When the Heart is broken due to do gooders

I often get accused of being a cold and hard s.o.b. Does that really bother me? No, not at all. Am I really a cold hard s.o.b.? Depends on who you ask but I like to think that I am far more compassionate than the Liberal that says I am cold and hard.

How is that? Well for one, I don't go around giving people a fish and then expect them to learn how to fish all on their own after I leave. That is what a Liberal does.

To be fair, Liberals have good intentions. The problem is they don't think about things logically nor do they think about what their actions will do in the long run.

So, yes it is very heart warming to give a man a fish today. You know he will eat today. You know he will feel warm and fuzzy today. The Liberal will feel warm and fuzzy as well. But then the Liberal goes away the next day. The man still has a need to eat but the Liberal does not see nor does the Liberal meet that need.

They failed to give the man the fish. So the man comes back to where the Liberal was looking for his daily fish. But the Liberal is not there. So the man does not know what to do so he goes hungry for that day.

I, on the other hand, would love to give that man a fish to fill his belly today. But I think of something better. I teach that man to fish. I go with him and help him land his first fish. That night we both dine and are happy and full and warm and fuzzy all over.

The next day when I leave, the man does not go to the corner looking for a fish to be given to him so he can eat that day. He heads to the lake and puts his line in the water and catches his dinner. He dines again that night and is full and feels warm and fuzzy all over. Meanwhile across town, the man whom the Liberal fed yesterday and did not teach to feed himself is cold, hungry and alone.

I ask you who then is the cold, hard s.o.b.? Not I, for I have eliminated hunger in one man. The Liberal has perpetuated that hunger in another. To me that is cruel and unusual punishment.

What did we learn

The off season elections took place yesterday. There were some wins, some losses. What did we learn from them? Did we learn anything at all?

First and foremost, I would hope that the GOP learned a huge and valuable lesson. Although I will not hold my breath on that one. It seems the Republican Blue Bloods are quick to spin the elections almost as fast as the Democrats.

Clearly from what most of us on the right side of the political isle can see is that there was a massive shift back to the right. There was also a massive rebuke of our sitting president. After all, Obama put a lot of political clout on the line when he went to bat so heavily for Corzine of New Jersey.

The biggest lesson the GOP and the Democrats should learn comes from Upstate New York where an upstart, never before elected, Doug Hoffman almost walked away with the prize.

Hoffman did not get the nod as the GOP nominee in the special election. The GOP instead appointed a liberal Republican to run against a liberal Democrat. Hoffman, rightfully so, did not see that the voters had a choice in that match up so he put his hat in the ring.

No big money backers, no party backing. Just a grass roots effort that almost paid off. But wait, it did pay off and it paid off big time.

Hoffman not only began to raise money and get his message out even though he was not being covered at first by the Lame Stream Media, he moved up in the polls and he moved up rather fast.

So fast was his ascension that the Republican Nominee withdrew from the race at the last minute because she was polling a distant third. But then of course as we all knew, the Republican nominee, being as liberal as she is, put her support behind the Democrat. That caused the GOP to scramble to back and support, although from afar, Hoffman.

The lesson is that Hoffman was a clear conservative cut from the Reagan cloth. People began to hear his message and they began to agree with it. All the Democrats could do was pray that the clock would run out on Hoffman and try to stunt his growth by saying there was too much "outside" influence in the campaign. Which is very laughable since Hoffman did not have big money backers like the Democrat Owens did.

What the GOP should have learned is that Reagan Conservatives still live and breath and that this is what the people really want. True conservatives. In fact, it looks as though some dozen Republicans will be facing stiff competition for nominations for their seats in the 2010 mid-term elections. True Conservatives have put the GOP on notice. Shape up or they will vote you out.

That is the lesson the GOP should have learned.

What is wrong with being rich in America? Well, everything if you are not of the "right" political persuasion.

Why do I bring this up? Because over the past few days we have heard a lot about one rich man in this country being part of a group of rich people putting their hat in the ring to buy an National Football League franchise...the St Louis Rams.

