Hi Folks:

 

Well, over half of the states have voted for both Democratic presidential candidates and Republican candidates. Mr. Romney, a very smart guy, saw the handwriting on the wall and dropped out of the Republican race. He saw that he was being whipsawed by Mr. McCain and Mr. Huckabee. The day after what they called super Tuesday, I told myself that if I was in Romney's position that I would see that the people as a majority didn't want what he had to offer and I'd be resigned to it. It surprised me when I heard that he would continue in the race, and later when he calmed down from the adrenaline rush of competing against McCain and Huckabee and decided to get out, I thoroughly understood. He was by far the best candidate in my estimation, but the American people don't want what he offered, because they don't listen to what the candidates say. Most don't have two thoughts to rub together most of the time anyway. I always remember my Uncle Earl replying to me whenever I would attempt to talk to him about any political issues. He'd say "My grandfather was a Democrat, my father was a Democrat, and I'm a Democrat and I'm voting Democratic!" He'd say that without having any knowledge of any of the issues, any of the long-term implications, (or even short-term one's), and without even listening to what any of them had to say. He was one of my best friends but completely ignorant about political things and he was not willing to talk, or think, about them. I'm certain that many Republicans are the same in their ridged thinking. I've always been a conservative and always registered as an Independent. The reason for being an Independent was that not so many years ago, both the Democratic and Republican Party had their Liberals, Moderates and Conservatives. Now it's mostly Democrats who are Liberal. Almost any Conservative will be a Republican. The so-called Moderates don't really know what they are...they pick and choose among various ideas of both parties. In my opinion, the Republican Party is turning into a party that should be called the Republican /Moderate Party as the Liberal or Conservative leaning Republicans far outnumber any number of true conservatives in the party. There are some freedom loving folks who register and vote as Libertarians in that small party. They for the most part would be conservative in most of their thinking although far-right. Is there any chance to change any of this party idealogy?

 

I always listen to the Savage Nation as often as possible because though Mike may rant and rave he is a true patriot and a very smart thinker. The day after super Tuesday he mentioned creating a new Nationalist Party. Now I haven't heard anything about that idea since that day and I think he has changed his tune since, but I think this may be the most opportune time to turn the tide in our current political parties (if we have time! see bottom*). We know that McCain will get the Republican Nomination and probably the Clinton's will probably squeak thru for the Democrats though she is slightly behind at this time in the count (we know of the power the Clinton political machine has and how they will use any means and go to any lengths to win - if you don't believe me watch what's coming up if she stays behind). There is probably no chance that McCain or the Republicans will win this election after what George W. Bush has done to this country with his refusal to secure our borders, his refusal to halt the frenzied government spending and the way he is going to be leaving economy in a bankrupt state. McCain would be much the same as Bush has been, so as many Conservatives whether Republican, Libertarian, or Independents like myself can hardly look at ourselves in the mirror while thinking of voting for John McCain. Many of us won't vote at all, or will vote for a Democrat, or vote for a lesser party candidate with no chance of winning, so now is the time to start building a true conservative party with candidates that are not kooks and who believe in conservative values.

There's more but read the next paragraph for more explanation on these comments.

 

 

Now here's the story behind a lot of these Federal Depts. If we were to abolish the Dept. of Education or/and the IRS or/and some of the Intelligence organizations, and many others like the Bureau of Land Management, Dept. of the Forest Service, etc. Let the states manage their own land and forests. The Federal Government is not supposed to be in business for itself. It was only created to tie us all together and defend us not to compete with private business or control us. Our economy would probably collapse if these jobs were abolished. We know that every time the unemployment index has risen for any long period of time the government has created some more government jobs. For example in California they created an After School Program for inner city kids. Well, then every school in the state wanted that money so they could purchase more for their school. Everybody wins there, the school gets money that can be converted to not only the after school program but for much questionable classroom supplies also. Only a complete audit would be able to expose some of this and that doesn't happen often. Kids get to stay at school longer and they get more government indoctrination each day. More payroll to be taxed by the Feds and the State. The program was important to inner city kids but the program in rural settings is simply pork. Who is getting porked or is that poked? The citizens who pay taxes and don't even have children in school are the losers every time. Now if a large organization with the power of the IRS was really threatened it would probably be impossible to control them. Talk about McCain/Kennedy illegal amnesty, we'd have to have a National IRS Tax amnesty in order to attempt to neutralize all the power they have over us and our legislators. Wouldn't that be some struggle!! Same with those other agencies when you try to un-create jobs. But something must be done and we need people who have a different far-reaching vision, from our Liberal Americans, in order to have a chance.

 

* I say now is the time to start the foundation of a Nationalist Party to combat the middle and the far left in this country. There's one other thing also. I've been watching the History Channel on TV some. They have been talking about the many prophecies from the past. Most of them end in 2012. Nobody seems to know why they stop there, but they do so. Could it be that by the time the Democrats or McCain the supposed Republican get through their first term in office that they will have created a world war? Will us drawing out of Iraq and no doubt Afghanistan also prove us to be so weak that we will be attached even more by terrorists? Maybe to the point that we will need to retaliate by using nuclear weapons for defense? Will Russia become another super power through the vacuum created by our retreat and/or our economic defeat here create enough of a weakness that China will attempt a takeover of our country or a country we have ties with, maybe Formosa? Nobody really knows what will happen, but it's pretty certain that those prophecy's stopping at 2012 means something. Maybe some of us will find out what it means to let the Liberals control our country.

 

Very depressing stuff isn't it? Catch you later.....maybe
