Genocide

2025-09-16T15:48:00.002-04:00

Here are two examples from the 20th century of how governments have demonized part of their populations to turn ordinary people into heartless uncaring tools of murder. We see this type of demonization from true hate groups, terrorist, and members of the ruling elite around the world. In the US today anyone who does not support the left is called "far-right", MAGAtes, etc.

In the 1930 the National Socialist Party of Germany (NAZI) began a campaign to unite the people of Germany in an effort to use unite the nation under the the banner of Nazi rule and the will of Adolph Hitler. Today referred to as the Holocaust.

"One of history’s darkest chapters, the Holocaust was the systematic killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II (1939–45). Slavs, Roma, gay people, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others also were singled out for obliteration, but the Nazis’ various policies for exterminating the Jews were the most deliberate and calculated." https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Holocaust-Facts-and-Figures

In 100 days from April to July 1994 there was a planned campaign of mass murder in the country of Rwanda.

"The genocide was conceived by extremist elements of Rwanda’s majority Hutu population who planned to kill the minority Tutsi population and anyone who opposed those genocidal intentions. It is estimated that some 200,000 Hutu, spurred on by propaganda from various media outlets, participated in the genocide. More than 800,000 civilians—primarily Tutsi, but also moderate Hutu—were killed during the campaign." https://www.britannica.com/event/Rwanda-genocide-of-1994

We are constantly told that the greatest danger to the nation is "straight white men" and "extreme MAGA" Republicans or maggots. Much in the same manner as the NAZIs defined their chosen internal enemies as rats, lice, cockroaches, foxes, vultures and other vermin the one of the chosen slur in Maggots. Throughout history this has been a tactic to divide groups of people to be conquered. "Anyone who opposes this division is call divisive, or Fascist, or NAZIs.

Once you convince a segment of people that the chosen segment of the population is not human or evil it is easier to exterminate those people and create a true totalitarian state.

With the murder/assassination of Charlie Kirk, the full extent of the brainwashing of a large segment of the US population has been exposed to the general population. When you have such a massive celebration of the death of a fellow citizen, it shows that these people no longer believe that those who disagree with them are human and do not deserve to live in "their world". This is what causes genocides. It give normal people the rational to commit mass murder.

This is the "virus" that has now been identified in our universities and political parties. It must end now. I beg all rational liberty loving Americans to join together to fight this malignant cancer that is eating away at our civility and civilization. The world once again faces a group that seems to be preparing their foot solders for a genocide. We must unite or be subjugated to a people who have no respect for human life and the ideas that founded the US.

The Ultimate Betrayal

2020-02-11T00:14:00.004-05:00

It is an key event in American History, told many times, and needs repeating. On September 11, 2001, the United States of America suffered an attack that changed the nation. Accusations began to fly at the government of being incompetent and not connecting the dots that could have stopped the attacks. The Congress pushed through the Patriot Act. However, one entity created well before this law was The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. This created the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The government gave itself power through these two laws to gather information it deemed necessary to protect the nation from future foreign attacks.

The original purpose, of course, was to monitor foreign nationals and corporations that might engage in illegal activities. Nevertheless, modifications made after the 9/11 attacks the system opened the system to charges of domestic spying. In addition, it opened the door for even greater abuse in these secret courts.

Fear of the possible abuse of this powerful court were not widely known or understood. However, people aware of them feared that overreach and abuse would tempt people to use this added power against those who they disagreed. It seems obvious to many that those fears were well founded. People who understand the possibility for abuse knew that anytime someone in power with little or no concern for individual rights would gladly turn this secret court into a weapon.

This is the type of abuse demonstrated within the Obama Administration in a vain attempt by the IRS to silence the Tea Party movement. Starting in 2008, the Obama Administration showed, beyond denial, that it was willing to use the executive branch as a weapon. This administration viewed the Bill of Rights as too limiting and Obama actually called it a list of negative right, which did not say what the government had to do. This twisting of The Constitution showed a total disrespect for the true owners of the country, the citizens. This was a total betrayal of his oath of office.

Since 2016, the Democrat Party put the nation through three years of attacks against a President in what many are calling a silent coup attempt. This started on the day of his election. Starting with the previous administration, it is accused and there is public evidence that government agencies worked against his election attempt and interfered with his Constitutional mandated authority once he entered office. Once the Democrats took control of the House of Representatives, they immediately began both overt and covert impeachment inquiries. They also rushed article to the Senate that contained no crimes as defined by The Constitution and as is well known The Senate then acquitted.

This impeachment was like no other. The last one was the Nixon impeachment, which had a non-patrician consensus of the House and Senate. The underlying crime was that some campaign worker gained entry into a DNC office to plant listening devices and the cover up that followed. Whereas the Democrats grasped at straws to try to find anything that would/could be considered a crime to hang on President Trump. One thing that I am sure that they were hoping for was a cover up charge similar to those used in the Nixon Impeachment. However, they were outmaneuvered. Even though they were able to gather information well beyond what the House was able to obtain during the Nixon investigation. Information on the Trump Administration accessed through illegally obtained FISA surveillance warrants provided no usable evidence.

Of course, their first attempt to impeach, fueled by the Russian collation acquisitions failed. Unverified acquisitions financed by the Clinton Campaign showed the weakness in this system. Exposing and endangers the nation, by painting every agent and agency as dishonest. This episode opened a major breach in the trust that is required for the courts and law enforcement agencies to protect and defend the nation. By lying to the courts and obtaining warrants to spy on the Trump campaign using faked documents they have brought into question the existence of the FISA court, and in some cases the intelligence community, as a whole.

Surveillance warrants to spy on Carter Page violate everything Americans expect from those in power. To head of future abuses and stop violations of the basic trust, valid questions require answers. In addition, safety guards and fixes put into place to head off possible future abuses. Nevertheless, people run these courts and people are not perfect, which could necessitate elimination of a system designed to protect us from foreign spying.

In the ultimate betrayal of the American people, those in government have put the nation at risk of attack in a desperate attempt to hold their failing grasp of power. Their selfish desire to defeat a President lawfully elected they are willing to damage the nation beyond repair. To regain any semblance of justice those involved should not walk away unpunished. Examples of what happens when you put personal power ahead of the life and liberty of our nation are not subject to reward.

Raucus Caucus Faucus

2020-02-06T20:25:00.001-05:00

Could any political party have a more desperately disaster of a week? In a blog post from July of 2018, “The Straw That Broke The Donkey’s Back,” I wondered about the lack of leadership of the Democrat Party. In that case it was the outlawing of straws that seemed to be not well thought out. It appears that they are no long playing the long game.

The current leadership has shown none of the of gamesmanship of the former Democrat Party Leaders. Today the current leaders appear to be so closely tied into what the appearance of political corruption that they are running scare. To be fair the leadership has never faced the one of a kind President Donald J. Trump. I respected Ronald Reagan. However I feel he was too trusting of his political opposition. He expected them to follow through on their commitments. But anyone who lived through those year know that they did not honor their word. From their constant attacks upon him and such betrayals as the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act after which the Congress failed to fund enforcement of the border control provisions.

Nevertheless, George H. W. Bush, in an effort to be “liked”, undid most of the tax and spending reforms championed by his predicator. Which made him a one term president. That has been the problem with the GOP presidents with their relations with the media and the Democrat Party. The Democrats can say whatever they wish, no matter how inflammatory about any Republican, and the Maxis Media (MXM) reinforces the narrative. However, whenever a Republican defends themselves the MXM dutifully attacks them as if they have no right to self-defense. That has changed and the many on the media and the Progressives are lost on how to take back the narrative.

With the change in the political climate the Progressives have opened themselves up to the radical Socialist and Communist. People like AOC are power hungry and don’t seem to care how they obtain it. Even the longtime fan of Communism and Independent, Bernie Sanders has gained a strong foothold amongst their ranks.

I have no doubt that the Democrats will do everything that they can to keep a person who refuses to join the party to run under their banner. However they were shamed into modifying their (very un-democratic) super delegate process after the 2016 nomination fiasco. Contrary to what they claim the actual process puts control of the nomination into the hands of a group of party leaders that can by fiat select the party’s candidate. This is how they excluded the non-party member from running as a Democrat in 2016.

This is where I think things get interesting. A party that claims to hate the Electoral College uses a process that, to some extent, resembles it. By not making the process directly tied to the popular vote they betray the basic rules of democracy. In this case, it is more about control by a select group as compared to allowing more equity based upon the will of the states as a whole. They like the control that the super delegate process because it gives the leaders of the party a veto. I am very sure that they would love the Electoral College if they could control it. This is the very definition of tyrannical rule. Rule by the few over the will of the governed.

Well this week the Democrats had their first caucus of the 2020 Presidential Election Year and there are a lot of question about why it is taking so long to determine the results. There is a lot of speculation that the results have been held up due to Mr. Sanders was winning. That is almost certainly true due to some interesting results that were release, which showed Mayor Pete winning the most delegates, while Sanders received the most votes. As I write this writing, the head of the party is calling for an immediate “recanvass” of the botched Iowa caucus. To me this raises the specter of more funny business. Even the MXM cannot fully cover up this disaster.

One of my best guesses, and there is other speculating on this, is that the Democrats want to abandon Iowa and most of the rest of the nation in the heartland of the country, that they are unable to control. The leaders of the party seem to be more in favor of letting New York, Illinois, California, and the large Metropolitan areas select their candidate and the winner of the election. They are working hard to do anything to enforce their rule upon the nation and defy the will of the people across the nation. I would also speculate that the totalitarian Communists and Socialist in the party that are pushing this so that they can obtain that power they crave.

Therefore, after this week, the GOP is in a very strong position. The Impeachment fiasco and the implosion of the Democrat’s Caucus in Iowa left the Progressives wounded. However, this is not the time to drop our guard. The Democrats have shown me that they are the sworn enemies of our freedoms and the Constitution as a whole. As they continue to embrace totalitarian Communism I will continue to dedicate myself to defeating them. Until a party emerges that will work to protect our freedoms and the health of the nation as a whole I will do what I can to defeat them. The Democrats are selling snake oil and only helping those who help them.

Today is the day for all freedom loving Americans to fight against those who will overthrow our government and hand our lives to the Globalist who dream of a perfect world. There idea of a perfect world is them in complete control. They claimed that they were protecting the Constitution while ripping it up even more than what the Speaker of the House did to the State of the Union speech.

2019-07-25T19:55:00.000-04:00

This week in a blatant display of racism, a state representative reported being accosted by an obvious right-winger. The evil white man attacked her and demanded that; “she should go back to where she came from.” This brave woman instantly went to Facebook to tell the world of this travesty, which sparked an outrage. The poor woman, who said she was 9 months pregnant, took the express lane in the local grocery store, although she was over the posted limit. Her delicate condition did not keep her from holding an impromptu press conference later in the day. You know politics… uh looking out for the public good.

During her time in the limelight, the person that confronted her crashed the party and for some reason felt that he needed to tell his side of the story. It seems that he is a self-appointed Express Lane Enforcement Officer. He said that she was in violation of the Progressive Criminal Code (PCC) 479.23.79.1. This requires anyone who exceeds the suggested number of items when using the Express Lane Checkout to be harassed. (This is the similar to the portion of the PCC requiring the harassment of smokers in parks, in their home, or on public sidewalks.) Even though he reported that there were at least 2 other registers with no one in line, use of the Express Lane is only for those deemed worth. After all “rules are rules”.

He seemed to let her off with only a warning. However since she was also a Progressive and her status as a State Representative means that she is better than “normal plebes”. Her status allows her to blow a simple confrontation into a racist incident. This was supposed to be her proof of how evil Trump supporter were running around and attacking poor women of color for no reason. The major problem with her impromptu plan was that her “attacker” was a lifelong “Blue Dog Progressive Democrat”. He is also of Cuban decent.

Two Progressives caused this whole comedy of errors; one looking for a victim to use as a vehicle to attack President Trump supports if not the President himself. The other person was a busy body who decided to impose his self-important opinion into a situation in which he had no reason to intercede. Both were wrong, however only one of them was able to garner a response from the press. This story goes further and I will not repeat them here. It is just funny to watch the Progressives eat one another.
The moral of this story is live and let live.

