NDAA - Remember the record of the Sellouts - Very Disturbing

Dear lovers of freedom,

I first sent this information out in January 2012. Since then, I regretfully admit that in spite of our efforts, America has moved harder and faster in the wrong direction. I realize that many are now trying to figure out how to move forward, so it is important to remember who the culprits are. Many of those who have sold us out in one way or another will give lame excuses for their misdeeds.
Since the 2010 elections, many of the Tea Party candidates in Congress have been either co-opted or silenced. Allen West was written out of his district by republicans. (In spite of his many good stands on issues, West also vote for the NDAA)
The establishment players in the republican party at all levels has proven to be worthless as a formidable opponent of the left, but effective at neutralizing those who promote the idea of constitutional government.
These people must be recognized for who they are. They are not our friends. They are our adversaries. Unless we deal with them accordingly, much of this noble effort is nothing more than a waste of time.The time has long passed for us to play party politics. The party continues to demonstrate that we (conservatives) are nothing more than their mistresses. They court our votes, but they don't want to be seen in public with us.There are those who would like to convince us that we can adhere to the tenets of the U.S.Constitution while ignoring what the Bible says about how we should live and govern. Not so. It is precisely because of the abandonment of Biblical principle throughout American society that we find ourselves in the mess that we are in.
Consider these words as plans are made for moving forward.
Benjamin Rush (Signer of the Declaration): "Without the constraints of religion and social worship, men become savages".

Ben Franklin: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

James McHenry (Signer of the Constitution): "The Holy Scriptures can alone secure to society, order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government purity, stability, and usefulness. Bibles are strong protections, where they abound, men cannot practice wickedness."

I'm not impressed with politicians, but I can be impressed with their voting records and their convictions when they stand firm on them.
All elected officials, especially those who like to refer to themselves as "conservative" need to be held accountable. The time is overdue. Excuses for bad decisions can no longer be tolerated. Considering the ground that we have lost, as well as what we stand to lose in the near future, if you are in this fight, compromise of principle cannot be a consideration. Winning is the only option.

