Stand up and say it!
The Conservative Movement has Failed.
Asleep at the wheel before 9/11/01, unable to capture Osama bin Laden, misleading the public, wrongfully attacking Iraq, mismanaging the war in Iraq, failing to respond to hurricane Katrina, failing to balance the budget, increasing government spending and bureaucracy, mismanaging the economy, failing to protect our environment, failing to protect our civil liberties, failing to protect consumers, failing to provide health insurance, failing to stand up against corruption, failing to lead and inspire this great nation of ours.
The fraud of conservatism.
Accountable to no one, they say one thing and do the opposite, over and over again. Deception is part of the plan. Their program of privilege and patronage has cost us thousands of lives and injuries and billions of dollars of debt. Citizens are losing faith in our voting system, our government and in many of our cherished institutions. Our leaders have invoked the name of the lord for their own personal gain.
The greed of conservatism.
They consistently prioritize self-enrichment over the public good: Halliburton. The Carlyle Group. The pork-filled Transportation Bill, the pork-filled Energy Bill, the enormously expensive and ineffective Medicare Drug Bill. The plan to gut Social Security. A government of crony incompetents. The growing global threat to human labor. The Dubai port contract. The nuclear loophole for India. Record arms sales worldwide.
The arrogance of conservatism.
"Mission Accomplished" in Iraq. The torture of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo innocent "detainees". Disdain for international law. Disdain for diplomacy. John Bolton dismantling the U.N. Accelerated profusion of nuclear material and weapon-building knowledge. Hatred of America is spreading through the world. America's reputation in the world is being tarnished badly.
The end of conservatism.
With control of all 3 branches of the federal government the conservatives have had their chance. But change will be a hard fight. Conservatives still control the mainstream media and their propaganda and framing continues to be effective. But Americans can stand tall in the face of these challenges. More and more voters are coming to understand the failure of conservatism.
A Strategy to Save American Democracy.
It's up to us. We have to be clear, strong and organized. We must convey our common values, moral courage and decisive leadership. And we must start now and not give up.
America's strength: the Moderate Majority
Common sense from common people has always been one of America's strengths. People don't want a government of greed. People don't want a culture of corruption to become the norm in America. Many people are ashamed of what has been done in America's name under the Bush administration and the Republican majorities in Congress. These sensible people will join in a cause to restore the goodness that America once stood for. Together we can bring back the genuine and deeply-felt pride that we all want to feel as we say the Pledge of Allegiance.
We must contact these folks and invite them into the movement to clean house in Washington in 2006. We will not be dismayed if they don't share every opinion we have or the all of the passion we feel about what's going on. We need their help. America needs their help. Democracy is worth it!
