Enjoyed reading Bob Higgins’ post today at Worldwide Sawdust. Bob writes that the effort to compromise with the Republicans is a mistake. He says, “The battle over the ‘stimulus bill’ and the oft expressed desire of our new president and many on the left of the aisle to be non, or bi, or post-partisan is something that I find disturbing, worse, I find it somewhat cowardly.”
Bob writes, “Tens, hundreds of thousands of people worked and fought, spoke and scraped up funds for Democratic victory through all the horrible years of the Bush debacle and they deserve Democratic leadership. They did not sign on to hear ‘If you give us a few more tuna sandwiches for the poor we’ll give you more tax deductions for the wealthy and federal subsidies for Foie gras and second homes‘ …. There are times when lines must be drawn, make that etched, in the sand and not crossed. This is such a time.”
Bob concludes his post, “So, fellow Dems, let’s quit pandering to those whose political philosophy is a proven threat to our country, our way of life and our rights and freedoms; as Jim Hightower says, ‘Ain’t nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos.’”
Amen.
Make those lines broad and bright.
With any luck, THIS TIME the Republicans will keep their hands clean of the dirt of liberalism that has been infecting our country, and leave that mess to the Democrat party.
Then, once we’re all in bread lines and suffering under Chairman Obama’s new Socialist Order, we’ll know exactly who to blame.
