Minutiae</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
~The small, precise or trivial details of something~</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have witnessed, over the past year or so, among many friends
on social media, an explosion of outrage, angst, bloviation and most troubling,
outright rejection of every single Republican presidential candidate over the
most trivial of issues. The ideological
purity demanded by a large portion of the electorate for their pet issues is very
troubling and I fear will lead to another term with a mafia state Democrat
residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I sadly admit that I myself have participated in this
insanity, and have voiced my intention to either not vote or symbolically vote
for a non-viable candidate in a third party if my preferred guy does not claim
the Republican nomination. But lately it
has occurred to me that we may be cutting off our nose to spite our face with
this stubborn demand of ideological wholesomeness that seems to consume many of
us today.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The concerns are real, and I don’t mean to make them out to
be anything but, however I think we tend to be blind to the forest for the trees
on many of these issues. For instance,
why would someone refuse to support a Marco Rubio as a Republican nominee vs a
Hillary Clinton because he is not perceived to be tough enough on illegal
immigration? He would almost certainly be
better on the issue at the end of the day.
Or why would one reject the idea of pulling the lever for Ted Cruz were
he chosen by the GOP vs a Bernie Sanders? Because he is too extreme? Versus an admitted Socialist?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can anyone really believe that Rand Paul’s insistence that
sending troops into combat on some foreign battlefield requiring a declaration
of war from congress is more dangerous to our national security than a
president that emboldens those who seek to do us harm through support and arms
against some dictator that has kept the radicals at bay in his own country and
then works against those allies that are battling them? Why exactly is Jeb Bush a bigger threat to
your liberties than a party that believes you have no right to the tools of
self defense against, among other things, an oppressive and over reaching
federal government?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Granted, some folks have real problems with stands that certain
candidates have made on issues that the media has forced into our faces. I submit that we are letting the media guide
our thinking on these issues and losing sight of the big picture. What difference does a candidate’s stand on
the issue of a few pet civil liberty issues make when the alternative is a
candidate that would take away all civil liberties? Why refuse to support a candidate because you
don’t like their position on marijuana legalization and insure that we end up
with a president that will destroy the economy to the point that you couldn’t
afford marijuana if it was legal in your state? Yes,
these are important topics to be sure, but pale in comparison to the bigger
issues at play. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Supreme Court is also a very large consideration that
must come into play. With the advanced age
of some of the current justices, undoubtedly the next POTUS will be nominating
at least a few appointees to the high court.
I have heard many on the Libertarian side express concern that a
conservative president might make appointments that will be bad for civil
liberties in some cases. This very well
could be true but I would argue that the alternative could be much worse. There is no doubt that many cases of
government and executive over reach into the affairs of the private sector will
be coming before the court in the years ahead, especially after the presidency
of Barack Obama. And liberal justices
have shown that adherence to the strict constructionist view of the
constitution will not sway their leftist ideology in decisions. So while a constructionist court may trample
a few civil liberties, a liberal court could have a far more devastating effect
on the republic, the economy, and our civil liberties as they are not guided by
the restrictions placed on government by our constitution but rather by the
utopian goals of leftism. Is a cop
requiring a proper subpoena to search a car in Georgia a bigger issue than our
entire system of government and the restrictions of same transformed into a
liberal hegemony? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are in the midst of the primary campaign season, and I
understand us all having our preferred candidates and backing them through this
process all the way. That is as it
should be. But at the end of the day, we
must take our role as voters seriously and make a choice based on what is best
for the republic and future generations. We have an imperfect system, with any
candidate they will have some deficiencies as far as representing what is important
to us. I think however we should support
an eventual nominee if they recognize at least some restrictions on their
power. The current crop of Democrats,
emboldened by the latest of their party to occupy the post, will see no hindrance
to their tyrannical aims and we need to keep in mind what we could lose if we
let the wrong person be elected to the highest post in the land. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thomas Jefferson said in his first inaugural address:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I shall often go wrong through defect of judgment. When right, I shall often be thought wrong by those whose positions will not command a view of the whole ground. I ask your indulgence for my own errors, which will never be intentional, and your support against the errors of others, who may condemn what they would not if seen in all its parts.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course the elephant in the room may negate all of this lecturing on my part…….. But remember, I said Republican candidates, I don’t consider him a Republican. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Tonight we will have to endure another Obama State of the Union address before a joint session of congress. I had in mind to suggest a drinking game based on the Occupier in Chief’s lies and half truths but I’m afraid hospitals all over the country would be overwhelmed with cases of alcohol poisoning and liver failures. It did however give me the idea to go back and take another look at fibs in Scooter’s previous addresses to congress. I was dumbfounded as I read, to list all his whoppers would require a book, but let’s examine some of the highlights.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Remarks-of-President-Barack-Obama-Address-to-Joint-Session-of-Congress">In his first State of the Union address in 2009</a> we got these doozies. Speaking about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the precedent President stated:<br /><br /><i>“Over the next two years, this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs. More than 90% of these jobs will be in the private sector – jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges; constructing wind turbines and solar panels; laying broadband and expanding mass transit.”</i><br />In March of this past year, the Pravda of the Obama administration otherwise known as the <a href="http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/the-minimal-impact-of-the-stimulus/?src=busln">New York Times</a> had to admit that after all the spending from the ARRA, instead of saving or creating 3.5 million jobs, we lost an additional 2 million.<br /><br />He then talked about the dangers of growing the deficit, this was kind of like Rosie O’Donnell extolling the virtues of charm school.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>“There is, of course, another responsibility we have to our children. And that is the responsibility to ensure that we do not pass on to them a debt they cannot pay. With the deficit we inherited, the cost of the crisis we face, and the long-term challenges we must meet, it has never been more important to ensure that as our economy recovers, we do what it takes to bring this deficit down”.</i><br />This from the man who has added more debt to our children’s future serfdom than any past President.<br /><br /><i>“Yesterday, I held a fiscal summit where I pledged to cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term in office. My administration has also begun to go line by line through the federal budget in order to eliminate wasteful and ineffective programs. As you can imagine, this is a process that will take some time. But we’re starting with the biggest lines. We have already identified two trillion dollars in savings over the next decade.”</i><br /><br />I defy anyone, to find one single item other than the military that this President has asked to be cut.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-state-union-address">In 2010</a> the jug eared elocutionist really encouraged us to have a “willing suspension of disbelief” with these little myths.<br /><br /><i>“Starting in 2011, we are prepared to freeze government spending for three years. Spending related to our national security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will not be affected. But all other discretionary government programs will. Like any cash-strapped family, we will work within a budget to invest in what we need and sacrifice what we don't. And if I have to enforce this discipline by veto, I will.”