This whole thread is nothing but exaggerations and distortions.
Armed revolution?? Please...
You all think the economy is in shambles because gas prices are high? Jeez, what would happen if supply gets constricted and we're back to lines at the stations? Does nobody here remember what it was like in 1980? I do, and we're a long way from that point.
People (especially those on fixed incomes) are finding their budgets stretched thin? Welcome to real life. Our current standard of living is unbelievably distorted compared to the rest of the world, and even to that experienced by our own parents and grandparents, and yet the spoiled children of this generation start crying and throwing hyperbole about whenever the slightest whiff of trouble arises.
Yes, socialism is a creeping disease and must be fought against at all costs. But the war for the soul of America is far from over as most here would suggest. This country has survived a devestating civil war, two world wars, and 4 years of Jimmah Carter. Get some historical perspective people, grow a spine, and be ready to put your money where your mouth is.
If you truly believe in the value of conservatism you'll understand the fight is not for you but for the future generations of this great nation.

You seem to contradict yourself. While I certainly agree with you that we are a bit spoiled as Americans, nonetheless, we feed the world, give away billions, and are always the first to provide aid in a crisis.
The point is should we sit back and accept the status quo so as not to appear spoiled, or do we go out and break a few eggs to try and make things better and expand freedom and liberty?
