Securing The Border In Afghanistan

For the first laugh of the New Year, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano completed a surprise visit to Afghanistan to work with Afghan officials by giving them helpful hints on how to secure their mountainous border with Pakistan. This must be a skit on Saturday Night Live, or surely it will be in the next week or two. The United States has a 1500 mile border with Mexico that is not secure. Napolitano is technically the person in charge of securing our border. How on earth can this woman have any credibility any where in the world related to securing a border, when we don't even have control over our border. Napolitano's trip was a complete waste of taxpayer money. I hope she flies home coach.

Securing the US border is not only a national security issue, illegal aliens are contributing to the bankruptcy of many border states like California and Arizona. While Mexicans working in the US are hard working people, they pay no income taxes. Presumably, they do pay sales tax for the things they buy and property taxes in the rents they pay; but since they are in low income housing often with many children, any taxes they pay into the system are far outweighed by the cost to support illegal aliens in our public schools, hospitals and criminal justice system. Though illegal aliens work for low wages, they are costing our society far more on an hourly basis than is obvious because of the cost to support them.

To be clear, this blogger is not anti-immigrant, or anti-Mexican. I would support a guest worker program, with strict rules, to provide for legal immigration as part of a total immigration reform package that starts with securing the border; but the fact is that we cannot afford to be Mexico's welfare system any longer. HELLO, the United States is headed toward bankruptcy. The day will come, if it is not already here, when we cannot even take care of the needs of our own citizens let alone the 12 million illegal aliens living in the United States.

In 2011, it is estimated that 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 years old each day. All of these people will be eligible for Social Security and Medicare both of which are headed toward insolvency. We must secure our border to stop the influx of illegal aliens because we cannot afford to provide retiring Baby Boomers the benefits that they paid for and at the same time pay to support illegal aliens. It really is that simple.

The Secretary of Homeland Security needs to focus on securing our border and let the US Army deal with Afghanistan, PLEASE. Of course, Socialist President Obama, like past Presidents, will not do what is necessary to secure the US border because it is politically incorrect. The reality is that we need to post the US Army on our border to stop the drug trafficking and illegal aliens, some of whom are terrorists, from entering our country. If we got down to business, we can get this done; but it will not happen as long as Obama is President.

Securing the border is another reason we must elect no nonsense Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including SECURING OUR BORDER, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our country.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014, who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 98 years, our current and former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014. Securing the border is essential to getting the job done. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Federal Government Real Estate - More Waste

The federal government currently owns or leases 3.3 billion square feet of space in the United States, as the largest commercial property holder in our country. Since the federal government is responsible for 25 cents of every $1.00 spent in the US, this should be no surprise. Though Socialist President Obama signed a memorandum last summer ordering department heads to "identify and eliminate" unneeded properties with the goal of saving at least $3 billion a year by 2012, the federal government has actually leased, or acquired even more space. In fact, 2009, was a banner year for gaining, not selling, federal property.

While the federal government got rid of 19,500 assets, which was a combination of buildings, land and other structures, when the dust settled two dozen agencies reported a net increase of 23,000 more buildings in 2009, which was 71 million more square feet than was on the books in 2008. In 2009, the number of federal government buildings that were under utilized rose from 43,360 to 45,190. The number of flat out excess buildings rose from 10,140 to 10,327. Now remember, this is the federal government that wants to manage our nation's health care system, that comprises one-sixth of our economy.

While Socialist always advocate raising taxes of one sort or another, federal government wasteful spending is humongous. This federal real estate issue is one of many examples. While there still must be serious spending cuts to end the trillion dollar plus annual deficit, the odds are that half of the deficit is probably attributable to mismanagement, incompetence, fraud and corruption. Clearly, we have to starve the beast for the federal government to get its house in order. As long as confiscatory tax policy is in place and the federal government can just print money, or borrow money to fund the debt, we will never see a draining of the swamp.

And, none of this will happen as long as Socialist are running Washington. We have to finish the job we started in 2010 by electing Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our country.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives, who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, our current and former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

President Obama & Destructive Executive Orders

Socialist President Obama knows that he will not be able to enact his Socialist Schemes through a Republican controlled House of Representatives, or with the new mix in the US Senate, so instead his plan is to by pass the 112th Congress entirely. Obama will use Executive Orders to "transform" our nation into his Socialist utopia. Unless stopped by either court order, or Congressional action, Obama will become a dictator using administrative regulations and Executive Orders to enact his Socialist Schemes. We can't let that happen.

Since Obama will never get CAP & TAX enacted by the 112th Congress, Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to use the Clean Air Act to issue new and very restrictive regulations related to all carbon based energy production. The end result will the loss of thousands of jobs, much higher energy prices and a lower standard of living for the American people. The Socialists and Communists in the Obama Administration could care less.

Obama is being true to form. He told us prior to his election that in order for green technologies to be viable, carbon based energy would have to artificially be made significantly more expensive. Since the US economy was built on cheap energy, which was always a national goal, raising the cost of energy will definitely retard the growth of our economy. It is only common sense. It is almost as though Obama is the Manchurian Candidate out to destroy the United States.

Socialist President Obama has demonstrated complete incompetence related to growing our economy and job creation in the US. After wasting trillions of dollars on various SwindleUS Plans, bail outs etc. we still have nearly 10% unemployment and if all are counted actually 17% unemployment. Obama is an egghead who belongs back in the university classroom where he can practice in his Socialist theories, rather than in the White House where he is destroying our economy.

WE THE PEOPLE must stand up and say HELL NO to Obama and all his Socialist Schemes, including the use of Executive Orders and more administrative regulations that are job killers. We have got to make Obama a one term President in 2012 and further elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 to take back our country.

We must elect Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our country. We must elect Conservative to repeal everything Obama.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, our current and former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We cannot allow Socialist President Obama to destroy our economy and our country. We must put an end to Obama's Socialist Schemes. We can do it. We must do to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

111th Congress - Worst In American History

While Socialist President Obama congratulated himself and the 111th Reid/Pelosi Socialist Congress for their accomplishments, the numbers tell a very different story. The fact is that the United States accumulated an additional $3.22 Trillion in debt during the 111th Congress, the most ever in one year. That is $10,430 for each and every one of the 308,745,538 people counted in the 2010 Census. The total national debt is now roughly $13.9 Trillion, or $44,887 for every man, woman and child living in the United States.

