Thanks for your article Shirley; However, I disagree with you entirely. You are missing the larger picture. The Left controls 95% of the media and 99% of the educational institutions. Given that their policies and beliefs can not be intellectually supported, they must promulgate hatred towards anyone who questions their idiocy. I sympathize with you sentiments, and am happy you are a Conservative. Yet you are failing to appreciate that the vast majority of Conservatives are older than you and that it is not in our interest to attack anyone who is authentically on our side. The left does this for a living and your misguided dismay, is counter productive at best. Never forget, that it often takes a person many years to recognize the truth. Think about it; there are countless stories of far left liberals, who see the light and become staunch Conservatives (Horowitz, Eldridge Cleaver etc.) but I am unaware of the reverse having ever occurred. Accordingly, we all gain wisdom with age.
Rather than getting upset when someone refers to themselves as a Reagan Conservative, why don’t you direct your anger at the plethora of people who subscribe to the delusional, proven to fail, Statist philosophy? I know you are young, but Reagan wasn’t too long ago and what he did for our cause is unparallel. For God Sakes-how often do you hear the disingenuous Democrats comparing Obama to John F Kennedy’s? Reagan was 5 Presidents after JFK!
You are obviously intelligent, so please take some time to study and get a grasp of the meaning of Conservatism and Conservative Principles; they are timeless and never get old. In a nut shell, we believe that people are inherently good and that individual freedom is paramount. Obama and his cohorts believe that we are incapable of living to our potential and that they have the right to dictate what is best for us, for our own good. (They are the smart people), In addition, you probably have no idea how Reagan went against the prevailing wisdom of “Détente”, which resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Union. Another thing you should understand, relating to Reagan’s greatness, was that he was able to put through policies which validated much of what we stand for. Yes, Obama has unwisely spent more money than any President in history; however, his party controls both houses. Did you know that Reagan was able to change the world, completely reverse 100’s of counter-productive Democrat imposed regulations, at the same time that the Democrats had majorities in both the House and Senate? I guess you never wondered why he was called the “Great Communicator”. Shirley if people want to refer to themselves as a Reagan Conservative, so be it, it shouldn’t offend you. In fact, it should help you better understand their belief system. We are a party of ideas. Liberals (as they deceptively call themselves) are the ones who must follow the leader like drones, in fear of reprisal. Mark Levin’s recent best seller “Liberty and Tyranny” is a good book for you to read. It will help you better understand the basis of the things you already believe.
Next, Shirley, have you ever listened to Rush Limbaugh-yourself? What damage is he doing? You are completely confused here and without even knowing it, you are repeating Democrat spin.
Shirley, you need to listen to him sometime and stop having your opinions influenced by others, who are often driven by ulterior motives. Again, remember that the policies of the Democrats are indefensible and the only recourse they have is to attack their critiques. Aside from acting less Presidential, than any President in history, why do you think Obama personally attacked Limbaugh? If Limbaugh was hurting us, would the head of the Democrat Party and the rest of the Democrats continuously disparage him? Would Obama have appointed his new communist sympathizer, FCC Czar Lloyd, whose primary goal is to shut down Limbaugh?
Shirley why do you think they still continue to attack Palin? It’s because they are scared shitless of her. If you want to know who Liberals fear, simply look at who they attack. (Ex) As a private citizen, Palin, didn’t write an article, conduct and interview with a reporter or call up a news source. She simply posted something on her Facebook page, which not only created a national uproar, but forced the Democrats to remove an entire section from their egregious Obama Care scam plan; while everything Republican Congressman had been offering for months had been denied.
Shirley, it’s too bad we don't have someone in our Party who can speak like Reagan today. Do yourself a favor, and please listen to this 10 minute recording of Reagan in 1961 speaking against Government health Care! This is another reason why we must always remember our past, because Liberals need to control, they never go away and if Obama Care doesn't go through this time- they will be back!!! Just listen and substitute the references to people's names with Obama, Pelosi, Waters, Frank, Reid etc. Listen to the brilliance of his thoughts. He wrote his own speeches, this was way before he was President. As Americans we never want to deny people of healthcare........

