for the Teamsters to get federally mandated fuel subsidies. With diesel selling over four bucks just about everywhere, the truckers will have to foist this basic operating cost off onto customers, and what better way than to have O make it mandatory?
The right is so fragmented that almost every conservative or classical liberal is his own political party of one, and while many will hold their noses and pull ther R lever, every group has it’s own battle cry- ‘I won’t vote for this guy because he’s not Christian enough” “I won’t go for that guy because he’s too Christian” “I won’t vote for anyone who does x, y, or Z.”
Presenting no unified front means heavy losses, almost every time.
The left on the other hand would rather vote in a baby killer, so long as he keeps their subsidies or their favorite program intact. Obama will be a two-term president, and he will be replaced by someone worse. The fragmented, thoughtful right versus the unified, mindless left will always be a losing battle. Pascal will correct me on this, because I don’t know the exact quote- the leaders don’t care if you hate them, so long as you don’t love one another. Can it be that the whole of conservative talk radio is a series of wedges to splinter the right into smaller and smaller groups, each of which has no power against the leviathan of liberal ignorance? Maybe that’s tinfoil hattedness.
But that’s what’s happening.
that has always helped me to keep my cool in difficult situations, was a bit of advice given me by a good friend of mine some time ago.
“A warrior” he said “Is measured by his adversaries”
Not that I’m exactly a warrior, mind you, but you get the point. I don’t suffer fools and I don’t engage trolls because I won’t be thought of as fighting on their anencephalic level. Those people I have chosen personally to rail against are worthy, and may well win.
But I’ll keep trying anyway.
Pascal reminds me that conservative/libertarian types tend to listen to the Rush Limbaughs and Michael Savages of the world, and think, ‘we have a voice, too” and look at things like the release of Atlas as some kind of a turning point in the movement.
I’m all for anything that brings more people to common sense, but at the end of the day, that is not what this is about, is it, Pascal? We’ve looked into the belly of the beast. My tinfoil notwithstanding, it’s a quite interesting perspective. What if the whole array of conservative/libertarian/wookie media is just an elaborate scam?
