The dearth of leadership
It seems there is a severe lack of leadership in this country, especially on the right side of the isle. The republican majority, for what it's worth, has absolutely lost it. Where are the republican leaders and what do they stand for these days?
Senate Majority leader Frist was offended and hurt last week when the vocal minority leader Harry Reid called for a surprise closed door session of congress. Offended and hurt? Isn't Sen. Frist the majority leader? If he was so offended, why the hell didn't he go on offense to make up for the insubordination?
The republicans have no imagination, no creativity, no clue and definitely no balls when it comes to dealing with the opposition. They are no match for the unscrupulous left!
And what's the deal with the republican "leadership" calling "Big Oil" execs to Congress to explain their profits? Have they forgotten what they should have learned in "Econ 101?" Is capitalism on trial now in Congress?
The leadership problem extends far beyond politics. Why didn't one or all of those "Big Oil" execs stand up and give those arrogant Congressmen the economic facts of life? Do you think Howard Hughes would have taken that crap from those people in Congress. He would have, and did, put them to shame by putting them in their proper place and rightly walked out when he was called upon to defend his capitalistic methods of operation by corrupt politicians. Shame on our present day oil execs for not doing the same thing.
What's becoming of our nation devoid of leadership? The only ones standing up and unabashedly speaking up without fear of retribution from the PC crowd are the Rush Limbaugh's (as if there's more than one!) the Hugh Hewitt's, the Dennis Prager's, the Sean Hannity's, the Laura Ingraham's and other fearless, wisemen who boldly speak against the failing establishment. Many good columnists like Walter E. Williams, Michael Barone, Mark Steyn, David Limbaugh, Victor Davis Hanson, and so many others also lead the way. Where are the politicos who seek our support as we approach election day?
Politicians are losing it. America needs real leadership. We need someone who will boldly address our border problems...(close them...build the high tech wall!) We need someone who will boldly slash spending and taxes! We need someone who will boldly stand up against the socialistic leftists who more often than not, shamelessly, stand on the side of our terroristic enemies for the sole purpose of destroying the Bush administration. Where is the republican leadership to combat this treasonous behavior?
Why is it that, although the republicans are in the majority, we can't start drilling in the frozen tundra wastelands of Alaska? Why is it, that we can't drill off the coast of Florida or California? Why is it we're not building new refineries this very minute? What's with this republican "majority?" They have become an impotent bunch of appeasers, more answerable to the media than to their constituents who put them in office. They are losing the conservative base.
Americans deserve better leadership and if we don't get it, the whole batch of encumbants are going to find themselves back in the private sector.
UPDATE/PS...I wrote the above, last night, in great haste and failed to mention the hardest working and one of the most effective journalists of our time, Michelle Malkin, when listing a mere handful of leading columnists. Forgive me, Michelle. You've always been at the top of my "go to" list of bloggers/columnists when I want the latest news and info.
Additionally, I forgot to say that our current bunch of republican congressmen and women are an embarrassment to the conservative movement.
I've said it before, many times, and will say it again; as entertaining as it is to see the left racing ever further to the left on a daily basis, this only serves to "allow" the "right" to devolve toward the left as well. The entire congressional mess is racing to the left at breakneck speeds. The conservative movement has been co-opted by the liberal wing (who like to be called "moderate") of the republican party and they only appear to be conservative, by comparison, because the left has become a virtual socialistic, leftist party.
Conservatives know what's going on and we're disgusted.
