The Resistance

There is a resistance in Washington, D.C. now, and it's called the Republican Party. We're outnumbered, outgunned, and fighting an uphill battle against a population that is quickly becoming mostly non-taxpayers. The era of liberty, which requires another R-word that libs don't like...responsibility, is being replaced by the era of handouts, which requires your complacent, docile acceptance of any and every breach of Constitutional protections afforded this nation.

Americans need to be a hell of a lot more discerning in looking at proposed legislation, and they need to look past the words and to actions.

"Don't tell me words don't matter." -- Pres. Obama

Well, Mr. President, don't tell me ACTIONS don't matter. The President has said that he wants to bring in a "new era of responsibility," yet he is proposing, along with House and Senate Democrats, to print $900 billion in free corporate giveaways, and STD prevention, free condoms for kindergarteners, and a plethora of exorbitant government spending programs.

The con artists never tell you that they are about to con you. In Colorado Springs, my current home town, the news reported of an armed burglary that started with a crying woman at an innocent victim's door. She was screaming and crying that she needed to use a phone because her car broke down. As the unwitting victim opened the door to help, her boyfriend, or baby-daddy, or whatever the hell he is, busted through the door, knocking down the victim and holding her family at gunpoint as they ransacked the house. Evil preys on the good intentions of people, and it hopes that you are not paying attention.

Giving corporate bailouts does not mesh with an era of responsibility. In words, President Obama is on the right track. In deed, he is pulling the wool over our eyes, with the help of the mainstream media. How does offering our tax dollars to support abortions overseas usher in an era of responsibility, Mr. President? I fail to see your logic.

On a large scale, we have a Republican party that serves as the resistance. They are the minutemen of our current poilitical era, and they are the last stand we have against an overly oppressive government, hellbent on gaining more power, authority, and getting it's dirty little hands into every aspect of YOUR daily life.

On a smaller, and more important scale, however, we have another resistance within the GOP. This is the resistance of true Conservatives against the mindless sheep who openly call for our leading Conserative voices to shut up so that they can make nice with those who seek to silence us. I've called for Americans to look more closely at the primaries before, and I'm repeating that call now. We simply cannot win an argument against liberal ideology by supplementing our own ideology with theirs. It will not work. It failed in 2006 and 2008, and it will fail again in 2010 unless we do something to act as Conservatives.

To those of you who wear the GOP label, but call for the rest of us to shut up, your days in Congress are numbered. We will pay close attention to the primaries, and you should not be surprised to see many Republicans who have failed to live up to our Conservative principles (who vote for corporate bailouts, who tell the rest of us to shut up, and who acquiesce to the condescension of the liberal establishment) find themselves watching the general elections from home in their proper place as soon-to-be-former Congressmen.

We're bringing CONSERVATIVE back! Sphere: Related Content

Democrats using good old Bait & Switch tactics

For anyone who thinks that these bailouts will not nationalize in some way the private banking, auto, mortgage, etc. industries, think again!

As we hear calls for more "bailouts" to save these uncompetitive companies, we simultaneously hear Democrats clamoring for greater "oversight" of the issuing of the bailout money. It has even been suggested that we need a Car Czar.

Now I'm with all of you, there should be accountability for how the money is spent and who receives it. But I fear that the Republicans are oblivious to the bait & switch tactics at play. The Democrats are appealing to the reasonable conscience when requesting greater oversight. However, this power can be manipulated and abused.

Take the idea of a Car Czar:

• Where does his or her authority end?
• Is it solely in the administration of the money or does it extend to efficiency standards, labor contracts, product placement, green technology, etc.?
• Even if limited to the money, what are the contractual terms governing issuance?
• Can the Car Czar withhold bailout money from a car company that isn't meeting fuel efficiency targets or meeting union benefit demands?
• Can the Car Czar set precedent across the entire U.S. auto-manufacturing industry or is he or she limited to the Big 3 under the Bailout agreement?
• Can the Car Czar impose on other auto-manufacturers the uncompetitive labor requirements that the Big 3 have subjected themselves to?
• Does the Car Czar have authority over import tariffs on foreign owned auto-manufacturers?

These are all questions that need to be asked when Democrats invoke oversight privileges. This may not be a revolution, but the slow coalescing of control over market independence. Government oversight in the hands of ideological soldiers spawns into nationalized control of industry, that's Socialism. It is up to those who oppose this future to keep them in check, challenge their expansion of power, and educate the public on the subversive goals of their actions.

Premature Evacuation

In looking at Sen. Obama's policies, such as calling for the withdrawal of our troops in Iraq while Sen. McCain was calling for the now successful surge, or quickly abandoning our free market traditions for a socialist style system every time the DOW has a down day, I've made a diagnosis.

Sen. Obama and the Liberals suffer from Premature Evacuation Syndrome.

Do you suffer from PES? If so, cure your ailment by voting for the candidate with staying power, resolve, and the courage of conviction in Sen. McCain!
