The Supreme Ruler of the United States?

It's time to set our proverbial food down and start taking action.  When it becomes apparent that the Democratic party is looking at the possibility to  keep their Savior as president indefinitely, this is the time to stand up and take notice.  Americans can not afford to look the other way hoping that it will not happen or that someone else fights the good fight.  It's time to stop the Obama Express before it goes through every US town, leaving destruction in its past. 
The Sponsor of the bill  H. J Resolution 5,  Representative Jose E Serrano  (NY-16) introduced this bill on January 6, 2009, which would in effect repeal the 22nd amendment to the Constitution.   Let there be no misunderstanding  where this DEMOCRAT Representative stands on the issues of our day. According to Rep. Serrano's website, which does not give any indication as to what party he is a member of, he is working tirelessly on "English Plus Resolution" legislation encouraging Americans to learn more than one language,  normalize relations with Cuba,  and rational, humane approach to Immigration. All in all,  Jose sounds like your average liberal.  True?  So it should not be surprising that he would propose the repealing of the 22nd Amendment.  To be fair, he is only following in the footsteps of Democrat Harry Reid who proposed this in 1989.  Funny,  Democrats always like to say they are for justice, and  taking the power from the big powerful people and give it to the little guy.  Really?  So why do they want a King so bad? 
There are many who will say this will never happen.  The American Public just won't stand for this kind of change.  This is a challenging  thought because of how quickly the administration is moving on a number of important issues.   There is a sense of apathy that is crippling America.  There does not seem to be any indication that people are willing to fight back, because they are either waiting for someone to take up the fight or feel that is is a hopeless cause.  Democrats have total control, let them do what they want.  On issue after issue,  the Obama Administration is bullying the private sector, such as banking, auto industry, and hospitals,  into doing its bidding.  Their message is simple, get on board or suffer the consequences.  How could the amendment pass without the American voters approval?   It would be no surprise that Obama will use his bullying tactics on the voters by instructing ACORN to be present at every voting district to use intimidation tactics.  Can't happen?  Notice Obama's support of political regime in other countries.  He sides with Iran's election, but two weeks later states that he is appalled by Iran's response to their citizens.  Why the change?  Public opinion.  Honduras people voted out President Jose Manuel Zeleya, who wanted to destroy the Constitution of  Honduras and remain in power.   Obama joins Chavez in condemning the removal of the President and calls it a coup.   These two international incidents are clear indications of Obama's political philosophy and desires.    The title President seems so beneath him,  perhaps Supreme Ruler would be better.  Our Forefathers fought so that we would not have to live under a tyrannical King,  this Fourth of July and every day we can't forget that.  We also can not allow anyone, Democrat, Republican or Independent,  to become the First American Supreme Ruler.

