My Open Letter To The GOP: Don't Forget The Disabled

By By Jared Allebest

Conservative Samizdat

Even though the election ended a few weeks ago, the Republican party is still feeling the sting of losing the election and are reviewing the reasons why the election did not turn out the way we predicted. I've sat read many articles that attempted to explain our party's loss and identify the problems of the GOP. It seems to me that there is a general consensus that the GOP party and Mitt Romney's campaign failed seriously take the current and future demographic make up of our country. Our country's make up has rapidly changed and will do so in the foreseeable future. As a result of these huge demographic change, their will be a change in how people view the government and its responsibility to the citizens.

The pundits, columnists, political advisers seem to all agree that our party needs reach out to important voting groups such as women, Asian Americans, Latinos, African-Americans or young people. However, there is one demographic that the GOP doesn't even make an attempt to reach out to that Democrats consistently do and they win by large margins.

Its people with disabilities.

According to some estimates, there are approximately 54 million Americans with some kind of disability. What's so important about this group is that it can be found in every demographic group in America. This group is found across every level of society and affects people of every age, race, occupation, education or economic situation.  This means that approximately 1 in 5 U.S. residents or 19 percent of America fall into this group. The democrats are very aware of this demographic and that's why they overwhelmingly win this voting demographic at the ballot box.

But the size of this group isn't limited to just those who have some form of disability. If you include the individuals, single parents, families, educators, law enforcement, the judicial system and businesses who deal with disabilities on a personal and daily basis, you have a large voting bloc since they also join in on the concerns and issues that this demographic group is concerned about. Think about it. We all know someone has some form of a disability whether it be severe or mild and we know the challenges they face. They are deeply concerned about promoting their interests and protecting their rights.

If the Republican party can reach out to this group and articulate how conservative principles will improve the lives of people with disability, it will dramatically change how people, especially minorities, view the Republican party. People will be more receptive to the conservative message and view the GOP in a more positive light if they could see the tangible impact on the lives of the disabled because they will know if it works for them, it will work others as well.  

In volunteering or working for various political candidates, I have suggested that we reach out to Deaf people as well as people with other disabilities. Nobody takes my suggestion seriously. But then again, the Republican Party and Conservatives don't fully understand why they need to. 

Conservatism is a universal yet unique message. Our principles and values apply to everyone regardless of who they are or what groups they belong to because our policies allow the greatest number of people to be successful in society. That is made possible because we believe that paths to success are as infinite and unique as the people who dare to dream to do what they aspire to do. 

Conservatism is a liberating, empowering and powerful message because the individual, can expand or push beyond the limitations that their bodies, circumstances, or background places upon them. It is a free thinking and open minded belief that encourages people to be their best selves and to constantly reach for new vistas of excellence. It allows people to reach their fullest potential by using their intellect and creative powers to solve problems that benefit themselves and others, to create products and services and to make beautiful paintings, art, books, film and clothing.

However, in the conservative world view, the individual isn't an island unto himself. There are times when the individuals rely on other individuals who freely and voluntarily pool their talents, resources and finances to individuals in need. Families, churches as well as educational and medical organizations are the best venues to help disabled people reach their full potential.

The final point to the conservative message is that we do believe in a limited government. This concept is is a message that needs to be better articulated to the public because non-conservatives understand this idea in theory but not in practice. What this means is that government is given specific duties as well as limited responsibilities and powers. In practice, that means that government can be the solution to some problems that are too large for individuals to fix and that provide fairness and equality to everyone.

This is why we need to better explain this message to the various groups because one of the major and common concerns of these voting groups such as women, Asian Americans, African Americans, Latinos and other minority groups is their concern about widespread discrimination both in the past, present and future as well as the inability to integrate into American society.

However, Republicans were once fully aware of these concerns and addressed it. After all, Republicans were the ones who got the post civil war Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution passed. It was the Republicans who passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Reconstruction Act of 1867 and other civil rights laws in 1875, 1890, 1922, 1935, 1938 as well as the anti-poll tax bills in 1942, 1944, and 1946. The Republican party also passed Civil Rights laws of 1957, 1964 and 1965.

When it comes to helping people with disabilities, it was a Republican President named Abraham Lincoln who established the Galludet University which is a college for Deaf people.

It was a Republican President, George H. W. Bush,  who signed the Americans With Disability Act (ADA). The law is not perfect but as a conservative lawyer who engages in disability discrimination litigation in a deeply Republican state populated by a majority of people who share my faith, I can tell you that this law and other anti-discrimination laws that help people with disabilities is the kind of limited government solutions to big problems that real conservatives endorse.

If the GOP wants to be successful in upcoming elections, they have to clearly articulate and demonstrate that our policies and agendas are ones where the greatest number of people benefit in a country that is very diverse with different ethnic, racial, social, religious, economic and physical backgrounds. We believe that the free market is the best way for all walks of life to become successful and we also believe that the government can help those who sincerely need it. We do not believe that government should be helping everyone regardless if they need it or not.  

