Democrats hoping for the worst from Gustav

Like vultures circling overhead, watching and waiting, as we have another possible Category 5 Hurricane bearing down yet again on the gulf coast with a definite possibility of again plowing into New Orleans, what is it that the Democrats currently are focusing so intently on? And what is it they seem to be concentrating the hardest on? Is it the assisting in the formulation of a plan that could possibly be used to help those that are in the storm’s path, or may help them in the storm’s aftermath? Is it the assisting in the collection of donations to possible help people who may lose their homes, again? Or, are they helping in the evacuation of people trying to get out before the storm hits? Nope, it’s none of these. What they’re in the process of doing is trying to figure out the best way to use this storm as a political advantage. They’re hoping for large loss of property maybe even loss of life so they can use it once again to try to give President Bush a black eye and cast doubt on Republican candidate John McCain. How sad it must be to be so cold as to be able to use the misery of people to advance your own political agenda and power. The fact that another huge storm may slam into the city once again is like a big joke to these Democrats. They only see it as a golden opportunity, as just another political weapon to further their cause. Democrats have repeatedly shown themselves to be nothing but users of people and parasites who feed off the misery of others, and for what? To attempt to advance their cause of even larger and more expensive government. They actually have to gall to proclaim that this storm shows that God is in fact on their side. WHAT??

The main difference between now and when Katrina hit 3 years ago is that now there is finally adult supervision in Louisiana’s governor’s mansion. We have Governor Bobby Jindal(R) who is already being proactive, putting people into action and establishing a plan of action. He is not, as happened last time, waiting until the last minute to make some weak, half-hearted attempt at assisting people, then blaming others for their own incompetence, which is exactly what happened when there was a Democrat governor. Democrats love to proclaim they are for the little guy, but of course, that’s only when there is something in for them. The people who are living in the path of this storm and those who have already been forced to evacuate are viewed as nothing more than expendable assets to the Democrats and as just another tool in their toolbox that they continue to use to slander the Republicans. They are to be the sacrificial lambs in the Democrats efforts to regain the White House. It is beneath contempt and shows a severe lack of character to actually hope for a catastrophic storm to hit anywhere so that you are then able to use the damage created by the aftermath of such a storm as a political weapon against your opponent. An opponent who could have done nothing to prevent the calamity in the first place. But there are those who will buy into the lie just as there were 3 years ago. The stupidity of some people just never ceases to amaze me. These users of people, these Democrats only deserve your contempt they definitely do not deserve your vote.

Democrats continually hope for bad things to happen to people using any event that may occur to their best advantage. They hope the economy goes bad, they hope the war on terror goes bad, they hope medical costs increase, they hope food prices go higher and they hope gas prices go higher, because they can try to turn all those things into political weapons. They certainly don’t want to try to help fix any of those things because if they did that they would lose ammunition against the Republicans. You see, Democrats can never play on a playing field that is level, because if they did that they would surely lose, lose badly and often. So they must always connive and scheme to find way to tilt that playing field into their direction. And as we have seen they always have a very willing accomplice in their friends in the media. So be a little weary when you hear the false outrage coming from Democrats because that’s really all it is.

The 2008 Democrat hate-fest comes to a close

What can only be described as the Great Democrat Hate-fest of 2008, a.k.a. The Great Hate Debate, possessing all the pomp and circumstance of some twisted circus side show, complete with it’s own cast of bizarre characters made up of a unique mix of clowns and political acrobats has mercifully come to an end. All be it a rather strange end, with all the pageantry of some 60’s game show parody, but still thankfully, it did come to an end. As we watched each night, the characters of this little melodrama played their parts to the hilt as they tried their best to twist themselves pretzel-like into something that they hoped would resemble patriotic Americans who love their country. In true Democrat form, however, the whole event came off as appearing as more than just a little contrived and as nothing more than just another well scripted event completely devoid of any substance whatsoever. As the festivities got under way, there seemed to be something of an undertow or a general sense of something dark and sinister bubbling just below the surface that the Democrats were desperately trying to conceal. What that something was, as we would come to see, is the pure hatred these people feel toward this country. Then slowly but surely they began to crack under all the immense pressure created by trying to keep all that hatred bottled up inside. Eventually, they either had to let it out or they would simply explode. It was then that we heard one speech after another decry the evils of America, implying that’s it’s such an evil country that we live in and how it is the Democrats who are the only ones who can return America to her greatness, for they are the chosen ones. It was all nothing more than a desperate and blatant attempt at a snow job and an overt attempt to do nothing more than to sell an unqualified and inexperienced Obama as something he definitely is not and the Democrats as our saviors to what Democrats hope is a gullible and unsuspecting public. This whole rather lame show culminated in what was quite possibly one of the most flagrant displays of fraudulent and hypocritical rhetoric as Obama continued his attempt to convince us all that he is someone he is not and could never be. Because what Obama in fact is, is the most Pro-Abortion, Most Pro-Gay Marriage, Most Pro Tax-increase, Least Free-market, and quite possibly the Least Pro Military candidate for President in the history of this great country. Democrats have done their best to convince the American people that Obama is what this country needs today to remake America into all she was meant to be. Are there actually enough rational thinking voters still left in this country who can actually be persuaded to believe such obvious tripe and to then to vote for such a fraud? And, is Obama really the man that most Americans have come to believe is the right man to hold the office of President? Is the future he paints for America the same future that most Americans see for themselves and their children? And lastly, does his definition of "change" hold the same definition as it does for a majority of voters?

