You want some economic and political perspective today? Watch these three videos when you can (now added as “Favorites” to the PTBC YouTube Channel —now with over 600 subscribers!).
See if you can’t see where actual conservatives like me — and most of the thousands of folks who visit this web site daily — are coming from. People who, like me, resented George W. Bush and other Republicans (and in Canada, the Conservative Party), for acting like fiscal liberals or “progressives”, not conservatives, with their reckless borrowing and spending and meddling in the economy and free markets and social engineering through monetary policy, and so on.
Peter Schiff was right (new) – 2002 to 2009 (10 minutes)
Ron Paul Was Right (1983-2008) (9 minutes)
Thomas Sowell Blames Housing Bust on Frank… (3.5 minutes)
See if you can spot the seeds of the massive movement (and one of the most positive in history, as far as I’m concerned) called the “tea party” movement and the popularity of folks like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck and several others who were early critics of government spending and borrowing under either Republican or Democratic rule (or the Conservatives or Liberals in Canada). And why liberals and other “progressives” such as socialists and communists and their media —hate that tea party movement and the people who are positive about it —and hate it not just passively but with a vengeance I’ve rarely seen in politics or in mainstream pop culture before.
Liberals and other “progressives” in politics and the media constantly try to cover up the popularity and success of that movement, or obfuscate it or insult it, or in the case of the likes of Sarah Palin of Glenn Beck and others, they attempt to character-assassinate them and their families and their careers —with an unfettered, sputtering rage and a hideous display of abject hate. It’s clearly because those champions of conservatism are wrecking all the plans of the “progressives” —wherever they come from.
See if you can’t understand why when asked by one of the most important pollsters who Americans would vote for, more said “The Tea Party” (if it actually existed as a political party), than the Republican Party. And why I’m sure the Conservatives Party of Canada would suffer a similar polling fate. I’m sure it’s why the Conservative Party of Canada fails to really tilt the scales in their favor at election time. Taken together, the “Tea Party” and the Republican Party would slaughter the Democratic Party in an election today. But divided, as they are, they’d get pummeled by the Dems.
Tea Party Tops GOP on Three-Way Generic Ballot
…In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided.
Among voters not affiliated with either major party, the Tea Party comes out on top. Thirty-three percent (33%) prefer the Tea Party candidate, and 30% are undecided. Twenty-five percent (25%) would vote for a Democrat, and just 12% prefer the GOP.
Among Republican voters, 39% say they’d vote for the GOP candidate, but 33% favor the Tea Party option.
