I think former Alabama Supreme Court Judge Roy Moore is not
just a conservative, but an iconoclast of the first order. Twice elected to
Alabama’s Supreme Court, he refused to bow down to political correctness or
judicial tyranny. He was first removed from the bench for refusing to remove
the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Supreme Court House.  I am a New Covenant man, but I believe that
the Ten Commandments still belong in our court houses. Alabamians did not care,
and they re-elected Moore to the Supreme Court. When the hard-core natural
rights conservative refused to honor the corrupt, anti-judicial gay marriage
decision in 2015, Moore was removed a second time.
So what?
Moore has the forthright courage to declare on national
television to the petulant Chris Cuomo that our rights come from God, not from
the government. The fact that the New York Son of a … Bad Governor doesn’t know
the fundamental values of our country prove how ignorant, arrogant, and out of
touch our media have become. Armed and ready at a moment’s notice (ask his
wife!), Moore is a great man, and he would make a great US Senator for the
State of Alabama.
But he is not my first choice to replace the admirable, estimable
Jeff Sessions, who now serves as our consummate Attorney General. We need
someone who is not Mitch McConnell’s pick to replace Sessions in the US Senate.
We need someone who has been the outsider since Day One–who will win.
I want to see more conservatives in the US Senate, so I want
Congressman Mo Brooks.
Why?
He is an outspoken Trump supporter. Yes, that’s good. But
there’s more. He wants to repeal Obamacare. So much so, that he submitted a
one-line bill to the House of Representatives which simply stated “The
Affordable Care Act is now henceforth repealed.” Pretty simply, don’t you
think? A bill that can be read in one sitting, as opposed to the telephone
book-sized pieces of legislation.
He supports the Second Amendment without reserve. He opposes
the crony Export-Import Bank, a slush fund which benefits big business with our
taxpayer dollars, while small businesses must fund loans for themselves. He and
fellow US Senator Richard Shelby would be a masterful team fighting against DC
Corruption. But the biggest reason I support Brooks over Moore? He vocally
opposes McConnell, demanding that he step down as Majority Leader. Senator
Brooks will be one confirmed vote against the weak-kneed, pro-crony,
liberal-leaning Majority Leader, who refuses to lead, who refuses to ensure
passage of Trump’s—of our—agenda.
Now, who is McConnell’s pick? Former Alabama Attorney General
Luther Strange, who has been tight-lipped about President Trump. Strange was
investigating former Alabama Governor Richard Bentley, who resigned in
disgrace, but not before he appointed Strange to replace Sessions. What a
strange idea—and it reeks of corruption. Strange has got to go just for that!
If Brooks wins the special election, McConnell faces a
massive blow to his DC pre-eminence, which will trigger snap resignations and
new elections.  We all want to “Ditch
Mitch” right? Then we need to shake up who gets elected to the upper chamber. The
Majority leader is an elected office, too, but we do not elect him (or her). Whether
I like it or not, the Majority Leader or Speaker has a distinct set of
constituents: his fellow US Senators.
Want to change the majority leader? We need to change the
people whom he represents. We need the most anti-Establishment Republicans winning
seats in the United States Senate. Sorry to break your hearts, people, but
draining the swamp means more than one election. It means an attitude
adjustment from us, and more conservative victories across the country. That’s
why I support Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel’s bid to unseat out-of-place
regressive leftist Sherrod Brown. That’s why I want Ted Cruz to not only win
re-election, but take on a much needed leadership role in the US Senate,
whether his colleagues like him or not. And that’s why I want Mo Brooks (and
Judge Roy Moore) to make it into the Alabama special election run-off.
McConnell knows that Establishment-tinged Beltway connections
are hurting his picked candidates like a belt slapping a wayward child. So, he’s
resorted to smearing outsider Republicans as corrupt insiders who misuse public
funds and enrich family members with government largesse. In 2016, in the
Indiana US Senate race, McConnell tapped Todd Young as the replacement, even
though Marlin Stutzman was the conservative outsider. McConnell and Co. issued
misleading and well-placed campaign smears against Stutzman, and Todd Young now
goes along with Mitch McConnell.
Now some conservatives worry about direct primary
challenges. Will attacking Republicans in otherwise safe seats give Democrats
more opportunities, which had occurred in 2012 with Todd Akin or Richard
Mourdock? I think they should shake those fears off. Four years later, one of
the most unlikely, most politically incorrect, most media-demonized candidates
won the highest office in the land. Since then, the corrupt liberal media has
been so expertly marginalized by the Trump Administration, which no one cares
what they or their corporate media sponsors have to say. All those
anti-conservative smears will fall on deaf ears.
If we want to Make America Great Again, we need to Make
Washington DC Small Again, and that means getting rid of the crony Wall
Street-Big Business-Big Amnesty phalanx which has overrun the Beltway, pulling
the strings of legislative leaders like Mitch McConnell. Primary challenges
fought on conservative activists’ own terms is the way to go. President Trump
has the grassroots, conservative counter-culture heartbeat We the People have
long yearned for. Now let’s put it to work.

Let’s elect “Mo” conservatives to the US Senate. I endorse
Mo Brooks for US Senate, and I urge everyone who is able to donate to
his campaign
(full disclosure—I have donated to the Senate
Conservatives Fund
precisely because I want to end the non-conservative
Republican leadership hindering Trump’s and our agenda in Washington DC).
