Kristian,
You would probably serve yourself better to read a bit more on J.S. Mills because if you did then you would come to the conclusion that Mills would be thoroughly disgusted by the so-called liberals that make up the Democratic Party and would hold them in the same low esteem as he would hold the conservative.
Donald V. King
1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
3. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
4. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
5. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.
6. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
7. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
9. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.
10. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
This list is often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, but that is in error. This list full of what ought to be common sense ideas was the brainchild of conservative speaker and Presbyterian minister, William J. H. Boetcker (1873 � 1962). Hailing from Hamburg, Germany, Rev. Boetcker became a much sought after public and motivational speaker. Not unlike our present day motivational speakers, such as Anthony Robbins.
I would love to sit down and go over this list with our President. Mr. Obama would no doubt drone on and on like he does at his PR events......oops, I mean press conferences. But it would be interesting to hear what he thought of this list as we went down it line by line. (You know, like he promised. "....that I will go line by line to make sure we are not spending money unwisely.") Yeah.....that coming from someone who had nearly ONE BILLION in earmarks as a Senator from Illinois. It is a shame that Illinois has sent to Washington yet another politician that does not live up to his promises. I mean he said that lobbyists are bad and on the campaign trail he chided his opponent, Senator McCain on having lobbyists in his employee. Remarking that when he got to Washington, lobbyists would have no place in an Obama administration, it looks as if our President has forgotten that promise as well. In fairness, Mr. Obama did sign an executive order banning all lobbyists from working on all matters they had lobbied on during the past two years. However, he also put in a waiver that he could invoke at his whim. So it would seem that it is another case of a liberal saying, "do what I say, not what I do."
I think that I have one more "cannot" to add to Rev. Boetcker's list: You cannot be considered honest, when you go back on every promise you made in order to get elected.

