Lies are killing America. Everyone
in D.C. lies to trick us, distract us and confuse us. Pretty soon, no one even
knows what the truth is anymore. The biggest lie comes from Obama, moderate
Republicans and the media elite, who are all in bed together, trying to
convince us that only “moderation, cooperation and compromise” can save the
GOP… and America. This is one of the greatest lies ever told.
First of all, moderation won’t save
the GOP. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is the GOP has had a
long list of moderate “saviors”:- Gerald Ford: loser
- Bob Dole: loser
- George H.W. Bush: loser (to Bill Clinton)
- John McCain: loser
- Mitt Romney: loser
You know what else the media doesn’t
want us to remember? That Reagan wanted massive cuts to spending, but in the
end he listened to the media and “compromised.” He agreed to increase spending
to get his tax cuts that saved the U.S. economy. Now, Democrats and the
media use that “compromise” to destroy Reagan’s legacy by claiming “Reagan
raised spending and built huge deficits.” Well then, I guess “compromise”
is bad for Republicans, isn’t it?
You know what else the
media don’t want us to remember? Reagan cut income taxes from 70 percent
to 28 percent, but then once again he listened to the media and “compromised.”
He allowed a few small tax increases in order to get Democrats to agree to
future spending cuts. Now, the media accuses Reagan of “raising taxes multiple
times.” And, of course, the Democrats lied and never cut any of the spending
they agreed to. So I guess “compromise” is bad for Republicans, isn’t it?
You know what else the
media don’t want us to remember? That George H.W. Bush compromised on his
promise: “Read my lips, no new taxes.” Once again, in order to get Democrats to
rein in spending, Bush compromised. Once again, Democrats lied and cheated. No
spending was cut, but Bush got the blame for raising taxes. So I guess
“compromise” is bad for Republicans, isn’t it?
And when George W. Bush
“compromised” by letting spending grow unchecked and never vetoing a
single spending bill, we got an economic crisis, the banking system almost
collapsed, the debt plunged us into a depression and Obama was elected. Gee,
“compromise” really works out well for Republicans, doesn’t it?
But wait, there’s more proof that
this idea of “moderation” is a stone-cold failure. The GOP ran nothing but
“moderates” for Congress throughout the 50s, 60s, 70s and even the 80s. The
result was a permanent Democratic majority in Congress from 1954 through 1994.
Moderation resulted in 40 years of unchallenged domination for Democrats.
The facts are in: When Republicans
compromise their principles, allow bigger spending, agree to tax increases,
support bigger government, and become nothing more than “Democrat-lite,” they
lose.
Then, of course, there’s the most
powerful proof of all: the 2010 election. Led by the energy and passion of the
Tea Party, Republicans achieved the most smashing victory in political history.
They not only won Congress in the biggest landslide since 1938 — and took a
majority of Governorships — but also won the most State Legislature seats since
1928. The media seems to have overlooked or forgotten about this, even though
it happened only three short years ago.
After that record-setting Tea Party
victory — with polls showing the Tea Party more popular (by far) than the
actual Republican Party itself — politicians of both parties in D.C. panicked.
They couldn’t allow the country to be dominated by this idea of smaller
government. Everyone in D.C. gets rich off big government. They couldn’t afford
to let the gravy train slow down.
So Obama and his socialist cabal,
with an assist from big-government RINO Republicans, set about to destroy the
Tea Party. The plan was to slander them, distract them, intimidate them and
destroy them. It took a coordinated criminal conspiracy (some might call it
“racketeering” or organized crime) by Obama, Democrats, big-government
politicians of both parties, the mainstream media and, most importantly, the
Internal Revenue Service.
Democrats called conservative
patriots “terrorists,” “arsonists,” “radical,” “extreme” and worse. The media
quoted them all day and night, 24/7. And the IRS set out to intimidate, harass
and persecute Tea Party groups and conservative critics of the President, until
their energy was killed, their passion erased, their views silenced and their
fundraising starved.
Suddenly, with true conservatives
distracted, persecuted and on the defensive — and with a wonderful “moderate”
like Mitt Romney at the top of the ticket — it was back to mediocrity and the
loser’s club for the GOP.
This is what Democrats and the media
(I know, I repeat myself) want to convince us to go back to. Could it be that
the media desperately want to convince us that a “moderate” will save the GOP,
simply because they know a “moderate” will guarantee a Democratic Party
victory?
But moderation, cooperation and
“compromise” don’t just lead to GOP mediocrity and defeat. They also lead to
ruination for the United States of America. The proof is in the pudding. We’ve
had decades of cooperation and compromise on Capitol Hill. The result?
Seventeen trillion dollars in debt. And when you add in unfunded liabilities,
well over $115 trillion in debt. All that cooperation and “business as usual”
has produced a bankrupt Nation; the death of full-time, good-paying jobs; and
the extinction of the middle class. Moderation, cooperation and compromise have
killed the greatest Nation and economic juggernaut in world history.
If all that hasn’t convinced you,
how about some eye-opening facts provided by the Congressional Effect Fund. In
the past half-century (since 1964), when Congress was in session, the U.S.
stock market has been up 1 percent. During that same period, when Congress was
on vacation, the stock market was up 17 percent.
So tell me what the benefit is of
moderation and cooperation? The reality is no matter who is sitting in those
seats on Capitol Hill, politicians are doing damage to our economy each time
they compromise and agree to pass a bill.
Still not convinced? How about over
a 100-year timeline (again courtesy of the Congressional Effect Fund). If you
had invested $1 in the stock market starting in 1899, only when the Congress
was in session, today you’d have $2. If you had invested the same $1 only when
Congress was on vacation, today you’d have $300.
More proof that moderation,
cooperation and compromise are greatly overrated. We don’t need a moderate GOP
to save the Republican Party or America. History actually proves that
compromise leads to deficit, debt and economic decline.
The solution? We need to throw all
the bums out. Every single one of them. Clean house. Then start over
with Tea Party conservatives, with the same limited government principles as
our Founding Fathers. They should be “citizen politicians” willing to make
government smaller, make themselves less powerful and restore power to the
people. They should all agree that government feels our pain only because
government causes it. Government can’t run the post office without losing $16
billion per year — and that’s with no competition (by law). Government runs
Amtrak; it’s lost $40 billion and counting — and still we lose more than $30
every time a butt sits down on an Amtrak train. Government runs the $16
trillion war on poverty that wasted and lost $16 trillion. Government
runs our failing public schools. From now on, if a politician thinks
“government knows best” or “government has the answer,” he must be
defeated, no matter what party he represents.
Oh, and one other thing: From this
day forward, we must term-limit the politicians. Limit them all to two terms:
one term in office and one term in prison. I call it “the Chicago Rule.”
