Maxine Waters Has it Right

Every now and then the Democrats get it right, and it is just a matter of time before the infamous Maxine Waters Democrat from California, actually said something enlightening.  Now don't you all fall off your seats.  It was not a major revelation on Ms. Waters part.  Yet,  it does say something about the Democrat mood right now.  It is called FRUSTRATION.  Which is really a nice thing to see, because it may be an indication that conservatives may finally get their message across.  Maybe.  
So what did the esteemed Ms. Waters have to say that was right on point?  The march on Washington has done something to rattle her nerves.  On the Liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast she called for serious journalists to investigate the "teabaggers" and "birthers."  Her exact words, "I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed. I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers."  Since a liberal Democrat contacted  the Government controlled media to cover this story it could be the opportunity for the teabaggers and birthers to explain that the main agenda of these rallies is stop the spending and destruction of America.  It's all about taxes, government out of control and returning this great nation on the principals that it was founded upon.  (By the way, Ms. Waters we would find that information in the Constitution.  That document that you swore to defend when you took office. ) 
Hearing Ms. Waters  and  reading her words latter.  It is apparent that another word was spoken  in her little demand. Did anyone catch the word "whitey"?   It should be  clear  to  anyone who heard Joe Wilson say "boy" after  his "you lie" statement.  Could it be that Ms. Waters is projecting her anger on voters who she believes are predominately white.  In case the liberals have missed it, and  they have.  Here's an overview on the people who showed up at the rallies:  Young, old, white, black, latino, Asian, blue collar, white collar,  physically challenged,  and  the list goes on.  Yes, these people are the poster children for the new KKK.   Senator Robert Bryd should be so proud.  
If Congresswoman Waters is so interested in knowing who the protesters are and what they really think, then she should ask to be on shows with  Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin to debate the merits of protesters claims.  Anyone one of  these fine gentlemen would not only be able to educate the Congresswoman from California but would answer any questions she may have.  If that is not an option, because debating with these men would mean having a solid position to argue.  Debate someone as lowly as myself.  A common, educated worker who is barely making it in Obama's economy. Even without the college education, it is apparent  that his plan will not only suck the life out of my hard work but will suck the very life out of this nation. This is who the teabaggers and birthers are, and proudly we stand united.

Who Apologizes?

It is about time that someone begins calling out the liberals on their hypocrisy.  It is a waste of Congress' time to be voting on a resolution to censure Rep Joe Wilson.  It is a surprise that they would even consider doing this since they are on the road of destroying America.   This must be their "recess" where they get to have  a little sport to break up the boring day to day grind of restructuring the government,  banks,  corporations and health care.  Boy, they do have  a lot on their plates!  If the Democrats in congress are going to make a hay day out of Wilson's comment, for which he has apologized to the President,  it is only fair to go after their indiscretions and bad behavior.  Here's the list so far. 

Nancy Pelosi likes to call the CIA liars because she can't remember what she supported and it makes her look good to her constituents.  Who happen to be the nut cases from San Fransico.  We all know the types,  the gay lobbyists  the environmentalists, the anti-war and anti-Bush people who still believe that 9/11 was a set up.  In her own words Pelosi denounces the CIA for misleading her and other lawmakers on the use of the techniques used by the CIA against combative terrorists. "We were told that waterboarding was not being used.  That's the only mention, that they were not using it. And we now know that earlier they were."    Pelosi knew how long the CIA was using water boarding because she went along with the practice.  As soon as it is not good for her politically to do so, she lies her way through a press conference to get the blame off of her.  Amazing to see what one will do for power!  She has not issued an apology yet on the matter.  We shouldn't hold our breaths,  it's not coming. 

Good old Murtha is good for a lie or two when he is accused the United States Marine  of murder.  His exact quote on Good Morning America back in May of 2006 "United States Marines of killing . . . innocent civilians in cold blood" and accused higher military officers of covering up murder.  It's a shame that the fine citizens of Pennsylvania do not have a Military Veteran representing them.  Oh, wait, Jack Murtha is a Vet.  One who  behaves as if it is a crime to serve in the Military.   As of June 17, 2008, six defendants had their cases dropped and one was found not guilty.  To date, there has been no apologies to the men who were accused.  What a disgraceful act of arrogance on the part of Murtha. 

President Barack Obama apologizes when it seems to be appropriate by his standards.  For example in France he stated,    “In America, there’s a failrue to appreciate Europes leading role in the world.  Instead of celebrting your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to met common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismmisve, even derisive.”  That’s right , blame American for becoming successful.  Blame America the country that is always defendin freedom, not only on our soil but everywhere in the world.  Blame the counry tht is hte first to respond in times of cirsis and disaster.   By the way, Mr. Obama the same counry that you are disgusted with, is your Country,  Or is it?  It does cause some concern about where his loyalty lies if our country should be under attack again. 


This should make some liberals happy.  At least we can say that Obama can make an apology.  To bad it’s for American instead of to America.

Tea Party Musing.

