What Can My Good Friends At DU Do With This Rant?
I was going to answer this, but thought it would be fun to see what you all can do first:

...to lull you to sleep and allow the Statists of the Left to dominate the government.

The divide between Left and Right is between Statism and individual freedom and responsibility. Those who would empower the government surrender other's rights until no rights remain that have not been surrendered to the State. Whatever the people might empower the government to do to the most powerless scum among us, they would empower the government to do, and it is the nature of government to seek to expand that power so that it may be exerted over any or all of us. That is the essence of fascism and nazism--of socialism and communism, to inexorably proceed toward totalitarianism of the State--sometimes in fits and starts--sometimes almost imperceptably from one generation to the next, but make no mistake about it, the incremental expansion of State power is what the Left is all about, whether evolutionary or revolutionary.

But America was born different in the spilt patriotic blood of visionary people--unique among the nations--in that We the People established LIMITED government which succeeding generations have incrementally expanded to the vast government bureaucracy that is the U.S. government of today.

Now, in two more weeks, we as a people will decide whether we shall become SOCIALISTS like Europe or remain the bastion of freedom, free enterprise and liberty which our forefather's gave us for our legacy.

Security is an illusion, and promises of security without great sacrifices are lies. The best defense is a great offense. Let freedom ring throughout the land...

Vote for Kerry, and you are voting to re-make the United States all the more into the dark or controlled images of socialist France or Germany--with unemployment hovering up around 10%.

Vote for Bush, and you are voting to keep the lamps of liberty trimmed and burning--to expand the realm of free people around this world--and for full employment curerntly at about 5.5%.

Vote for anyone else for President, and you are voting for a foregone loser, but, hey, that's your right.

This is really all over the place!

...to lull you to sleep and allow the Statists of the Left to dominate the government. ...but make no mistake about it, the incremental expansion of State power is what the Left is all about, whether evolutionary or revolutionary. So they would prefer the Fundamentalists of the Right dominate the government? Wake up! They already are! Yeah, they've done a great job with that "reduced, limited government" idea that's so eloquently stated in their ideology. </sarcasm>

See the deficit, war costs, rising unemployment, rising poverty, health care costs etcetera, etcetera. Oh, but I forget; the Fundies think that the unemployed and the homeless are just stupid. Theirs is a legacy of a failed education system. Well, speaking of the education system, who wants to fund that? Not the fundies, no siree. Theirs is the opinion that all children should be schooled in a church school or at home thus we can just cut public education right out of the budget!!

Those who would empower the government surrender other's rights until no rights remain that have not been surrendered to the State. Oh right, like the right for a woman to choose what to do with her body, right? Hmmm.

But America was born different in the split patriotic blood of visionary people--unique among the nations--in that We the People established LIMITED government which succeeding generations have incrementally expanded to the vast government bureaucracy that is the U.S. government of today. Yeah, we see starving people living on the streets and kids with lousy educations and minority groups who have just as much blood, sweat, and tears in the founding of this country and, horror of horrors, we want to HELP THEM and we think it not out of line to establish a means of delivery, via the government, for said help. What bleeding heart pinko commie bastards we are.

Now, in two more weeks, we as a people will decide whether we shall become SOCIALISTS like Europe or remain the bastion of freedom, free enterprise and liberty which our forefather's gave us for our legacy. Atta way to draw that white, hot line. Sounds vaguely familiar. Do these dipshits have anything original to say? Can't they make something up instead of borrowing from the Rove handbook?

Security is an illusion, and promises of security without great sacrifices are lies. The best defense is a great offense. Let freedom ring throughout the land... :puke:

Vote for Kerry, and you are voting to re-make the United States all the more into the dark or controlled images of socialist France or Germany--with unemployment hovering up around 10%.

Vote for Bush, and you are voting to keep the lamps of liberty trimmed and burning--to expand the realm of free people around this world--and for full employment currently at about 5.5%.
Aaah, so we get to the heart of the issue. This person is some economist, libertarian asswipe who sees all people as numbers on a page. My simple response: life is not numbers on a page! Life is not "them and us". Life is not as easily summed up as your simple, little mind would like for it to be. What you really want is for a complete break up of the United States because you're so pissed of that the federal government takes that much from your paycheck to, let me guess, "fund welfare mothers who refuse to work, are addicted to crack and pump out babies." or something to that affect. Go work to that end and quit hiding behind these fascists who don't give two shits about "trimming the government bureaucracy" and "spreading freedom throughout the land".

Vote for anyone else for President, and you are voting for a foregone loser, but, hey, that's your right. You're a loser.

Can I ask who is the author? I hope not a family member because I don't mean to offend.

Good luck! :thumbsup:
