Lot's Of Work Ahead America!

Hey Karzai, Are You A Moron?

On Saturday, President Hamid Karzai had urged NATO to do more to protect civilians during combat operations to secure Marjah.

How about Karzai gets off his high horse and directs all civilians out of the area? How about we give them 7 more days to leave, and then we tell them anyone left will be considered an enemy combatant? Then how about we take pro-active measures to win this war!?

Seems like a no brainer to me, and yet here we are with the President of Afghanistan asking us to be careful of Afghan "civilians" in a WAR ZONE!!!!!

Get a grip!!!

Constitutional Conservatism: A Statement for the 21st Century

We recommit ourselves to the ideas of the American Founding. Through the Constitution, the Founders created an enduring framework of limited government based on the rule of law. They sought to secure national independence, provide for economic opportunity, establish true religious liberty and maintain a flourishing society of republican self-government.

These principles define us as a country and inspire us as a people. They are responsible for a prosperous, just nation unlike any other in the world. They are our highest achievements, serving not only as powerful beacons to all who strive for freedom and seek self-government, but as warnings to tyrants and despots everywhere.


Each one of these founding ideas is presently under sustained attack. In recent decades, America’s principles have been undermined and redefined in our culture, our universities and our politics. The selfevident truths of 1776 have been supplanted by the notion that no such truths exist. The federal government today ignores the limits of the Constitution, which is increasingly dismissed as obsolete and irrelevant.


Some insist that America must change, cast off the old and put on the new. But where would this lead — forward or backward, up or down? Isn’t this idea of change an empty promise or even a dangerous deception?


The change we urgently need, a change consistent with the American ideal, is not movement away from but toward our founding principles. At this important time, we need a restatement of Constitutional conservatism grounded in the priceless principle of ordered liberty articulated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.


The conservatism of the Declaration asserts self-evident truths based on the laws of nature and nature’s God. It defends life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It traces authority to the consent of the governed. It recognizes man’s self-interest but also his capacity for virtue.


The conservatism of the Constitution limits government’s powers but ensures that government performs its proper job effectively. It refines popular will through the filter of representation. It provides checks and balances through the several branches of government and a federal republic.


A Constitutional conservatism unites all conservatives through the natural fusion provided by American principles. It reminds economic conservatives that morality is essential to limited government, social conservatives that unlimited government is a threat to moral self-government, and national security conservatives that energetic but responsible government is the key to America’s safety and leadership role in the world.


A Constitutional conservatism based on first principles provides the framework for a consistent and meaningful policy agenda.


* It applies the principle of limited government based on the rule of law to every proposal.
* It honors the central place of individual liberty in American politics and life.
* It encourages free enterprise, the individual entrepreneur, and economic reforms grounded in market solutions.
* It supports America’s national interest in advancing freedom and opposing tyranny in the world and prudently considers what we can and should do to that end.
* It informs conservatism’s firm defense of family, neighborhood, community, and faith.


If we are to succeed in the critical political and policy battles ahead, we must be certain of our purpose. We must begin by retaking and resolutely defending the high ground of America’s founding principles.

Finally! Something articulated by conservative America that's makes perfect sense - "retaking and resolutely defending ... America's founding principles!" Let's hope the Republican Party embraces these principles wholeheartedly, and doesn't forget exactly what America stands for. Otherwise, we'll be looking to form a new Party!

There's Work Ahead America! Let's Go.

Do We Stand A Chance?

.

All the world's great civilizations have followed the same path. From bondage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy back to bondage. If we are to be the exception to history, then we must break the cycle. For those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. - MOLLY JOHNSON, Swing Vote (2008)

We're in the apathy stage, and whether you believe it or not we're rapidly approaching the bondage stage again. Read your history folks. Read about serfdom in the 1500's in Europe. When you do, ask yourself it that's something you want your children to live through. If the answer is no, stay connected and engaged. Continue to contact your Senators and Reps. Again today a sitting Congressman has announced his retirement. This time it's Patrick Kennedy from Rhode Island. These people are afraid of 'we the people', folks- perhaps for the first time in their lives. Certainly for the first time in mine. And only the arrogant and extremely corrupt, or the principled and honorable will be left come election day. Your mission is to determine which is which...

Stay Engaged, America! We Have Work To Do...

I'm Tired

By Robert A. Hall

I'll be 63 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth around" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it.

I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.

I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros, and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela . Won't multiculturalism be beautiful?

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor;" of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers;" of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery;" of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.

I believe "a man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin." I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of US Senators from Illinois.

I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.

I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Sarah Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue, or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming -- which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.