The $3.22 Trillion of deficit spending that occurred during the 111th Socialist Congress is about three times the deficits of the 110th, 109th and 108th Congresses. The last time the Republicans controlled Congress was the 109th Congress, which adjourned on December 8, 2006 when the deficit was $1.054 Trillion. This was not wonderful; but certainly much less than what has occurred during the Obama/Reid/Pelosi years. Clearly, President Obama and the Socialist controlled Congress have far exceeded any other President and Congress in American history in deficit spending and adding to the national debt. All of the Obama SwindleUS Plans, Bail-Outs to pay back their union supporters and ObamaCare are bankrupting our nation and must be stopped.

In 2010, WE THE PEOPLE said enough is enough!! If these characters were in senior management in business, they would be in jail not in Congress, or the Presidency for fiscal mismanagement and deficit spending that is almost incomprehensible and certainly not defensible. When George Washington was President, there were just 4 federal departments. Today, there are 15 federal departments each with it own bureaucracy, lobbyists, bureaucrats and public employee union members feeding at the trough. Every one of these departments has a constituency on the dole in one way, or another. To end all of this, we must get rid of many of these departments; the Department of Education being at the top of the list; but others are redundant, as well.

The Socialists will never make the hard decision needed to get these enormous deficits under control, which is the reason we must elect true Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people, those of us that pay taxes in particular, and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our country.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Death Panels Are Coming

Even through Death Panels were stricken from ObamaCare when the legislation was rammed through the Socialist Congress in 2010, they are back in another form. The Department of Health and Human Services has issues a new regulation under ObamaCare allowing for payment to doctors to provide beneficiaries with end of life counseling to deal with end of life planning for loved ones. The road ahead is clear. At some point, there will be another regulation to pay Doctors a bonus if a family chooses death over life.

With 70 million baby boomers retiring, this is the way to bend the cost curve. This will lead to government encouraged Euthanasia; just wait and see. Remember, Socialist President Obama supports completely unrestricted abortion, so why not Euthanasia for older senior citizens? The Obamanistas need Baby Boomers to die sooner than later to avoid funding Social Security and Medicare for them (benefits that Boomers paid for) in order to fund health care for Obama's Peep's, the 50% of Americans that pay no federal income taxes at all. This is just another big Socialist scheme to buy votes. It really is that simple.

Countries that have Socialized medicine practice rationing of care for senior citizens. Various surgeries and other procedures are simply not provided to those over 65, 75 or 80 years old. Ultimately, the Socialists real goal is a single payer government plan. They want everyone on Medicare, or Medicaid rather than private insurance. ObamaCare is so unworkable that Socialists see it as a way to destroy private medical insurance. And, unless ObamaCare is repealed before fully going into effect in 2014, that will be the likely outcome. We cannot allow the government take over of our health care because it will be disasterous.

Guess what, we Baby Boomers are not going out quietly, or without a fight, that's for sure. We are in fact probably the best educated generation in human history and we will use our time and money to end 97 years of Socialism that is bankrupting our county. WE THE PEOPLE have had enough of Obama and all his Socialist Schemes to "transform" our country. We spoke loudly in 2010; but we are not done by any means.

In 2012 and 2014, we will band together to sweep these Socialists out of office by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and HEALTH CARE REFORM, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our nation.

Most important, we must take back our country by electing Conservatives, who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country and the first order of business is the repeal of ObamaCare. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

The Day Of Reckoning Is Coming

The United States is currently $14 Trillion in debt. Aside from printing money to monetize the debt, which the Federal Reserve will likely to do to disastrous effect, at some point, the markets will say no more borrowing. When the happens, it will be the day of reckoning. Federal elected officials will finally have to deal with the Trillion dollars plus they are borrowing each year to balance the budget. Of course, the Socialists will demand that all taxes on the "rich", defined as those earning $250,000 or more be raised, which will only retard the growth of the economy and lead to even more unemployment.

WE THE PEOPLE and presumably Republicans in Congress must stand up and say HELL NO to various Socialist Schemes that are bankrupting our country. The Bush Tax cuts must be made permanent. Though the 35% federal top rate is still too high, it would be tolerable if Corporate Income tax rates were cut to 20 or 25% in an attempt to keep more jobs in the United States. Tax on Capital Gains and Dividends should not exceed the current 15%. Estate Taxes at 35% after $5 million is OK; but probably still a bit high since these monies have already been taxed when they were earned. In any case, raising taxes is not an option to deal with the massive deficit spending that is occurring. The United States does not tax too little, our country spends too much.

That means that elected officials will have to prioritize just like people do when managing their own budgets. The only things that should be sacred are national defense and insuring that our food supply is safe. After these two budget items, everything else should be on the table. Numerous federal departments and agencies, like the Department of Education, should be eliminated entirely. All bail outs to the states or cities, many of which face bankruptcy, must stop forcing them to make the cuts necessary to live within their means. Subsidises for money losers like ethanol must be ended. We must depend on the free market to determine winners and losers not government.

None of this will happen as long as Socialists are in power, which is a big reason we must sweep them out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States and to restore economic growth in job creation in our nation.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to implement sound fiscal management. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

The US Constitution - A Remarkable Document

The United States Constitution is remarkable and remains the longest standing governing document ever devised in human history. Remember, the 10 Commandments came from God. The Constitution can be read in less than an hour and yet within those words are the lessons of freedom that have allowed our country to grow into the greatest nation on earth. It is amazing that our Founding Fathers, led by James Madison, usually credited with being the author of the Constitution, were able to construct a governing document that would not only stand the test of time, it would establish a nation with checks and balances of power to mitigate the human tendencies to abuse power, or so they thought.

Our Founding Fathers fully understood the abuse of power that came from being ruled by a King, with self described divine right; yet today we have an imperial Presidency. They fought against taxation without representation during the revolutionary war; but now we have taxes of all kinds without a vote of the people. They feared the power of an over reaching central government, which is the reason they actually divested most power to the states. Our Founding Fathers got it right; yet somehow our elected leaders in the last 97 years forgot those lessons working instead to create a federal government today that intrudes into all aspects of our lives.

Let's face it. Today, everything we do, buy, or eat is regulated, or taxed by local, state or federal governments and some times by all three. This has occurred since enactment of the 16th Amendment of the US Constitution, in 1913, by Socialists, which allowed for a federal income tax. Since that time, in the last 97 years, we have seen the federal government grow into the beast it is today to the demise of our Freedoms. Our Founding Fathers, in their wildest dreams, could never have imagined not only the growth of the federal government, which was never their intention, but the reach of the federal government and all other levels of government into our daily lives. The reality is that we are no longer a free people.

