Shakeout 2016

Conservatives are to blame for everything that is going wrong in America.

As the 2016 election moves to the Nov. 8 crescendo, arrows of personal opinion from Republicans and Conservatives are flying around everywhere. It is hard to avoid getting hit a couple of times each day from some people with whom I disagree for various reasons. If someone has a crystal ball that will show us who the ‘real’ conservatives are, who the ‘true’ conservatives are, and who the ‘really true’ conservatives are, I would like to take a look into that ball. I have been trying to unconfuse myself over the past few weeks with limited success.

How should I identify myself? Anything you say immediately puts you into some pigeonhole among a large set of holes. Which of the public conservatives are ‘right,’ and which are ‘not right’? It is a puzzler that has many people irritated. What evidence can be marshaled from past Republican actions, past Conservative actions, and past Rat actions, as well as future projections of things that are already set in motion and other ‘unknowns’?

Now, near the end of the election campaign, with Trump seeming to be lagging, some who are not Trump fans are getting more direct with their dismissal of Trump and are providing a certain I-told-you-so campaign autopsy report about what should happen to the Republican Party. While reading such comments, I cannot avoid a small voice saying: BUT WHAT IF TRUMP WINS?

I am a lifelong—DNA—conservative, beginning with the Nixon-Kennedy debate where, as a 10-year-old kid lying on the living room floor, I watched in amazement as the ‘ghost’ of Nixon walked onto the peculiar TV stage in a gray suit that matched exactly the gray panels set up on the stage. I studied Howard K. Smith’s smirk and pointed at the screen, saying, “Hey, there is something fishy going on.” And the fishy stuff is still going on today, with different names but the same criminal rat mob trying to kill off America.

I am a member of the New York State Conservative Party—I don’t know why. It seems to be a hapless, ineffective organization in a country where conservative positions on issues get agreement from large majorities of people regularly.

Conclusion #1: We need a National Conservative Party. The Republican Party is a dinosaur. It is a shaky old gas buggy that needs to be towed away or put in an antique political jalopy museum.

I am an unapologetic Christian—Protestant—who believes the truth that Christianity has been a tremendous improvement for humanity and that it is now being attacked by vile people who are getting excited about the pestilence of inferiority that has broken out in Western society. I think that Christian teaching, understanding, and virtues that call us to personal commitment to practice and advance goodness are built into the successful working of American society. The current malignant attacks against it are an exercise in malicious pseudo-intellect.

I am a fiscal conservative as well as a social conservative. Let businesses go ahead and produce, invent, and accomplish what they can—if there are ‘problem people’—thieves—in business, conservatives need to get explicit and say, “throw them in jail.” The Wall Street bogus mortgage bundling racket is a prime opportunity for us to take those involved and slam them away in prison. So why hasn’t it happened?I think economics, finance, taxation, and government spending are not rocket science and can be managed successfully and prosperously with straightforward—honest—common sense and effort.

Another Conclusion: We need to get rid of, OUTLAW, all taxes on business, any business. Let We the People find out how much wonderful government really costs! The grotesque contrivance of regulation, taxation, big business–D.C. collusion looks a lot like a hostile attack on our economy and country. By the way, exactly where have our Republican House and Senate ‘inside guys’ been all these years as our nation is being fitted for an economic straitjacket?

I think that in our American society the ‘social’ issues are more important than the ‘fiscal’ issues which means that they are VERY important because the fiscal issues are seriously important. What is the point of making lots of money in an open sewer society? The pseudo-intelligentsia who volunteer to ‘direct’ social behavior for the deplorables are careful to avoid admitting that the wretched, vile entertainment society that is inflicted on us every day is most damaging to children, and minorities, who are being set up for wasted lives in a crass and grimey Garbageland. Another Conclusion – We need an Independent School Law – federal civil rights legislation that gives parents the Civil Right to send their children and their MONEY to whatever school they want. Everyone should agree to support education – a set of rules can be written out for all possibilities, but anyone who claims to have conservative DNA should take their children out of government schools tomorrow – and refuse to pay public school taxes. Afraid? That is exactly the point of ‘public’ schools. They are a totalitarian construct that should never have been allowed in the first place – and people call this a free country.

I am an ICBM conservative. I do not quite get what the ‘stay out of foreign affairs’ types are trying to prove. Either we sit on our front porches and watch various thug nations bring destruction, death and ruin to smaller countries, or we let them know that we are prepared to make lightning happen in places that need to be zapped. We are not living in a Donna Reed Show extended episode. What we need are people who know how to be Intelligent Winners. The thugs see dithering as weakness, and blatant determination as a sit down and shut up signal.

While Hilary and her viper gang have been waging their usual poison America campaign we have seen the onset of a particular group – the Never Trump people – who are aghast that the Republican candidate (who was allowed into the Republican primaries rather than be told to go right ahead and run with your own money for President) is some combination of crass, odious, goofy and menacing. I am not quite sure where their arch disdain comes from. The stress test of the failure of the Imposter in the White House, our grinding economic dysfunction, the multiplying international danger signals and the Hilary nightmare have brought out attitudes, opinions and positions in Republicans and Conservatives that have become set in different tracks that will NOT be rejoined. The downward drift of American society and government over the last few years was always going to get to a Break Point and as we get closer to it people are separating into sharp opinion groups. We are faced immediately with the disaster of a rotten socialist and her criminal gang being allowed back into Our White House. If that happens America will take a great drop down to some kind of Eastern European criminal-gang government from the 50’s and 60’s. If that is what the Never Trump people want, if they are okay with that then they should stand up in public and say so out loud. Donald Trump may be self-important and amateurish at the game of politics, but he may turn out to be a hard working, get things done President. Further, if we have survived eight years of the Imposter it is not asking too much to give Trump a whirl for four years. I suspect that either of the candidates will be a one term President. The job that turns fifty something guys into old geezers will probably kill Hilary and leave Trump begging for a vacation.

