Conservative Refocus

Barry Secrest

The call came in at the oddest of hours.  On the other end of the line was one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world. The activist author’s book had “struck a chord” was the message from the Left-wing billionaire. It wouldn’t be long before the author’s work would become a signet of change behind the closed doors of a US Administration with a chillingly unprecedented agenda.

Irish born and ivy-league schooled, Samantha Power would eventually find herself escorted through one of the well-guarded gossamer entrances of global power where she wouldn’t allow her opportunity go to waste. While Power set to work crafting an unabashedly invasive  foreign policy agenda, her husband, Cass Sunstein, would be tirelessly refashioning America’s equally invasive domestic policy agenda. These two would, in short order, prove to be a tag-team of liberal destruction for America’s already daunting future.

“A Problem from Hell,” the Pulitzer prize winning book that Samantha Power authored, would eventually come to be viewed, not only as a severely misguided book to those on the Right, but also as an aptly titled indictment of the Obama Administration itself. The White House’s dual-pronged agenda of both domestic and foreign policy initiatives, oddly coupled with a large number of still standing Bush nation-building policies, would, over time, prove to be nothing less than a demolition derby of American interests crashing into and careening off of one another in bizarre earnest.

Israel, as a result, and being one of America’s closest allies, would soon find itself in the Administration’s targeting reticule, due largely in part to both Power’s command of the President’s ear and ‘the other’ whose goals are an anathema to all things American.

There Would be Hell To Pay

Almost as an antithesis to the Liberal anti-Israel mayhem being spawned by the most progressive power couple within the beltway, former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, was also readying himself for a bit of his own ill-designed anti-constitutional mayhem.

Meet The Press, which has quickly become a veritable media bookend to the Obama Administration, wanted to talk to Gingrich, and the feeling was beyond mutual.  But what Gingrich had to deliver to the political world was not at all what one would have typically expected. Gingrich had been tirelessly working with his comely wife, Callista, for the crowning moment of his presidential run for some time; this would be his shining moment of emergent triumph…or would it?

Hours after Gingrich’s auto-expose’, many Conservatives, after having just spent a considerable portion of time defending Gingrich in various forums that immediately followed his presidential announcement, would find themselves at a loss for words due directly to the Meet the Press interview. Even the Progressives, in excruciating chagrin, would find themselves partially defending Gingrich’s remarks.

When the news of Newt’s blasphemy finally viraled out to Conservadom’s shocked derision and outrage, one particular thought seemed to pervade -with regard to both Gingrich and his words.
