How can you be sure that your idea of conservatives, or conservatives at all, will rule the ruins?Considering the way things have been going I don't think anyone can be sure that anyone's idea of conservatives will "rule," the ruins or otherwise.
Besides, I don't want and we don't need "rulers." Always remember that the first thing to go wrong with any conservative "revolution" is when the conservatives get the brilliant idea that it's their turn to "rule" (how'd that brilliant idea work out for you and for us, 2001-2006 GOP government?) instead of keeping the brilliant idea that it's the government which needs a watchful and ornery eye upon it---not the "ruled."
Remember that we're talking, in the end, about politicians. About whom P.J. O'Rourke had a point when he said, Politicians are foxes. But we insist on believing that some are guard dogs. We elect them to watch the hen house, and on the first Wednesday in November there's nothing left but feathers.
And unless there's a heretofore unseen surprise coming our way at convention time, on the first Wednesday of this November we're going to see nothing left but feathers, yet again, whether it's the re-election of His Excellency Al-Hashish Field Marshmallow Dr. Barack Obama Dada, COD, RIP, LSMFT, Would-Be Life President of the Republic Formerly Known as the United States and Chairman of the Organisation of Halfrican Unity; or, the election of the Bain of our existence . . .
Which is one reason why (in my state we can do this) I'm casting a write-in vote for the man who once said, Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and misapplying the wrong solutions, on the grounds that Artemus Ward was right: if you can't find a live manperson who amounts to anything, by all means let's have a first class corpse.
Thanks very much for your reply.
There may have been a miscommunication on my part. I think you were responding to the ‘ruins’ of the party when I meant the ruins of the country.
>>I don’t want and we don’t need “rulers.”
I think that results in being ruled by others.
I know you don’t mean ‘be passive’ but without organization, organizational unity, hierarchy, leadership, valor only ends in a glorious death in defeat.
I don’t see the strategy wisdom in fighting in this manner.
Though it’s likely obvious, I should have added in reply to:
>>>I don’t think anyone can be sure that anyone’s idea of conservatives will “rule,” the ruins or otherwise.
Then, without some assurance or at least some reasonably successful concept, I think it irresponsible to act in ways that further the ruination.
Thanks again for your reply.