The Straw That Broke The Donkey’s Back

2018-07-25T15:00:00.000-04:00

Today’s Democrat Party has abandoned the playbook of the party that most Americans learned and understood for years. I just don’t understand how they could have thrown out tried and tested strategic planning schema and replaced it with shortsighted solutions. The Democrat party of the past would have played it up with as much fanfare as possible. They would have never just banned plastic straws. They would have come up with a much more involved plan to steer people into what helped the party the most.

The party of the past would have either suggested putting a $1 for tax or deposit on each straw. The tax would be the best solution for the party. They could sell it as a way to implement a straw recycling program. This tax would raise the price of a case of 5000 from about $80 to at least $5080. The Democrats would just consider that the higher cost is just a part of doing business and not something that could affect profits, since profits are evil.

Since straws will require special handling that would require a San Francisco Department of Straw Recycling or SFDOSR, which would require its own bureaucracy. Of course, this would require special routes with custom truck to handle the collected straws for recycling. In addition, unionized workers, with guaranteed permanent employment, would have to collect the straws and additional personnel to run the specially constructed recycling plant built by unionized construction companies. Most of these workers will then be permanent Democrat voters.

Just like with the cigarette tax the higher cost of the straws will force restaurants to quit using straws. The lack of tax income will then cause a crisis for the recycling program, which will require an increase in other taxes, or the more creative solution already built into the plan.

At this point, the tourist bureau and local restaurant association would be demanding relief. The final solution would be to cut the tax by 75% with a mandate that all businesses must provide a straw to all customers with a $.35 deposit and mandatory recycling program. This would have left the workers mostly idle and well paid. While funneling millions of dollars into the coffers of the local elected officials and the Democrat Party. A win-win for the party.

After all the back and forth the average person will have forgotten why the tax was implemented and most of the straws targeted for recycling will be put in the land fill or dumped 200 miles off shore.

Now that is a long-term Democrat Party plan that I recognize.

Ink by the Barrel

2018-07-24T14:39:00.000-04:00

A famous quote credited to both Mark Twain and publicist William I. Greener, Jr. is often repeated to silence people who are attacked by the press: ‘Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel’. For years, this has been the basic means of the press steamrolling over anyone who opposed their agenda. This ability was somewhat contained when the press was decentralized nature of ownership. This allowed for a more balanced delivery of the news.

Over the years, the delivery of the news has changed and the newspaper industry went through a consolidation of ownership as radio and television news took its toll on readership. Then with the growth of the Internet put pressure on both. However, even before the Internet, pressure from 24-hour cable news channels changed the dynamics of reporting news and greater competition to be first to the air. In addition, the major networks started the consolidation of their news into the entertainment divisions. This made them more profit conscious with less concern about integrity of the content as long as they produced viewers for it. Closely following this change in attitude concerning content was even more consolidation of ownership into fewer hands.

With the advent of the Internet and most of the major news providers still unable to find ways to make a profit from this technology, has weakened much of the old guard in the news business. This has emboldened more people to challenge this, once considered, invulnerable powerhouse news organizations. Do not get me wrong. The major broadcast news organizations still have many views. However, their numbers come from the older generations, which is not a growing market. So this does not bode well for their future.

This week’s announcement oflayoffs at The New York Daily News only highlights the dire straits in which the print media finds itself. No longer does the old guard possess the power it once wielded with reckless abandonment. The once mighty daily newspapers that now look more like information pamphlets and are a pale shadow of themselves.

From this weakness and lack of integrity emerged Donald Trump. He has shown that the press no longer has those once feared barrels of ink. Polls show that over the years, trust in the media continues to fall among the American people. This is even highlighted more from the constant attacks coming from a news media that seems much more aligned with the government bureaucracies than the health and stability of the United States as a whole.

For far too long, many politicians who opposed the media's agenda, feared the press and their long arms. They feared that if they did not accept whatever the media said and did, that they face exclusion from the conversation or attacked to the point of destruction. Daily the president face these tactics. However, he has turned the tables constantly. He fearlessly not only fights back against their attacks, he turns the tables by excluding them and withholds their access to information by using Twitter to bypass their ability to control the narrative.

He has demonstrated that he is a master of media and a genius at communicating with his supporters and the American people. Now starved from direct access, the once proud masters of information delivery find themselves shrinking from the lack of the valuable info that feeds their Progressive machines. His overt media coup has help to expand the new American Political Information Age. This has tamped down the gradual century old Progressive/Socialist march to overturn much of the Constitution and the freedoms enjoyed by Americans. He has been so successful that the Democrat Socialist has had to unmask themselves in an attempt to rally their forces, as the media is no longer dependable to control the narrative.

Roseanne Roseanne Roseanne

2018-05-30T20:17:00.002-04:00

With all the reports of ABC and the rush to cancel the new Roseanne Show, I have to say that I believe that in the end this will be good for Trump supporters and America as a whole. Now before you hit the back button or close the tab let me explain. I believe, that like many actors, she is a self-promoting, self-serving, actor. She only cares about what whatever she believes will keep her in the spotlight. I fear that she, and her show, would have been only a fair weather friend.

To begin with, I must be honest and say that I never watched the Roseanne Show. I refuse to watch ABC, NBC or CBS network television. It is just has a lot to do with the political slant of their so-called news programs and how it creeps into of their programming. However, beyond that I can say that I never watched her show in its last iteration. The broadcast occurred after I began to look for other entertainment options. Therefore, I am not a critic of her acting or of the content of these productions.

I can only base my comments on what I have read or what others have said about its contents. I am not interested in her earliest show. I did find it very interesting that so many people became so enamored with the Roseanne Show when it returned. I just find the contents of her new show to be quite interesting.

Looking at the actual character of the lead actor who is the namesake of the program, my interest was piqued further. It should goes without saying that Roseanne Barr has always been a controversial person. She started her career as a stand-up comedian, billing herself as a domestic goddess. This persona brought her media attention, late night show airtime, and then her first prime time show. Her folksy comedy hit a nerve with many Americans and feed her popularity.

Roseanne is a wild card. Some of her past publicity stunts has been hard for me to explain, other than they were just that: publicity stunts. Her “2012 Presidential run” with Cindy Sheehan may have been just a way to sell a movie idea. However it the stance she pushed were socialist solutions. Her beliefs would seem to be far from the policies implemented so far by the Trump Administration.

Although her character declares her support for President Trump from the beginning of the reboot of her show, the writers for the show are liberals. My belief is that the end game could have been to use any reason to turn the narrative to the negative. I truly don’t believe that the people working on her show would have not tried to use her popularity to undercut the president. The progressives are pulling out all stops to turn back the hands of time and restore the damage done by Obama. It seems thou that Roseanne herself may have killed this plan by accident. Her tweet that caused the firestorm may have been her attempt to convince more of the show fans that she was on their side and it backfired. But the Progressive movement has been shattered so badly that they are feeding on each other. President Trump has outsmarted them at almost every turn.

This episode is not over. I just hope that if I am correct in my hypothesis, that it is just another sign that we are closer to draining the Washington swamp to the point where it can never regain this type of power again.

Thoughts from Thursday 01/26/17

2017-01-27T21:08:00.000-05:00

With less than a week in the record books for the new President of the United States in the record books it might be a good time for me to jump back into politics. Since the election, the major population centers of the nation have gone completely loopy. The Progressive Socialist could smell victory. With the passing of the 100 year goal of transferring control of the medical industry into government control it was just a matter of time that they could take total control of the US population. Their control of all the major “news” outlets has been such a huge benefit that how could they lose? So what else for them to do but march, loot, riot, cry, and demand an end to the US electoral system as we know it, of course.

Million Whiner’s March

I was about to name this segment “Whine Lady Whine” however I really didn’t see many “ladies” at the Million Women’s March. Nevertheless, listening to some of the spoiled brat participates; it only demonstrated that they have not lost their ability to whine over not getting what they wanted. From the demonstrations, it appears to me that most of these women have some major daddy issues. Apparently their fathers gave them everything that they wanted and they expect the “big daddy” in Washington to do the same. Of course, what they want to for Hillary Clinton appointed president. Never mind the law or the Constitution.

You still have to admit that many of these poor deluded people really think that they were within the creation of paradise on Earth. You know, just like the Socialist paradise in Cuba or Venezuela. After all President Obama, the news media, and Hollywood have been telling us that we should be aspiring to be more like these nations in the future. Forgetting the fact that such demonstration are forbidden in by dictatorial governments across the world. They think that the freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution are universal.

Oh let us not forget about the featured speakers paraded before the nation. While Michael Moore, Madonna and Ashley Judd hate filled speeches garnered much of the attention, some of the other speakers need more attention. As reported by allenwest.com, the pro-Sharia law activist Linda Sarsour and Donna Hylton involvement raises some serious question about the true goals of the march. Beyond the fact that a major sponsor was Planned Parenthood and their pro-abortion agenda, the mixed message of equal rights just seems disingenuous. What about the rights of the unborn girls, considered an inconvenience or just a choice to be disposed of like so much garbage.

The inclusion of the felon, Donna Hylton should be so much more than troubling to most Americans. However, someone within the group who organized this event has displayed their willingness to support a person who kidnapped, torched, and killed a gay man. These are the people who continually call anyone that oppose their agenda as homophobic, racist, and haters. So the Million Women’s march was nothing more than a day long of rude, crude, and angry women giving the nation a demonstration of how much they hate anyone that disagrees with their desires.

Draining the Swamp

Well it looks as if we now have an administration that is willing to eliminate government waste and bloat. Considering how Washington has become more and more isolated from the reality of the nation governed. It is good to see that it may finally be what many in the Tea Party were demanding since 2008. That finally there may not only be an actual desire, to not only rein in the growth of the Federal Government but to shrink its size. However, we must continue to push for a balanced budget amendment and a plan to pay off the soaring $20 trillion debt. There are those who say that the debt isn’t a problem or that it can never be paid off. Nevertheless, we never know until we try. The policy makers in the past have been wrong too many times and proven to be untrustworthy. It is time for new ideas from outside the government who has repeatedly ignored its Constitutional bounds.

The Media is Dead, Long Live the Media

Please Support Our Sponsors

It is said that in the days of old when a king passed away the people would say; The king is dead! Long live the king! It was a sign of respect for the old king and a way to pledge support for the new king. Since kings are determined by their linage the new king is based upon their right to inherit the kingdom. So that only due to their birthright they were destined to rule. The USA fought a war of revolution to free the nation of such notions. But over time this type of linage thinking has persisted as a matter of course. That is clearly seen in the way that the Left Stream Media seems to see that their organizations have a inherited right to rule through their control of the information presented to the nation. They see themselves as the king makers and destroyers.

The growth of new media has weakened the hold of the media's dominance the news cycle. During the conversion to the 24 news cycle the media has overplayed their hand. Thus shaking the public confidence. Then the emergence of the Internet presented new narratives which they once again overreacted which has further eroded away the trust that gave them so much power in the past. Without the trust of the nation those talking head are just that, talking heads. Very little power but some entertainment value.

After the defeat of the Clintons in November, it is clear that the Left Stream Media wounding is serious. They have been publicly shamed and humiliated. CNN has been a fake news network since almost their creation. It is good to see that not only has new media been proven to have more power than ever expected, it has given us a new channel to bypass the filter put in place by those who have controlled the public discourse for far too long. The so-called news media thinks that they have unlimited power. It is time to end the deceit and deception spread by a government created entertainment monopoly. The protections of free speech in the First Amendment of the Constitution are now perverted into a total control the narrative by a very few members of the Democrat Party. It is clear looking at those who provide the network news are controlled by people only interested in their own power.

Even though there are new means of spreading information, there are those who wish to destroy those means. Much of the fake news put out has come from sources are from agent provocateurs to sow distrust. The news media and the political parties see the threatened of losing their ability to control the narrative. If they are unable to manipulate the message, the people win more freedom. It is easier to control people’s thoughts and actions if they are uninformed, divided, and/or scared. The government-controlled media has had that power for too long. To see our freedoms return we must be able to maintain our ability to communicate without Progressive government or media interference and control. Although the old media is not truly dead it would appear that it is on life support, So I have to say; Long live the new media!

