European Socialism Spending Bill of 2009

Are you serious?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Would you sign the papers for that car?

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

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

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

Victory is within our grasp...and they cannot stand it!

Oprah, MSNBC, The New York Times, John Stewart, MTV, and anyone else who does not work at Fox News are all flustered over the new look of the campaign.

Barack Hussein Obama is spending his campaign time and money trying to attack the VICE Presidential Candidate from the other ticket. He is not focused on John McCain, but Sarah Palin.

Where is Joe Biden?

It's like the left wing media and all the crazy kool-aid drinkers in the Obama campaign (Actually, that is all one-in-the-same..) are pitting the lone gun Obama versus McCain and Palin. Biden does no factor in the match up at all right now.

Sarah Palin has changed the campaign, the Republican party, and our country. She is a woman of integrity, small-town values, work ethic, and family. She is the epitome of what the women's movement CLAIMED to be about, yet the so-called leaders of the women's movement are attacking Palin as well.

America is starting to wake up and smell the cow droppings. The country is starting to see how the media operates. We all see that true journalism is dead, with the exception of Bill O'Reilly, of course.

The democrats have given up on running on issues. They are running on the new platform of "Sarah Palin is bad news! We can prove it once we find the dirt!"

They attempted to destroy her family and drag a non-public figure into the muck. Oh, yeah, and that non-public figure is a 17-year-old girl dealing with the pressures of adolecence as well as an unplanned pregnancy. They could not beat Sarah Palin, a 44-year-old Governor, so they attempted to destroy Bristol Palin, a teenager.

Oprah is very disappointing, yet, at the same time, not a surprise. Oprah risked her reputation by becoming very supportive and vocal for Barack Obama. She allowed him two appearances on her show. The claim is that it was before he announced that he was going to run for President, but anyone with half a brain knew that the appearances on Oprah were to make him more of a household name for when he would announce.

So, Oprah denies Sarah Palin, a family and career woman, the brightest example of the success of feminism in the last 10 years, the chance to introduce herself to millions of women just like her. The interview could be geared away from politics and simply allow the world to meet Sarah Palin. Instead, Oprah took a weak way out of it and refuses to allow Sarah Palin the appearance until after the election.

Rush Limbaugh said it, and this is not a racist or biggoted statement. It is merely an observation. I agree with the assessment, and think it is worth mentioning. Oprah has obviously and publicly chosen her race over her gender. For nearly 30 years she has made billions of dollars by acting as a woman's woman, a leader for women everywhere. Her entire career is built on her being a proponent of women's issues. Her race never mattered because she was a woman who transcended all barriers. Yet, in the one time she gets involved in politics, she chooses her race over her gender in not bringing in Sarah Palin.

So, the attacks against Palin will continue for 60 days or so. She will be attacked and questioned harder and more unfairly than you can imagine...certainly with more viciousness and intensity than Barack Obama has eve faced. And she will do it with her shoulders and head held high, and a smile on her face.

On November 4, 2008, I will proudly cast my vote for McCain-Palin. Their campaign is one of issues and solutions. The others are on a campaign of character assassination, empty promises, and naieve wishes.

McCain...GET ON YOUR HORSE!!!

Well, Mr. McCain, you are officially tied with The One.

You've taken a few stiff jabs, clean jabs, at your opponent, the Liberal Messiah.

It is time to take the gloves off, fight, and go full steam ahead on your campiagn. Obama is calling you and your campaign racist without legitimacy, reason, or proof. We all know that the alphabet networks are in the tank for Obama...stop being cordial.

Mr. McCain, it is time for the Republicans to unite. It is time for us to find ourselves and reclaim the nation away from the grips of the leftist elites.

2008 was supposed to be a politically bloody year for the right. It was to be a year in which Liberalism could claim a victory and the fatality of Conservatism. Conservatism was supposed to be on life support in November, with the liberals pulling the plug and letting us starve to death like Terri Schiavo (Another liberal victory granted by judges legislating from the bench).

