High Taxes - Deficit Spending - Threat To Freedom

It is interesting that countries with high taxes also have high deficit spending and significant national debt. The Socialist Democracies in Europe and other parts of the world have both high income taxes and high Value Added Sales Taxes on most goods and services of 16 - 21%, yet many of those countries also have unsustainable debt. This is happening because entitlements and public employee unions are bankrupting these countries. Of course, the US is increasingly going down the same road and headed toward bankruptcy, as well.

This is all happening because elected representatives use the national treasury to buy votes primarily from those on the dole, those that pay no taxes at all and public employee unions that frequently place worker interests above state, or national interests. And, as taxes go up along with deficits, the vicious cycle usually results in higher taxes and more deficits because both retard economic growth and as such government rarely gets the income that was projected from the higher taxes in the first place. California is a good case in point. California has among the highest combined taxes in the nation yet state revenues continue to decline because people and companies are voting with their feet and leaving California. It has been happening for years. So California, more and more, is left with tax users rather than tax payers including illegal aliens; hence the reason California cannot get ahead of its deficit spending.

Like California and other countries, the United States is in this vicious cycle like never before as President Obama and the Socialists that control Congress are enacting new entitlements, pork barrel spending and bail outs that will result in Trillions of dollars in deficit spending and higher debt, if not stopped and soon. This is all being done in the name of one fictitious "crisis" after another, the drive to "transform" our nation into a European style Socialist country and the call for "social justice", code words for the redistribution of income.

One would think that American Socialists would see the end result of Socialist handiwork in the blue states in the US and Europe and run the other way; but their solution to the bankruptcy in Europe is to blame the private sector and enact more Socialist Schemes. In Socialist thinking, even though the lessons of history teach otherwise, it is free market capitalism that distorts the economy and causes misery, not big government spending, taxes and regulation that are a threat to economic growth and freedom. The only problem with this Socialist thinking, other than it is not true, is that the opposite has always occurred. Big government spending, higher taxes and more regulation always retards economic growth and causes a lower standard of living and less prosperity. Free market capitalism, with all its warts and boom and bust cycles, is the only way to economic growth and prosperity and ironically more government revenues to actually fund Socialist entitlements. Cutting taxes has always resulted in higher revenues for the government. Raising taxes has achieved just the opposite result.

And, perhaps most important, countries with high taxes, deficits and debt generally are less free. This occurs because as government grows, more and more bureaucracy is added to govern all aspects of life. Obama's HealthScare and CAP & TAX Plans will be the biggest government intrusion into daily life in the history of the United States, if not the world. Obama is also planning to federalize millions of acres of Western state land, to take those lands away from private sector use and gain more federal control in the states. In essence, this will be the Socialist blue states telling the Conservative red states what to do with their land. The 30 Plus Red states should say HELL NO to this land grab. In Nevada alone, the federal government already owns 86% of the state. The question is why?

Those who value freedom, prosperity and economic growth must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, a balanced budget, term limits, lower taxes and less regulation, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important,we must elect Conservatives that support that Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country by sweeping these Socialists out of office and making Obama a one term President. We can do it. We must do it to protect our freedoms and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Venezuela - 21st Century Socialism

Hugo Chavez, the "elected" leader of Venezuela is bringing 21st Century Socialism to that country in an "attempt" to transform the nation. Chavez, the left wing President of Venezuela, speaks of "social duty" and "socialist morality". Chavez has oil money to buy support from the poor in Venezuela, which is the base of his support. In the process and in the name of social justice, Chavez has created an authoritarian regime where the press is controlled, companies and industries are nationalized and opposition politicians are often jailed.

The end result of this "21st Century Socialism" is a lower standard of living in Venezuela for all citizens, make work government jobs, shortages of goods and services, the devaluation of the currency resulting in inflation of over 30%, black outs and rationed electricity. But then this is the story of Socialism where ever and when ever it has been tried in the world. So, this end result should be no surprise to anyone. The fact is that free market capitalism, with all its warts and boom and bust cycles, is the only economic system that has produced real and sustainable growth and prosperity. History is our teacher. It is what it is.

Chavez is a big mouth buffoon who has produced more poverty for his country because nationalized oil production is down so Chavez can no longer buy prosperity for his PEEP's. As a result, Chavez approval rating has fallen from 60% to 43%. Chavez has packed the courts to try to stay in power; but the day will come soon when the only way Chavez will remain in power is by setting aside any semblance of Democracy. Chavez has already tried to manipulate the Venezuelan Constitution to gain greater power. The likelihood is that Chavez will declare some sort of national emergency to deal with the "crisis" as an excuse to set aside the Constitution in order to take complete dictatorial power in Venezuela. We have seen this story before in Latin America and other regions so this sequence is nothing new. Is this all starting to sound familiar?

What is new, is that Socialist President Obama and the Socialists that control Congress are attempting to "transform" the United States into a Socialist nation doing the very same things that are happening in Venezuela. Obama's Trillions in deficit spending will bankrupt our nation and turn the US into a banana republic. If Obama's deficit spending is allowed to continue, we will see the collapse of the dollar and very high interest rates and inflation. Obama will continue to use bail outs to nationalize companies and industries. There are provisions in the financial regulation "reform" bill before Congress, which would allow this to happen. The Obama Administration wants to regulate the Internet to control free speech. HealthScare and CAP & Tax are the biggest expansion of government control over our lives in the history of our nation. Obama is growing government at an alarming rate with more public employee union members as the real goal. Under Obama, in the name of "social justice", more and more Americans will be dependent on the federal government, which is Obama's intent. These are Obama's PEEP's, the 50% of Americans who pay little, or no taxes at all. The real objective is to buy votes by creating more government entitlements just like in Venezuela or Greece.

Shortly, we will see Obama push for some sort of amnesty program for the 12 million illegal aliens in our country that are bankrupting our nation. And, Obama is moving to take over millions of acres of land throughout the West to gain Socialist control over those lands. Finally, Obama makes everything into a "crisis", especially financial and monetary crisis, and often speaks of a new world order and world government and regulation because Obama wants to be President of the World, not just the United States.

This is 21st Century Socialism and if Obama and the Socialists that control Congress are not swept out of office in 2010 and 2012, the United States will cease to be the nation created by our Founding Fathers. Instead, our country will become a Socialist member state probably just one more EURO member. We will lose our freedoms, our monetary system and our national identity. Don't think it can't happen because it has happened in Europe.

To prevent the US from becoming Venezuela, or Greece and controlled by other nations, we must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real energy independence and health care reform, a strong national defense, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives that support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses or the Courts. We can take back our country. We will take back our country in 2010 and 2012 to make Obama a one term President for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Apologizing To The Chinese - Ridiculous

Socialist President Obama's State Department has apologized to the Chinese government for American Human Rights violations related to Arizona's new law concerning illegal aliens. Does it get any more ridiculous? Have Obama's people forgotten about the massacre at Tianamen Square in Beijing? In any case, the Chinese control immigration within their own country of Chinese citizens with a registration system called hukou, which is intended to stop rural immigrants from flowing into the cities. Frankly, the system is understandable because otherwise millions of Chinese peasants seeking a better life would overrun already crowded cities in China. Keep in mind, a small city in China has two million or more people. The problem is that 60 years of Communism in China has produced two strata of people those that live in the country, who are often poor, and those that live in the city, who are better off; but not middle class by western standards.

