Mankato, Mn (rightcommentary.com): The Republican party must unite in the common cause of getting things done that people actually want done. We need to gather ourselves and ask what is important. We must ask ‘what are we supposed to for the people as stated in the Constitution?’ Not, ‘I wonder what I can do for people even though they don’t ask for it or, for that matter, ever even thought of it?’ The latter, of course is more in line with DFL dogma. The government of this country was created for only a few things and not the massive bureaucracy that we have had for too long. The first task for the federal government is to raise a military and provide security for its people. The second is to build and maintain infrastructure. The third is to provide police and fire services. This includes the courts and the laws of the land. The forth and last, yes last, is to provide a gold backed monetary banking system. That’s it. No more, no less. No school funding, no monument erecting, no wealth redistribution via windfall profit taxes, no health care, no federally run pension programs, no hand outs to those who do not earn their own way…you get the idea. These tasks must be kept in mind when crafting tax policy and budgets.

The gold standard in conservative ideology is a sapient tax and spending policy. The budget before Congress exceeds 1 trillion dollars with massive tax hikes to come down the road. It’s amusing to watch the Democratic presidential candidates promise not to raise taxes. It will be interesting to watch the attempted sleight of hand when this is explained to their uninformed throng of soldiers. All Republican candidates at all levels must beat this into the ground. The biggest tax hike in history is around the corner should we lose the White House. The Republicans must stop wasting valuable time and take a stand against the waste. This includes the 100 Republicans who voted for that white elephant, the farm bill. If you’re that afraid of your constituents then you need a new constituency. This includes standing up against bailing out homeowners who can’t pay their bills and don’t bother to read 30 year contracts, like mortgage papers. Hey, I’m just getting by… will they pay for my mortgage?

Lets stick to these principles, our principles. Lets win.
