A Hiccup!

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

House Speaker Paul Ryan can’t yet bring himself to support Donald Trump on the misconstrued grounds that Trump does not meet Republican principles. He said: “the party needs a standard bearer who meets our standards.” Just what are “our standards” and now, who cares? Here’s a clue for Speaker Ryan: the GOP has no standards except to have constantly yielded to the left’s demands for social changes, trashing the constitution, looting the treasury and gratifying their own sense of personal power. That’s why Donald Trump is the party’s presumptive “standard bearer” and not one of the malleable simpletons the party would have preferred.

Besides, who is the party? Is it really Ryan and the careerists, who are actually removable politicians, or we the people? I’ve never really trusted Mr. Ryan but I especially don’t after his ramrodding Obama’s Omnibus Spending Bill through the allegedly conservative house, as John Boehner arranged before he was kicked out of office.

Mr. Ryan want’s a rapport between Trump and the party to bridge the gap “to do what’s best for the American people.” Mr. Ryan said: “most of the burden for unifying the party must come from the nominee (Trump).” I think the conservative American people have already made that decision, the Republican party, and Speaker Ryan, be damned. But, this is a mere hiccup!

We can extrapolate the misery that is the GOP’s by accepting that any and every GOP representative who thought it expedient for their careers to vote for that bill needs to be replaced at this election by a citizen oriented representative who might have enough sense to occasionally vote “No.” Where are the good men and women when we need them?

Unrecognized by Speaker Ryan and the self-anointed party ”elites,” the lobbyists and the professional consulting class, is that they have lost the battle for the conservative base, the one they despise so vehemently but need so desperately. They cannot abide Trumps message which is not theirs. Let’s examine Trump’s message: Against all advice to the contrary, Trump continues his pledge to enforce immigration laws. The Chamber of Commerce won’t like that but the base does! Trump said he will negotiate better trade deals because American is getting “raped” in trade deals when it doesn’t need to be. He said would rebuild our military, reestablish our presence in the world and thus provide for our national security. When we are safe, so is the rest of the world.

Trump’s message is both conservative and hopeful. Trump knows how to get things done and he’s going to fulfill his promise to “make America great again.” What a message! He certainly understood what the voters want, most of whom are infuriated at the leadership who have consistently refused to do what was best for Americans, according to Republican principles.

Trump has created fundamental hopefulness that will become even more clear as time passes. Trump said: ‘I know how to fix this problem and it’s been bad leadership, bad decisions, and you paid the price for it, and we’re gonna fix it.” That’s a fighter speaking.

The American Conservative voters have said they like Trump and voters in other states have affirmed, by the electoral victories he has achieved and the size of the vote he has garnered, that he can win. Against Hillary, he will win easily. Rush Limbaugh believes he will win by a blowout. The outrage against Trump is a mere hiccup. The real battle coming is who will the “elites” want to force on us for their Vice-Presidential choice? A lot of good names are out there almost any one of which would do well in that job. Is it time for a woman or an old Pro?

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!. (06May 2016)

A Wild Wind Blows Bitter Weeds

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

In light of Donald Trump’s decisive win in Indiana and Ted Cruz’s inevitable decision to abandon the chase, it only remains for the remnants of the GOP, if they wish to remain a political party of any significance, to rally around Trumps flag and ride the wild wind wherever it may blow them. It is time for the GOP to reap the bitter weed for the failure over the past twenty years to pursue conservative politics. Conservatism is not dead, it was simply allowed to rot away in the hands of political grifters bent on their own enrichment and power.

As for John Kasich, organize a search party to find his remains and bury him somewhere in a lonely boot hill for obstructive politicians where he should remain lost but not entirely forgotten, a pitiful example of ego driven self-delusion even in the face of weekly rejection. Such should be the price to be paid for his unsustainable beliefs in his own exceptionalism. When the numbers don’t add up, either find a new accountant or find a new job. But, he’s like a bad penny.

John Kasich is a numbers cruncher and he’s very good at it apparently. If he is not actually buried in a boot hill, then resurrect him and make him Secretary of the Treasury or director of the IRS. That’s where a number cruncher of his calibre could best serve. As a final comment on brother Kasich, I note the press continuously referred hm as the third place contestant even though he had less than 200 delegates on his score card. Actually, Kasich was forth place because little Marco still has more delegates and he dropped out weeks ago. Just saying!

Ted Cruz is a remarkably engineered human being, totally dedicated to the American philosophy, its constitutional values and its God given promise for a nation unique in the annals of history. Even though he comes to us as a Canadian born Cuban with an American mother (making him quite eligible of course), he is possessed of high intelligence, vast communication, debating and speaking skills, accompanied by a thick resume of constitutional, and legal accomplishment making him the most suitable replacement for Antonin Scalia or, for any job in government to which he may aspire, even President someday. But mostly, the Supreme Court beckons as his calling, a venue where he is no stranger and is far more qualified than Kagen or Sotomayor.

So, the hoopla of this nomination circus is about over. It only remains to stage the big show in Cleveland and be done with it. A few more states still have their primaries of course, and breathless media commentators will expound for awhile on VP choices and saving the GOP, but at the moment there remains still, only one presumptive candidate.

We must now turn our attention to the lesser elections, those of the US Senate, House, and local jobs to be filled, hopefully, by conservatives. In 2014, we gave the Senate to the Republicans. They immediately enshrined a nincompoop as their leader based, not upon quality, fight, determination or drive, but seniority. In these perilous times, that a deliberative body would free themselves from the demands of logic and cling to outdated and archaic modes of determining a leader, simply defies reason.

