If I were to post what I'm thinking right now, I have no doubt that I would be banned... For life.

“Note the entire leftist educational emphasis against attaching a “label” on anything. A “label” is an adjective. If appropriate, they are perfectly good descriptive modifyers.”

Right! After all, if the left wants to avoid something, all the more reason to do it. We need to start calling them what they are: socialists. It’ll make more average voters realize what’s going on. If the left wants to complain about us using the socialist label, fine .... let’s debate it. Bring it on!

“all the soldiers in american history that fought and died,or were wounded in battle, will have wasted all their effort and sacrifice if we allow this nation to become what the demonrats want it to become.”

there are many people who feigned illness or incapacity to avoid the draft in the 1960’s. then there were those who went north to avoid it.

now, those very same ones are espousing left-wing causes and pushing for democrat control of the government and now denigrating the efforts of u.s. soldiers in iraq.

it seems that the fifth column was in the city all along
and are now coming out of the closet.

i wonder how all this will end up.

From now on I'll refer to them as "Socialists" in some manner, depending the grammar required and the context. The Socialist party needs to be identified correctly. I will do this not only in postings, but in conversation.

Having thought about this issue for a long time and agreeing with the author, I think this is a good time (with their "coming out" quotes) to start.

Why not just Rats.

This 'party' is comprised of socialists, communists, envirowackjobs, homosexuals and other assorted perverts and haters of the Constituion and of America.

Sorry, that was too flip of me.

I think the message and effort should be aimed at the uninformed, casual voter. While indeed RATS is more descriptive, it can be a turn-off to some. Better, I think, to use “socialist” which is a well-recognized and negative label to most people in the country.

Why do we call them Democrats?

... because in polite conversation we avoid such correct but blunt labels as A**holes.

“Why Do We Call Them ‘Democrats’?”

“Because there’s no printable translation for “@#%@^&!*(@&%!”?”

Big time ROFL. Thanks.

You and me both brother. I have tidied up my profile even here.

But, if Obeymao gains more power, or sends his matrixed clones in his absence, screen names won’t cut it.

As it is, there is a stipulation in the Housing bill that authorizes transmission of all electronic transaction records to some ‘federal’ information gathering data center. If it feels like they’re coming for us, it’s because THEY ARE.

So, do we lay down, make nice, smile at the crap going on or do we fight?

No one is going to get me on my knees and beg. No one.

The war is not in Iraq or Afghanistan. It’s here. In our hearts and minds. And we are going to have to take a stand, apparently sooner rather than later.

So, you know what? Bring it, Obanazis. Bring it. Tell me I can’t say this or do that, or create my own wealth or take care of my own household. Tell me the United States Constitution needs rewritten and all will be better under your Great Black Massa, the nouveau Great White Father. Tell me I am too ignorant, working-class, uneducated to know. Tell me I shouldn’t be allowed to.........

Now, GO RECORD THESE WORDS IN YOUR TROLLING OF WEB SITE MOVEON-STYLE STORM-TROOP DATA MANIPULATION, you spineless, demonic minions:

OVER MY DEAD BODY.

The war is HERE, and I, an American Patriot, will win, with my brothers in arms.

I feel as if five areas of our culture has been marred by socialism and/or lennin’s view of socialism. These segments of our culture are:

One of our Political Parties

Our educational system (higher education included)

Our media

Some Judges on the bench

and Hollywood

Over the past fifty years these parts of our culture have slipped into the quicksand of socialism (in my view). Hollywood has gone down hill fast; and Hollywood is the biggest propaganda machine on the planet. Our media influences the mind of the sheople. If it wasn't for talk radio and FNC, the right would have no voice. Our schools systems are full of progressive thinking people who brainwash our children into believing socialism is a good thing. Judges on the bench create havoc and the people say the systems is broken and we need to change it. The system is not broke, it is the people from within the system that are broke. We fix this problem by removing those who wish to legislate from the bench. And last but not least the demoratic party is the socialist party and a lot of the people who vote demorat have no idea what they are voting for. I also believe that there are individuals in other parties who get bought by interest groups. We call them RINOs and they are no better then a demorat.

That is my assessment of the situation. And may I add that I believe we have the best system in the world, but we have the worst people running it. The thing that needs changed is to remove these thugs from power.

I am interested in hearing what others think about this. Also, if you think there may be other areas of our culture that are effected, please let me know.

Thanks

And may I add, I wish to change DC including the removal all the foreign interest group, but I do not trust Barrack Hussein Obama to do the job. I have seen his voting record (what little there is).

The right to buy AR-15s, AK-47, M1as, Winchester Model 70s, Remington Model 700s, Armalite AR-10s and the ammunition which they are chambered for.

USE YOUR RIGHTS!

(Also restored the right to own gold, which FDR had abrogated by executive order.)

The main reason the word “Democrat” continues to be used is that people think it means “rule” “by” the people. They don’t understand the corruption of the term.

They dropped the "N" and added a "C".

Thereby, DemonRat becomes Democrat!
