The Conservative Ascendency

How is it that our government has become so far removed from the people? I mean, everyone that I talk to has a very hard time squaring the venomous bills being penned in the halls of congress with the will of the people. If you read any one of them, it quickly becomes apparent that the administration has a private agenda that it is desperately trying to enact, despite the will of the people. Obama promised hope and change. He is denying the former, and delivering the later. Where are the jobs? Only jobs can restore the hope. But Obama does not seem too concerned with restoring hope. He keeps blathering on about fundamentally transforming our economy, but what he really means to transform is our society as a whole by changing the fundamental relationship between the people and government.

Instead of receiving power at the behest of the people, he seeks to usurp it because he feels entitled to it. He knows what is best for our society. There is no need for discussion. There is no need for public discourse. That would only get in the way of progress. He has said "stop all the talking. I don't mind cleaning up the mess". He is so damned full of himself. He raised all kinds of campaign money from both inside and outside the country over the Internet, purchased his way into the White House. And now thinks that he can force his will on the entire population. He didn't count on meeting up with any resistance from conservatives. He failed to comprehend the sheer number of conservatives in this country and the magnitude of their outrage over his animus towards our Constitution, and the values and traditions upon which it is built.


Rush Limbaugh has said that the Conservative movement is on the ascendancy and he is right. Witness the Congressional race in N.Y. district 23 where there was a three way between a liberal Democrat, a moderate Republican (incumbent) and a Conservative. Today the incumbent Republican withdrew from the race and endorsed the Conservative candidate! her record was tainted with several inconsistencies regarding conservative positions, and by the latest polls she could not have won re-election anyways. But the real thing that is noteworthy about this is that the National Republican Congressional Committee which had poured over $900,000 into Dede Scazafava's campaign is now suddenly left without a candidate in the race. This district has been a solidly red district since the beginning of the Civil War. Instead of it switching to blue, the republican incumbent has dropped out of the race and endorsed the Conservative party candidate. Simply stunning! The NRCC and the RNC should take notice here. The base will find a party that best matches their values, and in New York that party is the Conservative Party.


I believe that this is the start of something that will spread faster than H1N1 across the entire country. It is high time that the values of the majority of the people in our country hold dear are given face in Washington D.C. The Republicans will be marginalized by their own ineffectiveness at recapturing their base. Their base has moved on, and found a new voice in the Conservative movement. We are not lost; we just found a new voice.
