Is Conservatisim Dead

If your racial and ethnic voter base is aging, shrinking and dying, your moral code is being rejected, and the tax-consuming class has been allowed to grow to equal or to dwarf the taxpaying class, the Grand Old Party has a problem. But then so, too, does the country.

This is the last paragraph of an article written by Patrick J. Buchanan July 27,2012.  It is significant only because Mr. Buchanan has come forth with a truthful and accurate response to the problems within the Republican Party.  This is why the Tea Party is so strong within the party but completely unable to change the course by themselves.    IMHO the only chance for this country is for a unit of patriotic,  Constitutional, Christian Americans to get off their lazy asses and vote!

Read the article copied w/o Mr Buchanan's permission for a chilling saga of the future of America if my previous statement isn't fulfilled.

Since 1928, only Dwight Eisenhower and George W. Bush have won the presidency while capturing both houses of Congress for the GOP.
In his 49-state landslide, Richard Nixon failed to take either House. In his two landslides, Ronald Reagan won back only the Senate. Yet Mitt Romney is even money to pull off the hat trick.
With this hopeful prospect, why the near despair among so many Republicans about the long term?
In his New York Times report, “In California, GOP Fights Steep Decline,” Adam Nagourney delves into the reasons.
In the Golden Land, a state Nixon carried all five times he was on a national ticket and Reagan carried by landslides all four times he ran, the GOP does not hold a single statewide office. It gained not a single House seat in the 2010 landslide. Party registration has fallen to 30 percent of the California electorate and is steadily sinking.
Why? It is said that California Republicans are too out of touch, too socially conservative on issues like right-to-life and gay rights. “When you look at the population growth,” says GOP consultant Steve Schmidt, “the actual party is shrinking. It’s becoming more white. It’s becoming older.”
Race, age and ethnicity are at the heart of the problem. And they portend not only the party’s death in California, but perhaps its destiny in the rest of America.
Consider. Almost 90 percent of all Republican voters in presidential elections are white. Almost 90 percent are Christians. But whites fell to 74 percent of the electorate in 2008 and were only 64 percent of the population. Christians are down to 75 percent of the population from 85 in 1990. The falloff continues and is greatest among the young.
Consider ethnicity. Hispanics were 15 percent of the U.S. population in 2008 and 7.4 percent of the electorate. Both percentages will inexorably rise.
Yet in their best years, like 2004, Republicans lose the Hispanic vote 3-to-2. In bad years, like 2008, they lose it 2-to-1. Whites are already a minority in California, and Hispanics will eventually become the majority.
Say goodbye to the Golden Land.
Asian-Americans voted 3-to-2 for Obama, black Americans 24-to-1. The Asian population in California and the nation is growing rapidly. The black population, 13 percent of the nation, is growing steadily.
Whites, already a minority in our two most populous states, will be less than half the U.S. population by 2041 and a minority in 10 states by 2020.
Consider now the Electoral College picture.
Of the seven mega-states, California, New York and Illinois appear lost to the GOP. Pennsylvania has not gone Republican since 1988. Ohio and Florida, both crucial, are now swing states. Whites have become a minority in Texas. When Texas goes, America goes.
This year could be the last hurrah.
The GOP must work harder to win Hispanic votes, we are told. But consider the home economics and self-interest of Hispanics.
Half of all U.S. wage-earners pay no income tax. Yet that half and their families receive free education K-12, Medicaid, rent supplements, food stamps, earned income tax credits, Pell grants, welfare payments, unemployment checks and other benefits.
Why should poor, working- and middle-class Hispanics, the vast majority, vote for a party that will reduce taxes they don’t pay, but cut the benefits they do receive?
The majority of Latinos, African-Americans, immigrants and young people 18 to 25 pay no income taxes yet enjoy a panoply of government benefits. Does not self-interest dictate a vote for the party that will let them keep what they have and perhaps give them more, rather than the party that will pare back what they now receive?
What are the historic blunders of the Grand Old Party that may yet appear on the autopsy report as probable causes of death?
First, the party, intimidated by name-calling, refused to stop a tidal wave of immigration that brought 40 million people here whose families depend heavily on government. We needed a time-out to assimilate them and see them move out of the tax-consuming sector of the nation.
Republicans acquiesced in the importation of a new electorate that may provide the decisive votes to send the party to the ash heap of history.
Second, Republicans, when enacting tax cuts, repeatedly dropped millions of taxpayers off the rolls, creating a huge class that contributes little to pay for the expanding cornucopia of benefits it receives.
Third, the social revolution of the 1960s captured the culture and converted much of the nation. According to a new Pew poll, the number of Americans who profess a belief in no religion at all has tripled since the 1990s and is now one in five of our countrymen.
If your racial and ethnic voter base is aging, shrinking and dying, your moral code is being rejected, and the tax-consuming class has been allowed to grow to equal or to dwarf the taxpaying class, the Grand Old Party has a problem. But then so, too, does the country.


