Happy New Year!

2009 promises to be a year full of challenges for political conservatives in the United States, but together and with God’s help, we can meet those challenges.

We at Ft. Hard Knox wish you and yours a very Happy and prosperous New Year.

Real life is relentlessly Conservative. Fantasy is relentlessly Left Liberal and Radical.

Abraham Lincoln, the little known Conservative Republican and his explicitly correct summation of much of the MSM, academia, Hollywood, celebrity, the Democratic Party and the British and Australian Labour Party’s et al ad nauseum. “The greatest dangers to liberty,” wrote Justice Brandeis, “lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.”

My very dear readers, Colonel Neville wishes you ALL a very, very Merry Christmas season and a Happy New Year! Hey, let’s all download Mark Steyn’s Christmas song Marshmallow World! It’s a hoot.

Man, Mark Steyn is more fun and good value than sorting through an overstuffed Christmas stocking at 5:AM, wearing your new Batman pajamas, smoking a cigar and finding that the latest Atlantic Monthly you got, contains a very substantial article by P.J O’Rourke. [Atlantic link is Grove Atlantic.]

“Social justice, in the catechism of the socialist religion, is no more than an exertion of raw power to force people to conform to what liberal-progressives believe conditions ought to be.” Thomas E. Brewton.

Conservative values are empirical, proven, timeless, essential and for real human beings as they are and not for theoretical and entirely imaginary people. The values of Conservatism are precisely what have made us prosperous and free. Plus we bathe more regularly.

These are the values that even Left Liberals and Radical’s actually live by day by day, for if they didn’t, they would be financially bankrupt, which would match their current intellectual and moral bankruptcy.

“Buddy can you spare an expanded government aparatus?”

In fact the more morally and intellectually bankrupt a Left Liberal is, the more fabulously rich they usually are.

“The people will believe what the media tells them they believe”. George Orwell.

Their non-values and naturally the radical too, are invariably fantasy hobby’s supported by the pragmatism of factual Conservatism. Like a donkey with legs of pastry, Liberalism can’t support itself, thus the endless calls on more government, their favourite source of financial aid.

Lisa to Grandpa Simpson: “Didn’t you wonder why you were getting checks for not doing anything?”

Grandpa: “I thought it was because the Democrats were back in power”

“To ERR is human, to FORGIVE divine. HOWEVER, neither is Marine Corps Policy.”

Dig this. The utter hypocrisy and venal fraud of Hollywood and the Super Phony Al Gore, are ENTIRELY elevated, supported by, and made rich through CAPITALISM and the free market etc, both basic Conservative ideas. The dominance of Left Libby junk scams is made possible by their relentless manipulation, indoctrination and control freakery via the media, education and entertainment etc. THESE are actual Left Liberal er, “ideas” on the ground.

By default, the same Lib and Rad boobs have trouble possessing any true values at all, as everything they profess to er, believe in, is by definition “up for grabs”, and are always allegedly going to be a success in a future that never seems to arrive…Continue reading on Colonel Robert Neville Always Dresses for Dinner >>

Did Karl Rove Kill Conservativism?

Reading the words of Karl Rove in a recent Wall Street Journal article shows that the mindless blame game continues.

The man most credited with the GOP’s sucesses in the past decade really misses [or ignores] the relevant points. Missing in his article are the facts that McCain ran as a moderate after dismising the conservatives, how McCain was more concerned with running a clean campaign than showing America who the real B.H.O. is, how many conservatives voted for the real liberal while many others stayed home, and how a true conservative stomped the liberal in Georgia.

Too many running the Republican Party have dismissed Reagan conservatives. Many voters today realize that the current powers that are running the GOP have got to go. Karl Rove just proved that in spades.

 

THE SMOKESCREEN

When I was a younger man I found myself in many a fight.  Usually because of my smart mouth and unwillingness to bow down to anyone.  Well, I’ve learned to choose my words better 98% of the time and if you’ll forgive me, still can’t seem to bow down.  Stay with me.

I’ll never forget a fight behind the school bus line one summer day with a fellah bigger than me  who decided to have a little fun with this smart mouth Buffoon.  He kept taunting me to watch his left hand, "watch my left, watch my left", he said.  I was dumbfounded.  What in the world is he talking about, I thought?  Then BLAM!  He knocked piss, fire and vinegar out of me with his right.  Now I know why he wanted me to watch his left hand, because as soon as I became fixated on it, his right was going to take me out, and take me out it did.  Still with me?
