Enjoy! And BTW, why should we celebrate "Labor" Day? We should call it Producer Day and give thanks to all of those who provide jobs.

The problem with the RINO term is ambiguity. Some apply it to republicans supporting social freedoms (e.g. pro choice). Others apply it to republicans weak on fiscal conservatism.

If the republicans do not open up on social freedoms, which I would link to fiscal freedom, they will fail. Seems to me some labeled RINOs fall into this category.

To comment upon only one of your sentences, we Objectivists and Libertarians would also "decriminalize all things drug related, and send no one to jail" for any victimless crime.

Every politician of the Statist/Progressive mindset will use any means to achieve their ends. The "end justifies the means" is, at its core, an intentionally deceitful and morally aimless standard.

Whether speaking of people or systems, one definition of integrity is that the stated beliefs and actions are consistent. I'm not sure it matters what the RINO belief is - the actions (or lack thereof) are not consistent with their stated beliefs.

LOL!
I'll be eating pig, by the way.

RINOs are very similar to Democrats. Take McCain, who just pushes power and one world government. The issue is my once Democrat party has become unbearably socialist/communist, the RINOS are moving in the same direction. It is hard to find a true Republican politician. Boehner has been a major disappointment for us Ohioans. Even at the local level, we have a registered Democrat Sheriff, run as a Republican by the Republican leadership, who wants to decriminalize all things drug related, and send no one to jail. He calls it a "victimless" crime!. It is a case of opportunity for power, not commitment to an ideology. We have reached the place where only the man matters when we vote, as the party leadership has sold out, the parties are one and the same. Look at the CFR list to see how both parties support one world beliefs. Look at those of both parties who are willing to sell us out to the UN. Opportunists all.

That's exactly why we are having chicken for dinner today. It's in honor of the spineless Republicans in congress who think that voting like Democrats will get them votes.

Amen!

The Republican leadership cabal is, as the Texans are fond of saying, "All hat, no cattle".

That's a good question Michael, and it points up a serious issue that I have with our system as it stands.

Witness a couple of weeks ago ther was a considerable hoopla surrounding the pledge that Donald Trump originally refused to take, to wit all contenders would swear to support whomever the party selected as tha standard bearer. Forgive me, but I somehow or other was under the impression that our job on Election Day was to choose the individual whom we felt could and would lead our nation for the next four years most capably. There are people in BOTH parties that I wouldn't vote for under any circumstances. It seems to have devolved into name your poison and there's only two choices.

BAH!
