Gut Check: The Sleeping Policeman

It's Sunday morning, and I'm reading the reports on the Malaysia Airline mass murder, and it's beyond depressing. Imagine if it were a son or a daughter, a sister or a brother, a mom or a dad—rotting in that field. And surrounding that field are a band of mystery men, preventing recovery. And think to yourself, that these fellows are picking through your loved ones' things—not only destroying a crime scene but possibly helping themselves to whatever’s around them.

Amidst the clamoring for action and demands for investigations, a sense of helplessness permeates such rage. Without America leading the charge, the world body is headless; it's simply a chicken squawking around the ghastly field of dismal realities. Downed planes, kidnapped girls, women stoned for adultery, 100 dead in Nigeria. S*** happens, to be sure. But we used to be the s***-kickers.

“Republican primary voters in blue states, often with democrat votes in open primaries, picked our designated loser. As predicted, Romney lost. Y’all were warned. We cannot beat progressives by voting for progressives.”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

And believe it or not, voters (or non-voters, as it were) like you played right into the hands of progressives. You act as if nominees like McCain or Romney were sad that they lost. They were very happy to be losers to serve their masters. True, they are part of the Uniparty Ruling Elite, but at least if McCain was elected, we would have had Palin in position. Now she’s a writer. And we will have eight years of Obama’s destruction, plus his ultra-radical court appointments for decades to come.

Had McCain or Romney been elected, at least we could have incrementally moved the football toward our own goal. Now the wrong team is first and goal, and the clock is starting to run out.

All because a few hundred thousand “conservatives” were too ideologically “pure” to vote for a centrist candidate.

If McCain was elected we would be at war in 20 countries. The man is insane. Romney would have moved the Obamacare crony capitalist money spout to his donors. The political football would have moved toward the progressive goalpost.

As for Governor Palin, if she runs she gets my vote. If not, she is an effective voice for the conservative movement.
