Blog Entry 64 of 65 BLUE: off-color or bawdy; sad. CARP: to complain.
Pop culture, politics, sports, media. And that's just the beginning. Too many people take themselves too seriously. BlueCarp will point it out. BlueCarp also likes to criticize the critics when they deserve it. If you think I deserve it, filet me! I can take it.

End the Republican Charade

Contributed by: David K. Williams, Jr.   on 9/21/2008


Let's list some recent Republican accomplishments:

1. Nationalization of failed private lenders and insurers - AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac.

2. Substantial curtailment of the Fourth Amendment in the name of freedom - Patriot Act, FISA.

3. Creation of bigger government - Department of Homeland Security (instead of merging existing government departments like the FBI, DEA, ATF, ad nauseum, the Repubs created another layer of government).

4. Advocacy of more regulation - McCain's answer to the mortgage crisis.

Can we just end the charade? Republicans are more interested in retaining power than they are anything else. "Winning" has become paramount. Principles matter not.

At least some Republicans used to stand for limited government and additional personal freedom. See Goldwater, Barry and Reagan, Ronald. No longer.

The one sitting Congressional Republican that actually fights for limited government and personal freedom, Ron Paul, is treated like a leper by the Republican establishment.

Let's end the charade. Reject the Republican poseurs.

Join the Libertarian Party.
