Are Republicans conservative?

Thanks to the Supreme Court for upholding women's rights

Thanks to the SC for upholding the rights of women to make their personal health care decision with the guidance from family and Doctors. Government has no Goddamn business in interfering in personal liberties, the SC is the only hope for America and it has usually supported the conservative values of liberty and one's right to eat, wear and believe whatever the hell one wants to, as long as he or she does not mess others' space, food and loved ones..

Conservatism is about holding on dearly to the values enshrined in our constitution - that of liberty and justice for all. Many a Republicans pose themselves as conservatives, but are hell bent on restricting freedom of women, freedom of speech (even Hannity) against equal pay for women, they are against freedom of religion, against glbt communities right to marry each other, and liberty of Citizens, they are against abortion even in the case of incest and rape.

Government Shut down - Ted Cruz and the Republican Villains of the Nation

URL - http://theghousediary.blogspot.com/2013/10/government-shut-down-ted-cruz-and.html

Yesterday, I asked if we have Republicans who have the balls to break ranks from GOP and speak up. I am glad, there are two in these United States of America; John McCain and Peter King. It assures me that GOP is not 100% loaded with a herd, who will do whatever is told them to do.

The American Public including the moderate Republicans like me, are waiting to punish these idiots in 2014, they need to get ready for the slaughter in the 2014 elections. Slaughtering them is not good for the country, but the Public needs to tell them that they are sheepish, and don't give a crap about other Americans, and are not in connection with the the needs, wants and the sentiments of the American Public. They need to go, we need clean governance.

• Hear Congressman Peter King finally broke away from the ranks and oddly spoke sense. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/gop-rep-peter-king-this-shutdown-disaster-is-ted-cruzs-fault/

time for Republican extremists to be punished in 2014.

A few random notes I made on facebook:

MYTH ABOUT CHARITY

As a nation, collectively we are insured. We are protected from external attacks and for that we pay our armed forces, every American pays through Sales Tax or Income Tax. After that insurance, we have mandated auto insurance... and now we have mandated health insurance- this is the for the benefit of all Americans, not just who can afford, but all who want to be healthy and productive Citizens. We "give" billions in aid to other nations, what is wrong even if it were an aid to fellow Americans? Of course, health care is not charity, healthy Americans are good for America and would contribute to the overall well being of the nation.

-----------
Obama Care will be appreciated by those average Americans whose loved ones died or were not given much care due to affordability and pre-existing conditions. The primary responsibility of the government is the safety of her citizens, when it can count on productive contributing citizens... Finally, we have a president who had the vision to care about average Americans, Republicans have fought hard on every front =- but their belligerency and fighting the to the end of their life is insane. Obama care is the law.

--------
There are millions of Americans out there, whose life is precious - my fellow Republicans would them rather die because they cannot afford or pre-existing conditions would prevent them from care... yet they call themselves pro-life, that does not square with.

Tricia I am a Republican and I don't have to be a obedient follower of the party to be a loyalist - I am a loyalist to the principles of the party and not the rogue leadership our party is infested with.
--------
Barry, thanks for the note.
COULD not agree more with you - its a public forum, when we post for the public to see. If it is a private item, we should communicate privately.

Tricia, thanks for your note. I don't think any one is questioning your intelligence for you to defend it, I am your friend, and I will defend you. But what they are questioning is the limited understanding of GOP you have to push others to be excluded who differ with you. Neither you own the party nor I. We see GOP from different lenses - I moan the deviation from the principles, you seem to believe deviation is the norm.

--------------
 Just because the GOP is top heavy with Loonies does not make GOP looney - we just have to speak up instead of becoming conformists for the sake of letting it run the the rogues in our party. We have to speak up.. I don't see the need to leave the party because of them. I will stick around and keep speaking...

Republicans Beware - get ready for slaugther in 2014

I am proud of being a Republican, a true republican to call on the stupidity and disgusting nasty men like Ted Cruz, who I am shamefully voted. Its almost all the front line Republicans that needs to slaughtered by the American public in 2014. They are anti-American.

