Politics, Raising kids, being a wife and mother from a conservative perspective!
Author: Conservative Momma
Hi there guys and thank you for reading my blog!
Life is crazy busy right!? We often get so busy we forget to look up and look around. As a Christ follower, wife, momma of three, and small business owner life is already moving too fast!
A moment in my life that caused me to STOP, SLOW DOWN and LOOK UP, was when my dad ran for congress years ago. It was then I realized I had to start speaking up and speaking out about what happens in the world of politics, current events and culture...... and of course throw in a little satire when needed! ;)
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer
On February 26, 2015 the FCC passed a historic measure to regulate the internet. I wrote a blog on that day, addressing my deep concerns about this.
The current FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, announced last month that the agency would undo its 2015 Net Neutrality rules and I fully support this.
Below is the blog I wrote and my thoughts have not changed.
Today was an extremely significant day. Today is the day that our Freedom of Speech will begin to erode. The FCC today, approved sweeping regulations championed by President Obama on how Americans use and do business on the Internet aka net neutrality. Today….(though going under the radar)….will be a day that will make history.
Net Neutrality is posing as a friend…..but it is no friend of mine. Net Neutrality is said to provide an “even playing field” for the under dog….but I tell you it’s a matter of time before all Conservative talk becomes suffocated. So, what is ‘net neutrality?’ According to USA today:
“Net neutrality, or open Internet, is the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) should give consumers access to all legal content and applications on an equal basis, without favoring some sources or blocking others. It prohibits ISPs from charging content providers for speedier delivery of their content…
“It’s the end of the world!!!!” This is what I am hearing the Democrats say! Not One Democrat voted to allow Americans to keep more of their money in the tax bill that passed the Senate on Friday with a vote of 51-49! I have never seen such a total and complete tantrum thrown like this! These people are losing it because Americans are having their taxes cut.
The Media isn’t helping either! It’s beyond pathetic.
This bill doubles the standard deduction. Standardized deduction would almost double from $6,350 to over $12,000 for single filers, and $12,700 to $24,000 for married couples filing jointly. This means that the number of Americans who claim the standard deduction would likely go from 60 percent of all filers to 90 percent.
This bill slashes corporate taxes -we have one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world! This is why companies move their production and operations overseas -to avoid our insane corporate tax! This huge cut in corporate tax will create millions of jobs for the Middle Class.
Critics also fail to mention that the tax credit per child would INCREASE from $1,000 to $1,600.
The Democrats are saying the single mom working minimum wage would only get a $75 dollar tax credit , but the family making half a million gets $4,000 in tax credit. This sounds horrible right…..but the FACT is that single mom, is currently paying ALMOST NOTHING in taxes!
So enough of the drama. Want to find out how this new tax bill will impact you and your family? The Tax Plan Calculator created by Maxim Lott, who is a supervising producer at the John Stossel show on Fox Business and a writer for FoxNews.com, has created a calculator that allows you to find out the numbers for yourself.
All to often I am asked “can’t we all just get along?” My answer is no and here’s why.
I am a Conservative. When I say that, it means something. It is backed by an ideology and policies that I wholeheartedly believe in. Conservatism is not a “feeling,” it does not change.
Conservatism is the belief in a limited government. This is what our Founding Father’s believed in too. This was the whole point of our Constitution, to limit the role of Government overreach. Liberals like big government. They believe that the government knows better than the individual.
Conservatism is the belief that ALL LIFE is sacred and Must be protected. I am pro-life. I believe that a baby in the womb is LIFE, and science agrees. According to our 14th Amendment Life should/must be protected. I am a mom. I have carried three babies inside my womb. My babies were separate from me, though they briefly lived inside of me. They should be entitled to the same rights as you or me. Liberals believe that babies in the womb have no rights till they are born. Hillary Clinton: an unborn person has no constitutional rights.
Conservatism believes that the Second Amendment must be protected. The Government doesn’t give us our rights, they are inherently ours because we are Citizens of the United States of America. As a woman and a firearm owner, I can protect myself because that is my right. It is what equalizes me physically to a man when it comes down to self defense. Liberals believe that the Government needs to intervene on an Amendment that they have no claim to.
