The Lion's Den... 11/18/2012

Hello  everyone, today I'd like to look at the history and possibility of a third party in the US. As some of you know, I was talking about this during the summer. With the stunning defeat of the GOP & Mitt Romney, now is the time to re-examine the issue. So, here we go; first, let's look at some history.

To the chart provided by Martin Armstrong (click to enlarge):

 

 

Armstrong opines in his blogpost, Obama Wins:

 

"Our [cyclic] model has long shown the rise of the Democrats as we go into this economic turmoil as the Republicans have been captured by the Religious Right injecting religion into law and politics. This is very wrong for what if the majority became Shiite Muslim? Would it justified to them order all women to be clothed based upon what the majority believes at any one point in time? There should be a FULL separation of church and state. Socrates was put to death for questioning the gods.

 

The real issue is the rising class warfare. This is the nastiest election perhaps in American history. It is the Democrats blaming the “super rich” (income greater than $125,000 per person) for all their failures of Marxist economic promises. They will never blame their unfunded promises. They will never blame themselves for throwing Social Security funds in the same pocket as everything else causing the lack of segregation to undermine the entire future of the World Economy. These are not sinister things that the rich have done – this is failed promises from politicians.

The Democrats won because they are the ones that have empowered the majority to vote to themselves the assets of the minority. This has been the Marxist Agenda that started to blow up with Communism in 1989 and should conclude with the collapse of Socialism in the West come 2016. It is 2016 that should be the first opportunity for a third party rising in the United States.

The THIRD PARTY should emerge from the middle ground of economics. The Republicans will become the party of the religious right and they will decline further missing the entire point that this is about surviving as a nation rather than abortion and gay rights. Therefore, we should see the rise in THIRD PARTY activity going into the 2016 election. The economy will peak again 2015.75 and turn down really hard. This should seriously damage the Democrats as their false promises collapse. The Republicans have to return to the economic agenda of Reagan and abandon the Religious Right agenda that has no place in politics."

I think he's correct on his thesis and I opined in the previous Lion's Den that the GOP needs to become the "fiscal conservative" party.  I believe the GOP must move beyond the religious right focus, the failed promises of its RINO "bi-partisan" politicians, not properly addressing the rising class warfare, and shift the "fiscal conservative" agenda to the economy, growth, and sound money.  If the GOP fails again in 2014, the stage is set for a "can do" new conservative party in 2016.

It's past time to clean sweep the DIMWITS out and bring in a whole new team with a dedicated fiscal conservative message. Remember this slogan: "it's the economy, stupid!" Let's get going!

The Lion's Den... November 10, 2012

Hello  everyone, I'd like to invite you all into the Lion's Den to express your thoughts in this regular column. I'll be adding some of my own thoughts, ideas, & issues of concern. Please feel free to comment or expand these things, or vent a bit.  The Lion's Den is a friendly place, so let your mane down a bit and kick up your paws.

 Cubs, lionesses, and old timers are welcome, one and all. No mauling allowed!

 

I'd like to start this edition of The Lion's Den with some ideas to revitalize the GOP after the stunning defeat last Tuesday. Now is the time to get to work on this, as the memories of defeat are still strong in our minds and clear thinking begins to analyze the situation. There's an old saying that victory has 100 fathers and defeat is an orphan. How true that is! 

 

Here are my ideas on how pick our orphaned GOP up and reinvigorate her.  Please feel free to be a "father" to this process by making a comment.

• The GOP needs to get away from being a socially conservative party to more of a fiscally conservative party.  Getting into areas such as abortion & contraception are costing votes and loss of women voters. We must adapt to the times to get into step with the voters. Not pander to them, but stop pushing issues that cost precious votes.
• Re-brand the GOP into a fiscally conservative party that promotes economic freedom & growth, sound money, low taxes, and incentives such as school vouchers for education versus hand outs or entitlements. No wampum, condoms, or phones for the voters. Give a hand up, not a hand out.
• The GOP should promote strong national defense, a rebuilding of critical industries in the US that are needed in event of any war or emergency. We should never support public sector involvement in any industry or business. No fascism allowed, please, only free market capitalism.
• The GOP needs: New Leadership, New Young Candidates, New Communications venues for contacting voters, a New Message that's focused & communicated to the party & voters alike. Candidates must be able to articulate that message clearly.
• As part of the New Communications, we need to utilize all Social Medias, blogs, Twitter, You Tube, and traditional medias such as cable TV, broadcast TV & radio.  How about starting some new media channels for these venues that are not owned by Marxist/Socialists? Some of the entrenched commentators that are not conveying the New Message, should step aside to allow new commentators a chance to bring that message to the fore. We need clarity in the message, not dancing on the head of a pin political insider gamesmanship.
• Last, but certainly not least, eliminate the consultants (sorry Karl Rove), prune, and cut out the "Deadwood, Insider, Management in, Washington, '!,' Team," aka "DIMWIT."

Can it be done? It must and the process needs to begin immediately.
