"The printing presses will roll, and inflation will 'cure' the problem, until we all end up on a soup line, imho."

That's Stage I; in Stage II, we're IN the soup pot.

Socialism = Cannibalism + Pensions. ;^)

I agree with you....also, live-ins being arrested for "adultery" would mean that the government is in the private lives of people... arresting you for living with someone. the government should leave people's private lives alone, and let the couple deal with the consequences, as long as it doesn't include abortion, which would be murder and no longer just a personal issue.

Ah yes, the Commerce Clause conservatives, who believe in a living, breathing Constitution.

This place has precious few conservatives for a "conservative" website. If you subtract the Clinton/Democrat haters and the "Republicans no matter what" from the total, very few are left.

Then subtract the libertarians, (which is what conservatives used to be) and even fewer are left.

You are generalizing women! not all women are stupid and just vote for the better-looking candidate! and they have the right to vote for whoever the want to- just because they don't always vote the way you do doesnt mean they shouldnt be voting! i know so many women who are very smart, perceptive and conservative, who vote what they believe.

The record and evidence is in, a majority of women vote democrat, meaning that a majority of women are socialists. I would gladly give up my ability to vote conservative and leave that to the men, to insure that the majority of my sex did not have the ability to vote democrat.

That is sure to offend some conservative women, and is wishful thinking on my part as a way to defeat socialism in America, but it would certainly go a huge way in getting liberal/socialist scum out of our lives. I would certainly be willing to make the sacrifice to get liberal pigs down the road to oblivion.

I get sick of libertarians sucking the teat of big government and complaining about it.

I never saw it happen. But the truth never was one of your strong points. Come to think of it, you have no strong points.

Interesting thread.

"You just did, - 'belabor' the point: Odd. I would have imagined that you'd instantly understand and admit that All transfer payments are theft. Including Socialist Security."

"Its a given. -- We all know that. There is no need to 'admit' it, unless some twit is trying to belabor the point. Please, tell me you understand the above. -- But if you can't, I give up, and you can have the last word of this really amusing exchange."

Young people are continually coming to free Republic, they are learning, as we are, while we may be becoming bored and frustrated by the things we know and learn here, it is necessary for the discussions to continue, don't you think?

There's the big picture and there's the details, both are pertinent. Excessive exaggeration is the way of today (must have learned it from the news medias),funny how we blend in scarcasm, which minus facial expression, voice tone, and body language is often misinterperted. It more frequently starts a defensive battle than it is true information. Oh well, that is how it is.

We know what we know, and we do not know, what we do not know, sorta like the stock market is ... lots of opinions and most of them have a selfish agenda. We are truly in trouble in the United States. Socialism does not work ... it is there to see around the world, yet we seem to blightly be skipping down the same path. Horrors!

As long as we spend hours with our schools teaching it to the students, having the T V programs of every sort demonstrating it, the news medias preaching it and the "bad news" of the day filtered through it's skewed view, ridiculing clear reason, we don't have a snowballs chance in hell of turning around on the path we are on now.

Sad! History has repeatedly demonstrated that change is constant. When societies reached peaks of knowledge and quality of life ... what do they do then ... gradually start screwing it up.

We are on the the roller coaster ... and it is careening down ... hopefully it is one of the lesser falls ...; however, let's teach our children and grandchildren what we can, while we can. MO

yes, but it is a women's right to vote whichever way she wants to, just like men. to deny a woman this right would be horrible. you can't do something like that to further one political party, even if it is conservative. i think i would rather have a conservative vs. liberal world than women not being able to vote.

You may give up your own rights, but the rights of others are not violable because of it.

Hey, I have an even better idea! Why go after a simple majority when you can knock out an overwhelming majority in one fell swoop? Since 90% of blacks vote Democrat, meaning that a majority of blacks are socialists (according to your own definition applied to women), you'll knock an even greater number of socialists out of the voting pool if you deprive them of their Constitutional rights. I'm only trying to help you better achieve your goal, you know, go about it more efficiently. Or better yet, just to be sure, why don't we only allow white men to vote? Knock both women and blacks out of the political process, then you'll really be getting back to the original Constitution. Then you won't have to win the war of ideas.

I'm operating on the assumption she read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" in highschool.

Is it too big an assumption?

I've seen that poster make comments like that before. I think it is serious (I'm not so sure on its gender - it makes funny statements if it is female).
