Mark Levin Betrays the GOP

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 14 May 2008 23:09:09 -0600

CONSERVATIVE NOT REPUBLICAN

For months I've been telling you that there are certain conservatives who are no more Republican than Barack Obama is. Mark Levin just proved me correct. This is the WORST piece of you know what I've ever heard. This needs to end - now. Right now I am absolutely furious. I don't know when I have been so angry. We are dealing with people who are so warped that they do not comprehend they have destroyed the "brand" they once embraced. Maybe Mark Levin needs to go back and read the Contract with America. Not once in ...

Another Hard Line Anti-Immigration GOP Candidate Bites the Dust

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 14 May 2008 08:44:57 -0600

THE HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME
(BUT THEMSELVES)

Once again a Republican wannabe has been sent packing, tail between his legs. There are several reasons for this. Unlike this gloom and doom blame everything on GWB post from Race 42008, President Bush IS NOT the problem! We all know all the little cowardly conservatives who dance around the anti-immigration bonfire singing the sky is falling, and deport 'em all are the ones who are to blame. They sound more like Barack Obama who doesn't have the intellectual capacity or the maturity to shoulder the blame himself. They are ...

John McCain's "Evil" Sell-Out on Global Warming?

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 13 May 2008 21:09:18 -0600

IS HE JUST PLAIN SMART?
(or)
ARE CONSERVATIVES BETRAYING MCCAIN?

John McCain betrayed conservatives yesterday when he caved to the dastardly theology of "Global Warming". Or did he? He addressed the problems of global climate change, which even the most conservative of thinkers acknowledges is occurring. Anyone who follows science news knows something is happening out there. Frankly, I go with the theory that humans aren't important enough in the great scheme of things to completely disrupt the planet unless they blow it up with a bunch of nukes. I don't see a Death Star anywhere, so until the Grand ...

Two Stories About Illegal Migrants & The People Who Deal With Them

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 12 May 2008 22:27:13 -0600

GOOD BP - BAD ICE

Two stories are going to be presented for your edification. One will detail the absurd waste of taxpayer dollars disrupting the lives of up to 700 families. The other is an exemplary example of the Border Patrol at its best.

ICE REIGN OF TERROR CONTINUES
Does anyone know how long this reign of terror conducted by ICE will continue. Not only content to raid the largest Kosher packing plant in the nation, but they are also making absurd claims that Meth is being made on the property. The raid will probably disrupt the supply of ...

How “Conservatives” Are Destroying the GOP – Part: Whatever

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 11 May 2008 21:57:06 -0600

THE CONSERVATIVE CANARD

“…"Forty to fifty percent of the conservative leaders that I talk to at the national and state level either want the Republican to lose in November, or are ambivalent about it." Since the beginning of the movement, "We took the long range view. We didn't put all our eggs in any one election. We said that this isn't a sprint, it's a marathon." Viguerie said that he's telling his conservative friends not "to fear defeat." After all, GOP loses in 1964, 1974, 1976 and 1992 "cleaned out a lot of dead wood" from the Republican Party. ...

Why Is There No REAL GOP Leadership in the House?

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 10 May 2008 22:36:21 -0600

HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT!

Novak has a Townhall piece today that is basically humiliating in nature for the GOP. Nancy Pelosi has run rough-shod over them for nearly 2 years and they’ve basically surrendered.
Flap is covering Newt Gingrich’s cry in the darkness.

“…Nine Acts of Real Change That Could Restore the GOP Brand

Here are nine acts of real change that would begin to rebuild the American people's confidence that Republicans share their values, understand their worries, and are prepared to act instead of just talk. The Republicans in Congress could get a start on all nine ...

Another Pink Flamingo I Told You So – It’s the Narco-War – Not Immigration

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 10 May 2008 13:34:56 -0600

ARE CHAVEZ, FARC INVOLVED IN MEXICO

If you think illegal immigration is bad now, just wait. If what I think is happening, we are in for a massive tide of illegal immigration – refugees fleeing the growing narco-war in Mexico. This is a war, perhaps involving Hugo Chavez, the FARC, and his plans to undermine Mexico and bring terror to the border.

Our precious little conservatives, who are pandering to hard-line racists who have nothing to do with the GOP are diverting money that needs to go into the fight against narco-terror. That is what it is. Wait, ...

Now That the NYTimes Says Illegals Die in Detention…Will Anyone Care...Yet?

THIS WEEK’S IMMIGRATION NEWS

They are now called Juan Crow Laws.

I have a real problem here. I am noticing a growing trend within conservative (extreme, not Republican) blog ranks to classify La Raza as racist. Along with that, there seems to be this under tone that maybe Hispanics are less than acceptable. Or, if they are, we’re talking “OUR” Hispanics and the other (UPPITY) Hispanics. Let’s face some very nasty facts here. The same individuals who fought against the Civil Rights reforms and integration in the Sixties are the very ones helping to promote hard-line immigration reform. Does ...