I want to make a sharp point about the Never Trump crowd. When you are playing for a sports team you agree to the requirements the team sets for success. You must work on skill improvement, learn the play book, learn from mistakes you make so you can always get better and contribute to Winning. But there is ONE thing you never do- YOU NEVER PLAY FOR THE OTHER TEAM. No sir, no way, no how. It is amazing to observe the ongoing spectacle of the Never Trump people and their precious disdain for the gilded ogre. Our country has suffered serious damage over the last few years and, like the Titanic it may seem unsinkable, but enough damage will lead to a catastrophic breakdown. There are people in the public commentary world who are egging on disaster, in that happy American place where Great Big America can be abused endlessly because it will never sink. As a conservative I ask – Why don’t we take the good we have built up thus far and set our sights on future accomplishments? What is the point of spit balling Trump? How do we profit from dribbling bile about him here, there and everywhere? What is accomplished by incessant ‘Trump’s going to lose’ cracks? There seems to be a pile on contest to see who can get in the cheapest shot. For my money Paul Ryan has accomplished the worst feat of being either America’s smallest weasel or biggest weasel. He apparently has taken a part time job as an errand boy for the precious Republicrats who are appalled at the candidate that THEY ENABLED. They could easily (intelligently) have told Trump to go right ahead and run for President – as an Independent. I think Trump would have made his point and ended his campaign in the spring.

Back to our regularly scheduled program. So, what is a real conservative? Who has the true understanding of conservative? To get at it I should first say that I don’t think – conservative – is the best word to identify what we are. It is used with regard to older gentlefolk who want to keep the familiar ways because they remember them as good and old, time tested. We all remember good things from past days and conserving them is right. But what is important is the GOOD, not the old. Conservatives have no problem with new things that are good, but they do not jump at every new shiny object on account of the newness. Conservatives are people who have an innate appreciation for or ‘tuning in’ to Goodness. Our concern is not so much with this good thing or that good incident but for Good essentially – a personal conviction of Good for Goodness sake. This character trait has one problem associated with it – it is not overt – conservatives can have likes and dislikes for various things, but that personal appreciation of Goodness for its own sake is Truth for them. This trait is directed or focused towards Goodness, which gets conservatives criticized as being narrow – they can put aside various minor incidental likes but that characteristic ‘tuning in’ to Goodness for its own sake is always there. It also gets conservatives into a mild mannered BAD habit of being okay with themselves and their home place, and supposing that the world and its problems and our country and its problems will work out okay in the long run. Well, the long run is in the rear view mirror and things have not worked out – successes that we should have seen never happened, and disasters that should never have happened are coming at us from every angle. Our mild manner, don’t get all bent out of shape about politics and government affairs attitude is the MAIN CAUSE of our troubles. We have spent decades watching our country being steadily dragged down with conservatives muttering about ‘doing something’ while not actually doing much themselves to organize an effective, articulate alternative to the D.C. money mob. We are apolitical and have outsourced our citizenship responsibilities to – Republicans, who after so many years of flopping and fumbling have proven themselves unworthy of the trust that conservatives give them every two years with their votes. We are getting near to a Break Point where the nation is heading toward serious trouble both internationally and at home, socially and politically. The question is – will conservatives make the decision to step forward and take up their responsibility blatantly and effectively? At some point the truth becomes unavoidable – either we take action to stop the destruction of Our Country or we allow a political mafia to gain control and ruin America – very probably in a way that it can never be recovered. Some Thing other than America will rear its ugly head after the Rats prove that they are as utterly incompetent and vile as their buddies in Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, China, Russia, etc.

Now, the interaction between that personal character trait of Goodness, and convictions about Goodness, and our practical actions in daily life make for a difficult assessment of how conservative types can be identified and placed in a range, like frequencies on a radio dial. There are venerable golden oldy conservatives who remember a time when good manners actually were in style; mom, dad and the kids conservatives, hometown conservatives, patriotic flag-waving conservatives, strong defense conservatives, honest dollar for an honest day’s work conservatives, law and order conservatives, righteous religious conservatives ( Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Shinto etc. ) , old scholar and young scholar respect for knowledge conservatives, old-country heritage conservatives, farming conservatives, sole proprietor conservatives, and corporate conservatives. And also taxpaying conservatives – can’t forget them.

For all of us our innate sense of Goodness is always the core of our being and it is present in everything we do. It separates us from those who are not conservative (those who are not attuned to goodness) which is the cause of the contest for supremacy in our society that has been building for decades, a contest that must have a resolution – a winning side and a losing side. The contest will not be resolved with any peaceful co-existence palaver as recent events have ‘demonstrated’. At the same time conservatives are being sorted into particular groups in a range of goodness types. The event that is now unfolding is the differentiation by declaration of conservatives who take a stand for GOOD personally and then practically, and Repulicrats who mouth allegiance to some sort of ‘whatever okayness’ for the sake of getting themselves in on the D.C. cash grab (and also local and state cash grabs). By their actions they show that to them America is just a convenient place to set up money grabbing rackets. If some FLAG or other is flying over the Capitol in a few years – it is nothing to them – AS LONG AS THEY ARE SET UP TO HAVE MONEY ROLLING INTO THEIR POCKETS. They play along with the Old Glory, 4th of July, One Nation Under God stuff as long as it keeps them at the front of the line in the government money game. They roll right along with the Rats who are in government to help themselves to taxpayers’ money and to force their opinions on the conservative majority, people who want nothing to do with their wretched opinions. Their Republicrat helpers have zero patience or respect for the flyover deplorables and tax paying rubes – who are dumb enough to send their money to D.C. and state politicians.