A quick observation of the left's unraveling over the tea party.  Why is it okay for the left to protest and not average, American taxpayers who are struggling to keep the country that they love?  When the Pink Brigade protested against the War,  they got to have their say.  When the 9/11 Truthers wanted to and still do, blame President Bush for the attacks on that fateful day,  they are allowed to have their say.  However,  grandmothers, stay at home moms,  conservatives and others must remain silent because the liberals do not agree with their views.  When did that become public norm? 
Yesterday,  at the Tea Party Express Rally in Troy, Michigan, there were Americans from every walk of life there to protest what can only be called the beginning of the end of American's Rights.  There were old, young,  white collar and blue collar workers standing together taking a stand against their government.  One could describe it as a community effort, or dare it be said out loud, a community organizing together to bring about positive change.  It may come to a surprise to the President, but he has inspired many  people to do what he has done for years,  protest and change the laws that do not benefit you or your community. The only difference here,  these people are not looking for the handouts.  Instead, these people are looking to smack the hand that are reaching into their pockets to take away their hard earned dollars.  
Whatever the President or Congress wants to call their plan,  Healthcare or Insurance Reform, it still comes out as another layer of government intruding on the private citizen.   There are no logical plans on  how the government is going to pay for this much less run the program.  It's a  knee jerk reaction to a small number of the populations who claim that they are victims of the health care industry.  The true victims of  the healthcare industry?  The Consumer.  For every person who walks into the Emergency room, demands treatment and  can not pay the bill , there is another patient who is walking out the emergency room with a bill  over thousands of dollars, and pays for it, either with aid for Health Insurance or a savings account. Both patients are treated,  yet one pays for both of them.   This is how hospitals cover the costs of taking care of patients.  Raise the prices hoping that one person can pay  in order to break even for the ones who can't.   Is it fair?  No, but taking care of patients takes a lot of money.   Someone has to pay for it. 
Where does this vicious circle end?  Common sense tells us that the only person who truly cares for our well being is ourselves and loved ones.  Insurance companies do not care about the health of their clients,  there is always the bottom line to be more concerned about.  If these companies do not create a profit, the shareholders will not longer invest in the company.  Does this make all Insurance companies bad?  No, they are providing a service.  It is after all a business that needs to turn a profit in order to stay afloat.   For those who are pro-Obamacare, it would be nice if they would consider one question.  If the Insurance companies have to worry about the bottom line, why wouldn't a government run system have to worry about the same bottom line?  The answer to that question is quite obvious.  They do have to worry about the bottom line, which logically indicates that they will use  tactics that the Health Insurance companies are being demonized for now.  What makes this worse, is once the Government seizes control over healthcare,  consumers will be forced to have it whether they want it or not, and there will be no recourse to demand better performance.  When a company like Blue Cross messes up,  a consumer has a right shop around to  another company.  This is called consumer options and control.   When the government messes up,  what options will the consumers have?  Simple, none.   
This all adds up to one dirty little secret that liberals don't want the rest of us to know.  The best way to control a group is by taking away their security.  Raising taxes on all fronts,  energy,  health,  food, and recreation, reduces the spending power and options that Americans have.  Once the populations can not afford any of these items,  they turn to help from the source that has all the money and power.  The Government.   The Cap and Trade, Healthcare and Bailouts are just the beginning of the biggest grab of control by our Government.  It's time for conservatives to start their own recycle and save the world program.   Let's recycle every representative and Senator, all the way up to the President, and start over.   This government needs to have the garbage thrown out.   It's time to return to traditional, conservative values that have never failed this country.  It's time to end the Obamination of our country.

Yup! It Has Been Proven that Liberal Media Has Double Standards

See the following link: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/09/03/flashback-1991-gephardt-called-

In the last post,  it was  pondered what would the media had said if Bush had done a speech to school kids.  Well,  Newsbusters.org helped to answer that question.  Apparently in 1991,  President George HW. Bush  delivered a speech to schools and the result was that Gephardt had a hissy fit.   It appears that the media did too!  So why is there no outrage here?  Why is the White House insisting this is just the "silly" season for politics?  It seems that unless Obama does not get thrown out of office before his term is up,  his entire Presidency will be considered the "silly" season for politics and American History.   God, the reference here is to the deity above not Obama, help us all!

Public Education Another Arm Of The Obama Propaganda Machine.

Is it crazy to believe that the public school system is indoctrinating a generation of drones, who are  the future of our country?  Is it crazy to believe that i parents who do not agree with the Presdient’s agenda might be turend in by the School districts ?  Worse yet,  will children be instructed to tattle on Mom and Dad if they say anti-Obama statements?  Don't panic this is not the lunatic rants of a right-wing extremist.  These are the concerns of an American Citizen who has studied history enough to know we are going down a very slippery path. 

Every dictator has their own method of controlling the population, but the basic blueprint has always been flowery rhetoric, finding a scapegoat,  re-education of  the young and silencing the opposition.  Obama's administration is just following the script that has been used by the communist, socialists,  marxists and statists for years!   No this is not the rants of someone who has lost a grip with reality.  Just the opposite.  The reality is that the hard wok that our forefathers put into in creating a government free of tryanny is now going down the drain.  

This realization came to mind when it was announced that Obama will be speaking to children across the nation on September 8th, in an attempt to have chidlren think about how they can be of “service” to Barack Obama, the enlightened Preseident.  Or is he?  First,  to view the I Pledge! video go to www.youtube.com.  This four minute video is strickly a leftist propaganda video..  Who better to present the left side of life than the folks from Hollyweird themselves.  Things covered are global warming,  unicef, healthcare  mixed in with pledging to smile, love and be a better person.  Once again,  bring in the warm and fuzzy feelings and anyone who dares to agrue against it must be heartless.  Right?  Sorry, but this game plan has be used since the 30’s if not earlier.  However what makes this worrisome is that as an adult, logic can be used to deduce how the video is playing on emotion.  For children,  it is all about emotion.  Children can not see between the lines to see that they are being played.  What chidlren want to do is help and please grown ups.  So who better to please than the President of the United States?  

Towards the end of this video,  we hear the words “change, change, change” and “pledge, pledge pledge,”  Who knew that Obama can do a remix of his past campaign hit.  This is not the hope and change that parents were hoping for in our Country.  Perhaps what they wanted were schools that would instruct their chidlren in math and science in order that they could become doctors or engineers.  P erhaps, they thought that good solid American History lessons would be in order so that tomorrow’s leaders will not be making the same mistakes as today’s leaders.  Gee,  it might also be nice if they learned about English grammar  and the literature that shaped the ideas of the western society.  Too bad that is not in Obama’s plan.  He wants to have his own “Obama’s Youth.” 

