Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen? Not if they’re cooking the same entree! Let’s pack the 2016 Primaries!!

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!

Virtual Insanity, the false reality - The media's mission to ruin information and kill opposition

Over the next two years, an interesting reality will be meticulously constructed. It will be a media “virtual reality”. Mainstream news outlets and social media will formulate this reality with the combination of television, print, web media, and entertainment culture. They will be in lockstep with each other and mimic the exact same viewpoints. They will parrot the same phrases, same ideas, and the same angles. They will include talking head “experts” interviewed by “journalist” that are essentially the same players of the same team, in order to fortify these identical viewpoints. They will prey on the gullibility and naivety of the public to not be able put two and two together. They will hope the public has forgotten history and facts of yesterday, or is too young to be aware of either of these, to engage in blatant hypocrisy. Although this has been standard practice for DECADES, the next two years will see a magnification of this methodology in order to destroy the opposition elevated to a level that we've never even imagined.

They approach propaganda in two ways: domestic staging and foreign disconnection. With domestic staging, the media will fabricate a virtual reality that doesn't actually exist. Through foreign disconnection, misinformation will be facilitated through the reporting of details regarding foreign affairs without connecting any of the dots. Each method is utilized to cause ignorance of actual facts. An example of this globally would be the current situation in Yemen. While we currently negotiate with Iran over the possibility of allowing them nuclear power, we fail to realize who is actually involved in this Yemenis takeover. When the news reports that “Shia militants are responsible for the destabilization of Iran”, we are supposed to take that statement at face value, without any scrutiny. They don’t actually indicate their affiliations. They don’t indicate to the public the details of that story and how it intimately relates to other news stories. They fail to mention that the Shia Muslim population is the minority in the Muslim community, with the Sunni Muslims being the majority. Additionally, they would be shocked to understand that the majority of the Iranian population is Shia Muslim. The Houthis, which are a sect within Shia Muslim community, are ultimately responsible for the destabilization of Yemen. Once you realize Iran is financially and militarily backing the Houthis in their takeover of Yemen, you start to put the pieces together.  In turn you would realize that Iran, through proxy, is actually responsible for the destabilization of Yemen. All while we are trying to allow them to become a nuclear power. The media, in its quest to carry the water for the Left, fail to connect those dots for their uninformed viewers.

Domestically, they stage and develop a false world through their combined media strength. Although Fox news is cited as having the most ratings, the combination of media outlets together actually casts a larger net with a larger reach.  The endgame of this expansive marketing campaign is to brand the entire opposition viewpoint as evil, and delegitimize its constitutionally protected rebuttal. They demonize them on every possible negative angle. They draw these pictures of them in this light, in order to paint a picture in the mind of the public. They will build a “crisis” and create a “virtual reality” that flies in the face of actual life. You can cite examples, such as the so-called recent surge in racial profiling by police of “unarmed Black teenagers”. They will edit 911 phone calls and display pictures of the deceased, by using photos of them when they were 8 years old as opposed to their actual age. They will continually hammer “hearsay” as truth. They will create Twitter hashtag trend phrases, which be flashed over and over on your television screen during an MTV multi-hour concert event for “awareness”. TMZ will interview the celebrities that will be accepting their narcissistic, pat-on-the-back award (for a performance in a movie that hasn't been viewed or even released yet) to which they will parrot talking points during their acceptance speeches, pushing the media narrative in lieu of just saying, “THANK YOU”. They’ll repeat the lie enough times and for long enough for most people to take it as actual truth. In doing so, they will incite protests and riots that will destroy communities, ruin local businesses, and even costs some their lives. Just as they have with “the war on women” and the so-called “discrimination” of the LGBT community, they've built a world that is NOT the reality to which you reside within every day. 

A small example of this ploy is the current RFRA law uproar in Indiana. The mere fact that an ABC “journalist” by the name of George Stephanopoulos, who was actually a former ADVISER and “War Room soldier” for President Clinton, was the main culprit in the skewering of the current Governor of Indiana over this recent law. President Bill Clinton signed the original, federal version of this law in 1993. Due to Mr. Stephanopoulos’ active involvement in strategic advisement of the decisions made by President Clinton, it’s safe to surmise that he had a working knowledge of this original law and its possible implications to the Clinton legacy and public perceptions. But to play on the naivety of the young and the uninformed, he pretends to be an “objective journalist” while asking the questions that support a media narrative as it requires. This aids to laying the foundation of an argument in order to paint the opposition viewpoint as founded in "discriminatory bigotry", which would effectively silence and kill the other sides point of view. The left then plays the interview on every media platform. Social media begins to immediately go berserk, with fake accounts that troll and parrot the arguments. Other political contenders, not remotely involved, will be pinned as similar culprits of these purveyors of "injustice". The mission is waged with the Left's desire of winning their political positions placed ahead of the interest of the people they wish to rule over...where the ends of their lies and deceit justify the means of their wants and desires.