But the relentless advance of Goodness by conservatives in pushing for honesty, integrity, intelligence, competence, righteousness, decency, responsibility, self- respect, and respect for law, for citizens and for citizenship and for our heritage has brought out a differentiation between Conservatives and Republicans. It is a difference between those who keep their principles in their hearts and others who keep their principles in the bank. It cannot be made to go away. The sooner conservatives admit – Out Loud – to themselves that the Republican Party is a goner, worse than useless, the sooner we who believe in the goodness of America in our hearts can get busy building ourselves a National Conservative Party – or just forget about that thing called America. We are up against a gang of Rats who hate American goodness, success, accomplishment and all the good we have made possible in the world. There is no time and no place for half-baked politics, government, parties or people.

The realpolitik of our immediate situation demands a President who will be rock solid for Our Country and thanks to the goofball leaders of the Republican Party, and socialist media connivance, we have had Donald Trump ushered through the primaries to Party nominee. We are ‘blessed’ with Trump so we must GO with Trump. The Never Trump group who are playing for the OTHER TEAM are deluded if they think a Hilary presidency will be OK, or manageable, or bearable. It will be an all out viper attack on America – they can barely contain their reptile excitement at the chance to take down America once and for all. If the Trump haters are so very unhappy about Trump – they might contribute to the national campaign discussion by giving Trump and company cogent, effective advice about explaining and promoting policies for the serious issues that must be dealt with starting in Jan. 2017. As I read their Trump bashing slights I keep hearing that voice saying “But what if Trump wins”. In spite of the amateur hour campaign that the Trump group has been running he may very well win the election – one unquantifiable to consider – People DO NOT like Hilary Clinton. I think when this is over on Nov. 9 that will emerge as the factor that people did not properly weight in their electoral estimates.

But the Shakeout has begun – there is no turning back. The incessant nastiness of the Never Trump crowd has put the whole situation into a – we’ll settle this in the parking lot – mode. There is no forgiveness for what they are doing. The die is cast. They have made their choice – the D.C. cash grab racketeers, and their sneering contempt for get up in the morning and go to work Americans, the suckers who vote for Republicans every two years -BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A PARTY OF THEIR OWN. That is precisely what is wrong with our country.

Conservatives are to blame for everything that is going wrong in America. They are decent, honorable people who don’t get all obsessed with politics and WILL NOT SEE that if we have a nation, then we are going to have government with legislatures – local, state and federal. The seats in those legislatures will have rear ends sitting on them and conservatives must face up to it and admit that if we want things to GO RIGHT then we must get organized, pitch in and spend the time, money and effort necessary to build a National Conservative Party that will put conservative rear ends on every seat in every legislature in the country. As long as mild mannered conservatives sit by and stay inactive the Rats and Republicrats know that they can mess up America as much as they want. The outcome of this election will put conservatives on the spot, maybe the last chance before a dark time descends on America. Ask people from Eastern Europe to give you an idea of what is about to happen to us. It is ugly and it will be a degrading defeat for humanity – exactly what the Rats are working for. I must say the prospect of this makes my stomach turn when I read the Never Trump comments. But they have their precious sensibilities to coddle. In England they call it tommyrot.

If Hilary wins we are in a definitized situation where we can immediately cast away the Republican failure party and take up the hard work of building a Conservative party. With clear vision and understanding we can at least start construction with a new blueprint and a get it done NOW attitude. If Trump wins conservatives will be faced with that siren song of electoral victory – well we can just let things go again for four more years and maybe things will get better or at least not much worse. If Trump is in the White House – he will get things done. But the Republicans will still be around after Trump is gone and we will be right back in the old mess. We can use the time that Trump is President to build up a Party for Conservatives who know what they are and why they are. Talk is Cheap. Constructing a political party is not cheap. That is one of the main causes of our current dire situation – the people who run the two big political parties know that it takes lots of hard work from lots of people to get anything accomplished. They can be fairly certain that no new political party will emerge because they have the evidence of a century of conservative complaisance with relentless D.C. failures. There are currently two conservative parties in the U.S. – the CPUSA and the ACP. Neither are taken too seriously because – well, because they have no influence or connections in the money game. Conservatives might ponder that for a moment. We need to see a national meeting of Party minded people who will do the hard work of establishing a viable organization. I think we must admit that we just cannot continue on the road we are being driven down by the D.C. ratmob – that road leads only to failure and eventually disaster. Surely it must occur to most people in this country that it is entirely possible for us to be living in a country that is prosperous, happy, busy with succeeding and advancing, financially sound, improving steadily everywhere with people who are agreeable to contributing to communities and a nation that presents to the world the spectacle of regular folks accomplishing government that is sane, practical and effective.

