I appreciate that. I sometimes can't believe what I am saying when simply trying to respond appropriately to the things manifesting before my eyes. But I don't want to sit like a deer in the headlights and just let the insanity keep coming without a peep. Greeting it with an "Oh my, that's a little precocious don't you think?" just isn't going to cut it for me.

I want these communist "progressives" to know that they're crossing a line wherein a "civilized" response can no longer be considered a compassionate response. I also want "compassionate" conservatives to understand that too. If reason doesn't take a strong stand against insanity when a soft approach has failed then at some point reason will hold no sway over anyone.

When faced with unrestrained madness many a moral and ethical person will find it hard to keep their bearings. To put it another way; it isn't possible to live with insanity and give it a place of acceptance and prominence along with things like honor, honesty, loyalty and the like. IOWs the beneficial ideals of rational thought and action. That reduces all concepts of behavior to the chaos of indefinable meaninglessness.

That is correct. And it is gratifying to have a place to see that there are others in the country who think the same and that we aren’t the moonbats. Funny. Moonbats always point at us and acuse us of what THEY do. Strategery! ;o)

Thank you FrouFrou for bringing this post to my attention.

It is good to know that there are others out there that have a good grasp of what is taking place, and have rational reactions to it.

TigersEye, what you bring to my mind is the fact that CompassionateConservative is never a place to govern from. We should expect compassion where appropriate, but it is somewhat juvenile to define yourself in those terms when so many actions depend on you being taken seriously as an adult leader of the free world.

When Iran looks at us, do you think compassionate puts terror in their hearts? Do the democrats view our leader with apprehension? IMO, they have the idea they can hit him with paint balls all day long day after day, and all he’ll do is make some bland statement at some point.

No. We must let the other side know, that when they do some of the things they do, that the punishment is going to be swift and set them back decades for having pushed us too far.

Instead I see us being pushed back decades ever closer to the abyss. When I say pushed back decades, I don’t mean to 1960 standards. I mean that we are pushed so far back, that it will take us decades just to get to the 1960s again, if ever.

I personally believe that we will never get back there, but that should be our goal. We should never settle to live this life when common decency is there for the taking.

To heck with leftists and their brave new world. It’s time to push back. It’s time to push them off the cliff. The time for compassion is over, unless finally at last the compassion for the true victims of the left and has been taking place.
