Following is an answer to a comment on another blog regarding the "Frustrations of Conservatives." I wrote it one late evening and thought I'd put it on my blog. I feel it mirrors not just my own frustration but those of the base that find something really wrong with the so called "disagreement" of those that are supposed to be on our president's side.
Frustration is trying to maneuver around the MSM, only to have your own side go after you.
Frustration is giving this nation the best economy in near 50 years--and getting zip credit from one side and a "but monkey" from the other.
Frustration is being lauded for Harriet Mier's advice on judicary picks--then being told she weren't qualified to sit on the SCOTUS.
Frustration is appointing a Black Female Secretary of State that could speak 7 languages and was able to converse with world leaders without the aid of a translator, broker an alliance with China to reign in North Korea, keep Russia, France, Germany and the UK from giving aid to Palestine, forcing them to the peace talks with Israel--and have her criticized for wearing the same black shoes twice or not being a mother.
Frustration is being hated because you didn't solve the illegal immigration problem, spent huge sums of money on a war, didn't stopped pork spending, never shrank the size of government by those who long for another Reagan --a man who didn't solve the illegal immigration problem, spent huge sums of money on a war, never shranked the size of government...
Frustration is being married and staying faithful to the same woman for decades, yet coming up short by those claiming to believe in principles--against cheating Rudy and Newt.
Frustration is helping to end the female apartheid in Afghanistan and Iraq--and having those who claim to support women's right hate you.
Frustration is being the only leader in the world the terrorists fear--and having the MSM and their wannabe RINO press count the days when you leave office.
Frustration is seeing your team dissected and persecuted for breathing while an ex National Security advisor put government documents down his pants and would be presidential hopeful try to scare college students into working harder with threats of becoming a "stupid" losers that joins the military and end up in Iraq.
Frustration is serving in the National Guard like millions who are right now fighting and dying in Iraq...and being told that your service is less "honorable" than a man who got a purple heart for a splinter and who threw his (or somebody's) medals away in a very public manner.
And lastly...
Frustration is knowing that no matter what you do, it will never be enough or it will always be too much...that like an artist, you have to die before your work becomes valuable.
