The Republicans Are Worth Reincarnating

airplaneYes, you read that correctly.  Not rebuilding, but reincarnating.

The reason I say reincarnating is because the Republicans are not worth rebuilding.  The Republicans as they were under Bush were a complete waste, and ultimately led to an Obama administration.  All he’s going to manage for us is a rude awakening for many, and a boatload of pain for everyone who already knew better than to support him.

It’s not the first time they went mushy and self-destructed either.  It seems to be a never-ending sequence with them.  When the Republicans are in power, they try in vain to appease liberals in an attempt to silence them, which causes them to betray their voters and capitulate.  Their voters then get mad and desert them, which costs them power.  Once the Republicans have lost, the Democrats take a few huge steps in the direction of socialism.  The country gets mad and re-elects Republicans, and it all starts all over again.  Lather, rinse, and repeat.

The end result of this cycle is creeping socialism.  Here lately, it’s been galloping socialism.  Worse still, even if the Republicans get back into power, there’s no assurance whatsover that they won’t just go mushy again if they remain the same.  That’s where the reincarnation part of this comes into play.

For the Republicans to be worth supporting, they have to become a genuine conservative opposition party.  Once it’s that way, we take steps to keep it that way.  They’re already showing signs of walking in that direction again, though I’m certain it’s because they’ve realized us conservatives do have someplace to go:  to ourselves.

So now it’s time to finish the job.  We’ve already removed large piles of dead wood from their ranks in 2006 and 2008.  We have a chance to maverick the RINO poster child out of his career in 2010.  And with the Tea Party movement in full swing, we have the protesting might to keep the Republicans in line once they do regain power.

So while I haven’t ruled out replacing them with a new second party should all else fail, I’ll stick to my original conclusion.  The Republicans are worth reincarnating, if only because it’s logistically less difficult to attempt this first rather than starting from scratch.  Just don’t rule out replacing them yet.

They Can’t Win for Losing Here Lately

fishACORN’s losing streak continues.

The House voted to cut ACORN’s funding, and it was definitive to say the least.  345-75 in favor of ridding ACORN of it’s federal largesse.  It may not be enough to ruin them entirely, but losing a few billion dollars or so can’t possibly be making them happy.  This after the Senate vote, and now Obama attempting to throw them under the bus.

It’s beautiful to watch, and it all started with two highly motivated conservative citizen journalists.  They came up with a plan to reveal ACORN for what it really is and shoved it right down their throats.  One more step in the right direction.

We should do this more often.

Drop the Race Card

crystalballNo, I don’t mean use it.  I mean drop it.  As in off the face of the Earth, because it has no worth except to inflame racial tensions.  It’s certainly worthless as a means to quell racial injustice, which is the pretense under which it is most often played.

I’ve heard it used so many times to attack Obama’s critics I shouldn’t even report it as news.  But this time, it was used by the most complete loser to occupy the White House in my lifetime, Jimmy Carter.  The fact he was a former President is the only reason he’s interesting enough to be annoying and mention here.

The good news is that the impact of the race card is eroded.  Have you noticed that lately, no one jumps as much as they once did with its use?  As it continues to be abused by this administration and its supporters, it will reach the point of diminishing returns, and finally be ignored.

When that day comes, it will be time for some happy irony.  The people most dependent on the race card for their political well being will have been most instrumental in its destruction.  At least Obama will be good for something, because he’s going to bungle the rest.

The loss of the race card is the first step on the path of real racial harmony.  No artificial agitation of racial tensions, no self-serving demagogues using it to build incomes, and no politicians hiding their misdeeds behind it.  That means the real possibility that MLK’s dream may finally come true:  no one is judged by the color of their skin, but solely by the content of their character.

I’m looking forward to it.

Four Minutes of Laughter for Charles Gibson

Charles Gibson.  NBC News Reporter.  Talk show guest.  Clueless dolt about the ACORN sting.

At least, that’s what he said.  Plus, he laughed about it too.  He didn’t know about the sting, the videos, or the Senate vote to cut funding.  And did I mention the laugh?

So this one’s for you, Charles.  Four minutes of laughter, courtesy of Skype Laughter Chain.
