Just wanted to thank you, Michelle, for helping to make the FIRST (of many, I hope) SGP summit such a success!

and possibly discriminatory against dumb girls.

And of fatal tendency…to put, in the place of the delegated will of
the Nation, the will of a party; – often a small but artful and
enterprising minority…

They are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent
engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be
enabled to subvert the Power of the People and to usurp for the
themselves the reins of Government;

Does it sound like someone has anticipated our current woeful situation?

Why do we have to have “health insurance” of the type we now have, beyond “major medical” for extraordinary situations such as surgery? The answer, in part, is because of the government interference in the health care sector that dates back to Medicare and Medicaid.

You don’t have to have “grocery insurance” for the routine and inevitable need to buy food, and you don’t have to have “water insurance” to make sure that you have water to drink. So why “health insurance?”

If people like RSS would ever drop the party line and start questioning the things they just assume WITHOUT question right now, they might be surprised to see their paradigms shifting a bit.

I have this funky daydream about a Congress that says “okay, we’re going to try an all-free market approach to things right now. We’re going to repeal all the government mandates and roadblocks to health care, and see what happens. Hey, we can always put them back in place if it doesn’t work, right? Let’s try an experiment to see what really works.”

But you’ll never hear that in reality, because with politicians it has NEVER been about “what works,” but rather “what increases our power and importance.”

Getting something “free” off of another man’s work.

Where are all the Smart Girls tonight? RSS has hijacked this thread and has done nothing but insult our hostess and other posters.

I forget her name (Stacey or something) that started the first “Tea Party” in Seattle. She’s my hero!!

I was on MM the night she posted that she had just sent out the e-mails and got the permit. I loved it! Go figure that some MAN in Chicago borrowed the idea, and got all the credit.

We need to impress upon the Republican Party to close the primaries. Or threaten to leave the Party if they choose to ignore us.

A woman started to Modern Day Tea Party, we WOMEN can influence the direction we conservatives choose to turn.

Who will join me in contacting the GOP about closing the primaries?

(Plus I know we’re supposed to be tolerant of everyone, but can’t we draw the line at Mormons? … Come on, just say no to these bastards.)

But Red, whenever we try to say no to that Mormon bast*rd Harry Reid and his liberal agenda you are one of the first to condemn us. So despite your hate speech, you do seem to have tolerance for some Mormons — if they support a leftist agenda.

The Republican Party does not have a monopoly on bigots as your posts clearly prove. Democrats claim to be tolerant but they are the least tolerant. If a democrat dislikes someone or some group, all they have to do is pin a label on them like “racist” or “hater” or “extremist”. Then they feel justified to hate them and ridcule them and discriminate against them. And it doesn’t matter if the label is fair or accurate. Once the label is attached to someone, they’re fair game.

You fool yourself if you think you’re more tolerant.

I don’t believe that any society has ever gotten more tolerant. They just change targets.