Concerning these people: Tavis Smiley, DL Hughley, Al Sharpton, people like you need to get out into the community and find ways to explain to the young people how people like Al, profit on misery. Please watch this video of Harry Alford on the O'Reilly Factor. I posted it earlier, but it is priceless. Alford is a businessman, which is a colorblind profession. Even O’Reilly, doesn't understand, when he says that" (D) Boxer likes black people, she just doesn't like conservatives" however Alcorn does! - Yes, she likes black people who are in their place!! This is what the left is all about; they truly believe that they are better and smarter than us.

The unacceptable agenda of Obama the ideologue
It is reprehensible that this administration and this attorney general are launching criminal probes into the actions of men and women who protected America in one of our darkest, most dangerous moments.
There are two separate and distinct points being over looked. The first is that the ones who ran the CIA program are the ones who initially “blew the whistle” and brought the issue to the attention of the Inspector General and an investigation was conducted.
Second, the investigator then turned over the findings to the Department of Justice, 5 years ago; the career prosecutors then looked into it and said we’re not going to prosecute except for one case, which they did.
Attorney General Holder is acting on an ideological agenda. He does not have the security interest of the United States at heart and he is going to do enormous damage to America’s security and America’s intelligence gathering capability. Here we have men and women who did things that were authorized only after the CIA met with the Defense Department, the Justice Department and outside experts to set the guidelines. Then the guidelines were reviewed by the Justice Department, blessed in a series of memorandums, all of which took place, with the awareness of Congress. Now we are looking back and deciding that in following these set and approved procedures, the people protecting our lives, did something wrong?
How’s that going to effect future behavior? If you’re a CIA guy and you’re trying to protect America, are you going to look for a tough assignment? Are you going to do the tough thing? Are you going to do something, within the law or are you going hold back and do as little as possible, for fear of having yourself end up, at the twilight of your career, stuck in front of a federal prosecutor, paying for $100’s of thousands of dollars in legal bills out of your own pocket?
Let’s step back even further for just a moment. These techniques were used on: Jose Padilla who was about to use dirty bombs to blow up apartment buildings using natural gas explosions; on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the master mind of 9-11, where the information we got from him was so vital, it’s still classified today; and on Al Nasiriyah, the man who master minded the Cole terrorist attack.
Just think about the plots that we know which have been publically discussed, that we were able to stop because of the information we gained from these techniques. * The plot to bring down 8 or 10 flights over the Pacific simultaneously, *The plan to fly an airplane into Britain’s Heathrow Airport, *The plan to attack American trains, *The plot to blow up gas stations in the United States, * The terrorist plan to fly a plane into the Liberty Tower in Los Angeles; and these techniques worked! Accordingly, if anybody needs to figure out whether they worked or not- just read the Inspector General’s report that’s being sited by the opponents of these techniques! However, be sure to read the report yourself, and see the overwhelming amount of clear, concise and convincing evidence proving that these techniques kept America safe.
I read the reports from a legal perspective and laughed, while thinking to myself how they plan to prosecute based on what they had, which exclusively consisted of: rampant hearsay, opinion and speculation-which was just one of the reasons sited by the career prosecutors in choosing not to go forward. Therefore, given complete culmination of the facts, it is clear that the Obama administration is not concerned with justice.
Obama’s motives are frightening and resemble nothing in our Nation’s history of jurisprudence. Even creepier, it that Holder is the same Attorney General:
I fear we are on the cusp of losing the Country we know.

