When pride cometh, then cometh shame
Proverbs 11.2

Soon to be former Democrat New York state governor, Eliot Spitzer. . .
Wait!
Let's read that again.
Soon to be former Democrat New York state governor, Eliot Spitzer. . .
I admit, I like the look of those words!
Anyway, to continue, the soon to be former New York state governor, Eliot Spitzer, was forced out of office today due to one dalliance too many as he has been implicated in not only hiring high-end prostitutes, but crossing state lines with them, a very big no-no, and hiding the money used in said transactions.
The reason this is as big a story as it is because Mr. Spitzer was the New York state attorney general for eight years before winning the governor's office in 2006 in the largest landslide in New York state history.
And, allegedly, a lot of these actions took place not only while he was the attorney general, but while he was making a splash by going after, I kid you not, prostitute rings!
The reason that Mr. Spitzer was even found out was because the IRS was investigating the financial dealings of the high-end "escort" service, the Emperor's Club. Mr. Spitzer is allegedly "client no. 9" according to reports http://FoxNews.com.
Forgetting all the legal mumbo-jumbo, lets look at the ramifications of the actions of the once dubbed "Mr. Clean" of New York politics.
Many people do not think that prostitution is a big deal and some advocate decriminalizing it. Those advocates regard prostitution as a "victimless" crime at worst.
But the fact is that prostitution is still illegal in much of the United States. Also, there is a little something called the Mann act which makes it a federal offense to take a prostitute across state lines to engage in hanky-panky.
Oh, and one should not be playing a shell game with money that was going to the Emperor's Club to send a woman from New York City to Washington D. C.-on Valentine's Day no less-to provide sexual services for a governor, one time state attorney general who should have known better.
But, Mr. Spitzer apparently thinks that there are two kinds of law.
One is that white-collar criminals, Mr. Spitzer's speciality, is a mortal threat to American society. Mr. Spitzer went after them with a zealousness of a biblical prophet. Many a person on Wall Street were accused of crimes, prosecuted and sent to prison.
And there were nuisance crimes like prostitution. To make it completely, one has to at least pay lip service to ending this scourge on modern life. And, Mr. Spitzer did just that. And, of course he bragged about it.
While Mr. Spitzer has been accused of cavorting with high-end prostitutes for anywhere from six to 10 years, he was sending some "pimps" to prison while getting his taste of the spoils.
There is the background.
The real story is what was Mr. Spitzer thinking while "hooking up"? How did Mrs. Spitzer, who like so many beaten wives, stood there while her man resigned the office of governor, not know what was going on? And the fact that this deviant has three young daughters adds the dimension of would he like his daughter's to aspire to be a whore?
What Mr. Spitzer was thinking may have been that he could get away with it. After all, he had a reputation above reproach. He went with a vengeance after those eeeeviiiiilllll corporate crooks. Got a lot of convictions and sent some to prison. Because of the high that he must have got at going after people that he really thought were evil, he had to release it somewhere. Maybe Mrs. Spitzer did not like the way he wanted to release that tension. Only the Spitzer's know that.
Speaking of Mrs. Spitzer, why did she just stand there like a potted plant while her husband all but humiliated her in public? Why do any of these wives stand with their deviant men while they prostate for forgiveness? What Mrs. Spitzer should have done is socked Mr. Spitzer one right in the chops. All I can think is that Mrs. Spitzer must have known something was not right with Mr. Spitzer. Otherwise, if I did to Mrs. rightviewfromtheleftcoast what Mr. Spitzer did to Mrs. Spitzer, I would have been smacked around on national television and rightfully so.
Most awful is the fact that Mr. Spitzer has three young daughters. Can they be proud of their father now? Of course not. What they realize is that their father does not think much of women in general. That he would not take the marriage vows seriously and stooped to buying high-end whores. What an example he has set. And, what would Mr. Spitzer say if one of the said daughters came to him and said one day, "Dad, I just got a new job" "Wonderful, what is it?" "I'm a high-end whore! Isn't that great dad?"
It is shameful that this arrogant man would have to do what he did to get his kicks. But that he drags his wife and daughters in this sordid tale shows that the ol' proverb is oh so true.

Good To See Rep. King Does Not Back Down

I am very happy that Iowa Congressman Steve King did not back down from his comments regarding a potential Sen. St. Barack Obama victory in November http://www.qctimes.com/articles/2008/03/10/news/local/doc47d5e3.
Despite a strong rebuke by members of Sen. John "F--- You" McCain, Rep. King only elaborated what he meant by his comments and it is nothing more than affirmation. And there is nothing wrong with someone standing by what he says rather than back pedaling and caving into politically correct land, a sad land indeed.
Again, what Rep. King said is truth. It is too bad than Camp McCain can not jump on the Steve King Straight Talk Express.

Can We Not Speak The Truth About Electing St. Barack?

It appears that in Sen. John "F--- You" McCain's attempt to be a "civil" Republican presidential nominee, a supporter can not speak the truth about what potentially electing St. Barack Obama, er Sen. Barack Obama, would mean.
Ask Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa).
He told a local newspaper http://www.spencerdailyreporter.com/story/1316727.html that a win by St. Barack would lead to "dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they (radical Islamics) did on September 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror."
There is not one thing wrong with that statement.
One can argue that the Socialists won the 2004 Spanish national elections due to terrorism committed by al-Queda on the Spanish commuter rail system in Madrid that killed 191 people. The election then was very close and the terror act send Spaniards into the hands of the party that said it wanted to leave Iraq.
Oh, maybe it was the fact that Rep. King might have strayed into that middle name of St. Barack's. You know, the one respectable people do not say. HUSSEIN! Yes, it is St. Barack's middle name. Too bad it is a very popular Islamic name, sometimes first but mostly a last name. And, St. Barack was named as a junior as his father, a real paragon of virtue, was Barack Hussein Obama.
But, what Rep. King said was that St. Barack's middle name does matter "because they (radical Islamics) read a meaning into that.
Now, we all know that St. Barack is a committed and practicing Christian. Not my kind of Christian, but a Christian none the less.
But, Rep. King is right. The radical Islamics do read a lot into the name and the fact that St. Barack has said throughout his campaign that he will withdraw all United States forces in the Iraq theatre in the War Against Islamofacsist Terror. He has not backed down.
But, leave to the allies of Sen. "F--- You" McCain to say "F--- You" to a supporter, Rep. King, who states the obvious.
Sen. "F--- You" McCain's travelling press secretary, Brooke Buchanan, said that Rep. King had no affiliation with the McCain campaign. Nice to deny that an actual supporter have nothing to do with the campaign?!?!?! http://FoxNews.com. But, Brookie baby continues:
The senator has been clear that he intends to keep this campaign about the issues. He has condemned similar comments by (radio talk show host) Bill Cunningham. He doesn't agree with (Rep) King's comments. He (McCain) intends to run a respectful race and keep it about the issues.
Such pablum!
What Rep. King brought up is a legitimate issue. How the world could perceive the American people electing St. Barack Obama. The middle name thing is that it is an issue. And, in some defense of St. Barack, he could have changed his middle name long ago. He did not. So, he is stuck with it, warts and all. And, he will get some serious commentary about what the name really means to him. And, if he were smart, he would meet it head on and stop whining about it.
Since I believe that Sen. "F--- You" McCain wants to be president, if St. Barack is in fact the Democrat nominee for president, the erstwhile senator will have to find a way to work all of this as part of his campaign. Like it or not, it is an issue.
For the record, Rep. King said that he meant no disrespect about St. Barack's middle name. And, I believe that. Because Rep. King said the obvious, chalk up another supporter run under the Straight Poop Express.
Sen. "F--- You" McCain better get this through his noggin.
This is the big time. Whoever the Democrat nominee is, either St. Barack or Hillary Clinton, they are going to come on you like a ton of bricks and about that much in anvil weight. The Democrats smell total domination of government, the White House and both houses of congress. They will not play by the Marquis of Queensbury rules. They will, if they have to, stoop to the depths of the gutter to take you out.
When that time comes, if you keep throwing your supporters who speak the truth under the Straight Poop Express, there will be few if any left to defend you. It is a two-way street.
For a supporter of Rep. King's stature to be thrown off because he may have, and I stress may have, been a wee bit hyper in the rhetoric department, it shows one of the weaknesses of Sen. "F--- You" McCain's campaign. How they will or will not take on St. Barack Obama.

