Federal debt is skyrocketing, Detroit is crumbling, Russia and China’s military are surging, and somewhere Osama bin Laden is smiling.

Whatever happened to being proud to be an American? Well it looks like it was shot in the heart during the congressional elections in 2006, and the death certificate was issued in November 2008. Obama is telling other countries we are to blame (for what?), and he wants to appease and apologize to our enemies as well as allies. The members who sit on the Obama Politburo, Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, Kennedy, Frank, Waters (well just take your pick of any Democratic member of Congress), are setting us on the path of socialism. The far left, communists, socialist, hard core liberals have been expanding their power within the Democratic Party for years and now they have the monopoly; so why don’t they just call it what it is the American Socialist Party?

Obama Politburo in its first 100 days has successfully increased the federal deficit twofold, with his massive pork barrel programs which will fail like FDR’s New Deal (which is going bankrupt) and LBJ’s Great Society, need I say more? Obama has forced the CEO of General Motors to step down, siding with the UAW so as not to allow the auto companies to void the union contracts which got them into the mess in the first place. Which subsequently forces GM and Chrysler to file bankruptcy; having to cut their businesses by a third causing the unemployment of 30,000 to 100,000 more people in dealerships across the country which does not have protection from the UAW. So what about their jobs? Obama doesn’t care the middle class does not have lobbyists fighting for them, but the UAW does.

It is reported that Russia is having a military surge and China is expanding their already formidable military. While the USA has over 700 military bases around the world and is looked on by the United Nations as their supplier of funding and troops that will actually fight! We need to shut down our bases overseas and bring all those troops home. Keep fighting the war in Afghanistan and looks like Pakistan now too, and strengthen our defenses. We need to go back to being a country of defense, not offense.

When the troops come home we need them to help secure our border with Mexico. The illegal immigration problem is a ghastly expense to the taxpayer and it needs to be stopped. Most major cities do not enforce laws against legal immigration, because the liberals say it is not “politically correct” and forces the police chiefs to go along with their ridiculous ideology. This is a travesty to our system of laws and needs to stop.

We are told it is unfair to torture terrorists, but where is the outrage when they kill innocent American civilians, decapitate American journalists, and threaten to destroy our way of life?
Nancy Pelosi states the CIA lies repeatedly to Congress, but is being caught only in her own lies.

Wake up America and see that the Democratic Party is only taking away your freedoms, going to tax this country into oblivion and destroy our Republic. Rome fell because of costly taxes, and trying to hold a world empire, don’t let America go the way of Rome!

Osama bin Laden is smiling somewhere

Come One, Come All, Illegally That Is!

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that America's "insatiable" demand for illegal drugs and inability to stop weapons smuggling into Mexico are fueling an alarming spike in violence along the U.S.-Mexican border". Also on Tuesday Obama said that he wanted the U.S. to do more to prevent guns and cash from illicit drug sales from flowing across the border into Mexico.

So they say the border should be more secure against drugs and guns. Well what about the people who bring those drugs and guns here to the U.S.? That's right folks the illegal aliens; when are we going to crack down on them crossing the border? When are we going to stop the tidal wave and send them back south? The illegals come here, take jobs (most live off the state) don't want to learn English, and get a free pass from the government. Now some states even allow them to get grant money for college! When is this blatant disregard for our laws going to end?

The current administration is a joke and is failing measurably to curtail any of this. Nancy Pelosi stated to her constituents “that breaking into this country made them heroes, patriots, and any attempt to try to enforce the law was anti-American” . She is our Speaker of the House! This is down right a slap in the face to hard working middle class Americans. Stand up and fight back my friends; that is the only way to beat the far left in our government. Speak up, often and loudly, never cease!

Let's get tough on this migration through our un-secure border! Enough is Enough!

God be with us all,

Conservatives Wake Up!

I'll tell you what most people are so mis-informed it is crazy. Alot of it has to do with perception and the way the Dems run their campaign.

Here is a case in point. I have just recently decided to move back to CO from MI. A few months back I left a message at the the local Young Republican office in the area I lived in MI offering to volunteer with anything they would need. Never got a response. Two weeks before I left for CO, called and left a message at the local Young Republican chapter and left the same message. As of today no response. I did the same thing with the Dems just to see what would happen. They both got back to me within 24 hours! This is a huge problem.

The Republicans need to enlist those who want to help them. Our whole party needs to be revamped and we need to start now! The 2010 congressional elections are just as, if not more, important. If the Dems pick up more seats we are in serious trouble. So what do we do?