</i><br /><br />Yes Virginia, he really said that. Of course he didn’t really believe it, and neither did we. But he wasn’t through yet with his proboscis growing statements. He then cut loose with this little gem on lobbyists. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>“That's what I came to Washington to do. That's why -– for the first time in history –- my administration posts on our White House visitors online. That's why we've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs, or seats on federal boards and commissions.”</i><br /><br />The fact is there are more unrecorded visitors to the White House these days than to a cheap New Orleans whore house. And they have a little work-around to the visitor logs anyway. <a href="http://www.tevitroy.org/9458/obama-semi-opaque-transparency">They just get together at the satellite offices</a> with the folks they don’t want us to know they are meeting with. This administration also has <a href="http://conservapedia.com/Lobbyists_ties_to_the_Obama_administration">plenty of lobbyists</a> on the payroll.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/01/25/remarks-president-state-union-address">Last year</a> Obama not only continued to grow the deficit, he also grew the “deficit of trust” of the American people. First he went back to his support of freezing spending.<br /><br /><i>“So tonight, I am proposing that starting this year, we freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years. Now, this would reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade, and will bring discretionary spending to the lowest share of our economy since Dwight Eisenhower was President.”</i><br /><br />Of course we know he has gone back and asked for debt ceiling increases twice since then. And then, he pushed another recycled lie.<br /><br /><i>“Because you deserve to know when your elected officials are meeting with lobbyists, I ask Congress to do what the White House has already done -- put that information online.”</i><br /><br />So we face another Obama State of the Union address this week, and there will no doubt be a plethora of lies and half truths spilled forth from the teleprompter during it. But in the interest of public safety, if you must play a drinking game based on these fables, make the shots small.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> So I noticed that Skippy took time out from another round of
golf in Hawaii to issue a <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/12/28/presidential-proclamation-national-stalking-awareness-month-2012">proclamation this week.</a> January 2012 is now officially National
Stalker Awareness Month. I would like to
personally take this opportunity to thank the jug eared Marxist in chief for
bringing this issue to the forefront.
You see, I, Johnny Alamo, am a victim of stalking.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0MkCPIRt2wdM73cMVNBgu4Ee5H6H94NJQ3_V2o5VG6JAhSufEcahkhEVX1fSPMErye84IGY9IsOa1USLjKEO8FgwLpT7PdLibXJ6kjapvE431As3y_I1QXDe5KSU1p-UXzQJfTRXbK24/s1600/fuck-you-stalker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0MkCPIRt2wdM73cMVNBgu4Ee5H6H94NJQ3_V2o5VG6JAhSufEcahkhEVX1fSPMErye84IGY9IsOa1USLjKEO8FgwLpT7PdLibXJ6kjapvE431As3y_I1QXDe5KSU1p-UXzQJfTRXbK24/s400/fuck-you-stalker.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I began to notice the stalking of my person back in the 70’s. This stalker was prying into my personal
information in a way that could only be construed as illegal. He knows where I live, and where I work. He demands that my boss relinquish personal
information about me and even that my employer send a portion of my wages to
him. He extorts this money at gunpoint
and gets away with it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiraYt3tEh0g_K2QZDRp5tqdChS4PuSE2uapu7COqDBs9N2jNA38HnNE3Dfd_A20BfsMT5S6GD6iDCdl1PBXBqdUqOS_2v6y6lWGlhrViQQJozTn6ulmbbRHRSCdBWdNjS-OWv8qQhUBr8/s1600/USam_highwayman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiraYt3tEh0g_K2QZDRp5tqdChS4PuSE2uapu7COqDBs9N2jNA38HnNE3Dfd_A20BfsMT5S6GD6iDCdl1PBXBqdUqOS_2v6y6lWGlhrViQQJozTn6ulmbbRHRSCdBWdNjS-OWv8qQhUBr8/s320/USam_highwayman.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> He knows what kind of vehicle I drive, where I bought it,
and what county it is in. He has
demanded that I contribute money to car companies that only employ workers that
he approves of and build cars that nobody wants to buy. He has also forced me to give money to failed
financial institutions to prop them up for making bad business decisions that
he has forced them to make. And then he
strong arms me to give money to people that won’t work for a living so that
they can have the same or a better level of comfort in life than I have.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR_5LfG-1z1wnO_FNSEhnyBP6399HHDDEqbGtINxjq5A5XhV0BYIlLrQTDNJNZXMi45sYwfZiMQkkWaSNnXiguVY0OdpkZ6PuflkC5A2QF-FaN70EgEj6DegtQWCunrokfHVje3xQalC8/s1600/Welfare3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR_5LfG-1z1wnO_FNSEhnyBP6399HHDDEqbGtINxjq5A5XhV0BYIlLrQTDNJNZXMi45sYwfZiMQkkWaSNnXiguVY0OdpkZ6PuflkC5A2QF-FaN70EgEj6DegtQWCunrokfHVje3xQalC8/s320/Welfare3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> He knows what weapons I purchase for protection, where I buy
them from and is attempting to prevent me from buying more. He also tells me which weapons I can buy and
which ones I can’t. At the same time he compels
me to buy weapons for drug cartels in Mexico so they can kill our border agents
with them.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> He knows if I have health insurance or not and can make me
purchase it even if I don’t want to. He
is attempting to gain access to all my medical records as well. He will also determine what health care procedures
I can have and which ones I can’t. And
if I get too old he will determine that I am not worth many life saving procedures
any longer.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7WN655dLPYYlqmMNbzYKm5iFvuH37e6txlzg8YLUVg7EEdSDIMpWrdhMoiMJh8cnhOEP5K1kP4xtnUsOSPRt4R1ba-zToTVDsDHU1yMtAPBGdNwunuU9ukvxm6IjodUXAeOoIjBdGUlE/s1600/death-panels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7WN655dLPYYlqmMNbzYKm5iFvuH37e6txlzg8YLUVg7EEdSDIMpWrdhMoiMJh8cnhOEP5K1kP4xtnUsOSPRt4R1ba-zToTVDsDHU1yMtAPBGdNwunuU9ukvxm6IjodUXAeOoIjBdGUlE/s400/death-panels.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> He increasingly knows my whereabouts at all times and knows
where I travel to and when. He also has
sexually accosted me in airports and invaded my privacy in numerous ways when I
travel. He even has machines that will
take nude photographs of me and does not allow me to see them or know what he
does with them.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVYTjCTmjnbVKlQ3DW8zValKnSL_Z3Pmiy52vCDPAwuJRJJEyCmgU5i3dKc9MvEqBPtS8MiyvhgC_6gzY19oJVdVKuOr2kCHuRVTa9kkucQDeaVp6tYzMO0CKhAiTeqdu3-wpKesJgbcA/s1600/sscan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVYTjCTmjnbVKlQ3DW8zValKnSL_Z3Pmiy52vCDPAwuJRJJEyCmgU5i3dKc9MvEqBPtS8MiyvhgC_6gzY19oJVdVKuOr2kCHuRVTa9kkucQDeaVp6tYzMO0CKhAiTeqdu3-wpKesJgbcA/s400/sscan.jpg" width="160" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This stalker even is trying to tell me what I can feed my
family and myself. He forces the food
establishments that I frequent and companies that I purchase packaged food
products from to limit my choices to what he deems healthy and suitable for my
ingestion.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfsdqYEph2Uw_vEmSWanlnGq5n4Z4uO_xndlhyphenhyphenKSlK1NUpmcT4luqwVKvhHuR0ArQTMqZ8WDKnNwoe8RHnMawKhNQaEjKUpanVrgRMbmrIx1Zy_vc7y51Jo51N8XjknmLfJAzss80ch5g/s1600/Michelle-Obama-eat-healthy-thumb-400xauto-12644.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfsdqYEph2Uw_vEmSWanlnGq5n4Z4uO_xndlhyphenhyphenKSlK1NUpmcT4luqwVKvhHuR0ArQTMqZ8WDKnNwoe8RHnMawKhNQaEjKUpanVrgRMbmrIx1Zy_vc7y51Jo51N8XjknmLfJAzss80ch5g/s320/Michelle-Obama-eat-healthy-thumb-400xauto-12644.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> If I buy a piece of land, he tells me what I can and can’t
do with it, if I start a business he tells me what I can and can’t sell and
even tells me what I can charge for it.
If I want to move my business to another state that is more friendly to
the environment we operate in , he tells me I can’t. If I hire employees he tells me how much they
will make, what benefits I will provide and that I can’t fire them if I want
to.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqQvXkV0ZhPrGxXFX7PSg-yb2Jsbppl6BnnMfJ68_BAobNI8akIIUk2Wfgcz8-T87rzntMbtezrG6nG17j7LI0jyLRASwdkRyH0B85RCILnN7S8Zco6-QJKWSLjlH07Hz2obgyz1RH4sU/s1600/nlrb-union-yes-logo-550x425.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqQvXkV0ZhPrGxXFX7PSg-yb2Jsbppl6BnnMfJ68_BAobNI8akIIUk2Wfgcz8-T87rzntMbtezrG6nG17j7LI0jyLRASwdkRyH0B85RCILnN7S8Zco6-QJKWSLjlH07Hz2obgyz1RH4sU/s400/nlrb-union-yes-logo-550x425.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> In short, this stalker has intruded into every aspect of my
life in one way or another. In fact, I
could charge him of many more crimes than stalking. So how could any court of public opinion
condemn me for protecting myself from this monster? If I could only find a law enforcement agency
or court to file a complaint with that this stalker does not already control with his
money, influence and intimidation like Don Corleone. I could tell them where to find him…………</span> </div>

