The Conservative Blog world continues to be astounded at the lack of intellect on the liberal side of American life.  Witness the following Q&A.  The question came from a reader. 

———————

Question:

“As an Obama hating conservative, as most of you are, what specific issue do you believe that Obama should enforce that would make you not hate him so much? Or is your dislike just a done deal because he isn’t a checklist conservative?”

Reply:

The best thing Obama has done was authorize the execution of the Somali pirates holding an American sea captain hostage.  He really didn’t mean to do it, but screwed up in reverse.

This will be difficult for you, but bear with.  At least since you’ve asked the question, some hope for you might remain.

American Conservatives are Americans first.  Obama is a citizen of the world.  Every past President has seen himself as caretaker of the country for the benefit and safety of US citizens. Obama is custodian of America for the benefit of the world – not for Americans.  Otherwise, He wouldn’t have spent his entire first year apologizing to the world for what America has become.  He truly is embarrassed by His country and has said very little about its goodness or the kindness of our citizens.    With 85% of the countries that make up membership in the UN being something other than representative democracies, Obama has sought favor of the worlds tyrants and despots by degrading His country.  He is succeeding.

Conservatives have few ‘checklists’ other than “keep out of my checkbook” and “keep out of my life.”  Of course there are social issues upon which we can disagree, but the idea that Conservatism is an activist philosophy is laughable.  Therefore when Obama accuses conservatives of just saying ‘no’ to His attempts to ruin the country and its institutions (such as health care) he is correct.  Of course conservatives are the ‘party of no.’  That is by design.  The ‘checklist for being the party of ‘no’ then is really pretty short.  That is a good thing for the country. 

Conservatives learn from history.  Massive government debt in recessionary times fuels rapid inflation, kills jobs and drives a free economy into free-fall.  This was learned in 1934.  The once envied Japanese economy has been in the dung heap since the early 1990s for the same reason.   Europeans have finally thrown off (or are about to) the last leftist leaders in their midst because they are tired of an economy that taxes them to death and allows the poor zero opportunities for upward mobility. The arrogance of the Obama administration to think that the economy will behave differently because the Chosen One decrees it is nothing short of disgusting.  The Obama economic team is fueling further job losses and economic stagnation by it’s reprehensible spending.  It won’t be able to blame GW Bush much longer as even MSNBC is getting tired of this excuse.

The Chosen One promised unaffiliated voters that He was the one that could be counted on to reach across the aisle and work with Republicans.  The 15% or so of the electorate that makes up the unaffiliated voting block believed Him in 2008.  Now they’ve completely abandoned the Democrat party as the Stimulus has proven (as did Jimmy Carter in 1977) that intervention in the economy by a liberal government only drives unemployment and inflation rates up.   Unaffiliated voters are feeling very betrayed because they have been completely sold out.  Conservatives are welcoming them into sanity camp. This happens once in a generation as the teachers unions turn out enoug econommically ignorant voters to skew elections towards liberal candidates.  But once the citizens get a tase of what liberal governance does to the country, these voters generally become conservatives.  Just look at the rise of Reagan and Reaganomics;  it was made possible by the ignorance and ineptitude of James Earl Carter – peanut farmer.

This is a long way of saying that President Obama is driving the economy of the United States into the toilet.  Obama is making the world a much more dangerous place through his ignorant foreign policy.  And even for liberals, these trends have become self-evident. 

The only action Obama could take that would bring any sense of respect to America’s conservatives would be to resign.  

Cosnervative Bloggers occasionally send in some interesting questions….  Here is one!

Who was the British guy on Jon Stewarts Political Humor Television show?

He had black hair and a strong british accent, maybe a bit southern Britain. I’m from America and I saw him talking to Jon Stewart in a very funny yet immature way… I remember him comparing the economy to a fire breathing dragon and he mentioned fireballs and Jon counter attacked with a anti fireball wall or something… Also, where can I find this video? It was very funny! N

That would be John Oliver.  He also has some cameo appearances in Demitri Martins new show!  Just search YouTube and I’ll bet you can come up with the video clip.

Conservative Blog post for November 4, 2009

Obama’s New Paradox – Create More Hope or Fear?

EJ Dionne writes this morning that President Obama needs to invest a little time in creating an atmosphere of ‘hope’ in the country.  Dionne captured this quote from New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg following Governor Jon Corzine’s loss on Tuesday: 

“There are two things happening,” the New Jersey Democrat noted. “One is fear. The other is punishment. Voters fear for themselves and their families, and they want to punish anyone who got them into this condition.” 

This brilliant observation underscores why the GOP – if it can maintain a clear conservative message in 2010 – will absolutely wallop liberal and even so called ‘moderate’ incumbents.  Voters should indeed punish those that make their lives difficult.  It may surprise Dionne that this is the entire reason for electing leaders.  Those that serve us well receive continued employment.  Those that don’t get to stand in the unemployment line with the rest of us.

