Things that make you go Hmmmmmmm
« on: February 27, 2011, 09:25:28 PM »
 ::rant::I would like to know why the party of the left is called the 'Democratic" party.  They aren't even close to being democratic.  If the party is legally constituted as the Democratic Party (which I know they are), why are their members called Democrats rather than the more accurate Democratics? ::rant::

Hmmmmmmmm, I thought they were legally constituted as Democrats and called themselves Democratic because it conferred an air legitimacy upon them that they actually lack.

Why, when Constitutional Conservatives stand where the Founding Fathers did does the left come along, plop themselves aaaall the way over there on the left and calls us "extreme rightists"?

Because they know our weak sauce party will shuffle a bit further to the left, just to show how "centrist" they are, and willing to reach across the aisle. Now the "center" is that much further to the left. Rinse, repeat.

" .... although we all played a role."

Bull.Sht.  I paid my way, took nothing from no one, IOW, no handouts from public or private, voted my conscience, obeyed the law and paid my taxes.

Bull.Sht.

".... we're all gettin' penalized for the games they play above us, that we don't get to participate in .... ".

Uh, yeah, so, if we don't get to play, then what "role" did we play?

Beck gets a lot of things right, but I'm not taking one, single, stinking iota of responsibility for the events leading to today's grim outlet or for tomorrow's inevitable catastrophe.  Not. one.

The one right thing he gets is the T.G. vs. the N.G. and where the Founders stood with the new Constitution, so I get your point IDP.

That was my only point.  ;) Is there something before 3:40 that pizzed you off? I didn't watch that. I specifically went looking for the TG - NG comparison as a tangential response to:

I saw that piece when he broadcast it, and it stuck with me.

Yes, I know; I expanded. Watch the whole thing and you'll see.

You hit it alright; that was the part that adhered to my quote, but the rest, bleah.

Jim Quinn is who I paraphrased there in the part of my post you quoted.
