Republican Surrender Fever

Posted by Judson Phillips on November 25, 2012 at 3:02pm in Tea Party Nation Forum

Cowardice is a disease.  It is every contagious.  That is why the military treats cowardice so severely.  We are now seeing surrender fever in full force in Washington.

What is going on?

The Republican Party is in full surrender mode.

First it started with worthless RINO Saxby Chambliss announcing he was abandoning his pledge to the voters who put him in office that he would not raise taxes.  Now equally worthless RINO Lindsay Graham says he is abandoning the pledge too.

He wants to limit deductions for people to $30,000 to $40,000.  This would primarily hit upper earners.  Graham is almost orgasmic at the possibility this could raise $1 trillion dollars.

Isn’t that wonderful.  The Republican want to give the government another trillion dollars of tax dollars to waste.

Here is the obvious question.  When the hell is the government going to cut spending?

The deficit was almost under control in 2007.  It was shrinking and was down to $163 billion for the year.  Now we blow that in a month.

Every year watchdogs identify hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud and duplicated services.  Every year politicians hold news conferences to denounce the waste.  Yet they never do a damn thing about the waste.

Now surrender fever is racing through the Republican ranks in DC.

The Republicans are doing just what the Democrats want.  They are giving them cover.  Republicans are going along with the Democrat tax hikes.  So what are they going to say in 2014 as the Great Obama Depression worsens?

Are the Republicans going to hit the Democrats on taxing, spending and borrowing?  How are they going to do that when they are going along with the Democrat plans?

John Boehner is already negotiating his surrender in the House of Representatives.    He has already bought into bovine scatology that the problem is a revenue problem.  It is not a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.

As the Republicans cave, what are fiscal conservatives to do?

We have some fiscal conservatives left, but they are outnumbered.  John Boehner has made sure that no fiscal conservative is in the top rank of the Republican leadership.   Republicans could threaten to filibuster in the Senate but now they are seeing so many Republicans caving on the issue a filibuster would not matter.

Mitt Romney ran for President and was the first Republican since before Ronald Reagan to run without specifically calling for tax cuts.  Now the Republican Establishment has followed his lead.

Now we are watching the Republican Party not only surrender but self-destruct.

Why should fiscal conservatives continue to support a party that is abandoning its principles and simply becoming one of two big government parties?

We in the Tea Party did not go into the streets in 2009 and put a Republican majority in the House just so they could be big government statists.

If the Republican Party wants to be a big government statist party, then to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, “I’m not leaving the Republican Party.  The Republican Party is leaving me.”

Hating America, even on Thanksgiving

Posted by Judson Phillips on November 22, 2012 at 4:56pm in Tea Party Nation Forum

 

You know the left hates America.  Many on the hard left hate any Americans that dare to disagree with them.  They hate those who love this nation and believe that America is a great nation.

The hard left cannot even accept something as simple as Thanksgiving.

From CNS News:

Forget all that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, today should be a day of fasting and atonement for American “sin.” That’s according to Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Jensen, known for his hard-left politics, also calls Thanksgiving a “white-supremacist holiday.”

Jensen’s opinion piece “No Thanks for Thanksgiving,” appeared on the far-left, Soros-connected website Alternet on Thanksgiving eve. In it, he wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the “European invasion of the Americas.” He went on to compare the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany. “How does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?” he asked.

According to Jensen, Thanksgiving is “at the heart of U.S. myth-building. “But in the United States, this reluctance to acknowledge our original sin -- the genocide of indigenous people -- is of special importance today,” he explained.

Jensen has a long career in both working journalism and academia, including work as a copy editor at The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the St. Petersburg Times, as well as “volunteer editing and writing for the Texas Triangle, Austin (weekly statewide lesbian/gay paper).”

This wasn’t the first time Jensen has bashed America. He does so on a regular basis. Other Alternet pieces include headlines like “The Painful Collapse of Empire: How the ‘American Dream’ and American Exceptionalism Wreck Havoc on the World” or “What White People Fear.”

I am sick of these hard-core leftists.  If you Professor Jensen, do not like America, then get the hell out.  There are a lot of third world hellholes that embrace the philosophy this clown loves.

The other issue is why taxpayers have to support idiots like Jensen.  Unfortunately many universities have become little more than full employment systems for leftists.  All a leftist has to do is get a tenure track position then they can go off and say any outrageous thing about America or real Americans.

If someone like Jensen wants to run his mouth, he has the right to.  The taxpayers do not have to pay his salary.

Obama Immigrant Welfare Welcome Mat Sparks Outrage

By Dave Wedge

Local lawmakers are fuming over an Obama administration policy promoting welfare and EBT benefits for immigrants, with a “welcome” package and promotional website that encourage new arrivals to take advantage of the nation’s generous government largesse.

“I think it’s a complete outrage that we’re encouraging people coming here to get on public assistance,” said state Rep. Shaunna O’Connell, a Taunton Republican who has fought for EBT reform. “We should be encouraging people to be self-sufficient. These programs are rampant with fraud and abuse.”

