It’s Time To Get Serious

Happy New Year everyone!  May God bless you and your families this year.

I am glad 2009 is over.  It was just a terrible year for our Country.  Many people lost jobs, a great number of houses were foreclosed, and several terrorist attacks killed hard working people that were completely innocent.  Many members of the armed forces also lost their lives defending us in far away lands. 

I thank God every day that we have citizens who raise their hands and volunteer to put themselves in harm’s way.  The all volunteer armed forces continue to amaze me with their dedication to freedom and selfless acts to promote democracy throughout the world.

The year 2009 will also be forever imprinted on my mind because we inaugurated a socialist president knowing full well he was incapable of governing.  This administration has been a total failure.  Unemployment skyrocketed, terrorists have been given rights in unprecedented situations, conservatives have been labeled as right wing extremists, and the list continues to grow.  Did you see that Interpol now does not have to be subject to any American law enforcement oversight?

Well, it’s 2010.  You have it in your power to stop this march toward socialism.  You have the say in which direction this Country goes.  The vote on every member of the House of Representatives and one third of the Senate is only 11 months away.  It is up to each one of us that believe the government is not the answer to all our problems to get out and vote, and support candidates that believe in less government and lower taxes.  If you have the financial resources, give money to help like minded candidates.  If you have time, work on a political campaign.

The holidays are over.  It’s time to get to work to change the path of America.  Here is an opportunity for those of you in South Florida.  The South Florida Conservatives are hosting a candidate forum at the Doubletree Miami Mart on January 23, 2010, at 5:00 p.m.  Marco Rubio, LTC Allen West, and other Congressional candidates will be there to answer questions.  Please join me there, and for further information, go to http://www.sflaconservative.com/upcoming-events/freedom-forum-1/

Now get out there and get to work!!!!

Inconvenient Leadership

I was watching today’s General Hospital that my wife tapes to watch every evening, and much to her chagrin, President Obama preempted the program to announce that someone attempted to blow up a plane bound for America!  The shocking development of a radical Muslim attempting to kill hundreds of Americans is so important, that the President decided to hold a press briefing to deliver critical information to the American people.

There must have been a typo in the graphics that were on the screen.  They said that the “incident” (read that as terrorist attack) occurred on Christmas Day, December 25, last week.  If that’s true, did our Panderer in Chief get the memo?  I guess he could throw some of his socialist underlings under the bus for not bringing this “incident” to his attention while he was playing golf in Hawaii. 

Remember that this is the President that not 2 months ago, was being talked about as being too visible.  He loves to give interviews, unless you are with Fox News.  He picks football and basketball games, loves to spread disinformation about his socialist policies, and forward his leftist agenda.  However, when it comes to labeling terrorists or defending this Country, he is nowhere to be found.  Don’t you feel safe with him and Napolitano watching out for the safety of your families? 

This administration is quick to lash out at “right wing extremists” like Americans that believe in the 2^nd Amendment and are anti-abortion, but when a Muslim extremist attacks this Country, we hear crickets.  Has anyone heard an update on that piece of garbage that attacked Ft. Hood?

I was going to write about our 12 TRILLION in debt that is projected to be 21 TRILLION in 10 years, but that will have to wait for the next post.  This socialist President is an embarrassment to the ideals and founding principals of this Country.  I can’t wait for 2012.

Off For The Holidays!

It’s a great time of year.  The Christmas season always is hectic, but it is very enjoyable.  We will be heading to Disney for the week, but before we go, I wanted to wish each of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and a Happy New Year.

I have a difficult time not ripping our socialist president even during Christmas, but since he doesn’t believe America is a Christian country anyway, I guess it really doesn’t matter.  I still don’t understand how you sit in a church with Reverend Wright for 20 years and don’t believe anything, then again, maybe I do.

The President just got home from that debacle of a conference in Copenhagen.  Luckily for us, Obama wasn’t able to convince the world that America was totally evil and we should foot the bill for this alleged “Global Warming Catastrophe.”  It seems China doesn’t bow down to the rest of the world’s leaders like our apologist does, so no agreement could be made.  Isn’t that pathetic?  We have to root for the Chinese to muck up the waters in order for us not to be shackled by the rest of the world.

