Hello and welcome to whomever of you may be gazing at my little blog today. And I would also like to extend a very special "Good Morning" to a fine old group of fellows out there. Good Morning Republican party. Good morning General Powell, Senator McCain, Mr. Steel, Senator Ridge, and the rest of you who have expressed reservations about being too critical of Judge Sotomayor for the position of Supreme Court Justice. We appreciate the service, the time, the effort you have given your grand old party. Now, if you will please open and read the letters you have just been handed we would greatly appreciate that. Please don't feel too badly.  It's simply that your services are no longer needed.  Please walk single file as you exit the stage, you will find transportation outside ready to take you permanently back to your private civilian lives. When, as a political party of alleged moral principle and opposition to the spread of the structural disease known as liberalism, it becomes a debate as to whether a debate should be made against the rise to power in the highest unchallengeable lifetime appointment in government a person whose proven rhetoric and body of work represents the antithesis of our foundational freedoms, it is time to clean out the house. When, as a political party founded on preservation of the essential moral and structural framework of the documents which gave rise to independence and freedom and self determination for our nation, the party itself can no longer see the enemy for who it is, it is time to clean out the house. It's so very plain that Liberals and those who call themselves "progressives" want to destroy the Republican party, it rather goes without saying. It's so crystal clear that Powell and the other self proclaimed moderates are the tools being used by enemies of Conservatism for that end. To listen to the lies... the perverse lies... from those who seek to destroy Republicans and more precisely destroy Conservatives... that they are trying to "SAVE" the Republican party is an insult that cuts to the heart of anyone with a scrap or more of intellect. And the thing is , we all know that this is what it's all about. The left wing media knows it, the liberal analysts know it, and the moderates know it. And yet we are treated to this fantasy theater of the likes of Powell clomping around on a media stage like pinnocchio, a useful idiotic puppet of the people who want to destroy the Republicans and he is a willing and happy mouthpiece for them. He sits there like a vetriloquist's dummy mouthing the words of the liberals who hate Republicans and want to dilute Conservatives out of existence as a power, which of course will put the final nail in the Republican coffin. Either Powell and his fantasy-weavers have an Obama-Complex and want to be lead by a Republican version of Obama, in which case if they succeed there is no more Party, or they are happily working to destroy the party principles that they desperately hate and their satisfaction will come from taking it down into the final flames of Hell where it appears is the only fire hot enough in their minds to purge the party of the sin of Conservatism.
 
With regard to recent dangerous actions of North Korea, just a thought... what if... China is using North Korea as a cover to test their own nuclear weapons technology? Given the provocative and radical nature of North Korea's leader why not let him be the front man and scapegoat for testing tht China wants to do? I'm not sure of that, it's just something that occurred to me as I was considering the situation. Anyway, the question I'm looking to have answered is will the Republicans come up with the right response, regardless of whether Obama will implement it. Republicans , according to liberals... ( and of course if we follow the "moderate approach" we must always view Republicans through the liberal lens..., ), are war mongering nuts. So, if Republicans as a party follow suit with Powell leading the way, they will want to "sit down" and "talk" with Kim Jong-il and try to convince him that this is a bad thing he's doing, like some sort of political version of the Jehovah's Witness but without the moral conviction of their beliefs. Instead of being strong on foreign policy and defense which is , or was..., something Republicans had a lock on..., they will kowtow to the pied piper of liberalism beause those Republicans who gaze through the liberal lens see their opportunity as being right now... with the election of Obama being thier proof that "they" are the type of leaders the country really wants. The right approach is to lead... lead the way by laying down the law, not talking but ordering North Korea to immediately cease or face immediate response. We CAN'T just sit here like a bunch of blithering dolts while that little pig Jong-il makes a mockery of US power. Faliure to bring the North Korean government under control, to allow them to mock us, is going to undermine the war on terror, and further deteriorate our effectiveness and image around the world. For God's sake..., our ALLIES are in the line of their fire. We need to have a US Navy battleship off the coast of North Korea and start doing some "test" firings of its cannons in the general direction of North Korea.
