Forgive My Patriotism on Monday, February 18, 2008 6:00:00 AM
There seems to be a tremendous effort to marginalize and chastise the Principled Voters. And I would like to point out that the Republican strategizers and the Compromise Voters knew all along that they were going to spit in our faces.
As I said in my blog "Taking My Ball And Going Home" in November 2006, "Yes already! Despite our public school educations, we understand the math. “No vote Republican, Hillary get elected.”" This was not done without reason. By then, the win-at-any-cost crowd had already been beating this drum for a long time.
All of the attention we're getting from them these days, they consider merely the necessary policing of ONE of the Republican party's voting blocks. Of course they believe that because we have fallen in line in the past that we'll do so again when their battle begins against the evil Democrats. I suppose all of the blogs, articles, monologues and dialogues scolding us for our folly and pipe dreams are not hoped will inspire or incite those of us who are Principled Voters, to hang our principles again and take another giant leap leftward?
I've got news for you, we are the Republican party and you hijacked it! Proof? Who thinks more like it's founders? Not the Compromise Voters or their suicidal Big Tent policies. Nope, it's us. You know, those with the gumption to do what's right no matter the consequences.
The Compromise Voters picked McCain in all their political calculations, factoring in that the Principled Voters can be cajoled into holding their noses AGAIN. If he doesn't win after I don't vote for him, I hope they don't whine that the country is ruined because people with principles didn't follow their dumbed down math.
Let me put forth some new (old) slogans for the Republican Party:
"When the government fears the people,there is liberty; when the people fear the government, there is tyranny"
"Better Dead than Red"
"I'd Rather Die On My Feet Than Live On My Knees"
"Stick to Your Bibles, Stick to Your Guns"
"The Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance"
"Slavery Comes Easy, Freedom Comes Hard"
"Live Free or Die"
"I Pray For The Wisdom to Know Right, The Will to Choose It, And The Strength To Make It Endure."
If you rolled your eyes when you read these, I've got news for you that you probably won't like. Hopefully it will make sick to your stomach. You are a liberal whether you have an "R" after your name or not.
See you in the soup lines.
