Can’t a guy take a vacation without the nay-sayin ninnies of negativity taking over this place?
As the self-appointed optimist of this forum, I must say that I am more than a little P-Od over what I have been reading coming from the scared keyboards of some of you folks. You act as if someone stole your little Republican cookies and ate them in front of you.
Look, I know it’s not the best of times for Conservatives if you are concerned about spending or the protection of the borders. However, it escapes me why it seems impossible for some of you to take any note of the fact that despite everything you read and hear in the MSM today (including the Delay indictment) that we are winning on practically every measurable point.
Where is your confidence?
I make no bones of the fact that it makes me very happy whenever something occurs that makes liberals angry, sad, bitter or afraid, (which is true of them by default) , but liberal unease or unrest is not required for me to feel fine about the Conservative agenda.
It seems that whenever liberals have cause (no matter how stupid) to celebrate, it causes no end of angst and concern on this side of the aisle. Why is that? In fact I really enjoy the idea that liberals seem to think that they are playing a winning hand, because as long as they believe in that foolish notion, they won’t do the things that they actually could do to gain some ground against us.
But they won’t.
Why?
Because they are stupid, that’s why. And the fact that they are stupid should be enough to allow most of you to sleep better at night, like me. “Oh, you say the liberals are energized? Well, wake me when they get a clue, okay?”
I’ll begin to worry about liberals when they can actually propose a good idea for the country that does not involve raising my taxes, does not involve limiting my individual right to kill cute little animals and eat them, does not involve telling me what I can say, or who I can say it to, or is not about sharing the rights given me by the Constitution to non-citizens, or those who believe in two-penis marital bliss.
Oh yeah, I’m so scared.
You know when I’ll be scared? I’ll be scared when Democrats understand that lower tax rates increase government revenue. I’ll be scared when Democrats learn to love and appreciate the U.S. Military. It will frighten me when Democrats let Blacks off the plantation and let their children attend the schools of their choice with tax-supported dollars. It will frighten me when Democrats understand that their stupid little hybrid cars and eagle-killing windmills are not the answer to our energy needs, and begin to support drilling for oil wherever we find it in sufficient quantity.
Anyone heard a good idea from a Democrat (or liberal) lately? Let’s listen, shall we……
*crickets*
Nothing, folks. Nothing at all from these nuts.
But you do hear a lot of lies, don’t you? Now, if they were winning, would they have to lie about everything, all the time? Would they need to be propped up by a compliant media willing to turn their every thought into a reported attack on our side, no matter how ludicrous the accusation?
What is worse than the negativity from some of you is the stupid idea that the President actually needs to get down in the mud with these losers and fight back. Nothing could be more dumb and idea, and nothing would make the Democrats happier than to have the President out their responding to their worthless agenda.
Think about it like this:
If someone were to grab a knife and point it at you in anger, you would have righteous reason to kill them, would you not? Now, what if that person, instead of a knife, were to point a toothpick in your direction, as though they were going to kill you with that instead? Would you kill them, or just laugh at them?
You see, much of what you folks percieve as Democrat knives, are actually just little Democrat toothpicks, that cannot really harm anyone. A poke might sting a little, but how much damage could it really do, before you beat the toothpick wielding assailant to a bloody pulp?
I’ve said before, that the time to worry, is when the President is worried. Guess what, Freepers; he aint worried. Did anyone see any stress on the face of Tom Delay yesterday? I didn’t.
Try to remember sometimes that there is a big difference between heat and light. Democrats and liberals have lots of heat, but no light, which is why they are always running into things, crashing and burning. They get nowhere, they get nothing accomplished, they only give themselves more reason to be the pathetic, angry, bitter, victims they enjoy showing you every single day.
For once, if you are one of those who think that Bush needs better PR, ask yourself if you think he needs that PR in order for you to feel better each day, or because he needs to win more fights against Democrats. Then, ask yourself how many fights against Democrats our President has actually lost? Democrats decided long ago that they cant beat either Bush or Delay, to their best course of action would be to try to get rid of them as soon as they can. Democrats intend to make tons of accusations in the weeks and months to come, all geared towards legitmizign their stalwart opposition to the President’s agenda until they can find a way to replace him.
