"Those still outside the system were promised entry through a War on Poverty and Civil Rights. If Right-Wingers refer to the Old Order as ‘socialist,’ then we need more not less ‘socialism". Oh yes indeed, that Marxist socialism has been so good for the US, as well as the rest of the world. Marxism is the slow road to suicide, as history is loaded with examples, That is unless fiscal collapse is your goal (a Fox Priven fan maybe?)The fact remains that this perceived prosperity has been made available through borrowing from our children and grandchildren, selling ourselves and our posterity to our enemies, and destroying any incentive people may have to better themselves. If we ain't murdering our posterity outright we steal from them...

I take it we do not have enough stupid people in North Carolina already. We must utilize the taxpayer funded education system to fabricate more.

She outflanked the left (of both parties) by being the sacrificial lamb for the sake of her state, knowing full well it could destroy her politically.. To try and spin this act of statesmanship into a disqualifier is a rather sad reflection on your argument against her.

I am a registered independent who will vote for Palin if given the opportunity.

It would have been far better to waste Alaska's resources on the lawyer induced feeding frenzy. Got to put politics above the welfare of the state to qualify for president these days,. democrat or republican...

Does the oil on government property not belong to the people of said state? Do you suggest this oil on public land be given away to anyone who can pump it out of the ground? It does not violate free market principles to demand payment for minerals mined on your property.

You got a beef with white people, or is it Christians?

So if I understand your argument correctly, since the republicans acted like socialist idiots, that somehow justifies the idiotic actions of the current congress?

Leave it to a Marxist hack to re-invent history (or attempt to). Mr. Cromwell fought on the side of the Roundheads in the English civil war, hardly a position a dictator would choose. I suppose you would have sided with the Royalist?

Wake up dude, Our current government has spent more dollars in the past 2 years than there have been minutes since Jesus Christ walked this earth. And NONE of it can be correctly blamed on Bush/ Cheney, no matter how far one stretches the truth.