I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next: calling drug dealers "undocumented Pharmacists?" And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military ... Those are the citizens we need.

I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the` uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war? I can tell you from personal experience that they do. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? They sure do - which is not so unexpected given the unimaginable pressure that they teenagers and young men often are under. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are? Not even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes.

The fact is that British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.

I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois , where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet as well.

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called "poor." The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.

I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I'm very tired. But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter.


Robert A.. Hall is a Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.

I have to say, I feel very much as this gentleman does. And I too am sorry for my grandson. So let's do something about it folks! The people DO have the power, we just need to believe it...

Let's Go America, We Have Work To Do!!

Where's Al Gore?

How can this be? We are arguably in one of the coldest winters nationally in half a century. Englamd is experiencing their coldest winter in 100 years! Record snow falls have been experienced throughout the world. And yet, in his infinite wisdom, President Obama insists that he believes that global warming exists because of "the overwhelming preponderence of the evidence". Maybe he just refuses to acknowledge that the evidence was tampered with and manipulated. Stubborn, stubborn!

But during the past few months of winter storm after winter storm, we haven't heard much from Al Gore. Could it be Ol' Al is holed up in his cozy little mansion, sitting by a nice crackling fire in his thick cardigan sweater and comfortable tweed jacket, sipping a glass of cognac to keep warm? You think he might be a tad bit embarassed that he tried to "snow" us all with bad data for personal gain? Don't count on it. He'll be back - just as soon as he can dig his way out of the hole he's in.

Stay Focused America! There's More Work Ahead!

Will You Contact Your Congressmen And Congresswomen?

The time is ripe for some real change. Never before in my lifetime have so many people been politically engaged and felt compelled to affect change in Washington. So I am asking you all to contact your Senators and Representatives currently in office and require them to pass legislation reform that will prevent ear marks (by ANY name) in the future. In my view, and I hope yours, all legislation should pass or fail on it's own merits, not because someone is "buying" someone else's vote or because someone is getting a favor for their state or district. I am also asking that you research how new candidates in your district feel about this issue, and ask them for a specific response on their position so we know how they will vote on this issue when it gets to the floor.

Make no mistake, elected officials in Washington have heard us loud and clear, and they are very worried about the future of their careers. And well they should be. Many are retiring becuase the heat has gotten to hot! If enough of us contact our Congressmen, they will have no option but to propose this bill on the floor for a vote. And when they do, we will know exactly who is part of the 'spending problem" in Washington. We'll know exactly who is unable to commit to a balanced budget, and who is and is not serious about reducing our debt and our deficit.

Who Supports Real Budget Reform?

February 5, 2010


It's time to get serious about reducing federal spending and we believe Republicans need to lead by example.

That is why Senator Jim DeMint, chairman of the Senate Conservatives Fund, sponsored a spending reduction package this week that includes two common-sense budget reforms:


1.Ban congressional earmarks for at least one year so lawmakers can begin to break their addiction to pork-barrel spending.


2.Pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forcing Congress to balance the federal budget each year.


You would think that these two common-sense solutions would be supported by all Republicans. Unfortunately, many Republicans are still addicted to earmarks and will do whatever it takes to keep the congressional favor factory open for business. And believe it or not, there are still some who won't support a Balanced Budget Amendment.


That is why the Senate Conservatives Fund is keeping a list of the Senators who agree to cosponsor both of these important measures. We're not going to reduce spending until we force Congress to end its earmark addiction and we're not going to balance the budget without a mechanism that forces lawmakers to make tough choices.


Please contact your Senators and urge them to cosponsor S.J.Res. 27, the Balanced Budget Amendment, and S.2990, the earmark moratorium.


We're also keeping track of Senate candidates who support these reforms, which will be a factor in future candidate endorsements.


These bills are a start, but they don't go far enough. Our country is in grave jeopardy, and the peril is worsening with each dollar our government spends. We don't have the money! There's lot's of work ahead of us America. Stay on course!!

The Democrats Illuminated

Well, once again it's happened. - the Democrats have passed a bill not becuase it's best for America, but because they have the mojorities in the House and Senate. The Democrats have just passed a vote to raise the debt limit - this time adding 2 TRILLION more dollars to the cap. ARE THESE PEOPLE INSANE?

Every Republican voted against the bill, along with a handful of Democrats who can see the writing on the wall. The Democrats (in general) continue to call the Republican Party the "party of no!", they keep saying that "Americans want to see some agreement". But in my view, there is nothing wrong with saying "no" when the bills are WRONG! I don't want to see agreement for the sake of agreement! Period.

I encourage, and in fact I expect, the conservative members of Congress to vote against the insanity that has gripped Washington for the past 20+ years, but has become terminal since Obama took office.

