CPAC – The Usual and Unusual Suspects (Day One)

Friday, February 19th, 2010

If you haven’t read my previous post yet, you might want to check out what is going on… Basically, I’m at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee’s yearly hootenanny.  It is living up to all hype and exceeding expectations.  In fact, the Boston Globe *may* have put it best, interestingly enough.  Read here.

You would expect the usual suspects.  There was Mitt Romney.  For me, though  the slick  and finely tuned speech was delivered beautifully, he fell flat.  Nothing can shroud the inaccuracies of a fool gone astray with Government-sponsored Massachusetts heath care reform, now swimming in bankruptcy as it’s Chief-RINO utters to a captive audience:

Strong families will have excellent healthcare. Getting healthcare coverage for the uninsured should be accomplished at the state level, not a one-size-fits all Pelosi plan. The right way to rein-in healthcare cost is not by making it more like the Post Office, it’s by making it more like a consumer-driven market. The answer for healthcare is market incentives not healthcare by a Godzilla-size government bureaucracy!

You can read the complete text of the speech at The Daily Caller.

Facts suggest that state level intervention, sponsored and passed by Mitt Romney, is a failure as well.  Until Romney comes clean on the failures and his exact reference in regard to “reform,” I cannot get over the hypocracy.  When all Conservatives stop trying to intervene and speak only in terms of reform to cut cost and create a system driven by doctors and patients, I am out to lunch.

I think, overall, my annoyance lies in the constant vieing for attention and Presidential ego.  It’s no wonder since all media coverage is speculative of the 2012 frontrunners and their latest maneuvers.  One example: Politico, “CPAC embraces the new Mitt Romney.”

I realize the groundwork is laid early.  However, this forum is more the benefit of the speech given by Dana Loesch of St. Louis. Why?  Because it wasn’t about her.  It was about giving advice to a population who seem teaming at the bit to continue momentum into a strong 2010 message delivered in a crisp white envelope to Washington in a few short months.

Once video is posted, I’ll be sure to update this post, however, the summary of her message was to get out of your seat, be unafraid in your opposition — talk about it.  Gather together and leave “no patriot behind.”  When we are attacked, we lift them back up with our collective efforts.  “It isn’t an easy fight.”  Yet, her tone was just right for the moment… bright and encouraging with the urgency we must embrace if we are to continue.  Yes, we’re jubilant in success, but not congratulatory and boastful.  We want to continue with the people’s passion.

The reason I know Dana is where we should be casting our attention… did you see the last paragraph of the first-posted “read here” above?

Yes… this is a quiz.

What is Political Mommentary?

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Here I find myself in the throws of Blissdom.  Surrounded by engaged, smart “mommies” who wish to make their passions into a business, big or small.  Being here as a “political” blogger is dicey, at best.  Frankly, many Moms are far more engaged in everyday conversations to get through the many responsibilities they juggle.  Conversations highlighting political punditry are not priority numero uno.  I can say, however, that never do they judge my considerable passion (bordering on problem) for the daily news and its impact.

I, however, feel a small amount of personal satisfaction being here at Blissdom.  Last year, with one post on a tiny blogger blog, with an idea in my head, I registered and blindly flew to Nashville searching for information.  My best friend lives in Nashville.  If it didn’t work out, I would have, at the very least, been able to know her children more deeply and share a beer over some appetizers.  However, it did work out.  A year later, I guess… I am a Blissdom success story.  At least in my own mind.

Last year, I went home and began registering and protecting my idea.  I launched it and I own it.  That means, at times, it takes a backseat to my job, my husband and my children.  It also means that I knew from the very start that the balance remained solely in me and for me.  I need not be anything other than me.

A year later…

Smart Girl Nation airs live at RFC Radio and is also available for download from iTunes.

It is a personal joy to be able to work with many smart, amazing conservatives who wish to make information more readily available thereby acomodating the busy lives we all lead.  If you disagree with my perspective, I am open to the continuing dialog.  I find rich discussion always leads to a deeper understanding.  If you wish to stick around, subscribe!  You’re gonna love the new look I’m working on.  I’ll be rolling out the new Mommentary to include all things digital.

If’ you’ve been around awhile…thank you.  This fun, fulfilling ride is only made possible through your participation and encouragement.

2010: The Year the TeaParty Shines

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Well, if you tried to watch my Momtv show you found out that technology can be tricky with webshows.  Basically, your support was so overwhelming that we crashed the system. It was delayed and upset the entire time.  Therefore, let me share with you a Teaparty sentiment that I hope you embrace and allow to fan the flame of the Conservative movement.  We cannot be beholden to any Father, only on the guiding wisdom of Forefathers.

Here is a video from today’s “backyard” Teaparty:

P.S. The amazing speaker was Paul Curtman, of Youtube fame, for calling out Missouri Senator, Claire McCaskill, requesting her apology for trashing our constitution.  He is running for Missouri State Representative.  I say, bring it Paul!

In tribute to the teaparty, I decided to mock Al Gore’s doomsday poem he produced to further exploit his personal cash cow: climate change.  I hope you enjoy it:

GORE POEM:                                                    UNGORE POEM:

One thin September soon                                   Two full December moons

A floating continent disappears                      A vast majority did cry

In midnight sun                                                 In protest

Vapors rise as                                                  Their voices did rise

Fever settles on an acid sea                               Fever against lies

Neptune’s bones dissolve                                   Statism dissolves

Snow glides from the mountain                       The mountain of legislation removed

Ice fathers floods for a season                          Rules flood the power machine

A hard rain comes quickly                                 A teaparty comes quickly

Then dirt is parched                                          Then the dirtbags are unhinged

Kindling is placed in the forest                        Kindling is placed in their hearts

For the lightning’s celebration                         For the Forefathers celebration

Unknown creatures                                            Truth be known

Take their leave, unmourned                           Senators take their leave, unmourned

Horsemen ready their stirrups                       Patriots ready to stand

Passion seeks heroes and friends                   Passion seeks leaders and friends

The bell of the city                                            The Gadston flag takes flight

On the hill is rung                                              On the hill is flown

The shepherd cries                                            Principles become the cry

The hour of choosing has arrived                  The hour of defeat has arrived

Here are your tools                                            Mr. Gore, here is your sign…

- Al Gore                                                          - Mommentator

I am a committed Conservative.  I believe in the Brushfire of Freedom that was lit by those who knew we must renew our principles – the teapartyers.  I do not support a third party.  I do support the rainbow of people who come together for one, vibrant majority: the liberty-loving, freedom protecting Conservatives.

I hope to join with you in 2010 to continue this momentum.