LINCOLNS WAR & OBAMAS
THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
In 1860 life was good
Till its simpleness ceased one day.
The North wished to save the Union
While the South chose to break away.
America was torn apart
As six hundred thousand died.
Throughout four years of total war
Women without husbands cried.
The sad fact of the Civil War
Is what was left at its end.
Too many times, men's evil acts
Destroyed both foe and friend.
The problem was, once it began
There was no peace or compromise.
Total victory must be proclaimed
Before rage would leave men's eyes.
Destroy all that helps the enemy
Was the cry of either side.
Anything to obtain victory
As death on horseback did ride.
Black men dressed in old uniforms
Became the Union's reserve.
They fought and died for their freedom
And their rights they earned and deserve.
Lifestyles would forever change
For all who survived the war.
It had ended as it began
With sadness, misery and more.
Both sides prayed to the same God
And spoke words from the Bible.
The prayers of both were not answered
For all involved were liable.
BLACK POWDER BRIDGE
A courier rider hands his papers to me
They are instructions from Robert E. Lee.
I am advised now is the time
To stop the troop movement on the Rock Island line.
I muster my men and they load up the boats
We powder our pistols and darken our coats.
Traveling the currents, the sun slips from sight
As brave men with a purpose have gathered to fight.
We capture a bridge before the moonrise
The Yankees who are here shall soon feed the flies.
The evil of war feeds on my brain
As I light the fuse to destroy a train.
Above us a trestle of timber and tar
As we pull our oars for a willowed sandbar.
From the banks of the river; we watch it approach
There's shadows of soldiers, in the windows of a coach.
With a burst of bright yellow and a roar in my ear
I hear them scream as they 're falling in fear.
The river is boiling in steam, steel and stems
Back home their families shall soon sing funeral hymns.
The one lone survivor was a red stallion stud
I lassoed his neck, and freed him from the mud.
As I ride in his saddle beneath the stars that shine
I pray for forgiveness and some peace of mind.
War is a lesson we re eager to learn
When man has that fever to murder and burn.
Lord, please forgive me for what I have done
For all those I've silenced were some mother's son.
THE FEVER OF FEAR
Cannons are bursting hot metal from the ground.
Soldiers are looting and burning our town.
The fever of fear rushes through my veins
As too many Bluecoats jump from troop trains.
Smoke from hot barrels is swirling around
As four thousand muskets volley their sound.
All of my comrades have stopped a lead ball
Most cry out, then stumble and fall.
Even the young lad who carried our flag
Now he lies dead as he clings to that rag.
Wagons with the wounded trail blood on the ground
Death and destruction are easily found.
The Generals are crying 'cause they can't stand defeat
But it's always the soldier who dies on his feet.
Horse hooves are pounding on a bridge made of boards
As the sunlight reflects from the blades of their swords.
Quickly I hide out in the roots of a tree
Where the dirt has eroded and there's just room for me.
After dark I sneak out with the cover of fog
Then float down the river, as I cling to a log.
Songs of their victory, ring out through the night
While from the cold, muddy water, I see their firelight.
It makes me remember my old country church
Where the preacher spoke God's word from his holy perch.
That the seed of all conflict began in a cave
When man, like the wild wolf had to prove he was brave.
THUNDER IN THE GROUND
Cannons are bellowing from a ridge far away
The battle lines are forming and there's little time to pray.
Musket balls are pelting like hailstones from the sky
I'm so full of fear cause I don 't want to die.
From beyond yonder hill comes a terrifying sound
It's the music of the buglers and there's thunder in the ground.
The fast-riding troopers have all drawn out their swords.
They 're shouting and screaming as they charge up the gorge.
It's hard to believe how many make it through
As they're hacking and shooting at the boys dressed in blue.
Then come the soldier men who run upon their feet
Every time I drop one, my heart skips a beat.
There's a storm on the ground made of death, dust and smoke
My throat is so dry, I can 't help but choke.
The fury of the battle is bound to settle down
When most of the fighters lie dead on the ground.
After dark, the stretcher-bearers are afraid to search around
The wild hogs eat the wounded and I can 't stand the sound.
Come dawn, we dig ditches for all the brave, lifeless men
Then quote words from our Bible praying heaven lets them in.
SLAVERY
When you chain the neck of a slave
The other end fastens to you.
Your heart and soul become corrupt
And all which is evil you'll do.
No government shall exist for long
Who's people are not really free.
Though around the world there are those
Who stay blind to how life should be.
Any who must enslave others
Will dwell in their own living hell
After death, they'll join their master
In that place from heaven he fell.
But till then we'll fight and resist
Making them put their chains away.
And those of us who may die first
From heaven shall watch and pray
BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER
In the course of becoming officers
The young men of West Point bonded like brothers.
Till roomers of Civil War transformed friend to foe
As many cadets chose to serve others.
Fifty-five of sixty major battles fought
Were lead by graduates of the long gray line.
Yankees and Rebels ravaged one another
For to kill and plunder were virtues of the time.
Over six hundred thousand soldiers were consumed
Not counting multitudes of population.
Cities, farms and the countryside were laid to waste
Before our Union was restored to a nation.
THE LITTLEST SOLDIER
Nine year old Johnny Clem who stood just four feet tall
Ran away from Ohio to answer his country's call.
He joined up with the Union and became a drummer boy
Soon to prove the gun he wore was far more than a toy.
Armed with a sawed-off musket, cut down to just fit him
He shot a Rebel horseman who tried to do him in.
Awarded his sergeant's stripes and the silver medal
His comrades offered him hot coffee from their kettle.
The newspapers of the North, gladly published his story
Telling of the nine year old who earned his country's glory.
THE BATTLE
The moon is sky high
And perfectly round
As it highlights the beauty
Of disputed ground.
Life is a journey
Where the passage is free.
After, there's judgment
By the living and Thee.
Tomorrow's carnage
We'll survive if we can.
Death and dismemberment
By the hand of man.
Some will stumble
With absence of breath.
While others charge
Into the face of death.
We'll race toward the battle
And pray for the best
Hoping somehow
We pass God's test.
BUGLES
Their red and blue, ragtag flag stood out
Against their dust covered uniforms of gray.
Savagely we fought to kill our enemy
As the battle raged on in the heat of the day
Volley after volley we put forth our blaze
With thousands of led balls snapping flesh and bone.
Blistering sweat rolled down every face
As the tunes of war by bugles were blown.
There was a clanking sound of ramrods in barrels
As each new minieball was loaded and fired.
Some shot aimlessly into the smoke
While others took aim at the worn and tired.
Bullets were popping like the fourth of July
Yet our enemy kept surging ahead.
All at once they broke and ran off in groups
Scattering as for the forest they fled.
From behind the protection of a stacked-stone wall
The victorious cheered or just sat starring
At all the bodies of friend and foe
While for the wounded the surgeons were caring.
Soon the war was over and I survived
Despite it's brutality on trampled ground.
From boy to man I was transformed
Though, still in the night I hear its sound.
OBAMA�¢ï¿½ï¿½S WAR
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF WORLD WAR III
Our sons and daughters serve in harms way
To defend our way of life.
Some are students, some grandparents
Many a husband or wife.
They face great odds without complaint
Gambling life and limb for little pay.
So far away from all they love
Fight our soldiers for whom we pray.
The plotters and planners of America's doom
Pledge to murder and maim all they can.
From early childhood they are taught
To kill is to become a man.
They exploit their young as weapons of choice
Teaching in heaven, virgins will await.
Destroying lives along with their own
To learn of their falsehoods too late.
The fearful cry we must submit
And find a way to soothe them.
Where defenders worry if we stand down
The future for America is grim.
Now's not the time to fight one another
Or kiss our enemy's cheek.
All through history it remains the same
The strong enslave the weak.
May God continue to bless America
Refusing evil, the upper hand.
It's up to us to stay resolute
Defending the liberty of Man.
FREEDOM
In their new uniforms
The young march off
Not knowing who shall return.
With a proud devotion
They brandish their flag
Leaving loved ones to wonder and yearn.
May we all be buried
By all of our children
Is an ancient tribal prayer.
They're so easy to lose
But so hard to forget
Such a burden for a parent to bear.
Oh, the taste of victory
Shall soon be forgotten
But, never that which was lost.
For those rows of white headstones
In peaceful green fields
Make it easy to tally the cost.
America has survived all attempts to destroy
Knowing the cruelty of war
And, we who remain
Must help keep her free
For those who can march no more!

