Canadian Group Yanks Santorum Endorsement

It was a protest endorsement anyway when the facebook group "Canadians United Against the Re-election of Barack Obama" endorsed Rick Santorum to be the Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. The choices were, and still are, pretty slim.

Yet recent events have led us to revoke our support for Rick, mainly because under the stress of a campaign he apparently cracked and said the most outlandish thing at the worst possible time.

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Thursday said Republicans should give President Barack Obama another term if Santorum isn’t the GOP nominee and for a second day compared rival Mitt Romney to an Etch A Sketch toy.

Ok - it seems to me that someone forgot to change the batteries in the filter between Rick's brain and his mouth. Not only does Romney have the support of many conservative thinkers, he will also be held accountable by his base. Obama is also being held accountable by his base. Get it?

So even though Mitt the "javelin" has some less-than-conservative past dealings to answer for, he will have some very conservative supporters to answer to!

Let us hope that Limbaugh is correct and that finally we're seeing a new, conservative Mitt Romney rising from the primary ashes... but please leave the white horse at home!

Why Candidates Should NOT Bow Out til Convention

Today, March 13th is primary day in several states in America. 116 delegates are up for grabs—including 49 in Alabama, 38 in Mississippi, 20 in Hawaii and 9 in American Samoa. But none of the states are "winner take all"—which means there is little opportunity for Santorum or Gingrich to make big gains on Romney as long as the front-runner finishes a close second or third place.

However the call by many pundits for everyone but Mitt to drop out now (or sooner) boggles the mind somewhat; as though today' primaries shouldn't mean anything. Conservative bloggers and others opining in the op/ed sections of newspapers and radio shows would deny the voters of the remaining states their right to cast their vote for their "man".

In the past, there have been far worse primary seasons and we need only look to the recent past for some very juicy material to make our point. The Democrat primary race of '08 was, for lack of a better word, nasty! Who could ever forget the rivalry between Hillary and Barack? Yet, when it came right down to the wire, a deal was made behind closed doors and Obama became the nominee and won the general.

So let us, as conservatives, not allow the liberal democrat pundits plant seeds of discontent into the minds of the republican electorate. Let us allow the voters to make their choice in every state and carry the race to the end... no matter where it leads. After all, it's an election!

Rick Santorum - Serving the rest of JFK`s Presidency

It has been effectively argued by many that if John F. Kennedy were alive today he would be utterly disgusted by the rancid stench of liberalism which has infected the Democrat Party. He would either have switched sides or done his best to keep the liberal disease at bay.

Like Santorum, Kennedy was a Roman Catholic. It´s widely believed that he was pro-life, even if that question wasn´t so much at stake in American politics, like nowadays. He nominated a pro-life judge, Byron White, for the U.S. Supreme Court. That means, being a pro-life Democrat, that it would be almost impossible for him to win the Democrat Party nomination today, since all their Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates have been pro-choice, since 1976. His sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver is still active in the pro-life movement, and his brother-in-law, Sargent Shriver, was the most recent pro-life supporter to have been in a Democrat Party Presidential ticket, in 1972.

Kennedy called his domestic program the "New Frontier". It ambitiously promised federal funding for education, medical care for the elderly, economic aid to rural regions, and government intervention to halt the recession. Kennedy also promised an end to racial discrimination. In his 1963 State of the Union address, he proposed substantial tax reform and a reduction in income tax rates from the current range of 20–90% to a range of 14–65%; he proposed a reduction in the corporate tax rates from 52 to 47%. Kennedy added that the top rate should be set at 70 percent if certain deductions were not eliminated for high income earners. Congress did not act until 1964, after his death, when the top rate was raised to 70%. To the Economic Club of New York, he spoke in 1963 of "... the paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and revenues too low; and the soundest way to raise revenue in the long term is to lower rates now." Congress passed few of Kennedy's major programs during his lifetime, but did vote them through in 1964–65 under his successor Johnson.

So let us add it all up. Kennedy was pro-life and pro-tax cuts. He favored American exceptional-ism policies overseas and even into space saying:

"No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space."..."We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
Santorum is so similar on these issues that his candidacy is a stark reminder and indictment against the Democrat Party and the virus which has infiltrated it.

