Evil Snakes

Long considered a top conservative thinker, incorrectly to be sure, Bill Kristol has been exposed as a big government globalist, and an opponent to the freedom seeking limited government citizenry.

Kristol, formerly with The National Review, was most recently exposed in joining other supposed conservative leaders in their opposition to Donald Trump. Make no mistake, Trump is not a conservative, but their opposition to him essentially was an assist the potential election of Hillary Clinton, who if elected, would have destroyed this country as founded forever.

We cannot say that others who participated in that Trump bashing effort, but given a tweet from Kristol this Valentines Day, it is very clear that Kristol should indeed be considered our opponent.

So it can be concluded that Bill Kristol would prefer the country to continue being run by the "deep state" rather than a representative of the people, which Donald Trump who ran thinking of the "forgotten man" and spoke at his inaugural of giving the power back to the people.

There you have it! Kristol says keep the power in the control of the global elite rather than having it reside with the people. #Trouble.

But famed Twitter pundit Mike Cernovich has a more disturbing thought:

Cernovich worries Trump's life may be in danger, and it pains me to say I find that concern reasonable.

Folks, we are in for the fight of our lives.

Donald Trump is fighting the Democrats, the progressive left, the progressives in GOP, neocons of both parties, globalists, the establishment, the mainstream media and former president Obama's army of chaotic community agitators masquerading as organizers.

And this is only in our nation!

Then there are all the swarming foreign opponents.

Given what I have been witnessing, I am not sure which is more formidable.

But what I do know is those of us who supported Donald Trump had better have our feet firmly placed, for we will sooner than later be tasked with standing in the fire with him.

Impeach. It Is Past Time

The Republican Party has seemingly always been involved in an internal struggle between the moderate elite ruling class and the conservative wing.  You may not recall, what with the conservative Reagan economic revolution and landslide victories, the even The Great Communicator was fought tooth and nail by the moderate GOP of the day.

Same story, different day, only, like our nation, the divide has greatly expanded.

A great example of this can be found by a retrospective examination of the recent GOP primary runoff in Mississippi. The extraordinary lengths the GOP establishment undertook to defeat tea party conservative candidate Chris McDaniel and push near comatose Thad Cochran to victory was nothing short of despicable.

It is noted the GOP establishment will sadly go after conservatives with lethal weaponry, but in the fight against big government progressives, legitimate winning strategies and tools for victory are found to be perhaps offending and are left on the table.  This is not by happenstance, because in far too many instances, the GOP establishment and the Progressive Democrats are on the same squad; the big government elite, America's ruling class.

The actions undertaken by the Obama administration on the border, at a number of levels, are lawless and a violation of our Constitution. The Cloward-Piven Strategy, thoroughly covered here on the blog, is being implemented with full speed with America's eyes wide open, and I am frankly amazed folks are not marching with pitch forks.  As Sen. Jeff Sessions, R:AL, pointed out in a letter to Congress; the situation is dire and could well "threatens the foundations of our Constitutional Republic".  Boy howdy, is he correct.  In more ways than one, we are in a Constitutional crisis.

Sarah Palin

With this in mind, Sarah Palin has had enough, and said it is time to impeach President Obama.

President Obama’s rewarding of lawlessness, including his own, is the foundational problem here. It’s not going to get better, and in fact irreparable harm can be done in this lame-duck term as he continues to make up his own laws as he goes along, and, mark my words, will next meddle in the U.S. Court System with appointments that will forever change the basic interpretation of our Constitution’s role in protecting our rights.

It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.

The many impeachable offenses of Barack Obama can no longer be ignored. If after all this he’s not impeachable, then no one is.

Palin did not mince words, and given the peril Uncle Sam is in, it is not time for to be unclear. Given the laundry list of impeachable offenses, including the IRS scandal and weapon running, the border is in fact the transformation of America as we know it and is in violation of immigration laws.

You would think that the moderate Democrats and most every Republican would be in agreement with Palin, as adhering the law and protect our sovereignty are integral duties of our President.

But you would be wrong.

Very few, if any Democrats, are voicing concern.  Perhaps Rep. Henry Cuellar, D:TX, who previously proposed legislation allowing Obama to seek a third term, has been most vocal on the left. Most of the administration Obamabots are attacking her, most notably Attorney General Eric Holder, who should be arrested.

 But Palin is also met with resistance by the GOP establishment, with ABC News noting seven who disagree with her.  The list includes the weakness known as Speaker Boehner, progressive John McCain and pundit Bill Kristol, who has been batting about.375 in his political assessments of late.

Pat Buchanan

Perhaps three of the most respected voices, who although noting appropriate grounds, opposing Palin in her call to impeach are former VP Dick Cheney, Thomas Sowell and Patrick J. Buchanan.  A bridge too far, claimed the esteemed author, pundit and former presidential candidate. There are significant differences now than the nation faced with Richard Nixon noted Buchanan, public will the most significant.

"Republicans should drop the talk of impeachment. For the GOP would gain nothing and risk everything if the people began to take seriously their threats to do to Barack Obama what Newt Gingrich’s House did to Bill Clinton".