Growing Up In America

It was much simpler back when I was a kid.  Perhaps, all adults feel that way.  Now that Obama has begun his campaign on changing America, to suit his image, maybe a reminder about what is at stake is appropriate.   The country is changing so quickly that at times it seems that if I blink my eyes,  America will disappear.  Fourth of July is coming up and it breaks my heart to see the shape America is in. 
To paraphrase a line from Mrs. First Lady,  for the first time in my life,  I'm ashamed of America and afraid of my government.  I've seen the bumper stickers for years,  I love my country, but fear my government.  I understood how powerful a government could become but never thought it would happen here.  We are the country that proved that citizens could speak up against their government and demand accountability without destroying the system.  The Press has always been the champions of the common folk with their words of neutrality which demanded that our government listen to the voices of the people first.  Yet,  here it is 2009 and I wonder how much longer will I be able to have freedom of speech and thought.  How long will it be before someone comes to my door, takes my computer and takes away my voice?  Will the media have the courage to acknowledge that if the voice of the people are silenced, their voices will be silenced? I pray that will never happen.  It is the cornerstone of our Republic.  
Watergate broke when I was in fourth grade.  President Nixon taught me one very important lesson:  Presidents are not perfect. What was Nixon's crime?  It was not clear to me as a child.  As an adult, I look back, scratch my head and think,  he left office because he agreed to cover-up a break in at Watergate. Nixon's closest advisors were indicted and convicted of list of crimes, including wiretapping, and lying to the FBI.  It is a shame that the President surrounded himself with these advisors, and there was a sense that thee were lines that even the President couldn't cross.  It's called taking the blame for the actions of others.  When Nixon resigned it was a move that was good for the  country.  I wonder now would our current President, if facing the same situation as Nixon, would do the same? When President Ford took the oath of office.  The impression that that left on me was profound.  A president could leave office because of a scandal and a peaceful transition could take place.  No one would ever be King in America.   This is a good thing.  
Politics in America is never perfect and always surprising.  When a Georgian Governor won the seat of the Presidency in 1977,  virtually an unknown candidate, it was hoped that America could finally move past Watergate.  President Carter's image in the beginning was one of good country charm.  He was a man of faith,  moral values and an all around good guy who would shape up the White House, which had been tainted by the Republicans.  The only problem was,  Carter's vision for our country lead us to high inflation rates, high unemployment and a gas crisis.  However, the  biggest, dumbest and boneheaded act of his administration came during the Iranian Hostage Crisis.  Under President Carter's leadership,  the world saw America as weak,  arrogant and dangerously incompetent.   It took President Reagan's election to office and eight years to rebuild the damaged image of America around the world.  It was not important anymore to be liked, it was more important to be respected.  
In High School, the main theme that teachers taught  me  was that our President was old, stupid and a war-monger.   What did I know?  I agreed with them because my mind was mush.  However,  why was it  that I felt safer in the 80's?   Maybe because I witnessed historic events that at one point I was told would never, ever happen.  Remember the Berlin Wall?   As a student in High School I was taught that communism won and the United States lost.  The Berlin Wall was a testament to that fact and would never be removed because of  Communism's strength.    Yet, the Berlin Wall came down,  the Cold War came to an end and there was freedom in Poland of all places.  Who would have thought this could ever happen?    I can think of  three courageous people who were the axis of greatness during the 80's who made this possible.  Ronnie, Maggie and Pope John Paul II.   An unlikely trio to be sure, but their place in history is solidified.   All three recognized the dignity of every human being and the desire of every human heart to be free. 
In almost thirty years, we have come so far.  President Obama said it himself on the campaign trails, he is not like the guys on the American bills.  He made this statement with racial undertones, because he is African-American.  I agree with him, he is not like George  Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Andrew Jackson.  This has nothing to do with the color of his skin.  It has more to do with the fact that he is cut from a political idealism that is very foreign to America and her history.  Obama's political agenda is in line with socialism, marxism and communism.   In the past year, he has done more to change the face of  American than any other President in history.  He states that he is a  citizen of the World,  and that scares me on so many levels.  If he is a citizen of the world,  where does America rank with him?  If he does not believe in the exceptional gift called America,  what then does he believe in?  If America is a Muslim country,  why is it that our laws are based on the Judeo-Christian beliefs and not Sharia law? If America is racist, backwards and has committed all the evils in the world,  how is it that America gave him the opportunity to become President? 
This Fourth of July,  I will remember all the brave young men and women who sacrificed their lives so that I can live in a country that is free.  There is a new battlefield now and it is close to home.  In their honor,  I  will take up the fight for freedom and push back the forces that threaten the greatness of this country.  If I reman silent,  I will have contributed to the demise of America.  I can not have that on my conscience.

Calling out the Traitors!

A simple message to the Republicans who decided to vote for the Cap and Trade.  We know who you are, who you pretend to represent and when you are up for election.  With everything in our power, we will hand you the same pink slips that many American workers will be getting because of your mindless, uneducated and elite, lazy behind!  Read the bill before you pass it.  Listen to your constituents before voting!  Use common sense before following the other sheep in Congress who follow blindly behind Obama.  Shame on you!  
Let's take a look at the Traitors.  
Mary Bono Mack of California 
Mike Castle of Delaware
Mark Steven Kirk of Illinois 
Leonard Lance of New Jersey
Frank LoBiondo  New Jersey
John McHugh New York
Dave Reichert Washington
Chris Smith New Jersey 

It  is quite interesting that three of New Jersey's Congressman voted for this bill and yet New Jersey have not had really good times 
in the past couple of years.  As  a matter of fact, the state  has a 8.9% unemployment rate for May of 2009.  Granted it's not as high as California,  which is 11.2%,  still these Republicans did not take into account that New Jersey financially has not been doing well.  So let's give  the taxpayers a bit more to worry about.  
What these Congressman and congresswomen are missing the point that the more Americans are taxed the less we make.
Stop this mess before it gets bigger. It's time to get these people out of office before they completely ruin America. I want to keep my
freedom, don't you?

Democrats win Key Votes On Climate Bill... TIME TO VOTE THEM OUT!

