POLITICAL SUICIDE
Re: Philip Klein’s
Government Health Care Is a Double-Edged Sword:
Pelosi and the Democrats, as well as RINO Cao, have committed
political suicide. They think that including the Stupak amendment
provides cover.
They’ll see in 2010 and 2012 how delusional they were and are.
And how the tea parties and townhalls of the past few months, as
well as the 9-12 demonstration in D.C. and the others since, were
just prelude to the reclamation of America and its Constitution
from these liberals and leftists who masquerade as
Democrats.

IF IT AIN’T BROKE
Re: William Murchison’s Tex Mess:
Does Sen. Hutchinson feel Texas can’t do without her as Sen.
Specter of Pennsylvania feels that Pennsylvania just can’t do
without him? Judging from my position in KY, I have been most
impressed with Governor Perry, and surely the people of Texas
wouldn’t change this proven successful governor for an unknown
quality!

THE SECOND TIME AROUND
Re:
George Neumayr’s
One Step Forward, Two Races Back:
College students have a personal relationship with Obama? Well,
in 2012, most of these won’t be college students anymore; there
will be a new crop that he’ll have to dazzle and seduce to get
their votes. Maybe it won’t be as easy the second time
around.

Now let’s get rid of the LOUSE in the Whitehouse! and all his
scumbag admin too….

MISGUIDED AND NAIVE
Re: W. James Antle III.’s The
Angry Independent:
Republican wins in Virginia and New Jersey tell us one thing —
eulogies of the GOP’s demise were premature. It is also clear
that if Obama and Democrats are to be trounced in 2010 and 2012,
it will be by solid Republicans and not third party insurgents or
a rare and erratic liberal Republican. As conservatives should
have learned with Ross Perot’s anti-Republican, quixotic and
failed populist campaigns only Democrats benefit when the GOP
brand is diminished.
The Hoffman defeat while frustrating, but not unexpected, is a
wake-up-call to conservatives that it is time to drop the
invectives against the GOP.
That includes GOP moderates or what some asininely and
erroneously call RINOS. The silliness that Rockefeller or country
Republicans are a major influence in the Party is either
self-delusion or calculated mendaciousness. The Republican Party
is the center-right Party and Democrats of all hues are statist
or neo-fascist oligarchs like Barack Obama.
Conservative vitriol should be aimed at the real enemy/threat to
freedom and traditional American values — Democrat yellow dogs,
Obama’s blue lapdogs, New Dealers, Great Society radicals,
Obamanites and Obamacons. If we are to further our conservative
cause, it will be in and with the GOP. Those who champion a third
party are either closet Democrats or sadly misguided and naive.
All in all Tuesday was a good day for the Grand Old Party!

HISSING IN ANTICIPATION
Re: Lisa Fabrizio’s Scouting
Report:
The baseball analogies were fun to read.
Mitt Romney has a big problem which may make him unelectable: he
is a Mormon.
Eric Cantor has an even bigger problem. You and I don’t care
about Cantor’s Jewishness, or Romney’s Mormonism. But the
left-wing hate machine is boiling and hissing in anticipation.
I fear this is especially true regarding Eric Cantor.

ALIENATING THE ESTABLISHMENTS
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.’s Obama,
Obviously:
You are 100 percent correct.
As a 30 year self-employed Executive Recruiter this is the 4th
downturn I’ve worked through. There’s one inescapable piece of
first hand experience/knowledge, though, I’d like to share with
you.
I’m a capitalist and believe in the American Dream. Bush tried to
re-run Reagan’s 1980’s with lower taxes, which worked great in
the 80’s, not so well on the 2000’s.
The Achilles Heel of “Free Market Capitalism/Free Trading” is
labor arbitrage. Meaning, business’ insatiable desire for
unrestrained access to cheap foreign labor both outsourced
(offshore outsourcing) and in-sourced (H-1B and L-1 visas).
Business is behind open borders/amnesty. Business is behind Trade
agreements offering incentive for companies to trade jobs
overseas for increased corporate profits.
What we have are liberals/Democrats driving up the cost of doing
business for a century, then since 2002 an incrementally massive
business accelerated response to move work/jobs to cheap
intelligent foreigners.
This is how, with a real estate bubble, the Bush economy could
see a DOW at 14,000 with not many private sector jobs created
outside of real estate/construction and healthcare. The corporate
sector (which I’m in) hired few people from November
2001-recovery-to December 2008.
My point is unless Republicans solve the problem of a broken
trickle down economics model which drew me to Ronald Reagan being
the first member of my ultra liberal Jewish family to ever vote
Republican in 1984 Rockefeller/Country Club/Free Trade
Republicans will find their message doesn’t resonate with
American workers any more than socialism from Democrats.
Under Rockefellers their job and money go overseas to cheap
foreigners.
Under Democrats their money goes to the IRS and their job
disappears.
Emmett, the GOP needs to adapt its economic employment/jobs
philosophy or the country is doomed to 3rd world status, in my
opinion. I have some ideas to correct it, but I’d alienate each
party’s establishments.

