- As for a demonstrable record of accomplishment domestically, there is nothing that remotely approaches the importance of, or the complexity of, (or the ingratitude for,) Bush's record on homeland defense-for-real.
- The clintons and the Left are playing the Right like a Spanish guitar.
- Do you really want the clintons to control the immigration issue? The War on Terror?
- HILLARY CLINTON VOTES FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BEFORE SHE VOTES AGAINST THEM
HEAR HER NOW
What's black and white and read all over and is more self-destructive than pre-9/11 thinking?
'Through a glass darkly' is bill clinton's favorite biblical metaphor and his fixers' spin-of-last-resort. When properly misconstrued, the phrase at once captures and effectuates the clinton con perfectly, placing clinton conveniently beyond the reach of criticism, impeachment (figuratively speaking), and, most important, punishment. THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY: I try to base my thinking on reasoned analysis of the facts, as best as I can discern them. And fear is not necessarily a bad thing. It can be adaptive or it can be maladaptive. And as a matter of fact, it is usually adaptive. We depend on fear for our survival. It initiates our 'fight or flight' response. It is only 20th-century psychologizing that focused undue attention on the maladaptive variety. Fear of the islamofascist terrorists (and by extension, fear of the return of the clintons to power) is adaptive; it is appropriate. FIGHT? OR FLIGHT? As for a demonstrable record of accomplishment domestically, there is nothing that remotely approaches the importance of, or the complexity of, (or the ingratitude for,) Bush's record on homeland defense-for-real. I cannot imagine what it must do to a person to have that kind of responsibility on one's shoulders 24/7 for almost five years, not being able to talk about the successes even as the seditious Left broadcasts every 'failure' real and imagined (and self-fulfilled--think 'Tet Offensive').... I am not a booster for the professional pol of any stripe--in my opinion we must, with time, get rid of them all--but I am sickened by this ingratitude on the Right almost as much as I am by the sedition on the Left. It is time for a reality check.
Fear is a powerful master and the only tool available to those who have no demonstrable record on which to stand. The fact that the Republicans must resort to fearmongering simply underscores their lack of accomplishment. I refuse to respond to the "The Evil Dem would be so much worse". Without demonstrable progress on domestic issues, Republicans will not get my vote. -- Conservative Goddess
And I will add this......We are NOT all knowing. Be very, very careful of trusting in a spirit of discernment that is based in fear, else you risk sitting in judgement of a friend, not enemy.--Kimberly GG
If being all-knowing was a prerequisite to action, we would all be in a state of permanent paralysis. Interestingly, this is bill clinton's favorite demagogic ploy :
HOW DECADES OF CLINTON DOUBLE-DEALING COMPROMISED OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
Mia T, March 8, 2006
Will we return the clintons to power and flee? Or will we elect a Republican and continue to fight? (Fleeing is tantamount to surrendering: When terrorists declare war on you and commit acts of war against you, you are perforce at war. At that point you have only one decision to make: Do you fight or do you surrender? For eight years, the clintons repeatedly chose surrender.)

[T]hey're using the same divide and conquer techniques. They infiltrate our political parties and organizations. They plant disinformation bombs and sow the seeds of political discontent. They are masters in the use of propaganda and rabble rousing. Recognize the enemy for what he is and do not allow them to use divisive issues to destroy our conservative movement. We are winning. We must not be sidetracked by an issue that will be solved in due time as we elect more conservative members to our government and continue replacing liberal activist judges with constitutionalists. The goal is the same as it's always been. We must hold the line and advance our cause. Never willingly give ground to the liberal/socialists! Never retreat! Never surrender! The Beast must be destroyed!-- The game has not changed, we face the same enemy, same challenges. The Beast never dies! |

Podhoretz: Yes—with this caveat. If the party fails to focus on the threat from Hillary and tears itself apart from within in pursuit of doctrinal purity, then those in pursuit of purity over practical politics will hand the country to Hillary in 2008. Lopez: In the short term: If Republicans lose big in 2006, how will it reflect on 2008? Will it be a good kick-start to the GOP or just put Dems that much ahead? Podhoretz: Here's a very good rule of thumb in politics: Losing begets losing. Lopez: How can blogs stop Hillary? Could the left-wing blogosphere wind up a thorn in her side?
Lopez: What’s your most important piece of advice on stopping Hillary? Podhoretz: Conservatives must avoid the siren song of schism, or all is lost. Kathryn Jean Lopez interviews John Podhoretz |
