Thoughts on the Aftermath

Posted by Conservapendent on Wednesday, November 05, 2008 11:17:03 AM
Last night I went to sleep with the ill feeling of knowing that the most liberal and under-qualified person to run for the office of the President, was elected by the people of this great country to be our next President. I take some solace in knowing that the damage was mitigated in the House and likely the Senate too. I am still hopeful that we can limit some of the most extreme elements of the Obama agenda with Senatorial filibusters. I am also hopeful that only the most liberal of Supreme Court Justices will retire before the Republicans can retake the Senate and White House.

That being said, I am already hearing sniping and back-stabbing of Gov. Sarah Palin by some of the McCain campaign. This is just disgusting. Senator McCain lost this election (or you could say Obama won it). To blame Gov. Palin as a “drag” on the ticket is appalling. Those staffers should be ashamed of themselves and the job they did during this campaign. This is a time for introspection, not external blame games. Republicans voted for McCain in the primary.  That is the first place the Party needs to look. Each Republican that pulled the lever for McCain this past winter and spring needs to ask themselves if they voted for the best person to represent the Party.

On the national level as a whole, the Republicans did not learn any discernable lessons from 2006 and paid the price for those same issues again. The Republican Party needs new, younger, more conservative leadership. It needs leaders with new ideas and a new image. The Republican Party needs to focus on the things that all Americans agree on. Newt Gingrich, and his American Solutions PAC, has put together an agenda that is pro-American and, for lack of a better word, populist. Americans are tired of the bitter political rancor and want solutions to real problems. America is a center-right nation, and the Republican Party is going to make the most sense to most Americans in the end. If we can get our bearings straight, look past the old tired lines of “smaller government” and “lower taxes”, and actually present ideas that display those beliefs rather than just spouting them as talking points, I wholeheartedly believe that we can retake the White House in 2012.

Over the next several months I will dedicate this blog to advocating ideas based upon my core center-right (conservapendent) beliefs. It is my hope that these core beliefs and ideas will be shared by the Republican leadership in Washington D.C.

A vote for Obama is a vote for crisis...

Posted by Conservapendent on Saturday, October 25, 2008 12:53:33 PM
Senator Barack Obama's running mate, Senator Joseph Biden, said the other day at a Democratic fundraiser that the world will test Barack Obama within the first 6 months of his term as President. Biden said it would be a generated crisis to test the mettle of Obama, and that Obama would look like he didn't make the right decision.

This is unreal, the running mate of the most unqualified person to run for President on a major party ticket is telling us that Obama will be tested and it will look like he mishandled it! How could anyone vote for this guy?
 
The McCain campaign has put out a very smart add addressing this. Hopefully they can get it out there in the swing states for people to see.

Biden and other Democrats don't believe Obama is ready!

Posted by Conservapendent on Monday, September 15, 2008 12:48:07 PM
Barack Obama, his campaign, and his surrogates try to convince the American people that Gov. Sarah Palin is not qualified to be "a heartbeat away from the Presidency".  Yet what they don't want the American people to realize is that he is no more qualified to be the actual President.  Barack Obama spent 8 years in the the Illinois State Senate and has been a U.S. Senator since 2005.  That might sound like decent experience, but considering that Obama has been campaigning for President since February of 2007, he essentially has only been a Senator for 2 years.  On the other hand, Sarah Palin was a two term city councilmember in Wasilla, the fifth largest city in Alaska, a two term Mayor of the same city, and Governor of the state since 2006.  Serving in legislative and executive capacities in these rolls.  She would be presented with much more experience in running a government in these rolls than Obama would have garnered as a legislator.
 
What has Barack Obama done in the last nineteen months (since his campaign began) that would suddenly make him qualified to be the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of its armed forces.  I submit that he has done nothing but campaign for that privilege.  Over the past year several prominent Democrats have questioned Obama's readiness, including his own choice for Vice President.  Click the link below to see a YouTube clip containing interviews with Joseph Biden, Hillary Clintion, John Edwards and for President Bill Clinton all questioning Barack Obama's credentials.  It is stunning to think that the American people, if they saw these clips, would support the most unqualified person to ever run for President under any major political party.