thoughts on foreign issues are not much more coherent when he is wide

domestic policy but unfortunately that is only half the job. I happen to think that principle can get you

enamored with the idea of a Washington outsider coming in and shaking things
up. And to a certain extent the candidacy
of Cain and Bachmann and the potential candidacy of Sarah Palin has done just that. The conversation has moved decidedly to the
right this year. Mitt, Newt and the rest
of the pack have had to take up a more conservative stance on issues than we
talked about in 2008. I give Cain and
his early successes part of the credit for that. But now we must move on and select who we
want to back next. I continue to adopt
an “anyone but Romney” approach to this primary season. And in spite of his occasional transgressions
on some issues in the past I now hang my hat on Newt Gingrich. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> The reasons for my decision to endorse Newt are
numerous. For all his faults (and he has
several) he still is probably most conservative “viable” candidate left to
oppose the Ken doll. Santorum is a
really staunch conservative but is not really likable. From what I understand he is not particularly
liked even in his home state of Pennsylvania, and he always has that perpetual
pissed off look on his face. While I do
too concerning American politics over the past several years, it does not help
you to become President.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> The upside of Newt is that he is definitely the “smartest
guy in the room” and will devastate the Socialist and Chief in any debate. In fact if Newt gets the nomination, I expect
that the Obama camp will refuse to debate.
<a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/newt-gingrich-brawls-with-fox-news-chris-wallace-over-debate-gotcha-question/">Newt is also very good at handling, disarming and eviscerating a hostile press.</a> His press conferences would
become a spectator sport kinda like watching Christians being eaten by lions. (Of course I don’t mean to compare the media
to Christians here) Newt also
understands exactly what is required for this country to flourish. He is a free market principle guy for the
most part and understands the Constitution and what it really means better than
any of the so-called constitutional scholars you hear on the alphabet networks. He has a past, and that will get dredged
up. (If only the media spent half the time
researching Obama’s past as they have on any of the Republican candidates.) But that is a storm he will have to
weather. I think he is uniquely
qualified to handle those storms unless they find out he murdered his children
or something. Of course knowing the left
and the press I am sure they will accuse him of that anyway once it starts
looking like he might win. And by left I
also mean the Romney camp of course.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> At the end of the day, whoever the nominee is, (even Romney)
we must get behind that candidate and support them like they were our own kin. This country cannot survive four more years of
Barack Hussein Obama, especially if he does not have to worry about
re-election.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ever heard the one about the wife that comes home, arms full
of shopping bags and says to her husband, “Boy I saved you a bunch of money
today”? I figure she must work for the
Congressional Budget Office because that is exactly the load of bull pucks they
are trying to sell us now. We hear a lot
of talk from the shysters in DC about cuts.
And the super committee being deadlocked between the Republicans that
want “<i>cuts” and</i> the democrats that
want tax increases because the “<i>cuts</i>”
would be too painful and the rivers would stop flowing, the sky would fall and
the sun would go supernova. The plain
and simple truth is there are no cuts, never was and probably never will be. Both sides are lying to you about that.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The reason they get away with these lies is that they
changed the meaning of the word “cuts”. They
did this by using a little tool they developed called <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-a-budget/195099-there-are-no-cuts-the-fallacy-of-baseline-budgeting">“Baseline Budgeting”</a>. The way it works is that
increases due to predicted inflation rates and government service expansions
(that’s a fancy way of saying hiring more people) are automatically figured
into the next year’s budget. On average, the Congressional Budget Office increases
spending projections each year by about 20%.
Then, if we only spend 19% more the next year, YAHOO! We cut 1%!!!!!!!! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The fact is, that if we froze all government spending right
now, spent the same amount next year as we did this year and so on and so on
for the next ten years, the CBO would call that a 9 trillion dollar cut! As I
said before, both sides are lying to you about this. Republicans are telling you they are slashing
budgets…… LIE! They are only slashing the automatic increase
that will happen, spending will still go up.
Democrats tell you they will have to cut programs for vital services
like Medicare to make reductions…….
LIE! Medicare, Medicaid, Defense,
EPA, Energy, Education and the rest of the plethora of government programs
won’t get cut one red cent, only the extra money they were planning on getting
their grubby mitts on next year will be less.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The fatal flaw that should be screaming out to all of us,
(or at least all of us that are not smoking dope in a tent at Zucotti park or
eating steak and arugula in the oval office) is that this method of budgeting
does not take into consideration projected revenue at all. You see, congress really does not care how
much money it will take in while figuring out the next year’s budget, only what
they want to spend. Everything is
figured based on that. If they don’t
come up with enough revenue there are only two choices as far as they are
concerned. Raise taxes or deficit spend,
it doesn’t even compute in their little pea brains to cut back on the size and
scope of the federal government.</span></div>

mess we are in and actually reduce our debt.
While it is vitally important to get the Community Organizer in Chief
out of the White House, of even more importance is replacing those men and
women in congress on both sides of the isle with citizens that are committed to
a smaller federal government. We may not get there this election or next,
the best we may be able to accomplish is to stop or slow the bleeding of this
once great nation this coming November.
But let us not grow complacent and satisfied at that point. Our problems as a nation are much deeper than
that. It is going to require us to be
committed, engaged, active and resolute in our mission to rid Washington DC of professional
politicians and replace them with patriots who desire to serve. Our forefathers were committed to sacrifice
everything to build this republic. Are you committed to preserving it?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This past week I visited the windy city because I really
enjoy freezing my buns off in a liberal bastion that produces characters like
Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel. While
waiting for some friends in a hotel bar I got the opportunity to watch the ABC
World News with Diane Sawyer on the big screen TV behind the bar. Now normally I would chew off my own right
arm to escape such a situation, but I had already bought a Jack and Coke and it
would be a mortal sin to waste it. And far be it from me to upset the ghost of
Jasper Newton Daniel. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As I watched the entire “news” program from beginning to end
I was struck by the lack of coverage on the Occupy Wall Street movement. In fact the only thing good old Diane brought
up about the issue was a photo of an elderly (and obviously off her meds
deranged) 84 year old woman that had just been pepper sprayed stating that she

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now, since I normally get my information from the few actual
news sources and real journalists out there, I knew there was a lot of other
news that day on the dirty smelly entitlement hippie movement. Like for instance the <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/alleged-occupy-protester-caught-pooping-on-seattle-sidewalk/">sidewalk pooping</a>. Or the <a href="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/15/updates-on-the-clearing-of-zuccotti-park/?scp=1&sq=bloomberg%20statement&st=cse">hypodermic needles</a> found by the bushel

Or perhaps that the occupiers were <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/zuccotti-park-cleared-occupy-wall-street_n_1094313.html#2162_bloomberg-attorneys-claim-ows-stockpiling-bombs">stockpiling weapons</a> there. </span></div>

to tell the American people about threats to throw <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/occupier-delivers-chilling-threat-you-going-to-see-what-a-molotov-cocktail-can-do-to-macys/">Molotov Cocktails </a>through
the windows at Macy’s. And of course it
would just be irresponsible to report that the OWS movement is allied with a
<a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/content/blog/stu/occupy-wall-st-honors-communist-terrorist-group-with-new-protest/">Greek Communist Terror Group</a>. And I am
sure the voters wouldn’t want to know about their <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/maxine-waters-deaths-and-crimes-occupy-protests-s-life-and-it-happens">representative excusing the deaths and rapes </a>that have occurred at the OWS camps. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">All of these stories and many, many more were broken over a
two day period prior to Ms. Sawyers broadcast that I was so honored to
watch. And I am sure the same “non-coverage”
took place on NBC, CBS, MSNBC and of course CNN. We did however get several minutes of coverage on Herman Cain hesitating before answering a question, and Newt Gingrich's divorces. So, I have one conclusion for you. If you have watched any of these networks
for your source of news you are ill-informed. If
you continue to watch them, you are an idiot.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I find it curious that in this past year, all potential
candidates for the Republican nomination for President are measured against one
other candidate, Mitt Romney. There are
a few reasons I can think of for the talking heads to want to use this 12 inch
ruler to measure a Saturn 5 rocket. Not
the least of which is their desire to make sure that if a Republican does kick
their beloved Kenyan prince out of the White House in 2012, it will at least be
the Republican that will do the least damage to their left wing agenda. This is the same reason they tried (successfully)
to convince us of how awesome the Mavericky one was in 2008 (until he got the
nomination that is). But I don’t think it will work this time around, because
Mitt is stuck at 20% support and I believe that is about as high as he will ever
get. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)_presidential_primaries,_2008">In 2008 Romney never commanded more than the mid 20% range in polling</a>, and ended up with just 22.1% of the national primary vote. We know him better now. I believe there is a core group of squishy
country club Republicans that will always provide that 20% support that Romney
enjoys. <i>“You know Lovey, we just must make sure that those
bourgeois Yale types don’t take over our party”</i> <a href="http://www.redstate.com/erick/files/2011/10/FLIPFLOPS.pdf">But Mitt’s problem is we remember what he stood for in 1996, in 1998, in 2000, in 2004, in 2008 and what he stands for now.</a> Only Rich Little can bring more personalities
to a party than our buddy Mittens. And
this is why we must make sure he does not get the nomination and become our
candidate. The man has no principle. He will get on whatever side of an issue he
thinks will do him the most good politically.
If we want that in a leader we should draft Billy Jeff Clinton to come
back to the job, at least he was somewhat entertaining.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of course these same folks (and some so-called conservative
pundits) also tell us that Mittens is the only one that can beat Obama. Anyone with half a brain and just a little
political savvy knows that is pure bull excrement. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Romney is the candidate most likely to lose
against Obama in a general election. In
debates for example, with just a little research on the Obama team’s part, they
will be able to counter any criticism Romney has for Sparky with an example of
<a href="http://www.redstate.com/erick/files/2011/10/FLIPFLOPS.pdf">old Mitt supporting the very same idea in the past. </a></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The 20 percenters are fond of telling us how these cursed
Tea Party type candidates are raising the poor unwashed idiot voter’s
expectations too high with their fairy tales about free markets and
constitutional values and will cause disenfranchisement among a big section of
the base when Mittens surely, naturally wins the nomination. Well, they may be right about that. But the disenfranchisement will be because of
the weakness of their candidate, not the principle of others. I don’t even understand this argument. Are we supposed to ignore our values and not
vote for our candidate of choice in the primary because we might be excited to
go out and vote on Election Day?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That’s right sports fans, one year from today we have the opportunity
to fix a lot of ills in this country. The
question is, will we do it? As we get
closer to the magical date that we get to tell the Communist in Chief to take a
hike, I am becoming even more aware of how critical his eviction is. I am convinced that he and his minions
represent a larger threat to America than we have ever before faced. And it has become more than obvious that his
true goals are to destroy our economy, our health care system, our military and
our freedoms in an effort to make his vision of a socialist utopia feasible. He has already shown that he has no problem
doing an end around the constitution and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0UTz4Q_APU&feature=share">implement laws by executive order</a>, the
concern now is how many more republic destroying orders will he issue as his
expulsion becomes clear? He knows that
the democrat controlled Senate and that worm of a Speaker of the House will do
nothing to contain him. Whoever occupies
that oblong office after him had better make his or her first order of business
resending every single executive order Obama issued during his tenure. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last night I had the opportunity to watch two potential new
residents for 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in a non-debate debate. Hosted by the Texas Tea Party PAC, Newt
Gingrich and Herman Cain spent about two hours discussing ways to fix the mess
we find ourselves in. I have to admit, I
would be happy with either of them replacing the COOTUS (community organizer of
the United States). In fact the two of
them on a ticket together would be awesome.
Cain brings common sense values and outside the beltway solutions that
are desperately needed right now to turn this country around. And Newt is obviously the “smartest guy in
the room” who believes in market driven solutions and getting government out of
the way of business. While both have
some issues, either of them would be a far cry better than the leftist race pimping jackass
that we currently have.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Both men issued several good ideas about how to fix the
budget, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security and most of those ideas appealed
to my libertarian leanings. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gingrich suggested a way to save a trillion dollars with one
simple free market solution.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>“I just put on the table trillions of dollars that would be
saved by not paying crooks. Why is it so
hard to not penalize good people before you stop paying crooks? You can take existing IBM technology and use
it to stop paying crooks in Medicare.
You can turn this around and pass a bill to contract out to American Express,
Visa and IBM to handle Medicare payments and in 60 days you would save a
trillion dollars.”</i> </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He pointed out that
American Express has a fraud rate of 0.03% and the Federal Medicare system has
a fraud rate of 10%. Just another example
of what a complete and utter failure the Federal government is at just about
anything.</span></div>

