The tyrany of the minority

What you see to the left is a county map of the United States. The blue counties voted Democrat and the orange sort of color voted Republican. Unless you just popped in here from another galaxy you'd probably say that the Republicans won by a landslide if someone showed you this map. Easily 90% of the geographical land area of the country is overwhelmingly conservative.... yet we just managed to turn the reigns of power over to an Uber Liberal.

The other thing you can draw from this map are the parts of the country where the economy is depressed. Notice that Michigan (firm democrat control) is largely blue. Illinois turns blue towards the northern border (Chicago) and most of Wisconsin follows. Both coasts and the southern border adjoining Mexico, Surprising is Kansas. Democrat Governor yet not one blue county... not one. Look too at Louisiana. A state in democrat control for over 70 years. Bobby Jindal is the current Republican Governor and from this map I don't see even one blue county. From the looks of things the Obama Presidency is a temporary aberration caused by a Republican base pissed off at elected officials who make a sharp left turn as soon as they hit Washington D.C.

The entire collapse can be laid squarely at the feet of the Republican leadership. Since the President is the de facto head of the party he must shoulder a majority of the blame. While democrats always seem to march in lockstep Republicans can't even find the parade field. Even if you do manage to get a few on the parade field they can't agree on a direction. Some want to march centrist.... others move to a more moderate beat..... still others are chanting "your left, your left, your left, left, left."

Neither the leaders of the House nor Senate have stepped up to the plate to try to keep everyone on the same page. The RNC can't seem to figure out who's in charge or which way to the party either. This total and complete lack of leadership is to blame for the election results. Even with the slanted media coverage republicans could have won easily IF they had strong leadership and remembered their Reagan roots.

If the republicans learn nothing else from this loss they need to figure out that you can't beat liberals by trying to out liberal them. Democrats are the party known for trying to herd cats. They are the party of special interest groups. They waste tons of time and energy trying to be all things to all people. Promise PETA this and promise the unions that and promise environmentalists something else. It goes on and on and never ends. Republicans tried this same mindless strategy and their base sat on their collective thumbs in appreciation.

If you can't out liberal a liberal then what do you do? What did Ronald Reagan do? Look at the map again. All those counties that are not blue.... are conservative not republican. They don't give a damn which party you're from. If you're selling a conservative message they're buying. Races won by democrats in the elections which turned the house and senate over to them were all won by democrats running on conservative ideals. Never mind they abandon those ideals as soon as they win.... the point is that they figured out what does win every time it's tried.

Now if something as mentally deficient as a liberal can figure that out how come the "thinking party" people can't? The biggest reason why is that they spend too much time listening to the main stream media and actually believing what they hear. It's like Churchill taking war strategy advice from Hitler! HEY! Republicans! Memorize this! Democrats + Media = all Liberals. They are NOT your friends and they do NOT have your or your nations best interest at heart. All they want is total and absolute control and the power that brings. So congratulations. For being so stupid as to not be able to figure that simple fact out..... Liberals are in complete control. And now you're all sitting around.... licking your wounds..... wondering what went wrong and listening to the media as they tell you how to fix your problems. TURN OFF YOUR TV's! Listening to the left is what GOT you into this mess. Definition of stupid.... doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

So what do you do? Live the conservative ideal. Eat it, sleep it, drink it, bathe in it, breathe it, wrap yourselves in it 24/7. Run on the conservative ideal. DO NOT attempt to appeal to this group or that faction or this demographic or any of that other liberal crap. Get yourself a belly full of conservatism and RUN on it! Nothing else. Smaller government that does those things enumerated by the constitution and little more. Less restrictive regulation. Liberals will whine about the lack of "oversight" but my God! We've got government regulations on how thick ketchup can be! Isn't that going a bit far? CUT TAXES! Do this across the board. The economy works best when those who are earning money get to keep more of it. Redistribution won't work and never has. If it did Cuba would be heaven on earth. How many years has Castro had now to make paradise? He and his cronies have money and power.... the people have nothing. Finally... put the mainstream media on notice that their bias MUST end. They have a constitutional charter to keep the people informed fairly and accurately. They have become a brazen 5th column of the democrat party. They have a socialist agenda and a far left wing bias. They either need to figure out what "fair and balanced" means or have their operating license pulled.

In the coming years you're going to witness the Marxist agenda of the left in action. They are already talking about re instituting the so called "fairness doctrine". Why? Read the communist manifesto. One of the keys to gaining and keeping control of the masses is total and complete control of the media. The left cannot and will not tolerate any voice of disagreement. Your taxes are going to go up so they can "spread the wealth around". In the words of Marx and Engles "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." Of course what you're soon going to discover is that all the money comes from "We the people" and goes to "Them the government."

While the democrats are doing their best to destroy the country and shred the constitution the republican party needs to get on message and organized around a designated leader. They need to eat, sleep and drink the message of Ronald Reagan until conservatism oozes from every pore. Then they need to advance that message to the people of America. No special treatment or favors to this group of that faction. Simple honest conservative ideals for everyone, period.

