reply to The Mount Vernon Statement

This is the statement February 17, 2010, intended to convince conservatives and Independents that the GOP has seen the light.

The Mount Vernon Statement
Conservative Beliefs, Values and Principles.
if you wish to sign this Statement, click link above;

'A Constitutional conservatism unites all conservatives through the natural fusion provided by American principles. It reminds economic conservatives that morality is essential to limited government, social conservatives that unlimited government is a threat to moral self-government, and national security conservatives that energetic but responsible government is the key to America’s safety and leadership role in the world.
I have looked the The Mount Vernon Statement over with a discerning eye and would rather we didn't concern ourselves with "A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE WORLD"It supports America’s national interest in advancing freedom
and opposing tyranny in the world and prudently considers what we can and should do to that end.

but as warnings to tyrants and despots everywhere. This interfrence in foreign sovereignty is troublesome and does not represent the majority view of Americans !

As well as "ADVANCING FREEDOM AND OPPOSING TYRANNY IN THE WORLD"...
Call it isolation or what ever you want, Trade and commerce is fine but meddling in another soverign States affairs can only lead to misery and war !


The Mount Vernon Statement

Constitutional Conservatism: A Statement for the 21st Century
We recommit ourselves to the ideas of the American Founding. Through the Constitution, the Founders created an enduring framework of limited government based on the rule of law. They sought to secure national independence, provide for economic opportunity, establish true religious liberty and maintain a flourishing society of republican self-government.

These principles define us as a country and inspire us as a people. They are responsible for a prosperous, just nation unlike any other in the world. They are our highest achievements, serving not only as powerful beacons to all who strive for freedom and seek self-government, but as warnings to tyrants and despots everywhere. (strike that)
Each one of these founding ideas is presently under sustained attack. In recent decades, America’s principles have been undermined and redefined in our culture, our universities and our politics. The selfevident truths of 1776 have been supplanted by the notion that no such truths exist. The federal government today ignores the limits of the Constitution, which is increasingly dismissed as obsolete and irrelevant.

Some insist that America must change, cast off the old and put on the new. But where would this lead — forward or backward, up or down? Isn’t this idea of change an empty promise or even a dangerous deception?

The change we urgently need, a change consistent with the American ideal, is not movement away from but toward our founding principles. At this important time, we need a restatement of Constitutional conservatism grounded in the priceless principle of ordered liberty articulated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

The conservatism of the Declaration asserts self-evident truths based on the laws of nature and nature’s God. It defends life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It traces authority to the consent of the governed. It recognizes man’s self-interest but also his capacity for virtue.

The conservatism of the Constitution limits government’s powers but ensures that government performs its proper job effectively. It refines popular will through the filter of representation. It provides checks and balances through the several branches of government and a federal republic.

A Constitutional conservatism unites all conservatives through the natural fusion provided by American principles. It reminds economic conservatives that morality is essential to limited government, social conservatives that unlimited government is a threat to moral self-government, and national security conservatives that energetic but responsible government is the key to America’s safety and leadership role in the world.(strike that)
A Constitutional conservatism based on first principles provides the framework for a consistent and meaningful policy agenda.

It applies the principle of limited government based on the
rule of law to every proposal.
It honors the central place of individual liberty in American
politics and life.
It encourages free enterprise, the individual entrepreneur, and
economic reforms grounded in market solutions.
It supports America’s national interest in advancing freedom and opposing tyranny in the world (strike that)and prudently considers what we can and should do to that end.

It informs conservatism’s firm defense of family, neighborhood,
community, and faith.
If we are to succeed in the critical political and policy battles ahead, we must be certain of our purpose.

We must begin by retaking and resolutely defending the high ground of America’s founding principles.

The TEA PARTY PATRIOTs don't need Karl Rove or the GOP;

In response to Karl Roves article in the Wall Street Journal


Why do I get the feeling that Karl Rove's reason's for the article were to get the Tea Party's to banish certain, in his (GOP's) and the elitist suits opinion, groups that may be a microcosim of the movement, but in no way the majority. We the people are the engine and the differences among us temper our resolve with the same balance as the Founders used to design our government of checks and balances.


Rove, "If tea party groups are to maximize their influence on policy, they must now begin the difficult task of disassociating themselves from cranks and conspiracy nuts. This includes 9/11 deniers, "birthers" who insist Barack Obama was not born in the U.S., and militia supporters espousing something vaguely close to armed rebellion."


Why would anyone, supposedley, sworn to "serve and protect the Constitution of the United States of America" feel threatened by a group whose Core Principles are;


"The Constitution of the United States of America instituted the government that secures our God-given rights.

The John Birch Society endorses the U.S. Constitution as the foundation of our national government, and works toward educating and activating Americans to abide by the original intent of the Founding Fathers. "We seek to awaken a sleeping and apathetic people concerning the designs of those who are working to destroy our Constitutional Republic."

Or, be distrustful of someone whose national origin is in doubt when that person has been shadowy, to say the least, when simple requests have been made for illumination on the subject - it's obvious, he is hiding something - it's as simple as that !




