Is hatred a sufficient basis for a political party in this country? Americans prefer a positive message that proposes solutions and looks towards the future, not a party of just NO!

"Come together bound by a common hatred" is coming together or uniting against something or someone. This is possible.

But, the problem is the ability to unite for someone or something.

The conservatives are destined to be the no people. All the other voters are out of control kids with no morals or discipline. Of course the conservative agenda is dead for the for the next 30 years until the country swings back from the temper tantrum - if at all.

But we ARE for something, if you think about it.

We are for the sanctity of life.

We are for the freedom of the individual to proceed in their affairs unmolested by the Government, so long as they leave others alone.

We are for the rights of property owners to be the stewards of their property as they see fit.

We are for developing our own energy resources, conventional and cutting-edge so there will be opportunity for growth and development.

We are for securing our borders against invasion by those who are not of us who would gorge at our table but not so much as knock at the door.

We are for the individual having the freedom to enjoy the fruits of their labors, to use and dispose of those as they see fit, without the hand of Government dipping deeply to take them and distribute them to those who would not labor.

What more empowerment do you want???

Angry?

Hell yes! I am angry that we allow ourselves to even be portrayed as a party of "no" when all we stand for enhances the liberty of Americans, instead of those who masquerade as liberators the whole time they are hammering the links of bondage around our children's minds, backs, and wallets.

Who are the slavers and who are the liberators?It is Conservatives who value Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, who reverently thank whatever God they know for those opportunities and having been either born here or able to come here and partake of this feast of Liberty!

Those who deceive, who paint us not as the guardians of Liberty, but as enslavers are themselves those who would slaughter the child in the womb, who would tax the prosperity of those who labor to give away for their own ends, who use the public coffers to buy votes, and who ignore or treat with disdain the very foundations of the Rule of Law of this Republic, our Constitution.

There is no shame nor evil in calling those who desire liberty to be attendant to the responsibilities which come with that selfsame liberty, and I would contend that those who claim Conservatives are a party of just "NO!" seek a different and false freedom, not the freedom of having responsibility, but the freedom from responsibility. Which is the essence of the liberal victimhood mindset, where it is always someone else's fault, and the individual is the victim of things beyond their control.

I would contend that is not the case, that those who would be free, truly free, need to embrace the responsibility for their situation because that alone will empower them to change it.

YMMV!