The rich man? The super talker, Rush Limbaugh. Granted, Rush is an admitted Pittsburgh Steeler fan (as am I) but Rush loves the game of football. Now I must say I don't see a darn thing wrong with Rush owning in whole or in part, any sports team out there.

Even the formally portly Rev. Al Sharpton has gotten into the fray by saying the NFL should block Rush from owning a team. Al sited the fact that Rush once had an issue with drugs and that he has said racist statements on his show and in interviews.

Well, Rush has been pretty open about his addiction to prescription pain killers. And if you look at the numbers, a lot of Americans run into the same issues with these highly addictive pain medications as Rush.

Not to mention how many times in the recent past has NFL players been caught doing illegal drugs? Most of them get a slap on the wrist and a small fine and maybe a short suspension but you eventually see them back on the grid iron.

Is it because Rush is white? Not not really.

Is it because Rush is right? Well sort of.

Its because Rush is right of the political center. He is a Conservative. And the left doesn't like the fact that the biggest and richest name in talk radio is a white conservative man.

If I were Rush, I would drop the group he is affiliated with in the purchase of the team and try and purchase it directly. (I am sure Rush could come up with the financing) And then I would dare the NFL to deny him based on what a bunch of racists leftists say.

And then I would ask each and every star on the Rams, who is a millionaire then fire them. Time for some new blood in the NFL and that blood should be young men who play for the love of the game and not the millions they think they deserve.

This is one black man that says to Rush, buy the darn team.

This cannot be happening

Is it my imagination or has Obama foreshadowed how is going to rule. Yes I said rule not govern. Did he just tell everyone, including those idiots who voted for him. Yes, if you voted for Obama I just called you and idiot. That goes for friends, family and loved ones. You are all idiots.

Look at what you have given us. Don't worry, I don't just blame the Obama voters. I also blame the Republican Party who gave us McCain as a candidate and I blame the media that gave us Obama and McCain.

Now we have a government that is less open than it was under any president in recent memory. I mean, you have a new President that has issued more Executive Orders in his first week in office than any other Chief Executive in our nation's history. Yet you don't hear a word about this from the media.

President Obama also chose to sit down and talk with the Arabs before he talked to the American People. The people he is supposed to represent. The people who make up the nation he says is in the middle of the worst economy since the Great Depression. Yet he chose to talk to the Arabs first.

Not to mention, this president is still fighting everyone and anyone who wants to take a look at his real birth certificate. You have to wonder, now that he is in office, why is he still hiding it?

Then you add the fact that Obama says he will listen to all ideas on how to get the economy rolling again but he then tells the Republicans they need to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh. I guess Obama feels that Rush is a bigger threat to him than a terrorist.

Now the Democrats are trying to introduce the "fairness doctrine" again. So that means people like Rush, Sean Hannity and others with a true Conservative voice will be silenced. Is this the kind of change you voters of Obama asked for. I didn't think so.

Do you want your tax dollars funding abortions in Mexico and other countries across the globe? How about having late term abortions actually called partial birth abortions? Those are back due to an executive order from Obama.

And what about Obama not giving us any detail on the things he wants to do? We get a Press Secretary that is an idiot and cannot tell us a damn thing. And some of you lamented about Bush not telling us anything or seeming to be the height of arrogance. Yet you say nothing as Obama shows us the epitome of arrogance. He is basically telling the American people he is not responsible to us.

The point is Obama and his puppets, Palosi and Reed, are the Mt. Everest of arrogance. Have you seen the swagger when this guy walks? Have you heard that this guy has the highest approval ratings of any president in history. IN HISTORY? I think not. They have not been doing polls for our nations entire history. Not to mention approval ratings don't mean crap. Do you think Abraham Lincoln would have a 90% approval rating? No he would not. The main reason is because he is a Republican and even though he fought to keep our nation united and to insure freedom for ALL men, the media would still hate him. They would hate him because he would be a Conservative Republican. And all Conservative Republicans are evil in their book.

