Dear President-elect Obama,

How are you going to build new roads and bridges like you said you are when we all know that you’re going to pull from the Highway Trust Fund to balance your budget just like Clinton did? After all, you’ve filled your staff with not only Clinton staffers, but the Clintons themselves!

You say you will modernize schools, but the Annenburg Challenge’s only purpose was to radicalize schools, teaching children to hate success and successful people, and teaching them to feel that the government owes them free hand-outs. You will seize charter schools from the people and force them into the public school bureaucracy, where their successes will be completely destroyed and they will suffer the same fate as all education in this country.

You say you will protect worker’s rights, but you support removing the Secret Ballot, which would allow tough Union bosses to forcefully expand their market destroying unions into every corner of the American economy and rot it from the inside out.

You say you bring change, but you’re only doing what every liberal President has done before you. You say you bring hope, and then have your handlers desperately try to lower people’s expectations.

You used your race as a tool for power instead of telling America that we are all the same race: We are all American, as my father once said to his 9th Grade English class.

Your whole life story is a rehash of the principles written by Saul Alinsky, that through bullying the American people and feeding them full of lies, that the liberal agenda can win, and he was right, to a point.

There is only one thing that you and your liberals fear, as Rumplestilskin feared his own name: the truth. When the conservative movement is united and stands against you with a true conservative candidate, your lies wash away in a sea of truth.

For our sake, I hope you abandon your liberal ideology and try to help this country through these tough times, but I know it in my heart that you are only out for yourself, and will run this country into the ground to satisfy your own lust for power.

Your administration will leave a Carter-sized path of destruction all over the country, but do not worry, because we’ve learned how to clean up your messes before. We’ve got experience. You sir, do not.

Ironically, the Snow Patrol song came up on my playlist, and it got me thinking about Congress’ new plan to bailout the automobile industry.

The problems of GM and Ford can be traced back to the very people that are trying to swoop in and save them: Congress. The Democrats, long-time supporters of the big labor unions, have increased pressure on the automakers to give ridiculously expansive health benefits and ridiculously overpriced paychecks to people for less and less actual work, and for much less quality. The unions are killing the goose that laid the golden egg: all of their demands are causing further and further damage to their employer, and now Congress is stepping in, wearing a golden cape woven from the campaign funds that these unions have given them, to graciously lend a helping hand to a struggling industry.

I don’t buy it, neither do the Republicans, and neither do the taxpayers.

There is a much larger issue at stake here however: the American automobile industry is intricately tied to our military. Who is going to produce our military Humvees? The Chinese? For the sake of national security, we cannot allow the American car companies to go under.

It is with that in mind that I begrudgingly accept that this bailout is needed, as we must keep the industry afloat until an overwhelmingly Conservative Congress and Conservative Presidency can help to break up these unions and restore life to our automobile industry, but in the mean time, let’s not forget who caused this mess in the first place and who is ultimately going to get the vast majority of this money: The Democrats and their union lobbyists.

Let’s waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.

Right out of the mouth of the beast:

“The ’60s, after all, was a time of rejecting obedience and conformity in favor of initiative and courage. The ’60s pushed us to a deeper appreciation of the humanity of every human being. And that is the threat it poses to the right wing, hence the attacks and all the guilt by association.”

As usual, I reflect back on my father’s wisdom from the 60′s. The irony of saying the 60′s was about “rejecting obedience and conformity” is simply absurd. The hippies of the 60′s simply rejected one obedience for another, and conformed to another group, that of the communists and communist sympathizers, (Oh dear, the dreaded C-word! Dare I say it in modern times to accurately portray a communist!) The 60′s was a large-scale demonstration of why liberalism and leftist ideology does not work, as Lyndon B. Johnson was a self-proclaimed liberal and started the Vietnam war as an ego trip, the Saul Alinsky-ites went around preaching sermons about why it’s cool to hate America and American values, (much as the Media does today,) and many of these people ended up within the education system, to indoctrinate a new era of ignorant mindslaves who think not with their heads, but by the seat of their pants, whose selective moral outrage can be turned on and off like a faucet. Of course, I wouldn’t expect an unrepentant terrorist to understand the truth, as the truth does more to damage leftist ideology than leftist ideology could ever hope to barrage people with lies.

