the new racism
From Rich K. I’m sure y’all have a reaction, so fire away!
Since we can’t seem to escape the term “racist,” I suggest that we embrace the term, and let other Americans understand what a conservative racist is:
I’m a racist because I believe that blacks are fully capable human beings who are perpetually demeaned by the liberal theory holding that blacks cannot function without handouts from condescending, rich white people.
I’m a racist because believe that blacks are just as academically capable as any other people in America, but that they are having their abilities systematically squished when condescending, rich white people assure them that they can’t make it without assistance—a heinous approach predicated on the liberal’s implicit assumption that blacks are inherently stupid, ill-informed and ill-suited for intellectual effort.
I’m a racist because I believe that vigorous (but still constitutional) law enforcement benefits blacks, who are disproportionately the victims of crimes by other blacks.
I’m a racist because I believe that excusing harmful behaviors in the black community (whether academic failures, teen pregnancies, drug use or crime), on the ground that blacks cannot help themselves because whites have essentially ruined them, is the ultimate insult to blacks, reducing them to the level of animals without intelligence, self-discipline, moral fiber, ambition or ordinary human decency.
I’m a racist because I think liberals have sold blacks a bill of goods by convincing them that, because slavery was work, all work is slavery.
I’m a racist because I believe that a rising tide lifts all boats—which means that I believe that social programs that destroy the economy will not raise up minorities, but will ensure that everyone wallows in poverty.
I’m a racist because, in San Francisco in the 1960s and 1970s, I saw non-English speaking Asians fresh from the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the prisons of Vietnam, and the horror of the Great Leap forward all arrive in America and immediately begin working and studying, so that their children could enjoy the American dream—and I believe that only liberal condescension and paralyzing social programs stand in the way of both blacks and Hispanics making the same strides.

Glenn Beck at CPAC
We caught Glenn Beck’s closing speech at CPAC on CSPAN. Keynote speech? I think so. Certainly no other speaker brought it like he did. Not even John Bolton, who was superb but understated. Glenn ought to be a preacher. Took me right up. Even with his ever present chalk board. PREACH IT BROTHA, PREACH IT!!
I’m sure it’s up on YouTube by now. Go and find it, and watch. Fantastic. Best speech I’ve heard in years. He went at it for quite a long time, at least half an hour maybe more. And a couple of times what he said left the audience cold. But he was right on the money each and every time. Spoke the truth and shamed the devil. Progressives are killing America. On both sides of the aisle. My hero. And towards the end, he brought both my wife and I to tears. It was that good.
Right now it’s about 8:15pm. CSPAN will be rebroadcasting the speech at 11:30 I think.
Outstanding stuff. “Tonight we’ll go to bed with the worst hangover of our lives, but tomorrow when we wake up ... it will still be morning in America!!”

Don’t they ever learn?
For the second time in just over a week, Fox News is coming under fire for misusing old news footage. The latest flap is leading some people to charge that the cable news network is intentionally misleading its audience, while Fox claims a “production error.”
Wednesday’s incident occurred when Fox News host Gregg Jarrett mentioned that a Sarah Palin appearance and book signing in Grand Rapids, Michigan had a massive turnout. As footage rolled of a smiling and waving Palin amidst a throng of fans, Jarrett noted that the former Republican vice-presidential candidate is “continuing to draw huge crowds while she’s promoting her brand-new book,’’ adding that the images being shown were “some of the pictures just coming in to us.... The lines earlier had formed this morning.”
However, the video used in the segment was from a 2008 McCain/Palin campaign rally. In response to the minor uproar that arose after clips of Jarrett’s report hit the Internet, Fox senior vice-president of news Michael Clemente issued an initial statement saying, “This was a production error in which the copy editor changed a script and didn’t alert the control room to update the video.”
On Thursday afternoon, Fox News issued an on-air apology delivered by host Jane Skinner
Not mentioned in this story is how Google News first reported that “thousands” attended one of her events, then later changed the headline to “hundreds”. Or that other news story about - what was it again? - either the police or the military limited either press access or crowd access to another event, out of fears the situation would become unmanageable.
The bottom line is obvious: Sarah Palin is a lightning rod. So be real careful. Double and triple check everything, from the video clips to the editing to the rights of the picture you’re using for your magazine cover. Because both her fans and her detractors will put everything under the microscope and then cry foul if anything is off-kilter. Be warned. Wise up.

