How 'bout a good ole fashioned purge?

2006-10-11T14:41:00.000-07:00

Despite Rush's go get 'em cheerleading, WE are going to take a BATH in November.

Conservatives should go out and vote, and after said drubbing, organize for the primaries in 2008. There are more than a few "bums" to bring down......organize now, support organizations like the Club for Growth and we won't have to hold our noses over things such as.....

2300 earmarks....

Billions in UNWANTED military spending (unwanted by the PENTAGON). These nifty pet projects will be funded by taking money out of programs that the miltary DOES need, such as night site devices, etc. Great way to fight a war.

Bush and the geniouses at the WH funding such stalwarth loyal fellows such as Chaffee...while actually contributing to opposition candidates, and doing everything possible to ensure defeat for conservative candidates....and if said candidates still manages to win a primary, then having a tissy fit, and still not supporting them.

Refusing to prosecute such patriots as the NY Times when they break little laws, such as the Espionage Act. (and I thought we were at war....silly me).

Refusing to "lower ourselves" and hit the left every time they lie thru their teeth about everything from Iraq to tax reform.

We need to point out to the voters, that should conservatives win.......

Congress may actually get something done.

We may actually get a speaker who, after accepting responsibility, points out the opposition's handling of Congressmen's misdeeds, such as Barney Frank's 17 year old lover renting Frank's house out as a male whore house....Dick Armee was the one who came out and defended Frank.....by the way, may Foley rot in hell.

We may actually start to "lower ourselves" as a party and actually FIGHT for what we beleive in, for a change....instead of not bothering to bring judicial nominees, or controversial legislation to the floor, because we may loose....Lord help us if we made the Dems go on record with votes against items that have wide popular appeal.

We may even find the intestinal fortitude to secure our borders, and instead of mouthing the Chest Thumping Super Power Mantra, for once, act like a soverign nation with at leas the same rights as Mozambique (whose literacy rate among adults exceeds Detroit, by the way).

Hold gays and lesbians to the same standards as "straight" folks, instead of don't ask don't telling ourselves into Prison, in the name of the "big tent".

Actually making sure that congressional staffs, and burocrats in federal agencies do their jobs, instead of sabotaging directives which their little Stalinist hearts may not agree with.

Weed out the faction in the Pentagon who want convictions of our soldiers in Iraq, based upon political expediency rather than actual wrong doing....

A President who understands that when he sends our troops into battle, he has an obligation to protect them and us from not only foreign but domestic enimies as well.

A President who will push his agenda with facts and fight HARD for it.....instead of cute little cliche's such as "Hispanics are hardworking...etc"....Can anyone tell me of a nationality that is NOT hardworking?

Explain to the citizenry, that if they don't want to work at slave wages, and actually be able to aford the finer things in life, such as food and gas, we as a nation had better pull ourselves out of the 2d rate country we have become and start developing our natural resources again, demanding that everyone actually earn what money they receive. The Chinese opened new drilling in several places around the world....to include the gulf of mexico......Most areas of the world from where we get our oil, do not like us very much........Lord help us if we ever got the intestinal fortitude to drill our own.

A Congress and President who have the attitude of why we can do something instead of why we cannot.

The facts are thus, oh my bretheren.......many on the religious right sold out for "faith based initiatives, alienating our natural libertarian allies. N. Korea exploded a nuke(s) on the GOPs watch. Osama is still breathing, under the GOPs watch. Sadr is still breathing under the GOPs watch. Russia and China are developing and cementing their alliance, against US under the GOPs watch. Several Latin American Nations, to include Nicaragua have gone socialist to communist, under the GOPs watch. Former allies such as Germany and France, have repeatedly stabbed us in the back, Iraq resulting in the blood of our soldiers being spilled, to the cheers of their citizens, on the GOPs watch. Etc...Etc...Etc....

So now we get to have the Dems in power. Most of the GOP dim-bulbs in the Congress will probably bend over backwards to work with them "for the good of the country". Remember them for 2008. They will pull us further down the path to economic ruin, and may get many of us killed in the process.

And last, but not least....Ohio. Purge baby! THIS is where conservatives should concentrate their efforts. From Gov Taft, to cry me a river Sen Voinovich....the epitome of the corrupt and incompetant RINO paradise. With very very few exceptions (such as Congresswoman Schmidt)....throw them out!...recall them, nail them hard in the primaries. Re-make the party there....and with a bit more hard work...maybe we'll all become really fortunate and the afore mentioned Schmidt would be our first Woman President......one who would probably be up there with Reagan!

When Will We Finally Get It?

2006-09-12T09:51:00.000-07:00

We in the GOP, especially we conservatives, tend to be a bit thick headed and grossly Naive. Case in point is the current diatribe over the war in Iraq and President Bush in general.

What sin did Bush commit, that the demo base cannot wait to impeach him? The war on terror? nope. Beating Gore and then Kerry? nope. That he is sometimes conservative? nope.

Bush's great sin, that made him and we, fascists, is that he went after Saddam. Saddam had one of the last communist regimes on Earth, modeled after the Stalinist system. Bush dared go after a red, and THAT is why the left is pulling out all of the stops to get him, and us.

