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.

Health Care Reform Update

If you, no matter which side you support, would take time and listen to the pundits and the politicians weigh in on this topic, and would consider both sides without bias, it is clear which side is correct in this matter.

Before I explain why I think one side is correct and the other side is destructlively wrong, let me pose a series of questions. These are rhetorical, but if you would like to leave a comment with your answer, please feel free.

1) When has the US Government EVER created a series of programs and beauracrasies that made the government larger, but more efficient?

2) Do you REALLY think that giving the IRS more jurisdiction and power is a good thing for the American family?

3) How much money should successful people be made to forfeit in the name of redistribution?

4) Why do people that don't work and don't strive deserve to be taken care of off the backs of the people who do work?

5) If the bill was so fantastic and so wonderful, why the talk of circumventing rules and procedures to cram it through?

6) How in the world is a federal government takeover of the student loan program, taking the power to lend away from banks and private institutions (except one) part of health care reform?

Just some questions to ponder.

Now back to the opening ideas of this post. Let us look at the arguements for and against this plan. Look at the differences in the wording of the responses of each side. This is where I confirmed my belief that this fiasco is going to destroy our country, and not from Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, or even Mark Levin.

As I read and watched the arguements from both sides, I found a trend and a pattern. This pattern showed me which side was telling us the truth and which side was using strange forms of double-talk straigh out of Orwell.

On one side, you have people citing facts and programs actually in the bill. They explain how the downside of the plans in the bill will potentially destroy the economy, kill jobs, and potentially kill the very people the bill is advertised to save. This side speaks in facts, reality, and with a passion for our country.

On the other side, you will hear a lot of platitudes and wishful thinking. You have leaders in the Congress selling the plan as a way for struggling artists, writers, and musicians to quit their jobs they keep for insurance benefits and pursue their dreams. It is a way for potential entreprenures to quit day jobs and eliminate the risks to their families of being uninsured. They talk in lofty dreams and utopian ideas. They talk about how there is only one way to fix the problems in the health care system, meanwhile ignoring some of the biggest problems that are really there. They will tax everything under the sun, except for things they like, such as the Botox tax and taxes on plastic surgery. Despite the political alliance with the American Medical Association, which is just a political group and not an actual representation of medical personnel, actual doctors are not involved in the bill. Lawyers are. There is no tort reform included because why would lawyers limit their own income streams?

As any person will tell you, our system has flaws and does need some work. We need to find a way to lower the cost of an Aspirin in a hospital from $50 a pill. Band-aids need to cost less than $25. Yet, this bill will do the opposite. Costs for the average person will skyrocket.

This bill disallows the practices of insurance companies denying pre-existing conditions. However, it does nothing to protect the insurance company from abuse. Let's say you have no insurance but have a heart attack. Your spouse can call and purchace insurance en route to the hospital to cover the ambulance ride and the treatment for the heart attack. And the insurance company would have to, by law, cover you. I am sure that will lower insurance costs, right?

This bill will also force, legally arm-twist, all Americans into purchasing insurance. There are many people who prefer to pay out of pocket for services instead of deal with the hassle of filing claims and et cetra. For a relatively healthy person, it's more cost effective to pay $2000-$4000 in medical bills on the rare occasion they need services, than to pay $750-$1000+ a month every year, plus their deductibles and co-pays. There will be fines levied against those who do not purchase a government approved plan.

Which brings me to my next concern. What the heck is a "government approved plan?" Some group of senators, along with their lobbyists and SEIU friends, are going to determine what qualifies as an "approved" plan? What if my current plan doesn't meet their arbitrary standards? Do I have to change it, despite Obama's repeated promises that if I am happy, I can keep my plan? If a body of people cannot efficiently get a letter from West Virginia to Virginia, cannot find an efficient way to bill and receive taxes, and cannot find a way to market the census without wasting millions to hire Ed Begley and create a SUPERBOWL ad, I just cannot believe they will find a way to create a fair and efficient mandate on what makes for a "government approved insurance plan."

This bill is so far-reaching and creates so many beauracrasies. It grows our federal government exponentially. It will make everyone who purchases insurance see huge spikes in their rates. It will force companies to drop benefits packages because it will be too expensive. This bill will force the single-payer option on us because it is designed to bankrupt every single insurance company out there. Once the government is completely in control of health care, as Obama and many democrats have said is their end goal, then there is no going back. This bill will force our country into the same failing health system that Canada, the UK, and Cuba have. People will die sooner waiting for the most basic of needs. Minorities will see a drastic decline in their numbers because the most resources will be sent to the higher priority neighborhoods. This bill will KILL AMERICA.

Health Care Fiasco

First, let me say that I agree 100% that our health care system needs reform and adjustments. There are definitely gaps and problems within the system. However, we have the GREATEST system on Earth, hands down. The well-to-do in countries like England and Canada (you know, the places who already have government-run health care) fly HERE for basic to drastic medical needs. Why?

