Rising Leaders In The Republican Party

By Christopher G. Adamo
December 10, 2009

With each passing day, the cornerstones of American greatness are being attacked and dismantled by the left, whose goal is clearly their eventual eradication and replacement by a liberal "new order." As the nation sinks further under the oppression of the Obama/Reid/Pelosi offensive, the people of the Heartland are desperately looking for leaders who will arise to carry the torch of conservatism and traditional values.

Despite being the minority party in both houses of Congress, it is imperative that Republicans mount a principled and united resistance if their party is to retain any credibility as a viable alternative to the statism and despotism of the Democrats. This is not the time for "compromise" or "bipartisanship," which are euphemisms for ultimate surrender and philosophical capitulation to the liberal agenda.

Rather, the need of the moment is for individuals who have the courage to face the firestorm of "politically correct" derision that will inevitably be brought to bear on all who dare oppose the current regime. They must also possess the verbal fluency to properly disarm their critics with well-structured and well-articulated arguments. And at this desperate hour, it appears that some "stars" are beginning to rise from among the Republican ranks.

In statements released on December 7, two Republican Senators, John Barrasso of Wyoming, and David Vitter of Louisiana, exemplified the manner in which to confront the fraudulent premises of the liberal agenda, in this case pertaining to the fabricated hysteria of "global climate change." Rather than seeking "common ground" and cordiality with their ideological opposition, Barrasso and Vitter confronted the contrived calamity head on, even to the point of accurately assigning purely political motives as the true motivation of the Obama Administration and its thoroughly compromised Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

According to Senator Barrasso, "The EPA is playing politics with peoples' jobs during a recession, and that is just wrong." In so stating, he adeptly dispels the notion that concern over "rising sea levels" or any of the other apocalyptic premises of the "climate change" doomsday scenario might be Obama's true basis for all of the hysterics and alarm. The reality of this debate is that it resulted entirely from shameless liberal politicking, and the liberal penchant for resorting to any means, no matter how deceitful and despicable, in order to gain the political advantage.

Senator Vitter rightly depicted the EPA, and in particular its characterization of carbon dioxide as a "pollutant," as a flagrant power grab that threatens every aspect of day-to-day life of average citizens. In Vitter's words, "By granting the EPA the ability to take unilateral action on this issue, the administration is risking further damage to the U.S. economy. The EPA's decision may well result in a top-down, command and control approach that will add new mandates and could have a negative impact on almost every sector of our utility bills, merchandise at stores, and food items at the grocer."

Carbon dioxide is exhaled by every breathing human being on the planet, and is no more a "pollutant" than are the leaves that fall from trees. It has been vilified in recent years as the mechanism of "man made global warming," though the empirical evidence reveals a trend of global cooling for the past decade, and nothing more than the standard cyclical variations of earth's temperatures in the years of recorded data prior to that.

Yet now the government seeks to monitor and ultimately manage this harmless and completely natural component of the air we breathe, as if it has suddenly metamorphosed into some sinister "controlled substance" that might be dealt illegally in urban back alleys. This flagrant effort to extend the tentacles of the state into virtually every manufacturing process, every back-yard barbeque, and every exhaled breath in the country should alarm any citizen who recognizes the need for some limit on the scope and reach of government.

Meanwhile, the EPA is displaying criminal negligence with respect to one of its duly authorized responsibilities. It should be investigating the matter of fraudulent claims, and suppressed data, at the University of East Anglia in England, where the "holy of holies" of "climate change" advocacy resides. Rather than remaining faithful to the true methodology of science, its members engaged in an orchestrated hoax, insisting that the earth has been steadily warming while distorting or hiding a mass of evidence which proves that recorded temperatures are inarguably on the decline.

Again, Senator Vitter rightly demanded accountability, pointing out that e-mails from the institution clearly indicate that its members have been playing games with the numbers in order to present a false case of rising global temperatures, and thus "have raised serious questions about these policies." Pursuing the only responsible course of action, he followed "We asked that the EPA look further into this situation." However, preferring its ideology over any trite loyalty to the well being of the American people, the EPA is ignoring Vitter's request. And the Obama Administration is moving ahead with its agenda of governance through regulation.

