Worst Economy Ever?

KY3, Springfield, Missouri's NBC affiliate, is reporting that holiday sales are up 3% over last year's numbers during the same Thanksgiving period. How could this be? Obama said this is the worst economy since the Great Depression.

Walmart in the Crosshairs: Ready, Aim, Fire

It's officially the holiday season, and with little doubt, Christmas shoppers will head to Walmart for low costs and lots of savings. While I haven't always agreed with Walmart philosophically, they have become a vital part of our economy by providing consumers with conveniences that might not have been affordable without Walmart.

This holiday season may be the last in which you can take advantage of these savings. Walmart faces the dangers of unionization. This threat will increase now that Democrats are in power.

Members within the Democratic party support an open union ballot. Currently, employees have the right to vote for unionization through closed paper ballots. This prevents mob like tactics that bully employees and the repercussions for an employee who casts a nay vote. An open ballot would cause unions to spread like California wild fires throughout businesses everywhere and especially Walmart.

We should be very thankful when the economy is slow that Walmart still provides the necessities of life, clothes, food, and toilet paper, at prices that help consumers get through tighter times. An open ballot places these prices in jeopardy. The Democrats ran on the economy, and this clearly is another issue they fail to understand. Force Walmart in to unionizing, and the prices will go up further slowing the economy.

I was told that an entry level person at Walmart, who works his or her entire career at Walmart, would make as much as the CEO makes in two weeks. A lifetime of work versus two weeks in the executive suite -- this is not America, this is not fairness, this is not the basis of a strong middle class that is essential for our democracy. We must change that in our country. Nancy Pelosi

Unionizing has become the rallying cry for Democrats like Pelosi, who use Walmart to spread their class warfare rhetoric. They are on the outside looking in. I know people who started in entry level positions at Walmart that are doing quite well after working their way up in the company, even without a union. Democrats have successfully demonized Walmart. Do a Google search if you don't believe me. If they win this battle, the cost of living will rise drastically.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/30/2008)

I'm afraid that I have to confess to you that one of the sins of government, and one with which we must deal and never be completely successful with, and this includes our own government, is that the bureaucracy once created has one fundamental rule above all others: preserve the bureaucracy. June 1, 1988.

If the Economy is so Bad, Why is Steve & Barry's Filing Bankruptcy?

I think the fact that Steve & Barry's clothing stores have filed bankruptcy is solid sign that the economy isn't on the brink of collapse. As strange as that statement sounds, a store like Steve and Barry's (S&B) should flourish in a famished economy, and stores like Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Nordstroms, and other high-end stores should be suffering.

I first discovered S&B a couple of years ago when they began opening stores in the Chicagoland area. Nothing in the store was over $6.97. I stocked up on sweatshirts and t-shirts, and I even tried a pair of their jeans out. I walked out with more clothes for a $100 than at any other time in my life.

If the economy is as bad as they are making it out to be, wouldn't you think parents would be forced to shop at places like S&B, but apparently the economy isn't nearly that bad. That's why S&B is bankrupt and the stores that over sexualize teenagers like Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch are still chugging away. Have you seen their prices? How about their quality?

Perhaps the economy is bad, but this generation of parents still haven't learned to say no. Time will tell.

A Reagan Quote of the Day Extra

I found this video today on the Can you be a Part of My Life? blog. In times where Democrats like Joe Biden are defining patriotism by the amount of taxes you pay, where Americans trample a janitor at Walmart to save a few bucks on Christmas presents, and where trivial issues divide us when we should be unified for the defense of our Constitution and our country, we should review these words of Ronald Reagan to remind us what America is.



Reagan had the wisdom to warn us of the days to come, and he was right. Take the time to listen to his message and spend a lifetime applying it to your life and your family's life.

God bless you Ronald Reagan.

I Dream, You Lead

If anyone had any doubt that Barack Obama was just clever packaging delivered with a few catchphrases, those doubts should be erased. The insight he shared about himself during his day before Thanksgiving press conference proved everything that I have known about him to be correct. From W.E.B. DuBois veil to Martin Luther King's Dream, black leadership has been dependent on symbolism. During the campaign, symbolism over substance directed the Obama campaign to victory. Weeks after the election, we know now that Obama doesn't lead, he dreams and has visions--symbolism over substance. Obama's vision is nothing more than veil that masks his lack of leadership.

But understand where the -- the vision for change comes from first and foremost. It comes from me. That's my job. Barack Obama, November 26, 2008

There are so many items you could point out with this arrogant statement. The first, and most importantly, Mr. Obama fails to understand the vision comes from hardworking Americans who invest in the American dream to achieve greatness for themselves which transfers to greatness for the country. The President's job is not to force his vision on us. His job is quite limited. It's his job to get out of the way, and allow freedom to inspire people to be their best. The vision of change should come from every one of us, not Obama.

Even more alarming, is how it seems that Obama is passing off his responsibilities to lead. In this statement, it's as if he's saying I see an America that is economically strong, but to get there, I am passing my responsibilities off on others, so I can continue to have these Utopian dreams. He says it's his team's job to fulfil his vision. In reality, it's supposed to be the other way around. His team is should provide him with factual information, and he should make the tough choices based on their findings.

Love him or hate him, George W. Bush led, at least until he started his own socialist movement through the work of Henry Paulson. He received advice and made tough decisions throughout his Presidnecy, even if they were unpopular. I get a far different picture of Obama what the Obama Presidency will be about. I dream. You lead.

The truth is the less Obama dreams and his group of Washington insiders tinker, the better off the economy will be. Obama's narcissistic visions threaten our free-market economy whose foundations are strong enough to heal themselves, even if the Big Three fail and a few banks falter.

The government is now regulating responsibility. There was a time when bad business practices, poor quality, and bad decisions had a price to the business. Now they have a price to the taxpayer. This second guesses the power of the markets. Many people are concerned about the Big Three going under, but they never look to see if there is a bright side if they do fail. Similarly, Obama's dreams and visions are only bright if the government has it's hammers and wrenches out hoping to fix things. If Obama was a real leader, he would allow this to run its course and place the government tool bag back in the shed.

Now, we have insight on how Obama will run his office. I hope during the next four years, he gains wisdom beyond a vision he passes off to others.

With Americans in the lead, entrepreneurs have created a global electronic network, on-line 24 hours a day, sending capital, ideas, goods, and services around the world at near the speed of light. January 11, 1988

The Reason for the Season has Nothing to do with Violence

Walmart advertised an Xbox 360 combo with guitar hero for $199. This led to a rush of shoppers in the Camdenton, MO, Super Walmart at five this morning. A man and a woman grabbed the last Xbox combo. The man fought it from the woman and broke her wrist and then walked away without the decency to ask if she was okay. I think most of know what the right thing would have been, but this guy obviously is lacking some manners. Apparently, he forgot the reason for the season.

So Congress Gives the Big Three the Dough, But...

A strange thing happened earlier this summer. Gas prices rose to some of the highest prices seen in this country's history. Higher gas prices slowed down the auto industry. Many cars sat on the lot. Trucks and SUVs experienced the curse of under 20 miles per gallon and sat dealers' lots throughout the summer. Smaller cars sold, and that's a problem. Trucks and SUVs are where the largest profits are made--not small economy cars. So Congress gives the Big Three to dough, but what happens next summer when gas prices rise again?

Sure, gas prices are down now. In southwest Missouri, gas is marked $1.51 a gallon. I am enjoying it while I can. In two months, Obama runs the show, and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will compete for attention. When America elected a Democratically controlled federal government, they insured gas prices will remain high. I bet they will reach levels that make us wish for last summer's prices. I predict you will see $6 a gallon at the pump.

Remember, Obama wants to label carbon dioxide a dangerous pollutant. Pelosi has invested in windmill technology and she wants cars off the road. If the Democrats continue their anti oil policies, the auto bailout amounts to nothing more than a bandage on an oozing wound. When fuel prices begin to soar next year, cars and trucks will once again sit on lots. Come next fall, the automakers will be right back to where they started--in trouble.

Of course, Pelosi's plan is to force the automakers to make cars we don't want and don't meet our needs. This is not going to solve the issues facing Detroit. These cars have always provided the automakers with little profit. Have you noticed lately the attacks on the SUV now includes the pickup truck? The family car won't be far behind now. Enjoy the days you have left of taking your entire family on vacation in the family car. Those days are numbered.

Congress will bailout the automakers, but they won't provide an immediate solution to the energy problems that plagued the industry. Detroit faces more than just solving UAW wages, benefits, and pensions, it must deal with the insanity of government and the self interest within. That's two strikes. It's a full count, and the next pitch will be perfectly placed in the strike zone. Makes you wonder who's at bat, doesn't it?

I Have so Much to be Thankful For

America gives every one of us opportunities to achieve and become successful. My American path shines, but also has had it's times where I have had to tighten the belt and push myself to get to the next stage without much choice. Now I have that choice to tighten my belt and push myself not to just the next stage, but to stages much higher.

They tell us the economy is weak; yet, opportunities continue to present themselves giving me the opportunity to learn and fine tune my skills. For this I am thankful. I recently saw an online store that I designed go live and start receiving orders. Others that are connected to me also are finding new ways to step up in what they call the worst economy since the great depression. (I am not buying into this, because I saw how the Carter administration destroyed the economy.)

I have a great job as a technical writer (please check out my new Web site and let me know what you think). My employer provides beyond what any employer is expected to provide. We have a fitness facility and a personal trainer on staff, a break room complete with two plasma televisions, Wii, shuffleboard table, and comfy leather furniture. If we meet our goals this year, the whole staff is going on a Caribbean cruise. Once again, I am thankful and most of this developed during 'the worst economy since the Great Depression.'

Today my family will come together for Thanksgiving. I am thankful that we are healthy and able to come together and nourish our bodies with a table full of food. The way the mainstream media talks, you would think we would be in soup lines.

America is still the place people from all over the world come for opportunity and freedom. It's hard to think of what life would be like without America. I see the possibility of that happening as we carelessly allow people to walk all over our Constitution which guarantees our freedoms. I see that possibility when we don't take the threats of the world around us seriously, and dismiss a leader, sworn to an oath to protect us from enemies, promise to cut defense spending and missile defense. I see that as we continue to borrow money to bailout companies who no longer benefit our country--but burden it.

