Cloture vote by Republicans no surprise
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | December 23rd at 08:47 AM |
The democrat party, the party of ‘Spend, spend, spend’ has a willing accomplice it seems in the current crop of Senate Republicans. The Politico is reporting a cloture vote, a vote to close debate and move the bill out for a full vote, passed by a 91 to 1 majority! (which can be found HERE). Modern Republicans will not get back to limited, smaller, responsible | Read More »
Chambliss breaking ranks again
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | November 25th at 09:50 AM |
I’ll make this quick and to the point. We should primary against Saxby Chambliss because when we really need him to stand up for conservative values he does not. He voted in favor of TARP (see here). I talked about his willingness to break ranks in 2010 to raise taxes then (see here). Now he is discarding his pledge to not raise taxes (see here). | Read More »
I can’t wait for the Spring Thaw to get rid of the Snow (Olympia)
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | March 2nd at 11:39 AM |
Congresswoman Snow you are not a Republican. Please stop calling yourself one and make the party switch official. In an article today on Yahoo! (found here) Senator Snow laments the Senate not working together to solve problems in this quote, “And so it becomes more divisive and I think ultimately has manifested itself in the Senate and an overall process that lends itself to dysfunction | Read More »
Just as a note before tonight, Gentlemen
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | February 22nd at 09:07 AM |
Someone who IS a conservative doesn’t have to convince us he is a conservative because he lives like a conservative, thinks like a conservative, and acts like a conservative. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? | Read More »

Not what you’ll do for me, but what you’ll do for my country?
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | February 21st at 08:48 AM |
I’m currently in the ‘Undecided’ category on the Republican primary. In the days to come here are some questions I’d like to see answers to from the respective candidates. Following those questions are some suggestions I have for each candidate. But, before I continue there is one thing I would like to see from ALL the candidates and that is their participation on this forum. | Read More »

On the Republican Primary and what is wrong with the Legislative Branch
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | January 19th at 09:24 AM |
I was asked by a friend on Facebook to post my views on two topics. The current republican presidential primary, and the problems with the legislative branch of the federal government. While these items should be treated as two separate topics I will, for the sake of the request try to cover both here. The Republican Presidential Primary I am currently, on the eve of | Read More »

Why the ‘Anybody-but-Mitt’ attitude is going to bring us….Mitt
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | January 12th at 08:58 AM |
I am firmly in the camp of ‘Anybody but Mitt’. However, my preferred candidate is not in the race so I am left squarely undecided. I am researching and listening to everyone in the field, yes everyone. I haven’t made up my mind yet, and won’t until the primary gets to Georgia. My concern is that we are all so apoplectic about NOT choosing Mitt | Read More »

We as a people own our leadership’s decisions too
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | March 12th at 11:14 AM |
I have a friend who blogs the scripture behind a Bible study he wrote on pride. Today’s entry, while short and found here makes those who are governed just as accountable for the failures of their leaders as the leaders are for their own failures. Given the current Republican leadership decisions that are appearing to once again head down the path of failure, I thought | Read More »
Conservatism will fail in the Republican party if…
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | December 26th at 11:39 AM |
We do not start publicly decrying those Republicans who are Republicans In November Only just to court the conservative base and then abandon us once elected. We do not stop accepting ‘the lesser of evils’. Some pain is going to be necessary to over come this death spiral of accepting moderates and those Really Interested in Nothing Overt when it comes to principals.
The GOP in the US Senate did a good job
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | December 12th at 12:37 PM |
last night when they stymied the union bailout bill cordially known as the Auto Bailout bill. As many well thought out front page diarists have already pointed out, Francis Cianfrocca most notably, we will do this over again in January when the Democrats control everything. With this defeat, perhaps the remaining GOP senators have learned their collective lesson from the demise of so many | Read More »
Conservative call to action
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | November 23rd at 10:21 AM |
Before John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate I didn’t know her. Even after we still only know what the MSM and the McCain handlers allowed us to see and hear. I think one of the flaws in McCain’s campaign was they didn’t allow Sarah to be herself. Part of that too was having to support the McCain platform and not | Read More »
Conservatives, it’s our turn
By: firstchevalier (Diary) | November 15th at 11:35 AM |
Americans, why did McCain/Palin loose this election? A lack of conservative principals showcased from the beginning. The Republican leadership allowed a moderate (McCain) to be selected as our candidate. McCain ran a weak campaign only selecting Palin in the end to energize the conservative base, and she did. I submit if someone with more ‘fire in the belly’ for conservative principals like Sarah Palin had | Read More »