TOXIC CHARACTERS
Re: Jeffrey Lord’s
A Letter to the Rev. J. Bennett Guess:
I was thrilled by the magnitude of Mr. Lord’s theological and
plain logic in his open letter to the United Church of
Christ. I only hope and pray they take his good faith
instructions (educational) to heart in the sense they were
offered, that is in prayerful modesty and in total goodwill. Mr.
Lord is not leaving his Church as I have suggested he and his
congregation should do in earlier letters to the editor. Perhaps
he is right not to take that step just yet and give the Church a
chance to repent and quit associating with such toxic characters.
Only time and Gods will tell the answer. Please God forgive us
all our sins and point us in the right direction, in Jesus name
we pray.

PICKED TO BE THERE
Re: Jeffrey Lord’s
Anti-Beck, Dobbs Efforts Dropped by Church Coalition:
Wow this article reminds me of similar experiences peeling the
onions of the so called “environmental groups” backing up some of
the most radical agenda to control every inch of dirt in Thurston
County, state of Washington.
At the time I was part of the city’s planning commission charged
with writing the city’s ordinances implementing the Washington
State Growth Management Act enacted in the late 80’s. I got in
there, in the middle of hell, to bring some sanity at the
debates.
At every meeting we had the same faces, each supporting a
different group “of concerned citizens.” Then at one point they
decided to form the County Homeowners Association council which
was supposed to help fight those “evil developers” and “land
abusers” who sought to cut every tree in the county.
Having a background in IT and database development, I was tasked
to build the central database with the names of all members. As
an extra field I added the group they belonged to…
Lord and behold, as I began to enter the data, it really came
down to about 50 folks who had weaved these 65 organizations to
appear as if they were a big chunk of the population. And get
this; they had obtained a grant from the state government under
the guise of “clearinghouse for natural resources education” as
an entity to “educate” the citizens on natural resources
issues…
So all of their equipment was purchased with government funds…
Anyway, to make a long story short, I saw how these groups
operate. They’re a very small minority of players coming across
as these big groups with expert tactics in manipulating the media
to their advantage. One item to always look for is when they’re
on TV and the lens points out the group, is it a wide angle or
not? If it’s not a wide angle shot, they’re just a handful.
It’s like Sarah speaking to folks in Virginia about the
republican candidate…she shows up and hundreds, if not
thousands of folk show up. Of course msm is absent…then VP
Biden shows up and 200 folks show up, big news event….one item
left out though…100 of the folks attending are his security
detachment, 50 are journalists members of the posse and the other
50 hand picked to be there…

So we might see requires us first to have our eyes, hearts and

“So We Might See” apparently doesn’t understand this, or that an
organization named “Media Democracy Fund” may be founded to
restrict democracy, not advance it?

THE SALAD SHOOTER
Re: Ralph Reiland’s
Gang Green Going to the Dogs:
One has to wonder: If a mid-sized dog leaves such a carbon
footprint, what about two professors from Victoria? Perhaps they
should be recycled: Soylent Green, anyone? In fact, putting all
the world’s professors in a Salad Shooter seems like a good idea
to me, but apparently that would include Mr. Reiland himself,
which would be a shame.
