Healthcare Reform; Obama Lied…America Died

2009-11-09T19:29:00.001-08:00

What makes it difficult to move the healthcare dialogue in any direction is the intense emotional attachment most attention paying Americans hold. And…”as usual in heated debates” the first casualty is the facts. Then again; democrats never let the facts get in the way of a well timed crisis. A crisis by the way, that…as usual, democrats created and then act as innocent bystanding gawkers to the wreck they were in charge of. If you think about it you might see an analogy with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
President Bamster has often argued that health insurance companies need more competition, and he's proposed a public option for health insurance to provide it.
"There have been reports just over the last couple of days of insurance companies making record profits, right now," Obama said during a prime-time news conference. "At a time when everybody's getting hammered, they're making record profits, and premiums are going up. What's the constraint on that? ... Well, part of the way is to make sure that there's some competition out there."
Usually, I take for granted that when the liar in chief is moving his lips, America is getting a dump truck full of bovine excrement but; lending to the import of this legislation on the future of our country I took the time for due diligence and gum-shoed the hell out of this subject. Here are the facts.

1.Insurance company profits. "For every premium dollar that they take in, about 83 cents goes out in medical costs -- doctors, hospitals, and drugs," says Carl McDonald, health insurance analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. The rest is spent on overhead. Net income comes to just a few cents per dollar of premiums. Consider WellPoint, the biggest private health insurer on Wall Street, which has about 35 million customers nationwide. Last year, it paid out 83.6% of revenues in expenses. Net, after-tax income as a percentage of total revenue came to a princely 4.1%. Returns on assets, a key measure of profitability, are typically pretty modest too. According to analysis by Fact Set, WellPoint's ROA has averaged 5.8% over the past five years, Aetna's, 4.2%. Those were, remember, supposedly boom years. UnitedHealth was higher, at 9.6%, but fell to 6.4% in 2008. These are reasonable, but hardly spectacular, results. By comparison, Wal-Mart averaged a 9.2% return on its assets and Dell, Inc. 12.4%.

2.Obama claims that a government-run, “public option” would increase competition and lower insurance premiums. In baseball parlance this is a lobbed pitch, right over the plate and I’ve got a bat the size of a giant redwood. Contrary to public perception there are not a handful of evil, monolithic insurance providers gleefully denying coverage to all but Olympic sprinters and millionaires. At last count there were over 1300 health insurance providers. The fly in the ointment, the monkey in the wrench is that the states allow very little competition.
3.Healthcare is a right. Oh really…? The best of my recollection as to the bill of rights excludes any mention of healthcare. If we were to include healthcare as a right where then do we draw the line? Food, shelter, transportation? We are endowed by our creator with rights. Yet, rights exist not in a vacuum. My right to speak doesn’t require you to listen. My right to keep arms doesn’t require you to subsidize that right by purchasing a firearm for me. Our freedom of the press doesn’t allow for taxpayers to finance the fourth article of government. My point is this, rights are not reciprocal. Your rights end when they burden me. Extrapolated; government healthcare cannot be a right as it won’t exist without impinging on my rights via a subsidizing taxation to bestow upon you a right that is not one.

4.The real costs of healthcare are insurance. No so Skippy. Consider this scenario. I own a construction company with one hundred big, burley, belching, and ass scratching men. And…because deep down I am a benevolent employer, all around good guy and soft hearted. So…I offer to my men comprehensive health insurance. Enter the state. I cannot buy a group policy for my burley worker that does not include free, annual breast exams, screening for breast cancer. It’s the law and more often than not referred to as a mandate. States often require insurers to insure there workers for smoking cessation programs, mental health, drug and alcohol rehab, sexual orientation counseling, In-Vitro Fertilization, Morbid Obesity Treatment, Hair Prosthesis, Viagra, Penis pumps, Athletic trainer, Circumcision, Hair prosthesis, Midwife, Naturopath, Oriental medicine, Pastoral counseling,
Port wine stain elimination (birthmark removal)
Residential crisis service
Source: Council for Affordable Health Insurance etc., etc. I also learned that there are nearly 2,133 mandates like these, “spread throughout the states” which are responsible for group health insurance premium increases of 20 to 50 percent.
5. Insurance companies routinely refuse per-existing conditions leaving the most infirm SOL. This postulation ignores Congressman John Shadeggs state High Risk Pool Finding Extension Act of 2006. President Bush signed into law the State High Risk Pool Finding Extension Act of 2006. This bill authorized grant funding for the establishment and operation of state high-risk insurance pools. Now, 35 states offer such pools that already insure more than 200,000 Americans with another 4 million who are eligible to participate.

Republicans’ work has not stopped there, though. In fact, every current Republican health care proposal addresses the issue. Shadegg’s bill, the Improving Health Care for All Americans Act, H.R. 3218, would expand state high-risk pools so that all 50 states can offer choices for affordable health insurance coverage to those who need it most.

6. Insurance companies can compete with the government. Not bloody likely mate. With the most profitable of the gargantuan, Satin loving insurance companies posting profits of between 2% and 4% percent, “compared to the standard return on investment of the S&P 500 at 11%” consider if you will them having to compete with an entity that need not show a profit, has the ability to print monies and can apply regulations to the insurance companies that their federal competitors need not abide with.

There are inequities in healthcare capitalism; mainly because, in that arena, capitalism has been adulterated. Government is already responsible for 47% of health insurance and it is their heavy handedness most culpable for the rising costs. In Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements providers are normally paid pennies on the dollar. In many cases this accounts for a net loss to the provider necessitating increased charges to those patients not enjoying Uncle Sams’ largess.

Estimates from, “the Council for Healthcare reform” estimates that the cost of government compliance represents 25% of the providers’ costs. The same watchdog group posits that defensive medicine accounts for as much as 35% of the physicians cost. These are widely viewed as unnecessary tests to protect the doctor from legal action. In this vein imagine the financial results of tort reform capping malpractice judgments to compensatory damages only. An honest medical mistake should not be a winning lottery ticket. For those gross instances of a drunk or drugged up surgeon and similar cases, patients should be compensated for their loss and doctors would be accountable under the rules of medical standards and practices as well as criminal laws of negligent conduct and reckless disregard.

Though, constitutionally congress does have a role to play. The failure of states to allow insurance companies to operate across state lines is the quintessential role of the federal government to exercise its constitutional authority without overstepping its role. The Commerce Clause is an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution (Article 1, Section 8, and Clause 3). The clause states that the United States Congress has the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, among the states, and with the Native American tribes. Courts and commentators have tended to discuss each of these three areas of commerce as a separate power granted to the Congress of the United States. It is common to see the Commerce Clause referred to as "the Foreign Commerce Clause," "the Interstate Commerce Clause," and "the Indian Commerce Clause," each of which refers to a different application of the same single sentence in the Constitution.

It might sound convoluted and complicated but simply stated it is this. The federal government has only the enumerated authority to allow insurance providers to sell their wares across state lines and no other federal authority exists. The, “fixes” to soaring healthcare cots are as simple as they are stark. Less is more; the solutions involve the free market, capitalism and limited government. Government needs to simply get the hell out of the way and let America work; after all, it always has.

Conservative Women Man-UP

2009-11-04T18:47:00.000-08:00

Sadly, “for most republicans”, it took two conservative women to kick democrats in the groin while kicking sand in the face of establishment Republican soothsayers.
Sara Palin was first on the scene in the New York 23rd Congressional race, long before the Limbaugh’s and Hannity’s; and …. It’s Michelle Bachmann taking the fight against socialized healthcare to Nancy Pelosi’s front door this Thursday.
Granted, congressional candidate Doug Hoffman failed in his congressional bid, though…in large part because of the, “overly plump” and “overly liberal” Dierdre Scozzafava who, after dropping out of the race endorsed the democrat and whose name appeared on the ballot, “TWICE” garnering five percent of the vote. By sheer happenstance five percent would have secured the win for Hoffman.
While these feisty femme fatale fearlessly fight for the constitution and conservatism in general, they also offer an object lesson to the Gingrichs’ and Steeles’ of the party.

Conservatives are tired of being treated like a baby treats a diaper by the Republican Party. We intend to rebuild the Republican Party; brick by brick if necessary and bring it back to Reagan Conservatism. You tea sipping, limp wristed, big tent moderates, stand in our way at your political peril.
No longer may you count on our support for the sake of party affiliation. After all; conservatives now have real men to get behind… and they are women.
Now…if you have paid even scant attention to the Bamster’s media, “and taken them seriously” you’d have thought that Kenyan born Barack Yo’ Mama actually campaigned against the two Democrat contenders in New Jersey and Virginia. Don’t ya know; that two democrats getting their asses handed to them after Kim Jong Barry whisked into their states and ponied up his star power couldn’t be, “in no way” a reflection of dissatisfaction for the messiah or his agenda. Of course, the state controlled media is playing along.
Yet…much different was the portrayal of the Bush administration in 2001 when Jon Corzine won the governorship of the Soprano state and Virginia went from red to Bolshevik pink . Following is a few select quotes from CNN, MSNBC, Associated Press and the “over the air” media.
1. WASHINGTON - Iraq, Katrina, CIA leak, Harriet Miers. Things couldn’t possibly get any worse for President Bush.
Wait, they just did.
Bush put his wispy political prestige on the line in the Virginia governor’s race and lost Tuesday when the candidate he embraced in a last-minute campaign stop was soundly defeated. While there are many reasons for Jerry Kilgore’s defeat, chief among them his poor campaign, giddy Democrats said the Virginia race as well as a Democratic victory in New Jersey prove that Bush is a political toxin for Republicans.
2. “The arrogance of saying, ‘I’m the Great George Bush. I’m coming to Virginia in the 12th hour and pulling Kilgore’s bacon out of the fire.’ I think he rallied Democrats with that move,” said Steve Jarding, a Democratic political consultant who helped elect Virginia’s current governor, Mark Warner.

3. At least Virginia is a Republican state that Bush won by 9 percentage points a year ago, making it fair barometer of the president’s political decline. New Jersey is solidly Democrat, won by Bush rival John Kerry.
4. Polls had Kilgore tied with Kaine headed into the final day when Bush flew from Panama to Virginia and laid his bets. It was a risky decision, ensuring that the president would be blamed for a Kilgore defeat. White House officials said Bush might as well go because in the current environment he would be blamed anyhow.
They were right.
In closing; we need to look at whom, “on our side” is applying the testicular fortitude to go to war with these socialist slugs and the media they stand behind. Thankfully…hell hath no fury like a conservative woman. I’m just saying…

Monica and Healthcare

2009-10-29T19:09:00.001-07:00

Monica and Healthcare

Does anyone really think that Barack, “the Magic negro” gives one whit about their healthcare…really? This, from the ungrateful wretch that questioned his grandmother’s hip replacement surgery at an advanced age; that to this day allows his half brother to live in an 8 by 10 thatched roof, mud hut. Yet, this is the man held up by the left as the paragon of compassion.
I’m not renting it much less buying. So…why is the Bamster willing to sacrifice the Democrat party and give America healthcare that it doesn’t want? Hmmm…? It’s actually not that hard to figure out. All you have to do is think like a socialist weasel.

With government run healthcare Obama gets it all. This is the Democrat wet dream. Yet; when one dares to criticize the Bamster’s healthcare circle jerk he and his staff act like the indignant girl that got felt-up at the prom.

Has anyone ever heard of the United States Supreme Court decision in Oklahoma v. Civil Service Commission?
Synoptically, for brevity, the court found that in all endeavors…involving federal funds, with that comes an inalienable iron grip of the federal bureaucracy in all matters wherein the feds; “in Tony Soprano like fashion”, extort monies from the electorate and distribute it. Those receiving such federal funds are beholden to the strings Washington might apply.
Now comes government-run “and endowed” healthcare.
Since the courts have already allowed that with government largess comes government strings imagine this. Guns are a healthcare danger, “as recently quoted by an Obama Czar” so…the government won’t take your gun; oh no…but…because it is a health danger, and…government funds are involved in your healthcare they can require you to buy insurance for your weapon. Just in case it goes on a killing spree and endangers health. You fatty’s out there, “and you know who you are” suddenly your debit card doesn’t work at McDonalds. And…how about us smokers of fine tobacco? Well boys and girls, friends and neighbors, the addiction we have succumbed to we share with Washington. They are addicted to our cigarette taxes. So, we’ll only have to pay twice as much for half the healthcare as the rest of you.

Government run healthcare gets the governments finger in every pie. Why do you think it was the first thing Billy Bob Huckster Clinton tried? The only difference between then and now is Monica Lewinski.

It’s official; Osama Obama is the Manchurian President

2009-10-05T17:48:00.000-07:00

The Bamster’s approach to governance only sanctions supports and corroborates a supposition that we conservatives have wildly held since Obama, “pimp strolled” into the United States Senate and uttered the phrase, “Where’s all the white women?

In addition to B. Hussein’s demonstrable, elitist ego, audacity, bluster, braggadocios and his rambling speeches focusing on I, I, I, Me, Me, Me… “A psychological foible”; He also suffers from a mental defect in that he has grand illusions of himself as the emperor of the world and Mullah to the multitudes.

Obama once told Nevada Senator and “straight jacket eligible” Harry, “the wimp” Reid that he has a gift for great oratory. This from the man that uses a teleprompter when ordering a happy meal and by most accounts in the Presidential bedroom, when engaging in a romantic interlude with his American hating spouse. Its little wonder Michelle Obama seems to always appear unsatisfied…and mad. After all; Obama’s teleprompter has an almost defiant propensity for malfunctioning.

In short work Obamalama-ding-dong has not only insulted one of our staunchest allies, “and the only true Democracy in the Middle-East…Israel; He has sided with the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. The President a, “suspected Muslim” railed against new Israeli construction in the West Bank with either a complete ignorance of the geographic, historical relevance of the disputed territories or, “and more than likely” he has chosen to side with those of his own faith.

History 101; Pencils down…eyes forward. The West Bank before the Arab invasion and the six day war of 1967 belonged to Jordan; never to the Palestinians…NEVER! As a matter of fact the Jordanians hated the Palestinians. Israel captured said land in a defensive war and held it as a spoil of war…a memento if you will. It was then that Jordan expelled all Palestinians as thugs, rabble rousers and turban wearing troglodytes. The Jordanians expelled these terrorists to Israel and Libya. One might observe that before the influx of Palestinians into the country of Libya most international travelers cited Libya as the Monte Carlo of the Middle East. Today it is most aptly described as the butt-plug of the Middle East. Obama’s kindred Palestinians are no better than cockroaches…yet the Bamster puts on Sinatra, chills champagne and bends over for these animals.
One might ask…Why, oh why won’t any Arab or Persian country come to the rescue of these deranged damsels in Burkhas and give them sanctuary or at least a flop at Hijab motel eight. Short answer…They realize them to be fanatical Muslims that often go BOOM!
Yet; B.H.O. has insisted that the west bank be returned to these Palestinians thus giving them the high ground, overlooking Israel. Incidentally the west bank is the Nirvana for a geographic and strategic attack on Israel with the Palestinian Kassam rockets. The azimuth sighting and the geographic range from the West bank would allow these thug animals to be much more accurate in their sighting and target acquisitions thus ensuring Israeli School children be murdered by the bushel. After all, there’s nothing more threatening to the Palestinians than little Debbie with her Benjamin Netanyahu lunch box. Of course, we might overlook their mission statement to kill as many innocent Israelis as possible…gleefully and without remorse.

Then, an “intellectual” need only contemplate “Dumbo ears”, hen pecked executive order to completely abandon Americas long held promise to place defensive missiles in Poland and the Czech Republic to protect Eastern Europe from medium and long range missiles…by the way; it would also give America a practice shot at any ICBM headed for Newark.
The White House spin from useful idiot, “mostly incoherent” Robert, “I like to lie” Gibbs postulates that the Iranian missile program would not have the ability to fire an ICBM with the capacity of reaching the contiguous United States. After all; the arrogant press secretary uttered one of the most ill informed and deception posits ever to come out of the White House since Bubba Clinton got a Lewinski in the oval office and then parsed the word, “that depends what the meaning of is, is.

The fly in this ointment; the monkey in the wrench is as simple as the nose on your face…or the ears on Dumbo, “big ears “the Bamster!
Apparently Bamster INC. has concluded that intercontinental nuclear transport is too complicated for the Persians and we are as safe as a virgin girl surrounded by Catholic priests.

Of course this dynamic, treacherous tangent ignores Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hitting the glowing red button, firing off a two stage solid fuel rocket and deploying their hunk-a-junk space satellite. The Iranian Republic Guard recently fired off a low orbit satellite, technology employed in the pursuit of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. OOPS!

Still; Obama keeps touting his chit-chat with Arab and Persian animals that have sworn an oath to destroy Israel and then America.
And… the Islamic cherry on top of this Sunni-Shia Sundae is POTUS pissant Bam-Bam telling the General that he, “personally picked” to sacrifice American soldiers in Afghanistan and make due with forty thousand too few troops.

Just yesterday eight of those troops gave the last full measure of their devotion to this great country. Meanwhile…Obama gave another speech.

Like Father, Like Son?

Like Father, Like Son?

You know; I like to think my ole man is a pretty smart feller. After all; he did contribute to the DNA that I possess. Though…I have refined and improved on his genetic composition. Think of it this way, Einstein’s pop could barely tie his own shoes and spent his golden years yelling at cats.

My dad chooses to spend his golden years hustling the nursing homes for elderly damsels and “in a Cinderella like analogy” continues to search for that blue-haired babe that left her dentures in the back seat of his Dodge. I’m just saying.

Another thing dad has a propensity to do is to postulate absurd arguments and then search for coherent constructs by which to support nonsense.

To wit; pap recently revered the dialogical discourse deriding the second amendment as most of the American demographic is too dumb to safely caretaker a firearm and propped up this straw-dog by enunciating that oft eluded to Democrat vernacular-ease by way of, “think of the children”…don’t ya know. These are the times when I suspect I was adopted.
Still…I try to remain positive and look upon this beguiling blather as a fast ball across the plate. And; as such view this as an opportunity to hit it out of the park…batter up!

Dad’s argument that guns in the home are unsafe because, “don’t ya know” little Ricky is going to get his hands on it, sooner or later. Well spank my ass and call me Judy.
This half-assed, half-baked, short-bus condescension sends me from zero to pissed off in a nano-second. After all; it’s the same ole tired template. We have to give boys condoms, because…hey, they’re going to have sex anyway…we have to give eleven year old girls birth control pills…because they’re going to have sex anyway. We have to provide on-demand abortion because they’ll have abortions anyway. We might as well legalize illicit drugs and prostitution, because…it’s going to happen anyway.

Well boys and girls, friends and neighbors, murders, rape and anarchy poises an attack on the moral fabric that is this country every damn day. And…since we, “KNOW” it’s going to happen; why not legalize it?

Even overlooking that pesky second amendment those who wring their hands over personal gun possession are out to save a world that doesn’t need saving. Sure; some rubes will inadvertently leave their .44 magnum, loaded and in little Timmy’s crib. And of course…it only stands to reason that Timmy will take out his sister and parents before suckling the barrel himself. Yet; I would postulate my friends that this is exactly how we become a more intelligent people. Dumb people of all ages need be shot in the head. After all; one less idiot is one less welfare hog on the teat of America….Nuff Said!

Turn Out the Lights; the Parties Over!

2009-09-21T19:10:00.000-07:00

For an economics wonk, “such as I” observing the market guys, the economy guys and the political spinsters contort the economic health of America into a daily sound bite is like explaining Einstein’s theory of space and time by saying, “fast is slow”.

Practically absent in the economic debate is our blossoming debt and the dire consequences we face as it explodes under the Bamster. Don’t get me wrong; I bitched, moaned and opined when the Bushwhacker upped the federal ante. But, Obama has taken America’s credit card and not left the White House without it.

We have in the best of times, a $14 trillion dollar economy. We have $12 trillion dollars in debt, “mostly to China” and a Federal budget approaching $4 trillion dollars. Each year since 1969, Congress has spent more money than its income. The Treasury Department has to borrow money to meet Congress's appropriations.

We pay interest on that huge debt. And now the Treasury is having trouble finding lenders! Every week at the C.M.E., “Chicago Mercantile Exchange” we have bond auctions. Basically, this is the treasury selling our debt to finance our government largess. Up until a year ago, foreign investors, “China” hedge funds, and bond traders would purchase this debt in the form of long and short term treasury bonds…think I.O.U’s. Yet; those heady days are gone my friends. The world now treats the dollar much as a baby treats a diaper. So…enter the Federal Reserve, also known as Goldman Sachs. By the way; in a completely unrelated story…Lehman Brothers, “now defunct” was the only super bank allowed to fail and, “I’m just saying” just happened to be the only competition for Goldman Sachs, “AKA, the Federal Reserve”. Nothing to see here, keep moving. Where was I?

Oh Yeah, the monetization of our debt. Since the rest of the world is living in economic sanity our Federal Reserve is not only printing our currency, they are also using it to purchase our debt from their evil twin, the Treasury. Think of it this way; you use your credit card to buy that big screen television that you’ve been pining for. Then…you write a bad check to pay your credit card bill.

So…how is the Federal Reserve paying for our debt? Simple, they are printing dollars on every damn thing they can fit into their printing presses. The ensuing inflation that will result from this fiduciary folly will make Germanys Weimar Republic look like Mayberry’s lady druggist raising Aunt Bea’s miracle cure by a dime. Think of it this way; imagine moo juice at $100.00 a gallon and my favorite bourbon costing a Porsche.

Yet; sadly, that isn’t the worst or the signature of this ingenious postulation. Add to our increasing debt of $12 trillion dollars another $65 trillion in unfunded federal liabilities, currently on the books. As even the Bamster himself has said, “this is unsustainable”. Yet he and the Democrat congress keep spending.

Frankly; it is probably too late. Countries traditionally expire large debt with production. Think of the 110% debt to GDP ratio America incurred during WW2. Though; we held the anvil of production. We made things. Today a full 70% of our economy is service oriented. What are we going to do? Loan our shyster trial lawyers to China so that they can sue the hell out of each other? Not bloody likely governor.

Obama had a small window early in his Presidency to signal fiscal fidelity to a world awash in dollars. And…as the Federal Reserve halts Treasury purchases at years end, “as they have promised to do”. We will see the beginning of the end. By the way America; last man standing should turn out the lights…the parties over.

Conservatism

2009-09-14T18:46:00.000-07:00

An admonition for those persons or person intent upon reading the ideas and tenets of conservatism I am about to proffer in this soon to be award winning literary composition. I offer a warning in the interest of mental and physical health. Liberals when confronted with the philosophy of conservatism have been known to suffer anxiety, mental confusion, hives, and irritable bowel syndrome and on rare occasions revert to a fetal position, sobbing hysterically while sucking their thumb. Having been forewarned let’s get this party started. Please hang on tight.
A common misconception when labeling conservatives is that we are all racists, sexists, bigoted homophobes. In short we are bible thumping rubes driving pickup trucks with a shotgun rack in the window, along with a rebel flag sitting next to our fourteen year old spouse who also happens to be our cousin. We are illiterate tobacco chewing, Hee Haw watching, toothless, poor white trash. These are but a few of the insulting stereotypes in the vast array of adjectives, used to discredit conservatives. Most are untrue. Well, some are untrue. These assertions are put forth by the left in order to marginalize us as extreme right wing kooks who should not have a forum. The liberal left in this country can ill afford a debate in the arena of ideas with true conservatives. Instead we are labeled as the right wing fringe and until recently have not been seriously included in the national debate. For decades in this country the conservative voice wasn’t just marginalized it was completely ignored. In 1985 that all changed when Rush Limbaugh got hold of a microphone and the national monologue became a dialogue.

Though Limbaugh’s audience share in the beginning was sparse he has turned his, EIB network comprised only of The Rush Limbaugh show into the Top radio show in the country with a dedicated weekly audience of 13.5 million regular listeners and up to 22 million part time listeners. Limbaugh is widely credited with saving talk radio when many experts believed it to be a fading medium. He was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1993. In 2002, industry publication Talkers Magazine ranked him as the greatest radio talk show host of all time. Liberals have put forth the argument that the vast audiences of The Rush Limbaugh show are mind numbed robots who haven’t the necessary capabilities to analyze current political events or the intellect to think for themselves. This is complete sophistry.

As evidence I provide the following reasonable conclusion based on a Pew Poll recently released. Judged by the respondent answers to three knowledge questions, the most informed audiences belong to the political magazines, Rush Limbaugh's radio show, The O'Reilly Factor, news magazines, and online news sources. Rush Limbaugh isn’t the only star in vast cavalcade of conservatism. One of our best known, most respected in conservative circles and most controversial keeper of the torch, is the brilliant, witty and extremely direct in her prose, Ann Coulter, celebrated author and speaker.

I offer this back round knowledge of our two most prominent conservatives only to present this insight, bonafides, as a walking, talking, gun toting conservative in good standing, able to enunciate a true conservative point of view.
Probably the most recognizable descriptor attached to conservative thought would be anti- abortion. Though apt, it is often misunderstood by those unfortunate souls who happen to be liberal. Conservatives do oppose abortion on moral grounds but we are equally offended by the adulteration of our constitution. To conservatives, the constitution of the United States is sacrosanct. In the case of Roe V. Wade, the United States Supreme court found a general right to privacy in the constitution where one did not exist. The constitution does not explicitly mention any right of privacy. Simplistically the United States Supreme Court did not interpret law but made new law. The making of new law is the explicit domain of an elected congress. Abortion is a social issue and not a legal conundrum. As such it should be the decision of the people through their elected representatives.
What is so frustrating to conservatives is the hijacking of our constitution by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court consists of nine lawyers with all of the foibles and flaws shared as mere humans. They do not reside on Mount Olympus nor do they walk on water, contrary to their personal beliefs, though distasteful to conservatives, legal constitutional abortions could be performed in this country without subjugating the constitution to the Supreme Court. Before the Roe case, abortion was legal in some states and illegal in others. The populace of the state through their representation decided that question after a public debate. Effectively what the Supreme Court did was to end the debate about abortion, or so they thought.
A stark contrast between conservative and liberal thought, can also be found in the arena of just what is the government’s responsibility to its citizenry. Liberals proudly articulate the vast numbers of Americans, “legal and illegal” that their sponsored programs have helped. Conservatives on the other hand measure successful governance by the number of people who no longer need help. Contrary to popular opinion, cold hearted, evil conservatives do believe there is a place for government in helping its electorate yet that help should have defined and measurable goals with the ultimate goal of self sufficiency. Conservatives believe strongly in the traits that make us distinctly American, self reliance and personal responsibility.
As an example of good conservative governance, I cite Bill Clinton’s Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Since 1996 welfare rolls have been cut by almost 60%, 1.6 million fewer children live in poverty, and more single mothers are employed than ever. While republicans and conservatives, “not always equivalent” were torturing puppies and robbing from the poor to further endow the rich, Bill Clinton was saving the world and reforming welfare. On the tenth anniversary of the welfare reform act Bill Clinton wrote in the New York Times, “TEN years ago today I signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. By then I had long been committed to welfare reform. As a governor, I oversaw a workfare experiment in Arkansas in 1980 and represented the National Governors Association in working with Congress and the Reagan administration to draft the welfare reform bill enacted in 1988.Yet when I ran for president in 1992, our system still was not working for the taxpayers or for those it was intended to help. In my first State of the Union address, I promised to “end welfare as we know it,” to make welfare a second chance, not a way of life, exactly the change most welfare recipients wanted it to be.” Pause for laughter. “Author inserted”
Welfare reform did work and was applauded by conservatives, after all it was the republican congress that sponsored and passed this bill, three times. President Clinton vetoed the bill twice and only acquiesced as he faced an upcoming election. As reported in Investors Business Daily on 8/23/06. It was a Republican bill passed by a Republican Congress, signed after 30 Republican governors sent Clinton a letter urging him to sign it, saying: "You have consistently said that we must 'end welfare as we know it.' The time is now. This is the bill. The rest is up to you." The welfare reform act is a good example of conservative legislation.

Public education is one of the most argued and divisive subjects on our collective social radar. The debate on this subject always becomes more heated during an election year due to the diverse opinions on both sides of the spectrum. Common ground in theory if not action is that we must have more funding for public education and our public school teachers are pitifully underpaid. Both Republicans and Democrats will recite this mantra on cue as this is what the public has been brainwashed to believe. Conservatives need not engage in this debate because the debate is over. What debate I rhetorically ask. The trifecta is to add class size to the non-debate and look sad.

We constantly hear that in some schools class sizes are as much as twenty five or more students per one teacher, a ratio that critics claim, “liberals or pseudo liberals” causes little Timmy not to read. Japan, Korea and Brazil have average class sizes of fifty students or more and yet these three countries continually mop the floor with us in international scholastics competition.

We are also forced to listen to the constant harping of the underpaid public school teacher. My first question is this, if we paid teachers more would our children graduate school better educated? The national average salary for a public school teacher is $45, 930. (5) When you consider public school teachers get summers off and go home at 3:00 everyday perhaps we should all get a teaching certificate. Before I forget, my Robert Morris College instructors are woefully underpaid and I will testify to that. Surprisingly recent numbers haven’t been released but as of 2003 as a nation we spent an average of $7500 per student enrolled in our public schools. (6) In New York they spend $11,474 per student only to be eclipsed by Washington D. C. (7) I would point out that what our public school system lacks is not funding, but competition. Student test scores and graduation rates have never been correlated to an increase in funding. Most American workers are compensated based on factors such as production, ambition, attitude, performance and results. If we introduce competition into our public schools and our public school teachers, the benefits will be reaped by our children. After all, it is our tax dollars that support theses scholastic endeavors. The governmental bureaucracy attacks the problem of public education with its usual aplomb. Raise taxes and spend more. As conservatives we believe we are overtaxed and under served. Taxes are the lifeblood of government, the crack cocaine to the politico and many of us right wing rubes think it’s time to twelve step our addicted electors.

One of the biggest frauds perpetrated on the public is that the rich don’t pay taxes and the poor get hosed. To the contrary, the poor of this country do not pay taxes and it is the rich taking the hosing. I say this as one of the poor, irony inserted. For one side of the political spectrum to carp about tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the poor is not only sophistry but fraudulent. The latest data from the internal revenue service indicates the top 50% of wage earners pay 96.54% of all federal taxes and unbelievably the top 1% of wage earners pay 34.27% of all federal taxes. (8) For those who matriculated through the public school system these percentages might seem inconsequential, yet when combined with the class warfare arguments promulgated from the left, one can only conclude an attempt at public deception. Liberals argue against tax cuts for the rich and in the same breath whine about job creation. Has anyone ever gotten a job from a poor person? Good government should create an environment that is conducive to business and get out of the way. The extolled myth that the wealthy do not pay taxes needs to finally be scrapped, along with others urban legends, “manmade global warming, evolution, a general right to privacy, dangerous second hand smoke and the innocence of O. J. to name a few.”

Simply put, conservatives believe in lower taxes, smaller government and personal freedoms. With personal freedoms we also expect personal responsibility. We know that our constitution does not have any language that separates church and state. We believe as Ronald Reagan did that government is not the solution to our problems but that big government is the problem. We believe in American exceptionalism and manifest destiny. We hail Ronald Reagan as one of our greatest presidents and ask ourselves what we can do for our country. We believe in God. We believe there is no moral relativism between us and terrorist. We believe that capitalism is simply freedom to engage in commerce. We believe the United States Constitution to be the greatest document ever conceived and consider it sacrosanct. We believe that this country offers more possibilities to it’s citizenry than any other country in the history of time. We believe that any citizen can go as far in this country as their aptitude, ambition and energy will take them. We believe that all men and women are created equal, but not the same. We believe the people should decide issues of social policy and not a judge or judges. We believe in personal property rights. We believe in law and order and demand that those who break our laws pay full price. We believe we have dominion over the earth and a responsibility to it. Conservatives are eternal optimist, because we believe.

Socialized HealthCare

2009-08-30T17:34:00.000-07:00

Have We Tried Socialism Before?

