There is a movement afoot, a conservative ascendancy, that is sweeping the nation. I hope it has the strength of determination to take over both houses of Congress and the Presidency, the drive and focus to repeal 100 years of progressivism, and reestablish this nation as the beacon of freedom, and release the capitalist system for ours and the worlds prosperity. And I hope that this tital wave will instill fear into the politicians still possessing a soul and a spine to stop the transformation of our nation into socialism.
As you may have heard that Utah Republicans gave Senator Bob Bennett his retirement.
Congressman Jason Chaffetz, elected in 2008 had this to say, "My victory two years ago led a lot of people into believing that Bennett could be in trouble. When people saw I was able to unseat a 12-year incumbent, they realized they could be beat [long time incumbants]."
Chris Cannon, who lost to Jason Chaffetz, had this to say after Senator Bennett lost, "You have extreme ideologues (that me) who took control of the party and drove normal people out. It's a problem that we have to correct." Cannon argues that the current political climate rewards invective and opprobrium. He goes on to note his disconnect with the people and that he is not a true conservative. "They learn to hate people who are in government, not understanding how it works. It is very clear there is a mass movement in America. They are ignorant. But zealous in what they are doing. Sarah Palin is not helping us as Republicans get control of Congress. I'd be talking to the center. Then you develop an ethos from the center."
Chris Cannon ran as a Conservative Republican for 7 campaigns. Now that he has lost his power and moved on in life he reveals his true colors. McCain is from the same ilk, and he is put forth as a leader of the party. This must change. This is happening from the ground up, commonly refered to as a grassroots movement. I have chosen conservatism because of its correct principles. Soon I will define the stratege for this movement.

I find it interesting that Cannon assumes that the conservative base's dislike of it's politicians, particularly those who are fonder of compromise than principles, is due to ignorance. Especially because I have experienced the opposite: the more I learn of the Olympia Snowes, Lindsey Grahams, and John McCains, the less I like them. They are blind to how liberalism is destroying the fabric of this country, and hinder the work conservatives are performing to undo the damage that's already been done.
ReplyDeleteAs I've become more familiar with politics, the notion of compromise is an idea that I have often pondered about. I've heard many politicians say that you have to compromise towards the center to get anything done in Washington. But, the more I read and learn about the Conservative principles that I believe in, the more I realize that you can't compromise on the basic, important values and freedoms that this nation was founded upon.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance to Bob Bennett and others like him who have compromised true Conservative principles in order to "play the game" in Washington.
Thank you for you comments Clarisse and Jeff. I believe once we get enough politician that agree with the majority of people which are conservative then we may begin to restore this nation. This means it is up to us to wake our neighbors to these basic principles that our nation was founded on. And therefore we must know these principles ourselves.