In all honesty this man represents such a serious danger to this country on so many levels that it is difficult to comprehend that he is actually in the position that he is. There is nothing that he has done or said that would indicate that he wants to be President for any other reason than to possess the political power that comes with the office. Therefore it becomes so extremely important that voters ask themselves the important questions about this man and can then be comfortable with their own answers before they decide to cast their vote for this man for President. Voters must consider if they are prepared to elect as their President a man who sees absolutely nothing wrong with allowing a baby, who against all odds survives an abortion, to simply die. There is a name for that, infanticide. There is also another name for that, premeditated murder. And do we want as President a man who by all appearances does not seem to possess the least bit of love for his country and who on more than one occasion could be perceived and being somewhat less than patriotic. This same man continually loves to claim how this country is so mean, bitter and divisive and how it does nothing more than to perpetuate evil throughout the world. You would be hard pressed to find a presidential candidate anywhere in our history who possessed a deeper loathing for the country he wishes to lead, than Obama. His obvious disdain for America obviously made him a big hit on his little whirlwind road trip to Europe, because you see, Obama holds the same view of America as do a majority of Europeans. Odd don’t you think? But is it also how a majority of Americans feel about their country? I don’t think so. At least I hope not, because if in fact it turns that they do then it will truly be a sad day for not only this country but for all freedom loving people around the world. Because, you see, that will mean our days will be numbered as the beacon of freedom shining out on the overwhelmingly oppressive world that surrounds us. And without that beacon, the world will be consumed by darkness for an untold number of years to come.

Why we should fear socialized medicine

Still another example of what can happen when you allow the government to get involved with your healthcare has recently taken place. This one having been recently reported by the AP, takes place in Britain whose healthcare system is one that is often touted by those in this country who are pushing hard for government sponsored socialized medicine here in this country as well. The deadly situation involved an estimated 5700 British hemophiliacs, a substantial number of which were kept completely in the dark about the fact that over the course of their treatment they had become infected with HIV. Worse still is the fact that all the while the patients were oblivious to their condition, their doctors had been publishing their medical data in journals for years. Years before the patient were finally given the devastating news that that they were HIV positive. It is now apparent that these people all received tainted blood and were then infected with HIV, Hepatitis or both in what is being viewed as one of the worst treatment disasters in the history of Britain’s socialized healthcare system. Of those 5700 patients nearly a third of those have already died.

Hemophiliacs suffer from an inherited disorder that prevents their blood from clotting, that up until 1980 had most being treated primarily through cryoprecipitate, and it was at that time many patients switched to a new treatment with a product called Factor VIII. Factor VIII was supposed to be more effective in helping blood clot. It was later, in 1983, that hemophiliacs were developing aids, but the patients using the Factor VIII were consistently reassured by their doctors they had nothing to worry about. The risks of Factor VIII could be perceived as being somewhat high, because the blood plasma from thousands of donors is used to form each batch of Factor VIII which is in turn used to treat about 100 patients. Still, these patients continued to be told that they had nothing to worry about, the treatment was a safe one. Totally unknown to these patients was the fact that starting in 1983 they became part of a study involving hemophiliacs and the use of Factor VIII. It was not until 1987 that many of these patients were finally told of their infections, but to their surprise when they finally obtained their personal medical records, they learned the ugly truth, that they had been used for an AIDS study that had begun years earlier. Also unknown to many of these patients was fact that that had been infected for as long as two years before finally being informed of their condition.

This study had been carried out with the British government’s approval, but it seems with very little oversight. So, without their consent ever being obtained thousands of patients were used as human guinea pigs without ever being told about their deadly condition, in some cases for as long as two years. And all in a study approved by their government.

