Re-Elected To Do What, Mr. Obama?

January 19, 2013 by 7 Comments

Angry Obama SC Re Elected to do What, Mr. Obama?

 

Watching Barack  Hussein Obama give his “last” press conference of his first term in 2013 was quite telling. If you closed your eyes and listened, you might have thought you were in a banana republic somewhere in South America. Obama has a definite “I” problem when he speaks. “I will not negotiate on the debt ceiling”. “I will not cut spending on entitlements.” “If I have to go around Congress on gun control action, then that’s what I’ll do”. “I have been encouraged to simply raise the debt ceiling on my own authority.” Blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, ” I won the election; therefore, things will be done MY way.” This egocentric megalomaniac needs to be reminded of a few things to start the New Year right, I guess.

First of all, Mr. Obama, the voters in this country did NOT give you a mandate for anything. They simply maintained the status quo of Congress. Secondly, your power and authority are limited by the Constitution (you know, that document that you and your cronies promised to “preserve, protect, and defend”!) You are not our king or Messiah (at least to the people that I know), you have not been given the position of dictator (benevolent or otherwise), nor have you been given the power or authority to do as you please when you please. Thirdly, this is a nation of laws, Mr. Obama; and you do not have the discretion of which laws to enforce and which ones NOT to enforce. You too, sir, are also under the same law and dangerously close to impeachment (see Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Solyndra, etc.)

Your war against guns, Mr. Obama, is unconstitutional in any form that it takes. You want the Second Amendment changed, Mr. Obama? There is a procedure for that. Oh that’s right, you were a “Constitutional Law” professor once upon a time, weren’t you? Looks like you might have to brush up on your field of study, Mr. Obama. When the federal government goes out into the private sector and buys 1.6 BILLION rounds of .223 rifle ammo and 40 caliber handgun ammo when the government is trying to wind DOWN its last war, the people have a tendency to get a little nervous. You haven’t exactly been a pinnacle of transparency, Mr. Obama. Contrary to what your friends on the left may tell you, there are enough freedom-loving, God-fearing patriots still alive in the United States to make any kind of government intervention on our liberties one bloody fight.

You might want to remind Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that BY LAW, a budget is to be passed no later than April of each year. We all know that he’s been busy in the Senate blocking every reasonable piece of legislation to come his way, but he is 3 1/2 years late in getting a budget passed! Looks like ole’ Harry might just be in line for a little legal discipline himself! Oh yeah, I was just wondering that with the country’s economy going to hell in a hand basket rather quickly, if you have given any more thought to exactly how you are going to get us out of this mess without cutting spending?

You seemed to get a bit testy when any of the reporters at your last press conference pressed you for answers to the questions that they thought were relevant. Did any of your English professors at Harvard ever teach you to give short, concise answers? I know that you fancy yourself as Lincoln, but he didn’t recite the Gettysburg address every time he was asked a question. Why do you feel that you shouldn’t be questioned about your actions or your policies? Every President since George Washington has had to do that comes with the office. Maybe you’re trying to hide something?

You have shown by your actions in the recent “fiscal cliff” fiasco that you are not capable of compromise or face-to-face negotiations, nor are you flexible in your ideology (traits not conducive to an accomplishment-driven presidency.) You will find that the 2012 election will NOT be repeated again. Leadership is what this country needs now, not some ideologue who is hellbent on changing 200-plus years of the most successful and prosperous country in the world. America will not fall without a fight, Mr. Obama.

How are you going to explain to your middle class working base why their taxes went up when you promised them that their taxes wouldn’t go up even one dime? You have made too many promises, Mr. Obama; and you forgot that you are the “temporary leader” of a republic, not your own dynasty. You can be as arrogant as you want to be and as ruthless as you think you can be; but beware that, there are limitations to what you legally are allowed to do. Impeachment is a very real option, Mr. Obama.

Senators, Congressmen, And Mr President, You All Work For Us

January 7, 2013 by 7 Comments

Obama Feeds America SC Senators, Congressmen, and Mr President, you all work for us

A letter from a former Marine Corporal, Joshua Boston, has gone viral on the Internet. When I was done reading it, I was absolutely speechless—which to anyone that knows me is a miracle in itself.  I sat with tears in my eyes thanking God that we have such  men in this country. They have stood in places and fought and died, where you and I would probably never want to go and visit, let alone live there. This young Corporal exhibited maturity way beyond his years. He spoke out to California Senator, Dianne Feinstein, the queen of anti-gun legislation—even though she, herself, carries! No hypocrisy there. Joshua Boston said what needed to be said to these bubble heads in Washington D.C.

Senators, Congressmen, and Mr President, you all work for us! As startling as that statement is, it is true! Somehow the thinking got turned around in this country and the Washington D.C. power machine, started usurping the powers that were by the Constitution , specifically granted to the states. Money was suddenly being taken from all producers in this country and given to those who simply wanted to sit on their butts and contribute nothing. In 2008, the Progressives managed to elect a pathological liar as the President of the United States. Barack Hussein Obama. A man who cannot make decisions without a handful of women whispering in his ear.

