Read an article today on FoxNews.com titled "GOP Battle Plan: Draw 'Line In the Sand' On Dem Spending". When I clicked the link to check it out the page title was "GOP Aims to Erode White House Agenda".
How typical.The war cry for the GOP hopes of defeating the Democrat majority and possibly taking it themselves is, their same old tune, "We are against the Democrats!" Wow, that is really something I can be a part of...NOT!
In case you think the Democrats have the high ground, their war cry is no better, "Imagine the worst problems we have faced....that is what you get if you elect a Republican! It will turn back the clock!"
This is why the Libertarians and Tea Party candidates are so viable, they stand for specific principals. Who in their right mind can support the Republican or Democrat parties? They stand for nothing other than their own political success.
There is definitely a line being drawn in the sand alright, just not where the GOP thinks. You know, I can think of some times when lines were drawn in the sand, so to speak.
The first would have to be when God kicked us out of the garden of Eden. Adam and Eve didn't follow the simplest of principles, and is it me, or do they sound just like our politicians?
"Don't blame me....the woman gave it to me."
"I couldn't help it, the serpent beguiled me."
Then God kicked them out and drew a line they could not cross.
Then there was the time when Moses went up the mountain to seek God...and the Israelites decided to make a golden calf and worship that...kinda like the liberal Democrats want to worship the idol of Socialism...must be a golden Jackass. When Moses came down and saw what idiots they were he said, ""Whoever is for the LORD, come to me." Then they strapped on a sword and killed the others.
I do have an example that is not from the Bible (but is thought to be a myth). Supposedly, by Col. William Barrett Travis in 1836 at a little place in Texas called the Alamo. This story is full of analogies I don't have time to explore, but the ending is something the GOP might want to...uh....remember.
Here is a principle for voters to remember, "You reap what you sow.", don't rally behind the idiots saying "We are for being against them!"

HOW TRUE how true....good post!
ReplyDeleteReally need a strong third party.
ReplyDeleteA strong third party would be fine, but without citizens that desire to be responsible for themselves, it won't help much. In the end the problem is us, the existing parties act as they do because we let them, and won't stop until we make them.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Brad! But a Strong and I do mean Strong third party is truely the only thing that they would fear. Outside of that it only makes sense that two that don't agree will never agree without a third person(party)....the battle has been going on for too long....protest and the power of the vote doesn't work if you don't change the players.