When conservatives talk about limited government, conservatives can demonstrate what they mean by that phrase. The disability community relies on government for assistance, legislation and public funded programs and they are justified in doing so. They don't seek a government handout. These programs help people who truly need it to in order to be independent, to obtain medical assistance they cannot afford, or to become active participants in society.  

Conservatives should tread very carefully when talking about people who receive government assistance because their are certainly those who abuse the system and there are those who truly need it. Libertarians and Conservatives have been careless and not very articulate when talking about Americans who receive public assistance of some kind.  There are those, such as John Stossel, who have openly opposed anti discrimination laws such as the ADA. They fail to realize that they're alienating people rather than attracting people to their political views when they make stupid comments about individuals with disabilities.

I don't oppose people criticizing the ADA since there are valid objections to be made. However, what these critics fail to realize that for people with disabilities, life in the absence of these laws was not that great. Thanks to these laws, it helps to combat discrimination, allow disabled people to be employed with businesses supplying reasonable accommodations for them and having the technology to become more integrated into our society. Disabled people didn't have these kinds of protections back then.

As a result, the Republican party and conservatives need to do better at making their case to the American people when it come to the discussion of the entitlement society and the people who rely on some form of government assistance. We need to make the distinction clear to the American people that we oppose those who who abuse the system and support government support for those who truly need it.We need to set up policies that understands this distinction and addresses these problems. 

I know that reaching out to people with disabilities is a winning message. I've seen it. When Sarah Palin talked about her commitment to help people with disabilities and to make it a priority as Vice President in her 2008 GOP convention speech, she got conservatives Moms and Dads excited and teary eyed. But if Sarah Palin and others want to reach out to the Disability community, they're going to have to mean it since many the GOP rarely follow through with talk of including them in our party or government policies. 

The conservative philosophy for individuals with disability works. I know because I am an example of it. I have worked hard to overcome discrimination and other obstacles to become one of the handful of Deaf attorneys in the United States. I have received assistance from the government not as a hand out but as a stepping stone to achieving my dreams of becoming an attorney. 

If the GOP wants to become successful, they need stop playing safe in promoting our message but go out and share that message in places we normally don't share it:   

What I am talking about is taking the conservative message, a message that stands to benefit everyone in society, to places the GOP often ignores--local African-American and Hispanic church groups, feminist centers, and left-leaning college campuses, to name a few.   

Will your message face resistance? Yes, and that's okay. It gives you a chance to correct false, media-driven stereotypes about conservatives and conservatism. Will you convert the majority in one afternoon? Of course not; these stereotypes have been inculcated over decades. Opening hearts and minds is a process, not a lunch appointment. 

If the GOP is serious in winning elections in the future, they're going have to get serious about promoting that message. We don't need to change our core values, principles or beliefs. We already have a wining message. We just need to do better in reaching out to those people and helping them understand that conservatives believe that government needs to get out of the way of those who don't need government and to get involved with those who do need it.

Why we fight, or, I will not shrug

By Cris Pace

“Mr. Rearden,” said Francisco, his voice solemnly calm, “if you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders-what would you tell him to do?”
“I . . . don’t know. What . . . could he do? What would you tell him?”

To keep doing what he knew in his heart to be right, no matter the cost, no matter the struggle.

So in amongst all the stupid idiots claiming that Romney didn’t win because he wasn’t conservative enough (yes, because his economics were more conservative than Reagan’s, his foreign policy was as conservative as Reagan’s and like Reagan he seemed to have a certain libertarian streak for social issues at the federal level…no, not conservative at all) and all the bickering over “demographics are destiny” (possibly the stupidest line I’ve ever heard), I heard a very bleak assessment by Dennis Miler:

I like a country where people bust their tuckus, and I think this country’s gone a long way towards becoming more of a European model. And I would say, once again, read the book, Amity Shlaes’ book, The Forgotten Man. If you are out there now making $45,000 a year, busting your hump, being away from your family because it’s in your hard drive to do the ‘right thing’– the ‘right thing’ changed in this country yesterday. You can get close to that from the government. And I’m telling you, when Nancy Pelosi said ‘kids take some time off, read a book, learn an instrument’ well listen it’s not always about kids, sometimes it’s about these hard working guys out there who I feel sorry for. And I would tell them, get in the hand out line, don’t get in the hand down line anymore—it doesn’t make sense.

I understand where Miller is coming from…all too well. That’s what is so disheartening about this election is that 62 million people voted to ensure that the 300 million in this nation will continue to suffer, continue to struggle, continue to lose what they have made and continue to work for what must seem to no avail. And damn them and their shortsighted grasping evil ways. They voted in a tyrant that will hurt the people of this nation and the world. And it just hurts to see that there is nothing we can do about it right now.

