A Lady's Ruminations

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Do I Believe Him? Hell No!

I started making dinner and simply forgot that President Bush was going to address the nation until about 5:16pm. So, I saw about 3 minutes of his speech. Perhaps my subconcious knew I didn't want to hear a bunch of open borders talk, so I blocked out the time.

Lots of other people watched the speech. Here is Christi's take, from CommonSenseAmerica:

I just watched 20 minutes of the biggest bunch of BS that I think I've ever seen. The thing that really makes my fur stand on end is that this man can look us straight in the eye and arrogantly try to shove his agenda down our throat by implying that we should be compassionate and accepting of the lawlessness in our nation by rewarding those who have spit on our legal system.

Every last one of his enforcement proposals were dangled before us back in the 1986 amnesty program. Every last one of them, except for the amnesty, never came to fruition.

That we can be a nation of laws and compassion is impossible if our laws are not upheld, no matter how our President tries to sell it. If our laws are so insignificant to even our own President that he would allow them to be ignored by anyone, ANYONE, then we are not a nation of laws and compassion but merely a nation of compassion alone. At that point, we are no longer Compassionate Conservatives but merely bleeding-heart, tree-hugging, give-it-all-away-so-they-don't-hurt-us liberals.

Make no mistake, this is a man that I have viciously defended for the past 5 years. This is a man that had my total loyalty. This is a man that I trusted and believed in and what do I get? What do all Conservative Republicans get in return?

Betrayal.

Unadulterated betrayal.

This is how someone must feel when they come home and find their spouse in bed with another lover. I honestly don't know how to better express the level of betrayal I feel at this moment.

That a so-called Conservative could have such disregard for our nation and its laws is absolutely appalling. It is nothing less than treasonous to look law abiding American citizens in the eye and say that no matter how you feel, we will do it my way and I'm siding with foreigners who have broken our laws. He basically told us that if we don't see it his way, then we are not being wise or realistic.

I have defended this man against liberals that have called him arrogant and a cowboy and dangerous. Never again.

To all of the liberals I have ever debated, I sincerely apologize. I was wrong. This man is freaking dangerous. This man is willing to sell out our nation.