- Who single handedly stopped the filing of a criminal, Voter Intimidation Indictment against the Black Panther thugs, who stood in front of a polling station last election, wearing militant uniforms and carrying clubs.
- Who concurred with the opinion that (D) Senator Dodd, the head of the Senate Finance Committee, which oversaw Country Wide Mortgage Company and (D) Senator Conrad, did not receive favorable treatment from Country Wide (possibly the largest single contributing entity of our current financial crisis), even through each Senator received personal mortgage loans, at a rate 2% points lower than the current Federal Rates Rate on the day their loans were consummated.
- Who went out of his way, to show no opposition to Scotland’s release of the mass murdering, Libyan terrorist, who a jury convicted of killing 270 people, mostly Americans;
- Who on his second to last day in office, pressured former President Clinton to Pardon, his client: exiled, multi-million dollar tax cheat and total dirt-bag client, Mark Rich;
- Who yesterday gave the order to drop the multi-year, felony, bribery and conspiracy investigation and forthcoming indictment against sleaze ball, Arizona Governor Richardson, claiming insufficient evidence. Ironically, when the charges were initially filed, Richardson, unilaterally withdrew his nomination to serve in Obama’s Cabinet; which is an unprecedented step for someone to take, who knows the pending charges against him are meritless.
I fear we are on the cusp of losing the Country we know.

The disgraceful supporters of Obama Care
The comments made by Gibb’s, the media and other members of the Obama Administration are incredibly hypocritical. Of course, this only happens when you have a conservative protest, then it’s called a “mob”. If it’s a liberal protest, it’s called the grass roots expressing themselves. Remember just a year ago, during the Bush administration, when dissent was the highest form of patriotism? However, now it’s a kind of organized anger; it’s a facsimile of anger; it’s un- Patriotic, it’s whatever.
Look, today there is a genuine revolt against the idea of remaking a system, when: over 80% of Americans have health insurance, 5 of 6 of those, are happy with their health care and 4 of 5 are happy with their health insurance. At the same time, you have an Administration, arrogantly deciding it’s going to tear it all up and start all over; and people are surprised that there are protests and say that it had to be manufactured? Of course it’s spontaneous, if people go together on a bus that is entirely legitimate, for it gives them courage.
Protesting the Vietnam War was a multi-million dollar organized business which sponsored innumerable organized protests. In fact, the vast majority of all protests are and have always been organized. Every protest for abortion rights, animal rights, against the G2 summit, ACORN picketing on the street, code pink sitting in front of Bush's ranch, etc.,has been organized behind it. It is grossly despicable to hear Obama and our current radical, biased main stream media tactically disparage American citizens in an attempt to discredit their dissenting opinion, rather that intellectually addressing their concerns.

Obama's Beer Party Ploy 7.31.09
I know all of us are supposed to get into the spirit of levity and good humor, but I am afraid I can’t. This is a typical Obama; he commits an offense against the public good, he imputes racism, where there was none and then he declares a teachable moment; where he will instruct us on tolerance, understanding and brotherhood. He did this before and he does this over and over again. He found last year after 20 years he had been in a church with a raving racist, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, whose church he had worshipped in his entire adult life. And what’s Obama’s response?
He gives a speech on race, another teachable moment, in which he ascribes racism to everyone: the white working middle class, African Americans, Jeremiah Write, his own Grandmother - except himself and he stands there, hovering above it all, teaching us the ways of tolerance and brotherhood. Look, he may be a great President or a lousy one, but when he acts in this way: when he stands above the fray in a patronizing and condescending way, instructing us on the ways of the World, I find him insufferable.

Our pitiful, race-baiting , unpresidential Commander and Chief 7/23/09
Give me a break! Professor Gates is an under achieving, thin minded, fraud intellect, who is cornered in an extremely narrow and limited field of academia, which needs to perpetuate agitation and racial conflict to exist. His insecurity, lack of self-worth and substantive accomplishment, compels him to seek unwarranted attention to mask the incessant pain he endures each day, living in our inequitable world.
Any person, white, green or yellow, who acted in the manner witnesses describe, would have been arrested. Simply divorce yourself from emotion and consider the indisputable and irrefutable facts:
We have:
When he refused, he set into motion a sequence of very significant events, which resulted in his arrest. Had he presented valid, verifiable photo ID, everything would have come to a grinding halt and the investigation would have ended.
The aforementioned scenario is corroborated by 8 civilian eye and ear witnesses, including a credible and reliable next door neighbor, plus two addition police officers, one of which is black. The facts would lead any clear minded professional to suspect a robbery was underway.

