> I never lose hope, as I believe that all of us on Free Republic all have that hope and spunk that she had.
I plan to channel my efforts and energies into 2010 and 2012 victories and beyond. (Thatcher got three terms, proving that it wasn’t a fad.) <
Thank you. I hope everyone can look forward with determination and with hope. We will fight on, and unless I miss my guess, there will be a huge groundswell of action to literally replace the rot in our Congress and in the White House.
And vice versa.
Reading all posts with interest.
It will only get bigger and more stifling as time goes on.
I can see Reid and Pelosi in white smocks, tears in
their eyes, saying....
“It’s Alive, It’s ALIVE!”.
Of course later it ends up killing a little girl
but so what.
“the Democrats’ actions as ‘political suicide’ is somewhat inaccurate. It would be more apt to call it ‘political hari-kari’, as the Democrats believe that passing this legislation is the honorable thing to do”
Garbage. They think it will create enough government dependence quickly enough that it will secure their hold on power. And they think the pork and deals in it will serve the same purpose until that comes about.
Sadly, they may be right.
Bingo! You nailed it!
Christmas always reminds me of the time I discovered there was no Santa Claus. I woke up around 1 a.m., and wandered from my bed into the living room where I found my dad in his pajamas laying out presents under the tree. He told me to go back to bed, and I did - but I was crushed to see the illusion destroyed.
So much so, it still bugs me - and it happened ages ago. Well, more like a year, and it really wasn't my dad - it was a drifter I picked up in a Port Authority restroom - but the story still stands as a metaphor for health care.
Like a make believe Santa, the Democrats came in at one am, sliding down the chimney with a bag full of crap. Like a phony Santa, the health care bill cannot arrive in broad daylight - or you'll expose the illusion. The same thing can be said for that "non-binding legal agreement" Obama took with him from Copenhagen. He should have just brought us clogs.
And you know, both examples are a lot like the type of gifts you get from selfish relatives who really wanted the gifts themselves.
A. The health care bill is like a puppy. The purchaser buys it for himself, really -as an ego boost to see how excited the kids gets. Then of course, the gift-giver is nowhere in sight when it's time to paper train and feed the money-sucking furball. That's health care - except health care reform will crap over more than just the carpet.
B. The climate change agreement is a less destructive but utterly hopeless kind of present - it's a gift card for a store you want nothing from. Think Sharper Image, except everything needs to be wound up before it falls apart. Just because Uncle Gore owns stock in it, he thinks you should be grateful. Believe me, that gift card is going nowhere except the drawer where you keep the stray UNO cards.
The upside with Christmas?
You can return everything.
If we could only do the same with this crud.
And if you disagree with me, you're probably a homophobic, planet-hating racist.
(to the sound of crickets chirping in the background) Yeah you would think the GOP would want to make that distinction...(back to the sound of crickets chirping in the background)
