I’ve suspected it for a long time. The absolutist hiding behind the label “conservative” are anything but and has been trying to destroy your party for at least 2 years.
Today, an article on Town Hall flat out stated: “So it is good that conservatives are gathering and talking. What they do will determine the future of the GOP. The movement can…and possibly should…survive without the Republican Party. But the GOP is a dead duck without conservatism.”
It was music to many readers’ ears.
Awhile back I wrote that after 9/11 I had found that I had so much in common with Republicans that I thought I may in fact be one. But the absolutist with their dictatorial qualifying definition of “conservatism” quickly dissolved that notion.
Now I will admit that before that fateful day in September, I would have walked away from all this political drama.
But 9/11 did happen. And at the time I truly believed that my life as I knew it was forever lost.
President Bush and his party of GOP did the impossible. In less than a year, they gave me back my world.
The Democrats are about to return it to terrorism.
And so I am here asking the Republicans to take a good look at those that wish to destroy you.
Doesn’t their lack of support and loyalty bother you—doesn’t it claw at that part of you that knows the value of family and friends and working together for no other reason but to help and create something worthwhile?
Doesn’t their racist (yes, I said racist) vitriolic hatred of Mexicans make you uncomfortable? We are a nation of immigrants; isn’t there a part of you that bristles at the idea of people being called “wet backs”, “uneducated”, “criminal” the way your ancestors were once called a whole bunch of ignorant and racist names because they were from Ireland or Italy or non-White?
Doesn’t their hypocrisy and sanctimonious demand for a perfect politician and a perfect party reek?
Shouldn’t Bush be able to stand on his principles—even if they don’t agree with him?
How many of you agree with everything they believe…doesn’t it bother you that you are NOT allowed to disagree at all?
Finally, how many times have you wanted to “clarify” what some absolutist has said in the name of conservatism and Reagan so that Independents and Liberals won’t think that all Republicans think that way?
I believe…that most honest to themselves Republicans will admit to almost all of the above.
America has less than 2 years before the Dems put in a full fledge, bring back the glory days of cut and run Liberal into the White House. The only thing that can stop them is the only other viable political party. YOUR PARTY.
Now is the time to take back the GOP before the 3rd party wannabes destroy it.
They are like the abusive spouse…if they cannot have the power of a main stream party…you can’t…and they will rather see it dead than surviving without them.