It's time to start taking names and start investigating every little sordid details of  these worthless politicians lives and work.  They are destroying America piece by piece and if we do not rise up to kick them out now,  we will have aided and abetted them in ruining this country.  Count the 217 that have passed the bill, find their photos and stick them on every billboard,  bumper sticker, t-shirt, and flyer to educate every American that these are the men and women who HATE AMERICA.  On the top of the list of the 217 place the picture of Obama, Bidden and Pelosi as the Three Marxists and have them pay politically for their mistakes.  This is a massive take over of our freedom never before and when the government wants to control private citizens' electricity the big hand of government has gotten to close to home.  
Any smart voter can find the website that will give the Senate vote count but just in case, there are busy conservatives out there who can't find the time to search for the names here it is: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll466.xml.  One good thing out of this is that not one Republican voted for this mess of a bill.  As usual, the  Representative lifers from Michigan who have nothing better to do than drag this state further into the abyss, have voted for this extra tax on Michiganders.  No need to play guessing games with who they are, because we have known them for over forty years.  Mr. Levin, and Mr. Kildee are responsible for this bill passing and every Michigander who are fed up with these two elitist should begin looking around for candidates that will represent the voters wishes.  It's time to give  them a pink slip and let them stand in the unemployment line.  
This is beyond scary, this is down right nightmarish.  Obama's administration is steam rolling ahead with massive spending that the average American taxpayer will never get ahead.  NEVER.  Government has too much control of our lives now,  we don't need it to get stronger, more intrusive and controlling.   The other night as Obama was explaining that health care can be reduced to pain killers, it occurred to me that perhaps the American public is ready to discuss end of life issues for the American Dream.  That is to say they have  begun to throw up their hands, and agreed to taking a "Pain" pill to end the misery now.    This saddens me to no end.  This country provided a wonderful opportunity for my family and myself to pursue our dreams.  Drams that may not  have had the opportunity to bloom in another country.    Americans  can not sit back and let Obama control their future.  As Americans, we can not sit back allowing  our freedom to be stripped away from us because once they are taken we will NEVER  get them back.  If this administration or any administration tries to destroy this great country of ours, it is our moral duty as citizens to stop them.  Not only for us but for future generations.  Don't let them get away with it.  Don't vote them back in.  PLACE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 217 REPRESENTATIVES ON NOTICE, THAT THEIR PINK SLIPS ARE ON WAY.  PACK YOUR BAGS, YOUR GOING HOME.

What's Wrong With Conservative and Liberal Thinking On Healthcare.

Everyone is talking about the healthcare issue these days because Obama is once again on the path of destruction in America.  He has taken over banking, the car industry, the credit cards and now before it is too late and the American people wake up, he's ramming healthcare faster than a speeding bullet.  I agree with some of the talk from the right about what Obama's plan is going to do to the nation's healthcare system.  However, we are missing a  key issue.   The patient should be in control of their own health and payment of their healthcare.   Employers should have no business in the patient's care,   government certainly has no rights to the patient's medical care and insurance companies should not be involved either. What's wrong with both Conservative and Liberal thinking on healthcare?  They have the belief that insurance companies are the answer to the healthcare problem.  Hint:  Wrong. It's the patient who holds the answer. 
Bill Frist mentioned on Bennett's Morning In America, that the first thing businesses are going to do when the National Healthcare comes around is that they will force their employees to go on the government's plan because in the business' point of view it will be cheaper and not cut into  profits.   Yes, that will happen to those who are getting their healthcare from their  employers However, some  employers are already forgoing giving employees healthcare benefits.   In fact, many of the companies are now cutting healthcare costs by  passing some of the expense to the employees.  In fact,  more industries, including governments, are  hiring part-time workers to escape the nasty mess of providing healthcare all together.  Their  reasoning behind this is that workers who are temporary part time are easy to replace,  cost effective, allowing management to use them when they need them and do not fall under the protective umbrella of full-time/full benefits workers.  Trust me even the government sectors are using these tactics.  Regardless of whether business' drop healthcare now because of National Healthcare or later because the costs are cutting into profits does not matter.  With the economy being the way it is,  there is no way for businesses to continue enticing employees with benefits.  The most they can do is tell employees that when times are good, they have a job.  When times are bad, there are no guarantees of a job. Not to use a cliche, but we have passed the tipping point. What is the logical step?  Americans become responsible for their own healthcare.  Novel idea, huh? 
Insurance has been a big racket from it's conception.  It is quite similar to the mob.  (Before I get nasty emails, hear me out)  It's paying for protection and hoping nothing happens to you, your family, your belongs, etc  Is there ever a return on the money?  No.  Ask anyone who is over 35 years old, and no traffic violations on their record for over five years, if their rates have gone down. Nine times out of ten, the answer will be no.  The reason why insurances have become such a big industry is because the government has gotten involved and demanded that people must have house insurance, car insurance and now it will be you must have health insurance.  Insurance companies jump at this like a lion who hasn't been fed for weeks and just saw a zookeeper walk into his cage without food.  Yummy, for the lion, not so much for the zoo keeper.  The insurance company will get whatever they can from their customers and in turn tell the doctors, drug companies and hospitals how much they will pay for certain services.  In turn, the health care providers, throw their hands up and say they have no control  and they are at the mercy of the insurance companies.  What is wrong with this picture?  The insurance companies are  in the middle between the patient and treatment.   Think about it ?  If patients don't want the government in the middle, why are the insurance companies allowed in the middle to help decide what should or should not be done?  Perhaps its time for the patient and doctor to work out what the payment should be, what treatment they  should have and what works best for both parties. That is why the Health Savings Account appeals to so many consumers who want their own choices and don't want to be tied down to the red tape, endless paperwork hell of the Insurance companies.  It's time to get the protection racket out of the picture. This won't happen because the poor old  insurance industry will be too big to fail.  Obama would be forced unfortunately, to bailout another industry.  Oh, wait, with his plan this is exactly what he is doing right now.  Sorry Blue Cross, HAP and all the other insurance companies, this is your swan song.  Time to go. 
But wait,  there are those who will still maintain that health insurance is the only way to live.  Assuming that it is better to have health insurance,  for the sake of those who still cling to this racket.    What questions should be asked?  First, wouldn't it be better to shop around?  Wouldn't it be better to tell the insurance companies this is what the customer needs,  how much is the best plan ?  It is insane that consumers can choose their car insurance, home insurance, life insurance but when it comes to healthcare they get whatever comes their way.  This shouldn't be the case.  It also shouldn't be the case that consumer's options for  policies requires them to be responsible for the first 10,000 dollars for emergency care, then the insurance company will pick up the rest.  Why bother with healthcare when the deductibles are too high?   Patients will be in debt up to their eyeballs, and still have to pay the $250 dollar bill every month to the insurance companies.  It doesn't take a math or economy genius to figure this out.    A patient would be better  not to have insurance and  pay down the amount owed by setting up a payment plan with the healthcare provider.  But the poor patent has been brainwashed  by society that they should not have to pay for their own healthcare bills.  That should be someone else's responsibility.   Why is that?  That makes no sense. 
When the government gets involved, how much worse will it be?  For starters, no choices, no control and no communication.  If the paperwork and red tape from Insurance companies is bad, it is ten times worse with the government.  Has anyone done their taxes lately and realized all the loop holes, regulations and forms?   It's a nightmare! It would not be a surprise that the healthcare from good old Uncle Sam would not be any different.  There is only one solution that makes sense and fits every American's situation:  TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.   Americans have got to be trained to understand that they don't need the government to help them make decisions, they are smart enough to do it themselves.  Americans do not need big insurance companies telling them what the best medical coverage is,  but they do need a free market where insurance companies compete for their business.  Competition has always been the best route for consumers.  It's proven to 99% of the time.  It seems that the tipping point has brought about a change in the way health insurance should be doing business or how they should be getting out of business.

