No longer in the USA...Now the USS(R)A

Socialism...HERE WE COME!!!!

Corruption, poor judgement, poor character, and a genuine lack of leadership and foresight.

This, my friends, is the "Change we can believe in!"

So, let me get this straight.

Barry's new head honcho of the Treasury is Timothy Geithner. Geithner will be in charge of Obama's economic team and the US Treasury, which runs the Internal Revenue Service, the people who collect your taxes.

This despite the fact that Geithner is an admitted tax cheat.

Maybe you mess up once or even twice on your taxes. Maybe you miscalculate the amount owed. Maybe an audit catches your error. You work it out, pay your back-taxes and your penalties.

This guy, the new head of the Treasury and the IRS, made an 'honest' mistake for FOUR YEARS. A FOUR YEAR mistake. You or I make the mistake, we have to take out a loan, if we can, to pay off the penalties, let alone the interest and the actual principal of the taxes owed. This guy gets a big time job in charge of the same entity he failed to pay for 4 years. On top of it all, he had no intentions, as he admitted to Congress, to pay those taxes until he did, approximately one week prior to accepting the nomination.

Even the old KKK Klansman Robert C. Byrd admitted in a statement, "Had he not been nominated for treasury secretary, it's doubtful that he would have ever paid these taxes."

Not only this, but this guy has direct links to money that was doled out in the first half of the "Bailout" from October. And we know how well that has worked.

Yet he flies through confirmation quicker than the flush of a toilet...which is the general direction that this new Change is taking us.

How much corruption and greed and inappropriateness is this country going to overlook? Where is the outrage?

We freak out when an executive earns a large bonus in a company who's money is being spent irresponsibly. Yet no one panics when our elected officials waste billions upon billions of OUR dollars.

Where is the outrage over the mismanagement of our country?

Obama is surrounding himself with the epitome of corruption, poor leadership, poor ethics, and lack of caring for our country's future.

We have a corrupt tax evader in charge of the treasury...kind of like a pedophile as a kindergarten teacher...Joe Biden runs his gums about everyone's patriotic duty to pay higher taxes, yet his administration hires someone who evaded taxes for FOUR years. Does this mean that Geithner is not a patriot? By Biden's definition, appearantly Geithner is not a patriot.

Why is it only a few conservative/libertarian commentators and a relative handful of conservative bloggers notice a pattern to Obama's politics and allies?

Reverend Wright- Anti-American and racist, divisive comments from the pulpit.

Father Flager- Racist, sexist, and divisive comments from the same pulpit from which Wright preached and to which Obama listened to for 20 years.

Tony Rezko- He is in jail for his real estate dealings. He and Obama worked out a very questionable/odd real estate deal in Chicago. Property changed hands at below market values and switched back at forth between the two. Rezko and Obama worked together on Chicago projects for low income housing, all of which are failed, boarded up, and crumbling...millions of tax dollars wasting in inner city Chicago.

William Ayers- Obama lent his name and standing to write a blurb on the cover jacket of Ayers' book. Our President supported the work and writing of a terrorist who still propagandizes anti-American rhetoric, only now in the form of a Professor instead of terrorist leader. Process this thought: Obama endorsed a man who helped orchestrate domestic terrorism...So, Osama Bin Laden and Barack Hussein Obama have something in common: THEY BOTH HAVE CLOSELY WORKED WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE ATTACKED AMERICANS! Think about that...

Rod Blagojevic- Rod and Barry campaigned for each other. Rohm Emmanuel has been an emmissary of Obama to speak with Blago about many things, including Obama's former Senate seat. Blago and Obama have spent time working together, and to the extent of their dealings related to the Senate seat, we may never know. However, if one looks at the kind of people Obama is friendly with, it is easy to speculate.

Timothy Geithner- For four years, this financial whiz kid FAILED TO PAY TAXES on his idependent contractor job with the International Monetary Fund, despite recieving numerous prompts from the IMF and the IRS to pay those taxes. Even staunch liberal "Big Daddy" Robert Byrd admits Geithner would not have paid these taxes had he not been tapped to lead the treasury. And now he is in charge of the IRS...no wonder he had to pay no penalties. Interesting...

Yes, my friends, this is CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

Historic Day...Just how historic?

There is not a channel available on my TV that is not covering the events going on in Washington, DC, today. I am boycotting TV, radio, and news websites. I prefer to talk about it right here, and nowhere else.

Martin Luther King, Jr., I think, in my humble opinion, would be proud of what is happening today, but also would feel saddened.

