I thought I might get your twisted minds to read this with that title, because what I shall discuss today is my insight into the swirling currents of strategy emanating from the Oval Office.
Without a doubt, the liberals and Democrats are outclassed at every turn. As demonstrated during the election season, the seeming reticence of the White House to defend itself is a stroke of genius, though the frustration and hair pulling on our parts as nonmembers of the inner circle is quite palpable. Yet, as we, who know our President only through the cameras of a hostile media... as we watch him confidently address crowd after crowd, audience after audience, there is no trace of anxiety in regards to his domestic agenda. It seems as if everything is going according to plan. With the strong inherent support that personal accounts have with the younger tax payers, there is little doubt that Social Security Reform will eventually prevail.
However, as the media onslaught on the President continues and the superficial vagaries of the liberal talking points embeds itself in the minds of the misinformed, one thing becomes imminently clear. The liberals and Democrats grow bolder with every passing day that the only rebuttals coming from the White House are variations on silence. And as the politicos, who style themselves as the Grand Viziers of the Liberal cause, grow bolder and more brash in their attacks on the President's policy, they stake out more and more tenuous positions. They open their daily issue of the New York Times and pat themselves on their backs, sometimes reaching over to pat the backs of fellow obstructionists, and they fall further into the trap set for them by the President.
For the silence that emanates from the White House is not an admission of defeat, in the face of overwhelming opposition from the press and from the Democratic Party. It is, in fact, an invitation to the guile-inept Democrats who cheerfully jump on any perceived weakness, and who are incapable of understanding that they are the prey, and that George W. Bush is a predator with the stratagems of one born into politics, but not tainted by it.
The President appears to be a master of the poker face, and when he's done letting the Democrats and Liberals continue to up the ante, he'll call their sordid blustering, discard his bluffing face, and lay out a hand that will leave the liberals both disgruntled and whining... about how Karl Rove was somehow behind their abject stupidity. Because no liberal can adequately take responsibility for things they are personally responsible for... that is the words that issue from their own mouths. Such maturity is to be expected from everybody but themselves, for such is the divine, the unspoken command of the liberal creed.
If I am proven right, we will know around the end of the summer. Strategically, that will be when the liberals and Democrats will have tried the patience of America with their filibustering and their obstructionism. When the heat of summer has taken its toll on the general population. It is when the Democrats will be the most vulnerable to a self-correction of attitude. When America will be looking for a change in outlook. When positivism and optimism should have its greatest effect. An argument with liberals at their most reasonable, which is always early on in an argument, is pointless, because the one who shouts the loudest is the winner. Yet, when one allows for liberals to stake out their territory in indefensible regions, the balance of power in an argument shifts. The hysterical and defensive will lose always to the reasonable. And if anything was proven in this past election, it was shown that hysterical and panicked liberals tends to cause an increase in conservative voter turnout. A phenomena that Democrats in seats primed for challenge in 2006 should be imminently aware of as they decide which way to jump in the waning days of summer.
I'm of the opinion that everybody needs a pick me up from time to time. The howling and screeching harpies on the left tend to wear us down sometimes.
Enjoy!
That said. . .do have to take exception with the following. . .
"Such maturity is to be expected from everybody but themselves, for such is the divine, the unspoken command of the liberal creed."
Nothing 'divine' about the Liberal creed. . .no. . .not even close. They just can't go there. ;^)
I agree with this post. I would add to the list of whining harpies some of our friends on the right.
The divine reference was a poke at their anti-religious mentality.
If you examine the liberal belief structure and intolerance of contradictory evidence, you'll see that they are a fundamentalist movement with all the earmarks of a religion gone awry.
Anti-religious fervor.... almost an oxymoron when one observes the way in which liberals submit all basic human values of freedom, liberty, and life to an ideology that supposedly exalts these values.
Just as Christianity has its share of extremist nuts who have used illogical means to subjugate morality to serve a greater good, the present day incarnation of liberalism has applied the same illogical reasoning to their creed, thereby exalting their need to gain dominance over the values on which their ideology was founded upon.
At least, in Christianity, we allow for a great deal of variety in our doctrines, and praise moderation, and expect moderation from our congregation to the larger extent. Liberals, like the Muslim Extremists, do not praise moderation, but consider moderates weak and sinful, though liberals shy from using the latter to describe moderates. Instead, liberals will label all moderates, even moderates to the left of center as conservatives.
So, my use of the words "divine" and "creed" were intentional, because I view modern day liberalism as a modern day religion with the maturity of 7th century Islam, or even times in the past history of Christianity, when the teachings of Christ were subjugated to serve political purposes, rather than the salvation of human kind.
Christianity and Conservatism have undergone their Reformations. Liberalism and Islam still have theirs waiting in the wings somewhere. Hopefully, both discover a conscience... otherwise, this will be a long century indeed.
Yes, 'divine' works. . .
. . .as for holding hope that Liberalism will experience a second coming; I think it simply is. . .what it is. . .no clogged pipeline to the divine. . .just 'anti-divine'. . .'anti-God'. . .'anti-good'. . .an idiology which denies the individual. . .denies his right to be free.
The irony, of course, is that they imagine they are godlike. . .if only slightly 'lesser gods'. . .as they make their vain attempts to re-create the world in their own image while believing they have every right to act on their assumptions, that your life is not your own.
Liberalism; as we know it. . .is planted. . .rooted in the negative. . .and so it grows.
