Good Lord! It is amazing that House minority leader Nancy Pelosi ever got to where she is. I mean, this is one of the dimmest bulbs to ever be in a leadership position in American politics.
This past weekend, Nit Wit Nancy had this bit of wisdom to share with her Republican friends:
“To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors.”
Take back my party?!
Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.?
From who?
From people that actually believe in that funny ol' document known as the constitution? From people that yes, care about education. Care tremendously about economic growth. Very much care about our national defense. Care more than she will ever know about our civil liberties. And yes, want to treat our senior citizens with dignity and respect.
The difference is how we do those things. And what the consitution, that funny ol' document allows the federal government to do.
But let me get back to Nit Wit Nancy's assertion that there should be little if any difference between the Democrat and Republican parties.
Yes, there was a time that the Republican party was so emasculated that there was little if any difference between the two parties. That was basically throughout the 1960s. Oh sure, the Democrat left made former President Richard Nixon out to be Atilla the Hun. Yet it was Mr. Nixon that wanted socialized medicine in this nation. Mr. Nixon is the one that began the process to recognize Red China over the Republic of China on Taiwan. And, Mr. Nixon also instituted a Democrat dream. Wage and price controls. To many on the left, Richard Nixon was their kind of Republican. And appearantly, also Nit Wit Nancy's kind of Republican.
Then the left wanted all the glory and forced Mr. Nixon to resign over the Watergate scandal. And they got Gerald Ford, another Republican that Democrats liked. ARTDL. And Mr. Ford was a decent man (and a brother Mason). But, he was a lot like Mr. Nixon. A mush. Again, one that did not fight the growth of the Welfare State. Who continued the policy of detente with the then Soviet Union. Yeah, you get the picture.
Then came along some guy named Ronald Reagan. That eeeeevvviiiiilllll conservative Republican that was governor of California. And he challenged not just Mr. Ford for the Republican nomination in 1976 for the White House. But the whole establishment of the Republican party at that time. Though he did not win the nomination, Mr. Reagan set the stage to fundamentally change the Republican party. He was storming the country club. He was bringing along them there Roman Catholics. Almost as bad to the CC set, those, those D E M O C R A T S. You know, they became known as Reagan Democrats. And the rest was history.
This is a Republican party that has been at its best when the differences in policy is clear from the Democrats. It is the party that is championing lower taxes. Hell, many talk about real tax reform. Wanting to return many of the usurped welfare programs back to the states. Letting people make choices regarding their children's education. This is the party that people like Nit Wit Nancy fear.
And she should.
For it is that Republican party that whipped her and her fellow-travelling Democrats right out of control of the House of Representatives. Nearly control of the United States senate. And the majority of governorships in the United States. It is this Republican party that is carrying on the Reagan tradition. And this famous speech in 1977 before the Conservative Political Action Committee laid it out for all the world to see.
But poor Nit Wit Nancy. Poor lady that when she was the Speaker of the House thought of the Republican majority as not much more than gnats. Did not include them in any process what so ever. Rammed through the most expansion of government in most of our lifetimes. And never tried to get those Republicans that may have shared the Democrat values on board.
Now she thinks our party is just too extreme. That we somehow do not care about all of the above mentioned priorites. The fact is that we do. It is that we have a different way of getting there. And that is what is driving Nit Wit Nancy nuts. Nuts enough to say such a riduculous thing as elections should not matter.