Aside from the local, state and federal taxes, fees and licenses we all pay, which far exceed anything ever imagined by our Founding Fathers, the regulations we face on millions of pages of law at every level of government, would surely cause our Founding Fathers to turn over in their graves. Their goal in writing the Constitution, was limited government, not the limitless government we have today. What we have now is Government Gone Wild, requiring a subservient people to work several months each year to support bureaucrats and politicians living off the fat of the land.

During the election campaign in 2010, Socialist President Obama actually told us to "shut up" and "sit in the back of the bus". During my life time, I do not recall any elected official being so candid about the role of the American people, but to his credit, Obama was just being honest as a member of the Socialist ruling class. Socialists all think that the American people should just Shut Up as they confiscate our our money and attempt to rule our lives in the name of the common good.

In 2010 instead, the American people stood up and said HELL NO. We will not shut up, or sit in the back of the bus ever again. WE THE PEOPLE intend to take back some of the power that we granted our elected representatives because they have proven over and again that they cannot be trusted to protect our interests. We have to finish the work of our Founding Fathers by adding various Constitutional Amendments requiring a balanced budget, term limits for members of Congress, restrictions on taxing authority and the definition of American citizenship. These Amendments are necessary to end the abuse of power that we have today that is bankrupting our country.

Of course, the Socialists will never willingly give up power, which is one more reason we must sweep them out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the winning platform supported by the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and jobs in our country. And, if our Founding Fathers were alive today, seeing what our elected representatives in the last 97 years, have done outside the scope of their master piece, the US Constitution, I feel certain they would tell us to take back the power that has been usurped over the years by our elected representatives. We have to do it to save our nation.

Most important, our Founding Fathers would encourage us to elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that will adhere to the Constitution, that they wrote, rather than the one contrived by the left wing media, Socialists, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts in the last 97 years. We must take back our country, the one devised by our Founding Fathers. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. Our Founding Fathers, who fought a revolution to gain that freedom, would expect us to act to preserve that freedom.

111th Congress - Good Riddance

The Socialist Pelosi - Reid 111th Congress finally recessed and is now history, Thank God. We can all say Good Riddance to many Socialists that were swept out of office in 2010 and will not be coming back to the 112th Congress in January, 2011. We will also see the gavel pass from Socialist Nancy Pelosi to Republican John Boehner in the House of Representatives. In a historic repudiation of Socialist President Obama, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Senator Dirty Harry Reid, Republicans made huge gains last November in the House, the Senate, State Legislatures and Governorships. WE THE PEOPLE have spoken. The question is, did both the Socialists and Republicans get the message.

Clearly, the majority of the American people are opposed to all of Obama's Socialist Schemes including multiple SwindleUS Plans, bail outs of various companies, ObamaCare, CAP & TAX that will raise our energy costs and higher taxes and more regulations that are destroying our economy. Most important, we are opposed to trillions in deficit spending that is bankrupting our country. We also oppose big government intrusion into every aspect of our lives. In foreign relations, the President bowing to foreign leaders is disgraceful. Of course, the Socialists will never get the message, which is the reason we must finish the job by sweeping more of them out of office in 2012 and 2014. However, the Lame Duck session also makes it very clear that we need to push RINO's out off office, as well. Those Republicans that would reach across the aisle to "compromise" with Socialists further advancing the Socialist agenda have to go to and sooner than later.

Instead, in order to take back our country and reverse 97 years of Socialism, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including fighting Terrorism and securing our border, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the winning platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our nation.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives, who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Senator Mitch McConnell Should Step Aside

Republican Minority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky should step aside. McConnell is not strong enough to deal with Socialist Majority Leader Senator Dirty Harry Reid of Nevada, or President Obama. Clearly, McConnell got snookered by Obama with the tax compromise, which only extended the Bush Tax Cuts and provided for an Estate Tax of 35%, after $5 million in inheritance, but both for only two years. In exchange, Obama got billions in new wasteful, deficit spending that is really SwindleUS Plan IV.

In addition, Senator Mitch McConnell has failed to stop Socialists from using the Lame Duck session to pass some of their Socialist Schemes, which includes the START Nuclear Arms Treaty with the Russians that will weaken our national defense and make it harder for the United States to deploy Missile Defense around the world. While McConnell worked with other Republicans to kill the Dream Act, which was just a back door to amnesty for illegal aliens and the Omnibus Spending Bill, filled with lard, which would have resulted in $1.2 Trillion in new spending in 2011, it is clear that McConnell is prepared to "compromise" with Obama, which is what RINO's have done for years resulting in the advance of Socialism in the United States. This has got to stop.

We need Republican young guns and new blood in the leadership of the Republican Party in the Congress and that is not Senator Mitch McConnell. Though Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner has been around a while, he appears to be tougher than McConnell and he is supported by a number of Republican young guns in the House of Representatives and members of the Tea Party Movement. Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan in the Republican leadership in the House are sharp.

The current Republican leadership in the Senate needs to step aside. It would be better if real Conservatives, who will not sell out the American people, take over the leadership of the Republican Party in the Senate. That means that Senators like Jim DeMint of South Carolina and John Barrasso of Wyoming need to step up to the plate and assume the Republican leadership positions in the US Senate.

Our goal should be to sweep Socialists, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014. We need common sense Conservatives in power NOW in the House of Representatives and the US Senate and that is not Mitch McConnell. And, we need to elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation and our country.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping Socialists and RINO's out of office. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Obama - Socialists and Net Neutrality

The Federal Communications Commission, as directed by Socialist President Obama, is attempting to enact Net Neutrality to regulate the Internet. While there is a lot of crap on the Internet and characters like Julian Assange from Wikileaks should be prosecuted for espionage, the Internet is the best example of First Amendment Free Speech rights ever created in human history. We don't need Obama and many of his appointed comrades that are Socialists and even Communists attempting to regulate Free Speech in the name of commerce. And, if there is to be regulation of the Internet, which is not needed, it is the purview of Congress, not the Executive Branch of the government. The Republicans in Congress must stand up and strike this down.

Let's face it, Socialists in the Obama Administration are attempting to expand the role of government into every aspect of our lives. If allowed to move forward on Net Neutrality, they will soon attempt to control content on the Internet and I am not talking about pornography. I am talking about political speech that is critical of all their Socialist Schemes. WE THE PEOPLE must stand up and once again say HELL NO. Net Neutrality is an attack on our freedom. It may start out with the intent to regulate commerce on the Internet presumably to tax it; but it will end up with Big Brother controlling what we are allowed to publish on the Internet. We can't let that happen.

