The Marxists and Socialists which have burrowed deep into our schools ensure more generations of dumbed down voters who have been taught little about the founders who established this wonderful country. Take a look at today's voters and you will see what I mean -- a lying traitor like John F'n Kerry is able to garner 49% of the vote...
"To ignore this would be folly."
And to accord it more attention than it deserves would be far bigger folly...as do various American hack politicians and elitists in black robes.
"The slow boil of Canada's citizens into slavery should send shivers down your spine."
Canada is a sovereign nation. They can do what they want. What should send shivers down your spine is the NWO concept of the SPP/NAU. How would you like the notion of no sovereignty, no borders, and a conjoined Canada, Mexico and the United States? As you say, "The heat has been turned up of late." Indeed it has.
"I would take a moderate over a marxist any day of the week."
You settle too easily; a "moderate" can't make up his mind and therefore stands for nothing. Generations of following the "least worse" approach is what has brought us to our present sad dilemma. By the way, McCain is no "moderate" should you be laboring under that illusion. No, we can no longer pretend there are merely a few shades of difference--it's far more dramatic than that.
"There are crooks in our own party that need to be purged..."
The real crooks, sooner or later, are always caught. They're not the ones I worry about. I am far more concerned about two-faced weasels like McCain who, once in office, will attempt to lead the United States in a direction no true conservative patriot could possibly stomach.
"...but we don't have to throw the baby out with the bath water."
We do once the baby is no longer sustainable.
Representative government? Once long ago, but mostly a memory today.
