The Five Stages of a
Conservative’s Grief

American Spectator, by David Catron

Original Article

Posted By:garnet, 11/12/2012 6:35:31 AM

Last Tuesday evening I went to bed in denial, thinking that there must be some mistake. I declined to believe that a majority of the voters were stupid enough to re-elect a President whose incompetence makes Jimmy Carter seem Washingtonian by comparison, whose mendacity far surpasses that of a pathological liar like Bill Clinton, and whose administration is so corrupt that it actually evokes nostalgia for the Nixon era. (Snip) On Wednesday, forced to face the grim reality of the election results, I became angry. My seething thoughts turned first to the “news” media.

I´m making plans as these libs celebrate. Massive voter fraud and all we can do is shrug our shoulders. The corruption we´ve seen is only the tip of the iceberg. I wonder how long the money will last before the looting starts?

We will never walk back the results of this election.

I agree, #2. We´ll never walk it back, but we can gather our spirits up and realize we have a bigger fight now than we had in 2009 and 2010. And we did pretty darn well in 2010 (except for Harry Reid, that is.... this one´s personal to me!).

Of course, one thing we CAN´T do, that the Democrat/Progressives are so good at, is pay our side to stay on our side. We could, actually, but that goes against everything we say we´re for.

I´ve been through these grief stages at least twice since election night, and I´m back at despondency currently. I was all up in FIGHT for 2 days immediately after, but I keep thinking..... what´s the point.

We are still HALF the country - if not more. We just don´t cheat and steal. We need to start fighting for our country on the same level they are fighting to destroy it.

We must never give up. Never, never, never, never, never. (Thanks, Winston Churchill).

Fight for our republic. And ask God to help us reclaim it. Let us be the country God intended us to be. If we are part of something that God is blessing, and they are working for the destruction of good things (such as Christianity) we will win. Eventually.

Either we still control the house or we don´t.

Either all funding originates in the house or it doesn´t.

Which is it ?

We should be able to hamstring this government and hope they don´t like it.

A pretty good article. However, I don´t agree with his assertion that Romney was a weak candidate. Over the past week or so, I´ve come to the conclusion that a campaign of ideas isn´t going to work anymore. Which is a testament to the idiocy of our voting public that prefers MTV & Dancing with the Stars, rather than developing their intellect.

What does that leave us for the future? The only way a campaign of ideas like Romney ran is going to sell, is to sugar-coat it or wrap it in a pretty package. The only other alternative would be to adopt Obama´s tactic of presenting no ideas, but demonize the opponent and divide their base. Without the help of the media, that doesn´t seem likely for the GOP.

There seems to be a pattern to Presidencies these days. Democrat alternates with Republican. Each President is given two terms unless the public perceive there to be extaordinary circumstances that warrant his removal after just one term. I don´t think it´s worthwhile wallowing in grief about it. Wallowing is a form of self-indulegence and doesn´t achieve anything.

Right now I´m in the "mad as hell" stage, and I´m not going to get over it. On the Lightworker´s Inauguration day, I will display my American flag with black crepe draped around it. I am also putting an empty chair, a flag, and more black crepe around it.

I live in a small neighborhood and I have two neighbors I like, but I think they probably voted for Obama, as did several others in the neighborhood. We have two sets of doctors (husband and wife) - all 4 are black, and a white person who is a cancer specialist from New York City in our hood.

We all get along beautifully, but I need to do something to show my displeasure. Hell I´m 70 and about to turn 71. If I have a brain bleed, I´ve just read, doctors can´t treat the problem - just make me comfortable, according to the death panel regulation!

We need to look forward (I hate that word) to 2014. Hopefully we can generate enough disgust that by 9/12/2013 we can have another March on Washington of a million plus people as we did on 9/12/2009 and do it again in 2014. We must show our disgust every time Obama does something unConstitutional.

As I posted on another thread, I believe this happened for the best. Obama would not have been gracious in defeat. He would have exhorted his minions to burn this country to the ground. If Romney & Ryan had won, and I am not so sure they really lost, we would have paid for 100 years at least for the victory.


Reply 11 - Posted by: Catherine, 11/12/2012 7:34:21 AM     (No. 9008414)

Romney did not lose. The election was stolen from him. Chrissy said ´thank god for Sandy´ and the night following the election, Hannity said ´the media in this country is dead.´ It wasn´t too hard to add them up and get what happened.

All the media conspired to call the election for O by the 10 o´clock news. Then it was back to regular programming. I might be more enraged if I didn´t think Rove and Romney sort of deserved this. They chose the voters they wanted and it wasn´t those who listen to Rush or belong to the Tea Party. This was their fault as much as anything.

Good Article. After reading many election fallout articles I believe the best overall explanation is Our Lord´s words.. " The children of darkness are wiser in their own generation than the children of light" Obama is a big success at being destructive and uses every weakness in the population very effectively to retain power. Others who would end the destruction are too trusting and not real leaders. Romney was a good man but not a perfect leader. Where is the leader that could clean up this mess? It was not Romney, is there anyone in his right mind who would try and inherit this mess? The next candidate should be one who will articulate the situation clearly fully expecting to be defeated by the opponents wishful thinking!

