If you are not actively involved in removing Barrack Obama from the White House and the Marxists and RINO's from Congress and your statehouse then you are part of the problem. We need your help. If you can donate time, money and/or effort or all of the above it will go to a good cause I promise you that. At the very least vote!!

On July 19th I was elected as Precinct Administrator for Clark County Nevada by the Clark County Republican Central Committee. I'm not trying to gloat, I was unopposed. However, the reason I was unopposed is because the job of Precinct Administrator is not easy. In fact it is a very tough job with the only possible reward a faint light at the end of the tunnel, but someone has to get it done. I am putting my time, money, and effort where my mouth is and so should you.

I started getting involved first when I set up my blog "The Patriot Journal" and then later started attending my local Republican party meetings. The job of Precinct Administrator will allow me to interact with hundreds if not thousands of like minded Republican voters and that will be a treat.

I plan on keeping everyone informed periodically here on the progress my team at the CCRP and I are making turning Clark County back to red. There is no other option.

God Bless America!

What else could it be? The Democrats in the Nevada legislature are obstructing Senate Bill 178. SB178 which in addition to making it a felony to threaten an illegal with revealing their immigration status in order to compel them to perform certain acts, also makes it mandatory for anyone registering to vote to show proof of citizenship.

Call me crazy but I don't see a problem with that in the least. In fact I am angry that this law is necessary in order to stop people from voting illegally in the first place. I shouldn't have to remind everyone but, voting is a right, secured in the blood and treasure of our Founding Fathers and in every generation since. To allow our voting rights to be given improvidently to foreign nationals with little or no vested interest in our country, or well being, is criminal.

This bill has no hidden agenda or surprises like the National Health Care bill aka "Obamacare", it is simple and straightforward. Not one Nevadan I have talked to opposes this bill, which leads me to believe there is no constituency based political reason for the Democrats to oppose it.

The Democrats do want illegals to vote, let me explain why. People coming from any country and remaining here illegally are most likely poor and uneducated. They are the perfect food for the Democrat vulture because the educated cannot be as easily lied to and controlled. The Democrats have thrived on the use of illegals as a huge source for their power in recent years, by stirring every emotional trigger imaginable in Americans, be it race or social class etc. Then they use these as a hammer to bash Conservatives and paint us as uncaring of the downtrodden, a patent lie that we must destroy.

Therefore, as long as there are poor and uneducated, which there has to be to sustain Democrats, they will continue to claim to protect them from the "bogeyman", and promise them money and benefits in exchange for their votes, which in turn secures their power. The more the better for them, and foreign illegals are an endless supply.

Illegal aliens voting Democrat is what they want, and what has been happening for a long time. This is also why Democrats support Social Security, Medicaid, and welfare benefits for illegals, these being the promises fulfilled for voting for them. The Democrats use our tax dollars to help illegals bankrupt us. Their final goal is to consume all power and maintain themselves as a ruling class while the rest of us remain subservient to them and exist on what they think we should have.

Are you angry yet? I am, and I am sure I can speak for most Nevadans, and most Americans in general that this scenario is not an option. We must not let them continue to obstruct what is right and force down our throats what is wrong. Every Conservative has a duty to expose the Democrats for what they are, and to educate apathetic and ignorant Nevadans to the Democrat obstruction of SB178 which protects our precious right to vote. 

Please call your State Senator and Assemblyman and let them know that we want SB178 passed through committee and given an up or down vote on the floor. We must force the Democrats to defend their opposition to this bill. Our voting rights are dependent on this bill and your participation. Here is the link;

I want you to think deeply about this question. The people that read my articles by subscription know where America stands in their hearts. I don't have to think twice when I think about what this country means to me. It's automatic, close behind God and Family. Those are the only two that are more important to me. If saving America meant I had to denounce my Christian God or do harm to my family, I would let America go because it would already be doomed with or without my support.

That is how much I love this country. However, much to my profound sadness, not every American feels the way I do. It makes me sick to my stomach that people so spoiled by the leisure lifestyle provided them by the blood, treasure, and honor of others, is so easily spat upon. There are people that I work with that could care less what happens to America as long as they get what they feel they deserve.

No job or government program is worth letting America die. I would gladly give up my job and look for a new one if it meant saving America. The era of government filling the role of God and family, must, and will end, lest we be tossed onto the ash heap of history. The selfish nature of humans is nothing new, but the degree of narcissism we see displayed in plain view now, bereft of any stigma whatsoever, is astonishing to me. It makes me long for the days of the 1980's let alone the 1950's.

