Do you have some basis for insulting Palin with that FairTax remark ?
I have seen nothing to indicate she is a communist supporter of the FairTax.
Hey, the Jets won the Super Bowl!! Now I know it can’t happen.
Totally agree on Mitt, good as host of Love Connections, totally worthless everywhere else.
if it were to start, it would probably start in Dixie, and I can bet you the flag that would fly over the Rebel States...
All I have to say is, “Wolverines!”
Interesting read. But why a RINO like Mitt, god help us, your choice of leaders is what created this problem to begin with.
We should call the new country Galt’s Gultch, and require everyone to read Atlas Shurgged.
The last problem is this, conservatives really don’t give a poop, all we will do is whine, blog and work harder as slaves to the state.
Case in point:
Where’s the Conservative Million man march?
Where’s the conservative May Day?
Where’s the conservative march on DC demanding the Department of Education be closed? Where was the march to stop the bailout bill? Where are conservatives making a choice to go into education to shape minds?
We are a lazy, self-centered bunch of do nothing whiners.
Heh... there are differences — that’s partly a consequence of state boundaries, but also a good reason for them — but of the possible secession scenarios, California is probably the only plausible one, IMVHO. With $3+ a gallon gasoline and little local support for offshore drilling, and lack of its own electricity supply and water supply, even that isn’t too plausible. :’) Thanks RC!
My tag line for the last two weeks
I hear yeah!
As much as like Fred he never showed any desire to be president and ran a total non existent campaign. You can keep telling yourself that Mitt was a socialist all you want, but the facts are that in every primary he ran in he got the majority of the conservative vote. McCain was supported by RINO’s, indies, the Media and crossover Dems, three of which are now in the tank for Bambi. I will agree with your assessment of Huck’s effect on the campaign, but it wasn’t Fred that he hurt it was Mitt and by extension the Party’s chance to win this year.
Thank you for the time and effort you took took for that reply.
I think you are correct, except you do not follow through to the conclusion, even though you noted the generation of Reagan conservatives born from a Carter administration.
I am of the opinion that if preservation of a traditional America (with it’s current borders) is the desired end, an Osama win is the only hope. Many Freepers will refuse to see the “long game,” as they are so filled (understandably) with disgust at the notion of his becoming CIC.
Four years of McCain ends conservatism as a viable alternative, so dumbed-down, desperate, and anxiety-riden has the average schmo become. Every institution sacred to conservatives has been infiltrated or destroyed. Within four years, a voting majority will be living off of the wealth created by others. President McCain will do NOTHING to reverse, let a alone stop any of this. In fact, McCain’s amnesty will only hasten this demographic inevitability!
We all rag on about government (as a Freeper, it is in our blood), but the real problem is the people, and what they have allowed their “betters” to bully them into becoming. The only “hope for change” is something that wakes America up.
If you have the time, come up with an equivalent scenario with McCain winning. Our goose is still cooked in the short-term, if you pull the relevant data on who pays for what currently in this country.
People don’t care, or are afraid to care, or don’t know how to care. This is a very profound complacency.
