"Tim" wrote in message ... So very... boring You know, I don't think any of us mere mortals can understand the rigors of running for a political national office, especially for the POTUS. Given the countless number of speeches, rallies, questions, travel, etc., over such a long period of time, I can forgive a few gaffes or story inconsistencies from both sides. (although I *do* think I'd remember being shot at upon arrival at an airport). What concerns me more than anything else ... more than the individuals running and screw ups they may make in the process .... is the slow but sure progress being made to transform this country from a free, democratic republic to democratic socialism. The roots of this movement can be traced back to people like Eugene Debs http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h801.html and continues today, growing strength in numbers. The modern day group, "Democratic Socialists of America" hosts a number of similar organizations with more sanitized names, like the "Progressive Caucus" with over 60 Congressional Democrats or other major political figures, including notables such as Nancy Pelosi and Jesse Jackson. http://www.tysknews.com/Depts/gov_ph...socialists.htm I believe we should really stop and think before we continue down this path to be sure it's what we want or need. If we choose to go this way, it will be forever the end of the nation that our forefathers envisioned. Eisboch Debs had nothing to do with this country's slide into the toilet. If you want to blame anything, blame greed, especially the greed of the 1980s. There's nothing in the Declaration or Constitution that says we all exist for "the corporation" or its "shareholders," but that seems to be the mentality these days. |
