America Is Committing Slow Suicide

The United States of America is on a sure path toward national suicide.   100 years of Socialist Creep is not only bankrupting our country, it has made us a weaker people and nation.  Once politicians of both political parties figured out that they could borrow money to fund the government and pork barrel projects to bring home the bacon to win elections,  we began the path toward national bankruptcy and economic chaos.  Socialist President Obama has just taken all of this to new unprecedented levels as Obama borrows $4 Billion every day to fund his Socialist Schemes.  Obama has added $5 Trillion to our $16 Trillion National Debt, in just four years, more than any other President in American history, with no end in sight.  In fact, Obama has added more than $1 Trillion to our National Debt for every year he has been in office.  These numbers are staggering and a threat to our national sovereignty. 

Great empires have fallen throughout history because of corruption, fiscal mismanagement and unpredictable wars.  Sound familiar?  The Soviet Union is just the latest example of a country that was militarily strong; but economically weak, which ultimately resulted in the disintegration of that empire.   Communism, in the old Soviet Union, like Socialism when ever and where ever it has been practiced, has only led to misery, poverty, a low standard of living and in the Soviet Union's case murder of its citizens. 

America is committing slow suicide.   If We The People don't act to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by electing common sense Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, lower taxes and less regulations, a balanced budget, Congressional Term Limits, education and entitlement 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 will see the economic collapse of the United States within 10 years.  If that happens, there will be civil strife on our streets and potentially the disintegration of the United States as we know it today. 

As a former student and teacher of History and Government, I always look to history as my teacher.   Don't think what I predict can't happen in America because it has happened many times throughout world history.   The corruption and fiscal mismanagement that exists in government at all levels will cause the demise of the United States.  We cannot go on borrowing Trillions of dollars to fund redundant programs, agencies, commissions and departments.   We cannot possibly support 67 million Americans receiving some kind of government assistance, rather than working for a living.   We must secure our border to stop the flow of illegal aliens from entering our country that are bankrupting many states.  We cannot allow Obama's Gestapos, the Justice Department, the IRS, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Labor Relations Board, among many other government agencies to destroy our economy by Executive Order and Administrative fiat.  The federal government is a job killer made worse by Socialist Obamanistas.

Our only hope is the election of Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States and gaining Republican control of both Houses of Congress in 2012 and 2014,  if there is any hope at all because the United States is at a tipping point.   Governor Romney is saying all the right things; but we will still have to hold his feet to the fire, once elected, to make sure that we don't end up with more of the same Socialist Creep.  One thing is for sure.  If Obama is reelected, we will experience the bankruptcy of the United States and from it a loss of our national sovereignty.  If Obama wins, we will lose our country.   We just can't let that happen. 

As a political junkie since I was 10 years old, more than 52 years ago, I can say that Obama is a threat to our nation as bad as any foreign enemy we have ever faced in our history.  Abe Lincoln once said a nation divided against itself cannot stand.  Obama seeks to divide our nation in order to win reelection.  And further, I firmly believe that Obama is intentionally pushing our country toward bankruptcy to "transform" our nation into a Socialist country.   Obama supports redistribution of income in the name of "social justice" to take from hard working Makers in our society to give to the Takers; Obama's PEEP's, those on the dole, the 50% of Americans that pay no income taxes at all, public employee union members, illegal aliens, radical environmentalists, trial lawyers and Obama's crony Capitalist supporters.   Redistribution of income and assets is the Socialist ticket to power even if it causes the destruction of our country. 

The only way to make this happen quickly is to cause the complete economic collapse of our nation in order to exert dictatorial powers.  Based on Obama's actions in the past 4 years, this is not far fetched.  Obama has shown no respect for the Constitution, the rule of law, Congress, or the Courts.  Obama is using Executive Orders to implement dictatorial power.   As such, Obama is a clear and present danger to our freedom, our nation and way of life like nothing we have ever experienced in American history.  As a result, we just can't risk four more years of Obama.  Aside from the destruction Obama has caused to our economy, this President continues to attack our freedom.  It has to stop and soon. 

We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to end our nation's slow suicide.  To do so, we must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including Obama out of office.   It is our only hope.   We have to put on our hip boots and drain the swamp in Washington DC and many state capitols to stop the slow death of our nation.   We can do it.  We must do it to preserve our nation and our freedom.

Donate To Mitt Romney's Campaign NOW

Socialist President Obama is a clear and present danger to our nation and all Americans.   While Obama may have been born in the United States, Obama clearly does not think like an American President who supports free market capitalism, limited government and a balanced budget to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.  Obama is a Socialist determined to "transform" our country into an intrusive, big government Socialist nation to support his PEEP's, those on the dole, the 50% of Americans that pay no income taxes at all, public employee unions members, illegal aliens, radical environmentalists, trial lawyers and Obama's crony capitalist supporters.   Big Brother Obama wants to intrude into all aspects of daily life and even control life and death decisions through the imposition of ObamaCare.   We can't let any of this happen.   

In order to take back our nation, we must make Obama a one term President by electing Mitt Romney the next President of the United States and by electing a Republican majority in both Houses of Congress in 2012 and 2012.   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 National Freedom Forum has thousands of readers every day.   If every reader just contributes $10  a month for the next three months to Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign,  we can help elect Mitt Romney and end this Obama misery.  Of course, those who can give more should give as much as possible to make Obama a one term President.   We have to put on our hip boots and drain the swamp in Washington DC and many state capitols to get our country back our track to restore economic growth and job creation again in America.   The only way to make it happen is to donate money to support Conservatives running for office to get our message out to counter the Obama Chicago Propaganda machine. 

A second Obama term will only lead to more misery, poverty and a lower standard of living for all Americans.   Obama is a threat to our nation as bad as any foreign enemy we have ever faced.  Obama has already added $5 Trillion to our $16 Trillion National Debt with no end in sight, more than any other President in American history.   If nothing else, we must elect Mitt Romney to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.   To donate to Mitt Romney's campaign to make Obama a one term President, just click on the link below.

Economic Growth - Not Socialism

Socialist President Obama does not understand how to stimulate real economic growth and job creation  again in America because he has never worked in the private sector.   Obama's recent comments concerning small businesses, the backbone of our country, saying that business owners were not responsible for their own success and that somehow government was the cause of their success was just plain ridiculous.  The fact is that businesses succeed in spite of government, not because of it.  And further, the infrastructure Obama is always talking about, roads and bridges etc are there because of the blood, sweat and tears of  millions of small business owners that paid their taxes to build them. 

Obama has a perverse way of looking at life.   The 50% of us in the United States that pay all the income taxes and various fees charged to be in business own the government, not the other way around.   It is the Makers in our country that make government possible, not the government that makes the Makers possible.   Obama is a Socialist that believes that the sun sets and rises as result of big government.   Obama's goal is to make as many people dependent on government as possible in his attempt to "transform" America into a Socialist nation.  That is the Hope and Change Obama spoke of in 2008.  

So far Obama has achieved his objective.   We have experienced 41 straight months of 8% or higher unemployment, with people getting as many as 99 weeks of unemployment benefits.   46 million Americans are now on Food Stamps, up 26 million since Obama was elected.   About 9 million Americans now receive a Disability check each month, up 1 million since Obama took office.   Millions more are on Welfare and Medicaid, up substantially, since Obama was elected because the poverty rate is higher today than when Bush II was President.  In fact, about 67 million Americans now receive some kind of government assistance as a result of Obama's failed economic plan.   And, we have experienced the highest foreclosure rate in American history as many people have lost their homes.

