Political Graveyard

I heard it again the other day…

Republicans are too far to the right – they need to move more toward the center.

This is a lie from the Liberal pit of hell. But I’m hearing it from Republican leaders.

Have they forgotten that this very idea, this “Republicans need to move toward the center” philosophy, did not originate with the Republicans? Statements like these originated with the Liberal left. The Congressmen, media pundits and other left-wing representatives started this train of thought back before George Bush Sr. was in office. And the stupid Republican hierarchy bought into it, and made it their own.

“Republican” used to be synonymous with “Conservative”, but that was a long time ago.

The Liberals won that battle. They indoctrinated the Republicans by their constant chant in the Republic ear: “Move toward the center…move toward the center…move toward the center.”

This is what gave us mediocre, non-productive Republican control of Congress during the Clinton and George W Bush years.
This is what caused the tables to turn and allow a Democratically controlled Congress.
This is what gave us John McCain.
This is what gave us Barack Hussein Obama in the White House.

This caused Conservatives to retreat into a political graveyard.

Conservatives started becoming frustrated during the Clinton years.
They started becoming discouraged during the Bush senior years.
They became apathetic during the W. Bush years.
They refused to vote in 2008.

This allowed less than 25% of the population of the United States to put BHO in office.

At that point, they nearly gave up completely.

Then the tea parties began...

... and hope began to surface – there ARE more of us out there than we thought…But many other conservatives are still waiting. They aren’t all dead yet – just lying in their political graveyard.

This will be the downfall of the Republican party unless it adopts a new mantra:

“Move toward the right… Move toward the right… Move toward the right.”

Put a Reagan conservative on the ballot for 2012 and watch the graves open.

Here's a link to pictures of the Tea Party from all over the country. I think the sleeping giant has been awakened.

Schmidt and the GOP Just Don't Get It

McCain’s closest advisor in his presidential campaign was a man by the name of Steve Schmidt. Schmidt spoke before the Log Cabin Republicans , a group of homosexual men and women who claim to stand for Conservative values…but that’s another post.

Schmidt criticized the GOP for using the Bible as a “rationale for gay marriage opposition”. He is urging the Republican party to shift even further to the left by supporting civil unions and gay marriage.

Here are several things from the article that didn’t make sense:

Schmidt predicted gay marriage will create a bigger and bigger divide between the GOP and the electorate in the years ahead. He said that as young voters age, they may adopt conservative views on the economy and national security -- but they will not abandon liberal, social beliefs.

“I believe Republicans should re-examine the extent that we are being defined by positions on issues that I don't believe are among our core values," he said,”

They may not be your core values Schmidt. But they are the core values of those voters who have most loyally supported the Republican Party. It is because the GOP is abandoning these core values that it is losing its base support. It’s one of the reasons the GOP lost the Presidential election.

“The rapid growth of the Hispanic-American population for instance could soon cost Republicans the entire southwest if we don't recover our previous share of the vote," he said.”

The rapid growth is the result of lax border protection and the refusal of the government to crack down on illegals. You should be urging enforcement of our immigration laws and doing something to STOP the rapid growth of illegals in this country.

Take a look at the tea parties, Schmidt. I guarantee you most of these people were either Republican or Independent. And they are sick and tired of the Republican party giving them the cold shoulder.

If we wanted to support abortion, homosexual marriage and illegal immigration, we would have voted for Obama.

You just don’t get it. Neither, obviously, do most of the chief pundits within your dying party.

If you don’t want to lose your voter base, you need to quit listening to the opposition and go back toward the right economically and socially.

Otherwise, why not just step across the aisle right now and stay there.

Tea Party Terrorists

The Tea Party I attended was huge - between 4000 and 5000 people. People like me. Mostly Christian, conservative, family oriented, for smaller government, for small business, for less taxation, for enforcement of our borders against illegals, for the sanctity of life, for freedom, for states' rights, for the Constitution and all its amendments.... Oops...wait a minute ...I think I just described a huge crowd of potential terrorists!

Take a look at some of these potentially threatening right-wing extremists:









Funny. I didn't see any violence. Out of 4-5000 people there with signs, I only saw 2 or 3 that would be considered "offensive". Everyone was polite. I felt safe.
And do you know what all these 1000s of radical right-wingers did when they left the city municipal grounds? They picked up their own trash and left the place spotless.

They sure didn't look or act like terrorists to me...but then, the government always knows best, doesn't it?

Another Conservative Blogger to watch

I'm adding someone to my blogroll, and invite my visitors to check out Ron's blog, "What's the Word?". Here is one of his recent posts:

28th Amendment: Housing is a Right!

A Real Conservative Voice

This guy speaks for a lot of us. The passion he has to defend conservatism and Christianity is sorely lacking in many of our camp. That's why McCain lost.
