Robert Ringer, the author of the below article, is right on. I, for one, am

sick of hearing and seeing Graham and McCain speaking on behalf of the

Republican Party. McCain needs to retire! Graham needs to be beaten and get

a real conservative Republican in office. Graham does not speak for any

Republican that I know! If Graham cannot be beaten then he should at least

have the decency to switch to the Democrat party. Graham is one big joke!

Lindsey Graham to the Rescue

By Robert Ringer

If you’ve ever wondered how the Republican Party lost its way, some of

Senator Lindsey Graham’s recent comments should help you to understand.

Graham is part of a clique of progressive Republicans who for decades have

been pressuring party members to become Democratic look-alikes.

When I say clique, I am referring to political lifers like John McCain,

Orrin Hatch, and Arlen Specter (who finally had the decency to bolt to the

Democratic side of the aisle when he admitted that his Republican

constituency was likely to throw him out of office in 2010). All were bosom

buddies of Teddy the Lion – and remain pals with hard-left Democrats who are

still among the living.

From an intellectual standpoint, about the only difference between Lindsey

Graham and Lindsay Lohan is the way they spell their first names, as

evidenced by some of Graham’s recent comments. Of Glenn Beck, who today is

the single most powerful force representing the tyrannized majority in

America, he said, “Only in America can you make that much money crying.”

You would think that a purported conservative like Graham (you have my

permission to chuckle on that one) would be cheering Glenn Beck on, but the

truth is that Beck is a huge threat to the cozy partnership that many closet

progressives in the Republican Party have with their buddies across the

aisle. When they dine together in their plush congressional dining rooms,

there is a corruptive stench that permeates the air. Having become

accustomed to such a luxurious lifestyle over the decades, many Republicans

view anyone to the right of Hugo Chavez as a threat.

Graham went on to say that Beck is “not aligned with any party as far as I

can tell. He’s aligned with cynicism. And there’s always been a market for

cynicism. But we became a great nation not because we are a nation of

cynics. We became a great nation because we are a nation of believers.”

Beck should be flattered, because cynicism is a good thing – especially when

it comes to government. I like to refer to myself as a “positive cynic.”

Experience has taught me that a bit of skepticism is healthy, but once I

know the facts, I always believe that I can work things out.

Belief in coworkers who have proven themselves to be competent and

trustworthy is a good thing. Belief in your family is a good thing. Belief

in your own abilities is a good thing. There’s no question about it, when

you have factual or experience evidence to back it up, belief is a positive

attribute.

But believing in verbal gibberish and cheerleading that is camouflaged as

news, believing in empty slogans, and, above all, believing in politicians

is precisely what has gotten our nation into trouble. Graham is right – we

are a nation of believers. Unfortunately, we believe so easily that we take

seriously scoundrels and charlatans who continually tell us the tallest of

tales. It’s a habit we must break if we are to win the liberty revolution

that is now heating up.

Now, please don’t get the idea that Senator Graham is critical of everybody.

No sir, not this super-civil Republican mainstay. In the same interview, he

praised BHO for energizing young people and reaching out to Hispanic voters,

and made it a point to chastise Republicans whom he believes alienated

voters with anti-immigration “rhetoric” in the last election.

But Graham saved the best for last when he said that BHO had passed the

“ready to be commander-in-chief test” during the debates. No question about

it, the Duplicitous Despot has certainly been a great commander-in-chief -

not quite as good as Jimmy Carter, but, hey, what do you expect of a Marxist

who’s main experience is that of a community organizer?

Never one to quit on a winning note, Senator Graham added that he believes

“There [are] people in this country that [sic] are having a hard time

reconciling the fact that we have a black president,” he acknowledged.”

Really? And here I thought that a majority of white voters actually voted

for BHO. Hmm … is it possible that their discontent could have something

to do with his performance?

Finally, said Graham, “Do I want some of his policies to fail? You better

believe it. Do I want him to fail? No. Because he’s my commander-in-chief.”

Touching … really touching. Earth to Lindsey: If BHO’s policies fail, he

fails. Have you ever heard of a successful president whose policies failed?

If you still wonder why the Republican Party is on the verge of extinction,

it’s because the progressive element is so deeply entrenched in its ranks

that it no longer appeals to the majority of Americans – whose values are

conservative! If Republicans ever regain power and the progressives among

them get their way, a new liberty-based party had better be prepared to step

in and challenge the Dems, or all may be lost.

Put another way, the marketplace for freedom is now wide open for anyone

with the creativity and tenacity to create a new political party that the

majority of Americans can call home.
