I knew I was doing some bad writing there but I had to get to work. I was referring to the LPs comittment to the Bill of Rights and to FDR's famous "freedom from" speech. Two different concepts of what constitutes freedom.

I already heard this ridiculed and lambasted on Fox 'fair and balanced'. One guy even used the 'T' word again.

They're the same concept, really. You can't have one without the other in any meaningful way.

I agree with your last point, Kits, though not with much else. While the Democrats haven't been selling anything I've wanted to buy for sixteen years now, and that's a looooong time for a major party in a democracy to lose my interest, the Dems seem to me particularly untrustworthy nowadays. They just keep getting worse and worse, to the point where I am no longer aghast at their antics but merely disgusted. Look at them: tax and spend is still their shibboleth. Socialism and economic illiteracy their policy and watchword. They have no plan to win the war better than the one the Republicans are implementing, so any war-winning effort and policy will be the Republican package with a big donkey sticker on it -- not exactly truth in advertising, is it?

All this says to me, "Friends don't let friends vote Democratic."