Eh, Not So Much.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So I hear that our old buddy Joe Biden, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/biden-wall-street-protesters-lot-common-tea-party-174258972.html">in a stunning moment of lucidity Thursday</a>, woke up from his coma and compared the Occupy Wall Street
protests to the Tea Party protests, proving that he understands neither. The
left is so desperate to have a Tea Party movement of their own, that they will
tie themselves to just about anything these days. Our old buddy Van Jones (remember him? The communist Green Jobs Czar) <a href="http://blog.nj.com/njv_tom_moran/2011/10/van_jones_to_liberals_make_lik.html">even gave a speech on the subject the other day. </a>I
think the left will live to regret that alliance.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In spite of the media’s collusion in this <a href="http://bigjournalism.com/jdunetz/2011/10/05/new-spin-media-claims-occupy-wall-street-a-left-wing-tea-party/">misinformation campaign</a>
about the #occupy wall street crowd and their similarity to the Tea Party, the American
people are getting wise to these games.
And the dirty smelly hippies on Wall Street are not helping the cause at
all. As with most mobs, anarchy reigns
supreme with that bunch and lawlessness ensues.

believe in the constitution, in fiscal responsibility, in common sense foreign
policy and that our elected officials should actually honor their oaths of
office.” “They are your Grandmas and
Grandpas, your Vietnam veteran uncle, your church going Mom and Dad, your
cousin who just got back from a tour in Afghanistan and your preacher. They are the history teacher you always
liked, the owner of the corner market, and the guy who owns the gas station
down the road. They are the farmer, the
local pediatrician and the nurse that works in his office. They are the firefighter, the policeman and
the ambulance driver. In short they are
America. And they represent everything
that made America what it is today. They
are the folks that make this country and this economic engine work. They are not, as MSNBC or CNN would have you
believe “Astroturf” bought and paid for by greedy capitalists to throw the
proverbial monkey wrench into the gears of “Hope and Change”. They are not as NBC, ABC and CBS claim, white
hood wearing fanatics who oppose Barack Obama because of their seething racism.
They are patriots, that believe in
American exceptionalism, the rule of law and that they are blessed to have been
born or immigrated to the greatest country in the history of the world.”</i></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now let’s examine what makes up the average #occupy wall

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Average age about 25.
With a very strong sense of entitlement, they went to school (mostly on
the taxpayers dime since tuition only makes up about 10% of most college
revenue) and got a degree in minority women’s studies and can’t figure out why
in the world nobody wants to pay them a six figure salary for that kind of
background. Mom and Dad have given them
everything except an understanding of where all that money came from and what
it takes to acquire it. They can’t tell
you what it really takes to create a job, (much like most of the democrats on
capital hill) but can give you a dissertation on corporate greed and blood
diamonds. They have never held a job of
any kind and would be happy to continue that trend for the rest of their days
blaming all their woes on Wall Street and demanding that they be paid to sit on
their keester for the rest of their lives and occasionally come out to berate
the folks that pay for it all and tell us how evil we are. They expect the 10% of the cost of their
education that they financed be paid by us along with 90% we already did. They seem to be some type of feline I deduce
based on their obvious aversion to soap and water. And they have zero respect for authority, experience,
the rule of law, religion or their elders.
In short they are spoiled brats that should have gotten more ass
beatings than time outs during their formative years. In a way I feel sorry for them because
someday the reality of life is going to slap them up aside the head and they
will of course be the first to perish.
But I guess that kinda proves one part of Darwin’s theory.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Well Fox news and Google paired up to give us another Republican debate last night. I’m told that sales of whips and chains fell drastically on Thursday because S&M perverts figured out that a better form of torture was on Fox News. Why is it that in the run up to what is arguably the most important presidential election in our history, after all the town hall activity, outrage at Washington’s disregard of the will of the people, Tea Party protests, unconstitutional intrusions into our lives by an out of control federal government and a President that is an obvious Marxist or more probably a Stalinist, we can’t seem to come up with a field of candidates for the Republican nomination that are inspirational? Oh some have a little excitement potential, (see Herman Cain) but none are real standouts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Rick Perry continues to <a href="http://jeffersoinisanfantasies.blogspot.com/2011/06/case-against-rick-perry_25.html">prove me right</a> as watching him in a debate is like observing Forrest Gump discuss quantum physics with Albert Einstein. The look on his face is painful to watch as his wooden gears up there grind and smoke as you picture a thought bubble above his head with “thinkin is purty hard” written in it. I would say he is an embarrassment to the state of Texas if that slot had not already been filled by Sheila Jackson Lee and another contender for the Republican nom named Ron Paul. At one point Perry sputtered out a string of unintelligible verbiage that had the audience thinking “Wow, I didn’t know he spoke fluent Klingon”. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of course Mittens continues to inspire me…………… to stick my head in the oven. While Romney has learned how to at least answer most of the questions correctly, <a href="http://archive.redstate.com/stories/the_parties/republicans/mitt_romney_lies_about_abortion">past statements</a> make you wonder how sincere those answers are. He looks good, but that is what drew people to Barry Obama, I expect a little substance from our candidate. And am I the only one that looks at Romney and gets a mental picture of Joe Isuzu? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Michelle Bachmann, I can’t say anything mean about the lady. Not for southern chivalrous reasons because IMHO if a woman gets into politics she should suffer the same slings and arrows as a man. I am not going to give you a pass just because you look good in a pair of pumps. I mean, really, I don’t cut Ron Paul any slack for that. No, I think Mrs. Bachmann is on the right side of every issue and I have no doubts about her sincerity. I just don’t think she is quite smart enough for the top job. And she has a habit of putting herself in hot water over spur of the moment comments. As the Republican nominee the media microscope will amplify all those little goofs like a Fender amp trying to make her look like a loony tune. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Probably my favorite out of the current crop of contenders is Herman Cain. And unlike all those independent voters in 2008 I don’t like him for the color of his skin, I like him for the content of his character. I agree with him on most issues and am a big fan of his<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1459719233"> 9,9,9 plan.</a><a href="http://www.hermancain.com/"> </a> However he does not stand a chance because the media ignores him more than Ron Paul. He just can’t get the coverage from them mostly because the left wing media gets the vapors thinking about the GOP running a real black man against their half black messiah.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.baynews9.com/static/articles/images/HERMAN-CAIN.jpg" /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Newt is impossible for me to figure out. The man knows history, understands all the things that are destroying our republic, has a common sense response to almost all issues when ask, but has continually used poor judgment in the past on <a href="http://www.fox8.com/news/wjw-news-newt-gingrich-infidelity,0,539611.story">personal</a> and <a href="http://newhampshireprimary.blogspot.com/2011/07/newt-gingrich-nancy-pelosi-global.html">political </a>issues. I like him, always have. But don’t trust him any further than I can throw him. I think he was a good Republican once, but Nancy Pelosi hopped off her broom and turned him into a Slimy Newt.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Santorum I just don’t know enough about. And based on the way he was ignored last night I doubt I ever will.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Huntsman, Johnson and Paul I won’t even dignify with comment other than they should get out of the race now. I am tired of the background noise. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, while we have a pretty large field right now, there are some major holes in it. I don’t know how we can fill those and come up with a good candidate, you know, someone that will drive passion into the race, somebody that will shake things up, somebody that the left is really scared of, someone who will excite the base………. No Idea………. Drawing a blank……… Nope nothing…….</span><br />

