I started out My political life campaigning for Barry Goldwater. I don't need to validate My party loyalty. When I don't like the way We are going, however, the party is going to hear from Me. This is one of those times. I say nothing on this forum that I would not say, in person, to President Bush, in fact, I have said a lot of it, to Jeb, in a phone conversation a number of years ago. Part of the conversation involved My opinion that We were going to lose the election if We didn't cut the crap, and guess who was right?
I see no reason for importing people, who, upon attaining citizenship, are going to vote against most of what I hold sacred, I likely won't be around long, but My Kids and Grandkids will.
If We do not stop the trend toward liberalism, the next step is an ungovernable society, and tyranny. It may be inevitable anyway, but I will have no part in creating the situation.
The only reasons I am not out patrolling the border are that I am not healthy and young enough, and My old Jeep is unlikely to make it that far.
As far as Second Amendment issues go, things have already gone too far to be considered constitutionally proper, and if Republicans will not defend the Constitution, who will?
I am just one of the hidden Redneck Republicans, but just as much aboard as any of You CEO folks. I have dreams about the future of My Kids, just like You do, and I'll be Damned before I can't speak out when I have an opinion. I suspect that everyone here still has to put on one sock at a time, but if I'm wrong I'd like to see a demonstration.
Excellent comments. Thanks.
