It's been 12 days since my last post!
A lot's been happening in the life of the Drake. Busy, busy, busy. The new job responsibilities make daytime blogging impossible, and I am just too friggin' tired (not too mention embroiled in other stuff) to be consistent at night.
Anyway, I heard something on the radio yesterday on the drive home that I wanted to comment on. The Marty Minto replacement wanted to get the listener's take on the apparent discrepancy between the Liberals ongoing mantra that they are NOT in the minority, and the absolute utter failure of Air America and other new Liberal media projects to try and offset the plethora of conservative talk radio show successes.
He quoted Mario Cuomo as assessing the dynamic by claiming that Liberals are too smart to fall for slick media campaigns, even from their own side.
Hah! I think it's a little bit closer to reality to say that most Liberals THINK they're too smart to listen to anyone else.
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. Why else does every Democrat Presidential primary season look like a Chinese Fire Drill? By the time they settle on a candidate, they're so beaten down and tarnished by the depths that they've sunk to discredit their compatriots that the whole world knows that the Convention is really little more than the offering up of the latest sacrificial lamb to the Republican juggernaut.
The new pope made a comment about fighting against the "dictatorship of relativism", and it seems like that's really what's at the root of this sad, pathethic disintegration of what used to be a proud, dominant political party. When everyone's vision is just as relevant as anyone else's, and no common foundation can be found, then all you have is a bunch of wannabe emperors savaging the public's credulity just so they can be the next one to get blow jobs in the White House.
And everyone loses.
I pray that a new voice would arise in the politics of this country to keep the Republicans honest, because there's a whole lot going on in this government that gives me pause. Deficit spending, ill-advised and ill-timed stumping for issues that are probably not at the top of everyone's agenda, the slow movement towards ending judicial tyranny and the national stain of abortion on demand.
Heck, I'd like to see Bush take on the IRS before tackling Social Security. Seems like legacy building to me, and not a real working on the mandate that he was given in November.
Can anyone explain to me why this President is wasting our time trying to push SS reform when it ain't gonna happen? At least, not on his watch. Why isn't he stumping for term limits for federal judges and Supreme Court justices or Congressional override capabilities for dealing with bench legislation and arrogance?
Why is it that Judges Greer and Whittemore weren't arrested for defying a Congressional order?
Why is it that a final term President, who postures as both a cowboy and a righteous believer, isn't making the issues that got him elected his first priority?
I'd just like to know.

it is simple: power people protect other porwer people. gw sr. and bill clinton are now good friends. dubya embaraces bill clinton as well.
dubya looks and acts like a lame duck. so he is a lame duck. he has not a care for the policies he ran on. and he loves the new bankruptcy bill. his goal was to be a 2 termer and he won. the rest of us lose!
forget about the next few years. get ready for president hillary clinton. say a prayer!
oh and watch senator santorum get crushed in his bid for reelection. his own party will take him out; piece by piece. is he crazy expressing the truth about his beliefs on God, abortion, energy and so on?? he just commited politcal suicide. and none of his washington buddies will be there for him.
a lesson he will learn.
shalom!

ack! how depressing!
I heard about the bankruptcy bill signing yesterday, but haven't heard any of the particulars. what's the scoop?
you could be right about Santorum, but i hope not. however, being a pragmatist, it's pretty clear to me that Christians are gonna be on their own in this country in the not-too-distant future.
the only way Hillary gets in is if the Dems decide not to dilute themselves again in the primaries, or she manages to stay out of the typical mud wrestling and separate herself from the rest of the lame-o's. although i have been wrong before, and expect to be so again.
