The Obama Administration continues to spin the truth about the economy and unemployment.  Regardless of where you stand politically, the reality is that the recession is not over, nor will it be over in the near future and the current administration is doing nothing to reverse the downward spiral.  Obama likes to play the game of illusions.  However, even a magician knows that if you stay before your audience for too long,  they find your secrets.  The magic is no longer fascinating.  The truth about lies is that in order to sustain a lie,  it must have a little speck of truth in it in order to keep spinning it into a new story. 

November 2009  unemployment is at 10.0%  according to the Bureau of labor Statistics.  What was Obama’s response?  “Let’s have a job summit”  Where the brilliant observation was made that the onus of job creation rests with the private sector.  Wow!  Anyone taking a Economics course in college could have come up with that one.   .  Obama can talk all he likes about where he believes jobs should be created.  The reality that he does not want anyone to know is the number of new employee of the United States government.  In January 2009,   the government added 31, 000 new jobs while the private sector continues to struggle.  More Americans are losing jobs, struggling to make ends meet and the President lectures on job creation.  In an odd way, he is telling the private sector to follow the government lead in hiring new personnel.  However,  the small businesses of America do not have a handy money printing machine that they  can just switch on when the money starts to dry up.  Mr. Obama has proven he not only has one of those nifty machines,  he knows how to turn the switch it on and off.  Come to think of it, it’s almost like a teleprompter. 

The nugget of truth in Obama’s statement turns into a lie when his actions reverses the incentives for  small businesses to hire people.  What is the government doing to help the confidence of small businesses to grow?  Nothing.  In fact, they are creating more fear with agendas such as tax and cap,  healthcare reform, and generally trying to spend their way out of a recession.  It is absolute madness, and the American people are starting to see that the man how made the promises of hope and change is quite like the Wizard of  Oz.  If someone pulls back the curtain on the “image” of the President who would be savior, there would stand a human being who isn’t so grand at all. He’s just  someone who wants power and control.  

The illusion of grandeur must continue for Obama to achieve this destructive path that America is taking daily. Each time there are new numbers about the economy,  it will be delivered as “it’s not as bad as we thought” or “the unemployment numbers have gone down, but that’s because people have stopped collecting unemployment and  have given up.”  Sooner or later, the lie can not stand on its own.  Obama will have to come up with something to divert the citizen’s attention to some program or handout that might when back his popularity.  With how his numbers are dropping, it better be really spectacular.   Even Obama may have trouble pulling that off. 

  How long will it be when the proverbial “other shoe” drops and cities start to close down services because property taxes are not being paid?  This economy can no longer be described as a spiral downward.  It would be more accurate to say it is in a free fall.   In all the political commentary, no one has addressed how to stop this administration from the reckless course they are taking.   The only ideas batted about are the elections of 2010 and 2012.  While it is true,  this is a golden opportunity for Republicans to gain seats,  it is more imperative that actions be taken now to stop this nonsense.  When the President of the United States is smug enough to fly over peaceful demonstrators who oppose his healthcare reform  in order to give a speech to admiring fans who accept every word  he says, than it is time to do something immediately.  impeachment is not the answer but finding ways to take away his power is better.  

Time to unplug the teleprompter.  With every lie that President Obama spews, the truth has to come out ten times louder.  Controlling the media and news is crucial. The Mainstream Media has shown to often who they are siding with and what information will be doled out to their audience.  As educated citizens, it is important to remember Regains words, “Trust but verify.”  Read, listen to every point of view, and verify the sources.  It is only then  that being armed with the truth will the lies lose  their effect on Americans.  It also gives the citizens the confidence to fight back and say “NO.” to ridiculous spending, taxes and programs. 

The Internet is a wonderful tool to put the information out into the hands of average citizens.  The real test of getting information out is the use of other media, such as television, radio and print.  Isn’t it amazing that conservative books are selling like hot cakes now?  How about Fox News?   It really is not a big surprise that their ratings top all the other cable news shows.  The phenomenon of talk radio began in the 80’s when everyone thought it was a stupid venture.  Why does congress want to shut the airwaves down with the Fairness Doctrine?  Truth is the antidote to the cancer of lies.   

