It IS cowardice, pure and simple.
“The most terrifying fire one will ever witness out of a GOP senator comes in his response to a conservative who requests “Stand fast for conservative principles.”
In that instance, it is crystal clear that no Democratic Senator comes close to matching a wobbly Republican for viciousness.”
If that is so, then that cretin is NOT a “republican”. That cretin is a useless coward and tool who deserves public contempt, public scorn, and public repudiation, followed by quick ejection from office at the earliest opportunity.
And if this is so, then they are as despicable as the Dems are, to my mind; EVEN MORE SO, because they callously take us and our votes for granted, and then piss down our backs and call it rain, and then roll over on their backs like cheap French whores consorting with the German invaders.
I’m an American, NOT a Republican, NOT a Democrat, NOT a Libertarian, NOT ANYTHING BUT an AMERICAN first. I happen to vote Republican at the moment, because in the political reality that we currently live in, it is currently the best way to try and stop the communist dems from demolishing the country (and I say “currently”). Some out here have differences of opinion on that, but hey, that’s part of being an AMERICAN - We’re in the SAME fighting hole together, and I have their six, as they have mine.
I am for the individual right of EVERY AMERICAN to be left the hell alone, to live out their lives in as unfettered, unregulated, unmolested, uncontested, liberty, wealth and freedom as God intended and in whatever manner as their own unique talents can take them, either up or down, as long as no harm is done to someone elses’ likewise rights in the pursuit of those goals. With that right of Citizenship comes duty, obligation, and responsibility;
The DUTY is to preserve those freedoms for those coming along behind us...by electing intelligent, lawmakers who understand the Constitution’s uniqueness in history...
The OBLIGATION is to preserve that liberty that was handed down to us by infinitely better men and women than ourselves...at infinitely greater cost and expense in blood and life...by not letting their sacrifices go unremembered and un-honored...
The RESPONSIBILITY is to DEFEND it, by any means necessary, should it come down to that. We either do it, or we’ll wind up leaving it to our children to do it, and THAT is despicable by anyone’s measure of a man.
If that makes me a Conservative, so be it. If that makes me a “Classical Liberal” (*whatever the hell THAT is), so be it. If that makes me a Libertarian, or a Paleo-con, or a Neo-con, or anything else, so be it. I will call ANY man brother and ANY woman sister who believes in these AMERICAN principles and is willing to stand up for them. We’ll probably get to make that choice very, very soon, as things continued to unwind they seem to be.
If the two “state-sanctioned” political parties can’t get behind the rights of the individual to be left the hell alone, then it’s time to neuter them.
How? I don’t have that answer. The Tea Party? Possibly. Infiltrate BOTH parties and rip out the Liberals at the root? Probably.
I only know that I am beyond pissed, beyond furious. And I want my country back.
If I ever write an autobiography, it will be entitled
“Bile Rising”.
/second rant off...
Not me. I was in that condition late 2008 - early 2009. That is because years earlier I really believed in Bush, and I remember how positively I held Republicans 16 years ago 1994. That was disappointment. Real disappointment. I was livid.
Obama didn't disappoint me. He and Pelosi turned out exactly as I expected.
We don't have freedom because voters expect Washington to fix their problems, maybe run their lives. After Obama the next con man will come along with a new sales pitch for the same old product,"I will be your Daddy. Someone else will pay"
haledude, you are on a roll Brother...I got goosebumps on that one...
