The Right wants gays to have equal rights,

Wrong. I want PEOPLE to have equal rights.

I’d like to think there is still a Center (maybe Center-Right) in the USA. The left-leaning MSM has so mis-behaved to trample the meaning of a “free press”. The so-called Left’s tolerance of dissent has been shown to be a sham, they have no scruples, except to use vile tactics to shutdown debate. The RINOs haven’t helped either, they’ve been co-opted by Government’s power. I wish we really could find a way to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” and “We the People, ...” to re-invigorate the American brand of individual responsbility with minimal Government intervention.

The military is disproportionately composed of people from the Red/Gray states. Each of them has taken an oath to defend the US Constitution. Not the president, not the congress, not the supreme court. Every man and woman that has ever served has taken that same oath. For me that oath did not expire when I left the military. Every branch of the government has trampled the Constitution and must be stopped. That is not overthrowing the government. That is restoring the government. Every member of the government that has voted to usurp the Constitution is guilty of treason! Perhaps it’s time for the military to do it’s duty and secure the country so we can have fair elections and restore the authority of the Constitution.

The Left envisions an egalitarian society. The Right does not. The Left values equality above other values because it yearns for an America in which all people have similar amounts of material possessions.

I wonder if the left would demand that the wealth of the Hollywood glitterati, the media talking heads, the George Soroses of the world, and the labor union bosses be forcibly distributed among the proletariat.

Good article. It’s the same reason Sarah Palin has been attacked unmercifully by the left.

Are there any politicians that fight for the Red side anymore? GW and McCain sure aren't and I couldn't even begin to tell you who the Minority House and Senate leaders are.

“...they seem to miss the hardcore threat of an Obama.....Or maybe they do see it, but think it’s imprudent to say so.”

I suspect that that’s the case. Or maybe they feel it just goes without saying. Just like the Obamas of the world , or any other totalitarians, the left wing base of the Democrat Party, or the European “democracies” believe that governmental power should be limitless. Their goal is “fairness”, NOT freedom and the pursuit of happiness.

The thing is that once things go sour people stop cooperating with governmental “reforms” in order to protect their property or whatever other natural rights. At that point the mask is off, and the governmental apparatus in these “democracies” will come down on them with whatever it takes. So once we get Obama and a Democrat congress and left wing domination of the Supreme Court, we’ll just be a temporarily wealthy version of North Lorea and Cuba.

Bureaucratic tyrrany (how do you spell that?) is already here in its early stages, with liberal state government beauracracies refusing to investigate massive voter fraud (even in the face of massive evidence), or Democrats in Bush’s Justice Dept railroading Cheney’s chief of staff, or low level operatives in the CIA leaking defense secrets to the NY Times. Or how about those “Human Rights Commissions” in Canada?

Well, if you look at the “sex education for Kindergartners” thing, that is the perfect example of one of those “we’re going to lie to your face so you don’t reject us” things.

Barack Obama has a clear vision of what he wants for education. When he spoke to Planned Parenthood, he said what he really believes, “but it was the right thing to do”, with regards to this subject. It’s simple. He believes it’s the right thing to do and he knew that the mainstream wouldn’t swallow that, so he’s hid it and tried to get his synchophants to bury it. They deny it was what he meant. Despite what he says. Because they knew that the right would look at that in horror. It’s kinda like NAFTA. He rails against it and then in a wink he says to the people who would be most hurt by changing it, don’t worry, I didn’t really mean it.

He knows his views on a lot of things are repugnant to most of America and so he continues to lie about them until he can win. And Lord help us if he does. He’s proven to be nothing but an empty suit socialist.