Same Sex Marriage, How Far We've Come

   No matter to how you slice it, TRUE conservatives don't support the homosexual agenda in ANY form. As a matter of fact, regardless of political persuasion, those who support decency and morality do not  support the Homosexual Agenda. Although same-sex marriage is the topic of discussion right now, it is unfortunate that many Americans are not aware of, nor have considered the endless ramifications to society as a result of the gradual acceptance the this perverted lifestyle as a societal norm.
    Dick Cheney is probably the most famous Republican who comes down wrong on this issue. Because he is classified as a conservative, many democrats/liberals like to use him as an example of why we should accept the normalization of the homosexual lifestyle.
    Mitt Romney now claims to be in favor of "traditional marriage" although same-sex marriage became law in Mass. while he was governor, and he recently appointed an open homosexual as a spokesperson for his campaign. TRUE conservatives may compromise on some issues, but in order to be qualified to wear ANY title, a standard must be upheld. On issues such as this, we have already allowed too much compromise, none of which should have ever happened. Many of us are defined as conservatives because of our positions on issues. Even within the definition of "conservative"  there exists sub-categories, and there is a consistent effort to blur the lines by those who don't want to admit that standards are necessary. What must be acknowledged as well as fought for vigorously, are standards of morality and decency in the general society. The standard of measure that has lasted through time are the precepts and principles of the Holy Bible. The opposition will say this is intolerant and bigoted, but ABSOLUTE TRUTH does not change. As well, those of us who believe in ABSOLUTE TRUTH must remain undeterred by name calling or threats.
   For a number of years, I and many others have warned of a time like this one, where those of us who believe in decency and morality would come under attack for simply trying to uphold standards that have throughout history been understood as true, and right.
   The debate of special rights for homosexuals began to rage at the beginning of Bill Clinton's 1st term. It was shortly before the 1992 elections when I first began to hear of this debate taking place. Many on the right were warning back then that if we accepted ANY normalization of the homosexual lifestyle in society,  the homosexual lobby would eventually push for same-sex marriage. At that time, the homosexual lobby claimed to only want fair treatment for its' constituency, and to be allowed to come out of the closet without being discriminated  against. In the 1990's, the position of  conservatives was that the practice of the homosexual lifestyle was a deviant behavior. As a result of continuous compromise, the debate has become what it is today. With the exception of those giving the warning, most people doubted that America would ever get to a point where we are discussing the idea of whether or not we should allow same-sex couples to marry, and many of those same people would never have believed that there would eventually be such an aggressive attempt to convince society that those who disagree with the promotion of this perversion are hate-filled  homophobic bigots, but this is how far we have come.
   Within the past 20 years,  homosexual lobby organizations like GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, and GLSEN (Gay,Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) have infiltrated the public schools systems across this country, and have succeeded in perverting the thinking of  this generation with the support of many elected officials on the local and state levels, including the NEA (National Education Association) and those working at the administrative level  in the public school systems. In some cases NAMBLA (the North American Man, Boy, Love Association) whose motto is "Sex by 8, or it's too late"has even had an influence on those promoting policies that are considered 'friendly' to the homosexual lobby. The sad reality is that many parents have no idea of the sexual deviancy that is being promoted to their children in the public schools through the curriculum. Some sex education classes have included explicit discussions on subjects such as masturbation, oral sex, how-to classes on condom use, and fisting.
   While many of these promoters of perversion would attempt to convince us that this is simply about allowing people to live their lives with dignity, the simple truth is, even if society fully accepted homosexuality as normal, these people would never feel satisfied. Many of those who are caught up in this lifestyle are confused, and often were victims themselves of some type of sexual perversion earlier in their lives. These people need healing and restoration, which can only come when one surrenders their heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. Since this utterance of Truth is politically incorrect, it has become nearly impossible to say this in the public square without getting shouted down by the opposition.
   I admit that I am not only disgusted by the promoters of this perversion, I am also disgusted by the lack of backbone by those who should be standing for decency and morality. In pulpits across America, each week so-called 'Men of God' remain silent on this issue, some out of ignorance, and some out of fear of persecution by the opposition. The rest of these so-called preachers are nothing other than pulpit pimps and  are fleecing the flock, whereas their only concern is for their bank accounts and their ministerial kingdoms. The truth of God's Word takes a back seat if it has any place at all in these edifices they call places of worship. 
    To stand for decency does not mean that one supports the maltreatment of homosexuals or anyone else, but it does mean that in American Society there are certain norms that exist. I and many others have issued this warning before and I'll do it again, "God is not mocked, Whatever man sows, he SHALL also reap." I take no pleasure in making statements like this. My great concern is for America and what we are becoming as we destroy ourselves from within. America is rotting at its' core. It is easy for some to cast off all that I am saying as hate speech, or exaggeration. All I ask you to do is consider where we were 20 years ago on this and other cultural issues, and look at where we are today, then ask yourself the question. What do you think America will look like if we survive another 20 years?

Lord Help Us

   It is interesting as well as disheartening to see so many people focused on the most trivial of issues as this election season heats up. 
   The democrat leaders are crying racism because states are passing Voter ID laws, claiming Newt Gingrich is a racist because of a couple of statements that he made, and demonizing Mitt Romney because he's rich. Republican leaders on the other hand are arguing about who criticized who. These are the guys that can't shoot straight. 
   While all of this foolishness is going on, the republican led house teamed up with the democrat led senate to finalize the abandoning of the US Constitution with the passing of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act), http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2011-932 , the president continues to work towards his goal of keeping the US dependent on foreign oil by rejecting the construction of the Canadian oil pipeline, and the  republicans signed on to give the president the OK to raise the debt limit another 1.2 trillion dollars.  Is this a bad joke or what?
   I listen to the talk shows with people calling in supporting their preferred presidential candidate while rarely considering where those candidates stand on the most crucial issues of this time. I don't know how to say this any other way.  IF WE DON'T GET THAT MARXIST OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND REPLACE HIM WITH SOMEONE WHO RESPECTS THE CONSTITUTION (NOT ROMNEY), WE ARE DOOMED. 
   For those of you who would like to fool yourself into believing Romney or Obama is good for this country, go right ahead. I'm simply trying to make you aware of what's coming. The handwriting has been on the wall for quite some time. I'm just amazed that so many "intelligent" people never learned to read.
If you have never seriously prayed for this nation before, I ask that you do so now.