But Miller is wrong; the right thing did not change on Election Day.

The right thing before the election and after is to do what is right. And it will never be right to take something that has been stolen from another person. It will never be right not do everything in your power to make your life, your family’s life and the world around you better through whatever means you have.

I understand what Miller is saying, and I understand why he feels that way. But I cannot give up. It is just not in my nature. I was pretty depressed on Tuesday night and I even briefly took a longer than usual look at all those emails I get with offers to teach overseas (they were still not tempting enough). But what got me through were two things. The first was my faith in the universe that everything happens for a reason and that eventually everything will work out as it should—even if there are periods of extreme pain and suffering.

The second were two quotes.

The first was from one of my preferred British politicians, Tony Blair:

That’s what we’re fighting for. And it’s a battle worth fighting.
And I know it’s hard on America, and in some small corner of this vast country, out in Nevada or Idaho or these places I’ve never been to, but always wanted to go…
I know out there there’s a guy getting on with his life, perfectly happily, minding his own business, saying to you, the political leaders of this country, “Why me? And why us? And why America?”
And the only answer is, “Because destiny put you in this place in history, in this moment in time, and the task is yours to do.”

The quote may have originally been about the war in Iraq, but the sentiment is still true. There is right and there is wrong. There are policies that promote liberty and there are those that promote tyranny. It doesn’t matter if you want the fight or not, if the fight is there and you recognize right from wrong then “destiny put you in this place in history, in this moment in time, and the task is yours to do.”

But what if I just let some else do it?

And that’s where the second quote comes in, from one of the greatest movies ever made: Casablanca.

When asked why we fight, the character of Victor Laszlo gives the perfect answer.

Rick: Don’t you sometimes wonder if it’s worth all this? I mean what you’re fighting for.
Victor Laszlo: You might as well question why we breathe. If we stop breathing, we’ll die. If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die.

There is right and there is wrong. Good and evil. And every step Obama has made has been in the absolute wrong direction, and I have no faith he’s going to change course. (If he did, hell I’d support him—but I’m not so stupid as to think for one second he will). And thus whatever limited power I have through this blog, through my interactions with others; I have to use to push against this man and the ideology he represents.

Capitalism.  Liberty.  The Individual.  What is Right, and Good, and True, and Just.  America.  These are things worth fighting for, regardless of whether we win or not.  The fight holds its own virtue and is never in vain, for even if we don’t win this battle, or the next, or the next we provide the groundwork for the next person to pick up where we left off.

I’m not terribly convinced I’m going to win this fight in the short run. A miracle could always happen, but only a fool bets on them. But we do what is right because it is right, not because we are assured of winning. Yes there are times to make tactical retreats (which I think everyone forgets Atlas Shrugged was supposed to be, but Rand in her ever inefficient way hammered the let them have what they want point and forgot to hammer harder the point of we need to do this to have a chance to actually win in the long run) but that does not mean give up. So despite the taunting of some trolls, and despite Miller’s depressed statement. I will still be my workaholic self, because to be anything less would not be true to myself and for me would be unethical. And I will continue to use this blog and any other means I can find to advocate for what I believe to be true. Now I’m also going to divert a lot of the energy I’ve put into the blog for the last year into other projects I have neglected…
…but I will not shrug. And I hope I am not the only one.

Ann Coulter Silenced: Speaking Invitation Revoked By Cowardly College Republicans in Dubious Victory For Political Correctness

By Jesse Merkel

It's really sad that in 2012, one of the few places in the country that is supposed to be a bastion of open thinking and the exchange of ideas has become the exact opposite. This past week, the Fordham University College Republicans extended an invite to conservative columnist Ann Coulter to come speak at their university. Coulter, while always controversial, is a multiple-time bestselling author and a regular on the college speaking circuit.
 

It took only a matter of hours for the Fordham University administration and other student organizations to convince the college Republicans to back down and cancel their invite. University President Joseph M. McShane released a statement saying that while he could not force the student body to cancel their invitation, saying that he was severely disappointed would be a "tremendous understatement." 

That statement also says how student groups are allowed and even encouraged to invite speakers who will showcase diverse and even unpopular points of view. Yeah, right.

Ann Coulter Silenced Speaking Invitation Revoked
By Cowardly College Republicans in Dubious
 Victory For Political Correctness

The fact that the College Republicans folded like a cheap lawn chair so quickly is utterly pathetic. Now, many conservatives going to college know what it's like to be outnumbered 30 to 1. It's not fun. Liberals constantly roll their eyes whenever young Republicans complain about the bias on college campuses, because of course they do not see it. Hard to see forest when you're one of the trees. 

The mafia should take note. Apparently there is no need to strong-arm anyone anymore. All it takes is a Facebook page and a petition at change.org.