It remains for us, the conservatives out here, to separate the wheat from the chaff, to commence the painful job of removing failed politicians and replace them with real conservative warrior-politicians who are of the caliber of Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Tom Cotton. We the people must now take charge of the selection process because it is the American people who elevated Trump, not the party. They just didn’t get it. It’s a bitter weed they must now swallow. Remember, freedom is the goal, the constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (5 May 2016)

The Glory of the Obama Legacy

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

This years annual Washington’s Correspondence Dinner, Obama’s last try as a stand up comedian, disintegrated into a tawdry example of second class citizens laughing at uncouth third class jokes by an almost unknown negro comedian who, because he was a negro and on the cast of Saturday Night Live, assumed he could freely use trash talk, including the “N” word to describe America’s first half black president, without repercussion. We wait!

It is now a day or two later and apparently, he was correct. We see or hear of no repercussions from the liberal, far left media so can we suppose that the pendulum is swinging back, and it’s once again okay to use the “N” word. Fat chance!

This dinner was a celebration of Obama’s blackness, a tepid recognition, supposedly, of his accomplishments. Whatever he has done, will forever be cast in the light of the liberal mantra of ‘doing good and meaning well.’ One article I read said it was the start of Obama’s canonization, where he will soon become sweet Jesus, then Saint Obama. Too bad he’s not Catholic! Sad actually, because Islam has no Saints and he is no prophet! He has no where to go.

Let’s briefly examine his accomplishments: Obama touts, as his major achievements, the unenforceable and collapsing Iranian nuclear agreement. He brags about his Paris climate accord and his Asian nations trade deal (TPP). Nowhere does Obama, or his mouth pieces, make a clear case why these issues matter or how they advance our national well being.

Yet, he claim no responsibility, not even marginally, for the Libyan debacle, the Benghazi murders, Fast and Furious, the less than 3% annual GDP for eight years, the loss of America’s work force, the importation of Islamic Jihadists, or the disaster that is Obamacare. Admittedly, Osama bin Ladin’s death did occurred on his watch and somehow he has managed to get the GOP to fund all his schemes, soaring America’s debt and deficits to near bankruptcy levels.

Obama’s self image is that he is a wise, strong leader who stands courageously committed to his Progressive principles in enforcing unconstitutional domestic policies; his determination to stamp out the 2nd amendment, his regret that Americans refuse to embrace his global warming climate policies that is allegedly threatening the environment, and the desperate need that government must increase taxes on the producers and the wealthy, to fund his wild schemes.

One must certainly ask just who is this wonderful man and why isn’t he doing things for the country instead of against it? Well, it’s because Obama is clueless when it comes to governing. He practices a “let’s wait and see” policy before rendering any decision, but only after collision with his Progressive brain trust.

No president has ever demonstrated such sheer incompetence in foreign affairs. His foreign policy has been a failure involving America in campaigns it can no longer afford to fix. His indecision, both militarily and diplomatically, failed to remove Bashar Assad from Syria, (remember his “red line”) thus encouraging the genocide that followed, the involvement of Russia and Iran in that country and the total loss of US influence, with friends and allies alike.

The Egyptians managed to repair his meddling in their affairs with the violent ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama’s learned reaction: “We have determined that we don’t need to make a determination.” Maybe, but history will! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!

Looking Back, Looking Forward

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

How do we put the awful legacy of the past eight years of Obama behind us? How do we disengage from the imposed, stupefying social forces of top down management over our lives, and return to a proven form of successful government by the people, from the bottom up, that provides dignity in labor and wealth creation through personal sacrifice and hard work by a work ethic of self-determination like our Constitution promised?

Governments role is to protect and encourage us, not inhibit us by picking winners and losers through policies that have failed time and again throughout history, the world over. Government should not stop us, as individuals, from pursuing our dreams and goals, nor force us to pay for the wants and demands of the losers. Ted Cruz got this far.

Trump has said that American interests lie in production not ideological hopes. America’s foreign policy should be conducted in America’s interests, not in the interests of world banks or trade organizations.“America First will be the major and overriding theme of my administration.”

Trump repudiates isolationism by seeking to develop an American-focused internationalism which marks a major difference with what our governments foreign policy has been for the past couple of generations. “We will no longer surrender this country, or its people, to the false song of globalism.” Those important goals cannot be achieved while Americans retain no confidence in their country’s leadership, especially the GOP’s.

Trump said that no country ever prospered when it failed to put its own interests first.
America’s policies, especially under Obama, have been directed to trying to achieve impossible goals in foreign lands, where the denizens who live there don’t want them. Fascist Islam will always trump democracy when given the opportunity. Trump see’s this and asks why?

An “America First“ policy necessarily must look to protecting its borders. Americans are shocked that our politicians are less interested in defending our borders then those of foreign countries. To succeed, Americans must truly believe that their government is once again putting the American people first especially on the issues of trade, immigration, foreign policy, jobs, and restoring the personal incomes potentials of genuine American workers, not foreigners.

Trump has said: “we will no longer surrender this country, or its people, to the false song of globalism. That the nation-state remains the true foundation for happiness and harmony.” Trump continued he was: “skeptical of international unions that tie us up and bring America down, and (he) will never enter America into any agreement that reduces our ability to control our own affairs, and that “no American citizen will ever again feel that their needs come second to the citizens of foreign countries.” Now, why didn’t Ted Cruz say it that way?

And, best of all, Trump said: “We will not apologize for becoming successful again, but will instead embrace the unique heritage that makes us who we are. The world is most peaceful, and most prosperous, when America is strongest. America will continually play the role of peacemaker. We will always help to save lives and, indeed, humanity itself. But to play that role, we must make America strong again. We must make America respected again. And we must make America great again. If we do that, perhaps this century can be the most peaceful and prosperous the world has ever known.” I see a path forward, don’t you?