A LINE IN THE SAND

   Several days ago, while listening to the radio, there was a discussion about a public school official telling the students all of the things that they can't do to celebrate the Christmas season. One host asked the other, how do they do that? My answer is because we allow it.
   When the average person finds out about Christmas celebration bans in their child's school, they have an initial reaction, then they go on with life as normal. Often there is not enough concern to find out which public official supports banning Christmas celebrations, or who supports / promotes political correctness.
   Unless Principled Conservatives are willing to draw a line in the sand, and  Americans continue to allow the warped thinking of certain elected officials, judges, and those promoting an anti-American agenda to succeed, these things will continue to happen.
   A couple of weeks ago the Christmas shopping season began and several retailers announced that they were opening on Thanksgiving night. Many so-called fiscal  conservatives see nothing wrong with the steady encroachment of commercialism into a holiday that is highly regarded as "a time for family." After all, it's all about the money, right? All too often, those of us who claim to have values, compromise them for expediency. Do you ever consider the irony of  a horrible economy with people trampling and pepper spraying each other to buy things that they don't need on credit?  I can understand some people not getting this, but we have so-called conservatives defending this foolishness.
   If this nation is to survive, at some point Constitutional Conservatives, and those who know and understand the truth of Holy Scripture must draw a line in the sand and say, NO MORE.
  How long will we tolerate the lies of those who would tell us that everything Christian is a violation of "the separation of church and state"  while we subsidize Islam, Wicca, and pornography/sex education in the public schools?  We not only need to elect people with the right positions, me must elect those who are willing to stand firm on their convictions and fight against the enemies of Truth and Freedom.
  Throughout this political season, we've had several Republican Presidential candidates come to the forefront for a while and fizzle out, but Mitt Romney has been a constant. As I've commented before, Mitt Romney is not a conservative, and I believe would be very dangerous to the survival of this nation. If he gets elected, I pray that I'm wrong.  And then there's Mr. Newt.
  I listen to those who make the argument that we have to get rid of Obama, and strongly I agree. So considering  that, my first question to my like minded friends is, What will you do if /when Romney doesn't defend life, or marriage,(same-sex marriage did become law in Mass. while Romney was Governor) or even worse, if /when he joins the opposition?
   What is Romneys' position on the promotion of Islam in the public schools. Will he stand with conservatives, or will he stand with those who promote Islam?  Will he continue to fund the N.E.A? Will he defend your 2nd Amendment rights? Will he continue to advance "patriot act" legislation that violates the 4th Amendment right to privacy? He has already said he supports "Cap and Trade" legislation. He double talks on his position of energy independence with his support of "Green Energy" policy.  He says he'll reverse obamacare, do you believe him? He says he'll protect the border, do you believe him? What about Judicial Nominees?
   And then there's Gingrich, who I believe is with us on the social issues, but how committed is he? Will he fight against the advancement of the homosexual agenda, or will he stab us in the back like G.W Bush did?  He was for "Cap and Trade" before he was against it. He supports an individual mandate for healthcare, but he's against obamacare. (LOL) He was for amnesty before he was against it and now he's for it again. Where is Newt Gingrich on the abuse of "Eminent Domain" policy, or reigning in the expansion of  U.N Policy.
   I only pose these questions to help you consider what we're up against. Regardless of what they say, Romney and Gingrich are not friends of  Principled Conservatives. Actions speak louder than words. The Republican establishment constantly give us these sorry choices and act as if there is something wrong with us if we point out the flaws, yet they consistently work against our choices, sometimes even sabotaging them. (Remember Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell)
   I could go on, but you get the point. If we stand for nothing, we fall for anything. We can complain and rally about the problems, but if things continue on in the wrong direction, there may come a time to draw that line. I pray that day doesn't come here in America, but if it does, the question you need to ponder is, where will you stand?

