		<description>The key thing about Jack Kemp was that he was INCLUSIVE in his ideology! He knew that it took ALL kinds of people to make a team!! Because of his football background, he was open to experience the commonalities AND differences of people so that his position of quarterback/team leader was a greater influence towards achieving success!! Kemp was the one of a few Republicans that I, as an ethnic minority, would have found myself voting for if he&#039;d run as the PRESIDENTIAL candidate.

May the angels receive your spirit, Jack; you were a GOOD man!!</description>

		<description>I love how liberals like to make it seem as if &quot;nice&quot; people had beliefs that weren&#039;t aligned with those of the Republican Party. 

Also, call it &quot;old&quot; and &quot;undefined&quot;, but conservatism doesn&#039;t change. Conservative ideals are just that: Conservative. These ideals were never closer to perfection than when the Constitution of the United States was signed. Would you like to know why? Those men had a profound belief in God, and their principles were rooted in the Bible. What they created was VERY good, drew upon previous experience (freedom to worship GOD, whom they considered to be the god found in the King James Bible, in a person&#039;s own way was the very reason the men who shaped America up until it&#039;s independence came to America; they realized the failures of the European monarchies), and casted a wary eye towards the future (Why do you think they made it a point to write that a set of rights (religiously- inspired, might I add) was not to be infringed upon.

I don&#039;t understand how people continue to cite the &quot;failures&quot; of true conservatism. Where has it failed when put into action properly, and when it was TRUE conservatism? I won&#039;t spout off and say that the Republicans support TRUE conservatism. They don&#039;t. And do not make it seem as if we need to become less &quot;conservative&quot;. Do not bring up Reagan in the light of being too conservative. Reagan was VERY good. But guess what? He wasn&#039;t as conservative as he could have, and should have been. That&#039;s right, I want &quot;Ultra&quot;- conservatism. Don&#039;t &quot;Republicans&quot; realize being un- politically &quot;correct&quot; will put them back in the driver&#039;s seat? &quot;Oh, we shouldn&#039;t be as hard- hearted as Reagan, we should listen to the other side more, we should be tolerant of different beliefs&quot;. What?! That isn&#039;t conservatism and it won&#039;t work. Conservatism is a back- bone you either stick with, or you don&#039;t. It works best when fully intact. People want to hear that when they work hard, they will get just due. People want to hear that people who don&#039;t make efforts to better themselves won&#039;t be seeing the aforementioned people&#039;s tax money. I know I want to hear it. That&#039;s why I like people like Alan Keyes, Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and the like. 

I find it funny how this new- age (Last forty- fifty years, a &quot;healthy&quot; dose with FDR early in the twentieth century) &quot;tolerance&quot; psycho- babble encourages the acceptance of many things traditionally seen as wrong, yet bashes the people who continue to look at ideas through Biblical perspective. I think I will just stick with my &quot;frigid&quot;, &quot;out- dated&quot; Bible teachings. That way I will have the satisfaction, that at least I, will be a moral- driven person.  

Alright, I&#039;m done bitching, but don&#039;t give me any of that nonsense about Libertarians not having a philosophy. Just think a little bit. Did Hitler have a clear philosophy? Yes. Was it right? In my opinion, no. I am in no means implying that Libertarians are evil, I&#039;m just making the point that EVERYBODY and every belief has a philosophy. And don&#039;t say that Libertarians don&#039;t have a clear philosophy. They straight- up tell you what they have done, what they want to do, and what they plan to do if given power MUCH BETTER than either the &quot;Republican&quot; party or the Democrat Party.</description>

		<description>I just read the column by Mary Grabar and I feel bad about what I said about Goldwater.  I take it back.  Maybe he wasn&#039;t so bad after all.  I guess I&#039;m just catty.</description>

		<description>To Chris Broe:  WTF man?  I&#039;m new to this area (Atlanta) and just happened across the AJC site.  I am having trouble getting what you are saying, you&#039;re a bit incoherent.  What is the relationship between defining a conservative and being Thomas Paine?  Isn&#039;t it a bit arrogant to defy someone to do something in your presence?
Now, you can give me a straight answer, because I really didn&#039;t get your post and and am trying to get what you are saying, or you can blow me off and be flippant about it.
Of course, how you handle the criticism will say a lot about you, too.</description>

		<description>For all of you Fox News haters who claimed W only watched Fox. At least Fox has terrific ratings unlike President Teleprompters favorite news channel.

Obama official Kareem Dale confirms White House&#039;s love for MSNBC

For some inexplicable reason having to do with who knows what, a widespread impression has grown among many politics fans that MSNBC and its crowd of talkers -- including Chris &quot;Thrill Up My Leg&quot; Matthews, Norah &quot;The GOP Is Doomed to Die&quot; O&#039;Donnell and Ed &quot;It&#039;s Time to Grind Them Into the Ground&quot; Schultz -- are somewhat in favor of President Obama.

Well, actually in complete love with the Great Change Agent.

Now, thanks to the ubiquitous cameras of C-SPAN, comes official videoed word from Kareem Dale, special assistant to the president for arts and culture and a key White House advisor on disability policy.

At the 1:51 mark of this video, Dale candidly reveals the new administration&#039;s reciprocal feelings. Hint: Apparently the new White House has a popular internal saying involving the words &quot;love&quot; and &quot;MSNBC.&quot;

		<description>Kemp, unlike the vast majority of GOPers, refused to appeal to the racists, xenophobes, and fundies that form the GOP core constituency.  He was pro-Civil Rights, and pro-Affirmative Action.  He worked hard for housing and economic opportunity for the poor.

Unlike some people (like, say, one former US Representative that was a leader of the partisan and priggish impeachment of Clinton for having consensual sex, and also sponsored the homophobic Defense of Marriage Act), Kemp was totally true to improving America&#039;s economic opportunities.  

He made no appeals to the mean and the stupid, so very un-Republican.

Jack Kemp was a decent man, an optimist about people.  So rare in our country, doubly especially from the right...</description>

		<description>Mrs. Norris,do not waste your time with the likes of lazy lefties. Libs do not want a free society because they cannot compete on a level playing field. Have you ever seen a liberal campaign on the platform of self help or prsonal resposibility ? No, libs/dems campaign on what they can take from resposible people and gave to the leeches.</description>

		<description>Almost all of the members of Congress, the majority being Democrats, are loathe to indicate any position which could lead to an election defeat and the loss of the political power held. Most back track if an expressed opinion is viewed negatively and offer a lame excuse. We need to establish term limits and get rid of these people who have no real philoshiphy except to remain in power.</description>

		<description>Conservatism remains undefined, unrefined, and obsolete.   All the GOP needs is a face.  Mine&#039;s available.  I look like a president should.  Not one of you pudwits would dare try to define conservatism in my presence.  Go head.  Make me a Thomas Paine.
