Fair's Fair (good commentary!)
Cake Eater Chronicles ^ | November 8, 2008 | Kathy Nelson

It's been interesting reading conservative blogs over the past couple of days. There appears to be one main issue floating about: how should we treat President-Elect Barack Obama? There are two schools of thought. The first being that he has been elected President of the United States of America and we should treat him with the respect that is due to his office, unlike the left, who attacked President Bush from day one and compared him to Hitler, called him Chimpy, etc. Criticize his policies, but do it respectfully. Those that adhere to this school of thought seems to believe, by doing this, they will be taking the moral high ground, thus following through on their conservative principles. While the debate about just what "conservative principles" actually should be in the wake of McCain's defeat still rages, they're nonetheless all about keeping it classy, because conservatives, apparently, should be classy. The second school of thought is, basically, screw Obama, he's going to get it from all angles, and who cares if he's President---he's not their president, they don't agree with his policies, they think he's a bald-faced liar, and they're going after him.

While I appreciate what the first school is attempting to do, I have to say, my gut instinct is, if we do that, if we take the high road, Republicans will lose the next election. And the one after that. And the one after that...

” Never in the history of the Republic has the opposition party had so many forces working against it. The media and it’s overwhelming advocacy for the liberal ideology will make it all but impossible for Republicans to mount a measurable resurgence in just four short years.”

But in the history of the world, this has been seen in Mussolini’s Italy, Hitler’s Germany, Zimbabwe, USSR, any South American dictatorship, Venezuela under Chavez, China, and anywhere totalitarians flourish.

Our news and entertainment media long, long ago became an organ of the democrat party.

I wonder what the increase in Home Schooling & Private Schooling will be in the coming years?

If it starts to become significant, it will be made illegal. Of course lots of things that are hard to detect are illegal, but still go on. Still it will have to be "after hours" and the kids will still have to show up for the indoctrination sessions from 9-3 or maybe 8-5.

“Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.”
yes, we all know the assault on our guns will be coming, and from many directions. He'll have a battle on his hands that he won't relish if he does. Not a threat, just a prediction.
If he's stupid enough to follow Clintons plan of focusing the federal government on investigating and harassing citizens that happen to be pro second amendment, he'll have his hat handed to him, as will any democrats that support his policies. He's lied to Americans on this issue before and during the election, to roll out this as an agenda is pure foolishness on his part. Of course, all of his agenda is foolishness, but that's another subject entirely.

>>>The left owns the channels of communication. If the radical leftists called Bush a chimp, how much play did it get? Zero. If you call Obama a chimp, how much play do you think it will get? The entire conservative movement will be so marginalized as to produce an “open season” in the public eye.<<<

You’re right. It’s already happening, in the street, on the blogs, on the news. Anyone who questions 0bama is labeled a sore loser, nutty, extremist.

If conservatives ever want to be elected again, they/we are going to have to start with basics again. It’s no good to tell people that 0bama’s going to ruin the country because they won’t believe you; they don’t want to believe you.

I think maybe start reminding people, one at a time if need be, that for the most part, people live conservative lives. I plan to gently remind the liberals I know that they live the same as I do; work hard, pay taxes, spend time with their children. Contrasting 0bama’s policies with the way they live doesn’t work, because most democrats have their heads in the clouds on how they think the world should be.

But if we can contrast how they live and how it mirrors the way conservatives live, maybe they can make the connection on their own that conservatism isn’t the evil thing they’ve been told.

I am as anti-abortion as the next guy, but it is a law that should be state by state. There is no state that can outlaw abortion, so why even use it as an issue........just to keep the religious and the conservatives afraid.

When our military members start putting in their papers to come off of active duty because they cannot in good conscience follow orders from a communist wanting to destroy our nation, more people will awaken to the horror they elected. And then when Obama reinstates the Draft, lol, all the rest will open their eyes, as well.

Obama is not my president.

He is our enemy.

And if things get bad enough pursuant to his fascist/socialist policies, then I will join the patriot resistance against the Obama administration.

BTW, that resistance will be constituted of citizens of every political stripe, not just Republicans. Obama is against America and all she stands for.

Fair is Fair indeed.

The so called Democrat party is dead.

We have just had a nationalist/socialist Putsch in America's political/economic system, "thank you" to a few Marxist billionaires, and the Muslim Wealth traducing the World economy, and a bought MSM, and "anti-ethical" fund raising.We have a president who is a violator of the Logan Act ( Kenya, Iraq, etc).

No ideed. He is NOT my president.

Watch Obama work to stifle ALL public resistance to his policies.

I recognize Obama as America's equivalent of Canada's former Marxist/Sociialist Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Canada is still digging herself out from under his crap 40 years after the fact.Obama is Trudeau x 10.Count on it.
