Hold Coronation. Florida RINO's 46%/Conservatives 46% Libertarians 7%
Before the MSM/Country Club GOP and Beltway establishment crown, once again, the head of Mitt Romney perhaps people should stop for a moment and ask what did the voters of Florida say.
It is the same message as the voters of all the other primary states so far-a majority didn't vote for Romney. Even in Florida with a massive spend and a vicious campaign and a split conservative opposition Romney couldn't break 50%.
With 98% of the vote in Romney/Huntsman had 46% Gingrich/Santorum/ and the votes for (why?) other true conservatives totalled 46% and the libertarians Paul and Johnston gained 7%.
With PPP Polling showing Santorum polling ahead of Romney in Missouri there is absolutely no reason why the campaign should not continue with, ideally in my opinion one conservative in the race-Gingrich.
The Quiet Revolution; Black Christian Conservative Candidates May Transform America
An unnoticed silent revolution may be happening which, over time, could have dramatic impact on the traditional American voting structure. We saw in California a major reason why the same sex legislation was defeated, was that Blacks voted against the proposed law in substantial numbers.
There were conservative Blacks elected in the 2010 Tea Party landslide, including high profile conservatives like Allen West. Perhaps even more importantly, low profile Blacks were elected, which signals that it is not only personality driven candidates who can win, rather it is also candidates who reflect a deeper mood or paradigm who can win, which is a more significant sign of change.
Now that a Black has been elected to the highest office in the land, the social/emotion imperative to vote for a Democrat, no matter what ones personal circumstances, may have been removed for a number of normally conservative Blacks.
The fact that he has been shown to be no better or worse than the average run of presidents is important.It may signal to Black voters that there are no miracles of competence from any race, and there is no point in expecting a Black person, no matter how qualified to, uniquely, be an agent of transformation-economically and socially.
In fact this very proof of non-transformation may, at last, free a significant proportion of the Black voting population from their attachment to the Democratic Party.
There is no question that the Democrat's of Hubert Humphrey and LBJ were incontestably the vehicle for social reform in America and supported the Black movement that ended segregation-allowing fro the fact that it was president Eisenhower who initiated physical protection for Blacks at the early stage of the protest movement.
With those aims accomplished the question for Blacks now may be is that party the best vehicle for economic advancement? Are the conditions in Detroit or Chicago or Philadelphia indicative of a failed welfare-ism? Is self-advancement through education and,as Newt Gingrich said through eventually owning a business a better road for Blacks than welfare-ism?
If the answer to those questions is that a better road for community and individual advancement is the one that has worked for hundreds of years for one ethnic group after another who came to America. i.e. individual effort in a free economy then the intake of elected Black conservatives may mark a significant sea change.
Further a large number of elected Black office holders might bring with them their traditional Christian values and moral principles.Freed from an traditional attachment to the Democratic Party, which used their voting strength to bring in ultra-liberal social policies, and allied to the Tea Party, there could be a moral and economic regeneration of America led by a forward looking Black leadership in the tradition of Rev. Dr. King who was a Republican.
Not only do we see an increase in the number of Black conservative candidates and official but there is a significant new voice in the Blogosphere from many conservative Black commentators, many with a strong Christian focus such as Adrienne Ross at "Motivation Truth" who is just one outstanding example of a new voice from the Black community.
Here is a new example of another candidate from the new paradigm from Saucy American In NZ's' Lisa Gilmer
support Big John Smith for Congress in Tennessee
hattip: Ann Barnhardt
Hey Tennessee, support conservative candidate Big John Smith for Congress! America needs many more citizens to get involved with restoring the Republic. John Smith believes:
"With the collapse of our monetary system, our cities, states and people are in peril because of ever mounting deficits, and unemployment. To make matters even worse, we have enemies on the outside and inside of our boarders wanting our demise; no longer, can we enjoy the sense normalcy, because our national security is in peril. My friends, Sooner or later, we’re going to have to accept our responsibility as the heirs to our republic, and act! We have to acknowledge, we must make the tough choices to save our nation. We cannot continue to elect men and women who yield to their personal ambitions and philosophies or display a condescending attitude towards the electorate, while governing. This is not acceptable; especially to those who have lost everything and to others who are wondering, what the hell has happened to the country they knew! Some leaders would have you think all is well; but they are not truthful. Continue to watch the cost of living as a gauge, this will tell the story. If you can look through partisanship, the well being of our nation goes beyond party lines. I am a person who knows his actions or inactions would be accountable to one higher than his self and to the people that elected him. "I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear, I'm going to tell you the truth." With God’s help, I want to help restore our land. If you are searching for these qualities in a candidate, who truly cares for his nation, then I am your man! Thank you and God bless you!"

