Don’t Let The Obama Machine Fool You Again

There is an old saying; “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.” If we are taken in once, it might not be our fault. The second time we can only blame ourselves. The Obama machine fooled America and we elected him to the highest most powerful position in the world. He has been dismantling all that America was. The people have become disenchanted with him and his cadre. His reelection to a second term is in jeopardy. He is now campaigning for reelection.

He has been raising money for quite some time. He has or will have over a billion dollars in his campaign chest and has already started to spend it. To help keep America dependent on foreign energy sources he has pressured large corporations into promoting his “green” agenda. Today I saw a commercial promoting ethanol use in gasoline. A practice that is causing price increases in corn and corn products. This caused price increases in other items all over the world. Corn is used to feed farm animals. When it costs more to raise pigs, cattle, and chickens the price of these items is raised and we all have to pay more at the grocery store. It takes around 27 pounds of corn to distill one gallon of gas. This raises the price of gas, lot more than we think. Our government subsidizes the growing of corn. This is one way this administration is ruining America’s economy.

These people are doing everything they can to bring America to its knees. They are stubbornly keeping us from exploiting our own oil and natural gas reserves. At the same time we just gave billions of dollars to Brazil so they can hire the Chinese to drill for their oil. Not only that, but Obama promised to buy it. First we are denied to drill our deposits, denying American jobs and economic growth. Then we will have to spend more money to buy foreign oil.

These and his other actions are shoving America in to an even deeper economic hole. He is using the EPA to increase the price of energy which in turn raises the cost of everything else. During his campaign for president he vowed to bankrupt the coal industry. Coal is the major generator of America’s electricity. He is attacking our industries further hurting the economy.

This man cannot be allowed another term in the White House. Four more years and America will be in ruins. Ruining America’s economy not only makes Americans poor, it weakens America, including our police and military. If things continue, America will be vulnerable to attack. There are forces out there that are attacking us right now and soon we will not have the resources to defend ourselves.

Up until these past few months, Obama could not be accused of being too patriotic. He did not put his arm over his heart during the playing of the National Anthem. For years he refused to wear the American Flag Pendent. Instead of meeting with wounded troops he went to play basketball. There were many other incidences where he passed on honoring our military. He is against a day of prayer that every president before him participated in but he did pray with the Muslims on an Islamic Holy day. Now that the killing of Usama Bin Ladin was thrown into his lap he has said “God Bless” more times than during all the time he was running for president and after. He is honoring the troops that he ignored before. He has said “God Bless the troops” and “God Bless America” in his speeches about the killing of UBL. Finely he paid tribute the heroes of 9/11 in New York. It is just a ploy to mesmerize us. The man is on a campaign trail.

He has never stopped campaigning. We must no fall for his deceitful speeches. His intentions are not honorable. Reelecting him or any of his cadre in the Senate and House will bring America to ruin. We need people who will lift America to greater heights not those who are diminishing America’s greatness. November 2012 may be the last chance we have to rescue current and future American generations. Don’t let this opportunity pass by. Vet new candidates, select the right ones, and work hard to elect them.

The government wants to take over more land

This summer, the National Park Service initiated a new "special resource study" of the Rim of the Valley Corridor surrounding the San Fernando, La Crescenta, Santa Clarita, Simi and Conejos Valleys in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties of southern California.

The Rim of the Valley Corridor study's purpose is to determine whether any portion of the study area is eligible to be designated as a unit of the national park system or added to an existing national park such as the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The study will also explore other ways that private or governmental entities can protect resources and provide more outdoor recreation opportunities.

Sure sounds nice, doesn’t it? More parks that the state cannot afford to maintain. The state is closing parks and recreation areas. This preserves the land for what, the park rangers? People who have cabins in those areas don’t want you, me, or anyone else to enjoy a cabin like they do, so they start movements to “preserve nature”. They have theirs and the rest of us can go to hell. Before I bought the house in Saugus, there were only fields and trees there. As my and other newly built houses were occupied, people started petitions to not allow any other developments in adjoining areas. We got ours, the hell with everyone else.

