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.

Why I don't give the benefit of the doubt to the left...

There are so many people who believe without question in the agenda of the left. They defend to their own demise the policies and programs developed by liberals. They ignore facts to the contrary of their beliefs. They are locked into their beliefs without doubt or ability to admit wrong.

So, maybe they could possibly be right? Maybe their ideals are best. Why can I not give the benefit of the doubt?

I look at how the current administration and the current Congress treat everyday Americans. I study how reactions from those in power relate to the reality of their opposition. Then, I came to a conclusion about whether or not the left could be right.

The left is wrong. They are killing the country. Nearly everything Rush, Hannity, Levin, and even Beck are saying is en route to reality. How do I know? Look at the debate.

Conservative: I disagree with the plans for Health Care Reform. I fear the unintended consequences will result in rationing and even further difficulty for seniors to get and pay for needed care.
Liberal: RACIST! You are a bigot. You are a homophobe and a sexist. I am afraid of the violent rhetoric you are spewing.
Conservative: I am only voicing my opposition and utilizing my Constitutional rights. I think Health Care Reform and Cap and Tax will further destroy our country.
Liberal: Destroy our country? You are threatening our country with destruction?
Conservative: What? I want to peaceably assemble to petition my government for redress of my grievances.
Liberal: Racist! Seditionist! You Nazi with your guns rights and Constitution. You are dangerous! Someone needs to stop you before someone gets killed!
Enter SEIU members to attack nearest black person at Tea Party rally.

Conservatives express legitimate, fact-based concerns. Liberals call them racists and bigots and seditionists. It's like an adult arguing with a child. The adult uses logic, the child gets mad and screams and name-calls. Who is usually right when a child and adult disagree in this manner?

If the liberals could defend and demonstrate, with facts, that what they are pushing through is true, right, and accurate, why is their first, second, and only reaction name calling and marginalization of opponents?

The fact is, they can't. They know the opposition is right, so they have to legitimize them instead of de-legitimize their own agenda. Ask yourself, when you disagree with a friend or loved one, if they resort to name calling and attempting to devalue you as a human being, who is the person that is most likely right? Who is most likely on the correct side of an issue when one side cites facts, ideas, different solutions, and legitimate concerns, or the side who resorts to childish name-calling and baseless accusations?

Think about 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.

Tea Party Day...No Violence?

For the last 10 months, or longer, we have heard from elected officials how potentially violent, scary, and bigoted the Tea Party movement was. We heard how members of Congress were frightened of the Tea Partiers and the potential for violence their movement created.

On April 15, 2010, 3 million people gathered in public squares throughout the land at over 1,000, different Tea Party locations, and not one arrest. Not one broken window. Not one injury. Just 3 million Americans of all races, genders, creeds, ages, and backgrounds coming together, singing patriotic songs, and letting their feelings be known.

I know that most people do not take it as a shock that the Tea Party movement held their 1,000, rallies throughout America without incident. However, if there was any question as to whether or not the Tea Party protesters were truly dangerous, all you needed to do was witness Nancy Pelosi and members of Congress parading, unnecessarily, through the protesters en route to passing the Health Care Reform fiasco.



Pelosi is one of the most notorious attackers of the Tea Party movement, accusing them of being "astroturf," meaning a fake grassroots, accusing them of being potentially violent Nazis, and other insulting, degrading, marginalizing comments. The entire Democrat party and the Mainstream Media has taken and ran with the idea of racism, bigotry, and potential violence by Tea Party members. Yet, they walked through, without reason other than to taught the protesters on that day. If it was so dangerous, why risk it?

Fact is, Tea Party members are good, proud Americans. They love the US and the Constitution that should be the guiding force behind the way the government operates. It is the Tea Party that remembers we have a Constitution. The pompous Congressmen and Congresswomen who strutted through the peaceably assembled masses of protesters use the Constitution as a floormat.

However, leaving a Republican party event in New Orleans called the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, an aid to Governor Bobby Jindall and her boyfriend were beaten and sent to the hospital with broken bones. Where is the outcry? Where is the wall-to-wall coverage? No where.



This picture, from Andrew Beitbart's website www.biggovernment.com, (LINK to photo/story) shows the aftermath.

Let us not forget, Obama's friends from the SEIU. I say friends because the SEIU has had more access to the President and his staff than General McChrystal. The SEIU has had representatives visit the White House, sign in the official guest registry than any other visitor or entity. The SEIU showed their true colors in St. Louis, without any mainstream media coverage...



Yet, TEA Party members are racist, bigoted, and violent? Really?

Andrew Breitbart has been offering $100K of his own money for evidence of the "N" word being shouted outside the Capital during the Health Care protests. This offer has been posted online, on Breitbart's Twitter page, and during his television appearances since the day of the alleged racial slurs. Over a month later, not one shred of video evidence. Not one taker. Yet, MSNBC, CNN, NBC, and ABC ran with the racial slur accusations as if they were indisputable facts. (Kinda like the whole Global Warming thing, which has been virtually debunked thanks to the leaked emails last summer.)

The fact is, if you have the ability to think for yourself, you can see through the garbage. If the TEA Party WERE violent and dangerous, there would be visual evidence run 24/7, unlike the left-wing flag burners outside the White House who were ignored by the mainstreamers. If the TEA Party movement was wrong and the Democrats were actually doing the right thing, why do they have to resort to name calling and insults? Why can't they beat us with REAL facts and transparency?

