WHAT "HAS BEEN" UP TO NOW, MAY "NOT BE" FOR VERY MUCH LONGER

 

With each passing day of the Barry administration, it becomes harder and harder for me to comprehend how all that is presently going on is actually occurring and how it is now become that our freedom is literally hanging precariously in the balance. It’s like I’ve stepped into some weird time warp or into an episode of the "Twilight Zone" where I’m in some alternate universe in which everything that happens is just the opposite of all that I am used to or familiar with. I simply cannot fathom the rationale used by so many who can still justify their supporting of a man who is so determined to destroy the very country he was elected to lead. Here we have a man who is so obviously consumed with the lust for power and one who considers all those who inhabit this country as nothing more than fodder to be used in his rabid attempt to create an all-powerful government. A government to which we are all to become completely subservient to and enslaved by, spending the entirety of our lives essentially in bondage to those who would like nothing more than to have absolute power over we the people. As we watch, Barry is slowly, or not so slowly, bringing down the curtain on freedom in America. Barry loves to preach about the inequities of a predatory free market, declaring war on prosperity with all the subtly of, and in the irresponsibly deceptive rhetoric of an angry Jeremiah Wright. He has cheerfully announced free-market Capitalism as a failure, because there is just too much left to chance, ignoring completely the fact that in order to succeed in such a system all one must be willing to do is to work. And since not all possess an equal desire to expend the necessary amount of effort to work for their own success, the outcome for one is not necessarily the outcome for another, and because of that, Barry says the system is not fair or equitable. Therefore he declares the system as being broke and the only remedy for repairing it is for the government to come riding to the rescue for all those who are unwilling to sufficiently contribute to their own welfare and success. The system must be made to be fair and equitable for all, therefore we must all support Barry because his motives are pure even though the end result of what he dictates is that we will lose our freedom in the process. After all, what is more important, freedom or fairness?

But one important question remains. Just how much more of this attempt to make all things equal and just will the people tolerate? Or, have we allowed American society to become so diluted with the massive influx of immigrants, both legal and illegal, that it is nothing more than a watered down version of its former self to the point where that now, as a whole, "Americans" simply no longer care? Has the inane liberal philosophy of multiculturalism and the blatant disdain regarding the sovereignty of our nation essentially laid the groundwork for effectively guaranteeing the future of our nation will be forever altered? As a people, we continue to spend way too much time on those things that are far more trivial than the amount of attention we dedicate to them. The issues that demand our undivided attention are growing exponentially on almost a daily basis and we seem to looking the other way. We waste so much time worrying about what someone else has when in reality, had we spent an equal amount of effort on the necessary work we too would attain the fruits of our labor. We fantasize and fawn over celebrities in our midst, yearning to have a life like theirs, and when their lives come to a bizarre end we spend a ridiculous amount of time mourning their death. We don’t know these people, we’ve never even met them, and yet their death can throw us into some sort of silly depression. Sad!

Until the day comes that each and every one of us can manage to bring ourselves to recognize the fact that our lives are exactly what we make of them by the decisions we make throughout our lives I don’t see much ever changing. Americans must some how be forced into the realization, that by taking advantage of their own God given abilities as well as the numerous opportunities available to them for no other reason than because they live in the country that they do, anything is possible. At least for now, until the time Barry is successful in squelching all opportunities for individuals to excel. Our fate in this World is up to us and does not involve anything the government may see fit to provide to us or for us. What should be apparent to all is the fact that government can only make our individual journeys to success more difficult. It does so by creating an environment fraught with pitfalls, by the putting in place of any number regulatory speed bumps specifically designed to squash the entrepreneurial spirit for the distinct purpose of making our march toward success ever more difficult. It’s sole purpose in the creation of these impediments is to make it all the more difficult for individuals to achieve their own version of success, which results in their independence. An independence that is defined as getting to the point where there is no need to be cared for by the government in any way, shape matter or form. But the sad fact of the matter here is that it would appear that Barry may just have convinced enough people that the government can do a much better job at managing their lives than they could ever possibly do themselves. And of course there are always a few who see it as being beneath them to expend any amount of the requisite energy to ensure their own success in life and happily sign on for the nearest government hand out.

We now have supposed "leaders" in our government, apparently now on both sides of the political aisle, whose primary concern in life is to ensure, in all manner possible, the size, scope and power of the government over the governed is accelerated. It would seem that the primary concern of these "leaders" is no longer advancing the will of the people, but is instead, the expanding the power of the federal government. So, the question remains, are there now enough "Americans" remaining, if not to prevent, to at least slow down the massive government growth currently underway. Epidemic growth that has it reaching further into what at least has been up to this point, the private sector economy as well as the private lives of American citizens. At what point do the dictates of the government finally trigger a response from the people? We have now lost 2 million jobs in the first 6 months of Barry "Almighty’s" administration with unemployment now at 9.5 percent, the highest since the early1980’s. And yet, unfortunately, today we still have an increasing number of people eagerly clamoring to hand over there freedom to Barry and his corrupt little band, in exchange for the luxury of no longer having to worry about making all those pesky daily decisions. Silly little things like deciding what doctor to see, what kind of car to drive, whether or not to work, saving for retirement and any number of others. Ahh, how much easier life will be without having to face any of the consequences of your decisions. After all, it’s no one’s fault because it was the government that made you do it, people will only be doing what they’re told. Slowly but surely, the American work ethic, which is, or at least was, unparalleled in the world, is now being replaced by an American sense of entitlement. Which I might add, is being actively promoted by Barry "Almighty."

That anyone could actually still believe that the Democrat Party cares about anything other than the amassing of absolute political power is unconceivable to me. All one has to do is to watch them in action and listen to their hollow words to see what it is they are working so hard to perpetrate against this country. By implementing what is essentially an economic wrecking ball in the form of a fraudulent stimulus bill, the assuming control of the auto and banking industry, the passing of a "Climate Change" bill which is based on junk science and the burning desire to have the government as the sole provider of heath care, Barry is in the process of creating an economic apocalypse of Biblical proportions. Barry and the Democrats are beyond corrupt and unethical. They are pathological in their efforts to literally smother American ingenuity, our individualism as well as the will of the American people. Time is running out and running out rapidly on all things that make this county truly unique among all others. Barry and his merry band of dim bulbs have purposely set out to purposely and systematically, destroy the future of our country. Darkness is falling, when and if the sun does rise again we are likely to see an America that is much, much different, perhaps even completely unrecognizable compared to the America we live in today. I’m not really surprised at the complacency that seems to be so rampant among the less intelligent among us, but it does cause me a certain degree of concern to see those who should really know better falling into the same trap. It’s like a virus spreading out of control attacking even those who you would think would be immune. At the same time I keep hearing from various talking heads about how the American people simply are not going to stand for all that Barry is working so hard at to accomplish. I beg to differ, just what exactly are they basing that opinion on, because I’m not just seeing a great amount of concern coming from all that many. What I do see are people cheerfully going about their business as if they don’t have a care in the World. Because as far as they are concerned Barry’s gonna fix everything through his hope and change, and when he’s done, once again all will be right with the World.

Barry is rapidly succeeding in his attempt to create an environment of such misery and despair all in the "hope" of motivating enough Americans to cry ever louder for "change." Unfortunately that change is coming in the form of the government, Barry’s government, aggressively and arbitrarily assuming more and more control over more and more aspects of our economy and our lives. We the people are willingly forfeiting those very inalienable rights bestowed upon just 200 short years ago. So, how’s all that hope and change working for YOU?

THE RATHER SKEWED PRIORITIES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Earlier this week, when what we should have all been talking about was the vote to be taken by the House of Representatives regarding the Cap and Trade legislation, what were we talking about instead? Yep, you guessed it, the death of yet another bizarre entertainer. At a time when there is one unconstitutional act after another being committed by our "Supreme Leader" and his Party, so many of us remain totally oblivious to all of the blatant illegalities and are happily content to do so. Instead, what we seem so fixated on and fascinated by are life's trivilaities such as the death of one more wack-job who throughout his life made not one significant contribution to society or put forth one ounce of effort toward the betterment of his fellow man. And yet he collected and blew millions of dollars. And just what was his claim to fame? He could sing and dance! Well whoopee, yip, yip yahoo! Big freakin deal!  However, in the big scheme of things, I simply do not put that on the same level as the current dismantling of my country brick by brick that has been going on now for the last 6 months.  Sorry, but I just can't bring myself to do that!  There are much more important things going on right now and we should not waste a significant amount of time on the death one person.  There is just no need to smother out all other information, that is actually important news, because of the death of a singer.  He's been called a cultural phenomenon, judging by the current state of our culture, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Even FOX News, on the night before the big vote on what is essentially the biggest tax increase in history, all anybody wanted to talk about was Michael Jackson. I’m sorry, but his death had absolutely no impact on my life or on my family. None, Zero, Zip, Zilch and Nadda. While what the Democrats are planning will not only have a lasting impact on my life, but on that of every single American, rich or poor. Come on folks, lets all get a grip here, look around you at what’s being done to our country. I’m sorry he’s dead I really am, it’s sad for anyone to die that young and leave a family behind. But do we really need the 24/7 news coverage? And why the heck is it even "news" in the first place? Just tell me he’s gone and then let me mourn or celebrate his death in my own way on my own terms. It’s the same thing with all the stupid nonsense about those two morons Jon and Kate plus their 8 rugrats. Just why do I need to be subjected to this dysfunctional little family unit?  She’s nothing more than a controlling bi*ch and he never made it past 16, mentally, and that's really all I need, or care, to know about either one of them.  If I want any more information than that regarding any of these people I will actively go in search of the outlets that serve up this type of drivel. NOT! There are just more important things to worry about right now than the lives of these insignificant people who serve no useful function or purpose other than to entertain us. To think otherwise is just warped.  The country is going to Hell in a handbasket and we're all falling apart because some singer died. 
 
And ya know what, I’d be willing to bet a weeks pay that out of all those bimbos who were walking around my workplace yesterday talking about poor Michael, very few if any, had the slightest clue about what was going on in Congress. And yet, these are the very same morons who, after all this crap goes into effect, who will be complaining the loudest. That will be when I will most likely have the almost uncontrollable urge to say, "Hey stupid, these are the very same idiots you voted for!" Then they’ll get all indignant and have the nerve to claim otherwise. These people just kill me.  God help us!

