Iowa and Fox News have given so much to the nation. It’s time to recognize them for their values and character at the end of the day with scrutiny

What has Fox News and Iowa given the nation?

On Wednesday 12/28/2011 Fox News officially, without saying as much, threw its support fully behind candidate Romney.

Beginning with Fox News In the Morning and ending with Fox Talk Yakkers In the Evening, it was wall to wall Romney Goodness Day.

For Newt, it was a full day of hilarious jokes and wise cracks.

Personally, they FORCED me to love Newtie ALL THE MORE because the LAST thing *I* need is some shifty emasculated New York outfit telling me who I ought to like.

In fairness, all this attention on Romney was not his fault, but he basked in the glow. I retched.

What has Iowa given the nation?

Iowa, God Bless em, is full of GOOD people. But as a group they have given us exactly THREE things:

1. Taters. (Po-Ta-Toes)…  Iowa Spuds! Some of the best in the world!
   __________

2. Bill Shatner (Born Riverside, Iowa March 22, 2233) who was the best and most conservative minded captain of the Starship Enterprise fighting for earth and the Federation of Planets.
   ________
   
3. Heartburn.

With Fox News and the good voters of Iowa protecting our back, it looks likely that Obama, who is definitely a Klingon sympathizer, will continue to rack up historical firsts.

The actual fact here is simply that what Fox News doesn’t understand is that the conservative electorate isn’t focused right now. How could we be?

At the end of the day when the last man standing is nominated, whoever it is, it’s going to be like a full Federation raid on a miserable little Klingon outpost. It’s going to be a memorable massacre

Now that’s some scrutiny you can put in the bank at the end of the day.

BTW, one last measure of scrutiny… NEVER trust any talk yakkers that uses the phrase, “At the end of the day.” It’s a sign that they are uninspired talking point deliverers at the end of the day.

NASCAR fans….Something to motivate you to the polls. The next race at Talladega after Obama wins will be run with electric cars only. Since they have to recharge for a minimum of 6 hours every fifty miles, Race Week really will take a week. No passes issued to go out for more beer.

Are You A Real Conservative Yet?

This election season has brought in a boatload of new folks. Maybe you are one of them. Chances are that you are new to conservatism. All things considered in your life, you reason, and from everything you hear and read, you ARE a conservative. At least more conservative than not. And this is just fine.

I suspect most folks are born liberal and have to learn conservatism. You might be only 80% conservative now, but the rest will come in time, if that’s your fate. Stuff like that.

Once upon a time there was a guy named Nemo or Nero, Neto..something like that and he was so confused that he went to see a computer generated program lady to find out what he was. All he learned on that visit was that she couldn’t bake cookies worth a dang and that sometimes a spoon is not a spoon. The boy was mighty confused. The good news was that he eventually figured out that not only was he a conservative, but the most powerful and best conservative ever grown in a test tube. Therefore there is time and hope for you as well.

You might be surprised to learn that real conservatives are not iconoclastic. That’s a big word that means we don’t all think alike.

I happen to be a social conservative and a fiscal socialist. What this means is that I believe in God, country, motherhood, etc;, but I also believe that rich folks have too much money and I want some of it. I remain a conservative by the letter of the law because I’m not only willing to work to get their money, but also, I wouldn’t want it any other way.

But one thing I have learned…and learned the hard way. There are two classes of conservatives…

• Rich conservatives

• Poor conservatives

AND these two sets of conservatives are NOT the same. What I have learned is that as for rich folks, MONEY TAKES CARE OF MONEY. Most often, rich conservatives and rich liberals have a lot more in common with each other than with poor conservatives.

In the big cities, where chaos reigns, you might not notice the differences. But in small town America, it’s pretty glaring. In small town America, the poor folks know who the rich folks are.

Try me out. You live in a small town and you know the rich folks. You might be one to say, “Hey, old rich farmer Fred acts just like one of us!”

Right away you just made a class distinction. “Hey, farmer Fred puts his coveralls on one suspender at a time just like me. And he’s always good for a wave or a hello down at the corner soda shop. He milks his own cows and gets in his own hay. He’s a regular guy!”

However, farmer Fred is not a regular poor guy. He’s not because if the by gone doggedest hottest summer to ever come along drys up all of his hay crop, and all his cow’s udders fall off, farmer Fred still has plenty of money in the bank. He’ll get by…..and he KNOWS it. But since he’s a conservative too, he doesn’t get cocky about it.

