"I mean an independent Le Pen would be a spoiler. It would be very nice if a Le Pen showed up in the Republican Party in certain conservative districts. Kind of like Newt Gingrich but with immensely more integrity."

This is a War on Political Correctness and this war will not be won by the Republicans being *afraid* to hurt someone's feelings. This war will not be won by mediocre pandering. There are millions of illegal aliens in the United States at this very moment. Why are these criminals not removed and why are they tolerated? Why? Because it would be instantly construed as *insenstive* and *racist* in the media.

Its pretty much the same thing in this case. One nation *under god* is construed as *insensitive* in our *diverse* society. This is simply more politically correct fascism.

Thanks for posting this. This is exactly what I think about this situation. Instead of giving every Republican an anal probe to see if we can find any lack of orthodoxy, we need to elect as many as possible. And we should support the conservatives over the "moderates" whenever possible.

The reason Gore came so close in the last election is the Dems became very motivated at the last minute and worked night and day to get their voters to the booths. Our efforts should be no less tireless (though, unlike the Dems we should keep it legal).

"We must have a Republican President to appoint conservative judges and we must have a Republican majority so they will be moved through the Senate."

Right on Jim!

Not to worry.

The central acitvity of government is to wage war.

Liberals can't change that, or the fact that Americans know who to call when the barbarians are at the gates.


BUMP

"Under God" is an accurate reference in a historic and cultural sense"

Well good now, we know that the REALITY of the reference isn't even an issue (to you at least). It's all about pushing a cultural agenda. We had a perfectly good pledge that saw America through 2 World Wars until the cultural agenda politicos had to mess it all up. What a bunch of jerks.

The CFR is going to put a major crimp in the ability of private parties to shine an honest public spotlight on Demonrat candidates' antics... that is, unless the SCOTUS deepsixes it where it belongs.

The Supreme Court has made it clear that "God" is a reference so wide open to personal interpretation, that it is harmless even to atheists. And for why do we need it now?... it was providential the addition came when it did, at a watershed time when prayer was taken out of schools.

It does us no good for conservatives to sit on their hands or to vote third party. The only message that sends is to say you don't care if we have wall-to-wall liberals forever. The Democrats will love you. The liberal activist judiciary will love you.

Perfectly stated. What is so difficult about that to understand? Didn't the 1992 Presidential elections teach us anything? The Perot voters gave us 8 years of Clinton.

We have a Republican President. In my state, the State of Alabama, we have two Republican Senators. The Republicans control the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court really. The Dems got only 1 up on the Republicans in the Senate. The Republicans got a majority of the State legislatures adn Governors I believe. What have they done with it? What are they doing with it now? Why is it necessary to throw away U.S. citizenship like trash in order to win elections? Why is it necessary to sign campaign finance reform, give millions to AIDS Africa program, hold hands with Ted Kennedy in terms of Education, indulge in racial pandering et cetera.

Dubya's daddy gave us eight years of Clinton. Ralph Nader and Bill Clinton gave us four years of Dubya. Dubya gives us a non existent Southern border, big spending, racial pandering, the Department of Fatherland Security. Le Pen gave Europe a wake up call and America needs one too.

A very good rant. This is the part I liked best:

"This is not the time for sending a negative message. It does us no good for conservatives to sit on their hands or to vote third party. The only message that sends is to say you don't care if we have wall-to-wall liberals forever. The Democrats will love you. The liberal activist judiciary will love you."

My alternative is to change the playing field by sending a wake up call to the Demopublicans and Republicrats.

This is another clear sign that the Communist, Marxist, Socialist or whatever name you give them are now in position to take over america with out firing a shot as stated by Krushev back in the sixties when he said, we will inflitrate your churches, schools, media and courts.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!
