New Year’s Resolution 2009
Will make this writing exercise brief so you can return to your holiday activities, potential 2009 New Year’s resolution for conservatives, learn to identify, and avoid honoring counterfeit conservatives in both your public and private lives.
First group of counterfeit conservatives to identify and not honor in one’s public and private lives: anti-conservative aristocrats like Bush II, McCain, Texas Senators Hutchinson and Cornyn, Texas Governor Perry, and most Republican elected officials.
Anti conservative aristocrats masquerading as conservatives delivered Germany to Hitler and will Deliver America to Obama; recent example how both Republican Presidential candidate McCain and President Bush II have raced to be Obama’s lap dogs.
Second group of counterfeit conservatives to identify and not honor: populist conservatives whose beliefs drift with ratings. Conservative doctrines are based on principles not fluctuating principals defined by profit margins.
Two good examples, talk show host who openly denounces any ideology and endorses public populism. Fox Network unlike other major networks though not driven by socialism seems driven by mob rule ratings.
Third group of counterfeit conservatives to identify and not honor: those who are conservative for their public audiences, and who knows what in their private lives. Ben Franklin completely and permanently disavowed his relationship with his son when his son supported England during America’s War for Independence.
Question audience members have right to ask Limbaugh and other similar motivated talk show hosts: you claim publicly to be a conservative; however in your private life you socialize with and count as a friend Bush II who is poster child for counterfeit conservatives who has probably violated every promise made to Republican voting base responsible for Bush II being elected.
Limbaugh has right be make a living promoting conservative beliefs; listeners have right to know if he is a “hired gun” in it for money. Most would still respect him for his honesty and his skills as a hired gun rather than his pretending to be something he and others like him my not be, both public and private conservative.
A closing thought for public and private conservatives remember hard times are often Heaven’s way of preparing not punishing.
