Dixie - In Memoriam
New member
So now the dust settles from Election '08, and we begin to get accustomed to hearing, "President Obama." Most of the left is acting like retarded kids on a field trip, while they see how fast they can spend our retirement. Some are still up there on Cloud Nine, believing that this political win somehow nullifies the viewpoints of almost half of the voters. That Obama will now be able to completely silence the conservative movement once and for all.
Indeed, the Fascist-Socialist Party...err...Democrats, have the proverbial Fairness Doctrine in their quiver. And indeed, they will become brazen enough to use it. At this point in time, why bother... Republicans are doing a pretty good job of beating themselves up. In post after post, thread after thread, I see people who I have come to know as "core" conservatives, falling all over themselves to be accepted by the Noble Ones of The Great Messiah. Those who have previously defined themselves as "Moderate" conservatives, are particularly annoying to me. These righties are having to go through the emotional phase of "Denial" before they come to "Acceptance." Perhaps it is because they somehow convinced themselves that "most of America" is like them, thinks the way they do... you know? Conservative, but not extreme!
Yeah, they believe in small government and less taxes, but let the liberals destroy our nation's moral foundation with social-moral cultural issues. Yeah, I like making Big Money, but I can do without the Fundies. What they monumentally fail to understand, is the way in which our Constitution was designed to withstand anything, and how removal of the foundation for it has incrementally changed America. This is the "Change" Obama and the Libs speak of, a "change" in our very culture, in who we are as a nation. Righties sometimes like to think of "change" as in "reform" ...making things better by revisiting, and rethinking them.
Dixie's Theory of Liberal Accusation states, any Liberal will loudly protest and complain about the very discrepancies they, themselves are most guilty of. So when we hear them go on and on for years, about PNAC, and New World Order, NEOCONS, Carlisle Group, secret meetings... world domination... blah blah blah... we can be certain, they are wholly capable of this sort of thing themselves. But the Liberals do this through the mask of activism, the ACLU, NOW, MoveOn.org, and promote their propaganda through every media outlet, from The DailyKos to The Daily Show. It all revolves around the common theme of "helping" someone. Namely, YOU!
The Southpaws of Politics have weapons the right doesn't have. They can always go to the Emotional Bag, and come up with a way to make the right look like Dick Cheney on a dreary and cold Moscow morning. They can trot out a movie or play about Bush, as some ignorant reckless cowboy, and play on the emotions of people who have been brainwashed already. Conditioned like young lambs at the veal factory. All they have to do, is focus on something, and it becomes burned into the American psyche. Through the "In-Crowd" cultural scenes, endless internet resources, many of which are absolute garbage, not worthy of the bandwidth it uses.
As we embark on this new avenue in history, there are some on the Right who just haven't gotten it yet. They continue to use the padded gloves and attempt to fight fairly and objectively. They politely preface their remarks with some sort of nod to Bush's Stupidity, or how the Republicans blew it... and then, they fall head-first into the trap of offering social conservatism up, as some kind of "compromise" with the Devil...err..Democrats! Yeah, sure, we'll throw the "Religious Right" under the bus, along with all those pesky social issues they are associated with. Just so long as we get our tax cuts!
John McCain was representative of playing fairly and objectively, throwing the social conservatives under the bus, and pretending you can have a rational and reasonable dialogue with the left! He made a career in politics doing just that. Some of us just seem to be in a boxing match with a street gang. We want to fall all over ourselves to appear non-extreme to the left, in hopes that we might actually find common ground, and it doesn't matter one whit to them, they are going to cut your throat out because you are a Rightie!
I have an extensive history of postings here, feel free to search the database, I challenge you to show me one instance of a SERIOUS extreme viewpoint on my behalf. Now, the pinheads can (and do) twist my comments and snippets of my posts into absurdly out-of-context exaggerations, but when you actually read my opinions on things, you will find that I am not an extremist person. On all those tests the Libertarians put out to show you what a good Libertarian you would make, I always score almost dead center, just a little to the right of center in fiscal policy. I fall clearly in the "moderate" range. Yet, the stigma and reputation I have come to enjoy here, would have you believe my viewpoints are on the right fringe of extremism.
They are winning the fight. They are successfully deprogramming conservatives. They are making you completely forget the principles our nation was founded on, and why we are conservative republicans. Foundational reasoning is apparent to anyone who has read the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence... We are endowed by our Creator, certain inalienable rights, among them, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Think about that... We declare ourselves independent because we believe we have been endowed this right to self-governance, to effect the objectives of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, as well as other things we are entitled to in the eyes of the Creator. This is the foundation of our nation, and to a larger degree, conservatism. Yes, I said that! You aren't mistaken. The foundational belief in "our Creator" is the hallmark of the Conservative platform, and is the basis for all other Conservative views.
Fear is a powerful thing. The left has, again successfully, stigmatized this "religious" belief, and many on the right have fallen for it. Fearing they might be seen as one of those Right-wing-radical-fundamentalists-like-tim-mcveigh! Meanwhile, they continue to erode away our very foundation, and we simply allow it to happen while we fall all over ourselves to not "appear" extreme! Fear of a Religious Theocracy is about the most absurd fear they will interject. Because of the brilliance of the Constitution, it is based on the foundational belief in "our Creator" yet it grants the freedom of all, to worship as they please, or not to worship, if that is what they desire. It doesn't "establish" any religious belief, or mandate that we must adhere to any religious belief. That doesn't alter what is the foundational principle for allowing such freedom, the endowment of "our Creator." The Declaration of Independence could have used "Our God Almighty" but it didn't... the writers purposely chose the wording to convey a universal thought and concept. We don't have to agree on the issue of "GOD" to establish our universal rights as humans, these things are endowed to us by whatever it is we believe in.
Yet, here we all are, debating what to do with the Republican party, which way to go... do we become even more "liberal" and abandon social conservatism? Do we move more toward a Libertarian philosophy? Or could it be, we need to take the damn padded gloves off, and start standing up for what we are again? Maybe we should come out of denial and accept that we can't ever have meaningful dialogue with the left? Maybe we need to find our voice again, find the courage to stand up for the principles we believe in, even when it's not popular, especially when it's not popular!