Proving Hard Core Conservatives Wrong on Hispanics

SJ Reidhead — Thu, 08 May 2008 16:44:44 -0600

THE HISPANIC REPUBLICAN VOTE

Rubin Navarrette has a PJ Media piece about the Mexican flag. There is a double standard. Anything Mexican is bad – evil, evidently.

“…The point is, a lot of Americans look at anyone who waves a Mexican flag as secretly planning to take over the Southwest and hand it to Mexico. But they don’t suggest that anyone waving the Israeli flag - or the Irish flag, or the Italian flag or whatever - has something similar up his sleeve. In those cases, most people are likely to think that the display is harmless and that all ...

Hitting Big Mac on Judges

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 07 May 2008 20:02:18 -0600

SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS

There was something of a small feeding frenzy yesterday, lost in all the election news, about John McCain, his ideas about judges, and the extreme conservative reaction to it. Over the next few days I am going to be concentrating on the problems the GOP is facing with conservatives. It isn't that "conservative" is the problem. The problem is the fact that there is an entire breed of conservative that is not GOP and basically is wishing for the demise of the GOP. It is time we separate the conservatives from the Republicans and the honorable ...

Is Your Anti-Hispanic Racism Showing?

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 06 May 2008 22:28:57 -0600

THIS IS BIASED - THIS IS RACISM

I want to tell you about a story I heard today. I am not telling who told it to me. The man is Hispanic. His family has been in New Mexico since the Conquistadors. THEY ARE REPUBLICAN. They have served in the military. They vote. They go to church, have jobs, and contribute to society. Unfortunately, my friend’s sister cannot find her birth certificate. She has lost her baptismal certificate. The state of New Mexico declares she was never born. She has a Social Security # and is receiving it. She has her ...

Michelle Malkin’s Secret Fear (John McCain & Hispanics)

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 05 May 2008 21:43:02 -0600

MICHELLE HATES MCCAIN
(or is it anything Hispanic)

Does this offend you? If it does, I suggest you join your little friends at Stormfront, or go flush some of your hard earned money down the coffers of any one of the minutemen groups. I also suggest you sit back, and breathe. There....in, out. Now sneeze. (wait, that's me). Think back on all the tales you remember - of Ronald Reagan's campaign. Think about all the GOP POTUS campaigns since then - and you might discover (if yo are willing to look) that EVERY Republican nominee for President of the ...

Conservatives & Ron Paul Bot Cost GOP House Seat In LA Last Night

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 04 May 2008 20:02:47 -0600

WAS JENKINS IMMIGRATION POSITION A LOSER?

Once again sore-headed LOOSER conservatives have triumphed. Last night, in Louisiana, Republican turned Independent, Ashley Casey, cost the Republicans yet another house seat. If her votes had gone to GOP candidate, Woody Jenkins, Jenkins would have had 50,459 votes to Democrat default winner, "Don" Cazayoux, who had an unofficial 49,702. I don't know if the 757 vote difference would have been enough to avoid a run-off, but it is enough to determine these outcast conservatives can do serious damage to the GOP.

There's more: Randall T. Hayes, who received 402 votes is ...

Stealth Conservatives, Not Republican, Against the GOP

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 03 May 2008 22:21:37 -0600

THEY BETRAY THEIR “CONSERVATIVE” IDEALS

I think there is this false perception that I do not like conservatives, and have something against them. In a way that is true. I am conservative. The only change I’ve been through in about 20 years of political evolution is the fact that I am now against the death penalty simply because I am so staunchly pro-life. It is rather ludicrous to be against abortion, but yet want to put criminals to death. It just doesn’t work. Other than that, I am as conservative (maybe a little more) as I was when Reagan was ...

If Chuck Baldwin Were Elected POTUS

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 03 May 2008 11:02:41 -0600

THE 'TRUE' CONSERVATIVE AGENDA

From Border Fire Report (for what it’s worth)

I keep telling you there are many conservatives who are not Republican. These are the individuals who have been doing all the agitating – and we’re not talking Ron Paul Bots. There is a division in the conservative ranks between libertarians, Constitution, and the new conservative party. The problem is these are the yahoos who basically cost the GOP the majority in the House and Senate in 2006. If we aren't careful and marginalize them, this will happen, once again, and could cost John McCain the election. They ...

Today, Dave at Oricus links to a commentary at Fire Dog Lake about a Peggy Noonan column. I have long ago said the venerable Ms Noonan is not firing on all thrusters. I think this time she has basically driven over a cliff.

JUDICIAL WATCH GOES AFTER BIG MAC

I’m not a fan of Judicial Watch. I think it is a crock. As if to prove my point, that my theory that certain conservatives are going to do all they can to ruin the man, Judicial Watch pops up and files a FEC Complaint against John McCain.