This disparity exists in all facets of life. Urban dwellers have better access to housing and education and therefore prosperity. However, having been to China and India and seeing that China is a more orderly society, while India is in a constant state of chaos, though freedom is limited in China, given the huge population, the Chinese may have no other choice but to control these population flows. The same can be said for the state of Arizona. Since the Obama Administration refuses to do anything meaningful to secure our borders, elected officials in Arizona have no choice but to bring order to their state by attempting to deal with the illegal alien issue to stop the flow of people across the border and the drug smuggling, murders and kidnappings that are coming with it. In addition, the cost to deal with and support illegal aliens in the state of Arizona and other US states is bankrupting their state. The people of Arizona have every right to bring a stop to this invasion.

The Obama Administration is filled with Socialists and even Communists who do not believe in the American dream. Obama has gone all over the world apologizing for the US related to everything wrong in the world. Obama does not believe in American exceptionalism even though the American people have built the most prosperous, free nation in the history of the world. Clearly, we must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, real energy independence and health care reform, a strong national defense, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives, who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by sweeping the Socialists out of office. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - Socialist Economist

In a recent speech, Socialist Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the reason for the bad economy is that the "rich" are not being taxed enough. Since the top 10% of income earners pay most of the taxes in the United States, it is clear that Hillary Clinton went to the Socialist School of Economics. The so called "rich" often pay local, federal and state income taxes, property taxes, corporate income taxes if they are business owners, estate taxes, sales taxes and a variety of other government fees and business taxes. As such, it is probable that the "rich" are already paying more than 50% of their income in a variety of taxes when roughly 50% of Americans, Obama's Peeps, pay no income taxes at all.

Yet, Clinton has concluded that the "rich" are the reason for the bad economy. Since the "rich" probably own, or manage the private sector, it is the "rich" that create most of the jobs in the United States. While the "rich" are creating jobs, the government is destroying them as a result of higher taxes, more regulations and deficit spending in the Trillions, which is robbing the private sector of the credit needed to fund economic growth. So while Mrs. Clinton's comments about the "rich" may play well with Obama's Peeps, the fact is that Clinton's Socialist Keynesian Economics has never led to economic growth and prosperity any where in the world it has been practiced.

In fact, Keynesian economics, robbing from the "rich" to fund more government intrusion into people's lives and government jobs, has always resulted in higher unemployment overall, slower growth and a lower standard of living. I just wish Obama, people like Clinton and the Socialists who control Congress had studied history . Better yet, all these Socialists need to do today is read the stories in the news about countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Britain to what happens when governments practice Socialist economics.

Socialist President Obama and his supporters in Congress are bankrupting our country as is happening in Socialist Europe. These Socialists are presumably not stupid people so we must assume it is intentional. But why would they do it? Obama lives from "crisis" to "crisis" as an excuse to grow the government and gain more control over daily life. And, if the United States does experience financial collapse, it could lead to one world currency and world government. Forgive me for being suspicious, or for advancing a conspiracy theory; but since these Socialists are not stupid, we must assume some other ulterior motive for intentionally bankrupting our country and for unilaterally making the United States a weaker nation.

Obama and the Socialists that control Congress are a clear and present danger to our nation and our way of life. Obama's vision to "transform" America into a Socialist nation must be stopped at all costs during the elections of 2010 and 2012. Obama/Reid/Pelosi's goal is to redistribute income in the name of "social justice". This means taking from those that work hard and are productive to support those people who don't work hard and are less productive. This is a road to economic disaster. This is not about helping those in need; but rather about making people more dependent on government to grow government as the end result.

We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservative who support free market capitalism, not Socialism, limited government, not bigger government, a balanced budget not Trillion in deficit spending, lower taxes and less regulation, not higher taxes and more regulations, term limits, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, not HealthScare and CAP & TAX, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. In other words, we must elect Conservatives that oppose the Obama agenda to effectively make Obama a one term President. Most important, we must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We can do it in 2010 and 2012. We will do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Terror Plots - All Time High

The US Department of Homeland Security has indicated that Terror Plots against the US are at an all time high. This is happening after Socialist President Obama has extended a hand to Islamic nations presumably to help stop the Terrorist threat. Obama has extended that same hand to Iran and North Korea only to have it cut off as a slap in the face. Obama has moved away from the Bush Doctrine of Preemptive War to stop Terrorist threats before they materialize to the use of "diplomacy" to talk Terrorists into not murdering Americans. When is this President going to learn the lessons of International Relations 325, peace through strength and that appeasement never brings peace and security?

We are fighting Islamic Fascists who believe in Jihad, "holy war" against Western and moderate Moslem Countries. These fanatics want to establish a caliphate around the world to spread fundamental Islam. This is not going away and as as such represents a major threat to our way of life and freedoms. History is our best teacher when dealing with International Relations. When the US is strong both militarily and economically, there is less chance of war. When the US is weak both militarily and economically, our foreign adversaries will test our will and miscalculate to the point that war is unavoidable. Obama needs to recognize the threats that we face. We can't talk these threats away. This just ridiculous.

President Obama is naive and inexperienced and it shows. Foreign leaders and countries love Obama because he is weak and accommodating. Obama bowed to Russia by unilaterally taking missile defense out of Poland and the Czech Republic, without even consulting these nations, and got nothing in return. At a minimum, if this was to happen, Obama should have used this concession as a bargaining chip to get Russian support to stop Iranian nuclear development. Obama has announced that we may not use nuclear weapons, even if attacked. What is wrong with this President? Nothing should be taken off the table in the defense of our nation. And, when Obama bows to foreign leaders, it is a signal that he is WEAK. No American President should ever physically bow to any foreign leader. We fought a revolution so that no American would have to bow to any foreign leader.

Securing our borders is not just about stopping the drug trade and preventing illegal aliens, that are bankrupting our states and country from entering the United States; securing our borders is about preventing Terrorists from entering our country. Obama sent 1,200 members of the National Guard to help secure our border, which is nothing more than a token force. We need to post 50,000 members of the Army on our border to protect our nation. This is a national security issue not just about illegal immigration and drug smuggling.

President Obama is sworn to preserve and protect the United States of America. By his actions, it is clear that he guilty of malfeasance. This Socialist President is incompetent, which becomes more apparent by the day. Obama is Jimmy Carter II. We have to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, a strong national defense, including securing our border and properly fighting Terrorism, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most of all, we must elect Conservatives who understand the threat against our nation from Terrorism and who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 to make Obama a one term President. We can do it. We will do it to for our children and grandchildren.

Federal Spending Out Of Control

As the United States approaches $13 Trillion in debt, which does not include another $150 Trillion of liability to fund Social Security, Medicare and now HealthScrare, the Socialists that control Congress are getting ready to pass a Supplemental Spending Bill that represents another $300 Billion of unfunded spending. This includes $84 Billion for our war effort in Afghanistan and Iraq along with disaster aide to Haiti, $23 Billion to prevent teacher lay-off's and $6 Billion to fund Pell Grants for low income college students. Why on earth are we funding a war effort in Iraq, when Iraq has oil that can be used to fund these expenses? And, we were told that Obama's SwindleUS Plan would prevent teacher lay-offs. In any case, rather than cutting other programs, or expenses to fund these things, the Socialist controlled Congress is once again just signing checks. This means more borrowing from the Chinese and others to fund these expenditures just adding to our national debt.