A New Day in America

2017-01-22T19:02:00.000-05:00

Beyond all else, I woke up in an America where a major part of our First Amendment right to free speech has been restored. Today, as proven by the demonstration in Washington on Saturday, Americans can once again disagree with the President of the United States without being called a racist. However, in a strange twist, it seems that if you do not disagree or criticize President Trump, then now you are a racist. It really makes me wonder who the real racist is in this argument. I think I know the answer.

According to those, who have controlled the narrative for far too many years, if you defend yourself, your beliefs, or have any American values you are an evil person. We are not evil people for defending ourselves. We are not evil people for defending our way of life. We are not evil people for loving life and wanting to improve that life. We are not evil for wanting our children and those who come after us to have the same and even more freedoms and, this is the most important part, the responsibilities of a free people.

We have an insurgency in the major population centers of this nation who no longer support the founding principles and traditions of our nation. They no longer care to work toward the common good of the nation as a whole. They want to get “their way.” They only want to impose their will upon the rest of the nation. They have lived under government control for most or all of their lives. They depend on government for so much in their lives; they have lost the basic meaning of what is freedom.

When you live in a cage, you become happy with your captivity. They demand more from government because they fear losing the safety of the cage. Too many trust a faceless, uncaring government bureaucracy more than they do the human beings around them. They have enslaved themselves to the ideas of that perfect socialist society, without understanding the full cost. They just need their streets cleaned and trash removed. What they eat and drink is ultimately determined completely out of their control. The local governments in most cities are determined to forbid their citizens from defending their lives or property. They have been told that guns are the problem not those how use the guns. Hollywood paints a picture of violence that reinforces the notion.

The majority in the urban areas believe that by their sheer numbers alone that they not only absolutely correct in their belief, that they can decide the fate and direction of the nation. That if you live in a rural area, you do not count. A majority of the states not a majority of the population determined the last election. That is the way the founders designed it and I fully support it, since that was the idea behind a republic. The majority that lost are currently throwing something that can only be described as a “tantrum.” Along with this immature display, the anarchist and socialist can use this disorder to create even more disunity in the nation.

I do not know if President Trump can be trusted no more than anyone can fully trust anyone else in public life. I just feel better that maybe, just maybe there will be some real common sense brought back into the government. I can only hope that our government will begin to start protecting the citizens of this nation from enemies from without and within. I hope that we will discontinue the move to globalism, where the government set policies that send American jobs overseas.

For far too many years, governments raised corporate taxes and set overbearing regulations to the point where companies found it easier and more profitable outside of the country. When the Federal Government alone is taking 35% of a company’s profits and told that, they are not paying their “fair share” with no one defends them, why would they not want to leave for another more friendly nation? When they left, they took the jobs with them. The jobs that many Americans need to support their families. The only jobs left paid far less than the jobs that the governmental globalist policy ran away.

I also hope that our government can once again become a Constitutional Government. The 20th century saw the Federal Government overreach their constitutional limits. The growth of that government has caused it to become so removed from the people that I feel that they are no longer a representative government. Far too many of the agencies and government employees are not justified within the confines of our founding document. However, too many people really believe that those agencies are actually involved in what their name implies. Therefore, that makes it harder for a reformer to make the changes that must occur to reestablish our republic. In addition, the large number of government workers makes them a huge voice to push back against any reforms. Not to mention the unions that should have never been allowed to organize government workers.

I pray for our country. I pray for our President. I pray for those who do not agree with me. I pray that we can become that shining city on the hill that everyone want to emulate not invade. We must stop trying to impose “democracy” on the world and show them the way that they can build their own republic. By trying to impose ourselves on the world or trying to buy their friendship, we do nothing that moves the world to a place where humans can live in truly peaceful and prosperous would. However, the promise is there with new leadership in Washington to move us in a new direction.

Anatomy of a Betrayal

2013-11-14T23:00:00.000-05:00

Once again the president has shown that he doesn't understand the limitations of his powers. He took to the podium and declared that private insurance companies would have to offer insurance plans that were in effect canceled 3 years ago. He has become so accustom to getting everything that he desires from Congress, the Left Stream Media, or through Executive Orders that he doesn't believe there are any limits on his power. But with the collapse of his approval ratings he is finding out that more members of Congress are getting a backbone and standing up to him. Many of his opponents now smell blood in the water and are attempting and take advantage of the situation.

One of the problems with those who are now coming forward and attacking, is that they don’t realize that much of that blood is their own. Sen. McCain is now calling for Obamacare to be repealed. This from the man who nearly broke his neck in a rush to the Senate floor to do Harry Reid’s bidding and denounced Sen. Cruz for simply asking to defund or delay the ACA. McCain, McConnell and the rest of the GOP Progressive wing were quite happy to see Americans suffer under the individual mandate and the projected failure of this monstrosities train wreck of a law. Of course these members of the GOP how had no problem lying to their constituencies and betraying promises they made, to get themselves reelected, suddenly found that their hypocrisy had been exposed. Now they want to claim that they were all along for repealing the law while not just a month ago they were supporting it. The establishment betrayal of the Tea Party and their promises are no less than that of the Democrats in Congress and the President. I say a pox on both houses. The Progressives of both parties only wish to maintain power and control. They are not interested in what is best for the people or the nation.

Many Red State Democrat Senators are in a panic for a very good reason. They are looking for ways to salvage what remains of their political careers. Senators Landau and Hagan were totally on board with the, if there was ever one this is it, Oxymoron law known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind, that looks at what has been presented, that this law doesn't protect anyone and is not affordable by any measure. The dangers of Identity Theft are so great that anyone who signs up under the law should lay awake at night wondering when they will be cleaned out by some crooked Obamacare Navigator. With the now shrinking insurance pool the idea that anyone’s premiums are going down is a pipe dream. These Senators now want to deny that, not only did they vote for the ACA, but also voted against the bill that would have protected people’s current health insurance in 2010. They knew at that time that Obamacare is dependent upon moving everyone into the exchanges. Anything else will cause it to collapse due to an imbalance in the insurance pool.

The root of the problems lies in the Progressive assumption that bigger is better and that Technocrats can run something better than an industry with centuries of experience. They looked at numbers and thought that they were the smartest people in the world and could do better. It’s not the first time that this has happened but this is the largest failure of its type. Arrogance and stupidity are a very dangerous mixture. The whole idea seems plausible as long as you don’t get too deep into the details. I honestly believe that the technocrats in Washington really believed that they could take over the healthcare system and make it better for everyone. They should have realized from the beginning that it would fail when so many exemptions were required to get it passed. But they were so determined to succeed in a goal that had alluded Progressives for over 100 years, they were not going to accept defeat until they experimented on the entire country at once.

The grand lie that is causing so much trouble, and it is a lie, was the ("If you like your plan/doctor, you can keep your plan/doctor. Period") lie. The America people, in general disagreement with what most Progressives say, are generous and forgiving people. We pull for the underdog. We want to help those who need help. The part they really underestimated was the part about self-preservation. They really believed that they could tell us that we could keep out plans/doctors and that we would overlook the lie once they delivered cheaper, better plans through the exchanges. But this is where the wheels came off. They really thought that the cult of personality and the "likeability" of President Obama could transfer to Obamacare and the majority would continue to support it until any small bugs were worked out. They were expecting the technology to work. They thought that the prices would not cause sticker shock. They expected the major parts of the plan to go without any problems.

When they had to start hiding the true prices at the eleventh hour it caused major technical problems for those building healthcare.gov. They also put their faith into crony capitalism to select the company to build their web portal. This provided the first signs of what problems were to come. Then when the expected cancelation notices started hitting people’s mailboxes and there were not any cheaper alternatives. (The rules set forth for the policies are so broad that it is impossible to guarantee cheaper rates plus the promised web site is broken.) This has caused enough doubt that it has taken away the goodwill that many would have given the president. Even with his obvious lies. Their plan required everything to work out as planned, but never had any hope of working. The perfection that the Progressives seek does not allow for the human factor. The desire and overriding expectations of perfection of the architects all but guaranteed failure for the whole enterprise from its inception. Everything had to work on time without failure to keep the illusion alive in the eyes of the American people and to hide the underlying betrayal of trust that the system was built upon.

But after the great Obama lie, which caused most Americans to not question the law, the implementation didn't go as planned. The Obamacare's handlers were presented some cold hard facts. Many of their assumptions were proven wrong. Instead of listening to any criticism, they decided that they had all the answers. Now looking back, most of the predictions by the critics from 3 to 5 years ago have become facts. So this totally partisan law, being implemented in a totally partisan manner is taking a heavy toll on the partisans who passed it. It is also showing many Americans how corrupt both parties have become, by shining a lot of sun light on Washington politics.

Their assumption was that they could actually grow the failed and bloated single payer system (Medicare and Medicaid) to replace the current system by creating a controlled crash. They wanted this plan to fail, but they wanted the blame to go toward the industry, not the government. The overriding thought seemed to be that through force of will, people would overlook the flawed new system mainly because of their love for the president. That seems to be the turning point in this whole tragedy. The president told his lies. People believed him and went back to their daily lives of trying to survive. The law was pushed through with many of his true supporters not even knowing what it meant to them. Now suddenly they find that the promise was a lie. Too many have started to look at all the other things that have happened and were overlooked. They have to be wondering about other promises.

The president’s cornerstone accomplishment was sold with lies and deception. This laser like focus on Obamacare could be the death nail for his presidency. Already Congressmen are now looking at moving forward with impeachment of Eric Holder. Could they next be looking at overturning his executive orders? For a president who once seemed to have no boundaries or limits on the amount of power he could grab, things have changed quickly. His seemingly iron grip on power doesn't seem so secure. His rush to transform the nation may have caused him to overplay his hand. Likeability and charm only go so far. His constant campaigning may have kept his face in the minds of his truly loyal believers. His leadership skills have never been as good as his ability to transfix crowds at campaign rallies. Sooner or later he had to show something for all the promises. What he showed was that he was no different than any other politician. But he was much better when it came to telling lies to those who trusted him the most to protect them.

This is becoming a crisis of confidence in Mr. Obama. He has gone to the well too many times. It is one thing to promise something that is impossible, when most people realize it and give you credit for trying, it is another when your broken promise directly damages a large segment of the population. As I said before; we are a generous people and we want to help those who cannot help themselves, but most Americans are going only so far down that road. When government policies start to affect our mortality and long term health we awaken. One of the major goals of the Tea Party was to oppose the government takeover of our healthcare system. Many Americans didn't want Obamacare to fail; they knew that it would fail. The math and reality don’t match up. They chose to not just ignore, but attack and attempt to discredit anyone who disagreed with their plan. They truly believe that the ends justify the means. In this case we see that the ends are not matching up to what was promised or expected.

The idea that millions of Americans could and will be hurt by this plan is not something that I desire. But there have been too many lies told about the goals of it to believe anything good would ever come from its implementation. The denial of “Death Panel” that now is commonly known to exist under this law, which will select what treatments will be allowed and will all but condemning people to death through neglect, calls into question the true goals of anyone involve. It is time for a public apology to Sarah Palin for all the lies told about her as she pointed out the flaws is long overdue.

We find ourselves betrayed by too many people in our government. This was a total betrayal that cannot be easily forgiven. They put policy goals and politics ahead of caring for those they serve. Their goals took away one of the basic freedoms that most people see as sacred. They took away people’s right to decide their own fate. A free person has the right to decide how we live, what chances we take, and who decides our basic life and death decisions. Life is dangerous. We make life altering choices every day. I don’t think a cold and uncaring government, who will tell me any lie to get its way, is going to make the right choices for me. It is my life and there are too many things I can’t control, but I want to have some say in the decisions of how I spend my money and what chances I’m willing to take. It is not the job of Obama or the Progressives in Congress to decide for me.

They have overstepped their authority and endangered people’s lives to implement a half-baked plan created by amateurs who thought they could take a complex system and improve it by making it more complex and designed by people who didn't understand how the system worked before they tore it down. They thought they could save a system from going bankrupt by bankrupting the entire healthcare system. They underestimate the American people and how we would react to a betrayal that goes to the heart of what it means to be alive. This betrayal is one that I hope will at last wake up enough Americans to what we have lost and who is stealing it from us. The ultimate betrayal is that those who are sent to serve us in Washington have taken it upon themselves to decide that they can run our lives by lying to us.