The US government owns more of this county’s land than the people do. 80% of Utah is owned by the Feds. The more land that a government owns (federal, state, or local), the less land there is for the people. This will force the people to live in overcrowded cities, using “public” transportation because the streets and highways are not maintained properly (and not enough of them). The more we depend on a government entity the more they will charge us for “what they provide”. There are ways to preserve most of nature without having the government take over.

Our governments (Fed. State, and local) should be concerned with improving the economy and not dreaming up new restrictions and entities to enforce them. I got an email from Fran Pavley bragging about all the bills she and the legislature passed or were working on. None of them had anything to do with helping the economy. On the contrary, they were increasing the size of government and costs to run it.

Here are the questions I ask candidates

What are your life accomplishments?
Why are you running for this office?
What do you plan to accomplish when you are elected?
What do you think the role of government should be?
What past or current politician do you admire?
What do you know about Islam?
Is America under attack by Islamic Terrorists.

These are the answers I hope for:

The candidate has been involved in politics but spent the last ten years making a living, paying taxes, a mortgage, and has been successful in his field.
The candidate is motivated by a sense of duty to protect our Constitution and is not interested in being a career politician.
It is the government’s duty to protect its citizens without running our lives.
The candidate should admire politicians who advocate small government, believe in free enterprise, promote peace through strength, and admire the core factors of our Constitution.
Islam is not compatible withe enlightened western cultures.
Yes

Is a New Cold War Looming on the Horizon?

The Soviet Union was at the brink of its resources trying to keep up with US. Ronald Reagan’s, not so gentle shove, pushed it over the edge. Unable to pay its military, continue to operate, the Soviet Union went bankrupt. The Communists death grip on the many states conquered by Russia to form the Soviet Union and others behind the Iron Curtain was broken. The Soviet Union fell apart as one by one they declared their independence from Big Brother Russia. The states not part of the Soviet Union but were controlled by it, ran as fast as possible away from Communist Socialism, instituting what resembled (as much as possible for countries under the yolk for decades ) democratic states. The world felt that Russia was not ever going to be a major player on the international scene again.

Like a cancerous growth, ambitions of past hard line leaders were not removed but allowed to grow strong and powerful again. Under the guise of removing criminal elements (Russian Mafias became a real threat worldwide) the elected leaders usurped more and more power to the point that brought back a government more like a dictatorship than a democracy. To be fair this move probably saved Russia from rampant lawlessness and subjugation by criminal elements.

During the brief unrestricted capitalistic surge, private companies developed a petroleum industry and a banking system that improved the country’s financial situation. Now the leaders had enough fiscal stability to begin asserting more power, domestically and internationally. They took over much of the (mostly) free enterprises (many were run criminally) and built up their bankrupt military complex. Although the world economic downturn has had a dramatic effect on Russia’s economy, it has already established a large power base. Russia has established naval/military bases in Syria and Venezuela. Venezuela purchased billions of dollars worth of tanks, jets, missals, and other hardware, using cash obtained from oil revenues acquired mostly form sales to the U.S. Iran has been a client of Russia for a long time, buying equipment and expertise. Russia is a partner in Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

For all practical purposes, the Ukraine is under the control of Russia. In the waning second term of the Bush administration, Putin instigated unrest in part of the Ukraine, used its military power to overcome Ukraine’s meager armed forces, and now with the Obama administration’s lack of concern has full control of the country. Other former Soviet States are under the control or great political pressure from Russia.

In January of 2010, Russia made a deal for Libya to buy a $2.6 billion military arsenal. Not only does this bring much needed cash flow to Russia, this gives Russia another area of great influence. The Russian tentacles are reaching far and wide. This presence is a huge problem to America, not recognized by the Obama Administration.

The last cold war was not as cold as some would think. It was a hot war with both sides using surrogates. American and Soviet jets with other country’s markings engaged in aerial combat. Weapons of various new designs competed on the battlefield, each country trying out new war strategies. The Soviets did not take America’s lesson of fighting a determined, passionate, and dedicated gorilla enemy to heart, evident by their attempts in Afghanistan. This was the beginning of the end of the Soviet Empire.

The reason why both countries used surrogates was that they realized a direct conflict between them would most likely destroy most life on earth. Neither country was willing the take that chance since each wanted to survive.