You Betcha
Sarah Palin: Thank you, Washington, for Requesting a Demonstrably Good Idea
I commend the president for acknowledging today that “there are limits to what government can and should do” to ease our 10.2% unemployment rate – the highest it’s been since 1983. I also applaud his call for suggestions and expression of openness to considering “any demonstrably good idea.” Taking him at his word, I’d like to suggest this one: let’s learn from history and follow the example of the man who occupied the White House in 1983 and was able to transform an even worse recession than the one we’re currently experiencing into the largest peacetime economic expansion in American history.
When you realize the magnitude of President Reagan’s achievements, there is absolutely no reason why anyone would ignore his “demonstrably good” example. If you want real job growth, cut taxes – including capital gains taxes and small business payroll taxes – and slay the death tax once and for all. If you want to stimulate the economy and help poor and middle class families, cut payroll taxes so that more Americans can keep and invest more of what they earn.
If you want lasting economic expansion and prosperity, get the federal government’s budget under control. Instead of more pork-laden stimulus plans, let the free market correct itself. That’s what Reagan did, and history proves it worked.
In his comments today, the president honorably suggested that he welcomes our ideas on how to put America’s economy on the right track. But, there also seemed to be a suggested chastisement of the private sector’s efforts to right some economic wrongs when he said, “...small businesses and large firms...have not yet been willing to take the steps necessary to hire again.”
As business owners seek to expand, or just to keep doors open today, it’s not as if they are refusing to hire out of spite. Given a pro-private sector environment they will be only too happy to hire more people and grow their businesses. Perhaps if leadership in Washington reassured them by, for example, cutting tax burdens and making government more efficient, it would send our businesses a message that it’s safe and smart to expand today.
These are difficult times for so many Americans who are out of work. I implore our leaders to not threaten our economy’s job creators with increased taxes and job-killing schemes like cap-and-tax and the government health care takeover. Government needs to get out of their way and off their backs so that they can grow and hire again.
The lessons of history are clear. We’re blessed to have so many lessons from which to learn, and we’d be smart to emulate successes in America’s past. Our economic recovery decisions should be based on the same free market principles that Reagan employed. They work, history proves it, and I thank our president for asking for this input.

Know The Difference
“The Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with the State. It is opposed to classical liberalism [that] denied the State in the name of the individual.”
“The maxim that society exists only for the well-being and freedom of the individuals composing it does not seem to be in conformity with nature’s plans. If classical liberalism spells individualism, Fascism spells government.’’
- Benito Mussolini
And don’t confuse classic Liberalism with today’s
There is a very nice post over at Justified Right you can read that points out that the things our government is doing are very fascist in nature. Know that fascism is an economic outlook primarily; it does not have to be about racial superiority at all.
Paulson and the American government are not racial fascists, but there is no denying that by confiscating your money and distributing it to corporations as if they and not you are the national interest, they are acting as Economic Fascists.
If the companies we are bailing out are “too big to fail,” then someone please wake up the guy running the Justice Department Anti-trust Unit and kick his rear-end.
Fascism is Corporatism. Even some folks in the government know that, but suggest using Socialism instead, because of all the other baggage people’s awareness of Fascism carries.
Why send them out to fight Socialists if their real enemy is Fascists? They won’t even recognize the enemy, which is how Barack Obama got elected in the first place.
Even Ron Paul knows the difference. ...
Understand what freedom is all about ... It is God given, not because we belong to some group ... There is only individual freedom. ... Every market transaction has prior restraint and is done with the permission of government ... we have moved a major step in the direction of socialism. They talk about nationalizing the banks, but the name isn’t as important as the control. We are closer to a Fascist system where the government has total control of our lives, our economy, and that is what has to be stopped.
If we understand what freedom means ... we have to stop believing we can regulate social behavior. It’s all the same. But under that system, you have to be responsible. You can’t go crawling to the government begging and pleading and demanding.
Bill #1207 - Audit the Federal Reserve. At least we can find out what they’re doing. The GAO is prohibited from doing that; you don’t have any right to know anything about them ... It’s a monstrous fraud. It has to stop. The situation we have today is unworkable ... but we can defend against all of it by defending the Constitution, defend the rule of law, understand where our rights come from, and say “Yes, We Want Our Freedom Back, and We Will Assume The Responsibility For Ourselves.”
Tommy De Seno, author of Justified Right, is doing a great job covering the CPAC event. Check it out!

