Progressivism Versus Conservatism. A Fight To The Finish.

One of the things that has made this country so great among other nations, is the first amendment to the US Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

This part of our bill of rights was so important in the eyes of the founders, that it was given top billing. First in the stack so to speak. Without freedom of speech and freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom to gather and to petition the government for a *redress of grievances, we would be living under the thumb of our government. These were wise men and they each knew what happens when your government becomes so powerful, that you live in fear of it.

* Redress:
redress v. 1. To set right, remedy or rectify. 2. To make amends for. n. 1. Satisfaction for wrong done; reparation. 2. Correction.

So where are we at now? It appears that the very government that we have been the beneficiaries of, for so long is going askew. It has overgrown its boundaries and we are no longer in control of it, it on the other hand is controlling us. The very basic rights guaranteed to Americans, under the US Constitution are being continually put to the test and assaulted by what seems to be a leftist ideology. Is this conspiracy theory? Lets take a closer look and see.

Since it became all too apparent that this administration was veering away from it’s pre-election selling points of being a centrist and a uniter, with transparency in government and a post racial miracle cure, along with some hopey-changy B.S., followed by government takeovers of almost everything that makes money in this country and the insane squandering of our hard earned taxpayers dollars (mine too damn it!) via; TARP and pork-u-lus coupled with the arrogant attitude emanating from Washington which has been quite simply stated: “we are screwing you and there is not a hell-of-a-lot thing that you can do about it!” It is no wonder that mainstream America finally pulled their collective head’s out of the sand and screamed out loud; “WTF!” I know that I did and probably you too if you are reading this. To put it in simple, easy to understand language, that even a liberal can understand, you have pushed us to the breaking point and we are pissed!

My America, that I love so dearly, has been torn apart by this renegade administration and big brother is moving deeper into your and my life, than at any time in past history. This is what happens when you turn your backs on progressives and neglect to mind the store. They are thieves. They will steal you and I blind, right under our very nose if you let them. They have stolen our prosperity, our freedoms and our moral values.

Out of all of this chaos that they created, a movement arose; “The Tea Party.” Mainstream Americans that stood up finally and said; “we have had enough!” Now, look at it closely. Is it really a party? Not in the political party sense, or at least not yet. It is however doing something that is scaring the crap out of the progressives; it is growing. GROWING! They would love for it to just go away, back to what it was when they first took over DC. They have been so used to passing legislation without any thought of a backlash, that it just seemed normal to them. This is nothing new under the sun folks. They have been doing this for many years, you were just not paying attention.

~Honorable Mention ~

• Prohibition. They decided for you, that you did not need to take a drink any more. That went over real well. It Started the gangster wars and made law abiding citizens into common criminals. It also made a few people very wealthy. Like: the Kennedy’s.
• The gold standard. Once was a time when our currency was backed up by gold, in the federal depository. That is history. Now we just print more money when we run out. I wish that I could do that at home!
• Income tax. That was a great one!
• Social Security. Truly a marvelous plan, the only thing was; there was all of this un-spent money just laying there, what a great opportunity for the Feds. (They won’t even notice, if we take just a bit to pay some of our bills with.) It’s broke now and yes we noticed.

• Remember prayer in school? They took that away and you said; “okay we didn’t really need that anyways, it’s okay.”
• Welfare, social entitlements and affirmative action. Don’ t even get me started. The first one has sucked this country dry. Whatever happened to working for a living?
• Cut the military budget to balance the budget. That is how the progressives operate best. Spend more money than we have on entitlements, raise taxes and cut the military budget to pay for it. Who needs National Security anyways. Right? Clinton and his staff excelled in this.
• TARP
• Obama-Care. A Ponzi scam, to beat all Ponzi scams. A total lie from beginning to end.
• Immigration Policy. Or lack of a policy, is drying up the economies of many of our individual states. Their hospitals are overcrowded, law enforcement is taxed, our jails are full of illegals costing us a fortune and I have to press one for English. That in it self is ridiculous.

So “The Tea Party” has been born. Opposition in the form of Conservatism. The antithesis of progressivism. It has stuck in their craw and they are screaming out loud. Bigots! Racists! Anti- Americans! Brown Shirts! Home-grown Terrorists! Hard to defend yourself against all of those lies isn’t it? What are we really? Americans mostly. Working people, young and old, black and white, Some Asian and some Hispanic. People from all walks of life.

We have been asleep at the wheel way too long. The progressives will destroy this country, if left unchecked. You lose your liberties a little bit at the time and you are lulled into that; it will be alright mentality. Look what happened in less than two years. That really is nothing, compared to what has been happening all along. We let it happen. Look folks, it’s like this; the other side never rests. They keep on pushing their agenda regardless. They have been, for a very long time.

Our founding fathers were very smart and wise men. Notice that freedom of speech and religion are in the first amendment. Ahh…but the second amendment is the eye catcher!

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Why do you suppose that was next in importance? I will tell you why. In case the first amendment is violated. A well armed public is a deterrent to a government out of control. They know that all too well. So ask yourself this; what amendment have they been trying to get rid of the most? You guessed it. The second amendment. Think it cannot happen? Guess again.

So what is next on this administrations agenda? Want to make any bets? Stand up for your liberty. Teach your children about patriotism and the founding fathers of this great nation. Teach your children about the sanctity of the family and honor. Teach them to be ever alert to the dangers of apathy. Most of all; VOTE! Know your candidates and vote, every single election is important. It is your duty as an American citizen. Let this be a wake up call.

