Fellow Southerners, how much more of this BS humiliation do we have to take before we call it quits and go our own way? HOW MUCH MORE???

Without doing a thing to deserve it, the “R’s” are going to back into a majority in ‘10.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And if they do, we have to hold their feet to the fire and remind them (on an hourly basis if necessary) that it is NOT ‘business as usual’ and their only duty is to UNdo the damage that has been done to our Constitution by the current regime *AND* past Administrations as well.
If we’re not going to live by the Constitution, we might as well buy bananas, as whatever “people’s republic” we end up with will have that as it’s political symbol.
Wise and sage words FRiend.
Thank You.
The GOP is as statist as the ‘Rats. They had Congress for two decades and spent just as recklessly.
Tea Party 2012.
And .. just this morning Newt was on FOX bashing Palin .. although very carefully. I could tell by what he said that he was trying to send a msg that “she” was not acceptable to the RINO’s as a candidate in 2012 (even if they know she can win), because she’s NOT ONE OF THEM.
I used to have a lot of regard for Newt, but sadly, I do not support him anymore, and especially not for any elected office. He may be smart - but he’s missing the true anger of the public.
He kept saying Sarah was a “celebrity” and that she could have a good life with that status .. and it would be a lot less work than running for President.
Yet, she has more “governing” experience than Obama .. but Newt never makes that comment about Obama being a “celebrity”. I think the RINO’s are terrified of her and her influence on the American people.
My money’s on Sarah. She’s a whole lot smarter than the RINO’s are giving her credit.

The word also needs to get out that this treasonous behaviour will be prosecuted and punished as treason when the people evict these scum from congress. Moreover, since these scum have lost all fear of whether or not they get re-elected, we need to determine exactly why they have lost this fear. Otherwise we will face this power-grab again and again. Yeah we all know they end up with consultancy/lobbying jobs, but we need to begin prosecutions of obvious ethics violations against these soon to be ex-congressmen, their spouses, and relatives. Corruption has become so endemic in Congress, we can expect little change from anyone we send there, until we stop their ability to profit from their time in congress, else the republic will surely be lost.
On the other side of the political divide, the DNC acts in the service of Progressive causes because it is tethered, financially and otherwise to a vast left-wing network composed of private organizations, unions, government officials, foundations, media outlets and individuals.
Republicans have no such infrastructure on which to rely, and thus lack a coherent strategy or message which might otherwise be advanced by a dominant and dynamic party leadership, which is also absent at the present time.
Well .. that’s not exactly true.
While they did spend .. a lot of it was FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ - should we be angry about that ..?? I don’t think so.
And .. while we’re pointing fingers, Obama has spent more in ONE YEAR - THAN ALL THE OTHER PRESIDENTS PUT TOGETHER.
So .. let’s not be so willing to hang the GOP just yet.
I’d vote for most of the GOP any day over a dem. The majority of GOP’ers have no plans to subvert the current system of govt .. while the majority of dems do. Let’s not allow a few left-leaning GOP’ers ruin the whole batch.
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

AMEN!!!
THANK YOU!!
It IS treason. EVERY Republican in power should be screaming bloody murder over what the socialist bastards are doing to our country.
Their stupid silence is just as bad as the silence of the so called “moderate muslims”, they give approval to the rape of the constitution by not bravely speaking out.
We need more Reverend Mannings!!
Good points, although I noticed that when referring to the GOP, you continually refer to them as ‘they’. Does that mean that you aren’t involved in your local or state party?
Seriously, it’s much easier than most people think. Here in our county, conservatives have taken over the party apparatus by getting involved and working. It was easy, because the RINOS who ran it before didn’t do any work, and were quite willing to step aside and let the workers take over. Now the conservative workers are in charge, with a conservative party chairman. If that happened all over the country, the McCain’s and Crists of the world would never get to first base.
It’s up to conservatives to put their money, and time, where their mouths are. Attending a TEA PARTY rally is great, but it’s uselss if you don’t follow up and really get involved.
How do you think the extreme left took over the Democrat Party?

When I say ‘they’, I’m referring to the GOP at the national level, specifically the RNC.
Congrats on your local successes! I’m involved, believe that.
