I don't understand this. Where were you looking? There were "strong conservatives" (whatever you mean by that) running in the primaries. Weu had Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo. They didn't win. For whatever reason, they didn't garner enough support to stay in the race.
Many on FR (not you necessarily, but many) seem to be of the mindset of "my guy didn't win so I'm going to quit and stay home." IMO this election is still worth fighting if for no other reason than to keep Hillary Clinton, an Alinsky-Marxist socialist, and/or Hussein Obama, an Alinsky-Fabian socialist, out of the White House. I don't know what your specific definition of "strong conservative" is, but being a quitter is neither "strong" nor "conservative".
Fall in line like a good little drone and swallow the crap they are feeding you.... go ahead.... its how you catch pigs anyway...
There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange
students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the prof
noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and
stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told
him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting
communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his
country’s government and install a new communist regime.
In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange
question. He asked: “Do you know how to catch wild pigs?” The professor thought it was a joke
and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.
“You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting
corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the
free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down
one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the
fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the
fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until
you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The
pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat
that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around
inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the
free ;corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the
woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.”
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees
happening in America . The government keeps pushing us toward
Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of
programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax
exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant
crops, welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.
One should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free
lunch and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper
than you can do it yourself.
If you see that all of this wonderful government ‘help’ is a problem
confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send
this on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your
way of life, then you will probably delete this email. But God help you
when the gate slams shut!