Well, evil does have a face and the media has put that face in the White House. That face doesn't think it has to respond to the nation it leads. That face will attempt to do what ever it wants when ever it wants. You think these recent executive orders are it? You have not seen anything yet.

I will not bow down to a King Obama. I will not shut up when an Emperor Obama tells me to. You will find the truth here. You will find that my warnings, other conservative warnings were right and on the money all along about his guy. The point is, will you and the rest of America realize their mistake before its too late?

Now, I am usually a very big optimist but people didn't care before the election so I don't think they will care after the election until it is too late. But I won't say I told you so. I will be too busy fighting to protect liberty and the Constitution of the United States of America. I just hope we can hold on until 2012 because if we make it that far, Obama will be one term if he doesn't suspend the Constitution and thus rendering himself ruler of the world. Don't laugh, he already has shown contempt for the American people what makes you think he wont think himself a king? Time to get off the sofa and get involved. You lose what you don't use and you are about to lose your liberty and freedom.

Looking upon the past is keeping us from the future

I think I am getting a little sick and tired of hearing about the glory days of the Reagan years. Yes, it is good to remember what Reagan stood for. Yes it is good to know that what Reagan did worked for our nation because it was a simple, foundational principle that he lived by.

But to wax eloquently over and over again about the Reagan era. To opine for a new Ronald is really getting on my nerves. Look the Democrats have searched and search for their new John F Kennedy.

They thought it was Clinton. But they were wrong. They searched for a new, new JFK and thought it could be Al Gore. He bombed. Then they said the guy they needed and were looking for was right under their noses all along. John Kerry. After all his name was John and they had nearly the same initials and the same full, thick head of hair. JK and JK. It was clearly meant to be. Well I guess it wasn't.

Now we are getting caught up in the same kind of ridiculous nostalgia that we used to ridicule the Democrats for. We say we want a new Reagan. Well there cannot and will not ever be another Reagan. Reagan came at a time when we needed him. OK so I am going to compare Reagan to a hero of history although he is just a legend.

King Arthur was the huge hero England needed. He came at the right time with the right ideas and the right will of mind to get things done. Reagan was the same. But his time is gone now. He is gone now. But as with both figures, their principles are still sound and solid.

So can we have another Reagan-like candidate? Well yes we can and we should. We should seek out a freedom loving, limited government thinking, Conservative principled leader who will roll up his sleeves and not bend to the mass media's will.

I hear the name Newt being bandied about much as Obama's name was bandied about a few years ago. Newt may very well have the same principles as Reagan, which is good. But is Newt really the Reagan-esque leader we are looking for?

I am not so sure. Newt has huge baggage to overcome and you can be sure that will not get a pass from the media like Obama did. You can bet the press will be all over him. From head to toe. Every little sordid detail about Newt's life will hit the air and the paper. Newt will suffer an anal exam like one has never seen before.

But there are those who believe that Newt is up for the test and that, like Reagan, his time has come. I guess you could say in that case then, that Obama is the Carter of today. In which case a similar situation is about become reality. If Obama acts like a Jimmy Carter, someone the Democrats really don't like to talk about, then yes it would all most be a shoe in for Newt.

The real issue is not if Newt is the guy. The real issue is why is Newt thought of as the guy. Its because he has those traditional conservative principles that never fail us as a nation. That is why. He is the only top name candidate with those principles that currently has expressed an interest in the job. Oh sure you have people like Ron Paul but they don't have the intestinal fortitude to be a national figure and win the White House.

That does not mean that Ron Paul cannot play a huge, important and needed roll in getting a Reagan Conservative elected. He very well can. Am I a Newt supporter? Not exactly. Not yet. Am I convinced that if we run a Reagan Conservative like Newt that we could win the White House and even Congress back? Absolutely.

