Hang Right Politics

It’s a very disconcerting time to be an American. The world is watching as the freedoms of our political system are abused by one party in an effort to prevent our national success in a war. It’s not a small local conflict like Kosovo, or a sectarian conflict in Africa, the war we battle is for our survival. The last few months have caused me to pause and ask a question I never thought I’d contemplate, can we lose?

The answer is no. We can’t lose. That doesn’t mean we won’t lose because they surrender.

Let’s imagine the future with a democrat administration. For many of us, we’d rather do an Oedipal eye removal, but it’s important to see what lies ahead. After they have surrendered the middle east, crippled our economy with higher taxes and environmental restrictions, demoralized our military, and given citizenship to illegal aliens and civil rights to terrorists, signaled to terrorist regimes across the globe such as Assad and Chavez that we’ve got no backbone, we will be the nation that democrats say we are - no better than any other - and significantly worse. That’s the best way to destroy our patriotism, the patriotism that flies flags, the patriotism they defend by spitting on our troops, the patriotism they abhor.

Returning to the heady days of a Carter economy and a Clinton wag-the-dog foreign policy, and ripening to a Gore environmental policy is precisely the cataclysm we are headed toward.

And who put us on this course? Some GOPers want to blame Bush. Great, then they are doing their part. In-fighting makes us weaker. Democrats don’t suffer from any such compunctions to express their inner self-immolaters. In all the blame we feel like tossing around, let’s remember, America voted for the democrats because the republicans were spending like democrats-lite. But let’s not forget that the media in this country has hit GWB, and republicans in general with all they have in their arsenal. It’s been a steady feed of defeat for years.

In spite of a record breaking economy, people don’t give the President any credit, why is that? Americans are very prosperous, so prosperous, they hardly take a moment to contemplate what COgirl wrote so eloquently about yesterday, our days versus the day in Iraq for one of our brightest and best. Their daily heroism isn’t being recorded in our oral histories on the nightly news - only the passing of their lives on the altar of political expedience, an ignorant sheep, involuntarily slaughtered and numbered by CNN, with no mention of his mission, his dedication, his patriotism, his ambitions, his hopes, and the dreams that he died so we could enjoy. The grave injustice of this alone has demoralized a generation. But, thanks to the economy, we can go on our merry way, complaining mindlessly about a foreign policy so broadly decried in our national media, and without response from our own leaders.

This time it isn’t the economy. It’s the press.

We will lose the war because our press will not tell its true story. We can lose Iraq, and if the democrats have their way using a complicit media, we will lose America.

We must fight back. Patrick Ruffini has begun a counterattack. He’s revived a Reaganism “We Win, They Lose”. Here’s the email I received from him:

Recently, I’ve written about the need to use new online strategies to mobilize against the Democrat-controlled Congress. Today, I’ve launched WeWinTheyLose.com, a place where conservatives can sign up to keep the pressure on elected officials to stand by our troops and stand for victory in Iraq. This effort is named for Ronald Reagan’s simple recipe for defeating Soviet tyranny: “We win, they lose.”

Our first action is a petition against the Democrats’ shameless surrender shenanigans. Please sign the petition here.

The site has only been up a few hours and response is coming in strong. We’ve already signed up some of the leading lights in the conservative blogosphere as official members of the “We Win, They Lose” coalition.

Here’s something you can do. Now do it.
