A Summer of Discontent?

Today, former General Weasel(?) Clark afforded us his brilliance on the subject of Senator John McCain's fitness to lead this country's military as it's Commander In Chief. So much for the brightness of this faded star. So much for my willingness to sit back, and cede this election to the boy wonder from Chicago. The often times detestable Senator McCain doesn't deserve my vote, but he will get it none the less. Along the way, I will fight his intransigence on matters such as global warming, immigration reform, and certain populist notions concerning his "crossing the aisle" to work with Liberal Socialists and Marxists. Oh, and did I mention the contrived energy crisis as well?

Being a Conservative is not an easy task, for it seems Conservatism has always to assert itself front and center. Make no mistake, John McCain is not a Conservative, nor is President George Bush. It is a shame, because The President, and John McCain, as he will soon see, do not share the views you and I hold dearest. This is a major reason why President Bush finds himself much the lonely man these days. If only he had the understanding, and the courage to lead the Conservative movement. Had he done so, his journey would have been a surer, and a more rewarding travel toward posterity. This much these two men have in common. They allow others to define them individually, and their imprints on the fabric of America will be like so many unseen fingerprints. From their positions of leadership, they could, and could have, taken this country further down the road to instant credibility, and world wide respect. Ronald Reagan's Shining City Upon The Hill has certainly lost a bit of it's former luster. That is not a tribute I could easily wear. Apparently, these two men are in it for themselves alone, and have forgotten the passengers who boarded the bus a while back.

Meanwhile, this is why it becomes even more critical that those who will survive our unwillingness to lead, be taught that the America of the Founders is constantly under attack by Liberal forces both within and without. I am doing my part, are you doing yours?

And now, back to the education of the children who hopefully, will save us from ourselves, and in the process, save America herself.
