Will the Country Return to Common Sense?

Ben Carson for president in 2016!

"Conservatives Don't Run the Inner Cities, Liberals and Democrats Do!"

Wow! I love this woman. She took on the liberals after the Glenn Beck Rally in D.C. Listen to her answer the woman who raises the issue of pregnant slaves on the ships coming to America. Huh? What the heck does that have to do with anything?

Notice the caring liberal try to deflect the issue by asking her how many black children she's adopted. I've had that thrown in my face so many times. Even if you'd adopted a dozen it wouldn't matter to them. How many have the "compassionate" liberals adopted? And they call us hypocrites! Their solution to poverty is to kill the children of the poor. That's the one thing the liberals and the country club Republicans have in common. Keep those nasty poor minorities out of their clubs unless they're waiting tables (or are in positions of power). Kill their babies and exploit them with slave wages in dead end jobs. Make sure their education is so bad, they'll vote out of ignorance. That's liberalism!

This articulate school counsellor has LBJ and Obama pegged. Control the people by destroying the family. How to destroy the family? Put in place welfare policies that drive dads out of the home. Penalize families in the tax code. Force families to put their children in failing public schools that enslave kids in ignorance.

We've got to eliminate federal control over almost everything. The Church teaches subsidiarity. Keep control at the lowest level possible beginning with the family. If the family can take care of it, let the government butt out! If the family needs help, let the lowest level of the community do the assisting - first churches and independent groups like free clinics established by the community. Government should always be the helper of last resort? Why? Because of the strings attached. If government runs it, government controls it. The woman in this video recognizes the truth. God bless her and may she convert many who recognize her common sense, starting with the little boy in the background. Liberals are poison and, as this video shows, they can't even argue rationally.



Thanks to Restore D.C. Catholicism who put me on to this video.

Blacks Defend Tea Party Against Racism Charge

The liberals want to present monolithic pictures of blacks as liberals and the tea partiers as racist. This video puts the lie to both pictures. Black conservatives may represent a small group or they may be the spearhead of a growing group who are beginning to see that liberalism is destructive. In any cases I applaud these articulate conservatives!

Savior of the Republican Party?

Well, Scott Brown won an election because he's personable, articulate, drop-dead handsome (which sure doesn't hurt in our American Idol culture), ran a smart campaign, and was the only "conservative" game in town - but primarily because he promised to oppose the president's unpopular health care plan. Now that he's safely in office, he's already dissing the people who contributed heavily to his campaign -- tea party activists. In mid January he claimed he didn't even know those people. And maybe he doesn't want to, because after all -- they (we) are the great unwashed who really believe in the constitution and traditional values.

Brown didn't mind knowing the tea party people last April when he addressed a rally in Worcester. He didn't mind carrying some tea party videos on his website and accepting the tea party "money bomb" that helped propel him into the Senate. Now he's throwing them under the bus. Thanks, Scott. Just like a politician!

This is one more indication that Brown lacks integrity. Will it be politics as usual behind the mask of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington?" Pray for Scott Brown, but don't buy into the hype that he offers conservatism anything new. Being a fiscal conservative is all well and good, but we sure don't need another social liberal in Congress, especially one who sees himself as a "leader" as he told Barbara Walters. He's handsome and a smooth talker for sure, which are two reasons he won and the accountant in New York didn't. Whether he's going to be good for conservatism is another question. And one thing I can predict with almost 100% accuracy: the temptations of Capitol Hill will not be good for his soul. Will he withstand them? He's already demonstrated he couldn't even withstand the temptation to lie about his connections to the tea party movement. He should have been thanking "those people" for helping to send him to the Senate.

Below is a video of a portion of the Scott Brown/Barbara Walters interview. Despite his Everyman image, the interview demonstrates that Brown does not stand for those of us who defend traditional values. He's another "big tent" Republican with a few bones thrown to the pro-life community. It should concern every serious Catholic that someone as charismatic as Brown is now perceived as the "savior" of the Repbulican party and perhaps the icon of what a Republican should be, i.e., a "moderate." There ain't nothing "moderate" about butchering babies and turning a blind eye to the abomination of same-sex marriage as long as the states choose it. But here we are back at square one with a popular big tent Republican trivializing the most important issues of our day.
