Representing the Majority Could Prove Fatal for Republicans

Press reporting alleges that according to Steve Schmidt, a former advisor to John McCain, the GOP risks becoming the “religious party” with its opposition to same-sex marriage.

There are a couple of very large problems with this argument.

It’s What the People Want

The most important point is that time and time again Americans have demonstrated that the overwhelming majority of voters, while not opposed to the lifestyles of professed homosexuals, are indeed opposed to laws declaring the union between two people of the same sex to be equal in nature and value to the union between a man and a woman. Even a large portion of Democrats oppose such measures dictating what people should believe with respect to homosexuality.

It seems to me the argument is actually saying Republicans should follow the Democrats and start representing the will and opinions of the special interest minority over the voting majority if Republicans hope to remain a political power. Considering main stream media marginalization of non-Liberal/non-Democratic opinions, the argument does carry some merit. The media is the playing field and often deemed the referee, so conservative political ideas that run contrary to media bias will not do very well as they are filtered to the public.


It’s a Religious Argument

Another important point stems from the idea of the “religious party.” That should actually read “the religious party;” as if only one side of the argument contains religion. Science, history, and logic fall squarely on the side of the heterosexual majority, yet people have been convinced the beliefs on the homosexual side of the argument outweigh the facts on the heterosexual side, and the beliefs on the heterosexual side are null and void because of faith in God. Liberal media strikes again.

Of course, Steve also made the point we should not invoke religion as the rationale for a political position. The problem with that is everyone on both sides of the argument is religious; for some reason it is only deemed detrimental for Christians. Religion/faith in anything but God seems to be a substantial argument to support almost any position. Ironically, if you have faith in God, even your non-religious arguments somehow lose all merit. Gay marriage, abortion, and pornography are all condemned in many different forms by science, statistics, history, experience, logic, reality, and public conscience. Yet amazingly, the only arguments the media ever seems to focus on are the religious arguments.


Manipulative Media Prophesy

The most dangerous aspect of the media is its ability to shape the future with misinformation. The media told us we lost in Iraq, and even as victory reigns and our troops settle in to ensure victory lasts under the new President, people continue to denounce “the lost war.” The media advocated Barrack Obama, and even as duped voters are already asking themselves “what have I done,” people continue to demonize Bush and praise an ideal in Obama that he himself has already cast aside.

Consider the latest media announcements of the decline of Christianity; and now the dead end course of the Republicans who represent Christians. The Democrats and their media cohort have asserted “Christian values” and “right-wing fundamentalists” as the reason George Bush was elected…twice. The quick rise of mega-churches was all the media (out)rage just a year or two ago. The main thrust of Obama’s affront, his full deception and misrepresentation, was aimed at Christians.


Persevere

The fact is this nation is still a Christian nation; lost, but Christian. If you believe your faith no longer matters, it doesn’t; and those who hate your faith know it. So, beware those who attempt to convince you your faith no longer matters. If you forsake your faith, so will your representatives, so will your nation, and so will your children. Pray and hold fast to your faith.

Definitely A Bow

He’s up to the old Jedi mind tricks again.

I’m sure every President has tripped over his own shoe laces at least once in the first 100 days. While I’m less concerned with faux pas than I am with policy, that is a luxury I have; I am not the President of the United States.

Personally, I wouldn’t care if he curtsied and then skipped merrily down the red carpet singing “I’m a little tea pot” at the top of his lungs. Frankly, his foreign policy (and I use the term loosely) isn’t much less of a spectacle.

The thing that chaps my hide is the inability of the administration or its supporters to call a spade a spade. It’s almost as if honesty just isn’t on the menu.

WE HAVE THE VIDEO YOU IDGITS!



I feel like I’m in a bad Monty Python skit. Then Robert Gibbs wants to try to take the high road:

“I can only imagine it is of great cause and concern for many people struggling with the economy.”

Gibbs, you’re absolutely right. Of course…well…you see…if the President can’t be honest with something we can all plainly see for ourselves…if his party and supporters can’t admit the truth about something that is in plain sight…if you can’t answer a cut and dry question on something as evident as a videotaped bow…

WHY SHOULD WE TRUST ANYTHING THAT OBAMA, LIBERALS, (DEMOCRATS AND MEDIA), AND YOU SAY ABOUT THE ECONOMY OR ANYTHING ELSE?!?!?!?

The bow definitely confirms what Obama’s record and experience plainly indicated before he was elected, what 48% of Americans knew and proclaimed in the voting boothes during the election, and what he himself has demonstarted countless times since assuming office; his inexperience in office and leadership, and his naïve, uniformed assumptions on economics and international politics make him a detriment to U.S. interests both home and abroad.

Pregnancy: An Interpretive Oppression

According to the Obama administration, or more accurately and hopefully just one of his crack(pot) appointees, any law which presumes to recognize the human life cycle prior to a consensual labor/birthing event and extend any form of human rights to the human being/life prior to the birthing event, and thereby hold others accountable for the well being and/or protection of that human life, is tantamount to slavery.

Dawn Johnsen, Barack Obama’s appointment to head the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel, filed a brief with the Supreme Court that stated:

Statutes that curtail [a woman's] abortion choice are disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment, in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus in order to further the state's asserted interest.

…and…

[The woman] is constantly aware for nine months that her body is not wholly her own: the state has conscripted her body for its own ends. Thus, abortion restrictions "reduce pregnant women to no more than fetal containers.

The good news is the brief was filed 20 years ago. The bad news is 20 years later the person who filed the brief is in an official position to influence the fabric of our entire culture. I think the intellectual expression that would summarize the collective feeling of most humane, conscientious voters is “yikes.”