The question is, when does it all stop? The federal government will take in $2.3 Trillion in tax revenues in 2010 and spend $3.9 Trillion resulting in a deficit of more than $1.6 Trillion, the highest in American history. Our nation is on the road to bankruptcy and becoming a banana republic. Moody's has said that by 2013 if this level of deficit spending continues, the US will lose our triple AAA credit rating. If that happens, when the US borrows in the future, interest rates will be much higher, which will only make matters worse as more and more tax revenues are needed to service the debt, rather than fund other government expenditures.

The Tea Party Movement along with many others are sounding the alarm bells. Yet, the Socialist who control Congress and President Obama continue to ignore all of this as they spend our nation into bankruptcy. As such, we must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, a balanced budget, lower taxes and less regulation, term limits, a strong national defense including securing our borders, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most of all, we must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, Congresses, or the Courts. We must get back to basics to save our country. We can do it. We will do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

The Case For Limited Government & Lower Taxes

President Obama is attempting to transform our nation into a Socialist country in which government controls the means of production rather than the free market. Obama is attempting to pick winners and loser with bail outs and subsidies. Aside from bankrupting the country with all of Obama's Socialist Schemes, bail outs etc. , in doing so, the size of government is projected to grow to about 25% of gross domestic product (GDP). History tells us that when government grows much bigger than 17% of GDP, the private sector, the job creation engine of the nation, suffers greatly and the end result will be perpetual high unemployment, slower growth and a lower standard of living in the United States. This is precisely what has happened in Europe.

It is true that Europeans live in a welfare state that provides them with health care and many other benefits; but it is at the expense of their overall standard of living and freedom. The trade off in Europe for this economic security is much higher taxes and energy costs, which gives Europeans less discretionary income and freedom. In addition, unemployment in Europe has always been higher than in the United States with more people perpetually on the dole. The chickens have come home to roost in Greece and other European countries because their systems are not sustainable. We have the same thing happening in California, which has among the highest overall tax burden in the nation; yet is bankrupt. The tax burden and crazy employment practice and environmental laws in California are pushing more and more jobs and companies out of California. And, it is a vicious cycle. As the jobs leave, the tax revenues are not there to pay for the welfare state, which then requires higher taxes, which causes even more jobs to leave.

President Obama and the Socialists that control Congress, whether intentionally or not, are orchestrating this vicious cycle. As they implement Trillions in deficit spending to support public employees and all their Socialist Schemes, jobs will be lost, which will result in less tax revenues going to the government. As this happens, Obama and friends will push for higher taxes of all kinds, which will kill even more jobs. They then will push for even higher taxes and more bail outs and longer unemployment benefits to deal with the "crisis". This is a never ending circle of decline.

In addition, Obama and team are projecting 4% average GDP growth to deal with the humongous national debt, which is projected to grow to $23 Trillion over the next ten years, if these Socialists are not stopped in upcoming elections. This does not include the $150 Trillion of unfunded liability for HealthScare, Social Security and Medicare that is just sitting there waiting to explode on the American people. The problem is that top Economists have concluded that government growth to 25% of GDP is likely to produce average slower growth of 2%, or less, over the next ten years. So even with significantly higher taxes, planned by the Obama Regime, it will be impossible to bring down this debt and it is likely to be even higher than projected because as interest rates go up, as they will in the next ten years, the federal government will have to use more and more tax revenues just to service the debt let alone pay it off.

The only way to deal with the national debt is by cutting taxes to create jobs in the private sector and by shrinking the federal government to no more than 17% of GDP. This will not happen as long as Obama and the Socialists who control Congress are in power. Hence the reason we must elect Conservatives in 2010 and 2012 who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, a strong national defense including securing our borders, real energy independence and health care reform, not CAP & TAX and HealthScare, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. This platform is the road to prosperity and freedom. And, we must elect Conservatives that support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former President, Congresses or the Courts. We have to take back our country in 2010 and 2012. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

P.S. Please pass this posting on to all your friends and neighbors to help educate them on the facts we face as a nation.

Socialists In Congress - Counting the Days

In a special election, Republican Charles Djou, just beat out two Socialists in Hawaii, in the Congressional district where Obama was "born". This Congressional seat had traditionally been held by Democrats for years. Djou will have to face the voters again in November since this was a special election; but it may very well be that given the foul mood in the country against Socialists that he will hold this seat. Don't forget while a Socialist recently won in the 12th district in Pennsylvania, he was a pro-gun, pro-life, anti-HealthScare Democrat who ran against Obama. Heck, the Socialist in Pennsylvania was more conservative than some RINO Republicans.

At the same time, multi-millionaire Socialist Congressman Alan Grayson, of central Florida recently said that giving back the Republican Party control of Congress would be the same as allowing Al Qaeda Terrorists to pilot a plane. This is the same Congressman who said during the HealthScare debate that Republicans wanted to Americans "to die". Grayson is fast becoming a major embarrassment to the Socialist Party; but since he can finance his own campaigns, Grayson can continue to spew his venom. This goofy guy has one big, big, mouth.

What is really funny is that allowing Obama, Reid and Pelosi to continue controlling the federal government is like turning the keys over to Bernie Madoff, only a Trillion times worse. Obama, Reid and Pelosi and all their Socialist partners in crime are running the largest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world. If these characters worked in business and had to adhere to "generally accepted accounting principles", they would all be in jail for intentionally bankrupting our nation as a violation of their fidiciary responsibility to protect the interests of the American people as stockholders.

At the same time, Socialist Senator Chuckie (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) Schumer is counting the days until the November election; just like we are because he is wishing and hoping for Senator Dirty Harry Reid of Nevada to lose because Schumer is already campaigning to be the Senate Majority Leader. Chuckie, we want Harry to lose too and we will do what we can to make it happen. Of course, Schumer is counting his chickens before they hatch because he is assuming that the Socialists will retain control of the Senate, which may not be the case as WE THE PEOPLE are planning a tidal wave to sweep these Socialists out of office.

We are going to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, a balanced budget, term limits, lower taxes and less regulation, a strong national defense including securing our borders, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. We will elect Conservatives that support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We can do it. We are going to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 to effectively end the Obama Presidency for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Senator Dirty Harry Reid - Here He Goes Again

Socialist Senator Harry Reid of Nevada is up to his dirty tricks, as usual. Early Primary voting has begun in Nevada in advance of the June 8th Primary. Dirty Harry is already spending big dollars attacking front runner, Sue Lowden, the Republican Candidate for the US Senate. Lowden is 13 points ahead of Reid in the polls so naturally dirty politics and mud slinging is to be expected from Harry Reid, who is well known for this kind of shenanigans in Nevada. But, this one takes the cake. Socialist Operatives, no doubt directed by the Reid campaign, were planning on going to the polls wearing chicken suits presumably to mock an off the cuff remark made by Lowden lamenting simpler times when ranchers and farmers in Nevada used to barter for goods and services, including medical care. Lowden remarked that in the old days, people just paid for medical services with a chicken.

