Thursday.....Politics.....Shake The Timbers

For the past few days I tried a new bumper sticker scheme. Below the Special Dog URL, I have another sticker. Today it read, 103 Days Left. It alludes to 103 days left until the November elections. Tomorrow I'll change it to 102 and so on. I'm trying to get people's attention, enough to look at the blog. It doesn't really express my priority at this time for just getting to November 2nd without a slow but continuous disintegration of our American heritage, way of life, national defense and Constitution is the problem, and why it's time to call every man (woman) to their post right now and not wait on election day. To compound the problem, even after the House and possibly the Senate leaves the hands of this Progressive cabal, there will still be over two months before a new Congress is sworn in to stop, not the leak of freedoms, but the deluge. The potential of the executive order will loom over us for much longer than that. Speaking to conservatives here; we are all familiar with the legislative ploy used often over the past 18 months that we have to act right now!!!, in effect saying we do not want to talk about this, we don't want the public involved any more than they already are and if we are forced to go into detail they (the public) will never go for it. We Republicans have our own rhetorical ploys. One is, but think of the alternative!, when it comes time to hold your nose and vote for wobbly Republicans. I mentioned this before but think it bears repeating, Oliver Cromwell was subordinate to the Earl of Manchester in the Second Battle of Newbury but Manchester lacked the aggressiveness needed for victory. It was going to be a right proper scrimmage, don't you know. Tallyho! Cromwell would have none of it and warned Manchester that if he had to go through Manchester's army first, he would. Manchester accused Cromwell of recruiting officers of low birth  (tea partier types?). Cromwell's response was If you choose Godly honest men to be captains of horse, honest men will follow them. I would rather have a plain russet-coated captain who knows what he fights for and loves what he knows than that which you call a gentleman and is nothing else. Winning the Congress back in November should not be the only goal, shaking the timbers of the house of Republicanism to knock the pretenders out of the rafters should be. The message to Republicans should be dig your feet in and don't give up any more ground, or your on your own. I don't mean to disparage precinct work and Republican committees but I, personally, have had enough of reaching out across the aisle only to have someone try to stamp government property on it.
