Rants, Ravings, and Sometimes Doing the Right Thing.....

“Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you.” - Satchel Paige

Ahead of tonight’s debate, your opinion will be shaped by whichever news sources you choose. While it may be hard for many of us to understand how someone could be undecided at this point in the election, it could be said that being decided upon Obama is far worse.

During the debate tonight, try to ask yourself a series of questions. Listen to the words of both candidates, but most importantly, listen to what your gut tells you. As soon as the debate is over, turn off your television and form your own opinions with those closest to you. Resist the “easy way out” which has cost us so much in the last four years. Resist the urge to rely on overtly biased news sources to give you what should be your most cherished privilege as an American. Vote with YOUR heart. Not the heart of your grandparents, or parents, or friends, or co-workers, or neighbors, or those within your community but rather with YOUR heart and YOUR mind.

Too much has been given. Too much has been lost. Casting a foolish vote for foolish personal reasons is simply unacceptable. Ask yourself the questions and answer them truthfully. If you can do that, then your choice is clear. If you allow the opinions of others to influence your answers to the following questions then you do not deserve the freedoms afforded you by this great country.

· Do you honestly believe that Mitt Romney wants to go to war?

Look at the way the two men carry themselves. One is out bragging about accomplishments that turn out to be so axiomatically false that the blood of four dead Americans will forever stain his hands. So arrogant was Obama about his uniting presence in the Middle East that he intentionally overlooked obvious signs of terror to come. So determined was Obama to pass off this “al Qaeda’s on the run” nonsense to all of us willing sheep. Notice the arrogance, the discomfort with the line of questioning.

Remember what was said and done in the weeks following the MURDER of Ambassador Stevens. Don’t listen to the reckless revisions of history that take place in Obama’s head. You were there! You were there and yet Obama will try to make you believe that what you saw and heard from him and his administration didn’t actually happen. He will say all this with a straight face, theatrical emotions, and righteous indignation but you must remain strong. You must stare down the blinding beam of his lies and form your own opinion.

Now take a look at Romney. Regardless of the words used, which man do you feel would show more strength, character, and American courage in the face of a suddenly emboldened enemy? Do you think Mitt Romney is really itching to send more troops into harm’s way?

· Do Obama’s words match his record?

On Libya – Nothing he says matches what he said last week. And none of that matched what was said the week prior.

We’ve heard time and time again that “Usama bin Laden is dead and al Qaeda’s on the run.” What we haven’t heard a whole lot of is the fact that Hillary Clinton actually gave the order for the strike that killed bin Laden and al Qaeda is gathering strength and support in parts of the world Obama has assured us were free of terror.

He claims a tough stance on terrorism but then refuses to classify anything as terrorism. The attacks at Fort Hood were NOT “workplace violence.” They were terrorism but admitting that would mean admitting terrorism had occurred, on American soil, during a re-election campaign. It would also mean quite a bit more money to the surviving victims and grieving families. Obama has no problem giving billions of dollars of taxpayer money to his generous donors at fairy-tale firms like Solyndra, A123 Systems, and Fisker but heaven forbid he spend an extra couple of bucks on a dead soldier when he can avoid it with semantics. It’s pathetic. You know it in your heart that this is not the way things are supposed to work.

· Would Mitt Romney EVER allow the office of the President of the United States of America to be represented on a radio show with a man calling himself “Pimp With a Limp?”

Of course it’s natural for a candidate to seek out “friendly” territory for public appearances in the course of a campaign but at some point His Barackness has to realize that the office he was elected to hold transcends cool points every time. He has to realize that the message he sends to other countries is not one of strength when he’s constantly pandering. David Letterman, Jon Stewart, and the “ladies” from The View are fine after your term, Mr. President but until then…..get your ass back in that office and fix this disastrous economy!

· When you look at the two candidates at the podiums tonight, which one do you believe will honestly make a better president?

Which one do you honestly feel more connected to? Sure, Obama has the cool words and the animated stage presence but is that what is going to get this economy growing again? Mitt Romney understands business. He understands negotiations. He’s not fake. He’s not disingenuous. Mitt Romney is realistic. He’s logical. Most importantly; he’s truthful. Barack Obama is none of those things. Barack Obama is a liar. He will say and do anything to remain in power but given the opportunity, there may not be a country left for him to rule.

We literally cannot afford four more years. Norman Mattoon Thomas ran for the office of United States President an astonishing six times. The problem was that he was the leader of the American Socialist Party and in a speech in 1944, he said the following:

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened……I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.”

Do we want to prove him right? Is free crap worth living like the Greeks? It’s a reality that even the most eloquent and charming speech can’t avoid. Take a second to read up on the problems facing Greece and several other countries right now and then ask yourself who you think is better equipped to steer the United States clear of such troubling waters. There is ONE clear choice in this election and that choice is the man who has withstood every baseless, fact-free, straw-man attack the current administration has thrown his way. The truth is not always fun to look at. It doesn’t always make as interesting a story as the made up world in which Obama lives, but the truth is what we need to face as a country because you know what…..America has never backed down from a challenge and that’s exactly what we face right now. It’s a challenge but it’s a challenge we can defeat with integrity, determination, and a complete absence of Barack Obama in the White House.

As always, thanks for playing.

“Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.” - Mitt Romney

Isn’t it amazing how often the Obama Administration / Campaign tells us to ignore something as soon as the public starts to question their stance? Are you as sick of it as I am? Isn’t it mystifying how often Obama does something “heroic” in the hours prior to a potential ass-whooping?

This week, ahead of tonight’s debate, we’re being told that the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi is only an issue because Mitt Romney is making it one. Seriously, that’s the line being taken by the President of the United States. How many of you would have gotten away with such foolishness with your parents when you were kids? How many of you would have been permitted to stand there, look your father in the eye, and spew such nonsense?

Imagine if you and your friends had burned down a significant portion of the woods behind your family homes when you decided it would be a wise idea to light firecrackers in the hollowed trunk of a dead tree. (Again…..I’m sorry, Mom!) Imagine if you had come up with some story that blamed someone other than yourself and upon being caught in your lie, you claim that the fire is only an issue because the people you blamed are making it one. I believe my parents would have spent several nights crafting a sadistically creative and life-changing punishment for me!

That’s exactly what Barack Obama is doing right now. It’s been over a month since the attacks and just this week, in the days and hours preceding a debate in which a defeat would most likely leave him in need of a new home, Obama says he is “considering” sending in Special Forces to retaliate. Take a look at the facts for a few minutes. The timeline of events, as given under sworn Congressional testimony, simply doesn’t satisfy Obama’s claims.

In April of 2011, Christopher Stevens arrived in Benghazi. His mission was simple in its underlying theory but more difficult than anyone in the administration would admit in its implementation. Stevens was sent there to forge alliances with the rebel forces battling Ghadafi. Those forces won and as we all know, Ghadafi was removed from power after 40 years of rule. A “Commander” in Chief would have understood the dangers such an event would pose to a US Ambassador in the region. A “Commander” in Chief would have secured his assets against inevitable threats. Unfortunately, we have a “Campaigner” in Chief.

In March of 2012, Eric Nordstrom, the State Department Regional Security Officer sent a cable to his superiors in Washington. In this cable, Nordstrom requested additional diplomatic security forces in Benghazi. He received NO response. In July, he repeated his actions and received the same result. First, those who say “well, why didn’t he try another method of communication” have never worked within the strict yet necessary confines of an established chain of command. Why would Nordstrom lie? What would he have to gain by speaking out against his superiors? He’s risking his career by speaking out. What is Obama risking if Nordstrom’s version is the truth? He’s risking his Presidency. Now I ask you. Who has more motive to lie? Who has more history of creating scenarios which later turn out to be “seasonally adjusted?”

On April 6, 2012 two Libyan guards who had recently been fired threw an improvised explosive device (IED) over the fence of the consulate. That’s just six months prior to the attack on 9/11. Again, a bomb was thrown over the fence of the consulate and no additional security was provided. Two requests sent, that we know of, yet no additional security provided.

On May 22, 2012 a Facebook post by Islamic extremists in the region states “now we are preparing a message for the Americans.” The message is posted just hours after an attack on the Red Cross facility in Benghazi.

On June 6^th, a hole is blown in the north gate of the embassy compound. The damage is ominously described by a witness as being “big enough for forty men to run through.” No arrests, no additional security. Later in the month, another Facebook post by increasingly bold Islamic extremists outlines the daily travel routine of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens. He was being watched and the ones performing the surveillance were so emboldened that they posted their research online. Their “street cred” was propelled, our reputation was weakened, and no additional security was provided.

Now, all of this has happened and guess what happened in July…..the stupid video everyone on the left seems to believe was the root cause of all the “bumps in the road” was posted to YouTube. That’s right. A bomb thrown over the fence. An explosion rips a gaping ENTRY into the north wall of OUR embassy. Surveillance of OUR Ambassador is brazenly posted online and all of this occurred prior to the release of the apology generating film.

On August 14^th, State Security Team led by Lieutenant Colonel Andy Wood is ordered out of Benghazi. According to sworn testimony, Ambassador Stevens begged Wood to stay. He was fearful. He felt as if he was living on “borrowed time.”Not only was no additional security provided; but the little bit that was already in place was reduced. Interestingly, Hazard Pay to those working in the region was increased. Why would they have increased hazard pay if there was no threat? Why would the State Department have acknowledged an increased level of hazard in paychecks but not in protection?

On September 8, 2012, the Libyan militia tasked with protecting the consulate warns that the security situation is “frightening.” Family members reportedly warned them of imminent attacks. No fewer than 48 hours notice given, yet nothing was done to secure the facility, the personnel, or the highly sensitive information and files kept inside the consulate. The warnings did not fit the narrative and were immediately dismissed. Any other description or account is simply false.

On September 10, 2012, al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri calls on Islamic Libyans to avenge the death of his Libyan Deputy, Abu Yahya al Libi who was killed in Pakistan in June by a US drone strike. The day before the anniversary of al Qaeda’s biggest victory over the United States a threat of this nature is made and yet we are told that there was “no actionable intelligence” to suggest that an attack was forthcoming.

HEY, UNDECIDED VOTER…..ARE YOU AS STUPID AS THEY THINK YOU ARE?

On September 11^th, after protesters in Cairo storm the embassy and replace the United States flag with the colors of al Qaeda, Mitt Romney released a response to the Obama Administration’s apology. In a quickly retracted statement, Clinton stated that the attack in Libya was the result of “inflammatory material posted on the internet.” Mitt Romney was right, folks. Now he’s being condemned for saying then what the administration is saying today.

He was right and it goes against the narrative we have all been spoon fed over the last four years. Obama has led us to believe that the spread of democracy in countries where dictators and extremist rule have been removed is spreading to adoring citizens who praise the efforts of His Barackness…..the great uniter. The fact is that Barack Obama did nothing more than set up a couple of campaign talking points in the middle east.

The United States is no stronger today than we were under Jimmy Carter. The comparisons are undeniable and the response of this administration is more political staging. They blame Romney for politicizing their mistakes as if Romney is not allowed to do so. Did they think he would just lie down and give them another four years?

Questions are going to have to be answered. For four years, Barack Hussein Obama has controlled the narrative. He has controlled the audiences to which he pitches his nonsense and he has controlled the questions that were asked of him. No more. That stops now because quite frankly, the teleprompter dependant buffoon owes it to the country he has failed to lead.

Obama’s entire Presidency has been centered on winning another one. His actions have all been aimed at future speeches in which he could take unearned credit for actions that either weren’t his idea or simply didn’t happen in the manner described. Labor numbers are consistently “erroneous.” (Last week, the day of the VP debate, labor dropped below 8% for the first time in Obama’s presidency. The next day, we learned they forgot to include unemployment numbers for CALIFORNIA!!! Does anyone believe that was a coincidence?)

No matter what is said in the debate tonight; no matter what the polls may say tomorrow…..Obama is simply not the leader this country needs. Forced control is not the same thing as leadership. Avoiding tough questions and criticism is not the same thing as strength. Popularity is not the same thing as success. Charm and celebrity friendships are not the same thing as “presidential.” A loyal media is not the same thing as freedom. 23 million people out of work is not the same thing as recovery. Weakened global reputation is not the same thing as progress.

The charm and promises fooled you in 2008. This time, there is a substantial record of failure to consider before casting your vote. There is a record of dishonesty that must be factored into voting decisions and that record falls entirely on the shoulders of the man with the little (D).

Don’t be controlled. There’s a reason it’s becoming popular to jump off the Obama ship. It’s sinking, folks! Obama, with a smug smile sprawled across his face, is literally praying that you are as dumb as he needs you to be. Resist. Educate. VOTE!!

As always, thanks for playing!

Clear the Blockage…..

2012-10-12T16:20:00.001-05:00

How many of you have seen Shawshank Redemption? Despite the personally liberal leanings of Tim Robbins, his portrayal of Andy Dufresne in that film has kept it in many top ten lists for years.

In the film, Dufresne is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover after catching them in the throes of passion. He’s a gentle man who clearly doesn’t fit the stereotypical definition of an inmate. Throughout the movie, and throughout Andy’s time inside the cold, stone walls of the prison known as Shawshank, he survives horrific acts with only the “hope” of redemption providing sustenance. “Hope” as defined by Morgan Freeman’s character, Red, is a dangerous thing in a prison but Andy refuses to let go. He is dogged in his determination and steadfast in his resolve. He was innocent. He was good. He would withstand whatever was thrown at him for the chance to one day set foot on the beaches of Zihuatanejo, Mexico…..”a warm place with no memory.”

If you haven’t seen the movie, I highly recommend it. If you have seen it, then surely you will agree that Mitt Romney has tunneled through the wall behind the strategically placed poster of Raquel Welch, or “Fuzzy Britches” as the warden so eloquently put it. Romney is tucked away, inside the walls of the prison. He is synchronizing his patiently measured strikes with the crashes of thunder from the violent storm outside. He’s within a few desperate strikes, using whatever is at his disposal, praying against all odds to complete a carefully conceived plan that has spanned the course of his detractor’s time in his life.

Can a better comparison be drawn than that of Barack Hussein Obama to the “river of filth” through which Andy Dufresne had to crawl in order to finally taste freedom? Andy Dufresne made the most of the world around him. He didn’t accept his fate as determined by the state, or the sociopathic guards, or a sadistic warden, or any other outside sources. He smiled in the knowledge that his faith would see him through to brighter days. The same can be said of Mitt Romney.

Everywhere Mitt Romney has gone in his life, he has delivered success. He has left a trail of people who are genuinely moved by having crossed paths with Mitt Romney. The man doesn’t brag. The man doesn’t toot his own horn. He would never have gone before the nation and taken credit for the bravery of other men. That’s simply not who he is.

What some people see as “smugness” is not that at all. Mitt Romney is not a smug man. He is a faithful man. There’s a HUGE difference and I truly believe what we witnessed last night was the gentle wisdom of Mitt Romney starting to take hold in Paul Ryan. Romney’s gentle nature won’t permit the kind of pummeling we all want to see him deliver. His faith in doing things the right way, not the popular way, is what makes him perfectly suited for the office he seeks.

Paul Ryan had to resist, with more will power than most of us could ever hope to summon, the urge to get up and beat the snot out of a condescending, disrespectful, rude, and childish old man on stage last night. Joe Biden, whether drunk, nervous, or just being himself; behaved like an amateur last night. Whatever points he may have made with his logic and words, he gave back with his body language and abhorrent social skills. The man didn’t even have the decency to respond with a simple “you’re welcome” when Congressman Ryan thanked him for the opportunity to debate in his closing statements.

We were all hoping to see another nail in the coffin of the Barack “River of Filth” Obama presidency last night, but this was not that kind of debate. This was a debate that set a lot of stages for next Tuesday’s debate. This was a debate that, for Joe Biden, was meant to steer the narrative. This debate was meant to put Romney and Ryan back on defense and it might have worked had it not been for Biden’s psychotic laughter and incredulity.

Mitt Romney is faithful. His faith is not limited to God. Mitt Romney has faith in the goodness of America. Mitt Romney believes that there is more to America than the walls Obama has put around us. He truly believes that the foolish spending, dependency nurturing, national security weakening, economy destroying, labor crushing ways of Barack Hussein Obama and his parasitic media allies are the confining walls of a prison. The prison is not incarcerating America. It’s incarcerating the hope America holds so dear. He believes in the innocence of America and he’s willing to crawl through that river of filth in order to deliver the freedom we all deserve.

It’s time for us, as the recipients of Mitt Romney’s undeniable faith, to start living like the people he believes us to be and not the people Obama has made us. If we’re going to rid this country of the germ that is His Barackness, we need to start living beyond his reach. Romney has done just that. Can we, as a nation, emulate the genuine goodness displayed by Mitt Romney? Can we finally start to look beyond our own, individual needs and consider what’s best for the country as a whole? If that time is taken; if that consideration can be applied to your vote, there is no possible way you pull that Obama lever in November.

At the end of Shawshank Redemption, Andy Dufresne and Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding embrace on the beach of Zihuatanejo. The plan that Andy implemented required the calculated and simultaneous defeat of unfathomable opponents and obstacles, but he emerged victorious and redeemed. Do we want to give up when we’re in the sewage pipe? Right now, it could be said that the “success pipe” in America is about 47% clogged. If we give up the fight and allow His Barackness to maintain residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for four more years, that pipe will become clogged beyond any possible repair.