Don’t think that this is a joking matter.  On YouTube there is another distrubing video entiled BARACK OBAMA KIDS AND HITLER YOUTH SING FOR THEIR LEADER.  The video begins with a sweet little girl singing how Obama is going to lead , change and rearrange it., meaning our coutnry.  The song itself is  very upbeat and inspirational, leading to the chants “Yes, we can.”   Now, keep in mind that in debating when making comparisons between two  people,  the comparisons must not be over exaggerated and they must be valid.  This video accomplishes both, demonstrating that the fears of Obama’s Youth is not that far off the mark.  The image of Germany’s chidlren singing about the virture of folliwng Hitler is chilling.  Just as chilling as hearing a little girl singing happily “we are going to change it,  rearrange it’.  Imagine if he Bush Administrtion had put out this type of video.  What would he left be saying?  If their behavior over wire tapping is any indication as to how they would have handled the situation, it is safe to say that it would have been  a bit overboard.  Wouldn’t it be safe to assume they would have called for Bush’s impeachment? (Frankly, I would have agreed with them had Bush done something this stupid)   Wait,  they did call for his impeachment.  The reason,  he wanted to spy on terriorists to find out if they were planning to attack American cities. Great balls of Fire!  What presdient would want to vilolate the rights of terrorists?  It is so much easier to blame America for the harmful acts of Terrorists and indoctriante a generation into  giving up their freedoms. 

Children should not pledge anything to any leader.  Their job in life is to do well in their studies,  obey their  parents and enjoy their  carefree childhood days.  They should not be brainwashed into a liberal agenda.  Any school who pledges to show Obama’s speech and video should hear from parents in the way of calls to the Superintendents and keeping their children home.  It should not be a surpise to any public school if parents  decide to look for other options to educating their children.  If private or charter schools are out of the picdture,  perhaps homeschooling isn’t such a bad idea after all.   Sadly,  the public school system is just another arm of the Obama’s Propaganda Machine.

Obama's Book List : You Can Judge A Reader By His Books

The President is back at the White House after a long week’s vacation at Martha’s Vineyard.  Before he left,  the White House staff released his reading list for this vacation.  After  golfing , the funneral, and family time  when did Mr. Obama have time to get through such an ambitious list?   Perhaps, he is a speed reader,  we will give him the benefit of  the doubt.  In any case,  the titles he selected to reader were: 

 

The Way Home by George Pelecanos,   all lawyers love a crime thrillers based in Washington, D.C..  Where else do they get the idea of total corruption and power? 


Lush Life by Richard Price.  Not a surprising pick by Mr. Obama since it is set in New York’s Lower East side and is about racism. 


Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas L. Friedman What would light summer reading be without a little bit of environmentalism radical activism. 


John Adams by David McCullough.  Wonder if he was at all inspired by this former President.  


Plainsong by Kent Haruf.  Who put this on his list to read may not remember that the man is from Chicago thug land.  It is hard to see how a a drama about the life of eight characters living in a Colorado prairie community would be interesting to him.  However, it may help him understand how to recruit effective community organizers on a  ranch without getting run out of town. 


What would really be interesting to see is what books would be Mr. Obama’s core list of books.  The books that he loves, and returns to time and time again.  No official word has come from the White House but here  is one guess that would be correct,  Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of Pillage of Contentment.   by Eduardo Galeano. Obama received the book by Chavez, so it is safe to assume that because the two men share the same views on politics,  it was read in haste, highlighted and kept near  at hand for references purposes.  Here are the next top ten books that are probably on Obama’s bookshelf. 


Rules for Radicals by Saul D. Alinsky.  Well duh!  Everything he has done so far matches step by step this radical man’s plan. 


1984 by George Orwell.  In high school  it is required reading and it stirs up debates as  to whether or not a government could take that much control over private lives.  Obama’s answer to that:  YES WE CAN!  For him,  this book is a gold mine of ideas.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.  Another classic that gives Obama wonderful ideas of how to govern, control and create the perfect society. 

All The President’s Men by Bernstein and Woodward.   The glory days of how the Democrats were able to shake up the government enough to have a Republican President step down from office.  Who doesn’t like to remember  the  good old days,  even if parts of the story are based on fabrications? 


The next section could be labeled as books from my favorite philosopher and dictators:  Wage and Labor,  A Communist Manifesto both  by Marx, Mien Kemp by Hitler,  War, Racism and Economic Justice by Castro. All of these titles are against capitalism, freedom and private citizens.  It is all about class warfare,  control and government having the ultimate authority.    Each one of these title could substitute the bible for liberals. 


Class Struggle by Karl Kautsky is a classic tome on the theme of class warfare, and how to even the field for everyone.  In other words, spread the wealth around. 


Last but of course not least,  Socialism on Trial by James P. Cannon which is the step by step dismantling of capitalism in favor of socialism, communism as a way to govern the working people.  Mr. Cannon was the secretary of the National Socialist Party in the United States during FDR’s Administration.  Cannon was jailed for his opposition to the Administration during war time.  His agreements were futile then as they are now.  However, that does not stop liberals.  Although, one has to ask how they feel about one of  their favorite President’s throwing someone in jail because they dared to take a stand?  


This list could totally be off, and none of these books are on Obama’s bookshelf.  However, watching the President in the past couple of months shows that at least 90% percent of the list is correct.  It would be wonderful to hear from the White House that would either confirm or deny this claim.  In any case,  it wouldn’t hurt for a few conservatives to pick up one or two of  these titles to get a better insight as to what we are up against.

