Republicans are Democrats in drag.

The clearest example I have seen in a long time came from this so-called "universal health insurance" law in Massachusetts. Republican governor Romney bragged all over the airwaves that this act, his bill, was a classic. And, indeed it was. It was Democrat principles implemented through a Republican filter. The thing he liked about this "Republican filter" the most was that it "reformed the market."

In a mixed economy, such as we still have at present, all the varieties of socialism run together. This makes it hard to call one item, say, communist, another, say, social democrat, yet another, say, fascist. And so on. It reminds me of going into a saloon, with bottle after bottle lined up in front the mirror behind the bartender. When he asks, What'll you have, you really have a quandry. Every liquid in every bottle is poisonous, although each acts in minor ways differently from its neighboring liquids. The answer is "None," followed by a quick trip down the street to get a big dose of capitalism.

We already know Democrats so really do not have to discuss them. We need to rip the masks off the Republicans.

Fire them all.
