Is Obama The Anti-Christ Video

Today's Rant will be short. I just came across an interesting video that correlates the words of Jesus regarding the end times and the current president.
I want to say up front that I do not personally believe that Obama is the anti christ even if some of his beliefs seem to me to support Satan's agenda. Anyway watch the video and see what you think.

Obama Pressures Senate On Climate Bill

The anointed one used his weekly radio show to add to the pressure on the Senate to pass the largest tax and free for all intrusion into the American way of life today. Once again he is using his same old argument that if this bill doesn't pass catastrophe will reign.

The sharply debated bill's fate is unclear in the Senate, and Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address to ratchet up pressure on the 100-seat chamber.

"My call to every senator, as well as to every American, is this," he said. "We cannot be afraid of the future. And we must not be prisoners of the past. Don't believe the misinformation out there that suggests there is somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and economic growth."

I couldn't agree more. DON'T BELIEVE THE MISINFORMATION being promoted that there is credible science behind this bill. Don't believe the claims that scientists have concluded that climate change and global warming are caused by man, and if not stopped, will be the end of the earth as we know it.

In a 17:1 margin scientists against that conclusion are ignored. The smoke and mirrors being used to promote this bill, which on the one hand says it will decrease "bad stewardship of ecology" by raising costs to such a point that it will necessarily cause a reduction in [green house gasses] being produced by evil corporations; while on the other hand will not cost anybody anything, is so deceitful as to be unimaginable. Check this out in his own words. This video clip give background on the impact to coal producers and tries to make the point that consumers will not have to pay for the increases because the government will send those affected a tax credit or refund. Ask yourself where do taxes come from? They come from you and your neighbors not the Government. The government does not do anything that produces profits and income that can be shared, they take it from us and in the current climate intend to take it from someone that they have decided has too much right now and give it to others they they choose that they feel has too little. How long will that last. If you think about it those that can will go elsewhere. Where do you go for money then a sliding scale down till everyone has a little bit of nothing. Is that the America that you want to live in. Watch Obama in his own word describe his vision of Cap and Tax.


Even to make that statement by itself basically says to the citizens of this country, that the belief held by those in power is: You are so stupid that given two completely contradictory statements you will not understand the lie and will just go along as you always have, when listening to a smooth turn of phrase.

Obama in his left leaning, head tilting, arrogant, pontificating, mind numbing rhetoric, obviously feels the same. Watch and listen to 3 of his speeches and pay attention to the pauses, cadence, and delivery and you will know exactly how the 4th one will sound. As some one once told me, familiarity breeds contempt. With Obama's penchant for jumping at every opportunity to get in front of a camera he has reached the point that like every other thing in life, too much of will give you a stomach ache.  Just look at his declining personal standing in the polls that are heading south to align with low apporval ratings of his policies.

I apologize for the digression but it all ties together. Back to the Waxman Cap and Tax Abortion. This bill has virtually nothing to do with improving the climate in other than a marginal way based on bad science with a false starting point for the argument. It has everything to do with causing intrusion into our lives personally and financially. Remember during Obama's run up to election, he said that his cap and trade bill would necessarily cause the price of electricity to rise tremendously--so much for the bill not costing anything...

If this bill makes it through the senate the consequence will be that everything we need from gas for our cars to go to work to the lightswitch we turn on in the evenings, even to the lightbulbs we can use in our homes, will be dictated by the federal government, with all of the inefficiencies and out of control costs that go along with every bureuracracy.

Even worse, in short order, the best and brightest people as well as companies will move their operations to countries like China and India that produce huge amounts of greenhouse gases and do not and will not subscibe to this lunacy. Even Australia has gutted this climate change nonsence. At a time when our economy is in the toilet, the last thing we need to do is create barriers to business, that will lose jobs, companies and growth.

Call, write, fax and email your senators to vote no on this insanity. Let them know that if they choose to vote yes that you will remember them in the 2010 elections and they will no longer be on your payroll. And yes, for those of you that don't realize it, government employees that are elected to represent you in congress are your employee's. If you had a 35% job approval rating from your employer in the company that you work for right now--how long in today's economy do you think it would be before you were fired. Think about it.