What Liberals Don't Get... There Is No Free Lunch

Who is irrational, someone who believes everything is free or someone who believes he can get everyone else to pay for the good of others?  Trick question.  The answer is  both are irrational and illogical.   Perhaps someone can explain why liberals continue to pound the notion to the American public that the necessities in life must be free.  Free for who?  Will they ever come clean with their scams?  This idea has been pushed to the forefront since the debate on healthcare began.  Everyone wants to be equal and have the best care.  True  With Government mandating equality will make it a reality.  False.  As stated in previous blogs,  Government can not mandate equality.   To re-educate the youth of today,  here is the very first lesson of the school year.  Boys and Girls, there is  no such thing as a Free Lunch.  If you are not paying up front for the items you need,  rest assured you will be paying for it in other more costly ways.  
It is not a coincidence that people who want, love and demand national healthcare are the same one who are soaking the system dry through Medicaid, Medicare or some other government run program.  They are enjoying the free ride now, but the ride will come to an end sooner or later.  Right now they are scared at the back lash that the debate has caused and are afraid that if the program does not expand, they will lose their "ride".  Guess what?  When people can't find work,  can't make their mortgages or car payments, and are buying less groceries there is not much left to pay taxes.  The government intake will be less and the funding for these programs will be gone. Case in point, this year the government has taken in less revenue.   The piggy bank is not as full as it once was.  Taxpayers are fed up with paying for those who refuse to take care of themselves and who do not put anything into the system.  One of the woman on Sean Hannity's Great American panels for Healthcare debate proved that point.  She quit her $12 an hour job just so that she could get on Medicaid and she declared to America she wants Healthcare Reform because we spent too much on an ill-fated war. Here's a response to that woman:  there are many people in Michigan alone who would love a $12 an hour job.  There are also doctors and clinics who realize the bind people are in and will work to help with medical needs  without soaking the system dry.   Get a job, lady.  
To many items in the National budget are wasteful, including the latest ponzi scheme the Democrats are pushing.  Social Security is the biggest scam of all, but it laid the blueprint for how to confiscate the public's money with good intentions.  Who could argue against making provisions for older folks to be taken care of in their golden years?  If anyone tried, they would be labeled as someone without a heart.  The bigger question should have been,  what guarantee is there that the person overseeing this fund will do right by those who have invested their hard earned money into this "security"?   The answer is there is no guarantee.  We just have to trust Uncle Sam to take care of everything.   That is why the system is going bankrupt today.  
The deeper lesson in the no free lunch scenario is that it is cheaper to pay upfront for your lunch than to pay the ultimate price that shows up at the end of the meal.  Paying up front,   the taxpayer has control of money going in and out.  Deciding what is best for him and having the ability to choose what is preferable.  By accepting the notion of the free lunch,  the taxpayer finds that there are too many strings attached.  Don't pay now but soon there will be a price to pay in more taxes,  no choices in what is best for their situation and ultimately loss of freedom.  That is way too expensive.  
For far too long, some Americans have been buying the free lunch argument.  These are the same people who complain that government welfare is not enough.  However, it is okay for liberals in Washington to  continue giving them mediocre education,  housing, medical services and food stamps, in hopes that it will placate them for a while. Got to give it to the liberals who think they can continue to con the rest of America to keep putting more in the pot to help everyone get what they need.  They are persistent.  However,  it seems that the winds are changing and the taxpayers are staring to voice their opposition to mediocrity for themselves and others.  It's time that the lesson of self-reliance is taught not only to those who are waiting for the Government checks to be deposited into their bank accounts, but also to the legislators who continue to follow the same old Blue Print for social programs.   Taxpayers will not give away their freedoms without a fight.  Taxpayers don't want the government's free lunch.

Let's BE Clear.... Our Government Can Not Guarantee Us Anything

Hot topic of the day is health care.  It is on everyone's mind.  The main gist of the liberal side of the debate is that our Government is going to take care of the health care woes once and for all.  We all need to do our part to make sure that everyone rich and poor alike are covered with the best health care possible.  Well, let's explore that for a minute shall we?
The idea that the government is going to be able to make us all equal is ridiculous.  Yes, we are all created equal but not by the hand of government.  It is by the hand of God.  This scares liberals silly when you mention the Almighty's name and it is not in reference to Obama.  Government does not have the power to make us equal because each of us are individuals.  Each of us contribute to society in different ways.  If a rich man has a child who is deathly ill, do you suppose he will settle for the government run health care system to cure his child?  Of course not!  By creating a socialized health care system in America, the government will effectively create a black market for medical care.  The rich man will still have the option to find the doctor of his choice, pay the doctor what ever money he demands and get the medicine his child needs.  Meanwhile,  back in the government run housing projects, the poor man who has a deathly ill child is doomed to use the government run health care system.  The quality of care will still be a huge gap between the haves and the have-nots.  Don't say this won't happen, because human nature is predictable.  This will be the case with Obama's health plan. 
The health insurance companies have become the villains in this scenario and it does not seem like it should be the case.  Largely due to the fact that the government has caused many of the problems with the health care industry.  Let's face reality here,  the government already has 47 % control of healthcare in America.  It's called Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans health care system.  All of which are poorly managed and going bankrupt.  The smart thing to do, oh yes that's right,  let the government take over everything and we will see how much better health insurance is when patients are waiting in line for a Tylenol to ease the pain of a heart attack.   One more story about how grandma died needlessly because of nasty insurance companies not covering her because of pre-existing conditions will not convince the American public that the Government will guarantee that they will give Granny another chance.   All it does is remind the American public that if they don't stand up for their rights now, it will be too hard to get government out of their personal lives. 
The public option is now called a co-op in hopes of relieving some of the fears of the voters.  No matter what you call it, it is still a scam and it is totally immoral.  To ask people to  give more of their hard earned money to support a system that will not give them added value to their life, is nothing more than a ponzi scheme.  Bernie Madoff went to jail for that.  i wonder when the government will penalize them selves for the  years that they have stolen the public's money over Social Security and all the other social programs.   
Why has medical costs gone up?  Look no further than the fraud and abuse created when promising something for nothing.   People will sign up for programs that they don't need just to get something for nothing. The system is set up that it makes it way to easy to get into the system and abuse it at the taxpayers expense.  Illegal aliens go to our hospitals and again,  are treated at the expense of the taxpayers.   This is the result of a program too large to control.  Too large to find those who are bleeding the system dry.   Government does not need to make this system bigger,  it needs to make it smaller.  Having it disappear all together would be wonderful. 
The final point to make is that the Government has a Constitutional mandate to protect it's border and citizen from foreign attacks.  With the cuts in the military there can be no doubts that this Administration will not keep that promise.   If they can not keep that promise, how can American citizens ever expect them to keep the promise of perfect health care.  Answer: they can't.  Wouldn't it be a novel idea if the government could prioritize spending like Americans have to do with their budgets every month.  First on their lists, scrap the extras and look at items that make America stronger.   Focus on giving our men and women on the battle field the equipment they need to keep us safe at home.  We will take care of  our own health issues.

