Finally, someone said it;

Conservatives are a threat to the Progressive Republican Party.

Who said it?

“The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don’t get on the team, & fast. We must fight them, & Dems, in 2018!”

Donald Trump ~ 2017

I say finally because we Conservatives in the Republican Party for a very long time have been considered excess baggage and ballast that can be thrown overboard whenever “Winning for the Republican Team” is threatened by constitutionally conservative values and principles. We are fed small scraps to keep us hanging around for the party voter base and thrown to the sharks whenever our values go against your Progressive agenda.

So, congratulations to all of the “Go Team Go” and “Win for our side at any cost” Progressive Republican leadership. You just may have done it. By your demanding loyalty to the brand and support of a candidate that is furthest away from any grounded principle, you have managed with complete success to set our tent on fire with no hope of extinguishing it.

Our Party has lost its way because we have abandoned our values and principles. We elect those who believe in nothing, who routinely compromise their principles for political expedience and negotiate away our ideals. I refuse to accept that.

While many still identify the two party ideologies as Liberal or Conservative the truth is that the apparatus that controls the mouthpiece of the Democrats and the Republicans are full on Progressives espousing new think, new speak and new intent.

The classic Liberal of the day and classic Conservative of the day has been scripted to the back bench and labeled as extremists or disruptive. They have been cast aside and promised scrap for their continued participation in the outright molestation of American Liberty.

It is both sides that have sold “we the people” out.

So, way to go boys and girls, you set aside your principles and ended up with another major Progressive at the helm. And of course now you have to support everything he does because he is a Republican, right?

Please do, it is the energy needed to take the Republican Party from a tightly compacted and imploded mass of tension and fractured principle to the stage that it is moving. That direction is towards the final outcome of exploding into several pieces and strengthening progressivism and its march towards socialism in America. You are going to create a black hole in the political landscape after you go super nova.

Liberty and freedom are in great peril because of these actions and deceptions. We are a short walk from the long winter of National Socialism in America. This winter is nuclear in scale and has the potential to create a great cold amongst our nation and her people not seen since the civil war.

To my constitutionally grounded and principled fellow Americans of any political label, I offer to you that we are in some sense in this together. I also lend that in a way we are extremists. I say to you that if you are not taking heat for criticizing the machines that are destroying our social order and moral fabric, then you are part of the problem.

If you promote an ideal that is opposed to the progressive establishment agenda and display a potential to actually ACT to fight for that ideal, then you will eventually be labeled an extremist. Then the power of the machine will hunt you down and make sure you are silenced.

We are a threat, yes, but only to the progressive power establishment and their collectivist hordes that threaten our Constitutional sovereignty.

To be an extremist in the face of open conflagration against the principles of freedom and Liberty is to be on the right side of history.

I stand with those that say repeal it and let the free market take hold. Get government out of the way.

You cannot support a “lite” version of Nationalized Healthcare and call yourself Republican. It is Socialism you support if you support replacement without repeal. There is no way to do the wrong thing.

So, all you win at any cost, my side good your side bad useful pawns please do us all a favor and call yourself and your party what you are, PROGRESSIVE turncoats in Elephants pajamas. Then get the hell out the way.

Who turned the lights on in Tallahassee ?

grutersSelf-honesty can create some completely unexpected moments in time. So in the spirit of truth, trust, honesty and relationships   I would like to take this opportunity to commend State Representative Joe Gruters R-Sarasota on his proposed legislation designed to illuminate the “dark money” that flows like chocolate fountains in Tallahassee.

Joe is not alone in his efforts. State Senator, Debbie Mayfield, R-Melbourne, has helped put some muscle behind this bill. She has sponsored the bill in the Florida Senate. Way to go Debbie !

Under the proposals, HB 1057 and SB 1178, political committees could not transfer money to another political committee to shield the source. The only entities that would be allowed to accept unlimited amounts of cash to transfer to other committees would be the political parties and the House and Senate leadership funds, which are controlled by the House speaker and Senate president. Thus legitimizing them. Leadership funds are a major problem and should be eliminated from being expressly allowed in the legislation. Senator Debbie Mayfield

It would be very easy to draw ties to Joe’s RPOF position as Vice Chairman and the leadership funds. Of which I admit I am still a bit skeptical. But given Debbie Mayfield’s personal strength of character and integrity I am going to work from the position that this is a step forward and take her lead.

