De Mint and Palin - Warriors

Back-Assward Thinking

“ South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint has bet on the right horse in an impressive string of Senate primary contests this year --  including Mike Lee's win this week in Utah -- but the freshman Republican's biggest challenge will likely be how he and his band of conservative outsiders fit into the GOP establishment. ”

DeMint expands clout all the way to Utah is a story about a Senator from South Carolina's backing of conservative candidates, gone on to defeat establishment Republicans in primaries. How will they fit into the conservative establishment?  Egad, They don't, thank you. They will, hopefully,  become the establishment. Like every other American at the time, I was ecstatic after Newt's engineered overthrow  of 40 years of House Democrat rule in 1994.  Here's the first thing I remember him doing as Speaker.  An audit revealed several million dollars missing from a House management slush-fund.  Newt promptly announced there would be no further investigation; no recriminations.  Spirit of bi-partisanship, don't ya know.   It was  McClellan failing to press his advantage after Antietam. The Republican establishment, amazingly,  failed to recognize, or chose not to engage it, that the Democrat Party had become systemically corrupt, was at its core Marxist, and inimical to the promise of American freedom.  Hollering "We want our country back" today is a sterile exercise without recognition that, for all practical purposes, the Democrat Party is a greater immediate threat than fascist Islam.  One of the promises made in 1994, this one from Tom De Lay, was impeachment proceedings against activist judges.  That it did not happen. I suspect, was not De Lay's doing. It would be a good place to begin this time; a good promise to make.