Did you know that the first [Plymouth Colony Pilgrim's] Thanksgiving was a celebration of the triumph of private property and individual initiative?
William Bradford was the governor of the original Pilgrim colony, founded at Plymouth in 1621. The colony was first organized on a communal basis, as their financiers required. Land was owned in common. The Pilgrims farmed communally, too, following the "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs" precept.
The results were disastrous. Communism didn't work any better 400 years ago than it does today. By 1623, the colony had suffered serious losses. Starvation was imminent.
(1) In his diary, Bradford wrote; “. . . the young men . . . did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without any recompense. The strong . . . had not more in division . . . than he that was weak and not able to do a quarter the other could; this was thought injustice. The aged and graver men to be ranked and equalized in labors and victuals, clothes, etc . . . thought it some indignity and disrespect unto them. And the men's wives to be commanded to do service for other men, as dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc., they deemed it a kind of slavery, neither could many husbands well brook it."

Governor Bradford concluded drastic measures were of need. He scrapped the communal system and assigned each family a plot of land for them to farm. All hazards, as well as any reward would be attributed to the landowner. The results were astounding:
(1)Bradford wrote, "This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn, which before would allege weakness and inability, whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression."
In infancy, America experimented with socialism, “or communism lite” and found it lacking. The separatists who founded this country did so with individual freedoms as their cornerstone, “religious and otherwise”. And…capitalism is simply the freedom to engage in commerce.
Socialized healthcare would seem to UN-learn the lessons of Americas first settlers.

Is Healthcare a Right?
Americans have been conditioned to assume, “rights” where “need” resides. Human rights are not reciprocal and do not exist in a vacuum. Whereas we have freedom of speech, yet… no one is required to listen. We enjoy the freedom of religion; yet…churches are not built at the taxpayers’ expense. The freedom to assemble and protest our government is a fundamental right, though; the individual is responsible for carrying their own sign. Our second amendment grants us the right to possess firearms, yet…your neighbor isn’t put upon to contribute to its purchase. Simply; a right comes not at the expense of another’s right. Socialized healthcare would impinge on your neighbors’ right to keep the fruits of their labors and the most basic right of choice as government would assume the role as arbiter in individual medical choice.

How Much Will Free Healthcare cost?

Democrats have spent their summer recess insuring the American electorate that the hoards of illegal aliens would not be covered under the Federal Health Insurance program. The president said:
“This has been an example of just pure misinformation out there. None of the bills that have been voted on in Congress, and none of the proposals coming out of the White House propose giving coverage to illegal immigrants — none of them. That has never been on the table; nobody has discussed it. So everybody who is listening out there, when you start hearing that somehow this is all designed to provide health insurance to illegal immigrants that is simply not true and has never been the case”.(4)

(2) H.R. 3693, a bill introduced by the Democrats has greatly contributed to Medicaid fraud. Before that bill became law, proof of citizenship was required when applying for Medicaid. H.R. 3693 changed that when it was passed in 2007. Now those enrolling in Medicaid are not even required to show identification.
This law virtually ensures that the 12-20 million illegal’s illegally in this country would automatically be enrolled in any institutional public indemnity.
President Obama and his Democrat cohorts have exalted the public option as the center piece of their reform, citing it as a cost saving mechanism. The Congressional budget office refutes these claims and scores the house bill as a net gain in costs of $1.5 trillion dollars. (3)
David Walker, former comptroller General of the United States was appointed by President Clinton. He recently resigned his position so that he could speak frankly to the American people.
In a presentation to the National Press Foundation, January 17, 2008, Mr. Walker brought forth the following facts and projections:
1. From 1966 to 2006, the percentage of federal funds spent on Medicare rose from 1% to 19%. This trend will grow exponentially as millions of “baby boomers” enter the entitlement pool.
2. For the same period, spending for mandated government commitments rose from 26% to 53% of the total budget. The budget is increasingly out of the control of government officials.
3. As of 2007, Medicare is running in arrears. In 2017 Social Security will be in deficit. By the year 2040, Medicare and Social Security alone will be running annual deficits of nearly 900 billion dollars.
4. Medicare spending from now until 2032 will be 235% of economic growth. By 2040, Medicare will be spending about 10% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product annually, and the annual deficits of the United States will total some 20% of the total Gross Domestic Product.
The bottom line is this: mandated fiscal entitlements, projected into the future, are over 52,000 billion dollars. That will equal 90% of all household wealth in the U.S., and will place a burden of over 450 thousand dollars on every household in the land. This is almost ten times the present median household income level.
Mr. Walker concludes that “We face large and growing structural deficits largely due to known demographic trends and rising health care costs.” Further, “GAO’s simulations show that balancing the budget in 2040 could require actions as large as cutting total federal spending by 60 percent, or raising federal taxes to two times today's level.”
To close the revenue gap through growth, the United States economy would need to expand in the double-digit range for the next seventy-five years. During the boom years of the 1990s, the economy grew at an average rate of 3.2%. Walker concludes, succinctly: “we cannot simply grow our way out of this problem.”
Health care entitlements constitute by far the largest single piece of this economic disaster. Those who think that creating thousands of billions of dollars in new government entitlements—in a health care bill that adds tens of millions of Americans to government programs—will do anything except hasten the coming bankruptcy are out of touch with reality.
Mr. Walker has taken his show on the road, in an attempt to educate Americans about the financial disaster they are creating. He was accompanied by both the Brookings Institute on the left, and the Heritage Foundation on the right. He stresses that this coming financial meltdown is known by everyone in Washington--but no one wants to acknowledge it.
The Rasmussen poll shows that almost twice as many Americans think that cutting the deficit, rather than health care reform, should be the president’s top priority. Another poll shows that twice as many people think that the reform legislation will drive up costs than think it will lower costs. Perhaps these Americans grasp Mr. Walker’s point better than their elected representatives do.
A nation that violates the rights of its citizens cannot, in the long run, escape the consequences of its moral failure. When a nation with the unique strength of the United States does so systematically and over decades, the results must necessarily be catastrophic. The dire economic forecast of David Walker illustrates the connection between the moral and the practical. To regain our economic viability we must regain our moral viability. (5)

Is Socialized Healthcare Constitutional?
The tenth amendment to the constitution requires that those powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are left to the states and the people.
Who were these “enumerators?” Most were citizens of very high standing.
They included, among others: Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson (a convention delegate and chief proponent in Pennsylvania), Edmund Pendleton (chancellor of Virginia and chairman of his state’s ratifying convention), James Iredell (North Carolina judge, pro-Constitution floor leader at his state’s ratifying convention and later U.S. Supreme Court Justice), John Marshall (a ratifier and later U.S. Chief Justice); Maryland Congressman Alexander Contee Hanson, Nathaniel Peaslee Sargeant (a Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court), Alexander White (Virginia lawyer, ratifier, and later U.S. Senator), prominent businessman Tench Coxe, and – of course – James Madison.
Here are some of the powers they solemnly promised would be outside the federal sphere:
• governance of religion
• training the militia and appointing militia officers
• control over local government
• most crimes
• state justice systems
• family affairs
• real property titles and conveyances
• wills and inheritance
• the promotion of useful arts in ways other than granting patents and copyrights
• control of personal property outside of commerce
• governance of the law of torts and contracts, except in suits between citizens of different states
• education
• services for the poor and unfortunate
• licensing of taverns
• roads other than post roads
• ferries and bridges
• Regulation of fisheries, farms, and other business enterprises. (6)
Articles one, two and three of our constitution list the authority granted to the federal bureaucracy. As often as I’ve read the constitution I have never noticed the power to apply a Federal solution to healthcare because the authority does not exist. The Federal government should abide within its enumerated powers…to settle disputes in the arena of interstate commerce, to negotiate international treaties, to provide for a common defense and to conduct a census. Socialized federal healthcare is not only un-workable and too costly, it is also unconstitutional.

Ted Kennedy; a premature compassionate Eulogy

2009-08-20T19:00:00.000-07:00

Since, “in polite circles” it is a societal faux pas to speak ill of the dead, I’ll have to hurry this literary smack-down of Teddy Kennedy and if what we are hearing from Kennedy spokespeople is true; I’d better make this jiffy quick.

Sadly; Teddy has lived much longer than those who chose to passenger with him. And; Ted’s imminent demise is already having an effect on the local economy in Massachusetts. Call- girls are filing for un-employment and Scotch distillers are shuttering their businesses. Not to mention that tow-truck drivers are suddenly out of work.
Teddy, “the swimmer” and his incremental movements towards the light, “much too slow” permits us, with fervor, to examine the life and times of this silver spooned spoiled brat who set out to destroy his own country, while drunk.

The latest attack by Ed against sound government is his plea to the state assembly to change the law in re; the appointment of U.S. senators to vacant senate seats. In 2003 uncle Ted petitioned the assembly to change the process by which vacant senate seats were filled. At the time, the law allowed for the sitting governor to appoint a replacement for any senate vacancy at their discretion. A widely held thought then was that Munster look-alike John, “I served in Vietnam” Kerry would trounce sitting president, George Bush. Governor of the bluest of blue states was then republican Mitt Romney. As a blatant jury rigging rouse Kennedy pushed for the law change allowing a five month election run-off for a spanking new senator so that Romney couldn’t appoint a republican to Kerry’s vacant seat after he ascended to 1600 Pennsylvanian Avenue.

The fly in the ointment, the monkey in the wrench was that Kerry couldn’t win a game of horseshoes if he was actually sitting on the horse.

Fast forward to present day; while Ted has given up Scotch for baby food and hookers for long naps in onesies, he still finds a coherent moment to again fiddle in Massachusetts political do-si-do.
Now the moral imperative is to again change the law back to a governor appointee to any vacant senate seat and scrap the five month election of candidates. Keep in mind that upon Ted assuming room temperature the magic senate number of sixty becomes fifty nine and would stay so for five months. The words, “arrogant dying, murdering bastard” come to mind.

Teddy the, “cheater” enrolled in Harvard University in 1950, but was kicked out in 1951 after he was caught paying another student to take a Spanish test for him. Little Ted eventually, “earned” a degree from Harvard and the dean of students, “earned” a summer home in Kennebunkport, kismet.

In 1962 young Teddy was the legacy candidate to the United States senate thanks to his brother vacating it and his father doling out bootleg whiskey money for it.

In 1963, his brother Jack was assassinated in Dallas, Jack was the Kennedy with a semblance of character. {Emphasis semblance}
In 1968, his brother Robert was assassinated in Los Angeles, no character assumed or implied.

Then the whopper, July, 1969, “drunken motorist” Teddy drove his car off a bridge, returning from a local party on Martha's Vineyard. He swam to shore, adjusted his tie, burped twice, went to a local hotel, hobnobbed briefly with the clerk, and tucked in for the night, basking in the safety of his warm bed and clear conscience. In the morning, a fisherman spotted the car and reported it to the police. Inside the car was the body of 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne. The coroner determined that she had survived the crash and had remained conscious for several hours in an air pocket in the submerged car before dying. Begging the question; who said chivalry is dead? Eventually, Teddy, “the frogman” suffered the crushing weight of our judiciary, his license to drive was suspended.

Teddy, “the victim” ostensibly, to rid himself of the haunting memories of murdering a young woman, turned to women for comfort and nurturing. When a supermarket tabloid published pictures of a married Kennedy getting "amorous" with a woman on his sailboat, one of his colleagues (Senator Howell Heflin) remarked that it appeared that Kennedy "had done changed his position on offshore drilling." In 1985, he and Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd allegedly made a "waitress sandwich" at a DC restaurant while their dates were in the rest room. Think layers and physics without condiments.

And then there’s this, only because you haven’t heard of it, if you have just play along, it’s fun. At the height of the cold war, Teddy, “the Bolshevik” began an all out effort to work with the Soviet KGB in order to defeat Ronald Reagan. He stole and destroyed classified records from the national archives, leaked top-secret documents to the media, and pursued a plan of capitulation against an enemy we were clearly beating the pants off of daily and twice on Sundays. This from the elder statesman of the Democrat party, again, while drunk.

Time or energy, “mine” would be of waste delving further into this pathetic life, it can be summed up quite efficiently by the following; Quixote Ted has held hostage the vaunted and illustrious senate on many issues but none more than wind turbine energy. He’s just daffy about it and would like nothing better that to plop a windmill in every yard and back alley. Yet, “windy” Ted had long since fought placing those twirling electrical juggernauts five miles off of Martha’s Vineyard, home to the Kennedy compound. That singularly sums up Ted; it’s all about him and always has been. America will little miss this worthless life when he finally passes and, if I’m right, “as I usually am” Ted and Mary Jo will never meet in the afterlife, having been assigned to different regions of eternity. And…I’d don’t wish to sound completely unfeeling as to the loss of this mans life and that effect on his family. So; I’ll just end with this…May you burn in hell you arrogant bastard and good riddance to you.

Healthcare for Dummies

2009-08-10T17:53:00.001-07:00

Perhaps it’s time for an adult debate about healthcare reform…and, by “adult” I mean this author, laying to waste any dissent from my brilliance, tact and reason. To wit; game, set and match…articles one and two of the United States Constitution enumerates certain powers to the federal government. The tenth amendment provides that those powers not given to the federal government in the constitution are left to the states and inevitably… the people.
Shows’ over folks…thanks for coming, I’ll be here all week…enjoy the roast beef.

Okay…as purely an intellectual exercise in futility let’s indulge the limp-wristed, bran eating, mocha drinking, Oprah watching, yahoos that think tech music is an art form and that Obama’s birth certificate is anything other than dust etchings in the Kenyan desert.
Now class…we will explore the lefts most promoted, preposterous and downright knee-slapping, giggling postulations…oft posited with a straight face, tweed jacket with leather elbow patches and either a pipe or monocle accoutrements. If it wasn’t for the power these poindexter’s wield, our economy would come to a screeching halt as those of us who actually contribute to the GDP would cease all activity, other than to spend our productive hours pointing, laughing and ridiculing these poor dumb bastards. No matter…far too often checkers sells more than chess.

Healthcare is a right! This pronouncement as an inalienable right makes as much sense as Jimmy Carter winning the Nobel Prize for peace when the Middle East exploded under his watch whilst he wrote mash letters to the Ayatollah. This dog just won’t hunt. First; we are endowed by our creator…meaning our rights come from God, not by any issuing authority or autocracy. Human rights are delineated as having no reciprocal responsibilities from your fellow man. Simply put; the exercising of rights cannot diminish another citizens rights. Your freedom of speech costs your neighbor nothing. The freedom to assemble doesn’t require your neighbor to pay for your transportation to the assembly area. We have the freedom to worship; though…no one is taxed to build our churches. Your rights end when they infringe upon mine. And…extrapolated…your stated right to healthcare impinges on my right; “choice” to not pay for it. Of course, I choose to let your sorry ass pull your own weight, to buck-up buckaroo and accept responsibility for yourself as I do for myself.
Yes; we are a compassionate people and will always pass the hat for those individuals whom are truly helpless and in need. We have always done so. Yet, we do so as a moral choice and should not be compelled to benevolence by Barry the Kenyan Keynesian.
Next up on the lefts top forty is that an overhaul of healthcare is an economic imperative necessary to thwart hyper-health costs, lowering everyone’s contribution. Let’s see…we are going to lower costs by increasing demand? America has a static supply of healthcare professionals. The Bamster proposes to transform demand into a gargantuan, “dynamic” denominator, thus…lowering price.
Economics 101, increasing demand to a static supply raises costs.
Lacking in Obama’s healthcare algorithms are any substantive reforms, “even though” see paragraph one defining federal powers.
Tort reform redefining malpractice remuneration to, “compensatory damages only” would be a good start. Roving wolf packs of trial lawyers see doctors as a Las Vegas piñata and they all get in line to take a whack. The, “too often frivolous” lawsuits are proportionally insignificant yet; the defensive practice of medicine adds as much as 15% to the costs of healthcare.

Still; the most definitive of culprits is the misrepresentation of costs to consumer. Healthcare recipients aren’t involved in pricing the exchange of goods and services. How can a hospital charge $2000.00 dollars a night for a bed when the Ramada Inn cannot? It’s simple; the costs of healthcare are not represented to the demand for it.
Health savings accounts would solve this problem. Put the consumer in charge of planning, managing and their demand for this supply. Let them be the arbiters’ of their expenditures and reap the rewards of financial prudence.
Leaving aside the democrat proposals would enact separate, “cash for clunkers” for seniors making it cash for geezers; deciding coverage after cutting seniors in half and counting their rings… so much for the compassion extolled by your new democrat party.

A major factor in the cost of healthcare is the government. If I own a construction company; employing 200 burly construction workers, and…my business model provides health insurance to my employees… I must buy policies which include annual breast examinations to screen for breast cancer. This is but one of the myriad of mandates required by state and federal chimpanzees posing as public servants. This is the dirty little secret; government is the 800lb. gorilla. They are the largest contributor to the cost of healthcare. Healthcare is 17% of our GDP and the government runs 47% of it through Medicare, Medicaid and medicate. They intend to remove profit from healthcare when profit, “as a motive” is proven to be the best incentive for production, competition, service and quality.

Though…these, “now published” postulations only respond to the straw-man arguments from the dead-heads in Washington and their lap dogs across the fruited plain. In responding one might accept, that I accept their premises. I do not and only reciprocate a response to these buffoons because it’s just so damn much fun. Highlighting the idiocy of idiots ought to be an Olympic event including a studio laugh track every time one of these zombied Obamalites proposes to tell us they care.

None of this disabuses my opening salvo. Our constitution gives not congressional authority for Obamacare. The power for national healthcare is not enumerated in the constitution and our tenth amendment is as follows; “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”. Nuff Said…

Premier Barry

2009-08-06T19:39:00.001-07:00

Premier Barry
Those of us with knowledge of the historical underpinnings and basic tenets fought for in the struggle for independence from King George, long ago, came to the aggregate conclusion that a new struggle for separation from an out of control, autocratic oligarchy, hell bent on transforming a representative republic into a central planning politburo.

The American experiment began when fifty-six patriots, “from diverse backgrounds” affixed their John Hancock’s to a de facto pink-slip edifying the king that royalty need not apply. Those founders held strong inclinations and fidelity to such novel ideas as freedom, self governance, liberty, religious expression, personal determination and public elections of representatives instead of a strict adherence of the biological lottery of Deoxyribonucleic acid. {DNA} They apperceived this concept so resolutely and indomitably that they pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in this endeavor.

Perhaps the best apperceive, “or evidence” of their resolute intent was the 25,000 stalwart souls who sacrificed the essence of life so that birth might be given to a nation. Those men along with their peers were responsible for authoring a constitution that we conservatives not only consider sacrosanct but divinely inspired were the earners of the bequeathing to we , the people of a nation upon which God shed his grace. With that inheritance obliged the recipients to covet those ideals and aspirations whose recompense was blood and personal sacrifice by the patriarchs of this nation.

Yet; we inherited more than an obligatory reverence to those founders. For; with that endowment, that blessing of being given the keys to the greatest nation on this planet also imbued a great responsibility.

This encumbrance I fear has been has been largely ignored and averted. The American demographic seemingly invests more time and energy into deciding who will be the next American idol than in accepting the responsibilities that conjoin with the rights we enjoy. Even though; the lack of due diligence by the electorate charged with protecting those God given rights has, “for the most part” abrogated their, “watchdog” moiety apportionment for a ringside seat as a spectator.

To wit; we gather every two to four years to consummate an election wherein those candidates who seemingly represent our ideals, views and core values would ascend to power; a power constitutionally given by the consent of the governed.

Though; nano-seconds after these orators of slight of hand swear an oath to protect and defend the constitution of these United States they most often fall prey to the bureaucracy they railed against when seeking our votes. They become enamored with the private jets, the P.A.C. money that is the life blood of Washington. They decorate their offices with ornate bobbles they see as eclectic and becoming of their status. They hire their staff using the formula of either the widest bathroom stance or that virginal smile which belies a willingness to meet any deadline or position.

They assume the character of self importance. They become full of themselves. They plan their day around camera face time on any network that might spell their name correctly and exalt any opinion they might proffer.

Most importantly; from the day they are sworn in; they are running for re-election. Humorously; to us commoners’, every time a congressman of any stripe peers into a mirror…he sees a president.

Though; enough of semantics…what we now abide isn’t much less than the dilemma pondered by our founders in assessing the dynamics of King George’s rule. Our politicians are above the law and beyond reproach. They consider themselves royalty, the chosen ones. For instance; were law and order the fare of the day, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Charlie Rangel…ET. Al… would be making little ones out of big ones while wearing striped shirts and repeating the phrase, “I got my mind right”.

And…for you lunatic leftists; I would postulate this…all of the political class has adulterated their responsibilities. They work for us! Yet; attempt to contact them with a differing point of view than theirs and you’ll talk to a Tony Soprano type that will make you an offer that you can’t refuse.

Maybe it’s just me but lifetime politicians, with their own private jets, staffs that measure into the hundreds, lobbyists paying for extravagant vacations, millions of dollars in campaign contributions from the very entities they regulate, salaries and health benefits that are genuinely gold plated, paid for by we the people, a lifetime retirement package after only one term of service, a continual passing of legislation that they are exempt from., Elliot Spitzer girls paid for by, “we, the taxpayer” unless you are Barney Frank, legislation that punishes success, mortgaging our children’s future by either printing money or borrowing it from China, Failing to balance a budget while creating laws that would imprison us for the same behavior. And…for generally exhibiting the political behavior that would cause Thomas Jefferson to demand satisfaction at the point of a gun for these two faced, spineless jackals’ who claim to work in the public interest. I put forth this; let’s hang em’ all. And…if we don’t, we then will receive what we deserve and will sully the inheritance left to us by men of more character than we have abiding within us in the collective. .

News From the WhiteHouse

2009-08-04T20:36:00.000-07:00

Today the Whitehouse announced that, “Bamster Motors” formerly, know as General Motors “General Motors” renamed the company, “Government motors” and will release the, “Barrry-car” early in 2010. This first signature car of the Obama administration will reportedly employ the green technology candidate Obama promised to the American people as he crisscrossed the country in pursuit of buying votes for the presidency.

Early information is that A.C.O.R.N. and the “service workers international” drove busses to homeless shelters and loaded up the dregs, winos and mental deficient’s…bribed them with bologna sandwiches’, Boone’s Farm and Newport cigarettes to cast their votes for the Messiah. Reportedly’ the most difficult aspect of this elector hoodwinking was finding the correct bridge and gutter to drop off the homeless after their ballot casting. In many cases the overstuffed vans transporting the homeless simply slowed down at the nearest underpass and lobbed them out at 35 MPH. Obama called this act tough-love and his effort to reduce carbon emissions by not coming to a complete stop. There was also an ancillary wager between top staffer on just how many times the homeless would bounce. Rahm Emmanuel won the pool when a bum he launched from the moving van bounced a full seven times, braking his collar bone and suffering a severe head injury.

Reportedly, the “Barrry-car” has a drive train fueled by three 2000 lb. nickel cadmium batteries capable of propelling the 10,000 lb. vehicle four city blocks without a recharge or one downhill trip to the Strip Club; Most innovative is the pop-up solar shield upon battery exhaustion adding another 25 feet to the total distance traveled.

“B-car” dealers across the country are already touting the luxurious amenities such as the dual cup holders, rear window, four tires, ashtray and Obama bumper-sticker, said bumper sticker incapable of bring removed from said car due to a top secret polymer guaranteed for the life of your car.

In other White House news; Obama has latched on to a controversial stimulus package directed exclusively at the working poor. In his years as a community agitator he became acutely aware of the plight of working girls on the streets of Chicago. With the Obama recession a Presidential panel, “after an in depth study concluded that prostitutes” revenue is down 49% and “places upon them a severe hardship”. After all; the administration has offered that stimulus recovery in the porn industry is a moral imperative and has vowed to not let these scantily clad hard working American girls whom the President has, concluded that the porn industry is simply to big to fail.
Hence; The Obama, “Porn industry recover act” is set to be implemented by bypassing all debate and pouring $billings of American taxpayers $dollars into pornography billboards, Public service announcements and most importantly financing for the oft maligned, “Johns” or customers if you will.
Obama’s plan is to tax the oldest profession and blackmail the Johns. The Presidential office of management estimates that possible revenues to the federal coffers could increase by as much as $300 Billion dollars. Minus the cost of Federal outlay of condoms, birth control pills amid the tried and true method of the prostitute jumping up and down after intercourse. Oh…and if all else faiths there will be the abortion option for irresponsible women, who personally rack up abortions just for the convenience of the living.
Not to mention, Since the Bamster has been sworn in we have lost millions of jobs, wages are falling, the remunerations to the treasury are now down 22%

Obama has added $1Triion dollars to the national debt in just six-Months. At this rate our deficit will top $4 $trillion dollars and he’s just getting warmed up.
If he is able through reconciliation, “ a parliamentary procedure never used” less budget battles; he can jam down cap-and-trade down our throats, along with Healthcare and card check. He will then set his sights on Talk-radio”. His biggest detractors and the only personality are opposing him.
This is a fight for the economic and social fabric that is America.
So get up off your ass. Join the 9-12 project, band with conservatives and show up at these town meetings and be head. It’ all up to us to get involved…After all; it is our country; let’s take it back!!!!

Dentures for Dogs

2009-07-28T20:10:00.001-07:00

This health care debate makes about as much sense as O.J. Simpson selling cutlery or Jessica Simpson touting the virtues of marriage before sex. Meanwhile, the Bamster is fretting over the health insurance of people he’s never met; much less gives a damn about while bad mouthing hard working cops and texting gang signs to his Harvard professor.

Look; this isn’t advanced calculus or even ought and ought is ought in Bodine’s math. Kenyan born weasel, “the Bamster” intends to add forty million gypsies, tramps and thieves to the rolls of the fully insured thus taxing an industry already overwhelmed.

Simple economics 101 would tell us that increasing demand for healthcare whilst the supply remains static must starkly increase the costs. There are a finite number of medical professionals, a static number; yet Mohammed Obama intends to assault the profession with dynamic extrapolations.

And…you just know, with the all-caring, compassionate, oafish Democrats the public option for healthcare insurance will provide coverage for everything from condom dispensation, “along with the appropriate color coding” surgical hangnail clipping for homeless winos, bikini waxes, pimple popping, personal self-esteem counseling, gold teeth for gangsters from the hood, Spanish lessons for pre-school tots, neck rubs, back scratches, sponge baths, diaper rash, addadicktomes’, chopadickoffofmes’, to breast augmentation and dentures for dogs.

Never mind that instituting this asinine apothecary behemoth would add $10 trillion dollars to our national debt over the next ten years for a cumulative total of a mere pittance $21 trillion dollars, “over drawn” from countries that actually hate us.

Keeping in mind the indemnity interest on $21 trillion dollars will require every man, woman and child to work ten full time jobs and remunerate 200% of their gross income to uncle Sam-Bamster and quite possibly forced to sell our blood to the Chinese by the tanker full…just to pay the friggin interest!

Just as disturbing as Idi Amin Obama trying to destroy his adopted country with Socialized healthcare is how he has set about doing so and the methods he has employed.

After all; this isn’t simply Chicago politics…Oh no…Obama is Tony Soprano on steroids. First Obama went after the doctors. He threatened the AMA with dwindling reimbursement rates and bought-off the cabal of doctors in the AMA hierarchy that he couldn’t scare. Good thing Treasury Secretary Timmy, “got-rocks” has an extra $700 billion burning a hole in his pocket for just such occasions. By the way; the American Medical Association signed on to Obama’s healthcare reform despite doctors across the fruited plain opposing the Presidents plan 9 to 1.

Though…under the Bamster’s plan, senior citizens would be Soylent Green, for some odd reason the AARP has signed on to OBAMACARE. Pay no attention to the Lamborghinis being ordered by top AARP staffers and the $5 billion dollars they have been promised in stimulus money. Just a coincidence I’m sure. Move along; nothing to see here.

Let’s move on to the mega-insurance companies that have grudgingly bent over and grabbed their ankles for OBAMACARE. One might wonder why medical insurance providers would willingly walk the plank for this Barry-come-lately. Fair question…Obama et al. has promised them a seat at the table… Little do they know they are on the menu.

The Bamster is making everyone involved an offer they can’t refuse…all the while indebting children yet to be born. How’s that hope and change working out for ya so far?

Porky Pig; on a Spit!!!

2009-07-21T18:51:00.001-07:00

A few weeks ago I trekked off to Kentucky for my granddaughters’, daughters’ and wife’s birthday. A good time was had by all, yet I left there with an insight; one every American should ponder. Upon arriving, “fairly late Saturday night” I and my son in law had to prepare for the bountiful feast planned for the next evening. So…naturally; my son-in-law Brandon drove the old tractor around to the Hog pen while I readied a slipknot on the end of a long rope. Brandon then boxed in, “Dinner” as I looped the knot over the swine’s back-foot and in road gear, “pork chop” Brandon and I were off to a large tree where a chain hoist had been readied,…various lights, sharp objects and quantities of adult beverages lay at the ready…along with the rifle that would dispatch Porky off to the promised mud-wallow.
Needless to say, “though I will anyway” by mid-afternoon the grill was crackling, the smell of pork was in the air and God smiled on our little party with his great bounty.
We were self-sufficient, self adorned and unselfishly centered. We ate, we drank, we smoked and we laughed. And…not one government entity added an element to our display. We were the rugged individuals born of our forefathers.
Yet…I wondered; how great of the American demographic could abide such a living…or would. Today, we live in a Dr. Phil, Oprah world. A CFL light bulb, no smoking, fat assed, lazy Susan society. In short; we’ve become fat, sassy and nannied to death by our government…for our own good. This lifestyle has become us as a detriment to our heritage, our birthright.
America was founded on rugged individualism, on a can-do, kick-ass, spirit embodied in those men that sacrificed their lives, their fortunes and their scared honor that we might be free in a country, divinely inspired.
Now we can’t get off our wrinkled asses, dust the Cheetos off of our hands and waddle to the magic picture box to change the channel from, “Queer Eye For the Straight Guy” back to Oprah in time to miss the commercial.
We have gotten so damn lazy that we cannot put down the Xbox controller long enough to administer justice to the autocrats that have usurped our constitution and soiled the memory of those that founded this historic country.
I mean dammit; really, even you lackluster liberals cannot be happy with the government we are oppressed by. After a nanosecond in the cesspool that is Washington every damn politician is infected. So…they come to expect the free haircuts, the free shoeshine’s, the expense account, the royal health insurance, the full retirement after only one term, the free trips, the free money, the jets, the free suits, the interns, and so on.
They object to abject public service, though they extol it as virtuous. And…they set to feathering their own nest whilst absconding with the trust of their constituents.
Moreover; they set about constructing laws for our own good. As if they know better.
The lives of Americans no longer embody rugged individualism. That is now prohibited, by OSHA, the EPA or some other such governmental edict. No small loss when you consider the freedoms we have surrendered.
A quick search informed me that my weekend, “hog” butchering violated several state and federal laws and regulations. But then; I don’t abide a government for my protection. After all, the people should never fear their government; the government should fear the people.

The Federal Reserve and Goldman Sachs

2009-07-15T18:17:00.001-07:00

To be honest; I had to be dragged, kicking and screaming into this latest postulation. After all, though I have the aptitude to construct any literary composition into unqualified brilliance; an intellectual honesty requires of me passionate fidelity to educated honesty.

To wit; on the back burner of my slothful and mostly incompetent staff, “excluding the hard work and diligence of Travis” has slowly simmered the relationship between the Federal Reserve and Goldman Sachs. Thankfully Glenn Beck and company jogged my memory with a half-hearted attempt at explaining this incestuous cabal and prompted the beating of said staffers into action.

Yet, make no mistake; there belies a panoply of career risks to the author. Because, as everyone knows, we evil conservatives are all protecting of malevolent mega-corporations. And…explaining economics to the 54% of thumb sucking, Oprah watching, wine cooler drinking, quiche baking, sushi eating, and tweed jacket twerps that voted for the Bamster. It’s akin to explaining the shrinkage of space as the speed of light is approached to monkey eating Mubuti pygmies.

Still; I try. Most oft misunderstood is the relationship between Goldman and the Fed. The general thought is that of a symbiotic, incestuous convergence of like minded money grabbers. Not so Skippy; Goldman Sachs is the Federal Reserve…and visa versa.

