Reclaim Conservatism

… You’ll fall for anything.  And so it goes in the political arena today with the liberal end of the spectrum pontificating with pie-in-the-sky ideals on poverty, abortion, transfers of wealth, taxing only the rich and other “inartful” dodges of truth!  The wife of the presumptive Democrat nominee Michelle Obama asks today’s college students to go into teaching, nursing, social work and forgo the riches that come with sayyyy a $320 K a year job with the University of Chicago’s Hospital.  Of course, if you do become a teacher or nurse or social worker, the opportunities to buy $600.00 earrings doesn’t come around very often.  In a country where the Democrats have blocked energy exploration and the building of nuclear reactors for decades and even Teddy Kennedy has blocked bills for years and damn sure isn’t going to allow windmills in his back yard we are whining about the cost of … you guessed it, energy!  When Phil Gramm says that we MUST do something positive and that we are NOT in a recession and the facts on the ground say that we are in a slow-down, that there are problems, and we gotta quit the whining, what happens, but a bunch of folk including John McCain friggin WHINE about it. 

Two days ago I regretfully closed down my blog “GM’s Corner” but 4 years of battling was enough and a change is needed.  A time to recharge my batteries.  While I decide what to do with http://gmroper.mu.nu, I’ll continue to be here from time to time to support Jim and Doug’s baby Reclaim Conservatism.   But I can tell you this folks, most citizens of this great country don’t stand for anything unless they are slapped in the face by something like Pearl Harbor or 9/11.  We, collectively, are a bunch of whiners for sure and we are falling for the snake oil salesman like no body’s business.  If we don’t begin to reclaim conservatism, imagine what it will be like for your child and grand child and for damn sure you won’t be around to see it, but for your great grand child and your great-great grandchild.

My first grandchild will be born at the end of this year, I don’t want my grand-baby to grow up in a second rate socialist country.  Join me.  Join Jim and Doug, fight back, and fight back hard.  When some one says raise taxes, remind them that lower taxes have increased government receipts, not the other way around.  When someone says universal health care, remind them that the Soviet Union had that.  When someone says “for the little guy” remind them that 4 of the top five wealthiest Senators are Democrats.  When some one says “culture of corruption” remind them of the current crop running the House and the Senate.

You better get off your collective butts folk and get working, if the liberals take over, there may not be enough to reclaim.
