2. About the Calendar

keeping the level of discourse high, as always. And, using our tax dollars.

The Republican Party became the most effective political organization in the history of the world in advancing the cause of freedom by staying true to its founding principles. The mission that President Lincoln described for our party, “to lift the artificial weights from all shoulders and clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all,” remains our central focus today.

We started our party with the express intent of protecting the American people from the Democrats’ pro-slavery policies that expressly made people inferior to the state. Today, the animating spirit of the Republican Party is exactly the same as it was then: free people, free minds, free markets, free expression, and unlimited individual opportunity.

Leading the organized opposition to these ideas 150 years ago, just as today, was the Democratic Party. Then, just as now, their hallmarks were politically correct speech; a preference for government control over individual initiative (and of course slavery was the most extreme form of government control over the individual); and an insistence on seeing people as members of groups rather than as individuals.

BTW- today's "PC" is that you can't say anything negative against Bush, if you do you hate 'Murka, wants the troops to die, and are a traitor to the unseen enemies that he is protecting us from*

*please ignore 2004 being the worst year of terrorism ever. Thank you.
