Democrats Can’t Wait for Hillary to Lose?

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” Hillary isn’t a new bride but she’s hoping to cross the threshold of the White House yet again. This time as President. If she wins her party’s nomination, the likelihood that even her gender or name will ascend her to the highest office in the land isn’t likely. Evidence of that are the lackluster sales of her latest book and her inept presidential campaign launch.

Many Democrats can’t wait for 2020 when they can run a presidential candidate they’re excited about. Until then, they’ll throw Hillary the “here’s your last chance” bone in this unlikely third Obama term in order to remove Hillary from the limelight once and for all. Democrats know a Hillary defeat would allow the country to heal after Obama’s disastrous presidency. The real work of the party will be focusing on taking the Senate in 2016, while also finding and grooming the right candidate for 2020.

Meanwhile, expect to see liberal publications like the New York Times do some Hillary bashing from time to time in hopes of enticing an Elizabeth Warren run or an Al Gore resurgence. Rest assured once the GOP primaries begin, the left-wing media will have Hillary’s back no matter what, knowing she doesn’t stand a chance of winning without them. Her rendezvous at Chipotle and sit-downs with political operatives last week were nothing less than abysmal. Yet you’ll never know that listening to mainstream media. They’ll go only so far with their criticism knowing they may not have another candidate willing to take her place.

I realize this is unconventional wisdom so let’s look at this introspectively. George H.W. Bush is the only president in modern history that has won the presidency after his predecessor of the same party. He had the benefit of being branded  “Ronald Reagan’s third term.” Unfortunately for Hillary, few are interested in having “Obama’s third term.”  At a time when Americans are fed up with stagnant wages, a declining labor force, real unemployment at nearly 10 percent, poverty numbers increasing, real median household incomes shrinking, the dream of homeownership slipping away, unaffordable “Obamacare” healthcare, ISIS , Putin, Iran, Benghazi, the abandonment of our ally Israel and an America divided by identity politics, the race for the White House is the GOP’s to lose.

A democrat got us into this mess and America will not elect one to get us out! Despite all of this, Obama’s record is the least of Hillary’s worries. In a quote posted at the National Journal, Hillary focused on four areas of concern her administration would tackle if elected: “building the economy up ‘tomorrow not yesterday,’ strengthening families and communities, fixing the country’s dysfunctional political system — including getting ‘unaccountable’ money out of the system — and protecting Americans from external threats.”

Suddenly, her unfocused campaign became focused after Florida Senator Marco Rubio put her on the defense in his announcement to seek the presidency just a day prior. He effectively framed her as “a leader of yesterday.” As a result, her first course of action as president she claims would be “building the economy up ‘tomorrow, not yesterday.'” Besides being uninspiring no one knows what that means. In an era where Americans have endured one of its worst presidents, and arguably one of its worst Secretaries of State, Hillary Clinton, we want real “Change.” Today, “change we can believe in” includes a less evasive federal government with a leader Americans trust even when they don’t necessarily agree with some policy.

My opening quote seems more fitting for Hillary’s campaign. Her age will be a factor. Not to mention she has an “old name.” Part of Obama’s appeal in 2008 was that he wasn’t a “Clinton!” Americans were ready to move on then and they are now. Secondly, Hillary Clinton has nothing new to offer the American people with her policies. She’d be better off operating as a centrist that could unite Americans. Instead she has to be careful not to offend President Obama or inspire Elizabeth Warren to jump into the primary. Her ideas aren’t new! They belong to Obama, Warren and all of the socialist minded leftists that preceded them. Freedom and Capitalism will always be new to dreamers around the world, as they wait in droves to escape leftist policies in their own countries.

Thirdly, borrowing operatives to “act” like average citizens who want  a sit-down conversation with Hillary is indicative of how out of touch she is with everyday Americans. Voters don’t want a candidate who borrows experiences for commercials! They want a leader who is acquainted with their experiences! Lastly, when considering “something blue,” Americans will be reminded of the “blue dress” and all of the scandals that plagued the Clinton Administration, along with the gloomy eight years we’ve had under Democrat policies. One can also point to failing economic states that happen to be led by “Blue” Democrat governors.