What's the whole point of this free speech thing if we're not going to use it? Newsflash, people: Freedom of speech was guaranteed not just to protect speech that is popular or fun. There is no point in protecting speech that no one will ever have a problem with. If no one ever said anything that never caused a stir, there wouldn't be much point.

A few decades ago, a generation of free-spirited liberals descended upon college campuses, raising ideas, starting protests and giving speeches against things that were considered the norm. A few things have happened over the past few decades. Those liberals have grown up. Many of them stayed on the campus. Now that they are the super majority, they seem to have forgotten the importance of saying something that may not be popular, but nevertheless is important.

However, as fun as it is, I'm not here to beat up a bunch of politically correct college liberals. I'm here to beat up on the cowardly College Republicans, who caved in faster than Michael Moore on a diet.

The College Republicans at Fordham, instead of backpedaling to pressure from other groups, should have maybe taken a moment to remind their fellow students and administrators that colleges are supposed to be welcoming to all schools of thought.

Perhaps they could have reminded them that while people like Ann Coulter sometimes say things that other people find offensive, it is protected speech. When said on radio or television, it is protected speech not only by the First Amendment to the Constitution, but by the FCC as well. 

According to the TheFreeDictionary.com, the definition of "liberal" is someone who is "Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry." Well, thank god that's still true at college campuses like Fordham. You can say whatever you want to say and invite anyone to speak that you wish .... as long as it doesn't conflict with anyone else's views.

These sniveling little poltroons may want to remind people that while Coulter has said things that are critical of other religions, ideologies and cultures, she has never once gone up to a microphone and bellowed out a call to arms. She has never said "Let's start a race war!" That would be hateful, and incendiary. However, she's never done that.

The Fordham University College Republicans should have reminded those who had a problem with Coulter's appearance about some of the other speakers that have been allowed on college campuses to speak before. Dr. Norman Finkelstein, Michael Moore, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Cindy Sheehan, and Kamau Kambon have all spoken at colleges before, often saying some very harsh things. (Kambon in particular had a little gem about the reasons to kill all white people.) They could also have discussed the fact that several universities have employed people far more inflammatory than Coulter.  

Coulter may be brash and inflammatory, but she is also a brilliant attorney, a syndicated columnist and the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers. Coulter is a self-described polemicist, and is quite good at it. She knows exactly how to get a reaction out of people to highlight her point, much like the aforementioned Mr. Moore.

After that, the sniveling College Republicans might have mustered up enough courage to realize that they were within the right. Even if Coulter was not their first choice (The ever-safe and boring George Will was), they should have realized that they were not breaking any rules. Perhaps they didn't like the idea of facing several hundred protesting students. Maybe they wanted to keep getting invited to all of the really cool parties on campus. 

Finally, the College Republicans should have taken a moment to tell people that they do not have a right to not be offended. No one is so blessed in this life that they will never have to worry about hearing something they do not like. It does not matter if they are man or a woman. It does not matter if they are an ethnic minority. You are going to hear things in life you don't like. At the end of the day, if people do not like what is being said on radio or television, they can turn the dial. If they do not like something someone might say in a speech, they can stay in their dorms. 

These cowardly lions could have asked for those outraged at their decision to take up a full page ad in the college newspaper admitting once and for all that they want the liberal champions to be able to say what the conservative ones cannot. Why not? Just ask them to admit they want a double standard! Naw, that'd take some guts.

If these students are not willing to take a little heat and stick up for what they supposedly believe in, then they should disband their group. While they're at it, they might as well apply duct tape to their mouths and join the opposition. If you're going to go with the path of least resistance, why not go the whole nine yards?

The Founding Fathers knew that freedom of speech was perhaps the most precious and valuable freedom that one can ever possess. If a group of college kids aren't going to have the gonads to stand up for it, then what is the point of it? Those at Fordham University, including the college president, should be ashamed of themselves. However, it's not something totally unexpected. The College Republicans at Fordham however, should feel even worse. 

There is no point in anyone joining their group or supporting them ever again if they are not going to have the courage to stand up for the basic rights that we are all supposed to enjoy. You can't cave in every time some special interest group gets pissed off. You will never stop capitulating. Ever.

Coulter would have given her speech to those who supported her as well as those that had the courage to hear someone with a differing viewpoint. There would have been some protests the day of, but by the next week, no one would have cared. 

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln

Thought............

By Kenny Youngblood

THOUGHT: When You Have Heard Or Do Hear Someone Saying Everyone Will Be Effected By The Upcoming Tax Increases, Which Go Into Effect On January 01, 2013 And You Have Been Told Or You Think That They Are Speaking Of Everyone Except You, Then You Are Absolutely Mistaken.

First A Quick Fact: While You Are Being Told That It Is The “Evil” Republicans That Are Going To Raise Taxes Because They Are Unwilling To Raise Taxes On “Rich” People, You Should Know That It Is Absolutely Mr. Obama Alone That Will Be Raising Your Taxes, Not By A Unilateral Tax Increase, But Instead By Failing To Continue The Currently Imposed Tax Cuts, Which He Has Extended In The Past Because As He Said, It Would Be Detrimental To Our, Already Weak Economy.

