Moving the Marker

As a conservative, I am livid at the discussion and traction given to the thought that the Republican Party is not liberal enough. How absurd is that! That we are even entertaining the discussion that conformity in the name of growing the party is an option, is outrageous. The Republican principles are clear. (Paraphrasing Reagan), ”You don’t join a club because you want to change it, you join because your values are the same”. Ultimately, moving left, would be trading our values, prosperity, and personal liberty for a vote.

We embrace the right of peaceful protest, but do we protest? We know that the right to bear arms was to protect us from an overbearing Government, but we entertain the leftist argument that its about hunting. We know that our education systems are not only broken, but infiltrated by the leftist ideals with intimidating pressures to conform, yet we send our nations future leaders to be indoctrinated. There are answers to gaining the vote without compromise. Are we willing to make the sacrifices? So far I say no.

We have allowed the marker to be moved in the name of political correctness. We now accept the once unacceptable. The question is: What have we been doing while the marker was being moved right under our noses.

We Cannot Forget - We Will Not Forget

Please do yourself a favor and read this paper.

I, myself, have forgotten. Yes, I admit that I have not done near enough to pass on the legacy to my children or that I have not taught what happened 233 years ago. Fortunately, there are those that do who serve to remind me.

Because you can be sure that the State will not tell the story. Our schools water it down. Politicians dismiss it altogether. Society sells it in exchange for social programs and government control - much of which was eradicated by the very people now being dismissed and denied in the political arena.

Ironically, of course, it is the very fight for independence over 200 years ago, which our current administration dismisses, which makes it possible for them to have a voice.

Though the Declaration of Independence may be regarded as a relic and dismissed altogether, and the Constitution may hang by a thread, we cannot forget - we will not forget the price that was paid by those who wrote, signed and gave their lives for these documents.

"And for the support of this Declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." - The 56 signers of the Declaration Of Independence

The Liberal Legacy

There is an excellent article on the American Thinker blog today about the bay of pigs in Cuba. This story, I think, shows the depths that a democrat will go to show that they support Communism and oppose Democracy or, maybe that they will just do ANYTHING to consolidate their power and show that THEY are the ones in charge. A lot of heroes were made that day and we, as a nation, stood by and watched them die.

Here is an Excerpt

When the smoke cleared and their ammo had been expended to the very last
bullet, when a hundred of them lay dead and hundreds more wounded, after their
very mortars and machine gun barrel had almost melted from their furious rates
of fire, after three days of relentless battle, barely 1,400 of them -- without
air support (from the U.S. Carriers just offshore) and without a single
supporting shot by naval artillery (from U.S. cruisers and destroyers poised
just offshore) -- had squared off against 41,000 Castro troops, his entire air
force and squadrons of Soviet tanks. The Cuban freedom-fighters inflicted
casualties of 30 to 1against their Soviet-armed and led enemies.

These are dangerous times. We ALL need to be on our guard.

Pirates or Terrorists

The items that have been on everyone's mind is the situation off the coast of Somolia and the US Container ship that was taken by Pirates. Well they tried to take the ship and those dang Yankees had the audacity to fight back and actually prevent thier ship from being taken. We have also learned that the captain of the ship offered himself up as a hostage so his ship would not be taken.

First let me say that i an not sure why these ships are not armed to the teeth when they go through this area. We KNOW this is a problem in the area, we know the pirates are there. Why? Seriously, I do not understand. If there is some law that says a merchant ship cannot be armed then it is stupid and needs to be ignored. if more pirates are killed or captured, then that would be a deterrent to recruiting more pirates... right? If the pirates knew that anytime they boarded a ship the crew would be armed and fighting back, they MIGHT think twice about boarding that ship.

well this ended well for the US and bad for the pirates and, in a typical thug mannor of thinking, now they have decided that, because we have defended ourselves, that they will kill americans now. see isn't that just great? it's like when you have the audacity to fight back when you are being mugged or assaulted, the perp may run off or he may try to kill you because you thought that you had the right to protect your self.

The Armed forces of the US is not a police force and we have the right and obligation to defend ourselves and our interests. These ships should be armed against such incusions. if the ship is boarded illegally, the pirates deserve what they get and that should be a short drop and a sudden stop. or a bulltet to a vital region they cannot live with out. these people have preyd on International shipping so long with out opposition, they believe it is thier right.