Conservatism. It works and wins each and every time it's tried!

Column LEFT, march!

Let me, first of all, offer congratulations to President elect Obama. The United States has a long standing tradition of conducting elections which result in a peaceful transfer of power. This time will be no different and stands as a model for the rest of the world.

As much as it pains me to say it, our current President is directly responsible for the democrat ascension to power. Make no mistake. George W. Bush is a republican. He is not, however, a conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan. And, as the leader or the republican party, he has been largely absent in that leadership role.

The result of his hands off political style has been two fold. Number one is that his party has been left to wander aimlessly in the political jungle that is Washington D.C. Number two is that the opposition party has had free reign in both moving political agenda and dominating the media with their message.

President Bush was used to working with democrats in Texas. In Washington D.C. most Texas democrats would be called republicans because their political ideology was not all that politically radical. His desire to work with D.C. democrats was greeted with the expected liberal lip service but there was no physical follow through on their part. Lack of leadership lead to a democrat takeover in the house and senate. Failing to learn anything from that defeat lead directly to the age of Obama and total democrat control in Washington D.C.

Unfortunately the model was out there for anyone to follow if they simply had the political will to do so. That model was established by Ronald Reagan. Regan still had the media to fight but he was largely successful in the political arena. The same media which warned that Reagan should not assume HE had a mandate simply based on a 49 state landslide..... was equally quick to assert that Clinton DID have a mandate even though he only garnered 43% of the vote. Failure of the Bush administration to follow the Reagan model lead to a complete lack of unity within the party and that showed up as as perceived political weakness.

Democrats play for keeps in matters of politics. Any sign of political weakness or uncertainty will be capitalized upon and exploited for political gain. Democrats have no desire to work with any other political party. Their sole goal is total and complete political power at all cost. They are good at talking a great game but what they say requires definition. For example the term "Bi-partisan" is used a lot. To a republican that term means working with the other side to formulate a piece of legislation based on a give and take policy in which both parties have something positive to show for their efforts. To a democrat that term means that the other side must cave and and give the democrats everything they want.

Our Founding Fathers specifically warned against single party rule. The entire concept or the separate but equal branches of government was solely for the purpose of preventing one party from running roughshod over the country. Soon, however, exactly what the founders feared the most will come to pass. Democrats will have absolute control in Washington D.C. Three of the justices on the Supreme Court are due to retire. All three had stated they would stay in office if a republican won this election. With Obama coming to office they will retire and liberal democrat justices will be their replacements. These will be people who, like Obama, have nothing but disdain for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They will be rubber stamped by the democrat controlled senate as the republicans can offer no opposition. The balance of the court will be shifted to the left for generations.

"What's wrong with that?" you might ask. Liberals do not hold to the letter of the law when it comes to interpreting the Constitution. Rather they see the Constitution as an impediment to accomplishing their goals. They prefer a "living breathing" concept by which they can change the document so that it supports their agenda. The example I love to give is that of a poker game. There are set rules for playing the game which offer consistent guidance during play so everyone knows what to expect in any given situation. No matter what hand you happen to hold the rules for play remain constant. Now then.... would you play poker with me if I changed the rules to suit the hand I held at the time? Of course not! But a liberal supreme court will do exactly that by "finding" in the constitution that which they wish to see.

For example.... just yesterday in the state of Virginia democrat Jim Moran made the following frightening statement: "We have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards means of redistributing wealth. And they may be able to maintain that for a while, but it doesn't work in the long run." Do you understand what you just read? This is a liberal government mindset that believes that what YOU work hard to earn isn't yours to keep and do with as you please. The fruits of YOUR labor belong to the government and THEY will tell you what you get to keep and what you must surrender.

If redistribution did, in fact, work then why is the left still calling for more? FDR started the redistribution of wealth with the New Deal program. We've had additional programs since then to include "The Great Society" and Clinton's programs. Since FDR these programs have taken well over a trillion dollars from the "haves" and given it to the "have nots." Enough wealth has been transferred over the years that every "poor" person in America should be a millionaire. Yet there are still folks who do well and those who do not. Why? Ambition.

If you have a strong desire to succeed and do what is necessary then you can succeed. If your ambition has been taken away from you by years of big government welfare programs.... then you are likely to remain unsuccessful. Even if the government GAVE the poor all the money they want.... say a million dollars.... in less than two years 99.8% of those people would be statistically poor again. Government had deliberately failed to give these people the skills and tools to be able to handle monetary success. This is by design in order to always have a class of people who need government to take care of them.

Thus we are about to enter the age of Obama and total democrat control in Washington. The damage this cabal will be able to wreak on American is almost beyond comprehension. But then again can a President who was endorsed by the likes of Hammas, the Palestinian Liberation Front, Mahmoud Amadinejad - President of Iran and Kim Jong-il - President of North Korea really be all that bad?