Kristian,

As someone who sees the terms conservative and liberal as ridiculous I probably don't belong here. I would just like to say that those who see themselves as conservatives or liberals should question their sources strongly. We live in country that thrives off of disinformation and an apathetic public. Who we choose to honor with our trust is extremely important, and our actions, that will define us, are affected by these rhetoricians. We must be vigilant, so I ask you to prove John Stuart Mill wrong.
J.S.Mill " Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative. "

Hey, If I had been running for President I would have plagiarized the hell out of Ronald Reagan's 1964 Republican National Convention Speech. And I would have told everyone I was doing it.
Get that up on your site. Youtube has it available.

I find it heartening in these difficult times that people are energized on the issues and are willing to voice their opinions in opposition to one another. It's this environment of healthy debate that leads to positive change in America, and as long as people educate themselves and come to their conclusions with a base of knowledge behind them, I'm all for it. Of course, it's all smoke and horse manure if you don't vote, so there's that too. The only people that upset me right now are the ones who have these opinions and then choose to abstain from voting. If anything is un-American in this day and age, it's that. Check this out and remember to do your part:

Borack H. Obama hates the truth about his past. But the truth is the truth. Sometimes it's not pretty. He calls it lies and smears. But lies, they are not. They are the truth. He believes in abortion of babies--True. Has not paid Hillery her campaign debt if she Supported him--true. Broke promise to spend only as much as McCain in the campaign--true. Listen to Rev. Wright " God damn America" for 20 years--true.Was more than 8 years old when he joined the socialist party in 1995--true.He voted every time the Democratic Socialists of America Party line in the state senate--true. They supported him because he was a member of said party--true. There is a lot more about Obama. But this is enough for starters.
Marc Rummenie
Birth Certificate?!? Come on. Look, there's plenty to disagree with Obama about, and there are legitimate reasons not to like or vote for him, but he is a US Senator, which means he's gotten past NSA, FBI, even CIA (since he lived abroad) scrutiny.