This Is NOT Justice

In the United States, one expects a judge and or a commissioner to rule on a case based on law, not ones personal beliefs. But, for a children's court commissioner here in California, her views on the War Against Islamofacsist Terror in the Iraq theatre blinded her to ruin a great beginning to a foster child in the United States Marine Corps http://www.dailynews.com/ci_8482917.
Los Angeles county superior court commissioner Marylin Mackel denied Shawn Sage, 17, to sign up early to join the Marine Corps and the be in the sniper corps.
According to marine recruiter, Sgt. Guillermo Medrano, Commissioner Mackel said the following:
All recruiters are the same. They all tap dance and tell me what I want to hear. And then, according to Sgt. Medrano, commissioner Mackel said I don't want him to fight in it (the Iraq war).
So, a judicial activist denies a foster child who has his head on straight and a career path a chance to sign on to the Marine Corps, attaining a $10,000 signing bonus, and a chance to serve his country. What a surprise!
But, Mr. Sage is not taking this laying down. Already, Mr. Sage is acting like the marine that he wants to be.
Mr. Sage participated in a state assemblyman's Write A Bill challenge and won the contest.
State assemblyman Cameron Smyth (R-Santa Clarita) has introduced a bill in the California state assembly that would allow all foster children age 17 and older the right to sign up for the armed services without having to seek the consent of a judge/commissioner. The foster child could do so with the permission of the foster parent or a social worker.
Mr. Smyth said the following:
Here is one impressive young man who somehow made it through the challenge of the foster system, had a clear sense of a career path and was denied that opportunity by a judge basically because of her personal bias. Amen, brother!
The fact is that since Mr. Sage was seven years old, he wanted to be a marine. By participating in the USMC Delayed Entry Program, Mr. Sage was encouraged to finish his high school education and also to better his skills, eat healthy and all that it takes to be a marine.
Yet somehow, this is not a good choice for Commissioner Mackel because she is opposed to the United States liberation of Iraq and the fact that, wether she likes it or not, it is the front line in the War Against Islamofacsist Terror. I would like to know if this was peacetime, would same commissioner have allowed Mr. Sage to participate in the program? And, of course all Commissioner Mackel has done is delayed the inevitable and thus keeping Mr. Sage back when he would be ahead of the game and on his chosen path.
And the left wonders why conservatives and those who oppose judicial activism of this sort have hostility towards the so-called independent judiciary.
Independence does not mean that a judge can or should make a ruling based on their opinions and or prejudices. It belittles the purpose of the judiciary, which is to be unbiased and to use the law to make correct and just rulings.
Sometime next week, the transcripts of the hearing denying Mr. Sage his right to become a marine will be made public. It will be interesting what kind of socialbabble this commissioner will have used to deny a right to a young man who has already had a crummy start to life, being abandoned by his biological parents when he was two years old.
Hopefully, the crazed lefty Democrats that control the state assembly will let Mr. Smyth's bill, AB 2238, come up to the floor for an up-or-down vote. If they and the state senate pass the bill and Governor Arnold signs it, this will be true justice won for Mr. Sage and those that will follow him.
Because justice was denied by one of those judges' that know what is better for us than us.

Could The Jerusalem Slaughter Happen Here?

Tonight the State Of Israel is in a state of shock as an Arab Israeli opened fire in a Jewish Rabbinical seminary in the heart of Jerusalem. Eight were killed and four were injured before an armed civilian killed the gunman http://FoxNews.com, http://drudgereport.com, http://hughhewitt.com.
The question is, can it and the rocket attacks that strike southern Israel from the Hamas-dominated Gaza Strip happen here?
You betcha! And do not think that it would be limited to Jewish seminaries.
Liken what happened today to an ardent Protestant who went to a Roman Catholic seminary in Washington, D. C. with the murder of as many Roman Catholics as possible. Or, vice-versa. Or a Jewish gunman who went to an Islamic seminary with the mission to take out as many Islamics as possible.
Before any one thinks, "It could never happen here." one better realize this. That it is the way that the majority of Israelis live every single day. There is nowhere safe when a brutal attack takes place in the capital deep in the heart of Israel.
The open hostility to rabbinical students should be proof positive that the Arabs, and by extension the radical Islamics, do not just hate the existence of the State Of Israel, but the Jewish religion itself.
The hatred of Judaism in the Arab world is rampant. In Egypt, an Arab nation that has diplomatic relations with Israel, official state television presented a whole mini-series based on the "Protocol Of The Elders Of Zion", the Czarist Russian hit piece book that claimed a massive Jewish conspiracy to take over the world. The "Protocols" has long been discredited, but is taken as gospel in the Arab world. And among many, probably a large majority of Islamics and anti-Semitic Christians, many in the Mainline Protestant denominations that have sided with radical "Palestinians" and Islamics.
Jews in Arab and or Islamic-dominated nations live in fear and religious persecution. Now, with this brutal attack, they live in fear in their own homeland.
Yes, this can happen here and more than likely it will, God forbid. And it may happen sooner than we want to think as we continue to battle and defeat the radical Islamics and al-Queda.
But, we can not cut, run, and hide in the United States thinking that nothing will happen to us. I believe that 9/11 proved that to be wrong.
This is a stark reminder of the stakes in the upcoming presidential election. We know what Sen. John "F--- You" McCain would do and what Sens. Hillary Clinton and St. Barack Obama would do, or in their case not do.
All should pray for those who died and those that are injured. And let this not weaken Israel's or the United States' resolve in finding and taking out those who want this madness to continue.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
If you should go to any of the websites that I linked, be prepared for some of the most gruesome photos you will see. I forgot that disclaimer in the beginning of this post.

Let's Talk About Obama's Church

Since the Dinosaur, Drive-By, Mainstream Media spent much of the early Republican primary season assaulting Mitt Romney and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons, maybe it is time to look at the Church of St. Barack Obama.
And, what a church it is!
St. Barack is a member of and attends Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago http://tucc.org.
Now, as noted in this blog several times, the UCC is the most liberal denomination in American Christendom. Makes my Episcopal Church look like the Southern Baptist Convention!
But Trinity, well Trinity is a church that is a, how can I write this, a black church. Not any black church but "Unashamedly Black and Unaplogetically Christian."
Now, I do not understand what it is to be unashamedly black. Of course there is not one thing to be ashamed of. It is how God created his people. I do understand being unaplogetically Christian. One should never have to apologize for being a follower of Jesus Christ.
But I think where it goes off the rails is the 10-point "Vision" of the Trinity United Church of Christ:
1) A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2) A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3) A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4) A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5) A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6) A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7) A congregation committed to HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8) A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9) A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10) A congregation committed to ECONOMIC PARITY.
WOW!
Where do I begin?
Nothing wrong with the first three points. It is traditional Christian thinking.
But, what does a commitment to Africa have to do with spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
Or "cultural education?" What does that mean? Obviously it is an "African" education.
And what about a "Historical education of African people in Diaspora?" Now, we know that blacks where brought out of Africa, at the hands of other blacks, mostly through the slave trade. Is St. Barack's church teaching that? I doubt it.
"Liberation" means black liberation. But what are they liberating? Do they want to take over the United States? Do they want a black "homeland" here? Do they want to go back to Africa?
And "economic parity" is clear. Socialism.
This "church" had been led by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, but he is being replaced this year. He had been spewing this rubbish for 36 years.
Basically, what Trinity preaches is a ostensibly black, Christian separatist movement.
Not one thing unifying about it.
It is no wonder that Pastor Wright does not see anything wrong with "Minister" Louis Farakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. Mr. Farakhan is one of the most racist religious leaders in the United States. He, like Pastor Smith, believes in black separatism.
Now, the question is does St. Barack support all of this rubbish? If he does, then how can he run as the candidate of change and hope and unity? Is that just for "disadvantaged" blacks? And, what was St. Barack doing as a "community organizer" in the first place?
Again, Mormon doctrine was under attack and Mitt Romney had do explain it as much as possible. Why does St. Barack get a pass? And should he?
Go to the Trinity website, look it over and judge for yourself. I have and it is very disturbing and we all need to know more about this "church".

It's Official-The Mac Is It!

As of tonight, we can officially call Arizona senator John "F--- You" McCain the 2008 Republican presidential nominee. And the former Arkansas governor, the Rev. Mike Huckabee, has called it a day once the senator pulled a four-state sweep and the comensurate number of delagates, 1,191.
It was a very dramatic comeback for Sen. "F--- You" McCain who six months ago was all but given up for an also ran who may not have made it out of New Hampshire.
But for many Republicans, there is one over ridding issue. The War Against Islamofascist Terror. And because of that, Sen. "F--- You" McCain is the Republican nominee.
No, Sen. "F--- You" McCain is not the most conservative Republican to be the nominee. Many of us have a lot of problems with him. But, he is considerably better than either Laurel and Hardy, er Sens. Clinton and Obama, who the Democrats will at some point nominate for their presidential candidate.
And here is one thing that I hold out hope for.
That as President McCain, he will be more of a conservative than he has been in the senate.
Being the Commander-In-Chief has a way of doing that.
Whether we like it or not, he is our guy and this conservative Republican will be voting for John McCain in November.