A new cold war will be much more risky to the whole world. Russia is doing business with rouge nations whose leaders either welcome destruction, don’t care if it happens, or are oblivious to the possibility of world destruction. These nations are unpredictable and cannot be trusted. They have a long history of not sticking to agreements. They do business with groups that have no national allegiance and given the opportunity will use weapons of mass destruction with impunity.

This is becoming more and more of a danger to the civilized world. Iran, a client of Russia, China, North Korea, and even some western nations, has many time expressed its desire to eradicate a whole nation (Israel) off the face of the Earth. This would present the world with a huge conundrum. Will it allow the total destruction of a nation and its people? Will the world retaliate and attack whoever perpetrated this destruction? Whom will America consider its enemy? If Iran’s surrogates, Hamas and Hezbollah use a nuclear device on Israel, would we attack Iran. Russia, China, and North Korea are all accomplices to any success Iran will have in developing nuclear weapons. Would we attack any or all of these nations?

Europe and more so Middle Eastern nations would feel even more threatened then they are now when Iran succeeds in developing nuclear warheads. Nuclear weaponry and other WMD’s would be in demand by many more countries, increasing the possibility of a nuclear war of total destruction.

The Obama Administration has no plans or even desire to maintain military strength that would deter let alone put a stop to this new “cold war”, a war of great peril to us all. It is imperative we institute some major changes in America’s foreign policy and our development of current and future military strength.

The only way to accomplish that, is to change the balance in our congress this November and remove Obama in 2012. We need to vet new candidates, pick the right ones, and work hard to elect them.

Current Sacramento Legislators Don’t Get It

Their solution to the water crisis in California is too spend more money, money which Californians do not have now and if current trends continue will not have in the future. Sacramento legislators are working on two bills. One, which is to outline what will be done and the other a bond measure indebting Californians to $9.4 billion. Assessing past cost estimates, the actual cost of the project will be much higher, could be three times the $9.4 billion.

I started to read the bill today. It begins with pages and pages of acquiescing to existing environmental restrictions that inhibit the economic growth of California. Then it goes into more legal gobbledygook of creating this and that. To me, this is not encouraging at all. California does not have the luxury of time to implement the restoral of irrigation water to the farmers of the central valley.

Several weeks ago, a rally was held in Fresno in support of the farmers and farm workers. Only one news outlet even mentioned it to any degree. Where are the legislators? They are supposed to be working for the people, not special interests that feed their campaign coffers. On a trip to Walnut Creek, last weekend, I witnessed the dustbowl in the central valley. As I observed dried up fields that a few years ago were growing the fruits and vegetables for the tables of America, a small sign pointed out the plight. It expressed the frustration of a people under the thumb of a government that cares more for non-indigenes fish and snails then that of the welfare of its citizens.

It appears that Sacramento, in lock step with the federal government, is dead set on exporting our economy to other countries and reducing our living standards to that of third world states. Since the governor and legislature of California do not intend to do the people’s will, the people need to make some big changes. We must take advantage of every opportunity to replace our office holders with those who will govern for the benefit of all the people and not selected special interest groups. We need to have dedicated public servants and not career politicians, who are mostly interested in staying in power, running our state.

California must become business friendly in order to resurrect its ailing economy, otherwise it will end up likes its southern neighbor, with no middle class, a few rich living in compounds, and a huge dissatisfied and angry class of poor.

California needs to put people first. Open the locks to irrigate our farmlands, harvest our rich source of oil, build refineries, construct nuclear power plants, erect more windmills, and utilize solar power.

Do not waste the opportunity to vet new and dedicated public servants. Encourage your family, friends, and associates to carefully select candidates and work hard to elect the right ones. It is time to dedicate ourselves and make some sacrifices.

At Times There Is No Other Hand

One’s principals as traditions need to be re-examined and re-evaluated now and then. In many if not most, parts of the world it was considered impolite not to welcome a stranger into your home, provide sustenance and rest. A suspicion about new comers and strangers was considered backward thinking. The welcome matt was lying proudly in front of the door. Now it is more prudent to be cautious when a stranger appears at the door.