If this is Hope and Change, no thanks.   This picture actually represents the road to Socialism where Big Brother Obama intrudes into all aspects of daily life with the boot of big government on the backs of the Makers in society.   If Obama is reelected and we allow this to continue, we will only see more misery, poverty and a lower standard of living for all Americans.   We will also see the bankruptcy of the United States as Obama continues to borrow $4 Billion a day to fund his Socialist Schemes.  Instead, we must unleash the power of the American economy and the private sector as the only way to restore economic growth and create jobs again in America.  This is also the only way to end deficit spending and pay off our $16 Trillion National Debt. 

First, both ObamaCare and Dodd Frank must be repealed.   These laws enacted by Socialists and the President when they controlled both Houses of Congress are job killers.   ObamaCare will result in as many as 20 million Americans losing their company sponsored health insurance plans.   Dodd Frank is making it difficult if not impossible for many companies to do business, let alone grow businesses.  This Blogger would love to expand our mortgage business; but we cannot do so until we see the Dodd Frank regulations impacting mortgage companies.   Depending on what comes down, there is a good chance we will have to close our mortgage company.  In the mean time, we are in a holding pattern.   This story could be told over and again because the 11,000 regulations imposed by Obama's Executive Orders and Administrative fiat are all job killers impacting many different businesses and pushing more jobs overseas.  

To restore economic growth and job creation again in America and grow Gross Domestic Product to 4% or more, the only way to bring down unemployment, we must cut government spending by eliminating redundant programs, agencies and departments and reforming entitlements, reform our tax code, eliminate thousands of job killer regulations, convert the Environmental Protection Agency Gestapo into an Environmental Solutions Agency and implement a 50 year Energy Plan that will make the United States energy independent.   This is the Conservative Republican Platform opposed by President Obama and his Socialist pals in Congress.  By the way, all of this is just common sense. 

Socialism, Obama's ideology, is not the road to economic growth and job creation again in America.  The only way to get our country back our track is to sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014.   We have seen almost four years of Obama's destructive policies.  The thought of four more years of Obama is frightening.   Instead, we must elect pro-growth Conservatives in 2012 and 2014.   We must make Mitt Romney the next President of the United States and gain Republican control of both Houses of Congress to restore economic growth and job creation again in America.   It will not happen any other way.

Obama - Borrowing Another $1.2 Trillion

The Obama Administration reported that they will borrow another $1.2 Trillion this fiscal year to fund the federal government.  This marks the fourth year of the Obama Presidency with deficits above $1 Trillion.  Bush II never had an annual budget deficit of more than $400 Billion in his 8 years in office.   Further, if Obama's Socialist Schemes are allowed to continue, Obama tells us that the US National Debt will grow to $25.4 Trillion in the next ten years and that is with significant tax increases.  If Obama's tax increases are enacted and spending continues along the current trajectory, the National Debt will be even higher because tax increases retard economic growth.  Of course, the markets will never allow this to happen.  Instead, we will see the economic collapse of the United States if we even approach Obama's debt levels, the same as is happening in Greece and other countries.

Obama is borrowing $4 Billion a day to fund his Socialist Schemes.   We will hit our $16.2 Trillion National Debt ceiling by year end and Obama will ask for even more.  This level of spending is reckless and  irresponsible because it will ultimately cause the bankruptcy of the United States, Obama's clear goal.   This Blogger has come to the conclusion that Socialist Obama intends to cause the economic collapse of the United States as part of his plan to "transform" the United States into a Socialist nation. 

Obama wants to redistribute income and assets from the Makers in our country to the Takers; his PEEP's, those on the dole, those that pay no income taxes at all, public employee union government workers, illegal aliens, radical environmentalists, trial lawyers and Obama's Crony Capitalist supporters.   The only way to accomplish this goal is to cause the complete breakdown of our economic system when Obama will take emergency powers to confiscate wealth, one way or another.  

Obama did exactly that when he stole General Motors, as part of his bail out scheme, from its true owners, the bond holders and gave it to his union crony supporters in the auto union in violation of long standing law.  Obama regularly ignores laws on the books, the Courts and the Constitution by Executive Order and Administrative fiat.  Why would anyone with a brain believe that Obama would abide by the law if we were facing the economic collapse of the United States.   We need to fear this President and his minions because Obama is a clear and present danger to our freedom and our nation.  

Obamanistas have proposed taking control of the Internet in the event of an "emergency" and that will happen to control free speech.  Always remember that Socialists, Communists and Fascists will lie, cheat or steal and sometimes even murder to stay in office feeding at the trough.  History is our teacher and all of these things have happened in the past.  Based on Obama's actions to date, there is no reason to believe that Obama would abide by the Constitution in the event of a national economic emergency.   Instead, Obama would use the occasion to take on dictatorial powers in the name of the American people.  

We can't let any of this happen, which is the reason we must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014.   We must elect Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, a balanced budget, Congressional Term Limits, 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 opposed by all Socialists. 

We must take back our nation by elected Mitt Romney the next President of the United States and gaining Republican control of both Houses of Congress.  It is the only way to get our nation back on track to restore economic growth and job creation again in America.   We can do it.  We must do it to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States and preserve our freedom and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.   Obama is destroying our country.   We must make Obama a one term President to prevent economic chaos and a loss of our freedom.   We have to put on our hip boots and drain the swamp in Washington DC and many state capitols.  It is dirty, stinky work; but our nation depends on our focus, passion and discipline.

Second Quarter GDP Growth - Dismal

During the second quarter, the months from April to June, 2012, the US Gross Domestic Product, (GDP) fell to a dismal 1.5%.  In order to make any real dent in unemployment, the US needs GDP growth of 3% or more.   This is happening because consumer confidence has fallen in direct relationship to our confidence in Socialist President Obama's ability to manage our economy to restore economic growth and jobs creation again in America.   In other words, the American people are afraid to make purchases because they see Obama's failed Socialist Schemes and proposal to redistribute their income, through higher taxes and more regulations.  As such most Americans just don't know if they will have the money to pay for big purchases so they have stopped buying further retarding economic growth.

Obama and his Socialist Pals in Congress want to raise taxes on people earning more than $250,000 a year.   That may sound like a lot of money to most people; but it includes about a million small businesses that file their tax returns as individuals rather than as corporations.  These small businesses employ about 70% of all  Americans.   And, while Obama has stated that small business owners and entrepreneurs owe their success to him and the federal government, which is outright baloney, raising taxes on small businesses, or anyone during Recession or a period of slow growth, will lead to a deeper Recession or Depression in our country.   Obviously, if small business owners have to pay higher taxes, they will have less money to invest in their businesses and hire more employees.  As always, raising taxes is a job killer.  Further, ObamaCare has 26 tax increases in it that will impact 75% of middle class Americans.   Experts estimate that the ObamaCare tax increases alone will cost nearly a million jobs.   

Obama and his Socialists pals in Congress claim that life was wonderful when Clinton and a Socialist controlled Congress raised the personal tax rate from 35% to 39.5%, which is what they want to do again.  The fact of the matter is that about 18 months after Clinton raised taxes the Dot Com boom went bust and higher taxes resulted in a Recession.  In March of 2001, right after Bush II took office, the US was already in Recession made worse by 9/11, which happened a few months later.  It was only the Bush Tax Cuts that revived the economy and got our nation back on track.  Many forget that for most of the Bush II Presidency, unemployment was below 5% since we had real GDP Growth above 3%.  These are convenient facts that you will never hear from Obama or other Socialists in government because they will lie, cheat or steal to stay in office.  