October 25 is the anniversary of a famous battle in British history. Reading through Shakespeare’s play Henry V, the description of the day and night preceding the battle has a familiar ring with our own situation – the French officers filled with boasting confidence while the English soldiers, officers and King were summoning up soggy gumption for an impossible task ahead. Conservatives might read over the fourth act and get some encouragement from that. To paraphrase King Henry’s exhortation to his army, nobles and commoners – Let those who are offended by our candidate, those who are okay with a woman who happens to be a rotten pest, those who are shaky about the electoral outcome DEPART. We conservatives have no use for them. Those who stand in the front line of this battle will live to recall years from now our own St. Crispin’s Day. We will remember what we accomplished for America and recite the names Trump, Cruz, Carson, Perry, Rubio, Walker and many others who stepped forward to fight against the mange of totalitarianism. This day’s anniversaries will never pass by without future generations hearing how we patient, honorable and wise Conservatives fought for the GOOD of our country. Those who sat by and watched will hold their citizenships cheap whenever anyone who stepped forward into the front line speaks of what we achieved this election day.

I listen to all the news and talk about the election, about the LOSER and his sorry menagerie of loser supporters and as I listen I cannot avoid that voice saying – What if Trump Wins. We are thrown into the breach in this political struggle and the outcome is dicey. The plain truth is – we conservatives will only be in a dominating political position when we decide to get ourselves a genuine conservative party, a party restricted to ‘real’ conservatives – not a Big Tent party but an Excellent Tent party. We need to stop griping, tell the Republicrats to scram and get busy getting conservative ideas across to voters so that we can get conservative rear ends on legislature seats everywhere in this country. We do not need a Republican cucumber sandwich club to assist the Rats in destroying America, while enjoying every opportunity to deplore and slight the hometown folks who make this country go. We do not need a party with marshmallow promises, but a party with sharp steel convictions. We need a national Conservative Party made up of people who can say,

For Goodness, For America, We are Champions, We Intend Victory.

Statement

‘Conservatives’ are people who have as their primary character a concern for goodness, for its own sake.

We know immediately that concern for goodness includes a requirement to be actively committed to goodness, personally as well as for the people and world around us.

We realize that we have responsibility to understand goodness, and that we participate in a reality of Goodness.

It is this personal concern for goodness for its own sake that makes ‘conservatives’ different from people whose approach to living and being is – different. The interest we have in specific issues and situations we encounter has that basic concern for goodness as its source.
‘Conservatives’ have a First Responsibility – that is to understand that advancing good in oneself is the principle that guides all our actions at home, in our communities and in the world. We cannot be spectators in a Reality, and life, of Goodness.

We know that all people have a complex set of character traits which can cause confusion about what good is and who the good are, but ‘conservatives’ consider honesty to be one feature of goodness and that honesty applies to our understanding the differences among people.

We can see plainly the difference between good and bad, and understand that good should be promoted deliberately and bad should be opposed directly. We have this brought to us as children, while learning from our parents and grandparents, in church, at school, from people in our community, and as we learn about history and our heritage.

We cannot dissemble about bad behavior or keep a handy list of excuses for failure to be Good and to do good. We cannot agree with the careless attitude that since society has been improved to a comfortable point we can let people slide and allow behavior that is inferior.
Nor can we accept the criticism that ‘conservatives’ are not perfect – they have faults enough so, we must tolerate offensive and abusive behavior in others. We understand that it is not asking too much of people to commit themselves to a plan of steady, incremental improvement – which all evidence shows is the way most people behave most of the time.

Our relationship to people who are not Goodness-oriented involves establishing the superior nature of Good behavior and explaining the reason for controlling bad behavior. Our nature of Goodness provides boundaries for behavior and action – which allows plenty of space for most people to get with the program of Goodness, but does not allow bad behavior or intentions to have free action. Within the boundaries that the rule of Goodness provides there is plenty of space for varying personalities but it excludes behavior that we know is wrong. We know that every person on this planet employs the rule of Goodness every day in all kinds of situations.

The issues that we deal with in our society are most effectively dealt with by starting with the original principle – Good people want Goodness to happen.

‘Conservatives’ are responsible for helping people to admit this truth to themselves and to co-operate in establishing social rules and norms that make clear to everyone why the ‘conservative’ approach is correct for all.

‘Conservatives’ cannot dither or be hesitant about taking the public and political action needed to create a conservative society. If Goodness is worth doing, it is worth doing – EXCELLENT.

We look forward to happy years for our country with ‘conservatives’ being deliberate and forthright about knowing what is Good and making it happen. Our approach to government is plain – the more people can do for themselves the less they need government ‘help’. We establish limited government by promoting competent citizens who can succeed very well at living a life of Goodness and supervise themselves.

We have the evidence of recent decades as proof that our attitude and our approach to public affairs are right, and that the attitudes and connivance of totalitarians is wrong in our country and every other country.

We cannot sit by and grumble about trouble that is dumped on us by totalitarians and Republicrats. We must take action – First by doing the work of understanding what ‘conservative’ character and principles are, and then engaging in civic action to elect legislators who will establish a government that is committed to ‘conservative’ principles. EAP

Conservative Principles Defeat Totalitarian Mendacity

During the past four years, after the arrival of the ‘greatest fraud operation in history’ President, a steadily growing sense of unease and foreboding about the future of our country is now palpable throughout the nation. The staggering loopy grifter, who got a job in Washington ! , is now underwater with just about everyone on the planet and defacto unemployed. While the independents and rats who voted for him try to make him – go away – we the sane, conservatives and Republicans, must suffer through the daily grind of D.C. Ratmob criminal gang hate-America policy failure, financial ruin and spit-in-your face contempt for the rule of law. The relentless poisonous connivance of the Rats and Republicrats in D.C. drives us ever closer to the destruction of America while the ‘smartest guy in the room gang’ tell us we must continue on the path to disaster or the FASCISTS will take over America. The daily feeding of propaganda news from the Rat media can’t cover up the colossal mendacity of the Rats who control D.C. Everyone knows that serious problems are being aimed at us in increasing number and ugliness and we conservatives have been put on guard – unamused and ready to fight.

