No More Sellouts!

      If anyone ever doubted the  need for our Conservative Party, two recent events should prove extremely convincing.  First, 1/8 of all Republican senators voted for the gay marriage bill--apparently without any recriminations from leadership.  Second, Republican power broker Senator Tom Libous continues his alliance with Democrat Senator Klein, a hack  who represents everything wrong with politics.  For Klein, no principle is too sacred to sell if it is to his benefit.  Unfortunately, there are far too many Libous clones in the Republican Party who are more than willing to cut deals with anyone on anything if it aids their ambitions.  It's time to take a broom to incumbents who represent only their own interests and replace them with  people who actually stand for something.

Obama's Release of Oil From Strategic Reserve

Americans face a long-term energy crisis, largely of our own making.  Under the Democrats, we have been forbidden from exploiting our own resources, rendering us dependent on foreign sources.  We have been forbidden from drilling in ANWR, and off our own coasts (allowing, by the way, foreign nations to take oil from the Caribbean;)  nuclear power is off-limits; in places like New York, accessing vast deposits of shale oil is blocked.  Even the use of "alternative energy" such as wind power and solar are now hindered by questionable environmental policies.  Adding insult to injury, even existing oil fields in Texas are now under attack by leftists who allege that they may disturb a local lizard.  President Obama's response?  He has released some oil from the Strategic Reserve, which will have only an extremely minor and very temporary effect on the problem.  It will also endanger our nation's security in the event of a national emergency, such as a major  disaster or a military crisis.  It will, however, give the illusion that the White House is concerned with the plight of Americans. Candidate Obama once said that under his energy plan, prices would "necessarily skyrocket."  For once, he was right.

Tax Hikes Will Increase, Not Decrease, The Federal Budget

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has called for tax increases to stop the deficit. This is precisely the thinking that is driving the US towards a depression.  The Obama Administration refuses to acknowledge that its policies have prevented job growth.  What Geithner and his fellow travelers refuse to acknowledge is that the deficit can only be ended by growing the economy, thereby creating new sources of revenue.  Tax increases will only discourage growth.

NO TO HUNTSMAN!

Obama's ambassador to China, John Huntsman, a hero to the cap & trade crowd, wants the Republican nod for president.  He's in the wrong party. There's already too many Bejing-loving liberals in Washington.

NY State Senate: Legislative Priorities

Conservative Party of New York State Letter to NYS Senators - June 21, 2011 ~~~~~~~~~~

June 21, 2011 Dear Senator: In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote, "These are the times that try men's souls" and certainly, the issues that need to be resolved before session ends hold the same weight that Thomas Paine's words expressed at the birth of America. Unfair taxation caused a revolution that changed the world and burdensome taxation in New York State is currently causing the demise of our state.   The census numbers show the steady decline in population as people flee to states with less taxation, mandates and nanny state government.  We have lost 18 Congressional Seats over the past 50 years and when the lines are redrawn, we will be at the lowest number since 1823. New Yorker's priorities are tax relief, mandate relief and jobs.  They are not focused on changing the definition of marriage.  Changing the definition of marriage will not change the economic climate in New York State, yet if the Wicks Law is eliminated and the Triborough Amendment tossed, the economy could grow.  If medical malpractice changes are addressed, the cost of practicing medicine would decline.  If waste and fraud in Medicaid are addressed, as well as, bringing Medicaid benefits in line with private health insurance benefits, the spiraling health care cost could be contained.  The burdensome regulations that strangulate the creation of business are the pressing issues that must be addressed;  not changing the definition of marriage that will only enhance the business of trial lawyers. Carving out exceptions in a proposed law to change the definition of marriage will do nothing to protect the small businesses that will be affected by yet another mandate and could force more businesses to leave the state.  In these trying times, I urge you to focus on making the changes that will benefit all New Yorkers by creating a business climate that encourages job growth, not one that encourages trial lawyers.   Don't fall prey to the unintended consequences that will result if the definition of marriage is changed.  These are trying times and it is in your hands to do what is right for all of society. Sincerely, Michael R. Long State Chairman

Barney Frank Must Go

The financial meltdown was largely a result of misdeeds in the housing market, and the Fannie Mae organization had a mammoth  role in that scandal.  Democrat liberals had a huge role in creating the mortgage disaster, largely as a result of devastatingly bad legislation, bad policy, and politically-motivated decision making at the Fannie Mae bureaucracy.    A glimpse of how staffing for policy-making positions was done is provided by Rep. Barney Frank, the left wing Democrat from Massachusetts, who has admitted getting his lover, Herb Moses, appointed to a key position at Fannie Mae.  Despite Rep. Barney Frank's key role in the scandal that nearly destroyed the American economy, he remains in office and largely untouched by the mega-disaster.  Those responsible for the greatest assault on the American economy in history must be made to answer for their actions.

