Having said that, however, it’s clear the liberal media suffered some “blow back” resulting from their less-than-balanced reporting of the anti-Mubarak demonstrations.  It became increasingly obvious the U.S. media supported the anti-Mubarak (AM) factions from the very start. Their supportive reportage minimized early incidents of violence, down-played the destruction of priceless Egyptian artifacts, excused home robberies and grocery store looting by AM factions.  As a matter of fact, the media and AM factions developed a symbiotic relationship. The AM’s got plenty of media coverage so they could prance in front of TV cameras.  In return, the media got ready access and interviews to help boost ratings.  It was the media’s newest reality show called “Cairo Shore”.

That explains the numerous protest signs written in perfect English flaunted by smiling AM protesters wearing Yankee baseball caps preening for CNN.  It would have been like the Rodney King rioters holding up “Can’t we all get along?” signs done in Arabic to impress Al Jazeera TV.  Improbable at best.  While not supporting AM’s overtly, the media certainly encouraged anti-government protesters indirectly by providing such extensive, breathless and sympathetic coverage. 

Pro-Mubarak factions (PM’s), however, were nowhere to be found until five days into the revolt.  No PM’s were interviewed, covered or quoted for a whole week.  Mubarak ran Egypt for 30 years yet the media could not find anyone in Cairo who supported him or the government.  When the media finally did mention PM factions, the coverage was pointedly negative.  PM’s were tagged as “thugs”, “goons”, “paid government stooges”.   It never occurred to anyone in the liberal media that there might actually be people in Egypt that – heaven forbid – support or approve of the Mubarak government.

Everything PM’s did was wrong while everything AM’s did was right.  On 2/4/11 Fox News reported an assassination attempt on Egypt’s new VP; two body guards were actually killed. Since this was likely perpetrated by an extreme AM group, however, the media and the Obama Administration have studiously avoided the subject. Why?

The media’s anti-government bias is also clearly exemplified by its ill-conceived attempt to rehabilitate the image of The Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is banned in Egypt for good reason: it tried to assassinate President Abdel Nasser; was officially accused of assassinating President Anwar Sadat; conducted numerous terrorist attacks in Egypt; openly opposes the Egypt-Israeli Peace Accord; wants to impose Sharia Law and; has ties to Al Qaeda. And yet, despite all these obvious red flags waiving high in the wind, the media now portrays the Brotherhood as a bunch of poor, misunderstood Boy Scouts.  But those Brotherhood guys know about real “blow-back” so the media and Obama should be very careful.

Mark these words: The liberal U.S. media will give The Muslim Brotherhood more sympathetic coverage than it ever gave the Tea Party.

In short, the media took sides instead of doing proper, neutral reporting.  As a result, PM’s perceive the media as anti-government and anti- Egypt.  This explains – but does not excuse – their hostility and violence towards the media. That sentiment might also be adopted by the Egyptian military which will not bode well for America’s influence in that region for many years to come.

“How does [the argument] relate to having two males or two females marry each other and have children as they have in California,” he questioned, the Times reported.”

It is a fact of nature that two males or two females cannot procreate, the primary purpose of cohabitation which mankind call marriage.

During his long (too long) years in the Senate, John McCain had always promoted himself as the quintessential “Maverick” who ran counter to Republican trends.  He constantly proved that when he co-sponsored the McCain-Feingold Bill (Campaign Finance Reform), opposed the Bush Tax cuts, supported global warming legislation, conspired with Ted Kennedy (and President Bush) to pass amnesty for illegal aliens and opposed the construction and improvement of the border fence.  McCain even sided with Obama on closing Gitmo. During his ill-fated run for President, McCain and Palin pushed that “Maverick” thing to the breaking point.