Islama-phobia or Obama-phobia? The Trillion Dollar Question.

What is it really? Are we working our selves up in a frenzy over a fear of Islam, or is it a result of our distrust of Obama? That is the million dollar question or should I say; trillion dollar question. Probably the latter.

I think that the current controversy is a little too convenient, considering what is currently at the forefront of the nations attention. I don’t know about you, but this administration and it’s policies, are like a top fuel dragster headed down the speedway, completely out of control and we as spectators, are directly in it’s path. The only possible result is utter catastrophe. Now this Imam in New york is gathering the attention of the nation, while who knows what, happens behind our back. Kind of like the smoke and mirror tricks that they have used against us from the beginning, only now we are on to their game. If indeed it were a game. Folks, this is serious business’ and it isgoing on right in front of our very eyes. Downright scary

The nation that we know as the United States of America is at risk of losing it’s democracy. Only this time, instead of a foreign power trying to destroy us, our very own leadership is behind it. I have tried to look at all that has occurred in the short eighteen months that this administration has been in power and I can only come to one conclusion, they are trying to bring this nation down to it’s knees and along the way, they are telling us that all is well, that this is necessary because we are in a crisis.

The most radical legislation in the history of Congress has been pushed through against the will of the American people. Our government has been hijacked. They just keep on passing this garbage and all the while, they are telling us that it is necessary for the good of the country. Obama-care was slammed down our throats and we dared not speak out against it. Pelosi and her minions locked arms and walked belligerently through the people gathered to oppose it. Their actions that day were startling to say the very least. One bad bill after another, literally slammed down our throats, with words attached to them like; “We have to pass it to find out whats in it.” What kind of crap is that?

This country is divided as never before and all of it is a direct result of government policy. Are they trying to cause civil unrest? They are sure getting it. It’s like they keep drawing a line in the sand and challenging us to cross it! Like the bully on the block, daring us to do something about it.

This mosque issue, should not even be an issue. Where are the leaders who should be standing up and saying not only NO, but HELL NO! Where are their balls? Do they have any at all? What is wrong with the leadership of this great nation? Where have all of the PATRIOTS gone to? Do any of them up there even care about their own country? Any one?

Obama-care stank like fresh manure, from the very beginning and like a bunch of mindless idiots, they passed it anyways. The TARP bill was ill conceived and yet, just like Emeril Lagasse; “BAMMM!” There it was. We never had a chance. We the people, are now completely at the mercy of this bunch of lunatics in charge and all the while they look down on us with utter contempt. Harry Reid, chief thug in charge looks upon us, as though we are insects and he is the big thumb. It is infuriating. What has happened in this short time to the country that I know? The people standing up to this mosque, are now being compared to NAZIS! How can this be? Have they forgotten what is not there any more? Have they forgotten how many of us were slaughtered there on 9-11?

Now there is a back-lash. Have they miscalculated? Not only have the people been pushing back, but the individual states are pushing back against this insanity. Lawsuits are popping up everywhere and there is talk of repealing Obama-care, much to the chagrin of this administration, who now appears to see that the same old lines that they have been sending our way are no longer effective. We are not as stupid as they believe us to be.

Who should we fear? The Imam or Obama? I think that the least of our worries is this Imam. We have two more years of this president and I for one am worried. What is next?

November offers a glimmer of hope to a beleaguered nation and it will not come soon enough. Send those treacherous men in Washington a clear message on the 2^nd. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! You work for us! I hope that all will see how easily freedom can be lost as a result of all of this turmoil and never allow this to happen again. Hope and Change. I don’t know about you but, I have all of that I can stand!

For the first time in a very long time, the basic freedoms that we have enjoyed as a free nation, are at stake.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.“

~ Preamble to The Declaration of Independence. July 4, 1776 ~

Post American World. The End Of Freedom?

So where are we headed as a nation? Do you ever sit back and wonder what is happening to America? Is this era that appears to be heading our way rapidly, only the beginning of the end of things as we know it? Up is down and down is up. We seem to be spiraling out of control and there seems to be nothing that can stop it.

Lets take a glance around us and see if we can make sense of it all.

Our economy is in the tank. There are no signs of immediate relief and it seems as if our government is oblivious to it all, while unemployment is at an all time high, mortgages are failing at record rates, corporations are going broke and we are bailing them out right and left, faster than the money can be printed. There seems to be no urgent need for our leaders to look at the books, which shows disastrous consequence for such unprecedented spending. Does anyone up there in DC even care? Apparently not.

Then there is Mexico. Our southern neighbor. The economy there, is even worse than here and they are coming across the border by the thousands. No effort by our federal government to try and slow it down, let alone stop it. Add to the mix, the drug lords and their war against the Mexican government. Last count, over 26,000 killed, as a result of this deadly war and it is just across the border. Illegals are coming across the border and now are carrying backpacks full of drugs and weapons. The amount being brought across on a daily basis, verified by video surveillance is sobering. The drug cartels are setting up power bases in our own country and yet our federal government says that there is nothing that they can do about it. Arizona tried to take matters into their own hands and the feds sued them in court, won and had it stopped. Amazingly, they will not do anything and yet they stand in the way of those trying to stop it.

