Representative Paul Ryan, (Republican) Wisconsin

          On December 2, 2010 Republican Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin verbalized a key element of liberal doctrine when he responded to a question from Sean Hannity about the current economic situation in the United States.  Ryan described the liberal position as “the economic doctrine of telling people, you’re stuck in your current station in life, and the government is here to help you cope with it!”  He went on to say, “That’s not who we (the conservatives) are. That’s not what this country is all about. We want everybody to be successful”.  We couldn’t agree more and the American people made it clear in the 2010 midterm elections that they, too, still believe in the American Dream.

Pentagon Failures Require Immediate Fix

TOP BRASS SHOULD STEP DOWN 

          With the War in Afghanistan going poorly and military computers bleeding classified documents, there is something seriously wrong with the leadership at the Pentagon.  Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen seem to be more concerned about conducting a social experiment that would completely change the culture of the military, rather than spending every waking hour on solving the prodigious (see WOW) military challenges that face our country.  I’m talking about their obsession with political correctness at the expense of keeping this country safe. 

          Bucking all other heads of the military branches, Admiral Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations, has joined Gates and Mullen in calling for a change in the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) policy that has worked effectively for more than a decade.  One has to wonder why these men would favor implementation of the homosexual lifestyle into a military that is known for and depends on strict order and discipline.  Just how far on the spectrum of homosexual behavior are they willing to go?  Would it stop at men kissing and holding hands in uniform or would they also condone sodomy, the hallmark of the gay lifestyle?  Perhaps they would even be willing to embrace the far extreme of the homosexual behavior spectrum and would consider it a gay soldier’s right to have a sex change operation at the military’s expense, if he decides that he is living inside the wrong body. 

          With all due respect, gentlemen, please come to your senses!  We are in a desperate war with an enemy who wants to do away with America.  We are fighting it on numerous fronts throughout the world and now in cyberspace as well.  We do not need any unnecessary distractions at this time or at any other time, for that matter.  Ask anyone who has served or is now serving in the military and they will tell you that Gates, Mullen and Roughead are way off base.  The great majority of those who have served would tell you that DADT should remain intact.  We believe that to even be considering a change in policy at this time demonstrates a serious lack of judgment.  We are, therefore, calling for Secretary Gates and Admiral Mullen to step down and make room for those who are willing to ‘man up’ and put every resource into fighting this war on all fronts until victory has been achieved.  That is the kind of behavior we expect from our military leaders.

California Screamin’

California Screamin’         

          As California prepares to bid farewell to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the obvious question that comes to mind is ‘will anyone miss the governator?’  The only possibility that I can think of would be the union bosses who have had him on a short leash for the past seven years.  Talk about a girlie man!  What a bust for the once hopeful conservatives in the state who actually believed the former muscle man would take on the ‘forces of evil’ which have brought the state to its knees over the past several decades. 

          Bucking the trend in all other areas of the country except New York, Democrats swept all statewide offices in the 2010 California midterm elections.  The union owned California Democrat Party is not only now in control of the governorship and all statewide offices, but also both houses of the legislature and both senate seats.  They now literally own the state with all its blemishes and all its problems, which means that they will be accountable to the electorate if they do not bring the state back from the brink of self inflicted bankruptcy. 

          With Republicans now in control of the House of Representatives in Washington, DC, the likelihood of a federal bail out is remote, a development which will focus the attention of the world on the responsibility of California’s liberal Democrats  for the mess the state is in.  While the rest of the country begins the long overdue recovery from a near depression caused by high spending liberals who have now largely been turned out, California will continue to lose jobs, businesses and high income citizens who pay the lion’s share of taxes.  It is difficult to see how the current line up of democrats in the state could possibly turn this around.  Their policies are simply not designed to rescue a flailing economy, reform an education system that is failing at every level from K through 16, and prevent sanctuary cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles from going the way of third world countries.  Oh, for the halcyon (see WOW) days of Ronald Reagan, S. I. Hayakawa and Max Rafferty! 

Note: 

S.I. Hayakawa was an English professor and semanticist at San Francisco State University who served as a conservative Republican Senator from California from 1977 to 1983.  Yes, you read that correctly.  He was a professor and he was from San Francisco and he was a conservative!

Max Rafferty was the Superintendent of Public Instruction for California from 1963 to 1971.  He was a conservative who presided over the golden years of education in California.
