			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Libertarians are such stinking hypocrites.  They talk endlessly about the evils of big government, but when it comes down to elections they will fling themselves on the biggest government they can find, as long as it promises to protect them from the big, bad, social conservative.  Roger Simon over at PJ Media <a href="http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2012/02/09/the-santorum-surprise/2/">http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2012/02/09/the-santorum-surprise/2/</a>  joins in the chorus of libertarians shocked that the statist Romney is being challenged by gasp, horror a man who believes the Bible about homsexuality.  No not that!  Anything but that!</p>
<p>This is libertarianism?  Supporting Gov. Romney-care?  The man who thinks government should be in charge of every employer/employee relationship.  The man who thinks the government should force every adult to purchase health insurance.  The man who thinks the government should be involved in every medical decision made by doctor or patient.  This is the man &#8220;libertarians&#8221; want, because the thought of a social conservative makes their poor delicate libertarian hearts all a flutter.</p>
<p>Look I am not happy about Sen. Santorum&#8217;s record on spending.  He is a compassionate conservative, which Pres. Bush showed us means watch your wallet tax payer.  But he isn&#8217;t defending the indefensible of socialized medicine as Gov. Romney continues to do to this day.  Santorum is a compassionate Conservative, but he IS a Conservative.  Romney is, as I said, nothing a man of  no principles, whose only reason for going to DC is to &#8220;make Washington work.&#8221;  I don&#8217;t want Washington to work, I want Washington to get out of the way so the American people can get back to work.</p>
<p>None of this matters to &#8220;libertarians.&#8221;   Their love of liberty ends when social conservatives express Freedom of Speech.  They rallied to the genuine, unquestionably statist Obama in 08 and they will again, because What PJ O&#8217;Rourke said about liberals and liberty applies to libertarians as well.  &#8221;The only freedom they want is the freedom to say bad words and put anything they want in their mouths.  It is the freedom of two year old.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It isn&#8217;t half time, it&#8217;s the free skate.  Unfortunately in the short program of President Obama, the US fell on all three jump passes and a spin.  We are dead last going into the free skate.</p>
<p>Which would be fine if we had a GOP nominee with a quad.  Gov. Perry&#8217;s job creation in the Great State of Texas should have been that quad.  But, as always seems to happen when a Texas Republican leaves Texas, Perry managed to bungle the only message the American people wanted to hear right now:  here&#8217;s how I created jobs in my state, here&#8217;s how I am going to create jobs in the United States.</p>
<p>Santorum is a compassionate conservative, and you can insert my eye roll here.  But Romney is not anything, not conservative, not liberal, he is a zero.  Obama is many things but mostly he is a man of principle.  Alas, they are the Marxist principles of one determined to punish the enemies of socialism.   But still they are principles.</p>
<p>We need a quad, we desperately need a quad.   I just don&#8217;t see anyone in the GOP with one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, sorry if I got your hopes up I am not converting, I am taking a stand for Liberty, the First Amendment, for whatever shreds of The Constitution are left in this country.  The Secretary of Health and Human Services as decreed that the Catholic church will surrender it&#8217;s principles in the name of the god of Universal Healthcare.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/290276/were-all-catholics-now-david-french">http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/290276/were-all-catholics-now-david-french</a></p>
<p>You can not attack the Liberty of one citizen without attacking the Liberty of all.  A fact those who call themselves &#8220;liberal&#8221; conveniently forget whenever a fellow citizen dares to commit the liberal heresy of standing by ancient traditions and institutions.  An attack on the Freedom of Conscience of Catholics is an attack on all of our Freedoms.  I stand today side by side with Catholic Americans whose Free Exercise of Religion is also my own.   Furthermore I demand that Congress impeach Sec. Sebelius for violating the First Amendment.</p>

<p>If it weren&#8217;t for mindless French bigotry the State of Israel might not exist for France to constantly undermine.   So Merci stinking bigots.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over at National Review Online they printed up George Will&#8217;s comments on Herman Cain</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/280278/george-will-cain-hes-sort-strolling-president-nro-staff">George Will on Cain: ‘He’s Sort of Strolling for President’</a></p>
<div><a>By </a><a>NRO Staff</a></div>
<div>Posted on October 16, 2011 6:41 P</div>

<blockquote><p>“We’re having a kind of Andy Warhol primary where everyone is leader for 15 minutes. And it’s Cain’s turn today. But it’s not clear that Cain has staying power. He’s not running for president; he’s sort of strolling for president without an infrastructure. It’s pretty and cute and nice, but whether that works, we can be doubtful.” — George F. Will, speaking on ABC’s <em>This Week</em></p></blockquote>
<p>But see that&#8217;s why I like Herman Cain.  Mr. Cain knows he is running for President, not the Messiah.  Cain is running a political campaign not a religious revival.  He has a common sense and a sense of perspective  I find greatly refreshing in a Presidential candidate.  He doesn&#8217;t think he can make &#8220;lame beggars walk&#8221; or turn back the seas;  he thinks he knows how to balance a budget.  I would so settle for that right now.</p>