If You Like Your Nation…

2013-11-03T20:58:00.000-05:00

Well we are now into 5 years of the fundamental transformation promised to you by President Obama. One of the first promises of the newly elected president was his promise to fundamentally transform the nation. This is unlike his other promises to the public don’t seem to be as much a priority in his mind. My overriding question at the moment would be: How’s that transformation going for you? As more and more Americans lose their preferred healthcare insurance and/or their doctors we’re seeing what that transformation will lead to in the future. The elites in Washington and the Progressive planners have shown that their vision of a country run for the elites and their cronies may not be the vision of many Americans. It is not what I was to believe was the American Dream. It is more of a nightmare than a dream.

For years the Federal Government has meddled in the healthcare systems of the states. It started with the imposition of Medicare and then Medicaid payments based upon government formulas, not the reality of delivering necessary lifesaving medical procedures. Through the growth of medical knowledge things that only a few years ago that were thought to be impossible are now relatively common. The idea that just because something can be done makes it something that the masses of people need forgets a major factor. Although medical procedures are possible, it requires highly talented and knowledgeable PEOPLE to do these things. If there is a shortage of these types of people you can not just go out and create them out of whole cloth. It requires more that training, it requires a high intelligence and skills not possessed by everyone.

But the government thinks that they can go into the market place and require certain things and that by fiat their orders will be carried out. It is easy when you are detached from reality to think that laws that are passed with little or no debate will actually change human behavior. It is easy to mandate change, but much harder to actually have mandates that are impractical or impossible to be implemented. It is easy to spend other people’s money or to tell other people how to live if you are not under the same constraints. Why else would Congress exempt themselves and their staff from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obamacare? They are within the top wage earners in the nation, but they decided that they could not afford it. Sure they say that the poorest among us will get subsidies or will be put on Medicaid. The only problem with that plan is that they are still spending other people’s money with no thought as to how it will be paid for in the end.

It is very easy for a millionaire to sit in Washington and decide what you must, not can, afford for your healthcare premium. They have taken it upon themselves to determine you budget. They’ve decided what type of care or lack of care you deserve. They’ve ignored warnings about doctor shortages. They are willing to endanger the safety and wellbeing of the nation as a whole to push a 100 year old Progressive agenda. They have an agenda that says that they can build a perfect world by enslaving everyone to their demented ideas. They believe that although it may take time, that they can force everyone to comply and fall into step behind them and march into a bright future. This would be a grand idea to make a better world but in the past it has always ended it tragedy.

The forced sterilizations of the first half of the 20th century are now looked upon as a mistake, but have been replaced by other eugenic programs with similar goals. The mass abortion push that has occurred since the Roe v. Wade decision of the US Supreme Court has been sold throughout the nation as a woman’s right to choose. But it is still eugenics pushed by an organization known as Planned Parenthood and is a still, no matter how much it is denied, a major component of the misnamed Obamacare. The Progressives idea of building a perfect society can only be obtained through population control and genetics.

The so-called “war on women” used by the Democrats in 2012 was a war on our children. They have played upon the greed and envy of many Americans. Their overspending to buy votes through government programs and welfare are master strokes that play upon the selfishness of the average Democrat voter. They are spending the future of our children and condemning them to a life of debt to pay for our generation desire to live above our means. While the politicians make their political supporters rich.

They know that they can play upon the emotions of their base to tell them what they want to hear and give them whatever they want to get them to blindly follow. Their belief that the ends justify the means allows for corruption beyond anything seen before on a national level. This has not only changed the nature of the nation, it has redefined civility. Now a civil tone is when you are either lying about your opponent or making threats and attempting to intimidate anyone opposed to looting the treasury.

It is amazing how one party has embraced voter fraud to such an extent that they no longer fear not only being caught, but that there will ever be any backlash. As long as the corruption is so deep within a political party the dangers of uncontrolled corruption may have already grown too far to be turned back. With the wiling compliance of the media the possibility of true reform becomes remote. There are attempts to reinstate voter IDs in many states, even though the corruption is well within the Department of Justice and courts to the point that these actions may be declared illegal. If voter ID laws are overturned by the Democrat operatives within the government then there is no hope for the United States. Our republic dies once there is no longer even the resemblance of an opposition party. Don’t get me wrong, in many ways there is no longer an opposition party. The Republican leadership by far is more concerned with befriending and compromising with the Democrats, including supporting every Progressive policy put forth, than acting in opposition to this corruption of the system.

I hope that all is not lost. The American people have begun to awaken to the threat from Washington. But I fear it maybe too little too late. There are so many who look to the government for too much. Too many have sold their souls to servitude to the state. It is hard to convince people that they should turn down “free” stuff when they no longer have the desire to make a change. The Progressives have had such a large head start and are so entrenched in the government that it is a huge task to dislodge them and shutdown so many leaches on our society. Too many people now believe that only the government can provide the solutions to our problems. That is where the rollout of the ACA could be a stepping stone to a real solution.

The failure of healthcare.gov is a golden opportunity to point out the glaring incompetence of the Progressive system. With the overreach of the Democrats to try and take on such a massive task as the takeover of the healthcare system there is an opportunity to beat them at their own game. It is important that people understand that the root of the cause of the problem is the government. They are the ones who attack the free market to begin with and did not allow the normal ebb and flow of the market to correct and adjust. The government’s court system, the bar system, and lawyers allowed and sometimes encouraged lawsuits that crippled and corrupted the medical system. There has been for a long time too much interference in the practice of medicine where it should have not been. On the other side there has been little or no government oversight of the abortion industry which has been supported by the Progressives as if it had nothing to do with the practice of the medical arts. The change will have to come from within and without the government. It may not be too late, but time is running out at a fast pace.

So no Mr. Obama did say: If you like your nation, you can keep your nation. For that would have been as a big a lie as the one about keeping your current doctor and healthcare. He most definitely has no plans to allow you to keep your doctor, healthcare, or your nation. When he said that he was going to fundamentally transform the nation, he meant it. Healthcare was just the beginning. If he is allowed a third term or Hillary Clinton is elected in 2016 then by 2020 there will be no United States of America as we know it. There will be a one party dictatorship run by crony billionaires who will be so far above the law that the rest of us will no longer matter. Even if Obama or Clinton loses and a Progressive Republican is elected the process will only slow slightly. By 2020 or 2024 the ending will still be the same. But by 2016 we may already be too far gone to pull back any of the damage done by this current regime on both sides of the aisle.

Watching Train Wrecks

2013-10-30T22:09:00.000-04:00

The phrase you should never forget in politics is: Always watch the other hand. Yes while everyone is occupied with all the problems with healthcare.gov too many are not looking at what else is happening in DC. It is true that the so-called disaster of the web site looks bad; it appears that this is nothing but a smokescreen to cover their next major intuitive that #POTUS announce. His next push was for immigration reform with amnesty. Yes. He and his willing allies in both parties are getting ready to push through another surprise bill in the dead of the night to fulfill his promise. With Obamacare holding everyone’s attention it should be easy to sail it through the House with not much more than a whimper.

Sure the traitor Marco Rubio has come out and condemned his own bill, but he is only trying to regain his support in the Tea Party. It doesn’t matter what he says, the bill has been passed by the Senate. It only takes a few procedural maneuvers by supporters in the House and suddenly the Democrats will have millions of new voters. If they can buy the votes of all those new citizens, it doesn’t matter about Obamacare failures or the so-called plan by the establishment GOP, there will be no repeal or for that matter no Obamacare. We will all be transitioned to Medicare or Medicaid. Of course the elites in Congress and their rich supporters will still have their private healthcare plans, but the rest of us will be stuck with doctor shortages, cut rate care, and death panels.

So when you’re wondering about how such a disastrous web site could ever be launched that has attracted so much negative publicity and the administration really doesn’t seem that upset about it. Just remember that it doesn’t matter. It is all part of the plan to obtain yet another victory for the president and the Democrats. They are playing for keeps. They see a path to single party rule and they are doing everything that they can do to turn our nation into a Progressive Dictatorship. With the collaboration of the Progressive Republicans they are ready to take total control in very short order.

Can we stop them? That is hard to say. The establishment leadership of the GOP is in bed with the Democrats. They no longer represent the country. They represent the wishes of the power brokers in Washington DC. We stand at the edge of the cliff. We as loyal Americans may have ignored the actions of our elected representatives for so long and not kept our eyes on their actions that we will lose our republic and the last of our freedoms within the year. Too many have called out the warnings for too many years and we’ve either laughed at or ignored them. The time to ignore passed a long time ago. But the rise of the Tea Party may have come too late. The traitors and collaborators were already in place, just waiting for the right moment to come.

If there is an immigration bill passed in the same manner as Obamacare, with no debate that includes blanket amnesty, then the nation will have received a fatal blow that will require radical surgery to repair, but there is no way of knowing if even that will save the nation. Time is running out fast. Those who we thought would protect us and the Constitution are ready to betray us. We must act now to try and head off this new train wreck before it is too late.

Chess, Checkers, or Poker

2013-10-20T11:51:00.000-04:00

For many of the people in politics they spend their lives playing games. They’re constantly jockeying for positions and positioning themselves for power. The games they play can and do have different degrees of effect on the population as a whole. Some good and some bad, but sometimes the most benign policies can have the most devastating effects. These plays for power can be even more dangerous when the goals of those playing the game are hidden or obscured by lies and political trickery. It is not surprising to me that during the height of the so called government shutdown the Congress declared that week National Chess Week. Most people did not understand the message that they were sending. They were telling the political class that they were beginning to play a game with the nation.

After the last election the Democrat party made no secret to the fact that their goal was to destroy the Republican Party. They seem to be doing a good job of it. This would create by default a single party system. There is another name for single party rule. It is called a DICTATORSHIP. One of the first acts of a dictatorship is to eliminate all opposition and outlaw other political parties. Dictators do not negotiate. Dictators do not compromise. Dictators rule through force of will, executive orders, and thug tactics. They suppress any opposition through any means available. They play both chess and poker by both planning their moves far in advance and then executing them or if that fails they bluff their opponent into caving.

The greatest danger of a person who is an egomaniac and has sociopathic tendencies is that you don’t know how far they will go to obtain their goal of total power. It is very possible that they will take a scorched Earth tactic that says: if I can’t have it, no one will. This was the danger warned about with the latest debt ceiling debate. There was a justifiable fear that Mr. Obama would violate the Fourth Amendment and refuse to meet the physical and financial obligations of the nation in order to through the world into chaos. Only an anarchist or dictator would be willing to punish those who he was elected and serve in such a manner.

But let’s also consider that the leadership of the Democrat Party is not as egotistical or sociopathic as it seems. True they had no problem shutting down the government and doing unnecessary things to elevate the pain of the American people. From closing the White House tours due to the Sequester to Barrycading national monuments to closing private businesses and evicting people from private homes due to the so-called government shutdown. They wasted a lot of money to punish people to place the blame on the Tea Party. The Democrat Party leadership went as far as closing overlooks on state highways just to inconvenience vacationers and the random traveler. It was enough to convince a lot of people that with the threats of default being used by not only the president but by the leaders in both parties it could have happened. Yes there were Republicans repeating the threat and not pointing out that it would be a violation of the Constitution for the government to not pay its obligations or that Social Security is self-funded from the SSI trust fund and by law, payments must be made. But that didn’t stop the threats or the fear that this government would ignore the law and The Constitution. It’s not like anyone in any of the leadership positions seem to show any concern for their oath of office.

Checkers
It appears that the leadership of the Republican Party is happy to help the president and Democrats with that goal by destroying the support for the party among its base in the general population. Without popular support and a loyal party base there is no way they can win. The establishment GOP has not only abandoned their base. They have alienated some of their strongest supporters.