Obama has flagrantly refused to enforce American law. He has broken American law by trying to hide violations of that law under such things as “executive privilege.” He has promised to violate the Second Amendment rights of all legitimate gun owners aided by his anti-gun Pit Bull, Senator Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein apparently has a CCW permit because she does carry a firearm; she just doesn’t want the average American to be able to do it. The Progressives want to turn America into a “gun free zone” so that the madmen in this country can rack up bigger scores. I just wonder who they will blame when they find out that their idiotic idea didn’t work. Forgive me ….I digress.

The only legal way for Obama, and his Progressive followers to legitimately confiscate America’s guns is to amend the Constitution, by getting 2/3 of each house of Congress to pass an amendment, then getting 3/4 of the 50 states to ratify it. Any other method of trying to outlaw weapons in unconstitutional, and would end up starting a very bloody civil war. If Obama attempts to put through anymore restrictive gun laws, then every person who owns a gun, thought about owning a gun, or is concerned about what other freedoms they are about to lose needs to get on the phone and ask their Congressman, or Senator if they like being in politics.

What I’m trying to say is this: Any law, rule, or regulation that restricts sane, normal citizens from obtaining a firearm is unconstitutional, and therefore illegal!! The Second Amendment was put into the Constitution to prevent exactly what Obama and his leftist minions are attempting to do right now, usurp all governmental powers unto themselves. Our Forefathers had to fight England, and a despotic monarch to allow this country to flourish. I believe that there are still enough patriots left in this country to do it once again if it becomes necessary.

No one, not even the President of the United States is above the law in this country. We are a nation of laws, not men, and it would do the Progressives well to remember that. 2013 is the beginning of a new year, and a chance for us to take back America from the redistributionist, who somehow managed to gain control of a country he hates. If you don’t like being a free citizen of the greatest country the world has ever seen, then just keep allowing Obama and his corrupt thugs to continue their pursuit of no accountability and you will find yourself a “subject” soon enough.

Maybe it is time for everyone in America to read the letter that former Marine Corporal Joshua Boston wrote to Senator Dianne Feinstein about gun control. I believe that that young man speaks for all of law abiding gun owners. It’s worth your time, believe me.

Obama Lays Groundwork To Begin Disarming America

December 17, 2012 by 33 Comments

Miss America w shotgun Creative Commons Evil Erin Obama Lays Groundwork to Begin Disarming America

Last night, at a memorial service for the twenty children and eight adults killed in Connecticut by an insane, twenty-year-old madman, President Obama began laying the ground work for massive new gun control laws.

Senator Diane Feinstein is already crowing about a “new ” ban on military-style semi-automatic rifles, along with high capacity magazines for both the rifles and handguns. No mention of changing laws that would allow the involuntary hospitalization of people with severe, or violent mental illness. No mention of re-examining medications given to such patients, or the need to change a system that lets these mentally ill folks voluntarily take their medications? Nope, once again, it’s the gun’s fault. By the way, what ever happened to the government program that paid for for having law enforcement officers in schools? That’s a question the Left won’t answer and won’t bring up.

One more time the Progressive’s answer to senseless killing is to strip the law abiding citizens of their right to be able to defend themselves and their families, not only from the insane and bad guys, but from the government as well.  What would Feinstein, and the anti-gun Progressives have done if Lanza would have walked into the school with a suicide bomb strapped to his chest? How about if he had done what the boys in  the Columbine High School killings did: prepare a couple of propane bombs—not very effectively, I might add. Would Feinstein have written legislation to ban all shotguns if that would have been this mad dog killers choice of weapons? If a crazed killer carries one thirty-round magazine, or three ten-round magazines, what the heck is the difference? It is not the weapons that they carry, but the intent in their minds of what to do with them.

By the way, Mr Obama, what are you going to do about the “botched” gun running operation, “Fast Furious” that you and your buddy Holder ran down in Mexico? The story is circulating that you and Holder tried to set this little illegal gun running operation up to set the stage for stricter gun control, but you boys blew it. Does the fact that thousands of Mexican citizens, and about a dozen American citizens have died (including at least three federal agents) make you an accomplice to murder, or maybe a co-conspirator, Mr Obama? Is that why you had to hide the details of the operation under the cloak of Executive Privilege? What would the public have to say if they knew the details, Mr. Obama?

How about Benghazi, Mr Obama? Four Americans, including our Ambassador, were killed in Benghazi, Libya, despite their please for help? There were enough resources in the area available to have rescued our people, but someone gave a “stand down order” to those forces. The questions are who and why? Word keeps leaking out from various source that it involved you and your Progressives running guns illegally to Al Queda, and the Libyan and Syrian rebels? Is that why officials in the know are suddenly developing amnesia, or are suddenly “unavailable” to answer questions about the fiasco in Libya, Mr Obama?

Senator Feinstein, why don’t you stop trying to disarm law-abiding Americans and start doing your job? Why aren’t you, and your other gun-hating Progressive colleagues trying to get to the bottom of a couple of other massacres, that might have been the direct result of our governments actions? You want to control guns in the U.S. and yet you can’t even control our borders, where a massive amount of illegal weapons are coming in to this country). The United States government is fighting an active shadow war right here at home with radical Muslims, yet you want to disarm law-abiding citizens. Why don’t you spend as much time getting to the bottom of what happened in Libya instead of your domestic anti-gun crusade, Senator Feinstein?

