The National Debt Ceiling - Constitutional Crisis Coming

If Congress does not act to do so by August 2, Socialist President Obama is preparing to raise the National Debt Ceiling from $14.3 trillion to an unlimited amount by unilateral Executive Order.  Even though the Debt Ceiling has been raised by Congress 78 times since 1960 to accommodate the borrowing and deficit spending that has resulted in our huge National Debt, Obama is prepared to act on a left wing interpretation of the Constitution, that would allow him alone to raise the National Debt Ceiling, ignoring the Congress altogether.  Just wait and see. 

If that happens, it will cause a Constitutional Crisis.   No doubt there will be Conservative Republican members in the House of Representatives that will initiate impeachment proceeding as well they should.   This dangerous precedent is not like Clinton's sexual peccadilloes, or  Nixon's Watergate Scandal; but rather the assumption of dictatorial powers by the President of the United States.   If Obama orders the Secretary of the Treasury to continuing borrowing money to fund all of Obama's Socialist Schemes, that are bankrupting our country, without the approval of Congress, it most certainly would be an impeachable offense.

Socialists are simply desperate to continue funding worthless agencies, commissions and departments of the federal government to benefit their union supporters, along with maintaining all sorts of bail outs and programs to take care of their PEEP's,  favored industries, those on the dole and the 50% of Americans that pay no income taxes as all.  As such, Obama and his Socialist pals in Congress will do anything to stop the cuts that are needed to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.   In fact, it now very clear that Obama intentionally seeks the bankruptcy of the United States to "transform" our country into a Socialist nation.   Obama's actions are so irresponsible that what other possible explanation can there be for Obama's reckless spending, that if allowed to continue, will result in adding another $12 TRILLION to the National Debt in the next 10 years.  

Socialist President Obama really is a clear and present danger to our nation as bad as any enemy in the history of the United States.  Obama seeks to divide our nation pitting Makers against Takers in order to stay in power.   And, as Lincoln once said, "a nation divided against itself cannot stand".   If we don't get our fiscal house in order, we will see civil strife on our streets, like what is happening in Greece and our democracy will not survive.   WE THE PEOPLE cannot allow that to happen.  

Instead, we must take back our country by sweeping Obama and his Socialists pals out of office in 2012 and 2014.   We must elect rock solid, common sense 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 have to take back our county in 2012 by making Obama, the job killer, a one term President.   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.  In the mean time, if Obama moves to increase the Debt Ceiling unilaterally, we must be prepared to raise holy hell and demand his impeachment to protect our nation.            

Obama - Just More Class Warfare Baloney

In attempting to deal with raising the National Debt Ceiling to allow the Socialists to borrow and spend trillions more that is bankrupting our country, Socialist President Obama once again is playing the class warfare card.   Frankly, it is getting really old.  The Socialists have been doing it for 100 years.  The Socialist always want to raise taxes on the Makers to give to the Takers; their PEEP's, those on the dole, the 50% of Americans that pay no income taxes at all and public employee union members.   This is all about redistribution of income in the name of "Social Justice".  The fact is that if the Socialists confiscated 100% of the assets of the "rich" (which they would love to do) defined by them as those making $250,000 or more,  it would be impossible to pay off the current $14 trillion National Debt, or the likely $12 trillion that will be added to the Debt in the next ten years if Obama gets his way. 

Instead of raising taxes, always the Socialist's Scheme, which will retard economic growth and kill more jobs, for starters, we need to eliminate 20% of the 1,300 federal agencies, commissions and departments, or about 260 of them.   We can start with the Department of Education and the EPA.  Believe me, we won't even know they are gone because they are worthless.  In doing so, we should lay off 20% of the 2.65 million federal civilian employees.   At about $106,000 per employee, the savings to the government would be $561,800,000,000, or about $561.8 billion a year.  Over ten years, the savings would be $5.618 trillion, and really even more in inflated dollars, very near the $6 trillion in savings in the Ryan Budget passed by the House of Representatives and that is without touching Entitlements at all.

Next, let's eliminate 20% of the regulations that are job killers.  If we do that in addition to cutting corporate income tax rates from the current 35%, the second highest in the world, to 20%,  American companies will bring jobs back to the United States.   The words Made in America will again be stamped on many products as manufacturing comes home.  The US economy will boom and we will see GDP grow from the current 1.8% to 5% or more each year. 

To finish the job, we need a 50 year energy plan that actually makes energy less expensive, rather than more expensive as is happening under Obama, which includes more oil drilling, development of oil shale, natural gas, nuclear and renewables.   If we develop energy sources in the US to make our country energy independent, it will create millions of jobs.

While Entitlements like Medicare and Social Security should be reformed anyway to give younger people more choices,  if the all the things I describe were to happen, we would see GDP growth of 5 - 8% a year.   This would create a full employment economy and the government would be brimming with new tax revenues with the current tax rates.   In fact, tax rates could be cut further because the government would have more than enough money to fund Entitlements, education, medical care and infrastructure.  Of course, we would need a Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment to prevent corrupt politicians from spending even more than the windfall that would come from significant economic growth.   If we do the things mentioned, there would be more than enough money to fund all valuable government functions, reasonable Entitlements and the federal government could pay off the National Debt to get our country back on track.   

None of this will happen as long as President Obama and his Socialists pals are in office.   They don't want a full employment economy because their PEEP's would be at work in the private sector rather than on the dole, or the government's union payroll.   Socialists win elections by keeping people dependent on government.   As such, we have to take back our country by sweeping these Socialists, that are destroying and bankrupting our country, out of office.   Most important, we must make Socialist President Obama a one term President in 2012 because he is a clear and present danger our nation.  We must elect rock solid, common sense Conservatives to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.   We can do it.   We must do it to protect the interests of all Americans.

The Federal Budget - Cut, Cap & Balance

Conservative Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina is pushing the notion to Cut and Cap federal spending, along with a Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment, as conditions to raise the National Debt Ceiling from the current $14.3 trillion to probably $16 trillion or more.   DeMint knows very well that if the Debt Ceiling is raised without these conditions that politicians of both political parties will just go on borrowing and implementing the deficit spending that is bankrupting our country.  That is certainly true regarding Socialist President Obama's plans to increase the National Debt by another $12 trillion in the next ten years, which is insane, assuming the Markets even allow it to occur.

The facts are clear.   The federal government currently employs about 2.65 million civilian employees, including Post Office workers, making the federal government the largest employer in the country.  Wal Mart, whose gross revenues are bigger than the GDP of 18 countries, is the second largest employer with about 2.1 million employees.  Give or take a few hundred thousand, the number of civilian federal employees has been constant for years under both Republican and Socialist Presidents.  Of course, the Socialists argue that this number of employees has not increased much even though the population has grown to about 310 million people.    The only problem with that argument is a little thing called automation and the computer, which allows the same amount of work to be done with fewer employees, even if they are less productive.   

The federal government maintains over 1,300 departments, agencies and commissions, across the three branches of government, employing these 2.65 million civilian employees, touching virtually every aspect of personal and business life.   When Washington was President, we had four cabinet departments.  Today, there are 15 cabinet departments with overlapping responsibilities.  Federal government employees average total compensation and benefits of $106,871 compared to an average of $53,288 in the private sector thanks to union collective bargaining that is bankrupting our country.  

And, everyone knows that government employees are not nearly as productive as private sector employees, as a result of union rules and since it is almost impossible to fire a government employee.  In fact, it probably takes two government employees to produce the work of one private sector employee.   So whenever Socialists refer to FAT CATS in business, all should know that they are really talking about government union employees, that make far more money than is typical in the private sector, for like work.  

