Is the GOP becoming New Coke?

With the Obama’s reelection and no gains in the senate it seems that the GOP has decided to go New Coke, to become democrat light, but as history has shown when given a choice people will prefer to choose between two different options generally not two similar ones. Chinese or pizza not Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. Many elite GOPers see the losses of 2012 due to candidates who didn’t have the sense to keep (possibly) honest opinions to themselves, despite the fact they should have known that some so-called “moderates” and independents would react negatively to those opinions. Now I’m not saying they should have lied just gone with simple answers stating they were pro-life and that, that child did nothing to deserve a death penalty, no honest independent would have voted against them if they had said something like that now back to my point. Many elites in the GOP now want to restrict the people from making choices, acting like the democrats in infantalizing people, stopping conservative and Tea Party candidates from running against the establishment choice.

You see the mistake Coke made was that the tests Pepsi used in their ads and research were biased towards Pepsi when coke fell for this they made the mistake that the GOP is now making only now with more far reaching consequences. But Coke quickly learned their flagship product and name sake being “like” their competition didn’t work as they had hoped for. Public reaction to new Coke quickly soured, ironically lead by a minority of people, soon that opinion steam rolled to a point where Coke was forced to return to the real thing and their roots. The GOP will quickly learn that same lesson as their new coke candidates lose and the classic candidates win. For now I believe that conservatives need to think about what they are going to say as your not just running against a democrat but their own version of peovda that will run you into the ground just for the heck of it. We will also need to work together better with less infighting, leave that to the democrats, disagreements are fine but leave the full-fledged fights to the ring.

One last thing for you Tea Party candidates rehearse everything you believe in, you do not need to lie but simplify any opinion that the MSM could below out of proportion to one that most “moderates” and independents wouldn’t hold against you. Know your enemies winning a battle and war is about the plan & preparation as much as the equipment. Memorize every “controversial” conservative social belief according to the MSM and ready yourself for battle.

By the way after Coke Classic was returned to the market New Coke quickly died out, it was then returned to the market in 1990 in small test scale as Coke II and fully in 1992, but soon Coke II withered and was then found only in a few markets where it was popular until its production was ended in August 16 2002. Proving that often a bad idea that is tried and failed should be left in the graveyard of bad ideas.

Solomon.

P.S. I would note it is possible that the GOP is dead with the choices they make, but if they do return later to the “classic” formula (A.K.A. triditional values) they could be repaired and healed to a proper state that people would believe in, preferably keeping an eye on them as well, allowing the Republican Party to pull a Lazarus. But that is yet to be seen if that will happen. 

Is A War Coming Between China and Japan?

If you have watched the news lately you might have seen that China is making a big deal of a bunch of little rocky islands, the Senkaku Islands, which has been contested by the two countries for more then a few years, but now it seems as if things are heating up. And if I was China I'd reconsider the direction they might be taking.

9/11 Eleven Years Later

Eleven years later after the Islamic version of Pearl Harbor, an act far worse then that day of infamy on 12/7/41, where are we today? Unfortunately it is starting to look like September tenth all over again. While we have had two wars (three if you include Libya) and Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Osama Bin Laden are dead and al-Qaeda is believed to be weakened it is very clear that the real problem Islamic fascism is still strong as it was eleven years ago, perhaps even stronger. And in truth Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were not Islamists, oh they might have used the language when needed but they were as Islamic as Hitler was Christian.

And despite What Ron Paul and his followers would have us believe the problem IS Islamic fascism, It has been since the fall of the western Roman empire. In 732AD, 256 years after the collapse of western Rome the Islamic conquers had swept through Spain and started their conquest of France until Charles Martel, also known as Charles the Hammer, grandfather of one of Europe’s great kings Charlemagne, shocked the Caliph at the time with the catastrophic defeat of his army. If it hadn’t been for Charles the Hammer Europe may have gone Islamic, though the progressive historians claim that isn’t true, as they seem to say of everything that is good of the past. 

Now lets move forward in time to the fall of the eastern Roman Empire in 1453AD to the Ottoman Empire, now lets fast forward a few years to 1460 when Vlad III Dracula (yes that Dracula) stood up to the Ottoman Empire and their plans for expansion into Europe. You can read more on that and him Here.

Which brings me back to a few weeks a go with the RNC acceptance speech of Mitt Romney where he failed to mention war especially in this time of Islamic fascism. See it Here. In the last fourteen hundred years Islam has had its eyes on conquering not just the west but the world. Many criticize the Spanish for the Conquistadors actions (and with the exception of their actions against the Aztecs they probably are) they avoid criticizing any of the horrendous actions by Islam.  

