The Republican Party Has Got To Go (and be replaced)

 

I am one of those who identify closely with the Confederacy and the South when it comes to the "Civil War," or as we prefer to call it, the War for Southern Independence.

So which party do we support?  Not the modern Democrats, who stand for everything we despise.  So the great majority of us vote Republican, the party of the tyrant who invaded us and conquered us so many decades ago.  We don't like Abraham Lincoln but for the sake of party unity we generally keep quiet when other Republicans mouth off about the glories of Lincoln and the Grand Old Party and all its mythical values.  It's depressing to see so many people so ignorant of history, as they praise a monster who ran a reign of terror and replaced our voluntary union with an involuntary one.

However, I think that is coming to an end.  More and more conservatives are seeing the Republican Party for the big government cheerleader it really is, and so many Republicans whose only loyalty is to their seat in Congress and all the perks that go with it.  There is more talk of replacing the Republican Party with something better.  I would love a new conservative party that is not tainted with the stink of Abraham Lincoln.

Donald Trump's Worst Enemy: Himself. Wise Up, Donald!

Donald Trump

I have been supporting Donald Trump's candidacy over all others.  I like how he is bitch-slapping the GOP establishment, the go-along Vichy Republicans who are the willing bitches of the Democratic Party.  However, Trump has done himself no favors lately in making intemperate, tactless remarks against other candidates.

I am not referring to his description of Megyn Kelly as a bimbo -- a stupid remark, but not totally off target.  Kelly is more of an opportunist who would trade conservative principles for media fame and acclaim, and therefore not our friend.  I don't object to his description of Lindsey Graham, the wimpish do-nothing senator from South Carolina, as "a guy who couldn't get a job."  Graham is totally without substance or credibility as either a conservative or a Republican.  Again, not our friend.

However, this week Trump made disparaging remarks about Carly Fiorina's appearance, particularly, her face.  Fiorina didn't deserve that.  This was a "gratuitous insult" -- one that had no purpose, was not a reaction to something Fiorina said or did.  It was a cheap shot.

All "The Donald" accomplished was to make himself look like a boorish, tactless cad.  He wants to be the nominee, yet is supplying the Democrats with enormous ammunition to use against him.  Think of the numerous political ads they will run, quoting Trump's own words, to show him as a thoughtless bully with no sense of decorum or propriety -- or basic manners, for that matter.

So today, at long last, I am reevaluating my support for Donald Trump.  With his big mouth and lack of tact, I am beginning to think he cannot win the presidency.  My advice:  Shut up, Donald.  We know you have big gonads, now show us that you have a brain as well.

Rand Paul Is An ASS

This week Rand Paul, loony son of even loonier father Ron Paul, stated that his party, the Republicans, have been wrong on foreign policy for the past fifty years.  He also stated that the USA created ISIS with our policies.  Paul, whom I shall now refer to as "Wrong Rand," is a paleolibertarian, a strange blend of far right and far left politics.  I have always viewed paleos as political schizophrenics.  On foreign policy they agree with the far left Democrats, who believe our only foreign policy is to never intervene, and when we are attacked, to blame ourselves for "blowback," i.e., some ancient wrong we committed against our innocent enemies that caused simmering hostility toward us, finally exploding into violence.  We should humbly admit our sins, and apologize to our attackers for forcing them to attack us in the first place.

Screw you Rand Paul.  It'll be a cold day in Hell before I ever vote for you, in the primaries or even the general election should you make it that far.

Colin Powell Loves His Epidermis Above All Principles

Surprise, surprise:  so-called "Republican" Colin Powell, who is black, endorsed Barack Obama for reelection.  Colin Powell, it seems, is enamored of ebony epidermis, crazy for colored cuticle.  Either that, or he really loves high gas prices, a sick economy, high joblessness, a deteriorating military, and murdered US ambassadors.

This week John Sununu figured it was the former, saying the only reason "Republican" Colin Powell is supporting Obama for reelection is because both men are black.  Sununu later backtracked on his comment, but his original epidemeric epiphany was correct:  Colin Powell loves his hide more than he loves his pride, is crazy about his skin more than the state were in.  Now Colin Powell is saying "my party is full of racists."  He's right.  The Democrat Party is his party, and it is indeed full of racists....and hypocrites.  He should know, he's one of them.

Colin Powell is supporting Obama's reelection because he is a fellow black, and with the great majority (96%) of blacks supporting Obama for the same reason, Powell feels he must go along.  If Powell does anything less, he will be a pariah to friends and family, most of whom belong to the Black Party first, the Democrat Party second, and the American nation dead last.

Not all blacks support Obama, and we are seeing a growing number of blacks who think with their brains rather than their epidermis.  I have been delighted to see black conservatives on Twitter, denouncing Obama and supporting Romney, sounding very much like any other conservative.  These people are mature adults with real principles and authentic, independent thought.  I welcome them to our movement, and hope their numbers grow.

