Mark Levin Betrays the GOP

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 14 May 2008 23:09:00 -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 ...

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

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 13 May 2008 21:09:00 -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 ...

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

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 11 May 2008 21:57:00 -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 22:36:00 -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 ...

Proving Hard Core Conservatives Wrong on Hispanics

SJ Reidhead — Thu, 08 May 2008 16:44:00 -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 20:02:00 -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 22:28:00 -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 21:43:00 -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 ...

Stealth Conservatives, Not Republican, Against the GOP

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 03 May 2008 22:21:00 -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 11:02:00 -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 ...

Jose Canseco Victim of Personal Stupidity, High Taxes, Not Economy

SJ Reidhead — Fri, 02 May 2008 21:20:00 -0600

MALKIN BLOWS THIS ONE!

"..."Let's say it's $35 million ...
you're paying the government 41 percent.
That leaves you with about $17 or $18 million...."

Jose Canseco blames much of his financial failure on the high costs of taxes and coughing up something like 41% of his income to the government! Our anti-McCain, anti-Bush conservatives have blown it this time. Jose Canseco should be the picture boy for lowering taxes, not the economy. Instead Malkin is treating us to one of her dumbest commentaries ever. She is using Jose Canseco’s defaulting on his mortgage as proof the economy is so ...

When Narcissists Attack - Part I - Illegal Vultures

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:57:00 -0600

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 21:45:00 -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 ...

When Narcissist Attack - Part III - Sometimes I Feel Like An Aborted Fetus!

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:50:00 -0600

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. ...

A Cochise County Perspective - Part III

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:24:00 -0600

BACK TO COCHISE COUNTY

Everyone wanted a piece of the action. They wanted their ‘fair share’. They wanted the money. Because
the Apache were “under control” it was easier for Mexican merchants to cross the border along specific trade routes that had been established a thousand years pervious (and are still in use today). Tombstone had the money. They could afford things. They paid big money for things, at highly inflated rates. The Mexican traders would make their way back into Sonora, rich, their pockets full of Tombstone gold.

Remember, we’re talking the 1881 equivalent of a TRILLION DOLLARS being ...

Why Are Republicans Having Such Problems Raising Funds

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:48:00 -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 ...

Are Sheriff Joe’s Follies Catching Up With Him?

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:36:00 -0600

SHERIFF JOE TOSSES BILL OF RIGHTS!

“…So much for my speech. The struggle, I fear, is just getting started. Both our Mayor and Police Chief have challenged the Sheriff. Religious leaders, myself included, will soon be publishing an open letter in the paper, legal challenges will be mounted. No matter what your views on immigration or your ideas on how to solve this immensely complex problem, the Sheriff's heavy-handed intimidation is not the way. I hope that you will join with me and others in the religious community who are doing their best to balance the laws of our country ...

Is Malkin Anti-Catholic & Tancredo Steps in It!

SJ Reidhead — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:20:00 -0600

ANTI-CATHOLIC SENTIMENT SURFACES

I think by now any thinking person knows the Puppetmaster, John Tanton, is very anti-Catholic. Somehow I don’t think he is very happy with the visit of the Holy Father. So, he has sent his little minions of darkness out to try and ratchet up anti-immigration sentiment based on anti-Catholic bias. The man uses bias and ‘hate’ as his tools of the trade. His minions adopt his values and his tone. The result – well, you be the judge. I think we now know Tom Tancredo and Michelle Malkin are two of his little flunkies. I think ...

Is Bob Barr Another Conservative Who Must Hate America!

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:36:00 -0600

THE CONSERVATIVE TREASON LOBBY

Libertarian blogs are buzzing at the possibility that Bob Barr will inflate his ego and run for POTUS, thereby preventing John McCain from winning and thereby allowing a marxist socialist victory. In doing so they will also doom our nation to deplorable SCOTUS appointments and a devastating war with Iran.
Or as one suicide bomber conservative breathlessly reports

“…Or, as Ronald Reagan said about leaving the Democrat Party, “I didn’t leave the party. The party left me.” There are many voters who feel the same way about today’s Republican party. Those voters could ...

Conservatives Giveth and Conservatives Taketh Away

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:19:00 -0600

ARROGANCE 101

I think most of my regular Pink Flamingo readers know I am not much of a friend of “conservative” bloggers, not the ‘top shelf” ones anyway. I find them to be arrogant, hypocritical, anti-Republican, self-serving individuals who are not interested in promoting the Republican Party. While I am conservative, with my values having not changed since the days of Reagan (save for my disapproval of the death penalty because of my very strong pro-life beliefs) I absolutely refuse to be lumped in with these people. I am a Republican. I am a proud Republican. I vote the elephant ...