Hope is not a dangerous thing in America like it is within the dehumanizing walls of a prison. Hope is only dangerous in America when we are told what to hope for. Hope becomes a danger when we are encouraged, by those we elect to defend us, to “hope” for the wrong things. Hope becomes dangerous when it’s unaccompanied by ambition. The two cannot operate independently of each other and that’s why Obama’s “hope” has failed so miserably.

Hope becomes a danger when it is faked. When Barack Obama celebrated the ousters of Ghadaffi and Mubarak he pointed to all the hope these actions had delivered to a region of the world unaccustomed to such notions. For a while, we believed him. Then the reality set in. Yes, these men were finally out of power, but were they the real threat we were led to believe they were? Was there a plan in place for what or who would succeed them in power? There are four dead Americans and several heavily damaged United States Embassies who might say “no.”

Mitt Romney offers us a better option. It’s up to us to make sure that option is taken. No more hype. No more falsified information. No more “oops, we forgot to report CALIFORNIA in our jobless numbers on the morning of a Vice Presidential Debate but we swear it’s just a coincidental omission” type of mistakes. No more flexibility. No more condescension. No more disrespect. No more abandonment of principles. No more casting aside of values and traditions. No more heroic stances against imaginary foes. No more looking the other way while the man holding the highest office in our land weakens us as a country on every stage. No more.

It’s time for us to clear the blockage. This 47% nonsense seems to be the one the Obama campaign wants to go with. They are literally defending the clog in the pipe. They’re happy to let the clog increase until the flow of success in reduced to a sporadic trickle.

As always, thanks for playing!

Undecidedly Needed…..

2012-09-28T09:24:00.001-05:00

“The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.” - Leonardo da Vinci

This article is an open plea to any “undecided” voter. It’s a counter response to the manipulated reality to which you have been over exposed.

Barack Hussein Obama would have you believe that you are part of a very needy group who receives little to no respect, attention, or money from your government. He would have you believe that the only way you can possibly get the life America “owes you” is to cast your vote for him and his ideology.

His Barackness loves to separate Americans into groups. In the world into which he is trying to cast America, every group has specific needs that only the government can fulfill. What was once the slow and measured spread of dependence has become a paralyzing epidemic.

Ladies first. Barack Obama would have you believe that Conservatives support a so called “War on Women.” This is false. You should be offended by such nonsense, not drawn into it. The women I know are strong. They are moral (for the most part) and they are logical. (Again…..for the most part!) The women I know; the ones who raised me and continue to put up with me to this day, would never go out in public demanding that the government provide them with contraception at the expense of others. Conservatives do not want to control your bodies, ladies. We don’t want to tell you when and where you can protect yourselves as those on the left would expect you to believe. Conservatives want you, and all Americans to succeed on your own. We don’t believe you need the government or anyone else making your most important life decisions for you. You’re smart. You can figure out how to budget birth control into your finances if it’s of importance to you, right? Please don’t get sucked into the hype and charm of Obama and his campaign. Single, married, young, old, black, white, divorced, or widowed….. cast your vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in November.

Black people. The idea that conservatives don’t respect you is absurd. Respect has nothing to do with skin color. Respect comes from actions, not race. To that end; what actions has Barack Obama performed that make him worthy of your vote? Unemployment among your communities is over 6% higher than it is in the rest of America. That’s a verifiable fact, not political hype. I am begging of you to ask yourselves a couple of questions: Do you support abortion? Do you support gay marriage? These are both things that your “brother” has openly endorsed. Barack Obama claims membership in the black community, but ask yourself: How many of your neighbors, friends, or family members grew up in Hawaii and went to a Muslim School in Jakarta, Indonesia? Not exactly Barry from the Block, is he? I beg of you, look beyond the color of his skin. Look at his actions. Look at what he stands for. He doesn’t represent you. He uses you. He charms you and preys upon your blind loyalty and we all deserve better. He’s no different than the crack dealer who gives the first rock “for free.” They both know that once you get a taste of their “product” you’ll be back for more, and more, and more. Break the cycle of addiction and cast your vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in November.

Hispanics are another proud people being asked to abandon their beliefs in exchange for “favors” from His Barackness. Hermanos y hermanas, os ruego ..... no se dejen ver como tontos. No se dejen para ser utilizados como marionetas. (Brothers and sisters, I beg of you…..do not allow yourselves to be viewed as fools. Do not allow yourselves to be used like puppets.) The country to which you flee is only worth all the risk if it provides the glory you seek. That glory comes in the form of freedom and it is being stripped away by the very man telling you that you “owe him” a vote if he clears the path for your immigration. What has he done? Deportations are up, immigration is harder than ever, and he has asked the Catholic Church to set aside thousands of years of belief and scripture to make room for the scriptures of liberalism. He’s asked the sanctity of family to look the other way while the homosexual agenda is inserted into your home. The man to whom so much loyalty is given will take away the very country many of you risked your life to enter. Look at the facts and cast your vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in November.

Christians are being asked to forsake their beliefs. We have a President whose only mention of Christ comes when cameras are rolling. God commands a life foreign to Obama. Deep down in your heart, if you truly believe in God, you must also believe that so many of the arguments, actions, and statements made by the President and his administration are wrong. Mitt Romney is a genuinely good man. There are hundreds of stories that support his claims of sincere altruism, yet very few if any can be found of Barack Obama. In fact, his past actions are kept from us with such fervor; the question of “what’s he hiding” simply has to be asked. Trust your spiritual heart and cast your vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in November.

Jews who still insist on casting a vote for Barack Obama should be just as ashamed of themselves as anyone owning a copy of the Katy Perry movie. Barack Obama has made no attempts to hide the fact that his sympathies lie with Muslims in the Middle East, not Israel. His outright dismissal of Benjamin Netanyahu this week is just a small example of the disrespect given to Tel Aviv over the course of this failed Presidency. You have to be able to turn on the TV and see with your own eyes that no matter what he may say; his policies are failing in a part of the world that views Israel as an enemy. Apply simple logic to the decision and cast your vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in November.

Business Owners, who do you honestly believe knows more about the ins and outs of business ownership in America? Mitt Romney who has created thousands of jobs and millions of dollars, or Barack Obama who has never run so much as a lemonade stand and considered Solyndra, Ener1, A123 Systems, and the highly combustible Chevy Volt to be “solid investments.” We can no longer afford tio run our nation’s economy on fairy tales and wishes. It’s time for a real leader to take the wheel. ObamaCare will cripple you with higher expenses and crushing tax burdens.

Men and women of the United States Armed Forces, you are the finest fighting force the world has ever known. You are strength in lands that have only known force. You are hope in neighborhoods that have only known terror. You make decisions and face consequences your detractors can’t possibly fathom and you do it all at the discretion of a man who takes credit for your courage. You do it all for a paycheck that most would consider small, and you do it with pride. Now, you are being asked by the man who is supposed to be your “leader’ to sacrifice over a TRILLION dollars so that his own agenda can be funded. Marines are not allowed to politicize their actions and dispatch United Nations goons to assign false blame when they screw up. They are certainly not afforded the sympathetic assistance of the American media. Marines own up, punish their own, and move on. I ask you to demand the same of your Commander In Chief on 6 November. Ask yourself, if Eric Holder had been a Marine would his Commanding Officer have invoked any kind of “privilege” to save him from his unethical actions, especially when those actions resulted in the death of an American?

Mitt Romney doesn’t look at America in terms of the groups we can be broken into. Mitt Romney looks at America as America. One great country that deserves a great leader. We deserve a leader with positive economic history, not a questionable past. It doesn’t matter what group you fall into because we are all in this together. It doesn’t matter what color your skin is, where you work, or where you came from. It doesn’t matter where you worship. If you live in this country and have a sense of pride in that fact, you deserve better than a President who STOLE $1.4 BILLION from the American taxpayer last year so that he could fund the ridiculously extravagant lifestyle of his family. Our country has amassed $6 trillion in debt under his watch and his family spends $1,400,000,000.00 on flights, vacations, the biggest personal staff in White House history, and parties with celebrities and members of the Muslim Brotherhood. When was the last time you took a lavish vacation? When was the last time your servant made you a meal?

You know how many servants the Romney’s employ? ZERO. You know how many movers Mitt Romney hired to move his family’s belongings out of their Park City, Utah home when Hal and Corrinne Prewitt bought it from him in 2009? ZERO. He rolled up his sleeves, packed up the truck, and moved the stuff himself. (Click on the link to read this unbiased story.) That’s the kind of man I want running my country. A man who values the result of his own hard work. Not one who demands the fruits of another man’s labor and takes credit for another man’s bravery. I want a leader who can point to numerous stories of altruism and decency, not one who vehemently hides past relationships.

By the way, England’s Royal Family only took $56 million from the people of England last year. That included one of the most lavish and publicized weddings in the history of man! Think about that for a second. $1.4 BILLION for the Obamas…..$56 Million for the entire Royal Family.

Spread this article. Get this information into the hands of any undecided voter you may know. Beg them to ask you the questions that are keeping them in the “undecided column” and don’t be afraid to stand firm in your convictions when called upon to answer those questions. We must win this election. The media will not help as they are running negative stories about Romney at an alarming 13:1 pace over negative pieces about Obama. Obama is not a saint. He has zero business success in life prior to the White House and even less since moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It’s time to take the veil off the bride and reveal the thieving, lying, pig beneath. The honeymoon is over; it’s time to file for divorce!

As always, thanks for playing!

Transparently Dishonest…..

“The essence of lying is in deception, not in words.” - John Ruskin

Many believe that in the not too distant future, the act of deceiving a fellow human being will come to be known as “Baracking.” Although many of the words that flow so eloquently from the charmed mouth of our President are coated in thick shells of dishonesty, his actions are even more deceptive.

Set aside the horrific assault on American intellect that has been the White House’s response to the recent atrocities in the Middle East. Plenty has been written on that topic. The media won’t report it, but they are having a pretty hard time covering up the emboldened, suddenly inspired, anti-American speech being tossed about in the pit of the United Nations building this week. We’re revered as weak. Our Constitution is suddenly open to the interpretation of foreign ideology. No…..the media won’t touch that one.

For weeks we have been hearing about Mitt Romney’s tax returns. Those who oppose Mitt Romney and all the success he has had in his life seem to believe that his immense wealth will somehow come as a surprise to the rest of us. Anyway, Romney releases last year’s return as well as a summary of the last two decade’s worth of tax records. Democrats are still not happy.

In fact, I don’t believe democrats will be happy until Romney hands them something they can really sink their teeth into. That’s the way they roll. That’s how they fight. They ask their opponents to drop their cover. Democrats are the types that pick a fight with a much bigger man, then ask that man to fight without the use of his hands, feet, arms, or legs and with his eyes closed so as to make it a “fair” fight.

Much to the dismay of the liberal agenda, Mitt Romney doesn’t seem to have any of those proverbial skeletons in his closet. Instead, his returns show a level of compassion and charity most cannot fathom. The man gave away 29% of his income and the left claims it was “a trick.” Meanwhile, several of the leaders in the party known for spending YOUR money have not been so generous with their own. For example, over the last ten years, Vice President Joe Biden gave away a paltry .1% of his income to charity. Senator John Kerry, married to the Heinz Ketchup heiress…..he gave NOTHING in the last two years. Anybody hear anything about this in the media or was it trumped out by the noise of the Romney Witch-hunt?

Liberal hearts seem to bleed profusely, giving up money by the truckload when that money was earned by someone else. In their own lives however, their fat, rarely opened wallets and purses tell a different story. In fact, through analysis of Mitt Romney’s 2011 Federal Tax Return, we discover that Romney didn’t even take all of the deductions afforded him by law. Anyone think Obama or Pelosi would have missed a single deduction?

Now, since the media won’t do it…..let’s ask for some of that “transparency” Obama promised of his Administration. I realize that by now we should be taking Obama’s “promises” as seriously as Green Bay Packers’ fans take the integrity of the replacement referees, but let’s assume we have a man with at least some sense of honesty sitting in the Oval Office. Close your eyes and pretend that’s the case….

Okay, now that we’re all comfortably assembled in the land of make believe, let’s pretend that Obama was as much of an “open book” as his quivering little minion Jay Carney says he is. When asked in July if His Barackness would be making his college transcripts available to the public, Carney went off on a tangent about Donald Trump. “This is the same guy who insisted the president wasn’t born in the United States.”

That’s a discussion for another day, Mr. Carney. While there should not be lingering questions of any kind regarding the birth certificate of our President after four years in office, there seem to be many hanging over THIS President. Many experts have flat out called it a “forgery.” Many have said the same thing about his Selective Service registration form, calling it not only a forgery but a “crude” forgery.

That’s not what we asked though. The question asked of Jay Carney before he piddled himself and had to be put back in his crate, was whether or not President Barack Hussein Obama would release transcripts and records of his college days. It was demanded of George W. Bush. It was demanded of Texas Governor Rick Perry who complied only to be ridiculed for his relatively low marks. Why does His Barackness get a free pass?

This is not a “birther” issue, Mr. Carney. This is an issue of public interest. What classes did he seek out? With which professors did he align? These records would confirm the brilliance Obama so often claims to possess. Besides, who told the White House, especially their yipping little press secretary, that they get to tell us what is relevant and not? Maybe I want to see if The President of the United States of America applied to college as a citizen of the United States, or of Indonesia where he was living at the time of application. Maybe we want to see if he applied and attended as “Barack Hussein Obama” or if he was still going by his alias, Barry Soetero at the time. He attended Muslim schools in Jakarta, Indonesia as Barry Soetero. Foreigners were not admitted into Indonesian Public schools so there are some lingering questions there that America might want some closure on. Why are we not allowed to ask those questions?

This president has a propensity for downplaying and shrugging off serious matters. He has trained and commanded his loyal staff to do the same. I imagine training pads and shock collars were used, but I might be off base. Why is it suspicious when Romney releases records that don’t support your argument but Obama’s insanely expensive cover-up of his own past is dismissed as “laughable?”

It’s not laughable, Mr. President. It’s shameful. You promised us transparency but instead you have delivered paranoia, dependence, a weakened reputation around the world, dishonesty and manipulation of vitally important economic figures, and instability where we were once fortified.

Barack Obama simply must go. There is too much evidence, too many questions, and too little morale left in the wake of his orthodoxy. No matter what skewed numbers are thrown at us the fact remains that America simply doesn’t feel better off than we were four years ago. Until Jay Carney starts assigning me my feelings, I’m going to trust the ones God puts in my soul.

As always, thanks for playing!

Stop Playing Their Game…..

2012-09-20T11:06:00.001-05:00

“Man is not free unless government is limited.” - Ronald Reagan

Why are we not rejoicing? Why are conservatives not dancing in the streets? We have a nominee who is clearly playing a different game than that in which His Barackness is perpetually engaged. We should be celebrating; tossing our hands to the heavens and thanking God for the blessing of Mitt Romney.

In fact, I truly believe that most of us are doing just that. It’s not the boisterous, riot gear necessitating kind of celebration demanded by our political opponents, but it’s a celebration nonetheless. Mitt Romney may have been speaking to a crowd of friendly “investors” in the ill-fated “secret video” but the message is one we have all thought.

The message in that grainy cell-phone video is truth but our celebration is limited. Why is that? Why is it that we have evidence of a man who is finally addressing the single most critical issue of our day but our joy is so silent? The man we all hope will become the next President of the United States finally applies logic and common sense to an issue the enemy has controlled in the past and we allow the media to control the public opinion. Folks…..we ARE the public opinion! Start acting like it.

Mitt Romney does not have the kind of personality that will allow him to attack Barack Obama in the manner we would all love to witness. Unlike Obama, Mitt Romney has a Vice presidential candidate to take care of that kind of specific workload. We should not hide our loyalty to a man who possesses the strength necessary to see the world as Mitt Romney clearly does. We should be embracing that quality. We should be emulating that quality. We should be admiring, touting, and vehemently applauding that quality. Instead, we sit in silence while sniveling little lap-dogs like Jay Carney control the flow of public mood.

Mitt Romney needs to be given the room to lead. We need to be the “knockout punch” we all hope to see Romney deliver to Barack Hussein Obama. We need to give Mitt Romney the room to point out the fact that Barack Obama has spent more time worrying about his own legacy and his ideological causes than he has spent planning for the security, financial strength, and labor force participation of this country.

Mitt Romney is a great man. He’s a terrific leader who has “gotten the job done” whenever and wherever he has been asked to do so. There are literally hundreds of stories that point directly to the natural altruism of Mitt Romney. He selflessly gives of himself in order to improve the lives of others. Mitt Romney is the one who closed down the offices of Bain Capital and sent the executives out into the streets to help search for the missing daughter of one of his employees. Mitt Romney is the one who sat with a dying boy, giving him hope in his last days. It wasn’t hope of extended life. Romney gave the boy hope that his absence would bring fond memory of his presence. Romney gave hope that final wishes would be carried out according to the boy’s wishes. That’s the kind of man Mitt Romney is and these are just some of the myriad examples.

I’ll send $5.00 (USD) to the first person who can give me one, legitimate example of such a story involving the anointed Barack Hussein Obama. Of course, the Supreme One will take his cut of that prize, so you’ll actually only receive $.38 and I am required by Obamanomics to pay you with a combination of pennies from my car’s cupholder that have the sticky residue of spilled soda on them, and the promise of hugs. In all seriousness, where are the compassionate examples of altruism from the man who supposedly “connects” so well with the average American?