Just For Fun! Everyone sing Cold Obama

Kindergarten was my favorite grade.  We always made time for stories and singing.  Since President Obama has taken office, there does not seem much reason to sing.  However,  I've decided I am not going to participate in his gloom and doom.  As a certain talk show host advises,  and we will state the name for purpose of clarity, Rush urges his listeners to think for themselves,  learn for themselves and live life to the fullest, even if the circumstances around you are not ideal. To keep everyone in a happy mood,  lets sing together.  It's a catchy tune that everyone knows.  Remember Old McDonald?  Well try this: 

Cold Obama ran a government, 
E I E I O
And in the government he had a Czar
E I E I O
With a auto czar here, and a healthcare czar there, 
here a czar, there a czar 
everywhere a czar , czar
Cold Obama ran a government 
E I E I  O 

Ready for more?

Cold Obama ran a  Government

This should make us laugh, unfortunately, it may make us cry.

When Will We Impeach?

The collective thought of America today should be,  2010 is too late to strike and win back the country.  That is not the case.  Too  many of our fellow Americans have drank the Kool-aid that is laced with poisonous venom from Obama;'s camp.  In the past 100 days or so,  President Obama and his minions have set in motion the quickest switch to a socialist government ever imaginable.  Not one person on Election Night 2008 would have ever believed that this man would work as quickly, and without opposition.  There is a  need for strong leaders who will stand up for conservative principals,   and from the perspectives of many political observers, these leaders  have left Washington.  So the same old game plan is being used by Republicans, let's find the center and run with it.  How about this for an idea?  Let's find a backbone and run with that!  True conservative principals never die and never lose.  In the meantime,  the taxpayers by the executive Order of Obama, will make sacrifices to ensure for the next generation some glimmer of  hope. Maybe.  Is the man hypocritical or incompetent in leading this country.  Sadly, he is both and then he is not.  He is, as  Pravda would boast of their leaders in Russia, the best Marxist that ever lived.  Obama is not Russian, but he is a very good student of Socialism, Communism and Marxism.  He is building a movement bigger than the other three ideology combined and  enjoying the ride.   It is time to impeach the man for not only being incompetent, but also for treason.  No politician in their right  mind would set this economic disaster in motion without first thinking: How can I destroy America and make it work to my advantage?  Obama, Yes he can! 
Arguments that this is just fear mongering is for those who wish to place their heads firmly into the sand.  The evidence is overwhelming on the path that Obama has taken thus far.  First the banks.  Bailout as many banks as possible,  give out money without the intentions to track it,  create a "stress" test for banks that meets the Government standard of pass or fail and   do not let bankers pay back loans.  It's is a protection plan that only a thug in the Sopranos could administer, but alarmingly it is coming from the United States Government.  Now the government owns the banks. 
The next step to killing the American economy was a natural one.  Tied in with the banking,   Obama has  decreed  that Mortgage s and credit card companies must change their standard practice of business.   Mortgage companies can not foreclose on homes where the owners can not pay their monthly payments The credit card companies can not charge additional interest rates for those who do not pay on time.  In other words,  the financial sector of American Business  has just been told that they can not make money.  How many people does this policy actually help?  Well according to MSNBC,  Obama's expansion  of an existing 300 billion dollar program which aims tp adjust mortgage rates, aided a mere 50 homeowners out of 400,000 it was intended to help.  In other words,  the Americans who are suppose to live within their means can not do so under Obama's rescue.  That is by design, not accident.   After all If homeowners printed more money, they'd be in jail.  Obama does it because he can! 
Next, the Auto companies.  Print money to bailout the Big Three.  Knowing all along that the money could not save the companies from bankruptcy.  Tell the people what they want to hear.  Obama will fix everything,  only he and his mighty government can.  Remember bankruptcy was not an option, the auto industry was too big to fail.   The government now owns 70% of GM,  which has declared bankruptcy on June 1, 2009.  The President's Press Office claims that they will initiate plans for the Government to hand the company back over to the Auto Executives.  Believe this,  there will be a "Stress" test imposed on the Auto industries just as it is applied to the Banks.  The Great Stimulus of 2009 hasn't even managed one spark of hope. Many Chrysler dealerships are now fighting to stay open, because the White House has decreed that the dealerships are not viable.  When looking at the sales receipts of the dealership,  it appears that there is a blatant attempt to destroy the Auto Industries.  Why?  The only conclusionan be that Obama plans include the Auto Industries as another business in their control.  What's next?  Don't be alarmed:  Healthcare. 