Hugo Chavez, currently setting himself up as dictator of Venezuela and allying himself with the likes of Iran, Syria, China and Russia. Who are more than elated with that idea and are sending him weapons, technology and advisers. Last seen in Iran touring their nuclear facilities and hugging Mahmoud Ahmadinajad, both seemed to be having a grand old time in the photos taken at the meeting. Iran is interested in uranium deposits in Venezuela. I wonder what mischief those two crazy guys are cooking up?

Then there is our old friend Louis Farrahkahn and his nation of Islam cult, still jabbering behind the scenes about the wicked white man and his imminent demise at their hands. Yes, he wants to destroy America and all of the evil white people that inhabit it, with the help of some aliens, that are orbiting the Earth in a mother-ship about a half mile in diameter, filled to the brim with 1500 bomber planes, just waiting to destroy the white race and restore the true master race of Africans and African Americans back to power. What? He said that he has been on board and that is the truth, you can not make this stuff up folks! I believe his cheese has finally slid off of his cracker, maybe they are here to take him and his band of crazies back home, one can only hope. All of this still does not make him any less dangerous.

Just when you thought that things could not get any worse, there is Iran. Working fast and furious trying to become a nuclear power. They will do this and I emphasize “WILL”. Meanwhile we foolishly keep thinking that a big group hug by our fearless leader PBO and an apology or two for all of the terrorist countries, will make it better somehow and all will be okay here. Maybe they will leave us alone, one might think. Well think about this, in just two days, Russian technicians will lower the uranium fuel rods into the nuclear reactor at Bushehr. Thus enabling Iran to produce Plutonium 239. The fissile material needed for an Atomic Bomb. Not to worry though, Russia says that they negotiated a deal with Tehran and will take the spent rods back to the mother-land for processing, rather than Iran. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. How about you? Wow, a nation dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the USA, with nukes!

Mahmoud being the incredibly sane man that he is, still believes that the holocaust was a fake and that we dropped the Twin Towers in New York, instead of the Islamic Terrorist’s and having seen the hidden Imam who will bring about the Muslim’s version of Revelations (or the end of the world) with Islam being the good guys and winning the final war, is a pretty scary scenario. Recently they put a communication satellite into orbit, with a two stage ballistic missile, that only lacks a re-entry vehicle and guidance mechanism for a nuclear weapon but, relax this will not take long with all of our friends in the world who would gladly trade that bit of technology for some of Iran’s oil and natural gas reserves. Besides, everyone else in the world now hates us, even our longtime allies that this administration has snubbed. How long will it be before Iran calls our bluff and detonates a Nuke somewhere? Maybe even here.

~33 Minutes~

The latest hot topic, being the Mosque at ground zero in New York and all of the rhetoric coming from both sides of the debate. Some saying that the US Constitution states that they have a right to build there to express their freedom of religion and others saying that the mastermind behind this plan is a radical Muslim and that 3000 American deaths on that site at the hands of terrorist’s are the reason why it should be banned. I don’t know…lets see…Where were you on 9/11? Did you see those people jumping out of the top floors of the Towers rather than being burnt alive? I wasn’t even there and am still traumatized by that scene. It was horrible and the families of those victims will get to hear the Adhan or the Muslim call to prayer five times a day, only to remind them of that fateful day if this thing is allowed to be built there. Is it a provocation? I would say so, as there are no less than 100 mosques already in New York, why do they need one in that exact location? Are they building bridges?Do they think that it will heal an open wound? I think that it will do the exact opposite and that is their intention. It is a victory mosque. If allowed, it will show the world that they won the battle.

Islam and infidels can not co-exist according to the Qur’an. Us and all of the free world being infidels (or those who do not except Islam). We are likened to all things foul; urine, excrement, pigs, etc. We as infidels are not even allowed into the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the holy place of Islam, by virtue of the fact that they believe that we are not clean. Could we go to Saudi and build a Christian Church? We would be shot dead, if we even dared. According to the Qur’an, if we do not except Islam, we will be killed. It is every good Muslim’s duty to see that this is accomplished. There are no moderate Muslim’s who live by the Qur’an, contrary to what you are being told.

So where does this take us to? I spoke earlier about Revelations. An obscure book in the Holy Bible. Some call it a myth. Have you ever taken the time to read it? I have, many times over. It is about prophesy and the future of the human race. The last battle between the forces of good and evil, with the forces of good defeating evil for the final time, but not before most of humanity is destroyed. That battle-ground being a place in Israel called Megiddo. The text is mysterious, but it is a depiction of the total devastation of what we call civilization. If taken in the literal sense, it is in fact a nuclear war. With verses that depict the flesh being burned off of the bones before they even hit the ground, followed by disease, famine and more death. But not before a single world wide religion appears, along with one currency and one world wide government. Sound familiar? Look no further than Europe and the European Union as a model. All who joined the EU, gave up their currency for a new one, the Euro. In essence, they also gave up their individual sovereignty as a result of their joining. Then take a long look at Islam. They want the entire world and at the rate Islam is spreading it will not be much longer before that becomes a reality.

These are dangerous times. Our world has been through and survived many bad moments in history. The exception is; there were no nukes. We have seen what they can do in our generation. They brought an empire to it’s knees and ended a world war. Now, many nations around the globe have them. We endured a cold war with the constant threat of nuclear holocaust, but sanity prevailed. What if Adolph Hitler had developed the Atom Bomb before we did? What a different world this would be right now. He was a mad-man. A mad-man with a nuclear weapon, these are things that nightmares are made of.

