Joe The Plumber

Wow. An average American asks a sensible, intelligent question, and now he is being investigated like the baseball steroid scandal.

Joe the Plumber simply wanted to know more about Barack Obama's tax plan. The question revolved around the $250K cap that Obama has set forth as the milestone that determines the wealthy, and the ensuing effects that it would have on small business owners who bring in $250K and up.

Barack Obama's response was straight out of the socialists' playbook. He wants to redistribute the wealth. Spreading the wealth is a good thing, he said.

Joe Biden, Obama's gaff-machine running mate (Stand up, Chuck!), thinks it is patriotic to pay more taxes.

Bottom line, Obama-Biden is going to raise taxes. Joe the Plumber wanted more specifics. He wanted to understand. He is an everyday American, working everyday hours, paying everyday bills. He just sought some piece of mind as November 4, approached.

Instead, he was told, by Obama's own words, that Obama-Biden is nota Democratic ticket...it is a wealth-redistributing, tax-raising Socialist ticket.

And the media, save for Fox News, is all over it. They are dissecting everything about the man. They are looking into what he said, what he has done, and what he is all about. They are finally going after this man and trying to discredit him at every turn.

Oh, no, not Obama. They are going after the plumber.

That will teach him to ask questions of the Messiah!!!

About Me...And This Blog Site...

My name is David A. Ebert, the oldest of two siblings produced by my parents, Leah and David G. Ebert. We are all Republicans, but I take it a toke or two...well, closer to 10 tokes...further than my parents,

I am very much a Right Wing Conservative. I am a Reagan Conservative. I believe Americans, in general, are smarter than elected officials in Washington, DC. We should be more in charge than the Government.

We, as individuals and families, should have more responsibility over our own, hard-earned money and not send more and more and more taxes to the out-of-touch politicians. I believe the government is there to serve us, and not us to serve them.

I believe in America's greatness and that, overall, we are the most generous, forgiving, intelligent, and genuinely decent country in the world. I also believe that we are the most powerful nation in the history of the world, but do not use that power to hold over the collective heads of other nations.

I believe that low taxes, intelligent spending of those tax revenues, strong initiatives on defense and education, and small government influence on the day-to-day lives of Americans are some of the most important ideals related to how the US should be operated.I believe in the freedoms granted by the US Constitution. I believe that judges should uphold and interpret the laws as written in the US Constitution, and not refer to any foreign legislation to make their historic decisions.

I believe the First Amendment, as well as the entire Bill of Rights, are the most important laws this world has ever seen.

I believe abortion is WRONG. I believe that homosexuality is WRONG. I believe that allowing anyone to publicly debate the possibility of lowering the age of consent, especially for young boys to consent to older men, is a tragedy of morality. I believe that organizations like NAMBLA should be publicly shunned and not given a platform to spew their harmful and dangerous rhetoric.

I believe there is a sad lacking in the ability of our nation to appreciate and accept self responsibility. We, as a nation, blame daddy, racism, sexism, classism, mommy, the mean teacher, the mean little league coach, the loud mouthed uncle, the financial status of the neighborhood in which we grew up in, and a million and one other reasons why we do not succeed. How often do we, as a nation, take the blame for our own mistakes? How often do you hear someone accept responsibility for their own mistakes? How often?

I am conservative. I am worried about the future of the country and the planet, especially if O-BOMB-A or Billary Clinton make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I will start posting my fears, my hopes, my ideas as they all relate to news and politics. I hope to open some eyes and change some opinions with my writings. Most of all, I hope you will read my words and be inspired to find the truth...and not rely on Chris Matthews or Keith Olberman or Katie Couric or Matt Lauer for your opinions. I hope you will break the mold and do something unreal...unexpected...do something that O-BOMB-A and Billary are afraid of you doing...

THINK FOR YOURSELF.