On Wednesday,  May 27 Obama told his rich supporters in Hollyweird, that the economy was getting better.  We have turned the corner.   Yet, today only a mere five days later,  he announces that the Economy will take longer to recover and that even though we did not choose to sacrifice taxpayers will do it anyways.  Again, by the decree of the President.  It is not a stretch to say, Michigan can not handle more job losses.   Yet, just when the April unemployment numbers are at a record high,  Obama pulls the plugs on more jobs, and businesses.  Smart?  Yes, if one is looking to orchestrate a controlled crisis.  Not to worry,  single handily, Obama  has saved or created 500,000 new jobs.  That's liberal speak for, "It's fuzzy math, but don't worry in the end everything will be worth zilch so it doesn't matter anyways." 
Extremist Muslims and other who hate what American has been able to accomplish, have stated that the way to destroy America is within and through the financial systems.  Causing the rift in ties to American enterprise,  and a strong economy.  Could it be that the President is working with the enemy?  This is treason.  it is time to impeach before he destroys the country further.  Before our liberties are nothing more than a fading memory.

It may be too early to say this ...

On MSN.com web page there is an article stating that President Obama is the consequential leader, at least according to Chuck Todd.  The meaning of consequential is "having significant consequences."  That would be safe to say.  President Obama's policies will have a huge impact on the American way of life.  For  you Obamanites, that means that your life will change because the government will grant you all that you have dreamed of,  healthcare,  gun ownership stripped away,  freedom of speech denied, and a beloved ruler like Chavez or Castro.  There is cause for hope,  according to MSN's own poll which asks the Average Joe to grade the President's performance,  at 1:00 pm this afternoon, the tally read  that 37.8 % gave Obama an A, while 35% gave him an F.  If we needed proof that the GReat Obama is not totally embraced by the American public this is it.  Barak Obama's approval rating may be ready to take a fall.

100 Days and counting

The media is going nuts over Obama,  that isn't new, however,  they are looking at this first 100 days in office as if this is there is nothing more that this President needs to accomplish.  Yes, in 100 days the man has been able to tackle all the topics of the day, called in the CEOs from every sector of the economy to lecture then on the greatness of HIS plan and how they must kowtow to him.   He has conferences and break out sessions that produced nothing but more hot air.    Obama has apologized profusely for all the ills that America has done and asked leaders around the world to not blame him for events such as the Bay of Pigs because he was only three years old back then.   Wait folks, that's not all.  In a way that only Obama knows how, he has endorsed the killings of innocents around the world but pledging tax payers dollars to fund abortions,  he has spent more in 100 days than any of his predecessors,  he has made us weaker by revealing national secrets and he has made it a personal vendetta to discredit anything the Bush Administration accomplished.   Whew!  Who knew  that so much could be done in such little time?  This is the moment that all liberals have been dreaming about.  The moment when America ceases to be the land of the free and  the home of the brave to the land of the forlorn and home of the beaten.  
Now that the 100 days mark has passed, should the taxpayers dare to ask "What's next?" What should happen next and what will happen are two different realities.  Republicans in Washington need to get a backbone and oppose legislations which stands in the way of personal freedom,  raising taxes and national security.  With Obama's approval rating very high, most Republicans are afraid to buck a popular president.  After all,  2010 is just around he corner, and some of them have campaigns that they need to win. Looking at the polls more closely, it is clear to see that while people like Obama as a person,  his policies do not sit well with most voters. The fact remains that his approval rating is at 68-70%.    If one dares to look back at Bush's first 100 days in office they w ill find  that he Democrats were bold enough to knock down the President even when his approval ratings were good.  As a matter of fact,  Democrats will cut their opponents down to size in good times and in bad.  If Obama's policies are bad for our country then it should be pointed out to the American people without fear of retaliation.  The retaliation is what some Republicans fear and would like to avoid.  Liberals win again.  Freedom of speech is always the first to go. 
What will happen next is unfortunate.  Obama and his administration are busy contriving ways of blocking Republican votes on national health care, silencing conservative talk shows and seizing opportunities to gain government ownership of the private sector.  The only transparency of this Administration is that they want it all and they want it now.