As people moved from rural areas into cities, it became essential to implement new laws of behavior, regulations affecting individual actions, and community living. Living in a house miles away from neighbors, it made no difference how much debris one had in their front yard. It affected no one but the homeowner. Try to do that in populated housing community now, one would be cited and forced to clean up the area. Such rules became common in our cities and accepted as just. Living in an apartment house, we are required to comply with rules of courtesy such as making noise. We comply to be good neighbors. But at times these rules, imposed by self appointed directors of sensibility, can be carried too far. Quite often, we hear of situations such as people being threatened with eviction for displaying the American flag, displaying political views in yards or windows, and having decals on one’s cars.

The fast held beliefs of yesteryear need to be amended to meet challenges of the present and future. There is little danger to a community if a person living on the prairie shoots a gun into the air. The same cannot be said about doing that in a crowded city. This does not necessitate denying gun ownership, just abiding by sensible rules. In a city where people depend upon each other more, it is not egregious to impose taxes that will pay for streets, public transportation, and other requirements for a well functioning city. Rules of behavior must include acceptance of others as long as they pose no danger to the community. These rules should not impede one’s prerogatives or ability to pursue a livelihood or happiness as long as these do not harm others.

So it is with politics. As the world changes around us some political standards need change. This does not mean abandoning ideals or standards that have served this nation well. Throughout most of the 1800’s, slavery was accepted as normal. That was changed and is now against the law. It was recognized at the beginning of the 20th century that denying women the vote was not right and now women have an equal opportunity to vote as do all lawfull citizens, regardless of race, religion, color, or origin.

All this is good but when some decide to implement laws that change the fabric of what this nation was based on, self reliance, individual freedom, and guaranteed opportunity to succeed, we have to realize that not all change is necessary nor for the general good. It is especially dangerous when people claim to have certain views when their actual inclinations are the opposite. These “fifth column” types infiltrate organizations to attain power in order to implement agendas that are the opposite of the organization. Some in the organization are willing to support them hoping for self advancement within the group. This brings me to the subject of compromising one’s principals. Just as Tevye, from The Fiddler On the Roof, realized that there are times when one can consider “on the other hand”, that at times there is no other hand, we must realize that at times compromise is not an option. That time is here and now. Conservative Republicans must stand for our principals and the United States Constitution. In these times of pending danger to our way of life we must not go along to get along. Just because a candidate states he/she is a true Republican and has the ability to be elected is not a reason for us to support their candidacy. A socialist who claims to be a Republican will push us further into a way of life that will stifle the human soul, stagnate economic growth, and denigrate the past and current sacrifices by many. It is time for us to vet candidates that will promote the aspirations of our founders. We must work with dedication and willingness to sacrifice and elect the right ones. We can not afford to sit on the side lines and hope that others will do the work for us.

Don’t give up the fight

Well, I have been waiting for some one to answer my question. What were the “childish” and “mean” things said at the Tea Parties and what was so egregious about them? No one has stepped up to the plate.

Some one is trying to put a monkey wrench into the movement. It could be the Democrats, Ron Paul-ers (can’t infiltrate as they would like), or the old guard of the Republican Party seeing that they may be losing their grip on the party.

Who is doing this makes no difference. The Tea Parties have energized the country to stand up against the National Socialists running America. It is the most visible and motivating movement in recent times. Let’s keep the momentum going.

Please continue to rally at the Tea Parties. They have made a big difference in the mood in congress. The people are making noise and even though Washington keeps saying we don’t exist, they are paying attention. We must keep the pressure on them. They need to be aware that after the next election they may be looking for work in the private sector.

Let’s not give up the fight.

We Are Closer and Closer to a Dictatorship

For the past two years, I have been comparing the Obama campaign and now the presidency to 1930’s Germany. Many have been skeptical of my views. Today we learned that his administration forbade an insurance company to communicate its views on ObamaCare.

This is a direct affront to the first amendment of our Constitution. What is his administration going to do if the insurance company defies Obama’s command? Will they fire the officers? Will Obama prosecute the officers on some trumped up charges? Don’t look so incredulous, he has replaced corporate CEO’s already.

In addition, I have pointed out his constant degradation of America.