Cap and Tax Rings The Bell For The End Of America As We Knew It

And with the vote passing-[219 to 212] Cap and Tax albeit with a slim margin:  slowly but with gaining momentum, quietly, America fades into history as an idea that almost made it, to join with every other empire that forgot its roots and started down the seductive path to utopia.

Some say that there is still a chance that this abomination will suffer defeat when it hits the Senate; "when pigs fly". More likely, a bastardized and watered down version will make it through- giving something for both parties to stake a claim to that they were triumphant. It makes me sick to watch our nation being dismantled before my very eyes and to see people that were elected to represent the will of the people continue to be snollygothers.

The reality is; this is a bill that in any form, will harm the economy and the pocket of every citizen, promoted on false, or at the least suspect data, will do virtually nothing to change the climate and certainly will seriously damage Americas' capacity to be as productive as she could have been.

Moral Decay Of Politicians And The Ravenous Hunger For Power Of The Government

Moral Decay Of Politicians And The Ravenous Hunger For Power Of The Government

As I start off my Rant today there are 3 areas that I am going to discuss:

  1. fidelity and character of leaders must be rock solid
  2. ravenous hunger for power at all costs by elected politicians must be eliminated
  3. people that have believe in a country guided by the constitution who have been silent and just trying to live their lives and trusting that everything will work out need to become once again awakened to the peril our country is in. Make the politicians who do not fall on the right side of 1 and 2 above have the same fear that was verbalized during WWII that “I fear that we have awakened a sleeping giant to our peril…”

Once again, a conservative that was looked up to as an example of fidelity, character and a true federalist, a protector and champion of the constitution, has shown by his actions, that his integrity is of no value and his character sucks.

It may well be, for those that say: look at Governor Sanfords’ record, that he in fact made some valiant and bold moves that seemed to indicate he is a man of principle, good character and high integrity.

To some extent this may even be true, however when a man, especially someone in a leadership position cannot, for whatever reason, be true to his commitments of fidelity to his spouse, someone that supposedly he loves above all others, how then, can one believe that in matters affecting people he doesn’t know, that like his marriage, he will—when the test comes, act in his own selfish interests and hope not to get called on it.

If his attraction was so great for his illicit amour, he should have done the honorable thing, what a man of integrity and character would do, and divorced his wife, although painful in the short term would have been something that more than likely, could have been weathered and even used for gain.

Instead at the worst possible time, with some of the most important, country altering bills up for the possibility of being rammed down the peoples throats, when every shred of conservative momentum that could be mustered is needed, we now have a distraction, caused by our own, that will be used to provide cover for those that have agenda’s to pass legislation that will grow the federal governments power and put even more pressure on an economy that is in shreds as it is. What were you thinking.?!

Today we have an executive branch led by someone that seems to have an agenda of remaking America into a country 180 degree’s from what our founders envisioned, backed by a congress that will promote that agenda without even reading the bills that are created as long as it adds to and keeps them in a job. Federal government takeover of banking, manufacturing, environment and health care have already in some cases been achieved; with others on the table.

AIG, Merrill Lynch, GM, Chrysler, Climate Change Cap and trade czar for this czar for that with departments staffed on taxpayer dollars totally outside the controls put in place by the constitution. When will this unfettered madness end.

With the prospects of derailing them dim: It can only end when the masses of people that are actually in the majority rise up and say enough.

  • Conservatives that make up the majority in this country need to become a participant versus an observer.
  •  They need to actually read the constitution and understand what it says and what it means.
  • They need to realize how unique and valuable it is and that freedom really isn’t free. That from the beginning; there have been those that have given the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that generations following them, would have the rights and freedoms espoused in that document that no other country in the world has ever had.
  • That today, we have over time, stayed safely in the bleachers and like the frog and the pot story we are slowly but surely getting cooked in the squat.
  • That if we want to keep the freedoms that generations past enjoyed, like them we need to jump out of the pot and yes, maybe even into the fire to save the freedoms of yesteryear even at the expense of our comfortable lives for the sake of those to come.

