Democrats Appeal to Envy

[ClayBarham]

Americans, long admired for their freedoms to pursue legitimate self-interest, built prosperous families and communities held together by a common morality and respect. They created a government and elected people to prevent injustice. That has all changed today. The glue that now holds American communities together is shared envy. Each American focuses more on the differences of material possessions of others. Immigrants flooding across America’s southern border have come to dine at the American teat and add more envy to the mix. The Democrats do best when envy is the common principle of society. Republicans do well when freedom, success, hope and prosperity are the focus. Just listen to the rhetoric of the Democrats and their appeal for taking from those who have, to share with those who have not. Evita, the Madame LaFarge of the party, leads the charge, seeking the heads of those who lead the growth of America. Answers for the world’s ills are American founding ideals, and we are letting it fade away.

Yes I guess the jeffersonian ideal of dynastic wealth is slipping away.

[ClayBarham]

Yep, looks like anyone who earns anything above the poverty level will slip away as well, because those that "won't" want to stop those who "will" to satisfy their own pride, which is what socialism ends up to be....except, there are those who run things and they can have more, in fact, all they can take using the police force of government. That should make you feel better.

And this is in what way different from Republican/NeoCons using fear and bigotry to appeal to their base?

Vote for God's Own Party, or those illegal, Mexican, terrorist-harboring, homosexual, liberal, communist, border-jumpers are going to come for your children and keep us from winning this Holy War... http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a176/Hasatude5150/beatinoff.gif

More asinine babblings from Clay about something called "Democrats" and something else, that is sooooooo very different mind you, called "Republicans"?

You see, folks, what Democrats really want is to hand over the means of production in our society to the Government. Democrats are not really Americans and had no hand in the founding principals of our nation, which we worship like a gawd.

Republicans are apple pie, baseball, summer days and homemade ice cream, vacation bible school, red white and blue Supermen – all the things that are good and great and gawdly and white and anglo and protestant. Oh there I go again, dividing. Tsk, tsk.

Cow you forgot the bit about how we love terrorists

Cripes! Good catch T-n-P. How did I miss that one?

I regret to report that Clay is not the kind of republican that I am.

[ClayBarham]

Buck:
You must be a Bush Republican. I am a Conservative and have little to admire about your "Republicans."

This shoots down what little credibility you ever had. Clueless. Neocon, for sure.

No. I'm a Teddy Roosevelt republican. Bush is the worst president in history. I'm surprised that you haven't gathered that from my posts.

[ECW]

That must make you a loblawlor, right?
What is that, you ask?
Who knows, but it doesn't contain any reason or intelligence either, kinda like your waste of time tossing out names like a child in the school yard. Try to look reasonable once in awhile. Then, maybe someone will take you seriously.


Coming from someone who is running around these boards alleging that some of its posters are aligned with OBL without one shred of proof to back up their rantings, you have no room to talk. Don't try and take the high road, little namecaller, and pretend that you don't do the exact same thing.

[ClayBarham]

Alleging, you say? One has only to look at the post.

[ClayBarham]

You mean, when a guy takes on everything American, as if there has never been nor ever will be anything worthwhile in America, except his admiration for Osama in your face, time after time being nothing but confrontational in response to any idea run up the flagpole to solicit comments from adults, and I should do what?

[ECW]

Great. This little fucker throws around terrorist sympathizer remarks and those are let go but you take my defense against those remarks off the board. Just great. I see how things work.

You have a friend in high places, ClayBar.

Are you one of those Cheap-Labor Conservatives? You know...the kind that thinks that the working people of America need to be chained to the machines of production and labor 12 hours a day for beggars' wages? With no OSHA safety regs?

One of those Ayn Rand Objectivist worshippers?

Enlighten me please...

[ClayBarham]

You could say that, except I am a Christian which Rand did not appreciate. I posted Roark's speech yesterday and see it has been removed today, which tells you what I prefer.

[BoogyMan]

Clay, your Roark post is still on the board. It just hasn't gotten much commentary.

First of all, Rand is nothing but applied Friedrich Neitzsche. Funny how you radical righties can't seem to wrap your heads around that. But you say you're simultaneously somehow laboring under the misapprehension that Jesus of Nazareth might have been...CONSERVATIVE?!?

Curiouser and curiouser.

How, then, do you interpret His words "Love ye your enemies?" (Luke 6:35) Or are you one of those Rick Santorum-style Christians who doesn't do the Bible..?

Christ had no political leanings Angel. His purpose here had nothing to do with politics, he was here to be a propitiation for sins.

[ClayBarham]

It's so good you have to say it twice? I will keep on expressing the historical nature of our Republic without any concern for convincing you elitists socialists that it worked, unless you decide to open your eyes and look about you to see what has been created in America that does not exist elsewhere. If everyone around you were smiling and happy, you would say they were all sick, not informed of how bad America is.

Clay you have completely lost me on this one, I was responding to Angel of Mercy's comment and you now assume because I refuted that comment that I am an America hater? I am about as far from a socialist as it gets Clay. Did you actually *READ* my commentary?

[wonder cow]

Uhmm where did all the off topic Jesus bashing go?

[lily]

I think it's here?
