Orwellian overtones

I just went on a long-winded political rant about healthcare in this country and when I hit the publish button my computer went a little haywire and lost the whole thing. This smacks of Big Brother! Maybe W is smarter than I thought he was.

Kansas's electoral votes are already signed, sealed, and delivered to the Republican candidate so why is "the man" keeping this working man from voicing his frustrations?

Oh my misguided liberal friend... Are you not aware that big government is not a tool of the staunch conservative? Makes you wonder wich side of the boat bubba is sitting on eh?

What The Rabbit fails to understand is that "big government" was designed to help the citizens by creating entities that enhance life and create the availability for choices. The staunch conservative was designed to enhance monetary gain of the high end and limit choices by making anything that is not "normal" not only wrong in their opinion but illegal.

Then fault the nearsighted voters that elect these morally conservatives and not the politicians that say and never do what they must to please them.

Conservative
[n] a person who has conservative ideas or opinions
[adj] resistant to change
[adj] conforming to the standards and conventions of the middle class; "a bourgeois mentality"
[adj] unimaginatively conventional; "a colorful character in the buttoned-down, dull-gray world of business"- Newsweek
[adj] avoiding excess; "a conservative estimate"
[adj] opposed to liberal reforms.

I guess I would be politically conservative, but morally liberal hehe.
