2011 Wrap up, 2012 Preview...

It’s been a long time since I’ve actually put out a complete blog. I have spent a lot of time resorting to Tweets and Facebook updates. However, as we wrap up 2011, I want to discuss the coming election year and the importance of conservatives uniting and standing on principles.

In 2011, the GOP establishment continued to miss the point of the 2010 elections and what the Tea Party and conservative mandate meant. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have both been incredible let-downs in leadership. I have felt betrayed and disappointed in the Republican Party in 2011. If we want a chance at real change in 2012, some attitudes will need to change, some spines will need to stiffen, and some leaders will need to stand up.

The debt ceiling debacle was a colossal failure. There is no way the government collapses if the ceiling is hit. Perhaps some services will need to be temporarily closed, but there is a monthly income of approximately $392 BILLION. The President of the United States and the US Treasury Department have sole discretion over how monies are spent should there be an uncovered portion of the budget and Congress has not given authorization for additional borrowing. Therefore, boys and girls, had the GOP stood strong and fought to the bitter end for real spending cuts, not gotten it, and the debt ceiling had been reached, Obama and his Treasury guru Timothy Geithner would have to decide how to spend the $392 BILLION. So, if they opted not to send Social Security checks or checks to the military, it would have been Obama’s responsibility and choice to do that. Yet, instead of getting that message, you know, the TRUTH out, the GOP buckled. For some reason, Boehner and the GOP establishment just don’t get it. They still think giving in to the left will somehow garner favor and fairness from the mainstream media and Obama himself. Not going to happen.

The GOP is still dying for a leader who will step up and lead and not buckle to pressure. The stakes are too high now for us to continue to be weak in the knees. ObamaCare will, in fact, destroy what’s left of our healthcare system. Health Care needs REAL reform, and not a bunch of bureaucracy that will put government between people who need care and the doctors they want to see. ObamaCare is making it harder for insurance companies to be viable. It is designed to force insurance companies out of business, thus forcing a need for a “public” system. Which is just an awesome idea. Look how well the government can deliver mail on time, or how profitable Amtrak has become, or how well the VA system meets the health needs of all veterans. The government cannot get FEMA trailers into New Orleans for weeks after a hurricane they knew about 6 days ahead of time. Yet we want them to take over health care and life and death decisions? Really?

Health Care needs reform. Lawyers have too much power and influence the cost of health care more than anything else. Yet, because most of the Democratic Party is run by lawyers, no one dared address lawsuit abuse in the health care bill. The GOP needs to fight and make the repeal of this travesty the number one priority on January 20, 2013. Second priority is the repeal of Dodd-Frank. Third priority is to open the way for the pipeline from Canada to the gulf. Getting those three priorities accomplished would do wonders for the economy. Here’s how…
Repealing ObamaCare will release billions of dollars in bureaucracy off the backs of businesses, big and small. Even if the company tries to save some money by dropping coverage and paying the fine, they would still be paying people to deal with the red tape and bureaucracy to pay those fines. Now, without that burden, they could afford to recruit and retain the best people for their company. With the best people performing and content with their jobs, their productivity improves, the company improves, and more jobs can be created. Not to mention the thousands of people who work for insurance companies whose jobs would really be saved (as opposed to the fictitious saved or created jobs we keep hearing about.).

Dodd-Frank is terrible law. It makes banking, seeking loans, and anything financial excruciatingly painful, especially if you are a small business. Dodd-Frank is killing jobs on a daily basis. Banks are laying people off in 2011 to get ready for policies within Dodd-Frank that take effect over the next two years. Dodd-Frank is bad law, not to mention it’s complete lack of reform to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (of course having nothing to do with those two failed institutions undying and exorbitant financial backing of Democrat candidates, particularly Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and Barack Obama). The repeal of Dodd-Frank will alleviate the immense pressure being brought to bear on the business community. If it’s easier to operate, it’s easier to produce, it’s easier to create profit, and then it’s easier to grow and hire.

President Obama is holding 20,000, jobs hostage until after the 2012 elections. The Keystone pipeline, by itself, would create a buzz in the American economy. This pipeline would run from Canada to Texas. It would create a minimum of 20,000 jobs. It would lead to a lessening of America’s dependence on Middle Eastern oil. American construction technology would make it one of the safest pipelines in the world. We have a so many pipelines in the harsh conditions of Alaska. Does anyone know the last time one of them burst? Wouldn’t building in the mid-west be far less risky? Yet, despite already recorded and reported environmental studies giving the pipeline the O.K., Obama is giving in to environmentalist wackos and holding these jobs and economic buzz hostage for political reasons.

So, when a Republican is sworn in on January 20, 2013, authorizing the pipeline would open the proverbial floodgates to some economic improvement in the nation. On Monday, July 28, 2008, George W. Bush announced the lifting of the executive moratorium on the harvesting of oil shale in the western US. That day…THAT DAY…gas prices dropped. Gas prices dropped all the way through the election. Gas was $1.85 when Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009. $1.85. Just think how fast prices would drop again with the announcement that we’re going to give ourselves access to more Canadian oil that’s cheaper.

Think…how much better would your holidays have been if you were paying under $2/gallon at the pump?

As I look at the field of GOP Candidates, I am slightly disappointed. Instead of running against Obama, they have taken to tearing each other down. I have not chosen a candidate out of the remaining field. My pick was Herman Cain. However, the hatred of a black conservative was too much for him to put his family through. And that is a shame. Lies and baseless accusations can prevent a black conservative from running for office. Had Cain been a liberal, the women making the accusations would have been vilified as racists and had their worst, darkest secrets exposed on the mainstream media.

However, out of the field remaining, I wish Rick Santorum would gain more traction. Romney and Gingrich leave me slightly uneasy. Their records suggest they are prone to some of the problems I have with Boehner and McConnell in the Congress. They seem vulnerable to giving in and getting weak-kneed when pressured by the media and liberals in Washington. Michelle Bachmann is great in the House, but she does not have the strength or delivery in presentation to defeat Obama. Ron Paul is a crazy, hapless hack. When he is lucid, he makes some sense on domestic economic issues. Foreign policy, however, is his weakness and, if elected to the White House, would spark the third world war, while we sit at home and wait for the evil of the world to come calling. As for Huntsman, his daughters are very pretty, but that’s the only thing he’s brought worthwhile to the campaign. That being said, I do not want this guy anywhere near the GOP Convention next fall. He is NOT conservative. He is barely Republican.

So, of the field, my endorsement at this time goes to Santorum. He is the real conservative leader in the pack, no matter how much Charles Krauthammer or the other pundits in conservative media want to bury him and pretend he’s not a candidate. However, because, for whatever reason, he is not getting the traction he needs, I think thanks in no small part to Fox News burying everyone BUT Romney and Gingrich, I will probably go with writing in Gingrich on my Virginia ballot.

Nonetheless, whoever gets the GOP nomination will need to step up and lead. He or she will need to absorb the slings and arrows from the left. He or she will have to stick to their principles. If they stand up, run against Obama and his failed policies, hammer home the idea that Obama had all three branches of government under his control until January 2011, when the GOP took the House (thus getting through everything he really wanted to), and showing how America is worse off than it was in 2008, we can win a Republican Supermajority and get rid of ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, and clear the way for the Keystone pipeline. Those three agenda items would set the foundation for a revived economy…if only the GOP has the intestinal fortitude to do it.

And they say the Tea Party is all about hate....

So, being the type of person I am, I joined a left-wing propaganda group on Facebook. This particular group was railing against a joke going around on the Internet. The joke goes as follows:
DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN
It is meant to be funny. There is no hate, bigotry, or malice intended. It's supposed to be funny. It is not a legit prayer asking for a real death or demise for President Barack Hussein Obama. It is a joke. End of story.

Let us not forget the shuddering silence that followed plays and books that fantasized about the untimely death of George W. Bush. There was unbridled hate and vitriol aimed at Bush and Dick Cheney for eight years, and it came from the media, from entertainers, from bloggers, and not just wild fringe elements. Yet, because the elites deemed conservatives and Republicans as less than human, any kind of attack was allowed and welcomed.

(WASHINGTON POST STORY ABOUT BOOK ABOUT BUSH ASSASSINATION)

I joined this Facebook group full of liberal sheep who see Obama as a deity and not a human. It is a group calling for the deletion and banning of a group who uses the above joke as the group title. These liberal whiners claim its racist, bigoted, and evil. (The same brand of people who laugh when Trigg Palin is made fun of on Family Guy or when Todd Palin is accused of being sexually involved with his daughters...ironic, huh? I joined in order to offer a chance for real debate on this issue and the double standard in how people react to how liberals and how Conservatives are treated.

