Hank Dagny — Saving Our Nation, Current Affairs
July 24th, 2008
The primary political advantage conservatives had over liberals – besides being right and having God on our side (neither of which matter to liberals) – is that we are usually focused in our message.
When you boil it all down; conservatives believe in our Constitutional laws and want our freedoms and property held as sacred by our SMALL governments.
It has always been the Democrats with the many different ‘one issue’ voters that made up their Party. If you were a tough union guy, you had to vote with the Code Pink whackos and feminists. In order to cater to these classified groups (groups have no rights in the Constitution – only individuals do), liberals had to dismantle the Constitution – usually thru the Courts and a Congress ignoring their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution.
But now the conservatives are fractured as never before. For reasons that could be its own debate in itself, conservatism has fractured into splinter groups. Our own ‘one issue camps’.
You have the:
Just Loyal Republicans – votes Republican, period.
Blue Blood Republicans – won’t support Constitutionalist conservatives
Christian Republicans – won’t support certain Republicans of certain religions
Social Conservative Republicans – won’t support a Hawk Republican
Anti-Abortion Conservatives – wont’ support ‘restricting abortions’ Conservatives
Christian Conservatives – won’t support conservatives that won’t damn homosexuals
Isolationist Conservatives – won’t support conservatives who promote free trade and/or treaties.
Soon to be or Retired Conservatives – won’t support the shrinking of government,
Free World Libertarians – won’t support close border conservatives,
Free Lifestyle Libertarian – won’t support strong drug law conservatives,
Atheist Libertarian – won’t support religious conservatives,
Dove Libertarians – wont’ support conservatives that use our military, unless we are invaded.
We could argue my groups (and in today’s climate, I am sure we would) or we could add a few more classifications to our newly divided conservative base.
But let me say this as clearly as I can.
If you conservative IDIOTS don’t get your focus back on saving this nation from liberalism – none of your ‘single issues’ have a prayer! My apologies to the Atheists readers, but you catch my drift.
We came within an eye lash of losing the Second Amendment.
Free Speech is under attack.
Our property is being swallowed whole by taxes and the Kelo decision.
Our nation is being over run and bankrupted with illegal immigrants.
Our children graduate from school and can’t read their diplomas half the time.
The media and press are propaganda wings of the Democrat Party.
Unions and taxes are eliminating jobs.
The government restrictions on the energy industry make our nation a slave to foreign countries.
The War in Iraq doesn’t matter right now.
Abortion doesn’t matter right now.
Homosexuality doesn’t matter right now.
Religion doesn’t matter right now.
Drug laws don’t matter right now.
Social Security, Healthcare and Medicare don’t matter right now.
The message for a conservative candidate running for office has to be clear and focused:
Shrink government, lower taxes, close our borders and get back to the Constitution and State sovereignty.
We do that, and the Federal Government and States can vote on all those single issues - legally.
The communists (Democrats) are focused. They vote for lying flip-floppers who shamelessly run as pure socialist/communist peaceniks to get the nomination - and then change into patriotic flag wavers for the election. Or vice-versa in a regional election.
The liberal voter has his eye on victory in the election - first and foremost. They are smart enough to argue with each other AFTER they have taken power.
Conservatives had better re-focus on what is important. And they better do it NOW! – Hank Dagny

A big hat tip to Chow-lie for this.

