INSIGHT on Freedom: Did You Ever Wonder?
May 30th, 2008 . by TexasFredMy very good friend Longstreet at INSIGHT on Freedom has written a wonderful piece entitled ‘Did you ever wonder?’ Here is that article and my response to it.
Did you ever wonder why ALL the Republican Presidential candidates, and Presidents, are said to be so dumb and ignorant? Huh?
Did you ever wonder why the Democrat’s Presidential candidates, and Presidents, are said to be so smart, so intelligent? Huh?
Did you ever wonder why so many more of those dumb, ignorant, Republicans get elected President? Huh?
Did you ever wonder when, if ever, the Left is finally going to become cognoscente of the fact that they come across, to the average American, as arrogant, know it alls, who talk down to the rest of us whom they see as the dirty, unwashed, masses lucky, mind you, to have them offer themselves as a candidate to be President? Huh?
Did you ever wonder… why… after all the promises the Left has made to them, and not kept, Black Americans continue to vote for Democrats… overwhelmingly? Huh?
Did you ever wonder why the Left has no solutions to ANYTHING to offer?
Did you ever wonder why they are able to do nothing but disrupt, obfuscate, block, and hinder?
Did you ever wonder why the Left is not willing to defend this country? Did you ever wonder why they do not feel the US is worth dying for?
Did you ever wonder if they ever see themselves through the eyes of the average American who thinks their antics, such as the street demonstrations against the war, etc, are childish, silly, and do nothing to aid the country and everything to aid the “Islamofacists†sworn to wipe America from the face of the earth?
Did you ever wonder why the Left thinks more of trees and animals than they do for God’s own children, the human race?
Did you ever winder how the Left can manufacture lies such as accusing the Republicans of stealing the Presidential elections in 2000, and 2004, and then come to believe their own lies?
Did you ever wonder where the Old Democrat Party went?
Did you ever wonder how the socialists managed to take over an entire major political party in the US without a struggle?
Did you ever wonder why the Left is so cozy with that bunch of thieves, brigands, and reprobates, at the United Nations?
Did you ever wonder why the Democrat Party finds it more important “to seem†rather than “to be�
Did you ever wonder…?

I regularly wonder about ALL of this, I know that many years ago, ALL of my family, both sides, were hard working Southern Dems and would slap hell out of anyone that said homosexual marriage was a good thing and that ‘abortion on demand’ needed to become an accepted trend…
I know that my folks believed in America 1st, that’s why it’s so ingrained into everything I do…
I remember back in the early 70’s, my sister was attending LSU and came home and announced that she was an active member of The Young Republicans, nearly threw my folks into a state of shock…
As time went by my folks too became a lot more Republican, simply because the Dems had moved to the left and my folks were just not able to support that liberal point of view, so they became Republicans, because at that time the term Conservative wasn’t attached to politics…
Ever since Ronald Reagan, in all of his greatness, named G.H.W. Bush as his vice president, I was very skeptical of the Republican party as a whole, and I totally turned my back on it once Bush became Bush 41, I was a registered Independent, and given the complexion of the Clinton White House, I maintained that declaration then and now, and I can assure you, G.W. Bush and the current crop of Repubs have done absolutely nothing to make me want to give them my allegiance, in any way…
The Republican party left me just like the Dems left my parents and their parents, the party of the Southern Dems was no more and the migration to the RNC became an exodus from what is now nothing more than Dem-Lite…
Conservatives in this nation have an opportunity in front of them right now that is nothing less than stellar, I only hope they can seize the moment, but giving the White House to John McCain or Obama won’t do anything to help the present situation, but by the time the next presidential election comes along, the American people will be so fed up with BOTH parties that perhaps their apathy will be put aside and they too will embrace an attitude of America 1st…
If not, I fear this once great nation will be beyond redemption…

Thanks, Fred! Sounds like our backgrounds are very similar. My folks were dems also. Portraits of FDR on the walls of our dwellings. Me? I’m the black sheep of the family. Always headstrong and stubborn. I simply could not accept what the democrats were offering. All I had to do was bow down and worship at the feet of FDR! No WAY!At 5:15 this morning I was in my local Wal-Mart store talking to a Native American (Indian) woman about the three candidates for president. I did not inquire as to her political party registration, but knowing this lady I would bet money she is a registered democrat. She volunteered there was no way she would vote for Obama. She went on to say that she couldn’t vote for ANY of the three candidates. I was NOT surprized!Democrats outnumber Republicans by a good two to one in my county in NC. BUT… and this is the really BIG BUT… they are CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS! Yes, there does exist such an animal. I think Obama will eventually get the democrat nomination and then he will lose the election in November. That would make me very happy! However, that happiness is tempered by the fact that John McCain will probably win. If the dems win as big as I expect they will, in congressional seats, it really won’t make any difference who the President is. The Congress will have the votes to override any veto the President MIGHT cast. So, no matter how we slice it… we are in for a rough four years… at the very least!Thanks, again!Longstreet
Fred, your folks sound like mine. My mother campaigned for FDR and I even have one of his campaign buttons she gave me. She says the Democrats of today aren’t the party of FDR and JFK so she became a Republican in the early 80′s. Right now she’s not happy with the Republicans, saying it’s hard to tell them from Democrats, but she’ll most likely vote for McCain.Â
“…Did you ever wonder why the Left is not willing to defend this country? Did you ever wonder why they do not feel the US is worth dying for?…”I cannot, for the life of me get my arms around this one. We are still the most blessed nation in the world, offering more opportunities to succeed than anywhere else on the planet, yet so many feel they are entitled to success without effort, and failure is never their fault.Coincidentally, their charismatic candidate has tapped into that very desire, and is making promises that will never happen. There is no such a thing as a ‘free lunch’. And when it comes time to pay the price, conservatives will once again be blamed for the ‘misfortunes’ of the left.
As a moderate, I too, feel that I have no political party. I cannot count the number of times that I have voted for someone who I knew had no chance of winning but I knew it was the only way that I could protest. I don’t think that it makes any difference if there is a R or a D in front of most candidates names, once they get in office they will vote for the exclusive few, not for thee or me. I do need to say a good thing about FDR. He was the last president that I remember who actually fought a war to win it. He was the commander in chief over the generals, Patton, McArthur and Esienhower and those three gentlemen and all the millions who fought for them and us are the main reason we don’t speak German today. I would like to see at least two new parties and I wish that we had the recall option that Britain has when it’s populance no longer has faith in it’s elected officials.
