This is a good exmample of the poison that results from a mixture of poor education and things like the 17th amendment – which make us more of a democracy than a republic.

Its a vicious spiral: the more ignorant (less educated) people are, the less they’ll realize / care about (and thus enable) the destruction of their freedom, and the more democratic (i.e., majority makes law w/o constitutional constraints) we become the faster said destruction occurs.

I know some of the left wingers got hammered for their dissent, but not really that much. For my dissent I got labled a racist teabagging redneck.

Why can’t we get people to show ID and verify information to register to vote? Oh that’s right dead people, non citizens, mickey mouse, donald duck, and double dippers couldn’t vote for the Democrats.

You are right. So many canidates on both sides change when they go to Washington. They let the system change them. Recently Democrats have been going along with what ever Obama wants and not raising any issues. A lot of times the real person is there in their associations and past dealings. If you are not willing to listen to both sides and hear all of the facts to be informed, PLEASE STAY HOME ON ELECTION DAY. I’m referring to: www.howobamagotelected.com . Please watch the interviews with Obama supporters. They had no clue of anything and didn’t care.

I like your Al Gore example. He is the biggest liar of them all. He doesn’t give a hoot about the environment. He flies around on his private jet making more carbon emmissions than about 100 or so ordinary folks, and didn’t turn his lights off on the day we were supposed to turn everything off for an hour to “save energy”. He says whatever is convenient to get into office or get a nobel peace prize for junk science, according to a lot of experts.

People if you are going to believe everything you hear, especially now (the main stream media HATE republicans) you deserve what you get, but you take the rest of us with you. The media did not report on Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, Frank Marshall Davis (Obama’s childhood mentor & communist see my diary: http://www.redstate.com/lisainmd/2009/07/20/a-marxist-in-the-white-house-you-decide/).

He said he was going to “spread the wealth” and wanted nationalized health care, and supported cap in trade, and constitutional rights for foreign enemy combatants (terrorists).

I think that people really didn’t believe that when he got into office he was really going to do all of those things because after he got a look at everything, he would realize that those radical things would not make any sense. It makes sense to him because he and the other liberals want to keep us in our place and under control.

Well, most voters are Americans, anyway. And most elections are legal(see Minn.). But with 60 Senate seats and a 79 seat advantage in Congress for the Dems, it is hard to argue that the folks aren’t getting exactly what they deserve.

Franklin foreshadowed the end of the Republic, “When the people find they can vote themselves money….”

“The alternative is to lose the world’s greatest nation and to see our great experiment end in failure and that is just what the left wants.”
I submit to you that once you brush away all of the partisan bickering, on a multitude of issues, I believe that you will find that there are only a very few in congress that claim to be on the “right” that isn’t playing the same shell games as the ones that are on the left. We are being bombarded with issues that are important to be sure, but they only serve to keep us separated as a people. “A house divided against itself cannot stand”…against them! As long as we pay attention to the partisan games that they play we will not see their true intentions and then rise to oppose them. Let’s take West Virginia’s very own Republican Shelly Moore-Capito, Congresswoman of the 2nd District. She believes in health care reform and stands by her belief that a portion of this reform is a non-partisan issue. Where was it said or written by any of our Founding Fathers that any part of health care is a Federal government issue? NOWHERE! Not until the progressives of the early 1900s twisted the words “Promote the General Welfare” into a perversion of what our nation’s Founders intended. Now we drift about in this societal thinking that our government should supply us with health care and those that speak out against it are labeled hate mongers, racists, and bigots. This is all a debate for another time, I am simply stating here to not to always look to those on the obvious “left” when the ones that can do just as much damage are those that appear to be “right” (pun intended).

From my point of view congress, supreme court and president have already passed the line between a free society and opression. In 1776 taxes were less than 20% of income today for many people taxes are in excess of 50% and the average is 30%; yet we sit humbly by asking Fedzilla for another piece of bread. Until we have a real revolution at the ballot box the loss of our liberty is going to continue.