Still think that the Book of Revelations is a myth?

This passage from the Holy Bible is chilling, it is from the book of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 6-11:

6- And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7- For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places.

8- All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9- Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10- And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11- And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

I am not preaching, but look around. Do you like what you see? Are you worried? You should be. This country was founded by God fearing men. We are off course. Morality is gone. Families are broken apart. Honor is a forgotten word. Religion is being demonized. Government is out of control. What should we do? I do not know about you, but I know what I do. I pray. Everyday. Think about it.

Obama, The Tea Party and A Day of Redemption

By now you may think that PBO is a socialist. So what. You get what you pay for. The American people voted him in with a wide margin of victory. There was no doubt about the outcome. The American people spoke on election day. Hope and change. He is indeed changing this country and if you don’t like it, tough. It is done. There is no turning it around now.

On March 21, 2010, Al Sharpton told Fox News, during the House of Representative’s passage of health care reform legislation; “I think that the president and Nancy Pelosi get credit, I think this began the transforming of the country the way the president had promised. This is what he ran on and if that transformation is socialism, then so be it. That is what the American public “overwhelmingly” voted for.”

It doesn’t come any louder or clearer than that. The cat is finally out of the bag.

We now also know that the healthcare bill is not about healthcare, it is indeed a tax, as I said all along. Right out of the New York times on July 16, 2010; “WASHINGTON — When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”
And that power, they say, is even more sweeping than the federal power to regulate interstate commerce.

Administration officials say the tax argument is a linchpin of their legal case in defense of the health care overhaul and its individual mandate, now being challenged in court by more than 20 states and several private organizations.”

Why else would they leave the collection of the money in the capable hands of the IRS. Did you foolishly believe for a minute that all of his smoke and mirror parlor tricks were for your health? If you did then you are indeed a sucker. When he promised you transparency in government, you were just looking in the wrong place for it. It was right in front of your eyes, all you had to do was look in the right direction. He said he was going to change America and he is doing exactly what he said he would do. Meanwhile you were laying on the sofa thinking that everything will work out just fine, surely it won’t change things that much. What a bunch of simpletons you are!

So why are you complaining? Now; what options do you have? Do you think that the “Tea Party” is going to stop all of this? Like the Calvary will come charging in with the bugler blowing “CHARGE” and all is going to be okay? You may well be mistaken. Do you honestly think that this congress is going to just turn around in November and repeal all of this? Why would they do that? They have been trying to get this done since the 40′s. You fell asleep at the wheel and look what happened. It is truly amazing how incredibly stupid and forgetful that the American public is. It is almost laughable.

In my own state of Georgia a gentleman named Roy Barnes is on the democratic ticket for governor this year. He won the Georgia primary and is their candidate. That doesn’t sound too awful unless you take into consideration the facts, that not to long ago, he was elected governor. His nickname was “King-Roy” and he was denied a second term by conservative voters, who were fed up with his lies and taxes, but here he is once again running on the exact same platform. Just as we are talking about cutting back, to balance the state budget, he is talking about putting teachers back to work who were furloughed and the only way to do that is to increase spending. Now look me in the eye and tell me that he isn’t planning on raising our taxes to get that little bit of trickery accomplished. If the teachers get together and vote this man back in, after they collectively tossed him out, then I have no sympathy for them. You absolutely, get what you pay for.

Which brings me back to PBO and the “Tea Party”. Good intentions aside, how are they going to change the way the Government conducts business? The house of representatives and the senate have been in power, long enough to circumvent any means of running them out of office. Hell, even when one of them, the likes of Charlie Rangle is caught red handed with his hand in the cookie jar, nothing will happen. There will be an investigation, he will make a deal and he may even resign, but I guarantee you, he will leave with full benefits, the likes of which you and I will never see in our lifetime.

When Obama-Care was passed, they conveniently exempted themselves, their staff and family from it. They have the best healthcare in the world and guess who pays for it. You and I.
The real problem in Washington is the government itself. It is a packaged deal with lots of perks, for those lucky enough to walk the halls as a senator or representative. There is an unlimited amount of money and power at their finger tips. It is like a den of thieves, all of them drunken with their power of office. It is a fraternity. Once in, you are a player. You will never see them overtly slamming another member of their ranks. They may disagree over policy, but that is about all that they will do. They protect each other. Kind of like the “World Wrestling Federation”. The wrestlers put on a great show as they yell at each other and slam their opponent to the canvas, sometimes with real blood in the mix, but at the end of the day, they will go to a club and share a beer or two, with a few laughs about that nights show. Believe me, it is all a show. This is exactly what our congress does. In the end, they are all on the same page, they just represent different party’s.

So you have these grandiose ideas that in November, you are going to make a change. Good luck with that. Until the day comes when, honor and integrity return to this nation, I feel that day of redemption will be far away. Many have went to congress with the notion that they are going to make a change for the better. It never happened. Just ask Scott Brown.

What will it take? Somebody with guts. Somebody with determination. Somebody with the will to run the corruption out of our government. I hope that he surfaces soon before it is too late.

In retrospect, maybe the “Tea Party” will make them take a closer look at who they are actually screwing: their fellow Americans. Maybe they will feel shame and remorse for their dirty deeds. One can only hope. We may actually be able to rid ourselves of a few bad ones, in November. Who will have the character to stand up to the indoctrination that they are going to be faced with, when they finally get there? What has happened here is a total loss of morality. They ran God off. Now look who is leading the way.

