I've got an idea - thinking smiley with light bulb

This is an open thread. You are invited to add your own suggestions and advice, and to discuss whatever else you like.

1. It is NOT your job to pander to whatever nonsense the voters have been told that they should want. As soon as you let the leftist media and academia define the terms of the debate, you have already lost.

Instead, it is your job to follow in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan by EDUCATING your constituents about which policies make sense and which don’t, and WHY this is so.

That is the difference between a venal political hack and a statesman.

2. Islam is NOT a religion in any sense of the word that America’s founders understood a religion to be. Instead, it is an expansionist, enemy, totalitarian political ideology that is very much akin to National Socialism (Nazism), and that seeks to rid the world of everything but itself.

Be ready to deal with Islam much as we dealt with Nazism seven decades ago – except more thoroughly this time around.

3. The Constitution is intended to limit the power and activities of the government. Respect those limits, and stop looking for loopholes.

4. Socialism violates the US Constitution. If you genuinely believe that socialism is a good thing, then put your money where your mouth is, drop out of the US political scene, and move to North Korea.

5. Be prepared to re-evaluate all government programs and actions. If you, or your predecessors, have made a policy error, be a big enough person to admit it, and to do whatever is necessary to roll it back and reverse it completely.


Progressives historically smear Republican Presidents

The Progressive control of academia has lead to a historical smearing of Republican Presidents. Democratic Presidents are usually ranked higher through an undisclosed method. For example, Woodrow Wilson is considered a top 10 President. This is laughable since his Progressive polices collapsed the economy. His racist based intervention in Latin America damaged our reputation there permanently. He was a supporter of the KKK and segregated the armed forces. Ronald Reagan is not given his due. Despite he engineered America’s Cold War victory. This is bias pure and simple on the part of the left.

According to a University of Miami study, those historical rankings of American presidents that pop up every year or so are significantly weighted in favor of Democrats, thanks to the liberal leanings of academia.

Political science professor Joseph E. Uscinski, one of the study’s authors, said the new analysis shows that the overwhelmingly liberal academic community consistently ranks Republican presidents about 10 spots lower than the public would.

“I don’t think anyone is surprised,” Mr. Uscinski told The Washington Times. “Among the political scientists and historians that I work with, Democrats outnumber Republicans 8 to 1.”

[….]

In the C-SPAN rankings – the focus of much of the University of Miami analysis – Reagan in 2009 broke into the Top Ten, behind Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Thomas Jefferson, Dwight Eisenhower and Woodrow Wilson.

But on other surveys, the late conservative icon falls much lower. A 2010 Siena College poll has Reagan at No. 18, behind Bill Clinton, Lyndon Baines Johnson and Barack Obama.

These surveys have no credibility. Anyone who things a failure and evil monster like Woodrow Wilson or a psychopathic liar like LBJ are better than Reagan are outright lying. Academia has a Progressive bias and can’t be trusted. They are just an arm of the Left’s propaganda indoctrination.

One of my favorite books

I usually criticize the GOP to the chagrin of some here. I do so because I was raised as Republican by my Grandfather. Back in the 80’s the GOP was about economic opportunity. They were tough on crime and were standing up to Communism. Unfortunately this is not the GOP of today. Today America faces economic stagnation and an Islamic threat. With few exceptions, the modern GOP doesn’t address the economic problems and doesn’t view Islam as a threat as they viewed Communism. Granted the Democrats are outright evil and want to transform America into a 3rd world nation, but the Republican Party can and should do better. It needs to go back to Reagan era principles to combat economic stagnation and the Islamic threat.

On that note, here is one of my favorite books, Ronald Reagan: The Wisdom and Humor of the Great Communicator. This book came out in 1995. I was in Manhattan doing a DJ gig at the old Latin Quarters. I had read that Nancy Reagan was doing a book signing around 11am at a Barnes and Noble. I crashed at my cousin’s house in Queens because by this time I was living out on Long Island with my then fiance. I went to the book signing and was online for 2 hours. Finally it was my turn and I got her signature.

It was a very proud moment of my life. I grew up admiring Reagan and his style of Conservatism. That’s why I am saddened by the state of today’s GOP. Elected Republicans are supporting the Islamic agenda by backing the illegal Libyan War to help Al-Qaeda. They turn a blind eye to the killing of Christians in Egypt. A modern Reagan would be condemning these Islamic atrocities and speaking out on the evils of Political Islam. A modern Reagan would address the economic concerns of America with practical Conservative based solutions.

I sometimes wounder, will we ever have Reagan-like President again? Is America just going the way of other great powers? It’s possible we are going through what Rome went through in the 3rd Century crisis, until Aurelian appeared and brought back order.

I just want to be proud of my President. I want to know that their concern is the nation and not academic theories. I will back whoever the GOP run against Obama, but I’m tired of not liking our President. I didn’t like Papa Bush, Clinton, or Baby Bush and I hate Barack Hussein Obama. I want to like a President again and know they are looking out for this nation’s interest. Is this too much to ask for?

Obama as 'Il Douche'

The earth is not your mother - it's just a big rock!

Uh oh!

Despite my infamous talent for inflammatory rhetoric, I find that no language offers words bad enough to convey my evaluation of the current political and economic scene.

Your mileage, however, may vary. Let me offer a few graphics that may suit your tastes. In an effort to abide by the written policy at 1389 Blog, I’ll try to keep it reasonably clean.

Some of these images are of unknown origin. If you can identify where they came from, please let me know.

Reagan Billboard: Remember REAL Hope and Change?

North Iowa Tea Party

This billboard was put up by the North Iowa Tea Party. Even in the rather mild form shown here, it caused some very heated controversy. Had I designed the billboard, I would have put “International Socialism” over the photo of Lenin, and “Jihadi Socialism” over that of Obama. But then, I push the envelope just a little bit further.

Firefighter catches heat for anti-Obama stickers

Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot

A firefighter says he is in hot water with his department after his supervisors noticed his anti-Obama bumper stickers and banned him from parking inside the firehouse based on his political views.

“It’s freedom of speech as far as I’m concerned,” Hartford, Conn., firefighter Mike Di’Giacomo told WFSB-TV. “This is my personal vehicle.”

Di’Giacomo has worked for the fire department for 10 years. He said a supervisor noticed his stickers and told him he could not park his SUV inside the firehouse, something his fellow firefighters are allowed to do.

The bumper stickers read:

  • Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot.
  • I’ll keep my guns, freedom, & money … you can keep the ‘change!’
  • Obama Bin Lyin’. Impeach Now!

Read the rest.