100 Days and counting

media is going nuts over Obama,  that isn't new, however,  they are looking at this first 100 days in office as if this is there is nothing more that this President needs to accomplish.  Yes, in 100 days the man has been able to tackle all the topics of the day, called in the CEOs from every sector of the economy to lecture then on the greatness of HIS plan and how they must kowtow to him.   He has conferences and break out sessions that produced nothing but more hot air.    Obama has apologized profusely for all the ills that America has done and asked leaders around the world to not blame him for events such as the Bay of Pigs because he was only three years old back then.   Wait folks, that's not all.  In a way that only Obama knows how, he has endorsed the killings of innocents around the world but pledging tax payers dollars to fund abortions,  he has spent more in 100 days than any of his predecessors,  he has made us weaker by revealing national secrets and he has made it a personal vendetta to discredit anything the Bush Administration accomplished.   Whew!  Who knew  that so much could be done in such little time.  This is the moment that all liberals have been dreaming about.  The moment when America ceases to be the land of the free and  the home of the brave to the land of the forlorn and home of the beaten.  
Now that the 100 days mark has passed, should the taxpayers dare to ask "What's next?" What should happen next and what will happen are two different realities.  Republicans in Washington need to get a backbone and oppose legislations which stands in the way of personal freedom,  raising taxes and national security.  With Obama's approval rating very high, most Republicans are afraid to buck a popular president.  After all,  2010 is just around he corner, and some of them have campaigns that they need to win. Looking at the polls more closely, it is clear to see that while people like Obama as a person,  his policies do not sit well with most voters. The fact remains that his approval rating is at 68-70%.    If one dares to look back at Bush's first 100 days in office they w ill find  that he Democrats were bold enough to knock down the President even when his approval ratings were good.  As a matter of fact,  Democrats will cut their opponents down to size in good times and in bad.  If Obama's policies are bad for our country then it should be pointed out to the American people without fear of retaliation.  The retaliation is what some Republicans fear and would like to avoid.  Liberals win again.  Freedom of speech is always the first to go. 
What will happen next is unfortunate.  Obama and his administration are busy contriving ways of blocking Republican votes on national health care, silencing conservative talk shows and seizing opportunities to gain government ownership of the private sector.  The only transparency of this Administration is that they want it all and they want it now. All of these movements are not baby steps, they are giant leaps into weakening of  the economy,  rights of citizens and free-market system.  Making the argument that these ideals have never worked, is an argument that the left will not engage in because in their view it has worked and will work here. Regardless that the evidence reveals the failures of the left's ideals. If the Republicans will not stand up against the tide of socialism, who will?   The Republican party is desperate for a leader and that person is no where to be found.  The First 100 days is just an appetizers to what will be coming in the next four years.  More government, more taxes and  more of the same liberal lies.

The Tea Parties Message!

It would be nice to say that on April 15th that the leaders in congress,  Republicans and Democrats alike, would have gotten the message from the rednecks, racist, antigovernment, tea parties attendees.  However,  it seems as though they either decided  to dismiss it as if the protest were from people who are bitter about the election or make crude sex jokes about these voters as a way to discredit their voice.  If there are any shrewd politicians out there,  and there is reason to believe that anyone with an ounce of common sense  has long ago left Washington,  they would take the message seriously. There is a simple message that these Tea Parties are stating loud and clear. Taxpayers are fed up. Taxpayers want to see a return to conservative principals not reforming our way of life.  

If the congressmen and women would listen closely, they will find that there are three very important points that these Anti-tax, antigovernment protesters are trying to get across.  First,  who ever voted for massive spending, bailouts and tax increases,  will not only have a lot of explaining to do for their action, they may end up in the unemployment line like many of their fellow citizens who have lost their jobs.  This means that if it was a Republican, a Democrat or an Independent who said YES to Tarp,  the voters will now say NO to these men and women come election day.  It is that simple.  This has nothing to do with party lines, this has to do with being responsible to the voters.   For those Congressman and Senators who want to join the movement because they see that it benefits their chances for reelection.  Don't bother joining the fight.  The protesters do not want lip service, they want action.  