Short Skirts And A Faltering Economy

I am not sure you would call this story an article, as much as it should be called a “Rant”. I think that I have finally reached the limit on the amount of “B.S.” that a human being can digest in one sitting. With all of the monkey poop that has been thrown at the public from behind the cage doors of the liberal news media this past seventeen months following the immaculate election of PBO, with his delusions of success in everything from; the stimulus, to the bank and auto manufacturer bailouts, the grossly flawed number of jobs created or saved, coupled with; ”a world wide…the US really sucks tour” and now the oil spill that keeps on spilling, even though the government has been there from day one. I have finally reached a state of complete overload. This being brought about by over-hearing a radio newscast today, that made me pop my cork.

It stated the following: “Rising hemlines – along with upbeat songs on the radio – are signs of national optimism and can result in a happy outcome on both the economic and political scenes, according to a new research reported by the Daily Express.”

“When women start wearing mini skirts and happy tunes rise high on the charts, this means the nation is feeling content, according to John L. Casti, author of “Mood Matters: From Rising Skirt Lengths to the Collapse of World Powers.”

“All social events ranging from trends in pop music and art to the outcome of elections and even the rise and fall of great civilizations are biased by the attitudes a society holds to the future,” he said in the Daily Express.

Well…what do you think about that? In the words of comedian Lewis Black, “Who the f–k knew?” John L. Casti, a mathematician /economist, thinks that short skirts are the answer to the nations economic ills. I had to sit back, digest that for a bit and then I screamed so loud, that I am almost certain my brain hemorrhaged! It is not the fact that Mr. Casti formulated this opinion that upset me so, he may very well think that short skirts are the answer to all things bad. There was a time in my life when I too could agree with him on this matter. No! What snapped my mind, was the liberal news media’s attempt at yet another sugar coated news story. Their propaganda machine is cranking out their twisted views, at a rate rivaling that of Sir Elton John’s prolific songwriting career. Give me a break!

Try telling that lame story to a man who has been out of work for the last year and a half or to the fishermen down in Louisiana, who have lost their way of life, as a result of the total in-competence of this administration. Take a long hard look at our increasing national debt and the willingness of this bunch of clowns in DC to spend even more of our hard earned money. What is next? Tax increases for sure, but even they will not pay down this over-whelming debt. $12.5 trillion! That’s with a T! If this spending spiral does not stop soon, this great country and all of it’s history of patriotism, freedom and economic success will fade to black. It doesn’t take an economist to predict that! Common sense is enough and it looks as if that trait is rare in Washington these days.

So, the economy is faltering, there is zero job growth, we now have nationalized health care for everyone, the banks have been taken over by the government, PBO wants to kick somebody’s a– over the oil spill, instead of trying to stop it and Joe Biden just got through calling some poor schmuck, a smart a–, over his remark about lowering our taxes, even though he had just given the VP a free ice cream cone. Talk about your in-gratitude. After that colorful interlude from the VP, I would have insisted the Biden pay me for the cone!

Mr. Casti may very well be on to something! Maybe I just didn’t reason it out well enough. Bring on the short skirts! Break out the booze and lets all have a party to forget this awful mess that we are in! Ignorance is bliss. Can you dig it?

IMF Report. US Debt Will Be 100% Of GDP By 2015.

Don’t you just hate it when someone ends a discussion with the words; “I told you so!” Quite irritating isn’t it? Well, here we go. $789 billion for stimulus I, $87 billion for bank bailouts, $80 billion for the automakers bailout, $1.2 trillion for health care, add a few other programs recently passed and we top about $3 trillion in spending in the first year of PBO’s administration. That is conservatively speaking of course. These price tags are only preliminary. They are sure to escalate over time. In fact, they are guaranteed to escalate. In the history of federal government sponsored spending programs, I am not aware of a single one that ever came out under the original estimate. Yet our leaders spend a great amount of time and effort, trying to convince the public that they are spending our money wisely and that they will bring all of their grandiose spending bills in under budget.

If you believe all of that, I have some ocean front property in Nevada that I would like to sell you. Anyone with the least amount of sense can tell you that, it is not possible to spend yourself out of debt. If your debt exceeds your income, the logical step to take to reduce your debt, is to reduce your spending. That is economics 101. Even us dim-witted Joe Schmoes, know how to keep our checkbooks properly balanced to avoid an overdraft charge from the bank.

Our entire economic system is literally based on the belief, that the dollar is worth something. Years ago when we were on the gold standard, there was something tangible, backing up the value of the dollar. This Fiat currency that we have now, is a made-up work, of the likes of Alice In Wonderland. Our Congress buys into that notion, by spending as much as they like, without any fear of the economic collapse of our great nation. They seem to believe that we have an endless supply of money and that they are free to increase the size of government to any proportion, so they can regulate all of the idiotic entitlement programs that they can generate. Adding of course, more cost to their bill. How far can they go before they break the bank?

Apparently until the year 2015. At that point, according to the IMF, this nations debt will be at 100% of our GDP. In other words; we will owe, as much as we produce. What happens then? One need look no further than Greece. The EU is now in the process of bailing out an entire country. Greece is facing riots in the streets by angry citizens, upset by their own governments attempt to decrease their debt by cutting expenses. Kind of hard to trim the fat after you are used to eating it that way for so long.

