View Article  When Did “Conservative” Mean Goose-Stepping Loss of Individuality?
MOVEMENT CONSERVATIVES

Yesterday evening I finally realized one of the problems bothering me when it comes to today’s non-Republican conservatives. How about a quote from Ann Coulter:
“…And I think what happened today demonstrates that the movement conservatives, or the radical right wing as we're being called, is the one with the power in this relationship, the power in the country. That is to say, as I have been arguing since the Roberts nomination, yes, it would be fine if Bush nominated a wonderful, qualified conservative like Janice Rogers Brown. Even if she's defeated, that is a victory for ...   more »
View Article  Who Ordered the Conservative "Hit" on Lindsey?
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE
Quin Hillyer wrote one of the nastiest hit pieces I’ve seen to date against Lindsey.    Naturally he is channeling Michelle Malkin who has this pathological hatred of Lindsey.  I think it’s because she dislikes anything Hispanic and Lindsey is not exactly a bigot, and sorta implied that she and her precious little friends are.   I guess since she is promoting Buddy Witherspoon, we all know who is handling her leash – the John Tanton crowed.  She’s also part of what I call the Dump Lindsey Movement.  It’s all part of certain non-Republican ...   more »
View Article  Mark Levin Betrays the GOP
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 ...   more »
View Article  Another Hard Line Anti-Immigration GOP Candidate Bites the Dust
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 ...   more »
View Article  John McCain's "Evil" Sell-Out on Global Warming?
 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 ...   more »
View Article  Two Stories About Illegal Migrants & The People Who Deal With Them
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 ...   more »
View Article  Mexico's Drug Wars Threaten US Border
IT'S THE DRUGS NOT THE ILLEGALS

The Juarez style "narco-crimes" are now invading Tucson in the "narco" community. This is going to become more and more the norm all along the border as Mexico's narco-war invades the US.  It makes a person wonder why the House Democrats want to cut anti-drug aid to Mexico just when the nation needs it the most!  Fortunately, we have a GOP Presidential nominee who "Gets it".
"...Until now, Republicans and Democrats had tried to make as little noise as possible about the Bush administration's Mérida Initiative, a request for $500 million to help Mexico ...   more »
View Article  Why I Am Annoyed with Conservatives
SUNDAY, MAY 11

I want to set the record straight on a few things.  First, I am conservative.  I am not “A Conservative”.  I am conservative.  My conservative values have NEVER changed – except for my views on capital punishment.  I was for it, but then when I really began thinking about the pro-life implications, I cannot support it.  I do not believe in taking a person’s life – no matter who.  My only exception is for treason and then just shoot ‘em where they stand.  This is the only thing about my conservative views that has changed.  I want ...   more »
View Article  How “Conservatives” Are Destroying the GOP – Part: Whatever
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. ...   more »

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.

…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 ...   more »
View Article  Proving Hard Core Conservatives Wrong on Hispanics
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 ...   more »
View Article  Hitting Big Mac on Judges
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 ...   more »

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 ...   more »

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 ...   more »
View Article  Conservatives & Ron Paul Bot Cost GOP House Seat In LA Last Night
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 ...   more »
View Article  Stealth Conservatives, Not Republican, Against the GOP
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 ...   more »

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 ...   more »

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 ...   more »

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.

Nathaniel Rothschild of Great Britain in contravention of federal election laws,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wrote ...   more »

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 ...   more »

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.  ...   more »
View Article  Chertoff Lied About BLM Report on Border Fence
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.

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 ...   more »
