Portrait Of A Traitor

They
say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so if the converse is true, let
me paint a picture. I’ll use the canvas
of America’s current majority political party in Congress, the brushes of reason
and common sense, and the dark oils running the machinery of that party. The darkest hues are personified in the
leaders of both houses of Congress and their recent actions and words. Blending in around them we find the old
standbys of their philosophy, doom and gloom, with a broad stroke of
anti-conservatism and anti-individualism.
The background of this portrait consists of complimentary supporting
swirls of reckless media bias and deliberate attempts to stir up social
unrest.
As
we begin to study the face of the traitor, we find the eyes are clouded with
cataracts of untruth and the nose has become immune to the stench of decaying
bodies of the traitor’s victims. The
mouth can only spew forth accusations that would better describe a self-examination
instead of an accurate assessment of the reality of its opposition. The face has no clear definition against the
aforementioned background, but a shadow of its main components exists
none-the-less.
As
the brushes work to fill the canvas, recent events illustrate the image that is
emerging and the title of the final portrait cannot be denied.
As
for debating these folks who would represent this portrait of the Democrat
Party – we find that the major players in the game for the presidency in 2008
have said that the Party must sanction any debates before they will
participate. Fair debates is the most
accurate measurement the people have to judge one party against another, or
better yet, one individual against another.
Our very freedom is the only sanction that should be necessary.
We
also find that these same three folks were horrified to learn that the Supreme
Court had dared to confirm the Constitutionality of the partial birth abortion
ban recently. They erroneously believe
that our Constitution supports a “right” to kill the most vulnerable members of
society with a cruelty unmatched and a brutality unconscionable, and they warn
against a time when that would be viewed with clarity by all. While they are good at reading what is not in our Constitution, they
blatantly reject what specifically exists – the right to bear arms. Why do they ever bother to mention the
document, the contents of which they are so very ignorant, even though they
have sworn to protect and defend it?
Finally,
and most telling, we have the leaders of the majority party of both houses of
Congress acting in ways that offer great aid and comfort to our enemies. Yes, that’s right – we DO have enemies, and
those enemies are evil. They will never
be backed into a corner through fair diplomacy, yet those these two leaders
continue to insist that this is the only tool we have to fight them. These leaders have taken it upon themselves
to ignore the existing protocols of our government, show no respect for the
chain of command, and reach out a helpful hand to the brutal leaders of our
enemies – all the while they embolden the thugs and demoralize our own innocent
heroes fighting the real war with the barbs of their words and actions.
Heroism
is not reflected in the face of this portrait, but loathing defeat shows
through clearly. Shame on you both,
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and shame on the despicable excuse for a freedom
loving people that your party represents.
Shame on you, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, and shame
on your ignorance that drives your senseless desire for power – no matter what
the cost to your country.
If
ever there was a time for the American people to see your face clearly and have
the courage to call treason what it is – now is that time. Not since Benedict Arnold have we had such
clear representation of traitorous acts as this party has personified.
This
portrait came up with change to spare in words, so it must be beneath the worth
of a picture of the opposite.
May
God continue to bless America, and may good eventually win out over evil, even
in the face of such tremendous odds.