We need GDP growth above 3% consistently, every quarter, to experience economic growth and job creation again in America.   This will not happen as long as Obama and his Socialist pals in government remain in office, which is the reason we sweep them all out of office in 2012 and 2014.   Instead, we must elect Conservative grown up's that took and passed Economics 101.  The only way to grow the economy is to shrink the size of government and at the same time cut taxes and regulations to unleash the power of the private sector to create real jobs, not sham short term jobs, with more of Obama's SwindleUS money. 

We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014.   We can do it.  We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and our way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.   Obama's 1.5% GDP Growth, after borrowing and spending a Trillion dollars on his SwindleUS Plan and adding $5 Trillion to our $16 Trillion National Debt, has failed to restore economic growth and job creation again in American.   Obama had his chance at the bat and struck out.  Obama has to go to end the misery, poverty and lower standard of living he has created in America.

Obama's Second Term - Dangerous To America

Socialist President Obama has told us on many occasions that his goal is to "transform America".   We now see what he means.  Obama supports redistribution of income in the name of "social justice".   As a Socialist, Obama wants to see as many people as possible dependent on a big, tax and deficit spend federal government as a means of staying in power.   What this amounts to is Obama's intention to force the Makers in society, the 50% of us that pay all income taxes in America to support the Takers in our country, Obama's PEEP's, those on the dole, the 50% that pay no income taxes at all, public employee union members, illegal aliens, radical environmentalists, trial lawyers and Obama's crony capitalist supporters. 

Socialist President Obama is a clear and present danger to America, as bad as any foreign enemy we have ever faced because this President will intentionally cause the bankruptcy of the United States in an attempt to completely restructure our society.   This is not about the 1% that supposedly represent the wealthy in America; but rather the 50% that work hard and as a result have real and personal assets.   Obama's real goal is to take from the 50% that own assets in our country and give to the 50% that either don't work hard, or that are uneducated with little job skills so they don't command much money for their labor.  Many of these people, dependent on government, are living off the fat of the land, including public employee union members that are being paid 40% more than is typical in the private sector at our expense. 

We have seen a glimpse of Obama's contempt for the rule of law and our Constitution during the President's first term.   The GM bail out ignored established bankruptcy law as Obama stole the company from its legitimate owners, the bond holders and gave it to his PEEP's, the auto union for free.   Further, Obama is using Executive Orders and Administrative fiat to ignore various laws on the books related to illegal aliens, Welfare, Food Stamps, Disability benefits, Environmental Enforcement, labor law and even court orders.   Obamanistas have shown a complete disregard for the United States Congress and the Courts and it will get much worse in a second term.   

As such, it will not matter if the Republicans gain complete control of the US Congress if Obama is elected to a second term.   Obama will rule as a Dictator, if reelected, using Executive Orders and Administrative fiat to impose his will on the American people.   Those that oppose Obama's actions will face the IRS Gestapo.   When the Socialists controlled Congress during Obama's first two years in office and they enacted ObamaCare and Dodd Frank; imposing federal government control of health care in America, one sixth of the US economy and the law governing our financial system.  In doing so, they gave Obama complete power using regulatory authority to do literally anything he wants under the guise of these two laws.   All Americans should be scared to death if these two laws remains on the books with Obama in power. 

If the Republicans gain control of Congress, even if these bills are repealed, if Obama is reelected, he will Veto repeal.  Since it take a two thirds vote of Congress to overturn a Presidential Veto, it will not happen because there will be enough Socialists left in Congress to prevent overturn of Obama's Vetoes.   Yes, there could be court challenges to Obama's actions; but it take years for cases to wind their way through the courts and we have seen in the ObamaCare ruling that the courts often defer to the Executive Branch of government out of fear of reprisal. 

Yes, it is true that the House of Representatives, in particular, controls the purse stings, however, if Obama does not get his way related to deficit spending, Obama will shut down the government as a means of pressuring Republicans to vote for his budgets.  Finally, the Congress could attempt to impeach Obama for his illegal actions, however, the notion that a Republican Congress will have the guts to impeach the nation's first Black President is doubtful no matter what he does to our country. 

For all of these reasons, we must work very hard to make Obama a one term President.  Barack Obama is is a clear and present danger to our nation and to our freedom like nothing we have ever experienced in our history.  This man hates the America that we love.   We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama out of office to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.  If Obama is allowed to prevail we will experience economic chaos and civil strife on our streets.  

We just can't allow that to happen.   As such, we must elect Conservatives committed to limited government, free market capitalism, a balanced budget, lower taxes and less regulation, Congressional term limits, a strong national defense, including securing our borders and fighting Terrorism, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of life and family values that are the foundation of the our nation.   This is the platform supported by the majority of the American people and opposed by Obama and the Socialist Party of America.

We have to put on our hip boots and drain the swamp in Washington DC and many state capitols to roll back 100 years of Socialist Creep that is destroying our country.   We can do it.   We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life.   Socialism, Obama's path for our country, will only lead to poverty, misery and a lower standard of living for all Americans.   We can't let that happen.   We must elect Mitt Romney, the next President of the United States and gain complete Republican control of Congress.  It is the only way to end the danger to our country.

Obama Just Plain Delusional

Socialist President Obama is out on the campaign trail trying to convince the American people that his Socialist Schemes have worked to restore economic growth and job creation.   This President must be on medical marijuana, or some other drugs, because Obama is either just plain delusional, or a liar.  Obama has added more than $5 Trillion to the $16 Trillion National Debt, including his $1 Trillion SwindleUS Plan, with no end in sight and yet we are facing another Recession.  

The outcome has been official unemployment of more than 8% for 41 straight months.  Black unemployment exceeds 14.4%.  Hispanic unemployment exceeds 11%.  The real unemployment rate overall exceeds 15% when all are counted, the unemployed, the underemployed working part time that want full time jobs and those that have just given up looking for work altogether.  Thank You, Mr. President. 

46 million Americans are on Food Stamps, up 26 million since Obama took office.   9 million Americans are on Disability, up 1 million since Obama was elected.  Millions of Americans are on Welfare and Medicaid as 67 million Americans receive some kind of government assistance.  The poverty rate is higher today than when Bush II was President.  The price of gas is double what it was during the last days of the Bush II Administration.  The home foreclosure rate is the highest in American history.   Gross Domestic Product has fallen to about 1% as we are moving toward a double dip Recession.  

Socialist President Obama practices Class Warfare to divide the Makers in society from his PEEP's, the Takers; those that pay no income taxes at all, those on the dole, public employee union members, illegal aliens, radical environmentalists, trial lawyers and crony capitalist supporters.   Obama is now desperate so expect more lies, since he has a record of failure that is indefensible.  

We have to take back our country by electing Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States and a Republican Congress in 2012 and 2014.   We must make Obama, this incompetent President with no real life experience, a one termer.   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, when you hear Obama on the campaign trail just remember that cards talk and numbers don't lie; but Socialists will lie, cheat or steal to stay in office feeding at the trough.   President Pinocchio Obama will do, or say anything to stay in office.  Obama's dismal record is what it is.  Obama can say what ever he wants; but the reality is that President Obama has failed miserably.

Senator Harry Reid Brings Home The Bacon

Socialist Senator Dirty Harry Reid, the US Senate Majority Leader consistently brings home the bacon and there are many in Nevada who love him for it; but not this Blogger because I know it is often borrowed money leading to the bankruptcy of the United States.   Pork Barrel spending means that each Member of Congress is often evaluated on their ability to bring home federal money to their districts, or states.  All fine and dandy, except that often we end up with bridges to no where.  In our case, there is a about an 8 mile freeway bypass connecting Reno and Carson City, Nevada that is unnecessary. 