In all reality, the Democrats and liberals in power are wrong. They know they are doing wrong. They know that the protesters and TEA Party members and Conservatives are right, which is why they refuse to fight with facts. Instead, they try to marginalize and insult and degrade their opponents. Like a couple children fighting, when one child has been bested, he resorts to name calling, yelling, and crying, rather than sticking up for himself and his beliefs.

The TEA Party movement is heading in the right direction. America needs to dust herself off and stand strong once again. That will begin in earnest the first week of November 2010, and will continue through November 2012.

2010 Predictions

1) Obama and the Dems will tout their victorious passing of "something" for health care reform. No one outside of talk radio and FNC will dare question what that "something" actually is, but the "something" is a historic "something." It could be good...could be bad...but they actually passed "something." And that "something" will be the landmark success that the media will tout to help build momentum toward the November mid-terms.

2) Cap and Tax will eventually pass. Another "something." It will include the promised tax payer funds for the global warming initiatives Obama agreed to in Copenhagen. Stimulus money will be used to put thousands of illegals to work to build homeless shelters and YMCAs to house the massive influx of homeless due to the high energy costs. Al Gore will fly around with Obama in Gore's private jet to various golf courses, taking breaks between holes to tout the green grass, the clean air, and the new green technology that is coming out in the coming months. The spike in homelessness will be blamed on the careless Bush policies that encouraged the alleged price gouging of big oil.

3) As the health reform bill gets through reconsiliation, and cap and tax builds momentum toward passing, the Obama administration will announce that television services and access to the important messages carried with the Emergency Broadcast System. They will blame Bush and rehash and rewrite the history of Katrina to emphasize the need for everyone to have access to clear, understandable television. A new tax on the viewers of the most successful cable news channel will pay for TV for all. Every person in America will be required to purchase a government approved television service with government approved channels with government approved programming. Finally, Barack will have an answer for Fox News....

4) In conjuction with the Right to Public Broadcast and Emergency Information Act, Chuck Schumer, D-NY, will add an amendment that will ressurrect the Fairness Doctrine. The Fairness Doctrine will garner the support of all Democrats. The justification of the amendment will be explained as follows: if all broadcasts, television, radio and otherwise, are subject to fairness and avoid one-sidedness, more people will be tuned in, therefore will have more readily available access to any important news and information through the Emergency Message System.

5) For anyone with a job, the government will absorb 100% of your check, send your family a box of food each week, all of which is grown on "green" and animal friendly farms, and determine the amount of kilowatthours your family can use in electricity each day. Hit the limit, your power goes off. So, cook dinner in the crockpot FIRST!

6) In late October, as more and more families lose jobs, homes, and cars, crime rates skyrocket, and civil unrest starts to become a trend, Barack Obama makes a heartfelt, sincere announcement in reference to the fear and worry America is feeling. With the support of Congress, Obama, in the interest of safety for the innocent, hard-working, suffering American people, the United States will not expose its citizens to the potential dangers and heightened emotions of an election night. As of November 1, 2010, all state and national elections will be post-poned until such time as joblessness, homelessness, and crime all see drastic declines.

Unlikely?

Yeah. And if I told you in 2006 that by 2009, the US would have a weak puppet for a President who led an immature, unrestrained Congress into taking over General Motors, the banking industry, and the health care industry, you would think I was crazy then, too.

Remembering 9/11 Eight Years Later...

There are still empty chairs at the breakfast and dinner tables.

There is still a gaping hole in Manhattan, and in so many hearts and souls in America.

We are still healing.

In our healing, we have become divided. We have let the power-hungry manipulate us into buying their snake oils and their magic youth formulas. We have let the government group us into small categories and let the opposing side rip us to shreds for our beliefs.

We are a divided nation. The more divided we become, the more hatred and vitriol we share for our own people, the more the murderous bastards have won. They are winning the psychological battle against America because we let politics and personal agendas take over. We let them win because we refused to tell the people we elected to, "Shut the hell up!," and kick them out of office. We let our own government divide us.

On September 11, 2001, we stood in horror...in anger...in shock. On September 12, 2001, we got down on our knees as a nation and asked God for the strength and wisdom to deliver justice. That same day, we, as a nation, got off our knees, dusted ourselves off, and got to work. We united as a country to do everything we could to prevent this attack from repeating itself. We were the UNITED States of America, a nation determined to right the wrongs of the immoral attacks inflicted on innocent civilians.

For six weeks, Old Glory flew high on every home, on every street, in every city, town, or suburb in America. We weren't straight or gay, black or white, rich or poor, left or right...We were AMERICANS. For six weeks we were the greatest nation on Earth, full of angry, hurt, and fortified Americans. For those six weeks, the terrorists had lost the psychological battle though they had won the physical battle at that point.

Here we are, eight years later. Gaping holes still within the hearts of so many people who lost so much in 100 minutes on a gorgeous September Tuesday morning. The hole in Manhattan is still open, like a nagging injury that still hasn't healed. And there is a gaping hole in the hearts, minds, and souls of Americans.

For six weeks, we were unified, together, and we were brothers with one creed and one loyalty. What happened? Why did we stop caring about the nation and the future? Why did we decide that our needs here and now were most important?

Now, we are 600 million strangers with our own agendas. We let the mouthpieces in Washington divide us on a daily basis. It is a sad way to pay tribute to the people on Flight 93, the men and women in the Twin Towers and The Pentagon, and the brave firefighters and police officers who perished on that terrible morning. We have disgraced them. Their sacrifice has gone in vain...