Political participation in this country is divided into three main groups – Conservatives, Independents and Socialists (Totalitarians). The good news is that conservatives are not to blame for the mess we are in. The bad news is they ARE to blame for being spectators too often and not standing up to their responsibility to direct the governing of our country – with their votes. Over the past century one political gang – Socialists – have worked every day to destroy Our Country, while another group Republicrats have played along unperturbed by the damage done to America as long as they can manipulate government as a cash grabbing, self-help racket. Conservatives are slowly waking up to the realization that WE MUST FIND A BETTER WAY or Our Country will be taken to a nightmare place that other people in this world have been to and now live in with terrible regrets. An idea is being birthed in this country, slowly and agonizingly, that we need to have a political party of REAL conservatives – a party that is dedicated to establishing government that works on Conservative Principles. Before we can do that we need to sort out the people who make up the three groups, and then work out a list of Principles on which a Conservative Party can be built.

First we need to pay attention to the three important numbers that matter in American politics ….. 40 % 36 % 21%
Those are a close estimate of the number of people who say they are Independent, Conservative or Socialist. It is not too difficult to see that if you split the independents in half and add those two halves to the conservatives and socialists – Republicans must be winning every election. They obviously have complete control of Congress, the Presidency, 40 or more state legislatures and a big majority of local offices. Obviously. These facts are a blatant rebuke to conservatives who moan about the state of Our Country and wish somebody would do something about it. I wonder where those conservatives are on election day.

Why are we in an endless grind of crisis after mess after fiasco? Why isn’t Our Country happy, doing great, prosperous, confident, at ease with accomplishment and success, looking forward to to even better days ahead? The unhappy truth is that conservatives, for decades, have outsourced their responsibility to manage the governing of our towns, states and nation to a group of people who make conservative noises to get elected, then use their positions to fix things up for their business buddies who see government as an opportunity to gain financial advantage. The REPUBLICRAT Party is a worn-out failure. They have had their day and it is long past time to move that party aside and get conservatives to step forward to the duties of citizenship. We cannot go on with one political gang maniacally obsessed with dragging Our Country down to wretched disaster while the other political party minces and tiptoes, stumbles and fumbles letting the Rats get away with every craven scam they dream up. Conservatives need to go through the process of examining who they are, why they are different from other political types and how they intend to demonstrate – superiority – to an America under mortal threat from an ilk whose big plan for America is – NOTHING.

The three groups we need to examine can each be divided into two parts. Conservatives are chronically having a dispute between Republicrats, those people who use the Republican Party as a vehicle to play along with socialists in Big Government D.C., and honest conservatives who are trying to bring hometown fiscal sanity and moral sanity to D.C. as they try to cut the political crap and get a Party that is definitely Conservative. Independents are divided into those who are politically aware, people who brag about ‘not belonging to any political party’ , ‘we do our homework and vote for the candidate not the label’ and those independents who vote for whoever is up on the popularity charts and talk about ‘throwing them all out’ – easy marks for socialist propaganda.

The third group – socialists aka liberals, democrats, regressives (don’t say totalitarian) can be divided into two parts – one the hard core Stalinist, Nazi, Maoist, ‘I want to be like Che’ rats who work the levers behind the curtain to direct the opinion enforcement, along with the pest wannabes who provide the cockroach chorus of airhead commentary for the true believers. The other part, the little believers, strain at their leashes until it is time to run to the polls again to vote against America the Beautiful and to vote for any candidate who promises to help drag America down to disaster.

The trouble Our Country has been having for the last several decades continues because conservatives will not get organized into a national party with the explicit principles and policies that will stand against, and obliterate socialism. The evidence piles up year after year that socialism is a monstrosity that must be eradicated, and that conservatism provides a proven path to a society of goodness and understanding, accomplishment and prosperity. Conservatives need to understand the people who are involved in this civil war so they can get a clear idea of what needs to be done to WIN the war and rid Our Country of the socialist mange.

To get an organized understanding of this I use some figures as an easy reminder for visualizing the concepts involved.

To begin with I want to establish one FACT that is always present but never admitted. It is the elephant in the room that is crucial to understanding the situation we are in. Figure a is simply my way of comparing the mental capacities of various critters on this planet to We the People – home SAPIENS. You can imagine those little marks along the base line as representing the brain power of chimpanzees, dolphins etc. – so called smart animals. The vertical line on the right is the measure of human mental capacity – imagine that line going up 10,000 miles! I do this to make a point – people are endowed with VAST, OVERWHELMING mental capacity to learn, understand, invent, create, command and manage our lives and societies. This FACT must be considered in any discussion of how we govern ourselves. We live in a society where some people are building their own rocket ships to go into space. Others are getting ready to send manned missions to Mars. Some people are pushing digital technology, information technology etc. to astonishing levels ….. and at least 20 % of the people in this country are on some kind of welfare. The stark discrepancy of this situation ought to infuriate people. But it doesn’t. We just go along putting up with one phony political ‘crisis’ after another, manufactured by socialists to build their political crime racket on the expansion of a colossal group of government dependents. It is ugly, shameful – and a big laugh for the socialists who manage the monstrosity. Where is the political party that will call out people of success, accomplishment and achievement, and people of goodness who will turn this country away from the quicksand of inferiority that the Rats are contriving every day? The Republican Party is not that party. Standing up for Personal Excellence is not in their job description. Every discussion of every social and political issue should begin with the FACT of each person’s astounding mental capacity and ability to succeed in life, to contribute and prosper. Keep this always in mind as I continue this discussion.

