Former Senator Jim DeMint, who now heads-up the Heritage Foundation, has an op-ed in Friday's Washington Post that neatly sums-up what we've been saying for many years: we conservatives must take our case to the people ourselves.
Stop The Spending NOW
Put an end to all of the reckless “business as usual” spending, deficits and debt.
Congress must use the debt ceiling to stop the unbridled growth of government.
Should The Government Censor Violence In Entertainment?
The entertainment industry has come out against any government action to reduce violence in entertainment, saying, “What we don't want to get involved with is content regulation. We're vehemently opposed to that... We have a free and open society that celebrates the First Amendment." What do you think, should government censorship be used to reduce the violence in entertainment?
"Conservatives have always stood for limited government, and our goal upon achieving power has always been to downsize the federal government and restore power to the states and the people as mandated in the Constitution." - Richard Viguerie (Conservatives Betrayed, p.vi)
It is refreshing to see another Republican join Texas Senator Ted Cruz in promoting the re-birth of Jack Kemp’s growth-oriented economic conservatism into “Opportunity Conservatism.”
"The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that's a choice no American — and no American business — should have to make."
Nearly two-thirds of respondents said we should keep some troops there, but 29% were in favor of withdrawing and trying to make peace with the Islamists.
We are on our way to another trillion dollar deficit. Conservatives must demand Republicans use the debt ceiling to stop our headlong rush to national bankruptcy.
The Republican Party's Washington insiders are attempting to exclude the very voters who could make them a permanent majority, and money plays a big role.
All the brave talk about standing firm on the debt ceiling isn’t worth anything if Republicans don’t have a plan and build the public support necessary for that plan to hold a majority in at least the House.
