Tent Making in American Politics

Posted by CPT on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 6:06:18 PM
So many pundits, many of them leftist offer sage advice on how the Republicrats could again become the party in power.  They speak of "mainstream" and "big tents" and "moderation".  The collectivists would love the elephants to follow this advice so they can remain a party with no principles and very little electoral appeal.  Non-activist voters tend to want conviction, principle and the keeping of promises made.  The lack of these is what causes America's historical disapproval of the current ruling elite.

For the republicrats to become Republican again they don't need a "big tent" they need a new tent.  Done right, the tent will be enormous.  Following this simple RWR ideal; "A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers." is the path to take.

Don't convince people who don't share conservative and originalist beliefs to join the party.  It will weaken it.  Rather educate people about the truth of history.  Demonstrate the policies that have worked.  Free enterprise, individual liberty, personal responsibility and small Federal government.  Illustrate the failures of EVERY big government "solution".  The great depression, extended by government.  The war on poverty failure.  Government regulation killing industries or driving them off-shore.  The list is not endless but is very long.

The "tent" will be HUGE of its own accord because people want prinicpled leadership from people who intend to SERVE rather than rule.  Don't build a big tent, build the tent right.

Silence in the Courts

Posted by CPT on Friday, May 22, 2009 11:13:28 AM
While generally opposing activist courts it is most disconcerting when they don't or won't act in their actual constitutional role.  The Federal Behemoth's nationalizing of private companies is quite grossly outside the scope of their enumerated powers.

Actual harm to private citizens and their property is taking place.  From the link above; "GM pensioners, did indeed represent something like $20 billion worth of GM’s liabilities. So the idea that the union should get an equity stake in return for that is fair enough. However, the UAW is getting three times as much as the bondholders, who represent $28 billion of GM’s outstanding liability."

Where is equal protection under the law?  Where is the prohibition on illegal "taking".  Where is the "fairness" that collectivists so frequently moan about?.

Who has standing to bring suit?  Why hasn't it been done already?  If I held those bonds I'd be suing GM's butt off as well as challenging the blatantly unconstitutional actions of the executive branch.

Worth Repeating at your Tea Parties

Posted by CPT on Thursday, March 26, 2009 9:00:33 AM

We recommend you send this to your alleged representatives in Washington D.C.  Immediately!  Share this across your Tea Party Sites and talk about it at your Tea Parties.  Get your States to pass a similar resolution.

Text of the New Hampshire (Live Free or Die) 10th Amendment resolution.

“That the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General (federal) Government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a General Government for special purposes, delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”

New (Original) Government Model

Posted by CPT on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 6:42:21 PM
I get frustrated that the jabbering class such as Shill Hammity only seem to be able to parrot republicrat talking points.  On close examination what does what the Elephants *claim* mean?  They didn't demonstrate it in the years of Republicrat control of Congress.  That is because they are spouting undefined and unquantifiable platitudes of "limited government" and "fiscal conservative".  Those can mean whatever a politicrat wishes it to mean.
Here is what is needed by a political grouping to secure long term responsible governance at the Federal level.
Fight for Constitutional Government.  Not limited government or any other vagary.
If our representatives in all branches of Federal Government conformed to actual Constitutional government the Federal Behemoth would shrink, the economy would grow, the liberties of the citizenry would once again blossom and the culture would stabilize as like minded individuals congregated in communities of common values.
Yes, the non-productive, lazy and criminal would no longer suckle at the Federal teat.  Care for the unfortunate is not a Federal power.  Read the Constitution.
Simple solutions are called "too simplistic" because they threaten the governing oligarchy and the blatherers on both sides of the media who support them and perpetuate their rule.
Fight for American Freedom

Does the Constitution mean anything?

Posted by CPT on Friday, June 27, 2008 12:38:34 PM
One has to wonder.

From the recent Supreme Court rulings to Media Blatherers blaming people for economic realities. Even in getting a case "right" the black robed, life-tenured, unconstitutional legislators got much wrong as we've shown.

Do the majority of Americans care about liberty and freedom anymore?  About their inherent (and we believe God given) rights?  Do they know or care (or both?!?) about Constitutional Government?  Do many citizens know what the founders intended to be the scope of the Federal behemoth?

Let us know.

How do you like your statism?

Posted by CPT on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 5:15:47 PM
Wrapped in psuedo-messianic general formless platitudes?  Vote for Obama.
Big unconstitutional government interventionist policies dressed in elephant skin? Vote for McCain
Can't win because of our big unconstitutional government forms and general ignorance of much of the electorate?  Vote for a Green, Libertarian or Constitution party candidate.

Many make the pragmatist argument.  "We have to have the judges" or  "The other person would be worse".  The question is, after 5 straight "lesser of two evils" elections, when do the *pragmatists* realize that fundamental, quantified, constitutional change and restoration is what is required?  Will the ignorant ever care?  They BELIEVE that the Federal behemoth actually is empowered to do the things they do.  Give money to people and States.  Control social policy nationwide.  Much much more of course.  Very little of this is enumerated as Federal power or purview in the Constitution.  McCain and Obama are obviously either ignorant (scary) of this fact or purposefully ignoring (scarier) this fact.

For whom will you vote?
