		<description><![CDATA[Unlimited pedantry and their inability to trust the thinking of others. They can not feel empathy to anyone independent of their central powerful entity. 

They are infatuated insisting in this &quot;deja vu&quot;...But this is already known, it is called totalitarian, fascism...absolutism, they are the progressives for big government. 
It can be more or less gruff but their play is to impose federal will over the will of individuals ... 

They need to learn the Constitution... our Bill of Rights, and of course the Declaration of Independence..

These arrogants must learn our history, really understand our long and fruitful journey to appreciate our love of freedom. 

Manipulators are not welcomed in this wonderful Nation....please do not enter!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Solid conservatives can&#039;t get elected eh? You&#039;ve been listening to too much of the inside the Beltway crowd. What good does it do to elect a Republican branded clone of a Democrat anyhow? All that they do is stab you in the back when things matter. I can name two right now off the top of my head, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, traveling to Egypt to lick the boots of the Muslim Brotherhood on behalf of Obama. Both are also from red states so nobody can claim that a solid conservative couldn&#039;t get elected from those. There are three recent examples of where the &quot;Moderate&quot; Republican candidate strategy fell on it&#039;s face, Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, all &quot;Blue&quot; Republicans who handily lost not only in blue states but pissed off the larger conservative base 

 Who cares about getting candidates elected in Blue states anyhow? Most Blue states are headed towards bankruptcy and are loosing their productive people to red states. Blue states are going to vote for a fake Democrat when they can continue electing a real one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a very accurate description of how things progressed under National Socialist rule in Germany during the 1930s, according to some who were living there at the time. You can call them &quot;left wing&quot; if you want to but Cass Sunstein is in effect parroting the methods of Goebbels and unfortunately Brooks has largely been taken in by this snake oil. Beware of anyone offering a &quot;cure&quot; to all of life&#039;s problems or a utopian republic where all of society is governed by &quot;Philosopher Kings&quot;, it can not work. 

 It would be somewhat understandable if the advocates of such things were at least accomplished men like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates but what exactly are these nutjobs like Sunstein accomplished in? They are ivory tower academics, their interaction with the real world is extremely limited, and they are the very model of the unaccomplished, the closest they have come to doing anything is by reading it over in a book, if that. I would gather that if their car had a flat tire or their toilet clogged they wouldn&#039;t have a clue what to do about it. 

 A perfect model for the way these people think is a cartoon character called Brainy Smurf, from the 80&#039;s cartoon called the Smurfs. An individual who thinks he can do anything and everything, even if he knows nothing about it, but whenever he tries he usually messes up badly humiliating himself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot; Darwin himself might not have been a conservative…&quot; A Conservative! Charles Darwin was one of the first Scientific Racists. Others like Galton and Sanger were his eager disciples. 

Are you familiar with this Darwin quote? &quot;At some future period, not very distant as measured in centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes will… will no doubt be exterminated. The break will the be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the negro of Australian and the gorilla.&quot; From the Descent of Man.  He ranks the Caucasian at the top and down at the bottom &quot;the negro and Australian.&quot; Conservative my rump.]]></description>
