Now Hear This, Now Hear This.......American Conservatives Speaking
Col. Riley's Corner ^ | Col. Riley

Posted on 06/07/2008 6:52:20 AM PDT by do the dhue

TO: John McCain and the RNC,

Your latest solicitation for our money has a lot of “I want…” statements in it. Merely saying “I want…” does NOT impress me and won’t get the job done!

I would like to hear some “I WILL…” AND MEAN IT !

If you want our money, and our vote, then “WE WANT” some ACTION from the RNC and John McCain!

GET YOU HEAD OUT AND PAY ATTENTION…. WE ARE SERIOUS AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT VOTE!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that we WILL DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, AND PAY LESS! The stupidity of sitting on trillions of cubic feet of our own natural gas and billions of barrels of our own oil while begging Arabs for more is beyond insanity! We want refineries, clean safe nuclear power, and STOP BURNING OUR FOOD FOR FUEL!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that the borders WILL be closed and NO illegals will get ANY amnesty or special consideration ahead of those waiting to enter legally!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that employers of illegals will be prosecuted. The illegals will go home on their own… and real wages for real Americans will rise!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that federal funding will be withdrawn from “sanctuary cities”…. immediately! I obey the federal laws… so should city officials… or defund and prosecute them.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ONLY strict constructionist federal and Supreme Court judges will be nominated, AND that they will be supported, in hearings! Abiding by our Constitution has worked to get us here… it will work for our future!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that NO new taxes bills will be signed!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that there will be NO carbon tax schemes and NO so called “global warming” or “climate change” agreements catering to the fear mongers claiming “man-made” climate change. The world climate has ALWAYS changed and puny mankind cannot control it! The facts, evidence, and tens of thousands of scientists, say it is a pure hoax, a lie, and a grab for money and power and it MUST be stopped before it destroys our economy!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ALL earmarks will be vetoed!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that Social Security will be reformed and made solvent to end the illegal Ponzi scheme that will devastate the retirement of so many!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to oppose all forms of abortion, oppose same sex marriage, oppose civil unions of same sex couples, and support marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to retain “under God” in our pledge of allegiance, our coins to retain “in God we trust”, and English declared the official single language of the United States.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that if United States security is threatened, before American military forces are committed, Congress will issue a “declaration of war”.

Newt is offering you a “Platform For America”! READ IT!

http://www.americansolutions.com/actioncenter/petitions/?Guid=bf4a5257-45e3-4a94-97fc-57e2d7ecb6f9

It is a comprehensive list of what the overwhelming majority of “Americans” have said we want! If you are smart, you will use it in a Republican Platform! It is a winner for you politicians and for we American citizens!

Also check out http://buchanan.org:80/blog/2008/06/pjb-bush’s-black-list/

When John McCain, and the RNC, make these strong commitments, we will again support Republicans with OUR money and our vote!

But, NOT UNTIL THEN… IT IS TOO IMPORTANT!!!

DO YOU HEAR US…. OR ARE YOU NOW DEAF TO REAL AMERICAN VALUES?

Excellent! The best way I've seen it expressed yet!

Why stop with oil? Maybe we should conserve our land and import all our food.

Perhaps you haven't realized it, but you can replant your garden each year.

Sorry you've been leaving it fallow after that one harvest.

Perhaps you don’t realize if but you don’t get crops every year unless replenish your soil with amendments and fertilizers - much of them oil based.

Does McCain have any clue about the relationship between taxes and revenue, or does he simply oppose taxes because he knows some people don't like them? If that latter, how will his opposition to taxes fare when his friends across the aisle let him know that they do like taxes?

I understand where you are on the matter. I keep reflecting upon “of the People, by the People, for the People” which is what this Nation is about per our Constitution. That means to me that something is terribly out of whack when we look at these “Representatives” “leading” us and OUR Nation in a direction that isn’t what WE THE PEOPLE want.

As WE THE PEOPLE are whom these asshats in our Government “leadership” positions allegedly are responsible to, then WE THE PEOPLE are the actual “leaders”.

Somehow over the years WE THE PEOPLE seem to have lost the respect of those “Representatives” in Government whom work for us.

If you don’t replenish you’re just mining the soil and that’s not good right? Someone else should mine their soil.

I think the deal with Newt is, he came up with the contract for America. Newt thinks (and probably rightly so) that we need a new contract. He just needs to go back and work on the globull warming crap and bring it back to us.

You are far more kind than I. Personally, I think the deal with Newt is, he has taken a significant financial position in companies that would profit from this nonsense.

Now, where did I put that darn tin hat?

I am down to Barr (L) or Baldwin (C) at this point.

The Glenn Beck interview with Bob Barr which is now in six segments on YouTube, from Friday, were seen in full by yours truly.

I have to say, based on that interview alone, the scale has been tipped in favor of Barr.

This guy is traditional conservative through and through. I thought I could hear Barry Goldwater or Ronald Reagan speaking through Barr.

I dont hear that through John McAmnesty. Just four or eight more years of phony "compassionate" conservatism, which is nothing more than Cave-In Moderatism in the face of Liberal Democrat Socialist onslaught.

I wont stand for it in 2008.

And I will not waste my time with long winded letters to the RNC. Why are they going to listen at this point and even change their ways???

[Other freepers, dont even THINK about replying to this message with the same old "but, but, but, you'll elect OBAMA!!" I wont have any of it.]

That pretty much sums up how I feel. Barr would also commence drilling everywhere possible.

A billion-dollars? Well, since you said please, you get a freebie. Yes, believe it or not, crops grew multiple years even before the advent of petrochemical fertilizers!

Amazing, huh?

Of course, petrochemical amendments can greatly increase yield and allow multi-year unrotated monoculture farming, but again, I'm not the one calling for us to stop using them. I'm just saying we should import the raw materials while they are relatively inexpensive, and have them in-house when the price climbs.

And of course, isn't there a current mantra of "don't hurt our food supply for fuel"? Seems to me that indicates we should stop burning the oil, and instead save it for agricultural use. ;-)