Second,  the left wing liberals would have everyone believe that this is all about class preservation.  That is to say, that the rich want to remain rich and keep the poor and middle class in their perspective places.  At the rallies there were no representation from the rich.  In the crowds familiar faces like Bill Gates,  Steve Forbes, or George Soros were not seen.  Why would  they show up?  They pay taxes but they also have lobbyists, lawyers, accountants and many more employees who assist them come tax times.  No doubt that they pay  their “fair share”, however they also have the means to make their voices heard.   The  people who gathered were common folks, middle class hard working Americans who pay their taxes.  Average citizens do not ahve lobbyists who will make sure their vocies are heard.  Most of the Middle Class purchase a copy of Turbo Tax, and preapare their taxes  themselves.  The burdens of taxation falls squarely on their shoulders becasue when 30 % is taken out their paychecks, they feel the pain of struggleing to make ends meet.  The Obama administration would like to pass the line that everyone has to have skin in the game, but no where in that crowd were the people who do not pay taxes.  Families on welfare were absent from this crowd.  Illegal immigrants were not there either.  Could it be that they were too busy trying to find more handouts that our government is only too willing to give?   The irony of  taxes is that Obama’s own tax returns prove the Tea Parties' point.   In 2007 he made 4 million dollars, not bad for a Community Organizer.  According to MSNBC,  one of his favorite news soruce, He paid $1,396,772  in federal taxes.  . The  Tea Parties' do not envy Obama for his success or the money he made.  What the Tea Parties' do object to is the fact that no matter how much money we make, the government takes most of it.  For the Obamas, they probably did not feel the pain that much when they paid their taxes.  The average Joe in 2007 paid 32.15 % of their income in taxes, which includes state and local tax.   If 32.15% is not enough for Congress what will be enough?  If the taxpayers do not stand up now,  it is quite possible that taxes will continue to go up not down.  How long will it take for the tax rate to reach 50%?  If Obama has his way with National Healthcare, and other social programs that bring more dependents on the government dole, it can happen quickly.  

Third,  the American voter will not  give up their freedoms  without a fight.  Country after country have tried different forms of socialism and have failed.   Marxism did not work.  Fascism failed in Italy.  Communism failed in Russia.  China with a little help from Capitalism is trying to make Communism work there also.  However, it does not seem to be an all out success there either. . What should have American leaders learned from this?  The Human spirit is stronger than any  one individual demands for power.   What may be more damaging to our leaders in Government than anything else is that they have forgotten America’s history.   Americans are the first rebel rousers and fire in the belly nation.  Our forefathers fought for  this country to be free and to remain free of tyranny.  The Boston Tea Party was one example of fighting back, but the true test of the forefathers resolve and belief in the republic came when they wrote the Declaration of Independence.  It began with the words “We  the People, “   This is a precious gift they bestowed upon future Americans.  They gave the people the gift of freedom, which we are finding out, it is a gift to be protected, preserved and passed on to the next generations.  Freedom is not for wimps,  it’s for winners.   The Tea Parties are just another chapter in American History where common every day folks fight   a government gone too far.

Obama's America

Harvard is certainly not turning out the best and the brightest these days.  Our President is the proof of that.  Before the liberals go haywire and complain that we dare to question the man's whose IQ is off the charts,  there are  a few things we need to clear the air about.  One,  Obama is not perfect.  Heck, he doesn't even come close to it because as he stated in one of his campaign speeches when he becomes President he would have a positive effect on everything including how the earth's tide rise and fall.   Has the earth moved for anyone in the past  50 or so days?   Second,  Obama is doing what he has done as a community organizer.  Study the problem, talk about the problem and spend your way out of the problem.   Problem solved?  No, but he feels really good about how he has tried to make things better.  Third,  our newly elected President has surrounded himself with the worst and the dullest to help lead America out of these troubled times.  If W was as dumb as the liberal  say he was,   we can only hope to obtain that level of stupidity.  Let's face it George W.  did make mistakes but not in the first fifty days of his term.  At least he spread out his mistakes over eight years.  What is scary to think, is that Obama is not making a mistake on accident... he is doing it on purpose.  It is time to send out an S.O.S.
In Obama's America, we are finding that the President really does believe in distributing the wealth and taxing the rich.  He has sent a witch hunt out for all the rich folks who hide their money in Swiss accounts and will penalize them.  Excuse me, Mr. President.   Would you like to take a look at your own cabinet members and count how many of  them have tried to evade taxes?  Let's also make villains out of rich folks who can have the luxury of flying their own planes.  Don't they know, those silly rich people,   planes are for government officials not for folks like them or us.  (Note to future generations:  Scrap the dream of becoming so rich that you an afford your own plan and fly around whenever you want.  It will be against the law in America.)  Here's a thought for  the Harvard grad,  if  government keeps taxing the rich,  the rich will quit making money and then who will you tax?  The Middle class?    Obama says that the middle class is his highest priority,  but it is ironic that the one class that he would like to give more attention to will be the one that will get hurt the most.  Or is this his hope?  That the middle class will become a dependent class.  Basic economics will beg the answer for this question:  how will the government support a growing number of dependents?  Where will the money come from?  China?  Make more money?  
In Obama's America,  $410 million dollars are spent on outrageously idiotic pet projects, while the President calls it an imperfect bill but it will be a signal that this kind of spending has to stop.  Really?  This is a signal that pork spending  will not be tolerated in future bills?  Was that in the fine print of  the 1,000 plus pages of the bill?  If it was,  how many of the happy fat cats senators actually read that fine print?  Mr. Obama,  if the taxpayers can be so bold as to request that next time there is a budget that needs to be signed,  think about the people who are struggling to put food on their tables and are more worried about if they can buy a pig to eat then spend money to see why the pig's gas stinks.   A better signal to the end of out of control spending, would have been to veto the entire bill because it had too many extras.   
In Obama's America,  it is perfectly fine to have the First Lady pose for cell phone pictures while serving out risotto at a local soup kitchen.  It is amazing that none of the media asked the question,  why  does this homeless person have a cell phone?  How does he pay for this cell phone?  To where does the cell phone provider send the bill if the person is homeless?   Let's not judge these people who can not afford a home or a meal, but by golly at least they have the cell phone.  I get it now.  Obama's America is making perfect sense to me now.   Spend money on what you don't need, and  for life's necessities depend on handouts from the government.  Thanks but no thanks.   Obama's America is too rich for my blood.

