You think you know

You walk into a coffee shop in the Mission and see the young bohemian student sipping a latte. You see the young bohemian student proudly wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt, celebrating the communist revolutionary. You then see the young bohemian's laptop littered with propaganda stickers brightly displayed for the rest of the world to see. "No War!", "Blood for Oil", "Bush Lied." These sights are probably more common in San Francisco than the Golden Gate Bridge and cable cars.

And at that point you realize how uninformed the majority of our society really is. Oh, don't get me wrong, you can include me in this category as well. And since we're talking about misinformed, go ahead and add the AP, FOX News, CNN and the rest of the MSM of your choice.

As my wife said so profoundly the other day, most people don't have a clue. Every day we read stories in the paper, watch the news, and sometimes read a blog or two. We just assume what we are reading is fact and move on. But most of us don't dig for truth. Heck, finding truth is about as hard as finding a Republican in the Mission.

But there are ways. Thankfully conservative bloggers like Michelle Malkin and Flopping Aces as well as milbloggers like the Mudville Gazette are doing the dirty work and finding it.

Michelle and Curt have done a real nice job in detailing how our MSM has been duped in their on-going negative coverage in Iraq. This in turn takes us all down that misinformed path to calling our President a liar and not having a clue about the reality of our fight in Iraq.

How many more of these "sources" are frauds? I would be willing to bet most of them are. The AP and the MSM will buy into anything as long as it produces a feeling of chaos and destruction.

Is it a tough war? Of course! What war isn't? Are people dying? Yes. But is everything you read about chaos in Iraq truth? Or is it just someone's sublime way of trying to prove themselves right in their own political ideology.

I highly recommend you turn your sites to some of these bloggers (including mine of course). We will not win this War on Terror if all we wish to do is win elections and paint our political opposites as evil. Only truth will prevail!

Congressman calls for cutting off Iraq War funds

Democratic leaders are making obscenely stupid remarks on a daily basis. This is nothing new. But when those remarks start to hurt others, we should take notice. That is the case today as Congressman Dennis Kucinich called for cutting off funding of the Iraq War.

"I want to say that there's one solution here, and it's not to engage in a debate with the President, but it's for Congress to assume the full power that it has under the Constitution to cut off funds."

First we have John Kerry voting in favor of the war before voting against it. (I think he voted for and against it a few more times, but even he's lost count.) Then we have Nancy Pelosi voting against any and all defense measures since 9/11. And then we have trusty John Murtha calling for a quick and speedy surrender and retreat in the War on Terror. And now Mr. Pee Wee himself wants to put our troops in danger by cutting off funding for them to get the job done. Lovely! But don't ever call them anti-military.

"We have to take a whole new approach. We’re spending over $400 billion a year, money that's also needed for healthcare, for education, for job creation, for seniors. We have to take a new look at this. We need to be a strong country, but strength isn't only military."

Ah, that's it. As long as we spend, spend, spend in Washington for socialized programs, we'll never get attacked again!

We need to shift our direction, and the direction has to be away from the continued militarization of the United States society."

I've always thought this guy was a little nutty after he went on FoxNews blaming Bush for Hezbollah's acts of terror. But now the writing is on the wall. Ohio officially has a terror defending Congressman who is now calling to stop funding to our troops in the global War on Terror.

Of course, Kucinich would be the first person calling for help from the military if his beloved city of Cleveland was attacked. Maybe San Francisco will send some of their supervisors to defend the shores of Lake Erie.

Location: Washington, DC

Welcome to the official site of the Real Republican. This is the spot where you can get all the juicy details on the major issues of our day and learn the true Republican perspective. Seriously take a read, because much of what you know or think you know is wrong and coming from someone who is getting paid to mislead you.

Some minor details about me is the fact that I'm a political junkie that will blow away your stereotype of the typical conservative. I'm cultured, educated, into sports, into clubs, nightlife, music and love photography. I spend much of my time reading, writing, working out, running and dancing swing and lindy-hop.

The biggest reason I started this blog was because of the ignorance that permeates through much of America and our political world. Too often our elected officials are making decisions based on the good of their own campaign and not of the people they represent. So The Real Republican is a way to real them back in and tell it like it is from my point of view. Read on and enjoy!