BARRY’S AGENDA: THE COMPLETE BANKRUPTING OF AMERICA

 

To all of those imbecilic voters, who in their infinite wisdom continue to so loudly proclaim how Barry "Almighty" continues to do such a stellar job, I would like to take the time to provide to them just a few historical pointers. What should be obvious to just about everybody, is the very fact that no matter where Democrats are entrusted by the people with the privilege of governing, every state, county, city or town things never quite work out as advertised. Wherever it is that a majority of voters come together and collectively decide to put liberal Democrats in charge, they very rapidly find themselves approaching, what can only be the natural conclusion of things, that of finding themselves in the midst of a complete disaster and totally bankrupt.  And not just fiscally, but morally, ethically, socially, culturally and every other way you can possibly imagine. Now having said that, and with all that overwhelming evidence in plain view, realistically speaking, only one conclusion can be arrived at. What is proven, on almost a daily basis, is that the only thing at which Democrats excel is the spending of other people’s money and really not much of anything else. So how is it then that with all the overwhelming amount of evidence staring them in the face, 52 percent of the population could come to the conclusion that they did? To decide that the same type of governing system which is essentially responsible for the sad state of affairs in so many places around the country is exactly the type of change that would be what’s best for our country as whole is really quite extraordinary. However, it really is not all that much of a surprise that so many of those who reside at the shallow end of the gene pool would arrive at such a decision, but it was somewhat more of a surprise that so many of those who really should have known better came to the same conclusion. But why is that exactly? Is it that for some bizarre reason that the rest of us are just missing? Do they actually believe that cockamamie Socialism, while it doesn’t work at even what is basically a smaller scale, it will somehow work on a grander scale when it emanates from Washington DC outward to all 50, or is it 57 I forget, states? If that’s what they’re thinking, then I guess they are even more stupid than I thought. Because if it doesn’t work on the smaller scale where this system proves to be so catastrophic, what makes anyone think that attempting it on a grander scale, which can only magnify the deficiencies, is a good idea. Anyone looking, need look no further for evidence of Socialism’s failure than to any country overseas whose population has made the conscious decision to pursue such a dysfunctional system of government. What the populations of these countries have managed to do is to perpetrate against themselves what equates to a self-fulfilling prophecy where, despite promises of better times coming from their politicians, nothing ever really gets any better. In fact, things more often than not get worse, much, much worse. The self-inflicted results of their idiotic voting patterns are nothing more than high crime rates, high unemployment, high taxes, high interest rates and rationed healthcare that are always the natural end result of a commitment to Socialism. So, just what part of this time proven nightmare not working is it that so many Americans just don’t get? Socialism does not work, ever, and yet so many Americans now seem to be so committed to it and are perfectly content to now allow Barry the freedom to inflict upon us just about anything he pleases. They choose to ignore the fact that the only thing that surpasses his arrogance is his shear incompetence. You see, Barry has what you might call a unique perspective on things, to his way of thinking, he doesn’t need to know what he’s doing, he just needs to look good doing it.

And when you try to explain it to those people what it is that defines Socialism and why it’s bad, all you get back is this zombie, lights on but nobody’s home, kind of blank stare in return. It’s like we are experiencing a pandemic of Stepford Wife-itis. No matter how you try to convince them that putting the government in charge of absolutely everything in your life just doesn’t work, these brain dead victims of their own stupidity, just can’t seem to grasp what it is that’s going on. They seem to be so willing to blindly trust corrupt politicians and overpaid, under worked mediocre bureaucrats when it comes to all aspects of their lives, and I simply cannot understand for the life of me, why. What terrifies me more than just about anything else, is wondering what it’s going to take, exactly, to shake these refugees from an insane asylum out of their stupor, or will nothing force them to snap out of it. And if they do finally come to their senses how far along will things have progressed and will we have gone too far to ever recover even some of what we will have lost during this whole ordeal.

And what really comes close to pushing me over the edge, sanity-wise, is that there are so many who are supposed to be on the "right" side of the aisle who continue to be so willing to go along with some of the most nonsensical ideas that are the most detrimental to our "Republic." Just who is it that we are now supposed to be able to rely on or turn to, to prevent this little sleigh ride to Hell from reaching its ultimate destination? It’s like so many on our side aren’t even trying to stop any of this out of control craziness, they’re simply going along for the ride whining that there just isn’t anything they can do. BULLS**T! There is something they can do, but it will require them to put the country ahead of their own political ambition. They figure they can give the required lip service and by re-election time we all will have forgotten that they did nothing, that they were willing to talk a good line but at the end of the day, that was where everything stopped. At that point it becomes up to us to hold all who talk the talk but refuse to walk the walk accountable and throw the bums out on their butts. I have never been so terrified for my country as I am today, and I just don’t see, or feel, that same sense of urgency coming from those I would have hoped to see it from. I want to believe in some of these people, but every time I place my trust in them I just end up being on the receiving end of a swift kick in the old gonads.

The fate of the Republic, as well as the odds of it continuing on as originally designed, are quite literally, hanging on by a very thin thread. But not just economically or even morally, but also because of the dangerously naïve, appeasement oriented approach to our national security and the defense of our homeland that is currently being implemented. We are being left dangerously exposed to so many threats being posed by any number of enemies from North Korea, to Iran to radical Islamic terrorists and even China, or especially China. As well, we are seeing Barry steaming full speed ahead on another mission, one that has him determined to completely eradicate the individualism and personal responsibility that has made this country truly unique when compared to any and all other countries on the planet. Barry’s primary and overriding goal is to have each and every one of us paying the required homage to the elite’s who it is that reside in Washington and rule from on high. Before long he will have us all facing Washington twice a day and bowing, as he did to the Saudi King, to show our appreciation and our gratitude for Barry’s beneficence. The American people can no longer afford to remain spectators, happily remaining on the sidelines while Barry and his cohorts set about the business of destroying the very fabric of our country.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when the decision must be made to stand your ground. At this distinct moment in time we now, and I mean all of us, have to decide if we are going to continue to simply watch as our country is dismantled piece by piece, or are we going to finally step up and say enough of this. We cannot allow this train wreck to continue. When looking at those in charge today, it would appear there seems to be a rather substantial deficiency of anything that even remotely resembles adult supervision in our nation’s capital. The American people must now be willing to step into that role, and soon, before it is too late. I simply refuse to believe that there are that many people who in their heart, are hoping that this narcissistic, arrogant neophyte succeeds in what it is he is trying so hard to accomplish. It is obvious that what we are now confronted with, once again thanks to a remarkably ignorant voting public, is a man who is so patently dishonest. He possesses not only motives that are highly suspect, but abilities that are extremely lacking in all areas regarding his current position. We are now in the unenviable position where we have pathological liar, totally incapable of telling the truth as the "leader" of our country. He is a man of such arrogance that we are all considered as nothing more than expendable in his march toward a place where the government, actually Barry himself, has full control over every single aspect of our lives. And with independent media in this country having now been declared officially dead, there are fewer and fewer options available for the obtaining of unbiased, truthful information. But we must continue to make the effort because what Barry is out to inflict upon our country cannot be permitted to continue. The time has come for all rational thinking, patriotic Americans to stand up and just say NO! NO to nationalized healthcare, NO to more government bailouts, NO to higher taxes, NO to every attempt by Barry to increase to power of government over we the people. JUST SAY NO!

REPUBLICANISM VERSUS CONSERVATISM


 
It was in recent Gallup Poll 40 percent of those taking part described their views as being conservative, 35 percent moderate and 21 percent as being liberal. It was noted that there has been a slight increase in conservatism since 2008 which returns it to a level last seen in 2004. The percentage of those identifying themselves as liberal is in line with findings so far in the 2000s, and up from the 1990s. The survey noted that when speaking of Republicans, 73 percent call themselves conservatives. Among those calling themselves Democrats the major divisions came down to 40 percent identifying themselves as moderates and 38 percent as liberals. Also among the Democrats, 22 percent identified themselves as being conservative compared to 3 percent of the Republicans who identified themselves as liberal.

So, here we have what appears to be some pretty solid evidence that we haven’t quite moved as far left as Barry and the Democrats would have us believe. America it seems, is still more of a center right country. But, we are very much in danger of allowing that 21 percent of us who are liberal the opportunity to convince just enough of those who call themselves moderates into going along with them so that together they can successfully determine the direction in which the country as a whole will be moved. Barry may think he has earned himself some sort of mandate with his November victory, but in all reality, that’s just not quite the case. Granted, 52 percent of the voting public did vote for Barry but 48 percent didn't.  A gullible public fell prey to the empty rhetoric delivered quite eloquently by a man who was, and still is, nothing more than a political mercenary.  Votes for Barry, other than simply because of race, were based on a sorely misguided and, somewhat naïve, fantasy of The Messiah being some new kind of politician. So many bought into his utopian rhetoric of "hope and change." However, what we are now rapidly finding out is that Barry’s definition of "hope and change" is more than just a tad bit skewed.  We currently find ourselves in a very precarious situation for the very simple reason that this pathological liar, who is now our president, is totally incapable of telling the truth. No matter how hard the media continues its attempt to portray Barry as God-like, he is not. And what we have effectively allowed to happen here, is for Barry to effectively place a noose around our collective neck and we now seem to be simply waiting as he readies to kick the chair out.

I’ve heard it now from many different corners, even from some of our stellar conservative elite’s, that the era of Reaganism, i.e., Conservatism, is over. Why, because they say so?  What is that based on exactly, an election that was essentially bought and paid for through Barry's highly questionable donations or one in which a majority of us voted for The Messiah, under, what now have essentially been exposed as, nothing more than false pretenses? I’m really getting tired of those, again many of whom are on our side, who proclaim that conservatism is waning and that either the Republican Party must now change with the times or face the ugly alternative of simply ceasing to exist.  In one sense I agree, it needs to become more Conservative, not less!  Now, as outlined above and also seen other recent polling data, we are not yet that center left country, but instead, a country that is increasingly conservative. It may not be much of an increase, but there is certainly no decrease of conservatism being represented.   Where the problem seems to come into play, is the fact that the American people, at least a sufficient number of them, simply no longer see the Republican Party as their conservative outlet. Therefore, while we may be becoming a country with fewer self-described Republicans, we are not becoming a less conservative country as a whole. The crux of the issue is what appears to be that many of our politicians who call themselves Republicans, are more than just a little unwilling to take the necessary stand by coming down strongly on the side of conservative principles. Too many of those serving under the banner of the Republican Party have attempted to do nothing more than redefine Republicanism. This new definition is one which basically boils down to one that defines the Party as being nothing more than, quite simply, a less extreme version of the same brand of liberalism pushed by the Democrats, disguised with such innocuous sounding names as "Compassionate Conservatism."  So in effect, the end result is that what we have today are two political parties with very few degrees of separation regarding a very flawed political/social philosophy. Exhibit One in the evidence presented in this case would be the pathetic excuse we had for a "conservative" as our party’s last presidential candidate. Let’s face it, we could not have done ourselves anymore harm had we purposefully set out to lose the election. It was because our candidate was so lackluster and possessed so very few clear differences when compared to his opponent, there was no motivation among conservatives to rally to the Republican candidate.  In fact it can be argued that on the topic of taxes, the liberal candidate sounded more conservative than the supposed conservative candidate, granted, as we’re finding out now it was all nothing more than a pack of lies, but it worked long enough to get Barry "Almighty" elected. You would think that experienced politicians who desire to win elections would understand the basic need of voters to see the clear, even stark, differences that showcase specific policy positions between the candidates. If both candidates appear similar, where’s the motivation supposed to come from to vote for one over the other? Republican candidates who are apprehensive about taking a conservative stand because they haven’t the nerve to stand up to the media's critique are doing us, and themselves, no favors when they try to muddle their positions just to get favorable press.

More wishy-washy, limp-wristed RINOs are not what is needed in this time of so much uncertainty and so much run away Barry sponsored government expansion. There is a growing fear among many concerning our government and the growing control it is assuming over so many aspects of our economy through which it also gains more control over more and more of the individual and personal freedoms of the American people. What we are presently in need of are staunch supporters of the Constitution, as written, and we need to elect those who are willing to stand behind and strongly support traditional family values and free market capitalism, not an "It takes a Village" mentality and Socialism. However, the sad fact of the matter is that many of our Republican leaders have increasingly lost their way, and hence the support of an increasing number of voters. Filled with good intentions when running for office, they very rapidly exhibit significant periods of memory loss once they get to Washington in their eagerness to remain there at all costs, and at the expense of the faith put in them by their constituents. These selfish, self-centered fraudulent conservatives are doing no one any favors by their continuing deception, all they are accomplishing is the creating of an impression that there truly is little difference between Republicans and Democrats. Their misguided behavior does nothing but to make what should be a chasm separating these two political philosophies appear much more like a ditch that is really no big deal, in the big scheme of things.

