GOP Ego-nomics


A couple of months ago, a national controversy erupted when it was suggested by Democratic operative James Carville that the leader of the Republican party was Rush Limbaugh. The message was foolishly countered by RNC Chairman Michael Steele who dismissed Rush as "an entertainer". The debate continues within the party as to who the leader of the party is. The party is indeed out of sync with the trouncing it received in the last two elections. The hard core conservative crowd is at odds with the "bigger tent" wing who feel as though the party needs to be more "inclusive"-which to me means compromising. I have an idea on who the spokes person should be: Republicans. The party can and should come to a consensus and promote a unified message-when the party nominates its candidate for 2012, he or she will become the face of the party and sell that message to the American people. I would like to see "old School" conservatives like former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich play a major role in re-focusing the party. Younger conservatives need to be reminded of what can happen when the party actually sticks to it's conservative ideals.

The Gingrich Republicans-who ushered in the 'contract with America'-a document which promised smaller government through fiscal responsibility, lower taxes and welfare reform. The 104th congress- which balanced the budget and controlled congress for 12 years- was the last Republican congress that behaved fiscally responsible. The silly debates about Rush or Steele should be tossed to the side. It does nothing more than delight the Democrats and the mainstream media. Steele and Limbaugh should understand their roles, there is room for both in the conservative comeback. Love Rush or hate him, he's a true Reagan conservative. Thank god that someone still knows what that is.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
