Polite, gentle Republicans are wearisome. In the face of the America-destroying policies of this enemy-within horde of criminal thugs under the crook-in-chief, Barack Obama (or whatever his name is), I would think the Republicans would be brave enough—at least for America’s sake—to leave their mealy mouths at the door and tell it like it is. But, with very few exceptions, they continue to pussy-foot around the outrageous actions and brazen lies of the oligarchy of communist Democrats ruling our nation.
We are sick of watching the “opposition” Republicans stand meekly by and let the Democrats get away with lie after atrocious lie. It happened again on Tuesday in the wake of the terrible explosion on Monday night at the Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada that killed seven of our precious Marines.
It is clear that there is no scummy depth to which the Democrats will not descend in their wicked efforts to advance their tyrannical, socialist-communist agenda, and there is no event, no matter how awful, that they will not hesitate to exploit. So, the despicable creature, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, on Tuesday jumped with all-fours onto the horrific explosion in Nevada to insinuate that sequester cuts had something to do with it. This is breathtakingly vile.
Speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday morning, Reid said:
Mr. President, it's very important we continue training our military, so important. But one of the things in sequester is we cut back in training and maintenance. That's the way sequester was written. Now, the bill that's on the floor, we hope to pass today helps that a little bit. At least in the next six months, it allows the military some degree of ability to move things around a little bit. Flexibility, we call it, and that's good. But we have to be very vigilant. This sequester should go away. We have cut already huge amounts of money in deficit reduction. It's just not appropriate, Mr. President, that our military can't train and do the maintenance necessary.
These men and women, our Marines were training there in Hawthorne. And with this sequester, it's going to cut back this stuff. I just hope everyone understands the sacrifices made by our military. They are significant, being away from home, away from families, away from their country.
What a vicious louse! How dare he use these Marines, who had been dead for barely a day, to push his detestable big-government schemes?! How dare he lie about the cause of their deaths?!
These Democrats and Obama are so obsessed with growing government spending that they are pathologically fixated on the sequester, which doesn’t even represent any real cuts in government spending! These power-gluttons are insane!
I tried to find stories of Republicans strongly denouncing Harry Reid’s sick statements and calling him out for the worm-dirt scoundrel he is, but the only story I found was a Washington Times piece reporting that Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) spoke against Reid’s statements:
Republican Sen. Tom Coburn on Wednesday accused Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of “political manipulation” when he suggested a fatal training exercise that killed seven Marines was due to the sequester cuts.
“It’s tragic that he would even connect the two,” Mr. Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, told Fox News. “It’s another unfortunate aspect of words being spoken to try to gain a political advantage rather than doing the right, best thing for the country.”
After a Tuesday explosion at ammunitions depot in Hawthorne, Nev., killed the Marines, Mr. Reid, a Nevada Democrat, bemoaned on the Senate floor that “our military can’t train and do the maintenance necessary” with the sequester in place.
... But Mr. Coburn said such a notion was nonsense because “our military forces don’t put their troops at risk” during training.
“They’re not going to train if they don’t have the proper equipment and time,” he said.
... Mr. Coburn also accused President Obama of playing politics with the sequester, saying he wants the cuts “to be painful so he can make the case that we need bigger government, larger government, that we cannot cut the things that we should be cutting.”
While what Mr. Coburn said is true, and I’m glad he at least said something against Reid and Obama, it still remains that what Reid said warranted a much more fiery response. What Harry Reid said was not “tragic” or “unfortunate.” What Reid said was evil.
The American people are starving for principled conservatives (or even backboned Republicans) to stand up against these wretched commie Democrats and simply tell it like it is, to fearlessly call a spade a spade, to man-up and tell the nation the truth about what the Left is doing. We are sick of wimpy, effeminate reactions to the aggressively tyrannical, anti-freedom, anti-Americanism of the ruling Left, which sadly, does include a number of “Republicans.”
Conservatives and Republicans in Washington seem to be afraid of their own shadows. They are afraid of media reaction. They are afraid of being called “mean-spirited” by the very people who have cornered the market on meanness. Why should the Republicans give a rip what the trolls of the Left say about them? Oh, I know the answer: power, money and reelection are often more important than principles and the well-being of our nation.