The Democrats are radicals. Well this last election made me a radical too. I idly sat by for years, now I will sit no longer. I'm going to the Young Republican chapter in Colorado next week and will break the damn door down if I have too. We need to get the word out beginning now!

The media is for the most part against us. The youth doesn't listen to AM radio with Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. What do they look at? Well besides MTV, they are on the internet Myspace, Facebook etc. They are in college campuses dotted across the country. I will use this forum to get out the word online. I live in Boulder County not far from Boulder proper and the University of Colorado is centered there. It is so liberal they call it the "Berkley of the mountains". Well I will recruit kids in the college to help get the word out. I will be ridiculed and ostracized, but I will fight.

I know the Republicans in this area aren't doing shit. The Democrats are constantly protesting,complaining and getting their voices heard. We need to constantly talk and let our voices be heard as well.

When I get settled better here I will be able to formulate some guidelines of ideas to help move forward. As of now would just appreciate any ideas you may have to help get the word out. I am an intelligent man, but I need the input of other minds to formulate a winning strategy. Apart we are weak, together we are strong!

God be with us all,
Terry

Grassroots Conservatism

I will be returning in December to the very liberal Boulder. The goal for my return is to start formulating a grassroots conservative campaign. Have spoken with a few conservative friends who will assist me and will be joining the Colorado Federation of Young Republicans. The “silent majority” should be silent no more. We need to fight to win.

American Conservatism has been ridiculed and beat down by the “mainstream” media. It is now time to move forward into the 21st century with new tactics to get the word out. The liberals garnered a majority by specifically targeting on the fence conservative districts, and winning. This brought the fight to our back door. It is time we take the fight to theirs. I believe getting the youth vote is an important step in that direction. By targeting universities and the internet, mainly the youth websites Myspace, Facebook, etc., is a step we must take. These are truly very liberal bastions of security for the Democratic Party.

Let's show them what freedom is all about. When the framers of our constitution convened to come up with that beautiful doctrine of liberty, they would be disappointed at how the left has twisted and taken away many of our freedoms. Many examples can be brought forward. The First Amendment is trampled on everytime someone brings up the mantra of “political correctness”. This is a form of silencing our freedom of speech. The Second Amendment clearly states our right to bear arms “shall not be infringed”. How can that be so misinterpreted by the left? They have slowly been taking our freedoms away. This is just a few examples of hundreds of things the liberals have done to take away our rights as citizens of this once great country. It will only get worse the longer the far left have control of our government. The framers were influenced greatly by the 18th century French political scientist Charles de Montesquieu. He believed that liberty is essential to happiness and must be preserved by limiting the powers of government. This is a truth we need to stand by.

I will fight in one of the most liberal areas in the western region. I will be ridiculed, and ostracized, but I will keep on fighting. The more I talk the more people will listen. It will be a long battle, but I refuse to give up for what I know is right. Join with me and other like minded and fight in your local districts for the true conservative change which this country needs. By standing together we will prevail.

God be with us all!

Where Have All The Conservatives Gone?

In 1994 the conservative movement gained tremendous momentum and retook the majority in the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Led by congressman Newt Gingrich, the conservatives released a document titled “Contract with America”. The contract was revolutionary in its commitment to offering specific legislation for a vote, describing in detail the precise plan of the Congressional Representatives. Furthermore, its provisions represented the view of many conservative Republicans on the issues of shrinking the size of government, promoting lower taxes, greater entrepreneurial activity, welfare and balancing the federal budget. Republicans thus were able to retake the House and the contract was seen as a major triumph for the American conservative movement. So much could have been accomplished (somethings were), but of course Clinton vetoed most of what was put forth by the Republicans and we were not strong enough, at that time, to override an executive veto.

A couple years later Newt Gingrich was out and the Republicans took the reigns in congress and set aside true conservatism. The federal government expanded at an alarming rate. Barry Goldwater warned us back in the early 1990's that the Republican party was moving away from conservatism. One faction trying hard to appease the Democrats. The other faction moving for pushing Judeo-Christian principles into government and trying to break the separation of church and state. This is a lesson we can learn from and not make this mistake again. So much could have been done and the Republicans destroyed the chance we had.

Flash forward to 2008. The Democrats have re-taken both houses of congress and now we have a socialist who will be president. We have moved farther left then any other time in our history (even more so then in the reign of FDR). The conservative movement has stalled and needs to revitalize it's energies for the fight before us, but who will lead the way?

