As a conservative, I would rather go over the cliff fast and furious. Than suffer a slow death. As our polatic becomes more liberal. And the so call political center moves very slowly to the left. The true right wing conservative like Ron Paul were left behind along time ago. Like 80 years ago. And the right keeps moving to the left. The fact is that the true moral conservative have to say no to the immoral progressive left. That has poluted the right. And that sounds extermist to the left. They will ban the bible, free speech, by fairness doctrine, and ban our guns also considered extremist.
The problem is that they won’t be content for us to be in the “wilderness”, we must be made over, into correct citizens. They already have our children now it’s only a matter of getting the old folks out of the way.
Before the Deluge...
“The Obama Presidency will produce untold millions for these guys because frustration and hate is something you can take to the bank...”
Hey, they should know. Their liberal sites (which shall be nameless because of the contamination of evil) raised not only the bar as far as how many profane, blasphemous and absolutely hateful slurs, pejoratives, bigoted comments, and complete lies could be mentioned in their posts, but also the template on how to raise money.
Thanks folks.
The money raising part is SO VERY USEFUL.
They seem to assume the world will be filled with cute little bunnies, children singing and magic fairy dust for the next four years. Something bad will happen; it always does (Biden even predicted it).
Then we will see the true measure of the man-child who has been elected to lead this country. The moonbats will still be ok with whatever he does. But there will be enough who will come to their senses and begin to fix this mess in 2010.
I thought Bill O used Talking Points Memo?
How quickly these knuckleheads forget the 1966 election. Or if you want a more recent example, the 1994 election.
Personally, I find that the -only- redeeming characteristic of Obama’s election is that I will feel no obligation whatsoever to defend the policies of the President. What a refreshing change that will be from Bush and McCain. I imagine that many conservative writers and radio voices feel the same.
The Chicago Tribune just reported a third quarter loss of 124 million. How did Rush do in his last quarter?
Rasmussen:
“31% of voters thought that a President Obama would cut their taxes. Only 11% expected a tax cut from a McCain administration.”
This speaks volumes. Obama has basically promised billions of dollars of new spending, but people somehow fell for this.
John McCain hates spending, and probably would have cut taxes, but he was not able to articulate it - or perhaps the media delibrately smothered the message.
The stock market did not seem so easily fooled.
This was the media’s election. They went all out to protect Obama and treated McCain like they did Bush. When I spoke to people .. this weekend, the Obama voters were not leftists. They were the ignorant types who really hadn’t tuned in more than to buy the happy enthusiasm from the media. Most had no idea what the man really stood for at all. 6
Actually, bubba clinton campaigned in 92 for tax cuts. However, after entering office he “discovered” he was not able to despite the “hard work he did” and we received the largest tax increase in history. [ushering in the Republican landslide in 1994] 11
“Never write a check with your mouth that your ass can’t cash” What a coincidence.That’s the same excuse the last Democrat president used to cancel his promised tax cuts. 5
The last 3 weeks before the election, when the most ignorant of the sheeple were watching, Obama campaigned as a conservative, “95% of Americans will get a tax cut, yada yada ... “ Too bad the Republicans didn’t have a conservative at the top of their ticket. 14
Hoyer: Don’t count on Obama delivering on promises
CNN News Live | 11/10/08 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2129373/posts
Just on CNN, Congressional Democrat Hoyer talking about all the promises Obama made to win the election. In rather blunt terms, Hoyer cautioned that, because of all the “conservative Dems” that have been elected to Congress, no one should expect any of Obama’s tax cut promises to actually happen for, oh, “12-24 months,” if then because, you know, the economy is in bad shape and many new Dems will balk at further increasing the national debt (now at $11 trillion), blah, lie, blah. This may be the all-time record of a Democrat announcing that last week’s promises are, ah, ‘no longer operative.’ Hoyer suggested that since Obama has had his first highly classified briefing on the world economy, he may be forced to back-off on his campaign pledges.
The Polls Show That Reaganism Is Not Dead
By SCOTT RASMUSSEN

Barack Obama won the White House by campaigning against an unpopular incumbent in a time of economic anxiety and lingering foreign policy concerns. He offered voters an upbeat message, praised the nation as a land of opportunity, promised tax cuts to just about everyone, and overcame doubts about his experience with a strong performance in the presidential debates.