Another Liberal Attempt to Destroy John McCain

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:50:00 -0600

NO CONSERVATIVE DEFENSE, EITHER!

I’ve been sitting on this since about mid-afternoon – a good 4 hours, waiting to see if any CONSERVTIVE blogger would come to John McCain’s rescue. So far, only two, mentioned below have behaved with honor. So far, not Malkin, Hot Air, Pajamas Media, Instapundit, Red State – not one other blog: ZIP NADA ZILCH. No one. So far Drudge has not chosen to run with it. Considering how he dislikes McCain, it won’t be long. There is nothing. The story is fairly recent, but if this were an attack on a beloved conservative figure, the ...

Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, Reasonable, and Sore-headed Losers

SJ Reidhead — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:55:00 -0600

GIVE IT A REST

I was going to hold off on this one, but what the heck, I’m so preachy today let’s see who else we can offend! I’m annoyed with conservatives who are so darn egotistical they don’t think John McCain is pure enough for them. I say annoyed with liberals who are so stupid….anyway – maybe we should have a new category – stupid conservatives.

Don’t these people realize if they do not vote for John McCain we are going to be doomed to a Barack Obama administration that will destroy the space program and all that we ...

Blogging for Big Mac – An Idea Whose Time Has Come!

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:34:00 -0600

BIG MAC BLOGGERS

Today the WTimes featured a piece by Stephen Dinan about how the blog world bailed out the McCain campaign. I wasn’t there during those do or die days where everyone but a few people, including Brad Marston, were burying John McCain. I do know there was not a great a blog presence for McCain as the Times would have the world believe.

Captain Ed picked the story up at Hot Air. I find the revisionist history rather fascinating. Like Beth
I only remember Blogs against McCain and a tremendous amount of hate spewed against him, much ...

A Democrat Lies About Big Mac & Conservatives Fall for It!

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:04:00 -0600

ATTACKING BIG MAC

I admit it. I am furious. I am so sick and tired of these people and the things they do about immigration reform I could say something really tacky. I’m not. I am furious at the way they take the word of a racist little twerp like Heath Schuler over John McCain over that deplorable SAVE Act. Somewhere it needs to stop. Right Pundits is resurrecting that debunked claim of DEMOCRAT Heath Shuler that John McCain blocked an yet another suicidal immigration bill.

How long are good decent people going to allow nativist extremists to control the ...

Once Again Conservatives Attack Big Mac

SJ Reidhead — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:27:00 -0600

HE JUST ISN’T PERFECT

I’ve been telling you there is a certain group of conservatives who are making a heck of a lot of noise about not supporting John McCain. They are also making a heck of a lot of trouble for the GOP. I’ve also been telling you for two years that these folks have nothing to do with the GOP and are part of the Constitution Party. This is very serious. I think this is the reason we lost the House and the Senate in 2006. If John McCain were to lose in November, I would lay the ...

How Conservatives Are Still Damaging John McCain

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 09:37:00 -0700

RUSH LIMBAUGH IS OUT OF TOUCH

There is a bottom line here. From what I am starting to discover two things are happening out there. First, your real, honorable, honest Republicans are either un inspired but voting for McCain or absolutely furious with conservatives and talk radio and are ready to fight. The other thing – conservatives and fence sitters could care less and may not be voting. The primary reason is because of conservative talk radio and the trashing of John McCain. If these people do not either shut up or start behaving themselves we are going to end ...

I Told You So - Sucide Bomber Conservatives Strike Again

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 22:20:00 -0700

A NEW THIRD PARTY

Before we get to this new American Conservative Party, how about a little Ollie North Smackdown of them? Leave it to Ollie North. His endorsement for John McCain makes our Suicide Bomber Conservatives look like the petty little despots they are.

THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE PARTY
Pam Meister’s PJ Media article today thinks conservatives could doom the GOP in the fall. At least she is hoping it will. She's another suicide bomber conservative.

“…Votes do count indeed, a timely lesson not only for Republicans, but for Democrats, Independents, and politicians. Shawn Goodwin of Philadelphia, PA, takes ...

The Conservative Damnation of John McCain Continues

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 21:01:00 -0700

JUST LUMP HIM IN WITH SOROS?

I saw a posting on The Hill Chronicles that truly annoyed me today. It is the perfect example of how World Net Daily, Jerome Corsi, and the Tanton hate machine have sucked in good, decent people with their lies. John McCain’s Reform Institute is damned by taking a donation from the Tides Foundation because they took a $4 million donation from Teresa Heinz Kerry. The organization is also damned because Corsi says that Arianna Huffington has been on it’s advisory board.

“…Arianna Huffington, syndicated columnist and creator of the HuffingtonPost.com, has served on the ...
