MUSINGS ON A LATE SPRING AFTERNOON
Well, I read your website on the weekends! I can understand your frustration with blogging at that point. Attacks coming in from folks that hate that you question the party line, and then there is the lefties with their "told you so's". I'm not a blogger myself, but reading your prose, you lay it out "as it is" with no apologies. Love it, love it.
I totally agree with you on where we'll be very soon. Lived through it more than once, and its discouraged me from even believing anyone in Washington.
Out of a family of 5 (with three older sisters, two of them in the healthcare profession), I actually have a small spectrum of the "common" voter. I'm conservative. My oldest sister is a closet Liberal. She won't admit it as it would probably disappoint Dad, but her thoughts and justifications for our debates (that I love) are straight Michael Moore, Al Gore claptrap. Explaining facts and figures (which are indisputable outside of a Hollywood production --cough-- F911, Inconvenient Truth -- cough -- are quickly dismissed because "that's the way it is! [Science and research be damned!]"
In any event, this is what will happen if a Demo is elected in 2008 (which is a very real possibility, money and donations to the candidates or the GOP be damned)... We'll get into this whole new "dialog" with our enemies. This will be heralded as how strong Dems are with foreign relations. They will talk and discuss (unlike Repubs that always want to go to war first to further enrich their defense contractors as the media like to report it) and that will be heralded as the U.S. participating in World Relations unlike BusHitler McChimpy. Actually, I will say that I tire of both of our sides with the cute little names we have for each other, but I digress. The thing I absolutely HATED while I was in the Army from 90-96 was Clinton's constant apologizing for everything the US did when he was on foreign soil. It didn't matter that as a Nation, it was the right thing, he would apologize because it agreed with whatever beef the local Gov't and especially the media had against us at the time.
So, that leaves us with your words and what I feel will very well happen. Lame Duck status of the President will cripple our foreign efforts, cause a lot of conservatives and others to move back into an isolationist policy with foreign affairs to our detriment, and we get to go through this whole circus all over again. This time with much higher stakes!
Oh, and as far as this convoluted immigration bill is... Will the last citizen of this country please remember to bring the flag and turn out the lights on their way out? Thanks!