It Is Not Only About Healthcare!

A crisis is the perfect time to get agendas moving that would  otherwise  be almost impossible to accomplish.  This is just a paraphrasing of Rahm Emmanuel's statement, but the point is he is doing exactly what he wanted to accomplish. Push everything through as quickly as possible.  No one will know what hit them until it's too late.  One problem with this thought process,  the unpredictable response of the people that will be most effected by the outcomes.  The voters.  The Democrat party not only awaken the general public, they have made them angry.  It isn't a pretty sight. 
Why all the anger?  It is so much more than just healthcare.  Which taken alone, it s enough to drive anyone to their congressional offices and demand to know what is going on.  The anger stems from being pushed into  corner and being attacked on all sides.  Even a dog would lash out when put in this predicament.  Starting with the bailouts,  the stimulus plans, government takeovers of major industries,  the cap and tax,  Sotomayor's nomination,  Franken stealing the Senate seat from Coleman and Healthcare reform. Whew!  What a whirlwind this congress has set in motion.  Take this all together and it is plain to see this is an attack on the American Dream.  The American way of life. 
Democrats should not be surprised by the voices that are opposing them.  They have created the worse case scenario for themselves and they are clueless as to how to get out.  The deficit can no longer be claimed as something they inherited,  they created it.  The failures in domestic policies can not be pushed off on the previous administration,  they own every last bit of  the economic struggles.  To mention  foreign policies would indicate that the Obama administration has one.  It does not.  When the world looks to America and laughs,  the joke will be on the Democrats.  What is really needed in Washington D.C. is trust.  Americans have lost all confidence and trust in those who are sitting on Capital Hill.  The Obama Administration, Pelosi, Reid and the gang have annihilated the trust between the government and the people.  This is clearly the heart of the matter. 
When all trust is lost,  there is no other recourse than to move these people out of office.  If necessary, begin the recall petitions, 
for those who have been in office for  too long.  For the President,  it would not be out of the realm of possibility to impeach him 
based on the fact that he has continuously lied to the American people and is incompetent in his job.  He may be able to organize a 

community but he cannot run a country.  His management of the issues and his poll numbers all point to this truth.  Where we go from here is up to the American voters.  Waiting until November 2010 does not seem to be practical unless Washington finally heeds to the wishes of those they serve.   If actions speak louder than words,  liberal elite will not change.  They will forge ahead until their opponents surrender.  For the sake of the future of this country,  the American people should never surrender.

A Note to Pelosi and Hoyer You Are Un-American

What is the definition of Un-American?  Ideals that do not represent America or the values that this country holds.  So if Madame Speaker and Hoyer want to define what is Un-American,  here is a news flash for them: The fact that they do not want debate about their hazardous government run health care system is very UN-AMERICAN.

What is American:  Freedom of Speech.  Check it out, it's top of the list in the Bill of Rights.  You are familiar with that document right?  
Freedom of choice.  Like it or not,  this is a consumer driven society and economy.  By taking away the freedom of choice the economy will go into the tanks.  History has proven that.  As a matter of fact,  let's look to Cuba who are running out of toilet paper.  Think capitalism could  have solved that problem with twenty different types of toilet paper as opposed to the government run option.
Freedom of Election.  Very American and very patriotic.  Continue to vilify the American public and your constituents, perhaps a miracle will  happen.  Both Pelosi, Hoyer and the rest of the Democrat thugs will be out of a job.  Perhaps, then it might be made clear that pushing a trillion dollar  plan down constituents throat is very UN-AMERICAN. 
Last but not least, Madame Speaker there is a certain nerve that you are displaying when preaching to the American public about how you know better than the rest of us.  This nerve is defective because it is making you spend more money and devaluing the American dollar.  Our future is at risk because of the policies that you and the President our pushing.  What is so surprising is that you didn't see average American people start pushing back?  As a matter of fact, it angers you and this shows how out of touch you really are when it comes to working for us. Yes, Madame Secretary both you and the President work for the American people.  i stand with my Forefathers in voicing my opposition to Government Run Health Care.  I do believe nothing could be more American than that.

Democrats Dependent on Polls?

