Absolutely untrue. MacDaddy illustrates that the R's are idiots who are incapable of understanding gradualism. He is it's anti-thesis, not it's apogee.

I did not say he's the 'apogee' of gradualism. I said that too many people are using it as an excuse to NOT be gradualist.

Saying 'we need to walk before we can run' and using that as an excuse to stand still, if you will.

All of this Ron Paul back-and-forth got me to thumb through my copy of "Atlas Shrugged."

Nope. No mention of Ron Paul.

(with the one Dem being fairly fiscally conservative and a welfare reformer).

Ummm, nope Clinton had Welfare reform rammed down his throat.  Same with Fiscal repsonsibilty from the R congress at first....then they got drunk with power.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

"The people in the gun culture have a better safety record than any police department in the nation, but in
several states actually prohibit us from using guns for self-protection, and in all the other states except one
they make us buy a license. They tax us so we can have more cops, and when crime still goes up, they tax
us more and ban more of our guns."
