Anti-American/Unpatriotic

[scottw]

"For me it's simple..black and white some would say, I consider anyone who demonstrates a political ideaology that more closely resembles Marx and Mao than that of Madison and Adams to be at their core Unpatriotic and Anti-American

one of our two predominant parties is run and funded by folks that would love to shove Marxism down our throats and fundamentally change this country, they'd prefer to rip up our founding documents and create their own new and improved version of the Communist Manifesto, this time it will work because it will be better funded and smarter, more "ENLIGHTENED" folks will be implementing it .."

OK Dad, there they are, I was pretty clear in the first paragraph...Marx/Mao

second...party run and funded(I'm adding this because I clarified later- George Soros et.al) by folks who would love to shove Marxism...

never said all dem's are Marxists...got it? still love ya...

Spence, I think Joe Lienerman might strongly disagree that the party has now swerved way left...

look, this is a political forum right? it would be kinda boring if we all agreed on everyhting and the Enlightened among us wouldn't get to excercise the muscle of their giant brains by pummeling a know- nothing like me into submission right? think of me as your personal trainer for your brain...I feel bad for some of you with all of that anger and frustration built up inside, didn't take much to poke the volcano..

I've stated that I believe that Marxism and the slavery to a government that it requires is baaaaaaad....

I believe that the massive expansion of the government nanny state being promised by both dem candidates has it's roots in Marxist theory...

I believe that this is in direct opposition to the principles that this country was founded on and by that standard unpatriotic and un-American..

call me what you will, does that really sound that radical?

Considering your inability to regard the middle, where most Americans would position themselves, as having a legitimate claim to the substance of America...

Yes.

"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume VII, "Address at Sanitary Fair, Baltimore, Maryland" (April 18, 1864), p. 301-302.