To say that I am more than just a little disappointed in the performance thus far of our Party Chairman Michael Steele would be somewhat of an understatement. Instead of doing what he should be doing, actively searching out those candidates who are unashamedly conservative, instead he chooses to support faux conservatives like RINO Charlie Crist. Supporting this type of candidate does nothing to advance the cause of conservatism or the Party, nor does it provide any hope of ever achieving a substantial majority in one or both Houses of Congress. It does nothing but to virtually guarantee the Party the maintaining of a minority status for not only the rest of my life but that of my daughter as well. That, my friends, is not why I was supporting and hoping for Mr. Steele to win his current position. I’m so sick and tired of hearing about how if we are to grow the Party, we need to abandon our principles to become more inclusive. WHY? My Party is open to all those who share in my principles, the principles on which this country was formed. I’m simply not willing to alter my beliefs just to convince some whiny malcontents to join the team. If they cannot see which team it is that encourages freedom, both economic and personal, and they care so little about what kind of country they will be leaving behind for their kids, then they can go join the damn Democrats. And all they will succeed in by doing so will be to do nothing more than to permanently enslave their kids and their kids kids to Barry’s idea of government. Yep, they can join the likes of the liberals and be freakin miserable for the rest of their lives because I am not about to compromise, compromise is something that is to be left to those who wish to join in my fight. Because there is so much at stake, there is no room for anyone who is not committed to see this fight through to its successful conclusion. Only Conservatives need apply, I want no one onboard my team who might have a tendency to go squishy, we have enough members like that on the team already. If you don’t care about the future and are simply living just for the now, go join the other team because you’re no good to me. And that goes for Chairman Steele as well!

As has been written about in other sources, there are effectively four pillars to American Conservatism, a strong military, small government, tax reduction and competent management. It would appear that today we have a president expending a great deal of time and energy in leading an assault to completely undermine those principles, the same ones that have made America the power in the World that it is today. It is a conflict that seems to be impeded by way to few of our conservative politicians. It’s an issue that’s not real complicated, either you’re part of the problem or you’re part of the solution. Conservatives in name only are definitely part of the problem, if not THE problem. I hate these career politicians who could give a squat less as to why they were sent to the seat of government in the first place. Here we are with a Barry created fiasco bringing the greatest country on the planet, quite literally, down all around us. And very few, well too few to seem to matter, are willing to stand up to him and just say no, this is crazy and it’s got to stop. At the present time there is only one, count them, ONE, man in the Senate who has a 100% rating from the American Conservative Union, Senator Jim DeMint. And we have 31 members in the House who have achieved the same grade. So what we have are 32 men and women out of 535 who can safely be counted upon as Conservatives, that leaves 503 others possessing of varying degrees of liberalism, hence look at the mess we’re in. And what is our stellar Party Chairman doing, courting guys like Crist. Crist and guys like him are not the future of the Party, unless of course we never want to regain any semblance of political power. We cannot continue to allow to happen, as happened in this last election, to allow the media to pick our candidates for us.  McCain was the media's choice for us and not one any self-respecting conservative would have chosen.  We cannot permit ourselves to be manipulated into continuing to elect candidates with a questionable conservative pedigree, for that will surely bring about the sounding of the death knell for the Republican Party, the Party of Lincoln.

What we need to do is to increase and intensify our focus on proven conservative principles and work together to present viable solutions and create workable alternatives to the out of control madness that is being shoved down the throat of the American people by a blatant Socialist. We must all work as a well oiled machine, a cohesive unit if we are going to have any hope of being able to beat back this obvious Democrat abuse of power, which is nothing but an overt attempt at a power grab of monumental proportions. Presently, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between we conservatives out here in the trenches and our supposed leaders back in Washington. We’re transmitting but they’re not receiving, so that it would appear then "that what we have here is a failure to communicate." The Republicans in Congress have a very clear choice to make here, either they choose to listen to us, or, who will choose not to vote for them. Because the only hope we have of bringing this attempted leftist coup d’ etat to a halt will be the presenting of a unified Conservative front to combat it. And if you are not an enthusiastic, card-carrying conservative you are not welcome on the team. We cannot afford any weak links in our chain. We are now in a war, a war for the self-preservation of our Republic. We must all be ready to answer the call. We have identified our enemies, those who must be defeated at all costs, and they are Barry and his pathetic disciples. They must not be permitted to perpetrate any actions which may further result in diminishing the freedoms enjoyed by the American people. Weak kneed Republicans are not needed or wanted.  What we need are those who exude confidence and are willing to confront those who are so desparate to shove this country so drastically to the left, by the passionately extolling of all the benefits and ideals of Conservatism.

THE DEMOCRATS, PURVEYORS OF A PHILOSOPHY OF HATE

 
              THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S POSTER BOY FOR HATE
 
There is today in America a political party that is quite literally, and quite completely, consumed from its front office to its folks on the street, with a highly destructive as well as an extremely corrosive brand of intense hatred. This condition, equivalent to form of malignant cancer, is nothing more than a deep seated virulent hatred of all things that form the very basis, the very foundation, of why it is that this country came into being in the first place, and why it continues to exist to this day. And, this hatred would appear to be growing. This sick and twisted philosophy of hate goes back to nearly the first days of this party, continuing to fester and grow over time until becoming most noticeable, I think in the 60s, with it assuming control over more and more of the party. The heroes of this party are nothing more than hate mongers, bigots, racists and worse and that tradtion is being happily, even proudly, carried on today, perpetuated by many "Leaders" of the modern Democrat Party.  Like a drug resistant virus this hatred is spread by willing hosts, as these Democrats continue their work over time to spread their scurrilous philosophy in an attempt to infect as many as possible through their vile and blatantly untruthful propaganda. They work to gain support of those willing to assist them in their dismantling of our society for no other reason than to satisfy their growing hunger for an ever increasing amount of political power. These pathetic political charlatans, these purveyors of hate continually strive to portray themselves as the champions of diversity, tolerance and inclusiveness while in reality these people are nothing more than hypocrites of the highest order. It’s all very Orwellian really, with the definitions of their words being bastardized so that they essentially become to mean the complete opposite to what most people would understand them to mean. It would seem that we have arrived at a place and time where now any view opposing those who are in power, or any dissent that should be permited in a free society is now to be quickly condemned as nothing more than hate speech of the purest form.  Those that choose to offer up any critique of the current administration and Democrat led Congress are to be silenced by any means necessary.  They are to be ostracized and to have such a stigma attached to them that any who may feel the need listen to them will simply avoid them out of fear of some government sponsored repercussions being forced upon them.  The true basis for any actions taken by today's Democrats is to create, exacerbate, enhance or cultivate as much hate and discontent among the citizenry as possible without revealing what their true motive is. Doing their best to set as many groups as possible fighting amongst themselves, their goal is to create the necessary distraction that will enable them to increase their power over the people. At the same time they attempt to portray themselves as the only ones capable of acting as the peacemakers who can remedy the friction between warring groups. So they create the scenario where we have class warfare and then claim they and they alone can resolve the situation but only by using their own methods with the end result being their own brand of peace. While they, with the help of their state run media cohorts, work to create a perception of a "can’t we all just get along" society, under the surface they are feverishly working toward just the opposite result. Working diligently and with purpose but also covertly, they set about the business of creating then feeding the class warfare mentality that enables them to slowly but surely slip more and more of their government expanding policies under the radar and past an unsuspecting American public. They try to keep from being detected until it’s too late.

And the sad truth of the matter is, it’s not just the infamous leaders of this pathetic and corrupt political Party who are so consumed by such a seething hatred. It is also a substantial majority of the party faithful, men and women who you may meet every day on the street. If the truth be known, most of those who proclaim to be proud members of the party of the little guy, really can’t stand him. In fact they hate him.  They hate him because of his individualism, his faith in God and his believing in traditional family values. It is this hatred that has become the mainstay of the Democrat Party with its vocal propagators being those with names like Kennedy, Kerry-Heinz, Schumer, Clinton, Reid, Durbin, Frank and of course, your friend and mine, Barry "Almighty", to name just a few. But in all honesty, it’s anyone in public office with a "D" after his/her name. And I think it is fair to say that since these people have no difficulty whatsoever remaining in office, that the majority of their constituents must posses that same high level of hatred as do those they choose to continually vote for. And because these "leaders" thrive on discontent, the greater the hate they can foment, the stronger and more powerful they will inevitably become. It is really quite pathetic. This growing pandemic of hatred spewing from a single source, that being the Democrat Party, is placing this country on the path toward an ever increasing peril, and it shows no sign of letting up. As long as these demagogues can continue to con a growing number of Americans into believing the image being cultivated of the Democrats as being the party of the working man, the little guy, there will be no way to stop, or to even slow, the progress being made by these people toward the total destruction of our country.

What’s truly ironic here, is the fact that these Democrats continually behave in the very same manner which they consistently, and habitually accuse conservatives of. It’s the old misdirection play. It is those on the left who absolutely thrive on all manner of hatred, to the point where it becomes just another weapon in their arsenal to be used in their attempt to totally dismantle America and squelch any and all dissent or criticism. For anyone who doubts what I’m saying they need look no further that the shear magnitude of the unlimited hatred and rage directed and Ronald Reagan as well as Bush 41 and 43, because these were times that Democrat hatred became almost palpable. It is during times like these when we have conservatives in positions of power that the Democrats bring out the big guns. They muster all the weapons at their disposal, which enables them to spew their hatred 24/7 through the utilization of a wide variety of methods toward men like these not only while they serve, but long afterward as well. Their vile hatred can be seen in everything from the movies we see and books we read to just about every single news outlet, minus Fox News, that we watch. It is times like these that the state-run media acts in unison to hurl, enmasse, every epithet imaginable toward not only these three fine men of faith and honor but anyone brave enough to reveal similar qualities. Because when you are dealing with pathetic hypocrites such as these Democrats, no opposing points of view are ever to be tolerated. That’s THE main reason they see Talk Radio as a major threat to their ability to manipulate the voting public. They will continue to accuse those in Talk Radio as being the ones exhibiting the outrageous hate that is in fact coming from Talk Radio’s accusers. It is not Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin or any of the others who spew the constant hatred, it’s any Democrat or Liberal presented with the opportunity to speak at a microphone or write an Op-Ed in the New York Times. These purveyors of hate form a Godless group, except of course in how they now view Barry, and are now doing their absolute best to convince as many people as possible to their way of thinking of Barry as, if not God, then at least God-like.

To understand just how pervasive is this Democrat hate and how deep it runs it is important to put into the proper perspective all that Democrats hate: they hate our troops, they hate Christians, they hate Pro-lifers, they hate the rich, they hate the family and all that it stands for, they hate the rule of law, they hate the rich, they hate the Constitution, they hate the American flag, they hate the middle class, they hate Democracy, they hate blacks that have the nerve to wander off the Democrat plantation as well as any white man, and they hate entrepreneurs, just ask Joe the Plumber. In short, DEMOCRATS HATE!  They live to hate, and it's what makes them whole.  Today’s Democrats are on a mission to inject at every opportunity their highly toxic vitriol into every facet of our society, railing against any and all who resist their drive to tear down our country no matter what the cost. The slanderous rhetoric spewing from these traitorous individuals while at the same time they proclaim that all that they do, they do for the good of the country, is simply and patently dishonest. The rabid hatred these people have for their own country is nothing if not extremely toxic to the very fabric of all that has made this country great.