But it doesn't have to be that way.

If you will take a pledge to read the US Constitution, then read the Declaration of Independence, then read Thomas Paine's Common Sense, and then look with pride at the red, white, and blue American flag, and then look at the people on your left and your right, and look at them as your brothers and sisters in the struggle of being American...if you will do all those things, then remember how you felt on 9/11/01 at around 11am, then we will be better off. If we will remember what it is that makes America great, and remember that despite her faults, America IS a great nation, we can turn it around.

America IS a great nation. If you don't believe that, France is wide open. Buy a one-way ticket. Enjoy the riots. It is time we started remembering that we are in a great nation. We are free people. We need to appreciate the freedoms we have, and, more importantly, remember and thank the people who protect those freedoms and rights. It is time to cut out the petty garbage and grow the hell up. It is time to appreciate what we have.

Today, on 9-11-09, it is time to remember. Remember everything. Remember Todd Beamer. Remember the firemen who ran up the stairwells of the Twin Towers, but never came out. Remember the empty chairs that so many families will witness at dinner tonight. Remember what America stands for and forget the garbage and politics. There is one thing we can do to honor the men and women who suffered and died on 9-11. We must re-unite and become a strong nation. Stop pointing fingers and stop blaming Bush or Obama or whomever. Do your part.

Honor and remember the freedom fighters who died eight years ago today. Let's unite as Americans PERMANENTLY.

Fed Up With "Change"

For over a year, during his coronation to the White House, Barack Obama was bulletproof and covered in military-grade Teflon. Nothing hurt him and nothing stuck to him.

He is friends with a white domestic terrorist. It was racist to question that alliance, despite the fact that this terrorist wishes more US buildings (like the family home of a NYC cop) had gone up in smoke. Obama and he worked together on several different community boards. Obama was introduced as the successor to his eventually seat in the State senate in the living room of this terrorist.

No one cared. He talked really well.

His pastor of over 20 years, the man who baptised Obama's children, is a blatant racist and consistently speaks against America. This pastor even sells copies of his Anti-American rants in the very lobby of the church Obama attended for two decades. I think this is a valid concern. I don't want a President that hates America, or even condones a man of faith speaking so hostility toward my nation.

Yet, I am accused of being a racist for asking questions. Obama is the chosen one, how dare I question him!

Obama has close business ties to a convicted criminal now serving jail time. No one cares about this allegiance. I am so full of hate to ask about criminal connections to my President. The nerve it takes for me to doubt the savior of our times.

So, fine, Obama gets elected despite more than half of the living American voting public disagrees with him on everything. (He did get the unanimous dead vote...not to mention 300% of the homeless vote, 115% of the cartoon/Disney/Muppet vote, and the fact that Archie Bunker, Forrest Gump, Frank Sinatra, Jean-Luc Piccard, James T. Kirk, Garth Algar, and Wayne Campbell all voted enthusiastically for Obama, thanks to ACORN's voter registration techniques.)

Within his first two weeks in office, he crams down our throats two unprecedented spending bills, neither of which were read by anyone who was pressured to vote for them. He spent $2 Trillion in 2 weeks without batting an eye. The explanation was we needed stimulation or else we could see 9% or higher unemployment WITHOUT the emergency spending.

The bills passed. And, Obama was right. The massive spending did prevent a 9% unemployment rate. In fact, we are doing so much over and above that prediction. We are well on our way to double digits! And, the "emergency" money won't even be spent for another 18 months.

Let me explain this. You're house is on fire. I tell you that you HAVE to buy this really pricey insurance policy so that I can put out the fire. You HAVE TO buy this expensive fire extinguisher with the plan. You sign. Its an emergency! You give me the blank check. Now, its time to put out the fire! Right? No, not with the Obama administration. I promised to put out the fire, but the fire gets worse. I have the fire extinguishers on order. They were cheaper if I waited a few months. Your house is engulfed in flames, exactly what I promised the insurance policy you just signed without reading would prevent. I tell you that you owe more money to build a water slide in a different state. There are water fountains in California that need new filters. All coming out of your bank account. Your house is in ashes. The government comes and tells you, "Oh, we are so sorry. President Bush set the fire and we just cannot contain it. But hey, this is change you can believe in. Sign this contract to spend another $100K from your account. No no no, there is no time to read it. Oh, and expect your power bills to skyrocket. It is necessary. Oops! I almost forgot. Here is a fine from the EPA. Your house fire caused so much carbon dioxide to be put in the air, you need to pay this fine. Or call Al Gore and buy some of his trees."

That, pretty much, is what is happening. We are being financially raped by Obama. And despite the fact that we have hit the iceberg, the ship is taking on unbelievable amounts of water, and people are jumping overboard, there are still dumb sheep, being led to slaughter, who still support this guy.

All of the Right's worst fears are coming true. Obama owns the auto industry, the banking industry, and is squeezing out the heartbeat of the American economy, small business. Small businesses don't have Unions, and as such, don't contribute to Democrat party coffers, so they can all die slowly. Obama owns the banks, and the banks are refusing to prop up small businesses. He has his sights set firmly on the health care industry. He will destroy it, too.

Obama is destroying America. He is pulling the plug of the life-support machine on the American economy. He is killing our freedom day by day. And there are a lot of Americans that think they are okay with that.

