“The Republican Party is comprised of many informal factions, which often overlap but do not necessarily agree. For example, there are Fiscal Conservatives, Evangelicals, Social Conservatives, Neoconservatives, Paleoconservatives, Libertarians, Moderates (sometimes derided as Republican In Name Only, or RINOs, by more conservative Republicans), and Log Cabin Republicans.The Republican Party is the more socially conservative and economically libertarian of the two major parties, and has closer ties to both Wall Street (large corporations) and Main Street (locally owned businesses) but has little support among labor unions. The party supports lower taxes, limited government on economic issues, and favors business; it supports government intervention in some social issues such as abortion.[1] In his 1981 inaugural address, Republican President Ronald Reagan summed up his belief in limited government when he said, "In the present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."[2] Since 1980, the GOP has contained what George Will calls "unresolved tensions between, two flavors of conservatism -- Western and Southern." The Western brand, says Will, "is largely libertarian, holding that pruning big government will allow civil society -- and virtues nourished by it and by the responsibilities of freedom -- to flourish." The Southern variety, however, reflects a religiosity based in evangelical and fundamentalist churches that is less concerned with economics and more with moralistic issues, such as opposition to abortion and homosexuality.[3] There is of course a strong Christian evangelical Republican movement in the Western United States; and in no way should these two movements—economic libertarianism and social conservatism—be considered mutually exclusive, since, especially within the Republican Party, they often overlap.”

Today, many of the most vocal supporters of the RIGHT wing of the GOP have associations or are talking talking points from the CofCC.   I am truly concerned that today’s RIGHT conservatives have been hoodwinked and led astray by organizations such as the Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC) and endorsing their ‘principles’.  The CofCC (as this ADL link shows)   evolved out of the old White Citizen’s Council.   There have been accusations of racism for years.  The SPLC has an excellent profile of Gordon Baum, the leader of the CofCC. 

Kirstin, mentioned above, is parroting the words of the SC chapter of the CofCC as they attempt to have Senator Lindsey Graham removed from office because he does not meet with their standards of ‘conservative purity.  Strangely enough, many of the RIGHT attacks of John McCain also parrot the language the CofCC uses.  Is the CofCC calling the shots and the truly RIGHT branch of the GOP is being sucked into their on special version of racism and hate?  I truly hope not, but there are signs this is indeed happening. 

“…The Council's state chapter president, Kyle Rogers, said the rally's purpose was to convince state congressmen to vote against guest-worker programs and amnesty. "We got to put pressure on the House Republicans," Rogers said. "President George W. Bush is pressuring them to accept amnesty. But the whole state of South Carolina will turn against you (senators). "The state is already furious at Lindsey Graham. His career is shot." Citizens speak out Protest participants lined the entranceway of the Channel 4 news station with flags and signs that read: "Lendsey (sic) Graham is a traitor," and "Stop the Invasion."Passing motorists honked their horns and shouted out "America!" as they drove past the rally. The location of the protest was ideal for Greenville city traffic visibility, and it also blocked the entrance to the news station. "WYFF said that we had dozens of people at the last protest," Rogers said. According to Rogers, there were at least a 1,000 people in attendance. So standing in front of the news station was "symbolic." "Most conservative events don't draw the numbers the left wing does because of the media," Rogers said. "But we're going to keep going despite of them." The small numbers didn't fetter the enthusiasm participants had for their cause…” 

 

This is also important for yet another reason.  Kyle Rogers was active in arranging the infamous appearance of Colorado’s Tom Tancredo at a CofCC and League of the South event in Columbia last summer.   Or as the Denver Post peged it, Tancredo Sings with Bigots. 

 

Baum's associates include former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr.

"A personal injury lawyer specializing in auto accidents and workmen's compensation claims in St. Louis, Baum formed the organization in 1985 based on the mailing lists of the segregationistWhite Citizens Councils for whom he had been the Midwest field organizer. It grew to include some 15,000 members, mostly in the deep South, and to have genuine political power — power that could be glimpsed when the group's links to Lott and then-U.S. Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.) were exposed...." 

There is a spider's web of dots to connect including the fact that the CofCC meets with Stormfront when they have national conferences.