Unity

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Picture this: a brash, loud mouthed New Yorker goes to Alabama and 35,000 cheering people show up to hear him speak. He goes to North Carolina and as many thousands rally to his words. Everywhere he goes, thousands rally to hear him. That New Yorker is Donald Trump. His constant, unchanging message is: America first, build a wall, deport all illegals, stop the flow of Islam into our country until we can figure this thing out and close down the Muslim training camps scattered throughout America. I thinks that’s unifying. I think because of Trump, Americans are now becoming more unified then since WWII. Obama certainly hasn’t unified us.

No other candidate has matched Trumps ideas about making America Great Again, an appeal that a majority of Americans who, by the very fact of their attendance in their thousands at his rallies, clearly suggests that he has found the common theme under which Americans will unite, and that he knows what Americans, other than Hillary and that crowd, need, want and expect. Americans are uniting behind his message. It didn’t have to be Trump. It could’ve been Cruz.

Our country is in a dismal mess and it’s the politicians who brought us here.The Republican Party is revealed as a gutless, frightened group of careerists, refusing to stand by Republican principles, Ted Cruz, & Mike Lee excepted. We are overrun by illegal aliens and we want it stopped. We are threatened by Jihadists and we want it stopped. We send our work abroad and we want that stopped too. If Trump is crude, so what, he tells it like it is. We know that as a businessman in New York, he must often grease the palms of politicians (think Senator Hillary Clinton) to get things done and, we really don’t care that he readjusts his positions, argues with idiots, or suffers fools like the media commentators thrown at him.

Trump fights and that’s what we care about. He doesn’t deviate from his main message to make America great again and we know that if he has the skills to run a very large business successfully, he can damn sure run our country, successfully. Our country has been sorely weakened by Obama and Progressivism. It’s nearing bankruptcy; we are politically impotent in our foreign policy (we don’t have any); our enemies ridicule us, our friends fear us for our lack of commitment, and we are doing nothing to stem the invasion by Islam, indeed encouraging it by actively importing Jihadists into our country as legal emigrants. Americans are uniting!

We have become a nation of victims where nearly every nonwhite skinned individual belongs to a special interest victim group demanding rights and privileges we don’t even recognize. Trump is the only guy who seems to understand that for America to be great again, all citizens must contribute by their labor; he knows that government doesn’t create jobs, only inhibits it and spends taxpayer money unwisely, fills its own worker ranks with many incompetents who can’t be fired, and blatantly disses and dishonors our country’s veterans.

America won’t ever be great again so long as we continue to fearfully cling to a government that encourages dependence, demands we recognize multiculturalism and accept sexual deviancy, promotes divisions by wealth, race and alleged privileged status while redistribution (stealing) one groups earnings to give to another. When such practices are cheered and applauded as America’s new Progressive way for an American utopia, then somebody like Trump is desperately needed. Americans will unify under a fighter. Trump’s a fighter!

The free speech exercise we now see going on by the illegal hoards in California, in their anti-Trump protests, is evidence enough we have gone too far. Time for America to unify.

For The GOP, The Party’s Over

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Mr. Steve Hayes, a Weekley Standard columnist, who appears frequently on the FOX News channel with Bret Baier said recently, rather as an aside, that he heard rumblings from inside sources that in light of Trumps apparent inevitability, the RNC was actually considering running as a third party. Say what? Cn we say desperation?

This reveals the crack in the dam against which no finger of a little boy will suffice to hold back the tide of angry Americans who have finally been liberated from the chains of GOP party enslavement by Donald Trump because they now know they have constantly been betrayed by the party for the past twenty or more years, most certainly the last eight, and want no more of it. The party’s breaking up on the rocks and shoals of their own deception and incompetence.

Mr. Hayes, whether he acknowledges it or not, spoke clearly on behalf of the RNC, as an anti-Trump’r, who cannot believe what he is witnessing, the loss of the party’s authority over its minions, and their money. Oh, the thought is too horrible to bear! Interestingly, his comment opened a crack in the door allowing us to peek into the party’s meltdown and view its desperation over events they no longer control but of their own making. Is a divorce eminent? Of course it is. It’s already started. The party’s over!

After the recent five north-east states primary delegate selection, that Trump swept in all categories, Newt Gingrich told the party it was time to accept the Trump phenomena because his nomination is now a done deal and anything that remotely had GOP fingerprints on it as altering the course of what conservatives voters want, i.e.: Trump, and a new course for America, will be the kiss of death for the GOP. They know this, that’s why the third party nonsense. This happened before in our early history to the “Bull Moose” party and the “Copperheads” but, they weren’t the main parties and all but died at birth.

The “elite,” “establishment,” career,” GOP politicians, however you wish to identify them, have demonstrated a gross mismanagement of conservative politics by abandoning the principles upon which conservatism was originally founded and, instead, joined hands with the corrupt Progressives (democrats) in gleefully looting the treasury. It continues to this day. What could be a grosser violation of the public trust than a vote for the Omnibus Spending Bill? Nothing else matters. Only America’s survival, as America, matters and yet the GOP have failed us.

Now, at election time, we must listen to the varied excuses of our failed politicians tell us why they thought it necessary to abandon their public trust, spend money we don’t have, further our country’s path to financial Armageddon, while hoping, nay, pleading that we return them to office because they now see the light and they’re really good guy’s.