Gloria Steinem Is A Moral Midget

Ah, one of the Grand Dames of the left-wing feminist movement, Gloria Steinem, proved over the weekend that she is nothing but a moral midget in slamming Sen. John "F--- You" McCain over his time as a "guest" of the Hanoi Hilton.
According to Miss Steinem:
Suppose that John McCain had been Joan McCain, had got captured, shot down and had been a POW for eight years? "What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do there while a prisoner for eight years." I mean, hello? This is supposed to be a qualification to be president? I don't think so. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/03/clinton-surroa.html
One does not know where to start, but I will correct the order of events, firstly.
John McCain was shot down and then taken prisoner and it was for five years.
Now that the time line is straight, what I do not understand is the female-male analogy.
Is Miss Steinem suggesting that a Joan McCain would have done something wrong to get shot down and captured? And that she would have been a sell-out while in captivity? That is so wrong. Miss Steinem is playing the victim card with gusto. She is putting women back oh, say about a hundred years at the short end. If a woman had been in the same exact circumstance as John McCain, she would have done the same thing.
As far as a qualification for being president, no it is no better than Sen. John Kerry possibly fabricating stories to obtain his medals. And being in the armed services does not make anyone more or less qualified to be elected president.
I have spent a lot of time on this blog writing about the political disagreements I have with Sen. "F--- You" McCain. But they are not personal. It is about policy. Even the "F--- You" McCain is nothing more than a little humor over his "F--- You" bomb to Sen. John Cornyn of Texas during the infamous immigration bill-scam debate.
But I will NEVER, EVER denigrate his character or what he endured as a prisoner of the brutal Red Vietnamese. John McCain went through unmentionable hell as a prisoner. He came back physically a broken man, to a nation that was so torn it could not show him the proper gratitude he and so many others deserved for going to a war that the United States did not have the will to win.
That is why I know that he wants the United States to not only win in the Iraq theatre in the War Against Islamofascist Terror, but to defeat the Islamoterrorists all over the world. John McCain know better than most Americans what it is like to not only lose a war, Vietnam, but to come home to a seemingly ungrateful nation.
It is why at the end of the day, I will cast my vote for Sen. John "F--- You" McCain. For if the terrorists are afraid of President Bush, they will be petrified at a President McCain.
For Gloria Steinem to use the abuse that John McCain took at the hands of the Red Vietnamese and mock it shows why she is nothing but an ignorant, moral midget. And, Hillary Clinton should apologize to Sen. McCain yesterday.

Critizizing St. Barack's Positions Are An Assault On The New Deity

It appears that The New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle are leading the DDBMSM covering for the new American prophet of change and hope, St. Barack (No middle name) Obama.
The column in the Chronicle is hilarious because it is what the left really thinks about those who oppose the policies and positions of St. Barack http://www.sfgate.com/columnists/morford/.
One Mark Morford starts by dismissing those who like to say St. Barack's full name, Barack Hussein Obama. I guess it is because us evil, conservative Republicans want to link the clearly Islamic name to the possibility that St. Barack is not a saint, but Islamic. Too bad that all the controversy was started by supporters of the Sen. Hillary Clinton campaign.
Then Mr. Morford goes on a rant about Sen. John "F--- You" McCain, WalMart, trailer parks and bunkers filled with Ding-Dongs and Coors beer. And that is all in the third paragraph!
The crux of Mr. Morford's sick rant is that to oppose the positions means one opposes the candidate because is is a white and black man. Oh, Mr. Morford does not include the fact that St. Barack is bi-racial. Mr. Morford chooses to emphasize St. Barack's blackness. Who is the real racist here?
Mr. Morford asks with venomous sarcasm how the Republicans will attack St. Barack. How nefarious, racist and draconian will these Republicans get.
Mr. Morford dismisses real issues because he must be caught up in the St. Barack rapture.
Oh, Mr. Morford readily admits that St. Barack does not have much about his as compared to Sen. Clinton. But, Sen. Clinton has a lot of "baggage" like her gender (which we evil, conservative Republicans hate!), her husband (no comment), everything she represents (almost everything) from the Bill Clinton era. And of course she is smart, you know!
So as this Mr. Morford goes on, he cites the areas us Republicans can not get on St. Barack. Such as past drug use. Why bother? Bill Clinton lowered that bar in an unconvincing manner. Or the lack of military experience. Mr. Morford seems to get back to the evil leaders, President Bush and Vice-President Cheney because of their limited or non-military service. And what about the major policy errors? St. Barack has none! Somehow, this Mr. Morford character does not get that the policy, or lack thereof, is the serious issue St. Barack faces.
Somehow, Mr. Morford thinks that the Republicans are just going to get to St. Barack because of his race.
Most amazing is that I think that this is how most people in San Francisco think about much of the rest of the United States.
I think Mr. Morford needs to get out of the 45-square mile area of insanity and see the very people that he seems to have more contempt for than anyone may possibly have against St. Barack.
When one travels this amazing land, one sees that most people can care less that anyone running for president maybe a woman and or a bi-racial candidate. Most Americans care about what these people would do on real issues such as the increasing role of government in our lives. About the crushing burden of taxation at multiple levels like a cheap Ponzi scheme. About the coarsening of our culture and a culture that seems to celebrate death and not life. Most important, how the next president will prosecute the War Against Islamofacsist Terror.
I know none of this is important to Mr. Morford. What is important to he and his kind is to paint anyone who opposes St. Barack and his quest for the Holy Grail of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as some knuckle-dragging know-nothing.
What Mr. Morford has done instead is exposed himself and the St. Barack defenders for the shallowness that they represent. For beyond change and hope are real issues. And that is where we will rightfully and vigorously contrast St. Barack with Sen. "F--- You" McCain.

Sen. McCain's New York Times Friends Are At It Again!

Ah, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain's friends at The New York Times have found a possible wrinkle in his bid for the presidency.
That he is possibly not a "natural born" United States citizen.
In 1936, the year Sen. "F--- You" McCain was born, the Panama Canal Zone was a territory of the United States.
The Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/28/us/politics/28mccain.html? has an extensive article in today's editions about the possibility of the erstwhile Arizona senator not being born, assumed, in one of the 48 American states at the time.
This non-issue is based on Article II, section I of the constitution and reads as follows:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall and Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. http://heritage.org.
Now, I have expressed extensively my many problems with Sen. "F--- You" McCain, but the constitution is clear and Sen. "F--- You" McCain meets all of the requirements.
The so-called article does not and could not merit the space The Times gave it.
All it is showing is that maybe every week from here on to election day in November, The Times may continue to assault Sen. "F--- You" McCain with pointless "stories" until maybe, just maybe, one sticks.
All it does is give the Democrats a talking point in changing the requirement so essentially anyone could run for president.
After all, we have a governor here in California from Austria and Michigan has a governor from Canada. Why should they be denied the right to run for the highest office in the land? The constitution says that they can not. Period.
John McCain was born in what was then United States territory, given away by former President Jimmy Carter, and his parents were American citizens and John McCain was born in a naval hospital. I do not think you can get any more American than that!
I think that The New York Times needs to find other, factual and real, stories about Sen. John "F--- You" McCain.
Like why Sen. "F--- You" McCain apologized for his warm-up act, radio talker Bill Cunningham, referring to Sen. Barack Obama by his full name. Now, that is a REAL story!

William F. Buckley 1925-2008

Today is a sad day in the history of the modern conservative movement as the conservative patriarch, William F. Buckley, went to meet the lord today in the private study in his home in Connecticut.
Who ever has been or has become a conservative got there by reading the writings of Mr. Buckley starting with his tome, "God And Man At Yale", the journal of conservative thought, National Review and watching the debates on "Firing Line" which was on PBS of all networks!
No doubt that Mr. Buckley was not only a friend of Ronald Reagan but one of his mentors. And both men did more than most of us ever could hope to do to make modern conservatism the mainstream of politics in the United States.
I for one am glad that Mr. Buckley's writings, telelvision appearances and National Review live on, a living teaching tool for those who are confused by today's events.
Thank God for William F. Buckley and all that he accomplished in His name here on Earth.

