We have witnessed in the US and Europe the steady movement of socialists seizing civil liberties of its constituents for politically correct ideas. The progressive/socialist/democrat assault on free speech is perhaps the easiest and most serious attack on human rights underway. I see no common ground between socialists and libertarians. Socialists are consumed with the conceptual ideal of freedom, equality, and fairness to care about individual rights concerning freedom, equality, and justice. <br /><br />As a libertarian I have voted republican in the recent past. I see democrats at rooted firmly in pushing ideas before people. I see ideologues running the democratic party who care less about America or its people. They care only for themselves and the ideas they use to feel important. <br /><br />The Kochs are fools to try appeasing socialists who despise them for their very being.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-91915273843842369712011-03-05T04:56:02.242-06:002011-03-05T04:56:02.242-06:00Hi Eric.