Trump started the ball rolling. This election provides a great opportunity to continue the changes in our political representation. Nine of our GOP representatives (from Georgia) voted for the Omnibus Spending Bill. They did so because, like Obamacare, it was thrust upon them without discussion or time to read it and just a day or two before it had to be voted on. They opted to “go along.” That’s not the way to spend the peoples money. That’s not why they’re there. They made a bad decision and must pay for it. None of these people are entitled to keep their jobs. They have to earn them to keep ‘em. I haven’t seen that happening, have you? So now do your duty and throw the bums out.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now go get ‘em!, (27 April 2016)

Budgeting – Tripwires and Landmines

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

The 2015 Budget Control Act, agreed to by both parties and the Obama Administration, that should have set spending levels to not exceed $1.06 trillion, was tossed out by the GOP when they passed the Omnibus Spending Bill for 2016, a vote so contentious that ‘conservative’ congressmen everywhere, who voted for it, are being challenged for their seats simply on that basis alone. They seem to forget that no politician is entitled to keep their seat. It’s ours!

Indeed, discretionary spending levels in the Omnibus Bill now exceeds, by $50 billion, the levels originally agreed to in the 2015 Act. Demonstrably, this was a gross betrayal of trust between Republican law makers and the base, and smart voters know it. As I mentioned previously, the BCA set a maximum amount of discretionary spending and not a goal to be met. This continues year after year and, as I understand it, America is broke. We cannot conduct our household spending that way, why do we allow Congress to do so?

Now we are facing FY 2017 with still rising spending levels threatening to exceed the new caps. Obama will be gone but his programs will linger. The same will happen in 2018 unless and until, we can remove legislatures who refuse to stop spending tax payers money we don’t have!

Are you aware of the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCC) fund? Agreed spending levels under the Bi-partisan Budget Act (BBA), stand at $73.7 billion. Defense gets $58.8 billion and non-defense gets about $15.0 billion (for this year). In other words, OCC spending has increased $16.0 billion every year regardless of attempts to reign it in and set workable limits.

Who would have thought? Of that OCC money, $8 billion will be allocated to cover the State Departments base budget needs and will not therefore, be applied to the anti-terrorist war effort or military defense. In other words, the OCC funds to the State Dept., is simply a “slush fund” of non-defense discretionary spending that allows the administration, through the State Dept. to continue to meddle in foreign affairs without DoD involvement. I suspect they really know.

It even gets worse. While it sounds nice, the Omnibus Bill increases emergency spending by $7.1 billion for natural disasters and ,“presidential declarations of other disasters,” i.e.: the round up of designated pro-American, pro-constitution, tea party groups, as authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act. I’m just saying. The triggers are there. Watch for ‘em!

Another $1.5 billion is provided to combat medicare and medicaid waste, fraud and abuse with $698 million to be provided to the Dept. of the Interior for emergency declarations. They’re talking forest fires, that sort of thing, but, does Bundy Ranch or Burns, Oregon come to mind?

Other catch-all gimmicks embedded in the Omnibus Bill is the CHiMPs program, meaning Changes in Mandatory Programs to increase spending, in language cunningly designed to bust through and increase the agreed to discretionary spending caps. Is there no end to perfidy? This CHiMPs program should be entirely eliminated by a new congress as the fraud it is.

These few paragraphs only illuminate two or three outrages perpetrated on taxpayers through GOP’s stealth, guile and malfeasance. The Congress itself is an exercise in waste, fraud and abuse. Something must be done about it. How about tossing out the old and putting some new folks in there! It may also be time to return to a Base Budgeting Program as well.

Societal Retrogression

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

I stand in amazement viewing the retrogression of modern society and our leaders slobbering acquiescence to it on grounds of what is politically correct so as not to hurt other peoples feelings, especially our college students, the Constitution and the rule of law be damned.

For example, Socialism, as many times as it has been tried in the last two hundred years in countries around the world has failed with societies ultimately collapsing into chaos followed by dictatorial suppression with the oligarchs of banking and industry backing the winning mob. Winston Churchill said: “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy,” and yet, even today, we stand amazed at the happy talk message of Bernie Sanders, an avowed Socialist, aka: Commie and the blithering campaign of the unsuccessful but politically driven liar, Hillary Rodham Clinton as well.

America moral values has forever been based upon Judeo-Christian values. Our forefathers were wise enough to have learned from the English experience that the values of a state imposed religion causes problems so, they wrote a simple sentence in the 1st Amendment prohibiting a state religion. Now suddenly there is a separation of Church and State idea that came from a speech by Thomas Jefferson, which seems to impose state control over our private and personal feelings on the subject of religion because it would be “unfair” to the sicko’s, weirdo’s and the sexually challenged lest they should be chastised on moral grounds.

This idiocy even extends to demanding our acceptance of such ignorant ideas as Wiccan’s and Satanists requiring normal people to accept the abnormal. Hence the LGBT, gay marriage, the puzzled trans-gender crowd demanding to use any rest room they feel fits their needs for the day without fear of having their brains kicked in for their perversion.

And then the big one, the fraudulent religion of peace, the fascist life form that slithered out of the primordial slime of early societies trying to justify themselves by enslaving others. Today, Europe is besieged by active members of the religion of peace. Their terrorists outrages against European society, and American too, are protected by our leaders, especially Obama, who claims Islam has been hijacked by non muslims. I’m not convinced! Obama goes out of his way to support, encourage abet, save, justify and welcome this clear evil to our shores. Indeed, Brower College, is hosting an Islam awareness week, April 4 to 8. A poster to that effect is on display upon which someone has penciled, on the top left corner, “Sura 9:5.”

Sura 9:5 is the ninth chapter, fifth verse of the Qur’an. It say’s: “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, (tax) let them on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” Hardly the religion of peace, without first submitting to it.

