Holding Court There's a crackdown over Miers, not a "crackup."

I love being a conservative. We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism. And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation -- the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people.

The Miers nomination shows the strength of the conservative movement. This is no "crackup." It's a crackdown. Lest anyone forget, for several years before the 1980 election, we had knockdown battles within the GOP. The result: Ronald Reagan won two massive landslides.

The real crackup has already occurred -- on the left! The Democratic Party has been hijacked by 1960s retreads like Howard Dean; billionaire eccentrics like George Soros; and leftwing computer geeks like Moveon.org. It nominated John Kerry, a notorious Vietnam-era antiwar activist, as its presidential standard-bearer. Its major spokesmen are old extremists like Ted Kennedy and new propagandists like Michael Moore. Its great presidential hope is one of the most divisive figures in U.S. politics, Hillary Clinton. And its favorite son is an impeached, disbarred, held-in-contempt ex-president, Bill Clinton.

The American left is stuck trying to repeat the history of its presumed glory years. They hope people will see Iraq as Vietnam, the entirety of the Bush administration as Watergate and Hurricane Katrina as the Great Depression. Beyond looking to the past for their salvation, the problem is that they continue to deceive even themselves. None of their comparisons are true. Meanwhile, we conservatives will continue to focus on making history.

This excerpt is the tip of Rush's 'iceberg'...let's just hope the demonRAT's Titantic doesn't find its way around what Rush is pointing out so eloquently.

Rush is da man once again with his commentary. For those angry at Rush concerning Meirs, remember that George Bush would still be running the Rangers except for Reagen and Rush.

[Agent Smith]

Right on target, as usual.

And still get 49% or better of the Dumbass Voters to vote for them
