"Very good comment, but I think you misunderstood my point." Let me try again: All men are created equal -- but all "cultures" are not...
Closer?

If, God forbid, Obama is re-elected in 2012, I see the US by 2016 looking much like East Germany complete with party informers.

You’re probably right that relatively few people will ever read this fine essay. However, I’ve done my part. I emailed the link to the article to my most well-connected, right-thinking friends. If they do the same, and I think they will, it could start a small brush fire of exposure.
To: PeaRidge
Surely you aren’t serious?

"To permit a large number of men to live free of charge is to encourage laziness and all the disorders that follow; it is to render the condition of the idler preferable to that of the man who works...." (qtd. by G. Himmelfarb, Roads to Modernity 179)." Excellent Post!

After all, what will they do with 50 million conservatives who refuse to cooperate?History teaches us that it won't be 50 million.
We'll be lucky if it's 50 000.

(They are willing to kill for socialism...but not to die for it.)
To: Yardstick
My philosophy on the two parties is this...throw them all in a sack...when you pull one out....no difference at all...that old saying”you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours” does away with any shred of decency/moral core/conscience or LOYALTY to ones country, obviously.
There surely must be a special place for them all....I feel that over the past elections, it's all been pretty much cut and dried before we even went to the polls....like maybe the so called “leaders” met in a back room and said, OK, it's our party's’ turn to win this time around...I guess at 76 yrs. of age, my cynicism has caught with me.

You were referring to your interpretation of my comment. I asked what that was.

“The difference between socialism and freedom is what we choose to make of ourselves from that time forward.”
The difference is that with socialism/communism it is what the state chooses to make of us,
Democratic Republic is what we choose to make of ourselves.

We keep on re-electing professional politicians. This is what they do. It's their nature.
My idea of term limits: ONE TERM. They'll just have to work for their money the rest of their lives, like everyone else.

I agree with you 100%....my daughter and I were just having that conversation yesterday ....she said she thought that is the only way to get rid of all the corruption in the state AND federal gov. The clowns in Congress now are sure a far cry from the brave and patriotic men who traveled to Washington, D.C. and stayed one term...I’ve heard some would fore go any salary, others would go for ONE DOLLAR.