Also Muslims are directed to: “not wait until you find them. Rather, seek and besiege them in their areas and forts, gather intelligence about them in the various roads and fairways so that what is made wide looks ever smaller to them. This way, they will have no choice, but to die or embrace Islam.” Does not Ft. Hood, San Bernardino, Boston, Chattanooga, Paris and Brussels and 9/11 provide a vivid example of muslims following thIs edict? Is this what we want, along side the Wiccan’s and homosexuals, to run our lives? Know that Islam does not mean Peace. It translates to submission! Societal retrogression indeed!

GOP Incompetence or Betrayal?

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

The mire that the GOP finds itself in is of their own making. A luncheon friend caused me to realize that it was actually we, the base conservative voters of the GOP, who are in fact, the RiNO’s (Republican’s in name only), and that the corrupt ones, those destroying the party’s brand are, in fact, “Establishment Politicians, who also happen to be Republicans.” Simple as it appears, that’s a significant reversion, a slight change of direction in the cognitive thinking process to square away why we need to scrap the whole apparatus and start over again.

It is from this point that I now believe I can arrange my thoughts so that it doesn’t appear that I’m attacking the GOP brand, as we don’t really have a brand any more, but attack the infection that has altered that brand, thanks to the Karl Roves, McConnell’s, and the army of go along to get along congressmen who vote how they are told to vote by the Chamber of Commerce crowd, i.e.: big money and corrupted business.

Here’s a thought. If either the Cruz or Trump campaigns are thwarted by the “Establishment” crowd at the convention, to insert their candidate (enter name here), then I will as quickly re-register as an Independent, as many others I know will also do. I know this because it is a point of constant discussion here in North Georgia’s extra conservative 9th Congressional District.

This failure of our Establishment Republicans to conduct the nations legislative business, as the conservatives they claimed they are, has led to the political malise we are now experiencing and brings into focus the true nature of the Establishment GOP’s leadership. They’re dangerous!

We have lost confidence in our representative congress because they say one thing and vote another, not at all in keeping with their statements. They can no longer be trusted to do as they said they would do. Even our own Congressman, Mr. Doug Collins, a good man, a serving Air Force Reserve Chaplain, a Baptist Preacher, and a loving father and family man, all the qualities expected of a conservative Republican, has still managed to disappoint and his campaign for a third term is now challenged by at least three other candidates. Keep in mind that an incumbent is not necessarily entitled to keep his/her seat. They can be tossed out, and should.

And still, we have a dangerous lame duck president who seems to be getting his job done. Our GOP gave him a pass with the Omnibus Spending Bill to carry him past the election. Obama now has a chance of leaving office before Iran and North Korea’s nuclear hopes are realized. The “global warming industry” is gleeful about the Paris climate change agreement passed with little American opposition. Guantanamo is being drained of its hard core al Qa’ida terrorists because, by presidential fiat, the Jihadists operatives there are no longer deemed to present a threat. The US Treasury has intruded itself into private business by preventing large companies from merging with smaller foreign companies to move their headquarters offshore and reduce their excessive US tax burdens. One has to admit, that’s not bad for a lame duck president with a Republican Congress, is it?

Just for laughs, I encourage readers to look up the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2011 and see what they all agreed to. Then the BCA of 2015 and the numbers will jump out at you. Already, that act has become useless as a spending control mechanism. The act sets a maximum amount for discretionary spending, not a goal to be obtained. It has been exceeded each year. Why does the GOP participate in Democrat set agenda’s, even now with both houses in GOP hands? Look for the answer in corruption, disguised as “doing the peoples business.”

The GOP Hustle

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Mr. Kevin McCarthy, majority whip under Speaker, Paul Ryan, on behalf of the NRC, sent out a desperate email beseeching conservatives to “chip in” a contribution (enter your amount) to save the nation. The threat to our nation implies the fear that Nancy Pelosi would return as speaker again and it will be our fault if we don’t send them some money. So, what’s new?

I stopped sending the GOP money when I realized they used my contribution to defeat real conservative candidates who stood against establishment RINO incumbents. Well, their pleas fall upon deaf ears when they ask me. I’m done with ‘em and, for that very reason! Also, the way government squanders, wastes and over spends our tax money, I’d stop sending them anything either if I wasn’t afraid of being hassled all they way off to jail.

Want to send the GOP another strong message? Don’t send them any more money; send it only to your candidate of choice instead. But, it doesn’t really matter! The crony capitalism crowd have it and will pay off the bill to guarantee that corrupt politicians, including Hillary and Pelosi, will continue to keep them in business.

For example, the establishment simply hates Ted Cruz because he’s not a team player, he’s not one of “them.” They consider it their absolute duty to burn him at the stake and make of him a male version of Joan d’Arc, an unrepentant miserable soul who doesn’t understand his place in the establishment and needs to be made an example of so that even his ashes wouldn’t be recognized. I suspect they’re fast running out of choices.

Then the really big shock, Donald Trump, energizing voters by clumsily speaking the truth about the political corruption we have long been paying for and focusing us on the real dangers to America, Illegal aliens, Muslim jihadism, ATF armed drug cartels, wealth crushing tax loads and other myriad unworkable government programs that now burden us.

Expecting this loud, boisterous self-funded multi-billionaire to implode at any moment, because of the wild things he said, hasn’t happen. He grows. Their own pick, Jeb Bush, couldn’t handle the assault and lo, he’s gone, but not forgotten. The Establishment simply doesn’t know how to handle their double gigantic problem, Trump and Crus, except to approach it, not with honest competition, but through skullduggery, lies, innuendos, accusations and orchestrating minor criminal charges against a Trump staff member. Didn’t Uma Abaden slug a protester on behalf of the odious Hillary Clinton? Where’s the charge against her for battery?

