  • "If you like sausages and laws, you should never watch either one of them being made." -- Otto von Bismarck

  • "The best way to prove a stick is crooked is to lay a straight one beside it" -- FW Boreham
  • "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, 'There you are' and those who say, 'Here I am'" -- Abigail Van Buren
  • "It was not political rhetoric, mass rallies or poses of moral indignation that gave the people a better life. It was capitalism." -- Thomas Sowell

Why the Left isn't Right!


I'm sorry if you fall into the category of someone who agrees with democrats and liberals because of their empty rhetoric about how much they care about the poor and downtrodden.  Your heart is probably in the right place, but your logic most likely isn't.  If you are going to identify yourself with any political party at all, why would you want to identify yourself with a group of loose lipped, terrorist appeasing, schemers that are devoid of understanding history and economics and are incapable of honoring the sanctity of life?  Does that mean republicans are better?  No, not always.  Republicans have had their share of self-interested hypocrites at times.  So does this mean true Conservatives are a better choice?  Yes.  It really does.  Are democrats and liberals the same thing?  No, not always.  But why would you want to identify with a party to which the term "liberal" so easily attaches?  Why would you want to simply be a fence-sitting liberal that knows nothing but emotion and only votes present when choices are hard?

The leftist policies that seem to be invented almost daily typically contain so many unintended consequences that they become increasingly idiotic, as well as despotic, with time.  Look at minimum wage, water and building restrictions in California, global climate change, civilian trials for terrorists, increased spending, government run health care, welfare, tax hikes, etc.  They all come with lofty guarantees and disclaimers of low side-effects.  But as soon as you swallow the blue pill, the nausea begins.  You're now more likely to have probes put in places you don't like.  Though they'll market to you how much help they've given society, the reality of what they've done to society is something quite different.  They even market ambiguous things like "hope" as if that is actually going to provide hope.  That's like jumping off a building without a net and yelling "fly". 

Conservatives need to drop the gentlemanly attitude and start kicking butts and drudging up the truth on opponents because we know they aren't going to play fair.  Stop being afraid to fight people like Ted Kennedy (may the Lord forgive his soul) who should have gone to jail but instead was considered a liberal hero.  Some democrats even want to pass this disaster of a health care bill in his honor.  Nevermind the American people they represent.  It's Ted's honor they're worried about.  That should tell you all you need to know about liberals.  Stop being afraid to tell people that Barrack Obama has very sketchy friends, and his own preacher was a certifiable lunatic.  Stop walking on eggshells because he's black.  Big deal.  That's no excuse for being liberal.  No thinking person is against Obama because he's black.  That would just be silly and ignorant.  I am, however, strongly opposed to having a liberal socialist in charge because that person will continue to make well-spoken but stupid and selfish choices for America.  What kind of person thinks it's fair to give the planner of the 9-11 attack the same kind of trial an American citizen has access to but doesn't think it's fair for his daughter to be "punished with a baby" (his own words) if she were to get pregnant on accident.  In other words, only unwanted babies deserve the death penalty without a fair trial?

So please vote more carefully next go-around and say what needs to be said if you are running for office.  If you have to vote based on race, pick someone like Thomas Sowell instead of voting like the presidency is nothing more than a high school popularity contest.  As for reaching across party lines, John McCain disappointed me greatly in the general election.  Instead of repeating ad nauseam how he could reach across the isle, he should have told those snakes that if they reached across the isle, they'd pull back a nub.  It's time to stop making deals with the devils.
