I was contemplating breaking with GOP and joining the Libertarians in the November election. However, that’s not a fair move considering Mitt Romney doesn’t have the Presidency nor does the GOP have the Senate. Make no mistake, this Obamacare ruling is the conclusion of the Progressives takeover of this nation.
In 1912 the evil and vile human slime KKK White Supremacist, Woodrow Wilson, was elected President. He set off a chain of events both domestically and internationally that has led to the current mess. With the exceptions of the Presidencies of Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, the Progressive agenda has been advanced. Democrats such as FDR, LBJ, Carter and Caligula (Obama) have been joined by Republicans like Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush who appointed that quisling John Roberts, and have advanced the Progressive agenda. Make no mistake, both parties are Progressive.
Now however the Republicans claim to be Conservatives. They claim that they have learned their lessons and if given total power, will govern as Conservatives. One reason to doubt it is the fact the Republicans shoved Rockefeller Progressive Republican 2 face jerk Mitt Romney down our throats. They claim that he’s electable and that’s the best the GOP could do. I think this is hogwash, but it is what it is. Well lets use the Progressive Republicans to defeat the Marxist Democrats.
Make no mistake, I hate both parties with every fiber of my bone. To be fair there are some Republicans like Allen West whom I respect and support. I am 36 going on 37 and with the exception of the great Ronald Reagan, the last 2 Republican Presidents where Liberal failures. The Republicans of this era used social issues to mask their Progressive Leftist agenda. Too many sincere Conservatives who were upset about the Left’s attack on the culture were used and didn’t realize the GOP’s real agenda. The culture wars were to distract from their Progressive economic/fiscal agenda. That said, by voting in the Republicans and Romney, we eliminate the Democrats. Then the GOP will have no excuse, it’s put up or shut up. I am not a party loyalist. I am a Patriot and put my country over some party loyalty.
If the Republicans do what they usually do and try to distract Conservatives with culture wars while maintaining the Progressive Regime, then its will be time to destroy them. So I will vote against Obama and the Democrats by using Romney and the Republicans. Let me make this clear, I do not support nor trust Mitt Romney. This is just a matter of getting rid of the Democrats and their fake Pharaoh. Then with the GOP in charge, if they don’t repeal Obamcare, decide to nation build in Syria, don’t implement tax and regulatory reform I will go full barrel at these phonies.
In the meantime I will concentrate my fire on the false messiah wannabe Caligula we have running this nation. I will not be a cheerleader for the Republican though. If given total power and the Republican don’t deliver it will be time for Conservatives of all stripes to destroy the Republican Party. This is their final chance and warning. I will not be alone in going after these phonies if they don’t deliver. My future has been robbed and my patience is limited.
If you wonder why I doubt the Republican Party and Romney here is a thought. Has the GOP ever repealed a Progressive program? Nope, they usually just claim to manage it better. David Frum, who is one of the elites of the Republicans, is even bragging they will not repeal Obama.
The Republican Plan B is to repeal Obamacare on Day 1 of a Romney presidency.
Good luck with that.
First, today’s Supreme Court decision will make it a lot harder to elect Mitt Romney. President Obama has just been handed a fearsome election weapon. 2012 is no longer exclusively a referendum on the president’s economic management. 2012 is now also a referendum on Mitt Romney’s healthcare plans. The president can now plausibly say that a vote for the Republicans is a vote to raise prescription drug costs on senior citizens and to empower insurance companies to deny coverage to children for per-existing conditions. Those charges will hurt—and maybe hurt enough to sway the election.
Don’t think David Frum is talking crap. This is the GOP elite’s thinking.
It’s put up or shut up time for the Republican Party and Mitt Romney. If they deliver, I will do a post admitting I am wrong and praising them. If they don’t then Conservatives must consider alternatives.
Mitt Romney and the Republican Party have been put on notice. Its put up and deliver or you are the next target for the Right’s wrath!
Glenn beck expresses how I feel.
Bonus: Ace of Spades expresses my sentiments.
Dear GOP,
This is your last chance. If you blow this, I’m out and you need to be destroyed.
What is it? Repeal ObamaCare on Day 1. Don’t worry about replace, don’t worry about anything else. We will do everything we have to drag your sorry asses over the line this fall, including electing Mitt Fucking Romney.
As you see, I am not alone on this.
Update: I deleted Michael Savage’s accusations of Roberts’ Epilepsy possibly effecting his judgement. People here who are epileptic or in the medical field have said Savage is full of of crap. I apologize for this, it was out of ignorance. But I stand by the rest of my post.