The ultimate result is an extremely uninformed and politically dangerous public. It leads to the interviews with the young college kids at Daytona Spring break, who are 10 fireball shots deep and swaying like a field of wheat in a Nor'easter being asked, “What do you think about a bakery not baking a wedding cake for a gay couple?” To which they will respond with, “Like, that’s SO MEAN and NOT COOL…and like, they should make a cake for them and, like, not be so mean. LET’S DO SHOTS!!” They will spout out ignorant responses, all rooted in the misinformation they've received, sounding identical to the vapid talking points they've been soaking up through media osmosis. So, we are at an information crossroads. We have a choice. We can either chase the roadrunner up the road, in order to seek and find the truth. OR, we can stand here and get hit with the "Anvil of stupidity" filled with media lies. More and more people are thirsting for actual truth. They can find it, if they actually search for it (unless the federal government forces Net Neutrality, wiping the opposition's content clean in the name of streaming “Orange is the New Black” in high speed bandwidth). The market demand will be fulfilled for those seeking truth. The media, in all of its arrogance, will sacrifice its ratings and integrity in order to continue furthering the cause. But the outcome could be in favor of the truth seekers. Technology allows a leg up over the media narrative. But be sure to be prepared for the 2 year, left-winged media saturation of misinformation. Continue to seek the truth…while it’s available and "free".

You wanted to keep your plan. And you COULD...unless it needed adjustment to be economically viable. The Unintended Consequences of Government intervention

 Unintended consequences. The ripple effect in the water that will become a churning, giant tsunami wave crashing on distant shores. The tremors building and rumbling into an eventual 9.5 Richter earthquake, resulting in the shock waves weeks thereafter. The argument with the spouse that leads to a small remark that you wish you could take back. You had "no idea" that would be taken that way! But it is interpreted in ways you'd never foreseen! The butterfly effect. Unintended consequences can be extremely detrimental to the individual with regard to Government intervention. Markets and personal liberties can be rattled, indirectly, by the unintended consequences of their actions. Many examples can be cited throughout history. One example in particular is one that is fresh in the news, as well as in our everyday lives.

  Governmental intervention and its unintended consequences can be exemplified through the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. EVERYONE needs healthcare coverage, don't they? What could go wrong with creating a national healthcare plan? You may already HAVE insurance. Why not help those that are unable to do so? Sounds fair, doesn't it? And you LOVE your plan! That’s why you most likely spent an entire day fleshing out “your plan” in a mind numbing meeting. You spent hours with insurance representatives, agonizing over the options, to which you found the perfect, little combination of benefits that complimented you and your family. You wanted to keep "your plan"! And they ensured within the law itself that you COULD keep your plan...as long as it wasn't adjusted! It was considered grandfathered, as long as no changes were made to your plan. Any sort of adjustment that did not comply with the affordable care act was canceled by law. Examples abound within the “News” cycles and stories. In Colorado, plans that have adjusted to the economic demands of the Affordable Healthcare Act are currently being discontinued. Maybe it was due to that fact they can’t handle the new economic strain? Maybe, they've moved to an economically viable solution to forge the business's "going concern", as they strive to meet new demands from the consequences of being compliant to the A.C.A?

   There is an interesting, “perfect storm” that occurs when an existing plan adjusts its benefits to weather the new, excrement storm that looms over the horizon. It loses its “grandfathered status”. That plan is no longer under the definition of a “grandfathered plan”. It is also no longer under the definition of “your plan”. You lose “your plan”. A grandfathered plan is a health plan in force on March 23, 2010. It can continue to be an exempt plan if it follows certain requirements, to maintain the grandfathered status. Some of the requirements that would cause the loss of grandfathered status include: Eliminating benefits, increasing a participants’ percentage cost-sharing requirement, certain reductions in employer or employee organization contributions rates, annual benefit limits that are changed. A provision in the law states that when your plan did not comply with the requirements, that it was no longer grandfathered. Once canceled, you were required to be issued a written notice. This notice was to explain all of the reasons for the cancellation, along with the fact that you’ll need to procure another plan. In a perfect world, your ORIGINAL plan was grandfathered. The unintended consequences of government intervention at work. Market forces, due to this law, caused a situation that lead to almost every plan to be re-calibrated in order to cover the new cost and the new expenses. Being forced to cover people that already had conditions that would not allow them to receive insurance, which required paying TONS of additional medical expenses, caused plan adjustments to occur. And that's when your pretty, little plan was “shocked to death” and you received a nice little “Dear John” letter from your provider in the mail. But government didn't really consider those consequences, and to what extent those consequential results would eventually lead (Or DID they…that’s another topic, for another day). We now have to pay for the intervention of their “intentions”.