WHEN THE BLIND ARE LEADING THE BLIND…THE DISASTROUS BARRY PRESIDENCY

stimulus-vs-unemployment-may2.gif
 
If someone had told me that I would live to see a president worse than Jimmy Carter, I would have said, "No Way!" But, I would have been wrong as witnessed by our current administration that is nothing short of catastrophic. On every front from National Security, the economy, Foreign Policy as well as Domestic Policy, the Barry presidency is becoming more of a disaster than even I would have thought. And over time and with each passing day, the idiocy that was Jimmy Carter is being eclipsed by the arrogance, immaturity and inexperience that is Barry "Almighty." What we are all currently witnessing is the virtual destruction of America as we have come to know it and, quite possibly, the demise of that great experiment called human freedom. It would appear that the questionable qualities possessed by our present leader, and I use that term rather loosely, are far from the qualities that one should be looking for in those who we choose to be our leaders. Qualities such as a severe lack of judgement, gross inexperience and an over inflated sense of importance (ego), are ingredients that when mixed together can result in nothing short of a president that represents an extreme hazard to the very people he has been elected by. Together these personality traits, these obvious character flaws, act as nothing more as a hindrance in any decision making process that involves thinking of someone other than oneself. One definite draw back is that when a man possessing such dangerous qualities goes looking for those with whom he wishes to surround himself in the form of advisors, he has a tendency to go looking for those that possess similar qualities. And, there in lies the rub. Barry, and thus those on his so called economic team, remains committed to a failed format of government based on the failed model, albeit a slowly changing one, provided by those very same countries that we, and our Capitalism, brought back from the ashes of World War II. Recent European elections would lead one to think that these countries are slowly beginning to turn, altering course so to speak, away from that very same philosophy that Barry seems so determined to inflict upon our country, and as rapidly as possible.

While the warning bells are going off all around us, a significant number of Americans still are either purposely ignoring them or are simply falling prey to the propaganda coming from our state run media who are so busy claiming that they are not really alarm bells at all, why they are bells of celebration welcoming the Messiah. Many in the media see Barry as nothing less than a God, with some now openly proclaiming his God-like qualities. They are busy doing their best to convince as many Americans as possible to have "faith" in the Messiah, Barry the "Almighty." Regardless of what you continue to hear or read in our media that lives to prostrate themselves before Barry, Barry is no God, nor is he God-like. He is a man, and as such he is prone to making mistakes when attempting to do a job for which he has zero experience. And boy, has he made some whoppers! Although, I just can’t help but wonder, are they actual mistakes or, are they all part of some grand scheme to wreak complete havoc on our once vibrant economy. You see, Barry is on a quest and the road he has set out upon is one that results in what can only be described as the fiscal devastation of our country and the complete collapse of our economy. The natural end result he has in mind is the making of our country into something totally unrecognizable when compared to its former self. He has set about to dismantle the greatest economic engine of freedom in all of human history.

And yet, Barry continues to busy himself with the blaming of Bush for a mess that is of completely Barry’s own making. How juvenile! We are now damn near 6 months into his presidency with a 9.4 unemployment rate and 1.8 million jobs lost since Barry was sworn in and there’s no way he can blame that on Bush. And then there’s all that drivel about Barry has "saved" 150,000 jobs, what kind of crap is that? There is absolutely no way on God’s green Earth that anybody is able to determine with any degree of accuracy what equates to a "saved job." It’s nothing but pure, unmitigated BS! That Barry can look the American people in the eye and lie to them so convincingly and so blatantly clearly reveals the smugness and arrogance possessed by this man. But the bigger sin is that so many people continue to buy into his nonsense and remain so oblivious to what is it he is out to accomplish.

It was earlier this week at the White House that "Slow Joe" Biden's chief economic advisor, Jared Bernstein, held a press conference to talk about the new unemployment rate and the economic stimulus package. Here are a few pearls of wisdom that came from this supposed guru of economics. During the Q&A period, Jake Tapper of ABC says, "In January you and Dr. Romer issued your recommendation for the stimulus. It turned out to be rather optimistic. I think it's fair to say you said without the stimulus the unemployment rate will be just over 8%. Obviously it's 9.4% with your stimulus. How do you explain that?" Jared Bernstein’s answer was, "That was before we had fourth quarter results on GDP, which we later found out was contracting at an annual rate of 6%, far worse than we expected at that time. Were this plan not to be implemented as I've described and as Dr. Romer and I articulated back then, in the absence of the plan, job losses would have been deeper from whatever level they started, job looses would have been deeper, the unemployment rate would have been, by our estimates by the end of next year, would have been between one-and-a-half and two points higher than it otherwise will be. So those estimates that we are touting today and the estimates that you hear us talk about, that's the difference between what would have happened to the job market, the unemployment rate were this plan not in effect and the actual outcomes of jobs. Now, looking back, it was clearly too optimistic."  So, it was all Bush's fault that this guy's numbers were all wrong.  Silly me, I should have known there had to be some other reason than the fact that this guy Bernstein is just one more dope that hasn't got so much as a clue about what the heck he's supposed do be doing.  He fits right in with his boss who is pretty much clueless himself.

Another question came from Chuck Todd asking about the 150,000 saved jobs, "Can you give us a better accounting on the 150,000 jobs that are going to be created or saved? It’s a number I know I’ve heard a couple of time. What is the accounting on that?" Bernstein answers, " We know how fast the plan is spending out, we know which sectors, and actually if you go back to the Romer-Bernstein report, you’ll see that we actually have estimates by sector, by industry, but also by energy, construction infrastructure, tax cuts…" Todds asks, " One hundred fifty thousand are just based on these estimates so far or what you guys projected out of how this money would be spent?"  Bernstein, "Correct." Todd follows up, "So we don't know exactly –" And Bernstein answers, "The 150,000 jobs, it comes precisely under the methodology I was just describing, that is we have -- we -- we know -- we know spendout, we know the types of spendout, we can assign multipliers to different parts of the plan. For example, tax cuts generate a smaller multiplier than direct government spending. Once you know the spendout and the type of spending that you're engaged in, then you can derive an estimate of how many jobs you believe you created relative to what would have occurred in the job market were you not doing that spending."  Is any of this stuff making sense to anybody? I know I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but this is nothing but gibberish.
 
Another question came from Bloomberg News' Hans Nichols: "Those summer jobs, that 125,000, are you counting that toward the 600,000 jobs you're going to be saving or creating?" Bernstein’s answer, "Yes." Nichols asks, "Are you also going to be counting that towards the 3.5 total goal?" Bernstein, "That is -- yeah, that -- the 3.5 is the, uh, the 3.5 is an estimate of jobs created or saved by the end of, uh, of next year." Nichols, "What you're obviously acknowledging are temporary jobs over the summer which won't last three months.." Bernstein, "Oh, that's a good question, right." Nichols, "How that's being counted in the 3.5?" Bernstein, "Thank you. Now, that's a good question. The 3.5 million jobs are what economists call full-time equivalent jobs. So those 125 would not count as a full 125. Two part-time jobs count as one full-time equivalent job."
 
Are we so stupid as to believe this simpleton? I simply refuse to believe that a majority of reasonably intelligent Americans are willing to accept any of this political babble at face value. Come on people, snap out of it, we’re all about to go down the tubes here. If enough of us don’t come to our senses, and soon it may get to the point where it becomes too late to try to right our capsized ship and Barry manages to succeed in sinking us deep into to his socialistic, big government abyss. Time is rapidly running out, the moment is now, and we must convince the few allies we may still have left in Congress to stand strong and to not go wobbly. We need to show some backbone if we’re going to push back those who are trying so hard to bankrupt our country. If we hope to survive then we’re going to required to fight and be prepared to take some casualties.

BARRY GOES TO NORMANDY, AND IT WAS DISGUSTING!!

 Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

At first, after I saw and heard Barry speak at the American Cemetery in Normandy commemorating D-Day, even though I was angry, I was just going to let it pass. But the more I thought about this ardent Socialist and hypocrite speaking at such an event the more po’d I got until I finally I felt that if I didn’t at least comment on it I was going to bust. That Barry "Almighty" should be permitted to even stand on such hallowed ground, the place where so many of those who fought and died to save humanity from the barbarism of Nazism, I’m sure caused those who died fighting for their country to spin in their graves. And it really got to me. Because to allow such a man as Barry anywhere near such a place as this celebration of so important an event, is the height of disrespect to all those who died fighting. This man, this president of ours, representing a country that has given so much so that so many may live in the freedom that they enjoy today and who has done nothing but apologize for America’s past actions, for him to be permitted to participate simply did not seem appropriate. And he seemed so terribly out of place. This is a man who holds those of us who have served and who continue to serve today in such low regard that any words he may have may been reading to commemorate such a historical and austere event can only ring hollow and are words simply read, not felt.  You can say what you want about George W. Bush, but he had an emotional attachment, a bond so to speak, with our fighting men and women, and when he spoke of their courage and of sacrifices made by those who gave their lives for their country, your could hear it in his voice that he was deeply moved by their bravery.  It was that emotion that was so obviously, as well as something that was so sorely missing from the speech that Barry read. 

There was no sincerity in his words, it was as if he was doing nothing more than going through the motions. Allowing him to speak did nothing, if not a great disservice to the memory of those brave men, which the ceremony was intended to celebrate. If there were truly justice in this world, halfway through his phony speech a great bolt of lightening would have come streaking out of sky and left nothing behind but a pile of ashes where Barry had been standing. The sad truth of the matter is that Barry is the complete antithesis of what the purpose is for such an event even being conceived of in the first place. He is a blatant liar and nothing other than a corrupt politician and his presence at such a solemn event does nothing but diminish its intent, which was remembering those brave men who made the ulimate sacrifice in the fighting for their country.

"I am not the first American president to come and mark this anniversary, and I likely will not be the last. It is an event that has long brought to this coast both heads of state and grateful citizens; veterans and their loved ones; the liberated and their liberators. It has been written about and spoken of and depicted in countless books and films and speeches. And long after our time on this Earth has passed, one word will still bring forth the pride and awe of men and women who will never meet the heroes who sit before us: D-Day. Why is this? Of all the battles in all the wars across the span of human history, why does this day hold such a revered place in our memory? What is it about the struggle that took place on these sands behind me that brings us back here to remember year after year after year?" With obvious lack of knowledge of all things historical, I wonder if he really does know the answer to his own question? He is there to supposedly honor those men who fought to keep us free of the very political system that he now wishes to inflict upon this country without a shot being fired.

"We live in a world of competing beliefs and claims about what is true. It is a world of varied religions and cultures and forms of government. In such a world, it is rare for a struggle to emerge that speaks to something universal about humanity. The Second World War did that. No man who shed blood or lost a brother would say that war is good. But all know that this war was essential. For what we faced in Nazi totalitarianism was not just a battle of competing interests. It was a competing vision of humanity. Nazi ideology sought to subjugate, humiliate, and exterminate. It perpetrated murder on a massive scale, fueled by a hatred of those who were deemed different and therefore inferior. It was evil." Gee, that sounds remarkably like the crazed Islamist terrorists who we are fighting today, fighting for our very survival I might add. That Barry fails to see that that same evil is very much alive and well today in the war, excuse me, the Overseas Contingency Operation, we are currently fighting, shows just how dangerous he is when it comes to the keeping of this country safe and out of harms way. What makes the cause of the terrorists we fight today any different from that of the Nazis we were fighting some 60+ years ago? He’s been so busy of late apologizing to those countries from which the terrorists spring forth, I have to wonder had he been present during the War fought by the men being honored at Normandy, if he would have been apologizing to Hitler for actions taken against him by the United States and the Allies.  Barry is nothing but a gutless, arrogant, self-serving politician who is out to destroy the very nation that all those men defended and that so many paid the ultimate price to keep safe. This man is a demagogue in the purest form and he represents a very grave danger to our country on so many levels and his being present at such an event as this does nothing but to besmirch the memory of all those heroic men.  Barry is not my president and I will never refer to him as such.  He is the Devil incarnate and has little sympathy for fools like those who are buried in any military cemetary, because to him they died for a cause that makes no sense to him.  How sad for him to have never known what it feels like to love one's country.  How truly sad.

