This phrase coined by Mike Huckabee campaign may well tell the story of the emerging battle for control of the GOP.
Politics as usual seems to be falling by the wayside as ole line leaders are being dropped from leadership positions nationwide. A new and vital leadership is emerging that holds to conservatism as a way of life and views compromise as a vile tactic.
Main article: Political positions of Mike Huckabee
Immigration: Huckabee's immigration plan for the presidential campaign is to build the fence, increase border patrol, prevent amnesty, enforce the law on employers, establish an economic border, empower local authorities, ensure document security, discourage dual citizenship, and modernize the process of legal immigration.[156]. He says the United States' number one priority should be to secure America's borders, and supports building a 700-mile border fence.[157] He said of the border, "Police it, absolutely. Militarize it, no."[158] Huckabee supports increases in visas for highly-skilled and highly-educated applicants.[159] Huckabee does not support an end to birthright citizenship.[160]
War: Huckabee supports the ongoing War in Iraq and the troop surge.[161]
Huckabee has expressed concern that Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a distraction from the Global War on Terror.[162] Previously, he stated, "[Guantanamo is] more symbolic than it is a substantive issue because people perceive of mistreatment when in fact there are extraordinary means being taken to make sure these detainees are being given really every consideration".[163]
Social issues: Huckabee opposes abortion, same-sex marriage, and civil unions. In an interview with GQ Magazine, Huckabee said, "There’s never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived."[164] In 1992, Huckabee indicated that he was against homosexuals serving in the military, and did not believe that women should be allowed in combat.[165] When asked about the issues of homosexuals in the military during his presidential run, Huckabee said he would not change the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which prohibits openly gay personnel from serving. "...you don’t punish people for their attitudes," he said. "You punish them if their behavior creates a problem, and it’s already covered by the Uniform Code of Military Conduct."[166] In 1992, Huckabee said that "homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk."[167] In 2007, his view that homosexuality is sinful and not normal has not changed.[168]
Huckabee supports increasing the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) from $15 billion to $30 billion over five years. He also supports more funding to fight tuberculosis and malaria.[169]
In a 1992 statement, Huckabee advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general population.[167] In 2007, Huckabee no longer advocates such an isolation, but he stands by his earlier view, saying that in 1992 "there was still a great deal of, I think, uncertainty about just how widespread AIDS was, how it could be transmitted. So we know more now than we did in 1992, all of us do -- hopefully."[168] However, by 1992 it was well known that HIV/AIDS could not be spread by casual contact.[170][167] In the same statement, Huckabee also opposed increasing federal funding for HIV/AIDS research and suggested that Hollywood celebrities should provide additional funds instead. Huckabee now supports additional funding for HIV/AIDS research.[167]
Gun control: Huckabee is against gun control.[171]
Death penalty: Huckabee supports the death penalty.[172]
Religion: Huckabee has voiced his support of creationism. He was quoted in July 2004 on Arkansans Ask, his regular show on the Arkansas Educational Television Network: "I think that students also should be given exposure to the theories not only of evolution but to the basis of those who believe in creationism." Huckabee also stated "I do not necessarily buy into the traditional Darwinian theory, personally."[173][174][175][176] In the Third GOP Debate in June 2007, Huckabee was asked by Tom Fahey whether he believed in evolution, and he responded, in part: "I believe there is a God who was active in the creation process. Now, how did He do it, and when did He do it, and how long did He take? I don’t honestly know, and I don’t think knowing that would make me a better or a worse president ... if anybody wants to believe that they are the descendants of a primate, they are certainly welcome to do it--I don't know how far they will march that back..."[177][178] Huckabee has credited divine intervention with some of his political success.[179]
Taxes: Huckabee supports the FairTax as a replacement for the current tax system.[180]
Space program: Huckabee supports NASA, and said in November 2007 that "Whether it's the medical technologies that saved many of our lives and the lives of our families, it's the direct result from the space program. We need to put more money into space and technology exploration."[181]
In 2007, in the wake of the controversy of his ad attacking Mitt Romney, he explained that the mainstream media might be "filing a bad story" right now, and if the bloggers were relying on the same wireless system at the hotel, they might be "clogging up the lines" and preventing them from filing. "If that’s the case, thank you. You're doing the Lord's work."[182]
This web site is certainly no fan of Obama but he ran circles around Hillary Rodham-Clinton the Senator from Arkansas-New York on the California debate.
Obama who tries to be identified with the oppression on black America has no roots that grow in that direction...if fact on his white mothers side he descended from Slave Owners.
Hillary's shallow egomania nature comes thru when her feet are on the fire.
The Hollywood immorality turned out in droves to take most of the seats at the debate...so much for the lie that the democratic party cares about the "little man or woman",

