Around the time of CPAC or the comment Rush Limbaugh made about wanting Obama to fail, a youtube video was posted. It was a congressman or senator guest appearing on Fox News or CNN (???). He was dark haired, slim, good looking and really funny. I think he was also a rock and roll musician like Huckabee and Tony Snow. During the session, he defined the Republican party in these terms.
Our liberty is from God not the Government.
Our sovereignty is in our souls not the soil.
Our security is through strength not surrender.
Our prosperity is from the private sector not the public sector.
Our truths are self evident not relative.
*******************************************
Any help would be appreciated.
McCotter is on FoxNews’ “Red Eye” at least once a week. He’s hilarious.
Exacrly my thought when I heard zero at the DNC in 2004 ... except I thought ... "This guy's a Dem??!!?
I also remember saying to the one of my three children I forced to watch ... ... the one that was listening and paying attenetion ... "This guy's dangerous"
BINGO! That is the clip.
Isn’t he brilliant???
You R A W K ! ! !
My thanks to all who helped in the search.
Like Rush Limbaugh, FReepers are also a gift from God.
EXCELLENT!!!
Did you watch the video? It’s AWESOME!

Thank you!
See Post #18.
You said, about that quote (and I saw it on the clip provided by someone else, to you, here...)...
Our liberty is from God not the Government.
Our sovereignty is in our souls not the soil.
Our security is through strength not surrender.
Our prosperity is from the private sector not the public sector.
Our truths are self evident not relative.

He indicated that these were some well-known principles and that the host could quote them, too (at least I think that’s what he said)...
Have these principles been part of the Republican Party’s public platform, so that the public knows them and can repeat and spread it around?
I haven’t seen it or heard it before, although I do grasp the principles as being Republican.
Thanks for bringing that to our attention...
Thanks for the tip, my friend. ;^)
"He’s hilarious."
I'll bet, and he's also dead-on right.
Wondering if Mr. Steele ever heard of him.
Or is he shunning a solid conservative as he has Rush & Dick?
Whadda guy.
Fits the ol' tome to a 'T': With friends like him, who needs enemies"?
Preach it from the rooftops, brother! ;^)
HA!!
Of we all know better, now.
It wasn't zerO, was his shadow.
"I also remember saying to the one of my three children I forced to watch ... ... the one that was listening and paying attenetion ... 'This guy's dangerous'"
And THAT in 2004.
You've a great eye for frauds, my friend.
Naturally today the *gift* has been rendered quite useless, considering they're [nearly] all phony. :^)
Well my friend you're one of us and we're one of you. I think. {ala Firesign Theater?}
Glad you found what you wanted!
We *love good success stories 'round here. :^)
You said — Preach it from the rooftops, brother! ;^)

Amen to that...
But, at the same time, it does seem that there is a certain portion of the Republicans that may be giving mere lip service to some of these sayings, because I note that even here, on Free Republic, there are conservatives and Republicans who want to kick God out of the “Party” because they perceive God as a liability and “Christians” causing Republicans to lose because of their “narrow views”.
I’ve gotten that back from other FReepers here..., too...
Be on guard against every kind of evil.
Free Republic is a source of light in
a dark world, making it a target to be
Alinsky’d. “They” are here and their
intent is chaos and destruction.
You have been warned.
Use the ABUSE button and use it often.
Republican Principles
http://www.gop.com/about/imarepublicanbecause.htm
I’m a Republican Because...
I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.
I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

