Socialist Epilog
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.

As a Service Disabled Viet Nam Vet (Unlike John Kerry! Our metro-sexual man!) I am amazed the we are having this discourse! Our nation debt is $1.4 Trillion going to $2.4 Trillion. Where in the HELL are we going to get the money? I guess this Dems want to make us China's Labor camps!
FACT: 22 MILLION OF THE UN-INSURED ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS. Lets have Mexico pay there health care!
Since the 1960s the Teacher Unions and Dem have lowered the EDU Standards 4 time! Instead of raising the level of poor schools they lower the levels of good schools! Now we have an uneducated mass who can't balance a check book!
Unless you have lived and work in the Middle East or in Eastern Europe, you don't have the IQ required to respond!