So, here is my problem with what is going on in DC regarding health care bills. First, the sheer mass of the bills. In the House of Representatives, over 1,800 pages. In the Senate, over 2,000 pages. How in the world, in a matter of a couple of weeks, can anyone in Congress know what in the world they are voting on? There is no way to completely understand the consequences of their actions, yet they forge through without regard for their careers, the American people, and the future of the nation.

One major issue I have with Obama and the Democrats' plan is that they claim the plan will be deficit neutral. How? By cutting billions of dollars in waste in Medicare, Medicaid, and other government-run programs. Really? You need to sign the check to spend that money before you have actually cut the waste? You need to pass a massive spending bill before you will act to cut waste? Why can't the government cut that waste now???

Next, is the issue of abortion. I am not for abortion. At no time. The only time I can see abortion as allowable is if there is a certainty that both the mother and child will die unless the pregnancy is aborted. If there is no other way to save the mother and the baby will not survive no matter what, then I can see the moral argument to abort. However, drive-thru abortions, abortions to cover for an affair or a one-night-stand, teens covering up their own stupidity, and other such birth-control related purposes are nothing short of murder. I believe in Pro-Choice. If you choose to have sex, you choose to live with the moral, ethical, emotional, and physical consequences.

That being said, Harry Reid will not stop until my tax dollars pay for abortions. I absolutely refuse to allow my tax dollars to be used to murder innocent babies. People like Planned Parenthood and their ilk are sick. Abortion is murder. Tax dollars to support this murder is a travesty, and it will be in the bill, despite any claims of an amendment included in the House.

Next, how can the government mandate you purchase an approved insurance program? Where in the US Constitution (you know, the founding document that defines the powers the government, the same document the Democrats routinely ignore and walk all over) does the federal government have the power to force individuals to purchase insurance? Obama promised that if you like your coverage and like your doctor, nothing will change. Hmmm...so what defines government approved insurance coverage? Can anyone voting on this massive spending bill tell me that?

After that, no one has answered the question in a straight-forward manner: will the language in the final bill force jail-time for those individuals refusing to purchase insurance? Will there be jail time for business owners who will not/cannot afford to provide the mandated insurance for all employees? Jail for not being able to afford, or choosing not to purchase, insurance...yes or no? Still no answer on that.

Next, and most importantly from an economic standpoint, the forcing of ALL businesses to provide insurance to ALL employees. From the mom and pop store with 3 employees through Wal-Mart, every employee must be covered. Oh, yeah, this will drive down the unemployment rate. I am sure that Joe-Bob and Sally-Sue Jenkins and their Nickel and Dime Pop Shop will be able to pay their employees the ever-increasing minimum wage AND insurance, every employee from the retiree stocking the shelves 15 hours a week to the high school junior studying Chemistry in-between customers at the register. The pop shop will have to purchase insurance for their employees. Not just insurance, but government approved insurance. I am sure Joe-Bob and Sally-Sue can afford to run their business and purchase insurance for all of their employees. Yeah, small businesses won't be hurt at all. Employers can afford this program without cutting jobs, oh yeah.

This health care fiasco does nothing to lower costs, the deficit, or cover everyone as promised. It is just a massive power-grab and spending bill. The issues of sky-rocketing malpractice insurance, the frivolous lawsuits, and other wasteful and cost-driving issues are no where to be found on the agenda. REAL reform is ignored, and in its stead is a bunch of gobbledy-gook and spending.

So, for the people than bankrupted Medicare and Social Security, partially because they opened the check books for illegal immigrants that never paid into the system, they are about to take over 20% of the nation's economy. I am sure they won't screw THIS one up...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Where is the outrage? What happened to change? Transparency? A New Ethics?

In less than a month and a half, Barack Obama and his buddies in the Congress have done nothing but spend, spend, take a small breather to talk about spending, then sign more bills to spend.

Obama's own economic team says the Recession will be over within a year. Yet, this unread-before-passed $800 BILLION stimulus bill was thrust upon us. And in the rush to pass this gargantuan spending package, more than half of the money approved isn't going to be spent until AFTER 2010. Yes folks, a year after even Obama's own economic team predict that the recession will be over, more than half of the money that is supposedly designed to fix the recession will be spent after it is OVER.

Hmmm...

When are we going to stand up and say STOP.

Our children...our children's children...our children's children's children...our children's children's children's children...will still be paying off the debt accumulated in the last 40 days.

What happened to survival of the fittest? These Liberals are always pushing for evolution education...why not support the practice of evolution and let the weakest businesses and banks in the herd die?

It is amazing how much money is being wasted...and sadly, it is more amazing, and angering, that there is no real outrage.

Where is the common sense? Why do we buy into Obama's fear mongering so wholeheartedly and completely ignore instinct and common sense?

I am just absolutely scared of what this administration is doing, and what they are going to do. And Americans are strangely silent.

Do you realize what is happening? Do you really understand what is going on in DC? If you aren't outraged, you must not know. Or, if you do know, then you are ignorant of what is best of our country.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THINK FOR YOURSELF.