NYT Once Again Unaware of Terrorists in Gaza

By Washington Free Beacon Staff | November 19, 2012 8:02 pm

The New York Times once again appears to be unaware of the presence of terrorists in the Gaza Strip. In a new report on developments in the latest round of Israel-Hamas violence, the Times says:

On Sunday, Israeli forces attacked two buildings housing local broadcasters and production companies used by foreign outlets. Israeli officials denied targeting journalists, but on Monday Israeli forces again blasted the Al Sharouk block, a multiuse building where many local broadcasters, as well as Sky News of Britain and the channel Al Arabiya, had offices.

That attack, which struck a computer shop on the third floor, sparked a blaze that sent plumes of dark smoke creeping up the sides of the building. Video footage showed clouds of smoke billowing.

The Times leaves out the story’s single most relevant piece of information: Four senior Islamic Jihad terrorists were using the media building as a hideout. They were killed in the Israeli strike.

AP Reporter Demands Answers From State Department Spokeswoman

AP Reporter Demands Answers From State Department Spokeswoman on Administration’s Handling of the Israel-Gaza Conflict: “You’re Staying Silent While People Are Dying”

 

In a rare exchange at the State Department yesterday, Associated Press reporter Matthew Lee pushed State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland on the agency’s approach to handling the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Lee questioned Nuland, “You say that it would not be helpful for you to discuss any of your conversations, that quiet diplomacy is the way to deescalate that. Well, you’ve been doing your quiet diplomacy now for almost a week. How’s is going so far?”

Nuland began to respond “we are working hard…” but Lee interjected, “Hasn’t it occurred to anybody that maybe being less quiet might get more results? You know, squeaky wheel gets grease, that kind of thing. (Nuland begins to speak, but is interrupted again) You’re staying silent while people are dying, left and right.”

“Matt, we are being far from silent. The president…” she attempted once more. Lee pressed, “You’re not telling us anything about what you’re … When the Turks come out, when the leaders of Turkey come out and say that Israel is engaged in acts of terrorism, and you refuse to say that you don’t agree with that, or maybe you do agree with it, that’s being silent.”

Divorce Agreement

Subject: USA divorce agreement

Since
we are not going to get gasoline back to $1.50 per gallon and coffee to $2.00 per pound maybe this would be a solution we could live with.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT -- This is so incredibly well-put, and I can hardly believe it's by a young person, a student!! Whatever he runs for, I'll vote for him!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et. al.:

We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course. 

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:

1. Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides had such distinct and disparate tastes.

2. We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.

3. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.

4. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.

5. We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.

6. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.

7. We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.

8. You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless home boys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.

9. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.

10. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .

11. You can make peace with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.

12. You can have the peace-niks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

13. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.

14. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.

15. We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

16. You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors..

17. We'll continue to believe healthcare is an earned luxury and not a right.

18. We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The
National Anthem."

19. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like
to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya," or "We Are the
World".

20. We'll practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.

21. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our constitution and our flag.

22. Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P.S.: Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand,
Jane Fonda, George Clooney, Jesse Jackson, Rosanne Barr and Whoopi Goldberg with you. You can start your own Congress with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Al Franken, Maxine Waters, and Barney Frank.

You can have Obama to head your Socialist
government and anoint him with the title "Dearest Leader".

P.S.S..: And you won't have to "Press 1 for English" when you call
our country.  Forward this every time you get it! Let's keep this going; maybe some of it will start sinking in!

**If you can't stand behind our Military, Please feel free to
stand in front of them! **

Could we add Joy Behar to the list to go with Whoopi, although I would be willing to keep Whoopi in exchange for Joy!

Thoughts on Politics and recent election

To the Republicans:

I hear many people say that now the Republican party should compromise their views by moving to the middle or the left;  to accept abortion and paying for free contraception;  to accept tax increases and estate taxes ; to accept the amnesty of millions of illegal immigrants.    There are many more examples but here is what I have to say about this:

IF the Republicans become like the Liberals then there would not be any reason to vote for them.  If they compromise their beliefs and values then they do not have any beliefs and values. 

 

---

The vast majority of the Jewish voters in this country voted for Hussein Obama – the candidate least likely to support Israel, and most likely to hurt Israel instead of helping them.   You folks need to sit down and shut up you will get what you deserve.

---

And Christians, so-called strong faithful Christians you folks say you believe in the 10 commandments and “Thou Shalt NOT Kill” and yet you vote for the party (man) who supports abortion and free abortions at that.   They believe in late term abortions where the baby is actually born alive but is held in the womb and has it’s brains sucked out – this is murder people!

By the way this IS a Christian nation, I don’t care what you Liberals say.    You vote to take God out of your platform then go to church on Sunday.    Stop pretending and just stay home on Sunday.

Future Republican Leaders

Posted by Judson Phillips on November 12, 2012 at 11:28am in Tea Party Nation Forum

 

As the Republican Party looks for future leaders, they do not have to look far for a new crowd of young Republicans who are quite willing to pick up John Boehner’s freshly laundered white flag of surrender and fly it high for all to see.