I debated one particular individual who called himself Luis Stevens Guerrero. I offered merit-based, fact-based arguments. He resorted to name-calling, insults, and constant degradation against me and all Conservatives. I told him that his last name, Guerrero, means warrior, and its a shame he cannot be a warrior for his own beliefs and defend how he feels. His responses directly to me were ignorant, weak, and childish. I accused him of coming to a battle of wits unarmed. End of argument, or so I thought.

Luis Stevens Guerrero decided to go to my profile and find out who my mom is. He then proceeds to send the following e-mail message to my mother:

You should have aborted David.

Cheers

Thus is the typical garbage as spewed by a vast majority of the left.

Need more? Let's look at Obama ally Bertha Lewis, the head of ACORN. She spoke to a group of young Democratic Socialists, applauded them as being socialists, and then compared anyone who opposes socialism to the racists and bigots who believed in segregation, internments, and other great racial travesties. She then called the TEA Party movement a "bowel movement."

How about the lies that democratic senators told the media about being called the "N" word during the Tea Party protests outside the Capitol prior to the health care vote. No video nor audio evidence has been produced, even with Andrew Breitbart's $100K bounty for such evidence, to support the claims. Yet, the media and anyone on the left continues the narrative accusing the Tea Party of being racist.

The left cannot defeat the Tea Party on facts and reason, so they result to hate. They result to name calling. They result to writing to mothers of conservatives to tell that innocent mother that she should have aborted her conservative child.

The left is truly a class act.

Imagine...

Imagine...
Going to work and sitting at your desk, upset the boss just passed you up for a promotion. You're gonna have to stay late today and miss your daughter's dance recital. Suddenly, you are thrown five city blocks in the air. You never knew what hit you.

Imagine...
Sitting in your office and you are in complete disbelief. You cannot leave your building. The skyscraper you are in is on fire. The building is shaking. Word you are getting is that the stairs and elevators are all blocked with fired and debris. The heat is building. There is no escape. There will be no rescue. Do you wait to die? Or do you jump. You see others pass your window. You ask God's forgiveness as you take control of the one thing left in your power.

Imagine...
Storming to your cubicle. You had just had a major fight with your husband. You both said some mean, hurtful things. You sit in your ergonomic chair and silently, deep in your mind and soul, you take minor comfort knowing that you guys will be able to kiss and make up at 5:30 tonight at dinner. A flash of light and glass, your life is over.

Imagine...
Running the halls of the Pentagon to an important meeting. Something is developing in New York City that is going to have a drastic impact on National Security. You stumble on the loose corner of a rug, you curse the rug, look up as the wall to your right crushes your body. The last thing you smell is burning wood and scorched concrete.

Imagine...
Waking up, trying to regain your bearings. A second ago, you were at the watercooler talking about the new college football season. You think Florida State is going to make a run at it, but your buddy said his money was on USC. Now, the room is dark. Your buddy isn't anywhere in sight. You realize people are beating you with coats and pillows. You then realize the pain coming from your back and arms. You are covered in flaming jet fuel. You scream in pain before you fall into shock, then die.

Imagine...
Responding to the mass confusion of two planes flying into the World Trade Center. There are no elevators. No word on the conditions of the stairwells. All you want to do is get to the fires and help the people. You grab your 80 pounds of gear and climb the 80 flights of stairs...1 grueling flight per minute. You hear another series of explosions. Has another plane hit?! You never hear the answer as the floor above you lands on your skull.

Imagine...
Trying to organize batallions and companies of firefighters from the ground. These men are your responsibility. You send them up the towering inferno. The first tower collapses, you dive into a stairwell. When the dust starts to clear, a man who is a friend and the chaplain to the entire fire department lies next to you, dead.

Imagine...
Sitting on a flight to the west coast. Suddenly, men have taken over the plane. They have killed one person with a boxcutter. They have taken the cockpit and are now flying the plane to a new destination, or, more appropriately, target. You and others get in contact with people on the ground. This plane, appearantly, is the fourth in a targeted attack on America and innocent civilians. You don't know of the horrors of people burning alive in the Twin Towers...You only know what the inevitable has now become, and what you must do about it. You follow the lead of four men, one of whom yells, "Let's Roll." A short fight occurs in the cockpit. The plane loses control, turns over, and crashes into the ground. You knew going into the cockpit, these murderous scum had already determined that you and everyone else was going to die. So, you and the others aboard determined the how and when and took back some control.

Imagine...
That you had been in the Twin Towers or the Pentagon or Flight 93. That your life was taken by murderous, evil scum of the Earth that took part in killing 3000+ innocent civilians. Imagine that you were taken in an instant, without chance to say sorry for your wrongs, to make up for the mistakes you made with loved ones, or to just meet your life's potential. Imagine, even worse, you suffered and died in the fires and smoke in the aftermath of the plane crashes. You felt your flesh melt under the heat of the jet fuel. Imagine the pain and shock of knowing you were going to die and there was nothing you could do. Imagine the horrors of 9/11/01, and you were destined to become one of the many faces on the memorial walls dedicated to the victims of the attacks.

Imagine...

Now, Imagine...
A large, loud-mouth portion of the country takes your death and uses it for political gain. They accuse the President of knowing and covering up the fact that the US Government knew, and quite possibly took part in, the acts that killed you.

Imagine...
An entire political party wants to give the same people that helped planned the attacks access to US Courts and the US Constitution. From the new President through both houses of Congress, there are those that want to offer full rights and privileges to the same group of people who trained to kill you. That the new President wants to move the terrorist scum from an off-shore military base to on-shore, US federal prisons, with full access to legal representation, full Miranda Rights, and full Constitutional protection.

Imagine...
The new President and his party attacking and distracting the efforts of intelligence agencies on a daily basis. That party uses the newspapers to discredit and attack these intelligence agencies for scaring or causing discomfort to people that have information that could be used to save more people from your fate.

Imagine...
A President and his party requiring US Soldiers to hesitate everytime they arrest or even engage with an enemy. Instead of trying to protect themselves from dying on the battlefield, they have to worry about what a Democratic senator will say about them if they kill an enemy. They have to worry about some politician calling for a full trial if you kill someone who poses a threat. They have to offer Miranda Rights to terrorists they capture on the battlefield.

Imagine...
The new President refusing to call the groups that are responsible for your death "terrorists." And he doesn't call it a "war on terror," but some sort of contingency plan. The new President apologizes to unfriendly nations for how America defended itself.

Imagine...
Eight years after your death, your death is memorialized by the new President as a call to community service. Instead of calling for a restrengthening of our pursuit of Bin Laden and al Qeada and preventing more terrorist attacks on US soil, the President says America should go out and pick up litter on the highway or other such community service. He in effect dismisses your sacrifice and your murder by saying 9-11 is a day of service.

Imagine...
You are looking down on the current administration and the party in power. Are you feeling forgotten? Are you feeling disgraced? Do you think you and the 3000 other men, women, and children who died on 9-11-01 are being memorialized appropriately and with respect?

Ah, I Get it Now...The REAL 1st Amendment

Amendment I:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

See, it is there, plain as day. The First Amendment, the first clause of the Bill of Rights. The language of those days was unclear. We, on the conservative side, take the words as they appear on the document. How foolish! We need to take off the blinders and see what the Constitution REALLY says.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
We conservatives have believed that freedom of religion at face value. Now, though, I have seen the light! What it REALLY says, is that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, but the courts at the behest of special interests may rule against the free exercise thereof, especially if the religion in question preaches love, morals, forgiveness, and redemption. People are free to practice archaic religions like Christianity and Judaism, as long as no one is around to see it. Islam, Scientology, Voodoo, Buddism, and atheism are all protected and must be respected in all areas, public and private. It would be racist and prejudice to restrict these religions from being practiced in public forums." All this time, I never knew that the freedom of religion was so specific! My eyes are finally open. Those darn Christians with their oppressive messages and indoctrinations by offering a simple blessing of food! I am so glad the Constitution clearly lays out the restriction of such practices so we can put these ruthless people in jail!

"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech."
Of course, this protects people burning Bibles, the American flag, George W. Bush and other conservatives in effigy, and other peaceful and constructive manners of protest. It also protects perverts like Larry Flynt to promote the degradation of women and positive ideals of immorality and indecency. However, this freedom of speech does not give Americans the right to speak against a democrat administration. It does not give Americans the right to disagree with democrats in congress. It does not give Americans the right to speak against a health care plan that no one knows the full details about. Why, speaking against democrats is divisive and dangerous. Speaking against the health care bill is immoral and fear mongering. People who speak against people like Obama are racists and evil people who need to be stopped. Those type of people must be stopped and must be reported to flag@whitehouse.org! "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, but the courts and the media can attack, discredit, and scrounge your personal life for dirt and embarrassing fact, or even rumors, or even flat out lies, to destroy you should you question, oppose, or try to debate any liberal government official, member of Congress, or member of the democrat administration."