People of the dirt

When the Christians came to Oklahoma Jesus was already here
He was with all Adams race everywhere whether far or near
The Amerindians universally called Him the "Great Spirit"
His words of truth are found in all our tribes and very explicit
Love and truth and honor and family are woven thruout the land
faith and hope and charity, respect for the creator's firm hand
Adam means red man and Oklahoma means land of the red man
In Oklahoma we are blessed with direct word links to His plan
We are people of the dirt...tried by storm's wind and dust's sting
We endure the good and the bad and always know who is King
From the Arbuckles hilly ranges to the Panhandles desolation
We are red and white and black patriots...first to defend the nation
The proud Thunderbird our fighting symbol... the red bird, the Phoenix
We rise from our ashes and build anew after bombs blast
When F5 comes our way we dig in and battle it to the last
We are Okies whose grandparents waited out the wrath of dust
and fermented our grapes into fine wine of our common trust
Hospitality is our middle name and love is our girt
We are common folk ...people of the dirt
Sally Fields in her blubbering use of cuss words invoking God's name to make an anti-male statement cost her producers tons of lost viewers and money. Women warriors and heads of state in history have not strayed far from the norms followed by their male peers. Some have been bloodthirsty and some have been great leaders.
Sally Fields appeared to have been nestled up to the wine keg for several hours before making her manophobic statements. Amazing that so few males of the non pink shade are available in High Hollywood Places. If Sally and her ilk can indoctrinate the USA population that males should be ruled by the women among us it will make it easy for the Red Chinese and the very Male dominated Russians (by whatever name they are called now) to role us over in war. The Sally Fields ilk will be the first to make the trek to Siberia for the amusement of the cold lonely miners out there.
Dear Sally...National protection is absolutely necessary so you can strut around in a dress that cost more that the average Okie makes in a year. Methinks you do not deserve the protection of our red blooded warriors. But we continue to protect idiots like you and our free speech! Grow old ungracefully! Maybe some more plastic surgery is needed?
The Democrats have let themselves be sucked into playing the Good Fag-Bad Fag game and only label perverts that molest children under certain ages as Bad Fags while an eighteen year old wet behind the ears can be seduced by rich to middle class perverts who convinced him or her that they have tendencies that make them a part of the elite GLBT emerging force which includes gay, lesbian, bisexual and pedophiles ,etc who make up a good portion of the practice of the behaviorist doctors ( they cannot even agree among themselves with over 150 schools of thought) who legitimized them over the past few decades.
Remember Sodom and Gomorrah and the utter destruction of these two perverted cities that have been located for the most part. They were so totally demolished that little archaeological evidence remained and they are desolate to this day. The Creator of the Universe as revealed in the Holy Bible is firmly down on the side of normality...no matter what the pervert apologists postulate. Read both views for yourself to find who is lying out their teeth!~
As for the Democrat"s Good Fags one can surmise that they join and contribute to the correct liberal progressive causes to earn the title.
Men and women are born men and women and even those born with sexual organs of both identify with one sex or the other. Those individuals would be the ONLY ones deserving special treatment.
As the Truth of Judeo/Christianity teaches we are all born sinners with all the lusts in our hearts that all of Adam's offspring inherited. Christians are called "overcomers" for exercising the willpower and faith to turn aside from earthly lusts.
To recognize perversion as "normal" as the Democrats have done is to turn our back to those in need of the truth of morality!
The name of the game is to multiply and replenish the earth."
Try as you might...you cannot replenish thru same sex breeding.

