My opinion is that it looks like a whole lot of people are blowing a piece of leftist anti-Bush propaganda (published, by the socialist/marxist Washington Post, no less) all out of proportion. Looks like a whole lot of anti-Republicans are gleefully jumping onto the Washington Post's leftist Bush bashing bandwagon. My advice to those who are so happy to bash Bush and the Republicans ought to be very careful who they go to bed with. Destroy the momentum currently building for one of the very rare conservative led governments in all of U.S. history and they're liable to wake up with a real gun-grabbing socialist whore, ahem, as in Hillary Clinton, in the White House.
No wonder conservatives can't make any real headway in government. As soon as the momentum starts building, out come the hand-wringing doom and gloom naysayers, for whom no conservative is good enough, to smear and destroy any and all progress made to date by the Republicans, and by doing so, reinstalling the leftist liberals to their socialist government command posts.
And the downward spiral to socialist hell spins on.
Time to break the cycle by not surrendering to the left or to the well-meaning, but misguided right-wing naysayers. Continue the Republican conservative revolution. Dump the RATS!
BTW, it's a real laugher when right-wingers start allying themselves with known leftists (International Answer, for example) and then have the audacity to accuse conservative FReepers of being "statists." Many of these same "right-wing conservatives" (probably mostly Buchanites or self-labeled so-called "paleocons") have openly allied themselves with the marxists, communists, anarchists, and other anti-war Hollywood type leftists against Bush, against defending America, against defending freedom, and against Republicanism in general. FReepers are statists for backing Bush? Yeah, right. By that same logic, that would make Buchanan and his paleocon followers marxists, or in the very least, useful idiots, for supporting the Washington Post and the real unAmerican, freedom hating Hollywood anti-war gun-grabbing left, et al.
"We have met the enemy and he are us." The paleocons are fond of using this Pogoism as applied to mainstream conservatives, but, in many cases, I'd say the finger points right back at them. The anti-Republican conservatives seem to be the enemy of sustained conservative government.
I'm a liberty minded individual who backs the Constitution and the Bill of Rights 100%, but there is no way that I'm going to dump Bush or dump the Republican majority. Not now. Not ever. The momentum is building and will continue to build. If we want to remove liberalism and socialism from our government and restore constitutional limits, etc., then, IMHO, we cannot possibly allow the Democrats to regain control. Reelecting president Bush, and gaining larger majorities in the House, the Senate, and the Judiciary and also in state and local governments is a must if we are ever to retake America and our Liberty. This is my goal for the coming election cycle and beyond.
Naysayers be damned. Full speed ahead!