They are going to try to plant the idea in the populace that the Bush administation is corrupt and should not be trusted to lead. They intend to use that premise as an excuse to fillibuster the next Supreme court nominee (Luttig) and hold up every measure that they can to keep Bush from succeeding.
The Democrats are going to reach new levels of shame when they attempt to stop ANWAR drilling. It is going to be a fight for the ages, just you wait.
The point of all this, is that the only way that the Democrats can actually gain enough of a foothold to do damage to this administration, is if you negative bozos start parroting the liberals in your attacks on the President. If you are a finger-in-the-wind Republican, you are doing no one any favors when you fail to balance current obstructions and detours in the agenda with the unmistakable evidence that the Conservative agenda is still moving forward, winning victories all the time.
If you Freep solely for the purpose of sharing your insecurites with the world, just like a pussified liberal would do, I ask you to check yourself. If you cant sleep at night without sharing with all of us how you are more informed, more equipped and more able to fight this fight than the Bush administration, then don’t just check yourself, check yourself into a mental ward too.
Must I remind you that Republicans currently control about 85% of this government, and that Liberals control almost NOTHING? Do you need a scorecard to tell you that Al Gore is sitting somewhere eating twinkies in the dark, and John Kerry is still looking for swiss cheese on his cheesesteak, while George Bush is having breakfast in the White House?
And when the MSM tells you a lie, are you going to get mad and gripe like a little bitch, or are you going to steel your resolve and understand that if the other side needs to lie, then they have already lost the dammed war?
I don’t care if every day is a liberal flame-fest against the Conservative agenda, except for on election day. If it makes liberals happy to throw grenades at our side, let them come. Nobody ever one an election by screaming “DON’T VOTE FOR HIM!” You win elections be giving people reasons to VOTE FOR YOU!
If the liberals ever figure this out, then we might have cause for concern.
But they wont, because they are stupid.
And if you think we are losing, then so are you.
another one for the books!
you rock man!
I was bored after the second paragraph....so deal with it.
*************
LOL!! Good advice.
Another self anointed vanity.
yawn....
(kiddin' ;)
OUTSTANDING! Add me to your mighty band of optimists that are sick and tired of handwringers and naysayers -- the "doom and gloomers" (D&G's) and the "sky is falling crowd!"
Beautiful morning outside and now this this great vanity! Great morning!
Thanks for saying what a lot of us have been thinking!
Quite the negative rant, there, Pukin Dog.
Please have the mods "deal with it".
I'd have read your article, but I am much too depressed about the Republican party for that.
Nice rant. I agree. That's why I'm not doing as much Freeping as usual. I'm in an "accentuate the positive" mode these days.
And Hillary! is unstoppable! The people just love her! She will get the vote of every single woman and half the wussie men in the country! Once she is in the White House, she will impose National Health Care and disband the armed forces! Next thing you know, Mexico is going to take back California, and there will be nothing we can do about it!
We're DOOOOOOOOOMED!
I never spell check. That is for whiney sissies.
If you weren't so darned smart, (even if you think you are!!) you would read the whole article. Pukin' Dog makes some very valid points, and says it with aplomp! Maybe, my fellow freeper, you should deal with it too! :0)
Come on, Dog. Don't edit yourself, tell us what you really think.
;
Beautiful mornings always end in searing heat or bonechilling cold. Rain always follows, except when it snows. More people die on beautiful mornings than do people who die by falling into volcanoes.
Beautiful mornings are very depressing.
You can rant like no other.
Hmmm, my take on the FR reaction to the Delay indictment is not very many are worried about it, in fact, most think it will backfire on the dems as I do.
Some people aren't happy unless they have something to complain about. It's surprising to read so many negative comments from so-called conservatives. Thanks, for putting things in perspective, but the Pajama-wetters seem to outnumber us.