Following this....what we in the GOP have yet to realize, is that the current base of the democratic party does not want to "surrender" or "cut and run". They want to JOIN the insurgents. They are on THEIR side. They HATE our Republic, and want it replaced with their own Saddam.

Until we realize this, we will continue ourselves to slide into mediocrity via our own appeasement, until we find ourselves quite limited in our own freedoms, and quite powerless to legitimately regain said freedoms.

What The Hell Is Going On Up There?

2006-08-26T11:35:00.000-07:00

Haditha.....

From NewsMax.com

Sources in the Pentagon have been leaking false statements about the Haditha killings to the media. Fearing political correctness and heat from the media, they have concluded that they need a conviction of the Marines being investigated, irregardless of the facts presented.

Point: Insurgents filmed the entire attack, edited it, and shopped around until they found someone in the Western Press gullible enough to reference it.

Point: Marine investigators were on the scene within 30 minutes, and collaborated the Marine's report of what happened, with photos.

Point: DNA testing which would prove how and from whom the victims were killed, has been denied by family members of the victims.

Point: Insurgents purposely fired from civilian targets engaging the Marines in a fire-fight, as is the doctrine of the insurgents.

Point: Those killed at Haditha took fire from the Marines AND Insurgents.

Point: Rules of engagement were followed, and no civilians were targeted.

Point: The last sentence of the investigation; " "The follow-on small arms fire between insurgents and coalition forces contributed to the civilian deaths."
was left out of the released report by the Division PAO.

This is perversion. If the President wants to let Kennedy and Reid run the Senate, that is his problem. If the President only has the guts to whine and complain when the NY Times breaks the Espionage Act(s) that is also his perogative. But letting our Patriots, risk the death penalty for something that THEY DID NOT DO, because he is afraid of the press, or WILL NOT prosecute traitors in the Pentagon is beyond comprehension. Secretary Rumsfeld should immediately find out who, in the Pentagon, is trying to LYNCH our Marines, and prosecute them to the full extent of the law. Bush should be on this personally. If they will not, then they should make room for someone who will.

The insurgents, in this case as others, are guilty of war crimes for involving civilians in battle, and the WH should go after them and try them with at least the same vigor that they are trying to FRAME our Marines.

Are these the sources that Congressman Murtha has been quoting as he slandars and attmepts to have our boys executed for HIS OWN POLITICAL GAIN?

This goes way beyond politics. To send our sons and daughters to war, and fail to stand by them is cowardice and a betrayal to every uniformed person in the Military, and treason to the American People.

More Billions Lost?

2006-08-23T12:49:00.000-07:00

Just got an email from DOD. Seems that we are closing another fascility in Germany. This one will affect 14 soldiers, a little over 40 DOD civilians and a few Local National Employess. Savings should be about 9 million per year.

Nice number, this 9 million. Why?...I thought you'd never ask.....

In the early '90s, after the Soviet Union fell and Germany reunited, the US had a huge draw-down. According to several articles in Stars and Stripes, one year, we closed and turned over to the German government over 2 BILLION dollars worth of fascilities. Living up to their end of the status of forces agreement, the German Govt, of course reimbursed us.....for 9 Million dollars.

Only lost 1 Billion and 9 Hundered and 91 Dollars on that deal!

I wonder how much we're bribing they, and the rest of Europe, for their alleged cooperation in the "War on Terror". You know...Europe, who think that they are sooooooooooo much better than the US, who, after we defended their sorry asses for 50 years (and continue to do so) stabbed us in the back from the Iraq War back all the way to Vietnam; but won't spend the money to defend themselves, as long as we do, and are never tooooooooooooo good to extort money from us.

Illegal Immigration....1 million deported.....

2006-08-22T12:42:00.000-07:00

Interesting week. I had previously read Buckley's comments on illegal immigration, the gist of which being, that to deport all of the illegals would cause an unbearable trail of tears. I have, and always will respect WFB, but he is over 80 years old, and at that age, everybody deserves to get a bit sentimental, especially a patriot such as he.

Thennnnnnnnnnnn.....I heard on Right Talk Radio what happened in 1954. You see, the US had a major problem with illegal immigration then as now. Buuuuuuut we had a President, who among other things, had conquered Nazi Europe the decade before. Hence, intestinal fortitude. What Ike did, was deploy several thousand troops and immigration officials into states where the political fallout would be the least, and deported 1 million illegals. They were out of the country befor the Left had any chance for a tizzy fit. An additional couple of times that number made their way back home, across the border as well, after word went out that the govt was serious this time.

Pity we don't have another Ike at present. If Ike were president today, instead of worrying about the border, and our own GOP's chances in the November elections, we would be anticipating the destruction of what was left of the democratic party.

Enemy......

2006-08-18T01:49:00.000-07:00

Just read that france (small f intentional) is sending a "disappointing" 400 troops as part of a Peace Keeping Force, on the Israeli-Lebanese border.

That's just great. All the United States needs now, is 400 more enemy troops on Israel's northern border!

We're Finally Fighting AND Things ARE Looking Up!

2006-08-17T09:55:00.000-07:00

First: Conservatives defeat more than a few RINOs in the recent state primaries (despite the White House giving massive support to said RINOs, to include recorded telephone messages by President Bush). Second: More than a few Republican incombants and challengers have come out swinging against the Left, and I mean SWINGING HARD!