So many workers are willing to kill the golden goose rather than take a smaller egg. Look at the UAW and the auto industry. Most of those workers are not college educated and too old to retrain to another industry. If they are willing to throw logic into the toilet when it comes to matters of daily living, what do you think they would do if it came down to them or America? Again, that answer scares me.

There is a way to combat this however and it is all about education. Most Americans have no clue what the Constitutional boundaries of the federal government are, nor do they know anything about what the founders envisioned. You cannot appreciate where you are going if you do not know where you come from.

The "dumbing down" of America has been a slow but deliberate process that was crafted by nefarious people for pernicious outcomes. The architects of the "Progressive" era were nasty, terrible, people who thought of us like Mengele thought of Jews in Germany. Even though Americans have had to eradicate many enemies from within during the course of our short history, we have always prevailed because of brave Patriots who understood why America is exceptional.

We cannot blame the young skateboarder that hasn't a clue what the Constitution is. We must blame ourselves for letting public education be hijacked by leftists, but we don't have the luxury of time or effort for blame. It is imperative to think of the ways to solve this problem, immediately. There was a point in every one of our lives where we went from child to Patriot. That point is where we must get every American that isn't there already.

We must articulate to the ignorant, the importance of the preservation of America, and the impact a failure would be to their lives and the lives of the ones they love. When things become personal they become a whole lot more important. America is not like any other country in history, we know why and we must pass this knowledge on. America is grace under pressure and it is up to us to relieve that pressure. Past generations have overcome worse threats to the existence and health of our republic. I have no doubt we are up to the challenge, and we are every bit as Patriotic as anyone in history. If you do not know the answer to the question at the top of this page, read every post in this blog, then write me and tell me what you learned. God bless America!

No, I haven't lost my mind, but the more I think about it, the more I think I am right about this. I don't mean savior as in Christ. I mean savior of the Conservative movement. Obama has done more to resurrect the Conservative movement than any leader since Ronald Reagan. God Bless the soul of that man, who by the way would have been 100 years old on the sixth of February.

Think about what Obama has done for your psyche. He has gotten every Conservative off the couch and out into the street and town square holding picket signs. When was the last time that has happened? He has angered the hard left by not closing down Guantanamo, then compromising with the new Republican House on the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts. Of course he has done damage and that is not good, but there is a silver lining to that too.

He and the far left Congress committed the ultimate sin however when they legislated against the will of the people. Passing the Obamacare bill by cramming it down our throats exposed the democrats for what they are, power hungry, arrogant, and duplicitous. With that one piece of legislation and the following attacks on the Tea Party, which is a true grassroots movement, they have sealed their fate in the present and near future.

I look at my actions before and after Obama was elected. I started a blog and have become very active in my local Republican party in addition to partying with the Tea Party. As soon as the 870 billion stimulus bill was signed I knew what we were up against. I like everyone else was hoping for the best but got the worst, a far left Alinsky ideologue. The number of people that I personally have heard who are regretful they voted for him is astounding.

Put all of his wonderful attributes together with a ready and willing leftist Congress and voila! you have a perfect political storm to sew the seeds to the latest Conservative revival. You say "so what, so did Johnson 1968 and Carter in 1980". You are right, both Johnson and Carter helped revive Conservatism, but not like this.

The difference today as opposed to 1968 and 1980 is, people are much better informed now, and are paying more attention now thanks to the internet and 24 hour news. People are thinking about how decisions in Medicare are affecting them personally. All of these factors coupled with blatant duplicity and utter contempt for the taxpayer, have made this time special

This time is special because for the first time in my life people are thinking twice about the practicality, the wisdom, and the constitutionality of the leftist "sacred cows" Social Security and Medicare. (Of course only to be phased out after all of the contributors have collected their deposits and the mandate has been lifted) Oh and it gets better! People are also talking about the need for a complete constitutional audit to be done on everything the federal government is involved in.

This means rolling back the creeping death "progressive" period that was set into place in the beginning decades of the 20th century. It also means that lots of government bureaucracy could be headed to the trash heap. We could finally get rid of cabinet positions that are not authorized by the Constitution like the Dept. of Health and Human Services, Education, Energy and Housing and Urban Development. These, in addition to throwing out a myriad of agencies, and bureaus that regulate or control aspects of government that the states are authorized, per the Constitution, to control. 

Obama has truly awoken a sleeping giant who is not only big but much smarter and much more savvy. If all of this works out like I want it to, I will have to formally thank Obama.

