2016 election deja-vu…

2016 election deja-vu…

By |

Here we go again folks… This is the most disheartening post I’ve written in a long time.

We conservatives have a real problem within our own group. We have various levels of conservatives who feel their level is the true conservative and the rest are either not conservative or too libertarian or whatever. We will take apart any conservative in the election to make sure our conservative gets the nomination or we won’t vote.

I’m as guilty as anyone for this.

Lets go back to 2008, it didn’t matter if Reagan showed up Obama was going to win.

Lets go back to 2012, We had conservatives who actually WORKED with Reagan in DC running and we conservatives failed to back them in favor of another conservative who didn’t make it either. We ended up with Romney and all the polls said he’d win so conservatives said screw it, and he lost.

Now in 2016 we have another shot..The Trumpers are battling the Cruzers and Rubio is getting all the GOP money and support.

When this all shakes out, there’s going to be decision to be made. After Tuesday that decision is going to be more clear.

I have good friends who are on the Trump train, I am not on that train. I’m on the Cruz wagon. My reasoning is very simple. The GOP will accept a Trump presidency, as evident by Christies endorsement. No matter what you hear, the GOP knows this election is more of a vengeance election against the GOP than a support the Republican party, so they won’t come out and say “Trump is okay” that’s a death knell.

But the problem is, we spend 8 months beating Republican candidates bloody, then we give the carcass to the Democrats to pick at the bones a few more months… By the time we vote, we are in such a state of hopelessness that we just want it to stop.

I suggest we all take the “These two are okay with me” stance in regards to Cruz and Trump. Either you are a TRUMP guy and will compromise with Cruz, or you’re a CRUZ guy and will compromise with Trump. But lets knock off the “My guy or No Guy” bullshit and at least pick two.

The Ace of Spades said it best:

I do understand the importance of this election cycle is one that I can’t sit out because Trump isn’t my guy. I’ll pull the trigger for Trump in a heartbeat if he’s the nominee.

Now, if its Rubio or Kasich? Well, lets just cross that bridge if its on fire after Tuesday…

Norway Shooting, Right Wing Terrorism…

Norway Shooting, Right Wing Terrorism…

Let me add a few more salient thoughts on the murder of 93+ people in Norway yesterday.

The anti-gun zealots seem to be latching on to this incident as a reason to add more stringent gun control measures in the USA.

This is not new, they’ve been using every murder by gun as a reason for advancing their agenda of disarming American Citizens.

What I have a real problem with is them telling me I can not protect myself from those who wish to do me or my family harm. We have seen it time and time again, the victim was unarmed the assailant was armed.

In a criminal action: Those with the gun make the rules. Those with the gun have the choice between mercy or violence, death and life. I prefer to have that choice myself. I prefer to have the ability to vote on the choice. IF you don’t feel the need to participate in that scenario its entirely up to you. IF you have such faith in your fellow man that you are willing to put your life in his hands, knock yourself out. I am all for your choice to do just that.

In the incident in Norway, a lone gunman for whatever reason took 93+ lives because HE COULD. IF you dispute that simple truth you are an idiot. Had there been some basic security in place and followed HE wouldn’t have killed anyone or very few. Another truth that is indisputable. Now comes the fun part…

The attacker came upon the camp dressed as a cop. A police officer in uniform is immediately deemed non-threatening. Therefor, it’s understandable to some degree that he was able to kill many. IF an armed cop, gave commands to a captive obedient audience, telling them to get into a perfect range and alignment for “Head count.”  It would be the perfect kill position. I can buy that scenario. I can even understand them obeying the commands because they are not going to QUESTION AUTHORITY right off. Even though there should have been questions. “Why was a cop there, we didn’t call one” But then again there was the truck bomb. So the cop saying something like “There’s been an attack in Oslo and I need to count heads” could diffuse any “Questions”

Truth be told this scenario would probably play out better in a CONSERVATIVE gathering than a liberal gathering here in the states. WHY? Because by ideology alone we view cops as the good guys. Yes there is a libertarian streak that doesn’t like some of the cops duties or actions. But as a whole Conservatives are LAW ABIDING. You don’t see conservative rally’s where the cops are called and we’re throwing rocks. You don’t hear of Rightwing Anarchist rallies. You don’t see it here in the states YET.