Dear Fellow Conservatives, Are you mad as hell as I am with the antics of party opposite? Are you mad as hell with what the Republican party gave us to go into the trenches of an election that could change this Beautiful Country into a Socialist Nation? Are you mad as hell at the liberal media and their Coronation of Obama? Then get mad as hell and act! Watch CNN, MS NBC, CBS,ABC and NBC, see who their biggest Company Sponsors are, write to them and let them know you will no longer purchase their product. When these News (sic) Organization feel the punch to their gut on loss of revenue coupled with the astronomical loss of viewership they already have truth may come out or else they will go into bankruptcy. I am mad as hell and have already acted, do we surrender or fight! I choose to fight for my family and grandkids, please fight for your children's and grandchildren future, not the deep dark depravity of Socialism. Don't wait, do it now. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL THAT STAND TO PROTECT HER. A Country is lost when good people do nothing to protect her.

We need to turn this campaign around. It is in a downward spiral. The messages are incoherent. Not only is Senator McCain and his campaign delivering different messages on different days, but the ads say one thing and the person (Senator McCain) says another.
Is Senator Obama dangerous or not? We ran an ad saying that he is a dangerous man - which we all agree - yet he went on and say that people should not be “scared” of Obama as president. What?
Let's stay on message. We can disagree with the person in te audience for calling Obama “Arab” but that does not mean he is not dangerous or that we should not be scared. We darn right should be scared because this election is about not just experience and steady leadership (no one cares about experience at this point — otherwise, Oboama would not be where he is and Gov. Palin would not be on the ticket) but about where this country will be heading and the basic principle and philosophy of McCain vs. Obama.
Do we want a radical leftist, a socialist, a Marxist, running this country at this moment in time, or any moment at all? Do we want someone with shady past and associations running the country at this moment in time? Do we want radical leftists (Obama, Pelosi, Reid) controlling both the White House as well as the Congress?
Wake up. The only way for us to change the game is for us to define the playing field and stay on message. We will not win if we play Obama’s game -— economy. We are at a disadvantage. When the economy goes bad, the party in the White House gets the blame no matter what really triggered it (Fannie and Freddie -— brain child of the Democrats).
So let Obama talk about the economy. We just need to reassure people that we will fix it and steps are already being taken to help stabilize it. Stay calm and our productive and innovative work force will turn this economy around. We always have.
Stay on message about differentiating our philosophy — smaller government, personal responsibility, strong military, national security, conservative judges — versus a radical leftist, a community organizer (ACORN), who wants government to take over every aspects of our lives, who together with the liberal media will censor free and open debates/ideas, who will appoint radical liberal judges that will legislate from the benches.
This is how we change the game and hammer home why this campaign exists and why we must not allow Obama in the White House. We need to run ads to spread our messages and we need to amplify our messages on the stump and in meetings, and in debates. And our messages must be consistent and coherent.
We cannot pander and step back because we are afraid of the liberal media. Doing so is cowardly. Doing so is stupidity because we essentially fight with our hands behind our back.
As long as we stay with the facts and be angry for the right reasons that this radical liberal has gotten a pass from the liberal media (painting him as a main stream American — HE IS NOT) why must we be afraid of speaking, of screaming, of yelling until our messages are heard in every town, city, and state in this great country? Yes, a great country that Obama and his lots hate.
Tell the stories, speak the facts, hit home our messages of why we are better for America, of why people should be fearful and scared of the prospect of Obama in the White House and Pelosi and Reid in Congress together.
This is not fear mongering. This is about the future, the safety, the security, and the prosperity of this country we are figthing for and defending.
Let's change the game. Let's focus people's attentions on what is really at stake in this election and not let the economic issue clouds everyone’s judgment.
We must stay on our message. One, Obama is a dangerous radical leftist who wants government intrusion in every aspects of our lives. Two, Obama is a radical leftist who will appoint radical liberal judges to legislate from the benches. Three, Obama is a radical leftist who has shady past and associations (Ayers, Rezko, and radical community groups like ACORN). Four, Obama is a radical leftist who have pushed for the policies that allowed the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie which is the root of our economic problem today.
Stay on message.

