Conservative Refocus
By Barry Secrest
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity"....
Charles Dickens in part, at least, sums up 2012 almost prophetically, for many of us....
Indeed, as all of the hope for change that was built up by the political Right in 2012 got completely obliterated on November the 6th, it also became time to begin laying out a battle plan for 2013. Regarding the Republican leadership, so far, that plan appears to be to drop their rusty ideologies and run like hell.
For Conservatives, it's clearly a time for an educational reaping of the harvest, but what about the Democrats?
Well, the Liberals' plan continues to be one of mythic misdirection on the one hand, while abruptly wheeling their party hard-over to the Left, on the other. But, while many may have forgotten 2010 in all of this bureaucratic bedlam, many others of us can see a historical repeat of 2010 coming for 2014.
You see, while few still will blame El Magnifico for the coming pain, the Liberals, as a whole, neither cannot nor will not escape the residue of Obama's ideological lunacy. However, all of that aside, now as 2013 is at Genesis becomes where we get to go back and relive all the things that happened for 2012 in the form of Conservative Refocus columns that shined most brightly.
#10) Bumbling Brothers Burn Em' and Bail-Out Circus: The Greatest Show on Earth

Coming in at the 10th slot, out of well over 100 articles, "Bumbling Brother's" was a labor of love intent on comparing the Obama Regime to a three ring circus that actually worked out pretty well.
When it comes to frivolous Federal expenditures, Barack the Job Slayer and his colorful choom gang will come out hailing the skyrocketing outlays in effusive triplication, with trumpets blazing and disciples bowing. The President's cultish high priests within the media, ready and fully waiting to gather round and shout down anyone who dissents, dutifully emit ad hoc charges of racism, bigotry, sexism and other such derogatory language until the offending party is completely muffled and totally depleted.
However, the main point of the article was this rather astounding fact with regard to US tax Revenues:
While the US is collecting over 20% more in revenue from a mere 313 million people than China is collecting, which has a population of four times America's at 1.3 Billion and has a Communist system, for heaven's sake, the statists in America still managed to overspend their 2011 collections by an astounding $1.3 trillion and in what is supposed to be a Free Market system, to boot.
Even worse?
If you add India and China's total revenue collections together, with a total population of over 2.5 billion people which is well over 1/3 the entire world's population, their collections are then roughly equal to the revenue collection of the United States, even with less than 5% of the world's population.
Coming in at the 9th slot was a simple and quick refutation of Jake Tapper over the Obama "Birther" Certificate recusal that went absolutely ballistic in the number of reads:
#9) AfterBirther Nonsense or Media Abortion? A Rebuttal to Jake Tapper and ABC News on the Birther Issue
Our closing point to Tapper who sought to nullify the issue was simply this:
Interesting, it is, that the only folks who find these questions of Obama's eligibility "ridiculous" are largely the ones on the extreme Left and the Establishment class, such as you within the media, Jake. It reminds me of the Catholic Churches recent admission that the world is round. Like it or not, the doubts will persist until we see some actual evidence that disproves everything we have on file up to this point. And, by the way, it will take a lot more than a poorly forged birth certificate that was "finally found" after a difficult two year search.
Pinhead....
#8) The Best of Conservative Refocus for 2011: Ten Creepy Tales of Statism

Next up, was a column that rehashed our top colmuns from 2011.
Ya just gotta love that.....
At the 7th most popular position, was a quick column which was derived from a news report on a forced rebating position in the Obamacare mandate. Here, insurance companies were forced to rebate "profit" over an acceptable amount back to the proletariat:
You see, one of the most basic theories of Communist Marxism is the fact that Karl Marx, the originator of Marxism, felt that the State should take whatever it needed from the people in order to pay for its costs of providing services to the proletariat, in this case healthcare services to US Citizens, as a Collectivist economic necessity.
In Marxist theory, one of the repeatedly illustrated quotes is this one:
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
#7) Obamacare and Marxism: The Communist Construct in Obama's Healthcare Mandate Surfaces

The core idea from the Liberal Utopians, i.e. Progressives, suggests the desire for a world completely without natural risk, a thing which is totally at odds with Natural Law. The rueful truth to the Progressives' aims, however, is the greater truth that speaks to the usurpation of a mass grouping of useful idiots and the insidious machinations of a multi-generational Globalist movement which touts a new age, while actually hearkening back to the Dark Ages.