Have You Heard Of Obamacans?!

There is a new buzz term in this presidential campaign season.
That is being an Obamacan-a Republican for the Democrat senator Barack Obama.
According to the Los Angeles Times http://latimes.com, there are quite a few all over the United States, especially in Ohio.
The Times really focuses in on Josh Pedaline. The Times cites that Mr. Pedaline is a lifelong Republican, who reveres Ronald Reagan and voted twice for the current President Bush. Oh, and he is all of 28 years old. Mr. Pedaline says that he is sick and tired of all the partisanship. That his big issue is Social Security. Mr. Pedaline wants a candidate who is not an ideologue, of course he means a conservative ideologue, and one who is willing to compromise and seek solutions.
That is the appeal to Susan Eisenhower, the granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Also why Colin Powell may give his support. And that paragon of Republican virtue, former Senator Lincoln Chafee from Rhode Island. He is so full of guts that once he was voted out of office, Mr. Chafee became an independent.
There is a trend of all these Obamacans. These are not people who are really very comfortable being Republicans in the first place.
In the case of Mr. Pedaline, if he so reveres Ronald Reagan and voted for President Bush twice, does he in fact blame the two for the "partisanship" in Washington? If he is for Sen. Obama, one has to say yes. And that means that he does not really understand the party he claims to have been a member of to begin with.
And Ms. Eisenhower? Who even knows of her in Republican circles? I mean, I did not realize of her import to Republicans until this article. I would say that it is her name and the assumption that she is a tried and true Republican.
Colin Powell is more of an Arnold Schwarzenegger Republican. No ideology. No serious policy. But, he is a black and Republican. His support would be one that could be taken seriously. But, more on the margins and in solidifying Sen. Obama's increasing support in the black community.
Then there is Lincoln Chafee. Mr. Chafee was not exactly in the conservative Republican mainstream. His American Conservative Union lifetime rating was a 34%. Why Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska has a 55% rating, much higher than Mr. Chafee. He is not what one would call a Republican of consequence. And, his being an independent means it is not support of an actual Republican. Thus, it is not a real "Republican" endorsement of support.
There is no question that some Republicans are taking a look at Sen. Obama. Some are even conservative Republicans who may not like the fact that Sen. John "F--- You" McCain is the nominee presumptive.
For that matter, there are Democrats who support Sen. "F--- You" McCain, thought they not be as many at this point.
But, when at this point in the campaign season major DDBMSM sources are trying to make it like there will be these mass defections of Republicans to the most liberal senator in the United States http://nationaljournal.com is spin if I ever read it.
Even though there are many conservatives, myself included, who have reservations about Sen. "F--- You" McCain, when up against Sen. Obama and his vapid, cult of personality campaign will be laid out by a man who has wanted to be president longer than Sen. Obama has been alive. And that will rally most of us conservatives and others in the Republican coalition to Sen. "F--- You" McCain.
For most Republicans, the overwhelming majority of Republicans do not want to see an Obama or Hillary Clinton administration, who will lose the War Against Islamofacsist Terror. Who will possibly appoint as many as three new supreme court justices. Who will certainly pursue with abandon socialized medicine. I think that is more of a frightening thought than a moderately conservative McCain administration.
Even if there are some "lifelong" Republicans backing Sen. Barack Obama today.

St. Barack And Pope Michelle

I know that part of this is old news, but I am flabbergasted at the near rock star adulation for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) and his wife, Michelle Obama. I mean, women are prostrating to the point of fainting at St. Barack rallies. It seems like the man of change and hope is more a preacher than candidate for president of the United States. Unlike a preacher, St. Barack stands at a podium and says much about nothing.
On the other hand, every prophet has a secondary leader, and that is where Michelle Obama, or Pope Michelle comes in.
At a recent rally at UCLA, Pope Michelle implored the crowd this:
Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.
On so many levels, this really sounds more like a Nazi or Communist or Fascist talking point than anything else. But, peel back and realize that because St. Barack is now a messianic figure for the Democrat party, this really is a sermon, sort of a Sermon On The Mount, St. Barack style.
Let's take it line by line.
Barack Obama will require you to work.
I am not quite sure what to make of that line. Is he going to create one of those make-work government projects to hire thousands of, union members of course, workers? Or is he going to make all American companies have to meet certain hiring quotas set by the government? Or does he mean that YOU will work for him, the new prophet? Hmm.
He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism.
Sorry Pope Michelle but I thrive on being cynical. I mean, cynicism is a way of getting to common sense. It is also healthy. Not being cynical means that you become a sheeple, part of a flock of followers following something that you do not quite know what it is about. And, maybe Pope Michelle wants it that way. It is a precept of a cult, and the followers of St. Barack are beginning to show signs that they are following a cult leader.
That you put down your divisions.
Oh dear, she is preaching unity! Have no thoughts of your own! I, for one, like divisions. It makes clear that there is a choice in everything. And, many times that is between two competing parties and ideas on getting, usually, to the same place. There are many places in the world that practice unity. Some include Red China, North Korea, Cuba in the secular realm. For the religious, all Islamic, there is Saudi Arabia, Iran and there was those lovable fellows that ruled Afghanistan, the Taliban. I'm sorry but I am your first heretic in the Church of St. Barack for I just will not put down my divisiveness!
That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones.
What if I like being isolated, not being bothered by anyone? For is that not an All-American right?! And comfort zones? Well, maybe I can go one out of two. I can move out of my comfort zone, but do not ask me to change my allegiances to my sports teams dagnabit!
That you push yourselves to be better.
All kidding aside, this is actually the best and most correct line of this diatribe. I think that a political leader is not able to solve all problems, and should not. That is where the people, you and I come in. We could all be a little better and sometimes, the right leader can set an example of being better. But, not messianic.
And that you engage.
Engage in what, pray tel? Does that mean when the government is not following the will of the people that the people have the right of redress? I mean, when the so-called "comprehensive immigration reform" bill-scam came up for a vote, was it not the people getting engaged writing, calling and e-mailing their senators to vote against it? Is that being engaged enough? I think that Pope Michelle means something different.
Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.
Now, that is the creepiest line of the whole diatribe. Who gives St. Barack the power to change your life? Is it up to the president of the United States to get you involved, informed? NO! HELL NO! It is up to you and I to be involved and informed.
But, what this all raises up is that fact that St. Barack and his Pope, Michelle, are nothing but ol' fashioned left-wingers. These two are not liberal. They are socialists. This kind of talk is the kind of talk that St. Barack must have used when he was a "community organizer". And what about Pope Michelle? She believes in all that she said. And that is frightening.
Somehow, I worry more about the travelling revival known as St. Barack Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama more than whether or not Sen. John "F--- You" McCain maybe had an "inappropriate" relationship with a lobbyist many a moon ago.

George H. W. Bush Is A Decent Patriot, But Not Exactly A Conservative

Today, former President George H. W. Bush formally endorsed presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain. And, that is not a bad thing to get more people to rally around the presumptive nominee. After all, Sen. "F--- You" McCain will need to get these endorsements out of the way so that he can do two things. Fundraise like a crazy man and reach out to the conservative base of the Republican party.
But, Mr. Bush said a curious thing that adds to the "bash Reagan to make McCain look good" narrative of this part of the campaign.
Mr. Bush said that former President Ronald Reagan faced attacks from some to the right of him. Mr. Bush cited a magazine Conservative Digest and it publisher, Richard Vigurie http://reuters.com/.
For the record, Conservative Digest has not been around for many years and Mr. Vigurie is a very outlier figure of the conservative movement.
But, it is another attempt to marginalize the Great Man by saying that people on the fringe right, which Mr. Vigurie represented, were going after the Great Man the same way that reasonable, mainstream conservatives are trying to point out some uncomfortable truths about Sen. "F--- You" McCain.
It should be noted that in 1982, a very right wing candidate for congress tried to take on the Great Man during a meeting of Republican candidates in the White House. An exasperated Mr. Reagan tried to reason with the candidate, but he would not listen. Mr. Reagan ended up having to tell this fringe Republican to shut up. In those words. As it turned out, the candidate was a card-carrying member of the John Birch Society. Not exactly Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham or Rush Limbaugh.
And also, Mr. Bush would not be considered a great heir to the Great Man's legacy.
As we all know, many conservatives had even more doubt about Mr. Bush. Eventually, at the Republican convention, Mr. Bush said the fateful words that would haunt his presidency, "Read my lips. No new taxes." And in 1990, those words went right out the window as he did raise taxes and thereby ensured his defeat at the hands of Ross Perot and the Great Whoremonger, Democrat William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.
So, Mr. Bush would have been well enough to not comment about the rightful and mainstream criticizms of Sen. "F--- You" McCain.
Both of Mr. Bush's son's, former Florida governor Jeb Bush and the current President George W. Bush have proven more conservative records than the old man.
And, I will just end by writing that Mr. Bush is a decent man, always wanting to do the right thing and a great American patriot and a true war hero as a fighter pilot in World War II.
But, a conservative in the order of the Great Man, Ronald Reagan, Mr. Bush is not.