The McCain campaign, like the Conservative movement, was supposedly written off for dead. Both have a chance to make the comeback of a lifetime. However, the inkling of momentum Republicans have right now might be our only shot to get over the hump and on the way to a victory.

However, Mr. McCain is playing too nice. He is too clean. He is too politically correct. He is too cordial.

Obama is happier than a pig in the rut to tell America that he is black. Fellow liberal blacks will claim a vote against Obama is a vote for racism. We all know you are above that mess, Mr. McCain. Now is the time you hammer home the differences between you and Obama that matter.

The differences that matter between McCain and Obama are simple, fundamental, and easily exploited. It is time for McCain to fire at will and take every open shot he can.

Look at all the differences. Obama wants to tax anyone making money, other than him, to oblivion. Obama wants the government to take care of every single want, need, and desire for every American from womb to tomb. Obama wants the government to regulate and control every aspect of our lives. Obama has no faith in Americans, he truly believes the government knows how to better run the lives of everyday people. Obama wants to talk and have tea and crumpets with the leaders of terrorist nations. He wants to make diplomacy the way of American foreign policy. He wants to tell the enemy when we are leaving town, so they can rest and wait until it is open season in Iraq. Obama wants the oil companies to start cutting checks to Americans to help them with the cost of energy, as opposed to finding more supply to meet the demand.

McCain, you are totally different. Yet, you are not doing a strong enough job of convincing America of this. Your message is not out there nearly enough in strong enough language.

It is time for McCain to take the GOP by the horns and guide us into November. It is time for all Republicans to revert back to our tried and true methods of success. It is time to stop cow-towing to the left to keep them involved. It is time to leave them in our dust and do what is right for America and our future.

The latest debacle by the left in Congress should be the ultimate turning point in the 2008 election. It is up to the GOP to take advantage of what we have going for us right this minute.

Or, are we going to sit back and give away this election? Like in 2006?

I'm Still a Guy...Part 2 of 2

These days, too many males are shirking their responsibilities as men. They are "men" when its time to get a girl naked, yet they run and bury their head in the sand the second their romp ends up in conception. Males are all but happy to perform the fun part with as many women who are naive enough to participate, yet there are so many biological fathers who run like a 4 year old from a broken lamp to shirk their responsibility.

Any male that is not a strong influence and role model for his children is not a man. No MAN has ever not accepted his duty as a father. Children need a man in their lives. It teaches boys how to be a man, and it teaches girls what a man should be like and what not to accept as a man in her life.

Children need a man in their lives as much as they need a woman. This is not sexist, this is fact. The man is just as influencial in a child's life as is a woman. For balance, security, role-modelling, and structure, a child need its father as much, and in some areas, more than, the mother. However, not just any male can be a father. A father has to be a MAN. A man has to be a stallwart and a person in which children can hold high esteem.

The character of a real man is based in responsiility. A man finds and provides food, shelter, security, and stability for his family. Sometimes, this can involve a woman's help, either financially through her work, or in other ways. However, it is a natural instinct for the man to be the breadwinner. A man needs to be responsible for ensuring a warm plate of food on the table, a sturdy roof overhead, a safe place in which to live and eat, and a strong environment in which the family can grow and prosper.

A man's responsibility is also to model God-fearing, God-serving, and Christ-like practices in all that he does. A boy will watch his father more intently than imaginable in those early formitive years. It is the man's responsibility to model appropriate behavior for the son to model, as well as for the daughter to become accustomed to so that she seeks the same in her mate later on in life.

No MAN has ever hit a woman. Re-read that statement. No one who is a man has ever laid his hands on a woman in a violent manner. If you hit a woman, you are not a man. If you strike anyone in any manner other than legitimate self-defense, you are not a man. No bully can also be a man.