The First Principle of Conservatism: If you know, understand or are aware of good in any way, then you have one choice in life – to direct yourself to what is BEST.
For Conservatives this is innate, known immediately, ever present as a fact of existence. It is the guiding principle for everything we do in private and in public. It puts ahead of us the summit of Goodness that is our destination, and it sets the just consequences for wrong behavior behind us – for extra motivation. Conservatives handicap themselves in dealing with other groups when they do not do the work of understanding and consider carefully their essential character. This innate principle guides the capacity we have to make good happen in a world, and life, of difficulties and challenges. We are well aware that there are people whose appreciation of this principle is faint or non-existent. We must openly face up to one plain Truth that is avoided in American society – All people are NOT created equal.

From the Declaration of Independence this ‘created equal’ line has been drilled into our heads since we were children and is a source of much trouble. The point is supposed to refer to equal treatment Before the Law – not that everyone is the same, which can lead to the notion that America is just a lower middle class anything goes circus. Over time the intended import of the phrase was allowed to ‘slide’ to become an excuse for behavior that ranges from improper to abnormal. The notion of people being ‘equal’ has become an attitude with which everyone is okay in the law sense, yet we still retain the truth that people have differences that are real and of great consequence. Conservatives know that the sure distinction of right from wrong is not to be confused with our ‘tolerance’ with various people. Our indefinite attitude of good feeling for others does not rule our understanding of right and wrong, nor how law is applied. Our definite commitment to the rule of Goodness guides our thoughtful concern for others.This interaction of ideas has gone on continuously through American history and in our time is still true and contributes to the difficulties that we now experience. The three politically distinct groups in our country are sorted into neutrals in the middle with conservatives on the upside and social-tarians on the down side. We need to admit that people have differences. In politics the two groups that are in a struggle to gain command in America are not the same, the differences are real and they are profound.The contest that is going on will have a definite resolution – One side will win and the Other side will lose. There is no bipartisanship, no peaceful co-existence, no ‘reaching across the aisle’, no working together for the good of the country. The longer the contest goes on the closer we get to the Break Point where the damage done by socialists either wakes up enough people to eradicate socialism, or Our Country will be driven to the catastrophe that has happened to other countries in the past century. If you think it can’t happen here – that is not what socialists think. The predicament we are in now is due to the confounding situation of a society made up of several groups some of which are in a ‘middling’ position, confronted with uncertain and complex social problems that have inexact solutions which have questionable results leading to endless arguments about public policy.

For social-tarians this is a situation ripe for exploitation. They can play a deceitful, dodgy game selling half-baked government ‘programs’ to the middling crowd by (not) telling them ‘halfwit is a perfect fit for you’, feigning that their artless dodging actually does something worthwhile, and denigrating ‘extremist’ conservatives and their hard numbers, reality tested answers. The game is much easier to play when you have an opposing political party controlled by mincing, fumbling big government wannabes. For conservatives this is a tiresome grind of failure and mendacity.

Figure b is a simple depiction of the people in Our Country who come in a range of attitudes and opinions. At each end are the more focused, determined types while in the middle are those who are less involved. Again, by noting the 36 % conservative group we can see that the political problem that confronts us is how to get beyond 51 % and more of the voters to join with us. It seems that it should be an easy task, but we see that socialists repeatedly get more than 50 % of the national vote through all sorts of connivance – because they can’t get those votes by selling – NOTHING. One astonishing example of this happened in the 2012 election when the Democrats had to defend 22 Senate seats and the Republicans only had to win 4 to regain control of the Senate and put a stop to Obama’s trashing of America. 4 out of 22. The Republicrats got 2 and the Rats kept control. This was at a time when Our Country was being mugged by the socialist Ratmob and we NEEDED the Republicans to DO the thing that they claim they are there to do – win elections. We need to get rid of the Republicrat party. Looking at Figure b it seems apparent that having near control of the House and Senate should be a stroll in the park for the Republican Party. Mysteriously they seem attached to 50 – 50 government. I wonder why. The Republican Party has been controlled for decades by the D.C. old boys money club and after so many failures over so many years people are finally realizing that if we want our politics and country to ‘go right’ then conservatives must step forward with definite plans for definite action to get real conservatives elected to Congress. The incessant vilification of conservatives by the Rat media is necessary to keep the middle group on Figure b from shifting toward the conservative end. The whole malicious attack against America is organized and orchestrated – they are all in on it and they enjoy the work of turning Our Country into GARBAGELAND.

Independents are easy marks for the nasty rhetorical attacks against conservatives which certainly influences the way they vote. The situation will NEVER be overcome as long as half-baked Republicrats, always in on the cash grab, allow socialists to wrap themselves in propaganda costumes of ‘conservative’ values while accusing real conservatives of the vile motives and scams that are the socialists reason for living. They are SO clever. It would be great if we had a political party that could hand out knuckle sandwiches instead of requests for nice behavior. We are stymied by the difficult problem of people who have explicit, sure principles trying to appeal to people who are unsure, uncertain, not entirely interested in principles or policies. Conservatives need a party that can definitize the issues and elect legislators who will govern with the mission of making citizen responsibility for goodness the first order of business. It is unpleasant to see a nation that was built up to a high level of accomplishment and prosperity used, and abused increasingly as a hangout for lackadaisical neutrals and malicious totalitarians.