If we don't wake up and realize what is happening, and do something about it in 2010, we could very well be doomed to complete collapse and a complete failure of America. We will be a third world country like North Korea. The upper class Democrats will suppress freedom, liberty, and all the genuinely American ideals to keep in power. You see what is going on in Iran? If we stay complacent and ignore what the government is doing to us, we will someday, within the next generation, face the same fate.

Please, wake up. Please do not let freedom and America die.

Edison, Bell, Ford, and other great American Inventors

Thomas Edison gave us the incandecent light bulb. It took him thousands of attempts and countless hours of work. Not to mention the unending frustration for each passing failure.

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone continues to revolutionize the world's communication systems. His simple call to Mr. Watson all those years ago spawned, for better or for worse, the unending, infinite conversations through voice, text, and data that we are enjoying today.

Henry Ford's assembly line production made automobiles a reality for every American, and billions of people around the world. This simple yet ingenius innovation is the kind of intelligent thought that has allowed growth and prosperity in America.

You know what the most amazing fact about these men is? They all share a common thread, other than being American legends.

All of their work, research, trial and errors, and the unending supply of materials they required came from one source.

With everything needed to create a new product such as the lightbulb or the phone or assembly line production, these men, and so many more of the innovations in America that we enjoy today, so many of those have occurred with the work and dedication of special people.

None of whom needed to be subsidized by the federal government, nor did they need to be mandated by over-reaching legislation to make these advancements.

Bill Gates did not need government to reach in and tell him to make the PC easy to use for everyone.

Doctors who have created life-saving technologies and techniques did not require a government law to force them to do so.

Advancements in American technology and the quality of life in America have NEVER come as a result of government mandates or forced response to power-grabbing law.

Americans work towards better, more efficient lives on a daily basis; not because they are easy or because they are government ordered, but because we are ingenuitive, smart, creative, and most importantly, the free market demands it.

The American free market is the best system for creativity, ingenuity, productivity, and innovation. The free market ushered in the light bulb, the telephone, the television, the PC, the laptop, the cell phone, and the thousands of medical innovations in practice in hospitals across the globe.

The free market determines the cost and profit of innovation. If your innovation is not profitable and costs too much, it will sit on a shelf until someone creates the technology to make that innovation more cost effective.

Government legislation that forces high taxes, fees, and increases in all energy costs upon the average American to force the development of energy efficient products will not work.

You cannot force a naturally occurring event to occur faster because you legislate it to. You cannot write a law that forces innovation. It won't work.

All this clean energy legislation will do is raise energy costs so high that the American people will have to find alternatives to survive. However, the standards by which the government is mandating the energy efficiency of the required innovations are impossible to reach unless there is some miracle intervening invention comes to the forefront. Even Obama's experts say the technology does not exist to create the required efficiency this clean energy act calls for.

The Free Market is the best way to inspire invention and innovation. You cannot mandate it from Washington. You cannot force it upon the average American by raising taxes and costs so extremely that something has to give. It is unfair and immorral. It is the type of taxation that led to the first American revolution...perhaps it will take another.

FIRE THEM ALL! VOTE THEM OUT IN NOVEMBER 2010!!!

They need to be fired. They need to lose their jobs, much like the thousands or, as some higher estimates predict, millions, of American people who will lose their jobs as a result of this bill.

HR 2454. It passed. Eight...8!!!...yellow-belly Republicans, hungry for the slobbering media love fest that Obama has been given since he spoke in at the Democratic National Convention several years back, sold out their party, their constituents, and their nation, along with the 211 Democratic Representatives who drank the kool-aid and toed the line, sucking on the nipple of Obama and his mighty teleprompter and Socialist agenda.

You scoff. You say not here, not in America. You think this, like my last piece, is nothing but extreme right-wing propaganda. The kind of propaganda that is getting me put on Janet Nopalitano's Homeland Security watch-list.

You take for granted your freedom and the beauty of the American way. You think that things will run like they always do. Nothing will change. Hey, it's Washington.

You are wrong. Your complacency is killing America. Your ignorance and apathy toward this Congress and this Socialist Czar, I mean President, is damning our country.

WAKE UP!!!

HR 2454 is a daggar in the eye of the American people. It is one more massive power grab by the Obama regieme. It will cripple the American economy more than you or I can fathom. Thousands upon thousands of calls flooded into the halls of the Capitol today, and those pleas were ignored.

Mitt Romney said it best. Washington is broken.

And so many of this country's people are happy with freedom and strength being stripped from us by the minute. We are stuck with our heads in the sand. We ignore the warning signs because people like Kanye West and Oprah tell us Obama is okay. What credentials do Kanye or Oprah have to tell us how great Obama's plan is? Kanye and Oprah are rich beyond compare. Obama's reckless spending has no effect on them. Or the Keith Olbermann's of the world.

The average, everyday, paycheck-to-paycheck American is getting taken behind the woodshed. And so are the unborn generations to come.

We are being raped by Obama's reckless policies and weakness.

America is being raped, and where is the outrage?

HR 2454 is going to raise taxes and fees to unbelievable heights for any company that expells Carbon Dioxide into the air. So, appearantly the few employees that they can keep won't be allowed to breathe while at work? You know, since we humans give off this naturally occurring gas everytime we exhale. One volcanic eruption gives off more Carbon Dioxide than we have since the advent of the automobile. The explosion of Mount Vesuvius that buried Pompeii gave off more CO2 than humans have in their existance.

