Ladies and Gentlemen of FreeRepublic,

Tonight you have before you one history's finest examples of democracy in action as one of the most sophisticated examples of a technical society crashes and burns on the economic heroin pursuant to a bankrupt ideology. If you ever needed an example of how hard representatives will try to ignore the words, "Limited Government," this is it. One more example of how the founders of this nation were correct in their assessment of the need to prevent the accrual of power, and the requirement of a vigilant and educated electorate.

God bless the Republic, only He can save us now.

CO

We are going to get constitutional limited government in our life time. The state can not nationalize every last piece of property and industry without causing lots of blood to flow.

Two cows explanation of governments.

Socialism:

You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

Communism:

You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides you with milk.

Fascism:

You have two cows. The government takes them and sells you the milk.

Bureaucracy:

You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours it down the drain.

Capitalism:

You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

Corporate:

You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to produce the milk of four cows and then act surprised when it drops dead.

Democracy:

You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point that you must sell them both in order to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow which was a gift from your government.

Maybe a few million more illegal immigrants sucking up sevices and destroying hospitals financial solvency could solve this. Many seem to think that is a solution. Bunch of deluded a-holes.

"only He can save us now."

Incredibly, it just keeps gettin absurder and absurder!!!

Davis commercials keep saying... "If we can't trust him to run his own business affairs... how can we expect him to run the world's 5th largest economy?"

If Sal Russo doesn't run an ad to respond with something to the effect that the governor doesn't "run the economy, he can only help it along!!! Davis is driving it out of it's collective mind to other States & Countries with his collectivist thinking and actions!!!

You're so right! "Only He can help us now!" Davis can't run anything without corrupting it and bankrupting it!!! (then tries to blame others) I guess the people have been sold collective altruism to the point that they can no longer see this new "bondage" as a "pocket book issue" that is self-destructive to the 5th largest economy on Earth, to say nothing of their own self-interests!!!

Notice how the welfare recipients are first in line to be paid, and those who produce the things the state needs are at the tail end?

Talk about an inverted morality!