Does this sound familiar? It should. Mr. Obama followed the approach that worked for Ronald Reagan. His victory confirmed that voters still embrace the guiding beliefs of the Reagan era.
During Reagan’s campaign, the nation suffered from high unemployment and high inflation. This time around, data from the Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll showed that Mr. Obama took command of the race during the 10 days following the collapse of Lehman Brothers — when the Wall Street meltdown hit Main Street. Before that event John McCain was leading nationally by three percentage points. Ten days later Mr. Obama was up by five and never relinquished his lead.
Mr. Obama’s tax-cutting message played a key role in this period of economic anxiety. Tax cuts are well-received at such times: 55% of voters believe they are good for the economy. Only 19% disagree and see them as bad policy.
Down the campaign homestretch, Mr. Obama’s tax-cutting promise became his clearest policy position. Eventually he stole the tax issue from the Republicans. Heading into the election, 31% of voters thought that a President Obama would cut their taxes. Only 11% expected a tax cut from a McCain administration.
The last Democratic candidate to win the tax issue was also the last Democratic president — Bill Clinton. In fact, the candidate who most credibly promises the lowest level of taxes has won every presidential election in at least the last 40 years.
But while Mr. Obama was promising to cut taxes, the Bush administration took the lead on a $700 billion, taxpayer-backed bailout bill — with very little marketing finesse. Few Americans supported the bailout, and a majority of voters were more concerned that the government would do too much rather than too little. In terms of getting the economy going again, 58% said that more tax cuts would better stimulate the economy than new government spending.
A Rasmussen survey conducted Oct. 2 found that 59% agreed with the sentiment expressed by Reagan in his first inaugural address: “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” Just 28% disagreed with this sentiment. That survey also found that 44% of Obama voters agreed with Reagan’s assessment (40% did not). And McCain voters overwhelmingly supported the Gipper.
The real challenge for the new president will be attempting to govern with a message that resonates with most voters but divides his own party. Consider that 43% of voters view it as a positive to describe a candidate as being like Reagan, while just 26% consider it a negative. Being compared to Reagan rates higher among voters than being called “conservative,” “moderate,” “liberal” or “progressive.” Except among Democrats, that is. Fifty-one percent of Democrats view that Reagan comparison as a negative. There’s Mr. Obama’s dilemma in a nutshell.
Mr. Obama won the White House promising tax cuts, but he will be governing with a Democratic Congress bursting with desire for a more activist government. As he faces this challenge, he might remember the fate of another man who made taxes the central part of his campaign: the first President Bush, whose most memorable campaign line — “Read my lips, no new taxes” — was as central to his victory as Mr. Obama’s promise to cut taxes for 95% of Americans. George H.W. Bush famously reneged on that promise. Voters rejected his bid for a second term.
Mr. Obama ran like Reagan. Will he be able to govern that way, too?
Mr. Rasmussen is president of Rasmussen Reports, an independent national polling company.
Errr, start a revolution perhaps?
The one positive thing I’ve done is stop watching State Media of any kind. My mind has been assaulted daily for years with ‘their message’ and I’m not going to let them do it anymore.
It’s driven me to post fantasy driven articles some of which has got to have some readers think I’m delusional. I fear for this Republic and that fear has driven me to the edge of despair but I will not go over.
Without the constant daily input from the media, I can and will return to more reasonable state of mind and my singular news source will be here.
I just pray that there are some Conservative Republicans who will arise from the ashes and stop the madness in our country.
Thanks Jim, for all you do.
I love it when the enemy underestimates us!
Civil War
Don't throw me in that briar patch. Only four years later, in 1968, we had a Republican president and Ronald Reagan warming up in the bullpen.
From our cold dead hands!
WTF?
They let us get away the last time they controlled Congress and the Presidency. Don’t expect them to make that mistake again.
They’ll do every thing they can to silence us.
Fairness Doctrine II. They’ll find a way to make it cover satellite broadcasting too.
Something to cover the Internet (protecting kids from ‘hate speech.’)
Publishing.
I’m sure some leftist somewhere has come up with a clever plan.
People don’t understand numbers. They think that since you lost, everything you had going for you was a non-factor. I submit that, given the unbelievably biased Pravda-style of the MSM and the willful ignorance of much of the American people, that if we didn’t have talk radio, the Marxist would have got 65 percent of the vote.
