Powerful Broads

Men such as Tom Delay are referring to Nancy Pelosi as "the most powerful speaker in a generation".

That might well be true of the Senate or the Congress but given the extraordinarily low approval rating of Congress these days, is that so much to be proud of?

Unlike Gov. Palin, Pelosi has money - that damn pearl necklace of hers could pay off our mortgage. But is that power?

Well, yes. Thanks to Obama's win, Pelosi and Reid will have a lot of power - at this moment in time. But it isn't going to last.

History is the Liberal's enemy because they tend to repeat it. All of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid ideas for America are retreads of failed liberal/socialist policies.

Liberals rarely have any new ideas. Their socialist foundation-ideology actually demands a bit of failure so that they can claim their idea would work if they just had a bit more time, another chance. The idea fails again but the same pleading continues. No matter how repeatedly their ideas are proved wrong, Liberals will beg for another chance because this time its different. Yeah, right.

This is where Conservatism shines. Our ideas are grounded in reality and experience. Conservatism is not what might work but what did work. If its not broke, don't fix it. And build upon your success.

Liberalism is let's smash everything and then fix what's left. And the mess liberalism leaves is worse than what was broken before.

My husband wrote a book, "The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don't Want You To Know About Because They Caused Them." I helped him (a tiny little bit with it).

The points he makes in his book can be extrapolated to pretty much every other liberal/socialist policy. Top of mind example, the "sexual revolution" hasn't exactly been the success Liberal women wanted - given that men seem to have treated the "sexual freedom" inherent in the "revolution" as a get-out-of-responsibility-free pass/all-you-can-get buffet.

I will post in detail about Liberal failures in ethics, science, and policy but for now, I have to say that I personally believe Harriet Tubman had far more "influence" in American politics than Nancy Pelosi ever will.
