Conservatives, Regroup to Defend Rush and Talk Radio

When I was in business, I owned one of several retail locations in a 50-50 partnership with another person. There were seven locations in total that I owned and managed as a single business, and it was my only occupation. The business partner referenced above became unhappy with results that we were getting during a recession and needed cash for his own reasons. He named a price he wanted me to pay to buy him out, and I refused. He then began to enter the location at various times and make trouble, vilifying employees and making changes that were destructive. He knew that I was a reasonable and responsible person who would try to straighten things out, and would soon decide to meet his price. He was right, and I did.

The reason this memory comes back to me now has to do with the calls that Republicans and conservatives are getting to put differences aside and be helpful to the incoming Obama administration. After seven years of vilifying President Bush and even calling for his assassination, after the most disgusting campaign of sliming and smearing Sarah Palin ever seen in presidential politics, now the left is calling for reasonable behavior? The only reasonable behavior that makes sense to me is to rebuild the conservative movement and fight the socialists and America-haters with every means available.

The first place to start is to try to ensure that Obama is not able to go forward with his plans to “establish a civilian defense force as large and well-funded as the present military”. This smacks way too much of Hitler’s ‘brown shirts’ and the analogy and the intention should be easy for everyone to understand.

The second place to start is to gear up to defeat the attempt to reimpose the “Fairness Doctrine”. The very next day after the election, Senator Schumer appeared on television to announce that the time had come to reconsider the “Fairness Doctrine”. Since the left relies on lies, smears and intimidation to win the day, destroying the business model of Rush Limbaugh and other talk radio hosts has a high priority on their agenda.

I have also noticed that a liberal is a liberal whether they call themselves Democrat or Republican. I am referring to the lies and smears now coming from some members of the McCain campaign staff regarding Sarah Palin. Governor Palin was the only good thing to come out of this campaign, and liberals on both sides of the aisle fear her and want to destroy her. It’s not going to happen.

Bush Warns of Vulnerability in a Transition

November 7, 2008 New York Times (Excerpt)

"“For the next 75 days, all of us must ensure that the next president and his team can hit the ground running,” Mr. Bush said in an emotional speech to hundreds of employees of the executive branch on the South Lawn of the White House. He urged them to “conduct yourselves with the decency and professionalism that you have shown throughout my time in office.”

Mr. Bush has said he is determined to conduct an orderly transition. The White House wants to avoid a repeat of the kind of news reports that plagued President Bill Clinton when he left office amid questions about whether members of his staff, irked at having to turn their offices over to Republicans, removed the letter W from some computer keyboards."

We also remember all the other acts of vandalism, theft and pettiness left behind by the departing Clinton staff.
