A Call to Action


As to wishing the new President well (a sentiment invariably followed with the inane shibboleth “after all, we all want our country to succeed”), personally, I don’t wish the new President well in the slightest. And, no -- just like tens of millions of other true-blue conservatives -- I don’t want our country to succeed in the direction in which he has made it abundantly clear he wants to take us.

You see, I think Barack Obama is a socialist. I think that his much-ballyhooed plans to hire 600,000 new bureaucrats (for such vital endeavors as changing light bulbs in government buildings) is absurd. Particularly when it’s coupled with his announcement that the federal government already plans to run up trillion-dollar deficits from here to eternity.

And I think his maniacal obsession with redistributing the wealth by raising taxes on the rich (who, by his increasingly erratic definition includes anyone who works hard and brings home a paycheck) in order to reward society’s dregs and drones is insulting, insane, and in his case particularly puerile.

This entire riveting piece is available at Americans for Limited Government.

It is time for conservatives to tell the truth, to fight back, to hit hard, and to let the American people know we will not back down from our principles.

The Republican leadership has failed to do this. Some of us out here are willing to step up to the plate and do what the GOP failed to do.

It is time our voices were heard. We may have to keep screaming until they are.
