Do most conservatives even know what they believe? I don’t think they really do and I’m certain very few could articulate those beliefs in any meaningful way. In fact, I’m not sure 1-in-10 Americans can truly be considered authentic conservatives, the philosophy that originated with the American Revolution and was cemented by Thomas Jefferson. 

A man who is supporting Delbert Hosemann for Lt Governor, and is a backer of State Senator Jeremy England, threatened a Chris McDaniel supporter with physical violence:

Delbert Hosemann has continued to lie about his involvement with an abortion clinic in Jackson, the South Jackson Woman’s Clinic. He has maintained throughout the campaign that no abortions were performed at the clinic while he was Vice President and Director.

However, this evening I spoke with a lady, who wishes to remain anonymous, but told me that she was offered an abortion at the clinic in 1979, the very time frame of Delbert’s involvement.

I’ve known Chris McDaniel all of my life. He and I are both from Ellisville. Although he is a little older than me, we grew up together, went to the same schools, competed in the same church basketball league. He was a superstar at the game, by the way, and I … wasn’t. And my team always lost to his. 

One century ago, on August 2, 1923, President Warren G. Harding’s life came to a sudden end. But over the course of the next 100 years, many Americans have come to see the 29^th President as one of the worst chief executives the nation has ever had. 

Why do candidates sling mud at their opponents? And worse, why do they repeatedly tell lies and falsehoods they know aren’t true? Just like their refusal to debate their opponents, mudslinging emanates from fear, a desperate attempt to hide the truth from the people. 

Such tactics, which honest voters detest, stem from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, a leftwing playbook that Alinsky actually dedicated to Lucifer. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it,” Alinsky advised. State Senator Chad McMahan seems to have read it.

A century ago, on August 2, 1923, President Warren Harding was lying in bed in a San Francisco hotel room recovering from what doctors suspected was a heart attack. The President had been traveling across much of the country since June in what was called a “Voyage of Understanding.” He had traveled as far as Alaska, the first President to visit America’s northernmost territory, and was making his way down the West Coast when he fell ill.

You know a campaign is in the final throes of existence when an avalanche of mudslinging and outright lies come forth in a torrent during the final days. Delbert Hosemann’s floundering campaign for Lt. Governor is on life-support it seems. They are truly desperate.

Delbert Hosemann claims to be a “Reagan guy.” But would a true “Reagan guy” go after a real conservative leader and ruin their career? Of course not. But Delbert Hosemann is not a true “Reagan guy,” his rhetoric to the contrary. Only a liberal Democrat would do such a dastardly thing. But that’s exactly what Delbert the Democrat did to one of the Mississippi Senate’s most conservative members. 

Pseudo. It’s a word with a clear, definite meaning: “False.” “Insincere.” “Not genuine.” And it’s a perfect word to describe Delbert Hosemann and his career in politics. He consistently refers to himself as a conservative and even a “Reagan guy.” But when the mask is removed he is shown to be far from either one. In fact, in bygone days, Hosemann would have been seen quite clearly as a Scalawag.
