There will be no compromise ! This is a fight to the death ! |
|
There is no compromise in their cold hearts. There is only one way home - victory. We must defeat them at the polls. We must send the radicals in the House and Senate back to their little right-wing villages and let them proselytize at their local VFW clubs or whereever they can find their rabid little audiences.
We can be under no illusion. The ideal of compromise as an American tradition is long gone. These people are bent on the destruction of everything you believe in and have fought and died for. This is no time for patriotic mutterings. This is the last chance we get for a peaceful resolution to this radical takeover of our government.

This is all or nothing. It was compromise that got us into this mess in the first place. I don't want to be united. I don't want to appeal the other side. I don't want to try to see things from their point of view. I am one one partisan SOB and I want clear and total victory.

2. Oh you are so right.... |

Just today I made sure that my 19 year old is going to vote for his first time this Nov.
I continue to lobby my very large family via email and keep track of their commitments to go and vote.
At work, we have another email group which is growing and stays committed to talking about turnout.
All and all, I have personally generated at least 10 times the voter turnout I did 4 years ago. That's what we have to do at a grass roots level...each and every one of us.
It doesn't take much time....just think of who you know and who you can bug about it.

Part of the problem or part of the solution.
No mercy in the war against the right wing fascists. Their time is up!

You are either with us or you are against us. I guess I will be against them.

4. The problem with compromising |
|
is that our side is the only one that ever does it.

Russ Feingold keeps saying that every election, politicians say that this "is the most important election in our life time. The truth is, this time the politicians are right!"
I cannot think of a more important election in my (long) life. This election will decide who we as a country. really are. It is also a test of the political process: to determine if it has been so corrupted by money and media complicity, that democracy has ceased to exist.
It's a test and we must pass it.

9. This War Veteran agrees with you 100%. We all have to do all we can to |
|
stop this fascist Regime now, while we still can. History has not looked kindly upon a people who for whatever reason have either supported or stood by while their leaders have lead their Nations down the road toward World domination, at least since the beginning of the 20th century ,in what I will call, the modern era. WE, ALL AMERICANS, HAVE A SOLEMN DUTY TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. This Administration has and is doing all it can to shred this SACRED DOCUMENT. ...Oscar

However, this is the time for truly patriotic speaking --- in defense of liberty and constitutional government of, by and for the people. Let us not confuse the unpatriotic, treasonous posturings of the extremists with true patriotism.
How many, I wonder, are ready for the second part of your premise? The descendants of the founders seem little worthy of their heroic mantle.

can muster in this hour of National need.It is incumbent upon us all to do what we can. I know from direct experience to expect to get nothing in return. None the less , IT IS UP TO US. We have to stop this madness, this rush into calimity, based on ignorant arrogance . We are not the SUPER POWER some imagine us to be. ...Oscar
