In keeping with the need to point out the hypocrisy of the left:

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided to continue theire trend of granting their highest awards to those that meet their political agenda.  One of their shining stars decided to make the most of his soap box last night, and showed typical leftist hypocrisy in the process.

Sean Penn, receiving the Oscar for his portrayal of Harvey Milk, decided that he would use the presentation of his award to spotlight tolerance.  His tolerance of the protestors’ viewpoint that Heath Ledger’s portrayal in Brokeback Mountain had earned him a place in hell was very touching.  Although I don’t agree with the protestors, the response from Penn was just as intolerant.

Agree with the left and be declared progressive and enlightened, but disagree, and be labeled an intolerant bigot.

How very tolerant of them.

The first true salvos in the fight for control of the Repbublican Party have been exchanged.  Most political observers across the spectrum, from die-hard conservatives to the far-left have seen it coming.  The left has generally realized something that many on the right have not; this fight is about much more than who runs the Grand Ole Party.

The recent comments from Republican Governors have defined the debate pretty clearly.  On one side there are those such as Bobby Jindal, who believe that Conservatism is the best hope for the Party.  On the other side are those such as the governor of Florida that believe that we must broaden the base.

The answer, unlike many, does not lie somewhere in the middle.  The party needs to return to, and most importantly live, the ideals of the Conservative movement.  The desire to regain seats that have been lost in the last two election cycles leads some to believe that we must invite those with widely different views into the “big tent.”  The problem is not a lack of diversity in the Party, it is a failure to present, explain, live, and prove the ideals of limited government and fiscal responsibility.  Republicans don’t need to move to the center, we need to show America why it should move to the right.

This is not the time to water down our ideals to try to gain votes.  Although the last election cycle proved that Americans aren’t necessarily the clearest thinking voters in the world, the electorate is not stupid.  A party that doesn’t stand for anything will not appeal to much of anyone, nor should it. 

We as members of this party must explain to our neighbors, friends, and co-workers why liberalism will fail all of us in the long run.  We must teach our children why taking more and more wealth from those that create it makes most of us poorer.  We need to help others understand how increasing taxes and regulatory burdens on businesses causes them to send more and more jobs and corporate assets out of this country.  Most of all, we need to teach them the principles of Conservatism that will enable them to think through political and social questions and come to correct conclusions on their own.

Our children are learning knee-jerk liberalism in our public schools and by watching TV.  We must teach them to think for themselves, to resist peer pressure, and to challenge the liberal and socialist messages they are bombarded.with.  We should point out the hypocrisy of the left, and teach them to spot it on their own.  We must not let the left define fairness for us.  Our children should understand that they are the better judge of how to distribute any of the fruits of their labor, and that government rarely makes the right choices in this regard.

It is also up to us to ensure that the Party’s leaders are fully aware that watering down the principles that made us strong is not acceptable.  Contribute to the Republican Party, but be sure to let them know that you don’t want the money to go to candidates that move to the left.  Participate in local party meetings, and express your insistence that the party stand on principles.  We must hold our representatives to high standards and not allow them to violate the principles of responsibility and accountability.

The fight is on, and we must choose our side.  The center is not an option.

The elections got me down.  I found it hard to write anything, even in the face of obvious targets.

 I suppose I should have said something when Obama decided that his first Executive Order would be to fund the killing of children in other countries.

I should have spoken up when Nancy Pelosi espoused ideas that would have made any Nazi eugenicist proud when she told us that birth control was economic stimulus.

 The passing of the stimulus package, which probably had many on the left weeping with joy about how Barack was going to stimulate them was truly a package of ammunition for any writer of the right.

 Unfortunately, it was just too depressing.  I have recovered enough though, and have decided that it is time to help move the Right in the right direction. 

So, onward…..

Howard Dean, unfortunately didn’t just go away.  Or maybe it isn’t so unfortunate.  With a few more spokesmen like him, the entire Democrat Party would probably become as irrelevant as he.  Where has “Dr.” Dean gone?  He is one of the leading lights of Democracy For America, which is quite possibly one of the most woefully misnamed organizations in a very long time.  Sadly, it is also one of the largest PACs in America today.  Hence the saying “never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”  DFA members are the left of the left, the liberal’s liberals, and viewed by some as the Jackass’ Jackass.

I personally take exception to any group which believes that America is served by taxpayer funded health care, believes that a filibuster is a “procedural trick” (of course, only when Republicans use it), that the Democrat Party is too far to the right, that man-made climate change (even they had to stop saying “global warming”) is going to destroy the Earth, and that the war in Iraq damages the Country’s global moral standing.  DFA believes that showing a picture ID to vote is “draconian”, that card check creates a strong growing middle class, and that allowing terrorists to sue telecom companies for complying with the law is right.  We aren’t served by are groups such as this that despise America, the free market, individual liberty, and think that morals are flexible and “personal.”  Groups that think anyone should be allowed to vote (citizen or not) and that unions still serve the working class.

The Democracy tag is ludicrous.  This group insists on using scare tactics and lies when Dems are in the minority, and pressure tactics and lies when in the majority.  This is not Democracy, but it certainly doesn’t stop this group from using the name.

For America.  I’m not sure that really needs much comment, other than to say that if an organization is for
America, it shouldn’t be making daily efforts to undermine the Constitution and the will of the people.  (That’s all people, not the carefully selected groups used by the polling organizations that they use.)

DFA engages in name-calling of political opponents, and provides scripts for its members to call their Congressional representatives.  They regularly threaten Dems that don’t lean far enough left.  They act like bullies, and like bullies they need to be challenged.

I would suggest that it would be helpful for most Americans to sign up for their email distribution list so that they can see what these people are up to, but as DFA uses the total number of those receiving their emails as the number supporting their ideas for their pressure campaigns, I can’t advise it.

If you are concerned about whom these people are (and you should be), you can go on the DFA site and search out full members living in your area.  These are the people that you should fight on your PTA/PTIO or whatever parent teacher organizations serve your schools.  They should not be on your HOA boards, your local councils, your zoning boards, volunteer lists at your local schools, etc, but if they are there they should be challenged constantly.  These are radicals that will attempt to influence your children and your communities to accept their extreme liberal agendas, and circumvent your liberty for their Utopian idiocy.

Time for a new name, how about “Destruction For America”?