Such stories cannot be found because they simply don’t exist. The little bit that we do know of Barack’s Immaculate Rise is shady and disconnected at best. His life has been devoted to the ideology that now controls his decision making processes. He believes any opposition to his brilliance is a crime. He believes blind loyalty is the truest measure of success.

The game that Barack Obama has made of this Presidential Election is the game his ideological orthodoxy demands. Asking Mitt Romney, with his good nature and propensity for selflessness to participate in this game is like asking Tiger Woods to play linebacker in the Super Bowl. The only way Tiger would have any success in that setting is if he had an absolutely amazing team around him.

WE are that team for Romney. He won’t deliver the knockout punch because that’s not who he is. We should admire that. We should defend that. We should praise that just as ardently as those on the left praise Obama and all the free crap he’s stolen from us to give to them. We should praise the goodness of Romney as vividly as those on the left praise Obama’s consistent abandonment of our core values.

We don’t need a President who concedes to pressure from radical Islamics who insist that we abandon our own freedoms in order to enforce their laws. Obama is all too happy to oblige. Evidence of this is abundant in the disgraceful video of the alleged “filmmaker” at the heart of the Mideast unrest being led away by a herd of Police. Why was this man arrested? He exercised his Freedom of Speech. Why was the video of his incarceration made public if not to show Obama’s “tough side.” Hey, d-bag….appeasement is not tough! Our president is weak. His weakness is showing up in all sorts of sandy little countries right now. It’s showing up and all the clever speeches in the world can’t save him from his own miserably failed foreign policies. A true leader knows that the role often requires steadfast resolve even in the face of a decline in popularity. Obama would sooner sacrifice his own children than his own popularity. A leader like Mitt Romney knows that alliances with strategic media outlets, pollsters, and reporters only win temporary battles but leave open the possibility of devastating defeat in the overall war.

Be the voice. Stand up and demand a leader who doesn’t believe that at some point “you’ve made enough money.” Deliver the knockout punch so that Mitt Romney doesn’t have to sacrifice the goodness and leadership this country so desperately needs.

Barack Obama has shown a pattern of redistributionism and it is breaking us. Mitt Romney has finally sounded the call, but it is up to us to lead the charge. Flood the airwaves. Blitz the comment threads. DO NOT let the victims win.

He believes in redistribution and he will try to say that his words are those of a much younger, much less informed man. Nonsense!!! Those are the thoughts he has now learned to disguise with clever speeches, but they are visible in everything he has done since taking office. They are visible in every skyward glance he majestically casts. These are the very thoughts that drive this man, and OUR economy.

“What’s yours is ours.” “No one deserves more than anyone else.” “Life is owed to you.” “You’re a victim and someone needs to pay you.” “You didn’t build that.” “You’ve made enough money.”

Stand up. Defend our nominee and demand that the issues be addressed, not twisted. Demand that the 47% feel a sense of shame, not pride in their dependence. Return welfare to the embarrassment it was when Eddie Murphy made fun of it while wearing a ridiculous leather suit during his 1983 “Delirious” tour. Welfare, or whatever politically correct word we’ve come up with to describe it this week, is a disgrace. It’s not the “family business” Obama’s administration, actions, and ideology have made it out to be.

Obama acts as if he’s offended by mention of “government dependence” but proudly posts “The Life Of Julia” on his own website. For those of you unfamiliar with this atrocious display of anti-initiative, “Julia” is an imaginary citizen who goes from cradle to grave without every leaving the government teat! THIS is the philosophy of Barack Hussein Obama! THIS is his idea of freedom! Who’s paying the bills for precious Julia? When does she pay her own way, or pay for the next victim in line? Is that a problem for another generation, Mr. President? Are you happy to pass that on to my kids? I’m not but then again, you don’t care about MY kids since your own will be protected and insulated forever, huh?

Give Mitt Romney the room he needs to spread his message. Get out on front of him and, as my High School football coach used to say “de-cleat” the opposition before they can get a hand on our guy. The media is aligned with Obama but they are more aligned with profits and ratings. They cower to public opinion. Let them hear nothing but our opinion for the next seven weeks. We can make changes but we have to do it loudly and in a unified voice. Start yelling. United we stand.

As always, thanks for playing!

Disdainfully Written Off…..

2012-09-18T11:44:00.001-05:00

“Dependency is death to initiative, to risk taking and opportunity. It’s time to stop the spread of government dependency and fight it like the poison it is.” - Mitt Romney

His Barackness loves to refer to the “audacity of hope” when recalling his many acts of personal heroism. Unfortunately, the hope to which he so maniacally clings is not often accompanied by the “audacity of truth.” In the utopian world Obama has created for himself and those who worship at his altar of deceit, the truth is gasping for air. The truth is neglected, ostracized, punished, and left to die while glory is found in hype and charm.

Mitt Romney, once again finds himself battling this very resistance to truth. A video came out, as they always seem to do when opposition to Barackology is involved, in which Romney states that "There are 47 percent who are with {His Barackness}, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."

What did he say there that isn’t true? This is what the uproar is about. This is what Obama himself has called “shocking.”

How is it shocking Mr. “President?” You have worked very hard to create an atmosphere of dependency. Is it shocking that someone was smart enough to catch on or that they had the scrotum contents to call you out on it? What’s shocking is the fact that you, the President of the United States, would dare to call the words of your political opponent “shocking” but can’t summon such stern rhetoric in response to the loss of American lives in the Middle East. What’s “shocking” is the fact that you care more about the respect you feel you are owed than you do about the people giving it to you.

Nevermind the fact that the comments were made by Mitt Romney back in May at a fundraiser. This was not a policy speech. Romney wasn’t even the official nominee yet, but these words are seen as the nail in Romney’s coffin by the left and the loyal little handbag Chihuahuas in the media. They’ve been yipping and piddling on their newspapers all morning. Romney was responding to people who were considering investing large sums of cash into his campaign and Obama is “shocked?” So, fundraisers at George Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Jay-Z’s house are fine? Those aren’t shocking, huh? You were nice to conservatives with every word you said or will say in these events, huh Mr. “President?”

Mitt Romney should not have to defend the truth. 47% of the people in the United States are going to vote for Obama no matter what. That’s what Romney was saying. It’s a fact. This idea that these words are insensitive and worthy of apology is preposterous. It’s a distraction and it’s fulfilling Obama’s goal of keeping the campaign focused on anything but his record. Reminds me of a saying my grandmother used to share often: Sweeping a turd under the rug won’t make it smell any better.

Nevermind the statistical accuracy in the statements. 47% of the people in America were offended by Mitt Romney having the audacity to shine a light on their dependency so naturally Romney has “disdainfully written off half the nation,” according to Obama for America Campaign Manager Jim Messina.

Well, Jim…..here’s a few other numbers you may want to consider:

· 2.1 Billion – That’s the number of Christians in the world who were “disdainfully written off” when Obama referred to them as “clingers” in his 2008 campaign.

· 65 – 70 Million – That’s the number of Catholics in America who were “disdainfully written off” with ObamaCare’s Contraception Mandate.

· 27 Million – That’s the number of small business owners in America who were “disdainfully written off” when Obama said “you didn’t build that.”

· 7.8 Million – That’s the population of Israel. “Disdainfully written off” as Obama welcomes members of the Muslim Brotherhood into the White House but refuses meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu; “disdainfully written off” as Obama provides shelter under resumè padding, pseudo-democracy he has spread in Middle East.

· 6 TRILLION – That’s the amount of dollars Obama has “disdainfully written off” by passing on the outstanding balance to our children.

· 286 Million – That’s the number of Americans who believe in God and were disgusted with the ridiculous “vote” at the Democratic Convention. We were all “disdainfully written off” as was democracy itself in that shameful glimpse into the self-serving mayhem that is the new Democratic Party.

· 2 – That’s the number of Credit Downgrades assigned to the United States under the careful watch of Barack Hussein Obama. Our credit was “disdainfully written off” while Obama partied with celebrities.

· 23 Million – The number of unemployed people who continue to be “disdainfully written off” by manipulated labor statistics and forced government dependence.

· 49,000 – That’s the number of taxpayer dollars being lost or “disdainfully written off” with every ideology fueled purchase of the highly combustible, government mandated, Chevy Volt.

· 1 Billion – That’s the approximate number of dollars spent or “disdainfully written off” on Guantanamo Bay since 2009 when Barack Obama had just completed a campaign in which he promised to shut down the facility.

· 173,000 – The number of new food stamp recipients created under Obama’s watch. Work ethic has been “disdainfully written off.”

· 48 – That’s the number of days left until the 2012 Presidential Election. Are we going to allow logic to be “disdainfully written off” until then?

As Paul Ryan said last week “no one is better at striking heroic poses against imaginary enemies” than Barack Obama. These issues Obama keeps trying to force down our throats are not the issues with which we are concerned. Unfortunately though, this is the battle our current “President” believes he is in. He doesn’t see himself or his country as being threatened by Islamic extremism because in his mind he killed bin Laden. He honestly believed Islam would praise him but instead, they are vowing to avenge the death of their leader. Yet he dares to call Romney “new” to foreign policy. In his mind, Obama believes America is voting for the best speaker. The best wordsmith.

We have to take this election. It’s time to show Romney that he has enough support to ignore the distractions Obama keeps throwing at him. It’s time to give him the breathing room he needs. It’s time to unite and to take back this country from the 47% who are happier to take than to earn. Calling them out is not a mistake. Calling them out is not the nail in Romney’s coffin unless WE allow it to be.

It’s time to bring abundant shame down upon the 47% Romney spoke of. It’s time to return a degree of guilt to a life unearned. Obama’s praise is demanded in return for handouts. America has ceased to be the land of the free and is now the land of the free crap. The flow of dependency programs to those willing to accept them can only be redirected with our rudders of truth but we have to unite and stick them down forcefully into the unyielding current of Obama’s hype. We HAVE TO.

Stand up and defend Romney with the same vehement strength of those willing to take everything you own to avoid working for it themselves. Otherwise, you’ll eventually be one of them.

As always, thanks for playing!

“The first reaction to truth is hatred.” – Tertullian

Tertullian was an early Christian author back in the days when years were marked with only three digits but his words in the quote above could not be more fitting or accurate in their application today. With so many disgusting actions being taken on the part of a religion which demands respect where none has been earned, it’s easy to spot the hatred in their reactions.

Take a few seconds and a few deep breaths. Step back from the situation and try to look at it through a lens free of the smudges of politics and religion. Try to look at the tragic situation for what it truly is.

Four Americans are dead in a country that receives billions of our dollars every year. They are dead because the people who live in that country are upset about a movie made here in the United States. The movie depicts the Prophet Mohammed in what most would agree is an unfavorable light.

That’s it. That’s the catalyst for four American deaths. That’s the reason that this morning we are forced to view photos of two different American embassies in the Middle East flying the flag of al Qaeda rather than the stars and stripes. Our own flags lie shredded and smoldering on the ground as throngs of angry Muslims chant “we are all bin Laden.” (I guess bin Laden’s not dead, huh Biden? Should we check the pulse of GM while we’re at it?)

Okay, now add politics back into it. Add your own anger back into the situation. Stand up and show the anger and disgust that your very own President refuses to show. Stand up and slap the notion of Islam being a “religion of peace” down to the ground and then stomp on that notion until its future mention is tantamount to political suicide.

Islam is not a peaceful religion. Islam is a religion of force and the only way to stop it’s advance is to respond with equal force. Our current President is too weak to see things that way. He’s too weak or he’s too loyal to the Islamic education with which he was raised. Whatever his reasoning, it’s destructive, it’s dangerous, and it is enabling our enemies.

Stand up. Stand up and demand that our President stop demanding tolerance and forgiveness in the wake of American deaths. Stand up and demand leadership from a President who has only displayed appeasement thus far. We deserve better. We deserve leadership, strength, and a devout adherence to the core values of this great country. We DO NOT deserve a President who, upon hearing of the deaths of four Americans on American soil within the Middle East; spends more energy and time attacking the words of his political opponent than he spends attacking those responsible for the murders.

In fact, it doesn’t matter what we deserve. We need a President who doesn’t try to twist the facts of horrific events to fit his ideology but rather confronts evil, no matter what the motivation for evil’s presence, with steadfast resolve. We deserve a President who demands that those who receive generous aid from the United States of America understand that the freedoms we enjoy are what makes that aid possible. We also need a President who is willing to step up to the plate and condemn actions that leave American Ambassadors dead.

Did anyone else notice the complete absence of the word “condemn” from the half-hearted speech delivered in the Rose Garden by His Barackness yesterday? Did anyone notice the absence of anger? It seemed like he was told he “had to” deliver a speech before he got to go on his trip to Vegas. Like he “had to” mourn the loss of American life before he could go have fun.

Did anyone notice the loyal handbag Chihuahuas in the media lobbing questions at Romney spoken in the deceitful tongue of Obamanese? Did anyone notice that Romney actually took the time to answer questions after delivering what was pretty obviously a heartfelt message while Obama took no questions and was probably on his way to Vegas before the reporters could even finish compiling their notes?

Stand up dammit! Stand up and demand better. Stand up and assert logic where none is present. Stand up and demand accountability where manipulation rules. Stand up and defend yourself against a religion who condones death and violence when their “feelings are hurt.” Grow up @$$holes!! If your prophet gets his feelings hurt this easily, then maybe it’s time you start following a stronger one.

Right now, we have the ruling party of Egypt informing the United States that we must abandon our Constitutional rights to freedom of speech and religion in order to appease “one and a half billion Muslims.” Guess what, Egypt…..you have absolutely ZERO right to demand anything of America but you sure as hell don’t get to tell us who to prosecute based upon your beliefs. No matter how much President Obama may wish it to be so, Islam has absolutely no place in the history or values of this country. We are not in a symbiotic relationship. We are enemies and their attacks on our soil have solidified this fact.

This idea that the world owes Islam anything is ridiculous. It’s time for a President who will stop coddling these people. Barack Obama demanded praise for toppling Egyptian President Mubarak, but he had absolutely no clue and no plan for those who succeeded him. It appears that the Muslim Brotherhood did have a plan and we are now seeing its implementation.

By the way, did anyone know that Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin, wife of disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner (of Weiner-Gate fame) is a devout Muslim with undeniable ties to the Muslim Brotherhood? Check for yourself, it’s true. They’re infiltrating and we’re allowing it. We’re giving a voice within the framework of our government to the very people who want us dead.

Demand better America. Never forget the fact that all of this occurred on 9/11 either. If you believe that to be a coincidence, I have a lot of stuff I’d like to sell you!

As always, thanks for playing and GOD BLESS!

Eleven Years Later…..

2012-09-11T15:11:00.001-05:00

“Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat.” - George W. Bush

As we watch family members read the names of those who perished eleven years ago this morning, we are all reminded of where we were. We are all reminded of the pain, the anger, and the patriotism we felt as those responsible for the horrific acts began to celebrate what they viewed as a victory.

We will forever be reminded of President George W. Bush and how he bravely guided America, as one, unified nation, through the most devastating day in America’s brief but illustrious history. We’re reminded of the courage he displayed and the humility he allowed the world to see as he looked to those he represented for inspiration. We all remember those feelings.

The memorials taking place this morning in New York City are free from the insincere presence of politics. Empty speeches made to insulted crowds are not taking center stage this year as they have in past years. This is how it should be. That ground is, and forever will be sacred. Those who don’t understand or accept the fact that no words or level of eloquence will ever place them above our own recollections of 9/11 should step aside until they can do both. While the memorials are free from politics, we cannot afford to be.

I have not heard a single person tell me a story of recollection that involves our current President. America will forever remember President George W. Bush as the man who led us through the dark hours that followed the attacks, but how in the world are we going to explain to our kids that George Bush’s successor was a man no one had ever heard of on 9/11/2001? How do we explain to our kids that in the years following those monstrous attacks, we let our guard down again? We weren’t attacked by violent terrorists, but make no mistake…..for the last four years, we have been attacked. How do we look our grandchildren in the eye and tell them that our own guilt allowed us to elect a man with a name sounding suspiciously like the names of the men who flew the infamous planes into buildings and fields that morning?

I want a president who recognizes the fact that his country is in a fight. The fact that His Barackness spent a significant portion of his life in a part of the world that openly celebrated the carnage of that morning has very little to do with it. The catastrophic leadership provided in the last four years has undone much of the efforts made in the wake of 9/11 to protect America from ever feeling the unified heartache we felt that morning. I don’t really care where he was born, educated, or raised; his focus has not been on the continued safety of America. His focus has been on his own image in every decision he has made since taking office.

Eleven years after the attacks, we have a President who among other things, simply can’t contain Iran with his charm, has refused to condemn Syrian President Assad for his horrific acts against his own people, openly weakens America’s relationship with Israel, and is now attending less than half of his Presidential Daily Briefs. (PDB – The meeting in which the United States President receives a daily briefing on the most critical intelligence threats to the country.)

We deserve better. We deserve a President who still feels anger at the recollection of his own emotions that morning. We deserve better than a President who claims victory for the actions of others while openly condemning the very practices that delivered said victory.

