Bunker Hill and the Phoenix Americanus

A Big Win for Patriotic Freedom Loving Americans

While I am still gathering information it seems that Republicans (and, American Patriots) came away with 6 big wins:

1) DEFUND OBAMACARE
2) DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
3) DEFUND NPR 
4) $32 BB in cuts (in theory, at least)
5) Public Congressional & Senate Votes on each Issue
6) Factually showing Democrats as unwilling to pursue responsible governance

Remember, Democrats, with their 2/3rds majority in both Houses had 18 months to pass a budget, and hadn’t and they clearly obstructed this effort with claims that the 0.86% in Budget Cuts are "draconian"!

Seriously!  Only the most hateful, kool aide drinking liberal will buy this tripe and deny that the Dems are the problem. Them and true real life, brain dead “Jay Walkers” (Leno) who can tell us exactly the up-to-date American Idol standings and latest Snookie scandal, but can’t seem to find “America” on a world map.

Monument to the Battle of Bunker Hill & Breeds Hill, Boston, MA

For Patriots, this is actually a huge strategic victory, despite its seemingly insignificant budget cuts - much like the Patriots’ Bunker Hill loss, which actually cleared the way for the American victory and freedom years later.

The Battle of Bunker Hill (and Breed's Hill) was won by the British, but at such a great cost that they implemented two failed strategies that cost them the war.

First, they immediately evacuated Boston for the remainder of the war.  They knew they could only conquer and hold Boston if they conquered the rest of the Colonies, first. To do so, they pursued a sectional strategy to divide the colonies in two (a “house divided”) and split their thin troop resources to do so.

Cornwallis never left the south until Washington was able to defeat him with the slow arriving French Navy.

Second, the British concluded that the unique kinship New Englander brothers, uncle and cousins had to protecting each other in battle existed in other colonies. Thus, England decided they would never fight unless they were assured an overwhelming victory. This is why Washington, a fairly good war general, could not win most battles. Just the fact the British were fighting meant they concluded they had overwhelming resources and positions against Washington.  And, often they truly did.

Thus, the British lost the Revolutionary War because of failed strategies forced upon them by their "win" at Bunker Hill (Breed's Hill).

Back to yesterday’s Budget Battle, the Dems protected themselves against real budget cuts for the moment, but I believe they have now lost the entire liberal war for ObamaCare, against real entitlement reform, socialist debased spending, socialized governance, and more.

Beginning now, Democrats will have to go on record with real votes, and real budgets determined by real debates, in public - something called democratic transparency that they tried to eradicate.  They will then be held accountable in the 2012 elections for their public votes and nationally destructive advocations.

Patriotic Congress will now push strategically weakened Democrats to reform Medicare, Medicaid, taxes, and cut $100-200 Billion/year of non-military spending. These successes will happen more and more, all while Obama attacks Republicans more and more for fixing our embarrassing and fatal national problems. Open minded independents will continue to flee as they see him for who he really is.

Next month Republicans and Tea Partiers will have another "bite at the apple" when the Federal Government reaches its statutory debt limit. They are in a strong position to push even harder for more concessions.

Liberals are cooling to Obama.  I think that after this Budget debacle; the experience of the 2/3rds Democrat Majority not passing a Budget FOR 18 MONTHS; Obama’s initiation of the Libyan War WITH NO PLAN OR PUBLIC REASONING, or CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL; the on-going Middle East Meltdown; out of control sky high gas prices; his pursuing Gitmo Military Trials; ongoing Iraq obfuscation; his now incurring 60% of all war casualties since the beginning of the Afghanistan; and incurring the loss of forced government collections of Union Dues; ObamaCare being illegally foisted on America and now defunded, (nevermind the upcoming Supreme Court ruling ObamaCare as unConstitutionality); the dozen of so states mandating proof of citizenship for POTUS election; and more.... the liberal ardor for this inexperienced, undocumented, two-faced, Community Organizer will drop to unprecedented historic ho-hum levels.

Further, with lackluster support by Zombie Unions and liberal media, the “Jay Walkers” wont even know there’s an election in 2012, never mind who to vote for.

What does my cracked crystal ball show?

1    Continued 2012 GOP electoral success;

2    a new president in 2012

3    further erosion of the Union death grip on the Public Trough and Taxpayer wallet (thus lower Democratic donations and election day free labor)

4    and possibly, finally, the beginning of the successful, long awaited Patriotic resurrection of that rarest of political birds, the “Phoenix Americanus”.

What do we Patriots have to do?

1    Keep pushing forward, now with even greater determination!

• Remember, it is not who is ahead mid-race, but who crosses the finish line ahead!
  

2    Keep our focus on Big Picture Issues, and hold back on nuance bickering.

• In initiating his POTUS campaign, Lincoln noted, "A house divided against itself cannot stand,"

3    Politely educate moderate independents to the self-evident realities.

• Hammering people who MIGHT disagree only pushes them away, regardless of our accuracy. Patiently inform other thinking Americans of the real world facts.

4    Be inclusive.  Don’t push away those who agree with us!

• For example, 61% of Hispanics support Arizona, and disagree with Illegal Immigration. But, almost all hate Conservative attacks on Hispanics... legal or illegal. Sharron Angle’s ethnic slurs and attacks cost America the sacking of Harry Reid, and look where we are now... wasting our time and resources fighting him!

5    Pray.

• America needs a miracle. Fortunately our great Christian Nation was founded to worship our God who is in the miracle business!

“Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn,

and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.”

Hosea 6:1              

Blessings, my fellow Patriots! Now onto 2012!