Realistically, if Johnsen’s argument were given any credence, the same logic would quickly do away with taxes. Additionally, since pregnancy is a process, unless the entire process is forced, coitus and conception included, it is an intellectual and constitutional contortion - or perversion - to call the tangibly obvious developmental stages of pregnancy servitude. Furthermore, a happy, willing, or just plain ignorant slave is still a slave, so if the Supreme Court holds to Johnsen’s logic, they would have to outlaw pregnancy in general.

Hopefully there’s not much to worry about, but be vigilant and, most importantly, prayerful.

In Johnsen’s defense, the argument was probably a superficial aftershock of the 60s' enlightened and overly dramatic sensitivity to oppression mixed with the propensity for liberals to site such flagrant philosophical folly while eloquently plucking the bleeding heart strings of America. The only thing the argument lacked was interpretive dance. Then again, I wasn’t there; indeed Johnsen may have delivered the brief neck deep in leotards and leg warmers, panting under the strain of rhythmic legal expression.

I know what you’re thinking, “Where was You Tube when we needed it most?”

The Confidence Man

Barack Obama has been elected as the next President of the United States.

Obama is NOT the Antichrist, to be certain, but he is hardly worthy of the mantle of leadership or the office of President of the United States.

I had hoped the first black President would be elected because of his integrity, selflessness, sense of duty and service, and wisdom. I am ashamed that the best the black community could offer America is a confidence man whose appeal required a lack of scrutiny and a lowering of standards.

Alas, here we are.

While I am highly disappointed with 52% of Americans’ judgment, or lack there of, I know my duty to the office, to the Constitution, and most importantly to my God and country (in that order).

"O" Don’t Know Joe

“I don’t know any plumbers making $250k a year.”

“What’s that, Joe, you’ve tried the kool-aid and you don’t think it tastes good? Well, screw you, Joe! We don’t need your vote, anyway.”

I find it interesting that when Obama and the folks that claim to represent “Joe Public” were confronted and exposed by a real everyday Joe asking a real everyday question, when they couldn’t meet Joe’s need or answer Joe’s problem, they just turned on Joe.

I guess they only represent the Joe who doesn’t ask any questions…or the Joe who will simply swallow whatever answer he’s given, and Obama has definitely identified that group.

It’s unsettling to me, though not really surprising, that Obama is capable of simply dismissing and disparaging a common voter who, though he fits the demographic of those whom Obama courts, still finds cause to question Obama’s plans.

After demonstrating an obvious and unquestionable hole in Obama’s socialist agenda, Obama practiced his usual sleight-of-hand and dismissed his own failings by pointing out that Joe is not a licensed plumber. Americans are told to ignore the truth of Obama’s answer and what that means for America, because Joe isn’t actually a licensed plumber.

So, once again Obama is exposed as an unsuitable candidate for President, and once again he waves his hand over the ignorant masses, makes a few affirming populist statements, and convinces them that “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for….move along.”

While Obama definitely seems to have sway over the average undiscerning person, one thing is clear:

Obama does not know Joe…and he doesn’t really want to.

Misplaced Devotion

The young men in the video repeatedly recite, “because of Obama.”

What?

Are they saying that before Obama, they had no skills or intelligence, no desire or ambition, no drive or motivation, and no resources or opportunities?

Yes, that’s exactly what they’re saying.

It isn’t remotely true, but that’s the kind of thinking that helps keep the Democrats in power over black America: You can’t do anything yourself, because they (e.g. Republicans, whites) are going to hold you down; only with our help will you succeed.

It’s an insidious message that keeps black Americans from recognizing their own potential and makes them beholden to the Democratic Party to such a degree that while they are absolved of owning their failures, they are inhibited from owning their successes.

The same tactic is evident in Obama’s Presidential campaign; he enjoys political success due to America’s racial unity, yet claims America’s racial unity is due to his political success. Obama asserts that only his election to the Presidency will prove or demonstrate America’s racial unity, obligating Americans to elect him or forfeit decades of racial progress.

So, just as America can accurately state, “because of Democrats” America is continuously chained to a racial past that has no rational application in our day and only prevents us from recognizing and capitalizing on decades of racial progress,…

…the young men in the video could just as accurately state, “because of Obama” black children are unable to accomplish anything or think for themselves unless someone of their own race does it first, depriving black youth of the ability to identify with their peers and achieve equal success even in their own eyes.

What happens when Obama doesn’t win the White House?

The fire, dependent on Obama, will go out, and just as an external force was attributed the credit for success, an external force will be attributed blame for the lack of action.

In reality, Obama is just another politician America deems unqualified for the job, and the young men in the video are just young kids witheld from their own culture, ripe with role models of different skin color than their own.

America Is In Trouble

Maryland Democratic Representative and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and his political colleagues were right about one thing, America is in trouble.

Today, marked the day that Congress chose a way ahead in full awareness that it was not what “We the People” wanted.

Today, our elected officials, on whom the Supreme Court ruled we cannot impose term limits, took action in complete contradiction of the majority, “We the People,” and imposed a bill on us.

“We the People” spoke, and they did not listen. “We the People” raised our voice and they ignored us. Next, “We the People” will vote, and our vote will be overturned…wait, been there, done that.

Entitlement politics got us here, and now those same politicians (i.e. Massachusetts Democratic Representative and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Barney Frank) want credit for the proposed solution for the mess they made…$700 billion in credit to put it plainly.

Excessive credit debt is the issue; people borrowed too much and aren’t repaying it. To make matters worse, our politicians, who allegedly understand something that we do not, decided the solution was $700 billion of additional credit.

Why didn’t “We the People” think of that?

I guess the politicians were right about that, too; “We the People” just don’t understand.

Democracy is dead.

“We the People…”

…are most definitely in trouble.



(I am ashamed that President Bush and Senator McCain were apart of this, and I find myself genuinely desiring another viable candidate for whom I could cast my vote.)
