R.S.F. America

Conservative Comment by Roger Scott Francis

Wagging The Dog

Posted on | January 19, 2012 | No Comments

Representation in Congress and the often controversial electoral college were carefully crafted to assure a more balanced voice in government for all people, regardless of where they live. Yet, it has come to pass that a tiny handful of comparatively minor states [one of which doesn't even assign delegates] has, somehow, gained the awesome power to determine the slate of presidential candidates for all the rest of us.

The demise of several quality people before primary season is even fully underway is evidence of the glaring flaws in our selection process, and the influence of a left-leaning media that has outlived its usefulness. The latest casualty, of course, is Rick Perry who withdrew from the race today. What now remains for most of America to choose from is a moderate, a Conservative, a semi-Conservative and a nut-job. I’ll leave it for you to attach the labels to the appropriate candidates.

At this defining moment in our nation’s history, we need more than someone who can deliver a knockout blow to the out of control ideologue in the White House … we need the right person that is both willing and able to rapidly reverse course and pull the ship-of-state off the rocks. That means repealing Obamacare, halting the spending, cutting the deficit, balancing the budget, creating a healthy growth environment for the private sector, strengthening our military and restoring confidence in our allies as well as fear in our enemies around the world. These are daunting tasks for which we need a game changer not just a game player! Does that person still exist among our remaining choices?

Is there a reason we can’t begin the selection process with different, perhaps more significant states each election cycle? We’ve already tossed most of our traditions out the window, why not this one? Maybe we just let everyone vote before the results are released. Whatever the solution, the few can no longer be trusted to wield so much power for the many.

Do you realize that under our present nominating system, Abraham Lincoln wouldn’t even be able to get a campaign off the ground? He couldn’t afford to run, the media would probably pick on his ‘mole’ as a disqualifying flaw, paint him as a redneck … and, as likely as not, they’d miscount the votes he received in the land of Iowa!

Pretty In Pink

Posted on | January 17, 2012 | No Comments

Remember the stealth drone the Iranians forced down and captured? You know, the one The Nutty Professor so politely asked them to return? Wel-l-l, it seems like “pretty please” foreign policy works! They’re returning it … sort of. The Hill reports:

Iran now plans to return a stealth drone to the White House — but in the form of a pink miniature toy.

After Iran captured a U.S. stealth drone last month, an Iranian company has now started making miniature toy replicas of the drone, up to 2,000 per day, according to Iranian state radio. Reza Kioumarsi, head of the company making the toys, Ayeh Art group, told Iran’s state radio that a pink model has been picked out to send back to the White House, according to the Washington Post.

President Obama requested the Iranians return the downed U.S. RQ-170 drone that was captured and displayed on Iranian state TV. The Iranians have made no indication they intend to return the drone, but have claimed to gain new technological advances from it.

Now, it appears the White House will get something from Iran after all — it will just be 1/18th the size of the real thing.

I suppose pink is better than yellow. Do you suppose they’ll be sending a blue one to Michelle?

Free, Black and Twenty-One

Posted on | January 12, 2012 | No Comments

For once I agree with Michelle Obama … she doesn’t deserve to be stereotyped as “an angry black woman.”

Just because she wrote, “blacks must join in solidarity to combat the white oppressor” in her Princeton thesis doesn’t make her angry. Statements like, “America is a downright mean country” or, “for the first time I am proud of my country” don’t indicate any real hostility beyond the presence of a huge chip on her shoulder.

To characterize living in the White House as “hell”, now that’s a horse of a different stripe! Such a statement indicates a genuine lack of appreciation for the secret Halloween extravaganzas, gala bashes and imported pizza parties we taxpayers have funded. Posh vacations featuring casts of thousands, including separate transportation and security arrangements also funded by our hard earned tax dollars, may or may not fall into the same ‘hellish’ category … she hasn’t publicly commented.

No, I think she actually has a point here. A more politically correct characterization might simply be “an ungrateful lady of color” … who just happens to be a Leftist ideologue, seeking to punish America for the freedom and unique opportunity it has afforded her to assist with the destruction of its very foundations. But stereotypical? I don’t think so.

Bold Differences

Posted on | January 10, 2012 | No Comments

As we begin the primary season, will voters truly understand the significance of the task at hand and the effect it will have upon the future of our nation? It’s troubling to see a radical like Ron Paul, on one hand, or even a moderate like Mitt Romney, on the other, gaining so much momentum … when what we need to assure Obama’s defeat are candidates that can demonstrate sharp contrasts between themselves and the incumbent.

Paul is as radical as Obama, just coming at things from a different angle. Extremes, by any other label, are still extremes. If you look at Romney’s actual record [including his somewhat destructive stance with regard to Second Amendment rights] versus what he claims to believe, he is not only something less than Conservative but has a toe or two over the line pointing Left!

Most people see the ideological differences between radical Left and radical Right as a straight line … political opposites. I see those differences as a circle. Here’s what I mean and where I would place our current crop of candidates:

If you are far enough to either side you meet yourself ‘coming around the corner’, and one extreme is as dangerous for America as the other. We have been a center-right country for a couple of hundred years and, so far, it has worked out pretty well. Recent years have seen a slight Leftward drift because of a certain entitlement mentality brought about by half-a-century of nearly pure prosperity … and a hard push in that direction by the Democrats and Obama’s ‘punish America’ philosophy of the past three years.

The bold differences that must be painted for November voters require a firm grip on a truly Conservative brush. One can only hope these people who wield so much power in early primary states, such as New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida, take their responsibility seriously and have the vision to see beyond mere rhetoric and empty political promises.

Santorum Won Iowa?

Posted on | January 6, 2012 | No Comments

Rick Santorum may not only have won Iowa by catapulting from nowhere into national prominence but may have, in fact, actually won the Caucus!

Edward True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page. When he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa got the count right, he said he was shocked to find they hadn’t. “When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and I’ve got a 20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa,” True said. “Not Mitt Romney.”

At his fifty-three-person caucus at the Garrett Memorial Library, Romney received two votes. According to the Iowa Republican Party’s website, True’s precinct cast twenty-two votes for Romney. Here’s hoping it was just a simple mistake … it almost feels as though we’re playing with Democrats here.

“I imagine there’s a good possibility that somebody instead of hitting two might have hit twenty-two by accident,” True said. “This is huge, it essentially changes who won.” I hope so. I’d hate to think the Republican establishment wants to keep Conservative candidates out of the running so badly, they’d start pulling these kinds of shenanigans!