Today, under Obama, the federal government consumes about 25% of GDP, the highest since World War II.   When local and state employees are added in, that number grows to 40% of GDP as another 15,000,000 or more local and state workers are added to the mix.  To put this in perspective, about 18,000,000 of the 150,000,000 working Americans, or about 12%, are local, state or federal government employees.  In their wildest dreams, our Founding Fathers could never have imagined a government apparatus this big, or this intrusive into every aspect of daily life.   And, the reality is that aside from the assault on our freedom that is the end result of all this government intrusion, the 50% of us that pay all the taxes in the United States, simply cannot support all of this any longer.   The balloon has burst.  WE THE PEOPLE are standing up to say NO MORE!

It is time to get rid of many of those 1,300 federal government agencies, commissions and departments and in doing so to get the federal government back to no more than 15 - 18% of GDP.   That means laying off lots of federal government employees.   And by the way, the same thing needs to happen at the local and state levels.   There is so much waste, fraud and corruption in government that is bankrupting our country that we can tolerate it no longer.     

As such, as Republicans in particular consider raising the Debt Ceiling, the notion of Cut, Cap and a Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment must be the conditions for a Yes vote.   To do otherwise would be completely irresponsible and most likely will result in primary challenges.  In fact, any Republican that fails to sign the Cut, Cap and Balance Pledge should not be elected, or re-elected to office.   Jon Huntsman, Republican candidate for the  Presidency has refused to sign the pledge and as such, Huntsman should not be the Republican nominee.  We must get serious about ending the deficit spending that is bankrupting our country.  Voting to increase the Debt Ceiling, without these conditions, would just be more of the same and is therefore unacceptable.

Environmental Protection Agency Sends $100 Million Overseas

The Environmental Protection Agency has provided a $100 million in grants to foreign countries in the last decade, $29 million of which was directed by Socialist President Obama since 2009 alone.  Of course, $100 million in Washington terms is chump change; but still our National Debt has ballooned to more than $14 trillion,  we just can't afford to be funding environmental wacko projects overseas.  The best part of this deal is that we gave China $718,000 to deal with their air pollution problem.   Russia got $7.6 million.   Ethiopia was given $191,638, that no doubt went into politicians pockets there, to study "clean cooking technology".   The Chinese hold about a trillion dollars of our National Debt.   So the federal government borrowed money from China, requiring interest and eventual repayment, at the same time we are giving them an EPA grant of $718,000.   This is insane. 

What is wrong with this picture?   The President and his Socialists pals in Congress continue to call for higher taxes on the "rich" so that they can pay their "fair share" to continue this wasteful deficit spending.   The top 10% of income earners already pay 70% of all taxes in this country.  51% of Americans pay no income taxes at all.  While negotiations are going on to raise the National Debt ceiling several trillion dollars higher,  there are billions, if not trillions of dollars in cuts needed to balance the federal budget and finally end the deficit spending that is bankrupting our country.   Both Republicans and Socialists are just tinkering around the edges related to spending cuts.   

Republican Congressman Paul Ryan has called for $6 trillion in cuts over the next ten years.   That will still mean another $5 trillion in deficit spending, borrowed from the Chinese and others that will be added to the current $14 trillion National Debt.   If Obama and the Socialist in Congress get their way, instead of adding $5 trillion to the National Debt in ten years, which is the Ryan Plan, they will add $12 trillion to the National Debt.   Of course, all of this is folly because the Markets will never tolerate either debt level.     

The $100 million wasted by the Environmental Protection Agency in overseas grants is symthomatic of a much bigger problem.  Billions of dollars are wasted each year on redundant programs, agencies, commissions and cabinet departments and it is at all levels of government.   No one in government, from either political party, ever talks about complete elimination of any government function.  It is always a discussion about the level of growth that will be permitted when in fact, many of these programs, agencies, commissions and cabinet departments should be gone with the wind and eliminated altogether as the only way to balance the federal budget.    

It is easy to get discouraged by all of this; but we can't give up.   WE THE PEOPLE must take back our country.   We must enact various Constitutional Amendments to get our country back on track.  Clearly, the Constitution must be amended to require a balanced budget, Congressional term limits, a clear definition of citizenship and additional checks and balances on federal spending.   Politicians will never make this happen themselves because it will reduce their power and ability to continue feeding at the trough.  

WE THE PEOPLE must take back some of the powers we have delegated to our elected representatives because they have proven over and over again that they cannot be trusted to protect the interests of the American people.  We must take back our country by convening a Constitutional Convention.   We can do it.   We must do it to prevent the bankruptcy of our country and to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Support Courageous Conservative Republican Governors

It is critical that we support courageous Conservative Republican Governors Rick Scott of Florida, Chris Christie of New Jersey,  Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Mitch Daniels of Indiana and Rick Perry of Texas.  These Governors are attempting to roll back 100 years of Socialism in their states because they cannot print money and they must balance their state budgets.   For once, Governors are saying NO to the public employee unions in an attempt to roll back collective bargaining.   These Governors are also saying NO to trial lawyers and frivolous litigation that is driving business and jobs out of the United States. 

All of these Governors support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation and a balanced budget.   These Conservative Governors have had to deal with huge public employee unions, feeding at the trough, that are bankrupting their states.  The end result is that any job growth that is happening in the United States is primarily happening in these states because Scott,  Christie, Walker, Daniels and Perry are making the tough decisions needed to restore economic growth and jobs in their states.  Naturally,  these Conservative Republican Governors are all under attack by Socialists, the left wing lame stream media, the big public employee unions, those on the dole and the 50% of Americans that are otherwise Takers that will say or do anything to continue gorging on taxpayer monies. 

If we don't act to support these courageous Governors, those living off the fat of land, will take down these Governors.  So get your check books out and send these Governors some campaign contributions.   Remember, all elections are national.   It does not matter what state you happen to live in.   We have to support the Good Guys to prevent the Bad guys from bankrupting our country.  There should be no doubt that there is good and evil in the world.   Freedom is precious.   Our brave soldiers are fighting to protect our freedom around the world.   The least we can do is support these courageous Conservative Republicans, where ever they may be, that represent our ideals in helping us take back our country. 

Jon Huntsman - The Real Story

Obamanistas fear former Governor Jon Huntsman of Utah the most not because he is eminantly more qualified to be the President of the United States than Barack Obama; but because his family is worth Billions of dollars, which would allow them to fully fund a Presidential race.   While Obama plans to raise a Billion dollars to spread his re-election propaganda, the Huntsman family is worth $15 Billion.  As such, if Jon Huntsman Sr. chooses to start writing checks, which is probable, 51 year old Jon Jr. will have the money he needs to beat Obama; particularly since all current economic indicators in the US are so dismal. 

As such,  Obama and the lame stream media are busy gathering opposition research to throw at Huntsman.   Obama does not want to face Huntsman in 2012; that's for sure.   So before you see it on TV or the Internet, the truth about Huntsman is as follows:   Huntsman spent about 18 years working in the family business, chemical company, Huntsman Corporation.   Huntsman Corporation went public in 2005; though the family still owns 18.5% of the company's stock.   This is the company that invented the Styrofoam egg carton along with all kinds of Styrofoam packaging.  In addition to working in senior management positions for Huntsman Corporation, Jon Jr. has served four Presidents as Staff Assistant for Reagan, Ambassador to Singapore for Bush I and Deputy Trade Representative for Bush II.   Obama appointed Jon Jr. to serve as Ambassador to China.   There is no doubt that Jon Senior's political contributions played a big role in getting Jon Jr. these positions, at least related to appointments by Republican Presidents.  

Jon Huntsman Jr. was also elected twice to serve as Governor of Utah; though he did not complete his second term as a result of Obama's appointment to serve as Ambassador to China.   That appointment may have happened for two reasons; first to get Huntsman out of the way in China presumably so he would not challenge Obama for the Presidency and second because Huntsman speaks Mandarin Chinese and knows the country well as a result of his business dealings in China. 

