Grand Old Partisan: Whatever happened to Samantha Power?

June 20, 2011

Whatever happened to Samantha Power?

Whatever happened to Samantha Power? Once a media darling, the Irish-born Special Assistant to President Barack Obama has dropped from sight.

She remains, nonetheless, Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights at the National Security Council. The wife of Cass Sunstein, the Regulation Czar, she is still a highly influential advisor to Barack Obama.

Here is Power smirking at Jewish-Americans and calling for a military invasion of Israel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O5XxXm8wPE. Let's not forget that she is on the board of the International Crisis Group, funded by George Soros.

Whatever happened to Samantha Power? Whatever happened to her Responsibility to Protect doctrine? Obama's botched military intervention in Libya, that's what happened! She was the foremost advocate for "kinetic military action" against Libyan government forces. And now, the president is claiming that, despite a congressional deadline, the War Powers Act cannot prevent him from continuing his R2P bombing attacks in Libya.

The conservative punditry should not allow Samantha Power to slink away to (a well-paid, influential) oblivion within the administration. She must resign.

Michael Zak is a popular speaker to Republican organizations around the country. Back to Basics for the Republican Party is his acclaimed history of the GOP, cited by Clarence Thomas in a Supreme Court decision. He is also the author of the 2005 Republican Freedom Calendar. His Grand Old Partisan website celebrates more than fifteen decades of Republican heroes and heroics. See www.grandoldpartisan.com for more information.

Back to Basics for the Republican Party

"We need to promote Back to Basics for the Republican Party to every single proud Republican!!!!"
"Every precinct committeeman, every candidate and every teacher with a Republican affiliation should read this book and pass it on to another."
"Michael Zak takes a novel approach to the culture wars by boldly boasting the historical record of the Republican Party. Rather then sheepishly bow to the Democrat's ongoing myths (and frequently, outright lies) about the GOP, he brings the history and heroes of the Republican Party into the fray."
“Why is it that we Republicans are so easily outmaneuvered by Democrats?
Why do Republicans so readily fight among themselves?
Why is it so difficult for Republicans to advance their policy agenda?
Here's why."
Back to Basics for the Republican Party
“The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The Founding Fathers knew a government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. So we have come to a time for choosing.”
Ronald Reagan

Speech Raves

"Your words at the Lincoln Day dinner were truly inspiring. Thank you so much for your dedicated work and contributions to our Party."
"Your book is outstanding, and it's nice to have the information come alive during your presentation. You are at once informative and motivating. We've got to get back to basics -- as you say."
"Thank you for speaking at the luncheon. I've already received many favorable comments. You're absolutely right that the Republican leadership should know our party's history."
"Thanks for all that you do for the Republican Party and our Nation."
“Your speech was great and just what some of us depressed Republicans needed. The GOP has taken its eye off of the major issue: freedom v. socialism. You spoke to the core of that issue.”
“Thank you so much for speaking at the state convention. We received wonderful feedback from everyone in attendance. Everyone was impressed with the depth and breadth of your knowledge, as well as your clear speaking style and sense of humor. You made an outstanding presentation, and we are deeply grateful to you for your efforts.”
“You have a great vision and hope for the Party, and I think you are embarking on important work.”
“Thank you so much for speaking at our event. You are offering a tremendous service not only to Republicans, but also to the United States and the world.”

Book Reviews

Read it and MEMORIZE it!
"My copy is dog-eared with notes and underlined parts. “Back to Basics for the Republican Party has been tremendously helpful setting mis-educated Democrats straight on history!"
It's a fantatic buy!
“Back to Basics for the Republican Party is very informative and gives you an insight into the history of the party from the early days to the modern day presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. What the author has done is provide a balanced view, giving the reader a fascinating 150-year journey of the Republicans. This book is a REAL political page turner which will open minds to a wealth of knowledge and history which most are not even aware of.
“Back to Basics for the Republican Party is the most significant contribution to the Republican Party in the last twenty years apart from Ronald Reagan.”
“This is the most amazing book about politics that I have ever read. The Overview should be required reading for anyone with even a minor interest in government. The remainder is an enthralling history lesson that I will never forget. For years, we have all been misled about the true nature of the GOP. This is the real deal! Read it and be proud!”
“Back to Basics for the Republican Party is more important to our party now than ever before.”
"one of the best books I ever read" – Senator Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL)
“Your book, Back to Basics for the Republican Party, is most timely during this 2010 pre-election period. It is a message that needs to be emphasized to all grassroots activists. From the precinct, county, district and national levels your respected views need to be heard and read on how to take back our country.”
from the first page: “Democrats control most of the media, but they also write most of the history books, thereby controlling what even Republican activists think they know about our Party's glorious heritage.”