God Bless,

The Inmates Are Running The Asylum

    For nearly two months, the lamestream  media has played along with the charades in trying to convince the American public that these "Occupy" protests taking place across the country are just the result of  normal frustrated people letting their voices be heard. They have gone so far as to make illegitimate comparisons to the "Tea Party" protests. Anyone who pays scant attention to the reporting should notice the difference in these two protest movements.
    Beyond the obvious questions that the average thinking person has in trying to figure out why the lamestream media consistently ignores the problems that exists in front of their faces, one has to wonder just how committed to liberalism and political correctness those in the media are willing to be.
    On other issues, they attempt to convince the American  public there should not be any concern about the consistent encroachment of Islam as it is promoted as a "peaceful" religion. Never mind the fact that the vast majority of terrorist attacks have been done by Muslims, or people influenced by Islam. Then there are the aggressive attempts to normalize homosexuality, or as they have gone so far to say now, the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community. I'm quite sure it's every American parents dream that their child grows up to be a part of that group.  And lets not forget the Polygamists, the Wiccans, the Pedophiles, the Illegal Aliens,and the Enviro-nazis.
   According to the media, these are just normal people with an ax to grind. I sometimes wonder why these first class idiots don't ever take just a little time to imagine what this nation would really be like if they had their way.. For many of the common sense folks who are paying attention, we have a pretty good idea of what it would be like, because we see it in other countries, and we see small examples of it here in America. The "Occupy" protests are an example of  "The Inmates Running the Asylum". The curiosity that I have is, when will the majority of the decent people in America wake up?
    For years, those of us on the right have been warning of the "culture war" that has been taking place, and what is coming our way if we don't stand up and fight against those who would systematically destroy our country. Unfortunately, all to many people thought we were just alarmists. Amazingly, even today, people still tell me that.. I realize that there is simply nothing that can be done for some people. I just hope that if you're reading this, that you are at least aware that we have problems that are well beyond the norm. It's not to say that they can't be fixed, but if they are, it will require a major departure from the practices that are in place now.
   In the Presidential election of 1992, then President Bush made character an issue. At that time, many of us didn't get it, but since then, we have come to realize his point. Since that election, there has been numerous times that I have tried to help people understand the importance of authority figures possessing good character traits, yet many seem to have convinced themselves that "character is not necessary". Unfortunately, at this time America is paying a heavy price for that decision. We see it in the markets, in politics, and sadly, also in the church.
   In the past 20 years, we have raised a generation into adulthood that have been taught "character doesn't matter" and now,  many of them have had, and are having children, and the problem is perpetuating itself. We see it everywhere we go. On the job, the work ethic is desperately lacking. In school cheating is commonplace and in some cases assisted by the teachers.
   One thing that continues to amaze me  is that people get so upset when others do the raunchiest things in demonstrating the lack of character that was not considered to be important. It's a classic case of be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.
 

