How to screw up a team:

Suppose you want to take a football team that has possibilities of winning a championship and really screw it up so it cannot win. Perhaps you are secretly working for the other team. How would you do it?

First, let’s identify the three most important attributes of a good football player. What attributes would you list? Perhaps, you would say an athlete needs to be in really top physical condition. So far, so good. What else? A football player needs to understand the rules of the game really well and be passionate about the game. Good again, anything else? Finally, the really superb player will have a very competitive nature and a burning desire to win the game every time.

Now I am ready to spring my great plan to screw up a football team. Not just any team either, one that has won championships in the past. How will I do it? Simple! I announce that a good football player needs to have only one of the three attributes we identified above; but not all three. That’s it. Just divide the players on the team into three groups. One group works out in the gym and is totally focused on being in really good physical condition but neglects knowledge of the game and a competitive nature. Another group is told they should read everything ever written about the rules of the game and how the game is played, but they may neglect physical conditioning and they do not need to develop a competitive nature. The final group is told merely to “be competitive” but they are not required to understand the rules of the game and don’t have to work on any diet or physical conditioning.

Now to carry out this plan, when I discuss football players, I point out that they can be divided into three different types. What type are you? Are you a physical player? Are you a competitive player? Or, are you a rules player?

As you read this, you are probably thinking how really absurd this is. After all, if a player is competitive, he will also be in great physical condition and will also be knowledgeable about the rules of the game. We talk about athletes being “well rounded” meaning they have all of the attributes of success. To even think of a professional athlete intentionally neglecting any element of the game is ridiculous.

How to screw up a political party:

As dumb as the example above seems to any sports fan, it is nevertheless being used by political pundits on the left to divide and conquer the conservative wing of the Republican party. We are told that there are three different types of conservatives. Folks on the far left, and folks in the other political party; looked at the conservative movement and noticed it is as strong as a three legged stool. If they can somehow take away any one of the three legs of a stool, they know that stool will fall over.

In the case of political conservatives, we have three core values and beliefs that, taken as a whole, define the conservative movement. Those three attributes of a conservative are a strong national defense, an understanding of free market economics, and respect for traditional Judeo-Christian morality, as found in the Holy Bible. Each of these core values reinforces both the others, and all three are a precondition for a strong, successful, and free society.

The enemies of freedom know they do not have to make a frontal assault on all our traditional values and strengths as a nation in order to destroy us. In fact, a frontal assault on American culture is easily seen as an attempt to destroy us and that assault is not difficult to counter effectively.

Why not, the left reasons, merely attack one third of the conservative movement? If the left can succeed in attacking and destroying just 1/3 of the conservative movement, we are no longer a majority and they win. The beauty of this strategy for the Democrats, and Republicans on the left, is that they do not even all need to agree which 1/3 of the conservative movement to attack. They just keep repeating the lie that there are three separate, and mutually exclusive, types of conservatives. Voters who consider themselves to be conservative are encouraged to buy into this lie and identify themselves as hyphenated conservatives.

I have a newsflash for the sneaky folks on the left. We are too smart to buy into this garbage. There are no hyphenated Americans in this country, and there are no hyphenated conservatives in the Republican party. You either are, or, are not, an American. Yes, our ancestors came from other places and we take pride in being Americans with ancestors who lived in other times and different cultures.

So it is with the Republican party, we are individuals who each may be more passionate about one issue than another. But we are all conservatives, working together to restore limited government, transparency, fiscal responsibility, respect for life and the rule of law, so we can all live in a country that is, and remains, strong and free.

There is no such thing as only being a “social” conservative, or a “Fiscal” conservative, or a “National Defense” conservative.

If you believe in liberty, freedom, the rule of law, common sense, patriotism, and have respect for your Creator, and our constitution; you are just a plain old un-hyphenated American conservative Republican. The last one of those we elected President was Ronald Reagan. I have been in the trenches fighting for the heart and soul of the Republican party since I was the Youth Chairman for Barry Goldwater.

In the last few years I have heard a lot of conservative Clergymen and political leaders say they have been praying that God will raise up another Ronald Reagan to lead this country out of the political wilderness. It is too early to focus on, or speculate about, the next President. However, I am very confident our prayers have been answered in the question of who should replace Bob Inglis in South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District. We have an un-hyphenated, American, conservative, constitutionalist, leader, in the Ronald Reagan tradition running hard for Congress. Her name is Dr. Christina Jeffrey.
