Party of the Rich?
by Daniel Looby
Issue 99 - January 16, 2008

I have enjoyed reading many of the articles from The American Conservative Union Foundation in ConservativeBattleline and have generally agreed with almost all, and found few reasons for disagreement.

I have until now just enjoyed without comment. But, I have to write about the article "Party of the Rich" by Paul Weyrich. WOW! I have for so many years tried to convince people of exactly what Mr. Weyrich said.

I am sixty-one years of age, a union member all my working life, and now a retired U.A.W. member. One of the things that have saddened me over the years about unions is their insistence on backing Democrats. When I was younger and easier to fool, I went along with the unions, but as time went on, I found that the Democratic Party was less and less for the working man, less and less in agreement of my beliefs of what the role of government should be, and showed little if any regard for Christianity.

I am amazed by the number of people that continue to live under the dark cloud of Democratic hopefuls’ propaganda that they and their party are for the working class.

The Democratic Party should rename itself as the "Socialist Party"! They have come to represent everything the true socialist stands for. As a resident of the Great Lakes State of Michigan, I can attest to the fact that socialism is alive and growing in the Democratic Party. We will leave it at that, as anyone who is familiar with what is happening in Michigan can testify to the sad state of this state, and I will not get in to naming names, or name calling.

I will add this, I do not consider myself Republican or Democratic, I only consider myself Catholic and Conservative!!!