Every day, the tax, spend and regulate Socialists continue to demonstrate reasons they must be swept from office in 2012 and 2014. Obama and his cronies did not get the message in 2010. As such, we must throw them all out of office by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our country.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, the Courts and now the Federal Communications Commission. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Reforming Public Education

Public Education in the United States is badly in need of reform. Our nation spends more on public schools than any other country in the world, yet academic achievement is among the worst in the industrialized world. It may very well be that the current generation will not be as well educated as their parents, or even their grandparents before them. Yes, kids today know how to use computers and play video games; but can they spell, or communicate in writing? In many instances, the answer is NO. This is particularly true in inner cities where many graduate with reading levels far below grade level, or worse don't graduate at all. Drop out rates in the inner cities of our country are particularly high. Clearly, public education is failing our nation. It is time to act!

There is a direct correlation between the growth of teacher unions and failing public schools. Teacher unions make every demand for more money using kids as their excuse, when in fact teacher unions are in business to achieve higher compensation and benefits for their members and less work. Often teacher unions argue for lower class size even though there is no evidence that lower class size results in better student achievement. That argument is really about hiring more dues paying teachers to belong to the union and lowering work loads. Clearly, collective bargaining has been a disaster for public education and as a result it should be ended. While teachers have gotten higher salaries and exorbitant pensions over the years through collective bargaining, it is has been at the expense of the students and schools themselves, which are often filthy and in disrepair, especially in the inner city.

Teacher unions and tenure have made it nearly impossible to FIRE an incompetent teacher and or to reward really good teachers with Merit Pay. Teacher tenure should be eliminated as a critical reform to allow poor teachers to be FIRED no matter how long they have been in the system. And, administrators as management should be able to provide Merit Pay to outstanding teachers. The notion that all teachers, in various categories, are paid the same regardless of results, or hard work, is absurd.

Inner city parents and or the poor, held captive in failing public schools, should be given vouchers to allow them to send their children to private schools. Obviously, the rich like Socialist President Obama and most members of Congress can and do send their kids to private schools in Washington DC, while at the same time one of the first things Obama did after his inauguration was to end the school voucher program in Washington DC as a payoff to his teacher union supporters. This was nothing short of criminal. Unless public schools face competition, particularly in the inner city, there will be no improvement in student results.

Teachers spend a considerable amount of time dealing with 5% of students that are discipline problems. Those kids must be removed from regular classrooms and placed in alternative schools designed for them. Generally, kids that are serial discipline problems either have psychological issues and or face dysfunction at home. Either way, these kids need the services of a social worker as much as a teacher. Most important, allowing them to remain in regular classrooms is a major disservice to the other kids there to learn. Without discipline in the classroom, learning is impossible so this problem must be dealt with even if it is politically incorrect.

Not all children can or should go to college. Testing should take place in the 9th grade to identify college ready kids and those that should attend vocational high schools and or community colleges. This system is very common in other countries and should be adopted in the United States. Again, this in not politically correct; but reflects reality. There is nothing wrong with learning a trade. And, we still have our community college system, in the event a kid is a late bloomer. So what is the worst that will happen, the kid learns a trade and then goes to college later on to earn an academic degree, if and when ready to do so. This is probably the kid who ends up owning the plumbing company instead of just being a plumber, as though that would be so terrible given what plumbers earn.

Today, kids are often passed along based on age rather than competency. As such, it is possible to graduate from high school even though a kid does not have basic competencies in reading, writing and arithmetic. Even schools districts and states that insist on competency testing to achieve a high school diploma have so dumbed down the tests as to make them meaningless. This has got to stop. If a kid cannot read at grade level, that kid should earn a certificate of completion for spending 12 years in school rather than a high school diploma, which should mean competency at grade level.

Public education is failing in America. The reforms listed are badly needed now; but the Socialists supported by teacher unions and bleeding hearts will yell racism if these policies are put in place. That is ridiculous. We have kids graduating from high school that read at fifth grade level. I know, I taught them in the inner city years ago. The United States spends more on public education that any other nation, yet we have allowed teacher unions and Socialist politicians to destroy our public schools by insisting on political correctness and a lack of standards of achievement.

The failure of public education in America is one more reason we must sweep these Socialists out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, real EDUCATION, energy and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and jobs in our country.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives who will adhere to our Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country and our public schools in 2012 and 2014. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Dealing With Public Employee Unions

Public Employee Unions at the local, state and federal levels are contributing to the bankruptcy of our country, since they have used collective bargaining to achieve compensation and benefits far in excess of what is common in the private sector. In fact, Public Employee Unions have used campaign contributions to bribe, primarily members of the Socialist Party, their lackeys, into giving them high pay packages, which include exorbitant pensions that are not sustainable. This has got to stop if we are ever going to deal with trillions in deficit spending and our current $14 Trillion National Debt.

Clearly, what we have in place now related to government workers at all levels cannot be allowed to continue because the cost is simply out of control. As such, major changes are needed NOW to get our house in order. First, government should outsource as many functions as possible to the private sector to allow for competitive bidding to provide various services. This will result in the elimination of many jobs, lower cost and better service. Second, Public Employee Unions, if allowed to continue at all, must be prohibited from making any campaign contributions to any politicians at any level of government. This is a major conflict of interest that results in these exorbitant compensation schemes. Third, and most important, Mayors, Governors and the President should appoint Civil Service Commissions, composed of retired business executives, to negotiate contracts with Public Employee Unions and or to simply impose compensation and benefits plans on government employees that are common in the private sector. Fourth, strikes by government employees should be illegal as a condition of employment. Fifth, it must be just as easy to fire a government employee that is not performing as is the case in the private sector.

There is absolutely no reason that government employees should be paid more than private sector employees as is happening now. Nor should government employees be guaranteed employment for life. And, government workers should be in the Social Security system just like everyone else. In addition, contributory 401K plans should be in place rather than the current pension schemes that are bankrupting our country.

None of this will happen as long as Socialists continue to receive Public Employee Union bribes in the form of campaign contributions. This practice must be illegal. The reality is that Socialists are owned lock stock and barrel by the Public Employee Unions, which is another reason we must sweep these Socialists out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and jobs in America.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country by ending Public Employee Union dominance that is contributing to the bankruptcy of our nation. We don't work for these government employees. They work for us. We can do it. We must take back our country to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

$14 Trillion National Debt and Growing

The United States is approaching a national debt of $14 Trillion and it is growing fast, so much so, that if something is not done soon the Obama Administration has stated that our national debt will grow by another $10 Trillion in the next ten years. We just cannot let that happen. As of today, our national debt is 14,000 Billion dollars that has been amassed in the last 50 years by both Socialist and Republican Presidents and Congresses. This does not include several hundred billion dollars more of state debt.