The Reverend Dr. King preached on "content of character" and not getting ahead by "color of skin." He would celebrate that an important part of Americans have not only earned the right to vote, but have a representative in the White House. I think Dr. King would love that idea...and would love to see how far the Civil Rights Movement progressed. Then, at the same time, he would ache for the thought that President Barack Obama won because of his color, not so much the content of his character.

My case in point comes from one simple question I have asked several people, both on the left and on the right, about our new President. I asked this simple query, to which everyone responded to the negative. The question: "Would Barack Obama have won the Presidency if he were white?" To a person, everyone said, "no."

As soon as Obama spoke at the DNC in 2004 and became somewhat of a household name, there has been a movement within the media, the Hollywood left, and in the major metropolises of the United States. This movement was to get a black President, and Obama represented the best chance because he is articulate, charismatic, young, and, just for insurance, is half white.

No matter what the controversy, nothing could stick to Obama. His minister of 20 years is a zealot, bigot, and unpatriotic...from the pulpit! Doesn't matter. His political career took a major step in the living room of William Ayers, a man for whom Obama wrote an endorsement for Ayers' book. Doesn't matter. No investigation. Obama has business and real estate dealings with a now-convicted criminal who committed real estate fraud, Tony Rezko. Doesn't matter. It's in the past. Rod Blagojevic commits fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, and commit quid pro quo to sell a seat in the US Senate. Obama has spoken on the campaign trail for Blago, and vice versa. Rohm Emmanuel, a top advisor to Obama visits with and speaks with Blago on multiple occasions. Obama vehemently denies any advisors or emissaries had contact with Governor Balgojevic despite Rohm Emmanuel's contact with Blago. No one in the main stream media questions Obama on the inconsistency. Nothing sticks to this guy.

Time and time again, Obama is shown to have poor judgment in his associations. Yet, no one cared.

His character was shown in how he lied and changed his mind on the campaign finance issue, allowing him to accept record donations and outspend McCain on the campaign by more than $2 to $1. His voting record is suspect. His support of the military is suspect as he cannot give them an inkling of credit for the work they have done in Iraq. His grasp of right and wrong in the Russia-Georgia conflict was questionable at best.

His refusal to speak out when unfair, and often unethical and immoral, shots were being taken on his behalf against John McCain (ads making light of McCain's health and attacking the fact that McCain is a cancer survivor, pictures of McCain that were published by an magazine that demonized McCain with unflattering light that enhanced McCain's war scars and cancer scars) and Sarah Palin (attacking Bristol for being pregnant, attacks against the Palin family accusing Todd Palin of incestuous relationships with his daughters, questioning the legitimacy of Trigg Palin's birthrights) also raises a question, or two, about his character. Why not speak out when a 17-year-old girl is being attacked by his party and his supporters?

We know nothing for sure about this man, other than he talks well and is 50% black. But, the giddiness of the media and the lack of vetting done leaves this country wide-open for problems for the next four years. We do not know for sure what lies in this man's heart. The conclusions one can infer from his actions during this campaign lead one to believe that Dr. King's dream is not quite realized with this election.

I truly believe that this Inauguration is not about Dr. King, President Abraham Lincoln, or the end of racism. It is about how pop culture and the patronizing of black people by the left elected a young, inexperienced black person to the White House. Obama does not have the political capital to make change. He will be a puppet to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. The Democrats never do anything to help black people; they only talk a good game at election time. They helped a black man get into the Oval Office, but he is not strong enough to do this job on his own. Like with every other Democrat-based promotion of a minority to a position high on the food chain, there will be white masters calling the shots.

Barack Obama might prove me wrong. For the sake of my country, our troops overseas, and the future, I hope he does. However, until we can assess how well he performed his duties, stop the Abraham Lincoln and Dr. King talk. This man was NOT elected on content of character. He was elected because it was the cool thing to do this year.

Hopefully, America will make him earn his spot for re-election, and not give him another free pass in 2012.

Worst Economic Crisis Since the Great Depression...hmmm

First, let me admit and agree with the fact that the economy is in rough shape. Money is sitting still, business is drying up, and the end is no where in sight. It is a tough time with the wars, tough economy, and the devout division within our country. It is bad.

And the Messiah...the Chosen One...the One we have been waiting for...is all too happy to continually remind us how bad the economy is, with all the blame placed squarely on the shoulders of George W. Bush. 100% of the blame, and then some, is served in a heaping pile on the front steps of the White House, until Tuesday at noon, when it will be moved to Crawford, TX. No blame, whatsoever, on the people in charge of the House and Senate, who took power in 2006. Since 2006, when the Democrats won both Houses of Congress, we have seen the hugest economic downturn since the Great Depression. Yet, none of them have any blame to eat, just George W. Bush...and the Republicans...and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Not one Democrat has taken blame for anything. Well, except, Rod Blagojevic, but that is an entirely different, more fishy story.

