Sarah Palin: Warns GOP Establishment to Return to Conservative Roots or Face being Flushed Out the Party

Sarah Palin told Sean Hannity in essence on his radio show that established Republicans days of being Rinos or Democrat-Lite candidates is numbered.

It’s time to clean house of GOP members that are too politically correct and too timid to stand for Conservatism.

I say bravo for Sarah Palin!

My biggest complaint has always been that we have leaders like Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Mike Pence who need to be eventually driven out the party if they don’t show more political courage and less a craving for approval from the Washington elites.

Was Micheal Steele Pulling the Race Card?

If he was, so what!

Micheal Steele can’t seem to catch a break since he’s been head of the RNC.

I’ve had disagreements myself with fellow Conservatives over his perfrormance. My view has always been the same—let the man do his job and keep any critcism private between you and Mr. Steele.

Unfortunately, I’m just a very small fish in the ocean of Conservative blogs.

But, what sense does it make to hammer Steele publically when Lib blogs and the rest of riffaff on the Left will be all to happy to exploit this carping for political gain?

Having spoken my peace, Plum Line reports that Steele gave an interview in the February issue of Washington Magazine in which among other things Steele allegedly says:

“I don’t see stories about the internal operations of the DNC that I see about this operation. Why? Is it because Michael Steele is the chairman, or is it because a black man is chairman?”

Hey, some of you want to charge Steele with pulling the race card, that’s you’re prerogative.

But, race is sometimes a factor in this country.

And I’ll give you an example.

I used to be a New York Jets fan, season tickets and all that.

I root for the New York Giants now.

I’m an old school New York sports fan and you don’t change allegiances that easily. And the reason I left the Jets is because the way team management and the fans treated Herman Edwards, an African American head coach.

Edwards coach the Jets for five years. The Jets made the playoffs 3 of 5 years under his leadership and the 2 yrs that they didn’t make the playoffs, the Jets lost their starting QB for the entire season.

The New York Jets have been a perennial mediocre/bad tean for their entire history. The most noted expression associated with the Jets; “Same Ole’ Jets” after breaking their fans heart once again.

What Edwards did was a significant achievement!

But, that wasn’t good enough for the fans who acted as if the Jets were the football version of the New York Yankees.

I’m not one to bring up “racism” that easily, but I’m sure in my bones if Herman Edwards were White, he’d still be coaching the Jets today.

I’ve been a Republican since 1982, and I truly can’t recall any RNC chairman being knocked around by party members as much as Steele has.

So, if that’s the way Steele feels, brother I understand.

The Irrelevant Files: NAACP Flunks GOP on Civil Rights

If you ask any official of the NAACP which political party they align themselves with, they will tell you that the NAACP is a non-profit organization that does not align themselves with any political party.

So don’t read too much into the NAACP giving failing grades to the Republican on matters of Civil Rights

Some quick points
• All Senate Republicans got an F but two (Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, Maine -- they got C's)

• All Senate Democrats and Independents got A’s, B’s or Incompletes

• Senator Arlen Specter, R-to-D-Penn., got a B
• All House Republicans but 6 got an F -- 5 of those 6 got D’s -- 1 got a C: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida.

• House Republicans scored the lowest of an sub group.

• All BUT 23 House Democrats got A’s, B’s or Incompletes

• All Congressman who scored a 100% were Democrats

• Of the CBC Members ALL but 2 got A’s, Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala., who is moderating his stances in prep for a gubernatorial run, got a B.

Again, let me repeat that the NAACP is apolitical non-profit organization that does not align itself with any particular political party!

Side note: If you as any Black person what is the Black National Anthem? They’ll tell you, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

But, 10 out of 10 Black people won’t know that it was written by a Republican African American.

The Reagan Tidal Wave is Growing

The Democrat Party continues to live in denial.


Scott Brown the New Republican Senator from Massachusetts

For the first time in 42 years Republicans have won a senate seat in Massachusetts.

Why?

Because contrary to the prevailing wisdom among some so-called like Conservatives David Brooks and Colin Powell,



the era of Reagan is not dead! It was only stupidly forgotten. And it took a community organizer from Chicago
to remind the American people how out-of-touch the Democrats are with America.

Conservatism works!



Keep the pressure on!

Mr. Brown is Going to Washinton

It wasn’t suppose to happen!

In a stunning upset in the Blue state of Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown beat Democrat Martha Coakley and sent shock waves across the across the country and most certainly rocked the offices of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and most definitely President Barack Obama.

In one year after Barack Obama’s historic inauguration where Democrats salivated over the prospect of “changing America” into a Liberal Utopian Paradise at the people’s expense, Independent voters in Massachusetts voted in droves to repudiate President Obama’s obscenely expensive Health Care bill.

Scott Brown ran on a simple message that he delivered across the land of John Adams in his pick up truck, “I will be the 41st vote to stop this health care plan and cut your taxes too.”

They came, they voted, he won.

"I voted for Obama because I wanted change. ... I thought he'd bring it to us, but I just don't like the direction that he's heading," said John Triolo, 38, a registered independent who voted in Fitchburg.

Whispers are already making the rounds in Democrat circles in D.C. that despite Brown’s election, the Dems will seek a nuclear option to precede with ObamaCare.

Yes, these guys never learn.

However, some prominent Democrats like Evan Bayh have responded to these rumors with a stern and possibly prophetic warning to his fellow colleagues that such a move can have “catastrophic” consequences in the upcoming 2010 midterm elections in November.

Don’t underestimate the foolishness of the Democrat party.

The wave that started in Virginia with the election of Republican Bob McDonnell picked up enough steam to usher fellow GOPer Chris Christie in New Jersey and continued to tidal wave Scott Brown into Ted Kennedy’s old seat thanks to the ghosts of the Boston Tea party making their presences felt once again.

Scott Brown is going to Washington!

Oh Happy Day!

Joe Lieberman Close to Endorsing Conservative Scott Brown for Senate

It seems that Democrat Joe Lieberman is sticking his finger in the air and noticing the winds of discontent are blowing strong in Massachusetts.

In the bluest of blue states where disgruntled colonists threw boxes of tea into Boston Harbor in 1773 in protest of outrageous taxes imposed by the King of England, that same spirit of patriotism and dissent is welling up in the 2010 special election between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown.




What makes this choice so stunning is that Massachusetts is a Democrat stronghold where registered Democrats out number Republicans 3 to 1. The fact that this race is so close and in one poll Brown has a lead over Coakley tells you one thing.

President Barack Obama’s push to pass a Health Care reform bill that a majority of Americans don’t want has caused the people of Massachusetts to recoil.

Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell recently said that Health Care reform will be a toxic issue for Democrats not only in 2010, but also 2012 as the Democrat party continues to push for a European-style socialized medical care system that has failed everywhere it’s been tried.

As we enter the last 48 hours of the campaign, the people of Massachusetts are getting ready to relive their ancestral past and send a very clear message to Washington and the rest of the world.

Enough is enough!

Scott Brown Getting Support From SEIU Members

American Spectator

WORCESTER, Mass. - Supporters of Republican Scott Brown lined the sides of a street here outside a Democratic rally at Worcester Polytechnic Institute where former President Bill Clinton came to campaign for Martha Coakley.

More than 75 boosters of the GOP candidate turned out for the counter-rally, standing the sub-freezing weather to wave Brown signs and loudly sing (to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic"), "Glory, Hallelujah . . . Send Scott Brown to D.C.!"

Among the Brown supporters were - believe it or not - rank-and-file members of the Service Employees International Union.

"We're Americans - we have our free choice," said one of the SEIU members, who identified herself only as Michelle and said she drove more than 60 miles from Western Massachusetts - "The stepchild of this state" - to show her support for Brown in Worcester.

Not only is Michelle a Brown supporter, but she's also a Tea Party activist who rode 10 hours on a bus to attend last year's 9/12 March on D.C. "I didn't like the slide into socialism," she explained.

Michelle is aware of the importance of Tuesday's election.
"I feel like we're here . . . not just voting for us," she said. "We are casting our vote for the rest of America."

How I Became a Conservative

Being born in Manhattan, and living the first 10 years of my life in the projects, my political persuasion was to be set in stone-Democrat.

However, my parents, who wanted better for their family, brought a house in Queens. It was like moving to a new country of driveways and backyards.

I was trilled!

When I got to high school, I met this guy named Bobby Greene. He was an Irish kid, good basketball, and a Yankees fan. Even though I was a Mets fan, we became good friends. Bobby would always come to class with a copy of the New York Post. I read the Daily News.

“Why do you read that,” he said one day.

“For the sports,” I replied.

“That’s the only section you read?”

“Yeah why?”

“The News is Liberal, and they lie all the time. The Post is Conservative. You need to read the Post.”

“Huh?”

So began my introduction at age 15 to the Opinion section of the paper and the difference between Liberal and Conservative. The funny thing was that I already agreed much more with Conservative thoughts than Liberal.
So I was leaning in that direction.

1979-Iran Hostage Crisis.

When Iranian students took American hostages, it was a very tense affair in my high school. Some Middle Eastern looking students got beat up.

I remembered a movie I saw called Raid on Entebbe or something to that effect, about how the Israelis successfully rescued over 100 hostages that were held in Uganda by PLO terrorists.

Me and Bobby both thought that if a small country like Israel can pull off that kind of operation, surely the greatest military (United States) in the history can do likewise.

Israel waited no more than 3 or 4 days before they mounted a rescue.

The United States?

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

Day 6

Day 7

Day 8….

“What the fucks wrong with Jimmy Carter?” I angrily asked Bobby.

“He’s a pussy! Dems are all like that.” he barked.

It was a very low time for the country. As Americans we felt so ashamed that a rag tag bunch of towelheads held us hostage for 444 days.

Then I saw Ronald Reagan once on the tube and I liked how he talked. At 17, I didn’t understand everything he said, but he projected a strength the country desperately needed.

One day, on my way to school, I saw this big billboard with a picture of Ayatollah Khomeini with a caption that read:

Fight Back Drive 55 MPH

I lost it!

And a full-fledged Reagan Conservative was born.

GOP Still Refuses to Refute Harry Reid’s Slavery Comments

These are Democrats. Ask Sen Byrd.


Remember that line from the movie, Animal House, about committing a really futile gesture?

That’s what I feel like a week after senate majority leader Harry Reid made his outlandish comments about Republicans wanting to stop ObamaCare and Slavery, after doing a Youtube search hoping to find a Republican, any Republican, willing to set the record straight.

I know Mitch McConnell and the other Republicans senators have their hands full offering up amendments highlighting the problems with the healthcare bill the Dems are trying to shove down America’s throat.

I get that.

However, Reid’s comments must be answered by somebody either on the Senate or House specifically refuting the fallacious history of the Democrat party, the original enslavers of Black people and the history of Democrats dragging their collective feet on every Civil Rights bill.

Being offended by Reid’s comments is unacceptable. The GOP has to be more than offended. They have to proactively and categorically set the matter clean.

Democrats were the party of Slavery.

Democrats were the party of Segregation.

And Democrats are the party of Socialism.

I urge all my fellow bloggers to post your own storues about this issue because the Republican party for far too long has allowed he Dems to continue this hogwash for over 40 years.

Until then I post any video from anyone willing to set the record straight as futile as it may be.

J Randy Forbes For President in 2012

With so much going on in the country right now, the debate on Health Care, an act of domestic Terrorism at Fort Hood, Texas, and 10.2% unemployment rate thanks to President Obama’s incompetent economic policies, I feel the need to write about something utterly different in the blogesphere.

J. Randy Forbes came to my attention in the spring when he made an impassioned speech on the House floor in response to President Barack Obama’s assertion that the United States is no longer a Christian nation. I’ve been watching him ever since and I can’t help being impressed with this man.

He’s not only a man of faith, he’s a patriot that oozes Ronald Reagan every time I watch a video of him. In my opinion, J Randy Forbes is everything that Barack Obama is not. Or more plainly, he’s the Anti-Obama that offers a clear choice of Conservatism over Big Government Liberalism.

Nobody heard of Barack Obama prior to 2004 and now he is president. Congressman Forbes may not have the name recognition of a Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney. And I don’t even know if he even seeks the presidency. But, I see great potential in him.

From J Randy Forbes YouTude Page

Randy Forbes represents the diverse and expansive Fourth Congressional District of Virginia. Sworn in after a special election in 2001, he is now serving his fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Randy focuses his efforts in Congress on protecting the security and sovereignty of our nation, preserving the moral and historical roots of our country, strengthening our military and supporting veterans, growing educational opportunities for our children, and promoting economic development through fiscal responsibility.

He serves as a Member of the House Judiciary committee and the House Armed Services Committee, where he is the Ranking Member of the Readiness Subcommittee.

Randy is the founder of the Congressional Prayer Caucus whose purpose is to recognize the vital role that prayer by individuals of all faiths has played in Congress and in America. He is also the founder of the Congressional Modeling and Simulation Caucus, the Congressional China Caucus, and co-chair of the Navy and Marine Corps Caucus.

Randy was born and raised in Chesapeake, Virginia where he still resides with his wife Shirley. He and Shirley have been married since 1978 and have four children: Neil, Jamie, Jordan, and Justin.

A Warning from Ronald Reagan about Socialized Medicine

As the debate rages on in the House of Representatives over Barack Obama’s ill-conceived, deficit-busting, freedom removing, tax increasing and centralized government planned abomination of a Health Care bill, Ronald Reagan warned America about the perils of socialized medicine.

Today, the face of government oppression (Barack Obama) is different, some say historical. But, President Obama is an old package clothed in new bubble wrap. And even if he signs a new Health Care bill into law, I see it as a moment for optimism, because I see it as a death knell of his presidency.

Deuteronomy 23:5

However, the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