This is just one more example why the government should be allowed no where near the healthcare system of this country. It shows the governmental abuse that can happen when people are forced to entrust their healthcare to their all-caring government. It also shows that when your healthcare needs fall under the purview of government bureaucrats, standards of care and safety, physician conduct and overall patient care go flying out the window. Those who continue to advocate such a system are peddling nothing but snake oil. The consequences of such a socialized system can be deadly and who among us wants to be, or wants one of their children to be the first casualty of such a flawed system?

Obama picks Slow Joe Biden

So Obama has finally made his decision and has picked Slow Joe Biden, the plagiarist, as his VP running mate. And I’ve heard that it’s because of Biden’s foreign policy experience. Please, give me a break. Personally, I would have bet that Biden would have been the last choice. Guess that shows what I know. I mean really, how is anybody supposed to take Slow Joe any more seriously than Obama. Let’s face it, the only difference between these two is that Biden is old and white and Obama isn’t. The theme for this ticket should be, "Dumb and Dumber, Leaders of the Free World!" Sounds like a great bumper sticker, doesn’t it? Has anyone ever been able to take Biden seriously about anything? His tenure in the Senate says much more about the intelligence, or serious lack thereof, of the Delaware voters who keep sending him back to Washington than it does about any brilliant political abilities he may be thought to possess. Let’s face it here, the list of any major or significant legislative accomplishments that can be directly attributed to Biden is of about the same length as the list that can be attributed to Obama. This guy does nothing in the Senate but collect dust!

What is there exactly that voters are now supposed to see in Obama that wasn’t there before he picked Biden? How is this choice supposed to have a positive impact in changing voter’s minds about Obama’s sorry lack of judgement? And what are the voters supposed to come to expect these two to do that will in any way be considered as positive "change" for the future of this country? Neither seems to be willing to do what is necessary to help those struggling today under the weight of increasing food and fuel bills. All that can be expected is an increasingly dangerous approach to foreign policy, an over dependency on a corrupt United Nations and a further advancement of a socialist agenda that will lead to an even larger and more out of control Federal Government than we already have. If Obama thought that by picking ol’ Slow Joe he was going to pacify criticism of his obvious lack of experience I think he missed the boat on that one. I just don’t think that’s going to happen for anyone who still thinks that experience is important. Because for anyone who has ever witnessed the great Biden intellect in action it makes no sense and you would think that most folks must really be scratching their heads over this one. Facts being what they are this guy has the I.Q. of an ice cube. I just don’t understand how this is supposed to add an air of experience to this ticket or increase Obama’s chances of getting elected. Give me a break! Biden himself has been known to have voiced some pretty harsh criticisms regarding Obama’s major lack of experience. So what, now we’re supposed to believe him when he starts talking up all the great abilities and skills Obama would bring to the Presidency? Someone is living in a dream world!

A sinister plan is underway

As we move ever closer to November the Democrats are nearly salivating, as they become more and more obvious regarding their efforts to implement their master plan. A master plan consisting of putting into place a government where all three branches of our Federal Government will end up firmly under the control of Liberal Democrats. By attempting to create the impression, through their allies in the press, that they are the true harbinger for the necessary "change" they say Americans are yearning for they hope to convince just enough voters to go their way. Using the usual Democrat tactics of spreading lies, and creating false impressions through innuendo, deception and deceit, everything is fair game if it allows them to achieve their goal. And should they in fact be successful in their blatant attempt at this complete power grab, culminating in a complete monopoly political power, it will truly signal the end of our personal freedoms and severely alter our way of life in this country. It will amount to nothing more than a coordinated assault on the very foundations of this country with the Democrats and the mainstream media working in concert to drag this country severely to the left, inflicting and incalculable amount of damage on this country. And for what? Pure, unadulterated political power and nothing more.

We keep hearing the Democrats speak about "change", but change to what or from what? Whenever Democrats talk of the changes they want to bring to America, it usually means I’m going to end up with a lot less of something. Less freedom, less disposable or discretionary income and quite possibly less of chance to get the medical care my family or I might need. And it definitely means that I’m gong to end up with a lower standard of living. I mean, try to picture in your mind an America with Obama, Reid and Pelosi at the helm. Does that not honestly terrify you? These brilliant minds are already formulating a plan for their assault on the evil capitalist economic system, which I might add, is the economic engine of the World, and for what? Why, so they can ruin it, of course. You see, if they can successfully wreck our thriving economic system they are then able to achieve their all important goal of forcing even more Americans into a form of servitude to the government they will be in charge of and thus to them. I don’t know about anyone else but the thought of being forced into a form of indentured servitude or even worse, having my children being forced into and growing up basically in bondage to the almighty government is simply unacceptable to me.