Tomorrow a bill coming up for vote in the house commonly referred to as cap and trade will most likely pass. It can be defeated but only if enough people call their congressman and let him know in no uncertain terms that if he votes yes on this bill-effectively doubling the cost of almost every thing you need to survive-that you will remember him in 2010 and he will no longer be employed on your dime.

Don’t stop there, next week health care which will result in a single payer system that will destroy with all its shortfalls the very best health care system in the world. Call fax and email your representatives to let them know that you do not want to be forced into another government program bound to fail.

Suggest that if they really want to improve health care and drive down the costs to work on legislation that will drive insane costs associated with malpractice insurance down by creating tort reform that will make it no longer a profitable niche for greedy attorneys to call home. If you need an example just look to another great example of a politician John Edwards who made millions off of suits like these that when all was said and done provide a miniscule amount of money for the plaintiffs but millions for him and his firm.

The Decline And Fall Of America As We Knew It

Today is a day that I find myself in a negative and foul mood. Usually I can find the silver lining in just about any situation. The more I see what I believe, to be the decay of our freedom and rights as listed by our founders in the Constitution and guaranteed by our creator the more morose I find myself becoming.
Who would have thought that in just a few short years--with a tremendous escalation over the last 5 months, that so many actions by our gluttonous federal government could have seen the light of day, let alone growing and thriving with acclamation by millions.
In the face of a congress that on the one hand sides with this huge unconstitutional power hungry growth, and on the other side a group that for the most part is just as bad, but throws in glib, self protectionist pablum for the masses, and will not do the job that the voters that put them into office demand, one begins to believe that America as it was designed days are numbered; we just don't have a real handle on what that number is.
If a federal government that takes our taxes and uses it to take over banks, investment groups, manufacturing, and now attempting to control health care, while at the same time increasing taxes via stealth programs like cap and trade to control "climate change and global warming" which is based on according to well over 40,000 accredited scientist as false and bad science does not cause a huge revolt by the masses, I don't suppose that 15 czars that answer to no one other than the president and moves to control executive pay won't either.
I know that from time to time many presidents had their "czar" to provide a sounding board for him to bounce ideas of off, but 15 and counting in 5 months that are being given departments staffed on the taxpayer dime is so far away from what this country stands for that I can hardly get my head around it. Maybe as bad as it would be it is time for what Jefferson predicted would happen if minor revolutions every 20 years or so didn't happen and one of the reasons for the 2nd amendment--when government no longer listens to the people and all other measures are of no respite-the people have the right and the obligation to bring that government to an end and return it to its proper role. Granted this is paraphrased but you get the drift.
I hope and pray that while we still can the people in this country rise up, identify representatives that will truly listen and believe in the constitution, conservatism and the judeo christian principles that our country was founded upon and elect them without apology for those beliefs.
Maybe the silver lining in all of this is that God has allowed all of this to occur such that the state of our nation and its direction has finally penetrated our thick skulls to the point that the silent majority will stand up and enforce their will to bring this country back to its founding principles before it is just another "empire" come and gone.

Latest UN Sanctions | N. Korea

As much as I believe that the UN is about as useful as teets on a boar, I thought that as weak as they were, the latest sanctions coming out of that august body were at least something.

I mean with all of the violations recently by N Korea regarding their nuclear program and missile launches-it was heartning to hear that when it is believed that ships leaving N Korea have as cargo; nuclear material, missiles or missile components they could be boarded and checked out to make sure that there were no such things onboard.

I was reading the latest post by the AP regarding the USS McCain and discovered that the UN sanctions are worded such that N. Korean ships can only be boarded with the permission of N. Korea.

"The Security Council resolution calls on all 192 U.N. member states to inspect vessels on the high seas "if they have information that provides reasonable grounds to believe that the cargo" contains banned weapons or material to make them, and if approval is given by the country whose flag the ship sails under." See AP for full article:  http://tiny.cc/0OiJN 
 

Once again the point is proven that the UN hasn't got a clue. Give me a break. To find out if someone you believe is involved in activity that has been deemed against the law you have to ask for their permission to see if they are. Yeah sure; I'm sure that the good folks in the N. Korean government would say: go ahead you didn't even need to ask.

