Nows the Time to Speak up, Stand up, and Fight! . . . so wheres George Bush?
Many men and women are fundamentally optimists, and indeed if they were not so, sometimes the days and nights of life itself could seem somewhat intolerable. It is really grisly what has happened in the last week, with the Supremes, and Bush and his applauding the agenda, but as so many predicted it should not be a surprise that this would all happen under a Republican President and not a Democratic one but it does damper optimism about our future.
Because, the way things are going, it will get a lot worse, very fast. The universe started as a nest, but a nest for only the beginning spring chickens, and then things get pretty individualist and dangerous as we fly out from the nest the universe in this sense much more than just the physical universe but also history in motion.
But then, some think the universe of this world has to be a nest for ever, that we are never to leave this nest, that simply being in a nest should be the end in itself, and since we are going to sit in this nest forever together, then its all about valuing diversity of others, because, you know, we are all stuck in this nest. This is called (modern) liberalism its always totalitarian in the end, e.g. international socialism (Communism) and/or National Socialism (NAZI) et all, e.g. Ted its a beanie Party Boat Kennedy, Hillary I was shocked, but who else can make me laugh like Bill? Clinton, etc..
Under this liberalism, the nest is government. No matter how many are in the nest, and told they cannot leave, the nest itself is just a few, . . . like President Bush's drugs for seniors, for example . . . like the nine justices for example. They can tell millions of other folks what they can or cannot do which wouldnt be so bad if the nine themselves were restrained as well as to what they can or cannot decree on according some rules set down in a document, but that document or guide book if you will is pretty much like the VCR manual that was thrown out with the fish bones.
I think its time for non-cooperation. The states, the people, should simply not cooperate anymore. I mean, what difference would it make simply going along with this crap, and this Bush applauding it and all? It isnt the Demos who are going to save us, and now it for sure looks like it isnt going to be Republican George Bush, either. He cut your taxes? Green in your nose he did, and spent more then what he cut - your kids will be paying for it for the next 60 years, a trade off of the years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 . . . the next 60 years of spending . . . for the senior vote in 2004. And, in the end, he may not get so many of them seniors to vote for him anyway, any more than he thinks hes gonna get the sombrero vote, either.. Gosh, thanks for the tax cut, Prez!
So, we have big name conservatives speaking up on the Buffalo Bush thing and his bandaid on his mouth (Bandaid Mouth Bush), and they are now getting attacked (I never liked listening to him/her, anyway) by some very strange Bushies who all of a sudden like sodomy as a way to value diversity, and you know the last two rulings from the Supremes all adds up to affirmative action for Gays and Gay marriage and adoption of children (it doesnt? Why? ... because the Supremes didnt rule on that ~yet~ ? And, a couple weeks ago, they didnt rule on what just came down ... so just wait a few days or weeks, and they will if some leftist City government doesnt beat them to it). So all these folks who took conservatism into the mainstream and out of the closet and turned the silent majority into a not so silent force the phony liberal dominant media has to reckon with, well, they are all now according to some very strange Bushies someone we never really should have liked listening to in the first place.
But, the Bushy Ked-loafers can deny it all they want (Ive even noticed they are starting to take to wearing check-pants so they can join the check-pants country club Republicans), but there is a big rumble starting to happen, discontent among real conservatives considering what just happened in the last few days, and they are starting to say:
. . . now is the time to speak up! , to stand up! , to fight!
. . . of course the obvious question occurs yes, now is the time to speak up, stand up, and fight . . . so wheres George Bush?
Hes got a bandaid on his mouth.
Take that bandaid off your mouth - and you shall be free!
to the left of me...
Hear! Hear! Cucumber sandwiches all around! What is that Hatter? Where are my cucumbers?
Yes. Neocons do this stuff. You can look it up.
Is this some French thing?
You're drunk, aren't you?
Utter rubbish.
but there is a big rumble starting to happen, discontent among real conservatives considering what just happened in the last few days, and they are starting to say:
From the commentary today on "Realclearpolitics.com" --
Despite the disagreements many of the narrowly-focused constituencies on the right have with President Bush, there seems to be an overall appreciation of his character, integrity, and his unwavering commitment to U.S. national security. There also seems to be an understanding that Bush, like Reagan, is helping to facilitate a continued shift toward conservatism in U.S. public opinion.
Today, many conservatives say, American public opinion is shifting their way, so there is no reason to be impatient or to pressure Mr. Bush into doing things before the election that might hurt him next year.
"The Republicans are looking at decades of dominance in the House and the Senate, and having the presidency with some regularity," Mr. Norquist said. "So if this year the tax cut isn't the one we wanted no biggie. There's a sense that we can afford to wait."
This tolerance of Bush only runs so deep, of course, and if the economy doesn't enjoy a robust recovery the President can't afford to have conservative groups sitting on their hands next November.
Meanwhile, the upside for conservative groups in the coming election is bigger than ever: if the economy does spring back to life and conservatives come out en masse for the President, it could produce a landslide victory and an historic mandate for Bush and his conservative agenda.
Count me in as one of the (few) here that doesn't consider this as the end, or the beginning of the end, of the world. I dont see the nighmares coming true. Things are gonna be alright, more or less..