We, as a Party, may still loose the House or Senate, but will not only gain Conservative seats, but those "kinda Conservatives" are moving more staunchly into the fold.

Why may we still lose our Majorities? RINOs aren't doing so hot. This shouldn't come as any surprise, especially in the North East, where, unless they are total space cases like Senator Feingold (Ohhhhhhhh Pahleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze let him be the 2008 Nominee!) there really isn't much difference between these wanna-be Democrats and the Democrats themselves. So of course, the Lefties are going to vote in their own, and the Republicans will sit it out. Annnnnnnnnnnnnd....due to Brother Bush's absence from any substantial debate, (read that weak-knee'd) he is about as popular out there as Richard Nixon was.

Then why is this good news? This is good news because we are growing candidates again, at the grass roots level. This is good news because Republicans worth the name are fighting and fighting hard. This is good news because, not just one, but a new generation of Ronald Reagans are being developed and deployed. We may get hurt come this November, but the future looks brilliantly good for the Republic.

After this election, very very few Republicans will dare apologize for being Americans. The vast majority will go for conservative pricipals of defending the Republic, strengthening her by taking power AWAY from government (and putting it into the hands of the People, where it belongs), and pulling no punches in calling treason for what it is, and calling down the savages who would destroy us all, for what they are.

More on the movers and shakers, the organizations, and the candidates who are making this happen in tomorrows post.

When We Were Men

2006-08-16T04:03:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, there were Nazis that were not exclusive to the Islamo-Fascists. Just before the outbreak of WWII, said American Nazis were to hold a rally in New York. The master race was coming, the final solution was at hand, and in THIS country, they would ensure the gutters of NY ran with Jewish, Catholic, et al's blood.

What did our fathers do about this? Did they moan and whine aka Voinovich and Taft? Did they appease, with pleasant little hyperboles (look Mary, I got spell check! hee..hee) aka President Bush? Nope.

Walter Winchell, the legendary radio commentator, contacted Meyer Lansky, and told him of the rally. Lansky in turn, asked for help from his friend Charley Luciano, founder of the "Commission" and the modern day Mafia.

Suffice it to say, that although nobody was killed, the area's hospitals did a brisk business that evening, and the rally never got off of the ground. In fact, it was the last attempt of our home grown Fascist Scum, to meet in public again.

Now, we have protests in support of Iran, Syria, HAMAS, and Hizbullah. The same Hizbullah, that hides amongst civilians, while shooting, so that innocent lives and casualties may be bartered for good press, in this case being bad press, against Israel and the United States. The same Hizbullah, who murdered over 200 US Marines who were guilty of the crime of being peace keepers. The same Hizbullah, and other Nazi Scum, who blow up Mosques, kids, unarmed women, and just about anyone else who cannot fight back.

Now, during WWII, we had prominent Italian Americans and German Americans, denouncing the fascist regimes of the old Countries, and making it quite clear where THEIR loyalty stood. NOW, we have CAIR, ANSWER, and assorted other mass murderer wanna-be's, who are to a large extent American Citizens, making it quite clear where THEIR loyalty stands.

Is it so difficult, to bring a few buddies, as Lansky before us, perhaps unfurl and Israeli flag, or some pics of a few Islamo-Fascists who have been sent to meet their maker, and then be forced to "defend" themselves from the inevitable physical attack?`

Where are the civil suites against these animals, and the Micheal Moores of the Left? Surely, every soldier in uniform over the past few years, can show duress caused by these animals. Surely, Americans who have been the victims of these animals can show cause for damages.

We are at one of those crucial junctions in the Republic's history. We have had an enormous amount of freedom and the highest standard of living in the history of the world. And now the scum from the gutter are attempting to take it all away.

Is the Republic not worth fighting for anymore?

Political Correctness 101

2006-08-11T13:57:00.000-07:00

The Islamo-Fascist Savages have not been called down to any great extent by our glorious leaders. The following was sent to me by the Federalist Patriot, Mark Alexander. It is in its entirety.

To ensure we Americans never offend anyone -- particularly
fanatics intent on killing us -- law enforcement and security
screeners are not allowed to "profile" people in public places or
security checkpoints. However, they will continue to perform
random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots
with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members
of the President's security detail, 85-year-old congressmen with
metal hips and even Medal of Honor recipients. But targeting
Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40
constitutes "ethnic profiling."

Let's pause a moment and review....

Utah (b) An construction worker (c) A college student on Spring

In 2005 more than 50 UK citizens were killed by bombs on trains

uncovered and cell members arrested. In every case, the
terrorists cell members were: (a) Southern Baptists
Conventioneers (b) Lutheran Youth Groups (c) Presbyterian Elders
(d) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

President George Bush said this week, "America is at war with
Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us
who love freedom, to hurt our nation." The Council on
American-Islamic Relations issued an immediate objection to the
President's reference to "Islamic fascists". Nihad Awad,
executive director of CAIR protested, "We have to isolate these
individuals because there is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic
faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious or to
be criminal. Muslims world wide know that for sure." In light of
this objection, we are left to ponder why every Islamic leader in
the U.S., and the world, does not publicly condemn every terror
action being undertaken in the name of the god of Islam. Their
silence is deafening...

