Sunday Review-Fox News Sunday

Schumer v. Graham. A pretty good undercard while we await the main event with Gingrich v. Dodd. Chris Wallace did a very good job of letting both Senators make their arguments.

You’ve got to love the Dems employment of Chuck Schumer as the front man on government ethics. First, Schumer, who looks increasingly like Meyer Lansky as he ages, doesn’t evince Boy Scout as one’s first image when he talks.

Second, Schumer’s hypocrisy when talking about Alberto Gonzales is stunning, truly stunning. Without advancing one specific fact, other than Democrats or their MRD conclusory accusations of wrong doing in firing US District Attorneys he attacks Al Gonzales for politicizing the AGs office. Same with the WoT intelligence programs-the Bush Administration has won virtually every case on intelligence authority yet there must have been something illegal about pressing their universally vindicated legal position on the Justice Department. The problem is that Schumer and the rest of liberal attack machine unleashed the same vicious slander on Republicans when we were discussing Janet Reno’s notorious concealment of the Clintons, Gore and their high level cabinet officials’ involvement in criminal fundraising with the Chinese Communist government or when litigating against the United States to conceal Bill Clinton’s perjury and obstruction of justice.

Lindsey Graham was quick to defend the immigration compromise. Lindsey criticized opponents of the compromise who have not offered alternatives. Both Schumer and Graham appeared to emphasize the practical nature of the compromise. This does serve to remind everyone that no one gets everything they want.

Graham provided little support for Gonzales. The lack of Republican support for the Attorney General appears to be rather personal in nature. We shouldn’t let that personal animosity allow the Democrats to mischaracterize us as somehow dishonest. If history teaches anything it’s the ability of the Democrat MRDs to circulate the most obvious of lies before we get our boots on so we cannot ever pass the chance to refute their dishonest premises and high light their hypocricy.

The Wallace interview with Sandra Day O’Connor was almost wasted air space. Unlike politicians, retired judges aren’t likely to offer opinions for the guidance of future courts.

Our raison d'ĂȘtre here at TRS

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill

We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.

In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.

Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.