Let us begin at the most recent history. On September 15th 2008, in the span of three hours, someone(s) or some financial enmity entity began, “cashing out” $billions of dollars in the equity markets. {The market in which shares are issued and traded, either through exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Also known as the stock market, it is one of the most vital areas of a market economy because it gives companies access to capital and investors a slice of ownership in a company with the potential to realize gains based on its future performance} In just over three hours over $500 billion dollars was removed from the markets causing gentle Ben Bernake, “former Goldman executive” and chairman of the Federal Reserve along with the treasury secretary Hank Paulson, “former Goldman Sachs CEO” to rush into President Bush’s office, flushed and panting, hair on fire, well…scalp on fire and frantically inform the President that the American way of life would end by the close of that days business unless these two hair club for men rejects could infuse the capital markets with $trillions of dollars, jiffy quick. In an unrelated story; the presidential campaign, on that day, for some odd reason, changed. The most pressing of issues had been the war in Iraq…yet; now the economy and its certain demise became most topical and pressing. Advantage Democrat and one Kenya native…you guessed it, Barry the Bolshevik.

Most prevalent in the fiduciary school of thought is that a scheme this enormous had to have been orchestrated by a government. Most postulated was a Saudi cabal or a Russian conspiracy. Yet…overlooked was the influence of Goldman and its infinite access to capital via the Feds discount window. The simplest evidence is that most often overlooked. On that day, “September 15th, 2008” Goldman executed just over 46,000,000 trades. In a completely unrelated story a former Goldman Sachs employee was recently released on bond for stealing computer code that allowed for such massive trading. Bloomberg news reported that the prosecutor alleged that were this code to be used by any corporate interest, “other than Goldman” it could wreak havoc on the markets and open the possibility of mischief in the markets. Bloomberg reports, “The bank has raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate markets in unfair ways,” Facciponti said, “according to a recording of the hearing made public yesterday”. “The copy in Germany is still out there, and we at this time do not know who else has access to it.” Yet, though others, using this software could manipulate the markets…nah, Goldman wouldn’t think of such malevolence. Still, they did just post $3billion dollars in profit during the largest downturn in the American economy since the great depression… Just a coincidence, to be sure.

The Flushing of our Economy

Never mind that the pin-prick in the housing bubble came from Goldman, and the free money policies of the Fed exacerbated an oligarchy committed to, “moving on up” the Jefferson’s into homes they could never afford. The gist of the pseudo-governmental groin kick to Wall Street was the hands-off, no nonsense approach to capitalism that allowed Lehman Bros. to fail, Bear Stearns to go belly up and left AIG in the lurch. In an unrelated story, Lehman and Bear Stearns were the only competitors of Goldman Sachs and AIG was indebted to Goldman to the tune of $13 Billion dollars. So…naturally, Lehman and Bear were allowed to fail; AIG was secretly bailed out with the proviso that Goldman was to be paid their $13 billion before the ink was dry from the treasury debit card transaction, via the Fed.

Strange Bedfellows

Never mind that the new, “must have, right now” treasury secretary, little Timmy Geithner, former New York Federal Reserve chief and former Goldman Sachs executive jumped on the nearest soapbox in a declarative statement opined that AIG represented a systemic risk, and must be saved. He then proceeded to tank AIG as insolvent and pursued the paying of debtors, first and foremost, Goldman Sachs.

AIG, “American International Group” mostly an insurer of state risks, credit defaults and chicken thieves was extended $ 113 billion dollars to basically do what the treasury and the Federal Reserve could not. That is, infuse their holders of debt with genuine greenbacks. AIG was never too big to fail; it simply owed money to those who would make you an offer that you could never refuse.

The Metamorphosis

Goldman Sachs, as a company, a corporation; since its inception from a Jewish-German immigrant founder has been an investment bank… or more simply put; a speculator of equity markets… has come a long way. They have entwined themselves so indecently with the Fed as to question where one ends and the other begins. They have access to economic data, “via the fed” that allows them to trade in milliseconds and leave perplexed the Wall Street laggards that exalt them as the second coming.

In the United States House of Representatives over 200 elected leeches have signed on to a bill that would require the Federal Reserve to open their books and be the transparent governmental sponsored entity that B. Hussein Bamster’s teleprompter promised we would have. Yet; the Democrat leadership will not allow a floor vote. Democrats and Republicans a like have demanded that little Timmy Geithner account for $Two Trillion dollars that have yet been spent, but unaccounted for.

This is a scam; Goldman has taken over the Fed with the acquiescence’s of the Fed, as they feed at the feet of Goldman Sachs. Not to mention that all of the players, minus ex-CEO of Goldman Hank Paulson, are former or current Goldman Sachs employees, of course none of this is related; only a coincidence.

Liberalism Cannot Be Defended; I Dare You to Try !!!

2009-07-13T17:57:00.000-07:00

Just recently, on this forum, two questions were posited for answer and perusal of those participants whose chose to participate. They were prescient questions deserving of an intelligent, thoughtful response. The two questions in question were these; what is a liberal and what is a conservative? The poster asked for well thought out, specific descriptions of the opposite ends of the political spectrum. As expected, as usual, I not only stepped up to the plate, I knocked it out of the park. I put on a blinding brilliance of literary composition rarely seen in human endeavor. {See my response below}
However, not one little, Lilliputian, liberal lackey bucked up, took the stage and dared to proffer a positive portrayal of the affliction that is modern liberalism. And, I think I know why. It would be much akin to pointing out the benefits of cancer.
Liberalism has no basis in fact, reason or sanity. It is unrealistic, antithetic to the principals and values this country was founded upon and requires the willing suspension of disbelief, “sound familiar?”
Liberals claim to believe in our constitution and derided George W. Bush for violating it by, “torturing” detainees currently living the good life at the renowned vacation retreat in the tropical paradise lovingly referred to as Club Gitmo.
Yet liberals are nuanced in their devotion to the constitution that we conservatives consider sacrosanct. They ignore section two and enumerated powers; they are blind to the tenth amendment limiting federal authority to only those enumerated powers.
If they were honest with themselves, “not bloody likely” they would admit this one truism that is the wooden stake in the heart of Looney liberalism, it is the silver bullet, the Ark of the Covenant. Our founders were conservative. This is inarguable and unassailable. This country was founded on the principals of conservatism and our founding documents reflect that; without doubt. It’s all there, in the words of those brave men whom bore this country. Read them, learn them and then; “if you dare”, argue your liberal point of view and open yourself up to be rhetorically dragged behind my smoke belching SUV, flailing in you flawed ideology. So, let’s just light this firecracker. Liberalism is a false premise and cannot be defended, that’s why no one even tried. Liberalism is the most spineless, yellow-bellied ideology one can ascribe to. It requires no critical thinking or workable solutions. One needs only to appear compassionate.
And there is the crux of the malady known as liberalism. It’s all about feelings. These tweed jackets, pseudo-intellectuals glom on to every Oprah moment to come down the pike and then smugly look down their bifocals at the rest of the great unwashed as characters from Deliverance. Yet; not one damn thing these dust bunnies have ever put forth works. Take the war on poverty; for instance. Since 1964 we have transferred $12TRILLION dollars from the haves, to the have not’s. Yet poverty levels haven’t decreased. We’ve only succeeded in insuring every Joe-No-Lunchbox has a flat screen television in his hovel. Liberals demanded sex education in our public schools. So… what happened? Well; we now have a society where the only virgins are ugly sixth graders and teachers not only teach sex but also turn down the lights and put on Sinatra for their students. The good news is that even though little Suzy is squeezing out her twelfth rug rat those food stamps will keep on coming. Thanks to liberals. Still; we mustn’t examine the outcomes of liberal policies; oh no, we must only focus on their good intentions. Well; spank my ass and call me Judy. I’m done with letting you liberals set the premise and change the measure of success.
You liberal piles of steaming excrement deserve both barrels and I’ve got an itchy trigger finger. In other words; it’s time to barbeque some ass and I’ve got the spit.

1.The energy crisis is your fault. Environmentalists, tree hugging, “arbor perverts” and your PETA pal pundits have blocked, at every turn, our effort to drill in ANWAR, off of our coasts and anywhere we might conceivably increase supply. You have blocked the construction of fuel refineries. Your useful idiots in the, “Sierra Club” have shut down or halted more coal mines and coal power plants than can be counted using basic math. You and your ilk have sued in federal court to halt the construction of nuclear power plants and when you are successful, in doing so, you run to your homes to watch Jane Fonda’s overacting performance in, “The China Syndrome”. And you weep. Well, let me be succinct and blaring. Get over it. We have more oil in this country and off of our coasts than is present in the entire Middle East. We are the Saudi Arabia of coal. We have the greatest nuclear technology in the world. We have more natural gas in this country than all of the hot air you’ve been bellowing for forty years.

2.You are the racists, sexists, bigots and homophobes. It is you leftists who categorize people into groups and then attempt to make them victims. Conservatives don’t give a rat’s rear end about a person’s skin color, their sex or what they do in the privacy of their bedrooms. You left leaning, Leninist liars have taken three of our conservative dictums and completely perverted them. That being the diabolical divergence of affirmative action, our rigidity against gay marriage and our opposition to abortion. My over active grey matter can easily portray these vapid portrayals for the inept pronouncements they are. For those of you being literarily dazzled I have a question, a most prescient one; how much time have you spent lately thinking about my sex life? That’s how much I spent thinking about yours. If you want to be gay, be gay. Marriage however, is a time honored tradition and shouldn’t be adulterated. Affirmative action; we are all created equal. No one should be granted special rights, “or denied them” because of any distinguishing identifier. Abortion; Find a general right to privacy in our constitution and we can talk. The Supreme Court cannot, out of whole cloth, enumerate constitutional text. We’ll throw in that pesky moral dilemma for good measure.

3.It is you that has cheapened what our founders born. Were it so, that the founders of this country existed today, I’m just saying; There would be a lot of liberals, limply lying at the end of a short rope strung from a tall tree. The constitution you so readily hide behind when spouting your socialist rhetoric is the same constitution you treat as, “Charmin” three ply when you stumble across text you find disagreeable. You cite the separation of church and state, where one does not exist. You support limitations on our second amendment. The bastardization of our tenth amendment has your fingerprints all over it. You demand more and more from federal government instead of abiding personal responsibly and rugged individualism. Reflect, if you dare and ponder this; were our founders conservative or liberal? Genuine reflection should make you reach for pharmaceuticals in vast quantities. Prozac anyone?

4.For what you have done to our children there will be a special place in hell. Loony liberals have been running our educational system for 40 years. Juxtapose that statistic with our falling international scholastic test scores America and her children have long endured. The liberal educational system is but one of the few endeavors wherein we accept greater and greater financing without positive result. In Washington D.C. the taxpayers fund each student to the sum of $25,000.00 per student, per year. Yet, 50% still do not graduate. We are told, more money is needed, while, in truth, what is needed is to run these liberal, tweed jacket nerds into the ocean, at high tide. I have a deep faith Mr. Jefferson would approve.

5.You despise the poor. You must, look what you have done to them. The war on poverty began in 1964 by the real idiot from Texas. Trumpeted by leftists it has decimated inner cities and many small towns. You have taken from those you’ve sought to help all self sufficiency, independence, self reliance and dignity god gave them. You have made poverty just comfortable enough to abide in. Benjamin Franklin said that poverty should be uncomfortable and people should be run from it. You have made poverty cozy, ensuring it will be endured.

6.If it’s broken, you broke it. The listing of your liberal transgressions is endless. That statement is all encompassing and meant to be so. By nature, conservatives have a deep reverence for our constitution, for the sacrifice of our founders, for American exceptionalism, manifest destiny and hold unshakable beliefs that God so endowed this country. So, by default, if it’s broken, liberals broke it. Happy Trails.

Declaration of Independence

2009-07-07T19:24:00.000-07:00

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for “We the People”, citizens of this great nation the United States, to petition our elected officials, for redress of grievances, which include the persistent infringement by those officials upon our individual, God given, natural, unalienable rights, including “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” - codified by the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights - and where many among our civil servants, whom have taken the oath of office, “freely and without mental reservation” to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic” and to fairly represent the business of the people, but have instead violated that pledge, it is incumbent upon that aggrieved citizenry to declare their grievances and to withhold their consent to be thus unfairly represented and capriciously governed until such grievances have been heard and properly redressed.

1. Grievance; America was constitutionally constituted as a representative republic, not the Oligarchy we are spoon fed by the elitist, pompous idiots that have matriculated their way into power. We see the term in print and hear it on the air. But what exactly does the term “Citizen Politician” mean? To me it defines a person who is a citizen first and then a politician. It is someone with a family, a job and ties to a community who decides he would like to serve for a time in the political arena for the betterment of that community. To do so he takes a temporary leave from his position, knowing he will serve for a limited time and then return to his regular duties when his term is over. Yet; now we abide career politicians. Slackers who, “more often than not” have never held a job outside of government and much like young Oliver Twist stand before the American people asking for more. When in fact these barnacles upon liberty have more perks than Folgers. Today, Members of the United States Congress enjoy a vast web of perquisites that benefit them personally as well as professionally, including:
•Comfortable salaries that, “are often” determined through legislative sleight-of-hand. Contrary to the arguments of many Washington "insiders," the cost of living has rarely eroded the historical value of lawmakers' pay, which on a constant-dollar basis is hovering near the postwar high.
•Pension benefits that are two to three times more generous than those offered in the private sector for similarly-salaried executives. Taxpayers directly cover at least 80 percent of this costly plan. Congressional pensions are also inflation-protected, a feature that fewer than 1 in 10 private plans offer.
•Health and life insurance, approximately 3/4 and 1/3 of whose costs, respectively, are subsidized by taxpayers.
•Wheeled perks, including limousines for senior Members, prized parking spaces on Capitol Hill, and choice spots at Washington's two major airports.
•Travel to far-flung destinations as well as to home states and districts. Despite recent attempts to toughen gift and travel rules, "junkets" are still readily available prerogatives for many Members.
•A wide range of smaller perks that have defied reform efforts, from cut-rate health clubs to fine furnishings.
But the very nature of public office itself demands a more comprehensive definition of a "perk" than that normally applied to corporate America. Members of Congress can also wield official powers that allow them to continue to enjoy the personal benefits outlined above, such as:
•The franking privilege, which gives lawmakers millions in tax dollars to create a favorable public image. Experts across the political spectrum have labeled the frank as an unfair electioneering tool. In past election cycles, Congressional incumbents have spent as much on franking alone as challengers have spent on their entire campaigns.
•An office staff that performs "constituent services" and doles out pork-barrel spending, providing more opportunities for "favors" that can be returned only at election time.
•Exemptions and immunities from tax, pension, and other laws that burden private citizens -- all crafted by lawmakers themselves. "[T]he arrogance of officialdom should be tempered
and controlled."
Cicero, 63 B.C.
2.Grievance; our founders envisioned a republic wherein individual freedoms were paramount and federal influence in the lives of the citizenry was very limited. And; by limited they meant practically non-existent. Yet; we are encumbered by an oppressive bureaucracy that nannies we the people, for our own good. Ronald Reagan said; “I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves”. Still; from the right and left we are so oft tied to a plethora of governmental regulations much like Gulliver’s entanglements… compliments of the Lilliputians. We are told where we can smoke, what foods we can eat, how much carbon we can dispense, how much of our earned income we can recompense for our families, the storage capacity of our toilets, OSHA, the EPA, the NIE, the NIH, limits on agricultural production and a myriad of federal regulations that, “by design” adulterate our constitution and the freedoms guaranteed within its text.
Grievance; "To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men and not more so. They have with others the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps. Their maxim is boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem [good justice is broad jurisdiction], and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves." --Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820. ME 15:277. In a representative republic we have allowed five Elmer Fudds in black robes to subjugate the will of the people. Think about it; five, unelected, unrepresentative, appointed legal beagles have within their purview the fate of 330 million people. And… encapsulated within the realm of a semi-democracy, or so they say.
3.Grievance; this conundrum is A-political. The American electorate has too often been bifurcated by the two propionate political parties. They have stirred the pot of political discourse and advanced the uncivil war between demographic right and left. Whilst they anchor the hatred between liberal V. conservative, with slight of hand populace America fails to see what is up their corrupt sleeve. And; were their actions truly rated, by a discerning eye, America as a whole would vomit at the corruption on both sides. This is not a government of the people. Congress looks out across the fruited plain and see’s sheep to be sheared.
4.Grievance; In Washington what we have here is a failure to communicate. Elected aristocracy see not themselves as servants of the people; instead they have assumed royalty and expect their crown. Whilst America pays the piper for these moguls of hedonism.
5.Our constitution requires congress to abide a petition of grievance. So…here it is. Take heed you fat and sassy Oligarchs. Be on notice. For we are coming. From the right and left we begin this march. And…the constitution is our bulwark, our just cause. Today we declare our independence.

Happy Birthday America; It is our Last

2009-07-02T18:40:00.001-07:00

I can’t help feeling that we are quite simply reaping what we have sown. For we have taken the gift that is America, “paid for in blood by patriots” and adulterated it beyond all recognition. We have inherited the dreams and aspirations of those founders only to squander them as irrelevant or antiquated.
Apparently we have a majority of citizens ready to willingly embrace socialism when it was capitalism combined with the entrepreneurial spirit of ordinary people most responsible for American exceptionalism. In just over two hundred years we, as a country, have bested the rest of the world in every form of human endeavor. We have the highest standard of living known to man. For all of the hyperbolic hyperbole about poverty across these fruited plains even the supposed impoverished are fat and happy mired in their muck. We have six billion people weighing down this orb and more than half of them do so without such luxuries as electricity and running water. And yet we complain and demand change.
What has spoiled this country is the separation from those founders, from their ideals combined with our tepid faith in our constitution and God. John Adam’s said, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion”. “Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other”.

Until 1948 the bible and God was an integral component in the rearing and education of America’s youth. 1949 stands out as the first year of a decline in scholastic achievement.
Speak to anyone of public school matriculation and, on balance, the most favored response to religion in the classroom is the oft repeated separation of church and state. Yet, no such language exists in our founding documents and those who bore this country couldn’t imagine a populace so ill informed as to the bible and the word of God.
Still, highlighted in this misconception is the apt labeling of an ill informed electorate as to the content and context of our founding documents; the cornerstone of this representative republic.

It is saddening to realize that those men, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, et al, pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to foster a country now inhabited by spoiled children willing to follow the latest pied piper into an ideology that has miserably failed every time it’s been tried.
The tenets of socialism are directly proportional to our national debt, our porous borders, our entitlement mentality, the current financial crisis, our bloated bureaucracy, abortion, gay marriage and the rapid moral and social decay infecting the body whole that is America. Now, it seems, the great unwashed residing in this divinely inspired republic is desirous to not only dip their respective feet in the communal socialist pool but jump head first off the high dive and become totally immersed. This only confirms a suspicion I’ve held for some time; Mr. Adam’s was right. Without religion and morality our constitution survives not. However, in another sense, perverted as it is, it is only common sense. After all, checkers sells more than chess. And I can’t recall the last time I gazed upon the New York Times best seller list and recognized the King James edition of our Holy Bible gracing that population.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury, “Think Barry’s BBQ ribs in every pot and home ownership for deadbeats”. “The resulting democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy and is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two-hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependence back again into bondage.”

—Alexander Fraser Tyler, 1700 Quotation found in SYNERGY Server [Note: The Professor wrote about the fall of the Athenian republic over a thousand years ago this when America was a British colony.]

Authors Note ** We are not abiding a Democracy; Our government is a representative republic gone mad.

I continue this most prescient posit quoting Professor Tyler primarily for his profound ability to stand askance as to the execution of government when the enumerated powers loaned to the federal government are ignored and or adulterated. Thomas Paine, “the Rush Limbaugh of his time” said, “Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one”. This is the state of governance we are compelled to tolerate and endure.

“[T]he government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.” — James Madison, {general author of our constitution}

“A wise and frugal government … shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.” — Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801

These quotes from our founders; “whom I believe were rooted in divine inspiration” have been totally filed under, “I” for irrelevant and looked upon by our present day congress and the executive branch as merely a super sized roll of Charmin® three ply in the same men’s room formerly occupied by the toe tapping, wide stance Senator from Idaho; A.K.A Larry, “men seeking men” Craigslist aficionado.

James Madison said, “and I paraphrase” that the text of our constitution specifically states that no where in that document was there a codicil or even the inference that our federal government has purview over the distribution of charity; Or taking income from those engaged in productivity and transferring it to baby machines and winos whose preference is to suckle at the teat of earners.

After all; it was James Madison who actually wrote the constitution with the help of Thomas Paine; thus answering once and for all the intent of this sacred parchment.

“To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” — Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816

Abraham Lincoln, “the object of Barry’s man crush” also had thoughts about spreading the wealth, though his thoughts were diametrically opposed to the temporary lease holder of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties”.-President Abraham Lincoln.

As the ratings for the Obama sitcom dwarf those of American Idol; thanks in large part to the Presidents decisions to close club Gitmo and relocate its clients to a halfway house in Crawford Texas, while rescinding the water sports portion of their daily entertainment and limiting the questioning of these misunderstood, peaceful reformers, “ who accidentally go BOOM” on occasion to, “ how can we make you more comfortable” or “ would you like President Obama to sign your Koran” ? We the people are treated to an administration most reminiscent of a three stooges re-run…Nyuk, Nyuk!

Meanwhile; back at the White House, “where the black guy lives”, Obama spends most of his time rating female interns from 1-10 yet, has found time to jimmy the government cash register and pilfer $1 gazillion greenbacks to finance Ass Chaps on Rabid Nuts, or “ACORN”. Abortions for European cheerleaders, their mothers, unwed sheep and that mother in California that just gave birth to eight children; now possessing a football team, complete with backups.

And; as Obama plays Santa Clause for every mega-liberal wet dream, he intends to pay for this shopping spree by placing his picture on the dollar bill and stenciling in twelve zeros next to the $1. That and combining his fight against obesity by taxing Americans by the pound, sending jackbooted IRS thugs out to literally make change by hoisting citizens by their ankles and shaking them; dislodging the change from their pockets, appointing Bernie Made-off as confiscator of wealth from the wealthy, changing the mission of the peace corps to picking up aluminum cans, unionizing the homeless, taxing sex by the inch, “Democrats would be allowed to estimate” taxing children’s allowances and playing the lottery. I’m reminded of the words of very wise men and their thoughts on taxes.

“I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”
—Winston Churchill

“I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity. [To approve such spending] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”
—President Franklin Pierce (1854)

“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built”.- Abraham Lincoln

So why the historical perspective, why the history of those great men who not only conceived this document, “our constitution” a document we conservatives consider to be divinely inspired and sacrosanct; A document that these great men pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, under the penalty of death? Why? Because my friends it is being dismantled, one section at a time, under our very noses.

Sadly; we have become a politically correct, Oprah watching, spoiled, fat, sassy, entitled, lazy, sappy, microwaveable, remote control, blasphemous, fast food, Hollywood worshiping, selfish, non-voting, politically illiterate, government dependent, credit card, sub-prime, ignorant sheep. Quick; what is enumerated in our tenth amendment? What are the names of all nine Supreme Court justices?

These questions were put to a cross section of college seniors with predictable results. Less than 10% could name even five justices, less than 1% could paraphrase our tenth amendment. None of the participants could give even a basic explanation of economics.

Perhaps it’s just my conspiracy, black helicopter, and grassy knoll, nature that believes this is but coincidental and arbitrary. Though, After all; were our founding documents ingrained into our young skulls full of mush, along with a basic understanding of economic principals; the democrat party would be extinct and exhibits of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, ET. Al., would be featured in the Smithsonian next to the Neanderthals.

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power”. - Thomas Jefferson

The Rhetorical dagger I most often use when skewering you Lilliputian, liberal, bootlicking lackey loons from the left as I Lionize conservatives and belittle the salmonella tainted, peanut size frontal lobes possessed by you water head, short buss, Forrest Gump’s, Is simply common sense combined with my inherent, unequaled, unqualified brilliance.

Even with your diminished liberal mental faculties; I have but one question for you Special ED, Special Olympics Flunkies. And; it is this. Even taken for granted that the majority of you lack of the gray matter to form a coherent thought, tie your shoes or chew gum at the same time you must accept the gold standard of substantive recumbentibus pertinent thelemic freedoms that we are indeed endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights that do not come from government; but no, our rights are God Given and simply loaned to government as a temporary note. And that note is rapidly becoming due.

Meaning; what government hasn’t the authority so enumerated to that body in the text of the constitution, they have not the authority to exercise. There is no federal, constitutional, powers which would allow government to empower the treasury secretary to allocate funds, to collect earnings from one taxpayer and deliver them to a slackers, to regulate states exploration of energy, to bailout anyone or anything, to fund abortion, to set, “CAFÉ” standards, to fund education, to apply federal taxes to any goods or services, to regulate anything that does not involve a commercial dispute between the states, or the thousands of duties our federal government has taken upon itself.

Our constitution is clear and unambiguous. The federal government is charged with three and only three duties and is limited by the tenth amendment from straying into other legislative arenas. Those authorities are; to provide for a common defense, to negotiate international treaties and to settle disputes between the several states, only in the context of interstate commerce. All other governing responsibilities reside with the states.

These weren’t simply suggestions postulated by those great men whom born this country by sacrificing blood and treasure. No; our founders actually put quill to parchment and specifically enumerated those edicts as governing principals to be adhered to. And; lest there be any doubt they also affixed their John Hancock’s to that document and swore an oath to protect and defend the principals within the text. By the way; this is the same oath taken by our President and congressional representatives.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s time for those elected, spoiled, greedy corrupt bastards and bitches who have made a career out of screwing the people they are supposed to be working for, just maybe they should dust off the constitution and give it a look see. For those career politicians with the courage to do so I would expect a speedy resignation. For the document they swore to protect and defend, they have adulterated and defiled.

Recently I was asked, “Who wrote the U.S. constitution?” My reply was, “Governor Morris of Pennsylvania was put in charge of the committee to draft the final copy of the Constitution. Other men who had much to do with writing the Constitution included John Dickinson, Edmund Randolph, Roger Sherman, James Wilson, and George Wythe.” Why they don’t matter? These men, “though competent” were scribes, merely 18th century Dictaphones. The more apt question, in my mind is, “who authored our constitution?”

How many high school graduates could answer that question? How many of you can? If you don’t know, you will soon, I’ll tell you. Before I do there are other, equally important things you should know.
Thomas Jefferson is widely credited with authoring the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson was asked to write the declaration article in early June, 1776 and finished it in less than three weeks. Jefferson, along with 54 compatriots on a very hot day in July affixed their signatures to the document. It is widely known that Jefferson had an account at the tavern across the street from the Graff House, “Declaration Hall” an account that grew to some size even with Jefferson’s means. As Jefferson was a man endowed with a great moral character this tidbit in insightful. Jefferson knew that by authoring this document he was daring the British to hang him. Had they caught him they surely would have.
Thomas Jefferson finished his document and it was signed by the delegates on July 3, 1776. Don’t send me mail you history buffs. The signing was on the 3rd, it was printed on the 4th.
Jefferson and the signers declared that we should be a sovereign country. George Washington made it happen.

Born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman. He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him.
When the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia in May 1775, Washington, one of the Virginia delegates, was elected Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. On July 3, 1775, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, he took command of his ill-trained troops and embarked upon a war that was to last six grueling years.

Washington had not the best temperament as a commander. He routinely ordered the whipping of troops in his command for insubordination and other infractions of military decorum. He was a hard man. What isn’t widely known is that Washington personally financed, to the extent possible much of the expenses incurred by the continental army. Washington suffered many a demoralizing defeat at the hands of the British and caused Thomas Paine, “the Rush Limbaugh of his time” to write, "These are the times that try men's souls." The deciding battle came as Washington crossed the Delaware to surprise the Hessians. It was a bold act and energized the continental army and our country. The rest is history.
George Washington secured our sovereignty yet not our freedom. Our constitution did so, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The Virginian version of our constitution was authored by James Madison whom later became our fourth president and commander in chief during the war of 1812. Madison worked most directly with Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine and John Adams in the construction of our constitution as we know it.
Our constitution was created with the declaration in mind, that we are endowed by our creator. In literary form it is practically without fault, an inspired document.
All of this historical documentation leads me to ask a question, a pertinent one. Were it possible to know, what would the framers and those that fought for this countries sovereignty and freedoms think if they could witness the functioning state of the country they born?

Our framers envisioned a country whereupon rugged individualism and personal freedoms made us distinctly dissimilar and exceptional. In the Federalists paper # 39 James Madison describes the difference between Federalism and nationalism. He noted, “That it will be a federal and not a national act, as these terms are understood by the objectors; the act of the people, as forming so many independent States, not as forming one aggregate nation, is obvious from this single consideration, that it is to result neither from the decision of a MAJORITY of the people of the Union, nor from that of a MAJORITY of the States. It must result from the UNANIMOUS assent of the several States that are parties to it, differing no otherwise from their ordinary assent than in its being expressed, not by the legislative authority, but by that of the people themselves. Were the people regarded in this transaction as forming one nation, the will of the majority of the whole people of the United States would bind the minority, in the same manner as the majority in each State must bind the minority; and the will of the majority must be determined either by a comparison of the individual votes, or by considering the will of the majority of the States as evidence of the will of a majority of the people of the United States. Neither of these rules has been adopted. Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution.
”

What Madison so eloquently put forth is that we can all rally around a national flag yet; the power of our government must remain with the states.
My favorite amendment is the tenth. Wherein; “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.” Sadly, the tenth amendment has been adulterated by the commerce clause with attribution to the Supreme Court.
I’ll admit conscribing a return address that reads, “Illinois” is a hard sell wherein I conjoin with the 10th. Yet imagine this; our federal government is restricted to abiding by the constitution and the real legislative power belongs to the states as written by our framers. The results are states that actually have to compete for residents. If the tax burden in state X is too high you could move to state Y. If the job opportunities are greater in state X then state Y is in deep doo doo. As is, in a national form of government, “never intended by our founders” there is no escape.
I ask you again; what would our framers say?
George Washington served two terms and the country wanted to make him King. Though Mount Vernon lay in ruins Washington never drew a salary as president saying, “It is unseemly.” He retired from political life and died just three years later from throat cancer.

James Madison also died shortly after leaving office. “In a note opened after his death in 1836, he stated, "The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my convictions is that the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated."
What would they think? Really, ask yourself. Is the form and substance of government we are today compelled to abide with the imaginings of those great men upon whose dreams for greatness we were founded? Ask yourself, and then ask those who have adulterated and obliterated the documents upon which we were founded. God Bless the framers…. Our elected officials we must currently abide should be ashamed and should ask themselves what I asked. What would the framers think?

It's Time to Drop the Purse and Buck Up

2009-06-22T18:16:00.001-07:00

Winston Churchill said, “An appeaser is someone who feeds the alligator…hoping he will be eaten last”. Crocodile Obama, appeaser in chief and useful idiot to tyrants, seems perfectly willing to offer up our fiftieth state as a bull’s eye for pot bellied dictators while simultaneously curtseying to the Iranian mullahs and muttering, “thank-you sir; may I have another?” Perhaps if Obama had been born in Hawaii, “as he claims” instead of on a goatskin rug, deep in the heart of Kenya…he might have some attachment to the Aloha state.
Though…being a proud, “if secret” Kenyan does explain his affinity for Arab mullahs wearing bed sheets on their backs and cumber buns on their heads.

I don’t know about you but I’m getting tired of having Middle Eastern sand kicked in Americas face and letting little bug-eyed Korean comb-over’s rattle our cage whenever they run out of porn. When…what we should be doing is expending some of that over-priced military hardware that we paid for.

Take Kim Jong IL, just for instance, all of this hyperventilation as to whether we should, “or shouldn’t” shoot down the missile if it nears Hawaii is flummery. It is balderdistic blather. What we should do, “as the last remaining superpower” is to blow that damn missile up, on the launch-pad, dispatch a few hundred thousand of Kim’s million man army to meet their maker and tell their beloved leader to get his wrinkled ass out of Dodge or we’re apt to take him seriously.

