I won't tote the party line on that one. But to each there own. I have many conservative friends who see this as part of some larger conspiracy. I just don't buy into it, not at all. Of course you are entitled to your opinion.

So you are not a Democrat??

A lot of people in the Soviet Union, China, North Korea and Cuba didn't listen until it was too late.

Again, I don't buy this typical kind of fear mongering. But obviously many have bought into it hook line and sinker. America will not become communist because of Obama. That is simply delusional paranoia IMO. And yes, I have belonged to the Republican party for more years than many have been alive on this forum. But some of this rhetoric as of late has been embarassing and not based on any real intellectual analysis of reality of current situations but rather in Fear. The big bad communist Gov't boggy man come to get ya.

But I I still like enough other elements of what the party stands for to belong to it for better or worse. For example in this race for Governor I think Meg has much more to offer our state. However I would never vote for Palin.

LBJ had no need to nationalize anything because the US enjoyed the greatest economic prosperity in its history while he was president.
