Our leaders need some moments of doubt
American Thinker ^ | 17 Apr, 2021 | Terry Paulding

Posted on 04/17/2021 4:47:29 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Currently, the Democrats’ arrogance means that they're blind to the possible consequences of their actions, and we’re just hoping for the best.

Every once in a while, we all need to have moments of self-doubt. To be humbled by a reminder that no, we don’t know it all. That maybe we don’t know much at all. That the things we are sure of are as transient as life itself. I envy people with deep religious faith, who are certain about their rules and promises of their faith. I’m never certain, just hopeful because the alternative is too grim.

Without humility, we’d end up just like the repressive Democrats. They are so sure they have all the answers, never looking past their own affectations. They look down their noses at the rest of us poor schmoes, seeing us as hapless dupes. We’re peons to be used, pawns to be moved on a board they, and only they, control.

They also cheat with impunity, knowing that the media and tech will have their backs, ignoring their obvious cheating, even if they’re caught red-handed, as happened before and during the election. I can almost hear them chanting “na na nana na” as they thumb their noses at us.

They are getting so arrogant, so full of themselves, so sure we (the people) can all simply be steamrolled, that they are putting out bill after bill showing their black hearts. Court-packing. The so-called infrastructure bill that’s just a kitchen sink including open borders and a giant budget there’s no money behind. Vote-by-cheating legislation. End the filibuster. More U.S. states. Higher taxes. Choking climate change regulations.

They’re paying illegal immigrants with our tax money, inciting violence in our cities, fomenting racial disharmony, and they are being incredibly careless with foreign policy.

For many politicians, if you could buy them for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth you would be rich!

And Republicans? Curled up in a ball, playing the prison sissy.

the author is a malignant liar.

the criminals are in BOTH the DNC and GOP.

the GOP deliberately failed its voters.

DELIBERATELY.
and must be held accountable for their ELECTION FRAUD,
their backstabbing,
their child and sex trafficking,
their sedition (so much),
and their treason.

waiting..........

I think Terry’s Magic 8 ball is broken.

If conservatives believe they can stop the progressives by letting them implode, we will be in for more rude awakings. Given the Biden administration is Obama 3.0, they will never let a crisis, real or manafactured, go to waste.

Hear, hear!

Both parties are a clear and present danger.

Hello old friend. You will not hear a single word of argument from me on your post.

I've been of the opinion that the criminals in this country are the Democrat and Republican parties since 1992. They're both in on "the game." What they fight over isn't our interests out here in "flyover country" at all. They fight among themselves for the seats of power and the ill-gotten riches that come with it.

That "insurrection" at the Capitol on January 6th was nothing. It was a food fight if anything.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: I've been waiting a long time - almost thirty years now - for the call of all good men to come to the aid of their country and reclaim that which is ours: the government.

They think we work for them and they're long, long overdue for a healthy reminder that they work for us.

In closing, I've had my tagline here on FR since the 2000 elections. I've never seen a reason to change it so I do not. I believe it in my mind, heart and soul.

Peace to you.

Won’t happen.

Doubt requires introspection and humility to accept even the slightest chance you could be wrong.

Leftists lack both of those things, introspection and humility.

Tyranny is when the people are afraid of the government. Freedom is when the government is afraid of the people.

There was a time when to be elected by some of the people meant that you represented the interests of all the people. Not any more.

All politicians and giverment employees need to have doubts. Employees are the same. If they are allowed to become too sure of themselves they can start to have ideas about changing roles with their employer.

Just the leftists? NO. Almost all politicians and giverment employees have forgotten or never knew who their bosses are.

The only distinction of the left is that they give absolutely NO thought for the interests of anyone who is not one of them. For those that are one of them they are mindless pawns that will be sacrificed at any time that is useful.

Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.

Compliance with Tyranny is Treason.

Every Politician who Votes to enable this Illegitimate Regime deserves nothing but contempt from every Patriotic American. It’s too bad only half the Population qualifies while the other half basks in the glory of this Evil.

Put a fork in the America we knew.
The Republic is dead, long live the Republic.

Actually, I tend to lump the RINOs and Liberals in with the “Leftist” label nowadays, since they knowingly or unknowingly work towards the same goal.

I get what you are saying...

They aren’t our leaders, they are our representatives.