#6) America's Independence Day: It's Not Just About Fireworks Anymore

Coming at midway through our most popular of 2012, was a concerted defense of Rush Limbaugh, the Doctor of Democracy, who had gotten himself into trouble over the Sandra Fluke incident, and needed to be defended. The Conservative Media responded quickly and corralled the wagons around Rush while also attacking his attackers and baring long teeth at those who sought to abandon him.

It obviously worked out for Rush; however, things were touch and go there for a few days:
#5) The Fluke Apostacy: Rush Limbaugh and The Tides Of Trollop

Next up was an article that actually proved to be wrong, in the long run, despite the fact that its reasoning was clearly correct. It's one of the few things we have ever gotten wrong, but at least we appear to be in good company:
#4) Not Good Enough Even For Government Work: Ten Reasons Why Obama Won't Be Re-Elected

Drifting quickly back again to the wise youngster's voice, his subjectivity reminding me a great deal of my own young sons of about the same age, he was highlighting a growing concern for America's future. As I listened to the two discuss America's current generational quandary on the radio, I glanced up at the Charlotte skyline, my vehicle describing a long, lazy arc around the metropolis; uptown buildings leaping from a lush canopy of trees. My gaze returned to the freeway long enough to verify where I and the other vehicles were. I glanced up at the sky scrapers again, consternated that something very familiar was missing. My eyes darted cautiously across the skyline trying to find this missing symbol that should have been embedded deep in the heart of one of America's largest financial centers, and yet the expected elements, long a familiar sight, simply weren't there.
Next up at third most popular. was an astounding post which seemed to prove that there was a number of questions, even to Obama's attorneys, that the President had some clear problems concerning his birth certificate:
NEW YORK, NY – After a Maricopa County law enforcement agency conducted a six-month forensic examination which determined that the image of Obama's alleged 1961 Certificate of Live Birth posted to a government website in April, 2011 is a digital fabrication and that it did not originate from a genuine paper document, arguments from an Obama eligibility lawyer during a recent New Jersey ballot challenge hearing reveals the image was not only a fabrication, but that it was likely part of a contrived plot by counterfeiters to endow Obama with mere political support while simultaneously making the image intentionally appear absurd and, therefore, invalid as evidence toward proving Obama's ineligibility in a court of law.
#3) The Audacity of Hoax: Obama Birth Certificate Admitted Forgery by Obama Attorney (CBS News 5 Video)
At second, was a heavily researched article, in which went back in time and pulled out highlights from Obama's fifty, or so, years (No one knows exactly)
In the post we at least try to explain some of the events that shaped El Magnifico's life, without boring everyone to tears. The effort was successful, placing the column at one of the most read of all time, at Conservative Refocus:
So, why did the Associated Press, back on June 27th, 2004, trumpet the fact that a Kenyan-born American named Barack Obama was now being elevated as a US Senator in the East African Sunday Standard newspaper, and is this article actually legitimate?
Indeed, it is, as a matter of fact. When this story was first discovered some time ago, we actually visited the East-African Standard website, clicked on the associated link in the EAS Standard's archived wayback machine, and there both the article and picture magically appeared. Unfortunately, the link has since been taken down, due to unmentionably odd reasons, we might add. But why did this story appear and, once again, is it real? The answer to this question demands a journey all the way back to Obama's origins in order to understand both the man and his often stealthily applied radical ideology, and it can only be accomplished here in two parts:
#2) Obama's Journey: The Story of An American Marxist

A strategic concern it is, within this nation, and now most especially, as many mischaracterize the free market as something greedily contrived and filled with excessive fault, when in fact, it is simply the most natural order of things when it comes to human socioeconomic interaction and the service of others. Many would even further assert that it's high time the balance of our corporate leaders began realizing this to the point of voicing it, and yes, to even those self-acclaimed wiser beings who populate the corporate Media news jungle. So far, this labor of love has largely been left to the Academians, and we all know where that road to serfdom leads.

So, there you have it, the best of our best according to our highly valued readers, but to end I need only point out a passage in an article written not too long ago, about the mean differences of being either a Conservative or a modern-day Liberal:
Our opposition, the Liberals, sees the human race more as an artificial infection that must be controlled and ameliorated, rather than nourished and multiplied.
The Right sees humanity as a natural part of the environment, and a powerful force of nature in its own right, but far less powerful than the might and the energy that exists within the earth and its atmosphere.
The Right believe that we, as a people, naturally belong wherever we might be, and that Natural Law holds each of us as valuable and worthy unto ourselves. The Left seems to harbor a veiled sort of contempt for the embarrassing predicament of their being caught human, who will then try all sorts of ridiculous labors and contrivances to correct their natural conundrum of being born a species less desirable.
