Rebels With A Cause - Conservatism

"The concept of freedom before wealth is hard for Democrats to understand, but it is this principle that defines conservatism."

then only 1 paragraph later we get this gem:

"Sitting in the members-only lounge at the Harvard Club with these modern rebels"

MODERN REBELS!!!! These two rich silver-spoon, self-proclaimed conservatives are sitting in the "member-only lounge" at the Harvard Club. WOW! Rebels in the purest since of the word and what was that they made ketchup? Man oh man look out Thomas Paine here comes the new rebel.

Give me a break Republicans. ALL you care about is wealth. oh, and pick up a history book the parties flipped 3 times from the Civil war until 1930. Why do you think Strom Thurmond started as a Democrat and ended as a Republican. Democrats started the KKK because southern republicans broke away over their hatred of Lincoln and in a 2-party system there was only 1 place to go. Don't try and distort the facts like your founding fathers Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly.
