Spring Cleaning

This is fantastic! It's like spring cleaning in the middle of December. The GOP is getting a great look at who's true blue (or red, as it were). Pat Buchanan just wrote a column about how we're a bunch of idiots because we don't want to nationalize the auto industry. He just doesn't seem to understand that free-market capitalism in under attack and with comments like that, he is helping to attack it.

The idea of using public funds to bail out private industry should be sickening to any free-market capitalist. If it's not sickening to you, you're not a free-market capitalist... sorry, but you're not.

If a company, any company, is failing; it is our duty to let it fail. It is doing so for a reason. Even if it is Chrysler, Ford, or GM. Of course, it would be a trial for our economy, but it needs to happen... our economy will be stronger for it.

Anyone who is for a bailout is against our free-market society. Additionally, anyone who is for someone (like Obama) who is against our free-market society, should call themselves what they are... Socialists. I was appalled at the treatment Sarah Palin received. She is a free-market capitalist, and someone we desperately need to have on our side.

It is time for some spring cleaning. I have made a list of tired, old dust bunnies we need to sweep from the garage.

This list includes, but is not limited to:

David Brooks, who said, "... Sarah Palin... represents the old resentments and the narrow appeal of conventional Republicanism. As a result, Democrats now control the middle." New York Times, 10/26/08
Christopher Buckley, who said, "Sarah Palin is an embarrassment, and a dangerous one at that." The Daily Beast, 10/10/08
David Frum, who said, "Ms. Palin's experience in government makes Barack Obama look like George C. Marshall." The National Post [Canada], 8/29/08
Peggy Noonan, who said of Obama, "He climbed steep stairs, born off the continent with no father to guide, a dreamy, abandoning mother, mixed race, no connections. He rose with guts and gifts. He is steady, calm, and ... he shows good judgment in terms of whom to hire and consult, what steps to take and moves to make." Wall Street Journal, 10/29/08
Kathleen Parker, who said, "I love Obama for his style, grace, intellect and his way with words. I want the healing power that an Obama Presidency could deliver to this country." syndicated column, 9/19/08
And now I sadly have to include Pat Buchanan. Why, Pat, why?

Barney Frank has called for "welfare" for the auto workers. They don't need welfare, they just need to work like everyone else. My question is, what is the difference between Barney Frank and these so called Republican? I'll answer that for you... nothing.

I, as a conservative... a "real" conservative, approach the future with a sense of optimism. I look forward to our impending revolution. Now that we have cleaned out the garage, it's time to start anew. There is nothing like a fresh start. To quote the greatest conservative who ever lived... "It's morning again in America."