My political path has allowed me to spend a fair amount of time with both of these “representatives of the people”. It has been almost a decade worth of interaction we have shared, and I am comfortable in saying that their bills effort on the surface seems sincere. Especially with Debbie’s finger prints on it.

What Joe and Debbie are doing is a small step into the light of transparency and they are to be commended and supported in their effort. They are showing leadership and addressing something we all know is a major problem.

They are actually suggesting that our Legislators get up and out of the mud and then act like honorable self-respecting people and not greedy pigs. There is a real problem with big dollar interests influencing the legislative outcome. They are preying on man’s weaknesses.

The titles and positions that the Legislators hold are designed to be one of honor and self-sacrifice. They are designed for defenders of freedom not to be arbiters of money for power, favors, regulations, jobs or laws. The title and office that the Legislators hold is not theirs to keep. The title is theirs to preserve and protect. It came before them and it will be there when they are long gone.

What this legislation paints for me is a very clear picture. It is one that shows the systemic infection within the culture of politics in Florida. It is a culture that has replaced honor with greed. It has replaced trust with façades and civic duty with personal duty.

On all sides of the aisle the culture wreaks of abuse of power and control for self-serving interests and gain.

You see it is not the system that is failing. It is the lack of willingness by those we elect to walk  in the light and carry on their shoulders the burden of office that it is intended to create on them.

In the end it is disgusting and sad that so many would choose to participate in the selling out of values and principles, so much so that a law has to be created to keep the lights turned on and the rats at bay.

There are more of the Joe and Debbie’s in Tallahassee and we need to be encouraging them to step forward and to begin creating a new norm in Florida politics and the culture around it. That way, maybe, just maybe, we can return the interest of governance back to the people.

Hypocrisy

Sometimes when you step out of a large social or family paradigm and stop living within its direct influences and precepts, you can see how your behavior and thinking were shaped by the same. Not to say that all the outcomes are necessarily slanted one way or another, it is just that life influences you. And when you are subject to deep emersion in social and family situations, well it has an affect on you.

Sort of like the young person leaving home and striking out on their own for the first time. The further the time of separation between the family and the teen, the greater the awareness of how the home life has shaped them. Many of the revelations are hopefully reassuring to the young adult, while others are quickly shed for greater personal freedoms.

The same rings true with the walk within political party’s. Let’s take for instance the RPOF, or Republican Party of Florida. I am talking about the machine that’s structure produces some of the most twisted cultural norms I think I have seen in my fifty two years of life.

For instance: The current Chairman of the RPOF and a sitting State Florida Legislator, Blaise Ingoglia, is on a personal mission to make sure that Governor Rick Scotts pile of play money, or as Blaise calls it “dark money” is taken away. They are specifically known as Enterprise Funds.

It sounds so noble. The party head and an up and coming power broker in the Florida House riding his white horse into the capitol to free Floridians from maleficence, collusion and sleaze. While this is an attribute and action most of us would like to see our government officials taking, it is riddled with hypocrisy.

The RPOF has its own “dark pool” of money too. The difference is that Blaise and others benefit from that dark pool so to them and their supporters it is alright. They make excuses and reasons why they can have it but others cannot.

The RPOF is an organized scheme of personal gain and personal power for those willing to live the paradigm of close one eye when it benefits me or someone that can help me. The lack, not complete lack, but lack of ethics and morality within the institution that is supposed to raise, groom and get elected our future law makers is just the tip of the corruption.

The façade of “all that is good” is as well wrapped as a pedophile clergyman that hides behind spiritual virtue. When Blaise and the others in the RPOF openly denounce and stop allowing for “dark pool leadership funds” within the RPOF, then and only then may they point at any elected for doing the same thing and be credible in doing it.

With all of this being known to any self-honest member of the machine, it makes the condoning and lack of open disgust from the internal ranks even more complicit. It typifies the depth of the infection that has consumed our political process at its most important levels across the board. Not just an infection of the elected bums, but non-elected bums deciding who the next head bum will be.

All from a state party that refuses to declare their precepts on paper and ratify their values for all to see.

No this is another example of a great paint job on the outside and trash on the inside. I think the following is an example of outcomes in this situation.

……..  And the different constituencies – not so much their leaders but their memberships – are beginning to question whether their loyalty to either of the two parties have been abused or misused; whether they might have fared better had they taken charge of their own destiny with their own clear advocacies and “in-house” leadership, instead of leaving things in the hands of master politicians who have continually demonstrated to be no patron saints to their memberships, nor strong advocates for their needs.