The Nation Gets It;"Palin Staking A Claim On The Party's Heart And Soul"
John Nichols at The Nation has a brilliant article up "Sarah Versus the 'Stalinists'. Nichols article is unusual, in that it sets out what is patently obvious to one and all, who view the current Republican Party scene unblinkered by factional dogma.
Nichols sees Palin "at war" with, to use his colourful language "epic losers like John McCain and Bob Dole and epic spinners like Peggy Noonan."
It is a pleasure to see a columnist use the same spirited language as Palin, but with perhaps a bit more bite than she is allowed (although saying Governor Christie had his panties in a wad" may show she is pushing the envelope).
It is a pleasure to see a columnist use the same spirited language as Palin, but with perhaps a bit more bite than she is allowed (although saying Governor Christie had his panties in a wad" may show she is pushing the envelope).
That rhetoric aside, Nichols raises serious points about a serious matter, the battle for the very heart and soul of the Republican Party.
To me the core of Nichols argument is the following. By all means please read the whole article
By positioning herself as the champion of the party’s grassroots in a battle with an aging and out-of-touch establishment, Palin is staking a claim on the party’s heart and soul. It is she, not Gingrich, and certainly not Romney, who may be best placed to come out of a bitter nominating fight as the favorite of the delegates to the Republican National Convention in Tampa and of Tea Partisans who will need to be energized if Republicans are going to be viable in the fall.
Even as she attacks the likely GOP nominee, Palin makes herself the essential Republican. That translates into talk of her as a convention keynoter, a vice presidential prospect or a Cabinet member in a new GOP administration. Palin would take the keynoter gig, in a heartbeat (high-profile, few risks), but don’t think that she would casually lower herself to accept another second spot on a crashing Republican ticket.

Obama Declares War on People of Conscience.
Obama Declares War on People of Conscience.
Here is the Catholic response to Obama's decision to betray his promises to the Catholic Church and people of conscience everywhere.
From:
The HHS rule requires that sterilization and contraception – including controversial abortifacients – be included among “preventive services” coverage in almost every healthcare plan available to Americans. “The government should not force Americans to act as if pregnancy is a disease to be prevented at all costs,” added Cardinal-designate Dolan.
Update:
Local dioceses across the nation are preparing to read letters to their members, similar to this:
Local dioceses across the nation are preparing to read letters to their members, similar to this:
In thousands of parishes this weekend, Catholic priests read a version of the following letter to their congregation denouncing this decision as an attack on their religious freedom. Each bishop personally sent the letter out, and so there were some local variations. Here's the one read in the Phoenix Archdiocese. Here's another from the Bishop of Trenton. What follows is from the Bishop of Marquette:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
I write to you concerning an alarming and serious matter that negatively impacts the Church in the United States directly, and that strikes at the fundamental right to religious liberty for all citizens of any faith. The federal government, which claims to be “of, by, and for the people,” has just been dealt a heavy blow to almost a quarter of those people — the Catholic population — and to the millions more who are served by the Catholic faithful.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced last week that almost all employers,
including Catholic employers, will be forced to offer their employees’ health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs, and contraception. Almost all health insurers will be forced to include those “services” in the health policies they write. And almost all individuals will be forced to buy that coverage as a part of their policies.
In so ruling, the Obama Administration has cast aside the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, denying to Catholics our Nation’s first and most fundamental freedom, that of religious liberty. And as a result, unless the rule is overturned, we Catholics will be compelled to either violate our consciences, or to drop health coverage for our employees (and suffer the penalties for doing so). The Obama Administration’s sole concession was to give our institutions one year to comply.
We cannot—we will not—comply with this unjust law. People of faith cannot be made second class citizens. We are already joined by our brothers and sisters of all faiths and many others of good will in this important effort to regain our religious freedom. Our parents and grandparents did not come to these shores to help build America’s cities and towns, its infrastructure and institutions, its enterprise and culture,
only to have their posterity stripped of their God given rights. In generations past, the Church has always been able to count on the faithful to stand up and protect her sacred rights and duties. I hope and trust she can count on this generation of Catholics to do the same. Our children and grandchildren deserve nothing less.