Democratic pacifist anti Military cowards rant at Generals for following Commander in Chiefs orders and wishes.
In my 70 years I have never seen a group of electeds so out of touch with the reality of national protection. Not only are they out of touch they have no measure of patriotism or even common dignity! They are all DNC lemmings and they want to take us over the cliff with them. Mrs Clinton and Obama are in no way qualified or equipped to do the most important job of the Presidency....NATIONAL PROTECTION.
ANY VETERAN WHO SUPPORTS WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS DOING TU OUR NATIONS DEFENCE IS DISHONORING THE UNIFORM HE ONCE WORE.
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) today released the following statement regarding his amendments to the fiscal year 2007 foreign operations appropriations bills. Dr. Coburn offered four amendments to the foreign operations bill last night.
“The American people are very generous and we can honor their generosity by ensuring that their tax dollars are not being lost to waste, fraud or corruption. Every dollar that is squandered in these areas is a dollar can’t be used to potentially save a life or make a troubled region more secure,” Dr. Coburn said.
“I’m pleased that the Senate voted for greater openness and transparency at the United Nations. I’m also encouraged the Senate accepted my amendment that will help end the secrecy surrounding how U.S. taxpayers are spent as part of the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. I hope my colleagues will keep these important amendments in conference. Secretly removing these provisions would, in my opinion, violate the trust of the American people, particularly after these measures passed by overwhelming margins,” Dr. Coburn said.
Coburn amendment 2773 calling for greater transparency regarding the expenditure of U.S. contributions to the United Nations passed 92 to 1. Coburn amendment 2706 regarding U.S. contributions to the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria passed unanimously by a voice vote.
Two other Coburn amendments were defeated. Coburn amendment 2704 failed by a vote of 33 to 60. This amendment would have prohibited U.S. contributions to the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) from being used for malaria prevention or control, programs that are failing, scientifically flawed and unaccountable
Coburn amendment 2716 failed by a vote of 46 to 47. This amendment would have directed funding toward programs in the Child Survival and Health account, which has been proven to save lives among the most vulnerable populations, including President Bush’s successful malaria initiative. These additional funds would have been moved away from lower priority programs such as the Global Environment Facility, which, in addition to not demonstrating any results and has proven susceptible to corruption and mismanagement, is also run by the U.N. Development Program, an entity recently implicated in illegal cash transfers to the North Korean regime.

The UN would be more effective if its funding was drastically reduced (say about 99%)and it was limited in action similar to The Organization of American States. That would stop the money drain from the USA which it always opposes. Move them out of our country to Cuba and let the spy delegations enjoy the island life.
The Feds at Treasury whose souls are owned by mega banks (maybe some wet behind the ears MBA thinks his masters can save money...who knows!)are trying again to get rid of our beloved dollar bill by stamping some yellow cheap looking dollar coins. They put "In God we trust" on the rim almost unreadable and it will wear off and disapear on future coins...bet me! Wal Mart shelled me out four of them this afternoon.
I am refusing them next time.
I wonder if Treasury hired a Mexican expert because the coin looks like the junky coins you see south of the un-protected border.
Here is the story of the issue from the Mint
In December 2005, Congress approved the creation of a new dollar coinage, known as Presidential dollars, and President George W. Bush signed the legislation into law shortly afterward. According to the U.S. Mint, 1/3 of the annual dollar coin production will continue to be the Sacagawea golden dollar, the remaining 2/3 of dollar coin production will be the Presidential dollar coins. During each year from 2007 to 2016, four different dollar designs, each bearing the image of a different president, are being released. Living presidents, both current and former, are excluded from the program—thus the roster of presidential honorees currently stands at 37. For these presidents, 38 coins are planned; this is because Grover Cleveland, who to date is the only president to serve multiple nonconsecutive terms, will be represented with two coins. The Presidential dollars are part of the Golden Dollar Program and retain the same golden color as the Sacagawea dollars. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears in edge lettering—a first for a U.S. coin, as the motto has never before appeared on the rim. The year of issue is likewise on the rim.
Is there some type of acadamy in our coutry where bureaucrats go to learn Advanced Stupid Thinking?