We deserve a President who has no interest in appeasing the enemy by diminishing the Christian history of our country. We deserve a President who will proudly embrace his Faith. We deserve a President who will look to God for guidance as he leads America, not one who mentions God’s name only when cameras and poll-takers are present. We deserve a President who understands that abolishing the things our enemies hate is just as much a defeat to America as losing a violent and bloody war. We deserve a President who realizes America is much more than just a country. It’s much more than just a community of human beings. America is an idea. It’s an idea worth defending, emulating, and aspiring to.

I’m still angry when I think of that second plane slamming into the Twin Towers as I watched on live television with the rest of the world. I want to confront the very ideology behind that indelible memory. The fight doesn’t have to take place with weaponry and bloodshed as those on the left love to claim. That confrontation can take place without the loss of more American life. That battle can be won with steadfast resolve in the face of a relentless enemy and in the consistent application of common-sense. Both of those components require a new President in November.

It’s time to show a man no one had ever heard of on 9/11 that his Presidency will be remembered as a failure. His attempts to abandon the Christian history of America in order to make room for a belief system that encourages death to those who reject it can only be thwarted in his November defeat. He must be removed from power so that the ease of access enjoyed by those hoping to celebrate the fall of Liberty can be restricted and cut off wherever possible. In his absence, we can pursue evidence that will protect America, not the enemy.

There should not be a political aspect to the emotions of this day. They attacked America – not Republicans – not Democrats. They attacked freedom, liberty, and prosperity. They attacked us in order to legitimize their own standing in the hierarchy of terrorist organizations. They attacked us to spread their message. To that end, we deserve a President who will be more than just a messenger for the enemy.

Go and elect the President America deserves on November 6, 2012. Get this buffoon out of office before the damage he leaves in his wake is viewed as a victory by those who delivered such somber atmosphere to this date on our calendars.

Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

As always, thanks for playing!

The Screaming Majority…..

“All that is necessary for tyranny to gain a foothold is for men of good conscience to remain silent.” - Thomas Jefferson

It’s a quote used often to capture the essence of various situations in our political system. Jefferson was full of them. He was not afraid to speak his mind, but for far too long, his modern mental counterparts have done just that. Those of us who believe in the promise of America as fervently as men like Jefferson did…..well, we’ve been victims of suppression.

We’ve been suppressed by distractions. We’ve been suppressed by public opinion. And most importantly, we’ve been suppressed by a system that encourages and rewards those who follow an opposite set of values.

We’ve been scolded by people who pretend to be other people for a living. We’ve been chastised for believing in a God that George Clooney has never seen. We’ve been ridiculed for celebrating the birth of our Lord but Tom Cruise and his crazy spaceship captain of a god are worthy of constant affection. We’ve been labeled as ‘less educated’ than the boisterous opposition.

I am NOT less educated that George Clooney, I can assure you of that. In recent weeks, our voice has been gathering volume. The voice of those who have been referred to as the “silent majority” is starting to gain significant strength.

We are not the silent majority. We are the majority. Period. Kids scream the loudest but that certainly doesn’t make them “right.” Think about it. When was the last time you were in a Wal-Mart and witnessed a child in the throes of a high-grade temper tantrum? Did you think to yourself “man, I sure do support that kid’s opinion because he’s so loud” or did you silently wish the parent would bring harm to the child? Have you ever witnessed a 16 year old girl trying to get something that serves ONLY her own purposes? They’re loud, volatile, and completely void of logic. Remind you of any particular political party?

In recent weeks, the left has tried on several occasions to thrust their agenda down our throats and with increasing pride, we have swatted their opinions down like the manure circling flies they are. Chick Fil-A had the audacity to announce that they support marriage as it is defined in the Bible and the left lost their collective minds. At Willow Creek Water Park in Arkansas, discounts were being offered to church groups. Obviously, this is the beeswax of the group calling themselves “freedom From Religion”…..based in Wisconsin.

“Freedom From Religion” is another one of these groups who can’t stand the thought of public prayer, or any form of worship. They’re small, weak, and looking for an opportunity to gain publicity. Those who so openly and disgustingly sought to end Chick Fil-A for their public disobedience to the almighty homosexual agenda were greeted with the kind of strength, conviction, and resolve that needs to explode throughout this country on November 6^th.

America is tired of being told how to live, love, eat, and pray by the “misguided minority.” Many of you know “Pastor Denise” Simmons from Colorado. In a recent conversation, Pastor Denise mentioned to me that she had been “praying for President Obama.” Not praying for his defeat. Not praying for his unelection. Just praying for him. Praying that the man who claims religious awareness only when it will help his immediate image will eventually find the peace he is so eloquently avoiding now. The enemy is somehow deserving of Pastor Denise’s prayers. That’s a powerful and telling statement if you think about it.

Do you suppose His Barackness ever prayed “for” President Bush? Do you suppose there has ever been a time, given all of her supposed Catholic Faith that Nancy Pelosi has prayed for anyone but herself, her plastic surgeon, or her Obama assigned agenda? Faith in God involves standing in defiance of popular opinion when that opinion contradicts the word of God. No matter how much sniveling little weasels like Freedom From Religion want it to be untrue, Faith is exactly what was on the minds of those men who created this great country of ours.

Yes, our country was founded as a result of fleeing the religious persecution of England, but to compare that to the insidious attacks by the non-religious is not only absurd but also quite dangerous. In America, we are free to practice whatever religion is desired. We are free to abstain from any and all religious discourse if that is the path we choose. We are free to speak our minds and we are free to vote for people we feel represent OUR voice.

Somewhere along the line, the idea was planted in the minds of the left that the freedoms we hold so dear are only valid when they support the liberal agenda. The idea that what’s popular is more important than what’s right rooted itself in weak, liberal soil and we now face one of the toughest battles America has ever faced in our effort to beat back such lunacy. Success requires tough decisions. Success requires huge leaps into uncertainty. Such leaps are often referred to as “leaps of faith” for a reason.

Faith gives men strength where the faithless can only uncover fear. Faith gives us courage where opposition can only muster frenzied hype. Like that spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum in Wal-Mart. They’re not getting their way, so everyone must suffer until this grave injustice against them is made right.

Stand firm all you Right Wing Nutjobs. Stand firm in your conviction. Stand firm in your faith. God does not smile upon the homosexual agenda and he certainly doesn’t condone a country who would allow sexuality of any kind to be the basis for a vote. Not to lend any credence to the maniacal whackos at Westboro Baptist, but for President Obama to publicly support gay marriage while simultaneously stripping away the rights of a Church is not exactly what God had in mind.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will be demonized in the coming months. They will be attacked relentlessly but it is important for us, the “silent majority” to scream louder than the current popular opinion. Yes, you are free to practice religion as you see fit in America but nowhere does that freedom give you the right to suppress my Faith. Yes, you are free to speak your mind, but when your words and actions influence my child, you’re cut off. The incessant barrage of homosexuality is unnecessary. If it’s truly natural and not a choice as the left so adamantly claims, then pushing it down our throats would be a wasted effort. If it’s natural, then why are they having to push so hard across so many different mediums? Why is it so important that it be “accepted.” If it’s natural, it’s accepted. That’s how nature works.

No one is suggesting that gays need to be banned from existence. I’m not even suggesting that they be banned from our country. I’m not making a suggestion at all. I’m making a demand.

With my vote for Romney / Ryan in November, I am making a demand that this ridiculous campaign of immorality be commenced. I’m demanding that the White House become much more than an Altar of Deceit. (Thanks, Denise!) I’m demanding that our leaders, at every level, honor their jobs and not their agenda.

God doesn’t separate people into classes. He loves all living things the same. Faithful or not, God loves you. You don’t have to love Him. You don’t have to honor his commandments and you don’t have to pray to him. You don’t have to accept the limitless gifts God has bestowed upon your life but you sure as heck are not going to keep me and my family from doing all of those things listed above. If my son has questions about sexuality, it is MY responsibility to teach him and I can assure you, my teachings will confirm the teachings in the Bible. If you have a problem with that then you can raise your child within the confines of your own orthodoxy. You will not influence mine.

Pandering to the most frenzied, radical elements of our country and stirring up the looney-juice does NOT make Obama a good leader. Furthering an agenda that is clearly condemned in the Bible does not make him brave, it makes him a gutless politician looking for votes. Selling our country to illegal immigrants in hopes that they will return the favor with a vote does not make Obama a humanitarian. It makes him a slimy politician willing to do anything to retain his power.

Make no mistake…..Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t give a flying {Insert expletive} about you, your family, your faith, or your future. He cares about himself. Period.

As always, thanks for playing!

The Choice Is Clear…..

“The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions, but rather by iron and blood.” - Otto von Bismarck

When Mitt Romney stepped out onto the stage on the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, Virginia over the weekend and announced Paul Ryan as his running mate, he did so much more than just place an order for a whole bunch of updated yard signs, bumper stickers, and billboards. He clearly identified the choice with which America will be presented in early November.

This election is no longer about a choice between two men. It’s not a choice between the two political parties represented in the battle. It’s not a choice between east and west or north and south. The choice has absolutely nothing to do with skin color no matter how hard one camp tries to make it so. (Here’s a hint: It’s NOT Romney’s camp.)

The choice is between two idealistically opposite trains of thought. So much is made of the similarities between the candidates. Paul Ryan and Barack Obama once voted for the same bill…..as governor, Mitt Romney supported a healthcare bill with some similarities to ObamaCare…..Joe Biden wore a cheerleader’s outfit to the Congressional Flag Football game in which Paul Ryan played…..you’ve heard it all a million times. There are obvious similarities due to the fact that all the actors in this bewildering play are human beings. They are all men in the anatomical sense. There are bound to be some similarities, but the platforms upon which they are running their campaigns could not be more different.

Here are a few examples of the stark contrast between your two choices in November. Keep it handy and readily accessible. In the event of any confusion on Election Day, this information could be the difference between horror and peace.

Budget

Obama / Biden: His Barackness and Sleepy-VP have delivered unto us a total of ZERO budgets in their four years in office. Not one. In fact, the budgets that His Barackness has managed to send to Congress have received a total of ZERO votes. That’s zero votes in a Senate controlled by his own minions. Bear in mind that a budget is not passed in the same fashion as a law. A budget is sent down from the President as a framework within which Congress is supposed to work. Obama’s cronies have done absolutely everything within their power to insure that their long term financial plans are not put down on paper before the reelection of their anointed leader. In an age of $16 TRILLION dollar debt, Obama has failed to get a single vote for his budget proposals. Not even from his own party.

Romney / Ryan: Mitt Romney’s financial wisdom is readily apparent in his own personal success. He has been tapped by some pretty desperate companies to dig them out financial peril and he has done so. Obama / Biden will undoubtedly continue to aim their Weapons of Mass Distraction at American success but the choice is now ours. Do we want someone who refuses to display their long-term intentions, or do we want someone who has an undeniable track record of success? This is your money they’re gambling with. Which one do you feel has a more realistic shot at yielding a positive return? Hype doesn’t pay the bills folks, and America’s bills are stacking up quickly. Dreams and forced ideology won’t create the jobs Obama’s wide eyed freedom from experience claim they will. Tough decisions and realistic analysis will get that ball rolling. Obama doesn’t have the ability to train Biden in those aspects of leadership because he lacks them himself. The choice is clear.

Jobs / Economy

Obama / Biden: This dynamic duo has yielded America a net of ?????? jobs during their time at the helm of America’s economy. The true number will only be revealed after the unelection of His Barackness. Seriously, go out there and try to find a legitimate figure to tell you how many jobs he has created. This administration has blasted so much manipulation and irrelevance into the world that the real state of our economy is impossible to determine. Whenever tough decisions are needed, our current president relies on the advice of an extremely narrow minded and small group of advisors. Every jobs number that we receive is later “adjusted” for one reason or another, despite the fact that Obama campaigned on a promise of transparency in “his” White House. He claims years of success, but take a look around your city…..are you seeing it? Are you seeing the residue of failure in the foreclosed homes, closed businesses, and uncertainty in the streets or are you seeing the world Obama depicts in his charming, self-glorifying speeches? Obama believes the answer to all of our problems is more dependency. He believes all jobs should be government jobs and no matter what he may say, his actions clearly illustrate a disdain for individual success.

Romney / Ryan: Mitt Romney has delivered success wherever he has turned in his life. Obama / Biden will continue to focus on the individual stories behind Mitt Romney’s business decisions but as voters, our focus should be on the overall picture. Did those companies survive? In almost every case, the answer is a resounding “yes.” Mitt Romney is successful in ways no premature memoir could possibly make a man. Paul Ryan is disciplined and thorough. His intentions are set upon the long term success of a country he truly loves. His Barackness will claim loudly and often that Romney doesn’t care about the middle class. He’s right. Romney cares about America and he does so without regard to certain “classes” of Americans. He wants all of us to taste success. Our place on that food chain is up to us as individuals, not the government. We are all created equally, but we sure as hell do NOT work equally and therefore we do not deserve “equal” share in the fruits of labor, creation, and success. In comparison, Romney / Ryan is fighting for America…..Obama / Biden is fighting for preservation of party and nothing more. Your choice is clear: Do you want four more years of arrogant smirks, charming speeches, hype, and abysmal production or do you want someone who will step up and be more proud of his country than he is of himself?

Entitlements

Obama / Biden: Barack Hussein Obama dreams of an America where every citizen is forced to beg the mighty government for everything required of our meager little lives. The vision Obama openly describes is one of victimhood. It’s one of complete dependency. All success in Obama’s vision is shifted from the individual citizen to the government where he believes it belongs. His open disdain for personal responsibility has created a voice among his supporters that will be VERY difficult for us to defeat in November. Human nature is to love free crap but what America needs is for everyone to return to a willingness to work for what they have. Obama’s voice is easily heard because it’s backed up by legions of people who care less about America than they do about their possessions

Romney / Ryan: Mitt Romney believes in the spirit of entitlements, as does Paul Ryan. These views have been openly shared. These men and those of us who support them believe that entitlements are meant to get someone in need back on their feet. They are not meant to support a citizen of this country from birth to death as has become the case. Entitlements and social programs that support the idea of total government dependency are appealing to the laziest element of our society. They scream “greed” at us because we support capitalism but scoff at the label when thrown at them for taking money they did nothing to earn. It’s time for us to stand up, apply common sense, and stop the decline of the greatest country the world has ever known. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan can’t do it for us. They can lead the charge, but in the end, it will be up to each and every one of us. The choice is clear.

Do you want to be a victim, or do you want to be an American?

American’s work. Americans pray. Americans create. Americans think. Americans produce. Americans fight for what they want and they accept only what they have earned. When an American falls down, they do everything they can to get back up, dust themselves off, and get back to chasing their dreams. Americans love babies and don’t believe our own government should be funding their deaths. Americans do what’s right, not what’s popular. Americans stand firm in their convictions and don’t reinvent themselves depending upon the audience. Americans are proud of our actual history, both good and bad. We don’t try to rewrite it to suit an insane ideology. (They were “founding fathers” not “framers” you big bags of feminine wash!)

Americans do NOT create ailments for which total government dependence is the only cure. Americans do not blindly accept the hopes and wishes of a madman as fact. Americans do not take kindly to anyone overruling the Word of God. Americans do not make decisions based exclusively on skin-color. Americans do not accept the clever advances of an inexperienced buffoon over the evidence his failures have clearly presented. Americans are not obsessed with homosexuality and don’t believe that adherence to a gay agenda is the way to a prosperous future; it’s a distraction.

Are you an American or are you and Obamanite? The choice is clear.

As always, thanks for playing!

“Glory, built upon selfish principles, is shame and guilt.” - William Cowper

With the announcement of Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney’s pick for Vice President of the United States of America, we are now free to press ahead. Our goals have not changed. Our journey is still aimed at the same destination. The only difference is that the announcement seems to have lifted some obstructions from the path.

In a speech given yesterday afternoon in his home state of Wisconsin, Paul Ryan stated that “our rights come from nature and God, not from government." Anyone ever hear Joe Biden say anything that patriotic, historically accurate, or intelligible?

Unlike our current Vice President, Paul Ryan will actually serve a purpose in Mitt Romney’s Presidency. Paul Ryan has been chosen because of an extensive background of success and logic. His unique life experiences have shaped many of his political beliefs and his job will be much more useful than just providing a name to add to campaign posters. Joe Biden is nothing more than a running mate. Obama brings him out, dusts him off, and hands him a speech to read when necessary but for the most part, he has been kept under wraps for a significant portion of Obama’s presidency. Why would that be?

Why would someone with all the political savvy of Barack Hussein Obama choose a Vice Presidential candidate and then keep him out of the public eye like a celebrity’s love-child? It couldn’t possibly be because Barack Hussein Obama cares less about the United States and her future than he claims, could it? Honest inspection reveals pretty quickly that Biden was chosen for one reason and one reason only…..he’s obedient and dumb. Period.

He doesn’t ask questions. He doesn’t bother to form an opinion of his own, but is instead content to simply regurgitate whatever verbal nonsense is fed to him. He’s a much more attractive, male version of Nancy Pelosi. Or a male version of Harry Reid. You choose. (Yes, it pained me to refer to Joe Biden as “attractive” and I’d like to apologize to my father for any discomfort such statements may have caused.)

Paul Ryan will not simply “hold a title” within Mitt Romney’s White House. His life has earned more than that. His life has led him down a determined journey to which many of us can relate.