Obviously, anyone with a brain realizes that Lowden was not proposing this remedy as a solution to real health care reform. In fact, Lowden advocates REPEAL AND REPLACE of the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Healthscare Plan suggesting instead very specific, well thought out health care reform solutions that are on her web site.

But if Obama, Reid and Pelosi continue to bankrupt our country, making our dollar worthless, we may very well be back to the days of bartering, so doctors may be glad to get a chicken, or anything else of value in return for their services. Ha Ha! In any case, election officials in Nevada have put a stop to this silly gimmick. If they had not, I am sure that Reid opponents, which make up about 70% of Nevadans, would have gone to the polls with Reid's head on a stick to express our displeasure with Senator Dirty Harry Reid.

In the mean time, while Harry Reid and his friends are playing chicken games, official unemployment in Nevada rose to 13.4%, the highest level in state history. And, if all are counted, the unemployment rate in Nevada is probably above 18%, the second highest in the country, after Michigan. Further, Nevada has the highest foreclosure rate in the country. Though the economy may be coming back in some locations, Nevada is in a DEPRESSION thanks to Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Don't forget Obama scolded businesses for holding conventions in Nevada, which cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs as conferences were cancelled. Reid was missing in action when Obama killed the state of Nevada. Even the Democrat Mayor of Las Vegas went ballistic over Obama's remarks; but not Harry.

Senator Dirty Harry Reid opposes the diversification of Nevada's economy, which would come if Reid would allow Yucca Mountain to open as the national nuclear repository. Yucca is about a hundred miles from Las Vegas, in the middle of the desert and it would be the perfect site for a nuclear reprocessing industry, much as happens in countries like France. If opened Yucca would result in thousands of jobs for Nevada. After the federal government invested $2 Billion to build Yucca, Harry Reid vetoed its opening. Thanks alot Harry. Tell it to the people who lost their jobs and their homes.

In November, it will be time for the people of Nevada to veto Harry Reid as we end his political career and send Reid back to Searchlight, that hell hole in the middle of the desert, about 50 miles South of Las Vegas. Oh wait a minute, Harry Reid lives in an apartment at the Ritz Carlton, a luxury hotel in Washington DC. How does someone earning $174,000 a year afford the Ritz? That is the $120,000 question, since I suspect an apartment at the Ritz in Washington DC must cost that much a year, or more. It might be possible because the Reid family earns millions of dollars as paid lobbyists. It is time for Harry Reid and his Socialist supporters to stop their chicken games and accept responsibility for the unemployment and foreclosures in Nevada. Don't forget Reid was a big supporter of the sub prime mortgages and corrupt Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that caused the financial meltdown.

We have to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by throwing the Socialists, like Senator Dirty Harry Reid of Nevada, out of office and electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We have to send Senator Dirty Harry Reid back to Searchlight, or his pent house at the Ritz and make Obama a one term President. We can do it. We will do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

P.S. Only a few months to the election in November. We are counting the days.

Dictatorship Coming to the US - States in Revolt

The Socialist that control the Congress are intent on transferring to the Executive Branch of the Government, basically Socialist President Obama, the authority to make the rules concerning HealthScare, CAP & TAX, Financial Regulations and Immigration Enforcement. While the Congress is passing laws that will impact every single American, they are leaving to the President the "how" related to those laws. In doing so, there is an unprecedented transfer of power from the people, presumably represented by elected representatives, such as they are, to the President. This is an extremely dangerous precedent that must be stopped because it will lead to dictatorship in the United States with little or no checks and balances.

Many states are already in open revolt against the Obama Administration and all of their Socialist Schemes to "transform America" into a Socialist nation like nothing seen before. The Attorneys General in more than 20 states have filed lawsuits to bring down Obama's HealthScare Plan. The state of Arizona is attempting to deal with the illegal alien problem because Obama refuses to secure our border. Now the states of Texas, Rhode Island, Utah and Georgia are considering similar legislation and more will follow. Some states are also considering litigation against the federal government related to the illegal alien issue because Obama's failure to secure our borders is creating an unfunded mandate that is bankrupting the states.

We are getting close to a judicial civil war in the United States as various states are exercising their 10th Amendment rights to stand up and JUST SAY HELL NO. And, WE THE PEOPLE continue to organize as part of the Tea Party Movement to stop Obama's deficit spending that is bankrupting our country. In my life time, with the exception of the Viet Nam War, which involved protests in the streets, we have never seen the national uproar that is occurring today because Obama is attempting to impose his Socialist Schemes on the American people.

And, at a time when we should be cutting taxes to create jobs, Obama and the Socialists who control Congress are planning on raising taxes, which will lead to high unemployment for years to come. And further, cheap energy has always been a goal in the United States as the basis for prosperity and a higher standard of living than exists in other countries; but Obama wants to raise energy cost for all by passing CAP & TAX, which will not only be a job killer bill, it will result in a lower standard of living for all Americans.

We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, term limits, a balanced budget, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. This is the winning platform. We can take back our country in 2010 and 2012 to effectively end the Obama Presidency. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Mexico Failed State - Calderon Lectures Our Country

In the height of audacity, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, went before a joint session of Congress, and lectured our country and more specifically the state of Arizona concerning its recently passed law to simply ask for proof of citizenship while enforcing the laws of Arizona. By the way, according to a Fox News Poll, this Arizona practice is supported by 84% of Americas. Calderon, who has been eating too many burritos and must be sufferring from gas, called the law "racial profiling", when in fact the law specifically prohibits racial profiling.

What is even worse is that that the Socialists who control Congress all stood up and gave Calderon rousing applause in response to these comments. Right in the front row, was Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, the former Governor of Arizona, both of whom admitted they have not even read the 16 page Arizona law, were standing in applause, as well. Holder and Napolitano, who are both incompetent, should be FIRED and for a variety of reasons.

Mexico is a failed state that cannot provide for its own people. As such, American taxpayers are stuck with the bill to support 12 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States. While illegal aliens are hard workers just trying to earn a buck to send back to Mexico, these refugees from Mexico are tax users, not tax payers that impact our public schools, hospitals on tax payer funded Medicaid, prisons because of high crime rates, law enforcement and criminal justice systems. Illegal Aliens cost American tax payers billions of dollars each year. These expenses are contributing to the both the bankruptcy of the United States and many of our states. It has got to stop.

We need to send Mexican President Calderon a message. GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER BEFORE YOU DARE COME TO THE UNITED STATES AND CRITICIZE OUR COUNTRY. And, we also need to send the Mexican President a bill for taking care of his people since he obviously can't do the job. Perhaps, we should require payment from the oil revenues generated by Mexico that go into the pockets of the Mexican, corrupt elite rather than building a prosperous nation that would allow illegal aliens to remain in their own country.

Mexico prosecutes illegal aliens that enter their country on its Southern Border for violating their laws and so should the United States. Governor Jan Brewer and Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl of Arizona have all asked the Obama Administration to send in the National Guard to secure the border to no avail. Socialist President Obama is guilty of malfeasance and dereliction of duty since he is sworn to preserve and protect the United States of America. What could be more basic than securing our border? We don't need "immigration reform" proposed by the President and the Socialists that control Congress that would provide amnesty, in order to secure our border and stop the drug smuggling, murders, kidnappings, and illegal aliens from entering our country, which include potential Terrorists.

