[Heartbreak of Psoriasis]

I think that one could and should add that McCain Feingold was passed by a Republican Congress, signed into law by a Republican president, and upheld by several Supreme Court "justices", some of whom were appointed by Republicans.

There is only one party in this country. We have a permanent government that just took another step toward formalizing their semi-heriditary rule. Let's talk about that, shall we?

All here who strove with might and main to elect Republicans are directly to blame for this outrage on the Constitution. You can't, my friends, vote for a party that routinely stabs you, their base supporters, in the back time after time after time and then profess surprise at the outcome.

A bedrock principle of our Common Law is that a man is presumed to intend the foreseeable consequences of his actions. You who gave money to the Republicans and voted for the Republicans and encouraged others to do the same in justice and in law intended exactly this murder of the First Amendment.

Admit it. You want Big Brother. Quit lying to yourselves, folks. You want the tyranny that is coming, because you fear the freedom and responsibilities of the American Revolution. If that weren't so, then why did your party just saddle future generations with the biggest socialist welfare-state program since LBJ?

Your words are one thing, but your actions are quite the opposite thing. Your actions betray your true motives of fear of having to deal with the freedom the Constitution exacts from us.

By their fruits you shall know them. And you who supported the GOP certainly knew how rotten the tree is. You can't no claim that you didn't know.

Nobody can accept the leadership of a Party that gave us the egregiously mis-named "Patriot Act" or that of self-admitted traitors and Trotskyites like David Horowitz and the rest of the neo-con infestation and then claim ownership of the American Tradition as laid down by the Founders.

You Republicans want what's coming, but you lack the moral fibre to admit it.

You want to be lead, and cared for, and loved by the dark face behind the mustache on the propaganda posters that will line the streets of our children's America.

Just admit it to yourselves and to others. You're statists and socialists in league with the New Deal. Get honest about it.

At least we'll be clear about who the enemy is. It's the lying, cryptic nature of Republican socialism and socialist Republicans that I can't stand.

Hmmm, sounds like a libertarian. Although, saddly I have to agree with most of what you had to say. No I am not a Republican, and on the domestic side am very disgusted with Bush. Those Republicans who actually are conservative and in the Senate are totally ball-less. Conservatives need to take back the Republican party, and do it soon!

Tin foil, anyone?

Well said, and dead on.

..."All here who strove with might and main to elect Republicans are directly to blame for this outrage on the Constitution. You can't, my friends, vote for a party that routinely stabs you, their base supporters, in the back time after time after time and then profess surprise at the outcome...."

Precisely! Theis is my problem with the Sean Hannity theory of pragmatisim in voteing. If you can be counted upon by the Repubs in the same way that the Dems can count on the blacks YOU HAVE GIVEN AWAY YOUR VOTE! It's rendered meaningless in that the motivation of the hacks becomes the ones they are trying to entice over. So many came to despise Clinton and all he stood for that Hannity's idea is "sound logic" in these now diseased minds.

See ya' at the civil war, folks!


Now lemmie see...ought six with a scope or m-16, dang what goes better with my genuine leather m60 field jacket!?

[zeugma]

I'll second that. There are a frightening number of jackboot supporters here. Of course, it's worse at DU, but that still doesn't excuse the mass cool-aide drinkage.

[ModernDayCato]

Well said...but you're wasting your time.

[LaraCroft]

Deeply saddened to be agreeing with you, and even more saddened that so many people don't seem to get it.

And you wonder why people load themselves willingly into cattle cars?

Apparently Bush signed the McCain-Feingold law to keep McCain from challenging Bush as an independent in the 2004 general election.

[spodefly]

True. Sad, but true.

So who are YOU gonna vote for, the Democrats who we KNOW will push into law homosexual marriage, partial birth abortion, 'hate crimes' legislation, etc.? The Republicans may not have done what we like, but I KNOW htey've stemmed the tide of some of the more egregious legislation. They're being stymied in the Senate by the RINOs who need to be defeated, and replaced by more conservative Senators. Now that we have our rallying points, we are responsible for making sure that there are conservative candidates who will run against Democrats and their RINO conterparts. Only by doing that will we ever have the hope of defeating the liberal slant of the courts by putting in place conservative legislators who will allow truly conservative justices to be appointed, and who will pass new laws which will buttress our points of view.

I've been posting that message since I arrived on FR some 4 years ago.

Mostly, I'm considered a loony for expressing my opinion that there is only one club in Washington. It's called the Gravy Train Club and it doesn't matter if you have a 'D' or an 'R' after your name...the membership card looks the same.

[philetus]

I've been saying the same thing, but you are so much more eloquent than I am.

[Tim Osman]

I agreed with most of your post.

Many at this site have the idea that if a GOP congress or president did it, it CAN'T be bad... I notice you have already been maligned by some of them. I hope that you are not discouraged by the flames you will get as a result of your plain-speaking truth telling.

Please, keep up the good work.

Myself, I was devastated by the CFR. I'm hoping that the author is simply being alarmist, and the 1st Amendment is not really dead... But it does seem to have been shot point blank in the face by those who claimed to be it's friends, and many on this site are sympathetic to the shooters.
