We have nothing to FEAR but FEAR itself

I've read a lot of reasons here and other places as to why a third and fourth party won't work and so we need to rehab the republican party. I'm reminded of a cliche credited to Albert Einstein 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results'. How many times over the last 20-30 years have you heard about our need to reform the GOP? How's that working out? Given the lack of success and the dire straights we conservatives and constitutionalists are in can we really afford to waste time repeating failed history? With the left branding us as terrorist how much time do we have to act before the arrest begin? Do we really expect the party of evil lite to help here?

I think fear plays to a lot of the thinking here as well. Fear of an unknown party, fear of change, fear of the left with fear mongering by the GOP leadership, and fear of loosing power.

Yes, it is a risk in changing parties for a new and untested party. Members of the Whig party did that in 1848. In 1861 they saw their first president elected. He was a one term former whig US congressman named Abraham Lincoln. His fellow members overcame their fear and became a national party in less than twenty years all without TV, Radio, or the internet. So much for their fear of change or a new party.

Fear of the left and fear mongering by the GOP has been used a lot over the last 20+ years. If you don't vote for us the other side will take over! Sure we have our faults but we are not as bad as the other side! The old lesser of two evils cry. The public got so tired of that useless claim the other side finally did win! The GOP's worst fear did come true and they really lost power! Do we really want to waste more time trying to reform a party of losers that is still using the lesser of two evils argument?

All attempts to reform the Republican Party over the last twenty years have failed! It's time to get over that and move on. Many nations have more then two parties and form coalition governments all the time. We conservatives can elect conservatives if we band together and just do it. We need party discipline for those who say one thing and do another. We will have to be true to our ideals or the public will soon reject us. NO RINO types allowed.

To those who say it can't be done please enjoy your status quo. Those like me will do the heavy lifting and move past you. Good luck with your reforming the GOP.

Temper tantrum in chief

Well, well, well. President obama has already lost it. The other day he had a major fit because the republicans in the senate would not toe the line on his stimulus spending package. He reminded the republicans, "we won the election". He reminded me of a kid chiding others to play by his rules or he will take his ball and go home. Where have we heard such a line before? Oh yea, "we are the president" billary, complaining on the defeat of her healthcare takeover.

Well he should be happy today. He got three RINO's to go over to his side and pass the package out of the senate. These three RINO's shot the republican party in the foot again. They could have put the whole stimulus package onto the backs of the democratic party. Now when this pork package fails to fix the economy the democrats can claim it was the republicans fault too. Why the republican party doesn't kick these losers out of their caucus is beyond me.

Its friends like these that will finally take the republican party the way of the dodo and the whig party. As a member of the Constitution Party this can't happen soon enough. A smart party would purge itself from this type of people. A smart party would let the democrats run the whole show and be fully responsible for its failure. It will fail. It failed during the first depression and it will fail during this depression. Given the type of politicians we have in Washington DC it can do nothing but fail.

The main problems that led to this depression still remain. Homeowners that are facing foreclosure are still there and nothing in this bill will fix it. The dollar is still weak and will get weaker with the coming inflation. More banks are failing and will fail. The commercial property failures have yet to begin. We as a nation produce less and less every year. As the government spends more money less is available for investment and starting up of manufacturing.

The lack trust in the government and our current socialist system will cause its demise. The government policies that caused these problems will only get worse. The politicians only see the government as the cure or solution. They never see that they are the problem. Socialism never last long before it collapses under its shear weight and burden on the people. The only real question then is, will the union hold together or will it fracture into large chunks? Will we fall into fascism or will we throw off the shackles and win back our freedom?

Are you prepared? Are you just a sheeple? Are you ready to fight for your freedom? Are you a slave to the government or are you a free person?
