“Economic justice” and

“Compassionate Conservatism”

Both mean exactly the same thiing, socialism. The republcan party must reject all forms of socialism regardless of who the presenter happens to be.

And we should not pretend that any in our party who advocate for socialism are welcome in the party.

It’s bad enough that the left is involved in this cult of personality, but conservatives should know better.

No........it’s happening because of the U.S. people who voted for him “allowed” it, or better put, facilitated it along with rich Republicans who voted for him thinking what I’m not sure except perhaps that if they sidled up to the guy he would “work” with them. So no, it’s not happening because “we” allowed it and frankly I find that characterization highly insulting. I certainly didn’t vote for the guy, I’m not part of the “we”; and I don’t participate in “shared” guilt. If this guy gets his way, the upside is that he’ll weaken the U.S. militarily to the point that the Reds, Chinese or Russian may well see the advantage to a first strike.

This is a lot of talk that will result in even worse conditions for those with their hand out.

Just look at europe and find a single instance where their social engineering and socialist monetary policies have brought even one quarter the prosperity found in America.

Even in these times we are light years better off than any other country.

People who think they are entitled to the fruits of another's labor and use the government to take it are thieves as surely as if they had used a gun to take it themselves.

Joe the plumber told everyone but they would not listen. It was set up brilliantly with the McCain vote on the bail-out. And now they can be Palosi’s with the lowest approval ratings and blame Bush for as long as they want.

I searched and could not believe no one posted this series in July. I guess things looked good for McCain then and no one cared.

It is happening because we allowed it ...

...don't think that's the case. It happened because there are more stupid people in this world who still believe in a free lunch than there are people with a few neurons still firing.

“Compassionate Conservatism”

As soon as I heard that phrase in 2000, I knew I didn't trust the guy who uttered it.

WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO LEARN??? YOU HAVE TO THINK LIKE A LIBERAL IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THEM.

WHAT’S AT STAKE HERE? LIBERALS ARE SAYING, SINCE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER, WE WILL GIVE YOU THESE THINGS SO YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER.

THAT IS THE ARGUMENT THAT HAS TO BE REDUCED TO DUST...

YOU KNOW, I HAD A HUGE ARGUMENT WITH A FRENCHMAN THE OTHER DAY, EXTOLLING THE VIRTUES OF SOCIALISM AND STATE OWNERSHIP OF TRAINS, PLANES, BOATS AND BUSES. HE WAS SO GLAD ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THE STATE GAVE HIM FOR FREE.

EVERYTIME I ASKED HIM WHO WAS PAYING FOR IT, HE WOULD LOOK DOWN, BACK OFF, AND NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION. THEN HE WOULD COME BACK AGAIN AND MAKE EXACTLY THE SAME ARGUMENT. I WOULD MAKE THE SAME STATEMENT AND WE WOULD GO THROUGH THE WHOLE ROUTINE AGAIN.

THAT SAYS IT ALL.

It's not all Bush's fault though - a lot of our debt was built during the 90's but I do agree that he did not help the situation by any means! I just want to at least hear people complain about Clintoon as well! Debt Trend (asof 2007)

We’ve fought socialist dictators around the world for decades just to see one elected in our own nation. Shameful!

I think that those of us who actually did serve and fight will not take this lightly. We will not be disarmed and we will not be silenced.

From Obama’s years as teenager until now, all of his mentors
starting with Frank Davis, and friends have been anti-capitalist, anti-free enterprise, blame America for absolutely all the evil in the world. To suggest that he is anything but a hard left socialist with Chicago thuggery thrown in is absurd.

The Left is bent on Socialism and Marxism, it is what they do and wish for, in theory.

The push for the working to pay for the non-working, punishing business, punishing innovation and risk are all hallmarks of collectivist theory.

Obama is a Marxist, plain and simple, he wants to tell you how to live, work, eat, drink, drive, worship and invest.

Government regulates everything and control completely others...

In the end, the ACLU’s goals exactly align with what the Left wants...no private property, no private wealth, no moral judgment/vice, a weak military and punishment for those who object.

The “party members” who are looked to as leaders live lavish lifestyles, but the population lives in the communal existance the ideology rests on.

In the end, capitalism keeps the most people out of poverty because initiative is a self-generating system. If taxes are low, governmental intervention minimal, then busineees grow, employ people and create wealth (GDP) and via the recycled tax dollars of expansion and increased productivity, charitable programs are funded.

The Leftist wants to tear down independent wealth and replace it with a false collectivism, when in fact it is a way to consolidate power into fewer hands (see the former USSR, North Korea, Cuba, Cambodia, Venezuela, China).

He is a liar and a Communist.

The weak, Leftist media will NOT write a negative story about the Marxist Muslim Messiah, no matter how obvious his guilt.

We need to keep informed and let people know about the true nature of Communism and the Left, and our own enemies within (see Obama, Clinton, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Frank, Feinstein)...

I sometimes try to communicate what is happening to friends and relatives, but the sit there stunned as they truly believe what the NYT and ABC News says as Bilblical fact.

My own father, during the election, spouted about Palin, “A hearbeat from the Oval Office”...I nearly puked.

Gaffe Joe is an assassination away from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and that should scare the crap out of anyone, but the press continued to smear and smash Palin, but self-admittedly continued to suppress all coverage of Obama and Biden’s ridiculous remarks and speeches.

Be vigilant, out time will come again.

I always answer the question with P. J. O’Rourke’s quote:

If you think it’s expensive now, wait till it’s free.

Economic Justice should mean: “I earned it, I’m keeping it”
