    Socialism

    : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods (www.merriam-webster.com)


    Remind you of someone whose primary goal is to drive our government to take over industry after industry and "redistribute wealth"?

    Arghh! :mad:

  2. Al Sharpton said, "... When Obama was elected, I saw that as a clear vote for Socialism..."

    Unfortunatly, the greedy little bastards who voted for Obama don't realize that Socialism ultimately results in LESS OF EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY.... except government, of course.

  5. Although, the use of the term "conservative" to describe the tea party is a bit of a misnomer. The tea party has just as many 'left' positions as it does 'right'. The public has been so dumbed down so as to believe that anyone who is for lower or flatter taxation is "conservative" when in reality that's a gross over-generalization. Much of the tea party platform is traditonally very left.

    Obama and the Seven Dorks


    Remember the November Election, and the words of Thomas Jefferson: "A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have."

  7. Au contrarie, the new revolution will be won with video. These govt leeches have no where to hide anymore. They cant act or say anything without being caught on somebodies screen nowadays. And thats fine with me. Hold the entitlement parasites accountable and remind them that public office is not a career...it is an honor.

    How can anyone prove that TJ didn't say it? Jefferson said millions of smart things and has been quoted ad nauseam. But, let's not split hairs... So, it was, among others, Gerald Ford who said it in 1974. Who cares? The point of that post was the funny poster, right? :)

    Thomas Jefferson On Today's Problems:

    "A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."

    "Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition."

    "Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories."
