Free Republic

Some of the most vicious criticisms of Conservatives who stay true to form on the issues that define a true Conservative quite often come from Republicans who tend to be liberal on Social Issues. When it happens as it does quite often in Massachusetts Republican circles, it brings back memories of the venomous and personal attacks that were cast at George W Bush and his supporters by John McCain and his campaign who fell off the bandwagon in the area of Social Conservatism.

Now that this story is about to enter its third day, the overwhelming response on talk radio and on TV from what I can tell and I haven’t been following it every second is that Obama did the right thing in firing General McChrystal. The media is going overboard in commending him for his selection of General Petraeus even though they and their Democrat allies in Congress treated him with utter disdain when he introduced his surge plan for turning the War in Iraq into a decisive victory for the US as well as George W Bush, a fact that...

Considering how much criticism Obama has received concerning his leadership in almost every aspect of his Presidency, you knew he would have to fire Gen Stanley McChrystal in hopes of turning that image around. And after serving 26 years in the US Navy I understand the importance of establishing respect amongst military personnel for our country’s elected civilian leadership. I don’t believe, however that McChrystal needed to be fired from his position at this critical time in the War in Afganistan unless there was evidence he did not support the Presidents policy, and aside from some grumbling at the beginning...

It has been very interesting as well as sad to observe how the burden of blame has been assigned to British Petroleum (BP) for the Gulf Oil Spill Disaster, as it should, without hardly any mention of the Environmental Community which pressured their allies in the Democrat Party to ban shallow water drilling and replaced it with a new policy of deep water drilling during the Clinton years. Certainly these environmental wacko groups had a large role in this disaster just as they have had in the systematic elimination of the New England Fishing Industry through government over-regulation by global...

It seems to me that there are two trends regarding the gulf oil spill that are presently vying for attention among the Cable TV political punditry. One is evolving from the right side of the spectrum and focuses on fixing the problem through good old fashion American ingenuity. As we watch scientifically minded problem solvers pour oil from a test tube into a glass tank and then scoop up all the oil with either hay or some new fibrous product, which leaves the water clear and glistening and reminds me of a show I used to watch in the 1950’s...

With the Massachusetts Republican Primaries less than 100 days away, as I write this, I'm making it my mission in life, at least for the moment, to work towards selecting the candidate that I believe would be the wisest choice to replace Barney Frank, not only for the 4th Congressional District but for the entire nation. That person in my opinion is Earl Sholley who is one of the strongest conservatives I’ve ever met and is exactly the kind of “tea party candidate” that is needed to represent the state of Massachusetts during these troubling yet historical times.

Last weekend in Utah it became clear that Conservatives have had enough with liberal Republicans like Bob Bennet of Utah who went into office promising to cut the spending and leaves office having contributed to the fleecing of America along with other liberal Republicans and the entire Democrat party. But the truth is that what happened in Utah was not an anti incumbent revolt as is being reported in much of the media, it was a matter of Conservatives disentangling themselves from the Republican Party by rejecting the "big spenders" and “phony Conservatives” of the party, like Senator Bennet, who...

The up and coming Congressional Elections are going to come down to how committed candidates are to Conservatism on the great issues that divide the country and whether or not Republicans have learned the lessons of the 2008 Presidential Election and the elections this year in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts which is as follows: You can win… if you run as a Conservative on all issues. And nowhere was this more apparent in the State of Massachusetts where Scott Brown ran as a Conservative and was rewarded with the mother of all liberal bastions, the Kennedy Seat because the...

Down here on the Massachusetts South Coast and in the 4th Congressional District I’m a little tired of getting lectured on the subject of “financial reform” and “risk taking” by socialists. I mean when was the last time either President Obama or Barney Frank ran their own business like the strongest Conservative candidate running against Barney Frank, Earl Sholley and the hundreds of Fishing Boat owners in the largest city of the District, New Bedford, MA have. And when was the last time they risked their own capital like Earl Sholley and these same Fishing Boat employers have, yet they...

It’s my fervent prayer that the voters of the Massachusetts 4th Congressional District will do their best for not only the best interests of this region but for the sake of the entire country to vote Barney Frank out of office in the November, 2010 elections. As someone who served my country for 26 years, I am not afraid to speak in its defense against those who are trying to transform the Country I love into a European style Socialist Regime where the government controls every aspect of our lives. I also resent the role my Congressional District is playing...

Not to long ago, I wrote an article entitled “Earl Sholley Continues to Impress” which has received numerous hits on the various blogs where it was posted from curiosity seekers around the country who are very interested in seeing Barney Frank removed from his perch in the Congressional sphere of influence. My support for his campaign was also inspired mostly by my desire to give Barney his walking papers as well, not only for the depressing conditions in the 4th Congressional District following his 30 year reign, but for the great harm he has done to this country as the...

There is no question that the passage of the Health Care Bill last weekend has aroused genuine anger from Tea Party activists and all freedom loving Americans whether they identify with a particular political party or not.And from what I’ve see it’s the kind of anger that arises out of people’s hearts when something or someone they love is unjustly disparaged,disrespected or harmed in some way i.e. righteous anger. In this case that which has been disparaged is the Constitution and the country we all love, the United States of America

One of the good things that resulted from this weekend’s unconstitutional Coup d’etat of the Private Sector’s Health Care Industry and one-sixth of the US Economy was that today’s Democrats can no longer hide who they really are… The extreme radicals running the government have forced the Democrats out of the tall grass and into the open where they are now required to reveal their true intentions and plans for changing America into a Socialist Utopia, an oxymoron if their ever was one.

I believe that Mar 21, 2010 will be another one of those “Infamy” days we’ll talk about forever and be as potent and as formidable in our minds as Pearl Harbor; the Signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution; The Civil War and the Assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy; as well as 9/11. These events were all significant turning points in the life of the nation and the generations that witnessed and lived through them. Such will be the case I believe of the Signing into law of Socialized Medicine, an event which will go...
