The Republican Party of Wood County is an all volunteer grassroots organization dedicated to promoting conservative Republican values in central Wisconsin.
Preside
nt Ronald Reagan said, “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves”.
Government exists to protect individual freedoms and liberties. Limited government is a fundamental belief of our party.
We believe that all people are equal in the eyes of God and should have equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity, regardless of race, creed, age, sex, and national origin.
Government is necessary to preserve a strong national defense, ensure individual liberties, provide a responsible economy, ensure justice, and to do jointly what would be too difficult for citizens to do separately. However, taxation that exceeds the necessary Constitutional functions of government erodes private ownership, decreases individual initiative, stifles the economy and mortgages the future of our children.
We enthusiastically support the bill of rights, a federal representative democracy, fair elections, and the sanctity of life.
Elections are won with the support of the grassroots and you are being heard. We need you to continue to be the voice of reason for our elected officials and the party as a whole. So we need your help. It takes volunteers like you to get the job done. Please visit our site, learn more about us, and join us as we make a difference.

President Reagan understood [the American desire for self-rule]. In his first inaugural address, he reminded us that “from time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?”

“You would think that a “liberal” is someone easygoing, embracing a live-and-let-live attitude. In reality, liberals tend to be huge control freaks — arrogantly thinking themselves compassionately and intellectually superior to us common folks. This makes them best-qualified to dictate how we should live our lives. Liberalism birthed political correctness, which seeks to control what we are permitted to think, say, and do.”

Big government’s appetite for taxes is insatiable. It will spend everything it is given and more. True, “starving the beast” has done little to reduce government spending. But feeding the beast is not likely to be more successful. In the end, the only thing that will actually kill the beast is killing the beast. That means actually cutting spending.

“The ideas that federal spending exploded under George W. Bush, that “Bush’s wars” account for our spending explosion, that Reaganism died with Reagan, and that we are on a spending binge that started decades ago are all nonsense.
Our current spending binge is a very recent phenomenon with a very specific starting point: the year Democrats started writing budgets (or continuing resolutions), compounded by Barack Obama’s inauguration.”

NEWT’S SCARLET LETTER
[S]ince the 2nd Mrs. Gingrich is now nursing her divorce-grudge in public, the public needs to remember just how it was that Marianne came to be the second wife of Newt Gingrich. She had an affair with him while he was still married to wife #1. Exactly so, dear readers. The second wife, now running to the press crying foul over Newt’s adultery, was his mistress (in an adulterous affair) before she became his wife.

“Liberalism nowadays may be the last great holdout of old-fashioned prejudice. By telling themselves they’re against group hatreds of all kinds, and dismissing their opponents’ arguments as nothing but bigotry in disguise, liberals grant themselves license to despise. They swear, mock, and hate with a clean conscience, never guessing they’re turning liberalism itself into an outpost of bigotry in reverse. The flip side of liberal guilt is this hidden license to hate.”
Stanley Kurtz, National Review Online, June 14, 2011