A man must love his wife and his family without equivocation or doubt. The man must devote himself to the happiness and security of his wife and children. The way in which he treats his wife is going to be, in most cases, the way the son treats his wife in the future. If a man loves, honors, and respects his wife, his son will do the same. Just as importanly, his daughter will expect the same and not settle for less. The converse is true as well. If a man disrespects, cheats on, or otherwise does not appreciate his wife, his children will mimmick the behavior in their relationships.

So, to all members of the male species, it is time to reassert ourselves. It is time to fight the feminization of our kind and take our rightful places as real, big, hairy, stinky, sweaty, competitive, risk-taking men. It is time to show all these little boys what a man REALLY is...

If I Were Running for President, Part 5 of 5

The biggest problem facing Republicans in this election season is the lack of focus and planning. Republicans, or, really, all conservatives, are too busy trying to be all things to all people all the time. Instead, they need to come together and focus on their message and agenda.

In the last few blogs, I have investigated my agenda were I running for President in 2008. However, these blogs would also outline my agenda were I running for US or State Congress.

Yet, it is only mouthpieces like my blogs, conservative blogs throughout the world, and conservative radio like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity that are voicing such an agenda.

No one in the Republican Party is voicing an agenda or a focused plan. There is not one leader in the party that is defining what conservatives are going to be running on for 2008. There is not one leader in the party. Everyone is running in a thousand different directions.

This varied mindset and distracted party is why we have a psuedo-Democrat as our Presidential nominee. This is why Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson and other such conservatives are sitting this one out. The Republican party has weakened due to its strength. In 2004, Republicans had the world on a string...we could have done so much good the last four years, but we spent too much time working with the left that we drifted left.

If I were running for office, I would set forth a solid, focused, unmistakable agenda for my campiagn. I would make sure the world and the voting public knew what I stood for and what I planned to do in office. From the Presidential nominee all the way down to Atlanta City Dog Catcher, Republican candidates are in a murky mess as to what their campaigns are standing for.

For me, and anyone who is truly conservative, the agenda is the following. I would work toward these 5 goals:

1) We must become independent of other nations for our energy resources. We have our own abundant resources and it is time to invest time, money, and tax breaks to American companies to tap into those resources with the least amount of environmental impact.

2) We must continue to be on the offensive to continue to live in a safe and secure nation. We must WIN the war on terror.

3) We must secure our borders and make sure that people coming into this country are legal and have a right to be here. In that, we must work to clean out the current illegals in our nation.

4) We must make permanent the Bush Tax cuts and work toward the fair tax.

5) We must not allow judges to legislate from the bench on any court. Judges are appointed to interpret the laws of the land as they currently are, and not to create new meanings for laws for political reasons. We must appoint judges who will uphold the law, not create it.

Those are my five major platforms. Those platforms need to be the agenda for the Republican party if we have any hope in November. Not only do we need this hope for the Oval Office, but also for every elected office up for grabs this year.

Yet, Republicans are too quiet, too muttled, and too off-base to have a set of ideals. Time is winding down. Republicans are called the RIGHT wing for a reason...it is time we live up to it.

If I Were Running for President, Part 3 of 5

In my efforts to fix the vicious cycle of problems with the skyrocketing costs of energy and also the costs of basic needs, one problem can be solved with nothing more than the official swipe of the President's pen.

There is a problem that most everyone on the Democratic side of the aisle will never talk about. This problem is single-handedly causing the costs of energy, food, and clothing to rise. This problem is nothing more than a liberal program that cuts huge tax-funded checks to already successful corporate farms.

I am talking about these ridiculous Ethanol subsidies.

Huge corporate farms are getting major checks from the government to produce Ethanol, a corn-based product, to steer our country towards some semblence of energy independence.

Instead, the good-on-paper idea has backfired in immense proportions. More corn is going to fuel each season, meaning less is going to the food supply. This creates a surplus of demand, which, as anyone who knows anything about economics, causes prices to climb. The more people who need your product, the more they have to compete for your product. How do buyers compete for products? Pay more!

