American Thinker April 28, 2011The conventional attitude along Connecticut Avenue and K Street has been, and still remains to this day, that
the most important attribute of being a Republican and an opposition party
is to challenge on a most civil basis the agenda of the Democrats while remaining within the social circle and invitation list of the so-called movers and shakers in Washington. However, this is a company town whose only industry is the government and the overwhelming attendant businesses of lobbying and the media. Thus
the city is controlled by the Left who tolerate those conservative intellectuals and pundits who easily break bread at the de rigueur restaurants and social occasions with the Democrats.
The disdain of the Left in Washington D.C.
for the conservatives and Republicans is palpable and they have no compunction of doing to or saying the most vile things about their opponents. Having lived around and done business in the area for most of my life, it has always amazed me how easily and comfortably someone of a conservative bent who, after spending only a few years within the Beltway, slips into the conventional mold and is changed forever while denying it is happening to them. That is why, regardless of who occupies the White House or controls Congress, the country has continued to slid into it's current precarious state.
When the Democrats are in charge the process accelerates,
when the Republicans are in charge the process slows but moves inexorably forward.

I saw this and had to post. Really sums up some of what Ive believed for a long time now, but especially with the behavior of the current GOP leadership that seeks to curry favor with the 0bama regime. I just knew I couldnt be the only one who understands this.
