Conservative Party (California)

Violence against anyone in the name of politics should be always condemned. That includes the current spate of intimidation and violence directed against the media covering the demonstrations in Egypt.  True freedom of the press is required if democracy is to take root in the Arab world.

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.

John McCain’s landslide victory over J.D. Hayworth in the Arizona RNC Primary just confirms what most true conservatives already knew: the Republican Party has devolved into a massive, hazy ball of abject confusion and entangled principles.  (more…)

Do you remember the 60’s song about Alfie, the lyrics of which begin, “What’s it all about, Alfie? What’s it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? The Christmas holiday season in the United States generally inspires one’s thoughts to that question, “What’s it all about?” I say it’s about the mystery of something greater than us. It provokes that thought today, and it did at the time of the Founding Fathers of this nation.

.” The Declaration of Independence makes four explicit references to our nation’s reliance on God.

God has blessed me in ways I would never have thought possible.  He has provided gifts that I never knew I wanted or needed.  I am very thankful for all these things, of course.

As I write this, I find myself being most thankful for family and friends who now reach from California through Arizona, to Texas, up to Kansas, across to Illinois, down to Louisiana, up to Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, down through North Carolina and then to Florida.

I wish for all of you the celebration of your thankfulness for God’s blessings in your own circle of family and friends. (more…)

A gentleman I know is really quite fed up with the Republican Party and the nonsense they have been promoting as candidates and issues recently.  He received a request for funds from his Congressional District in the form of a survey.

Like most of us who have formerly supported Republican candidates, he has come to the same conclusion others have.  “You’re not playing, so we’re not paying.”

He penned a letter and returned it in the survey envelope.  He gave me permission to reprint it here: (more…)

Three children have nine cupcakes.  Nine divided by three equals three.  Each child will have three cupcakes.

Equal distribution works every time, right?

Pretend two of the children are selfish.  They each want to have the most cupcakes so the two selfish children each steal a cupcake from the other child.  Now there are two children who have four cupcakes each and one totally unhappy child.

It is not my intention to make judgments as to the truth or falsehood of the policy or intention of my subject; or to equate the present administration with the wisdom or ignorance of the past. I think it is important that we all understand the root of why so many of us are frightened by the suggestion of changing America from the Democratic Republic we have been blessed to live in for our entire lives or that legal immigrants made a choice to live in for the rest of theirs. You must clearly understand that these are my personal opinions and I represent no other person, group or organization as I write this. You also need to know that I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of any political party.

The time has come for true Conservatives and like-minded Independents to secede from their respective parties and join the Conservative Party of the United States.

The Republican Party has consistently failed to uphold conservative principles on so many levels since Ronald Reagan that it can no longer be considered a legitimate representative of traditional American conservative values. That is especially true for California Republicans. The Conservative Party of California rectifies that shortcoming. (more…)