Pat Buchanan is absolutely correct if your objective is for the GOP to win the most seats possible in the House and Senate.  Thomas Sowell, a brilliant economist and author, summarized essentially the same premise put forth by Buchanan in an Investors Business Daily editorial piece.

Finally, it appears Obama is getting hit in the polls and for the GOP to control the House and Senate would be more effective in controlling Obama than an effort to formally impeach stirring up anybody and everybody amongst the citizenry.

Does that matter much anyway, as the GOP has put up little notable resistance to the policies of Obama, outside of a few brave souls, each of which would be considered conservative if not Tea Party?  I think not, as these are the same members of the progressive aforementioned ruling class.

Furthermore, Obama is turning 200 mile an hour laps on The Road We Are Traveling, which is part of the Fabian Socialist Revolution.  Freedom and liberty are burning off faster than exhaust.

With respect to Buchanan, it is Sarah Palin who is once again correct.  While the points made by Buchanan are politically expedient, we are done playing politics.  Our nation is at stake.

It is far time to operate on principle and law.  After all, are we not a nation of laws and not of men?

Obviously, Obama thinks he is the chosen one, the one who dictates the laws, which ones are adhered to and which ones are not.  Our President is wrong, far beyond the law, routinely operating outside of the Constitution and arrogantly out of line. The actions he is engaged in, particularly on the border which is placing the sovereignty of nation jeopardy, must be stopped.

Surely, there will be a political price.  However, no matter the price, our citizenry must force our elected officials to conduct themselves within the laws of our nation.  If they fail to govern by the laws and principles and consent of the governed, they must be removed.

It is our elected representatives that undertake that action on our behalf.  As Sarah Palin appropriately said, it is time to impeach.

A Libertarian Leaning

Much is being written about the fracture we are witnessing in the Republican party, resulting in the left being stricken with glee.  In the aftermath of two losing presidential elections, both closer than publicly thought but losses none the less, the reasons for division in the GOP are seemingly appropriate.

Much more so than you may know.

Observing the fisticuffs with a box of popcorn from their box seats, left wing organizations, political players and their media arms are engaging in the fray attempting to distort facts and discredit and diminish the power positions of those who are presumed to potentially be a player on the 2016 stage.

Before admonishing the left for their usual low class misrepresentation of the truth; (remember Mitt Romney being labeled, by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D:NV) no less, as not having paid his taxes); those not entirely engaged must become informed that GOP operatives are acting in concert in this effort.

Although the anticipated rivalry is not currently fluid, the media is presenting America update after update on the battle between New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. This potential battle is illustrative of the major battle taking place behind the scenes, those old guard GOP progressives who welcome big government versus the Libertarian leaning GOP members who embrace the Constitution and seek personal freedoms and limited government.  It may be noted as another chapter in the fight Ronald Reagan had with the Gerald Ford supporters in 1976.

It was my honor and pleasure to cast my first presidential ballot for Ronald Reagan, and I thought his presidency was representative was how things were supposed to be with respect to America's position on the world stage with economic prosperity at home.  But know, I recognize Reagan was an anomaly in history applying an approximate decade long brake on the progressive movement seemingly began with the Wilson administration.

As we look around to day, we can be so proud of our crumbling economy, racial strife, poverty, sinking public school system, crony capitalism and corruption of a welfare and nanny state.  It ain't working properly; obviously.  USA; Detroit Rock City!

Superior interest in continuing their positions of power rather than working tirelessly to put America back on a prosperous track, progressive GOP members are sadly joining left wing organizations, political players and their media arms in efforts to diminish those presumed to be potential 2016 players. 

Just this week, Texas Senator Ted Cruz felt compelled to produce his birth certificate, although anyone who questioned Obama on this subject was considered extreme and not credible.  Funny how that hypocrisy works.

Speaking of that, the government has been shut down numerous times in recent history.  Instead of applauding the very few Republicans who dare to utilize every tool at their disposal to stop Obamacare, with the latest effort being to defund it, progressive GOP members are attacking these brave souls.  Nicole Wallace, who worked for McCain and leaked false and demeaning information about Sarah Palin, is not calling Ted Cruz “intellectually dishonest” in his mission to shut down the government in order to defund Obamacare. Good Grief!

The knives are still out for Sarah Palin by everyone.  This is quite amusing, given she is labeled completely incompetent by most after having been relentlessly smeared by the media and political machines.  GOP pundit Bill Kristol, of the National Review, had to be called on the carpet by Herman Cain today after a condescending slam of Palin by claiming she had a need to rehabilitate herself.

NJ Gov. Chris Christie

Chris Christie (R:NJ), and individual who exhibited such promise as a take no prisoners opponent of unions, engaged in a love fest Breaking the Boardwalk with President Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, elevating the stature of our weak President from a damaged position to a perception of bipartisan strength helping him to defeat Mitt Romney.  Christie rejects that premise, but I don't.  In addition, Christie has gone after Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, although he is perceived as weak on the national stage.

