The primary season is upon us, Ladies and
Gents. Many will step up to declare their desire to lead. Many will try to
enunciate the case as to why they are fit to steer this great ship. Some will
seek the position for its ancillary benefits: fame, historical footprint, or
even the end game of financial gain from giving speeches after serving at least
a full term (a precedent crafted by "Mr. Integrity", William
Jefferson Clinton, I might add). The intentions of others will be to view a
quest to lead from a place of duty and servitude. Regardless of the desires of
the many potential candidates, the vetting now begins! The battleground is
being set. Numerous "fisticuffs" will be thrown in debates, all
focused on fleshing out contenders in the "ring" of ideology, round
after round. This time around, it will be bigger than just a two sided war. It
will not only be a war between Left and Right. For some candidates, they will
have to fight two battles at the same time and spread their energy thinner than
most. This war will include an internal battle that will consist of an
unexpected, tectonic plate shift to occur within the Republican Party. It will be an Establishment vs.
"The Outsiders" struggle. The designated moniker of the so called
"Electable" (as dubbed by imperial, establishment agents) will spar
against the novice "every-man" defenders of freedom and
liberty. Ultimately, an argument against an “overcrowded” candidate pool
will begin to be formulated. But to the contrary, a giant pool of conservative
candidates will bring about an amazingly beneficial and unintended consequence.
An “overcrowded” primary will allow for the change in perception of
conservatism, re-branding of the conservative viewpoint, and an
ideological beat-down of the Republican “RINO” establishment movement
within the party.
Kim Kardashian wanted to "Break the Internet" by showing
her ginormous, naked Gluteus Maximus. Conservatives have a similar opportunity
to "Break the Republican Stereotype", by showing their naked core
assets of principles and values. They have a platform to show ACTUAL
transparency in their beliefs. Contrary to popular belief, Conservatives do not
focus on race or even gender. Ironically, their diversity actually eclipses
that of the Democrat's "surface and shallow" claims of cornering the
market on diversity. The left is fixated on historical firsts over actual
substance. Conversely, Conservatives desire nothing BUT complete substance in
their viewpoints. They now have a diverse group of backgrounds all declaring substantive
viewpoints. They are all shouting the exact same message, one of individual
liberty and the greatness of the individual human spirit. The party of “old
white guys” does not exist. It may have, at one point, within the “RINO’
establishment. But within the Tea Party Conservatives, all genders and races
are welcomed. With Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio’s Hispanic lineage, Ben Carson’s
black background and heritage, and even Carly Fiorina’s female gender ACTIVELY
SHOWS that diversity is welcomed within the movement. But those are shallow,
surface based “qualifications” that shouldn't have any bearing on ideology and
policy. The ideas that they present are all of a similar strain. This
“Conservative Collective” will have a profound effect on the perceptions of
conservatism with the uninformed public at large.
Conservatives now have an opening in which they can re-brand their
viewpoint. They can even supersede the delivery of core values to a level even
more pronounced than President Reagan could have ever accomplish. A collection
of "Conservative Town Criers" now have the ability to decimate the
traditional Main Stream Media’s extortion and control over the story and
information. The "Filibustering class", as I like to call them, that
have all “Frisbee-d” their hats into the race, will now be able to unify the
Tea Party Conservative message of values and principles. They can accomplish
this while thrusting their message into the main stream limelight. Never have
conservatives had so many candidates fighting for freedom, liberty, and “true
conservatism”...all a part of an upcoming campaign. In doing so, they have an
opportunity to have ideas united and proclaimed above the scrutiny of the
"News Media". Keep in mind, the News Media will take every opportunity
to demonize each candidate with shallow attacks, hoping that the uninformed
public will soak up as fact and mimic the talking bullet points at the water
cooler with coworkers in the morning. The media will go on and on, complaining
about proper interviewing etiquette that should be maintained with female
journalists, Dog carriers on tops of cars, and the amount of money a Governor
would've paid for a thrift shop shirt. All of that can now be beaten by a
collection of conservatives, declaring a unifying message through the primary
bullhorn. Small government, liberty, and freedom are the foundations of their
argument and should stand on its own regardless of color, creed, or gender.
Unfortunately, the "Filibustering class" will not be
able to sashay their way to the nomination of the Republican Party. They will
not have an easy time pole vaulting above the “Republican in name only (RINO)”
pachyderms. But RINOS are beatable. One case in particular was the shot
heard around the party. The defeat of House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor. Keep
in mind, Mr. Cantor didn't start out being a RINO. He CLAIMED he was a Tea
Party Conservative. But during the birth and groundswell of the movement, many
tried to capitalize the Tea Party rumblings on its energy alone. Ultimately,
the Washington machine clutched Mr. Cantor's principles and ideas and crushed
them into a lobbyist infused powder. He used that powder to cement his place as
the House Majority Leader. Someone of that stature and position should have
never lost to a virtual unknown. But it happened. And it was completely based
on principles and values of the message. Those of a Conservative angle. This
was the initial skirmish in the internal war within the Republican Party. Not
all battles have been won, but not all of those that have been fought were done
so with honesty, integrity, and actual merit. What we are witnessing in the
current primary season is a “D-Day” of sorts. Candidates are storming the
shores of the party. Their message is unified and resonating. Even if they
don’t secure the nomination, the difference of viewpoint between conservatives
and establishment RINO’s will be widely known. This could be the ripple effect
to build the wave to wash the party clean of financial corruption and
compromised values.
A new day is peaking over the horizon. It’s been growing for
years, all while being demonized and even weathering an effort to be re-branded
by those whom despise it. In an age where freedoms are being squashed, values
are being crushed, and privacy is being compromised, a longing by the
disenfranchised American to return to controlling their own destiny will occur.
When this aligns with the conservative message, it will connect with those
disillusioned citizens in a revolutionary way. While the media will "pick
and pull" its choices for candidates to smear, the unifying message being
delivered from the heart and prompter-free, will have the ability to overcome
the media stronghold. The free swapping and sharing of information through the
social media channels, that previously were not a political factor, will aid in
the education of the conservative message and its massive spread. So, fill the
field! Bring on the candidates! Reinvigorate a party that SHOULD stand for the
individual and not the party interest!