Really folks; we’re the biggest, baddest ass on this planet and we’re letting Godless countries best known for, “cockroach exportation” jerk our chain?
And…while the Bamster chain smokes in the oval office trying to decide if his, “real” father is Idi Amin or Omar Abdel-Rahman, Iranian student are dying in Tehran by the bushel.
They are not dying for a political candidate or a party…they are dying for an Iran abiding in democracy. Not well known, or reported is that many of the dissidents are Christian. They have fled the cult of Islam. And our government has fled from them.
Ask yourself a question and then ponder the ramifications. The protestors in the street are carrying signs in English, not Arabic. Why?
You know damn well why and the answer the student patriots have been given from Washington is an Obamanation. It’s disgusting to the nth degree.
Yet they still march in the streets, Hawaii is the target of a little sawed off runt with a Napoleon complex.
Sometimes you just have to drop the purse and buck-up. Much like George Washington did when he crossed the freezing Delaware, force marched his ragged troops over frozen ground to attack the Hessian soldiers of fortune and change history forever.
America must always stand for freedom. We must always stand with those who might aspire to it. And… we must firmly and forcefully stand against tyranny, wherever it is found, because…Freedom is a blessing from God, to be enjoyed by all men.

PETA to OBAMA: Flies are People Too !!!

2009-06-16T19:05:00.000-07:00

In case you missed the Bamster’s interview on CNBC you’ll be happy to learn that America is in good hands and as safe as a babe in his mother’s arms. Because; as CNBC took great pains to point out, Barry can be ruthless if need be.

Never mind that CNBC is a derivative of NBC which is wholly owned by General Electric; which just happened to get $BILLIONS from the T.A.R.P. slush fund, even though G.E. isn’t a bank and by the way, stands to make $Gazillions as the largest manufacturer of wind turbines to combat global warming in the midst of the coolest year ever recorded…I’m certain that CNBC is all about hard hitting, biting news.

To wit; the bursting through the door, microphone in your face, gotcha coverage by the CNBC anchors and talking heads as they spent twenty painstaking minutes in a euphoric transcendent state in awe at the fly killing prowess of St. Hussein…seriously.

As it turns out; there was a gigantic fly hovering about the anointed one as John Harwood’s audience with royalty began. Risking life and limb, ignoring his own personal safety and without the aid of secret service Obama paused the interview, deftly dispatched said fly at great personal risk and never broke a sweat. The coverage by CNBC was no less than brilliant. They not only slow motioned Obama’s, “ninja like” fly swat…they went that extra mile and zoomed in for a close-up of the dead fly.

While looping this soon to be Emmy award winning celluloid masterpiece… no less than four political commentators gasped, swooned and in unison got the vapors as they, in sequence, opined at length as to the insect skills, “on public display” of our beloved leader. And…let’s not forget the continued close-up of said dead fly. Then; even before the audience had time to rub down the goose-bumps and get off the edge of their seats CNBC brought it home. As it turns out, “surprise, surprise” Obama, “fly killer” at large, grasped a napkin, using it to collect the object of CNBC’s reporting and disposed of it himself…just like he was a real person and not a deity.

Surprisingly though; bereft of CNBC’s in depth coverage, “along with the rest of the state media” was any authentic inquiry as to the nation of Iran and that pesky turmoil about their presidential election…Chicago style. Never mind that the civilized world, “en masse” has apprehensively awaited, “since 1979” exactly the discourse, we have all been watching in our magic picture boxes, played out on the streets of the republic formerly known as Persia.

Playing out on the streets of Iran is the beginning of a revolution. Iranians from all walks of life are turning against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and most importantly the mighty Mullahs. This is a Godsend or to use the geographic lingo, “a gift from Allah”. Though…sadly, we are encumbered by a president who seems to prefer radical Islamic dictators to the Iranian students being shot in the streets. With just a little effort, a modicum of support from Ayatollah Obama this revolt could, “possibly” metamorphose into an all out revolution that might well do no less than to revolutionize the entire Middle East.

Yet; the man-child elected by the 52% of Americans in dire need of a frontal lobotomy refuses to meddle… While; at the same time not simply meddling into the affairs of Israel but rather applying the doctrine to Israel that the Obama Sopranos levied against General Motors.

General Antonio López de Santa Anna Obama has increased the debt ceiling and proposed more in actual spending than all of his predecessors from Washington to Dubya. He has engineered the Mafioso like whacking of the automobile industry, the banks, and the mortgage industry. He has set his myopic sight on the takeover of health insurance, executive pay, energy repossession, confiscatory taxation, unionized, “card check” alcoholics and hookers…along with turning our constitution into Charmin® two-ply.

And…lest I fail to enumerate; North Korea is massing along the 38th parallel, China is so taken aback by Barry’s love affair with Americas checkbook that they are refusing to finance more of our debt. Russia, India and Brazil are threatening to leave the dollar as a reserve currency. Four Uighurs - ethnic Turk Muslims from China are working on their tan in sunny Bermuda and our state media is hailing this presidential dolt as the second coming since he can swat and dispatch a house fly.

Still; there is good news. Obama’s brother, from his hut sweet hut in Kenya is going to write a book. The working title is; “Brother can you spare a dime?”

The Religion of Cultists

2009-06-15T18:30:00.000-07:00

As many as nine foreign hostages, including Germans, a Britton, and a South Korean, have been found dead in the volatile region of Saada in northern Yemen. The victims worked for a Dutch international relief organization. The lives of these relief workers weren’t simply taken; as horrific as that is…early reporting from Yemeni officials indicate the victims were systematically and brutally tortured prior to their death and their bodies mutilated. This latest example of terror brought to you by, “you guessed it” the religion of peace. At least one child was butchered…just for kicks.

Sooner or later the non-Muslim world needs to wake up and smell the Quran. For… the longer we continue to pander to these animals the higher the body count will be when we finally face the stark reality that the cult we have too long abided has as its basic tenet wholesale slaughter and mayhem.

Islam is one of the largest scams ever perpetrated upon the world; preceding the global warming racket, liberal patriotism, mans evolution from chimps and John Edwards fidelity. And…when we should now be exporting nuclear weapons to the Middle East, one city at a time; we find ourselves in the unique position of having as our titular leader a dyed in the wool, Mecca facing, teleprompter Jihadist. Who… “by the way”, also seems to be birth certificate challenged along with a myriad of other sinister foibles.

Muhammad posed as an apostle of God. Yet his life is filled with lustfulness (12 marriages and sex with a child, slaves and concubines), rapes, warfare, conquests, and unmerciful butcheries. The infinitely good, just and all holy God simply cannot tolerate anything in the least unjust or sinful. What Muhammad produced in the Qur'an is simply a book of gibberish consisting of later evil verses abrogating (superseding) earlier peaceful verses.

Think about it…this is the, “prophet” that the cult of Islam is entirely based upon. And then…ponder this; how many murders did Jesus commit? How many rapes or pedophilic acts did he engage in?

In the trial of the blind Sheik, “Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman”, a fundamentalist Muslim cleric serving a life sentence for terrorism, federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy researched Islam and the teachings of Mohammed. He had set out to prove that the terrorist he would soon bring to justice were an abomination, a jihadist that had adulterated an institutional, peaceful religion. What he found was more than shocking. For every act of butchery, of torture and blood letting there were Quran Surah’s, “verses” to not only excuse murderous acts but to mandate them.

This isn’t religion. It is cultism imbibed with debauchery, butchery and perversion. It’s seventh century fanaticism.
And…most disturbing is the attitude taken by our own Bamster Hussein. Remember; post election his eminence saw fit to give his first interview to an Arab television network. He has given more speeches in the Middle East than interns bedded by Bopping Billy Clinton. And…this is only my speculation, but to see Michelle, “my Belle” fashion the hijab on the cover of Good Housekeeping isn’t as far fetched as one might think.

This cult is Jim Jones, “Kool-Aid aficionado” with AK-47’s and apparel that go’s boom. Yet; we have a foreign policy that treats them like misunderstood Presbyterians.

Ann Coulter was right. The solution is to invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. Or; we could wait for a nuclear bomb to detonate in New York, killing millions of people and join with the United Nations in drafting a stern letter of disapproval.

About 578 years before Islam came along; Christians were warned against Islam by both Jesus and the Apostle Paul. Jesus warned us about the many false prophets who would follow Him (Matthew 16:11-12). Paul warned us when he wrote:

“But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should preach a Gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be condemned to hell!” (Galatians 1:8).

Since Islam’s message differs fundamentally from the Gospel, it is clear what Paul taught regarding the fate of Muhammad and those who propagate Islam. Islam bypasses the sacrificial mediating work Jesus did for believers on the cross, thus negating the forgiveness of sins. This condemns non-believers to die in their sins. Jesus said; "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." John 8:24
Jesus also predicted the current dilemma of Muslim intolerance and fanaticism. He warned that the day was likewise coming when religious zealots will kill Christians and think they are offering a service to God (John 16:2-4).

Islam is nothing more, “or less” than a perverted, ideology inhabited by pedophiles, serial killers and sadists. Until we are ready to accept this we will continue to suffer the fate these Dutch relief workers fell upon…yet continuing on a much greater scale. We can either accept these truths or invest in body bags.

Clowns to the Left of Her; Jokers to the Right

2009-06-09T18:39:00.001-07:00

The best indicator for conservative electoral success is most evidenced by the frenzied fanaticism foisted upon Sarah Palin. And…the dirty little secret is the long knives are out for her from both sides of the aisle.

Still;… the wet behind the ears, just off the turnip truck, Jethro Bodine’s who populate our drive-thru windows, give us incorrect change at the Qwiki-Mart and spend the majority of their adult lives paying child support to their first cousin; or more often than not, their toothless sister… needn’t suffer an euphony epiphany considering the obsequious coverage by the state media about our girl Sarah. In other words… we expect the Obama bootlickers, “in lockstep” goosestep, to run in place, “with there hair on fire” at the mere mention of Alaska, Moose hunting or Governor Palin.

Sarah is the kryptonite to liberal lapdogs and if you could somehow find an honest liberal, “a contradiction in terms” they would tell you they harbor more fear of her than the Bamster has of his original birth certificate.

Yet; more disturbing are the lily livered weak kneed republican types. For… expected is mean spirited, below the belt petty attacks from statists leftist flunkies. It’s their playbook, par for the course if you will.

And…trust me; liberals never require a mulligan when heaping on the hate. After all; they, “ARE” the inclusive, open-minded, enlightened political party. Sure…and my ass is a wind instrument and a fart is a whole note.

Most representative of the republican establishments well founded fear of Palin was the debacle on June 8. A Republican congressional fundraiser in Washington featured, “half assed” conservative Newt Gingrich as the keynote speaker. While behind the scenes, what isn’t well known is that the committee originally chose Sarah as the main attraction. Not that she was their favorite item from the republican smorgasbord. No; but she is the biggest draw and Republicans knew it, “know it”.

But… as is now readily apparent, Newt and his ilk have greater political aspirations than they would lead us to believe. And; the Republican Party has no intention of allowing an Alaskan conservative hick to get more than her share of the spotlight.

This isn’t a revelation. Stalwart republicans hated Reagan. Though publically they were compelled to side with him because of his enormous popularity; privately they seethed. They looked upon Reagan as they now see Palin…too religious, pro-life, constitutionally grounded and much too popular with real people.

Sarah Palin is genuine, the real deal. She’s most well known for taking on disingenuousness in her own party. This scares the hell out of most of those inhabiting the demographic on the right side of the aisle. For those on the left she is feared for exactly the same reasons.

Sarah is a danger for the political fiefdom. She is the ultimate truth to power. For that L’enfant terrible there is an attempt to destroy her; still my moneys on the hockey mom. After all; Reagan did it…So can Sarah.

Economics 101

2009-06-02T19:12:00.001-07:00

While the state media swoons over the Obama and spends evenings painting their toenails, hovering by the phone, in the hope that Barry will invite them to the prom; the Bamster is whipping this economy like the family pig. If Obama was intentionally trying to destroy the American economy, “just for kicks” his economic policy positions postulated and paraded by little Timmy Geithner would look strikingly similar to the fiduciary fiasco foisted fanatically upon the fleeced fawning fools that we mistakenly federate into the voting populace. Come to think of it…
This isn’t checkers folks; it’s chess played on extrapolated levels. And Obama’s first moves have been to sacrifice us pawns. But, the purpose of this instructional video isn’t to simply trash Obama; though he is a target rich environment.
No sir; this is economics, right here in River city. It starts with an E that rhymes with B and that stands for Bamster. Sorry, author synaptic neurons firing indiscriminately. It happens…
Alright; let’s boat this bass. There are two schools of economic prognostication. That being, market economists, “those evil Wall Street Goodfellas” and policy wonk fiscal futless professors who wouldn’t be seen without their prized tweed jacket with a hint of leather on their elbows; and don’t forget the trademark pipe… just for effect.
Sadly; neither group understands the method or madness of the other. For those in my vast and ever growing audience that actually wear a helmet, ride the short bus and vote Obamalama it’s this simple, the markets don’t understand the economy and the economy cabal understand not the markets and their workings. This is why those of you basking in my brilliance need drop to your knees and thank God you have access to my intelligence and unique cerebellum. Can I haaaave an Amen? By the way; thanks for taking time out of your busy computer porn schedule to actually read something.
Let’s get to it and start with the markets. The state media is wetting themselves trying to convince us dolts that by simply having Obama rest his head on a pillow situated at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue the markets have snapped too and it’s sunshine and lollipops from here on out. They point to such indicators as rising oil prices, increased home sales, a rising Dow and oddly enough lowering unemployment conjoined with a jump in consumer confidence.
Though in reality, not perception, these nuggets of gold intermeshed in the muck and mire are a fools gold indeed. Actually; if you scored greater than 700 on your SAT’s and possess a double digit I.Q. these offers of media bias are more than insulting. The dollar is tanking, oil is traded for dollars…junk dollars require more of them for oil that is, black gold, Texas tea. Barry, Timmy Geithner and Lassie are printing dollars on everything from paper to Charmin three ply and destroying its worth. Obama is treating the dollar like a baby treats a diaper.
Of course home sales are increasing; at fire sale costs. The bulk of these purchases are at foreclosure auctions; the housing crisis brought to us by Barney Frank, Chris Dodd ET. Al. has now leeched into prime borrowers… One in eight prime mortgage holders is either hopelessly deficit in their home payments or in default.
The peaks and valleys of the Dow are simply the aestivations of a bear market. Markets are responding to news; ignoring the traditional barometer of earnings. And…this is important; investors aren’t buying this market. It’s the fast money players, the traders, the in and out guys. If you have any doubt look at the short term bond market compared to the ten year bond. Investors aren’t betting long on America.
The media touted a 17,000 aggregate improvement in first time jobless claims. So, instead of losing 617,000 jobs a month we are only shedding a measly 600,000. No matter that the government added twenty thousand new autocrats to our bloated government bureaucracy. The stark reality is that this country is hemorrhaging jobs at an alarming rate. Look past the lipstick, it’s still a pig.
The consumer confidence numbers are quite easily explained. The media trashed the economy for six years prior to the coronation of King Barry and helped push it over the jagged cliff. Now they tout it as the second coming and have influenced public opinion. All to get Barry to notice them and hope against hope…blow them a kiss.
Now bear near and draw close for fiscal GDP economics is different yet the same. What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate…with common sense and cents patriot demographics. What the Bamster, little Timmy and Gentle Ben Bernanke are doing reminds me of that movie, “It’s a mad, mad, mad World”. The Treasury is selling Americas debt by issuing T-Bills which is being bought by the Federal Reserve… printing money that has a lessening value with each pass of the presses. In technical terms this is called monetizing our debt. In common terms this is called confiscatory taxes on wealth that has yet to be created by people yet to be born. It is unsustainable.
We should also be mindful of an entitlement, “gimme…gimme” that will be insolvent and topping $57 TRILLION dollars jiffy quick; just as soon as the baby boomers un-yoke and hit the recliner. Well…along with the slackers riding in the wagon while us buck-ups, “can do’s” have been putting our noses to the grindstone and thus supporting these slothful, leeches who are most aptly described as the barnacles on our behind.
The portrait the media is painting is watercolor and it’s beginning to rain. I don’t mean to alarm anyone but you might want to keep your pets indoors. After all; you’re going to need them for food. I’m just saying…

One Room Temperature Doctor

2009-05-31T16:06:00.001-07:00

You can just see the drive-by media getting cranked up for this story. A high profile abortion doctor; whacked in a church as he was shaking down parishioners to keep the Reformation Lutheran Church afloat.
This story fits the template of the media. That is the wild and crazy fringe Christian right as bloodthirsty fundamentalist’s hell bent on exercising our second amendment rights on all you backsliders.
OBLIGATORY STATEMENT…No Christian would ever sanction a murder, we’re sorry for this mans family…yada, yada, yada…blah, blah, blah. Still let’s not martyr this doctor, “Dr. George Tiller”. After all; he was a dues paying member of a very exclusive club. You know; the club that has as a tenet of its membership grasping full term infants by their ankles, dragging them halfway through the birth canal and stabbing them in the head with a pair if surgical scissors… neat huh?
What will be overlooked is, that in any reality what the, “now room temperature” doctor engaged in was quite simply murder. There is no equivocating or minimizing what this animal did for a living. And; in death I give no quarter for this mass murderer.
Still, as a constitutional Christian; a conservative Christian, I can disparage, “to a degree” the actions of the gunman; for we don’t take the laws of this country into our own hands.
But, before I forget; let me just postulate that to, “in any way” equate the Reformation Lutheran Church as akin to anything actually Christian is to attach anything other than cult status to Muslims. Churches such as that produce nothing but community organizers, pedophiles and abortion aficionados. As long as were are clear…
Okay…where was I? Ah yes; the lenient gun laws that allow us right winged nuts to dispatch reputable medical parishioners off to the Reformation Lutheran Church graveyard… posthaste. This is the mosaic that will be cobbled together by our stalwart media.
But here’s the real story; the one that the media will never portray. The guy getting the medical procedure as we speak, “an autopsy” was the man responsible for hundreds of infant deaths. For you lily livered, fence sitting Podunk’s out there who might be indifferent to abortion, let me set you straight. This doctor bought nice homes, raised a family and supported a wife by slaughtering full term viable infants. That is not abortion; it is infanticide. And… I suspect at this very moment his soul is wondering what happened to the air-conditioning.
As to the gunman; I also suspect that this is a man who simply couldn’t abide the continuation of the slaughter. So…he took the law into his own hands; something that should never be done. In actuality, in my humble opinion, the shooter is more of a victim than the victim. Because, in reality the United States Supreme Court is the real culprit. For, they took the choice away from the people and set in motion a mood of disenfranchisement. Still, I pray for the shooter, not for the soul of this doctor. He sold that soul for gold and murdered his fellow man…over and over.

America Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection

2009-05-28T19:04:00.001-07:00

Washington-May, 29

On Friday President Barack Obama announced that the United States would be filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in federal court. Obama told White House press reporters that, “a bankruptcy filing was necessary to prevent China from foreclosing on California, New York, Washington D.C. and Hillary Clinton”.

The president also announced a move to lay off congress and their staffs citing insufficient funds to keep them on the payroll. Retail giant Wal-Mart has expressed interest in the capitol buildings as a possible new Super Store.

In a prefatory ruling the court has asked for Americas credit card to be cut up, shredded, burned and finally buried at the tomb of the unknown creditor.

Mr. Obama’s last ditch effort to save the economy by turning every American upside down and shaking them failed miserably when his Internal Revenue Service realized they had already taken the last cent of every citizen.

It would now seem that America’s future is in the hands of the federal bankruptcy courts. Some of the more contentious issues before the court will be whether Venezuela or Cuba will get custody of Obama, how many states will be remunerated to China, who will lay claim to the White House china and who will accept conservatorship over Paris Hilton.

It is expected that the federal judge overseeing the bankruptcy will allow Obama to sell the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone national park, Alaska, Britney Spears, the Statue of Liberty, the Marine Corps, the Olsen twins, the rights to the Three Stooges, Glenn Beck, Snapple®, NASA, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, the Simpsons, the Golden gate bridge and Charmin® to raise operating capital to finance Michelle Obama’s wardrobe while the dissolution of America winds its way through the courts.

In a related story; Obama has signed an executive order in preface of the chapter 11 filing recalling all United States currency. Citizens are ordered to burn their cash in an environmentally safe fashion. A recent poll suggests that most Americans have already begun this practice, quite possibly just to stay warm as Obama’s global warming initiative has made electricity too costly for the average family.

The President, in his weekly radio address asked of all Americans to remain calm during this, “foreclosure” and attempting to allay national fears he reminded the public that when you think about it, it’s really their fault the country went to hell in a hand basket because; as the president put it, “Hey, you wanted hope and change”. It should be noted that in the same address Obama asked the American people for any loose change they might be hoarding.

It is as yet unclear what America will look like after bankruptcy proceedings and time will tell if the United States chapter 11 filing will eventually avalanche into a full blown fire sale, chapter 7. However; an ominous tenor has been forthcoming by the administration in that Obama is now requiring Chinese to be taught in our public schools instead of math.

A True Legal Beagle

2009-05-26T18:14:00.001-07:00

President Barack Obama on Tuesday named federal appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor as his choice to replace the retiring justice David, “the stealthy” Souter.
The only surprise in the Bamster’s pick of this legal beagle is that he could actually refer to S.S. as a legal scholar with a straight face. And; it’s a damn good thing that justices don’t abide that pesky swimsuit competition…I’m just saying.

Still we’re to be comforted with Sonia’s life experiences and take solace in a more reflective representation of Hispanics on the court.
Foremost and let me emphasize this; The United States Supreme Court is not a representative body. For added effect, “THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE BODY”. If one could apply that noun to the court they would represent fidelity to the rule of law and our constitution. Also, I’ve had it with a nominee’s life experience and perspective. Just what in the hell does that mean? The mission of the court is to apply the law as enacted by the legislature whilst keeping a sharp eye on our founding documents.

Look, this isn’t rocket science. Liberals want two bites at this legal apple. They denounced George Bush for trampling the constitution by wiretapping bloodthirsty, “child raping” Jihadists and engaging in water sports when he got his hands on them. Yet; their litmus test for justices requires that they be moderate and mainstream in their judicial opinions. Moderate and mainstream, really…? What about a fealty to the constitution that justices swear to uphold.

And; don’t throw the “interpretation” mud pie against the wall…it won’t stick. The constitution is a fairly easy read. On the occasion wherein justices are actually befuddled as to the framers intent, simply read the words and thoughts of Adams, Jefferson and Franklin. Read the Federalists papers. Read Franklins diary. Read Jefferson’s journal. Simply read the minutes of the constitutional convention. It’s all there.

We know damn well what the intent of our founders was. What they pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for. Study article two of our constitution in which the powers given to the federal government are enumerated. Peruse the tenth amendment where decreed that those powers not enumerated to the federal government are left to the state; after that explain again about demographic representation on the court. Hell; I can understand the constitution and I’m just a skinny comedian.

This won’t fly and you liberal sapsuckers know it. You beady little rodents expound your love of our constitution and revert to using it as Charmin® three-ply when it suits you. Your loyalty is to the latest identity that you’ve attached yourself to. The latest hero you’ve chosen to wash the feet of.

I’d rather not even hear your testimonials of endearment to the document you so readily compromise. You’ve attached yourself to a separation of church and state embedded within that sacrosanct document where one does not exist. You have used emanations of penumbras to find a general right to privacy when in reality it cannot be found in any article of text. You then used this non-existent tale of two constitutions to murder the un-born.

We conservatives see right through you Sheila’s come lately. You wear the constitution on your socialist sleeve until it doesn’t suit you. Then you discard it like a used condom and give it as much thought.
But; here’s the thing, and this is prescient. You liberal lackeys didn’t give birth to this country. You haven’t given up a damn thing for it. And; this is important, you didn’t inherit it. None of us did. We are simply stewards of freedom. Caretakers if you will. Yet; our most dedicated responsibility is to those documents written by the men who did give everything so that we might have dominion and an abiding stewardship over the singular country divinely founded. That responsibility requires us to fanatically oppose Obama’s pound puppy prognosticator of plenary judicial activism. We just say no!

Got Dick ???

2009-05-21T17:19:00.000-07:00

This wasn’t the best kept secret in Washington. Hell; even short-bus liberals had Dick Cheney pegged as the evil puppeteer pulling George Bush’s strings. And; we can all thank God for it. As it turns out, 9-11 was the vice Presidents pivot point, his conversion.

There were the leaks in which Mr. Cheney was portrayed as chomping at the bit to dust off military ordinance and commence to dispatching Muslims by the bushel, off to their beloved Allah. It was Cheney who put forth the plan to turn Afghanistan into a large smoldering hole followed by Iraq and Iran. It was Cheney who ascribed to letting Israel off the leash and into the west bank and Gaza. And; sadly, it was Condi Rice and Colin Powell moderating moderation, caution and a measured, tepid response. The results were Bin Laden, “and his band of merry men” escaping Tora Bora, the Taliban allowed to migrate into Pakistan, the Iraq war lasting more than a week and the finest military in the world fighting with one hand tied behind the ACLU.

When you think about it, this is as stark as the Botox injection sites on Nancy Pelosi’s mug. By the way; how many calories do you think Pelosi burns just by forcing that frozen, plastered face into a conniving smile? I’m just saying…

We now know why Mr. Cheney is, “was” so hated by those wacky wahine wazzacks left of center and an order of French fries short of a happy meal. It is this; the former vice President had the unmitigated gall to actually stand for the defense of his country. He opined the destruction of our enemies. He put forth that tired, antiquated postulation that America should smite those who would do us harm in the name of a cult religion.

We now know that Dick subscribed to the Ann Coulter antidote in application of Middle East Policy. That being that we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. Can I haaaaaave an Amen?

We’ve also learned something else. George Bush was as milquetoast and moderate as his affable pop. Not only did conservatives get Bush lite, it was also watered down. As it turns out, the second most powerful man during the Bush years was the conservative war monger we had been waiting for since Ronauldus Magnus Reagan hired the Acme van lines truck to move his davenport from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to the ranch in California. Good times; good times.

Today America is being treated to the real Dick Cheney; unplugged if you will. While most of the Republicans are still curled up in a ball, sucking their thumbs and sobbing over their electoral defeat; “too timid to approach the Bamster’s poll numbers with even a discouraging word” conservatives are treated to a bald guy, “with a bad ticker” in a full fledged frontal assault on this socialist squirrel B. Hussein, jack of all asses.

It would seem, scratch a former vice President, and find a patriot. Cheney is filling a vacuum; A vacuum of conservative leadership.

It’s too early for a Jindal or Palin to enter the fray and accept the yoke of leadership for the Republicans and most importantly the conservative wing of the party.

And; since most of the Republicans are still shuddering in their foxholes, or even worse, “bending over for the anointed one” it is fitting and proper for Dick Cheney to, “knight up” and take on this fire breathing, money grubbing, tax and spend fascist. After all; evil does triumph when good men do nothing.

To Torture or Not...???

2009-05-17T20:45:00.000-07:00

I’m just saying; this tortured torture argument is a lot of flummery foisted as a faux pas targeting those who have dedicated their lives to protecting us, the people. Cognizant, coherent citizens are engaged in a debate where they question the methods of safety provided them. When you think about it, it’s akin to the sperm complaining to the egg about the condom.

I’m not buying it, or even renting it by the mile. My personal policy is pro-torture. I’ve taken it as an article of faith. And trust me; I’ve given torture a great deal of reflection…after all, I have ex-wives.

But, and think about this; we are the lone superpower remaining on this spinning orb and the best we can do is water sports. As John Stossel would say, “give me a break”. I long for that ole time torture. You know; the fire and brimstone, can I haaaaaave an amen, drawing and quartering, the iron maiden dosee doe. Ah yes, good times.

For all of you short bussers on the left and you middle of the road Forrest Gumps, this gets pretty simple. You can even play along at home. We are at war with a cult like pseudo-religion that has as its sacrament the rape of children, the rape of women and the rape of goats; just not in that order.

How about it, friends, neighbors and countrymen? Think about it; we are flogging ourselves in some sort of self flagellation because a few pieces of excrement were made somewhat uncomfortable.

This might surprise you limp wristed leftist Looney tunes but the father of our country had definite ideals and inspirations in his command. You might say he was the original motivational speaker. He regularly whipped subordinates for insubordination and executed deserters. He bucked up. He got the job done. And here’s the thing; don’t try that civilized, the times have changed, we are more enlightened flank attack on my soon to be recognized as a literary masterpiece postulation. That ship has sailed Sally.

Just because you Sheila’s don’t have the backbone or testicular fortitude to put Abdulla’s head in a vice until he gives up what well little Timmy is in doesn’t give you the right to question those of us that will do the heavy lifting and put us in the dock. Better yet to simply say thank-you and leave us to protecting your sorry ass.

Yet, instead; you decry the methods that we stalwarts employ to allow you to peacefully sleep at night in a cozy home filled with promising offspring. How dare you! How dare you question the methods that we apply to the protection of you and the ones you love?

How sanctimonious you must be. To bitterly suffer the application of a trying debate that stakes it flag to the mythical high moral ground in only the abstract. When in, “dynamic realism” innocent people are butchered while good men do nothing.

Listen up you symbiotic simian stupidest scene stealers. All of the theatrics, hand wringing aestivations hoping to stretch this debate well nigh into the fall, one might presume that at some point the adults will once again command the steering of this frog back into a tadpole. This isn’t news. Hell yes we should torture. It should be done quietly and not on the front page of the New York Slimes. Come to think of it; my garage is pretty quiet. I’m just saying….

Patton; our last Winner!

2009-05-14T18:25:00.000-07:00

Last week was a great week! First; my wife started a new book destined to keep her on the couch “and out of my office”, the neighbors’ dog, “accidentally” got squashed by a garbage truck and the cherry on my sundae was the finest military in the world sending an even dozen Afghan Jihadists off to their seventy-two virgins. Or…in the literal Arabic translation, “seventy-two white raisins”. Honest; look it up.

However; it was somewhat disturbing to see the entire hullabaloo surrounding the sudden room temperature of a few busloads of innocent civilians. This seeming faux pas apparently warranted the visit of a lieutenant General to Inspector Clouseasu the whole mishap and insure heads would roll.

Look; I’m as sensitive to blown up babies as the next guy but I didn’t raise an eyebrow on this news, and frankly I want and expect more dead civilians; Lots of them.

Listen up peaceniks and purveyors of non violent conflict resolution. War is hell and the first rule of war is that innocents will die. America has engaged in a war with Islam while holding a purse in one hand and tying the other hand behind the ACLU. We’ve been too damned worried about turning women and children into mulch instead of keeping our eye on the ball and conducting warfare in the only manner that has proven successful, that being; a reckless disregard for human life and ruthlessness rarely seen in human endeavor.

General Patton fired one of his company commanders for entering a small hamlet under heavy fire instead of calling for air support to literally level the village, innocent civilians and all.

When engaging in the art of war one might assume that we would actually look to a commander in a war that we actually won for at least some semblance of guidance.

In World War two allied forces would engage a town or village up to the point wherein they came under heavy resistance. At that point they would retreat to the edge of the village and absolutely level the place with armor and air for at least twenty four hours. We bombed German cities, including Dresden and Berlin. We killed more civilian Japanese by firebombing their cities than died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We won.

Now we face a new enemy, no more deadly or powerful and we flounder in our pursuit of victory.

And; this week, our national debate has been focused on water sports with detainees that go boom. What the hell?

George Patton wrote about a pale white German who had just blown up a bridge, from his foxhole, killing several American G.I.’s. As the bridge fell into the water the German soldier jumped out of his foxhole and surrendered. In astonishment Patton watched as American soldiers accepted his surrender. Later; three of the four soldiers who had, “captured” the German were transferred to potato peelers. They hadn’t the will to fight or do what was necessary to win.

Of course; Patton wouldn’t be embraced into polite politically correct American as it is currently inhabited. We’d prefer to stick out our pinky finger while we read Miranda rights to terrorists who have sworn to kill us. Patton said it, “It seems to me a certainty that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the utter degradation of the Arab women are the outstanding causes for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have been developing”. We could learn a great deal from Patton. For instance, he also said, “The radio this morning said that the C.I.O. wants a bigger 'New Deal'. Where in hell do they think the money comes from? Or, do they simply want to destroy our form of government and go communist? If they knew as much about Russia as I do, they would not be so crazy to be communists’.” He continued, “Politicians are the lowest form of life on the earth. Liberal Democrats are the lowest form of politician”. Nuff Said.