Obama is pushing this country over a fiscal cliff, but now his priority is gun control? I’m getting real tired of this President, his Administration, and Senators like Diane Feinstein letting blatant corruption go unchecked, while they try to figure out ways to strip the rest of us of our Constitutional rights! The priorities of this administration, and the entire Progressive movement are so screwed up because all they want is the power to control our lives. Nothing more, nothing less.

The killings from Columbine to Sandy Hook in Connecticut are all horrific. They are all the more horrific in the sense that they could have been prevented! Armed and trained personnel in the schools, whether it be a police officer on permanent duty in the school, armed and trained school personnel, or a combination of both, these children might all be alive! You strip guns from trained and responsible citizens and the United States becomes one giant shooting gallery. If you want proof just take a look at Chicago, New York, and Washington D.C.! These three cities have the strictest gun control laws in the nation, but these are also the cities with the highest homicide rates in the country? Ask yourself why?

The memorial for those children last night was not the place for politics, but as always, Obama couldn’t resist using the raw emotions of the moment to try and further the Progressive agenda. Those beautiful babies all died because of one man’s evil heart and intentions. The guns were the tools that this freak employed in his quest to shed innocent human blood. So do you punish everyone else in America for what this maniac did, or do we collectively try to find a way to make our society more secure? I hope and pray that we never leave our little ones open to this kind of horror again. I, personally, would rather die with a gun in my hands trying to protect my loved ones than to be helplessly on my knees watching them die.

I said to those who asked me how I would feel if I ever had to use my guns. My answer is this: If I never have to fire my gun in anger then may God bless, and if I do, then may God forgive me. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those in Connecticut, Aurora,  Colorado, Columbine, Arkansas, and anywhere else that evil has visited in these United States. May God’s love comfort you during this trying holiday season. God does know what it is like to lose a child.

Bush Tax Cuts Only For The Rich? Really?

December 3, 2012 by 3 Comments

Taxes SC Bush Tax Cuts Only for the Rich? Really?

If you are the kind of person who loves (or morbidly hates politics, but can’t get enough of it) then you have probably been following the negotiations between the Progressives (aka Democrats) concerning our “fiscal cliff” situation. You have probably discerned that our illustrious President does not really want to solve the problem in a bipartisan way. Obama, and his Progressive zombies have made it very clear that their intent is let everyone’s taxes go up, and blame it on the Republicans. The Progressives are more interested in destroying the Republican Party than in stopping the economic pain that the expiration of the “Bush era” tax cuts which inflict on those who can afford it least!

This action, or I should say “non-action” causes me to ask this question of all Americans. “If the Bush tax cuts helped only the rich, then why when they expire will they hurt everyone?” Could it be that Progressives have lied to us for the last four years in order to paint the Republicans as, evil villains, who are only out to help the rich?  Why is Obama and his minions claiming that all Americans are going to be affected by this economic disaster if it only affected the wealthy in the first place. I have repeated this question for a reason. Think about this for a minute: Obama, and the Progressives have been lying to you about who really benefited by the Bush tax cuts and now he doesn’t care if it hurts all of us in an attempt to destroy his political opponents using the American taxpayer to do it?

Is Obama in Washington, D.C. trying to solve this problem right now? The answer is no;  he’s out campaigning to force the Republicans to accept only his tax increases with no spending cuts! The deficit we have as a country isn’t because we don’t have enough money coming into the government, it is because the Progressives don’t want to cut out any spending! This country has to borrow .40 cents of every dollar that it spends from the Chinese because we have run out of money.

The Republicans need to simply walk away and make Obama and his Progressive zombies take the heat (or responsibility) for what is about to happen to middle class America. If the good people of this country really pin the blame on the Republicans, then this country has totally abdicated its responsibility as adults to demand accountability from its elected officials.  Obama has been playing at being President ever since he was elected in 2008. He needs to realize that it is he, and he alone, that we are holding accountable for the results of the fiscal cliff. It is not Valerie Jarrett, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid,  or any of Obama’s senior aides and staff’s job to lead—it is Obama!

The mantra of the “wealthy must pay their fair share” is ridiculous in the extreme because they actually pay double their fair share. How, you may ask? Think about this: a woman has an idea for a company. She goes out and finds investors— people to lend her money to buy equipment, and hire employees—and starts her business. She takes part of  her pay in stock in her company. The company does well, and she gets paid back some of the profit (as does every other shareholder) in the form of dividends on her stocks (shares) which she also has to pay taxes on again! Plus, if that woman becomes really successful (a multi-millionaire) when she passes away the government steps in again, and takes a nice chunk of change called an “estate tax.”  How in the world does anyone not consider this to be “not paying their fair share?”

