Our country has been taken over by radical leftists. They are interested in radically changing our country, regardless of whether we want it or not.
It is clear the Democrats do not represent a majority of Americans. It is also clear that the Republicans talk it, but when given power, they do not walk it. This is why so many Americans are not affiliated with a political party. A majority of Americans are conservative, whether they identify themselves with that label or not.
The message to political parties is being said loud and clear from the Tea Party movement: We are sick of both of you, Republicans and Democrats. There are elites in both parties who feel they have the right to rule over us commoners. Politicians are bought off by special interests because they need millions to run for reelection. The folks sit on the sidelines and are the ones hurt.
Lessons the Average Traditional American Must Learn.
1. You must get involved. We cannot leave political parties to the leeches who profit off it at our expense. We must get involved in the Republican Party and work to find and elect good candidates.
2. You must donate to worth candidates. Politics right now is a game about money. Ron Paul supporters have been doing “money bombs” and raising a lot of money.
3. Educate yourself on how this whole process works. Politics is a rough game. Traditionalists are just regular folks who work to provide for themselves and their family and just want to be left alone. We must learn how to navigate the political system. Connecticut Resistance will teach those willing to learn.
Who Should Make up the New Republican Party
1. Ron Paul supporters. We have a Two-Party System. The Republicans can be the party of true representation and implementation of the Constitution.
2. Conservatives. President Reagan was elected on a strong conservative coalition of pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, small government, and a strong national defense. We really have not had a home since. The establishment in the GOP keeps marginalizing us and keeps losing badly. WE can no longer sit it out. We must vote in primaries and get real candidates into the nominations and winning the general election.
3. Pro-Lifers. Liberals have shown their stripes recently. The House proposal for government controlled health care reform (which is not) shows the left believes in euthanasia, forced abortions, and the “Death Panels” (Thanks Sarah Palin). Liberals have no regard for life and they show it.
4. Anti-government Pro Choicers. There are two distinct types of people who call themselves pro-choice. The first, which we have no interest in, is the abortion-on-demand crowd. This group is about 20% of the population. These people oppose any limitations on abortion at any time.
The group that should be included in the new Republicans is the anti-government pro-choicers. These people are consistently anti-government. They just enough government to protect us from anarchy. Deep down inside these people want individuals making their own decisions because they are best equipped to do so.
What Do These Two Ideologies Have in Common?
The real question is not Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. The question is what is the role of government in this process. Pro-Lifers believe life begins at conception and that baby is as worthy as its mother of being protected with civil rights. The question is at what point is a fetus definitely a human being and thus worthy of having the same protections as the rest of our citizens.
This question must be answered and addressed. We had the US Supreme Court decide to take this issue on. The people have to decide this matter. It is time in America when we have this conversation and come to some consensus if there is one to be had.
Grover Norquist said it best in his book Leave Us Alone that if you believe a fetus is a baby then it deserves legal protections. If it is not, then the government has no right to be involved in the process. This is a good assessment of the debate between these two new Republican groups.
What Do Most Americans Believe on Abortion?
1. Abortion is a Serious Matter. This notion that a woman can just terminate a pregnancy and resume life is patently false. There are serious potential ramifications: emotional trauma, physical trauma, and the inability to have children again. If abortion is going to be legal, we should treat it as the very serious issue it really is.
2. Abortion Does Not Exist for Contraception. Sex is a responsibility with consequences, just like life. With the right to have sex comes the responsibility to behave like an adult. There are many women who have one abortion and never recover physically and/or emotionally. Taxpayers should not be funding elective abortions. Too many Americans resent this policy.
3. Parents Must Consent to a Minor Having an Abortion. Young girls are not equipped to handle these types of issues. Parents are responsible for their children until they are 18.
4. There Should Be a Waiting Period for an Abortion. Since the issue is so serious and so significant, if women are going to have one, they should be granted a day or two to make sure it is the right decision for them. The issue is so serious that someone should not make such a decision in haste. Women should also be offered an ultrasound to help in her decision.
5. Abortion After Viability Should Be Banned. We know that a baby can survive outside its mother after about 20 weeks. At that point, it is clear it is a human being.
6. There Should Be Circumstances Where The Government Must Stay Out of the Process.
There are some times where the government should not have a mandate or a law to deal with the situation. In situations where the pregnancy was conceived against her will, government should not mandate the woman keep the baby. Conservatives want limited government and having laws in this situation violates the concept of limited government. In situations where the woman’s life or well being is in jeopardy, the individuals involved must be fully informed and make decisions that are in their best interest. The message is clear: Individuals must make tough decisions.
This policy does not mean that pro-lifers cannot advocate their beliefs. In fact one of the best things that pro-lifers do is help women in crisis with private funds. The A Better Choice center in CT is an excellent example of this. They help women keep their baby and assist them in doing so. They walk the talk.
Government cannot pass a law to end bad behavior by individuals. We have a huge drug problem in America and thousands of Americans kill themselves with drugs, alcohol, and the like everyday. As much as we would like to never have abortions, we must win our culture back first.
The people who win in this unending Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice debate is the radical abortionists. The Traditionalists fight over words and they continue with taxpayer funded elective abortions, abortions when the baby can live outside their mother, and the like.
Another issue in this is what is the role of the federal government. Under our Constitution, the 10th Amendment leaves matters not explicitly in the Constitution to the states. If the United States wants a federal blanket policy on abortion, we must pass a Constitutional Amendment on it. This requires 67 Senators and 290 Congressmen to pass it and 38 states to ratify it. Americans should have an open and honest discussion on this matter.
5. Second Amendment Supporters. The Second Amendment is one of the clearest rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Our government does a horrible job of teaching the Constitution. The point of the Second is for states to be able to defend themselves. Our government is designed to have a small and limited central/federal government. The states must care for themselves. The best way to do so is for its citizens to be well-armed and be able to form militias as needed. Back when our country was founded, we needed militias of citizens.

I do not agree with all that Ron Paul says, however, I believe he is possibly the most honest politician we have. I also do not believe that abortion is right or just. When we take the life of the most innocent and most vulnerable of our society what does that say about us. Personally I equate it with a bully to always attacks someone smaller and less capable of protecting himself. With all of the families who want children and cannot conceive why is it that if we for any reason find ourselves pregnant we cannot be kind enough to that child who will be the victim of murder, instead be carried to term and be put up for adoption. It is not like years ago that if a woman became pregnant without being married society was abhorred. And it has scientifically been proved that a baby from conception is a human being. Check it out.
What would happen if you did not pay your taxes, could you just forget it. Tell the IRS “sorry”. You could go to jail. If not paying taxes is so serious how serious do you think your obligation to carry this child to birth and let a loving family give it a good life. You never know who you may be killing. Perhaps someone who would have done great things for society. Think about it. And above all lets take our children back, take our schools back. And fear, for your life, a government who wants to take away your Arms.
