The Benefits of Being Republican

Now that I've registered at the GOP Team Leader site, the one that astroturfs newspapers and politicians, I've discovered two serious benefits — three, if you count the points I'm earning towards Valuable Free Gifts by spamming my elected representatives.

First, I'm encouraged to send letters to newspapers and politicians. All I have to do is press a button, and the pre-written, pre-thought message will be fired off. Of course, you can edit the text. In fact, I just wrote a message to Senator Bayh that began as follows (with my additions in caps, of course):

IF YOU GET EMAIL THAT SOUNDS LIKE THIS ONE, it's coming from the GOP "Team Leader" site and is spam. Speaking for myself: PLEASE KEEP ESTRADA OFF THE BENCH. Thank you.

This reckless filibuster of Miguel Estrada has held up this country's business for too long. This Thursday, you will have the opportunity to vote to end the filibuster and allow Miguel Estrada a fair, up-or-down vote on the floor of the Senate.

Second, yesterday I received in the mail a lovely "signed" photograph of President Bush along with a request for a donation to the Republican Party. I'm getting to like being a Republican!

(Late note: Estrada has been defeated. Woohoo!)

"Treason" just might be one of the most important books ever published. Finally intellectual conservatives have gained enough credibility for the ultra liberal NYC publishing industry to publish a book which directly exposes and then attacks the treasonous liberal soul. Prayerfully there is much more to come. "Treason" deals mostly with how the liberal affinity with big gov't led liberals to spy for, or support those who spied for, the big gov't of the Soviet Union even as that gov't was killing 50 million or so of its own citizens. But there is so much more to come! There is no mention of domestic policy; of how, for example, liberal big gov't Welfare schemes directed primarily at Blacks amounted to little more than genocide as more young Blacks went to jail than to college, as illegitimacy rates rose to 70%, and as, almost, the complete destruction of the Black family was realized. Moreover, there is no mention of how the liberal cancer is killing millions even today. For example, liberal political correctness prevents us from going to Africa and speaking the truth, i.e., "you're savages, millions of your children are dying needlessly; here's what you need to do: adopt our Constitution, adopt capitalism, and invite our army or an army in to kill those who oppose these civilizing reforms." But, liberalism is the spirit of our times; it hates the Constitution, capitalism, and the army; so millions of innocent babies continue to die slow deaths in their mother's arms. "Treason" is a brilliant and revolutionary start. Let's pray there is much more to come. In the mean time there is "The War on The Poor" and "Understanding the Difference Between Democrats and Republicans"
