I am posting this, because of recent events. I am very upset with watching our freedoms being signed away by this new "President", and seeing those who are supposed to be leaders in the GOP not even batting an eye over it. I am sick of the spineless way some of the GOP behave when they should be standing up saying, "Heck No we are Not going to let you do this."
We voted for these people on the notion that they would carry out the conservative agenda that we sent them there to perform. So far we have yet to see much of this. We as citizens give these people the power to rule us. I say it is time we start taking it away if they will NOT obey the will of those who gave them their power in the first place.
I think also the crowing moment that has set me on fire for a new kind of change is the "President's" comment that he won so we should all just sit down shut up and do what ever he wants. When he told the officials we elected that he in effect told us this as well. I say now is when we need to break this silence and be as loud as we can be. I refuse to sit down and shut up any longer. I don't care if I am the only one who is willing to get a bull horn and speak my mind. I will. Conservatives, friends, silence is getting us no where, but shafted. We need to take a more proactive tack with our government. Even if it means starting a new party.
I have as of late felt that the GOP leadership has left it's grass root conservatism behind. It has fallen prey to the notion that if they become more "moderate" that they will be loved by the liberal left. Hog wash!
So in light of this, I feel if our so called "leaders" are going to leave us behind, then I feel we should do them the same turn. I call for all those with a mind for justice, and a love of freedom to stand up. All those who wish to not see this great Republic fade into the night stand up! Stand up for the constitution, for God, for the betterment of mankind! STAND UP!
“People get the government they deserve” Joseph D’Maistre
Gang, we HAD a shot at cleaning these places out this last election and, to borrow a phrase from the klintoon White House, WE BLEW IT!!!
While I, like many of you, am saddened that McCain and Palin couldn’t keep the Marxist Obamessiah out of the White House, let’s try to keep things in some kind of rational perspective: ACORN elected a president and vice-president, NOT a monarch.
For years, I’ve been amazed at this idiotic quadrennial fascination with the beauty contest known as the (cue the trumpet fanfare) “PRESIDENTIAL RACE.” Our inattention and/or apparent desire for a king or a strong man dictatorship has allowed our system to morph to the present quasi-monarchy from its original foundations as a representative REPUBLIC.
People, the most important thing we can remember about all of this is that the Founders constructed the system to put – AND KEEP — the KEYS TO THE FEDERAL CASH REGISTER ARE IN CONGRESS and current Gang of 535 could bring this out-of-control government spending and the steady usurpation of our freedoms to a screeching halt tomorrow at noon — IF they wanted to. Attila the Hun could occupy the White House and without the dough to hire the bureaucrats, buy the desks and computers, etc., etc. ad nauseum, Mr. Hun would be hamstrung. (See Article 1, Section 7 of the now largely moribund Constitution for details.)
But they DON’T — for a number of reasons: (And I cite the tax situation as but one example of the problem. Don’t get me started on the ENERGY thing!)
1. They understand the need to vacuum the excess FRAUDS (Federal Reserve Accounting Unit Denominators) — there are no “dollars” circulating now! — out of circulation BEFORE the bulk of the dumb masses (say it really fast for maximum effect) catch on to the resultant inflation. If you question that statement, ask yourself why else would a criminal enterprise (the federal government) having the power to “create” “money” with the stroke of a pen NEED YOURS every April 15th?
2. The current Gang of 535 understands the need for the massive tax code (so-called because it is written in code by gnomes chained to posts in the cellars of K Street lobbying firms and understood only by their keepers) to reward their friends, punish their enemies and keep the rest of us under their thumbs with threats of draconian punishments should we run afoul of it. It is impossible to NOT run afoul of it.