Our Founding Father’s were Christian Men. This nation was founded upon Judeo Christian Principles. When you study Christianity, the concept that the individual matters is key throughout Jesus’s teachings. In Luke 15:4, Jesus states “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?” Our country was founded upon INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. Our Constitutional was written around the biblical principles that the individual matters. Conservatism advocates for the individual’s right. We are a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy. In a Democracy the majority rules. In a Constitutional Republic the individual is protected from the majority through Constitutional Law. Today Liberal policies have morphed from Classic Liberalism (which is now Libertarian today) to Socialistic in nature. Socialism is an ideology/policies that advocate for a collective ownership. Production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Where there is Socialism, the Individuals voice is not heard and these policies in fact oppose the Constitution.
I believe that spending to get out of debt is absurd. Being Conservative means being fiscally Conservative and that is spending what you have, not spending what you don’t have hoping that somehow it’ll all turnaround. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. We have watched our Government spend spend spend….thinking that somehow it will all work out….this is why as a nation we are 20+trillion in debt. If you had massive credit card debt, do you keep spending- hoping that the credit card company will send you a letter saying…”hey it’s cool, you don’t have to pay us back?” THIS WOULD NEVER happen! Conservatism is in actuality common sense. Our government has driven us deeper and deeper into debt-at some point our creditors will want to collect! Liberals spend and take. They are opposed to tax cuts and advocate for government subsidies that we cannot afford, because we don’t have the money! The Government does not produce, it takes. It takes from the tax payer, and there are now more and more takers instead of givers -Over 45% of the population doesn’t contribute in taxes!
So simply put, this is why we can’t all get along.
Liberals vehemently oppose Conservative principles and they daily attack those that defend them.
Below is a video I shot a while back explaining “why I am Conservative.”

Did you know that there is a secret slush fund that law-makers in Congress draw from when they are accused of sexual misconduct?
Yes, this is happening. Since 1997, more than $17 million has been spent to cover these settlements! The largest number of settlements was 25, which occurred in 2007 with a settlement just over $4 million! There is also NO TRANSPARENCY! We have no idea who is being accused, who the accusers are, the specific amounts being paid out in these cases.
What is even more messed up is the accusers have to pay out of pocket on their own, while Congress has WE THE PEOPLE PAY! The accuser has to go through this long process which takes close to 180 days to complete. They are required to go through a four-step process by the Office of Compliance. The steps include: counseling, mediation, administrative hearing or civil action, and appeals. If you don’t properly follow the steps, your claim can be dropped.
My question is WHY are we paying for this? Why has it become totally common for people in power to abuse their power? For the love- does this not expose how insanely gross the swamp is!?? Ughhhhh….get rid of all of them!
Good news though -A bill put forth last Wednesday by Rep. Jackie Speier (a Democrat from Cali. Which I think this is the first time in a looooooong time I wholeheartedly support a bill proposed by a dem). This bill would do away with the non-disclosure agreements and make congressmen pay out of their own pocket and not ours! Good! There is NO REASON WHATSOEVER why we should be bailing these guys out!
Stay tuned…….

As I am putting away Fall decorations to get out Christmas decorations in my basement, I came across a box of wigs. My last two videos have entailed them, and I am not gonna lie, it was hard to keep a straight face when I had them on. They totally brought out my days of character acting and I gotta say….this could become a trend here at Conservative Momma.
I thought I’d share the last couple videos I shot, because I keep hearing my videos aren’t showing up on people’s feeds.
The first one addresses how “Third Wave Feminism AND Political Correctness have ruined dating.” I mean let’s be honest…..with all these sexual allegations taking place, the good guys I know, are terrified at this point to even talk to women!
and the second
“Your typical holiday meal.” Thanksgiving is over. Now we enter full blown holiday season, where if you are like me- you are going to be around people that vehemently disagree with you when it comes to politics. I had a distant relative write me and tell me I was “full of hate” so I had to throw that line into this video. My policy is – if I know I am around open minded people, I’ll talk politics….if not I don’t engage.
I want to thank all of you for reading, sharing and supporting this site.