This new freeway that must have cost $50 - $100 million and maybe more, is an engineering marvel built on the side of a mountain at about 6,000 feet above sea level.   This is a particularly expensive stretch of freeway because it contains three or four bridges, one of which really is an incredible structure.  The only problem with this picture is that there is a perfectly good four lane highway, already built, that connects Reno and Carson City so that this freeway by pass for about 8 miles of the 20 mile trip really was not needed.  Further, since it snows in Northern Nevada, there is a pretty good chance that this stretch of the journey will be unsafe and maybe even impassable during the winter because of its elevation.   

My concern is that these federal highway dollars are being spent in Nevada just because Reid could make it happen, not because it makes any sense, when we have complete grid lock in many other major cities of the country.  It is all about priorities.   Adding 8 miles of expensive freeway in Northern Nevada, that is unnecessary, will do absolutely nothing to create long term economic activity and badly needed jobs in our region since there was already a perfectly good four lane highway that could accommodate what little traffic we have in Northern Nevada.  If this money could only be spent on highway development, it would have been better spent on US 80, the major east west corridor connecting California with Nevada and all points east.  There is major renovation in progress on US 80 and adding even more to it would have been beneficial to speed that project along. 

And, if this sort of thing is happening in Northern Nevada, you can bet it is happening all over the country.   While these were federal highway dollars that may not have been interchangeable, this money if it was spent at all would have been better invested in the University of Nevada, Reno to make it a major high tech, or energy center of excellence to attract business to Nevada.  Or, since Tourism is still the number one industry in Nevada, we could have used a state of the art Performing Arts Center to stage all sorts of entertainment, built as a public private partnership.   Again, this investment would have created long term economic growth and jobs for the next 50 years.  

In addition, Senator Dirty Harry Reid brought home the bacon once again to support the compensation, benefits and pensions of firemen in Northern Nevada, for the next few years, because the city and county in Reno could not afford to pay them.   Again all fine and dandy, except that the reason the city and county cannot afford to pay our firemen is because their overall cost is unsustainable.   The average union fireman in the Reno area earns $120,000 - $180,000.   We have battalion chiefs earning about $300,000 a year.  Firemen in Reno, like many other parts of the country, get incredible pensions, far in excess of what is common in the private sector. 

And, while we all support our first responders and want them to earn a good living, often for risking their life's, the reality is that in many cases they earn far more than many other professionals in the private sector working and paying taxes to support public employees.   So when Senator Dirty Harry Reid brought home the bacon to support his PEEP's in the fire department, it prevented logical renegotiation of union contracts governing fireman.   This again is another case of Reid bringing home the bacon, at the expense of all American taxpayers, without really solving the problem.   This is happening all over America as a lot of Obama's SwindleUS Plan money was spent to do this very thing.

The reason this is all relevant is that Socialist President Obama and his pals in Congress, including Senator Dirty Harry Reid, want to raise taxes on the Makers in society that already pay 90% of the taxes in our country to give to the Takers; their PEEP's, those that pay no income taxes at all, those on the dole, public union employees, illegal aliens, radical environmentalist, trial lawyers and crony capitalist supporters.   This Blogger could support higher taxes if they were really needed to balance our budget and pay of our National Debt; but the reality is that there is so much waste, corruption and redundancy, at all levels of government, that the last thing we should do it give crooked bureacrats, politicians and public employee unions even more of our hard earned money to fund bridges to no where, exhorbitant pension to public employees, welfare to people that can work and more Solydra's. 

Every time I look at that freeway bypass between Reno and Carson City, I see why we must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.   To do so, we must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama out of office in the upcoming elections.   We must elect Conservatives that support free market capitalism, limited government, a balance budget, paying off the National Debt, Congressional Term Limits, a strong National Defense that includes 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.  For the most part, this is the Republican Party Platform supported by the majority of the American people.

We must elect Mitt Romney the next President of the United States and gain control of the Congress, as well as, state governments, to roll back 100 years of Socialist Creep.   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.   No doubt there are pork barrel boondoggles in your region and state.   Just look around and you will see them.   They have to stop.

Importance Of The Second Amendment

It is no coincidence that our Founding Fathers listed the right to bear arms as the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution, positioning this right in importance just after the First Amendment that guarantees freedom of speech, religion and assembly.   Our Founding Fathers were educated and learned the lessons of history well.   As such, they knew that for more than 5,000 years of organized government, in one form or another, the state has been used for good and for evil.  

Those patriots that formulated our Constitution had recently fought the Revolutionary War to rid themselves and our country of a dictatorial King, who ruled by Divine Right, not the will of the people.  Our Founding Fathers knew very well that without guns in the hands of the citizenry, it would have been impossible to prevail against the British, which at the time was the most powerful nation in the world. 

Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence and eventually became our third President conceded that no matter their good intentions, it might be that one day the government of the United States, left to the designs of men, could become tyrannical and an enemy of the people requiring another revolution.   For that reason, Jefferson supported the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms as a last resort in the event democracy as originally designed, failed to guarantee the freedom that was intended by our Founding Fathers.  To be clear, our Founding Fathers wrote and ratified the Constitution to limit the power of government, not to expand it. 

Unfortunately, during 100 years of Socialist Creep, we have seen our freedoms eroded so much so that today, the federal government intrudes into all aspects of daily life as was never intended by our Founding Fathers.  In addition, unless we get deficit spending under control and soon and pay off our $16 Trillion National Debt,  it is very likely that the United States will face the equivalent of bankruptcy and the financial chaos and calamity that will follow, as is happening in Greece and other countries.   If this occurs, we will see civil strife on our streets.  Our government could collapse, or be forced to take on dictatorial powers.  If these things come to pass, which will surely happen if we don't get our financial house in order, ordinary citizens may need to protect themselves, both from mobs in the streets and our government.   All of this may sound ridiculous; but similar scenarios have occurred in other countries throughout history.  

Further let us not forget that government was used to enforce and support slavery and discrimination in the United States for more than 200 years.   In addition,  Socialist President Franklin Roosevelt used the power of government to round up Japanese Americans during World War II and put them in prison camps causing them to lose everything they owned.  And, the EPA Gestapo regularly tramples on property rights.  Eminent domain is often used by government to confiscate real property from Americans not for public use, as was originally intended; but for private use taking land from one person to give it to another person for personal gain.   Finally, the Supreme Court recently ruled in the ObamaCare Case that government can use its taxing authority to compel any behavior.   So government in America if often a threat to our freedom and unfortunately must be feared.  

No doubt, as we face another tragic mass killing in Colorado by a madman, there will be calls to limit, or even eliminate the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, by Socialists and other left wing radicals in our country.    This is nothing new.  And, while there should be legal mechanisms in place to prevent convicted criminals and those with mental impairment from buying guns,  this tragic incident should not be used as an excuse to limit law abiding citizens from buying guns.  Obviously, millions of Americans own guns for their personal protection, or hunting and have never murdered anyone.   The fact that every once in a while some lunatic uses guns to kill is no excuse to limit Second Amendment Rights. 

The reality is that any determined lunatic, or Terrorist that chooses to commit mass murder can build bombs, or use gases, or poisons, or airplanes as bombs to kill far more people than is possible using a gun.   Banning guns, or making it impossible for law abiding citizens to buy guns will not prevent the occasional lunatic, or Terrorist from committing a heinous crime.  Unfortunately, it is what it is.  To do that, we must do a better job identifying these deranged people before they commit the crime.   And, Hollywood needs to stop glorifying violence and murder in the movies and TV, which desensitizes unstable individuals to commit acts of murder. 

