We Fight On. There’s No Such Thing As A Lost Cause…

by Scott Morales

“If we take the widest and wisest view of a Cause, there is no such thing as a Lost Cause, because there is no such thing as a Gained Cause. We fight for lost causes because we know that our defeat and dismay may be the preface to our successors’ victory, though that victory itself will be temporary; we fight rather to keep something alive than in the expectation that it will triumph.” —T.S. Eliot

I’m a software guy with a penchant for football, hockey, music, current events and politics -- mostly current events and politics. Having driven several conversations to silence while discussing the latter items, it has been intimated that I should blog about it; to purge it from my system so that we may return to enjoying social events and cocktail parties. Kind of like drawing venom from a snakebite so that the body may return to health. The body, in this clumsy metaphor, is the social life of my wife:0) So, game on! I’ve got opinions and I hope to persuade and look forward, in return, to be persuaded.

    There IS such a thing as a lost cause. I can think of two examples:

    1) The Tea Party
    2) The “Free-State” movement!

    MY HEART FEELS LIKE AN ALLIGATOR!!!!!

      But your back side looks like an elephant.

        Not sure if the elephant remark is referencing the Republican mascot or not. As you should know by now I’m not a Republican or a Democrat but an unenrolled independent. If it was about my physique I assure you I don’t look like an elephant. at 45 I’m in better shape than I was at 35. 6’2″, 210 lbs, work out regularly, with tone, definition and no spare tire. I’d say I look more like a 3.5-5.5 yo age-class whitetail buck in full rut.

          so….who cares?

            Well Rick, you’d have to ask CC dog e doG that question – he’s the one who brought it up.

          Looks are deceiving, aren’t they Flute boy. Enjoy your golden years gumming tapioca, or whatever your Chinese overlords decide to feed an aged, narcissistic parasite.

    Hmmm, what’s wrong with this picture: Libs and their spawn – the bureaurats and drones – rely on the industrious worker-class to finance their make-nothing lifestyle. Might a change in strategy be in order, at least in the Grate State of New Hamsters?

      Welcome to hell…What size handbasket do you require?

        Sadly, it took me awhile to get it; hell must have temporarily frozen over. Maybe the way to finally rid us of these ticks, drones, and bureaucrats is let them bankrupt the Grate State of New Hamsters, which will force the rodents to scurry back to MA-MA Land for their benies. Then we burn the diseased body politic in a funeral pyre and start over: “Congress of the Great State of New Hampshire shall make no law.”
