Dana Loesch:
Last night the Democrat party died as it drove a spear through the torso of the Constitution and passed legislation that the majority of Americans overwhelmingly opposed. Nancy Pelosi sauntered into the capitol surrounded by fellow socialists, carrying the gavel used in 1965 to pass the now-bankrupt Medicare.
All summer long Americans filled town halls, emailed, called, and faxed their lawmakers, and they were forsaken. They were called Nazis, racists, homophobes; they were threatened, beaten, and called stupid because they disagreed with the minority who feels that the government should run our lives. Our lawmakers unofficially stopped representing us last spring.
Last night, our legislators officially broke the contract with America that is the Constitution. Last night, they ceased to represent us. Last night, a new party was born; the malignant tumor that is the progressive caucus consumed the Democrat party from within and gave birth to the mainstream Socialist Party.
Do read the whole thing – she concludes thusly, with a call to arms:
…This is the dawn of the modern-day sons and daughters of liberty. We must heed the call of action and with courageous steps and humble hearts work against tyranny. We will guard our hearts and we will realize that the only fight worth having is a fight on the right side of God…
You need to decide right now: will you fight to preserve liberty? Will you give of your time, your money, your passion so that your future generations will benefit? Will you get behind groups like ELPAC, candidates who can best win the race and most mirror our platform? Will you become an evangelist for liberty?
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
– Samuel Adams
I am a Republican and no one knows better than myself the imperfections of my party. We have our problems and the only way we can ensure that the Republican party stays right is be vigilant. That said, it is now the duty of all patriots to vote Republican in the 2010 and 2012 elections. Failure to secure the largest possible majority of Republicans is a dereliction of duty.
This is not because the Republican party will make everything all better. Far from it. We’re conservatives: we know the limitations of Fallen Man. But unless we turn back this socialist tide, our nation’s story is told. America is the land of liberty – not the land of government hand-outs. We’ve been slack for far too long – both in holding GOP feet to the fire, but also in quibbling about who is the purest Republican and thus allowing Democrats to slip in.
No more of that. It is time to change America back to what the Founder’s intended – not, mind you, a return to the past but, actually, a restoration of that timeless, sublime vision. We don’t hanker for the past – but we know that if there is to be an America in the future, it will have to be the Founder’s America, or not at all.
I’m ready for this battle. As I said on Sunday, I’m geared up, happy and willing to do what I must. Do not hold back, fellow Americans – give all you can, do all you can…we owe it to those who came before us…those who fought and died for liberty, not for a government run health care system.
