We on the right don’t thirst for war, but we do step up to defend the country when we are attacked. Progressives, have you forgotten 9-11 – that clear blue sky day?

Also, tell me do you really want the same people that run the DMV to be qualified to run health care? Do you really want to go to one window to get a number, and then when you get there they send you to another line like the DMV? I should hope not. Do you really want a waiting list for getting health care like in the old Soviet Empire, Candida or Europe? I know Progressives like to talk about the bus of seniors that go to Candida, but you never seem to hear about the bus from Candida that brings seniors to America to have surgery done here, because in Candida they’d be dead by the time their number came up in line.

Environmental policy – do you know it was President Nixon (you know the guy you say was a worse President then Clinton) who established the EPA? It was Republican Teddy Roosevelt who gave us National Parks. It was Republicans who ended segregation. It took a Republican President to end slavery. It took a Republican to end the Cold War and send Communism to the Ash heap of History. It was Republicans who led the effort that routed out Communist-backed government in Nicaragua, and Communist insurgents in El Salvador, Angola, Lebanon, Granada, South Korea and Greece. It was a Republican President who drove Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. It was a Republican President who stood up to the tyrant of the Middle East, Muammar Gaddafi. It was a Republican President who extended the hand of friendship to the new democracies of Eastern Europe and former Soviet Occupied territories. It was a Republican who pushed for the Balance Budget Amendment. It is Republicans who support Tort Reform. It is Republicans who want to fix Social Security. It is Republicans who want to cut the Federal Gas tax, and it is the Democrats that want to give NO RELIEF TO AMERICANS from high gas prices.

That’s what you get with Republican Leadership!

President Carter sat back idle while our allies in Iran the Shah were overthrown, which gave us Islamic Militants. Hence, as a result, we have the War on Terror today against al Qaeda – it was President Carter who gave us that. Oh, but wait, there is more – Jimmy Carter did nothing while Poe Pot butchered his people. Think that was bad enough? President Carter gave away the Panama Canal. I suppose we should be thankful he didn’t give Alaska back to the Soviet Empire.

Let’s look at the highest of all progressives – he gave us things like Social Security and Medicare, he gave away Eastern Europe to suffer under the heel of the Soviet Empire for 50 years. Can you guess who this brilliant leader is that the Progressives worship? Any idea? Yep, that’s right, none other then Franklyn Roosevelt – the guy who did nothing while the NAZI were on the march in Europe.

President Truman, who allowed for continued communist expansion in Eastern Europe and who gave the Communists their first victory on the Korean Peninsula by firing Gen. McArthur. It was President Johnson who fabricated the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Now that was a President who dummied up facts to expand his war. It was Clinton who fell asleep at the wheel when terrorists were plotting to kill Americans. It was Clinton who never took Osama bin Laden when he was offered by the government of Sudan. It was Clinton who did nothing in the Congo.

So you see, I will take Republican leadership over Democrat bungling any day of the week. Similar Progressives have opposed anything that smacks of out-of-the-box thinking, like School Choice, Vouchers, Tort Reform, Balance Budget Amendment, Right to Work laws, a move towards Nuclear Power, drilling in ANWR, building new refineries and many other innovative new ideas. The Republican Party is the only party that gives real new ideas, as opposed to just retreading old failed policies of the left.

As for minorities in the GOP, well frankly we have more minorities in the GOP than the Democrat party since we allow our minorities to have a place at the table instead of Democrats who use them like a tool. When they need the tool, they go to the wood shed for that tool. With the Democratic Party, if you are a minority you are still at the back of the bus, as opposed to the Republican Party, who let you ride in first class.
