Back After a Hiatus

Hi there to all my readers.

I know it's been some time since I have posted. Unfortunately, due to medical difficulties I've been unable to post for sometime. However, we're back and ready to get back into the groove again. Stay tuned for political information geared specifically to conservatives, and especially the conservative women out there today.

Now, before I close, I just have to make a few political comments. Since my last post, Barack Obama has become our president, and I must say I'm already upset at the way he is running his administration. Let me give you a few examples.

First of all, he has a tax evader as a part of his cabinet, Geithner. This man will be overseeing money and treasury affairs and advising the president, yet he skipped out on his taxes to the tune of thousands. President Obama...what exactly were you thinking? Oh yes...that's right...you weren't.

Another issue is the closing of the prisons in Guantanamo Bay. Now we're bringing the terrorists here. Some of them are going to get away with their crimes. Since when did we give terrorists special rights? It's war time...they attacked our country...our people died...and now Obama is going to make sure they get "fair" treatment.

Let's not forget the Mexico City Policy, which is a ban on the funding for international groups that fund abortions. Within his first two days, Obama lifted this ban so that now we can give our governments money to international groups to help out with abortions around the world. How sick!!! It's not enough to kill babies in our country, but now we are funding it around the world? No wonder we are in an economic crisis.

With these three bad decisions that have been made already, I'm a bit leery of the future with Obama as our president. Within two days the man made two disastrous decisions that are despicable. What's next?

Will the "REAL" Conservatives Please Stand Up!

Another election has gone by. Another democrat has been elected. The big question - WHY? Well, you've no doubt heard a list of reasons from lamenting republicans over the past few days, but today I want to discuss one reason that most people aren't talking about - the death of the "REAL" conservative.

If you didn't notice, this past election, we had a moderate conservative, John McCain, running for the White House. He somehow secured the party's nomination (much to my chagrin) and began his campaign to nowhere. Talk about a "bridge to nowhere," well, that was basically the campaign of McCain in 2008.

So, what was the problem? The problem was a candidate that was not a "REAL" conservative. Look at history. In the past 20-30 years, candidates that were right wing conservatives have won the presidency. Those who were moderate conservatives have not. The conservative party is looking for true conservative leadership, and they didn't find it in John McCain. In fact, before McCain could even have the conservative base behind his campaign, he had to choose Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Sarah Palin is proof that the right wing conservatives are still around. She energized voters and had a lot to do with making this election as close as it was. Palin was the one that people really loved. Crowds flocked to see her, and she never professed to be a "middle of the road" conservative. She is a conservative, through and through.

Now why, may I ask, have we suddenly begun to pick out candidates that are moderate conservatives? Please people. You're either conservative or you're not. You start talking about being "moderately" conservative and people begin to wonder what you're hiding. Apparently all that blathering about being a "moderate" doesn't work. The independents didn't go out voting for John McCain the "moderate conservative," but instead many of them voted for the most liberal senator to ever walk the floors of the nation's Capitol.

The point is that people like knowing what they are going to get. With president Reagan, he ran as a right wing conservative, and won two terms. Against huge odds, George W. Bush (no matter what you think of him) ran as a conservative, and again won two terms. Then we see people who tried running on a more moderate base, trying to appeal to those independent voters, and they lose. We should be learning a lesson.

It's time to get back to what conservatism is all about. It's not about being a "right wing" conservative or a "moderate" conservative. After all, if we divide our ranks in that way, we only break down our own ranks. This year we saw the Democratic party come together, in spite of some huge rifts, but the conservatives were still hung up on this "moderate" point of view.

This is not the time to be moderate. It's the time to get back to what "REAL" conservatism is all about. Obviously the "moderate" pitch didn't work. After all, why do you think the democrats attacked Sarah Palin so much? They see a "true blue" conservative who is capable of shaking things up, and they fear that. John McCain never scared them, but real conservatives do.

Conservatives like Sarah Palin are going to bring about a new conservative movement I believe. One that is based on being a true conservative, not a moderate conservative. As conservatives, we stand for certain beliefs. We believe in the constitution. We believe in the right to life. We believe in families (and I mean one man and one woman). We believe in smaller government and lower taxes.

Now where, in that belief system, is there room for being "moderate?" So, will the "REAL" conservatives please stand up! We've got work to do!

The Aftermath of Election Day

The ballots have been cast. The decision has been made. Many of us are left wondering what went wrong. In fact, it's taken me a couple of days to deal with the fallout of all that happened on November 4th this year. Was I shocked? Not entirely. Was I disappointed? Definitely!

I must admit, my faith in the American people was a bit shaken. To see a man with so many questions surrounding his character elected astounded me. Why? Well, that remains to be seen.

Although I am still a bit shell shocked and upset, I see a problem here that I believe needs to be quelled immediately.