We have:
- A 911 call.
- A creditable ear and eye witness who met responding Sergeant Crowley at the scene,
- There were two individuals with back packs, on the porch, shouldering-trying to force a door open, the rear door of a primary residence in a residential neighborhood, with their shoulders.
- When one individual Mr. Gates, refused to produce identification to a uniformed Police Sergeant (there was no ambiguity, it wasn’t that he might have been anti crime, undercover or someone misrepresenting himself as law enforcement);
- It was clear that Mr. Gates was given a lawful order.

Obama's Failure in Iran January 19, 2009
President Obama's choice of silence, as his initial response to the protests in Iran was an abomination. Although, he is not verbalizing his opinion, the President’s lack of action is his administration’s cryptogram to the world that America implicitly supports the repressive, tyrannical regime currently in charge of Iran. We watched Gibbs say that what’s going on is vigorous debate; the shooting of 8 and now 12 demonstrators is not debate, the knocking of heads and bloodying of demonstrators by the Revolutionary guards is not debate, the arbitrary arrest of journalist, political opposition and students is not debate; and to call it a debate and to use this neutral, opaque and denatured language is disgraceful. Beyond that, the turmoil in Iraq is no longer about the elections, the reason that young people are dying in the streets, is not because they wanted a recounting of hanging chads on the outer precincts of Tehran. What they want is to no longer live under a tyrannical, repressive and corrupt theocracy.
This is what the demonstrations, the movement and the moment is about now. Its about the regime, there is an opportunity and as leader of the free world, Obama must seize it. Revolution is going to happen, one way or the other eventually, and this Theocracy will fall. It may not happen now, but it ought to be supported because it might happen now and it would change the world if it did.
The entire debacle is deeply disturbing and shameful. The President has failed to really offer his support for the protesters at any time and he has failed to directly question the results of the election. The other night, in an interview he said “Well it doesn’t really matter whether Mousavi is declared the victor or Ahmadinejad there aren’t major policy differences between the two”. Though, that may have been true before the election, we don’t know if it is true going forward, but in any case it was an awful thing to say, because the protester who are on the street right are there largely for one of two reasons; either they are supporters of Mousavi or they think the election was fraudulent. So by him saying that he is in effect saying that what you are doing doesn’t matter that much is reprehensible.
Everybody understands that America is not going to go to War over this, however if you are a demonstrator on the street, you want to hear that America is behind you and they need material support with communication and other means as the CIA helped Solidarity in the 1980’s. We are Americans; freedom is the foundation of our existence. President Obama must lead and explicitly express that we stand for the freedom of all people. Obama can easily accomplish this without directly debasing the Iran’s fascist regime, just as President Reagan did when he supported the efforts of the Solidarity movement in Eastern Block Poland. To date, Obama position only be seen as a desire for stability, engagement and negotiations with the existing regime-and when the protesters get this message in the street, it is highly discouraging.
The truth of the matter is that it’s not a question of what the President says; it’s a question of what are our objectives in Iran. The President’s Objectives, as he has said repeatedly, in his campaign, in his inaugural address and in his ridiculous speech in Cairo, is to negotiate with the Regime in Iran. What’s worst of all about this, looking at President Obama, is not only that he is being timid, he is being disingenuous. The real reason that he won’t speak out, has nothing to do with this argument that we don’t want to meddle, the Iranian Regime has and will accuse us of that regardless. The real reason for his position is that President Obama is determined to find a way to try and negotiate with the regime, with Khamenei with Ahmadinejad about their nuclear weapons program. This is a policy doomed to failure, but it explains why he won’t speak out about representative government and individual liberty in Iran.
Obama’s inexperience and naivety is frightening. In his inaugural address, he said, “To those who cling to power through the silencing of dissent, we will extend a hand”. Well that’s what’s going on here now. In addition, Obama’s reference to call an unelected, self- professed, ideological tyrant the "Supreme Leader" lacks intellectual heft and disparages the image of our Nation. The ignorance of President Obama to afford an autocratic menace this title was an unforgivable abomination. Obama’s abysmal judgment in this matter would be like FDR referring to Adolf Hitler as Mein Fuhrer, in his weekly Wartime address to the American people.
That policy is doomed to failure. I think the American Objective should be the overthrow of this regime, and the President is wrong for not helping lay the groundwork for this to happen. The students and people in the streets of Iran are very vulnerable, and American rhetoric, without American action, puts them in more danger.
This is what the demonstrations, the movement and the moment is about now. Its about the regime, there is an opportunity and as leader of the free world, Obama must seize it. Revolution is going to happen, one way or the other eventually, and this Theocracy will fall.

