Ann Coulter: The Reign of Lame falls mainly on McCain

I thought I was done blogging tonight. I thought I was going to step away from the computer, and relax re-reading a book I haven't read in many years. As I was about to walk away however, this week's article from Ann Coulter came out. Ann is on fire once again. 

I would post it here in it's entirety. However I feel you'll get the effect the best if you follow the link above. I will post a teaser from the article however. 

Indeed, the only good thing about McCain is that he gave us a genuine conservative, Sarah Palin. He's like one of those insects that lives just long enough to reproduce so that the species can survive. That's why a lot of us are referring to Sarah as "The One" these days.

Like Sarah Connor in "The Terminator," Sarah Palin is destined to give birth to a new movement. That's why the Democrats are trying to kill her. And Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved somehow, too. Good Lord, I'm tired. 

And for those of you who wonder what Ann may be up to in the future? Well, she's outlined her plans for you in her article. I loved it, and I hope you enjoy it too. 

Congressman Jeff Flake gets the real message

Congressman Jeff Flake gets the message that the disgust from the Base of the Republican Party is real, and it's based upon principal, and it's not going to be placated easily. 

Hot Air cued me to this story, and I'm going to be honest, and say I've had more than a few disagreements with the commentators at Hot Air. 

From the Washington Post, linked from Hot Air of course. 

Well, we Republicans have just made history. Not the type of history we wanted to make, mind you, but history nonetheless. Not only did we lose the White House but, after losing our House and Senate majorities in 2006, we followed it up last night with even steeper losses in Congress.

In January, Democrats will enjoy lopsided congressional ratios not seen since the 1970s. Let's face it: We Republicans are now, by any reasonable measurement, deep in the political wilderness.

The temptation for Republican members of Congress today will be to assume the role of the post-Watergate Republicans of 1974 and accept minority status as a permanent condition. Indeed, the terrain is more difficult for us now than it was in 1992. Then, Republicanism was still largely defined by the Reagan years. Today the party is defined in the public mind by the Bush presidency. We've got a steep hill to climb.

Much of the backroom maneuvering and media speculation in the coming weeks will focus on identifying new standard-bearers for the party. This is important, and after a second straight drubbing, the House Republican leadership should be replaced. But the far more critical task is determining what standard these new leaders will bear.

Many more Republicans are going to be singing the song over the next few weeks and months. Conservative ideals are popular, and they're historically proven to work. So why did the Republicans abandon those ideals when George W. Bush was elected? That's going to be another series of discussions. The Republicans governed as Democrat Lite. We nominated the leader of the Moderate faction, the often bemoaned Country Club Blue Blood Republicans. 

Even now, these CCBB Republicans are trying to blame Palin, but the facts already established will continue to slam this re-writing of history. Fact, donations increased after she was named as the VP. Fact, grass roots efforts like Team Sarah, got started once she was named. Fact, the base which had looked like they were attending a wake became energized finally. 

This election is a lesson. One which we must learn. Voters are not going to turn out to elect a Moderate ever again. Even if the opponent is a true blue Socialist, like Obama, a Moderate can't win, so when we read about how the Moderate Republican is the most electable in the next election, ignore the NY Times. They've been wrong so many times it's not even funny.

Conservative ideals were popular. California which went for Obama, also passed Proposition 8, which banned the Gay Marriage court decision. You can't pretend that California is anything approaching Conservative in their thoughts, yet the clearly stated Conservative ideal passed easily.

Conservative ideals are popular, as proven in California. Conservative principals are demonstrated to work. The Socialist ideals put forth by Obama will tear the Democrats apart, one special interest group at a time. We can help that along, and put our own ideals out there at the same time. This is how, we tell the Republican Leaders that it's time for Conservative ideals to be the mainstay of the Party. No more moderate nonsense. No more governing from the center, or working with the extreme liberals. 

More people voted in 2004, than did this election. That tells me that the base wasn't thrilled with McCain, even with Palin backing him. 

Lot's of lessons out there to learn, will we learn from them? Or will we decide that Michael Medved is right, and we move to the Center, which is what caused our downfall in 2006 and again this year. 

Jeff Flake gets it. Other Conservatives are saying it too. Now, will the party finally listen, and realize that the Liberals are running the Democratic Party, their Socialist Agenda is the enemy of free thinking peoples everywhere? Or will the Republican Party insist that the Moderate go along get along theory is going to work eventually. 

Am I the only Conservative who sees opportunity in Defeat?

Perhaps it's my training at the hands of the Masters of Guerilla Warfare in the Army. Perhaps it's that I've read Sun Tzu who was a brilliant strategic thinker. 

Perhaps I am the only one who sees the opportunity for us to win? I can't believe that however. 

