FAINTHEARTED !

Throughout the long road traveled (70+ and counting) many miles have involved political action or thought. As a Goldwater activist I have found myself with or within Republican groups. By default.  There is not the smallest crevice in all democratdom where a Conservative could reside. So--------here I find myself. But I have a major complaint. In too many cases repubs AND their allies(?), are what in my youth we used to call scairdy cats. Today’s vocabularies have stronger words for the same but Town Hall will not post with such usage. So I will settle for fainthearted.

What do we make of the current status of the philosophical struggle?  On the left and far left we have a conglomeration that includes:  democrats, socialists, communists, utopians atheists, anarchists and in general a significant crowd that hates America.  Remember, I’m talking about those here within the borders of this great nation.  Citizens all!

On the RIGHT of the political spectrum, we have republicans, conservatives, neo-conservatives, country club types, “moderates” ( I hate to put them here), capitalists, and opportunists.

Being of the “right” my complaint about MY fellow travelers is that too many of them are timid, timid, timid.  They could, nearly all, take lessons from the left.  The left practices a golden rule of politics (pardon me Nancy):  When faced with a choice between two slobs – you choose your own slob!  The left understands this as they march in lockstep.  The right in too many cases, is quick to turn against their own, if transgressions occur.  Examples are legion.  While tut tutting tricky dicks keystone cops routines, mild mannered senate republicans caved on Clintons  stained dress.  While d’s went along half heartedly censuring a d MC who buggered a page and won several re-elections, the right in all its glory is hiding under their beds in terror in re an MC who practiced internet sex with (former?) pages.  The next speaker, who marched in the homosexual parade in beautiful downtown San Francisco, just behind the hero of the man/child bunch, is pounding poor meek mild Dennis Hastert about being slow to give the heave ho to a homosexual member.  Let’s close our eyes and imagine the loud noise if he had been heavy handed with one of the lefts privileged class – homosexuals, republican or otherwise!

So I ask; why do the democrats have the brass to violate the adage:”He who lives in a glass house should not throw rocks”?  The answer: because they know republicans and most of the right are timid.  That they are quick to play by the Marques of Queensberry rules.  That they tend to Mr. Clean, to where it is nauseous.  Playing nicey nice makes the republicans feel good and makes the democrats laugh so hard they can barely keep a straight face when they talk of republican corruption.

The list of those on the right who are jumping all over their House Speaker a month before a critical election, is long, and even could be labeled prominent (not):

George Will, The Washington Times, Laurence Kudlow, John Boehner, Debra Price, etc, etc, etc.

The democrats are laughing out loud.  Are you?  I’m not.
