Well CPAC has come and gone but the GOP seems to have
learned little. Monday the talk is all
re-branding and tweaking things to that suddenly the MSM will decide that the
Republican Party is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Earth to GOP, your problem isn’t branding it’s principles. Look at the last few weeks.
At CPAC there were 10,000+ conservative activists ready to
fight, all they need is somebody willing to step up.
The poured in to hear Marco Rubio talk about the future and
take the attacks of the left in stride, he turned the democrats watery attacks
into a flood of fundraising dollars and a packed hall.
Rand Paul stood on principles, he bluntly (and concisely)
pointed out the principles of limiting the power of government and defended the
constitutional amendments from the 1st the 2nd the 4th
and the 10th.
And Ted Cruz in a speech where he eschewed the Teleprompter
walked before the podium and about the stage to tell a cheering audience when
it came to drones. And the government asking:
Don’t you trust us?:
The answer is exactly that. No
we don’t trust you and we don’t trust the next guy or the next guy or the next
guy whether he’s a democrat or a republican.”
Rand Paul stood up and fought, things happened.
Ted Cruz stood up and fought things happened.
Marco Rubio stood up and fought, things happened.
One you start leading, people will follow, the trick is to
be willing to lead.
Speaking of leading ReincePriebus might be doing well on the
fundraising side but his gigantic document on “rebranding” the GOP had a
glaring omission:
For the RNC
to produce a 100-page report and not have a single mention of the need to
interact with and support the conservative blogosphere tells me that the RNC
simply has rearranged the deck chairs on the HMS Consultant.
We may not
be all that, but it’s clear that the RNC doesn’t want us to be any part of that.
Meanwhile look who showed up at Blogbash…
Perhaps that why Ted Cruz is winning and other aren’t
Note to the GOP listen to Ted Cruz and these people and you
will win, fail to do so and you will not only lose, but you will DESERVE to
lose
Speaking of CPAC there were a lot of interesting people

All the video in the world won't change the fact that you
can't understand CPAC without seeing it close up.
-----------------------
The WBC has also come and gone and the Dominican Team went a
perfect 8-0 to win it all. One can look
at that killer roster but it was a pitching staff with an ERA of under 2 for
the entire 8 games that really made the difference.
Pitching, Pitching, Pitching
I suspect the Red Sox will not have an 8 game winning streak
in 2013, but you never know.
Two weeks away from the series 7 of Dr. Who. I really don’t
like this short half season stuff nor do I think they should only have a single
episode for the 50th anniversary (monthly repeat specials not
withstanding. I think they should
include as many past doctors as they can in the season and make that
anniversary the entire theme.
But it’s easy for me to say,
Is it just me or does the Big Bang Theory get funnier every
year? The character growth has not
retarded the show one bit in fact the interaction between Howard & his wife
has really added a great dimension to the show.
I really hope they don’t play the “Make Raj gay card”. Nothing says I’m not edgy more than giving
into a social convention in that way.
Speaking of social conventions we have a new Pope and the
left is trying to wrap their heads around Francis I, particularly after his initial
mass
When he
talks about Joseph “receptive to God’s plan and not his own” it is a direct
challenge to those who worship the world. That the day after Hillery Clinton changes with the wind on “gay marriage” and Memeorandumtrumpets the latest support for it in the polls its chief opponent in the entire world takes the world stage talking
about God’s plan which directly contradicts all the media loves.
On CNN the
irony became more pronounced as Chris Cuomo brother of the Governor of NY who
has been pushing Abortion even beyond the pale in the hopes of the nomination
of the Democrat party in 2016 bluntly said there was nothing unorthodox in his
message. CNN as soon as the Homily was done pivoted toward the Sex scandal but
they couldn’t sustain the conversation in that direction as the Pope’s Homily
pushed them in into a different direction.
This Pope’s
humility and popularity is going to be a thorn in the media’s side and his
weight with the common people will force the media to continue to highlight his
every move.
Do not let
this fool you. The media will follow him, will report on him and quote
him whenever it serves to advance their agenda while, as Judas did “look
for an opportunity to hand him over“ Mark 14:11b
As I said the day he was elected the left will hate Francis
the way Satan hats the church.
Finally on the
subject of “immigration” Jeb Bush took a hit for suggesting that people who
came illegally go back to the end of the line in terms of citizenship while
being made legal to get on with their lives.
You would have thought he killed the Lindbergh baby he was roundly
denounced for his words by the left but how could he NOT be.
For the left Amnesty is all about creating democrat voters,
period. To pretend otherwise is to fool
yourself.