It’s time to take up the mighty pen to stab out the monster of economic mess that Americans are experiencing.  While it is true, not everyone can have a best selling book, do a news show or talk on the radio.  However, writing to Representatives and Senators is a start in being heard.  Talk to neighbors, family members or anyone who wants to engage in meaningful debate.  It is in the arena of ideas that problems are faced and  sometimes fixed.  The shame of being conservative should be over and should anyone need a course on how to be openly conservative,  listen to Hannity, Beck, Levin and Limbaugh.  

It’s also  time to teach Democrats that citizens don’t need  the government to rescue them.  However,  it is the government that will need citizens to come to the rescue to save the country.  First mission,  stop the spending.  Second mission, stimulate the economy the right way.  Third mission,  elect  people who are worthy of the voters trust.  Anyone game? 

Another boring lesson from Presdinet “Professor/Community Activist” Obama.  It did little for the Presidnet’s case to add in a history lesson on how the Afghanistan conflict began.  Even less helpful was his small but obligatory slam against his predessor.   However, last night President Obama said some surprising statements but in the end it is the same old rheoric that has come out of the White House since he took office.  His tidy little speech on the war can be summed up in one sentence: “It’s not my fault but Bush got us in here so I have to get us out.”   

As President Obama began his speech, he touched on the Attack on 9/11.  That was both shocking and hypicritical.  Shocking that he would utter the words that America acted with military strength after the attack on 9/11. According to him and his left-wing base,  America should not have done anything after the attack.  As a matter of fact, grieve for those who died and move on was their attitude.  Hypicritical because admitting that it was an attack with a military response from our government makes what the terrorists did an act of war.  Which calls to mind that the President and his Attorney General are now bringing these terrorists to New York for a Civil Trial.  Mr. President,  you just admitted that what these thugs did was an act of war, why are they being tried in civilian court? 

The “it’s not my fault momment” came when Obama stated from the beginning of his presidency he did what needed to be done in Afghanastan becasue the previous administration ignored the requests for more troops in the area.  He corrected that.  While it is true, that the former administration’s attention were focused on Iraq, the idea that  Obama’s sent in more troops becasue Bush wouldn’t is in a technical sense a lie.  If anything,  the previous administration’s attempt to root out the Taliban has been hampered by Pakistan, who is giving safe harbor to the Taliban.  Not to mention, a war weary public and Congress.  Obama continues on with the white lie by stating that he has carfully weighed his options in Afghanistan, not wanting to rush into a decision.  Shocking that he is willing to committ more troops when America is still war weary.  However, he has no choice in this matter.  Even a four year old with army men knows that to win the war, more is better.  Obama has tried to stay away from war issues because of his base.  Now, he can’t ignore them since the news of McCrystal asking for more troops became public debate.  While blaming he previous adminsitration for ignoring the problems in Afghanistan, did Obama not do the same thing?   He sent more troops and figured that was all he needed to do.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.  Hypocrisy at its best!  Obama doesn’t want to be bothered with war issues.  He’s too busy reshaping America into a socialsit country.  When McCrystal began asking for more troops, Obama’s response was first to ignore the request, then it was to ponder on the request, while consulting with everyone else but the commander.  Which leads into the end of the conflict not the victory of the conflict.  Obama brought up the imagry of Vietnam, stating that Afghanistan is not like that war.  Once again Vietnam is brought up not as a weapon this time, but a shield.  Vietnam is always used as tool to discredit any Republican president when it comes to Foregin Policy and military decisions.  However,  Obama brings up the “v” word as a shield that should protect him from all criticism which point to him as being a poor, indecisive commander in chief.  In his eyes,  it wasn’t the victory that America should have sought out in Vietnam, it was a conclusion.  By invoking the mistakes of Vietnam,  Obama is essentially saying Afghanistan will be a better loss than Vietnam.  There will be a conclusion to the war this time, but just as in forty years ago, America is not seeking victory.  The date is circled in red on Obama’s calendar come hell or high water, America is out of there. While it is not shocking that Obama would use a time table to determine when to leave.  It is  hypocritical to say that Afghanastan will be different from the stand point that the strategy is to admit we seek a conclusion not necessarily a victory. 