Conservative or Republican?

Conservative or Republican?

Evidently moving toward the 2012 election the distinction between Conservative and Republican will be at the forefront. Not to mention, Libertarian. These three political positions are going to be challenged. Now let me say first off that I consider myself a Conservative.

If you want to know some of my beliefs just click the about the author page up top.

I believe in preserving the CONSTITUTION of the United States, I don’t want it changed, I don’t want it to be “Progressed” I think it’s served us well and it should be a sacred document. Do not mess with it unless you get the consent of the people. (i.e Amendments)

A “Republican” is not necessarily a Conservative. Conservatives just align more with that party than the Democrat party. A Republican is more moderate in some areas and more rigid in others compared to a “Conservative” An example of such occurs when Republicans are in the majority of House, Senate or White House. Conservatives tend to be very critical of ANY elected officials that are not upholding Conservative values. Republicans tend to provide cover for their own party. Now I know that will piss some of you Republicans off, but it’s true. Just look back to 2000 thru 2006 to see my point.

Now, we can look to this election and see the distinction between Republicans and Conservatives. What is really funny is, one without the other will result in Democrat reign for eternity. We are entangled by our vision of our nation, we are together in MOST instances on most every issue that confronts us.

One of the things that sets us apart is: You won’t hear a Conservative say “Well we have to compromise our principles on this issue in order to get something later”… Conservatives at one point did that. (Reagan) Today’s conservatives are pretty much done with compromising our principles. We have had it.

It was possible to compromise with yesterdays Democrats, today’s Democrats are NOT the same. These Democrats today are EXTREMISTS compared to the JFK Democrats. Conservatives have moved just as far right as Democrats have moved left. Republicans have become the Democrats of old. So who is left on the right? US Conservatives.

Let me say this. Conservatives are not looking to “Expand the tent” We are looking to educate the population in our core beliefs and if you agree, welcome brother/sister. If not we’ll see you on the field of battle.

We are coming up on the election cycle for our nation. I would like to see us all push for the same candidate in the general election. But in order for that to happen the GOP must put fourth a VIABLE CONSERVATIVE Candidate. We can’t allow another 2008 ticket, and Conservatives will hold the key. Independents are moving away from Democrats in droves and will most likely vote against Obama in 2012. Conservative turnout is paramount to removing Obama.

We must remove “Duh Won”  however there is a cost greater than not removing him. That cost would be electing someone worse. Hard to believe that one worse would come from the right. But IMO it very well could.

One thing I don’t want to do is bash any potential candidate (YET) I think I’ll wait on bashing or supporting one. Most have not announced their candidacy anyway. And it’s kind of interesting to see the media attack dogs out in a pack jumping on any “Potential” Republican candidate.

Lets get this one right folks. Lets put fourth a candidate we can fully support rather than a candidate that requires us to vote AGAINST one.

 

 

GOP Presidential Field… Holy Crap.

Let me just say NO! No to Trump, No to Huckabee, No to Romney, No to any of the “USUAL SUSPECTS” We need a fresh, outside the established confines Conservative Candidate. I am not concerned with so-called electability. I am concerned with ideology, and values. I am concerned that the next candidate has the mindset of  “Been there, tried that, watched it fail and not going back” I want a fighter, I want a go-getter, and I want a person who leads by example.

Now I know there are those in our midst that also say NO to Palin or Daniels or Bachman or whoever and that’s fine too. We all have differing opinions on who would be best to represent us. And I know based on track record we will probably be disappointed in the GOP’s choice in 2012.

Personally I’d pull the lever for Palin, Daniels or Bachman before I did for Romney, Huck or Trump. But I do know there are some serious pressures on removing Obama in 2012. The SCOTUS appointments being first and foremost in my mind. I suggest we all remember the damage that can be done if Obama gets 4 more years.

Palin and Bachman have alienated some very staunch conservatives. But both of them have gained a following of Libertarians and Indys. There is a slim chance that either of them will occupy the White House in 2013.