Unconventional Warfare teaches us that we fight to our strengths, and away from the enemies strength's. We don't attack where the enemy is strong, we attack where the enemy is weak. 

The Democrats are strong, but very very weak right now. I'm nearly overwhelmed with enthusiasm as I consider it. You should be too. 

First, let's consider the Obama Agenda, what we know of it anyway. The Poor, especially the Poor Blacks are expecting checks to arrive very soon. Obama has even said these stimulus checks, or free money, should be paid for by the Oil Companies, or Payroll Taxes. Payroll taxes is Washington Elite Political speak for Social Security/Medicare. 

When those checks don't arrive about the time that good old Barry is sworn in, the Poor are going to get angry. When the checks aren't regular payments to the Poor, and it's going to take some time for that to sink in, assuming the checks ever show up, then the Poor are going to get awfully resentful. 

Now, let's say that Obama focus's on his plan for Universal HealthCare. Does he make all Doctors Government Employees? Or does he just create a national Health Care Insurance program, which will cover everyone? Either way, he's going to have to address Tort Reform, which means offending the Lawyers who fund a big part of the Democratic Party. So Barry has a real problem with that. Let's lay it aside, and see what else, something easy for Barry to do.

How about his Environmental ideals? He could institute his cap and trade plan, which is already designed to bankrupt the Coal Industry. 

Wait, the Coal Miners are Union workers, which is another major source of power, and money, for the Democrats. The people transporting the coal are Teamsters, and RailRoad workers, again Union workers. Damn, if he kills the Coal Industry, he'll put them out of work, and erode the rank and file support he has. 

OK, let's move along to something else easy. Iraq. If he just pulls the troops out, he can save all that money. Wait, if he does that, and Iraq's Government falls, he'll be blamed for the failure. Even the Obama loving press wouldn't think it could pretend to blame Bush for that. Not when even the NY Times is grudgingly admitting that real progress has been made. 

Perhaps he can address the pitiful state of the Economy. By increasing regulation on business, and thus increasing their costs, he can lead us to higher unemployment, and that means more disgruntled people who will be on Welfare, the problem with that is that most of those do want to work, and they'll be unhappy. High Unemployment rates is not a good re-election tactic. 

He can give the Middle Class their tax cut, but he can't pay for all his programs without taxing them at a higher rate. So expect your taxes to go up for a while. Especially in 2010, when the Bush Tax Cut's expire. Higher taxes are a real good way to get re-election chances improved for the Democrats. 

OK, he could balance the budget, but not unless he reforms Social Programs, like Welfare, to push more of the people into work, and thus productivity. He won't do that, because the Democrats need those people to be dependent, so balancing the budget is out.

President Obama is completely screwed. He has a coalition of special interest groups, all voting for their own specific agenda items. He can't act on one, without alienating another two, or three. If he institutes cap and trade on energy. The Poor won't be able to afford to heat and cool their homes due to the rising costs of energy production. Having news stories about elderly people freezing to death is not a big re-election helping situation.

So he can do nothing, and claim credit when the Market sorts itself out, and finally absorbs the junk paper pushed on them by Fannie Mae, which makes him look like a do nothing President, and still doesn't satisfy the demands of another core group, the Poor. 

So why are you Conservatives Depressed? We're talking about some pain for the rest of us, sure. However we're determined, and dedicated to ideals of survival and success. We'll work harder to make it, while the whiners will be standing in the streets demanding that Obama do something. 

If he does learn from History, and take something other than the radical Socialistic Liberal approach, the Kos Kids will turn on him in a moment, and nuke him like they did Lieberman. 

President Obama only has one future open for him. He is going to replace Jimmy Carter as the Worst President of all time. 

Take a moment friends, and consider the debates for the next four years as more and more Liberals who are demanding action NOW turn on Pelosi, Reid, and the rest. The Environmental Wackos want all drilling stopped right now. The Truckers and other Blue Collar workers want Diesel Prices down and right now. They can't satisfy both groups, and now, can't blame the Republicans for it.

As World War II began, it was apparent that Stalin intended to stand back, and allow the Fascists, and the Imperialists, to destroy each other, and then step in and fill the power vacuum. Right now, we get to do much the same thing. The Liberal Groups are going to be slashing each other like nothing we've ever seen before, the Environmentalist Wackos and the Unions. The Rich are right now fighting to invest in Municipal Bonds, which offer tax free savings options, and other tax free or reduced tax options. Business' will close, and the unemployed are going to blame, Washington DC, and President Obama.

If we Conservatives play this right, do you realize that we can finally make the modern Democratic Party such a minority that they'll be screaming from the cheap seats for the rest of our lifetimes? 

All it's going to take, is Conservative Counterpoints on the Web, and in the local papers. 

