There is a lot of talk out there about the Conservatives being too vocal now that Barack Obama is our President. I couldn't agree more.
What's even more true is that in addition to the vocal outrage at our liberal President's uncontrolled spending – we've been fairly critical of Congress and by that I mean both Republicans as well as Democrats.
As a Conservative in America, I complete agree with writers who claim the Republicans are a lost party. However, unlike the liberal writers who lump Conservatives in with Republicans, I would argue that the Conservatives in America actually stand for something and the Republicans – well, they're better off labeled Democrats. It is the Conservatives of America that will eventually come to be known as the Republican party.
George W. Bush was about as fiscally irresponsible as any other President. Economics are not cut and dry and President's often are forced to shoulder different burdens, but ultimately in the end – they are forced to live with what they've accomplished and GWB was a fiscal mess.
McCain was a fiscal mess in the making as well. As the Republican candidate for President that ran against Obama we can at least say McCain was honest when he spoke to the American people and said he'd tax them. Obama went on night after night after night with the “hope and change” fiasco claiming he wouldn't tax you here, wouldn't tax you there – and in the end – he's going to tax you everywhere. He's not going to just lay it on the rich – everyone will feel the wrath of his over spending, especially the future generations.
Republicans used to be the party of responsibility. They represented a party of people dedicated to the law, a party that did not allow corruption to taint its ideology and knew that moving to the left would only allow for corruption and eventually to a undesired change in government.
However, the Republican party did just that. Pressured by media, the horror of being called out on anti-Affirmative Action regulation and the emergence of a need for “complete” political correctness in this Country, the Republicans swayed to the left. Then they fell right into the trap of the Progressives who used this shift to exploit the party.
Our country is not in the tank because of Conservatives. Our Nation is in the tank because of Progressives, Democrats and Republicans all converging into one great big pile of government. People like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd would have been the target of podium speech after speech of true Republicans who would have pointed out the blatant lies of the Democratic party and the cover-up of Frannie Mae and Freddie Mac by Frank (D-MA). The Republicans in Congress that followed without word or without one single demand for follow-up were not at all examples of the Republican party....they represented the Republican ideology in name plate only.. In addition to Frank, true Republicans would have also allowed Chris Dodd (D-CT) to seal his political coffin with his sweet heart mortgage deals and not for one second would they have even remotely thought of assuming responsibility for the current economic situation. If the backbone of the Republican party had not swayed to the left – it would never have been in the position it is today. We would not be a nation full of fiscally irresponsible politicians, we would have voted them out 3 elections ago.
Conservatives have always gotten a bad wrap. They speak their minds, they point out the decline of morality in our society, they point out the collapse of the American Dream and the slide into tyranny and all the while – they are correct, yet vilified. Conservatives act more like Republicans of the past than anything else. We correctly go on record and state it was the ramifications of repealing the Glass – Steagall Act (Clinton) and the Community Reinvestment Act (Carter) and the failure of the Republican party to stand against the Progressives that caused our current economic situation. Republicans in Congress (and the White House) buckled to the pressure of the media and the theory we must always do something for the greater good. Government put pressure on financial institutions to write bad loans and the result of that “great idea” that everyone should own a home was one enormous mess.
When Republicans failed to loudly denounce the actions of the governments control over deregulation, they failed at being fiscally responsible which was, at one time a corner stone of the party. Before long – we were (are) in the worst financial crisis since the great depression and everyone is pointing a finger at the person beside them.
Had Republicans held true to their base, they would have pointed out the obvious: If you use welfare as income in determining the qualifications a person has for a mortgage, you will write bad loans. If you allow banks who are the entities that grant the credit and allow the lending to invest other people's money into risky securities, enormous losses will eventually happen and those losses (as they came to do) would threaten the moral and ethical well being of the institutions and would bring about abuse. You want to hate the CEO's of this Country? Fine, but blame the government for allowing it to go as far as it did and also recognize it was probably done on purpose to put government in control of it all.
Progressives constantly argue the greater good argument or that the government has a responsibility to take care of its citizenship. However, in reality Progressives always end up harming the greater good in the end. They argue that they represent GOOD change when in reality, despite denouncing people such a Stalin, Castro or Chavez, they actually support the exact same BAD change. Play the cards – racism, inequality and speak of the greater good and somehow people will miss that they are being lead into hell. This is why Progressives purposely go after minorities. They promise a greater life and tell of the horrible evil corporations that hold the minorities down. Conservatives believe in the person. Conservatives believe in the core values and ethics of a person. Progressives do not, they repress the people and in the end always end up like the people they so adamantly claim not to be.
It is because of the loss of the true Republican and the emergence of the Progressives that the Conservative is so loud. The loss of the true Republican has allowed the political petri dish of lies to over populate and we are now filled with a Country that has lost its voice in their leaders and as loud as we scream we want it back – the media glorifies the plight of the Progressive only.
Conservatives are leading the REAL change. We are telling the truth. We are not purposely misleading the Nation.
American's need to focus on rebuilding their Nation and doing so starts with the recognition that we do not want an America that emulates the former Soviet Union or the current Cuba or Venezuela. We also need the Republican party to move back to its base and that is not left of center but rather – much more to the right of center where the majority of Americans are. We need to enlighten the youth of America. There is no America in socialism, there is no America in the fiscal irresponsibility of our current President OR his predecessors and that there is no America if we continue to allow the lies of the Progressives dominating Capital Hill and the White House to flourish.
