You are so right. Australia is Socialist, but it NOTHING like the garbage being spewed by the left.

This is not socialism nearly as much as it is a blantant attempt of introducing communism. Scares the heck out of me!!!

"This time, we will simply refuse to pay the taxes...

If it were only that easy. As long as other countries are still buying our treasuries, the beast lives on."

What would happen if taxpayers just kept filing for extentions to stop the flow of money to Washington?

Each person needs to look within themseleves for what that answer may be for them. I think it will become more apparent to all as we progreess down the road to slavery.

We don’t need a Ronald Reagan at this point, we need a George Washington or Alexander Hamilton.

I really don’t think most people who voted for Obama knew they were going to get socialism. I think most are too stupid to even know what socialism is. They voted for him because they didn’t want to vote for the old guy who was like Bush. They voted for him because he spoke well (with teleprompter help) and McCain seems doddering and inarticulate. They voted for him because they were hung up on seeing a minority in the White House. But socialism? I really honestly don’t think the majority of Obama voters considered it would happen after Obama’s election. The media types did but not the regular Joes out there who voted for him.

I agree, and many who voted for Obama are going to feel DUPED, not a good thing for Obama, or the Dem party, perhaps a tremendous opportunity for Republicans/Conservatives.

I’m not at all oppose to whatever form of battle the situation requires.

But it seems much easier to just cut off the life blood of socialism, our money...

I think there are far fewer than 50 percent of Americans who want this fascist style of Socialism 0 is delivering. To the dimwits, politics is like a game show with pop stars, and 0 is the flavor of the day. The media turns on all the hype, and the audience is mesmerized into following their wishes. Most of the voters don’t know anything about the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, Karl Marx, Capitalism or Socialism. They just want to belong to the winning team, as long as they don’t have to suffer for it. 0 is going to make all of us suffer, from the people who want to own their homes without paying for them to those who don’t want to pay for someone else’s home. Our stuff is going to be in one big mess.

All true...

And then it comes the time to pay the piper...

I wonder when the American taxpayer will figure out where his/her real power is?

“...I think most are too stupid to even know what socialism is....”

Perhaps:
1) many of Obamas supporters were naive enough to believe a media which preached that spreading of “the wealth is good for the economy”

2) many other Obama’s supporters screamed loudly about the evil greed of the rich while ignoring their own equally evil envy and coveting

“Where is John Galt when you need him ??”

He is dead and, like all of Rand’s characters, childless.

The entitlement mentality reigns in America at this moment...

We can continue to tolerate it by paying for it, as if we have no choice in the matter, or we can end it by refusing to fund it...

One conservatives had better learn from the left is how to move as a unit in common interests. Conservatives want to work alone and alone, we are vulnerable. But together, he with the gold can make all the rules...

That scumbag Zero better come up with his “tax cuts for 95% of all Americans” soon.
He promised, over and over and over, right up until election day.

“But unlike their home country, at some point, those who pay will decide to stop paying in America. We threw tea in the Boston Harbor last time. This time, we will simply refuse to pay the taxes...”

No you won’t. A good definition of a conservative is one who is a “good citizen”. Good citizens are law-abiding, pay up on time, don’t get into trouble.
Tim Rice was right when he wrote of conservatives that “it hurts them more to jeer, than to applaud”.

America as we knew it is dead. It's time for IDEOLOGICAL SEPARATION. Split the country in half and put the Obama supporters on one side and the rest of us on the other. Let them pass whatever socialist debacle they want, and pay for it themselves. I'm particularly interested to see how wealthy liberals like it when there's no conservative middle class to act as a buffer, paying all the taxes and suffering all the abuses such as affirmative action, illegal immigrant crime and wage depression, and so forth.

coveting, theft, and lies are the basis of socialism and those who push it for their own power.

Coincidentally, these just happen to be sins of the big 10 magnitude.

Wait, what about murder (abortion) and adultery (liberals? please).

Oh, and the last of the horizontals - honoring forbears and tradition... nope, guess the left fails that one too.

Can we conclude that the left is anti-God, and therefore evil? Yes We Can!