Let us look and search and vet out those Reagan Conservatives. Let us bring fourth those Founding Father principles in our next candidate. Lets nurture those principles and never abandon them again. Then you will see a nation prosper and freedom will again come to parts of the world that has none and it shall be done without firing a single gun in anger. Much like Reagan defeating the Soviet Union.

Yes the 80's were the glory days of the modern Conservative movement, but it doesn't have to end there. Those days are based in principle, not fad. That means those days can be had again. And we should demand those days from our next candidate.

Operation Chaos code name Disruptor

Operation Chaos is in full swing. Yes, if you listen to Rush Limbaugh then you know all about Operation Chaos.

I would like to take it a little further though. Why? Because I believe Freedom and Liberty. I believe we do not have a viable candidate out there right now that cares as much about freedom and liberty as I do.

I also believe that Rush, although conservative, is wrong on some issues about freedom and liberty. In particular, Rush is wrong on the Patriot Act. He thinks that for the most part it is good. I disagree for the simple fact that it is not Pro-Constitution. Simple and plain.

However, Operation Chaos should be taken a step further because it should be a covert and overt action to raise up those who believe in the Constitution and takes down those who would subvert the Constitution.

Today, the major focus is on PA. Today the primary for the Democrats could take a sharp turn in either direction. It could be a major Clinton win or it could be a major Obama victory.

I understand that there are a lot of Republicans who have registered as Democrats so that they can vote in the primary in PA today. That is all well and good. In fact it is no different from when many Democrats in some states voted in the Republican primary in order to help secure McCain as the nominee.

What is fair play for one is fair play for the other. So should Republicans vote in a Democrat primary? If the rules and laws allow them to do so, then yes. If you use the rules and laws against a Liberal, they will be the first ones to stand up and shout to change those rules and laws.

Some would think this would be a reason for the Liberals to demand more laws. In truth this is what will most likely happen. However, by doing this cross voting and cross rule using you begin to force the hand of the Liberal.

They cannot stand to have their own rules and laws used against them. So they will scramble to to change them. They will call conservatives unfair. This will show their true light. But once that light is shown we cannot allow it to dim.

We have to let our government officials know that we will not stand by any more and have our Liberty and Freedom stripped from us any longer.

We must gather more people to our fold by showing how foolish those on the left really are. How they don't want to play fair or have debate on ideas. They just want to force their beliefs on each and every one of us.

Operation Chaos has to disrupt their train of thought. We have to get them so busy defending an undependable position that they do not have time nor money to make new rules and laws that limit our freedom and liberty.

Operation Chaos has to keep the Liberal on the ropes. It has to keep the Democrat Primary going for as long as possible so that the Liberals tear each other apart and so that more of their true beliefs surface. The more that happens the more people...you the voter...will see what a bunch of bunk these people are trying to feed us all. You will see that they do not believe in what they are pushing on the rest of us. It is all about feelings and making themselves feel good about doing something about nothing really.

Operation Chaos code name Disruptor is now in effect. Now is the time to make sure every single Liberal idea is brought to light. Keep pounding on the ideas they put forth and how they will restrict or eliminate your God given Freedom and Liberty.

This is an important election. We can turn the tide back towards freedom and liberty with the right people leading us in the battle. We can find and raise those who are far better than Ron Paul who will hold the Constitution in its correct regard. We can Disrupt the Liberal agenda once and for all and bring Liberty and Freedom back to the people from whom it was stolen.

Operation Chaos code name Disruptor is now in effect. Do your civic and American duty to stop those who would take your freedom and liberty.

Stop. Think. Vote!

Have we lost our way?

We have spent countless hours in America arguing about this and that in the political spectrum. It has been for the most part, a healthy discussion on what each of us believes. Or has it?

What I have noticed is that there are so many people who believe that the government should be taking care of us from the womb to the tomb. They also believe that the government should not be involved in war no matter what happens yet they will not accept the notion that an unborn child is still a child that has the right to at least be born.