Between 1970 and present, there were more than 60 other notable
examples of terrorism perpetrated by Middle Eastern male
Islamists between the ages 17 and 40, but we think you get the
point. Singling out "Middle Eastern male Islamists between the
ages 17 and 40" is not "ethnic profiling," it's "terrorist
profiling" -- acting on prolific evidence.

Anyone for Terrorist Profiling?

A President Must be a Leader

2006-08-03T08:16:00.000-07:00

O'Reilly has an aricle today that hits the nail RIGHT on the head (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,206843,00.html).

Essentially saying the same thing that I have been saying, for over 2 years now....Brother Bill puts it a "bit" more eloquently....

"Unless you watch cable news or read a good newspaper, and those are rare, you'll have a hard time figuring out this dangerous and complicated world. That's where an effective leader comes in. Not only do our elected officials have to make policy, they now have to clearly explain it themselves. And they must do it over and over and over, because we're a distracted bunch."

Sound familiar?....Read on for the clincher.....

"Now if a president wants the folks to support him, he must be a teacher, a persuader. He must sell his policies to a public that's often confused"

FDR understood this. TR and President Reagan understood this. Reagan had Lee Atwater to portray his policies and get the word out in a communications machine that rivaled the Clintons (Sorry, but brother Bill Clinton also understood this).

And what have we got? President Bush and Karl Rove. Is it any wonder why I am NOT the most optomistic person regarding the upcoming elections? Anybody remember "Can anyone tell me the difference between an Arab Company and a British one (Ports Deal)? or how about his stance on illegal immigration (Hispanic AND Arab AND Eastern European AND everybody else, except apparently for the Chinese, who according to the law, really do have the right to stay here (30,000 to be deported in a deal with Bejing).....or how about over 90% of Saddam's documents, captured after the war, not even translated, let alone released....or..... how about NOT commenting on FOUND WMD for fear of backlash against are staltwarth german and frrrrrrrrrrrench allies?

We are going to get creamed.....but, after the Dems make a mess of things, look out 2008!

It seems that brother Castro is too ill to rule, so he has passed the reins to his "half wit" (at least according to Buckley) brother.

As a Christian, of course, we pray that he is "saved" and does not burn in Hell. However, it would have been nice had justice been done.

Castro, using the legitimate condemnations of Cuban conditions, ie intense poverty, turned his Isand into a prison. Those that survived his bloody purges and exterminations, as a whole had a higher standard of living, thanks to massive support from the old Soviet Union.

In exchange for said support, he pushed us to WWIII by allowing the basing of nuclear missles, aimed at us, on Cuban soil. His secret police, in the early '60s, murdered and tortured his political enemies almost with impunity, on US soil, in Florida.

He tried, without much success, to export his revolution throughout Central and South America, gaining more support here at home, than a real hold on any of the goverments there. He did well, while said governments were ruled by dictatorships, but with the blossoming of democracy, after the fall of the Soviet Union, he was treated as a legend, and ignored as far as political implementation of his goals went.

Revolutionairy, survivor (of his nemisis' Kennedy, Johnson, Reagan, Trafficante, Giancanna), murderer, dictator. More brutality and blood on his hands than the US Mafia ever had. So of course the Democrats consider him a hero, as they would love to emulate him, especially in the People's Republic of Mass.

If the old Red "kicks off", the eulogies ought to be interesting. I can here the fawning from Kennedy (who probably helped Castro, help "clip" his brother), Kerry, and Clinton Hillary (the new Three Stooges) now. Rhino Republicans knocking themselves out to out-do the Democrats in their "sorrow". Senator Voinovich will probably need an extra case of Kleenix, with all of the wailing and moaning H'ELL be doing. The way the WH is going, I wouldn't be surprised if Karl Rove called for a day of mourning.

As far as I am concerned, however, his departure to a better life, say 30 years ago, would have meant thousands would still be alive today.

Stagnation

2006-07-31T00:56:00.000-07:00

We are, a society in decline. If you would like to read an excellent series of novels, that give the basic tenants used to identify the symptoms of declining civilizations, I would suggest the Foundation Series by Asimov. Written in the genre of Science Fiction, the corollaries are never the less valid.

Stagnation, of course is the main symptom of a society in trouble. The root cause of which tends to be disunity, which leads to stopping anyone else's progress as an act of vengeance for the perceived lack of one's or one's groups' own progress.

The immediate effects, in our own Republic can be seen in literally thousands of examples. Some of the more obvious are...

Control. A declining society will make a great show of "doing" , when in actuality, it is all show. Lofty goals, that were to be achieved by control, ie legislation or court rulings, eventually are forgotten, and it is the control itself that becomes the means and the ends. This of course leads to the lofty "goals" not only never being achieved, but conditions that this control was meant to better, become progressively worse.

Gun control, is one example. The lofty goal, of course, was to reduce violent crime. In the beginning, a few laws were placed on the books, to try and keep these weapons out of the hands of criminals. Then, more legislation and judicial rulings, were aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of not only criminals, but potential criminals. The third phase, the first two having failed miserably, was to keep guns out of the hands of everybody. It was during this phase, that the goal of reducing violent crime was lost, and are current fourth phase, sees meaningless legislation passed to give the appearance of doing something, legislation from the bench in the form of successful civil suits against weapons manufacturers, which leads to an ignoring of the original problem of violent crime, and in its place extortion of said weapons manufacturers to fatten the coffers of various political groups. To whit, we have gone from a few laws, that to some extent reduced the potential of violent crime (ie. no convicted violent felons get to have a concealed weapons permit) to over 21,000 gun control laws on the books, that do absolutely nothing to stem violent crime.