What is happening of course is that the un-budgeted monies spent by the RNC and PAC’s, to try to thwart the double dangers of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, is almost gone which is why the only one state winning company man, John Kasich, is still in the game. Losers like Kasich usually drop out when backers realize they no longer have a chance of having their puppet in office. That being a truth of organized political campaigning, how can Kasich afford to stay in it if he has no backers except it be a compilation of super PAC’s and RNC funds, those funds that McCarthy now wants us to replenish. Don’t do it! It’s time to save America. They’re hustling us!

Apparently, the only news important for the media to feed us is an alleged misdemeanor battery charge against Trump’s CoS. Our problem is we are being overrun by terrorism, squashed by political correctness and fearful of having our means of self-defense stripped away by a growing fascist government. The GOP is doing nothing. They are not entitled to keep their offices. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (31 March 2016)

The GOP Hustle

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Mr. Kevin McCarthy, majority whip under Speaker, Paul Ryan, on behalf of the NRC, sent out a desperate email beseeching conservatives to “chip in” a contribution (enter your amount) to save the nation. The threat to our nation implies the fear that Nancy Pelosi would return as speaker again and it will be our fault if we don’t send them some money. So, what’s new?

I stopped sending the GOP money when I realized they used my contribution to defeat real conservative candidates who stood against establishment RINO incumbents. Well, their pleas fall upon deaf ears when they ask me. I’m done with ‘em and, for that very reason! Also, the way government squanders, wastes and over spends our tax money, I’d stop sending them anything either if I wasn’t afraid of being hassled all they way off to jail.

Want to send the GOP another strong message? Don’t send them any more money; send it only to your candidate of choice instead. But, it doesn’t really matter! The crony capitalism crowd have it and will pay off the bill to guarantee that corrupt politicians, including Hillary and Pelosi, will continue to keep them in business.

For example, the establishment simply hates Ted Cruz because he’s not a team player, he’s not one of “them.” They consider it their absolute duty to burn him at the stake and make of him a male version of Joan d’Arc, an unrepentant miserable soul who doesn’t understand his place in the establishment and needs to be made an example of so that even his ashes wouldn’t be recognized. I suspect they’re fast running out of choices.

Then the really big shock, Donald Trump, energizing voters by clumsily speaking the truth about the political corruption we have long been paying for and focusing us on the real dangers to America, Illegal aliens, Muslim jihadism, ATF armed drug cartels, wealth crushing tax loads and other myriad unworkable government programs that now burden us.

Expecting this loud, boisterous self-funded multi-billionaire to implode at any moment, because of the wild things he said, hasn’t happen. He grows. Their own pick, Jeb Bush, couldn’t handle the assault and lo, he’s gone, but not forgotten. The Establishment simply doesn’t know how to handle their double gigantic problem, Trump and Crus, except to approach it, not with honest competition, but through skullduggery, lies, innuendos, accusations and orchestrating minor criminal charges against a Trump staff member. Didn’t Uma Abaden slug a protester on behalf of the odious Hillary Clinton? Where’s the charge against her for battery?

Obama’s Revolution

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

After the Brussels bombing, Obama said: “We have to reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans, and their enormous contributions to our country.” I’d like to know how he’s going to stop it?  And, exactly what, beyond multiple murders of Americans since 1993, has been Muslim-Americans enormous contribution to our country? Nothing! They’re a pain in the butt!

They are the offended people because cafes’ serve bacon, farms raise pigs, and when employed, refuse to deliver beer to stores. This is America, not Saudi Arabia. They don’t like dogs, or women, won’t allow a service dog in their cabs, and this crap goes on and on while they complain they get no respect. Obama cautions us about the growing hostile attacks against muslims. Where? Oh yes, in Syria., Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen. They’re killing one another.

American’s were once a hardy European breed who earned respect by their works and deeds and gave it in return. If respect wasn’t returned that person was dismissed as a simpleton, unschooled in manners and graciousness and ignored. But, his head, wasn’t lobbed off.

Todays American simpletons, unschooled and uncultured as they are, demand respect and if its not automatically given, they will pull out a gun and shoot the offender. Cunningly, the Muslims have gone beyond that. They file law suits through their organized support groups like CAIR, ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and demand and expect that our courts punish the offenders and award them cash penalties. And worse, we have judges and local governments who have actually bought into that nonsense.

Islam has brought their revolution to the West. Revolution is a tool for remaking societies and countries. While we’re good at it, Americans have been facing a slow, quite socialist revolution, since Woodrow Wilson, kicked into high gear with LBJ.  Americans are being slowly victimized to political philosophies designed to eliminate the prosperous middle class by enslaving, to government debt, and taxing to pay the difference and, to make the lower classes completely and totally dependent on government. Cuba, where our attention was recently drawn by our  feckless Obama’s love fest with the murdering Castro’s, illustrates the point exactly.

American’s actions are now dictated to by fear. Fear of violating Political Correctness (PC). We can’t offend muslims lest we be called racists or Islamophobics. Is Islam a race or an old worn out fascist idea? Our CIA Director, for example, Mr. John Brennen, converted to Islam while posted to Saudi Arabia. I don’t hate him because I’m a racist, I don’t like him because he’s the enemy. PC causes us to react to fear, not in fear because we are afraid of Islam, but because we’re afraid of our government. They have the power of the gun and they want our gun power.

