Double-D Strategy…

A strategy worth looking at. I am inclined to do just that.  Defund and disobey.

THE DOUBLE-D STRATEGY FOR RESCUING AMERICA
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

A friend of mine lives in Kona on the Big Island in Hawaii.  He has a fishing boat which he proudly named the 44-DD after a spectacular feature of his wife’s anatomy.  This is not about that sort of Double-D.

While it may be difficult to keep your mind off what that spectacular feature might look like – just as it’s hard to comply with the demand that you not think of a pink elephant – let’s try and focus on a Double-D that can rescue our country from the clutches of the Fascist Democrat Party and the destruction being wrought upon it by President Zero.

So – what does this Double-D stand for? It’s a strategy for any Republican wanting to get elected or re-elected to Congress in 2010, and for any Tea Partyer wanting to take individual action now against a government that ignores the Constitution.   Double-D stands for Defund and Disobey.

This is going to really be apparent when 2010 roles around. Can’t wait. Obama’s train wreck will come to a screeching halt.

Why leaderless Tea Parties are beating the GOP
By Richard Viguerie

Rasmussen reports the Tea Party Movement, which percolated only months ago, is beating the Grand Old Party.

That’s amazing — and good — news. A nascent grassroots movement is more popular than a long-established political party.

Republican Party leaders should be embarrassed. Instead, the Republican establishment disdains this populist uprising. Rather than embracing this genuine movement, establishment politicians and consultants are calculating how to co-opt, sideline or even defeat the newest phenomenon in politics – tea partiers.

Sarah Palin is out kicking ass. I hope the momentum carries over into 2010 and we get some real conservatives running in the GOP. If she backs them, you can bet your ass they’re conservative.

1500 wait in freezing weather to meet Palin on book tour
By Ed Morrissey

In case anyone needed an example of the drawing power and political energy that Sarah Palin wields, the Detroit Free Press report on the start of her book tour should fill the gap nicely.  Despite freezing temperatures, people gathered by the hundreds early this morning to greet Palin in person at a Grand Rapids bookstore.  By 5 am, five hundred people stood outside the Barnes & Noble — and two hours later, the numbers had swelled to 1500:

And that’s 4:55 this morning when the thermometer had dipped into the 30s. But the 500 or so people in line didn’t mind the sleepless night or the onset of winter.

Read an interesting article from the Guardian. The left leaning slant of the author is plain for all to see, but other than that it hits some good points. If you can stomach the liberal bent, it paints an interesting picture of the future of politics and the right wing.

The new wave of female firebrands striking fear into liberal America

Right-wing radicals are already pinning presidential ambitions on a mother-of-five from Minnesota who calls herself a ‘fool for Christ’ and condemns Obama as a socialist at the head of a gangster regime

She is a striking brunette with a decidedly outspoken attitude. She lambasts President Barack Obama as a socialist and has become the darling of America’s right-wing activists who flock to her appearances. She is hated by liberals and loved by conservatives.

Sarah Palin? Not quite. Meet Michele Bachmann, a Republican congresswoman from Minnesota who is being hailed as a new and increasingly powerful voice in American politics.

Newt Gingrich is a RINO. That moron just needs to shut the hell up and let the real conservatives step up to the plate.

What a buffoon.

Newt: From Churchill To Chamberlain In One Career
By
Dan

The Atlantic Wire rounds up some right-side opinions on Newt Gingrich as a result of his stance on NY-23. The unfortunate part of it is, I agree with Newt as far as ceding to local control. But he didn’t go far enough in terms of making a case for more conservatives to start getting involved. And one can make that case without actually endorsing Scozzofava, which was Newt’s fatal mistake. What a tragic goof.

He’s comfortably ensconced as a party elder right now, and even if his power within the GOP isn’t as strong as he might like, he gets plenty of media attention.

Good stuff. Stay vigilant.

Confessions of a San Francisco Tea Party Mobstress
By Sally Zelikovsky

When I first donned my mobster’s hat last April, clinging to it as I do my guns and Bible, I was embarking on a journey not only into the unknown but also into the unknowable:  unknown because, like most of my fellow mobsters, I had never attended a protest before; unknowable because we were in the unnerving position of having to react to the endless barrage of “hope and change” that would be hurled our way.  But don that hat I did along with hundreds and now thousands of others in the Bay Area.

Bay Area mobsters take protesting seriously:  they study the issues in preparation for an event, confer with permit officers and police before and during an event (we even thank them), create pithy but catchy signage to deflate their anger and, why the police love us most of all, clean up after the protest.

This could shape up to be quite the disaster for the Democrats. I can’t wait to see their faces as they’re tossed out on their asses.

Reading the Electoral Tea Leaves
By Bruce Walker

All eyes, for now, are focused on the gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey.  Will those races be referenda on Obama and the Democrats?  Yes, to some extent they will.  If Republican candidates win those two races, that reflects upon the Democratic Party and its national leader.  But off the national media radar, there are plenty of other smaller elections — special elections for state legislative seats — which already show serious political problems for the Democrats.

The following list shows:  (1) a particular state legislative seat which has held a special election in 2009; for example, the first race listed is the election results for the 89th District of the Maine House of Representatives, (2) the percentage of the vote that the Republican candidate running in that district received in the 2008 general election last November, and (3) the percentage of the vote that the Republican candidate received in a special election this year in the very same state legislative district.

Has he finally grown a pair? He needs to get off his ass and do more of this. Refute the Democrat BS at every opportunity. This is a good start.

Pay attention people. The only way to keep America prosperous and a free nation is to make the tax system fair. Everyone should have to pay taxes. If everyone paid taxes, there would be no chance for socialism. When everyone has a stake in the deal, the idiots in Congress wouldn’t be able to get away with it.

Not About the Money
By Alana Goodman

Opponents of free-market economics have often portrayed capitalists as greedy money-grubbers, but one conservative think tank is arguing that free enterprise is the foundation of a virtuous and moral society.

“Taxation is about fairness and freedom, it’s not about money,” said American Enterprise Institute (AEI) President Arthur Brooks at the Heritage Foundation on August 4th. “You can raise my taxes another five points. I’m not going to like it, but my kids are not going to go without shoes. What’s going to offend me is it’s going to make me less free and it’s not fair and it’s not American…And that’s a moral case. ”

An April 9th poll by Rasmussen Reports showed that Americans under age 30 were pretty much evenly divided on the question of whether they preferred capitalism or socialism, with 37% choosing capitalism and 33% choosing socialism.

I haven’t weighed in on this, but I think this article pretty much sums it up.

Sarah Palin rocks. She has class, and she’s a true conservative, and a true American.

Palin and Sanford: A Tale of Two Governors
By Bruce Walker

Two Republican governors, both considered rising stars — the “next Reagan” — have been prominent in the news the last couple of weeks.  Mark Sanford and Sarah Palin are both conspicuously religious, both defenders of states’ rights, both unabashed conservatives, and both relatively young and attractive.  One of those two, Mark Sanford, lied to the people of South Carolina, lied to his wife, and had an illicit affair.  He is now, presumably, intending to remain Governor of South Carolina — at least until the Almighty, his wife, and enormous political pressure compels him to resign.  Sarah Palin has been the subject of odious slanders, hit with frivolous ethics charges, and remained committed to her family throughout.  She has resigned from office and only hints at what her political future may be.
