But what about the rest of us who will be driven to ruin with them?

If we're on our feet, quick witted, charismatic, have a way with enfluencing the people, a strategy, counter-strategy, counter-counter-strategy and a safe house in an undisclosed location, we should be fine. :) It's all about convincing people what is right and what is wrong. It's a challenge. Freedom needs to be constantly cultivated. That's our job, and I think we do it well.

Let's think back to Clinton... Should I stop paying taxes because I disagree with the Mans behavior? What if I found out one of the heads of my local utility / electric company donated to the communist party, should I have my power shut off? Lets say there are two houses for sale, both houses are of equal size and condition and the location is pretty much the same... one is being sold for a below market price, but the man who owns it is a known homosexual activist... while the other house is being sold for very expensive by a poor old woman who has cancer. Guess which one I'm gonna buy... The cheaper one, that's right. and if I CHOOSE to help the old woman later cause her story tugged on my heart strings THATS MY FREEDOM TO DO SO!, I'm not giving them money to support anything. I'm giving them money for a house... That's how life is. I didn't make the rules. I just follow them. :)

Awesome post. We think on the same wavelength. What makes the Republican/conservative ideal great is that we're built on the right IDEAS. Rush talks about that rugged spirit non-stop. If it forces us to open up conservative-run warehouse stores with even cheaper prices, then great. We should do it. That's how the system works.

There's a world of difference between voluntarily patronizing a store and abiding by the laws of coercive taxation.

Of course not. Given government-granted monopolies, you'd most likely have no alternative. If the Leftist execs at Costco have their way - courtesy of your purchases - there'll be even fewer alternatives in other areas of our lives.