Left or Right.... we'll know November 5th

It's not being overly simplistic to state that this election might very well be the most critical event in the history of America since the revolutionary war. America is literally at a political cross road with today's vote. The road to the right is the one I prefer because that road serves to continue the advance of the great experiment in freedom and liberty that IS America. The road to the left is clearly nothing more than a direct retreat into the "safety and security" of socialism.

Many point to George W. Bush as having been "the worst president in the history of America." 98% of those pointing fingers are already socialists (members of the media) so they have an agenda and an axe to grind. While President Bush is a republican he is FAR from being a conservative. And while he's served as President he has largely been a hands off person when it comes to providing political leadership.

The model is out there for anyone who takes a moment to investigate. Ronald Reagan talked the talk and walked the walk. While he held that there was always room at the table for divergent opinions and viewpoints it was also clear that the final decision (and responsibility) was always his and his alone.

The Democrats and the media (same thing) spoke ill of President Reagan for as long as he was a political figure. The fact that they had the freedom to DO that for 8 straight years speaks volumes about his ideas of freedom and liberty. The lefts unhinged attacks on "Joe the Plumber" and their laundry list of innuendo and outright lies against anyone who opposed them also speaks volumes about who they are.

Even now Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is rubbing his hands together with glee over the possibility of getting the "fairness doctrine" reinstated. Most of you are not old enough to remember radio during the so called fairness doctrine. This one piece of leftist legislation was nearly responsible to the complete elimination of radio as a viable media source. It basically says that if there is anything being said on the air that the ruling class doesn't agree with.... then the station MUST provide equal FREE air time to the politically correct point of view. Stations tried this for a while but who, in their right minds, wants to listen to some amateur ideologue launch into a pointless political Tirade? Answer? Not many. People quit listening, advertisers were loosing money due to lost business.... radio almost died.

The only option general managers had left was to not broadcast *anything* which the left might disagree with. What resulted was the most insipidly mind numbing radio in the history of the planet. Hour after hour of aunt Clara telling people how she knits booties for her grand children.... Wilbur bloviating endlessly about the process he goes through to get his prize hogs fed each night. NOTHING at all of any interest to anyone..... but also nothing at all to raise the ire of those in political power. Fear of the government is NOT what this nation is about.

There are so many warning flags waving out there that it's amazing to me that any truly unbiased media could ignore them all. FOX news has done some reporting but the traditional networks have done their level best to make sure that nothing potentially harmful to their agenda and candidate sees the light of day.

Have we got a copy of Obama's birth certificate yet? Nope! Anyone in the main stream media pitching a bitch about that? Nope! Did that certificate suddenly get "officially sealed" by order of the Democrat governor of the state? Yep! Any media interest as to why that might be? Nope! Folks... good chance we're about to put someone in the white house who isn't even eligible to run for the office!

What does Obama really think about key issues that affect America? How was he as a student in college? It seems that is another informational black hole and , once again, the media is showing NO interest at all in rooting out the truth. As with his birth certificate, Mr. Obama's school records have all been officially sealed. Can't discover his grades.... can't read any of his term papers... can't find out anything about what he thinks. Is this a problem for the media? Of course not. Obama is their guy so it's no problem at all and no interest at all in trying to find out what was sealed or why.

What we DO know about Obama is absolutely frightening! The people he seeks out and chooses to associate with speak volumes about his character. Bill Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground and admitted bomber of Government facilities. Obama launched is bid for the oval office in Mr. Ayers living room. Mr Ayers did say he had one regret about his radical past. He said he regretted having not bombed MORE!

Rev. Wright.... pastor of Obama's church for over 20 years. Rev. Wright believes in a separate "Black America" and preaches hatred of whites each and every Sunday. His now infamous "God damn America" sermon gets NO media attention at all. Unlike Mr. Ayers the Rev. Wright has no regrets at all.

Mr Raines, former head of Fanny Mae, is another friend and advisor. Franklin Raines managed to make himself 90 MILLION dollars richer in the 4 years he headed Fanny Mae..... all the while Fanny Mae was going down the tubes. The democrat controlled house and senate gave him a free pass (as did the media) and let him take the money and run off to a safe retirement. Mr. Raines has served as financial advisor for the Obama campaign and could wind up as Fed Chairman if Obama wins.

Then we have the shady deal that got Mr. Obama into his home at 1/2 the market price thanks to Tony Rezko. But, once again, nothing here to raise a single eyebrow in the main stream media. Can you imagine the investigations that would be on going if a republican had even a HINT of any of these sort of associations? It would be all you'd hear and see 24/7 on all the usual networks. The fact that you're NOT getting 24/7 media coverage of these things should be setting off every red flag you have!

At the minimum the candidate backed by the media may not even be eligible to run for that office, may have a long history of radical left wing leanings, seems to not have a problem associating with anarchists, separatists, folks with nonexistent ethical standards and other forms of questionable life.

Sadly... it seems that most of America doesn't care about any of these things and seems likely to elect this socialist thug. Equally sad is that once he has that power and that office.... there is a good chance he'll be there for quite some time.... as will the democrat party. The damage they will be able to do will take generations of true Americans to undo.