BARRY CONTINUES HIS DRIVE TOWARD SOCIALISM


I am an observer of people. Whether it’s at the Mall, out to dinner or at the movies, I like to observe people and their behavior in different situations. I’ll often get busted by my wife if I’m being a little to obvious in my observing. It’s through these little personal observations that I find it so amazing, and more than just a little scary, that so many Americans can continue to go calmly about their daily lives so completely oblivious to the fact that their country, as well as their futures are, quite literally, being stolen right out from under them. Why is that, exactly? Now granted, the news media that most of them choose to listen to or read is not telling them that 1 out of every 6 dollars that Barry is spending goes to some taxpayer funded entitlement program. And that same media is now out there proclaiming the we have turned an economic corner by saying that the good news is that unemployment is slowing, while playing down the fact that unemployment has now hit 9.4 percent, the highest in 26 years. Sorry, but I’m confused. You have to ask yourself have Americans been so extremely dumbed down that we are now at the point where we have essentially become the equivalent of mindless little robots? Do we now blindly accept as the truth whatever it is our stellar leaders, and the media, tell us and proclaim they are doing only what is best for us all. Why do so many of us simply accept at face value the lies we’re being force fed by Barry and the media? Have we allowed ourselves to be reduced to where now we have become nothing more than a mere shadow of our former selves betraying the example set for us by previous generations.

We seem, somehow, to have completely lost sight of the fact regarding just who it is that’s supposed to be in charge here with a substantial portion of the population who seems rather comfortable and content with that dangerous scenario. Let me remind everyone, and I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but it is we the people who are supposed to be in charge! We have the responsibility to carefully select and to then send those whom we can trust and who we believe possess the same values as we ourselves possess into positions of power. And, we vote for those who we deem as being qualified for the positions to which we decide to elect them. But somewhere along the way the train has somehow managed to completely come off the tracks to the point where now things have been turned completely upside down. Instead of them working for us we’ve allowed ourselves to become nothing short of brainwashed into thinking that we now work and pay taxes for them. It seems they now think they can tell us pretty much what we want to hear so we vote for them, then once they have been safely elected and are firmly in place at the seat of power they can go about the business of lining their pockets with our gold. And because of our apparent willingness to allow them free rein to go about their business and by refusing to hold them accountable for their highly questionable behavior, we now find ourselves speeding headlong toward a very dark and very deep abyss. An abyss that is equal to what is essentially virgin territory for our Republic. And we will continue on this down hill slide, this death spiral so to speak, toward a political and economic suicide unless the American people decide to take some sort of action that will effectively hit the brakes before we slam into the bottom. Barry has shown us from the beginning both his resolve as well as his commitment to his taking this country toward Socialism, that system that has failed wherever it has been attempted, and yet so many are willing to go along with him. If the American people refuse to take the requisite action to prevent the coming catastrophe, then we will undoubtedly reach what can only be seen as the obvious and ultimate destination that Barry has planned for us. When that happens this land we call home, this land that is seen as the beacon of freedom by so many around the World may become nothing more than a simple footnote in the history of the World. It will be noted the United States, for a brief period, historically speaking, was nothing more than some grand experiment, albeit a failed one, an attempt at accomplishing human freedom as God had intended and as all men would envision it. In the big scheme of things, and because of weakness on our part, our little experiment that will have lasted 200+ years may only prove to have been nothing more than a flash in the plan. Bringing to an end that brief period in time when man was truly free and burning it’s brightest just before it goes out sending us into the blackness that is Barry’s supposed utopia. We the people must get ourselves back on track and into the proper mode of operation to where we hold our "leaders" accountable. And we must be far more vigilant, ever more watchful of those who would like nothing more than to rob us of our God given rights. We Americans are the products of our own making, and as such we may also be the ones responsible for the forging of our own demise. Our destiny, as a country, will either be what we choose to make it for ourselves, or, what we allow Barry to make for us.

And one last comment. The people that really get me PO’d and are the ones that I hold most accountable for the current predicament in which we now find ourselves, are those who chose to vote for Barry for no other reason than because of his race. Everyday you hear these morons calling into various radio shows advocating their support for Barry but unable to verbalize exactly why except by their saying it was time for a black president. It doesn’t matter if he’s qualified for the job, it’s enough for them that he’s black. They expose their blind devotion and complete trust in Barry while chastising the show’s host and taking them to task for "not giving Barry a chance, he’s only been in office for a few months." And then when they are confronted with the facts regarding what it is the Barry is attempting to do to our country, all they can do is repeat their same nonsense over and over sounding like nothing more than the proverbial broken record. The only thing these people succeed in accomplishing is making themselves appear rather stupid and more than just a little ignorant. Because in the end they always reveal themselves as not being interested in the facts at all, instead only being interested in the fact that Barry will be "bumping up" their government handouts. They fail to realize, and it matters very little to them, what the cost of that "bump up" will be for the country. These are very small minded people who, for the most part, simply do not have it within themselves to think of anyone but themselves. I swear, if you could to take the overall brain power of these people and combine it all together, you wouldn’t have enough power to light a 10 watt light bulb. When I was younger I remember seeing this comedian doing this routine where one of the characters he portrayed was a guy named Leonard Moon. Leonard Moon didn’t have the brains of an ice cube. For me the perfect analogy seems to be that all those who chose to vote for Barry, especially those who chose to do so because of race, are truly the Leonard Moons of the World. They just don’t get it and I seriously doubt they ever will.

WITH BARRY "O", TRUTH IS ALWAYS STRANGER THAN FICTION

joblosses.jpg
 
BARRY’S RULE NO. 1 ON THE ROAD TO SOCIALISM…is to "Never let a good crisis go to waste." So is the philosophy of our Supreme Leader, Barry "Almighty", The One, The Messiah, and one who loves to portray himself as the personification of our savior. So that begs the question, is our current economic crisis the result of natural causes, or, is our current situation nothing more than strictly a manufactured one created by the Democrat Party. And will each required Barry crisis bleed into the next forming a potentially lethal and costly chain of events lasting until he has succeeded in achieving for our country that which as been achieved in Europe with its double-digit inflation and unemployment. For the last eight years we have heard a constant mantra of doom and gloom and the talking down of our economy. Is it any wonder then, that we are where we are? We’re being told that we have gotten to the point where it is only the government that is now capable of not only saving us from ourselves, economically speaking, but we are also being asked to believe it is only the government that can grow the economy. I’m not sure how it is that anyone can seriously think the government can grow the economy, especially through the type of leftist policies that originate with the Democrat Party and are then instituted by our Messiah. Anybody with the least bit of understanding of economics knows that government cannot grow the economy because it creates no jobs nor does it produce any useful goods or provide any useful services. All the government can do is to choose to or not to inflict those obstacles that prevent or hinder those who do grow the economy by simply allowing them to do so. It should seem to be pretty much of a no brainer that if it was in fact Barry’s intention to honestly "fix" the economy, he would have taken an entirely different path than the one that he is presently has the country embarked upon. It is in that way that he reveals to all that he is not intent on the fixing of anything, instead, he is focused like a laser beam on expediting an economic catastrophe, even a total meltdown. His drive to do so is for no other reason than to increase governmental power over every facet of the economy as well as every aspect of our lives. He is earnestly working to literally force as many of us as possible to live under the control of our government all under the guise of trying to "fix" our economic situation. He claims that he only has our best interests at heart, but if the truth be known, the only interest that is of any concern to Barry, is his own accumulation of raw political power.

What is really more than just a little disconcerting is the fact that we now have as president, someone who has never run any type of enterprise that was required to earn any kind of a profit. And now he is than man who has now quite literally assumed control of both General Motors and Chrysler and will dictate what it is these companies must do in order to once again be able to achieve profitability. But our Supreme Leader has insisted that he had no other option but to make the US government the controlling shareholder of GM after it sought bankruptcy protection in New York, the third biggest bankruptcy in history. Declaring the government "a reluctant shareholder," Barry said Monday that pushing General Motors Corp. into bankruptcy was a strategy designed to create a more viable company, rather than one that was a continued drain on taxpayers. A strategy designed by whom exactly, Barry? You gotta be kiddin me! Can someone please explain to me how it is exactly, that a moron who has never done anything other than run for office can even remotely know what it takes to create and/or implement any kind of a financial or corporate strategy? Especially, when the end result of that strategy is supposed to be a company that should be more "viable" than it was before the strategy was ever put into place. According to Barry, "What we are not doing, what I have no interest in doing, is running GM," Barry said, adding that the company will be run by a private board of directors and management team. "They, and not the government, will call the shots and make the decisions about how to turn this company around." Then he goes on to say, "Working with my auto task force, GM (Government Motors) and its stakeholders have produced a viable, achievable plan that will give this iconic American company a chance to rise again," Barry said at a White House news conference. "It's a plan tailored to the realities of today's auto market, a plan that positions GM to move toward profitability, even if it takes longer than expected for our economy to fully recover." Again I ask, what the hell does Barry know about the running of any kind of company that requires that it earn a profit? With the government essentially now owning 60 percent of GM it has become nothing more than just one more subsidiary of the government much like the Post Office or Amtrak, and we know how well those two government assets are run.

Barry’s hypocrisy knows no bounds and is on full display when he talks about how, "We saw 400,000 jobs lost in the auto industry in the year before this restructuring even began. I will not pretend the hard times are over. Difficult days lie ahead. More jobs will be lost. More plants will close. More dealerships will shut their doors, and so will many parts suppliers." He said that his actions over GM would ultimately help its workers, just as "tens of thousands of jobs that would have been lost if Chrysler had liquidated will now be saved" – a reference to the Chrysler bankruptcy, which is due to emerge from its Chapter 11 status in the next few days. Here is a man who in one breath that he has no interest in running GM and in the next talking about how his actions would ultimately help GM workers. So, which is it? But the real clincher came when speaking of those who have lost their jobs, he added, "But I want you to know that what you're doing is making a sacrifice for the next generation." So I guess all those workers are supposed to make the required sacrifices while Mr. and Mrs. Barry throw White House soirees where they serve $100 per pound roast beef or where they assemble a small squadron of aircraft to fly off the New York for a "date", at the price tag of $500,000, all at the taxpayers expense. The fallen giant, the largest U.S. industrial company ever to enter bankruptcy, is shedding some 21,000 jobs and 2,600 dealers. Sparing few communities, the retrenchment amounts to one-third of its U.S. work force and 40 percent of its dealerships. "We are acting as reluctant shareholders because that is the only way to help GM succeed," Barry said of the "temporary nationalization" of the 100-year-old company. "Temporary Nationalization," says that it is only through this whole exercise of rabid governmental expansion will he be able to save us from ourselves telling us the whole time not to worry because it’s all just temporary. There is nothing temporary about anything that Barry is doing or wishes to do. And at a time when he is now spending two dollars for every one that he is taking in, I think the time has come for us to began asking him for his exit strategy. And we need to be pressing him exactly what benchmarks must be met in order for the government to divest itself of all ownership of our private economy. If you have been listening to our mainstream media, a.k.a. our state run media conglomerate, of late, you would likely come to the conclusion they’re hoping for. That conclusion being of course the thinking that we have suddenly turned the corner, economically, because of the miraculous policies put into place by our brilliant Supreme Leader have somehow gotten us on the road to recovery. But there’s just one little thing wrong with that story line, it’s all nothing more than a slick con job. You see, their little premise has some major holes in it, with the one big one being that the unemployment rate is still climbing and is likely to keep climbing for the foreseeable future. Since Barry’s stimulus package was passed we’ve been losing roughly 16,000 jobs per day. Today it is a very sad state of affairs that we cannot believe a single thing that we either read or hear from today’s media, a media that has become nothing more than a wholly owned entity of the Democrat Party. We’re being lied to on a daily basis and happily so, not only by Barry but the hordes of his supporters in our state run media who are so far in the tank for him that it’s ridiculous!