Finally when we take a good look at Kennedy we see a man who understood the evils of Communism. We see a man dedicated to keeping it as far away from American interests as possible. Can the same be said for the Democrats today. No. Communism has become the Democrat strategy with universal rationed healthcare and government intrusion in all areas of life. The current battle is not so much between Republicans and Democrats but between free people and dictators. Between those who wish to preserve life and prosperity and those who wish to kill off millions and rob the population of it`s right to self determination.

And we believe that Jack would agree with Rick Santorum who reportedly stated that Satan is gunning for America. In fact it could very well be argued that Kennedy himself could have given that exact same speech... as his resignation declaration from the failed Democrat Party.

PRESS RELEASE: Canadian Group Endorses Santorum in Primary

We know we're a small group, but we're right, we're passionate about conservatism, and we're growing. And now we've decided to make an endorsement for the American primary GOP elections being held in the US.

Why? Because in spite of the arrogant snobbery of many Canadians large numbers of us realize that the US has been the bulwark which holds much of the world's evil in check and in many cases, check mate. Pay close attention to the drama unfolding in the Middle East, especially when comparing the American battle ships to the Iranian ones and you soon realize the scope of contrast between the two. Why, the mere lowering of an American anchor would be enough, I dare say, to crush the largest of the Persian fleet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a proud "Canuck"; proud of our culture and history of rugged individualism. Proud of our landscape as I drive the Trans Canada Hi way. Proud of our inventiveness and proud of our diversity. But I am also proud of our intelligence, insight, and ability to foster healthy and respectful as well as respected relationships with other nations.

There is no shame in admitting that, for the sake of embracing the reality of global tension and conflict, we have had an outstanding relationship with a protector; almost a kind of body guard if you will. There are many who could not say this. Israel, for example, is literally surrounded on all sides by enemies who have tried to wipe her out and will likely do so again. South Korea would be over run by the North if they dropped their guard by only a little.

Yet being the neighbor to the world's only super power has afforded Canadians a luxurious lifestyle. Eighty percent of the population lives withing one hundred miles of the border because Americans buy our stuff. If the USA folds up Canadians do as well. As a small business man I have known the intimate relationship we have with the US economy. Sure, attempts are being made to decouple from it but honestly, even if Canada does broker a deal with China or anyone else, where do the Asians get their prosperity from if not from the US? If Americans aren't buying Chinese-made goods then they fold up as well.

So with that brief opining on the reasons for a Canadian endorsement interest in American elections let's take a look at the candidates; four of them at least. Ron Paul has no shortage of passionate supporters. Yet he has expressed certain isolationist leanings. Is this the best scenario for Canada? If N. Korea decides to launch an offensive against Canadian shores via long-range missiles (or whatever) could we count on Ron Paul's administration to help out? According to him we ought to be self-sufficient. We, along with Israel, should be able to defend ourselves. In fact there is video documentation of Ron Paul defending Iran's right to possess nuclear weapons. Israel could not count on the US under Ron Paul to defend her and it is in the world's interest to keep Israel protected, folks. Even if you don't adhere to the biblical significance of Israel being in the land, the Islamists have a world-wide edict to establish a caliphate, a planet on which sharia law is in place and there needs to be powers in place to prevent that from happening. If you don't see the significance of this then, for the sake of the rest of us who do, stay home on voting day.

Newt Gingrich: the man with too much baggage. Sure, he gets it on many levels. Yet considering the extreme negative polling coming from the ladies, his alleged unethical financial dealings, and his grandiose arrogance, we have ruled him out. Again: too much baggage.

The Front runner, Mitt Romney. He's got style, good looks, lots of money, and great oratory ability. Yet the attacks against him now are nothing compared with the deluge that awaits him. Once it is revealed that Romney could actually run as Vice President under Obama according to his record, which is going to get a lot more scrutiny to say the least, he may not seem so appealing. Add to that the personal beliefs he holds like the anti-Christian Mormon tenet which teaches that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers and you've got yourself a recipe for keeping Bible-believing Christians home in November thereby handing Obama four more years.

So, though not a perfect choice, Santorum has been consistently conservative. Yes, he's had a cozy relationship with Washington yet that's where it all happens anyway, folks. Let's face it, Obama has done a great job demonizing lobby groups and yet - is every lobbyist cause evil? Of course not. American politics requires someone familiar with the system and who can navigate it. Being conservative doesn't mean being anti-Washington. That mentality has to be taken off the table. At least until they move the White House.

So even though this is no ordinary press release it is our endorsement. God bless you Rick Santorum... and God speed. To join us please visit our facebook page today.