Figure c is used to represent the range and differences among people. From worst through average to best the possibilities are present for everyone to choose a place in life – and in politics. Conservatives are up against the difficult task of convincing the middling, average group that taking the definite, upward path to achievement, accomplishment, prosperity, goodness (and voting for the party that promotes that path) may require hard work but it will be better than living a shuck and jive lie in the (note: down sloping) middle. Some people can pretend that they don’t know anything about what is Best so they identify with third rate culture while socialists con them with anti- conservative hate campaigns to drag them down from the middle to the bottom. Independents take an average view of things which leads to a mistaken attitude – they consider conservatives and socialists to be – the same, partisans trying to get in on the big government racket. Conservatives must point out clearly that those who are forthright in advancing excellence are NOT the same as those who are erratic, deceitful and malicious. We must approach independents with an invitation to advance from middling attitudes upward to excellence in their own lives and when voting for the political party that asks for authority to operate the government. In everyday life when you are hassled and scrambling in the middle it is difficult to see what is best and easy to suppose that shuck and jive is all there is to politics. But higher up on the curve you get a perspective that reveals things as they are – conservatives with wise and true principles striving to make Our Country a home for excellence, decency, intelligence and goodness, while socialists with a diatribe of inconstancy and feckless self-regard are way down on the curve trying to drag people down with incessant opinion control to a totalitarian nightmare. There is no up to socialism – it is all down and there is no bottom.

All people are not equal – they are not the same. There are very good people in the world, and there are very bad people, with a large group of average people in between. Our Country has been under attack for decades by people who prove their mendacity and incompetence, and their hostility to America every day. Socialists are people who have nothing but their self-important opinions and an obsession to force everyone to kowtow to those opinions. They do not care about right and wrong. Goodness is an irritating nuisance to them. They care about their opinions only – nothing else. Truth and lie are noises that have no value to them, except to be employed in propaganda scams. Destructive and abusive policies and programs are generators for – more witless policies and programs. Their ‘reality’ is only a theater to be stage managed and manipulated. Opinion takes precedence over all because THEY CANNOT DO REALITY. They have one potentially fatal nemesis – Conservatives, whose essential character, that commitment to Goodness provides a public comparison that reveals how small and vicious socialists are. That cannot be allowed. The endless hate campaign that comes from the socialist media apparats is meant to belittle conservatives to make them appear to be evil creatures who must be annihilated. If that degrades Our Country, that is tough for Our Country. Conservatives must face up to the knowledge that the grinding ‘crises’ that are inflicted on our society would be far more effectively dealt with – prevented! if we had a political party built on sure, effective principles. We have outsourced our political responsibilities to a party that is controlled by people who see government as an easy money cash grab and not much bothered if America is smeared and defamed and weakened as long as they get their share of the action in D.C. How is that working out for us?

Figure f is meant to show the population sorted out by respect for lawful conduct. At the left are people (criminals, and lowlifes) who have minimal regard for their duty to support and abide by the laws that – WE MAKE FOR OURSELVES AND AGREE TO RESPECT. At the right end are conservatives and tax paying chumps – people who may not be 100 % perfect but go to work every day with the understanding that an honest effort to make good happen is the best way to make our country the best it can be. As you see at the left end even lowlifes manage to peek above the baseline for lawful conduct once in awhile (for instance Hunter Biden) but we are not going to listen to them claim that this puts them on equal status with people at the right end of the line (Dr. Ben Carson for instance). Nor will we listen to them yelp about conservative hypocrisy when slight blemishes or a bad apple happen. Conservatives complain about a double standard which lets socialists skip away from any penalty for inferior behavior or criminal acts while conservatives get clobbered for the tiniest mistake. But if we want to commit ourselves to personal excellence and principles of goodness then we agree to accept appropriate correction when we are wrong. Conservatives need to confront an overfed, vapid society that is being trashed and mugged by inferior behavior enthusiasts and explain that the notion ‘all people are created equal’ does not mean that America is an anything goes circus. From the day the Pilgrims arrived and set up a community, not for the sake of liberty or equality – but to have things their way, to follow rules of goodness – Our Country has had conservative principles as the guiding rule and purpose for homes, community and nation. American history has been the struggle between adherence to those principles that have led to tremendous accomplishments, and a drifting away, alienation from and outright hostility to those principles. Our recent history has featured repeated attacks against conservative principles by those on the underside of the line of respect for the rule of principled law. Conservatives have watched as Republicrats have played them for fools giving Our Country away piece by piece whenever socialists demand destructive changes that are blatant violations of the letter and spirit of the principles that guide the Constitution. At some point each conservative comes to realize that this charade will not have a happy ending and we must get organized to take up the responsibility of governing. The Republicrat Party is a broken down crate that needs to be towed away and replaced with a Conservative Party – which will only happen when conservatives round up the gumption to make it happen.