This issue is about protecting freedom.  All should remember that one of the first things the NAZI's and Communists did when taking power in Germany, the Soviet Union, Cuba and China was to ban guns.   These totalitarian regimes committed mass murder in the name of their crazy ideologies.  If the citizenry was armed, it would have been far more difficult for the dictators that ran these countries to commit their heinous crimes.  World history may have been altered dramatically and perhaps the deaths of millions of people could have been averted if the citizenry had guns.    

Our Founding Fathers got it right when the added the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms to the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution.  Ultimately, when all else fails, the people must have a means of defending themselves from politicians, running a government, that would commit murder to stay in power, or in the event of civil strife.  Socialists, throughout history, including those in our government today want to take away the right of the people to own guns.   We can't allow that to happen because it is a road to tyranny and a loss of our freedom. 

We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to protect our Second Amendment Rights among many other reasons.  To do so, we must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014.   We must elect Conservatives that support the Constitution, as it was designed by our Founding Fathers, including the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms.  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, when you hear Socialists and the lame stream, left wing media calling for elimination of the Second Amendment and or banning gun sales to law abiding citizens, beware their words.  Socialists throughout history have been both a threat and an enemy to freedom.

Pelosi Won't Release Tax Returns

Former Socialist Speaker of the House Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi from San Francisco, along with most members of Congress, will not release their tax returns.  The question is why not?  What are they hiding?  In fact, a major newspaper has asked all members of Congress to release their tax returns.  Only 17 have done so.   So while Socialists in Congress and President Obama are calling on Mitt Romney to release more than just the last two years of his tax returns, as Romney has done,  Nancy Pelosi, now the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives and Socialist Senator Dirty Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority of leader of the US Senate, will not release their tax returns.  

The reality is that members of Congress control all kinds of legislation that could potentially be a conflict of interest depending on their personal holdings.   We need to know how it is that members of Congress earning $174,000 a year, that have to maintain two homes, all seem to end up as millionaires after serving 10 or more years in Congress.  Could it be insider trading, which until recently was permissible.  Remember, Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading; but not members of Congress.   And, then there were those sweet heart deals many members of Congress got from Countrywide Mortgage because they were "friends of Angelo", Countrywide's CEO. 

Mitt Romney is being criticized for his investments, which by the way are in a blind trust not even controlled by him.  We need to know more about the investments of members of Congress.  Could it be that they have foreign bank accounts, or investments overseas.  Why won't Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid release their tax returns.  Both are millionaires.   Harry Reid is known for his shady real estate deals in Nevada.   Nancy Pelosi got millions of dollars allocated to making improvements to support a privately owned wine train in Napa Valley, California as part of Obama's SwindleUS Plans.  Pelosi also happens to be an owner of a swank hotel in Napa.  Coincidence, I think not.   

We need complete transparency in all levels of government.   Mitt Romney has met the test by releasing the last two years of his tax returns.   All members of Congress, some of whom are crooks, need to do the same.  These characters have been feeding at the trough for years enriching themselves and their families.  It is about time we see how they are funding their bank accounts.  Harry Reid's family members are paid lobbyists in Washington making millions lobbying guess who, Dirty Harry.   

This is another reason why we need a Constitutional Amendment requiring Term Limits for members of Congress.  There are just too many crooks running around Washington DC and many state capitols.   We have to put on our hip boots and drain the swamp in Washington and many of our state capitols.   When we do so, those that are crooks will scurry around like rats on a sinking ship.  

We must take back our country by sweeping these hypocrite Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014.   We must elect Mitt Romney the next President of the United States and gain control of both House of Congress by electing Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 to help clean up 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.   In the mean time, call your Congressman or woman, or your Senators and tell them to release the last two years of their tax returns.  If Mitt Romney can do it, so can they.

Senseless Crimes & Murder In America

Once again, we see a senseless crime and mass murder in the United States, this time once again in Colorado in a theater.  A deranged gunman went into a theater in Aurora, Colorado and murdered 12 people and wounded 59 others.  This is a tragedy; but it is important that we draw the right conclusions from this senseless act of violence.   At some point, once the tears subside, Socialist President Obama and his supporters will use this incident as an excuse to call for more gun control and limiting of Second Amendment rights. 

The reality is that this act of violence has nothing to do with the gun that was used by the murderer.   Millions of Americans own guns; but obviously they don't go out and murder people.  Further, the Oklahoma bomber that destroyed a federal building, killing and injuring many people, did not use a gun; but rather deployed some kind of fertilizer bomb.  Violence is not about guns at all.  In fact, if the objective is to murder many more people, a gun is not the most effective means to accomplish the goal.  Bombs, various gases and poisons could kill far more people when used by a determined madman.  And, then there was 9/11 when Terrorists used airplanes as the weapon of mass destruction. 

More often than not these murderers come from dysfunctional families.   There is usually some family basis for this lunacy.   Children that are raised in healthy, loving families are much less likely to commit crimes, unless perhaps they suffer from mental illness that is not environmental.   And, these murderers don't just appear one day without signs early in life.   If parents are dysfunctional, then schools must do a better job of identifying kids that may suffer from mental illness, or that have experienced child abuse, sexual molestation, or bullying at school, which is also often the basis for these crimes later in life. 

In many ways, this horrible crime is a by product of the culture war that is going on in our country.   There is good and evil in our society and we must be prepared to say so.   There is right and wrong in our country and again, we must be prepared to say so.   Hollywood glorifies violence in the movies and on TV so for many deranged people murder is make believe.  These issues are crystal clear, yet there are apologists in our country that attempt to rationalize anti social behavior as a result of poverty, discrimination, or for many other reasons that are phony baloney.  Kids must be disciplined when the do something wrong.  This doesn't mean beatings; but it should mean meaningful penalties to teach right from wrong and good from evil.  As a Christian, this Blogger believes that the devil if often at work in these murders.

It is hard enough to raise kids in a loving family with a Mom and a Dad, which is the best chance of success.   Single parent families are much more likely to live in poverty.   Having children out of wedlock, a Hollywood common practice, is not a good thing; not only because as many believe it violates religious tradition; but because it often leads to dysfunctional parent/child relationships.   These dysfunctional families are more likely to produce dysfunctional kids.  Well dah!

Of course, you will never hear this common sense from President Obama and his Socialist Pals in Congress because it may be offensive to many of their PEEP's, but this truth is obvious and can be demonstrated by many studies that draw my conclusions.    If the government has any role to play in all of this, it is to support normal, healthy, two parent families as the foundation of our nation and to rate violent movies and TV as inappropriate for kids under 18. 

Both President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney live that traditional family life; but Mitt Romney is much more likely to stand up for traditional family values, perhaps because of his Mormon background, which is one more reason, we must elect Mitt Romney, the next President of the United States.   When Nancy Reagan took on the drug problem, by saying "Just Say No", the lame stream left wing media laughed at her as being simplistic.   President Mitt Romney will stand up and say, Just Say Yes to the traditional family because it is the foundation of our nation.   We will never hear those words from Socialist President Obama.

Schumer - Pushing to Limit Freedom of Speech

New York Socialist Senator Chuckie Schumer is pushing for limits on First Amendment Freedom of Speech Rights related to political campaigns.  Socialists in Congress are also pushing for full disclosure of names and presumably addresses related to campaign contributions since the Supreme Court upheld the right of all Americans, or Corporations to donate to political campaigns.  The Socialists are scared to death of Political Action Committees funded by anonymous "rich" people.  Of course, big money union contributions are no problem for Socialists because union cronies are their PEEP's.  Remember, Socialists, including President Obama, hate the rich and successful, those earning more than $250,000 a year, which include more than 1 million Small Businesses.

