Who're You Calling Extreme????

They call us right-wing extremists, we who believe in and uphold the Constitution. I hate to break it to all you "progressives" out there, but America, as it was founded, is the center point from which all right/left labels are added. The Constitution has been the catalyst for creating this grand nation you see around you. Do you think you have the wisdom to change or circumvent this document, as do the progressives and both major parties of congress, and produce a better result? I think not. The tenants for which we stand don't change to grow our base, as the system created by our founding fathers has been proven through the prism of history to be the most
proficient at creating the most wealth and freedom for the most people.


Right of center would be when people try to impose strict religious mandates on others. Yes, our country was founded in Judeo-Christian ethics, which is the foundation for our laws and the "civil society," but it should not be Taliban-like. This is a very difficult subject, as you have to balance morality with the right of individuality.


This being said, I believe abortion is straight-up murder, regardless of religious beliefs. Some of the first cells an embryo develops are beating heart cells. The embryo also has the DNA code of a unique human being and is not simply a part of a woman's body for which she can argue for control. I have listened to a firsthand account of an abortion from a doctor who used to perform them. The words alone turned my stomach! "Pulling til' something gives... holding a six-inch arm... on a bad day (many of those), a small face looking up at me... nightmares..." "Pro-choice," in reality, is a less involving term for pro-abortion. If you support policies that allow for lack of personal responsibility, or as Obama put it, saddled with a mistake for life, then you are directly responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of babies!! The argument of "I wouldn't kill my baby, but I don't mind if you kill yours," is just as immoral as the crimes people are serving life sentences for.


The subject on gay-rights is much less cut and dry. For people who have a Christian based religion, it is pretty straight forward in the Bible that a man lying with a man is an abomination to God. It does amaze me-- the number of people who support gay rights that claim to be Christians or Catholics. On the other side of that same coin, Jesus gave every person a choice as to what path to follow; right or wrong, so should we stand in the way of these individual's happiness? My personal views are a little conflicting. On one hand I want government to stay out of Americans' lives as every piece of legislation the government writes, whether pro or con anything, takes away freedoms from all Americans. On the other hand I don't view the gay lifestyle as "normal or healthy." I have known and been friends with gay people and they all came from very traumatic childhoods, which tells me homosexuality is a response to environmental conditions rather than a choice or something you're born with. I am against gay marriage simply because I don't want my children to see this as "normal" behavior. I don't think legal unions should be contested, as people that make a lifetime commitment and love each another whether considered normal or not, should get the same insurance benefits, etc., as every other couple. Either way this issue is not a deal breaker for me, as I don't hate on anyone. There are much bigger issues at the present time which risk the very future of our republic; sadly the people that would oppose me on the previous issues would gladly let these happen to win on "social" issues!


The left of center covers a very broad spectrum, not because most Americans support or believe in what the left stands for, rather the left supports any and every group it can to increase it's number of supporters to stay in power.


The progressives support illegal immigration. Why? Quite simply because these immoral politicians can rely on political support from non-citizens. Democrats and R.I.N.O.'s are constantly trying pass legislation to give illegals more voting rights, from no proof of I.D. legislation to complete amnesty. Illegal immigrants can legally vote in some local and state elections, and have been documented to have influenced federal elections by voting illegally.
Leftists also fight to give illegals access to entitlement programs (medicare, medicaid, social security, etc.) that we the taxpayer get stuck holding the bill for. Do I feel bad that illegals are hungry, or don't have adequate housing and health care? Yes-- who wouldn't? The leftists play on your sense of guilt to push their self-serving agenda. The fact is, if you are here illegally, you are a criminal! If, because you commit a crime, you can't feed or otherwise care for yourself or your kids, who's fault is it? First and foremost it's the fault of the immigrant for making the decision to enter this country without going through the proper channels. Second it is the fault of the power hungry politicians for encouraging people to break the law! Is this good for America? That would be an obvious no. Is this good for the career of democrats? Not if I have anything to say about it! Yet again there are too many Americans that are willing to support these corrupt politicians. It would be entirely off base to call me a racist for these comments which are based on common sense and the law. I was raised in San Antonio, TX, and the majority of my friends were Mexican. I love the Mexican culture ( or maybe Tex-Mex) and crave a vacation back to the area.


