Conservative on Target! Democracy, Tea Party, Monkey Wrench, Want A Loan, In Memoriam & More

SHARIA Watch! Our Sharia-Compliant Afghan War > Our policy in Afghanistan is part tragedy, part farce: Turns out that the U.S. government has embraced a core tenet of sharia — that archaic corpus of Islamic law that Mitt Romney recently assured us would never gain traction in America. Patrick Poole reported at Pajamas Media on Tuesday that the secretary of the army has just granted “conscientious objector” status to Pfc. Nasser Abdo, a Muslim American soldier who refused to deploy to Afghanistan. Heeding the admonitions of CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood operatives, the Pentagon accepts the claim that sharia forbids Muslims from assisting infidels in a war against Muslim forces in an Islamic land.

In Memoriam > Biggest Spending House Speaker in History: When the Pelosi Democrats took control of Congress on January 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04. The last day of the 111th Congress and Pelosi’s Speakership on December 22, 2010 the national debt was $13,858,529,371,601.09 – a roughly $5.2 trillion increase in just four years. Furthermore, the year over year federal deficit has roughly quadrupled during Pelosi’s four years as speaker, from $342 billion in fiscal year 2007 to an estimated $1.6 trillion at the end of fiscal year 2010. … The 111th Congress, from January 2009 to January 2011, accumulated more debt than the first 100 congresses combined.


SOCIALISM Watch > Want A Loan? Odds Are It Will Be From The Government: As early as this quarter, government is likely to displace the private sector as the biggest source of outstanding home mortgages and consumer credit, Federal Reserve data show. That will complete a dramatic reversal from 2006, when private-sector financing supplied nearly $2 in outstanding home mortgages and consumer credit for every $1 of government-financed loans.

He said that “the Fed still had several tools at its disposal to pump up the economy.” …Can somebody get word to him that a monkey wrench isn’t a fiscal tool?


Americans to Learn if Republicans Differ from Democrats:
   …The real fight is for the soul of the Republican Party. Tea Party activists gave Republicans the majority by supporting their candidates for Congress in 2010. If the Republican leaders raise the debt limit, the Tea Party likely will bolt in 2012. It only takes a few Tea Party voters to demolish Republican candidates on the margins, and Tea Party leaders have never felt comfortable in their alliance anyway.
   We personally look at this as victory for the people. The Republican/Democrat big government duopoly has run the country unchallenged for too long. The Tea Party activists need to stick to their guns and bring the Republican Party to its knees. If Boehner, Canter and company cave and vote to increase the debt limit, they deserve to lose power.

imageWhat Are We Fighting: II Chronicles 7:14 tells us what we must do, “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Through these difficult times, many have humbled themselves and prayed. Many have been driven to their knees – not through defeat, but through a desire to change our ways. We need more. I believe our country will not turn around economically and socially until it turns around spiritually by rejecting the humanism of government and academia and the feel good religion of some churches eager to keep contributors happy and writing checks.