   Ultimately, when the government intercedes, you get the ripples from the consequences of their actions. The butterfly effect from the flapping of their political “wings” leads to a national disaster that will cause years of strife and a “Trail of Tears”. A politician’s status of being “needed”, which in turn defines them as elite, means that they are throwing YOU the bone. They’ll be fine on their politically crafted, Cadillac Plans that you or I will never have the opportunity to enjoy.  It is you and I that will be continually burned by the “Unintended Consequences” of their actions. Unless we realize the REAL roles that are to be restored. WE vote them into office. THEY are public servants that should engage in that thing we call “representation”. We need to demand a return to the definition of a Representative Republic...as “We, The People”.

And now, My moment of Zen...Stewart's Out, Future Secure. Here's why...

   There an interesting phenomenon that continually occurs within the Media world and the progressive left. If you have views and opinions that stand against progressive ideology, you are the enemy. You are attacked for having them. Pummeled into powder, based upon your viewpoint. You will be laughed at, branded as an extremist kook, and then tarred and feathered. They will set out to silence you based upon your "intolerance", regardless of your right to free speech. They will even make up stories about you, with lies built upon complete fabrications in order to place doubt upon the minds of the unwitting. On top of all of that, they will then REPEAT the lies in a similar, or even verbatim fashion through every mouth piece and media outlet available to them. Of course, if everyone is saying it, it must be true! And if everyone says it enough times in a row the same way, then it becomes actual FACT!
 
   An interesting juxtaposition is those with a complicit view of Progressivism. These individuals are revered and placed upon pedestals. They are given accolades that are created solely to provide the perception of legitimacy and credibility, much like a major motion picture receiving the Best Picture award when it hasn't even been screened in the theater. They are provided with high positions of influence and power due to their subservience to the cause. As is the case for those such as Katie Couric or Rosie O'Donnell, failure in the ratings department oddly never costs you your job. To the contrary, you will be provided MANY chances to fail with similar results (which is actually the definition of insanity, by the way). You may even be promoted to even higher positions in the world of media. The end goal is to make it stick with the public. To underestimate the general public's intelligence. To assume that if the public sees the good little progressive operative elevated and promoted, it will be assumed that the good little progressive operative is more astute than we are to actually believe. And we, the peons that are not famous, would blindly accept this premise and follow the lead of bolstering the fabricated prominence of a failed talent being gifted opportunity after opportunity with no means of measurable success.

   The Daily Show on Comedy Central is an evolutionary journey into “Inside baseball” media fandom. The media's obsession with it may be related to the satire of the field in which they operate. It began as an apolitical, satirical show with an endearingly arrogant host, Craig Kilborn. I personally followed the Daily Show from its beginnings. When they mention the current target age group, they indicate my exact age to the year! Being a young conservative, but one with a sense of humor as well as a thick skin, I was able to laugh even while my views were the target of its jokes. The Daily Show began in 1996, with reporters such as A Whitney Brown. Mr. Brown once interviewed a cult that believed a spaceship would descend upon earth to abduct its followers and cart them off to another planet in the form of it's rapture. He was told that the planet of destination was located in Pleiadian cluster, to which he asked, “The Pleidan Cluster…is that made of Nougat”? The show didn't strive to take one particular political side. Instead, it bashed both sides of the political spectrum equally. Craig Kilborn’s “5 Questions” along with staples like “Moment for Us” (where he arrogantly and awkwardly hit on the female guests on his show with a pseudo romantic setting) and, of course the coup de grace which was “The Moment of Zen”, made for a show filled with laughs while poking at the current news of the day.

