The point about killing the children of rapists and incestuous parents is very apt. This is an injustice, and quite inconsistent with what we know: that these babies are human, and have human rights the same as anybody else. I am taken aback at myself for not objecting to that.

I will stay home if the R’s nominate McCain, Huck, Mitt, Rudy, or Newt. These assclowns and the rest of the Rinos care about America and Conservative principals as much as Obama. They can all burn in hell together.

Thank God Romney wasn’t elected. Talk about the fox in the hen house.

“Thank God Romney wasn’t elected. Talk about the fox in the hen house.”

Republicans who rail against people and call them names for not supporting their pet liberal over the other side’s pet liberal just do not comprehend where conservatives are coming from. They either do not understand what “Republican” is SUPPOSED to mean or do not care. Kind of like the Guiliani supporters. Same cloth.

“Thank you, I share your sentiments; “

Whenever you are attacked by Romney and other lib supporters, remember that you are not alone. We outnumber them.

Nothing less.

Sorry if I seem choked up, but finding this site has been a major blessing in a real time of need.

The righteous shall not bow to impropriety lest they become complicit in the destruction of our nation.

God Bless.

Good answer - or unsubstantiated conjecture?
also defeatist

“Why did the Declaration of Independence need 1337 words to say FUKG”

They would be teaching this in school then. It doesn’t have the word “God” in that.

SirKit told me about this the other day. It will truly take courage on all our parts to fight back against this tide, and I’m glad to see religious leaders standing together.

No, you can (in part) thank your own much vaunted fear of third parties for socialized healthcare, as your association of third parties with the healthcare debacle is, IMHO, entirely detached from the realities on the ground. Rather, it is the skillful manipulation of a carefully controlled two-party system that has brought us two our present dilemma.

First, in Illinois the only third parties with ballot access are liberal ones, so the electoral effect of the little thirds nets out to a conservative benefit here. But the established parties here have built a self-protective barrier that makes it nearly impossible for a contrary voice to be raised.

Second, third parties are totally consistent with free market principles. Competition is beneficial, not harmful, even to the political process. Lack of competition creates insularity from the “customer.” This produces the “political class” syndrome, us versus them, rather than us running our own government.

Third, in some states, like Illinois, the commonality of interest between the two parties is so strong we now have our Republican candidates publically kissing the, er, feet, of liberal democrats. One well-known Republican here recently praised Democrat Lisa Madigan as better than his own Republican candidate for AG, despite the fact that she is a rabid feminist, pro-abortion, ACORN entangled uber-liberal. His rational was that she was “doing such a good job.” Well, her daddy, Mike Madigan, runs the state, is the de facto governor. So if you don’t kiss up to him you won’t get anywhere, even if you’re Republican. Connect the dots.

Fourth, sometimes third parties can change the game completely, and win. Abe Lincoln was third party, back when being Republican was a third party gig, because the only show in town was the dems versus the whigs. So it can be done.

So please don’t generalize that third parties are a bad idea. That’s two-party propaganda and it’s not surprising it reinforces the established two-party means of failure that has brought us to this point. Sarah Palin, perhaps inadvertently, said it best. The two-party system is pathologically corrupt because they run like a business. As long as everybody gets enough market share to keep their personal revenue streams in tact, they’ll keep doing what they have done for too long, promise us anything then blindly follow the party executives wherever the money leads them, just like any good business operation.

You go there if you like. I’ve been a pub my whole life, but it’s over between me and them. No more buying the line. No more false hopes of revitalization that will only delay an effective response to the current crisis. It’s time to walk away and start over.

Well, but what do you think of conservative third parties, like the Constitution Party? Or don’t you consider us conservative. I am facinated to know your thoughts...
