"Instead of being a party of 'no' the Republicans should negotiate with the Democrats."
"I just want to see all of our representatives, both democrats and republicans working together and doing their jobs."
"What the people really want to see is republicans and democrats hammering out their differences, negotiating and getting bills passed. That's what Congress is supposed to do."
I hear a lot of that kind of talk from pundits, the MSM (in general), politicians (mostly democrats but a few republicans as well), activists, some CEO's and even the occasional "man on the street" interview.
Sounds almost noble gettin' stuff done and all. But what kind of "stuff" would that be?
The stuff nightmares are made of that's what.
Stuff that runs on envy and causes divisions among us as a result.
Stuff that erodes and outright takes away our liberties, pursuit of happiness (property), and yes, even life.
Stuff that steals a persons livelyhood with the blessings of the State.
Stuff that coerces and forces Americans to do what the State tells them to do based on crank "science" or just plain in your face nannyism (fascism, totalitarianism, socialism, Obamunism, etc.) be it "green" energy, government bailouts (takeovers) or Obama"care" to name just a few.
Stuff that creates and gives more power to more 'rats (FCC, Czars, Comittees, etc.). The power to tell us Americans (and American businesses) what we can and cannot say, or do without representation.
Stuff that ignores our rights and our Constitution.
Stuff that uses our public schools and our great military as places to conduct social experiments that are detrimental to the mission of each.
Stuff that increases taxes often disguised by using other words such as various fees, "value" added tax, etc.
Stuff that increases prices by forcing businesses to incorporate draconian regulations overseen by (you guessed it) more 'rats.
Stuff that hurts and decreases jobs in the private sector.
Stuff that elevates "empathatic" judges over judges who seek justice.
Stuff that weakens national security and endangers our men and women in the military not to mention every American citizen at broad or here at home.
Stuff designed to help the Obamorg collective and hurt individual liberty.
Stuff designed to transform America from a bastion of liberty, a shining city on the hill to a dark ghetto of chain gangs.
And no matter what gang you may choose (if you decide to embrace these "burgeois ideals" democrats love so much) make no mistake, you will be wearing chains on that plantation.
I could go on and on with all the stuff these slimy politicians wanna "negotiate" over, but this covers the worst of it.
Do most Americans really want our representatives (and a growing army of non-representatives) negotiating for all this stuff?
Afterall, any sucessful negotiation only helps the democrats fulfill their agenda to do all this stuff to us, rather it be in little chunks or big chunks.
Should we thank politicians who negotiated for less oppression?
Ain't it still oppression?
Don't matter to me if it's to a lesser degree, BS is still BS regardless of the size of the pile our politicians want us to step in.
No thanks, either grow a pair and stand against anything that destroys our liberties or get the hell out.
This is why I want a GOP that not only is a party of "no" but a party of "hell no!"
Ideally I want the Democrats to do that too, but so far the mythical "Blue Dogs" appear to be extinct or retired (where are the Zell Millers?).
Anyway, let's take that further, I want my representatives to go one step further than "no" and also repeal all this crap the demorats have managed to force on us.
Every. Last. Turd!
Forget mad scientists, these politicians who wanna negotiate for this "stuff" are far more mad and far more scary because they wanna take what makes the United States of America unique away from us, and drive us into the bog of eternal stench. Slavery of every stripe stinks to high heaven and that's what this "stuff" is, the chains of slavery.
Oh that may not be their intent, but regardless of how good their intentions are that will be the result if they succeed. Even a novice of history like me can see that clearly.
The democrat agenda (ie the stuff they wanna do to us) is a cancer, a tumor inside our country. A Demotumor.
The bad news is it's growing and without treatment it's terminal.
My friends and fellow patriots, our United States is in great need of Demotherapy.
Yeah, it will hurt but it won't kill us like the Demotumor will, and we'll all feel much better after the treatments are over.
Thing is, it takes all of us to make the treatments work because this Demotumor is a particulary nasty strain.
The truth is like an antidieotic to this evil virus and we must all get innoculated with the truth.
At it's heart the Demotumor is envy. It produces a virulent bitterness in those it infects and a deep, dark hatred for anyone who loves liberty or who has more than they do.
It produces the same jealous mindset Cain had, and we all know how that turned out.
Thankfully, unlike Abel, we can see Cain coming, so we can prepare ourselves accordingly and prevent that ambush.
Our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Coast Guard is doin' their jobs, above and beyond the call of duty, to protect and defend our lives, liberties and property from outside cancers such as terrorists and a resurgent communism.
We can honor their sacrifices by having their backs and fightin' the enemies of life n' liberty here at home so that they have a home to come back to.
Certainly that's the very least we can do for our Heroes.
Our men and women of honor don't negotiate with their enemies and neither should we.
Let's all raise a glass in honor of those brave Heroes who loved us and our country so much they died for us and everything America represents.
It need not be alcoholic, it's the thought that counts. Skully can drink enough for all of us combined.
And let's say a prayer for their loved one's, their families and friends and ask God's blessings on them, and on our men and women risking their lives everyday so that we may enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
May we all work to keep America great and exceptional, humbly holding self evident truth's in our hearts and boldly proclaiming the ideals and principles of liberty our Founding Fathers fought and died for, and that our military men and women have fought and died for ever since.
May we honor them and their memories this Memorial Day and every day.
Have a blessed Memorial Day.

Yesterday's post got too unwieldy and ended in a train wreck, while this
morning I overslept. Perhaps I can comb through yesterday's unpublished
wreckage...

A lovely, righteous rant, Ben.
God bless you and each member of our armed services.
May we be worthy of the ultimate sacrifice so many have given for our freedom.
wv: torte That's right, freedom ain't no piece of cake. It's hard work.
Thanks Joan!
I'm honored that patriots like you are worthy of the sacrifice so many have given for our freedom. :^)
Amen, Ben. And what Joan said.
I couldn't agree more Ben. The idea that we should compromise our values is ridiculous and insulting.
Let's all raise a glass in honor of those brave Heroes who loved us and our country so much they died for us and everything America represents.
Consider it done, Ben. And I raise a special one just for you.
No compromise!
This is why we love our Ben.
Thank you for posting the common sense.
And of course, for your service.
Hi Julie, and thanks!
We're eagerly awaiting the arrival of you and DH's bundle of joy! :^)
Thanks Andrew!
Aye! When it comes to principles and values negotiations are what those who lack both tend to do.
We used to call them sellouts, not negotiators.
I reckon that's the difference between statesmen of good character and weasels that would sellout at every opportunity for their 30 pieces of silver.
Thanks Dojo!
Salute!
Aww shucks, thanks Sal!
That means more than I can say coming from a patriot like you! Like all you guys! :^)
Great post, Ben!
Our politicians are pretty rotten, and it's more striking on Memorial Day when we take time to honor the real heroes.
Thank you again for your service, and for such rousing words.
(funny word verification for a Navy man: pecoat)
Thanks Retriever!
Those peacoats work well to keep out the cold bein' made of wool.
Never wash them in hot water! You probably already knew that I bet. :^)
