A SAD DAY

3-1-12

Simply stunning! It has been a most difficult decision for me to leave freerepublic.com, but as the days pass, it makes all the sense in the world that I would leave. When I’m feeling lazy I still go there to see the alleged news headlines easily displayed so as to get a quick snippet of what is passing for “news” on any given day. It has been difficult of late to find actual “news” items as FreeRepublic seems to have become the Newt headquarters and no others need come or comment. At times they resemble democraticunderground.com with their wild eyed insistence that everyone should drop out of the presidential race because Newt is the “only” candidate who has “bold” ideas and, the ever popular, “can win”. Yeah, that’s right...he just received 6% in the Michigan primary, but he is the only one who can win and save us. LOL!

They are STILL calling for Santorum to drop out so Newt can stand a chance of beating Mitt. This is nothing new since they have been calling for Rick to drop out since before the Iowa caucus. Delusional is the only word I can use to describe the insanity over there.  Prime example:

What no one is talking about is the fact that only two candidates have received 50% or better in all the primaries that have been held thus far. Romney received 50.01% in Nevada and Santorum received 55.17% in Missouri. Should this not tell us something?


Oooops...before I could this post finished and posted up pops another delusional thread:

It truly saddens me to see what the best conservative forum on the web has become ... and worse … that old friends are now conducting themselves as demonrats and Paulinistas by cluttering up other candidates Face Book pages with their inane and rude comments. *sigh*

An Invitation to a New Revolution in America

To our fellow American countrymen,

Today, we invite you to join us on a journey to form a political alliance that will reshape our history and steer us back to the wisdom of our founding principles. If your blood runs a patriotic red, white & blue; if you wish to see the Federal Government function within its constitutional limitations; if you are tired of politically correct platitudes and policies that defy common sense; and if you reject the creeping socialism that both major political parties have embraced, please take a few minutes to learn about the FALCON Party and our agenda for America’s future.

We are not asking for money or oaths of allegiance. We are not even requiring you to leave the party to which you currently belong. But we are asking you to join us in this fight for America’s soul. We are seeking friends, supporters and allies who share the values of our heritage, values that were reflected and imbedded into our national character by a group of inspired patriots at our country’s founding.

For those who want to be organizers on the state or local level, we can certainly use your talents. For those who are, or wish to be, modern day pamphleteers in support of our conservative, pro-America agenda, we will give you an additional platform (or at least a link to your blog). For those that just want to stop by our website (www.falconparty.com) and offer moral support at this time, we welcome the encouragement. Any level of effort in between is also appreciated. Our goals are your goals. They are ambitious, but realistic. We intend to nominate candidates for national office by the 2012 presidential election year cycle. We intend to become a preeminent voice of conservatism in the years to come. We are not just a political party, but also a think tank, an advocate for American Exceptionalism, and a place to gather for those interested in US history, the foundations of our Republic, and our place in the world today.

We are not ‘neo-conservatives’, ‘paleo-conservatives’, or ‘third way’ conservatives; we are simply conservatives - American patriots who believe in fighting our enemies both foreign and domestic, slashing the unseemly bureaucracy that usurps our God given freedoms, and restoring the constitutionally proscribed powers between the federal government, the States and the people.

Why FALCON, you may ask? Our party was founded by rock ribbed, Reaganite conservatives who are more than disenchanted with the direction of the Republican Party. We are not intending to sabotage the genuine conservative members of the GOP. We will continue to support them with our voices and our alliance. By being an open party ourselves, we anticipate many GOPers will sign up for FALCON, yet retain their Republican membership for the time being (we anticipate the same for Libertarians and Constitution Party members).

Our name, FALCON is an acronym, and represents Fealty to America, Liberty, Conservatism, Optimism, and Nobility.

There are numerous issues that must be urgently addressed to keep the United States from decaying into a ‘formerly great country’. America cannot afford to lose its economic or military superpower status, especially as we see unfriendly nations and alliances rising to challenge us in every facet of human endeavor.


Please go to the link to finish this well thought out open invitation. You will be glad you did!