And Obama is going to tax that gas. CO2 will be a taxable, fine-able substance.

Well, unless you buy into specialized companies that sell carbon-offsets. Interesting. The same people forcing this legislation on us, as well as ALL the GLOBAL WARMING garbage, are the same ones who own and operate these carbon-offset companies. Doesn't that seem like a conflict of interest? Perhaps a little quid pro quo? A little underhanded, good-ole-boy networking?

Al Gore, the biggest TOOL the liberals use to spread the garbage of global warming, owns several controlling interests in carbon-offset companies. Doesn't that seem odd to you? Doesn't that raise a red flag? Doesn't that bother you?

People still whine over the fact that a long-standing relationship between Haliburton and the Department of Defense continued during the Bush years. Haliburton worked with the DoD for years before Bush ever took the Governorship of Texas. Yet people are still crying foul that that relationship continued while Dick Cheney was VP, because Cheney had some pre-VP relationships with Haliburton.

Yet these same people turn a blind eye when Al Gore and his ilk bilk you and me for BILLIONS of dollars for their own carbon-offset companies. We will be forced to pay extra at the pump, more for our heating, more for our electricity, more for anything we buy that requires any sort of energy to create and deliver to market...we are going to become a collapsed, Russian-bread-line, third-world country if we don't get pissed off and enact change.

The unread stimulus package in January was sold to us as an emergency. Yet, more than half of the money is still over a year away from even being proposed on being spent. The emergency was so bad that NOT passing this unread stimulus bill would cause unemployment to skyrocket to over 9%. It was passed, and we are well on our way to 15-20% by Christmas. Go ahead, think about that. I will wait. .... Yes, we were sold on an unread, imperfect, pork-laden, waste-filled stimulus bill whose passage was told to guarentee less than 9% unemployment. Yet, where are we now?

Obama tells a woman that there will be "rules" to the nationalized health care...rules that might cut short the lives of the elderly because it would be more cost effective. But, the empathetic Obama will "give them a pill for the pain." Empathetic? More like PATHETIC.

Wake up, America. We are losing our country. I will say it again, I do not use this term lightly. I know the meaning of this word for so many people. I abhor the word. I use it because I am hoping to break through the hard-candy shell surrounding so many American brains.

Obama and the Democrats are RAPING America.

Come November 2010 and 2012...

FIRE THEM ALL!!!!!

HERE IS A LINK TO MARK LEVIN'S WEBSITE WHERE HE NAMES THE 8 REPUBLICAN TRAITORS.

Obama's Health Plan...Well, Willard Scott will be out of a job...

Once you read this blog, you will find that title in poor taste. You might even find the title repulsive. Hate the title. Hate the message. And remember, I am only commenting on the truth. I am hoping you people will forget Governor Sanford. I hope you will ignore the platitudes and bumper sticker slogans. I hope you will see past the garbage that is the main-stream media and their, to borrow a title from an EXCELLENT book about the 2008 campaign by Bernard Goldberg, Slobbering Love Affair with Barack Obama.

Open your eyes. Read between the lines. The lines are becoming more and more spread apart because Americans have become apathetic. Americans have their heads buried in the sand. If we don't reclaim America, and do it fast, while we have our heads in the sand, might as well raise up about 30" and go ahead and kiss our butts goodbye.

We are losing America. The greatest threat to freedom is the smooth-talking car salesman in the White House. He would smooth-talk most people into slaughtering their first born to help reduce the deficit he is expanding by the millisecond.

Am I overreacting? Am I propagandizing? Am I letting racist tendencies cloud my judgement?

MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and the 24-hour-Obama network (this week, anyway) ABC, would have you think so. The New York Times, if I had more than my modest readership, would accuse me of being responsible for killing Dr. Tiller and being a racist like the moronic piece of excrement that shot up the Holocaust museum.

But, I am not. I am an American. I am proud of my country, a great (though imperfect) nation. I love freedom and small government. I love the idea that I know better how to run my life than some stiffs in suits in Washington, DC. I think that if a woman has sex, she has made that choice with her body and that the killing of the pregnancy is MURDER. If you don't want kids, keep your legs closed....that is your choice, lady. If a woman is attacked, either physically, virtually, or in print, the person doing the attacking is scum (much like the scum who wrote the hate f**k list).

I also love and cherish the idea of previous generations making impacts on lives long into their golden years. I believe that the elderly have opportunities to contribute until they take their final breath, and we should do everything to ensure there are as many breaths in that lifetime as medically possible.

Obama and his health plan spell out different fates for the elderly. His plan would deny health care, critical, life-saving health care to elderly. Hence, the title of my blog...Obama's plan would lower the average age of the United States by decades as people would be dying sooner and sooner. Thus, putting Willard Scott out of a job announcing the 90-100+ seniors' birthdays.

Am I overreacting? Let me explain.

A woman told a brief anecdote about her grandmother.

The grandmother was 100 years old in 2004. She was failing in health, but had a "spirit" and lived an active lifestyle. The granny participated in many activities and kept the word "live" in alive. She was very spunky (my word) and had a lot more living to do, but just needed the lifesaving implantation of a pacemaker. Several doctors denied the operation. Finally, because of the grandmother's spirit, one doctor did the lifesaving operation. Guess what? 5 years later, in 2009, granny is still going strong, thanks to the doctor that looked at the individual and saw there was a life being lived...a life that needed saving.

