I've gotta bump that!
Great Rant Pukin'!
I wrote to one of my favorite radio personalities the other day and told him that his latest rant was nothing more than disrespect for the office of the President, and I won't be listening anymore.
The President hasn't done all that I'd have liked, but we're almost 5 years down the road from 9/11 and we have not been attacked again. I would have never imagined that on 9/12...and I think we have President Bush to thank for that. Plus the economy has rebounded and that's another thing that I would not have imagined.
Two conservative Supreme Court Justices is also a plus for the President.
He's not a dictator, some posts make me think that the poster believes the President can snap his fingers and a problem is solved. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that, and with the latest venom being directed toward the immigration issue...well that problem has been with us for years, and is not easily solved, so why all the uproar, all of a sudden.
Only explanation, IMHO, is that the Dems are trying to stir up the "political pot" because of the upcoming election.
Great rant Pukin, you hit it right on the head with this one.
Your intolerance of parsley is disturbing.
Thank you for this rant. The Dem were on the ropes a year ago, and they have only gotten more obnoxious in their pathological hatred of this President.
Yet all they have to do is set back and watch this all crash at our feet over an issue that was here 6 weeks ago, 6 months ago, and more than 6 years ago.
Some were not going to be satisfied unless they were told that the 50 foot high wall will be done by the end of the week, and shoot-to-kill orders are given.
So in their little tantrums, they're willing to turn it over to those who will ABSOLUTELY do just the opposite of what they demand.
Makes alot of friggin sense.
BIG PD BUMP !!!!!
I'm with you Mr. Dog. I've fought many of those battles and been called many of the names you mentioned. One quick correction, Lincoln Chafee is from Rhode Island not Massachuesetts...not that it really matters. When you look at New England all you see are Democrats except for Mitt Romney and it seems he can't get out of Massachusetts fast enough.
The politeness level here has really declined . I'm all for good-hearted ribbing, but some of the threads I have been lurking lately are down-right nasty.
Heck, just look at some of the nice Keywords on this thread.
What I meant was that its too late for freepers to be undivided. Some will bolt the GOP, others will continue to support it, others will sit on their hands.
And regardless, we will still be the greatest nation.
What was said about Laura? Don't know how I missed it
Excellent post!
Yeah? Well, just let me catch someone bringing parsley across the border.......
I did put two caveats on my consideration of the democRATs and MSM as the opposition; that thy not harbor the real enemy, and that they not wish death upon Americans. I guess from your perspective they have already cleared the hurdle on both accounts. Perhaps I am too generous,... maybe not....
It's only too late after you are dead. Unless one is a fatalistic quitter, it is possible to remedy mistakes. Just think of the world we would live in if folks had said it was too late when Hitler set up camp in France, or when Russia got nukes, and the rest of the world just rolled over and accepted that "the horse was already out of the barn".
Great piece. Keep up the good work.
It also doesn't help when people here in this Forum attack, defame, flame and deride those who are their allies in this movement.
Too many times I have seen freepers call other freepers, Trolls, DUmmies, etc.. when the person that they are responding to is just as much of a conservative as the person doing the name calling.
You also can't blame people for being frustrated at what is going on in Washington DC. Alot of passion and sweat has gone into the election of these people, and to have them turn around and stab their worker bees in the back by failing to do what we sent them there to do is the cause of most of this angst.
There's an old saying. Taste your words before you let them slip past your teeth.
If you do that and try to talk with those who are fed up and are wanting to "send a message", you might find that you save a fellow conservative (I won't say republican because I could give a rats ass about any party), from making a terrible mistake.
Granted, sitting out the election is not an option. I used to think so until I read a piece by a fellow conservative. His stance changed my mind on that.
I won't sit out the election, but I also will not just willy nilly vote for anyone with an R by their name.
They'd better have a large "C" on their chest as well or I just flat won't vote for them.
Just my opinion.
I think Sloth was talking about the bashers here; at least I was hoping so.

Depends. People who trash the president or the GOP or us "bushbots" with their every post are not helping matters. It gets old.
