The more involved the government is in the economy, the more the government can and will destroy the economy.  Taxes destroy the economy.  Uncontrolled spending causes monetary collapses and extreme macroeconomic forces that even the most nimble companies can't overcome.  The current administration and congress are running this nation's economy, and the world's confidence in it, straight into the ground.  Conservatism dictates that dropping taxes, as opposed to unfunded and mis-distributed stimulus packages, causes economic growth.  Common sense dictates spending within one's means is the best way to maintain economic and monetary stability.  Message to Republicans: - It's ok to be for less taxes, not more, and less spending, not more.  It may not be popular, but it is what works.

 

   Machiavelli, in his work The Prince, stated it is best to be loved and respected, but if one must choose between the two, respected is preferable.  It was said of President Bush that he caused the rest of the world to hate America.  However, President Obama is causing the rest of the world to see America as one giant joke.  America no longer has any foreign affairs principles that can be counted on anymore.  President Obama's hesitation to do what is necessary to bring victory to Afghanistan, a conclusion to the Iraq War, or an end to Iran's nuclear ambitions is showing the world that the United States is afraid to use its military might.  Remember this old phrase from Teddy Roosevelt "Speak softly, but carry a big stick."?  How can the United States protect herself, her allies, and her interests if she is viewed as unwilling to use her military?  Many wars have been prevented just by the fact that the United States had the best military in the world and wasn't afraid to use it.  Message to Republicans - It's ok to be proud of the military might of the United States and be willing to use it.  Our strength and resolve did many a problem solve.

 

   People disagree on social issues; it is a fact of life.  However, all people can't stand lacks of principles and moral compasses.  How many votes has betraying the Republican platform on issues such marriage, sanctity of human life inside and outside the womb, equality, immigration, bearing arms, and freedom of religion, speech, and assembly provided the Party?  Those who are unwilling to take a stance on these issues cannot be trusted to take a correct stance on any issue or make the right decisions during any emergency.  The Democrats get votes, not because the country is moving to the left on social issues, but rather because they are consistent.  Message to Republicans:  It's ok to say that there is no other point in time, other than conception, where an organism goes from not having human rights to having human rights.  It's ok to say that men and women are different and hence a covenant relationship between the two cannot be equated to any other type of relationship.  It's ok to be against amnesty for those who came into this country illegally.  It is ok for a citizen to own and be in possession of what the second amendment says the citizen can.  It's ok to say "Merry Christmas" without fear of the government knocking on your door.  People may disagree with you, but at least they can trust you.

 

   Republicans must get back to their core principles in order to win and save America from those tearing it down from the White House and the Capitol Building.  America deserves better!