"Congress shall make no law...abridging...the freedom of the press."
Here again, when you have the dangerous voice of opposition, such as a more central leaning network like Fox News Network, that legitimately offers both sides of each story, they must be destroyed. Again, Congress does not have to do the dirty work. The President of the United States will attack the network and its anchors himself. Other parties in the world of media. Papers of record like the New York Times and legendary broadcast networks like NBC and their spin-off cable networks team up to attack any dissenting opinion or spin in the world of media. Congress, however, has listened to and seriously contemplated the "Fairness Doctrine," but only for the conservative wasteland of talk radio. The government, already known for its lack of bias and ability to be completely, blindly fair, will decide, under the fairness doctrine, whether a radio broadcast is giving equal time to all sides of an issue. The fairness doctrine will ignore the broadcast networks like NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and Comedy Central, and rightfully so! "Congress shall make no law...abridging...the freedom of press, unless it congress sees a need to mute voices of dangerous opposition."

"Congress shall make no law...abridging...the right of the people to peaceably assemble."
Exactly! Look at the peaceful, constructive, spontaneous assemblies of groups like ACORN, SEIU, Planned Parenthood, unions, and other liberal groups. If a conservative happens to get in the way and oppose their views, a courteous curb stomping is in order and perfectly leagal because guns were not involved, thus keeping it peaceable. Now, conservatives, on the other hand, are fear-mongers and wear Brooks Brothers clothing to violently assemble. Why, their hand-written signs scare 11-year-old girls on their way to see President Obama speak! Hand-written signs at a conservative demonstration are more dangerous than all the guns in the world! That poor 11-year-old girl with her pre-written question that was chosen at random, who just so happened to be the daughter of that state's leader of the Obama '08 campaign (What an amazing coincidence!), had to see people with mean signs. The HUMANITY! While Congress has made no law to restrict the dangerous conservative assemblies, but the peaceful, thoughtful liberals have taken things in their own hands. It's okay to peacefully jump a voice of opposition. It's within constitutional protections to throw a pie in the face of a conservative speaker. It's okay to peacefully threaten bank operators who do not want to play by liberal rules. It's okay for liberals like Bill Ayers to bomb US properties and be a part of a group that torched the home of an NYC police officer. They were all peaceful assemblies protecting liberal ideals, which, of course, are the only safe, peaceful ideals that America can survive with.

"Congress shall make no law...abridging...the right of the people...to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
The ACLU and other liberal interest groups, most all funded by George Soros, have proven this freedom is alive and well. However, because of the obstructionism of the conservative right, these poor groups cannot go through congress to make the changes they want happen. Instead, they petition the courts to enact legislative change. Whenever there is a grievance, liberals know that consrvatives will prevent the grievance from being addressed legislatively. So, they sue. Sue again. Sue again and again and again until they reach the liberal bastian of the US Supreme Court. Liberal also use the media to petition the government for a redress of their greivances when there is a Republican in the White House. The media petitions, through their journalistic ways, a Republican President, putting him on trial for everything that liberals deem wrong. However, this right is not granted conservatives. Again, conservatism is dangerous, divisive, insensitive, and just plain mean. Conservatives have no right to question their senators or president on such petty issues as why our nation is spending money that isn't printed yet, why we are entering the largest debt in the history of the planet, why bills are being pushed through so fast that the last pages are smeared because the ink isn't dry, and why the president is appointing czars left and right to positions of unchecked power. How dare conservatives question a man of such unflappable integrity! "Congress shall make no law...abridging...the right of the people...to petition the government for a redress of grievances, except when the liberal movement is in power, because they are all nice people who want to provide everything the government can to the people who they tell are too weak to get it on their own. This right is restricted from conservatives who will use it to divide the country and attack the people in power that we all should trust and take at their word, no matter what."

See? Now that I have explained the REAL first amendment, doesn't it make sense? Don't you see that Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the liberal left are only using the US Constitution to help? Thank God for Obama and the left!

False Outrage to cover-up Bad Policy

$180 Billion to AIG.

That is $180,000,000,000, of our money given to AIG.

That is enough to give every American man, woman, and child about $500 each.

And the only outrage is over $165 million?

Look at the math. $165 million is only about 9% of the entire $185 billion given to AIG.

Where is the other 91%?

Some of it, ranging in the BILLIONS, went to foreign and European banks. American tax payer dollars intended to help AIG restructure and re-solidify were sent to European banks. And AIG is still in danger of failing.

And we are worried about $165 million going to Americans.

How ironic.

Why are not outraged at the failed policies that allowed this economic crisis to occur?

Why no outrage that a company needs to be bailed out with nearly a quarter a trillion dollars?

Instead, let's attack some money that Americans are receiving. While it its very discouraging to see these bonuses paid to employees of a failed company, the bonuses are likely the cheapest way out of the mess. These bonuses are contractually obligated. Failure to pay them would result in more bailout dollars being spend to cover for the obligatory lawsuits.

My outrage is the distraction caused by our Teleprompter President. B.O. has been picking fights with Rush Limbaugh, using quotes from John McCain's campaign, and throwing tax-payer funded galas at the White House. All the while, he has allowed and encouraged Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to run wild with the American tax payers' credit card.

My outrage is that Democrats like Chuck Schumer can go out there, without hesitation or remorse, and claim to want to tax these AIG bonuses at rates up to 90% or higher.

Can you see the precedent set by that? Isn't that a violation of the illegal search and seizure clauses in the US Constitution? You know, the Fourth Amendment to the document that is supposed to be the foundation of how our country is run.

Although the Supreme Court has eroded the US Constitution over the last 70 years, the US Constitution is still the basis for our nation.

The Fourth Amendment states:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

While the usual connotation of this Amendment refers to legal matters in which the American citizen is protected from warrant-less searches and seizures in criminal matters, I do submit that this clause also applies here to the searching out of people who received these bonuses, and then the announcement by Chuck Schumer that there is the chance the Government will tax, or seize, 90% or more of these bonuses.

Isn't it a violation of rights to seek out one class or group of people, find out their names and what their contractual bonus is, and then, based on the information found in that search, which occurred without a legal warrant, to intentionally tax/seize those dollars on the limited scope with only one group of 73 people?

Isn't it illegal, or at the very least, unethical, to come out and say that the US Government is considering taxing to eliminate these bonuses?

If it does go through, and these 73 AIG employees are taxed to oblivion to recoup these dollars, can you see the precedent it sets?

Yeah, roll your eyes and claim I am just creating a slippery slope. But, you also dismissed a lot of slippery slope scenarios when we tried warning you about Obama and his left-wing, big-government, big spending agenda. Just hear me out.

The precedent set by the idea that the US Government can reach into the pockets of select citizens because they received an unpopular bonus, where would it stop? Would this money-hungry government reach into the pockets of gas company execs and tax/seize their bonuses?

OK, who cares about gas execs? Right? They're rich, greedy, and deserve to be taxed to oblivion.

Let's say a group of teachers earn attendance bonuses for not missing a day in the 180-day school year. However, they are in an area that traditionally does not do well on state and other standardized tests. Can the government reach into their pockets and take back some of their money?

Does it only stop at bonuses? Will they raise taxes on unpopular people's salaries?

Our US Government is broken. It is out of control. The Democrats are spending the money of Americans who will not be born for 3 generations.

When will it end? When will you stand up and speak your mind? When will you take it upon yourself to say, "I am an American, and my government works for me, and not the other way around!"? When will America unite and fire these power-hungry, money-hungry buffoons?

When, America? When?

Where is Ronald Reagan? We need him more than ever...

Traversing the expansive volumes of videos uploaded on YouTube.com, I decided to see what the libraries had to offer in regards to a man that, in my opinion, and that of many Conservatives, served his country with more class, nobility, passion, and love of country than any other President in history.

I am talking of one Ronald Wilson Reagan.

The former actor turned Governor of California turned American Icon and President.

Conservatives didn't use slanted media propaganda to elect Reagan. Americans did not turn onto supposed journalists to hear them claim to have "tingly" feelings going up his leg when the name of the man was mentioned. We did not need our President to go and have a Beatle-mania reception in Germany for him to seem just popular enough to elect.

