I was just going to post this link on another thread, but this is way too good and important for a quick hit and run. This is how the press works. They like to parade a line of “Republicans” to the public to attack and discredit the rest of the party. This is why change is so hard to do from within. We have these enemies within the party. The elites. The people who basically agree with everything the Democrats want, they just have a different timetable. The clowns who are willing to destroy the party for their own gain, so they can keep attending all the press parties and socialite gatherings. Then we get hit from the other side from Republicans who decide that for some reason, their personal opinion on moral and religious issues should be spoken as if they are going to come down on anyone who violates these issues. If they aren’t false flag plants in the party, then they are sure as hell missing their calling.
This article deals with the first kind of Republican traitor. The Republican concern troll. You can always identify them by this phrase “I am a Republican but…”.
Bozell: The Media’s Favorite Fake Republicans
The Republican Party is desperately in need of some good advice. It needs to return to Ronald Reagan conservatism and give America a two-party system, not a tinny echo of Obama. But our liberal media keep desperately inviting fake Republicans to offer advice to the GOP.
They want to create a new Republican Party, one that rejects the principles of the man who championed freedom.
Exhibit A: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The Jan. 14 Washington Post insisted on the front page: “Bloomberg wants change in the GOP.” Post reporter Jason Horowitz noted, “America’s most prominent and deep pocketed advocate for gun control would rather rehabilitate Republicans than oust them.”
What? Republicans are criminals in need of rehabilitation? The analogies get worse. Supporting the Bill of Rights is like supporting … segregation and slavery. Democrats don’t like Bloomberg trying to reform Republicans instead of defeat them, reported Horowitz. But “Bloomberg counters that just as Democrats were once the party of slavery and segregation, the pro-gun GOP is now ripe for moderation.”
The new Republican Party is always “ripe for moderation” — overripe to the point of turning moldy and smelly, like a forgotten fruit in the back of your refrigerator.
In the same story, Horowitz quotes Bloomberg as saying, “You have to change the people in the House,” and reports Bloomberg wants to use his new super PAC to run ads against Second Amendment defenders: “This guy or woman is in favor of leaving guns in the hands of crazy people who can kill your kids.”
Please remember this is the same “moderate” Bloomberg who journalists hailed for a “No Labels” campaign for civility in government.
Exhibit B: Colin Powell, who voted for Obama twice, but still insists he’s a Reagan Republican. Indeed, since becoming a Republican, all he’s done is criticize the GOP. NBC brought him on “Meet the Press” to declare, “If it’s just going to represent the far right-wing of the political spectrum, I think the Party is in difficulty. I’m a moderate but I’m still a Republican.”
Powell thinks he’s a Republican, and the GOP has an “identity problem.” But the “identity problem” is Powell’s — voting for Obama is neither Republican nor “moderate.” Today’s Republican establishment isn’t to the right of Reagan. It is to the left of the man who won one of the largest landslides in history with an unequivocal conservative agenda.
NBC host David Gregory at least suggested to Powell he wasn’t very Republican before cuing up his endless 600-plus-word answer. But he offered no challenge as Powell attacked the “dark vein of intolerance” coming from Sarah Palin and other conservatives. Powell lashed into Palin for saying Obama was “shucking and jiving” on Benghazi, but he said nothing about Biden insisting Republicans want blacks “back in chains.” Powell voted for Biden, twice, too.
In the next segment, Gregory turned Powell’s indictment on former RNC chairman Haley Barbour: “He talks about a deep vein of intolerance within the Party. How did that sit with you?” Barbour not only failed to defend today’s GOP on racism, he repeated that Powell the Obama Voter fits in the Republican “mainstream.” Worse yet, Gregory asked Republican consultant Mike Murphy: “You’ve had a lot of these similar critiques. Your thoughts about Colin Powell this morning?”
Murphy said he was happy to hear Powell’s “still a Republican,” and “I’d invite him to come back home and help us modernize and strengthen the party. We could use him.”
Mike Murphy and his friends in the media are on the very same page: To “modernize” the Republican Party is to put conservatism through a shredder. On NBC back in November, Murphy warned if “we don’t modernize conservatism, we can go extinct … We’ve got to get kind of a party view of America that’s not right out of Rush Limbaugh’s dream journal.”
By the by, how does one “modernize” principles?
Limbaugh’s dream is Reagan’s dream. You can’t be against Rush and for Reagan.
In 2004, these same TV “news” people denounced Sen. Zell Miller for ripping his former party at the GOP convention. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell denounced him for “a red meat speech, in fact a raw meat speech, which in fact misstates a lot of Kerry’s record.” On ABC, George Stephanopoulos whined, “Zell Miller was on a tirade. I mean, he was red faced, red meat for the red states.” On MSNBC, both Chris Matthews and David Gergen compared Miller to “axe wielding segregationist” Democrat Lester Maddox.
Our transparently partisan media elite believes only one party should be embarrassed for its alleged extremism. Only one party must moderate or die. The Republicans must always move left. The liberal media is always holding up a plastic cup of “compromise” Kool-Aid and demanding the GOP drink up. Republicans should listen to this advice, knowing the correct response is always to do the opposite.

