But I also understand why Republicans are banding together.

I’m conservative, but have never been very partisan untill now- last election was the first year I’ve ever voted a straight Republican ticket.

I feel like I’m being radicalized against my will, but what can I do? The Democracts have have abandoned all pretense of concern for fair play, or reasoned debate. Instead they push lies and break election rules, all in the pursuit of power. (I’m from Washington State).

Their handeling of the Iraq War is the grossest example of this.

How is it possible that the same people who voted for authorizing the war, are now voting to undermine the war effort. – It is intolerable that constituents allow this. Now I disagree with those who voted against the war, and still oppose it- but I can understand their reasoning. I’m with those who supported the war, and still do.

However, the majority of Democratic leaders voted to send our men off to die (the inevitable result of war) and now want to vote to cripple the war effort thus making the deaths of those who have already dies meaningless. There’s a term for that: “Betraying your own troops” and I find it dispicable that this is being tolerated.

There are a few Republicans who have done this- but they’ll be dead in the next primary. Can you say the same of Democrats? No.

Nor is this the first time Democrats have done this. They supported the Vietnam War when it started, but then backed out after it got tough. If you’re not willing to support a war when it gets tough- then don’t vote for war! Lieberman is the only one of the bunch with any charactor or integrity left.

I highly doubt I’ll ever vote Democrat again.

Yes, I confess I got carried away, because as many problems as multiculturalism presents, extreme nationalism presents more. Mea culpa to the mongrel dogs, I didn’t mean any insult to them, actually am somewhat of an animal lover.

SAT’s in the top 5% of the country.

Infinite geometric series where |QED| Our offspring will all come out like mongrel dogs, in shades of brown and beige.

A barbarous thing to say, even as a straw argument: In mala fide. Tribalistic.

“Jai Bhagwan” (Hindi) = “I bow to the Divine light within you.”

Yes, Rudi it must drive them nuts that in a few years they will be in the minority, and might even be speaking Spanish as a second language! Oh the humanity! Our offspring will all come out like mongrel dogs, in shades of brown and beige. Maybe a few of these people should get out more in the world to become more , hmm what is the word? Oh yeah multicultural!

You think they should teach about Wilberforce in a middle school social studies class? I have a degree in government, but I had to google him!

QED.

Google “Jacques Barzun.”

Google “Abolition of Man CS Lewis The Tao” – for the contributions of all cultures to the Western concepts of liberty, brotherhood of man, reason, faith.

Dead tree perusal is highly recommended, however.

Jai Bhagwan

Does it seem that the problems aren’t really problems until someone claims they fix them? Maybe less is more. The over driving principle to get something done, and be an accomplisher isn’t working. If you can take the infotainers as they are its fine, unfortunately a lot of people take them as gospel. At least they are trying.

Stevesh is right. White males are not the enemy. Culturally When you force the most heavily pressured (by taxes & responsibility) demographic of your population they get angry. Patriarchy has been superseeded by Angerarchy! No one is in charge. Ergo everyone is in charge. Nothing gets a fair shake.

The population centers are overburdened by the everflowing greed of free. Free food, free money, shelter, drugs, etc. When the benefits of society out live their true intrinsic value they become indemic of the ill they were created to save. Unemployment insurance. It is part of the problem of unemployment. Carrot/stick. I am not vilifying unemployment insurance, but it is an easy example. Help is supposed to be just that. Help. I think when you replace god with government you give up a host of opportunity. Faith is inside of you to do all things. When you make it your political choice to help every one and thing you steal the right to make those choices for future generations. I am not opposed to help, honest. I am talking about incessant, ceaseless, neverending help. Hmm, maybe term limits to all laws, and not politicians…(?).

Maybe there should be stricter rules for help. Like a urine test for every government check. Any one or any organization that gets a grant or has a public contract should have to pee in a cup. Yes, I know its rediculous, but hear me out. Every person that benefits from the money. If a compny gets a huge government contract, then every time they get a check, every employee has got to pee. Welfare, student loans, educators, social security, little league teams, politicians, tax returns, etc. Now they would be monitored tests, no peeing behind a door, and scrutinized for every peice of celery. Funny, huh? Every check. Every single one. That would make a lot of sense. Maybe we would need less money flowing from our government. Our government funds its enemies. That really isn’t freedom.

“Due to the advent of talk radio…”

If, only.

Been in a middle school social studies class lately? Teach multiculturalism as the demotic sine qua non without context. Drive the source of the expression, “the lion lays down with the lamb,” from the public square. Wilberforce, who? Barzun? Vilify (even) Jefferson, et.al..

Pound away at it for two generations (creating, ironically, heads of mush predisposed to either/or: Limbaugh – Maher).

Tribalism.

The Limbaugh types always have a somewhat logical sounding reason that the latest Bush scandal isn’t a scandal, if you ignore the facts.

The other thing that bothers me is, respectfully, in quoting Wikipedia as fact. While often a good source, it’s still a socially-run website prone to opinions of the current author. Quoting the source of the source would be the way to go, IMHO.
