I would like to offer an addendum to Mr. Ryan's Republican "road map."

Redrawing the Republican Road Map



image"They must take no prisoners. They must root out the traitors in their own party and tar and feather them and parade them in the town square."-- Lee S. Glidden Jr. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) recently came out with a "new road map" for Republicans. It deals mostly with pragmatic suggestions for fixing the economy, and how can you not love that, after watching the anti-capitalistic, corrupt, destructive machinations of the current Democratic regime? Fred Barnes writes that "If Republicans adopt [Ryan's] road map as their basic ideological blueprint, it offers them the prospect of a landslide in the midterm election this year, followed by victory in the presidential election in 2012."

Uh huh. Well, with all due respect, I would like to offer an addendum to Mr. Ryan's Republican "road map." As much as I like his "map," I think it needs a bit more "oomph" added to it. I believe that in order for the Republicans to escape their "Progressive-Lite" label, and fire-up their conservative base, they need to get much more "down and dirty." They need to offer something that people can believe in, grab onto, and fight for. Something like this:
  1. Start cutting the bloated government bureaucracy. Mandate a one-third cut within the next five years -- no extensions. I suggest starting with the Department of Energy -- which was started under Carter, to supposedly end America's dependence on foreign oil. "Today nobody knows what it does...." -- but it's big, and costs taxpayers a lot of money. (Link)
  2. Start working on passing the 28th Amendment -- "Congress shall make no law that applies to any citizen of the United States that does not apply equally to all US Senators and Representatives...." (Link)
  3. Examine repealing the 17th Amendment, and then start legislative action to have it repealed. Have each state's US Senator answer to his or her state legislature, and forbid any out-of-state contributions. (Link) (Link)
  4. Examine abolishing the federal income tax, and then start legislative action to have it abolished. Repeal the 16th Amendment if needed. The US can get along just fine without blood-sucking federal taxes, and a Frankensteinian IRS. Screw the Progressive Marxist/Fascists that started the whole thing. (Link)
  5. Work to put God back into government, the courts, and culture. I would suggest reading the Bible -- or other holy scripture -- or if you're of a more secular bent, read Dinesh D'Souza's charmingly profound "Life After Death" (you should at least read the chapter "Good for You"). (Link)
  6. Outlaw lobbying and lobbyists. Don't tell us it can't be done. JUST DO IT! Start with the hedge fund lobbies -- the MFA (Managed Funds Assoc.) in particular. (Link) (Link)
  7. Stomp out "political correctness." We need to recognize the trampling of free speech when it bites us on the butt. Trash this anti-American Maoist bulls--t. (Link)
  8. Secure our borders -- especially the border with Mexico, of course -- and start deporting all illegal invaders. They are here AGAINST THE LAW, for God's sake. Continue to encourage LEGAL immigration, but this illegal "immigration" must stop. If they start out in America by dissing our laws, we don't want them anyway. No more anchor babies! (Link) and (Link)
  9. Enthusiastically support pro-life. Call "pro-choice" what it is -- pro-murder. Overturn that unconstitutional garbage, Roe vs Wade. (Link)
  10. Support tort reform. Outlaw frivolous, wasteful, or exorbitantly expensive, lawsuits. Cleanse Congress and the courts of litigious lawyers. (Link)
  11. Audit and disband the Fed. It's a secretive big banking cabal, that totally bypasses "we the people." (Link)
  12. Investigate the Ford Foundation (it's at the center of a web of suspicious activity) -- the Tides Foundation, Appolo Alliance, and others as well. Investigate ShoreBank. (Link) (Link)
  13. Investigate and stop, US taxpayer money going to fund seditious, anti-free-enterprise agencies, such as ACORN. If an agency works against the US, or preaches against the US, then no way do they get taxpayer money -- let George Soros support them. No more tax breaks for "churches" that preach hate and sedition. (Link)
  14. No more earmarks, no more exorbitant congressional life-time pensions (make it retro), and no more accepting contributions from the Saudis, or other Islamist fronts -- make it law. (Link)
  15. Repeal Obama-Care, and reform health-care. Do it. (Link)
  16. Investigate, and do something about, the Islamist stealth jihad in the US (read "The Grand Jihad"). (Link) (Link)
  17. Make America energy independent. Use oil, windmills, solar power, coal, unicorn horns...whatever it takes. Just do it! (Link)
  18. Become the party of real environmentalism -- unlike the Progressives, who have been using it as a front for subversive anti-capitalistic scams. Conservatives really care about the environment, and are not just using it as a political tool -- start acting like it. (Link)
Well, that should do for starters. I won't even get into such things as the deplorable state of our indoctrination-centers (aka schools), the need to investigate big union leadership (SEIU, NEA, etc.), investigating Islamist fronts, the need to stop taxpayer funding of the UN, revoking US citizenship from flagrantly anti-American traitors such as George Soros, etc. (Link) My, my, the new Republican "road map" sure does have a lot of "sites of interest" to visit, huh? It's starting to look like a "road map" we Constitutional conservatives can get enthusiastic about, and one that may actually get us somewhere we want to go. Some words of warning before I end. There are two things to be especially on guard for, coming from pseudo-conservative candidates -- con-con, and amnesty. A Constitutional Convention (con-con) to change the Constitution, is a terrible idea. We, of course, don't want to mess with the Constitution -- it is sacrosanct. Even changing one letter in the Constitution can make a big difference -- for instance "unalienable" (that which cannot be taken away) can become "inalienable" (that which should not be taken away). (Link) And we need to be on the lookout for folks who use pushing for a strong southern border, as a cover for their pro-amnesty agenda. (Link) In case you haven't yet been notified, play-time is over, ladies and gentlemen. "Business as usual" in Washington D.C. is finished -- and salt is to be strewn over the ruins. No joke. Now that we have a rudimentary Republican road map (or is it a Tea Party road map?) -- let's roll! Laus Deo.
