I am a proud American who believes that America has held – and still holds – a very sensitive and special place in the affairs of mankind on Planet Earth. I believe that America has been divinely blessed and protected in our two centuries plus of existence.
I believe that America has been a counter balance that has cancelled out a lot of tyranny, evil and conquest and, admittedly, we have made a lot of mistakes, but on balance we have exerted a certain Pax Americana in the international affairs of mankind.
It took a lot of old fashioned guts for the Continental Congress to stand up to the world’s mightiest military and tell them that we demanded our independence, even at the peril of going up against a far superior force on land and sea with a ragtag army of untrained citizens, many who had to supply their own firearms.
It took courage above and beyond for Abraham Lincoln to push the country into a Civil War that he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt would divide this nation for decades.
It took guts to give the order for American troops to storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, straight into the face of artillery and machine gunfire, wave after wave being cut to ribbons by German shore emplacements.
The history of this nation is written in the blood and courage of men who stood in the face of overwhelming odds, politicians, soldiers, statesmen and ordinary citizens who sought to do the right thing regardless of the cost or the consequences.
Well, ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, it seems that that particular pen has run out of ink. The courageous politicians that once championed this nation have been replaced, for the most part, by a breed of milksop, politically correct, scared of their own shadow, pushover, pathetic excuses for public servants who are supposed to be representing a constituency of citizens who have to live with the circumstances of their timid folly.
You don’t even have the courage to face down an out of control president, even when he makes a deal with the devil. Don’t you bunch of timid capons even care what kind of world you’re leaving to your children and grandchildren, not to even mention the rest of us? Are you really party partisans before you’re parents and grandparents or even human beings?
Be honest with yourselves a minute, go into the bathroom and look in the mirror and ask the person you see this question.
“Do I really believe that Iran will not use the money we’re releasing to them to finance terrorists to kill Americans, and, when, not if, but when, the Iranians develop their nuclear device, will they really use it against America and Israel?â€
You can’t hide from the truthful answer to that question forever, an answer will be required of you one day.
You have allowed Obama to tilt the Supreme Court so far to the left that they’re little more than a shameful extension of the Executive Branch.
You have talked for decades about the porous southern border but have done absolutely nothing about it.
You have allowed cities in this nation to declare themselves sanctuary cities where they protect the worst of the worst criminal aliens, American citizens paying an awful price for your silence.
You watch an impossible National Debt balloon completely out of control knowing full well that a day of reckoning is coming that will seriously curtail the quality of life for coming generations.
You allow corrupt government agencies like the IRS to run over the very people you are sworn to protect and allow the entitlement society to expand exponentially while you actually entertain the idea of raising taxes on those who still work and shoulder the burden.
You compose a third of the constitutionally mandated ruling system and you shirk your duty and allow this nation to move a little closer to the edge every day.
I wish you bunch of sold-out, jaded, burned-out hacks would just go home and let some people who still have some vision and whose consciences haven’t been seared past the point of reminding them when they’re wrong take over and start to claw this nation back on to the path of sanity,
Your ratings are in the single digits, your morals are in the gutter, your minds are on self-preservation and somewhere along the way you traded your honor for political expediency.
You’ve violated your oaths, you’ve betrayed your country you’ve feathered your nests and you’ve sat on your hands while an imperial president has rubbed your noses in the dirt time after time.
You’re no longer men, you’re puppets, you’re caricatures, jokes, a gaggle of fading prostitutes for sale to anybody who can do you a political favor.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?â€
What do you think?
Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

I see a couple people on a conservative site making excuses for a hard leftist 3 full years after the GOP tanked an election to keep a communist in power.
I see a couple people so committed to justifying their failure that they flatly refuse to address, much less refute one factual point anyone on this thread, including Charlie daniels in the original article made.
I see massive attempts to get freepers to continue the mistakes that got us to today.
I see why some people withdraw from society and become Hikkimori.
