www.skegley.blogspot.com The Blog of Sam Kegley. Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot. Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post. For Christian American readers of this blog: I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them. We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any. The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God! A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate: "Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)." Thanks Jack! I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet. Showing posts with label Tea Party. Show all posts Friday, February 20, 2015 SamKat "I am a Tea Party guy"! Labels Tea Party No comments: America's voters proved how stupid democracies can become in 2008 and 2012. If they elect Hillary in 2016, they will once again contribute to America's decline. The Republicans have many excellent candidates for 2016; however they may kill themselves off in the unending debates the republicans insist upon. I am for an open convention to pick their candidate. I never like the special picks they put forward with so much PAC money to spend. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS REPUBLIC HAS BECOME MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN CAPABILITY. I am neither democrat nor republican. I am a Tea Party guy and such have won elections for repubs in recent years. I have attended Columbus Ohio gatherings in the last few years and have seen nothing of the sort bought by big money leftists in their demonstrations. I have seen patrioticAmericans who want this country baack on the road to God's Greatest Country On This Green Earth (Thank you Michael Medvid of the Answer radio 98.9 FM in Columbus, Ohio.

SamKat Labels Republicans, SamKat, Tea Party No comments: I am Tea Party much more than a Republican. We have no alternative choice. The secular progressive Democrats are more secular progressives that Democrats. Charles Krauthammer touts Abraham Lincoln, FDR, and MLK as three of the greatest for leading important causes during their times on earth in his book "Things That Matter"and I agree. I applaud Speaker Boehner's victory in the recent vote because he is Speaker of the House. But I don't want anybody putting down the excellent people of the Tea Party. Conservative, the TP people are, and Republicans are supposed to be. At this time in history there is no other way. Liberals are consistently putting politics ahead of our great country and ahead of the service people who have been wounded, killed, or otherwise injured in protecting our freedoms. God bless the Tea Party and, as Gary Burbank character Elmer Pitts used to say it: "God Bless Amurica!"

Thx Newsmax! Plus some SamKat thoughts Labels CPAC, Huckabee, SamKat, Tea Party No comments: I think a lot of Governor Huckabee and I am not libertarian, although I don't fully understand what a true libertarian stands for. The CPAC gave Rand Paul, a libertarian, their best mark at the convention./ I love his conservatism. I don't love the Republican claimed conservatism when they keep touting guys like Christie and McClain. Huckabee understands more the tough politics,, but he should realize that Tea Party candidates, who should also be assured, will not win as a third party. Soo, Republicans should wake up and welcome Sarah Palin, Rubio, Paul, and all Tea Party people into their voting booth to select the correct candidates. Be scared incumbent Republicans and Democrats in our Congress! The Tea Party will affect the upcoming elections and will rep[[resent our citizens of the USA! SamKat Mike Huckabee: Libertarianism Is Not Republicanism Monday, 10 Mar 2014 10:50 PM By Courtney Coren Share: A A | Email Us | Print | Forward Article | Get Short Link 0 inShare There is a strong libertarian presence in the Republican Party, which was reflected at the Conservative Political Action Conference, but libertarianism is not conservatism, says former presidential candidate and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. "CPAC is becoming increasingly libertarian over the past few years, and we saw that this year," Huckabee told Dick Morris, J.D. Hayworth and John Bachman on Newsmax TV's America's Forum on Monday. "Libertarians have a very valid point of view, and increasingly we're seeing a libertarian influence for the Republican Party. But pure libertarianism is not Republicanism," he added. "They're welcome in the Republican Party, but don't act as if somehow libertarianism is a purer form of being Republican." Story continues below video. The Arkansas Republican said, however, that he doesn't put all the blame for Republican losses on Libertarian Party candidates taking votes from GOP candidates "If 10 percent more of the social conservatives had voted in the 2012 election, Mitt Romney would be president today," Huckabee said. "They stayed home, in larger numbers, in part because they didn't feel like there was a message that really connected to them." Huckabee said that the solution for Republican candidates is not to stay away from social issues, because "by doing so, you almost ensure defeat." The former presidential candidate added that "a real conservative embodies the whole spectrum of conservatism, which is not only fiscal conservatism [but also] the idea that we need less government and the government we have ought to be more effective and more local."

Columbus Dispatch 1/21/2014 Labels Conservatism, Lee, Paul Ryan, Rubio, Tea Party SundayReview|OP-ED COLUMNIST At Last, Conservative Reform JAN. 18, 2014 Ross Douthat SAVE MORE IN American life, political ideas that lack partisan champions are regarded suspiciously, like an attempt to cheat at cards or pay for dinner with counterfeit cash. Because we have only two parties, because those parties are ideologically disciplined, and because everyone is obsessed with the other side’s unrighteousness, there’s a sense that if you aren’t fully on board with an existing partisan agenda, you don’t have any business getting mixed up in the debate. There is an exception for rich people who wish Michael Bloomberg could be president: they get to have gushing articles written about their boring, implausible third-party fantasies every four years. Everyone else is out of luck. If you’re a consistent libertarian, Naderite left-winger or social conservative who’s also an economic populist, it isn’t enough to make the case for your ideas; you must perpetually explain why, in the absence of a Libertarian Party or a Socialist Party or a Mike Huckabee presidential run, anyone should even care that you exist. And for the last few years, this same suspicion has attached itself to what had heretofore been a more mainstream group: conservative policy thinkers. The conservative policy larder was genuinely bare by the end of the Bush presidency. But that changed, reasonably swiftly, across President Obama’s first term. A new journal, National Affairs, edited by Yuval Levin, began incubating alternatives to a re-ascendant liberalism. The older magazines and think tanks were reinvigorated, and played host to increasingly lively policy debates. And a new generation of conservative thinkers coalesced: James Capretta and Avik Roy on health care, Brad Wilcox and Kay Hymowitz on social policy, Ramesh Ponnuru on taxes and monetary policy, James Pethokoukis on financial regulation, Reihan Salam on all of the above, and many others. By 2012, it was possible to discern the outlines of a plausible right-of-center agenda on domestic polity — a new “reform conservatism,” if you will. But the Republican Party simply wasn’t interested. Reform conservatism did have one partial champion in Paul Ryan, who co-sponsored the only plausible Obamacare alternative in Congress, and whose evolving Medicare proposal drew on ideas Levin and others had proposed. But Ryan was defined (and mostly defined himself) as Mr. Austerity rather than Mr. Reform. The rest of the party, meanwhile, was consumed by a Tea Party vs. Establishment rivalry that had a policy substrate but was just as often about posturing and score-settling. And then came the Romney campaign, about whose substance the less said the better. So a question has hovered over the would-be conservative reformers: If their ideas lack Republican champions, do they actually matter? Are they even worthy of debate? Or is reform conservatism basically a curiosity, an irrelevancy, a kind of center-right Naderism? Which is why the most consequential recent development for the G.O.P. might not actually be Chris Christie’s traffic scandal. It might, instead, be the fact that reform conservatism suddenly has national politicians in its corner.