In essence the plan for Afghanistan is to go after the Taliban and Al Qaida.  Obama has finally seen the light that these terrorist must be brought to justice.  The only concern here is what type of justice.  For  years,  the Bush Administrtion was hammered on the fact that Bin Laden was still free.   There was even a belief that Bush had Bin Laden but was waiting in some jail cell for an Octorber surpise  in order to win reelecton.  That didn’t happen.  Yet,  here is Obama essentially saying all the things that Bush said years ago.  Stopping the Taliban and  Al Qaida is a top priority.  However, it seems as though the charming world leader did a back step.  While acknowledging that the Taliban has done much to undermine the Afghanastan government,  he suggested their could be an opporunity for non violent members of Taliban to be a part of the Afghanistan government.  Shocking!  Why would the President of the United States tell another government who should be invited to participate in their government?  Secondly,  has anyone heard of a nonviolent Taliban movement?   That is similar to saying that there are nonviolent PLO  leaders who seek peace and love for everyone in Israel.  In one swift move,  Obama shows his hypocrisy again as he tries to side with the more “moderate” of the Taliban yet wants to be tough on terrorists

In the end, the most shocking element of Obama’s speech was not so much everything he said, but where he said it.  At West Point Accademy, not from the Oval Office.  This speech should have been Presidential yet Obama tried to appear as though he blends in with the military.  In the end, this action spells out hypocrisy.  Obama needs to look and behave like a president.  Instead he counting on the “image” to see him through Afghanistan.  It is no secret that Obama is not a fan of the military,   Staging this speech at West Point is beyound pandering, its hypocritical.  As a matter of fact,  his entire presdency is shocking and hypicricial.   It might have been better to watch  Charlie Brown figure out the true meaning of Christams  than to listen to the President try to figure out the meaning of ending the conflict in Afghanistan.  

Sad reality of our society is that two things are for certain:  death and taxes.  The Democrats are at the head of the class when it comes to blending these two certainties into one.  If death and taxes were a math equation the outcome would be healthcare reform.   The powerful mix of the two is enough to bring a country to its knees.  Which, as Americans are witnessing this  past month, is exactly what the Obama Administration wants.  A total knock out would be preferred, but that's the long term goal.  After all America's leadership role didn't happen overnight,  but the fall of America can happen as quickly and decisively.   Obama has had less than a year to bring unemployment up,  spending more than any other President in their first year, and adopting an agenda that is very unpopular.    With all due respect,  people are not worried about healthcare, they are more concerned with finding a job. 

Hoyer wants to call last night's vote on Health care reform bipartisan.  Well,  here is the story of the one Republican who voted for it and the thirty-nine Democrats who voted against it.  If this is partisan vote,  it would seem that the Republicans who voted against the bill had more of a bipartisan showing than Hoyer would like to admit.  After all the Republicans were able to get thirty-eight more votes to agree with their point of view.   As a matter of fact to win the vote by only five tells Americans one thing:  the leadership in Congress is ignorant and arrogant.  Two characteristics that spell disaster for our country. 

To condense the 2,000 pages of legalize double-talk into terms that middle America can understand it only takes two words: More TAXES.  What the brilliant, using the term loosely here,  architects of this legislation refuse to understand is that Americans are not that easy to fool.     The Democrats refuse to tell the truth about what the bill actually details.  At one point Americans were promised that they can keep current insurance if you like it.  Now,  it's a definite move to making sure everyone get's onto the government's plan.  It will cut costs but yet we will cover more people.  In what universe does this math add up?  The leadership can never answer the question of where the money will come from to support this program.  They can't speak the truth because they know that no one wants to hear that they will ahve to pay more taxes.  Not to worry,  the government will be able to cut costs by deciding who will be eligible for treatments.   The old and the terminally ill will not have a voice.  They will be silenced.  Which will  result in a different, more horrifying  holocaust than Hitler's murderous plans.    For those who are dealing with elderly parents or handicapped children this is a nightmare.  

