Being considered a socialist stems from your post after post after post on this thread that usurps the idea of fighting party dogma. It is you and your ilk who are promoting the success of Obama and the Democrats by supporting liberal Republicans who have no problem voting with them on anti-conservative issues.
You say you're a capitalist. Why should I believe you when the people you want us to support voted for the bailout, have voted for bigger and more oppressive government before the bailout came along, have lost an opportunity to take parliamentary measures insuring reading of the health legislation because they'd rather enjoy Thanksgiving Weekend at home, and in some cases have voted FOR such a intrusion on our civil rights? Why should I believe you?
Advocating is only one way to insure a policy is enforced. The other way is ambivalence. And that's what you display. Your continued support for anyone with an (R) after their name insures more of the same, until we will have lost it all. You may not believe in socialism, but you continue to rebuke anyone who's willing to fight. And that makes you a socialist by default. My charge is not baseless, and I am not lying when I say what I believe about you and your cohorts.
How's that comity and compassion workin’ out for ya?
I don’t really care if you personally believe me. I have a more than ample history of making my views known. Sensible FReepers will accept it for what it is. Or from a simple common sense viewpoint, I have too much to lose under socialism. I have a modest house, but it’s mine. I’ve been to Europe where people live like sardines, and it’s not for me. Keep socialism and don’t accuse me of it.