   When Craig Kilborn exited the show, Jon Stewart was tapped to take the lead. Initially, his start was slightly awkward and he was grasping to fit his style into the template of what has been the show’s format. Over time, being the comedic powerhouse Mr. Stewart is, he was able to comfortably fill the role. He also began to appear on various talk shows, where at one point his unabashed and no holds barred candor came to light. The conflict of Mr. Stewart's transparent disdain for the news media even led to a verbal beat down of host Tucker Carlson on CNN. It was at this point that the progressive media began to take note of The Daily Show. Awards began to be given to the show for its ratings and creativity. The media fascination grew even fonder. And like that “underground band” that you held onto so dear, you began to seethe over the new found attention by the media elite. They began to reference and court the show like the fan-boys and girls they've become.  The new found attention was fine in the beginning, as Mr. Stewart didn't seem to be affected by it and stayed true to the focus of the shows content. But, eventually he succumbed to the adulation of the national mainstream media. Presidential Endorsements by Mr. Stewart were given extreme amounts of weight. He began to be offered hosting positions for many industry award shows. He had finally given in to the sickening adulation of the news reporters and journalists in the industry.

   At this point, along with myself, the core fan base began to wane and fall by the wayside. The show still had high ratings, but many long time fans were replaced with a different kind of audience. The show began to head towards a Progressive media format, where elevation and hype is given as a reward for the "battle points" it scores against libertarian and conservative viewpoints. The show began to take itself a bit too seriously. And as the progressive slide picked up steam, the unabashed vitriol against the right continued. When many people began to reference it as a news resource, it was at that point that it began to slowly die. But, occasionally, they opened the other side to scrutiny and parody. More often than not, they've become a former shell of itself, similar to Saturday Night Live (SNL). SNL flat out ignored gaffes by the left that wrote skits themselves, only to spend their energy on parodying the right and losing its comedic value in the process. The show sacrificed its core (comedy) for the cause. This left many thinking, “When will this get funny?” While The Daily Show did keep much of its humor, it was at times uncomfortable to watch. Similar to a comic picking on a child with Down syndrome.  

   The exit strategy for Mr. Stewart is clear. The sky is the limit for him. Years of carrying the water for the left will open every door they’re in charge of locking and unlocking. His reward for pushing the narrative will be the "Brink’s truck of cash" of any amount, dumped into his lap. This was the case with NBC’s proposal for a position with “Meet the Press”. With the concept of the Nightly News being an irrelevant animal, NBC is well aware of a need for a change. A pivot into this brave new world is a possibility that they may need to explore. So it should be of little shock to everyone if we see Mr. Stewart manning a Nightly News Chair soon. In fact, at the moment, I hear there’s one available. And you don't even have to be truthful to man that station. Good night, Mr. Stewart. And good luck.

My Apologies, even though Libs are hypocrites, we still love you (inspired by my Whole Foods Adventure)

     I must make a confession. I feel that I'm big enough to "Man Up" (sorry to evoke an anti-PC term. Maybe I should have used that confusing red neck term "Cowboy up") to a realization that I've come to grips over. There are many aspects of liberalism that I am reluctantly happy to embrace. Your grass-fed beef is especially tasty. Goes great with your "Jammy" Sonoma Zinfandel. I love your artisan, wood-fired roasted, flatbreads pizzas. YUUUMM. Taking an 8 person Coleman pup tent into a field to campout for 5 days and watch 30 musical acts perform sets of 20 minute musical masturbation noodling can even be quite enjoyable too. I've spent many an afternoon in a dusty record store, thumbing through stacks of albums in a quest for that perfect classic vinyl album that will pop & crack in all of its high fidelity glory. It is my "Mecca"! Even your "college favorite" comedian, that occasionally stars on your liberal "Funny or Die" type sketch comedy show, is also hilarious. They'll poke fun at us and our values, but I can look past that because we all should be able to make fun of ourselves! Even your organic Mac & Cheese is to die for.

     But your governmental policies and lifestyle choices are horrid. Your ideology fails every time it’s attempted. Yet you continue vilify capitalism, which has worked every time it's been tried. You camp out in front of the Halliburton office building in protest of capitalism, not ever realizing that you actively engage in Capitalism daily. Consumed with your iPhones & iPads, which allow you to post anti capitalism rhetoric on your Facebook & Twitter accounts, the hypocrisy is thick in your world. Every time you sell a grilled cheese or nitrous balloon at a Phish concert, you engage in capitalism. Each time you meticulously weigh out your illegal stash of Northern Lights to maximize it for the most cash from the stoner kid dropping by your "flat", you’re engaging in capitalism. That favorite coffee shop with the local art for sale on the wall (capitalism in action alert!) that sells that tasteless soy bean vegan burger...that’s called capitalism. Your favorite hardcore punk group (signed to a capitalist label like a Sony or an Atlantic Records) engages in capitalism through selling "merch" along with the tickets to their show. All while their lyrics scream against such actions, they continue to reside within a hypocritical dilemma on a daily basis. This happens while still involving capitalism in their lives as a “necessary evil” just to survive.