The leadership of the GOP is either extremely stupid or they are in league with the Democrats. There is no doubt that the Republican Party has no love for the Tea Party. They see them as interlopers who are interfering with the finely tooled machinery of Washington. How many times have you heard John McCain or another leader within the GOP talk about how this is not the way we do things in Washington? Yes GOP attempted to take over one of the largest Tea Party support organization, Freedom Works. They’ve worked hard to discredit and discourage members of other organizations because they consider them a threat, not to the nation, but to the power structure of the GOP.

So it seems to some people that the Democrats are playing Chess while the GOP has been playing Checkers. Well I really don’t know if it is that simple. Yes the Democrats want to destroy the Republicans but that would be too dangerous for them until they can take complete control of the nation as a whole. As long as they need an antagonist they want to keep the GOP alive but very sickly. They need an adversary to blame all the bad things that occur. The Democrats still must worry about the state governments. Although they have a strangle hold on Washington, with a very accommodating opposition party, there are state governments that are not falling in line. For your average tyrannical government this is not a problem, but time may not be on their side as long as there is a strong grass roots effort opposing their goals.

It now seems that the kabuki theater in the District of Columbia over the budget battle and the debt ceiling has been won by the Democrats and a major lose for the Tea Party. It seems that way because the media and the political leaders of both parties are busy blaming them for all the trouble over the government budget issues. But is it possible that both parties have overplayed their hands? Could it be that they were only bluffing themselves? Could it be that too many of these so called leaders have spent too much time in government and lost touch with the populace? It is too early to tell, but the idea that we are still back in the 90s when the major networks had a total monopoly on the information given to the public is a bit naive. There are forces at work that make the political games very important to all Americans. Will the GOP and Democrats win their games? Well I don’t know, but it is not a game when you are talking about the lives of millions of people.

The ideas that made this nation the greatest in the world were freedom to succeed or fail by controlling our own destinies. There are people awake to the destruction of our way of life and they want it stopped. We are tired of the corruption in Washington. We want leaders who will protect our rights, not look for ways to circumvent them. We want respect for our views, not condescension from a self-appointed ruling class that uses their power and influence to become millionaires and then use it to solidify their power. We need to remove this every growing government that thinks they know how to run our lives while they run their own. It is time to stop playing games with the middle class, buying off the poor with empty promises that only keep them poor and enrich the rich.

No matter the game being played by the politicians in our capitals, they win and we lose. It is time for a change. We need to realize that the system is not a two party system. It is a one party system playing all of us for fools. It is time to put an end to their games. It is time to look for new leadership that will return us to the original intent of those who created this nation and made it great. It is time for free people to once again be free. It is time for We The People to end the games that are being played by the politicians, no matter if it's Chess, Checkers, of Poker.

Stumbling Across the World Stage

2013-09-09T21:10:00.000-04:00

So Mr. Obama has been "bailed out" by Russia? It seems to me that he still has a lot of egg on his face. He spent so much time keeping score on the golf course, he lost track of keeping score on the world stage. It would be nice to think that he learned a lesson. A good one would be: that it takes more than a good sounding speech to accomplish anything of meaning. He should also be able to understand that he is not always the smartest person in the room. It is fairly plain that this is a man who doesn't understand the job he holds.

Now before I make the next statement I will say that I'm not now or have never been a birther. There is no doubt that Mr. Obama was born to an American citizen (his mother) no matter where she was located at the time of his birth. His father may or may not have been a citizen, but that really doesn't play into the argument. If one parent is a citizen and the other is not, then he may have dual citizenship and one of the is citizen of the United States. Anyone who subscribes to the birther theory is buying into the racist tactics of the Hillary Clinton campaign of 2008.

Being a citizen alone is not enough to qualify anyone to be President of the United States. There is no doubt that he was, no matter where he was born, raised outside of the nation. He went to Muslim schools. His lessons were not on American History. He didn't play football or Pledge of Allegiance to the United States. In the famous picture of him on stage and not saluting the flag should come as a surprise to no one. He may have not known that that was the appropriate thing to do, but it didn't hurt him with his base, since they didn't see it for what it was and didn't understand its importance to the nation.

So now our culturally ignorant president, raised in a foreign nation, being propped up by an sycophant and accomplice media and political party has failed a very important test on the world stage. He has shown not only a complete incompetency but his normal disengagement. But when you threaten acts of war it should never be taken lightly. An unfortunately the president has shown from the beginning an air of aloofness and arrogance that doesn't win friends or convince allies to support you.

So it appears that Mr. Obama will walk away with something he could declare as a victory, but it has sent a message to our allies and enemies. That message is of weakness and incompetency. Let's hope the next crisis comes after he leaves office and his replacement has better leadership skill. Or at least someone who understand more about the nation, its history, and the legacy left by those who laid down their lives to defend it.

RHIP

2013-07-20T22:10:00.000-04:00

If you’ve ever been, known someone, or lived with anyone in the military then you should have heard of RHIP or Rank Has Its Privileges. This comes some cold hard truths. The higher your rank the more important you are to the success of the whole. Officers can do things that enlisted personal cannot. At each level up the more privilege an officer will be able to access. This is also true in civil and political life.

But with privilege comes another something else. RHIR or Rank Has Its Responsibilities. One of my favorite movie scenes is from Ben-Hur. It is were Judah Ben-Hur stands before Pontius Pilate and is meet at the bottom of the steps to his throne. He comes to him as a friend and warns him that if he will only go back to Rome he will not punish him. But once he climbs the steps, he is no longer his friend but the representative of the Roman Empire. We select people every 2, 4, or 6 years to represent not only us, but to protect the nation and the laws that guarantee the safety and security over the long term.

Our elected officials are just citizen servants charged with the assume responsibility. They should not only be looking at the needs of the present, but also considering the future. Today too many of the people serving in Washington seem to be looking more to the next election or next year then the ramification of their decisions made today. This short sightedness can lead to disaster. Not only their legislation but their words are very important.

The President holds a very special position in this nation. He helps to set the example for the nation and by his words alone can make dramatic changes to the culture. President Obama was elected as much of an unknown to many of those who voted for him. Mr. Obama like any president is responsible for holding the nation’s people together, to comfort them in times of trouble, and console them in times of need, hardship, or disaster. But he has failed at every attempt to do so.

We are a nation of minorities but the president seems to favor one minority of all the others. At every opportunity that he has had to calm the nation he has instead seemed to gladly divide us. This is such an epic failure. But many of those he choices to pander to are more than willing to not only accept it, but seem to love the division created. Since his election he is quite willing to play down to the lowest common denominator in our society. It is easy to understand why those who are protesting the death of a person by looting and rioting are not interested in the law or equal justice. They only see an opportunity to commit crimes with the blessing of those in power.

Those whose jobs requires the protection of the innocent citizens must make sure that those willing to ignore the rules of a civil society are not encouraged by their actions. No matter if you agree with what you are doing or not the needs of the many do outweigh the wants of the few. The President has and continues to fail every time he makes inflammatory statements to incite violence.

We must find leaders who are willing to not only protect the nation from enemies from without but from within. When leaders no longer are willing to make the hard choice and serve only their narrow minded objectives, then we as a people will not be a nation for much longer. The violence in the streets being promoted and applauded by many who claim leadership roles are not what is best for our nation. Before this cold race war becomes a hot race war, those who are pushing it should really look at will could be gained and lost. It is not always the leaders of the revolution who wind up in power. Minority armies even with the support of the government may find that they are just pawns in a bigger game.

It is time for those in Washington and around the nation to step up, take responsibility, and do their jobs. Or we as a people must band together to restore law and order to our nation before it collapses under its own weight.

Dear Senator Marco Rubio

2013-04-18T20:25:00.000-04:00

I'm sorry Senator Rubio but I don't trust the people you have been keeping company with recently. Why should I believe that passing a new law is going to make a difference and fix our broken immigration system? The government has not been enforcing the current laws so I don't believe it when you or anyone else in the government says that "this new law" will fix the problem.

There have been too many lies for many Americans to trust that the perpetually reelected Senators McCain, Chuck Schumer, and the other members of the gang of eight are really interested in fixing the problem. Too many lies have poisoned the well. I understand why you want to fix the nation's immigration problem by working with other Senators, but many of the people who put you there don't want to see your reputation soiled by the people who have betrayed us for so long.

To enter into an honest negotiation you must be able to trust everyone on both sides of the table. Sir I believe you have fallen in with a pack of thieves, liars, and cutthroats. Please don't think that you can expect support from me or any other conservative by falling into a trap that will only weaken the nation. It does no good to say that a new law will close the border when the current law requires the same thing. There is no will on Capital Hill or at the White House to fix the problem. Selling out in hopes that somehow this time it will work is a pipe dream. We need honest brokers in government who will stand up for the law.

I feel that you have been used to so that your name will sway the vote, due to the support you received from the Tea Party. That support for you could disappear and the hopes of many patriotic American will be damaged.

Please sir don't betray our trust in you. Be an honest broker of our trust and don't allow your name to be used to support another bill that will give the government cover. We must control our borders and protect our nation, But until we are able to find more honorable people who will actually protect the nation this is an issue that will not be settled.

I know that you feel that you can make it where the law will be carried out as intended. But if history tells us anything, it tells us that those who enforce the law will only go as far I they are required. In the case to the current administration, I have no doubt that they will ignore in the same manner as the past administrations. Don't make a rookie mistake that will cost you and the nation more than we can afford. So sir please reconsider your support of the "immigration reform" legislation.

Don’t be a victim of Sandy Hook

2013-01-19T14:55:00.001-05:00

January 19, 2013 was Gun Appreciation Day. It was in response to the outcry from the Left Stream Media, Sen. Feinstein, Barack Obama, and the normal cast of gun grabbers. After the shootings at Sandy Hook the media has pushed and the government has worked to disarm the American people. Now I know that the overall answer to this is: “No one is talking about gun confiscation.” But that is a lie. There are way too many people in power who have talked about it. This is a standard Progressive dodge and lie. I’ve seen this type of thing happen over and over again. I’ve seen people talk about something, get called on it, and then deny that they were talking about what they just said. There are many tricks that these misguided and uninformed people use to push their agenda. But they are pushing very hard to obtain, what is without a doubt, a major infringement on the Constitution and the rights enshrined within.

This is such a shameful example of overreach that it must not go unanswered. The direct attack on one of the oldest and largest civil rights organizations in the nation is slanderous and dangerous. The NRA has been maligned and misrepresented to the point that far too many people believe the lies over the truth. Too many people are unwilling to do their own research and choose to believe lies about an organization that promotes gun safety and education. But education is not something that the media and gun grabbers want. They prefer that the average citizen is ignorant. It is harder to manipulate and control people if they only listen to one source of information. They only believe lies and distrust who they are told to distrust. This puts not only our freedoms but our live in jeopardy as people turn their lives and safety to people only want to manipulate and control them.

It is plan that too many in the media and government are not only willing to bath in the blood of the innocent victims of Sandy Hook, but are willing to dance on their graves. They are willing to use the emotions of the moment to convince people to accept policies that have nothing to do with protecting children, but push their misguided agenda in the name of protection. But we must not let those failed policies and mistakes of the past to be repeated. We cannot allow them to “fix” problems that do not exist and ignore the rights of all Americans. We must not allow them to make us all victims of the madman who murder innocent people. For if we allow the gun grabbers repeat the mistakes made in Chicago, Detroit, and New York we will all become defenseless and victims of anyone wishing to harm our families. We cannot allow the elites who surround themselves with armed guards take away one of our basic freedoms. They are talking confiscation in places we are not hearing. They are putting policies in place that will make that easier. They are trying to convince a majority of American that if you respect the Constitution and the Second Amendment then there is something wrong with you.

Don’t let them laugh you into submission. Don’t turn your back on a fundamental right of We The People. Don’t become another victim of Sandy Hook.

Living In Fantasy Land

2012-12-21T00:04:00.000-05:00

In the 1950s Walt Disney dreamed of an amusement park. “It was a vision of a place where children and parents could have fun together.” This dream was realized in the creation of Disneyland. Within Disneyland one of the popular sections is Fantasyland. Fantasyland was created with the goal to "make dreams come true" from the lyrics of "When You Wish Upon a Star." It is good for the human condition to, on occasion, relieve the stress of everyday life and indulge in relaxation. But it is very unhealthy to live your life divorced from reality.

It is very frightening to realize how many adults seem to live in a fantasyland that they have created. The Progressive movement and the New Age Religion have encouraged this type of delusional thinking. A major idea behind Progressive thinking is the idea that man can create a perfect world. The belief that man can find a way to change the world to fit their image of perfection should make everyone worry. What happens to those who do not fit their mold? Just what will happen to those who don’t match or agree with the prefect image created by those in power? How far will this totalitarian regime go to control this perfect world? What price will have to be paid by those who think differently?

To demonstrate such thinking you only need to look at what people are saying about the terrible shootings in Newtown, Connecticut. Before the victims had been removed from the school house, people were already wallowing in the blood. They wasted no time to start blaming the violence on guns and demanding new gun control laws. It doesn’t matter that this tragic event had nothing to do with guns or so-called “assault” weapons. This entire affair falls directly on the shoulders of government and misguided gun laws. The laws now being proposed in Congress are the reaction of blood thirsty politicians who were just waiting for the next mass killing to manipulate the emotions of the American People. They wasted no time to dance out and propose new laws and attempt to undo (dare I say it) progress made over the last few years to undo the damage done by the gun grabbers in the past. Many are being misled into believing lies, half-truths, and misinformation about the cause of this tragic attack by a coward.

There is the idea that we would all be safer if all guns were taken out of the hands of American Citizens. The idea comes right out of fantasy land. Those who live in this fantasy land believe that the problem is the guns. That anyone who owns a gun should be considered a criminal. The idea that anyone would ever need to engage in self-defend is a crazy notion. They believe that somehow we can put all of the evil in the world back into Pandora’s Box. They see guns as the root of evil and that without guns people would not kill one another. Well that is simply crazy. Guns are not the problem. Yes we do live in a society that has violence in it. But that is the nature of a free society. We must accept some violence but we must also be able to fight violence with violence. That is what self-defense is all about. Guns are not the only device that can be used to mortally wound another person. But that really is not the point. Man alone cannot end man’s inhumanity to man.

As the Progressive / Democrats have moved to outlaw gun possession in this country, crime increased. Now as states have undone the anti-gun laws and instituted concealed carry laws, the crime rate has decreased. In many cases this is due to those who might consider robbing someone, are now uncertain of who might be ready, willing, and able to fight back. A potential victim may be well armed and willing to use it. The biggest problem with the implementation of these laws, and the ones that came before, is the creation of free-fire/killing zones. The most glaring are educational institutions. If I walk into a school building, or any place that does not allow concealed-carry, I know that all the law abiding people in there are unarmed. Unless there is an armed police officer or security guard, the criminal feels free to create as much mayhem as they wish. If they are suicidal then they can go down in a blaze of glory with the Left Stream Media more than willing to give them the notoriety they desire. But if there is the possibility that their potential victims will fight back, their blaze of glory will turn into a short lived news flash, soon forgotten.

Almost every morning millions of parents send their children off to government run schools. In the fall parents send their teenager off to government regulated colleges. These schools and colleges should be safe. But the government has failed in their primary responsibility because politicians refuse to admit that they were wrong. By preventing the trained professionals who are committed to not only teaching but protecting their daily charges, they created an environment that welcomed the type of events that have occurred in Newtown and other educational institutions in this nation. By not trusting the educators to protect their charges they created an environment that allowed this coward to walking and kill at will. I will not use the name of any coward that commits mass murder to gain fame. By creating schools that are “gun free” the state welcomed anyone so inclined, to have no fear of meeting any resistance as they carry out whatever senseless act they wish. Sandy Hook Elementary School’s only protection was a locked door. There was nothing else standing in the coward’s way that could even slow him down. This is a failure of government and the politicians who promised to keep our children safe. This is not the fault of educators as a whole. Many of them feel responsible for their students and would do anything to protect them. You need to look no further than the heroics of those adults killed at Sandy Hook.

I’m an educator. After the murders at Virginia Tech, there were those of us that hoped that those in power would see the danger created by not allowing educators the ability to defend our students. But all the talk was about gun control and improving security plans. (It is easy to see how security plans fall apart.) Yes, many schools studied the murders at VT and put in new procedures, but few really made any major changes. After a while most administrators simply forgot or moved on to other projects. Little has changed on many campuses that would stop the type of death and destruction seen at VT.

Now I know that the detractors will say: That we can’t trust teachers to actually carry and use firearms in a school. But why can we not trust them? Why haven’t we already had an educator who opened fire on their students? As it has been said many times; murder is illegal. So what is stopping any person who wants to kill from carrying out that crime? If you are going to murder someone in a public place, you are not going to care about whether or not it is illegal to possess a firearm. So yes we actually have to trust law abiding citizens who are charged with the protection of innocent children, young and in many cases adults.

I’m not saying that you should arm every educator in the nation, no more that everyone in the country should be forced to wear a gun all the time. What I’m saying: is that we should remove the label free-fire zone from our schools and make sure that a coward will never feel comfortable with the idea that they can walk into any educational institution and kill at will. We should never have children huddled, defenseless, in a closet waiting for a cowardly madman to take their lives. It is time to take action to stop limiting guns, but improve access to the guns that are needed by law abiding citizens. Any move to disarm the nation will leave everyone at the mercy of the next madman who wishes to impose his will or kill us outright. The Progressive anti-gun lobby would have us all cowering, defenseless like the victims at Sandy Hook.

So, no we are unable to stop all violence. We cannot live in a perfect world as the Progressives wish. We must demand some answers to one very important question. What do they do with those who don’t fit or accept their definition of “perfect?” The last attempts at creating perfect societies were major human disasters. I can name three off the top of my head:

1. Jonestown
2. Pol Pot’s Cambodia
3. Adolf Hitler’s Germany.

All ended badly in mass murder. But don’t forget about Stalin’s Soviet Union and Mao’s China. Each killed millions and still didn’t fulfill the stated goal. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

I don’t want to live in a world controlled by those who would try to create a “Brave New World” on the bodies of millions of their victims. This is a disaster that would make the Sandy Hook killings look more like a happy day at the park. There is nothing perfect about that world. That is not a fantasy land, it is a nightmare. Don’t forget that man is not perfect and any attempt to create perfection will not end well. We must live in a reality that does not always fit our idea of how we desire to live, but it beats living under the total control a tyrant who is willing to kill millions just to satisfy they desires.

We live in a very dangerous world. We need the people in positions of influence to not be delusional. But in the hours following the last few tragedies the news media (Left Stream Media) was painting the standard narrative, blaming the violence on "Assault" weapons. The Second Amendment, and the NRA. Just like Vichy Captain Louis Renault (Claude Rains) in Casablanca as soon as the media hears a gun shot they round up the usual suspects. Which any thinking person should realize is a smoke screen. They start to play upon the emotions of the moment to convince us that the only way to stop this from happening again is to throw away one of our most important freedoms. Unfortunately I'm sure that many of the uninformed believe the media. It is up to the informed to fight back against those who have shown no regard for those killed. They only wish to use the blood of the innocent victims to: In the words of Rahm Emmanuel "not let a crisis go to waste."

The failure of the current system is not due to guns, it is due to unrealistic and unconstitutional gun control laws. We as a people must live in the real world. In the real world there are monsters, madmen, and pure evil. Believing that we can change that and still live a life of liberty and happiness is living in a fantasy land. The real world is real. Living in fantasy is a step closer to the madness that propelled the coward to murder the innocents of the world.

Where Has the Thrill Gone?

2012-09-07T13:05:00.002-04:00

I sat up last night to listen to the President of the United State perform his acceptance speech. I know I listened to the entire speech, but for the life of me, I don’t remember much of what he said. I know that he did accept the nomination. I know that he tried to sound like a conservative. I know he talked for over half an hour, maybe closer to an hour. I’m not really sure if there was anything in that speech that will last.

Just like in 2008 he reached out to those undecided, conservative Americans, and Reagan Democrats who supported him after they started to pay attention. They heard a man who spoke in broad terms that sounded very conservative. This overall act and the coverage by the Left Stream Media that did not cover his contradictions and deceitful record hide his true character. Many of his new supporters where filled with hope and a deep desire to see him succeed. I believe many wanted to show that the racism of the past would be put behind them as they pull the lever to vote a black man into the highest office in the nation. They really wanted to believe. Yes to believe in something. They wanted to believe that this man could actually provide the change in Washington to turn the nation around and return us to a form or government that reflects the majority.

Unfortunately after 4 years it appears that the hope and desires of many Americans have turned into daily nightmares of denied high unemployment, ignored inflation, blame, and deception. We’ve seen anyone who even questioned him or his policies being call racist. Any set back or problems have been blamed on the past administration or some phantom enemy. Instead of bringing the nation together he has worked to divide us. Instead of cutting spending his lack of leadership has led to uncontrolled spending, crony capitalism, record deficits, and a world much more dangerous than the day he took office.

While blaming the past many of his policies mirror those of the Bush Administration. His health care plan that increases government control over every America was actually started with the passing of Medicare Part D. TARP may have been started under Bush, but Obama was happy to take it over and expand it. Obama stimulus was also attempted by Bush. He rails against the “Bush Era Tax Cuts” but when he had total control of Congress, he did nothing to overturn or raise those rates. Let’s face it when he talks about returning to the failed policies of the past, he is whistling past the graveyard. His “plan” is the same old “tax and spend” policies that have been exposed by Progressive politicians for over a century. The only thing new is the speed at which he has pushed the nation into socialism.

During his time in office he has constantly attacked any American individual or group that disagrees with his ideas. His attack on the citizens, their security, and the sovereignty of the states not only weakens our common binds but endangers our national identity. The Fast and Furious scandal, which could be considered as an act of war by our government, has been covered up with the use of Executive Privilege paints a dark cloud of suspicion over the entire executive branch. This act of arming drug gangs has been responsible for the death of Mexican and American citizens, including at least one DEA Agent, Brian Terry.

Bigots, Tramps, and Thieves
While Mr. Obama was putting on the conservative act, it is hard to forget the acts of those who where cheering him on. While millions of Americans are un or under-employed, unknown numbers of people who have given up hope to find employment, and Billions of dollars have been wasted or sent overseas to support foreign business the Democrats focused their energies on social issues.

While their chosen leader put on a “moderate” and conservative face, they showed that their extreme and radical ideas were more important the health of the people of this nation. These narrowed minded radicals demonstrate such vial hate for the traditions and for the nation as a whole that it is impossible for them to hide it. They give lip service to helping the poor, while pushing government funded abortion, gay marriage, and caps on earnings. This convention was attended by people who are so divorced from the normal life of most Americans that they cannot understand how their image has been diminished in the eyes of God fearing and loyal Americans.

The parade of extremist that I say as I watched these gypsies, tramps, and thieves only shows how irrelevant this party has made itself. Their lies, lack of self-respect, and open contempt for the things that made this country great makes me feel sad. I pray that they will one day see that deception, lack of morals, and the avocation of theft will not help anyone. Well except the immoral, lying thieves that they have so much respect.

The Democrat Party has become a party of exclusion. They will not allow anyone in the party that is pro-life or belief in any moral value system. The President approved a platform that not only excluded God but supported the pro terrorist concepts of the enemies of one of our strongest allies. This last one showed a lack of respect for a law signed by Bill Clinton. The way in which they “fixed” this “error” showed that not only does a majority of the party support the platform as written, but that the leaders of the party don’t respect the rule of law or their party.

Their greatest weakness in that they believe that they are the majority. This is something that I was afraid was true. That was before the 2010 mid-term elections. This is not the time to ignore the record of our current President as the media has chosen to do in the past. It seems to me that this time around Chris Matthews should be feeling something going down his leg this year and it is not a thrill.

WI Win

2012-06-07T22:21:00.002-04:00

When you see daily the government ceasing more and more power and attacking the Constitution it is easy to become cynical. The progressives as they continue to preach to the nation nightly that the things that made this nation great are evil, out of date, or no longer relevant to “today’s world.” The Left Stream Media constantly paints a progressive picture of the world as they ignore the hate and violence on the left but accuse conservative Americans for events that never occur.

With so many factors—even with the Internet as a balance to the LSM—it is hard to stay positive. Any thinking American knows the obstacles faced by anyone who is reformed minded. There are huge Federal and bureaucracies. The public sector unions are very powerful and command giant war chest to protect their stranglehold on government workers and Democrat politicians. The incestuous relationship between the unions and Democrat party officials are legendary. Taking on these mostly corrupt and highly thuggish machines is enough to make a person concerned about winning such a battle depressed. When Obama took the Administration branch in 2009 and started his push for “card check” that would have, if passed, allowed forced unionization across the nation. The nations march to socialism at the least and communism at the worst seemed to be a predetermined fact.

Mr. Obama has had a near parade of union leaders through the White House, starting soon after his election. These close relationships with union leaders and his admitted preference for radicals, socialist, communists, and domestic terrorists are enough to understand that this man and his close advisors do not have the same ideas for the future of this nation. He and his advisories not only have been willing not let a crisis go to waste, but seem quite willing to create a crisis to exploit. This is not a recipe for a bright future and some of his policies may have damaged this nation forever.

His now revealed membership of the far left "New Party" shows his true goals of this country. Their connection with ACORN not only adds to the concerns that I have been fighting, but it also drives home how important the November elections are to the future of our republic. I understand how each and every citizen is to this fight. Although his ego seems to have caused him to not support the unions in their hour of need, I don’t believe he has abandoned his goals. He just knows that if he wants to maintain his seat of power, he can not openly support the unions with such a show of opposition. I’m sure that he believes that he will be able to obtain many of his goals, but only if he gets that second term. Who knows, he might think that he will be able to actually change the system so that he can get a third and fourth term. Maybe he thinks he can cease even more power and control. He has not been afraid to exceed his authority with Executive Orders and regulations.

The results of the Wisconsin win this past Tuesday, along with the little watched ones in California, are enough to give honest freedom loving Americans hope. Over the past few decades labor unions have taken control of many local governments. Many partisans, labor leaders, and Democrat operatives will say that that assertion is false, but look at how much power these unions have obtained. This relationship is driving many cities, counties, and state governments into bankruptcy. The nation as a whole is near the edge of financial collapse due to crony capitalism and unchecked corruption.

Although I’m very pleased to see the people of Wisconsin winning some control back from a system that has raided treasuries across the country with wild abandonment one victory does not win the war. Because this is a war on the union thugs that are unafraid to use almost any means to win. These wins have wounded the unions, but they are now aware that they are fighting a much larger and important battle then they first thought. They will be fighting back as hard as they can to preserve the power they have enjoyed. Nothing is more dangerous then a wounded animal. The actions that those union supports took last year were those more like animals and less like reasonable people.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not so much anti-union as anti big union. When unions became larger than the businesses that they unionized they became big business. When unions openly began to openly support socialism and reject the capitalist system they became an enemy to the nation and the republic. When unions became a barrier between the people and their government they no longer served as a benefit to the nation. I am and have always been an opponent of public sector unions. There are many reasons why private sector unions came into existence and why they’ve lost their membership and political power. They over exceeded their relevance and out grew their needs. The unions have become too radical and too big to serve the average workers. They seem to only serve their national goals and the huge money that comes with their size.

Now is not the time to celebrate the win in Wisconsin too much. We must learn from the victory and understand the weaknesses of the public sector unions that have attacked our system of government, the free enterprise system, and the American way of life. The next election is too important to assume that we have won the day. We must not aim to destroy the unions, but we must curtail their power. We must find and remove the thugs from their ranks. We must take control of our nation and restore our republic by ending the creeping tyranny of the unions, the government, the Progressives, and the Democrat Party.

If we do not follow through on the lessons learned from June 5, 2012 this win will turn into a footnote in the history of the demise of the United States of America and our once grand republic. Moving forward to November is something that we must keep in mind. The Wisconsin win is one victory in a long battle. We can not throw it away.

None of the Above...Again

2012-05-17T21:57:00.000-04:00

The Democratic Primary of 2010 was very interesting. One of the most interesting things was when a political unknown won the South Carolina Democrat Primary for the U. S. Senate race. I wrote about this in “None of the Above” and “The Shocker in South Carolina.” But once again Democrat voters have spoken their disappointment of their party through the electoral process. Now that it is primary season again many of the loyal party members are going against the party bosses. The mood of the voters would seem to be very unsettled. Although the “powers that be” wish to portray these primary results to uninformed “southern voters,” Republican tricks, racism, or other convenient self-serving excuses. But dismissing the concerns of the rank and file of an American political party is not a formula for long term success.

In 2008 Alvin Greene entered the South Carolina primary with what was assumed to be no chance of winning. This assumption was wrong. He won the primary and then was defeated in the general. It was a clear case of the members of the party voting for “none of the above.” This year it seems to have happened again when the voters in West Virginia voted in a large number against Baraka Obama for a federal prisoner. This can only be seen as a protest vote. To think that at least 40% of Democrats that voted in the West Virginia primary would go to the polls and select an unknown person over the seated President is truly amazing. It is also should be keeping many politicians and political advisors awake at night.

The political unrest is not confined to the Democrats. This year has seen a couple of incumbent Republicans have been shown the door. Several politicians have sensed the mood change and decided to not seek reelection, but it appears that there are many who don’t understand the change in the political winds.

The arrogance of the ruling class in this nation has separated them from the nation as a whole. For many years our children have been taught socialism is a better system. The ideas that made this country great have been demonized for years. There are too many socialists and communist in our government. These forms of governing are at odds with freedom and liberty. The United States was built on the principle of citizen representation. When our representatives are actively pursuing socialism then freedom will soon be come extinct. Freedom and socialism are at odds with one another. There is no way that you can confiscate a person’s possessions and still claim that that person is free. Without property rights and the dream of prosperity there is no America. There is only slavery and servitude.

The Communist Party USA stopped running candidates over a decade ago. The reason they put on their website was: That the Democrat Party’s goals were in line with their goals. Far too many members of Congress are members of the Progressive caucus. Their overall goals are at odds with everything I believe in as a freedom loving American. It seems that too many citizens in this nation are willing to give up liberty for the lies and promises of the Progressive Socialist. As they have gained more and more power they take more and more of our liberties away. This process has been so slow that many of the people today don’t realize what has been lost.

When people obtain power and lose sight of those who they have been elected to server, then tyranny will follow. The political parties have lost sight of the average person and the ideas of American freedom. Our politicians have talked about controlling us. Freedom and government control are on the opposite ends of the scales.

We must regain our freedom of speech. When I was young American would say: “I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it.” This has been lost to “Political Correctness” while many on the left or of a “protected” ethnic group can say anything without repercussion.

We as a people must regain our liberties. It seems that many of the freedom loving loyal American Democrats beginning to understand that the policies of the people they have been supporting no longer support the nation. They understand that democracy and socialism are far different things. They see the Progressives spending the nation into irreversible debt. They see corruption and crony capitalism. They see the FOB (friends of Barak) getting kickbacks and making millions while they are unemployed or underemployed.

So yes I do believe that there is a rebellion in the Democrat Party’s loyal supporters as they continue to look to vote none of the above whenever they can. I can only wonder how many of these Democrats will hold their nose and vote Republican or just stay at home on Election Day. I can only pray that more and more of our leaders will be replaced with intelligent and loyal Americans who will stop the out of control spending and government regulations. That will be just the beginning of returning our nation to the freedoms that made it great.

There are just times when you have to thank people for doing what comes naturally. It has become fashionable these days for people on in the Left Stream Media to praise and preach the value of government control. Washington constantly declares that bigger is better, of course that only counts when they are talking about government agencies and their big donors. This is true when talking about everything from healthcare to taxes as those in government believe that they can solve any problem with a huge program spending billions of dollars. The sad part is that many Americans seem to believe this illogical concept.

No one seems to believe this more than the current spender-in-chief, Barack Hussein Obama. His only plan to get anything done is to spend more money. He, and his willing accomplices in Congress, has spent so much money that they have outpaced every President. The reckless pace at which the government has grown endangers the nation as a whole. Bureaucracies are self feeding mechanisms and the federal system has been made even worst by the phenomenon of baseline budgeting which provides ever growing amounts of dollars to them. Since real budget cuts never really occur, then the various agencies and administrative organizations must find ways to spend all of that money.

One of the ways that much of that money is spent is through “empire building” among midlevel managers. They find ways to justify additional projects or expenditures to increase their head count and budgets. I’ve seen this in large companies and government agencies. In many cases the only way that a manager can further their career is by growing their department or program. With baseline budgeting they are not only fighting for an ever growing pool of money but many are finding creative ways to attract and spend those funds. This is the reason that bloated businesses and governments fail in the long run.

Logic and economics—not Keynesian economics—would point to economic activity creates wealth. No matter what the Socialist today say; Free Market Economics created freedom, liberty, and prosperity. Big government programs only create temporary activities but create obligations that can overwhelm the private sector due to the inefficiencies. Because bigger is not better for everything. Bigger is just naturally inefficient and not cost effective.

So with all of that said it is no wonder that the General Services Administration (GSA) would see no problem with extravagant outings at major resorts. The idea that somehow these public servants saw no reason to think that they were wasting tax payer money is not surprising when you consider the resent attitude shown by other government workers. It is true that only one district—has so far—been found to be abusing the trust of the American people.

I believe in The US Constitution and the rights that are enumerated in it. I believe that everyone who is a citizen is protected from governmental abuse and persecution. Even Mr. Jeffrey Neely’s invocation of his Fifth Amendment rights should not be misconstrued but could point to some deep concerns about the possibility that more abuses will come to light. The abuses that have been made public should be a warning to all Americans.

As we move forward in this election year I have to say that this whole episode is a blessing. I can only hope that more Americans take the correct lesson that big government does not work. The Democrats and Obama Administration thinks that the only answer to any problem is bigger government. Look at their track record so far. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is estimated to be valued at $831,000,000,000.00 which went to many failed projects and directed money to pet projects of the President. The President and his talking heads would want us to believe that without this massive spending the economy would be worst, but the full price of this mismanagement of funds is not full understood by most of us.

The nationalization of the health care system slowly moves forward and may be accelerated if the Supreme Court declares ObamaCare unconstitutional. The lies that told to get its passage was bad enough, but the biggest was the cost estimates that ignored reality. The Progressives believe that by creating a huge price controlling government entity will actually control the free market. So how they overlook the spending of over $1,000,000,000,000.00 to implement this grand scheme will save money. Joe Biden said at the beginning of the Barack Obama’s term that they could spend their way out of debt. This is not only verging on insanity, but shows a total disregard for reality and common sense.

As the government continues to nationalize more industries through regulations and other means there will be more and more wasting of taxpayer’s money. There must be a total rejection of this statist attitude and a return to our constitutional limited government. It is time to run the Socialist, Progressives, and Communist out of government. This will be a slow process which has started, but we can not lose sight of what we have lost. The abusive attitudes of those who have been charged with the duty of protecting our nation must not be forgotten. So I have to be thankful for our blessings and realize that one of the biggest is that those who do abuse the system are not immune to the scrutiny of the people. Now we must real in the abuses of the rest of this out of control government. So I bless the GSA for showing use the true nature of our government. I can not forgive them for their abuses, but I’m thankful that they were arrogant enough to believe that what they were above the law and would not be scrutinized.

To Preserve, Protect and Defend

2012-04-05T20:31:00.001-04:00

It seems clearer to me why the legal system and our government is such a mess. With a Law Professor like Barak Obama teach Constitutional classes it brings a multitude of problems into focus. As a professor the responsibility should be to teach future lawyers not only about legal precedent, but the actual Constitution. It seems that every few of our institutions of higher learning are actually teaching the foundation of our government. But it seems that few of our elected—and for that matter unelected—official are aware of that document’s content. That was made very clear as Princess Pelosi has struggled to justify ObamaCare. In her latest attempt she could not cite the Constitution of the United States, but instead cited the Declaration of Independence. She might as well have cited the Articles of Confederation. Which absolutely never allowed such a power grab as the one attempted by the Progressives in the government.