Insert the words civil rights or tobacco into the above paragraph, heroin, or a host of other problematic labels, and you see the same scenario, with the same lack of result. Stagnation, much work to avoid the problem at all cost, and problems worsening.

Dr. Mike Adams, www.dradams.org, a criminologist, scholar, writer, and University Professor, by trade; Wrote that in his own discipline, Criminology has not managed to come up with a new theory or technique in over 30 years. Stagnation.

Despite other nations doing the opposite (China is an excellent example) the US has not built a major power producing facility in over 35 years. Stagnation.

Heroin for use as a pain killer, for terminally ill patients, has been repeatedly rejected by the Congress for decades now. There is no moral ground for this, as the addictiveness of the drug, is far outweighed by the elimination of pain for people who would not live long enough, in any case, to pay for the consequences of addiction. The problem is, that our enforcement structures have degraded, to the point, that the heroin could not be controlled to the point, that it would only go to those for whom it was intended, and no politician wants to be branded as soft on drugs. Stagnation.

And of course medical care itself. The federal govt, is becoming woefully short of options, for access to specific drugs in the event of epidemic. The reason is legislation passed that greatly curtails profits on said drugs. Hence, many companies that we now rely on, are located in Britain, Europe, or the third world. It costs literally billions of dollars to develop vaccines and wonder drugs. It takes years before these billions are recouped and a profit is shown. What this legislation has done, is not punish the "evil rich", but has made it impossible to develop these drugs. You cannot spend the money for research and development, if you do not have it.

Lastly, let us revisit oil again. Of all the gazillions of dollars that the "evil oil companies" have made in profit, appx. 1.5 billion is domestic. The rest is foreign, and I would venture to say, that said profits greatly fall short of those made, for example, by the Chinese or Germans (in their North Sea Platforms). Add to this that said domestic oil firms are public companies, which means that over 60% of Americans have their CD's, Mutual Funds, and Retirement Plans tied to Oil Company Profits. This means that when said firms do well, these investments do well. Conversersely, when these firms do poorly, many Americans loose money. But, NO POLITICIANS, least of all from the GOP, who should be screaming from the heights, say anything in defense of these profits, and how they BENIFIT working Americans; But instead try and weakly either blunt the assult by the Left, or join in watered down versions of "control" or propose useless legislation. Again, stagnation is the result, due to disunity, due to the propaganda of rich vs. the perceived poor.

But, these examples point to one of the real degrading factors that have infected the Republic. That is, that one who produces, works for something practical, or succeeds, is now inherently evil and must be controlled and milked, for the benefit of those who will not work for the practical.

Doom and Gloom

2006-07-27T14:14:00.000-07:00

In the latest Novak report, it is stated that the mood in the House is that the GOP will loose around 30 seats. This is referenced by a GOP House Comittee Chairman.

Also, the White House has dropped the ball on providing nominations to the Federal Judiciary. They blamed Frist, saying that he had told the WH that it was too late to get any of them thru. Sen Frist denies this, blaming it on mis-communication.

Right......The single most galvanizing issue, that led to the 2004 victories has been left to rot, as the Senate will not be getting any nominations from the WH, thus forcing the Dems either to obstruct, energizing conservatives, or not obstruct, angering their base. Miers is blamed for weak nominees and failure to produce nominees, as many slots on the Federal Bench are still empty with no nominees provided to the Senate.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this looks bad. The reasons the GOP is going way down hill.....

Failure of the WH to fight for....

ANWAR, and other domestic oil drilling. The President instead mentioned alternative energy sources in his State of the Union Speach this year......in other words, no stomach to fight the left.

Immigration. While pushing the Senate Bill, the President failed to address concerns about the consequences...ie over 60 million foreigners given citizenship in the next 2 decades, why Minute Men and others movements reported to the Mexican Govt. after first denying it, why no enforcement of existing law for the first 5 years of the Bush Admin. His record much much worse than President Clintons.

Appeasement. Why, in Michigan, they are on a roll deporting Mexicans, but have not deported ONE illegal arab immigrant (ref debbie schlussel, http://www.debbieschlussel.com). Sharon Hughes, as spokes-person for the President, apologizing to CAIR for American Prejudice. Karl Rove speaking recently before "The Race". Airport security searching everyone BUT Muslims. Letting Israel do the dirty work, eliminating Hezbollah (the murderers of countles US civilians and the Marine Peace-Keepers in the '80s), and HAMAS (also responsible for countless US civilian murders), while thumping his chest about Iran and doing nothing concrete to stop them from entering Iraq and hit our Patriots there.

Failure of a GOP Congress to curtail spending, to pass pension reform, to pass tax reform, to pass social security reform, to pass reforms on the UN, to see thru reforms at the CIA, Impuning Goss when he was fired thus enraging the House GOP Leadership, leaking that Speaker Hassart was under investigation in the Abramov scandal when this was a blantant lie, failure to enforce the law (Espionage Acts NY Tiumes and the countless national security leaks by the administrations own agencies, Rubinkov (may not deal with Countries involved in boycot of Israel), Federal Statues against nations that employ prison labor (China, etc).