Like Senator Barrasso before him, Senator Vitter once again accurately labels the motivation behind this bogus effort stating "I fear that politics may be overriding policy when it comes to this important issue."

It is now grimly obvious that Barack Obama, abetted by Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D.-NV) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-CA) will continue the ruse of inventing catastrophes in order to seize governing power over the people. As a result, all of America is endangered. Strong, principled voices will be needed to call them out, and begin the long but critically important process of restoring the precepts of real America.

The obstacles in this fight for the future of the nation are great, but not insurmountable. Both Sarah Palin and former Vice-President Dick Cheney have shown how to prevail, despite being castigated by liberals in the media and on Capitol Hill. And, now they have reinforcements. It appears that the GOP is finding its voice.

Rising Leaders In The Republican Party





Now, if only we could get these peeps, and others, like my all-time favorite Mr. Sessions, to form a completely new 3rd party.........

At this point, we're going to need one heck of a lot more than the two party same ol - same ol'

But, at the same time we also can't afford to see the same kind of major third party split we saw last time......we need everyone on the same page.

I don't know why our reps and hopefuls don't see what I do.....our founding fathers all had different views, different backgrounds, etc, and yet somehow they were able to work with that.....and each other.....as one cohesive unit in order to form a more perfect union.

Why can't that be duplicated now when we need it?

But the same two parties do work together AZ. They screw us at every turn; together. If there is a republicrat in office, we get more expansion of government. If we have a demopublican in office, we get more expansion of government and it doesn't cease. It perpetuates itself, at our expense, and we have nobody to vote for other than those who can afford the media bill for campaigning. But how many other candidates are out there who would do a better job, but can't afford the exposure or get funding from the "money bund" because they won't play ball after they are elected.

We do have good people out there, but getting them in office is the trick. How do you compete with moneyed interests, when we are getting squeezed out of the game daily? That' what we have to figure out.

I couldnt agree more with all of the above

Exactly my point of why we need the good people out there to just break away from the established, hopelessly corrupt, two parties altogether and form a completely new 3rd party Hylander

It doesn't matter what label is currently pasted on them; each and every one of those good people is currently classified as they are because that's been the way of it for so long that they....and we....have lost sight of the fact that it doesn't have to be that way.

All it will take is for those people, who share the basic principles this country was founded on and the determination to restore the US to it's foundations and the people, is to ditch the labels and simply walk away to form a completely new 3rd party.....no republican, democrat, independent, constitutional or whatever. Something completely new that has no preconceived notions which come to mind with the American people.

That's all it will take. The question is: Who will be the first to take that brave step forward?



We do have good people out there, but getting them in office is the trick. How do you compete with moneyed interests, when we are getting squeezed out of the game daily? That' what we have to figure out.


Don't forget, many of them already have considerable support and backing which they wouldn't have if those supporters were not on board with what they stand for. Those supporters will follow them.

The lesser known and newbies also have support and backing.....support and backing which will not only follow them, but is already growing as people become more disgusted, and can't help but grow by leaps and bounds when there is true hope and change on the horizon.

It really doesn't matter what the monied interests want or can fund, they CAN be overwhelmed. And they know this.....why do you suppose that they see the American people and certain pols as such a huge threat and so desperately need the criminal ring in DC to remain intact?

Personally, the only roadblock I see is the one we've all created by being stuck in the proverbial rut of "the way it's always been" and, thus far, the inability to be able to take a deep breath and walk away from what's become so familiar and the norm.

This CAN be done.......it's just going to take the willingness to do it.

But we do have other parties.

The Constitution Party, The Green Party, Socialist Party (I think this is who actually got in) and a list of others out there.

What we have fallen prey to is what George Washington feared would happen with a 2 party system. In partisan politics we can his warnings come to fruition.

What should be done, is repeal the president electing his running mate, and do what was done before. The loser of the presidential race becomes the vice president.