Of course the Progressives are not concerned with preserving, protecting, or defending the Constitution. Mr. Obama sees our foundational document that defines our system of government and is suppose to preserve the liberty of the citizen, as an impediment to his ideas of a “perfect” union. The Socialist Progressives believe that they are meant to rule without impediments. The ideas that anyone can speak freely or defend themselves are frightening ideas.

The founders created a government with three equal branches.

Administrative: The Administrative Branch is supposed to, first and foremost, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. The occupant of the office is also tasked with enforcing the laws passed by Congress and caring out those duties that protect the nation from all enemies, internal or external. There are other duties but they all relate to the preservation of the legally constituted republic, defined in our Constitution.

Legislative: Congress is supposed to, first and foremost, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. They pass the laws that govern the nation. This also includes the preservation of the legally constituted republic, defined in our Constitution.

Judicial: The courts are supposed to, first and foremost, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. They interpret the laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. This also includes the preservation of the legally constituted republic, defined in our Constitution. The Supreme Court was designed to be separate from the political system. The members were supposed to be unconcerned about the current political temperament and only concerned with the implementation and constitutionality of the laws.

Mr. Obama has accused the court of Activism activities. Well it seems that there are two different ideas of what defines activism in the courts.

Activist Courts Defined:
To Progressive—such as Nancy Pelosi and Emperor Obama—an “activist” court is any court that stands in the way of the implementation of their radical agenda. They believe that their power is unquestionable and that anyone who disagrees or impedes their “progress” in redefining their personal power is an enemy. It is easy to see with the open attacks and Obama’s enemy list that they don’t believe that anyone should be allowed to challenge their actions.

To conservatives the idea of an “activist” court is when a court exceeds its constitutional bounds by redefining or creating a new “right.” There have been cases in which “activist” courts have order governments to spend money on social programs or involving themselves in-state commercial activities—such as Wickard v. Filburn.

The most extreme case that many cite is Roe v. Wade, in which the Supreme Court somehow decided that the Constitution allowed the Federal government to overturn all state laws and establish a new “right.” Even though there is nothing remotely close to their conclusions outlined in the final judgment delivered in this case. This case is responsible for much of the division in the nation. Because the court determined law by straying away from the customary self-imposed limits usually adhered to by the judiciary, many Americans feel that this was the ultimate “activist” court decision.

The Case that keeps Progressives awake:
It has been repeated several times this week—in different venues—that the courts have the final say. Although that may be true, it does not mean that all decisions are final. I keep hearing Progressives saying that cases like Roe v. Wade are settled law. The only problem with such a statement is that is not really true. That case could be overturned. It has happened before, which sets precedence. The case of Plessy v. Ferguson must worry pro-abortion advocates awake at night. Well if they even know about it. Of course many Americans only know about Brown v. Board of Education. Brown v. Board of Education was the case that eliminated the idea of “separate but equal” which was defined in Plessy v. Ferguson. By revisiting this case the Supreme Court overturned a really bad decision and set forth the desegregation of the nation.

Mr. Obama’s recent attempts to either intimidate the high court or at the every least to undermine their authority, has crossed the line. His political posturing has no place in his dealing with an equal branch of government. It will be interesting to see if the high court takes any actions to reestablish their non-political status and defend the rule of law.

This is the second time he has attacked the Supreme Court. He has exceeded his authority as President. The courts are a separate branch and are not accountable to his whims and wishes. His open defiance of our constitutional system, once again, puts him in direct conflict with his oath of office. As he continues to change our government with executive orders, I can only hope to see more court intervention to halt this erosion of our republic and the liberties of all Americans.

For far too many years our elected representatives have spent their time attempting to circumvent the Constitution and not defending it. The power grabs have been too many and the abuses have gone on for too long. It is time for more actions that will once again restore individual liberties and curtail governmental abuses. It is time to replace the Progressives in every branch at every level, with those who will adhere to their oath, to preserve, protect, and defend our Constitution.

Guilty Until Proven Guilty

2012-04-01T20:10:00.000-04:00

Sometimes the story just writes itself. In the news media there is a saying: “If it bleeds, it leads.” I can just see the scene in the bowels of some media organization or Progressive consulting organization. They see a story. It has all the right elements. The episode involves a gated community, a dead African-American, a legally armed Jewish—read white—shooter, and to top it off the shooter goes free. This would seem to be the next great headline grabber. How could it miss? After all it occurred in Florida, which passed a “stand your ground” law a few years back.

Twisting this whole affair into a blood letting lead story line would seem to be child play. What a narrative: The rich shooter in his exclusive neighborhood (a member of a community watch) must have used his political influence to hunt down an innocent kid for walking while black (WWB). With the waning interest in the “War on Women” political story, the Left Stream Media really needed another story to grab the headline and help push their left-wing agenda. All they needed was to paint the picture and wait for the Merchants of hate, such as groups like—Eric Holder’s favorite hate group—the New Black Panthers, plus race baiter Jessie Jackson, and don’t forget all of the self-hating white commentators at NBC News and their cable channel. Of course I could not leave out MSNBC’s leader on the Progressive hate front man, Al Sharpton.

With the employment of Mr. Sharpton as a so-called “commentator” NBC removed any last shred of being non-biased and embraced the outright hatred for America and freedom. No one should be surprised that they would not only openly advocate for the murder of an American citizen, without trail, but turned one of their employees lose to push vigilantly justice. NBC and the rest of the media have pushed the limits on the First Amendment. They are constantly attempting to insight riots by not only showing prejudicial pictures of the victim, but repeating a narrative that is based in fiction. Media pundits nightly discuss this sad episode as if they personally witnessed it. They ignored anything that does not fit their agenda, and again in the case of NBC, edited 911 tapes to fit their hate filled desire to see blood run in the streets. Even though they promise an investigation, the damage is done. Maybe it is time for Comcast to look a little closer at their broadcast unit.

The biggest problem with this story is that somehow the tale became more complicated when the “rich Jew” became a Hispanic. So the media suddenly coined a new race; White-Hispanic. The sudden rush to judgment by so many has put innocent people in danger while pandering to worst elements of our society. Those who rush to judge others without all the facts are as guilty of the crimes committed by those they are attempting to insight. The blood of all the innocent lives lost or damaged is on the hands of those who sent them forward. It is a national disgrace that so many racist are so willing to demonstrate they blind hate. What makes Mr. Sharpton, Mr. Jackson, or the members of the New Black Panthers any different then the Klukers of the last century? There is none in my eyes. Racist haters should not be given a national stage to communicate their sick and demented ideas.

So will the media once again be able to fill their coffers with blood money from riots that they insight? Is it not time for the American people to turn off the hate speech from those who only wish to fill their “news” programs with scenes of death and destruction that they have directly encouraged. I know of no other time that the media has so openly called for and supported violence.

The death of a 17 year old person should never be used in such a manner. The open calls for violence are unacceptable for this nation. The rush to judgment serves no one who believes in equal justice under the law. Guilty until proven guilty is not the American way. The real guilt falls on those who ignore the real crime of black upon black because it does not fit their agenda. This affair is not worthy of national attention in this manner. Those who are in-sighting violence must pay for their criminal behavior. It is still against the law to shout FIRE in a crowded theater and those who are shouting for blood must face the justice that they want to deny to Mr. Zimmerman and anyone who may be injured or kill if the riots they seem to be calling for occur.

Thoughts from Thursday 3-22-2012

2012-03-23T21:09:00.000-04:00

Throwing gas on a fire: A former aid to the president is infamous for saying: "Never let a good crisis go to waste." Well even thou Mr. Emanuel is no longer in Washington, Mr. Obama still seem to live by this radical anti-freedom stance. Of course after the "beer summit" everyone with any commonsense knows that he has a disdain for the laws and the law enforcement of this nation.

His days as a community organizer never prepared him to be the chief law enforcement officer. He seems enjoy fanning the flames of hate. Well sir that is not your job. Maybe you should review the oath of office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

You are not defending the Constitution by seeding division and feeding hate. Your words were not designed to calm the nation as witnessed by the reaction from the merchants of hate that continues to call for violence. What happened in Sanford Florida was a tragedy. It should be view in that way. Sane and caring people do not relish the death of anyone born or unborn. But you seem to desire that there is violence. Your actions once again bring the question up again: Are you fit to lead the country?

As this episode once again demonstrates your judgment is lacking. I pray for the country and you. You should look before you leap. I hope that you can control this—what appears to me to be a—deep seeded hate in your heart. This nation doesn’t deserve a person who is unable to control their words, emotion, and actions. You occupy the Oval Office and are suppose to represent all of the people in this nation, not just those who look as you do.

For someone who is able to garner a large enough following to become President of the United States, you don’t seem to be very intelligent. This sad episode should have been ignored or mentioned only to try and comfort, not insight violence. When you called for “soul searching” you try and convict not just the shooter, but all Americans. We did nothing wrong. But you seem to think that somehow there is a collective guilt. That type of thought process is not only ignorant, but unproductive. Instead of chastising the American people and instilling hate and resentment, you should be trying to comfort the bereaved family and the American people. Death is a part of life and I never like to see an innocent person fall victim to any crime. A leader and I mean a true leader would not feed the flames of hate, but work to calm people down and look for answers.

UPDATE: On Saturday 3/24/12 it was reported that there was an eyewitness to the shooting—as opposed to overheard phone calls—that support a different version of event than that of the LSM. It could be that this time again the Mr. Obama has thrown gas on a fire and fanned it again. Once again it seems that he acted "stupidly." But I do not want to make the same mistake that Mr. Obama continually makes, rushing to judgment.

Say Anything: Speaking of gasoline, it appears that Mr. Obama is once again painting a picture based upon fiction. He somehow thought that in 3 years he could solve America’s dependence on petroleum. Breaking it would be a great goal to obtain, but finding a replacement for an estimated 19.18 million barrels of oil per day (EIA) is a titanic undertaking. But he blindly through billions of dollars into programs like Solyndra which had no chance of succeeding.

In his 3 year run for reelection he has spun many of a fanciful tell, but his latest concerning oil production are almost—if not so serious—laughable. He claims that he is responsible for the increase in oil production, of course not that long ago he was saying that drilling today would take years—longer that three—to have an affect on oil supplies. So the increased oil production today is due to the permits issued by the Bush Administration, one of the few things that he has not blamed on Bush.

Well as he continues to blame the bad on anyone he can while taking credit for anything good, it is plain to anyone looking that he will say anything to keep his power. I just don’t see why he is qualified for reelection. He is not big enough for the job and has not grown in it. If nothing else, it seems that he has become smaller.

A Date of Infamy: This week marks the anniversary of The Death of the Republic when the Democrats in the US Congress ceased control of the heath care industry. Although this was just the first step in a 100 year goal, this action changed the relationship between the American people and the Federal government. This seizure of power has further separated those who are supposed to serve and the electorate.

Although this week marks the second year anniversary of this transgression, little has been heard from those who pushed it through. The only major defense I’ve heard was from former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. She seems to think that the Declaration of Independence somehow granted them the ability to impose this law. But I’ve heard nothing from Mr. Obama, who made ObamaCare the cornerstone of his administration.

For too long the creeping erosion of the Bill of Rights has gone on with little more than a whimper from many Americans. But now the tyrannical acts of the Democrats, Socialist, Progressive Socialist, and Communist who have gained power over the years have awoke many who have been asleep. They know that they must not show any weakness and are working very hard to not only destroy or electoral process—or just the faith in it—but to cement their power base. The 2010 election woke many of the tyrants up and they are now fighting back with every weapon they possess.

Even if the Supreme Court overturns the mandate, there is no certainty that they will overturn the either law. It may be even harder to repeal it. Even if it is repealed there are thousands of pages of regulations that have been written by the DHSS. These extra-constitutional regulations may make enough changes to the existing system that they will just become standard policy.

So what do we do? We don’t give in or give up. There is going to have to be a much needed house cleaning at the Federal government level. Many of those whose jobs depend on the enforcement of this unethical and unconstitutional government mandate must renounce it or find another career outside of government. We must remember this day of infamy and never again let a political movement obtain such a strangle hold on our day to day lives. Our lives and freedoms hang on the decisions we make today to bring our nation back to the freedoms once enjoyed.