It's Halloween, perhaps the most scariest night of  the year.  This year the normal things that go bump in the night won't scare most trick or treaters After all,  when the most liberal administration in United States history has begun to reshape America brick by brick,  what could be scarier than that?  On a side note, let's pray nothing ever happens to Obama,  things will get scarier with a President Biden.  The thought is enough to send chills up and down one's spine.   Come to think of it,  it has been like a bad Halloween movie for Michiganders for the past eight years.  No, not due to Bush's incompetence,  rather  Granholm's  costume "Blond Barbie  Goes to Lansing pant suit" as Michigan Governor.   Enough about Michigan's incompetent Governor.  The real issue here is how to put a stake in all liberal's heart by putting a stop to the socialist programs that will ruin America.

Not to get giddy or over excited about the recent trends in polling, but it looks as though the conservative movement has finally caught some momentum.  The Tea Parties were successful in energizing the public with information on what could be done to stop the Administration for taking over the health care industries.  Talk radio and Fox News have never been more popular as they are now and the Internet is turning into a powerful engine to provide information directly to the people, bypassing the media, the White House and Congress.  The true losers of the Information Age are liberals and their agenda.  The winners are conservatives who longed for information that was factual, reliable and useful.   MSNBC, CNN and their cronies will never understand how their base is shrinking.   Viewers have found that they can no longer trust the news anchors of today,  they just don't make journalists like Walter Cronkite anymore.  (As a side note,  it can be debated that Cronkite was liberal.  However, it is fair to say that he kept his opinions out of the news reports to the point where viewers at least felt they could trust him.)   As stated earlier,   conservatives should not become giddy over this turn in American history.  It is much too early in the "game" to declare a victory.  This next year will be the test as to how strong the resolve is for Conservatives to win the battle. 

Looking at the slate of new bills, programs and taxes the liberals are proposing in Washington D.C. is mind boggling.  It is an amazing thing to watch the Democrats come up with new ways of taxing middle class citizens.  In every bill proposed, whether it deals with health care, cap and trade,  national security, or  climate control, there is a huge bill attached with the tax payer's name on it.   At a time when the economy is in the tank,  liberals are scrambling for ways of  increasing taxes to pay for their wonderful  everyone is equal in Obama eyes' legislation.  Not one of these programs will do anything to boost the economy.  Not one of them will give a laid off GM employee back their job.  Not one of them will make America a better place.  However, we will all be the poorer for them.   Don't lose sight of the goal:  Kick liberals out of Congress and get America back on the right track of financial success.   There will be several key elections to watch this Tuesday which may be the beginning of  sending the old guard packing.  Obama's team are worried, as they should be.

Win or lose on Tuesday,  conservatives should be on their toes.  With the scare that the White House is getting in Virginia, New Jersey and New York,  it is without a doubt that efforts will be doubled to pass legislation before the bigger elections in 2010.  The RNC had better begin to listen for conservative voices and follow them.  American politics has always been a two party system, and it will remain that way.  The only change that may be on the horizon,  is that the Republican party as it stands now, will either have to change their strategy to reflect conservative values or be pushed in with the Democrats while conservatives of the party reform the RNC into a new political group.  For proof of this,  look at the New York Congressional race with Doug Hoffman, a conservative who pushed out the RNC backed Scozzafava days before the election.    Michael Steele,  are you listening?  Are you watching?  Will you be bold enough to stand for conservative principals? 