Jon Huntsman Jr. is a well educated, pro-life, pro-gun, fiscal Conservative, thought to be moderate on other social issues, who did a reasonably good job while serving as Governor of Utah.  During his time as Governor, employment in the state grew by 5.9%.   Married with 7 children, at least as far as anyone knows, there really isn't much dirt on Huntsman except that Obamanistas will use his family business dealings as a big negative.  Though Jon Jr. has not been involved in running Huntsman Corporation since 2001, the company that does about $9.25 Billion in annual revenues has 12,000 employees, only 2,174 of which are in the United States.   All other employees work overseas including 1,151 employees in China.   Huntsman Corporation actually employs more employees in China and India together than in North America.  

As such, Obamanistas and the lame stream media will say that Huntsman knows how to create jobs all right; just not in the United States.   The reality is that Huntsman Corporation is a thriving global company, which logically would have employees overseas; but that is not the story they will tell.   The Socialists will paint Huntsman as a rich, greedy Capitalist, out of touch with the American people, even though his family is giving Billions of dollars to charity.  In fact, Jon Sr. has stated many times that his goal is to die poor as he gives away the family fortune. 

Socialist President Obama is a class warfare politician that can only win re-election by dividing our nation.  Obama is counting on the 51% of Americans that pay no federal income taxes at all, those on the dole including his PEEP's and those big companies getting corporate welfare and bail outs and big unions to win re-election.   It is no coincidence that Obama just held a $36,000 a plate dinner for Wall Street Fat Cats in New York City.   Yet, Obama will position himself as a "man of the people" while positioning Huntsman as a global Fat Cat.   Go figure.

The reality is that Huntsman and all Republicans running for the Presidency are eminantly more qualified to be President of the United States than Barack Obama.   It is too early to tell which Republican will challenge Obama; but one thing is for sure.   The election of 2012 is likely to be the dirtiest in American history because Socialists will do anything and say anything to stay in power.   As such, Conservatives must use the Internet and grass roots campaigning to get the truth out. 

The National Freedom Forum and this Blogger will post every day to spread the truth.   Fortunately, I have readers in just about all states and 25 foreign countries that hopefully will copy my posting on to friends and neighbors encouraging them to do the same.  In doing so, we can do out part 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 for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

The Truth About The National Debt Ceiling

Socialist President Obama and his pals in Congress want to raise the $14.3 Trillion Debt Ceiling so that they can continue to borrow and spend trillions more on their PEEP's, the 51% of Americans that pay no income taxes at all, those on the dole and public employee union government workers.   If the Socialists in Washington had their way, they would raise the Debt Ceiling by trillions of dollars without any cut in spending; but that is not going to happen now that Republicans control the House of Representatives.  The fact is that there really is no reason to raise the Debt Ceiling at all.   The federal government takes in about $200 Billion in revenues every month.   The interest on the current National Debt of $14.3 Trillion is about $20 Billion a month.   If there is a prioritization of federal expenditures, the money is there to pay the interest on the Debt.  This is no different than managing your household income.   The interest on the National Debt is the nation's mortgage payment and it should be paid before all other expenses.   The problem is not so much the official National Debt; but rather the $62 trillion of unfunded liablity for Social Security, Medicare and government pensions that will explode on our nation like a nuclear weapon in the next 10 - 30 years. 

In any case, to deal with the official National Debt,  many government programs, agencies and cabinet posts like the totally redundant and unnecessary Department of Education would have to be eliminated.   Oh my God, what horror!!   The very notion that government programs, agencies and cabinet posts would be eliminated altogether is an impossible remedy to Socialists committed to even bigger government; but that is exactly what needs to happen to end the Trillions in deficit spending.   And then of course, entitlements must be addressed to deal with that $62 trillion of unfunded liability.  There is no lock box.  Our monthly contributions have all been stolen since 1965.  The money is gone with the wind.   The Socialists and even many Republicans won't vote to deal with these deficits because they are addicted to government spending, just like addicts on crack and they use our money to stay in power.

About the best we will see happen, which is a start, if it is real, is that the Debt Ceiling will be raised in accordance with supposed cuts in spending.   So Socialists will eventually agree to about two Trillion dollars in cuts to raise the Debt Ceiling by two Trillion dollars.   Not sure what that will achieve since it will allow Obama to borrow and spend another two Trillion dollars in the next year or two, but at least there might actually be a cut in spending.   However, as a condition for the deal Republicans must NOT agree to any new taxes and the Congress must enact a Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment to get our country back on track and prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.  

Any Republican that votes for higher taxes and or does not hold the line related to these conditions is a goner.  Those Republicans that violate these principles will be deemed to be RINO's and they will be challenged in their state primaries by Tea Party Candidates.  WE THE PEOPLE are serious about taking back our country.   We recognize that to do it, we must sweep these Socialists, including President Obama and RINO's out of office in 2012 and 2014.   Instead, we must work to elect rock solid, common sense 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.  

President Obama and his Socialist pals are a clear and present danger to our nation.   These Socialists are responsible for 22 million Americans unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work, or for those that have just given up looking for work.   Obama and his pals are job killers.  We have to push these Socialists out of office to take back our country.  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.   Don't believe what you are hearing from the Socialists about the National Debt Ceiling.   It is all just spin.

Obama Desperate - Releases 30 Million Barrels Of Oil

Socialist President Obama, who continues to fall in the polls, is so desperate that he has decided to release 30 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try to bring down oil prices.  The US Oil Reserve was created in 1973-74 after Arab countries cut way back on oil production causing miserable gas lines in the US; the Carter years.   This Reserve is supposed to be for global emergencies, not to be used for political expediency, as is the case now.  Obama acted to replace oil that is not in production because of the war in Libya, which oh by the way Obama helped cause.  Obama has now spent more than one billion dollars on the war in Libya, even though the United States has no vital interest at stake.  Oh well, it is only our hard earned money.   Easy come, easy go for Obama.  In any case, 30 million barrels of oil on the world stage is a literal drop in the bucket and will do little to impact long term oil prices; but it does make Obama look like he is doing something to take care of his PEEP's.  

To really impact the price of oil, what we need to see is a 50 year comprehensive Energy Plan designed to make the US energy independent.   And, that plan must include more drilling for oil and oil shale in the US, clean coal, natural gas, nuclear development and renewals that are not yet feasible; but that Plan will not happen as long as Obama and his environmental wacko friends control the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency.  If fact, the EPA, Obama's Gestapo, is systematically attempting to shut down carbon based energy sources even though there is no feasible replacement.   We need cheap energy to grow our economy and create jobs; but instead Obama and his pals are doing everything they can to raise the cost of energy.  We see the end result of their handiwork.

22 million Americans are either unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work, or they have completely given up looking for work thanks to Obama and his pals.  But not to worry because 43 million Americans are currently on food stamps in accordance with Obama's Plan to keep his PEEP's dependent on government.   Socialists are after all poverty pimps that live off the misery of the miserable.  And, tax and spend Socialists will do everything they can to grow government to support their public employee union pals.  The problem is that their Socialist Schemes are bankrupting our country; but they could care less.   Their answer is always just more taxes on the Makers to give to the Takers.

President Obama is releasing oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve because his political consultants are telling him that his days in office are numbered.  No President has been re-elected with unemployment above 8%, except Socialist President Franklin Roosevelt; but that was before the Internet, Blogger's spreading the truth and Fox News.   Today, the American people are getting the whole story.   Since cards talk and numbers don't lie, Obama and the lame stream media just can't spin the news any more.  

We see the trillions in deficit spending, the high unemployment rate, the low growth rate, the high gas and food prices and the highest foreclosure rate in American history.   Obama is a smooth talker; but he is really just a Socialist ideologue and a man in an empty suit who does not have the experience to be President of the United States.   To be candid, Obama does not have the experience to be a senior manager in a small company; let alone the CEO of our country.   This is the reason Obama has been a complete failure as President. 

We can only count the days until November, 2012 when we can send Socialist President Obama and more of his pals in Congress into early retirement.  We must take back our country to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States by making Obama a one term President.   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.

