Richard Mourdock, the man who defeated long-time Senator Richard Lugar in Indiana’s Republican primary with 60 percent of the vote, is opposed to big government at home, and big government abroad.
During a conference call organized by Americans for Limited Government (ALG) last week, Mourdock made it clear that he would safeguard American sovereignty and independence.
By contrast, the defeated Lugar had been a persistent supporter of international treaties and agreements that would allow for internationalists to influence U.S. policy. Even after the “climategate” scandal implicated the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia in Great Britain, Lugar, and other establishment figures, continue to accept the premise of man-made global warming theories.
Emails leaked from the CRU show the researchers were willing to manipulate and doctor scientific data when they could find no evidence that climate change was tied to human activity. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been heavily reliant upon the CRU for emissions restrictions polices that Sen. Lugar and others have advanced.
Mourdock, a geologist by training, has a much different view.
Just a few miles from where he lives in Indiana, is a marker that shows where glacial ice once covered Northern America, Mourdock told listeners. There’s no question the climate has changed and that it continues to change, he said. But the idea that mankind is largely or even partially responsible for warming and cooling cycles is not rooted in fact, Mourdock said. Even so, too many government officials to continue to shape and drive policy based on U.N. findings that are highly suspect, he noted.
Earlier in the month, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said during a reception held for the Environmental Defense Fund that he viewed climate change as a potential national security threat. In reality, Panetta should be concerned about his own policies, Mourdock said.
“The irony here is that our energy policy is in fact a threat to our national security,” said Mourdock. “We are basing our energy policy on the greatest hoax of all time, which is that mankind is changing the climate.”
Mourdock also expressed opposition to the Law of Sea Treaty, which Panetta advocated in his speech. Proponents claim that it would grant the U.S. greater access to sea lanes and head off international disputes. Mourdock is opposed because in his view it would empower U.N. bureaucrats and prevent the U.S. from acting unilaterally in its own best interests.
“I don’t view the U.N. has the answer to every international problem,” Mourdock said. Mr. Lugar does seem to think the U.S. should ever act unilaterally. But in the U.N. there are a number of nations that are not sympathetic toward us.”
If elected in the general election, it appears there will be a fresh breeze blowing into the Senate coming from Indiana, and the stagnant air around the Potomac could sure use it.

This “broken” immigration system is by design. We can pass all the legislation one desires but if laws are not enforced, they are “broken.” And the design I reference has now become obvious with the “supreme” court’s latest unconstitutional decree which, if nothing else, supports this broken chorus! In a 7-2 anti Arizona immigration decision, these ill behaved black robes have once again turned their back on our law of the land as they assign more legitimacy to foreigners than to our Constitution.
Don't you just love it when liberals (selectively) thump the Bible to browbeat good people into going along with things the Bible clearly doesn't say or condone? Ohio Governor John Kasich is now trying to scam people into believing God is a socialist and He wants Kasich to take your property and give it to other people. Last time I checked, neither the Bible nor the U.S. Constitution gave authority for that.
GOP support for the amnesty bill is drying up like a wad of spit on the sand along the southern border of the United States. Interestingly, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who was backed by the Tea Party when he was elected, has not only pushed this turd of an amnesty bill with the worst of them (like Demagogue Senator Chuck Schumer), but voted against securing the border today.
In case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh interviewed Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his radio show earlier today. There are RINOs, there are Republicans who disappoint and flirt with becoming RINOs...and then there are real Republicans. There is every indication that Ted Cruz is the real deal, and is a reliable Republican. He tells the truth, tells it like it is, and ticks off the "mainstream" media and other liberals something fierce.
Do you know what a "demagogue" is? Webster's dictionary defines demagogue as "a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power." Does that describe any politicians you know? Does that describe a particular political party that you've heard of?

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