The question posed to Obama from the woman, who had talked about her grandmother being saved and living a full life after the life-saving operation 5 years ago, asked if there would be, under the Obama plan, room for a doctor's judgement to determine that, despite age, a person's spirit and determination and ability to live a full life is worthy of taking the risk to save their life with an operation like a pacemaker.

The all-knowing, all caring, all seeing, great orator of our time answered as eloquently as he could without his teleprompter, answered this question in the coldest, meanest, most soul-less way possible. Forgive me as I paraphrase, but you surely can find the actual clip online.

To answer this woman's question as to whether her spunky grandmother would have lived those extra 5 full years under the Obama plan, Obama, the chosen one!, told this woman the following. He said that "spirit" is a very subjective idea, an idea that is hard to measure. He said that there have to be "rules" to determine whether a life-saving operation is feasible...RULES. RULES to determine whether we will save a life. Black and white, non-subjective RULES. He continued that those rules would determine whether the doctor would save the life, or "just give her a pill for the pain."

Do you get it? Do you see? I have been so outraged...so sickened...so worried about our future, I could not put fingers to keypad until 1am CDT two days later. I cannot believe what we are on the cusp of seeing enacted in the United States of America. Its bad enough children are shucking their responsibility to their aging parents and buries so many seniors in decrepit nursing homes, but now we are talking about a cut-off age for life-saving operations.

"Oh, sorry, you just turned 66. If you'd come in two weeks ago, you could have gotten the pacemaker. Here's a pill. Thank you, come again!"

Do you see? Can't you see where we are heading? Are you scared yet? Look at your grandparents...even your parents...under Obama-care, they better get sick young, or they will die slowly with survivable medical conditions because of Obama's RULES.

God help us if this passes.

The Hate Mongering of MSNBC and the Left

Watch Keith Olbermann use his post on MSNBC to spread his own version of hate, venom, and propaganda. MSNBC is the mouthpiece of left, liberal hate of conservatives.



Instead of covering it as a tragedy and addressing the true decency and heroics of the security guards, Olbermann uses this 6 minute segment to group all right wingers into the same group as the evil jerk that opened fire in the Holocaust Museum.

The evil dirt bag that opened fire is plain evil. He is called a terrorist several times by Olbermann, which is the only thing I agree with in the whole rant. However, the rant's purpose to is to lump all conservatives into the same category. I am aghast at the hypocrisy.

First, and most troubling, given our current plight thanks to the President that MSNBC (and Chris Matthews' tingling feelings in his legs) helped elect, is the fact that this guy, whose name I refuse to repeat in hopes that he is forgotten and not immortalized in print any more than necessary, is in fact a terrorist. A hate monger. A killer. An evil creature. Olbermann vilifies him, correctly. Where was this same scrutiny of William Ayers? Ayers did much the same type of domestic terrorism, yet MSNBC ignores that terrorist because they want to protect Barack Obama.

Ayers gets a pass because there was no right-wing ties. Without knowing who or what this Holocaust Museum shooter stood for, believed in, or who he allied with, he is automatically labeled right-wing.

Now, let's look at the coverage Olbermann gave the shooting of an American soldier on American soil by an American Muslim-convert.

...

...

...

Exactly.

No coverage. No denouncement. No attack on the killer of young kid who was fresh from boot camp. The kid hadn't hurt a soul. He gets gunned down by an evil, sick Muslim convert. Yet, nothing. (Not even the PRESIDENT, the COMMANDER in CHIEF denounced the killing of the soldier.)

This African-American Muslim is not even being called by his Muslim name. The media buries this story, yet you have irresponsible jokes for a commentator like Olbermann ranting and raving about a lunatic and putting all right wingers into the same group.

It's all part of a trend that is painfully obvious. People with a microphone or a computer with the power of major media outlets to promote their sludge (NY Times, Time, Newsweek, Playboy, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN) feel free to say or do whatever they want against conservatives.

Hate {sex} lists are okay. If we get upset with the idea that millions of people are going to see a list that details violent, hate-driven sex acts against women, its our fault because the intent was misunderstood. Violent, hate-driven acts, sexually or otherwise, are blatantly wrong. To promote them, tongue-in-cheek or otherwise, is morally decrepit.

Saying a Governor of a state looks like a "slutty flight attendant" is okay, as long as she is conservative. Saying her daughter, 14 years old, would probably get knocked-up by A-Rod is okay. The girl, though not a public figure herself, is the offspring of a conservative, so guilt by association. Sorry, Willow, because we hate your mom's ideals and principles and the fact that your mom married one man, is happy, has 5 kids, and a career, AND IS CONSERVATIVE, we are going to call you and your older sister a whore. And it is okay. If we get mad, its our fault for misunderstanding. (Letterman did apologize, but a week too late and not out of sincerity, but out of pressure.)

A US Soldier is gunned down by a hate-mongering Muslim in front of a crowded shopping center in Arkansas. We will bury that story behind the guinea pig in Rhode Island that recycles soda cans. No need to admit that the hate spewed by Democratic Congressmen and people like Olbermann might have inspired and further motivated the hate that led to the killing. Hell, it was just an American Soldier. We only care if they are killed in Iraq because we can blame it directly on George Bush. (I know I am not alone in that I noticed the giddy manner in which the networks had a countdown to the various 'milestones. Almost 1,000 dead! Almost!!! Almost 3,000!!!! Almost 4,000!!!)