All these Progressives who holler the loudest about what the rich have are usually themselves wealthy people, but they have an advantage that the ordinary citizen doesn’t, that is the ability to craft loopholes in the laws that they write that allow them to secretly keep more of their money, or do what the Kennedys did, and keep their money offshore! The Progressives are willing to level the playing field as long as they can stay above it all. As long as they retain control and power they are more than willing to redistribute the wealthy of those they don’t like.

I wonder if Obama is capable of switching from his constant campaign mode to a real leadership role, or if he is fundamentally incapable of making any kind of tough decisions on his own? It is troubling that with very little time left in this year the fiscal cliff isn’t Obama’s one and only domestic priority right now. He should be in the White House, burning the midnight oil, trying to hash out a realistic compromise, that will spare all of America one big economic headache. Instead, he’s out on the road telling the American people to call and put pressure on Republican congressmen/women to capitulate to his unreasonable demands. If you will look at what Obama, and his Treasury Secretary have come up with for a proposal, you’ll understand what I mean.

Barack Obama knows only how to blame other people for his failure at leadership. He is not capable of making easy decisions, let alone the more difficult ones. Keep your eye on Obama during this fiscal crisis and you will find out definitively why he should not be the President of these United States. Obama is incapable of leading, which means that he is incompetent. The power that this man holds without the responsibility and maturity to make quick, decisive decisions puts not only America, but the entire world in danger.

One last time, you need to ask yourself this question: “If the Bush tax cuts were only for the rich then why are all taxpayers going to be punished instead of just those who supposedly benefited?” Tell me it’s not true that Obama and the Progressives have been lying to us the last four years. This writer dislikes Obama because he is more interested in gaining political advantage over those who oppose the Progressive agenda versus moving America forward. He lied about that too.

Merry Christmas!

Is There Anyone Representing “We The People”?

December 1, 2012 by 10 Comments

We The People1 Is There Anyone Representing We the People?

If you stand back and watch the circus going on in Washington D. C., you would observe the following: first, the Republicans are so busy negotiating the solution to the “fiscal cliff” crisis that they forget that compromise takes TWO parties. Second, we have a President who makes “give me what I want, or else” ultimatums and then busies himself doing non-essential, unimportant activities, in the almost mistaken belief that he can pin all the consequences of his failure of leadership on the Republicans. The Progressives (aka. Democrats) have NOT offered anything more substantial than”raise the taxes on the rich”, knowing full well that it won’t make even a small dent in our debt. Obama and the Progressives merely want to punish the successful and keep spending like drunken sailors! The Republican dog keeps chasing its tail while the Progressives look on and laugh, feeling so smug that none of the fallout will land on them when in fact they are doing NOTHING to avoid the coming crisis.

What the Progressives are asking for is to give the heroin addict more heroin if he gives you his “promise” to quit later. Progressives aren’t stupid because Obama himself said that the biggest drivers of our deficit spending are Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. He admitted that these programs need to be REFORMED, not discontinued; but Obama also realizes that these entitlement programs buy votes and keep his Progressives in power. Hurt the seniors, the poor, and those in need; and you cut your own political throat. The stark reality for ALL politicians is that they realize that these programs are NOT sustainable in their current form.

The Republican leadership is so busy trying to diminish the influence of the Tea Party representatives because  the socialist left has succeeded, with the help of their propaganda wing (formerly known as the Main Stream Media), in painting the Tea Party as “extreme right wing nut jobs”  that they have ceased to hear the voices of real people. The Republican “establishment” has surrendered their spine in a vain attempt to be liked by the MSM, not realizing that too many of the media have already sold their soul to the devil.

Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Van Hollen, Chuck Schumer, and all the other Progressive leadership are all hoping that the country does go over the fiscal cliff because it will actually accomplish almost EVERYTHING that the Progressives want to achieve. Taxes will go up on EVERYONE! Tax rates will rise to Clinton era levels, and taxes on dividends and investments will rise, stifling economic growth. It also DOES NOT do anything to stop the extreme overspending by Obama and his Progressives. In other words, those guys want what they want with no compromise! I didn’t realize that we now lived under a dictatorship, but I’ve been wrong before.

Lindsay Graham, Bob Corker, and all the other Progressive Republican lap dogs need to stop throwing themselves face down on the concrete in front of Obama. Sit at the negotiating table like adults; and if Obama pulls his usual tantrum throwing and walks out on the negotiations because he can’t have his way, then go to the microphones and explain to the American people and lay out what was offered and what was rejected before Obama and his propaganda machine has a chance to spin the truth away.

Obama is appealing to American citizens (well, actually anyone in America, legal or not) to use social media to tell their Congressmen to give him what he wants with NO compromise. I ask you, before you do that, to think about this; if you taxed the rich totally out of existence, you may be able to run the government for six months. But you would have NO jobs and  no social safety nets. Inflation would be as bad or worse than it was in Germany during the Weimar Republic. History of that era is easy to find either on the net or in print. The situation of the Weimar Republic issued in the reign of Adolf Hitler as the “savior of Germany”. It kind of sounds like the praise that is being heaped on Obama right now by people like Jamie Foxx.

Republican Senators: you need to decide whether or not your principles, if you have any left, are worth defending or if you should retire to that chicken ranch you’ve technically been living on the last couple of elections. Standing in front of a mirror debating and compromising with yourselves is not what most of us citizens would call leadership (or even sanity in that case). It is your job, ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, to hold the President up to the responsibilities he declared he wanted when he ran for a second term. No more blaming others for his failures of leadership. No more leaving the hard decisions to his advisers, aides, or other politicos. You make him, and him alone, sit down and write out exactly what he is willing to compromise on (whether it be reform, change, or REAL spending cuts.)

It is time for Mr. Obama to start treating the opposition with some respect because he is NOT the smartest man in the room, as the media has made him out to be. He needs to learn to listen to opposing views and show himself flexible enough to deserve the honor and respect of the office he holds. If he’s NOT willing to act like a reasonable adult, then we have indeed degenerated into a third-world banana republic. Ladies and gentlemen, take a lesson from marriage…no one party EVER gets everything they want in the relationship if harmony is to be maintained, and compromise is beneficial to BOTH parties. Merry Christmas.

Now That You Have Won Re-election, Mr. Obama…

November 30, 2012 by 13 Comments

General Obama Forward Stand Down SC Now That You Have Won Re election, Mr. Obama...

Ok, now that the election is over, Mr. Obama, what about job creation? What about getting serious about lowering our national debt with realistic spending cuts? How about fixing our soaring energy costs and utilizing our natural resources instead of shoving imaginary, pie-in-the-sky alternative energy sources down our collective throats? How about you get off the coal industry’s back over carbon emissions while the Chinese continue to belch more carbon in the air than we could ever even come close to producing?

Show us your “comprehensive” immigration plan that will realistically protect our borders and not put 11 million mostly unskilled Mexicans in front of the line that other LEGAL immigrants have been waiting in for years! While you’re at it, why don’t you explain to the American people what Operation Fast & Furious was really all about! Why don’t you tell us what really happened in Benghazi, Libya, to cause you to sacrifice the lives of four Americans? (Hint: try short answers and no BS.)

Would you mind telling those of us on Social Security, Social Security Disability, and Medicare & Medicare Advantage how we  are supposed to benefit after you and your Progressives have removed $716 BILLION from Medicare to use as seed money for Obamacare? No, Mr. Obama, we don’t want to dance with you or your talking heads verbally; just a real simple straight answer will suffice.

Now that you have pulled out all the stops to gain the Office of the President of the United States again, Mr. Obama, are you going to start acting like the grownup in the room; or will your temper tantrums continue to mask your lack of leadership? The world is on fire, Mr. Obama; and you need to quit sucking up to the Muslim Brotherhood and figure out who our friends are and stop trying to appease our enemies. Try finding someone outside your Progressive circle of thugs who really knows something about foreign affairs, will you?

Are you and Vladimir Putin going to get together again now that you have more “flexibility to deal”? What are you willing to give the Russians in exchange for them liking you? Our missile defense secrets? Maybe the locations of all our ballistic missile subs so that the Russians won’t have to find them on their own? How about we pull out of all the places around the world that our Russian “buddies” don’t want us to be? I know! We let Putin reconquer all the Eastern European countries that they lost when the old Soviet Union collapsed! Hey, what a Christmas gift that would be!

When are you going to explain to the American people that you are going to be putting millions more out of work when your EPA fully implements their new draconian regulations for 2013? How many more community and local banks are you going to kill off because of the ridiculous “Dodd-Frank” bill, Mr Obama? I thought that you didn’t like “fat cat” bankers and financiers. Must be that the shakedown for political campaign donations was pretty successful, huh?

Is it really true that you’re forming a proletarian guard out of the New Black Panthers, Mr. Obama? After all, they did such a bang-up job of voter intimidation in Philadelphia that they should be rewarded by your Thugocracy for their loyalty!  If you get the Republicans to cave in on tax increases for the rich, are you going to increase Michelle’s travel expenses, especially for the holiday season? Have her send us poor peons postcards so that we can dream of exotic places right along with her.

When are you going to officially present your Attorney General’s idea of creating two separate sets of laws, one for blacks and one for whites in this country? All in all, Mr. Obama, I would say that you need to get busy if you’re really going to keep all the promises that you made to all the people to get their vote. You have four years to create a legacy for yourself, Mr. Obama; how do you realistically want history to remember you? When you do something that benefits ALL Americans, I will be the first to congratulate you. So far, however, you have not shown any leadership skills worth noting, and you now have NO ONE to blame for the last four years. What are you going to do now? Elections do have consequences, Mr. Obama. Are you up for the job this time? We’ll see. Merry Christmas.