I appreciate the frustration, but conservatives leaving the Republican Party to find a new home, elsewhere, is suicide. Reagan wasn’t elected because the country was suddenly crawling with conservatives, he was elected because he formed a coalition of disparate groups, not all of which were necessarily “conservative”. A conservative breakaway from the Republicans is the Democrats’ fondest wish, just as a far Leftist breakaway from the Democrat Party is the Republicans’ fondest wish.

I have Partial Epilepsy, take meds for it, and I find the Savage’s assumption of cognition problems to be offensive in the extreme. He’s no MD, certainly not a neurologist and diagnosis from the TV (I doubt he’s ever been in the same building as Roberts) is only done my fools.

All that said, at some point we all must choose sides. The Republican Party is far more ideologically diverse than the Democrats could ever hope to be. Sure, Dems will grouse but, in the end, they present a united front and support their candidate. Conversely, Republicans rip each other apart in ideological arguments, there are permanent fissures between disparate groups and eventual “full-throated support” can never be assumed. That’s commendable, but successful politics is more about ideological coalitions than ideological purity. In short, if you can’t win elections, it’s all no more than intellectual masturbation.
Jon Anderson, Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, George Wallace, all drank the Third Party Kool-Aid and affected the party that, had they not been so arrogant, would have come closest to representing their views. Ross Perot was likely responsible for electing Bill Clinton.
No one likes to admit that, while the company they keep is less than stellar, they really have no where else to go, but that’s basically where we’re at. Yeah, a lot of ‘em are assholes, but they’re our assholes and, in the end, our assholes are preferable to their assholes. We can primary out the assholes and, in those rare cases where a Democrat may actually be more conservative than the Republican, we can vote for them.
Just my two cents….
The Left is insane.
Ignoring reality.
Just like Holder saying he’s just gonna “go back to work.”
Don’t like reality? Ignore it!

I think problem is that Republicans tried to pull the wool over people’s eyes with their Culture War crap. They would bitch about Gays, TV movies, Rap Music and other things to appear Conservative. In other words the GOP was Conservative in the wrong area.
On the Economic/Fiscal front they were no different than Democrats. They expanded government, imposed new regulations and propped up the Progressive state. Now many Conservatives have realized the Con game and are angry. The Republicans also said vote for them for Supreme Court justices. Time and time again, Republican appointed judges sided with the Left. Yesterday Roberts did the ultimate betrayal. He voted for a Socialist state.
Many Conservatives don’t trust the Republicans no more. I decided to vote for them this election to remove the Democrats. But if the GOP doesn’t deliver something has to change. If the Party doesn’t repeal Obamacare and reform our archaic Tax/Regulatory structure, then what’s the point of their existence?
I believe in Free Markets. If the Republican don’t deliver on the service they promise, then as a customer I have to go elsewhere. I am not alone in this sentiment.
Something has to give we are on a unsustainable course.

As for “On the Economic/Fiscal front they were no different than Democrats”, I would disagree. We wouldn’t be going through this Health Care debacle had McCain been elected nor would we have the first AG to be found in criminal and civil contempt of Congress.
Sorry, but conservatives who “don’t trust Republicans” would be better served making changes within the party than going off on a Don Quixote-like quest for a more conservative party -- that adventure is by no means assured success and even failure will be decades in the making.

It’s also a false dichotomy. Most social issues have economic ramifications.

Ok, I’ve heard a lot of people rant and rave about how John Roberts betrayed America yesterday. I’ve also read quite a few opinions to the contrary.
What exact did John Roberts decide yesterday.
Well for starters, he kneecapped Wickard v. Filburn, the Supreme Court Ruling that has been used since 1942 to allow the Federal Government via the Commerce Clause to regulate pretty much anything they wanted to. Justices Scalia’s dissent makes it indisputably clear that that was the intent of the Court.
Then their is the inconvenient fact that the Obama Administration had made it 100 percent perfectly clear that they had every intention of issuing Executive Orders that would have done an end run around any Ruling made by the supreme Court to overtly strike down the Affordable Care Act.
Justices Robert’s ruling made it impossible for the Obama Administration to pull an end run around the Courts ruling. Furthermore, his ruling, by legally defining the Affordable Care Act as taxation legislation kicked the Affordable Care Act back to where it can be congress where it can be repealed under reconciliation procedural rules.
Unlike most of us, House Majority Whip Eric Cantor apparently saw this coming because he introduced legislation less than an hour after the SCOTUS Ruling came out that will do exactly that. On July 11th the House will vote to kill the Affordable Care Act using reconciliation procedural rules, which means, it will only require 51 votes to kill.
So, what did Justice Roberts do yesterday.
His ruling made it impossible for Obamacare to be mandated using the Commerce Clause. It forced the Affordable Care Act back in front of the House on reconciliation procedural rules. It prevented Obama from issuing Executive Orders to implement Obamacare in defiance of the Supreme Court. It forced the Obama Administration to acknowledge that the Affordable Care Act was the single largest tax increase in America’s history.
Now I know that some of you are going to continue hypercritically ranting and raving about how Justice Roberts betrayed America like petulant children. Whatever, ranting and raving in anger and ignorance seems to be a favorite sport for some of you.

