I’m more and more convinced, these people SHOULD be democrats. You know, I might be able to have a modicum of respect for the democrat part if these were the kind of people running it. Or Evan Bayh — there are only a few respectable demrats left. These rinos should join them and bring some sanity. I’m serial.

This country’s essential strengths are two: First, our belief in a superior being from whom flows our inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Why anyone would be comfortable with these rights flowing through human beings is beyond me.

Second, our country is strong precisely because it was not ideologicaly. The beauty of the Constitution is that it provides a framework for governance that allows for maximum human freedom to grow personally, spiritually and materially. Specifically, it protects individual as opposed to group rights. And, most important, it deliberately limits government to specified activities.

Now the ideologues are trying to take over. They believe their master, Marx, provides the way to societal well being by limiting individual freedom. In short, Marx is about the group and the US Constitution is about the individual.