They talk about a womans right to chose what to do with her body but want the government to tell us what to do in just about every other aspect of our life.

Don't get me wrong, the right side of the political isle hasn't been too much better than the left. They often demand that (and I am a Christian Reverend so take that into consideration) Christianity be the national religion. This when Christ Himself said He would force no man to come unto Him. The Christian Right often degrades into hateful groups that denigrate others when they know Christ would have had no part in what they are doing. Don't believe me, then read the bible again and tell me where Christ would have said it was OK to people names and spew hate and vile at them.

As a nation I believe we have lost our way. And it is not all the fault of politicians. We, the people are to blame. Many of us have never read the Constitution let alone know what it really says. (Some polls have said as many as 70% of Americans believe the statement "Separation of Church and State" is IN the Constitution...it is NOT)

The Constitution simply put says that you are the master of your own life, not the government. It is governments job to keep order and to protect you from dangers outside our borders so that you may live to create the life you want within our borders. The Founding Fathers were clear on their intent. You, American man and woman, have the God given right to live your life in freedom and peace free from government interference.

Sadly so many of you want government to be in your car, living room, office and bedroom. You want the government to take care of your kids and your health. You want the government to tell you and your neighbor how to get along instead of talking to each other to find a common ground.

This does not mean we cannot find our way back. We still have a chance. We can embrace true freedom again. We can take responsibility for our lives again. We can vote for those people who believe that the American people are the best judge of how to live their own lives.

We have so much opportunity in our land. This is why so many others in the world risk so much to get here. They see and understand the opportunity we have. They know that if they could only get here that their lives would be so much more enriched. They are willing to risk it all. Some die trying to get here because that is how much our nation means to them.

Yet we who are born here tend to dump on it and demand that the government take care of us. It is sad indeed when someone born outside of our borders has a greater chance of becoming a millionaire here than the person who is born here.

The immigrant has not lost their way. They understand what America stands for and means far better than many of us who are native. The immigrant has not lost their way. We can look to their ambitions, their dreams to shine light on our own. We have hope in ourselves not in government. No one man or party can bring you hope. You bring hope into your life by your actions not by what someone else can do for you.

Yes, we have lost our way, but we are not lost. We can still see the right path if we would only have the guts to put our feet back on that path.

We must become a nation of leaders again. We need to drop this cloak of followers. God did not call on us to be followers of anyone but Him. We must be leaders one and all. Leaders do not depend on another for their very existence.

We have to lead in our homes, in our schools, our churches, public and private organizations, etc, etc. We have to drop this idea that the government owes us everything. The point is, WE are the government so we can only give to ourselves what we give to the government.

Our nation was not founded by weakness. It was founded on strength and principle. We can find that principle and that strength again. In fact we need to demand it.

Government can not give you anything in which you have not given to it. And as history has proven, government cannot do something better for you that you can do for yourself. The Constitution was clear on that. We the people are responsible for our own actions, our own lives. We cannot give government the power to live our lives for us. It will be a total disaster if we give it that kind of power and none of us will ever be happy.

Stop. Think. Vote.

April Fools Jokes That Are Played on You and Me

Today is April 1st. Tradition says it is April Fools Day. This day has, what seems to be, a rather rich heritage. Dating all the way back to 1582 at a time when the Calendar was changed to what we are familiar with today. This change came about because of an order given by Pope Gregory XIII that moved New Years from the end of March to January 1.

Although France seems to be the first country to adopt the new calendar it really does not explain how the tradition spread to other European nations.

Well here we are today, in modern times, still celebrating a day that originated from people who were too stubborn to change. Back in the day, as the modern colloquialism goes, people who did not change because they refused to, were send fake invitations to New Years Day parties on April 1st. These people seemed to fall for it time and time again.

Flash forward to today. We still have a bunch of people who allow themselves to be tricked time and time again. But instead of it dealing with changes in the calendar, it is in the political landscape. These people, most of them, seem to allow themselves to be tricked by those who keep telling them over and over again that they care.