    You've even inadvertently CREATED a market inside capitalism!!!! You've met the need for those who don't want to consume any edible item that HAS A FACE (Veganism)!!! Congratulations! Thanks for joining us in this glorious, “Adam Smith Hidden Hand” economy! Yes, government may have created that scenic, mountain bike trail that you so long to traverse in the wee sunrise hours of the frosty AM. But that paper thin bike that swallows your behind like a whale sucking up mounds of krill, that was built by capitalism! The skin tight shorts that are painted on, with the bike shirt that has the loud emblems which make you look like the NASCAR driver of biking? That was capitalism as well. In fact, you've effectively have become a walking, hypocritical billboard for the company that made your skin tight biking digs. The necessary evil…is capitalism. It’s necessary because it works (it IS a perfect system). It’s only evil because we, as imperfect sinful beings, corrupt it and turn it evil. Reason NUMBER ONE that conservatives, like myself, put a heavy focus on morality and faith. This allows you to be a free individual that can actual function in public. Go ahead and accept the need for Capitalism. I've accepted the need for your contributions! Or, you could return to foot juggling your Hacky Sack while you sit back and allow those “great, brilliant minds” of our “spotless and clean” government officials to take care of you and everything else. That should work out swimmingly.

Down with Disease. Socialism has taken over!

We need to raise awareness on the growing disease called socialism. Maybe we should wear a red ribbon, maybe have a 5K? We could get musicians together to write a kumbaya song that would raise awareness of this growing problem...oh wait, they did that already...it was called "We are the World". Sure, that was written for acquiring aid for Africa! But a globalist view of world citizenry is a fundamental cornerstone in the socialist’s way of thinking. Well then, How about we start a nonprofit 501(c) (3), (but not a 501(c) (4) political action group because we'll never get that one approved), to help spread the awareness of the literal takeover of our entire country from within. Using the typical liberal channels, unfortunately, will not resonate or be effective as is the case with many other awareness campaigns on other issues.

    So, then, shall we use the capitalist approach? Maybe a purchase a neon tattoo of a 140 character "Tweet" hashtaging every scandal that the government has perpetuated on Kim Kardasian's rear? Although she would have more than ample capacity to wear it, the character limitations wouldn't allow us the fit every scandal in 140 characters. Maybe paying for ad time during the Super Bowl to read the statistics of every failed locality and the party affiliation of their leadership, along with their length of tenure. Detroit alone has been under liberal leadership for decades and is bankrupt...no surprise. How about we list the contributor’s list and tally of lobbyist’s right below the candidate’s name in the voting booth. Streamline the disgust!  Maybe we can go all out and officially decimate the integrity of the groundwork of what the founders died for by meeting with a attention deficit camera whore with green lipstick who swims in a bathtub of Fruit loop's. And why not?  She has 4 million "hits", so I guess she's legitimate?

    The overall cure for this disease is to meet it uninformed on their level. The left are WIZARDS of this method. Unfortunately, when they have this prime opportunity at their fingertips, they will use it to deceive and distort every shred of truth. Factual ideas and concepts collapse like the house of cards that the lefts ideology is built upon whenever they are challenged. Where the conservatives miss the mark is on two issues.

     First, conservatives attempt to address this issue by having it vocalized by someone who speaks utterly to fast while wearing a bow tie. The conservative case is usually presented by someone who looks like they were the last pick for kickball in middle school. And its typically addressed in an uptight manner with awkwardly delivered humor, if any at all. We, as conservatives, must infiltrate the culture. Unfortunately this is a process that we should have embarked upon decades ago. The left understood this (possibly due to CPUSA marching orders issued by Nikita Khrushchev in 1956 while addressing ambassadors from the west at the Polish Embassy). Luckily, or maybe out of final frustration, many are beginning this quest. Whether it be in the form of children's books and DVD's or Clay-mation movies, instructive and captivating factual based media needs to be initiated. A move to inject conservatism into the culture MUST begin for a change to occur.