3. While the dumb masses rant about the abusive practices of this top criminal enterprise’s subsidiary criminal enterprise (the IRS), members of the Gang can pose and posture for the cameras from time to time and declare that “something MUST be done to reign in the abuses of the IRS,” NOTHING WILL BE DONE until we clean house on Capitol Hill and get back to the HONEST, CONSTITUTIONAL MONEY called for at Art.1, Sect. 10. They’ve been playing a rigged game of 3 card-Monte with us for so long – and getting away with it – that, as Herman Cain’s book title declares – “They Think You’re STUPID.” And, hell, for MOST of the dumb masses, they’re right.
And THAT process starts in YOUR STATE and CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT by finding and supporting decent candidates — at ALL levels — who will go to YOUR state capitol and Malfunction Junction and do that house cleaning. Not marching on Washington...not sending “money” to the RNC (LOL!)...not writing poison pen letters to these current jerks...but THROWING OUT THE CURRENT JERKS and doing it as many times as necessary to get it done.
A good news in the viability of this approach is that the controlled so-called national mainstream media have far less impact on these widely separated congressional races making it easier to get some good guys elected.
The bad news is that I can speak from personal experience about how the national PARTIES will survey all the contested congressional races and if they DO find a candidate they do not or think they cannot control running on their side, they’ll offer a “consultant” from headquarters to come in and ASSIST the campaign. In at least 4 cases with which I am familiar, the Republican National Committee TORPEDOED those campaigns so a good guy who might be more incined to harken to the Constitution before toeing the party line didn’t make it to D.C.
And for you who, like a sad number of the dumb masses, THINK YOUR GUY IS OK, go to THROWTHEMOUT at
http://www.throwthemout.com/articles.php
for your guy’s voting record on taxes, spending or your personal hot button issues. You might be in for an unpleasant surprise.
I often get the strong sense that the American people have some sick and sophomoric yearning for a new ROYAL FAMILY or BENEVOLENT KING to make their lives what they themselves feel incapable of making them without some nanny-state sovereign. Throughout history, with few exceptions conspicuous because of their rarity, those systems nearly always become malignant and freedom founders and eventually fails. With the exception of America – the IDEA, not the place – most men who have walked the earth have lived as slaves.
As opportunities afford themselves (and this is one), I simply attempt to remind my fellow citizens of that history and what lies ahead if they continue in their ignorance of that history.
I could go on for volumes but you get the idea.
One final thought: With the exception of the guys who pass muster at THROWTHEMOUT, RE-ELECT NOBODY!!!!!
Standing by for a record breaking flaming by the fanatics.
Never been registered with a party, mostly because of pubbies like McCain, Graham and Hagel. So, I may rethink that, so I that I might have a say in electing the most conservative candidate.
Not happy with the GOP, but obviously nothing would make Lord Barack and the Democrats happier than to start pealing off third party votes.
It would make the GOP a permanent minority. I think conservatism would be like the Conservative party in England and a whisper from them since John Major was in office.
Thanks for a sane post. Good going.
“”Coleman may not be perfect but he’s a heck of a lot better than that crazy Freaken.””
Not speakibng to Coleman directly but that is the number one problem with the GOP and it’s “supporters”. Candidate “A” may not be great but he is better that Candidate”B”. Of course no real discernment about weather either one is good for us our our country. Just that “our” guy is not as bad. The perfect Marxist set up. Sure McCain is a liberal but he is not as bad as Obamnation. Too many in the GOP rationalize our every move leftward. We just don’t there quite as fast with Neocon’s and Republican liberals. Not only that we allow the MSM to dictate who the “acceptable” canidates are.
I see the Godless shoe fits.
You have no idea.
thanks- I will fax immediately....any copies of letters sent for those of us with poor writing skills??
Good going, SoA.

Urgent: Contact House This Morning on ‘Stimulus’ Bill
http://investigatingobama.blogspot.com/2009/01/contact-house-this-morning-on-stimulus.html
There you will see:
- Senators’ and representatives’ addressses, telephone and fax numbers, and email addresses
- Additional contact information, including staff of Senate & House leaders’ staff
Call, this morning!