Phony Outrage on a Bridge to Nowhere

Posted by Conservapendent on Monday, September 15, 2008 10:39:26 AM
Barack Obama, his campaign and the liberal mainstream media are creating a little bit of phony outrage of their own. Yet again Obama and his surrogates are trying to nail the Bridge to Nowhere on Gov. Palin. Saying that she flip-flopped on the issue. That first she was for the worthless bridge, then against it. This may be a fine argument to make, there is some evidence to their claim. However, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Barack Obama and Joseph Biden, as Senators, voted for the Bridge to Nowhere funding. If that hypocritical vote wasn't bad enough, they did it in spite of a request by Republican Senator Tom Coburn to dump the funding for the Bridge to Nowhere and use the money instead to rebuild a Katrina damaged bridge.

Yet another example of PDS for the Democrats. They just should not bring up earmarks in regards to Palin, they are just going to be shown as the hypocrites they are.

The Democrats have a severe case of PDS

Posted by Conservapendent on Sunday, September 14, 2008 10:35:29 PM
The Democratic ticket for the White House must be suffering from some serious PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome), which is a new virus that has mutated from the original BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome). Obama, his surrogates, and his supporters are running full speed off the edge of a political cliff. Since John McCain announced Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, the left wingers have lost their minds and started trashing Gov. Palin. I can't think of a time in my life when a Presidential candidate has decided to abandon his party's fight against the other party's candidate and instead decided to go after the Vice Presidential candidate of the other party. I guess it must be that Obama knows that McCain is way too experienced to challenge him, so he has to go after someone he deems to be more 'his size' politically. Unfortunately for Obama, Palin is more experienced for an executive office. Obama is a big talker, that's why he has always been in the legislative branch... that' what they do. Palin just plain gets things done, and that's what an executive does.

Obama isn't much of an attack dog, and when he does do it, it is very elitist and condescending (anyone remember his 'sweetie' remark?). Unfortunately for Obama, his running mate has a bit of the 'hoof in mouth' disease as evidenced over the last week. Senator Biden, while trying to play the ticket's attack dog, came after Gov. Palin on stem cell research. On this topic Sen. Biden, knowing good and well that Palin's youngest son has Down Syndrome, said "If you care about it, why don't you support stem-cell research?". What a jerk! So now because Senators Obama and Biden support embryonic stem cell research, they care more about Palin's son, and others, than she does. That is the inference here. It shows his callousness, and his ignorance. Stem cell research may hold great promise for lots of ailments, but down syndrome is not one of them. In fact, most birth defects could not be prevented or treated with stem cell therapies currently known or being researched.

The derangement, I fear, is a hopeless condition for so many left-minded Americans. Nonetheless, let's stand up for what is inspiring... a mother's unconditional love for her special needs son, who wants to serve her family, the families of other special needs kids, and our great nation.

More proof of the Global Warming hoax

Posted by Conservapendent on Friday, March 21, 2008 2:52:31 PM
Please look at the following article which was put out just a couple days ago by NPR's Morning Edition.  NPR is by no means a conservative organization, and you can see it in their spin on the facts in the article.  That being said, please read the article and see how Global Warming alarmists, even when presented with facts, must find a way to explain away the truth in order to keep their blind-faith hoax alive.

A New Space Race: Real Energy Independence

Posted by Conservapendent on Friday, July 20, 2007 1:15:35 PM
This country needs comprehensive energy reform.  First and foremost, our national security is at risk because of America’s longstanding import of oil from other nations, especially those that are not traditional or real allies.  Let’s be honest, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf nations cannot be considered real allies.  Whenever they have been friendly it has been for their own benefit, not mutual benefit, as you would expect from a true ally.  It should be our policy that our national energy requirements should be met by our own natural resources.  Only if that is not possible should America purchase resources from allies or neutral nations.  By neutral nation I mean a nation that is not in any existing alliance with America, but holds to the same human rights and freedoms as America, and has not been found to have any affiliation with any active group that seeks America’s harm.

Environmentalists would hate this policy because they want us to get away from non-renewable resources, especially on our own soil or in our own waters.  I don’t disagree with them on this point, however, from a true environmental perspective we purchase oil from nations that don’t have as stringent policies when it comes to the clean drilling and processing of petroleum products.  So if we drilled and refined our own petroleum products we could ensure the safest possible methods.  As well, knowing that our supplies are limited this would hasten the day that we move to renewable resources of energy.  

This brings me to my second point, and the crux of my vision.  Much like the space race of the 1960’s, America needs a new space race for clean, renewable energy technology.  We have the greatest and most innovative minds in the world and need to harness that to move America forward to an energy independent super-power that is also the leader in clean energy.  This can happen, our nation has the monetary and natural resources for such a venture.  The longer we wait for such a project, the longer we entangle ourselves in parts of the world that really don’t want anything from us other than our money or our blood… and that makes us less safe.