The really interesting part of this though surrounds what President Obama did or did not do to create his party’s election disasters in Virginia and New Jersey.  Exit polls repeatedly note that the condition of the economy and government spending are top areas of concern.  The fear generated by driving the economy into stagnation by state and federal governments was clearly acknowledged by voters on Tuesday.  And as Lautenberg notes, voters want to punish those that got them into this condition.   At least voters are now paying attention.

President Obama has created a hugely problematic condition for his party.  In order to win election, He had to gin up animosity and ‘fear’ about the Bush administration and about conservative leadership.  Then he had to gin up more fear about the economy to get the Stimulus passed.  And Rahm Emmanuel’s famous quote about never allowing a good crisis to go to waste kept the fear machine in high gear.  It now seems that no one at the White House figured out that sooner or later, voters would want to see some results from mortgaging their grandchildren’s future.

So what does the President do now?  He has already spent a huge amount of our money on the Stimulus package which will only produce bloated state governments and rapidly increasing inflation in 2010.  Job recovery is already choked off because the pressure the Stimulus borrowing puts on interest rates only drives commercial finance costs upwards.  And without an assurance that reasonably priced capital will be available for growth and expansion, business will not have any reason to grow and hire workers. 

President Obama certainly added to the atmosphere of fear, but now that trail is well-worn and voters are sick and tired of hearing about how after one full year, the current economic problems are still the fault of George W. Bush.  Even CNN is bound to be skeptical of administration claims that this is simply the situation the White House ‘inherited.’ 

Democrats are at their core – emotionalists.  As fear is the most powerful of emotions, Democrats have continually endeavored to increase the level of fear in the population to the point where it reached an apex in Virgina and New Jersey.   Now that these elections are concluded, the focus of voter anger is squarely directed at the Obama administration.   One year is plenty of time to start making a positive difference in the economy and there is absolutely no doubt in anyone’s mind that the economy has only worsened, despite the 3rd quarter GDP numbers being propped up by Cash for Clunkers and a trillion dollar Stimulus bill.   And the 2010 inflation will only make matters worse. 

Inspiring ‘Hope’ would take the energy out of the drive for taking over health care and driving energy taxes through the roof.   Hope would imply that the economy is improving.  Even Wunderkind Tim Geithner understands that the economy will not improve next year and only offers vague promises of stagnant jobs growth.    Besides, if Obama comes out with a modern “Morning in America” speech, it will only provide fodder for the Tea Partiers and others who understand what life is really like in American neighborhoods.  And deep down, every Obama administrator understands that a liberal takeover of institutions like health care and energy production cannot be achieved in an atmosphere of optimism. 

So look for the fear and the absolutely irrational blaming of GW Bush to continue.  MSNBC will certainly help in the effort, but the interesting player will be CNN.  After turning in a solid last place performance on election night, the CNN wizards may finally be compelled to look at what their fawning adoration of this President has done to their ratings – as well as explore how this may impact their paychecks.  

CNN is now the confirmed laughing-stock of cable news – losing even to the lunatics at MSNBC.  Unless the network returns to some form of investigative and honest journalism, the organization is headed for a terrible financial disaster.  Looking critically at the Obama administration is about this network’s only ticket out of the sewage pool it has flung itself into.  Should CNN decide to abandon its role in Obama worship, they have a shot at survival.   This would make CNN an unreliable partner with the White House for ginning up the fear they need to justify continued government expansion.

Obama really has no choice.  There will be few messages of hope in 2010 and fear should continue to be the dominant theme for 2010.  Without it, Obama can’t take over health care or energy.  But Americans want results.  One year plenty of time to wait.  And come next November, the ‘Hope and Change’ voters bring will be sweeping the House clear and putting a stop to Obama’s reckless government expansion.

Conservative Blog History File….

Dede bowing out.  ACORN had to be disappointed.

Fighting plunging support, Republican Dierdre Scozzafava abruptly suspended her campaign Saturday in a special election for a U.S. House seat that has exposed a rift among national factions of the party. (from Oct. 31)

Although Hoffman didn’t win, a clear message was sent to the GOP that it must put up conservative candidates – at least more conservative than this one – if it wants to win.

Conservative Blog video post for November 4.

These things become available from time to time, so we post ‘em up for your enjoyment!  And after getting a little life pumped back into Conservatism yesterday, we can take a second to regroup and enjoy!

“Social Security: The Musical” throws just about every pop culture reference into this clip about the impending doom of the Social Security deficit. They want to privatize the social security pot and that means old people like Groovin’ Granny will have to work until they die. Celebs like Jay Leno, the American Idol judges, Snoop Dogg, Donald Trump, the Clintons, and the 2008 presidential hopefuls weigh in on the problem.

Conservative Blog Post – November 4 supplemental..

Another interesting reader question:

Would Obama be comfortable in Canada’s Liberal Party?

Reply:

Probably… He would be more comfortable as a member of the Canadian Socialist Party.

Conservative Blog post – supplemental for November4.

We get these questions from time to time….  This one came in about what makes good political humor.

————————————-

Woody Allen’s once said that as a humorist “You’re either funny or you’re not”  Is this true?

Response:

Not much is funnier than Woody Allen – particularly when he opines about political or serious social issues.  His reputation as a comedian overrides anything he utters, so even when he tries to be serious, he winds up generating laughs.  

This especially occurs when ‘ol Woody tries to comment about Conservative beliefs about family and social values.   Given his own history of rather intimate relationships with step children, how can he be taken seriously?  In truth, Allen isn’t taken very seriously…

This doesn’t really answer the question, but Woody Allen’s views are seriously funny and worthy of Saturday Night Live. 

Conservative Blog Post for post-election day, 2009.

Alright…. I’ll admit to being a bit hung over from the whining and carping from Democrats about how the GOP is an extremist party in the midst of am inner party civil war.   Thus the relative tardiness of today’s post.   Although your humble author picked Corzine to stuff enough ballot boxes to retain his job, the end result was better than hoped-for.  Getting whacked in your own state by 100,000 votes – even though you control all aparatichik mechanisms is outright embarrassing.   The bottom line though is that conservatives came out batting .667 in major races yesterday.  And with a batting average like that, you’ve got a good shot at the pennant.

The lone loss was in New York’s 23rd Congressional District where Conservative Candidate narrowly lost to Democrat Bill Owens – after Owens picked up the endorsement of GOP liberal Dede Scozzafava.  The Hoffman insurgency at least knocked one of the two liberals out of that race.  And the GOP would be well advised to recruit and support conservative candidates and ignore the liberal ones.  The “No Scozzis” rule, if applied next year, could yield anoter wonderful election evening.  A point of interest here:  Hoffman lost by about the number of absentee votes Scozzafava had already received by the time she dropped out of the election.  Look for Hoffman to re-arrange his schedule to make another run at this seat in 2010.

Conservtive wins in the Virginia and New Jersey Governors races clearly point to a collapse in what Democrats believed was their mandate to govern. And thankfully, even though the mandate to govern was severely deflated, the liberal leadership remains ignorant of lessons learned yesterday.  This means we can anxiously await a political blood-letting this time next year that could be nearly catastrophic for the left. We owe this all to the Democrat leadership’s inability or unwillingness to learn.

The threat to ruin American health care by taking it over and by the threat of huge energy tax increases are only the beginning.  However these two initiatives alone have Americans not only paying attention but getting active.  Leftist control depends on voters remaining passive.  When given the chance to govern though, leftist Democrats only enraged those in the popultion that work hard and pay the bills. 

Centrist  or ‘Blue Dog’ Democrats are in a real pickle now.  These Dems are fully capable of understanding the lessons learned from yesterday’s vote.   Some may actually put those lessons into practice and resist the Obama charm and subsequent intimidation efforts to finally put the health care takeover out of our misery.  Unfortunately for them, Obama’s exceptionally ambitious and hard-left agenda is already being pushed in areas other than health care.   So killing one measure such as health care won’t politically help the Blue Dogs much unless they jump ship and come over to the GOP.  If they remain Democrats, they will be sitting ducks for conservative candidates next election day.

And speaking of conservative candidates, recruitment of quality candidates got a royal shot in the arm yesterday.  Conservative candidates fared well against some well entrenched Democrats.  New Jersey in particular showed what a reasonably articulate and conservative candidate could accomplish in the face of a Democrat who couldn’t run from a record of high taxes and high unemployment.  As Democrats won’t have the unemployment situation under control next year (or ever for that matter), decent conservative candidates can now see a legitimate shot at victory. 

As long as GOP primary voters adhere to the “No Scozzis” rule (for RINO Dede Scozzafava in New York 23), conservatives should be able to ride the wave of public discontent to take over the House of Representatives.    And should Democrats keep pushing the health care disaster and the energy tax and increased cost implications contained in the Cap and Trade legisltion, Republicans should have all the ammunition they need to send Democrats into the unemployment line to join all the other Americans they deposited there. 

So as the analysis continues, the GOP must quickly gear up for the next round.  The bit of momentum gained by winning the ony two governor’s races this year could multiply into a 2010 electoral juggernaught – just as long as the ‘No Scozzi’s rule is applied.