Did you torture yourself through his apologies for America, kiss up to the worlds worst despots, selling out Israel, and contradicting goals of supporting the right of people for self-determination speech at the U.N.? That was not the speech of a patriotic American President. That was the speech of a man who hates America and all it has stood for as the most generous nation ever.

There was no reference of how America saved the world form German Imperialism, twice, and communist domination by the Soviet Union and how America has always been the first to render aid of all kind to areas that suffered disasters. There was no mention of brutal attacks on the protesters rejecting the election results in Iran. Obama is a disgrace to humanity

Open Primaries and a Part-Time Legislature

With party registration being seven to three favoring the Democrats, the Republican vote would be diluted to the point of insignificants. The Democrats could swing the primary towards the most unelectable Republican candidate. I believe that would border on unconstitutional. Allowing Declined to State voters to participate in the primaries gives them a say and should be the way we hold primaries.

A full time legislature promotes the career politician. This creates an elite ruling class whose primary concern becomes self-promotion. The career politician develops the attitude of knowing better than the populous, a concept that our founding fathers rejected.

This rule by a few of the many is what this country ended with our declaration of independence. They wanted to get away from those that ruled according to their own needs rather then those of the people.

If we examine the make-up of politicians, we see families of career politicians, all of which live totally different lives form those that they are supposedly representing. This is made very evident by the many ballot initiatives and even more by the Tea Parties. Our officials are not fulfilling the wishes and needs of the voters.

In California we see career politicians and the rich playing potentates. This created a situation that is great for them but killed the business environment pushing companies and jobs out of the state, reducing revenues, and forcing the general population into poverty.

A part time legislature will be made up of civic-minded individuals who take time out of their daily lives to do the work of the people. They will be less concerned with making laws that perpetuate their careers and concentrate on getting the most needed work done.
We would not need term limits and be able to keep the experienced and able minded as long as they want to serve. They would be in service like the National Guard, taking a few days a year to serve but still having regular jobs living regular lives like those they represent.

Appeasing the Enemy and Betraying Allies is a Road to Disaster

Throughout history, there is evidence that appeasing your enemy guaranties the enemy’s victory. Yet so many politicians keep doing so never considering past outcome of such action.

Appeasing your enemy usually comes with selling out one or more allies. President Obama is following the path of folly by Chamberlin and others. Two countries that took the chance to align with the West are Poland and the Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia).

During the debate over the America’s missile defense system for Europe, I emailed Radio Prague and other news sources in CR, lobbying for them to accept it. Assuring that America is a safer bet. This debate got quite heated in both countries and politician’s careers were on the line. In the end, both countries took a leap of faith and agreed to host the system. I say a leap of faith because both countries have been victims of betrayal before.

They both suffered terrible lose of life, destroyed infrastructure, and a ruined economy, when Western Europe, led by Britain’s Neville Chamberlain, gave into Hitler’s demands. “Peace in Our Time” became World War II.

At the end of WW II, they again were sacrificed in an attempt to appease a burgeoning enemy, the Soviet Union. Not only were they denied the reconstruction afforded to Western Europe, their new masters raped the countries of their natural resources, forced their industries to supplement the Soviet Union, and imprisoned or killed many of their citizens.

In spite of these betrayals, they aligned them self with America. After all, America has been the savior of so many in the past and the betrayals were engineered by Western Europe. They did not expect that any American president would aqueous to Russian pressure. President Obama shocked these counties and most Americans as he continues his platform of appeasement.

The irony of this move is that America gained absolutely nothing. Russia is still arming Iran and Venezuela, trying to create a puppet government in Georgia, and refuses further sanctions on Iran.

Is Obama deliberately ruining America’s reputation or is he just ignorant of history? It does not seem possible that anyone with his education could be so badly informed. His expansion of government powers to limit American’s liberties, being put into fruition by congress under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid, and foreign policy suggest a deliberate attempt at the destruction of America.

If the people do not replace congress with the right people in 2010 and then refute Obama in 2012, this country and the world are doomed.

