The patriotic premises of liberals and the lies they tell

Did you know that children who attend American Independence Day celebrations are more likely to vote Republican (gasp!) when they grow up?

Don’t tell the Obama regime, otherwise they might concoct a scheme to ban the celebration altogether.

Oops! Too late: the media arm of the Obama regime has already posted the story.

It’s true. Well, almost… Not really. ABC News admits that even the study’s co-author, David Yanagizawa-Drott of Harvard University can’t match up the thesis with the facts. Not to worry folks; like the Christmas stories that proclaim Jesus wasn’t really born on Dec. 25th or that what he said and did can’t be authenticated, this is just another attempt by the anti-American media to belittle you for waving your American flags and celebrating the moral convictions of those who risked life and livelihoods to declare themselves and others free and independent from the tyranny of King George by signing the Declaration of Independence.

According to the story’s author:

One thing not addressed in the report is that nearly every kid in America attends Fourth of July celebrations, but the Republican Party is a minority party.

Minority party? So what’s the problem? If most kids grow up to be Democrats who cares?

Let’s apply a little Philosophy 101 here… If there are fewer registered Republicans in America then certainly the premise must be that there are more registered Democrats.

US voter registration in 2004.

The 2004 census statistics even bear this out. So, if nearly ever kid in America attends an Independence Day celebration in the United States as declared in the story, simply philosophy would suggest that celebrating Independence Day would make one more likely to be Democrat than Republican, even though ABC News declared the exact opposite?

Halfway through the story ABC News printed this joke: “Calls to Democratic officials were not returned because they had left their offices early to celebrate the Fourth of July.”

Really? How did the author of the story know they were out celebrating Independence Day? Come on now: George Stephanoloulos works for ABC News and is one of the Democrat Party’s biggest apologists around! Isn’t he one of the author’s colleagues? Even if he was reluctant to make up a quote I’m sure he could find someone out there to make up some lies about Republicans and Independence Day.

Of course that isn’t why they printed the paragraph. For Liberals, the time off for patriotic or religious holidays has nothing to do with celebrating the memory of the holiday. You don’t believe for a moment that Liberals actually go out and celebrate Independence Day, Christmas, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving or Easter for the rememberances that they are? That’s not the purpose of a holiday for these folks. The purpose of a national holiday for these people is just another paid vacation on the taxpayer’s dime.

As an aside, I thought that children weren’t affected by the things they watched, did or played? We’re always told that the violent video games kids play are perfectly harmless, that they don’t lead kids to violent tendencies, or that the music they listen to doesn’t encourage them to act out in ways that are counter to the morals of a good and just society.

So what’s the worry Mr. and Ms. Liberal? These kids at the Independence Day ceremonies will likely continue the practice of drinking the kool aid you serve up to their older brothers and sisters in college and continue to vote with the premise that government is good, politicians are the only people in America who have your best interests at heart and that freedom and liberty are the archaic, evil and racist outcomes of a bunch of hooligans who dared to break away from the theocratic and despotic regime of King George.

When did American exceptionalism become so offensive?

Sen. John McCain

Poor John McCain: he must really be feeling irrelevant in his advanced age, what with real conservatives and Tea Party folks commanding more respect from more Americans than the senior Senator from Arizona.

Not to disrespect Mr. McCain’s service to the United States as a Naval officer, nor to diminish his time as a prisoner of war, but isn’t it a bit ironic that a man who suffered physical harm at a time when traitors such as Hanoi Jane were openly and actively criticizing his service to America now seems to be slinging the same kind of propaganda just two years after he failed miserably to promote American exceptionalism and conservatism when America needed him the most?

Of course McCain’s criticism of Republicans fits well with the template created by the propaganda arm of the American government, otherwise known as the American media. That’s why they chose him to be the Republican nominee in 2008, and that’s why they still love him.

So McCain is worried that America not repeat the lessons of the 1930′s, where the United States stood by while the National Socialist Party in Germany rose to power and exterminated millions of people based solely on their religion. Does that mean we need to be concerned about the ascension to power of Islamic extremists in the Middle East, or should we wait until after they build the ovens and force Sharia Law upon the rest of the world?

Maybe Senator McCain forgot that little part of history that records which political party was in power in the United States and stood idly by during that period of time.

I had to laugh at the article by the “American Pravda” where the authors (no longer are our media workers “reporters”) suggested that of all the GOP candidates currently announced, only former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney agrees with the Obama regime that we need to “bring our troops home as soon as we possibly can.” Then again nobody every accused Mr. Romney of being a conservative. I wonder if when Romney speaks McCain’s mouth moves, or vice versa?

It’s comforting to know that Sen. McCain is so concerned that America not become an isolationist nation or that the GOP become an isolationist party that helping Obama out politically has become his stated purpose in life. Thanks Mr. McCain, but we already knew that you preferred Obama to yourself as President!

When did American victory and success become so offensive to our elected leaders that they have to actively seek the political destruction of those trying to fix America’s problems? I’ll bet that’s a question Ronald Reagan would more likely be apt to ponder.

My letter to Speaker Boehner

Image by DonkeyHotey via Flickr

The following is a copy of the e-mail I was encouraged to send to House Speaker John Boehner.

I am completely disgusted with the GOP and its policy of giving into the Democrats every time they whimper, whine or threaten.

While the enemy does always get a vote in war, the objective is to always work to veto that vote by utterly annihilating the enemy! To be perfectly clear, the Democrats and anyone else who stands in the way of freedom, liberty and doing what’s best for the United States of America is an enemy, even if they call themselves Republican!