Kremlin Endorses Obama

 Breitbart.com, has reported that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has stated that he hoped Barack Obama  wins re-election.  Need anything more be said?  

Conservative Party Seeks To Suspend Local Gas Sales Tax

The NY State Conservative Party is mounting a petition drive to suspend the local sales tax on gasoline.  This would provide at least some relief to motorist suffering through skyrocketing gas prices in the midst of a devastating near-depression.  We urge all voters to support the Conservative Party in this vital effort.

Weiner's Resignation

     Few tears are being shed over Rep. Weiner's resignation.  In addition to his  personal foibles, his arrogance, so typical of the hard left (particularly in New York) debased the national debate on key issues.  During his many media appearances, he resorted to talking louder than his fellow commentators, used name calling, and ignored facts. Good riddance.  

Flag Day

     From the time it was first carried in the American Revolution, through the raising on Iwo Jima and up until today, "Old Glory" has inspired and encouraged the cause of freedom.  We encourage all who believe in the principles our nation was founded upon to display it with honor today.

Whose Side Is Obama On?

     President Obama has sided with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and other anti-American interests in South America on the issue of ownership of the Falkland Islands, which Argentina, without any merit, claims sovereignty over.
 
     Once again, as occurs with alarming frequency, Obama has opposed the clear interests of America and America's allies.  Up until know, the conversation has been relatively low key, with Democrats suggesting the White House was taking a different approach to diplomacy, and Republicans, as usual, simply remaining relatively quiet.

     But the time has come to ask a truly uncomfortable and disquieting question.  Whose side is Barack Hussein Obama on?

   

The Great Media Double Standard

        There is little doubt that the media has a double standard.  Certainly, the coverage of Weiner would have been less humorous and far more furious had he been a Republican.

       A similar issue concerns President Obama's war in Libya.  Begun for the vaguest of reasons, the time limit for compliance with the War Powers Act has expired, and the White House is in clear violation.  Yet there is little reaction from the mainstream media.  One could only imagine the 24 hour, nonstop coverage this same action would have received had a Republican president taken the same steps.  Leftists agitators would have instigated mass protests on college campuses, huge marches on Washington, and much more.

       Leftist antisemitism is another issue the press chooses to ignore.  From anti-Israeli policies in the White House to bigoted attempts to outlaw Jewish rituals such as circumcision (the goal of a proposed law in California) the rise in this ancient prejudice within the leftist community has been intentionally overlooked.

       Perhaps the most significant story of the year concerns the ongoing descent of the American economy.  Indicators such as long-term unemployment, and the fall of housing prices, are actually WORSE than those in the Great depression of the 1930's.  Yet again, the press, so deeply biased in favor of Obama, continues to downplay this crisis.

      As Conservatives, we must do all that we can to get this message out to our fellow Americans:  Don't believe the liberal propaganda machine!

Join the New American Revolution

       Our nation is in crisis.  The White House has adopted radical, left-wing economic policies at home, and ruined the once vibrant American economy.  It has appeased our enemies abroad, and alienated our true allies.  It has advocated dangerous changes in our military strength. It has failed to secure our borders.

       Throughout the United States, in the media and in educational institutions, those who attempt to engage in candid discussions about the failure of leftist policies are discriminated against and harassed.  The great history of our nation is barely taught to our young. Traditional freedoms are infringed upon.

      In New York, despite taxes and policies that have chased many of our most productive enterprises and citizens out, the same party, and the same liberal ideology, continue to wreck havoc on what was once “The Empire State.”  Politicians enrich themselves at the expense of the citizenry.

       In The Bronx, the current structure of the Bronx Conservative Party has not risen to the challenge.  It has neglected it’s only worthwhile task—protecting our nation and its constitution by electing true conservatives.  The New American Revolution Conservative Club is not interested in personality clashes or making deals with the Democrats.  It’s only focus is to defeat leftists such as the nightmare Obama Administration, and those elected officials in New York who share his radical agenda.

     The New American Revolution Bronx Conservative Club is dedicated to working with the New York State Conservative Party and with patriots throughout New York to restore America and our state to the principles of our founding fathers and to the rule of law as espoused in the United States Constitution.

                Join us—and help restore America and New York to greatness!
