Good News for America, on Principle

Good News for America, on Principle

News reports filtered through the mainstream media are best read by thinking people with a generous dollop of salt. The salt serves to add flavor and a degree of truth to those reports. There’s been some good news of late for patriotic Americans which, post-filtering, is being cast in a negative light.

Specifically, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter has finally admitted what most people have long known, that he’s not a Republican. Actually, he has been a RINO, a Republican in Name Only, for decades, ever since he fled to the Republican Party to escape certain defeat as a Democrat.

The other tidbit of positive news is that Associate Supreme Court Justice David Souter has announced his retirement from SCOTUS. He has served for 19 years on the court as a living example of George H.W. Bush’s biggest mistake as president.

Arlen Specter: Specter’s bailout from the Republican Party was long overdue but, of course, he insisted on putting a positive political spin on his decision by suggesting he was making his move based on principle. God forbid that a United States Senator concede the truth as opposed to customary political prevarication which everyone including his plastic surgeons knew was a lie.

Arlen had as much chance of winning the Pennsylvania Republican nomination as Punxsutawney Pete has of escaping his groundhog prison. Arlen was due to get whupped in a primary next year: http://www.nypost.com/seven/04292009/postopinion/editorials/specters_principle__he_comes_first_166697.htm.

Returning from whence Specter came in 1965 when he pulled a similar switcheroo and for the same reason, the probability he was going to lose the next election, Specter is no loss and could very well be replaced next year by a true Republican, former Rep. Pat Toomey.

Much is being made of his giving Harry Reid a filibuster-proof majority, which is all poppycock. With Liberal RINO’s Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins already in Reid’s pocket and John McCain, who doesn’t seem to know what he is, thrashing about for an identity, the Dems don’t need Specter except for bragging rights, bragging that a Democrat has returned to the fold. Good bye, good luck and good riddance, Arlen, and do let the door hit you in the ass as you depart. It hasn’t been good to know ya!

It’s time for a clean sweep of the Republican Party and let the chips and the country fall where they may. Then we can pick up the pieces and un-make Obama’s “re-making of America” in his socialist image. America doesn’t need re-making. It needs a renewing by returning her to traditional values, limited government, and true prosperity devoid of overbearing Obamian bureaucrats in 2012.

David Souter: Before he packs himself off to New Hampshire to live out his days reflecting on how he fooled Bush 41 into thinking he had some Republican principles, David Souter should be given an award for being the greatest flim-flam chameleon of the last two decades.

With the notable exception. . .