Even the bowing-before-other-leaders, friends-to-unrepentant-terrorists, friend-and-business-associate-of-convicted-criminals-like-Rezko, spend-tax-dollars-like-a-spoiled-rich-girl-with-daddy's-stolen-credit-card, power-mongering, fear-mongering, but charismatic President Obama is directly pushing the hate. Throughout the campaign, he spent more time directly attacking Sean Hannity than giving details on how he was going to pay for his proposals. He continued his focus on attacking Fox News earlier today when, during an interview, he lamented on the fact that a "certain network" spends all day "attacking" his administration. He said you can watch all day and not see a positive story about Obama. Well, sad to say, originally crafted, the media and the press were designed to be an outlet to control the government by spreading the truth to the people. There is not, nor ever should be, a quota on positive stories about a President's administration. To suggest that a network should include positive stories means two things: he is for control of the media because he does not appreciate opposing voices, and that he, as the leader of the free world, spends a lot of time focusing on the media and what Fox News has to say. Shouldn't he be doing more important things?

Wait...perhaps he needs to watch MORE TV. Might keep him occupied so he cannot ruin any more of my country.

America....WAKE UP!

We are quickly entering into the development of the Orwellian society depicted in "1984." Big Brother is on its way. The government already runs the banks, the mortgage and loan industry, the car industry, and, coming soon to a socialist government near you, HEALTH CARE!.

WAKE UP!

2010 might be the last chance we have to save our nation.

I Met a Hero Today.

At the outlet mall today, I met a true hero.

I met a man with the honor, strength, and courage that even the most legendary heroes of lore would pale in comparison.

I met a man with the humility and humbleness of the greatest underdog characters in your favorite stories.

This man stood tall and proud...yet he is currently confined to a wheelchair.

His ailment came courtesy of an enemy attack. The hero rides, son in lap, in a wheelchair decorated in stickers of favorite rock bands and other statements of normalcy. Oh, and let us also notice the patch embroidered the back of his chair. The patch states that this strong, courageous, heroic, yet humble and proud hero has been awarded the Purple Heart.

I met a Purple Heart recipient.

I met and talked with a man who risked his life for me. He, like thousands others, is a parent, sibling, child, cousin, friend, and relative to many people in his life. They all put so much on the line for you and me.

This man, whose name I do not know, put his life on the line for me, a name he does not know.

So many Americans forget these people. They walk past them in a hurried rush as they have to get to the next store or meeting or where ever they are heading. They make a tight passing move round the slow-moving wheelchair, sometimes even with an audible sigh of frustration, making sure the driver of the chair on wheels knows that they have somehow inconvenienced you by simply being.

This man, with his young wife and son, were out at the outlet mall, doing what normal people take for granted. Enjoying a day in decent weather under the blanket of freedom his sacrifice helped knit. Hundreds of faces he may never see again passing by, ignorant of his sacrifice. The nameless masses taking for granted the freedoms his, and so many others', sacrifices have provided since the 1700s.

As I spoke briefly, not wanting to impose on a family day out, but long enough to make sure I let him know I was sincere, he spoke with humility and pride, decency and not a hint of pessimism. He told me he had gotten blown up and that is how his leg came to be in a full-length brace, confining him to his chair. I offered condolences and apologies, which were shrugged off, as if I were offering condolences for a bug-bite. I wished a full-recovery on his leg, to which he responded that he will probably lose the leg from mid-calf. He said it without a twinge of self-pity, fear, or negativity. It was as if he were telling me he was going to have to shave. No big deal. It happens.

Here is a young man, even younger than me, with a family, who risked life and limb, literally, for America. And he will have to pay the price of losing a large portion of his right leg. And he talks about it dismissively, showing that amazing and inspiring combination of courage and humility that can only be found in the American Soldier.

I left feeling uplifted and proud to be an American. I met the REAL soldier. Not the pranksters the media still plasters all over from Abu Garhib. Not the bold-faced lies of people like John Kerry, John Murtha and others, who have called out soldiers "terrorists" and "rapists" and "pillagers" and "murderers."

I met a real hero today. And I thanked him. I hope you will thank one of our heroes when you have the chance.

UN-Fairness Doctrine

Making small, but ever-growing waves within the American political machine is the ideal of the "Fairness Doctrine." Sounds nice on the surface, but what does it really mean?

The "Fairness Doctrine" is a govenment policy that forces the FCC to monitor the airwaves and make sure that broadcast radio gives fair time to both the left and right wing philosophies. Basically, the govenment will ensure that every radio program will give 50-50 time to both sides of the political aisle.

Sounds good...but, as wil every other Democrat-inspired idea, one must look below the surface.

Notice, first, that the Fairness Doctrine does nothing to monitor or police the broadcast airwaves of television, nor the print media. The Fairness Doctrine is going after the only media that has even a chance of carrying a right-wing bias.

Anyone with even the slightest sense of objectivity and reality can tell you the television media (with the exception of the right-of-center Fox News Channel) is very much on the left-wing. The "newspaper of record" The New York Times is as left as the Huffington Post, Al Franken, and Al Gore combined. Yet, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and the New York Times would not fall prey to the Fairness Doctrine. Just Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Neil Boortz, Dave Ramsey, Michael Savage, Curtis Sliwa, John Gibson, and the other INDIVIDUAL broadcasters who voice a dissenting opinion from the left. Notice this, also...the Fairness Doctrine would affect only individuals who have worked hard to achieve success in the broadcast media. This doctrine would use their hard work and success to force a different opinion on the air.