I’m just kind of throwing it out there that I’m considering all OPTIONS as an educated voter, and I’d suggest ALL of us examine our views and be prepared to fight for the candidate we choose to follow. The field will get narrow real quick after CPAC.

I’m classified as an indy and as of yet I’m severely undecided. I don’t see anyone in the field that makes me jump for joy. IF Allen West jumped into the fray, I’d do backflips.

25 Conservatives Arrested.. Oops, They were “Progressives”

25 Conservatives Arrested.. Oops, They were “Progressives”

More media bias, in other news the sky is blue and water is wet…

25 arrested at California conservative meeting

LA QUINTA, Calif. – Authorities in California say 25 protesters have been arrested for trespassing outside a strategy session of conservative political donors at a Palm Springs-area resort.

Riverside County Deputy Melissa Nieburger (NEE’-bur-gur) said Sunday that the protesters were being booked at Indio Jail and released.

Hundreds of people participated in the mostly peaceful demonstration that had been arranged with authorities, but some protesters crossed the street to the Rancho Las Palmas Resort.

I love the “MOSTLY PEACEFUL” part in the story. IF it were ol ladies in wheel chairs and ol men walking with canes, and it was a “Tea Party”event AND there were no arrests; it would be titled “Extremely radical Sarah Palin-Glenn Beck rally may turn violent”

Can’t wait too much longer for the waking up of America, our media has effectively become the very thing our founders feared. They are an arm of Government now… Is it too late to fix it?

Here’s a video of the “Peaceful Protesters”

Bring on idiot.

An Open letter to Democrats…

An Open letter to Democrats…

By |

To Democrats of the United States of America;

I thought I’d offer a fig leaf of sorts to you.

I’d like to start this letter off by saying SORRY. I feel your pain. Your party has been hijacked for the most part, though I do realize it’s largely your own fault. I’ve been trying to look at the country’s issues with an open mind, and I have seen a couple of things that you may not have seen. I understand that problem as good as anyone because I was a George Bush supporter. Nuff said.

What I’d like you Democrats to look at is the groups around you. You can tell a lot about the state of your party by the supporters of your party. Your eyes will be open only when you differentiate between those supporters and your enemies. You must decide for yourself the path you choose. I am just going to shed a little light on the votes your party receives.

IF you look closely to the supporting cast of your party NOW vs the supporting cast of Democrats during JFK’s days. You will notice a huge difference, JFK actively defended America against Communists and Socialists. JFK was an American first, he believed in this country and he believed this was the best place on earth. And he fought to keep it that way.

Can you say the same thing about the current President? Can you say the same thing about the Leaders of your party?

Now, before I provide you with a short list of your party’s supporters, I want you to know I am not trying to recruit you to the Republican party. I really have little use for them. The two party system is corrupt from the ground up, but that’s a topic for another time.

Let’s look at the list of CURRENT Democrat Supporters. These are folks that vote Democrat, push the NEW Democrat agenda, and basically fund the Democratic machine. I won’t list all of them, because just like both party’s there are the decent supporters that just get lost in the mix. I want to point out the extreme parts

Freedom Socialist Party

Socialist Labor Party of America

Social Democratic Party (1897-1901)

Communist Party

Now if you look at those four  (there are MANY MANY more) and it doesn’t shake you up a bit, then you are where you should be. You should be a 2010 Democrat. IF it does bother you a bit then perhaps you should consider moving away from that party or fighting to get the party back to where it was.

We “former” Republicans have begun that fight with the tea party. Yes, there was some Democrat collateral damage. I am truly sorry that some GOOD Democrats lost in the 2010 election. However; They allowed the NEW Democrat party to push them around and manipulate them. A Lesson maybe? We also managed to re-elect some of the same old tired Republicans that got us in the mess we are in. For that I’m truly sorry too.

We need a strong American Democrat party. We need a strong Republican party. We need the sharing of ideas. However; The Democrat party has become the party of the deranged. The Democrat party has become SOCIALISTS at all cost in most things, and Communists in others while being UN-American in all. America is not built to be governed by elitists. America was not founded on the “Live off the backs of others” mentality that is sweeping the nation. America was made great by hard work, integrity, responsibility and honor. These traits are being forced out. The world has lost a great deal and only time will tell HOW great the loss.