Now, a real conservative wouldn’t have farmer Fred envy. A real conservative would be glad that his friend and neighbor, rich old farmer Fred was able to weather the summer. And real conservative farmer Fred doesn’t flaunt his wealth. He might go on a cruise in Alaska at the end of the long dry summer, but he doesn’t brag on it. Rich and poor conservatives get along.

Unfortunately, farmer Fred might be on the cruise with the most liberal rich family in the county. Money runs with money and money takes care of money…most times.

Which brings us to Newt Gingrich. (A few columns back, I invited him to comment, and I still haven’t heard from him, btw…)

Newt Gingrich is a rich conservative. This is undeniable. What’s also undeniable is that for years I have watched as he hobnobbed with all the richest conservative folks, societies, clubs, groups, combines, PACS, you name it. You never saw him partying with any poor conservatives.

So, it strikes me as a bit odd that nowadays, you are far more likely to see him in an Iowa coffee shop slurping bad coffee and eating a pastry rather than in the halls of the rich and famous conservatives slurping wine and eating cheese. Even better, the poor conservatives have formed the base of his support, and most of his fat cat rich friends have turned their backs on him.

For YEARS Newt has carefully cultivated rich conservatives…and now, even as he stands at the foot of the throne, they deny him thrice before the chicken calls at daylight. But the poor conservatives flock to him.

Newt, have you learned YOUR lesson? RICH Republicans are often just another name for ELITE Republicans….and those folks are often on a different track than POOR Republicans.

Newt, since your base of support these days is most often made up of POOR Republicans, will you espouse their interests before and after your ascension, or will you turn back to your old fat cat (Elite Country Club) Republican pals who no doubt will once again allow you to be their friend?

There is a lesson here for us all. Money takes care of money until they turn on you.

This is a really strange election season. Mui el loco, as they say a little further south.

Former Fed Chairman, Alan Greenberry said a curious thing one time.

He allowed that he followed certain indicators outside of the normal ones you might expect to give him a sense of how the country’s finances were financing.

I could imagine him sitting in his car each day counting the number of freight cars passing by on the morning train. He never said exactly what he was watching…so I suppose that is as good as anything. Could have been how business was going down at the hotdog stand. Who knows? But it put a bug in my ear.

Personally, I find the little things very intriguing. Take my “cuzzin” Alex, my long time friend in mother Russia. Today in my inbox I find a note. He said, simply:

This is a first politician who could say the truth: 
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57340910-503544/gingrich-sticks-by-comment-calling-palestinians-invented-people/

I didn’t need to follow the link to translate what he was talking about. He was speaking, of course, about Newt’s statement about our friends the Palestinians, hardly any of which wouldn’t give away the chance to have their own nation complete with guaranteed breakfast in bed each morning if only they could add a few Jewish scalps to their hairpiece collection.

Beyond the obvious point cuzzin Alex was making, you will observe that Russians respect powerful American presidents, and Alex respects Newt above all. Unlike a great many of our elected officials, you’re more likely to get truth from a Russian citizen than lies. They may lie out of politeness, but outside of that, they don’t play games.

This is a little thing, to be sure…but it’s a big indicator to me which candidate our foreign friends find worthy.

In other matters, the TV talk yakkers on the other side of the aisle (and not a few on our side) are going through breathless writings and contortions to explain to us simple people what’s REALLY going on….but friends, they over think. The truth is very simple.

As you know, Beck is waiting for George Washington to ride out from behind the monument that bears his name on a white horse to set things right in a troubled nation.

IF Washington did suddenly appear, he wouldn’t be elected if the elites decided to shove him down our throats. He would be elected in a landslide if we thought it was our idea. Likewise, Romney’s problem is not Romney so much as Romney’s friends in the GOP.

This is the year that WE WILL NOT vote like we’re told. This is the year we’ll vote for the MOST conservative candidate that we can find that is electable.

Right now, the choice is overwhelmingly Newt Gingrich, and a big reason he is so popular with us is because he so unpopular with them 

Right now the Tea Party is exactly 180 degrees out from the left and the elitists. And this is exactly where we need to be, because a confirmed lib will tell you each and every time who you SHOULD NOT vote for by telling you WHO to vote for. Trust the libs in this. Listen to what they have to say, and then do the exact opposite. It works every time is is tried. Tis a shame it is not tried more often.