I see that before the election we are going to have a total repeat of 12.
And I see that people deserve the people they vote F O R.
Your “facts” as you create them.
No more complaining about Obama from you. You helped elect him.
Blah blah blah...
“I see that before the election we are going to have a total repeat of 12.”
The overtures have already been made.
I find it noteworthy that Romney’s new Butt Buddy is David Axelrod. Is someone who befriends a known, proven traitor not a traitor himself? I say yes he is. But I’m so....so Paleo-conservative, and all......
Yet another thing that shows what 3 year defender types truly are.
Existential Cage Theory starts at ‘home’.
I just realized I wrote in the wrong “real conservative” candidate in the last presidential election. I should have written in the “real conservative”, “Norm Lenhart”. I wouldn’t have known this had not diamond pointed out to me what a swell real conservative Norm Lenhart is.
I am now practicing writing “Norm Lenhart” in case a non-real conservative becomes the final candidate. N-o-r-m L-e-n-h-a-r-t. Go Lenhart!
If elected my first action will be caging leftists under letters of National Security. And I will start with the leftists here since they, more than any, have done more to sabotage righting the ship of state than any I know of.
CANCERvatives kill from within, just like their namesake.
Thanks from MY country (that would be the traditional country known as the USA) and what was once my party (the GOP which has degenerated now into nothing but the political arm of the US Chamber of Cronyism and social revolution: See Romney, Mitt, Ryano, Paul, etc.) to you for being the stubborn airhead that you are and supporting the further destruction of the USA by people like Romney who impersonate Republicans on the ballot and have the nerve to call himself a "severe conservative" whatever that may mean coming out of his ever lying mouth. That is YOUR candidate and that is what YOU VOTED FOR! No amount of weaseling about him not being your first choice can dissolve your guilt. Don't waste your breath bothering to continue the pose.
Your surrender monkey tactics have destroyed California and ITS GOP but you are not satisfied and want the nation and the good conservatives of the actual Republican Party. What makes you think that conservatives or any patriots owe you or Romney or McCain or McConnell or Boehner or Ryano or McCarthy or Bush the Elder or Ford or Nixon their precious vote? Or that they must surrender their morality and integrity so that you may wallow in your "misery makes company" mode. As my late mother and late grandmother used to say: Show me your friends and I'll tell you what you are. Eternal Vigilance is my friend and Romney is yours. Must suck to be you!
I likely will stop wasting my time responding to you. You have no rationality. You have no shame. You have no principles. You have no clue. I would also wager that you have nothing in the way of a relevant resume (match mine against yours anytime you like).
You are the ultimate Low Information voter as proven by the utter lack of substantive arguments in your posts here. Again and again, it is just RINO's and social revolutionaries in GOP-E drag are just soooooo wonderful! And Demonrats are all boogiemen.
When I was at dialysis today, I saw a T-shirt worn by a middle aged black woman patient. It said: "You can't scare me! I've got kids!" And I can confidently tell you that the sissy wing of what used to be the Republican Party can't and won't be scaring my kids either. They were raised right. Take your abject fear of the boogieman and put it where the sun shineth not.
I will not change course and there is absolutely NO REASON why I should. My life is not threatened. Sorry about yours if yours is threatened but that is what you get for voting FOR an amoral/immoral monster like Romney. Such behavior makes you expendable without cost to the conservative movement, Ideas Have Consequences. Read the late Richard Weaver's book to that effect. Do you/can you read books? CONSERVATIVE books? Which ones, if any, do you like and admire? Why? Which do you reject and why? I suspect I should not hold my vreath waiting for your answer with specifics, just more of what Reagan called scrawling your obscenities on the outhouse wall with a grease pencil, but, hey!, surprise me and everyone else.