You need to see the direction the New Democrats are headed. I want you to look at your leading House Democrat and the area of the nation she represents. Is that the America you want? Would you be happier if the entire nation was a mirror of Nancy Pelosi’s district? Take it a step further, would you be happier if the entire nation was a mirror of Chicago? These are where these NEW Democrat’s hail from and that is what our nation is to become under their leadership.

Please. I ask you to consider opening your eyes.

IF you took the leading Democrats districts and compared it with the leading Republicans district where would you rather live? IF you were to stand side by side with the supporters of each representative who would you be more comfortable with? IF you honestly answer Nancy Pelosi’s supporters then I say goodbye to you and have a nice life. IF you even thought for a minute that John Boehner’s supporters would be a better fit for you then I suggest you fight very hard to switch course of your party or leave it.

These days are trying times for all TRUE Americans, and I hope that the Democrat party will become an American Political Party again. Right now though I fear the Democrat party is being ran as an ANTI-American Party.

We as a nation do much better when we have center/left Democrats and Right Republicans. For far too long we’ve had far Left Democrats, and Center Left Republicans. And it’s not going well at all from Coast to Coast and abroad.

I ask you to think back to the days when we fought about things without calling each other names. I want you to think about the version of America your leaders want and compare them to what you want. IF you still say you are a Democrat and will follow their lead then I bid you farewell. IF you want to fight it and get the party back, I’ll support you.

Sincerely

ME.

Conservatives vs Republicans…

Conservatives vs Republicans…

After looking around the interweb a bit and checking on some of the more “Moderate” writings of “Right leaning” authors I have come to a realization…

I am a Far Right extremist. (look at the about A&P page) Me and most of my good friends are far right by the MSM standards and by a lot of “Moderates” and I’m okay with that…

Republicans are, for lack of a better word soft on some major issues to the so-called “Right Wing Extremist” and that is okay too.

During this election year the most important thing we can do is to unify behind the things Conservatives  and Republicans have in common. We are seeing what happens when we let the left control the nation and it’s far worse than a lot of us had imagined.

We conservatives are unwilling to compromise on a couple of issues, but there is room for compromise on a host of others if a candidate is STRONG on the basics.

1. National Security Including Illegal Immigration solution (That doesn’t include AMNESTY)

2. 1st and 2nd amendments.

3. fiscal responsibility.

4. Free Market Solutions to our economic woes.

5. A sensible solution to energy. (No more of this global warming BS)

I would like to see us on the right unite during this election around candidates that are at least strong on those issues…

I will soften my stance on a few issues for the greater good in the short term. I will still criticize the RINO’s that have exhibited a reluctance to STAND firm on the basic issues that make us RIGHT minded individuals. And I will still call out those “R’s” that fail to fight some of the other issues that are near and dear to my heart.

In MY opinion a “Republican” started the mess that we find ourselves in. Granted it was under a DEMOCRAT controlled HOUSE, but a REPUBLICAN was President at the time. The REPUBLICAN that softens under the basic issues is a DEMOCRAT.

As of right now, the R’s have the upper hand and the D’s know it. The only way the “D’s” win in November is if WE divide ourselves over trivial issues. We do not need to prove who is “Right enough” we need common sense to prevail and if we let RINO’s and US on the far right implode, the nation and the world will suffer more of the last two years.

This is the first step in my opinion. We are changing the “R’s” for the better. We have successfully moved the Republicans further RIGHT on the spectrum and brought the center back to the middle. Over the last decade the “Center” has moved left and it took Obama to prove it. NOW is the time to strike back.

I’m a big fan of the fight. I don’t like voting for R for R sake. I was happy when Scott Brown got elected to Kennedy’s seat but I never thought for a minute that he’d be anything more than a RINO. And if we elect a house full of Scott Browns we have won nothing.

The basics are what unites us. USE it and we will debate the rest as we repair our nation.