An Open Letter To The Republican “Leadership”

November 30, 2012 by 13 Comments

Cantor Boehner Republican Congress SC An Open Letter to the Republican Leadership

Mr Boehner, Mr Cantor, and all you other  so-called “leaders” of the Republican Party: you need to listen up. You lost an election that should have been a shoo-in for conservatives; yet you allowed the chance to slip away for, what I feel, are a couple of really lousy political reasons. I have personally watched two very wealthy, kind, compassionate, and successful businessmen lose their elections to people who had mismanaged their prospective offices terribly. One was here in Michigan, when Dick DeVos ran against Democrat incumbent Governor Jennifer Granholm. The other was Mitt Romney, when he ran against Barack Obama. The similarities are actually very striking. Both incumbents were in trouble in their prospective positions because of inaction on their part. Economically, Granholm had done NOTHING to fix Michigan’s jobless circumstances, nor had she improved Michigan’s business climate. Detroit, Michigan’s largest city, was facing financial default; and corruption ran rampant in their city government. The same was true nationally for Barack Obama, with a few international scandals thrown into the mix (Fast & Furious and Benghazi-gate.)

What mistakes have you all made? How about letting the Progressives define who you were instead of you letting the public see you as you all are, or should be. Republicans always react too slowly to negative advertising from the left. You Republicans almost always go into political battle thinking that the Marquis of Queens-berry rules apply, when the Progressives are looking for a bare knuckle contest…no holds barred! Republicans almost always allow the Democrats to weasel out of having to talk FACTS about their ideas and agenda. Republicans have forgotten how to wage political war on the Progressives, as opposed to caving in to their lies and false accusations like whipped puppies.

The Republican “elite” didn’t understand the significance of the losses inflicted on the incumbent Progressive Republican candidates; and instead of helping to educate, finance, and encourage the Tea Party usurpers, they got mad and turned their backs on those people. You Republicans had a great opportunity to capture a couple more Senate seats as well as increase your numbers in the House of Representatives, but your egos and pettiness got in the way. Congressman Allen West lost his seat to fraud and corruption, so where were you “leaders” in preventing this?

You so-called “leaders”, Mr Boehner, are all too eager to let the “Mainstream Media’ define events with their spin instead of giving American citizens the chance to hear the truth. I know there are ways around the media to take your message directly to the American public because Ronald Reagan did it! You allow the MSM to define too often what their version of issues are (usually with a left-leaning tilt).

You guys in the Republican leadership always seems to be way too worried about looking badly in public. Leadership is always looking for a compromise even before the Progressives offer ANYTHING. We’re headed for a fiscal cliff? Good, let’s go over it and show the American people how Obama really isn’t looking out for the American people. The Progressives’ ONE major demand is to raise tax rates on those making over $250k a year, which will do absolutely NOTHING to reduce the deficit in this country. Let the American people, for once, watch the irresponsible Progressives cause the economic train wreck that they could have prevented long ago. Demand NO tax hikes on ANYONE without at least a 10-1 spending cut to tax increase ratio. Make the spending cuts first so that the Progressives cannot weasel out of those cuts like they have every other time they’ve made that deal. The Progressives will say anything to get their tax increases, yet refuse to stop spending money this country no longer has. Let them explain to hardworking taxpayers why they refuse to be fiscally responsible. Let the Progressives explain why they refuse to stop borrowing 40 cents of every dollar spent from China, a nation that is NOT our friend!

You guys need to put an end to Progressives calling Tea Party members “extremists and bigots” because if you would take the time to look at Obama and his crew of Chicago thugs, you would realize that it is the Socialists trying to defame American patriots using scare tactics. I ask that you get a spine, Mr. Boehner. Defund Planned Parenthood along with Obamacare and the EPA. If you’re not willing to protect our Constitution, Mr. Boehner, then why are you even in the leadership?

Ronald Reagan was a gentleman and a great President. He knew how to get the conservative message out to the people despite the media’s best attempts at trying to make him out to be a buffoon. He didn’t take any garbage from anybody, yet he knew how to sit down with the late Democrat Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill and reach an agreement on things that were good for the nation. The Republican Party needs to ditch the country club/elitist mentality they have, take off the gloves, and start fighting for this country while there is still a country worth fighting for. If you like being permanently in the minority,  just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s working perfectly. Merry Christmas.

An Open Letter To Gun-Grabbing Senator Dianne Feinstein

November 28, 2012 by 20 Comments

Dianne Feinstein SC An Open Letter to Gun Grabbing Senator Dianne Feinstein

Senator Feinstein, I have been to your website and read that once again you are seeking a ban on certain kinds of semi automatic weapons, high capacity magazines, and pistol grips on said rifles. Before their were semiautomatic rifles that looked like military firearms, there were revolvers, shotguns, hunting rifles knives, hatchets, bows and arrows, tomahawks, lances, crossbows, hammers, maces, axes, blowguns, and even real machine guns. My question then, is why are you constantly picking on rifles or hand guns that can only fire as fast as you can pull the trigger? It doesn’t matter whether the magazine can hold 5 shots or a hundred if the bonehead firing the weapon is intent on killing fellow human beings. Besides, if another citizen is armed in proximity to the shooter, that person, if well trained, can put a stop to that murderous action long before law enforcement gets to the scene.

