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.
God Bless America

Go and take a logic class and see if it helps you.
Would Romney have turned his back on Israel? (That’s one difference. Think of all the others, if you dare.)
I vote for the most conservative, legitimate candidate that can win. I did that, so I have a clean conscience.
That obviously leaves out candidates that didn’t even register 1% of the vote. You may as well not vote at all, if that’s what you’re going to do.
In primaries and state elections, I always vote for candidates with rock hard conservative credentials, and there are usually some to vote for.
Romney wasn’t my first choice, but he was my only choice against Obama. He had a record on a number of issues I wasn’t at all happy about.
However, he ran on a platform of fiscal responsibility, had a good record of that as a governor, and he also ran as a pro-lifer. He also was a businessman, and I wanted him to run this country like a business, because government budgeting is absolute bogus garbage.
If you think that equates to Obama, then you have to be out of your mind.
He was a flawed candidate, but so was every candidate running in the general election (I did not vote for Romney in the primary). I voted for him in the final election, because I care about this country, and I wanted the evil of Obama to be stopped.
If you don’t think Obama is the most horrible thing to ever happen to this country, a tyrant that has continued to wreck everything that we hold dear and has trampled every one of our Constitutional rights like no President in the history of this nation, you really need to re-examine your values. This is more important than just giving the Establishment a message about what candidate we want.
I am as rock hard on conservatism as anybody, but I couldn’t ever stomach a Communist taking over our country, no matter what. That’s how seriously I understand the election to be, and I wish everyone had understood that. Say what you want about Romney’s policies, but I believe (despite your aspersions to the contrary) that he at least he has some redeeming moral character, and he is a good man with good intentions.
This is a no BS answer from the heart. If you want to flame me for that, it shows more about your character than it does mine.
So you voted FOR abortion, gun bans, homosexual marriage, illegal immigration all embodied by the candidate who backed them Mitt Romney.