President Ronald Reagan depended only on his desire to serve. He wore his heart on his sleeve, and that heart bled red, white, and blue. Reagan loved his country and his greatest desire, other than spending his life with the only being he loved more than America, and a near tie with God Almighty Himself, Nancy, was to leave America better than he and his generation found it.

Reagan spoke with a pure, unadulterated love; a deep, inspiring love of country. His word were his own, mostly, definitely more than most presidents. He did not use his position and podium to bash, attack, or smear political adversaries. He simply spoke of the American dream, the future of the country, and the betterment of America and Americans.

We don't get that today. We haven't had that for a while. President George W. Bush was a let down in that regard in his lame duck years. He drifted left at the end, seemingly beaten down by political adversaries that attacked relentlessly everything he did for 6 1/2 years. If he sneezed, it was too loud. He coughed, the didn't properly use and dispose of a tissue. He spent less than $10 million on putting together his second inaugural, and he was brutally assaulted for wastine money (although Obama didn't really get much grief for his $150 million bash....hmmm).

President Barack Obama does not speak a positive word in the way Reagan did. Obama, who usually speaks negatively about anything and everything nowadays, does speak of hope and change, but he does not love his country the way Reagan did. President Clinton was the same way. When Democrats speak about America, they do not have the same emotionally-charged, deep-seeded, heart-breaking love and adoration of our country.

Please watch this video that I borrowed from YouTube.com. Listen and watch the eyes of President Reagan, and then ask yourself if you can match that enthusiasm and love for America. Can you?

Did you cry for the people on 9-11? Did you bounce between anger, rage, and uncontrollable sobbing for the people and for the fact that your country...your home...was just sucker-punched? Did you get pissed off that 3,000 of your American brothers and sisters were murdered?

Are you still pissed off about 9-11?

Are you pissed that Russia and Germany not loyally supporting our War on Terror, despite the billions in aide they recieve?

Are you heart-broken over the shape our country has taken?

Are you upset that judicial activism is ursurping the powers of the Executive and Legislative branches? That the Supreme Court has manipulated and successfully destroyed the functionality of the Checks and Balances?

Do you love America? Do you love freedom? Do you believe in the innate goodness of the American spirit and people?

If you have doubts, watch this video. Watch more Reagan YouTube.com videos. See if you are inspired. If you open your mind and heart, I am sure you will.

The Deciet (and Deficit) of Panic and Fear Mongering

The Dems, who have been in control of Congress since early 2007, right before things started to tank economically, have done nothing but spread fear, panic, and emotional depression about the American economy. President Barack Obama keeps hammering home the point that he believes the current economic situation is a mirror image of the Great Depression.

Their constant fear mongering and pessimism is creating a vicious cycle that does nothing but worsen the situation. The pessimism leads to more fear, and mass populations do not work well with fear. And the Democrats are shoving through this pork-filled, wasteful, irresponsible, and damaging Stimulus Package.

The bill is over 1,100 pages long. It was written, approved in committee, passed in the House of Representatives, passed in the Senate, and on Barack Obama's desk within about 48 hours. It took approximately 24 hours to get it forced through the House.

1,100 pages of bureaucratic language and spending.

1,100.

How long would it take you to read 1,100 pages? This blog usually takes up the equivalent of 2-3 pages per posting. I am estimating you spend in upwards of 10 minutes reading it. Ok, so let's do some math.

If it takes you 10 minutes to read 3 pages, which is roughly 3 minutes per page, and you were able to keep that pace for the length of the bill, you would spend about 3,300, minutes reading this bill. That is 55 hours of non-stop reading. The bill was passed in less than half of that time in the House of Representatives.

In the House of Representatives, 246 people voted for this massive bill without having read the thing. 246 Representatives took Obama and Pelosi's word and voted on the largest bill in the history of the United States without knowing what they were voting for. They authorized a bill that will end up costing over $1 TRILLION, with interest, with only the assurances that one might get from a shady used car salesman.

"No, no no! This car is hot! If you don't sign now, someone might steal it from you!! You don't have to read the warranty. I promise it will all work out. Sign now. Oh, no, the engine and transmission is fine. I promise! You don't need 24 hours to think it over. Come on, you can trust me. Ok?"

And 246 people signed for the car. Perhaps the car is ok. Perhaps it is a lemon. Perhaps the un-read warranty strictly states that the warranty is only good as long as the car remains on the lot? Still yet, 246 people signed for this bill. In less than 24 hours of its completion.

In your life time, how often does not reading the warranty information, or the contract information, work out for the person signing it? How often does not reading the fine print work out for the consumer? How often does a rushed long-term commitment work? How often do drive-through weddings work?

Yet, we, the American taxpayer (obviously dis-including anyone in the Obama administration, whom do not pay taxes unless caught and publicly outed) are now saddled with footing the cost of this bill. It was crammed through Capitol Hill and down our throats by a group of people who had not read it through.

This, my friends, is the Democrat party. Reckless spending with no responsibility or forethought. This is the Democrat party. Got a problem? Let's throw money at it.

If you are ever on a plane with a bunch of Democrats, and the plane has a similar fate to US Airways Flight 1549, you'd never make the Hudson River. Instead, when the first engine went out, they would reach into your pockets, take the cash you had, ball it up, and throw it at the engine. When engine two went out, they'd reach deeper in your pockets and throw more money at the first engine. This is the Democrat way.

Perhaps this nightmare will be over during the first week of November 2010.

The Hypocracy of the Left

The left is so hypocritical, and they do not hide it anymore, it is sad that there are intelligent Americans who still buy the bull.

President George W. Bush suffered an onslaught of personal, professional, and family-related attacks in the days immediately preceding his inauguration. The onslaught still continues today, even as the dream majority of the Democratic party is in charge. The Dems have had the House of Representatives and the Senate since the beginning of 2007. They now have the White House.

What is the first thing they do with their power? Force America to swallow a $780+ BILLION package of pork, earmarks, and waste full and inappropriate spending. This "stimulus" package is full of earmarks such as pool improvements for schools in Connecticut, water slide improvements in Providence, RI, and Frisbee golf courses in California.

There are very few job-creating efforts in this Pork Pet Project Package. There are very few stimulating effects, just ask Obama's own economic whiz kids. This stimulus package is nothing more than re-election spending for 2012, which is the calendar year in which much of this package will actually take effect. So, through manipulation, bending the rules, cutting corners, out-right lying, and over-the-top fear mongering, Obama has just orchestrated the biggest heist of tax-payer money since the Democrats opened the coffers and started spending Social Security monies in the general budgetary funds.

Obama bold-faced lied to America when he said there are no earmarks in this bill. There are billions of dollars in wasteful federal spending. Some projects might be all well and good, however, this bill violated the sanctity of State versus Federal spending. There is now a very blurred, nearly invisible, line between State and Federal jurisdiction in funding, spending, and creating the funds needed for projects. Instead, this package spends billions of federal monies on projects that are strictly under state and local jurisdiction, and not up to the Federal Government to force the states to allow these projects to come into the individual states.

Most of this Pork Pet Project Package won't even take effect for over 24 months from the second it is signed into law. If this is an emergency; if we are in dire times on the brink of permanent, irreversible financial ruin; if we need this adrenaline shot into the economy TODAY; if we need it to effect now...why is this package full of spending projects that won't start for 2, 3, or 4 years?

By the way...isn't it amazing how much the economy tanked and the markets dropped within SECONDS of the announcement of the passing of this bill? If this package was so awesome...why isn't there a hint of a turnaround with the announcement that help is on the way? Why? Because this package will stimulate inflation, egos of the politicians for whom these porky projects will be named.

Chuck Schumer admitted there is pork in the bill. He said that the "chattering class," which I assume he is referring to right-wing bloggers and conservative commentators like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, are focusing on the "porky amendments," which are the addendums tacked on to the bill by individual Senators and Representatives. These amendments are the true definition of pork, earmarks, and irresponsible spending...the very things that President Obama has repeatedly LIED about not being in the stimulus package.

Obama lied...our economy died....

Republicans are the obstructionists? I think they are saving America.

The next time you reach for another bucket of blame to throw across any Republican in your immediate proximity, please take a moment.

Most everyone in America, including myself, will concede the point that the American and World economies are both in dire straights. Joblessness is climbing at an alarming rate. Businesses and corporations are all burning through cash just to keep the lights on. People are having to leave their homes. It is not a good time in America right now.

Add to that the fear-mongering of Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress, and the constant repetition of the negativity on the 24-hour news cycle, and you have a self-defeating attitude among the people of the planet, thus creating a vicious cycle of fear, dread, and a lack of confidence in the system. Things are bad, but the perception is a majority of our trouble.

