That area I spoke of used to be very scenic, and had solid uses. On one side of the highway there were vast vineyards and on the other side, sheep grazed.

"No idea is so powerful as an idea whose time has come." And that idea is conservative, constitutional governance.

We let out guard down, we got complacent, we asked "how dangerous could he be?" Now we know. Like you, I see at least two election cycles before we can start to fix things properly. But at least we will be strong enough to stand athwart the tide of Obamism yelling "stop!" We are no longer a voice crying in the wilderness. We now have strength in numbers and strength of resolve.

A people gets the form of government it deserves, and for awhile, we deserved The One. But it woke us up. It showed us what just one year of a demagogic false messiah could do to America and everything we stand for. If we are strong, stick to principle, and return to constitutional government by the people, we will come out OK. If we let down, or compromise our core principles, we will lose, and we will deserve it.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-4980587502675667622010-03-06T19:55:22.272-05:002010-03-06T19:55:22.272-05:00The gig is up for the RINOs and they know it, witn...The gig is up for the RINOs and they know it, witness Lindsey Graham doubling down on stupid, a true statist show of hand.

Those of us who understand Reagan's 80% rule of thumb also know that some political stands are so far off the cliff that even an 80%er is disqualified from running again. The Guantanamo issue is probably not one of those sticking points, but it's not good. Cap and Trade, on the other hand, is so totally destructive that I would hesitate to vote for a candidate who voted in favor of any version of it, let alone one who attempted to revive it after it was essentially a dead issue.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-82476218087095014302010-03-06T17:39:57.767-05:002010-03-06T17:39:57.767-05:00Lawhawk--Beware of liberals in conservative's ...Lawhawk--Beware of liberals in conservative's clothing would be a good motto for the Republican Party to follow for the foreseeable future.

But so far, her campaign has been ineffective, and despite some fairly decent statements on fiscal responsibility, I don't see her as being enough different from Boxer to lead Californians to change horses. If we get Campbell or DeVore as the next Senator from California, nobody will mistake either of them for McCain or Graham.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-1707017282965799522010-03-06T13:13:51.416-05:002010-03-06T13:13:51.416-05:00Lawhawk.

I mentioned the one example solely because he is apparently the number two or three guy for Al Qaeda now. But he is far from the only one to return to jihad, well-fed and healthy after his pleasant stay at our Jihad Hilton.<br /><br />Graham did indeed use his voodoo to resurrect the dead body of cap 'n tax. I think you're right about it having a short existence as a zombie, and is once again dead.

With four years left on his term, he'll navigate right at election time. But like McCain, he can do a lot of damage in the interim. I think public awareness, best exemplified by the Tea Party movement, may make Graham's term as the MSM's favorite Republican less successful than McCain's long reign. People are waking up to the phonies in their midst. Charlie Crist in Florida may be the test case of whether the RINO who tacks right at election time can still pull it off.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-3855076120812786592010-03-06T12:29:59.592-05:002010-03-06T12:29:59.592-05:00Joel: If only there were such a way.

The only way to get rid of them during their terms is impeachment or removal by the body itself. And we know that it's almost impossible to get one crook to vote to remove a fellow crook.

Aside from the fact that it is an ideal wind location, the turbines produce minimal power, but they do have a side effect on the ecology so beloved of eco-freaks. There are a lot of small beasties in this farm and vineyard country (field mice, gophers, etc.). So the red-tailed hawks and golden eagles have thrived there for centuries. Small problem. They're single-minded. They see a delicate morsel skittering around on the ground, they do their magnificent dive, and get cut in half by the wind turbines. The rodent population is increasing dramatically, while the raptor population is quickly disappearing.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-30539913313134421522010-03-06T12:11:14.276-05:002010-03-06T12:11:14.276-05:00P.S.
