Moderates appealing to the Lowest Common Denominator

November 20, 2008 on 8:24 pm | In Iowa Political, National Political | No Comments

Since the recent defeat of John McCain, moderate Republicans and so-called “moderate conservatives” have been appearing on media outlets everywhere- their every remark about the demise of traditional conservatism being lapped up by the establishment media. Nice try, people… and nervy. John McCain cannot be called a conservative by any standards. He accessorized with Palin, but the suit is still the suit. The moderates are acting as if this election were a referendum on conservatism. Ludicrous! How could it be when the voters had only a choice between liberal and liberal lite. I’m hearing the same chorus here in Iowa and across the nation: “To survive the GOP must abandon principles and replace them with functionary hand-out policies.” Disheartening. Clearly there is a national trend to surrender to ignorance, low expectations and the new role of citizen as a whining, needy child. To pander to this trend, as moderates suggest, is no way to save our Party or our country. Yes, of course, we must present solutions, but they should be born of our beliefs not despite them. Moderates want us to become the Party of no ideas and no ideals. If we go whichever way the wind may blow instead of following a clear and decisive path, we will most certainly be lost.

Can Obama Unite?

November 15, 2008 on 4:57 pm | In National Political | 1 Comment

Excerpted from “The Blackford Approach”:
One of the youngest Presidents in the history of our nation will bring new shades to the canvas of white leaders who came before his unprecedented political career. Some say Barrack Obama has proved to be a biracial icon who can mobilize blacks and whites alike. This writer says “hold your horses!” Before we light candles and sing Kumbaya let’s look at President-Elect Obama some more. First of all, I do congratulate him on his victory in being our first elected black President. However, on Tuesday November 4, 2008, Election Day, in Philadelphia Black Panthers with night sticks blocked voters from entering their polling place….Imagine the outcry of the Obama camp if it had been Skin Heads in Georgia or Florida trying to intimidate voters! My point is: where was Obama on this outrage? Where was Obama when the voters of Philadelphia needed him? He should have placed a call right away to the National Black Panther Party and told them to stand down. Intimidation at any polling places will not be tolerated! I am a believer that Obama has a long way to go to prove he can bring our country together as one!

For Some Obama Vote a Financial Bargain

November 14, 2008 on 6:41 pm | In National Political | No Comments

Many Obama supporters did cast their votes with the noblest of intentions and the purest of hearts, but for many others it was something else.Throughout the campaign, Obama’s salespitch was always there- darting around behind the casual wit & conservative-sounding vernacular. For those who were listening for it, it was always there-in every issue- in every campaign promise: MONEY. It was always about MONEY. Every day he let these voters know that if they voted for him, in return, somehow, someday, he would make sure they got money- stimulus checks, forgiven loans, cheap insurance, free health care- whatever. They floated to the polling places, basking in the warm fantasy of being coddled cradle to grave by a loving government.So, on November 4th, many of us went to vote with hands extended in needy, greedy supplication. They marked their ballots and kept their part of the bargain.For them, it wasn’t an election. It was a transaction.

Carl, Bill and the Trashing of Palin

November 14, 2008 on 6:36 pm | In National Political | No Comments

It’s never a good thing when those charged with conveying the news becomes the news. Unfortunately, Fox News reporter Carl Cameron has again achieved that distinction. O’Reilly has been tap dancing as fast as he can to escape the spattering fallout from Cameron’s recent sliming of Sarah. He’s claimed that it was news because he trusted Cameron “to bring him news- not irresponsible hearsay”. What about it Carl? Can you verify sources in stories that can potentially end a career? Bill you did not need to report unsubstantiated stories without attribution. You say you HAD to report the news- but if we’d heard this news from a legitimate source, we’d have also heard, AT THE SAME TIME, the response of the subject or at least that considerable efforts had been made to reach them for comment. We didn’t hear that as part of Carl’s story. The choice to air the story without it was Bill’s. The spin may stop there but apparently the buck doesn’t. But keep, dancing buddy. Another noteworthy element was Carl Cameron’s demeanor when giving that initial report. His lipsmacking glee was unseemly. Even when O’Reilly tried to talk over him, Cameron fought back hard to make sure every juicy tidbit was heard. He reminded one of a beauty parlor busybody- oh so anxious to share the latest morsel of hot gossip. Remember that in the Primary, FOX was frequently under fire because of Cameron’s obvious efforts to support his admitted buddy, Huckabee and his equally obvious efforts to report anything negative on Romney and anybody else who stood between Huck and the WhiteHouse. Carl- just report the NEWS, please.

Not Giving Obama the Benefit of the Doubt? I’m Guilty

November 14, 2008 on 6:31 pm | In National Political | No Comments

I’m already receiving a great deal of criticism for “assuming the worst” about our new President and “not giving him a fair chance” I’m guilty as charged. I am anticipating the very worst. If a miracle should occur and President Obama were to govern as a mild-mannered moderate who actually stood against the radical left-wing agenda proposed by Soros, Pelosi, Frank and the like, then I would humbly and publicly beg forgiveness. But I don’t think I will have to do that. We, those who are fighting to save conservatism in our country, cannot stand by for a few months to see how things “shake out”. We cannot spare that time. We must work every moment to learn and plan and prepare. Should our preparations not be needed, we’d rejoice. But as it is , we must expect the worst- but pray for the best.
