The Liberal Left's demonization of all who proclaim Conservatism with hateful scorn is something that dismays The Right. When Sarah Palin was selected to be John McCain's running mate it set off an almost comical reaction of contempt. When Joe the Plumber got Obama to reveal his Marxist hand with the words "redistribution of wealth," The Left did what it could to discredit the aspiring plumber, spending more time digging into Joe's background and history than they would ever do when it came to their savior, Barack Obama. When 13-year old Jonathan Krohn spoke at CPAC, the Leftists tossed a few snide remarks about how The Right was placing the helm into the hands of a kid, but surprisingly restrained themselves for the most part - perhaps it was because he's a kid, and they didn't want to get into a kid-bashing tailspin that might make them look bad.
What these Conservative figures have in common, however, is something that the Democrats loathe. They are real Americans. Each of these people are flag waving, God fearing, patriotic Americans without an elitist bone in their body. They are not Harvard and Yale Graduates with a flare for being pious about government control of the common citizen. The hockey mom from Alaska, Plumber challenging the future President of the United States, and young conservative with a set of standards that the wisest Liberal could never understand are conservatives that share the common sense of America's foundation.
The dividing line between these Conservatives and Liberal Elites is that the Conservatives recognize the truths that The Left remains incapable of understanding. Rather than possessing intellectual arrogance and a belief that government can be all things to all people, these common patriots recognize the importance of individual liberties and responsibilities and how they go hand in hand. Rather than believing that we are so progressive that we are somehow better than the past, and all history is to be forgotten, the Conservative recognizes the importance of learning from the lessons of history, and the wisdom of the founding fathers of this nation.
In the pursuit of fairness, the Liberal Doctrine makes life unfair. Success is somehow an evil, and must be limited. The weakest links must be carried and rewarded for their failures, rather than encouraged to continue pursuing the opportunities this nation has to offer no matter how difficult that struggle may be. Liberalism has forgotten that this is a Republic, and have decided to try and make it a Democracy instead, and eventually into a tyranny where government elites administer to a populace dependent upon governmental programs and hand outs.
Achievement in business and culture is what fuels the Free Market. Hope to better one's life is the engine. Ambition turns the key. The desire to curb such ambition by the Liberal Left is pure evidence that they wish the common man to fail, to become just another sprocket in the machinery of Socialism. To drive home their desire they have made it practically a crime to earn too much profit, and a joke to be patriotic. Prosperity is for the elites, according to The Left. They do whatever they can to have nice homes, cars, and private planes - while dictating to you that your home uses too much energy, your car uses too much gas, and successful business owners need to refrain from their use of private jets, unless of course they are a member of the Liberal Elite. This is not freedom as they claim it to be, but bondage, bondage that the founding fathers of this nation would never encourage.
Liberalism achieved its lofty position not by the hard work of ambition, but by the accusations that everything Republicans and Conservatives stand for is evil, wrong, and the very essence of stupidity. Whenever anything in the world arose that did not meet with complete satisfaction of The Left, it was automatically George W. Bush's fault. His actions were wrong and evil, no matter if there were liberals doing the same thing. Obama's speeches, when he rarely sounds less than liberal, are somehow brilliant - even when he says things similar to what Bush was saying.
Politics are no longer about politics, but about power. The Republican Party cannot find its Conservative Values because it has determined that the only way to win is to abandon what is right and become more like the Democrats. The Democrats are steeped with Socialism and arrogance. It is understood that in the end the truth will surface, and the nation will throw off its socialist shackles. The question is, will the American People realize such a necessity too late to save this generation from the bonds of American Socialism?