The GOP won’t have an easy presidential win in 2016. However, with a candidate that’s relatable to the people, who can communicate conservative policies effectively and convince the electorate that he or she is the person that can be trusted to implement those policies, they will have an inevitable win.

CAN BLACKS BE RACIST?

CAN BLACKS BE RACIST?

What if it’s not injustice that has led so many blacks across America to feel disenfranchised? What if it’s judgment?

Last week on two separate occasions guest on Sean Hannity’s radio program reiterated Jesse Jackson’s decades old mantra that “blacks can’t be racist because we have no institutional power.” This may be a clandestine way to excuse blacks for destroying cities like Ferguson, MO in the name of justice for Michael Brown, but it’s hardly worth addressing seriously.

Unknown to many is the fact that blacks hold more government jobs by percentage than any other ethnicity. In an article entitled “Government Job Cuts Threaten the Black Middle Class” on npr.org, “Blacks are thirty percent more likely than non-blacks to work in the public sector, according to the University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Labor Research and Education. And “roughly 21 percent of black workers are public employees compared with 16.3 percent of non-blacks.” In other words, blacks are the institution!

We would be better off if blacks were more concerned about the injustices that occur within our own communities than looking at external factors. Government dependency has contributed to broken homes, multiple baby-daddy’s, black-on-black crime, jobless men and most importantly an abandonment of biblical values in black communities. Yet these issues are continuously ignored or excused within the community. Whitey makes for a great scapegoat but they’re not to blame for our problems today. Blacks can be racist just like anyone else if and when we allow unforgiveness to take root in our hearts. So where did this ridiculous notion that blacks can’t be racist come from?

The tipping point seems to have been when blacks decidedly chose the policies of LBJ’s War on Poverty over God’s divine plan of family. The floodgates to despotism and desperation at the expense of destiny were opened wide. Racism is a condition of the heart! Only a just and fair God can rightly examine the individual heart- not phony civil rights activists. Imagine a Black Panther standing before God on judgment day asking for his hatred towards whites and Jews to be forgiven based solely on the argument he had “no institutional power.” It’s ridiculous isn’t it? Each man will give an account to God for his own life. We mustn’t allow America’s race-baiters to control this argument!

Black female rapper Azealia Banks was quoted in an interview with Playboy magazine saying “I hate everything about this country. Like, I hate fat white Americans. All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms.” Wouldn’t it have been nice to hear black leftist demand an apology from her? If we’re to love our neighbor, shouldn’t all racially divisive language be unacceptable from anyone of any color?

When a young black female at a Brooklyn McDonald’s was beaten senselessly by at least four other black females recently, it would have been cool to see one of the dozens of black spectators step in to break up the fight. Instead, the onlookers cheered on the beating! The women brawled like men, and the men sat by like helpless women. And we have the audacity to be worried about white policemen!? Where is our humanity towards each other?

What a pleasant surprise it would have been to see a “civil rights leader” demand peace despite the perceived grievances of the black community in Ferguson, Missouri when Attorney General Eric Holder’s report concluded Officer Darren Wilson was justified in shooting Michael Brown. Instead we witnessed a black Ferguson sniper shoot two innocent police officers brought in from another department to help protect the people of the town against a potential second wave of riots. As long as blacks are allowed to hide behind terms like “institutional racism,” they’ll continue to evade any fault or guilt regarding racial issues brought on by themselves, including riots.

My eighth grade science teacher Mr. Royce addressed a mostly black and Mexican student body during an assembly after a large brawl between gang members took place at my school. In his frustration he stated, “we run to fights but walk to class.” That’s stuck with me over the years. In addition, we scream for civil rights, just don’t expect us to act civil! We demand respect just don’t ask us to respect ourselves! We vote, just don’t expect us to hold politicians accountable! We collect welfare checks, just don’t ask us to collect job applications!