Good Stuff!
My goodness ... I’ve got RFC running on it’s little widget thingy. They’re playing Willie Nelson, a live recorded jam of Whiskey River. That segues into Steely Dan’s Do It Again, and on to Dr. John’s Right Place, Wrong Time. Woo Hoo! They might call it RFC, but it sounds more like CRR - Conservative Rock Radio. Good move. Good tunes. Somebody has to reach out to the regular Republicans. And by doing radio on the internet, it’s just another kind of blog ... no FCC, and no Fairness Doctrine ... just in case. Smart move. Crank it up!

For those of us without AM radio, or who can’t find Rush or Mike Savage on their FM dial, RFC will be on “the air” today starting at noon Eastern. Click on over to RFCradio.com, click the big yellow button on the right (of course!) and give them a listen.
Radio For Conservatives launches today at noon! RFC is a 24/7 news, talk, and rock Internet radio station created by conservatives, for conservatives.
Oh yeah, they have music and videos too. Naturally, they’re starting things off with Ted Nugent doing the National Anthem. Give a listen, leave an opinion.
There are also several articles available to read, like today’s post from Minority Report that reminds us that today is NOT “President’s Day”, it is BY LAW, the Washington’s Birthday holiday. “President’s Day” is a cultural misconception foisted on us by the left, one of their earlier - and successful - attempts to water down the culture. Today is NOT a celebration of Obama, McKinley, Taylor, Wilson, Clinton et al.

Taking A Tip From Trump
Steele Cleans House at Republican National Committee
Newly-elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has requested mass resignations at the institution, which has about 100 staff members.Michael Steele, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, has asked the entire staff to resign, FOX News has confirmed. The move signals Steele’s plan to reshape the party, which was trounced at the polls in 2006 and 2008.
As a black man from Maryland, a traditionally Democratic state, Steele has already brought a new face to the party. The RNC has about 100 staff members, many of whom have been told that their last day on the job will be Feb. 15, a Republican source told Politico, which reported the story Thursday morning.
Some aides may stay on, the source said, but several senior aides who were expecting the changes voluntarily submitted their resignations soon after Steele’s election last week.
President Obama’s new team made a similar request at the Democratic National Committee.
Steele, a former Maryland lieutenant governor, won the chairmanship last Friday. In his first speech as chairman, he pledged to bring change in an effort to re-establish the GOP presence in the Northeast and win elections in regions across the country.
“It’s time for something completely different, and we’re gonna bring it to them,” he said in his acceptance speech. “Get ready, baby. It’s time to turn it on.”
So does this mean there are job openings? Hire me. I already have a slogan you can use. Take back the Right. Nifty, what what? It’s a play on that mostly worthless annual campus awareness raising festival of mock-feminism “Take back the night”. Plus it has a built in double meaning: return the party to it’s roots AND give the citizens back the America we’re supposed to have. See? I’m inventive, full of ideas, and have a proven grassroots track record as a Conservative Blogger. Hire me.

