Holding out for a hero...

Song-writer and brilliant musician (although at best a tepidly talented singer...) Jim Steinman would likely be none to happy to hear me use his song title in this way. He was a constant critic of Bush and good lord he probably likes this new guy. But right now that's where we, the Conservatives in America, stand. We are holding out for a hero.

We want to know who will take point and rally the troops in more meaningful ways than these obscure blogs. We want to have faith that there is a call to arms for a select few who have the cajones to stand up and take the ceaseless drumming assault which we now know to be a badge of honor, from the Democrats.

But do we want someone to be our rescuer? No. That is not quite correct. We want someone to unite us in a common goal, a belief-system which defies personal differences and makes former enemies allies. A large squid from outer space suddenly and gruesomely slobbering over NYC might do that (although somehow I don't really know if we would be all that shocked by that image... ) but as one of those isn't about to come down the pipeline anytime soon, we need a man or woman who will stand forth and say, "Alright you maggots!!! Who wants to live forever?!" and then we'll rush into fight.

You see, that's the difference. We want to be part of the solution. Being rescued Ala Lois Lane doesn't mean we aren't in the fight. We need the hero for one reason, and one reason only, to remind us of who and what we are when things go so horribly wrong.

This is why Rush Limbaugh is being singled out in the mainstream media.... he does that sort of thing. He points out the stupidity and arrogance of the enemies, and he reminds us to stop being snivelling victims, stand up and be proud of our beliefs.

Sarah Palin does that too. Why do you think NOW hates her so much. She wasn't a victim. Those women want.... nay... require that other women be helpless victims. They need it so they can have someone to rescue. There is no other reason for the personal assaults on Sarah that might have bowed a more weak-minded woman. Every time I am told I am an idiot for liking her because she 's so unintelligent, I smile and realize that the defence to treating her like a whore is that it is the party-line.

Sarah Palin is the woman to rally around. Maybe she is not the most worldly person out there. But she can take the blows and keep on coming, and more than that she can join with her enemies for a good laugh and then turn right around and continue to bash their errors.

She didn't sell out, and she didn't cross the aisle. She spent a couple thousand on dresses. Big effin deal. Hussein spent a massive amount of the GNP in the past two weeks, so I'll take the cost-cutting of Sarah to that any day.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is angling to run in 2012. I'm told he is an early front-runner for the GOP post of Presidential nominee, so if he's still around in a few years he may help shape things. The problem with being the early front runner in this thing is that the Dems have that much more time to flambe your character. Unfortunately, America has proven that it is weak-minded and ... let's be honest.... stupid. So they'll buy it.

John McCain, let's face it, he was never a conservative, and he was never much of a Republican. His biggest asset was that he wasn't the other guy. I knew early on he had little hope of winning because mine was part of a larger chorus of voices saying that it really would have been awfully nice if Americans were given a choice or something... jeez.....

When Sarah came in suddenly he came to life. So did we. But it was too little too late just then.

But it's not too late for the next round, and I'm hoping Sarah has learned from her battle wounds and is anxious for a re-match. That's what's needed... someone who's in it for blood.

So I'm holding out for a hero to fight beside.

I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message.

  1. Joe,
    Couldn't agree with you more. I've liked Sarah from the get-go. I've liked her ever since she said she could see Russia from her front porch. She caught so much hell for that, but dammit, the woman is able to laugh at herself; she doesn't take herself too seriously. And she's smart, she's intelligent, in a way I haven't seen in a long long time.
    And that's what we need -- a real person. Not some special-interest-driven egosentric European socialist.
    I'll be right along with you and other intelligent Americans (Limbaugh, Hannity, and Levine included) in the next round.
    Thanks for the great blog.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA
