The Republican Problem

By Rob W. Case

September 13, 2010

It’s no secret that momentum is building in favor of the Republican Party, yet it is mainly due to
anti-incumbent (i.e. anti-Democrat) sentiment. After all, the incumbents, which are mostly
Democrats, have controlled and managed most of the workings of the Federal Government now
for almost four years. Yet, I believe that the damage inflicted on this country would not have
been as bad if we had simply knew what both political parties actually represented and stood for.
At any rate….

The Republican Revolt of 2006 and 2008:

The election of 2006 was the last time we had both a Republican President and a Republican
Congress. For the record, it wasn’t an overwhelmingly large Republican Congress (as is the
current Democrat Congress), yet it was in the majority. Voters feelings towards the Republican
Party changed in 2006 due to the war in Iraq, overspending (which is a trait that goes against the
Republican platform), and a “culture of corruption.” When the Democrats took control of
Congress, their policies kept us in Iraq, they were radically aggressive in spending, and the
culture of corruption ballooned even further, yet its impact wasn’t all that great since the media
(which knows its strength in influence) suppressed much of the content relating to it. Yet, with a
Republican still in the White House, the voters automatically, without knowing or caring to
know the workings behind the scenes, attributed all of those problems with the Republican in the
White House because he was there…. and in 2008 they enlarged the Democrat majorities in
Congress to record levels, and elected a fiercely radical and partisan Democrat president. In
ignorance of the basic philosophies of the political parties, and ignorance regarding the role of
the President and the role of Congress, the voters have, since 2009 been a part of the rapid
descending of the country. The Federal Government is broke, and in record-debt. We are printing
money, thus becoming more enslaved to extremely wealthy, mega multi-billionaire European
bankers (remember the Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE BANK that we owe money to). We are
more vulnerable than we could ever be in every area imaginable. And it’s not over yet.

As such, in order to save a free (or somewhat free) society, the government must be equipped
with new representative blood…. FROM THE CITIZENRY. But there is a problem. There is a
problem within the Republican Party that must be settled right away if we are going to keep
America a free nation, and not spoil the momentum that is within their favor. Within the
Republican Party, there is a war between the elite establishment Republicans, and the new,
Reagan-type Conservative Republicans that are emerging from the grass- roots (the citizenry), to
business experience, to politics, that actually understand how business works, how the economy
works, and what is involved to make it work again. These are the people we so desperately need,
because they can actually relate to reality, and the common sense that is required on one end, to
make things work on the other. Yet, we have many (not all, but many) who have a Republican
title, but might as well be Democrats.

For example…..

Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe, have been prime examples as to how
smothering the environment in Washington can be, and how trying it is to uphold one’s core
principles. Yet it’s the individual in power’s decision to either adopt and embrace the
Washington establishment, and descend in your real duties and responsibilities to the people, or
stick firmly with your principles (so long as they are rooted in what is true, right, and lasting),
make them work for the people, and upset the Washington establishment. If the first option is the
chosen option, then the individual’s principles tend to erode, and then decisions are made based
on friendships, organized coalitions, and well funded special interests. Then spin is used as a
method to deceive what is really going on behind closed doors to make it sound like their deals
with their new “friends,” coalitions, and special interests is for the people. Yet only when the
people do not feel that their rhetoric matches the environment and experiences they are
personally living through, do they rise up and hold these people accountable. When this happens,
those weak-kneed politicians have shown that they have long- fulfilled their purposes, and there
is no further use for them to work on behalf of the American people. Yet the longer they’re in,
the more divorced from reality they become, and become engulfed in the normal routines and
duties of everyday Washington politics.

Conservative Republican Vs. the Republican Establishment

A Conservative Republican acknowledges that his/her duty to govern the country is based on the
fact that this country was, and still is a Constitutional Republic, with officials that are to be
elected Democratically to uphold the Constitutional Republic, and must abide by the
Constitution of the United States. The establishment Republican, if he has divorced himself from
this concept, is about being in power, and will do what he can to remain in power. That means
that if he feels that he has to align himself with the political machine, he will do this. Just ask
Charlie Crist of Florida, Mike Castle of Delaware, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania to name a
few.

Liberal Republicans are what Is Needed to Keep Us Moving in the Direction of Socialism:
When Obama ran in 2008, he successfully passed himself off to the masses as “moderate,”
even though he is obviously a committed radical Communist/Socialist. Obama’s loyalties and
ways of governing are painfully obvious and clear to those who are informed and study political
sciences and philosophies. And if a Republican behaves like a liberal, then he is a liberal, and his
policies are likelier to advance the cause of socialism, in direct contrast to his Conservative
counterpart.

Which Brand of Socialism Do you Prefer? Fabian, or Revolutionary? There is an aggressive war
within the Democrat party. The liberals in power are Revolutionary Socialists, meaning that they
are moving very quickly at implementing this brand of Marxism to the United States. Barack
Obama is a Revolutionary Marxist. That’s why he moved so quickly in the beginning of his
presidency, before anyone (mostly moderates and independents) caught on to what was really
going on. Yet on the other hand, you have many of the Blue Dog Democrats and Liberal
Republicans who are Fabian Socialists, which advocate advancing the cause of socialism on a
gradual level, over time. Revolutionary is quickly and swiftly, and Fabian is slowly, but surely.

How Do We Know Which is Which?

One of the things I love about the Tea Party movement is that it is brand new, frustrated at both
Fabian and Revolutionary socialism, and has called for a revival and re-implementation of the
fundamental, and founding principles of the United States, meaning Constitutional. As such, the
tea party endorses candidates who are true to advancing the interests of the American people,
first. As Scott Brown, a tea party favorite stated in his historic election win in January of this
year, “I go to Washington as the representative of no faction or interest, answering only to my
conscience and to the people. I’ve got a lot to learn in the Senate, but I know who I am and I
know who I serve.” And though it’s obviously clear who the Democrats serve, it is vital to know
who your Republican Candidate serves and is true to.
