The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion." Edmund Burke This delusion Burke spoke of has been the historically dominant theme of mankind throughout the ages: if there's a problem, government will fix it. Freedom has been the rare exception. Even now, although it is clear through history up to the present that socialism is an utter failure and disaster, nevertheless, societies, including American society, continue to gravitate toward it.
Why? Why would people in the freest country in the world throw away what others (immigrants and patriots) have lost their lives to have here? Well, Ive come across a couple videos of Milton Friedman which I think shed light on this question and, IMO, well worth the time to listen. Links below.

(@ 17:00 We didnt live in a paradise, but theres no period in human history when the ordinary man had as great an improvement in his lot in life as in the 19th century in the United States when the government was of trivial importance.
@20:22 The maintenance of a free society is a very difficult and complicated thing and it requires a self-denying ordinance of the most extreme kind. It requires a willingness to put up with temporary evils on the basis of the subtle and sophisticated understanding that if you step in to try to do something about them youll make matters worse.

Send the RNC a loud message, change your party affiliation NOW, regardless of how you vote in NOV. They need to know we are fed up with their failures. Send a copy of your revised registration form to the RNC and tell them NOT ROMNEY.
Florida voters can change registration here => http://election.dos.state.fl.us/voter-registration/voter-reg.shtml#voterApp

How many times must Jim make it clear that Free Republic is not supporting Romney?
Free Republic is a privately owned, independent site, solely funded by freely given donations from its membership. "Free speech" is at the discretion and the discrimination of its proprietor, so long as the "free speech" keeps within the principles of the foundations of Free Republic: God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty Conservatism!
FWIW, you're right, that the Marxist has a much more evil background than Romney, but their policies and positions are identical and Romney, if elected, will be the enemy within. Both are sociopathic liars.
Only God can help us. Pray non stop.