We do have a lot to be thankful for today. Most importantly we need to be thankful for our way of life. We need to realize that in 2008, our way of life is fragile and it's under the threat of both internal and external forces. We need to work on insuring that Thanksgiving day is something we pass on to many generations, and I am not just talking about eating turkey. I am talking about the truth of Thanksgiving. The truth that individual efforts, not collectivism, made the Pilgrims a better society and that message continues today.

Giving Thanks: The True Story of Thanksgiving

By Jennifer James November 23, 2008 LA Times

It was Thanksgiving, and for the first time our whole family was together. Mom and Dad had to drive all night just to get here, but boy was it worth it! The Grandsters really know how to do it up right. The Grandsters being Grandpa and Grandma. We were all seated at the table, and I couldn't wait to dive into those mashed potatoes and gravy. And the smell of the turkey -- I thought I was going to faint with happiness."What's that, Mindy?" demanded my little cousin Sam. He can be such a pain. He is 8 years old, two years younger than I am.

"What's what?" I asked.He pointed to a little paper cup containing just three kernels of corn beside Grandpa's plate. I opened my mouth to answer and then realized I didn't know. Ugh! How I hate admitting that I don't know something!Grandma answered, "It is to pay tribute to the Pilgrims."

"But why three kernels?" asked the always curious Sam. Give it a rest, I thought.Grandpa answered, "It reminds me of what a tough time the Pilgrims had. In the beginning, three kernels of corn was each person's daily food ration."

The table got real quiet after he said that.Grandpa continued, "Against all odds, they made a life for themselves in the wilderness. Let's talk more about it after dinner."

Sure enough, dinner was over and Sam wanted to know more." Squanto taught the Pilgrims to grow corn!" Sam exclaimed. He's never going to forget that -- he played Squanto in the Thanksgiving Day play at school.

"That's right," Grandpa said. "But at first the Pilgrims were terrified of the Indians, as they called them. Then one day a tribesman named Samoset ventured into their encampment. He was tall and dark and by many accounts quite handsome. Loudly and plainly he proclaimed, 'Welcome!' in perfect English."

"The Pilgrims must have freaked!" shouted Sam.Grandpa laughed and agreed. "I'm sure you're right. He had learned the language from English fishermen. For the Pilgrims, life was a constant battle for survival.

Later, Governor William Bradford made a decision. Instead of the colonists sharing their crops equally, he assigned a parcel of land to each family and told them they could keep whatever they produced for themselves."

"Then what happened?" asked Sam."

At last the Pilgrims began to prosper. Governor William Bradford wrote in his book 'Of Plimoth Plantation,' 'This had very good success, for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.' "

"Shoot! If you can keep everything you make, of course you're going to work harder. Everybody knows that."Grandpa answered, "The first seed had been planted for the American Revolution. People were free to practice their religions as they saw fit and were free to keep the fruits of their labor.

This had never happened before in the history of mankind. In the words of William Bradford, 'As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation.' ""That William Bradford sounds like a pretty cool guy," said Sam."He was a pretty cool guy," Grandpa said with a chuckle.

Obama Admits he Looks to Washington for his Brand of Change

Do you think the Kool-Aid drinkers feel the slightest bit of betrayal yet?

From today's news conference, we see Obama looks to Washington insiders to bring about change. WOW! It's so obvious, and something tells me they still won't get what Obama is all about.

Q And finally, you were talking about changing Washington. Your campaign was that. Paul Volcker has been around a long time. Tom --

PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: Paul, Paul, I think that's an insult there. (Cross talk.)
(Chuckles.)

Q He's very highly respected, I want to add -- very highly -- very wise man. But --
PAUL VOLCKER: I haven't been in Washington for a while. (Chuckles.)

Q But sir, you talked about John McCain was going to come back to Washington if he won, and it would just move people into different chairs. You've got Tom Daschle, Hillary Clinton, Bob Gates --
PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on! Hold on!
Q -- we hear, anyway. We hear. So --

PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: You hear that.

Q Right.

PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: So the -- first of all, that's not the topic. We're not talking about my Cabinet, because I haven't made those appointments yet. And I'm happy --

Q So can we talk about Paul Volcker? He's been around a long time. So it's -- he's somebody who knows the ways of Washington. But what do you say -- you know, say to your supporters who were looking for change?

PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: Actually, Paul Volcker hasn't been Washington for quite some time, and that's part of the reason he can provide a -- a fresh perspective.
Austan Goolsbee, from my -- my understanding, you've never worked in Washington?

AUSTAN GOOLSBEE: Yeah. I've been on vacation --

Q So he was chairman of the Fed.

PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: This is about a -- this is -- this -- this -- this is about as fresh a face as you can get. (Chuckles.) Although -- well, that's all right. (Laughter.)
Look, let me take the questions in turn.

Number one, with respect to the details of the economic plan, as I've said before, we are going to be working over the next several months to put those details together. I've described for you the framework within which we are going to put that -- that legislation forward. We're going to have a strong stimulus, a(n) economic recovery plan that is designed to put people back to work. That's priority number one.

It is going to be large enough to jump-start the economy. That is what I talked about on Monday.

On Tuesday, I talked about the fact that we are going to have to pare back on programs that do not work. And I -- I think would hardly be expected to provide you a detailed list now; that's why I have Peter Orszag, our budget director, who's going to be going through that budget page by page, line by line. And the expectation is, is that we will identify those programs that are not working, make sure that those are eliminated, and put money into programs that do work, around things like health care modernization, making sure that we've got the first-class schools that our kids need in order to compete in the 21st century, start putting a down payment on a new energy economy.

When it comes to the people that we've pulled together -- because I know this has been sort of conventional wisdom floating around Washington -- that, well, you know, there's a recycling of people who were in the Clinton administration, although Paul dates before that, the last Democratic administration that we had was the Clinton administration. And so it would be surprising if I selected a Treasury secretary who had had no connection with the last Democratic administration because that would mean that the person had no experience in Washington whatsoever. And I suspect that you would be troubled and the American people would be troubled if I selected a Treasury secretary or a chairman of the National Economic Council at one of the most critical economic times in our history who had no experience in government whatsoever.

AIG CEO to Work for $1 Next Year: It's Time for our Leaders to Step up to the Plate

The truth of the matter is that we are in trouble...It's time to be patriotic, Kate (Katie Couric). It's time to jump in. Time to be part of the deal. Time to get America out of the rut. - Joe Biden on the campaign trail, 2008.

On my way to work today, I heard Obama tell Barbara Walters that CEOs need to cut their own salaries and bonuses. He continues to state that CEOs who lay off workers need to feel some of the pain too. Well Mr. Obama, Edward Liddy of AIG has agreed to work for $1 until the end of 2009. (Of course, Mr. Obama doesn't plan on laying of people in the government. He plans on hiring to produce a bigger government)

Everywhere, I look, it appears that the United States is deeply troubled by it's current business operations, please look at the government as a business for a moment. CEO Obama, CFO Biden, and the board members known as Congress has mismanaged our great company (country) for far too long. They are going to ask (force) the tax payers to bail them out. So, why don't they do the 'patriotic' thing and follow Mr. Liddy's footsteps and agree to work for $1 until this mess is cleaned up? It's time to jump in, Joe, and be part of the deal of the deal to get America out of the rut. The mismanagement of Washington has cost Americans far too much, and you all should lower you salaries to $1.

The Absurdity of the Fairness Doctrine

Sitting back in the heartland and observing what goes in Washington, you quickly realize something horribly goes wrong with our Representatives when they step off that airplane and walk the Capitol steps. Perhaps, its the Washington air, or maybe it's in the water. Whatever it is, it affects the brain power of people that actually seemed to show some intelligence before they left (of course there are exceptions to this rule--Nancy Pelosi--liberalism is substituted for intelligence in districts like San Francisco).

The Fairness Doctrine requires media sources like radio to balance their programming with equal views. Take for instance, if a radio station broadcast Rush Limbaugh, who brings in large amounts of revenue for the station, they have to give someone who didn't generate ratings, like Al Franken, equal time. What certain politicians hope for is that the stations who air shows like Limbaugh's lose revenue to a show like Franken's, and they eventually get sick of regulation and move to safer programming. In essence, it's censorship without an iron fist.

To show how absurd this is, we have come up with some possible Fairness Doctrine scenarios:

• Under the Fairness Doctrine, theoretically you should get an hour of Jesus balanced by an hour of Satan.


• National Football League games will have to share the spotlight with the local Pee Wee League.


• An hour of Mozart gets matched with an hour of Metallica


• An hour of Reverend Jeremiah Wright should be paired with an hour a Grand Dragon(Robert Byrd where are you?), but there would probably be a clause written to prevent Reverend Wright from participating under the Fairness Doctrine.


• An hour of eating healthy programming is followed by the Ronald McDonald radio hour.


• Christmas programming would just be deleted because it's so offensive according to this politically correct world. (By the way, I think a great way to offset this is ask to see a manager anytime a paid employee wishes you Happy Holidays. Just let the manager know that you celebrate Christmas and that you were offended and the generic greeting the employee delivered.)


• Mancow Muller would just be set aside for further review since he believes that both the Republicans and Democrats are off track. (He tends to be on the right side.)


• Robin Givens would be forced to give up her position on the Howard Stern show to Oprah Winfrey.


• Sean Hannity is forced to true exile. (Dear Leader Chairman Obama has his number.)

The Fairness Doctrine sounds absurd when you think about what it's supposed to do, but I assure you it has some serious consequences that will dig into the First Amendment. It will be abused to shut the mouths of political opponents. Keep an eye out for it in the early days of the Obama administration.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/26/08)

The Peace of Mind Letter Campaign: The Obama Birth Certificate

As December 15 approaches (the day the electoral college meets), there is more discussion about the birth place of Barack Hussein Obama. Kenyan leaders and Obama's grandmother have been quoted that Obama was born in Kenya. If so, he is not eligible to be President.

The leaders of this country owe the American people the peace of mind. I myself, do not understand why Obama hasn't come forward with a physical birth certificate to clear this matter. Sure, they produced an electronic scan of a birth certificate for the election, but ask any female celebrity, and they will tell you Photoshop created pictures of them that they never posed for or wanted on the Internet. They can easily do the same thing with a birth certificate.