Unfortunately, and obviously, the race-baiting faux Republican Colin Powell isn't one of them.

Four years ago, Colin Powell made a string of accusations against the Republican Party, along with his recommendations on how to become liberals instead of conservatives.  His comments were asinine then, and are asinine now.  I rebutted him in an article titled Colin Powell, Shut the Hell Up.  Do read it, as it illustrates quite well the lame-assed thinking of this liberal phony.

Todd Akin Still Alive in Missouri Race - Leads McCaskill

A couple of weeks ago, Missouri senate candidate Todd Akin led his Democrat rival by 11 points.  Then there was that gaffe in an interview where he poorly chose his words.  The Democrats saw their chance and broadcast far and wide a false meaning to Akin's comment that he did not intend.

The Republican Party, seeing once again a chance to pull defeat from the jaws of victory, did what lemmings do naturally:  they tried their best to self-destruct.  They joined the Democrats, hysterically screaming for Akin to step down.  In fact, the hysterics on the Right overshadowed those on the Left.  The Dems just sat back and let the GOP do their dirty work for them.  Once again the "Stupid Party" allows the Democrats to play them like a cheap fiddle in a rowdy bar on a Saturday night.  And the Republicans dance to their tune:  "Grab your partner, round and round, dosey doe!"

Akin's gaffe was completely insubstantial.  It does not reflect who he is, what he believes or how he will vote.  As a matter of fact, his voting record as a Republican congressman is solidly conservative.  And, last time I looked, being an expert in female physiology is not a requirement for a senate seat.  Except for the propaganda angle, who really cares?

In spite of the Republicans' attempt to hand the senate seat to the Democrats, Akin still leads in the Missouri senate race, 44 to 43 over Democrat Claire McCaskill.  That lead would be much wider had not the Republican Establishment demanded Akin step down.  The best thing that the GOP could do right now is to SHUT THE HELL UP.  Let the controversy blow over.  We still have more than two months to go until the elections.  That gives Akin time to build on his lead, assuming his own Party is able to extract their heads from their nether regions and get on board.

So my advice to fellow Republicans:

Michelle Malkin - SHUT THE HELL UP

Robert Stacy McCain - SHUT THE HELL UP

Republicans Everywhere - SHUT THE HELL UP

Let Todd Akin overcome this otherwise meaningless controversy and get back on track.

Political Races to Watch on Tuesday

There are three political races that conservatives are watching closely.  They will be decided by the vote this coming Tuesday, November 3rd.  They are:

NY 23rd Congressional Election - The grassroots of the GOP (the conservatives) rejected the liberal candidate that the Party officially endorsed, i.e. Dede Scozzafava.  They instead supported Doug Hoffman, a conservative Republican who is running on the Conservative Party ticket.  Polls showed Hoffman in the lead between the three candidates, which included Bill Owens, the Democrat.  Then Scozzfava dropped out.  Most pundits say this is a good thing for the conservatives and Republicans, because now Hoffman is expected to win handily.  Let's hope so.  If Hoffman wins it will send a clear message to the Republican Party leaders:  NO MORE RINOS.  We want Republican candidates who are true to Republican principles, not rehashed liberals and Democrat-lite, me-too Republicans-In-Name-Only.

Update:  Dan Riehl of Riehl World View tells just how leftwing Scozzafava actually is:  both she and her husband are now supporting Democrat Bill Owens.  Scozzafava's husband is a labor union leader and a dogmatic Democrat.  This is the kind of candidate the New Gingrichs of thw world would foist on us.

New Jersey Gubernatorial Election - Republican Chris Christie is challenging Democrat Governor Jon Corzine in the latter's reelection bid.  Polls show the race to be a dead heat, with Christie at 43% and Corzine at 42%, i.e. too close to call.  An independent third candidate, Dagget, has been dropping in the polls and his supporters appear to be migrating to Christie.  Barack Obama is going to appear in New Jersey to try and drum up support for Corzine; however, this could backfire with Obama's own support plummeting.

If the race is close, conservatives worry about another ACORN style vote-theft or suspicious recounts, like those that elected Al Franken.  A clear victory by Christie would be a boon to the GOP and further evidence of a Republican resurgence.

See also Another Black Conservative's report on a Christie rally that he attended.

Virginia Gubernatorial Election - Republican Bob McDonnell is battling Democrat R. Creigh Deeds for the governorship of Virginia.  McDonnell leads in the polls and is expected to win.  Virginia has been in Democratic hands for the past eight years.

Republicans, Democrats and the Price of Oil

Congress Roy Blunt has released a study showing the effects of policy on oil prices.

Blunt's schedule, is of course, an estimate. Nevertheless, it compares oil prices under Democrat policy against that of Republicans. The results are startling: they show that a price under Democrat policy results in a price of $3.99 a gallon compared to $2.06 under Republican policy.

Powerline has the article and the schedule.

Democrats have defeated every oil-producing bill to come before Congress. When you get outraged at the gas pump, thank the Democrats for your plight.