Looking at the polls, it seems that American voters are not so thrilled with the liberals these days.  Perhaps it  is because the hope and change they were hoping for did not come to fruition.  It hasn't even been planted so to speak.  What are the Members of Congress going to do?  Will they look at the poll numbers diving and think that their course of actions should be put into reverse? Will they steam roll ahead, don't look back and laugh at their constituents?   The current trend seems to be the latter scenario.   It use to be common thought that liberals always looked to the polls to decide which way the wind is blowing.  That is just a simple assessment.  One must be willing to look deeper to get the real answers. 
The brilliancy of Obama's campaign was that he was able to be all things to all people.   He hardly ever nailed down an opinion in National security,  healthcare, global warming  or the economy.  When he did slip up, it was a round the clock effort from his campaign head quarters to spin it in positive way or completely ignore the goof. His continual attack on McCain was that he was Bush II and Obama was change.  Well, golly anyone with half a brain knew that.  Of course Obama was nothing like Bush but again, there was no way of knowing who he was because he was more teflon than Clinton.  Give credit where credit is due.  Clinton came up with the blue print of how to avoid nasty political scandals.  Obama took the blue print and expanded upon it.  Come up with cute, clever slogans that stick in the mind.  Then allow your "followers"  to fill in the blank on what you are all about.  It is risky for sure but with the combination of flowery rhetoric and feel good slogans, nothing will harm you.  Don't worry,  be happy.  Obama is here. 
Now that Obama is here,  and the Democrats dreams have been realized because they are in full control of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches.  They almost seem like giddy high school kids who have just been told Mom and Pops are going away on a trip and the house is all theirs! Hurry this is there chance to get all the things they ever wanted.  Max the credit cards up.  Have wild parties with all their friends.  Ignore the phone calls from concerned neighbors and relatives who are wondering what the heck is going on over there.  They will have their way until someone who is responsible comes along to spoil their fun.  Unfortunately,  the American taxpayers are footing the bill for this hog wild party and the responsible person to stop this in no where to be found.  Back to the idea that Democrats are driven by polls.  That is only true in certain cases. 
Democrats love to say that they are the party of the people.  The regular Joe down the block who works in the factory for the big guy and never gets a chance for a better life.  The old Democrats really were for the regular guy. Sadly, power corrupts and the beginning of the corruption of  the Democrats began with FDR.  Yes, the first holy man ever to hold office.  When a man is in power for as long as FDR was, there is no way to escape the taste of power.  As leader of the free world for almost 4 terms, he set about to change America to fit his agenda.  Social Security was the perfect way to begin enslaving the  masses to government dependency.  Why do you think every Democrat bows to the image and name of FDR?   Since that moment in history, Democrats have continued the mantra we will give our constituents everything they need.  From the womb to the tomb,  government will be there for you.  The polls become important to them when they are trying to get elected.  Interpret the data,  tell the folks what they want to hear and once in office do whatever you want.  Ask any of the Blue Dog Democrats who pretended to put up a fight against the healthcare reform and thus gave in.  Oh yes, they are fiscally conservative, but as they ring their hands in angst, they found that the best they could do is to strike a deal.   Please Madame Speaker,  allow me to dissent from this vote so that the people at home won't be mad at me.  What a way to stick up for the little guy.  
Polls don't matter to the Democrats when they have full control.  Just like the teen left at home,  Mom and Dad's wishes don't mean a thing when they have no one looking over their shoulders telling them what to do.  It is the cynical view that what American taxpayers want is not important to the current administration.  If it were, we would not be hearing about Tea Parties,  Town halls gone wild or poll numbers dropping ever so slightly.   The opposite would be true.   Hold on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride until November 2010,  Again,  with cynical views of current events,  one has to wonder if Americans will survive until that time.  The will of the American voters are being ignored and this country is being divided into two. 
So the smooth talking candidate is still pushing his agenda.  Encouraging his party to stand up against the opposition,  Dismissing any chance for real debate,  valid questions and honest answers. After all they have all the answers and they do not want anyone to be in the room who disagree.  They do not want to talk to the people.  They want to tell the people this is what we are doing,  this is what you will like and this is what you will take.  The changes in taxes,  healthcare,   and freedom of speech in a short amount of time is quite amazing.  It took FDR a few terms to dupe  Americans into the Social Security scam. Obama has duped Americans in the first 100 days of his presidency and promises more to come. American families will have less and are being told to be happy, to have no worries.  Obama and company are all about hope.  All about change.  All about their own hope of changing America into a country that is under their complete power.  America's hope is fading.  America's change is fatal.

What Is A Grassroots movement?

