House Minority Leader John A. Boehner is the perfect Republican. What I mean by this is that he always manages to look for the compromise whenever it isn’t needed nor even desired by anyone but himself. Boehner is everything that is wrong with the Republican Party these days and it makes me want to not vote for them because I know this dolt will become the Speaker of the House if the Republicans win this November.
Politics is the socialization of conflict. At least, that’s the best definition I’ve come across so far. In essence, you have a group of people who are talking out their issues in dealing with governance rather than fighting it out like they do in the Third World or at a vacation home that my parents-in-law are staying at (make friends with the local police as you enter that quaint vacation town is my advice). But Boehner doesn’t seem to realize this simple fact about the nature of politics.
Here’s a message to Boehner and others of his ilk: you are at war with the Democrats. They are not your friends, they are not your drinking buddies (Ted Kennedy is long dead now), and they pull no punches. Sure, you aren’t using soldiers to fight this war, they’re reserved for Third World hellholes that have no bearing on national security, but you are fighting a war against an opponent who does have different ideas.
At least that is the impression that you attempt to give us. You Republicans keep on saying that you’re different from the Democrats and that’s why we should vote for you. Yet at every turn it seems to me that we find you compromising with them rather than simply opposing them. You use excuses like Congressional deadlock and government shutdown. But honestly, maybe that’s we all want this time around. Maybe we’re all just sick your ilk letting the State grow bigger and bigger while making pathetic excuses.
As Ayn Rand once wrote, “In any collaboration between two men (or groups) who hold different basic principles, it is the more evil or irrational one who wins.” In other words, if you continually capitulate and compromise with the Leftist Statists that run the Democrat(ick) Party, you will continually lose to them.
Of course, if that’s what you want, then I guess you’ll get your wish. It seems to me that the Republicans are led by a bunch of hypocrites who desire power more than principled government. They enjoy the perks of being in power and neglect the will of the people.
Which is probably why Boehner and others of his ilk said that they won’t repeal the Healthcare Bill inspired by a crazed Mormon Republican with a flashy hairstyle and a tongue designed to lick ass. I guess this means that the Republican leaders are nothing more than Statists, something I have known now for several years, and something that many people are coming to grips with.
There are still many conservative Republican Party loyalists out there and to them I say this: you’re all fools who can’t see the forest for the trees. The Republican Party hates you and would rather you not raise such a ruckus. Stop apologizing for them and start rejecting them. Vote for the best liberty-minded candidate and if none is found, then write your own name in. At least you’ll have a clear sense of conviction afterwards.
