Leftist Partisanship


Rush often gets it right. The blame for Washington gridlock and partisanship is mostly owned by Democrats. They have been at war with Republicans and conservatives for ten or fifteen years. They do not want loyal opposition; they want no opposition. They sit on their hands while Obama unleashes various government agencies going after conservative dissenters.

When conservatives and Republicans fight back, they are accused of being racist, homophobic, religiously fanatical, anti-women, anti-poor, anti-environment, etc. The Right wastes its time trying to defend themselves from these baseless charges, trying to disburden themselves of what they are not guilty of.

The whole accusation game is to deflect the attention of gullible voters from what really matters: voters need to adopt the values of wise sturdy citizens of the last century. Small government, scaled-backed entitlements, self-reliance, maximum liberty, maximum individualism, unfettered free enterprise in a healthy, well-run democracy to provide a lawful, civil society to keep thing rolling along in a smooth, peaceful way.

Conservatives must go to the voters with their Tea party agenda, explaining repeatedly, simply and clearly to them what needs to be done to fix things, and go forward.

Bipartisanship is the morally and politically aim to achieve in the legislative arena. The Right should not and does not seek their turn at one-party rule, They will not demonize and seek to destroy the Left. Indeed the resistance and criticism from Liberals, once Conservatives take over, is necessary for the political health of the country. One-party rule is authoritarianism. It leads to small citizens, big government, group-oriented living, mob behavior, corrosive centralization of power, and so forth.

Once we have set up our anarchist society with cantons in a loose national federation, then the moderate, individualized mode of governance will allow for genuine bipartisanship. Then listening too and honoring the needs of unpopular minorities in our midst can be tolerated and accorded some say and legislation passed.

That is bipartisanship, unlike the craven surrender exhibited by Republicans in Congress. The Left will turn on them like their did for Christie on Bridgegate.
