Topic: Cheney speaks:

[charlesoakwood]

Liz, that is... takes on the massage riddled, peach butt skinned Republican establishment's adopting liberal policies of wrongheaded Democrats Republicans instead of fighting back.

These days Washington careens from crisis to crisis, most of them manufactured. The Obama White House and its allies are engaged in the kind of sky-is-falling melodrama normally reserved for the lives of teenage girls. (As the mother of teenage girls, I speak with authority on this, though the comparison does a disservice to teenagers.)

If we don’t defend our freedoms now against the onslaught of President Obama’s policies, we won’t have to wait until our sunset years for American freedom to be a distant memory.

Coughs in the wind, nobody in leadership and most party hacks pay only lip service to freedom, scumbags have no idea what the word means or what is required to promote and defend it.

We didn't defend against Bush/Cheney's onslaught on our freedoms

That's because people bought the party line that our clowns are not their clowns...

Turns out there is little difference in terms of doing things that end up biting our asses!

You're right about that, to no small personal shame on my part. My eyebrows raised over NCLB, the Patriot Act, the illegal alien push, and other GOP transgressions during the Bush years. But because it was supposedly a good decent socially conservative Christian man leading the GOP majority, I found ways to justify.

I pay attention more than the average person, yet I creatively wiggled through a maze of contradictions in principle in order to realize an affirmation of my "side", as well as to stomp on the loathsome Left. But imagine all those millions of voters who DON'T pay attention. It is easy in hindsight to see how the cynical GOP used socially conservative voters to enact progressive domestic policy that has led us straight to the totalitarian coup we are witnessing today.

Coupled with the John Roberts betrayal on ObamaCare, the progressive Bush administration can be viewed as a precursor to the Obama administration in more than just chronology. Whether Obama kicking open the doors that Bush left cracked was an intended result of the Bush progressive agenda is anybody's guess.

My mind goes there more and more, especially since Roberts betrayal. It is as if Roberts installation on the court was for the very purpose he fulfilled. The final nail.

I was much more naïve then and less attuned to Liberty and Freedom

In my opinion, they're nothing more than controlled opposition. Electoral politics in this country is little different than professional wrestling personalities hitting each other over the head with folding chairs just to titillate the audience and play up to its expectations that an actual contest is being decided. In the end who actually "wins" but the WWE? Just like in party politics who actually "wins" but government? More and more government.

I know how you feel as I too was beguiled by the same rhetoric believing our guy was putting these in place because we needed it. I never thought to look back into history, that was never taught in school I might add, that there were in fact many reasons never to allow govt to take control over anything it wasn't allowed to do so by the constitution. The education most received was stupefied down to allow graduation of an entire class of ignorant citizens....their plan all along.

"Education", they cried giving lip service to the parents that desired their offspring to be better than themselves while they conspired to make a permanent dependent class that would never understand nor care that evil changes were coming down the road.
I will never allow this to happen to others that I'm associated with jowever difficult it may be to reach them.

Wow, you could have been me typing that.

I listed the official demise of the Republic on 6-28-12, it became official in my estimation at that point.  Everything since then has been just confirming that fact exponentially.