Further evidence of their plot to undermine and weaken this country is the way Democrats view an ever increasingly dangerous world. Whether it be the threat of terrorism, an emboldened Russia or from China with it’s growing more as a military threat, Democrats seem hell bent to weaken America on the world stage. An when looking at today’s world situation on any given day one has to wonder under which circumstances or scenario it would be acceptable or beneficial to employ or implement the Democrat philosophy of appeasement and pacifism, while placing the blame on America for all that is currently wrong with the World. A perfect example of the screwed up Democrat view of things is how the Democrat candidate for President can say he sees no difference between America and her allies invading Iraq to remove a despot who had murdered hundreds of thousands of his countrymen and of Russia’s recent invasion of neighboring Georgia. What kind of a skewed view of the world is this? I can just see it now. President Obama telling Putin of Russia, "You better stop, or you’re in big trouble!" Right, then what? Despite what Democrats may think, there must be a point where America must back up her rhetoric with the use of military force. Rhetoric alone with no threat of force accomplishes nothing. But that’s something Democrats, especially Obama, are totally incapable of. A willful disregard for dangerous world events only increases the likelihood that the danger presented by certain events will grow out of control, and quickly. And taking Obama’s gross inexperience into consideration as well as his willingness to belittle our country at every opportunity, can we trust him to use the stick when necessary. Or, will he feed our enemies a constant diet of carrots? America must remain the beacon of freedom for the World, for if that beacon is allowed to go out or even to dim the consequences will be worse than any of us could possibly imagine.

Obama is a Clear and Present Danger

Here we sit with what can arguably be called the most pivotal election in a generation happening in a little over two months and we have as one of the candidates for President a man who is without a doubt the least qualified candidate since Jimmy Carter. And surprise, surprise he’s another Democrat. This man who would be president is completely lacking all of the requisite qualities while possessing none of the abilities that one would normally expect to find in a candidate for president to possess, at least to some degree. If he does in fact win the election, he becomes not only our leader, but the leader of the "free" world. His oft-repeated lack of judgement on any number of occasions as well as his gross lack of character clearly makes him a clear and present danger to the future of this great country. Armed with a Socialist agenda he seeks to transform our country overnight attempting to achieve that mythical utopia so often heard about in his well traveled, liberal circles. There is a definite reason he is called the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate.

Now at a time when the stakes could not be higher, it is not the time to elect such a seriously flawed and ill-prepared candidate as Obama. It takes much more to be president than the ability to deliver flowery speeches while standing in front of a teleprompter. His glaring lack of experience is surpassed only by his Goodyear Blimp sized ego. That same inexperience is there for all to see whenever he is not in front of that treasured teleprompter or when reading from one of his focus group tested speeches. It’s during these times he’s the most interesting to watch because it is then that the real Obama comes shining through as the bumbling, incoherent and nonsensical moron that he is. (Let’s all go out and check our tire pressure.) It is really hard to fathom just how it is that we have a man who is a serious contender for president without ever having to take s stand on any of today’s important issues. Actually let me correct that last statement. Because in reality he’s taken countless positions on any number of key issues with his position at any given time being driven by whatever crowd or organization he happens to standing in front of at the time. Don’t like his opinion today, simply wait until tomorrow, or the next day and you’ll eventually hear one that you like. But, it will only change again. He seems more than willing to do or say whatever he feels he needs to do or say at any given time in an attempt to gain support.

One of his most glaring weaknesses is his complete transparency regarding his contempt for our brave soldiers fighting and dying keeping this country safe from the terrorists they are fighting. Strange sentiment coming from a man who yearns to be the Commander-in-Chief, whose single most important job would be protecting the country from foreign attack. Oh that’s right, according to Obama there’s no such thing as the war on terror, it’s all about America going out and invading other countries just for fun. As well, we do not need a president who is not to his very core proud to be an American every single day of his life. Or, a president who, if past history is any indicator of Obama’s future actions, seems to derive some sort of twisted enjoyment out of slandering his country at every opportunity, especially while in foreign soil. Gee, how Jimmy Carter-esque. And especially we do not need a president who, if Obama’s rhetoric is to be believed, who wants to Europeanize America. His desire to recast America in Europe’s image as well as exposing a willingness to kowtow to a completely dysfunctional United Nations are two more glaring reasons why we should not hand over the reins of power to anyone so ignorant regarding this country’s place in the world. That would be a disaster of Biblical proportions, creating consequences that this country may well never recover from. And now at a time with Russia once again on the prowl and with all the uncertainties surrounding the growth of China’s military now is not the time to have a president that would more than likely go squishy when it is strength that is needed. Especially when it might come to standing up to potential enemies of our country and to have the backbone to not be intimidated by the threat of a confrontation with either one of these corrupt giants. Ignoring potential hostile situations will not make them simply disappear.

