Small government conservatives have been told to shut up and take it . . .

Exactly!!! They are the ones with the real complaint.

Rush and Hannity have stayed away from any endorsement. Their job is analysis. Hannity has gone out of his way to remain actively friendly with all, and provide them airtime.

"I'm committed to and will continue to fight for fair trade. American exporters and American workers deserve a fair shake abroad, and we intend to see they get it. Our objective will always be to make world trading partnerships freer and fairer for all. So, while we will use our powers as a lever to open closed doors abroad, we will continue to resist protectionist measures that would only raise prices, lock out trade, and destroy the jobs and prosperity trade brings to all. There are no winners in a trade war, only losers" -President Reagan on a radio address, 7 September 1985 (source: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=39072).

Well said. Let’s hope the Iowans are a discerning lot.

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.

No explaination is really needed, since right and wrong are emblazoned upon every conscience. We don't need to be taught that theft is wrong, that dismembering a baby is wrong, that cheating and dishonesty are wrong.

John Adams: "Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people; it is wholly inadequate for any other." Many rejoice at the very thing - the casting off of all moral restraint - that is causing the slow but steady death of our republic. They rejoice at their own ruin. We need only view the history of the fall of the Roman Empire to see disturbing parallels with America. One cannot have "fiscal conservativism" without the overriding moral framework that provides shelter for the environment that is prerequisite to the blessing of prosperity. A moral-less society allows the strong to take from the weak without juridical recourse. Contemporary examples abound.

One more thought: since you didn’t respond regarding the pork votes, does that mean that pork is okay?

No, but earmarks are unfortunately the only way anything passes in congress. I think hardened veterans like DH take it as fact and live with it the best they can.

Or does that mean that you do not trust TCFG to accurately evaluate Reps. and Sens because TCFG has biases?

I would say that the advocacy for cheap labor trumps any other topic for TCFG.

But the charge that products are made with "slave labor"? I'm just not buying into that myth.

You haven't traveled much, have you?

History demonstrates at any given time the majority have always always been WRONG, nothing new under the sun. So lesson of life for me came under Clintonism, God never forsakes His own.

I expect the routine of clever deception repeated under the guise of follow me because I will take from your neighbor/brother so you will become equal. Some are more clever than the rest but no matter how it gets diced and sliced the results continue to be the same.

While this is true, I also don't see workers from various places in the world working under armed surveillance and being led to work in leg irons. In fact, in most factory work from abroad, I hear that there's fierce competition just waiting for the 'slave masters' to open up more opportunities in their facilities.

They're trying to survive, which is difficult when they don't have enough to eat.

PS. Don’t let the welfare mothers with their crack addiction, their cell phones, and their big screen TVs with cable give you the wrong impression about how the truly poor in this world live.

And this makes them slave labor! At the very best, this make for hyperbole, don't you think? At worst it is a distortion of truth of fantastic proportion.
