Until that blessed day arrives, hopefully in 2006, they will continue to dream their impossible dream and inflict its misery upon the American people."
"What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long."
Thomas Sowell
until they have been deprived by the American electorate of any semblance of political influence.
I'll drink to that day!
May it come soon.
Succinct.
Wow. From memory after not hearing that uplifting song in years. Thanx for reminding me, even though you didn't mean to do so.
Dear Dems,
Just one word: "Courage".
Keeping them from power will not be so easy as just one election.
It may take a civil war.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.-- C. S. Lewis
Hi Char...excellent post.
I have updated my FMCDH (From My Cold Dead Hands) sign-off with the addition of (BITS).....Blood In The Streets, which I foresee coming soon, due to the enormous increase of the Marxist progressive movement being shoved down the throat of this failing REPUBLIC through the Judicial tyranny of fiat law, the passing of unconstitutional laws by the Legislative and Executive branches of our government and the enormous tax burden placed upon the average American to support unconstitutional programs put forth by Marxist ideology
. I do not advocate revolution. I only think of what I foresee.

---That's the left's bottom line.
BUMP!
They can lie, they can engage in the worst kind of slander against their enemies, they can use the media to spread their distortions of the issues and the characters of their foes, they can ally themselves with the butchers of the unborn, the defenders of sodomy, the promoters of pornography and unrestrained sexual license, convicted criminals whose right to vote they espouse. In their world everything goes as long as it advances their cause, no matter how deeply it is immersed in sleaze and dishonesty.
I honoestly believe that if the Left had unlimited power in this country, we conservatives and Christians would be in concentration camps or in ovens as soon as they think they could arrange it.
Excellent post!
The left always associates the conservatives with Nazism and fascism. The truth of the matter is that the left will lead our culture into Nazism and use facism to impose its ends. One trait of the left is that they fail to recognize truth based on facts. Their truth is how they feel about the matter. They have no more hold on the truth than a fortune teller with a crystal ball or a tarot card. For them, truth is what they are to divine from her instinctive perceptions. This way of rationalization lends itself to the setting up in power those who rule based not upon realities rooted in fact, but realities based upon feelings. Such moral relativism sets the stage for fascism.
We see in the behavior of the left their fascist tendencies. They will vandalize property that represents something they oppose. They will use court action to attack the culture they oppose. They will assault people who speak truth they oppose. They will support a fascism that rules those who refuse to ignore the facts with the force of death if necessary. They are not about truth. They are about the imposition of a nihilistic culture that rejects individual responsibility but demands conformity. It is a culture of contradictions that embraces a culture that has no guidelines and easily accepts values that contradict each other.
Nazism, in the same way believes that the force of death is necessary to weed out the unfit and move humanity to a higher order. It opposes the death penalty now, but when such a system is fully in power, will use the death penalty to expedite its Utopian dream to a higher social order. Under this system those deemed useless will be eliminated with a "happy pill" to make way for younger, more useful citizens. Nazism uses fascist tactics to achieve its ends.
