Why compromise is deadly ~ By Erik Rush

Erik starts out by discussing what is happening in Europe, and what happens when socialist states run out of other people's money:

In Europe, they break things, set fires and attack the police. This is because the sense of entitlement has been so thoroughly inculcated into Europeans' worldview. Their inordinate dependence upon the state causes them to perceive such deprivations as you might if someone stole from your home.

The problem is, the President sees things the same way the Europeans do, and Erik explains why that will make it impossible for the newly elected Republicans to be able to compromise with the Barack Obama and his minions. In fact, it seems as though the new Republicans are going to have to get a little obstreperous with those on the other side of the aisle.

Why compromise is deadly

The obvious point upon which a few prominent commentators have expounded – and which altogether too many Americans have yet to learn – is that there is no such thing as compromise with an adversary whose objectives are diametrically opposed to your own. If the pilot of a jetliner wishes to slam the aircraft into a mountain and the copilot does not, there's no compromise; the copilot must neutralize the pilot if he or she wishes to save the passengers.

How many Republican lawmakers are on the same page with those who voted for reform in November? That is, unfortunately, hard to say. It would appear that a few who are leading the conservative charge "get it," as it were, but nearly 50 years of political gamesmanship and visionless, progressive Republican politicians have bred an understandable cynicism among the electorate.

Obama doesn't have it in him to "move to the center" substantially, as did Bill Clinton after the 1994 midterm election, and as some naïve pundits have predicted. Republican lawmakers will, quite frankly, have to be politically brutal with those across the aisle, and with this gross caricature of a president, employ methods and measures that will cause their more moderate colleagues to quiver with revulsion within their gelatinous, invertebrate carcasses.

And engaged Americans must remain as engaged as they were this summer and fall, and at such levels, for many years to come.

Presidency in free fall ~ By Herman Cain

Liberty or tyranny. Freedom or slavery. We still have the choice. Why do you think I am so desperately trying to get out the truth? Whether here or on my youtube channel, I do my best to get a whole lot of attention; not to me, but to the people that know how to make a whole lot of sense.

So, I put the stuff out there, as much as I have time to do, on a daily basis. Believe me, I soak in a lot more information than I can ever have time to deliver to you. Every day, I am faced with decisions about what to produce. This column or that column, this news segment or that news segment. I have to decide what will do the most good towards the goal of spreading the idea of liberty.

So, I had to make that same decision once again last night. Not only did I want to pick the right column to put on this blog, but also which videos I wanted to include with it. (That's something I have been doing a lot more of lately; putting related videos with the columns I post is a time-consuming part of the projects.)

And the most difficult thing is knowing all the disparaging of tea partiers that I would like to be able to counter, and not having any more time than I do, I have to decide what to post or upload (video) that will counter the normal everyday slander.

But to see what has happened in the last three months has broken my heart, but not my spirit. I have been saddened by a drastic decrease in the views to this blog site. But yet, maybe there is something good from that. It does not mean that somebody won't come along and say, "Hey, I never heard about this stuff before, I wasn't aware of people like Herman Cain."

It is why I do what I do. Just hoping that one of you learns something that I had to learn along the way. It isn't about gaining fame and fortune. I know I am not going to reach millions of people. I'll leave that to the professionals, like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Herman Cain. Just sayin'...

Many congressional Democrats running for re-election are distancing themselves from the president, the health-care deform bill and the Cap-and-Trade-and-Tax-and-Kill bill. And they don't even talk about all of the spending, which has not been the solution to economic growth. In fact, they want to spend more!

And now the Democrats have decided to wait until after the November elections to pass legislation on the expiring current tax rates. This is a signal that the president and the Democrats are going to raise taxes. We just do not know whether it will be on all of us or some of us.

Instead of a parachute, this president and Congress are determined to put this economy and nation into a nose dive.

Presidency in free fall

In less than two years, this presidency has produced an unprecedented turnover rate of top administration advisers, a failed stimulus spending bill, failed economic policies that have left the economy stalled, much higher than expected unemployment, a hugely unpopular health-care bill, a financial regulatory deform bill, a list of expensive and poorly executed populist programs that flopped, out-of-control federal spending, uncertainty about success with the war in Afghanistan and increased tensions with Iran, North Korea and China.

