It's the majority of the governorships.
It's the House.
It's the Senate.
It's the Presidency.
It's a majority of the vote.
It's a mandate.
When we're all done celebrating, that's the the hair of the dog that ought to sober us up. This election may have gone in the right direction on a number of fronts, but the cultural war that the Left has waged against us and the very existence of this free and sovereign nation continues unabated and for the most part, unchecked. The plain fact is that almost half of our voting citizens are willing to cast their lot for treason, appeasement and the soft core fascism of the Left. They're still here and they aren't going away.
Not until our courts have been scoured of Clintonista holdovers; not until our schools have been swept clean of a pernicious, hate-America, curriculum designed to produce ignorance, sheepery and an overweening sense of entitlement; not until our legislatures cease to command at gunpoint that which must and always should be matters of personal conscience; not until then will we call ourselves truly free once more. As Theoden said in Helm's Deep, "How did it come to this?"
BTW - you're not a pessimist. You're a realist. A realist with a keen sense of the tragic aspect of human nature. We forget the lessons of the Greeks at our peril.
True, but you watch: like a dog coming back to eat its own poop, the DNC will return in like manner to these two steaming piles for another yum fest.
Where's McAwful? I have not seen him the last two days.
Love, JoeGar
Happy that the Jersey Shore Counties are red!
It's all relative, you see. Do you understand relativity? It is a close second when it's only 3% behind first place. If it doesn't scare you that a shill like Kerry comes that close to taking the White House, you are no conservative.
Sticks 'n stones......
It is SHOCK and AWE again.
I see that you a##holes couldn't even wait 24 hours to start up your crap.
Well, you got a little more time like you wished for.
I understand the race in PA was historically close, and I like to think you and your hard-working friends had a large part in changing a number of minds. And those people you converted will convert others. Like seeds in fertile ground, the ideas you put in some peoples heads will still be there come 2008.
Down here in Western North Carolina, we had a sixty-eight percent turnout, and the Republicans swept every single office by a large margin. Bush won with 61% of the vote. That other candidate whose name I have already forgotten only got a girly 38%. Badnarik got 1%, and Nader got a grand total of 15 write-in votes.
I think the best thing we can all do right now is just be happy; In reflecting on this election, there is much to be positive about. For example :
Thanks to the democrats, people everywhere are on guard against vote fraud. The RATS are going to have to come up with some new tricks if they want to win an election ever again.
Never again will anyone with any sense at all trust CBS or the other dying media outlets. This election exposed them for the desperate little crooks and cheats that they are.
In a humiliating first, the House Minority Leader was voted out of office. (I'm going to miss all the jokes about him, though.)
OTOH, there is plenty of work to be done. First, we need to start grooming a candidate to challenge Hillary in 2008. Right now, I dont see anybody on the horizon.
Second, we need to insist that Bush and congress start acting like conservatives. That means smaller, not bigger government, President Bush. More freedom, less regulation. Lower taxes. Fiscal responsibility. Strong military.
Thirdly, we need to keep educating the people we meet not in a pushy way, though.
When given a choice, Americans always reject socialism. We need to make sure that the candidate who carries the Republican torch in 2008 is not just Hillary Lite.
Right now, I need to write a little letter-to-editor to the local paper. The editor is a flaming liberal (go figure), an on the day after her party was skunked by the voters she ran an editorial bloviating about "Now it's time to heal the nation".
I got your "healing" right here, Ms. Editor!
Why should I reread that which I wrote?
I'd suggest you leave sleeping dogs lie, pal.
Easily done, too.
Just find something constructive to do.