Very few Republicans have the balls to break ranks from these nerds and straighten them out. At Least John McCain and I are calling the same to distance themselves and save their spot in 2014. 

John Stewart gives it to them.

Love hate for John McCain

LOVE /HATE FOR JOHN McCAIN

When he speaks on his own, he is goof ball, but
when he speaks as Wiseman, you’d love him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb-rwXu0TxY

Here he could not have been more honest with American Public.  Ted Cruz needs to go, what an embarrassment he is for Texas, idiot is not in touch with the public.

Do the Republican in the last 8 years, know anything about Americans? None whatsoever!  I am a Republican and hoping for sanity to return to my party, loaded with idiots on the top, but the majority is still sane, I wish they have the balls to speak up and stop Cruz making an ass of himself. I voted for him, I am ashamed.

Obama care is here to stay, and the Republicans don’t need to be villains of the average American people.

Republicans will fall flat on their faces

As an American, and as a Republican moderate, it is disgusting to see the way a “few” Republicans are behaving in a shameless manner. They got nothing better to offer to the nation, and they don’t have a single good presidential candidate for 2016 with the exception of Rand Paul, who will tear their bigotry at the cost of his chances.

And now they are putting all their eggs in Benghazi – they will fall flat on their effing faces, if you compare to over 30 Benghazi’s during Bush, when they did not squeak.

Their attitude is like the hyena’s, if I don’t get it, let me bite into them and do the damage.  It is their desperation that is causing them to lose their senses, and they have a lot more to lose with that behavior. More and more Republicans will see their ugliness and will dump them in 2014 if they don’t get their act together

Obama is too civilized to show them his finger.

We the Republicans are losing everywhere, not necessarily because Obama is doing the right things, but because we are doing all the dumb and stupid things.

As a Republican, it is my duty to speak out against the non-sense in my party, and if we don't  guard the fall, then I will be letting us die a slow death. I am worried about 2014. I have a feeling we will lose a lot of these disgusting Republican Senators and Congressional Republicans.

Nearly 92% of Americans want background check on gun sales, and what do these idiots do, vote against it. On the top of it, on the equal pay for women 22 of these idiots in Senate and 138 in Congress vote against it. They simply don't get it and will lose big time in 2014. I hate to see that happen, we need to have each house in different party's hands, and with a simple majority and not a bully majority. Americans in general, and Republicans in particular need to dump these creeps. We need our representative to represent our sentiments and our needs and not be sell themselves cheaply to lobbyists.

John McCain, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham expressed their belligerence in the nomination process of Chuck Hagel and John Brennan. Obama is too civilized to show them his finger. Furthermore Obama does not want to waste time in engaging in unnecessary debates and that makes him a winner against these losers. Dianne Feisenstein had to literally tell Graham to shut up during the hearings. 

Masters in Rudeness

There is not a day that goes by without a stupid comment from a Republican. The only saving grace is Rand Paul and Ted Cruz who fried Eric Holder in giving an answer. If I were Obama, I would tell Eric not to waste public’s money. If a question is asked, damn it give a straight answer and don’t dance around it. Just tell it like it is, we do not kill American Citizens on our land, any conditions, period. 

We the Republicans were disgraceful in not acknowledging the lowering unemployment figures of 7.7%, we are so hateful towards Obama that we don’t’ even want to give him the credit. It is as if we wanted Americans to suffer and not have the job, we are on the path of self destruction. I hope we the moderates can speak out strongly and save our party.

Today some of the Republican nuts send me a link where Michelle Obama selected singer Adele to sing on her 50th birthday. Now they are picking on her. The Americans have voted them in, and simply accept it. She is not doing anything different than Laura, Barbara, Nancy, Rosalyn or Jackie. I think we should rise above pettiness.

When we don't have something substantial, we resort to these. I am the best thing Republicans can ever get; I do not praise them when they display their stupidities, and I speak up and keep waking them up so they don’t lose out big in 2014. 

We cannot afford jerks like Bachman itching non-stop to defund Obama care, it is there, accept it and move on. Don’t waste our time in chasing the losing causes. I really feel sorry for the Minnesotans for electing her.

