I would prefer to be able to directly assist people in my community, instead of sending money to Washington to dole out to whom they chose.

Socialism is anti-Christian and anti-Freedom - of that there is zero doubt. Charity is called charity because it is done by "free will" but when the government confiscates from one group of people to give to another - that is not charity and it's not love.

It's time once again, boys and girls, for your daily lesson.

Extremists will NEVER get to vote FOR anyone. That is the nature of the universe. That is not something I impose on you. That is not something the GOP imposes on you. That is something the reality of the political spectrum imposes on you and there is nothing you or I or anyone will ever be able to do about it. The best you will ever be able to do is vote . . . in the immortal words of W. F. Buckley for the "most rightward, viable candidate".

Now repeat after me, class:

My Optimal Procedure Is To Vote For The Viable Candidate Who Is More Conservative Than The Opponent.

There. Wasn't that easy?

Now trot along and read up on John Kerry's pro_Life credentials.