I'm already composing a letter to the Editor of my local paper. It's time to actually educate the population on Conservative Value, and stop letting the Media and the Democrats define us as Racist hate filled greedy people. 

We can do this friends, and we can destroy the enemies of freedom at the same time. 

Next, I'll be explaining to prospective political figures and potential Presidential Candidates how to explain Conservative ideals to the masses in easy to swallow bites. Perhaps I'll write a book. The Politically Incorrect guide to Conservative Idealism. 

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin, God Love her, is ready to fight for Conservative Values and Ideals, are you? 

There is no time to lick wounds, point fingers, and wallow in post-election mud.

I’m getting a lot of moan-y, sad-face “What do we do now, Michelle?” e-mails.

What do we do now? We do what we’ve always done.

We stand up for our principles, as we always have — through Democrat administrations and Republican administrations, in bear markets or bull markets, in peacetime and wartime.

Team Sarah.

To show how Sarah Palin has electrified the Conservatives in the Republican Party, I'm going to link to two websites. First, Hot Air, and their cheering of Jeri Thompson (wife of Republican Candidate Fred Thompson) who shall we say slammed Colmes on Hannity and Colmes over the non issue of Sarah Palin's wardrobe.

Second, I'm going to link to the website, Team Sarah. Which has the unbelievable goal tomorrow, Saturday the 25th of October, to call a million women in battleground states, and answer questions about Sarah Palin. 

This Saturday, October 25 from 11AM - 1PM EST, Team Sarah will be calling one million women voters in battleground states and invite them to participate in a live, free tele-townhall over the phone. You will be able to ask questions and get answers from a panel of distinguished women leaders. This has never been done before! Imagine one million women voters on one phone call!

You can't miss out. If you would like to be included on the call (even if you aren't in a battleground state), sign up to be a member of Team Sarah and make sure to fill in your phone number in the profile section. We will keep your phone number private and will only use it for this.

If you are already a member, you simply need to sign in, go to "my settings," and answer the profile question.

If you have any questions, please email teamsarah08@gmail.com.

Does anyone doubt that if Obama wins this election, or perhaps I should say the Liberals manage to Vote Fraud and steal this election for Obama, that Sarah Palin will be the candidate people rally behind in 2012? 

Talk about your dream ticket. Palin Jindal in 2012. 

Hypocritical expectations of Senator (Presidential Candidate) McCain

Senator McCain, half of the famous driving force behind the 1st Amendment violating McCain Feingold legislation demonstrates his hypocrisy, yes again, in financing his Presidential Aspirations. It seems that the Senator wants to have huge donations from the very Rich Republicans whom he usually is beating on as corrupting politics. I guess McCain considers himself above corruption right?

In his early efforts to secure the support of the Republican establishment he has frequently bucked, McCain has embraced some of the same political-money figures, forces and tactics he pilloried during a 15-year crusade to reduce the influence of big donors, fundraisers and lobbyists in elections. That includes enlisting the support of Washington lobbyists as well as key players in the fundraising machine that helped President Bush defeat McCain in the 2000 Republican primaries.

...McCain the reformer worked unsuccessfully through Congress and the courts to try to stop nonprofit political groups known as 527s from using unlimited donations to run political ads and fund other activities aimed at influencing voters in the run-up to elections. He reintroduced legislation last week to end 527 donations, but there appears to be little appetite in Congress to pass it.

Senator McCain, who would be King McCain wants those Conservative supporting 527's to support him in his bid to become President. Of course, his history of Hypocrisy in these matters is well known, which is why his biggest supporter across this nation is the Establishment News Media.

Additional areas of Hypocrisy is Immigration if you will recall my post here, covering among other things McCain's action on Immigration Reform, which probably wouldn't need more reform if he had fixed the problem 20 years ago while he was in the Senate. McCain has said on many occasions that he is willing to Negotiate Anything. That includes your free speech rights under McCain Feingold Campaign Finance Legislation. That willingness to negotiate your freedom of speech rights away is one of the reasons many Conservatives oppose him for the Presidency, and one of the reasons I will never support him.

Senator McCain isn't a Conservative at heart, his core beliefs are all negotiable, and that is something that shouldn't be for a leader. I have given credit to the Senator before regarding his extremely honorable service, and conduct as a Prisoner of War in Viet-Nam. However that service doesn't give him any more right to be President today than it does all the others who served with Honor. He is a perfect example of respect for one thing not affecting all the other areas of life. While I do respect his service, I don't respect his legislative history, and don't respect his beliefs.

The so called Straight Talk Express, which is easily as hypocritical as John Edwards Two America nonsense, is a bunch of Media Approved hype. The obvious reason he is so loved by the Media is that Senator McCain can always be counted on to denounce other Conservatives.