Now it is time to rebuild and get our agenda straight. Conservatives need a new agenda to be brought out nationwide for the 2010 congressional elections. We should start now coming up with the ideas that need to be put forth for this next coming election. The question being how best to organize and move forward? I believe we need a strong grassroots network with a set agenda we can use in our battle and the leaders that care about conservatism and not more Washington insiders. This will probably be a long fight and we need some real change. Many (not all) Republicans in congress have appeased the Democrats and moved away from our conservative beliefs. We need to rally behind the conservatives left and look for new leaders for the future.

Give me your feedback and let's come up with our agenda for 2010.

We need leaders!

Let The Big Three File Bankruptcy

The Big Three have shot themselves in the foot. Mainly by the fault of the greedy people who work there (executives and unions, you are both to blame). The executive bonuses, for doing what? Helping send the companies down the drain! The union job bank (basically union members still get their wages even if they are not actually working) what a joke! All you are to blame.

The execs needed acountability and the unions need to negotiate and realize they can no longer be paying assembly linemen big wages in a dying industry. The United Auto Workers president Ron Gettelfinger stated today that they will not give up anymore concessions! This is unacceptable and the UAW expect my tax dollars to pay their wages! I'm sure the federal government will ask for concessions from the executives of the Big Three and will get them. So the unions should give concessions as well.

The Japanese, Korean and European carmarkers are only surviving because they don't have the same regulations working against them that the Big 3 have, notably unionization. Let them all declare bankruptcy and kick the un-productive management and union out. Then the strong will survive. We do not need government meddling anymore in paying the wages of private industry. This is ludicrious and not what this country was founded on. The buyouts, the exec bonuses need to all cease now! You want to save your industry with tax dollars!

My father owned his own auto repair shop in Detroit, MI for 20 years and never had any benefits and never made more than 60K a year. He owns a house here in Michigan and a house in Colorado in the mountains (which is where my parents live now and where I grew up) and several investment properties. He never made much and was smart with his money, and that is responsible. If he only had a $100k buyout he could make it into a million in 5 years.

This all comes down to fiscal responsibilty, to which I have noticed in my time here in MI is quite lacking here. Most of you seem to blame all your problems on others, (I ought to know my business has picked up with union workers who are far behind on their taxes).

Take responsibilty for your own actions and move on. Let the Big 3 file bankruptcy and leave my tax dollars out of it.

God be with us all!

Talk Radio "Fairness Doctrine"

The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Basically it meant that radio stations had to have equal time for all points of view. It was repealed by the FCC in 1987.

The FCC stated,

"the intrusion by government into the content of programming occasioned by the enforcement of [the Fairness Doctrine] restricts the journalistic freedom of broadcasters ... [and] actually inhibits the presentation of controversial issues of public importance to the detriment of the public and the degradation of the editorial prerogative of broadcast journalists,"

and suggested that, because of the many media voices in the marketplace, the doctrine be deemed unconstitutional.

After the repeal of the doctrine Conservative radio audiences skyrocketed, led by Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk radio hosts. Radio has been the one area where conservatives can really get their voices heard.

Many high ranking democrats such as house speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator John Kerry, and Al Gore want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine. Editorials in The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Times have said that Democratic attempts to bring back the Fairness Doctrine have been made largely in response to and contempt for the successes of conservative talk radio.

Most talk radio stations have a conservative format and they make a nice profit. There has been some attempts to make liberal radio talk show stations (Air America) and they have met with little success. Now if the conservative stations have to cut their broadcasting in half to give equal time to liberals then they will more then likely lose money. This is common sense folks. No one says they can't have liberal stations, just don't tell the stations how they have to be formatted.

In the 109th Congress (2005-2007) the Dems had tried to get legislation passed to re-instate the Fairness Doctrine. It did not pass. The worry is what will happen now with the current makeup of congress and with Obama supporting the bill which he would almost certainly sign?

So if they pass this legislation it would only be fair that they should pass Fairness Doctrines in all forms of media. The television news stations would then have to have equal time for Republicans and Democrats. I really don't think the Dem's would do that. I just don't see them wanting to give up their liberal stranglehold on media outlets. The fact is they won't. This is just another way for the liberals to try and silence any opposition.

Get the message out on this very important piece of legislation. They should not try to silence us!

God be with us all!
