EZ Million One Of A Kind
Posted by: | CommentsOn Saturday, I was saddened to learn of EZ Million’s passing. He passed away due to complications of blood clots and infection. Just recently, he had to
have one leg amputated.
I first met EZ, in 1968-69 at my mom’s house in South OKC. EZ and my brother-in-law were active in the Republican Party and also at that time were always talking about computers. At the time, I actually thought both of them were a little strange.
EZ was one of the first conservatives in Cleveland County. He was a true believer that Congress should follow the Constitution. He preached this long before anyone else had ever thought about using the words “Constitutional Conservative”.
I do not believe we will ever have another EZ Million, he was an excellent statistician, colorful and sometimes controversial. He advocated for the OU/Texas game to be a home and home series and even talked about the amount of money Norman loses each year with the game being in Dallas.
EZ used to call me once or twice a week, asking who is running or who should be running for the Senate or the House in Cleveland County and he would recommend speakers for our luncheon club. He was a major advocate in trying
to get conservatives involved in School Board and City Council races.
I am proud to call EZ Million a friend. We will miss EZ, who without a question, was one of a kind!

Congressman Cole Endorses Doug Hoffman
Posted by: | CommentsDue to the vagaries of local politics two Republicans are on the ballot in the special election in NY-23. Doug Hoffman, the conservative, clearly represents the main stream values and positions of the Republican Party. He opposes the stimulus, cap and trade, card check, the Democratic health care bill and the Obama Administration’s reckless spending binge. He is a pro-life fiscal conservative who is committed to restraining the growth of government. And Hoffman is committed to fighting and winning the war in Afghanistan.
Doug Hoffman is right on the critical issues facing America — and he is the only Republican who can win this special election. For those reasons I have chosen to endorse Mr. Hoffman and my leadership PAC has contributed to his campaign. I look forward to working with Doug in Congress and welcoming him into the Republican Conference.

Senator Lindsey Graham Is A Sissy Whimp!
Posted by: | CommentsRobert Ringer, the author of the below article, is right on. I, for one, am
sick of hearing and seeing Graham and McCain speaking on behalf of the
Republican Party. McCain needs to retire! Graham needs to be beaten and get
a real conservative Republican in office. Graham does not speak for any
Republican that I know! If Graham cannot be beaten then he should at least
have the decency to switch to the Democrat party. Graham is one big joke!
Lindsey Graham to the Rescue
By Robert Ringer
If you’ve ever wondered how the Republican Party lost its way, some of
Senator Lindsey Graham’s recent comments should help you to understand.
Graham is part of a clique of progressive Republicans who for decades have
been pressuring party members to become Democratic look-alikes.
When I say clique, I am referring to political lifers like John McCain,
Orrin Hatch, and Arlen Specter (who finally had the decency to bolt to the
Democratic side of the aisle when he admitted that his Republican
constituency was likely to throw him out of office in 2010). All were bosom
buddies of Teddy the Lion – and remain pals with hard-left Democrats who are
still among the living.
From an intellectual standpoint, about the only difference between Lindsey
Graham and Lindsay Lohan is the way they spell their first names, as
evidenced by some of Graham’s recent comments. Of Glenn Beck, who today is
the single most powerful force representing the tyrannized majority in
America, he said, “Only in America can you make that much money crying.”
You would think that a purported conservative like Graham (you have my
permission to chuckle on that one) would be cheering Glenn Beck on, but the
truth is that Beck is a huge threat to the cozy partnership that many closet
progressives in the Republican Party have with their buddies across the
aisle. When they dine together in their plush congressional dining rooms,
there is a corruptive stench that permeates the air. Having become
accustomed to such a luxurious lifestyle over the decades, many Republicans
view anyone to the right of Hugo Chavez as a threat.
Graham went on to say that Beck is “not aligned with any party as far as I
can tell. He’s aligned with cynicism. And there’s always been a market for
cynicism. But we became a great nation not because we are a nation of
cynics. We became a great nation because we are a nation of believers.”
Beck should be flattered, because cynicism is a good thing – especially when
it comes to government. I like to refer to myself as a “positive cynic.”