Read enough books like Ideas Have Consequences and works of Bill Buckley, Bill Rusher, Frank Meyer, Willmoore Kendall, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich von Hayek, Will Herberg, Robert Nozick, Alexander Bickel, Martin Diamond, Norman Podhoretz, Midge Decter, Sir Martin Gilbert, Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, Dietrich von Hildebrand, Hillaire Belloc, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and so many, many more who devoted their lives to articulating an eloquent and wise vision of which you are quite obviously ignorant and that you therefore reject. But, hey! Prove me wrong about your ignorance.
As C. S. Lewis might have said: You are a man with no chest. You and your candidates lose and lose and lose again and ALWAYS will because you have NOTHING WORTHWHILE to offer. Other than: But, but, but.... we are NOT Demonrats. Not good enough!
It WOULD be nice if the last American driven from Californicate would take your only remaining asset, "wonderful weather" and bring it to us in the upper Midwest where we will put it to better use.
Oh, and spare us the usual intellectually dishonest tactic of folks like you of cherry-picking the massive works of Bill Buckley or the public remarks of Ronaldus Maximus to justify your ideological apostasy and vacantness. When I lived in the Northeast, my wife was employed by Bill Buckley and we attended his Christmas parties in Manhattan and I was Reagan's state chair when he challenged the last feckless wimp "Republican" to be elected before him. "Bold colors, no pale pastels! We won't turn our party over to our opponents in the recent struggle (i.e. Ford)" Address those before you try to pass off Gaylord Parkinson's Law (the so-called 11th Commandment) as though it were Reagan's.
You are not fit to utter his name. AND bear in mind that your boy Romney did not even vote for Reagan, as he revealed in his campaign against Ted the Swimmer. He had not become a "severe conservative" yet and, of course, he never became even a milquetoast "conservative." And neither, apparently have you and those mules like you.
You frighten FAR TOO EASILY. That’s why you vote for trash like Romney.
AND, if you eagerly voted FOR Romney (and you did or you would not be braying about it here a full three years after he got his inner donkey kicked to death for lack of REPUBLICAN votes), don't you be yakking about anyone else being a baby-killer or gun grabber. Voting FOR Romney puts you in those categories as well. Not voting FOR Romney or FOR Obozo means not having to apologize now or ever.
Rule or Ruin! Now and forever.
McConnell and Haley Barbour and their cronies stole the Mississippi primary for Thad Cockroach. Kentucky? Why not? I guess they believe that, if the people displease them, they are entitled to and may dissolve the people and choose a new people.
“And only makes discord among us.”
I have said since the PDS wars, that is their purpose. Divide and conquer is what tanked Palin. It is what elected the Mitch/Jonbons and it is what fragged the Romney primaries.
I wish I never had to say the word Romney again. Or Lesser Evil. I wish I could spend my time promoting a candidate instead of defending conservatism on a conservative website. But it’s not possible because not one day has passes since the 08 election that someone on FR is not out there pushing for the very crap that brought the liberalism upon us.
If we play defense, we lose. Again. Before we ever get to the General. We have it all on record. We all lived through it. It sucks but if the GOPe runs wild, all we can do is fight it until lightning flies. Or stand back and watch helplessly while history repeats.
It hit me tonight that ISIS is the globalists’ army. The MB are their advance men.
Proof ? Evidence ? Facts ? Cites ? Links ?
“Let’s see who will I vote for— a left of center Repulican (not my ideal) or a communist, muslim-sympathizing (or outright Muslim, who knows), baby killing, gun-grabbing America hater.
If I’m Norm I vote for someone who doesn’t have a chance and give the WH to the Commie. Wow, I feel great for screwing America, and I brag about it on FR.”
That sums it up perfectly!
Yeah. Norm thinks we should throw him a parade for being Neville Chamberlain.
{”Yeah. Norm thinks we should throw him a parade for being Neville Chamberlain.”}
If he would quit bragging about it, we could quit getting annoyed by it.
He must have many fine qualities, but logical reasoning isn’t one of them.
