Pretenders to The “Thrown”

The GOP's recently professed appreciation for fiscal responsibility, while welcomed, is insulting to the very conservatives that have felt kicked to the curb, thrown under the bus, and generally abandoned over the last 20 years, and especially during the last presidential election. The insult of disdain heaped onto the core of intelligent members of what once was the last bastion of political, social, and fiscal conservativism in order to embrace and pander to "moderate" demographics begs one wonder which party was steering that bus.

Republican Senators and Congressional Representatives that are now coming out of the proverbial Washington woodwork, complaining loudly against government spending of taxpayer money and for budget restraint, are like someone finding religion on their deathbed. While admitting their past sins aloud might ease their consciences, it will not buy them what they want. They're still going to die. And until they do, even if forgiven… will never be trusted again.

The GOP has effectively neutered itself by separating itself from what the democrat party, MSM, and Obama appointed DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano has defined as its "radical right-wing" nuts.

The Republican Party has compounded its recent swan dive into the abyss by killing its own brand; propelling a pendulous shift toward a nearly fascist power grab and to the liberal left-wing fringe of the democrats, who are systematically infiltrating anarchists and statists into every apolitical agency in government that previously had, at minimum, made an effort to represent a semblance of protecting America.

Who knows how much irreparable damage will have been done to political parties, the Republic, and the American free market by the time another election can bring yet more change?

Anyone who has read the "The Federalist Papers", or The 5000 Year Leap, quickly and completely understands that both parties of U.S. Government have systematically idled the bus away from The Constitution of The United States of America throughout its history, but seemed to have floored the accelerator in the last few years.

One wonders if America, having been bitch-slapped awake after her long sleepy dream of freedom, will stand together in Union to demand the re-ratification of The Constitution of The United States and commitment of each member of the body politic and every legal citizen.

Every online social networking site, blog, chat room, online newspaper feedback section, coffee shop, and bulletin board is filled with comments by people that are fed up and looking for ways to communicate their frustration and anger. The "silent majority" is rising out of isolation again. They want another hero like Ronald Reagan.

The "Tax Day Tea Parties" that sprang up across America on April 15, whether grassroots, Astroturf, or media-driven were a wake-up call. No matter how they happened, the reality that they happened is resonating throughout the nation. It must not be allowed to die on the vine.

It is from within movements like this one that heroes and heroines emerge. That said; keep a weathered eye on the political horizon. Wannabes will dance gleefully to the fore all sparkly and anti-rightnow, professing to be the answer to whatever everybody is mad about. Just laugh at them and keep looking… but do keep looking. Do not again let the "good enough" be the enemy of great!