So, the food supply is hit because corn is now being used as gasoline. This means that the cost of corn is going up. Not only do humans eat corn, but chickens, cows, and pigs consume corn. This raises the cost of raising those animals, which is then passed on to consumers who eat poultry, beef, dairy, and pork products.

Then, since the cost of corn is going up, that cost is forcing the cost of Ethanol up. Since most gasoline sold today has ethanol in it, this means the cost of gas is also rising.

It's a vicious cycle that can be deleted and ease the financial suffering on most American, as well as international, families.

These government grant programs like Ethanol subsidies sound outstanding in a 5 second soundbite on TV. However, seeing how negatively it is impacting our economy, it is time to repeal these subsidies.

If I Were Running for President, Part 2 of 5

In this second installment of what I would run on in the 2008 election, let me address the War on Terror.

Many people, even the staunchest supporters of the effort, are starting to emotionally and intellectually fatigue on the war. It is a sad, but true, statement on the attention span of our nation.

In the early to mid 1900's, we fought in two World Wars, two wars-to-end-all-wars. There were days, even moments, where more lives were lost in these wars than the current total casualties in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts combined. I have blogged previously about how there are many similarities in the enemy we are fighting now and the enemies of the two World Wars. Yet, the support and patriotism from the homefront is waining, and its not because of the lack of success of the effort.

The reason we are mentally fatigued on this two-pronged war is the news coverage. I am not talking liberal bias, although that is a factor, but I am referring to the fact that we are in a constant barrage of war coverage. We are a society that lacks true commitment, dedication, and sticktoitiveness. We have a national ADD. We need 500 channels to flip through and can't sit through 2 minutes of commercials. We get tired of a show after a few seasons and stop watching it.

The thing is, we were attacked in 1993 on the World Trade Center, in the mid-1990's on two American Embassies in Africa, and in 2000 on the USS Cole. We were then suckerpunched on 9/11/01. We have been at war for 15 years with Al Queada and Usama Bin Laden...we just didn't start fighting back until 2001.

We gave Al Queada an 8+ year running start to build their network of violence and tyrrany. We are catching up and making progress, but we have to stay on the offensive. We have to stay in Iraq to continue to draw the efforts of Iran, Syria, and Al Queada there as opposed to here. We have to stay in Afghanistan to keep Usama Bin Laden on the run. No longer can we worry about the length of the job, we must worry about getting the job done.

As a candidate, I would plesge my undying support to the men and women of the United States' armed forces, as well as the men and women who make up our allied forces. I would see to it they had the tools necessary to fight the good fight. I would make sure the leaders of the armed forces took the utmost care in preventing civilian casualties. I would also make sure that the successes of our military would be trumpeted as loudly as the casualties.

It sickens me to watch how there is a countdown on some media outlets everytime the death toll reaches some milestone. It made my soul cringe watching Matt Lauer and Katie Couric and Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews gleefully count the death toll to the 1,000 milestone several years ago. There is an umistakeable, twisted joy with anti-war TV personalities whenever the casualties reach the next 1000 or 500 mark.

Yet, they will not tell the good news. You have to talk to the troops coming home or via email to get the good news. That is sad.

As President, I would constantly trumpet the successes of our troops. I would not fail them and would not allow Congress to play with their funding as they did in 2007. I would not allow a deadline to be instituted. I would not allow a US departure from either front until the job was done.

I'm the right person...any questions you have are slanderous attacks!!!

Wow...what a joke.

Hillary and O-BOMB-A are on their way to making the whole democratic party a joke.

The latest Presidential Debacle...I mean Debate...shows just how inept both democratic candidates are, how sad and desperate their supporters and campaigns are getting, and just how much of a landslide Senator John McCain can win by.

Two normally biased, left-wing television journalists in Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos decided to be REAL journalists and ask REAL questions, trying to give both Hillary and O-BOMB-A a chance to show the record audience who is most qualified. The answer is neither one. Both Democratic candidates flubbed and flopped and looked like a 5 year old clinging to the barrier rope in a pool as they try to swim on the deep end.

