“Words from the Several States” The Movement, part 11B
“True Conservatism” & “The Beltway cocktail circuit”
Lets now take a long, deep, thoughtful, pronounced and fully realized look at this other major political philosophy called Conservatism.
I'll go nice and slow, so that the elitists and brilliant brain-trusts of the main-stream media are able to keep up. To the rest of my readership, I apologize.
Trust me folks, a day of reckoning is coming for the media, and they will eventually re-discover the trade skills of journalism.
The Latin route word is “to save or preserve.” In modern western society, where you have a Constitutionally limited democratic-representative republic, the translation would loosely be in political-suffrage terms; “to save or preserve the rights and sovereignty of the individual.” That is as exact as I can break it down.
I would further, and more properly expand on that political term, to say that “Conservatism” is a mindset, a way of living ones life, a way of feeling about the society and social norms around you.
We then could get down into sub-sets of thought, such as “Liberal Conservatism”, which would be people who champion free markets, as that allows for a strong economic base, job creation and less poverty through solid vitality of business-growth action.
There are about five other sub-sets of Conservatism, but that will truly have to be another series of columns.
The modern day GOP-Republican party has hijacked and grossly perverted conservatism.
I would ask all the members of the main-stream mush media to now overlay my definitions of Classic Liberalism and Conservatism, and see how extremely close they are in context.
Okay, back to bashing the republican party, a favored blood-sport here at FRN Newsletter, if only because they are so deserving.
The robber barons came in during the 1880's and literally stole the GOP away from its base as a responsible common man's party.
Now, after 130 years of media spin and collective public ignorance, there is this insanely simplistic belief that the GOP is the party of the “Big guy”, the business man. Specifically White rich businessmen. The last 50 years has seen the worst abuse.
As with the Liberal base now controlling the Democratic party through group think, the GOP is controlled by a very small group of people who feel the power should lay within their hands for all of time.
The GOP doesn't believe in smaller government, at least not much smaller than Democrats. One could argue that President George W. Bush presided over the largest expansion of government, though we have to see if President Obama can out do him.
What has happened to the GOP over the last 130 years is even worse than what travesties besieged the Democrats. The Conservative base is still there, maybe 20% of the party. Yet look at the candidates the RNC tosses up for selection, Reagen, Bush sr., Bush jr., Dole and McCain. Ambassador Alan Keyes is a far better man and a true conservative, but he would see an end to GOP power held in the same old collection of to few hands.
So come on all you true Conservatives, its time for you to hit those party meetings and “Take them over.”
I mean it, keep going to the party meetings until you have changed the leadership.
“The Beltway Cocktail Circuit”
Now this is where the real political party in America comes to play, and network. The cocktail circuit has become an out-growth (read mutation) of large government, wealthy Liberals, think tank membership, powerful journalists, academics and rich business people who want the intellectuals to like them.
It is the same old group of people and their off-spring waiting to take over. The same group of people who make up the power establishment. The people who really want all of us to believe the media vomit, that Democrats are for the little guy and the GOP is for the rich. I don't know about you, but I surely do not want America to go another 100 years, with 99% of the political power in the hands of the same two corrupt parties.
It is a rotation process. A young person graduates from Yale (read Harvard, Princeton, etc.) and gets a job through either their family or “connections” with a senator's office. After four years they become a deputy assistant secretary in one of the government's many bloated departments. Five years later they go back home and run the statewide party for five years and maybe teach a lecture class on the side. That person then gets tapped to be an advisor to a presidential campaign. If the candidate wins, they surely will have a plum position in the White House, if not, they will continue their trek through the power establishment on another course.
The same group of people, circulating from Government, business, banking, academia, Think tanks and the media. David Axelrod's son has just got his first real job, at the Huffington Post. You see my point? The next generation now taking root.
This cycle has seen the now sprinting spiral downward for America. We didn't have this culture of “Political inbreeding” when the federal government was only 3% of America's GDP. Simply because it was not big enough to support a “Political power class.” That was before World War One, today the federal government is 20% of our GDP and plenty large enough to support and self-sustaining endless breeding of drones and drone-children. President George W. Bush was born into this system of power on one end, while President Obama happily sold his soul to the Chicago machine, to be a political insider. In my mind there is zero difference between the two presidents.
The cycle must be stopped and the power must be taken away. There is only one way to do it, more political parties need to get their candidates elected and the federal government must be whittled down to a respectable 6% or 7% of GDP. This can happen, it must happen. It will take 25 years or more, but it must happen. Classic Liberals must take back their Democratic party, Conservatives must take back the Republican party, we all must be more politically involved and educated. One more thing, If those two parties cannot be saved, then they must be abandoned by the common man, and new parties must support the Constitution. This is a practical political statement.
Finally, we must never let the Constitution be hijacked by thugs, socialists and elitists. I want to pistol-whip conservative talk radio for awhile, if you don't mind. They drive me crazy to, with their mean hatred of third parties. Rush is the biggest abuser. I know it is his show and he can comment on anything he wants, but he does not get it.
Two of the largest third parties are the Libertarians and the Constitution party. Both parties have true conservatives and Classic liberals in their ranks. Both parties are totally free of special interest money.
I think Rush has this simplistic belief that if a Libertarian candidate for president should win, that they would have no mandate for change. Congress could just ignore them. Wrong, simplistic and ignorant.
Plenty of room, in America, for many political parties, independents and
I want Conservative talk radio, as a whole, to stop hedging their bets on a Republican party owned by special interests. I want Conservative talk radio to start thinking outside the political main-stream box.
