Take Your Olive Branch and Shove It, Democrats
Gouverneur Times ^ | 11-3-10 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 11/03/2010 6:08:00 AM PDT by chickadee

On the eve of a historic midterm election upheaval, President Barack Obama tried to walk back his gratuitous slap at Americans who oppose his radical progressive agenda. "I probably should have used the word 'opponents' instead of 'enemies' to describe political adversaries," Obama admitted Monday. "Probably"?

Here is an ironclad certainty: It's too little too late for the antagonist-in-chief to paper over two years of relentless Democratic incivility and hate toward his domestic "enemies." Voters have spoken: They've had enough. Enough of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner's rhetorical abuse. Enough of his feints at bipartisanship. Whatever the final tally, this week's turnover in Congress is a GOP mandate for legislative pugilism, not peace. Voters have had enough of big government meddlers "getting things done." They are sending fresh blood to the nation's Capitol to get things undone.

“I probably should have used the word ‘opponents’ instead of ‘enemies’ to describe political adversaries,”

Note the use of the word “word”. He is not saying he does not believe them to be the enemy, just that he used the wrong word to state his feelings. He should have said I should never describe anyone in the political opposition as an enemy...no, the ass just says he should not have used that word.

Hey (o)bama, stay in India with your entourage.

It wasn't just national that conservatives won.

What a FANTASTIC night for Republicans in Tennessee!! Tennessee has gained 14 seats in the STATE House and 1 in the Senate. For the first time in history, Republicans control the House, Senate with a Republican Governor!! Congrats to all our candidates.

Won’t happen.

The Pubbies will be compromising with the Rats before the day is over.

All in the name of ‘bi-partisanship’.

So is this an example of a “Shove-It Ready” article?

The Pubbies better find their spine and guts immediately. We are at War for our survival as a free nation. Yesterday was but the first battle.

Our troops don’t hang their heads, cry and whine, and make nice when they lose a battle. They regroup and fight harder and destroy more of the enemy next time.

Congratulations, Tennessee. We had the same good fortune in Wisconsin.

I would like to say something about the fact that the Republicans didn’t take the Senate. I see this as a good thing. This keeps the conservative grass roots “hungry” and gives them some leverage with the entrenched GOP leadership. If the tea parties remain active, they have plenty of time to find really good candidates for 2012. I hope they don’t dissipate their energy by spending too much time and $$$ trying to influence the selection of the GOP presidential candidate. The real power is in the states and in the Congress - as it is, or can be, ongoing. The ruling class Repubs will probably make their last stand in the nomination of the GOP presidential candidate. Meanwhile, the grass roots could capture the machinery, if they remain focused.

Take Your Olive Branch and Shove It, Democrats

Then the Republican House had better start passing the kind of legislation that the electorate wants. It may not go anywhere in the Democratic Senate but that can't be a reason not to try. Start with real budgets, real spending cuts, real shrinkage in the size of government, and let the Democrats be the party of 'No' for a while.

The results are repudiation of the 0bama, Reid, Pelosi regime's agenda and the dims' definition of offering an olive branch is for the GOP to ben over and kow-tow to emperor 0bamao!

If you are one of 0bama's "enemies", then you are a Patriot!

In my district Vicky Hartzler beat Ike Skelton in the 4th.

She was on the radio this morning telling the interviewer the first thing she was was going to do was try to stop the insane spending and repeal obama care.