Obama The Hopeful Sleezy Candidate

I know this will not be popular, you know, to write against the hope that is St. Barack Obama. After all, his hope is so all-encompassing that women are prone to faint at his campaign, revival, rallies. But, I will write against hope.
St. Barack likes to pontificate in genralities, but Guy Benson http://townhall.com lays out the goods on the meteoric rise of this "community organizer" from the mean streets of Chicago.
How do you think that St. Barack ended up in the Illinois state senate?
According to Mr. Benson, it is because he double crossed a sitting state senator, Alice Palmer, who ran for the congressional seat of pervert Democrat Mel Reynolds in 1995 because, unlike the Great Whoremonger, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, Mr. Reynolds had the decency to resign. For the record, why Mr. Reynolds is a pervert is because it is accused that he had sexual relations with an underage girl. How quaint. Back to Alice Palmer. Ms. Palmer lost the primary and wanted to run for reelction. But, St. Barack, being the hand-picked successor did not get the memo that if Ms. Palmer lost, she would want to run for the current job. St. Barack basically did it the old fashioned way. With a team of lawyers to keep Ms. Palmer and anyone else off the ballot, thus ensuring St. Barack the first victory.
In 2004, St. Barack spoke at the Democrat national convention, and like almost anything else, said little and somehow galvanized the audience and liberal, left America. But, St. Barack also was running for the United States senate seat of retiring Sen. Peter Fitzgerald. In the Democrat primary, he was far behind the establishment candidate, millionaire Blair Hull. But, lo and behold, a scandal broke out for Mr. Hull. Somehow, his sealed divorce papers became unsealed and there was good reason they were sealed. It shoed that Mr. Hull was alleged to have physically and verbally abused his ex-wife. Well, Mr. Hull went down with the ship and St. Barack was nominated as the Democrat nominee.
As luck would have it for St. Barack, the Republican nominee was Jack Ryan, also a millionaire businessman. But, Mr. Ryan was also divorced and, as luck would have it, his divorce records were also sealed. The Chicago Tribune, patrons of St. Barack pressured a court to unseal the divorce records that both Mr. Ryan and ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan (of late the show Shark on CBS) did not want released. And, with good reason. It appears that among some of Mr. Ryan's purient tastes included forcing the former Mrs. Ryan to visit sex clubs. And, once again St. Barack came out on top because the Illinois Republican party makes the Massachusetts GOP look like Utah. There is none to speak of. The Illinois GOP was desperate and asked the ol' stemwinder himself, Alan Keyes, to fill in. And, Mr. Keyes got a whopping 23% against a relative neophyte.
Why is any of this important?
Because it shows that St. Barack is no different from Sen. Hillary in raw ambition. It shows that St. Barack stands back and lets his boosters do the dirty work. And, it maybe a warning for presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain.
It is thought that Sen. "F--- You" McCain had a midlife crisis when he divorced his first wife and took up with current wife, Cindy McCain. I for one do not know any of the details and whether or not those divorce records are sealed. But, other than the fact the current Mrs. McCain is about 25 year younger than Sen. "F--- You" McCain, there is nothing to indicate that the senator did anything than divorce wife number one for the hot, young wife number two.
But, if there is anything, and St. Barack is the Democrat nominee, look for his minions to find anything, and I mean anything, on Sen. "F--- You" McCain, especially his divorce records.
How ironic that while Sen. "F--- You" McCain saves his venom for fellow conservative, Republicans, he may end up wishing a certain St. Barack a "F--- You"!

What Is Conservatism?

This is going to be a long posting folks, so sit back, read and enjoy.
This presidential election year has brought into focus something that one would think was explained and practiced not too long ago.
That is conservatism.
But, we have found out that there is a three-legged stool and, I will add a forth.
There are social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, foreign policy and defense conservatives and here is the forth, judicial conservatives.
But, here is the thing. I am not a boxed-conservative. I am a conservative period.
So, what is it being a conservative?
It is a total world view. Not just on a certain set of issues. It is how I live my life. It is how I look at any multitude of issues. It is, quite simply, life experience.
But, while Mitt Romney ran for the Republican nomination for president he said he was a "full spectrum" conservative. And the Rev. Mike Huckabee is a social conservative. Sen. John "F--- You" McCain says he is a conservative, but does not know much about economics and doesn't do "social issues."
So, why were many people looking for the next Ronald Reagan, the Godfather of modern conservativsm?
Because the Great Man was a conservative period.
He easily explained it on many levels because he believed it and lived it. He was able to cobble together the so-called three legs of the modern Republican stool. In the Great Man's view, there were not just fiscal conservatives, or social conservatives, or foreign policy/defense conservatives and yes, judicial conservatives. For the Great Man, it was all inclusive.
Since Mr. Reagan passed from the political scene, there have been some hick-ups of inclusive conservatives. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich came close but was self-destructive and was not able to close the deal as speaker, so to speak. Many thought that President Bush could be the man. But, he chose to refer to himself as a "compassionate conservative" and that had a bad meaning. It meant that some conservatives were mean-spirited and he would be the white horse that would make conservatism a better sell. And how can we forget that President Bush 41 said that under his leadership, the United States would be a "kinder, gentler nation."
Now, we who are in the Republican party are faced with another leader who has a hard time with the conservative thing. That is Sen. John "F--- You" McCain.
We conservatives have seemingly broken apart. The social conservatives had their guy in the Rev. Mike and are ready to go all the way with him. And, they seem to be "flexible" on the rest of conservatism.
The fiscal conservatives had their guy in Mitt Romney, but he just could not close the deal and by the time he was able to freely go for the conservative message, it was the speech before CPAC and it was his swan song. And, they too seem to be flexible on the other aspects of conservatism.
The foreign/defense conservatives have their guy in Sen. John "F--- You" McCain. They feel he will beat back the Islamofacsists. They look at the War Against Islamofacsist Terror as the over riding issue to the point of throwing the social and fiscal conservatives under the bus.
The question is why?
The message of conservatism is that it is not a sectional, ghettoization of groups. But, without someone to clearly articulate and make all feel a part of, each so-called sub-group feels marginalized and thus looks for leaders of their sub-group.
When one has a conservative view of the world, there is an understanding of what that means. Thus, I do not worry about social conservatives because I am one. I am with them because they are right in the defense of the unborn, maintaining marriage between one man and one woman, that children are in the best growth environment with a mom and dad, and that the culture is totally debased.
I do not worry about the fiscal conservative because I am one. I believe that all forms of government should live within it means and that it should not interfere with the free market. Government works best from the bottom up, not the other way around. Taxes should never be used to pit groups against groups but to provide for basic services.
I do not worry about the foreign and defense conservatives because I am one. I believe that we should always follow our foreign policy on the interests of the United States, not international groups and or organizations. In other words, the United States may have to fight the War Against Islamofacsist Terror on our own, not depending on so-called allies and alliances. And we should support our allies and defeat out enemies. Our armed forces should always be the strongest and best equipted at all times. When there is a "peace dividend" it should never be squandered at the expense of our armed forces being the best in the world.
And, I do not worry about judicial conservatives. They are the ones that realize there is a tyranny of unelected judges that make law up as they go along, not respecting the disticntly American separation of powers. And of lawyers clogging our judicial system at all levels to the detriment of the citizenry as a whole. Judicial conservatives know all too well that we need judges that adjudicate, not legislate. We will only get the kind of judges that respect law and order if we all come to understand the importance of it.
In a few short paragraphs, I think I have tried to explain conservatism.
A conservative does not have to emphasize one over the other because the building blocks of conservatism is all inclusive.
What conservatism needs is some people to articulate what that is with the ease of a Ronald Reagan. We need someone who believes in the whole package, not just what suits their fancy. I know that leadership is out there and we have to encourage them to speak out and loudly.