Conservatives Must Lead, Let the Moderates Follow

  I find it interesting in election after election conservatives continue to make the same mistake of rallying behind moderate/liberal candidates and expecting conservative results. In this primary election period, conservatives have an opportunity to select a candidate who clearly contrasts Barak Obama, yet I hear a constant drumbeat from many of the talking heads of a need for a continuous effort to jump on the Romney or Perry bandwagon at the exclusion of real conservatives. I realize that opinion polls matter, but this is the primary election cycle, and we (constitutional conservatives) need to carefully consider the ideas and records of each of these candidates and make up our own minds about who we believe will GOVERN as a conservative. We have found ourselves in this position before where we were so desperate to get rid of the democrat that we join in the "nominate the one who can win" crowd and regretted it for years.

   I hear this ongoing discussion about appealing to the independents. I am an independent. I am a conservative / independent registered republican, and republicans need to be concerned about appealing to me. Full disclosure: I am a Bachmann supporter.

   I regularly listen to Jeff Bolton, a talk show host on 570am KLIF-Dallas, and several months ago I recall him making a case for why he thought a Palin or Perry candidacy would be a terrible idea. While I don’t remember all of the details of his explanation, I do remember him making a good case for his position. Now amazingly, he seems to have recently jumped on the Perry/Romney bandwagon and joined the bash Bachmann crowd  because  of a statement Michelle Bachmann made in a press interview about the gardicil vaccine.
   Bachmann said that a lady came to her after the Tea Party/CNN debate and talked about the negative reactions her daughter had to the gardicil vaccine. According to Bachmann, the lady said that as a result of the vaccine, her daughter has suffered a mild case of mental retardation. (This has been a concern about vaccines by many parents in recent years) Bachmann then went on to talk about the violation of individual and parental rights by decisions such as Perry’s vaccine mandate. The news media and the establishment republicans quickly jumped on this opportunity to make Bachmann seem like she is against all vaccines, as they continue in their attempt to make her appear unelectable.
    It is no question that establishment republicans are as afraid of Bachmann as they are of Sarah Palin, and the real question that should be asked is why. I believe it is because they realize her conservative convictions are real, and she intends to do what she says in bringing back constitutional governance and gettimg rid of crony capitalism, something I haven’t heard Perry or Romney say. You would think most Americans would love a candidate who demonstrates a conviction about such issues.
   I, like many others, have issues of concern with all of the candidates, but I realize that in order to truly turn this country around we must elect someone who has a moral core, and has demonstrated a consistency in their decision making ability throughout the years that exemplifies a belief and understanding of the constitution from that core.
   As a conservative, I am carefully considering what the candidates voting records are on all the issues, and I also consider the things that I have to live with about the candidate that I don’t like. Of those things, I find that Romney’s inconsistency on the life issue, the 2^nd Amendment, his sellout position on homosexual marriage (it became law in Mass. while  he was governor), and his questionable commitment to effectively dealing with the illegal immigration problem, deal breakers, but we’re told he’ll be great for the economy.
   Rick Perry, on the other hand is a mixed bagged, and, in my opinion, more tolerable than Mitt Romney, but not much. Just think, had Debra Medina not made the PR mistake of a novice in the last republican primary, Rick Perry may not be the TX Governor right now. Consider that thought for a moment. Texans are sick of Rick Perry, but the closest thing he’s had to a real primary challenge was Debra Medina. While we consider Perry for US President, let’s imagine, if Perry could do to/for the country what he has done or tried to do to/for TX (i.e. Trans Texas Corridor, vaccine mandate, flip-flop border positions, support of in-state tuition for children of illegal immigrants), do you believe he would improve the country? Compared to Obama or Romney, possibly so, but look at what you have to stomach for that POSSIBILITY.
   I am not a blind Bachmann supporter, I have a few issues with her as well, but I consider that she is a stark contrast to Obama. She has consistently made a case for constitutional governance, and I believe her when she says she “will not rest until Obama care is repealed”, and that she is committed to getting rid of the many of the economy stifling regulations implemented by the Obama administration. By the way, how clearly does Perry or Romney speak in regards to these issues?
   Back to the independents. I am sick and tired of being the one to compromise my greatest concerns in order to appeal to people who lack any real conviction. If we nominate a strong conservative, the independents will have a clear choice. Vote for our conservative, or live with 4 more years of Barak Obama.
   The debate rages on about how important this next election is to “save America”. While I believe that is true, I don’t believe it will be accomplished by electing someone who is lacking in their commitment to conservatism. I realize that in politics compromises have to be made, but if WE continue to compromise on laws that violate our constitutional liberties, pretty soon we won’t have anything left to compromise, and the establishment republicans will still be telling us that the most important concerns are lower taxes and the economy.
    While the economy and lower taxes are important, it’s equally important to consider a few other issues. The republicans passed G.W Bush off as a conservative, yet he expanded the dept. of education. Did that help the economy? G.W. Bush also developed the dept. of Homeland Security, expanded the TSA to include passenger screeners, passed the constitution violating PATRIOT ACT, and expanded the national heritage areas legislation (re: americanpolicy.org) which violates private property rights, with the help of many of those so called conservative republicans. (Former “conservative” republican Sen. George Allen (VA) comes to mind)  I don’t know how much more of these tax lowering, constitution violating conservatives America can take.
   The question that I ask is how far to the left must America move as we compromise away our freedom, liberty, moral decency, and constitutional fidelity before the so-called conservative talking heads, as well as rank and file conservative Americans draw a line in the sand that applies to ALL politicians, not just democrats. If the line is NOT drawn, there is truly no reason to believe there will be any REAL change in the direction that America is going.
    I realize that many Americans feel desperate to get rid of Barak Obama, and I understand that feeling. I have consistently said that, I believe that the Obama Presidency has been a blessing in disguise because it woke so many people up. But if your decision is simply to get rid of Obama, it is even more critical that you elect constitutionalists to the Congress and the Senate, because the Romney/Perry type of republican, regardless of their rhetoric, is in many ways more dangerous to America than Obama, and truthfully, those types of republicans are no friend to constitutional conservatives.