Republicans could even get some pointers from the boldness of the Democrats. While the Democrats stand and tell the most phenomenal lies, say the stupidest things and lob the most fantastic accusations at Republicans, at least they always do it with aggressive fervor.
Republicans are already maligned by the lying Left and the Left’s shameless media mouthpieces, and nothing the Republicans say will make the media “like” them, so, why not bravely stand up to Obama and the Democrats? Why not say what millions of fed-up Americans are wishing they would say?
Why not take a lesson from national talk radio host, Mark Levin? As the Washington Times reported on Wednesday, Levin had this to say about Harry Reid and his evil remarks about the dead Marines and sequester:
“It was grotesque,” Mr. Levin said. “And Harry Reid, you’re the lowest of the low-lives, you know that? You really are at the bottom of the sewer, all the time on every issue. … You are just a very ill human being. And the fact that you’re the Senate majority leader says an awful lot about the Democrats in the Senate. … We deserve better than this man. He is a vicious stupid man.”
Mr. Levin also called Mr. Reid a “miscreant” and a “no talent politician” with a “low I.Q.”
Ah, that’s better. And, oh how it does cleanse the mental palate to hear the truth about these rats plainly spoken!
Now, if only we can get the Mitch McConnells and the John Boehners out there to talk like this to the commie Democrats, then we just might get somewhere.
Republicans are just Democrats in sheep clothing.
Just like the Moslem Brotherhood is al Qaeda in
sheep clothing. And the Republicans, worse,
support al Qaeda from Libya, to Egypt, to Syria,
to the Mexican Border.
America needs conservatives, not Republican clowns
and traitors.
It’s inescapable, giving Harry Reid’s use of the situation, that Obama’s agents managed to put a defective artillery round in the ammunition stores used in training.
Funny, I’m studying that fruit of the Spirit right now. I think Christians (to say nothing of Republicans) could use a little gentleness, and dare I say it? Love!
At appropriate times. Right now I’m putting a downpayment on that sword and buckler!

IMHO, the Republican Party is circling the bowl.
The 4-million conservatives who stayed at home in NOV as a response to Dem-Lite at the top of the Republican ticket is likely to grow as the GOP-e runs away from the core principles that once defined the party. At this point, I believe the Democrats will regain the House in 2014 given the way the Republicans have acted since being elected to the majority in 2010.
Republicans = Democrats-Lite
The red meat craving Republican base has grown rather tired of the GOP-E tofu candidates.
When your dealing with dangerous animals you need to have something just as dangerous.We need Republicans who can stand for something and then fight for what they believe in.Without cowering and surrendering to our enemies the democrats.
We need some devil dogs.
No kidding. I'd settle for a flounder. It would be a step up from a dead flounder.

Why did it take so long for someone to say it.
I agree with this article - we will never get ahead being sweet and complimenting the rival in a debate. Our potential leaders need to speak out and fight. We actually need to change them ALL out, especially anybody over 60. Haven’t we had enough? We are just getting overtaken here.
WHAT IN THE WORLD CAN WE DO? tHEY ARE THROWING OUR MONEY AWAY !!!!!!!
John McCain is rarely polite, gentle or quiet and he is a Republican.
Yes, gentleness is one of the "fruits of the Spirit" for Christians, but we need more of "Jesus in the temple with the money-changers"--in other words, righteous indignation--when it comes to our mamby-pamby "Republican" politicians. Our God-given freedoms and the soul of our nation is falling into the abyss.
John McCain is not on "our side." He's a Democrat in RINO clothing.
With the untimely death of Lee Atwater, the gutless GOP lost the only one who could take the liberal BS and give it back in spades to the Dems. Maybe Ted Cruz can fill his shoes.
I think you’re correct when it comes to those guys. I think we can be much more meek about it though. Not because they’re our authority, because they aren’t, but because it’s Christian.
I’ve often struggled with how we approach our wicked government based on the many scriptural admonitions to submit to authority. However, I realized that WE are the authority and the government needs to submit to us. We’re sinning by not putting them in place. We’re like David who wouldn’t “displease his children” We have higher moral ground than the forefathers.
Right-on!
