It saddens me that a once proud Conservative blog, Little Green Footballs, has gone RINO (Republican In Name Only). They have taken sides opposite our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton to name a few.
Why do I say this?
Well, a man named Jim Robinson decided to exercise his free speech rights and they have lost their noodles over it. Jim Robinson is the founder of FreeRepublic, a Conservative grassroots website dedicated to Conservatism. In a post he made, he called for the peaceful revolution, the replacing of the morons who are currently destroying this great nation. He, Jim Robinson, quoted one our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, for his justification for removing an abusive government. Now no one, who has any intelligence, can deny that this government is abusive of its power. The government has taken over, nationalized, GM and Chrysler. The government is now woanting to tax energy to the point that we will be taking steps backwards to the stone age. The government is trying to nationalize 17% of the US economy in the form of forced health care on the masses. This government, and the ones before it, have driven us to the point of where we give more to them in taxes than we keep for ourselves. Our founding fathers would not have stood for us things as long as we have today. What did they do about it? Well history tells us that they shook off that oppressive abusive government and instituted a new one, safe guarding liberties and freedom.
Thomas Jefferson said it best when he said:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Those are powerful words. Thomas Jefferson said quite a lot of powerful words. He is probably the most often quoted founding father because of his intelligence, his love of liberty and freedom, and his passion for those ideals.
So Jim Robinson posted If we could get millions of Americans to march on Washington, what would we do? and the mainstream media, leftists, socialists, communists, and RINOs have done off the deep end like slugs covered in salt. Why? Because they realize that if Americans compare what is happening to us now with what Britain did to the colonies, that their gravy train days are over.
So how do the RINOs at Little Green Footballs respond? They blame Conservatism itself! In a blog entitled Why Conservatism Sucks Right Now Rick Moran states:
The problem with all of this isn’t that the guy is a loon whose understanding of what America is all about is that of a 6 year old. The problem is in the comments to this post, as well as comments I’ve seen on just about every big conservative blog out there that support and mimic these extraordinarily idiotic and laughably exaggerated claims of what the government has been doing since Obama took office and how these actions affect our personal liberty.
There will always be a certain portion of both the right and left who are basically nuts. The hysterically exaggerated dangers of a Bush putsch were written about endlessly by the left for 8 years. Now it’s time for righty crazies to crawl out from under the rocks and dark places where they’ve been hiding to make conservatism look like an ideal home for kooks, paranoids, and other unbalanced denizens who inhabit a creepy reality of their own making that bears little resemblance to the real world.
What a total ass. So, in his mind, Obama and the Democrat majority are doing fine. I guess, according to Rick, the government isn’t working on taking our liberties and freedoms. I guess that the health care bill now before the House calls for forcing people to buy health insurance or pay 2.5% of their wages in a penalty is not a government takeover, after all, they have our best interests at heart. I also guess that the new taxes, that will take some citizens of some states, beyond the 50% of their wages going to government is ok, since government knows best how to spend our money.
Our founding fathers began a revolution over a tiny percentage of taxes and abuses. We have taken far more than they ever did. We have become sheep. We have people voting who do not pay taxes but instead live off of other taxpayers for a career. Of course these parasites are going to continue to vote for those who keep the money coming into their pockets. These people will continue to support this government because if they don’t, the good times will end. It reminds me of a video I saw earlier, and blogged about earlier. A woman named Peggy Joseph stated that she would never have to worry about putting gas in her car or paying her mortgage because if she took care of Obama (with her vote) that he’d take care of her. Below is the video.
So I guess this mindset is ok with Rick Moran. I’m sure it’s ok with Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs too. His blog is titled Free Republic Found Calls for Revolution. It is just as asinine as Rick’s. In his post he hints that Jim Robinson is calling for a violent overthrow with the following line:
But don’t worry. Sure, he’s calling for a revolution, but it’s going to be non-violent. (Nudge nudge, wink wink.)
This moron sounds more like those socialists who support Obama than a Conservative. They are the ones who are calling Conservatives extremists, nut jobs, etc. Now we have a supposed Conservative following down their path. What is his pay off? Does he think that this will make the mainstream media fall in love with him? Is he stricken with John McCain disease? Does he think that maybe Meghan McCain will bear his children now that he is full of love of socialists?
Who cares about them now? They are faux Conservatives at best. They are more likely RINOs and closet socialists. Now is not the time to be in the middle, a moderate. In defense of liberty there can be no middle ground. You are either on the side of liberty or tyranny. There is no grey area. We either make our stand now or liberty and freedom as we once knew it, will be gone forever.