The new mantra for the Conservative politicians and candidates should be 'CUT AND CREATE."   That is to say cut taxes and create opportunites for job growth.  It is as simple as two plus two equals four.  For liberals it is all about fuzzy math.  For conservatives it is all about what is the real outcome.  For example,  the administration must be drinking more than kool aid when they come out on Friday to say that all is well with the economy and to prove it, the Administration has saved 650,000 jobs.  Seriously,  with unemployment at 9.8 %, which equals to millions being out of work,  Obama wants voters to believe he has saved jobs.  For families who have lost their income,  it is doubtful that this news is comforting.  For those who have intelligence to read between the lines of this latest spin,  this is insulting.  Why hasn't anyone in the media asked the all important question: So you saved jobs.   What will you do besides extend unemployment benefits to get America working again?  Don't ask the government, they never have good ideas.   Novel idea:  cut taxes to businesses to spur job creation. 

 It's time to become aggressive against liberals and their agenda.  In 1994,  the Republicans stood up to Clinton and won.  Time to do it again,  with a different twist.  This time,  it is important to not only to win but dominate the political field.  Never surrender.   Never back down.  Most importantly, never ever let liberals win.

The Republican and Democrat leaders are being handed a heavy lesson these days from their constituents.  It has been awhile since there  has been a loud outcry from the public against the government.  Sure every once in a while there would be stories of protest but most Americans sat in their living rooms, turned on Dan Rather and watched what was going on in the world.  The news of the day was just that,  news.  As long as the economy was going along at a steady pace,  people had jobs and children were going to school to learn the basics of english, math and science,  all was well.  However,  things have changed drastically these days.  The news of  the day now hits home harder than before and people are beginning to wake up. It's quite a rude awakening, too. 

It seems that these days Americans are being hit on all sides.  Some understand what is going on as a vicious attack on the American way of life.  While others are going along with the President's agenda with a dumb down attitude.  It's okay that  the country is going to hell in a hand basket.  It's okay that Obama might be making the wrong  or bad decisions for our country.  He is just doing what he thinks is best.  That's what is most important.  Scary but its true some Americans actually think this way.  It can't be made up.   Listen to talk radio and sometimes the occasional left wing nut calls up to defend Obama.  This line of logic was just used last week on Sean Hannity's radio program. Conservatives must have been ready to drive off the road when hearing this load of propaganda. Which begs the question,  where are these left wingers getting their kool-aid?  Where ever it is,  it ought to be shut down before the whole country is brain dead. 

In a high school government class they teach students, or at least let's hope they still do this,  that the President takes an oath to before taking the highest office in America.  The words that make up this oath have been used since George Washington days and to the present day.  When Barack Hussein Obama said this Oath in January 2009,  the words were not changed.  He swore upon a bible that he " solemnly swear  that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter."   Remember the words "support and defend the Constitution".   

A couple of weeks ago,  the media in Detroit were filming people showing up at Cobo Hall to stand in line for assistance with their energy bills.  One woman gave a keen insight to why all these people showed up on a typical fall day in Detroit.  This is Obama money, you know the money he has in his stash and that's why we voted him into office.  Obviously the woman must have confused Obama with another politician,  William J "cold cash" Jefferson who actually had some money stashed in his freezer.  They must believe that all Democrats have freezers filled with cash and Obama is the one "nice" Democrat who is going to share.  They are right on one count.  It wouldn't be a surprise to know that Democrats are hiding their "cold cash" in many unique places.  After all there are a couple of tax evaders in the White House right now.  But, and here is the important point,  it is  doubtful that any one of the Democrats are willing to share their pile of dough.  They will stick their fingers into other people's wallet to help the needy. 

There can be no doubt as to why Obama won the Noble Prize now.  He has in so many words given his support to climate control and the global redistribution of wealth.  Like a good little lap dog of the United Nations,  our President,  Barack Hussein Obama is prepared to sign a treaty this December in Copenhagen which will silently give away America's soverency.  Why shouldn't he?  Too many people in America oppose him,  the world at least loves him and the next step is President of the World.  As he hears it from realiable sources,  the same ones who told him Chicago was "gold" for the Olympics, he is a shoe in for the job.  This is way too easy for Barry.  Hasn't even done a darn thing and yet getting all the accolades!