I agree with David to a degree, however it still doesn´t explain the fact of why half of the population voted for a candidate (BO) whose record and corrupt admin should have been easily defeated and thrown out of office no matter who the challenger was (massive voter fraud maybe). We have raised at least two generations of a functionally illiterate population/electorate. Critical thinking doesn´t exist and we have a society of entitlement seekers...that said we are now on the road to the USA of Greece! In the end we the people could have stopped this skid into deep socialism, however a little over half of us were suckered into another four years of movement in a backward direction and changes that in the long run will not pan out the way that this half thinks that it will...bottom line (dollars and cents reallity coming for those in the entitlement half) is sooner or later you have to pay the piper!

I hate to be so negative but I believe that this country will never be what it once was. Many of our young people have been poisoned by the media and brainwashed by the educational system. A fair number of our politicians are corrupt. They go to Washington to line their pockets and acquire pension and health benefits most of us can only dream of. Not to mention the crony capitalism that has made them wealthy far beyond their ability to earn it. The work ethic that fueled our economy is lost. Religion has been mocked and ridiculed. Our society is profane to the point that any behavior is tolerated. Can we come back from this? I believe we had our chance on November 6th. We have to face the fact that actions have consequences and we will not be exempt. I am not a maudlin person but I can recognize the truth when I see it. Economic experts have been telling us the economy will collapse if we continue down the road of big government and more spending. The future looks grim and I loathe the voters who sold their freedom so cheaply. Guess I am at the resigned but still angry phase.

Pre Ordained, the only way out now is total collapse of the federal system.

It will happen down the road, prepare your selves and your families for the future.

The young in our society are not prepared for survival, the death and destruction will be unprecedented, the longing for freedom will overshadow the desire for material things, and the circle will come full.

I hate to sound so negative, but it´s over. The fat lady has sung. The left has been waiting for this for decades. They control everything and will not let this opportunity slip through their fingers We know there was cheating and voter fraud, but what can we do about it? Obama and his allies are going to completely destroy this country. They will get complete cover from the msm!

Teacher: " What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?"
Student: "I don´t know and I don´t care."

And that´s the kind of voter the Republican Party was stuck with. I don´t see any fix for it and will put the question aside until sometime next year. Shame on us.

As gratifying as it was to see the “news” media actually do its job last week when the IRS scandal broke, it was also odd that the coverage focused exclusively on abuses of power relating to various Tea Party and anti-abortion groups. A much scarier IRS story has been virtually ignored by the establishment press. On Wednesday, it was reported that a class-action lawsuit had been filed against a group of IRS agents who, according to the complaint filed by “John Doe Company” in the Southern District of California, “stole more than 60,000,000 medical records of more than 10,000,000 Americans

ONE OF THE BIGGEST questions hanging over the health-care system is how many young Americans will sign up for coverage once the Affordable Care Act begins to phase in this October. If too few buy insurance on the markets that the government is creating, insurance companies would be stuck covering primarily the the old and the sick. They would have to pay out more per customer. Their customers, in turn, would have to pay more to those companies for coverage. The stakes for the Health and Human Services Department, which is overseeing the transition, are tremendous.

You can argue that Republicans have blocked President Obama from doing just about anything. You can argue that he´s had bad luck. You can argue that he isn´t always the greatest orator. But you can´t argue away that the Department of Justice took the unprecedented step of seizing phone records from the Associated Press. Or the flimsy rationale justifying drone attacks abroad and at home. Or the bizarre step the Pentagon has taken to expand the ability of the military (Snip) These are actions that President Obama and his top team have taken on their own.

The Benghazi Emails´ Backside-Covering
Washington Post Writers Group, by David Ignatius    Original Article
Posted By: garnet- 5/19/2013 10:27:43 AM     Post Reply
WASHINGTON -- The hundred pages of Benghazi emails released last week tell us almost nothing about how four Americans came to die so tragically in that Libyan city. But they are a case study in why nothing works in Washington. Rather than reading these messages for their substance on Benghazi (on which officials were still basically clueless three days after the attack), try perusing them as an illustration of how the bureaucracy responds to crisis -- especially when officials know they will be under the media spotlight.

It must get confusing in the IT department at the Associated Press: Are you talking about the hackers who hacked our Twitter account or the Justice Department hackers who hacked our phones? Monday, the Associated Press reported that the Justice Department had secretly obtained two months of records of phone conversations by its reporters. Meanwhile, the Washington Post revealed that the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups was more widespread than first reported. (Snip)The Obama administration is doing a far better job making the case for conservatism than Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, or John Boehner ever did.

Lois Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision to target tea party groups for burdensome tax scrutiny, signed paperwork granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady charity headed by the president’s half-brother that operated illegally for years. According to the organization’s filings, Lerner approved the foundation’s tax status within a month of filing, an unprecedented timeline that stands in stark contrast to conservative organizations that have been waiting for more than three years, in some cases, for approval.

Last week, Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell ostentatiously announced their intention to fight implementation of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). They sent a letter to the President decrying the way IPAB will “impact America’s seniors … in the absence of the democratic process.” Sadly, the exercise was a charade. McConnell and Boehner know perfectly well that Obama has no intention of setting up this controversial board until after 2015.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