If the Obama birth certificate concerns you, and if you know that the sanctity of our Constitution is in danger if we allow a man or woman who isn't qualified into office, then simply cut and paste the letter that I recently sent to Roy Blunt, Congressman of the seventh Congressional district of Missouri, and send it to your Congressman.

Here's the letter:

Dear Mr. Blunt,

I tend not to follow conspiracies, but there is an issue that concerns the sanctity of our Constitution, a document I once took an oath to protect. I am sure you are aware of the Obama birth certificate discussions taking place around our country. We owe it to ourselves to be certain that Mr. Obama holds the qualifications the Constitution lists to be President. Our Constitution has taken a few blows in recent years, and I feel it’s time to speak up before it suffers a blow it may not recover from. If Mr. Obama produces a legal birth certificate that proves he is a natural born citizen of the United States, then he is owed the oath of office. If a birth certificate doesn’t exist or is a forgery, the leaders of both parties swore on the Bible to protect the Constitution, and Obama must not be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Members of Congress owe the people the United States this peace of mind. Our country can’t afford the regret of not upholding the United States Constitution.

Sincerely,

Clayton Bowler

Russian Predicts Breakup of the United States

I told you the bear was back. They think they never even have to fire a shot. Be sure and thank Pelosi for keeping us dependent on foreign oil, and the rest of the democrats for demanding easy credit in exchange for votes. Obviously, Pelosi hasn't studied the Russian economy. Remember, Obama is taking us down the wrong path with higher taxes and more government. BTW, it's interesting he made this prediction first when Bill Clinton was president.

From the Russian News Source 11/24.2008

MOSCOW, November 24 (RIA Novosti) - A leading Russian political analyst has said the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for collapse, and will divide into separate parts.

Professor Igor Panarin said in an interview with the respected daily Izvestia published on Monday: "The dollar is not secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche, even though in the early 1980s there was no debt. By 1998, when I first made my prediction, it had exceeded $2 trillion. Now it is more than 11 trillion. This is a pyramid that can only collapse."

The paper said Panarin's dire predictions for the U.S. economy, initially made at an international conference in Australia 10 years ago at a time when the economy appeared strong, have been given more credence by this year's events.

When asked when the U.S. economy would collapse, Panarin said: "It is already collapsing. Due to the financial crisis, three of the largest and oldest five banks on Wall Street have already ceased to exist, and two are barely surviving. Their losses are the biggest in history. Now what we will see is a change in the regulatory system on a global financial scale: America will no longer be the world's financial regulator."

When asked who would replace the U.S. in regulating world markets, he said: "Two countries could assume this role: China, with its vast reserves, and Russia, which could play the role of a regulator in Eurasia."

Asked why he expected the U.S. to break up into separate parts, he said: "A whole range of reasons. Firstly, the financial problems in the U.S. will get worse. Millions of citizens there have lost their savings. Prices and unemployment are on the rise. General Motors and Ford are on the verge of collapse, and this means that whole cities will be left without work. Governors are already insistently demanding money from the federal center. Dissatisfaction is growing, and at the moment it is only being held back by the elections and the hope that Obama can work miracles. But by spring, it will be clear that there are no miracles."

He also cited the "vulnerable political setup", "lack of unified national laws", and "divisions among the elite, which have become clear in these crisis conditions."

He predicted that the U.S. will break up into six parts - the Pacific coast, with its growing Chinese population; the South, with its Hispanics; Texas, where independence movements are on the rise; the Atlantic coast, with its distinct and separate mentality; five of the poorer central states with their large Native American populations; and the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong.

He even suggested that "we could claim Alaska - it was only granted on lease, after all."
On the fate of the U.S. dollar, he said: "In 2006 a secret agreement was reached between Canada, Mexico and the U.S. on a common Amero currency as a new monetary unit. This could signal preparations to replace the dollar. The one-hundred dollar bills that have flooded the world could be simply frozen. Under the pretext, let's say, that terrorists are forging them and they need to be checked."

When asked how Russia should react to his vision of the future, Panarin said: "Develop the ruble as a regional currency. Create a fully functioning oil exchange, trading in rubles... We must break the strings tying us to the financial Titanic, which in my view will soon sink."

Panarin, 60, is a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has authored several books on information warfare.

Tex Mex is Out: The New Flavor of Washington

Tex Mex is out. In 2001, fluff pieces described how salsa would season the Capitol city as the Bushes came to Washington. It was the best the liberal media could do to replace the George W. Bush 'stole' the election stories during Inauguration Day. This year there won't be stories on Chicago deep-dish pizza, Italian beef sandwiches, Vienna Beef hot dogs, Chicago chop houses, Ugali (the national dish of Kenya), fried chicken, or watermelon. For 2009, the new flavor in Washington has a much greater calling.

In 2000, the new word of the day for the media was gravitas, which means substance. Bush lacked gravitas, even after spending nearly two terms as Texas governor. The new flavor of Washington comes seasoned with even less gravitas. The media, who lack gravitas, won't feature Obama soft news on January 20. They have a Presidency to create, and you can be sure they will continue comparing Obama to other great Presidents. (I would say you can add Franklin Roosevelt to that list, but FDR was a failure. We know the results of the New Deal.) They will report how strong, forceful, determined, and Presidential Obama looked. They will exit stage 'left' and begin directing the most scripted Presidency in the history of our nation. Chris Matthews for the Academy Award?

National Endowment of Laziness: Your Tax Dollars at Waste

College teaches you a wide-variety of knowledge, of which a few topics they didn't intend. For the most part, I enjoyed college. I was the conservative minority that tried to rock the boat at first, especially in my polisci class, who soon learned which battles to fight and which battles to let go. It's amazing how much control liberal professors hold over your grades!

As much as I enjoyed college, I hated it at the same time. I hated this idea of a well-rounded education that forced students to pay for classes that fell short of their career goals. This occurs during the general education requirements period, and it can lead into your degree program. My degree program required that I take six hour of liberal arts, so I decided I would experiment with poetry.

For three hours a week, I would sit in a circle with some of the most whacked-out, drug influenced, liberal minds, and listen to them experiment with words to describe their pseudo human drama that only a 19-year old knows. I felt out of place.

Leading the circle was a man named Burns. His curly reddish brown hair and mustache screamed counterculture hippie who never got beyond the bonds of university life. Cute little verses don't have a place for many outside of college or Hallmark. And the few that do HOWL turn my stomach with their antiAmerican rhetoric. It was going to be a long 16 weeks.

I skipped class when I could. Misery would consume me on the days that I had to read what I had wrote. Burns scolded me for skipping class, demanded that I read Alan Ginsberg, Gertrude Stein, and others who just complained about life in America. I trudged forward.

I never exposed myself to the arts before this class. The height of most American artist these days is when American taxpayers fund them through the National Endowment of the Arts. Burns day came, and he announced it to class. What he announced was even more eye opening.

I don't have to tell you that teaching a college poetry class is more play than it is work. When Burns announced the grant would allow him to take a couple semesters off to work on his poetry (at the expense of taxpayers), I wanted to say something. When he announced that he would be able to buy some needed kitchen appliances, I tried to scream, but held back on the account of my grade. After all, I skipped half the classes. I didn't need my third strike.

The American taxpayer funded my poetry teacher's Best Buy purchase. Unbelievable!

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/25/08)

In America, our origins matter less than our destination, and that is what deocracy is all about. Republican National Convention, August 17, 1992

Poor Peggy Joseph

Sirius news is reporting that Obama will announce today that his economic plan will not include an increase in taxes on the rich. Which makes me think of poor Peggy Joseph. She was all excited that Obama was going to redistribute wealth so she no longer has to worry about her mortgage and putting gas in her car. How is her mortgage and gas going to get paid for now?




Update 1:48 Eastern Time: According to Rush Limbaugh, a media source asked about a tax increase for the rich during the Obama press conference today. Limbaugh said that Obama didn't answer the question directly. I guess there is hope for Peggy Joseph.

One Clinton Advisor will be Missed for not Making the Obama Recycled Variety Show

Everyone has noticed the familiar names from an administration gone by that's lining up to make the Obama administration. There is one name that is absent and probably will remain absent--Dick Morris.

If there is a bright spot in the Clinton Presidency, it was Morris. Morris is responsible for keeping Clinton from going to the far left. In fact, Morris pulled him to the right and single handedly made President Clinton successful.

Shortly after Clinton's inauguration, Hillary went to work at a frantic pace to nationalize health care. Hillary's health care blunder was confusing and would have grown government at an alarming rate while taking over the best health care system in the world. The nation fought against the reforms, and Congress failed to pass the 1,000 plus page bill.

Janet Reno abused her power and controversially invaded the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas. The raid killed 76 people, of which 21 were children.

In 1994, voters sent their disapproval to the Clinton Administration and a Congress full of scandals, electing the first Republican Congress in 48 years. Shortly after, Morris convinced Clinton to adopt typical Republican issues as his own.

Dick Morris managed to get the President's ear, and much of the policy craziness that Clinton and his inexperienced cabinet were responsible suddenly changed. From the moment Morris began to influence the President, his poll numbers went up and the Clinton Presidency was palatable. Clinton continued to get himself into messes, that usually included women, but what got him in more trouble was he lied about the women in court. A simple fact liberals still argue against.

Morris helped the President move to the right side for two major issues, welfare reform and a crime bill that increased officers on patrol by 14%. These were solid achievements that probably wouldn't have happened had Morris not served as Clinton's top adviser.

Clinton Chief of Staff Leon Panetta once said of Clinton on the subject of Morris, "I always had the feeling that the president wanted to listen to the dark side, even though he clearly knew in his guts where the issues were and what he wanted to do."

Of course Morris saved the Clinton presidency and was the reason Clinton won reelection. Morris probably saved a lot more than Clinton's hide as well. Convincing Clinton to move to the right saved the economy throughout most of his eight years. Most people forget the economy was slowing down towards the end of the Clinton presidency--more than likely the result of the Clinton tax increases.

