I've been using the word Freedom a lot lately... Someone said something about me being political and I said, "This isn't about politics...it's about Freedom." I like the word freedom and you have an excellent point. :)
Yeah, but I have this nagging feeling that avoiding a word because the left has demonized it, means that they still dictate the ground of battle. I think it's only fair that we take away some of their words for a change, like "caring," and "intellectual." And take back some of the words they stole.
Count me in. Another flaw of socialism is thinking that all people are created equal. All people are NOT created equal. While we recognize their God given rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness the fact is that we are not all equal. All people are not born with the same number of brain cells and synapses. An educator friend of mine suddenly realized this when visiting the home of one of her students. She stated, my god Ben, its genetic. Smart people tend to have smart kids and vice versa. While there are always exceptions both ways the Bell Shaped Curve holds true. If we will recognize this and let capitalism work we will all be better off. "Capitalism can be compassionate when charity is given to a persons strength, not weakness" - Ayn Rand.
Ben posted that his father had written a paper on point. we asked for it. Dale put it up on his blog, hallingblog.com but Ben should really put it up in here. well done. and his dad has put the time in, in his career
Damn straight on your mention that people are NOT created equal. Some guys have hair, others don't. Now, why doesn't Ovomit redistribute "hair" to the follicly challenged? It's about about fairness right? Regarding being smart, yep, you can't fix stupid. Dumb people tend to have, well, more dumb people.
lol- overman, you need an admin to add the "l" to the end of idea. the meaning changes. I hate it when I make a typo in the notes section! I am in your party! Do we have to follow Robert's Rules of Order though?
I have had RA since I was born; I'm refusing to take a handout because the government can't pass a budget and is collapsing our economy via pseudo socialism.
I paid productive like minded people to get this built in less than 2 months ...Capitalists get work done .... I'm now off the grid except for my wireless internet ...
I would rather live happy like this until the gov targets me or collapses ... At least I will be happy living the way I want to, till others gov or private encroach.

He must be a gentleman... a man of honor and courage... a man of zeal, yet humble... an intelligent man... a man of truth... one who tempers action with wisdom and, above all else, one who walks in the light of God."
I think we can start adding some slogans to the party;
"Target socialist corruption and corrupt big business monopoly's by the roots with true capitalism "
Most people I know associate capitalism with big business, corruption, and greed.
I would like to join this bandwagon, regardless of the name, so long as the platform is promotion of true capitalism. You could call it the Prosperity Party ...
Party? Sure. I'll bring the Gin & tequila. Anything is better than the UN Agenda 21 Bush-chosen GOP and the Alinski-ite Ovomit and Hellary. Besides, ideas tend to flow much easier when the alcohol is going around. =)