I know, we have all heard it ad-nauseam. So desperate are some to coax the all-so-important independents to our side in an election that they figuratively and literally will sell their souls to do it. Every time we on the right talk about a candidate or a position this subject seems to rear its ugly head. The result is that we end up settling for a candidate that is a squish at best and a moderate democrat in all but name at worst. (see John McCain) Or a party platform that is as weak kneed as Pee Wee Herman in a cage match with The Rock.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><img height="400" src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1232816440343&id=6525ede2a71d3b438dabbdfe50c9b0fb&url=http%3a%2f%2flaughingsquid.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2fpee-wee-herman-20090810-174119.jpg" width="385" /></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The puzzling part of this philosophy is that there is very little if any historical data to back its effectiveness. In fact quite the opposite is true. Ronald Reagan ran as a staunch conservative, the likes of which had not been seen in this country since Barry Goldwater. He won in a landslide with 489 to 49 electoral votes over Jimmy Carter. The margin was 50.7% to Carter’s 41.0% and that was with an Independent candidate in the race named John B. Anderson who only garnered 6.6%. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I guess about 34% out of the 40% Independents in this country weren’t so hot on their own guy there. Hmmmm……</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMmn5Wd4CmRO1JgJShabe1cUxrng4XtTLEMH5BTyQzqmm3isoTGUD6GFnDHmRmrWwN0OEjswhtqU8-wwokZu8yeipfQv0_DTf8298V00Hmrkw1y9ZPJPpnzjO9vSLVq7ahc-CPtLsBoQ4/s640/RonaldReagan1964.jpg" width="412" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In his re-election after his first term in which he took the unprecedented step of actually doing much of what he promised during his campaign, and proving that he was, in fact, a “gasp” principled conservative, he won by an even larger margin against Walter Mondale. In that election he won every state in the union except Minnesota which was Mondale’s home state. That’s right, even the bluest of blue states like Massachusetts and Hawaii voted for this president’s real version of hope and change.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Riding on his coattails in 1988 his vice president George Herbert Walker Bush was elected to the top job. Bush’s first two years were spectacular and led into the first Gulf War. The first time since Vietnam that this country had sent large numbers of troops into a conflict. And the military under proper leadership, performed brilliantly in the most overwhelming victory between armed combatants the world had ever seen. Bush’s popularity soared, eclipsing even his predecessor the great Ronaldus Magnus. During the campaign for his first term Bush famously made the statement “Read my lips, No New Taxes!” But in a response to the democrats desperate attempt at creating an issue to beat him over the head with, Bush decided to renege on that earlier promise in a “by-partisan” attempt to address the federal debt. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:USDebt.png">A debt by the way that was a whopping 3.2 trillion dollars vs the 14+ trillion the democrats don’t seem too concerned about today</a>) The result of this squishy reversal of principle by Bush was the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gallup_Poll-Approval_Rating-George_H_W_Bush.png">fastest tumble in popularity ever seen in this country. </a> Bush’s approval rating tumbled from near 90% at the end of the Gulf War to the low 30’s. Enter Billy Jeff and eight years of the oval office resembling a Hooters restaurant more than the seat of power.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> <img height="347" src="http://www.politifake.org/image/political/0912/george-hw-bush-president-taxes-bush-conservative-political-poster-1260489616.gif" width="400" /></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">George Bush Jr. ran for the office in 2000, promising not a more conservative stance than the standard, but a new brand designed by Karl Rove to appeal to independents called “Compassionate Conservatism” which was about as conservative as Rosie O’Donnell is another June Clever. (although I do understand that she is worried about the beaver, but I digress.) Bush the younger’s opponent was a real brain surgeon, the vice president under Bill Clinton, Al Gore. <a href="http://www.mediaresearch.org/VideoBias/gore/welcome.asp">The guy who stated that he had invented the internet, walked into Monticello with Bubba Clinton during a pre-inaugural visit and while looking at busts of George Washington, Ben Franklin and the Marquis de Lafayette asked “And who are these people”.</a> Even democrats disliked the guy, but because he was the vice presidential incumbent, he got the nomination. Bush should have beaten him by a landslide; instead “compassionate conservatism” won the day in the closest election in the country’s history. </span></div><img height="298" src="http://terryfrank.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/gore.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Four years later the democrats fielded another gem of a candidate. The most liberal member of the Senate, John (<i>Lurch</i>) Kerry. The guy was a walking punch line. The volumes of material on this idiot was amazing, and even Bert or Ernie could have spanked him in an election. Yet Bush barely eeked out another victory. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img height="640" src="http://aftermathnews.files.wordpress.com/2006/07/bush-thumbs-up.jpg?w=279&h=345" width="516" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Enter the 2008 election season. Send the kids, heart patients and pregnant women out of the room, this one is scary. The democrats ran a blank slate, while there was appeal in the first black (or half black) man to gain the nomination of one of the two major parties, the lack of executive experience on this guy was astounding. My pet collie has more credentials for office than Barack Hussein Obama did. And the republicans put up a guy that made George Bush seem like Mark Levin. John McCain was a war hero and no doubt a patriot. But his policies ran right down the middle of the political spectrum. That combined with his decision not to attack Obama on his record (or lack thereof), caused the crisis this nation finds itself faced with now.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img height="640" src="http://inyourface.ocregister.com/files/2008/08/john-mccain-073008.jpg" width="470" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">On the other hand, witness the special election in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_9th_congressional_district">New York’s 9<sup>th</sup> congressional district</a> to replace Anthony (<i>insert joke of choice here</i>) Weiner. A heavily Jewish district that has elected democrats to that seat for the past 88 years, this is the same seat that was once held by none other than Schmucky Shumer. Geraldine Ferraro also held this seat, so this is not exactly a conservative bastion. The democrats ran a Jewish member of the New York State Assembly named David Weprin for the seat. The republicans ran a very conservative Roman Catholic fellow with no real political background by the name of Bob Turner. This should have been a slam dunk for the democrat, there were even 1000 democrat operatives hauling voters to the polls. Turner had the audacity to run for public office in this very democratic district on a platform that was loudly anti-abortion, he called for the abolishment of the EPA, and to cut funding for the Department of Education in half. Why this Nazi even wants to eliminate the capital gains tax and end all government subsidies. He must be a racist. I bet he even eats babies for breakfast…… So after the democrat kicked his butt …………. WHAT?........ HE WON????? How can that be??????? Perhaps, just perhaps, a strong, unapologetic, conservative stance on issues can win. Even in a heavily left of center area of the country. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> <img height="545" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uNZ18imInV8/S8nCSVg9hII/AAAAAAAAB1M/8_XBCaKS0os/s640/shocked_woman.jpg" width="640" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We have always argued that we win in the arena of ideas. If the debate is honest and the conservative view is direct and does not allow the Alinsky machine in the press to set the narrative or label them, we will win every time. In the past few decades when the democrats or the press level an unfair attack on conservatives they have ducked their head and slinked off to their corner. Ronald Reagan refused to allow them to label him. He got in their face, showed character and principle and espoused conservative values proudly proclaiming their benefits from the treetops.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> <img src="http://npaphistory.wikispaces.com/file/view/Ronald_Reagan.jpg/107877751/Ronald_Reagan.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We should all keep these things in mind while considering our next presidential candidate. Otherwise we may well slide over the cliff toward becoming a third world nation. </span></div><br />

Debs, leader of the American Railway Union, led a nationwide strike against the Pullman Palace Car Company in 1894.<span> </span>Debs was a democrat at the time but later joined the American Socialist Party (hmmmm) and ran for president several times.<span> </span>He instructed his members to refuse to hook up or handle Pullman cars nationwide and 125,000 railroad workers did just that.<span> </span>Since Pullman cars made up a large part of the railroad fleet at the time, virtually every single railroad in the country ground to a halt.<span> </span>Finally since the strike interfered with the delivery of the US mail, president Grover Cleveland sent in federal marshals and 12,000 troops to break up the strike.<span> </span>Of course violence broke out and thirteen strikers were killed and fifty seven wounded before the strike was broken.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large;"><span> </span><img height="400" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/StephenGroverCleveland.png/220px-StephenGroverCleveland.png" width="307" /></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large;">Later, in order to “mend fences” with organized labor and help defuse the situation Grover Cleveland pushed though a bill to identify Labor Day as an official federal holiday.<span> </span>This date coincided with a annual celebration conducted each year by the Central Labor Union of New York and ended the calls for an official recognition of May Day in the United States.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, on this Labor Day, while you enjoy your beer and BBQ, remember that you are enjoying your day off work because the United States of America chose to embrace a socialist holiday.