As of today, a Dick Morris figure hasn't shown up in the future Obama administration. The media has pointed out that this is starting to look like Clinton's third term, but what they forget is how influential Morris was. He had Clinton's ear and he is missing in the Obama lineup. This should alarm you, because Morris was able to hit the breaks and keep things from going too far to the left. We can only hope that there will be a Morris figure in the Obama administration.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/24/08)

There's been some criticism, however, that we don't have a definite foreign policy, that we haven't been doing enough about that, and that's not true. Just the other day, before he left for China, Al Haig sent a message to Brezhnev that said, "Roses are red, violets are blue, stay out of El Salvador and Poland too." June 12, 1981

Republican leaders could learn a lot from the way Reagan handled the media; and perhaps, this similar message should be sent to Vladimir Putin.

Forty Three and Forty Nine

In 1992, Bill Clinton won the Presidency with 43% of the vote. Four years later he failed to achieve a majority in his bid for reelection. He received 49% of the vote against Bob Dole. Considering he never reached a majority, the Clinton name has been far too influential in American politics. From Governor of Arkansas, to the White House, to the Senate, and now(according to the Irish Times) Secretary of State, no other American politician has done so much with so little. Bill and Hillary have an amazing longevity considering these facts and a long record of betraying the public's trust. Amazing, huh?

Sunday Fun: Where's Waldo?

Hannah Montana: Dumbing Down the Future of Americans

Parents, it’s time to remove your kids from in front of the Hannah Montana show, as well as other shows that have no substance. Hannah Montana teaches kids good consumerism—not good civics. America is now paying the price for mind-numbing television shows that teach buy, buy, buy. When I was a child and children before me, shows taught. I am not talking about liberal PBS shows like Sesame Street. I am talking about shows kids wanted to watch. When I was a kid, they at least tried to teach you something about civics--remember Schoolhouse Rock?

The How Obama Got Elected Web site should alarm you. It shows the crummy results of our schools, our biased media, and years of watching mind-numbing American Idol type programming. Millions of Americans voted this election without any clue how the government works, who controls Congress, and basic American history that I understood as a young teenager. Except for Mr. Bill Jeffries, my history teachers weren't qualified to teach.

Kids obviously are not taught skills needed to critically think. Want an example? Try this:

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."-Barack Obama

College kids on the campus of University of California, Berkeley and on other liberal communes dedicated to the higher education obviously objected the war in Iraq and the military, but they overwhelmingly supports a man whose propaganda machine spits out programs similar to the Hitler Youth program.

Hey college kids, ask for a refund! They are not teaching you the critical thinking skills the college brochure promised.

Parents, you have to do it on your own. The public schools are failing your kids. In San Francisco, they teach kids gay tolerance over American civics. Your kids are indoctrinated, not taught.

Yes, high schools and state-run universities require students to pass a United States Constitution test. The teacher creates the test. This test was already a joke when I took it in 1986 in Mr. Tom Ovitt's American History class-true and false and open book. Ovitt's idea of teaching history was handing out a daily word find of American terms and one for each of the fifty states.

A political science teacher at Aurora University in Aurora, Illinois, teaches there are four branches of government-the executive branch, the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and the bureaucracy branch. I found this out when an ex-girlfriend asked me questions about the four branches of government. I told her there were only three branches. She argued with me and told me there were four. I got the Constitution out and proved to her there were three and told her that this teacher should not be teaching political science. I am sure this is only minor infraction. The unfortunate part was that no one challenged the instructor, of course I wasn't in the class. I would have gone to the deans had she continued to teach this inaccuracy.

You need to turn off the Miley Cyrus show, Spongebob, the Disney Channel and whatever noise prevents your children from realizing the greatness of our founders. You need to teach them this Thanksgiving the real story, which I will post on Thanksgiving Day. (Teach them how it applies to the socialist themes of today.) You need to discuss with your children how unfair taxation led to the American Revolution, and put that in perspective with all the unfair taxes of today. Make sure they understand why we have a Constitution and that it limits government not promotes it. Have them memorize the Bill of Rights and why the forefathers felt they were essential before passing our Constitution. If you don't start teaching your children these important pieces of American history, who will?

If your children stay focused on Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, and whoever the fad of the month is, the liberal entertainment establishment wins by dumbing down your children. This is a dangerous for your child and your country. There is a reason they want to keep everyone fat and stupid. They don't want you to ask questions and they want you to believe the government will take care of you. Each day, our Constitution fades a little more.

Please take a few more minutes and take the Civics Quiz. Be sure to post your score in the comments section. I scored an 85%.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/23/08)

Yes, the deficit doctors have their scalpels out all right, but they're not poised over the budget. That's as fat as ever and getting fatter. What they are ready to operate on is your wallet. May 16, 1983.

Video Shows that Global Warming is Bad Science

This shows all the absurdities of the global warming debate. How can you possibly be serious about the existance of global warming after seeing all the conflicting and silly stories in this video? These stories were propogated by the media and scientists. Enjoy.

The Hidden Cost of the UAW in American Cars

Yesterday, I heard Mark Levin break down the cost of the United Auto Workers to the American consumer. I was startled.

GM pays out $4.6 billion a year in health care costs to workers and retirees. That adds an extra $1200 to the cost of a GM vehicle. Remember who told you that if the UAW went bye bye the cost of cars would go down as well?

The average UAW worker makes $75 an hour in wages and benefits ($130,000 a year), compared to the average American who makes an average of $24 an hour wages and benefits. Non-union Americans who work for Honda and Toyota make an average $21 less an hour in wages and benefits than UAW workers do.

UAW health benefits include:

• Full Medical


• Full Hospital


• Full Surgical


• Full Prescription Drug Coverage


• Durable Medical Equipment (like hearing aids)


• Dental Benefits


• Lasik Eye Surgery

Workers and retirees pay $10 a month for an individual and $21 a month for family. In comparison, health care benefits for Japanese auto makers only add an average of $215 to cost of their vehicles.

UAW workers also receive the following benefits:

• 30 and out contracts - you retire in 30 years with full pension benefits regardless of your age


• Chrysler employees with 15 years in get seven weeks of paid vacation (the average is four weeks in the United States)


• Paid not to work - if your plant closes, the UAW forces the Big Three to continue to pay employees whose names are transferred to a job bank

In 2010, the UAW is backing off some of these benefits to help the Big Three, but it's probably going to be too late. You can't run a business like the Big Three have for so long and expect to be competitive and profitable. The American people have paid the price tag of the UAW for far too long, and we shouldn't be forced to bail them out with our tax dollars.

The Dangers of the Veterans Disarmament Act

George W. Bush signed a blessing for his successor. For Obama, with a frightening record on gun control, the 2007 Veterans Disarmament Act might be the blessing Obama needs to begin disarming bitter, clinging Americans.

Let's review an imporant philosophy before discussing Bush's sin.

The Second Amendment reads: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Our forefathers knew that armed citizens would prevent the government from becoming too powerful and straying off the path of freedom the Constitution insures us. We have a responsibility to bear arms and prepare to for fight for our freedom and liberty. It's just that simple. If you aren't packing, you're not fulfilling your duty.

The Veterans Disarmament Act (VDA) removes gun rights from our most important citizens, those men and women who served in the armed forces protecting freedom. The VDA states that any veteran diagnosed with post traumatic stress syndrome will automatically be listed on the federal gun ban. Up to 140,000 veterans, according to Gun Owners of America, have already been disarmed and/or placed on the registry to prevent ownership of any new rifles, shotguns, or handguns. The act doesn't stop there. Any person who has had a restraining order, handed out like candy on Halloween, or diagnosed with ADHD are banned as well.

I don't have to tell you that pharmacutical companies have influenced the psychologists to increase the diagnosis of ADHD. Parents around the country are guilty of robbing their children of there unique personalities, following the advice of doctors pushing Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, and a whole list of other mind altering drugs. Many of these parents would freak if they found out these kids ever smoked a joint, and yet they allow these drugs to mellow out their hyperactive children.

I have to ask, for those who have served, what keeps the government from going back into the medical records of millions of service men and women? The military offers counseling for depression in its medical facilities. Who is to say the government won't target these former members next? A wife leaves her husband while he is serving overseas, and he sees a counselor. Will that be a red flag? They will abuse this law.

It applies to civilians as well. After scumbag Seung-Hui Cho decided to let loose on Virginia Tech, liberals felt it was the time to restrict our freedoms even further. The VAD, also known as the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007, quickly passed after the shootings. Cho wasn't in the military. He wasn't even in ROTC. He was just a loser who decided to take his own misery out on other students. Once again, we see government disguises bills.

What stops the government from requiring Ted Nugent, for example, to be tested. The Motor City Madman turns 60 next month and has energy unknown to most 60 year olds. Could the government consider Uncle Ted ADHD? I believe it's a real possibility, and it's a possibility for everyone else who has taken the legal road of registering your firearms. How are you going to defend yourself if they are providing the doctors?

The Saturday night before the election, I heard Obama speak. His message to Missouri's bitter clingers was that he was a friend to the Second Amendment. In fact, it was a theme for the night. With Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World's headquarters a mile down the road, Obama knew he was in the heart of gun country. Claire McCaskill begain the pro Second Amendment rhetoric and Obam drove it home. The blind cheered.

I lived in Chicago for 12 years, and never once did I hear this pro Second Amendment rhetoric come from Obama's lips. There is no better city in the United States to fight for the Second Amendment than Chicago. You can apply for a license to buy a gun if you live in the city, but Mayor Richard Daley's iron fist isn't going to stamp approved on the application no matter how stellar your record is. Obama, the Constitutional scholar, never onced challenged Mayor Daley. Some friend of the Second Amendment, right? You didn't even lift a finger, did you Obama?

The polticians posted the signs of change, and we have a responsibility to prepare. We need to understand what the Second Amendment instructs our responsibilities are. We need to join the National Rifle Association, the Gun Owners of American, and other pro Second Amendment lobbies that fight for our rights. Most importanty, you owe it to yourself to follow the instructions of our wise forefathers. They knew politicians fear armed citizens.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/22/2008)

Tax rates are prices -- prices for working, saving, and investing. And when you raise the price of those productive activities, you get less of them and more activity in the underground economy -- tax shelters and leisure pursuits. You in small business understand that you can't force people to buy merchandise that isn't selling by raising your price. But too many in Washington and across the country still believe that we can raise more revenues from the economy by making it more expensive to work, save, and invest in the economy. Remarks to the National Conference of the National Federation of Indpendent Business, June 2, 1983

There's a Bear in the Woods

George W. Bush's single greatest miscalculation in office was looking Vladimir Putin in the eyes believing he understood his soul. After their first meeting, Bush believed Putin to be straightforward and trustworthy. In reality, he has brought the bear out of hibernation.