Some of us see no difference in what our fore fathers did in having muscle, Minutemen who tried to do what the Federal Govenment fell short of in it's, Constitutionally, few responsibilities vis protect the borders. Citizen Soldiers are necassary to let those with, temporary, power know they will not tread on us nor place their foot on our necks. This is as American as apple pie and is not only protected but expected by the founding fathers as handed to us in the Constitution.


The Militia groups agree that many members are deeply worried about gun control, are angered by the federal economic rescue packages, and are dismayed by government interference in areas such as health care. They voice frustration at what they perceive as America's international decline.

Tensions are running high and some fear major bloodshed springing from a minor event. A law enforcement official told the SPLC that "all that's lacking is a spark".

One of the new patriot groups is called Oath Keepers. Its members, like those in other groups, look for guidance from America's Founding Fathers.

Formed last spring, Oath Keepers' members – limited to current or former servicemen and police – swear to obey the US constitution rather than politicians.

It's disengenuous for those in Government to act surprised when it's their actions, or lack of, in some instances that flipped the 'American Self Preservation Switch' which is hard wired in every American Patriot.



As for the warning to the GOP's becoming entwined in the TEA PARTY's web while still harboring those unsavory American Patriots whose love of country far out weighs it's love for any political party, I say that you and your elitist bretheren still don't, and probably never will, get the fact that you have had your chance and have brought America to her knees. We sir can do know worse !


Mr Roves comments sound like self serving elitist crap that smacks of some feeble attempt at child psychology which could only be espoused from an elitist point of view.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts...But, as well, the whole can't exist without it's parts....


"It is in the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigour. . . . degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats into the heart of its laws and constitution."
Thomas Jefferson

Underpants Bomber

I don't know who is dumber. The Underpants bomber or AG Eric Holder ?

Unbelievable !

There is no end to this adminastrations snafu's.
First the underpants bomber is read his rights, lawyers up with a public (taxpayer paid attorney), then shuts up and is scheduled to be tried in NY and now, because of all that, they had to fly his family in from Africa to get him to talk ...At the taxpayers expense .....

Obama in the British Media

Here is an interesting editorial from someone outside our country as to what is going on!




If al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the rest of the Looney Tunes brigade want to kick America to death, they had better move in quickly and grab a piece of the action before Barack Obama finishes the job himself. Never in the history of the United States has a president worked so actively against the interests of his own people - not even Jimmy Carter.

Obama's problem is that he does not know who the enemy is. To him, the enemy does not squat in caves in Waziristan, clutching automatic weapons and reciting the more militant verses from the Koran: instead, it sits around at tea parties in Kentucky quoting from the US Constitution. Obama is not at war with terrorists, but with his Republican fellow citizens. He has never abandoned the campaign trail.

That is why he opened Pandora's Box by publishing the Justice Department's legal opinions on waterboardingand other hardline interrogation techniques. He cynically subordinated the national interest to his partisan desire to embarrass the Republicans. Then he had to rush to Langley , Virginia to try to reassure a demoralized CIA that had just discovered the President of the United States was an even more formidable foe than al-Qaeda.

"Don't be discouraged by what's happened the last few weeks," he told intelligence officers. Is he kidding? Thanks to him, al-Qaeda knows the private interrogation techniques available to the US intelligence agencies and can train its operatives to withstand them - or would do so, if they had not already been outlawed.

So, next time a senior al-Qaeda hood is captured, all the CIA can do is ask him nicely if he would care to reveal when a major population centre is due to be hit by a terror spectacular, or which American city is about to be irradiated by a dirty bomb. Your view of this situation will be dictated by one simple criterion: whether or not you watched the people jumping from the twin towers.

President Pantywaist's recent world tour, cozying up to all the bad guys, excited the ambitions of America 's enemies. Here, they realized, is a sucker they can really take to the cleaners.

His only enemies are fellow Americans

Reply to "American Public Policy Committee".

A new Web site, TheTeaPartyIsOver.org has connections to unions, including the Service Employees International Union SEIU run by Marxist Andy Stern, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.


The American Public Policy Committee pays for the site, whose self-declared mission is to “prevent the Tea Party’s dangerous ideas from gaining legislative traction.” and whose website boasts that it's the "Center For Responsive Politics"

But I submit, it's a progressive insurgent organization totally ok with subverting the Constitution Of These United States Of America, and replacing it with some twisted Communist manifesto that would make castro, Che, Mao, Hitler and Stalin blush with envy!





So here's my reply to them;

"You guys, predictably, are a bunch of Marxist idiots !
Those bankrupt, socialist programs you're so enthralled with, have no place in the Federal government...If a State, like California (broke) or Massachusettes (broke) Oregon or Washington (businesses are leaving by the droves) wants programs like that, Constitutionally, they can..You don't bother learning History because you're too busy burying it. But if you would learn a bit you'd realize that your communist pipedreams have been tried and failed miserably..You guys couldn't keep an American commune fiscally viable for more than four years....Massachusettes' socialized health care (Mit Romney) is a miserable failure along with Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and most distressing is what you've done to American Education. Your corrupt, progressive movement, which is only 30% of the population, is finished. You've awakened THE GIANT, you are finished, it's over.
Get used to it !

By the way, you place the right hand over the heart when saying the Pledge Of Allegiance !"

But of course, you knew that !

sincerely;

A very active
PATRIOT