If the American people do not snap out of their Barry trance, and very soon, the damage that this man is presently attempting to perpetuate upon our country will eventually get to the point where it will become completely irreversible. We are now venturing down a very slippery slope and with each passing day it gets just a little steeper and a bit more slippery. The future that Barry represents is more than just a little frightening, especially with Barry’s commitment to an ever expanding at an explosive rate of governmental power.

COLIN POWELL: ATTENTION SEEKER, PUBLICITY HOUND, HYPOCRITE, FRAUD AND BACK STABBER EXTRAORDINAIRE

 Colin Powell

If I have to hear from one more scumbag Democrat, or another so-called journalist about what a sterling example Colin Powell is of what it means to be a Republican, I swear I’m going to just go off. I have never been a big Powell fan, but ever since he decided to throw his support behind Barry I have gotten to the point to where now I care very little, if at all, about what he may have to say about anything. With his supporting of Barry for essentially no other reason than race, it has become painfully obvious that Powell has become much less interested in advancing the agenda of the Republican Party as he is now very much more interested in advancing the agenda of Colin Powell. If I can be perfectly frank here, I have always thought that the good General was in somewhat over his head in any position he has ever held. And why it is exactly, that he cannot now just simply fade away is proof positive of the huge ego that this man has.

Meaning no disrespect to the General, but the time has now come for Colin Powell to activate his GPS, locate that hole from which he crawled out and, while going quietly into the night, crawl right back into it. Because no matter how hard the mainstream media may try to convince us otherwise, this man is nothing more than an attention seeking, publicity hound who is so addicted to the limelight and to the adulation he continues to receive from a leftist media, and from Democrats, that he doesn't see that the time has come for him to just go away.  If he is truly a Republican then he must be made to realize that what he now doing can only be detrimental to the Party, but let’s be honest here, we all know that he is even less of a Republican than is John McCain. This guy has been nothing more than a complete fraud going all the way back to his days as National Security Advisor during the Reagan Administration. He was less than adequate as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and a joke of a Secretary of State. He has been someone who has done nothing more than to backstab his bosses, both while serving them as well as after having served. He did so at any and every opportunity if he thought by doing so he would be able to elevate his so-called stature with the media. While at State, he had his trusty sidekick, walrus looking "Dick" Armitage, to run interference for him and as someone who could be counted on to assist Powell in his back stabbing of his boss, THE PRESIDENT.  Anyone who has been watching this guy over the years would have to admit that he’s always been pretty much of an "all show and no go" kind of a guy. He has always been someone I saw as having zero substance and on the receiving end of far more praise than he was entitled to or was even deserving of. That this man can, with such ease, back stab those who provided him with the many opportunities that allowed him to become much more than he could have ever become on his own, reveals a shallowness as well as a severe lack of any character. And today he seems to take a great deal of pleasure in slamming President Bush, Vice-President Chaney as well as just about any other actual conservative while portraying himself as a shining example of all that the Republican Party can and should be. All his theatrics do nothing more than to expose to all the complete and utter shallowness of this washed up, whiny has-been who is now out there acting like nothing more than a spoiled brat. Showing his gratitude to those who have assisted him in the advancement of his career, he goes about his business cheerfully allowing himself to be used by our leftist media. He seems very comfortable with that as long as he is on the receiving end of his own good press. His continuing to essentially slander those for whom he has worked continues to demonstrate that he has no more class than that of the man that he supported for president and continues to support after having won the election. That such a man as Powell who has accomplished so much, albeit with much assistance from many others, going from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to Secretary of State, could then deteriorate into something that more closely resembles nothing more than a common political hack, is really kind of sad. He has been reduced to being nothing more than a puppet with the media pulling his strings whenever the occasion arises to bash Bush, Chaney, Limbaugh or the Republican Party in general.

And now he’s out there cheerfully making a fool of himself assisting the mainstream media in the accomplishing their goals of undermining the Republican Party. He happily goes about the business of telling them whatever it is they want to hear whether it’s true or not. He’s out there slamming the Republicans, making bizarre and baseless claims about how the Party, his party, has made some perceived drastic lurch to the hard right that he claims will have suicidal consequences. In an interview on CNN after the election, he declared that the Republican Party attempted to polarize the country. He also stated that Republicans had to try to reach out to more minorities, including African Americans, who are conservative, but have been alienated by the polarizing nature of many conservative figures. Powell declared that the Republican Party was in "deep trouble" and needed to move closer to the center to survive. Now, after hearing this ridiculous statement you have to wonder if he really believes that or is it just another instance of where he opens his mouth and crap just falls out. I mean with our last presidential candidate, how much more in the center could the Party have been, and still he chose to openly support and to also vote for the most radically left leaning candidate in our history. As has been said by many others and much more articulately than I, in this last election one would have thought that by Powell’s standards, we had the perfect candidate, and yet he bailed on the Party, his Party, to vote for a blatant and obvious Socialist. He has become, or quite possibly always has been, much more interested in being the center of attention and will therefore say or do anything if the result will be to have nice things said about him in the media. He has a monumental ego very similar to that of the man he supports as president. So starved for attention is this guy that he will say absolutely anything that he deems necessary to draw the requisite amount of attention to himself. And if it gets his face on some Sunday news show, or quoted in The New York Times or gains him the opportunity to spew his garbage to the American people, all the better. Powell is always on call and standing at the ready to be called upon at any time and whenever needed to bash the Republicans. And yet, this is the man who apparently could so easily cast aside those principles we all thought he possessed in his effort to support a man who we all would have thought would have been his complete philosophical opposite. And why exactly is that? Race, plane and simple! He put the electing of an incompetent boob as president over the good of the country for no other reason than because that incompetent boob happened to be black. That action alone demonstrates the height of his hypocrisy and shows the lengths to which he will go to satisfy his sick need to be constantly praised by the leftist media conglomeration that we now have in this country. And that is something I will never forgive him for and it is what gives this man zero credibility regarding any topic he may wish to discuss. Despite Barry’s positions on every thing from abortion to slashing defense spending to massive expansion of government, Powell chose to support the black guy for no other reason than the very fact that he was black. That was enough for Powell to betray the country that he supposedly claims to love. And it would now seem that Powell finds himself standing in the unique company of men the likes of Castro and Chavez, who are also ardent Barry supporters. In company such as that, how is it possible for him call himself a Republican? The epitome of hypocrisy is the fact that Powell has the gall to call himself a Republican when it is so obvious, and in so many ways, that he is not.

And finally, when was the last time that Powell made an appearance anywhere in the media that he was asked any serious questions such as, "General Powell, do you support expanding entitlement programs to include national health care? And if you do, General Powell, how would you pay for it?" "What is the highest tax rate you would accept, General Powell?" "General Powell, should we give amnesty to illegal aliens?" "General Powell, how would you expand the Republican Party's base without diminishing its principles?" "What are your views on affirmative action, General Powell?" "What are your views on the death penalty?" "How about school choice?" "General Powell, do you favor Barry’s returning our government to a pre 9/11 mentality?" "General Powell, do you favor Barry’s plan to slash defense spending?" He just never gets asked these kinds of questions. Why? Because that’s not the reason they bring him on their television shows or interview him for the newspaper columns. He is used for no other reason than to ridicule the Party he supposedly belongs to. However, he is not now, and I seriously doubt that he really ever has been, a Republican.

ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY, HAVE WE LOST OUR WILL TO FIGHT?

Have we Americans, or at least what would appear to be a sizable majority of us, simply lost the will to defend ourselves? Have we lost our stomach for a good fight, even if it is fight to protect our way of life? By having elected a blatant and committed pacifist and an ardent appeasement oriented individual in Barry as our president, we may have effectively doomed our descendents to a future that may very well turn out to be the equivalent of sending them headlong back into what can only be described as a re-emergence of those Dark Ages of the past. Are we now to be content to just sit back and allow those presently in leadership positions in this country to place us into the precarious position where that at any given time on any given day we may find ourselves vulnerable to yet another attack taking place. And are we now a people of so little character that we cheerfully elect such leaders, leaders who care so little about doing what’s necessary to protect us? We must be wary of such decisions, because the next time, if we continue down the road that Barry has put us on, the attack could very well be one that would dwarf the attacks of 9/11, this time possibly killing millions of our countrymen. Has it come to the point now where even the act of self-preservation is simply not worth the effort?

What we are in desperate need of today is the will, as a people, to elect leaders who possess the courage and the fortitude to throw down the gauntlet, challenging those who are out to kill us. A gauntlet which says to the terrorists, "Go ahead punks, make our day!" or "Please, please give us an excuse to send you on your way to those 72 virgins!" It must be made clear to all and in the very starkest of terms possible, that those who would even consider attacking this country will face the deadly consequences of their doing so. And they must be made to be fully aware that those consequences will be extreme in both the swiftness and the severity in the manner in which they will be carried out. It should also be made clear to any country thinking of offering up any type of assistance to those wishing to attack us that they too will be held accountable. These countries should receive one and only one warning. Warned in such a way as to make them fully aware that if this country is to ever suffer another terrorist attack of the magnitude of 9/11 they too will face the full wrath of the United States. They must realize that the United States and her people will hold any and all of those who it can be proven to have contributed to the ability of those to carry off such an attack, to be personally responsible, as if they themselves had committed the act. It must be made to be crystal clear that any and all who aided or provided shelter or safe haven to those who chose to attack us that retaliation will come not only to those who carried out the attack but also to those who aided and abetted the culprits as well. They must be told that like those who carried out the attacks, those who provided any type of assistance no matter how trivial it may have seemed at the time will have effectively signed their own death warrant. Any country that decides that it is in their interest to assist those who would attack the United States must be made to understand, in no uncertain terms, that as part of our response to an attack would be the carrying out of a strategic and coordinated attack of our own against them. That we will be determined in our destroying of their military bases, power plants, communication facilities and if necessary their major cities as part of our retaliation for being attacked. Sort of a modern day version of Mutually Assured Destruction. Thus they must be made to realize that the choice is theirs and that the United States will take whatever measures that it deems necessary and appropriate against any and all who it perceives as being an enemy or potential threat.

On this Memorial Day as we are taking the time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defending our country, we must also remember the great courage they exhibited in their efforts to keep us free and to protect our way of life. How can we now let them down, to allow them to have possibly died in vain by now choosing to simply roll over and to not be willing to do all that is necessary to keep this country strong and free. When it comes to protecting this country there should be no measure taken off the table, no matter how extreme it may seem at the time or how squeamish we may be about carrying out our threat. The only realistic way to discourage those who wish to do us harm is to instill in them a fear like no other they have ever experienced. Because simply put, that is all these savages of the Arab World understand. If anyone is to be intimidated let it be them.

IN WHAT DIRECTION IS BARRY REALLY TRYING TO TAKE US?


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Whew, what's that smell? Oh, that's the smell of our rotten economy."
 
We are constantly hearing from those who like to throw stones at America, many of whom are home grown America haters, that is America that should shoulder the majority of the blame for world poverty. But as you can see on the list below, poverty is pretty much self-inflicted, with any country finding itself in such a position not only having had brought about their own condition but being solely responsible for perpetuating it. Now what is being attempted by Barry, is to not work to move those countries at the bottom of this list up, but to increase efforts to move the United States further down.  He agrees with those who say it is our fault that there are those in poverty, because, you see,  we are so greedy and we care so little for others around the World.  So therefore we must be the ones that must be made to pay and so it is then, his plan to do whatever is necessary to bring us down to their levle an to eventually turn us into just one more Third World country.

For 15 years, The Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation have been measuring countries’ commitment to free-market capitalism in the "Index of Economic Freedom." The 2009 Index, published back in January, provides strong evidence that the countries that maintain the freest economies do the best job of promoting prosperity for all citizens. The positive correlation between economic freedom and national income is confirmed yet again by this year’s data. The freest countries enjoy per capita incomes over 10 times higher than those in countries ranked as "repressed." This year, for the first time, the Index also correlates economic freedom with important societal values like poverty reduction, human development, political freedom and environmental protection. The linkages are robust, with economically freer countries performing significantly better on every indicator of well-being.

The Index of Economic freedom examines 10 economic characteristics of those countries on the list. Among those characteristics are property rights, monetary stability, freedom from government , trade restrictions, business regulations and government corruption. Using these measures of economic freedom, countries are ranked.

Now if you listen to Barry and are watching what it is he is trying to do, which is basically to move this country away from Capitalism and the free market and toward an environment of more governmental control, you’ll see that the countries that have in fact tried something similar have proceeded to move down the list. Barry’s plan for deficit spending, his drive to expropriation of land and resources, and of course his pushing for government support of favored enterprises will destroy our economy; will virtually guarantee a soon to arrive hyperinflation and together with obvious Democrat corruption will have the effect of devastating our nation and our economy. As you can from the list, Hong Kong and Singapore are once again the freest economies in the world, followed in the rankings by Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. The U.S. slipped one spot to sixth place this year because of increases in both tax revenue and government spending as a percentage of GDP. Conditions favored by Barry that can only result in America slipping further down the list. But is that what Barry is in fact trying to accomplish?  Is he trying to make America into a country that more closely resembles those at the bottom of the list? I think that is a very fair question to ask after seeing what he has accomplished thus far in his first 4 months in office and what he claims that he still hopes to get accomplished to supposedly fix our economy. Again, I would argue that he and the Democrat Party have no intention to fix anything, they only wish to make matters worse in an attempt to get more of us totally dependant on the government as are the citizens of those countries on the bottom of this list.  Look out Cuba and North Korea, here comes the United States of America.

BARRY SEEMS A LITTLE DEFENSIVE REGARDING HIS, OR HIS LACK OF, ANY NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY

FILE -- In May 21, 2009 file photos President Barack Obama, left, delivers an address on national security, terrorism, and the closing of Guantanamo Bay prison, Thursday, May 21, 2009, at the National Archives in Washington.
              THE TRAITOR              AND              THE PATRIOT
 
Once again Barry "Almighty", The Messiah, along with his ever-present teleprompter, is out there trying his best at the hard sell, trying to convince us that he will do all that is necessary to keep us all safe. But, according to Barry, he will accomplish it in a much more honorable way than was George W. Bush able to. I suppose that's something similiar to when candidate John Kerry Heinz said that he would combat terrorism in a more sensitive way, whatever the heck that meant.  My friends, we are being sold nothing but a bill of goods by someone who is doing his best to implement a "Rodney King" type of National Defense policy. One in which he asks, "Can’t we all just get along?"  Barry is doing his best to rewrite history, a history that show that Liberal Democrats are proponents of a strong national defense. Unfortunately for him, there is example after example that reveal how Barry and those of his ilk have repeatedly shown a willingness, almost an eagerness to do just the opposite. And thus it was yet another attempt to do just that in what appeared to be nothing more than just one more campaign speech given in all places as the present home of our founding documents. It was quite fitting however that this fraud of a man should give a speech while standing in front of a copy of the U.S. Constitution. A document that Barry has continually shown such a willful disdain. Throughout entirety of Barry’s speech he seemed so angry, angry in both his demeanor and tone, as if to say how dare we little people attempt to second guess the wishes of the Messiah. He who knows what’s best for the country and us, how dare we presume to think ourselves as capable of being able to question that which he has planned for us. But Barry seems to be stuck in campaign mode, unable to make any forward progress continuing to only blame everything on Bush. With him, even though he ardently claims otherwise, it’s all about the last eight years and how badly that incompetent Bush simply screwed everything up! So much so that there were 28 separate mentions about the mess Bush left behind for him, the Barry "Almighty", to now have to clean up. In doing so all he does is to consistently reveal himself as a man totally devoid of any character as well as possessing absolutely zero class. So I say, ok Barry, the time has come to lead not whine. As Barry has been so quick to point out on any number of occasions, he won, so my question to him is, when is he going to start acting like it.

In his speech that Barry gave at the National Archives he once again, and with the aid of his teleprompter, showed himself to the incompetent boob we all knew he was even before a majority of us decided it would be a could idea to buy into his brand of change and elect him as our president. All he can still manage to do is to harp on what he calls the failures of the last eight years. Here we are not having been attacked again since that fateful September day and all this gutless loser can keep whining about is how those measures that were taken to keep safe were un-American, and something that undermined our American values. What a bunch of crap! In his speech Barry, in his standard form of empty but pretty rhetoric he said, "We know that this threat will be with us for a long time, and that we must use all elements of our power to defeat it. Already, we have taken several steps to achieve that goal. For the first time since 2002, we are providing the necessary resources and strategic direction to take the fight to the extremists who attacked us on 9/11 in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We are investing in the 21st century military and intelligence capabilities that will allow us to stay one step ahead of a nimble enemy. We have re-energized a global non-proliferation regime to deny the world’s most dangerous people access to the world’s deadliest weapons, and launched an effort to secure all loose nuclear materials within four years. We are better protecting our border, and increasing our preparedness for any future attack or natural disaster. We are building new partnerships around the world to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and its affiliates. And we have renewed American diplomacy so that we once again have the strength and standing to truly lead the world. These steps are all critical to keeping America secure. But I believe with every fiber of my being that in the long run we also cannot keep this country safe unless we enlist the power of our most fundamental values. The documents that we hold in this very hall – the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights –are not simply words written into aging parchment. They are the foundation of liberty and justice in this country, and a light that shines for all who seek freedom, fairness, equality and dignity in the world." He is trying so hard to convince us that he is on the job and doing whatever it takes to keep us safe, but it’s all nothing more than a lie. That he has the nerve to mention American values as if they are something that he truly believes in is nothing more than a sick joke. If there is one thing I can say with no reservation it is that Barry’s values are not American values nor are they my values and I pray I never get to the place where mine and his are in agreement. And regarding our founding documents, I seriously doubt this moron even knows what it is in these documents and what the words they contain actually represent. Barry simply does not assign the same meaning, or value, to those historic words contained in the Constitution as did the Founders who drafted them. He sees them as "just words" written by a bunch of old dead white guys in a much different time.

But there came even more drivel, "After 9/11, we knew that we had entered a new era – that enemies who did not abide by any law of war would present new challenges to our application of the law; that our government would need new tools to protect the American people, and that these tools would have to allow us to prevent attacks instead of simply prosecuting those who try to carry them out. Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. And I believe that those decisions were motivated by a sincere desire to protect the American people. But I also believe that – too often – our government made decisions based upon fear rather than foresight, and all too often trimmed facts and evidence to fit ideological predisposition’s. Instead of strategically applying our power and our principles, we too often set those principles aside as luxuries that we could no longer afford. And in this season of fear, too many of us – Democrats and Republicans; politicians, journalists and citizens – fell silent." Speaking in hindsight, which is nearly always 20/20, here is a man with absolutely no principles accusing those who kept us safe for seven and a half years as being the guilty ones who chose to cast aside American principles. What a laugher! He loves to claim that, as a country, we went off course straying from the values that make this country safe. RIGHT! He claims to be overly concerned regarding perception versus reality when it comes to making sure these murdering terrorists are sufficiently interrogated to get the information needed to save American lives. "Now let me be clear: we are indeed at war with al Qaeda and its affiliates. We do need to update our institutions to deal with this threat. But we must do so with an abiding confidence in the rule of law and due process; in checks and balances and accountability. For reasons that I will explain, the decisions that were made over the last eight years established an ad hoc legal approach for fighting terrorism that was neither effective nor sustainable – a framework that failed to rely on our legal traditions and time-tested institutions; that failed to use our values as a compass. And that is why I took several steps upon taking office to better protect the American people. I know some have argued that brutal methods like water-boarding were necessary to keep us safe. I could not disagree more. As Commander-in-Chief, I see the intelligence, I bear responsibility for keeping this country safe, and I reject the assertion that these are the most effective means of interrogation. What's more, they undermine the rule of law. They alienate us in the world. They serve as a recruitment tool for terrorists, and increase the will of our enemies to fight us, while decreasing the will of others to work with America." Again, he speaks of the rule of law and due process, something he seeks to undermine at every opportunity if it suits him and aid in the accomplishment of his desired end goal. How exactly is he planning to keep me safer than I was during the last eight years? Sorry, but I’m not feeling better protected because of anything Barry has done, if anything I feel much less protected. He claims that those "brutal" methods of interrogation that were used serve as a recruitment tool for terrorists, yet that seems to be nothing more than just another myth (lie) perpetuated by himself and his appeasement oriented Democrat Party. He claims he has made us safer because, "I banned the use of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques by the United States of America. I know some have argued that brutal methods like water-boarding were necessary to keep us safe. I could not disagree more." Of course, because according to Barry, we should be able to do no more than to ask pretty please when asking these murdering terrorist questions regarding their plans to kill Americans.

His idiotic plan to close Guatanamo puts on display the shear idiocy and incompetence not only possessed by our president but his entire inept administration. Continuing to sound like the proverbial broken record when speaking about Guantanamo he drones on saying, "So the record is clear: rather than keep us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security. It is a rallying cry for our enemies. It sets back the willingness of our allies to work with us in fighting an enemy that operates in scores of countries. By any measure, the costs of keeping it open far exceed the complications involved in closing it. That is why I argued that it should be closed throughout my campaign. And that is why I ordered it closed within one year. There is also no question that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is America’s strongest currency in the world. Instead of building a durable framework for the struggle against al Qaeda that drew upon our deeply held values and traditions, our government was defending positions that undermined the rule of law. Indeed, part of the rationale for establishing Guantanamo in the first place was the misplaced notion that a prison there would be beyond the law – a proposition that the Supreme Court soundly rejected." Yeah, a Supreme Court where a majority of the justices are much more concerned about getting good press than they are about making sound judicial decisions derived from a strict interpretation of the Constitution and that actually keep Americans safe. "Meanwhile, instead of serving as a tool to counter-terrorism, Guantanamo became a symbol that helped al Qaeda recruit terrorists to its cause. Indeed, the existence of Guantanamo likely created more terrorists around the world than it ever detained." You know, that entire statement is nothing more than a complete lie, and Barry knows it. He repeatedly makes the attempt to show that Guantanamo has been an abject failure because, "For over seven years, we have detained hundreds of people at Guantanamo. During that time, the system of Military Commissions at Guantanamo succeeded in convicting a grand total of three suspected terrorists. Let me repeat that: three convictions in over seven years." And just why is that Barry? Could it be that because your friends in the ACLU and some who are even now, presently serving in your administration, and working in conjunction with a somewhat willing judiciary, have been using every legal maneuver possible to drag out the entire process? No, how could that be, you’re trying to keep us safe, right?

