What The Hell Do You Stand For?

The problem with Conservatism today is not a failure of ideas, it is a lack of leadership.  The leadership of the Republican party does not seem to respect the foundation of their own party.  The "far-right radical" base stands for Liberty, Freedom, smaller government and Individual Rights and States' Rights; yes, we know....such extreme positions.

Here is the deal within the Conservative and Libertarian movements; we have been abandoned by all possible factions of any powerful party at this time (except the Libertarian Party that currently lacks the pull to make changes desperately needed.)  What is the Republican Party when it lacks its' Conservative and Libertarian roots?  There is no base left in the Republican Party, we are left alone, out here, battling among ourselves while trying to organize in some fashion to make an impact.  And, being the most passionate of the Conservative and Libertarian causes, we argue like brothers and sisters.  Deep down, we know that we share some common causes, yet we lack any semblance of organization.

Silver Linings of an ObamaCare Bomb

Today, there is a glimmer of hope for Conservatives.  After all, we are being proven right left and right with Obamacare and its' disastrous rollout, implementation and "unintended" consequences.   But, most of us already knew this and have expected it since March 23, 2010.  For over three and a half years, we have fought, screamed, protested, written, called, and been insulted.  But, I digress... The true hope begins with Democrats.  Lead by the government shutdown and attention brought to Obamacare, Democrats are beginning to waiver on their support of Obamacare.

First, I read the following on Fox News.com this morning:

"House Democrats delivered a fix-it-or-else ultimatum Wednesday to President Obama, giving his administration until Friday to find an affordable solution for the millions of Americans losing their health plans under ObamaCare -- or risk some Democrats backing a Republican solution."