Rush Limbaugh brings us news from the Environmental Global Warming Hoax Group - better known as Communists and Democrats for a Collapsed US Economy:
“Al Gore’s home used 10% more energy this year than last year – even after Gore promised to make his own home ‘greener’. Reports say his home used enough energy to run 240 average American homes for a month!
Mike Tidwell said, “What do we tell our children when they sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ during the Exxon-Mobil 7th inning stretch and they see Exxon-Mobil all over the biggest scoreboard in the country?” Hey Tidwell, you tell your kids to thank God for companies like Exxon-Mobil, you dufus – that take risks and turn crude oil into products that fuel our economy.
A report from our Energy Department says that the demand world-wide for fossil fuels will continue to rise dramatically for the next 20 years – in spite of anything this nation does. Despite any increased use of other resources, oil will simply be needed by the world.
Meanwhile, the UN issued a report saying that food prices and hunger world-wide will remain high as food source get tapped for energy – killing and starving millions. He is demanding increased production of food worldwide.
Wait a minute. If increased production of food will solve the food shortages and bring the price of food down, wouldn’t the same work for oil production?
Or we can use the same plan the Democrats and Obama have proposed to solve the problem. Let’s tax the food producers who are profiting from food production. Let’s regulate and prosecute the food speculators. Tell the parents of hungry children to use alternative foods.
Tell the people to ‘conserve their food. Eat a little less everyday.”
Liberals trip themselves up over their hypocrisies if you only let them speak long enough. Not that the liberal notices it. After all, he is a liberal and his logic section in his brain doesn’t work. That is what makes him a liberal in the first place. – Hank Dagny

A friend of LQ’s, Mentor Jim, sends this along.
It is Pat Condell, from the UK, explaining where his nation is at, and ironically, where our nation is heading.
He makes the point that every time you criticize the preverted actions and beliefs of the radical Muslims, they get insulted.
Sounds exactly like what happens when you point out the idiotic ideas of your standard American liberal.
Dictators and dictator lovers are all the same. Great six minute video. Enjoy and thanks Jim! - Hank Dagny

