Paul Ryan scares the living daylights out of the DeMarxists. With
good reason. He was the perfect choice for Mitt Romney, whom many
conservatives considered to be too vanilla, too privileged, too rich and
out of touch with ‘the common man’. More importantly, he was viewed as
another inside-the-beltway Republican selection.
Conservatives, deeply mistrustful of what we have come to recognize
as the Republicrat establishment who brought us magnificent beltway
failures such as Bob Dole and my favorite, John ‘You can’t do it my
friend’ McCain, were understandably leery of what they saw as another
insider pick. Many still are.
Conservative patriots saw Romney as soft on illegal immigration and,
worse, pro government-run healthcare vis à vis his Massachusetts health
care plan. Coming at a time when the country had been virtually taken
over by a Marxist cabal bent on turning this country into a third-world
swamp, to forever bind its citizens to the slavish penury of communism.
He was seen as too compromised and too weak to take on the DeMarxists.
Further, his savaging of each of his Republican challengers in turn
gained him no friends among the one core block of Americans he had to
have to win… the oft misidentified Tea Party Patriots. We saw his
campaign as soft and very reluctant to take on Barack Hussein Obama,
fearing the constant mantra of racism, which is the DeMarxist
stock-in-trade. A brief look at Tea Party victories all over the country
since 2010 shows the absolute necessity of having our unqualified
support. More to the point, we are not a bit reluctant to take on
MaoBama and his thugs.
It wasn’t looking good from our perspective. In point of fact, I
could see another Republican insider failure looming high on the
horizon. Very scary stuff. At the speed which MaoBama’s Marxist regime
was, and is, moving to destroy our constitutional republic, I couldn’t
see how we, as a free people, could survive to get another shot at this
thing in 2016.
Enter Paul Ryan. I was somewhat shocked, but none-the-less delighted,
when Romney announced his selection for a running mate. I had really
feared that he would go with one more beltway pick, as the Republicrats
kept trolling out one insider after another. Some of the more or less
acceptable picks out there on the ‘short list’ had fatal flaws, such as
Marco Rubio, who for all his patriotism is soft on illegal immigration.
They even pulled Jeb Bush’s name out of their magician’s hat. Puh-lease…
no more Bushies… not for at least a lifetime or so.
Paul Ryan has been called the intellectual leader of the Congress.
It’s about damned time someone in Congress showed some intellect. That’s
the subject for another whole article. Suffice to say, our entire
Republican leadership has failed us time after time with their insider
timidity and pandering to whichever political wind was blowing (read:
‘swamp gas’).
Ryan scares the hell out of the establishment, and the DeMarxists as
well. Conservatives will remember that in a brief five minutes he
destroyed Barack Hussein’s entire healthcare scheme, in their only
face-to-face encounter thus far. Romney is no fool. He is a consummate
businessman who understands how money works and how to generate it. He
is a self-made man. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, as
the left is trying to portray him. He has certainly faced his share of
life’s vagaries.
Paul Ryan is going to be the rapier which Mitt Romney will plunge
into the heart of the Marxist monster that threatens to destroy our
lives and our freedom. There will be a price to be paid for Barack
Hussein’s lawlessness, come November.
Let’s see that Obama pays that price.
