Actually, you have it backward. A person should work harder to work for reform in their church than in their political party.
Strategically, I think the most important target is “climate change,” “global warming” and “greenhouse gases” which RINO Schwarzenegger not only supports but has pushed beyond even the Fed. There are many papers refuting the science of this theory. The term greenhouse gases should not be used as the atmosphere does not physically resemble a greenhouse. The PHYSICS is different. This argument can be won. In 10 minutes FReepers can deliver to you 1,000 pages of scientific rebuttals to the Al Gore scenario. Once you have revealed the fallacy of the Dem/RINO arguments in one arena, the public is will be more recptive to other arguments.
The presentation must make clear: 1) We’re not talking about pollution we’re talking about carbon dioxide and methane. This is not a return to the pollution of the early 19th Century. 2) We may be running out of oil and seeking alternative energy sources but we have an abundance of gas and coal to generate electricity and need not bankrupt our industry and eocnomy to trap harmless by-products like carbon dioxide and methane. 3) No matter what we do (this is the GOP argument in Congress but is not forceful enough as it does not challenge the theory) it won’t make any difference. 4) If it’s so important — saving the planet — why are we granting China and India a pass?
Prop 187 demonstrated the will of the California citizens regarding the support of illegal immigrants. Is there any way to challenge the Federal government’s denial of that referundum, to require the Fed to repay all money spent on illegal immigrants, to challenge the ruling? The people made it clear that they did not want their tax money to support citizens of another country. How can the Federal government insist that we do? It’s an outrage. We must accept a baby born as a US citizen because the mother sneaked through the border and made it to a hospital. We now pay to educate the child — at extra cost because it doesn’t speak English. Upon graduation it displaces an American in expensive University education because of “diversity” and “fairness.” Meanwhile we support the medical costs of the parents (and by now the aging grandparents) of the illegal immigrant who is now a citizen by virtue of birthplace and can’t evict them because it would “break up a family” who won’t learn English, who cannot read the newspapers, who wave a Mexican flag on May 5th and who vote however their Mexican compatriots tell them.
We’re told that we need the illegal immigrants because American workers won’t take the jobs they do. We don’t know that. As far as agriculture goes because the labor is cheap we have not developed the technology to take their place. As for the other jobs, California has for so long relied upon Mexican citizens to do those jobs that we don’t really know if Americans would take those jobs. And the way it’s going, I believe they will.
A major concern in California is water and agriculture. The environmentalists are calling the shots. It makes for good theatre. Cuddly, talking animals. Nature is pretty resilient. I have heard that there are 300,000 people out of work in the Central Valley because of the shut down of farming. This is of major concern. Food has to be grown. Human beings are as important as a 2-inch fish. We need to be much more forceful in challenging their opinions (not science) and their maudlin commercials about nature. We need to fight them about the water use.
The person who wrote that does not always have the facts.
Issa is a Viet nam war vet. He had a 2007 ACU ave. 88
Bilbray 92.
Then you have AIP people who have the same views as the killer at the holocaust museum who did’t like Bush, McCain or NeoCons.
Yes,
I won the Primary and did NOT get one once of help or Acknowledgement from the Illinois GOP. They want RINOS ONLY!
Liberals get the warm and fuzzies when local law enforcement refuses to help the Feds with the round up of illegals. I am hoping that in time, the States will refuse to cooperate with the Feds when they begin trying to persecute conservatives. Let’s see if the liberals still feel so warm and fuzzy then.
Mike Spence, president, California Republican Assemblies
Explain to me how you're any different than any Alinskyite Democrat.
Question #2 - Did the leftists blow their wad on taking over the banks and car companies? The country is broke yet they want to spend, at least, another $12 TRILLION that the country doesn't have. Will the socialists succeed in their takeover mission?
You can hijack this thread with your odd sourced crap.
Your third party fascists will not win national elections.
Why don’t you work for your state of Iowa to stop
their pro gay marriage
Calif. voted against Gay marriage sorry for your state.
Just before the last election, John and Ken read for a full 30 minutes with one commercial break the titles of California state offices. Of course, some of these are extremely necessary (Fire, Police, etc.) But MANY were humorously redundant (making these up but you get the idea: Office of Minority Hiring, and Department of Hiring of Minorities) and made for sadly hilarious radio. Many were feel-good bureaus that could EASILY be shut down.
Also, WHO KNEW the benefits “poor” people were getting through Medi-Cal??? I was told recently that no longer would adults be getting free dental care. THEY WERE GETTING FREE DENTAL CARE?? And, So kids still do?????? Hellllo, State of Cullifornia, do you realize that your hardworking middle class has to save up to afford our own kids’ dental? Why should nonworking people get this for free? Why should it [bleeping] PAY to be POOR??
Why doesn’t the GOP come out swinging on Global Warming, rather than half-heartedly going along?
Using real data to fight lies and distortions usually works.
Did you know that Earth has been cooling for the past 9 1/2 years, and that it is easy to show that fact?
Do you know how to show that the sea level changes naturally, and can you back it up with irrefutable proof?
I suggest using the Alinsky tactic of ridicule. Ask Dan Quayle if it works.
I actually worked for Reagan when he ran for Gov.
Why don’t you ask JR what he think of your Alen Keyes.
A loon who never has and never will win state or national office thank goodness.
The people who want 100% pure need to look at the shooter of this past week.
A total loon.
Iowa’s GOP is as feckless as California’s.
Obama’s tactics are the same as Vladmir Lenin’s: “Probe with bayonets. If you encounter mush, proceed. If you encounter steel, withdraw.” And, unfortunately, the leadership of the Republican Party is nothing but mush.
And that won’t change with people like yourself covering for the unprincipled nature of the Republican Party’s leadership.
Bump for later
You have a strange definition of "pure."
Is there a way to have STATE laws against illegal aliens, and then a State ICE (or version of the same)? Something like fines for ANYONE hiring someone without legal papers, to the tune of $2000 per illegal per day?
If there was a state version of ICE that did some following up on this law, fining moms with illegal nannies, sweat shops, gardeners, etc., then there will be more jobs for Americans of all backgrounds.
There would be fairer contractor bids.
You could have work-to-study programs for the farmers: subsidize young college-bound people who work for a year on the farms and then get into state colleges.
Is there anyway to challenge the power of the SEIU and other unions? How can government unions give money to political campaigns? How is that legal? Isn’t that conflict of interest? Not just for California but for many other states this is a critical question. Why should government workers pay, health care, pensions be so out of line with workers in the private sector?
This is not right.
Grow up
My comments about elected officials and candidates in response to other posters are solely concerning their lack of adherence to those fundamental premises.
But, my presence is causing the attack dogs of the GOP to foam at the mouth, whine to Jim, and ruin your thread. So, have fun.
But, remember this, they can say whatever they want, but if their nice words only have as their end the election of liberals like Schwarzenegger and McCain, those words amount to little more than the fine wine used to fool the victim into drinking the poison.
God will bless you for that!!!