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Russia has become strong thanks to its oil based economy. At home, our economy has weakened--a slave to foreign oil. Democrats in Congress fight against allowing Americans to drill here, drill now. As our economy sags, and democratic leaders decide windmills and solar power are the solutions, the bear is ready to roar. Russia is rebuilding, and those who doubt there is a new cold war are fools.

Americans haven't paid attention to Putin's nationalization of over 50% of the oil and 89% gas assets in Russia. Putin has placed loyalist and former KGB members to run these assets, and he has been successful in building wealth that didn't exist after the Russian Revolution. Putin has used KGB tactics to seize these assets, including intimidation, harassment, unjustified investigations, and unfair taxation, resulting in the arrest and imprisonment of the owners of these assets. Do you have doubts now ?

British Petroleum learned the hard way not to trust the new Russia. Earlier this year, in a joint effort with Russia's third -largest oil company, BP officials underwent harassment and were forced to flee Russia.

The United States isn't the only place that's regretting poor energy policy. Western Europe is drunk on Russian energy like its vodka. Their security is compromised from the dependence on Russia, and it plays into Putin's goal of rebuilding his CCCP (USSR for you laypersons). Putin isn't fond of the friendships we have developed with former Warsaw Pact nations. He threatened to point missiles at Poland if we set up a missile defense system in Poland. Our eyes should focus on all of Europe. This time it may fall because we allow environmentalism to shape domestic policy allowing unfriendly nations to control oil supplies.

Putin's vision is scary considering they have learned from the mistakes of their failed communist state. As our economy struggles, Russia's focus is on building strength economically, militarily, and through alliances around the world. Obama’s defense policy is flawed for this new world and shows that he doesn't realize the dangers of the awakened bear. Obama wants to cut research into weapons needed to silence the roaring bear. Like it or not, there’s a new arms race coming, and we are forced to play along. Putting off the unavoidable will cost us dearly.

Putin continues to build alliances with known enemies of the United States. Most recently, the Russian Navy ships sailed to Valenzuela. Hugo Chavez looks for military cooperation with Putin, who will resume full power in January. Putin has also agreed to sell Chavez weapons.

In Iran, Putin has supported the Iranian military buildup. Putin warned the west against an attack on Iran, specifically aimed at their nuclear weapons development facility. Both Israel and the United States have let Iran get too far while allowing them time to develop bonds with Putin.

Now we have the rock star President, void of substance in matters of foreign relations and world conflict. His young supporters never lived with the Soviet threat. For all we know, it might not even appear in the revised history books, or it's just a video game reference for them. Communism and totalitarianism are not the buzzwords that they were when I sat in Mr. Jeffries social studies class in seventh grade fearing the reality of The Day After. The world is a dangerous place and real change is happening, but not the change those who don’t understand these buzzwords are ready for.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/21/2008)

“Those who preside over the worst energy shortage in our history tell us to use less, so that we will run out of oil, gasoline, and natural gas a little more slowly. Conservation is desirable, of course, for we must not waste energy. But conservation is not the sole answer to our energy needs.”

Gay Militant Minority Boobs, Proposition 8, the Constitution, and Dr. Neil Clark Warren

I have had enough of these militant minority boobs who threaten the sanctity of our Constitution. In essence, they are nothing more than spoiled children who go ask the other parent when they don't get their way. For years, it's been the environmental boobs. They block energy legislation by holding it up in the courts. They threaten private property rights believing the some bird or bug has more rights than the person who owns the land. They make life hell for the rest of us just trying to live.

Now it's the gays. Let's set things straight. I don't care if you’re gay, but stop thinking you have to announce over every loud PA speaker you come across. I get it. Just as what goes on in my bedroom obviously disgusts you, I don't need to know what goes on your bedroom, bathhouse, or Barney Frank's basement. Can't you just be gay without making a major theatrical drama?

Obvious, gays are following the militant path of the environmental movement. They have learned that judges will overturn the will of the majority. This, my friends, is a dangerous path that leads to the Constitution becoming irrelevant. We can't have that. Our Constitution protects us from power-hungry government officials.

In California, the militant gays have organized protest in the days following the passage of Proposition 8, which bans gay marriages. Since then, militant gays have vandalized churches. Church members have been attacked by gays. I just have to ask, where is the tolerance from the gays? They demanded it from the rest of us? Once again, we see that liberals are not tolerant but hateful and violent.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger opposed Proposition 8. He now supports the gays who want the courts to overturn the will of the majority. It's time for Schwarzenegger to admit he is a RINO (Republican in name only) and put a jackass behind his name. He is failing to defend the Constitution and the will of the majority. Obviously, Mr. Schwarzenegger isn't smart enough to figure out the domino effect that will take place if the courts overturn the results of the election. The minority will have power like never before if this takes place. Our votes and our elections will be worthless, and attorneys will decide elections for us. Maybe we should challenge the legitimacy of the Obama win. I wonder what the liberals would think of that. Mr. Schwarzenegger needs to reconsider his objection and the consequences of it.

Gays keep pushing and pushing to force even the most radical gay lifestyles into the mainstream. Lesbian teachers promote gay life styles to their elementary students in San Francisco schools—including transexualism, transvestitism, etc. This isn’t acceptable for grade school children. Gays want their sin removed from the Bible, in hopes that God won't condemn their souls. God clearly states not to rewrite his words. Gays want to force business owners to run their businesses against their own core beliefs. This recently occurred at eHarmony.

Dr. Neil Clark Warren set up the eHarmony site to promote healthy meetings based on people's compatibility. Dr. Warren is a conservative Christian who promotes his beliefs in these compatibility matches; therefore, gays were excluded from eHarmony.

Gays have plenty of their own all-gay dating sites online, but that wasn't enough. They took Dr. Warren to court forcing eHarmony to accept gay members. If I were Dr. Warren, I would accept the court’s decision but stick to my Christian principles. I would maintain the dimension of a man and woman. "We're sorry, but based on our 29 dimensions; you have no new matches this week. Please try again next week, and thank you for your monthly credit card payment." Beat them at their own game Dr. Warren.

There is a right way and there is a wrong way to find acceptance in society. Blacks have learned the hard lessons of following W.E.B Du Bois radical, forceful approach to equality. Gays should learn from the path blacks went down in this country and fit in with a positive representation of their lives. Spraying graffiti on churches, attacking church members, ripping the Constitution to shreds, and forcing people into court for small victories is only angering the people who you are trying to get to accept you.

You need to come in terms that homosexuality is a sin. Conservative Republicans didn't write the law, God did. If you have problems with it, take it up with him when he reviews your life. Just like I can't overlook thou shall not kill, gays can't overlook the scriptures which are clear about the sin.

The Bible defines what a marriage is. All my life, I have heard how important it is not to have prayer in school because that's crossing over the line of church and state. All my life, I have heard that creationism should not be taught in school because that crosses the separation between church and state. Now you must realize that for the government to redefine marriage is crossing over the boundary between church and state. You can't pick and choose.

I can't continue to watch you destroy our Constitution so you can call your civil union a marriage. Many societies have suffered from brutal governments because basic rights weren't protected. Going to the courts puts our Constitution and our basic rights in jeopardy. What would society be like if we failed to protect the Constitution? You may get your way today, but I am reminded of a man in Germany. Guided by the teachings of Darwin, he committed genocide to those he thought were inferior to his race. There are other examples throughout the world of ruthless dictators who would kill you because of your sexual orientation. Tonight, you better ask yourself, are you willing to risk the sanctity of the Constitution so you can have your way like a spoiled child? What might be the consequences if ever the Constitution is dissolved?

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/20/2008)

I believe we really can, however, say that God did give mankind virtually unlimited gifts to invent, produce, and create. And for that reason alone, it would be wrong for governments to devise a tax structure or economic system that suppresses and denies those gifts. - Remarks at a dinner honoring Congressman Jack Kemp of New York, December 1, 1988.

Economy Sluggish?: The Many Ways Government Keeps it Sluggish

If you are wondering how you are going to manage to get through this Christmas season because your money is tight, take a look at all the ways the government (federal, state, county, and local) penalize or take or steal or rob (you choose) from you.

Oh, and I forgot, the FEDERAL INCOME TAX courtesy of your friends at the Internal Revenue Service.

Americans seem focused on the federal income tax rate when politicians like Obama start talking about an increase in tax rates. When you consider all the rest of the taxes that you may be subject to, it's no surprise that nearly 50% (and for some people more than that) of your labor goes to government in one form or another. It's no wonder the economy is so sluggish. Our money is already gone before we get the chance to invest in the economy, and Obama and the democrats mouths are watering for more. Remember, Obama doesn't have to raise taxes to raise your taxes. The Bush tax cuts expire in 2010, and your taxes are going up without Obama ever proposing anything. This is the dirty little secret of the Obama administration. TAXES will be part of the fall of America.

Walk Where Obama Walked part II

So far the media has compared Obama to Reagan and Kennedy ('the new Camelot,' a theme they attempted with Bill Clinton as well). Where's Lloyd Bentson when you need him? "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

Gateway Pundit is reporting Newsweek is running a story comparing Obama to Lincoln. I told you this was going to happen last week in my blog Walk Where Obama Walked. The press is doing all they can to put a mask on Obama because they wasn't vetted properly during the election, and as Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose stated a couple nights before the election, we really don't know who Barack Obama is. In fear that we will discover what many of us already know (he's an empty suit) they are attempting to attach labels to him in hopes that one sticks. Lincoln is now the latest victim of the Obama guise.

What Al Gore Doesn't want you to Know

During the election, Obama drew little attention for his coming war on carbon dioxide, an essential gas for life on earth. In the coming months, Obama will label CO2 a dangerous gas. Carbon dioxide--plants consume it for photosynthesis. Without plants, we would die. It's just that simple. The government and scientist lie about the cycles of the earth to create new taxes, penalize industry, and fund research.

