Rants

At last! I have a "voice" to express some of my concerns and frustrations with some of the goings on in the world. Several years ago I "discovered" talk radio and "awakened" politically. Not in a draft dodging, pot smoking way either. Just realizing that there are two sides out there, the Right (Conservatives) and the Wrong (Liberals). As you can PROBABLY guess, I am a dyed in the wool conservative. Reagan is my favorite President, followed closely by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. I like Presidents who understood that it is a blessing to be an American, that the Constitution says what it means, that the Founding Fathers meant for us to be able to define our own destiny and not have to rely on the good graces of a nanny state.

The problem with our political system today is that quite frankly it's broken. You have the Demicans and the Republocrats. Kind of a Coke and Pepsi thing going on. It should be Coke and Mountain Dew. Either way you are getting a cola. Sure the taste is a little different, but the brand is pretty much the only difference. Same with modern day politics. You have a political machine that is intent and working ultimately only to one thing, retaining power and obtaining more of the same, that aside from reelection they are working on one thing, raising money and making promises to donors. They are the new Nobility, who see themselves as "special" and above the common man even though they are "Servants of the people." There are elements of the Left who may (and lets face it, probably do) have a socialist/communist agenda, while the Right is standing there wringing their hands and trying to figure out how to be slightly less Liberal than the Liberals, and worrying about being chivalrous and not stepping on anybodies toes and offending anyone, and failing miserably. The problem is that the Left has an agenda and is actively working at promoting it, while the Right is too busy reacting to promote an agenda of their own. Lets face it, at times the boat needs to be rocked. And now more than ever, that rocking needs to occur. We need to let people know that the great ship AMERICA is sinking while heading out of control towards a rocky treachorous shoreline at breakneck speeds. We are floundering in a sea of political correctness, and because of that it is suddenly unpopular to be patriotic, to believe in God, to believe in personal responsibility and accountability, to hold people accountable for their choices and for declaring certain lifestyles to be unnatural.

What we need is a 3rd party. A Conservative party. THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY. The Republican party has sold its soul as far as I can tell. They have lost their conservative way. They have boughten into the false philosophy that centrism, appealing to the "independents" and the wishy washy democrats to win elections, while ignoring the party base. The Christian, family values loving, gun owning, flag waving, parade attending Americans who believe in being fiscally responsible, having a strong military to help promote the peace, immigration control, prison reform- as in making prisons hell on earth where people are deterred from committing crimes so they don't end up there. And if people do choose to commit heinous crimes, then they can expect to be executed promptly. We can slash our social services for people that either have no claim on them, or for those who have adopted them as a way of life, rather than as a temporary measure. They are not intended to be a couch, but a trampoline. We also need the institution of a national ID card for travel/ID/and possibly most importantly, voting/voter registration. It would eliminate voter fraud which is becoming particularly epidemic. Ask Washingtonians, where the Republican and Democrat candidates for Governor essentially tied, and when a recount was conducted, miraculously hundreds of ballots started turning up for the Democrat. (Funny isn't it how they ALWAYS turn up for the Democrat.... I'll let you draw your own conclusions.) Also in Minnesota where Al Franken is experiencing the same sort of Democrat "luck" as in the recount he is obtaining the vast majority of "found" ballots.

I needed to get that out. It was cathartic. Anyway, I am now OPEN for business. Check back as I talk more about our Country, politics, religion, guns, movies, the weather, etc.