We need to fix that...

This should scare the crap out of you. if it doesn't you should wake the hell up!!

Commie Smurfs?

I know, I know. you are telling yourself 'now he has gone off the deep end. i have read a couple of essays today that i would like to share that make the case rather well.

The Smurfs Were Communists! by Dave Morgan Says the following:

Smurfs shared everything. The food in the Smurf village was stored away in those mushrooms the minute it was harvested and then equally distributed to all the Smurfs throughout the year. No one "farmer Smurf" sold his crop to a "consumer Smurf," or saw his labor exploited by another. It was understood that the crop was for the entire Smurf population, not for the sale or profit of one Smurf alone.

That in it's self is compelling even if you do not read the rest of the piece but, consider this:

The most compelling evidence that the Smurfs were communists comes from their relationship to the arch-villian Gargamel. If you remember, the only thing that Gargamel wanted the Smurfs for was for his own profit. In the first four or five seasons, Gargamel's master plan was to catch the Smurfs, boil them, and turn them into gold. For some reason, in the later years when the show was dying, they started saying that he wanted to eat the poor blue creatures, but for the most part he wanted to turn them into gold. He didn't care about the Smurfs themselves, their culture, or their well-being. All he cared about was getting gold. His only interest in how to get rich, and nothing, nothing would get in his way.

Gargamel was a capitalist.

There are other fine points on this page as well for example Kristen M. Sonntag, Esq said in Are the Smurfs Closet Communists?

In the Comunist Manifesto, Marx says, "In this sense the theory of the Communists may be summed up in a simple sentence: Abolition of private property." Well, all Smurf lands and territories belonged to all of the Smurfs, and there was no way in Hell that any single Smurf could even think of getting away with claiming a plot of land for himself or his own personal benefit or profit. Emphasis mine

Read the whole page there are bound to be other aspects of early morning cartoons that are little more than indoctrination of our children. (one reason why i didn't like Captain Planet or Barney and refused to let my Son watch either)We are entrusted with little skulls full of mush and, half the time, we do not know what gets put in thier brain.

Obama and Change

I have watched the events since the coronation of our new messiah with great vindication. You will have to take me at my word that I find no comfort in the fact that i and many of the Conservative pundits were right about this guy. In fact i think we were all wrong. This guy is more liberal than any of us would have ever dreamed. and one of the first things they do is pass a power grab so huge that Joe Stalin would blush. The sad part is we, the American people, are bending over and saying "give it to me! we NEED this enema" It seems we were wrong about the conservatives being the silent majority in this country. Of course toward the end of the 08 campaign, Obama sounded more like Ronaldus Magnus (Ronald Reagan) than the Republican candidate did.

I am disheartened at the level of complacency that we show toward our Government. We seem to have forgotten that WE, the people, elect the government. they work for us not the other way around. They should rely on us. Instead we have politicians saying what we want to hear in order to get elected. There seems to be no integrity in the process anymore. We rely on a national press core that pushes it's own agenda to vet our candidates for national office and, this election cycle, we have allowed them to choose the candidates they wanted to run. I am not sure that we will be able to elect anyone that will have the testicular fortitude to roll back the changes that will be made when the Spending bill gets through Congress.

I hate to sound defeatist. I REALY do but, I believe they will ignore the will of the people that put them there in the arrogant notion that they know what is best for you. Better than you know your self. I really think we could flood the halls of congress with calls, faxes and letters expressing our displeasure at the ‘stimulus’ bill they are trying to enact and it would make no difference what so ever.

That being said, I will not be one that will call for an armed revolt. There are many that think it is the only way to fix the mess. I do not think there is a need for that. For the last 200+ years we have had a peaceful transfer of power. I believe the Democrats will be beaten in 2012. If that happens and the transfer does not happen, we can talk about it. I do know that in 2010 the Republicans will make great strides in regaining the control we have lost over the last few years.

I do hope that we have learned a lesson and will run as what we are. Small Government, Strong National Defense and safe Homeland Conservatives. As far as a remedy, we are doing what we should be. Call Congress, your representatives, email them fax them. inundate the switchboard with messages that they are on the wrong track and we do not need socialized health care! I am just afraid there are not enough of us to make a difference.