Why are you so hellbent on taking guns away from law abiding people? Did someone shoot your pet cat when you were very young? Our illustrious President seems just as determined as you are to turn our Second Amendment rights over to the United Nations so that they can do the dirty work for you Progressives. Is this desire to control every aspect of other people’s lives something that you are born with, bred into you, or do you learn it in our fine public educational institutions? Murder has been around as long as man has existed. Somehow or someway, a person bent on killing will find a way to do it; and nothing short of incarcerating that person on suspicion of wanting to commit murder will stop such things from happening. However, if you were to ENCOURAGE citizens ( both men and women) to get proper firearms training and practice to become proficient with that weapon(s), then you would probably stop a lot of murderous action before it got very far. A well armed citizenry will provide added safety and protection for their fellow citizens, whereas a disarmed citizenry provides nothing but targets, Senator.

This country has not been invaded since the war of 1812; and I, along with millions of others believe that it is partially due to the fact that Americans are so well armed. We pose a formidable deterrent to those who would try to take this country by force; so what are you Progressives REALLY afraid of, Senator Feinstein? Is it that you think an unarmed America would be more “pliable” or submissive to your rule? I find that thinking quite disturbing. The war on terror has been shown to be alive and well even in our own country, and Hurricane Sandy showed America that our Federal, state, and local governments can be overwhelmed by a natural disaster and a major attack all too quickly. People in New York and New Jersey are still without power. Homes were looted over the Thanksgiving weekend, Senator. Where was law enforcement?

I read on your website something about wanting to put a stop to an unnecessary “massacre” due to assault weapons. Why is it that you and your feminist friends have allowed the massacre of over 50 million of our unborn to die by the suction tube, scalpel, or saline solution (which by the way literally burns an unborn child to death in the womb)? Why is that an acceptable form of murder, Senator? When are you going to stop that massacre? If women have a right to choose to kill their unborn children, then I have a God-given right to protect my family, my fellow citizens, and my country with my legally-owned and licensed firearms, Senator.

This hypocrisy from you and your fellow politicians is disgusting. Start spending more of your time solving some of the critical problems that are staring us in the face right now and quit meddling in our personal lives. If you don’t have enough to keep you busy, then maybe all you politicos should start working more than 145 days a year for the salary that you get.  Think about it hard, Senator; because unlike the President, you will face re-election again (and so will your party.) Merry Christmas!

Mr Obama, Compromise Is NOT Capitulation!

November 24, 2012 by 5 Comments

 

Why Obama Isnt Concerned About The Debt SC Mr Obama, Compromise is NOT Capitulation!

Right after this last election, our beloved President, Barack Hussein Obama, came out and offered Republicans an olive branch by stating that he was ready to “compromise” on tax hikes and spending to avoid going over what many economists call a fiscal cliff in January. It’s a perfect economic storm of the expiration of the Bush tax cuts for everybody, automatic spending cuts in defense and domestic spending, and Obamacare starting to kick in with it’s own tax increases. The next day, Obama reneged on everything that he had said the day before. Obama said that he would not tolerate extending the Bush tax cuts to those making $250K a year, never mentioning what spending cuts he is willing to make to offset those tax increases.

What Mr Obama and the Progressives in Washington D.C. don’t seem to understand, or want to understand, is that the government does NOT have a revenue problem, but a SPENDING problem of over a TRILLION dollar deficit per year since Obama took office!! Obama wants to punish those who have been successful without doing anything to straighten out our economy!

If you listen very carefully to the Progressive talking heads on all the Sunday news shows, you will NOT hear any of them talk about specific spending cuts. In fact, you won’t hear them say anything about ANY cuts at all! When, in real life economics, you talk about cutting spending, that means that you actually take money OUT of programs, not simply delay funding (or cut “proposed” spending). You actually have to cut funding for some programs, government agencies, and Departments.

You will hear Progressives like Congressman Chris Van Hollen whine about cutting money out of education. The Federal government has done such a bang-up job on education that after the expenditure of a couple of TRILLION dollars, we now rank between 17th and 25th in the world educationally. Besides, education should be a state matter, not a federal one. The only aspect of education that is national (at least according to the Progressives) is catering to the National Education Association for votes in our elections. The Progressives remain in power, and so does the union.

Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Van Hollen, and every other Progressive shill knows that raising tax rates on wealthy Americans is NOT going to do anything to reduce our national deficit. It will, however, punish those evil, successful people for having dared to achieve something in life through hard work and perseverance. If you asked me where this warped thinking comes from, I really cannot tell you. Maybe if the only people allowed to have wealth were the “elite” of our society (the elite as defined by themselves), and everyone else just got all the same kind of uniforms and learned to goosestep during every “elite” manufactured holiday, we would all be just as happy as a bunch of North Koreans around a full rice pot!

It’s about time that the rational citizens of this country stop being subjected to threats and backroom deals. We the citizens of this great country need to shine the light of truth on Obama and his rats and make them take responsibility for their actions instead of blaming everyone else. Obama wanted to be president; now he can learn how to handle that job like an adult instead of a tantrum-prone, immature kid.

Compromise is the meeting of two parties who each have to sacrifice something to achieve a bigger goal. If Obama and company don’t understand what that exercise entails, then they need to go back to Chicago and live in Thugland. We are about to find out if the Progressives are really interested in the greater good, or just their insane agenda. By the way, Obama, God is still looking for an apology from you for attempted identity theft!