  The basic "Conservative Principles" are the core existence of every true conservative. We live and defend these principles every day we are alive. Conservative principles are not fluid nor are they amendable. They do not change with the times. They are set in stone, unchanging and steadfast. They are the cornerstone and the foundation of this great nation and are displayed brilliantly in our founding documents.

     Faith:
Faith in God is the most important principle. God provides the moral stability that every standard of conduct is based. The Holy Bible is basically the owner's manual to life. People without it are lost. In order to act properly in a civilized society you must believe in a higher power greater than yourself in judgment. The Founding Fathers were Christians and believed that everything they had, or were ever going to have, was a gift from God, not to be denied any man by government or anyone else. Using inspiration from God's word they crafted the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America, both of which boldly display the irrefutable influence of the "creator".

     Honor:
Your word is paramount in this world. A true Conservative would never let their honor come into question. Personal accountability is never an issue. You do what you promise to do and expect the same from others. You live by example always. If you sign your name on the dotted line you complete your contract. It's as simple as that. You pay your bills and do the things that might be more difficult at the time but give you the satisfaction in the long run that you have what you have because you worked for it. You honor your family by protecting your honor. You always remember that your honor is a reflection not just on yourself but also everything and everyone you associate with. Real wealth is not what number shows up next to your name on a bank account receipt, but rather how respected your honor is in the eyes of others, friend of foe. Honor will give you confidence and drive to achieve all that you can achieve. A true Conservative is honorable as a way of life. 

   Patriotism:
This one is dear to my heart. For any American not to feel proud when they hear the "Star Spangled Banner" or see the Flag waving in the wind is not a Patriot in my eyes. I know they are just symbols, but they are symbols of the greatest nation humans have ever produced. Americans now are enjoying the fruits of labor of 233 years, and generations of blood, sweat, and tears of American ancestry before them. A lot of respect is due the Founders and ancestors before us, just as alot of responsibility lies on our shoulders to pass on the Founders vision to the next generation. As a Patriot you believe that our country, created by the Declaration of Independence and governed by the Constitution is just, and does not need change from the vision of the Founders. 

     These are the very basic principles of Conservatism. Some people will mention "small government" or the "pro-life" stance etc. These too are conservative principles but they fall into the basic three. I will cover all of those subjects as well on this blog.

     There are people that will not like my choices of the "Basic Conservative Principles". Some have told me that they are too broad or are too deep. I do not know what they mean by this. Basic means basic. I am starting out at the foundation. Faith, Honor, and Patriotism are the true basic principles of Founding Father Conservatism. Everything truly Conservative originates from these three just as everything in government must originate from the founding documents.

     I also have some tell me that "Faith" is not a necessity to be a Founding Father Conservative. I say they are wrong. While there were some atheists and agnostics that helped the Revolution, the men that wrote our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were men of faith. They believed that God gave us our rights, not men and certainly not government. If you do not believe me read the opening line of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. Everyone in the world has read this. 

---- "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".----

     It couldn't be more clear than that. There is no way to reconcile Conservative principles in the vision of the Founders with a rejection of God. I do not judge atheists and agnostics. I pray they find God someday and still  welcome their help in defeating the Godless left. The Basic Conservative Principles are a code of life for me that is best explained by my creed at the top of this blog; God, Family, and America. Nothing else matters!  

Sure I'm happy! I was jumping for joy watching Americans do what had to be done to stop the leftist onslaught. I couldn't be happier that we Patriots chose America and not the path to disaster. However, damage is still being done and will continue to be done until Obama is gone and the Senate is back in Conservative hands. Only then will "We The People" have the political power to roll back the damage the leftists have done. I honestly did celebrate and had a great time Tuesday night, but when I woke up Wednesday I knew it was time to start working on step two. 

The election of 2010 will go down in history as one of the most resounding rejections of a President and his policies since the founding of the country. A whopping 32 House Representatives who voted for Obamacare were shown the door. It was surreal seeing democrat after democrat losing. After what had to happen, and in the proportions it had to happen in, anyone who would vote for a leftist again needs their head examined. Yes, I realize that some people are always going to use emotion rather than logic when selecting candidates, but I keep praying for that 100% common sense rate to appear. I'm a dreamer I know.    

What happened Tuesday was exactly what was expected and more. The races we hoped to win but didn't were extreme long shots in the first place. But, even those races were closer than they have ever been and scared the leftists to the core. What is expected now is the march to November 6, 2012. That day will be "Judgment Day" for Obama and another third of the Senate. If we keep our momentum moving full steam ahead, we will take the Senate back with another 6 or 7 seat gain and rid ourselves of the worst president we have ever had.