As I was finishing my degree at Missouri State University, I studied the art of rhetorical skill. My studies would lead me to question the global warming debate beyond what I had heard on my AM dial. It seemed like the perfect way to challenge the liberal classroom establishment in one final showdown. I knew my five straight semesters on the honor roll might end, but I wanted to make the professor question her own beliefs.

I decided to stay away from liberals like Al Gore. He profits from global warming, and I know not to trust him. He's a politician, not a scientist, and not worth bringing up in the debate. I wanted real science--science that broke all these crazy arguments I have heard over the years. All I needed was to find a hole. It didn't take long to find credible evidence to discredit the libs.

Scientific American published that same month an article on mass extinctions. Peter D. Ward describes five periods in the earth's history in which life ended. For many years, scientist believed that meteors were responsible the end of these periods. This is true for one out of the five periods Ward researched. The dinosaurs died from an impact that hit near the Yucatan Peninsula. They know this for three reasons:

• Traces of iridium (common in large space formations) in the fossil layers with concentrated amounts near Chicxulub crater on the Yucatan Peninsula


• The crater itself


• A thin fossil bed representing that life ended quickly (picture two parallel lines an inch apart with fossils embedded in them)

The other four fossil layers were much wider (picture to parallel lines a foot apart with fossil layers). This represented a much slower extinction period. Ward began using modern technology to discover what took place in the other four fossil layers. Ward's discovery shows, as Ward himself put it, "the earth itself appears to become life's worst enemy."

Through new geochemical evidence (chemical fossils) technology, Ward discovered large, concentrated amounts of green sulfur anaerobic bacteria present in the fossil layers. This signals a higher amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. How could that be? There were no signs of American industry in the fossil layers--no sport utility vehicles fossilized. Nope, only the remains of marine and non-marine environments were fossilized.

These nasty little bacteria breathe in CO2 and the exhale sulfur. Here's the kicker, oxygen levels as a whole were much lower during these time periods compared to current oxygen levels today. Today’s higher levels balance the oceans. Wait a minute, when Gore talks you would think he placed oxygen on the endangered species list with the polar bear.

The sulfur bacteria give off is deadly and wreaks havoc on the atmosphere, and except for the Black Sea and some stagnant lakes, conditions today aren’t likely for them to thrive. The increased oxygen in the atmosphere mixes with the oceans creating an environment poisonous to the bacteria.

Now to be fair, if oxygen levels drop in the oceans, these guys could come back. Gore and his cronies aren’t being fair. They never discuss the current measurements of green anaerobic bacteria? Why is that? Because this is an attack on capitalism and not a movement that will ever come close to saving a planet that isn't sick.

On a snowy shut in day that same year, I rented Al Gore's DVD An Inconvenient Truth (the irony-a week out of snow days and it wasn't even officially winter in traditionally mild southwest Missouri). I never once heard him mention a measurement of the green anaerobic bacteria. Granted he was putting me to sleep, but occasionally he angered me enough to open my eyes widely and focus. He just babbled on about CO2 as he took us for a ride in his big car (at least a V-6 maybe a V-8) around his property with his large, energy-consuming house. By the way, his time line conflicted with that in Ward's article. I ask again, why aren’t measurements of these green anaerobic bacteria ever stated in global warming discussions? (To be fair to Ward, his article was on mass extinction and not the concentrations of these nasty bacteria.)

The earth goes through periods of high and low volcanic activity. Over the past several years, we have heard stories of volcanoes awakening. Remember Ward said that "the earth itself appears to become life's worst enemy." The large amounts of CO2 were created by the inner earth exploding mountaintops, venting its volcanic lava to the surface. Obviously with that amount of fire, oxygen would be consumed quickly.

I recalled a front-page story I read. I was on a business trip. I left the Arkansas State Dental meeting in Hot Springs and to drive to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to meet with clients the next day. I decided to take the scenic route through the Ouachita Mountains. (The locals tell me these are the only mountains that run east to west in the United States.) As Arkansas Scenic Highway 9 led to Oklahoma, I noticed I needed gas. I luckily found a small, mountain general store to fill up. Technology hadn't met the gas pumps, so I walked into the store and pay. As I left, the front page story caught my eye. Geologist noticed that temperatures within Mt. Sugarloaf, a dormant volcano in Oklahoma (Yeah, I had no idea either.) were rising at a faster rate suggesting the volcano might be coming back to life. Interesting. If this mountain in Oklahoma is awakening, how many other earthly vents are getting ready to open?

My travels this summer took me to the St. Louis Museum of Science Magic House. I noticed a sign on one of the maze of walls that read, "All the grass along the nation’s interstate highway system produced enough oxygen for 22 million people to breathe." Notice that's just the interstates, not state highway, not US highways, and not county roads and highways. When I would fly on business, most of the time I noticed grass everywhere. Common sense tells me, based on the sign, that grass alone balances the CO2 levels. (I wonder how much longer that sign will stay up once word of this spreads.)

To conclude this, when Al Gore talks, I have never heard him mention current green anaerobic bacteria measurements. Without these, the earth doesn't warm as theorized. Throughout my travels, I have seen so many facts claiming just the opposite of these extreme views.

Scientists once feared comets and other trivial occurrences. The earth goes through periods of warmth. It goes through cold periods. I just wish they would be honest with us, instead of manipulating science for research grants and risking our freedoms and economic power.

By the way, I aced the class.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/19/2008)

My friends, some years ago, the federal government declared war on poverty and poverty won. - January 25, 1988

New Deals and Great Societies don't work Mr. Obama.

My Family's Contribution to the Greatest Generation

They were born Robert Leroy Bastings (Bob) and Harley William Bowler (Bill), children of the depression. Both grew up with a strong work ethic, a love for country, and the reality that life wasn't easy. There wasn't a high school graduation for either, no college to detour service. They both dropped out of school to help their families survive the depression. They would pass these lessons on.

As young men, they shipped to Europe as members of the Army. Bill was one of the first Americans to fight in Europe after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Army gave orders to drop him in France, but the plane received the wrong orders and he wound up in Germany--lost. His platoon reoriented themselves and found an old deserted German brewery, where they stayed safe until the Army managed to get them further supplies and correct their mistake. Luckily, the brewery still contained bier.

In battle, Bill fought the Germans. A bullet grazed his forehead, and a deep scar remained about an inch above his eyes. His cowboy hat covered it well later in life. I always thought it was a wrinkle, but as I grew up and asked to know about the war, my dad told me about the bullet. It's funny when you realize that a half inch more, and I might not be writing this today.

Robert went to London with his orders. I was old enough to discuss the war with him. It usually took place after watching a movie like Empire of the Sun. I was 16 and was working at the Northtown Mall Dickerson Theater. The tickets were my treat. He always told me he had shot a Nazi general. I didn't know if he was pulling my leg or not. He had Nazi ribbons stored in one of his wooden jewelry boxes. They were brass with a swastika on them. I never got too many more details other than that from him. They say they never like talking about it.

He met Molly Griffiths, my grandmother, in London. She told me that when he saw her, he immediately walked over and asked her out. I figure when you face death every day, your courage with women must rise as well. She had promised herself to an Englishman for marriage, but that didn't stop Robert. He pulled the pearls off her neck and told her if she wanted to see them again she would have to meet at this same place during his next leave. She did. Once again, the game of chance that led to my life amazes me. He married her in England and brought her back to the States.

Both these men had a pride in their country that you don't see today. As much as I love America, I can't live up to their sacrifices that they gave to this country. I saw the pride, even as a young child.

In December 1979, our country was going through the worst period that I have ever known. It was far worse than we are whining about today. Iran held Americans hostage. The Carter economy led to high inflation and interest rates so high they nearly stopped the nation in her tracks. On December 22, a young eight-year-old stood with his Grandpa Bowler in a gas station on Kearney Street and US 65 in Springfield, MO. I remember the words my Grandpa told the man at the counter. He was sad about the condition of America at the time. He looked down at me and then told the man that he didn't see much a future for his grandsons with the current direction the country. I sensed his sadness.

We left the gas station, got in his blue Chevrolet pickup truck with a camper shell, and went out and spotted a water well. He had built up B&R Drilling and achieved the American dream without ever finishing grade school.

Luckily, Reagan came along and gave the country direction, but my grandfather would never see the new morning in America. He died two days later. A few months after that, the AMVETs named the local post after him.

I always cherished the time I got with my other grandfather. Losing someone at eight years old made me realize how lucky I was to get a second shot. My Grandpa Bastings was a frugal man. The lessons of the depression taught him to live cautiously knowing that one day it might go bust again. He encouraged saving, hard work, and being honest. I would shrug it off as a young teenager. How could the Great Depression ever happen again? I know now that he knew what he was talking about. Missouri State University didn’t include wisdom like this in their tuition.

He gave himself like no other man I have known--always willing to help someone less fortunate than he. Those lessons he learned as child never left him, and he made good throughout his life.

Their generation will soon be gone, and unfortunately each new generation will hear less of these lessons. This alarms me.

World War II had its critics, all wars do, but the unity of America throughout the war would never be matched again. Americans then realized what was on the line, and they fought hard knowing losing wasn't a choice. Today, politicians build up defeat to gain power without realizing the cost of defeat. That's selfish and it's dangerous, Mr. Harry Reid.

We have become a society of instant gratification through the buying power of plastic, and after we have it, something else possesses us to place that plastic out once again. We repeat the process until one day the card is declined. We try to waive the embarrassment as people stand in line behind us. "I can't believe they didn't get that payment yet."

The interest rates force the balances higher and higher each month as we now struggle to make the minimum payments and try to afford a life priced out of reach. Are you prepared if the stock market was to drop another 2000 points this year? Could you survive if you were forced to give up your spoiled life?

I am not trying to be hard on you, but the America I know, isn't the America my grandfathers knew and fought for. We are spoiled, soft, complacent, and we lack values. We don't stand up for what is right and the core beliefs we believe in like God, country, and family. We allow a minority of extremist liberals in this country to challenge us as they label us as right-wing, Bible-thumping, gun toting nuts (right Obama?). If you don't believe me, look at how out of control California has become.

California voters passed Proposition 8. Now the minority is going to court to overturn the will of the people in hopes that homosexuals can marry. San Francisco schoolteachers force young grade school children to understand and accept alternative lifestyles that go far beyond gay relationships. This is not the America that my grandparents fought for. It's time the silent majority starts shouting above the rooftops, no matter how much the media ridicules us for doing so. Complacency would be a sad reason to lose our country.

