Moral Double Standards!

Humor me. As a 50+ former beauty queen type this whole thing with Carrie Prejean is making me crazy. Not because of the beauty queen stuff, but because a conservative, especially a Christian, is held to a much different standard than other people. For example, liberal feminists(?)who fought to protect a man who callously and wantonly used women as disposal sex tools--Bill Clinton, wouldn't stand up for the women who were his victims.

Now a very honest liberal I know once explained it this way--"We don't claim to have any moral standards, so we can't be held accountable for not living up to them. You claim standards, so you are accountable."

Interestingly, enough we can tell that they have no moral standards--let's see their longest serving Senator is a former Exalted Cyclops of the KKK; all of the state houses flying the "stars and bars" Rebel flag had those raised by Democrat governors; plagiarist as the VP; tax cheaters everywhere, but most notably heading the agency that collects taxes and prosecutes the rest of us if we make the same "honest mistakes". Need I say more.

Ms. Prejean is being persecuted for posing in lingerie ads, not smut, not porn. But the arbiters of right, who have no moral standards feel qualified to apply our moral standards for us. Let's just forget that her true crime was standing up for the Biblical definition of marriage. Oh, for those of you who think we who think that marriage is a man and a woman, but if you must then have a domestic partnership. WE are not intolerant. We love the sinner not the sin. Please try to remember that the radical Islamist that you think we should just talk with, that you defend as poor victims of our imperialism, they stone, behead, etc. homosexuals. That's to me is intolerance and wrong. Expressing an opinion should not be.

For those of you who feel the need to apply our standards for us--Please try to remember that Christians are forgiven, not perfect. And that one stubble does not negate the validity of the walk.

Anyone recall that her stance on gay marriage was the same as President Obama? Oh and by the way, Ms. Prejean should thank liberal critics. Do you know the name of the winner of the Miss USA pageant?

My I See Identification Please!

Conservatives are talking a lot about how to win in the 2010. I humbly suggest that until voter fraud is fixed no one has a hope of a fair and honest election. Voters should have to show an ID!

Think of all the activities that require identification--have you taken a plane or train lately, applied for public assistance or Medicaid, applied for social security or Medicare, agreed to volunteer for any activity that includes other peoples children, cashed a check, checked into a hotel room, used a credit card, purchased a firearm? If you said yes, then you have been asked for ID.

So tell me, how is it discriminatory to ask for identification when people vote? The very poor have IDs to get cash assistance and Medicaid...the very wealthy to fly. Everyone in between to do everything in between.

It does discriminate against groups and candidates who bus ineligible people to the polls. Or against those who are voting for the illegal aliens given drivers licenses and registered to vote in lieu of being turned into INS for $5,000 per person in an unnamed southern county. I wonder what that sheriff and judge did with the money? I wonder who those illegals voted for in the last election?

Don't Let the Left Define Conservatism

I keep hearing that we must move to the middle to win in the future. I don't believe it! This philosophy is coming from the people who let the New York Times and the popular press choose our candidate during the last election.

Consider the case of Arlen Specter. For years those of us in Pennsylvania let the press and our national politicians tell us that this "liberal light" candidate was what we needed to win in PA. What did it buy us? An unreliable vote. Such weak loyalty to those who elected him, that he was willing to openly take his ball and go home as soon as he thought he couldn't win. Forget the letter after the politician's name and look at what they believe.

Real Conservatism is a belief that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness begins at conception not at birth; that the Constitution should guide the decisions of politicians, the courts and the actions of all Americans; that strong borders make a strong country; that freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion; and that this is a country founded on Judeo-Christian values.

It seems so simple. So Jeb Bush and those who are meeting this week to define the future of the republican party, remember that you have nothing without conservatives, and this is what we believe!