Obama's Apology Tour II
For a clear minded person to believe that President Obama’s naïve foreign policy platform has any chance to succeed, he would have to completely disregard: all prior knowledge, education, intelligence, historic precedent, common wisdom and sense of reality.
During President Obama’s recent Part II Apology tour speech, he made an offensive moral equivalency, which I feel, suggests delusional core beliefs which can only by attributed to an unexposed pathology. Obama spoke movingly about the Holocaust and the plight of the Jewish people confronting anti Semitism and then he said on the other hand you have to take into consideration the Palestinian people who’ve been displaced; as if the murder of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II was equivalent to the plight of the Palestinian People. Obama then went on to say that the Palestinian had the right to be upset at being displaced and that it is easy for the Israelis to point to the attacks on their people- as if these two things are morally equivalent as well.
Obama forgets the history of how the State of Israel came to exist, as the aftermath of the withdrawal of the British when the Arabs attempted to push the Jews into the Mediterranean. Keep in mind, that prior to Britain’s departure there were no formal, bordered Israeli or Palestinian States. It was the Arabs who rebuked and chose not to recognize, the British plans establishing two distinct separate homelands for the Jews and the Palestinians.
Prior to Britain’s segmentation of the Middle East, the Arabs existed as wandering tribes. Their failure to accept a Jewish State was based of hatred and had nothing to do with fairness. This is proven by the fact, that the rest of the Arab tribes, quickly claimed title and assumed sovereignty of the areas which had been apportioned to them by the British, even though these divisions had nothing to do with the ethnic compositions of the citizenries living within the newly established boarders. For instance, the vast majority of Jordan’s population is made up of Palestinians while Jordanians represent a minority of the citizenship. Yet, the ruling family fiefdom, with authority over the citizenship is Jordanian. Furthermore, the number of Palestinians within Jordan dwarfs the total amount of Palestinians surrounding Israel who allege they have been denied a homeland.
In my view, unrest in the Middle East is entirely driven by the underlying fact, that all of the Arab Countries in the region are governed by authoritative regimes who stop at nothing to remain in power. In turn, it is in their interest to use the Palestinians as a pawn to stir up hatred of the Jews and their Allies. This constant state of heated anxiety, propagated by Aljazeera and the Government controlled media, serves the purpose of displacing any potential manifestation of discontent which would occur if the citizens were afforded the prospect to reflect on their own lives. If the population’s of these Arab fiefdoms were ever given a break from this contrived unrest, the focus would undoubtedly shift to their lack of individual rights, the absence of free elections and the lack of available opportunities to improve their standards of living.
Obama’s performance vividly exposed his failure to properly read the region. His speech was a remarkable tone deaf, pandered to the audience who was in front of him and entirely disregarding history and America’s interests. He did NOT challenge them often; he talked about the great history of Islam for tolerance and then failed to dwell on the current intolerance which so often dominates the region.
