A Republican “Listening Tour” needs to take notice from Conservatives- we want you to listen, but more importantly, we want you to HEAR what we are saying. I was taught by my dear Grandmother, there is a huge difference between the two. Will the GOP ever “get it” when it comes to taking this reborn Conservative movement in the direction We the People want it to go?

Face some hard facts. Republicans who are trying to recapture this party from it’s Reagan Conservative base are fighting an uphill battle. Conservatives are on the march, organizing into the growing “Tea Party Movement”, and begging for leadership from those who call themselves “leaders”. Constant bickering about who is going to win in the arena of ideas and whether to take the party to the left just a little or move even farther to the Conservative base is going to result in the soon-to-happen-death of the Republican party and the rebirth of a new, more common sense Conservative party. It is time for the GOP to wake up and not just listen, but hear what Conservative voices are trying to tell them.

In Congress, we have Republicans who fail to heed the warnings from the base of supporters and that base is in reality, growing and doing so from people who, for the very first time in their life, are becoming involved in the process from being more than a voter who casts a ballot. There are people what are now paying attention to what is happening and expressing a certain fear of where this nation is heading and I can tell you first hand, they don’t like that direction one bit.

Spending is out of control, government interventions is spreading as if there was no tomorrow, people are not finding comfort, nor lasting belief that wealth redistribution is a good thing. I hear people constantly talking about this administration saying one thing and seeing complete and total opposite action and they are wondering where the Republicans are on this type of tyrannical governance. Instead, we are hearing about a “listening tour”? Is this what our GOP leadership is all about and that being to “take a page from the Democrats playbook”?

We are hearing that Pakistan is facing the possibility of the Taliban taking control of their nation and having their finger on the atomic weapon trigger and I honestly don’t believe for a second they will be unable to contain themselves and not use it. These fanatical Islamic radicals have been trying for several years to get their hands on something more destructive and more feared and they very well  may succeed. What we hear from the administration is “studying the situation” and that they “have a grasp” of what is happening. Somehow they think that they can talk to these people and someway, charm them into submission to surrender their objectives. Well, folks, you can forget that idea. Only from a position of military might and military strength are we going to be able to assure you that this nation is going to continue to be safe from attack. Yet, military budget cuts are not just on the table, but happening right now. Where is the GOP leadership and the demands that our President do more that offer lip service to this national security issue?

We have been saying for years that government spending and the unsustainable level of government must stop. Yet, we find an expansion of government that is never before seen in this nations history. News almost daily is that government needs another $80 billion here, or another $50 billion there, and another $650 billion for health care (socialized medicine), and that taxes are going to be raised on the business and industry that is providing jobs (which will lead to more layoffs and unemployment). The multi-trillion dollar deficits are in the works and the GOP leadership is talking about modifying the proposals “around the edges”, rather than taking the spending issues to the public and asking for support in totally blocking these proposals. Every single politician that took his plan and his strategy to the citizens of this nation can say without backing up, that most battles fought were won with the support of the people. Believe me, WE THE PEOPLE are the ones who can make things happen, but it takes a plan of action from leaders who HEAR what we are saying, and not just listening and giving lip service to what is being said.

Our message is not hidden someplace in an obscure passage, nor in a legislative proposal, nor in a desire to enact a Constitutional amendment. Our message is from our inner fears that we are heading in a direction in which we can never recover. The recovery begins with leaders who understand that fear and stand before Congress and refuse to move from the peoples position. Right, wrong, win or lose, these are leaders who care about the plight and fears of the people and will not compromise that agenda no matter what happens. That is called Principled Leadership and that is what we need from Republicans in order to gain our confidence and our votes. Without that leadership, we may as well elect Howdy Doody to represent us as he probably has a better idea of reality than our “career” politicians have.

Throughout the past few months, I have outlined the major principles that nearly all Conservatives embrace. These are not complicated ideas and not ones that will cost elections. These are principles that one can stand on, develop policy from, and organize a political movement from that will turn this nation back to the basic, founding documents this nation was founded upon.

I have recently considered entering the political arena, yet in the back of my mind, I wonder if principles stand before personalities. The principles I personally stand for are a limited government, reductions in government spending, a more objective and fair taxation method, and a strong defense to protect this nation from all enemies we may face. I stand for these things without compromise and without taking a back seat to anyone. No one needs question where my inner, deepest principles lie, nor do they have to question my love of this nation and all she stands for.