The WH, through inaction, and the lack of will to fight political battles, and by failing to provide their side in controversial legislation (ie ports deal) has managed to alienate Christian conservatives, Fiscal conservatives, Law and Order conservatives, National Security conservatives, most of the House of Representatives, many in the Senate, and Black conservatives (due to this "nice negroes" pathetic speach befor the NAACP, where he did not even thing to include mention of Steele-Candidate for the Senate in Maryland).

If the President did not want to fight for his positions, he should not have run. If he still will not fight, factually with hard bare knuckles debate, and enforce the law, he should resign for whatever reason will look good.

As far as our current batch of candidates go.....most are too weak in their campaign battles. Case in point is Murtha's opponent, Diana Irey (http://www.irey.com/). She goes after Murtha on her "Out of Touch" page on her website. This should be on page one. The page lists Murtha's weaknesses. Top of the list is that he voted for House pay raises a gazillion times. Who cares? Hits him for not supporting the troops because he wants to pull out of Iraq....Say what?...Look, here is a guy who has his pic taken with Code Pink, Accuses US soldiers of Rape and Murder based upon the word of Al Queda, never mind investigating the charges to see if they are true, tellls the world's press that the US is the number one threat to peace in the world.....and all Irey can say is that he is "unsupportive" due to his call for withdrawl?

Why no mention of ABSCAM? (Murtha escaped prosecution in a plea bargian in which he testified against fellow Politicos in the House).

Sister Ivey, if this is how the Campaign is to be run you will loose big time.

Positives are that she nails him for raiding the social security fund, and claims that she is tough on border enforcement...all well and good, but why not highlight the dems lack of toughness, in particular her opponent?

As stated before, conservatives will probably gain seats, but as a whole, the GOP is going to get creamed (at least as of the moment) because, like President Bush, THEY-WILL-NOT-FIGHT.

Hello Speaker Pelosi.

Hit 'em Again!

2006-07-26T08:02:00.000-07:00

Some thoughts.......

Brother Kofi has accused the IDF of intentionally bombing a UN observation post killing 4. An investigation is quite welcome, in that if the UN "observers" acted as "nuetrally" as Annan and his stooges at the UN, then the "observers" were a legitimate target and the "fault" would have been NOT hitting them.

Annan should order his "observers" out. After all, with the IDF there, they won't be able to follow their brother UN folks in Serbia, and start Child Protestution Rings to make a quick buck.

California's power grid is strained by the weather. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh there is justice in the world after all! California has not built a new power plant, nor oil fascility for over 35 years now. Their population, however, has grown by 10 million. They want power? Then they should develope the resources that they have, and quit stealing it from Texas. Not only are they wimps, but hypocritic wimps at that.

Hizbullah....wipe them from the face of the earth. Again, they want to be the party of death? Then give them some, and let them then enjoy their after-life with Helen Thomas Virgins.......

Tehran......Why Jericho missles are not sending the Mullahs to their reward, I have now idea, but it would be nice if Olmert would actually do something with his military might, that may actually do some good. Perhaps instead of calling the Orthodox Jews worse than Hamas, he should think of the Mullahs as naked Barbara "call me KAPO" Streissands coming to get him.

Pure evil

2006-07-25T03:49:00.000-07:00

Nothing has hit us since WWII that has been so inherently evil as the Islamo-Fascists. They are, however, a good indication of how degraded our own society has become.

For instance, can you imagine a Roosevelt (TR or FDR) sending reps to bigots such as CAIR or "The Race" to apologize for American's short commings? C'mon, these guys support folks who saw off heads, treat and beat their women as subhuman, and aspire to the efficiency of Himmler in eliminating their religious and political enemies (everybody else in the world).

Some, we have no comparrison to...such as Sen Voinovich weeping....WEEPING! at the prospect of John Bolton being the official US Rep to the UN. This from a Senator from Ohio....you know, the same Ohio that Woody Hayes came from, the same Ohio whose University used to beat the devil out of everybody else in Football and just about any other sport. The people of Ohio, still seem to be pretty tough, but between Voinovich and Taft (Govenor) the GOP wimp factor has surpassed ANYTHING the dems could bring out.

Taft deserves his current 6 (yes not 60 but 6) percent approval rating. The guy is plagued with scandals so his solution is to order "sensitivity training" for his burocrats, and I am NOT making this up!

Most of the country has long been ripe for a conservative elected take over....we should start in Ohio, where most people are tough, fair minded, and well...conservative. Considering what they have to represent them, they are more than ready to take back power. And at the other end of the sword...if we cannot succeed in Ohio, where can we?

The US Should Show Leadership

2006-07-20T14:13:00.000-07:00

Malkin had an interesting tid bit....seems the German rag Der Spiegel (mirror) is complaining that the US is not showing leadership in the current war between Israel and the savages...

My response to the Lefties over there.....Why? So you bastards can stab the United States in the back again? So more US soldiers can be killed due to your obstructions at the UN? So you can score more brownie points with your Fuhrer's decendents in Iran, Syria, and Chechnya?