Tea Party, Don't be hoodwinked

    As I listen to this continuous pap from these so-called conservative talking heads, I see what is shaping up to be another loss to true conservatives as many of them allow themselves to be hoodwinked by the republican establishment. The republican talking heads continue to complain as if the present field of republican presidential candidates are not suitable for the nomination.They act as if they don't believe that they are capable of beating Obama. They continue to throw out names like Paul Ryan or Chris Cristie as people they would like to see enter the race. Cristie has already made a bad choice in his New Jersey Supreme court appointment and at best is a political moderate, and Ryan has said he's not interested.

    I find it interesting that when republicans are out of power, the talking heads get so conservative, but when given an opportunity to elect one, they always choose a RINO. Do you find it interesting that even after  Michelle Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll, she has taken a back seat  to Rick Perry in the minds of the so-called right wing media? Isn't it interesting that Perry chose to announce his candidacy in S.Carolina on the day of the Iowa straw poll in which Bachmann was expected to win. Most Texans know that Rick Perry is only a conservative at election time, although he's been acting and talking conservative for a while because he's obviously been planning this  presidential run for some time. Four years ago, these same people were heavily promoting Mitt Romney and we all know what a strong conservative he is (LOL). 

    And what about Rick Santorum? Rush Limbaugh has said for years that the Republican party needs someone who can articulate the message. Santorum can articulate the conservative message better than most, and he does it with conviction. He makes his case based on historical facts, and it doesn't take much to be inspired his message, if one is willing to listen.

   Say what you want about Michelle Bachmann, she's fearless, she has convictions, and she can articulate the message. I've watched Bachmann and Santorum for years. They are the real deal. It will be a fight to the finish if TRUE constitutional conservatives are going to win in the end. The talking heads will need to be ignored in most cases, and we will have to stand on our convictions.

