Liberal 'base' emboldens Republicans

Democrats no longer see the democrats as champions of middle-class aspirations and nothing matters more right now than safety and the survival of our country. The democratic party is the party of pornography, crime, taxes and appeasement.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Are you proposing that we raid all communes and force them to live an individual life style?

[butternut_squash_bisque]

Wrong. islam is the enemy of Western Civilization.

You can deny that all you want, F. History will show that as fact in coming years. The so-called radicals are merely the visible tip of the iceberg. So-called 'peaceful muslims' are simply afraid to stand-up and voice their opinion. Their trash manual of death, the unholy koran/curan or whatever, clearly states what the horror of islam, is really all about.

If you're unable to identify the enemy, you're going to lose this war.

Nazism and communism theology use murder and subjugation as routine means of population control; history validates that fact.

Indonesia is a sewer and will explode once the murderous muslim-islamic-arabs gain complete control and begin exercising their murderous and subjugational controls over the entire population. Watch for it. Pol Pot's 'killing fields' will pale in comparison to what's coming.

As opposed to what we have now, which is raiding all individuals, and forcing them to live a communal lifestyle? Why, yes, of course I am, lol.

[TASMANIANRED]

Essentially he is saying that Democrats need to flap their jaws and do nothing.

[Gritty]

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

So you raid all individuals and force them to live a communal lifestyle?

[RegulatorCountry]

"So you raid all individuals and force them to live a communal lifestyle?"

If a group of people want to freely associate and live a communal life, without reaching into my pocket to do so, that is perfectly acceptable to me, so long as I am not forced to participate.

[hinckley buzzard]

With the Dem moonbats kicking Joe Lieberman out of the party, they also kicked the rest of the moderate Dems out with him.

We can only hope and pray. Ironically, the nation's future may depend on the integrity of disaffected 'rats, while disaffected pubbies stay home in a snit.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Then could we say that communism is perfectly acceptable to you, absent murder and subjugation?

In other words as long as they don't force people in it or force people to stay in it again their will then you accept it?

[Reagan Man]

>>>>After all, the Democratic Party as a whole is more centrist than its leftist activists. For example, a 2005 Penn, Schoen and Berland poll shows that only 27 percent of registered Democrats describe themselves as “liberal,” while almost twice as many — 53 percent — consider themselves “moderate.” (The remainder are “conservative.”) These centrist folks, the weight of the party, need to become its dominant voice again.

53% of Dems are centrists. I don't buy that junk. Just look at how many votes Kerry received in 2004. Polls that ask questions about ones self-professed political ideology are ususally well off the mark. I'd say the vast majority of Democrats are liberal, with at least a 1/4 being ultra liberal. I'd be surprised if 10% of Dems fall into the catagory of strict conservative standards. 5% sounds more reasonable.

[RegulatorCountry]

Communism is not perfectly acceptable to ME. If other people wish to freely associate and live a communal life, without forcing me to participate, either personally or monetarily, then that is their choice and it does not affect me. But, of course, Communism in practice is the antithesis of free association, isn't it?

Now, on to Nazism. How does your logic exercise hold up in this instance?

[hinckley buzzard]

If you're unable to identify the enemy, you're going to lose this war

This is an insight that needs to be announced loudly and clearly and repeatedly. To take it a step further, if you are politically afraid to name the enemy publicly, even if you know who it is, you stand to lose this war. The people won't support a war against an abstraction (as George Bush is learning, belatedly and to his dismay.)

[Michael.SF.]

We are not at war with Islam, only the radical murdering terrorists,

Those members of Islam who remain silent in their opposition are in essence implying their support of those who actually do the killing.

You are giving far too much credit to too many who are guilty in some forms.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Perfectly.

If someone wants to not associate with people of other ethnic backgrounds that is his or her business. If they want to marry only with in a very small gene pool I will not force them to do otherwise.

How would their doing that effect you?

[butternut_squash_bisque]

Great cartoon, G! Good catch!!

[RegulatorCountry]

"How would their doing that effect you?"

Now we're getting somewhere. The notion that murder and subjugation, in Nazism and Communism, were somehow the purview of an isolated set of fanatics is the falsehood in the original analogy. Murder and subjugation, when directed at me, will affect me greatly, perhaps to the point that there would be no "me" to engage in tit-for-tat rationalizations on internet message boards.

And now, let's go full circle, back to Islam, shall we?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Murder and subjugation, when directed at me, will affect me greatly,

Granted but we are talking absent those things.

And yes there are some groups that absent those things do follow those philosphies.

How do they effect you?

[MaineVoter2002]

What republicans in secure states should do is adopt a republican candidate in a vulnerable state and support the candidate in some way whether it's posting banners in their sigs, posting in non-republican forums or giving financial support.

Here in Maine our ""republican"" senator (yes she deserves 2 sets of quotation marks) is up for re-election but is secure so Im focusing on the governor race and also supporting the candidate running against Tom Allen.

But if your state is secure this election year there are other republican candidates in other states that could use your support.