My take is that the US should:
-give what support that is needed to wipe these savages from the face of the Earth.
-strengthen the Lebanese Army so that the savages out of Iran can never come back, and give Israel a secure northern border.
-The structure in place, to replace both the Syrian and Iranian Dictatorships with republican forms of government, and those fascists that are left alive to stand trial for war crimes....to include the murder of our Marine Peace-Keepers in Lebanon.
-Ensure that the savages get the soonest chance to recieve their 72 Virgins, who shall all be Helen Thomas.

It's all over....thanx george

2006-05-09T09:08:00.000-07:00

I wasn't going to post, until I got the flash site up. But this is so stupid, that it is a must.

My philosophy for this comming election was, to hit the RHINOs at the primairies, but vote GOP, especially for the Senate, no matter who won. The reason, of course is that the Supreme Court nominations trumped just about everything else.

Only an act of idiocy capable of exceeding the Left would change my mind.

It did.

Seems that the border patrol has been tipping off the Mexican Govt about not only their where-abouts, but also those of every other group patroling the border. Then, of course the Mexican govt tips off the illegals, those involved in the drug trade being tipped off for a price.

Mr. Bush is in charge of border security. To placate Pres. Fox and the Lord knows who else, he has opened us up like a sieve, and intentionally put our own people into danger.

We had a good shot at holding the line in Nov. The Senate still had time to get its act together to avoid an election day debacle. The House, was not so much a problem, as conservatives were making pretty good strides. Forget it now. We'll probably not loose the House, but the Senate we can probably kiss goodbye, along with our shot at putting constructionalist judges on the court.

Thank you President Bush. If I am wrong, and we also loose the House, I hope you enjoy your impeachment. Look in the mirror, because you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Afghanistan, This is Not What We Fought For.

2006-03-19T09:53:00.000-08:00

Three facts: Man faces death penalty for converting to Christianity,
16 years ago in Pakistan.

Man faced death penalty for supporting a change to the Afghan
Constituion, giving women equal worth, as opposed to the 50% they now
enjoy.

The Heroin trade accounts for one third of the Afghan economy.

This is what I mean by "tepid" when criticising the current adminstration, as a conservative, in the war on terror. Afghanastan was ours. There was no question that the Taliban were to be driven out of power. The replacement government was one, that would ensure that the people had some say in how the government was chosen and run.

However, without basic rights protected by a Constitution, this cannot happen. It would be proper, altho, not palitable, to pass laws that are restrictive (Women only worth 50%). But, in order for a democracy to function, the People must always have regress to change these laws. The Death penalty imposed because someone calls for a law to change is not democracy, but dictatorship.

Freedom of religion is a tennant of any civilized nation. Again, the fact that this man will face death unless he "reconverts" is abhorent enough. That death is also the penalty for calling for the change
of this law, is not democracy.

With all of the resources we have put into the "war on drugs", to have allowed the Poppy Fields to flourish, is unforgiveable. Again, after the combat missions were successfull, it would have taken very little to take out said fields, and impose upon any new government the requirement to ensure that these fields stayed taken out.

The Iraq war is now 3 years old. The War on Terror almost 5 years old. In this same span of time, the United States, acting largely alone, had conqured Nazi German, the Empire of Japan, and liberated all of Western Europe, and non-British Asian in the process.

Despite the magnificient performance of our troops, this war has been conducted with a half baked determination, and relatively no resources. Again, compared to the Second World War, we would have had to commit over 1 trillion dollars, and close to 20 million soldiers to meet the standard we set for ourselves, in those days. We haven't even come close to 10% of that effort. And the War on Terror, as the War on Drugs that proceeded it, will either be lost, or never be resoved one way or the other, and only because a lack of will by our elites.

We will eventually commit the resources and resolve necesarry to win this war, but I fear, only after another catastrophic attack upon our soil. There are many nuclear weapons missing from the old Soviet inventories, as assessed by General Levit in the late '90s. How to make such weapons, has been well known by most Nations, for many years now. And although this administration has made astonishing progress in disrupting and destroying the paths by which Nations sought to acquire the materials needed for Nuclear Weapons Production, on the battle and propaganda fronts, it has been a miserable failure in strategic planning and implementation.

It is a shame, that we shall continue to live, with so many threats to the Republic, when these threats could have been eliminated, had we been only half the men our fore-fathers were.

Goodbye Internet

2006-03-16T01:05:00.000-08:00

This post is a quickie.....basically our GOP House is considering legislation that will end the internet as we know it. The way it will be enforced, as we all know, is that if you are a Conservative blogger or Web Master, you are out of business Bubba. Those that decide to "grow" and start Kow-towing to the likes of George Sorros, Moveon.org, etc have a shot at becomming quite wealthy, however.

I am posting this reference in its entirety. I am however, adding one point of contact that is quite important, and may be the only viable one to fight this.

Please contact the Republican Study Committee...Rep Mike Pence Chairman. The URL is here:

Click here (http://www.house.gov/pence/rsc/). This is our block of conservative Representatives, over 100 strong. Their own throats will be slit if this passes, as will ours.

