Coveting your neighbors goods is selfish, and damning.

Send it via BCC so you don't get a lot of crap back.
Write it from your heart and keep in mind our Country depends on who is our next President.
I've done this and if I can change one person's mind or convince an undecided to vote McCain/Palin I feel I've contributed something to saving our Country.
ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND THAT PERSON IS YOU!!
In the course of his research for Solzhenitsyn: A Soul in Exile (Harper Collins), Joseph Pearch traveled to Moscow to interview the writer. The excerpt below is from that interview:
Solzhenitsyn: "In different places over the years I have had to prove that socialism, which to many western thinkers is a sort of kingdom of justice, was in fact full of coercion, of bureaucratic greed and corruption and avarice, and consistent within itself that socialism cannot be implemented without the aid of coercion. Communist propaganda would sometimes include statements such as, 'we include almost all the commandments of the Gospel in our ideology.' The difference is that the Gospel asks all this to be achieved through love, through self-limitation, but socialism only uses coercion. This is one point.
"Untouched by the breath of God, unrestricted by human conscience, both capitalism and socialism are repulsive."
I pray it doesn't come to that but after seeing a link to his comments on a 'Civilian National Security Force', I wonder. Your papers, please? Shudder.

Yeah they have. They are being sold socialism packaged as democracy with sharing and caring as a Kumbayah kind of mantra and folks are eating it up. I have heard every possible excuse from BO supporters I know who hate socialism but refuse to recognize it here. It is the very definition of irony. The Rats must be jubilant. Even if they don’t win here, they have successfully transformed their party from democracy-oriented to thinly veiled socialism, with the full nod of approval from their sheeple, all in just 20 or 30 years since the days of Reagan and his ‘Tear down that wall’ speech which started the end of the Cold War. The Rats have done little else for their faithful sheeple (where are the heady promises of the Clinton era?) since then but none of their faithful seem to care.
I’d rather be selfish than a thief, Obummer.
