Up to this point we have been able to lead our lives any way we chose to, despite the insanity of the gummint, the environmentalist, the trial lawyers, ACLU and so on. The shiite is starting to hit the fanski for all of us in our every day lives - case in point the offshore drilling ban.
The populace is glued to the idiot boxes, now flat, Hurray!, obsessed with sex crimes (see this very forum), uninformed, uninspired.
I dunno. I think the pub crawl to the left is inevitable as the democrat party continues its headlong rush to stalinism. The further they go the more leftish moderates they chase out of the party and where else do they have to go?
Seems to me that the destruction of the two party system would be a major advancement in saving America. Don’t have a clue how to do it, but they may be selfdestructing on their own.
Right on Dan!! Have you ever thought about getting in to talk radio? (Assuming they don’t enact the Fairness Doctrine, that is...)
“I’m not wasting my vote on a backstabbing punk like McCain.” Oh, you won’t be wasting your vote if you don’t vote for Juan, you’ll be using it to help Obammessiah. You know it and we all know it, but hey, whatever makes you feel empowered sparky. There are lots of libertarians planning on diving into the same pool to feed Bob Barr’s ego as Barry’s useful idiots. Go for it!
I was so right there with ya, till you typed this paragraph!!!
What make you feel the way you do is the inexorable way the left keeps the hydrolic pressure on our government every day, in every way and you no longer believe we could ever change any of it back like it's supposed to be. Well, I just can't agree with you on that.
But on the rest of it... You couldn't be more right on the money!!!
I’m with you... if Obama does win, I’m going to try, for the first time I can ever remember, to ignore politics. What good will it do me if we have no voice. The scary thing is how bad Democrats can wreck this country if we let them. Heck, I don’t think even Carter had this opportunity to inhibit industry with Global Warming bills, destroy our budget with universal health care, and obliterate our culture by electing liberal Supreme Court justices.
I am no fan of McCain, but considering the options... OK, it’s coming down to this for me. Do you think we stand a chance of influencing him when he is in office? I know the Obamanation would not listen to a thing conservative have to say, but maybe McCain would.
Nice rant, BTW.
I dunno about that either. Seems to me that on the great issues of the day, illegals and energy exploration, there are vast bipartisan majorities that want the same thing, and it falls on deaf ears in Washington and the DBM. As long as all the candidates agree on something it never becomes an issue. Like Bush-Kerry. They would never discuss illegal aliens. Just never came up. A good old Skull & Bones agreement, is what I think.
Low and behold though... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2030364/posts
Well thank you very much for the kind words, Cymbaline! Actually, I have a friend who has a regional hunting and fishing show on talk radio, and he’s insisted the same thing - starting with being his sidekick! I turned him down for now though, since I don’t hunt, fish, or want to wake up at 5:30 on Saturday mornings! But seriously, I’d love to do that sometime as something to suppliment my day (much in the same way Mark Levin does). Thanks again!
I agree that any non-leftists judges appointed by McCain — should he ever do it, which is not a sure thing — would perhaps not even get confirmation hearings. But consider this: Stevens who is as old as dirt might become unable to continue on the bench, and the Bolsheviks won’t confirm a McCain nominated replacement. so, the SCOTUS is 4-4 between the constitutionalists and the communists. What then? And what if Ruth Baader Meinhof Ginsberg joins Stevens in his infirmity? A 4-3 court? Are their decisions as binding as 5-4 votes?
I feel the same way, and McCain is our great white hope. Damn I wish I could buy a ticket off of this planet.
I'm with you 100% on that. I don't want to ignore or modify the Constitution at all - merely pointing out the voting vs. not voting McCain argument, one that's likely been argued to death elsewhere on FR.
Very nice job.
I will probably compromise my principles and vote for McCain, but I have no illusions that he might be good for the country.
Thank you very much for your kudos. Feels good to know that there are millions upon millions of people out there angry at the same kind of crap going on in this country, the crap that is serving to brainwash the electorate into garbage like global warming and class warfare.
I don’t have a thing to add to your expose except one word...
PRAGMATISM!
Not any more!
Thanks Dan!!!