So, we need a stimulus package to jump start the economy and provide the opportunity for new jobs, and old jobs to come back. We are in an emergency, so we need a package that takes effect now. Not in 2 years. And certainly not in four years.

We also do not need billions of dollars to go to Connecticut to repair high schools, water slides, and pools. However, that is exactly the type of pork, monetary mismanagement, and wish-list spending that this stimulus package is carrying.

More than half of this bill is scheduled to spend its money in over 2 years from the day it is signed into law. We all hope this recession is not going to last 2 years. This is an emergency bill and not a bill for long-term spending. Yet, that is exactly what we are getting. This is the "do-or-die" package Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are shoving down our throats, threatening anyone who dares question the bill as being unpatriotic, an obstructionist, and uncaring of the struggles of the everyday American.

If the bill is so great, and has so much positive effect, why can't we take a few more days to fine-tune and question it?

Just take a look at this video. It takes about 20 minutes. Yes, he is Republican. If you need to, ignore his party affiliation. Just listen to the items included in this emergency stimulus bill. Listen to the earmarks included in this bill. Just listen and try to reason to yourself how these expenditures will create long-term jobs, long-term recovery, and slow and stop the recession. Ask yourself.



So many of these earmarks are spending packages that are supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the local government. These are not federal funding issues. This is what we mean by bigger government. Federal money means federal rules means Washington, DC, will be in your backyard. Big Brother is watching...

European Socialism Spending Bill of 2009

Are you serious?

We are in a dire financial crisis, and the only answer we can come up with is this $800+ billion package?

This is an 'emergency' stimulus package, but the spending involved is chock-full of spending and pet projects, with little to no truly stimulating effects.

The only stimulation is the fact that the American taxpayer will be getting screwed by this bill for generations. Our grandchildren's butts will be aching if this goes through.

Where is the outrage? Why is the vast majority of Americans grabbing the ankles and smiling while chanting, "Change we can believe in!"?

Obama takes the podium to whine and complain about the massive debt and deficit that he found "wrapped in a giant red bow waiting for me in the Oval Office." Yet, all he does is push and cram down our throats this pork-saturated travesty.

There are billions of dollars in new spending in this bill. There are amendments that call for restabalizing of ATV trails. There is spending to modernize hospitals. There is spending to restore government buildings. There is funding to purchase hybrid vehicles for government fleets. There are whines and cries that Republicans do not want to spend $400 million on STD prevention. HOW IS THAT ECONOMIC STIMULUS???? These are the purchases and expendiatures that Obama is saying are necessary, or else we will go into a permanent, irreversible financial collapse?

They said Bush was a fear monger. But he talked about the need to fight and find and kill terrorists before they killed Americans. He talked about strategy to prevent crisis through logical means. He was not saying we need to spend $600 million on new hybrids or else our economy will be forever destroyed.

If we don't spend $1 trillion on a bunch of Democrats' pet projects, our economy will die. That is the message we are getting from Obama and his stuttering press secretary. (PLEASE NOTE: I have nothing against people who stutter or stammer, I am merely pointing out the fact that the mouthpiece...the very spokesman...for the Obama Administration falls into stammers and stutters and misspeaks the second he gets a direct question).

I hope Americans, especially those blinded-by-the-light, kool-aid drinking, worship at the altar of the lord god Obama Democrats, will take a step back and think. Why is there such a rush and panic to spend this money?

Why is there a rage anytime a piece of this bill is questioned? Why is the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party so infuriated that there is a call for some responsibility with this spending bill?

Sometimes you have to get a feeling like you are buying a used car from the slickest, smoothest-talking used car salesman in the world.

"No, its a beauty, isn't it? Sign it now, and you can look at this thing when you get it home. Go ahead, sign the papers now so you can get it. Otherwise, the other customer might come back and steal it from you. No, you don't need to think about it. No, you don't need to look under the hood. No, you don't need a CarFax. Come on, sign it. If you don't sign it now, you could lose this car, and this car is perfect for you. Come on, sign these papers. No, you know you want the car, no questions asked, right?"

Would you sign the papers for that car?

Then why do you sign on for this crazy, tragic, destructive bill?

This is NOT a stimulus bill...it is a welfare spending bill. It is a vote-buying bill full of earmarks and favors. There are so few jobs that this bill will creat. Please, for the sake of our country, do your own research. Find out what is in this bill for yourself.

Then, just remind yourself who has been in power in the governing body that creates budgets and spending since early 2007...and remember this as we approach the mid-terms in 2010. Remember that this is a primarily Democrat-created bill. Only 3 Republicans have signed on to this stimulus package.

It has been a while...My Apologies...

For the last 3 weeks or so, I have been sulking, politically, and busy, professionally, thus preventing more of my words of mediocrity from appearing on this blog site. I apologize to my hundreds of readers for my delays in getting back to you, both on here, and through the many emails you have sent.

So, let me recap what has gone on since I last posted.

We are gearing up for a new Clinton administration, a third term for Bill and Hillary's people. Barack even admitted that he was intentionally hiring former Clinton people because he wanted experienced people on his staff. However, with Hillary the most likely Secretary of State, and Bill publicly stating interest in a job in the president-elect's cabinet, America is entering into the 1990's all over again. Higher taxes are on the way! Oh, and in bad news for the economy, this Clinton regime will not have the internet boom fall into its collective lap this time around.

Congress, with their 59 Democrats in the Senate, is spending like there is no tomorrow. Since some of our Republican friends thought that acting like a Democrat and spending more than we have was how to get re-elected, we have no one left to fight for spending control. Except when it comes to the military. They are all for gutting the military...similar to what happened 10 minutes after Bill took office in 1993. Then, for 8 years, our weakened military was unable to fight off terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, two US Embassies in Africa, and the USS Cole. (The same military and defense cuts led to our vulnerability to the 9-11 attacks.)

Everyone from the city of Chicago (fully under the impression of the buddy-boy network now that their puppet is the president-elect), to the state of Cahl-EEE-foh-nee-yah; from the mom and pop candy store to the biggest automakers in the United States; are all asking...or, begging...for a big slice of the open flood of money from Washington. It is downright sad. There is such a panic over the economy, 99% of which is exacerbated by the 24-hour, repetitive news cycle, that everyone is making a run on any money they can get their paws on, no one taking a moment to really think of where this money is coming from, or what the price is going to be in the long run.

The one bright spot of the 2008 elections, well, the one successful bright spot, if you will, was Saxby Chambliss fending off the millions of Obama-aid send to Georgia to reclaim his seat in the Senate, thus preventing the filibuster-prof majority for the Democrats. Saxby will be looked to for leadership and strength, as he is one of the few Republicans to be able to return to Washington in January. Saxby won by double-digit margins, thus preventing a drawn-out, lawsuit-filled holiday season, as there would assuredly be suit after suit after suit should the polls have been withing 5 points. So, Saxby Chambliss is the one hero that Republicans can look to for the next couple of years. He fought the "Obama-mania media" and the Liberals from NYC to LA to win back his seat.

Next, I want to address the pseudo-controversy surrounding Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. His comments about Janet Napolitano, Obama's pick to head Homeland Security. The same media who criticized Sarah Palin for having 5 kids is now attacking Rendell for his comments. He made a comment, that was unknowingly picked up by a nearby live mic, that said that since Napolitano does not have a family, she is a great pick for the job, because she can devote 19-20 hours a day to the job. To me, Rendell was only repeating the logic that many used to attack Sarah Palin. Now they are upset at this logic? In addition, this comment was not sexist, as many are purporting to be. The quote was, "Janet's perfect for that job. Because for that job, you have to have no life. Janet has no family. Perfect. She can devote, literally, 19-20 hours a day to it." The only reference to her gender came in the form of pronouns used instead of her name. There was no reference to her gender other than that. It just goes to show how sensitive and ready to pounce people are today. Everyone is looking for a reason to get mad at someone.

Previously in this piece, I referred to Chambliss as the 'one successful brightspot' in this year's campaign cycle. There can be arguments as to how successful she was, but the fact is she did not get elected. And I do blame her running mate as much as I do the left-wing media that actively campaigned for her opponents. I am talking, of course, about the "breath of fresh air," Governor Sarah Palin. She was the bright spot to outshine all bright spots. She, and she alone, carried John McCain to a lead in September. Then the financial crisis hit, and then the media put the blame solely on the Bush Administration, and that proved to be too much for even the bright-eyed, intelligent, strong Conservative leader Palin.