Look, I could go on more about all the reasons this man is not suitable for the job he is pursuing, but I’m just not sure I’m making any headway.

Beware of the man named Obama

Let's take a second here and be totally honest with ourselves.  To his very core Barack Obama is nothing more than a liar and a manipulator, and if you still choose to vote for him and he does become President you will deserve everything you get. The really scary thing here though is, that the rest of us who saw through his crap, WON’T! I simply do not understand people who continually believe this guy, automatically buying into all the nonsense that he is repeatedly trying to peddle. Absolutely no good can come from an Obama presidency, NONE, ZIP, ZILCH, ZERO, NADDA.

The plan this guy has for our country will do nothing but take us back to the future. For God’s sake, take the time to look past the flowery, well-scripted speeches and the perfect little photo ops and you’ll see nothing. Nothing but an empty suit being perfectly packaged and attempting to be sold to the unsuspecting voters as a man wholly ready to assume the most powerful job in the world. That this guy could very well be our next President is NUTS! No, it’s worse than nuts, it terrifying. And it would appear that the reality of preventing him from becoming President rests on the shoulders of a very few people. Because you see, there are, among us, those who will not vote for him under any circumstances, just as there are those that will vote for him no matter what. So it would seem our fate rests solely with those in the middle, yet to decide. But the question remains, can they be persuaded to vote for him? Without looking back at his "career" and looking at his so called record and searching out the facts about the real Obama, yes I think they can and will be persuaded to vote for him. But with a guy that is so extremely dangerous to the future of this country there is so much that we simply do not know, and must know before anyone steps into that voting booth and pulls the lever for Barack Obama. Voters MUST know for whom it is they are voting! The severe lack of character thus far exhibited by Obama on almost a daily basis demonstrates to me, at least, that he is not the man for whom I can or even should be voting for. And, he also the man that I should do my best to convince as many others as possible not to vote for as well. He is a fake, a fraud and a liar doing nothing more than blowing smoke. He is the genie of the lamp from who it is we will get our three wishes granted. We must beware of this man named Obama, nothing good can come from his being elected President. NOTHING!

Our trust in the media is seriously misplaced

What do you think would be the percentage of Americans today who truly believe that in this country we continue to possess a completely unbiased and totally independent news media? A news media that the majority of Americans should be able to rely on for the honest, unfiltered information they expect to receive on a daily basis about not only what goes on in our country, but also our world. But, just how reliable is that information? Unfortunately, many Americans continue to put their faith in these "news" organizations that do nothing but look them dead in the eye and boldly lie right to their face. These organizations are on the receiving end of far more credibility than they deserve. The fact of the matter is, however, Charley, Brian and Katie along with their friends at the New York Times, the L.A. Times, the Washington Post and the countless other "news" magazines and wire services, have degenerated into nothing more than a pure propaganda machine. This all-encompassing media machine that seeks to do nothing more than to sway public opinion by any and all means necessary to favor the liberal Democrat point of view on every issue from taxes and Social Security reform to the Patriot Act and the War on terror. In general using the premise that good news is no news, there is nothing that is ever presented that puts anything achieved or put forth by Conservatives in this nation in anything even remotely resembling a positive light. And it goes much deeper than simply putting forth a biased opinion. Not wanting to sound paranoid here, I do feel, today, our major news outlets have a very sinister motive to aid and abet the Liberal Democrats. The media and Democrats share an agenda, working in unison in their attempts to move this country further and further to the left, more and more toward a Socialist view in the way we govern ourselves. And it would seem that no method of deception is beneath contempt since there isn’t anything that cannot be used to accomplish their stated goal. From selective omissions in news stories to outright lies that create nothing but pure fiction, our mainstream media presents "facts" that we’re supposed to be able to trust but in fact should in fact be more than a little suspicious of. They simply cannot be trusted anymore to be believed and have their information taken at face value. We can trust only what we can verify.
 