So the Democrats are upset and complaining that people are showing up at the Townhall meetings to voice their opinions on the current healthcare scheme.  They cry foul.  They cry that this is all manufactured.  Common folks don't come to these events unless they are brought by bus loads to such rallies.  That's how it has always been done.  MoveON,  ACORN,  and Media Matters have always plucked the right groups, drove them in by bus loads to the site of protests or voting districts with their nicely printed signs to wave for he cameras.   Simple folks who go to work everyday, pay their taxes and take care of their families do not go to protest.  Those that do, are hicks, rednecks, bigots and of course the obligatory Nazis. 
Let's set the record straight once and for all.  A grassroots movement is when a collective group of people begin to feel passionately about an issue and decide to take action.  How do they take action,  they form groups and discuss idea.  Then they write to the editors and lawmakers.  When their voices are not heard or ignored,  they decide to go to where the lawmakers are to demand that they are notices.  Their numbers grow in leaps and bounds because others who agree with them decide to join the fight.  What is amazing about grassroots effort is that it begins with a handful of people and explodes into numbers higher than anyone expects.  This only happen when the concerns are based on real fear and truth.   The healthcare debate is based on the real fear that freedom is being stripped away.   The fight over healthcare affects everyone.  If the the Obama administration wants to take this issue on, then they should be prepared to listen to everyone.  Not just the minority.  Not just the homeless.  Not just the doctors and hospitals.  This issue is important to EVERYONE. 
Ordinary Americans are showing up to Townhall meetings with homemade signs.  This is an indication that people are not taking directions from a formal group,  these are people who are taking time away from their families to make sure that their future is secured.  Ordinary Americans are taking time to read up on the issues, and actually read the proposed bill, instead of waiting for Washington to brief them on the reform.  This is a demonstration on the lack of trust that the people have in their representatives to do the right thing.  Ordinary Americans are looking at history and thinking that the greatness of their country is slipping away.  The only way to stop it is to stand in their government's way.  It's the American way of getting things done.  
When the Democrats invite supporters to their Townhall meetings to drown out the dissenters, they are only making matters worse.  Getting two sides that will drown each other out will only add to the confusion, the anger and potentially turn to violence.  We've already seen a few examples of that due to Obama's call for his supporters to go out.   Here's a tip for the Democrats who are facing angry constituents.  Listen to them.  Listen to their questions.  Then go back to your offices,  READ the bill and at least try to see why there is a fear that this healthcare plan will be a disaster.  You owe that much to  the people who elected you.  If you do this,  it is a step in the right direction to the open, transparent debates that this Administration promised in the beginning.   Who knows, this might even get you re-elected.  
This grassroots movement has sparked the nation to be involved in the direction of this country.  Shouldn't this open the eyes of some lawmakers and cause them to think that this  is something worth taking a closer look.  The voices can't be ignored and they won't be.  Throw as many ACORN,  MoveOn or Union representatives in the way of these protesters as you can.  It won't change the fact that the plan currently on the table is not being sold to the American public.  It is rejected.  Hopefully it will be defeated.  A true grassroots movement will succeed in accomplishing its goal.  This true grassroots movement is well on its way to defeating ObamaCare and placing it into the  dustbin of history.

Since Obama brought it up...

In Indiana today, Obama made a statement that didn't sound right coming out of his mouth.  It must be his move towards trying to get the approval rate up.  While announcing his plan to dole out $2.4 in government grants for electric cars,  Obama stated that this will help unleash prosperity for everyone.  Everyone will be prosperous with cars that no one wants or are willing to buy?  This makes as much sense as giving out government run healthcare to people who don't want it.  There seems to be a pattern developing here. Give the people what they don't want.  Sounds simple, but destructive.  Yet, if he says the magic words, "prosperity for everyone",  it should work on the general public.   Any day now, the numbers should be climbing up again.  We shall see. 
What does Obama mean when he says prosperity for everyone?  It is certainly not the Conservative view of prosperity.  
After all capitalism is evil and corporations who provide jobs, opportunities and stable economies are the engines that fuel their
evil philosophy.   Obama will save America from these dastardly enemies.  Securing once more the limited rights of his loyal dependents.   Under these limited rights,  the wealthy who have so much money tucked into tiny corners of their million dollar homes, will be forced to give their money away to the poor.  It's called spreading the wealth to those who don't produce.  So those brave companies who will take the grants to create electric batteries for electric cars for the consumers who don't want them, will be trapped into a endless cycle of good and evil.  They are "good" when they create items to save the environment.  They will be labeled "bad" when they will set the goal of making a profit off of their invention.  What is a company to do?  Don't buy into Obama's scheme in the first place. 
Since Obama brought the idea up of prosperity for all, as if he knows something about the subject,  a lesson in common sense seems to be in order.  First of all,  prosperity is created when there are producers in the society.   Producers create products, jobs, and stability to a community.  So far Obama seems to have that idea with the grant.  Where his common sense goes off the charts into a territory known as "out of your leftist mind",  is that everyone includes those who are non-producers.  Otherwise known as those looking for a handout but are either unwilling or unable to help themselves.   If there are more non-producers than producers, there will be no growth.  There will be no economic kick back to the economy.  The economy will be stagnant.  It's pure common sense.  Unfortunately,  Obama does not care about realistic outcomes.  He is more in tuned with, what he wants is what he gets.  Tell the public what it wants and ignore the protests.  
Secondly,  the best way to support producers is to remove obstacles from their path and allow them the freedom to create.  
In other words  let those who know the industry should be left alone to do what they do best. No government involvement is needed.  As a matter of fact, it slows the entire process down.  When industries are free be productive it is benefits everyone.  From the CEO, to the local government and yes even to those who are down on their luck.  How can this be?  When a community has a high employment rate there is more disposable income to give to charities.  
Last but not least, since you brought this up Mr. President,  it does not make sense to say you support prosperity for all when your own ideology suggests otherwise.   Success in America belongs to those who work for it day in and day out.  The "everyone" whose lives you wish to bring prosperity to are those who do not contribute to the economy.  Rather they place a strain on society, because those who are producing have twice the amount of work to cover everyone's needs.   Your desire for them to depend on government for all their needs is not helping them at all.   Your prosperity is toxic.  If prosperity for everyone is your goal,  it would be better for the government to provide the people what they want and need to succeed.  What they want is the opportunity to obtain the American Dream.  What they need is for the President of the United States to get out of the way.

Happy Birthday Barry!

Just brief note to wish a Happy Birthday to our president.  I would say best wishes, but your wishes will be the cause of my demise.  So here is what I am hoping that you don't get for your birthday.

1. Another Stimulus plan.  You already spent too much for this year and for that matter, for the next three years.  God help us if  you get elected a second term.  