“…“Recent news reports suggest that Sen. John McCain and John McCain for President may have accepted an in-kind contribution from foreign nationals Lord Rothschild OM GBE and the Hon. Nathaniel Rothschild of Great Britain in contravention of federal election laws,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wrote ...

When Narcissists Attack - Part II - A Convenient Untruth

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:45:51 -0600

MALKIN’S HATRED OF JOHN MCCAIN

When Aristotle defined hubris, he may have been thinking of Michelle Malkin.

"...Aristotle defined hubris as follows: to cause shame to the victim, not in order that anything may happen to you, nor because anything has happened to you, but merely for your own gratification. Hubris is not the requital of past injuries; this is revenge. As for the pleasure in hubris, its cause is this: men think that by ill-treating others they make their own superiority the greater...."

Why does Michelle Malkin hate John McCain so much? We know she supports his military ...

NARCISSISTS AREN’T JUST DEM OR GOP

One of the great third party narcissists, Chuck Baldwin, pulled off something of a coup this weekend and is now the Constitution Party’s nominee for POTUS. This is excellent news for John McCain because it is the very worst thing that could happen to Bob Barr’s proposed Libertarian Ego Fest. This could be the best of all possible solutions to the whole "Third Party" threat of any of these yahoos. These twerps are going to cancel one another's votes. They are vying for the same voter - the chip-on-the-shoulder, sore-head, dis-functional, hate-everything-different voter. ...

Those Wonderful Little Ron Paul Bots Strike Again

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:40:38 -0600

THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE GOP!

It is called Restore the Republic. There is a master plan for Ron Paul Bots to take over the GOP county by county. Everyone has been laughing, saying this can’t happen, but evidently these little freaks are trying to take the GOP away from normal, decent Republicans. And, we’re so Republican, we’re allowing it to happen. The good thing is it looks like they aren't doing all that well. The bad thing is these freaks are organized. They remind me of the critters who couldn't be swatted in some bad sci ...

Chertoff Lied About BLM Report on Border Fence

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:30:04 -0600

FENCE WOULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE

Demands are finally being made to force Michael Chertoff to either resign or be removed from his position as the Secretary of Homeland Security. It is possible the man has a track record of not telling the truth. Last September BLM officials informed Michael Chertoff that the proposed border fence would cause irreparable damage to the fragile San Pedro aquifer and the Riparian sanctuary. Evidently Chertoff LIED about the information the BLM gave to him and just went on as planned, ignoring the Constitution of the US.

“…Yet when U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael ...

Rape, Abuse, Perceptions, & Mothers

RAPE IS RAPE

Today I am blogging lite. I’ve had a very strange day, escorting my god-daughter around town, taking her to lunch at a local eatery (non chain), then to her consult with Leroy as to her ‘make-over’. We were at the shop of one of my best friends, when a COLLECT call from her confessed pedophile father rang through on her cell. Knowing what I do of the situation, I told her not to answer, call her mother, and have her contact the DA. I watched a 14 year old girl who was having a fun day go ...

I know I am telling it one-sided, against the Minutemen in California. But what I have found is so repulsive and so vile it needs to be exposed to the light of day. It is obvious someone is going to cross the line one of these days and shots are going to be fired. I have a feeling it will be a Minuteman or one ...

Why Are Republicans Having Such Problems Raising Funds

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:48:49 -0600

COULD IT BE – IMMIGRATION?

Earlier today I spoke to our local Women’s Republican group, delivering what amounted to a partial doom and gloom prediction. While the talk was primarily about the various blogs for John McCain, I said the following:

The implications for the GOP could be disastrous if we do not change our ways and modernize our way of thinking. This is precisely what a group of us are attempting to do. If we cannot get the rank and file every day members of the Republican Party to perhaps re-think the wheel a little, I am afraid we ...

The Great Immigration Debate

A DEBATE

StrataSphere pointed me to it the debate. Right Voices is hosting a forum on immigration. The following is my comment, plus a bit more. If we don't get a handle on the movement of drugs across the border, nothing is going to matter. The problem is - no one wants to believe it.

The thing that frustrates me is the fact that the hard-line anti-immigration supporters are obscuring the real issue: the trafficking of illegal narcotics. The only time the subject is even mentioned is when an “illegal” either on drugs or trafficking drugs commits a crime that ...

I’ve had an interesting week. Evidently there are limits to conservative “Christian” love, acceptance, and kindness. From what I am to gather this week, it only applies to heterosexual males and females and to gays and lesbians who are penitent, repentant, and basically willing to have a psychological lobotomy. Character doesn’t matter. The sinner can be a good person and the advertising “Christian” can be abjectly evil. As long as they flaunt their religion and are heterosexual, ...