    Secondly, education must also be a part of the plan. Deceiving the public with false narratives not only takes less effort, it takes less time. In 12 years of education, you receive a diploma. In 2 to 4 additional years, at the very least, you receive a degree. The point ultimately is that education is a long process. Taking an uninformed public to be educated on an ideology that has been misrepresented, by the body politic along with the mainstream media, will be a tedious undertaking. But, it will require a dynamic and well versed representative of conservatism to accomplish the hurdles of this task. This is what made Reagan so effective. Communicating the concepts in a way that the public can empathize with and understand. This needs to be rebooted. The march needs to begin.

The Republican "Reach-a-round" the aisle. The desire for playing ball with Democrats

    “Come on people now. Smile on your brother. Everybody get together. Try to love one another right now”, because “all we are saying is give peace a chance”. The tune that the Democrats love to croon. It’s what they believe the citizens of our great nation desire from their elected officials. They believe in the concept of “reaching across the aisle”. In reality, The media and the Democrats wish to impose upon them a Republican “reach around”. It’s a dance that the Democrats long to have and it is extended to the Republicans ONLY as long as Democrats get to lead. It’s their way or the highway. And the media will audibly vocalize the frustrations of the Democrats to enrage the public at large.

    An excellent example of the media’s desire to bellyache about the inability of Republicans to “cooperate” with their views is Obamacare. Obamacare, AKA the A.C.A. (which was the technical acronym, now being touted due to the fully displayed failure of this progressive ideology in practice). A Washington Post leftwing stenographer wrote an opinion piece asking, “When will republicans begin to love Obamacare? The left continually wants our acceptance of their will, while we deny our principles. When will we "Heart" Obamacare? When will we love it and be happy with it? When we pull the plug, say our last goodbyes and put it to rest. We'll fondly reminiscence about it when we take those trips down Obamacare memory lane. Remember the "Slut" & "Pajama Boy" ads? Those were great! Remember when the website wouldn't work & it didn't sign you up! Oops! LOL!! How about the prank where you suddenly realized your premiums DOUBLED and your deductibles sky rocketed! Oh, the look on their faces!!! Oh, Obamacare, how we "Heart" you and loathe you...RIP. Thank you, media and Democrats for boldfaced lying to us and sticking this into our system without proper vetting. Silly ole’ citizenry, Mr. Gruber is proud of you! He’s proud of the media and Democrats for manipulating everyone to pass a law that would've never made it through the process if it was viewed in all of its glory.

    If the system as designed would've been allowed to work, we would've circumvented this debacle. The struggle to shove improper legislation as this on through would've been prevented from fully coming to fruition. What they fail to understand is that Republicans must stand on principle, even if it causes gridlock. Ultimately, that was the design of our government. The structural framework of our Constitution firmly displays the concept separation of powers. Having experienced many forms of governmental tyranny, the founders painstakingly fleshed out the concepts to create this new design. From the flow of the legislative process to the admittance of Presidential endorsements that are Congressionally approved, gridlock is purposely embedded. Take a gander into the legislative process. A proposal is issued for a bill that is then referred to the House Ways and Means Committee to ultimately land a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives. The bill is then swatted over to the Senate, where the Senate Finance Committee puts their greasy paws all over it.  Then the Senate has to vote on it, take what it currently looks like after another manipulation, and submit it for the President’s approval. He could say, “YAY!” or “NAY!!” Congress gets it back and could override the President’s veto by a 2/3rd’s majority vote in each chamber. If this is supposed to be a seamless, quick, productive process you wouldn't get that from just the cumbersome steps that I've just listed. And this was done with purposeful intentions. Nothing would dash across the finish line until fully vetted and scrutinized. This would result in legislation that is beneficial to the republic. They also only convened 4 months out of a year. The less a congress was in session, the less we’d flood the system with useless, detrimental legislation.
 
    So, due to the fact that Republicans wish for free market principles, such as a free market solution to the Healthcare problem, they are painted as the failure of progress. For standing firmly on their principles, even if it results in the disruption of governmental operations, they are attacked. The media steps in and then becomes the 24/7 bullhorn for the Democrats. The public begins to buys into it after consistent repetition of talking points. Say something enough times the same way, it becomes “the truth”. Similar to the manner in which a group of individuals committing a crime must do to beat an accusation. But the actual vilification is then placed upon the Republicans for not playing along and selling out their principles. Without a well-educated citizenry, versed in the constitutional design of our freedom, we will continue to fall for these fabricated lies and continue to move further away from the founder’s creation.
