Really?

I don't see how Preachers can stand with either Party, no matter how they twist the Scripture.

Fascists think government should be characterized by a centralization of authority. Lord knows the GOP are centralizing their authority in Raleigh. I could easily argue that their policy is belligerence and intolerance. The only thing they lack is a dictator, but I'm sure Art Pope is up to the task!

lolololol

It's funny 'cause it's true

I did not mention any political parties as socialism is apolitical. IMO both political parties are guilty of it. However if this is how you identify the political parties then so be it. I don't think things are so black and white myself.

What I have observed about socialists however is they do everything they can to keep others from expressing their opinions on a matter. This includes attempts at discrediting them. Funny thing about a socialist however. They rarely take a firm public stand on a matter that they must defend. (well maybe not so funny) At best you will get some weasel wording.

----------------------

The question I responded to was this: What morals is the group fighting for? I have my opinion of the matter. If you don't like it then I assume you will be headed down there to carry a sign. Have fun. LOL

Nobody and I do mean nobody abuses government spending on the level of the GOP. God forbid they cut the socialist white collar welfare dependents that leech on the Department of Defense. Reagan almost had it right with his famous quote "the government is the problem". No, government contractors are the problem who will lobby every decent minded person on capital hill until money is redirected from social programs to fund the socialist white collar welfare war programs. It is the scared cow of sacred cows that is simply a federal taxpayer paid piggy bank for the GOP.

Yet, giving a teacher a pay raise or ole joe state employee a payraise is socialism or redistribution of wealth. Until these people are unmasked for the frauds they are when it comes to outrageous state and federal government spending, the clown show will continue.

WSOCtv showed it on TV. There doesn't look to be that much to it. Just some people hollering they don't like McCrory. LOL Nothing about morals.

If Green Peace is there, then they are not doing much for their cause by associating with this crowd.

"Nothing about morals"?!? I swear you'd be a great standup.

I s'pose you are disappointed with other happenings like Black Friday and hump day? Do you feel gypped when there's a 'blue moon'? Does speed street move too slow for you? Did the Big Apple look like you expected?
