The Born Again Conservative Movement
Loading ...I have come up with a few ideas for a new political party that would take us back to the roots of Conservatism. Over the years the Republican Party has lost its roots as it has slowly drifted left in favor of “Progressivism”. It might be interesting to note here that the Republican Party was founded here in Michigan. Maybe its time we found a new one! Your suggestions would be very welcome.
The “Born Again Conservative Movement”
By Henry Gibson (!)–This is a joke for those of you who watched “Laugh In”. OK, just forget it!
I. Beliefs
A party should have certain universal beliefs, a platform, of specific beliefs and goals that do not vary within the party. There will always be individual differences between members on details or methods, but the overall goals and results should be consistent. When people vote for a party candidate, they would like to know what the party in general stands for. The only way a party can get much done is to get as many of its members voted into office as possible. The voters need to know that no matter how many “Born Again Conservatives” they vote in, they’ll all be working for the same goals and hold the same beliefs. Here are some examples:
1. Abortion is murder. Life begins at conception. Had God not wanted that life, conception would not have occurred.
2. Partial Birth Abortion is aggravated murder (doctor performing the procedure should get life in prison or death penalty).
3. Marriage is one man and one woman (by birth).
4. Murder is illegal, so guns don’t have to be. The Second Amendment stands.
5. The Constitution is fine, leave it alone. It is and shall remain the last word on everything.
6. Actions such as those taken by Congress to pass the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962) are criminal and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. How about High Treason?
7. Term limits for Congress. (How about 6 months?)
8. Illegal immigration must be stopped. Illegal immigrants are not entitled to any American social benefits. The word “illegal” here is the key. An illegal immigrant implies a person who has entered or remains in the country without permission, and/or due process. If we have to improve the system, so be it. Amnesty is not the answer.
9. Balanced budget amendment. Perhaps with a popular vote referendum for any spending that will exceed the last year’s revenue (REGARDLESS OF PROJECTED REVENUES).
10. Prayer in school is OK. Voluntary prayer in school is OK. If you don’t like our God, that’s fine you can sit there quietly or step out momentarily. This type of decision should be made at the local level and not mandated in Washington.
11. Christian displays (the Ten Commandments, manger scenes, etc.) are allowed in/on government property. Like it or not, this country was founded on Christian principles. We allow you to keep your heritage/religion when you come over here, so let us keep ours! If you don’t like it, go back to where you came from!
12. English is the National Language. If you’re a legal immigrant, you should’ve been required to take some basic English classes and it won’t be a problem. If not and you speak some other kind of gibberish, tough shit! I for one can’t stand those stupid little pictures all over everything. Press anything you want, you’ll still get English!
13. Elvis is dead.
This is just a small sample of some of today’s issues.
II. Organization
A party should be organized, so that it can speak with one voice. A fragmented party with no clear leadership will result in chaos. This could lead not only to the defeat of our own party’s candidate, but also an easier victory for the Democrats due to watering down the opposing vote pool. The Tea Party is an example of this. There are many groups nationwide claiming to affiliate themselves with the Tea Party. But each group seems to be independent of the next. There’s no way to know for sure if each of these groups hold the same belief structure across the board. We can’t have 25 Tea Party candidates for President, so how do they plan on deciding on one Presidential candidate if there’s no central organization?
III. Ethics
Personal attacks should be restricted to the political aspects of the elected official, person(s) or organization(s) in question. Attacks on his/her family and/or friends should be strictly prohibited, with the exception of simple reference to matters of public record readily available in the media. Let the media do the work here, it’s the only way we’ll get ‘em on our side. Mud slinging seldom accomplishes much and quite often ends up helping the intended victim more than helping the attacker. Taking the high road here will show a higher level of morality. It is people with a higher level of morality that we are lacking in office.
VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER!!!!!!!** This is important. ** If we are to believe that the current administration is trying to prolong and/or expand its power, then it’s reasonable to assume that the government will use any excuse it can to declare Marshal Law. Marshal Law suspends ALL rights, Constitutional or otherwise. Marshal Law is usually declared when Civil Disobedience is deemed to be “out of control”. Get the picture? Attacking Police Officers is absolutely stupid and is an excellent example of Civil Disobedience. When the government declares Marshal Law, local Law Enforcement Officers will be replaced by military personnel. Military personnel cannot quit or change sides without the fear of being hunted down and prosecuted. Police Officers have close ties to their local communities, and can quit the force and join their communities. These Police Officers that some propose to attack might well end up by our sides. Besides that, they might close the doughnut shop in Clare and then I would be pissed! At this point the Law is on our side. Let’s use our heads and make our move while the Law is still on our side. I might add here that the Dean of The Russian Foreign Ministry’s academy for future diplomats, Igor Panarin, has already predicted that Marshal Law will be declared in the U.S. under this administration. Who would know better how to take over a country? Do I believe him? Not necessarily, but like it or not these people are NOT stupid. They spend their days analyzing reams and reams of data from multitudes of sources. As a third party observer, the truth can be much more obvious than to those of us stuck in the middle of it. If you toss a frog into boiling water, he’ll jump out. But if you put a frog into cool water and bring it slowly to a boil, he will slowly boil to death.
Civil War or Marshal Law is a horrific proposition. Since the Military will be called in to crush the rebellion, guess who makes up the Military. You got it!!!! It’s our sons and daughters. Imagine tossing a grenade into a foxhole, then finding your son’s body in it. That’s right, sons against fathers and fathers against daughters. This is not some nameless, faceless enemy. Nor will Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid be in the foxholes. It will be our loved ones. The soldiers will have little or no choice in the side they are on. Deserters will probably be shot on sight. So what are they to do? Let you kill them? Let them kill you? Who wins this kind of war? We had one Civil War, and I’m not sure we ever really fully recovered from that one. Let’s not do it again. Remember “The Pen is mightier than the Sword”. Let us do battle with our pens, lest we, our country and our way of life shall perish by the sword.
Please join us in our effort to PEACEFULLY take back our nation and keep her the greatest nation on Earth!!!!!
