Well, I don’t care what kind of group is against Ryan’s appeasement plan, I am too.
What I want to know is: “Am I just a complete clueless dumbass who doesn’t know sh!t from shinola about listening to someone who SAYS conservative stuff running for office (Ryan, Rubio, et al)?” How can I be that wrong, so terribly wrong from just 7-8 months ago.
Am I just a dumbass, or do these so-called conservative icons just lie their ass off?
WRT politicians of any stripe. When in doubt always refer to the old adage:
Q: “how do you know when a politician is lying?”
A: when their lips are moving.
Conservatives tend to take others (who call themselves conservatives) at their word.
I heard Glenn Beck this morning talking about embracing George Bush fully and completely in his run for the Presidency
......and then about 2006..7 going 'uh oh, something's not right with him'......
...and that's when Bush started selling us out......no doubt his plan all along.
We just wanted to believe him.....and 9/11 2001 probably obfuscated (to us) his future plans against us.
Gaffer, I don’t know how old you are but I can tell you one of the benefits of mature age is greater wisdom. I have wisdom now, have prayed for it and received it in spades as a blessing.
I saw the phony Ryan last year and tried to point it out to folks on FR. But the few Ryan fans kept on going about how great he was. My warnings were ineffective.
The flipside of wisdom is frustration. When you become wise and can clearly see things as wisdom indicates, you can become very frustrated at those without wisdom.
So I see both happening in you. Wisdom is settling in on you, frustration is rearing itself in you as well.
The best way to be is quiet and responsive. When the clueless, unwise or inexperienced turn to or glance at you for wisdom, quietly explain. If they pay no heed, don’t show frustration, show calm. They will come back to you. Eventually they will listen to you.
