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.

Glenn Beck: Unelectable

Okay, this blog is not going to rail against the morons, I mean anyone who is trying to support the new administration, but instead, I am offering some hope.

Real hope.

For years, there was one shining light coming from CNN headquarters via CNN Headline News. That shining light was the one voice of reason that did not fall in line with the liberal idiocy and hypocracy. This shining light is now the 5pm show on Fox News Channel...His name: GLENN BECK.

My life's schedule prevents me from seeing his broadcasts on FNC. I wish I had been more familiar with him while he was at Headline News.

I write about him tonight because of the inspiration he has just provided me. Let me explain.

Recently, due to the irregular schedule of my job as a Family Teacher (NOT HOUSE PARENT! [That's a joke...hopefully fellow FTs appreciate it]), I decided to join Netflix. In my hours of searching Netflix's vast library, the website's suggestion features showed me a DVD created during the travesty of an election season we just had in 2008. The DVD is entitled Glenn Beck: UNELECTABLE.

Beck's passion and sheer, unadulterated, unquestionable love of country inspired me. He loves this country. He loves God. He believes in both.

In today's world, people do not talk with the passion and emotion that Beck presents on the stage in this DVD. People do not express the deep-rooted love of God and country that Beck does in this DVD.

I love Rush, Hannity, Mark Levin, and so many others on our side, but when they talk about their love of country, it doesn't carry the same depth. This is not to say they love America any less, or that Beck is so much better, but I am merely pointing out that I am inspired by this man.

Beck's take on America and politics and politicians is humorous, engaging, and though-provoking. If you have the slightest sliver of pride and love and respect for this country, this DVD will leave you elevated.

I am 27 years old. I am the son of a Vietnam Vet. I have walked the streets of two of the greatest cities God gave man: New York City and, my original and current city, Chicago. I have seen, in just under my 3 decades on earth, Americans lose themselves. I have seen the pride, love, and passion for our country and freedom get eroded and washed away. I have seen my peers never develop a proud, American core within themselves.

Most American parents have failed their children and their country by not nurturing that American pride in the last two generations.

Our media has betrayed and failed out country with their coverage of the last 5 presidencies. From their disrespectful attacks on Ronald Reagan to their unfailing love and support of the criminal Bill Clinton, then their unrelenting attacks and insults and disrespect to George W. Bush to their praise, support, and adoration of Barack Obama, they have consistently taught Americans all the wrong things about how to be a country of strength, independence, intelligence, and pride. The media has helped destroy our American Pride.

Our public schools, whose policies and curriculum are primarily devised by Democratic-minded, liberal-leaning beauracrats and not people within the education system, and certainly not by conservatives who have pride in America. Our kids are bieng indoctrinated to ignore their country's greatness and only focus on her imagined faults, meanwhile praising and envying the cultures of other nations while completely ignoring the human rights violations, violence, and lack-of-freedoms those cultures have. (Imagine walking around in China and carrying a poster that spoke ill of the current regime in charge...how many bullets would pierce your body before you hit the ground?)

I encourage all Americans to listen to Glenn's speech in this DVD. I hope that you will consider trying to instill a higher sense of pride, love, and adoration for America in those people around you.

Have you read the entire US Constitution?
Have you read the entire Declaration of Independence?

Our biggest problem in this tough economic time is that we have lost a sense of what makes America America. We no longer look at the stars and stripes with a prideful heart and an inner peace. We no longer remember on a daily basis that thousands upon thousands of men, women, and children have fought and died to give us the rights we abuse and take for granted.

We abuse our rights. We are "endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." We are not guarenteed happiness. We do not have a RIGHT to tax-payer-funded housing, health care, or anything else. We have the right to live, to live free, and to spend that free life pursuing happiness...we do not have the right to get there. We have the right to attempt to get there. But, we forget that. We tend to stick out our hand and expect people to give us what most people used to work for.

Watch the DVD. Start reinforcing your love of America. If we all step back, look around, take a deep breath, and fall in love with our country all over again...if we do that...if we give up a piece of ourselves and love America...I truly believe that we can figure out how to get our country going forward again. I believe we can be successful and leave this country in better shape than when we found it.

