The problem with you conservatives is that you can't expect to convert people to your way of thinking by spouting a bunch of buzzwords. Socialism might be the ultimate evil to you, but you must remember that this is no longer the 1950s. The USSR collapsed almost 20 years ago.. people no longer live in fear of socialism.

Get with the times.

I suspect all those people who live in fear in socialist nations would disagree with you that no longer fear socialism ... I forgot, mass murder of citizens only matters when it is in a history book about World War II.

Exaggerate much?  Socialism is different than communism, I hate to break it to you.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