The leftists, or statists, are also ushering in an era of marxism, fascism, socialism, collectivism, anti-capitalism, anti-free markets under the guise of helping to fix multiple crises either made up by government or caused by government intervention. Bill Clinton removed from the White House security clearance application an affidavit stating that the applicant was not, nor was ever a member of the communist party! Half of Obama's cabinet would not have passed this little test had Clinton not omitted the affidavit. Perhaps not even Obama himself! Imagine, a president without clearance to enter the White House! Obama speaks highly of the redistribution of wealth (taking from the earned and giving to the earned-nots) which is Marxist. He believes big profits are evil and he and his pay czar erroneously seem to think they have the wisdom and the authority to decide when people in the private sector are earning too much. Tim Geithner, Obama's Treasury Secretary, is a tax cheat. Obama's science czar, John Holdren believes in mass sterilization and forced abortions for population control, and is a believer in man-made global warming, even sited as being involved in the climate change e-mail scandal. Holdren also has said that they could use climate change as a vehicle for redistributive policies (anti-capitalist, anti-free markets). Anita Dunn, Obama's White House Communications Director, told a high school class that the philosophers she looks to the most for guidance are Gandhi and Mao, the latter being responsible for the death of 40-70 million Chinese. Obama's manufacturing czar, Ron Bloom, said that "the free market is nonsense. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun." Yes, there's more. Much more. Obama's Green Jobs Czar,Van Jones, is a self-avowed Communist, was arrested in the L.A. riots, found "mentors" in prison that he wished to emulate, studying Marx, Lenin, and Mao with them, signed a petition agreeing that the Bush administration were the perpetrators of 9/11, etc. Obama himself was involved in communist groups in college and had many radical mentors. This is who Obama is; Marxist, Fascist, if not Socialist, anti-Capitalist, anti-free markets, anti-individual freedom/responsibility.


The liberals also work very hard to propagate the notion that minorities are victims of the system. The left offers handouts and says, "You can't make it on your own. Here, let us take care of you. Rely on us. We'll make the successful pay for the injustices done to you." The lives of these poor saps don't improve by any measurable amount, yet the liberals tear down and punish the producers, which in some sick way makes the poor happy. In doing this the government loots tons of money from the rich, wasting it on anything they can conjure up, while purposely creating a dependency class. They have made government dependency into a constituency! "Give me my extra twelve dollars a month, I'll vote for you." To the true conservative, everyone is an American, regardless of race, sex, or religion. I would say the biggest "agenda" we have is promoting personal freedom/responsibility. If you are an American, you have the freedom to be anything/ do anything you want as long as you take the responsibility for your own life and work hard to get there. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that the discrimination of minorities does not happen, but you can't use that as an excuse to forever stay under the boot of big government. As a white male I have been the victim of reverse discrimination several times over. Was it fair that I was discriminated against? No. I realized what I was up against, worked harder and was more persistent until I succeeded instead of giving up or screaming discrimination. Conservatives believe minorities should not be given special treatment, since they have the same freedom to fail or succeed as do non-minorities. There are plenty of black Americans that drive the best of luxury vehicles, and live in the nicest houses, so you can't tell me it can't be done. Liberals promote racial tension through the focusing on race and the plights they create by producing the "entitlement class". Minorities don't want to be treated differently because of their skin color, yet liberals create legislation that treats people differently based on what? That's right-- skin color, sexuality, or whatever group they can leverage for political support. The most frustrating part is that because we conservatives believe all Americans should be treated equally, and are opposed to affirmative action and hyphenated anything-American, we are considered racist. We are all Americans!!!


Progressives also love to trash the Bill of Rights. The Constitution is the law! When the Constitution says that we have the right to bare arms, that's exactly what it means. No interpretation necessary, no reasons (hunting, etc....) necessary. The right to free speech is also guaranteed in the Constitution. Like the ghosts of the former U.S.S.R., the progressives are trying to silence any opposition to their Marxist agendas. The first recent attempt on the life of free speech was the "fairness doctrine". It was said that conservatives' majority market share in talk radio was not "fair" to the progressives. Out of all network news companies, there is only one conservative based channel, Fox News. The rest might as well be run by the Obama administration. On the radio, NPR has a more than one hundred percent market placement, being on multiple stations simultaneously in both the A.M. and F.M. bands. This station is as leftist as it gets, and my tax dollars are unfortunately supporting them! Now they have a Diversity Czar in the FCC, that plans to take from private radio companies and give to minority owned stations to make it "fair", and has the unconstitutional authority to do this through fees and regulation. This attack has been orchestrated by congressional leaders as well as the President of the United States! These people gave an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution !!!!! Why are they not in prison??!!!!!


The four most economically failed states in the country are run by whom? Liberals. California, New Jersey, New York, and Michigan all have high unemployment, high deficits, and major budget shortages. The cause? Taxing the rich and businesses to pay for the entitlement class and other liberal agendas has caused an exodus of "producers" from these states. This in turn causes a major drop in government revenues since they rely on such large portions of these people's earnings. This in turn causes the liberals to do the only thing they know to grow revenue- raise taxes. The vicious cycle continues. Liberalism has been proven to not be viable, as the only reason these states are still afloat is because of the funds the federal government loots from productive, responsible states, which get funneled to these failed liberal entities. I could sit and write about the failings and disingenuous, immoral antics of the liberals until the server melts, but the fact is these "progressives" are so far to the left, that the idea of the individual being free to succeed or fail according to their willingness or lack thereof to take responsibility for their own decisions and actions, "appear" to be so far to the right that they have erroneously lost sight of it.


Liberals support all this... and call us extremists?
