Perhaps the choice is not between Democrat and Republican in the long run
-- but between individual liberty or subordination to rank hypocrisy.If history is any guide many, perhaps even the majority, will choose welfare over freedom. Give me bread and call me stupid, but only give me bread. Lord Bevin boasted upon creating the welfare state "I stuffed their mouths with gold." People today are not so demanding. They'll be happy with chump change. - - Belmont Club » Yee Gads

It isn't republicans vs democrats, it is government vs the citizens.

Between freedom and slavery.

I've never understood why sane people would choose others to rule over them. I just don't get it. Aren't there enough thugs in the world without fabricating a whole nuther layer?

Aneurin Bevan, not Lord Bevin, coined the phrase "I stuffed their mouths with gold."
He was referring to the top Consultants of the The BMA, not the plebs. He was a cunning Welsh Marxist, who used the NHS as a Trojan Horse for crippling socialism. Beveridge, whose original plan for welfare was of a different ilk, is turning in his grave. Barbara Pelosi is your Aneurin Bevan. Nota bene!

Apologies, I did of course mean Nancy Pelosi: I inadvertantly cross pollenated her with Ms Boxer, of similar ilk. Rather like mixing Ernie Bevin with Aneurin Bevan. It's difficult, sometimes, for the synapses to discern the nuances of socialist drivel. Which is probably why it continues to flourish.