McCain Still Has Work To Do

I think that Sen. John "F--- You" McCain needs to get busy mending more fences with conservatives because there are signs he needs to get rid of some advisors who should have never been onboard in the first place.
There is the infamous Juan Hernandez, an open borders advocate who has dual citizenship and served as an advisor to former Mexican president, Vicente Fox.
Senor Hernandez one has to assume did a lousy job giving Senor Fox advice. Appearantly, his advice was to allow and or dump as many fellow Mexicans on the United States' doorstep as possible. Senor Hernandez is one of those who believes that where Mexicans are, that is Mexico.
If Sen. "F--- You" McCain gets that the American people want to secure the borders, he needs to disavow Senor Hernandez and dismiss his support.
The next who should be dumped is adman Mark McKinnon.
His offense?
He would not feel comfortable in going after Sen. Barack Obama, aka St. Barack, in a head-to-head matchup.
The question is, why? It is only OK for you to go after Republicans? Or what about Sen. John F. Kerry? That was OK?
It is such a weak-kneed kind of advisor that would be fearful against going mano-a-mano against the first black candidate for the highest office in the land that makes people wonder about Sen. "F--- You" McCain and his own lack of judgement in the first place.
If Sen. "F--- You" McCain is serious about allaying the fears of conservatives, he needs to dismiss the support of Senor Hernandez and save Mr. McKinnon the trouble and fire him now.
Conservatives do not need to grovel at Sen. "F--- You" McCain in asking him to rid his campaign of these charlatans. Their comments and actionsspeak for themselves.
Sen. "F--- You" McCain does not need this trouble now. As he is finally getting needed support from the conservative base, he needs to know that he will not be able to defeat either Sens. Clinton or Obama without their money and volunteer work. Moderates do not like to get dirty doing the nuts and bolts work of getting voters to the polls and ginned up in the first place.
Time to be the "Straight Canning Express" and get rid of Senor Hernandez and Mr. McKinnon.

Romney Shows How To Graciously Support McCain

Today it is official as Mitt Romney finally threw his support, and delagates, to Sen. John McCain and effectivly gave the senator the Republican presidential nomination.
The greatest line from Mr. Romney was this:
With their rhetoric, our Democratic opponents are very skilled at striking heroic poses. But with our Republican candidate we're going to offer America the real thing.
Of course a lot of the talking heads, so called pundits and the like are saying that there was some tense moments and that they were not buddy-buddy. And, of course Sen. McCain will not ask Mr. Romney to be his vice-president.
Firstly, what were they supposed to do, hold each other in an embrace and give each other a kiss? Look, Mr. Romney got beat and already withdrew. It was a matter of time before he would endorse Sen. McCain. And, release his delagates. I think that was enough and his praise of Sen. McCain was equalled with praise from Sen. McCain. I do not need to read body language and all that psychobabble. These two would make a great ticket.
I also think that Sen. McCain was correct in realizing that Mr. Romney made him a better candidate, being aggressive with Mr. Romney, of course a little too much, but nonetheless, a better candidate. The fact is that Mr. Romney was the only Republican to take on Sen. McCain by name and on issues and the senator had to defend them. That is what candidates are suppose to do.
The reality is that Mr. Romney knew when to fold 'em and did it was class and grace. And did the same in fully endorsing Sen. McCain.
Too bad the Rev. Mike has not got the memo yet.

Do "Conservatives" Even Get Talk Radio?

I am in a great deal of amusement these days as some self-appointed "conservatives" and or Republicans are making moronic statements about certain conservative talk radio hosts because they have the nerve, the nerve I tell you, to oppose and raise serious questions about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John "F--- You" McCain.

Some are even in conservative talk radio itself.

But my question is do these people even get conservative talk radio?

I mean, do they think that conservative talk radio hosts get their talking points from the Republican National Committee? Or that they cabal at the beginning of the day to talk about the issues of the day? Or that every host talks about the same thing?
In order, no, no and definatly no.

Each host has a different perspective on the news, current events, cultural trends and life in general.

Yes, there has been some harsh comments about Sen. "F--- You" McCain by some hosts, but if one is willing to look at the points that some hosts make, they have a strong, valid points.

My complaint is that too many decided at the last minute to realize that former candidate Mitt Romney was a solid conservative and say they would vote for him. Since it was too late, well you know the rest of the story.

But, why all of the sudden should these hosts just clam up because Sen. "F--- You" McCain is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee?
Because some of these people must believe that conservative talk radio needs to be in bed with Sen. "F--- You" McCain. Many believe that there is only one issue and that is the War Against Islamofacsist Terror. They are willing to overlook some serious conservative and Republican heresies. And that is tragic.

When we sell our souls as conservatives, we get what we deserve. Thus, we were led to believe that George W. Bush was a solid conservative. And, instinctivly he is. But, because he is not a thinker of conservative ideology, he all to willing to cut deals. So, to buy off senior citizens, he bought into the prescription drug benefit. Same with No Child Left Behind. What President Bush should have been advocating was abolishing the Education department and restoring education issues back to the states. But, he cut a deal with Sen. Teddy Kennedy. Same on spending by Republican congresses. He should have been advocating cuts, but instead bought into the fact that Republicans had congressional control, they have to do what it takes to keep control. Then came September 11, 2001. The terror attacks changed everything. Even critizism of President Bush by same hosts accused of disloyalty now were muted because of the war.

So, once again many are putting aside conservative principles and supporting a one time conservative in Sen. John "F--- You" McCain.

And some people, many in conservative talk radio, do not want to make the same mistake twice.

So, the constant critisism of Rush Limbaugh http://rushlimbaugh.com/, Laura Ingraham http://lauraingraham.com/, Sean Hannity http://hannity.com/ and to a lesser extent Hugh Hewitt http://hughhewitt.com/ and Dennis Prager http://pragerradio.com/ is nessecary to insure that Sen. "F--- You" McCain remembers that he was once a conservative and should return to those roots if he wants to have half a chance at victory in November.

That is where I fall in.

I want Sen. "F--- You" McCain to use the venom he usually shares with fellow Republicans against the Democrats. I want Sen. "F--- You" McCain to give a big middle-finger to those that want to do us harm and hit them as hard as possible.

If conservative talk radio does not hold up Sen. "F--- You" McCain to the conservative principles that he expressed in his speech last week at CPAC, then no one will.

Talk radio is not a monolith nor on the RNC payroll. There are even hosts who support Sen. "F--- You" McCain such as Michael Medved http://michaelmedved.com/ and Bill Bennett http://bennettmornings.com/.

And that is what is the beauty of conservative talk radio. These are thinking people, not sychophants. And that is the kind of oversight that these hosts provide for a public that is constantly hungering for the kind of political leadership that a man named Ronald Reagan once provided.

A Much Needed Break

I am on a quick getaway, so no real blogging until Wednesday. I need it after the events of las week in politics!

The Huckster The New Conservative Republican Protest Candidate

It appears that the former governor of Arkansas, the Rev. Mike Huckabee is now the conservative Republican's protest candidate in the remaining Republican primaries and caucuses.
And that shows two things.
Firstly, conservative Republicans, any Republicans for that matter, who bother to vote in the upcoming primaries and caucuses are desperate to send a message to Sen. John "F--- You" McCain. Even if that means pulling the lever for the Rev. Mike.
Secondly, Sen. "F--- You" McCain has a lllooonnnggg way to go to unify the Republican party.
Although I have spent months decrying the potential of a McCain nomination, it is more of less upon us Republicans. And, I do not like it. I more do not like a showboat like the Rev. Mike becoming a caricuture of himself and running himself, thankfully, out of the vice-presidential sweepstakes.
What the Rev. Mike has become is the one candidate who can let conservatives vent.
But, it also means that Sen. "F--- You" McCain has to actually campaign and raise money to compete in primaries. That time is needed for Sen. "F--- You" McCain reach out, personally, and mend fences with those conservative Republicans that hate the thought of supporting and voting for him. I do not speak for myself, I will vote for Sen. "F--- You" McCain. I can not see the Clintons and or St. Barack becoming president and leading the United States down the road of socialism.
We conservatives had our chance to rally around one candidate, which I believe should have been Mitt Romney, but we did not. To have someone stay in with no chance to stop the "Straight Talk Express" is not good for conservatism and or the Republican party.
If Sen. "F--- You" McCain is the presumptive nominee, then we need to force our place at the table and hold him accountable to the efforts that began this past Thursday in his speech at CPAC. Otherwise, the Rev. Mike's strategy of going all the way will look not too bad. And that is not good since the Rev. Mike is not all that much of a conservative. And that makes the protest voting all the more baffling.
There is a time and a place for the protest vote.
I confess that I voted for Pat Buchanan in the 1992 California Republican primary. But, that was long after it was clear that then Preisdent George H. W. Bush was the Republican nominee for reelection. And, that may have weakend President H. W. Bush's relection. Now, that we can look back, seeing the end result of the Bill Clinton years, did that do any good? No.
So, I ask the Rev. Mike Huckabee to say that he has made his point and that he is suspending his candidacy and taking the high road so that Sen. "F--- You" McCain can continue to come to conservative Republicans to make amends and seek support. All this does is delay the inevitable and make conservatives look like they do not care. I do. As much as I think that Sen. "F--- You" McCain is going to give conservatives heartburn and a lot more, I would rather have the Sen. give the terrorists the "F--- You". I would rather have the Sen. give the Democrats the "F--- You". I want the Sen. to give an "F--- You" to those that want to lead the United States down the road to socialism.
John McCain can not do that if a not so well known former governor from Arkansas, the Rev. Mike Huckabee keeps flying around like tha gnat that one can not swat down.