Dictionary.com defines “projection” as “The attribution of one’s own attitudes, feelings, or desires to someone or something as a naïve or unconscious defense against anxiety or guilt.” The only part of that definition that does not apply to democrats is the “naïve or unconscious” part. They know exactly what they are doing and have gotten very good at getting the feeble minded groups that make up their voting blocks to buy it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDhiJp3_oIir-8aE3WVo1Cs_2_KrtRYDYLMS6H3m6hD7pi5c1O-vbaglXA2xTmn0fft035JTaJdQb4ulK_PDNyNkHmEhgyH4y_7PI0gpF-14whcbWZF1qL8X7qrQ-ANFk7I_5yKc85-Vs/s1600/stupid-voters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDhiJp3_oIir-8aE3WVo1Cs_2_KrtRYDYLMS6H3m6hD7pi5c1O-vbaglXA2xTmn0fft035JTaJdQb4ulK_PDNyNkHmEhgyH4y_7PI0gpF-14whcbWZF1qL8X7qrQ-ANFk7I_5yKc85-Vs/s320/stupid-voters.jpg" width="284" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Let’s start with racism. Every democrat under the sun uses that brand to mark his or her political opponent at least a dozen times a week. So much so in fact that the ploy is rapidly losing its effectiveness at shutting down debate. Oh it worked well for a long time, so much so that the modern liberal has a hard time giving up on the practice. And since they don’t learn very fast, I expect that tactic to remain in the socialist playbook for some time to come. But let’s examine just a few facts about democrats and racism. First, history, to hear the left tell it every single slave owner in the old antebellum south was a Reagan Republican right wing hater. The fact is that virtually all of them were democrats. And it was democrats that started and filled the ranks of the KKK. During the 60’s democrats as a party opposed any and all civil rights legislation. Today democrats have a vested interest in keeping blacks poor and in victim status, and for some reason that escapes me, that keeps them coming to the polls and casting votes for democrats. And every single thing they have done to supposedly “help” black folks in this country has had the opposite effect. I could write a book on this subject alone, but the bottom line is that in the blackest areas of the country, where democrats have been in control for decades and had virtually unlimited funds to apply toward helping the local population, black people are poorer and less likely to succeed than ever before. Even Rainman could improve the lot of black Americans with the resources they have had, “definitely need to cut local business and property taxes to attract new companies, definitely, uh-oh, uh-oh, time for Wapner” </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1075870046380&id=df696bbd834bdf8b5d19bd71a978146d&url=http%3a%2f%2fnoahfleming.com%2fblog%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2010%2f01%2frainman.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The left also continually screams that we on the right don’t care about the education of our children. So lets’ look at some facts. Every single time the right has suggested “real” improvements in our educational system, school system accountability, merit based pay for teachers, school vouchers and curriculum changes that go back to teaching time proven basics, the left has opposed those changes and in an ironic schizophrenic rage declared that we want to destroy the minds of our younger generation. They, on the other hand, propose only that we continue to dump billions more dollars into a failed system that props up teacher unions and the status quo. Because every dollar of taxpayer money we pump into the teacher unions means more money donated by them to the campaign war chests of the DNC. You want to know how much the left cares about children? They care enough to protect a practice that murders millions of them every year in the womb, that’s how much. Saying that democrats are all about the children is like saying Adolf Hitler was all about building synagogues</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><img src="http://ts4.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1077245389367&id=2c776986b3bc29177628468af6b6c366&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.giwersworld.org%2famenhF.jpg" /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">One of my favorites is the democrat claim that Republicans are in the pocket of big business. They make this claim because of the occasional desire on the part of some Republicans to roll back or restrict regulation and corporate taxes that drive industry overseas. The democrats on the other hand are actually in the pocket of big business providing favors for corporate lobbyists and bailouts for big businesses that don’t even need them. Just to insure that they get that fat check for the campaign war chest and a nice little cushy consulting or lobbyist job that pays millions when the voters of that particular district finally wise up and eject them from the capital. Ever wonder how someone like Harry Reid can go to Washington without two red cents to rub together and end up being one of the richest people in the political class? It’s because he sells influence. Don’t get me wrong, both sides are guilty of this, but the democrats are especially rotten on the issue. This is why we must declare war on the political class in this country. It is the only way this process will end. But the left not only is in the pocket of big business, they are in there with both hands.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://ts2.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1040178879037&id=3ed707fda9403e01c377d044bc28906f&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.yattermatters.com%2fwp%2fwp-content%2fimages%2f2009%2f12%2fstealing-money-from-pocket.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of course the communists often talk about the corruption on the right. This has to be the most laughable complaint they have about the right. Nazi Pelosi declared upon assuming her throne as Speaker of the House and Wicked Witch of the West in 2007 that the era of corruption in congress was over and she was going to “drain the swamp”. One of those Washington snakes must have plugged up that drain because she ended up presiding over the most corrupt bunch of democrats in the history of that institution. (and that is really saying something) We were to uncover case after case of democrats on the take, not paying taxes, not declaring income, receiving illegal gifts, breaking their own house rules and even perversion. Nancy’s house democrats made Bernie Madoff look like a saint. Them calling republicans corrupt was like Pamela Anderson calling Mother Teresa a slut. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1081827728144&id=4dd89bfed210b6db53606fcb276546c3&url=http%3a%2f%2ferikaearl.files.wordpress.com%2f2010%2f05%2fmother-theresa-hi-resolution1.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So the next time you hear a democrat make a claim that we are outlaws, better check the post office wall for their picture.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1186882986364&id=cc89171928372bcd149c63224500437e&url=http%3a%2f%2f1.bp.blogspot.com%2f-g2uUoRjuVJw%2fTWS6heP1mQI%2fAAAAAAAAA-E%2fI1BW9yPJNxk%2fs1600%2fwanted-sign-wisconsin-democrats-dereliction-of-duty.jpg" /></span></div><br />

A very embarrassing situation to be in. Unless you are a democrat or member of NAACP (I know, being redundant again Johnny Alamo) They are immune to shame from the overuse of the race card even though that account has been closed for some time. They not only are not ashamed to use it, they go to great lengths to tie subjects to it that have absolutely nothing to do with race. In fact it has turned into a barometer of sorts for the right. You know you are on the right side of an issue and beating the pants off the left when they accuse you of racism.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://rlv.zcache.com/barack_obama_race_card_poster-p228639233262471883tdcp_400.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I’m not really sure why they still feel the need to use it. In the post 2008 election period of euphoria, when the “rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal”, when Chris Matthews got “tingles up his leg” and unicorns ran free pooping skittles all over the shire, we were supposed to be in the “post racial” period. What happened? Well, for one, we nasty conservatives and libertarians refused to fall to our knees like good little subjects and bow at the altar of hope and change. There could only be one excuse for us to fail to recognize the awesome awesomeness of Barack Hussein Obama. We are all Grand Dragons of the Ku Klux Klan, just back from burning black churches and dragging uppity persons of a darker shade behind our pickups for Sunday entertainment. </span></div><img height="226" src="http://faculty.polytechnic.org/gfeldmeth/kkkparade.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So not only did the race card come back out, but it became the automatic reason for any opposition to the glorious one’s socialist agenda.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Oppose raising taxes during economic downturns?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RACIST!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Have a problem with all those czars?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">RACIST!!!!!!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: red;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">You can’t really blame them, republicans have long allowed this type of attack paralyze them in their tracks. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/dM47-X0UIAk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Typically, the lily livered GOP has tucked their tail and slinked off whenever the racism kryptonite has been hurled at them. So it is their own fault that it has grown into such an effective tool against them. If they would address that accusation directly a little more often and exposed the assault for what it is, an admission of victory on the subject, the left would refrain from using it. After a while anyway, libs don’t catch on real quick.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">In fact it has become such an effective weapon for the left that they have gotten real creative in its application. It has almost become entertaining to watch the Machiavellian contortions they put themselves through to tie race to every argument.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> Recently that honorable statesperson and Hanna Barbera cartoon character from Houston, Sheila Jackson Lee announced on the house floor that republicans were complicating the debt ceiling debate because Barack Obama was black. Sometime later Speaker Boehner retired to the cloak room for a good cry and emerged with a compromise that gave democrats virtually everything they wanted (except tax increases) and virtually nothing the right wanted. Not that the charge of racism was the reason in itself but I’m sure Sheila’s claim didn’t hurt the democrats cause even though it should have.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><img src="http://static.globalgrind.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/article_images/images/2011_july/30u9r91_0.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Another recent non-issue that gave some Progs the vapors was when Rick Perry stated that a “big black cloud” was hanging over the nation. Obviously this was a reference to the fact that we had a black president in the White House according to MSNBC’s newest on air class for journalistic integrity starring none other than Al Sharpton. Pot meet Kettle, oh crap! That was a racist comment huh????</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">But by far the funniest claim I have seen recently is from none other than ManBearPig himself. That’s correct our old buddy Al Bore, aggravated by those nasty small minded people that like to see outrageous claims of man made global warming be backed up by actual facts, claimed that debating him on climate science was the moral equivalent of being a Bull Connor racist. Connor was the Commissioner for Public Safety in Birmingham Alabama who was notorious for turning fire hoses, and attack dogs on civil rights protestors in the 60’s. The ironic part of the Gorical’s claim is that his own father Albert Gore senior (who I think invented the telegraph) voted against the Civil Rights act of 1964 and the Voter Rights act of 1965. Before you start hurling racism claims Al, you really should look in your own closet. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> <img src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00682/al-gore-404_682507c.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Those are just a few outrageous claims of racism that have been leveled at us lately, I don’t see any change in the tactic on the horizon either. That is until the political class on the right follow the advice of a friend of mine by the name of Joel Jollymore and next time they are on a news program and asked to respond to a claim of racism they should reply with “The NAACP (and the Democrat Party) are racist organizations designed to keep black Americans on the Dem plantation and they keep their militant arm (the Black Panthers) around to round up any that attempt to leave.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">I only have one thing to add to that………..</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="racist." height="357" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/NietzscheSprGirl/thats_racist.gif" width="400" /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

