There’s something I don’t understand and that is this nonsense about being “to conservative to win.”
First of all, it matters little if the presidential candidate is pro-life with no exceptions, pro-traditional marriage no exceptions, believes in smaller government, lower taxers, state’s rights, limited government intrusion, strong heterosexual military, and is opposed to race/gender based affirmative action. Think about it – what does that matter?
The reason it doesn’t matter is because, true conservatives have respect for the Constitution, unlike liberal socialists like Obama. It is liberal progressives, as Obama has proven, that have no respect for the will of the people, no sense of or appreciation for our resplendent history and the true accomplishment of America and her people.
In truth, the more truly conservative a candidate, the safer the citizenry – not because the candidate will not work to change certain things, but because they will respect the law and the courts. Unlike those like Obama, who will lie, obfuscate, corrupt, and whatever else they have to do to accomplish their agenda despite the will of the people. Here think of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, as a glowing example of that to which I speak.
The nation need not fear conservatives, the nation needs to fear those who have no regard for America and the Constitution. Because it was disregard for both that led us into slavery, Jim Crow, the erosion of the public school system, the unwarranted expansion and intrusion of government, the corruption of our judicial system, and the abrogation of State’s rights.
True conservatism is not a threat to the people, but liberal progressives and self-interested RINOs are.
Not to deviate from the topic but the constitution is the constitution and covers a lot of ground. When FDR, a Republican, signed Social Security into law, it was a viable instrument and perfectly capable of doing all that it was designed to do. However, various Democratic administrations….Johnson, Carter and Clinton/Gore have totally eviscerated the program. In order to advance their Democratic agendas and pander to their Democratic advisors, they have ruined the Social Security program altogether. It should never be forgotten that it was the Republicans who created Social Security to take care of those who work all their lives and retire and need an income to survive. AND, it was the various Democratic administrations who destroyed the Social Security program by signing into law, laws that allowed them to eviscerate it. It is not the Republicans who are trying to take SS away from America. The Democrats have already done that.
tthan43: first of all they’re not democratic they’re democrats…it should always be remembered that social security should never have come into existence…people should be responsible for their own well being…people work their entire lives…buy homes, raise families, take care of themselves and then at some predetermined date in the future they become wards of the government…they’re how much they can earn, when they must file for whatever, who they can have etc…give me a break…and people not only bought into it…they’re fighting to keep it…at the very least everyone should have had the option to partake or not partake…regardless of profession…
Mychal – thank you for always saying exactly what I’m thinking!! In all my 70+ years I’ve never seen elected officials openly operate against this country as the liberals of today do. I know our country has been through bad times before but in today’s world with radical terrorists and nuclear bombs we are in even more danger than ever before. Keep being our voice and telling it like it is!!
Jackie…it’s the socialist way…
Excellent.
Dave: thk you my friend…
