Stop Global Laming

If conservatives want to get serious about actually winning some elections in the near future, then they had better be willing to do some heavy lifting beginning today. As I have iterated over and over again, the biggest problem with the Republican Party is that it presently stands for nothing; this, again, complicates the major marketing problem that the conservative movement has. Notice how I have to separate the GOP and the conservative movement – pathetic, is it not?

The biggest enemy of the GOP is itself – many of its prominent members simply do not stand for conservatism; instead they want to out-liberal liberals and try to retain their power by promising better goodies than the Democrats. Here’s today’s most glaringly obvious example of this truth:

As the Hot Air article points out, Representative Joe Knollenberg is a Republican Congressman, yet he says outright that our own Government’s “money does not belong to [us, the citizens]!” How can the GOP look itself in the mirror and say “I believe in small, accountable government” when it lets it representatives get away with saying utterly un-American things like that? All of the Government’s money belongs to the people of this country, regardless of what Barney Frank and Joe Knollenberg think.

We finance all of it, and to say that “it doesn’t belong to us” is an outrage. Has it sunk in to all of you what the problem is yet? We can’t differentiate ourselves from the now majority party, the Democrats, if we sound exactly like them! The rest of Congressman Joe Knollenberg’s positions are irrelevant; the mentality that the Government’s money does not belong to the people who are willingly governed provides us with abundant justification for kicking this man’s ass swiftly out of the Republican Party.