By the way, in a case where the US believes that someone is doing things that could lead to the death of our citizens or citizens of countries we have pledged to protect, when is it that we need to ask for permission or cover from any external body to do so. I am so tired of the mantra that we need to have some sort of cover from an external governing body so that "the world" won't get mad at us...No matter what we do, it has been shown over and over again that many in the world hate us no matter what we do. It is about time that our leaders grow a set and start doing things that yes, unilaterally work for our benefit. For those that do not like it--get over it--when you have grown to the same level of benefit to the world in prosperity and strength that the US has at the moment, maybe we will listen. If we keep going at the pace we are right now that day will likely come sooner rather than later. Much to my displeasure.

No Cross But Sex Show OK At William And Mary

BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS
It's ba-ack! William & Mary hosts sex show again
But prez warns against 'repeated performances without free play of ideas'

Ok they have so graciously allowed the Wren Cross to be placed in a sealed display case in the Wren Chapel Business office instead of its spot of honor since the 1930's in the chapel. It amazes me how a college that got its start as a Christian center of higher learning continues to allow activities that are in direct opposition to its founding principles[ the annual sex workers art show ]. Alumni contributions are being withheld totalling in the millions due to the promotion of these type of activities along with the denigration of the values of the churches founding principles and the loss of significant state funding. With the high costs already associated with this private college they are bound to go higher due to lack of funding making it even more difficult for Virginians to afford to send their children to it. For business reasons only it should make the folks in charge realize they need to exercise good business decisions or face the prospect of going under due to lack of attendance.

In the face of continuous attacks on christianity and faith in the public square put at the feet of the fallacious argument of "separation of church and state"--it is time for the people in this country to stand up and cry enough already.

Shout it from the rooftops that we are [contrary to the annoited ones proclomation that America is not a Christian Nation]:

A CHRISTIAN NATION THAT WORSHIPS GOD AND RELIES ON HIS GRACE TO CONTINUE BLESSING US AND THIS NATION AND THAT WE ARE PROUD TO SAY IT.

CBS Outdoor- One More Arm Of The Obama Machine

I'd never heard of GOD TV but today I received an email that Newt was going to be featured in a  live event joined by Huckabee and others in a talk centered around rediscovering God in America and how important faith in the public square is in todays world. Unfortunately I read the email to late to hear this talk but got the chance to hear another speaker whose talk centered around government/freedom/God and the constitution. Bottom line more government more poverty/less freedom--less government more wealth and freedom.
Now you may ask how this ties into my title for this post. Below I am going to outline my latest rant around one more attempt to reduce our freedoms, my thoughts about it and follow up comments.

I find the decision by CBS OUTDOOR to deny ad space for the [wheres the birth certificate] ad appalling at best. Especially in light of the fact that you allow truly offensive ads on your billboards promoting violence, sex, and many types of alternative lifestyle campaign ads that millions of people in this country abhor.

Those four words ask a simple question, easily answered. Recent polling suggests that over 70% of the people in this country are concerned about this issue.

Even though never mentioned by name it is obvious to every one that President Obama, who  promised in campaign rhetoric, to be the most honest and transparent administration ever seated is creating one of the most opaque administrations in history when it concerns him personally.

When main stream media and subsidiaries like yours stifle honest questions like this from even seeing the light of day it just goes to the point that many hold in this country that you are a defacto arm of the Obama Machine and in fact prove to many that this IS the year that Journalism died in this country.

One last thing: to stonewall and refuse to explain how a company that is trying to purchase your service has violated your terms of service beyond the statement that they are violating those terms: IE from WND article

 ["Asked why the company considers birth certificate billboards "misleading, offensive, or otherwise incompatible with individual community standards," Kalinowski replied, "I'm not going to go any further than the statement. That's where the industry stands. As the statement says, we strongly support all of our companies' rights to reject copy for any reason."Upon further inquiry, he replied, "I am not going to give you anything more than what's in our statement."]

shows such a total lack of courage to back up your position that it tells me that you cannot support your own statement with any proof that the ad in fact, vioaltes your policies.

When your own local account representative had no problem with the ad and was directed by higher authority to refuse accepting the ad it lets anyone with a brain realize that there is certainly some type of agenda in play-politics or otherwise.

