Rush just interviewed one of the 3 Million stay at homes.....he is a dyed in the wool Ron Paul guy.....He and those like him think that we MUST at all costs have someone that will return to what we were founded on...BUT he and they forget that the US has changed over the last 200+ years....LOOK how many other races and cultures we have admitted to be citizens.....PLUS many of these people are not wealthy and not skilled when they arrive, so need financial help. Or at least our doogooders think they do..... Many of these people are not like those immigrants of the 18th and 19th century. Many if not most of those people were nearly penniless as well, but they wanted to work. They helped at various farms, or picked cotton, or worked in factories, or did things like open their own little donut stand. Most of these people succeeded and provided a nice life for themselves and their families. These were our ancestors. A huge problem of not having the schools teach history, is that the children have NO understanding of what it took to make this grand coutry grow and thrive and to provide a living for millions of people The people who stayed home or didn't vote are the cause of the rest of us having to put up with a Statist Socialist Barack Obama. They changed it alright......they won't like it, and the rest of us won't like it, but I hope they are satisfied with themselves. From Wiki.....Statism ( French: étatisme) is a term used by political scientists to describe the belief that a government should control either economic or social policy or both to some degree. [1] [2] [3] [4] Statism is effectively the opposite of anarchism. [1] [2] [3] [4] Statism can take many forms. Minarchists prefer a minimal or night watchman state to protect people from aggression, theft, breach of contract, and fraud with military, police, and courts. [5] [6] [7] [8] Some may also include fire departments, prisons, and other functions. [5] [6] [7] [8] Totalitarians prefer a maximum or all encompassing state. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] Limited government, welfare state, and other options make up the middle territory of the scale of statism. [14] [15] Some libertarians use the term statist in a derogatory sense.