Then, instead of smacking themselves in the forehead like in the V8 commercials, O-BOMB-A supporters are outraged at Gibson and Stephanopoulos for asking harsh questions.

Excuse me?

Asking about Reverend Wright and this terrorist Ayers character are harsh, unfair questions?

Huh?

The same people outraged at those questions applauded when Mitt Romney was grilled about his Mormon faith and whether he had "relations" with his wife prior to marriage. Yet, asking about O-BOMB-A's relationships to, first, a racist, bigoted, anti-American precher who acts as a Presidential candidtate's spiritual advisor, and, second, to a known and admitted terrorist in Ayers, is somehow out of bounds.

This isn't someone interviewing to clean port-a-potties. This is a Congressman who wants to lead the free world. Any association with a racist anti-American preacher and a terrorist needs to be completely vetted, revetted, and then, for the hell of it, re-examined. Any questions a journalist asks about this issue is fair game and is a necessity if this man wants to be President.

Yet, Democrats are showing what most people with common sense already knew. O-BOMB-A is absolutely NOT qualified to be in the White House as a visitor, much less President.

Then, I could go on for years on how un-qualified Hillary is. But, we know that. Appearantly she only answers phones at 3 am. Perhaps its because she had to stay up late all those years in Little Rock, and then again in D.C., waiting for Bill to come home from his affairs.

Let us not forget the blatant lies she has told. Ducking sniper fire in Bosnia? This was no slip of the tongue or accidental misremembering of facts. She told this story of getting fired upon by snipers on THREE occasions...and was proven to be blatantly false.

One minute Hillary was a co-president for eight years, the next she was only a consultant, the next she was no where near the Oval Office. It just depends on the situation and whether or not it was a success.

Its truly sad that there are two people who truly want to be GIVEN the office of President. I do mean GIVEN. They do not want to earn it. They do not want to prove their character and abilities. They do not want to answer the tough questions. They do not want anything from their past inspected. They want the world to take their word. They have no real backbone nor any real leadership abilities.

Based on their campaigns, a man who leads his church's slow-pitch league in batting average and homeruns and constantly tells of how he has been hitting homeruns since little league, even though there is no real evidence to back up those stories, deserves to be the top pick in the major league draft. No questions asked. No minor league success needed. Put him in the line up for the Yankees tomorrow. He deserves it. He can't prove his worthiness, just take his word for it and give him the spot.

All John McCain has to do is sit back and watch and let the two inept Democrats tear each other apart for the next two months.

Additionally, I wanted to add the following statement...

Thank you, Mr. Limbaugh for Operation Chaos...its working BRILLIANTLY!!!!

CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE!!!

Change!

CHANGE!

It's time for CHANGE!

ChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChange ChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChange ChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChangeChange

There, my friends, is the entire campaign of any of the three leading Democrats for the Presidency. Oh, that, and "Bush sucks."

It's pretty sad that for three straight elections, the Democrats are tryingt o campaign against George W. Bush. The sad part is the realization that Bush cannot and is not running this go around. Yet, that's all you hear...other than the promise of change.

What change do they mean? Let us explore.

CHANGE= Higher taxes for everybody. The top 5% income earners pay over 60% of the tax revenue...which is a higher percentage than at any time during any Democratic, high-tax era. You hear the Dems crying that the rich pay too little in taxes...yet they are paying more than 60% of the revenue...How much to the rich need to pay? Do the rich need to pay until they become non-rich? Hmmm...sounds like Socialism/Communism to me...

CHANGE= Stifling a growing economy. How often do you hear good news about the economy? NEVER. However, the fact of the matter, with the exception of gas prices, everything in our economy is doing solidly well. Unemployment has been at near-record lows most of the last 6 years. The stock market is still on the rise...there are modest corrections every so often, but the market is doing well.