Thoughts On Why Mitt Is Out

Now that I have had, oh about 48 hours for it to sink in, I can offer my thoughts on why Mitt Romney is out of the Republican presidential hunt.
I must write this first.
He showed me why I became a supporter early on. The speech at CPAC was a stemwinder and the reasons that he became a candidate in the first place. I think that in that speech, which should have been made a lot sooner, he summed up why he is a legitimate conservative and that there are many issues that will be the focus of the presidential campaign. But, in talking about the War Against Islamofacsist Terror, he summed up the reason to leave now and eventually support Sen. John "F--- You" McCain.
Now, on to why he is not where Sen. "F--- You" McCain is today.
If it could be all summed up in one word, it would be Massachusetts.
Regretably, for many Republicans, nothing good comes out of Massachusetts. And, most of the time that would be correct. After all, Sen. John F. Kerry was the Democrat nominee for president in 2004 and look at how well that turned out. In 1980, Democrats almost made the mistake of throwing then President Jimmy Carter over the bridge with the winner of the 1969 Massachusetts Safe Driver Of The Year, Sen. Edward "Teddy" Kennedy, from ta da da da! Massachusetts. And, maybe more than the fact Mr. Romney is a Mormon, he was from Massachusetts, which might as well be a foreign nation to most Southerners. It is also true that most people from Massachusetts think that the South is still the Confederate States of America.
So, I think that they never got the real Romney record as governor and it was a conservative one. I think that many thought he legalized same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, not a state supreme court in which he had no nominations. Or that he was in favor of state funding of embriotic stem cell research. Mr. Romney vetoed that bill, but it was overidden. And while it is true that he did raise fees, which had not been raised in years, he did not raise taxes and did cut taxes. So, Mr. Romney did have a conservative record. Much of what seemed unconservative was when he ran against said Sen. Kennedy in 1994. For whatever reason, he thought that he would win trying to blur differences. It did not work and he lost in an otherwise Republican years as we all know.
Another reason is that a large enough minority just could not vote for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Mormons.
I still believe that it was a small minority. But, even in the rightviewfromtheleftcoast household, there was spirited discussions between Mrs. rightviewfromtheleftcoast and myself. In the end, I did persuade her that if Mr. Romney was the nominee, she would vote for him.
And some of the most strident opposition I encountered came from liberal, Democrats and Christians. Several people at my church and I had spirited disscussions. It was amazing to see how judgmental these liberals are in reality. And, these people would not even be partiicipants in the California Republican primary.
Bottom line is that it was there and can not be denied. And, it did not help that the Rev. Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas fuled the anti-Mormon sentiments in a now infamous interview with the New York Times Sunday Magazine.
I think the worst thing was that he was not able to communicate the same message in every place that Sen. "F--- You" McCain and the Rev. Mike were. It seemed to change depending on where he was campaigning in earnest. I think that is due to the fact this was the first time on the national stage and the grueling death march of a primary season. But, it is not an excuse, just an explanation. Mr. Romney needed to hammer home his stand on the War Against Islamofacsist Terror and how he would handle big government and the economy at home. Muddled messages meant that voters bought the analysis that he was nothing but a flip-flopper. And, he was not, but that was only noticable to political junkies like myself.
Because so many Republicans and conservatives bought the DDBMSM narrative on Mr. Romney, they realized that it was all false when it was too late. And, that in part is the fault of Mr. Romney and his advisers.
But, by graciously bowing out this past Thursday in a speech at the CPAC conference, I think that many really belived that he was a solid conservative, which I knew he was all along. And that will make others take a second look. And one maybe the Republican nominee for president, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain.

Grace And Humility In Politics And In One Day!

Today, I can write that I have been never prouder than to be a supporter of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's quest for the presidency. And, yes, I will vote for Sen. John "F--- You" McCain for president.
But, here are some thoughts.
Firstly, all of us need to take a real deep breath and realize something. This is the primary season and when we support a candidate and he or she does not get the prize, it is how they leave that shows what kind of person they are made of. And, when the appearant winner shows rightful humility, that shows what kind of person they are made of.
So, my guy is out. But, he went out with a message to conservatives. I am one of you and I am not going away. And we better believe it and not think this is the last we will see of Mitt Romney. He showed a lot of grace in his speech before CPAC today. He showed the passion that was missing in his campaign. The themes that he hit upon show that he is a Reagan Republican. And, he was not always but has seen the light and we should be welcoming him into the fold. It is what the Great Man would do.
Now, onto Sen. McCain.
He did show humility and I hope reconnection with conservative Republicans. After all, he did start out as one. In many ways he still is one. For me, although I have and still will refer to him as Sen. "F--- You" McCain, it is not personal. It is that I have not liked the fact that he has stuck it to us conservatives on many occasions and we take it. We expect that from liberal Democrats, not one of our own. But, maybe this is how he should have started his campaign for president last year when he did not attend the CPAC conference. I think that he has confused conservative support for President Bush with something against him personally because he did not get the nomination in 2000. No, it just was not his time.
But, it is important that while I will vote for Sen. "F--- You" McCain, it will be with a more critical eye.
We were desperate to gain the White House in 2000 and we rallied around then Gov. George W. Bush. Most of us knew that he was not a conservative in the Reagan mold but he was definatly more of a conservative than George H. W. Bush. And, eight years later we have paid a high price for not being more critical.
Hence, I have been around long enough to know that Sen. "F--- You" McCain has been a conservative. He needs to remember that. He needs to realize that a Reagan Republican would not knee-jerk accept globaloney warming. Also, a Reagan Republican would not sound like he cares more about international opinion and how we obtain information from terrorist suspects. Also, while I share the same concern about money and politics, his signature legislation was not a good one. And, his solution for illegal immigration looked more like what it was. Written by Democrats for Democrats.
Sometimes, even among friends, we will not always agree. It is how we treat each other that makes the difference.
And, that is why there has been hostility to Sen. "F--- You" McCain. When we offer criticism, it is not to be critical, it is to find a different way. And, I will hold the good senator that he must secure the borders before trailing down amnesty road.
Back to today.
I think that we may have begun to bring Sen. "F--- You" McCain back to the fold of conservatism. The kind of conservatism that Ronald Reagan fought for and believed in.
That is what Mitt Romney talked about today. And John McCain.
So, some advice for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Do not make this election just about the war in the Iraq theatre and the federal judiciary. They are good for the base, us conservatives, but when we are dealing with these left-wing Democrats, we have to do better.
Take them on on their issues. Talk about how screwed up our tax system is, and how you will reform it. Not just lowering taxes, but the kind of reform that the Great Man fought for.
Talk about how government interference is part of the problem with health care delivery. Mitt Romney can help you on that score.
If we just run on those two issues, it will not inspire the base.
I want to draw clear, distinct lines between the Democrats and Republicans. I like partisanship. If I wanted bipartisanship, I would move to Red China, Cuba or maybe North Korea.
Mitt Romney will be able to help John McCain and so too can the Rev. Mike Huckabee. We may not have one leader to articulate the Reagan conservative Republican message, but we can and need these three leaders.
And, there is my olive branch.

