Democrats, You Are So Grounded.

The bench mark behavior of any stereotypical Liberal is always over the top, irrational, and hysterical.

Liberal’s DNA is predisposed to hyperbole, visions of grandeur, faux messianism, and Napoleonic complexes. Everything is always someone else's fault. Liberals are never wrong only pushing the envelope. It’s not an excuse for their bad behavior – oh, wait - yes it is. It’s not their fault.

As a responsible parent would you allow your teenager to take the car after you caught them lying? No. It’s the same with Liberals. Foolish and irresponsible behavior ought not be rewarded by allowing them the keys of government. Liberals’ definition of truth is not the same as everyone else. To quote one prominent Liberal, “it depends on what the meaning of is, is”. Half truths or miss-speaks are all the same sides of the coin.

As a boy, I read everything I found relating to 19^th century Mountain Men. The author of one book had the main character reference an Indian god called ‘Hioka’. It’s been quite some time since I read the book, so my memory might be a little fuzzy. As I recall, Hioka was one particular tribe’s god of contrariness.  Anyone stricken by Hioka couldn’t help but lie. One would always do the opposite of what you or they wanted. If it was a beautiful sunshiny day they’d say it was snowing. You tell someone to sit they stand, tell them run they sit, what’s up is down and down is up and so on.

Liberals have been stricken by the god Hioka; it must be a required initiation. You think I am wrong? Let’s look at some of the most egregious examples as evidence. When ever a liberal says one thing you can take to the bank it means the opposite. Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the surge is not working yet the evidence that it is, is quantifiable; Liberals say there were no WMD’s. What they are really saying is “hope they don’t find them before we take over”. As a personal aside, I was on the ground there in 2003 when we found aircraft, Russian tanks and ammunition cached, in the sand. How easy it would have been to bury or move WMD’s prior to the invasion. I’m not asking I’m telling.

More evidence?  Sure - examples are endless. Remember Murtha calling our soldiers the equivalent of invading storm troopers guilty of international crimes? He’s supposed to be one of us – a good guy - an American. After it was proven his irresponsible partisan rhetoric was false, he was still incapable of apologizing or admitting he was wrong. A lone college student challenged him near an elevator. Murtha tried to avoid facing the young man by performing the liberal ‘dodge the controversy’ quick step. At his age, the quick step looks so foolish.

Democrats can afford to ignore Conservatives. They know that their media mechanics will kill a controversial story; only if you’re a Republican, asking for toilet paper, will it turn into a mini-series. The most delusional Liberal claim of all is that partial birth abortions protect the life of the mother. Give me a break.

You do have to give Democrats credit, no matter how foolish and delusional their cause or behavior, at the first sign of trouble, they circle the wagons. For example, their males can prance around in women’s underwear in San Francisco parades and their women easily mistaken for Frenchmen yet their people will always come to their defense. They are a loyal bunch. Conservatives could easily learn a lesson on party loyalty from Liberals.

As the only adult in the room, Conservatives need to exercise parental authority by establishing prudent boundaries for recalcitrant Liberals. Until Liberals can be trusted to act as responsible adults they need a time out. Ground them. Take away their keys until their party displays maturity and responsibility.

Then, allow them to drive a little here and a little there, never after dark and only with an adult. Considering the gravity and import of the issues we’re facing, Democrats should never be elected to any position including dogcatcher. Our country doesn’t have the luxury of being as resilient as we once were. I don’t think the US can bounce back from a disastrous executive. I’m more pessimistic than others. Current leaders must have unyielding integrity and be able to hit the ground running.

You know – after thinking about it; it’s more responsibility than Liberals can realistically handle. Democrats, you are so grounded.

LAST CONSERVATIVE STANDING

Has anyone noticed that liberals never express shame, never apologize, and never compromise? Their modus operandi is the constant chipping away at established institutions, this administration and journalistic vigilantism on American values. Am I the only who sees a pattern? Why, they even steal our representatives and presidential candidates.

 I was a conservative before there was a President Ronald Regan. I was a Republican anomaly in 1980. In the 1980’s I was a poor, underemployed to unemployed, blue collar, single parent just trying to put food on the table during a major recession.

 The regions major employer, Aluminum plants, had closed, businesses were shutting down and jobs were scare. I was barely scraping by but I didn’t blame the government. I had the same educational opportunities as everyone else. When I was young, I didn’t take full advantage of them.  Otherwise, I could have been better positioned and insulated.