CHANGE= Terrorist attacks on American people and property. 1993-2000 we saw attacks on the World Trade Center, American Embassies in Africa, and the attack on the USS Cole...during this administration, we have had one while the terrorists have attacked more liberally-run nations and not made a successful attempt on our interests...

CHANGE= Amnesty for illegal aliens. A Democrat President will open the borders and forgive the millions of law-breakers who reside in our country ILLEGALLY.

CHANGE= More government involvement in your daily lives. All you hear is how the government will provide this and do that under the Democrats...they are going to pay for it all by taxing the rich into oblivion...and the non-rich will eventually live under Big Brother and have to seek government permission on when to pee and what to wear to work.

Wow. I hope everyone goes out and votes for a Democrat government. George Orwell's 1984 was only off by maybe 25 years....

2008 Tournament for the Oval Office

In watching this race, I am not quite sure where to start.

First, let me talk about the Iowa winners: Governor Huckabee and Senator Obama. I don't want either one to win the nomination.

For the GOP, I don't want Huckabee because he is too left-leaning to be a Conservative Republican. His track record and his belief system for making policy make him too easy to beat in a head-to-head race with the Democrats. He is setting himself up for the same fall that many Republican Congressmen did in 2006 by shifting towards the left on issues. The Democrats did not win in 2006, Republicans gave it all away. This is the year we restore order, and Huckabee just is not the man.

Rudy Guliani is not the man. He'd be a great leader of Congress as the Vice President, but he is not the true conservative we need at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Ron Paul's goofy self doesn't need to be considered, either.

John McCain is too much a wild card to be our conservative leader. He plays footsie with the left too much. He gets things proposed and written, but he gives up too much to get anything done. He'll give away the house to save the barn. He'll give away the land to save the crops. He is also someone the Democrats want to run against because he is a lot like them, and they think they can beat him.

There are two men who truly need to be considered to run on the Republican ticket, and it does not matter who is at the top of the ticket. I am talking about the Governor Mitt Romney and former Senator Fred Thompson. A Romney-Thompson ticket would be outstanding.

Romney won the governorship in a ultra-Liberal state. He led the way and he is a strong, fundamentally-sound leader. You could say that I am sMITTen with Mr. Romney as a candidate.

Fred Thompson is the one true sensible conservative. He has a very calm, collected, intelligent, and common-sensical way about him. He is not in the ankle-biting, backstabbing, and name calling that the rest of the field is in to. Thompson wants to focus on issues and on what we need to do to continue to grow our economy, protect our borders, and fight terrorism from taking innocent lives.

I would love to see Mr. Thompson take the lead with the young, upstart Romney in the number two spot. Eight years from now, we'll see Mr. Romney slide into the number one slot with, perhaps, former Virginia Governor George Allen make a political comeback in 2016? One unfortunate problem within the Republican party is that one potentially great presidential candidate has the wrong last name.

Jeb Bush did outstanding things in Florida. I would like to see the former governor take a crack at the White House in 2016, after an 8 year Thompson presidency.

On the other side, I want Hillary to win the nomination. She is beatable. Why? Because once she is exposed, people will realize that by the end of her first term, everyone in America will be handing their paychecks to the government and might get a weekly allowance back. I mean, where is the money for Universal Health Care, Universal Pre-K Education, Universal College Grants for Undocumented Workers, Universal Car Insurance, Universal Plastic Surgery Coverage, and every other plan she wants to just give away? I want to see Hillary win, because we can beat her.

I am scared of Obama and Edwards.

Especially Barak Hussein Obama. He is too much of an unknown. What do we know about him? What has he done in less than one term in the Senate to be qualified to run the world? Why is he so bent on keeping his Muslim beliefs under wraps (while the left fires attacks on Romney for being Mormon?)? We do not know enough about Obama and he has accomplished little to nothing in Congress to show him worthy of being President.

