Will Congress pass Obamacare by the end of the year?

If you’re a conservative then more than likely you’re sweating over the direction our nation is headed. I’m talking about a level of concern similar to what a father feels at 2 am after it dawns on him that he actually okayed his cute 16 year-old daughter to go to a Tommy Lee keg party earlier in the evening.

You’re freakin’, aren’t you conservative?

And you should be because it appears that conservative values are vanishing from our culture faster than an uncooked cow brain burrito slathered in habanero sauce would blow through Larry the Cable Guy’s backside.

This is not the America you grew up in, nor is it the one you want your kids to inherit.

What am I referring to? Well, it’s stuff like . . .

• Christians throwing banquets in honor of Ahmadinejad this week. This is progress? No, it is wussy Christianity at its ugliest. What’s next, a tickle fight with Satan? WTH Quakers and Mennonites?

• Our nation ogling a presidential candidate who, growing up, suckled on commie milk, is chummy with terrorists and race baiters, has been endorsed by Hamas and who intends to tax us all financially more than watching Rosie O’Donnell river dance in a thong would mentally.

• The looming threat of Islamo-facsists with the general opinion being that we asked for their animosity and should therefore come hat in hand to these killers who are nuttier than a squirrel’s turd.

• We have to suffer at the gas pump because greenies love humping trees and ferns.

• Our right to keep and bear arms is constantly under assault

• The big brothering of the private sector

• True Christianity being trashed.

• The slutification, wussification and secularization of our kids before they hit 2nd grade

• The majority of our college campuses are now left of Beelzebub

• 13 year-old girls being given birth control, or assisted in an abortion, without parents knowing diddly squat

• Second graders being told that Clay Aiken and Lance Bass are a viable alternative to mom and dad

• Press one for English

• The spirit of irresponsibility and entitlement that has saddled our nation from Wall Street to Main Street

As a concerned conservative who doesn’t have it in me to curl up on the floor in the fetal position and get stepped on, I decided to start directing my pen and my radio show post 9/11 toward the things which I know are derailing our nation into an uber-liberal ditch.

Since that decision not to be a beholden and silent cow to ripe and foul secular folly, I’ve had the fun and good fortune to carry out my mission on TV, radio and right here on Townhall.com. God bless righteous outrage. Continued...

Doug Giles Column
Greetings;
Doug Giles virulent diatribe against what he sees as objectionable trends in the US should be examined for what it is: the ranting and ravings of one who is using fear to try to keep this nation from moving forward into the future.

Giles criticizes members of religious groups for having a dinner and engaging in dialogue with the Iranian president Ahmadinejad. Would Giles prefer a war against Iran, like the current one with Iraq, with thousands of US soldiers dead, hundreds of thousands of Iranian citizens killed and hundreds of billions of dollars belonging to the US taxpayers wasted, while the conservative US federal government continues to neglect serious domestic problems like health care, environmental protection and our wrecked financial system?



Giles claims that environmentals are responsible for the high gas prices. No way. The conservative, backwards-thinking governments of Reagan, Bush, and Bush which focused on oil and pooh-poohed alternative, clean energy investements is the reason we now are struggling to catch with other industralized countries who are far ahead of us in utilizing solar, wind, and other clean solutions to energy shortages such as conservation, mass transit, etc. If the energy policies of the Carter Adminnistration had been continued by Reagan we might have avoided two wars with Iraq as well as the current high prices of gasoline. Giles should consider doing a little homework before putting his pen to paper.

"The big brothering of the private sector," has also been a product of conservatives with the Patriot Act invading our privacy, and more emphasis on personal invasion of our private lives as a solution to possible security problems.

I suggest that Mr. Giles might want to do a little more research into the history and facts of these topics before writing about them.

Sincerely,
Leonard Nolt

Dear 7 Sicks
Thanks for illustrating Giles' point. That half-wit diatribe for perversity clarifies everything that conservatives stand against. It also makes plain the warped, pop culture mindset that has trashed this country and its values. You're the enemy, pal. Every bit as much as Al Qaida is.
