It hasnt backfired on her yet. This is not over.
With the left it is never over. They never give up.
Only our side walks away and says Well, thats that, lets get a snack
Meanwhile the left slithers back and keeps fighting while we are off trying to have a normal life again.
This is what they do.
They are just like the Borg in this regard. Remember what Picard said in that film?
I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. Weve made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what theyve done!
...........
Will we sacrifice America? Weve made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the cities, and we fall back. They assimilate whole states and we fall back.
Will we keep compromising? retreating? Or will we draw that line and say NO FURTHER, will we ever make them pay for what theyve done?
.............
Because the people we call RINOs wont draw the line, they will continue to compromise, they will continue to retreat on issue after issue.
Boehner: Obamacare is the law of the land and it will be funded.
Scott Walker: Gay marriage is here to stay.
Jeb Bush: As President I would govern like LBJ
McConnell wants to punch us in the face, defund our candidates, undermine our candidates even if they win primaries. Theyd rather see the BORG win elections than us who refuse to give the enemy what they want, eventually - just more gradually than the enemy wants it. They have no real quarrel with the Borg over the direction.
Annise Parker might be backing down temporarily, but she isnt. She is just changing her strategy not her goal, we should not breathe a sigh of relief and go on our merry way thinking the coast is clear and everything is roses now.
Maybe she isnt a BORG. Maybe she is one of those Weeping Angels from Dr. Who. Oh sure they stop moving when we shine the line on them, but as soon as we stop paying attention they are sucking our brains out.
Remember that this is not about Annise Parker, or the whole stinking city council of Houston. The people of Houston elected those NAZIs, because they support them and they support their promises and goals. Or they dont really care.
Look at what the people of Germany allowed in the 30s. Look at what the whole cruel world allow to happen in the middle east for decades. Ask the children of Rotherham what happens when good men do nothing.
Shocking and Shameful it might be, but this is just one little footnote in the vast horrible tome of the -Isms. It is hardly any more shocking and shameful than what has been taking place in this country and the whole freaking world for decades upon decades.
Millions of dead babies, molested children, mentally and physically. How many failed products of the government schools are there now? Half the people in this country seem to have no idea there are such thing as right and wrong.
So-called churches and moderates want to negotiate and compromise with the great evil of the -Isms. Then they have to compromise down again and again until their is nothing left to surrender. A downward trend into hell.
In the 80s when I grew up I thought there was a political party who was on my side. Yes, I was a kid who saw the battle. I saw it in much more muted and simpler terms back then but I saw it. I saw a Champion of my side in Ronald Reagan.
But I havent seen it since. I hoped and tried to see it in others but they never had it. There were some smart ones, there were some who were great on this or that issue and even some who seemed to see it the same way I did but they were the ones who had no power and never would have. They never rose. Why?
Because the political party I thought aligned with me and my ideals was not. There arent any. They are as bought and sold as the Democrats, and they are even less idealistic. Some of them are Democrats with an R by their name, and others are the compromisers and surrenderers.
Our side hasnt hardly begun to really identify the enemy, not really started to organize, and we are a long way from a real fight. But more and more, sure still too few -far too few- are recognizing that the Republican Party isnt going to save us, and often its not really even on our side at all.
We have just began to wake up. Just starting to stir. I do not know what shape and form this will take but I dont care as long as it is ready to do real battle.
The enemy has been gnawing away at everything that holds civilization together. The family, marriage, childhood, modesty, innocence, right and wrong, faith and even the concept of the self; our conscious.
They have faced very little resistance. They are like oil seeping through, every little crack they drip drip drip drip into us and into our society. Look at how long they fought to make abortion legal and common and now celebrated.
They started on the edges, in the shadows, oh look at those poor women, so abused... oh look at those poor homosexuals, so pushed into the closet...
And over time we compromised and negotiated, oh we dont want abortion in unregulated dirty back alleys, let us make it legal, safe and rare... oh its just another choice, who are you to have an opinion on a private matter.... yes we do want it to be unregulated even if it is in a dirty back alley! The important thing was always dead babies.
But that was just one symptom. It all comes together at the end. Even if we had 2 pretend opposition groups they naturally saw what side was really what.
Productive people taxed into poverty, while those who dont work are made better off by those taxes. Criminals celebrated while those who shoot the killers are vilified. Generations-old conflicts, race and every possible thing used to divide and conquer become causes. A once-free economy chained by regulations and government bailouts and debt.
On every single issue, we negotiated in good faith and fell back, we compromised and fell back, but they took more and more and more and we fell back.
And every time we had a tiny puny and very temporary victory we would celebrate and say darn shame they tried that and then we go home and try to live normal lives. While they, the evil, the -Isms, the enemies of civilization slithered back after we went home and retook their bases of power and started their evil work once again.
..................
Let us finally draw the line.
Let the battle be joined.
Even if we feel alone against the whole world let us stand tall and fight
Epic!
Sounds like she hasnt backed down. Only that shes going to change the wording of the subpoenas.
Bravo Zulu I’m in
Having taught in the public school, I know you are VERY correct. If only we could get people to wake up to what his happening. FAR harsher action must be taken to save this nation. Absolutely no compromise. They know what they have to do to us, we just don't realize what we have to do to them.
I've been trying to get people to see this on all fronts for YEARS. I am sick and tired of the criticism. You are exactly right.
The "pet rock party" as someone here so very very appropriately called it. GOPe needs to wear it.
Good start..
Don’t forget Rand Paul..
“I believe in old-fashioned traditional marriage, but I don’t really think the government needs to be too involved in this and I think the Republican Party can have people on both sides of the issue,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said in an interview with CNN’s Peter Hamby.
“So I dont think we can completely flip. But can we become, to use the overused term, a bigger tent?” he added. “I think we can and can agree to disagree on a lot of these issues. I think the party will evolve. Itll either continue to lose, or itll become a bigger place where theres a mixture of opinions.” remarks in a New York Times interview.