Let's Not Lose Our Country

In light of the happenings of the past nine months, Nationalization of two thirds of the car industry, Cap ‘n’ Trade which gives the Federal Government the power to raise taxes willy-nilly, pending nationalization of healthcare, obvious admiration for Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and other communist dictators by Obama, recent flowery depiction of the murderous Fidel Castro by Maxine Waters, and a host of other socialist actions taken by Obama’s Administration and congress under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid are clear signs that the National Socialists have taken over our country. Flying the Communist Chinese flag on the Whitehouse Lawn is just a statement of their intentions.

If we do not vet new candidates and work super hard to get them elected by working phone banks, walking precincts, and getting out the vote, we will lose this country.

Quid Pro Quo In Sacramento

Does anyone really feel deprived by not having a train ride from L A to Sacramento available? I mean deprived to the tune of $200 billion. Is it really more necessary to be able to ride this choo-choo then to balance the budget?

This project should be dumped but Governor Schwarzenegger owes his supporters a $200 billion favor. That’s right, the taxpayers of this state will be paying off Arnold’s debts, not only to build it but even more money to promote it. His promoters will get a $9 million contract to promote it. Commission staff members charged with recommending a public relations firm have advised the board to give the contract to Mercury Public Affairs at its meeting. Staff members are former Mendelsohn colleagues. Governor Schwarzenegger strategist Adam Mendelsohn and Arnold’s 2006 election manager Steve Schmidt are partners at Mercury Public Affairs.

The state is broke and revenue sources are leaving the state by the droves. We need to change the makeup of Sacramento. Vet new candidates for the state Assembly and Senate. Pick the right ones. Work like never before to get the right people elected. Work the phone banks, walk precincts, and then get out the vote.

One of the things that made America different

Posted with permission of author Robert A. Gismondi

One of the things that made America different from all other nations is that a large percentage of Americans are either descended from those who came here for freedom and self-determination, or are immigrants themselves. We are not a conquered people, whose provinces are the result of border drawing by meddling officials as part of the Treaty of Versailles, or other treaties, dividing and re-dividing Europe into Kingdoms, Principalities, constitutional monarchies, or even Republics.

Americans wrested this land away from imperious Europeans, and owe neither fealty nor reverence for those whose rulers have been pre-determined, time and time again.

So, when committees start deciding how many "quality-adjusted life years" we have left, some of the patriots are going to begin considering how many "quality-adjusted life years" the bureaucrats have left, and conclude it is NONE. There will be blood in the streets; but, it will reduce the load on the healthcare system. Who is to say it is not in the spirit of the goals of the central planners?

We may just decide we do not need quite so many of them. And, I think we will, if it comes to pass.

This is not Europe. We shall not submit to barbarian hordes. That is something for the forces of evil to contemplate. But, hubris knows no bounds; and the obvious is often made manifest, throughout history, only with blood-letting. I do not expect it to come to that; but, if events unfold to our detriment, I believe that will be the final chapter.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE SHMOW IN SOCIALIST AMERIKA

