I’d love for this guy to have a few words at the Republican convention. Articulate and unafraid to voice his opinions, in spite of the thought police BW has written about, I think he could open a few minds.

Sing It, Sister…

Sounds like Lissa is well on her way. (Hat Tip Cold Fury) Maybe this will help her on her way – “I’m a conservative Republican because…”……

Republicans believe that if they play patty cake with the Democrats across the aisle and make deals, they can get things done cause the Democrats will repay the favor.

That may or may not be true on individual cases, but in the greater worldview, the Democrats’ policies will eradicate the Republican party in the long term. If they have their way, there will be no place or need for Republicans. The vice a versa is not true, however.

So when Republicans say they are compromising with Democrats because of non-partisan whatevers, they are just sealing their own doom in the long term. But politicians are there to make deals, they aren’t there to fight and win wars.

I’d call myself a conservative, too. A Republican second. It’s a shame watching supposed conservative Republicans too fearful for their elected offices to vote their own principles. In which case they cannot be said to actually have principles I guess.

I would love that these values catch-on in the ‘hood. I really like this guy. And he’s no Oreo. God bless him!
