A very timely warning and not one I’ve heard elsewhere.

A very timely warning and not one I’ve heard elsewhere.

One could almost begin to view the Far Left as a collection of Micro Groups within Micro Groups that at some point begin to eat there own when one in any one group does not ‘perfectly’ fit a Micro Group.

Let’s hope it starts a Chain reaction that self destructs the Democrat Party.We could call it ‘Democrat Fission’

But they just let it go.

The lot falls upon us conservatives to save them from themselves (and ourselves too) as we take the necessary actions and sacrifices to make the world safe for democracy and to keep them in comfort.

And our reward throughout history is to be reviled by those we deliver from their own folly.

But that’s the cost of being a adult.

Reminds me of the poem attributed to Martin Niemöller:

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

I have a sister born a year after I was. Since infancy, she was severely retarded, often having seizures.

She died in 2003 at the age of eighteen.

Her existence constituted a huge burden for my family, because we had to constantly buy her medicine to alleviate her seizures, and because she had to be constantly cared for.

But when she passed on, there was no sense of relief. Her death has not made life any easier for any of us. In truth, despite all of the things we had to do for her, we actually relied on her much more than she relied on us. She was a piece of heaven that this ungrateful world never deserved.

So when I see Democrats and “pro-choice” activists railing against someone for not aborting a child for having a similar condition, I cannot help but be angry and sad. Such people truly have no idea what they are talking about.

Let’s say you’re a member of a party on the verge of oblivion.

A party that has been commandeered by extreme right-wing religious elements.

A party that that has run the economy into the ground.

And the environment.

And America’s reputation.

And has made the world a less safe place.

Yes, they ARE coming for you.

“They” are American voters.

And they’re pissed.

Why, I believe we can. Thanks for nailing it hard, with the hammer down. Well spoken, Sir. Well spoken indeed.

In that same vein, I remember a story from a university a little over a decade ago.

A student wrote an article in the campus paper criticizing a university policy. The article was passionate but not out of line.

Days later, groups of angry students still protested claiming all sorts of injustices. Maybe there was some merit to these charges, but who knows how the protesters even learned what was in the article

You see, a university group saw the article and immediately went around to every campus paper stand and took all copies of the paper and destroyed them. They then claimed responsiblity. The student who wrote the article faced expulsion but thankfully was not kicked out. The administration lessened the punishment but didn’t stick up for the student. Nothing happened to those that stole the papers even though the identities were well established.

The point is those that scream their views the loudest and are first to use their first amendment rights are often the first to try to take those same rights away from others.

Not that it matters, but the student who wrote the article and faced expulsion was a member of the campus republican coalition. His article railed against a perceived liberal bias in a certain policy at the school. He was angry but did not cross any lines and was within his right to speak freely in the paper. Certainly those protesting had some nasty things to say.

I say that, but I know there have been similar cases where it’s been the other way around and a conservative was trying to silence a liberal voice.

Any attack on free speech is against everything this country stands for. I only draw the line if someone is using free speech to specifically try to incite open rebellion or threaten the life of another, which is where law enforcement also draws the line.

“Let’s say you’re a member of a party on the verge of oblivion.”

Remember Watergate? 4 years after the ‘76 loss, the Repubs were back to win three straight massive landslides.

That’s one reason I’m voting for Top Gun. Bush or no Bush, Repubs aren’t going away. I hope McCain can ‘reconstruct’ his party into a legitimate conservative, pro-business party that I can just disagree with all the time, rather than the threat to America it has turned into under Bush.

I think the Democrats are in danger of oblivion if they lose this election. They’ll be 1-8 since ‘68. (Since the Dems disowned the centrist Clintons, they can’t count the 2 Clinton victories.) Even with a win, they’ll still be 2-7; I wouldn’t crow about that.

Well done, my friend.

I’ve read this several times and was just now successful at loggin in. :>(
I’ve recommended it and would rec it twice if I could.

The angry left bought the Democrat party and the media, they paid for it, they are scorching the earth like never before, and your silence is your support.

I couldn’t have said it any better myself.

I love the picture you painted of the groups of acceptable people growing ever smaller. The liberals are so busy trying to protect everyone from everyone else, they make everyone into “an offender for a word”. No one is safe.

