As we settle into the nighttime of dispair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again.
Good morning!!
We, here, will never forget those who died on September 11, 2001, and whose lives we cherish as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm.
Jim Webb has now had his Alexander Haig moment. Declaring victory even before commonwealth officials have verified that vote counting was done accurately. This process they refer to as a "canvass", where they check each precincts reporting against tabulations to ensure votes were put in the correct column. Already nearly 4,000 votes for Allen were incorrectly tabulated against Webb. Allen, for his part, has a measured response to the situation. He will wait for the canvass to complete before issuing any statements. On the part of the commonwealth, the canvass is proceding very, very slowly. Only a handful of precincts have completed work. Considering the closeness of the race, this is probably a good thing.
If Jim Webb's precipitousness is a measure of the other party's reaction to Tuesday, we are going to have a long two years until we return to full power. We must do, in that period, what we must do.
First and foremost, we must protect ourselves physically. A group of masogonists have assumed the mantle of authority in the House of Representatives, and are at the brink in the Senate. Only to the extent it will serve their thirst for control, will these cretains do anything to protect the citizens of the Nation from attack. It's simply secondary.
The other party will seek to end the war in Iraq. We say fine, we'll just veto your action. IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE! YOU NEED SOMETHING TO VETO!
Already, we are getting reports of how this will take place. The House Ways and Means Committee leftists are opening talking about spending bills that will not contain any money for operations in Iraq. It's that simple, they will defund the war.
That said, there are still alternatives. It would take an affirmative action (dictionary definition here folks) on the part of the legislators to prevent any money from being spent in Iraq. The President would be in a bind, however, as he would have to divert money, carefully, from other areas where legislation was loosely written. That carries a public relations risk on two fronts--first, the program that gets guttted will now become a PR issue, and secondly, the legislators will complain the White House is trying to take away their appropriations authority. We'll come back to that.
Defunding the war in Iraq is popular with the other party. They apparently have no synapses in their gray matter that will allow them to understand that we are fighting the terrorists--over there, not over here. If there's no "over there," then they will be over here. We should undertake whatever personal measures we feel we have to do to cope with such a situation. If you live in attack prone areas, such as myself, get your wills in order. Talk to your loved ones, develop plans, and make sure everyone knows what they need to do.
Now, where does the other party intend to go? Pelosi says she is not out to Impeach the President, yet. The war, however, is their big hot button, and they will lay the trap with defunding. As mentioned, the President could use other funding to keep the war going, but then the Judiciary Committee will lay claim the President is usurping Congress' sole authority under Article I to appropriate money and, as the courts have consistently ruled, designate how it is to be used. This will be the canard used to conduct the impeachment.
But that's not the only place we need to plan. We need to plan financially. If the House Members of the other party do pull off their gambit to impeach, then the ability of the President to resist onerous legislation will be compromised. In comes the taxation. After all, one high-ranking witch-looking individual in the Senate has already stated those who earned must part with the fruits of their labor "for the greater good". What is the greater good? Lowering medicare prescription costs--since producers cannot do that, government subsidy.
But let's not stop there. The eko-wackos are in charge of the shop too. Like three dollar per gallon gas? It'll be back. Again, two arguments for it on the part of the left--first, you were used to paying that amount, and secondly, it's to punish the criminal leaders of the oil company. So keep that in mind as you pay at the gas pump--three dollars per gallon is bad when it's going into the company to pay for the cost of production, but it's good when it's going into the company to pay taxes to the government.
So, our immediate, near-term, focus should be on our personal affairs. After we get these in order, then we focus on bringing down the corrupt left.
Yes, corrupt. They complain about the Republicans, but there have only been a few, but very celebrated (maybe because we are, as a party, pretty good), instances. Look at what's going into power. A prospective candidate for Majority Leader lived in an apartment where a homosexual escort service operated from. A pornographer, if the Virginia results hold, will be in the Senate. The junior senator from New York has numerous fund raising issues yet to be resolved. The Represenative from the 5th District of Maryland has numerous instances of "sweetheart" land deals with "preferential" tax treatments, never resolved. And the beat goes on. And we must beat that drum every chance as we move forward.
Then there's the number one target. The incoming Speaker. Every misstep, every misstatement. Every time she talks to reaching into our wallet, every time she seeks to emaciate the War on Terror, every time she does anything contrary to common sense, WE NEED TO BE THERE. We need to, and WE WILL speak up.
The left must come to learn they are wrong, and we are right. That is why we are the Right--because we are just, good, and correct. And we understand that Americans are at their best when they are left alone by their Government, to be free to pursue their legal and good intentions to make this land a better place.
That is what we are about, and that is the message we will send for the next two years from every rooftop, from every mountain, from every platform. Freedom will ring once again once power has been restored to those who will exercise it judiciously, not simply because they have it.
It is our birthright to be free. We will fight for that freedom, even if it is against an oppressive political force.
The water is receding from the beach. The next wave is forming. It is our wave. We will ride it in.
Stay true to our ideals, and Godspeed to each and every one of us.
Charge on, and do the RIGHT thing!
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
LET'S ROLL!!!
Good moring! The DemoncRATS are asking Bush to have a summit on Iraq.
Morning, Mr Chair!
Summit on Iraq sounds sweel, so long as they hold it in Iraq. *L*
Good idea!
Excellent starting essay, Chairman. I am right now looking at how money can be saved in several areas of our budget because I expect we will need it.
. . AND CHARLIE TURNS OFF THE CHARM
Last week, the veteran Harlem pol responded to the veep's claim that he didn't understand how the economy works by calling Cheney a "son of a bitch."
Real classy.
Yesterday, in his first full press conference since the Democrats won on Tuesday, Rangel ratcheted things up.
He noted that an office that Cheney uses in the U.S. Capitol building has traditionally been used by the Ways and Means chairman. Then he said, mockingly, "I'm trying to find some way to be gentle to restore the dignity of that office" - indicating that Cheney had better find new digs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Thanks for that SUPER excellent analysis and agenda, Chair. If we heed the warnings and stick to it, we can wave goodbye to those who endangered our troops and our country.
Don't be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time: Matthew 6:34
I like what was used on yesterday's thread: PUSH! (pray until something happens)
A typical midterm Bob Tyrrell
Republicanism, not conservatism, lost Philip Klein
Rangel's remark......petty effort of a Black man to humiliate a White man. Last I heard, the Vice President of the United States is above RAngel's pay scale.
LOL! His charm offensive was short lived.
He's a thug. No class at all. I sure hope voters will immediately suffer from buyer's remorse.
I have not had FOX on since I bleeped Shepard Smith Tuesday evening. As someone mentioned on the earlier thread, their ratings are going to really take a hit now.
Nancy Pelosi loves Mexico more than America and the illegals continue to pour across the border.
What will it take to open the eyes of the people I mention in my tag line?!?
The Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate. Outranks Rangel in that regard too.
no hope Bev. Plus he's underpressure to end it. Too many votes short.
Good Morning Chair. As I said yesterday, every political movement has it's peaks and valleys.
It is up to those of us who are left to begin the rebuilding process. We may be down and out, but we're still here.
I see the RATS didn't wait very long to start feeling their oats. There was no way Rangel could keep his mouth shut, and I expect that Pelosi and Conyers will be right behind him, dying to start spewing venom. As a Republican, I say "Keep it up!" because the more they mouth off, the sooner 2008 gets here.
Sad to see Allen go down, really sad to see Rick Santorum lose. Time to start looking at '08. Now that Allen has been destroyed by the MSM/RATS, I'm going to have to look at Mitt Romney, unless a Southern or Midwestern Pubbie raises their head.
