And he's been a Republican since he was 6 and wrote a letter to the editor of our local paper, which prompted the John Birch Society to offer him membership.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-31238590580440828832008-02-27T09:34:00.000-05:002008-02-27T09:34:00.000-05:00Given the presence of Ted Stevens, Arlen Spector, ...Given the presence of Ted Stevens, Arlen Spector, Orrin Hatch, and the rest of the Republican Senatorial hacks, there is a real fear that Republicans will combine with McCain to "get things done," which means expansion of the welfare state. <BR/><BR/>Evidence for this is how the Republican Congress passed the Medicare drug expansion, steel tariffs, Patriot Act, and were childlike in their refusal to question or challenge the entrance into and conduct of the war. <BR/><BR/>They seem to show some spine when facing a Democratic President.

Bush II failed in every area of governance: liberty, economy, and foreign policy. <BR/><BR/>One reason for this is likely that too many of these people think that America is great because people work together in national projects that involve government coercion. <BR/><BR/>It takes someone like Reagan to recognize the value of liberty and economic freedom, not worship at the alter of military service. <BR/><BR/>A second reason probably relates to the fact that the military doesn't emphasize liberty (with good reason given the need for tight coordination), but this is precisely what this country is about.The Objectivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416501145750028695noreply@blogger.com
