Things are getting a lot dicier considering the national candidates, and right now, I almost agree with Hank Williams, Jr. in saying that I'm not really crazy about any of them. I do like Michelle Bachmann, but it saddens me that so much of not only the lame-stream media, but a lot of conservative bloggers, too, are writing her off. She's the only true conservative out there that I've seen so far. Yes, I know, Ron Paul is a big conservative, but the fact that he's pro-choice and thereby is not anti-abortion - no, thanks! That's one place I won't compromise on. I did for a long time, but the deeper I study the Bible, the more I know how morally wrong it is. After all, David talks about, in Psalms, God's knowing him in the womb. May not tell you much, but it tells me an awful lot. Paul's foreign policy leaves a lot to be desired, too. Ahmadinejad having nuclear capabilities?? Uh, no. Not just no, but heck no!
I had been favoring Herman Cain quite a bit, but after watching a video on the Fed tonight, I have to wonder. Mr. Cain served as chairman of the Fed in Kansas City from 1992 to 1996. When he first began his campaign, if asked about auditing the Fed, his response was, "Call 'em up - they'll tell you anything you want to know!" Although I seriously doubt it, it may have been that way in Kansas City when he was chair there, but I'm very certain that's not the case any more! Mr. Cain has changed his tune in the last couple of weeks, but it still leaves question marks.
There is one other person that I would love to see run and that's Allen West from Florida. He's not afraid of anything. A good man, very sensible and what we need! Just too bad he's not willing to run - yet. Who knows, 2016 may be his year. I was glad to hear today that Chris Christie has decided not to run. There are too many unanswered questions!
At a special meeting of the Western Slope Constitutional Patriots tonight, we watched a video about our economic system. You can go to www.silentnomorepublications.com and check on the Youtube link to watch the video. It is very interesting how many times the progressives in this country tried to establish a national bank before it was finally accomplished, and how many assassinations were possibly tied to it. McKinley and Garfield's both were. I would have said Lincoln's, too, but a new book out by Bill O'Reilly, called Killing Lincoln, gives a different reason for Booth's assassinating Mr. Lincoln. The video not only tells you what the problems are, but what we can do to combat them and turn things around.
There is also an bill called the Monetary Reform Act that has been introduced that would seem to provide a means to an end regarding the debt and, in addition, keep inflation and deflation at bay. The link is www.themoneymasters.com/monetary-reform-act. Check it out! I plan on doing so more thoroughly because the brief PowerPoint presentation we saw tonight left me rather confused.
We got the good word tonight that because of the percentage of Delta County residents who voted for Dan Maes, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in the last election, the number of delegates from the county for state convention has almost doubled!! Caucuses have been moved up to February, which means we need to get to work, vetting candidates and making sure our candidates do agree with our principles!
Before I forget it, I need to correct one thing in my last post: the gentleman from Paonia running for school board in District 5 is David Evans, not Dale Evans. I don't believe she's alive any more, even! Sorry, Dave! Knew Dale wasn't right, but couldn't get beyond it - LOL!
Speaking of David, Thursday night is the school board forum at 6:30 at Garnet Mesa Elementary. If you get an opportunity, try to be there so you can learn where the candidates are coming from.
Our next WSCP meeting will be next Tuesday, October 11, at the Deitch Haus at 6:00. We will be talking about candidates, among other things, as the ballots will have gone out. Oh, I would be remiss if I did not mention Proposition 103. This is one big, fat NO, folks. Even the Democrat party would not support Senator Rollie Heath's bill on the floor at the last of the session last spring. In order to ensure that any monies collected as taxes goes into the education fund, it has to be designated "classroom-ready" and the funds that would result from this bill would not! All monies collected would go into the general fund and money from this for K-12 classes would be non-existent . Not only that, but it would, over the supposed five-year life span of the bill, kill somewhere in the neighborhood of 119,000 jobs in the schools. Scary, huh? Like I said, even the Democrats wouldn't support it, that's why Heath had to go the proposition route! So, vote NO on proposition 103 when you get your ballot!
One other thing of interest that I'll note tonight - on the blog, "Colorado Peak Politics" last night or this a.m., there is an article about Brandon Schafer, Senate President. Seems that the Democrats, in their infinite wisdom, drew his house in Longmont out of the 4th Congressional District. This wouldn't be bad, EXCEPT, Mr. Schafer had planned to run against Republican (and very popular in both the state and Washington, D.C.) Corey Gardner in the 4th CD. Hmmmmmm! Mr. Schafer is so desparate that yesterday, he filed a complaint with the Denver court, trying to persuade it that his house should be included in that particular district so he can run. Boo hoo! Considering Mr. Gardner is receiving lots of accolades from the grassroots groups here in Colorado, plus being an up-and-coming star in the House, what would you say Schafer's chances are of defeating him???? Will be interesting to watch, that's for sure!
That's it for tonight, folks! Have a good week! Hope you've gotten to enjoy the beautiful colors God has painted this country with 'cuz I think they are about to disappear!