Mike Ghouse is a moderate Republican, who see through the stupidities of the party and speaks out. He cares about checks and balances and does not want the Republican Party to be slaughtered in 2014. We need to have strong two party systems to have stability in our policies.

The right winger in you

URL - http://theghousediary.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-right-winger-in-you.html

It is not you, nor is there a group called right wingers. It is each one of us once a while, occasionally or frequently a right winger.  There is a right winger in each one of us be it politically, ethnically or religiously at least once in a life time.  Check the following seven things out;

1. No tolerance for criticism of the president, as long as president is from their own party. For example, a right wing Republican would not tolerate any criticism of Bush, it amounts to disloyalty to the nation and without blinking an eye, you are unpatriotic, and they will accuse you and blame your religion, race, ethnicity or immigrant status or whatever they can find that is different in you.  
   They usually attack the person instead of the issue, the far left Democrats have the same germ in them. The attacks on Obama by these right wing possessed individuals is pathetic, they lost the election, and instead of gracefully accepting the will of the people, they attack the person of Obama, some of those assess, even attack Michelle Obama. This is not good for the nation.  For every accusation you hurl on Obama, the same can be hurled on his predecessor - Obama went to Vegas when Sandy hit the shores, what did Bush do when Katrina hit Louisiana?
   
2. If you are Chinese, Nigerian, Brazilian, German, Arab or African, simply substitute the words India or Pakistan with the name of your nation, the following experience would be the same. The Indian and Pakistani right wingers are no different. Criticism of what goes on there amounts to India or Pakistan bashing to them, they find it easy on their intellect to go ahead and make a judgment on you, instead of dealing with facts. Of course,  facts don’t matter to them. They hunger to create passionate supporters by painting the other guy their enemy. I see this every day among these two groups as well as the Bangladeshis’, switch it to Nigerian or Libyan and see if it works.
   
3. Religiously, the right wing Muslims, Christians, Jews or Hindus behave the same. By the way, there are right wingers among Buddhists, Sikhs, and even Bahai’s.  I have experienced all of these; it will be in my book, something you already know. No matter what is suggested, their minds quickly decide that others are attacking them, and that the others are their enemies. They ruin the joy of their life by living in constant anxiety.
   
4. By the way, conservatives are not right wingers, although right wingers can be conservatives. The right wingers are calling themselves conservatives, they are not. Conservatives want to stick with what is proven, what is known and what is working, and resist experimentation. They are not risk takers. You and I are conservatives in some areas and in the same areas occasionally, frequently or never. 
   
5. What makes one a right winger? You can observe the following; facts don’t matter to them, they insist their version is the final truth, and how dare you not accept their view as a fact? They are usually blunt and tell you that you are wrong, facts don't matter to them.  If you disagree with them, they become a passionate enemy of you; they will make the time to tell all the bad they they imagine about you, and tell others. They are risk takers, and are not embarrassed if they make the sense or not, if they don’t, they get louder and chase you to the end of the world. They usually bond on the basis of hate for others, which are temporary associations.  
   
6. Relax, you are not a right winger, if you are reading these words. Right wingers moved on out after item # 1 and have already responded in their minds, or passed it on to their friends… They rarely read things… remember facts don’t matter to them. They may be engaged in item # 5 right after # 1.
7. We need to be compassionate, I wrote this as an example, some of my closest friends are right wingers in religion, politics, culture and cuisine and I have found a way with some of them in my workshops, talks and dealings - to respect the otherness of others and accept the God given uniqueness of each one of us. Pluralism is an attitude of respecting who you are, without having to agree with you. I have found that their attitudes are molded by lack of knowledge about you, of inexplicable phobias....if you take the time, and when they see that you care, the fears vanish for them. They can become great friends with the same intensity for friendship. 

God bless us all with peace, may our anxieties recede, and may we give each other full value as we give to ourselves. Amen! We may all learn to respect the intentional diversity of God's creation, it amounts to genuine worship of God.

Do I want Romney to be my President? Hell No!