The missive is as follows:

Center for Individual Freedom
Dear Friend:
Why after so many years of fighting to keep the Internet largely free of regulation and taxation are some lawmakers and Internet companies now advocating for increased regulation of the Internet?
The United States House of Representatives may consider a provision that will lead to regulation of the Internet. Please contact your Representative in Congress and Majority Leader Boehner and ask them to keep the Internet free of regulation.
Use the hyperlink below to send your personalized letter to your Representative in Congress and Majority Leader Boehner today!
http://www.townhall.com/link_redirect.html?id=105
Last week, several news publications -- citing anonymous sources -- reported that new legislation to regulate the Internet (so-called “net-neutrality”) will be considered as part of a telecom reform bill currently being debated in Congress.
Over the past few months, proponents of so-called “net-neutrality” regulation have been using scare tactics with the general public and our elected officials – demanding legislation for a problem that doesn’t even exist! Even the Wall Street Journal calls these proponents’ tactics “silly” and dismisses the notion that it is the “end of the Internet as we know it.”
Some major corporate interests like Google and Yahoo! would like for you to believe they are David facing Goliath -- claiming that broadband providers like Comcast, Cox and AT&T will keep you from accessing their products.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Never, in the history of the Internet, has a broadband provider blocked a customer from accessing their Yahoo! Mail or Google search engine. Yet, these companies want Congress to enact legislation that will protect them from this non-existent problem.
Ironically, these calls for the government to become the Internet’s traffic cop are being led by companies like Google, which only a short time ago made headlines when it chose to cooperate with the Communist leadership of China.
Remember when Google caved to the Chinese government and agreed to block access to all information and websites that speak about freedom and democracy? When they agreed to censor all information that discusses Tiananmen Square and independence for Taiwan – or anything else that can be interpreted to go against the interests of China’s Communist leadership?
Can you believe it’s supposed conservative lawmakers who are now cow-towing to these interests and offering to legislate and regulate the Internet in response to these ridiculous demands?
We have witnessed the success of the Internet and all that it does: brings families closer, grows economies, creates a new generation of entrepreneurs and increases access to information for people all over the world. All this with little, if any interference from the government.
The Internet must remain free from government regulation and taxation!
Contact your Representative in Congress and Majority Leader Boehner today! Ask them to reject calls to regulate the Internet. And, ask them to urge their colleagues to do the same.
Use the hyperlink below to send your personalized letter to your Representative in Congress and Majority Leader Boehner today!
http://www.townhall.com/link_redirect.html?id=105
Sincerely,
Jeff Mazzella President Center for Individual Freedom www.cfif.org

Don't think that you can ignore this leglislation if it becomes law. They will sick the IRS on you, at a minimum. Other enforcement jurisdiction would also be FBI and the Federal Marshall Service.

Let this pass, and say hello to a Ted Kennedy lead Congress, and Howard Dean finally realizing his dream of the Presidency.

RSC Renews Contract With America

2006-03-14T11:56:00.000-08:00

RSC Renews Contract With America

Ignoring the White House (A REALLY smart move these days) the Republican Study Committee, announced a renewed Contract With America, which espouses the same principles of the original for today's challenges.

The budget proposal is the most exciting. Without touching Social Security, without touching the military, and with the added benefit of making Medicare into block grants, this budget trims 400 billion in spending….NOW. Earmarks, such as the bridge to nowhere would be rescinded.

click here for the RSC website

As I’ve stated before, the GOP will probably loose seats this cycle. But with the renewed vigor of the conservative movement, as embodied by the RSC, conservatives will actually gain seats.

An example of this, is as follows….from a Democrat no less!!!!!!

Cuellar, in Texas has won the Dem primary against Rodriguez. This is important for conservatives, because Cuellar has supported the war on terror, the war in Iraq, and President Bush more often than he supports the left wing lunatics in his own party. He was targeted for defeat by the Left, and the Party Leadership. Last time around he barely squeaked thru. This time around, he trounced the competition. And because virtually the entire Democratic Party apparatus opposed him, he owes nothing to anybody. He can and most certainly will, make life miserable for the Lefties in Congress next term.

Source: Evans and Novak Political Report at Human Events Online
Click here

And lastly…..Senator Frist has again shown his penchant for foot in mouth disease. The latest comment is that it was still possible to get the UAE Ports deal through. Real Smart Bill. Just when we get this behind us, with 19% of the public for it, you have to bring the thing up again! And in the manner of John Kerry, against it before you were for it. Unbelieveable!

We're Still Paying a Special Tax For The War....The Spanish AmericanWar, That Is.....

2006-03-13T12:35:00.000-08:00

I just ran across this at the Washington Policy Center. The author is Roy A. Berg. The gist of the story is, that in 1898, the Congress enacted a telephone tax (then a luxury item) to pay for the Spanish American War. A temperary tax. Well, we're still paying the thing. Not only are we still paying the original tax, but it has expanded with technology to include cell phones, internet lines, etc.

The tax takes in about 4.8 billion dollars annually. One would think that the Spanish American War (which we won, by the way) would have been paid for several times over by now. One would also think, that a GOP Congress and a GOP President would have no problem repealing such a thing, once it was brought to their attention.

Wrong on both counts. It is going thru, as usual, the court system. Once it reaches the Supreme Court, its validity may be recinded. That something as stupid as this must go thru the courts, and not just be repealed by the Congress....A REPUBLICAN Congress really says it all about the last few years.

And we wonder why we are going to loose our socks come November.
