Well I just finished reading "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. What a book! I am captivated by the depth of research and information. He traced Liberalism back to the French Revolution and explained why the Liberals are so bent on removing religion from everywhere. It isn't the constitution they are concerned about, but rather making the state a religion in and of itself. They want to replace Christianity. They want the state (federal government) to be everything and control us, similar to the Sweden of today. Or more closely the Fascist government of Italy or the Nazi government before the revelation of the depth of depraved Racism we saw at the end of WWII. Interestingly, the Liberals are actually more racist then conservatives. I am sure the Liberals will deny all hint of racism but the evidence was made clear in Goldberg's book. In looking back I can see evidence of it my self. In addition, listening to President Obama's speech, I heard catch phrases that indicate a left leaning presidency.

OK. that is old news. Conservatives were already aware of this. It seems to me that we need to be back on point, and return to our core values and really begin to make it known.
We stand for less government, less invasion in our privacy and ownership. We stand for less interference in business and need to stand aside for new small business to get started. We need to remove roadblocks, regulations, and high entrance costs for new business to get started. We need to be careful about driving small business out of business due to regulation. Less Taxes, and return Federal government to what is federal. And education is a state responsibility, not federal. Close down the department of education.
More later.

OK, it's been a while since I posted. Most of my time has been spent doing research with regard liberalism and conservatism and have discovered some very important and interesting aspects. Conservative thought goes back to the founding fathers fear of government and their desire to minimize government and celebrate the individual. Our founding fathers wanted a government that didn't get in the way of the individual to make a living and do well on their own without the government imposing roadblocks and rules that makes it difficult.

Liberals on the other hand believe in the state as the means for the people to succeed. They focus less on the individual then on the "people". Taking the liberal movement back to the source leads us to socialism, communism, fascism that abounded during the early 19th century. From Wilson, FDR, down to LBJ, to Clinton, the central theme was the government, most especially the federal government had a responsibility to take care of the people. Example of this in the extreme is the experiment in Sweden where there is cradle to grave care by the government. The trouble is that this care places huge budget strains and causes Sweden to have the highest tax rates ever. I have heard of cases where people ended up owing more than they made if they made enough money. This kills innovation. Listening to President elect Obama speak about redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor, it is disturbing. The solution is not to redistribute wealth, but to create new wealth. This can be done through education. Not the kind of education the liberals are espousing but real education in science, engineering, trades such as welding, electrical, etc.
More later on this. The biggest danger to the liberal belief in the power of the state to take care of everything. This belief almost borders on religion. Going back to the earliest stages of Liberalism, this belief in the state caused the liberals to hate Christianity. It is my belief that Christianity empowers the individual and places in the church the powers the Liberals believe belongs to the "people" or in other words state. That could also be the move of the liberals to place more power in the federal government rather then states or communities and cities. More later.
Thanks

It has been a while since my last post. I have been researching and reading books.  I have read both Sean Hannity's books and am starting Major Garrett's book The Enduring Revolution.  I have also read The ACLU VS America by Alan Sears and Craig Osten.  I have reached a conclusion that the more liberal a person is, the more secular they are also.  I know that Sean's partner Alan Colmes would disagree but it does appear that the Democratic Party has become more radicalized and they are going out of their way to make it appear they are the norm and the Republicans are the radical religious right.  Some observations:

1: The establishment clause has become the means the ACLU has used to remove and traditional values associated with Christianity.  However, it only means the US cannot establish a state religion,  it even goes on to allow free exercise of religion.  The ACLU has been active in banning the free exercise when it attempts to ban even greeting in the name of Christ.

2: I think the Department of Education should be reduced in size to be only a think tank. And remove the influence of the NEA from an organization of teachers to a PAC.  We really need to get a handle on our schools. Stop teaching tolerance for Gay groups (since they are only about 1% of the population and we never found a gay gene so it isn't something you are born with) and sex education.  Start teaching good solid civics, math, science, English and reading.  Note I said English.  That is our language,  not something brought over by illegal aliens.  That leads me to my next statement.

3: We should start teaching intelligent design as a viable theory. I am really getting sick of ID being banned on the basis of the establishment when it has become more viable than Evolution. Since the universe has been discovered to be expanding at an increasing rate, we cannot say the universe is static.  Since it is expanding, that means it originated from a single point (IE Big Bang).  The universe is also much younger that the Evolutionist want us to believe.  Read Lee Strobel's The Case for a Creator.  And check his sources.  That makes it more believable.

4: If we are say we are conservative, then do it.  We should be

• Cutting taxes rather than stimulus packages
• Using existing tools to handle problem companies (Chapter 11)
• Reduce the size of the government.  We can accomplish more with less easily.

5: Lets recognize what the federal government is for.

• Foreign Affairs.  This is really what the President is supposed to be really doing.
• Defence.  The President is the Commander in Chief. That means his has a duty to maintain a strong navy and army to prevent violations on our soil.
• Deal with interstate commerce.

What the federal government is not is supreme in everything.  Note that if something isn't mentioned in the US constitution, then is belongs to the states.

I really think we Republicans and conservatives need to focus and stay on message.