And, what do we have to show for it? Are our public schools the best in the world? Do we have highways and freeways free from traffic congestion in all major cities? Do we have best in class airports throughout the United States? Are our bridges, roads and schools maintained properly and in fine condition? Do we have a high speed train network throughout the country as is the case in Europe and Asia? Have we cured Cancer, Diabetes, Parkinson's Disease, Arthuritis, Multiple Scerolosis, Cerebal Palsy or AIDES? Is our border secure? Is health care affordable for all Americans? Are we energy independent? The answer to all of these question is a resounding HELL NO!

So after borrowing $14 Trillion in the last 50 years, we have public schools that are rated among the worst in the world. Our highways and freeways in most major cities are in perpetual gridlock. Many of our airports look like those in third world countries. We have bridges collapsing, roads with pot holes and schools in many cities that are filthy and falling apart. There is no high speed train network in our country. We have found no cures for any of the diseases listed. Our border is absolutely not secure. Healthcare is even more expensive as a result of ObamaCare. We are more dependent than ever on foreign sources of energy.

Yet many of our elected representatives of both political parties have been in office for decades and this is the end result of their handiwork. If the United States was a business, it would have been bankrupt long ago because printing money would not have been an option and our credit would have been so bad that no one in his or her right mind would have lent us Trillions of dollars given this track record. The question is, why has all of this happened and what needs to be done now.

First, it is very clear that we need term limits at all levels of government and even for judges. Obviously, politicians in office for decades has not resulted in stellar results. In fact, it has been just the opposite. We need citizen politicians who have worked in the real world rather than professinal politicians who live off corruption, graft and the fat of the land. Second, we need a Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment to require fiscal solvency. Third, we must have more citizen and state involvement as an additional check and balance against a federal government gone wild. Fourth, we must end collective bargaining for all government employees that is bankrupting our country.

This means a number of Constitutional Amendments and more involvement by WE THE PEOPLE. Clearly, we must take back some of the power we gave our elected representatives because they have proven over and again that they cannot be trusted to protect the interests of the American people. Many of the politicians, who have caused the fiscal insolvency and the problems we face should be in jail not in Congress. It is time to get out the pitch forks and the tar and feathers.

In addition, our only hope is to elect common sense Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real energy, education and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth, fiscal sanity and job creation in our country.

Most important, we must sweep these Socialists and RINO's out of office that have caused our $14 Trillion national debt by electing Conservatives, who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former President, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to reverse the poor management we have seen for the past 50 years. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Another Trillion Dollar Deficit in 2011 Is Coming

Soon the federal government will hit the debt ceiling of $14.2 Trillion Dollars that was established by Congress the last time they raised the debt ceiling. So what? The United States Congress and that includes members of both the Socialist and Republican Party appear incapable of making the tough decisions to stop the deficit spending. No wonder the approval rating for the Congress is just 13%. The deficit in 2011 will add another trillion dollars to the national debt. These politicians are in the process of bankrupting our nation. In the last few days, the Lame Duck Congress, still controlled by the Socialists until January, attempted to sneak through another $1.2 Trillion in spending that was full of lard. Republicans in the Senate used procedural moves to stop this from happening, but probably only temporarily.

It is becoming clearer by the day that WE THE PEOPLE must take back some of the powers that we granted our elected representatives by demanding a Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment. There is no other way to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. Unless our nation in involved in an officially declared war and/or a national emergency is ratified by three fourths of the states, the federal government must be required to maintain a balanced budget without the ability to borrow money to fund annual expenses. Our elected federal representatives of both political parties have proven that they cannot be trusted to protect the interests of the American people. As such, we need a Constitutional safeguard to ensure the fiscal solvency of our nation.

Socialists and perhaps RINO's will never agree to a Balanced Budget Amendment, which is just one more reason we must sweep them out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing true Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the only way to restore economic growth, fiscal sanity and job creation in our nation.

Most important, we must take back our country by electing Conservatives who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Support Candidates Not PAC's or Committees

2012 is just around the corner. In the next few months, candidates will begin to surface for the Republican nomination for the Presidency. At the same time, those who donate monies for political campaigns will continue to face a barrage of requests for money from Political Action Committees of one sort or another. This blogger stopped giving money to PAC's and Committees long ago because there is no way to control where the money goes. In fact, in some cases PAC's sponsored by various Republicans and of course the Republican National Committee will give money to RINO's, which is simply unacceptable.

And, even worse, the US Chamber of Commerce actually endorsed a Socialist, supposedly a Conservative Democrat, Joe Manchin, the Governor of West Virgina, who was recently elected to the US Senate. That is sacrilege. It is an example that makes the case that we should only contribute money to specific Conservative Candidates and not PAC's that are unpredictable. Over the years, I have learned this lesson the hard way. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, oh wait, I won't be fooled twice.

That is the reason why National Freedom Forum candidate endorsements are tied directly to the web sites of those Conservative candidates. Any donations need to go direct to support specific candidates, not filtered through PAC's in business to create income and jobs for political operatives. We are already starting to see a divide in the road. Romney, Spence, Palin and DeMint, likely to be candidates for the Republican nomination came out against the Obama/Republican Senate tax compromise because it includes billions in pork barrel spending. Thune, Gingrich, Palenty and Huckabee, also likely to be candidates for the Republican nomination, came out in favor of the deal, which as far as this blogger is concerned is an early black mark against them. We need to end deficit spending once and for all and the Obama/Republican Senate compromise only adds to the deficit and our national debt.

We need to sweep tax and spend Socialists and RINO's out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives both in the primaries and the general election. The only way to do that is to give money directly to those Conservatives candidates that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. There can be no compromise and no deals on these issues. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in America. We must stop deficit spending NOW, not next year, or five years from now to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Socialists - Here They Go Again - More Spending

The Socialists that control Congress, in the their last dying gasp, are trying to ram through a 1924 page $3.5 Trillion spending bill to fund the federal government for the next fiscal year. Of course, Socialist Senate Majority Leader Dirty Harry Reid and soon to be former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and their fellow Socialists in Congress waited until the last minute to get this done because the bill is loaded with lard. And, this level of funding will add another trillion dollars, or more, to our $13.8 Trillion national debt. These Socialists are attempting to do this now to prevent the Republicans from making serious cuts in 2011. Just when is all of this going to end? These corrupt politicians are bankrupting our country to pay off all their supporters on the dole.