Sadly, the gift of freedom given to all Americans by God will continue to allude blacks like utopia does liberals. Blacks don’t have the moral authority to determine whom can or cannot be racist. God does! Perhaps if we begin treating each other better, cops would have less need to police our communities.

 

Kudos To Indiana’s Anti-Discrimination Law

Kudos To Indiana’s Anti-Discrimination Law

Kudos To Indiana’s Anti-Discrimination Law

Governor Mike Pence and the people of Indiana deserve accolades for deciding to put “people above politics.” A blow against intolerance and discrimination from anyone makes America a better place for everyone! The left’s bigotry against people of faith is unacceptable! It’s about time that those of us on the right align with Democrat Sen. (then Rep) Chuck Schumer, deceased Sen. Ted Kennedy, former President Bill Clinton and nineteen other states to stop it!

The hoopla created by the left over RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) is so over the top I thought they may have mistook the word “Indiana” for “Iran” or “ISIS,” seeing as though those “I” words and Obama’s inability to deal with them convincingly should’ve inspired genuine outrage from his party. Leftist and Democrats have always been the “party of hate.” So why should we expect anything different than intolerance towards those of us who believe in freedom of choice, freedom of conscience, freedom of expression,  freedom of speech and freedom of religion? With the exception of the 1993 RFRA law, the left is merely being consistent!

Democrats are the party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, anti-civil rights for minorities and Planned Parenthood founder and eugenicist Margaret Sanger – who desired to wipe blacks and minorities from the face of the earth under the guise of “women’s rights.” Currently, the left supports our president who is desperate to negotiate nuclear ambitions with the Mullahs of Iran. Who happen, by the way, to despise gays, lesbians, women and other groups of faith to death. Were it not for hate, democrats are void of a party platform and ideals. That’s why they’re recycling Hillary Clinton. They had to reach back more than a quarter century in hopes of “new” ideas. Hillary is a bad candidate for 2016 and liberals know it. Absent of ideas, the only chance they stand of maintaining the White House is creating chaos in the hopes that conservatives will stay home and Millenials will come out to vote.

It’s important to understand what the LGBT community really wants. It is in fact “extra rights” not “equal rights.” Think about it. As men and women, heterosexuals and homosexuals have the same rights under God and our constitution. What they’d like are additional provisions based upon who they decide to sleep with. The only ones standing in their way of feeling “accepted” by society as a whole are people of genuine faith. Therefore, Christians must be vilified and demonized in order for them to “feel” not only accepted, but “morally accepted.” In their minds, civil rights trump religious rights, because religion hinders them from feeling moral. They’re willing to accept God on their terms. This is why the left can get away with trumpeting their faith without living it out.

What left-wing media wants is to feel significant. That’s why they don’t report the news, they make it. By framing any opposition of their own bigotry and intolerance against those who disagree with them as “anti-gay” they’ve been able to invoke sympathy in the hearts and minds of American citizens who frankly, aren’t capable of critical thinking and are ignorant of the law itself. A law which ironically originated with Democrats.

In order for gays and lesbians to feel good about their immoral behavior in the face of a holy God, they must undermine Christianity, the constitution and common sense. By using protest, leftists have effectively silenced many of us who believe in God and the rule of law. Its submission by coercion. When President Obama said he wanted to fundamentally transform America some of us took him seriously. Leftists certainly did, as they march to his orders even at the expense of their own freedoms. How better to put the constitution on defense than by questioning its moral underpinnings and many of the so called “Christians” that founded this nation?

If you’ve read RFRA you understand all it does is protect the first freedoms of American citizens from unnecessary and unreasonable government coercion. The fact that Mike Pence could not communicate this simple truth lets me know that conservatives like myself dodged a bullet, as his name was being bantered about as a possible presidential candidate for 2016. The left has made that all but impossible for him. That’s a good thing!

