Seems there are a few fringe malcontents on this board who are trying to sandbag Scott Brown's campaign in Massachusetts and and preserve Harry Reid's 60-vote super-majority.
There are many in the online community that consider this site to be nothing but “fringe malcontents” comparable to DU on the left. But it’s not true and neither is your vitriolic comment about our spirited discussion here on this superior site!!!
Scott Brown is not a mainstream conservative, bucko. He supports abortion rights, big government and RomneyCare. Brown sounds like a statist rino to me.
I’d wondered about JBS. A couple of years ago I heard the ‘racist’ label applied to the organization. Didn’t give it much thought until I stumbled across JBS’s founder, Robert Welch’s 1974 speech on YouTube [Pamela Geller also has it on her AtlasShrugs2000.typepad.com site.
What Welch stated was that the lefties would try to bust the finances of the US by continually increasing spending through entitlements, military adventures and more. That the currency would be debased and a NWO would move in, coupled with giving up our sovereignty.
Looks to me like he had it spot on.
This led me to do a bit more research. Ike chose to pave the US, instead of upgrading railways. This undoubtedly led to a trade imbalance as we became ‘hooked’ on foreign oil. Dependence on external resources has weakened our nation.
Regan, for all of his positive traits, did overspend, which also weakened the nation.
It seems to me that the JBS is truly a solid constitutional supporter, which equates to a free people, small government, solid currency, and limited foreign war entanglements.
Sadly, both parties appear to have run candidates who do not believe in these values.
Palin’s hesitation is understandable as the JBS has been portrayed as a boogey-man and the media would have latched on her appearance with JBS sponsorship spinning the story to her discredit and the discredit of constitutional conservatives.
Sometimes, one retreats to regroup and fight on a different field. Smart woman, is Sarah Palin.
