Comments on: Vilifying Democracy http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2008/10/09/vilifying-democracy/ If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. — Samuel Adams Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:18:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Fliss http://scrutinyhooligans.us/2008/10/09/vilifying-democracy/comment-page-1/#comment-24749 Fliss Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:23:36 +0000 http://www.scrutinyhooligans.us/?p=6169#comment-24749 I heard those fireworks too!

Many well meaning people. But believe me, they are ready to try to impose thier values on you because they know what is good for you. Democracy and modern conservatism are at essential odds.

I'm waiting for someone to use the phrase, "vast left-wing conspiracy." ACORN turns up a couple of dozen bad or fraudulent registration forms out of 8-10 thousand (and they catch most of those themselves). So far, the Daffy Ducks, Wile E. Coyotes and I.P. Dailys aren't presenting themselves at the polls, but 90 year-old nuns need picture IDs to weed out the cartoon characters. It's "They Might Be Giants" logic (the movie, not the band).
