Years ago I was talking to an uncle who happens to be a martial arts expert. He told me a story about being in a bar when a man started beating the heck out of his girlfriend. My uncle being my uncle, he intervened and separated the two. As he’s standing there confronting the abuser, he was attacked from behind by the girlfriend…
You hear about things like this all the time, a version of what is called “Abused Woman Syndrome” where a woman is abused by a man but continues to stay with him, and as in the story above, often defend him. Often the woman’s friends and family try and convince her that he’s bad for her, but while she admits he has his flaws, she loves him and she knows things are going to get better.
Conservatives in America today find themselves in a situation similar to the one my uncle did, but the difference is, it’s not battered women that we face, but rather it’s battered liberals, and the abusers are the politicians in the Democrat Party. And while the liberals continue to stay in and empower the relationship, it’s everyone in the country who gets abused.
The Democrats have been abusing the American people for decades, and we have the scars to prove it:
Education in the United States is a train wreck. We spend more than any country on the planet on education and yet we trail most of the developed world in math, science and reading scores. Not only are students not learning the basics, but more importantly they are not learning to compete in, survive in and thrive in the real, competitive world.
Prosperity and economic growth are being strangled. In the 1950’s when the Federal Register (list of federal regulations) averaged less than 10,000 pages a year the American economy grew at an average annual rate of 4.6% a year (after inflation) – at which rate it would take you 15 years to double your income. Over the last decade when the Federal Register has weighed in at 78,000 pages a year, GDP growth has shrunk to 1.5% annually – at which rate it would take you 48 years to double your income. That means that the GDP growth – read prosperity – has declined by 65% as the Federal Register has grown by 800%.
The number of people on welfare is greater than the number of working people. The workforce is at its lowest level in three decades and those among the Democrat base (women, minorities and youth) are the most adversely affected by all of these issues.
On these and a myriad of other issues the Democrats have been abusing the American people (and in particular their own base) for decades. Nonetheless, when faced with the evidence of the Democrats abuse in the form of failed policies, they always have an excuse. Republicans want to cut education or kill Grandma or destroy the environment or let companies abuse their employees, etc. etc.. And of course the Republicans hate women, workers, blacks, immigrants and basically everyone who’s not rich and white.

We do, however, have the right to complain, moan, groan, bitch and bellyache when our "choice" has feet of clay...and a brain to match.
And we are the very BEST country in the world, before, now and henceforth! What does that say about the rest of the world?
I do believe that is the VERY first time in my life that I used the word "henceforth" because I couldn't think of another word to replace it. Am I getting old or what?
Other things drive sheeperals’ support than “what works”.
The desire to feel good about themselves as righteous and superior,
and they desire more to put down conservatives.
nope
nope, because liberals will insist that they just need to try again and it will work no matter how insane it is.
Exactly. Charlie Brown kept falling for kicking the football.
Not enough money was used. We need another trillion dollars.
Indeed, progressism is about adding insanity to what comes out insane. It truly is a mental disease of death spiral pride, like the drunk who claims he is not drunk and drinks some more to fix it.
“Not everything goes better with batter.”
short answer. no. he’s black so they’ll never abandon him.
As he’s standing there confronting the abuser, he was attacked from behind by the girlfriend…

Same thing happened to a brother-in-law of mine many years ago. It was on the street, though, and not in a bar.
Wouldn’t this describe conservatives relationship with the Republican party pretty well, also?
Because they will continue to try, try again -because if we just put MORE MONEY into it, THIS TIME it will WORK.
It only Didn't Fully Succeed (failed) because we did not fund it enough! *sniff!* *wipes tears from eyes*
The rich need to pay more! (/sarc)
Of course, the "rich" is defined as anyone who has more money than them...