Who Ons the Bamster ????

2009-05-07T21:17:00.001-07:00

Obama's overseas (foreign) contributors made multiple small donations, ostensibly in their own names, over a period of a several months leading up to the Presidential election, some under maximum donation allowances, but others are aggregating in excess of the maximums when all added up. Though foreign donations are illegal, the media seemed to see, hear or speak no evil. The countries and major cities from which contributions have been received France, Virgin Islands, Planegg, Vienna, Hague, Madrid, London, AE, IR, Geneva,Tokyo, Bangkok, Turin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Roma, Zurich, Netherlands, Moscow, Ireland, Milan, Singapore, Bejing, Switzerland, Toronto, Vancouver, La Creche, Pak Chong, Dublin, Panama, Krabi, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Prague, Nagoya, Budapest, Barcelona, Sweden, Taipei, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Zurich, Ragusa, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Uganda, Mumbia, Nagoya, Tunis, Zacatecas, St, Croix, Mississauga, Laval, Nadi, Behchoko, Ragusa, DUBIA, Lima, Copenhagen, Quaama, Jeddah, Kabul, Cairo, Nassau(not the county on Long Island,lol), Luxembourg (Auchi's stomping grounds), etc,etc,etc,

Despite the evidence of dirty campaign donations, crickets chirped in newsrooms across the country. Obama paid out at least $2,250,000 to the SEIU, the Service Employees International Union - the nation's largest labor union and the latest 'criminalized' org to be exposed in the Democrat scandal of enormous proportion. And SEIU COPE-PAC spent $13,355,389.00 on behalf of Barack Hussein. Interesting enough; The SEIU was responsible for getting out the vote in Indiana, Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin. SEIU paid for door-to-door canvassing for Obama, voter identification and registration. They also provided several thousand members to man phone banks all over the country.

THUG-IN-CHIEF OBAMA ABOVE THE LAW: WILL ESCAPE MASSIVE CAMPAIGN FRAUD AND MONEY LAUNDERING
This Smacks of Putinism. You mean to tell me the millions of dollars in illegal donations, credit card fraud, foreign and Arab money that has been documented will escape prosecution? Obama recklessly broke campaign finance law and he escapes prosecution? I am asking all Americans, do you give a rat's ass about this country and rule of law?
More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won't disclose. And questions have arisen about millions more in foreign donations the Obama campaign has received that apparently have not been vetted as legitimate.
Federal law does not require the campaigns to identify donors who give less than $200 during the election cycle. However, it does require that campaigns calculate running totals for each donor and report them once they go beyond the $200 mark.
Surprisingly, the great majority of Obama donors never break the $200 threshold.
“Contributions that come under $200 aggregated per person are not listed,” said Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the FEC. “They don’t appear anywhere, so there’s no way of knowing who they are.”
The FEC breakdown of the Obama campaign has identified a staggering $222.7 million as coming from contributions of $200 or less. Only $39.6 million of that amount comes from donors the Obama campaign has identified.
It is the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002.
Which begs the question; who is the man behind the curtain of Obama Hussein?
What was the October surprise on September 18, 2008? Did someone cause a run on Money Markets that began the snowball of financial troubles we now face?
On Thursday at about 11 o'clock in the morning the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous drawdown of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion that was being drawn out in a matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help. It pumped $105 billion in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide; we were having an electronic run on the banks. They decided to close the operation, close down the money accounts and announce a guarantee of $250,000 per account so there wouldn't be further panic out there.

This is the day that the Atlanta banks ran out of one-hundred-dollar bills. But now stop and think of this: A $550 billion withdrawal from money market funds in one-to-two hours. I am convinced that this is what they took to the White House and said to President Bush, "We have got a disaster, you have got to get on board with a bailout," which came later on in October, "you've got to get on board with this $700 billion, the TARP 1,"

If they had not done that, the estimation was that by two o'clock that afternoon, five-and-a-half trillion dollars would have been drawn out of the money market system of the United States, it would have collapsed the entire economy of the United States, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it. We're really no better off today than we were then because we've had a decrease in the equity positions of banks because other assets are going sour by the moment.

We know that last fall, the Federal Reserve lent $2 trillion to somebody or a series of somebody’s, and we still don't know where it went. We know last year that we had a crisis on our hands and everybody was saying if we didn't do this bailout today the country was finished and they panicked Bush to get on board, they got Paulson on board. Obviously this kind of news, if somebody from the Fed shows up and Bernanke and Paulson say, "Hey, we have a chance of losing five-and-a-half trillion dollars if we don't do something,"

Yet; who orchestrated this collapse and why? China, Russia, George Soros? The why in this conundrum is self evident, “a gimme if you will”. A financial foreign behemoth orchestrated the monetary meltdown to insure the election of one of their own. And the sheik puppeteer pulling the strings was no other than King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud of Saudi Arabia. You might remember he was the one who Obama prostrated himself to and did everything but offer to press and starch his robes.

Think about it; were we to completely collapse, so would China, Russia and as filthy rich as Soros may be, even that dastardly Dan hasn’t the wealth to pull something like this off. No; it was the house of Saud. For after all; despite Barry’s denials he is a Muslim, he was born in Kenya, “as stated by his grandmother’ and as the best indicator of his faith one need observe his treatment of Israel.

As quoted in the Washington Times, “President Obama's efforts to curb the spread of nuclear weapons threaten to expose and derail a 40-year-old secret U.S. agreement to shield Israel's nuclear weapons from international scrutiny, former and current U.S. and Israeli officials and nuclear specialists say”.

Israel's Arab neighbors grasp what the Obama administration won't

It is a strange situation when Egypt and Jordan feel it necessary to defend Israel against American criticism. But this is the situation in which we find ourselves today. Secretary of State, “Hilary Rodham Pantsuit” recently warned that Israel would not have American support for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The Los Angeles Times reports: “The Obama administration, already on treacherous political ground because of its outreach to traditional adversaries such as Iran and Cuba, has opened the door, “a crack” to engagement with the militant group Hamas.
The Palestinian group is designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization and under law may not receive federal aid.
But the administration has asked Congress for minor changes in U.S. law that would permit aid to continue flowing to Palestinians in the event Hamas-backed officials become part of a unified Palestinian government. However; the Administration has quietly begun to transfer aid from the west bank Palestinians to Gaza held Hamas”.
This makes perfect sense, provided we assume Obama to be a dyed in the wool Islamic radical. Why should we be surprised? When looking to the extremist Obama spent his formative years with.
What we have residing at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue is a true Manchurian candidate; following the direction of the Saudis with dual goals of destroying the great Satin, “the United States” and the little Satin, “Israel.
As further proof; not that my case is refutable, I offer for your consideration the situation in Pakistan. Barry Hussein convinced the Pakistani government to offer the Taliban the northern province of Punjab as a gesture of reconciliation. Ironically; this province was the optimal geographic area to mount an attack on its strategic advance to Islamabad.
Today, the Taliban has pushed to within sixty miles of the capitol city and; as should be noted, the densest population of the countries nuclear weapons.
What should be noted; and this is of import. We know that Obama attended a Madrasah in Indonesia as a young man. Under Islamic law only Muslims are allowed to attend these religious factories of hate. And, we also know that the penalty for converting from Islam to Christianity is death. One might remember Salman Rushdie and the fatwa sentencing him to death for such a conversion. Yet; no edict from Islamic clerics has been forthcoming for Mohamed Barry Hussein.
These are dangerous times for America. And the man with his hand on our collective tiller, under his control, intends to destroy this country with stealth and a teleprompter. He intends not only to allow the destruction of our ally, “Israel” he has chosen his adopted country for the final solution.
Also; after a great deal of study an analysis I would postulate this; we have participated in our last Presidential election. We are passively watching this government move at lightning speed to nationalize as much of the private economy as possible. As we watch, the Bamster is criminalizing his political opponents; A move reminiscent of Adolph Hitler or a BANANA REPUBLIC.
Obama is preparing this country for the fourth Reich. And we are about to learn a lesson of biblical proportions. That is; “when you dance with the devil, the devil doesn’t change, he changes you”. America is on the path to a change we will never recover from and like the third Reich, it will only require one demigod, gifted at reading a teleprompter and holding an abiding allegiance to Islam. God help us all.

The Top Myths Foisted Upon the Huddled Masses

2009-04-21T18:30:00.000-07:00

The Top Myths Foisted Upon the Huddled Masses

Bill Clinton balanced the budget and left George Bush with a surplus Myth!

Yes; there was actually a balanced budget during the grey days of the Clinton era yet, it had little to do with Bill, or even Monica. Fact; Presidents do submit a budget to congress and routinely congress ignores it. The Presidential budget is merely a political straw dog. The house of Representatives, “per our constitution” is responsible for all legislation that would include spending; including our budget. When Newt Gingrich and the boys rode into town in 1994 Republicans assumed scribing of our Federal budget. Of course; Bill Clinton feared a balanced budget, “on the grounds that it was good for America” and promptly vetoed it, causing a shutdown of the Federal government. Clinton finally caved, signing the Republican balanced budget and later claimed it was He who actually balanced it. The other myth is that Bush came into office with a surplus. Not so skippy; this was simply fuzzy math, combining Social Security revenues with the general operating budget. There was never a surplus.

Roosevelt saved us From the Great Depression Myth!

Right again; it is a myth. The stock market crash of 1929 was caused in large part by, “you guessed it” a Kennedy. Joe Kennedy shorted, manipulated and so corrupted the markets as to single handedly crash the market. It was the fiscal and social engineering policies of Roosevelt that caused the depression. Another myth is that World War Two helped end the depression; it did not. America actually crawled out of the depression when pent up demand in the world markets exceeded supply. It’s as simple as that.

The Constitution abides a separation of church and state. Myth!

There is no such separation in our founding document. In our first amendment appears, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;” what isn’t well known is that until the mid 1930’s churches operated all public schools and bible reading was mandated by several state constitutions.

Federal Authority over the States Myth!

Articles one, two and three, enumerated all constitutional, Federal authority. Those powers are to provide for a common defense, negotiate international treaties and to settle disputes in the arena of commerce between the several states. PERIOD! The tenth amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”. Nuff Said.

Barack Obama is an American citizen Myth!

I report; you decide. Barry’s’ grandmother claims she was present at Obama’s birth; in Kenya. Obama has admitted to dual citizenship at one point in his life and his record of birth from the state of Hawaii can’t be found. To get a drivers license in this country you have to either present a birth certificate or sneak into this country illegally. Obama was allowed to walk into the highest office in the land without even a cursory look-see at his birth record. The plot thickens when you realize that it was impossible for his parents to have been legally married. Comrade Obama also claims he is now a Christian; yet more of an impossibility. It is know that Barry, as a lad, attended an Islamic school in Indonesia. To attend that school he would have been required to swear a fidelity to Mohamed, Islam and child rape. The penalty under Islamic law for a Muslim converting to Christianity is death. To date; not one Muslim cleric has called for such action.

Islam is a Religion Myth!

This is, “without a doubt” one of the greatest myths ever postulated. Islam is a cult. Mohamed was not a prophet or an inspiration to his people. Under Mohamed one either converted to Islam or died a painful death. Mohamed made an art form out of mutilation, child rape and mass murder. He was a Hitler without tanks, a Stalin without gulags and a huckster pseudo-prophet.

Darwinism is a Myth!

Not even the Huckster Darwin actually believed in evolution in his later years. Yet; his posit theorem lives on. The meaning to this, “supposed science” is nothing more, “or less” than a covert attack on religion. The pinheads that would have us believe that man has origins from a primordial soup discount a creator and posit the abstract notion that humans are simply hairless monkeys. To this I would promote; if we, “humans” derived from apes, why are there still apes? Liberals must discount a creator as to abide “or to acknowledge” one requires a moral code.

Abortion is a Right Myth!

In 1972 the United States Supreme Court found a “general right” to privacy in the constitution where one neither does exist. Read the constitution, “I have” it is nowhere to be found. What the Supreme Court did was to invent a specific right using “emanations of penumbras”. Which; is simply legal speak for the court legislating from the bench. Simply put, the court decided that the bedroom of adults is sacrosanct and cannot be invaded; after all the case before them hinged on birth control and conception. Yet; the bedroom is not inviolate. I.E., try murdering someone in your bedroom.

There is NO Proof that there is a God Myth!

Actually, this is a truism. There is no proof of God; yet, there is evidence. As it’s said; “A child’s birth is Gods acknowledgement that the world should continue”. Look into the night sky, a child’s face, the beauty of nature, our planets great oceans, our snowcapped mountains, mans compassion or any of the millions of planetary wonders. No, there isn’t absolute proof; there isn’t supposed to be. The most common denominator of Christianity is faith and for faith to be absolute there cannot be proof. But; there is evidence.

Our Rights Come From the Constitution Myth!

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Thomas Jefferson included that sentence in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution, “or more specifically” the Bill of Rights protects those God given rights from government.

The Great Global Warming Myth!

For the past nine years the planet has been cooling. As such, The Global Warming Nazis have changed their nomenclature to, “Climate Change”. Our planet has experienced ice ages, periods of balmy weather and other such idiosyncrasies long before man turned the ignition key in our first SUV. Pay attention; the wizards of smart cannot even predict the weather accurately, seven days out. Yet these same idiots claim to have a monopoly on climate forecasts.

The Civil War was fought to end Slavery Myth!

Do your own investigation. What you’ll find is the states exhorting their constitutional authority over an oppressive federal government. In your search you’ll soon discover the, “Alien and Sedition act”, Federal intrusion into state government and the end of Federalism. A true search will compel you to ask? Why was America the only country on the planet to fight a war to end the scourge of slavery?

Let's Get This Tea Party Started!

2009-04-14T18:46:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? …Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Rutledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year, he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later, he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government! You might be asking of yourself just what you have sacrificed for freedom?

Eleven score and thirteen years ago America was founded on the principals of rugged individualism and inherent freedoms. America began as an idea, an experiment in self determination wherein government derived its limited authority from the people and served at their behest. This young republic assumed upon itself the mantle of the last, best hope for the world. Sadly, at this time and place we mourn her passing. Historians will long debate the passing of the greatest country on earth but few will regale, with wit, the Socialistic virus responsible for her demise. America was first diagnosed with Socialism in the 1960’s and suffered many injustices, trials and relapses throughout the next two decades. In the 80’s America fought back against this usually fatal disease with the help and guidance of “Ronaldus Magnus”, better known as Ronald Reagan. President Reagan attacked Socialism with a fervor not seen by the American electorate since the founding of its great republic. Reagan believed in America and America believed in him. During the 80’s Socialism in America was in remission, and on the run. For a time, far too short, America made sense again and thrived. After Reagan America was never the same. Socialism gradually seeped back in the American lexicon and the virulent strain again masticated democracy throughout the states and across the fruited plain. Finally, in 2009, America heaved her last gasp and departed this world, taking with her the hopes and dreams held dear by her masses. She will be remembered for what could have been; Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Sadly; this postscript is much more than flowery prose and postulation. This could happen. Ask yourself… what have you done to preserve freedom?

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury, “Think Barry’s BBQ ribs in every pot and home ownership for deadbeats”. “The result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy is always followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two-hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependence back again into bondage.”

—Alexander Fraser Tyler, 1700 Quotation found in SYNERGY Server [Note: The Professor wrote about the fall of the Athenian republic over a thousand years ago, this when America was a British colony.]

Authors Note ** We are not abiding a Democracy; Our government is a representative republic gone mad.

I begin this most prescient posit quoting Professor Tyler primarily for his profound ability to stand askance as to the execution of government when the enumerated powers loaned to the federal government are ignored and/or adulterated. Thomas Paine, “the Rush Limbaugh of his time” said, “Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one”. This is the state of governance we are compelled to tolerate and endure.

“[T]he government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.” — James Madison, {general author of our constitution}

“A wise and frugal government … shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.” — Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801

These quotes from our founders; “whom I believe were rooted in divine inspiration” have been totally filed under, “I” for irrelevant and looked upon by our present day congress and the executive branch as merely a super sized roll of Charmin® three ply in the same men’s room formerly occupied by the toe tapping, wide stance Senator from Idaho; A.K.A Larry, “men seeking men” Craigslist.

When James Madison said that the text of our constitution specifically states that no where in that document was there a codicil or even the intent that our federal government has purview over the distribution of charity; Or taking income from those engaged in productivity and transferring it to baby machines and winos whose preference is to suckle at the teat of earners.

After all; it was James Madison who actually wrote the constitution with the help of Thomas Paine; thus answering once and for all the intent of this sacred parchment.

“To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” — Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816

Abraham Lincoln, “the object of Barry’s man crush” also had thoughts about spreading the wealth, though his thoughts were diametrically opposed to the temporary lease holder of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties”.-President Abraham Lincoln.

As the ratings for the Obama sitcom dwarf those of American Idol; thanks in large part to the Presidents decisions to close club Gitmo and relocate its clients to a halfway house in Crawford Texas, while rescinding the water sports portion of their daily entertainment and limiting the questioning of these misunderstood, peaceful reformers, “ who accidentally go BOOM” on occasion to, “ how can we make you more comfortable” or “ would you like President Obama to sign your Koran” ? We the people are treated to an administration most reminiscent of a three stooges re-run…Nyuk, Nyuk!

Meanwhile; back at the White House, “where the black guy lives”, Obama spends most of his time rating female interns from 1-10 yet, has found time to jimmy the government cash register and pilfer $1 gazillion greenbacks to finance Ass Chaps on Rabid Nuts, or “ACORN”. Abortions for European cheerleaders, their mothers, unwed sheep and that mother in California that just gave birth to eight children; now possessing a football team, complete with backups.

And; as Obama plays Santa Clause for every mega-liberal wet dream, he intends to pay for this shopping spree by placing his picture on the dollar bill and stenciling in twelve zeros next to the $1. That and combining his fight against obesity by taxing Americans by the pound, sending jackbooted IRS thugs out to literally make change by hoisting citizens by their ankles and shaking them; dislodging the change from their pockets, appointing Bernie Made-off as confiscator of wealth from the wealthy, changing the mission of the peace corps to picking up aluminum cans, unionizing the homeless, taxing sex by the inch, “Democrats would be allowed to estimate” taxing children’s allowances and playing the lottery. I’m reminded of the words of very wise men and their thoughts on taxes.

“I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”
—Winston Churchill

“I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity. [To approve such spending] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”
—President Franklin Pierce (1854)

“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built”.- Abraham Lincoln

So why the historical perspective, why the history of those great men who not only conceived this document, “our constitution” a document we conservatives consider to be divinely inspired and sacrosanct; A document that these great men pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, under the penalty of death? Why? Because my friends it is being dismantled, one section at a time, under our very noses.

Sadly; we have become a politically correct, Oprah watching, spoiled, fat, sassy, entitled, lazy, sappy, microwaveable, remote control, blasphemous, fast food, Hollywood worshiping, selfish, non-voting, politically illiterate, government dependent, credit card, sub-prime, ignorant sheep. Quick; what is enumerated in our tenth amendment? What are the names of all nine Supreme Court justices?

These questions were put to a cross section of college seniors with predictable results. Less than 10% could name even five justices, less than 1% could paraphrase our tenth amendment. None of the participants could give even a basic explanation of economics.

Perhaps it’s just my conspiracy, black helicopter, and grassy knoll, nature that believes this is but coincidental and arbitrary. Though, After all; were our founding documents ingrained into our young skulls full of mush, along with a basic understanding of economic principals; the democrat party would be extinct and exhibits of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, ET. Al., would be featured in the Smithsonian next to the Neanderthals.

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power”.- Thomas Jefferson

The Rhetorical dagger I most often use when skewering you Lilliputian, liberal, bootlicking lackey loons from the left as I Lionize conservatives and belittle the salmonella tainted, peanut size frontal lobes possessed by you water head, short buss, Forrest Gump’s, Is simply common sense combined with my inherent, unequaled, unqualified brilliance.

Even with your diminished liberal mental faculties; I have but one question for you special ED, Special Olympics flunkies. And; it is this. Even taken for granted that the majority of you lack of the gray matter to form a coherent thought, tie your shoes or chew gum at the same time you must accept the gold standard of substantive recumbentibus pertinent thelemic freedoms that we are indeed endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights that do not come from government; but no, our rights are God given and simply loaned to government as a temporary note.

Meaning; what government hasn’t the authority so enumerated to that body in the text of the constitution, they have not the authority to exercise. There is no federal, constitutional, powers which would allow government to empower the treasury secretary to allocate funds, to collect earnings from one taxpayer and deliver them to a slacker, to regulate states exploration of energy, to bailout anyone or anything, to fund abortion, to set, “CAFÉ” standards, to fund education, to apply federal taxes to any goods or services, to regulate anything that does not involve a commercial dispute between the states, or the thousands of duties our federal government has taken upon itself.

Our constitution is clear and unambiguous. The federal government is charged with three and only three duties and is limited by the tenth amendment from straying into other legislative arenas. Those authorities are; to provide for a common defense, to negotiate international treaties and to settle disputes between the several states, only in the context of interstate commerce. All other governing responsibilities reside with the states.

These weren’t simply suggestions postulated by those great men whom born this country by sacrificing blood and treasure. No; our founders actually put quill to parchment and specifically enumerated those edicts as governing principals to be adhered to. And; lest there be any doubt they also affixed their John Hancock’s to their document and swore an oath to protect and defend the principals within the text. By the way; this is the same oath taken by our President and congressional representatives.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s time for those elected, spoiled, greedy corrupt bastards and bitches who have made a career out of screwing the people they are supposed to be working for, just maybe they should dust off the constitution and give it a look see. For those career politicians with the courage to do so I would expect a speedy resignation. For the document they swore to protect and defend, they have adulterated, bastardized, emasculated and belittled. Now; what will you do about it? What say you?

George Washinton's Final Address to the nation

2009-04-06T21:40:00.000-07:00

Washington's Farewell Address 1796

Friends and Citizens:
The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the executive government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be made.
I beg you, at the same time, to do me the justice to be assured that this resolution has not been taken without a strict regard to all the considerations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country; and that in withdrawing the tender of service, which silence in my situation might imply, I am influenced by no diminution of zeal for your future interest, no deficiency of grateful respect for your past kindness, but am supported by a full conviction that the step is compatible with both.
The acceptance of, and continuance hitherto in, the office to which your suffrages have twice called me have been a uniform sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty and to a deference for what appeared to be your desire. I constantly hoped that it would have been much earlier in my power, consistently with motives which I was not at liberty to disregard, to return to that retirement from which I had been reluctantly drawn. The strength of my inclination to do this, previous to the last election, had even led to the preparation of an address to declare it to you; but mature reflection on the then perplexed and critical posture of our affairs with foreign nations, and the unanimous advice of persons entitled to my confidence, impelled me to abandon the idea.
I rejoice that the state of your concerns, external as well as internal, no longer renders the pursuit of inclination incompatible with the sentiment of duty or propriety, and am persuaded, whatever partiality may be retained for my services, that, in the present circumstances of our country, you will not disapprove my determination to retire.
The impressions with which I first undertook the arduous trust were explained on the proper occasion. In the discharge of this trust, I will only say that I have, with good intentions, contributed towards the organization and administration of the government the best exertions of which a very fallible judgment was capable. Not unconscious in the outset of the inferiority of my qualifications, experience in my own eyes, perhaps still more in the eyes of others, has strengthened the motives to diffidence of myself; and every day the increasing weight of years admonishes me more and more that the shade of retirement is as necessary to me as it will be welcome. Satisfied that if any circumstances have given peculiar value to my services, they were temporary, I have the consolation to believe that, while choice and prudence invite me to quit the political scene, patriotism does not forbid it.
In looking forward to the moment which is intended to terminate the career of my public life, my feelings do not permit me to suspend the deep acknowledgment of that debt of gratitude which I owe to my beloved country for the many honors it has conferred upon me; still more for the steadfast confidence with which it has supported me; and for the opportunities I have thence enjoyed of manifesting my inviolable attachment, by services faithful and persevering, though in usefulness unequal to my zeal. If benefits have resulted to our country from these services, let it always be remembered to your praise, and as an instructive example in our annals, that under circumstances in which the passions, agitated in every direction, were liable to mislead, amidst appearances sometimes dubious, vicissitudes of fortune often discouraging, in situations in which not unfrequently want of success has countenanced the spirit of criticism, the constancy of your support was the essential prop of the efforts, and a guarantee of the plans by which they were effected. Profoundly penetrated with this idea, I shall carry it with me to my grave, as a strong incitement to unceasing vows that heaven may continue to you the choicest tokens of its beneficence; that your union and brotherly affection may be perpetual; that the free Constitution, which is the work of your hands, may be sacredly maintained; that its administration in every department may be stamped with wisdom and virtue; that, in fine, the happiness of the people of these States, under the auspices of liberty, may be made complete by so careful a preservation and so prudent a use of this blessing as will acquire to them the glory of recommending it to the applause, the affection, and adoption of every nation which is yet a stranger to it.
Here, perhaps, I ought to stop. But a solicitude for your welfare, which cannot end but with my life, and the apprehension of danger, natural to that solicitude, urge me, on an occasion like the present, to offer to your solemn contemplation, and to recommend to your frequent review, some sentiments which are the result of much reflection, of no inconsiderable observation, and which appear to me all-important to the permanency of your felicity as a people. These will be offered to you with the more freedom, as you can only see in them the disinterested warnings of a parting friend, who can possibly have no personal motive to bias his counsel. Nor can I forget, as an encouragement to it, your indulgent reception of my sentiments on a former and not dissimilar occasion.
Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment.
The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.
For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.
But these considerations, however powerfully they address themselves to your sensibility, are greatly outweighed by those which apply more immediately to your interest. Here every portion of our country finds the most commanding motives for carefully guarding and preserving the union of the whole.
The North, in an unrestrained intercourse with the South, protected by the equal laws of a common government, finds in the productions of the latter great additional resources of maritime and commercial enterprise and precious materials of manufacturing industry. The South, in the same intercourse, benefiting by the agency of the North, sees its agriculture grow and its commerce expand. Turning partly into its own channels the seamen of the North, it finds its particular navigation invigorated; and, while it contributes, in different ways, to nourish and increase the general mass of the national navigation, it looks forward to the protection of a maritime strength, to which itself is unequally adapted. The East, in a like intercourse with the West, already finds, and in the progressive improvement of interior communications by land and water, will more and more find a valuable vent for the commodities which it brings from abroad, or manufactures at home. The West derives from the East supplies requisite to its growth and comfort, and, what is perhaps of still greater consequence, it must of necessity owe the secure enjoyment of indispensable outlets for its own productions to the weight, influence, and the future maritime strength of the Atlantic side of the Union, directed by an indissoluble community of interest as one nation. Any other tenure by which the West can hold this essential advantage, whether derived from its own separate strength, or from an apostate and unnatural connection with any foreign power, must be intrinsically precarious.
While, then, every part of our country thus feels an immediate and particular interest in union, all the parts combined cannot fail to find in the united mass of means and efforts greater strength, greater resource, proportionably greater security from external danger, a less frequent interruption of their peace by foreign nations; and, what is of inestimable value, they must derive from union an exemption from those broils and wars between themselves, which so frequently afflict neighboring countries not tied together by the same governments, which their own rival ships alone would be sufficient to produce, but which opposite foreign alliances, attachments, and intrigues would stimulate and embitter. Hence, likewise, they will avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty. In this sense it is that your union ought to be considered as a main prop of your liberty, and that the love of the one ought to endear to you the preservation of the other.
These considerations speak a persuasive language to every reflecting and virtuous mind, and exhibit the continuance of the Union as a primary object of patriotic desire. Is there a doubt whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? Let experience solve it. To listen to mere speculation in such a case were criminal. We are authorized to hope that a proper organization of the whole with the auxiliary agency of governments for the respective subdivisions, will afford a happy issue to the experiment. It is well worth a fair and full experiment. With such powerful and obvious motives to union, affecting all parts of our country, while experience shall not have demonstrated its impracticability, there will always be reason to distrust the patriotism of those who in any quarter may endeavor to weaken its bands.
In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection. The inhabitants of our Western country have lately had a useful lesson on this head; they have seen, in the negotiation by the Executive, and in the unanimous ratification by the Senate, of the treaty with Spain, and in the universal satisfaction at that event, throughout the United States, a decisive proof how unfounded were the suspicions propagated among them of a policy in the General Government and in the Atlantic States unfriendly to their interests in regard to the Mississippi; they have been witnesses to the formation of two treaties, that with Great Britain, and that with Spain, which secure to them everything they could desire, in respect to our foreign relations, towards confirming their prosperity. Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the Union by which they were procured ? Will they not henceforth be deaf to those advisers, if such there are, who would sever them from their brethren and connect them with aliens?
To the efficacy and permanency of your Union, a government for the whole is indispensable. No alliance, however strict, between the parts can be an adequate substitute; they must inevitably experience the infractions and interruptions which all alliances in all times have experienced. Sensible of this momentous truth, you have improved upon your first essay, by the adoption of a constitution of government better calculated than your former for an intimate union, and for the efficacious management of your common concerns. This government, the offspring of our own choice, uninfluenced and unawed, adopted upon full investigation and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the distribution of its powers, uniting security with energy, and containing within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and your support. Respect for its authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.
All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.
However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.
Towards the preservation of your government, and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite, not only that you steadily discountenance irregular oppositions to its acknowledged authority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One method of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution, alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown. In all the changes to which you may be invited, remember that time and habit are at least as necessary to fix the true character of governments as of other human institutions; that experience is the surest standard by which to test the real tendency of the existing constitution of a country; that facility in changes, upon the credit of mere hypothesis and opinion, exposes to perpetual change, from the endless variety of hypothesis and opinion; and remember, especially, that for the efficient management of your common interests, in a country so extensive as ours, a government of as much vigor as is consistent with the perfect security of liberty is indispensable. Liberty itself will find in such a government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest guardian. It is, indeed, little else than a name, where the government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of the society within the limits prescribed by the laws, and to maintain all in the secure and tranquil enjoyment of the rights of person and property.
I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischief’s of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, and foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.
There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the government and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in governments of a monarchical cast, patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.
It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositaries, and constituting each the guardian of the public weal against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern; some of them in our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?
Promote then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.
As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible, avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating peace, but remembering also that timely disbursements to prepare for danger frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel it, avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertion in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear. The execution of these maxims belongs to your representatives, but it is necessary that public opinion should co-operate. To facilitate to them the performance of their duty, it is essential that you should practically bear in mind that towards the payment of debts there must be revenue; that to have revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised which are not more or less inconvenient and unpleasant; that the intrinsic embarrassment, inseparable from the selection of the proper objects (which is always a choice of difficulties), ought to be a decisive motive for a candid construction of the conduct of the government in making it, and for a spirit of acquiescence in the measures for obtaining revenue, which the public exigencies may at any time dictate.
Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be, that good policy does not equally enjoin it 7 It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period, a great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence. Who can doubt that, in the course of time and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it ? Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue ? The experiment, at least, is recommended by every sentiment which ennobles human nature. Alas! is it rendered impossible by its vices?
In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence, frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations, has been the victim.
So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.
As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils 7 Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.
Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government. the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.
Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.
Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.
Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations: are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; consulting the natural course of things; diffusing and diversifying by gentle means the streams of commerce, but forcing nothing; establishing (with powers so disposed, in order to give trade a stable course, to define the rights of our merchants, and to enable the government to support them) conventional rules of intercourse, the best that present circumstances and mutual opinion will permit, but temporary, and liable to be from time to time abandoned or varied, as experience and circumstances shall dictate; constantly keeping in view that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.
In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running the course which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations. But, if I may even flatter myself that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated.
How far in the discharge of my official duties I have been guided by the principles which have been delineated, the public records and other evidences of my conduct must witness to you and to the world. To me, the assurance of my own conscience is, that I have at least believed myself to be guided by them.
In relation to the still subsisting war in Europe, my proclamation of the twenty-second of April, I793, is the index of my plan. Sanctioned by your approving voice, and by that of your representatives in both houses of Congress, the spirit of that measure has continually governed me, uninfluenced by any attempts to deter or divert me from it.
After deliberate examination, with the aid of the best lights I could obtain, I was well satisfied that our country, under all the circumstances of the case, had a right to take, and was bound in duty and interest to take, a neutral position. Having taken it, I determined, as far as should depend upon me, to maintain it, with moderation, perseverance, and firmness.
The considerations which respect the right to hold this con duct, it is not necessary on this occasion to detail. I will only observe that, according to my understanding of the matter, that right, so far from being denied by any of the belligerent powers, has been virtually admitted by all.
The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be inferred, without anything more, from the obligation which justice and humanity impose on every nation, in cases in which it is free to act, to maintain inviolate the relations of peace and amity towards other nations.
The inducements of interest for observing that conduct will best be referred to your own reflections and experience. With me a predominant motive has been to endeavor to gain time to our country to settle and mature its yet recent institutions, and to progress without interruption to that degree of strength and consistency which is necessary to give it, humanly speaking, the command of its own fortunes.
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.
Relying on its kindness in this as in other things, and actuated by that fervent love towards it, which is so natural to a man who views in it the native soil of himself and his progenitors for several generations, I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.
George Washington, 1796

The Jihad against Christianity

2009-03-30T17:39:00.000-07:00

The straw dog put forth by the leftist sadist loons is that, “abiding solely within their ranks” is compassion for minorities, the oppressed and disenfranchised. Though; this beguiles their absolute mission to simply prostitute these groups in a quest to abolish the religious underpinnings this country was founded upon. Karl Marx once said, “Religion is the opiate of the masses”. It has been the ardent ambition of liberal progressives to detoxify America of all religious, “opiates” and to remove the moral handrails of the huddled masses.