What has Edwards done? He was too young and inexperienced to be president in 2004, so what has he done the last four years? Edwards talks a good game, but he is nothing but a power-hungry lawyer. He is part of the reason for the high costs of health care. He sued doctors and hospitals with frivilous lawsuits to make a name for himself. He owns part of a company that has been foreclosing on Katrina victims. He is a money-hungry, power-hungry, spineless weasel that has accomplished nothing. He was so bad as a Congressman, that he dropped out of his reelection bid because he knew the residents of North Carolina were not going to reelect him.

So, with just under 300 days to go, I am looking forward to Mr. Thompson grabbing this bull by the horns and leading the GOP to victory. Right now he is waiting in the wings, letting Rudy and McCain and Romney take each other out, and when the dust is settled and we are ready to focus on issues, Mr. Thompson will take the lead.

It should be a fun ride!

Remembering 9/11 Six Years Later...

Everyone is posting stuff about remembering the victims and the families and everything, but, really, how many of us REALLY remember what 9-11 means?

If you watch the news, or, let's face it, it's really not news but actually nationally broadcast editorials posing as news, you see that they have forgotten what 9-11 means. If you look to many in Congress, they have forgotten what happened six years ago.

On the news, and I use the term loosely, you see constant focus on the loss of life in Iraq and the constant references to "another Vietnam," or "being stuck in a Civil War." The news uses the 9-11 anniversary as a theme to point fingers and create blame for the world's troubles. They exaggerrate the bad and totally down-play the positive. There is always a slant to the news now...the angle is always there to find a way to prove George W. Bush and the repulican congress failed. They say that Bin Laden is still alive. They say that al Qeada is still organizing and is "stronger than ever."

Judging by the tape released several days ago, Bin Laden looks like a beaten man. The whiny bully who has lost his iron-fist control of the neighborhood. His eyes looked tired...like those of a man who has been on the run for SIX YEARS. He is in such a dissheveled state, they had to import some grecian formula to try to make him look respectable...but dying your beard will only cover up the truth...Bin Laden is weak, tired, and has lost his strength physically and as a leader. Not to mention, his planned attack at Rammstein in Germany was foiled just days before his little home video came out.

If al Qeada is so much stronger, its because Iran is sending supplies into Iraq. So, with the power of Iran and Syria, and quite possibly Saudia Arabia and Russia, al Qeada has more resources, but they are not stronger. They are a threat, but more so to our troops and our allies in the field of battle, and less likely to hit us at home again.

And don't give me this bull about "Iraq didn't attack us." The people who we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq are all cut from the same cloth with the same ideas. They want Americans to die. They want to kill you. They want to kill me. They hate every freedom we have. They have an impossible hate for us. They hate America almost as much as democrats do.

Speaking of which, if you think the media does not have an anti-Bush bias, ask yourself this. How many times did your news focus on the fact that absolutely ZERO attacks have occurred on US soil since 9-11? Clinton allowed the 1993 WTC bombing to go unpunished, the attacks on US Embassies in Africa to go without punishment, and then the 2000 USS Cole attack went unanswered. Three attacks in 8 years for Clinton...One in 7 years for Bush (By the way, the attacks on 9-11 were planned during Clinton's lazy years, so, technically, 9-11 was a Clinton mishap, much like the inherited recession Bush dealt with in his first year of office.)

So, please continue to remember the victims...the families of victims...remember that there are still 3,000 empty chairs at the dinner table because the Clinton administration allowed Bin Laden to build strength for 8 years. Just think...what if Clinton had gone after al Qeada in 1993...who might still be alive today...then ask, are we ready for another no-action Clinton administration?

ALgore and the hypocrasy of the Liberal Left

To hear Al Gore and the left tell it, you and I average Americans are the only ones responsible for any possible pollution and damage to the Earth and this mystery called "Global Warming."

In 30 years, we went from a Global Cooling and possible Ice Age on the horizon to a Global Warming of catostrophic proportions. And it is you and my fault...and not anyone on the left.

And to compensate for our misuse and abuse of the Earth, they are now buying and selling Carbon Offsets.