Back at home, the outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled a vote to take over 1/6^th of the American economy on Christmas Eve.  Doesn’t anybody in D.C. believe holidays should be spent at home with your family? 

After the holidays, it will be time to work on removing this rubber stamp congress from power.  South Florida Conservatives will be hosting gubernatorial candidate Speaker Marco Rubio and Congressional candidate Lt. Col. Allen West at a forum on January 23.  I urge everyone to view the You Tube video with LTC West.  He is a strong conservative voice.  Contact me for information.

See you next year!

Votes For Sale

I was thinking that it doesn’t pay to be a member of Congress that follows the party line, whichever party you belong to.  It is far more valuable to be someone that is always undecided.  If the party can always count on your vote because you vote to the extreme left or right, there is not a lot of reason to pay you for your vote.

The current healthcare reform vote is an excellent example of this.  The Democrats are so desperate for votes, they have made millions of dollars worth of concessions to those representatives that were “concerned” or “undecided.”  Those words are code for “you have to pay for my vote,” or “what are you going to give me to help you rape the American people?”

Do you really believe that there are Senators and Representatives that are uncertain of their position on healthcare reform?  It’s as if they have never considered the question and they want us to believe that they are still developing an opinion on this issue.  That is ridiculous.  I feel the same way when a Supreme Court nominee says they don’t have an opinion on abortion.  Are we really supposed to believe they have never pondered this before?

Why do we put up with this form of horse trading to run a Country?  Our tax money, taken from us under threat of criminal prosecution, is given out by elected officials to other elected officials to secure votes to take more tax money from us that will be used to buy more votes, etc. etc. 

We have to end this cycle of violence against the American people.  There are very good reasons to have an efficient and productive government.  I believe that the government has gotten too vast for our own good.  Government, particularly the Federal government, needs to be placed on a diet.  This continued grab for areas of the economy to be socialized has been shown through history to be a failed model.  I’m sure our socialist president loves this expansion, but this is not sustainable.  When more people find out they can vote themselves more benefits to the detriment of the Country’s health, we will collapse under our own debt.

I saw a great bumper sticker this week.  It read: Socialism is a great idea until you run out of other people’s money.  We are fast approaching that barrier with Obama driving this socialist bus.  I can’t wait till 2012!

Let’s Catch Up!!

It has been a couple of crazy weeks around the house, so I have not been able to write.  There has been much going on in our almost socialist Country since President Obama got his fake Nobel, so let’s spend a few minutes catching up…

A tragedy that is both devastating and infuriating is the attack of unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood.  My heart, prayers, and sympathies go out to the families of the patriots killed and wounded in the attack.  May God grant you the comfort that only He can.  In hard times like these, lean on the Lord and He will provide comfort to the inconsolable.

Now to the issues that really make me mad about the information released on the incident.  Shortly after the first reports of the attack, we heard that the FBI stated this is not a terrorist event.  Why in the world would they say that?  There is NO WAY they could possibly know that so soon after the attack.  Now it turns out that the shooter was under investigation for 6 months and tried to contact Al Qaeda.  My local fish-wrapper, The Miami Herald, posted a poll today asking readers if the government should investigate if the attack was a terrorist incident.  Can you believe that?  What an insane question.  I guess we should just wonder if there is a coordinated plot to kill Americans.  Thankfully, brave police officers responded and shot this low life.  I’m sure he will be hanged as a traitor soon.  Military justice moves much more quickly than civilian courts. 

Secondly, the elections in New Jersey and Virginia were ignored or dismissed by several members of the head socialist’s administration.  I guess a Republican Governor in New Jersey is no big deal.  I’m sure I saw Obama campaign for Corzine, but just like the begging for the Olympics, Obama could not bring home the prize.  The good people of Virginia also gave us some hope for a massacre of the liberals in November 2010 by sweeping the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General offices for the Republicans.  We have to keep the pressure up and continue this momentum into the election.

Lastly, the ultra-liberal House of Representatives led by the extremist from San Francisco passed a socialized medicine bill over the weekend continuing our march to being good little communists.  The vote was very close, but I’m sure the results were negotiated to protect Democrats in conservative states.  Check your Representative to see if he/she voted for this debacle.  Remember that in November.  Now the Senate takes up the question.  Let your Senators know your feelings.  I believe the Senate will not pass a bill as radical as the House’s, but we need to make our feelings known. 