... Michelle Bachmann was on Glenn Beck this afternoon and begged for all of us to call, fax, email our representatives, said the democrats are trying to force this through before the people get wind how bad it is...
as to how good or bad our representatives are... well that is because WE have not held their feet to the fire... a third party would be no better beacause basically American;s are lazy, have a manana attitude and let the other guy do it attitude... heck most cannot even bother to vote and then they sit back an complain."
Great comment.
Agree with you about closed primaries, the open primary is part of what killed us. I would also like to have the primaries on the same day all across the country. And no three or four day voting. Vote between and 10 and 10 on the East coast, 9 and 9 CST, 8 and 8 mountain and 7 and 7 West. No exit polling! I can dream can’t I?
"I did not leave the Democrat party. The Democrat party left me." - Ronald Reagan
Mr. Duncan:
In case you haven't noticed, the Republican party is quickly leaving her members behind. This is coming about through several actions on the part of the so-called "leadership" in the GOP, including quite a few spineless "leaders" in the House & Senate. One of the biggest mistakes being made in the GOP today is the constant push to "reach across the aisle", when the only reason to do so is to crush the ignorant policies of the Socialists.
We, the general membership of the GOP do not want "bipartisanship". We do not respect or accept the actions of House & Senate GOP members in the name of "bipartisanship". Democrats in congress have never had any intention of working with us, and we should not even pretend to be working with them. This IS political warfare, and the GOP MUST STOP SURRENDERING!
I fear the death of the GOP if things do not change immediately. I know MANY GOP'ers who will be watching the House vote on President Hussein's "Stimulus" bill. This Socialist legislation, IN ANY FORM, must be opposed at all costs by Republicans in the House & Senate, and I hope that you will work towards that end.
Anything less would be unacceptable, and an indication that the GOP "leadership" is unwilling to fight for the core principles and issues that once made this party the "Grand Old Party".
Thank you for your time.
Bump to #132
I emailed Rep. Kirk, four times, and I asked him why he’s a Republican. I didn’t receive a response, so I emailed four of his aides and asked them why he’s a Republican. I haven’t received a response.
E-mail I received yesterday from Congressman Westmoreland, 3rd District of Georgia(R):
On Wednesday, Lynn will vote on the $825 billion stimulus package. Supporters say the plan will create and save jobs and kick start our economy. Opponents say our nation can’t afford a $2 trillion deficit and that the ballooning debt will cripple our economy in the long run. Would you vote for the stimulus package as it stands now?
*Yes
*No
Republicans have offered an alternative stimulus plan. The Republican plan would 1) put greater emphasis on tax cuts, 2) focus spending on shovel-ready infrastructure projects and 3) cut billions on spending that would not directly stimulate the economy. Would you prefer:
*The Democrats’ stimulus plan that puts a greater emphasis on spending
*The Republicans’ stimulus plan that puts a greater emphasis on tax cuts
I’m about convinced that any power constituency of any secular significance and a lot of those of Christian significance
has been co-opted, taken effective control of by the Oligarchy years to decades ago.
The GOP has to be the same and probably was early on.
Very sad.
I’m looking for a conservative elected official who will run for Congress, in my district. I heard that my county clerk says that Rep. Kirk is too liberal, so I’ll probably ask her to run.
I got something for my vote, the satisfaction of knowing that I voted for the best candidates. I agree that, sometimes, Republicans should hang together, to defeat the Democrats. Last year, if I thought that the presidential race, in Illinois, would have been close, I would have voted for McCain, since I didn’t want to help split the anti-Obama vote, helping him receive Illinois’ 21 electoral votes, with about 49% of the state’s popular vote. I knew that Obama would win about 60%, in IL, so I voted for the candidate with whom I agreed the most, Chuck Baldwin.
Let me be the first to Welcome you to 8 years ago.
You've got alot of "catching up" to do. ;)
