I think that I have
heard about as much as I can stand about the Mark Foley situation. The
Democrats have found themselves a bone to run with, right through the
elections. They can take a sigh of relief because now, they have the
smokescreen to keep from addressing the real issues facing America. I can see
them dancing in the halls of the Capitol.
I must first state
that Nancy Pelosi is the biggest hypocrite on Capitol Hill. It is absolutely
incredulous how she was spouting her trash about caring for the children. If it
wasn’t so laughable and one didn’t know better about her track record, it would
almost be credible.
Pelosi, if I am not
mistaken, threw all her support behind another gentlemen in congress some time
ago,that did more than send inappropriate emails to a teenager. He in fact had
a sexual relationship with the teen and went on to be promoted and supported by
not only Pelosi, but others in the party. Some people need to look more closely
at the person staring back at them in their mirrors daily.
While the Democrats
are caring so much for the welfare of the children in our nation, why is it
that the public school districts are in such deplorable condition? After all,
the Democrats have so much control and influence over these inner city areas.
I feel that I must
rebuke some of my fellow Republicans in the country as well. Some are talking
about punishing the party because of Foley’s antics and voting for the
Democrats, to teach them a lesson. I say that this is unbelievably
irresponsible and childish. Not only would the person be mistreating his sacred
vote, he would be neglecting the belief systems associated with being a
conservative.
What the Republican Party stands for has to be the center of
how we cast our votes. It goes to the core of who we are as people and the
things that we stand for which brought us to the Party. As human beings, we are
all fallible, but the entire conservative movement should not pay the price.
Let’s take a look at
what’s at stake in the United States and determine if the Democrats should be
in charge. What does the Democratic Party stand for? We have a couple of
Supreme Court positions that may be ahead for the President to fill. Democrats
would support the far left agenda. This agenda supports amnesty for illegal
aliens, to cross our borders, steal American jobs, and enjoy the benefits of
citizenry without having to assimilate our culture and values. The left agenda
supports continuing to murder unborn children no matter what stage of
development the child is, right up to the point of passing through the birth
canal. The left wants to “cut and run” from our enemies and play the
appeasement game as Nancy Pelosi confirmed in a recent speech. They would
change the makeup of the family as we all know It, by allowing marriage to be
redefined to fit whatever feels good and suits the individual. Most urgent, in
my opinion, is that the left would support and give free reign to “Satan’s
Crafty Minions” over at the ACLU. If the ACLU has it way, there will be no hint
of God in our nation. The Judeo-Christian values our nation was founded upon
would disappear forever.
Bill O’Reilly’s book
“Culture Warrior.” is a must read for every conservative. He states the
struggle we are in better than I could ever hope to. It puts the fear of God
into one’s soul to see how the liberal agenda, or as the liberals now like to
refer to themselves as “progressives,” is seeking to destroy the very fabric of
what we hold dear.
I don’t know if I
am angrier or have more pity toward Mark Foley for what he has done. He has put
the conservative movement at risk, along with anyone else that may prove to
have covered up his improprieties. I am
sure that he doesn’t need any more condemnation from me. If you can imagine for
just one minute what it must be like to be in his shoes right now. He is a
disgraced politician that may be facing criminal charges. He may be the sole
cause of the Republicans losing the majority in congress. Then there is his
personal life, with loved ones, associates, etc. Sometimes, the personal fall
out from one’s actions is the worse punishment that can be exacted on the
person. So, I think it is c he should seek help. First, by taking off the
blinders and seeing that his professed alcohol problem is a separate issue from
what truly plagues him. It makes it easy for his other demons to come forth.
Mr. Foley has my prayers not my approval. We would all do well to remember that
we don’t have to love the sin but love the sinner after, all that is what we
all are in one way or another.
I pray that the
urgency of this message gets through to the conservative base and they get out
there in November to protect our nation at the polls. If I have to listen to
Nancy Pelosi at the podium as House Leader, I may have to leave the country until
the travesty passes.
