-The Clintons are evil, because they want turn us into a socialist/totalitarian state and give us up to UN rule.

-The DemocRats are evil, because they want to close our churches, take away our guns, and kill unborn childre.

-The DemocRats must be destroyed, because the contol the press and judicial nominations,

-You have been bismerched on your intergrity, probably over all those this silly posts over what you're doing with all the money from that pledge drive.

-This socialism started with FDR...

Here are my responses, cogent and probably middle of the road. Our Constituiton does provide for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But what you ar advocating is a one party system, which as student of history make wonder, what is going to happen to other half of American(those who vote dem).

I'm not sure that you've interpreted Jim's writings exactly correctly. The constitution does allow for life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. It also guarantees several things including the right to keep and bear arms, the right to speak freely in redress of government actions, the right to be free from illegal and unsubstantiated search and seizure. It is an unchanging document, except through the amendment process. Unfortunately, liberal judges have found ways to circumvent the literal meaning of the constitution. That is why they need to be defeated.

I don't see Jim advocating a one-party system. The democratic party has pulled to the extreme left in recent years, for whatever reason. They own the public school system and most of the media. They need to be defeated for the simple reason that they are not willing to operate within the confines of the constitution which defines the limits on government power.

The pursuit of happiness is about disagreeing and the system of government is about compromise to level that is the least odius to all invovled. That's what's great about this country and all countries under their form of democracy.

We live in a Republic, not a democracy. We elect our officials democratically. But, they are obligated by law to operate the government within the confines of the constitution. We can compromise on many issues, but the constitution and its amendments are not among those issues. The democrats believe that the constitution is a "living" document, thus the constraints on the government, in their mind, are ever-changing. That is why they need to be defeated.

Also what you do do with the money is your own busness...

I agree - I support FR in a modest way, but I am not going to audit JimRob any time soon. If I think I'm not getting my money's worth, I'll stop contributing. So far, its well worth supporting.

Meyer,

This is a democratic republic, and was long before party names. Our forefathers had the foresight to make a system of checks and balances. No tyranny of the majority, neither tyranny of the minority.

The Atenians lost their democracy to the Spartans and the Romans lost their republic to Cesear.

Please stop with this crap we are a republic not a democracy, it offends true historians.