This Doctrine mentions nothing about the free market in which Air (or Err) America has utterly failed. Liberals have as much right and freedom to broadcast their message on radio. The problem is, no one wants to listen.

So, now, the Democrats want to impose limits on the conservatism of a show and force liberal opinions to be heard.

Let's look at it from this perspective...

You spend years perfecting a secret sauce for your burgers. You become a world-reknowned burger joint. People come in droves to enjoy your burgers because they love them. Your burger reigns supreme to all others.

Then, the government sees that your burger is drowning out McDonald's, Burger King, and even Red Robin. These three national joints have friends in Washington, DC, in the White House and Congress. Suddenly, there is a "Fairness Doctrine" for burgers. You must now sell your product and allow McDonald's, Burger King, and Red Robin equal time on your grills to sell their products.

Instead of selling your burgers at your joints on your equipment 100% of the time, all of which was built 100% on your hours of work, suddenly, because some beauracrat bought the line from lobbyists, you must give up 50% of everything you've worked for to be "fair."

This, my friends, is the "Fairness Doctrine." Punishing the successful. Taking away from people who have worked hard to give to people who have failed. This is the Democrat way. This is the "Stimulus Package" for the airwaves. Taking from those who work and earn and are successful, and giving to failure after failure after failure.

The "Fairness Doctrine" is nothing short of CENSORSHIP. Silencing voices. Killing the opposition. Clearing the playing field. The "Fairness Doctrine" is Big Brother...and 1984 might be about 25 years late.

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....

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?

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!

11-4-08...The Saddest Day in Black American History

In the 1960's, the honorable Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., marched and preached. He fought and tried to lead Black Americans to a better day and time. He wanted to lead Black America to a brighter, better future. As he said, he wanted people to be "judged by the content of their character," and not "by the color of their skin."

Sadly, since an assassin's bullet ended Dr. King's life, Black America has lost their way.

Black America has few Black Americans who are truly leading their culture. The only leaders in the Black Community who get respect are those that cow-tow and humble themselves at the alter of Liberal Whites.

Liberal Whites are concerned with Black people only at election time. They promote the idea that Blacks are unable to succeed in life only because of Conservative Whites. Liberal Whites use Black Americans that will spew the same nonsensical garbage that they are. Black people are only a tool that Liberals use to get power, then forget about until election time.

It is so sad the fact that a man like Dr. King was assassinated. I truly think his death hurt America, black and white, more deeply than we can fathom. I wish Dr. King had lived and young black people for the last 2 or 3 generations could have truly learned what this man was REALLY about.

Dr. King would not support an insulting measure like Affirmative Action. To him, a man that was about character and decency and work ethic, Affirmative Action, the idea that a person of color was given a position, job, or perk simply because of their color, and not based 100% on merit and success, Dr. King would have been appalled at the idea.

Affirmative Action cut the legs out from under so many good, hard-working black people, as well as people of different ethnicities. Affirmative Action helped re-solidify racial divides. So many whites felt, and quite a few justifiably-so, that their work and success was made worthless when a person of a different race was competing for the same thing. Furthermore, many blacks who did, in fact, clearly earn their spot were categorized as an "affirmative action" success, instead of being credited with earning the spot. Affirmative Action deleted so much of a hard-working African American's efforts.

Affirmative Action was the biggest insult to African Americans, and the Liberals and Democrats laughed all the way back to their offices in D.C.

Fast forward to 2008. This is the year the Civil Rights Movement took a big punch to the gut. This is the year a man was elected courtesy of Affirmative Action.

Barack Hussein Obama was not elected on merit, ability, or track record. He was not elected for having a real plan for bettering our country. Barack Hussein Obama did not EARN his way to becoming President of the United States.

He was given the job to meet an ugly quota.

No one on the Republican side of the ticket even hinted at the fact that Obama was different looking. They never even brought up his middle name. John McCain went over and above the normal call of duty to ensure that there were no possible way his campaign could be called racist.

The only people that wanted to make sure you knew he was black were Obama himself, and the rest of the Democratic Party. Black law makers from South Carolina to New York and California, and everywhere in between, made sure to point out that Barack was black. Black law makers in the south even called McCain and Sarah Palin racists and compared them to segregationalist George Wallace.

James Carville, among other leading Democratic/Liberal mouthpieces, threatened and warned of riots in the streets, should Obama lose. Black leaders said a vote against Obama was a vote for racism. Time and time again, the CLEAR message, from Barack and the Democrats, was that not voting for the black guy made you a racist.

I work with children for a living. The evidence of this ideal, that voting against Obama was a racially motivated act, came to me tonight at the mall. I was shopping with some of my youth, and one noticed a t-shirt, one that I would have purchased if I could find my size. The t-shirt read: Don't Blame Me...I voted for John McCain.

The youth I was standing with noticed the shirt, then remarked, "Oh, my gosh!!! This is terrible! Look at this really racist t-shirt! What a racist thing to say!"

The 8th grade boy, who is a red-headed white boy, was incensed that such a t-shirt was being sold. He truly believed that the shirt was racist.

This young boy got the message, even if adults refuse to acknowledge it.

Obama was elected because people were made to feel guilty, and feel that they HAD to vote for the guy simply because he was black, and they did not want to feel like a bigot.

Affirmative Action just elected us a President. When he fails, and he will fail, it will be the biggest setback to the Civil Rights Movement since Dr. King was killed.

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.
