How Much Campaigning is Too Much?

This president spews more bovine excrement than a carnie hustler. This man has spent the majority of his political stint campaigning. In Illinois he voted “present” most o f the time. Perhaps he did not spend any time on the issues since he was planning his run for the US Senate. Once he got to the US Senate, he immediately started to campaign for his run for the Presidency.

Because the path he wants to lead this country is so incredibly wrong, he has to constantly try to convince us to go along with him. When he stops bloviating and we get to analyze the issues critically, we realize how wrong he is. This past election is evidence that the people are not convinced that his way is the right path for our country. His campaigning did not help his socialist/Marxist cause.

Get ready for the snake oil salesman selling his poison. I am sure his campaign for the virtues (sic) of a socialist paradise will be hard, loud, and even threatening. Even though the Democrats, with a total majority in both houses, completely ignored Republicans, their campaign will center on compromise and bipartisan cooperation. When they had all the power their slogan as “we won you lost” so shut up. Now they will try to convince the people that to compromise is a moral virtue. Like hell it is. This country is an ideological struggle between what made this country great and what made so many miserable in countries around the world. Their way enslaved millions; behind the Iron Curtain of the Soviet Socialist Union, China, Cuba, and others. Let’s hope that he won’t be able to fool all of the people all of the time.

The Trouble with Americans

Posted with permission form author Richard McDonals.

The trouble with Americans is that they are easily fooled. Collectively they seldom see the forest for the trees. Their commercial and social successes have made their culture so complicated that they have come to rely on collective solutions that eat away at the freedom and liberty of the individual. Instead of a dedication to the principles of their Founders almost half of the population believes in socialism a mutation of the very totalitarian disease the Founders built this country to avoid.

Instead of an assembly of free individuals we have become a collection of mobs dedicated to using our particular monopoly to destroy the very economic and social fabric of the nation. Take the United Auto Workers Union (UAW). Are there Americans who believe that the UAW mob did not bankrupt the domestic auto industry? Take the teachers and their unions. That mob has done so much damage that the more money we throw at them the less educated kids we get and the higher wages and pensions we pay.

Take government workers and their unions. Now there is a mob to end all mobs. You can’t fire them and they grow like weeds. They can vote themselves anything they want. At the city, state and Federal level the country is going bankrupt paying wages, pensions and benefits so high that it has become the only growth industry in the country.

Those who orchestrate and manipulate these mobs are called politicians and bureaucrats and they are a deadly cancer. Instead of working for the people they appease and do the bidding for their collection of mobs. They are assisted by the media mob that works the American plantation like the compound it has become. Even the AARP mob spent millions to defeat the privatization of Social Security when in fact privatization meant that the people (they ostensibly represent) could keep more of their own money.

The voice of the individual is now being heard at the tea parties. It is the antithesis of a mob – it is an expression not of Republicans or Democrats but of individual Americans who see their freedoms and liberties being drained away by the mobs and those that lie for them at city councils, state houses and in Congress and the Administration.

The tea party folks want to save the America our Founders built. They want to cut out the cancer the mobs have infected the country with. Let’s see how they fare against the elegant and efficient mobster-in-chief standing squarely in their way promoting massive socialism through redistribution of income and wealth and ably assisted by the rent-a-mob ACORN. Our Founders must be turning over in their graves about now worrying that the tea parties won’t grow powerful enough to kill “king socialism.”

It's All About Power

The Democrat party led by Pelosi and Reid are all about power and control. Ever since the 2004 election the Democrats have been working toward one goal only. That is to take complete control of the nation. If they have to destroy America to attain control, they will. Republican legislator’s corruption and abandonment of Republican principals gave them the opportunity get control of the House and almost the Senate in 2006. Ever since then they have neglected all government business and concentrated on demonizing the Bush Administration. They saw their chance to tank the economy with run away mortgages to people who could not afford the exaggerated prices. These mortgages were created due to decades of Democrat effort to allow irresponsible loans.

They are now in a position to push what ever legislation they want and that is exactly what they are doing. All their efforts are to exaggerate the current economic condition so that in two to three years they can take credit for a recovery, regardless of how minimal it will be. The stimulus bill just passed will not stimulate the economy until several years down the line. In the mean time they can continue to blame the current economic mess on the Republicans, as the president is doing every opportunity he gets.

The budget now in congress has provisions to control radio, television, cable, and internet. They are using the drug gang’s activity in Mexico to curtail the sale of guns in the U.S., even though the weapons used by the Mexican gangs all come form China and North Korea. They are even attempting to usurp the sovereignty of the states by bypassing the governor’s office and giving money directly to the cities. Remember the Federal Government gives no gift without major strings. Mr. Reid is prepared to force the states to allow transmission lines from one state to go through another to bring power to a third with no benefit to the state forced to have the lines.

The struggle in Congress is not over what is the best way to bring America out of these dreadful economic times. It is all about absolute power. Remember that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
