I disagree.. but then I'm no conservative.. The left defines the words that must stop.. I'm a radical, not because I made myself one. It is just so.. Conservatives are leftists.. just not as far left as liberals.. I just woke up one morning became aware that I'm a radical. As is many many freepers that don't know it yet.. They are radicals too..
One thing is certain; this democracy will not become a republic again UNLESS some radicals do some radical things in a radical way.. Because "the political Middle" is leftist and conservatives are trying to conserve a version of Socialism.. Its like Maoists and Leninists and Marxists argueing over the spoils.. as Capitialists capitalizing on Socialism..
Leftists have defined what conservative MEANS.. so conservative means stingy socialist.. even to conservatives.. What America needs is in no way conservative. America needs radical surgery not eliteist intellectual compassionate conservatism.. The Federal Government should be a vassal of the States. Instead the States are vassals of the Federal government.. with only the remote odor of the original republic remaining.. Socialism is only a symptom of the social disease called democracy.. but democracy (being Mob Rule) is the vector of infection.. America has become a democracy.. and THATS the problem, the ONLY problem..
Conservatives don't know this has happened, but democrats(generally) DO, therein is their power, they're staying power.. Until Americans spit on the word democracy they will remain dupes and in denial.. and are "conserving" the socialism that we already have, which is manifold..
