Y'all remember the Republican Party. The GOP. The party that
abandoned its constitutionalist principles and went on a spending spree so
unprecedented even the Democrats could scorn and mock it. The one most of which
colluded with the Democrats to pass that devastating near-trillion dollar bank
bailout last fall.
The one that nominated its most liberal Senator, its
pre-eminent virtual Democrat, to head its ticket and de-energize its base. The
one that helped ram through the near-trillion dollar banking bailout that turned
things around in its rivals' favor and handed the recent election to what we
thought was a hard core Marxist who turned out to be more like a hard core
Stalinist.
The party that - even when it held majorities in the White
House and both houses of Congress - never even thought to try and repeal the
Clintonista Motor Voter Act that made it impossible to even try to challenge
what may be tens of millions of illegal (and surely Democratic) votes per
election cycle, mostly by folks who had and have no right to be in the country
in the first place. The one that bore virtually no resemblance to the Reaganite
entity that had lifted it to its greatest successes just about ever a couple or
so decades ago.
Well, glory be! It re-emerged in recent weeks and
re-discovered its manhood! Every single Republican member of the House of
Representatives demonstrated the fortitude to vote against the hideous piece of
legislation I call the commulus package.
Oh, if I wanted to wax skeptical I could point out that those
were meaningless votes, as the obamanation flew through that august body without
a hitch. I could speculate that the GOP naysaying was nothing more than a
cynical effort to keep true conservatives from abandoning ship and forming a
real conservative party to which real conservatives could finally flock - the
one we at America's Independent Party are desperately seeking to
build...
But wait a minute! If the party could duplicate that
unanimity in the Senate, the filibuster mechanism could stave off cloture and
keep America on the happy side of the Iron Curtain for at least the time being.
Our government's share of GDP didn't have to jump from 18% to 40% overnight and
we would have some slim chance of retaining an ounce or so of our economic
competitiveness.
If the Marxist Democrats couldn't persuade two RINOs to jump
ship (three if Teddy Kennedy couldn't make it out of his hospital bed), we could
de-rail this brazen attempt to super-fund ACORN, Planned Parenthood, the
National Endowment for the Arts, the new dictatorial socialized medicine
ministry, the re-instituted full fledged no-strings federal welfare system, and
the thousand and one other ultra-leftist entities given big bucks via this
spending plan nearly equal to the total monies expended in our nation's first
173 years and for which we have no way of paying other than to raise taxes
precipitously on our productive class, print worthless money to create
unprecedented mega-inflation and turn our nation into a vassal state of the
creditor ChiComs...
We could stop all this if we could keep less than three
Republicans (out of 41) from stabbing America in the back and marching shoulder
to shoulder with the lock-stepping, goose-stepping Democrat fascists hell bent
on raising government spending from 18% to 40% of GDP. That should have been a
cinch. After all, of 178 Republicans in the House, not a single one had deigned
to give the figurative finger to 233 years of patriots' sacrifices and flush
their country's liberties and prosperity down the proverbial toilet. Surely,
with our children's futures in the balance, we could count on a mere 41 Senators
to follow suit, with no more than, say, one defection, or two...
But, alas, the enemy got exactly its necessary minimum of
three. Wow! Now, how convenient! America is now effectively a member in good
standing of the evil empire and still the Republicans can say they represent our
interests! After all, out of 219 of them only 3 betrayed us. (Shame on those
3!)
Why even McCain, Lindsey Graham and George Voinovich - three
characters who've stabbed us in the back and stood with the conspirators
consistently in the past - can say they came through for us this
time!
What a crock! Truly, these Republican sleezeballs, these
lapdogs for the world federalist socialist Democrats have committed the perfect
crime. (What fools they must consider the majority of us, their
constituency!)
Perhaps what says it best is my use of exclamation points in
the above. I've always eschewed them, don't remember ever using them before.
I've long believed that if one knows how to express oneself, one's words should
speak for themselves. True, I've used them mostly in a sarcastic, even sardonic
context here, but that I used them at all speaks volumes about my outrage at
this calculated sellout.
I believe that the goal is one world totalitarian government
in very short order. That's why the urgency in the "The Chosen One's" voice.
Thus, if he'd needed four, five, six, seven, or however many Republican votes,
I'll bet that's (miraculously) exactly how many he'd have gotten, reading the
bill be damned, of course. And this specious conservative party would have
still claimed to stand for America.
Wake up, Americans. Start lining up behind your state's
efforts to assert its sovereignty, say no to socialism, and refuse to comply
with the more onerous, more unconstitutional provisions of this treasonous,
anti-free-enterprise, economic back breaking act....And not
hand over the hard earned tax dollars of its citizens in support of it (escrow
accounts would show good faith). Let's affirm the 10th Amendment, become
refuseniks, draw the line before this Bolshevik government's economic, energy,
and other policies weaken us to the point where - if we're even alive - we no
longer have the strength to resist.
And join AIP and "just say 'no' to socialism." It's now or
never. I've never been more serious.