We have to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, a balance budget, term limits, lower taxes and less regulation, a strong national defense including securing our borders, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. This is the winning platform in 2010 and 2012. We must end the Obama Presidency first by taking back control of Congress and second by making Obama a one term President. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

P.S. The state department apologized to the Chinese for our "human rights violation" concerning the Arizona law. This is just unbelievable given the fact that China is not a free country allowing for the basic freedoms in our Bill of Rights. Members of the Obama Administration must be taking drugs, smuggled in from Mexico, to make such a ridiculous statement. What other explanation can there be?

Illegal Immigration & Mexico

Socialist President Obama recently welcomed Mexican President Felipe Calderon to the White House for a state visit. During a press conference both Presidents condemned the state of Arizona for passing a law designed to identify illegal aliens, as part of normal law enforcement procedures, in accordance with federal law. The Arizona law specifically prohibits "racial profiling". Obama called Arizona's new law a "misdirected effort".

The fact of the matter is that Obama has failed to secure our borders by sending in the national guard that is being requested by Arizona's elected officials. The border is now a battle zone because of drug smuggling. And, there continues to be a flood of illegal aliens entering our country, which is bankrupting states like California and Arizona that incur billions in annual medical, education, prison and criminal cost as a result of the influx of illegal aliens.

We do need immigration reform. There should be a guest worker program that allows Mexicans to enter our country to work; but in no way gives them any advantage related to becoming an American citizen. Our procedures to gain citizenship should be the same for all based on strict rules that are applied fairly. Those who violate our laws should not be rewarded with citizenship through amnesty. And, we need to amend our Constitution to state that children born in the United States are only citizens of the United States if their parents are citizens. The US is probably the only country in the world, where someone can come across our border illegally, and have a baby who is automatically an American citizen. That is ridiculous.

Mexico is clearly the problem. Aside from the drug wars going on in Mexico and incredible corruption, poverty in Mexico exists because a very small number of families control the wealth of Mexico. It is really that simple. The US has served as a safety valve for Mexico for years. Mexico's poor come to the US for work because they can find none in Mexico. And, since these illegal aliens then send a billion or more dollars back to Mexico each year, illegal aliens are a key source of income for the people of Mexico. As such, the Mexican government has absolutely no incentive to control the border. In fact, some time ago, the Mexican government actually printed booklets telling Mexicans how to enter the US and cross our border illegally. This has got to stop.

Of course, Socialist President Obama will do nothing to stop illegal immigration because the Socialist Party supports amnesty to give these people citizenship in exchange for their votes. Well dah! A country that cannot control its borders will not be a country for long. As such, we must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, term limits, a strong national defense including securing our borders, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. We must elect Conservatives that support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012. We must gain control of our borders. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

The Tidal Wave Is Coming - Obama Has To Go

In a major repudiation of Socialist President Obama, long time RINO, turned Socialist Senator Arlen Specter was defeated in the Socialist Primary in Pennsylvania, ending a 40 year career in politics. Specter was an old wind bag, who deserved to lose because of all of his shenanigans. Specter was supported by Obama in commercials and robo calls, as well as, the Socialist establishment in Pennsylvania including big unions; yet Socialist Congressman Joe Sestak beat Specter by a big majority; throwing the long time incumbent out of office. It would appear that Obama is the political kiss of death as was the case in Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey that all went Republican in recent elections after Obama campaigned for Socialist candidates in those states.

While Socialist Mark Critz won in the 12th district in Pennsylvania, filling John Murtha's old seat, Critz ran as far away from Obama as he could in this district that is 2 to 1 Democrat to Republican so this win is inconsequential. In Kentucky, Republican Tea Party Candidate Dr. Rand Paul, the son of Ron Paul, won the Republican nomination for the US Senate decisively beating the establishment Republican candidate, Secretary of State, Trey Grayson. In Arkansas, incumbent Socialist Senator Blanche Lincoln has been forced into a run off since she did not capture 50% of the Socialist vote in that state primary. This is one more Socialist incumbent that will bite the dust in November.

The tidal wave is coming. Incumbents like Socialist Senator Harry Reid of Nevada and Senator Barbara Boxer of California and many others will be defeated in November. Socialist President Obama and his Socialist Schemes are an anchor around the necks of these left wing politicians. The American people led by the Tea Party Movement are standing up to JUST SAY HELL NO to Obama's HealthScare, SwindleUS and CAP & TAX Plans. We don't support the redistribution of income in the name or "social justice". We don't want bigger government, higher taxes and more regulation that threaten our freedoms. Most of all, we will not stand by and watch Obama bankrupt the United States causing the financial collapse of our nation. We don't want the transformation of the United States into a Socialist nation. It is just that simple.

We are going to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, a balanced budget, lower taxes and less regulation, term limits, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we will elect Conservatives in 2010 and 2012 who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012. We can do it. We are going to do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren. The tidal wave is coming. Obama and the Socialists that control Congress have to go.

Another Federal Government Failure - The Oil Disaster

It is rather difficult to watch congressional hearings that often are designed as show trials to torture corporate executives when Members of Congress never, never take responsibility for anything negative that happens in the United States when they are often at the root of the problem. (i.e Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae at the heart of the financial crisis) Once again, we watched British Petroleum executives experience trial by fire concerning the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf. Don't get me wrong, if BP is responsible for this accident as a result of negligence they should pay and pay and pay. And, even if there was no negligence, BP still should pay for the clean up and for damages to all that are impacted by this terrible disaster. With profits come risks and this is one of those risks in the oil business that must be accepted as a cost of doing business.

However, the federal government has dirty oil on its hands too. The Interior Department Energy and Mineral Management Service is responsible for regulating off shore oil drilling including all the safety issues to prevent accidents like the one that has occurred in the Gulf. Chris Oynes, the Associate Director at the Department of Interior, in charge of this agency decided to "retire" rather than face the heat. Whether Oynes was actually fired, or just pushed out is irrelevant. The fact is that the federal government is guilty of blatant incompetence, as usual. Of course, radical Socialist Senator Barbara Boxer of California and seven other Senators are planning an investigation of BP perhaps hoping to find some criminal intent. That's fine; but why not investigate the federal government, as well, to see who was on the take, or was getting kick backs to avoid inspections of this oil rig. For once, a government employee needs to be held responsible and perhaps go to jail if there was any shenanigans.

Socialist President Obama is convening a Presidential Panel to determine the causes of the accident. This is kind of like Obama's Debt Commission, which is a big farce. The Debt Commission will recommend higher taxes to fund Obama's Socialist Schemes and means testing for the rich; surprise, surprise. The Oil Disaster Panel will blame the disaster on BP rather than focusing on the government bureaucracy that failed to do its job. Why waste time and money on these commissions when the outcome is certain?

This is the same federal government that now is in place to regulate our Health Care. This is the same federal government that has bankrupted Social Security by stealing our contributions since 1965. This is the same federal government that is running a $13 Trillion national debt with more to come. Mismanagement in Washington is legend; yet Members of Congress have the audacity to lecture those who come before them as though they are not running the largest Ponzi scheme in human history. It would be laughable except for the fact that Congressional mismanagement will lead to the bankrupcy of the United States, which is a whole lot worse than an oil spill in the Gulf.

