Individual liberty anywhere is a threat to the Progressive-Collectivist Cause everywhere.
On January 1, 2013 one third of Republican congressmen, following their leaders, joined with nearly all Democrats to legislate higher taxes and more subsidies for Democratic constituencies. Two thirds voted no, following the people who had elected them.(full story at forbes.com)
For generations, the Republican Party had presented itself as the political vehicle for Americans whose opposition to ever-bigger government financed by ever-higher taxes makes them a “country class.”
Yet modern Republican leaders, with the exception of the Reagan Administration, have been partners in the expansion of government, indeed in the growth of a government-based “ruling class.” They have relished that role despite their voters.
Thus these leaders gradually solidified their choice to no longer represent what had been their constituency, but to openly adopt the identity of junior partners in that ruling class. By repeatedly passing bills that contradict the identity of Republican voters and of the majority of Republican elected representatives, the Republican leadership has made political orphans of millions of Americans.
In short, at the outset of 2013 a substantial portion of America finds itself un-represented, while Republican leaders increasingly represent only themselves.
Former FBI Islamist expert John Guandolo says that John Brennan, President Obama’s new nominee to be Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), long ago converted from Christianity to Islam. Supposedly Brennan was recruited by Islamists when he was representing the US in Saudi Arabia.(full story at clashdaily.com)
Whether this is true is open to question. Unfortunately, at Brennan’s Senate hearings no senator saw fit to ask him whether or how he came to be recruited into the ranks of Islam. Even at this late time it would be appropriate to have an in-depth Congressional investigation into the matter before the nation’s intelligence secrets are turned over to him.
What is known is that Brennan now speaks in awed tones when talking of what he calls, “the beauty and goodness of Islam.” This is the same Islam that embraces and institutionalizes such things as murdering innocents, the cutting off of hands, feet, and and heads, mutilating little girls, men beating and flogging women almost to the point of their death, and parents training their little children to become suicide bombers.
We can only imagine how the Israelis and our other allies must feel knowing that their deepest secrets may soon be shared by Obama’s new Director of the CIA with organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization which has said that its intention is to kill every Jew on the face of the earth.
