Pursue Happiness, Vote GOP
The real reason Republicans win.

A prescient friend among serious Democrats explained last week what was wrong with his party and how it had contributed to liberalism's defeat on Nov. 2. He believes a growing majority of Americans simply don't trust Democrats because Democrats don't trust Mr. and Mrs. America to make sound decisions for themselves and their families.
Blue-collar Americans believe liberals are anti-Christian and seek to suppress all public expression of religious beliefs, including school prayer. That they are amoral--or, as Irving Kristol once said, a liberal is someone who thinks it is all right for an 18-year-old girl to perform in a porn film so long as she is paid the minimum wage

And the ACLU trying to FORCE homosexuality on Kentucky School children, even saying outright that the parents don't have any rights and if they don't like it to take their kids to private school, is just another sick example of how the left is infected with power madness.

What a great article! I emailed it to my "liberal" friends. It points out exactly why I am a Republican.
(Please FReepmail if you want on, or off, this list. I certainly have no desire to increase anyones stress-level. Thanks!!!)
Reminds me of a popular cigarette brand, OPCs.

EXCELLENT ARTICLE!!!Oh, yeah. A BULLSEYE, alright!
Rather than applauding Hillary Clinton's telling them last summer that their taxes must be raised because "we're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good," they prefer Newt Gingrich's observation that the Declaration of Independence's Pursuit of Happiness includes an active verb: "Not happiness stamps; not a department of happiness; not therapy for happiness. Pursuit."
If the Democratic Party allows itself to be defined by Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore and the editorial page of the New York Times, while Republicans, their president and their strengthened congressional majorities encourage the pursuit of happiness in an opportunity and ownership society, then Mr. and Mrs. America will make sure conservatives are in power for a great many years to come.

We had a college bond here that passed by a few 1000 votes. Several million dollars. We were told that it wasn't "that much" but all these special interest "not much" taxes adding up. A lot of property owners were not supporting so the seniors were told that they would be made exempt if they would vote yes. I guess it worked. Many weren't for the bond until they found out someone else would be paying for it.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks SB for the ping. Obviously we all need to keep up whatever efforts each of us makes in order to increase the Republican margin in both houses of Congress during the 2006 elections. I can think of one NY senator who needs an early retirement. Also, we need to set the tone for the 2008 presidential nominations. I should think that there will be a large number of candidates initially, from both major parties, and it should be interesting to watch. :')
Oh, I HOPE so!
...Ah, so you're getting into 'agriculture'?
I'm studying...in the pursuit of happiness