But all that changed when McCain ran for yet another Senate term. During the primary race he swerved 180 degrees out of phase with his previous positions on immigration.  He recently quipped that America should now “..build the dang fence” that he previously opposed. He then expressed strong support for AZ’s new immigration law when he opposed such legislation on many fronts before. The most dishonorable practice during the Primary, however, was his constant repudiation of the “Maverick” legacy he worked so hard to create during his 2008 presidential campaign.  In other words, McCain sold his soul, ethics, integrity and political legacy in return some measly primary votes. It was the most shameful display of crass political maneuvering since the Arlen Specter/Charlie Crist party switchbacks. It was such an obvious, despicable and cynical operation that even Steve Wonder could see the holes.   Say what you will about J.D. Hayworth, even with his mistakes he would have been true to his conservative values. Always.

But McCain has no honor. McCain has no “Code”.  His integrity lays naked and shattered at his clay feet.

Which brings me to the main point if this essay. In spite of this obvious and blatant McCain ploy, Arizona Republicans STILL voted for him.  They STILL voted for McCain despite his clear dishonesty on a core illegal immigration issue they feel strongly about.  In effect, Arizona Republicans invited McCain to lie to them again and renewed his gold-plated RINO License to revert to his old Republi-Dem positions.

And McCain will reverse himself – soon. He will break the hearts of many conservatives – again. And AZ Republicans will richly deserve his treachery because they are so gullible and dysfunctional. Sadly, the rest of America will also suffer because McCain is a major cog in the Washington ruling class system that is so disconnected from its citizens.

By my count, 74 Governors, Senators and Congressmen will not be part of the November General Elections, the “mid-terms.”  Some of the Governors are stopped by term limits, some Senators and Congressmen are retiring (wonder why?), one has been denied the nomination of his Party for reelection, Bob Bennett of Utah, two have been kicked out in the Primary, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Alan Mollohan of West Virginia,.  Two have resigned due to scandal, Mark Souder from Indiana and Eric Massa from New York.  Several others are running for another national or state office.

Unfortunately, we will not really know until November whether we have taken a major step toward returning our America to what it was and should be.  Until then there is an issue we must address.  The sooner we do so the better equipped we will be to handle the tide of swelling Socialism in the United States.

Everyone knows that the major problem is the liberals/Socialists in Washington, DC.  We must continue trying to get rid of as many liberal elected officials as we possibly can, but I have to tell you – it does not look too good from where I sit.

Incumbents whether Democrat or Republican are being elected in their primaries in overwhelming numbers.  Folks, we simply cannot march in our TEA Parties, stand on the steps of the Capitol or continue sending letters, emails and making phone calls telling our elected officials that they do not represent us, and that we will remember this in November if we keep reelecting them in the primaries.

It is true that some of the Democrats are getting a little worried about their jobs and trying to give the appearance of moving more centrist than left, but that is merely an act on their part.  You know that as well as I do.

In all fairness, I think some of the Republicans are getting our message as well, but it is much too little and much too late.

The Republican Party is being infiltrated by a group who want to change the Republican Platform and planks to a more socially liberal stance.  These are the Libertarians.  For years, they have had their own party.  The problem is, they have not been able to succeed in gaining much support from American voters – until now.  Their party is losing money and going bankrupt.  The party leadership are not even trying to rebuild their party – they are going to take over the Republican Party because of the established track record and the money issues.

The problem is, they do not want to maintain and grow the Republican Party.  Their one goal is to remake the Republican Party into the Libertarian Party while keeping the Republican Party brand.  Is this what Republicans really want?  Do the Liberty Republicans have any intention whatsoever of keeping the Republican Platform in tact?  Not for one second.

They have succeeded in gaining footholds in many of our primaries forcing some die-hard Republicans to consider voting for Democrats in November.  I do not blame them.  At least with a Democrat, you know what you are getting.

Libertarians are hiding in the Republican Party as Liberty Republicans.  They receive endorsements from Liberty Candidates.  All the while, this is still the Ron Paul Libertarian Party with all of its socially liberal viewpoints.  Ron Paul and his son, Rand Paul in Kentucky, have made bold speeches saying out-right that they want to “re-form” the Republican Party.