Rally to stop socialized medicine!  Stop giving away freedoms.  The Federal government already owns car manufacturers, banks, investment firms, insurance companies, and mortgage lenders.  Don’t give them 1/6^th of the U.S economy.

Nobel? What a Joke!

When people ask me about the academic prowess of my son, which is prolific, I often say that I would not be surprised to see him win a Nobel Prize in Physics or Chemistry one day.  With our socialist President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize after only 11 days in office, I guess the bar for special recognition has been significantly lowered to the point where I should start saying that I hope my son can read dramatically from a teleprompter.  It is so sad that this is our new standard of excellence.

Do you remember the first 11 days of our socialist’s Presidency?  I don’t really remember any earth-shattering events.  I remember seeing many speeches that offered “hope and change” to the downtrodden.  I remember Obama pushing a Stimulus bill that he said had to be passed immediately or unemployment might reach 8.5%.  Here we are pushing 10%, I wonder why his words didn’t stop the economic collapse.  His vague words of “hope and change“ were enough for those panderers in Stockholm to give an award for what he said he may do.

When preparing to write this Blog entry, I was encouraged to look at the only other sitting President of the United States to receive the award, President Woodrow Wilson.  After 7 years in office, leading the Country through World War I, creating the League of Nations, and crafting the Treaty of Versailles, President Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.  His accomplishments seem pale in comparison to Obama’s 11 day reign over the Country, his eloquent speeches, and the thoughts of what he may be able to accomplish with just the wave of his hand.

I guess you probably get the feeling from my writing that I do not believe that President Obama deserves any prize.  That is true, but giving our top socialist a prize is the result of far more nefarious motivations and social attitudes that seek to further destroy the fabric of this Country.  Firstly, I’m sure Obama and his merry band of leftists truly believe that he is absolutely deserving of special recognition for his 11 days in office.  As far as they are concerned, he is entitled to this simply because he has said he will deliver “hope and change,” even if he really hasn’t and he may never do anything.  This insipid entitlement philosophy permeates the entire leftist movement, and is ripping the drive for excellence out of the very soul of the Country.

Secondly, by giving the savior his award, I believe the “Stockholmians” are attempting to affect the foreign policy of America.  How can a Nobel Peace Prize winner order 60,000 more troops into Afghanistan to perform missions that may not always be peaceful?  How can we protect liberty around the world as a Country with a leader that is a beacon of peace by sending troops carrying guns that are definitely not peaceful.  This thinly veiled attempt to tie our hands will probably work in our current socialist administration. 

What is truly sad is that I’m sure Obama said to himself “It’s about time, I’ve deserved this award for a long time.”  He and his leftist administration delude themselves that they have actually had some affect on the world.  His 2009 apology tour, as I described in my entry entitled “Panderer in Chief” must have really worked in Europe.  Luckily, I, and many other Americans see through this fraud of a president and can’t wait for 2012. This awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama has shown this award is a joke.

A Tale of Two Protests

Have you seen the coverage of the G-20 protests in Pittsburgh?  What strikes me is the difference between that protest and the 912 Project protest in Washington DC.  Most people in the Country did not even know a protest was held in the Nation’s capital on 9/12/09 because of a dismissive and liberal media.

In Pittsburgh, the G-20 met, which brought with it the usual gang of anti-American, anti-democratic, environmentalist wackos that are attracted to every event meant to develop trade or capitalism.  In the pictures you will see the same anarchists, anti-war groups, and extremist environmentalists that were in Miami when we had the FTAA meetings.  They are a pathetic group.

So, who are the demonstrators in these two marches?

912 Project:

 

G-20:

What were their grievances?

912 Project:

G-20:

How did they interact with the authorities controlling the marches?

912 Project:

G-20:

How many arrests were made at each march?

912 Project:

0

G-20:

More than 200

How much tear gas was used at each protest?

912 Project:

None

G-20:

A Lot

 

Who was called an angry mob, right wing extremists, racists, and radicals by Congressional Leaders and liberal media members?

