Nathan Tabor
I know you’re busy earning a living…chauffeuring your kids to soccer practice…fixing the leaking faucet in your bathroom. And I know that it’s not that you don’t care—but that you care so deeply that it’s hard for you to even think about what’s been going on in this country this week—it’s just so painful.
But, if you’re a conservative, I think you’ll need to park the mini-van long enough to call up your local talk radio talk show and vent. After all, you deserve it, since it’s your hard-earned dollars that are paying the salaries of the designer-suited politicos who not only want to take the aforementioned hard-earned money away from you, but destroy all the values you hold dear in the process.
Here’s what the past week of liberal Democratic control of Congress has done for our nation:
Democrats summarily dismissed the President’s new strategy for Iraq. Openly. Publicly. Enthusiastically. We are in the midst of a hard-fought war that is putting our sons’ and daughters’ lives on the line. We owe it to them to support them in the field. Yet, Democrats—and when did Nancy Pelosi go to War College?--claim the President’s plan is unworkable. Yet, they have no plan of their own.
Democrats attempted to embarrass the President and portray him as being out of touch with the American public by forcing a vote on a federal funding plan for embryonic stem cell research that he had promised to veto. Embryonic stem cell research has resulted in zero successful treatments. That’s why its backers are so determined to get federal funding, because private investors aren’t willing to put their money in it. Instead, they’re funding the proven, ethically sound research known as adult stem cell research.
Pelosi’s 100 Days campaign is just more Democratic propaganda. The aim is not to advance this nation diplomatically, strategically, or scientifically. It’s all just an effort to see how much Dems can get away with once they’re in power.
As a fellow conservative, I don’t blame you if you’re fed up with scandal, corruption, and political gamesmanship in Washington. So am I. But if you care about this country’s future…and the future of your grandchildren…you’ll take action now.
