No, the "far right" is the John Birch Society, the Pitchforkers, The Spotlight/Lew Rockwell readers, and the assorted other forever unhappy slobs that resent and fear anything or anyone that does not fit their image of a "true American” or that has achieved some success in life. They are not who built this country those that built this country are just average everyday folks taking care of their families, paying their taxes, going to the polls to vote, going to work every day and many are vets or active duty. I know this will come as a shock, but the vast majority don't give 2 seconds thought to how "bad" this country is, as a matter of fact, a whole lot of them fall to their knees and thank God for this country every day. They are too busy with their own responsibilities to build bunkers, put on camouflage, and fancy themselves the reincarnation of the founding fathers. This country was NOT built by your definition of conservative, however it could be destroyed by them and they appear hell bent on doing just that
Wrong again they even left us with the words to do it with.
WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great- Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.
Sweet Dreams all you Bushbot Rock Lobster Fans .. Hey is there a club we can join??? .. ping me if there is ..
The unappeasables are the fisherman's wife, in the old fairy tale. They are political naifs, and to a person, think that a president has the powers of an absolute monarch. Of course, even an absolute monarch NEVER had the powers they imagine such a person would have. That's WHY I am tired of trying to have an adult debate, with a bunch of two year olds throwing temper tantrums and why FR has become far worse, than anything that any Liberal has ever accused it of being. : - (
Well then ... do us all a favor
Splitting up this Country .. Destroying everything we are .. all because you have a friggin hissy fit .. GROW UP!!!
He never had the "far right" in the first place. You don't get it, you can't lose something you never had.
You are a real piece of work.
Ahhh...a liberal in sheeps clothing. A MAJOR part of liberism is compromise and incrementalism......slowly get the governement to control 100% of the economy and us. There is no compromise when it comes to indivdual freedoms prescibed by the Founders.
We flat disagree about the press. Yeah, use pardongate as an example. That's perfect. Who got indicted? How many columns did you see in the mainstream press to actually investigate?
It seems like every time the people in this country speak with ANY message that conservatives don't like, you act like Democrats and blame the people. It doesn't work that way, my friend. The voters get what they want, and that is what disturbs you. You can "lead" all you want, but if the public perceives that you aren't leading in the right direction, you are gone. Jimmy Carter "led." He had all sorts of stupid initiatives.
I guess we agree that the Dems and the press will say there are no crimes committed. So that's half the voters (and consumers of news) who are going to turn off this message. How far are you going to go with that rabid 1%?
Now, here is a challenge for you. Think before you respond, and if you start posting about Riady or pardongate again I'll ignore you: name me ONE, ONE administration in American history (let alone any GREAT one) whose primary focus was investigating "crimes" of any other administration.
But by all means, you join the 2% who voted for Buchanan and Browne or the other fringe candidates. Next time, they'll get 2.0000001%.