Sure, it's natural for people to look around and wonder what went wrong. It's obvious that there were points in the campaign against Obama by McCain that could have been stronger.

What went wrong? Well, I have several opinions. First of all, I definitely feel that McCain going along with the bailout plan was a huge mistake. He missed the opportunity to separate himself from Obama and Bush, but he failed to make that move.

Another problem I had was McCains lack of aggressiveness. I had to wonder why he wasn't homing in on the problems with Obama and really driving them home to the American people. This was a fight, and I believe McCain lowered his gloves one too many times and allowed Obama to bring out the knockout punch to win the election.

With that being said, although there may have been problems, now is not the time for finger pointing. In fact, I'm astounded that people are trying to take cheap shots at Sarah Palin, blaming the choice of her for VP running mate as the problem.

Let me set things straight. Sarah Palin was NOT the problem. In fact, had the campaign used her more effectively as the weapon she could have been, things may have been a bit different.

Unfortunately, disappointed and disillusioned republicans are looking for a scapegoat. However, what conservatives don't seem to realize is that now is NOT the time to start having divisions among the conservative ranks.

Obama is president elect. Now we have to live with that. Because of that reality, there's a lot of work that needs to be done in the next four years on the part of the conservatives.

I am sincerely worried that if people continue the bickering and finger pointing, in four years, the conservative party might cease to exist - totally broken and divided by smashed hopes and dreams.

We must look ahead. Four years may seem like a long time, but it's not. During this time conservatives must keep on fighting. Yes, a battle for president has been lost, but the war for our ideals and convictions is still waging. We will only lose if we choose to give up and quit.

The conservatives have never been quitters before. It's not time to start a new precedent. So, let's stop the nasty comments, pondering what could have been different, and look to the future. It may look a bit daunting, but we WILL help to shape it. We dare not back off and lose our voice now.

I appeal to all conservatives, republicans, Regan democrats, and those who have no party affiliation, to keep fighting. No doubt we will see some huge fights in the next four years, but we can't divide ourselves over silly things now. Accept the small defeat, rally back together again, and get back out there. Tomorrow is another day. Another day to fight!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barack Obama - Do You Really Know Him? Part 1

Barack Obama. He draws crowds, gives compelling speeches, and promotes "true change." However, how much do the American people really know about this man? Before you vote in November, it's important that you know the truth. Since there are actually many scandals and hidden problems in Obama's past, we'll have to break this up into several blog posts, so here is part 1.

1. He Doesn't Want You to Know About His College Years - Obama started out at Occidental College in California, but has called that time a "dead end." Then he went on to go to New York to attend Columbia University. However, he's working hard to keep this time a secret, blocking the release of his transcripts. Obama has actually admitted that during this time he did drugs "enthusiastically." During his time at Columbia, his roommate was from Pakistan, who was deeply involved in drugs. After Columbia, Obama went on to Harvard, and he will not allow transcripts to be released from his Harvard years either. Not even his senior thesis can be found. The title was "Soviet Nuclear Disarmament." So, one has to wonder what Obama is trying to hide from all these years of college.

In fact, many actually wonder at how Obama ended up at Harvard. In an interview with a news station, Percy Sutton (attorney for Malcom X) actually stated that he was asked by Dr. Khalid Al Mansour, who is a radical extremest and who has ties to the government of Saudi Arabia, to help get Obama into Harvard. Mansour is also well known for his radicalism against Israel.

Here's what Obama himself said about his college years:

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout,I chose my friends carefully.The more politically active black students.The foreign students.The Chicanos.The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets.At night,in the dorms,we discussed neocolonialism,Franz Fanon,Eurocentrism,and patriarchy.When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake,we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling constraints.We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated."

2. What he "REALLY" Was Involved in as a Community Organizer - Although the idea that Obama was a community organizer sounds fine to most people to start out with, most don't realize that during his community organizing days, he had ideological ties to the radical, Saul Alinsky, the author of "Rules for Radicals." (Read more about Alinsky and excerpts from his book HERE)

Although Alinsky and Obama never met, it is clear that Obama was greatly influenced by him during his community organizing days. In fact, Obama actually wrote an article back in 1988 on Alinksy that would later become a chapter in his book. Read it HERE. Much of this chapter is very similar to what you'll find in the book by Alinsky "Rules for Radicals."

Not only did Obama adhere to the ideology of Alinsky, but he also attended socialist activities and speeches during this time. However, while we know a little about his ties, Obama says very little about these years as well. It appears that Obama has not only a background in radicalism but socialism as well that he is trying to keep hidden from the American people.

Think about this and take the time to watch the first part of Hannity's America on this topic. Then ask yourself...is this who you want to be the president of your country? Don't forget....part 2 will come tomorrow.
