I am an independent conservative modern war veteran. The GOP lost because they were/are BLATANTLY on the side of big business at the expense of the little guy (bankruptcy reform- much to the benefit of big business) and they had every opportunity to close the borders, (the GOP owned the congress and executive branches, yet they did NOTHING), they could have easily garnered a great deal of votes from the Democrat voting bubbas had they done something remarkable and tangible about illegal immigration.

Too many of the republicans sound like democrats and vice versa. To those of us real AMERICANS not working in government, it looks and feels like government is composed of one party… the Republocrats.

I want to vote for a guy, yes a man, that isn’t trying to shove global business and free trade down my throat. That isn’t being a conservative, that is being a republocrat concerned only with campaign contributions and getting re-elected. How’s that working out for you GOP?

Bring back our manufacturing capabilities from China, send the mexicans back to mexico, beef up the border – put armed national guard troops on the border; give the national guard troops some real teeth to do the job down there. Encourage immigration from countries with educated and healthy people (i.e., Eastern Europe) Discourage immigration from turd world muslim countries and countries with health risks and countries with undereducated populations. Immigration is good for us, but not good when you go out of your way to bring in every kind of scum bag you can find.

The GOP leadership needs to call out Hollywood for its completely UN American slant. There are stories from Iraq and Asscrackistan that need to be told; tales of OUTSTANDING American military heroes in action. We don’t see movies about them, why not? Call them out.

GOP doesnt need to become the “New Coca Cola” we want the old Coca Cola, it was and is a classic.

I’m all for this. In the words of Green Day: I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies; this is the dawning of the rest of our lives!

Young people have no loyalty to the Democrats. They’ll follow a Republican who can relate to them and speak to them. Huckabee figured this out, Paul figured this out, why can’t the rest of the party figure this out?

Is this the best that Steele can do? Didn’t he edge out a conservative for the Chair? This was covered on the Angry White Dude’s site:

Thanks, Lou Ann, now I understand Jamal’s comment about reading the classics, I think i was just put off by his strange grammar and figures of speech in his writing. I agree that his heart is in the right place and Black entrepreurship should be encouraged. I also think that ending illegal immigration ought to be an issue that many blacks could get behind, since immigration lowers wages for lots of unskilled labor.

Markus: My take on Jamal’s line is this: Conservatism in the inner city is really no different than conservatism in any neighborhood. For example, residents discouraged by the sub-par public schools are pushing for more challenging courses for their kids, with a renewed interest in the classics.

What’s more conservative than reading the classics? What’s more conservative than giving deference to the thought leaders of bygone eras and then judging, rigorously, whether their perspectives still have merit? (In truth, any intellectual should see the value, but you’ll usually find conservatives pushing a classical education.)

On a side note, if I want to connect with people, I will have to look for the common threads. Jamal provided plenty of them. I see no need of dismissing his comment. I agree with his premise.

I’m trying to read this dude Jamal at post #17, and I’m really blown away. First, he’s obviously THOUGHT a lot. That is, he’s a deep thinker, no dummy. But from a white guys perspective reading his thought make it seem like he’s thinking in another language, some kind of ebonics, perhaps?. As a white guy, I don’t have the slightly idea of what he’s trying to say. He sounds earnest but totally goofy. Like, what the hell does this mean?:
“In reality, urban conservatism speaks to all of the issue’s in everyday neighborhoods by putting a direct spin on how to counter education, by offering advanced literature of Mac Beth and The Canterbury Tales in neighborhoods schools that never have considered this broad array of topics.”

Sorry, but this cracker wants to know: WTF?!?

I can sort of discern a pro-entrepenurial orientation. OK, for sure.

I really sometimes feel there is a racial/ethnic/diversity divide that can’t be bridged. Maybe we need to divide into two nations: 1) red America, majority white, more conservative. 2) blue american, multi kulti in all of its depraved glory. What’ya think?

Well, well, well . . . I’ve heard Obama, the future of America. And I’ve heard Jindal, the future of the Republican party. I need say nothing more.

On behalf of mister man, hot and right, high as a kite, and our fearless leader Sambo Hux, I leave you to yourselves.