With my very life, I am not only willing to defend her, but willing to take the stand for a free America and one which ALL men, who are created equal, can excel, strive and become the greatest individual God ever created. The foundation of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is not something without meaning, but the very rights we need never fear being taken from us. Yet, we are seeing those very beliefs being taken from the people of this nation with promises of grandeur that will never be fulfilled on the backs of you, I, and our heirs for generations to come. Either we take back our nation from the very government that we are beginning to fear, turn this corner in a 180 degree fashion, or we are going to be nothing less than another “has been” in the annuls of history. Many, as myself, find the specter of entering the public arena with the personal destruction from the oppostion, deters good people from seeking office who would be profound leaders.

Will our alleged “leaders” listen now? I can only pray that they stop the “hearing” and take the principles we are talking about to heart and move in the direction this nation must head for survival. Will the real Conservative GOP please stand up and stand tall.

I ask once again, that you help determine the fate of this nation. On this site, there is a Redress of Grievances petition that outlines many of the Conservative principles I have discussed on this forum. Your signature and your support is needed now, more than ever. We, as a united front, on the basic ideas in this petition, can bring notice to those in Washington that we are not going to roll over and play dead as the Liberal/Statists take this nation down the destructive path it is on. Is fear of retribution holding you back? If that is the case, then the fear you have now is nothing compared to the end result we will be facing in the near future. Stand with those who have already signed this petition and become a part of the NEW Conservative movement that can and will put this nation back on the Constitutional track it must return to for the United States of America to survive. CLICK HERE and join this movement. I personally thank you for your support.

Soon enough, elections will be back in the news. There are three Senators who Michael Steele, RNC Chairman, needs to target. It might surprise you who they are.

The New York Times reported it this way:

The Senate plan, reached in an agreement late Friday between Democrats and three moderate Republicans, focuses somewhat more heavily on tax cuts, provides far less generous health care subsidies for the unemployed and lowers a proposed increase in food stamps.

If you look at the polls, and believe me, the Democrats live and die by the polls, there is a growing number of Americans who understand that this “stimulus” plan is nothing more than another Democratic spending spree. They also understand that someone is going to pay for all of this expanded spending and eventually it will be the American Taxpayer.

Three alledged Moderate Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, and Pennsylvania’s Arlen Specter, negotiated an agreement without one single input from the Republican Conservatives. These are not Republicans, nor are they even Moderates. To put it plainly, they are Democrats with a Republican moniker. It is time to place the target on their back by RNC Chairman, Michael Steele, and primary these Senators completely out of elected office.

Chairman Steele, in his weekly YouTube broadcast, stresses the importance of Conservative ideas being given a fair hearing. This address stressed the point that most Americans have begun to embrace once again.

Unless you haven’t noticed, the MSM journalists are now the Left Wing propaganda machine. Willingly, they support, extol virtue, and report no ill about Liberals. The propaganda machine of Hitler was identical. He killed 6.5 million innocent people with the full support by his media of the lies he told too.

Now I have to ask you if that opening heading is a bit strong? Well, I really don’t think it is because I have a good understanding of the way Adolph Hitler came to power in Germany. There was a time in the 1920′s that Germany had a free and open press. They reported facts and they reported good and bad on everyone and everything in the news. Opinions were left on the Editorial pages and identified accordingly. News was reported and not turned into a “feature story” that made one look virtuous as it destroyed another. Headlines encouraged readers to read the story and not draw the conclusion based on the first paragraph.

Look in the major newspapers today and any reporting about Sen. Obama is slanted in his favor or his errors of judgement is totally ignored. Good examples are his associations from his past. Journalists are totally ignoring them, passing them off to you as unimportant and irrelevant to this election and telling you that they are to be ignored. “Obamamania” has swept the journalistic medium so much so that reporting relevant facts are detrimental to Obama’s chances to be elected, hence, the reporting of glowing opinions within news stories that editors approve willingly and encourage demonstratively about Sen. Obama. There is also a totally biased reporting of any and all opinion against the opposition as facts. It is the goal to print and report a total destruction of someone asking questions, or report any misspoken word or sentence as an “indictment” of unreliability of the opposition. The only examination of Republicans is negative while their examination of the Left is in glowing and supportive terms and content.

The Right to Free speech is guaranteed in our Constitution. Scholars agree that a free and open press falls directly under this First Amendment right and it’s preservation is vital to liberty and freedom necessary for this nation to survive. However, with this vast and unbridled freedom also comes a vital and important responsibility and that is to have all facts presented fairly and without opinion. When opinion of a journalist becomes the printed word as a fact, then no longer are we experiencing the freedom of press, but rather the spread of propaganda that destroys the very fabric of our nation. It was the use of this form of propaganda in the late 20′s and 30′s that allowed Nazism to rise to the power and world domination they briefly enjoyed. (more…)