We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support limited government, a balanced budget, lower taxes and less regulation, term limits, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. We must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. The last thing we need is bigger government because the Federal government has proven over and again that it cannot manage important functions. We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Socialism or Capitalism - The Choice Is Coming

Every election year, American politicians always say that THIS is the most important election in the history of the United States. For the most part in years past, that was rarely true; but it made for good drama. In 2010 and 2012, it should now be clear that these two upcoming election years will be among the most important in American history. While the United States has suffered some particularly bad Presidents in the past like Grant, Buchanan, Harding and Carter and many corrupt Congressmen and Senators, our nation survived in spite of them. This is true because our Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, has always served as the bed rock of our nation.

However, with the election of Socialist President Obama and Congress currently controlled by Socialists, our country is really at a turning point and so the elections of 2010 and 2012 will be among the most important in our history. To be clear, the Democrat Party is dead and is today controlled by left wing ideologues who are Socialists. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich calls them Secular Socialists because they are all big government, tax and spend, left wing radicals, most of whom have never worked in the real world and many of whom come from academia including Obama. These Socialists see government as the solution to every problem when in fact government is usually the reason for the problem.

We are indeed at a crossroad and the outcome will be determined by the elections of 2010 and 2012. We will either remain a nation founded on the basis of free market capitalism, which has always been the basis for our growth, prosperity and power. Or, if Obama is not stopped, he and the Socialists that control Congress will transform the United States into a Socialist nation, which will result in a lower standard of living for all and the financial collapse of the United States as is happening in Europe.

Many of the 50% of Americans who pay no income taxes at all and are in fact tax users, along with public employee union members feeding at the trough, the left wing media and the academic elite will vote for Socialism because they do not support free market capitalism even though it is the goose laying their golden eggs.

Many of the 50% of Americans who pay all the income taxes in this country, along with small business owners and entrepreneurs who are job creators, people of faith and people in the heartland, will vote for Conservatives who support free market capitalism. It is red state against blue state; Socialists against Conservatives and the divide has never been greater because of Socialist President Obama that many see as a clear and present danger to the United States. This is why there is a Tea Party Movement and protests in the streets.

And, let there be no doubt, this divide has nothing to do with the fact that Obama is an African American. This divide is not racial at all. It is instead ideological. Obama's Socialist vision for America is not the vision of most Americans and certainly not the vision of our Founding Fathers, who did everything they could when drafting the Constitution, to limit government. Those limitations have been trampled in the last 100 years by various Presidents, Congresses and the Courts, which is the reason we must take back our country in 2010 and 2012.

The fate of our country will be decided in 2010 and 2012 by about 20% of Americans; mostly Independents and so called "Moderates" of both political parties. It is these people that will determine if we are to be a Socialist nation, or a Capitalist nation. If the vote were held today, there is a pretty good likelihood that the Republican Party and more importantly Conservatives would take over one, or both houses of Congress because Independents and Moderates of both parties are leaning Republican. Of course, six months in politics is a life time so the outcome of the election in 2010 is far from determined. Most Americans oppose Obama's HealthScare Plan, SwindleUS Plan, CAP & TAX and all the bail outs that are bankrupting our country. Most Americans are center right rather than Socialists so there is a very good chance that we will be able to take back our country in 2010 and 2012.

Conservatives must regain control of Congress in 2010 to stop all of Obama's Socialist Schemes and effectively end Obama's Presidency. The choice is clear. Free Market Capitalism and prosperity and freedom, or Obama's Socialism, which will lead to tyranny and has failed to bring prosperity and economic growth, throughout the world when ever and where ever it has been tried. We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

California & Pennsylvania - States to Watch

RINO Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed more than $12 Billion in cuts to close a $19 Billion budget deficit in California. Keep in mind that California is required to balance its budget each year in accordance with the state's Constitution; but has been running multi-billion deficits for several years by borrowing to pay current operating expenses. But now, California has reached the end of the line. Since the state is actually bankrupt, borrowing even more money is problematic at best.

As such, Schwarzenegger is proposing real cuts to health and welfare programs because deficits persist as a result of Socialist Schemes that have driven jobs and companies out of California and because tax revenues are $3 Billion less than was anticipated. This really should be no surprise to anyone since official unemployment in California is at 12.5%. Unemployment is actually much higher if the underemployed and those that have stopped looking for jobs are also counted.

In any case, the rubber has hit the road. Unless Socialist President Obama steps in to bail out California, these cuts are necessary; however, it is doubtful that the Socialists that control Sacramento and the public employee unions that control these politicians will ever allow these cuts to happen. Since Schwarzenegger claims he will not allow tax increases (we shall see about that since the Governor has approved billions in tax increases in the past), it would appear that Californians will see another summer circus that happens every year in this dysfunctional state.

And, then there is Pennsylvania. Incumbent RINO, turned Socialist, 76 year old, Senator Arlen Specter is being challenged by left wing Socialist Congressman Joe Sestak. Obama campaigned for Specter, who has the support of the Socialist establishment (sort of); but it is starting to look like Specter may bite the dust in the primary. Sestak is surging ahead in the polls. Arlen Specter, who has been in office for many terms is a dinosaur and an old windbag, who deserves to lose, for all of his shenanigans. If Specter does lose it will be clear that Obama is the political kiss of death for incumbents and other Socialists running for office since it would appear that where ever Obama campaigns (Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts), the Socialist candidate bites the dust.

Watch California and Pennsylvania in the weeks ahead. California will again demonstrate a complete lack of ability to deal with its financial crisis. And, if Specter goes down, it will be a clear demonstration of the tidal wave that is coming that will sweep Socialists like Harry Reid of Nevada and many others out of office, as well. Republicans are likely to take over the Congress if this trend continues to effectively bring an end to the Obama Presidency, which must be our goal to stop all of Obama's Socialist Schemes.

We are going to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we will elect Conservatives who support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. The tidal wave is coming that will sweep these Socialists out of office and back to the college campuses that they came from. We can do it. We will do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren to save our country.

Obama's New Bail Out Plan For Teachers

Socialist President Obama is proposing a new "off the books" emergency $26 Billion bail out plan to prevent 300,000 public school teachers from being laid off because the states just do not have the money to fund these jobs. This should be no surprise because left wing public school union teachers usually make up about half the delegates at a typical Democrat Socialist Convention. Union teachers are the Socialist Party's most active supporters. So this is just one more huge pay off just like the auto union employee pay off that was the basis for the GM bail out.

The only problem with this particular Obama Scheme is that this $26 Billion is off budget, which means the government must either borrow the money, or print the money to pay for it. That is business as usual since Obama is doing the very same thing related to Trillions in deficit spending that is bankrupting our country. However, this is on top of the $100 Billion that was in Obama's Trillion Dollar SwindleUS Plan that went to public school districts, $48 Billion of which was supposed to save "300,000" teacher jobs. So is this the same 300,000 teacher jobs, or is this a new group of teachers that face lay offs? Since the Obama Administration plays fast and loose with the facts and often just lies finding an "emergency" every other day requiring a bail out, it is hard to tell if Obama is attempting to fund the same lost jobs.