Socialists want these anonymous donors publicly identified so they can picket their homes and businesses and perhaps have the IRS Gestapo audit their tax returns.  Can you just imagine what Socialists would do with this information.   MSNBC, the Mindless Socialist News Network and others in the lame stream left wing media would do everything possible to demonize people donating to PAC's that support Republican campaigns or limited government.  They already do that now.   Fortunately, the Republicans in Congress will never allow this new Socialist Scheme to become law. 

This is all about Obama Chicago style ugly politics of intimidation.    Remember, Socialists, including President Obama, will lie, cheat or steal to say in office, feeding at the trough.   This latest move is just one more indication that Socialists do not support the US Constitution.   Freedom of Speech is Freedom of Speech and it should not be abridged unless is causes irreparable damage or harm.   Politicians are in the public domain and must expect criticism no matter how odious at times.   We have experienced 100 years of Socialist Creep that threatens our very freedom.  ObamaCare is just the latest example of Socialist Creep that seeks to control all aspects of daily life.   Schumer's attempt to limit Freedom of Speech should be no surprise.

We all have to stand up and say HELL NO to Senator Chuckie Schumer and any other Socialists that seek to limit our freedom.   We are dealing with the enemy within, as much a threat to our freedom as any external enemy we have ever faced.  This is just one more reason we must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014.  These characters are a clear and present danger to our nation and our freedom.  

We must take back our country to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States and to stop all these crazy Socialist Schemes designed to limit our freedom.   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 have to put on our hip boots and clean out the swamp in Washington DC and many state capitols.  It will be dirty, stinky work; but since Socialism always leads to a loss of freedom, misery, poverty, a lower standard of living and in some countries even murder, we must act and act this year.  We must act to prevent these Socialists from prevailing in America by throwing them all out of office in 2012 and 2014

Environmental Radicals Kill More Jobs

Coal companies in Wyoming are working with investors to get new ports approved in Washington and Oregon that would allow them to transport coal by train to these ports for shipment to China.  This could be a billion dollar business that would result in very good paying mostly union jobs in the Pacific Northwest, as well as, additional coal mining jobs.  Socialist President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency and his environmental radical supporters are doing everything they can to stop these ports from being built since they oppose all carbon based energy sources.   Farmers along the route complain that coal dust will be released as the trains go by damaging their crops even though it is possible to spray the coal with some type of chemical to prevent coal dust from being released. 

The real issue is that environmental radicals do not want this coal going to China to power the coal fired plants that they are building all over their country because of the global pollution potential.  Look, nobody supports dirty air, or water as contended by Socialists and radical environmentalists including the people of China.  Since there are thousands of jobs involved, we really need an Environmental Solutions Agency focused on development of cleaner, cheaper energy, rather than an Environmental Protection Agency, Obama's Gestapo, that is a job killer. 

We need a 50 year, all of the above Energy Plan, that will make the United States energy independent.  We need more research and development to make existing energy sources including clean coal, oil, oil and gas shale, natural gas, bio fuels and nuclear energy safer, cleaner and cheaper to create millions of jobs and maintain our standard of living.  And, yes there should also be research on pie in the sky renewables that are not really very feasible today.   Unfortunately, since President Obama and his Socialist pals in Congress are held hostage by their radical environmental supporters, emboldened by stopping the Keystone Pipeline, the United States will not have a reasonable Energy Plan as long as these Socialists remain in office. 

This is just another reason we must make Obama a one term President and sweep Socialists at all levels of government out of office in 2012 and 2014.  We have to take back our country to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.  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, we must prevent environmental radicals from killing even more jobs.

ObamaCare - 26 New Taxes

Socialist President Obama has promised many times that he would never raise taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000.  Well guess what, like on so many things, Obama LIED.  ObamaCare has 26 new taxes in it, 75% of which will hit the Middle Class.  Let's start with the infamous Mandate requiring that all buy Medical Insurance.   By 2016, families will have to pay about $2,085 if they cannot afford to buy medical insurance.  The IRS Gestapo will take the money right out of your paycheck. Next up is the Medicine Cabinet Tax, which eliminates various over the counter drugs from Medical Savings Accounts, which effectively increases taxable income.  Obama has further limited the amount of money people can put in Flexible Spending Accounts to $2,500 again effectively raising taxable income. 

In addition, Obama has made it harder to use the Medical Itemized Deduction raising the hurdle from 7.5% to 10% of adjusted gross income before anyone can claim medical expenses as a tax deduction, again increasing taxable income.  The early withdrawal of monies from a Medical Savings Account use to result in a 10% tax; now it will be 20%.  God forbid you should go to a tanning salon because now you will pay a 10% tax to get that golden tan you always wanted.  And, if your company chooses to provide you a Cadillac Insurance Plan, giving you great medical insurance coverage, guess what they will have to pay a 40% excise tax, which means bye bye to Cadillac Medical Insurance Plans.

There are 13 other taxes in ObamaCare that apply to business and or people with higher incomes that are job killers.  In fact, independent organizations have estimated that ObamaCare will result in the loss of nearly one million jobs because of all these taxes and fees.   It is only common sense.  If companies see a rise in their expenses, they will hire fewer people and ship more jobs overseas.   There is a 2.3% excise tax on the price of medical devices, which will raise the cost of medical insurance passed on to consumers.  And, for people earning more than $250,000, often small businesses that are the job creators in our country, Capital Gains tax will go from 15% to 23.8% and on Dividends from 15% to 43.4%.  Sub Chapter S Corporations, many small businesses, will see their income tax rate go up from 35% to 43.4%.   Bye, Bye Jobs. 

Studies show that 20 million Americans will lose their company sponsored medical insurance because of ObamaCare.   So much for Obama's promise that you can keep the medical insurance you have now.  Some people will get subsidies to buy insurance on the state or federal exchanges, while many others will be left to pay the full premium, or the fine going without any medical insurance because the cost will be prohibitive.  

ObamaCare must be REPEALED; but it will not happen as long as Obama and his Socialist Pals in Congress remain in office, which is the reason we must sweep them all out of office in 2012 and 2014.   We must make Obama a one term President by electing Mitt Romney, the next President of the United States to restore economic growth, job creation and prosperity again in our country.   We can do it.  We must do it preserve our freedom, our nation and way of living for the sake of our children and grandchildren.  ObamaCare is a monstrosity.  It has to go along with the Socialists that imposed it on the American people.

Obama - Business Success & Government

As the founder and owner of a global business, this Blogger's blood is boiling because Socialist President Obama has proclaimed that business owners owe their success to the federal government.  This President, who has accomplished nothing of importance in his life, has no clue what it takes to build a business and or create jobs.

As a business owner, I must ask the President, where was he and the federal government when I, like so many other business owners, had to sign my name risking our home and all our personal assets to get credit.  And oh, by the way, that has continued to this day, 22 years after founding my company.  And, where was President Obama and the federal government as business owners work 7/24 to build their businesses dealing with intrusive government bureaucracy during good and bad times. 

Obama has concluded that business owners owe our success to the federal government's building of infrastructure.   Who in the Hell does Obama think has paid for that infrastructure, through our taxes and fees paid to all levels of government.   As a Socialist, Obama has a very twisted view of government.   We pay for and own the government, not the other way around.