Figure d is a representation of a mountain top, or summit, a goal toward which we direct our lives in the pursuit of goodness. When we aim for the summit we are narrowing our behavior, conduct, activity in order to achieve a higher goal. Conservatives are often called narrow-minded but our disinterest in scrambling around in the weeds at the bottom of the mountain, or in the middling ground from figure c and our determined focus on the top , the BEST, is not pinched or crabbed behavior. It is a commitment to the effort necessary to achieve higher accomplishments. Conservatives need to answer back to those who malign them and make plain the beneficial results of our conservative principles. Conservatives do set bounds but we must explain clearly that within those boundaries there is plenty of space for a variety of good people to get lots of good things done. At the same time we need to say plainly – there is no space at the top for criminal, immoral, or inferior behavior. Over the past several decades we have seen relentless evidence of the failures and abuses of socialism, and the tremendous benefits of conservatism – benefits that set up society for further accomplishments. As we proceed toward our ‘narrow’ objectives we demonstrate that one right step leads to another. And we can say out loud that the wretched record of socialism shows that one wrong step leads to another – all the way to oblivion. People have a choice between wasting their years thrashing about in the weeds of failure or following the upward path of goodness to the summit of accomplishment and success. In a society that has been raised to a level of considerable prosperity it is easy to suppose that we can relax and forget about the principles that got us up to this level, and we don’t need to bother with all that ‘old-fashioned’ conservative stuff. But we need to make the point plainly that rather than relax and coast backwards down hill we should take our accomplishments as an opportunity to look farther ahead and follow our conservative principles to set up even better days for our children. The truth of the old saying ‘good manners are always in style’ holds for ALL conservative principles.

Figure e is the slope from best to worst that has slides on it that move along those lines. In our society everyone has behavior variations every day and throughout their lives. We are regularly given the helpful hint, by regressives , that all people are variable, no one is perfect, so we don’t need to put up with conservatives who call for righteous attitudes and behavior. People are complex characters who come in a range from best to worst. They have definite traits of goodness that are dominant in some people, not in others. The possibility of bad behavior does not mean that we must agree that those who are worst represent the true nature of people and we should join them in failure. The FACT of Goodness is a Conservative Principle that is undeniable. People have a capacity to know good, and agency to make good happen. For independents who are susceptible to socialist invitations to go from average to worse to worst conservatives need to articulate the path from good to better to best and show them the massive evidence of beneficial effects of conservative principles and action. We need to hand them an invitation to rid themselves of their ‘middling’ attitude and get an excellent attitude that will lead to achievement, prosperity, and wisdom – a life well done. We are not asking for instant perfection or manic commitment, but to agree that a steady application of thought and effort to the opportunities and challenges we find ahead of us will lead to good results for you, your family and your community.

Old Polonius says that brevity is the soul of wit.

Well, after all this I shall try to summarize the main points as succinctly as I may. We are in trouble. The evidence – moral, social, financial, political is, if not overwhelming, certainly whelming. We are in a deteriorating public fracas due to a struggle between two groups, conservatives and totalitarians, to lead American society. Conservatives are people of goodness and decency, understanding and accomplishment but apolitical and accustomed to leave governing to people who have used them through voting to get a grip on government to help themselves and their buddies to financial gain while leaving Our Country open to ruin by totalitarian, America-hating socialists. Those socialists have no interest in goodness, they are concerned about one thing only – their self-important opinions which is EVERYTHING for them. Opinionation is what they are all about, and what they ARE is Wrong. In any election a candidate and party need to get more than fifty percent of the vote to gain authorization from the citizens to govern. With the large number of people who call themselves ‘independents’ conservatives have the problem of campaigning and explaining their understanding of personal excellence and how that is applied in government to people who live ‘average’ lives – average in effort, in thought and deed, and in attitude. Our problem is to get them to see that their attitude is part of America’s problem that we now must wrestle with because it leaves them susceptible to manipulation by people who have ZERO interest in goodness, indeed people who take the opportunity provided by a successful, prosperous society to lash out against that society with dishonesty, defamation, criminal acts, abusive connivance, all in an attempt bring our American society down to the place where socialists reside – the place of failure and inferiority.

America is hateful to socialists because – the mirror of America shows them for what they are – poisonous Rats. Everybody sees it, everybody knows it. In order to bring independents over to reliable support for conservative principles we must get the point across that directing our nation to a future that goes from Good to Better to Best requires people to have that attitude themselves. A football team that spends the week before a game playing hopscotch is not going to win on Saturday. They are going to get clobbered. In order to get a first rate result you must have a first rate attitude, and Plan. A third rate attitude will only get third rate results, at best, and makes those who have it easy marks for people who have vile, malicious attitudes. Socialists are skillful at suggesting to independents with ‘middling’ attitudes that conservatives and socialists are – the same, just two political gangs squabbling about who should control the D.C. money racket. Conservatives need to move the worn out Republicrat Party aside and take concerted, direct action to explode the social-tarian sham by setting before Independents the mountain of evidence that shows the incompetence, treachery, deceit and tiresome failures of the Ratmob in Our Country. We must make a scene every day pointing out the people who are most damaged by socialist mendacity – Blacks, Hispanics, women, children, seniors, homeowners, business owners and more. We need to invite independents to look ahead to a future of Great Goodness in this country – which will not happen with an average effort or attitude. We need to be blatant about our intentions by putting the Fact of Goodness and the Rule of Personal Excellence directly in the faces of Independents. We have spent years and years watching Our Country be steadily degraded by a hate America campaign instigated by socialists and we have to admit it cannot go on forever – even America can be sent to the bottom if enough damage is done to our society. It is a sad story to tell – much of the trouble and debts, many of the problems we have endured for the past 100 years – NEVER HAD TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE – if conservatives had been organized, with their own political party, and determined to step forward to their responsibility to advance Goodness. Consider:

If Our Country is worth doing, is it worth doing Well?
Government will happen – Conservatives can leave it to others to connive at failure or they can decide to take charge for Goodness sake.

If a political party is worth doing, is it worth doing Well?
The Republican Party is a relic of past days, no longer worthwhile because they do not have sure Principles. Conservative Principles will establish effective, competent, limited government when a majority of voters admit that people are able to accomplish self government without BIG government ‘help’.

If you, Conservative, are worth doing, ARE YOU WORTH DOING WELL?