However, I do believe that Sarah Palin may well repeat her own Modus Operondai come 2012. If you know much about her, you know that before winning the Governorship, Palin did lose a bid to become Lieutenant Governor her first time around. So, perhaps, in 2012, it is time for her to take a step up, much as she did in Alaska. A Palin-Romney ticket sounds great to me. Or, perhaps, Sarah Palin-General David Petraeus ticket? Okay, I am stretching it there, but Petraeus has climbed about as high as anyone can in the military. In four years, he may want to climb to a higher office.

It has been a hard month to swallow. It sickens me how much of a rock star our president-elect is. He is not a leader. He was not elected to be a leader. He is simply installing Clinton Administration 2.0, then going around talking good. However, Saxby Chambliss helped America avoid sheer disaster, and may just be enough for us to limp to the 2010 mid-terms, where I hope people like Sarah Palin are the face of the party, and not these middle of the road phonies who think Republicans need to lean left, instead of the Democrats leaning from the FAR FAR FAR left toward the center.

I am hopeful.

I do want to add that I had a lot of ground to cover in this piece, and I did not want to include the Black Friday tragedies and the India Terrorist Attacks in with this litany of commentary. I will discuss those events in coming blogs. Thank you for your time!

100th POST!!!! Making the Case Against Barack Obama

Today, I will address the current ideals surrounding the state of affairs in the Presidential Election. I think that this election is very important, and I think far too many Americans are taking this very nonchalantly and not truly vetting their choice.

First thing I want to address is the accusation of negativity. Why is it that McCain's negative ads are all people remember? No one remembers that Obama attacks McCain, also, as much as possible. The fact is, there are no radical associations or dangerous decisions that McCain has made that would warrant an attack ad. Instead, people like Barbara Walters and Joy Behar on The View, people on CNN, MSNBC, and hundreds of "I am rich, so listen to my opinion as if it were the Gospel" Hollywood buffoons constantly hint at McCain's age as being a factor. MSNBC allowed an ad to run that attacked McCain's skin cancer scare of a few years ago. Democratic politicians come out and accuse McCain of being racist and comparing him to George Wallace.

Yet, only Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly condemn those attacks. Obama would not even distance himself from the comparisons made between McCain and Wallace. McCain gave Obama the chance at the last debate, but Obama decided, instead, as always, to point the finger at McCain and the right wing. Obama knows McCain is not racist, yet Obama refused to set the record straight. He refuses to go against his party.

Yet, McCain rips the mic away from a supporter for trying to insult Barack Obama and call him a Muslim...he grabbed the mic away and corrected her, on the spot, without pause. But Barack Obama cannot set the record straight on the racism allegations made by his own party's elected officials? And McCain is the negative one?

Now, the left wingers are having a field day with the cost of Sarah Palin's new campaign wardrobe. They scoff at it's estimated $150K price tag. They attack her as being a phony and an elitist. They say she is not in touch with the middle class as she says she is. They attack her for getting a new wardrobe for the campaign trail.

Has there ever been a question about how much Obama's or Biden's, or even McCain's, suits cost? Has there ever been a question about any other candidate's wardrobe costs? No.

This is a sexist attack by the left. Palin did not go shopping and send a bill to the RNC. The RNC bought the wardrobe for her. She is giving the wardrobe to charity once she is done with it.

How is the cost of a wardrobe for the campaign trail a viable issue for the election? If it can be used to smear a Republican, by gosh, its fair game!

As far as the attack ads coming from the Republicans, all McCain and the Right Wing have done is do what the media should...ask questions about Obama's history. If I had no risk of anyone looking into my past and fully vetting me out, I could say anything that people wanted to hear just to get elected.

My biggest problem with Obama are the holes in his history (he is the first modern-day candidate NOT to release his birth certificate...and we know nothing, cannot even find his senior thesis, about his college years other than the fact that he went there..), and the fact that time and time again, he has to distance himself or clarify himself where it relates to important people in his life, past and or present.

The Ayers questions are valid. Ayers' living room was the launch pad for Obama's political career. That is a FACT. Ayers may have been a terrorist when Obama was 8, but he still preaches, under the guise of college professor, much of the same anti-American and anti-government propaganda as he did then. In 2001, Ayers claimed in the New York Times that he and the Weather Underground had done more...eerily, the comments were published on 9-11-01. Obama wrote a blurb for Ayers' book. You don't put your name on someone else's work unless you trust them and know them...or are a complete naive buffoon...and, in either case, as it relates to a man who preaches the outrageous ideals Ayers preaches, it shows a lack of ability and readiness to lead a nation.

As for Reverend Wright, you cannot spend 20 years in the pews of a church with a pastor you do not agree with. You do not let a preacher who spews hatred and racism and anti-Americanism from the pulpit marry you and baptize your children, unless you somewhat agree with him.

Let me ask you this...

If John McCain had spent any significant time in the same room, even if it was a coincidental passing in a hotel lobby, as Tim McVeigh or Ted Kazynski (Una bomber), would he race be close today?

If John McCain had spent just 5 years in a church the featured a preacher who even once made reference to race, or to the fact that America's chickens where coming home to roost in reference to the 9-11 attacks, where would this Presidential race be?

If McCain had similar connections to radical ideals and thoughts like Obama does...would the race be nearly this close?

Next, why is everyone so bent on the idea that Sarah Palin is inexperienced and unqualified? She has executive experience, unlike any of the 3 men on the ballot. She has run a town and a state. She has had to make executive decisions that determine people's future. She has not been part of a decision-making body where your decisions get lost in the shuffle, like Congress. Besides, she is the second on the ticket...not the first.

If you want to talk about her inexperience, why, then is it unfair to question Obama's? I cannot remember whom of my respondents said it, but the idea that questioning what Obama has done and has not done was not constructive. Yet, questioning Palin, who has more experience as a leader than Obama, is fair game.

Obama's political career to the White House includes no major accomplishments, other than speaking well enough to get elected to a new office. He has not had a news-worthy battle for a bill or ideal. He has gone with his party without much resistance. He has only disagreed with George Bush...never has taken a stance against his own party. What has he really done to prove he is ready to lead from day one? He cannot even be a leader in his own party.

Obama does not have the experience or the mettle to lead from day one. Even his running mate said that the world knows that Obama is not ready...they are going to take advantage of Obama's inexperience. There will be a new crisis once Obama takes office...meaning that our enemies know he is not ready.

The question, then, is, who is going to get hurt because of this world-wide perception of Obama's weakness? Can we afford to find out?

What WE have to do...

The fact of the matter is, the nation is divided.

Over the last 6 years, since Democrats stopped being pro-American and being pro-Democrat, the liberals in the media and in elected office have been attacking American unity. They were courteous enough to shut up for a few months post-9/11, but then they saw opportunity.

They saw a chance to seize power by attacking every policy of the Bush anti-terrorism initiative. They attacked out troops. They accused American troops of torture, murdering civilians, pillaging villages, and generally being poor-class and fighting dirty. Our fighting men and women have been attacked, insulted, berated, and accused of unthinkable war crimes....BY OUR OWN CONGRESS AND LEADERS!

It is sad that our enemies have used the words of our own elected officials as recruiting materials and as anti-American propaganda. Our troops are entering greater and greater danger in Afghanistan, as they were in Iraq pre-McCain-supported troop surge, because of the propaganda provided by AMERICAN DEMOCRATS.

Remember, post-Vietnam, NO CONSERVATIVE...NO REPUBLICAN...stood in lines to spit on and attack our troops returning from war. No CONSERVATIVE has ever given anti-American fodder for the recruiting propaganda of terrorist enemies.

So, since early 2002, less than half a year since the worst attack on American soil, DEMOCRATS have been attacking everything in sight to divide the country and fortify that division. The sides are almost irreparably divided; in fact scarily so.

The point being, there is nearly zero chance that we can change the minds of the Obama-maniacs who drank the kool-aid served by the media and Obama himself. We cannot get liberals or Democrats to drop their blind love and devotion to Obama. It is not going to happen.

So, how do we keep the White House and, possibly, reverse the growing liberal power in Congress?

VOTE.

We, the American conservatives, we must VOTE.

VOTE!

Tell people who and why we are voting for.

We must VOTE!

The media is spinning the early voter turnout as a trend for an Obama slaughter of McCain. They are popping champaign in the offices of NBC and CNN, already claiming Democrat victory and a new Super Majority in Washington, DC.

We have to show them how wrong they are. America is an overall conservative nation. We have to get our conservative majority motivated and out to the polls.

Whether we win or lose, we have to go down with a fight. We have to go down swinging, if it is in the cards for ACORN's tactics to win, we cannot sit idly by and guarentee a default victory for Obama.

