A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Harry Reid: He’s “Very Good”?

Vote wrong once, shame on you.  Vote wrong twice, you're probably the Senate Majority Leader of the most corrupt, inept, ham-fisted congress in a generation.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid mistakenly called out "no" Thursday when asked for his vote on the health care reconciliation bill, setting the chamber howling with laughter.

Reid voted the wrong way when the clerk called for his vote, realized his error and quickly changed his vote to "yes."

"He did it again," someone said amid laughter.

Reid, who spent months persuading fellow senators to vote "yes" on President Obama's top domestic priority, made the same mistake December 24 when voting on the original health care bill.

Wow.

To make things even better (we just say "worse"), Reid touts the new health care legislation as a "new bill of rights."  Hmmm...now where have I heard that type of "2nd Bill of Rights" rhetoric before?

Perfect. But don't worry: President Obama taught Constitutional Law in Chicago (while making sure all adjacent communities were thoroughly organized), so why should we expect him and the current Democrats running things in D.C. to know the first thing about the Constitution?

  1. You gotta wonder: What have the good folks of NV been smoking all these years? And when will they wake up? Come, November, come!

    (OK, not that I can really talk; my state has voted in Sen. Patty Murray — aka “The Dumbest Person in Congress” — 3X!)

  2. How does the Left get away with promoting ideas like a “new bill of rights”? What in the world is going on here?

    This should disturb every American who actually cares about the Constitution. Forget political parties: this is insane!

  3. Let’s vote the jokers out.

What is “Mere Conservatism”?

The basic ideas, ideals, and values that generally define and characterize the central tenets of what today might be termed "modern conservative thought."

We believe that a proper understanding of history, economics, and theology leads to certain conclusions. Many of these are the same conclusions our Founding Fathers arrived at in constructing a "more perfect union."

All ideas and opinions are welcome; not all are correct.