The chart below shows the US Population as of 2010 and it's breakdown.* 


The U.S. population's distribution by race and ethnicity in 2010 was as follows-due to rounding, figures may not add up to the totals shown:^[45]

Race / Ethnicity	Number	Percentage of U.S. population
Americans	308,745,538	100.0 %
White or European American	223,553,265	72.4 %
Black or African American	38,929,319	12.6 %
Asian	14,674,252	4.8 %
American Indian or Alaska Native	2,932,248	0.9 %
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander	540,013	0.2 %
Some other race	19,107,368	6.2 %
Two or more races	9,009,073	2.9 %

Using these figures it quite obvious to me there is absolutely  no reason whatsoever that BHO should be re-elected.  It's time for the true Christian, Conservative, Silent Majority to stand up for themselves! Dan Cathy of Chik-fil-A did and he is taking the heat and handling it!  As my loving wife would say to me, 
"Failure is NOT  an option!"

God Bless America!

There is No God......?

Respectfully pilfered from  an exchange between a college student and Ravi  Zacharias


Student: There is too much evil in this world; therefore, there cannot be a God!Speaker: Would you mind if I asked you something? You said, “God cannot exist because there is too much evil.” If there is such a thing as evil, aren’t you assuming that there is such a thing as good?Student: I guess so.Speaker: If there is such a thing as good, you must affirm a moral law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil.
Speaker: In a debate between the philosopher Frederick Copleston and the atheist Bertrand Russell, Copleston said, “Mr. Russell, you do believe in good and bad, don’t you?” Russell answered, “Yes, I do.” “How do you differentiate between good and bad?” challenged Copleston. Russell shrugged his shoulders and said, “On the basis of feeling – what else?” I must confess, Mr. Copleston was a kindlier gentleman than many others. The appropriate “logical kill” for the moment would have been, “Mr. Russell, in some cultures they love their neighbors; in other cultures they eat them, both on the basis of feeling. Do you have any preference?”Speaker: When you say there is evil, aren’t you admitting there is good? When you accept the existence of goodness, you must affirm a moral law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil. But when you admit to a moral law, you must posit a moral lawgiver. That, however, is
who you are trying to disprove and not prove. For if there is no moral lawgiver, there is no moral law. If there is no moral law, there is no good. If there is no good, there is no evil. What, then, is your question?Student: What, then, am I asking you?

Pretty much sums it up for me!

Pops,

These are the times...

I was surfing the tube the morning of the 4th.  I cliked on one of my favorite channels, The History Channel.  It was in the middle of a semi-documentary story of the Revolutionary War.  As has been said before, timing is everything.  In this case that statement was certainly true. 

I tuned in as General Washington was about to loose many of his soldiers because their enlistments were up.  Also, what I believe to be a little known fact was he had signed an order, at the insistence of some southern states prohibiting Negroes from serving in the Army.  General Washington, himself a slave owner but, also a soldier knew the value of the Negro soldier.  In raw numbers they comprised approximately 13% of his fighting force.  They were a motivated soldier as enlistment meant freedom. With the potential of loosing 50% of his enlistees and his Negro soldiers surly the cause of freedom for the newly formed United States of would be lost.

Seeing the situation of a de-moralized Army and citizenry who had witnessed several recent defeats Statesman and then war corespondent, Thomas Paine again took up the challenge  and cause.  Paine well known co-author of the Constitution and the Federalist Papers wrote and published The American Crisis.


The purpose of this post.  Never before, save, it original purpose does this document need to be read to all Americans. The hardship these Americans faced were nearly insurmountable. We face a like insurmountable challenge now. It needs to be read over and over and over until as with its original intent all Americans come together for the need of this great country we are all blessed to live in.  

All Americans, be they black, white, red, yellow, or brown of skin, be they from Africa, the middle east, Asia, or Europe we need to come together.  No longer for the good of ourselves however, for the good of this great nation we all call America. Not for ourselves we need to make the sacrifices but for the younger generations of Americans who deserve the same opportunities we have had.

Those of us who have traveled to impoverished foreign countries with  no running water or no electric need to convey, na, convince our neighbors, friends and anyone who has not seen this type of poverty.  We need to make them understand even our poorest of poor are far better off than those we have seen.  Those of us who have worked in major metropolitan Emergency Rooms need to convince those who push for unconstitutional health care taxes there is health-care for all Americans.  Taxing every Us Citizen is not the answer.  Those of us who hold down jobs and work to earn our way must convey to the "occupiers the checkbook will run out of money.  America will go down and no one will be safe.  It will be survival of the biggest, baddest and fittest.  If America falls the occupiers weak willed  mentality will be the first to be enslaved.

I request to you my fellow bloggers not just to read this post and and the "American in Crisis" but forwarded it to every site, person, friend liberal, progressive and a few people you don't know.  Post the link on your blog, or web site.  Circulate it like never before have you circulated.  As staunch a  Christian Conservative as I am we must come together with many many Americans or face destruction of America as we have known it.  We must not become another Rome, Ottoman Empire, or Great Britain.  We must not, we must not stand  by and be led down the path to that of a 3rd rate nation.  If America fails, the world fails as there in no place on Earth left to go.

God Bless America and God Bless you all!