However, His Refusal To Now Extend These Same Tax Cuts Again, Will Allow The Taxes To Increase To Their Original Levels Before Those Tax Cuts Were Originally Implemented. Thus, He Has The Power To Extend Those Cuts Or Let Them Expire And He Is Choosing To Let Them Expire. (In A Weak Economy) 

Why? So He Can Blame The Republicans For Not “Compromising“ With Him And Then He Will Blame Them Again For Keeping Your Tax Rates High, Because Of Their Refusal To Raise Rates Even Higher On The Job Creators, Also Known As Your Employers. When In Fact, It Is He Alone, Who Is Refusing To Prevent Your Taxes From Going Up And Help You, Right Now And Prevent Hurting You Then…

So Will This Effect You? For Whatever Reason That You Believe That You Will NOT Be Effected, Even If You Have No “Taxable Income” And Feel You Are Immune From Any Financial Repercussions From This Portion Of The Looming So Called “Fiscal Cliff”, Please Consider It Does Not Even Have To Directly Effect Your Income To Indirectly Effect You Financially. 

When This Same, Effects Others’ Income, Then They Will Be Forced To Adjust Their Pricing Of Those Same Products And Services That You Personally Purchase For Your Necessities And/Or Desires. Therefore, Even Your Untaxed Income Will Then Buy Less Than It Did Prior To Those Necessary Price Increases…

IS IT OVER? NOT JUST YET!

By Evelio Perez

Yes, Folks it appears that it's true, Mitt Romney will not be the next President of the United States. We fought the dirtiest, most divisive and corrupt Chicago Political machine in the history of modern politics and took a brutal beating!

This was the moment that most of us Mitt- Heads had been painfully waiting for, we have been at the edge of our seats for five long years for this historic moment to occur in our lives. It was supposed to be our day, our time, our victory, and yes, this was is our Super Bowl. But.......They cheated, they took something very precious away from us, our right to have a free and fair election. 

We have seen the theft of the Democratic Process all over the world, just recently in Venezuela. The people were discouraged to protest obvious voter fraud on Election Day with TANKS, yes TANKS!
 Have we become like Venezuela where from now on, we are assured of the same outcome? 

For so long, the Obama campaign was out to "Kill Mitt", well guess what folks? They were also out to kill us.......
We got challenged, ridiculed, patronized, insulted, vandalized, threatened, and some of us even got spat on.
We have been called Nazis, Fascists, Extremists, The Evil Rich, Women Haters, Dirty Mormons, Wife Killers, Evil Job Killers and even Racists.

It seems that they (The Left) will continue to feel tingles up their legs (Ala Chris Mathews), as they continue to demean and call us dirty names. They will continue to make it really hard for us to live a decent conservative lifestyle simply because we have the nerve to think different. 

Well, not with this Cuban-American, not now, not ever!

We cannot stand by and allow this miss-carriage of justice to stand, we just can't. The Free World is watching what we do, the hope and credibility of our process is in deep scrutiny.
We must not give up on Mitt Romney just yet, not now. 

 Call your State's Attorney General and demand justice. We must demand an investigation on.......
1) Voting machine fraud
2) We must Crosscheck voting rolls
3) Make sure that all who were eligible to vote, voted
4) Investigate complaints by Poll Watchers
5) Allow ALL of our Military votes to count
6) When all of this is done, then demand a RECOUNT 

 Finally, we must give mandatory jail time for voter fraud, if we don't...this farce will continue....... 

It is our duty as Sworn Citizens of this great land to fight for what is right, regardless of the cost. Too many people died to give us this right and I'll be dammed if I don't do everything I can to honor the great men and women who fought and gave all they had. It is our moral duty to fix what is broken and make things right.
 Folks, the obvious theft of our most precious right to vote has been ripped out of our grasp....... now go and get it back!

Liberal Crania(L)ogic Crapola

By Kenny Youngblood

Liberal Crania(L)ogic Crapola: So Let Me Get This Straight. Mr. Obama Says He And His Supporters Are Prepared To See Tax Rates Increase On Every Single Tax Paying American, IF The Republican Majority Controlled, House Of Congress Does NOT Agree To Increase The Tax Rates On All Of Those Making Two Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars Or More Per Year… 

His Logic Is, That The Republican Majority Is Only Holding Out On Not Agreeing, Because They Are Protecting The “Rich” And He Is Betting That The Republican Majority Controlled House, Will Not Allow All Of Those Taxpayers Making Below Two Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars Per Year, To Be Crushed With His Threatened Tax Hikes, So They Will Stop Protecting The “Rich” And Agree To Raise Their Tax Rates, As He And His Supporters Desire. 

