A Message for Liberals: No Surrender

As a conservative and a patriot my message for liberals is simple – we get it. You hate us, and some of you hate America. When Lyndon Johnson ran the “Daisy” ad suggesting a vote for Goldwater was a vote for a nuclear war, we didn’t get it. When you usurped the foreign affairs’ powers of the president with the Boland Amendment, we didn’t get it. When you smeared Col. Ollie North and tried to convict him of a crime, we didn’t get it. When you hunted through Judge Bork’s garbage and tried to smear him using receipts of his videotape rentals we didn’t get it. When you attempted to destroy Secretary Weinberger (you had already destroyed Senator Tower and Secretary Donovan), we didn’t get it. When you persuaded Anita Hill to lie under oath to smear Justice Thomas, we did start to get it. “IT” being the fact that you are willing to do anything and say anything to win – that there are no rules you follow except to destroy anyone who stands in the way of your need for power. We get it.

We got it when you ran the Texas ad showing the black man being dragged along behind the pickup truck indicating that this was George Bush’s doing; yes, we got it. When you sent Joe Wilson out to lie and undermine the president at a critical time, we got it. When you changed your mind about the vote you cast to remove Saddam and started the campaign that “Bush Lied”, we got it. When you brought tears to Chief Justice Roberts’ wife because of your smears, we got it, and we fought back.

Now that you are pulling out all the stops to smear Sarah Palin and her family, not only do we get it, but we are fighting back hard. You can say that she caused Trig’s malady; you can say she’s really Trig’s grandmother; you can attack her teenage daughter; you can claim that she lies; you can lie about her record and her character; you can lie about her accomplishments and the quality of her experience. Go right ahead; we get it, we are fighting back, and we have the advantage that your candidate for president is in his first term in the U.S. Senate, and has spent most of his senate time running for president. Our VICE presidential candidate has executive experience, and your PRESIDENTIAL candidate has none. Oh, and by the way, has anyone told you that the presidency is an EXECUTIVE position?

My conservative friends not only get it, but they tell me that they are perfectly willing to get down in the sewers you inhabit to fight you and stop you, and follow the rules you have set if we have to. We have learned in the War on Terrorism and in previous wars that you sometimes have to fight dirty to defeat dirty fighters who cut peoples’ heads off and send children with bombs, and you are certainly dirty fighters.