Barack KKK Not Proud of and God Damn America Disowned Grandma Disowed Crook Resko after Getting Special Loan Blow up the Pentagon Disown Ayres After Ayres Fundraises Hussein Obama is on his way to Afghanistan and Iraq.
The nightly news anchors of ABC, CBS and NBC are going with him.
John McCain went three different times and nobody from the MSPAM (main stream press and media) went with him and it was rarely mentioned on the nightly news.
Sane people looking at this realize the alleged guardians and watchdogs of our government have throw in with one political party in this country – and that is the socialist/communist/radical Democrat Party. Pure and simple. – Hank Dagny
Hank Dagny — Saving Our Nation, Democrats, Liberals
July 18th, 2008
J. R Dunn wrote an article posted on the American Thinker in March, 2008, called the Disgrace of Liberalism. Sorry for the length but genius takes time sometimes.
He has optimism that with the masks falling off all of the liberal elites at this point, that real Americans will – once again – recoil at the sight of what the Democrat Party really stands for. I pray he is right. Here is a short version of the article.
“2008 marks the end of liberalism as a governing force in the same way that 1968 marked the end of liberalism as a political doctrine.
American liberals spent the ’60s seeing their programs and policies collapse one after the other. The War on Crime, the War on Poverty, civil rights legislation, Vietnam, all were either unmitigated disasters or textbook examples of the law of unintended consequences. The Democrats went into the 1968 presidential election as crippled as any political party in American history, choked with failure, bereft of ideas, and facing a general uprising from their own younger elements.
The Democrats’ 1968 Chicago convention marked the end of FDR-style liberalism. Media coverage revealed American liberals as incapable of controlling their own constituency, much less directing a country.
As delegates cowered within the convention center, Movement rioters ran wild throughout the downtown area, fighting knock-down, drag-out battles with the police. Not a single liberal figure made any serious attempt to confront, control, or even communicate with the rioters. Little more than a decade after declaring itself the “American civic creed”, liberalism was on the ropes.
Instead of joining the Whigs and Know-Nothings in historical oblivion, liberalism surrendered to its internal rebels, the Democratic Party’s left wing, indistinguishable in beliefs and intent from any hardcore socialist party on the international scene. In 1972, they ran one of their own, George McGovern, who in 1948 had served as delegate for communist front man Henry Wallace, for the presidency.
McGovern’s defeat at the hands of Richard M. Nixon represented no real setback for the new ideology. American leftists commenced their “Long march through the institutions” using techniques developed by Marxist theoretician Antonio Gramsci to take over the media, academia, and much of the bureaucracy. But liberalism in the traditional sense existed only in the minds of the naive, the ill-informed, and terminally nostalgic.
Liberals claimed a monopoly on compassion, decency, and social justice (as defined by themselves), posing as the sole defenders of civic virtue against a horde of backwoodsmen, racists, and religious fanatics.
This elaborate double imposture served to keep liberalism alive for over three decades in the absence of ideas, doctrine, and serious accomplishments. But 2008 has brought the charade to an end. Events this year have exposed, once and for all, in a way that cannot be denied, elided, or spun, Democratic liberals as the party of abject incompetence and institutionalized corruption.
Eliot Spitzer worked his way to the governorship of New York State as the living embodiment of liberal higher morality, crusading against a series of dubious financial and corporate villains. His downfall as the result of a prostitution scheme too moronic for fiction might be taken as evidence of personal failings and no more were it not for the fact that his replacement, David A. Paterson, confessed to similar activities as the first official act of his administration.
We need only add James McGreevev, ousted in 2004 from New Jersey’s governorship for homosexual escapades with an aide (apppointed to a homeland security job with the state for which he had no qualifications), to conclude that liberalism has subsided to a level of corruption of European dimensions.
It’s often overlooked — thanks in large part to the Clinton “legacy” — that such misbehavior is almost always accompanied by corruption in other spheres. Insistence by Clinton’s defenders that his various lady troubles were “personal matters” succeeded in obscuring the moral connection between Big Bill’s follies and the endless bribes, kickbacks, suicides, illegal mass firings, and vanishing files that made the “most ethical administration in history” so entertaining to watch.
These men are clearly representative of the post-Clinton Democratic Party. They set out to follow in Bill’s footsteps, have ended up much the same as he did, and have dragged their party and political doctrine along with them.
(At this point somebody will bring up the names Foley and Craig. But neither stood anywhere near the center of American conservatism in the way that the Northeastern governors do with liberalism as a matter of course. Foley and Craig were rotten apples. With the Democrats, it’s the whole barrel.)
In turning to the presidential campaign, we need do no more than mention Madame Hillary. The Ma Barker of Little Rock is in a class by herself when it comes to political iniquity (not to mention dodging snipers). The chief puzzle concerning Hillary is how, being so blatantly what she is, she succeeds in holding onto any support whatsoever. There’s a process in quantum mechanics called “renormalization”, in which certain quantities with values of infinity are arbitrarily dropped back to a more manageable “zero” for the sake of solving the equation. This encapsulates Hillary’s political career: truly mindboggling levels of corruption and ineptitude have been continually renormalized by fellow politicians and the media to enable her to survive. These people made a particular type of bargain when they bent the rules for Hillary. Now the ground is opening up under their feet. It has been a pleasure to watch.
Barack Obama was supposed to be another matter. Obama has ascended on a cloud of pure moral superiority and nothing else. That has now evaporated, thanks to impolitic comments from his wife and the news that he has for two decades belonged to what amounts to a racist cult. Obama has nothing else to offer in the way of experience or achievements.
Beyond his current difficulties, there lie his continuing and as yet unexplained entanglement with Tony Rezko (He barely knew the man, he insists. All he did was show Rezko his new house before closing. I always clear major purchases with people I scarcely know, don’t you?), along with pending revelations concerning his relationship with Bill Ayers, a former terrorist who began his career as one of the driving forces of the Weather Underground.
To this gallery we can add Jennifer Granholm, who assured that Michigan’s current slide was as drastic and damaging as possible, Ed Rendell, Hillary’s consigliere for Pennsylvania, John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Kwame Kilpartick, charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, and malfeasance in office.
That’s the Democratic Party, the bastion of American liberalism, as it stands. A party whose entire leadership cadre, including presidential candidates, state governors, and Congressional leaders, are corrupt or incompetent or both, a party more suitable to ruling a Balkan or Central African peapatch than the world’s reigning superpower.
2008 is being promoted as the year of the Democrats. Under the circumstances, it’s difficult to see this as anything but media hype. Weak as the Republicans may be, they do boast such figures as Schwarzenegger, Jindal, Crist, and Coburn among many others, not to mention a presidential candidate who, whatever his drawbacks, is a different order of being than the opposition.
But there have been danger signs. In the past few years, we’ve seen a number of “conservative” politicians who have adapted the liberal style, masking their own flaws with acceptable rhetoric. The latest of these is Mike Huckabee, who presented himself as a conservative messiah while governing Arkansas like… well, like a typical governor of Arkansas. Liberalism has demonstrated that these tactics lead nowhere. We must be careful not to succumb.
Liberalism will stagger on. It still has control of all those urban political machines, along with the unions and bureaucracies. But it has no future. Personality cults and ideology will take you only so far.
We may yet live to see this albatross removed from the nation’s back.”
I see only one flaw in Mr. Dunn’s analysis. Our nation was still over-populated with American citizen self reliant ‘doers’. Today, we are a nation of whiners. Combine that with the 40 years of liberal indoctrination from the very institutions the Left took over at the instruction of Gramsci, and real Americans may no longer be the majority.
I hope Mr. Dunn is right. A landslide defeat of the Democrats this time – with all the advantages and cheating they have at their disposal today – should end them once and for all.
One thing is for sure – either the United States Constitution wins or the Democrat-Communists do. – Hank Dagny