The tax compromise between Socialist President Obama and the Republicans includes billions in new spending and even more pork barrel spending. This "compromise" is actually SwindleUS Plan III. Given that Obama's SwindleUS Plans I and II and all the bail outs of private companies have done little to restore our economy and job creation in America, it would seem that even more deficit spending would be unthinkable. But then, we are talking about elected officials that only know how to tax and spend. As a result, the United States is facing a crisis like none we have ever seen before.

The Federal Reserve is monetizing our debt because there are not enough takers willing to buy federal treasury bonds. This is already leading to inflation and will eventually lead to much higher interest rates and a lower standard of living for the American people. We simply cannot continue spending trillions of dollars that add to our national debt. This is not a revenue problem. We cannot raise taxes high enough to cover these deficits because higher taxes will not result in more revenues for the federal government. Instead, higher taxes will stunt growth and result in lower revenues for the federal government. The only answer to restore our economy and job growth once again is serious federal government budget cuts. That means eliminating many programs and whole departments that are redundant, which is what would happen in business when faced with a similar crisis.

These Socialists and RINO's will never do what is necessary to get our fiscal house in order. They have proven over and again that they cannot be trusted to protect the interests of the American people. As such, we must elect no nonsense Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our nation.

Most important, we must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country to stop all this deficit spending that is bankrupting our country. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Compromise Is A Dirty Word

Soon to be Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner refused to use the word "compromise" related to the tax deal Senate leaders made with Socialist President Obama. Instead, Boehner said that the President and the Republicans had found "common ground". Of course, this is baloney. Boehner knows that "compromise" is a dirty word to Conservatives who are sick and tired of meeting Socialists half way, or reaching across the aisle, which has led to trillions in deficit spending, crazy entitlements, high taxes and our national debt.

Once again to get a temporary extension of the Bush Tax cuts and a reasonable Estate Tax provision, both for two years, the Republicans gave away 13 more months of unemployment insurance costing $60 Billion, added to the 99 months already provided along with billions of dollars for green initiatives, money for a project in American Samoa and other pork barrel spending. This deal, that should have just been about extending the Bush Tax cut and the Estate Tax, is business as usual in Washington DC and represents SwindleUS Plan III. It is just more deficit spending and borrowing from the Chinese.

This deal is more of the same "compromise" that is bankrupting our country. As such, it may be that the Republicans have not learned their lesson. Boehner is talking about cutting federal spending by 5%. How nice!! That is peanuts and is just tinkering around the edges. We need to see whole federal government departments, like the Department of Education eliminated completely. In addition, the federal government must divest power back to the states where it belongs. The Republicans are on probation. WE THE PEOPLE have put Republicans back in power and we can remove them just as easily. If that becomes necessary, it will mean formation of a new Conservative Party to get the job done once and for all.

It is clear that we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 (not RINO's), that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and jobs in our nation. And, there can be no more "compromise" with Socialists.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country to reverse years of Socialism. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren. Compromise that undermines our freedom is indeed a dirty word.

The War on Capitalism - Dangerous For Our Nation

During the past 200 years, Socialists and their first cousins, Communists have waged war on Capitalism. In western Democracies, Socialists, working with unions and the left wing media, have argued for redistribution of income in the name of Social Justice. Many entitlements have been enacted over the years that are bankrupting these countries. Communists in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, China and other countries murdered millions in the name of equality and the rights of the proletariat. In every case, where either Socialism or Communism has been tried, instead of the promised Utopia, it has led to misery, a lower standard of living and less freedom.

Yet, there are still advocates of these failed ideologies around the world. We see it in the United States as President Obama and his Socialist supporters continue to make class warfare arguments related to both income and estate taxes. How much tax is enough? For Socialists, the answer is that they would like to see all wealth confiscated. In a Socialist's world the rich are evil people who have gained their wealth, not through hard work and intelligence; but rather by taking advantage of the poor around the world. Socialists seek to redress this evil through redistribution of income and bigger government to take care of the poor who become wards of the state.

The end result is less freedom for all. The income tax in the US began in 1913 under Socialist President Woodrow Wilson at a very low percentage and today, Socialists contend that the top personal rate of 35% is not enough. If they could get away with it, they would like to see the personal tax rate at 90% or higher where it once was under President Roosevelt. And, the compromise between Obama and the Republicans would put the Estate Tax at the same 35% after the first $5,000,000 in inheritance. Of course, this so called wealth that represents potential inheritance has already been taxes once, so an Estate Tax is actually double taxation at any rate.

Socialists and Communists continue to wage war on Capitalism, which is dangerous to our nation. Capitalism with all its warts and boom and bust cycles, is the only system ever devised in human history that has created wide spread prosperity and the highest standard of living in history. The so called rich make investments that are the basis for job creation. Bigger government does nothing but destroy jobs. Socialist Schemes like ObamaCare, Cap & Tax, stifling Financial and Environmental Wacko Regulations will just result in more jobs going overseas and a lower standard of living for the American people.

Socialists just don't get it. Apparently, they never read Adam Smith, or Milton Friedman, or learned the lessons of Economics 101. Instead, they adhere to Karl Marx and various Socialist economists that are clueless. If we are to have prosperity in the United States, we must sweep these Socialists out of office by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our nation.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping these Socialists out of office. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We must work to keep the American dream alive.

Obama - President For The Day

Socialist President Obama had to call in the big guns to sell his tax compromise with the Republicans; Bill Clinton. In an awkward moment, Obama implemented a Press Conference and then lost control of the event. After about 20 minutes, Obama had to leave saying that he was keeping his wife Michelle waiting and rather than end the Press Conference as the current President of the United States, he left former President Bill Clinton at the podium. Everyone knows that Clinton is starved for attention and as a result, Clinton ended up being President For The Day for another hour dealing with questions. This little episode made Obama look small and weak by comparison.

Socialists think of Clinton the way Republicans think of Ronald Reagan. Of course, many forget that Clinton was impeached, though not convicted and thrown out of office for committing perjury. And then, there was the whole Monica Lewinsky episode not to mention many other instances of Clinton's infidelities; but then Socialists aren't to big on family values. Socialists believe that boys will be boys and so Clinton has been given a pass on on his foibles. Ok, Ok, we would all rather have a Clinton than Obama in the White House; but that is another story. The Clinton's always cared more about staying in power than Socialist ideology, which is probably not the case with Obama.