Who are these future Republican leaders and what have they done?

The College Republicans at Fordham University decided they were going to use some of their university funding to invite Ann Coulter to speak.   Ann Coulter is acerbic, controversial and very well known.

When the liberal nitwits in the University leadership found out that Ann Coulter was coming they went into liberal hysteria.   The leftwing University President (which may be a redundant expression) between his wine and cheese and finishing his petition to have Karl Marx declared a Saint, whined that students were encouraged to bring in people with “diverse, sometimes unpopular points of view.”

Really?  If that were the real criteria, Coulter would not cause a problem.   The real problem for liberals is that Coulter is effective.

What did the College Republicans do in the face of liberal tyranny?

They borrowed John Boehner’s freshly laundered white flag of surrender.  They surrendered so fast; they now qualify for honorary membership in the French Army.

The College Republicans immediately cancelled Coulter’s appearance and put out an email begging for “forgiveness” from Fordham University.  Fordham’s left wing University President immediately did high fives with the statute of Joseph Stalin he keeps in his office and issued a statement where he exulted in the fact a conservative had been kept away from the campus.

Anyone want to bet there is no such controversy the next time a group at Fordham invites a far left nut to speak on campus?

The Fordham College Republicans have shone that they have every talent necessary to become leaders in the Republican Party.  They surrender early and often to the left.

In 1980, conservative students at Dartmouth, tired of the liberal establishment on campus founded the Dartmouth Review.  The Review was the first of a series of conservative student papers that were founded during the 80’s on university campuses.   They faced threats, vandalism, lawsuits and retaliation from leftist professors and university administrators.

Those students stood for their beliefs and they made history.

Unlike the Fordham students, they stood for their beliefs.

Fortunately for the Fordham College Republicans, they have a great future as leaders of the Republican Party as they have learned early how to surrender gracefully to liberals.

The GOP Establishment

The Establishment Strikes Back.

• Posted by Judson Phillips on November 11, 2012 at 3:41pm in Tea Party Nation

It has been five days since the election.  It has been five days since Mitt Romney lost and the establishment started its narrative.  It is also starting to push the Republican Party and conservatives down a path that will result in another defeat in 2016, if we let them.

What are they doing and how do we stop them?

The establishment has hit the ground running trying to pin the blame for the defeat of Mitt Romney and the disastrous Senate races on the Tea Party and on conservatism.

Peggy Noonan, the Doyenne of RINOs, made the talk show circuit again to explain that once again, all of the problems in the world and the Republican Party are conservatives’ fault.

She breathlessly thanked the Tea Party for what it did in 2010 and for not splitting from the GOP, then said the Tea Party should not be the brand of the GOP.

Really?

This coming from the woman who endorsed Barack Obama in 2008?

And of course, her advice is the same as the other RINOs.  We should “moderate”.

Mitt Romney was the most moderate Republican we have ever had run for President.  Short of changing the symbol of the GOP to a Jackass, how could you get any more moderate?

Noonan’s great claim to fame is that she was, for a period of time, a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan.   The left wing media loves her because she will always come on, claim to be a conservative Republican, then proceed to announce to the world that conservatives are wrong and the only way for the Republicans to get ahead is to become just like the Democrats.

Lest she be alone, Bill Kristol was out on Sunday demanding the Republican Party abandon its core principles.  Kristol hit Fox News and bravely surrendered to Barack Obama and the Democrats by announcing that the Republicans should go along with raising taxes on millionaires.

You have to give Barack Obama and the Democrats credit.  They did a good job of demonizing the so-called “rich” during the campaign.  Obama tries to sound reasonable by saying we want millionaires to pay a little more. After all, they “can afford it”.

One thing the Republicans should be excoriated for is the fact that Republicans do not explain their beliefs well.

Sound bites sell.  Liberals excel at sound bites.  One of the reasons they do is if you get beyond the sound bite, you realize how bad their ideas are.

Republicans are fighting against a guy whose message is “free stuff”.  Republicans have to explain that tax cuts put money in the pocket of the average citizen.  The GOP is giving them something.

The GOP wants people to keep the money they have worked hard to earn.  The GOP wants businesses to keep more of their money so they can hire more people.

The problem is spending.  Americans understand this.  Republicans are not talking about this. Out of control government spending is driving the economy into the ground.  Out of control government spending is putting Americans out of work.  Fraudulent and wasteful government spending costs America hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

Tax increases are a mask.  Tax increases never work.  Just look at France.  Francois Hollande raised taxes on the “rich” to 75%.  The rich fled France.  In Maryland, six years ago, they imposed a millionaire’s tax.  What happened?   The millionaires fled Maryland.

When RINOs like Bill Kristol embrace Obama’s mantra of raising taxes, we lose.

The problem is not that we have a bad policy.  We have great ideas and, unlike liberal ideas, ours work.  Our messaging is the problem.  We need to get out and explain our ideas so that Tea Party ideas prevail.

We need to make sure that the ideas of freedom and liberty win.  The last thing we need to do is to listen to the RINOs that were responsible for the devastating losses of 2012.