As I wrote in my previous article: you must fight fear with unbridled truth, fight uncertainty with firm resolve, and fight doubt with decisive action.

As Ronald Reagan once famously said: “Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.”

The evening of November 4th for me was much like the episode of South Park, with enthusiastic Obama supporters on the verge of celebratory rioting in the streets, and myself desperately trying to sleep and convince myself that the world isn’t going to take the next exit to the very depths of hell itself.

The pundits are busy microanalyzing every piece of everything the Republican and Democrat campaigns did, making their own assumptions and ideas about why the Republicans lost and why the Democrats won. Our fairweather friends like Mrs. Noonan say that conservatism lost, that McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin cost the Republicans, and that they were correct in saying the Democrats were going to win anyway, and we should just bow down and take it. They are essentially repeating the same I-Told-You-So mantra of the election prior.

Conservatism, when it is tried, wins every time. McCain made his career on opposing President Bush and the rest of the Republican party, and Obama’s ultimate victory came by casting himself to the right of McCain, just as many Democrats have before when going up against moderate Republicans. This election was not a “mandate” as the pundits suggest, nor is it a referedum on the policies of President Bush, (indeed then, they would have selected McCain, as Obama is more in line with Bush policy than even they realize,) it was a battle of “throw the bums out”, superior campaigning, and rallying the base.

The essential truth of 2008 is that conservatism is alive and well, and we as a party must return to these basic principles, of small government, of superior national defense, of personal liberty, of tax cuts and economic policies that promote innovation, investment, and economic growth, not destroy it. We must take a hardline stance against pork-barrel projects, and must begin to hand control of the party to the future conservative leaders, and take a strong stance in favor of technological innovation and keeping the Internet free of government-imposed restrictions that limit its original purpose.

Instead of just pointing out what Obama is doing wrong, we must point out what we would do right, and why our results will work better. We must work to promote our ideals instead of working to promote our own political careers. This congress will perhaps be the most corrupt and inethical congress in the history of this nation. We must take up the mantra of “Change” and truly bring that to the Congress and the Presidency. We must let people know how their Congress and President have abandoned them, and that we intend to bring true “change” through ethical reform and stamping out the special interests.

We must build a grassroots effort to dwarf that of George Soros and his Shadow Party. We must begin our stealth campaigns now to undermine his efforts and to let people know the truth behind the Democrat party, as it is revealed to them by their own eyes. We must call on the young to join with the old and lead what we shall call the Second Great Conservative Revolution, where we will not rebuild what was lost, we shall merely reclaim what was forgotten. We will counter the Democrats’ tactics of fear with our gospel of truth, we shall counter their uncertainty with our firm resolve, and we shall cast away all doubt by demonstrating to the American people that their country has not and will not abandon them in their time of need.

We must let the Democrats know that we will not simply stand aside as they try to erode away the basic institutions and beliefs that this country was founded on. We must let them know that there is a God, and they are not Him, and are not entitled to remove His place from our country and national identity. We must fight to preserve the basic freedoms and liberties passed on to us by our forefathers and carry their burden of defending them against those that wish to take them away.

We must protect our borders while passing meaningful immigration reform to cut the bureaucracy that exists within the naturalization system. A country without borders is hardly a country at all, but we must keep the door of opportunity open.

If we follow our basic principles such as these, the people will again reward us with the honor of serving them. We are elected as public servants, not in pursuit of our own ideals, and must always be mindful of this. We are here to do what is right for the nation, not what is of our own personal benefaction. If we adhere to these basic principles, we and the country will emerge stronger for it.