So, now that the Democrats have illuminated their bias, does it signal their demise in the future? You'll decide!

Come On America - Call Your Senators and Representatives. Keep the momentum going in our favor - not that of the progressives.

Act Of Disgrace!

You may recall pictures of Obama that surfaced during his Presidential Campaign depicting him listening to the Pledge of Allegiance but without his hand over his heart. You may recall his decision not to wear the American Flag pin on his lapel. Well, here's the latest act of disgrace by the man who claims the position of President. Amazing, that this was not on TV! This picture is taken at Fort Hood, TX on November 11th 2009 at a ceremony to honor the thirteen dead Soldiers slain by Nidal Hassan. Obama refused to salute, place his hand over his heart, or even stand at attention as the Honor Guard passes at the Memorial Service for those killed by a fellow terrorist (ahem)... Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this is something new that Obama's introduced to America. You know, more of that change he's always touting... the crotch salute! Nah, can't be.... If this guy hasn't offended you yet, you must be comatose! He's such a moron! There's Work To Do America! Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote!....

Freedom... A Powerful, Living, Emotional Concept, And One Worth Dying Over

Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe and tried to light it?

Did you know his trial is over?
Did you know he was sentenced?
Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV/Radio?
Didn't think so.
Everyone should hear what the judge had to say.

Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything to say.
His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record, Reid also admitted his "allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah," defiantly stated "I think I ought not apologize for my actions," and told the court "I am at war with your country."

Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below, a stinging condemnation of Reid in particular and terrorists in general:

January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid: Judge Young: Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you. On counts 1, 5, and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison, in the custody of the United States Attorney General.

On counts 2, 3, 4, and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutive with the other. That's 80 years. On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years consecutive to the 80 years just imposed. The Court imposes upon you each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 for the aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines. The Court imposes upon you the $800 special assessment.
The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further. This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence. Let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist coconspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is all too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, where we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice.

You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether it is the officers of government who do it or your attorney who does it, or that happens to be your view, you are a terrorist ... And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not treat with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice. So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I know warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal guilty of multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and where the TV crews were and he said you're no big deal.

You're no big deal.

What your counsel, what your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?

I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing. And I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.

It seems to me you hate the one thing that is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very winds carry >>> freedom. They carry it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom. So that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf and have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you before other judges.

We are about it. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bare any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. Day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will long endure. Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done. The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.

See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. You know it always will.

Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.

So, how much of this Judges comments did you hear on our TV sets? We need more judges like Judge Young, but that's another subject. Pass this around. Everyone should and needs to hear what this fine judge had to say. Powerful words that strike home.

What's Your Freedom Worth To You? Time To Get To Work America!

The Wizard Of DC

"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain", or in this case the podium. At least that's what he wants us to do, as he continually makes fundamental change to America and her resposnibilities and former policies in the dark of the night, behind closed doors. Only through vigilant investigation do we find out about these things. Here's the latest moronic decision made by The Wizard of DC.

Obama Surrendering Internet to Foreign Powers

Sunday, 31 Jan 2010 06:41 PM Article Font Size
By: Bradley A. Blakeman


Without the ingenuity of America’s brightest minds and the investment of U.S. taxpayer dollars, there would be no Internet, as we now know it today.

Now, the Obama administration has moved quietly to cede control of the Web from the United States to foreign powers.

Some background: The Internet came into being because of the genius work of Americans Dr.Robert E. Kahn and Dr. Vinton G. Cerf. These men, while working for the Department of Defense in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in the early 1970s, conceived, designed, and implemented the idea of "open-architecture networking."

This breakthrough in connectivity and networking was the birth of the Internet.

These two gentlemen had the vision and the brainpower to create a worldwide computer Internet communications network that forever changed the world and how we communicate in it.

They discovered that providing a person with a unique identifier (TCP/IP)that was able to be recognized and interact through a network of servers would allow users to communicate with others.

The servers woulduse a series of giant receivers to recognize the identifier and connect networks to networks, passing on information from computer to computer in a seamless real-time exchange of information. This new process of communication became know as the "information super highway," aka, the Internet.

Now for the bad news: In an effort to show the world how inclusive, sharing, cooperative, and international America can be, the Obama administration set off on a plan to surrender control and key management of the Internet by the U.S. Department of Commerce and its agents.

The key to the control America has over the Internet is through the management of the Domain Name System (DNS) and the giant servers that service the Internet.

Domain names are managed through an entity named IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. The IANA, which operates on behalf of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is responsible for the global coordination of the DNS, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources.

