I have often wondered what happened to France. They helped us win our war of Independence, then they sunk into a socialist sewer.

I fear the same thing that's happening to America. People valuing government more than the freedom to chart their own course and determine their own destiny.

The dim/lib thinking that we people know what's best for you people. We'll tax and regulate the hell out of the few producers and successful hosts out there, and then feed and shelter our voting base/parasites/pets.

When sloth, incompetence, and ignorance are rewarded and supported by governments, it cannot be a good thing for the rest of us who, thank God, had good parents. The true keep to this whole mess.

Well, the rains have returned to Centex - yikes. ;-)

A real democracy is something siezed by the middle class for themselves, not something imposed from above or below. England and the United States are the only two countries to ever have large enough middle classes to succeed.