Islam is not the only group bringing Revolution to America. The grassroots are too and both parties are feeling the heat. This election cycle, if it is even suspected that the will of the voters has been perverted by machinations of convention rules by the establishment oligarchs, the revolution could turn violent. Fear is the point of the spear used by government to keep citizens in line. Fear is also the driving force by which the hopeless strike back. They lose it!

At the moment, the greater fear is to ask, what is the next step of the Islamic Jihadists? It’s coming, we know it is, and we’re still not prepared because our leaders warn us to “reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans.” Well, it’s their turn to be stigmatized. I’m getting tired of it. This is America and if they don’t like it they can go home. We should help them go.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em. (27 Mar 2016)

The Sweet Smell of War in the Air

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

America is on the brink of world war and we’re not prepared. Indeed, we won’t even acknowledge the peril. Russia and China are on the move and the regimes they sponsor, Iran and North Korea, act with impunity. Both countries, Russia and China, have claimed the territory of their neighbors, and have taken it. There has been no response from Washington. Islamic Jihadists are already conducting military operations in the West, including here in the US, and our response is to wonder why they hate us?

America is not meeting the challenge, indeed, it is our governments (Obama’s) explicit policy that nothing be done to stem the tide of aggression or jihadism anywhere in the world. This political failure to act continues to be bipartisan. The many armed conflicts spreading across the globe now advances the probability that these small wars will spread and engulf the entire world. Brussels is proof of that spreading chaos. The United States is no longer the guarantor of peace in the Middle East or the Baltic states for that matter, and our one ally, Israel, is dismissed by Obama as a pariah state.

Naturally, it’s to our advantage to allow our enemies to kill each other and yet there is deep seated unease because America is not in fact, guiding the outcomes. For example, the small Spratly Islands in the South China Seas, a coral reef actually, claimed by the Philippines, China and Vietnam, is now suddenly Chinese by default. The occupied it, dumped boat loads of dirt there, built an air strip, installed anti-aircraft missiles and dared us (USA) to challenge them. The test for Washington will be do we support international treaties on the freedom of navigation or not offend the Chinese?

After a first administration refusal to make that challenge, we have sent US naval warships into the area, including a Carrier Task Force, to let the Chinese know they are there at our pleasure. I hope it works because the Chinese will react because it’s always been their intention to remove Americas naval hegemony over their Asian domain to be replaced, naturally by China. Something will happen.

Iran just tested four ballistic missiles with technology bought from North Korea. A clear violation. We did we not stop these missile sales. Why? Even with the evidence of massive cyberattacks by China against the America, Obama will not impose sanctions they brought up only a month or so ago. The Chinese will stop only when the costs, for them, is greater than the benefits. The United States must lead our worlds economy to greatness but, with Obama, it will not happen. Our economy is so much stronger than Russia’s or Chinas as both are now in recession, or headed that way.

Among conclusions to be made is that a determined American president can effect changes. Reagan’s only come along once a decade. America has slipped into a malaise such as was experienced after the Vietnam war. Our political leaders have failed us, preferring instead to strip our treasury of tax payers money to benefit their crony friends of the Chamber of Commerce crowd, the lawyers, and lobbyists. Have we now become afraid to challenge the world and our place in it? Under Obama, yes! Russia and China are free to do what they want. The smell of war and disaster is in the air.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (25 Mar 16)

SHAME

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:
Shame is simply not a strong enough word to describe the acute pain most Americans now feel toward Obama and his pipe dreams of a utopian Cuba style government right here in the USA. There cannot be enough words in the English language to properly describe the shame and humiliation our dimwit president brings to our souls by his slobbering, groveling, hand kissing relationship with Communist Cuba and his new found Pal, Raul. I hope they exchange birthday cards.

Cuba’s El Commandante, Raul Castro, (I say Commandante because Cuba is a prison) didn’t even deign to meet our ‘Presidente’ upon his arrival but sent, instead, his pool boy. Shamefully, Obama’s team say they are “jubilant” about the Cuba visit while Cuban dissidents who wanted to see him were hustled off to jail. One wonders from what asylum were these people scraped up? And, just what are they jubilant about, failure?

I cannot even hazard a guess how many years it will take before we can wash the awful taste of this cretan and what he has done to America, out of our mouths.

I predict that before this last year is up Obama will cause more blood to be spilled on our streets and it will all be his doing. As quickly as he can, he is ushering in the forces of evil to do us combat on our streets, impose their rotten Shariah upon us and force us to alter our culture to accommodate there’s, lest they be offended. We cannot offend these people. Oh, can’t we?

Brussels, the capital of the leftist leaning European Union welfare state, was blasted into the shocked realization that the West is in a war they don’t know about after a suicide bomber detonated himself taking thirty-five other people with him at the American Airlines counter in the Brussels International Airport. A few minutes later another bomb was detonated at the airports Metro-station mere feet away from the first bombing site, and a third attack, also on the subway, occurred at the metro station near the EU Government HQ., where even more were killed.

Instantaneously, Belgium was is chaos. Attack sites were christened with body parts, blood, screams and horror while the shrapnel of concourse furniture, luggage, train car parts, all blasted through the air into walls, ceilings and people like a super nova of jihadism.

Now, the EU knows it is at war. The flood of Islamists into western countries is an invasion by the shock troops of Islam, spreading their religion of peace while our boob of a leader cements his legacy doing the “wave” at a Cuban baseball game with El Commandant Castro and uttering pithy phrases of sorrow, while lecturing us that Islamophobia is really the more wicked of the two threats facing us. He condemned the terrorist attack in Brussels while standing under a portrait of the murdering terrorist Che Guevara and spent only a mere 51 seconds commenting on the Islamic attacks in Brussels. Obama made no mention of Islam, Islamic terrorism, Islamic jihad or a thought to the victims of those attacks. He proceeded to direct his attention to a baseball game between American and Cuban teams. He knows his priorities!