In short, without an IP Address or other essential Internet protocols, a person or entity would not have access to the Internet.

For years, the international community has been pressuring the United States to surrender its control and management of the Internet. They want an international body such as the United Nations or even the International Telecommunications Union, (an entity that coordinates international telephone communications), to manage all aspects of the Internet in behalf of all nations.

The argument advanced for those seeking international control of the Internet is that the Internet has become such a powerful, pervasive, and a dependent form of international communications, that it would be dangerous and inequitable for any one nation to control and manage it.

Just this past spring, within months of Obama's taking office, his administration, through the Department of Commerce, agreed to relinquish some control over IANA and their governance. The Obama administration has agreed to give greater representation to foreign companies and countries on IANA.

This amounts to one small step for internationalism and one giant leap for surrendering America's control over an invention we have every right and responsibility to control and manage.

It is in America's economic and national security interests not to relinquish any control. We are responsible for the control, operation, and functionality of one of the modern world's greatest inventions and most powerful communications network.

What better country to protect the Internet than the United States?

We invented it, and we paid for the research and implementation that made it possible. We are the freest, most tolerant nation on earth, we believe in the fundamental right of free speech, and we practice a free market of commerce and ideas.

America has always been against censorship and has shared its invention with the world without fee or unreasonable or arbitrary restriction. The user fee to operate on the Internet is not one paid to the U.S. government; a consumer pays it to private Internet companies, who provide access to the Internet through servers for their subscribers.

Look no further than China's recent move against Google to censor the Internet, and you can envision what can happen when other nations less free than the United States seek to control the Internet beyond even their own borders.

America needs to wake up. If we lose control over the management of the Internet, we have given away one of our nation's greatest assets with nothing in return to show for it.

The Obama administration's actions will set in motion a slow and complete takeover of the Internet by the United Nations or some other equally U.S.-hostile and unfriendly international body. And once it is gone, it will be gone forever.

The surrender of the Internet will spell disaster for our nation, financially, as well as for safety, security and our standing as a great power that values freedom and the free exchange of ideas and information.

As far as I am concerned, America is still the last best hope for a more peaceful and prosperous world and our president should not be looking for ways to weaken us. Rather, his job is to work to strengthen us and protect our nation's greatest asset our people's creativity and ingenuity.

Time To Get To Work America! Curb This Imbicile's Power - Vote Out EVERY Progressive You Can Identify!

Economics For Dummies (Congress, Are You Paying Attention?)

Ok, so you're in good shape. You take home $50,000.00 a year - awesome! Uh oh, you just did your 2010 budget. With all your utility and household bills, your discretionary spending for entertainment, clothing, household projects, and charity contributions, and your grocery bill you realize you need $55,000.00 for the year. Crap, you're on a fixed salary. Now what? Well, you have 3 options.

1. Get a second job.
2. Reduce your expenses
3. Borrow the extra $5000.00

Well, #1 is off the table. You can't get a second job, because your commitments won't allow it. And #2 can't be considered because you like the amount and types of food you eat, the entertainment choices you make, and the clothes you buy! And you certainly can't get a less expensive car! Well, that's ok, let's borrow the money! Awesome!

Uh oh, that's gonna add another bill to your monthly expenses. Oh well, let's not worry about that right now. We'll figure it out as we go. Maybe we'll need to borrow more money to help pay our additional bills down the line, we'll see. Yeah, that's a plan! Ok, I feel better now.

Does this sound like good fiscal management? Then why are we allowing our government to do it?

Time To Get Up America! We Have Work To Do!!!

President Barack Obtuse

He just doesn't get it. Is he defiant, or just oblivious? He has just sent Congress the 2011 Budget. As you may recall, he ran up record deficits last year - to the tune of $1.41 TRILLION!! Well, he's at it again. The deficit for 2010 will surpass that - coming in at $1.56 TRILLION, and who knows what it will end up being in 2011. The budget he submitted for 2011 is nearly $4 Trillion, so it stands to reason that the deficit will continue to skyrocket.

This guy has no idea how to be fiscally responsible. He has no idea how to balance a budget. He is a community organizer, and what he knows is how to raise and spend other people's money. He's good at it. He has no regard for the consequences. He's like a kid who won the lottery and just spends and spends.

And no matter how many times he says in a speech "I'm going to freeze spending" or "I'm going to go through the budget line by line" or "I'm going to cut programs that are unnecessary", he doesn't have the discipline to do it properly (if at all). Enough is enough Barack Obtuse! Stop the spending!

And here's a thought for today...

When Ronald Reagan was President, we still had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Now that Obama is President, we have no Hope and no Cash.

Come On America, There's Work To Do!
