CAN THE CONSERVATIVE PHOENIX ARISE?

Maybe, but it won’t be easy.
Every day the US is becoming more politically liberal--and less conservative. Is there anything a conservative can do to stop, even slow, this movement? Is conservative America doomed?

Someone once said that as soon as the majority of the populace among a democracy realizes that they can get countless freebees by voting in a particular person or party, then that society is doomed for failure, it’s only a matter of time. The US passed that threshold many years ago. Now only the conservatives continue to hold their fingers in the dike.

So what is one to do? Vote the straight Republican ticket (or Tea Party candidate, even better), and encourage others to do the same.

I know, I know, I know, I feel the same. I hate what the party has become. I’m frustrated, cynical, disappointed, depressed, angry, fatigued, alarmed, offended, heart broken, anguished, and as a result I have constant migraines and athlete’s foot.

However, let’s discuss reality:

• Life is hard, very hard.
• Politics is all about power.
• We have a two party system (all other parties are powerless).
• The Democratic Party has the power.
• Only the Republican (and Tea) Party has any hope for effective opposition.
• The Republican Party is more conservative than the Democratic Party.

A vote for any candidate other than a Republican weakens the party and, thus, effectively strengthens the Democratic Party.

If the Republican Party can regain power, then its members can work for change within the party. As long as the Republican Party is less powerful than that other party, there will be resistance for Republican leaders to promote conservative ideals because the prevailing opinion will be that the party must appeal to moderates in order to be successful.

First comes success (power), then comes change within.

I know, I know, you hate what I’m saying, but—well think about it.

PS--Voting “for the person” is chic and sounds smart, but if that person is not a Republican, it’s an option that, ultimately, will only facilitate the further liberalization of America.

LIBERALS DON'T LIKE AMERICA--the proof

Part 2—The Proof

To prove that Liberals don’t like America, America must first be defined. Without a clear definition it’s all mumbo jumbo. My definition of America is based on things as they were in the 1950’s.

Hold on, my ears are burning and I know why. “That’s not fair!” I can hear someone saying. Nay, but it is fair. America in the ‘50’s was far more similar to how American had been for its first 180 years of existence than what it looks like today. Defining America as it is today would be using an example that has been around for only 30 years or so—an America altered by five decades of Liberal change. Anyway, the point is that Liberals didn’t like America then, they don’t like it today, and they never will like it fully.

  America in the 1950’s                 What Liberals Want Instead

  Limited Government                    Always More Government
  Abortion is Illegal                        Legal Abortion
  Strong States Rights                    National Policies (i.e., weak states rights)
  Balanced Federal Budget            Large Budget Deficits (to fund programs)
  Private Medical Care                  Government Health Care
  Strong National Defense             Friendly Diplomacy
  Mixing of Religion and State*      Separation of Religion and State
  Capitalism                                   Government Control of Business
  Equality of Opportunity               Equality of Outcome

* In 1956, Congress made “In God We Trust” the US national motto ordered that it be put on US currency, and they added “under God” to the pledge of allegiance.

Although the above is not an exhaustive list, you get the idea: 
                       LIBERALS DON’T LIKE AMERICA

Note: Missing from the above lists is "personal freedom." This issue is very complex and will be addressed separately.

LIBERALS DON'T LIKE AMERICA (and I can prove it)

Part 1--continued

Okay, where was I, oh yeah, Liberals are for “change.” But who isn’t after all. The problem is that in every instance their “change” means more government--every time, no exceptions.

In fact, Liberal ideology insists upon, even demands constantly growing government. According to Alan Wolfe, a widely respected liberal spokesman, liberals should “insist upon reform; not only in the public and political sense, but in the private and human one.” That is, if you don’t think and act like they want you to, they’ll continue to develop new government programs that will work toward changing your behavior, like it or not. All this is justified because liberals know best. And who will pay for these programs? Why you of course.

Get this, according to Alan Wolfe, “social institutions...must be constructed so as to produce the kind of individuals each society wants.” Only liberals, he explains, know the kind of individuals our society wants. Therefore, it is the responsibility of liberals to continually create new “social institutions” that work to change American's actions and thought patterns until they become like “society wants.”

This doesn’t simply evoke Big Brother, this IS Big Brother. The published objective of liberals is to BE Big Brother—and we ought to thank them for it.

(Tomorrow I will prove that Liberals don't like America)

BOARDER WAR ESCALATES

HOLY EMBEZZELMENT BATMAN

Of course there is the $10 billion dollars that illegal immigrants cost California tax payers each year (according to the Center for Immigration Reform), but believe it or not, that’s not even the half of it. Little known and, virtually never mentioned, are the billions of dollars being siphoned out of the California economy by Mexicans. Last time I looked, in 2008, approximately $13 billion dollars were being sent back to Latin America (mostly Mexico). That money is a direct, unrecoverable loss to the state’s economy. But there’s more, much more: a dollar paid in wages is then spent and re-spent approximately two times each year (i.e., the “velocity of money”). So the $13 billion dollars actually translates to $26 billion per year of lost economic activity in California. A large portion of this lost money is due to illegals.

In 2008, California’s entire economy amounted to about $1.85 trillion, so the loss of $26 billion (1.4%) in economic activity is no trivial matter. Particularly, when you consider that the state would be lucky to sustain an average growth rate of 1.0 percent per year (but probably won't).

Isn’t the $30 billion that the US sends to Mexico in foreign aid enough already?

Personally, I have never read or heard any mention of these well documented facts. If you have, please let me know.