How Is It, That One Held In Such High Regard As A Brilliant Man, Can NOT See The Absurdity Of His Logic? Does He Simply NOT Comprehend That A Laid Off Tax Payer, Who Use To Make Below Two Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars Per Year, Is Crushed Even More Under His Tax The Rich Plan?

Just Look Around You And You Will See American Companies Laying Off Workers More And More Since The Election, Because Of The Confirmation Of The Pending Increase In Taxes Associated With Mr. Obama’s Last “Logical” Idea, That Will Soon Be Implemented. So What Positive Will Come When They Are Hit With Another Tax Increase, Even On Top Of The First One?

This Will Help Even The Simplest Minds Understand How Vital All Of Those Making Two Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars Or More Per Year, Are To All Of Those Making Below Two Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars Per Year. 

All You Have To Do, Is Look Around You And Find Those In The “Higher Than” Category Working For Those In The “Lower Than” Category And Those Two Or Three Dozen, Are Called Lottery Winners Who Love Their Job. Now, Pay Attention To How Many In The “Lower Than” Category Are Working For Someone (Or A Company) In The “Higher Than” Category… You Will Absolutely See That It Is At Least 99.99%.

For Every Percentage Of Increase In Their Taxes, An Equal Percentage Is Decreased From Their Profits. Thus, They Must Cut Costs And Employees Are Costs, Especially With The Added “Obama Care” Tax Mandate Attached To Each One…

Only If Someone Would Just Tell Our Government, IF They Too Cut Costs From Their Wasteful Spending And Put Some Of Their Departments Back Into The Private Sector, They Also Would In Fact, Receive More Revenue From More Revenue Producers… 

Oh Wait, That Is What The Conservative Republicans Have Been Saying, Isn’t It?

CONSIDER THIS

By Kenny Youngblood 

CONSIDER THIS: Remember When… A Serving Rear Admiral And An Army General Both Serving In The Region Of The Benghazi, Libya Consulate Attack, Lost Their Positions And Were Reassigned And Relocated Under Very Suspicious Circumstances And Military Personnel Familiar With Each Of Those Officers, Vehemently Proclaimed It Was Over Their Objecting To Orders Received To “Stand Down” And I Told You, What Gave Those Claims Credibility Was That It Was Highly Unusual For Someone As Respected And Renown As General Carter Ham To Suddenly Be Relieved From His Position Of Commander Of Africa Command (AFRICOM) With Six Months Still Remaining On His Two Year Assignment, As Well As, It Was Even Far More Unusual For Someone As Respected And Renown As The Commander Of The USS John C. Stennis Strike Group, Navy Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette To Suddenly Be Unceremoniously Removed From His Command While Still Out To Sea, In Mid Deployment, And When Inquires Were Made As To Why He Was Removed, The Only Response Given, Was That He Is "Under Investigation For Inappropriate Leadership Judgment." To Which Another Navel Officer Stated, “For Him To Legally, Be Physically Removed From The Deck Means, He Had To Had Done Something That Threatened The Morale Or THREATENED CHAIN OF COMMAND Over A Situation.", Do You Remember Those Peculiar Events ? 

Well Today It Just So Happened That The Director Of The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) David Petraeus Suspiciously Submitted His Letter Of Resignation And No Doubt, There Will Be Varying Details Of Why This Is Happening, Usually Including A Statement Of Some Degree Of Degradation, But The Fact Is, That This Decorated Military Veteran That Became Director Of The CIA, Which Coincidentally Made The Statement A Few Weeks Ago, “That No Order To ‘Stand Down’ Was Ever Given BY THE CIA“, Is Now Unexpectedly Resigning And Right After The Election, As Well As After Just Barely Completing His First Year After Being Sworn In, For That Same Position.

It‘s Just Pure Coincidence, I‘m Sure… 

Oh, And To All Of The Doubters And Haters Who Believe That This Is Just Personal Speculation Or Conspiracy Theory Or Just Idiotic, You Are Saying That You Choose To Believe That (3)Three Top United States Military And Security Personnel, With Decades Of Impeccable Service Records, All Within Days Of Each Other And Only A Couple Of Weeks After One Of The Most Controversial Administrative, National Security And Military Events Occurred, All Of The Sudden Became Unfit To Hold Their Assigned Positions, For Whatever Excuse You Have Been Given, Instead Of Choosing To Even Consider, That The Proven Most Deceitful And Intentionally Misleading Administration, Could Be Continuing With Their Current Cover-Up Efforts, Which Are Currently Being Investigated By Multiple Entities… 

If You Are Correct, Then All Of Our Military And National Security Personnel Could Be In Real Jeopardy But If You Are Incorrect, It Will Probably Be Limited To Only A Few Others Who Know The Truth And/Or Stood Up To The Administration….

ARE PARENTS TO BLAME THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE LIBERAL?

