"I'm Gona Show You Some Crazy!"

H/T to therightscoop

Herman Cane, a frequent guest host on The Neal Boortz Show (9:00AM until 1:00PM, on WDBO in Orlando) was a speaker at CPAC and had a great line that I hope catches on.

The libs call conservatives all types of names, as he points out, and CRAZY is one of them. Listen to his story about his Grandfather and take it to heart, that YES, we are CRAZY.

Bill Bennett Takes Glenn Beck to the Woodshed, Why?

See the entire speech at the YouTube channel, "therightscoop"

Above, Glenn Beck gives the key note speech at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) and brings down the house! He railed against the enemies within, the Progressives, in both parties and some folks think he went too far.

One of those that thinks Glenn pushed too far was former Sec. of Education and Drug Tsar, Dr. Bill Bennett. I respect Dr. Bill and think he is one of the leaders when it comes to teaching and informing the American people about the conservative cause. But he went off this morning saying that Glenn just doesn't see the good that the Republicans that are in office are doing.

Glenn said that we shouldn't settle for someone telling us that, hey, I will stop the guy from sticking that screw-driver in your eye, and I'll just stick in a pin. WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING IN OUR EYE! He was making the point that just because the Republicans are standing up to the Obama agenda, which is as easy as saying "I hate the satan", it doesn't mean that they would be all that better at governing if they don't purge the "Progressive" influence out of their party.

It's true that John McCain has been one of the leaders in helping stop this take over by Obama and his radical cabal, but would things have been that different if McCain would have been elected? The darling of the media, until he ran against the messiah of the media, Obama, was one for believing in Global Warming, and therefore pursuing Cap-n-Trade. He was also Mr. Bi-Partisan, and would have more than likely negotiated on any health care bill brought up by the Dems. in the congress. The only thing that he had going for him was his fiscal discipline, and that may have slowed things down.

But the man was not someone I wanted to intrust the protection of the US Constitution, remember McCain/Finegold. What Glenn was talking about in his CPAC speech was how the Progressives, like Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, where trying to get around the Constitution because they saw it as an old document, not worthy of adhering to. And Teddy, the leader of the Bull-Moose party, the progressive party of the day, was John McCain's hero.

I respect John McCain and his long service to this country, a true hero who still bares the scares of his sacrifice to this nation. But I think that many Republicans don't even see what they are, progressive republicans that are hell bent in enlarging the government and making it an even bigger part of our lives.

True conservatives want to not just stop the growth, that's a given, but want to shrink government, and remove the burden of high taxes and over regulation off of the citizens and off of business. Only through less government will the shackles be shed so that we, the people, can do what we do best, produce, innovate and create wealth like no other country has done in the history of the world.

Bill wanted to point out that Glenn stated that he hasn't seen a "Coming to Jesus moment" in the Republican Party. Again, the GOP has been standing against the Obama agenda, but that's easy. But Glenn is a "pivot point" kind of guy, he not only wants to hear that Republicans are becoming more conservative, he wants to know why, why did they change, and when.

Throwing out red meat to their voter base is easy when you have so much radical cattle to harvest it from. But I want to see, as Glenn does, the look in a GOP candidates eyes of true repentance, and if we see that we will forgive. We may not forget, but we will forgive. We want to know the exact moment that they realized that they were walking down the dark side, and what made them jump into the light. That is what Glenn is looking for, not just words, but to know that they recognise they had a problem and what made them change. Hence is referring to his own addiction to alcohol.

Bill made his point that it is the GOP that is standing up to all that is wrong with the Obama agenda today and that there is a difference between the parties. But even Bill can look back and see that the GOP hasn't been the conservative party that we thought they needed to be. Under Reagan and both Bushs, we grew government. Less under Reagan, but under "W" we grew with astounding speed. One has to look at the past, not just the last year, to see how the future will be, and with that track record, you can see why we are very weary of any politician saying, "look, I've changed.....trust me!"

I hope the GOP candidates will look us in the eyes, and tell their real story of how they've changed, because without that, we will keep looking, and looking and looking, until we find the true conservatives we need.

Dr. Bill goes by the philosophy of "elect the most conservative candidate you can", stated by the conservative icon, William F. Buckley. And I agree, but lets make sure we find the very best we can, and not settle for the small, very tiny pin in the eye, again.

Obama Says "JUMP" and Alan Grayson says "HOW HIGH!"