And therefore, I would ask of you two things. First, as a community of faith we must commit ourselves to prayer and fasting that wisdom and justice may prevail, and religious liberty may be restored. Without God, we can do nothing; with God, nothing is impossible. Second, I would also recommend visiting www.usccb.org/conscience,to learn more about this severe assault on religious liberty, and how to contact Congress in support of legislation that would reverse the Obama Administration’s decision.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Videos Of Palin On Hannity And Napolitano Today.Double Your Pleasure
Governor Palin on Sean Hannity
With thanks to Adrienne Ross at Motivation Truth
MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 2012
Governor Palin was Sean Hannity's guest tonight on his Fox News television show. She discussed her recent Facebook notecalling out the GOP establishment, and once again she voiced the importance of continuing this primary process. The Governor is adamant that there are many ideas yet to be articulated by the four candidates; therefore, the best way to hear those ideas is for the process to go on.
Also, hear what she says are each candidates' strengths:

Governor Palin Explains 'Rage Against the Machine' to Judge Napolitano
Judge Napolitano interviewed Governor Palin on Fox Business tonight, and right out of the gate he asked her what she meant when she told Judge Pirro that voters in Florida should "rage against the machine" by voting for Newt Gingrich:
I want voters to rise up and allow this vetting process to continue so we can start hearing even more ideas--articulated even clearer what the solutions are--from these candidates, and how we're going to get back on the right track...we're only going to have that through an extended vetting process.
Judge Napolitano pressed Governor Palin on the candidacy of Ron Paul, stressing that he has consistently taken the right stands on issues that matter to conservatives. The Governor, not wanting to be dismissive of Ron Paul but wanting to be "practical," had this to say:
I want to make sure that my one vote really counts, and when you look at the numbers--when you do the math--you see that Romney and Newt Gingrich are the two front runners, and--it appears today--it's one or the other.
Governor Palin makes it clear that it is what it is, so one must spend her/his vote on a conservative candidate with a record of reform, one who can first, actually win the nomination and second, eventually beat President Obama.

Facts about the developing conspiracy you need to know. They have Col Allen West in their sites.
An angry declaration of intent, befitting the nauseous conspiracy of Big Money in support of the effort to take us away from the traditions, history and political conversation that has given us the United States of America.
It is Michelle Obama's inflammatory rhetoric that frames the scope of the current conspiracy to take down this country. We have been conditioned to laugh at and otherwise ignore "conspiracies." I used to be one of those who laughed at a supposed larger conspiratorial narrative. But no more. Disagree? Fine. You tell me what this means, then:
MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."
Michelle Obama's vision is not something that just happens. Nor is it the product of some irresistible social evolutionary change. Rather, "revolutionary mutation" is much closer to the reality. This destructive evil driven by the Enemy Within was well under way by the time ActBlue was founded in 2004. By 2006, the Right was aware of its presence as per an article found in October of that year, in the National Journal. Going into its 9th year, the Obama presence has emboldened this bunch of Commie misfits. It is allied with the Daily Kos and MoveOn.org
Most recently, ActBlue has published a hit list, the first six of ten names they have determined to "take out." High on that list is Allen West.
“We’re talking about some of the most odious members of Congress. Even for Republicans these guys are low,“ said Campaign Manager Matthew ”Mudcat” Arnold in a statement. “We’re going to empower local activists to organize their friends and neighbors to lay out the truth about their representatives in the most basic terms: They are anti-woman. They are anti-science. They are hypocritical, bigoted, and have said and done things that are downright crazy. They’ve done more to embarrass their constituents then they have to govern or work toward solutions. They are unfit for congress, and we’re going to help their constituents hold them accountable.” Source: ActBlue
Of course, there is no concern on the part of these faux intellectuals to represent anything other than their own brand of freedom hating, anti-capitalist, distributive crap. Nothing they represent has been successful anywhere in the world. America is the "crown jewel." It has the wealth and socio-stability to empower the efforts of these collectivists and push their agenda, culminating in a One World system that denies faith and personal freedoms. This bunch needs to be infiltrated, exposed and kicked to the curb. Until that happy day, I, for one, will check in on them on occasion.
Too long of an article, I know, but review this fundraising list of this bunch and be afraid:
