Beware Democratic yoke

The Spokesman-Review

Democrats use many cute and cuddly names like progressive, centrist, open-minded and green to describe their politics. These descriptions are lies. They want to control every aspect of your life, not make things better. They say things like “saving our planet,” “health care for all” and “fairness” to convince you to support them and their policies.

They hate George Bush, one of the most centrist presidents ever, because he’s a Republican. Some say the Republican Party needs to move more toward the center. That’s another lie. We tried that with John McCain and Obama won.

We need to stand for truth, liberty, smaller government and freedom. The left is trying to limit us and take away as much freedom as they can by claiming it’s for our own good. I don’t want the same elitists who don’t follow the same rules and are ruining our banking and business sector and controlling their behavior doing the same to us because they control the money that supports us. How long do you think they will allow us to continue “harmful” activities that may result in higher health care costs? If you give up freedom and liberty for security, you will have neither.