From "Big Journalism" Why Obama Hates the Recent SCOTUS Decision, James Hundall has a great post on why the President is so upset with the Supreme Court's ruling. He quotes Pres. Obama:

"With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics. It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans. This ruling gives the special interests and their lobbyists even more power in Washington–while undermining the influence of average Americans who make small contributions to support their preferred candidates. That’s why I am instructing my Administration to get to work immediately with Congress on this issue. We are going to talk with bipartisan Congressional leaders to develop a forceful response to this decision. The public interest requires nothing less."

And it looks like my Congressman, Rep. Alan Grayson (D) took his orders well. He's now come up with 8 new, free-speech-hating bills that he thinks will go over well at home. For the statests, maybe, but for the folks like me, people that look at the "Tea Party" movement as a good thing, and think our government is way out of control, it goes over like a cement truck off a cliff. Here's what I said back to Rep. Grayson, I get his news letter so you don't have to:

1) The Business Should Mind Its Own Business Act (H.R. 4431): Implements a 500% excise tax on corporate contributions to political committees, and on corporate expenditures on political advocacy campaigns.

HR4431: So you would have congress pass a law that abridges the right of free speech by taxing the hell out of it? Have you read the Constitution?

2) The Public Company Responsibility Act (H.R. 4435): Prevents companies making political contributions and expenditures from trading their stock on national exchanges.

HR4435: See above? Punishing a company for doing what the SCOTUS says is constitutional?

3) The End Political Kickbacks Act (H.R. 4434): Prevents for-profit corporations that receive money from the government from making political contributions, and limits the amount that employees of those companies can contribute.

HR4434: I see you leave out Unions, which are corporations that make millions for their leaders. And you want to limit free political speech of individuals, just because the work for a company that is doing something you don't like?

4) The Corporate Propaganda Sunshine Act (H.R. 4432): Requires publicly-traded companies to disclose in SEC filings money used for the purpose of influencing public opinion, rather than promoting their products and services.

HR4432: If all contributions to politicians, political parties or advocacy groups had to be disclosed then we wouldn't need this, but your party and many Rep. don't want this......Why? Let the people see who is paying for what and let them make up their own minds.

5) The Ending Corporate Collusion Act (H.R. 4433): Applies antitrust law to industry political action committees.

HR4433: As long as this applies to unions as well, I have no problem with it.

6) The End the Hijacking of Shareholder Funds Act (H.R. 4487): This bill requires the approval of a majority of a public company’s shareholders for any expenditure by that company to influence public opinion on matters not related to the company’s products or services.

HR4487: What the hell business is it of yours what a company does with the money and power they have been entrusted with by its shareholders. If the shareholders don't like what the company is doing they are free to sell their stock, just as the free market says they can. Or they may vote to change the BOD and the path the company takes. The company bylaws should dictate how the leadership makes up its mind on how to spend money.

7) The America is for Americans Act (H.R. 4510): Bans all political contributions from foreign companies, or domestic companies with any foreign owners.

HR4510: See my last email, the law already prohibits this. http://capmsblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/alan-read-law.html

8) The Pick Your Poison Act (H.R. 4511): Requires corporations to choose between using lobbyists to influence the political process, or spending money on campaign propaganda.

HR4511: Again, stay out of how companies spend their own money, they may pay for the vampires on K-street and pay into PACs if they so choose, or to candidates or to parties. They earned the money, they get to spend it.

Man, who comes up with the names to these things? The progressive libs like Alan truly think that we are that stupid, they think "well that sound good, let's support it" and we won't dive any deeper. Well, thanks to Al Gore for inventing the Internet, so we can now look up all sorts of things, see videos of what people said, so we can get the real truth, and make up our own minds. Thanks Al.

ALAN, READ THE LAW!!!

Email to Congressman Grayson about his "America is for American Act".

Congressman Grayson,
It is already illegal for foreign corporations or foreign persons to contribute to elections here in the U.S. Your "America is for Americans Act", what a stupid name, is already law. Judge Alido was correct when he mouthed the words, "not true" at the SOTU address.


“The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals violate that ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them. Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment.

Who is a Foreign National?

The following groups and individuals are considered "foreign nationals" and are, therefore, subject to the prohibition:

Foreign governments;
Foreign political parties;
Foreign corporations;
Foreign associations;
Foreign partnerships;
Individuals with foreign citizenship; and
Immigrants who do not have a "green card."

Please spend your efforts with more meaningful legislation, like trying to rein in spending, cutting taxes for everyone, including the top earners, which I am not one, and making sure our country is safe from outside and inside threats.

Oh who am I kidding!!
