Red State Army

Sadly, we were right about the Obama administration...President Obama isn't bi-partisan and isn't operating a "transparent" federal government. He is the Socialist megalomaniac we thought he would be.

He's also the most powerful man in the history of our planet. Obama has a Democrat House and Senate. America's media is a pro-Obama joke with NBC and the New York Times leading the way. Socialists countries around the world are very happy to see America losing it's way and heading toward socialism.

The greatness of The United States is under fire. The election of Obama was a reflection of the fact that Americans no longer believe in the power of the individual.

We are a country that has made a statement. We now look to government to solve our problems. The "Greatest Generation" may go down as the last great generation.

Are we still the "land or the free and home of the brave" or are we now the "land of the freeloaders and home of surrenderers"?

The United States government is now left-of-center. Democrats have institutionalized class envy. Sadly, we can no longer be defined as a Judeo-Christian nation. We have decided to be just another country, agnostic in our values, and supportive of big government...no better and no different from the rest.

Communicating the differences between the socialist principles of the Democrats and the pro-freedom, capitalist principles of the conservative Republicans is the purpose of this site.

Red states and blue states refer to those states of the United States whose residents predominantly vote for the Republican Party or Democratic Party. A blue state tends to vote for the Democratic Party, while a red state tends towards the Republican Party.

Here is the truth...

There is a GOD.
Capitalism, with limited government interference, works.
Individuals, not the government, create wealth and opportunity.
America is an agent for good around the world.
Freedom isn't free.

Nobody communicated the exceptionalism of America like Ronald Reagan.

REMARKS AT THE CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL ACTION CONFERENCE DINNER March 20, 1981 (excerpts)

It's been said that anyone who seeks success or greatness should first forget about both and seek only the truth, and the rest will follow.

Because ours is a consistent philosophy of government, we can be very clear: We do not have a social agenda, separate, separate economic agenda, and a separate foreign agenda. We have one agenda. Just as surely as we seek to put our financial house in order and rebuild our nation's defenses, so too we seek to protect the unborn, to end the manipulation of schoolchildren by utopian planners, and permit the acknowledgement of a Supreme Being in our classrooms just as we allow such acknowledgements in other public institutions.

We've heard in our century far too much of the sounds of anguish from those who live under totalitarian rule. We've seen too many monuments made not out of marble or stone but out of barbed wire and terror. But from these terrible places have come survivors, witnesses to the triumph of the human spirit over the mystique of state power, prisoners whose spiritual values made them the rulers of their guards. With their survival, they brought us “the secret of the camps,” a lesson for our time and for any age: Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.

That's why the Marxist vision of man without God must eventually be seen as an empty and a false faith -- the second oldest in the world -- first proclaimed in the Garden of Eden with whispered words of temptation: “Ye shall be as gods.” The crisis of the Western world, Whittaker Chambers reminded us, exists to the degree in which it is indifferent to God. “The Western world does not know it,” he said about our struggle, “but it already possesses the answer to this problem -- but only provided that its faith in God and the freedom He enjoins is as great as communism's faith in man.”

There is, in America, a greatness and a tremendous heritage of idealism which is a reservoir of strength and goodness. It is ours if we will but tap it. And, because of this -- because that greatness is there -- there is need in America today for a reaffirmation of that goodness and a reformation of our greatness.

Fellow citizens, fellow conservatives, our time is now. Our moment has arrived. We stand together shoulder to shoulder in the thickest of the fight. If we carry the day and turn the tide, we can hope that as long as men speak of freedom and those who have protected it, they will remember us, and they will say, “Here were the brave and here their place of honor.”

-Ronald Reagan