The extreme left is becoming more vocal and empowered by each judicial victory. They know their battles are won in the courts where leftist judges legislate from the bench. These judges are ripping the Constitutional parchment without regard to those who fought for it.

If we forget the lessons the greatest generation taught us, we might be telling the next generation what we lost. That would make us the worst generation.

I have never met two prouder Americans than my grandfathers.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/18/08)

There can be no prosperity for people or even freedom for our people if we abandon the competitive economic system that transformed this country into the strongest nation in the world. -1972

Ben Stein's Expelled: Science Versus Freedom

I finally broke down and purchased the Blue Ray DVD player I have been wanting since they came out. They finally broke my price barrier. (I'd rather help the Bush economy than the Obama economy as well.) I bought a DVD player when they first came out around ten years ago, and I paid nearly $600 for it. Never again! Now you can find a basic DVD player for $25.

Obviously, the weekend was spent wanting to experience the near perfect picture and sound of Blue Ray. Last night, I went to the video store and on the shelf was Ben Stein's Expelled. I had heard the advertisements for it on Sirius Patriot, but I had forgotten to go rent it. Tonight, it was mine to watch.

The movie tackles the controversy of Intelligent Design, mainly the concept that scientists don't have the freedom to teach anything but Darwinism in our nation's universities and institutions. Many scientist have been expelled for even touching on Intelligent Design, including scientist doing research at the Smithsonian. I find this alarming considering the effects of bad science on our nation's economy, namely Al Gore's global warming rhetoric which is driving up energy costs and putting our freedoms at risk.

Stein asks, "what is so dangerous about teaching intelligent design?" The word that comes up again and again is Creationism. Intelligent design is the idea that the world is so perfectly formed that the idea of it just being a stellar accident (big bang) is ridiculous. The world had to be thought out by a higher power.

Stein makes the case that Darwinism might be outdated, and then he backs it up with scientists from all over the world that show that Darwin comes up short in many cases. They even animate an example of the engineering of a simple cell, which isn't nearly as simple as they once thought. In fact, it's much more complex. Stein asks if they once thought a simple cell was like a Buick, what do they think now. The scientist replies it's like many galaxies in comparison.

Stein touches on the politics of Darwinism throughout the movie. He is led to a concentration camp in Germany where Hitler applied instant Darwinism to German society. Hitler believed that he could create a superior German race by removing the sick (mentally and physically) from society. Many lost their lives on Hitler's polluted view of evolutionism.

Stein says there is a wall in science that forces science to accept what has been taught by the likes of Darwin, but shows that even Darwin broke walls to advance his beliefs. The wall is now up for political and sociological reasons, and he feels it's his responsibility to try to tear down the wall (as the video parallels Reagan's great speech in front of the Berlin Wall).

I am not a scientist; although, I have written scientific papers during my final year in college. (I have a degree in technical communications, so I do touch on science from time to time.) I couldn't possibly take in all the concepts in Stein's documentary on a Sunday night, and I need to watch it again. When it was over, I was applauding the movie from what I did take in. I plan on watching it again and I will probably buy it. It's the best documentary I have seen since What the Bleep do We Know, which touches on how some scientists are starting to embrace spirituality in their research. As a conservative, I think this is an important movie that shows scientists aren't always of sound minds. You will see that in the interviews with many of the atheist, pro-Darwin scientist. You can now see that scientists are capable of taking capitalist down a rocky road of unproven science that influences government and regulates our industries while weakening the economy.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/17/08)

Private business and industry is the most over-regulated, over-taxed, and under apprciated part of America's society. -1974

Rock 'n' Roll More Responsible than Jackson, Sharpton, and Du Bois for Obama's Win

In an American Literature class, I was fortunate to read selections of Booker T. Washington's Up From Slavery followed by W.E.B. Du Bois The Souls of Black Folk. As I discovered these two black American visionaries, I realized the issues facing black leaders have changed little. Blacks are divided by those who go out and do for themselves, Uncle Toms, and those who depend on self-absorbed civil rights leaders without a real record of advancing race relations in America, the victims. Ater reading these two books, I realized advancements in race occured because of contributions not protests and legislation.

In the years following the 13th Amendment, much debate took place between the beliefs of Washington and Du Bois. Washington took the let's work hard and become productive members of American society approach. He understood that acceptance wasn't going to come overnight. Du Bois took the radical approach of political protest. His veil promotes victimization. Interestingly enough, Du Bois's road led to socialism and eventually communism (scary, huh?). I can't write this any better than Ellis Washington wrote in his essay titled "Du Bois vs. Washington: Old Lessons Black People have not Learned."

The dichotomy between Du Bois and Washington would be that of expediency versus patience; political protest verses self-help; overt activism in the streets verses the quiet assiduousness of personal and moral development in the home; seeking redress of rights in the courts of America for better jobs, schools and educational opportunities versus seeking knowledge in the libraries of America and creating our own jobs, schools, and educational opportunities; forcing Whites to accept us as equals verses showing Whites that we can first treat each other as equals. Such were (and presently are) the choices Black America must choose.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, by choosing Du Bois (the seemingly easy choice; requiring less personal capital) Black people entered a Faustian bargain with the devil which has led them down the road of frustration and pathology. Ninety years after Du Bois and other Whites founded the NAACP in 1909, Blacks are still paying for the sins of their forefathers by following the leadership of Du Bois over that of Washington.

Reading Up From Slavery saddened me. Washington passionately wrote the model for success, and yet, it goes ignored by race baiters like Jackson and Sharpton. They pray that blacks are suffering so they further stuff their bank accounts lecturing and leading protests in the footsteps of Du Bois. Any time a black, such as Clarence Thomas, has walked on the path of Washington, many blacks consider them sellouts to their race.

We know what Obama thinks of Thomas from the debates, and it wasn't celebratory towards breaking another color barrier. Let's celebrate Obama because he is black. Seems like a double standard for me--celebrate the liberal who used the system, protested, and organized but demonize the conservative who did it on his own.

Washington's basic themes were work hard and the contributions that blacks make to society will promote the lives of black Americans in time. He was right. Let's take a look at one of my favorite parts of American culture, Rock 'n' Roll, the music of the black man.

The 1950's were a time that saw our nation’s children begin to rebel with rhythm and blues music rooted from black spirituals and gospel music. White kids noticed these sounds. A phenomenon called rock 'n' roll began to take the nation's airwaves by storm. Rebellious children were dancing dangerously, swaying their hips to the sexually charged beats of the black music. White entertainers like Elvis Presley were singing these same rhythms trying to sound black. This black contribution started to change race relations in the United States.

Whites started to take interest in black culture through music. Entertainers like Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard were selling records to white teenagers faster than the records could be pressed. Unfortunately, not all whites accepted this art form as healthy for our children. Many of these entertainers still had to deal with a color line; however, one could argue that a movement had begun that helped black culture advance in this country. Even though Washington wanted blacks to be known for greater accomplishments than art, it was still start in the right direction.

As a generation passed, more black entertainers expanded the musical movement; which in turn calmed racial tensions. Even Martin Luther King admitted this phenomenon. In 1967, he addressed a group of disc jockeys in Atlanta. "In a real sense you have paved the way for social and political change by creating a powerful, cultural bridge between black and white.... You introduced youth to that music and created a language of soul and promoted the dances which now sweep across race, class and nation."

Du Bois forcing the issues created tensions that still exist today. The familiar names in civil rights leadership still practice these methods.

Pop culture is more responsible for black advancement than any political protest or piece of legislation. The kids who bought these records grew up appreciating black culture and its contribution. These records placed black artists in the mainstream, and this would continue to spread on TV, movies, and sports. The contributions, not the protests and laws, promoted blacks in this country. Booker T. Washington was right. I hope Obama is familiar with Washington's lessons but knowing Obama's past, I am not optimistic.

This is Unification from the Left?: New President, Same Ol' Divide

Barack Obama's primary message throughout the campaign was hope and change through unifying America. Unity is another Obama pathos-based message, and by no means does the message of unity create a great leader. Great leaders exhibit real leadership and unifys through the opportunities presented. Don't believe me? Think back to the days after 9/11. Presidents face challenges, and the leadership of George W. Bush rose the occasion uniting the country. It was never a guarantee, and the terrorist bet that we would remain divided. The message of unity is about as worthless as a beer can that I just practiced the Second Amendment on.

The message of the democrats and the media is that we should come together, unify, and support the president. I am told how presidential Obama looks, and yet I remain unimpressed. Besides, the media has no credibility in my world. They blew it in 1992, and I drove my car proudly with my Annoy the Liberal Media: Vote Bush bumper sticker. Why should I unify behind a man who doesn't share my views and opinions? I do see people falling for this.

A recent approval poll asked Americans do you think Obama is doing a good job? At what I asked? They haven't even sworn him in and they are taking approval polls. Americans will fall for anything these days. Sixty four percent of those who fell in the trap approved of his job. They are so desperate to unify that they are already comparing Bush's numbers to Obama's numbers weeks before Obama should even have approval numbers.

As this unification message spreads over the Alleghenies, down the Ohio River, across the Oklahoma panhandle, into the Rockies, and onward to the left coast, we find the democrats are targeting key officials in the Bush administration. The charges range from harsh interrogation of detainees, the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama, secret legal memorandums from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, to the role of the former White House aides Karl Rove and Harriet E. Miers in firing federal prosecutors.

As a conservative, I will remain divided and oppose my president (My president, that's tough to say now knowing what I know.) than allow these same democrats to spread this pseudo unification message and allow key democrats like Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd to escape the mortgage mess. These democratic programs overseen by the likes of Frank have placed the future of my country and jeopardy and the unifiers want to try Bush over the treatment of war-criminal terrorist scum.

The only plan the Democrats can propose that would even remotely have me considering unification is the trial of Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd, and the rest of the clowns who fell asleep at the wheel of the bank crisis. Democrats and Republicans should unite to find the reason taxpayers are going to be responsible for an over $700 billion mess.

I bet if I took a poll between the two possible suits, an overwhelming number of Americans would want to know who is responsible for the economic collapse of the banks that now threaten our free market economy over how the terrorist thugs were treated. Of course, we are too busy measuring the excitement for Barack Hussein Obama to even consider such a poll.

