The above was written in the style of someone speaking from a liberal point of view. I'm certain the author is actually one of our people.
Sometimes, I get reminders of why I shouldn't sit on things that come from my pen. I actually composed the following at work several weeks ago. The above author does a much better job of reinforcing his point than I do mine. Due credit to the professional; I'm just an ex-Math teacher.
From 'several weeks ago':
Kudos to John Ziegler for calling the counterfeit Contessa Brewer the liberally-biased pseudo-journalist that she is. Ziegler grasps an idea which I have been preaching for several years: civil debate over politics is dead. We are now engaged in a street-fightin', knock-down, drag-out gang war and we are losing. We are losing because our side is clinging to some outdated notion of 'not wanting to stoop to their level' and the delusion that if we just lighten up, they will like us. We are fighting by Queensberry rules and judiciously avoiding making any 'low blows', while the left is beating us with sticks, throwing mud (and sometimes food) in our eyes, and knee-capping us at every opportunity. Meanwhile, it is left to turncoats like 'Colon' Powell (because he's full of it) to knife us in the back after the ONLY party that was ever going to help him out promoted him to his current place of prominence without first vetting him to see where he actually stood on anything (out of fear of us being called racists, perhaps).
Regarding the GOP, Conservatives have two options. Option One is to take over the party and kick the Rockefeller blue-bloods OUT. We also need to bolster our movement with some Conservative judicial activism. We need to appoint people who will return us to Constitutional government by any means necessary. Anyone in our party who doesn't see it our way can get lost. Option Two would be to form a bona fide Conservative party with 'Life, Liberty, and Property' as our platform. We have AM radio. We own talk radio in general. We're on equal terms on the Internet. We could well do it. Let us not be deceptive with our party's name. We are Conservatives. We must dismantle the over-bloated parts of our Federal bureaucracy. This means that the Departments of Education and Energy must be the first ones to go. Bye-bye IRS. We must have the FairTax and we must END welfare in this country as we know it.
(That is almost entirely word-for-word what I wrote down at work on scratch paper. I regret not having dated the thing.)
Now, as for Sarah: God-speed to you and yours. You are in my prayers. To any libs who might read this: November, 1962. After losing the California governor's race, former Vice-President Nixon famously said, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore." Five years later, the Great Society Guy "(did) not seek and (would) not accept the nomination of (his) party to be (our) President." Remember that this was during his first term having been elected. Your guy will crack. Biden was right: the White House is no place to be conducting "on the job training."
