Republicans Must Never Surrender

Republicans lost a battle with the reelection of Obama to a second term, but now is not the time to surrender. Liberal Democrats are waging war on the American way of life. They are relentless in attacking our freedoms, and they don’t seem to care that their policies are spending our country into oblivion.
Since the November election, we hear from the liberals that Republicans were beaten, that they must move to the center, and that they must now compromise with democrats. Balderdash! Obama has no mandate for his socialist agenda. He was largely elected by people who do not pay taxes, are generally ignorant of the issues, or simply voted for him because they “like” him. In addition, Obama was reelected because his sycophants in the liberal media fallaciously portray him as a person whose policies are good for the poor and middle class despite evidence to the contrary. The ever-increasing entitlements and trillion dollar deficits of Obama’s first term failed to stimulate the economy. As a result, we have persistently high unemployment and a populace increasingly dependent upon the government. Obama’s answer is to tax the rich and ignore the plain fact that the government’s current deficit spending is unsustainable. His stubborn adherence to failed Keynesian economic principal is remarkable.

But Republicans are not powerless to stop Obama and his liberal cohorts. Because Republicans control the U.S. House of Representatives, they effectively have a veto power over Obama and the liberal Democrats. Republican representatives simply must have the stomach to say no. To his credit, Speaker Boehner seems to have finally realized that negotiating with Obama is an exercise in futility. The House of Representatives must work properly – just pass a bill and then reconcile it with the Senate if possible. We must vigorously fight the liberal policies that are attacking our freedoms and destroying our country. Decades of compromising with Democrats has slowly but steadily put us in our present fiscal mess. It’s time to regroup and mount a counter offensive, politically speaking. For the sake of our country’s future, Republicans must now fight harder than ever before!