Europe is a prime example of how NOT to run your economy. With all of the entitlement programs that they have, their citizens wind up paying for it out the nose, from excessive taxation. It would make better sense from a sane persons point of view to not spend any more than you earn. We, however are not quite as smart as the ones in DC, are we? Tim Geitner, the head of the IRS, could not even figure out how to file his own income tax. Now the Europeans are warning us about our own spending! Folks, we are in deep sh _t and yet our trusted federal government wants to keep on spending, and at some point in time, they are going to have to ask the question that is on everybody’s mind. “Where is all of this money going to come from?” What is their answer? Lets raise their taxes!

I have said it from the beginning, this healthcare scam (and that is exactly what it is, a scam) has only one intention and that is to tax us even more, under the guise of free health care for everyone, hence the urgency of its passage. Our government thinks of us as so stupid, that we will not figure this out and so arrogant as to believe that we will not do anything about it. What is so crazy about the entire deal is that the simplest thing to do to bring us out of these dire straits is to reduce federal spending. Period! Cut out the pork. Do away with the unnecessary entitlements. Welfare programs are draining this nation as more and more people jump on the gravy train. The government is spending more and more of our tax money actually paying people to NOT work. Thus, ensuring themselves a job forever and a large number of willing constituents, who do not want to lose their only source of income.

Last but not least, “I told you so!”

The Lemmings

Many years ago there was a wild life program on television that featured an odd little rodent with peculiar migration habits. They are very prolific creatures and at times their population seemingly explodes for one reason or another. Some of the film footage that was shown was unusual in that it depicted the creatures rushing along at a frantic pace following some instinct that has not been clearly defined. Of course the creatures are Lemmings. They are common in the Arctic Circle and range as far away as Norway

At some point their frenzied march came across a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. A cliff. However this did not deter them in their quest. They followed each other to their untimely demise one after another right over the edge. This is truly odd behavior. Some biologists called it mass suicide, while others say that the urge to march forward was so overwhelming, that it was just impossible for them to stop. What ever the reason they have gained their place in the animal kingdom as odd creatures for sure.

There are other creatures that parallel the little rodents and currently there are many of them that reside in Washington. They call themselves Congressmen. Our Congressmen. Lined up, one after another set to follow their leaders over the edge of that same insurmountable obstacle. Some will call it mass suicide. Political suicide but, none the less it is suicide. Their un-resistable urge? Health care reform. They must have it at all costs. Why? Change. Remember that word? It was thrown at us a year ago along with another word; hope. Hope and change but, what do they hope to change?

One sixth of this nations economy is up for grabs and in their desperate reach for the Holy Grail of the progressives, they are doing exactly what the Arctic Lemmings do on occasion. Following their leader over the cliff. The mid term elections are near and the result of passage of this bill, will bring upon them a devastating eviction from the offices that they currently occupy at the hands of the American voters, who have watched hope and change turn into the hopelessness of debt and government expansion on a scale unparalleled in the history of our nation.

All of the polls indicate an overwhelming majority of Americans are strongly opposed to this bill as it exists now or any of it for that matter but, our Congressmen are marching to the beat of a different drummer and have turned a deaf ear to the people that put them into their current positions. There have been marches on Washington, angry town hall meetings and Tea Party gatherings. Still, they march to the edge of the cliff. Drawn by some unseen power. What could that be?

Special deals, behind closed door agreements, arm twisting. Does the end justify the means? How did we get to this place that we are currently at? The offices in Congress used to stand for honor. The people of this great Republic were at one time, the voice of Washington. No longer is that the case. They are now our voice. They speak for us. Parliamentary procedure has been replaced by bribes and skulduggery. They have not even tried to conceal it from the public but, rather boast about it in front of us with full media coverage. The once great Halls of Congress have been reduced to the status of a corrupt house of ill repute.

The Lemmings are at the precipice and it seems that they are willing to drag this great country over the cliff with them. Currently our national debt tips the scales at an incredible $12.5 trillion dollars. This health care reform bill weighs in at an estimated $1.5 trillion. Our government has never successfully estimated a total cost on any bill that they have ever passed and yet they are confident of their projections and are trying to sell it to the public by any means necessary. With more Americans out of work now than at any recent time in our history, it seems illogical to try and pass such a large increase in spending and a complete take over of our medical system but, they press forward.

What will it take to prevent this catastrophe in the making? Who in Congress is listening? The Republicans have unilaterally drawn a line against this and yet they can not prevent it. If this bill does pass, we can only hope that the elections in November will bring in a wave of new conservative members with a backbone, willing to repeal this nasty piece of legislation before it destroys this country and put it to rest once and for all.

Ponzi Scam aka; Health Care Reform

Health Care. Health Care Over Haul. Health Care Reform. Health Care Over Haul Fraud.

Do you believe the concept?

Do you believe that this debate is even about reform?

It is a slick, packaged deal that has only one purpose. To destroy the foundation of this country. It is a Ponzi Scam. It goes by several names, but in the end, it is a scam in the form of a crisis. Remember Saul Alinsky? Change can only be made, in the shadow of a crisis. Well guess what. We are in a health care crisis. We were just in a mortgage crisis. A banking crisis. A H1N1 crisis. A climate change crisis. A auto manufacturing crisis. An economic crisis. This list of crisis’s is infinitesimal according to this administration. Rham Emanuel was quoted recently, “never waste a good crisis!” Where on earth do you think that he was coming from?