More important, Obama is bankrupting the United States. Whether it is good or bad to save these teacher jobs is probably debatable, but our country is BROKE. After spending $2.3 Trillion in tax revenues in 2010, the deficit this year will be $1.56 Trillion if you believe the Obama Administration. It will probably be even higher; yet this Socialist President keeps writing checks with money that he does not have to spend. In the next few weeks, the national debt will hit $13 Trillion and that does not include Trillions more of unfunded liability for Social Security, Medicare and now HealthScare. This is fiscal insanity. It sure looks like Obama and the Socialists who control Congress are intentionally acting to cause the financial collapse of the United States. What other conclusion can there be?

We can't let that happen. We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, term limits, the sanctity of life and family values. We must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses or the Courts. This is the winning platform. The Bail Outs must stop. The deficit spending that is bankrupting our country must stop. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Obama & Socialists Lied About The HealthScare Plan

President Obama and the Socialists that control Congress lied about the cost of Obama's HealthScare Plan. It was all smoke and mirrors. Now we learn from new Congressional Budget Office numbers that "surprisingly" were not available before the vote that had to happen in a big rush, or life as we know it was going to end, that HealthScare is actually going to cost another $115 Billion over ten years. So if you believe the numbers, which most Americans don't, Obama's HealthScare Plan is going to cost over $1 Trillion over ten years and that is with $500 Billion in new taxes and $500 Billion in Medicare Cuts.

However, like Medicare that actually cost four times what was projected in 1965 when it was enacted into law, it is likely the HealthScare will follow the same pattern so instead of costing $1 Trillion over the next ten years, it will probably cost three or four Trillion dollars. Of course, this is money that the US does not have so it will result in huge debt, assuming the our financial system does not collapse first, which is likely if the current Obama spending trajectory is allowed to continue.

At the same time, the Obama Administration has moved to help bail out Europe with borrowed money and will shortly announce a bail out of various US states that are bankrupt as a result of Socialist Schemes and illegal immigration. So rather than cut spending to end various entitlements and pork barrel spending in the Trillions of dollars, the Socialists in both the United States and Europe continue to spend money with reckless abandon in violation of their fiduciary responsibility as elected representatives of the people. Oh, and lets not forget the billions in bail out monies that are going to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to prop up the housing market in the US. None of this is sustainable as we approach $13 Trillion in debt in the next few weeks.

The day of reckoning is surely coming because this just can't continue. Moody's rating agency has already announced that by 2013, the US will no longer be rated as a Triple AAA rated credit risk, which means that the US will have to pay much higher interest rates to borrow money making matters even worse. This is exactly what just happened in Greece as their bonds were rated as junk bonds requiring the EU to step in to prevent the collapse of the EURO and the whole EU system.

This is serious business; yet we have Socialist elected representatives in Congress and Obama who apparently just do not understand Economics 101 and global finance. It is only a matter of time before all of these things come to pass because eventually the balloon will just burst as just happened in Greece. We can't let that happen. We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, real energy independence and health care reform, a strong national defense including properly dealing with Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. And, we must elect Conservatives that support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. In doing so, we must repeal Obama's HealthScare Plan and replace it with a common sense approach to health care reform that does not bankrupt our country. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

The Federal Deficit & Spending Are Out of Control

President Obama and the Socialists that control Congress are leading our country toward a financial collapse; much worse than what is happening in Europe. Obama is now projecting that the deficit for 2010 will be the highest in American history at $1.56 Trillion. And, Obama can't blame this huge deficit on George Bush. This is Obama's reckless spending. During the month of April alone, the federal deficit was $82.7 Billion, which is an ominous sign because normally the federal government runs a surplus in April because that is tax confiscation month. Clearly spending is completely out of control. Yet, the US is now contributing toward a bail out of Socialist European countries. This is just plain fiscal lunacy.

How can any elected representative of either party sworn to protect and defend the United States vote to bankrupt our country. This is malfeasance of the highest order and it should be an impeachable offense. But why are the Socialists doing this? That is really the question of the day. It must be that they purposely want to see the economic collapse of the United States so that we can move to world government in some bail out scheme thereby surrendering our sovereignty to a world body like the UN, or some other governing entity. What other conclusion can there be? None of this is happening by accident.

All Americans need to wake up and soon to save our country. The good news is that the tidal wave is coming. Another Socialist bit the dust this week as the voters of West Virginia voted to oust 28 year Congressman Alan Mollohan. Mollohan was defeated by another more conservative Socialist in the primary, State Senator Mike Olivero as the people of West Virginia voted to throw out an incumbent who voted for Obama's HealthScare and SwindleUS Plans. Even Democrats in West Virginia have stood up to say HELL NO to a Congressional incumbent, out of step with his district.

We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, a balanced budget, term limits, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives that support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. This is the winning platform. We must stop the deficit spending and all the bail outs that are bankrupting our country. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

P.S. The Senate is now considering CAP & TAX, which will dramatically raise energy costs for all Americans and cause even higher unemployment.

American and Global Democracies Must Change

Our Founding Fathers, who conceived the greatest form of government in human history, would be shocked and dismayed at the corruption, deficit spending and the $13 Trillion debt Americans face today. The fact is that elected representatives in most democracies have proven over and over again that they cannot be trusted with our money and or to act prudently to avoid deficit spending and huge debt. Bankrupt Greece is symptomatic of what is happening all over the world. Elected Representatives in most major democracies are bankrupting their nations to buy votes and stay in office often to line their own pockets.

What is happening is disgraceful. So now the Europeans (the Germans and French) and the International Monetary Fund, (using US tax payer money) are bailing out Greece and presumably other countries in Europe that have created Socialist welfare states that are not sustainable. So rather than cut spending, these bail outs are just delaying the day of reckoning, which is sure to come. And, this is what Obama wants to bring to America.

WE THE PEOPLE must stand up and JUST SAY NO to Obama's deficit spending and new social programs, taxes and regulations, when Social Security and Medicare are already bankrupt. WE THE PEOPLE must take back the power we delegated to our elected representatives because they have proven conclusively that they cannot be trusted to safeguard our national interests. If the United States and other Democracies continue on their current path, it will lead to the economic collapse of these countries and our financial system. And, since history is always the best teacher, it is probable that if this occurs, there will civil strife as is happening in Greece, which could lead to dictatorship and the loss of our freedoms. We just can't let this happen.

If we don't stop Socialist President Obama from pursuing his Socialist Schemes aimed at redistribution of income in the name of "social justice", we will see Trillions in deficit spending even with higher taxes and the eventual financial collapse of the United States. To prevent all of this from happening, it is very clear that we need Constitutional Amendments requiring a balanced budget, term limits and more involvement of the states and the people related to approval of federal tax laws and spending. It is very clear that we need more checks and balances to save our democracy and prevent economic collapse because we can't trust our elected representatives to protect our interests.

Don't think it can't happen because it has happened in other countries. And, when it does happen, it will be the end of our national sovereignty as we beg for a "bail out" from China, or some other group of countries. Never forget, that he who has the gold makes the rules. When we no longer have the gold, it will be other countries dictating the rules to us the same way Greece is now being told what to do in their country as a condition of bail out. On that day, we will lose our freedoms, the very freedoms Americans have fought and died to defend.