Now back to Ron Paul and his antisemitic followers, Iran is not the Soviet Union, Iran is a theocracy that believes their messiah, the Mahdi, will return when the streets run with blood. What sane individual thinks that is like the atheistic (or closeted Christians) of the Soviet Union. Assuming the leadership was mainly atheistic they had no reason to nuke the world. Sadly some of our less sane conspiracy believing fellow citizens would allow the worst until they in desperation would turn to the Vlad Draculas to fight back once the new Caliphate starts imposing their sharia laws upon all.

Unless we wish to end up as a repressed and persecuted minority me must stand together against this new age of fascism, one that has been with us for 1400 years, and our forefathers understood this. But our new progressive geniuses have tried to down play this threat and even ally themselves with this threat as Obama sides with the Muslim Brotherhood which is persecuting the Christians and Jews of Egypt. See that Here, Here, and Here. If we do not stand now who will when they rule.

Malcolm X's Words.

I wanted to post this, in response to something I just saw on Geraldo, it's from a 1965 conversation with Gordon Parks with Malcolm X, just two days before he was assassinated, he said this:

"Listening to leaders like Nasser, Ben Bella, and Nkrumah awakened me to the dangers of racism. I realized racism isn't just a black and white problem. It's brought bloodbaths to about every nation on earth at one time or another."

"Brother, remember the time that white college girl came into the restaurant — the one who wanted to help the Black Muslims and the whites get together — and I told her there wasn't a ghost of a chance and she went away crying? Well, I've lived to regret that incident. In many parts of the African continent I saw white students helping black people. Something like this kills a lot of argument. I did many things as a Black Muslim that I'm sorry for now. I was a zombie then — like all Black Muslims — I was hypnotized, pointed in a certain direction and told to march. Well, I guess a man's entitled to make a fool of himself if he's ready to pay the cost. It cost me 12 years.

"That was a bad scene, brother. The sickness and madness of those days — I'm glad to be free of them."

Glenn Beck Missed a Huge Opportunity Yesterday.

Yesterday Glenn missed an opportunity to point out one of the first nations to be brought down by progressive policies, Rome. First watch this clip from Tuesday June 29th's show then I will explain below, the point you want to see starts at 7:30;



Now while Glenn's "chart" isn't 1oo% accurate the bump he points to isn't ancient Babylon, Egypt, Persia, or Greece. It is ancient Rome the world's first real superpower.

Yes, Bill O'Reilly There is a Slippery Slope, and I Can Prove It.

Yes, Bill O'Reilly There is a Slippery Slope, and I Can Prove It.

With Bill O'Reilly saying that he is “fine with” president Obama acting like a thug in chief to BP instead of someone who has been sworn to follow, obey, and enforce the law I thought I would do my own version of a familiar Christmas article, this one pointed to Bill O'Reilly and all those who are fine with the President of the United States acting like a dictator or thug towards a company who, yes, has made a mess, but it is not a reason to throw away something that isn’t broken.

Bill O'Reilly is NO History Teacher.

For several years now I have had a problem with Bill O'Reilly and his lack of comprehending history and the essence of “If you forget history you are doomed to repeat it.” The first thing I wrote was because of O'Reilly limited scope on history, as a person who has always been captivated with history and historical facts and as an aspiring writer history has proven itself to be full of surprises. And O'Reilly has proven my belief that those with a little knowledge can be
dangerous when they use it in the wrong way. My first article is proof.

My first article was a response to Bill O'Reilly’s Vlad the Assailer from August 14, 2008, O'Reilly comparing the historical Vlad Tepes the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula with Vladimir Putin of today’s Russia, O'Reilly making his usual jump of conclusion used limited knowledge of Vlad Tepes to say and I quote

The Founders Were Fabulous

It seems that the left and progressives want to say and diminish the importance of the Founding Fathers. With the rise of the Tea Parties and the resurgence of the founding history of America the left and progressives have redoubled their offensive against this history and facts.

Proof Christianity Wasn't A Mystery Religion.

I am tired of the claims that Christianity started out as a Mystery Religion, so from the Internet and YouTube I present an Episode of Ancient Discoveries, Machines of the Gods, in five parts. I hate to have to use something that will take up to an hour to watch, but it is in five parts and each part is about ten minutes long so you can watch it in segments and for the time being it will be exactly where you find it again.

Christianity has not used tricks to get people to believe. Faith is a powerful thing if you have faith in anything nothing will be impossible.

