One of the Best Rants I've Read in a While

From a comment on American Spectator's website to an article by W. James Antle III, associate editor. The article is entitled "Getting It Right The Next Time" and is about how Santorum, the conservative candidate fell short, marking another election that conservatives have failed to emerge on top in the GOP primaries. The last time that happened was 1980 with RWR. After reading the article I read some of the comments and ran across this one---a really good rant---one that I mostly agree with. I have done some editing due to this being a Christian forum.

T.L.P.| 4.11.12 @ 8:44AM

I don't understand Mr. Antlers Story.

Are you trying to say that, "Once again, Conservatives, and Conservatism was FOILED by the likes of Karl Rove and Jeb Bush"? That, it was DONE IN by the The Establishment Republicans from the Rockefeller Wing?

I disagree. I say that Conservatism Lost, because it didn't buy a ticket. As in The Lottery, one needs to "Be in it, to Win it". Or, in a different parlance: One needs a "Horse in the Race".

For anyone to claim that Newt Gingrich is a Conservative, they would have to have been buying Coke from the same guy that Obama used to get His from, for the last 20 Years. (Or, from Whitney Houston. I would have accepted either answer)

He's a "Global Warming Guy". That's him over there. Sitting on the sofa with his New Best Friend - San Fran LYING [woman of ill repute] - Nancy Pelosi. She's the Big Lib Botox Queen who suffers from Dementia, and owns all those Vineyards and Restaurants that don't hire UNION people. (Like all of the Hollywood Stars who Film in Canada, to avoid paying Union Scale.)

There he is (Gingrich), calling the Smartest Guy in D.C. - Paul Ryan - "A Republican Social Engineer".

Then there's Rick Santorum. He's a good man. A good Husband. And he seems to be a good Father. So am I. So's my Brother and my Neighbor. He was never gonna be the one. Like Al Gore, in 2000, he couldn't even win his own state.

Ron Paul? The only two guys on this site who like him, are a guy who writes in Ancient Cryptography About: Bunders? Israeli Firsters? Something About Lying Smearers. He's Got A "Bibi Gun", Or Something, And He Believes That There's A Tea Party Wherever He Happens To Be, That Day. And He Seems To Think That Every Word Starts With A Capitol Letter.

(Is there a Doctor in the house?)

The other one just HATES JEWS.

The reason Conservatism didn't win, was that NO CONSERVATIVES got in the race. I think that they thought that this guy, couldn't be beat. The 1st African American President. Everybody likes him. He's the 1st African American President.

Nobody ran. Nobody wanted to do the work. Paul Ryan. Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley, in South Carolina. Fat [Bottom]/Big Mouth, in New Jersey. The Cuban Kid with NOTHING on his Resume', in Florida.

The problem we have, as Conservatives, is that all of our best people are Brand New. They just got in. It's easy to see why a brand new Governor would choose to stay where He or She is. And we can't run someone just because they're Handsome, and can lock up the Cuban Vote in Little Havana. The road forward is clear: We need to set our differences aside, and come together as a Team. How many Professional Sports Teams have we known, whose Players Hated each other's Guts, but still managed to come together ON THE FIELD, and Win Championships?

The Marxist Muslim has to be defeated. If that means we don't get our 1st choice? Then so be it. We cannot survive 4 more years of this.

To the Governors of the States that have enacted Voter I.D. Laws, only to have those Laws ruled "Invalid" by a Lying, Thieving, Racist CROOK - Eric Holder - on Voting Rights Grounds, after he let Obama's Black Panther Buddies get off Scot-Free, on obvious Voting Rights Violations, I say this: Be the Gander. Do as the Goose does. Go forward with your I.D. Laws. How can an Administration that Spits on Court Orders for a living, and gives Get Outta Jail Free Cards to Radical Marxist Street Gangs who Violate the Voting Laws, on their behalf, win a Case against you in a Court of Law? This has already been through the Supreme Court, and even Super Lib - John Paul Stevens - ruled in favor of the state of Indiana's Voter I.D. Laws.

Do it.

This would force a Confrontation that would shine the light on who, and what these [people] really are, and how they operate outside of the Law.

It's time to pick a fight.

Re: One of the Best Rants I've Read in a While

Marxist Muslim?

Yeah, very appropriate description of our President for many conservatives, but not me.

Maybe it is a cunning way to strike that chord of "us" against "them" that was played when we our nation was attacked by a group of muslim terrorists. As a nation, we were united-- "us" against "them"-- remember those days? Maybe this is an attempt to tap into that nationalism again, but this time the "us" are conservatives and the "them" are our own countrymen who think differently then us.


So to refer to the President as a Muslim is a discredit to the President, or is it a discredit to Muslims, or is this our way to demonize a man who's church attendance for "20 years, I've read more than once" we also criticize?

Which one is he? A Muslim or a Christian?


What kind of love or even respect is garnered in the phrase, "Marxist Muslim?"
What kind of hate or simple disrespect is garnered in the phrase, "Marxist Muslim?"


His mother and maternal grandparents who raised him are white. The people closest to him and most instrumental in his campaign are white, yet some would have us believe that the President is racist.

Politics makes so much sense!

Re: One of the Best Rants I've Read in a While

Is the kind of Christianity preached by Jeremiah Wright Christianity? I don't believe BO is a Muslim. I dont agree with everything the guy had to say, that would be one of them. I do agree with what he has to say about the conservatives not getting into the game. I don't understand your defense of Obama, it defies logic. And there has not been any one person more divisive than this president. I have seen very little effort to promote unity and cohesion. He has governed very much bent on a radical agenda seeking to dramatically change the nature of America. He is a pure ideologue, a socialist and a disciple of some of the most extreme voices of the past century.

BHO is a radical socialist, who wants to change this country to follow the failed policies of European socialism.
I do believe, that like most politicians, the main god that he worships is himself.

Would you like to offer any proof of the bolded?

What did you think of the original Patriot Act as passed by our former GOP Congress and signed into law by our former Republican President?

Did the Patriot Act dramatically change the nature of America?

True. A man is known by the company he keeps.....Who Does President Obama associate himself with? It's certainly not Constitutionalists and Conservatives is it? More like Leftist Radicals and Socialists.

JD, have you been paying attention for the past 3 1/2 years?

It really, for the most part, was a good rant...

Re: One of the Best Rants I've Read in a While

Besides havign to deal with the headaches at airports...where has the Patriot Acts bothered or inconvenienced ANY of us?

Then remember that it has kept us free from any 9/11 follow up attack for over 10 years.