Lord Christopher Monckton's speech on October 14th details specifically how the climate control agenda has in it's sight to have communism rule over every country,  including America.  The alarming fact is that this being done under our noses and with such audacity that one would have to believe that Monckton is making the whole thing up.  He is not!   Looking at the agenda proposed,  there is no way of escaping the undeniable truth.  Obama and his communist idols are going to make the U.S. and the west pay for damaging the planet.  He will sign away our rights and render the Constitution useless.  This should not be surprising since he has always held disdain for the document and felt it didn't allow the government enough room to do more to it's citizen.

If these allegations are false.  Then the Obama Administration should set the record straight.  The sad fact is, they can't set the record straight.  For if they did, they would have to admit that Lord Monckton is right in his assessment.   The facts speak for themselves, since Obama has been in office his agenda has attempted to change America, for the worse.  Unemployment is up,  spending is up and foreclosures are up.  Yet, amazingly there are those who will defend the man to the ends of the earth.  Overlooking the obvious.   If no one stops Obama in December,  the lamp that the Statue of Liberty has held for the tired, the poor,  and the  huddled masses yearning to breathe free will be extinguished forever.  If Obama signs the treaty, he will commit treason.  Are there any leaders out there who is willing to call the President on this and demand his resignation?

      It is eye-opening to learn who the favorite political philosophers are on the left.  Anita Dunn, who is by no means a brilliant mind in her own right and is now the White House Communications Director,  calmly stated in a speech on June 5, of this year that her two favorite poltical philosophers were Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa.  Before even going down the road of what do these two historical figures have in common,  one has got to ask Ms. Dunn,  How did she ever come to the conclusion that Mother Teresa was a political philosopher?   Mother Teresa hated politics and her philosophy was religious not political.  Frankly, like all liberals ,  Ms. Dunn bends the truth to fit her own agenda and needs.   However,  that's not what is so distrubing about Ms. Dunn's statement.  What is disturbing is that without hesitation she admits to admiring a radical ideology of the far left.  One can assume that the only reason she used Mother Teresa's name and quote was to take the edge off of her admiration for a Chinese Dictator who killed 70,000 of his own people.  

Taking a brief look at Mao Tse Tung,  one has to wonder what is it that inspires the left so much?  Is it the fact that he took over China's government when so many were resisting his ascent to power?  Is it the fact that under his rule of law, The Great Leap,  a huge portion of the population of China died?  Or could it be he demonstrated how to blame others effectively for the mistakes of a dictator?   Actually,  it isn't any of these things that inspires them.  Chairman Mao sits along side of all the failed dictators such as Stalin, Lenin and Hitler.  The perfect guest list for a dinner party at a radical leftist's home  would be to bring back the old dictators for one night in order to sit at their knees and listen with awe on how they  come to power and stayed there.  Well, that is until the people of the country revolted against the communists ideal.  That's when the fun really started!  Kill as many of the rebels possible before going down yourself.  Ah,   the glory days.   Mao Tse Tung inspires the left because he makes them feel intellectually superior to the average "citizen" because the simple minded can not grasp or comprehend the power of socialism.  They would have made perfect henchmen for the likes of Chairman Mao, Stalin and Lenin.  Come to think of it,  they are perfect henchmen for the most socialist president the nation has ever known.  Their dreams are being fulfilled. 

Back to Ms. Dunn's favorite quote of Mao Tse Tung.  In her speech to the high school students,  she quoted the ambitious Chairman as saying, "I'll fight my wars.  You fight yours." This was at the point in China's history when Mao Tse Tung  was coming to power and preparing to win over control.  The odds were against him, but he fought his war and won.  How wonderful for China!  For twenty-five years the people of China suffered under his regime. No jobs.  No food.  No medical care.  Just the kind of place anyone would want to raise their family.  Yet, he did it his way.  He found a path that fit for him and high schoolers should learn that they too must pave their own way.  When asked about this quote,  Ms. Dunn said she was only joking when she used Chairman Mao words.  Weird.  The audience must not have gotten the joke, because not a single person laughed.  Yes, there were a few nervous chuckles when she mentioned that Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa are never quoted together. The joke ended there.  Her main point was that there is inspiration in fighting your own war.  That it is more important is winning for your own good instead of what is best for the country.  Push the socialist agenda until the citizens are beaten into submission.  This is what Tung did.  This is the liberal's dream.  We can only hope that the young minds in the audience were thinking,   "I will fight my war against Obama's socialist plan."  If they weren't and they bought this propaganda speech,  it is a sad sad day for America's future.

