Why do members of both parties belong to Bildenberg, CRF, Secret Societies , and NWO organizations? Time to get back to a constitutional government and states rights. Oh Yeah, ban Real ID, too. Promote using a passport for ID. Maybe we are starting to understand behind the likes of CFR, UN, Federal Reserve, etc. really are for and what really is a hidden agenda.

"n all respect Mr. Carey, many of us were proud members of the 1994 Republican Revolution." Let's not forget the Reagan Revolution! LL Great point Dan….

Holy... WOW! "When patience has begotten false estimates of its motives, when wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality." "The oppressed should rebel, and they will continue to rebel and raise disturbance until their civil rights are fully restored to them and all partial distinctions, exclusions and incapacitations are removed." "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." "Every generation needs a new revolution." All above statements were made by Thomas Jefferson. A tin horn dictator? Revolutions aren’t for Americans?!

“When patience has begotten false estimates of its motives, when wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality.”

“The oppressed should rebel, and they will continue to rebel and raise disturbance until their civil rights are fully restored to them and all partial distinctions, exclusions and incapacitations are removed.”

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

However, we simply can not attack the problem from the one end. Because politicians will listen to what their constituents tell them. We demand that of them. And if their constituents keep voting in a big government Republican In Name Only, then they are enabling that behavior that you decry. If you want more "conservative" (small "c" not large "C" conservative) government from your leaders, then you really need to get together with like minded people and write and call on every opportunity to demand that they vote in the small "c" conservative manner. It's a lot easier for them to walk onto the floor of the House or Senate with a stack of papers that say "my constituents demand _____" to justify the vote. The "other side" does this with great regularity. On our side we simply say "I have too much else to do..." If it matters that much, then you HAVE to get active by calling and writing and showing up at Conventions and the like. The more people like you and I who speak up the more our voices are counted!

Everyone wants smaller government unless you are talking about the part of government they benefit from. But that is for another blog post. This blog post was produced from the fatigue of hearing platitudes without specifics at the convention. What really triggered me, was when Senator Coleman quoted Reagan, "Government is not the solution, government is the problem." I love that quote, but sometimes I get the impression that certain Republicans only think the government is a problem if democrats control it. It is a problem no matter who controls it, which is why it must be limited. We as Republicans must fight to keep it limited. LL,

One thing I would add though is that these questions need to be asked of another group of people as well....they need to be asked of an increasingly psychotic electorate who demands government programs be reduced....UNLESS you try to touch their pet program and then it is sacrosanct! Our leadership is only PART of the problem. LL You raise too many good points to answer in comments Steve.