The American Thinker has an article by James Lewis that spells out what this B. Hussein Obama is.
It is a must read.
I’ve told you for years what liberals in this country are. They are USA hating communists. Now they are displaying it proudly.

On the day after Barack KKK not Proud of and God Damn America Disown Everyone I Hang With Blow up the Pentagon Hussein Obama addressed the NAALCP (liberal colored people), I thought I would share this.
Democrats talking to the NAACP is like speaking to a group of children and telling them what the government is going to promise them for Christmas. And these fools buy it every time.
This one is a little different.. Two Different Versions! Two Different Morals!
OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshoppe r calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, “It’s Not Easy Being Green.”
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, “We shall overcome.” Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake, while shaking down the businesses selling to the ant.
Nancy Pelosi & Barack KKK Hate America Hussein Obama exclaim in an interview with Keith Olbermann that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of
single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote.

So they want you to tell them why you are voting for them. It’s pathetic.
Both parties placed identical ads on You Tube to solicit ads from their base. Hat tip to Rose at the Ron Paul headquarters in Michigan.
Democrat Ad
Republican Ad
It is ‘proof positive’ that neither party can tell the voting public why they should be a [Dem or Rep].
Democrats don’t dare and Republicans no longer can.
Democrats are communists and appeasers.
Republicans are socialists and pillow fighters.
No reason to vote for either party.
Time for a change all right, but not to Barack KKK Not Proud of and God Damn America Blow Up Pentagon Flip Flopper Hussein Obama’s change back to centuries old failed communism.
Time to get back to the Constitution by voting the Constitution Party/US Taxpayers Party. - Hank Dagny

Thanks to my friends at Ron Paul’s headquarters in Michigan - I got this.
This is an outrage - unless all signs were banned. That is a possibility. That little issue would need to be clarified. Signs posted along the walls or held up in the very back of the room should be fine. But waving and chanting would be a distraction and a riot starter. I doubt this librarian had total kaos in mind, but I would have liked to know if she was trying to violate the rules of the day.
I wonder if my Obama = Hillary = Lenin would be just fine in Denver? I’m guessing no.
I am a constitutionalist / conservative. I am with Libertarians on most issues. What confuses me about them is how they may disagree with Democrats, they seem to have a hatred of Republicans.
They are politically much closer to Republicans in platform than Democrats, but Libertarians seem to save all of their venom for the Republicans.
Republicans are doing wrong. The Democrats are trying to destroy this nation as we know it. I would think the Democrats would get most of the attention from Libertarians, US Taxpayers Party and the Constitution Party. They don’t. The Republicans do.
I don’t need to say this very often, but this one has me confused. - Hank Dagny