2. No Date Night with the wife and playing around with Air Force One.  It is a work night after all, and the plane costs too much for just two people.  Even if it is the President and First Lady.  Try a smart car.  I'm sure you and the Mrs. will enjoy the togetherness.  

3. ObamaCare   Actually I do hope you get ObamaCare and the rest of America does not get it.  It only seems fitting that you should have what you are forcing on everyone else. 

4. Reading Material from Chavez.  You've already have too much influence from him.  Time to pick up something new.  By the way,  how did you like Pope Benedict's Book? 

5. Another Supreme Court Nomination.  Sotomayor will hopefully be your only contribution to the Supreme Court during your term.  I am sending vitamins and fruit baskets in you honor to the remaining Justices in hope that they will remain healthy and not retire in the next three years.  Again, God have mercy on us all if you get a second term. 

Enjoy your birthday Mr. President.  I know I won't because I'm worried about the taxes I will have to pay to afford your presidential goals.   

P.S.  Are you still looking for your birth certificate?  Maybe you weren't even born on this day.  I'd double check that if I were you.  Anyways,  have a good day.

What We Know and What We Should Remember in November

The political waters are heating up and soon it will come to a boil.  It is  heartening to see that many of the Tea Party organizations and regular citizens are taking notice at what is going on in Washington.  Recent Townhall meetings for some Representatives have not been very friendly.  It is nice for a change to see the Senators and Representative squirm  a bit when facing their own constituents.  Let this be the first lesson of beating the liberal agenda.   Demanding accountability from Senators and Congressmen is not only our constitutional right, it is morally sound.  The pressure must continue until Washington actually remembers that they are a Representative government not Royalty.
The American voter has now become armed with the facts.  This is no small task.  Finding information on healthcare, cap and tax, card check legislation and the entire list of socialize programs this Administration is pushing is time consuming.  Most people have full time jobs and a family.  However,  due to the fact that the current administration is behaving like children let loose in the mall,  the voters have had to step in and find out what's been charged onto the Nation's debt.  Ultimately, it will be the voters who will be held responsible for payment of this bill.   How many Americans want to be working well into their nineties just to survive? We might just be better off dead.   The towel shouldn't be thrown in just yet,  the best defense is offense.   It's time to take it to Washington. 
We know that many representatives and senators have been in Washington way too long.  They have been feeding off the public funds without regard to how much this is costing Americans.  Basically, many of them have been just been showing up to sign a bill or two, quickly heading off to their next free lunch or dinner.  Some of them even get free vacations due to the generosity of wealthy supporters who want to buy their votes.  One such Representative  that comes to mind is the infamous Representative John Conyers.  In Michigan, this name is synonymous with corruption.  Ask his wife,  Monica Conyers who was found guilty of accepting a bribe while sitting on the Detroit City Council.  Of course, her husband John has no idea what the Mrs. was doing back home.  Leaving that aside,  Mr. Conyers is so lazy that he can not read a bill that  he will sign on to which will  become law.    Not only that, the man is not that intelligent either.  Two lawyers will have to help him shift through the language of the legislation in two days.  Questions for Mr. Conyers: What is the hurry?  If you need two lawyers to explain it all,  shouldn't that throw up a red flag? Have you been in Washington too long that you no longer feel a duty to do your job?  What should be remembered in November 2010,   find a replacement for the congressmen and Senators who have lived off the public dole for too long.  Send them home for good. 
We know that Stimulus one did not work at the cost of $747 billion dollars.  Stimulus two is not working either, yet the federal government keeps growing.  How does that happen?  It's a game of spending money faster than you can print it, which makes for a financial mess that a fourth grader can understand.  When pressed to answer questions on how the administration plans to pay for the wonderful  programs that America needs now, the answer always is tax the wealthy. What happens when the wealthy either get tired of being taxed or becomes broke because they can't create an income to sustain all the taxes? Who are the wealthy exactly?  Is it the figure heads in Washington who make over 170, 000 per year?  If taxing the rich were the simple and patriotic solution to this,  why is it that Representatives and Senators do not donate their salaries to pay for the tax hikes?  We know that raising taxes, especially during a financial crisis, is not the answer.  Cutting them is.  If Americans are going to have to learn to live without certain luxuries, perhaps Washington should follow suit. What should be remembered in November 2010 is that  it's time to be patriotic, it's time to cut the spending. 
We know the signs of socialism, marxism and communism.  This ultimate goal of the Obama administration is total control of the United States.  From the cars that are bought,  to the food that is consumed, to the doctor that will prescribe a pain killer or pacemaker.  This is the America they envision.  It is indisputable that this is what they desire because it is shown in their arrogant actions.  Liberals have been chomping at the bits for an opportunity like this.  Ask Representative Maxine Waters, she will tell you what this liberal and all liberals are all about.  Socialism.   It seems as if the stars are in line and away they go.  Spending, legislating, spending, taxing and spending some more.  In the end they will have shown the American public exactly what their lives need.  More government.  What should be remembered in November 2010 is freedom is not cheap.  Bigger government equals less freedom and more taxes.  
The Blue Dogs Democrats have caved in on Healthcare Reform and it is more than likely they will cave on other big issues.  The obstacle of beating this administration is huge.  Don't be discouraged.  November 2010 is a long way off and in that time the Democrats can do much damage.  Unless, the American people continue to stand up against them.  If congressmen and Senators refuse to listen to their constituents, then it is time for a recall.  If   President Obama wants to force his plan on the American public, it's time for impeachment hearings.  If our Forefathers could beat the Brits,  there is no excuse for us not to win against this regime of tyranny.   If the Liberals thought that everyone would just roll over and play dead while they pushed their agenda, they were wrong  The fight has just begun. Let's not wait until November 2010... the fight for our liberties begin in August 2009.
