Captain Obvious Strikes Again

When was it that we lost sight of things that used to be bywords of conservatism? When did the so-called Conservatives in this country start chanting the Liberal mantras instead of standing firm for the values that shaped Conservatism in the first place? How many times in our lives have we heard the saying that

He who stands for nothing will fall for anything.

Our leaders have stopped standing for anything, and the words that emanate from their lips would sound more at home in Hollywood than in any bastion of Conservatism.

We are facing serious problems in the coming years, our baby boomers are beginning to retire, there is recession looming on the horizon, we have soldiers in harm’s way in Afghanistan and Iraq and we have so-called Conservatives spouting rhetoric bemoaning our need for change who offer us nothing concrete that they will do, we don’t know what they stand for (if anything) and somehow we are supposed to be able to differentiate them from the Liberal Democrats they are running against..

So far, there are only two candidates who seem to rise above this miasma, they are Duncan Lee Hunter, and Fred Dalton Thompson. Both of these men have demonstrated a commitment to strong Conservative values and are willing to tell people who they are, and what they stand for leaving it up to the people to decide whether they want to elect someone who shares their values, or someone who will shift with the winds of discontent.

Both of these men deserve a good look, the decision is yours, for the sake of our nation, don’t screw it up!
