Who Will Stand Against Obama Part 2

So will the next candidate on the GOP side be a sacrificial lamb who will be slaughtered against the wave of Barack Hussein Obama in the next election? Is that way the current slate of possible candidates is holding back?

No, I don’t think so. I have more faith in the American people than that. I think that this election has to be as much of an anti-Obama election as it is a pro-Tea-Party-infused-Republican election. We have to home in on all of the negative things Obama has done to our country at the same time as we highlight the strengths of the movement back to first principles. We have to focus not just on the man or woman who will represent us, but the entire movement behind him or her. That the strength comes from the ideals and principles, and not from narcissistic dictatorial fiat.

In a sense, we have to present that we ALL stand against Obama, not just the candidate. If America sees that, then we will win. And America can be restored.

Who Will Stand Against Obama? Part 1

OK so I think at last count there are something like 12 or more (count ‘em) possible candidates who could go up against Obama next year. And the time for debate is fast approaching. Pretty soon, it will be time for someone to step up and really take the reins.

I’m wondering though, why no one has stepped up really strongly yet. Is it because they are all a bit intimidated by Obama and his upcoming, likely $1 billion re-election campaign, largely funded by those outside of the United States, aiming to take us even further down? Or is there a sense that whoever steps up against Obama will get so much flak so early on from his operatives that that person may end up as a sacrificial lamb, and be expected to lose against Obama?

My sense was that John Kerry was just that lamb, sacrificed up in 2004 so that Hillary Clinton could attempt to take the reins in 2008. She couldn’t have seen Obama on his foreign money propelled rocket ship flying over her head. Do we have a chance against Obama? Yes: continued next post…

909 - Egypt Free? - Obama Supplicates - CPAC: Trump, Ron Paul, Herman Cain

On Today's Show:

• Mubarak either steps down or is pushed out, either way, does this mean freedom and democracy for Egypt, or will it be more of the same?


• Why is it that Obama has to supplicate himself to every world. I mean I can understand why we doesn't want all these people to feel below him but at the same time, why does he not at least treat everyone else as an equal. He treats other world leaders as better than him and by extension all other peoples better that the American people


• CPAC is pretty rousing, with Donald Trump, Ron Paul, Herman Cain, all great figures. Trump comes out and says the obvious, Ron Paul has ZERO chance, which is true, but I don't think I can trust Trump either. How much of a conservative/libertarian is he, anyways?


• Listen Now:

Ron Paul And The Paulians

I used to be a devout Paulian. I was a huge Ron Paul supporter during the last election. I have never, ever had a bumper sticker on my car, but my rear bumper sports a Ron Paul 2008 bumper sticker. I even joined (gasp!) the Republican party prior to the primaries in order to vote for the good doctor. I even went on a real radio station in Santa Cruz (KSCO) and did a whole two hours on why Ron Paul should be president I went door-to-door with his supporters, interviewed them for my show, and basically, for a time in 2008, went all out for the guy.

While his message is great, and he’s probably done more to turn people to liberty and freedom and political action than most people, he has, as Trump not so eloquently put it, zero chance of winning the presidency. And as the practical libertarian that I am – I will have to agree. So I will not support Ron Paul this time around, and neither should any of us who want to truly see more of a shift to his vision.

Let’s all support someone who can take us closer now.

Trump Wows CPAC - Part 2: Ron Paul

One thing that he said that was pretty interesting though – he came right out and said what many of us are thinking

Ron Paul can’t win. He has ZERO chance.

This of course is, sadly, true. While I completely agree with Ron Paul and all of his positions, I also agree with Trump that there is no way that he can win an election. I love his ideals, I love how he has become a leader and a focal point in thinking. I love how he drove so many more people out of their complacency in 2008. I love how he brought TRUE hope (not the false hope of Obama) back to people who were politically dead.

However, I’m all about practicality. I want to see freedom in my time and my children’s time, not some far flung wonderful utopian future state. And that's where I fear Ron Paul sits: he’s about education not action.