My hope is that this action of yours, receives so much attention, that businesses across the nation look for alternative billboard space for their ads and affect your miserable bottom line even more.

Burn Baby Burn

 

  BREAKING NEWS: Pentagon Burns Soldiers Bibles - Military Chaplains Attacked 

Excerpt from redroom.com blog

“A Pentagon spokesman under the Obama Administration has just acknowledged seizing and burning the privately owned Bibles of American soldiers serving in Afghanistan.  The Bibles had been printed in the local Pashto and Dari languages, and sent by private donors last year to American Christian soldiers and chaplains, for distribution to American troops on overseas military bases during optionally-attended Christian worship services. Had the Bibles not been recently seized and destroyed, they could have legally been given as gifts during off-duty time to Afghani citizens who welcome our troops in their homes, as an expression of American gratitude for Afghani hospitality, promoting the democratic ideals of freedom of religion and freedom of the press.”

Used to be when I joined the military that one of the things you got in your first issue included a small bible. I wonder if that practice still happens as our men and women enter military service today.

It is unbelievable to me that our countries leaders are so politically correct and concerned about their politics and future promotions that they are so quick to tear down the very foundation of our country. If America has veered so far from the vision that our founding fathers had when this country was born in the main for religious personal freedoms that it is perfectly acceptable to [in today’s world] burn the bible, rather than potentially hurt someone’s feelings that hold a different religious view or do not believe in God at all—I fear that soon there will no longer be the America that was a shining beacon to the world of personal freedom and freedom from religious persecution.

The idea of burning the bible to me is begging God for judgment. I am not one to go around saying blaspheme but in this instance, government sanctioned bible burning I believe-is an unholy act that should not go without consequence. Our country was founded, like it or not as a Christian nation on Judeo-Christian Principles. The farther from those principles that we travel the faster it seems our country is adopting amoral and depraved activities that do no one good. We are starting to look a lot like the Roman Empire or the Grecians of old. We see where that went. If we don’t learn from examples from the past—as has often been said we are doomed to repeat them.

When are the Good Christian conservative people that most agree are in the majority in this country, going to stand up in righteous anger and say ENOUGH !? No longer are we going to remain silent to those that demand that we allow viewpoints that are completely at odds with our beliefs to be acceptable in the name of getting along.  It is time to take back our country or see it lost as we knew it in our lifetime.

If you will not stand for anything you will fall for everything!

My Stance:

I Believe That Jesus Christ Is The Risen Son Of God And Through Grace I Am Saved.

I Believe That Homosexuality Is An Abomination To The Lord.

I Believe That Prayer And The Pledge Should Be Immediately Reintroduced In Our Schools.

I Do Not Believe That Gay Lesbian Transgender Lifestyles Should Be Taught As A Perfectly Acceptable Alternative Normal Activity To Our Children.

I Believe That Abortion Is Murder When It Is Performed In Anything Other Than An Immediate Life Threatening Condition For The Mother.

I Believe In Capitalism And A Free Market As The Engine To Build And Grow Our Economy.

I Believe In Being A Good Steward Of Our Natural Resources And That We Should Drill Here-Drill Now And End Our Dependence On Foreign Energy Sources That If Withheld Cripple Us. I Also Believe That We Should Develop Alternative Energy Sources For The Long Term Including Every Idea Currently Known Such As: Wind Ocean And Solar As Well As Look For New Solutions Including Geo Thermal And Hydrogen Power.

I Believe In A Small Federal Government That Serves The States Versus States That Serve The Large Federal Government.

I Believe That We Need A New Tax System-Preferably Based On A National Use Tax Or A Flat Tax.

I Believe in A Strict Adherence To The Constitution as Originally Written With Few Exceptions.

I Believe In State And Federal Government That Exists To Serve The People Rather Than The People Serve At The Pleasure Of The Government.

I Believe That Marriage Is Between One Man And One Woman And That To-- In The Spirit Of Political Correctness, Accept “Civil Unions” Or Whatever Other Euphemism Chosen For This Lifestyle Is Just One More Example Of Accepting And Endorsing Wrong Behavior.