This article published with permission form the auther Shari Goodman

The alarm clock (made in China because our cost of labor and services set by union apparachiks are cost prohibitive) goes off at 6:00. Joe Shmow hops out of bed, dresses in a suit made in Taiwan (cheap labor), and runs downstairs to get his first cup of coffee from a coffeemaker (you guessed it) made in China. He gulps down his drink and runs out the door to his waiting automobile (made in Japan) thanks once again to America's socialist unions.
This morning, Joe decides to take the side streets to work (freeways have become parking lots in Los Angeles thanks to socialist unions, whose open border policy promises to fill their coffers with more dues). The once paved and functioning roads he now travels are full of pot holes, thanks to the (socialist city council whose unfriendly business climate forced businesses to flee the city; thus, decreasing our city revenues.) As he drives down the street attempting to avoid the many pot holes, he can't help but notice the litter strewed at every corner. It is beginning to look a lot like a Third World city, and what was once a clean safe neighborhood has now become a safe haven for illegal criminals from south of the border. Thanks once again to the sanctuary city label bestowed upon us by our socialist city council.
Eventually Joe arrives at his workplace only to be told by his controller that he will have to lay off 10 of his employees. The increase in minimum wage, higher corporate taxes, and forced health care benefits for all has made it impossible for the company to turn a profit. To cut costs, he is now forced to lay off ten good men, thanks to our socialist city government at work. Joe becomes upset and begins to take his anger out at the workers. They in turn become upset and productivity and morale are at an all time low. After putting in a nearly 12 hour day, Joe arrives back home to be greeted by his lovely wife and 2 children in tow. He sits down with a drink in hand and a child on his lap, when he spots the big envelope from the County Tax Collector. Dreading what is inside, he slowly opens it. There inside and spelled out in plain black and white is the property increase tax he had been fearing. Disgusted that nearly half of his income is taken away from him by a government bent on redistributing it to the drug addicted woman who chose to drop out of school and proceed to give birth to 5 kids out of wedlock, he quickly gulps down his drink.
His lovely wife proceeds to tell him that Joey Jr. is not doing well in school. Joey Jr. and other students have complained about one particular teacher, but the principal refuses to fire her. The socialist union would be up in arms. No merit pay or school choice allowed. The private school just around the corner with high test scores and a curriculum that teaches the basics instead of indoctrinated political correctness would be ideal, but Joe Shmow's annual earnings have taken a dive due to increased regulations set forth by a socialist government who believes they know best how to spend Joe's money. Feeling now more dejected than ever, Joe decides to write a letter to his legislative representative, but he is reminded by his wife that since he lives in California where the legislature is primarily led by those on the Left, his attempt at change would be futile. So Joe like many before him has to make a choice. Should he stay in the Socialist Republic of California or should he seek greener pastures where the physical climate may not be as sunny, but the reception a whole lot warmer. He chooses with his feet as so many before him.

Desperate Need for Action

When the government distances it self from liberty loving people and begins to impose totalitarian rule that infringes on every aspect of their life, time has come for the people to stand as one and oppose this government. The people must choose new leaders who take the charge of being civil servants to heart and not a license to dominate our lives.

We must exercise our power of the vote now. For if we do not act and use the ballot those in power will achieve their goal of total control and the people will have to resort to other means to regain their God given right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It will be a tragedy of unimaginable proportions if we lose our only weapon, our vote. The stakes have never been higher. The future of liberty and freedom depends on what we do now. We must vet new candidates and work harder than we ever have before to elect the right candidates.

Obama-speak: Healthcare Reform = Socialized Medicine and Government Control of Life and Death

The discouraging fact about this rush to Socialized Medicine is that all legislators regardless of their political philosophy are working to create a huge government bureaucracy to control our health care industry. The size of this project shouts efficiency is impossible and waste and fraud are inescapable. The decision makers will be so far removed form the providers of health care that every decision will be made based on financial considerations and not on the needs of the patients. This will result in a system that will have the efficiency and dedication to service of a DMV worker.

After seeing that no matter how much they care they cannot provide the required service, the workers will have the passion of paper pushers. Just as is the case in every country with a state run health care system, fraud, and black market will flourish.

Since there will be no room for profit, private health care organizations will quickly disappear and state clinics will take over. Health care providers will be paid much less. This can be seen by the payments that are made by Medicaid and Medicare. They are about 41 cents on the dollar that private insurance firms pay. With that kind of a pay scale, we won’t find the best of the best getting into health care.

The wait time for major care will be too long for many patients to survive their illness. The only recourse one will have will be to bribe doctors and nurses to allow them to cut in line and receive the care needed.
This rush to socialism must be stopped else, we end up like every socialist state; lousy major care and people dying needlessly. A major change in local, state, and federal government legislators is needed.

Hidden Agenda of ObamaCare

Re-distribution of wealth encompasses more than just taking cash from those who earned it and giving it to those that didn’t. It includes denying the deserving.

The latest example is when several men qualified for advancement in their fire department but were not promoted because most of them where Caucasian. Now there were no quotas in place but it was decided that the politically correct thing to do was to deny them their due. Ms. Sonia Sotomayor summarily ruled that it was a proper decision. Soon, she will be confirmed to the highest court of the land.

This appointment along with Federal Government’s control of grants and loans to college students sets the stage for the use of criteria other than excellence graduating and hiring medical professionals. ObamaCare has provisions for selection of who will get to attend medical school, what fields of medicine they will study and practice, and where they will work. People with lesser qualifications will be admitted to medical school. The schools will be forced graduate not the best but an “equal representation” of the population. There will be no incentive to excel.

