On the Eighth day of the reign of Obama...
Millions heard the back to back soundbites of the President on the Rush Limbaugh show yesterday. 20 days ago the theme from the lips of the President Elect was that only government can fix the problem... which raised hair on the backs of the necks of centrists and moderates who pulled the lever for the first black elected President. Not to mention the abject fear being realized by more conservative minded Americans. "Only Government..." means more Government. "Only Government" means higher taxes, greater inefficiency, more wasted time and expense of each dollar which is contributed by someones hard work.
Nearly three weeks later, "Only Government..." becomes "only the private sector...". Wellsprings of nostalgia came forth as the Reaganesque words reached the microphone, finally "Hope" for the rest of us. News of recent conversations between the House Minority Leaders and the President revealed the Presidents called for his version of a "Listening Tour" was nothing more than a snatch and grab robbery. Obama snatched the good will of the Republicans by asking for their opinions and ideas for "solutions that work" as he grabbed the language they used to describe the benefit from their perspective. Masterful? No... Orwellian.
When pressed about tax cuts Obama told members of the House Minority, "we have a difference of opinion" and as he explained why he wouldn't be open to tax cuts the President replied,"we won." Fiction becomes Fact as President Obama comes to the podium later and talks about the expansion of government, the largest expenditures in history for a "stimulus" package a so called "Recovery Act" which even the Democrat held CBO says will only stimulate by 12 cents on the dollar and doesn't do even that right away. Fiction is now Fact when he speaks as if he were channeling Ronald Wilson Reagan.
So what is the normal person to do who hears the 7 second clip about the "Recovery Act" when it sounds like it could have been penned by Reagan? "Hey Barb! This guy sounds pretty good after all." Barb yells into the den, "Don't forget to take your Soma, Bill." It is after all the "Hope" and "Change", the dawning of a Brave New World
see you on Tuesday November 2nd, 2010.

Where Wheat Is Seperated From Chaff
Is your Senator or Congressman expressing your views in Washington DC? Try this... go to the American Conservative Union website where they rate the House and Senate members. The website is acuratings.org. There are other sites which craft the statistics to meet their own criteria but the ACU site, as I find it, should serve you well.
Here's where we begin... we have to know where we are.

Start Counting the Days
Okay... now I'm getting hot under the collar.
Everybody is out there already talking about 2012. So we want to muddle through for three years until it's time to elect a President? We choose to simply hand the keys to the kingdom to Obama/Pelosi/Reid ( OPR )? Really?
Remember 2010! All the seats in the House are up for re-election. A third of the Senate is up too. Remember that! Remember that each member of the House is looking at re-election... now! Now it's time we choose a new way. By the time the weakest and the laziest among them figures it out, they should be fighting for their lives in a primary race they can't hope to win... that's unless they get their minds Right. Convert or be Conquered.
Remember 1994. The truth is that the Republicans had great leadership and that's saying something since the elected rank and file had hardly a dozen sturdy spines between them. So we have a model there. Nationalize the election. We have to start now.
It's the Economy afterall! The Media will do what they can to prop up OPR and the Dems as best they can and look to blame anyone with an (R) in front of their name. The biggest target is likely to be Bush. 43 is the personification of Incompetence and the Evil in the modern era, in the 21st Century. But he'll be gone and like OBL will simply be the Boogyman in the shadows. The twists and turns to prop up OPR and the Dems should prove to be funny. I'll let others who consume their time with the daily reaction to the Media roll the tape. We can laugh as they do.
Remember that the Local and State elections show themselves to be a proving ground for the future. We have to win seats on every school board, city council, county board... every elected body in the nation. We have to figure out how to do so. In the meantime, we have to take back our schools from political correctness, liberal textbooks, and corrosive course study. We have to go to every meeting where these decisions take place in every voting district in the land.
The history of politics shows that Conservatives must make hay with the buyers remorse that is already setting in over the selection of the Democrat Party nominee. Barak Obama doesn't even have two years when you start to break down the logistics of the matter. First he has a transition to go through. Granted he seems well aware that he must be up and running come Jan 20, 2009 and seems as if he will be, also. And... to his credit, 43 seems to be making the transition as smooth as possible. In times as we face, an obstructionist program is ill advised. So kudos to the outgoing GWB.
No seats can be safe this time. You may love your guy. Let's face it... everybody loves their own guy. But what has he done for the cause of Conservatism and the upholding of the Constitution. Time to hold all their feet to the fire by running good solidly Conservative opposition.
Remember... the House and a third of the Senate will have to start running after the Summer 2009 recess and by the Fall recess for the "safe" seats. This leaves conservatives a little bit of time. Only a little. With Primaries starting in the Summer/Fall of 2009, we need better candidates! So folks, I hope you enjoyed the Holidays but now it's time to get to work. We're looking at a long row we have to hoe.
Remember... these are TWO year cycles.
two year cycles.... 2 yr cycles...
