Liberals just can’t stand black conservatives, black Libertarians, black Republicans and black freedom-lovers! It just blows their little minds and shatters their little fantasies.
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfather Pizza, discusses this phenomena with Fox’s Juan Williams.
Liberals, comedians or not, are only comfortable with blacks and other minorities in their stereotypical societal roles and places, all while accusing conservatives of stereotyping, being racist and not being politically-correct enough. Who’s racist now? Liberals are racist by insisting that blacks must be whiny, wussy, dependent, big-government-lovers, returning to slavery by effectively enslaving us all to the state.
And hey, maybe maximum-3-page bills wouldn’t be such a bad idea afterall!
I remember during the 2008 presidential campaigns – I was surprised and impressed by the grassroots support for Ron Paul. I had never seen such enthusiastic support for a candidate, and that support mostly being ignored by the mass media. He is hated by the liberal and GOP establishments alike, but he may be just the medicine America needs. Only Ron Paul is dead serious about freedom and about the constitution. All others lead the nation astray. Fox News repeated laughs off and/or denies the importance of Ron Paul winning in polls (even their own!). After a while, you’d think they would take him seriously.
If Ron Paul is not nominated by the GOP for 2012, they will be in deep regret. Millions, including myself, will likely vote for Ron Paul anyway, potentially killing any chance of another GOP candidate winning the election. The neo-con types have dominated America for too long. It’s time they and their supporters admit that their time is up and that judgement day is at hand.
I know that I’m more likely to vote if I can do it early. That way, I don’t run the danger of forgetting or being kept from voting by unexpected events in my life on November 2 (work, helping family, pipes broke, etc.). Many states allow early voting in the form of absentee voting. Check for state and local information on this or call your local board of elections. You may be able to vote via a mail-in ballot or vote early on-site.

Let’s make that avalanche happen that George Soros fears! Speaking of Soros, how do you feel about a liberal, socialist big-government European billionaire trying to manipulate U.S. politics?
A Facebook post from a young conservative serious about freedom responds to Republicans’ recent “Pledge to America” and other promises that we real freedom-lovers are hesitant to believe:
“Promises promises. Forgive us Libertarians, libertarian-leaning conservatives, etc. for being skeptical… this song and dance has been done before (granted, without the same publicity).
Maybe I am conflating the GOP leadership and John Q. Republican a bit, but honestly, from what I’ve seen locally, with Republicans and Tea Party folks, they’re still for all the same things they were back when Bush was President (not to mention them being xenophobic as hell and eerily theocratic). Granted, I’ve heard Tea Party’s elsewhere are more “Goldwater-esque” and less focused on extreme social conservatism. But I’ve only heard one out of thousands of Tea Partiers even mention the name “Barry Goldwater”, much less know enough about him to say what they agree or disagree with him on. They all still seem to have some fetish about Reagan, which is the same fetish Republicans have had for years. Not to mention that it’s mostly and over-40 crowd, so you know they won’t stand for any badmouthing of their precious socialistic Social Security and Medicare, which my generation will be getting the hard, unlubricated shaft on.
Honestly though, with all the “Tea Party Candidates”, I’m not impressed, at all. I can overlook a little pandering here & there (at this point, Rand Paul has wore that one out, Mr. NeoCon-lite is going to drag his family name down down down), and I’ll ignore a candidate’s strongly held beliefs that masturbation is evil, or whatever moral high horse they want to get on… but if they’re not going to actively fight against big government, against ruinous foreign interventionism, against socialistic collectivism creeping in everywhere, against the Federal Reserve and Fiat Currency, and support free market economics (REAL free markets, not the neo-Keynesian corporatism and protectionism that both parties love so damn much), then what’s the point in placing one ounce of hope in them?
Yeah, maybe I’m being too harsh, but I believe my skepticism is entirely rational. Don’t get me wrong, I’d LOVE, absolutely LOVE to be pleasantly surprised by these folks, and see the GOP turn into a Goldwater-Conservative party, and/or move significantly back to the ideals of the “Old Right”. Now, I definitely have my issues and problems with the “Old Right”, Paleocons, and Conservatism in general, but if you guys pull off the whole “change the GOP from within” thing, I’ll be the first to eat crow. I just don’t see any rational reason to think that this new batch of Republican “reformers” won’t be any less two-faced or less impotent than the last several batches.”
This movie is coming out October 15, 2010. the movie compares Obama & company’s philosophy with that of Ronald Reagan. Is this conservative’s answer to the skillful, but shamelessly dishonest filmmaking of Michael Moore?
This is why, for the first time in my life, I may vote for a Libertarian or Tea Party presidential candidate the next election instead of a Republican. What are Republicans anymore? Most Republicans nowadays seem to be the great compromisers, only pretending to resist the liberal/socialist agenda. This is also why I would never, ever vote for Mitt Romney specifically:
I will give credit where credit is due, so thanks to the liberal journalist for calling attention to Romney’s betrayal of freedom. During the presidential campaign, I already knew about Romney’s support of socialist healthcare as Governor of Massachusetts, but thanks to some liberal journalists and bloggers, now more are aware.
If Republicans have a candidate as true-to-principles as Ron Paul or someone similar the next round, I’ll probably vote Republican, otherwise I’ll vote Libertarian or Tea Party. Obviously, I’m just one voter, but I am certainly not the only one feeling this way. The GOP needs to change it’s attitude and approach ASAP.
It angers me when Republicans say we don’t need a third party…. well, apparently we do (if nothing else, to keep them in line), and it’s all their fault. I appreciate the idea of banding together in numbers/votes with the side with similar-enough views, but enough is enough, and Republican efforts have not been good enough. I really hope the GOP wakes up fast and reinvents itself overnight, purging itself of those that have helped destroy the party’s image and the nation.
As Judge Napolitano points out, both the Democrats and Republicans have become big government parties. They just have different approaches and agendas. Now that I allow myself to see the reality, Republicans are just bringing about a dominating socialist police state that controls and meddles in every aspect of your life and business a little slower than the Democrats would.
The GOP needs to decide, do they want the votes of the RINOs & Neo-Cons or we Libertarian types? I don’t know which group is the bigger loss or gain, statistically-speaking (for the party and voting numbers), but how about this concept: just do the right thing!
