WAKE UP! OK, those are not the words I have in mind, but that is the effect I want them to have.
Yes, I am talking to you Mr/Mrs/Ms (small 'c') conservative Elected Official. It is time time to get busy and save our country before there is nothing left to save. Everyday Americans with conservative values have been screaming this for the last decade plus.
We started when you became more concerned with a sitting President undermining an interne's virtue than his undermining our National security. We started when you threw your commitment to fiscal responsibility overboard to placate Democrats chiding you for not “working with” them.
For all our efforts – the letters, the phone calls, the personal visits to your offices – all we accomplished was repudiation by you so called leaders for not wanting to work in a spirit of bi-partisanship. So, we held our tongues and let you try it your way. Shame on us. You were steamrolled by the Liberals and Democrats in Congress, and yet still believe there is a chance for bi-partisanship to work. Shame on you.
Well, there is no such thing as bi-partisanship when dealing with the current crop of Democrats you helped place in power by your inaction. The re-write of the House rules to exclude your input should be enough to convince you of that. So, get up and start leading us – or following us if you prefer – just so long as you get out of our way.
About those two words. The two words that should finally light a fire under your collectively inert backsides if nothing else will. Those two words that tell all you ever need to know about bi-partisanship. The two words that came from a most unlikely source for mobilizing conservatives.
Straight from the mouth of Barack Hussein Obama.
