A Letter to the Editor on Saturday in Louisville’s Courier-Journal…
Here is an enlightening little quiz. Guess the source of these quotations:
[Hat-tip D.R. Tucker on the Twitters…]
1. Congress should “authorize separate federal matching of state and local expenditures for the medical care needed by public assistance recipients.”
2. “To guarantee adequate financing of health care on a nationwide basis,” we need a “comprehensive health insurance plan (to) offer to every American the same broad and balanced health protection.”
No, not Barack Obama. The answers are: 1. Dwight Eisenhower and 2. Richard Nixon who, today, would be called “socialists” and drummed out of the GOP.
Today we have only moderate Republicans – whom we now call Democrats – and the Tea Party.
Or, as I prefer to call them, the cowards and the bullies.

Yes, the real problem is that this country ISN’T CONSERVATIVE *ENOUGH*!
I used to live in the Midwest (Missouri) and the South (Georgia) during 4 of the years of the previous decade. This mindset is prevalent.
The bubble’s armor is strong.
If you make under $50K every year and/or have a net worth under $250,000 and you vote Republican, you are a fool.
Divide and Conquer – it’s worked since Julius Caesar, why stop now?
Ignore the man behind the curtain, flyover country. Keep being his useful idiots.
(Insert necessary qualifier to acknowledge that Obama is a sellout who has governed as a moderate Republican here)