The administration announced that this executive order would “indefinitely delay deportations of illegal immigrants who don’t have criminal records and will offer them the chance to apply for a work permit” I’m sure the 24 million unemployed LEGAL citizens of this country are thrilled by the news.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><img src="http://www.thfire.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/unemployed.jpg" /></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The White House also says this applies to a current crop of 300,000 illegal aliens, (I’m sorry) undocumented workers that are currently in the system. What they didn’t tell us was that it will apply to all future detainees as well. The Department of Homeland Security and Justice will put together a “working group” to redefine what cases are pursued. Guess what that means, unless they commit a felony in this country, they stay and get a work permit to take away an American’s job. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img height="280" src="http://illegalprotest.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/illegal_beatch.jpg" width="400" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Apparently <a href="http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2011/08/05/senate-says-good-news-coming-soon-for-undocumented-students/">Dick (the Turban) Durban</a> knew this was coming back on Aug, 5<sup>th</sup> when he told reporters that the Department of Homeland Security would “soon have a relative announcement on the long stalled Dream Act” And he was right, in spite of the fact that congress has rejected variations of this horrible idea several times since 2001, Obama decided that he would just do away with that troublesome old yellowed piece of paper called the United States Constitution and pass the legislation by executive fiat. Get ready Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and southern California! Do you hear that thundering herd in the distance? That is 50 million more illegal aliens racing toward that porous border of ours ready to cash in on the new meal ticket. </span></div><img src="http://www.roselawgroup.com/blog/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Line-of-illegals-moving-across-Roger-Barnetts-ranch-Cochise-County-Arizona-on-the-Arizona-Mexican-border..jpg" /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">According to the DHS we silly little minions are not to worry our pretty little heads about this. The only illegal aliens this will apply to are:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Individuals that have been in this country since childhood. How do they determine if someone has been in this country since childhood? They ask them of course you silly……… Why would an illegal alien identity thief lie to us about that?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Minors, well that’s only a handful right? It’s not like Mexicans have a lot of kids you know……..</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The elderly, but don’t worry, they won’t help collapse Social Security and Medicare…….</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Pregnant and nursing women, there goes Medicaid………..</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Victims of serious crime. What determines exactly what a serious crime is?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Veterans and Members of the Armed Forces. One good idea, but how many are there really?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And persons with serious disabilities or health issues. Don’t worry, that long wait you had at the ER last year won’t get any longer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.rightpundits.com/wp-content/photos/janet_napolitano_65.jpg" /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And then they get a work permit, wonderful. We have so many unfilled jobs in this country right now. Of course the folks in the communist……. Sorry, Democrat party tell us this will be great! Now that these folks are out of the shadows, they will pay taxes. Of course they have told us that these law breakers paid taxes all along. Yeah, let me tell you how these people pay taxes. They claim 6 dependents on their W-4 form and not one red cent is taken out for income tax. Since they are illegal, uh, I mean undocumented, no social security numbers for their supposed dependents exist. So the IRS has no way to verify that these dependents actually exist. And for some reason never tries to. (and yet if your wife fails to change her last name on her social security card after you marry they are on you like a chicken on a June bug) Yes, they do pay social security to a fake number. It always amazed me how the Social Security Administration can accept a fake number or the number of a deceased person and never say a word, but they rarely do.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img height="300" src="http://www.alliance2020.com/cms1/images/stories/fotolia_513364_s.jpg" width="400" /></span></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> The question is now what? Is what the Zero did an impeachable offence? Possibly, and the House of Representatives could very well vote to bring articles of impeachment up against him. But they won’t. Too many in Congress are petrified of that prospect because they would be labeled as racists and they just don’t have the stones to fight back. Of course it would be a worthless fight anyway because they would then have to try him in Harry Reid’s senate. He would never be removed. Our best bet is to stick this little tidbit in our ammo pouch for 2012. And demand of our candidates that they promise to resend this executive order about 5 minutes after taking the oath of office. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://charlestonteaparty.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/repeal_day1.gif" /></span></div><br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;">I already know the answer to that question. In the battle of ideologies between the Tea Party, the GOP establishment and the Democrats, we have been portrayed as the bad guys, the hostage takers, the terrorists and now the <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/14/ftn/main20092200.shtml">Legos</a>…… huh? This is no surprise really. We are educated and schooled in the Alinsky tactics of demonizing your political opponents that the left has used for years against the right. We knew what to expect from them when we started this show. We also knew that the “lame stream media” would come after us with these time honored weapons and were prepared for the onslaught. What caught many of us off guard was the GOP or at least the GOP leadership using these tools against us. That’s right, the thing they would never (much to our consternation at times) use against the left, they freely launch against the Tea Party Patriots. Why?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;">First of all we all really know how ridiculous these claims are. The folks that believe in the constitution, in fiscal responsibility, in common sense foreign policy and that our elected officials should actually honor their oaths of office are not the black hat guys here. They are your Grandmas and Grandpas, your Vietnam veteran uncle, your church going Mom and Dad, your cousin who just got back from Afghanistan and your preacher. They are the history teacher you always liked, the owner of the corner market, and the guy who owns the gas station down the road. They are the farmer, the local pediatrician and the nurse that works in his office. They are the firefighter, the policeman and the ambulance driver. In short, they are America. And they represent everything that made America what it is today. They are the folks that make this country and this economic engine work. They are not, as MSNBC or CNN would have you believe “Astroturf” bought and paid for by greedy capitalists to throw the proverbial monkey wrench into the gears of Hope and Change. They are not as NBC, ABC and CBS claim white hood wearing fanatics who oppose Barack Obama because of their seething racism. They are patriots, that believe in American exceptionalism, the rule of law and that they are blessed to have been born in or immigrated to the greatest country in the history of the world. Sounds like a real bloodthirsty bunch huh?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;">The driving force behind the Tea Party is simple, principle. They are people who live their lives guided by principle. And they have watched from the sidelines for decades as the political class in this country sold out principle to either line their pockets or push an anti-American agenda or both. They are sick of it. It turns their stomach and in truth they blame themselves for the complacency brought on by their relatively comfortable life over the years and just recently realized that their children and grandchildren will never have that same sort of existence. And they now urgently desire to set all those years of political apathy right. They also know, that unless they do, they condemn future generations to a life of servitude to an overbearing and oppressive tyrannical form of government that bears no resemblance to the republic that the founders envisioned for us.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;">They have an uphill battle on their hands. The enemy is a political class that is entrenched and has stacked the deck in their favor. And an entitlement class that they have created to help them keep their power. Included in the latter group are not only the welfare recipients, but a larger portion of the electorate that are in the employ of government. In fact, the real reason for the health care bill is to create government employees out of the country’s health care workers, numbering 50.7 million, this bill would more than double the amount of government employees in the United States. Added to the current toll, this would represent over 71 million in that workforce. Think about that for a minute, a voting block of 71 million and their spouses, all having to stand in a voting booth and decide on whether to pull the lever for a party that wants to cut government spending, or a party that wants to grow it. In 2008 only 132 million people voted. So you can see how critical the health care bill is to democrats, and how vital it is that the Tea Party gets it repealed. Of course the icing on the cake for the left is the whole other group (everyone) that will depend on Uncle Sam for all their health care needs. This is why universal health care has always been the Holy Grail to socialists around the world. The so called “stimulus” bills were designed to only stimulate Democrat votes, by lumping all state and local government employees in that group, as most of those funds went to those entities. Considering all of this, you can see how vital the past few years and the next few are to the future of the Republic. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;">The Tea Party felt pretty good about their chances after the 2010 elections though, gaining a number of seats in the Senate and taking complete control of the House of Representatives who actually controls the purse strings. Of course all those republicans running, both incumbents and challengers paid homage to the new political movement and promised to go forth and strike down the new health care law and curtail out of control spending in Washington. Some of them tried, mostly from the freshman class. The veterans however got back to D.C. and resumed business as usual, wheeling and dealing with our future in some old and perverse chess game that continued to send us hurtling down the road to hell. Finally, disgusted over congress’s failure to move on the agenda they sent them there to enact, the Tea Party cried out over spending and the budget. They contacted their representatives and let them know in no uncertain terms that unless they held the line on spending and the debt ceiling they would be fired in 2012. A number of the representatives, mostly freshmen again, responded and tried to hold that line. But their own leadership sold them out. The Speaker of the House told them to “get their ass’s in line”, and subverted a bill that his own house passed called Cut, Cap and Balance that would have capped current spending levels, cut future budgets and called for a balanced budget amendment. His “compromise” was a bill that did none of the above. It raised the debt ceiling to avoid a fictitious default on the nation’s debt, and promised future cuts to increases, in the amount of the debt ceiling hike. It was and is a farce. During the debate many in our own party mimicked the left’s Alinsky attacks on the Tea Party and called us “hostage takers” and “Hobbits”. Of course the media jumped on this band wagon along with the DNC and came up with a few extra adjectives to describe the movement. The desired result was achieved, the Tea Party’s negatives grew among the “oh so vital” independents, thus supposedly vindicating the turncoat Republicans and their “strategy”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;">So instead of using the debate to promote fiscal sanity and educate the uninformed independents, the republican leadership caved, and played to the lowest common denominator, as usual. I am reminded of one of my favorite Jeffersonian quotes.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><br />