September 3rd, 2007
In a matter of days the Bush administration is going to illegally open our highways to unsafe Mexican trucks.
And though the Department of Transportation says it will inspect every truck, the fact of the matter is it can’t. Sure, they are starting the so-called pilot program with 151 cherry-picked trucks and even the DOT can manage to conduct that few inspections. But in a year when the Bush administration calls the so-called pilot program a “success” and opens the border to all Mexican trucks, how are they going to protect our highways then?
The DOT says Mexican trucking companies will respect our laws. Yet, neither the Mexican federal government nor state police agencies have a reliable method to track violators or to even determine who has a legitimate drivers license, much less a commercial driver’s license.
In fact, more than one in five Mexican drivers stopped within the current border safety zones did not have valid driver’s licenses. Do we want these unlicensed drivers marshalling the largest vehicles — most of which don’t meet U.S. safety or environmental standards on the road into the heart of our busiest cities or down our highways?
U.S. truck drivers are legally required to keep strict hours of service logs to prevent working to dangerous levels of exhaustion behind the wheel. They must regularly submit to health and drug tests to ensure they are fit to operate multi-ton tractor trailers.
There are no hours-of-service rules for Mexican drivers and, according to the DOT Inspector General, not one adequate drug testing facility in Mexico.
The Bush administration wanted to open the border while you were on recess — during Labor Day weekend no less. They figured you weren’t going to be paying attention. Together with the Sierra Club and Public Citizen, the Teamsters sued to stop the DOT from moving forward. While our emergency stay was denied, our lawsuit will continue to move forward and we were able to smoke out the administration’s plan, and force the DOT to delay opening the border for a few more days.
Now it is up to Congress. Are you going to stand idly by while the Bush administration once again ignores the will of Congress? Or will you stand up and tell the President that enough is enough?
To quote Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-Kansas):
“Congress has been crystal clear in our opposition to the administration’s cross-border pilot program. Twice now, we’ve passed bills that restrict commercial traffic from Mexico until the Department of Transportation meets high standards of safety and accountability.
“Those standards have not been met, but the executive branch is moving full speed ahead anyway. Their plan breaks the law and undermines the safety of our highways, and I hope they’ll be held accountable in a court of law.
“This is not a partisan issue. My Safe American Roads Act passed the House by an overwhelming, bipartisan, 411-3 margin. Democrats and Republicans are united in protecting America’s highways. Only the White House seems out of the loop.”
Said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio): “Whether it’s product safety, food safety, or road safety, you can count on the Bush Administration to compromise it … Congress asked the administration to use caution. Now the administration is running a red light.”

This past Tuesday there was a briefIf you are not confortable having Red China involved with building our military satilites then call or write your congressperson. You can find links at http://okgop.com
article in the Oklahoman about a competition between Lockeed-Martin
and Boeing to replace our old GPS satellites and deploy new generation
III satellites. The new satellites are intended to be more accurate
and more difficult for our enemies to disrupt. I ask this question?
Should Lockeed Martin get such a contract if they are entering into a
51/49 percent contract with the government of Communist China, a
country who has declared us their number ONE enemy? Especially if they
are working on a GPS tracking system together. How is that going to
make it more difficult for our enemies to disrupt if one of our
enemies has access to the nuts and bolts of our system?
I sometimes wonder if there are any in President Bush's administration
who care more about the sovereignty and national identity of the U.S.
over their globalist dream for a North American Union and Global
State?
A young state lawmaker who aspires to greatness has decided to take on one the most respected Senators in recent decades. Sometimes our ego is our worst enemy. The young liberal lawmaker should stay in his present elected position and let maturity catch up to his youthful exuberance. What does he believe? Does he have a solid moral groud articulated outside the Democrat party parameters and his ultra liberal theology education?
Does Rice believe in abortion on demand, perversion as an acceptable even admirable life choice, soft borders, pacifist foreign relations, no control on the porn on ABC, CBS and NBC, etc. , destruction of free speech and religion on the electronic media thru the "unfairness doctrine" as his national and state party does?
He will be hard put to distance himself from his Party excesses and talk out of the "right side" of his mouth to the good family values Oklahoma voters of both parties. His only alternative to dream up fault with one of the few Statesmen in the US Senate. Mr. Rice may be morally sophomoricly unprepared for his confusing campaign ahead even tho his Eastern liberal and ACLU handlers are cheering.
Bush is giving some of your tax dollars to this man who financed Muslim terrorism!
The main force behind the Muslim assault on world peace is beyond a doubt the Saudi Government and the royal family.
The 9-11 Twin Towers destruction was carried out by Saudi passport carrying Muslims trained in schools financed and designed by the Saudi government.
It is absurd to think that giving arms to Saudi Arabia would help curtail Iran. What would curtail Iran is for Israel to pinpoint bomb the 600 missals Iran has aimed at them.
Bush and other one worlder globalists have been seduced by a system where no one has freedom. In Saudi Arabia the women are treated as property, the non royal people are serfs, even the royals must live in constant fear of their seniors, and the King must surround himself with body guards.
God bless America and protect us from the likes of Bush and his fellow compassionate Democrats in both parties..
The generations come and go from a Martin great great great grandfather who was born in Georgia and lived in Texas to his Martin descendant who lives in central Oklahoma the DNA marches on to the future.

As shure as the Son does shine in that day we will have the tears wiped from our eyes by our Creator and so shall we be forever...joy after joy as the ages undfold.
