"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right that Heaven itself has ordained" - President and General George Washington

"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try Liberty; for Liberty is an acknowledgement of faith in God and His works" - Frederic Bastiat

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" - President Ronald Reagan

"If your beliefs are worth dying for then your life is worth living" - Guy Average

You Are Voting Democrat. Do You Know Why?

RED STATE: I vote Democrat because...

(No, I haven't voted Democrat since the 1970s.  I didn't leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me.  Below is a compilation that I found posted on Red State of the thought process one must have in order to vote Democrat):

I Vote Democrat Because:

I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine, as long as nobody is offended by it.

I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don’t start driving a Prius.

I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies through abortion so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

I voted Democrat because I believe business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves.  They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as they see fit.

I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

I voted Democrat because I believe we definitely need to have higher tax rates on the rich in this country, but believe its ok if people in office, including the Secretary of the Treasury, don’t pay their taxes as long as they raise everyone else’s taxes to compensate for it.

I voted Democrat because I do not want to compromise with conservatives on anything, but feel that we can better fix our problems with nations like Iran and North Korea by just sitting down and talking things out.

I voted Democrat because they’re the most compassionate people in society. Yet, in study after study, you find that conservatives give more of their money to charity than liberals.

I voted Democrat because I believe we’ve all got to dramatically reduce our carbon footprint to save the planet, but it’s ok if Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi live in big mansions and fly around in private jets to support the Go Green cause. 

I voted Democrat because they stand up for women’s rights, but I believe it is ok to  support sexual predators like Bill Clinton and hurl grotesque sexist insults at feminist role models like Sarah Palin if they don’t toe-the-liberal-line.

(Meanwhile, we of the TEA Party simply have one voting focus at the current time):
