A Look Into The Future

There are what I believe are nine factions in the conservative party.

Neoconservatives, National Greatness Conservatives, Traditional Values Conservatives, Evangelicals, Fiscal Conservatives, Libertarians, Buckleyites, RINOS, Paleoconservatives.

In my opinion the ones who are going to save the party are Traditional Values Conservatives, Fiscal Conservatives, Libertarians, Buckleyites and Paleoconservatives.

The Neocons and the Evangelicals have hurt the party so much in recent years and need to step aside and let the party return to true conservatism.

• Traditional Values Conservatives – Social morals and breakdown of familes are a big issue for them with education being the top issue. Sarah Palin would be a strong candidate for them.
• Fiscal Conservatives – Frugal business principles, tax and spend little, leave the marketplace free for enterprise. Mitt Romney in 2012 would be their choice.
• Libertarians – return the government to what the Founding Fathers envinsioned or smaller.
• Buckleyites – Main goal advance Goldwater and Reagan ideals.
• Paleoconservatives- High tariffs to protect American jobs and stop the influx of illegal immigrants who are slowly changing our culture.

Barney and Charm

There is not really a lot that I agree with Barney Franks…..ok I disagree with everything Barney Frank says, until today. Barney has seemed to step out of his far left fog he lives in and has actually said something that really made sense.

Barney Frank thinks that President-elect Obama “overestimates” his ability to unify people.

Frank, on MSNBC on Monday, said “But my one question is, I think he overestimates his ability to take people, particularly our colleagues on the right, and, sort of, charm them into being nice,” Frank said. “I know he talks about being post-partisan. But I’ve worked, frankly, with Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay, the current Republican leadership. The current Republican leadership in the House repudiated George Bush. I don’t know why Mr. Obama thinks he’s going to have them better than George Bush.

Its good to see that Barney understands that conservatives are not going to be fooled like so many progressives have been by this unprepared, inexperienced man who now is going to lead the greatest country in the world on his “charm.”

We had thought President Bush was going to bring conservatism back to the White House, we were wrong, but we already know that the next president has only one agenda, expanding government and making people more dependent on DC.

Do They Ever Shut-up?

I have stopped listening to talk radio, the stupidity that is coming from that source these days is just annoying. They are whining and crying about McCain being not conservative enough! Well you windbags, conservatives had the White House for 8 years and Congress for what 12 years and they DID NOTHING! Illegal immigration is still rampant. The debt is out of control, you did nothing to protect the unborn, we have not opened up ANWAR or anywhere else for that matter for oil, and your tax cuts have done CRAP for the economy.

So SHUT UP already, your way has not worked and you are today about as relevant in the conservative movement as Air America is.

Now I am going back to listening to Sam Spade, Mr District Attorney, Jack Benny and radio when it really did have relevance.

Super(?) Tuesday

Well the big day is over and it looks like America has a lot of dark days ahead. While Obama continues to hang in there Hillary is still pulling the big states with the delegates. There is a still an outside chance that Obama will recover but it will take a lot of work on his part.

John McCain was invigorated with the wins last night, actually now declaring himself the front runner. I am not as negative on John as some conservatives are coming across, however, I am highly disturbed by a recent addition to his campaign. Dr. Juan Hernandez. He’s a dual citizen of the US and Mexico, was a member of Vicente Fox’s government, and is as open borders as you can get. McCain says he understands that the American people want the borders protected, but yet he does something like that.

The fear America is feeling for 2009 and beyond is depressing. The choice of a progressive conservative like McCain or a socialist like Clinton as our only choices for leadership, speaks disaster for the American family and the middle class taxpayers for four years. Its a shame that American politics has been destroyed by the corrupt two party system of BIG MONEY and SPECIAL INTEREST.
