OWK's actual definitions:
Socialist: any state action which is promulgated on the principle that it is moral for the state to bestow objects of benevolence on their constituents from the public treasury. (thereby robbing one man, for the direct benefit of another).
It used to be that people calling themselves "conservative" recognized that this was inherently wrong.

Do you want to answer my question above?
Don't you think the growing unhappiness is problematic for Bush? Don't you think we ought to address it now rather then pretending it isn't there?
I repeatedly hear people say that not voting for Bush is a vote for a democrat, but if you ignore a growing dissatisfaction on the part of the people that elected Bush, it is YOU who is helping elect a democrat, by not encouraging this spending spree to stop. "Everything is fine" and then you wake up with John Kerry as President.
It isn't just people on FR or trolls from DU. That doesn't cut it. There are respected conservative leaders that are registering dissent. Are they Democrats? Is Phyllis Shafly a Democrat? Is Bob Barr a democrat? Is Rush a democrat? Just to name a few....
Bush barely won the last election. He barely won the last election with a unified center/right coaltion of people who were fired up to remove all signs of Clinton from the WhiteHouse. We can't afford to lose people. It is imperative that people voice their dissent so that Bush recognizes he is jeopardzing his re-election. And I will vote for Bush again, but there will be many who won't. They won't get out to help the President's relection, they won't vote or they will vote third party.
