I Don't want Him to Succeed...

It started out as the smallest twinge, it morphed into a nagging back ache, and has metastasized into what could be a deadly cancer for the Republican party; the belief that we must moderate our ideas, compromise our principles and negotiate our beliefs away to the hard left Democrats. "We must reach across the aisle and compromise" we are told. It is said that we must come from a moderate right position to counter what is referred to as the moderate left. The moderate left is as powerless as the Republican Party at this time. Get over it boys and girls, we’re playing with the Hard left; there are no negotiations, there are no prisoners. The left never compromises what it wants. If you don’t think so just go negotiate with Pelosi, see if you even have ahold of the stick let alone the short end. Go pull a good man’s "Moderate Republican" reputation (George W. Bush) out of the ditch where the liberals/progressives lied it to. Yes, that’s right, they lie. They lie more than they tell the truth because with the left it is all about outcomes, not how you get there. Anything is game if it gets you what you want. What other group could acknowledge one of their own, Bill Clinton, as a liar, and yet admire him for it because he was so good at it? Hell, the press was impressed with that particular skill.

It is true that I take a hard line conservative stance on public policy and against liberal/progressive views, but what I have seen lately from so-called Republicans is spineless. I have not been shouted down, yet, for holding and espousing a strong conservative view, but I have been admonished that “they have a valid point of view (liberal/progressive) too.” No, they don’t. History has proven this time and time again. Liberalism/progressivism fails every time it is tried. The only reason to listen to them is to better able yourself to refute their socialist ideas/ideals and addenda’s. The Republican Party is doomed to continual defeat as it is currently structured and positioned, with moderates like McCain filling the halls of power in the party. The party needs to be taken back to being the “party of Reagan”, and the moderates, and the hard left live in fear of this.

Now we have all heard it said that we “must get behind the Obama and support him” and that we must all “wish him success”. I don’t think so. I will not be supporting Obama and I do not wish him success. His success is a socialist agenda that is not in keeping with mine or the Founders vision of America. Individual freedom is our credo, not group grievances. The freedom to pursue your hopes and dreams knowing that nothing, especially government, will stand in your way. Freedom from government coercion to instill value sets on our children that are inconsistent with our families’ beliefs. The freedom to choose who, what and where you will be, and not as the “member” of some leftist power group that must be appeased. America is not the Race peddlers, the color counters, the "I'm offended group" or the angry mob demanding the properties of others. No, America is not the things that Obama has promised and stands for. I do not wish him success. His success is the failure of the Great American Experiment and the abolition of the American Dream. His success is the dull outlook of a socialist drone.

Conservatism is the path to a bright and shining future for America. We see it beginning to happen in Europe where they have struggled under socialist governments for decades. They are coming out of their “second dark ages” and moving towards, as the people are demanding, conservatism and its empowering feature, capitalism. Let us hope for the sake of Western Civilization that it remembers who and what it is and that it is not some form of Marx.

Conservatism is; individual freedom, a belief in God and Country, American exceptionality, small government, taxes that are just, fair and equitable to all, capitalism (not necessarily big business), no monopolies (especially in the public school system), and a belief in the value of each and every person and their right to pursue life, liberty and happiness as their dream guides them. These are great products that we have for sale here! They appeal to all peoples regardless of color, ethnicity, gender or background. Each one of us is free to succeed to the highest level that we are personally capable of. There are no impediments except for ourselves and the limits that we harness to our backs such as the soft bigotry of liberalism/progressivism. All we need is a good salesman once again. The truths have not changed from the Reagan era. The "Shinning City on the Hill" is still right there to reach for despite the liberals/progressives calling it an illusion.