John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Richard Lugar, Chuck Hagel, Scott Brown -- all are the type of Republicans that the media loves, until (like McCain) they run against a Democrat.
@ Speranza:
And the people of Arizona are forced to re-elect السناتور ماكين, lest they put in a Demo☭rat.
To me Bozell really blew it out of the water with this one. He’s expressing what has really been bothering me about the republicans the last couple years. Now the question is: how many are just idiots, how many are doing this for political gain, and how many are actual liberal plants.
I just sent Mitch McConnell an email today telling him I’m tired of Republicans rolling over to Obama, the Democrats and the Media like a bunch of whipped dogs, to hold the line against Harry Reid’s attempts to scuttle the filibuster and to stop any Democrat efforts at gun control. We’ll see how that goes.
@ The Osprey:
I love sending emails to my senators. /
Actually it pisses me off, I send them a well thought out email with all my points laid out logically. What do I get for an answer? A fucking form letter, none of which have actually addressed anything I have stated in my letter. I don’t know what pinheads are in charge of answering these, but I have yet to get a reply even vaguely connected to the issues I was asking about.
@ Mars:
I sent an actual letter to Clinton once. I don’t remember what it was about, but I got a form letter back “thanking me for my support” on whatever issue it was.
I’m pretty sure they didn’t even read it, because I opposed their position.

IT’s been bothering me since ‘W’ was elected. At first I thought he would make a fine conservative president, but after his capitulation to the Left, through Kennedy, with the No Child Left Behind act I knew we were in deep Bantha Poodoo. And I think Powell was chosen for the admin because George knew he was a RINO.
Like most of the bloogers here, I didn’t watch any of the imaculation extravaganza yesterday, and have no idea what Obongo said. However, I’ve just found out that his main speech included Neville Chamberlain’s famous appeasement phrase “Peace in our time”. Here it is on YouTube. Starts at about 13.05.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within.
An enemy at the gates is less formidable,
for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely,
his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys,
heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor;
he speaks in accents familiar to his victims,
and he wears their face and their arguments,
he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation,
he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars
of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer
resist.
A murderer is less to fear.
The traitor is the plague.”

Great. Just what everybody needs, WWIII.
@ huckfunn:
I’m not surprised since he is just like Neville in that he thinks the New Nazi’s (Islam) intends no ultimate war. I guess he thinks, like Kerry did when the first attack occurred at the WTC, attacks on American interests are just a nuisance. Benghazi is the latest example. Also the fact that he is orchestrating military help to the radicals in the so called Arab Spring.

It was actually a good Act and would have been great had Dub not allowed the Charter School Voucher provision to be stripped from it at the behest of the Left and Kennedy.
People have speculated just when the Reagan Revolution ended. In my opinion it ended with the election of GWB and his fumbling with the NCLBA was the last nail in the coffin.
Think about it. What would have happened if vouchers became available to American parents? There would have been a shift from public education to private schools. The private sector would have exploded and the public system would have been seriously degraded. The mighty Fed Teachers Unions would have been dealt a huge blow. And most importantly a large number of American children would have escaped the Liberal indoctrination they are sill receiving. The Left ha a hold of American academia, and Bush had a chance(and very likely the last chance we will ever get) of changing our society by wresting the hold the Left have on defining society at a base level.
Those children that are now still in the system that could have been broker would be close to entering adult society and second level education.
Bush blew it beg time in a way that is unforgivable with this issue and it was a fatal mistake that hurt us. I don’t know if you recall, but I started saying stuff like this over at 1.0 when Bush could still do no wrong, but I saw it and so did Rodan and a few others.
Another huge mistake Bush made is that he pushed the Congressional leaders to allow the Left to have an even share of power in the Congress when we held both Houses. We had the chance to smash them good. But no, W let his Compassionate Conservatism rule, with emphasis on the compassion, I blame him the death of Reaganism and the the cause of the disappointment and disenchantment of the Right, the swing of the (R)’s further to the middle and the subsequent election of the Chair.
And I didn’t know that was you, either (Wahabi..)