The 912 Project protestors.  Incredible.

912 Project March on Washington DC

An event that was largely ignored by the liberal media, avoided by a socialist president who went to Minnesota, trivialized by members of the administration, laughed at by the presidential spokesman, marginalized by liberal political pundits, and underestimated by the Capitol Police, was held in Washington DC and all around the Country on Saturday, September 12.  I was proud to be in the Nation’s capitol for the largest gathering of conservatives in the history of the United States of America.  

The Washington Times estimated the crowd at 600,000.  CNN said there were about 50,000.  No matter what the crowd, I was a proud participant with many thousands of others that peacefully demonstrated at the United States Capitol.

 

The most striking thing that I experienced was the make-up of the crowd.  After hearing the empty rants of the left calling American citizens an “angry mob,” it was great to see exactly who this angry mob was.  The amount of senior citizens and families was amazing.  I would venture to guess that 90% of the people I saw on Saturday have never protested anything in their entire lives.  Here are a couple pictures of the “angry mob”:

This was my first excursion into the life of a demonstrator.  I have always been on the other side of the line.  When policing demonstrations, you are always on the lookout for escalation of emotions that could trigger ugly incidents.  Even though I was in the middle of a huge crowd and could barely move or even get within several hundred yards of the stage, I never felt the slightest hint of any aggressiveness.  The crowd was incredible.  The people were all friendly and respectful.  I was honored to be there with them.

 

I would ask that if you are concerned about our Country, that you continue to stay informed about the actions of our government.  Support candidates that believe this Country is great.  Candidates that believe in smaller government, lower taxes, and democracy.

Marching in Washington DC

For the first time in my life, I am going to demonstrate for a cause.  I, along with two friends from work, am going to Washington DC this weekend to participate in the 912 Project March on the Capitol. 

I never thought it would come to this.  I never imagined the leadership of this Country would take such a huge turn toward socialism in such a short period of time.  It is astonishing that people who believe in individual freedom, democracy, and capitalism have to march and demonstrate to remind elected officials of the tenets the United States was established on.

The liberal media will probably dismiss this action by saying the participants are being bussed in by the GOP, or maybe the vast right-wing conspiracy is just a bunch of hateful hicks.  Well, whatever they say, I know why I am going.  I believe in small government, the free enterprise system, hard work, and the freedom to live without unnecessary government interference in my life.  I believe there are many millions of people who believe as I do.  I hope this socialist administration realizes that they are charged with protecting all Americans, not just the misguided 65 million that voted for this “change.”

So we are marching on Saturday.  If you are near DC, come on out.  I’m sure there will be a few of us there!

One Down, Many To Go

After an incredible amount of public pressure, that self-proclaimed communist and leftist radical Van Jones resigned as the Green Jobs Czar.  All I have to say is Hallelujah!  That is one radical that will have to find other ways to bleed the public of money for socialist programs.  I guess our socialist President can still give Van a call for input when critical issues come up, like causing terrorist attacks or poisoning some of our own disadvantaged citizens, but at least we are not paying him for that advice.

There is so much for American citizens to do while this administration is in power.  Just because one radical is gone, don’t let your guard down.  This President has surrounded himself with an incredible amount of crazies, and it is our duty to continue to voice concerns and point out the socialist tendencies of many of President Obama’s advisors.

Who is next?  Well there is always Sunstein who thinks animals should be able to sue us.  We have Axelrod, whose mother was the editor of a communist newspaper.  Rham Emanuel’s brother, Ezekiel Emanuel, a Special Advisor for Health Policy believes that some people are more worthy to be saved medically than others based upon their perceived contributions to society.  Then there is John Holdren who believes that forced abortions and sterilizations are necessary to control population. 

There are plenty of advisors to point to, and the most important thing to remember is that while these people are surely nuts, the President appointed them to advisor positions with full knowledge of their backgrounds.  So the problem is the judgment and political philosophy of the President, not just the individual crazies that work around him.  Don’t kid yourself, Obama knew everything that Van Jones believed, said, and did, PRIOR to his appointment.  Do you really believe Obama doesn’t agree with him?  This administration is full of nuts, so don’t think that we are done because one extremist resigned.
