Brushfire of Freedom
The Irritable Pundit
I can not possibly tell you how much I loathe, abhor and in all ways possible dislike Lindsey Graham and the rest of the RINO squishies, such as McCain, Snowe, and even Romney (yeah, I went there). They have told us, over and over, that we can't fight the Democrats. We have to give in, compromise and just accept what we can get. They say we can't fight health care reform, so just offer our version of the same. We can't fight global warming legislation, so let's come up with our own. We can't, we can't we can't... it gets old listening to this nonsense.
They are not Republicans, they are Republican'ts. And I am sick of them all.
The problem is, those get-along/go-along ideas went out of vogue in the 70's & 80's. No one today wants "Democrat light" ideas. These are polyester suited, wide lapel, spinning glitterball thoughts. They are the definition of passé, but the get-along crowd is back again and wants a great big tent full of their old losing ideas. Well, big or small, that tent is reeking with noxious smoke machines and Bee Gees B-sides sung just enough out of key to make my dog howl in pain.
Is anyone paying attention to the political landscape? Outside, the leaves fall like Congressional satisfaction polls onto the frost-covered ground of our frozen economy. We are seeing first hand how poorly liberal ideas actually work, so why are we trying to duplicate them? Didn't we just lost the last round playing this get-along game with John McCain, even though he was loved by all the best people (the media)? In spite of his epic fail, we are supposed to trust them anyway and do it all over again. We should just put on our platform boots and again follow the "disco-wizards of smart" into their canvas-covered 80's party. Ladies and gentlemen, this is "The Winter of our Disco Tent" (sorry, couldn't help it.)
No.
I refuse. I will not go along. I will not vote for a RINO. I will not pretend Disco Duck is a good song or that any man looks good dancing in roller skates (shudder). I will never again listen to John McCain sing KC and the Sunshine band's "I'm Your Boogie Man". Though I admit that I wouldn't mind seeing Meghan McCain (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake her Booty. Did you see her Facebook pictures? (check out the Oct 19 post at http://jimtreacher.com ) Get down tonight! Seriously! Keep It Comin' Love! That's the Way (Uh huh uh huh) I Like It! Wait what? I was just kidding! Hang on Megs! Please Don't Go! (10 points for anyone old enough to count the number of of KC song references, bonus 5 points if you can sing the hook for each of them.)
Seriously folks, how many times do we have to lose to this soundtrack? Disco is dead, Rock killed it forever!
We went down this lame path before, back in the 70's & 80's, and got nowhere until Reagan brought Heavy Metal into the picture and made those guys run to the hills (greatest Iron Maiden song of all time). Can you remember the mayhem? Can you remember the blue-blood Republicans of that era reacting to Reagan even more negatively than the left? Sound familiar? It certainly does to me. Such things are oddly cyclical folks.
Now, as then, all it ever takes is one serious hard rock song coming over the radio to shake things up. People recognize the truth in a good conservative ideal, just as people just instinctively recognize the truth of a good rock riff. Who can deny the power of the opening bars where the song is promising to absolutely ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF? Come on people, you would love to feel that again! Now wouldn't you?
