If I get one vanity this is it. Left wing approaches are doomed to failure. They threaten our prosperity and our very lives. This is based on history and common sense. The enemy of a successful America is not a political party. It is wrong headed leftist thinking.
Americans are generally conservative and polls always show they do not want to be labeled as liberals. But "we" allowed one of the dominant political parties to become radically left wing, and we treated them with courtesy and credibility all the way. The democrat party harbors representatives who are so Marxist and so offensive that the American people should have demanded a purge before returning democrats to power. Many of those extremists will now hold powerful positions. If there is a failure by republicans, it has always been a failure to call the leftists out loudly by name, to embarrass them for their radical viewpoints. Instead, they are largely ignored and treated like colleagues for a variety of reasons - all political and all bad for America.
We tolerate the democrat marxists because they are in safe democrat districts and we don't devote resources to defeat them. They represent minorities who don't vote for us anyway, so we ignore them. We are afraid to confront some because they are minorities. To some extent we like having radical democrats, because we think that will help republicans get elected in more moderate districts.
But there was going to be the day when democrats returned to power. And that day is dangerous because the democrat party became a leftist party. If they were conservatives or even moderates they would not threaten our security or economy to this degree. But they do.
So don't eat our own, don't attack our president who certainly is not a leftist. Attack leftist ideology, insist that republicans get tougher in the battle of ideas. Demand that leaders recognize the ultimate objective is our lives, fortunes and sacred honor. It is not a political chess game. When democrats say the American people want to raise our taxes or weaken our security and abandon our allies - demand that our leaders say "Like Hell!" And that they ridicule leftism as an offensive prescription for disaster.
Democrats won by running some more conservative candidates in key races, and hiding their liberal leadership. Let's make sure we remind them that the election was NOT about change from conservative to liberal.
As we all know, the republican party harbors some incredibly stupid liberal Senators. The problem is the democrats have far more of them. Encourage republican conservatives to stand up to them. Force the democrats and republicans to become more conservative. If you just throw out the Rinos the left wing democrats will fill the void.
Don't ever lose heart and abandon this country to the leftists. They are despicable and they will get you or your children killed.
Support the president, thank God for him at this moment. Just remind him that America is a conservative nation. Let's make sure "liberal" and "left wing" remain dirty words.
Too late.
amen.
We need to get rid of liberal Republicans in primaries, then take on the 'rats.
don't fret - we're just eating ourselves is all. we'll get over it soon enough and get back to what we do so well.
And forgive the traitors who gave power to those traitorous liberal Democrats?
This is the second time in a generation that the American public has stabbed our warriors in the back. In other words, this is not a fluke.
It isn't too late. Seize the day.
The media refused to acknowledge their evil socialist agenda. Said that terms like "Communist" were divisive.
Now we can hang the media and Rat party together with one rope.
Shine the light of truth. Let the Communist purge begin.
Their vote for the first pelosi gun grabbing bill will show there true core beleiefs.
Democrats cannot get elected on their core beliefs. They must be fraudulent to get elected.
I am going to re-post my thoughts on a few of these vanity threads....I posted this on another thread. Take it for what it is worth.
Look, folks, we took a major league shellacking last night. People did not repudiate the ideals of the Republican Party but the actions of the party. We certainly need to get our actions back in line with our ideals.
Republicans also suffered the NORMAL PARTY IN POWER LOSSES for a sixth year administration. And it was Republicans all over the idealogical spectrum: liberal jackball Lincoln Chaffee and Constitutionalist J.D. Hayworth both lost.
So I don't buy this "all is lost" mentality. We've got to regroup and start targeting the vulnerable liberals in the House and Senate for '08.
Politics is the art of the possible, so our strategy should be to look for the possibilities and exploit them.
I am reminded of the Jewish patriarch Joseph: his story is a remarkable example of success, failure, success, failure. In all circumstances he stayed true to his God and his ideals, whether things were going GREAT or if he was utterly rejected. We would do well to follow that example.
We're Doomed!
Thank you for your post. The enemy is them, not us.
The Republicans stopped being conservatives, and it cost them.
The Democrats, on the other hand, will spend the next two years trying to implement Socialist policies, reaching out to terrorists, raising taxes, and generally making a mess of things again.
When the Republicans want to start representing THE PEOPLE again and getting back to the political philosophies of Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich then we'll be on the road to recovery and take back Congress.
This is how we move on out from this point, or ought to, anyway.
Note: it is the SAME Communists who stabbed America in the back in the 1960s and 1970s. And that Communist movement had it ties to the same Communist "anti-war" movement that protested the US going to war against Nazi Germany (that is until Hitler betrayed their beloved Joe Stalin).
The "angry voices" are the same. Ramsey Clark, John Kerry, etc. "America has not been this divided" is a lie. It is better to question the authority of those who are divisive in war time.
Well said.
Have you noticed the difference of our attitude after our loss versus the liberals attitude when they lost?
They (liberals) are truly the lost & spoiled me generation that knows only today and never even bothers with tomorrow.
too late. I rember in '94 Rush saying the Republican freshmen needed to start showing some fangs intead of trying to get along with the press. forward 12 yrs.. the landscape has changed for the worse
AMEN.
