Quote: Weird Tolkienish Figure wrote in post #44So Rufus high tailed it to an even purer conservative forum, in which even thinking the tea party might be wrong is a bannable offense?
This too will prove to be too impure for the absolute purist brigade and that will splinter itself.
I said it once and I'll say it again, we truly are the stupid party.
I don't think that's the case or even a fair accusation
We clearly were not understooding eachother, thats all. I take him at his word, everyone needs a breather now and then
Rufus gave us all fair warning.
He recently stated that if everyone didn't stop making comments favorable to the GOP he was "outta here".

Not exactly. Come on, let not devour our here!
Just thought I'd reinterpret one of his last statements as a posthumous tribute to Rufus and what he did best (or at least most often).
The reality is that Democrats want to spend more than they can possibly tax and Republicans want to tax less than what they actually spend.
RESULT: A $17 Trillion debt that is destroying our present economy and will destroy our children's future.
Whether the Left-fringe and the Right-fringe want to admit it, to get out of the $17 Trillion hole, U.S. Government income will have to rise and U.S. Government spending will have to decrease.
That seems so clear that even Stevie Wonder can see it.
The overwhelming problem is that we MUST raise taxes because paying down the debt may be the most important thing that needs to be done now to protect our country.
The problem is that if the Republicans DO vote to increase taxes,the Dims will see it as "Cool! We have more money to spend to buy more votes!",and the problem only gets worse because the people that did have a few extra nickels to spend before the taxes were raised,don't have those nickels now.
So,there needs to be a "Carved in stone absolute I-don't-give-a-damn-if-the-whole-world-is-starving-to-death" SPENDING LIMIT voted into law that can NOT be violated,not even to build somebody a bridge or a dam,or raising taxes to pay off the debt is counter-productive.
Good luck with that one.

YOU said AND I QUOTE "I DO OBJECT WHEN YOU WANT TO USE THE FORCE OF GOVERNMENT TO FORCE THE REST OF US TO LIVE BY YOUR BELIEFS."
I cited examples of leftist imposing what I see as their "religion" on the rest of us. SO:
The "you" in that statement is not YOU (sneakypete) but you (people like Obama and other Leftists) who have "questionable" beliefs and "faith in unseen things" FORCING THE REST OF US (WE, US) TO LIVE BY YOUR (THEIR) BELIEFS.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, YOU PEOPLE ARE DENSE TODAY
Since the post was directed at me and there was no mention of the left,I assumed you were speaking to me.
My apologies.
