So Strong Is The Siren's Call Of Defeatism

A picture is worth a thousand words.  In the editorial cartoon seen here, Joe Heller depicts the remaining GOP presidential candidates taking swipes at each other while the errand boy sent by grocery clerks is laughing his ass off.

And it’s not just POTUS who’s laughing.  All the progressives, Alinskyites, socialists and Marxists are having a field day as well.  We have become a laughingstock.

We wait on the good people of Florida to cast their votes on Tuesday.  Most polls show Romney leading Gingrich and Rick Santorum has temporarily suspended his campaign due to the hospitalization of his 3-year-old daughter Bella.  By Wednesday morning, we’ll have the answers to some of the burning questions about this primary season.

The Internet is filled with pundits who have taken out their long knives to assail this candidate or that candidate in what they must regard as a friendly game of political assassination. Instead of trying to bind us together in victory they are answering the siren’s call of defeatism.

The visual for the Left is that the GOP is in a shambles.  Is it?  Have we fought so hard to only sound retreat now?  Everybody needs to stop the G-D sniveling.  Stop it you all—that means you Bob Dole and you Ann Coulter and Rush and everyone else.

The voters are not a bunch of dimwits.  They took to the streets in 2009 at Tea Party rallies and their efforts brought about a “shellacking” of the Dems in 2010.  Remember that?  I do.  What the hell has happened to us?

At the 10th Annual CPAC Conference in 1983, Ronald Reagan said we would not be turned back.

“The task that has fallen to us as Americans is to move the conscience of the world, to keep alive the hope and dream of freedom. For if we fail or falter, there'll be no place for the world's oppressed to flee to.”
“This is not a role we sought. We preach no manifest destiny. But like the Americans who brought a new nation into the world 200 years ago, history has asked much of us in our time. Much we've already given; much more we must be prepared to give.”
“This is not a task we shrink from; it's a task we welcome. For with the privilege of living in this kindly, pleasant, greening land called America, this land of generous spirit and great ideals, there is also a destiny and a duty, a call to preserve and hold in sacred trust mankind's age-old aspirations of peace and freedom and a better life for generations to come.”

We have a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure in the White House whose record is one of abject failure.  Jimmy Carter is delighted to know that his legacy as this nation’s worst president has been surpassed by that of the current occupant of the Oval Office.

Mitt, Newt and Rick need to campaign against the community organizer and not against each other.  We, the electorate, will decide which one emulates the values we hold dear and the vision we have for America.
 
Diane Sawyer, George Stephanopoulos, John King, Wolf Blitzer and Brian Williams may suffer from delusions of grandeur, but they do not and cannot tell me how to vote and they shouldn’t be able to tell you either.

Any of the candidates running for the presidency would be an improvement on the errand boy sent by grocery clerks.  Everybody needs to settle down and remember we are fighting for America—America and our future.  Doesn’t that mean anything to you?
