>> Fine. I would much rather be a communist than a Republican this nite. Communists are committed to destroying the United States. Republicans are exercising their constitutional rights and responsibilities. Really, that's what you people consider exercising your constitutional rights? What a joke. As for destroying the country.....let's see..........Rs let NOLA drown and caused the worse recession since the Great Depression. I think you all are doing fairly well on your own. Its easy to see why liberals so often choose communism over constitutional processes. A few notes about communism... The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) is a Marxist-Leninist[2] political party in the United States, Dude, despite what you've posted I would rather be considered a commie than a teaper R.

mel, I think if people spent more time reading their history books, they'd understand why Liberty and Democracy go hand in hand with economic freedoms, whereas when economic freedoms die, oftentimes that goes hand in hand with a slide towards Dictatorship or some other form of autocracy. It's an extreme naiveté to think that we can take these grand leaps to the nanny state and not accelerate our slide down the slippery slope to destroying what our founders fought for. Ben Frankling said that he bequeathed us "A Republic, if you can keep it." We're not doing a good job of keeping it, what with the Dems socialism/communism, the Fed Central Economic Planning, and the Obama NSA spying on Americans. What has this country come to? It's starting to feel like Cuba.
