In their recent attacks on the Obama stimulus plan and budget we hear cries that President Obama is pushing SOCIALISM! on the American People and this must be resisted at all costs.
"Earlier this week, we heard the world’s best salesman of socialism address the nation," Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina, said on Friday, referring, naturally, to a certain socialist in chief.
Well fine. A principled stand against socialism is respectable.
But we don’t need to listen to any of these blowhards until they sign the following pledge....