By Evelio Perez

We as parents must share in some of the blame and responsibility in not raising our children the way that we want them to be raised.  
We have to search deep and ask ourselves the million dollar question..............................
Why are are most of America's youth Liberal?

 Our children are faced with radical Far Left indoctrination from grade school through college. They are constantly bombarded with their hyped global warming stories, beginning with the poor polar bears that are dying because of the evil Republicans to showing your children how to dress up a banana with a condom in Sex Education, all of this starting in Elementary school.

 They will of course teach them that everybody should make the same money and have the same belongings because it is only fair, and of course it is the fault of these rich mean Republicans who are starving the world that are causing all of the problems.

 They will teach our children that America is a mean and nasty country responsible for all of the evil and injustices around the world.  
They will also tell them that Americans are naturally bad and that it is up to them as the future good people to change this country to a more fairer place so that way everybody will live in peace and harmony throughout the planet. 
We are facing the destruction of our precious way of life that we hold so dear and the solution starts at home.

 Guys, we don't turn over the teachings of ideology of our children to the Marxist indoctrination machine,  that is OUR JOB, it is our responsibility to tell them the real truth of what is really going on and the sooner we start, the sooner the youth in this country will be ready for the Socialist onslaught that is awaiting them when they start school.

Take the extra time and talk to your children about what is going on around the world, it is never too early to teach them about whats right and wrong especially in the political arena, remember it is never early enough for these people to teach your children..........

Mitt Romney Express - What's Next?

By Evelio Perez

I am at a loss of words and very fearful for our country tonight. It appears that our beloved Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has come short of achieving his goal of becoming our nation's 45th President.
To my amazement, President Barack Obama has been re-elected president of The United States. May God help us all...........

As for me, I will continue my fight through my blog Evelio Perez, In My Opinion against the people that want to reshape America into an immoral Socialist society.

I am very proud of my fellow Mitt Romney Express Co-Administrators Matt Yutsy and Nathan Rollins for which believe me, were a huge part of Mitt Romney Express and a major reason of why we never stopped giving you the latest Mitt news.

For personal reasons, I did not identify myself throughout the life of Mitt Romney Express, I felt that though my anonymous tag (@), that I was able to concentrate and do more on the task at hand at helping to get Gov. Romney's message out. 

This page will continue to run in honor of the great Gov. Mitt Romney. Hopefully Matt and Nathan will continue to honor us with their valued contribution to this page.

Finally, I want to extend my hand and heart to all of you (Mitt-Heads), that have touched my heart in more ways that you can imagine. 
May God bless Mitt and Ann Romney and may God bless The United States of America.................... @

Who Will Win the Election: Romney, If America is Still A Center Right Nation

By John Giokaris

The last person the Obama campaign and Democrats across America wanted to be running against in 2012 was Mitt Romney. They were dying for a social conservative lightening rod like Rick Santorum, who was full of polarizing statements like, “children whose fathers were locked in prison would be better off than children raised by a lesbian couple.” Or even a Newt Gingrich, who comes with a long history of baggage includingextramarital affairs and other political scandals.

Growing up, I was always told America is a center-right country. If that’s still the case, it doesn’t get more center-right than Mitt Romney.

For starters, Romney has a picture-perfect family, so that removed any Gingrich-esque opportunities for the Democrats to exploit. Romney also isn't a far right social conservative lightening rod either, despite the left’s desperate attempts to paint him as one. Quite the opposite, he was elected as a Republican in an ultra liberal blue state like Massachusetts, where he cut spending by $1.6 billion, balanced a budget without raising taxes, and turned a $3 billion deficit into a $700 million surplus, giving his state a credit rating upgrade and lowering unemployment down to 4.7% - all while working with an 85% Democratic state legislature. There was simply no evidence to support an attack accusing Romney of being a partisan extremist, but that didn’t stop the left from trying.

Even worse for liberals, Romney cut his teeth in the private sector for 25 years, building a career by saving struggling businesses and making a name for himself as a turnaround specialist. It was Democrats’ worst nightmare, considering economic performance is where President Obama scores worst among voters. During Obama’s term as President, his administration has added more debt in less than 4 years than the previous administration added in 8 years, racking uprecord trillion dollar deficits and eclipsing our entire GDP, leading to a first ever credit rating downgrade. The labor force participation rate is at a record low while we had a record long stretch of unemployment over 8%. Inflation is rising and average household net worth has fallen by 40%.

In other words, the economy, job creation, and the debt/deficit are the last things the Democrats wanted to make this election about. A Pew Research Center study only confirmed their fears, showing that more than eight-in-ten voters ranked the economy (86%) and jobs (84%) as the most important issues in deciding who to vote for this fall, followed by the federal budget deficit at 74%. In fact, the three issues at the bottom of the list that voters ranked as least important were abortion (39%), birth control (34%), and gay marriage (28%).