He goes on to say that, "Now, over the last several weeks, we have seen a return of the politicization of these issues that have characterized the last several years. I understand that these problems arouse passions and concerns. They should. We are confronting some of the most complicated questions that a democracy can face. But I have no interest in spending our time re-litigating the policies of the last eight years. I want to solve these problems, and I want to solve them together as Americans. And we will be ill served by some of the fear-mongering that emerges whenever we discuss this issue. Listening to the recent debate, I’ve heard words that are calculated to scare people rather than educate them; words that have more to do with politics than protecting our country." Fear-mongering? Everything, and I do mean everything, Barry has done since taking office, with regard to National Security, has done nothing if not place this country and every person in it in far greater danger than they were in just roughly 120 days ago. And he does show any kind of a willingness to solve these problems together with anybody. It should be painfully obvious by now that it’s Barry’s way or the highway. Things have progressed to the point now where any rational thinking American should be asking the question, just whose side is this guy on anyway. Fear-mongering, yeah right! Still trying to convince us that he has our safety near and dear to his heart he claims, "As our efforts to close Guantanamo move forward, I know that the politics in Congress will be difficult. These issues are fodder for 30-second commercials and direct mail pieces that are designed to frighten. I get it. But if we continue to make decisions from within a climate of fear, we will make more mistakes. And if we refuse to deal with these issues today, then I guarantee you that they will be an albatross around our efforts to combat terrorism in the future. I have confidence that the American people are more interested in doing what is right to protect this country than in political posturing. I am not the only person in this city who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution – so did each and every member of Congress. Together we have a responsibility to enlist our values in the effort to secure our people, and to leave behind the legacy that makes it easier for future Presidents to keep this country safe." If anyone is doing any political posturing, Barry need look no further than the nearest mirror to identify the biggest culprit in that area.

Going back to bash the Bush years yet again he states that, "In all of the areas that I have discussed today, the policies that I have proposed represent a new direction from the last eight years. To protect the American people and our values, we have banned enhanced interrogation techniques. We are closing the prison at Guantanamo. We are reforming Military Commissions, and we will pursue a new legal regime to detain terrorists. We are declassifying more information and embracing more oversight of our actions, and narrowing our use of the State Secrets privilege. These are dramatic changes that will put our approach to national security on a surer, safer and more sustainable footing, and their implementation will take time. There is a core principle that we will apply to all of our actions: even as we clean up the mess at Guantanamo, we will constantly re-evaluate our approach, subject our decisions to review from the other branches of government, and seek the strongest and most sustainable legal framework for addressing these issues in the long-term. By doing that, we can leave behind a legacy that outlasts my Administration, and that endures for the next President and the President after that; a legacy that protects the American people, and enjoys broad legitimacy at home and abroad." Just who is it that forms this contingency abroad to whom we must legitimize our need to protect ourselves? People like the French, who provide the definition of gutless and appeasement oriented cowardice. We are fighting for our survival and we need not have to justify ourselves or our tactics to anyone. No one should be permitted to dictate to us how it is that we shall defend ourselves. Let them lose 3,000 of their citizens and lets see how far they would be willing to go to prevent more needless deaths. Coming from Barry this is nothing more that hypocritical nonsense. And rambling continued, "We see that, above all, in how the recent debate has been obscured by two opposite and absolutist ends. On one side of the spectrum, there are those who make little allowance for the unique challenges posed by terrorism, and who would almost never put national security over transparency. On the other end of the spectrum, there are those who embrace a view that can be summarized in two words: "anything goes." Their arguments suggest that the ends of fighting terrorism can be used to justify any means, and that the President should have blanket authority to do whatever he wants – provided that it is a President with whom they agree." I hardly think that under President Bush we ever came close to, as Barry puts it, an "anything goes" mentality, and there’s Barry’s whole screwy notion about the necessity for being transparent, transparent to whom exactly? Barry’s terrorist buddies, that’s who!

Toward the end of the speech the crap REALLY started to get a little too deep with Barry claiming, "I can stand here today, as President of the United States, and say without exception or equivocation that we do not torture, and that we will vigorously protect our people while forging a strong and durable framework that allows us to fight terrorism while abiding by the rule of law. Make no mistake: if we fail to turn the page on the approach that was taken over the past several years, then I will not be able to say that as President. And if we cannot stand for those core values, then we are not keeping faith with the documents that are enshrined in this hall." And in ending what was nothing more than just one more campaign speech Barry said, "This must be our common purpose. I ran for President because I believe that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together. We will not be safe if we see national security as a wedge that divides America – it can and must be a cause that unites us as one people, as one nation. We have done so before in times that were more perilous than ours. We will do so once again." The sad truth of the matter here is that Barry can use all the pretty words he wants, read with perfection from his teleprompter, but he no desire to work together with anyone except those like minded traitors he associates with. And there is no wedge that is being driven into the dividing of America except that one being used by Barry. The opposition is doing nothing more than presenting the stark truth and the reality regarding what it is that Barry is ardently trying to accomplish and the extreme danger that he is so willingly to bring upon us. If we bring ourselves to unite behind his twisted ideas for how best to defend ourselves there can be only be one result. The consequences of such a mindset will be deadly, and not for the terrorist, but for millions of American citizens.

I THANK GOD FOR DICK CHANEY and hope for the sake of the county that he will continue to speak out against what it is that Barry wishes to perpetrate against our country!

TO MY FELLOW FLORIDIANS, CRIST IS NOT THE ONE!

When I heard that Charlie Crist had decided to throw his hat into the ring and run for the Senate, I thought to myself, the Republican Party can do a whole lot better for itself than having as its candidate someone like Crist, who is nothing if not just another political opportunist. The very last thing we need in the Senate is another limp wristed Republican in name only. You may all recall that he was a very vocal advocate for John McCain and an ardent supporter for the passage of Obama’s wasteful stimulus package. He does not represent conservatism but instead is a believer in the same faulty philosophy as that of other "moderate" Republicans and he will do nothing to advance the conservative cause in Congress. We need to decide whether we simply want to send one more of what we have too many of in Washington, or someone who will actually put the country before their own personal political ambition. Not only can we do better than Crist, we must!   Electing a John McCain wanna be can only result in the prolonging of the amount of time it will take us to once more return adult supervision to the running of government. We don’t need another Republican who is willing to simply go along for the ride with the current administration’s plans to financially, and every other way, ruin our country. We need a strong advocate for conservative principles, something that I am fairly confident that we would not see coming from a Senator Crist. I had to chuckle when he said he had decided to run because of the people. Sorry Charlie, I’m just not buying it, he’s doing it for no one other than Charlie Crist. Which is fine, I guess, just don’t try tell me it’s because of the people, because it’s not.

BARRY AND THE DEMOCRATS CONTINUE EFFORTS TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER

A critical element in their plan to march toward the successful completion of the socialist agenda that Barry and the Democrats wish to force upon this country, is their continuing effort to actively encourage class warfare. They are constantly trying to conceive of new ways to stir up those who, thanks to Democrats, perceive themselves to be the "have nots" against those who are perceived to be the "haves." They attempt to accomplish this little feat through the skillful and creative use of a highly effective dis-information campaign consisting of lies, innuendo and the effective burying of facts that would otherwise expose their plan for exactly what it is, pure B.S. It is a deceptive campaign, which is very enthusiastically supported and even expanded upon by their cohorts in an obviously politically corrupt and blatantly dishonest news media. They continually harp on the "fact" that the rich in this country are getting richer at the expense of the poor, who are as a direct result, in their opinion, getting poorer. Democrats are confident that by convincing the "poor" that they are being exploiting by the dishonest "rich" they can enhance their ability to increase their political power. Their constant agitation of the so-called poor can be seen as going all the way back as far as you care to look.

Today’s obvious Socialists such as Barry "Almighty" want nothing more than to expand their already all encompassing entitlement programs and income redistribution schemes, by attempting to perpetuate the myth through that which is nothing more than purely political propaganda. They simply ignore any and all evidence that contradicts the facts regarding their ploy to convince the sympathetic, and one could argue somewhat naïve, voters that the poor continue to be victimized by the evil rich, who continue to get even richer. The evidence they are so willing to ignore, bury or simply cast aside as irrelevant or as being unsubstantiated, does reveal that the rich may be getting richer, but it also shows that the poor are getting richer as well. In a study of such things that was done it was revealed that only 5 percent of those in the bottom fifth of the of the income distribution in 1975 remained there in 1991. Further it was shown 3 out of 10 of the lowest income earners in 1975 moved all the way into the top fifth of income earners by 1991. Those who were poor in 1975 had an inflation-adjusted average income gain of $27,745 by 1991. Those workers in the top fifth of income earners in 1975 were better off in 1991 by an average of only $4,354. The truth of the matter is that the average poor in America has more living space than the average non-poor individual living in Paris, London, Athens and practically any other European city.

Liberal Democrats love to focus on the nonsensical notion that the poor are stuck in their status because of those who are perceived to be in a position to take advantage of them. They do so because it tugs at the hearts of decent people and it fits in nicely with their agenda for expanding the size and cost government sponsored entitlement programs. But there’s just one thing wrong with their premise, it’s all based on a lie. At a time when nearly three quarters of "poor" households own a car and 30 percent own two or more cars, 78 percent of the "poor" own a VCR or DVD player, 62 percent have cable or satellite television and a third have a dishwasher, we’re supposed believe these people are just so terribly bad off and to the point of being destitute. If we’re all being honest with one another, it’s plain to see that long term poverty in America today is nothing if not self-inflicted and knowing what it takes to avoid being trapped in it is not rocket science. The rules of the game for excelling in America are really pretty simple. All you have to do is to; 1) Graduate from High School, 2) Get married "before" you have kids, and stay married, 3) Work at any job, even one that starts out paying the minimum wage. Any last but not least, probably the easiest thing of all, avoid engaging in criminal behavior. All in all these are pretty simple rules that virtually guarantee success. And there is absolutely nothing that government can do to ensure the same degree of success as that of simply following these commonsense rules of life.

The longer the "poor" in this country allow themselves to be so easily manipulated by the Democrats the longer they will be effectively hampering their own ability to successfully move up the economic ladder and to achieve their own version of prosperity. If they wish to ever become upwardly mobile, economically speaking, it would behoove them greatly to send Barry and the Democrats packing. But it would seem that at least for now anyway, they just don’t seem to get it and I’m not really sure why. I don’t know if it’s because they enjoy wallowing in their self-perpetuating misery created by their own hands or if they are simply content living day to day totally dependant on government handouts paid for by their fellow citizens. Either way they have permitted themselves to become nothing more than pawns of the Democrat Party to be exploited for no other reason than to present those very same Democrats with an opportunity to increase their political power. They must come to understand that the survival of the country must come first and that only if we all stand united can be save America. Fore if we allow the Democrats to divide us then our country will surely be doomed and we all, rich and poor alike, will find ourselves having to live with the same consequences.