We have got to make Obama a one term President in 2012 by electing Mitt Romney the next President of the United States.  Obama is the most anti business President in American history.   Obama hates free market capitalism and capitalists.   This President is a clear and present danger to our nation and our people.   While Obama may have been born in the United States, he is not an American in his thinking.   The business of America is business.   70% of Americans work for small businesses, the very people Obama continues to demonize and wants to pay higher taxes. 

Obama and his Socialist Pals in Congress are job killers.   After borrowing and spending a trillion dollars on Obama's SwindleUS Plans and enacting ObamaCare, we still have 25 million people either unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work, or who have just given up looking for work altogether.   46 million Americans are on Food Stamps, up 26 million since Obama was elected.  9 million Americans are on Disability benefits, up 1 million since Obama was elected.  The poverty rate is up.   The foreclosure rate is the highest in American history.   Socialist President Obama has wrecked our economy. 

We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.   We must sweep Socialists at all levels of government, out of office, including President Obam 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 restore economic growth and job creation again in America.  In the mean time, when you hear Obama on the campaign trail, always remember that Obama as a Socialist will lie, cheat or steal to stay in office feeding at the trough. 

We are dealing with President Pinocchio, so nothing Obama says can be believed.   As a Chicago politician, we can expect dirty politics.  That is just how Obama and his cronies play the game.   All business owners should see Obama as the clear and present danger that he is to our nation.

The Green Party - Socialists & Communists

The Green Party, composed of radical environmentalists, held their Convention to nominate a Presidential candidate in 2012.  Dr. Jill Stein, a doctor from Massachusetts, was chosen as their standard bearer to take on both Mitt Romney and Socialist President Obama.   Currently, the Green Party has qualified in 21 states; but they expect to be on the ballot in 45 states by election day.   While Dr. Stein, representing the Green Party, will not win the Presidency, it is possible that she could be a spoiler, as was the case with Ralph Nader in Florida in 2000, who many believe cost Al Gore the Presidency. 

While it is hard to be believe that any political party could be further left than Obama's Socialist Party of America, the Green Party is much further left, since it is composed of both avowed Socialists and Communists.   The Green Party Platform does not just focus on radical environmentalism as many might believe; but also on confiscation of wealth through much higher taxation and every other left wing, crazy idea conceivable.  This is the connection that Black Activist and Communist Van Jones, who resigned from the Obama Administration, makes between "social justice" (translation redistribution of income) and environmentalism.   It is really an unholy alliance until you look at some of the people involved in the Green Party.   

Many of the older members of the Green Party are the druggie Flower Children of the 60's that never grew up.  Younger members of the Green Party have been indoctrinated in both radical environmentalism and Socialism by their public school teachers for years.   They apparently drank the Kool Aide.  The good news is that if Green Party gets 1 - 5% of the vote in any of the close swing states, they could cost Obama the Presidency.   So, more power to them.   In a perverse way, the Green Party could help Conservatives take back our country in 2012 and 2014, since their voting patterns are likely to impact state and Congressional races, as well.   

It will be great if the Green Party helps elect Conservatives by splitting the Socialist vote; but we also should listen to what they are saying because they represent some percentage of the population that is anti-American.   Members of the Green Party literally hate the things that have made our country great; limited government, free market capitalism, low taxes and less regulations and a strong military.   As such, adherents to Green Party ideology are a clear and present danger to our country.  

To the extent that the Green Party splits the Socialist vote, it will make it easier for Conservatives to win the Presidency, take back the Congress and win many state races.  As such, they may do us a big favor.  However, we can never allow Green Party candidates to win office because they would be even worse than Obama and his Socialist pals in Congress.   This is a very radical movement to say the least. 

We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping Socialists at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.   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.   Socialism always results in a lower standard of living, poverty, misery and historically in some cases even murder.  Whether Socialism is packaged as Obama's Socialist Party of America, or the Green Party,  it is evil and must stopped.   We need to roll back 100 years of Socialist Creep that threatens our freedom and well being.   We should fear these Socialists that want to intrude and control every aspect of daily life.   Instead, we must all stand up and say HELL NO when voting in 2012 and 2014 by electing Conservatives at all levels of government.

Teacher Union Fat Cats - Feeding At The Trough

While many public school teachers face lay off's and pay cuts and the average teacher in America earns $44,000, their Fat Cat union leaders earn nearly $500,000 a year and about 600 staffers working for the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, the nation's two largest teacher unions, earn six figure salaries.  In fact, total compensation and benefits for Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers and Dennis VanRoekel, President of the National Education Association are nearly $500,000.  

Clearly, these union Fat Cats and supporters of Socialist President Obama are feeding at the trough, in this case, at the expense of their teacher union members.   Of course, I am sure that Weingarten and VanRoekel could argue that they have been responsible for getting teachers compensation, benefits and especially pensions in place that are bankrupting several states.  In addition, Weingarten and VanRoekel could also say that they have made it almost impossible to fire an incompetent teacher.  Further, these union Fat Cats could also say that they have pushed back any reforms holding teachers responsible for academic performance and results.   Most important, Weingarten and VanRoekel have spent millions of dollars fighting any kind of school choice initiative that would provide poor kids, in particular, School Vouchers allowing them to escape failing public schools to go to private schools, just like President Obama and most politician's kids.    

Fat Cat union leaders would justify their high compensation packages, making as much as many CEO for major companies, by all the things they have done for public school teachers that are contrary to the interests of parents and kids.  In that sense, a case could be made for these exorbitant salaries because they have done their jobs well. 

The United States spends more on public education than any other nation in the world, yet we produce poor academic performance and results.   These poor results have coincided with the growth of teacher unions in the last 40 years.   We need to eliminate tenure so that poor teachers can be fired.   We need to provide poor kids School Vouchers to allow them to escape failing inner city public schools.  We need to implement Merit Pay to reward good teachers for outstanding results.  Most important, we need to hold principals and teachers responsible for student's academic performance.  Until these things happen, we will never see any improvement in our public schools.  Of course, teacher unions will never allow these things to happen as long as collective bargaining is still in place, which is the reason we must eliminate collective bargaining for all public employees. 

Public school union teachers will comprise more than 50% of the delegates at Obama's up coming Socialist Convention in North Carolina.   The President and his Socialist pals, at all levels of government are owned, lock, stock and barrel by the teacher unions.   You can bet any time Fat Cats Weingarten or VanRoekel want to talk to President Obama, he will take their call and kiss their feet, or maybe some other parts of their anatomy.   We have to sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014 to improve our public schools.  

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.   Failing public schools are a Socialist legacy.  The only way to impose the reforms needed for our public schools is to elect Conservatives, not beholden to the teacher unions.   We need to elect Mitt Romney, President of the United States and take control of both Houses of Congress to improve our public schools.  Otherwise, poor kids in particular, are destined to suffer in failing public schools.  It is what it is.

Obama Eliminates Work Requirement For Welfare

The Obama Administration has quietly informed states that they can ignore the work requirement that was in the 1996 Temporary Assistance For Needy Family Program signed by President Bill Clinton.   You may recall that Clinton proclaimed,  "we will end Welfare as we know it" when he signed this bi-partisan bill requiring work to get Welfare benefits.  Obama has now told states that work is not a requirement.  There are currently about 4 million Americans on Welfare.   And, actually after this 1996 law was put into effect the number of people on Welfare declined.   We will now see the number of people dependent on  federal government assistance increase, Obama's objective, since the work requirement will surely be eliminated in Socialist run Blue states. 