This means that the doctor diagnosing your ailment may not be knowledgeable enough to make an accurate assessment. Your dentist might have missed most of the classes on gum disease. How dedicated is a nurse who went through school with mediocre or even failing grades?

With ObamaCare, private medical practice will not exist. Medical professionals won’t be able to choose where to practice they will be placed where the government puts them. How dedicated will the medical professional be under these circumstances? How comfortable will you be, knowing that your life is in the hands of a disgruntled practitioner?

The Obama administration along with congress under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid are working to control you in all aspects of your life. ObamaCare is one other part of this socialist plan. We all must reject socialism else we lose all that past generations have fought and some died for. Do not let that happen. Be sure to vet, campaign for, and elect candidates that will stand for our great constitution; freedom of speech, individual rights, and liberty for all.

It’s Up to Us to Save America

In 2005 the Democrat Machine decided that their strategy to obtain absolute power would be to demonize President Bush and anyone remotely associated with his administration. Just like the Nazis of Germany, Communists of Russia, and all socialist dictators throughout history have done, the Democrats decided they would not argue or fight the opposition they will eliminate it.

This is just a one part of a multi-pronged attack for complete control of the country that would assure the destruction of any and all opposition to a National Socialist Dictatorship. Congress under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid is fast abdicating all power to the Obama Administration. Right now there is too much power in the hands of the Czars, EPA, and other agencies run by the administration. This country is in danger of one person rule by the end of Obama’s first term.
Americans must stand up to this threat by the National Socialists to create a socialist dictatorship. Get involved join a group, find your precinct captains, and work to elect the right people to stop this dangerous slide.

Iran Happenings

The general consensus is that the two political factions in Iran are two sides of the same coin, an Islamic ruled Iran.

There is also another ripple in the wind sweeping Iran. This wave does not have an open political party or leaders that are openly campaigning. These people are not allowed to be a part of the official political apparatus of Iran. The imams declare anyone not supporting an Islamic government as “not qualified” to campaign. But there are in Iran those that are ready to take advantage of a situation that would allow them to call for a democratic secular Iranian Republic. This I know not only form people like Amil but from acquaintances (Christian, Muslim, and Jew) with relatives in Iran.

I being the eternal optimist prefer to look towards brighter possibilities. If George Washington believed that the revolution would not succeed, we all Americans would still be subjects of the crown. There is no benefit in pessimism.

Today there was a Tweet from Iran that read “I gave my vote and now I am ready to give my life for a democratic Iran”. There is no way that I will desecrate that person’s patriotism, zeal, and hope with pessimistic oratory. When it comes to the human spirit, realism is just pessimism that beats up the hopeful sole. Idealism rarely triumphs 100% but it is the basis for the best form of government to ever come to mankind. It brought us a nation that was conceived, under God, with liberty and justice for all. It’s not perfect but way ahead of any other form of government. America, Czechoslovakia, Israel, and other free nations would not exist with out the idealism and determination of brave people.

Purpose of the Tea Parties

This country is in deep decline. We have let others take control of our destiny. Our lives have been too comfortable with so many distractions that we have neglected to plan the future of our country.

We have allowed our children to be misinformed about history, the value of self reliance, and the danger of allowing the government to “take care of things”. We have not paid enough attention to what has been happening. We have failed to vet our candidates properly and elected people who do not take the term “serving the people” to heart. We have failed to keep in touch with our legislators to congratulate them for doing a good job or admonishing them for their failures.

It is time for the American Spirit to soar again. It is time again to get involved and take action. The Tea Parties are rallying the people into action. It is now up to us the ground roots activists to continue the spirit of the original Tea Party which was the beginning of a free nation with liberty under God. The Tea Parties are getting the people together and give us the opportunity to motivate them to vet potential candidates and support those that will stand for freedom of speech, non-intrusive government, and liberty for all. We need to lead them to the phone banks and precinct walks to elect a new brand of candidates, ones who are not there for personal enrichment but are true servants of the people with passion and high principals.