Attention Parents: Positive Role Model for Little Girls!!! A True Find!!!

For most of my commentary career, I will periodically rail against someone like Britney "Mother of the Year" Spears, Linsey HO-han...I mean, Lohan, Jessica "Undercarriage" Simpson, or the other bevy of female celebrities who flaunt their 'goodies' with no remorse.

I have attacked morons like Lindsey Lohan for weighing 25 pounds and announcing she is trying to lose a few more pounds. I have questioned the popularity of people like Spears and Simpson and Christina Aguilara...and why so many parents look the other way.

I have verbally fought Eminem, 50 Cent, Kanye, and all these other cRappers for their disgusting lyrics and even worse videos that devalue women, meanwhile teaching all kids that women are only worth how often they share themselves with others, men and or women.

In addition, I have supported positive role models...sadly they are few and far between. I have also stood up for people who are attacked unfairly. A couple years ago, Jennifer Love Hewitt was attacked for being fat when she clearly was not even close to being fat. I think the attacks on Britney's appearance at the MTV VMAs two years ago was unfair and gave even more negative messages to little girls everywhere.

So, out of nowhere, I see this news story. It is about Emma Watson, one of the stars of the Harry Potter series of movies. She recently turned 18, and the sicko paparazzi was right there, and as she admitted, there were members taking full advantage of her now-legal status and trying to snap revealing pictures, including paparazzi lying on their backs attempting an up-skirt shot.

Emma Watson does not want to be classified as "sexy." She refuses to don the revealing low-cut tops and high-cut skirts. She dresses conservative, values education, and wants to continue to work and better herself, even though she could live off the fortune the Harry Potter series made possible.

This blog is not to say she is perfect...I am not Chris Matthews and she is not Obama...no tingly feelings here...I am merely pointing out that it is cool and it is good to have morals, decency, and modesty.

This is ridiculous...will we make it to 2012?

The Obama Administration is off and running!

Running us into the ground, that its.

Obama is closing GitMo, hiring tax cheats, and trying to force working Americans into buying a $1 trillion...that is $1,000,000,000,000 or $1 million times $1 million or enough for every man, woman, and child to each receive a check for about $3000...spending package that does little for real job creation and little to encourage growth.

This 'stimulus' bill is nothing more than a big group of favors and paybacks for the last two national elections in 2006 and 2008. There is more pork in this one bill than you can imagine. Which is why Obama and the democrats are in such a hurry to pass it...the longer it sits, the more we learn.

Obama promised transparency, ethics, and change once he got into office. Obama was "the one." He was the man chosen from high above to come down and make America a better place. He was going to move America onto a better path.

The only thing that I can give credit for is the fact that those campaign lies were the only transparencies we are getting for the next four years.

There is not code of ethics in this administration. Ever since we learned about Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, Tony Rezko and the like, we have seen Obama surrounded by nothing but crooks, liars, and thieves. It seems everyone he works with is somehow a law-breaker and has some questionable morals, ethics, and decency. Bill Richardson had donor issues. Hillary Clinton is still stained with Whitewater, the Vernon Jordan murder, and the Marc Rich pardon, not to mention the "souvenirs" her and Bill bilked the American taxpayer out of in January of 2001. Tim Geithner is a tax cheat who will now run the IRS. Tom Daschle, the latest snafu, is also a tax cheat who will end up running the Commerce department.

I am sure any day now Michael Jackson will be appointed as the head of a new, national pre-school program. Followed by Britney Spears to be in charge of parenting. Perhaps Rod Blagojevic should be the new head of the FBI?

It is going to be a long 4 years. I sincerely hope that people start to realize the REAL problem.

We all started to see this economic crisis coming in mid-2007...just after the mid-term elections gave Democrats the House and Senate. Since the Dems have had the power, they have done nothing but preside over the largest jumps in energy costs in history, as well as the largest economic collapse since The Great Depression.

I guess this is the change we have been waiting for...
