Granted the Islamic fundamentalists are going to kill some Americans and make us generally miserable. But in the big picture, we are going to eventually do whatever it takes to end their threat. Jihad is not going to end America or our freedoms. Socialism will; and soon. Sometime within the next two decades the United States will be economically and financially bankrupt thanks to socialism. Our government will collapse and we will fragment into many smaller nation states, republics and God knows what else.
We should focus on defeating the Democratic Party. It is the source of evil in the world that is most likely to do us in. When the US falls, is there anybody on this site that believes it will be the Jihad of Islamic Fundamentalism that will bring us down. Mr. Bush is satisfactorily dealing with the War on Terrorism. I suggest we applaud and let him continue getting on with it. But his approach to the domestic agenda is a loser and he needs all the help and attention we can muster. We need to get the attention of the Republican leadership. They need to understand our views. And they need to learn that we mean business. As long as they listen to the pied pipers in the media, they are leading the party down the primrose path. And our country continues unabated on the road to tyranny and decline.
Political Tofflerism.
I agree, the problem is the majority of the American people have bought into this socialism thing to one degree or another.
They may not want it all, but they want some of it...whether it's education, health care, retirement, disability insurance....they think the Federal government ought to do it, and if the GOP tries to cut the funds they are seen as "mean-spirited".
Granted, the government should be moving away from, not towards, socialism, but the problem (IMO) is not convincing the GOP leadership of that, it's convincing the American people of it.
How are we going to do that? What do you suggest?
