The GOP is comprised predominantly of wimps and quivering toadies beholden to cash and more cash. Which is why I no longer send money to the RNC though they call me all the time. Note to those in Fornicalia: if you receive a call from (213) 232-2360, it’s the RNC soliciting cash. Refuse the call. Don’t pick up. Send your checks or cash only to those candidates at your local level. Send your donations directly — eliminate the GOP middle-man.
Dale Peterson speaks directly and bluntly. Why can’t the GOP?
I am going to send this man money, though I live completely across the nation from him. If we don’t start supporting people like him, then Conservatism is doomed.
This man needs to aspire to greater office.

That is a guy I could support… A Marine, a cop, a horseman, and he carries a 30-30 Winchester too…
And he speaks his mind, no PC bullshit, no appeasement, just honest truth, and lots of it!
You got it, Fred. It’s that kind of plain speaking that we so desperately need. It’s why I shipped him money already, about an hour ago.

Four years ago I published this post, mostly as a joke, hoping to point out how stupid it was to consider electing a guy with no experience that would dig us further into catastrophic debt.
Some joke, huh?
I’m not laughing any longer.
I could EASILY live in the hills of Alabama.
It’s no laughing matter anymore, is it Greybeard?
Tyler is proving to be correct, again and again.
We learn nothing from history.

Damn! 🙂 Yep, he’s gonna get a few of my $$ too! 🙂
He’d get my vote.

Awesome!
NFO, cj, Beth: please, PLEASE, send him some money via his website to enable him to acquire the position he so clearly deserves. I sent him $500; you can send him what you can.

Tremendous. I believe he means it too. Wish he was running in NC.
David, I think you can see this is a man who is above corruption and “moderation.” He truly believes in what he says and how he says it. He is a clear and refreshing admonition of Conservatism.

I heard him on Glenn Beck this morning, he is the real deal!
I thought the message was excellent.
However, I sure wish “his” saddle had a rifle scabbard on it!!
Otherwise, the 30-30 Winchester was only a “prop” added for effect.
As a Texan, growing up with working cowboys and ponies, no-one carried a 30-30 in your hands with the reins!!!
To see how much the pro gun rights movement has worked, one need only ask if such a commercial could even have been considered, with a candidate and a rifle, say… 30 years ago.
The deep, dark secret of open carry is that people get used to it and that it isn’t a threat to anyone to go around armed. No one has put up any statistics showing greater crime or deaths due to firearms per given population in open carry vs. concealed carry only States. That a politician can, today, carry a rifle with him in a campaign commercial is a demonstration of just how much the mood of this Nation has changed since the early 1950’s.
The Left doesn’t want you to think about that.
It is one of the pathways out of our troubled times…as a civil right creates civility and being armed does just that.
AJ: don’t know how it was in Virginia, but it wasn’t all that terribly long ago in Fornicalia when it was customary to see long guns carried in gun racks in pickup trucks. Say, 25 or 30 years ago? My, how times change.