But, I digress.

In huge economic strife, in a time where Obama promised more fiscal responsibility and to bring CHANGE to Washington, DC, a place he has worked off and on for 4 years with no such change being hinted at, Barack (Now you can call me) Hussein Obama is orchestrating an inauguration of such overindulgence, the whole situation is sickening.

For weeks leading up to and following the January 20, 2005, inauguration of President Bush for his second term, the mass media railed against Bush, Republicans, conservatives, Fox News, and anyone else they could possibly blame for the expense. In 2005, Bush's second inauguration hit around the $40-$50 million price tag. On the eve of Bush's second inauguration, "ABC’s Web site pleaded for tips of “any military funerals for Iraq war casualties scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 20.” Sure enough, then-ABC anchor Peter Jennings got his wish to report how “just about the time the president was speaking, there was a funeral for a young Marine reservist: 21-year-old Matthew Holloway was killed in Iraq last week by a roadside bomb.” (Thanks to Rich Noyes of NewsBusters.org and his blog dated January 15, 2009 "Media Reality Check: The Media’s Inauguration Day Double Standards")

There is an undoubted, no-longer-secret double standard with the media's handling of Liberals versus Conservatives. And, sadly, Conservatives are being drowned out because so many "moderate Conservatives" are being used as liberal puppets on TV and radio.

With the power of the media and no one willing to stand up to Obama's ridiculous cult following, Obama is going to get off without a hitch the most expensive, extravagant, lavish inauguration in history.

Bush's second swearing cost was railed against for $40-$50 million. No one will rail against the $150 million being spent on Obama. No one will step in and ask why Bush had to declare a state of emergency to make sure the event could happen as planned. Federal Funds are being used under this state of emergency declaration, and event NEVER BEFORE SEEN.

And no one says a word.

No one on the left bats an eye.

No one on in the media raises and eyebrow.

Conservatives...we must get off our laurels and fix our country!

First Post of the New Year

Yeah, okay. I've been bitter and sad that we have an Obama-nation as president as of 12pm on Tuesday. I've been sulking and not writing. I've been wondering what is wrong with us.

On Tuesday, the Rock star that would be God, if only the Democrats allowed God into the Government, Barack Hussein (Yes, we can say it now!!) Obama will be sworn in as President. He becomes the first black president of these United States, and does so with no real qualifications other than the fact that he is 'articulate' and 'intelligent,' especially considering he is black...you know, the one feature about him that they would not let you forget.

Nearly every person this man is associated with is dirty on some level. Governor Richardson could not accept his post for some shady campaign situations. The man he taps to lead the Treasury and the IRS failed to pay his taxes on his Independent Contractor job, right up until he was nominated to run the organization he owed 6 years of back-taxes to.

Yet, Chris Matthews and the entire mass media have tingly feelings up their legs when they hear his name. They will sell out home and country to make sure that they protect him from his own foolishness and inexperience. In the next 4 years, the United States could collapse into total ruin, and the New York Times and NBC will still be blaming Bush, with zero blame on Obama.

It will be a tough four years for Conservatism. Republicans are flocking to be the next to reach across the aisle and get some media love by making positive and supportive statements about Obama. He organized this big dinner with 'conservatives' (which, in this case, means a few people not so far left they are falling off the edge who are actually just left of center to just about right of center). People are drinking the kool-aid in mass.

Where are the Conservative leaders? I think 2009-2010 should be two years in which there should emerge a third party. I feel that Republicans have allowed themselves to be hoodwinked into becoming moderate Democrats. We need a new, Conservative party. We need people like Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, George Allen, Jeb Bush, Governor Pawlenty, and many of the like, to all join together.

Washington is broken. The media is broken. Even the one-time conservative safe-haven of Fox News is becoming slightly more left than it once was. There are still conservatives there, but the left is creeping in day by day.

America is a Conservative country. In national elections, where Conservatism is strongly represented on the ballots, American Conservatism answers the election call in immense quantities.

Conservatism is not dead...it is in exile. We let John McCain take the Republican Party to the left. We let the White House and the Congress go to the Left. We need to regroup, reorganize, and win back the Houses in 2010. Then, we need to keep pushing, fighting, clawing, scraping, and standing up for our beliefs and win back the White House in 2012.

It is time, now, to start preparing to fight the media, Obama-ites, and the apathetic masses who only listen to the 5 second soundbites on NBC. We need to bring Conservatism back to our Government...

And we need to do so before the Government buys everything.

Oh, and by the way, to anyone who buys the myth of Global Warming...why is it so freaking COLD in America right now?

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.
