A lot of state forced socialism has come out of strong church community impulse carried over into, or onto, state mechanisms. Of course one is voluntary, with self selected participants, and the other is non voluntary. But, anything for the children.

Mitt’s Mormonism, it’s racial, cultural and, up until recently, physical isolation, is, I think the foundation of his acceptance/comfort with state socialism.

And it will never leave him. Hence his constant RINOism.

Bingo, Leisler. He was born and raised Big Church -- hence he's naturally Big Government.

You know, all that may be true. I am just not interested in psychoanalyzing why any politician holds the views they have or votes for the things they vote for. If they support leftist policies I want nothing to do with them. They could have all the external trappings of John Wayne and Ronald Reagan combined.

If they support solid conservative principles and actually act on it when it comes down to the voting they can look and act like Pee Wee Herman on acid in their off time for all I care. Gun grabbing, baby killing, gay activist supporting, half-stepping flip floppers need not apply.

I thought this was a thread about health care reform. Turns out it is some kind of arcane inside joke instead. I don't have time for riddles.
