Strategically it makes sense.  Look at Brett Favre.  He teetered for several years.  Finally he was forced out (although he didn’t take the hint, and went to another team).  If the Packers held on to Favre for nostalgic reasons, or if they believed that only Favre could carry the torch they would never have had the rise of the amazing Aaron Rodgers … they wouldn’t be in the midst of an undefeated season … they wouldn’t be the defending Super Bowl champions!

Buck McKeon is our Brett Favre!  It’s time for him to hang up his hat.  It’s time find a new champion to carry the conservative torch.  Buck’s effectiveness is waning.  He lacks influence.  He’s not connected to us anymore.  He is part of the political ruling class (especially now with his desire to put his unqualified wife in the seat vacated by Cameron Smyth).

We need a change.  We need someone who will listen to us, respond to us and represent us!  Surely we can find someone with the passion and desire to make a difference for us as our Congressman.

What do you think?  Is there someone out there who can lead?

Below is my original post of Council member Bob Kellar’s "proud racist" comment.  We have received many comments from all points of view on this incident.  All the liberal comments tend to be the same.  Thus for all you liberals reading this, and for you patriots who are wondering how I respond to them, here is my latest response:

***

"Bob" (the name of our last liberal guest) … I’m always astounded at the ignorance of liberals. (By the way, I did have to edit your comment because of your inability to disagree without cursing, which is typical for those on the left) … But I will, once again attempt to reason with the irrational …

Bob Kellar’s comment about being a “proud racist” was illustrating the absurd tactic from the left of simply calling people names instead of debating the facts. Others have called him a racist for standing for the same standards of most Americans and ALL Presidents have agreed on such as English remaining as our national language and supporting legal immigration, but condemning “illegal” immigration (there is a difference).

Thus he was in no way supporting racism, nor was he coming out of the racist closet. Bob was simply using a linguistic technique to illustrate absurdity with absurdity. You and others in your camp are either profoundly ignorant or intentionally disingenuous.

Either way you do not provide anything constructive to the argument and are participating in the destruction of our nation.

(Here is my original comment)

 Bob Kellar has the guts to cut through the liberals feigned offense over racism.

“I’m a proud racist” … The statement from City of Santa Clarita Council Member Bob Kellar was taken out of context by disingenuous local and national news media creating a feeding frenzy for irrational and hypocritical liberals around the country.

And Kellar is right!  It is time to shine the light of truth on the “race card.”  The truth is that the media, liberals, and democrats are … (choose your adjective, disingenuous / hypocritical / irrational / etc) … they all fit.

Just within the past few days liberals have uttered self-revealing racist comments that were not simply ignored by liberals and the media, but were actually defended and extolled.  “he (Obama) has no negro dialect” and “for an hour I forgot he was black” are just two of the most recent comments made by high-powered figures in the democratic party and liberal news media respectively.

Clearly if a conservative or republican made such ridiculous and clearly racist comments they would now be counted in the numbers of the unemployed.

It is now time for conservatives to follow Kellars lead and not be afraid of the left’s favorite trick.  Call us what you want, the truth is liberal policies are racist.

Please read and forward this email to anyone you know who may attend the Health Care Town Hall this Saturday.  I’m making the following comments as a result of information and insight I gained from a conversation I had with a friend who’s in a position to advise us.

First I want to make it clear that this Town Hall is being hosted by Rep. Buck McKeon, not the SCV Tea Party.  We’ve all seen similar meetings being coordinated by other politicians that have received a fair amount of bad press.  I want to ensure that we do all we can to mitigate the potential for bad press and to maximize our voice to our government.

Rep. McKeon is clearly one of the more conservative elected officials in California; as such we should be respectful but also make our position clear.  As President Regan said so eloquently, “Government is not the solution, it is the problem.”

It is the responsibility of this generation to sustain the work of our Founding Fathers, in order to do that we need to change our political paradigm.  Our battle is not simply a left vs. right or Republican vs. Democrat fight.  Most of us have not taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, yet we find ourselves forced to do that because many of our politicians both Republican and Democrat refuse to do it.  In fact, many of our politicians have not only refused to defend our Constitution, they have become “domestic enemies” of our Constitution.

I think the enemies of our Constitution would love nothing less than to put us in a negative light, or to reinforce the existing false image of Tea Party members.  So in order to make sure your voice is heard without creating bad press:

·         Act and speak with both passion and wisdom.

·         Don’t express your 2^nd Amendment right by wearing an exposed weapon.

·         When you ask questions, be solution oriented rather than simply venting.

·         Don’t let someone bait you into a confrontation.

·         Be respectful of other’s with differing opinions.

·         Be aware that there may be individuals attending pretending to be members of our Tea Party who are not members of the Tea Party attempting to create a disturbance.

To use a Biblical quote: “Be shrewd as serpents but innocent as doves.”  Matthew 10:16