Prior to the Roe V. Wade decision of 1973 progressives denied a religious or political perspective postulation on the subject of abortion. Their claim, “at that time” was that abortion was a constitutional issue, not a social conundrum to be left to the sway of the electorate over its properly elected representatives. And; thanks to a legislative Supreme Court, a finding of a general right to privacy in the constitution, “where ones does not exist”, emanations of penumbras along with a complete adulteration of our binding document; the right to an abortion became the law of the land, “though not one citizen voted for it”.

Then; before the ink had dried on the courts opinion, lying leftists leapt into action, “belying their true aspiration” by reversing previous posits on post conception as a legal argument and diametrically bemused that the slaughter of the un-born, “AK.A. Choice” is Social-Political speech. Expanding that vein the Neo-Leftists concluded that religious organizations espousing anti-abortion sentiments need lose their tax exempt tax status for exhibiting political preference. This tact being akin to Jeffrey Dahmer first saying, “I only killed them to eat them” and then saying, “I only ate them because they were dead”.

To this very day, lawsuits are worming their way throughout our courts as the ACLU, “the tip of the lefts spear” challenges the tax exempt status of the Catholic church because of their anti-abortion stance. It was never about abortion to these heathen hedonists. It was always an attack on religion.

This isn’t a new phenomenon. The Nazi Socialists that encompass our enemies on the left have been on the attack against religion for at least a hundred years; whether it is their pursuit of Darwinism, removing the bible from our classrooms, public squares and courtrooms to nativity scenes, crosses and a devilish zeal to belittle religious moorings in our pop culture.

Latest in the Lilliputian Leftists quiver is the rear attack; “pardon the pun” for the establishment of gay marriage. Their quest to legitimize gay marriage has little to do with gay rights, gay marriage or ass-less chaps. Their intent, their desire, their holy grail is to standardize gay marriage as the norm, the law of the land and to regard those that might oppose it on a societal or religious foundation as fringe, bigoted homophobic rubes.

Then they will proffer that those groups, “and religions” that might oppose a duly constructed right, under the law, ought not to be granted a tax exempt status as, “their opines… opinions” are now beyond the law and violate the separation of church and state. By the way; there is no separation of church and state abiding within the text of our constitution…I’m just saying.

It's Time to Panic

2009-03-24T17:28:00.001-07:00

That tectonic tremble you felt yesterday was the nuclear option employed by the Federal Reserve in their latest attempt to save our economy. Not bloody likely mate! Here’s the funny part, at least from my QWERTY keyboard. According to my watch, Mickey’s big hand said we began a depression about ten minutes ago. So… welcome to it folks; the last one standing needs to turn the lights out.

Now I know there are those doubting Thomases’s out there who, “from behind their rose colored glasses” might point out the lack of food lines, tent cities, and Wall Street window jumpers. To that end grasshopper I would countenance patience; for it will come.

You see; what we’ve got here is a failure to communicate or to understand the most basic of economic principals. In November of 2008 this juggernaut to ruin might have been assuaged. Yet; it is far, far too late for that now.

The depression upon us doesn’t look like a depression; “yet” because the Fed keeps printing money and Treasury tax cheat Tim, “A.K.A. Eddie Haskell” keeps flooding insolvent banks with boatloads of money, hot off the presses.

Even China smells rat and has halted the buying of our debt; causing the Federal Reserve to monetize our ballooning deficit. In English that means; the treasury gives ink and paper to the Federal Reserve. Then, the minions of Ben Bernake use those supplies to print $trillions of dollars. Now…stay with me here; after the Fed dries these newly printed bills on huge clotheslines they bundle them up and ship them off to the treasury, ostensibly to purchase our expanding debt and keep Obama Inc. in business.

To date the Federal Reserve has added about $10 Trillion dollars to its balance sheet or to simplify; they are robbing Peter to pay Paul and as everyone knows that results in a sore Peter. Hey; you’d be mad too!

Still; that’s not the best part. Eddie Haskell, “A.K.A. Turbo Tax Tim” has unveiled his plan to remove the toxic assets on Wall Street. At the center of this scam is his, “public/private” partnership to purchase these assets and make the banking industry whole again. Timmy intends to, “loan” companies up to one $trillion dollars to purchase these dog derivatives, yet; here’s the best part. Companies do not have to pay the money back and if they ever show a profit in any future sale they get to keep it; if they sell these products at a loss, we’ll make it up. When I say we, I mean the taxpayer, “you and me folks”. All the while the Fed is printing currency at the speed of light.

As of today every household in America is indebted to China, the treasury, the Federal Reserve, Japan, India, Germany, and every banana republic on the planet for whopping $130,000.00 green backs. And; Obama keeps spending like he’s using other people’s money. Wait a minute…

Unmentioned by the Obamabots is our looming $65 trillion dollars in promised entitlements that, “when combined with our current spending spree” will make the 1930’s depression look like sunshine and lollipops.

When you think about it, “and I have” you realize that this couldn’t possibly be an accident; it just isn’t possible. In the face of the worst financial crisis to ever befoul the American economy, basket-ball Barry is adding red ink faster than we can manufacture it. $2 trillion dollars to destroy healthcare, $2 trillion dollars for cap and trade to fight non-existent global warming and $1.5 trillion dollars in expected costs to business when this idiot unionizes everyone from hookers to panhandlers. This can’t be accidental or explained as simple ancillary effects of social change. This foreign born radical is out to destroy this country.

A reminder; the great depression didn’t set upon this country after the crash of the stock market in 1929. Depressions are a lot like turtles, they are slow, but steady. They can take years to settle in. Though; when this one actually rears its head and the effects are dynamic throughout our economy remember this; Obama owns it, caused it and wanted it. I just hope those brain dead Obama voters are at the front of the soup kitchen line.

Beguiled or Simply Buffaloed?

2009-03-22T17:05:00.001-07:00

Beguiled or simply buffaloed; the liberal left has attached itself to one of thee most anti-American cabals ever foisted upon the electorate, “The ACLU”. For you would-be conservatives, “following along at home”, draw near and behold all that these presents.

John Adams wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”. What Madison realized was that a country founded upon a reverence to our creator could not stand without religious moorings.

As a true conservative I am a self described expert in the narrow field of how to argue with a liberal and win. What we conservatives understand is this; Conservatives argue ideology based upon facts. Liberals argue emotion. Today’s subject of dissertation will exhibit for all who can string syllabics into coherent thought just how the ACLU has set about to destroy Christianity and the American traditions enshrined in the founding of this country. A constant truism when arguing with a liberal is that the angrier a liberal gets, during a debate, the more he realizes his position has no merit. The liberal playbook; when they realize the argument/debate is lost is to pull out their trump card and accuse all who disagree with them of being racist, bigoted, biased, and sexist, filled with hate, homophobes or just plain idiot rubes. You see, liberals are convinced that they are the smartest people in the world and they are truly insulted when a mere conservative rube dares to proffer an opposing view. This is done to marginalize conservatives and remove them from the debate arena. Make no mistake, we conservatives will not allow ourselves to be marginalized. You can take that to your liberal bank.

I will now demonstrate beyond all certainty that the ACLU has declared war on Christianity and these forthcoming revelations are beyond reproach; after all, I do my homework.

The ACLU was founded by a Communist, with communist ideals, communist goals, and they continue to impose a Communist like agenda on America daily. The founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin stated clearly… “My chief aversion is the system of greed, private profit, privilege and violence which makes up the control of the world today, and which has brought it to the tragic crisis of unprecedented hunger and unemployment Therefore, I am for Socialism, disarmament and ultimately, for the abolishing of the State itself, I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”

This revelation on its face would be, “in all intellectual circles” game, set and match. Yet, draw near and prepare to be dazzled with this soon to be award winning composition, for in this endeavor, with talent on loan from Rush, I draw inspiration from the almighty and have only just begun.

Federal Judge Phyllis Hamilton, “a Clinton appointee” recently upheld a ruling requiring seventh-grade students to pretend they're Muslims, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Qur’an, pray to Allah and even to play "jihad games" in California public schools.

The ACLU has refused to comment on the ruling except to say they find, “nothing actionable”. Translation: the ACLU doesn’t have a problem with it. If California public schools were requiring students to memorize Bible verses the ACLU would have lawyers kicking down the school doors and would be all over local school boards like Rosie O’Donnell on a baked ham. You just know they would!

In 1989 the ACLU began a crusade to remove the Mount Soledad Cross located in the center of a Korean War Memorial in San Diego, California. The Cross was erected in 1954. While continuing a battle to have the Cross removed they have defended Muslims who have demanded, “Foot Basins” in airports, football stadiums and other public places. Foot Basins are used by Muslims in preparation for prayer. "Why are we constructing places of worship for them inside our airports?" said an airport official who requested anonymity. "Why are we catering to their rituals? We don't do it for any other religion." As Christians, let’s ask airport officials for a chapel and see how long it takes for the ACLU to come to our aid. Waiting……….waiting……..

While absolutely berating pharmacists, who, “because of religious convictions” have refused to sell “Levonelle”, commonly referred to as the morning after pill. The ACLU defends Muslim taxi drivers who have refused to carry passengers who have been drinking alcohol or possess alcohol. The ACLU has even gone as far as to defend the rights of Muslim taxi drivers to refuse to carry blind patrons who avail themselves of a Seeing Eye dog. The Islamic religion considers dogs unclean. If Timmy’s in the well does it matter if Lassie has had a bath? In a related case, it wasn’t a surprise when the ACLU came to the defense of Muslims employed at Target stores who refused to scan pork products. Mmmm Bacon!

At this point I imagine liberal foreheads to be throbbing and I know just how to push them over the edge. Abortion, utter the word and liberals go running for a soapbox. In 1973 the United States Supreme Court found a right to privacy in the constitution where one did not exist. Since then over 43 million abortions have been performed. Abortion angers conservatives on two fronts. We believe abortion to be immoral and an adulteration of our constitution.

The ACLU, “with a nod from the courts” has taken abortion out of the public debate, “or so they thought” and relegated this most important decision to nine justices and not to the people. Now, the ACLU is going after the tax exempt status of churches who dare speak out against abortion on moral grounds, calling such speech political. In 1987, the ACLU Foundation and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed an amicus brief in support of Abortion Rights Mobilization to secure standing in a suit challenging the tax exempt status of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was charged with violating its tax-exempt status by taking a stand against abortion. This is important and deserving of explanation. First the ACLU takes a pro-abortion stance and asks for judicial relief insomuch as abortion is a legal question to be removed from the political debate. After a Supreme Court affirmation of this argument the ACLU reverses itself and makes the wild claim that abortion is a political topic and those who would engage in the abortion debate are involved in political speech. That takes chutzpah folks.

The evidence is overwhelming and I could continue to list it for days. The ACLU is anti-Christianity and anti-American. There can be no other conclusion and those who would argue differently are either an order of French fries short of a happy meal of need to have their medications refilled.

Finally, yet by no means the last word, I give you hope, for often it is all we have other than our faith. We can engage with those that would call murder, “abortion”. For; if life does not begin at conception, when does it? And to quote a wise man, “A human birth is Gods way of saying the world should continue”. In that spirit we abide and continue this war until all human life is not only respected but revered.

I Love Ya Glenn... But...

2009-03-16T17:32:00.000-07:00

I just know I’m going to be beaten up for this but… here goes. I’m giving Glenn Beck a B- for his touted, “We surround them” Friday show. That’s right fellow conservatives… get ready to fire up those e-mails to take me down a peg, yet; before you do… here me out.

The criteria I used in this grading curve included Glenn’s lack of specific cures, “save visiting his website” and his Oprahesque delivery. Don’t misunderstand; I’m a big fan of Glenn’s and held out great expectations for him and this movement he inspired. Yet; if he intends to lead a movement he should do more than tell Americans to educate themselves and their children. We conservatives have done this, and will continue to do so. So; in effect, Glenn was preaching to the choir and converting no one.

One more thing; and this really frost’s my flakes… I am sick and tired of hearing it’s not about Republicans, Democrats, Liberals or Conservatives. Dammit Glenn it is. This country is under assault, daily, by liberals in government, the media and loony Lilliputian leftist’s organizations as far as the eye can see. They are out to destroy this country and nothing short of a complete defeat of these socialist squirrels is acceptable. And, by the way; in case you haven’t noticed, they are out to defeat conservatism at every turn.

Most disturbing was Glenn’s solution to a problem he failed to identify. That being education, that we should educate ourselves and our children. Presciently I posit the following profundity; WHY?

Why must we teach economics and the constitution to our children? Why must we explain the divine inspiration of our founding documents? Why must we entertain our children with such inspirational stories as George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware and defeat of the Hessians, or Jefferson’s struggle with Slavery, Ben Franklin’s view that poverty should be made uncomfortable, enumerated powers and the tenth amendment or the voluminous evidence of manifest destiny and divine providence? Aren’t we over paying our educational system to do so?

This is where the rubber meets the road folks and this is where we as individual conservatives can bind together and really make a difference.

Up until the mid 1930’s the bible was a staple of discussion and literature in our classrooms. It wasn’t until the mid 1950’s that civics in the classroom was replaced by health, “or sex Ed”. Simple economics is an anathema to modern education, though, it hasn’t always been so.

This is where we lost this battle… in our local schools. For if Milton Freidman, Thomas Sowell, Walter William’s economics were taught in our schools not one single Democrat need ever be elected again. Were the true history of our founding, “along with its inspired documents” relayed in the classroom, Democrats would be scarcer than the Yeti. And, had within our classrooms the Holy bible we would truly be what Adam’s and Washington had hoped for us to be, “A religious and moral people”.

This is where we can act… beginning in our local schools, by electing school board members from our very ranks. By ignoring mandates from a federal bureaucracy that has usurped local authority and the powers provided to them in articles 1, 2 and 3. By ignoring the separation of church and state as one does not exists. By disallowing the fiats of an out of control Supreme Court that has abrogated the intent of our constitution and set themselves above the will of the people. We take back our country by making a stand, in our community, in our backyard. From there we go to our city representation and our state districts. We groom those outstanding conservatives in our midst. We nominate them, we work for them and we remind them that they not only work for us, they are us. We expand to our federal representation as now ours is a true movement. We primary recalcitrant Republicans and replace them with we the people. We get off our collective asses and take this damn thing back for it is our birthright. We get behind Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal. We bleed for them; we pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor for them. Not for their cult of personality but for their love of country and sacrament of fidelity to our constitution.

It won’t be easy; but, then freedom never is. Yet; we tread in the footstep of those great men who looked to the heavens and seen within them the face of God, Our God, that shed his grace on thee. For we stand on the shoulders of our founders and this one truism lends more righteousness to our cause than any observed by those that would see this country enslaved by the shackled of Socialism. His will be done.

The News of the Day

2009-03-09T18:46:00.001-07:00

On Monday, Premiere Obama issued an executive order unionizing the Adult Entertainment industry along with street prostitutes, pimps and escorts. The Premier’s order would immediately provide federal insurance, overtime pay and benefits to all Adult workers. The plan is tentatively named the Spitzer act. After being notified, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, “OSHA” provided the new safety guidelines to be observed by all Adult service providers.
Safety work rules would require Adult service providers to wear safety harnesses, eye and ear protection, hard hats and safety boots.
The Environmental Protection Agency, “EPA” would be responsible for all hazardous waste removal and cleanup.
The Department of Labor would oversee mandatory breaks, lunch periods, holiday pay and discount rates for congressmen.

In related news; Premiere Obama announced the government schedule of mandatory services. On Wednesdays and Thursdays governmental offices will distribute Bologna and white bread as available. Currently, no foodstuffs are available; however, condoms and birth control pills are plentiful and will be dispersed at all grade schools. Participation is mandatory!

The Supreme commander also announced his administrations policy of tattooing all conservatives for future identification. He warned the media not to make too much of this policy and that these identifiers would only be used for national security. Administration officials are adamant that the rumors of gas chambers being built are false and the disappearances of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter are merely coincidental.

In lighter news; the exalted Supreme Premiere Obama reversed his abortion fiat and will now allow abortions on infants and children up to the age of ten. Making his decision retroactive, his majesty pardoned Andrea Yates, the Texas mother who drowned her five children. An Obama spokesperson pointed out that none of the drowned children were over ten and thus no current law was broken.

Finally; the investigation into the bombing of Fox News has been completed by Der Fuehrer Barrack’s justice department. The completed report suggests rats ate threw an electrical wire, causing a spark which ignited Glenn Beck’s hair spray. Beck, in a panic, raced to a freshly painted stairwell, spreading the blaze to several floors. As the flames raced throughout the building, Geraldo Rivera’s hair exploded and Bill O’Reilly’s body spontaneously combusted. The resulting explosion left a crater the size of Connecticut where the former NewsCorp building once stood. The witnesses who testified that Rahm Emanuel was seen running from the burning building were discredited and tattooed.

God Bless America

2009-02-25T19:04:00.001-08:00

It’s easy to be dragged into the muck and mire of political discourse. After all; we each have our political leanings and predilections. Much of our leanings are based upon upbringing, education and perspective. Glaringly absent in our poly-sci extrapolations are the documents attributable to our founding and the intentions of the men who penned those documents. Even if such considerations are given we, “the electorate” struggle with the intent of the founding words and look for hidden meanings. Simple folly; when apprised of the reams of historical writings that define their intent and the role of the federal government as truly defined within the text of our constitution.

A simple reading of the first three articles of our constitution would forever cease the chattering class and end all debate as to such straw dogs as nationalized healthcare, stimulus plans, the Federal Reserve, Medicare, Medicaid, and other such nonsense.

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison being duly elected President and both have the “distinct honor” of penning our constitution vetoed spending bills that would have taken federal monies for the Erie Canal. Jefferson said, “Enumerated powers require the federal government to promote the general welfare; not to provide for it”. These men knew the intent of our constitution; they authored it. They abided within that text that the federal government had only three separate and limited powers delegated to it; that being to provide for a common defense, negotiate international treaties and settle disputes between the “various” states within the realm of interstate commerce.

I find it unseemly and disgraceful that men; elected to our federal bureaucracy, would stand on that hallowed ground in Washington, a city burned to the ground in 1812, and denigrate those men that pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to found a country; A country born of divine providence and dedicated to personal freedoms, love of country and love of God.

And yet; we see these modern day Benedict Arnolds adulterate what so many of our patriot forefathers fought and died for. That being; limited government and personal responsibility.
Take pause; and humor me for just a bit… for I doubt this edification has been visited upon you. And; bear with me, as we revisit those men; those brave men… who borne a country. Let’s begin with our constitution and go forth unencumbered by such modern day distortions and biases.
Governor Morris of Pennsylvania was put in charge of the committee to draft the final copy of the Constitution. Other men who had much to do with writing the Constitution included John Dickinson, Edmund Randolph, Roger Sherman, James Wilson, and George Wythe.” Why they don’t matter? These men, “though competent” were scribes, merely 18th century Dictaphones. The more apt question, in my mind is, “who authored our constitution?”

How many high school graduates could answer that question? How many of you can? If you don’t know, you will soon, I’ll tell you. Before I do there are other, equally important things you should know.

Thomas Jefferson is widely credited with authoring the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson was asked to write the declaration article in early June, 1776 and finished it in less than three weeks. Jefferson, along with 54 compatriots on a very hot day in July affixed their signatures to the document. It is widely known that Jefferson had an account at the tavern across the street from the Graff House, “Declaration Hall” an account that grew to some size even with Jefferson’s means. As Jefferson was a man endowed with a great moral character this tidbit in insightful. Jefferson knew that by authoring this document he was daring the British to hang him. Had they caught him they surely would have.

Thomas Jefferson finished his document and it was signed by the delegates on July 3, 1776. Don’t send me mail you history buffs. The signing was on the 3rd, it was printed on the 4th.
Jefferson and the signers declared that we should be a sovereign country. George Washington made it happen.
Born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman. He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him.

When the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia in May 1775, Washington, one of the Virginia delegates, was elected Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. On July 3, 1775, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, he took command of his ill-trained troops and embarked upon a war that was to last six grueling years.

Washington had not the best temperament as a commander. He routinely ordered the whipping of troops in his command for insubordination and other infractions of military decorum. He was a hard man. What isn’t widely known is that Washington personally financed, “to the extent possible” much of the expenses incurred by the continental army. Washington suffered many a demoralizing defeat at the hands of the British and caused Thomas Paine, “the Rush Limbaugh of his time” to write, "These are the times that try men's souls." The deciding battle came as Washington crossed the Delaware to surprise the Hessians. It was a bold act and energized the continental army and our country. The rest is history.

George Washington secured our sovereignty yet not our freedom from government. Our constitution did so, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The Virginian version of our constitution was authored by James Madison whom later became our fourth president and commander in chief during the war of 1812. Madison worked most directly with Thomas Jefferson; Thomas Paine and John Adams in the construction of our constitution as we know it.
Our constitution was created with the declaration in mind, that we are endowed by our creator. In literary form it is practically without fault; an inspired document.

All of this historical documentation leads me to ask a question, a pertinent one. Were it possible to know, what would the framers and those that fought for this countries sovereignty and freedoms think; if they could witness the functioning state of the country they borne?

Our framers envisioned a country whereupon rugged individualism and personal freedoms made us distinctly dissimilar and exceptional. In the Federalist paper # 39 James Madison describes the difference between Federalism and nationalism. He noted, “That it will be a federal and not a national act, as these terms are understood by the objectors; the act of the people, as forming so many independent States, not as forming one aggregate nation, is obvious from this single consideration, that it is to result neither from the decision of a MAJORITY of the people of the Union, nor from that of a MAJORITY of the States. It must result from the UNANIMOUS assent of the several States that are parties to it, differing no otherwise from their ordinary assent than in its being expressed, not by the legislative authority, but by that of the people themselves. Were the people regarded in this transaction as forming one nation, the will of the majority of the whole people of the United States would bind the minority, in the same manner as the majority in each State must bind the minority; and the will of the majority must be determined either by a comparison of the individual votes, or by considering the will of the majority of the States as evidence of the will of a majority of the people of the United States. Neither of these rules has been adopted. Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution.”
What Madison so eloquently put forth is that we can all rally around a national flag yet; the power of our government must remain with the states.

My favorite amendment is the tenth. Wherein; “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.” Sadly, the tenth amendment has been adulterated by the commerce clause with attribution to the Supreme Court.

I’ll admit conscribing a return address that reads, “Illinois” is a hard sell wherein I conjoin with the 10th. Yet imagine this; our federal government is restricted to abiding by the constitution and the real legislative power belongs to the states as written by our framers. The results are states that actually have to compete for residents. If the tax burden in state X is too high you could move to state Y. If the job opportunities are greater in state X then state Y is apt to model its census in negative terms. As is; in a national form of government, “never intended by our founders” there is no escape.

I ask you again; what would our framers say?
George Washington served two terms as President and the country wanted to make him King. Though Mount Vernon lay in ruins Washington never drew a salary as president saying, “It is unseemly.” He retired from political life and died just three years later from throat cancer.
James Madison also died shortly after leaving office. “In a note opened after his death in 1836, he stated, "The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my convictions is that the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated."

What would they think? …Really, ask yourself. Is the form and substance of government we are today compelled to abide with the imaginings of those great men upon whose dreams for greatness we were founded. Ask yourself, and then ask those who have adulterated and obliterated the documents upon which we were founded. God Bless the framers and our elected officials we must currently abide should be ashamed and should ask themselves what I asked. What would the framers think?

Democrats Own This Economy!

2009-02-16T18:31:00.001-08:00

In a strange way it’s somewhat amusing to watch Democrats and idiots, “terms not mutually exclusive” as they endeavor to rewrite history. It’s as if they have to, somehow, pin this financial tail, “and tale” on George Bush’s donkey or risk mental imbalance and a shift in the earths rotation.

I heard as much from a local, raving, idiot just this Monday morning. WMAY’s resident rabble rouser railed resoundingly about the financial meltdown and concluded in his usual pompous profundity that all of this countries fiduciary folly was foisted upon its populace by that rascally wabbit George Bush.

Since the bar on political commentary has been so lowered I feel more than qualified to respond and set the record straight; once and for all. Pencils down; eyes front.

There was a congealing of several policies that brought about financial ruin, from Wall Street to Main Street. First was the, “Community Reinvestment Act” of 1977. This was Jimmy Carter’s attempt at social engineering and home ownership for deadbeats. Fortunately; Carter was too busy destroying the economy and trying on sweaters to implement much beyond gas lines, the misery index and lusting in his heart.

Thankfully, Jimbo was a one term wonder so let’s never speak of him again. For the next twelve years the sky was blue, the birds sang and all was well with the world. Reagan, as did Kennedy, cut taxes and grew the economy while increasing revenues to the government. Life was good.

Enter Arkansas huckster Bill Clinton. Bill, “the stainer” let Janet Reno off her lease, dusted off Carter’s dusty act and went after the banks with a vengeance. With help from their willing thugs at, “ACORN” Clinton Inc. sued, threatened and cajoled lending institutions into giving home mortgages to drifters, derelicts and drug addicts; not to mention the all important illegal alien demographic, introducing into the American lexicon a shiny new term; “Sub-prime Loans”. Every hamburger flipper, busboy, shelf stocker and illegal with a pulse now qualified for a sub-prime loan and as many as 5 million illegal aliens took advantage of it in spades.

Two liberal bastions of refuge made this unholy lending possible; the evil twins that are Fannie and Freddie, along with the Federal Reserve, which, is in no way federal.
Lesson; cheap money will always find a home. As the Fed lowered interest rates to 1% in 2001, Freddie and Fannie ramped up the sub-prime market into high gear. Pets and livestock were getting loans for homes they would never be able to afford, not to mention every employee of the golden arches.
To facilitate even greater abuses, the evil twins began selling mortgage backed securities; financial paper whose worth was based on the illiquid assets of their diabolical deeds, pun intended.

Enter Wall Street; one of the greatest myths perpetrated upon the great unwashed is that those carnivorous Wall Street executives are dyed in the wool Conservatives who run over puppies and eat babies. Check their donors list, “I have” you’ll find a lot more “D’s” than you will “R’s”. Sorry to bust you’re bubble.
That’s right; and whodathunkit? Those corporate giants of wealth and mirth are liberals. And yes; they played a supporting role in the monetary debauchery. Hedge fund managers and investment banks bought perfidious paper from Freddie and Fannie, bundled it with other such deceitful instruments of mortgage backed bull; applied an algorithm wherein a computation of 6% growth was extrapolated into infinity, scammed those good folks at Moody’s and the S&P into granting a AAA rating, then sent the Armanti suits out to sell these, “AAA” rated bundles to the world.

Unfortunately; extra white teeth and Armanti suits spread like the plague and all was well until 2006; when the traditional growth in housing resumed to 1.5% annually.
It was then that these monetary paper products began to lose their luster. After all; 6% was simply a bubble produced by Freddie, Fannie, Wall Street, Armanti suits, the Fed and Barney Frank, “A.K.A. the banking queen”.
On that subject, lest we forget; it was George Bush who came to congress, “no less than twelve times” to ask for more strident restrictions on Freddie and Fannie. It was the Republicans who brought the insolvency of those twins to the attention of congress. By the way; just for the record, this “Republicans controlled congress” argument is a straw dog. The right never had the sixty votes necessary to conjoin the senate to any house resolution.
In 2007, when home prices actually fell, “think balloon popping” this house of cards came tumbling down.
The most common denominator in this fiasco is housing. And; when you think housing, think Democrat. It’s just that simple. Really, it is indisputable. The congressional tapes of the banking committee are on YouTube. When regulators warned Democrats of the impending doom at Fannie and Freddie the house Democrats attacked the regulators. There is no ambiguity. There is no wiggle room. Democrats own this meltdown and trust me; they will go to hell for it.

Bailouts for Dummies and Democrats

2009-02-11T19:27:00.000-08:00

Democrats are running around like Richard Simmons on Crack and I think I know why.

Let me guess; this entire financial crisis, “meltdown talk” has you more confused than Barack Obama trying to his balance his checkbook? I thought so. Terms like the Libor rate, securitization, liquidity and fiscal stimulus leaves you feeling just plain stupid. So; you ask, am I that friggin stupid? Well, yes, yes you are. Your first clue should have been that short bus your parents put you on as they stood on the curb and waved like monkeys as some nurse ratchet strapped a helmet on your big ole water head. But hey; that’s all in the past… your past. Anyway, water head, that’s why I’m here. To convert the simple into bite sized nuggets of special Ed. Just for you Skippy!

The Libor is the rate of interest banks charge each other; if they loaned to each other. Since they don’t, and probably never will again; let’s just… never mind, doesn’t matter. Now; this is important so pencils down; all eyes on me. Oh; and set up straight, after all, humpbacks and water heads can only get work in Romanian towers atop gargoyles. So… posture matters. Anyway, the “fiscal stimulus” you’ve been seeing on television, “between Jefferson re-runs”. Actually it’s not that difficult. Think of it this way; Barney Frank spent too much time sidling Freddie’s Fannie and this made your $100,000.00 house worth about what a “happy meal” costs. Which; when you think about it, is kind of ironic considering you have to be up at 4:00 A.M. to start making happy meals. By the way; “Ironic” means it’s a hoot for everyone but you. Makes you wish you’d paid more attention in math class instead of drooling over Sally with the braces and jumbo ears.

Okay; now your, “happy meal” house is mortgaged to the hilt and because of the downturn in the economy there’s no overtime for you at those golden arches. And; you’re too damn lazy to pickup cans and too stupid to rob banks. What’s a liberal idiot to do? Well; you may have an out that doesn’t get you off the couch or cause you to miss “Weezzie” giving George what for. That is if you were lucky enough to finance your house with either Citigroup or Bank of America. Because; if you did, if you pinned your tail on either of those donkeys, then guess what Billy Joe Bob? This is your lucky day! Go ahead and crack open another Falstaff, kick your dog and kiss your cousin cause you just got luckier than an adopted kitty outside a Korean restaurant.

Why? I’ll tell you why, because they are insolvent. Our benevolent government, “benevolent is what your sister is when she lets you sleep one off, on her back porch” whipped out the federal credit card and bought both banks for ten times what they are worth. And, now, between them, they couldn’t finance fifteen minutes with the Spitzer girl if they both had a buy one get one free coupon.

I’m sorry; I just realized that you’ve probably stopped scratching your ass and now have your, “butt hand” scratching your head, wondering; just what the hell is, “insolvent”? Let me explain it this way… remember when you spent your whole paycheck at the jingly bar, “one dollar at a time” and couldn’t pay the rent on your double wide? You had to sleep in your truck and dumpster dive for dried cheese, off pizza boxes. You were insolvent! Now… solvent is what you drink when you’re out of beer money.