America Is A Nation Of Choice

November 20, 2012 by 2 Comments

constitution 2 SC America is a nation of choice

America used to be a great and exceptional nation. A nation where every adult man and woman had the opportunity to be whatever they chose to be in life. A woman could be a full-time mother and wife and be lauded and respected for her choice. A man could choose to work with his hands or his brains and also achieve status in his community without a formal education (when did you ever hear anyone badmouth a good mechanic, plumber, builder, or electrician?) Something happened in the 60′s that started to erode what America had been. The following is what I believed has happened to our country.

We lost our moral compass with the introduction of the birth control pill. Suddenly, women could be just as reckless as men sexually and not have the burden of pregnancy looming over their heads, nor premature pregnancy waiting in the wings to cut short their enjoyment of their youth. Promiscuity became the order of the day with the advent of “free love” and the hippie and commune movement. Suddenly, morality became archaic. God’s law became an ancient relic, especially after the New York Times declared in a headline one day that “God is DEAD”! Our religious foundation suddenly became undesirable because man had declared it an unenlightened belief. Playboy flourished, along with pornography. The sexual revolution took off, and America threw off any pretense of restraint. The Roe v Wade decision, made up by the United States Supreme Court, helped fuel the fire of sexual rebellion that started America on a long, bloody road of infanticide. The mighty court of the United States had overruled God’s law; and fornication, adultery, and murder were now acceptable practices within the United States. The dark age of “enlightenment ” was descending on America in the form of “progressive thinking”. The shackles of any kind of restraint were being broken and tossed aside. Irresponsible men could now count on their lady-friends to “do the right thing” about an unwanted pregnancy and would not have to feel guilty about it. All pleasure and no guilt, so we thought. We had a choice and took the wrong path. Women always had the right to choose. A choice to have unprotected sex, protected sex, or no sex until marriage. A choice whether to have the child or give it up for adoption. Why does “Planned Parenthood” always insist on the murder of an unborn child as the only choice? Women had the choice between making men responsible for their behavior or joining them in a sexual free-for-all. Can anyone say “STD’s”?

Illegal immigrants have choices. They have a choice between doing things the right way concerning immigration (which by the way does NEED to be streamlined and sped up) or coming into this country illegally. Some Hispanic/Latino radicals are even demanding that the United States give back some southwestern states to Mexico, which does NOTHING to endear them to the rest of America. They have a choice but choose the illegal path; why?

Blacks have several choices available to them. Forgive the past transgression of slavery and move forward to take their place in society alongside all the other races in our melting pot of a society, or continue to carry anger and hatred for a sin against them long past. Black women have a choice between making their men take responsibility for their actions or continuing to be nothing more than concubines and baby factories. Blacks need to stop denigrating those of their race who find their niche, not in a “white” America, just America. Blacks have a choice to take their neighborhoods back from the lawless elements in their society or to allow a disproportionate percentage of their race to flood our prisons and graveyards.

Progressives in ALL political  parties have the choice of looking at history and realizing that their grand experiment of “redistribution of wealth” has been tried before in various forms (communism, socialism, fascism, Maoism); and the result has ALWAYS been the death of millions, the failure of their economic system, and more often than not the failure of their political systems. Progressives have a choice between letting the natural forces of a free market system determine the winners and losers in America, or trying to manipulate the results through government intervention (which usually ends up in disaster). Politicians have the choice between fiscal responsibility or a reckless disregard for the law of economics, thinking themselves as smarter than all who came before them. Progressives have the choice between doing what’s best for the country or just what fits their agenda (which usually is NOT good for anybody).

Politicians have a choice between moral and ethical behavior, or a self-serving attitude. One leads to the greatness of noble leadership and prosperity for all, while the other leads to corruption and the collapse of the country they “serve”!  Special interests are nothing more than narrowly focused, one-issue, self-centered entities that are not looking at the big picture of the country’s need as a whole.

Atheists, homosexuals, Muslims, and all other minorities also have choices in this country. They are all free to be who they are within their own sphere of influence and live peacefully among their fellow Americans. They also have the choice of respecting the majority positions of morality, justice, religion, and respect for America that has sustained us for so long (and for whom millions have given their lives to safeguard and protect.) They all have the choice of living in the most freedom-loving nation in the world or moving to wherever they feel their beliefs and lifestyle will be more readily accepted. Using Progressive judges to change society through the courts, therefore bypassing the will of the majority, should NOT be a choice in this country.

The bottom line is this: there are many choices available to ALL people who are in this country or want to come to this country. Use them, but stop trying to change America from what made her great to a God-hating, third world country. You have a choice to honor America for her exceptionalism, compassion, and sacrifice; or go take up residence in a place that makes you more comfortable.

There are a majority of us who happen to love America the way she was and will work to get her back to her foundational principles and beliefs. Progressivism will wreak havoc on America for a short while until enough people wake up and realize what is happening to their beloved country and ask God to forgive us as we make the choice to rely on Him once more. Or we go the other way and disappear into the dusty pages of history forever. The choice is yours, America.