I Do Not Believe That Homosexuals Are Inherently Evil, Many Are Good People That Have Chosen For Whatever Reason An Aberrant Lifestyle And Should Be Loved And Left To Their Own Devices Even As One Tries To Bring Them Back To A Normal Lifestyle As They Permit.

I'm Sure I Could Go On But This Is A Good List That Should Provide Those That Are Interested With A Starting Point To Take A Look At What You Stand For.

Home Is Not The Place To Study The Bible

Home Is Not The Place To Study The Bible!!!


County demands pastor spend thousands on 'Major Use' permit to host friends

Pentagon Burns Soldiers Bibles - Military Chaplains Attacked 


President Obama To The World: “America is no longer a Christian Nation…”


What is going on America? If the headlines above from just the last few weeks doesn’t cause you concern about your freedoms being taken away I don’t know what will. When you add these blatant attacks by the government on our most personal and closely cherished freedoms to the other recent moves towards a fascist government it should let you know that if this continues, the America that we grew up in, and was the greatest testament to the world-- that our way of life was the most open, generous and successful country in the world.

When Government Officials can intrude into the privacy of your home and ask these kind of personal questions:

“Do you have a regular weekly meeting in your home? Do you sing? Do you say 'amen'?" the official reportedly asked. "Do you say, 'Praise the Lord'?"

What is next- do you listen to fox news-do you attend TEA parties-Do you own guns-Do you [you name it]…

The pastor's wife answered yes to the questions above concerning prayer meetings in her home with friends.

“She says she was then told, however, that she must stop holding "religious assemblies" until she and her husband obtain a Major Use Permit from the county, a permit that often involves traffic and environmental studies, compliance with parking and sidewalk regulations and costs that top tens of thousands of dollars.

And if they fail to pay for the MUP, the county official reportedly warned, the couple will be charged escalating fines beginning at $100, then $200, $500, $1000, "and then it will get ugly."

“The First Amendment, in part, reads, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,'" Broyles said. "And that's the key part: 'prohibiting the free exercise.' We believe this is a substantial government burden on the free exercise of religion."

I am so tired of the above quote being misrepresented as meaning that the government must not approve of Christianity in any overt way. The original concept and force behind the statement in the first amendment regarding religion was put in place to ensure that the government didn’t set up an official government sanctioned church—like the Church of England—that did not allow Christians with viewpoints different from the official church to function freely. The founders certainly did not expect the results we live with today--where religions other than the Judeo Christian foundation that they used as the starting point for our country would be given the promotion and approbation and many cases superiority over a Judeo-Christian perspective.

Broyles continued, "If one's home is one's castle, certainly you would the think the free exercise of religion, of all places, could occur in the home." I’d agree how about you?

Barack And A Hard Place

I just do not get it. I understand why the left are predisposed to bow to the messiah no matter the gaff, but it is beyond me why even conservative leaning commentators like O'reilly seem to be hell bent on always giving Obama the benefit of the doubt whenever he does something stupid.
The most overused catchall for forgiveness seems to be: One must honor the Office of the President even if you disagree with the holder of that office. This is true however it should not be an unconditional get out of jail card for the person who more than any one should always have as his top of mind issue, that any thing done or said by the holder of that office directly and immediately has an impact on that office; both at home and abroad friend and foe alike.
During the latest white house correspondence dinner held to roast and toast the president the actions of the messiah when listening to the downright hateful, base and vulgar diatribe flowing from comedian Wanda Sykes blasting Rush Limbaugh, Hannity and Palin who were not even at the event was innapropriate at best. I don't care if Obama personally hates each of those people-as president it his duty to protect the office and not condone such behavior.
Obama Laughing and looking for approbation from those sitting at his table when hearing someone wish for the painful death of Rush Limbaugh was disgusting and not in keeping with the respect the holder of the office of the president should display. When I hear commentators say that you have to give Obama the benefit of the doubt because he is expected to take roasting in a spirit of good will when the comments aren't about him is misleading. Hateful comments uttered in the presidents' presence during public events should be quickly and vehemently knocked down. Maybe not right then but certainly as soon as the event has concluded. Laughing at those type of vulgar and hateful comments is never OK.