We must take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, real energy independence and health care reform, a strong national defense, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. We must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, not at contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. Let there be no doubt that our democracy and our freedoms are at stake. We must take back our country to prevent the economic collapse that will otherwise come if we don't change course and soon. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

California, Greece & The US - Fiscal Lunacy

California has been voted the 51st worst place to do business, even lower than the District of Columbia, by the CEO's of 650 companies surveyed by Chief Executive magazine. Characterized by the magazine as the Venezuela of North America, it should be no surprise that bankrupt California would rate so low specific to the state's business climate. Texas was rated the number one state to do business; also no surprise. California is the nation's least business friendly, highest taxed and most regulated state in the Union followed by New York, New Jersey and Michigan, which have also been run by Socialists for years.

To make matters even worse, the Socialists that control Sacramento along with RINO Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, enacted Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, California's version of Obama's CAP & TAX Socialist Scheme. It is estimated that this new law will cost California a million or more jobs as a result of much higher energy cost in the state. In fact, AB 32 will result in $3.7 billion in higher gasoline and diesel fuel costs along with a 60% increase in electricity costs. This legislation will add $50,000 to the cost of a new home and cost $143 Billion for CAP & Trade Auctions. This is a JOB KILLER and will result in even more jobs and companies leaving the state, which will mean even less tax revenues to California that already has a $20 Billion budget deficit.

Like Greece, California is an economic basket case not because of free market capitalism; but because of Socialist Schemes. Public employee unions and their supporters in the legislature have bankrupted the state. Of course, the unions are pushing for even higher taxes to support their bloated salaries and pensions. And, the unions are also pushing for legislation that would prohibit cities from filing for bankruptcy as means of abrogating union contracts.

The business climate in California is so bad that seven California metro areas were among the top 15 national leaders in commercial bankruptcy filings in 2009. California also had twice as many personal bankruptcies as any other state in 2009 when it ranked 11th in bankruptcies per capita. It is no coincidence that business friendly Texas, the world's, 12 largest economy created 70% of the new jobs created since 2008. Texas also gained 848,000 new residents in the past decade while California lost 1.5 million residents. People and companies are voting with their feet to escape the fiscal lunacy in California.

Sadly, Socialist President Obama wants to turn the United States into bankrupt California, or Greece by bringing European style Socialism to the US. And, now American taxpayers will be bailing out Greece through the International Monetary Fund. We definately have to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives committed to free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, real energy independence and health care reform, a strong national defense including the fight against Terrorism, term limits, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives committed to the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses or the Courts. To prevent the bankruptcy of the US, we must take back our country. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Another Socialist Bites The Dust & Freddie Mac

Socialist Congressman David Obey of Wisconsin has announced that he will not seek re-election after 40 years in office. Obey was about as left wing as any member of Congress. Obey served as the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, a powerful position. Conservatives should be very happy that another Socialist will be gone and that his open seat represents an opportunity for a Republican win in November. These Socialists see the tidal wave coming and rather than face the voters, they are running away from Obama like rats on a sinking ship. Pardon the analogy; but it is fun.

On another note Freddie Mac, one of the nation's largest mortgage holders now owned by the Federal Government has asked for an additional $10.6 billion bail out just to cover losses in the 1st quarter of 2010. So far Freddie has been given $61.3 Billion tax payer dollars and there is no end in sight. In fact, it is estimated that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the other large government owned mortgage holder are sitting on 2,000,000 homes facing foreclosure. Freddie and Fannie are holding off on these foreclosures for fear of flooding the market in an attempt to bolster the housing market.

There is a connection between Socialist Congressman David Obey and Freddie and Fannie and the financial collapse of the mortgage industry. It was Congressmen like Obey that insisted that mortgage companies lend to buyers who did not qualify for mortgages under normal terms and conditions. This led to sub prime mortgages that were then packaged by Wall Street to secure the monies to fund these mortgages. This is one big vicious circle. Socialists like Obey, Obama, Frank, and Schumer screamed at mortgage companies calling them racist and discriminatory during the Clinton Administration for "red lining", which was basically identifying borrowers and areas that were too risky for loans. Eventually, mortgage companies were beaten into submission by these Socialists and the money flowed. We know the end of this story.

We must elect Conservatives in 2010 and 2012 who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, term limits, a strong national defense, real energy independence and health care reform, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives who support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses, or the Courts. We have to stop the bail outs and the reckless deficit spending. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Time For Terrorist Profiling - Can Obama Add 2 + 2

There is frequently talk about racial profiling in the US whenever someone is singled out for some sort of law enforcement because of their race. Racial profiling is wrong if in fact it is an act of discrimination against anyone. However, it is time for Terrorist Profiling. Faisal Shahzad, who admittedly attempted to explode a car bomb in Times Square in New York City that would have killed thousands, was born in Pakistan and became a naturalized US citizen. There is nothing odd in that except for the fact that Shahzad apparently made many trips back to Pakistan and spent the last five months in Pakistan, a Terrorist haven. The Taliban in Pakistan is taking credit for this recent attempted bombing; well surprise, surprise.

Can anyone in the White House add 2 + 2 to see the smoking gun? If it is determined that Shahzad has conspired with foreign Terrorist to attack the United States, he should be tried for Treason and given the death penalty. Senator Joe Leiberman of Connecticut, Democrat/Independent, is also proposing a new law which would strip Americans of their citizenship, who conspire with Terrorists against our country. Leiberman has it right.

The federal government, under the direction of Socialist President Obama, is asleep at the wheel. Let's face it. There is a Terrorist profile. Terrorists tend to be young, Islamic Extremist men who come from Muslim countries. Well dah! Obviously not all young Islamic men are Terrorists; however, it is critical that federal law enforcement agencies focus on this population to identify those that are a threat to our nation. Obama and the left wing media would call this racial profiling when in fact it is legitimate Terrorist Profiling.

Our government needs to get serious about protecting our country. This will not happen as long as Obama is President of the United States because Obama does not properly see the threat. When we hear the President, or Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano speak of a Terrorist attack as a "one off" act of Terrorism, it should be obvious that the Obama Administration just does not get it. None of these Terrorist actions are isolated incidents. They are all connected to Al Queda, the Taliban, or Iran. These Islamic Extremists would detonate nuclear, or biological weapons in American cities if they had them. Obviously, we must do whatever is necessary to prevent that from happening.

As such, the FBI or CIA needs to implement Terrorist Profiling to identify persons of interests and put more on the NO FLY list any time activities seem to suggest ties to Terrorists. Yes, some may suffer from this action and be denied Visas to enter the United States; but it is much better to be safe than sorry. Iran is developing nuclear weapons and Iran supports Terrorists around the world. Again, well dah! It is time for President Obama to put 2 + 2 together and see the potential connection between Terrorists around the world. This is a global struggle that is not going away any time soon. How many more Americans and others need to die before Obama gets it?

We need to take back our country in 2010 and 2012 by electing Conservatives who support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget, a strong national defense, term limits, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values. Most important, we must elect Conservatives that support the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers, not as contrived by our current Socialist President, former Presidents, Congresses or the Courts. And, we must elect a President that understands the threat that Terrorism poses to our nation. We can do it. We must do it for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
