Zipline Conservative

Someone within the Republican Party or whatever Party captures the Conservative’s imagination must call BS on the Neo Con’s. Only Libertarians and Paleo’s delight in this and for me they seem to take on as much glee as a Leftist in highlighting the downfall of the Party. That does not set well with me…there is something there as smelly as a Neo for me…not sure what it is…almost an arrogant-elitism equal to the Left….an attitude not borne of middle America. Is there just no end to the power addiction and arrogance of the Right and the Left? We have become too big and this only invites power whores that envision reshaping in images that never will resonate with Americans.

Ok, so Armey didn’t say exactly what the header says. But, it was close enough. Where in the hell has Dick Armey been for 8 damn years while Bush et al drove the Party over the cliff? I agree with much of what Armey say re limited government, spending and why the Party lost  control in 2006. BUT, I do not see it remarked upon about something else I recall in 2006..something that was pounded upon for months and went unaswered: Republican Hypocrisy.   The hypocrisy that any middle American get pissed off about and that any Liberal enjoys pointing too. Fecking queer (no offense to queers) and self rightous congressmen chasing boys and doing the foot tap in bathroom stalls was the turning point!! Do you remember that?  American’s Hate Hypocrisy….I do!!!!! 

 That is one reason why religion, whether it is an under pinning to values or not, must be reduced as a focal point in Republican pronouncements. Constantly pontificating over morals, values, religion only sets every moralistic spewer up for the hypocrisy label. Every bit as damaging as spending like a drunken sailor on a whore, while in port. Stop with the bible waving…enough! Live it and shut up already. 

Another thing: I am sickened by the adoration of a single human to save us (Obama) and would be equally sickened by the adoration of a messiah from the Right. Would Reagan really want all this adoration? There is something deplorably weak about the masses chasing a single person and bland words. Principles, principles, principles not a person.

“Our career-serving political class, the education establishment, the traditional news media, the people responsible for (in a good and in a bad way) for our movies and television entertainment — it seems of late that too many of them are singing with the same voice and the same song. Different words, perhaps, and out of some obscure motivation, but all to the same end, and now and again I detect some whisper of the same motivating contempt for the American public. Contempt for our tastes or lack of same, of our habits in shopping, amusing ourselves, our persistent attachment to religious beliefs, to habits of self-sufficiency, and our stubborn disinclination to do or believe as our self-nominated betters dictate — it’s all on very ugly display. The media gang-up on Joe the Plumber, for having the impertinence to ask a tough question of the favored candidate was just the most recent and most open, and the most unsettling display.

Really, what do these new aristos expect of the masses, the proletariat, the common citizenry? More and more I have the feeling that we are seen as a kind of herd animal, to be periodically sheared like sheep, relieved of whatever fleece or funds that the new aristos feel they could make better use of, to do as we are told, to not really consider our property, our children, or our earnings as our own. If the aristos decide that they require such things to be given up… well, then, fall in line the loyal peasantry. And don’t forget to smile.”