It only takes 51 votes to repeal Obamacare. It only takes 51 votes to reform our tax code. It only takes 51 votes to change our regulatory structure. This can be accomplished in the first 6 months of a Romney Administration.
Anything else in regards to pursing the Progressives, will take decades. But movement on Obacare and Fiscal/Economic matters can happen faster.

I never bought more house or car than I could afford, bought the 401Ks and basically lived my life in accordance with “the rules”.
By 2004, I was downsized as the economy contracted upon the post 9/11 bubble-burst. I was 50, with a stellar work record, three decades of experience and discovered I was virtually unemployable. After a few months of unemployment, I found an entry-level position for a small fraction of my previous salary (and almost the same as I was getting from Unemployment) and I was fortunate enough to use my skills and experience to rise to a management level (over the course of years), but the progress for which I sacrificed years of single-minded dedication was gone. I had some health difficulties thereafter which further mucked up the works, but that’s just attributable to “shit happens”.
Yeah man, I can “grasp” it. The point is that we all need to play the hand we’ve been dealt, quit whining, confederate with even distantly “like minds” and make incremental progress.

It was a loss no matter how much some are spinning it. It was a defeat and now we have to remove the god-king and put the fear of God in Romney/Republicans to undue this.

That’s only part of what needs to be done. Like I said above, you don’t like the corrupt GOP, then run for office and replace one of those Corrupt son of a bitches. And if you can’t run for office yourself, find someone who isn’t corrupt who is running and push them over the finish line. We win this one way and one way only, from the bottom up. We need to take a page out of the Ronulans play book.
Their impact the last 8 years has been massively disproportionate to their actual numbers. Learn the rules, seize the trenches and never assume that anyone else is going to do the hard work.
You complain that conservative candidates never get elected. They don’t get elected, not because the majority refuses to vote for them but because their is a process by which they are nominated, one that the Ronulans recognized and have gone after, and those who currently control that nomination process do not want conservative candidates.
So conservative are not getting elected because they are not making it through the nomination process. They aren’t making it through the nomination process because liberals and progressives have infiltrated the steering committees.
The TEA Party people are slowly taking back the steering committees, the local election boards, lower elected offices. Like coldwarrior said, we are 3 years into a fight that will take our entire lives to win. We only win it from the ground up. We win it from the ground up, by taking control of the party at the local level.

Taxes are inherently Constitutional as long as they’re levied by Congress. That they did not call it a tax is immaterial, that’s between Congress and the People and, thus, it’s a political question and not a Constitutional one.

I know someone who worked on maintaining the F-117s at Holloman before they were retired.
He said that they actually machined most of their own repair parts onsite, because it was easier and cheaper than having parts made for such a small number of planes.
I’m sure the B-52 (and the B-2) are the same.
@ Da_Beerfreak:
I wonder what percentage of the original parts are even left in them?
Rodan wrote:
Why didn’t the mandate stand as a mandate… Because the Roberts Court kneecapped Wickard v. Filburn, they placed a limitation on the Commerce Clause. They said in plan straight forward language that the government can never require a citizen to purchase a product or service.
Yes, they affirmed already well established Constitutional precedent, that Congress has the Constitutional authority to levee taxes. Congress has had that authority since 1789. So the Roberts Court didn’t give the Obama Administration anything that they didn’t already have.
Basically, hard as it is for some to grasp, Justice Roberts out maneuvered the Obama Administration. Now it is up to the America People to take the weapon the Roberts Court gave them and use it to bludgeon Obama and the Affordable Care Act to death with it.
OK, I have to go out and
drink some beerwork on a race car, ya’ll keep fighting over this…I have to get up for work in a few hours, so I’m out, too.