Pelosi - Enact ObamaCare To Know What Is In It

In her infamous statement, then Socialist Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco told the American people that the Congress needed to enact ObamaCare to know what is in it.  The fact is that many Socialists in Congress that voted for ObamaCare never read the 2,700 page document.   Now for the surprises.   It turns out that as many as 3,000,000 Middle Class Americans will end up on Medicaid as a result of ObamaCare.   This will happen because it is estimated that as many as 30% of companies that provide medical insurance now for their employees will instead opt to pay the $2,000 fine for each employee rather than continue significantly more costly health benefits.   If that happens, there will be many Middle Class Americans that make too much money to receive government subsidies to help with premiums.   They simply will not be able to pay the $15,000 - $20,000 to insure the typical family of four.   And, if these Americans end up on Medicaid, it believed that it will cost federal and state governments as much as $450 Billion over ten years.   Of course, this was never figured into the total cost of ObamaCare, which was all predicated on smoke and mirrors. 

ObamaCare is a crime against the American people committed by Socialist President Obama and his pals in Congress.  Obama stole $500 Billion from Medicare to fund ObamaCare to cover 30 million of his younger PEEP's, including illegal aliens that are on Medicaid.  In many ways, ObamaCare was funded, at least on paper, on the backs of Senior Citizens that will face reduced medical benefits, rationing, higher Medicare Premiums, the need for Medigap insurance and eventually Death Panels as a result of ObamaCare.   All of this is disgraceful.

The elections of 2012 and 2014 are as much about the repeal of ObamaCare as anything else.   To make it happen, we must sweep these Socialists, including President Obama out of office.   We must elect rock solid, common sense Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulation, term limits, a balanced budget, 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. 

We must take our country back in 2012 and 2014.   We must repeal ObamaCare.   We can do it.  We must do it prevent the bankruptcy of the United States and to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.   It would be nice if we could send space cadet, Nancy Pelosi into retirement as well.

Huntsman & Romney - The RINO Twins

Jon Huntsman, the former Governor of Utah and until recently Obama's Ambassador to China has announced that he is seeking the Republican nomination for President.   The question is why?   The reality is that Jon Huntsman and Mitt Romney are near clones of each other.  In fact, both are Mormons and  third cousins.  Let's compare. Huntsman and Romney have both been Governors; though Huntsman has a more conservative fiscal record.   Huntsman has more government experience than Romney since he has held various posts appointed by Republican Presidents and Socialist President Obama.   Romney only spent one term in office as Governor of Massachusetts.  Perhaps that makes Huntsman more of an establishment Republican; though Romney has the exact same roots since his father was the CEO of American Motors and the Republican Governor of Michigan years ago. 

Huntsman is viewed as a "Moderate" Republican.   Romney is just as Moderate; but became a convenient Conservative when he began his quest for the Presidency.   In that sense, Romney is a flip flopper that cannot be trusted.  One thing is sure, though this Blogger does not believe that Romney or Huntsman is tough enough to do what is necessary to get our country back on track, either of them is eminently more qualified to be the President of the United States that Obama.  In fact, Obama is not even qualified to manage a corner grocery store; hence the reason he has been such a failure. 

In any case, both Romney and Huntsman come from wealthy families; though Huntsman's father Jon Sr. is a billionaire, which means that Jon Jr. is much richer than Romney.  That is probably the reason that Romney had to work in business to add to his wealth.   Romney was a successful Venture Capitalist as the CEO of Bain Capital.  Jon Huntsman had no need to work in business, since he will inherent a huge fortune in due time.   It must be said, however, that his father Jon Sr. intends to die poor giving his money away to charities, presumably after providing for his 9 sons and daughters including Jon Jr.   Both Romney and Huntsman have beautiful wives of many years and lots of children as is the Mormon tradition. 

Most important, Jon Huntsman and Mitt Romney are establishment Republicans, which means they are most likely RINO's that will reach across the aisle and compromise with Socialists.  That is their mutual history and tradition.  We know the end of this story and it is leading to the bankruptcy of the United States.  If there are any Moderates left in the Republican Party that will vote in the primaries, it would seem that Huntsman and Romney will split that vote.   Romney is not participating in the Iowa Caucus because he knows he would lose in Iowa, the same as occurred in 2007.   Romney hopes to win in New Hampshire, since his family "summers" there; but that is not certain.   Both Romney and Huntsman will lose in South Carolina.  If either is going to emerge from the pack, at the expense of the other, it must be in Florida, the third early primary.

This Blogger does not believe that either Romney or Huntsman will be the Republican nominee for President of the United States if Governor Rick Perry of Texas enters the race, which is probable.  Perry is a true Conservative that can be trusted to help roll back 100 years of Socialism.   The same cannot be said for Romney or Huntsman.   Remember RomneyCare.  And, Huntsman is a global warming guy so it is uncertain if Huntsman will pursue a strategy to make our country energy independent.   I doubt it. 

Rick Perry has years of successful government and military experience; but is completely self made.  Rick Perry knows what is is to struggle.   Perry's parents were Texas tenant farmers.  As such, Perry has dirt under his finger nails. Rick Perry grew up in a home without running water or electricity until he was 9 years old.  Both Huntsman and Romney were born with silver spoons in their mouths.  They are both establishment country club Republicans that have never struggled in their lives.  Though this Blogger belongs to a laid back country club out west, mostly composed of self made people, the last thing we need now is a high brow, country club RINO as the Republican nominee for the Presidency.   Instead, we need Rick Perry who can win in states like Missouri, Ohio, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Florida where the national election will be decided by attracting all Republicans and Reagan Democrats and Independents.  

As Ronald Reagan once said, we need bold not pastel colors in the Republican Party.  Romney and Huntsman are powder blue and pink.  Rick Perry is RED, WHITE and BLUE and will be a stark contrast to Socialist President Obama, which is exactly what is needed to take back our country in 2012 and 2014.   Rick Perry is both an economic and social Conservative that can be trusted.  As such, the RINO Twins, Huntsman and Romney need not apply.

The Financial Crisis - Is Anyone Going To Jail

The financial crisis that occurred in 2008-09 has resulted in 22 million Americans either unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work, or who have just given up looking for work altogether.   Millions have lost their homes to foreclosure and/or they are upside down on their mortgages wiping out whatever equity they may have had.  Many small businesses have filed bankruptcy.  What many may not know is that the world was within hours of complete financial collapse in September and October of 2008.   If the Bush team had not made the right decisions during those fateful days, bailing out various financial institutions, the global financial system would have collapsed.   As it was, the stock market dropped 40% or more of its value in those years.  

In contrast to General Motors, all the banks given bail outs monies paid back those loans with interest.   Today, all the major banks are making billions of dollars in profits because they can borrow from the Federal Reserve for practically nothing and make credit card loans at 12 - 18%.   As a capitalist, this Blogger is not offended by profitability, or even CEO pay that may be hard to justify particularly for characters like Jeff Immelt of GE, who has destroyed that company's stock value.  

What is offensive is that many Americans have suffered greatly because of the financial crisis.   Yet the FAT CATS, including many politicians in both political parties in Washington that were on the take getting huge campaign contributions from financial institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which led to a failure to properly regulate these companies, in addition to many east coast brainiacs that worked at the major banks and other financial institutions that made hundred of millions of dollars from all their fancy financial dealings were not prosecuted for their shenanigans.   So how come none of these characters are in JAIL for their misdeeds?

Socialists like Barney Frank, Chuckie Schummer, Chris Dodd and Yes Barack Obama, all on the take from Freddie and Fannie, insisted that their PEEP's that did not have the credit scores to qualify for mortgages be given mortgages.   It is these sub prime mortgages that were at the foundation of the financial crisis.   Why aren't these characters in jail rather than in Congress, or the White House. 

We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent another financial crisis.   What occurred in 2008 and 2009 was the result of corrupt politicians and FAT CATS in business feeding at the trough, which is the best argument for Term Limits.   Members of Congress should be limited to no more than two Senate terms, or 6 House terms for a total of 12 years to at least limit the corruption that occurs now.   Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.   The financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 is as much the result of corruption as anything else.   It is just too bad that so many Americans are suffering while the culprits that caused the crisis in the first place have gotten off scott free and are still feeding at the trough.