Naturally, Republicans in Congress are all over this new Obama Executive Order because it is a violation of the law.   This is just one more example of Obama taking care of his PEEP's to win reelection.  Obama is so desperate for votes that like all Socialists, he will lie, cheat or steal to stay in office.  In this case, Obama is stealing from the American people as he continues to push for tax increases to fund all his Socialist Schemes.  

We have got to take back our country in 2012 and 2014, by sweeping these Socialists at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.  During Obama's first term in office he has added $5 Trillion to the $16 Trillion National Debt with no end in sight.   46 million people are now on Food Stamps.  9 million people are now collecting Disability benefits.   4 million people are on Welfare with million more on Medicaid.   In all, about 67 million Americans are receiving some kind of government check with more on the way if Obama remains in office.  It has to stop; but the only way it will stop is if we make Obama a one term President and sweep his Socialist pals in Congress out of office.  

We can do it.  We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren.   This new Obama Executive Order in violation of the law eliminating the work rule to obtain Welfare is just one more example of Obama acting against the interests of the American people.  We must elect Mitt Romney President of the United States and a Republican Congress in 2012 to bring sanity back to our government.

ObamaCare Must Be Repealed

The US House of Representatives, under Republican leadership, voted once again to REPEAL ObamaCare.   All Republicans and 5 Democrats in the House voted for Repeal.   All other Socialists in the House, led by air head Congresswomen Nancy Pelosi, of San Francisco voted to keep ObamaCare the law of the land.   Of course, this vote was just symbolic because the US Senate, led by Socialist Senator Dirty Harry Reid of Nevada and President Obama, will not allow REPEAL of ObamaCare to come to vote in the US Senate.   Nevertheless, Socialists in the House are now once again on record as supporting $500 in cuts to Medicare and $500 Billion in new taxes, 75% of which will hit the Middle Class in our country.   The reality is that ObamaCare is nothing more than another redistribution of income Socialist Scheme designed to confiscate money from the Makers in society to give it to the Takers.   Good or bad, it is what it is. 

ObamaCare, the government takeover of the US health care system, one sixth of our economy, must be REPEALED; but it will only happen if Mitt Romney is elected President and the Congress is taken over by Republicans.   Now that people have actually read this 2,700 page monstrosity, we know what the outcome of ObamaCare will be for our nation and our people.   800,000 - 1,000,000 jobs will be lost if ObamaCare is put into effect.  20,000,000 Americans will lose their company sponsored health care medical insurance.  ObamaCare will cost more than a Trillion dollars over ten years that we will have to borrow from the Chinese and others contributing to the bankruptcy of the United States. 

ObamaCare mandated additional Medicaid coverage will bankrupt the states and or require huge state tax increases.  22 million Senior Citizens will lose their Medicare Advantage HMO programs requiring them to buy Medigap policies to get the same coverage at a cost of $300 - $500 a month.  Medical insurance premiums will go up dramatically as a result of all the mandated "free" services required by ObamaCare.  In other words, ObamaCare is a lousy deal for the American people.

We do need real patient centered health care reform that brings down costs.   Americans should have be allowed expanded medical savings accounts to pay for deductibles and other medical expenses.  Medical premium should be tax deductible whether you work for a company or you buy medical insurance yourself.  We should be able to buy medical insurance across state lines and through various Associations to encourage competition.   Frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits, that drive up costs and only benefit trial lawyers, should be limited.  Discrimination by insurance companies on the basis of Pre Existing Conditions should be prohibited.   Medicaid should be block granted to the states to provide for medical care for the poor.  But otherwise, creating an entirely new entitlement, when Social Security, Disability Coverage, Medicare and Medicaid are all headed toward in insolvency and we have a $16 Trillion National Debt, with no end in sight is just plain Socialist insanity. 

We have to take back our country to REPEAL ObamaCare.   We must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.   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.  ObamaCare is the tip of the Socialist iceberg.  In fact, we must roll back 100 years of Socialist Creep that intrudes into every aspect of daily life.   We have to put on our hip boots and drain the swamp in Washington DC and many state capitols to get our nation back on track to restore economic growth, job creation and prosperity once again in the the United States.

Mitt Romney Is Rich - So What

Socialist President Obama cannot run on his failed economic record because the numbers are so dismal, so Obamanistas are scrambling for issues each week to change the subject from the Economy, ObamaCare, Energy Production and National Defense, the real issues of this Presidential Election Campaign.   In the process, as part of his Class Warfare strategy, Obama is attempting to paint Mitt Romney as a rich, greedy, capitalist, tax cheat with overseas investments and accounts.  

First, to be clear, the majority of US Presidents from George Washington, to none other than Barack Obama, as well as, many candidates for the Presidency, throughout our history have been "rich".   And, would we really want it in any other way.   Would we really want to elect someone to the Presidency with no other accomplishments in life.   Some, like the Roosevelt's and John Kennedy, who were rich inherited their family's money.  Others, like Mitt Romney made it the old fashioned way by getting a great education and working very hard to become rich.   There is no crime in realizing the American dream to become rich.  Further, the poor are not poor because the rich are rich.  The poor are poor because they lack education, marketable job skills and or the intelligence, or willingness to work hard to raise themselves out of poverty. 

And, while Obama has never had a real job in business and has otherwise accomplished very little in life,  other than produce two attractive, presumably smart daughters, Obama's money came from his book deals as a published author.  Obama is reported to be worth about $7 million, which by any definition is rich.  Mitt Romney is richer, reported to be worth over $250 million because Romney was a successful, risk taker who spent 25 years in business.   Contrary to President Obama, Mitt Romney knows what it is to create jobs and make payroll.   

And, while Mitt Romney was advantaged in that he came from an upper class, well connected family, Mitt Romney is otherwise completely self made.  Aside from his business experience, Mitt Romney has been a great dad to five sons and husband and together the Romney's donate millions of dollars each year to various charities.   By any standard, Mitt Romney is a positive role model for all Americans.

Yet, Obamanistas try to paint Mitt Romney as an evil capitalists because he is rich and has diversified global investments in a blind trust.   What is Romney supposed to do with his money, bury it in a tomato can in the backyard?  What all should know is that unlike many other countries, American citizens are taxed on world wide income.  So, it really does not matter where Mitt Romney has invested his family money.  When all is said and done, Mitt Romney, who is meticulously honest and ethical, has paid US taxes on all his family investments in accordance with the law. 

But remember, Socialists, including President Obama, will lie, cheat, or steal to remain in office feeding at the trough.   We are seeing this in all the negative commercials being run by Obamanistas.   In fact, independent groups have awarded Obama several Pinocchio's for all the his lies about Mitt Romney.   Hence the reason this blogger refers to the Obama as President Pinocchio.  Obama's nose has grown so long in this campaign that he soon will need a wheel barrel to carry it around.   

Mitt Romney is rich - So What.   We need to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States.   Obamanistas have added $5 Trillion to our $16 Trillion National Debt in just Obama's first term in office with no end in sight.  Obama, as Jimmy Carter II, who does not understand Economics 101, has made such a mess of our economy that we must make him a one term President to restore economic growth and create jobs and prosperity again in America.   Romney understands prosperity and wealth creation.  In this case, though Obama is rich too; let's elect Mitt Romney because his wealth did not come from writing an ego driven autobiography; but rather from growing businesses and actually creating jobs in the United States.  i.e. Staples and many other companies. 

We must elect Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States and take control of the Congress in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama out of office 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.  In the mean time, Mitt Romney does not need to apologize for being successful and "rich".   If anything, we should all look to people like Mitt Romney as role models who demonstrate the American Dream for all to immolate.
