Excuse My Skepticism.

RESIZE: AAA

As a recovering Republican, I’ve seen the best the party has to offer… specifically the Reagan years which are, for the conservative, the benchmark against which we measure those who would claim the mantle.

For decades this has been the party establishment’s prerogative. They picked the candidate. In all their hidebound, inarticulate, muddle-headed wisdom, time after time they picked the wrong people at just exactly the right time in our country’s political history, to bring us utter and humiliating defeat.

We witnessed the rise of the new media and the advent of the nationwide political action movement which became the Tea Party Patriots. We drove both the liberals and the establishment ‘Repubics’ (thanks, Mark Levin) crazy trying to find some leadership… someone they could isolate to destroy, thereby (they thought) destroying the movement once and for all.

They’ve been spectacularly unsuccessful as we all know, and the best they can do is to attack our conservative women leaders… viciously and repeatedly, as though this would have the desired result. I have my own private theory that at least some of the vitriol is because most of our women are babes and most of theirs are stone dogs. If you need proof of that, just look at a picture of Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin next to Janet (basso profundo) Napolitano, or many others of the hairy-lip-and-arm-pits cadre of lovelies that Hizzhonor Barack the First has orbiting around his regime.

I’m still skeptical about the guts and the steadfastness of our current leadership. Once again we find them content to let the DeMarxists define the argument and, because of their out-and-out timidity, the leadership looks to cave and make a last-minute ‘deal’ that will, at best, cut 39 billion dollars from the budget. Not exactly the bold strokes we’ve been looking for.

We hear the Republican leadership making ‘tailored for patriot ears’ statements. One gets the idea that, given their own volition, Paul Ryan’s comprehensive program for salvaging our economy would be frittered away in meaningless compromise and backroom deal-making.

    If one peson rules for betterment of the people, it’s called’ kingly’, if that person rules for their self,’ tyranny’. If a few people rule for the common good, ‘aristocracy’, if the few rule for their own advantage,’ oligarchy’. If the many, the majority rule for the good of the people,’polity’, when the many or majority rules for their own personal gains and not the betterment of the people,’Democracy perverted’. Aristotle states that the majority can be selfish, foolish and tyrannical as any tyrant or oligarch! Tyrants,materialist and democrats rule for their own private advantage. They serve for their own wants and characteristically indulge in every vice that political power can buy. Aristotle saw this, 336 b.c, the same can be said for 2011!

    I concur. We cannot let the Republican Party apparatchiks just push us over. We had to drag them kicking and screaming to victory in November. Without our passion and fight, there would have been no turn over in the House and the gigantic turnover on the state level.
    Too many political operatives buy into the Democratic playbook as the general rule book. While there are certainly tactics we need, bowing to their identity political rules and patronage practices are not a winning formula for the right. We have to realize these people must be monitored as closely as the collectivist left.
    I too am skeptical, but I refuse to be hopeless.
    On Wisconsin. That was a battle the Tea Party movement won, not the moribund Republican Party. We galvanized and drove that miracle.

      Conservatives can clearly state what conservatism is not. There needs to be better communication of conservative values, the historical benefit of conservatism and the detriment of modern liberalism by stating Rome, Greece all perished from liberlism. Conservatism is not a person or a political group, not as if there is a big difference between both political parties, but rather a time proven ideology. Conservatism is not only American idea but has deep roots in nature of human beings. There needs to be a distinction made between rino’s and conservatives. The tea party has been made the enemy of the state, not the progressive, liberals, materialist or whatever there nomenclature is. Basically the group who would have one beliveve that your wealth, property would better serve if distributed to government reciepients and your ideas are racist, sexist, greedy unless they originated from them.