So maybe Bill Clinton can convince the Socialists in the Lame Duck Congress to vote for Obama's tax cut compromise. It really doesn't matter much since the Republicans will have the votes to enact this bill, or change it on January 3. The bigger issue is that perhaps Obama will need to call in Bill Clinton to be President For The Day for the next two years to fight his battles with the Republicans in Congress. If that becomes the case, maybe Hillary needs to dust off her dancing shoes and challenge Obama in the Socialist Primary. If we are going to have the Clinton's to kick around again, we might as well have the whole package.

Obama continues to prove that he is not qualified to be President of the United States. Let's face it, Obama went from being an unaccomplished state legislator and US Senator to the Presidency. Obama's lack of experience and naivete is evident in all his actions. Obama has been a complete failure managing the economy and foreign policy. Obama promised hope and change and he has given us despair and chaos. Experience matters. Next time let's elect a President with a track record.

In fact, in 2012, let's make Obama a one term President by electing a Conservative who supports free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that is the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our nation.

Most important, we must elect a Conservative as the President of the United States who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We need a President with experience, which means Obama has to go.

Obama - A Divider Not A Uniter

Socialist President Obama put in place a compromise deal to extend the Bush Tax cuts and then referred to the Republicans in Congress as holding the American people "hostage" implying that Republicans are Terrorists. When is Obama going to recognize that words matter? Clearly, President Obama is a Divider Not A Uniter who is not very Presidential. During the recent campaign, Obama called Republicans, Conservatives and Tea Party Members "our enemies". Mr. President, Terrorists, that want to murder Americans, that you refuse to call Terrorists, are our enemies. Those of us who oppose all of Obama's Socialists Schemes are patriots that intend to take back our country.

During the Presidential Campaign Obama said there are no "Red States or Blue States, there is only the United States. " Oh really! Many of us recognized that Obama was a Socialist from the beginning; but he ran as a moderate sheep in wolves clothing. It should be pretty obvious by now that Obama is the most left wing President ever elected in the United States. While Obama was forced to accept a compromise on tax issues, which may or may not be enacted into law during the Lame Duck Congress before year end, this President is still a radical who wants to "transform" America into a Socialist nation. The Obama Administration is filled with left wing Socialist and Communist eggheads that want to limit our freedoms and control our lives. To that, WE THE PEOPLE must say HELL NO by making Obama a one term President and sweeping these characters out of office.

The tax compromise deal is just another big SwindleUS Plan that the President can't get any other way. Extending unemployment insurance for 13 more months, in addition to the last 99 months will only result in higher unemployment than necessary and more deficit spending and borrowing from the Chinese. It may have made sense to extend unemployment insurance for 13 more weeks; but Obama's insistence on 13 more months is just another $60 Billion down the drain. Instead, this money could have been taken from the first SwindleUS Plan since there is $200 Billion that has yet to be spent on "shovel ready" projects.

The two year extension of the Bush Tax cuts is OK; but these rates should have been made permanent because the 35% upper tax rate is more than enough money to support a responsible, well managed, federal government, not the one we have now. In fact, it is even too much of our hard earned money. Most important, the left wing media and the Socialists refer to this extension of the Bush Tax cuts as "tax cuts for the rich". What a bunch of lies and baloney!! The fact is that there is no tax cut in the extension of the Bush Era Tax Cuts that were enacted in 2001 and 2003. Instead, if the Bush Tax cuts are not extended by the end of the year, we would see the biggest tax increase in American history.

Republicans should wait until they are seated on January 3 to make their deal with Obama on all of these tax issues. Obviously, the Republicans will have more leverage when they control the House of Representatives and gain 5 more seats in the US Senate. What ever is enacted can be made retroactive to January 1. It is important that the Republicans get it right rather than agree to a compromise that is bad for America. The Bush Tax cuts should be made permanent to bring certainty to the markets. The Estate Tax deal on the table is reasonable. Extension of unemployment insurance should be more limited and it should be PAID FOR by using some of unspent SwindleUS One monies. It is time for common sense to prevail for all these Socialists to take a walk in the wilderness.

We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our nation.

We must sweep these Socialists out of office by electing Conservatives that will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived, by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must finish the job we started in 2010 to take back our country in 2012 and 2014. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We must maintain the American dream for future generations.

Dream Act Is A Nightmare

Socialists in the Lame Duck Congress, in their last gasp of power, are attempting to push through the Dream Act, which is actually a nightmare back door to amnesty for illegal aliens. The Dream Act would allow millions of illegal aliens, not born in the United States, who graduate from American high schools to become American citizens if they earn a two year college Associates degree, or serve in the military. It seems like a good idea; however, once a son or daughter is an American citizens, they can apply for their parent's, who are already in the US illegally and relatives to join them, which is an eventual road to citizenship for all, as well.

The Socialists know how to work the system and their goal is to give amnesty to the 12 million illegal aliens, or more, that are already in the US to convert them into Socialist voters dependent on them and the federal government for sustenance. The Dream Act is all about Socialists retaining power, not just giving young illegal aliens a path to citizenship. We have been down the amnesty road once before during the Reagan Administration, when illegal aliens were given amnesty in exchange for securing the border. We all know the end of that bait and switch story, don't we. The border was never secured and is not secure today.

Before we give amnesty for any reason to any illegal aliens, Socialist President Obama needs to send the army to the border to secure it once and for all. This solves a few problems. First, securing the border will stop drugs from coming into our country, which cost the American people billions of dollars in criminal justice, prison and medical expenses each year. Second, there potential Terrorists coming across our border that want to murder Americans. Third, the 12 million illegal aliens already in the United States are tax users not tax payers.

Border states are spending billions of dollars every year on welfare, criminal justice, medicaid and education dealing with illegal aliens that is contributing to the bankruptcy of these states. We simply cannot be Mexico's welfare system any longer. While illegal aliens in the United States are generally hard working people, working for low wages, the cost to support them is simply unsustainable. In other words, we just can't afford any more illegal aliens in the United States.

Of course, the Socialists will never take action to really deal with the illegal alien problem that is contributing to the bankruptcy of our country. Hopefully, the Dream Act, which has passed in the Socialist controlled House of Representatives will die an ugly nightmare death in the Senate. We need a comprehensive immigration reform bill that starts with securing the border before any other actions are taken that would give current illegal aliens any kind of legal status in our country. We have seen that story before. We should not reward illegal aliens and their children, who have broken our laws, with citizenship.

