ROMNEY FOR FAMILY VALUES?
Think former Massachusetts Governor and GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is a conservative who is strong in support of family values? This poster was the subject of a recent WorldNetDaily article. You can read the article here. Look at the flyer and make up your mind. I've made mine up.

A Chance For Future Conservative Leadership
A lot of changes have been going on in Capitol Hill recently. Those changes have not necessarily been in laws, but in people. A fairly large number of people are resigning, retiring, or passing away.
In the conservative-leaning seats, men like Rep. Charlie Norwood of Georgia and Senator Craig Thomas of Wyoming have recently passed away, and now Idaho Senator Larry Craig is resigning. Please do not take me wrong and think that I am trying to politicize unhappy events. I am merely trying to take stock of recent events, and to try to find the course which we are embarking on. I hope it is a more positive course.
On top of the previous names, men like Senator John Warner of Virginia are retiring. To that I am gleeful. Warner lost pretty much all of the little respect I had for him when he commented that homosexuality is not immoral. What a ludicrous statement!
What do all of these have in common? The answer is, a chance to bring up new conservative leaders. Mr. Norwood was a great conservative of faith (the best kind), and God rest his soul. We certainly do miss him. In his place, though, has arisen another fellow conservative. More exciting about this one, Rep. Paul Broun, Jr., is that he wasn't even supposed to win. His establishment opponent, former State Senator Jim Whitehead, was supposed to win handily. Broun pulled off, in my opinion, one of the best political upsets in recent history. The Bible says we will know people "by their fruits", and I believe Broun has shown enough fruits to allow me to trust him as a trusted conservative.
God rest the soul of Senator Thomas as well. Here is another good man that we certainly miss. In his place has arisen one Senator John Barrasso. It is too early to tell what kind of man Mr. Barrasso is, but he earned a lot of respect from me early when he voted against the Senate Immigration Proposal earlier this summer. He had just been appointed, and already he voted as a conservative, and took a crucial stand for the early part of his Senate career. I have high hopes for him.
Hopefully, these two new members of our Legislative branch will prove to be a new batch of leaders for this new generation of conservatism. I am not talking about a physical generation, but conservatism is going into a new generation. To me, it has proved itself to be the right, and most common sense approach to solving the problems of today. This age is certainly a most crucial crossroads to prove whether America stands or falls. The way that fights for family values, America's Christian heritage, against the wickedness and scar of abortion, for smaller government, less taxes, against globalism, against the North American Union and NAFTA, against Red China, against illegal immigration and the clash of cultures, against the cult of multiculturalism, and for an education system that no longer fails America's students, but brings them up to be the world's brightest, this way will be the right way to preserve, and grow, America. The only way that does this is the pure, original conservative way. I'm not talking about a fake offshoot of conservatism, either. THIS IS CRUCIAL TO WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO PRESERVE AMERICA!
As for the upcoming retirements and resignations, I can only hope this will bring more true and trusted conservatives to office. In Colorado, a good conservative in Senator Wayne Allard is retiring. A trusted conservative is already in the race, former Rep. Bob Schaffer. I have endorsed him, and know he has the stuff to be a conservative leader. In Virginia, Warner's retirement leaves open a chance for another conservative. This one will be a tough battle, like Schaffer in Colorado, but it's one worth fighting. I am hoping former Virginia Governor, and Presidential candidate, Jim Gilmore jumps into this race. He would be a trusted conservative, from what I have seen so far. Also, there are numerous House seats that are represented by retiring congressmen and women. Here will be more openings for the future of conservatism to find a root, and begin their leadership.
I truly believe God willed, and allowed Paul Broun, Jr. to receive a time in the House. I hope that is the case too with the other openings that are now popping up.

PAT BUCHANAN
Found these excellent videos on YouTube. Enjoy the words of one of America's greatest statesmen of today. Use it as a rallying cry for conservatism if you will!
"428cjet" hit it on the head with words he posted on the second video's site. Hey "428cjet", I hope you don't mind me using your words, because I believe you said it best. He said, "Interesting, when Pat was talking about Illegal Immigration, Illegal Wars, NAFTA, WTO, NAU, when he predicted a major terrorist event would happen a year before 911 because of our involvement in the middle east. When he talked about losing our industries and all the rest - they called him crazy and an Isolationist - if we only had elected him we would be so much better off. The man is a walking history book - would have loved to see him take apart Al Gore in a debate."
Pat, thank you for all you have done for this nation and for conservatism, and God bless ya as you continue to fight for America!
