The answer to politics is not more politics. It’s not making eloquent excuses for compromising fundamental principles. Freedom is what it is. It doesn’t change, it doesn’t mutate, and it doesn’t hybridize with tyranny. Breed one with the other, and the offspring is a two-headed carnivore with an insatiable appetite. Feed it morsels of our liberties, and it will only grow larger and demand more, until it’s swallowed up our Constitution for dinner.
In these times of pragmatic politics and pandering politicians, Republican lawmakers wear the moniker “conservative” like a cheap tin badge won at a carnival game. But they soon forget that freedom is not a game. It is a fight to the finish. Because with so many of our elected officials, politics triumphs over claimed principles, and compromise triumphs over claimed courage, the fight for liberty is becoming a lost cause.
The gradual usurpations are no longer gradual, and we quickly blame the Democrats for that. But we stand at the brink of tyranny not because Democrats act like Democrats, but because so many Republicans do also. As candidates, they roar with the rhetoric of freedom, but cower like kittens when called upon to defend it. In my state of Montana and nationally, Republicans have increasingly marched to the drum of pragmatism over principle. They act as though freedom is a quaint relic, no longer worth fighting for. They have lost their will and lost their way.
And I might add, damorats need a new tribe also. No sense in lame individuals that aren’t productive go on to make it in a presidential competition and cheat to keep on truckin’
What we need are men and women with a backbone that will not bow down to our top supposed Leaders and kiss their butts. Also bowing down to other countries to line their pockets and make themselves and their families rich. It has become pathetic how the Democrats are selling off this great country to our enemies.
I would second that as many are beginning to act like the idiots on the left!!!