Since Socialists will do nothing to secure our border, it is just one more reason we must sweep these Socialists out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including SECURING OUR BORDER and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our country.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives who will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former President, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 and securing the border must be a priority. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Socialists In Open Revolt Against President Obama

Socialist President Obama required Socialists in his party to walk the plank last November, defending ObamaCare, CAP & TAX, Bail-Outs etc, when they ran for reelection. The result was a gain of 64 Republican seats in the House of Representatives and loss of control. 5 Republican Senate seats were gained, which gives effective control to the Republicans because of the filibuster rule that requires 60 votes to get anything done in the Senate. 10 Republican Governorships were gained so that now the majority of Governors in the US are Republican, which will make it harder for Obama to win reelection. And, perhaps most startling of all for the Socialist Party, the Republicans gained over 650 state legislators across the country. WE THE PEOPLE definitely spoke last November. Though President Obama was not on the ballot, he took a real "shellacking" in the recent election.

Clearly, President Obama's plan to "transform" our country into a Socialist nation has been soundly rejected because the US is a center right nation. And, Obama can see the writing on the wall, which is the reason Obama threw his Socialist supporters under a bus, when he reached a compromise tax deal with the Republicans. As a result, many of these Socialists are now in open revolt against Obama. As someone with a degree in Political Science, the theater of it all is fun to watch.

Cards talk and numbers don't lie. In reaching this compromise tax deal, that is in the best interest of our nation, Obama is signaling that he really does want to be reelected. However, in many ways the President is in a no win situation. Obama knows that he must work with Republicans to get anything done, which means moving to the Right. But, if Obama does so, he will alienate the far left wing of the Socialist Party, without which he cannot win reelection because they represent about 30% of voters and the base of the Socialist Party. These Socialists now see Obama as out for himself and a turncoat. As such, Obama is likely to be challenged by a left wing Socialist wacko in the primary that is even more left wing than Obama, if that is possible.

Socialists, which includes their union supporters, believe in class warfare, bigger government and redistribution of income in the name of Social Justice, even if it is bad for our country. Socialist only know how to tax and spend. It is what they do for a living. The Republicans will do everything they can in the next two years to limit the size of government and cut spending, taxes and regulations to spur economic growth. There will also be the dismantling, or defunding of ObamaCare until such time that it can be repealed. ObamaCare, even without a single payer plan, which is what the Socialists really want, is the crowning jewel of the Socialist agenda. The majority of the people in the US want ObamaCare repealed, which is a mandate for the Republican Party to accomplish. So what is Obama to do? If Obama does what is best for the country, he will lose his base of support. Yet, if Obama doesn't do what is right for the country to restore economic growth, there is no way he will be reelected anyway. Obama really is walking a tight rope with no net below him.

Given this no win scenario, it is very likely that President Obama will be a one term President, assuming the Republicans nominate someone who can appeal to not only Republicans, but also Independents and Reagan Democrats. That means no more John McCain's, or RINO's. The reality is that we do need to make Obama a one term President because though he has been forced to compromise with the Republicans on this tax deal, Obama is still a Socialist at heart, which we will clearly see in his Executive Orders and appointments.

As such, we must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real education, energy and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our country. The tax deal compromise is a start; but only a start. There is a lot more work that needs to be done to cut government spending.

Don't be fooled by the tax compromise reached between Obama and the Republicans. Though is a pretty good deal, if the Socialists had retained control of the Congress, it never would have happened. Obama and his Socialists supporters would have continued passing job killer bills. These Socialists never give up as they have enacted job killers for the last 97 years. We began taking back our country in 2010. Now we must finish the job in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives that will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists, former President, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Compromise On Taxes - Proves Elections Matter

Socialist President Obama caved in to Republican demands that the Bush Tax Cuts be extended for everyone not just those earning $250, 000 or less, infuriating many in the Socialist Party. This two year extension just kicks the issue down the road during an election year; but that's OK for now. The deal extends the Bush Tax Cuts for two years and in exchange Obama got 13 more months of unemployment insurance, which will cost about $60 Billion and add to the national debt. That means that many of the unemployed will end up with unemployment benefits for three years, which in actually contributing to our 9.8% official unemployment rate because many of these people do not take jobs beneath them as long as they are eligible for benefits. Oh well, that is the dumb part of this deal; but it is not the end of the world.

In addition, there will be a 2% one year break on payroll taxes, which presumably means that the employee contribution will shift from 6.2% to 4.2% if it is on the employee side of the Social Security Contribution. That means beginning in January everyone is getting a 2% raise for 2011, which will pump more money into the economy. Small business tax cuts are also part of this deal. The best part of the deal is that the Estate Tax, also known as the Death Tax, will provide for an inheritance of $5 million tax free with a 35% tax after this amount. This means that in most cases families and farm owners will be able to inherit their businesses tax free, which is very fair.

Of course, all of this will have to go before the Lame Duck Congress. The remaining Socialists in Congress will howl. These Socialists that support redistribution of income in the name of Social Justice will claim that this deal is the end of the world. But the reality is that they will either agree to the deal now, or it will happen on January 3, when the Republicans come to town and gain effective control of the Congress. This "compromise" with Obama marks two things; first that elections matter and second that Obama actually does want to be reelected in 2012. This is a final recognition by Obama that the United States is a center right country and most important that he will not have the votes in Congress in 2011 to continue on his path to "transform" our country into a Socialist nation. Just maybe Obama does get the message sent last November after all.

It will be very interesting to see what left wing Socialists do now. It is very likely that if Obama moves to the center, which is his only chance for reelection, he will be challenged by a Socialist wacko for the nomination, or at least the party will be so fractured that he will not win reelection. Obama will have to walk the plank on many issues including additional SwindleUS Plans, Bail-Outs and CAP & TAX that will not happen. There will also be many battles on spending cuts and social issues that will cause the Socialists to go catatonic. It is going to be fun to watch. And, the Republican Congress will begin to dismantle and defund ObamaCare, the cornerstone of the Socialist agenda. Obama will veto some bills; but probably not all changes to ObamaCare. So both ObamaCare and taxes will be election issues in 2012.

Elections do indeed matter. Now WE THE PEOPLE must go the rest of the way in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real energy, education and health care reform, a strong national defense, including securing our border and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of our nation. This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in America.

Most important, we must elect Conservatives that will adhere to the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by the left wing media, Socialists in the last 97 years, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
