Guest post by Bob Southard (a reaction to Tim’s post):
Over the past few decades, we conservatives have seen a parade of Republican candidates and politicians who espouse individual liberty, freedom and government, yet ride herd on a grossly escalating Federal government budget. Conservatives, you say? Hardly. The party of Reagan has lost its way.
From the first George Bush to his son and with Olympia Snow and a host of other "Rockefeller Republicans", we watched as our party of restrained gov’t and individual liberty shoved a steadily growing budget of entitlement programs down our throats. The Bushes and all their RINO variants did not believe what we and Ronald Reagan and the Founders of our country believe. At their core, they remain decent human beings who bought the fallacy of Government as the "Protector" of our rights. In this process, they have very nearly destroyed our Republican Party.
The Tea Party has become the single unifying rallying cry for conservatives all over the country. People who actually believe in our constitution, who pay their taxes, who speak English and who obey the law. These are the people who must take back our Party and our nation. What we must stand for and fight at every opportunity is any philosophy or thought process that permits the enemies of our constitution to become elected to office. This must stop now.
There remain many principled conservatives and republicans who twist themselves up in anguished knots when reviewing candidates on Nov. 2nd. They believe that some of our candidates do not pass a "purity test" for conservatism; therefore, they can not bring themselves to vote for the republican. Nothing could be more wrong-headed nor harmful in our determination to return our country to its birthright. In fact, this thinking has the potential to destroy the momentum generated by the Tea Party.
The Democrats have successfully…
Heh! This is just SO rich. BOTH sound like they are oh so reasonable with taxpayer money – after all, they only want to help others – with yet other peoples’ money. ANY attempt to limit their access to that last item causes them to recoil in absolute horror!
Carol SEIU-Porter seems to think we need government. That the Tea Party and others do not want any government. That there is no role for government. And while there is a minority of people within the various facets of the movement who might agree, most of us do not because anarchy leads to oligarchy and totalitarianism. That’s just how people are wired.
Ann McLane Kuster, aside from having another one of those pretentious feminist names like Carol Seiu-Porter, has demonstrated to us that she is just another shill for the left wing narrative.