And I already know what some are going to say so I am going to destroy that now.
First Honest Christians do not stoop to such trickery, I have found that those who do tend toward cults and cultists. By the way, I don't want to hear any comments about Christianity being a cult. Second the "If Heron was working for secular reasons" argument is some of the biggest BS I have heard in my life, Heron was working at the Library of Alexandria, where do you think he got the name Heron of Alexandria! The Library of Alexandria during its day was the modern equivalent of the Smithsonian, combined with the top engineering schools, and think tanks of today. And just for kicks the Antikythera mechanism proves the secular reasons argument is BS, I have watched most of the Ancient Discoveries episodes and they also prove that argument BS. If you look back to my post They're making the same mistake again. Russia Unveils Stealth Fighter. The US military didn't dismiss Jet Technology for religious reasons, they and others thought it was impossible, all while Nazi Germany and Britain were developing Jets, so historically it would make since that there would be men who would not see the military or other applications of this technology, the myth of religious science retardation is constantly used to shut us up, I am sick and tired of this BS and its time to fight back, ALSO, the show proves to me that Humanity is more then just some evolved animal.

Obama to Limit Potential Uses of Nuclear Weapons

I want to tackle this subject from a different perspective then my usual, I want to tackle this from the perspective of the (a strong) leader of a nation, I'm not but have played a slew of Civilization Games, (Civ III is the best in my opinion) but I digress. Now, I am not the leader of any nation but pretending for the moment I was the leader of a Neo Rome I would never make a statement or policy like what Obama has, not to use nuclear weapons against most non-nuclear countries, no matter what they use against us. This is just asking for something to happen and as to keeping "all options" on the table for nations like North Korea and Iran, I have to be honest I really don't trust Obama and his policies in this area, North Korea and Iran are far more likely to pass the "Nuclear Football" to terrorists or another third party then do the job themselves, and I can just hear their excuse now, "We can not attack a sovereign nation for the "Actions" of terrorists with "loose" connections to (insert your favorite possible enemy nation)." Now, as someone who has played games like Civilization III where a computer opponent with no real personal religion or philosophy's is far more likely to attack you then in real war, I have to speak of personal experience in these games when you have a large military force with an equal might an opponent is far less likely to attack you, when you can demonstrate to an enemy that you can or could destroy them they will be far more likely to just play a war of words.

Now personally looking at history this also proves true, take for example what is known as the golden age of piracy, real pirates not the music and video pirates, it started out with the Privateers who would attack the Spanish treasure ships transporting the riches of the new world to Spain, these Privateers were legitimate pirates who were given what basically could be considered a piracy licence to attack the ships of that nation's enemies, with some restrictions, these Privateers would pay a portion of their booty to their sponsors. This is a good example of what happens when you have a superior military force to your potential enemies.

And to answer any questions of how you deal with pirates and terrorists, for the most part you should treat them as enemy combatants or like saboteurs, they have no rights under the Genia Convention, can be tried in a military court, and can be put to death if found guilty, also to be kind they get some appeals, how about three strikes, three appeals and its over, unless something comes up that would change the facts of your case you don't get any more.

If you are unwilling to show or display that you can destroy an enemy in seconds or a short period of time, you will open yourself up to any number of possible threats to you nation. When you are the leader of a nation great or small your interests should be your people, their God given rights, freedom and security. Balancing these can be hard, but it is doable.

P.S. I have been away for about week I have some backlog of subjects I want to cover, so I might do up to two or three posts a day if I get the chance.

Ronald Reagan Billboard Appears in Minnesota.

Ronald Reagan Billboard Appears in Minnesota.


Isn't it nice that there are more people in this country who are starting to see the past, and who the real leaders were. the Next billboards someone should do is of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams.

In fact, lets start coming up with some ideas for billboards for them, I'll start. This should be fun.

Alexander Hamilton: Remember when the Secretary of the Treasury had real Ideas and wasn't a Tax Cheat. Just too easy!

Thomas Paine: Remember when revolution meant Freedom from Tyranny.

Benjamin Franklin: Remember when Charity was from the Person not the Government.
also: Remember when invention was entrepreneurial and Not dictated by the Government.

Samuel Adams: Remember when Samuel Adams was more then just a brand of Beer.

George Washington: Remember when real Hope and Change was first in the Capital.

Patrick Henry: Remember what a real speech is, give me liberty or give me death!

Three Historical News Stories about Rome.

As a History buff and a fan of Roman history here are three news stories I wanted to share, Film-makers uncover lost source of Roman aqueduct, The Roman Army Knife: Or how the ingenuity of the Swiss was beaten by 1,800 years, and Cracking the codex: Long lost Roman legal document discovered, the latter is vary interesting and I think has some similarity to today's times.
