Always leave a place better than you found it.

First you don't tip the waitress... then you stiff your landlord and don't even clean up after yourselves? Pathetic. I guess Clinton Campaign really is hurting for cash.

Momma always taught me to leave a place better than I found it. If this is how they leave campaign offices, I'd hate to see how they'd leave the country.

Don't Stay Home!

I posted this over at WriteInFred.com:

With Mitt Romney suspending his campaign, it is a foregone conclusion that John McCain will be the Republican Party's nominee for the Presidency. If your state's primary is on the horizon, DON'T STAY HOME. It is crucial that we not show McCain or the party acceptance through silence. If Conservatives want to have a voice in a McCain White House or the Republican Party in the future, we must stand tall and be heard. Go to your primary and vote for Fred Thompson. If you have to write him in, do so. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we unite together and stand firm before our party is lost to liberalism forever.

John McCain came out and made an effort at mending fences with Conservatives yesterday. To all Conservatives, I remind you of a familiar phrase from Ronald Reagan, "trust, but verify". Those words could never be more poignant. We failed to unite and rally around one Conservative who values our Constitution, Sovereignty and Freedom. We failed to promote a candidate who truely believes in Free Speech, Secure Borders, Constructionist Judges, and the cause of Federalism. But all is not lost.

If we make our voices heard in the rest of the state primaries, McCain or the party can not dismiss our common cause. The Reagan Revolution and the Conservative Movement are not dead! Make McCain need our support in November, and make him EARN it. When he is in the White House and supporting Conservative issues, we should be his greatest supporters. But when he fails us, we should be his strongest critics. On every issue, every policy, every nuance and every speech... we must make the Conservative position heard. The President and the party must be accountable. Then in 2010 and 2012 we can begin to take back the Party that has left us and the country that is becoming lost.

For the good of our Constitution and our Country, we must continue to fight. We can take our country back!

Write-In Fred.

If Romney drops out of the race, or it becomes painfully obvious that McCain is a lock, it will become even more important to Write-In Fred Dalton Thompson if your state's primary is coming up. Almost half of the country has voted, but there is another half to go. If the Republican Party is leaving its Conservative voice behind, then we must take it back. We must stand tall and reclaim the high ground. We must be steadfast in the face of a party moving to the left and a Democratic Party moving towards socialism. If ever there was a time for a Conservative Revolution, it is now, before its too late.

UPDATE: Romney is out. DON'T GIVE UP. DON'T STAY HOME. If your primary is coming up, Write-In Fred for President. When November rolls around, even if you can't/won't vote for McCain, make sure you vote for true conservatives running for other offices.

Tornadoes Caused By Global Warming....

at least according to John Kerry. Nothing like using tragedy to promote your own agenda. Who needs facts when when you have unproven theory and scare-mongering fears of global annihilation.

Relatively, we haven't been recording weather events for all that long in our history. However, it would seem that devastating tornadoes have been around longer than automobiles, airplanes, aerosol cans, and 2-ply toilet paper have been threats to our environment.

• On May 7, 1840, a tornado in Mississippi killed 317 people.
• On February 19, 1884, over 60 tornadoes swept the South East killing at least 170 people.
• On May 27, 1896, 305 people were killed, over 1000 injured, and over $10 million in property damage was caused by a tornado in the St. Louis area.
• On March 23, 1913, tornadoes struck the east, north east, and west Iowa. The death toll in Omaha, Nebraska alone was 94 with 350 injured and over 600 homes lost.
• On March 18, 1925, the "Tri-State Tornado" killed 747 people from Missouri and Tennessee to Indiana.
  
  (these and more historical tornado events at weather.com)
  

So unless these were all caused by Cow Flatulence, global warming is not the cause of devastating tornadoes. There have been many other horrible tornadoes besides the ones listed up through today. It happens, and its not a pleasant experience, but to use the death and destruction caused by a naturally occurring weather phenomenon to prop up your own agenda is dishonest and despicable.

See the quote at the end of the article:

Kerry’s assertion tornado activity is related to any type of climate change is questionable based on the writings of at least one meteorologist. Roger Edwards, a meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Center in Norman, Okla., has doubts about any global warming and tornado relationship.

“As of this writing, no scientific studies solidly relate climatic global temperature trends to tornadoes,” Edwards wrote on the Earth & Sky Web site in April 2007. “I don’t expect any such results in the near future either, because tornadoes are too small, short–lived, hard to measure and count, and too dependent on day to day, even minute to minute weather conditions.”

John, here's an idea... keep your mouth shut and stop trying to be relevant. You're not. Its over. Time to Move On.