That’s not a winning formula for Democrats. Their bread and butter is exploiting social issues by milking emotional stories and trying to distract Americans from all the economic failures around us. So if abortion and gay marriage weren’t going to matter this year, they were going to make them matter.

And they had every tool at their disposal with the mainstream media firmly on their side. The progressive elites of the New York news media, Washington insiders, and Hollywood celebrities were going to try just as hard to keep Obama in office in 2012 as they tried to get him elected in 2008. The hypocritical attacks were endless.

They accused Romney of being “out of touch” with mainstream America because he was a part of the 1%, while completely ignoring that fact that Obama is also a Harvard graduate worth million of dollars (never mind the fact that they didn’t give a damn that John Kerry’s net worth of $240 million was way more than George W. Bush’s of $26 million in 2004). As if the progressive elites of the New York news media, Washington insiders, and Hollywood celebrities have any idea what’s “in touch” with mainstream America.

They tried to do anything they could to spin Romney’s comments out of context like “not caring about poor people” while scrambling to defend Obama’s controversial comments such as, “You didn’t build that!”

They tried to accuse Romney of being a flip-flopper while classifying Obama’s about face on saying Obamacare wasn’t a tax, reversing his policy on immigration, and switching from beingfor gay marriage to against gay marriage to being for it again as “evolving.”

They even had the nerve to claim that Romney wasn’t being “honest with the American public” and criticizing his transparency on his personal tax returns when this administration has covered up everything from Obama’s personal record like his college transcripts and list of legal clients he had when he was practicing law to major political scandals such as Fast and Furious and theBenghazi attack where American citizens were killed.

When Nixon was caught pulling a campaign stunt 40 years ago, the liberal media went ballistic. But when this president was caught using “executive privilege” to stop the investigation into Fast and Furious dead in its tracks and lying about claiming the Benghazi attack was a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islamic American film that got out of hand and had no prior warning of, the media watchdogs were nowhere to be found.

The Romney campaign kept its messaging solely focused on Obama’s record as president, his policies and his results. The Obama campaign launched personal character attacks against Romney, trying to convince America that Romney is a right-wing extremist (while simultaneously having no principles) who hates America, women, dogs, gays, and poor people, while also being a wimp, international embarrassment, a felon who doesn’t pay his taxes, and a murderer. The double standard was unbelievable.

Yet despite the brutal, disgusting, dishonest, petty non-stop efforts to paint this caricature of Romney to the American public, this fake persona was shattered after the first presidential debate, when Americans got to see who Romney truly is and what he stands for without the disingenuous context of the Obama campaign and liberal media. Once the polls started swinging for Romney afterwards, the left went into panic mode and only ramped up their efforts higher. The scrambled to come up with any excuse as to why Obama lost the debate, including blaming the altitude in Denver, John Kerry’s debate prep, Fox News, not being able to use teleprompters during the debate, and even going so far as to claim the media was actually pro-Romney.

Here’s the bottom line: Ironically, Obama summed it up best in 2008 when he said, “If you don’t have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare the voters. If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things.” That’s precisely what his re-election campaign did in 2012, choosing to focus on birth control, “binders full of women” and Big Bird instead of bipartisan solutions, economic performance and job record.

Or worse, they simply lied and tried to convince America that the 2012 Republican ticket was Todd Akin-Richard Mourdock running on abortion, abortion, and abortion instead of Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan running on implementing solutions that have bipartisan support such as pro-growth tax reform, domestic energy development, and debt/deficit reduction.

Does Anthony Weiner represent every Democrat in America; do they all tweet naked pictures of themselves? Does Charlie Rangel or Rod Blagojevich represent every Democrat in America; are they all more corrupt than the Chicago Machine (where Obama got his start by the way)? Then why must Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock represent every Republican in America? Again, the double standard is just amazing.

But no amount of deceit, divisions and distractions can substitute for lack of solutions to problems that all Americans are suffering from. People struggling to find jobs and collecting unemployment checks could care less what some Senate candidate in Missouri thinks. Parents of soldiers who are serving abroad aren’t preoccupied with Romney’s tax returns.

What most Americans care about is leadership in this country. They want pay checks, not food stamps. They want someone who knows how a free market economy works, not someone who works for more government control over every aspect of our system from health care and finance to energy and education. They want someone with a proven track record of reaching across the aisle to solve problems, not a far left extremist (seriously, name one issue that Obama’s not liberal on) who puts unions, trial lawyers and the green energy lobby first over everyone else.

That’s why middle class and even poor voters alike are voting for Romney. That’s why Republican voter enthusiasm has trumped Democratic voter enthusiasm all year. That’s why Romney has been leading independents by double digits – the most since Ronald Reagan in 1984. Romney is a center right candidate for a center right nation focused on economic recovery, job creation and stopping the federal bleeding of red ink – all goals where Obama has failed miserably.

And despite the liberal media’s best efforts, that’s what this election is about.