You knew the fix involved Mom, a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a big ol needle. You hated the idea of it, but knew that you had to go through with it, otherwise, like Mom said, your whole arm would rot and fall off. My relationship with Rick Perry has been a lot like that.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><img src="http://img.ehowcdn.co.uk/article-page-main/ehow-uk/images/a07/lb/t3/easy-way-splinters-out-800x800.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He has always positioned himself so that I had to support him, in spite of the fact that I can’t stand the guy. Every few years in Texas I have railed about Rino Ricky and how we needed to do everything we could to deny him the governor’s mansion in Austin this time. But because of the poor crop of primary challengers who were idiots at best or downright dangerous at worst, I have had to stand there at the voting booth, trembling like when I was a kid, knowing that I had to take a dose of nasty medicine and pull the lever for him again. </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The reasons have ranged from liking a candidate but knowing that they didn’t stand a chance in hell of beating the democrat in the general, to actually voting against a candidate because they could win and scared me worse than Rick. (case in point, Kay Bailey Hutchison). That is all bad enough, but I have to vote for him twice, once in the primary and once in the general against the Stalinist on the democrat ticket. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Usually followed by me walking out of the polling place and picking up a dog turd to take a bite, just to get the bad taste out of my mouth.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/339420-26424-47.jpg" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Judging by the way things are turning out in the upcoming Presidential election, I think I may have a Fido discharge sandwich in my future come November 2012. The problem is, while the Tea Party in Texas knows and feels mostly the way I do about the Rickster. Most of the Tea Party groups around the rest of the country love the guy. It’s not their fault, all they know of Rick Perry are those quirky Texan type things he has done to get in the national news. Whether it was threats of succession, shooting coyotes or talk of asserting the 10<sup>th</sup> amendment, to them he sounds like a dream candidate. <a href="http://jeffersoinisanfantasies.blogspot.com/2011/06/case-against-rick-perry_25.html">I have written in the past about all the reasons they should not support him for the top spot.</a> And all I can do now is continue </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">shine that spotlight on him before we wake up one day and find that he is our only hope to unseat the jug eared destroyer that currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><img height="392" src="http://www.overunitybuilder.com/images/obama_smoking-weed1.jpg" width="400" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Of the field of candidates in the GOP right now, I would support just about all of them before Perry, with the exception of Huntsman, who has not yet figured out he belongs in the democrat primary instead of the Republican, and Mittens for the same reason. Yep, before you ask, even that cartoon character Ron Paul. But alas, I think that if Rick gets in it, he will win it. And then we will have no choice but support him. Make no mistake, I will not sit out the election if he gets the nomination. I will fight Perry tooth and nail in the primary, but if he wins the GOP slot, I will have a Perry for President sign on my front yard. Hopefully there will be two “P”s on that sign, Perry and Palin. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Of course I would prefer the latter be at the top of the sign.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">And now I hear that he has <a href="http://www.rickperry.org/">officially announced his candidacy</a>, OUCH, I think I just got a sliver in my finger……………..</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">I don’t claim to be a financial wizard. I don’t know much about debt ratings, money markets, the Federal Reserve, downgrades, upgrades, securities or the International Monetary Fund. But I am aware of what happens if you spend more money than you take in. That apparently makes me vastly more qualified to occupy a seat in Congress, or the White House than the folks that currently reside there. Today we learned that S&P downgraded Uncle Sam’s triple A rating, (a rating that we have held since WWI by the way) to double A +. And they didn’t lower it because we failed to raise our debt ceiling. They lowered it <i>BECAUSE</i> we raised our debt ceiling. Yes, the good old USA now is living in the credit rating shadow of France. Let that sink in for a moment……….</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The country that had the financial might to end World War One, that funded World War Two, that rebuilt Europe and Japan with their monetary strength after the war, that basically defeated the Soviet Union with it’s financial power, is now rated the same as New Zealand, and South Korea. Well, that’s not really fair……. To New Zealand and South Korea, at least their outlook is rated as stable, ours is rated as negative.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><img height="400" src="http://no-money-down-usda-mortgage.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Credit-Scores.png" width="400" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;">How did we get here? Well talking heads and politicians will no doubt provide us with a hundred different reasons for it. Most of them will be wrong. We are where we are right now because our elected representatives, or most of them anyway, can’t understand what virtually every responsible citizen in the United States already knows. If you are having trouble paying your bills, the answer is not to borrow more money to pay them. We understand that, and S&P also understands that. If only our President and congress’s leadership had listened to those “Hostage Takers” and "Terrorists" from the tea party we would not find ourselves in the situation we are in now.

You know, those guys that want to cut our heads off if we don’t submit to their wacked out religion. No, the left would never refer to the terrorists as……. terrorists. Even though were it not for the right’s desire to protect them and their demented lifestyle they would be the very first ones subjected to radical Islam. They are the ones that would get beheaded for blasphemy. It would be the feminists that would be subjected to their 12<sup>th</sup> century views on women and stuck in burkas, have their genitalia mutilated so they could not feel any pleasure from sex and stoned to death for going out without a male family member to escort them. But instead of denouncing this brutal version of Islam they save the slings and arrows to attack their political foes right here at home. In fact there seems to be no limit to the foul names they will use on us. I find myself wondering what we will be compared to next, child molesters or serial rapists?</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;"><img src="http://reyeslawgroup.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/orange-prisoner.jpg" /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: large;">Of course the truth is that the left only sees one enemy, that is the enemy of their political ideology.

It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”</span></span><br />

In her words, “This is almost like a dictatorship. I know they want to force the outcome that….. their extremist would like to impose”. I guess she is talking about me…….. That seems to be the new mantra we hear from the left about the Tea Party. And by left I also mean people like <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/john-mccain-unloads-tea-party-200836239.html">John McCain</a>, who also on Wednesday said, "The Republican House that failed to raise the debt ceiling would somehow escape all blame. Then Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced-budget amendment and reform entitlements, and the tea-party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth having defeated Mordor." </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">And then followed up with this little gem, "This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell into GOP Senate nominees,". </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><img src="http://meaningfuldistractions.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/john_mccain.jpg" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">First of all I would like to personally thank the primary voters of Arizona for giving the nomination for one of their two precious senate seats back to John McCain. With allies like you all, we don’t need a democrat party. It seems that Mr. McCain also sees us as extremists based on his comments. I should also state for the record that none of this is any real surprise to the Tea Party. We have always known which side of John McCain’s political bread gets buttered. And I will take this opportunity to tell Mr. McCain that I would have preferred that Arizona had nominated Weird Al Yankovic to him. So with that in mind Sharron Angle doesn’t seem like such a bad choice.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><img height="400" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/%22Weird_Al%22_Yankovic.JPG" width="318" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">We have also had the <a href="http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/zieve/100917">President</a>, Vice President, <a href="http://drkatesview.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/pinocchio-pelosi/">Ex Speaker of the House</a> (I just love that title) and too many congressmen and <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2699010/posts">senators </a>to mention use the term “extremist” to describe those folks with similar political philosophies as mine. And at first I took offense to that. But after some reflection, I think it is time to embrace that handle, just as <a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=31504">Col.

Breivik is an unlikely looking mass murderer, a handsome Nordic lad with blond hair and blue eyes. Not exactly what we picture when we think of homicidal maniacs, (Charles Manson comes to mind) and normally the media would be perplexed and trying to determine what caused such a good looking young man to go off the deep end. That is if he were a democrat in this country or a socialist in Europe. You see within minutes of the news of this disaster breaking, we were told that Breivik was a “right winger”. Ok, that explains it, he is one of those hateful tea partiers! </span><o:p></o:p></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.tv2.no/nyheter/innenriks/anders-behring-breivik-32-i-oslo-ble-paagrepet-etter-bombe-og-massedrap-3544629.html">Before a single body turned cold, Norwegian TV news declared that Breivik was a conservative Christian and member of a Masonic lodge.

That story lasted for a few days until the details of his suicide note were reluctantly revealed by the Pravda-like media. Turns out he was a left wing whack-job who ranted about the bailouts, big business and of course the evil church.