Millions of voters have come to realize that this presidency lacks leadership, direction, decisiveness, economic urgency and, most of all, solutions. This combination of deficiencies has produced a more than uninspired citizenry, except for the most loyal and misled supporters of the president.

And just like the Obama supporter who confronted the president at a supposedly friendly town-hall meeting last week, people are exhausted from listening to all of the failed attempts to spin failures into successes with speeches and media sound bites.

A disheartened Obama supporter called my radio show last week and asked if I could name one thing that Obama had done right, since it seemed to him that all I talk about are the things that have not worked. I honestly tried to think of something significantly positive, but I could not. There have been too many disappointments and broken campaign promises.

This presidency is in free-fall, which means this nation is in free-fall.

But after further reflection, there is something this presidency has inspired. With the help of an incompetently led Congress, Obama has successfully awakened a citizen's movement that has stunned the political establishment in both parties.

Herman Cain : We the People

The political establishment and the Obama media call it those tea-party people. They can't seem to understand why people are upset. Maybe they're not listening.

The administration, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, other Democrats, the Obama mainstream media and other liberals have responded to the citizens' movement with nothing but name-calling attacks on the tea-party people. Those tactics have not worked. In fact, they appear to have further energized the citizen's movement. Demonization and intimidation of "We the People" is not working.

Georgia shows: There is hope in the vote ~ By Herman Cain

The Hermanator (as Herman Cain is affectionately known as) writes about the excellent opportunity this November to take back America. There are three things that we need to do, as he tells his audiences, readers, and radio listeners: Stay united, stay informed and stay inspired. He will be explaining those admonishments in this column. You will, if you want to see the REAL CHANGE coming this November! Just sayin'...

(By the way, be sure to see the column Joseph Farah wrote last Saturday regarding The Hermanator!)

...Not on our watch! The real change we want is coming in November.

The fight to take back our government is happening now. It is happening at tea-party rallies, conferences, town-hall meetings, in neighborhoods, get-out-the-vote drives, on the Internet and support for conservative candidates all over this country.

This gives me great hope for our vote in November.

The frustration and anger by conservatives about the direction of this country continue to grow. Even many moderates are starting to wake up to the failed policies and lack of leadership by the Obama administration.

In the Georgia primary election July 20, Republicans cast more ballots than Democrats for governor by a two-to-one margin. The other races on the ballot also showed that significantly more Republicans voted than Democrats, but the highest office on the ticket is a most telling sign about what could happen in November.

"Could happen" is the operative phrase, because Republicans could take back control of Congress if conservatives get out and vote the right way in November. The results in the recent Georgia primary are consistent with an ongoing Gallup poll showing that conservatives outnumber liberals two-to-one. Moderates have a one-and-a-half head count advantage over liberals in the same poll.

I am not suggesting that Georgia is indicative of the entire country, but those results along with the Gallup poll provide a huge ray of hope for November.

The numbers are on our (conservatives') side, but we can't stay home! We are the biggest danger to ourselves and the future of this country if we do not actively support good candidates and encourage people to get out and vote in November.

I also encourage listeners and audiences to do three things if we are going to slow down the Obama-Reid-Pelosi socialism express in November 2010: Stay united, stay informed and stay inspired.

The recent accusation of racism by the NAACP toward the tea-party movement was an attempt to divide and intimidate these citizen activists. The big-government liberals also hoped the racism charge would discourage further criticism of the failed policies of this administration and Congress, as I discussed in my commentary last week. The accusation backfired because they had no credible proof of their claim.

Their baseless claim was highlighted by the baseless firing of a lady named Shirley Sherrod when then the NAACP, the White House and the Department of Agriculture had to backtrack and apologize after all of the facts were known. That incident diminished even further the credibility of the NAACP. This attempt to divide us did not work, but beware of future attempts, which start with name calling and false accusations.

Playing the racism card did not make people forget that the stimulus spending is not working and the economy is stalled. People are more informed than the Democrats think, because they think we are all stupid. Efforts by the White House to ignore Fox News did not work. Efforts to censor talk radio have not worked because people can distinguish between facts and hate speech as the liberals claim.

Stay informed because liberals love stupid people, and they hate the facts.

And most importantly, stay inspired. Liberals want us to give up. They want us to believe that our votes do not count. They want us to believe that we can't change control of Congress, and that the United States of Europe is inevitable.
