WE had eight years of a weak corrupt government.

The price we paid for that weakness will last generations.

Your personal life should become an affair of state when your personal life endangers others.

But the article is actually about central versus decentralized government. I lean more toward decentralized, but I have no illusions that somehow state level governments cannot themselves abuse their power.

If power were to lean in their direction, they, too, would become corrupt over time. Ohio's governor, Bob Taft, is a current, prime example.

Reese is a paleo which disqualifies anyone claiming conservatism. He can call neo-Neville Chamberlainist isolationism to be "conservative" but it is the same old ideology of national cowardice.

Since he has purported to enlist Jefferson Davis and the Confederates to his discredited cause of paleopantywaistism, I suspect he is suggesting that men like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson who served with distinction in the Mexican War were also on the side of paleopantywaistism when they stood with their state against the Union? I don't think so.

Let's see:

1) Despises all things military;

2) Resists war of any sort but particularly against the enemies of the USA;

3) Hallucinates that leaving Islamofascisti unopposed to consolidate their control over Islam will be better in the long run for the US;

4) Knee jerks uncontrollably at every opportunity to bash Bush or common sense or both;

5) Whines, moans and groans with as much skill and experience as any Senate Demonrat;

6) Will always blame America first, last and always.

7) Apparently regards murder by abortion and "gay" "marriage" as human "rights."

8) Hallucinates explicitly that WWII was a war for empire, ignoring small matters such as Pearl Harbor. EVEN THE AMERICA FIRST COMMITTEE folded its tent in the face of Pearl Harbor and Charles Lindbergh finally fought as an aviator after being made to spend three years begging FDR for the opportunity of proving that he was ready to be a patriot. We can know that Reese is not a Demonrat because???????

Does character count?

Did Bubba ever submit to blackmail while in office?

Just another reason why character counts.

The RPR (Republican Party Reptile) believes in minimum government interference in private affairs - unless the government brings over extra girls and some ice.