What is a Carbon Offset? It is a deed or activity done to offset the damage done by one's carbon emmissions. You drive an SUV and emit so much carbon exhaust, you can pay a company to offset those emmissions by planting trees or "researching" ways to trap methane from cow flatulence...yes, you could offset your damage to the Earth by paying a company to figure out how to TRAP COW FARTS.

I am not a psychic, but I do see some cow emmissions...but its from a bull and its not in gaseous form, if you catch my drift.

Yet, with near unlimited financial resources and connections, these same preachers of the gospel of anti-carbon emmissions and carbon offset purchases, these same people do anything but try to lead by example. They drive their Hummers and Escalades and stretch limos...fly in private jets and private jumbo jets...air condition barns full of their own movie and personal memorabelia...air condition or heat empty homes that they stay in only once every so often. The cast of your average Hollywood production emits more carbon and pollution that the rest of the country combined...yet they dare preach to us.

The city of Hong Kong uses twice as much energy as the United States...yet why doesn't Al Gore fly there in his fuel-guzzling private jet to preach to them about carbon offsets? Why? Because the Chinese would see through his B.S. and laugh his psycho comb-over out of the country.
Yet here, Leo DiCaprio and Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn all jump on this bandwagon and cheer for the idea that paying a for-profit company to research trapping cow farts will offset their wasteful use of energy, gas, and other resources.

Why do people buy into the hypocrasy without question? I don't get why America doesn't tell these morons to shut up and get off my TV.

Happy New Year 2006!

Happy New Year!

Just an idea...this goes out to my women friends. Please tell two of your friends, and tell them to tell two more and so on.

Stop letting yourselves be cheapened.

Stop letting yourself be convinced that you have to look slutty and or act slutty to get a man's attention or to get somewhere in life. Stop encouraging my fellow menfolk to think from their zippers by giving in to their childish demands.

Stop being so forgiving of men for cheating. Cheating is the ultimate hurt and insult. Forgiving is just slightly different than encouraging. Forgiving a cheater gives them control...gives them the power to cheat more often because they know they have you around their finger.

Stop acting like the women on TV. Women, like us males, have so few positive role models. The only time a woman should let a man into her bed on the first date is if that first date didn't come until after they fell in love and were married.

I am not trying to be holier-than-thou. I am not trying to insult or berate or come down on. It is merely an idea I propose. I did, in fact, lose a friend of three years over a difference in ideas over the summer...so I know how overreacted people can get. But I hope you can take this in the spirit in which it is intended.

Happy New Year! May God bless your 2006.

From D.C. to Baghdad: LET FREEDOM RING!

Free at last, free at last, good God, Almighty, we are free at last!

I am not sure how to translate that into Arabic, but that is the thought and sentiment being shared in Iraq this day. Martin Luther King, Jr., may have meant a different freedom in a different time, but I feel that there are about 20 million Iraqi people who are feeling, if not saying, very similar sentiments today.

Despite the whinings and defeatist ideas from the left, the Iraqis reported to have their fingers dyed and voted cast in the third...yes, count 'em, three!...FREE elections today.

In less than 12 months, Iraq has held its third consecutive successful election. With their fingers dyed purple, the Iraqi people bravely took to the polls, risking life and limb, to vote.(Sadly, some of us won't risk getting wet because it is raining on election day.) However, the people of Iraq are just over 2 years removed from the complete removal of Saddam and his terrorist regime, and they are in the middle of a successful development of a free, democratic republic. Thank you, troops, for making the world safer for not only these Iraqis, but us as well.

Thank you to our troops, the troops of the coalition, the brave leadership from the US White House and the Tony Blair administration.

Merry Christmas to our soldiers fighting overseas who won't be home to celebrate.

This blog typed in a color similar to that of the dye on the fingers of the Iraqi voters today to show my support.

Let freedom ring, Let the white dove sing

Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning!

Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong!

Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay!

It's Independence Day!!