 I was brought up in a Democratic household. We were always a strong union family. Right after high school I successfully campaigned for a Democratic Senator. I will never forget the pleasure of meeting the esteemed Speaker John McCormick in the Congressional men’s room. My first ballot was cast for Jimmy Carter primarily because he was peanut farmer. I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, it left me.

 I’ve always had a strong moral compass. I never gave thought to the meanings of; conservative, liberal, republican, democrat, left, or right. I just knew right from wrong and where I saw the democrats heading, for me, was wrong.

 The Republican’s warmly welcomed me into their tent. I could not detect any class distinction; they accepted me just as I was. I recall a Republican Central Precinct Committeeman meeting, in the early 1980’s, when the grand dame of our party leaned over to me and said…”we don’t want any of those people to get involved”. I didn’t know who she meant at the time, but it would turn out I was one of those people.

 The mores with which I was reared in the 1950s and 1960’s remain unchanged. I am the same person that I was in 1960 or 1980’s. I am still a dues paying union member trying to make a living. My values define me. I have not changed, but the times and values have. Without my changing I have been ‘moved’ from center, to far right. In the 1980’s I would not have been labeled as “arch” conservative or “right winger” that would be the kindest way some would describe me today. I have remained steadfast while society has compromised taking republicanism and conservatism along with it.  

 It’s disappointing but not unexpected to see the conservative movement co-opted today moving toward left of center. We keep inviting the enemy into our tent by trying to be ‘all inclusive’ diluting our core values. It isn’t easy being conservative. It requires commitment and an unwavering faith in one’s belief. It’s a lot easier being liberal where everything is relative. Liberals far out number Conservatives, it’s amazing to me they have been able to accomplish anything.

 Conservatives have been deluded to think they’ve been relevant. They’ve been tolerated. While Conservatives hold the “high” ground Liberals hold the strategic ground. Liberals control the media, and the educational system. They’re in control of the popular propaganda machine of Hollywood.  There are more Liberals on the bench and in local political office than Conservatives. Liberals have always set the agenda. If they didn’t we wouldn’t see special laws and set asides for the morally challenged. We wouldn’t see consideration of amnesty for illegals, confiscation and redistribution of more private wealth, and stealing peoples’ homes to build shopping malls. There wouldn’t be the so called “hate crimes”, “gay” rights, “abortion” rights, and bans on prayer. Special rights for a few jeopardize rights for the majority and are dangerous for a society.

 Liberals are patient. They may lose a battle, but they never lose a war. Gradually, like the frog in hot water, without fanfare, and while nobody notices they creep the culture to the left taking Conservatism along with it. I often hear Conservative talk show hosts using the term “homophobe” in the pejorative. When I grew up homophobia (a made up contrived word) was synonymous with straight or normal. We’d consider homosexuality as anything but gay. I avoid using that term along with anything else deemed politically correct. Today’s young, conservative, talk radio hosts accepts homosexuality as another normal alternative behavior. They’re young having grown up under the auspices of the NEA, and a product of a culture dominated by the left.  They’ve been brainwashed throughout school and their young life to believe that way. That’s only one of several areas where we differ.

 There is a loss of cultural shame today. There’s no shame for out of wedlock births, cohabitation, abortion or drug use. Normally, I say that Republicans are the only adults in the room but until John McCain makes his shift to the left official I have to hold off.

 I’m only making observations not offering solutions. I feel compelled to point out what I have observed for years. Liberals have successfully orchestrated the Republican Party’s shift not only to where it was in 1980, but even further to the left. They continue to firmly hold the strategic ground while we continue to cede the ‘high’ ground. I am back to where I was in 1980 not a republican not a democrat just an orphaned conservative.

 Republicans want to be culturally relevant I don’t see that happening. We eventually lose every substantive moral debate and important position through erosion. We’re so tactful we lose the attack. From day one the left was systematically trying to dismantle the Bush administration and hamper its effectiveness. At the conclusion of the post 911 honeymoon, the left (through their editorial and media snipers) were enormously successful in removing targeted key Bush personnel. Unless conservatives can position themselves better in the future, in main street media, entertainment, judiciary, the culture will continue its slippery decline.
I was wondering - has anyone else noticed?