The sad fact of the matter is that these major news organizations have banded together and come to form something that is eerily similar to a Pravda style "news" organization of the old Soviet Union. They have become no more reliable than the National Inquirer, and should have the same faith put into what they tell us as does that venerable "news" publication. Somehow I find it difficult to believe that that was what the Founders had in mind when they spoke of freedom of the press. I don’t think they meant freedom to deceive and to lie to the American public. It would be quite easy to compile a list of the misrepresentations, lies and distortions created my today’s mainstream media but, honestly, all one has to do is to watch with an open mind to see the dishonesty that is obvious to even the most casual of observers. The smugness and fake sincerity on display every night is enough to make you want to puke!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

 WAKE UP PEOPLE!! Here we are with another election creeping up on us and I fear many people are really not paying any attention or even making a serious attempt of getting and staying informed. And, I think, an even more important question to ask would be of those voters seeking information, just where is it from that they might be getting the information, they do bother to seek, regarding where the candidates stand on any of the key issues of our time. Because, as we all know, the number of available sources for unbiased useful information out there is more than somewhat limited. We know where the three major networks as well as CNN (Communist News Network), the New York Times and most other publications stand on the issues and the candidates, so they are far from being very useful tools when it comes to attempting to search out any unbiased information. Everything you hear on the nightly news or read in most newspapers and news magazines has been through the appropriate filters so absolutely nothing that might be perceived as derogatory, or creates the wrong impression regarding whatever issue it is that the media is peddling, making sure to paint in a positive light. Worse yet, is how many voters are simply listening to the candidates and accepting what their told at face value completely trusting that what they’re being told is the truth. With this election possibly having the potential to be one of the most pivotal elections in the history of this country, voters must expend the requisite energy to educate themselves and seriously evaluate both of the candidates. Especially since the two candidates have such starkly different ideas about what role government should play in our lives as well as the amount of involvement the government should be permitted. There is so much at stake with the future depending on which direction the winner will take us.

 I know I have talked about this before but at the risk of repeating myself I will continue to, because I feel it is something that cannot be overstressed. Government already is far too involved in how we live our daily lives, and it seeks to insert itself even farther with each passing day. Beginning with indoctrination during the earliest years of public education as well as the inflicting of nonsensical and rampant political correctness the government continues its attempt to brainwash our kids into thinking that an increasingly substantial governmental involvement in their lives should be accepted as a normal fact of life. Then it’s on to college where the indoctrination by leftist professors continues at a fevered pace. Unless we do something and do it soon the future for our children will be a very dark one indeed. We continue to allow the government far too much say in the way we live our lives and if left unchecked it will be even worse for our kids and grand kids. The time to put the brakes on and to stop government encroachment into our lives is now before it’s too late and the government has been successful in stealing the very souls of our children. We are the only thing standing between the government's attempt to steal our children’s future turning them into nothing more than government owned zombies and salvaging the true freedoms for them that all men and women were meant to possess and enjoy. Candidates that advocate even more government involvement into our lives are candidates that should not be supported. They represent a major danger to being able to hold on to the freedoms we have come to enjoy and the freedoms we hope will be there for our kids. But will they be? It is up to us to make sure!

McCain too old? I don't think so!

Ya know, I’m getting kind of tired of all the implications coming from Obama and all his minions about how John McCain is just too old to be President. Personally, I think we should be hearing a lot more about Obama being too inexperienced, too liberal, too appeasing and more than just a little too ignorant to be President. I’m more than willing to put the age and experience of John McCain up against Obama’s obvious lack of experience and ability anytime. I’ll take that chance, thank you!

 Obama’s continued use of baseless accusations and innuendos to smear McCain, attempting to convince voters that he’s just too old is simply beneath contempt. It does nothing except magnify the shear desperation of the Obama campaign. It all seems just a bit ironic, especially coming from a candidate, who when not furnished with a script or standing on front of a teleprompter has made far more than his fair share of incoherent statements. Statements, of course we rarely if ever hear about through our totally “unbiased” news media, but statements had they been made by McCain, we would be hearing about endlessly until Election Day supported by even more stories about his age. What’s Obama’s excuse, if not ignorance? 

 You’ve got to ask yourself though, if McCain is so old and feeble-minded, why it is that Obama is so afraid of meeting him man to man in and town hall meeting style debates. Then ask yourself if Obama isn’t man enough to meet with John McCain, how are we to believe that he can be trusted to confront those world leaders hostile to out country? Of what use is a coward as President?

Democrats are feelin lucky

 From the very first moment that “The Great Obama” declared his candidacy for President and became the darling of the media almost overnight, there has been, on the part of the “punks” of the Democrat Party, a feeling of cocky invincibility, almost a giddiness about the upcoming election.  Elitist Democrats continue to exhibit an arrogant confidence, certain they are on the verge of a historic win. The scary fact of the matter is that there does exist a definite possibility of this becoming a reality, meaning that the many of us of the more conservative persuasion, might now be experiencing a serious sense of dread as well as an increased feeling of impending doom. Because oddly enough it is at this point in time that we’re the ones looking down the business end of what’s an equivalent to that famous 44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world.

