The Republican Party, the Party of Reagan has been nearly smothered and suffocated by the RINO-virus which has spread more rapidly than any swine flu pandemic, the GOP has been infected from the top down, and IF it is to avoid the fate of the Bull Moose Party, the principles of Reagan conservatism must be re-established, the fair weather collaborators and Quislings (that means YOU Juan McCain and your butt buddy Lindsey 'Goober' Graham!) MUST be driven out and banished and if they join up with the traitorous 'Rats, so be it. Force them to show their true colors.
The Republican National Committee is a major part of the problem. They are mentally entrenched in that ‘go along to get along’ attitude and there is no point in trying to change or reform them. The entire RNC needs to be scrapped, new blood brought in, and start with a clean slate. Michael Steele should be the first one to go, he has been an abysmal failure as Chairman. Ken Blackwell of Ohio would have made a far better Chairman and might yet.
The RNC should be waging 100 percent, 24 hour a day, 7 day a week partisan warfare against the 0bamunist regime and their media lackeys. The spotlight should be kept continuously on Nasty Pelosi and her fascist behavior, ditto for that clown Steny Hoyer. The entire body of House Republicans should be doing everything possible to obstruct, delay, and shut down the ‘Rat agenda and that means throwing everything including the damn kitchen sink at those traitors.
And they should USE that word TRAITOR, for what we see in the House (and the Senate for that matter) is *TREASON*, any piece of legislation which violates the Constitution, which infringes upon the rights of We The People, constitutes TREASON and the word should go out, to the treacherous ‘Rats, to their 0bamunist fellow travelers, to the America-hating left, that TREASON will not be condoned nor tolerated, and we will fight tooth and nail to stop them by any means necessary.
We have witnessed over the past year a fascist regime of questionable legality taking over private businesses, dictating who will, and who will not be permitted to run those businesses, 0bamunist thugs literally attacking good and decent Americans exercising their right to oppose the government’s proposed health care grab, the parallel with Germany of the 1930s cannot be denied by any thinking American.
If the Republican Party is to save America, they have to start by demonstrating that they are NOT going to be part of the ‘business as usual’ garbage as they have been in the past. Otherwise they will seal their own political doom by forcing good conservative Republicans and Independents to form a Third Party. Ronald Reagan himself, a former Democrat said "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me", and there is no shame in emulating the Gipper's wisdom, courage and principles.
The time for ‘bipartisanship’ is over. I reiterate; NOW is the time for ruthless, cutthroat, PARTISAN POLITICAL WARFARE, with no holds barred, no prisoners taken, and it must be waged with utter savagery because the stakes could not possibly be higher.
The stakes are the restoration of our American Republic, or to watch it descend into a socialistic/Communist cesspool from which we may never emerge.
That is what we are faced with.
God save our American Republic.
Well reasoned. Good job!
Here is my take on Iraq.
I would have had no problem taking out Hussein, and all his scum sucking administration. Then LEAVE!
As for the current conflict, fighting a highly regulated, restricted P C war is just McNamara redux. Bring em all the hell home tomorrow!!
I agree with you. The fact is, we should have taken out Saddam like the garbage he was in the FIRST Gulf War, if Bush-RINO #1 hadn’t gone wobbly and ended up shafting the Kurds by not finishing the job.
IIRC, Swartzkopf was amenable to same, but Colin Powell, ever the weak minded leader, talked Bush out of it, leaving Norm to flail in the wind.
True enough, I remember reading of Stormin’ Norman’s literal amazement at how things turned out, not at ALL what he had envisioned.
Norm learned his lessons in Nam, and quite vocally stated that under his watch, it will not be repeated. It wasn’t.
Haunting words from Maggie “ This is no time to go wobbly “
Rabs, how would you go about UNtangling us? Seriously.
Okay, well, I have to get some actual work done soon, so I'm going to try to make this reply a bit short.
One, "no foreign entanglements" doesn't necessarily imply taking a completely hands off approach to the rest of the world, since there always exists the possibility that a foreign power might antagonize the United States first or attempt to overcome our defensive advantages, namely that of our geographic isolation relative to much of the world, i.e., Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa.
Example: during the First World War, in 1917, the German government sent a now-infamous telegram to its Embassy in Washington which was forwarded to its Embassy in Mexico City. Ever hear of it? I did--in my U.S. history public school coursework, but then again, I didn't go to normal public schools. (My seventh-grade U.S. history teacher was one of the old guard who believed in requiring her students to actually memorize and publicly recite passages from important U.S. documents. Anyways, enough of a digression!) Basically, the German government attempted to form an alliance with the Mexican government against the U.S. government, even though the latter was a neutral power in the War, by promising the return of territory taken by the U.S. after the Mexican-American War (think James K. Polk here).
So, obviously, the U.S. must be a dominant power (the regional "hegemon") in the Americas, where it doesn't have geographic isolation.
And yes, I would consider an incident such as the Zimmerman telegram of 1917 potential grounds for war, if a peaceful and diplomatic resolution could not be reached in a very prompt manner.
As for the rest of the world, there are several vectors of attack: one, by air or space, or by computer network; two, by mail or shipping; three, by sending a passenger; or four, by deliberately inducing an event in the United States from a non-U.S. location.
The first one can be resolved by maintaining an active and technologically-advanced Air Force and the appropriate intelligence agencies to manage satellite networks and other space technologies.
The second one can be resolved by actually inspecting every parcel and container as it enters the United States, whether at seaports or airports, as well as maintaining a Coast Guard.
The third one can be resolved by having a Border Guard and appropriate immigration services.
The fourth...well, there's not really that much that can be done for that one, other than try not to make the Citizens too dependent on their Government, so that when it fails, they can assume responsibility for themselves.
Two, with regards to Iraq, and in general, any war, if it must happen then clearly define the objectives, adhere to them, and go for it. The problem with Iraq is that no one likes to talk about Saddam's alleged (and now largely non-existent) WMDs any more, even though they were the primary justification for the war from the onset and that the Bush administration engaged in politically correct pussyfooting and nation-building, thereby muddying the waters as to exactly what constituted "winning" (i.e., when all the stated objectives have been accomplished).
...and a Navy.
I wrote that last part in, edited it out when I was rearranging a paragraph, and forgot to add it back in.
You cannot be an isolationist and be a WORLD SUPER POWER .. the two don’t have any relation to each other.
Your way is okay for some middle-of-the-road country .. but not for the GREATEST NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
The only reason that the United States is "great" is because of individual freedom, not because of military or other prowess (i.e., that "superpower" status you mentionedo).
Without freedom, we're about as good as Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, the Empire of Japan, the Ottoman Empire, or any of the other major or "super" powers that have littered the course of human events.
You’ve got that right!

The deliberate setup for the White House power grab is built into the each of the health care bills and, if they fail, little-known twin bills called “MedPAC Reform of 2009” are waiting in the wings. The bills, S.B. 1110 and H.R. 2718, craftily amend the Social Security Act and transfer the Medicare guideline and rule setting processes, from the legislative branch to the executive branch. These bills offer cover to one another in case one doesn’t pass the House or Senate, respectively. Remember, Democrats need to gain executive branch authority by amending the Social Security Act over Medicare regulations and physician fee schedules to transform the health care system in a single-payer, socialized system.

I suggest freepers read this again.

“And I would say that with the RINO-Quisling collaborators infesting our government, working hand-in-glove with the 0bamunist regime, that we are well on our way to joining those former world powers. “
You are both spot on!
Well .. I wasn’t talking about “individual freedom” .. so I guess you should give your answer to somebody else.