A correct analogy would be SNL’s skit from way back; Land Shark. Remember that? The knock at the door. The voice of the lady resident; Who is it? The answer from behind the door; candy gram! But I didn’t order any candy…(long pause)…pizza guy! But I didn’t order a pizza…(another long pause)…cable guy…Ohh yeah, I was having trouble with the cable, come on in! She opens the door and there in front of her is a guy in a shark costume who rushes in and eats her. She screams! Remember the white coats at the Doctors visit to the White House? I knew it was a fake even before the news hit the mainstream. Clearly a put on affair. A con.

What is even more incredulous is the fact that so many people actually buy into the notion that this debate is about health care reform. It is anything but. This administration could care less about your or my health or the ability to purchase insurance. Let alone how much you pay for it. This entire forum is about control.

What kind of control? For one; control of 1/6th of our economy. There is a tremendous amount of money and power up for grabs here. Do not be fooled. This administration wants it. They grabbed up the Banks, and the Auto Industry.

Secondly; taxes. If the single payer plan evolves and becomes law, you will be required to buy into it. The IRS will handle the collection of the money. It is nothing more than a hidden tax agenda. It will come out of our pocket. Somewhere around $3800.00 per person I believe. You do the math. Big savings…hunh? What a boon to bigger government! More of our money at their disposal. You know that they are very frugal with our money and wouldn’t put us further into debt, right?

The very constitutionality of this debate is precarious. A Government mandate requiring you to buy into this plan, clearly violates the 10th amendment to the US Constitution. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Plain and simple.

This administration has by-passed all of the parliamentary procedures to pass a bill that over 60% of the American people are opposed to. It will bankrupt us and is unsustainable. It takes away from the future of our country’s existence and will place so much debt on us, as be a National Security issue.

If any medical coverage will be available out of this, it will be similar to Medicaid. Which we already have. Medicare will be gutted to make room for the new plan, which as of now doesn’t even exist. This bill is ill conceived and dangerous to the American economy.

It is being forced through the house without a final vote. If our government can do this, how long will it be before we are it’s slaves?

Who Is In Charge?

The current political arena of the United States is abuzz with ideology’s from left, right, center and other areas, such as way left and way right. There is no end of political affiliations for the foreseeable future. The Tea Party is in the spotlight at the moment and it looks as if Conservatism is once again on the rise to the center of the political stage, even though it was pronounced DOA several years ago. Conservatism is truly the only way to make things work. Period. Regardless of any party affiliation.

An economy based on debt is unsustainable. End of story. Ahhhhh…but the story only gets better from here. Yes we are in debt. Up to our neck as far as I can tell. Once in the trillions of dollars, who is actually still counting? Apparently our government can spend as much as they deem necessary to accomplish their means. With all of the organized chaos in Washington, it begs me to ask a question. Who is really in charge?

The three branches of government, ostensibly; the Congress, Judicial and The Executive Office. Set up by our founding fathers, who in their wisdom, knew that power would eventually corrupt. They were right. It has. So who up there is in charge? Is it really the policies of Barrack Hussein Obama that are running the show? Is it the Congress?

If things go as they look like they are, we will see a reversal of voters, as they are now fed up with the current leadership. There will be a referendum against the policy makers that are seated in office. Will it make the least bit of difference? Really? Do you believe that by changing the people in the halls of Congress that you will turn this boat around? I believe that the problem is more deep rooted than just that.

Our Government has become a life entity of it’s own. A bulging at the seems, over stuffed and over bearing monster that has crept along and gotten so deeply embedded into our lives that there is no stopping it. We might slow the progress down somewhat. Can we really stop it? So again, I ask the question; who is really in charge? It seems to me that our lawmakers and executive branch and including the judicial branch are merely pawns in service of a hidden puppet master. Is it a single player? A power monger? A multi-national corporation? A foreign country trying to take over the entire world?

What with all of the conspiracy theories floating around such as; Pearl Harbor and FDR. Who was on the grassy knoll? The Gulf of Tonkin incident and now, the 911 conspiracy. Is what we have believed to be the truth for all of these years really the truth? What is the truth? Would you recognize it?

The world as we know it today, is currently at the most dangerous crossroads in our entire recorded history, of this dismal little planet we call Earth. More dangerous than the Roman Empire era, World War I or World War II era. Look at what all is happening around us at this exact moment in time.

The world is in economic decline.

Europe has united themselves into a Union and it appears that there is dissension in the ranks. Greece is on the verge of insolvency and is threatening to leave the Union. At great peril to their sovereignty it seems. The Union has threatened them, that they would not be allowed to just leave without punishment.

The radical Islamists are fast gaining ground in their world wide efforts of Holy Jihad and the free world is in their sights. All they need is access to a nuclear device and believe me, they will use it. Probably here.

Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons. Their recent accomplishment of putting a satellite into orbit, is but the first step towards having global nuclear power. It is relatively easy to put a warhead on top of a missile, that can put it into orbit and that challenge has already been met. The direction that they are headed in is very easy to see. A Muslim Nation with ICBM capabilities. Most notably; a rogue Muslim Nation.

World wide hunger is a factor that everybody seems to have forgotten about and the tyrannical dictators that are at the helm of those most impoverished nations. Look at the recent tragedy in Haiti. We have been sending billions of dollars to help prop up their country for many years now and it is still in no better shape than it was thirty years ago. Ethiopia, Somalia the list is getting longer day by day.