 Having said that though, I must admit that while I find it more than a little odd that with an approval rating that is the dumper, they remain so upbeat about achieving a huge victory in this election. Together with their obvious and total disregard for working class Americans being burdened with higher and higher prices for gas and groceries, I don’t understand the Democrats’ optimism other than they think they can continue to successfully fool the American voter. Never under estimate the ignorance of the average American voter. Now, I know history appears to be on the Democrats’ side, but their constant mantra about being for the little guy is getting harder and harder to swallow. For anyone willing to see that myth for exactly what it is, it simply doesn’t ring true anymore. The reason being, that since being handed back control of both houses of Congress, Democrats have done absolutely nothing to reduce the plight of those whom they so ardently profess to be the defenders of, essentially throwing them under the bus, sacrificing them at the alter of wacky environmentalism. They continue to remain perfectly content with the high fuel prices and their impact on other areas of our economy. It’s just not very high on their list of priorities. 

 I do have to wonder how many of those folks who today are saying that no matter what they still plan to vote Democrat will feel the same way after, say, their first purchase of home heating oil this winter. And if they do still vote of those all-caring, so sympathetic Democrats, will they still be happy with their choice after the election when fuel prices go even higher. Look, Obama has made more than a few nonsensical statements about what he sees as the solution for the current price of gas; checking your tire pressure and getting tune-ups. That’s the philosophy that can expected form today’s Democrat Party. And his much touted plan for putting a million electric cars on the road in ten years at a time when we have yet to achieve the required battery technology combined with what most certainly will be a very prohibitive price tag makes this whole plan of his nothing more than another piece of Obama propaganda and more Democrat political rhetoric. On top of everything else, experts in the field have said on several occasions, that realistically speaking, the chances of finding solutions to both of these problems, battery life and cost, at least at this point in time, is nothing more than wishful thinking, sort of a pipe dream so to speak. 

 To be perfectly honest, the Democrats have not initiated, formulated, or even thought about a single solitary idea, plan or policy that will assist in producing one more drop of oil or lower the price of gas by one single penny. And, they have no intention of doing so, before the election or after. And yet, these punks are feelin oh so lucky!

Nancy Pelosi says, "We're outta here!"

Since it was decided by the voters, back in 2006, to hand complete control of Congress back to those pillars of civility, those incorruptible, true blue, and completely honest Democrats, what exactly of any substance has been accomplished. Democrats, through the outstanding leadership skills of Ms. Pelosi in the House working in tandem with that other insidious individual Harry Reid in the Senate, have managed to accomplish a congressional approval rating down into the single digits. With that stellar accomplishment it seems more than a little baffling to me why the voters in 2008 are actually considering handing the Democrats an even greater majority in both houses of Congress and quite possibly the presidency to Obama.  Whoa, wait a minute.

Now I will be among the first to agree with all those who say that the Republicans were provided with a golden opportunity back in 1994 when they were entrusted with both houses of Congress, only to turn around and end up squandering it. The end result of that little fiasco was that in 2006 the voters showed them that they did not appreciate that. How had they managed to lose the confidence of the people? The answer is really quite simple. They accomplished that feat by, of all things, trying to out Democrat the Democrats. To most voters there seemed to be absolutely no difference between the two parties. When we needed them most, Republicans seemed to have forgotten who it was that had put them there. They also seemed to forget who it was that could send them home. We felt betrayed and we let them know it.

Now today in 2008, there seems to be a Republican spark on display in the House, demonstrating that maybe, just maybe Republicans have learned a valuable lesson and the error of their ways. At a time when our "leaders" should at least be discussing constructive, sensible suggestions regarding gas prices being at an all time high all the Democrats wanted to do was to go home for a 5 week paid vacation. 5 WEEKS !!! Gee, it must be nice to be able to afford to go on a nice long paid vacation. And what exactly are we all supposed to do in the meantime? At least 50 or so feisty Republicans have decided to make some noise, and to at least attempt to do something about the high prices we’re all facing today. That uprising continues, and I must say I am proud of those men who have decided to take a stand. Those men are all we have to protect us from Speaker Pelosi and her stated goal of protecting Mother Earth from the evils of oil, and all us ignorant little people who just don’t know what we’re doing.

