Help Wanted
From Sue Jeffers
Help Wanted: Major Political party looking for a leader with principles. No experience necessary; Must love liberty, limited government and fiscal responsibility.
The values and principles of preserving freedom, life, liberty and property proudly defined Republicans of old. Fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, limited government and free enterprise defined us. There was a time, not long ago that Republicans unashamedly stood up for the rights of the unborn, the sanctity of marriage and individual responsibility. Has it become courageous to stand up for these principles, instead of being the right thing to do?
The republicans of today foolishly ignore the simple, tried and true conservative principles that have stood the test of time. Now, many republicans support energy policies based on shaky man-made global warming theories, amnesty for illegal aliens, minimum wage increases, universal health care (ten great leaps toward communism) and mass transit over roads and bridges.
The top republican leadership continues to betray us by supporting and even proposing liberal policies that only increase the size, scope and expense of government. The liberal solution to every problem is of course, more government. We've come to expect increased taxes, spending and legislation from liberals. If anyone had any thoughts that the liberal tax-and-spend stereotype was nothing more than an outdated cliché, just look at the 2007 legislative session. Unfortunately, bigger government is no longer the exclusive purview of liberals, they are getting lots of help from the “new” republicans, and conservatives are beginning to feel like we've been sold out.
Sadly, many republicans of today not only lack leadership, they cannot articulate the values and principles we once elected them to defend. They lack a message the general public craves. This past election should have reminded every incumbent and the GOP that the American people decide who is elected and we aren't happy with the choices we have been given.
We need just one leader to stand up for our liberty and freedoms. Just one leader to truly open the debate on accountability and spending priorities. Priorities like jobs, the economy, low taxes, and secure borders. Just one leader who knows more money will not fix a broken system, who understands fiscal principles and sound science must be the basis of laws. One leader who will eliminate pork barrel spending and useless feel-good laws, who will fight to secure our God-given inalienable rights of life, liberty and property, would be all it takes to rally the conservatives back to the fold and re-energize the Republican Party.
Anyone?
