Was just thinking about earlier and wondering where you'd been.

Remember back in November when we were all excited because we had won control of the Senate in spite of massive dirty tricks and voter fraud on the part of democrats in many places? We were thrilled because now, finally, we would begin to see the conservative agenda move forward. We would see conservative judges appointed to the bench. We would finally begin to see some sense come into play regarding racial issues. Well, guess again.
It is hard for people who are decent and responsible and law abiding to conceive of the depths of indecency and irresponsibility and corruption to which some of our fellow human beings (and I use that term loosely) will sink. It is only natural that we would think that because we try hard to do the right thing and to be good people that others seek to do the same because people tend to view others in the same way they are themselves. We tend to give others every chance to prove themselves fully expecting that if given enough room and shown enough support and patience they will eventually do the right thing. I think if we were continuing to hold out this hope for the Senate democrats we can forget it. It was bad enough that they tried to use the Lott non-issue to bully the Republicans into cowering at their feet, but much as I feared, we gave them an inch and they want the proverbial mile...not that even that will ever be enough to satisfy them. I daresay they won't be satisfied until every reasonable person in America is effectively shackled, branded and accounted for and they (the democrat power elites) are the only ones left with choices over our lives and money. But I digress. For the past two days they have done nothing except to make it abundantly clear that they fully intend to obstruct, demand, filibuster, and whatever else they can think up to prevent anything from getting done.
The floor of the Senate, once considered to be a great and honorable place where reasonable men and women work to promote the greater good of the nation, has become nothing more than a glorified playroom and a stage where the shrill voice of Tiny Tommy Daschle can be heard echoing through the halls as he stamps his tiny little feet in the throes of yet another of his ceaseless string of temper tantrums. It has become a place where an anti-American agenda is promoted daily in a constant barrage of verbal diarrhea and the undermining of the president is standard fare. What I want to know is why this is not treasonous. The condition of the Senate has deteriorated beyond anything resembling reasonable and makes a complete mockery of our system of government and justice.
This forum is often attacked by infantile liberal disruptors from the DU and other such cesspools of cognitive banality. They cannot post without hurling baseless insults. Sometimes they are amusing, sometimes annoying, but thanks to the vigilance of Jim and the moderators along with the help of the FReepers they are quickly eradicated. Were they allowed to stay, their presence would undoubtedly become a destructive force. The Senate democrats are like forum disruptors. In fact, so juvenile is their behavior that it isn't hard at all to imagine that these very people make up the bulk of the posters at the DU. It has gotten to the point that they cannot even speak without hurling insults. They can be amusing and annoying, but the people have voted them OUT of control. That is why we have our system the way it is. So why are they still in control? Their disruption to the process has become destructive and should not, MUST not be tolerated! Where the h*ll are the moderators???
I know that my fellow conservatives are as sick to death of the racebaiting and namecalling and obstructionism and the attacks on the president as I am, but we can't blame it entirely on the democrats. They are the bratty children. But the Senate Republicans are too much like the overindulgent parents who let them get away with anything. Ever see parents who are always on the defensive with their kids? That's exactly what they remind me of. So what can we FReepers do?? I, for one, can't just keep sitting here screaming at the TV day after day. We need to send a strong message to Washington that we're not going to put up with it anymore.