Here’s what you need to know. As an uneducated, democrat rube, you have all the qualifications for stimulus. And; I don’t mean what happens to you when your 250 lb. cousin bends over in front of you. Obama has a promise for you. He won’t rest until he finds a productive citizen to take from so your lazy ass can continue producing offspring with buck teeth and rickets. Hellavu country isn’t it?

From our Founders to Obama

2009-02-07T05:59:00.001-08:00

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury, “Think Barry’s BBQ ribs in every pot and home ownership for deadbeats”. “The result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy is always followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two-hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependence back again into bondage.”
—Alexander Fraser Tyler, 1700 Quotation found in SYNERGY Server [Note: The Professor wrote about the fall of the Athenian republic over a thousand years ago this when America was a British colony.]

I begin this most prescient posit quoting Professor Tyler primarily for his profound ability to stand askance as to the execution of government when the enumerated powers loaned to the federal government are ignored and/or adulterated. Thomas Paine, “the Rush Limbaugh of his time” said, “Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one”. This is the state of governance we are compelled to tolerate and endure.

“[T]he government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.” — James Madison, {general author of our constitution}

“A wise and frugal government … shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.” — Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801

These quotes from our founders; “whom I believe were rooted in divine inspiration” have been totally filed under, “I” for irrelevant and looked upon by our present day congress and the executive branch as merely a super sized roll of Charmin® three ply in the same men’s room formerly occupied by the toe tapping, wide stance Senator from Idaho; A.K.A Larry, “men seeking men” Craigslist.

When James Madison said that the text of our constitution specifically states that no where in that document was there a codicil or even the intent that our federal government has purview over the distribution of charity; Or taking income from those engaged in productivity and transferring it to baby machines and winos whose preference is to suckle at the teat of earners.

After all; it was James Madison who actually wrote the constitution with the help of Thomas Paine; thus answering once and for all the intent of this sacred parchment.

“To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” — Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816

Abraham Lincoln, “the object of Barry’s man crush” also had thoughts about spreading the wealth, though his thoughts were diametrically opposed to the temporary lease holder of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties”.-President Abraham Lincoln.

As the ratings for the Obama sitcom dwarf those of American Idol; thanks in large part to the Presidents decisions to close club Gitmo and relocate its clients to a halfway house in Crawford Texas, while rescinding the water sports portion of their daily entertainment and limiting the questioning of these misunderstood, peaceful reformers, “ who accidentally go BOOM” on occasion to, “ how can we make you more comfortable” or “ would you like President Obama to sign your Koran” ? We the people are treated to an administration most reminiscent of a three stooges re-run…Nyuk, Nyuk!

Meanwhile; back at the White House, “where the black guy lives”, Obama spends most of his time rating female interns from 1-10 yet, has found time to jimmy the government cash register and pilfer $1 gazillion greenbacks to finance Ass Chaps on Rabid Nuts, or “ACORN”. Abortions for European cheerleaders, their mothers, unwed sheep and that mother in California that just gave birth to eight children; now possessing a football team, complete with backups.

And; as Obama plays Santa Clause for every mega-liberal wet dream, he intends to pay for this shopping spree by placing his picture on the dollar bill and stenciling in twelve zeros next to the $1. That and combining his fight against obesity by taxing Americans by the pound, sending jackbooted IRS thugs out to literally make change by hoisting citizens by their ankles and shaking them; dislodging the change from their pockets, appointing Bernie Made-off as confiscator of wealth from the wealthy, changing the mission of the peace corps to picking up aluminum cans, unionizing the homeless, taxing sex by the inch, “Democrats would be allowed to estimate” taxing children’s allowances and playing the lottery. I’m reminded of the words of very wise men and thier thoughts on taxes.
“I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”
—Winston Churchill

“I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity. [To approve such spending] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”
—President Franklin Pierce (1854)

“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built”.- Abraham Lincoln

So why the historical perspective, why the history of those great men who not only conceived this document, “our constitution” a document we conservatives consider to be divinely inspired and sacrosanct; A document that these great men pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, under the penalty of death? Why? Because my friends it is being dismantled, one section at a time, under our very noses.

Sadly; we have become a politically correct, Oprah watching, spoiled, fat, sassy, entitled, lazy, sappy, microwaveable, remote control, blasphemous, fast food, Hollywood worshiping, selfish, non-voting, politically illiterate, government dependent, credit card, sub-prime, ignorant sheep. Quick; what is enumerated in our tenth amendment? What are the names of all nine Supreme Court justices?

These questions were put to a cross section of college seniors with predictable results. Less than 10% could name even five justices, less than 1% could paraphrase our tenth amendment. None of the participants could give even a basic explanation of economics.

Perhaps it’s just my conspiracy, black helicopter, and grassy knoll, nature that believes this is but coincidental and arbitrary. Though, After all; were our founding documents ingrained into our young skulls full of mush, along with a basic understanding of economic principals; the democrat party would be extinct and exhibits of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, ET. Al., would be featured in the Smithsonian next to the Neanderthals.

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power”.- Thomas Jefferson

The Rhetorical dagger I most often use when skewering you Lilliputian, liberal, bootlicking lackey loons from the left as I Lionize conservatives and belittle the salmonella tainted, peanut size frontal lobes possessed by you water head, short buss, Forrest Gump’s, Is simply common sense combined with my inherent, unequaled, unqualified brilliance.

Even with your diminished liberal mental faculties; I have but one question for you special ED, Special Olympics flunkies. And; it is this. Even taken for granted that the majority of you lack of the gray matter to form a coherent thought, tie your shoes or chew gum at the same time you must accept the gold standard of substantive recumbentibus pertinent thelemic freedoms that we are indeed endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights that do not come from government; but no, our rights are God given and simply loaned to government as a temporary note.
Meaning; what government hasn’t the authority so enumerated to that body in the text of the constitution, they have not the authority to exercise. There is no federal, constitutional, powers which would allow government to empower the treasury secretary to allocate funds, to collect earnings from one taxpayer and deliver them to a slacker, to regulate states exploration of energy, to bailout anyone or anything, to fund abortion, to set, “CAFÉ” standards, to fund education, to apply federal taxes to any goods or services, to regulate anything that does not involve a commercial dispute between the states, or the thousands of duties our federal government has taken upon itself.
Our constitution is clear and unambiguous. The federal government is charged with three and only three duties and is limited by the tenth amendment from straying into other legislative arenas. Those authorities are; to provide for a common defense, to negotiate international treaties and to settle disputes between the several states, only in the context of interstate commerce. All other governing responsibilities reside with the states.
These weren’t simply suggestions postulated by those great men whom born this country by sacrificing blood and treasure. No; our founders actually put quill to parchment and specifically enumerated those edicts as governing principals to be adhered to. And; lest there be any doubt they also affixed their John Hancock’s to their document and swore an oath to protect and defend the principals within the text. By the way; this is the same oath taken by our President and congressional representatives.
Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s time for those elected, spoiled, greedy corrupt bastards and bitches who have made a career out of screwing the people they are supposed to be working for, just maybe they should dust off the constitution and give it a look see. For those career politicians with the courage to do so I would expect a speedy resignation. For the document they swore to protect and defend, they have adulterated and defiled.

GOD BLESS KENTUCKY

2009-02-02T18:18:00.000-08:00

To watch the mainstream media, “from our Illinois perspective” one might conclude that Kentucky is merely struggling a bit amidst a winter wonderland of sunshine and lollipops. Having visited the bluegrass state over the weekend I can attest to the complete disaster visited upon them a full week ago.

Kentucky was victimized last Monday by an ice storm, “3 inches” that effectively shut the state down. To date; there remains gas lines, food shortages, water outages and almost 300,000 households without electricity. Kentucky’s Governor, Steve Beshear, Democrat, has been quick to complain about everything except the federal response.

Yet, the residents we spoke to railed against FEMA and the federal response in general. Megan Gore, of the Paducah area noted that as soon as FEMA showed up, the gas and kerosene dried up. Electric generators ceased to exist, electronic purchases halted and even the local WAL-MART had to have security usher twenty-five shoppers in at a time, to a store without power.

Here in Springfield we confirmed that only one store had generators in stock and their supply was dwindling to three units. We were told that every generator was headed to Kentucky. And; they weren’t being purchased by FEMA.

It’s little wonder that the freshly minted Obama administration hasn’t broken a sweat for a state he lost by twenty points and it’s even less of a surprise that the Democrat Governor hasn’t taken the leader of his party to task for his inaction. After all; there’s infrastructure money for the states to be had and it’s a safe bet Governor Beshear doesn’t want to lose his place in line.

Still, as of today, at least twenty deaths are attributed to the after effects of the storm, Many due to ill vented kerosene heaters and hypothermia. But, as residents in Graves and McCracken counties told us; wait until they go door to door.

Much of Kentucky is rural and elderly. Many of these people have been living without electricity, water, food or heat for more than a week. They expect the death toll to go much higher.

All the while Governor Beshear puts lipstick on this pig; as people die. What we want to know is this; Where are the Charlie Gibson’s, the Katie Couric’s, the Shepard Smith’s crying on the overpass asking where are the FEDS? Where is Obama’s FEMA and where’s Obama?

The only positive in this story are the people of Kentucky themselves. Antidotal as our observations were, we suspect what we noticed is in fact statewide. Nobody was waiting for FEMA and it’s a good thing. We saw people with chainsaws, neighbors helping each other and a grit unseen in New Orleans. We saw Americans; we saw what founded this country and made it into what it is today. We saw spirit and guts. We saw.

Obama's Stimulus Plan

2009-01-28T18:46:00.000-08:00

Here at Conservative Springfield we work day and night, night and day, to bring you the news that you can’t get anywhere else. Well… actually… we only work about fifteen minutes, in the afternoon, between naps. Still…we’re all over this Obama stimulus plan. Like stink on a monkey… Oprah on a baked ham… or venereal warts on Barney Frank. We’ve studied this plan for a full seven minutes and have discovered expenditures no one in the media is covering. And, as usual, we blab it to everyone who will listen. Maybe that’s why no one shares secrets with us anymore. Anyway; here they are… directly from the pages of the Obama stimulus plan. By the way; were I you… I wouldn’t read this sober. Doing so might cause blood to shoot from your eyes.

1.The Adult infrastructure regeneration act. Every year at least two strippers are injured due to aging stripper poles. This act would commit $236 million dollars for pole replacement and Brasso® metal polish.

2.The un-documented worker relocation act. This act would provide $465 million dollars for transportation of un-documented workers in Mexico to destinations within the United States.

3.The Wal-Mart act. This bill would provide $65 billion dollars to train, house and equip medical providers at every Wal-Mart super center for the purpose of providing abortions at every check-out counter.

4.The Feline procurement act. This act would provide $709 million dollars for the purchase of cats for seniors.

5.The female Senator Effacement act. This bill would provide $45 million dollars for use by female Senators for Botox injections and make-up. Senators Feinstein, Boxer and Kerry would be the recipients. Congressman Nancy Pelosi shall be grandfathered in.

6.The Pharmaceutical re-investment act. This bill would provide $491 million dollars to cash strapped drug dealers from the hood.

7.The Arts act. This would infuse $37 billion dollars into our sagging pornography industry.

8.The Single mother stress act. This bill would provide $23 billion dollars for the purchase of batteries for single mothers.

9.The reparations act. This bill would provide $294 billion dollars to minorities as reparations for what, “whitey” did.

10.The C.A.R.T. act. This bill would provide $435 million dollars for shopping carts for the homeless.

11.The Basketball Jones act. This bill would provide $112 billion dollars to build every minority their own, personal basketball court…complete with Jumbotron.

12.The Oprah act. Through transfer payments this bill would allow the federal government to, “lend” Oprah $50 billion dollars at zero interest for 300 years.

13.The Red States act. This act would allow Oprah to sell all of the red states to Mexico. Our cost? No Habla Espanola.

14.The Persian rug act. This bill, sponsored by C.A.I.R, would allot $156 billion dollars for Iran to stop their nuclear program, or… at least hide it better until they are ready to blow Israel off the map.

15.The latex defense act. This bill would provide $945 million dollars to purchase condoms for Republicans. And; $421 million dollars to provide enforcement and sizing.

16.The Fruit Loop act. This bill earmarks $198 million dollars in funding to place birth control pills in children’s cereal.

17.The Facebook act. This bill provides $451 million dollars in funding for children born without faces and helper monkeys.

18.The No-good, lazy, good for nothing, drain on society act. This bill provides $219 billion dollars in funding for lazy people who don’t want to work.

19.The baby bonus act. The Presidents personal favorite. This bill provides unlimited funding for poverty stricken, single mothers who just keep popping out baby after baby; much like a puppy mill.

20.The Wheel of Fortune act. Obama spun the wheel and, guess what? The United Nations number came up! This bill provides $2 TRILLION dollars annually to the U.N. as a down payment, to the world, for America’s transgressions and wrong deeds. Along with the check, Mr. Obama plans to bend over and grab the ankles. That should make the world love us again.

The Cult of Obama

2009-01-19T17:31:00.001-08:00

Odd isn’t it; that a man whose most profound utterance to date, “off teleprompter” has been, “Where’s the white women Joe”? That this man; who has the experience of a city councilman, holds the dreams and aspirations of so many. For the life of me, I just don’t get it. When did we as a country look to government to supply our wants and needs? More importantly; when did we attach so much control, over our daily lives, to one man?

This country was founded on fierce individualism, self reliance and freedom from government. On the simple truism that, a citizen can achieve as much in this country as their ambition, aptitude and ability will carry them, On the principals of limited federal government, with great emphasis on morality and religion, a country in which government didn’t restrict success or punish it, nor accept failure or reward it.

Now; on the day of this coronation we are promised a government that will be all things to all people, a government that will wrest control of all things economic, blunting free market capitalism, A government in total ignorance of our founding documents or the divine inspiration behind them, a government whose intent is not to remove the roadblocks of regulation and compliance upon entrepreneurial American but instead to place potholes between barriers and to then add more barriers.

Begging the question; when did America proper go from Daniel Boone to Paris Hilton as role models? When did we slue from Thomas Jefferson’s character to Oprah’s couch? We’ve become a nation of purse carrying, gum smacking, television watching passengers; while, an ever decreasing minority of us are pulling the wagon you lazy bastards are riding in.

What’s even more indescribable to the author is this; a majority of voters elected a man promising more government to an audience ambivalent to government. Most of us know government and have come to despise it. It is corrupt, bloated an ineffective. I mean, really, riddle me this; what does government do well? By the way; Graft doesn’t count!

Well boys and girls; you get what you pay for. And; for those of you who have bought into this cult of personality over anything of substance, your will, will be tested. For, you have joined this cult and hastened to its pied-piper. You have fallen in line behind this anti-Bush premise postulator promising sunshine and lollipops. Yet, here’s the catch. When you no longer have Bush to blame, when Obama, “the chosen one” fails to assuage your suffering, when those clouds on your horizon fail to behold a silver lining; what will you do? Whom will you blame? When it hits you; four squares between the eyes, that your life is the responsibility of only you. Personally that’s the day I’m buying rope futures. Because, that’s the day a lot of you Obama Jesuits kick the chair from beneath you and take the final swing. Happy trails cultists.

Gone Fishin'

2009-01-13T17:40:00.001-08:00

This just pisses me off. Have you heard the latest from our, “friends” in Europe? Since the economic meltdown these ungrateful European bastards have decided that American capitalism simply doesn’t work. As an adjunct to their postulation they posit presciently that perhaps another world currency, “other than the American dollar” is needed. A new world currency, if you will.

Let me be the first to opine in this regard; Europe can kiss my white American ass, both cheeks. I mean; I get Spain, they bent over and grabbed the ankles a long time ago. Those spaghetti, meatball eating swarthy wanna-be Sopranos’ raised the white flag soon after the Madrid bombings while setting a new Guinness world record for surrendering; Replacing the French who had long held the all time record for surrender. Quite a feat when you consider that the French constitution requires all its’ citizens to wear white underwear, “just in case they have to surrender on the spot”. Way to go Spain, you’re number one!

And; what about the French? French president Nicolas Sarkozy slipped right under our radar by pretending to be a conservative. All the while he was just the frog in need of gigging. The French are probably the worst of these back-stabbers. Really; think about it, all we’ve ever wanted from the French are those French maids; you know the ones…in the little maid outfit, sporting a feather duster and a wry smile. Well, maybe champagne too. Other than these two redeeming qualities just what in the Sam Hill do they contribute to society as a whole? I’ve got my hand up because I know the answer. Not one damn thing! Other than hairy armpits, surly attitudes and let’s not forget the hygiene. Wait; forget the hygiene!
Since Obama will never take these impudent, inbred philistines to task; I say we tourists do it. Next time you’re in France just loudly proclaim, “Hey, I love your cuisine, what say I meet you downtown later with a box of wine and some French fries”? Or, “How bout that freedom you enjoy, it only costs us 600,000 Americans, so hey, you’ve got the freedom to smell like a dirty diaper on a wet goat! Or; thanks for the statue, too bad it turned green!
While you beret wearing, Jean Claude’s have been actively changing your national motto from, “let them eat cake” to “Viva La Surrender” we have been leading the world in every form of human endeavor; you parasites have suckled at our teat and enjoyed our protection while staring down your snooty, unwashed noses at us.
The British are no better. After all; it was the British who first gave us the definition of Virgin Wool; that’s right... ugly sheep. For these snaggle-teeth, tea sipping popinjays to ever behold the audacity to question the United States about anything is laughable. This from a country which has spent the last fifty years giving away an empire. By the way; there was that, “we saved their ass from Uncle Adolph” thing, I’m just saying.
And finally; those Kraut eating, lederhosen wearing, Aryan asses, the Germans. This from a country that actually took pride in defeating the French, “like that had never been done before”. The country most responsible for the creation of an Israeli state; giving a country to the very people they tried to annihilate! And, best of all, the only country on the planet to elect a man with half a mustache.
I’ve had it with these one horse countries, these banana republics, “with snow”, telling us how to run a railroad. We are the United Fricken States of America, by God. We created meat on a stick, the hamburger, the atomic bomb, I Dream of Jeannie. We discovered oil, invented internet porn, beat the hell out of the Indians, invented air conditioning and Football. We are the fattest people on the planet and damn proud of it. We waste more than these pissants’ consume. We are number one in every field of human endeavor. In Short; We Rock!
So; listen up you ungrateful Europeans. Sooner or later you’ll produce another Hitler, another Mussolini. And; guess what? We’ll have a sign hanging off that crappy, green statue that reads; “Gone Fishin”. I’m just saying…

Back Off Obama and Bugaboos

2009-01-08T18:58:00.001-08:00

Look, this isn’t funny anymore. This pissant Obama is threatening to throw gas on the financial firestorm created by his own party and we’re supposed to bend over and grab the ankles. This joke has gone far enough. And; while Barry is doling out $trillion dollar deficits you Obamalites are rocking back and forth, hands in the air, singing hallelujah. Not even you liberal lackey leftists can be this dumb. It’s just not humanly possible. We’re going to spend our way out of a recession? Not bloody likely mate! That’s a lot like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. Folks, we’ve been here before; beginning in 1933. Frankie D. applied the same strategy and turned a recession into a depression. Why do you think we’re the only country on the planet to call it, “The Great Depression”? Because my friends, we were the only country on the planet to suffer it for 12 years.

This is serious stuff folks. I realize you Obama zombies feel good about yourselves and have assuaged your guilt by voting for the black guy. I get it and hey; whatever rocks your rocker. But we’re talking survival and good intentioned hope and change just won’t get it done.

This isn’t complicated. If Obama gets his way he’ll spend one $trillion dollars on make work programs. There is only two, count em’, two ways to finance this. Either take it out of the American economy by taxation or print money. If this bozo increases marginal tax rates to increase revenues to the treasury by one $trillion dollars that’s simply taking money from one pocket, taking out enormous administrative costs and putting what’s left in another pocket. It’s called destructive economics. Now; if Barry Bongo prints the money, “presumably in the White House basement” that Ben Franklin in your back pocket is now an Abe Lincoln. That’s termed inflation or two many dollars chasing too few goods and services.

Either way it’s an excrement sandwich without mustard. We simply cannot spend our way out of a recession. Try it in your household; get in debt and then spend your way out of it. Any takers; I didn’t think so.

If we start posting $trillion dollar deficits you can bet the farm that Moody’s, Standard and Poors, along with every other rating firm will tank our credit rating and that’s when it’s time to pay the piper times three. You will see the end of western civilization in your lifetime. Be sure to take pictures; you’ll need the memories. We’ll also see the end of capitalism and its associated freedoms.

Lest you think Republicans have escaped my literary foil you haven’t been paying proper attention or noticed a practical pattern. I am not a republican; not me, I am a conservative in good standing. A dyed in the wool, dues paying, Reagan conservative, and; might I postulate, a Thomas Jefferson conservative. Being that, it just pisses me off that there isn’t more Republican opposition to this Tom-Foolery. By the by, it was George Bushwhacked himself that started this nonsense with the $700 billion dollar bailout. How’d that work out for you?

So; what have we learned class? If you’ve been paying attention and scribbling furious notes you’re going to ace this test. You’ve learned that bailouts never work. Markets should select winners and losers, not government. We’ve together discovered that spending is the worst thing an entity can do in a recession. We’ve peeled the varnish off the Bamster and loudly proclaim that the king is wearing no clothes.

But; and this is most important. The B-man expects conservatives to rail and riot. What he isn’t expecting are you liberals turning on your messiah for the sake of your own country. Honest; you can do it, it’s the right thing to do and it will assuage your guilt.

Rambling thoughts at Random and Religion

2009-01-06T01:42:00.000-08:00

After a good deal of synaptic, neurological electrical activity within my abnormally large cerebellum, I finally had an epiphany. A great light suddenly showered me with the bright glow of incandescence, flooding my senses with knowledge and wisdom. It was a come to Jesus moment, for me, a pivot point; if you will.
For you see; after my conversion to conservatism, and with that conversion the indisputable knowledge that the greatest impediment to conservatism is liberalism. Yet, this was not only an idealistic chasm of divide; It is by all accounts war; a war between two opposing views and denominations.
As my transformation into conservatism from a pot smoking, long haired, maggot infested F.M. radio type, usually reeking of tear gas strength body odor and, “you know the type, every other word from their pie hole is both most vulgar and sprinkled with heavy doses of, “DUDE”.
Personally, I look upon these filthy potty mouths with disdain. For; I see this type of language as a deficiency in vocabulary and verbal sloth, maybe even negligence in their upbringing. I’m just saying……..
But alas; I’m certain you are now convinced that my thought pattern has run off the rail and I am lost in the dark seeking a coherent thought. Not true and I require not, “mone me”. Oh no my disbeliever; I haven’t lost my place, I never do.
Tag back to my original eyes wide open epiphany of sorts. For literally hundreds of years the war between Liberals vs. Conservatism has been waged in diametrically distinctly different fashions.
Conservatives posit intelligent reason and views into the national debate. Our weapons are ideas. We present tried and true solutions for the ills befouled upon the masses in an attempt to educate. Conservatives put forth truisms based on proven historical context with an abiding knowledge of the intent of those founders of this great nation. We use the constitution as our soapbox and hold in reverence those men who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, just to bring forth the greatest country ever conceived. Yet, we are a peaceful movement, though adamant in our righteousness and our unstoppable passion to get back to our constitution and everything that entails. For the most part we are God loving Christians. Yet, our numbers are dwindling. God has been taken out of the public schools, out of the public square. In its stead the indoctrination, “make that the organized scam of evolution” of evolution being propagandized to our children.
I speak to many people on this subject, more than any other. It would seem that in attempting to merely engage a liberal in religious conversation they retort and smile; as in their mind, they have just bested a bible thumper and their ecstasy upon their belittle smiling face soon results in the most damning liberal arrow in their quiver. They will quote our constitution, almost verbatim as they look smugly down on their victim. Oh, the satisfied look on their face. After all, everyone knows us Christians to be inbred rubes, living in a run down, single wide mobile home with a passel of little nippers. Liberals see the downtrodden as using our God as a crutch. Because, in their cynical mind; only the weak would worship a deity that can’t be proven with modern science.
Yet we Christians have been blessed with faith. Because with the absence of proof, one must have a deep, unshakable and sincere belief, even when faced with no tangible, scientific proof of the religious tenets Christians hold dear and give them peace and a great comfort. Yet; I would postulate this most prescient, truism. Religion; by design has but two codicils requiring an unwavering allegiance to.
Acceptance of Jesus Christ; as your “personal savior” and a profound faith in his death on the cross for our sins; without proof! I believe this, deeply; by design man was never intended to have proof, for without proof, faith is unneeded, even though, A profound faith is the bedrock of Christianity; the acceptance of the Christ child, his blood, “representing the washing away of our sins.

Again, trust me; I haven’t lost my place or train of thought. Liberals, even those pseudo intellectuals who love to spout the first amendment. You’ve no doubt come across them in your daily traverses through life; small minded, Lilliputian liberals, when speaking of religion in schools, public institutions, government buildings, and so on, love to opine about the separation of church. And, to my surprise they actually mean what they say and abide in its comfort. They are assured this separation to be in the body of our sacred founding documents, Written in stone as it were. Yet, in a way, “a perverse way” that too is blind faith. A faith in a separation that does not exists.

Our beloved Pastor Karel; “Our churches’ pastor” is well known for plain talk, he suffers not fools when relating the gospel. He is a man quickly seen to be comfortable in his own skin and passionate in his mission to bring people to God. With a great deal of trepidation and hesitancy I would submit he would tell you this; for, it is the word, our constitution and a symbiotic relationship, “a partnership between politics and religion. Our First amendment; “unbeknownst” to you liberals, “attempting” to perpetuate a Godless Society, a society without the guardrails, without morals, without God, draw close and heed the truth. Embrace it, for you have been deceived.

Let us explore the first amendment in its entirety. It reads as follows; “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

{Emphasis Mine} or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

Now let us listen to the founders whose intent scholars have been trying for centuries to comprehend

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --October 11, 1798- John Adams

“Let divines and philosophers, statesmen and patriots, unite their endeavors to renovate the age by impressing the minds of men with the importance of educating their little boys and girls, inculcating in the minds of youth the fear and love of the Deity… and leading them in the study and practice of the exalted virtues of the Christian system.” [October 4, 1790] Samuel Adams

“Be religiously careful in our choice of all public officers . . . and judge of the tree by its fruits.”- Elias Boudinot

In Benjamin Franklin's 1749 plan of education for public schools in Pennsylvania, he insisted that schools teach "the Excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern."

Alexander Hamilton:
• Hamilton began work with the Rev. James Bayard to form the Christian Constitutional Society to help spread over the world the two things which Hamilton said made America great:
(1) Christianity
(2) a Constitution formed under Christianity.
“The Christian Constitutional Society, its object is first: The support of the Christian religion. Second: The support of the United States.”
On July 12, 1804 at his death, Hamilton said, “I have a tender reliance on the mercy of the Almighty, through the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am a sinner. I look to Him for mercy; pray for me.”
"For my own part, I sincerely esteem it [the Constitution] a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests." [1787 after the Constitutional Convention]
“It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ”.-Patrick Henry

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible.”- George Washington

{Author resumes}; Sadly, it can’t resound from the pulpit without legions of ACLU lawyers Para trooping in to revoke the tax exempt status of the offending oracle. Yet, I am not so hobbled nor bound by these shackles on free speech. We are accepting a corrupt governing body at all levels, Christians watch in sadness and horror at the moral decay abounding within our society. Promiscuity, abortion, False cults in a the name of Islam, lagging church attendance, unwed mothers, burgeoning drug use, the false religion of global warming, infidelity, mans inhumanity to man, violence, prostitution, a world where strip clubs have begun to outnumber churches, homosexuality, an internet that has become pervasive with pornographic images, child predators, false prophets, the erosion of religion from our society, and finally, the tsunami efforts to remove God from government and public discourse.
By removing God, we are obliterating religion, faith, and erasing the line between good and evil. We are sowing the seeds of our own demise.
Whatsoever you sow you shall reap
Jesus said, to him who asks of thee, give; and from him who would borrow of thee, do not turn away.
Also Jesus said, Therefore all that you wish men to do to you, even so do you also to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Paul said, he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity.
Always remember whatsoever you do unto others it shall return to you tenfold and if you withhold from others, God will withhold from you.
Brethren, never worry about suffering loss because of the gospel sakes or Christ's sake because if you lose anything for Jesus sake and for the gospel's sake, you shall receive now in this present time a hundredfold as much.

* If anyone be sick do not withhold from them lest God see it and be displeased and withhold the power of healing from you when you are sick.

* Whatsoever you sow you shall reap.----Jesus

{Author resumes}; we have allowed our schools to become incubators of political correctness. The teachers union and their incestuous relationship with our duly elected liberal democrats have a mission to completely remove God from education and replace religion with the scam of evolution.
What hasn’t been taught is that as this country became a sovereign nation, “under God” schools were under the complete domain of the Christian church. The students used the holy Bible to learn how to read and prayer was a great deal of the curriculum. Below is a history of religion in our public schools…………… http://www.free2pray.info/Schools.html

The answer is simple, really. Conservative Christians have stood idly by while God has been taken from our schools, the public square, our municipal boards, our state houses, our federal congress and even the executive branch, This in complete contrast to the intent of those brave men whom born this country. As a nation we cannot survive unless we are a moral and religious people. It’s up to us. As our pastor is so fond of saying; these most prescient words, “You will spend eternity somewhere”. “Where you spend it is up to you”. For without God we cannot survive as a country.

The Great Depression 2

2008-12-29T17:54:00.000-08:00

It’s scary out there, no doubt about it. But; don’t panic, with our help you can get through this and live to see Obama impeached for diddling a male intern, I’m just saying. In these uncertain times you’re likely to discover that alcohol will become an important coping tool. After all, when did you ever see the drunks on an airplane panic when the captain reports engine trouble? While the teetotalers are making deals with God, wetting their pants and running up and down the aisle with their hair on fire; the inebriated are in the back of the plane singing, “Red Neck Mother”. All I’m saying is consider vast quantities of booze; and, by the way, I recommend Kentucky bourbon. It’s as smooth as a prom queens thighs and only half as risky.

As economic Armageddon befalls every financial sector you will suffer, “Social collapse run-down economic woes ebullition derangement” or “SCREWED”. And; while there isn’t a cure there is a treatment. Pharmaceutical trials have shown Thorazine to be effective in treating, “SCREWED”. Side Effects include drooling, lazy eye, hallucinations, hair loss, sexual side effects, seizures, anal leaking, Chlamydia, diaper rash, bleeding gums, bubble butts, suicide, sewer rats, thumb sucking, necrophilia, necropsy, warts, freckles, coma, whimpering and death. As with all medicines, consult your healthcare provider before taking any medication. If you don’t want to get, “Screwed” consider Thorazine. Thorazine also comes in a colorful, cherry flavor for children and is safe for infants. Pick some up today!

Sooner or later it’s going to happen. You’ll be standing on a street corner trying to talk yourself out of jumping in front of the next bus. That’s normal; trust me. It’s not going to be easy keeping a positive attitude with the world falling down around you. However; there are proven techniques you can employ to, “Sunny up” your horizons. We suggest Hookers. That’s right; hookers. Cheap hookers will put a smile on your face and a song in your heart. And; under an Obama administration they are tax deductible. If you’re really lucky you’ll get a fatal STD that will put you out of your misery. When visiting that hooker, be sure you tell her Conservative Springfield sent you. You’ll get a discount and we’ll get our cut. Everybody wins!

In trying times it always makes you feel better when you come across someone worse off than you. That’s just human nature. When you’re really down we suggest visiting an orphanage, burn unit, critical care facility or morgue. Once you see just how destitute, despondent and dead others are, you can’t help feeling better about yourself. After all; it’s all about perspective and your relative position to those less fortunate than you. So, revel in someone else’s misery and feel better about your lot in life. Proving, once again, misery does love company.

Just a couple more tips. Taking for granted that you will lose your home shortly after Obama takes office you’ll be shopping for an apartment or refrigerator box. Make sure to get one on the first floor. As your depression about the depression worsens, you will be tempted to jump out the window.
If for any reason you have to replace your stove; get electric, not gas. That way, when you feel the urge to put your head in the oven, you’ll just singe a little hair.
Just remember; whatever’s left after four years of Obama we can sell to Mexico for kindling. I’m just saying.