We need to vote. Make our voices heard! We need to fight until the end of voting.

In the words of the immortal Coach Jim Valvano, "Never give up. Don't ever give up"

If you can get motivated, and motivate more conservative-minded people to show up and vote, at the end of the day, we might just suprise the liberals celebrating Obama's victory already.

Let Me Get This Straight...

Recently, on my Myspace.com page and my Facebook.com page, I posted a challenge to Obama supporters to answer three simple questions. The three questions asked for one major accomplishment that Obama has acheived, why raising taxes in a struggling economy is a good idea, and about his plan for the Iraq war.

Suprisingly, I did get intelligent, well-written, well-thought-out responses. However, the responses were more full of holes than a truck full of Swiss Cheese.

About the accomplishment portion, Obama has put three bills to committee. None were ever voted on, they just went to committee and died. So, his only accomplishments are: befriending a radical terrorist who launched his political career, then he got elected. Oh, and he has written two memoirs.

Memoirs about what? What did he do in his life worth remembering? Other than talking well enough to get people to vote for him?

This man has accomplished NOTHING, other than being an elected person. Nothing.

Secondly, about the tax plan, the responses offered links to pages that are either Obama's own site, or notoriously Obama-supporting media site (Newsweek, Time, NY Times, NBC, etc.).

Third, the Obama war plan, according to his own site, differs not with the current plan in action. His war plan is almost a copy and paste from the General David Petraeus plan. It is almost a mirror image of the current plan. Read his website! I am not exaggerrating. He is saying what people want to hear on the stump and in the news bits, but on his own website he, by plagerizing the current war plan, fully supports the war operations as they stand now.

Runningmate Joe Biden recently stated to donors and liberal supporters that a new President Obama will be tested. He warned that within the first six months of the new administration a generated crisis will test Obama. He went on to say that, in the view of those liberal supporters, Obama may not be responding to the situation appropriately. He begged that they use their influence and power to support Obama in this 'incorrect' response.

This means three things...Biden knows what I, and millions of conservatives, already know.

1) Obama is NOT READY. The world knows it. Our enemies and would-be enemies know it. The world is waiting to take advantage of it. They are going to make a crisis to take advantage of the weak, inexperienced Obama.

2) Senator McCain, for all his faults, is ready to answer that call and crisis. McCain doesn't need to beg Americans to support him when he makes the decisions to answer any international, or domestic, crisis.

3) Last, and most importantly, liberals, independents, disappointed Republicans thinking of going left or sitting this one out all need to realize this. For all the rhetoric, all the speeches, all the talk, all the promises, all the flip-flops...Obama and Biden know that if this said crisis takes place, Obama will have to do exactly what the Bush Administration would do...exactly what a McCain Administration would do...or else invite more crisees.

Biden, who has admitted that Hillary Clinton would have been a better VP Candidate, has not answered a question from the press since September 10. He still manages to get his foot in his mouth regularly. Biden has just admitted that America's enemies are drooling at the proposition of making their moves when Obama takes office.

Here are just a few of the possibilities that Biden is warning us about...these will take place right around or on January 20, 2009.

Putin is ready to move into Georgia...

Hugo Chavez, a friend of Obama buddy William Ayers, is ready to move into Cuba...

Ahmadinejad will, along with his Syrian allies, go all-out invasion into Iraq to murder our troops and take over...

Taliban and Iranian Forces ally with Chavez and set up shop in Cuba, with sights set on Florida and Guantanimo Bay...

Russia and OPEC will become a totally anti-American organization and cut off our oil supply and try to starve us out with their version of embargos...

Osama bin Laden gets a meet and greet with Obama in the Oval office, only to find that it is an impersonator that sets off 50 pounds of C-4 in the White House...

It is amazing the endless possibilities that an inexperienced President can invite.

So, sure, let's take the chance. He MIGHT be ready...

95% Working Families will get a Tax Cut

Sounds great.

Sounds outstanding!

Well, not so fast.

There is less than 95% of working families who even have a tax liability. So, to give some people who do not make enough to have a liability a tax cut, they will infact recieve free money from the government.

The numbers do not add up. Not at all. It is IMPOSSIBLE to give 95% of working families a tax cut.

Obama will only raise taxes on Americans who make $250K or more a year. Okay, so $250K a year makes you wealthy. This will include many small businesses. Small businesses drive the economy and drive our nation. If their taxes are raised, jobs will be lost. The circulation of money will slow. The strength of our economy is based on these small businesses that gross $250K-$500K.

Obama's plan will cripple the economy. Raising taxes to the hilt on the "rich" and on corporations will kill the American and world economy. It sounds nice in a soundbite, but it just won't work.

The fact is, corporations do not pay taxes out of pocket. They meet that like they meet every other cost in their production. How is that?

They pay their taxes by passing the cost on to the consumer.

It is a fact. Taxes are handled like every other aspect of producing a product or service. They are included in the cost of the product or service. So, raising the taxes on corporations will, in effect, raise taxes on every single American who buys the products and services from these corporations.

For those of you that want to see what a complete, unchecked Democratic majority can do, look at the state of Michigan. Michigan is in terrible financial shape. Taxes are through the roof. Corporations are taxed to oblivion. There are no new jobs going into the state because it is not financially viable for a new company. Michigan is falling into the lake named after it, and its because of poor Democratic leadership and high taxes on corporataions.

Please, before you cast your vote for Obama's high taxes and non-stop government hand-outs, look at Michigan and see for yourself how high taxes on corporations is working out.

Voter Disenfranchisement and Intimidation

Every election cycle, the Democrats whine, cry, scream and pout about "Republicans disenfranchising voters." They claim that their loyal, enthusiastic voters are being scared away from polling stations by Republicans.

People are being scared away from the polls because they have to show ID.

Huh?

These same people show their ID when they buy a beer, so why is it so scary for them to do so at a polling place?

The Democrats are screaming murder over an e-mail from the Wisconsin GOP that asked for polling place watchers. In the e-mail, the GOP was asking for people with police or military experience to work in the "more intimidating" polling locations. They were asking that people with leadership and strength of character come and watch the polls, and ensure that every vote was cast legally, and that no foul play ensues.

The Democrats claim that is intimidation.

If your electorate was as excited, confident, and convinced in their votes as you claim they are, they will not be intimidated. They will not be disenfranchised. They will vote with confidence and conviction for their candidates.

However, if the mere presence of law and order and the limiting of fraud will disenfranchise you, perhaps you aren't fully aware and appreciative of your right to vote. Perhaps if the mere presence of law and order in the polling place scares you away, you have something to hide.

Say, perhaps, you are voting for the 76th time that day because you registered to vote with ACORN 80 times? Perhaps you are voting for a dead person who was registered by ACORN? Maybe you are wanting to vote under the name Mickey Mouse? Or vote under the name of a 7 year old?

The fact is, there is no such thing as "voter intimidation" or disenfranchisement" in America. Not when you consider the REAL "voter intimidation" or disenfranchisement" that the Iraqi people and the Afghanistan voters dealt with. No one in America is threatening to bomb your polling station. There are not AK-47's trained on you when you leave the polling place.

I am just tired of the joke claims of "voter intimidation" or disenfranchisement" by the Democrats every election. Yet, no one...and I mean NO ONE...not ONE...Democratic leader has spoken on the record against ACORN. ACORN has blatantly been fraudulently registering people, multiple times over. And many of these fraudulent registrations will slip through the cracks and vote.

Who do you think will benefit from the fraudulent votes?

The dead vote, Disney character vote, multiple vote, and Dallas Cowboy vote go to Obama 100%. Democrats also get the convicted felon vote 100%.

It's such a shame that the Democrats use ACORN to stuff the ballot boxes across the nation, yet still get away with accusing Republicans of "voter intimidation" or disenfranchisement."

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!!!

Are You Ready to Elect Louis Farrakhan's "Messiah?"

We tell you that Barack Hussein Obama launched his political career in the living room of a known terrorist.

So what?

We tell you that Obama is going to spend like an identity thief with a new platinum credit card.

So?

We tell you that Obama has made absolutely ZERO contributions to the US Congress, other than asking for approximately $1 million in pork spending per day.

Ah, that's just not important.

Obama's pastor of 20 years is a racist, bigoted, anti-American propagandist using the pulpit to degrade whites, America, and anyone who disagrees with any left-leaning black person.

THAT'S RACIST! HOW DARE YOU QUESTION A MINISTER ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS COLOR!!!!!

