From a column by Robert Tracinski, "20 Questions for Your
Congressman",
(http://www.jewishworldreview.com/080...i081109.php3):
"Thomas Jefferson said, 'A wise and frugal government which shall
restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them
otherwise 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.' Notice what is not on
his list: government-provided housing, or government-provided food, or
government-provided health care. And Jefferson's views on the role of
government were widely shared by America's Founding Fathers. So my
question is: Please explain where you disagree with the vision of our
Founding Fathers, and why."
You have to go nuts, shout and disrupt, and not let anyone answer you.
That's what the conservative nutjobs are doing. I remember when Newt
Gingrich came up with that idiotic "contract with America". The people
who rallied against it were branded by the conservatives as unpatriotic,
un-American, communists, etc. Now that the conservatives are being loud,
disrupted and generally making fools of themselves at town hall
meetings, they are patriots!
Sorry Loogie, but you need to turn on the tube and watch something
besides GE television (MSNBC)... I just watched a straight hour of town
hall with Specter and 25 random questioners. It was smooth, cordial, and
informative.. One thing I learned is very few folks out there really
support this bill. The only bullying and beating so far has been union
thugs beating a black man. Here's another hint about "organization". Look
at the signs the folks are holding. Pro health care, pro printed, single
phrase, mass printed and produced signs, opponents, hand made, crayon or
marker on cardboard.. Do a google on the signs and get back with me. No
republicans have been "bussed" in, unions have, no opponents have held up
german symbols, this is a liberal thing and the ones recently have been
debunked. There was a guy yesterday with a Obama Hitler sign at a rally.
He carried it around parading for the cameras, at the end of the day he
was seen handing out pro union, pro health care pamphlets. He was a
plant.
Yes, I know. Liberal MUST = bad
Conservative MUST = good.
No necessarily, though it's hard to find a liberal in favor of less
government.
Liberals are still like tyrants; they want to control every aspect of our
lives through government fiat. True conservatives want government to butt
out.