THIS IS FROM MY PROFILE PAGE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
This information comes from the National Republican Committee
VFW - U.S.M.C. Clay Strombeck Black Hills, South Dakota
1. Copy this and give it to your liberal friends.
2. Ask them to read it with you right then and there.
3. Take them somewhere to sit down, because 9 out of 10 will discover they are actually conservative.
DEFENSE - Republicans believe that the only way to preserve world peace is to have a powerful, prepared defense. The Republican Party and its leaders are strongly opposed to domestic and international terrorism, and are committed to a policy that will make no concessions to terrorists. The Republican Party believes in working diplomatically to help resolve dangerous regional conflicts and has achieved a reduction of nuclear weapons. Defense Peace and freedom can be only achieved though strength. History has shown, painfully, that weakness and vacillation invite aggression. Democrats administrations have cut America’s defenses. Relying on talk and good intentions to preserve world peace, Democrats advocate sublimation of our sovereign interest to the authority of the United Nations.
ECONOMY - The Republican Party believes that the free enterprise system is the key to individual and national prosperity. Republicans seek to protect the free enterprise system against unwarranted government regulation, believe that “individuals shall prosper.” The Democratic Party has, time and again, encouraged budget deficits and continues to fight plans to balance the federal budget, call for reducing the federal deficit through reductions in defense and tax increases, believe that “government shall provide...”
BUDGET - Republicans believe the family is the foundations of our social order; the school of democracy, believe it is important that we reflect upon and consider carefully the impact of government actions upon family life. Democrats support efforts to make federal programs and benefits available.. same sex couples.
CRIME - Republicans believe the first obligation of government is to protect the lives and property of its citizens. Both adults & juveniles must learn that actions have consequences & that they are responsible for their behavior. Democrats often vote to water down crime fighting provisions and support endless appeal processes.
THE ENVIRONMENT - Republicans Republican Party recognizes the importance of a safe and clean environment, and believes that the environmental concerns must be balanced against economic growth and energy development. Republicans emphasize the free market, exploration of new energy stores, and an environmentally friendly approach to bringing new energy resources to the American people. Democrats also recognizes the importance of safe and clean environment, but lacks concern for the economic factors involved and the jobs that regulations cost. Democrats emphasize conservation to solve the energy problems and place environment over development which results in continued reliance on foreign oil.
REGULATION - Republicans The Republican Party strives to cut excessive regulation, decentralize the federal government and return power to state and local governments. Would exempt small businesses from regulation wherever feasible. Democrats Democratic policies stifle business, especially small business, with endless regulation, paperwork and red tape.
EDUCATION - Republicans believe in local control of school boards, have advanced the concept of school vouchers allowing parental choice for lower income families to seek the best school for their children. Democrats consistently protect the status-quo of our falling educational system resisting creative efforts to improve opportunities for our children.
POVERTY - Republicans remedying poverty requires that we sustain and broaden economic recovery, hold families together, get government’s hand out of their pocketbooks, and restore the work ethic. Democrats “For some, the goal of independence requires greater support and assistance from government. We pledge to provide that support.”
WELFARE - Republicans support: able-bodied recipients of welfare to work, time limits on assistance, incentives to receive schooling or job training and pursuing” dead-beat dads” for child support. Democrats vote against requiring recipients to work and time limits on welfare.
TAXES AND SPENDING - Republicans continue to fight for limits on taxes and a permanent repeal of the death tax, believe that the government spending should not grow faster than the ability of citizens to pay for it. Democrats fight to raise taxes largely to increase the size of government and their ability to spend. Fiscal restraint is necessary in families and it must be so in government.
HEALTH CARE - Republicans believe in personal choice, maintaining quality, guaranteeing access, reducing cost, enhancing flexibility, ensuring fairness and encouraging individual responsibility. responsibility. Democrats support forcing Americans to purchase health insurance through government alliances, massive new payroll taxes, health entitlements and government controls which would lead to rationing of health care and the quality of medical care in this country. individual responsibility.
DID YOU KNOW? As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments! *** As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Command-ments engraved on each lower portion of each door. *** As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world’s law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view ... it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!
As a somewhat related item, given that even some Republicans and certain conservatives want to kick God out...
It would appear that God *has* abandoned America and has put it under His severe judgment. And the question now is what to do now that God is judging America?

John McTernan joins Jan to discuss judgment on America. That is a sad reality. How did it happen? What forms is it taking? A clue is the worst of the financial meltdown all happened on days correlated to U.S. activity in Israel. Also the gay agenda and abortion anger God and McTernan and Jan explain why. Is there any hope, what can you do, and how should we pray? Also commentary on overall America-Israel relations and the pressure on Israel that will be unrelenting and unprecedented. http://www.johnmcternan.name
I'm sure you have.
Just remember ONE thing if you remember nothing: They ain't all legit forum members!
After listening to *some* blather 'round here over the years, my friend?
*I* always think: motive-motive-motive.
Motive always speaks to who one is even if and/or when words deceive. ;^)
You shout it from the rooftops too, girl!!
Wished I'd read your comment before replying to ST.
Story of my life. :^)
*Now's* the time.
And as we all know, timing's everything, so post it often and allot!. :^)
