We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
Winston Churchill
Of course the Democrats don’t beleive this is true.
From the New York Post By Fredric U. Dicker
ALBANY - Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York’s junior senator, it was learned last night.
The surprising - and, for many Democrats shocking - decision to pick the conservative Gillibrand, 42, from Hudson in Columbia County, was disclosed by the governor in calls to party officials and some members of the state’s congressional delegation, many of whom said they were unhappy with the selection, sources said.
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson
What will it take for the Republican Party to renew itself?
It certainly isn’t going to be a lurch to the left as some Republicans have demonstrated in recent months, (cough, cough, John McCain).
NO!
It will take a return to the values that have made the Republican Party great. Strong moral values, Smaller government, lower taxes, getting government out of the way so that individuals can grab the American Dream. These are the things that the Grand Old Party, currently know as “Democrat Light” once stood for.
David Frum has started a new website to explore what it will take to renew the GOP. Brand new for your review is the NewMajority website. Check it out!
From the website….....
Our goal here at NewMajority.com is to renew and reform our Republican party and the conservative philosophy – so that we can again earn the confidence of the American people and govern responsibly and effectively. We don’t claim to have all the answers. We are sure that we are asking the right questions. And we have assembled and are continuing to assemble some of the most thoughtful people in the land to answer them. Most are Republicans. Some are ex-Republicans. A few (we expect) are on their way to becoming Republicans at some point in the future
Not a very optimistic stock rally on the inauguration of a new president.
The Dow drops 332 points today.
Democrats boo and jeer President George W Bush. That’s some real class!
If I was George Bush you couldn’t get me out of Washington DC fast enough!
From Occidental Soapbox The root causes of the Gaza conflict in less than 6 minutes
Forget everything the mainstream media tells you about the “cycle of violence” and the “peace process.” The conflict in the Middle East boils down to one issue; the imposition of Islam upon the world. Hamas, as a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, is perfectly open about its desire for a global Islamic caliphate. Such an enemy by definition can never be appeased, and must be destroyed

Orphaned!
The Democrat and Republicans In Name Only, (RINO)s, have lost touch with the American People. They have become the political elite and We the People have become "fly-over country." I am not a Nazi, a terrorist, a member of the KKK, a racist, or a member of an angry mob. I'm not a birther, teabagger, truther or astroturfer. I do, however believe in the original intent of the Founding Fathers, the United States Constituton and the rule of law. I believe that Government should serve the People, not the other way around. I’m an American and conservative to my very core.
I feel like an orphan.
An American Political Orphan.