In the meantime we must continue on and double our efforts to educate the ignorant and motivate the apathetic. Like Sean Hannity has said, this is merely a plug in the bottom of the boat. We can put a halt to the runaway spending but the effects of what has been done will keep us in grave danger for years to come. Please do not think that the 2010 election is the zenith, it is not. Now, together with you my fellow Patriots we fight on. Remember the first Patriots of the Revolutionary War, they were in the field, fighting for 8 years. We can suffer another 2 years for God, Family, and America.

It is amazing to see the smartest people on the planet give up. How do I know they are the smartest people on the planet? Because they and Obama said they were. They are Ivy League intellectuals that are part of a mutual, pat each other on the back, and tell each other they are great, society. Obama said it himself, he was going to assemble the smartest economic team the country had to offer. They were going to show dummy George Bush and the rest of us serfs just how important they were. We should "thank them" is how Obama put it. Three of them have left the Obama administration for obvious reasons. They include Christina Romer, Peter Orszag, and Lawrence Summers.

They all had different titles and for the sake of brevity I will not get into their titles or offices they held. They were first and foremost serving as advisors to the president on economic and budgetary policy. If it wasn't as bad as it is in America, this would be funny. This could be a joke on a late night talk show. However it is bad in America right now and these three people along with Obama are to blame. They also are all believers in "Keynesian" economic theory. It was conjured up by a British economist named John Maynard Keynes, and basically assumes that central government control is better equipped to stabilize the economy than than the private sector. We all know how well central government control over economies work in the examples of Cuba and the former Soviet Union. The theory has never worked in many tries, but is still not abandoned by the left. They love the power that it gives the ruling elite.

Here is their education backgrounds; Christina Romer was educated at MIT and is currently a professor at Berkeley. Why parents and students would spend hard earned money to learn failed economic theory in college is beyond me. Peter Orszag was educated at Princeton, and Lawrence Summers was educated at Harvard and is the recipient of the John Bates Clark Medal which is another leftist self appreciation prize they give each other. Funny how Arthur Laffer didn't win that medal, but that is another topic altogether.

If these people are the best and brightest, what does that say about our colleges of higher learning? I wouldn't send my children to an Ivy League school if they paid me to let them go. The leftists have virtually destroyed our once world class institutions of higher learning. This is why a Classical Education is so important (read about a classical education in my "conservative resources sites" link). These people are so closed off from the rest of us that they couldn't possibly know what works on main street. They are too busy competing for what looks great on paper in a perfect, leftist, utopian world. A world by the way which will never happen because of human nature and the need to be free.

Common sense seems to be lacking in the entire Obama administration. But like I have said before, this entire ordeal has nothing to do with intellect or common sense. It has everything to do with the grab for power and the want of the left to collapse the capitalist, free market economy that currently is dangling by a thread. Economics either micro or macro are all based on human nature and  human nature never changes. It is not that complicated, and certainly not as complicated as they want you to think it is. The left just can't seem to come up with a good, palatable transition from free to slave. These self-proclaimed "intellectuals" do not believe that America and Americans are exceptional. They believe we are serfs waiting to be lead around by the nose. This notion is what is ultimately retiring them and will in 2 years retire Obama, God willing.

I am so proud of America today! The final few primary races for Senate are done and more RINO's are on the street. Conservative Christine O'Donnell, who was cast aside as a mere speed bump on the road to RINO Mike Castle's victory tour to the Senate, has given the Republican establishment all over the country and especially in her home state of Delaware a thumping. Ovide Lamontagne just barely lost out to establishment candidate Kelly Ayotte for Senate in New Hampshire, but Carl Paladino drops a huge stink bomb on the RINO GOP in New York by knocking off Rick Lazio in the primary for Governor.

We are not going to win all of these primaries and probably not all of the general elections. But the damage to the future of the RINO establishment is profound. "WE THE PEOPLE" are bypassing them. We have the power in this country, not the deal makers in smokey rooms. If we could only stay this engaged in the political process every cycle, there wouldn't be a problem with government ever. Let these victories sink in and let you see that each individual vote does make a huge difference. The RINO's are complicit with the democrats in ruining our great country, and your votes are making them pay the political price.