Paul Ryan, Sr….Paul’s dad used to call him “P.D.” to cut down on the confusion caused by their shared first name. Too many people confused it with “Petey” and Paul Jr didn’t like that one bit. His dad used to tell him that it is every generation’s duty to leave America in better shape for the next generation than it was when it was handed over to them. It’s a cornerstone of Paul Ryan’s political ambitions.

At the age of 16, Paul Ryan walked into his parent’s bedroom in Janesville, Wisconsin to find his father dead at the age of 55. In fact, his grandfather and great grandfather had also died of heart attacks in their fifties. While Paul Ryan has been open about the impact this tragic event has had on his life, what he has not said is more telling.

The discipline with which Paul Ryan maintains his fitness regimen is something Michelle Obama could only hope to mandate. She could never stick to it herself, but she could easily demand that all us minions do so. Any of you who have ever tried P90X, the fitness program, know how tough it is. Paul Ryan does so every morning. He’s healthy. Health requires discipline. Biden is neither.

The death of Paul Ryan’s dad also had a lasting impact on his political mindset.

Much will be made over the next 85 days about the fact that Paul Ryan used the Social Security benefits provided to him via his father’s death to pay for his education at Miami University in Ohio. The liberals will cry to the heavens that Paul Ryan is nothing more than a hypocrite because he now demands entitlement reform after using those very entitlements to earn his so called “place in life.” Like most liberal ideas, this is narrow, misleading, and stupid.

Paul Ryan saved the checks sent to him by the Social Security Administration so that he could use them to pay for his own education. While both of the underlined concepts in the previous sentence may be eerily foreign to a liberal, they are the very principles for which Paul Ryan and those of us who ardently support him now fight. They are the principles of capitalism. These concepts are the identified enemy of lethargy, victimization, and dependence. Paul Ryan’s life is a well written example of the idea behind entitlements. The impact that entitlement programs had on the life of Paul Ryan, with respect to the social security issue at least, are a stark contrast to the way they are used in the lives of Obamanites. Paul Ryan used entitlement programs to provide himself with the things his father’s death may have taken away from his life.

To the best of our knowledge, that was pretty much the extent of Paul Ryan’s “entitled” life. He did not cash the checks, squander the money, and then rely on even more handouts to provide him with a college education. To compare Paul Ryan’s use of entitlement programs to the rampant abuse taking place under Obama’s Dependency-palooza is like saying the innocent people on the planes on 9/11 were terrorists because they were on the plane too. It’s ridiculous.

Ignore the distractions that are sure to come in the next 85 days. In fact, let’s start a few distractions of our own. How about the fact that SCYTL, a socialist company with undeniable and open ties to the Obama Administration is in charge of counting the votes for 900 jurisdictions across the United States in November? They will also be counting the votes of our soldiers serving overseas. The CEO of the company; a man by the name of Perre Valles, made enormous campaign contributions to Obama in 2008 and is said to have been financially involved in Obama’s rise as an Illinois Senator as well. Seriously?

Am I the only one out here who finds this to be just a little bit creepy? This company gets to view all of the voting results prior to anyone else. There are no written records with which to compare any questionable results. This company prides itself on security and the inability to be hacked, but teachers and students at University of Michigan were able to do just that. In other words, the 2012 Presidential Election could very well be in the hands of a company that has openly supported the most corrupt President in the history of our country AND has already been hacked at least once that we’re factually aware of. Anyone feel good about that?

How many “friendships” does Barack Hussein Obama have to play down before America opens her eyes? How many vacations must we fund? How many failures must we suffer? How many lectures must we endure? How many apologies must we make?

How about the fact that 2,362 people received federal unemployment benefits in 2009 despite the fact that they earned more than $1 MILLION in that same year? Can we make a big ol’ stink about that one? Please! Does anyone think the people milking that system are of the same moral character as Paul Ryan? Something tells me that the majority of them support the opposing ticket but that’s just my humble opinion.

Stop the manipulation and the cries of racism. Stop the expansion of a government that is already out of control. Return personal responsibility to its rightful place atop the list of traits we aim to pass onto our children. Obama’s America does NOT fulfill the promises I have made to my son.

He can’t invite a group of Muslims to dine in the White House and then tell them that “of all the freedoms we hold sacred, foremost is freedom of religion” and then ignore the sacred principles of the Catholic Faith. Islam is NOT the religion upon which the country Obama was elected to lead was founded. Neither was Mormonism, but I never heard millions of Mormons publicly call for “death to America!” I never watched a Mormon behead an American citizen. I didn’t hear Mormons celebrate in the streets of their dusty little villages when the Twin Towers fell.

Are you going to fall for the charming hype in November? Are you going to listen to the next 85 days of nonsense and distractions or are you going to vote in the way that fulfills your obligation to your children. Are you going to vote in the way that you know in your heart will leave a better and brighter America for them than the one you inherited?

As always, thanks for playing!

This One’s For The Ladies…..

2012-08-10T11:45:00.001-05:00

“It’s hard to look for the light when you’re lost in the darkness.” - Anonymous

All she ever wanted was a better life than the one she lived as a child. She wanted a life far from the impoverished surroundings of her youth. Her parents shielded her as best they could but eventually, a curious child will break through even the strongest parental defenses. Despite the hard work of her parents, their limited income forced them into worlds where dreams are not often fulfilled.

Her parents had done their very best to provide a life of joy. They made ends meet with their extremely limited resources. They stretched and sacrificed more than her insulated mind could possibly have known at the time. Still, her dreams were of luxury and contentment. Dreams that often invade the mind of a young girl.

Finally, a man comes into her life and manages to sweep her off her feet. Their relationship moves quickly and before she has a chance to blink, that wide-eyed country girl is now a city-living housewife. Years pass by. She gives him two children but feels completely alone in raising them. The hero, as she had seen him in the infancy of their relationship is more stereotypical than original. He views her as his possession. He views her as his servant.

She sacrifices the loving respect she deserved for the life she told her friends back home she was getting. In exchange, she is given the privilege of living in his house. She is given the privilege of raising his children. She is forever in his debt. She relies on him far more than he relies on her and he never misses a chance to direct attention to this fact.

In public settings, he belittles her. He forbids her from seeing friends he deems “beneath” him. Her time with her own family is limited to hurried visits at holidays or birthdays; no more. The friends she used to rely on for humor, encouragement, and support worry when she starts to have more and more “accidents.”

The injuries from these so called accidents seem to be limited to the torso area. There’s never any visible bruising but the effects are apparent in her labored movement, breathing, and eye contact. The once confident smile that separated her from the crowd is now replaced with a solemn, glazed stare and a forced grin. Her vibrant, blue eyes now absorb light rather than twinkle as they did in the innocence of her youth. So obvious is the abuse, yet the hero goes unpunished.

The hero is admired by many. He’s the one all the neighbors will eventually tell a reporter about. They’ll describe him as “the nicest guy in the world.” Each one of them has seen the signs, but his charm and her ability to act as if her life is perfect keep suspicions to a dull, private roar. Human instinct forbids them from intervening. It’s easier to convince oneself that violence and abuse only happen in “other” neighborhoods than it is to help pick up the pieces of a confrontation. It’s one of those generally accepted cul-de-sac rumors…..no real proof. No one’s ever actually seen him hit her, but they all kind of accept the fact with quiet shame.

Then it happens…..he snaps. One of his outbursts spills out into the street where he drags her by the hair, screaming and kicking out into the yard. Their children are screaming for him to stop but his grip doesn’t loosen a bit. Her lip is bleeding and his rage is visible from a thousand feet. She’s screaming in terror…..begging him to please “stop.”

“I’ll do whatever you want…..please stop!”

Lights begin to illuminate the windows of neighbor’s homes. His rage subsides just long enough to let him know that his surroundings are not necessarily friendly. He notices his children crying. He hears the scream of approaching sirens and he reluctantly releases his grip on her hair.

YOU are one of the neighbors. What do you do? Do you support him as he begins his campaign to claim his innocence? Do you believe the stories and excuses he comes up with? Do you go along with the ridiculous reasons he uses to justify his actions?

Or…..do you stand up and support the woman who desperately needs a real hero? She’s in too deep. She can’t leave on her own because he’s got her too terrified to do so. He’s convinced her that she won’t survive without him. She’s a completely dependent victim. The damage he has done goes well beyond the visible bruises. They’re emotional and they are not yours to judge. Does she have to die before you take action? The cul-de-sac rumors are true and you are now faced with the decision to help the woman in need or support the abusive charmer. Which will it be?

That’s exactly where we stand as a country. When I hear numbers like 53-41 in favor of President Obama, it makes me sick. I’m talking about the polls which suggest such a staggering lead for Obama when it comes to female voters. It’s like the abused wife who’s too scared to defy the orders of her power hungry, uber-charming, abusive husband.

The women who blindly cling to Obama’s unfulfilled promises cannot possibly represent the margin the polls suggest. Ladies, get out there and spread the facts. Barack Obama does not love you as he claims…..he uses you for political gain. He doesn’t connect with you as he so eloquently states in his numerous daily campaign stops. Barack Hussein Obama is an abusive husband and the women of America are his trophy wives. He’s abusing each and every one of you but apparently, according to recent polls; only 41% of you have the courage to stand up for yourselves. Those of you who can honestly claim membership in that paltry percentage; you are to be commended.

Those of you who hide behind the costly shade of Obama’s charm, popularity, and hype…..we’re here to help. Just because we don’t believe the United States government should be funding abortions with our money, doesn’t mean we hate women. The fact that we don’t believe Sandra Fluke’s friend spent $3,000 per month on contraception does not make us extremists. The fact that we don’t believe Obama has the right to force a church to abandon it’s own beliefs does not make us zealots.

Barack Hussein Obama voted for legislation that would prevent a doctor from providing medical assistance to a fetus who managed to survive a late term abortion. He was the ONLY senator to vote that way. Yet we are considered to be the extremists in this situation?

That’s disgusting. That kind of mentality has absolutely no place running our country. That kind of thinking has absolutely no right to have any influence on the lives of my daughters. It’s time to break free from the chains of hype and take a stand. Women of America…..unite. There are plenty of real men out here who stand ready to fight alongside you. Not for you. Not against you. With you.

Michelle Obama is Barack’s incessantly mentioned example of what a “strong” woman should be. Do you agree? What has she done with the office she holds? Has she brought honor or shame to her role as First Lady of the United States? Having your picture taken with a shopping cart full of groceries in the local Target does not make you relate to the struggles of the single mother fighting for the survival of her family. Michelle Obama’s daughters will never know the fears and struggles faced by the women to which she claims to relate. Her world is insulated, pampered, and free. It is nothing like the world inhabited by the women I know and respect. (If you’re reading this, you’re one of them!)

Mitt Romney is Pro-Life and he believes abortion should be limited only to cases of rape or incest. In 2007, during a debate, Romney stated that he would “welcome a consensus that said we don’t want to have abortion in this country at all, period.” Despite the great manipulation skills of His Barackness, that does not mean that Romney is campaigning on a “promise to end all abortions.” Obama’s charm can’t grow old with you. His charm can’t provide the real protection, support, encouragement, and camaraderie you need. His love is for himself, not the vows he has taken to be true to you.

Obama is using you. He’s using you and we don’t want to wait until you’re lying naked in the yard with a busted lip and horrified children to take action. If you’re ready to flee his abusive rule, we’re here with open arms, impenetrable shields, and genuine respect. Welcome.

As always, thanks for playing.

“Our wisdom comes from our experience; and our experience comes from our foolishness.” Sasha Guitry

Because I never want it to be said of me that I am anything but a giver, I decided to give Obama a break in my last article. I allowed myself to believe that my vision had become too narrowed and that a break from Obamabashing would serve me well. I was wrong.

This man is a danger to himself and others and he simply must be removed from power. That is not to say that he should be removed in a manner that would cement his heavily romanticized legend, but rather that he should be voted out of office with staggering clarity. Fraud, corruption, and blind loyalty will insure a significant number of votes for His Barackness but they will be powerless in the face of overwhelming support for his ouster. The weapons of deception loved so adamantly by the left cannot penetrate the shields of true patriotism.

A unified, informed voice will overpower a weak, uneducated, campaign of hype and lies. Every single time. The problem we now face is that Obama is a master of deflection. It’s time now to beat him at his own game. It is now time to flood every single message board, comment thread, and social media outlet with FACTS. Facts cannot be dismissed as easily as the fabricated, politically motivated nonsense the left continues to hurl at Mitt Romney.

Their critical misstep is that they assume we fight for the same goals they do. They fight for Barack Hussein Obama. They fight for him because they have not yet freed themselves from the net of deception His Barackness seems to have cast over a frightening portion of this country. Well, guess what…..we don’t fight for any individual man. They fought against Bush in 2008 and they now fight for Obama. We fight for America. We fight for the core values that make this country great. We fight for the freedom to say “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays.” We fight for the right to publicly honor the history of our country and the decision making processes of the men who created her.

Those on the left who have repeatedly attempted to rewrite our rich, Christian history to suit their wildly obstructed view of reality will soon find themselves in search of a new ideology. We must make it so. We must stand up, and scream our desires to see another man standing behind the Presidential Seal. We must scream those desires in a voice so loud, it cannot possibly be ignored; here or abroad. We must do absolutely everything within our power to insure that the Resolute Desk is treated with the respect owed to it by means of the courageous documents to have passed over her surface and not as a freaking footrest. We must insure that the man sitting behind that desk cares more about America’s safety than he cares about his own image or the furthering of a destructive set of beliefs.

In Nigeria recently, a group known as Boko Haram poked their heads out of the woodwork long enough to demand that the overtly Christian, Nigerian President either convert to Islam or resign. President Goodluck Jonathon responded by saying that the people of Nigeria elected him with overwhelming support knowing full well that he was a Christian and he would not surrender that directive to blackmail.

Despite the fact that Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for numerous bombings in the Northern states of Nigeria, President Jonathon is standing firm in his convictions. Can any of you look me in the eye and say that you honestly believe President Barack Hussein Obama, separated from the bulletproof shell he now enjoys, and plopped down in the middle of a third world protection detail, would have nearly as much courage? Do you think he would honor his alleged Christian Faith, or do you think he would soil himself like an excited Jay Carney when he’s let out of his travel crate? Without the protection and insulation afforded the President of the United States of America by Secret Service, Intelligence Agencies, Armed Forces, and superior technology…..left to stand on his own convictions…..Obama takes the easy way out; every single time. You know it; I know it….we need to let the rest of the world know that America knows it.

Boko Haram, which roughly translated means “Western education is forbidden,” has claimed responsibility for several bombings. In over 40 Northern States of Nigeria, they have forced Islamic Sharia Law onto the defenseless people of the villages there, yet Obama doesn’t see the need to classify them as a terrorist organization. Despite the fact that several of their leaders are designated “Specially Designated Global Terrorists,” Obama sees no threat there. He even went so far as to say that religion is not this group’s motivation.

The group’s stated goals are the disruption of Christianity and implementation of Sharia across the globe, but religion is not seen as a factor by Obama and his obvious brilliance. Remember, he knows “more about foreign policy” than any of his advisors. Despite the fact that after a recent destructive raid on a Christian village in Nigeria, Boko Haram stated that Christians “will not know peace again” until they accept Islam as the one true religion, Obama doesn’t see them as a religiously motivated entity. This man is dangerous.

Obama is out of touch. He’s out of excuses. He’s out of his element. He’s out of his mind. Let’s make sure he’s out of office in November.

As always, thanks for playing!

Lonely Voices…..

“Education: The path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.” - Mark Twain

What happened to tragedy? What happened to the ability to see things as they truly are as opposed to viewing the world through the smudged lenses of our own misconceptions? This weekend provided yet another example of just such an absence of objectivity.

This morning, the people of Oak Creek, Wisconsin don’t really care what your particular political views may be. They don’t really care if you support Obama or Romney. They don’t care what union you surrender your monthly dues to, and they certainly don’t care what your opinion is of their community. What they do care about is the genuine outpouring of emotion that has come their way since the tragic shooting that left six people and one scumbag dead on Sunday.

We are so quick to assign blame in these instances. The mainstream media almost instinctively labels any kind of shooting or ideological based violence as “right wing.” They do so even in the face of zero evidence or credible examples to support such a claim.

A few weeks ago, when tragedy befell the Denver metroplex, connections to the Tea Party were almost instantaneous. Absolutely no evidence had been given to support such a wild accusation, but as long as it gets out there and gets imbedded in the brain of an unsuspecting public, then success can be claimed according to uninformed liberal sources.

Same thing in Wisconsin. Yes, the shooter who has been identified but will remain unnamed on this site because he doesn’t deserve the notoriety, was “heavily tattooed” and “unable to apply for further military service in any branch.” Even if the man was the most racist, vile, hate-spewing bigot on the face of the earth, does that necessarily mean he speaks for all of any group? Does the fact that I loathe everything about Obama’s failed presidency mean that I have anything at all in common with the man who gunned down six innocent people yesterday? No, it does not.

To associate this fool with any political party, ideology, or candidate is simply deceitful. There is no other way to put it. To use this tragedy for political gain is disgraceful. Fortunately, it appears that both presidential candidates have handled the event with measured, but sincere condolences. Sometimes, people just snap. Something in their brains goes haywire and it makes them do things that fall well outside the scope of acceptable behavior.