Conservatives Have Two Good Candidates

I wrote my thoughts on last night's results and I do not want to rehash except that I have given some serious thought to a Romney-Huckabee alliance and the more that I think about it, the better it sounds.
Read on and do not think that I have left the planet.
The Huckabee people should get one thing through their heads. Sen. "F--- You" McCain is not going to nominate the Rev. Mike as his running mate. Once he serves his purpose in dividing the conservative base, Sen. "F--- You" McCain will dispose him to the side.
So, the Romney people, myself included, need to realize that once the divide and conquer strategy of the McCain braintrust is complete, the good senator will stray back to the Sen. "F--- You" McCain of the immigration debate yore.
We need each other.
It is obvious that the Rev. Mike has a following and does have a way of connecting with people. I think that there is a genuiness to him that I do not see in Sen. "F--- You" McCain. If I hear "My friends" one more time I will scream. Back to the Rev. Mike. Also, he is the only candidate who has talked about a real tax reform plan. But, he needs to learn more about private-sector economics and that class envy is unbecoming of a conservative Republican. And, he needs to learn not to be afraid of Mormons.
Mr. Romney needs to learn more about evangelicals and how important to really reach out to people. He needs to let people know that his coming around on the critical social issues is something on his heart. Kind of like President Bush in dealing with his alchohol addiction.
They both need to surround themsleves with serious, bright conservative and not-so-conservative thinkers on national security and foreign affairs.
The reality is that between them, they have the majority of conservatives in the Republican party. They just do not realize it because they think that if they keep going, they will be able to have some influence riding into the convention is St. Paul, Minnesota.
Not going to happen.
The signs are very ominous for a blowout in November.
Sen. "F--- You" McCain can not really say that he is the choice of the majority of Republican voters and caucus attendees. The best state he has won so far is New Jersey with 55% of the vote. It is a state that if he is the nominee, he will never go back to in the general election campaign. Sen. "F--- You" McCain is averaging about 40% of the votes in primaries and caucuses.
Since vanity will prevail instead of logic, both the Rev. Mike and Mr. Romney will be just given a night, maybe, to speak at the convention. That is all.
But, together they can be the face of the Republican future.
Both are reliable conservatives. They have shown their passion and it is not to pass a liberal agenda. Yes, they have made mistakes, but they do not show contempt for the base and the larger Republican party.
As noted many times here, Ronald Reagan did compromise and yes, made mistakes as president. Even as governor of California. But, it was never from the liberal side of things. He would be rolling his eyes that anyone would believe, hook, line and sinker in globaloney warming. He would have never, ever signed "campaign finance reform" into law. He proved that congress was so wrong in not funding the Nicaruagan rebels that he made a deal to sell arms to Iran, a sworn enemy, because a greater enemy, communism, was making a beachead in Central America. Waterboarding? I think that if it saved American lives and prevented a terrorist attack, he would do the waterboarding himself.
Because the Great Man was a unique politician. A man of ideas and convictions. He never wavered on the big stuff.
We do not have that now. We could be stuck with Sen. John McCain Nixon as our nominee. He all but destroyed the Republican party and had the kind of temprement and dark side that I see in Sen. "F--- You" McCain.
But, there are two new national voices for conservatism, a proven and winning ideology, and they are Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.
They need to work together because the issues are larger than their personalities.

Some ThoughtsOn Super Duper Tuesday-And Not Good For The GOP

Here are some thoughts on the Super Duper Tuesday.
Firstly, despite all of our efforts on the Republican side Sen. John "F--- You" McCain will more than likely be the presidential nominee. But, neither Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee will be his vice-presidential nominee. And, this is the worst aspect of tonight for the Republicans is that this division will hand the White House to the Democrats and more than likely that Democrat is going to be Sen. Barack Obama.
On the Democrat side, this was a better night for Sen. Hillary Clinton than expected. But, Barack Obama won more states in general and he is going on to the Democrat nomination. And, he will win the White House.
Yes, I know that a lot can happen in the nine months until election day, but if one takes a look at all the states that have voted up to and including today, the momentum and enthusiasm is on the other side. We Republicans are so divided that the only possiblity for unity, dare I write this, is for Sen. "F--- You" McCain to go back to the Reagan Library, dig up the Great Man and take him high and low to convince conservatives he is one of us. When a party is this divided this late in the primary election season and it is a three-way division, it just gives time for the other side to unify and whip up the enthusiasm.
Here are some really bad trends for the Republicans.
Sen. "F--- You" McCain did not even carry his home state with 50% of the vote or more. But, Mr. Romney only got 51% in his home state of Massachusetts. The Rev. Mike carried his home state with 62% of the vote. That was the largest win for the the Rev. Mike in the South. However, he is proving to be a strong regional candidate in general. Mr. Romney does best in the mountain and Plains states, not large ones.
Since no one is getting out on the Republican side, the train wreck continues.
Good news for the Democrats.
Sen. Clinton got 57% of the vote in her "home" state of New York. But, Sen. Obama won his real home state, Illinois, with 70% of the vote.
As noted, the Dems are just more excited and ready to storm the White House.
I guess at the end of the day, the Republican party is so divided, and it is a three-way division. Sen. "F--- You" McCain used the Mayor Rudy strategy, win in the big states. The Rev. Mike won in the South, and West Virginia. Mr. Romney won everywhere else.
There is a way that possibly, and this is a long shot, that Mr. Romney and the Rev. Mike team up to stop Sen. "F--- You" McCain. Because even if one looks at it that Sen. "F--- You" McCain and the Rev. Mike are tag-teaming against Mr. Romney, since the Rev. Mike actually did win more states than expected thus denying a clear-cut win for Sen. "F--- You" McCain, he may have won himself out of the vice-presidency.
Here is another thought and this is really painful, the Republicans will lose in November. Depending on how bad and if Mr. Romney can mend fences and work with the party the next four years, he may have an inside shot at the nomination in 2012.
Also, this shows that while Vice-President Cheney has been a great vice-president, this showed that it really is important to pick a vice-president that can not only succeed you, but possibly win as George H. W. Bush did in 1988 and unify the party very quickly.
It is going to be a long nine months and a really long four years with President Obama.

Tomorrow, We Decide

In just a few hours, almost half of the United States will be voting in Democrat and Republican primaries in the largest phase of the campaign season. More than likely, nothing will be decided on either side.
A side note.
Even a probable strong showing by Mitt Romney will be downplayed by the DDBMSM. They are already trying to downplay the importance of California, the largest state in the nation and the top prize for both the Romney campaign and that of Democrat Barack Obama. But, we will know if the momentum is going Romney's way.
And, that is the point of this post.
DO NOT LET THE DINOSAUR, DRIVE-BY, MAINSTREAM MEDIA TELL YOU REPUBLICANS HOW TO VOTE!
Do not let the early results from New York, Connecticut or New Jersey get you down. They are strong McCain states that gained strength from the departure of Rudy Giuliani.
There are a lot more states in play.
There is Georgia, Missouri, Minnesota, and the big kahuna, California.
I urge all of you in any Super Duper Tuesday state to get out and vote. And take someone with you. It is time for those of us who believe in conservatism, the way that the Great Man, Ronald Wilson Reagan, showed us how it is done. Because of persuasion and not platitudes, a candidate has realized that the Great Man was right about a lot of things.
That man is Mitt Romney.
Yes, he could have run as a liberal Republican. But he is not. While he was moderate in many ways, as governor of Massachusetts, he governed as conservative as one could in one of the most Democrat-dominated states in the United States.
When confronted with two very critical social issues, the "legalization" of same-sex marriage and the push for state-funding of stem-cell research, Mr. Romney came out against both. He fought the Massachusetts legislature to let the voters decide the fate of same-sex "marriage" and although unsuccessful, he made it a top priority. He vetoed the funding of stem-cell research.
And, he came around to become pro-life. And that is not pandering because as noted here many times, it is tougher to come on our side than to cave in and become pro-abortion.
And, he did not raise taxes and balanced the budget four years in a row and left office with a "rainy day" fund.
Unlike another governor running, the Rev. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, he worked with that same Democrat-dominated Massachusetts legislature to have every citizen in Massachusetts access to health insurance. It may not be perfect, but he is the only candidate on either side to say that he did that.
It is very easy for a sitting senator to say he is pro-life and to vote on it, it is another to have to make a decision on it, with regards to stem-cell research.
It is very easy to tout the success of the surge in American troops in the Iraq theatre in the War Against Islamofacsist Terror. But, he was not in charge of any aspect of implementing the policy. And, it is easy to trash a former defense secretary as said sitting senator has done.
Mitt Romney is a man of action and he is a conservative, Republican. He will fight for traditional, American values as president. And he will lead to multiple reforms here at home. And, he will lead the fight against the Islamofacsists with every thing in the American arsenal. He will not accede to international concerns.
I urge all Republicans to NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE DDBMSM AND VOTE On Super Duper Tuesday for the next president of the United States, MITT ROMNEY.