They feed them lines about caring and not leaving anyone behind. Does the “No child left behind” law ring a bell? How about the “War on Poverty”? Well now you have some politicians talking about saving the American Dream.

That dream is home ownership. Yes, they are about to play a huge prank on all of us yet again. They, the Liberals and even some who call themselves Conservatives, wish to step in and do something about the very small percentage of us who are going to lose our home to foreclosure.

They, the politicians, think it is governments responsibility to “save” the American Dream for those who over extended themselves and made financial mistakes. I have to say, these people made their bed now they must sleep in it.

Sure, some banks and lending programs enticed a few to get home loans who would not or should not get loans under normal circumstances but it is not the governments job to bail them out when they make a mistake.

Remember, when ever the government bails anyone out, they do it with our money. It's called taxes. Not to mention, the government then wants to change rules or administer stronger regulations so people don't get burned again. Well, this only limits your choices and it limits competition.

But the mortgage mess is not the only place where the government wants to regulate and limit your choices. They do it to us every single day. They want to take over your health care. They want to limit your choices on drugs and over the counter medications. They want to limit your ability to drive the car you want to drive. They want to eliminate your choice for energy. They want to limit your right to freedom of speech and the right to bear and own fire arms.

Are you still laughing? This is serious. We cannot allow this to continue or the joke will be on us. That is you, me and our children and grandchildren. They will not grow up in a free nation. They will grow up in a nation that is devoid of freedom and devoid of the ability to make choices for their own lives.

Now seriously, is that the kind of joke you want to have played on you this elections season?

No More Reagans and Its McCains Fault

There is the fascination with one of our presidents. I an not talking about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or even John F Kennedy. I am talking about Ronald Reagan. The great communicator. There is a healthy and unhealthy fascination with this former president. In fact, Reagan is quickly becoming an American legend much like JFK.

The difference is that Reagan actually lived out his full term as president where JFK had his term cut short by a few bullets form assassins rifles. (Yes I said assassins as in plural. But that is a topic for another post at another time.) We got to see Reagan perform through out his presidency so there is no speculation as to what he would have done. We know what he did. We know what he tried to do.

The fascination comes because Republicans, I should say true conservative Republicans, are looking for a new Ronald Reagan. That is not to say they are looking for a clone. We all know Reagan was a once in a lifetime person. He had character that cannot be duplicated. What conservatives are looking for is someone who has the same ideals and beliefs that Reagan held. Someone who has those basic core principles of true conservatives that can break the ranks and lead out in the open.

But conservatives lament the fact that even though there are many who would qualify, they will not take the torch and run with it all the way to the White House. In fact many of them won't even take the torch to Governors Mansions in their own states. They wont run that torch to the State Houses of their home states. They even shy away from bringing that torch to their mayors offices or city or town councils.

Why is this. Ann Coulter made a point in her column “How to keep Reagan out of office.” There is a link to this column below. She correctly identified the major reasons why a Reagan like candidate is so hard to find. We can thank our heir apparent for the Republican side for that.

McCain/Fiengold but a big cab bash on free speech in this country. What it has done is made it nearly impossible for an upstart to make a serious run for any major public office. It severely reduces the ability of candidates who have not been in the seats of power already to raise capitol to run against incumbents at nearly all levels of government.

We know it takes millions of dollars to launch a state or federal campaign for office. But unless you are a self made millionaire or billionaire, you have no chance at raising money to battle the entrenched machine of the incumbent. Even if there is a vacated seat, you still must have the cash in order to fend off the well financed and well place candidate from the other party.

You have to have a name first. Well the best way to make a name for oneself is to run for office at lower levels of government and work your way up. But wait, you can't just run for an office of worth. You have to grab the attention of your local or state party. Then they have to be willing to back you. But it takes time because of the limits placed on us by campaign finance reform. This leaves the job of bringing those with promise out into the open to the press.