Socialism, Communism & Fascism - Many Things In Common

Socialism, Communism and Fascism have many things in common.   Whether Socialist, Communist or Fascist leaders come to power by election, or seizing power,  they all speak in terms of collective good over individual freedom.   Throughout history, Socialist, Communist and Fascist leaders have jailed, or murdered their opposition to silence critics.   They all did it in the name of presumed collective good; though rarely did any good come of it, only repression, misery and poverty.   Socialists, Communists and Fascists have all implemented a centralized command economy where the "state" dictates the focus and means of production; rather than a free market economy allowing supply and demand to determine those decisions and outcomes.   The end result of Socialist, Communist, or Fascist tampering with the economy has always been slower growth and higher unemployment than would otherwise be the case. 

Ironically, the very "people" that Socialists, Communists and Fascists claim to represent end up poorer in those societies than would be true under a capitalist model.   Many argue that China, a Communist country, implements state capitalism, or really a unique model that has caused remarkable growth. While it is true that the Chinese government is rich,  the majority of the Chinese people live in poverty, 62 years after the Chinese Communist took control.   Their are a small number of cities in China and perhaps 10% of the population that are as well off as Westerners; but the vast majority of people in China live in a third world country.  Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, primarily populated by Chinese people living in a western capitalist society, demonstrate that had China become a truly capitalist country 62 years ago, given the Chinese orientation toward hard work, it is very likely that there would be a huge middle class in China today, instead of most people living in poverty.

All that said, Socialist President Obama has stated many times that he wants to "transform" America, presumably into a European style Socialist country predicated on even greater redistribution of income.   ObamaCare is really about redistribution of income, not health care.  Though about 50% of Americans already pay more than 40% of their hard earned income in local, state and federal taxes, fees, licenses etc, Obama wants to take even more to support his PEEP's, the other 50% that pay no income taxes at all and in one way or another live on the dole, or that are public employees receiving higher compensation and benefits than are typical in the private sector.  In other words, Obama wants to take from the Makers in Society and give even more to the Takers in the name of "social justice".   

In addition, like all Socialists, Obama believes in a command economy rather than free market capitalism.   Obama's whole notion of a "green" economy predicated on subsidies for technologies that are not feasible today and preventing the production of all carbon based fuels to make them more expensive is nothing more than an attempt by government to control all energy sources in the United States.   This is already leading to slow economic growth, higher unemployment, inflation and a lower standard of living for the American people.  

Further, Obama has grown the federal government to 25% of GDP.   When combined with local and state government, total government expenditures represent an unprecedented 40% of GDP.   These are all union public employees feeding at the trough in business to stifle the growth of the private sector through higher taxes and more regulations.  Obama is also using Executive Orders, through this Gestapo agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Labor Relations Board to kill jobs in the private sector. 

Actions speak much louder than words.   President Obama is a SOCIALIST.   The President can talk about the need to create jobs in the private sector; but his actions have all resulted in killing jobs in the private sector.   A few years after Obama was elected President, we now have 22 million Americans either unemployed, under unemployed working part time that want full time work, or who have just given up looking for work.   And, that has occurred after Obama and his pals in Congress borrowed more than a trillion dollars to fund Obama's SwindleUS Plans I, II and III that were supposed to grow "shovel ready" jobs.   The only thing that SwindleUS money did was fund more government jobs designed to shrink the private sector.   Well, Mr. President, your Socialist Scheme worked.  Cards talk and numbers don't lie; but Obama and his Socialist pals do lie. 

Socialism, Communism and Fascism are all the same evil.   We have seen that evil in action every days since Obama was elected President, which is the reason we must take back our country in 2012 and 2014.  These Socialists are bankrupting our country.   We can't let this continue.   Instead, we must get our check books out to help elect rock solid, common sense 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 America.  

We must reject 100 years of Socialism and 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.   Throughout history Socialism, Communism and Fascism have led to misery, poverty and a loss of freedom.   WE THE PEOPLE must stand up and say NO to Obama and his Socialist Schemes that are recking our country.   

Romney & Cain Refuse To Sign Pro-Life Pledge

Republican candidates for the Presidency, Mitt Romney and Herman Cain have both refused to sign the Susan B Anthony Pro-Life Pledge.   All other Republican candidates have signed the pledge promising that if they are elected, they will appoint Pro-Life Judges and other federal officials, as well as, deny federal funding for abortion.   Since Romney, supposedly the front runner, is already known as a flip flopper on this and other issues, changing from Pro-Abortion to Pro-Life, once he began to seek the Presidency, this is a defining moment for Romney, who many believe is a RINO and not a real Conservative.   Remember, Romney is responsible for Romney/ObamaCare in Massachusetts.  Those of us that are values voters concerned about free market Economics and social issues,  see Romney's failure to sign the Pro-Life Pledge as the end of the road for Romney. 

This Blogger keeps telling anyone who will listen that though Romney has raised the most money so far, Romney will not be the Republican nominee.   Further, Herman Cain, who is a good guy may also have lost a shot at the VP slot.  The Republican Party is the Conservative Party of the United States; otherwise, it has no reason for being and will go the way of the WHIG's.   As such, if the Republican Party is not the family values Party and that includes a rock solid Pro-Life position,  then the base of the Party will go bye, bye and the Socialists will win in 2012 and 2014.   The good news is that a majority of people in the United States are now Pro-Life; though you will never hear that from the lamestream, left wing media.   Even many young people, who understand the technology, now realize that abortion is murder.   

Mitt Romney, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, is a member of the east coast elite.   The Romney's summer in New Hampshire.  How nice.  While Romney was very successful in business, he was already a millionaire from inheritance when he began in business.   So to say that he was self made would be a stretch.   We need to nominate Republicans for the Presidency that can relate to normal working people.   Of those often mentioned for the Presidency, who were self made, that would be Palenty, Cain, Gingrich, Palin and most importantly, Rick Perry of Texas.

This Blogger believe that our Conservative dream team is Perry/Rubio.  To encourage Rick Perry to get into the race, just go on the Governor's website and tell him that you will get your check book out to support him for the Presidency.  We need a Republican nominee for the Presidency with a little dirt under his finger nails; not one who uses lip gloss and gets regular manicures.  Perry has the executive experience to be President.  Rick Perry is completely self made not in power because of Daddy as has been the case with other Presidents.   In that sense, Barack Obama is to be admired since he came from nothing; though there still seems to be some question as to where his support came from during his university years.

In any case, the Republican nominee for the President and Vice President must be true Conservatives, or many of us will sit on our hands.   As Ronald Reagan always said, we need bold colors not pastels.  As such, our nominees must be both economic and social Conservatives that can be trusted.   Rick Perry and Marco Rubio are our best hope of taking back our country in 2012 and 2014.   Let's make it happen.

Obama's Socialist National Labor Relations Board

Socialist President Obama is appointing labor union Socialists to the National Labor Relations Board, as seats come up, as a pay off to his big union supporters.   In doing so, Obama's goal is to punish Red (translation Republican) right to work states, the ones that actually have experienced job growth and reward Blue (translation Socialist) states that continue to lose jobs.  In the latest battle, the NLRB is attempting to stop Boeing from building its 787 Dreamliner aircraft in Charleston, South Carolina.   The NLRB falsely claims that Boeing is moving this production line there to punish union employees in their Washington state plants even though this is an entirely new production line and there is no job loss in Washington as a result of this move.  In fact, Boeing is actually adding jobs in Washington state.  What we are seeing is big government Socialist gestapo tactics intended to frighten other companies from moving from Blue to Red states. 