It simply doesn’t matter what the cause for such action may be. The idiots that carried out 9/11 did so in the name of religious zealotry. Think about the insanity of that statement for a second. Is that an excuse? Is it a reason? What exactly does that weak, absurdly generalized explanation cover? They killed 3,000 people. What God condones such actions? What God would explicitly call for such lunacy? Such a god can only be found in the hearts of truly lost men.

The media rushes to blame because blame gets viewers. People love to feel as though their opinions are shared. Liberals love this more than any other group of people in the universe. They love to feel as though their voice is the only voice that matters. They love to insure that you obey their beliefs and abandon your own. They conspire among the vast network of outlets they have worked so hard to create. They unite with one common goal and that is to blast their opinion and ideas into YOUR head.

All guns are bad in the mind of a liberal. Responsibility and care can’t exist because in the mind of the left and all those in the media who obediently serve the left, anyone who casts a vote contradictory to liberal orthodoxy is a mass murderer just waiting to open fire. We’re all just dangerous, uninformed rednecks who haven’t “progressed” beyond our primitive need for violence. The left believes we are too narrow in our view to accept the fact that killing Americans in the name of a non-Christian god is an act of progressive, enlightened thought. Ironically, their “progress” has also led them to the belief that anyone carrying out an act of violence against a person of non-Christian faith is a small-minded, right-wing, Christian-extremist.

Like the vast majority of liberal thought, this too crumbles in the face of logical inspection. The man who shot those people in Wisconsin yesterday may have felt called upon to do so by his own demons, but those demons were certainly not speaking with a Christian tongue. The voices in his head were speaking in the dangerously consuming tones of hatred, bigotry, and insanity. Too often, those voices yell louder than the voices of reason, logic, and understanding.

Assuming his reasoning was somehow related to 9/11, this idiot didn’t even get his misguided attempts at revenge right. He attacked a Sikhi Temple which is vastly different from his assumed Islamic enemy. The man hated everyone. He sang in bands that mumble their desire to see Jews murdered. In his deranged mind, Hitler was a hero. In his views, genocide was the answer. To what end….your guess is as good as mine. Just as long as the world looked like him, thought like him, and had sex like him…..then all was okay. When the world around him refused to conform to such maniacal directives, he opened fire on a perceived enemy.

While I do not share the religious views of the people who were gunned down yesterday, I certainly share their desire to live in a country where religion is a right afforded to every citizen. I choose to follow the same God that the founding fathers of America followed. I choose to follow Him and publicly praise Him for all that He has given my life. I choose to take my family to a Church where many other people who believe as I do gather and share our unified voice on Sunday mornings. In absolutely no way does that mean that I feel anyone who doesn’t believe in God Almighty should be served up with earthly justice.

Our job on Earth is to influence those willing to listen. We are commanded to reach out to those who could benefit from the word of God but we are not to do so in a manner that impedes the life of another human being. My God teaches me tolerance and acceptance of all living things. That’s what He teaches. I’m human and I don’t always act in a manner that would please God, but that’s because sin is a critical component of the Christian journey. Bullets are not mentioned in the bible. Hatred has no place in a Godly world. Those who carry out acts of violence in the name of any god are doing so for selfish reasons, not Holy ones.

As always, thanks for playing.

Same As It Ever Was…..

@JRobertGiles

“Complacency is a state of mind that exists only in retrospective: it has to be shattered before being ascertained.” - Vladimir Nabakov

Greetings proud capitalists. While life has seemingly forced me into a state of reclusion lately, my silence should in no way be interpreted as an improvement in Barack Hussein Obama’s honoring of the office he currently and tenuously holds.

In fact, many of you will be happy to know that during my forced absence, Obama’s stupidity was flowing with such force that keeping afloat was nearly an impossible task. Before I get into the bashing of our self-anointed king, I’d like to thank everyone who has extended a prayer or encouraging thought to my beautiful wife, Jackie as she courageously navigated her medical issues. I’d also like to thank all of those who have encouraged, supported, and listened as we both traverse some relatively delicate business endeavors. Couldn’t and wouldn’t do it without each and every one of you.

To my friends, family, and associates in the Denver area. The past few weeks have stirred some painful emotions but your strength is already shining through. Denver is a beautiful city which I am proud to be able to call a previous home. The stigma of tragedy will eventually fade. The lessons delivered through the pain will not. Honor them, not the horrific events that took them from us.

Now, back to the buffoonery of Pennsylvania Avenue:

So…..am I to understand that the President of the United States of America believes none of us are successful without entitlements? All you liberal, teat-sucking, leeches need not reply. We know your take on things…..”yeah, but…..it’s Bush’s fault. Obama’s so cool!” Cash your various entitlement checks and go on about your business! Logical people are talking here.

In what has become an all too familiar feeling in America over the last three plus years, we find ourselves in possession of maddeningly ignored evidence to the contrary of our President’s opinion, ideology, and actions. No, His Barackness, we are not beholden to the government for our successes as you seem to believe. In fact, I would say it is quite the opposite. Many of us would say that.

Barack Hussein Obama understands as much about building a successful business, small or otherwise, as Nancy Pelosi knows about appearing lifelike. I’m sure both of these beacons of political lunacy have their carefully mined examples of businesses that are not only well-known, but completely dependent upon government support for their existence. Of course there are going to be a few, but using them as a reflective sampling of small business in America is not only disrespectful to those willing to stick their necks out there, but also a clear glimpse into the dangerous vision of America held in the head of our current President and all those who support him.

The perpetual peddling of victimization is killing the very things that make America so unique. There was once a pride in our system of government. There was once an easily understood system of authority that Americans were happy to call their own. It was simple. Taxes were paid for things that made sense.

Then the politician was born. The United States government became a perpetual piggy bank for greedy salesmen, lawyers, and slightly melted wax sculptures of Christopher Walken like Hillary Clinton. The second politics started providing revenue streams to people willing to play the game of those willing to pay them…..all integrity and credibility was lost. No one can say for sure when that exact moment was, but I can assure you…..democrats were responsible.

While those entrenched in the Obama camp frantically try to back-pedal from this gaffe, I personally hope it is screamed from the heavens in deafening voices from now until November 6^th. President Barack Obama is nothing he claims to be. He’s not America’s first black President. He’s America’s first bi-racial President. He’s not moving us “forward” as he so passionately asserts. He’s moving us down. His ideas have failed. His policies are dangerously extreme and his circle of trusted advisors is shrinking to what I believe are alarming numbers. His casual, self gratifying approach to the responsibilities of his title should be taken as seriously as any terrorist activity.

I would also like to shred the little media weasels who seem to believe they will earn some sort of Olympic Medal if they find the most original way to inflate the damage done by Mitt Romney’s comments about London’s readiness to host such an event. I’m referring to weasels like NBCNews.com, who put forth an article by one Chris Hampson regarding the issue. Hampson spends several cleverly penned paragraphs explaining the horrific damage done to all the world by Romney’s insensitive actions. He paints British leaders as heroes for slamming Romney and his comments. The funny part is that right smack in the middle of Hampson’s article, NBC News posts an ad for another article about how the traffic, security, long lines, and congestion are frustrating anyone within a hundred miles of London. Are you seeing the irony, liberals? Then, when Hampson describes PM David Cameron taunting Romney by referring to Salt Lake City as “nowhere,” his verbal swooning got to be too much to read.

Why is it okay for a British Prime Minister to rip the Olympics that were very well organized and on the heels of America’s greatest tragedy as “easy to pull off” but to point out the glaring problems with London’s readiness is an international gaffe? Why does the American media have such a soft spot for anyone disrespecting their own country? It’s sickening and it’s time we had a leader in the White House, not someone who cowers to public opinion at every turn. Mitt Romney may not be the answer to all of America’s problems but he is most certainly the answer to her biggest problem!

As always, thanks for playing!

Looking Through The Wrong Lens…..

“Falling down is how we grow. Staying down is how we die.” - Brian Vaszily

Put as simply as possible, it’s time to get up before we die. America is about to hear the tenth and final slap of the referee’s palm against the canvas beneath her disoriented head. What other analogy can be used? What will it take to call you to action?

Last night as I lay in bed, battling sleep with my trusted remote control in my palm, I was literally shot in the face with Obama’s latest insult. This ridiculous ad he’s running about Romney being such an “outsourcer” of American jobs. Just about coughed up the lemon flavored cardboard my wife tries to pass off as a cookie. Fiber has no pace in a dessert!

Before I attack the lunacy that is our current president, let’s respond to the horrendous allegations and implications of his campaign. Actions that His Barackness himself eagerly endorses at the tail-end of the agonizing smut. In the ad, Obama’s morality-free campaign asserts that Romney actively sought opportunities to send American jobs overseas. Has there ever been a more classic example of the liberal mind?

Liberals are incapable of seeing beyond the individual. They can’t look at things in terms of “the greater good.” Their only mindset is selfishness and they continue to prove this fact with every ridiculous cause they champion. They prove it with every absurd stance they take. They reinforce this fact with every misrepresented truth they scream from their imaginary mountain tops.

Liberals are incapable of seeing beyond the immediate gratification of their insane ideas. Obama couldn’t wait to get into office and give all of our money away. He couldn’t wait to impose this massive healthcare burden unto all of us. He couldn’t wait to cast our economy into a victim dependent abyss. An abyss from which escape will prove to be impossible if we don’t act in historic proportions on November 6^th.

Liberals believe that a company is evil if it is successful. People have been bred by liberal rhetoric and subliminal attack to believe that success is something to be feared. Success is loathed because it is so envied. That is why liberalism is often “outgrown.” Eventually, life demands attention to self in order to survive. Life demands tough decisions that flimsy ideology simply can’t support. Life eventually demands that we all grow up a little.

When Mitt Romney ran the companies Obama loves to loathe, he did in fact send jobs overseas, but doing so insured the life and profit of the company he was running. See, in this respect…..companies are not individuals. A true leader cannot afford to look at his company through the needs of the individuals within it. A true leader takes the opinions and needs of his loyal employees into account when possible, but occasionally corporate survival requires decisions that are wildly unpopular at the “victim level.”

Business requires attention to detail, realistic vision, and the ability stand firm in one’s convictions. Romney has proven time and time again that this is exactly the kind of man he is. He has left a trail of verifiable success in the wake of his life, and his business decisions have exemplified this trait. Yes, Mitt Romney sent jobs overseas. It’s a fact. What’s skillfully omitted from this fact is that the company Mr. Romney was in charge of at the times in question all survived, In fact they flourished. Jobs were sent overseas because it made business sense. Jobs were sent overseas to reduce operating expenses while increasing profits. Those profits were then used to put Americans back home to work. The needs and opinions of the radical Islamic leaders of the madrassa Romney attended while living in Jakarta as a boy were never once considered. The needs and ambitions of Romney’s communist revolutionary alliances forged in his past were never taken into account. Sarcasm aside, Mitt Romney has the uniquely conservative ability to look beyond the manipulated madness of liberal reality and see the greater good. No good leader will EVER achieve 100% approval ratings. Even God can’t get that kind of approval, but luckily His existence doesn’t depend on such earthly endeavors.

Our government was not designed to insure the survival of you. Our government was designed to insure the survival of America.It’s time we start teaching people the difference. Success in America is not guaranteed. The right to pursue success is guaranteed but the journey is left entirely up to the traveler. Those who fail to plan appropriately will fail. Those who refuse to adapt to a changing market will fail. Those who align themselves with flawed ideology will taste defeat. Those who scream success when failure has been merely disguised will suffer in their own consequences.

Only a liberal could flash photos of himself in factories of companies that were given HUGE chunks of OUR money just before declaring bankruptcy and point to it as a ‘record of success.” Obama has not sent any jobs overseas because he doesn’t believe in jobs. Jobs are just a tool of those too stupid to see the brilliance of total government dependence yet. Obama’s outsourcing has been far more malicious and devastating than the opening of a couple of call centers.

Romney sent jobs overseas, but Obama has stolen our money in the name of insane theoretical beliefs and funded projects all over the world with it. Projects that serve no benefit whatsoever to America. To question these decisions gets conservatives labeled as selfish, right wing, racists. Am I racist because I don’t believe that stimulus grants to India for wind turbine farms built by Indians, manned by Indians, and constructed with Indian materials is as important as domestic projects? Am I a redneck because I don’t feel the Melanoma Institute of Australia deserved $162,000.00 of OUR money for tumor samples? Do we not have enough case studies here within our borders? Is cancer different in Australia? Am I selfish because I don’t believe Obama’s old stomping grounds of Jakarta, Indonesia deserved $15,000,000.00 of OUR money to clean up their air quality? Texas can’t get federal funding for flood damage, fire damage, mold damage, or crop damage caused by natural disasters, but Jakarta Indonesia; a destination to which Americans are “discouraged” from travelling for terrorism reasons, gets FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS of our money? THAT is the real definition of outsourcing. What Romney did was exactly what he was asked to do and the companies he represented survived. What Obama has done is to spread a sense of American failure and gullibility to the furthest reaches of the planet.

Here’s the rest of the OUTSOURCING in which Obama has participated during his Presidency as brought to us by the RNC.

· Switzerland – Over $50,000,000.00 in stimulus funds given to Swiss Firm Landis-Gyr. Obama Energy Department official Cathy Zoi, a former Executive Director at Landis-Gyr profited tremendously from the decisions of her own department. Outsourced cronyism.

· China - $39,000,000.00 to LED maker Cree Incorporated who used said funds to open and man a factory in China. Sempra received a $337,000,000.00 stimulus check to build a solar farm in Arizona. The solar panels are due to arrive from China soon.

· Finland – Fiskar Automotive was given a $500,000,000.00 loan guarantee to produce a $100k Luxury Electric Sports Car – being sold and built exclusively in Finland.

· Denmark – Danish wind mill maker Vestas received $51,600,000.00 in stimulus funds to build factories in the United States. Vestas recently announced they will be laying off as many as 1,600 Americans by the end of the year. Another solid investment of OUR money, thank you! $218,000,000.00 in Stimulus Grants to the Windy Flats Project – turbines used were purchased, built, and assembled in Denmark by Siemens.

· South Korea - $300,000,000.00 of OUR money given to the Korean manufacturer of electric car batteries. In return, they were to build plants in Michigan. They did. And they are now bringing in foreign nationals to work in those factories instead of local, capable, Americans. Our own Department of Energy has admitted that 11 of the 18 contractors on site are Asian firms.

· Mexico - $1,300,000,000.00 of OUR money to Mexico for the construction of the solar panels being used in the infamous California Solar Farm. SunPower, the firm building the panels has a factory in California but is choosing to build in their Mexico site instead. Mexican firm ABB received over $16,000,000.00 of OUR money to create green manufacturing jobs in the United States. After cashing our checks, they have laid off hundreds of Americans and transferred work to Mexico.

· Thailand – After taking our money in the bailout program, then showering union jobs with it, General Motors opens a $200,000,000.00 plant in Thailand. Why couldn’t diesel engines be built in Missouri, or at any other American plant? Why couldn’t our money have been used to give US jobs that we so desperately need?

· Vietnam – CEO of General Electric, Jeffrey Immelt is tapped to run President Obama’s Job Council and magically, GE gets $1,200,000,000.00 of OUR money. They build a $61,000,000.00 factory in Hai Pong to produce wind turbine components and have announced plans to ship even more infrastructure there in the near future.

That’s $4,210,762,000.00 of OUR money that His Barackness has shipped overseas and that’s only 50% of the 22 countries listed. (CLICK HERE for a complete list.) Grab one of these Prius driving fools who supports this imbecile and explain to them having calls directed to a call center in a foreign country for profitability and less government interference is a far cry from sending billions of our dollars to countries who feel they owe us nothing. Wake up, and educate those around you. Silence is literally tyranny because failure can only be the result of fraud or our own complacency. Rest assured.

As always, thanks for playing!

America The Beautiful…..

2012-07-03T16:15:00.001-05:00

Check Out The George Jarkesy Radio Show – Weekdays 3-4 EST

“The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.” – John Adams (in a letter to his wife, Abigail)

What are we really celebrating under the fireworks and pageantry of July 4^th in America? Some say it’s freedom. Others will tell you it’s a celebration of our uniquely brief history. Tangled within that history are heroic actions of countless Americans as well as a few rather embarrassing “growing pains.” Take a look at the textbook definition of July 4^th and it’s easy to see why it’s called Independence Day. It’s the day that the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson and four other founding fathers, was officially accepted. The separation of the Thirteen Colonies from the Kingdom of Great Britain actually occurred on July 2, 1776, but the great national celebration has and forever will be held on July 4^th.

So, again…..what is it that we are really celebrating during this “great anniversary festival” as John Adams so eloquently put it in the quote above? Quite simply put, we’re celebrating America. We’re celebrating the fact that this great land truly is worth fighting for. We’re celebrating the fact that no other nation on earth, no matter the span of their history, has accomplished so much in such a short period of time. We’re celebrating the fact that no other nation on earth, regardless of tenure, can claim as brilliant a governmental structure as America can. We are most certainly celebrating our freedom, but it’s not the freedom from England that President Adams spoke of. It’s the freedom within the borders of America that we celebrate. It’s the freedom to question the brilliance of our government when questioning is required that we celebrate. It’s the power to demand change based on the answers we are given that gives us cause for celebration.