Not many I’ll bet. Last upgrade I read about for the B-52 was a new set of four engines to replace the old setup of eight engines they have been using since day one. the new engines are suppose to be easier to maintain and more fuel efficient. It’s a lot of work but still cheaper then a new bomber.

way late to the party as usual but i’m not about to let this BS slither past
you can’t be serious. there are epileptics all around you. most of them you are completely unaware of their issue. are you saying their cognition is affected by epilepsy meds??? are you? i call BS.
i can’t believe you said this crap. you and Mike Savage are full of crap! and coldwarrior is right -- Mike Savage is an idiot with no credibility. i have listened to his show which consists of “ME! ME! ME! LOOK AT ME! I’M FANTASTIC! I’M SMARTER THAN YOU! I’M RICH! I’M A SUCCESS! I’M BETTER THAN EVERYBODY” that’s it. useless BS just like this stupid, extremely offensive post. this is unfreaking believable.
yeah, i’m disgusted.
@ Kirly:
I’ve listened to Michael Savage off and on for a few years. He’s really starting to lose it….

It went to July 11th 2012. What Eric Cantor is talking about is preventing Obama and the Marxist democrats of repackaging this over and over and over until they finally get it through. They are going to kill Obamacare on July 11th, but Obama can veto their bill, and the whole fight will start all over again. That’s why Cantor is saying we have to get Obama out of office to end this Obamacare BS.

@ Kirly:
Note this part from the actual post:
I tried to make that point, above, yet it was not addressed. As an epileptic, I’m a bit distressed that this shit not been deleted and an apology offered in its stead. Then again, we epileptics have unstable minds, I suppose.
The over-the-top bombast from friggin’ Admins on this site is really unacceptable and reflects poorly on everyone. Opinions are one thing, indiscriminate bullshit flinging is quite another.
@ MacDuff:
did i not clearly voice my objection?
i thought i did.
was i not very clear? dont lump me into this.
I’m taking a time-out. I’ll return when the epilepsy bullshit in this post is deleted and replaced with a general apology to epileptics.

Absolutely I did not lump you in! The responsibility is with the poster…alone.

@ Kirly:
Check the Update. I don’t know much about Epilepsy and the people here said Savage was full of crap. So my apologies
That said I stand by the rest of my post.
@ MacDuff:
I didn’t see that since we were discussing the case. If I had seen it, I would have did the update earlier.
But I stand by the rest of my post,m which even if you disagree with is like you said opinion.

Thank you, apology accepted.

I really didn’t see the complaints and never would have posted it if I had known the facts.

, but I’ve never considered you cruel. We’re good. BTW, you should look into people in history who’ve suffered from epilepsy, it’s illuminating.
Have a pleasant afternoon!

@ Carolina Girl:
@ MacDuff:
Savage started off the show asking, as many were, how Roberts could have ruled as he did ? He mentioned the NYT’s article (below link) -- also adding that he thought this article/author was despicable for its intent (to block appoint. or use to remove him later):
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/01/health/01seizure.html?_r=3&src=tp
But then he asked the question of anticonvulsants meds. -- could they cause cognitive ability/memory issues ?
He told a story about having had lunch earlier in the day with a prominent Neurologist who had assured him these meds could have such effects.
There was a time when people believed that epilepsy was a form of insanity. Savage did not go there, he was very clear saying that he was sympathetic to anyone/Roberts having to deal with the condition and that a person having epilepsy was not a reason to put them down. He did however eventually say he was sure that the meds. had effected Roberts reasoning as he could think of no other explanation other than Roberts being intimidated or black mailed by O or the meds.
I’m NOT defending the Savage show here … IMHO, hes a know it all, loud mouthed, blow hard. I just want to re assure those here with epilepsy that you don’t have a talk show host reviving that old myth about epilepsy and he was not slamming people who have epilepsy -- quite the opposite really. I listened very carefully to what he said having spent the 1st decade of a 3 decade career, in part, educating people about the truth/myths of epilepsy. I understand why those here who have the Dx are concerned, upset etc. but the truth of the matter is that it is a valid question.
Now for him to say that he KNOWS that the meds affected Roberts decision is another matter.
I used to listen to him for his stories about growing up in NYC having lived in the are myself as a kid and around the same time as he. As for the rest … I remember hucksters and 3 card monte dealers too
It wasn’t the Republicans who shoved Mitt down our throats. It was the mainstream media, who did everything they could to sabotage every Republican candidate other than Romney.