Reagan Not Relevant

To Jeb Bush and his group that seem to be endorsing the idea that it is time to leave Reagan and what he represented behind-to be more progressive and forward looking. Time to start "listening" for a new more moderate and mass appeal message.

You people just "don't get it".

You say you want to draw people to your cause--how about you entertaining the idea that you are drawn to the people with a conservative cause--because that is YOUR cause!!!

Over the last few years, and especially the last election cycle, where conservatives lost their voice via the republican platform-- due to the most quote "liberal moderate presidential candidate ever fielded by the republican party-John McCain-" it should have become clear, to the most addle pated critic--that "moderate" positions is not what will sell the conservatives; that by most accounts holds the overwhelming number of votes that can be attained.

Rather than go in search of ideas that you can promote why not do as Reagan did? Promote what you stand for and see who agrees with you and feels that your views are in line with theirs. If your principles and values are truly conservative in nature [Let me spell it our for you here in case you need a reminder]
  • Small Federal Government
  • Tax equal to small government budget
  • True pride in America and being an American
  • Belief in Judeo Christian Roots that founded this country
  • Strong National Defense
  • Belief in the Constitution as it was originally written
  • The notion that the executive branch proposes policies and promotes the American Way/the legislative establishes laws to support policy and the judicial system enforces those laws rather than legislating from the bench to get around the law.
  • Pro life vs Pro Choice [better to error on the side of life versus murder]

How hard is it to work 8 simple ideas into a message that you could promote aggressively as your position. Instead of trying to adapt yourself to whatever feel good, politically correct, focus group endorsed, idea of the moment- for a perceived short term gain, try having the guts to rely on what you believe to be right rather than what everyone else says is the right move.

The only problem I see here is that maybe those ideals are not what you believe in. If that is the case then have the courage to promote the ideals that you do believe in and see what happens.

One could make the case that you already have. This of course means that you do not represent the true ideals of what the republican party/conservative party, really wants and since it appears that you do not want to change you are looking for some way to engage those that do.

It is really very simple {Change Parties or create a new one}

You haven't and will never sell those moderate progressive ideals as being equal to what conservatives are looking for as represented by the only current outlet for them to use: The Republican Party.

Specter The Liar: Turns Traitor

What a difference a day makes as the old song goes.

"I'm a Republican and I'm going to run in the Republican primary and on the Republican ticket."
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 1:23 PM
Specter told Newsweek nineteen days ago that he'd never consider switching parties:
Newsweek: Would you consider running as an independent.
Specter: No.
Newsweek: No? Definitely not?
Specter: I'm a Republican and I'm going to run in the Republican primary and on the Republican ticket.
Newsweek: We talked to Governor Rendell who said that the running joke is that you could easily become a Democrat and if you did, the framework in the state would make things very easy for you.
Specter: I'm not considering it

I'm sure that talking heads and politicians at large will not want to feel boxed in by actually truthfully answer the question when asked if Specter is a liar. I imagine that they will come up with some slick sounding euphemism along the lines of ...well it is hard to tell what is in his mind blah blah blah---

Painful decision my eye~~~ Arlen Specter is just one more example of what the true motivation of many in the house and senate is all about, [power] and why the American people are so angry and fed up.

His statement: "in the course of the last several months since the stimulus vote, I have traveled the state and surveyed the sentiments of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania and public opinion polls, observed other public opinion polls and have found that the prospects for winning a Republican primary are bleak."

So He tested the wind-- and the climate for retaining his seat of power looked "bleak" so he decides to: in essence say "everything that I have done in the last few decades" can be cast aside now because the people that put me in this powerful position, no longer have confidence in my ability to represent them. I will turn traitor to the ideals and people I have used to remain in power and join the team that I think will give me the opportunity to remain in my position of power.

What a great example of politicians that have no core values of representing the wishes of those they supposedly represent. It is all about "ME" and I will say and do whatever it takes to keep "ME" going.

Just sickening to watch.

