You make some excellent points! Really. I was riled up when I got that e-mail. But you did a good job putting things in a broader context. I agree that RINOS and Marxists should be our main targets in this revolution.

My post wasn't directed at you, but at the author, as I hope you understand, my FRiend.

I'm always a little suspicious of these viral e-mails right after a big Democrat loss. What the Democrats fear even more than anything else is that we might be able to break their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. And guess what? More Republicans are retiring from the Senate than Democrats, so a "throw ALL the bums out," mentality plays right into their hands.

But the bigger picture, as I said in another post in a different way is that the original Marxist Camel's nose under the tent is Social Security. It has satisfied its masters design: permanent Democrat majorities in perpetuity. But another of its intended consequences is to make seniors dependent on what is essentially welfare, and remove the stigma that used to exist of accepting direct payments from the government. Worse, it is soon going to destroy our currency and our economy. Medicare is even worse. Many older Americans collecting Medicare are unaware that they've never even paid a dime into the system.

Conservatives shouldn't be misleading people: Medicare is not going to collapse. It already has. The only thing that's keeping it going right now is the ability of the Fed and Treasury Department to kite checks back-and-forth to each other, and the fact that the Government doesn't have to adhere to generally accepted principles of accounting. Emerging economies are not fooled: The Indians and Chinese are buying Gold, and now that Gold is (temporarily) too hot, they're buying Silver.