I then provided a link to my blog post “Democrats, the media and their terrorist agenda.“

Democrats, the media and their terrorist agenda

America has an avowed policy against negotiating with terrorists, particularly when those terrorists are holding hostages. Or at least that’s what we’re told.

It certainly makes sense politically and militarily. If your enemy knows that all he needs to do is take something of value that you possess, then wait until you give in to his demands, the enemy has won without firing a shot; He owns you.

Why then do the Republicans continue to “reach across the aisle” and negotiate with Democrats while the American public is being held hostage to high unemployment, high gas prices and high taxes? What is it about the mainstream media that makes the Republicans like Charlie Brown agreeing to let Lucy hold the football?

For the last several days Rush Limbaugh has been talking about how the GOP gave into the Democrats on a new continuing resolution, rather than live up to their promise to the American voters to cut $100 billion from the federal budget and further control government spending. Limbaugh, however, has been arguing that the mess America is in hasn’t happened overnight and won’t be cured by a single victory by the Republicans.

Whatever! That’s not the point.

The point, and I’ve been waiting for Rush to articulate this, is that the American taxpayer is being held hostage by Democrats, the media and their shared policies. These terrorists learned back in 1995 that their most successful weapon isn’t one that blows things up or tears flesh, but a boogeyman called “government shutdown.” You could hear it in House Speaker John Boehner’s voice when he promised that he would not shut down the government because the GOP and Democrats could not agree on a new continuing resolution to fund the government for another week or so.

Never mind the fact that when the Democrats controlled all three branches of the government that they never put forth an annual budget for the country; never mind the fact that Americans in large numbers told the Democrats last November to pound sand, never mind the fact that Obama promised to halve the national deficit within his first term, but has instead increased it more in two years than the total deficit amassed in the previous 200-plus years of American history!

This government shutdown boogeyman really has two faces. The other face is the one the GOP wants to believe will smile favorably upon them if they just say the right things. It’s sort of like Charlie Brown agreeing for the umpteenth time to let Lucy hold the football while he tries to kick it. Lucy will never let Charlie Brown kick the football and the media will never truthfully report that Democrat policies are the very reason why America’s actually unemployment is well over 10% and that Obama’s policies are why gasoline prices have surpassed $4 and are likely on their way to $6 by the end of the year.

Like the foreign terrorists who hold American citizens hostage, the media and the Democrats hold the American taxpayer hostage via our elected representatives, who we believed when they said prior to the November 2010 election would seriously cut federal government spending and the overall size of government. When the GOP leadership agreed the other day to avoid a government shutdown by cutting a paltry $38 billion from government spending, some of which had already been agreed to in previous negotiations, it was sort of like the American family deciding that while their expenses are way out of line with their income and the credit cards are all maxed out, to skip Starbucks once a week when the real solution to their overspending will require much more drastic cuts and a serious attitude adjustment.

 

The Obama Reich Ministry exposed?

Here’s some frightening stuff — especially for us conservative Facebook junkies — that would make Joseph Goebbels jump for joy.

Examiner.com is reporting that the US Government — you know, the criminals we employ to do little things like “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty,” are engaged in a propaganda mission against their subjects (that would be you and me, boys and girls!).

While some are claiming this story to be totally bogus, it’s still certainly plausible, given the nature and practices of the regime currently occupying the White House to employ such tactics against American citizens.

An erie comparison or careful propaganda?

Watch yourselves. If nothing else this story is making me a bit skeptical of Facebook. Then again, could that be part of the propaganda ploy of Obama’s Reich Ministry? Should we start whispering to only our most trusted and closest friends?

Conservatives can’t win playing prevent defense

If ever there were something I could be jealous that I didn’t think of first, this could be it.

The thesis that Conservatives are good at complaining about Liberal policies while even fewer of them can actually articulate conservatism, has not been lost on my Conservative friend here.

It’s time as Conservatives we go on the offensive and set our own agenda, promote what’s right for America and stop playing prevent defense with the Liberals. It’s not enough that we simply prevent them from scoring points: they must be summarily destroyed.

I’m frankly tired of hearing Republicans, for example, say that there might be some good things about the Obama Health Care Bill, and thus, we must somehow find a way to keep some of the less egregious parts of the bill while trying to repeal the rest of it. NO! America didn’t want it, doesn’t want it, and most certainly doesn’t need it!

Isn’t it a little late for that?

NOW they want to know! Is there any more poignant example of the dangerous irrelevance that is the American Mainstream Media?

McCain protests like a Liberal

Sen. John McCain does himself a great disservice when he protests accusations that he’s more of a Liberal than a Conservative. While his party affiliation says he’s a Republican it’s no secret that there’s a large chasm between his core beliefs and that of a true Conservative.

It’s offensive when politicians try to convince us of something that they’re not. I once had this experience with a Republican state senator in California when, as a newspaper reporter, I pinned him down on his votes to raise taxes via something called the Vehicle License Fee. His answers to my questions sounded an awful lot like Sen. McCain’s protests covered by the Yuma Sun, or Nancy Pelosi’s “We have to pass the (health care) bill so you can see what’s in it.”

Hey Senator: we’re not as stupid as you think we are. In fact, we’re a lot smarter than you because we haven’t had our minds reprogrammed by the Washington establishment after decades of insulating ourselves from the people you claim to serve.