Lets cut to it- as documented above, specter emphatically denied that he would run as an independent and that he would not consider running as a democrat, that he is and always has been a republican and will run as such in the upcoming elections. HE IS A OUT AND OUT BOLD FACE LIAR-PERIOD-END OF STORY!!! In my judgment and opinion.

That being said good riddance and I hope snowe and otheres of similar ilk quickly follow his lead. The democratic party, in my opinion, is an absolutely appropriate dumping ground for elected officials that have no moral fiber and cannot bring themselves to truly represent the people instead of their own self interest. I am sure that there are plenty more RINO's hiding in the bushes that would feel quite at home there.

If standing for and representing conservative values does not result in the obtaining of a position of power in the government to represent that portion of society, then so be it. I truly hope and pray that it hasn't come to the point where conservative and christian values have no home in this land. I fear that the moochers may be growing in numbers to the point that the only thing that will see the re emergence of those values is; what is so clearly laid out in the story "atlas shrugged".

On a positive note; there are reports that the book is seeing a huge re incarnation. If so, maybe enough clear minded folks reading it will see and hear the peril of what our government is doing right now, (that could have come direct from those prophetic pages) and will take action to ensure such a terrible event never comes to pass in our country.

WHY MR. president


You ran on a platform of transparency and change from "secretive Bush policies" SO---

Why do you fund the non disclosure of your original long form birth certificate [to the tune of $800,000.00 dollars and counting]

Why don't you immediately release TODAY your long form original birth certificate and kill the latest rumor that you intend to release in one to two months a fake document that you have caused to be created in place of your real original - using paper, ink and equipment from that era that is being seasoned to appear aged appropriately.

Why do you refuse to disclose your college transcripts and
financial aid documents?

How did you travel to countries that did not allow travel in their countries on an American passport?

Why does your only living grandmother say that you were born as she looked on in a Kenyan Hospital?

Why did you ask your cousin in the Kenyan Government to seal anything about you from disclosure to concerned questioners?

How can you believe that anyone can spend their way out of debt?

Why do you go out of your way to denigrate America and all she stands for to anyone that will give you airtime especially if it will be published in venue's at odds with everything America stands for up till now?

Why do you uplift dictators and seek their companionship while at the same time distancing yourself from long time allies?

How can you disclose 'secret information' that by its classification has been determined to be harmful to the safety of our nation if improperly published? Ever heard the term traitor?

What leads you to believe that socialistic economic practices that have proven to fail in every place they have been used and endorsed will lead [what has been up till now the most productive and wealthy nation in the history of the world] to our continued success and dominance in world affairs?

Why do you say that America should be viewed as no better or worse than any other nation?

Why are you unable to put forth even one nominee for your cabinet that doesn't have some sort of disqualifying attribute?

I could go on like this for hours but this is enough. Please do not reply via your whitehouse spokesman--he is either an idiot or he fumbles every question put to him due to the fact that even he can't believe the party line you expect him to promote.

Christian Religion in the Public Square

Enough Already.
I've had it. Today I was reading a commentary posted here at the town hall detailing how far quote Christian enterprises will go to not offend any secular endeavor as long as the payoff is big enough: RE: Georgetown and the annoited ones' speech recently held there.

Then we go into Obama's positions that strongly suggest that religious views that aren't watered down in a way that will not potentially offend any other religious tenants held by competing religions are not appropriate for display in the public square.

Finally an article posted at world net daily on an April 29th opening of a portrait portraying Obama in the role of an easily recognizable substitute for Jesus; that is sacriligeous to any Christian, as being totally acceptable is the last straw for me.

When are the conservative majority that profess to be Christians going to stand up in one voice and say enough. I am tired of the screaming minority in this country shaping the debate by continuous tirade and attacks on anyone that has the temerity to voice a dissenting view; whether it be pro life-prayer-moral conduct as outlined in their reference book--the Bible--capitalism and on and on...

If conservatives and christians alike want to keep our country as it was set up in the beginning, as something special, blessed by a Christian God, they had better develop a set of lungs and the courage to step up and out for those beliefs-- without concern of being labeled controversial, racist,unenlightened,non progressive and on and on..you fill in the adjective or quicker than a thief in the night it will be too late and all will be lost.
