REDSTATE NATION: Quit Bitching and Do Something


Go to www.bloggybayou.com for my blog of the orginal.  The below is Crossposted from there. Looks like FOX was right about their vote count.

There Is Too Much Anger and Not Enough Willingness To Make Tough Choices By The Tea Parties And the Republicans

Right now on Redstate they have a picture of Rep Stupak up on the site With the word “Chump” under his photo.  Eric Erickson has listed it as an open thread for conservatives to vent on.  The Social Conservatives bet the ranch on “Pro Life” Democrat and lost.

Give me a break….was there any doubt the Democrats would cave?  Obama and Pelosi bit the bullet and went all in on the Senate version of the “Nationalized Healthcare Camel Nose Under The Tent” bill and won.  Reconciliation is already dead.  (Unless the Republicans cave in on that in the Senate, which is ALWAYS a possibility).  I looked in our local paper today to see if they would run an editorial on how they would come down on today’s vote…they didn’t.  Typical NW Florida Daily News. Pat Rice and Company were probably for the bill, but in an effort not to destroy Rep. Allen Boyd’s career over his caving in to the left-wing of his party, choose to ignore the issue.  So be it.

Want to know what our next move should be?  It will require iron will and painful honesty.  The United States of America needs to admit it is broke.  Our pockets are empty, our monetary system is in ruins and right now, our bankruptcy is being literally papered over by the massive printing of money.

The Republican Party, one way or another, along with the Tea parties need to, between now and October, to pull the plug on this charade.  This will probably mean Chrysler and GM go bankrupt and many a major financial house on Wall Street goes belly up, but we must take our medicine quickly, even if it is painful.  That would be the quickest way to a majority in Congress for the Republicans and also the quickest way to a necessary but painful overhaul in our tax system, our legal system (AKA Tort Reform) our health system, our education system and our Political System (Term Limits). 

The days of allowing the unproductive citizen to leech his or her existence off the shrinking base of productive citizens must come to an end.  Tea Parties: the days of saying you don’t take sides anymore ARE OVER.  Make a choice or be quiet and disappear.  Start a third party and you doom the nation for generations.

First on our agenda: we must put our financial house in order and this means Republicans and Tea Parties forcing the Government, Wall Street and Federal Reserve to have a “Come to Jesus” moment with the American Public. Our Republicans officials MUST BE BRUTAL in exposing the Financial House of Cards that has been allowed to fester in our midst.  This means breaking the back of the Federal Reserve, Treasury and Wall Street to expose the massive fraud and misuse of public funds that have occurred.  The protest should be loud, aggressive and above all, based on truth and facts (we have them on our side).  Above all, we must be honest about our debt and admit Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid ARE BROKE and MUST BE FIXED NOW.

We must be in “Take No Prisoners Mode” politically.  No more allowing Senate Republicans to “wander off the reservation”.  The McCains and Grahams need to shut up about Gitmo and Immigration and Republicans should concentrate solely on a) Money issues and b) The meltdown of America’s Foreign Policy, PERIOD. Leave the Abortion issue and other Social Conservative issues at the door.  We don’t have the luxury of time to debate them right now and they always wind up being a circular firing squad anyway.

We must be willing to take our message to the people and we must SHAME the MSM into covering it.  If the MSM INSISTS on continuing to carry the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Stupak Party’s water, then we need to bypass them ALL TOGETHER and make their bias a legitimate political issue.  This means boycotting the Press, refusing to give interviews and starting up our own media to inform the people.  If ABC/NBC/CBS don’t want to tell the American people the truth over the PUBLIC airways, then lets promise to levy TV taxes on them to help pay for the debt.  The first thing they will cut is their unprofitable News Business.

You want a Peaceful Revolution of Renewal for our Country?  Then act like our forefathers and START A REVOLUTION using the Constitution as our guide and the modern technology of the 21st Century as our tools of revolution.

And above all, quit bemoaning our fate and take action.  Like it or not, Obama and the Democrats won playing by the rules. We let them win.

We need to concentrate on changing the game and the rules.