And then…there is China. Lurking, behind the scenes, like a tiger in the jungle, shadowing it’s prey. When will it pounce? It’s people are ready for a change. It has become one of the fastest growing economies on the planet. Industrialization has changed it’s very appearance and has created one of the largest Armies on the face of the Earth. It has cornered every market in its attempt to become the leading player in the world arena and it appears that no one is paying attention to their motives. They have bought up much of our debt and recently threatened to dump some of our bonds on the open market in an attempt to prevent an arms deal between the US and Taiwan. We blinked.

This happened once before in 1956 only, we pulled this very same trick on Britain, to stop them from escalating the Israeli-Egyptian war and Egypt’s attempt to nationalize the Suez Canal, which would have impacted England’s economy. We held their debt after WWII in which they were bankrupted and we threatened the very same thing to stop them. Which would have dragged us into the war, that was being backed by the Former Soviet Union.

Last but not least, the former Soviet Union is trying to regain it’s former glory. Vladamir Putin is fast setting himself up as Dictator. A former KGB agent who wants things back the way they were before the USSR broke apart.

The stage is set and the time is right for a power struggle. All of the indicators are there, no one is paying attention. We are at a moment in time very similar to the chain of events that dragged the world into WWII. The technology is greater now. Deadlier and more precise. Death and destruction now available at the push of a button. Only this time the stakes are higher. Millions can be killed by a single weapon.

Yes, we are at a crossroads. Unparalleled in our history. These are dangerous times and the future is uncertain. So, the question remains. Who is in charge? Is the New World Order at hand? Is the only way to end our world problems, to unite? To toss away our sovereignty? Who will be in power then?

I firmly believe that history will show, that the driving force behind all of these changes were in essence; our world banking institutions.

Crisis Mode

The past year in congress has been a very busy one. The rush to pass legislation based on the call; a crisis is looming. Everything was a crisis. The economy was in a crisis. The banking industry was in a crisis. Even the environment was in a crisis. Then there was the H1N1 crisis. The call sign for the new administration: CRISIS. There seemed to be no end to all the crisis’ that we were in all of a sudden and there seemed to be a lot of statistics to back it all up. Not to mention multiple speeches on the subject. This administration is all about…the crisis. It is amazing at the amount of attention that one can garner at the mere mention of the word; crisis.

The wrapper wasn’t even off of the new package, that was just voted in, and off we went! Hurry up and pass the stimulus! We are in a crisis! Sadly, I don’t recall the crisis being that significant, until the “C” word was uttered out loud. Our congressmen jumped on board the crisis train and never once bothered to glance back. They looked in utter amazement towards the public, because; we didn’t get it! And after many unapologetic speeches, that accused us of being everything from simple-minded to brown shirts, in the wake of the stimulus and now healthcare, the salesmanship kicked in. I recall several republicans commenting with remorse, on what they had just voted for, without fully understanding the consequence or for that matter even the simple act of actually reading the bill and its fine print! Nearly one trillion dollars, all with the stroke of a pen. Then on with the next crisis! It seemed to be the end of all things as we knew it!

I may act a bit crazy now and again but, I am not stupid! What do they take us for? Do you remember, all the Doctors that showed up on the Whitehouse lawn for that big rally in support of the healthcare fiasco? Mysteriously, they all seemed to be fashionably coördinated! What were the odds of all of them showing up with their white lab coats on? Astoundingly high, I would venture to say. Before the political commentary was even on the air, I remarked, ”who do they think they are kidding? What a hoax!” Then only to find out a day later that the Whitehouse staff, passed out the lab coats at the meeting. DUHH?! Did they actually believe that the majority of us couldn’t see right through that? That event epitomized; transparency. The Whitehouse actually believed that all of us are so incredibly dumb, that we would buy into that little dog and pony show! It took my breath away to feel so completely belittled, in that way!

Now that the elections in New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts are over and a clear message has been sent to those in DC wearing the clown suits. They still look at us with utter contempt! Over 1.3 million angry voters turned out on their front door step, back on 9-12, and they still could not figure out why we were so angry. Now who is being stupid? They are lost in some sort of alternate reality somewhere. They believe that ruining the economy of this great nation is what it is going to take to get us out of this crisis. They believe that they are our saviors and that only they can right all the wrongs that society has dealt us! How dare we stand up to them!

All of the back room deals and outright bribery, that was used to get the worst piece of legislation in the history of our pathetic leaders up on the hill, shed a brilliant light on what our system of government has mutated into. The members of congress should be ashamed of themselves for being so blind and so arrogant, to the will of the majority of Americans, that pay their salaries! Have they forgotten who put them there in the first place? Have they forgotten who they work for? What will it take for them to snap back to reality and realize what they are doing?

The liberals sit back and point their fingers across the aisle at the republicans who would not bow down to their demands for quick action, and have the audacity to say that they would sit by and do nothing while the crisis looms on!

They are correct in one respect; there is a crisis at hand. The fact that we are fast losing our rights and freedoms at the hands of a few arrogant politicians, that think that we need to be told what to do and how to do it, without voicing our opinions. This is what you would expect in a Marxist Society, not in the greatest democratic nation on the face of the earth. The one thing that this country is famous for, rising to the cause in the face of a crisis is coming. The elections are in November, that will spell the end of their pitiful attempt to change this country. Let all who are PATRIOTS, rise to the occasion and send a clear message to Washington. This behavior will no longer be tolerated and you sirs, are dismissed!!!!
