Ever since FDR and with the brief break between 1980 and 1988, which we call the Reagan era, this country has been moving inexorably to the left. Whether a Republican or a Democrat was in office, or in control of Congress the march was always toward bigger government and less individual freedom.
It seemed as though we were doomed to experience the political equivalent of the proverbial frog in the water syndrome. Every year, the liberal Dems and RINO Republicans turned the temp up ever so slightly till it seemed we would all be boiled to death in the cauldron of the nanny state.
And then, because we don’t have a civics literacy test to vote, people who couldn’t even spell vote, or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House named Barack Hussein Obama. He immediately turned up the heat under that cauldron so high and so quick that people started jumping out of the water all over the place.
If John McCain had won we would have had a replay of Bush 1 AND 2. The temperature of the water would continue to rise albeit more slowly, but with the same result in the long run.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would be mildly irritated and offer only tepid opposition. The Republicans in Congress would be unwilling to voice real opposition to a President in OUR party. If McCain had been elected, the Neocons would be writing flattering editorials in the Weekly Standard and the Wall Street Journal. Congressman Guiteriez and President McCain would have been posing in the rose garden with big smiles as they received accolades from La Raza for having finally passed an amnesty.
President Calderon and President McCain would be toasting the elimination of those pesky things called borders and major steps taken toward creation of a North American Union.
If McCain had been elected, Sarah Palin would not be free to tell it like it is, the Republicans Congress would never be voting in 100 opposition to left leaning legislation, there would be no Republican in Ted Kennedy’s seat and Chris Matthews would only have had twitching of the toes, instead of that tingle that went all the way up his leg when Obama was elected.
But worst of all, if McCain had been elected, America would have been moving down the same collectivist path and there would have been no Tea Party, no 9-12ers, no rally for America on the Washington Mall, and WE WOULD NOT BE HERE!
So the race is on for the soul of America. The President and his left wing allies in the Congress are going to look at every opportunity to destroy the Constitution before we have a chance to save it. So put your running shoes on. If the Republican Party isn’t keeping up, take it over or run it over. My main concern is that after we make big inroads in the fall, folks will go back to complacency and think the job has been done.
I am assuming that's what it means.
What was a dumb thing to say?
That zer0’s voters were to stupid to spell the word vote or say it in English.
Really? I did not hear the speech. Supposedly there is a transcript somewhere.
Where can you see or hear this on Video or Audio?
Can someone provide a link?
LOL, it’s at the top of the thread....
I don’t disagree with a single thing in that text of the speech. He is absolutely right. We lurch to the left when Democrats are in power and we saunter to the left when Republicans are in power. Exactly right.
In my post #4 I copy/pasted right out of the OP, now it has changed????
Mister Tancredo is a fool’s fool.
It was originally Trancredo’s speech????
This got changes somehow....and no, I have not been drinking!
You know it’s BS, I know it’s BS, TOm knows it’s BS. Yet you are worried who it might offend. I reject, 100% of political correctness. Each time, every time.
BTTT
Hey, check this out.
This whole thread changed from just a few minutes back.
Bizarre
Look at the top of this thread, it’s different now!
Member of a Party being anti war, 9/11 truthers, and the list goes on.
I don’t notice anything different. Looks like the same speech I read earlier
There are dozens of quotes, etc. on Baldwin as a loon truther
On 9/11
What Really Happened on 9/11?
Only One Presidential Candidate Asks...
Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin is the only candidate from a FEC- recognized party to challenge the official story of the tragedy of 9-11.
Representing the largest and fastest-growing third party based on voter registration (Ballot Access news), Baldwin joins the growing list of military, scientific and other well-credentialed experts who agree,’the government’s account of what happened that day simply does not pass the smell test’
Arrrgh, my bad....too many tabs open.
Silently slinking away...
I don’t care who it offends, I just don’t want to give them additional ammo.
Thanks, I didn’t know that, never paid any attention to him anyway.
