A coward dies a thousand deaths

The party of giants like Lincoln and Roosevelt, men who fought wars for what was just and right are turning in their graves. What the Republicans (I use that term loosely) did was one of the most cowardly political acts I have seen since Obama bowed to the Saudi Sheikh. Modern day politics seem to take absolutely no courage to perform. On either side, giving in, is now seen as a victory. The left encourages Americans to become more dependent on the government. The right is now encouraging Americans to give in even when you know it's for the best.

Shakespeare was right what is happening now is the act of cowards dying day after day in the battle to save our country from tyranny. What nobility would have been displayed if the party had held the line and gone over the cliff that was the manufactured default precipice. The courage was not to go to the edge, the courage would have been to jump.

There were a handful of brave politcal soldiers in both the Senate and the congress but I won't lump you braves into the party. Those men now represent the thin gray line that may keep Obamaism from conquering our nation and turning us into New Europe. As Senators and Congressmen posted they were immediately attacked. Not by left-wing trolls, but by loyal right-wing followers angry at their lack of guts and fight.

Time and time again I saw statement about a Republican saying they were leaving the party or starting a new party. My suspicion is that these disgruntled Republicans will begin to fill the void and the ranks of what Democrats hate the most, Tea Party members. Lefties may be cheering now that they have destroyed the Republican party for years to come but what I see coming is a backlash of even more Ted Cruz like figures replacing the Rhinos in congress. This new breed I guarantee you won't blink. They should have left a sleeping Tiger lay.

Some might think that it's time to regroup. I tell you that it's time to plug in. If you're as angry and disappointed as I am, make a decision to channel that anger towards activism. We've spoken about before on Ricantotheright, a letter,  an e-mail, a blog. Start small, gain your strength and speed then get involved in the process. This won't happen overnight but if we Realist begin to exercise our politcal muscles in a few years we willbe strong enough to turn this dangerous Socialist red tide.
