Right In Florida

Motto: This is what happens when Insanity and Banality come together.

Name:
Location: North Central Florida, United States

I'm an aging boomer, white male (cue scary music); not religious, mostly conservative. Married to the same woman forever. No kids-by choice (I believe in personal choice in most areas of life). Voted mostly Republican until November 2000 when the national Democrats tried to steal the election in Florida. I promised to never again vote for another Democrat; kept that promise to date.

Conservatives Are Becoming a Whiny Bunch...and Sounding Like Losers

I've noticed and grown completely tired of the whining of my fellow conservatives when it comes to most things President has recently done or hasn't done. Too many of my favorite bloggers and conservative commentators have been, individually and as a group, participating in a whine-fest since Hurricane Katrina. We don't need liberals, leftists or Democrats (yeah, I'm being redundant); we are our own enemies. Yes, I know "we" say we're being fair and that therefore we're better than liberals, et al, because we criticize our own. But I don't think "we" are being fair. We are far along on the road to becoming losers.

Christ, suck it up guys! There's a vital struggle for America's future going on.

This is not a classroom debate or parlor game. While you're second-guessing the decisions and parsing every statement and examining the minutiae, how about doing it in an evenhanded and supportive way? That would still make us so much better...and more honest...than liberals.

UPDATE
The above complaint does not include Hugh Hewitt. He is spot on regarding the President's speech to the nation on 9/15. He points out the positives, which really are the main points. He doesn't piss and moan about subtext.
