                                                      RINO's Belong in the Zoo

Unemployment  went past ten percent.  It seems the stimulus numbers from the government covering
jobs- saved or created- are bogus.  Unemployment is 10% and
rising.  The monetary bubble that has
been devaluing our currency is going to blow.  The GDP numbers while lauded by the press are not
valid either.  So it is with great relief that Nancy Pelosi, or Barack Obama, depending on who wants
the credit, got the health care reform bill passed in the House.  

Why stagger along with an ailing economy when you can kill it straight out and put it out of its misery?  
For that is what is going to happen.  If the measure gets through the Senate then the only thing left of
the corpse can be desecrated by Cap and Trade.   Meanwhile as jobs are not created, the costs of
everything is not going down, the purchasing power of the dollar is fading and people are looking for
safe commodities to try and hide whatever wealth they will be allowed to keep by the Marxists in
charge, you just gotta relax and loosen up.  No fighter ever wins tense.

Here is the scorecard at present.  President Obama did a photo op in Delaware to show he is the
Commander in Chief.  He called all the press and trooped down there to the air base as eighteen
soldiers returned in coffins.  Seventeen families would not allow him to be photographed, one did.  He
is ahead on points as the photo op was accomplished.  He does take several hits on his incoherent
statements on the Fort Hood shooting and bizarrely gives a "shout out" to the crowd.  His unwillingness
to even think about why a Muslim Major in the U.S. Army would be screaming "Allah Akbar!" while
gunning down soldiers shows his inability to command the armed forces.  He can't even choose a side.
He doesn't want our side to win.  The best outcome would be to withdraw and apologize for America.
The most shameful in his mind would be to commit and win.  That is a stain he can't live with.  
Because the Left sees America as the problem, because they see prosperity, capitalism, the family,
religion, and patriotism as the wrong, they are actively seeking to remake the nation into a socialist,
secular state as the solution.

But the national Marxist/Democrats have no organized opposition.  There are only the Republicans on
the national level who think the way to power is to offer a milder form of Marxism.  True
conservatives are not being promoted.  Instead, those outside of the party that have a popular
following, like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, and others, are demonized by
the left and disowned by the party.

The fact that is inescapable is that you have to stand for something or you stand for nothing.  The
sacred "middle ground" doesn't exist. Repeat that.  The "middle ground" doesn't exist.  A moderate is,
in fact, simply someone who is uninformed or misinformed.  An undecided voter simply means
someone who doesn't pay attention.

It is the national press and liberals who are promoting the “undecided” or “moderate” wing of the
Republican Party.  This tactic of appealing to the “moderate” voter is used by the left to split the
majority of Americans into opposing groups so they can be defeated in detail.  Liberals are deathly
afraid that the majority of Americans will suddenly wake up and become organized with a coherent
message. So they promote diversity on the “R” side of the aisle and identify and manufacture
differences to split the opposition.

The left doesn't have a big tent. That is the way to lose.  Soros knows it. Howard Dean knows it.  
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid know it.  They know it because they use it all the time effectively.  When
a politician talks about "putting partisanship aside" what they really mean is do things their way. They
don't acknowledge a middle ground at all.   Theirs is a very tight, easily definable dogma.  They don't
tolerate any variation.  The only "middle ground" to them is the "Blue Dog Democrats" supposedly
fiscal conservatism and social conservatism.  But they are wolves in sheep's clothing used to further
divide their opponents.  

When a Democrat votes against a policy the left wants, it is because they are vulnerable in their
districts and have permission do to so.  Otherwise they are tight following the party line.  Do you see
any conscientious objector rules in the health care bill? Abortion restrictions? In committee they were
voted down along party lines and the pro life provision only made it to the big bill in an amendment to
secure swing votes and the Catholic votes.  The Senate version has no such provisions so the
Democratic elite allowed it through- so they could strip it out later.  

Republicans, however, are virtuous in the eyes of the media only when they adopt the "Big Tent"
approach.  If you were a Democrat who wanted to make sure your opponent never won again, you
would come up with the "Big Tent" strategy for your opponent.  The Republicans, wanting to be liked,
like an ugly girl with the popular crowd, has signed on to this losing strategy.  This leads to the rise of
the RINO's-Republicans In Name Only. People who register as Republican but vote along liberal lines.

