The Johnny-come-lately media conservative commentators (Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, etc.), as well as those of the has-been professional Republican class (Karl Rove, Ed Rollins, etc.) appear fearful that Republicans will ruin all chances of defeating Barack Obama in 2012 by nominating a true conservative.
For example, Hannity and O’Reilly have suggested that “establishment” Republicans are so fearful of a repeat of 1964… when Barry Goldwater suffered a defeat of landslide proportions at the hands of Lyndon Johnson… that they are willing to join liberals and Democrats in destroying any conservative who might achieve frontrunner status in the 2012 primaries. As evidence, they cite the relentless attacks on Newt Gingrich… from the left and from Republican moderates… since his rise to the top of the opinion polls.
They are either too young to remember political history, or they tend to remember political history… conveniently.
Since the Republican Party seems to posture itself as the voice of true conservative Americanism, I must say that I am both stymied and frustrated – - quite frankly even ashamed – - that it has hung back both in 2008 and now, either limply taking no stand behind a presidential candidate, or in the end, coming out in support of anyone other than Dr. Ron Paul.
While I admit that other candidates may say or do right concerning this issue or that – - and I’ve noticed how Republican Party devotees quickly latch onto such positives – - NO ONE but Congressman Ron Paul is consistently constitutional across the board, and Republicans simply have to know it. This is SO very plain and obvious that I contend that everybody of good heart and sound mind has to be able to see it. I furthermore submit that quite possibly when other presidential candidates do come out on the right (constitutional) side of an issue, it may simply be for reasons of vote-pandering.
It looks like Greece is about to completely default and be ejected from the European Union. If the majority of the pundits’ fears prove true, it will result in a domino-effect for Italy, Portugal and Spain, among a few others. As a result, the actual and psychological effect could very well cause the Stock Market to plummet, but unlike the ups & downs that normally occur, this time I see the Market falling — and keep falling. If you are invested in stocks in any way, be it a 401k or a regular stock portfolio, you could lose a lot of money that will not come back as it has in the past. The European economic disaster is going to drag the entire world economy down with it, including the U.S. and even China.
Ron Paul will probably win the 1/3/2012 Iowa Caucus, and the Republican Party is applying as much damage control as possible without fully tipping their hand — as if we all can’t see the exact cards they are holding.
For several months now, the Republican Party has enlisted their sympathetic media to gently but firmly suggest Ron Paul cannot be taken seriously as a presidential candidate for his stand on, among other things, foreign policy. What they don’t get is that most true conservative Americans totally agree with Ron Paul as soon as they find out where he stands, and more and more of them are just now reaching that epiphany.
I previously wrote that Newt Gingrich’s sudden and unexpected surge in the polls would fizzle-out and that Ron Paul would be the ultimate beneficiary of Herman Cain’s departure. Now a former top Michelle Bachman supporter and campaign manager has defected and thrown his own support to Ron Paul. Needless to say, Ron Paul’s star is just now reaching its zenith over all the other contenders, and for most true conservative voters, it is hindsight and regret for not giving Ron Paul the chance he (and we) deserved the last presidential election that seems to be driving his popularity.
Well, boys & girls, I believe I can tell you how the Occupy Movement will, “progress”, and we have relatively recent history to guide us. I would like to remind you that the SDS, the Students for a Democratic Society, eventually developed a splinter group calling themselves, “The Weathermen”, who sabotaged, bombed and murdered indiscriminately because the base SDS movement just wasn’t getting the results the splinter group of Weathermen thought should have been made.
CORRUPT POLITICIANS HAVE TRAMPLED OUR CONSTITUTION AND STOLEN OUR GOVERNMENT AND LIBERTY
Peter Schweizer, in his superb book “Throw Them All Out,” wrote:
“In short, the Permanent Political Class has clearly figured out how to extract wealth from the rest of us based solely on their position and proximity to power. If you have a seat at the table, you are in for the feast. If you don’t have a seat at the table, you are probably on the menu.”
For example, fabulously wealthy Senator John Kerry (D-MA) purchased shares of Citigroup (up to $550,000) and Bank of America ($350,000) right before the government bailed out the banking industry. Coincidence or is it insider trading, the legal graft Congress reserves for itself?
Clarice Feldman clearly and succinctly described how an entrenched oligarchy exploits the American people to increase their own power and wealth:
The Wall Street protesters, in their hatred of capitalism, overlook things including the fact that over the last 100 years capitalism has reduced poverty more and increased life expectancy more than in the
100,000 years prior.
Every semester I ask my students: “What would you rather be? King of England in 1263 or you?” Turns out, students would rather be themselves. They enjoy using their iPhone, indoor plumbing, central heating, refrigerators and electric lighting. All of these things are available to the average person in America today and none of them were available to the aristocracy when the West operated under the feudal system.
Pretendisdent, B. Hussein O., Sillary Clinton, Bawney Fwank, Nanny Pelosi and a number of other demlicans would have us believe that the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) demonstrations are similar to the Tea Party demonstrations. Anyone that believes that has been sleeping longer than Rip Van Winkle. While the Tea Party demonstrations were attended by a bunch of patriotic Americans that assembled peacefully and cleaned up after themselves, the OWS crowd is not patriotic and does not clean up after themselves.
This (OWS) is what I call a real fasunistic gathering. You have Nazis, (fascists), socialists, communists and America haters of all stripes. What do they want? Well, it depends on which one of the idiots you ask. I call the idiots because most of them are not smart enough to get out of their own way. Actually it is probably a slap in the face to idiots everywhere to be compared to these scumbags. They steal for each other and the stores in the neighborhoods where they have taken over the parks. They rape their own, even the disabled. They have sex in public, and other forms of public nudity. They crap on police cars and otherwise deface police cars. They urinate and defecate in public, they use and sell drugs at most of the locations and these are just the tip of the iceberg.