Boeing has already spent several billion dollars building this new state of the art factory in South Carolina.   Ultimately, they plan to employee more than 4,000 employees in South Carolina again without laying off one single union employee in Washington state.   The battle, which must be won at all cost, is about FREEDOM.   Since when does the federal government have the right to tell any company where it may locate a factory since no laws have been violated.  South Carolina has official unemployment of nearly 10%.   They need those jobs.  Republicans in Congress and the Governor of South Carolina have asked the NLRB to stop this nonsense; but if this has to go to the Supreme Court, this is a battle that must be fought and won.   The outcome of this case is critical to the entire basis of our country, legal system and inter-state commerce.  

Obama's federal government is totally out of control and will push even more jobs overseas if these Socialist gestapo tactics don't stop.   Unfortunately, the job killers in the Obama Administration, including most importantly the President, will not cease and desist because of their Socialist ideology, which is a big reason we have to make Obama a one term President in 2012.   Get your check books out once we have a Conservative Republican candidate for the Presidency and to support Conservative candidates for Congress.   We absolutely must sweep these Socialists out of office in 2012 and 2014.  Socialists including the President, are a clear and present danger to our freedom and the well-being of our country.   

In order to restore economic growth and jobs in America, 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.   We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to end the reign of terror we see coming from the Obama Administration.   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.   Let there by no doubt that the fight in 2012 and 2014 is all about maintaining our FREEDOM.

MSNBC - The Mindless Socialist News Broadcasting Channel

MSNBC should be known as the Mindless Socialist News Broadcasting Channel because there is nothing fair and balanced about this cable news station founded by NBC, owned by GE, and Microsoft in 1996.  While the MS in MSNBC still stands for Microsoft, they are pretty much out of the picture with new owners of Comcast in the picture presumably with GE.  With very few exceptions; perhaps Pat Buchanan, an old time Conservative and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough, who is a RINO, all commentators on MSNBC are Socialists spewing support for Socialist President Obama and the "progressive" agenda on a daily basis.   The worst of the worst are Chris Matthews, who worked for Socialist Congressman Tip O'Neil years ago, Lawrence O'Donnell, who says he is an avowed Socialist, Ed Schultz, who is an outright liar, Cenk Uygur, pleasant; but not the brightest bulb on the network, Rachel Maddow, their token left wing Lesbian and Dylan Rattigan, nice guy, but not alot there.  

Of course, I would have added Keith Olbermann to the list, but he was fired for making contributions to Socialists in violation of MSNBC policy.   That is particularly funny since GE, NBC, Microsoft and Comcast executives and through their Political Action Committees (PAC's), their companies donate millions of dollars to political candidates.  Oh well, I guess it is just who you know.  Jeff Immelt, the CEO of GE is Obama's pal and why not since Obama gave GE billions in bail out money even though GE paid no federal income taxes in 2010.  Go figure.   

In any case, it is so bad and biased on MSNBC that Matthews, O'Donnell and Schultz are now doing commercials to sell the "progressive" agenda and support President Obama's re-election; but as far as we can tell they are not being paid by the Obama campaign.   What is that all about?  Actually, all of these characters should be on Obama's payroll because they are nothing more than stooges supporting Obama.    In fact, Matthews, who gets a chill up his leg every time Obama speaks, O'Donnell and Schultz should be known as the Three Stooges because they are ideological clowns rather than journalists, or even honest political commentators.   While MSNBC gets killed in the ratings by  Fox News, there is entertainment value when clicking though the channels in watching the Three Stooges; Matthews, O'Donnell and Schultz.  It is just like watching Larry, Moe and Curly.  

Socialist President Obama plans to raise a billion dollars to support his re-election campaign.   Those feeding at the trough, public employees, big unions and those companies benefiting from crony capitalism will write big checks to Obama to keep the taxpayer monies flowing to them.   In addition, the LameStream Media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN and all the left wing newspapers around the country will do everything they can to re-elect Socialists, including the President in 2012 and 2014.  The left wing media supports the Socialist "progressive" tax and spend, big government, anti-family, anti-religion, pro-abortion agenda.  That is certainly no secret. 

It just means that we have to work that much harder to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to sweep these Socialists out of office by electing rock solid, common sense Conservatives (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 job creation in our country. 

Obama will spend a billion dollars on his re-election campaign and get another billion dollars of free coverage from the left wing media.   The good news is that cards talk and numbers don't lie.  No matter how much they lie and they do lie, Socialists cannot refute the real 15% unemployment rate and the fact that their policies have led to 22 million Americans either out of work, working part time that want full time work, or who have just given up looking for work altogether.  The Socialist can't make up stories about the $4 we are paying for a gallon of gasoline and higher food prices because Obama has no energy plan.  And, then there are all the foreclosures as millions of Americans have lost their homes.  They will try to spin all of these numbers; but the sad facts are the facts. 

Despite the monies Obama will spend on his re-election and the free coverage Obama will get from the left wing media, we are going to take back our country in 2012 and 2014.   While we will be out spent 2 to 1, we will get our checkbooks out to tell the truth about Obama's failures.    We WILL take back our country.   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.  In the meantime, if you want a good laugh every once and a while tune into the Socialist chumps on MSNBC.   It is after all cheap entertainment just as good as watching an episode of the Three Stooges.   

Governor Rick Perry Of Texas - Time To Enter The Presidential Race

Governor Rick Perry of Texas will decide soon if he will enter the race for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.   Let us hope that Perry decides to go for it because he is our best hope of defeating Socialist President Obama.   Though Rick Perry took over the Governorship after George W Bush was elected President, Perry is not George W Bush in any way, shape or form.  Perry represents the American dream.  Perry, a fifth generation Texan and his family were tenant farmers.  

Rick Perry is definitely not an east coast country club Republican.  Perry knows what it is to have dirt under his fingernails.   Rick Perry spent five years in the Air Force.  Afterwards, Perry has been involved in public service for two decades serving in the Texas House of Representatives, as Texas Commissioner of Agriculture and then later as Lieutenant Governor before assuming the Governor's office.   Perry has been the longest serving Texas Governor, winning two terms in his own right, in Texas history. 

Rick Perry holds a degree in Animal Science from the Texas A & M University.  That makes him an Aggie.   Bush was our first MBA President, which seemed good, but did not work out too well.   Maybe it would be good to have a President that understands animal behaviors since Congress often looks a sequel of the movie Animal House.   

Most important, most of the job creation in the United States in the last decade has occurred in Texas, which happens to coincide with the years Perry has spent as Governor.  Rick Perry is real Conservative not a RINO.   Perry supports free market capitalism, limited government and lower taxes and less regulation and he has made it work to turn Texas into the second largest state in the nation.  As Texas Governor, Perry understands what needs to be done to secure our Southern border and he will do what is necessary to make it happen.   In addition,  since Perry comes from Texas, he knows Energy and as such will implement an Energy Plan to make the US Energy independent. 

Rick Perry is married with two children and believe it our not he is an Eagle Scout and life long member of the American Legion Post 75.   Perry carries a gun when he jogs, which he used to shoot a coyote that was attacking his dog.   We all know that there are a lot of varmints in Washington DC so having a no nonsense rock solid Conservatives President in the White House that knows how to deal with pests would be great and just what we need.   

Tell everyone you know to encourage Rick Perry to enter the Presidential Race.   Perry is a candidate that will unify the Republican Party.   The icing on the cake would be Perry's selection of Senator Marco Rubio, from FLORIDA, as the Republican Vice President nominee.   Rubio is another American dream story.  Born in the United States from Cuban blue collar parents, Rubio, an attorney, who is Catholic and Hispanic, served in Florida state government before becoming one of its Senators.  And, since both Perry and Rubio have run for public office many times, we have to assume if there was any dirt on either of them, it would have come to light long ago.   So they must be clean.  This would be our dream ticket.   Both Perry and Rubio are rock solid Conservatives we can trust.  

We have to take back our country.   A Perry/Rubio Republican Ticket is the best way to make it happen.  This Blogger will get out my checkbook to support this ticket in a big way.   I would sell the farm to support this ticket.  I will beat on doors to raise money for Perry/Rubio.   Let's make it happen to take back our country to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.   We have to make Obama a one term President in 2012 and Perry/Rubio is our best hope to sweep these Socialists out of office to clean house to get out country back on track to restore economic growth and job creation in America.

