Top 10 reasons to write-in Ross for County Commissioner

[redcliffsw]

You seem to have a desire to be called something more in line with Americanism.

You've never rejected a social program that I know, yet Ross has drawn the line.

Just because you're a Republican or even support a conservative issue like the 2nd
Amendment, does not conceal your favored European doctrine.

Uh, last time I looked I wasn't running for anything either. You have no sense of humor at all do ya?  Or perhaps I'm expecting too much in the IQ department? Some day I'll get you figured out.
I'm telling ya you wouldn't know true, pure, socialism if it reached up and bit ya! Even real socialist countries today have changed over time and are not the same.
As far as I know, nothing I just wrote was untrue. Besides, a real politician has to know what to laugh off and ignore because of the political blogs and cartoons that come out on both sides every day. Candidates all manage to create huge piles of material for people to use for spoofs and satire...ya do know what satire is doncha?   Some of us use it on the forum quite often.Poke,poke.
  As far as "true" American conservative candidates....there are no real ones left. Just look at the actual voting records and you'll see. They all owe their political souls to other people one way or another, and can't be pure conservatives because of the deals they make to get elected. I would have thought you would have known that. Like I've always said, I'm a moderate Independent and I'm happy to stay there. As  far as I know Repubs aren't socialists, but I know how much you like to toss the word socialist, Marxist and communist around. You are very entertaining!
 As rude as you are, if you are an example of a real conservative... well, help us all.
Just remember, if ya wanna play, you jabbed me first .

And just what is your definition of Americanism?  The two most common definitions deal with language and ideology, i.e.

"Americanism is an ideology or belief in devotion, loyalty, or allegiance to the United States of America or to its flag, traditions, customs, culture, symbols, institutions, or form of government. A belief in Americanism is a preference for all things or most things having to do with the United States. In some cases it can be a view of superiority of the United States over other systems.

Americanism can also be a way of speaking, writing, or spelling of words in American English that may be different from British English, or other forms of the English language." (wikipedia)

The third most common deals with heresy against the Catholic Church and obedience to its authority -

"Coined in the nineteenth century, in Roman Catholic use the term Americanism referred to a group of related heresies which were defined as the endorsement of the separation of church and state. It was thought that these doctrines were held by and taught by many members of the Catholic hierarchy in the United States in the 1890s. Catholic leaders in the U.S. denied they held these views.[1]

The Americanist heresy is characterized as an insistence upon individual initiative which the Vatican judged to be incompatible with what was considered to be a fundamental principle of Catholicism: obedience to authority. Moreover, the conservatives were anti-republicans who distrusted and disliked the democratic ideas that were dominant in America.[2][unreliable source?]

Pope Leo XIII wrote against these ideas in his encyclical (Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae) to Cardinal James Gibbons. In 1898 Leo XIII lamented an America where church and state are "dissevered and divorced," and wrote of his preference for a closer relationship between the Catholic Church and the State, along European lines." (Wikipedia)


You must have a different meaning in mind since the aforementioned deal with allegience to our Country and feeling it is superior to others, and a belief in individual initiative over obedience to authority.  

This is unless Ron Paulians feel the United States is and should be inferior to other nations, and that we should all bow to authority rather than show initiative and protect individuality.


Now the quotes from Wiki do kind of describe my actual political stance, that of a center-right Moderate; pragmatic, patriotic, individualistic, etc.

Leave it to Red to hi-jack another thread and divert it into another of his anti-socialism bashings.  Although there is nothing in this reply indicating my own personal political beliefs, I feel certain Red is very likely to come back and label me a socialist, simply because I have said something negative towards him.  He's done it before.

Originality on my part!

[Ross]

Boy, oh boy! Looks like a first for us ELK, we agree on something!

I totally agree with you on this one.
Loss would be terrible. He lacks tact and diplomacy and prefers the truth.
Those just are not politician qualities in this day and age.
But I am pushing for two guys I believe can be very honest with the public.

People would leave elk county in droves.

This one is totally wrong, sorry to have to disagree with you, but that's life.
I bet I have greated more newcomers to Elk County in the last year of so, then you have in the last three years?
If County Commissioner I would want to start up the old friendly way of a Welcome Wagon of the good old days.
I'd check into using the Recreation Fund money for such activity instead of giving it to a privately owned company to waste.
Then the word would spread about how friendly Elk County is.
Tehy say word of mouth is the best advertisement.

Charlie durbin you stop that right now.

Now I totally agre with you on this one.
"Charlie durbin you stop that right now."
Listen to big brother, LOL