A brief comment on the Mother Teresa's quote, "Find your own Calcutta."  If Ms. Dunn had done any research on the topic she may have found the meaning behind Mother Teresa's words. Her mission was to take care of the sick and dying, and lost children of Calcutta, not inspire the world to find their own path.   Her words to the young girl were meant to remind her that she did not need to come to Calcutta,  just like every other rich or famous perosn does, in order to "show" how wonderful a human being she was. Mother Teresa's words were a stark reminder that it was better to  serve  humanity in another part of the world that is often forgotten.  Ms.  Dunn completely missed that lesson, but then again,  she was only using the name of Mother Teresa,  it is doubtful that she actually believed in anything Mother Teresa said or did. 

There are  many heroes that Anita Dunn could have chosen to quote.  Albert Einstein,  Abraham Lincoln or the resilient Helen Keller. These historic figures fought many personal battles that lead them to find greatness in themselves, which in turn,  made the world a better place.  That can not be said of Mao Tse Tung.  The fact that she chooses a dictator underscores the philosophy of  today's radical liberals, which they wish to hide.  They are not moderates,  they are not compromising and they are not giving up because they want total control.   The people who have surrounded the president have given Americans much to be concerned about.   How could one not worry about the judgement of the President when one radical after another keeps popping up next to him?  These are surely dark days for America. 

When talking about health issues and the quality of life it can be safely assumed that people do not like to  be threatened,  manipulated or forced into a corner.  Yet,  the Darling Democrats are doing just that this week to the American people.  We will have Healthcare Reform Period! No discussion.  No debates.  No doubts.  Americans will be threatened, manipulated and forced into liking a system that will drive up medical costs,  taxes and death rates.  Lovely thought isn't it? 

How does one begin a blog that will definitely be viewed as negative and depressing?  Perhaps to cushion the blow just a touch with the assurance that all is not lost in Michigan or in America.  There are signs that the citizens are waking up to smell the coffee but there is so much to do in order to take back our country and our way of life.  In the last blog,  Michigan was discussed as the model or prototype of a welfare state.  What can and will happen if Obama Hope passes through Washington.  The cynic could say that Governor Jennifer Granholm collaborated with the Democrats and volunteered Michigan to be the state where all the socialist experiments would be tried first before going National.  However, that would entail that they would have known eight years ago that Obama would be president.  Great conspiracy theory, if one is into that.  However, today's blog aims at finding solutions.  If Michigan can be save,  so can the rest of America.  This is an offer to the Republican party to use Michigan as the state that almost failed but found it's way back, better and stronger.  Will they take this offer?  If they don't, then there must be other leaders out there who will be willing to step up to the plate and help bring life back into a dying state. 

Michigan is a wonderful place to live.  The seasons are beautiful,  even winter can be beautiful around Christmas time.  The lakes are great, even the little ones that can be found in the out of the way places.  It is the heart and soul of America.  The Native American believe that when the Great Creator made the world, he left his hand print behind.  Thus, that is how Michigan was formed. With all the beauty that this state has to offer,  there must be some truth to that legend.   Now. the days have gotten harder and Michiganders are fleeing not for the winter months, but forever.  Those left behind are beginning to wonder if it is too late to follow the masses who have already left.   For all intents and purposes,  they are stuck.  Either hibernate during this economic fall out and see what comes out of Detroit after this recession or work harder to  turn things around in Michigan.  At this point, it is hard to know which is better to do, because honestly both of these options require hope.  Hope doesn't live here anymore.