Leave the Abortion issue and other Social Conservative issues at the door

JHancock (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 12:27AM EST (link)

If we lose on abortion-we are a morally bankrupt country that I would be happy to see fail. I won’t give up on Pro-Life for anything

We must Fight

proudgop (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 12:30AM EST (link)

Calling Stupak a baby killer is a loser

mavericktime Monday, March 22nd at 12:37AM EST (link)

A Republican Congressman from California yelled out during Bart Stupak’s little speech “Baby Killer!” There are allegations that tea party folks called black Congressman John Lewis, the “n” work and Barney Frank a [redacted - also, incorrect - ML] or something like it.

This IS NOT going to win Republicans any converts and Republicans cannot win elections without winning some independents.

Sexual epithets are verboten on this site, mavericktime.

You will not use them again here; and you will apologize to the board for using them in the first place.

You will also apologize for uncritically believing Lewis/Frank’s allegations when there is footage of the event that directly contradicts it.

Next post.

I apologize for using a sexual epithet

mavericktime Monday, March 22nd at 12:43AM EST (link)

I was trying to describe the name that was allegedly used to insult Barney Frank. Notice I said “allegations” in my previous post and just now used the word “allegedly.”

I didn't *ask* for an *explanation*.

Moe Lane (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 12:47AM EST (link)

I require an apology for your willingness to trust the words of two Democratic Congressmen – and two of the worst ones, at that.

Try again.

Hey Moe Lane? Where is that footage?

I’ve got some debunking to do in my gullible family! Do you have a link?

I don't trust them

mavericktime Monday, March 22nd at 1:02AM EST (link)

I said in as post earlier today that I wouldn’t be surprised if they made it up to make the opposition look bad.

I apologize if it appeared that I was taking what they said at face value. I don’t However, I watched the video and I don’t think it is dispositive.

You were warned. [nt]

Moe Lane (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 10:52AM EST (link)

So we should trust John Lewis over our own lying eyes (and ears)?

“I don’t think it is dispositive.”

Go **** yourself.

STUPAK DIDN’T STAND UP FOR THE UNBORN, I’LL BE DAMNED IF I DON’T. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR ADVICE AND SHOVE IT!

"We let them win"

houstoneagle (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 12:42AM EST (link)

The hell we did. Thanks for kicking us when we’re down, buddy. Redstate should be proud of what we did, everything in our power, to fight this, and we will continue to do so as we look toward the fall elections.

But Obamacare is our fault, and we should abandon our principles to get back power. Great advice. *mock golf clap*

I meant we lost in 2006 and 2008

Bloggy Bayou (Diary) Monday, March 22nd at 9:29AM EST (link)

because we a) lost our way in the war and b) sold our soul with TARP..

I make no apologies for being a Non-Christian fiscal conservative and Foreign Policy Hawk, I am what I am.

I am just saying that if you want to fix this country, what is broken is our economy and debt.

Abortion is now a court issue. If we elect a conservative president, then you will get your judges to overturn Roe v wade. Abortion will then be a state issue and it will still be legal in some if not most states. As for Gay’s, I am with Dick and Liz Cheny on this issue. No one seemed to have a problem with her appearing at last years; redstate meeting….

I want to repeal Helathcare and I want to fix the economy. Those are the issues of the day. Either we work to together or the democrats win.

I was also disturbed by the Anger issue… Passion is one thing, anger is another. I am retired military. If you lose your temper, you lose the bubble. We need to be cold and ruthless in our approach to taking back congress. Forget futile gestures of sending Stupak coins… give money to his opponent…

I am a Pro-Life Conservative

JHancock (Diary) Thursday, March 25th at 10:32AM EST (link)

and in my opinion, if our country kills its unborn-it doesn’t matter how fiscally sound or wealthy or powerful we are. A pro-choice country is akin to a pro-slavery country. It should be brought down. It shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy prosperity while aborting millions.

Yes I’m a Fiscal and Foreign policy conservative too…but these are financial issues….they affect our world standing and quality of life. I believe our ethics and soul are more important. That’s why I will not let the Pro-life voter in me take second seat to anything. If I had to choose between a pro-life communist and a pro-choice conservative, I’d take the Pro-lifer every time. Once the pro-life battle is won (and only then) will I start voting for people based on other issues. (Of course I’d rather just have the whole package and get to vote for a pro-life, tax lowering & deficit lowering conservative)
