I have been lurking for a long time this is my first post!....I read the entire list and feel as if I have lost IQ because of it. This was the most asinine piece of garbage I have ever read! I do not consider my self a republican or democrat, (I’m more of a libertarian ...small l) and conservative. I believe in the smallest government possible. This list is just another way of liberals and socialists to pollute the minds of ignorant people without discussing the facts. The fact is that almost no conservative thinks this way...yes there maybe a few but it is in an extremely small minority. What many conservatives and republicans think (myself included) is that our government is too big and inefficient. The spending is out of control and yes that means war spending too, and many of us were not happy under the Bush admin.
The problem is that the socialist agenda is a ploy to control the ignorant masses in the country. I think the biggest conspiracy is the education in this country...if that is a NWO agenda I don’t know but basically by dumb-ing down the American people with poor education they can use their bad policies as a Robin Hood tactic.
To elaborate, if the American people know no better, they will think that the socialist progressive party has come to the rescue. Policies like raising the minimum wage, Stimulus packages, bank bailouts, Health Care reform, Anti Gun laws, Global Warming Carbon credits, Planned Parenthood, no child left behind, and ACORN appeal to the masses of people that are uneducated. These policies are NOT being implemented for the well being of the country; they are being sought after for CONTROL OF YOU!!!
By passing these agendas the politicians can go back to their districts and states and appeal to the ignorant masses by saying "ohh, ohh lookie what we did for you!!!" when in reality it is not good at all. The more uneducated people there are the easier it is to get public approval for bad policy. TPTB know that by limiting education they increase the size of their backing constituency, and the more the people depend on the government to save them. Its like the old proverb “Give a man a fish…”
I am in Texas and I know of not a single conservative that thinks the way the list portrays us. I could care less about race...its about character and intelligence. I think the country has been on the wrong track for a long time not just within the last year, howeven within the last year we have been on a “crash course”. I don’t believe however in staying in the dark ages so to speak we need reform in many areas. The constitution allows for this as it is a living document, meant to change with the times, but our government is hell bent on circumventing it for some reason.
Big government is not the answer. Government cannot fix anything but they sure can screw it up. A healthy free market is the only to create jobs and improve the situation. But keep in mind capitalism without morality is not capitalism. There have to be CHECKS AND BALLANCES, not government intervention and control.

Well, all the things I listed matter to me.
But, that doesn't mean that I'm going to argue about which party is right on the matter.
The fact is: Even if they outlawed abortion - it'd still happen. Even if people went to other countries to have the procedure. Even if they outlawed guns - good luck collecting all the firearms in the United States. If you think Iraq was a quagmire, wait till the government tries to enforce that law.
My point was ... there are plenty more things that affect the daily lives of millions of Americans – the least of which are disputed by which party is right or wrong.
We know words like “socialist, communist, liberal, progressive and community organizer” are all Republican code words for “black”.

We Do?
You mean Black as in Black skin?
Hmm that's very odd.. because I recall a lot of Democrats, and Libertarians and Constitutionalists and Green Party etc even the black members of these parties using these very words to describe many other things than a black person or black party or black agenda.
Why would anyone think the Republicans have a monopoly on this? That's just the silliest thing I have read today on ATS.
He was asking if Scott Brown's votes were actually a veiled attempt to roll back the status of blacks in America.
"Well, that is a good question," answered Fineman, Newsweek's senior Washington correspondent and MSNBC political analyst.
After saying that he thought race was "in no respect part of the equation" for "most of the American people," Fineman said that "maybe in some places there are codes, there are images, you know, there are pickup trucks. You can say there's a racial aspect to it one way or the other."
Olbermann, picking up the scent of racism, replied, "What were the Scott Brown ads, though? Every one of the Scott Brown ads had him in a pickup truck."

Come on man, do we still not understand that this battle between the dems and repubs is exactly what the elite want to keep us distracted? Are we still that naive?
I think your post is a bad one because it fails to attack Democrats, who are openly fascist. Openly, because most of their funding comes from corporations,