A Pox on Obama and the Progressive Party that supports him. A Pox on Hillary and Red Bernie too. These people have brought everlasting shame to America and, sadly, some revel in it because they are products of our Progressive colleges and universities. Bill Clinton said one thing correct in a speech for Hillary when when he reminded attendees that we need to “put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us.” Now that is shame. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (23 March 2016).

Education by Diversity

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

There are words introduced into American’s vocabulary that act like little land mines of political correctness. Apart from the odious word, “multiculturalism,” one other such offending word is “diversity.” In Progressive speak “Diversity” is code for trashing one culture and replacing it with another. It’s happening daily in our public schools.

For American education, diversity is the enforced repudiation of America’s two hundred years of white European history and culture, to be replaced by white guilt and the basically invented culture of the African-American and, soon, the glories of Islam.

Why would we entertain, even for a single moment, emulating the brutish, violent, low life style that now represents almost 90% of the American negro culture as themes to be adored and duplicated? Indeed, every day news sources are filled with the mounting death toll of urban black males and their victims, also mostly black, especially in the urban centers of failed Progressive city governments.

These facts are basically ignored by liberal society and the media because they clearly show the failures of Progressivism and reflect poorly on the consequences of “diversity.” But, to deviate from this thought process is to seriously violate the accepted tenets of political correctness and swiftly invite personal punishment. The African American has a splendid culture, for Africans, and, it does have a place in American culture, but not all of it. The negro culture has contributed talent and music, among other things, but not exclusively, to the cultural fabric of America’s entertainment and sports industries.

It has, unhappily, also contributed to a high illegitimate birth rate, a high violent death rate (including abortions), a high unemployment rate, a high prison rate and a high rate of uneducated young males wandering the streets in search of victims, drugs or vaginas, not necessarily in that order. There are very few Ben Carson’s, Walter Sorrels or Herman Cain’s coming out of todays American schools. There remain no Fredrick Douglas’s, George Washington Carvers or Martin Luther Kings, men of stature, to direct the race onto the path of Americanism. Instead, race grifters and tax cheats, Like Barak Obama, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, claim the seat of representing the negro voice.

The United Negro College Fund has a great slogan: “A mind is a terrible thing to waste,” and yet, because of intended progressive policies, that’s exactly what’s happening. It cannot be possible that a whole race is kept in ignorance except by intended design by the forces of despotic control. Clinton’s message to her hoped for black voters, subliminally, say’s as much and their fawning approval proves it.

These facts are inarguable, yet our schools, instead of educating students in Americanism, have become the conduits of progressive propaganda by thought control, the purpose to make victimization a priority, and diversity, sacrosanct, all characterized by the finger pointing taunts of racism and white privilege to enforce white guilt.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (13 March 2016)

The Turmoil of a Republican Presidency

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Has it dawned on anybody yet, the supreme importance of not only defeating the Clinton machine in the general election, but of neutralizing, at the same time, the influence of Mitch McConnell, Karl Rove, Paul Ryan, & etc. if either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump succeeds to the Presidency? There is a revolution going on and we must be prepared to support it.

In the event of that happy outcome we would still face four years of complete internal turmoil of criminal accusations, character assassinating claims of infidelity and party destroying antics that can only weaken our will to resist the further encroachment of Socialism and Jihadism.

I believe the GOP elites, upon resignation to the fact that a non-company man will become the Commander-in-Chief, will respond like a sabotage cell of secret anarchists and move to underhandedly undermine every effort of the new president to make the changes he promised he would. What weapon will they use? Why, the Constitution of course. Yes, the same one they refused to use against the odious Obama.

The thing about political promises is that the winner must bring his party along. If not, he faces two enemies, the Democrat Progressives and the big government party of corrupt Republican’s who will, more than likely, unite tightly together with the Progressives to resist their common enemy, be it either either Trump or Cruz.

The new President must act quickly using his own selected people, like Obama did, to swiftly occupy the ‘bully bull pit” and enact his programs making them ‘faits accompli.’ The resistance will be furious. The new President must then expose those politicians in our party, or threaten them with exposure, for their own malfeasance until he shall obtain their compliance. That’s the game of politics and that’s how it’s played. It’s a brutal, tough playing field and it must be won. Trump has the instinct to succeed and the killer skills to do so. Ted Cruz probably does too, but with more subtlety.

I do not foresee either cooperation or harmony in the Party even if that scenario should happen, ergo, the importance of real conservative activists understanding the voting records of their local Representative and Senators and getting the local voters to agree with ’em. Remember, those politico’s not already corrupted, will still be forced to comply with the corrupt leadership if they are to receive the political favors of power and control that comes with compliance. Those already corrupted will fight to keep it. Bet on it! Non conservative incumbents must be replaced.

What is sorely needed are men and women of sound judgement and moral character who will not ignore the Constitution and submit to the siren call for wealth and power but will do what is best for America and real American’s. We absolutely need representatives and senators who realize that America is broke, that fiat money is like monopoly cash, of no value except to the players, and that a debt of $19 plus trillion dollars represents a fading America, one not drawing experience from its history, but living today off the potential earnings of its enslaved children.

Are we not, in fact, shackling them to slavery, even those not yet born, with our unholy spending practices of today? They will never overcome it. Never, never! And America will irrevocably become a third world country over which other expanding nations will battle. We are now governed by contemptible rubes who think they are better than us, know more than us and can fix the problems they made. How’s that going for us? Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, got get ‘em! (8 March 2016)