For those of you with the sarcastic activist gene I just tossed a brick at Hillary in support of term limits (hers to no term at all) from BrickToss.com.

Good blog that I read (and sometimes contribute to) regularly...

"You've Read the News... Now Get the Conservative Side of the Story"
I particularly enjoy this blog, for its news-page style. Also, because it reminds me of the old Fargo Argus, a "Staunch Republican Newspaper" of the 1880s.
So far, I've read opinionated, and accurate, posts about: a candidate who is struggling with a world which contains video cameras and an insufficiently regulated new media; war, peace, and appeasement, from a former president; a shocking admission from one of those 'we're all gonna die' experts.
WARNING! If you believe that the moral and intellectual center of the universe is in Berkeley, and that one simply must go to Paris to study art (or "aht," as it was pronounced in the day), READING "CONSERVATIVE POST" MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!
For everyone else, this blog might be a refreshing change of pace.
I could nitpick about research and sourcing - but "Conservative Post" is what it presents itself as: "the conservative side of the story." And, the facts I found were accurate.
Jason
Great site! I've linked to it on mine.
Rod Williams
Very good site, good analysis, lot of current issue content. well written. I am linking you to my blog.

Excellent. The pic of Hillary cracked me up.
I just started blogging yesterday. I hope to get mine half as good as yours someday.
DB Reese
Are you kidding me? Forget about it, this is the voice of the future. If you are tired of the same non passionate rhetoric then you need this site. I read it regularly to help "wash off" the LIberal's political corrctness. Great site, great writing.
DB Reese
Jason Kufs
Excellent. Just excellent! Read my Barack blog when you get a chance! Libs comments were ridiculous.
Tom Staley
I have to laugh when listening to candidates making promises to us. I have to laugh at the people who blame Bush for everything.
Do you remember when Bush was pushing the social security change. No people would think, Bush is President, so why doesn't
he just tell the houses to pass it.
Doesn't work that way folks. In order to pass a law, it has to pass the congress and senate. So all these promises the candidates
are making are nothing less than bogus.
It has been said that we have a do nothing house, well they are right. Like a bunch of kindergardeners they have opposed everything
that comes from the white house. Unless it benifts them. They do not care about the people, just how they can get what they want.
Now is the time to start looking around your district, find a candidate that believes in the Constitution, the rights of people and who
want to take our country back. They are the ones who will slap the President on the hand and tell him/her to get back on line.
We are not so slowly losing our country. Lets get rid of the dinasours in the congress and senate, get right thinking people in there.
Doesn't matter if they are democrat or republican, there are good folks in both parties, lets find them and vote them in.
It is the house that will take our country back, not the President.
We need Patriots.

Wow. Thanks for the excellence!
Chris
Nice looking site.
I enjoyed your thread about dangerous liberal cities! That sure got them riled up!
Of course in another thread libdrone, the "vitriolic" comments hound, called Colin Powell--and I quote--an "Uncle Tom Niggah" and then later referred to--and I quote--his "black ass". Apparently libdrone is upset about Clinton's stance on homosexuals. The thread was http://www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/would-you-vote-for-hillary-clinton
Anyway--keep up the good work.