GOP Comeback: A New Beginning
Michael Steele, the former Maryland lieutenant governor, wins the chairmanship after six rounds of voting in which five candidates were competing.
The Republican National Committee has picked Michael Steele, a black man from a traditionally Democratic state, to be the new face of the party as the GOP forges a revival following a second consecutive electoral drubbing.
Steele, the former Maryland lieutenant governor, won the chairmanship Friday after six rounds of voting in which five candidates were competing. He becomes the first black chairman of the Republican Party just days after President Obama became the nation’s first black president.
Steele delivered a rousing speech after winning the hard-fought race, pledging to re-establish the Republican presence in the northeast and win elections in regions across the country.
“It’s time for something completely different, and we’re gonna bring it to them,” he said. “Get ready baby. It’s time to turn it on.”
And Fox News has already blown it. The REAL first step in our new Obama-enlightened post-racial society, is to not ever mention that this person is black. Or even male. None of that matters or needs to be said. Besides, all you need to do is look at the picture to figure that out. The New Conservatives should should a highly diverse front, and not even mention such things. Content of their characters and all that, done honestly, and not as a weapon. Throw out the entire deck of race cards, sex cards, gender alignment cards. We have moved so far beyond that nonsense (that the backwards Dems cling to and carry on about in an infantile way) that we don’t even notice it.

a new day, a fresh start
i call for the dissolution of the Republican Party. They have failed us. They have ignored us. They are as corrupt as the left. they ARE the left - there is no way in hell you can convince me that John McCain is anything to the right of what a normal Democrat should be. Juan McAmnesty. McCain-Fiengold. The Maverick. And this was the best they could find. We put a lot of hope in Fred, but he turned out to just be an actor. No fire Fred. No effort Fred. No chance Fred. You suck Fred. Buh bye.
Right now it looks like that fucking idiot Al Franken from Air America is going to take a Senate seat for Minnesota. How in the name of seven grizzly hells did that happen? The man is an utter whacko, and yet the Republicans can’t even defeat this guy. Admit it, the GOP is over.
No, we need a new party. Now let’s sit down and figure out what that party should stand for. And what kind of people - by which I mean people’s outlooks and worldviews, because we have to be EAGER to take folks from all walks of life and from every social strata and from every color of the rainbow and from every religious affiliation going. So we want whites, blacks, browns, yellows, greens, grays, oranges, and neon zebra stripes. Whether you’ve found rebirth by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, or whether you think thunderstorms are incarnations of the divine. It has to be a big tent, and that tent needs lots of open flaps to let in the crowds. That means we all have to ignore most of each other’s attributes, and instead focus only on the worldviews that bring us together.
We need a whole new platform. We need to examine and debate each and every plank in that platform and even the nails that bind it together. Perhaps there is still some good wood left in the GOP raft that we can salvage before it sinks beneath the waves, but there are planks in there that are rotten too, and they need to go. Even if those planks are cherished, because we’ve had our initials carved in them for 36 years. They leak, and that rotten wood doesn’t support the base. Worse than that; a whole huge slice of people are afraid to step on that raft because of that one rotten board.
We also need a name. A new name, without ties to failed parties of the past. New America Party?
I have 1000 or more people coming to visit here every day. At least 800 of them are from the USA. Since my blog stats show me that I get a whole lot of repeat traffic, this ought to mean that I get the same big crowd coming back every day. Or often enough. Which means that most of you have some alignment for what passes for Conservatism these days. And that means you OUGHT to have enough smarts and awareness to come up with some ideas. So let’s hear them. What do you want, what don’t you want. You don’t have to write an essay. You don’t have to be funny. If the best you can do is 5 or 6 words then that’s fine. But put those words out there. The debate starts here, one blade of grass seeking to take root. That is, until the new USSA Civilian Security Force shuts this place down. Because that day is coming faster than you think, especially if we just sit on our supersized American asses and complain that other people didn’t find the perfect solution for us. Rise up. Speak up. Stand up. While you still can.