I am a Republican and I want the best for America, just as a Democrat or any American want. Candidate Romney has crossed the lines of decency by calling fellow Americans as free loaders. There is a pattern with him and may be he can repent and come back in 2016. He has made too many mistakes to support him. I place America first and do what is good for every American and that is the right thing to do.

I am usually tempered; I'll come loose now with the new Romney video. He does not even want to ask nearly half of the Americans to vote for him? He said he does not count on 47% of those Americans; do I want him to be my president? Hell no, he is president for his own buddies and not for Americans.

Those investors listening to this divisive talk will write big checks, with a clear intention of doubling on their return on the investment. You buy Romney now; he will offer tax cuts should he become president of the United States. Romney is smart and they are too… but who gets screwed? It is you and I who cannot buy him with big checks.

Romney will sell America. The man is secretive on taxes, money in Swiss banks, and now scheming and carrying on secretive conversations. Should we trust secretive presidents?

Romney is itching to go to wars to please his buddies who gain from it, and who would lose?  When was the last time CIA or Mossad were right in providing truthful information about wars? Haven't they been wrong since 1979? The guys with vested interest have their own safe heavens, but the loser is the average American with loss of jobs.

Wars will make us weaker, it will ruin our economy. It will keep Israel eternally insecure, and we will live with guilt for the Injustice meted out to the Palestinians. Netanyahu does not represent the will of Jewish people, be it in the US or Israel. None of these guys care about America or Israel except their own well being. He will go to war with Iran to appease and enrich his buddies.

Which Romney?

Romney is an appeaser, and will say different things at different times to different people. Which Romney would you be voting for, if you did? The one who wants to curb the liberties of women and gay/lesbian communities? Is it the one who says that government should be off the back of the women? Is it the one who claims to believe in the constitution but meddling with religion of others?

Obama will win these elections hands down.

I'm a Republican and am embarrassed and outraged with our leadership, (and never the party). In the next cycle I'll be involved with the party and persistently scream and make an effort to straighten them out.

America first!

 We need checks and balance with no party having overwhelming majorities. I'll do my share of finding the solution to decency and dignity in governance. We the Republicans need to save the party leadership from extremists, lunatics and secretive guys and we need to learn to place America first and not the party.

Gov. Christie back off on women's condescending issues, Romney-Ryan are not worth standing up for.

Loudmouth Christie needs to back off on women’s issue, unless the radical Republicans un-Talibanize themselves, if not he is doomed for embarrassment.

Christie is a rare Republican I agree with frequently, however, he is twisting the message and is being condescending to women.

What women want is for men to mind their own damned business, and not mess with their vagina’s, choice to abort the babies in dire necessity, marry a female if they want to, get paid equitably, not get legitimately raped, and be the clergy of any church, President of the United States or anything they want without anyone having a second thought that she is a woman.

Christie is right about not condescending to women, and I am with him, but we are lone voices in the madness of the right wingers among us Republicans. Women should seriously consider voting for the Republicans unless they back off in usurping women’s rights.

The Republican Party can discount looney Huckabee for backing another looney Akin, but what happens to the hens that will be guarded by Fox Ryan?

Does Ryan have any moral moorings to stand by his beliefs? He was against abortion in any case incest or rape, he co-sponsored that bill with Todd Akin, and now he is trying to wiggle out of it. God forbid, should something happen to Romney he will be the President and he wants to pass the buck to Romney? Congressman Ryan, have the audacity to be a Reaganite, the buck stops with you.

Governor Christie before you open your big mouth, please fix the loose mouth Republicans among us who are on a different drum beat. You don’t need to stick your neck, and be embarrassed with the Party’s stand. The leadership in Republican Party does not get it; they are driven by radicals faking in the guise of conservatism, they want to “impose” their will on America, like the Talibans in Afghanistan. Thanks to the moderate Republicans, who dumped some of them like Santorum, Gingrich, Cain and Bachman, more dumping is warranted.

Republican platform on women is not acceptable and shamefully we will lose the majority in the house if we don’t get our act together. Save the majority, and save the nation by keeping checks and balances intact, let go of Romney-Ryan, they are not worth standing up for.