 

Or try this piece about Stormfront and the CofCC.  I hope you are getting this.  Jeffrey Feldman has discovered the following:

"...Members of the IKA including an Imperial Officer attended the June 16-17 Council of Conservative Citizens conference in Louisville, Kentucky. There were many exemplary speakers at this event (Don Black, Paul Fromm, Sam Dickson, Col. Robt. Slimp, Dr. Ed Fields, James Edwards, Dr. Brent Nelson, Kevin Lamb, and others) and there was music to enjoy as well. Don't let the word "Conservative" or the formal attire give you the wrong idea – these gentlemen aren't your typical conservative buffoons. The speeches given were absolutely revolutionary and quite informative. The IKA made many important contacts networking at the conference which will prove beneficial to future endeavors. The conference was a fine experience and we would like to extend our thanks to the organizers and attendees of this event for their warm welcoming and hospitality.

WHITE UNITY!

–Imperial Godi, Imperial Klans of America..."

Have you ever smelled a rat?  Try misogonist Carey Rogers and his anti-feminist life’s work.  Evidently he doesn’t like women, unless they are silent, barefoot, and pregnant.  He especially doesn’t approve of them in conservative politics, and feels the presence of women such as myself have corrupted the Republican Party.  More power to him!   (Oh, FYI, he also believes more women commit violence against men that men commit violence against women.  Bet he also doesn’t believe men rape women, either.   Guess the little ladys  just askin’ for it.)  I just love the way RIGHT conservatives twist and misuse facts then say only liberals do it. 

 

“…Thankfully, some in the conservative ranks have bravely spoken out against the rad-fem jihad, including Phyllis Schlafly, Ann Coulter, Laura Schlessinger, Catherine Seipp, Kathryn Jean Lopez, and Myrna Blyth. But why are there only six, not 600 conservative women on the list? And what about conservative men? Are the conservative no-shows intimidated or merely complacent? Why haven’t the mainstream conservative organizations come out four-square against radical feminism?  To be sure, one reason is that the conservative movement has become beholden to the electoral imperatives of the Republican party, fearing that any criticism of feminism might stir a backlash on election day. This fear is misplaced, however, as only a quarter of American women call themselves feminist, and 22% of women say that being called a feminist would be an “insult.” Another reason is that many conservative men – especially politicians and newspaper editors—confuse ladies-first chivalry with becoming water-carriers for the latest feminist myth-de-jour. It’s time that these guys wise-up to the feminist bait-and-switch. These gals claim to be the complete equals to men. But voice any doubts about their ideology, and they lapse into a pathetic cocoon of hurt feelings. And then there are those ladies who claim to be straight-laced conservatives, but bristle with an anti-male hostility or spread poisonous gender myths….”

 

Why do I digress?  It is quite simple.  For months I’ve been trying to unearth the roots of this very nasty strain of RIGHT minded conservatives who think they own the Republican Party.  I keep finding some interesting little tidbits here and there.   You need to connect the dots.

 

Carey Roberts writes his wonderfully enlightened material for a number of good conservative RIGHT publications.  One of them is Aeonweb that is run by Move Off.com.MoveOff. Com is a part of the New Media Alliance. The New Media Alliance is owned by Heritage Media Partnerships. Heritage Media Partnerships is part of Reality Check. org.   There are a number of umbrella organizations all spewing the same bait and switch.  Gary Schneider   is the front name for the IRS reports. The New Media Alliance works in conjunction with Townhall.

 

Part of the New Media Alliance web includes the American Daily. One of the top contributors to the American Daily is Daneen G. Peterson, Ph.D. Peterson has, in my humble opinion, penned some of the most bigoted, hate filled, misrepresentations about the Hispanic people I've ever seen.  Then there is Timely Topics. Another publication is the UsaSentinel. I have no idea what RTPX is. North America Views is another part of the spider web.  Then there is Moveoff Us.  You should note that this site links to the Constitution Party.  I keep saying we're not dealing with actual Republicans here, but people who are conservative who pretend to be Republican.  Then there is the Conservative Press. MoveOffWs is also part of the problem.  Then there is News by Us.  Truth in Conviction   The View from 1776Conservative Crusader

 

Now we come to Republican Voices  by Emil Levitin, who is a member of GOP Bloggers.  And there is the New Media Journal that claims to be Republican. The PubliusForum is part of the group. And then we have Frosty Woodbridge, who defies description.  I would love to call him the Cindy Sheehan of the whacked out right. There is Time to Vote.  And they have the Capital Hill Coffeehouse. The most fun is the only Republican political figure you see any of these organizations linking to is Tancredo.  Great Minds Think Right  How about Mad as Hell.

 

The Roberts article that started all of this is from News With Views that is ultra conservative and terribly unGOP.