It is End-Time

2008-12-16T17:32:00.001-08:00

I know what you’re thinking; when I predicted gloom and doom, despair and desperation, an economy on the precipice; you scoffed from behind your rose colored glasses, wrote me off as a short busser, then continued down Pollyanna road. Now; oh now, the very financial wisdom I postulated, posited and spoke of so pointedly seems quite prophetic and proper. It is the financial end-time but it’s worse than even I put forth. The housing market meltdown, “via the sub-prime debacle” was only the first shoe to drop. There are at least shoe stores of shoes dropping behind curtain number two; unbeknownst to Middle America or Obama voters.

As America is focused on the chia pet, “Rod Blagoyavich”, those wacky, loveable leftists that burned to the ground Sarah Palin’s church, the shoe size of Baghdad reporters, Rome is burning and the left is buying marshmallows. Pay attention here as this is likely to be one of the best economics lessons you’ve ever had. And, for free; I make economics interesting. Even for Obama voters.

The sub-prime meltdown has gone global and seeped into commercial properties. Investors Business Daily predicts a forty percent occupancy rate within two years. That’s shoe number two. Clodhopper three is the ballooning un-employment numbers that are increasing prime rate defaults. Nike® number four is much more Machiavellian and diabolical. High un-employment, sub-prime defaults, commercial defaults and prime defaults produce what we are seeing in California; contracted revenues to local, state and federal receipts. As government continues to expand to the, “be-all, end-all” of the huddled masses, this financial train is coming down the mountain at break neck speed, brakes be damned and will come off the tracks.

The Federal Reserve, also known as, “the financial stooges” intends to combat the fiduciary meltdown by throwing pies at each other, poking each other in the eye, yuk, yuk, and lowering interest rates to zero or less, ala Alan Greenspan. Note; economics lesson number one. Cheap money always finds a home. Not always a good home, but a home. Cheap money after 911 has a symbiotic duality of shared responsibility with those cheese eating, rat faced democrats whom cheerleadered Fannie and Freddie, the root of all evil.

Present day; enter George Bush, Hank Paulson et al. As a conservative I have a reoccurring dream that, “Darth Vader”, Dick Cheney, quietly suffocates the compassionate conservative and takes his rightful place on the throne. I mean really; we are going to spend our way out of debt? Not bloody likely mate! Try that in your personal finances.

The Federal Reserve is investing $billions in T- bills with a guaranteed return of rate at zero. If that’s not the rooster crowing at midnight I don’t know what is. It’s also called inventing money. Look this is simple; and, it’s simply explained. Recently a representative of Israel revealed a conversation that he had held with our President. It went as so; Bush told, “HIM” that America would always be there for Israel, provided that we survived. Commodity sellers are predicting gold at $2000 an ounce next year. The dollar is falling with oil though oil is pegged to the dollar. We are seeing record deflation. Short sellers have taken over Wall Street. The Fed, Treasury and option sellers are running around like their hair is on fire. It is the financial end-time; it’s just no one wants to admit it, yet.

Depressions are the frog in ever an increasing hot water kettle. Regardless of your historical perspective or education, America did not enter a depression with the crashing markets of 1929. No; soon after the crash, markets spiked and ebbed. That is, until government got involved. We are the only country that refers to the worldwide depression as, “the great depression”. Because; we are the only country to suffer it for a decade, thanks to our benevolent government. We are pursuing the same track as the linear thoughts of Hoover and Roosevelt. Government intrusion in markets only insures everlasting harm.

It would seem that no government wants a little pain on their watch. Instead, punting great pain; ala kicking the can down the road, onto the next generation. Doing so only makes the looming crisis larger while mortgaging our children’s future. But now, the road is a dead end for the can. It is the end time, buckle up, it’s apt to get bumpy from here.

What to watch for. Treasury notes are yielding zero return. T-bills are simply American debt. Foreign countries have stopped buying our debt, knowing we can never possibly repay. And; the final shoe to drop will be a run on the dollar. When this happens we’ll, “overnight” turn into a third world, banana republic, looking to Mexico for aid.

What we could do but won’t, and why. While it isn’t possible to avoid a great deal of financial pain there are things, “legitimate practices” our government could so engage. First, we could repeal the compliance hindrances that government has shackled business with. Then we could apply common sense initiatives, such as a flat corporate tax rate of five percent. Applying the same rate to capital gains taxes would infuse private investment into industry and spawn the erection of industrial infrastructure. Manufacturing jobs would tsunami back to our shores as producers enjoy the benefit of production near consumption.

Of course, we will never do that, preferring to go down with the ship, as it were. Democrats will never accept a lowering of taxes on evil corporations as they are the genesis of class warfare. And, even if they were predisposed to do so, Russia, China and India all have much lower corporate tax rates than we do. They would never abide industry returning to America. For if we endeavored to do this, these countries would flood the world with our dollars, collapsing our economy. So, as I said, and will stand firmly by, “It is the End Time”.

It is End-Time

President Joe Biden

2008-12-11T15:33:00.001-08:00

Whenever someone tells me, “move along, nothing to see here” I get suspicious. So, with the news media, the Obama camp and legal beagles coming out of the woodwork to emphasize the seven degrees of separation between Governor Rod Blagojevich and Barack Yo’ Mama, my spidy senses start twitching.
Living in Illinois I can attest to this; we’ve known for years what the rest of the country is only now finding out, our governor has treated the electorate of this state much like a baby treats a diaper. The citizenry of the state saw this coming. We had only hoped the arrest of this rube to be more akin to Rodney King than Scooter Libby; maybe next time.

Though expected, there are aspects of this case that seem to make little or no sense. First, leaks don’t come out of the U.S. attorneys’ office in Chicago. It just doesn’t happen. Say what you will about Patrick Fitzgerald, “and I’ve said a lot” he runs a tight ship and suffers not fools. Yet, as soon as the ink was dry on federal warrants to wiretap governor “hairball”, the Chicago Tribune had the story and prepared to run it. Fitzgerald got them to hold the story until one week before the arrest. Meaning, the leak had to have come from the FBI, who, by the way, will have none other than Barry-O appointing a new director in a few weeks.
Coincidentally, Valerie Jarrett, Barry’s choice to replace him, withdrew her name from consideration just as the Chicago Tribune printed the story revealing governor Rod had become an audiophile. Why did she suddenly stop wanting to be a United States senator with all of the accompanying graft? Hmmm….

Another thing; I’m not for one second buying this altruism defense of Elliot Ness in shutting down this investigation when he did so. It’s beginning to look like Pat was more afraid of whom he might catch in his net than the bass he’d already boated. It’s lunacy to shut down an investigation before the actual crime being investigated is committed.

In legal terms all we have here is intent and possibly a conspiracy. For binding legal precepts, “what is needed” is an offer, acceptance and consideration. This case represents only one of the three binds. A stated fear that the governor might actually commit the crime and appoint a senator is at best disingenuous. A legal remedy would have been available. Fitzgerald could have ridden in on his white horse, exposed the bribe along with the briber, tracked the exchange of compensation, slapped the cuffs on the perps and give us the perp walk we were denied. The Senate would have never allowed that senator in waiting to be seated and we could begin construction of the Illinois wing at the Federal penitentiary.

No, there’s something here that doesn’t pass the smell test. And, don’t even think this is the end of governor, “hot Rod”. He isn’t wired like that. You can bet he is setting in his office taking offers of large dough to keep his mouth shut. Why do you think the democratically controlled, Illinois house of representatives is balking at impeachment? You can bet your grannies homemade apple pie recipe that he has dirt on all the leadership. That’s just the way Illinois works.

Back to Obama; it’s well known around Chicago that federal investigators have been roaming the city and paying special attention to real estate brokers. In particular those involved with the sale of Hyde Park properties owned by one Anthony Rezko and Hussein Obama. Evidently Mr. Rezko has been very helpful in these endeavors. Perhaps now we’ll see just how, “law and order” Patrick Fitzgerald is. Can you say President Joe Biden?

All We Have To Fear Is Government

2008-12-08T17:47:00.000-08:00

The economy has gotten so bad, that even prostitutes are instituting a buy one get one free policy and getting in line for a government bailout. Come to think of it; the executives of the big three auto companies have a lot in common with these working girls. They’ll do any for money too. At least the working girls are providing a service in demand.
Now the states ‘hat in hand ’are joining the bailout line along with the RICHIE Richs’s of wall street, Tom, Dick and Harry, Insurance companies, credit card lenders, media outlets , Fannie, Freddie and Fonzie, major banks, and coming to a theater near you, drug dealers from the hood.

Look; here’s what you need to know………
This alphabet bailout has as much chance of working as Senator Robert Byrd has of forming a coherent thought, Not Bloody Likely!
Ignoring the equal protection clause our Federal government has taken upon itself the ordained responsibility of picking winners and losers. Those taxpayers working in factories owned by Nissan, Toyota, Honda and Kia located within our borders will be “through forced benevolence” counted upon to support the very companies they are competing against. Think of it this way; you make DVD’s for a living and are forced to subsidize your neighbor who produces VHS tapes and buys houses he can ill afford. After all; just add Mom, apple pie and Chevrolet; Then Ford, Chrysler and Citibank. It’s like Threes Company without Mr. Roper. All punch lines with no straight man or straight talk

“The Senate banking”, committee; along with the era of central planning” “socialist cabal, I.E. Ben Bernake, Henry Paulson ET. Al.” has taken upon them the mantle of but plug to the American economy, when what needed be is a fire hydrant enema of biblical proportions. The only arbitrator of success should be the market. {Emphasis Mine} Capitalism is simply the Freedom to engage in commerce.

Provided autonomy; markets work, capital seeks profit, production, equity and competence is rewarded. Conversely; Incompetence, government influence and irresponsible leverage is punished.
The business model of capitalism, “left to its own devices” cannot be improved upon or tweaked by government. Capitalism doesn’t pick winners or losers; it simply defines success and failure by rewarding one and punishing the other.

Enter GSE’s or “government sponsored entities”, also known as, “destructive economics”. This phenomenon began with Fannie and Freddie and has spread like a virus into our banking system, corporate America and soon to the big three. Ostensibly, GSE’s cannot fail as they are backed by the full faith and fortune of the government, our tax dollars. Taking failure off the table removes accountability and adulterates capitalism into socialism. Capitalism distributes wealth unequally; Socialism distributes poverty equally.

The government’s rationale for dog-piling itself into every nook and cranny of our economy is the dark and barren financial predictions of doom and gloom, the end of time. Obama claims to create two million jobs with his autocratic benevolence.

Back to destructive economics; I can create jobs in my home town by breaking every plate glass, storefront window in the downtown area. Glaziers would hire more employees, glass suppliers would boom and window installers would be taking whole hogs home instead of just the bacon. But, I have created those jobs by taking money out of pocket, “A” just to put it in pocket, “B”; destructive economics. This is government job creation in a nutshell.
It’s too dangerous a time in the yet un-written history of America for our benefactors in Washington to be fiddling while Main Street burns. Our economy is in deflation, a much more serious financial ill than its evil symbiotic twin; inflation. Deflations result in depressions; inflation is part and parcel to recessions. Deflation is simply too many goods and services chasing too few dollars. Inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods and services. It’s fairly simple and doesn’t require a degree in higher math.

Here comes Uncle Sam, at a time when government should be seen and not heard. Treasury is loaning $trillions of dollars to banks who in turn are buying other banks and, “you guessed it” buying treasury bills. Think of it as the banks putting all of their money under the mattress.

What government can do? Frankly, we’d be money ahead just to pay congress to go on vacation for a couple of years. Anything they do, “short of nothing” will only exacerbate current financial woes and insure America suffers the great depression two.

As government jumps into our markets with both feet and takes warrants in our financial and industrial markets they reinforce investor’s fears. Literally $6 trillion dollars of investment equity remains sidelined in fear of competing with Uncle Sam and his striped, deep pockets.
For instance; will Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Kia, et al. continue to transplant factories into this country, knowing the united auto workers have access to the treasury of the United States?

Conversely; what investor would employ capital into General Motors knowing full well that common stock in GM® now takes a back seat to the federal government and 330 million Americans?

Though it isn’t represented in the text of our constitution, we are incessantly beat over the head with the liberal mantra, “separation of church and state”. For our union to survive I would postulate this; what we should abide is a separation of capitalism and government.

Soliais,

2008-12-04T19:09:00.000-08:00

Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, fresh off his victory over challenger Jim Martin in the Georgia Senate runoff, told FOX News Wednesday that campaign trail appearances by Sarah Palin helped put him over the top.

Both candidates brought in heavy hitters to stump for them in the final days before the runoff.

Former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore hit the stump for Martin. And a host of candidates from the GOP presidential primary, including GOP nominee John McCain, stumped for Chambliss.

"We had some great folks in. Obviously, you want to peak on the last day, and we had John McCain and Mike Huckabee and Governor Romney and Rudy Giuliani," Chambliss told FOX News.

But he said Palin, who showed up for rallies in Georgia on Monday, had the most impact

The Battle for the Republican Party

2008-12-01T17:09:00.000-08:00

A recent poll confirms what we conservatives have known for some time; we want Sarah. This scares Republicans and Democrats alike; yet for diametrical different causes. The GOP fears Palin for what she is and represents. Governor Palin is a conservative, not a milquetoast, knee wobbly Republican with wetted finger always in the air. No, she is a dyed in the wool, self made giant killer. Just ask the Republican machine in Alaska. She not only took on the corrupt GOP machine in Alaska, she sent a lot of Republicans to jail. She doesn’t play ball, she doesn’t go along to get along. This scares the hell out of the RNC and is evident by the Republican senate majority leader in Juno. With a stroke of her pen the majority leader could have ended the senate investigation into, “trooper gate” faster than Obama can hide his birth certificate. She encouraged the investigation because she is still part of the dismantled Republican machine in Juno. And, she holds a grudge.
Conversely, Democrats fear Palin because in her they see Reagan. They see a confident, affable, straight talker that they know will resonate with the American people. This is why she must be destroyed; and, make no mistake; they will attempt to do so. Just as soon as the Obamagasm wears off.
For you conspiracy kooks out there who remain convinced that the CIA killed Kennedy and Sarah Palin hurt the McCain campaign it’s probably time to get off the smoke-able herbs and cactus flowers. I’m just saying.
To the time machine Mr. Wizard! {Back to August 2007} There was as much enthusiasm for John McCain in the Republican Party as there is for cold gruel in an orphanage. Let’s face it; McCain has the personality of cardboard. Oh, and there was that amnesty thing, the gang of fourteen, McCain Feingold, his opposition to tax cuts and a bad comb-over.
Palin on the ticket ensured he wouldn’t lose by double digits. If we are to be pragmatic we would admit this election was almost certain to sway Democrat. Americans were war weary, the economy tanked, the media swooned and Brittney shaved her head. Comparatively it’s somewhat of a miracle Obama didn’t win all fifty-seven states.
It’s probably too early to be putting up your Palin for President Yard signs, “at least wait until Obama is inaugurated” but a recent poll suggests she is the darling of the GOP and an ever omnipresent force in the political arena. We will see. What we know is this; there is a battle for the soul of the Republican Party. It’s the Christians and Lions all over again. Except this time the Lions are conservatives.

I had a Dream

2008-11-24T17:35:00.000-08:00

What’s more than obvious is this; when it comes to solving the financial meltdown, the inmates are running the asylum. It’s almost like high school kids are running the show and if the subject matter were not so serious it might be entertaining, to a degree. What we can ascertain is this truism; not one pencil pushing idiot in charge of this bailout has any idea what to do or when to do it. Perhaps we should have drafted doctors in this fiduciary endeavor as the first rule of medicine is, “do no harm”.

What the Federal Reserve, along with the treasury has done is to create a never ending line of corporate hobos, “tin can in hand” lined up around the block, waiting to get into the treasury soup kitchen. Though, it is fun to watch them grovel.

Look, as faithful readers you can attest to my humility and self deprecation. Can’t you? Still, having the solution to all life’s frailties and foibles, economic or otherwise, it is my moral imperative to shower knowledge upon those less synapsetic endowed.

Plus, this isn’t that hard. An economic collapse had to occur. True, the democrats shifted this bad boy into high gear with their, “oversight” of the evil twins; “Fannie and Freddie” yet, they only laid the inevitable on the American doormat. And, by the way, made millions doing it; thanks democrats. We owe you.

We’ve all heard of the rust belt, the diminishing industrial base, declining manufacturing. It’s really simple; we have driven industry out of this country. Blame the uncertain labor market, “unions”, the second highest corporate tax rates in the entire world, compliance regulations, environmental terrorists, college graduates whom aren’t smarter than a fifth grader wading into the labor pool, state tax rates, municipal tax rates, energy costs, health care costs, insurance costs, trial lawyers, OSHA, lazy employees and Miley Cirus. Gee, why wouldn’t a company want to do business here?

No, we have driven manufacturing out of this country and metamorphosed into a service economy, think dishwashers and waitresses. A full seventy percent of our GDP is based upon citizens purchasing goods and services that we don’t make here. We purchase products from India, China and Japan while borrowing the money to purchase these imports from India, China and Japan. These countries are loaning us the money to purchase their products thinking that someday we’ll be good for it. It’s the classic bend over and, “take the money” scheme.

It is untenable, unattainable, unsustainable, unprofitable and unwise. And, it can be repaired. Corporate taxes are merely a built in tax on consumerism. For the most part corporations build in that tax on their good or service, making American made products more expensive and unable to compete in the world marketplace. Combine the simple fact that we are the world’s largest consumers with the knowledge that companies want to make their products here, “shipping costs” it would seem that the square peg will fit in the round hole.

In the short term, government will have to do with less, a concept unknown to Washington proper. Were we to cut corporate taxes to, say…., zero, and cap capital gain tax at five percent, the entire industrial world would be beating down our door. Good jobs would ensue, the tax base would grow exponentially and the birds would again sing.

It is estimated that there is over $7 trillion dollars in offshore accounts waiting for opportunity. Ironically, that exact figure is what we have spent battling our economic woes. That surely worked out well; didn’t it? Still, Obama has one card; if he’ll play it.

Economist Christina Romer will be director his Council of Economic Advisors, which provides economic analysis and advice to the president. Christy is a supply sider; a brilliant economist and one tough broad. It makes me wonder how she finagled an appointment from the messiah. However, if his most merciful listens to this woman, “and ignores the advice of Larry Summers” the Conservative Springfield plan has a chance. Hey, we all know one thing; Obama knows as much about economics as Paris Hilton knows about wearing panties. He will have to rely on advisers. Frankly; I doubt Obama can do simple math.

Fair Points; Christina is also in favor of enforcing the up tick rule wherein short sellers can only dabble in markets with an upside, abolishing mark to market rules, naked shorts and whitey tighties.

So…….this could work. Provided Obama turns his back on the rabid left, slaps down the democratically controlled congress, snubs the press, ignores all but one of his economic advisers, puts Michelle back in the kitchen and gives up his political future. Also, he may have to take up smoking, again. Ah well, I guess I was dreaming.

The Apocolypse

2008-11-19T18:21:00.000-08:00

Gee Wally; though I am hesitant to say I told you so, I did. As the Dow races to 7000 my prophetic, prescient, almost clairvoyant predictions of an economic apocalypse are tragically coming to fruition. Yet, it will get much, much worse; trust me. The vaunted $700 billion, “shuck and jive” has been as effective in loosening credit markets as Al Gore has been at losing weight. He’s still a fat bastard and our financial markets are circling the bowl. Here’s what you need to know.

It’s too late to prop up our financial markets. The fire started by Democrat holdovers, flunkies and thieves in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has spread from our financials to industrials and even to internet advertising; ala Google’s dive today. Also note Yahoo is almost free and CBS is on life support at $5.00 a share. My point; every sector of our economy is in full nose dive.

Just for kicks, let’s quickly stroll down memory lane and examine the cause of this winter of our discontent. Democrat hacks at Fannie and Freddie used sex, lies and videotape to cook the books, receive millions in target bonus’s and got congress to look the other way by bribing Democrats in the senate, “when republicans were in charge” and by bribing a lot of Democrats when they were in charge. Who said public service doesn’t pay? As republicans and President Bush were ringing the bell and shouting fire, democrats and the media minimized the alarm while shouting, “Racists pigs”.

Fannie and Freddie currently hold $6 trillion dollars in toxic mortgages but, that doesn’t tell the whole story. Through the halls of these evil twins passed $50 trillion dollars in toxic mortgages. These mortgages were explicitly given to unqualified buyers, bundled together in hundreds of billions of dollar packages and securities were sold around the world with the collateral being these toxic, worthless mortgages. All the while, Democrats fiddled, as the world burned. As these mortgages defaulted, the securities backed by them became worthless. Companies holding these securities, overnight had seen their balance sheets lose trillions. The financial markets went into freefall. As the tsunami swept through the financials credit markets froze. Industries hadn’t the ability to short term borrow. Major stock indexes tanked; oil futures spiraled and even deflation of macro commodities ensued. It turned out to be an excrement sandwich. And, it’s only begun. It will get biblical; trust me, I have predicted this all.

As expected, Democrats will bail out the car companies, insuring that they will indeed fail. This will spike unemployment into double digits and continue the domino sequential falling of economic indicators. While deflation will headline on the world stage, briefly, our most merciful government, under the messiah, “Barry O” massive capital infusions into the economy will rush, “fresh of the printing presses” into the economy, causing inflation percentages of 1000 percent; minimum. Prime Fed rates will approach 25% in an effort to curb inflation. The housing market will be destroyed, along with the seven or eight hundred businesses’s relying on it.

A world wide depression will ensue. Yet, it will be a gradual decline; much like easing into a too hot bathtub. At the height of the second great depression America will have a 70% unemployment rate. Most workers, “still employed” will be employed by the government. There will be a 30% homeless rate and the end of western civilization will be at hand. In the first great depression America was much more rural, more self sufficient. Today we are more urban, more dependent on government, more hapless. We’ve lost that rugged individualism that our founders embodied and this nation was born with. We are spoiled, rich and sassy; unable to hunt, to fish, to grow our own food.

Still, pause and reflect if you will, for in every calamity there is a teachable moment. Perhaps, just perhaps, as the phoenix rises from the ashes, whenever that future time is, it will be ingrained into the American psyche and told around the campfires dotted across these fruited plains. Liberalism is not tenable, it never was.

If within America there still resided a responsible news media, just admitting to being a democrat would be enough to get you tarred, feathered and railroaded out of town. Such vitriol would inhabit the populace were the unvarnished truth ever be told, en masse. I can safely postulate this premise knowing full well that were the electorate ever dutifully informed as to the depth of treachery visited on this country by democrats much of the democratic leadership would be hanging in the town square.

Take the current auto crisis of the big three. General Motors, for instance, is paying pensions and healthcare costs for 879,000 retirees and medical insurance benefits for 1.2 million family members. By the way, these are exorbitant costs for non-productive persons. And, as the saying goes, “hey, GM made these deals”. It isn’t as simplistic as that. I’m certain everyone with ears has heard health benefits were ingrained during the great American depression. The myth goes; There was a severe shortage of money so…to attract employees many companies offered healthcare benefits to compliment meager salaries. You’ve heard that, right? Well Joseph Lunchbox you’ve been scammed. Companies did not offer healthcare to employees before the great depression and only did during the depression because of wage and price controls instituted by that well known socialist, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Employer sponsored medical insurance was practically thrust upon business under Roosevelt and with it, immediately, healthcare costs began to rise exponentially.

Yet, FDR had help in bringing American car companies to the brink. Democrats’ favorite target has always been corporate USA. Thanks to forty years of a Democrat controlled legislature, corporations pay the second highest corporate taxes in the world. Corporate federal tax is 35%, average state tax is 5%, thanks to compliance laws and regulatory restrictions, corporations spend 10% of their budgets on compliance. That’s 50% cost before they sell even one widget. And, the great unwashed wonders why manufacturing jobs have left this country. They left because of the left.

Democrats have routinely painted Wal-Mart as evil, greedy capitalists. They have promised to bankrupt the coal industry. They have taken an oath to dismantle our nuclear energy plants. They have accepted Japans extraordinary tariffs on U.S. automobiles while allowing million of Japanese cars into this country, tariff free. FYI, I blame Bush for this too. I mean really, we can’t upset the Japanese; they finance a great deal of our out of control federal spending.

Democrats have promised to get us off oil within ten years, even though, there is no reasonable replacement. They have blocked drilling for our domestic oil supplies. They have blocked the exploration of natural gas. Democrats have abdicated patriotism in favor of losing the war on terror. They have perpetrated a global warming hoax upon their constituencies designed to make carbon a commodity and enrich General Electric who, by the way, owns NBC and MSNBC, to news outlets considered the media wing of the Democrat party. Democrats got us into Vietnam, it took a Republican to kick Charlie’s ass and get a cease fire. Only to have it abrogated by a Democrat congress and communist expansionism. Democrats gave us the war on poverty, a $6 trillion transfer of wealth that rewarded failure and punished success.

Democrats gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and a myriad of other social engineering behemoths that will soon bankrupt this nation. Democrats gave us the sub-prime lending program, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; this being the sole indicters of the current collapse of markets around the world and most probably the end of western civilization. Democrats gave us Bill Clinton, well known huckster, seller of technology to our enemies and stainer of dresses. It is the left that divided this country by encouraging Al, “I created the internet” Gore to steal the election of 2000. Democrats gave us political correctness, insuring a stifling of free speech. Where it’s legal, and “soon to be everywhere”, Democrats gave us gay marriage, abortion, sex education, bibles out of public classrooms and Rosie O’Donnell. Democrats gave us September 11, 2001 by not engaging an enemy that had vowed our destruction.

It was the Democrats who gave us affirmative action in an attempt to right one wrong with another wrong. It was the Democrats who gave us an Islamic theocracy in Iran by not supporting the Shah, whom by the way, was our ally. It was the Democrats who gave us Jimmy Carter, who gave us 70% obscene marginal tax rates, 12% inflation, double digit unemployment, gas lines and 21% mortgage interest rates. It is the Democrats constantly attempting to erode our second amendment rights. It is the Democrats adulterating our first amendment with the reinstatement of the, “fairness doctrine”.

Perhaps you see my prescient posit; if it’s broken, Democrats probably broke it. This is why I fear so much for this country, my country. For the American electorate to elect any Democrat to an office in stature above that of a common dog catcher gives me pause and great trepidation. A French philosopher once said, upon observing the experiment that was a collection of these United States, “it is a fine republic with a fatal flaw, once the people realize they can vote themselves treasure all will fail”. And, finally, Democrats have rewarded failure and bought a full forty percent of the electorate with handouts and treasure; proving, that not all Frenchmen are idiots, contrary to public perception.

Barry, the Constitution and Two Ply

2008-11-13T17:58:00.000-08:00

Since Obama abdicated honesty by claiming to be the tax slasher and defender of the universe apparently he, “and his ilk” are attempting to double down; gut shoot the inside straight and blanket themselves in constitutional credence. Honestly, this takes more cajones than an elephant about to mount Rosie O’Donnell. Gee, even that picture makes me somewhat ill.

For those of us paying attention to the Obama instead of gushing homage we’ve noticed a call from the chosen one and his supporters to a return to the constitution and those founding principals abiding within the text. To the huddled masses chanting, “yes we can” this communal soliloquy might fly yet, for we in the top ten percent, firing over 90% of neurons along our synapsetic highway this is the epitome of lipstick on a pig.

Conservatives read our constitution much as liberals read a wine list with pinky finger outstretched. We know it, we get it and we are consumed by it. We believe it to be sacrosanct and unassailable. To we, the people, it is an inspired document of divine genesis. For liberals it is merely two ply on a scroll.

We have witnessed testimony, wherein posited profundities postulated that his holiest Barack conjoined with the ACLU, will end the transgression of Bush II and restore constitutionality to these amber waves of grain upon which God shed his grace. Oh really?

The ACLU was founded by a Communist, with communist ideals, communist goals, and they continue to impose a Communist like agenda on America daily. The founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin stated clearly… “My chief aversion is the system of greed, private profit, privilege and violence which makes up the control of the world today, and which has brought it to the tragic crisis of unprecedented hunger and unemployment Therefore, I am for Socialism, disarmament and ultimately, for the abolishing of the State itself, I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”

This revelation on its face would be, “in all intellectual circles” game, set and match. Yet, draw near and prepare to be dazzled with this soon to be award winning composition, for in this endeavor, with talent on loan from Rush, I draw inspiration from the almighty and have only just begun.

Federal Judge Phyllis Hamilton, “a Clinton appointee” recently upheld a ruling requiring seventh-grade students to pretend they're Muslims, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Quran, pray to Allah and even to play "jihad games" in California public schools.(WND)

The ACLU has refused to comment on the ruling except to say they find, “nothing actionable” in the ruling. Translation: the ACLU doesn’t have a problem with it. If California public schools were requiring students to memorize Bible verses the ACLU would have lawyers kicking down the school doors and would be all over local school boards like Rosie O’Donnell on a baked ham. You just know they would.

In 1989 the ACLU began a crusade to remove the Mount Soledad Cross located in the center of a Korean War Memorial in San Diego, California. The Cross was erected in 1954. While continuing a battle to have the Cross removed they have defended Muslims who have demanded, “Foot Basins” in airports, football stadiums and other public places. Foot Basins are used by Muslims in preparation for prayer. "Why are we constructing places of worship for them inside our airports?" said an airport official who requested anonymity. "Why are we catering to their rituals? We don't do it for any other religion."(WND) As Christians, let’s ask airport officials for a chapel and see how long it takes for the ACLU to come to our aid. Waiting……….waiting……..

While absolutely berating pharmacists, who, “because of religious convictions” have refused to sell “Levonelle”, commonly referred to as the morning after pill. The ACLU defends Muslim taxi drivers who have refused to carry passengers who have been drinking alcohol or possess alcohol. The ACLU has even gone as far as to defend the rights of Muslim taxi drivers to refuse to carry blind patrons who avail themselves of a Seeing Eye dog. The Islamic religion considers dogs unclean. If Timmy’s in the well does it matter if Lassie has had a bath? In a related case, it wasn’t a surprise when the ACLU came to the defense of Muslims employed at Target stores who refused to scan pork products. Got Bacon?

At this point I imagine liberal foreheads to be throbbing and I know just how to push them over the edge. Abortion, utter the word and liberals go running for a soapbox. In 1973 the United States Supreme Court found a right to privacy in the constitution where one did not exist. Since then over 40 million abortions have been performed. Abortion angers conservatives on two fronts. We believe abortion to be immoral and an adulteration of our constitution.

The ACLU, “with a nod from the courts” has taken abortion out of the public debate, “or so they thought” and relegated this most important decision to nine justices and not to the people. Now, the ACLU is going after the tax exempt status of churches who dare speak out against abortion on moral grounds, calling such speech political. In 1987, the ACLU Foundation and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed an amicus brief in support of Abortion Rights Mobilization to secure standing in a suit challenging the tax exempt status of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was charged with violating its tax-exempt status by taking a stand against abortion. This is important and deserving of explanation. First the ACLU takes a pro-abortion stance and asks for judicial relief insomuch as abortion is a legal question to be removed from the political debate. After a Supreme Court affirmation of this argument the ACLU reverses itself and makes the wild claim that abortion is a political topic and those who would engage in the abortion debate are involved in political speech. That takes chutzpah folks.

The evidence is overwhelming and I could continue to list it for days. The ACLU is anti-Christianity and anti-American. There can be no other conclusion and those who would argue differently are either an order of French fries short of a happy meal of need to have their medications refilled.

Now; as to liberals suddenly drawing a bright red line as to constitutionality, this is just too damn easy, really it is. If you are a liberal with asthma, get your inhaler. If you’re a leftist alcoholic, get your ripple. And, if you’re Oprah, go shopping; you won’t understand this.

Article one, two and three provides for all federal powers allowed to our most benevolent government. {Sarcasm Mine} In little words, for you liberal little people those powers are these; provide for a common defense, negotiate international treaties and lastly, to settle disputes between the states in the arena of commerce. Period! To simplify; all of these sanctimonious social engineering programs exalted by Barry don’t pass the smell test or any constitutional one. Sorry, you anti-Zionist Zombies, you lose. Better luck next time. But hey, thanks for playing.