Since assuming control, the Democrats have chosen to focus on much more crucial issues like raising the minimum wage, which most likely has contributed at least to some degree to the slowing economy, instead of helping out the vast majority of Americans struggling under the weight if ever increasing gas prices. So it was left to the Republican minority, finally showing some backbone, to continue the good fight. The Democrats have been completely unwilling for years to do anything about this country’s energy situation.  However, one can trace the Republican effort all the way back to 1995 when they passed a sensible energy bill only to have to vetoed by another stellar Democrat, then President, Bill Clinton. Democrats remain as nothing more than stubborn obstructionists when it comes to passing any legislation that puts forth sensible attempts at a reasonable energy policy that attempts to increase supply in the interim while alternative fuels are explored to make us at some point, energy independent. We are left to assume, that by their actions, the Democrats are perfectly content with the high price of gas and couldn’t care less about the plight of middleclass Americans as they struggle to make it to work every day paying higher and higher prices at the pump.

And now here we are on the verge of possibly handing the Democrats even greater numbers in Congress. Can you imagine the consequences if we hand them a veto proof Congress that in effect would allow them to tighten their grip even more over the insanity of keeping gas prices so high. There would be NO new drilling, No new refineries, No new nuclear plants, No electricity from clean coal and No windmills in the Kennedy’s favorite sailing spot. If fuel prices remain high, or even they go even higher, the damage to our economy will be incalculable, and totally against the will of the people that our politicians were sent to Washington to represent. That idea needs to be rethought, it can not be allowed to happen. I’m getting sick and tired of having to fight every single day to keep my freedoms from being taken from me by a government that’s too big and way out of control. Politician must be forced to remember from where it is they get their power, it comes from WE THE PEOPLE!

Obama: The audacity of hypocrisy

I find it more than just a little hypocritical of Obama for him to be accusing John McCain of doing exactly what it is that Obama himself is doing, attempting to scare the voters about his rival. Obama is out there telling black voters that they must vote for him or risk the return of the days of separate restrooms, different seating on buses and other even more bizarre claims. Can you imagine the uproar if John McCain was out there telling white voters that we must all vote for him or be fearful of rising crime, race riots, or any number of other stereotypical racial reasons? Unlike a certain segment of our population today, race is simply not an issue for me when it comes to choosing whom to vote for. However, the African-American community, or at least a substantial segment of it, doesn’t bother to look at the issues but bases their vote solely on skin color. It seems that any black candidate will do, again, as long as he or she is black. I mean look at the screwy examples; Corrine Brown, Cynthia McKinney, Al Sharpton, William Jefferson and  Marion Barry all on a list that is practically endless. Blacks continue to behave like sheep being lead to slaughter as they continue to believe what it is that the people whom they look up to tell them. It doesn’t seem to matter to them that there is so little truth in what they’re being told. If they were ever to bring themselves to vote on the issues they regard important, the economy, abortion, marriage and family protection, school vouchers, gas prices and more they would end up leaving the Democrat Party in droves. But they don’t seem to be interested. They continue to stay with those who continue to use them at election time and then forget about them until the next time their votes are needed. If and when they ever will themselves to work free of this self imposed slavery to the Democrats they will see who it is that does in fact have their best interests at heart.

Now, on the other hand, what matters most to me, and to most conservatives I think, is the stand a candidate takes on the issues important to us. And if that candidate happens to be black, so be it. I resent the attempt of being bullied into having to vote for a candidate who does not stand on my values or support the issues important to me, or face being called a racist. The mainstream media loves to turn every election between a white candidate and a black candidate into something that's all about race. But from your average white voter’s perspective it’s never really about race at all. I never look at the race of the candidates. The fact of the matter is quite simple, I will NOT vote for anyone who wants to raise my taxes, screw up my health care, keep gas prices high or who shows absolutely no desire whatsoever to protect this country, no matter what his or her skin color. For those reasons, and those reasons alone, there is absolutely nothing Obama could say that would make me vote for him, and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin.

When you hear Obama’s wild proposals regarding how much more money he intends to spend, if elected, you’ve got to be asking yourself where the heck is that trillion dollars for all this additional spending supposed to come from. The incomprehensible spending program that makes up his "economic" plan doesn’t really make much sense. If I’ve got this right, his idea for strengthening our already somewhat shaky economy, is to take even more money from those of us who actually pay taxes so that he can spend more on social programs that benefit primarily those people who basically don’t pay any taxes. How exactly does increasing the size of our welfare state help to make our economy stronger in any way?

For me it’s about smaller government, not bigger. I’m really getting tired of being considered as nothing more than a piggy bank for the Democrats. They continually want more and more of what little discretionary income I have left after buying ever more costly gas and groceries. And with food and gas prices, at least at this point, predicted to go even higher I’d like to know where they expect people to find the money to pay for their government expanding programs. At the end of the day the race of a candidate just doesn’t matter. It’s their character, honesty and integrity that matters. And here the choice for president is obvious. We must dodge the big bullet coming our way in the form of Obama.