Obama's Shovel-Ready Projects

While speaking to a Jobs Council in North Carolina, Socialist President Obama joked that "shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected" in reference to projects that were supposed to be funded by the President's SwindleUS Plans.   Remember, one of Obama's justifications for borrowing a Trillion Dollars to spend on his SwindleUS Plans I, II and III was that this money would be used for shovel ready projects to create jobs.   If President Obama had ever worked in the private sector, he would know that there is no such thing as a "shovel-ready" project because it can take years to get permits to build just about anything as a result of local, state and federal bureaucracies.  And, Obama's gestapo, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in business to stop development not encourage it. 

Again, Mr. President, please tell the 22 million Americans that are unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work, or those that have just given up looking for work altogether that there was no such thing as "shovel-ready" projects that were supposed to create jobs.   And, the President should also tell the unemployed, many of whom have lost their homes, that his failed economic policy has made them road kill, along the "bump in the road" referenced by the President to explain away the rise in unemployment and dismal economic growth.

The fact is that Obama's SwindleUS Plan monies went to the states to retain public union employees on the payroll as a pay off to Obama's supporters.  As someone who lived through the Jimmy Carter years, it is clear that we are seeing Jimmy Carter II as Obama is another failed Socialist President.  The misery index which includes the unemployment rate, the foreclosure rate, the price of gasoline and other energy, the inflation rate, the dismal GDP growth rate all tell us that President Obama is a complete failure.  

In contrast to Jimmy Carter, who was a poor communicator, the President looks good and sounds good; but is completely incompetent just like Jimmy Carter.  Obama is truly a man in an empty suit with no practical work experience.   Obama would never have been hired for a high level job in the private sector given his resume; yet there he sits in the White House surrounded by fellow Socialists and egg heads, very few of whom have ever run a business, or even a lemonade stand. 

As someone who has run a global business and has created jobs, it is painful for this Blogger to watch President Obama on a daily basis.  Obama is such a failure in both economic policy and foreign policy (he has none) that there is no way there can be a good end to this story.   Clearly, if Obama is allowed to continue with his plan to "transform" our nation into a Socialist country it will not only lead to the bankruptcy of the United States; but potentially to civil strife and a much lower standard of living for the American people.   WE THE PEOPLE just can't let that happen. 

Instead, we must use those shovels Obama was always talking about to sweep these Socialists out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing rock solid, common sense Conservatives (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 the platform supported by the American people and the only way to restore economic growth and job creation in our country.

We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.   We have to finish the job we began in 2010 by sweeping Socialists out of office at every level of government.  Of course, we must make Obama a one term President.  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.  Get your shovel ready.   We have work to do. 

Republicans In Name Only (RINO's)

In order to take back our country, we must elect rock solid, common sense Conservatives (not RINO's) 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.   Occasionally, we have to hold our nose and vote for a RINO, a Republican In Name Only, as was the case in Nevada for the Governor's race.  As a result, Brian Sandoval, a RINO, defeated Rory Reid, son of Socialist Senator Dirty Harry Reid.  

Though Sandoval, who is pro-choice not pro-life, promised not to raise or extend tax increases, once in offices just a few months, he conspired with Socialists and their public employee union supporters and a few other RINO's to extend $600 million in "temporary" tax increases for two more years.   Those tax increases will probably cost the state of Nevada about 15,000 jobs at a time when Nevada has the highest real unemployment rate in the country.   So plain and simple, Sandoval and some other RINO's in Nevada LIED to the people that elected them as is often the case with RINO's.   RINO's just cannot be trusted to roll back Socialism.  

We some times hear Republicans, including Ronald Reagan, who once said that if we agree 80% of the time, that should be acceptible.   However,  if the 20% allows for compromise and a violation of Conservative Republican ideals and the growth of Socialism, that is absolutely not acceptible.   And, for those of us that are both economic and social Conservatives, Republicans that support abortion and an attack on family values will only get our vote when the Socialist choice, as was the case in Nevada, was so bad that sleeping with the devil was preferable.  

This Blogger always emphasizes the need to elect Conservatives not just Republicans.  If we are to take back our country in 2012 and 2014, we have to roll back 100 years of Socialism.   The only way that will occur is if Conservatives control Congress, the Presidency, state government, the Courts, school boards etc.   There can be no more compromise with Socialists because it is compromise that is leading to the bankruptcy of our nation and the loss of our freedoms.  Government intrusion into every aspect of our lives is the result of compromise with Socialists.   

Instead, we need strong Conservatives in office that will say NO to bigger government, NO to more taxes and regulations, NO to more entitlements, NO to public employee unions,  NO to environmental wackos and trial lawyers, NO to more bail outs of private companies,   NO to more deficit spending,  NO to ObamaCare,  NO to more limitations on the right to bear arms, NO to attacks on the sanctity of life,  NO to hollowing out our military and NO to allowing illegal aliens to enter our country.   In essence, we need to elect Conservatives at all levels of government in 2012 and 2014 that will say NO to Socialism and the "progressive" agenda that is bankrupting our country.  

So, beware the RINO that will reach "across the aisle".   They are really no better than Socialists if they agree to Socialist Schemes.   And, don't give money to committees unless you are sure that they will only support Conservatives with your money.   It is much better to give money directly to Conservative candidates committed to rolling back 100 years of Socialism.   We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by making Obama a one term President and electing Conservatives at all levels of government.   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.   We must prepare for the battle of all elections in 2012.  We are fighting for our country no different than our brave soldiers around the world.

Getting The United States Back On Track

When this Blogger's grandparents came to America with the required $25 in their pockets a hundred years ago, there was no income tax, no welfare, no Medicare, no Social Security and no food stamps.  People had to work hard to provide for their families since other than charity assistance, there were no government hand outs and they were better for it.   As a result, Americans built the greatest country is the history of the world.  The beginning of our demise came with the Socialist Constitutional Amendment to allow for the federal income tax in 1913 to facilitate the redistribution of income in the name of "social justice".   And then came Roosevelt's New Deal that began the nanny state that is bankrupting our country.

Today, about 47% of Americans (about 70 million) pay no income taxes at all.   Of those, 23 million low income Americans, that pay no income taxes, actually get checks from the federal government each year as the Earned Income Tax credit to bribe them into working rather than going on welfare.   43 million Americans are on food stamps.  Millions of Americans receive Workman's Compensation and Disability checks rather than work full time, even though they are perfectly capable of working.  It is well known that a high percentage of those on Disability commit fraud and do work on the side making money "under the table".   Farmers receive billions in subsidies not to produce food.   And, then of course, we have public employees, represented by unions, that receive compensation, benefits and pensions far in excess of what is common in the private sector paid for by the tax payer. 

The federal government waste billions of dollars each year on all kinds of crazy programs.   There are many local, state and federal departments and agencies that are completely redundant creating a stifling bureaucracy that is not only bankrupting our country, it is killing jobs and economic growth in the US.   Public Employee Unions, Environmental wackos and trial lawyers, represented by Socialists in government, often make doing business in America difficult if not impossible.   There is something very wrong with this picture. 

WE THE PEOPLE in just trying to manage our daily personal lives have let all of this happen.   We have stood by for about a hundred years as Socialist creep has occurred.   Now, WE THE PEOPLE have to say NO to Socialism to get our country back on track and prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.  We have to sweep these Socialists out of office in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives (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 job creation in our country and to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States. 

Most important, we must eliminate programs like welfare, except perhaps for the infirm or mentally handicapped, in favor of workfare and vocational education as a requirement for any government assistance.   We have to get rid of all the redundant local, state and federal departments and agencies that are strangling our economy.   We have to deny the public employee unions, environmental wackos and trial lawyers the opportunities to destroy our economy and our nation.  WE THE PEOPLE have work to do.   We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping these Socialists, including President Obama, out of office.   We have to finish the job we began in 2010.   We must work together to get our country back on track.  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.

