Take-O-Crats

The Democrat party is misnamed; the once great party long ago gave up the cause of freedom and equal opportunity and took up the political philosophy of “Whatever It Takes” in order to remain in power forever. They should rightfully be christened the “Take-O-crat” Party.

Their agenda is to take. Take more money out of our pocket for big government programs that we neither want or need, take away our incentive to invest by levying capital gains tax on earnings, take away with the “death tax” the nest egg for which we worked so hard so that we might have something to leave with our children, take more control of our lives, take away much of our self-reliance by making us a dependent class reliant upon the nanny state goodies, take away our freedom of choice – freedom to choose our children’s school, freedom to hire and fire whom we please, freedom to rent to whom you please, to choose our health care provider, and freedom to listen to the radio station of our choice. They have taken our right to decide for ourselves whether to wear a helmet, to fasten seat belts, to eat whatever foods we prefer, or to drive whatever vehicle we want. All this to make us dependent upon mother government. They even try to take away the reputation of political opponents by attacking their character ala the dirty tricks for which the Clinton War Room crowd is famous. Democrat/Liberals are not content to accept things as they are but have an obsessive need to cure the world of its shortcomings by whatever means necessary, and those means are usually to take what must be taken – our freedoms – all for our own good, of course.
