Everything I've read the past two days, is that the Dems are realizing they have to adopt the conservative way of thinking to win, or pretend to! Is this ironic or what????
Last night on H&C the President of NOW was on and she said if the Democratic party abandoned "the rights of gays" she would bolt.
That's the way it is. The left currently controls the RAT agenda. But if the moderate RATS (??) tried to take the party back, the left would abandon them. They would probably vote 3rd party, splitting the RATS in two.
The RATS are stuck between a rock and a hard place. And as someone who has lived in China, where you occasionally see a smashed rat on the street (where someone has taken a rock and clobbered one of the critters on the pavement) I have to tell you: it ain't a pretty sight.
Meanwhile, what IS a pretty sight (to contemplate a completely different image, for a moment) is that photo of the Bush family posing together shortly after the election victory. What a sweet victory. What a wonderful family. What a great President. What a wonderful country. What a great election.
They will just pretend
I want them to split into 3 or 4 parts
I want them to split into 3 or 4 partsI want their heads to explode.
1. I haven't heard any post-election analysis of veterans' votes either, but all the polls in the months before the election consistently showed Kerry losing veterans 70-30 or higher. The Swifties did a great job on this and I was a happy contributor.
2. Maybe be need a campaign in the MSM to change "anti-gay marriage" to "pro-traditional marriage" just like transforming from "anti-abortion" to "pro-life" several years ago, which was a long struggle.
3. I am so happy W won!!!
Sadly I suspect there is no way to get the data. The MSM who pays for all those polls saw Kerry as a true hero, so it would never dawn on them to ask that question.
It's their new matra, their desperate effort to continue to try to define the war as a failure.
But the election's single most important issue really was the war, and our objection to the way the media had twisted it and undermined it.
We knew the media had twisted its reporting because we all had our loved ones involved in the fight and from them we heard news we could trust and uses as a baseline for deciding for ourselves how the war was going.
The rejection of Hollyweird values was a part of it, but then, moral issues also applies to matters of war and peace, terrorism and so on. To a conservative, everything relates to moral issues. The term covers a broad range of ideas, depending on who you're talking to and when you talk to them. Some may think of the defense of marriage when asked, while others' first concern is defense of religious liberty in a war against Islamic zealots, and still others are concerned about integrity in business.
Civil War seems to be the only option open to them (/sarc).
The Rev. Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State put it more starkly. "The culture war may go nuclear," he said, as "millions of Americans oppose the theocratic agenda of the Religious Right."
To put it more starkly-it is those who believe in moral and family values that are defending themselves from phonies like the supposedly-Rev. Barry Lynn and the immoral crusade of the Hollywood left.
ROFL!!!
My 18 year old teen cast her first vote in this election. She is a recent graduate of the pub(l)ic education system, indoctrinated into every liberal doctrine they threw at her. Difference is ... she tossed it right back at them, snubbing the annual GLBT 'Day of Silence', demanding an equivalent day for the those silenced by abortion. She voted Bush! At school, the morning after the election, other students expressed anger at the Bush victory. She asked them if they had voted. Hearing that not one of them had bothered to register, she simply told them they had no right to complain. God bless her defiant mind and beautiful heart!
Your intellectually facile comments betray an agenda, and are not worthy of FR commentary.
Moral issues means moral issues means moral issues. Every true conservative worth his salt knows what that means.
Period. End of discussion.
I spoke with a friend last night who was very upset that Bush won. She said now all birth control, stem cell research and abortions will be baned. I doubt that greatly. The press trts to make the Christan right the very picture of evil. She said Bush would just go in lockstep with whatever Pat Robertson and his ilk dictated. She and many like her believe that Bush is basically stupid and is being controlled by powerful Christian groups. I told her that Bush was no ways near as stupid as the press would have us believe. I mentioned that the Christian right is just another special interest group and has as much right to speak and push their agenda as groups like the Sierra Club or Move On. Org. One may disagree with them but that does not give the left to try and silence them.
Glad she's on our side.
Wait til the Left finds out that:
(A) Presdent Bush issued an open invitation to the 59,054,087 Bush voters to attend daily prayer services in the Capitol rotunda.
(B)President Bush is authorizing $2 billion from the NEA to erect a cross on the White House lawn.
(C) President Bush will issue an executive order to place marble replicas of the Ten Commandments in every courtroom in the US.
Bump!
LOL........good zinger. Thanks.