Here is how it works.  Say you are a radical Marxist/Socialist…sorry, "Progressive."  You head down
to the local county office and register as a Republican.  Then you have a myriad of choices.  You can
actively promote progressive choices, candidates, policies, or the big tent, while calling yourself a
"moderate" and any opposition to your view would be coming from "Right Wing Extremists." You can
form groups such as Republicans for Choice or some such other subversive group.  You can help other
progressives get elected using the “R” and keep getting elected with the tacit assistance of the left.  The
Progressives/Marxists have learned to do this right down to the local school board and town councils.  
You only notice it in the choking ineptness on display at the national level but it is at work in your
home town.

In November of 2008 the Johnson County Republicans, long split into this moderate/conservative
grouping, found itself rotten to the core.  Seventeen "Republican" precinct committee members were
not allowed to vote in the annual reorganization meeting because of their support of Democratic
candidates.  According to www.thekansasmeadowlark.com, (October 7, 2008) one of those seventeen,
Stephen Cook, had eight political signs in his yard leading up to the election.  They were for Obama
(D), Slattery (D), Moore (D), Roman (D), Neighbor (D), and Guinn (D).  The other two were for
schools and to prevent the election of judges.  Cook's wife Kathy is a Democratic Party activist.  In a
statement to Earl Glynn, the Meadowlark himself, Stephen stated he would vote only for "moderate"
Republicans.    

"Republicans for Moore" is another example of Democrats with the Republican registration.  Here they
organize for Dennis Moore for Congress.  Congressman Moore is most noted for avoiding his
constituents during the August break, and voting to pass the health care bill while also voting against
any Federal funding for abortion restrictions.  Republicans for Moore are Cook type activists that
register as Republican but are hard left to the core.  The Meadowlark indicated that 150 Republicans
for Moore later re-registered as Democrats.  

This is what happens when one races and strives to stand for nothing. Your stance can easily be co-
opted.  Expanding the Johnson County example to the larger national scene extrapolate what you find.  
A consistent tight philosophy, coordination, and implementation of progressive Marxist thought, verses
the uncoordinated and easily manipulated majority.  The Republican Party chose to become Democrat
lite while the Democrats chose to become Stalin clones.  If the Republicans ever do return to their
conservative roots, they would sweep away their opposition.

In 2008 the chosen one, liberal John McCain, was a flop. Governor Palin, demonized by the left and
the establishment Republicans, smeared by the press, stood for something like Reagan stood for
something.  She was an unashamed and proud conservative.  For her crime she has been derided as
ignorant, provincial, not ready for the big leagues, and outside the mainstream. That vitriol continues to
this day as the Left sees her as a deadly threat to their gains in power.

Across the nation the RINO's lose, the conservative Democrats (or, more accurately liberals pretending
to be conservative) win.  That is the state of our politics currently.

Now, in 2009 the 23rd District race in New York has been twisted in the press as you knew it would.
Pundits have declared this special election an example of the danger in putting up a conservative third
party candidate when in reality the establishment Republican candidate actually got 5%.  When all the
absentee votes are finally counted, it may be that Hoffman won, or nearly won.  How can the press get
it so wrong?
Because they want to! The fact is, the people wanted a conservative and the Republican
machine offered a liberal.  The third party candidate got almost more votes than either national party.  
The Democratic candidate ran as a conservative, former Air Force Captain, and local job creator.  But
as soon as he was sworn in he voted to nationalize a sixth of the economy and put you in prison for
five years if you don’t get health insurance.  What a surprise.

The Marxists with their coordinated message and the RINO's with their incoherent one, are working
hand in hand to continue the destruction of the nation as it was designed and operated for over two
hundred years.  The people are holding tea parties and between Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh the
people have a voice on the national level, but it isn’t nearly enough.

We have been calling for a new factual press since the 2006 elections- a press that will ask the tough
questions and fair and factual ones.  We are still calling.  The American people do not want Socialism,
Marxism, or a lighter version of slavery offered by RINO's. The New York 23rd race proves that
without question. They want limited government, limited taxes, and freedom to be prosperous.

That freedom and self determination isn’t being offered by the Democratic Party. As for their
opposition, the Republican Party, they will either wise up and embrace conservatism and stand for
something, or continue with their rush to the middle ground that doesn’t exist and keep pursuing the
RINO big circus tent that spells failure.  RINO's belong in the zoo, not in a political party that wants to
have power in America.