That’s what you voted FOR.
You are FOR it.
Ridiculous only because most ‘conservatives’ are too damn lazy to seek out a candidate who best represents their values. Ergo, you get ‘soy boys’ like Bush, Dole, McCain, Romney, yada, yada...no skin off of my nose.
You should try to live long enough to see us apologize for doing the right thing. Ain't gonna happen in my lifetime, your lifetime or God's lifetime.
Maybe it was the intellectual treason and cowardice of the California GOP elite which resisted Reagan in his time and anything worthwhile then and forever is how California and its GOPEE got to be what they have become. I think that the BIG blunder was electing Pete Babykiller Wilson as a "GOP" governor. Electing Schwarzenkennedy did not help either. Now you want us to do TO America what the worst of the California GOPEE has already done to California. Good luck with that! If you succeed, it will not be with my vote or that of any genuine conservative.
How many times do you guys need to hammered over the head with the 2 X 4 of reality before you get the picture? Nominate another baby killing, gun grabbing, marriage destroying (among an infinity of other evils) quisling ideological criminal like Willard and say hello to the Arkansas Medusa as your new POTUS.
Don't believe me? Check the latest election results, including KY, among others. Two GOP governors elected in KY in 40 years. Matt Bevin, McConnell's worst enemy, prematurely declared by the usual gang of pollster suspects wins by a wide margin. Looks like the voters were verrrry sorry to have allowed McConnell to survive when Bevin primaried him. I would wager they are not inclined to drink the GOPEE Kool Aid ever again either. Now, if an appointment should have to be made to a vacancy in McConnell's seat, Bevin can appoint a principled American to replace the vile trash that is McConnell.
Greg Abbott can do the same in Texas if Cornyn's seat falls vacant, please God!
I don't care WHO you voted for in California's irrelevant primary, you voted FOR Romney in the general and, in doing so, you bought Willard, his track record of atrocities and all of his evils every bit as much as any Obozo voter bought into the same qualities of Obozo. And for WHAT? Your quisling got beaten anyhow because he was a pure evil excuse for a Republican and, in spite of it all, claimed to be a "severe conservative" as though anyone with three brain cells would believe that. The moment that Willard secured the GOPEE nomination by the expenditure of obscene special interest $$$$$ was the moment that Obozo was re-elected.
Obozo = Romney = Obozo = Romney, etc. Rinse and repeat. Unless of course, your obsessions are the care and feeding of Muffie's trust fund, K Street, Wall Street and the US Chambers of Crony Corruption. Then you might have favored Romney for all the WRONG reasons and there are no RIGHT reasons. That Willard is not Obozo is meaningless since he is nothing more than Obozo in whiteface.
Don't you EVER tire of being lied to by the craven weasels who get your vote just because they are merely Demonrats in GOPEE drag rather than being candid self-identified Demonrats?
Norm and I and a lot of others on FR voted in 2012 but we refused to vote for Willard OR Obozo. We don't owe our votes to your candidate, the Demonrats' candidate or anyone else. Our votes have to be earned the old-fashioned way. I voted for Tom Hoefling who is FR's Eternal Vigilance and if you are looking for an apology, don't hold your breath.
Thanks for Obama. You must be proud.
You seem to be bragging.
Just to be crystal clear here...
A guy who posts on a conservative website (you) pining for a Romney presidency; Romney being a politician that has financial interest in a business INCINERATING DEAD CHILDREN FOR PROFIT AFTER THEY WERE MURDERED BY LEFTISTS (Planned Parenthood/Abortion providers) that are regularly compared, accurately (thanks to multiple videos of documented evidence), with the crimes of ADOLF HITLER and Josef Mengele, (who gained their noterity as leftists murdering Jews they did not want around either) is telling me that the pol he Pines for and makes excuses for...
... would be ‘better’ for Israel...han ANOTHER guy that does the same thing but without the direct profit into his cash account that we aware of...
...And “I” not you, need logic classes. Do I have that right? Because everything above is a matter of public record so there is no arguing against it with anything resembling honesty.
So please. Don’t try to argue it. Just say yes and save yourself, myself and the forum the indignity of more idiocy. You have displayed enough poor judgement for one lifetime.
Sorry, I can’t read this illogical claptrap.
But thanks anyway.
good point. I don't know enough about that election, but wow that would be quite the mass changing of the mind in Kentucky if all of a sudden the state says "Whoops our bad!" One would have to wonder if McConnell did not steal that election.
You’re a liberal. Most liberals are too stupid to read.
I have to think KY has people smarter than some of the excusemakers on this thread, and with enough integrity to try fixing the problems they caused with their votes for a liberal.
That I read. It was short. Cruz is my candidate.
But I’m not the kind of braindead lunatic who would help Obama get his ass in the WH for a second term.
You voted for a guy we told you wasn’t gonna win. A leftist. You screwed up.
Actually, he would have won if evangelicals, and other people who seemed to be unable to anticipate the result of their folly, had not stayed home.
Apparently you failed to read the post-election analyses.
Oh and BTW. I would guess a year prior to the 12 election, you probably swore up and down you were never gonna vote for Romeny. Then you did.
So you’ll have to forgive me if your word does not inspire trust that you’ll stand behind Cruz if Jeb or Rubio looks like he’s gonna get the nod.
Or were you Romney from day 1 to begin with? Who in their right mind would trust the word of anyone making excuses for a failed leftist?
Either way you failed America.
I should have trusted the same MSM that you deride when they don’t give your approved message.
Not. I’ll trust my own. I have been right 100% of the time on this subject.
If your candidate can’t keep voters from staying home, it sounds like you had a pretty poor candidate.
But not in a gay way.
So zip back up."
Funniest ever. New personal best.

Charlie Daniels is my idea of an honorable, patriotic American.
An entertainer who is humbled by God, loves his country, and when in public, affirms the goodness of both.