$13.00 IN Tax Credit

This tax season, have a serious talk with your tax preparer and ask them to explain Obama's tax plan.  It turns our that this Trojan Horse is going to hurt American taxpayers in the end.   In Obama's plan,  the $13.00 more a week is not due to changing the tax tables it is rather changing the take home pay tables.  The tax rates remain the same, therefore the $13.00 per week will be taxed as regular income,  Sneaky,  yes.  Surprised, not really.  Everything Obama has done in the past month has been a gift to himself and his supporters  rather then a gift to the American public   Perhaps, it would not be a bad idea for American Taxpayers to be like some Republican Governors,  and tell the Obama administration, thanks but no thanks.  The tax cuts that are being proposed will not help American families and American families should refuse to accept this measly $13.00.  Our country's freedom from socialism is much more expensive than giving it up for $13.00 a week.   Just a thought.

Obama Asks How Gullible Are You?

This past month has been very revealing when it comes to the new President.  In the first month, he has managed to turn the economy upside down,  spend more than any president in his first thirty days and takes a much needed extended weekend before an upcoming crucial Senate vote on his spending bill, aka. this is what is a stimulus is to a Democrat.   it is safe to say that he is not the messiah.  After all Jesus said the Temples would be destroyed and in three days he would rebuild the church.  Obama, on the other hand, has destroyed the American Economy and stated it will take years to rebuild.  Is this  the hope we can believe in? 
It is truly amazing that the Obamanites are still out there in droves chanting the mantra,  "Obama is great!  Obama is the one!"   Ask anyone of the why they believe that Obama is doing a good job.  "He gives hope.   Give him a chance."   Give him a chance to do what?  Destroy the American Dream?   No sir.  With all due respect,  every American Citizens should stand firm against Obama and his policy.  It should not be that in America in 2009 that we can not disagree with our President and hold him accountable for the decisions that he is making on our behalf.  His policy thus far are dangerous if not on the line of treason.  He must be stopped, especially since he has done a 180 degree turn away from his Spend, spend, spend policy to cutting the deficit in half.  
Obama's summit will have accomplished nothing today but will help those who have contributed feel really good about themselves.  The Fiscal Responsibility Summit's aim is to find ways to cut the deficit while spending trillions of dollars on useless programs.  Anyone who has a high school  education can tell you that red is not a good color when it comes to money and accounting.  The only way to get out of red is find ways of cutting things out or find other sources of income.  Would anyone like  to venture a guess as to which way Obama would like to go?  The other sources of income seems very likely for Obama.  Don't fret,  Obama is not going to get a second job at McDonald's or Walmart to help supplement the government's spending.  He will raise the  taxes on the average Joe to get America into the black.  (Don't worry Joe Biden,  you are not average.  You are safe from the dreadful tax hikes.) It looks as though taxpayers will be getting that second job just to afford living.  
How gullible is the American public?  Will they buy the spin that Obama is finding ways to cut the deficit despite the fact that he has spent trillions of dollars in the past month?  Will they buy the excuse that Obama had no choice but to do this because Bush was a bad president and left his with this huge budget problem?  (Don't forget Americans,  Obama encouraged Bush to do the first bailout and voted for the first stimulus package.)   It is certainly seems as though some American voters has fallen into a trance,  but there are enough of us who have not bought the Obama lies.  Now is the time to call for action.  If you believe in saving the American Dream for our children and ourselves,  join the  Facebook group,  "Protecting the American Dream"  Let your voice be heard.  Washington will hear us and know that the minority Conservative giant has awaken and he does not like what is happening to our country.