Experience has taught me that a bit of skepticism is healthy, but once I
know the facts, I always believe that I can work things out.
Belief in coworkers who have proven themselves to be competent and
trustworthy is a good thing. Belief in your family is a good thing. Belief
in your own abilities is a good thing. There’s no question about it, when
you have factual or experience evidence to back it up, belief is a positive
attribute.
But believing in verbal gibberish and cheerleading that is camouflaged as
news, believing in empty slogans, and, above all, believing in politicians
is precisely what has gotten our nation into trouble. Graham is right – we
are a nation of believers. Unfortunately, we believe so easily that we take
seriously scoundrels and charlatans who continually tell us the tallest of
tales. It’s a habit we must break if we are to win the liberty revolution
that is now heating up.
Now, please don’t get the idea that Senator Graham is critical of everybody.
No sir, not this super-civil Republican mainstay. In the same interview, he
praised BHO for energizing young people and reaching out to Hispanic voters,
and made it a point to chastise Republicans whom he believes alienated
voters with anti-immigration “rhetoric” in the last election.
But Graham saved the best for last when he said that BHO had passed the
“ready to be commander-in-chief test” during the debates. No question about
it, the Duplicitous Despot has certainly been a great commander-in-chief -
not quite as good as Jimmy Carter, but, hey, what do you expect of a Marxist
who’s main experience is that of a community organizer?
Never one to quit on a winning note, Senator Graham added that he believes
“There [are] people in this country that [sic] are having a hard time
reconciling the fact that we have a black president,” he acknowledged.”
Really? And here I thought that a majority of white voters actually voted
for BHO. Hmm … is it possible that their discontent could have something
to do with his performance?
Finally, said Graham, “Do I want some of his policies to fail? You better
believe it. Do I want him to fail? No. Because he’s my commander-in-chief.”
Touching … really touching. Earth to Lindsey: If BHO’s policies fail, he
fails. Have you ever heard of a successful president whose policies failed?
If you still wonder why the Republican Party is on the verge of extinction,
it’s because the progressive element is so deeply entrenched in its ranks
that it no longer appeals to the majority of Americans – whose values are
conservative! If Republicans ever regain power and the progressives among
them get their way, a new liberty-based party had better be prepared to step
in and challenge the Dems, or all may be lost.
Put another way, the marketplace for freedom is now wide open for anyone
with the creativity and tenacity to create a new political party that the
majority of Americans can call home.
State OFRW Leader Wrong
Posted by: | Comments“Since the election of 2000, the OFRW and her member clubs have donated over $150,000 to candidates statewide.” That’s what the OFRW proudly proclaims on its webpage explaining how it distributes campaign funds to candidates.
But how much of that $150,000 was actually just redistributed among Republican candidate campaign accounts? A recent letter from the current OFRW Chair, Sara Jo Odom, raises this question. Chairwoman Odom recently wrote a letter scolding Republican legislators for failing to provide financial support for her organization. Apparently Odom asked our state legislators for financial support and only a handful responded.
With all due respect to Mrs. Odom and to the OFRW, her anger at our Republican legislators is completely misdirected. OFRW shouldn’t be asking Republican legislators to fork over $100 a year. And legislators’ failure to do so should not be taken as a sign of their failure to support the OFRW. Truth is that most legislators are very supportive of the OFRW and its 33 local clubs throughout the state. Legislators and their spouses regularly attend and volunteer at club events, and some even serve as local officers.
But the OFRW should not be relying on Republican office holders to contribute funds to the OFRW. In fact, it really should be the other way around. Among the “Objectives of the OFRW” is” to promote loyalty to the Republican Party, its candidates and its ideals.” And one of the best ways to promote loyalty to candidates is to give them the campaign funds necessary to get their message out.
The OFRW and its local clubs have been a tremendous financial supporter to our Republican candidates in the past – and our party’s success in the future depends upon the OFRW’s continues support in the future. But Mrs. Odom should not be chastising our elected leaders – instead she ought to be leading the effort to raise funds to contribute to them.
