DNR GOP ?

Today is the 10th of November, 6 full days have elapsed from the election of Barack Obama, and yet if you scan the news sites you would think it just wrapped up about 10 minutes ago.

The excitement of the new President Elect is almost matched by the excitement of throngs of bloggers and columnists who are hailing the death of the Republican Party, more so, the death of Conservatism. I picture a large ball room chock full of angry GOP’ers marching single file out a pair of double doors, flanked by new progressives slapping orange DNR stickers on their hunched backs.

No one can deny that the media established itself as the big kid on the playground during this last election. They may not have wielded the biggest stick, but they sure screamed loud enough. For those they supported the media acted as a digital form of ADD quickly flashing over, or completely ignoring, any faults the new president may have, and substituting them with highlight reels and chanting onlookers. For those the media opposed, they took on the role of grim reaper, constantly reminding us that the end was near.

Just as they performed the greatest shuck and jive in the history politics over the last two years, they are now at it again with the same scythe swinging audacity. Any scan of the news, cable or Internet; will lead you inexorably to the conclusion that America has cast the conservatives out on their elephant-gray butts. It takes a deeper look into the “news” to find the actual truth; we are still here.

It is true the Republicans have tossed aside the Conservative base, John McCain went through the primaries ignoring us, all the while claiming he was the right man. (Pun fully intended). At the last minute his choice of the Sarah Palin was a sign that even he could not ignore the solid Conservative base. But that’s all behind us now, and presently we need to focus on rebuilding the party.

We need to start training and educating ourselves on this new style of politics, and stop preparing for a battle that was already lost. We need to focus on the Conservative message regarding limited government and why it works. We need to focus on less government spending, and smarter spending where it is needed. We need to teach people that the government should be a resource, not the sole source. We need to remember that strong churches and strong families are the backbone of society, and stop shunning the “Religious Right”. We need to remind people that we have the most advanced oil drilling companies in the world, and they are ready and willing to help us get away from mid-east oil. All we need do is cut the leash.

No Conservatism is not dead, it is in exile. We are preparing for the next battle to be fought for this great country. We are seeking men and women who are ready for the fight and willing to stand up and declare, we are proud to be Conservative.

A bit too cliche?

Remember all of those cliche stories in high school sex-ed about "Tommy" and "Jenny" who unwittingly fell into a compromising situation one night after the high school football game? Poor Jenny was convinced Tommy loved her so much that she gave herself fully to the man of her dreams, only to wake up alone the dreaded morning after! (dramatic music)

I can't help but think we are seeing some morning after action going on right now in the Obama administration-to-be. He promised change and vowed not to succumb to politics as usual. He promised to bring change to Washington and "fundamentally change the United States of America".

And then he picked Joe Biden.

Yes, nothing says change more than 30+ years of Washington insider standing next to you in Scranton, PA. And now we find he picked Rahm Emanuel, a top advisor to Bill Clinton, and a speaker's pet to Nanci Pelosi, as his Chief of Staff. Not to mention John Podesta, former Bill Clinton White House Chief of Staff, will head Obama's transition team.

It seems like Obama decided to pull some quickness the morning after while half of his constituents are still bathing in the after glow of his ascension, and the other half are just happy they were not disenfranchised from voting by scary republicans with sticks. I'm willing to say we just experienced several months of what amount to political pillow talk.

But maybe I am all wrong on this, maybe Tommy really does love Jenny, as he runs out the front door, looking over his shoulder, and saying, "I'll call you, I promise!"

The Conservative Credo

1. We believe that life starts at conception.

2. We believe that the right to bear arms is an individual right, protected by the Constitution.

3. We believe in the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman.

4. We believe in the freedom of political discourse, no matter what side you are on.

5. We believe in the right to vote, and deplore any and all actions that restrict that right.

6. We believe that children can be educated at home and at school, and reserve the right for the parents to choose where they will send their children.

7. We believe that the borders of our country should be secured, allowing only those who legally cross to access the American dream.

Welcome to my blogspot, the newest adventure from the wild mind of Chris Adamczyk! This is the first entry so I want to set up how this will work. I will have four main categories: Politics, personal, current events, and The Book.

Politics: Easy somewhat partisan opinions about one of my favorite topics.

Personal: Family stuff and just other personal musings.

Current Event: Well, duh.

The Book: This will focus on my writing endeavors including "The Devil and Jack" as well as some of my fiction stuff. I will post pieces of my books for you all read and critique.

Well thanks for visting and please check back often, you won't regret it! Each one of my books will live and die with you ( no pressure).