Republicans cannot afford to have anyone incapable of persuasively communicating our principles in a soundbite-social media age. Unfortunately for the left, but fortunate for us on the right, they’ve insured that only the best communicators of the GOP will rise to the top of the field during this election season. I’d put a great communicator against Hillary’s screeching or Elizabeth Warren’s hate mongering any day of the week.

Ted Cruz Is More Electable Than You Think

Ted Cruz Is More Electable Than You Think

WHY TED CRUZ IS MORE ELECTABLE THAN YOU THINK

Ted Cruz is the candidate most likely to take our country from where it’s arrived under the leadership of President Obama to where it should be – in the hands of “We the People.” His authenticity and consistency are just two of the advantages he has over the rest of the field-in-waiting. He says what he means, he means what he says, and Washington knows it.

Expectedly, the knives are out against Sen. Cruz, and they’re coming from both sides of the aisle. There’s no doubt in my mind however, many of those knives will be dulled once the presidential debates begin. Critics have begun questioning Cruz’s experience, intentions, judgment, likeability and overall appeal. However, if Sen. Cruz can persuade “establishment voters” of his electability, illustrate his in depth understanding of the separation of powers, communicate how silly it is to compare his tenure in the senate to that of President Obama’s, and continue to stand against the progressive left who are determined to expand the powers of the federal government (particularly the executive branch) he could be America’s last best hope.

The only thing worse than establishment politicians are establishment voters that habitually fill in the ballot for their party candidate no matter how many promises he or she breaks. Why? Because they don’t want to see “their guy” from their party lose. Unequivocally they buy into the same old establishment arguments from the media and the parties themselves. For example: “he’s unelectable,” “he’s too extreme” or “he doesn’t have enough experience.” The latter would be a valid argument if the country’s moral decadence and federal deficits hadn’t skyrocketed during the reign of experienced politicians.

I appreciate the executive experience that governors bring to a presidential race, but state politics are unlike Washington politics. Governors practice activism on behalf of their state; presidents should practice restraint for the betterment of their country. There’s something to be said about a legislator that has operated in the belly of the beast and remained true to himself and his constituents. What makes Sen. Cruz unique is that he’s well acquainted with arguing cases in front of the Supreme Court as Solicitor General. He did so nine times. He’s shown courage, conviction and efficiency working within both the judicial and legislative arms of our federal government amounting to two-thirds of our government! Why shouldn’t we believe he’s capable to lead the executive branch?

It is a fact that Obama lacked executive experience. However, it’s unfair to say his lack of experience is exclusively why America is in such disarray, and as a result, it’s why we should only elect governors to the White House. The country is in bad shape because we have a president who doesn’t believe in its founding, or our Constitution. His leanings are not partisan or political, rather they are ideological. Therefore, the decisions he’s made -and I’d argue seeming lack of decisions- are consistent with his proclivity to root against the best interest of America.

On the other side of the spectrum stands Senator Cruz who believes in American Exceptionalism and constitutional originalism. I’m confident that a man with such convictions will make for a great president.

As far as electability is concerned, it never ceases to amaze me when voters on the right agree with elitists of the GOP who listen to left-wing pundits. All it takes to make the unelectable electable is your vote companied with a little retail politics. Those of us on the right get what we deserve when we allow the leftists in both parties to pick our candidates. Being informed about the candidates is more crucial than ever. As iron sharpens iron so will the debates sharpen our candidates’ ability to frame their messages effectively. I suspect being a champion debater from Harvard, Senator Cruz will have an edge on the others in the field.

I’m eager to see Sen. Rand Paul, Governor Scott Walker, Governor Bobby Jindal, Sen. Marco Rubio and even former Sen. Rick Santorum jump into the race. But, if you were to ask me today, “who is the candidate most likely to reclaim our Judeo-Christian heritage and right the wrongs that republicans and democrats alike have levied on our nation at the expense of our constitution?” hands down my answer would be presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz.