Our freedom gives us the uniquely American ability to publicly question laws with which we do not agree but we celebrate the fact that as Americans we do so within the framework of a magnificently conceived system of government. When the freedom of one man is limited by the actions of another, we as Americans defend the victim. That’s the basis of America and it is that great responsibility that we celebrate with colorful fireworks, delicious barbecue, and baseball. What we do not celebrate is the abundance of “willing victims” present in our great country today. We do not celebrate the fact that “victim” has become a full time career for many of those around us. We celebrate our freedom, but we also celebrate our ability to grant freedom to so many who are currently imprisoned by a system that should never have gained such power.

This 4^th of July, take some time to consider how far we have come in the exercise of true freedom. Consider the sacrifices made to deliver the America we have today and consider the brilliance that went into designing our unique system of government. The frustration we often feel is directed at men within the government, not the government itself. To celebrate American Independence on July 4^th does not require birth within her borders. In fact, an argument could be made that those who struggled to obtain the freedoms offered within America’s diverse geography have a much deeper appreciation for the freedoms many of us take for granted. The men and women who fought for our original freedom from an oppressive Kingdom mired in antiquated systems of governance knew exactly what they were celebrating in the first July 4^th Festivals. Do we? Are we celebrating the same kind of freedom those brave men cherished as they watched “the bombs bursting in air?” No. We are not.

Tomorrow, when you hear His Barackness giving a well rehearsed, well written speech designed to tug at the heartstrings of an exhausted nation, ask yourself honestly…..”does this man really represent the freedom” you are celebrating with your family? Does Barack Hussein Obama, despite the appearance of patriotism, care about tradition, history, and exceptionalism of the country Thomas Jefferson heroically declared “independent” two-hundred-thirty-six years ago? Only the most blindly loyal Obamanite would be able to answer yes to that question without an uncomfortable gurgle in the pit of their stomach. To that end, I ask you to consider the fact that while the fight may not involve muskets, cannons, militias, or caissons its outcome is no less important. We are fighting, once again, for our independence.

Make no mistake that the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama will be the modern day equivalent of losing the Revolutionary War. That’s not hyperbole. That’s not right-wing fear tactics, or uninformed exaggeration…..that’s fact. The country designed by the brave men celebrating the first July 4^th festivities never anticipated the blatant manipulation of its inherent wisdom by a man adhering not to his patriotic duties but instead to an ideology completely foreign to them. Think about that as you watch fireworks explode against the night sky tomorrow night. Think about the America Barack Obama celebrates. Is it the one that our founding fathers envisioned?

Do you think George Washington would have signed a wildly unpopular law into effect against the wishes of the public, then manipulated its description to the Supreme Court, then publicly contradicted the ruling of that court to win political points? No. He would not have. That is NOT the system we celebrate on this day. That is the oppressor from which we now fight to free ourselves. That is the opponent, folks. The very people who have corrupted, infected, ruined, and stolen from a system designed to govern the greatest nation on earth. That’s both sides of the aisle. Enough time has been wasted; enough energy has been invested in the highly speculative task of properly assigning blame. It’s not important. What is important is the identification and seizure of opportunities in our future.

It’s time to get mad. It’s time to stand up and demand the return of American glory to the world. We owe it to the very ground beneath our feet to celebrate our independence tomorrow. So, the question remains; what is it that Barack Obama is celebrating tomorrow? He can’t be celebrating the founding principles of the United States of America because he has actively pursued devastation to such notions since his glorious ascension. Our celebration tomorrow should be emotionally similar to the months leading up to July 4, 1776. Tomorrow should be a day of celebration only if we are sincerely willing to stare down the barrel of every trick, deception, manipulation, distraction, and pathetic groveling between now and November 6^th.

Celebrate tomorrow brothers and sisters. Celebrate the fact that you live in a country who, when faced with destruction has always found a way to recover. That’s exactly what we’ll do in November. We will begin the road to recovery. In the early 1930’s, the New Deal brought about an end to the misery of the Great Depression. Men and women went back to work with a common, unifying purpose. Projects were designed with the notion of endurance. Pride in American exceptionalism was not kept hidden. Is not a secretive notion discussed only in the safety of home and family. It was public. It was a common voice. It was a collective voice telling America as a whole to “get up and fight.”

Ladies and gentlemen; we’ve arrived at that glorious threshold once more. It’s time once again for fireworks to mean something. It’s time once again to stand tall as Americans. We will not give into the sadistic whims of a man more loyal to twisted ideology than preservation of greatness. We will not bow before a man who would actively seek the absence of Christ. We will not seek the approval of a man whose allegiance is to himself over all else. We will not abandon our principles in exchange for more unfulfilled promises and twisted logic. Celebrate your independence tomorrow, Americans. Celebrate it and then go retrieve it! United we stand.

As always, thanks for playing.

“As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also.” - Thomas Jefferson

Every fiber of my being tells me I should be furious right now, but quite frankly; fury is not the emotion that comes to mind. Of course I’m never happy when His Barackness is given reason to celebrate but my general mood simply doesn’t match the level of fear I’ve held in anticipation of this day for the last two months. Maybe it’s the fact that I just returned home from a wonderful vacation with my entire family, or maybe it’s the fact that Obama’s celebration, as is the case with so much of his presidency, seems cheap and insincere. It’s as if he knows this victory is not really a victory.

The overall response to the Supreme Court’s decision today is confusion. I do not appear to be alone in my bewilderment. Those of us who had prepared for anger and revolution in response to the ruling we were handed this morning find ourselves in possession of contradictory emotions. We know at our core that ObamaCare is a bad thing. We are intelligent enough to know that the sight of a celebrating Obama is never a good thing. We’ve been conditioned to know that Obama’s celebrations usually mean devastation and misery for those of us on whose behalf he claims victory. A perfect example of this would be the arrogance with which Obama said in response to the SCOTUS ruling that “…now is the time to keep our focus on the most urgent issue of our time….putting people back to work…..” Apparently His Barackness believes the Catholic Church was bluffing in their promise to close all Catholic Hospitals in this country if forced to obey an “unjust law.” Apparently, Obama defines victory for the 765,894 employees of those hospitals as entry into the community of victimization known as unemployment. Those people, in Obama’s mind, must suffer for their insubordination and stubborn indignation in their opposition to his brilliance. Three quarters of a million people out of work is a mere grain of sand on a beach compared to the number of jobs companies will be forced to scrap in order to pay for this bill. But who really won today? Did Obama really win as his openly displayed arrogance would seem to suggest. The answer is an emphatic “NO!”

Obama did not win. Don’t be fooled. Don’t be hoodwinked any more. Don’t let the celebrity laden celebrations fool you. Don’t let the reaction of hospital administrators fool you either. Their celebration is strictly financial and has absolutely nothing to do with the healthcare YOU will receive in the future. The only celebration to be found in the executive levels of major hospitals today is the hope that they will soon be recouping millions of dollars in previously “uncompensated care.” The flood of “newly insured” patients clogging the arteries of our nation’s healthcare facilities is the elephant in the room. It’s a topic almost impossible to discuss without shades of racism but it’s a certain future. Despite the liberal pleasing agony that is sure to come, it’s still not a victory for Obama.

Today’s ruling is not a victory for Obama in the fact that this whole hearing and ensuing speculation has revealed that it is wildly unpopular among voters. It will be very hard for Obama to win on a campaign of “I passed the biggest tax increase in American history.” It will be very difficult for Obama to win in November after what is sure to be four solid months of logical dissent. People who are currently cheering the ruling are doing so because they don’t understand its impact. Four months is a long time to educate those people. By saying it was “definitely not a tax” in the beginning but then pitching the law as a “tax” to the Supreme Court, liberal lawyers won the battle but lost the war. They handed over the White House to Mitt Romney. Plain and simple. Obama swore there would be “no tax increases” during his presidency and he has now championed the largest in history. His “victory” has exposed him as a liar once more. The fact that he did not use the word “tax” one single time in his response to the ruling should tell you how much he fears the backlash. The fact that money is now pouring into the Romney campaign should tell you how America feels. This “victory” that Obama is celebrating today is like a football team celebrating a win in which every starter was injured. The American people do not want this law. Whether it’s a tax or not, it’s not what we want. Obama is publicly celebrating the fact that he’s exerting his will over all of us and it is going to come back and bite him in his lying ass in November.

Many of you are calling for the execution of Justice Roberts’ career today and at first glance I was right there with you. However, after reading his decision, it’s painfully obvious that Justice Roberts is playing for a much bigger victory than the one Obama’s insincerely celebrating today. Justice Roberts was expected to uphold the opinion of the party for whom he was appointed to represent in battles like this. People, he did just that. It’s not easy to see right now through the haze of anger and celebrating political foes, but Justice Roberts just gave Romney every piece of ammunition he will need to evict Obama and his insane ideology from the White House in November. Justice Roberts also forced the repeal battle back into Congress where it can be argued on a political stage. Advantage Republicans. The bill is likely to become even more unpopular as more and more people realize that it is in fact a tax as we’ve said all along. Clips of Obama lecturing his interviewers who dared to call the penalty for not having health insurance a “tax” will be played from now until November 6^th and they will only serve to prove that this man is an incompetent, deceptive, liar. Those in Congress who choose to side with Obama during the inevitable Congressional repeal process will do so in public and at their own peril. Justice Roberts, while unpopular today, may have just delivered what we are all really asking for. He forced Obama to celebrate something that voters hate. He forced the Obamanites in Congress to publicly display their constituent crushing loyalty. This ruling, while unpopular on its surface is a good thing.

While we are all a little disappointed in the Supreme Court today, it must be pointed out that they did their job. The way the argument was presented to them during the hearings left them no choice but to uphold the law. The fact that the liberals swore it to be anything but a tax in 2009 bears no relevance in their decision. Their job was to evaluate the facts as they were presented to them. If we wanted the “tax” issue taken out of the argument, we should have hired better lawyers. We didn’t and now this is the battle we face. Luckily, Justice Roberts is in fact on our side and he has arranged for this battle to be fought on our home field. He has arranged for this battle to take place against the backdrop of a Congress that has failed to pass a budget even once during Obama’s presidency. He’s arranged for this battle to take place prior to the election, not after as Obama so desperately wanted. One way or another, the support Obama needs to truly “win” is going to be noticeably absent when called to action. Even more importantly, the gift of Justice Roberts’ decision will force fools like Pelosi, Rangel, and Reid to publicly execute themselves…..on the record…..for all the world to see. A repeal vote is coming before the Presidential election, folks. It could come as early as next month. How will the quivering little handbag Chihuahuas protect themselves and their careers without denouncing their golfing God? When asked to choose between their own political futures and Obama’s, who do you think they will choose?

Like I said in the beginning of this article, I know I should feel angry today, but I just don’t. Despite the celebrations of my opponents today, I feel victorious. I feel like the kid who gets the keys to his dream car on his fifteenth birthday. Can’t drive it yet. Have to watch as others enjoy the thrill of my gift but eventually, that car will be mine. Eventually, this country will be free from the insane ideology of Barack Hussein Obama and Justice Roberts deserves some of the credit for that glorious and rapidly approaching day.

As always, thanks for playing!

Obama’s Taxapalooza…..

2012-06-19T16:27:00.001-05:00

By: George Jarkesy

@Jarkesy

A common theme since the Occupy Wall Street pageants commenced last year has been that Democrats and more specifically the President somehow represent the 99% and that Republicans only support the 1 %. This misguided thinking is aided and abetted by the Administration and mainstream media which continuously and purposely try to divert attention from the real issues that are Nation is suffering from (issues where President Obama’s track record is weak at best). The President would have Americans focus on themes that have no impact on the economic wellbeing of middle and lower class families. Sideshow issues such as the “war on women”, “gay marriage” , “temporary piece of tape on a 30 year old immigration crisis and Mitt Romney’s dog come to mind (although this list is significantly longer).

Masterfully, the 99% vs. the 1% storyline has been extended to the current discussion over a very important issue: Taxes.

The previously negotiated tax increases or the end of tax reduction period is set to take place on “Taxmageddon”, January 1st, 2013. It will crush our already fragile economy and seriously impact lower and middle class families. There will roughly be 500 billion dollars in annual tax increases. The media has painted this situation as a Robin Hood scenario, whereby only the idle rich get soaked, but let’s look at the facts. What actually happens when the clock strikes midnight on January 1?

First, we have the expiration of what are called “the Bush” tax cuts. Then factor in Obama Care which is set to implement the first 5 of its 18 new taxes in 2013. Heritage Foundation’s Curtis Dubay reports that American households (the 99%) can expect to face an average tax increase of $3,800 and that 70 percent of Taxmageddon’s impact will fall directly on low-income and middle-income families, leaving their pocket books $346 billion lighter.

According to the American Enterprise Institute’s James Pethokoukis, tax increases from 1980-93 add up to 3.3% of GDP in thirteen years vs. 3.5% of the GDP just for just one year in 2013.

Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke came out recently and spoke about the brazen amount of tax hikes that would kill the American economy saying; “under current law, on January 1st, 2013 there’s going to be a massive fiscal cliff of large spending cuts and tax increases.” Those are simply the facts. Here’s a glimpse at the increases that are scheduled to kick in for the five different tax brackets according to U.S News:

The 10 percent bracket rises to 15 percent (the highest % increase)

The 25 percent bracket rises to 28 percent

The 28 percent bracket rises to 31 percent

The 33 percent bracket rises to 36 percent

The 35 percent bracket rises to 39.6 percent*

(* rate at which 2/3 of small businesses profits are taxed)

So, while the Obama Administration paints this tax increase as something that only affects the 1% - notice that it affects the lower and middle wage earners significantly more, with a 50% rise in taxation in the lowest tax bracket. Distracting the public with class warfare rhetoric or other smoke and mirror tactics to achieve re-election is disingenuous, selfish and lacks leadership and integrity. What would really help lower level wages earners is to have more and better available JOBS and a thriving economy. Remember this, according to the Congressional Budget Office the U6 number (the unemployment figure which includes people who have supposedly STOPPED looking for work) tells us actual unemployment was 14.8% in May. Under President Obama we have seen the largest actual unemployment numbers since the U6 figure was established in 1990 and unemployment at levels similar to the Great Depression. The economy needs confidence and stability; we are in the midst of a crisis of economic confidence and instability.

Some simple things to restore confidence now are to extend the “Bush” Tax Cuts, put in place an actual budget (which Congress has put off for over 3 years), cut government regulations which are stifling small business and focus on creating pro-business, job creation environment. Take the government’s foot off the neck of small business and help get that that U6 number down and get America back to work!.

Keep your eyes on the ball and don’t let this Obama dazzle us with his sleight of hand tricks and remember the countdown is on for January 1st, 2013.... TAXAPALOOZA!!

“None of us is as smart as all of us.” - Ken Blanchard

Anyone who has ever been a part of a team knows that success requires discipline. Success requires a clearly defined mission and absolute preparedness. Success requires sacrifice and exhaustion but more than any of those things, success requires trust. No matter what the endeavor, the success of a team requires that all the moving parts trust one another. In business this is true. A CEO will carefully select each and every member of his or her executive team. Each member will be selected based upon their specific skill set and what the CEO sees as a unified vision where the company itself is concerned. It doesn’t matter what color their skin may be, or what TV shows they like. It doesn’t matter what school they went to or where they grew up. All that matters is that they know their individual assignment. They have to know their role and understand how their role fits into the overall mission. In sports, it’s the same way. In order to win a football game, every man on that field must know his individual assignments and execute them flawlessly. Not only that, but they have to trust each other. They have to trust that the man next to them has worked just as hard as they have worked themselves. Take away that trust and the rhythm of the game is disrupted. Resentment toward the unprepared teammate festers and grows as the game progresses. Blame becomes apparent and eventually, the team walks quietly back into the locker room, heads hung low, shoulders slumped, and defeat emanating from their pores.

Nowhere is the inherent trust of a successful team more important than within the ranks of our United States military. Precision, attention to detail, and focus are the difference between life and death. Hesitation or doubt is significantly more dangerous than any enemy or weapon could ever hope to be. When the difference between success and failure is measured in microseconds, doubt often results in death. Soldiers follow orders because they trust the chain of command. They trust the man delivering the orders to them just as that man trusted the man who delivered them to him. The mission is never questioned. Orders are executed and assignments are clearly defined. This does not always insure victory but it sure as hell hasn’t led to defeat. What happens if our military starts to distrust the orders they are given? What happens if the orders themselves start to be questioned?

We’ve seen it a million times in sports. The aging quarterback we’ve followed for years, hangs on one season longer than he probably should have. Our last memory of a once noble warrior is a slow, weak knee-kneed, interception riddled performance in which he simply seemed to be out of his element. The game itself has simply passed him by. Perhaps it was the competition adjusting for his greatness over the years, but most of the time it’s just a stubborn need to compete that sends him out there despite doubt among those depending on his input. The backup quarterback waits patiently on the sidelines, just waiting for his chance. The newspaper and sports shows start running more and more stories about the backup quarterback until finally, a legend’s career ends with a towel over his head, sitting on the bench, listening to the roar of the crowd as they applaud the heroism of his younger, more effective replacement. Those players who truly value team over self will display one, last act of public heroism as they stand on the sidelines and cheer sincerely for the success of the team. For someone who is truly committed to the mission, victory is more important than personal glory. Strategy is more important than selfish agenda. Of course they would rather be out there on the field, but they would much rather see a victory celebration.