   I've heard some conservatives say that a Romney or a Perry will be so much of an improvement over Obama, that we could live with the disagreements. Really? How many times must we go down this road? Romney is a flip-flopping liar that can't be trusted on any issue that matters to constitutional conservatives, and so is Perry. Remember Perrys' support for the Trans-national corridor, Gardasil , and his flip-flop on illegal immigration after one of his previous re-election victories?  Yes, they are better than Obama, but that's not saying much. We wanted somebody better than Gore, so we ran to G.W. Bush and we ended up here. Tax cuts that expire, nation building in Iraq and Afganistan, an expansion of the Dept. of Education (No Child Left Behind), Border Wars, and the continuous expansion of the Abortion and Homosexual Agendas, and we continue to fund Planned Parenthood. 

   The real question is, did we progress? Did the ideals of constitutional conservative government advance or regress under 8 years of Bush? The honest answer is they regressed. Now we so desperately want somebody other than Obama, we're being told that we have to settle for either a liberal establishment republican posing as a moderate, or a moderate establishment republican posing as a "Tea Party" conservative.

  As we ponder these candidates, just remember the definition of insanity (to keep doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result). The Republican establishment only wants you to think about fiscal issues, but there are many other issues to be concerned about that can't be ignored, and can no longer be compromised on.

* We had this great debate about whether or not the gov't can constitutionally mandate individual Americans to purchase healthcare. Rick Perry attempted to mandate gardasil vaccines for 11 year old girls in TX public schools.

* Rick Perry tries to align himself with the tea party and says he supports securing the border, but he's soft on illegal immigration and supports in-state tuition for the children of illegal aliens.

* Rick Perry and Bush supported the Trans-Texas corridor which would have virtually erased the border between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada in order to create the Security, & Prosperity, Partnership.(see below)

In 2006, CNN anchor Lou Dobbs argued that the SPP was part of a plan to merge the United States, Canada, and Mexico into a North American Union similar to the European Union,^[12]. Dobbs claimed at the time that US President Bush, who left office on January 20, 2009, was to have bypassed Congress and ultimately create a Union based on a Texas highway corridor.^[13] One variation of this theory was that President Bush would declare a state of emergency to avoid leaving office, which, in fact, never came about; on January 20, 2009, his successor, Barack Obama, who had openly voiced misgivings about NAFTA, the predecessor to SPP, let alone SPP itself, took office as US President, but his anti-NAFTA views soon disappeared from his public persona.

"What differentiates the SPP from other security and trade agreements is that it is not subject to Congressional oversight or approval. The SPP establishes a corporate/government bureaucracy for implementation that excludes civil society participation. ... Facing a worrisome pact pushed forward in secrecy, it is time for Congress to halt this undemocratic approach and establish a process based on openness, accountability, and the participation of civil society.

On February 4, 2011, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and US President Barack Obama announced a new security and prosperity initiative. In it they planned to "to pursue a perimeter approach to security"^[24] "in ways that support economic competitiveness, job creation, and prosperity"^[24].

On March 13, 2011, the Canadian government announced it was beginning a five week consultation process "with all levels of government and with communities, non-governmental organizations and the private sector, as well as with our citizens"^[25] on the implementation of the shared vision for perimeter security and economic competitiveness."

As you can see this fight continues on. So just how conservative is Rick Perry? Not very.

As for Mitt Romney, he says he doesn't support for the country, that which he supported (mandated healthcare) for the state that he governed. Isn't that the opposite position most former governors take? He was for abortion and gun control  before he was against them. I won't waste a lot of time on this guy. You should know Romney is worthless.

My whole point in all of this is, in order to get all of the things that a constitutional conservative government brings, we must elect TRUE constitutional conservatives to office or else this whole exercise is futile. All to often the republican establishment boils everything down to dollars and cents. If this is all that matters to you, then ignore the other realities, but if you love America, weigh them carefully, issue by issue, and what you'll find is that, on the more serious constitutional issues, rhetoric aside, Obama, and Romney are too close for comfort, and Perry is not far behind.
