They call themselves Democrates becauase they are always misrepresenting who they are and what they really want.

The so-called democrat believes in nothing save an oligarchy of the politically correct, anointed minority.

If McCain uses it, I'll volunteer for him.

November 24, 2006 thequietconservative.com column archive “The Third Political Party” Had the transcript where Howard Dean was asked by Russert about Bernie Sanders being a socialist. He was uncomfortable and said Bernie voted with the Dems 98% of the time so it was just a matter of semantics.
Today they control 1/2 of the House Committees. Same web site current column “While You Were Sleeping”

And while the G.O.P. has held the White House for 28 of the last 40(20 of the last 28) years they have shown no discerning intent to stop the onslaught of socialism...In point of fact they have esasperated the slide to socialism equally with their co conspirators of the imaginary different stripe. Just what has conservatism actually been able to conserve during this time under either party?

The U.S. Constitution???....Ha.

" for 28 of the last 40(20 of the last 28) years they have shown no discerning intent to stop the onslaught of socialism.."

Nor identify the dirty commies as such.

Limbaugh has finally started using the label, though hesitantly.

It was conventional wisdom, as propagandized by the socialist MSM, that a correct label was inciteful, too harsh, inflamatory, and, if used too often, diluted the impact.

Note the entire leftist educational emphasis against attaching a "label" on anything. A "label" is an adjective. If appropriate, they are perfectly good descriptive modifyers. Adjectives and descriptive nouns are part of language.

Really, what it comes down to is the American people, specifically, patriots that love this nation and the documents it was founded on.

Yes, it's all slipping away, and it's slipping away by design and on purpose, and has been doing so for quite some time now. It's just becoming clearer and more obvious than ever before to anyone not sleepwalking through life. An Obeymao White House will just hurry it along that much faster. A McCain White House won't stop it from happening, but will buy us more time than an Obeymao White House would. The real question is, what is the tipping point? When will the American citizenry, if ever, take a stand? At what point do we actively resist the purposefully orchestrated slide into full blown communism? When they come for our guns? When they outlaw Christianity? When they socialize everything under the sun? It's like 30% of this nation sees it happening and is horrified, and 30% want it to happen and are overjoyed, and the other 40% doesn't care one way or the other. When is enough, enough?

The founding fathers gave us the right to bear arms for a reason. They knew that governments, by their very nature, are tyrannical, and gave us the right to stop that from happening if we ever saw it happening, but I'm afraid that America is too apathetic to care until it will be too late. All the soldiers in American history that fought and died, or were wounded in battle, will have wasted all their effort and sacrifice if we allow this nation to become what the DemonRats want it to become. It's a crying shame.

Don’t forget that it was Bush’s dad who first directed the Interior Department to refuse to grant any drilling leases offshore, thereby preventing any exploration or drilling offshore. This directive in turn was renewed by Clinton and then by Bush Jr., who has yet to rescind it. The Republicans have been willing players in this whole scandal.

The official name of East Germany....

German DEMOCRATIC Republic

The official name of North Korea......

Korean DEMOCRATIC Republic.

Both communist hellholes, just like Amerika will be with Barry Hussein and his fellow congressional lefties in charge.

My personal experience has shown me that, individually, leftists are cowards. They find strength only in groups and through our apathy.

When conservatives show up at local government meetings and confront them they shut-up and crawl away.

"Should the people of the United States own refineries? Maybe so. Frankly, I think that's a good idea. Then we could control the amount of refined product much more capably that gets out on the market..." Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) 18 June Press Conference with Democratic leadership.

The operative word in the above paragraph is "control". That's what the Democrats are all about.

<> Why do we call them Republicans? Most people in Elected Office today, I simply call POLITICAL HACKS. Most in either Party no longer represent the people from thier Districts but merely represent themselves and their current Party Ideology or Strategy.

Because there's no printable translation for "@#%@^&!*(@&%!"?

Yes, it's all slipping away, and it's slipping away by design and on purpose, and has been doing so for quite some time now.

And that is a factual truth. The other part of that is, we are responsible for letting it happen. We elected in representatives that didn't have the balls to complete their sworn duty to the country. WE elected candidates and 'settled' with them (RINO). And we will again this election settle for what we get to elect.

Less than a month ago we had a new addition to the family. I became a Great Auntie. I went to visit my nephew and his wife and baby. As I held that little baby at 9 days old and gazed down into baby blue eyes I was deeply saddened. I held my tongue and thoughts at the time. This is not the America I wanted for him. I am sad to think what his future holds.

I started a journal about a great country he had been born into, but at the time was about to embark on a very dark journey. It is a bit of time capsule and will be tucked away in a fireproof box for when he becomes a young man. Inside that box along with the journal over the years of his life will be a few books that I think may be banned, some essays, and a copy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. He will know the truth of this Nation even as the socialists/fascists/islamists manipulate the history or even destroy it.

You see I don't only see the danger of Obama and his ilk, but with them comes the terror that is islam. It is bad now, we see the train and it is barreling at us at light speed. We are tied to the tracks.

Speaking with an old woman yesterday, she literally asked, "Where are we to go? Where are freemen to go to live?" A very, very profound question for she recognizes it is not here.
