I listen to the lamentations of Republicans about the speed with which President Obama is transforming the country into the socialist model he has staked his Presidential legacy to. If you watch the method to the implementation of each policy proposal, and every action he is taking, it is clear he is checking off the items he promised the left as quickly as possible to satisfy his liberal base. People are on the talk shows exclaiming that they never knew the change would be this quick and this wide spread; that the very fabric of American capitalism would be rent in two. What did they expect when the most liberal senator from one of the most liberal states gains the Presidency?

I think back to a year ago as I listened to the talk shows while the primary races were going full tilt. Many conservatives had had enough of moderates Republicans In Name Only (RINOs), and with good reason. We had just seen 8 years of moderate Republican control, the result of which was the expansion of government at an unprecedented rate for a GOP President, increases in entitlement programs like the Medicare prescription drug benefit and the no child left behind program. The way the Bush administration spent money and grew government overshadowed his strength as a deterrent to terrorism. Nobody launched a second attack on the United States after 911. He clearly had put the fear of God in the radical Islamic forces that target our Nation.

The sub-theme of the disillusioned conservatives was that they would no longer vote fore “Moderates and Mavericks” who sell out their conservative constituents for personal political gain. Too many times we have seen the RNC roll out the old horse whose turn it is to be President only to see him fall flat on his face. The latest examples being Bob Dole who had no chance against Clinton, and McCain who stood no chance against Obama. The only way to take this country back from the liberal fast track we are on is for conservatives to force their politicians to stop trying to play in the middle and come back to their conservative roots. It is gut check time for Republicans in office and they should take not of the mood sweeping this nation. No more MODERATES!

We are less than two years from the mid-term election and we need to be building the conservative platform and educating the American people on what fiscal responsibility by the government, reduced regulation, and encouraging people to work rather than collect welfare will do for the economy. Socialization of a society has failed everywhere it has been tried. Even the shining beacon of socialism, the EU, is on the verge of tearing itself apart over economic considerations. The politically correct mentality and loose immigration standards has let to years of ethnic riots in France and Greece. It is only a matter of time until the nations held up as the shining examples of socialism succumb to the overwhelming influx of radical Islamic immigrants. How long will it be before we see courts that judge the Islamic society according to sharia law and the rest of the population by their national laws.

We are seeing a coup on a global level by the forces of Islamic jihad. It is a coup that is taking place without a single shot being fired. The easiest way to destroy a powerful nation is to cause economic turmoil. President Regan and British Prime Minister Thatcher pushed the arms race during the cold war to the point that the Soviet Union could not sustain itself and came crashing down. Take a look now at what Obama is forcing onto the American economy and is pushing it to the breaking point.. Economist after economist states that the sheer volume of the debt that he has gotten passed in the first 4 weeks of his presidency is unsustainable. The stock markets see that it is unsustainable and continues to drop like a rock. The debt load President Obama is putting on the taxpayers will be there to burden our children and grandchildren. If he has done this all in a matter of weeks, what will he get done in 4 years?!

It is amazing that the Left in this country is yet again trotting out Keynesian economics. This is the antithesis to capitalism and has failed every time it has been tried. FDR’s New Deal has now been show to have actually extended the depression of the 30s. LBJ’s Great Society cause an entire of generation to grow up believing that they were entitled to get paid by the government not to work. Under carter, the ground work for the housing crisis that were are currently experiencing was laid, and picked up by Clinton. The damage would have been worse had Newt Gingrich not lead the Republican comeback with his contract for America. Other countries have not fared much better. The French, English, and Canadian health care systems are atrocious with people waiting for operations that could be scheduled and performed in weeks here. When someone is suffering should they not have the right to seek immediate relief as per their insurance policy; or is it better to wait for a government bureaucracy to decide whether or not you NEED the surgery.

In the end, we lost the 2006 mid-term election because the conservative base reacted to irresponsible fiscal policy by the Bush administration by “sending a message” and handing both houses of congress. I believe the same happened in 2008 when Conservative rising star Mitt Romney suddenly withdrew from the primary so that the moderate McCain could have his turn in the sun. This move all but make an Obama administration a lock as conservative voters did not have a conservative on the ticket and either did not vote or voted for a minor party to spite the Republicans for abandoning fiscal conservatism. The problem is losing elections has a price, and we are paying that price now and for decades to come. The time for self pity and crying over mistakes made has come and gone. Now is the time for the people to speak by calling their congressmen and senators that this runaway spending is not what you want. Huge public pressure has influenced votes before and it will work again. Besides that, work with your state Republican party and push them to develop true conservative candidates. We can still turn this around and many of the back loaded spending programs start in 2011 and later. If we can take congress back in 2010 many of the egregious spending in the porkulous bill can be rescinded. Be active and make a difference.
