Cincinnati, Ohio (6/29/11)This morning, on the heels of the recent shocking betrayal by two republican senators who delivered the decisive votes to make 'Gay" marriage legal and a 'right' in New York, cometh a "Conservative" judge who ruled against an appeal of the Obama Health Care plan, saying that the plan, which requires all Americans to purchase health insureance or face financial penalites is "constitutional !" How's that again?

The Health Care scheme that Obama pushed on America despite vigorous objecion by the majority of citizens, was green-lighted by the Federal Appeals Court in Cincinnati this morning, keeping it active.

The judge who wrote the ruling, Jeffrey Sutton, a President George W. Bush appointee presents himself as a conservative. Judge James Graham, a Reagan appointee agreed with most of the opinion.

Obama's "Health Care" scheme to socialize medicine, is the vehicle Obama plans to drive America even closer to becoming a Communist State which is the goal of his sponsors. Suits have been filed agianst this socialist take-over of health care which they declare is unconstitutional. And it is.

His plan will bankrupt many small businesses, and individuals who simply cannot afford the forced purchase of this government plan which will actually reduce their health care.

Interesting: Our Executive Research Associate, Helen Trautman, CEO of Results Unlimited in Pittsburgh, reminded us that D.C. politicians made a law to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform, in all of its forms.  Nice. read more »

Dear Friend,

What issues do you consider to be the most important issues facing our country this year?

We are surveying hundreds of thousands of grassroots conservatives all across the country to get their opinion on what should be included in the 2011 Conservative Agenda for Congress.

We need your feedback!

Politicians may have their own ideas about what is important, but they need to know how conservative activists feel.

We want to let them know which issues are most important – and which issue most conservatives feel to be the “top priority” for the coming year. read more »

CORRECTION!  CORRECTION!  CORRECTION! 

There will be a "Tea Party" on the ballot in Florida.

The "Tea Party" rallies, the largest of which was held on 9/12/2009 (an estimated 1.5 million people assembled in Washington D.C.), were originally meant to: 1) remind Americans of how Bostonians protested the tax on tea in 1773; 2) rally conservatives to return to voting for the Republican Party candidates; 3) encourage the Republican Party candidates to be more conservative.  The "TEA" of "Tea Party" became an acronym for "Taxed Enough Already," and the first rally was on April 15, 2009. read more »

Many conservatives are talking about creating a new political party and calling it the "Tea Party."  These conservatives feel that the Republican party is either not conservative enough or can not find a viable candidate, one that can defeat a Democrat in 2012.  The latest figures I saw were that 33% of Conservatives favor creating this new party, 52% of Conservatives do not want it and the remaining 15% were unsure.

I'm urging all Conservatives to stay with the Republican Party.  Creating a third party would divide the conservative vote and that's exactly what the Democrats would like.  We need every conservative voter to vote for one candidate or we have no chance of electing a conservative candidate.

The "Tea Party" group (TEA meaning "Taxed Enough Already") has done a superb job of organizing and demonstrating.  Never before had more than 1.5 million people come together in Washington DC as they did on 9/12/09.  Smaller local and state "TEA Party" demonstrations were held all across the nation and spread the word that we're tired of increased taxes.  All of these demonstrations were peaceful and effective, with a few exceptions where SEIU members intimidated some TEA Party members.  But creating a new third party will only harm the conservative cause. read more »

Just in case you're tempted to get distracted by all that talk from the White House, Nancy Pelosi, etc. about how all those people showing up at townhall meetings really don't represent America, well it seems the numbers tell a different story:

Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll.
 
At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years.

In 2009, 40% percent of respondents in Gallup surveys that have interviewed more than 160,000 Americans have said that they are either "conservative" (31%) or "very conservative" (9%). That is the highest percentage in any year since 2004.

Only 21% have told Gallup they are liberal, including 16% who say they are "liberal" and 5% who say they are "very liberal."
 
Thirty-five percent of Americans say they are moderate.

And, of course, we know that most "moderates" tend to be conservatives who are worried about running afoul of political correctness if they admit it. read more »

The world conservative movement won a huge victory in Europe this past weekend because European voters rejected left-wing take-overs of businesses and huge government spending to combat the severe world-wide recession.   They are rejecting the Nanny state said Glenn Beck on his show on Monday.   

Considering that those socialist policies are exactly what the Obama administration is forcing upon America  --  with the help of an extreme left-wing United States Congress  --  the European election results portend disastrous consequences for the Democrat Party in next year's congressional elections  --  unless the "Blue Dog Democrats" and others with commonsense stop their party's rabidly partisan and ideological leadership.  

The center-right elected candidates picked up 267 seats in the European Parliament.  On the other hand, the center-left politicians won only 159 seats.   Daniel Hannan, conservative British Member of the European Parliament, said on the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News this past Monday that people make a mistake when they assume that liberal democracies are a permanent fixture in Europe.   

Likewise, the Democrat leadership in the White House and in Congress  --  as well as pessimistic Republicans  --  are making a mistake if they believe Barack Obama's, Nancy Pelosi's and Harry Reid's pell-mell rush to socialism will be a permanent fixture in this country.    read more »

This blog is in regard to the Christian Coalition's article, "Christian Coalition of America condemns Democrat-controlled House for passing "Thought Crimes" bill".  I would like to take a moment to address the misguided logic within this article as well as the theological distortions used to oppose the Hate Crimes Bill.  It seems that this bill has dredged up some fears of Christian conservatives that the right to denounce homosexuality in a non-threatening manor would be taken away.  This is hardly the case.  Fox News published an article today on their website that refutes many of these claims:

"Frederick Lawrence, a law professor at George Washington University, said there is nothing within the language of the hate crimes bill that would allow for the prosecution of individuals who simply speak out against a particular sexual or ethnic group. read more »

Former Pennsylvania US Senator Rick Santorum spoke out this past weekend about the failures of past Republican leadership.  Specifically, how they had failed conservatism, which then resulted in political defeat.

Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, DC, Santorum said that the losses at the ballot box came because the leadership lost sight of, or were unwilling to implement conservative principles.  He went on to say that it was “conservatives who failed conservatism and that failed America.” 

In regards to the current financial situation and recurring bailouts:

Santorum says he tried to convince his friends in the Bush White House that using billions in taxpayer dollars to bail out Wall Street banks in hopes of saving the credit markets was the wrong thing to do, but they did not listen to him and instead “opened up a door that the next president is driving a bulldozer through.”

And the next several generations of Americans will be paying for it.
