Sounds nice on paper, until you actually read what he is saying. ABG - Anybody but Gore? Hmmmm? Does that include anyone? Even Nader or Buchanan over Gore? I doubt it. Some of what he says is preposterous and lurid: If Clinton had had his way, conservatives would now be rotting away in Alaskan concentration camps with no one to liberate them. Does he really believe this tripe? I hope not. Then there are things like this: Republicans... pay their taxes. They are usually religious, pro-life, pro-capitalist, pro-freedom. They are homeschoolers who pay for their children’s education while still paying taxes for the public schools. Which only goes to show that Republicans themselves do not really understand the concept of inalienable rights or individual liberty. Whether one is religious or not should be immaterial. If one is religious it should not matter if they worship a God, Allah, Thor, Zeus or the Great God Mota. They would understand that income taxes are evil and public education overseen by governments is, and always has been, an imminent danger to freedom. Therefore, they would actively work to eliminate the public education system. Many Republicans know as much about capitalism as the Democrats -- which isn't much. If Republicans really respected individual rights they would support abortion, support gays rights under the Constitution and actively work for the complete abolishment of the IRS, the DEA, the BATF, etc. But the Republicans too are guilty of lip service to ideals they do not really want to reach for or live up to... just like the Democrats. Both political parties are guilty in their own right, and in the long run, if unchecked, both parties will continue to lead the individualists in this country towards ultimate doom. When all is said and done, both major political parties can now be fairly said to be socialists. Consequently, to both Republicans and Democrats I say: Don't Tread on Me FT
