GOP chair changes tune, says party will take back Congress

Which way is the wind blowing today, Michael?

You wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of the wind.

Agree with you. We’ve been beating up on our own too much lately. Glenn Beck just got a hiding. One word out of place and they’re lamb-basted. They’re getting to the point that they don’t know what to say to please us which is why he came back and restated what was in actuality not true. That said - we do need them to stay upbeat like the other side who are consummate liars.

Maybe it’s time for him to go.

I’ll tell any RNC operative that calls me the same story: Not one penny until I see adherence to conservative principles. Who needs the RNC, I want solid conservatives who believe in limited government, individual liberty, strong national defense, and tax cuts. If the RNC can do that, fine, if not, that’s fine too.

If the GOP is to win the Congress and/or the Presidency, it must have leaders who, as I posted on another thread today, have immersed themselves in the ideas and principles of America's Founders, as Reagan had, to the point that those principles come naturally in speech and action.

Such leaders would be as revolutionary today as were the Founders in 1776, because Americans are faced with the same tyranny and oppression the colonists endured at the hand of a powerful tyrannical government and ruler.

For the first time in America's history, the oppressive hand has become so visible, so tyrannical, so apparently out of touch with the people, that citizens may, once again, be able to exercise the power left to them by their Constitution.

But, they'd better hear a clear trumpet call from a leader who is genuine, devoted to principle, and an authentic patriot for the cause of liberty! Else, this moment may never return.

GOP, are you listening?

Visit this site to obtain a volume whose title essay contains these words from Justice Story's "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," as follows:

Joseph Story (1779–1845)

"If these Commentaries shall but inspire in the rising generation a more ardent love of their country, an unquenchable thirst for liberty, and a profound reverence for the constitution and the union, then they will have accomplished all that their author ought to desire. Let the American youth never forget that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capable, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence. The structure has been erected by architects of consummate skill and fidelity; its foundations are solid; its compartments are beautiful as well as useful; its arrangements are full of wisdom and order; and its defences are impregnable from without. It has been reared for immortality, if the work of man may justly aspire to such a title. It may, nevertheless, perish in an hour by the folly, or corruption, or negligence of its only keepers, THE PEOPLE. Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people in order to betray them."

JOSEPH STORY, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," 2d ed., vol. 2, chapter 45, p. 617 (1851). This passage was not in the first edition, but in all later editions.

Does not his last sentence seem familiar in 2010?

great post

Note to Steele: “You’re fired, now get out!”

If it happens, it won’t be the result of anything he did.

Absolutely, my focus is NOT on Steele.