Michael Steele is not doing anything that I can see to avoid this takeover.  In fact, he is looking only for candidates “who can win the election.”  Such was the case with Dede Scozzafava in NY-23 last year.  What was the result of that fiasco?  She withdrew her candidacy and threw her support to the Democrat who eventually won the election.

If our elected officials are not willing or not aware of the situation to help stop this takeover, and if the leader of the Republican Party is not willing to stop it, what are we to do as voters in the Republican Party who are not willing to accept the platform changes the Libertarians will bring with them?  Make no mistake about it – it WILL happen.

I have a suggestion for all of us.  Tell the Republican Party to kiss your foot.  Stop sending money to them.  But if you do that, for whom will you vote?  What do you look for to get the conservative issues you demand and the representation you deserve?

The Conservative Party USA is waiting to welcome you home. Come to the place where only conservative issues are held and uplifted.  Support the party in your state.  If they haven’t established the Conservative Party in your state, why not be the one to get it started?  Candidates?  They are everywhere – living right next door to you.  Maybe even you.

It takes a lot of work to get a major political movement going and growing in the right direction.  Be part of the solution for America – not the problem.  Join the Conservative Party and show Americans what REAL Conservatism is and what it can do.  Get involved.  If we all work together, there may still be time to field our own Party Candidates in November.  Why not give it a try?

Who knows – you just might succeed.

Over half a legal-sized page remained filled with ways for me to send $500 (obviously the preferred amount since it is listed first), $250, $100, $50, $30, Other amount.  Don’t you just know that’s going to happen??!!

Well, I have filled out their little questionnaire, and when I mail it back tomorrow, it will also include this little hand-written letter from me.

The Republican Party will get not one red cent from me!

You have abandoned “our” conservative values and ideals as much as or more than the Obamacrats!

The only reason I will vote for even one Republican is because the Conservative Party has not yet met all the requirements for fielding candidates of our own.

You blew it with me when you failed to speak up for Sarah Palin and allowed the McCain campaign to throw her under the bus.

You lost my support when you said we need to move to the center of right.

You lost my respect when you abandoned a truly conservative candidate in NY-23, Doug Hoffman, in favor of a candidate who is anything but conservative.

You gave up any chance you had of earning my respect back by saying that we have to support the candidates that can win.

No!  No more!  Not one red cent from me!

Here is the address is you would like to join me in my determination to see to it that the Republican Party actually HEARS the conservative voices of America:

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

310 FIRST STREET S.E.

WASHINGTON, D.C.  20003

The latest to join the ranks of the unemployed of their own volition are Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and (thank God for answered prayers) Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut.  Bless their hearts they’re tired and ready to rest after their long illustrious (?) careers during which time they have sent America and Americans down the tubes.

It was Senator Dorgan, you may remember, who proposed an amendment to the Harry Reid Socialistic Health Care for a Socialistic America Bill to allow consumers to buy FDA-approved drugs from other countries.  In a twist of Harry Reid’s nose, the pharmaceutical industry in America opposed this amendment thus it was defeated in the Senate by a 51-48 vote.

Senator Dodd, of course, was responsible for the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle among others. He was also implicated as having received major kickbacks from Countrywide Financial Corp. which was under investigation by the Connecticut Attorney General’s office.

These two retirements are really good news for our Conservative voices.  They will have little lasting meaning unless we join together in North Dakota and Connecticut as well as our other 48 states to defeat the liberal incumbents who are seeking reelection in 2010 and have not as yet received our message.  Please be reminded that liberals are not only Democrats.  They are Republican, Liberty, and Independent party members also.

Find them, Conservatives of America!  Find them under whichever rock they are choosing to hide and let them know that we are deadly serious.  We WILL remove them from office in 2010 and replace them with truly conservative Representatives and Senators!

We must start this process in Massachusetts on January 19 by electing Scott Brown the fill the Teddy Kennedy seat.  Then one by one, we must unseat the others.  Be determined, Conservatives.

Our time is NOW.  Our voices are loud and we are in unison with our message.  “Liberal, you’ve taken us for granted for the last time!  We want your jobs!  And we WILL get them!”