Obama's campaign gave $800,000 to ACORN to help with their 'get-out-the-vote' efforts. As we have seen, and continue to see develop before our very eyes, that Obama For President money went to one of, if not the, most corrupt, fraudulent voter registration scandals in the history of American politics. Voters' names are turning up 10, 15, even 20 times. All with different addresses or phony social security numbers. Fraud! Obama has had ties to ACORN, and their brutish, manipulative, goon-like behaviors, since he graduated from Columbia, and certainly as he was beginning to launch a political career.

Ah, who cares, right?

Maybe, just maybe this will stick. Maybe the left-wing loons can put down the Kool-Aid and think for themselves. Maybe.

Louis Farrakhan is a racist. He is a bigot. He is a zealot. He is very much an anti-Semite (hates the Jews, period.). He speaks to black people only to incite hatred, and to excuse a black man's personal failures as nothing more than the white man's racism.

Farrakhan is a racist. Plain and simple. He hates Jews. He hates whites. He constantly speaks against Jews and whites, tippy-toeing the line and almost crossing into inciting violence against Jews and Whites.

Now, I do not have a problem with a man simply based on his religion. I do not agree with certain faiths and doctrines, but I do not get involved in, nor really care about an individual's religion. I do not discriminated solely on religion. That being said, and add into the fray that Farrakhan has constantly said anti-Jewish comments that are nearly as full of hatred at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I think it bears pointing out that Farrakhan is the Head of the Nation of Islam.

He is the HEAD of the Nation of Islam. He spews hate-filled remarks against Jews.

And,in a recent endorsement of Senator Barack Obama, Louis Farrakhan made a remark that all but confirmed the mania that has been suspected of the left.

Here is a transcript of comments Farrakhan made to the Nation of Islam recently.

You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change and that's why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything about. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.

Transcript of Glenn Beck's segment on this video.



So, what is the deal here? Is a racist like Farrakhan calling Obama the Messiah? Or is Obama a tool of the Messiah of the nation of Islam?

Either way, is this an endorsement and an image that you are comfortable with? Can you hand the reigns of the free world to a man with such a resounding endorsement?

Or, am I just racist?

Would You Marry This Man?

Hi, my name is Barry.

I went to Columbia University. But, I can't tell you anything about my time there.

After Columbia, I worked on the streets of Chicago. In that time, I crossed paths with many people who could be deemed "radicals." I associated with groups that have been associated, if not fully guilty, of federal crimes and fraud, but I will not talk about them. I will only tell you it is in the past.

After that time, I went to Harvard. But, you cannot ask about, nor find out about, anything about by time there. My senior thesis is buried and hidden, and no one will release it for public consumption.

I have ties to a man who worked with a domestic terrorist group. One person I work with has described my relationship to this terrorist as "friendly." I say we barely know each other. I just happened to pick his house and living room to host a party that launched my political career and campaign to be state senator. Yet, he is not important.

I spent over 2 decades listening to the rants of an Anti-American, Anti-White, radical preacher. I sat in his parish for most of my adult life, and never had a difference of opinion with him...at least until I ran for a national office. My church of over 20 years has been a pulpit full of racist, bigoted, anti-American sludge. However, you cannot be allowed to hold that into question, unless you, yourself, are a racist!

You cannot question my past. You cannot investigate my associates. You cannot consider my radical friends, associates, mentors, religious leaders, or anyone else I have spent time with in forming my political philosophies, beliefs, and goals.

All you can do, unless you are a racist, is take my words at their face value. Unless you are a racist, you have to believe what I say on Monday, and then change what you believe when I speak on Tuesday, because a new poll has come out and I have changed my message.

Will you marry me?

Or, are you racist?



Would you marry a man whose past you could not learn about? Would you date a man who had so many radical connections that he held for so long without serious and public denouncement of? Would you date a man that refused to release any information about his college years, about his connections to a fraudulent, strong-arming political machine like ACORN, about his time as a community organizer?

Would you let a man you know nothing about be your significant other?

Then, why would you let him take charge of your life and you future?

The Latest News...My Take

First and foremost on people's minds is the current state of the American and world economy. Everyone is in a panic and thinking that we are on the verge of a new depression. I say, "Calm down!"

John McCain was right. The fundamentals of our economy are still strong. However, some very big financial institutions were very careless in their pursuit of outlandish profits and personal gains of the suits in charge. Some of those suits that have personally gained from the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failures are include the very democrats pointing fingers at Bush. What people are not looking at is the fact that Barack Obama personally benefited from the two housing lenders' failures.

The bail-out of Freddie and Fannie, as well as AIG and the other companies being saved, will help keep our economy strong. While the bail-out will temporarily impact our tax budget, there is a real possibility that much of the $700 billion can be recouped, if not see a profit turned. If only we get the greedy democrats out of power.

Barack Obama and Chris Dodd and hundreds of other democrats personally pocketed millions of dollars from these institutions. Why don't they stand up and do the right thing and give back that shady money? Because it is easier to blame George Bush, the same practice that liberals have been doing since early 2002, when they first started blaming Bush for 9/11, and then it just continued from there.

This bail-out is, sadly, needed to prevent a deep recession, if not a complete depression. My hope is that America will elect McCain and McCain will let an economic whiz like Mitt Romney take charge of the economy.

Outside of that, we again are feeling even more pain at the gas pump. Why? We have no alternatives!!!!! We have no alternatives thanks to the do-nothing Democratic Congress. What happened to their promises of lowering energy costs? What happened to their promises of changing everything? They have done nothing! They went to break instead of voting on energy solutions. Nancy Pelosi forced the House of Representatives to summer recess instead of hearing Republicans who had requested floor time. She ordered the cameras off, the lights turned down, and the doors locked.

What kind of leader is this? She would rather go on vacation that do her job and find solutions for problems facing her constituents. And we are still painfully close to $4 a gallon with no hope in sight.

What has this heroic Democratic Congress done in two years? They were elected with promises of the sun, moon, and stars. They have done nothing of substance. They spent the first year of their time in power voting on non-binding resolutions to force withdrawal from Iraq. They have spent more time voting on resolutions that had as much legal power as a post-it note found on the floor of the Capitol Building than on finding solutions to American problems.

So, we have democrats with their hands in the crumbling cookie jar of Freddie and Fannie and Countrywide and all these other institutions. We have a do-nothing Democratic congress that has accomplished nothing, with the exception of a single-digit approval rating, setting historic records for disgust with accomplishment. Yet, sadly, nearly 50% of Americans support this same party?

Even worse, look at the kind of trash and low-life attacks that democrats are slinging at the McCain-Palin ticket. The left is not going on facts and issues, instead they are taking very mean-spirited, low, uncouth, dirty, disgraceful, and tasteless swipes at John McCain and Sarah Palin.

How many times do we have to hear that John McCain is going to die in office? The loud-mouths on "The View" implied and said it at least 6 times in the 30 minutes McCain was on their sofa. "God-forbid, something might happen to you..." McCain is a tough cat. He has smirked and walked-through and survived events and catastrophes that civilians could not fathom. Running the nation he has served for over 40 years will be a cakewalk compared to some of the travesties McCain has dealt with.

For a party that supposedly fights for women, they sure cannot handle a woman with a shot at the Vice Presidency. They constantly question Sarah Palin and her ability to be a family person and a VP. They never question a man, yet they attack a woman. Why? She is a conservative. If Sarah Palin was pro-choice and wanted to raise taxes and have government take over health care, these nut job feminazis would be 100% for her. Yet, because her fundamental beliefs are different, her gender is no longer worth promoting. And don't get me started on the complete garbage and classless attacks against Todd Palin and their children.

The children are not campaigning. They are CHILDREN, you sick, twisted, soul-less morons. We have left-wing media people and left-wing politicians who attack the Palin family on a daily basis. Charlie Rangel called Sarah Palin "disabled." Media have implied that Todd Palin is "doing those girls," referring to the Palin daughters. There are attacks out there claiming that Trig, the precious youngest Palin child, is actually the product of an incestuous relationship between Todd and the 15-year-old daughter.

Then there is Charlie Gibson with his very condescending attitude and disrespect for Sarah Palin. She handled it well, but Gibson was so rude and slanted in his interview with Palin. It is just part of a pattern of the left trying to tear her apart, not just politically, but personally.

I just hope, and I do have hope, that the rest of the country can see through the garbage. There are no real attacks on McCain's policies or Palin's strengths. Instead, there are personal attacks and attempts to personally destroy the children, who have nothing to do with the campaign.

So, people, please, see through the smoke and mirrors. Research and find the truth. If you think for yourself, and truly find the truth, you will have no choice but to vote the correct ticket come November 4.
