  Kudos to Cal

Cal Thomas today, has some things at least half right. Quoting Jeb Bush, past governor of Florida: "The republican party needs to stand for reform, within the context of the ideology of limited government." Yes, right on bro. But it is just too bad that the entire republican party completely forgot its own ideology during the past seven years. Why of course they lost numerical control of the house and senate. How and why? By trying to be non-partisan and cooperative with their sworn avowed enemies across the aisle; much like bending over and grabbing the ankles, saying thank you, and doing it over again! In Wash. D.C. mainstream media talk, the term moderate only refers to any republican who denounces their own party's platform, ideas, and/or ideals, and who then embraces the democrat programs. My idea of a moderate is democrats like Joe Liebermann or Zel Miller. The most poignant point with which I agree, is the head in the sand conservatism so blatantly destroying the democrat party. The Dem-Libs, for 30 years or more, have adamantly refused to embrace any form of change or reform. Just keep throwing more and more money down the rat-hole of failed and unworkable and unaccountable give=away programs. But, one must remember the real honest and true reason behind 99% of these Dem-Lib initiated programs. No, it is not to help the poor and needy and helpless; it is to provide access for greedy, money-grubbing political party hacks, to large amounts of federal and state revenues, creating hundreds of thousands of elite bureaucrats with fiduciary allegiance to the democrat party.

A well-put argument. However, must everything be so dyed-in-the-wool divided and contrary? I have always had a problem with folks on both sides of the political spectrum who see things in stark black and white images. In the world that I live in, there are lots of grays.
I agree with you one hundred percent when you state your opposition to huge, give-away programs that lower standard, drain the national coffers, and take-away the dignity and incentive of the very ones they are supposed to be helping.
However, I also know many hard-working, good souls who could sure use a hand.

Most of these massive money give-aways are administered through the federal (Washington DC) government, where only 16% of the money alloted and allocated coming into an agency or program is given out to the people who really need the financial assisstance - 84% is pay-off. At the state level, 58% goes to the people in need, and only 42% to gov. employees. remeber thew "school lunch program from a few years ago, the republican wanted to move this program from federal control(16%) to state control (58%) but then the fedral Dem-Libs would no longer have had any control over the distribution of these funds. In other words. the Dem-Lib electeds were the ones eventually "starving the children."