Mike Castle voted for Cap and Trade and was on record as saying that he wouldn't vote to repeal Obamacare. Is that the kind of Republican that anyone wants in the Senate? The answer this year is a resounding no. The RINO establishment keeps saying that to vote for Conservatives in the primary in blue states is giving the general election to the democrats. In my humble opinion, saving colorful metaphors for private use, I would much rather have 41 solid as a rock Conservatives in the Senate than 51 with 10 RINO's voting with the democrats all the time killing everyone's spirit like Scott Brown.

America is sick and tired of RINO's. Like Reagan said, we need bold differences from the leftist democrats, not pastels. A united front of solidly Conservative Senators will be a powerful force even in the minority. I am still convinced that we are going to win the Senate outright anyway. I think Americans are ready for the adults to take back the government. The Tea Parties and the fed up populace are forcing the contrast. No longer is "R" for Republican good enough, you are now going to have to prove it. RINO's up for re-election in 2012 beware, because your records are not in the shadows anymore. The entire Republican establishment is going to be re-made in the Reagan Conservative mold. 

RINO's are worse than democrats. Don't get me wrong, democrats are truly the enemies of America but RINO's are worse, they are the Benedict Arnold's of Founding Father Conservatism. RINO's sell us out every time it counts. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins the two Republican Senators from Maine should switch to the democrat party, because they are never going to be Conservative. The northeastern states and the local GOP offices there should not be allowed to operate using the name "Republican". They give all of us a bad name. People in the northeast have never seen a Conservative candidate. A Republican from Texas would not recognize eastern Republicans. 

The conventional wisdom was that Conservative candidates could not win in the northeast. This is a ridiculous notion that keeps power in the hands of leftists without a challenge from any Conservative. People seem to forget that Ronald Reagan won every single northeastern state in 1984 with a very Conservative agenda. Conservatism and it's results are always popular every time it happens. People are paying attention now and educating themselves. The reason this is happening at all is because leftist policies always fail and after 4 years of democrat rule of Congress and 2 years of Obama the American people are doing what desperately needs to be done. Lets keep this going, and return the government to the consent of the governed.

There are definitely annoying things in life, but someone lying to me and insulting my intelligence at the same time has to take the cake. President Obama is running around the country to college campuses trying to drum up support for all of his failed initiatives and for democrat Congressmen and Senators in general. Well, not with them, because they don't want to be seen with him as he is becoming radioactive for democrat candidates.

In these staged, teleprompter, pre-written joke speeches he is lying to all of us. He is saying that the Bush administration lost 8 million jobs and his administration created 3 million jobs. He is also saying that the Bush administration was responsible for the recession. These are blatant, bald face lies. But, even after all of that has happened there still are some people who hold out hope that Obama is really doing what is right.
 
These individuals will never get it, but there is an overwhelming majority who voted for Obama and are now embarrassed. One person told me that voting for Obama in hindsight was almost as bad as recommending Bernie Madoff to your elderly parents. That's how angry people are. "Judgment Day" is going to be a disaster for Obama and the democrats. I remember seeing a t-shirt online somewhere on a man at a Tea Party that said "If you shove it down our throats in 2009, we'll stick it up your a** in 2010" That pretty much explains it wherever I go.

The insult is trying to lie to us and tell us different. Americans in 2010 are not the ignorant working slobs of the 1930's, far from it. The internet and the alternative media have been bringing us the truth for a decade now. Glenn Beck a nobody three years ago, drew five hundred thousand people to the Lincoln Memorial to talk about honor. That's a miracle from God if you ask me. This is not going to be just your regular old 20% percent show up to vote mid-term election. This is going to be felt around the world and is going to stick out like a sore thumb in history books of the next hundred years.

Harry Reid is another liar that has zero to campaign on. What is he going to campaign on? Nevada has almost 15% unemployment, so he can't campaign on all of the phantom 3 million jobs he and Obama have created. In reality he can only attack Sharron Angle and that is what he is doing, but not on the issues. He is doing what every leftist does, he is following Alinsky, attack, attack, attack. Sharron Angle is not a brilliant campaigner at all. She is not going to give rousing campaign speeches and wow the crowd with her Harvard vocabulary. She is much more intelligent than that and sticks to the Conservative issues we care about. In other words she is like most of all of us, and is definitely as Conservative as all of us. That is what I want!

I want honesty. I want honesty that what you tell me during the campaign you are going to do when you are elected. If things aren't done because not enough others in Congress will vote with you it is understood. Knowing this, your record had better be exactly like you portrayed yourself in the campaign or else you are gone next time. It's as simple as that. We all must be vigilant and hold our elected officials accountable just like we are now. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