I just read this for the second time. Maybe this comment will survive the atmospheric re-entry.

I was like Sarah Palin’s daughter once. Young, pregnant. There were major differences, though.

My boyfriend left when I told him I was pregnant. He told me he didn’t know what I was going to do, but he was going home to his wife and son…lying SOB. He was 19 and in the Air Force at a nearby Air Force Base. I was 14. I had never heard of Statutory Rape.

I had the child. A boy. My parents kicked me out of the house, although my mom helped when she could, on the sly.

My parents kicked me out because my morals were not up to their standards. They were Conservative Republicans.

I went to my pastor. He said I was immoral and not good enough to darken the doorway of his Evangelical Church. He and the congregation were Conservative and Evangelical Republicans.

I dropped out of school and waited tables as long as I could. When I was due, I was fired. My boss couldn’t have an unwed mother working for him. I was immoral. He was a Conservative Republican. His wife was a Evangelical Republican. And this, after he got another waitress pregnant and forced her to have an abortion.

And then it happened. All was forgiven! At the birth of my son, my parents told me to come home, all is forgiven. I can have my old bedroom back and they even built on a small bathroom and kitchenette. I was still immoral but my son was not. He was an innocent. And, he was their first grandchild.

Three years later, I start dating again. I am very skittish at first. Then I find a man. I am 18. He is 23. Close enough in age in my parents eyes. My parents are very happy.

My pastor is happy. I know my parents had to pay my way back into our church. I still don’t know how much they paid the pastor. He is Republican.

Then, I introduce my new boyfriend to my parents. They are not amused. I am back to being immoral.

They kick me out of the house again. This time, permanently. But, not before informing me they will sue for custody of my son. They win, in court. The judge is a Conservative Republican. I am immoral. I have not seen or spoken with my son for 23 years. My parents told him I had died in a car accident.

You see, my new boyfriend is African-American/Vietnamese. His father was an American soldier in Vietnam. His mother was Vietnamese. His upbringing in Vietnam was horrible. He grew up on the streets, stealing food and being a pickpocket. His mother took in laundry and cleaned other people’s huts.

My boyfriend saved enough money to bring his mother and himself to the US. He was going to try to find his father. He did…too late. His father died in a diving accident several years earlier.

My boyfriend saved enough money to bring his mother and himself to the US. He was going to try to find his father. He did…too late. His father was a cop who died several years earlier trying to stop a rape.

My boyfriend, his mother and I started going to an Episcopal Church in our town. We were accepted with open arms. Even after I had his child. We married four years later. Some of the people in this church were Republicans. Others were Democrats. They are all Christians. They are there to worship God…not the church, not money, not a political party.

I was amazed that Republicans and Democrats could worship together.

If anyone here has had a similar experience or an experience in which you were not good enough for the Republicans, I urge you to vote Democrat. No one will know and no one will ever be able to find out how you voted.

We may not be good enough for them, but they will never be good enough for anyone…especially themselves.

So, I am a fallen Republican. I will be voting for Obama in November.

Is there any reason why I shouldn’t, Jack?

Us Weekly owned by a scumbag named Jann Wenner who has been a disgrace to society and culture for years through a magazine called Rolling Stone. It’s another wolf in sheep’s clothing. It supposed be about one thing, but it has another agenda… one of mediocrity, personal vendetta and total corruption. Beware of these magazines and any others controlled by this jack ass (Men’s Journal is another). They are toxic waste for the mind.

On a personal aside, as a life long fan of rock music, I have ALWAYS abhorred Rolling Stone. It has sucked for a very, very long time.

A great reminder of the saying those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it..as I have told all that I can there will be a suprise come election day for the libs when all their work comes for naught!

This is a straw man argument that has no basis in reality. I’ve never heard of any woman being criticized, overtly or covertly, for carrying a fetus to term, under any situation. If it happens, it’s as rare as a Republican feminist. Joe Biden is a Catholic but calls himself “pro-choice”, which means the personal choice to carry a fetus to term, or not, within the privacy of one’s family and doctor, and without government intrusion. Biden opposes abortion personally in most cases but believes that is an individual choice that should not be mandated on others by government. Libertarians understand this very well; I don’t see why Republicans don’t.