Barack Hussein Obama is not your teammate. Barack Obama is the quarterback who hasn’t completed a pass yet, hasn’t even gotten a grass stain on his crisp, gleaming, white jersey but he somehow has a multi-year contract and several big endorsements. Barack Obama is the quarterback who shows up late, refuses to participate in practice, and blames every mistake on someone else. Barack Obama is the quarterback that throws seven interceptions in the first half but as he runs off the field at halftime, tells a reporter “these receivers gotta get open and our defense has to stiffen up.” Well guess what, partner…..your defense (Republican led Congress) didn’t throw the ball (Taxpayer Money) to six different defensive backs (1. Solyndra 2. A123 Systems 3. Chevy Volt 4. Ener1 5. ObamaCare 6. Unions) for 42 points ($5 TRILLION in debt).

The United States of America is a team. When you are part of a team, your concern is not with the opinions and off-the-field decisions of your teammates. What matters is that when they show up to play, they are one hundred ten percent focused on the mission at hand and the execution of their own specific responsibilities. His Barackness is committed to one mission and one mission only. That is the mission of the liberal agenda. He will sacrifice each and every one of you if that is what it takes to see his vision come to fruition. The victory celebration he sees in his mind will be just as grand whether you’re there or not. His vision is very different. Whereas America the team pursues victory for itself, Obama only sees victory as the possession of those who follow him. He’s charming. He’s eloquent. He has actually managed to convince several (millions) of our teammates (fellow citizens) that victory can be achieved without effort or sacrifice. At least not ‘their” sacrifice. He’s managed to convince several of our teammates that victory can be obtained without strength. His Barackness believes himself to be bigger than the mission of the team. In fact, His Barackness believes that he should be the mission of the team. He believes that the team needs him more than he needs the team and he has clearly shown that opinion at every opportunity. His mission is to perpetuate his own image and his own success. If America won’t deliver it to him, he’ll accept it from another source, but he will be granted the world he believes is owed to him.

It’s time to bench this showboating diva before he ends our season in training camp. I’m not ready to say that America is in her fourth quarter, staring down the barrel of playoff elimination. No. I believe America is just getting warmed up. Barack Obama will not be our starting quarterback as we head into the regular season. Barack Obama will be traded to another team and our new quarterback will be more focused on the success of the team than his own advancement. Our next quarterback already has the lucrative contract and the successful track record. He’s not flashy. He’s not going to get a lot of quotes pasted up on the chalkboards of other team’s defensive locker rooms. He’s quiet and sometimes shy, but when it comes time to fire the ball, he never hesitates. That’s what this team needs right now.

Re-electing Barack Hussein Obama would be the equivalent of letting Jerry Jones (Owner of the Dallas Cowboys) manages the Philadelphia Eagles’ Draft Day decisions. Sure, Jerry is smooth enough to make us all believe that his actions would be fair and in the best interest of the entire Eagles organization but his picks would surely benefit the Cowboys more than the Eagles. Each and every one of Obama’s “picks” have benefited himself, his friends, his supporters, or his ideology. Each and every one of Barack’s “picks” have served to further illustrate the fact that America is his opponent in so many ways. The trade deadline is rapidly approaching, folks. Make the deal before we suffer through another horrendously heartbreaking season.

“You may all go to hell. I will go to Texas.” - Davy Crockett

View Full Album

This week sure has made me proud to be a Texan. While I don’t currently live in Texas, the sentiment is the same as the sentiment felt by Marines. Once a Marine, always a Marine…..well that goes double for Texans. For those of us fortunate enough to have been born and raised in the Lone Star State, pride in our roots comes as naturally as our unshakeable accent. This week, like I said, has made me particularly proud. It’s not like Michelle Obama’s pride in America that she felt for the first time when her morally bankrupt husband took over the country. It’s not the kind of pride felt when your favorite sports team wins a championship. Those particular brands of pride dissipate quickly. The pride that comes from a birth within the borders of Texas is different. It’s the kind of pride that used to be felt as an American before the liberals made it fashionable to be too cool for patriotism.

When Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) told Attorney General Eric Holder to “resign” earlier this week, I literally clapped out loud at my television. That’s the kind of language we need out of our leaders. “Our” leaders, as in “those men and women willing to set aside political habit for the good of the country.” Those men and women who are of a strong enough character to look beyond political need in pursuit of American greatness. Eric Holder’s tenure as the Attorney General of the United States of America has served one purpose and one purpose only…..clear the road of any pesky legal obstacles His Barackness may encounter along his divine ascension. Eric Holder’s allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America has been tenuous at best. Holder has never once, in any situation, chosen the path of virtue when a path of self-preservation was an available alternative. Eric Holder has taken the position that will endear his audience to the mission of his supreme leader over that which will extend the life of America at every opportunity. Brian Terry’s family mourns the loss of their son and the one man that should have apologized first and loudest has yet to do so. Even if he were to utter an apology at this point, the motives would be suspect to say the least. Eric Holder is a sleazebag. He’s the scrambling understudy of the master magician whose curtain call will most assuredly be even more dramatic than the one we all hope will usher Mr. Holder back into this “doing just fine” private sector. Senator Cornyn did what any Texan would do when confronted with a wimpy little man in a suit hiding behind wimpy little laws and semantics designed to protect wimpy little men…..he knocked him on his ass. The Constitution of the United States should be the only thing Attorney General cares about. He should transcend the political opinions of his boss but instead he accepts them as heavenly scripture. He fights against the very philosophies and traditions that made this country great and he does so by ignoring, twisting, or blatantly misrepresenting aspects of a system designed to do none of those things. We applaud you Senator Cornyn. (And you too Congressman Issa, you just don’t fit into the whole Texas theme I have going here.)

It’s often been said that Texas is like a “whole ‘nother country.” Aside from the fact that it once was exactly that, it truly is like a country all of its own. Manhattan is known for its enormous buildings and big city feel but do you think any of those absurdly loud New Yorkers know that DFW International Airport is bigger than the entire island of Manahattan? During the whole “Bush Bash” that has been the Obama Administration, it has somehow become acceptable to dismiss Texans as unnecessary, redneck, illiterate, country, extremist, homophobic, religious zealots who couldn’t possibly know anything about American politics. Texans are just too dumb to understand the brilliance of a worldly scholar such as the man from Kenyagolulu scolding us from the campaign trail. We’re just armadillo chasing hillbillies in Texas, right? All we know is cow manure and greedy oil tycoons, right? Wrong. Texas demands common sense of a man. There’s something about living in Texas that literally targets the stupidity so readily accepted in other parts of the country. There’s a logical charm to the overall way of thinking that seems almost too simple for over-complicated attorney generals full of over-complicated, under-substantiated ideology to comprehend. It’s not taught in Texas schools but rather in the school yards. Manners are accepted and encouraged. “Yes ma’am” and “Yes sir” are not only appropriate but expected responses because that’s how polite people treat each other. It doesn’t matter what your political, religious, or sexual orientation may be; that stuff is up to you and you alone. What matters is that you respect my rights with courteous professionalism and I’ll respect yours in kind. It’s a simple way of life that many interpret as stupidity, weakness, or disinterest. It’s none of those things. It’s not a weakness at all. It’s actually the founding principle of a system that Eric Holder should be willing to die to defend…..innocent until proven guilty.

See, Texans have the unmitigated gall to believe that a person with whom they have no prior relationship is not an enemy or potential threat. They are so naïve that they actually believe a stranger is just that until such time as that stranger’s exercise of his or her rights infringe upon someone else’s freedom to those same rights. Until that time, that stranger is innocent and should be treated with the same respect afforded to ‘innocent’ people anywhere else in the world. Texans get out of the way in narrow grocery store aisles. We hold doors open for women and in Texas, the women say “thank you.” (It’s true, Saint Louis…..it’s actually true!) It’s not because we’re sexual predators. It’s not because we’re flirting. It’s not because we think you’re a weaker sex. It’s because that’s how our fathers raised us.

Occasionally, a story comes along where the entire country says “man I’m glad that happened in Texas!” If the Alamo was in Montana and it had been Canadians instead of Mexicans attacking, do you think there would be nearly the interest in the story? If Jerry Jones was a New York real estate mogul, would he be nearly as intriguing a figure? If the TV show Dallas had been called Boise would it have had the same appeal? Well, this past week has provided yet another of those stories where Texas provided a backdrop of justice found uniquely within her borders.

In the southern part of the state, in land that would seem like a distant planet to a New Yorker, a man was beaten to death over the weekend. He was beaten to death with the bare hands of another man. The man with the deadly fists was provoked by the sight of his four year old daughter being molested by the now deceased “victim.” There was a time, not very long ago when this would not have even made the news. The family of the true victim, the little girl; would have buried the body in a shallow pit in the back forty and gone on with their day. No fuss. No lawyers. People seem baffled that the father of the little girl is not being arrested. Even though he did what was right by protecting his daughter, people still seem concerned with the rights of the man who was attempting to fondle away her innocence. That’s where being raised Texan provides the logic the rest of the country is having trouble putting into words. That man, the scumbag who lost life; he lost his “rights” the instant he touched that little girl with thoughts of harm in his mind. His rights do not have the right to impede her rights. Her right to live a life free of attack from sexual deviants far exceeds any right the deviant had, has, or ever will have. Period. Indicting this man, regardless of the letter of the law, would serve no purpose. No father should have to consider the ramifications of protecting his child. Common sense has to step in and overrule a misinterpretation of our legal system that would afford any rights to a man attacking a child. Had he lived, then yes, he would have been afforded a fair trial. He didn’t live. He was punched in the head and he died. As far as Texas authorities are concerned, that seems to be the end of the story. As it should be. There’s no racial angle here, liberals. Leave it alone.

In his lesser known book Travels With Charlie: In Search of America; John Steinbeck wrote “Texas has a tight cohesiveness perhaps stronger than any other section of America. Rich, poor, Panhandle, Gulf, city, country, Texas is the obsession, the proper study, and the passionate possession of all Texans.” It’s true. I feel lucky to call myself a Texan. No matter where I am, I will still hold the door open despite the absence of acknowledgement because the acknowledgement is not the point.

Many times as children we are told to “keep an open mind” about certain things. Sometimes we get burned by our own youthful trust in the world around us. I trusted my mother when she told me to keep an open mind about Zucchini Casserole and it darn near landed me in the ICU with spastic colon, irritable bowels, a swollen tongue, and a delusional distrust of anything served in a casserole dish. (That may be a slight exaggeration but suffice it to say, the dish is not on my “Like Mom Used to Make” list of favorite foods!) My youngest daughter and my beautiful bride, Jackie share a sometimes consuming need to know exactly what is coming around the corner. Part of it is their unshakeable belief that the rest of the world is simply not capable of operating at their own level of efficiency, diligence, or intelligence. As I am perfect in almost every single way, I allow this little game to continue until they collide at a point where they both know what’s best, yet their opinions are opposite. It is very hard for either of them to see beyond their own ideas of how things should run. Having never suffered at the hands of such an affliction myself I find it hard to relate when they get to that frenzied level of assertiveness. It’s like an emotional dog-fight. Two Pit Bulls, in full body armor, driving emotional tanks at one another until one opinion wins and the opposition lies soaking in their own tears. Again, I may be viewing them through slightly exaggerated lenses and I’m sure they will inform me of such as soon as they have the opportunity, but the point is that we often get too caught up in our own ideas to see what’s right in front of us. We have to get that “last word” or the fight wasn’t worth fighting.

We’ve all had that relationship with that annoying couple who can’t stop themselves from reminding you how perfect their marriage is. You know the ones that stare into each other’s eyes as if they’re the only people in the restaurant? They talk down to others as if no other relationship on earth could possibly be as special, connected, or righteous as their own. It’s a sad part of human nature that these are the same people we are all internally giddy to see going through a humiliating divorce. It’s the same part of human nature that makes us tune into anything that might result in the on-air overdose of Charlie Sheen. It’s the same aspect of human nature that keeps admitting Terrell Owens into locker rooms around the various football leagues in North America. It’s one of those “on-paper” decisions. T.O. looks good on paper, and even if he destroys the cohesive fabric of the team, he’s sure to bring some publicity and interest. This is the world our media has created for us. Disaster brings higher ratings than relief. Infidelity is more interesting than the sanctity of marriage. Ideology is easier to sell than reality. And that, right there ladies and gentlemen, is the problem with our political system.

For three and a half years, we have been suffering under the results of a false reality. We’ve been told to look the other way while more and more mistakes are made and blamed on someone else. We bought into the ideology without considering the reality of that purchase. When I say “we,” I am of course just being nice to all of those poor, misguided souls who voted for Obama back in 2008 simply because of the mob-pleasing, attention getting, media friendly hope and change he promised. We’ve ignored the reality that this administration has left in its wake. Is it because we are weak? Is it because we are too tired to fight? Is it because we haven’t come up with a plan of our own yet or is it because we are simply being defeated? Whatever the case may be, the truth is that we have gotten so locked into one way of thinking that it has taken a slap to our collective faces to jar us from the trance. His Barackness being the aforementioned “slap” of course. Again, using the collaborative “we” as a courtesy to those willing to atone for their 2008 mistake; WE became so enamored of what Obama told us he could deliver that we never took the time to consider the possibility of failure. He spoke so passionately. He described this green energy powered utopia in such optimistic language. It was as if he had literally been there already. His blame of Bush made sense to a lot of people who had abandoned what we were warned would be a “long and difficult” road. Okay, you know what…..you people handed over the reins of your country to a mad-man. There’s absolutely no reason why I should extend you any more courtesies.

America is not as strong today as it was when Obama took office. That is an undeniable, iron-clad fact. His assertion that Republicans “ordered a big steak dinner” and then stuck him with “the tab” is just wimpy. It sounds like another charming excuse from the man who has mastered the craft. It does not sound like the dignified leader of the greatest country on earth. We’ve become enamored of the man who holds the office rather than the office. The President of the United States of America deserves better than the scuffing given to its name by the current title holder. That office is supposed to be held by a man with undying, unshakeable patriotism running through his veins. George Washington, with his rich, courageous, military background would shudder at the sight of the office he built. Thomas Jefferson would weep. Abraham Lincoln would stoically mourn at the state of disrepair plaguing the office he so proudly held. Ronald Reagan would bow his head and pray. We have allowed ourselves to trade “what was” for “what if.”

In his book The Five Laws of Liberty, Scott Hyland tells us to 1) Remember the Past 2) Embrace the Truth 3) Respect Humanity 4) Exercise Self-Control (Restraint) and 5) Protect and Serve Others. These were founding principles of our country. They were definitely characteristics of the men listed above, but what about the leaders in office today? What past do they remember? Is it the real one or is it the one they’ve created to justify their actions? What truth have they embraced? The only answer should be that the United States government is not bigger than the people it represents but can anyone honestly say that they believe this is how Obama sees his role in our lives? Does this administration show respect for humanity? The man’s got a “Kill List” for heaven’s sake! They show tremendous respect for those willing to vote for them in return. They respect convicted murderers more than they respect unborn babies. They respect celebrity over morality. They respect obedience over innovation. Do we even need to address the restraint issue? Has any liberal President ever shown restraint or self-control? If JFK worked in your office, he’d be that creepy guy who claims to have slept with every woman in the office. If Bill Clinton lived in the same world you do, he’d be in prison for some sort of sexual deviance by now. Do they protect and serve others? Ask Governor Perry of Texas just how much relief His Barackness granted the people affected by Tropical Storm Hermine. Ask the people who would have been given “meaningful” work with the approval of Keystone XL if they feel that Obama is looking out for their best interests or only his own.

We’ve lost sight of what the office of the President of the United States is supposed to be. It is NOT celebrity endorsements and fancy dinners. I find it insulting that Obama would dare to insinuate that Republicans ordered a “big steak dinner” on his tab while he is jetting around the country at a rate of about $180,000 (Taxpayer provided) per hour collecting $10,000 a plate dinner fees which go directly to his campaign. $40,000 to attend an evening with His Barackness at the home of George Clooney. Just because Obama felt that we shouldn’t have gone after those who attacked us on 9/11 does not mean that Bush was simply “racking up a tab” with the ensuing war. Obama acts as if he’s the first President to be handed some expenses when he takes over. His handling of those responsibilities has been abhorrent and simply cannot be blamed on his predecessor. He promised us success despite the requirements of such a promise. Enough is enough.

Would you rather we have a cool President to present to the rest of the world, or a strong country? Personally, I could care less how cool Mitt Romney looks when he’s delivering speeches. I could not possibly care less how many celebrities like him. Those are the things that we have been led to believe are important. We have placed importance on those things and as a result, our country is failing. It’s failing and it’s time to stop pretending the problem will go away if we act like it’s not there. It is there. Your kid’s on drugs. Your daughter’s sexually active. That mole is getting bigger. You don’t have any more money to spend. Those things you would address no matter how uncomfortable it made you feel so why is it so easy to get us to look the other way when our country is being stolen from us? This problem will only go away if we roll up our sleeves and clean up the mess. If we view Romney through the same lenses prescribed to us by the Obama administration, we’re doomed. Celebrity is not nearly as important as truth. Ideology is not nearly as important as morality or common sense. View the world through those lenses for a while, would ya?

As always, thanks for playing!
