PRUDEN: Day of reckoning for the GOP

OPINION/ANALYSIS: Elephants are supposed to have long memories, but not all do. The royal household in Thailand even assembles its elephants once a year so a holy man can preach an annual sermon to the gentle beasts, urging them to mind their manners in the presence of the king. As eloquent as the homily may be, it has to be repeated the following year. Our own royal elephant needs a frequent… » Full Story on Washington Times

I'll let you know tomorrow how tasty the RINO platter was.

The choice is quite clear:
Be a conservative (republican or independent if you desire, but stand up for the US Constitution, Freedom and Liberty, opposed to totalitarianism, socialism, all brought to you by Marxist Socialists many of which are wearing the Democrat Party armor.

The battle lines have been drawn in a very distinct manner. Socialism or Freedom? It is your choice, maybe. It is about to be FORCED on you. Stand up know while it is still legal and you have the ability to speak out.

SOCIALISM IS STATE SLAVERY
MARXISTS ARE CORRUPT
THE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS PAY THE PRICE
All costs are added to the prices paid for goods and services.

The Marxists Socialists in the US have been exposed. Stand up now and stop the totalitarian attempts to control your life from cradle to grave. It's not too late.

Part One
Starstream,

You are either willfully ignorant or you seem to prefer a world where huge corporations gouge the public and drive them to poverty. Take a realistic look at the life insurance industry profits soar while people die. Remember good old free enterprise capitalism before government stepped in? Children working 12 or more hour days 6 or 7 days a week. Tainted food being sold by large corporations and killing people. Companies polluting the air, water and land and killing people-Remember Dow Chmicals killing tens of thousands in Bhopal, remember the Cuyahoga RIVER burning because of pollution.

Since the Civil War the US has not been a true "free market" economy-the railroads would not have existed without government. The interstate highways and airports would not exist without government. Large corporations could not have existed without US government (US Post Office and Rights of way for telegraph, telephone and electricity.) You live in a free market fantasy learn economics and history then argue with me.

And when the GOP fails miserably today, as it has the last 9 years, will they finally give it up and try working for the people?

I apologize for the double posting above.

One last point. You know NOTHING of socialism. First President Obama is in NO WAY a socialist. I know socialists and he is not one. The only economic freedom he is threatening is the Health Insurance Industry's freedom to kill people for money.

Secondly, Socialism is an economic system not a political system. There are plenty socialist countries compared to the US that are full fledged Democracies-Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Japan. I could go on but even you must be bright enough to get the picture.

17) You have to believe that biology teachers are corrupting the morals of

19) You have to believe that even though governments have supported the arts for 5000 years and that most of the great works of Renaissance art were paid for by governments, our government should shun any such support. After all, the rich can afford to buy their own and the poor don't need any.

20) You have to believe that the lumber from the last one percent of old
growth U.S. forests is well worth the destruction of those forests and the
extinction of the several species of plants and animals in them because it
allows logging companies to add to their profit margin.

Liberals want the government to stay out of a woman's uterus but yet have to pay for her abortion.

Liberals want the government to stay out of the bedroom but yet they want the government to rummage through everyone's pocket and tell them where to set the thermostat.
