Disrespected Conservatives: Only Yourselves to Blame
North Star Writers Group ^ | May 12, 2008 | Dan Calabrese

My friend and colleague David Karki is about as devoted to the United States Constitution, along with its principles of limited government, as anyone I’ve ever known. And unlike the Ron Paul types who have tumbled from this perch headlong into international isolationism, Dave still recognizes and respects the blessing of American exceptionalism and our need to maintain a strong international presence – including in Iraq, where he steadfastly supports American victory.

Now that’s what I call a real conservative.

So why is David Karki OK with the prospect of Barack Obama becoming the 44th president of the United States? It’s because American conservatives have become frustrated and grouchy, and some figure any result will be a disaster, so we might as well let the Democrats take the blame for it.

Them’s the choices this time around. And not voting is a choice.

Didn't we already do this

We split and McCain won by default. Hopefully we learn from this error. But that's no reason to give the likes of Obama the reigns of government.

I think you just supported Obama for President.

I don’t care how you get there, it’s foolish and destructive to America.

Is that "bitter?"

Ask yourself: Who would McCain rather be angry with him, us or the Democrats?