These progressives, and make no mistake Christie is one, fear Governor Palin, but they do not think she will enter the race.  Given that, it is Kentucky Senator Rand Paul who they think can return the party to Reagan principles away from big, bloated government controlled by the ruling class, and the attacks on Paul have begun.

Christie has verbally hit Paul on numerous occasions, referring to Paul as dangerous.  To whom? The status quo of decline, debt and historically high unemployment? 

As reported by Mediate, speaking at a governors forum in Aspen, Colorado, Christie said “This strain of libertarianism that’s going through parties right now and making big headlines I think is a very dangerous thought,” the outspoken Garden State governor said. “You can name any number of people and [Paul is] one of them.”

Dangerous to whom?  America?  No, dangerous to Christie and the members of the ruling class.

Even Rep. Peter King (R:NY) a progressive who sits on numerous committees enabling our decline, went hard after Paul on the illegal surveillance the government is engaged in.  King told CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley that a recent libertarian streak in the GOP threatened to weaken what he said was the party's traditional strength.

Paul, thankfully, is not about to operate from a position of weakness, and has utilized the truth in thwarting the mounting attacks coming his way.

Many Americans are coming to the realization, despite what they are being told, the current economic doldrums are not a new normal, rather an orchestrated decline triggered by a massive transfer of wealth.  Millennials are recognizing what the rest of us know; that our privacy is being violated in stark violation of the Constitution.  In fact, all of our rights have been restricted to some degree under this oppressive government. The progressive mindset of the government compulsion to implement a nanny state due to the distrust of the citizenry to adequately lead their lives.

This thought process does not represent the founding principals and values of our nation.  The impact of the the progressive policies, already felt, are about to be fully comprehended.  When that occurs, the people will be clamoring to turn to individuals who have been steadfast in opposition to the current path, those who offer opportunities of expanding freedom through prosperity.

KY Sen. Rand Paul

With the GOP looking Democrat light, and with disgruntled young Democrats reluctant to embrace the GOP, it may be Constitutional Conservatives from the Libertarian wing Christie referred to that can become a large tent for those who embrace freedom.

The public figures who represent this platform, the ones the progressive ruling class fears, are the individuals currently being attacked with a full complement of Saul Alinsky tactics.  Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee (R:UT)  have their attention, but the one most likely to return the power to the people, Rand Paul, is the most feared.

With very good reason.

Lane Change

In the aftermath of the results of the election, there has been plenty of gloating and commentary floating around.  Much of the discussion has centered around the Republican Party, in efforts to identify and outline the GOP deficiencies.

Seemingly everyone has weighed in. Karl Rove offered excuses and Bill Kristol wants to join Democrats and raise taxes.  Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal came out swinging earlier today.  In my view, most of these folks cannot see the forest for the trees.

A longtime respected friend and associate of mine, and Obama supporter, immediately called for the restoration of the Republican party to national relevance; by casting off the Tea Party.  It should be noted that Mitt Romney, considered by almost everyone a superior candidate to John McCain, got a decidedly lower vote total.  In my analysis of what could have caused this difference, the diagnosis centers around Sarah Palin.

Certainly, the GOP should not take direction from progressive arm chair quarterbacks like my friend.  The conclusions they draw make sense to those aiming to continue the transformation of America, but to those who remain true to the foundations our country was founded upon, they should be strongly rejected.

My aforementioned friend thinks the Tea Party wing of the Republican party, of which Palin is affectionately associated with, is extremist.  Among the tenants I have observed at the numerous Tea Party rallies I have attended are fiscal sanity, limited government, personal accountability and responsibility, opposition to increasing entitlements, the rejection of the Obamacare and the love of God, family and country.  God heavens, if this is extremist, we lost the country a long time ago.

Old school Democrats have lost their party to elite extremist progressives, and out previous post "Knowing Kennedy" points out a significant example with respect to taxes. Regrettably, the post race analysis tells us many GOP folks sat the election out. 

I conclude that this is because the GOP at the top levels is too close to the Democrats in positions.  Mitt Romney is a fine man, and many thought, including me, he ended up being better suited to go up against Obama at this time.  But, that thought process was incorrect.

Contrary to my friends opinion, the GOP needs to further embrace the Tea Party, not distance itself from it.  Free market principles are indeed the best path to prosperity, and it is all-inclusive.  Massive entitlements and controlling governmental influence reduces opportunities and incentives, curbs economic freedoms  and reduces economic output, all the while robbing individuals of their hopes, dreams and dignity.

With Obama winning 51% of the votes, far from a mandate, many on all sides are calling for major GOP compromise, including progressives who masquerade as republicans.  No. 

The GOP must do a much better job of selling ideas and promoting the all inclusive promise and rewards of free enterprise.  When coupled with the tenants considered important by the Tea Party, a platform for prosperity can be embarked upon by all. 

This platform would be similar to the ideas and principles put forth by Ronald Reagan. At this time, with calls for compromise ringing loud, we should stand on our principles. Our differences with the progressives need to presented be in stark contrast; a time for bold colors, no pale pastels.

As Reagan said, on these principles there will be no compromise.



No time for lane changes. Lets get the message clear, and win the day on the battlefield of ideas.