Oh, and I suppose the "Global Cooling" that we were supposedly threatened by in the 70s was responsible for the 1974 Super Outbreak of 148 tornadoes in 13 states that killed 315 people and caused over $600 million in damage.

I'm sorry that more than 50 people were killed and countless more lives were forever changed in the tornadoes on Tuesday. Any loss of life due is a sad and tragic event. But let's not stand on the shattered houses and the memories of those who were lost in order to advance an agenda that at the best is factually unproven and more likely completely false.

Have We Forgotten About Illegal Immigration?

Based on Super Tuesday's results, apparently so. What happened? Are our memories really that short? Has the anger faded so quickly? Where is our country headed and where has our party gone?

Who would have thought national security and sovereignty would be nothing more than a fad?

The power of half.

Today, virtually half of the nation has the chance to do something for the country. Half of our country is called on to be patriots. Half of our citizens have the option of sacrificing a brief moment of their time and perform their civic duty for the greater good. Its Super Tuesday, and if you are in one of 24 states, today it is your right, duty, and it should be your honor to vote (24 states have primaries today with 43 primaries in total - 21 republican primaries and 22 democratic primaries).

Those who are so fortunate will be a part of something great. For today its not every vote that counts, its every vote in a little less than half of the country that matters. And that half will likely decide who our presidential candidates will be. It may not be over after tonight, but it will be a lot closer. Half of the populous gets to be heard while only a few already have been. The rest of us may not even matter. I won't. In North Carolina our primary isn't until May 6th... by then this contest will likely have come to a close. I hope not, but history is not in my favor.

And those in that half that care about our country and the purpose of its founding... those that value smaller government, lower taxes, personal responsibility and free will... those that think we are in a monumental fight against Islamic extremism and terrorists who seek to destroy our next breath... those of you who want to protect our borders, our sovereignty, and our honor.... I beg of you to vote for a true Conservative in this race. We have to take our country back before we lose ourselves to socialism and global greed. We have to take our nation back before our sovereign rights and Constitutional guarantees are gone forever.

I can't tell you who to vote for, but if you agree with the above than I can tell you who doesn't deserve your vote. John McCain certainly does not. Mike Huckabee does not. Ron Paul does not. Obviously Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama do not.

That leaves only two choices:

1. Vote against John McCain and cast your ballot for Mitt Romney
   
   
2. Write-in Fred Thompson and send a message to the party and the American people that we want to return to our Federalist foundation and take our country back.

Ideally, I'd like to vote the later, but fearing a John McCain Republican nominee as much as any Conservative should.... if I were to vote I would probably vote Romney. Romney is the closest thing to a Conservative left in the race. He has the business and economic credentials to set our fiscal policy on the right track and he's also closer to being the citizen servant that our founders envisioned running for office. He's not a career politician who has spent decades attacking conservative ideals and he's not beholden to special interests or politicians across the aisle.

He's no Fred Thompson... but he's no John McCain either. And for that reason alone, he is worthy of your vote.

Not Perfect Afterall, The Giants Beat the Patriots 17-14

I'm no Giants fan. In fact, as a Redskins fan, the New York Football Giants are the second or third most hated team in the NFL to me (Dallas is definitely Number 1, with the Giants and Eagles competing for the second spot). However, lately I've been dying to see the good guys win. And after all of the cheating accusations and what I perceive as total arrogance from the Patriots, Coach Bill Belichick (The Unabomber) and Tom Brady (John Edwards' long lost brother)... I have begun to equate the Patriots with all that is evil. Like politics, sports can make for strange bed fellows, and as such, I found myself actually pulling for the Giants tonight. Its a strange world when one of the teams I hate the most are actually the "good guys".

When corruption seems to rule the current presidential nomination process, and the good guys are left for dead because they don't play into the media's storybook... I am pulling for anyone who I perceive is less than evil and doesn't fall into the plans of the consensus. So tonight I revel in a win by the Giants. Congrats to Boy Wonder (Eli Manning) and the boys in blue. Who would have thunk that for one brief moment I'd be a fan. Thanks for shutting the Patriots up, and ending the almost perfect season. How fitting that what started in Spygate has finally ended in a loss.

Tom Brady isn't going to Disney World... and I couldn't be happier.

What Did We Do?

Most of the media accused Fred Thompson of getting in the race too late. Now I wonder if he got in too early. John "Amnesty" McCain as the Republican Nominee? Remember the Keating Five? Remember McCain-Feingold? Remember wanting to close Gitmo, complaining about water-boarding, or opposing the Bush Tax Cuts? What about Illegal-Immigration Amnesty? Where has the Conservative Movement gone? Conservatives are waking up to a harsh reality now... and its our own fault.