The media has more power than ever in deciding who our candidates are going to be because of the new laws on the books. These laws make it very hard for an individual to promote any candidate. But if they are a part of the so-called legitimate press and media, then they can talk up or talk down anybody they want as often as they want.

That is how we got McCain as our candidate of choice instead of a true Reaganite. There are only two ways to stop this. One is since we have the Internet, we can spread the news of promising people and get them to run for office and support them. Ron Paul has proven this type of support can be had. This type of grass roots can be done. Although Ron Paul was not the conservative choice, he did prove that a new conservative Reagan could garner a strong base of support in a short period of time. Plus, because of the Internet, each and everyone of us could in fact become a part of the media by launching on line publications with news and commentary. In short, each of us can become our own media business thus nullifying the McCain/Fiengold bill.

Second, and best of all, is to stick to the letter and spirit of the constitution of these United States and have this stupid law repealed and pass a law that would prevent future laws of this ilk from being passed ever again.

The people of this nation, with the Internet, opportunity to grab their country back. We have the ability to effect change at the grass roots level by circumventing the current process. We have the ability to show that the main stream media does not have a monopoly on news of the day nor do they get to chose who we, as Americans, have as choices for high or low public office.

It is time we take back our elections process from the incumbents, the major media (which has a very liberal bias) and others in power who wish to limit your choice and access. I say each and every one of you should start your own media company on line and begin to broadcast the truth. And that will bring out the talent that we need to turn our country around and bring back our Constitution as our Founding Fathers wrote it.

Romney endorses McCain no Suprise

Romney endorses McCain for President. Is this a surprise to anyone? It is not a surprise at all. Who else was Romney going to endorse? Did anyone think he would endorse the man who hurt him so badly? I am talking about Huckabee, of course.

There is no love lost between Huckabee and Romney. In fact if Huckabee were the leading candidate instead of McCain, Romney would still endorse McCain.

Of course Romney would not and will not support either of the Democrat candidates and he will not endorse the like of Ron Paul. So this thing about Mitt giving his backing to Mac is no surprise. Plus Romney is truly about making sure that the Republicans unite and push forth a more conservative agenda.

This has happened a little in this campaign. McCain has changed (at least he says he has) some of his positions on things like taxes and immigration. I think you will see McCain move even more to the right in order to please the conservative base and to get the Huckabee camp on his side. Will McCain truly believe in his move to the right?

That is something that will have to be seen but make no mistake, if elected, McCain will not be able to easily get away with not living up to his conservative promises. But for now, it's McCain who will have the nod to run for the Republicans. Having Romney's endorsement will help him but McCain will still have to convince Romney's conservative voters that he can be their candidate for conservative change.

So what now?

Romney is out. He bowed out with a lot of grace and style. I must admit I am a little disappointed in his withdrawal but it was no surprise. You see, in my view, Romney is just showing his true side. He is a guy of integrity and grace and style.

Some people say he is weak. If you saw his fight with Ted Kennedy back in 1992 when he ran for US Senate in MA, then you know this guy is not a coward. It was a nasty and hard fought campaign.

His run for the Governors office was not a pick-nick either. This guy is down for the fight when he wants to be. This guy does not back away from a challenge. But this time I think he was genuine when he said that it (this race) was not about him. He said it was about the GOP and the future of our nation.

I cannot say the same for Huckabee. This guy knows he cannot win the nomination but he stayed in simply because he knew he could hurt Romney and he did. So you could say Romney was not strong enough to fight the tag team of McCain/Huckabee.

No matter. Romney reminds us that we, as a party, need to put our foot forward and remember our conservative roots. We have to be united in order to beat back the liberals run for the White House.

I will be watching the Democrat race with much anticipation. In any even, history will be made this year. It would be ashame to miss history in the making.

By the way, even though I would not vote for him, I am pulling for Obama. Not because he is a black man, but because I can't stand Hillary. Its just that simple.

So that is what is next, watching the Democrats. They are a sneaky bunch.
