Insztead of claiming that the USA and its government, was as it is in your imaginings,or hopes and dreams, read what it was really like,in the words of contemporanious discolurseds. Didx you knolw, for sake of arguesment, that Noah Wwesbstedr, in his later years, complained vocifolrfously, that the government (we're talking 1800 , here ! )wasn't what it was supposed to be (Federalist / free / Constitutional Representative REPUBLIC ), and had he known, would have fought to keep us a COLONY !
Fringers can grumble all they cared to, make rash, unsupportabled statements here, live in their own dream worlds ; however, the alternatives offered by them, are far worse and utterly unelectable, than anything elses that is already out there. As for Conservatives " thought " , what somed people here, claim as Conservative,just isn't. Neither, for that matter, is this nation's population, all that Colnservatived; leastwise, what many profess it to be on this forum.
Ah, you mean those who support policies like a brand new prescription drug vote-buying scheme that will cost over $300 billion, minimum.
Can you imagine? We're in a wartime deficit, and some here support an open-ended Great Society type program, and have the nerve to call themselves "Conservative."
The funny thing is, these "conservatives" always ignore the fact that the Democrats will always outpander them.
I caught the bottom-line however. We should all roll over and continue to take it because our bad guys aren't quite as bad as their bad guys. I'm glad there wasn't too many of your type running around in 1776 when one of the reasons we started a revolution was a 5% tax rate.
We all worked every day from New Years until about now (end of June) to pay for politician's careers and the useless whiners that prop them up. I've listened to you "we have to and voted with you "shut up and take it" people for too many years now. From now on anyone who takes my money without asking or fiddles with our constitution despite the fact that they swear to God to protect it is a useless POS that WON'T
get my support.
