Ever since FDR and with the brief break between 1980 and 1988, which we call the Reagan era, this country has been moving inexorably to the left. Whether a Republican or a Democrat was in office, or in control of Congress the march was always toward bigger government and less individual freedom.
It seemed as though we were doomed to experience the political equivalent of the proverbial frog in the water syndrome. Every year, the liberal Dems and RINO Republicans turned the temp up ever so slightly till it seemed we would all be boiled to death in the cauldron of the nanny state.
And then, because we don’t have a civics literacy test to vote, people who couldn’t even spell vote, or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House named Barack Hussein Obama. He immediately turned up the heat under that cauldron so high and so quick that people started jumping out of the water all over the place.
If John McCain had won we would have had a replay of Bush 1 AND 2. The temperature of the water would continue to rise albeit more slowly, but with the same result in the long run.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would be mildly irritated and offer only tepid opposition. The Republicans in Congress would be unwilling to voice real opposition to a President in OUR party. If McCain had been elected, the Neocons would be writing flattering editorials in the Weekly Standard and the Wall Street Journal. Congressman Guiteriez and President McCain would have been posing in the rose garden with big smiles as they received accolades from La Raza for having finally passed an amnesty.
President Calderon and President McCain would be toasting the elimination of those pesky things called borders and major steps taken toward creation of a North American Union.
If McCain had been elected, Sarah Palin would not be free to tell it like it is, the Republicans Congress would never be voting in 100 opposition to left leaning legislation, there would be no Republican in Ted Kennedy’s seat and Chris Matthews would only have had twitching of the toes, instead of that tingle that went all the way up his leg when Obama was elected.
But worst of all, if McCain had been elected, America would have been moving down the same collectivist path and there would have been no Tea Party, no 9-12ers, no rally for America on the Washington Mall, and WE WOULD NOT BE HERE!
So the race is on for the soul of America. The President and his left wing allies in the Congress are going to look at every opportunity to destroy the Constitution before we have a chance to save it. So put your running shoes on. If the Republican Party isn’t keeping up, take it over or run it over. My main concern is that after we make big inroads in the fall, folks will go back to complacency and think the job has been done.

is this the speech all the lib are saying Tancredo is calling to reinstate Jim Crow laws?
I love Tancredo but that was a stupid thing to say.....even though it's true.
Dumb thing to say.
It was a great speech. ANd Tancredo doesn’t worry one bit about political correctness
I agree it was a dumb thing to say.
We have civics tests for citizenship. The whole point of public education was to instill these values. Of course the left hijacked the system. And thansk to Social Marxism speaking the truth is now impolitic, and in the future criminal.
This gives them a direct hit IMO, why give them the ammo?
Let them twist. America is fed up with politically correct capons.
“is this the speech all the lib are saying Tancredo is calling to reinstate Jim Crow laws?”
looks like it:
they MUST do and say everything and anything they can to discredit and vilify the tea party coalescence because they KNOW it is genuine and the real thing......the sleeping giant has finally been awakened and they FEAR it more than anything......they KNOW it must be stopped before it stops THEM! Talk radio and cable news the internet and interviews in the halls of the Capitol next week are going to be wild!
So do I.
The messages should be positive, stating what we want to do for the country not this kind of democratlike garbage.
I personally think if you don't pay taxes and can't pass a more than basic civics test you shouldn't be able to vote but know that any politician, one who wants to win anyway, would ever dare say that.
Wrong as it may be, that's just the reality.
They'll use this to smear all Tea Party people as racist.
I know it's BS but as the libs have succeeded in getting this Country to the brink of communism one step at a time, we're going to have to reverse course in the same fashion.
His statement will turn off the people we're trying to get on our side who may think we are nothing but racists, it just doesn't help
JMO
Tancredo BUMP.
Part of our problem is that our leaders have been unwilling to talk straight, while the left imposes PC guidelines.
I want someone who unapologetically states that Muzzies are out to kill westerners and that illegals are here illegally and need to go home. It’s way too late in the game to talk in code-speak.
Of course, I don’t expect the State Run Media to support those statements.
“I don’t want anybody to be refused the right to vote if, maybe, they have to mark [the ballot] with an X,” said Tancredo in a short interview with John Avlon of the Daily Beast. “I do think they should have to know something about how the government works.” He suggested using the citizenship test that immigrants take — maybe, he said, voters could take it “verbally."http://washingtonindependent.com/75937/tom-tancredos-literacy-test-the-controversy-that-wasnt-video
Tancredo went over to the dark side joining up with third party Baldwin who is anti war and a 9/11 Truther.
His NeoLeft views don’t belong in a conservative forum
And which of whis policies are neoleft. Do explain.
I never read that before.
Where is the written speech?