Supply Side Economics Works

In a bold faced lie, Socialists always claim that Supply Side Economics does not work.  The fact is that Supply Side Economics predicated on lowering taxes and cutting regulations to stimulate economic growth absolutely worked during the Kennedy, Reagan and Bush II Presidencies to create jobs and actually increase tax revenues going to the federal government.   The problem was that Socialists, with Republican compliance, increased government spending far beyond the new tax revenues gained through the economic growth achieved contributing to the National Debt. 

President Reagan restored monies to fund the military that had been hollowed out by Jimmy Carter, which ultimately resulted to the demise of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.   But, as part of the grand bargain to get those monies, Reagan agreed to more social spending demanded by then Socialist Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil.  President George W Bush faced a recession from the Clinton years, which was the result of tax increases and then had to deal with 9/11; but again social spending increased under Bush II as Bush added the prescription drug benefit without cutting other wasteful programs.  

In any case, there can be no doubt that Supply Side Economics, rather than Keynesian Socialist Economics, works to create economic growth and jobs.   This time around Congressman Paul Ryan has proposed not only lower taxes and less regulation, but $6 Trillion in spending cuts over ten years to shrink  federal government spending from about 25% of GDP down to around 18%.   And, Ryan has proposed a plan to SAVE Medicare, that will be completely insolvent by 2024, if action is not taken now.    If the Ryan Plan is enacted, we will see a restoration of economic growth and job creation once again in the private sector,  which is the only way to get our nation back on track.  

Time is running out.   Socialists insist on Trillions in deficit spending that will bankrupt our nation to pay-off their PEEP's on the dole.   Socialists still insist on higher taxes and more regulations, which will retard economic growth and result in high unemployment for years to come along with a lower standard of living for all Americans.   Socialists really don't care if that is the end result because they want more Americans dependent on government as voters supporting them in order to stay in power.    WE THE PEOPLE must stand up and say NO to more Socialist schemes that are destroying our country.  

We must say NO to the Socialists, the environmental wackos, the public employee unions and trial lawyers that are bankrupting our country.   We must sweep all these characters out of power 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 take back our country in 2012 and 2014.   We can do it.  We must do it by sweeping these Socialists out of office to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.  Supply Side Economics is the key to our success.  When you hear Socialist say that Supply Side Economics does, just remember that they are LYING.

$62 Trillion Dollar National Debt & "Patient" With The Economy

Socialist President Obama is telling the American people that we need to be "patient" concerning the economy.   This is the same President who told us that if he borrowed a Trillion dollars to spend on his SwindleUS Plans I, II and III that unemployment would cap out at 8% when it went to over 10% and that by today we would have unemployment of 7% or less, when it is at 9.1% or really more than 15% if all are counted.   Mr. President, please tell the 22 million Americans that are either unemployed, underemployed working part time that want full time work, or those that have given up looking for jobs altogether that they need to be "patient" particularly those that have been out of work for a year or more.   And then, Obama should tell the millions of Americans that have either lost their homes to foreclosure, or that are upside down on their mortgages because home values have fallen so far during Obama's Presidency to be "patient".

It is clear that Obama's economic plan, based on Keynesian Socialist ideology instead of free market capitalism, has been a complete failure.   By this stage of a Recession, we should be seeing job growth of 300,000 or more jobs a month and GDP growth of 3% or more.   Instead, in the month of May, job growth was only about 50,000 and GDP growth was an anemic 1.8%.   At this rate, the United States will be Recession for many years to come, which is the reason Obama wants us to be "patient". 

At the same time, it was just reported that our actual National Debt is not the $14 Trillion that is often talked about; but really about $62 Trillion when Social Security, Medicare and other government pension liabilities are included.  The gap between spending commitments and revenue last year equals more than a one-third of the nation's gross domestic product.  Yet, Obama and the other Socialists in Congress want to continue run away deficit spending that is bankrupting our country to pay off their PEEP's in order to win elections.   If these characters worked in corporate America, they would be in jail for malfeasance not in Congress, or even the Presidency. 

Mr. President, the American people have lost patience with you and your Socialist Party.   This may be the reason that 59% of Americans now disapproved of the way Obama is managing the economy according to a Washington Post ABC News Poll.   Of course, the other 41% of Americans that approve of Obamanomics are those on the dole like those that pay no income tax at all, those on welfare and other government programs and public employees that are all feeding at the trough.   The goods news is that 59% of Americans, the vast majority, see the forest for the trees.   Most Americans recognize that President Obama is a good talker; but not much else.   Obama is a "Man In An Empty Suit" that looks good, sounds good; but doesn't say much that matters.  

We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to restore economic growth and job creation in America and to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation.   We must elect Conservatives (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 American people and the only way to get our nation back on track.  

We must make Obama a one term President because he is recking our economy and our nation.   We must finish the job we began in 2010 by sweeping remaining Socialists out of Congress.   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 Demise Of NATO

Out going Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently predicted the demise of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that was formed after World War II primarily to defend Europe.   Now that there is no threat from the old Soviet Union,  it may be that NATO's time has come and gone.    Yet, Eastern European countries that joined NATO late in its existence do still fear Russia and to some degree Germany for good reason; a little something called history.   The fact is however, that European countries that tend toward Socialism will not spend the money needed to defend themselves, or freedom.  And, as such, it is the American taxpayer on the hook and our military often defending freedom around the world and fighting Terrorism.  

It is pretty obvious that with the exception of treaties with various countries around the world to maintain strictly American bases in the event of a threat to our security,  we probably should stop spending tax payer money in an attempt to create military integration.   The Europeans bring so little to the table that why bother.   For the most part, the Germans and the Japanese will not commit troops to fight in any war even if their interests are at stake.   So to follow the line of looking out for number one, the US should do what is in our interests and only in our interests.   Long term, we will probably see history repeat itself; but since we do not have real partners in Europe willing to pay their fair share, they may have to learn this lesson again the hard way.  

And, what the heck are we doing in Libya?   Now NATO, sort of with our help, is out to kill Moamar Qaddafi, the dictator in charge of Libya.  If we are going to go down this road, why not kill Assad, the dictator in charge of Syria that is murdering his citizens.   Socialist President Obama's foreign policy related to the Middle East is incoherent.   Obama stated categorically that we were not going to directly participate in regime change in Libya.    I would say trying to kill Qaddafi with a rationalization that he is the the Commander and Chief of his armed forces is definitely participating in regime change.   Ironically, American Socialists that are generally opposed to war have now added another war to the two, Iraq and Afghanistan that are supposed to be winding down.   Where does this end?

Clearly, we need to secure our border and continue fighting Terrorism.   While Qaddafi is guilty of supporting Terrorism in the past, when Reagan almost did him in, Qaddafi turned over a new leaf.   No one has ever accused Qaddafi of any involvement with 9/11 or any other recent act of Terrorism; yet NATO is out to kill him.   The United States is broke.   We do need to secure our border and fight Terrorism; but we can't be involved in trying to bring down every tin horned dictator in the world.   This Blogger does not see any rationalization that makes any sense for US or NATO involvement in Libya.   If it makes sense to provide the rebels in Libya with arms, fine, but that should be it.  Most likely, when the dust settles there, Libya will just end up with another dictator that could be worse than Qaddafi.  

Adept foreign policy requires long term vision; not shoot from the hip behaviors by our President.  There is no Obama Doctrine.   President Obama is floundering related to foreign policy because he is a weak, naive, inexperienced leader.  Obama reached out to Arab and Muslim nations and the end result has been higher oil prices that is recking our economy.   Obama threw Israel under the bus when he demanded that Israel pull back to its 1967 borders that are indefensible.   The demise of NATO is happening as much because of Obama's weak leadership as anything else.  

President Obama is a clear and present danger to our nation.   Obama has recked our economy and now he is recking our foreign policy.  We must make Obama a one term President to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.   We can do it.   We must do it.