Tough Times for Conservative Words in the Age of the Fairness Doctrine

A Celebration of William Ayres

Let's celebrate the life of a great American visionary, William Ayres. Mr. Ayres has forever changed the public school systems. What started out as a personal belief that capitalism was unfair, that religion is the source of all evil, that children should not be denied rights to alternative relationships and should start studying homosexual education each year from kindergarten on, Mr. Ayres has improved the nation's schools.

His critics, if they were still around today, would complain that he went too far. I argue that he didn't do enough. His bombs should have blown up every square inch of a Capitol building that represented greed misguided by freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those walls should have crumbled because they represented oppression, and a force in the world that killed innocent women and children from the jungles of Vietnam to the sands of Iraq.

I call on Dear Leader Chairman Obama with all of his greatness and all of his glory to proclaim March 1, the anniversary of the Capitol Bombing, William Ayres Day. Close down the government, give the kids a day off from school, because this is truly a glorious day to remember!

Say Goodbye to Israel

I applaud Dear Leader Obama's decision to rid ourselves of our alliance with Israel. Long have they been the true conflict in the Middle East. The Christian and Jewish religions have been the source of wars throughout the centuries, and now we will finally know what peace is. The doves will soon fly over Jerusalem as the words to Kumbaya echo as the most evil regime in the history of man is defeated by the holy jihad.

Now Dear Leader can unconditionally meet with leaders of Iran, Syria, Palestine, and Lybia to promote peace in the region. I can only hope that in his meetings, Obama redistributes the wealth of our evil, polluting industrial base, so these countries can rebuild from years of Israeli aggression in the region.

Have I opened your eyes yet?

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/15/08)

We are at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it has been said if we lose that war, and in doing so lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well, I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.

Breaking: Barack Obama's Medical Secret Revealed

During the course of the election, the Obama campaign covered up important documents like birth certificates and medical history. I found the explanation why the medical history was very short.




Was he born without soul or did he sell it? This of course will be answered in time. I predict the people that will be most disappointed with the Obama Presidency will be blacks themselves when they discover they don't relate to him and their problems weren't magically solved. Besides, the people I have seen around him to day, don't seem to cross the affirmative action threshold yet.

By the way, this clip is from Amazon Women on the Moon--one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. With the exception of the couple in the golf cart, I felt the clip works.

HILLARY?: The Presidential Power Love Triangle

Mark Levin just announced that Politco.com is reporting Barack Hussein (pronounced insane for this blog) Obama will offer Hillary Clinton the Secretary of State position. With concern for my country, I laugh with caution.

I laugh because with an offer like this, Obama just created the first Presidential power love triangle. That's right, this drama features an all-star cast of democrats who live only for the power the presidency offers.

Topping the triangle we have Dear Leader Chairman Obama. His entire time in the Senate was preparing after one loved by liberals speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. One would think a candidate who transcended barriers never thought possible would enjoy his time alone on the stage, especially after watching him shove his family backstage during his victory speech. Obviously, he made a deal with the devil for the support of one Hillary Rodham Clinton and William Jefferson Clinton. This deal will cost him throughout his presidency as long as she remains in his cabinet. (I am applauding this. Do you know how this is going to keep me and other conservative bloggers busy?)

Introduce Hillary into the team and what do you get? You get one upset woman with a sense of entitlement who was robbed by the black man according to Father Phlager screaming from some Chicago alter alongside Jeremiah Wright. Looking back two years ago, most of us predicted that she would be the one assigning cabinet positions, so this sting must still burn deep within her. Naive Obama doesn't realize how long she longed for his power. Will she run the State Department like she is the president? How could we put that past her?

If you get Hillary, obviously you get Bill too. This makes the triangle complete. Bill 42 never wanted to leave that address at 1600 Pennsylvania, and I am sure on January 20, 2001, he was cursing the term limits set forth after new dealer Franklin Roosevelt was elected four times. Bill thinks his presidency was perfect; even though most of us can't tell you what he did that was so good beyond an attempt at welfare reform. His legacy, as mentioned before, is that of a blue dress. We can count on Bill to stick his nose into business as he legacy rebuilds. He will constantly remind the nation how he could do it better. Bill has already entertained us with pointing us that the Obama campaign labeled him racist (remember author Toni Morrison labeled him the first black President), and that he was heading down to Florida to get the Lawton Child's 'cracker vote.' There more entertainment coming from Bubba.

After days of depression listening to Obama ramble on about his big government programs, he finally dished up something we may consider as a comical blessing. I will enjoy the political tension build between these torn lovers (of power). I should get to work on the sitcom.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/14/08)

Not too long ago two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are! I had someplace to escape to." In that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.

It's Time for the UAW to Go Bye Bye: Unions Make Auto Industry Unprofitable

The United Auto Worker's greed have held the manufacturers and the consumers hostage. The current American auto industry business model is a failure, and to allow it to follow this path and pump billions of dollars into a model that will continue to fail is insanity. I have closely listened to the debates over the past few days, and I have concluded that I would rather see GM, Ford, and Chrysler die this year than watch the death rattle drag on into the next decade at the taxpayers' expense.

Trust me, this hurts me. I love MOPAR. I have watched the maker of such beautiful cars like the '69 Dodge Charger, the '74 Dodge Challenger, the '68 Dodge Hemi Coronet, and of course the new Challenger Hemi SRT8 (Hemi made in Mexico) go through its ups and downs. With the dedication I have for Chrysler (yes I drive a Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible, which was MADE IN MEXICO), the manufacturer doesn't share that same dedication for me, the consumer. Let me explain.

The mismanagement of car companies force huge odds in making profits. The fact the UAW prices its labor and benefits at extreme rates forces the price of these cars higher and higher each year. The average American consumer is left with few options when it comes to buying a new car. With higher prices come higher monthly payments. Loans have gone from 36 months to 72 months to keep these monthly payments affordable. Most American cars don't stand up to the average wear and tear and depreciation of six years forcing many Americans look in another direction.

I have gone down the Japanese road. American tariffs, thanks to UAW lobbyist, have pushed the price tags of these cars up. I felt guilty at first when I bought my first Toyota, but understanding the economics of the American car industry forced my guilt to die quickly. Many of these nonunionized Japanese auto plants have found homes in the United States and provide Americans with good jobs. Most of them are doing well considering the economy. And where is GM, Ford, and Chrysler opening plants to compete? MEXICO, and Chrysler has been in talks with Chery in China to produce a small, fuel efficient model.

Why is it that American car manufactures are moving to Mexico and yet the cost of American cars don't reflect the labor savings? It's simple. The contracts with the UAW are so outrageous that they can't cut cost and pay benefits.

One of the main reasons Daimler sold Chrysler is the cost of the UAW. The union pensions were draining the company. Did you know the bailout is mostly for the UAW to continue to pay benefits?

Frankly, I am tired of being a slave to the UAW. The last two decades have seen price breaks in so many industries for the average consumer, but not in the car industry. I say it's time for Detroit to reinvent itself and say goodbye to the UAW.

If they aren't willing to kiss the UAW goodbye, then good riddance to the Big Three. It's been nice knowing you. You have priced yourself out of my life while lessening the quality of your products.

My friend Rob Z. used to work for GM back in the day. He told me assembly line stories of mischief. A worker on the line might place something in the door that would cause an annoying rattle. After a few cars were reported with the same problem, usually a loose screw or bolt in the door, GM removed the worker from the line. The next day the UAW marched that worker back on the line. That's too much union power.

I once used to fear any of the Big Three going under, and now I see the possibility of all three going under. I say don't give them a dime. They have done this to themselves, and they have failed to reinvent themselves by ridding themselves of the UAW. Simply put, the time is past for the UAW and they are no longer effective in the global economy.

What about the jobs you scream? When it comes to being a member of the UAW or feeding your family and maintaining a living, I would choose my family over the union. If the auto workers want to choose the UAW, they need to face the fact their jobs have been placed on life support. They aren't coming out of the deep coma.

I guarantee you this will be the best thing for the American consumer. When you go to look at that new shiny car on that showroom floor, you will know the sticker doesn't contain the hidden cost of outrageous UAW benefits. In other words, prices go down, and you win.

Walk Where Obama Walked!

Can't you just read it now: Forget where Lincoln walked, Springfield is a dump. Walk where Obama walked. Visit the south side of Chicago, the new murder capital of the United States thanks to Mayor Richard M. Daley's extreme stance on gun control. (I used to do business in many of those south side neighborhoods, and trust me, it's probably not for the better to send tourists that way. I know, Hyde Park is a beautiful neighborhood, but if you get lost...)

For those of you who don't live in Illinois and aren't frequent visitors, the Illinois Department of Tourism promotes the Land of Lincoln with the walk where Lincoln walked theme.

I haven't heard any inaugural plans, but you know they are going to tie Lincoln into it--the great Republican and the tax and spend socialist. Can't you just see the marketing behind this--the United States with the state of Illinois highlghted, the profile of Lincoln placed on the left representing the past, and Obama's profile stuck to the right (don't look into the left/right thing; I know who's the extreme leftest out of the two).

Starship Troopers IV: Obama's War

Gun and ammunition sales are up and have continued to rise since the election. There is a feeling in America today that is both tense and jubilant. A few have listened to the words, but more have blindly followed. The people who listened closely are concerned for their country. Obama won the votes of the war weary, and yet they chose not to hear the following words.

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."-Barack Obama

As an opponent to the radical change that is taking place before my eyes, I am concerned. I am concerned that in a few short months, I might be considered an enemy of the state for not complying. I might be an enemy of the state for supporting the Constitution that I have loved, placed my life on the line for, and took an oath to protect 17 years ago. Could my collection of words contained in this journal one day be considered treason?

I have so many questions about this, but one keeps coming to mind. Has Chairman Obama watched Starship Troopers one too many times? If so, who in Obama's Federation are the space bugs that need to be terminated? For the good of the Federation, right Obama? That's too Utopian for me. It's no wonder the bugs are probably preparing for battle.

In 2006, Rahm Emmanuel, coincidentally, was interviewed about the civilian military concept. This obviously is something that the Chicago Democrat thugs have thought out. He stated that all young adults between the ages of 18-25 will be required to go through a basic training that could last anywhere between three to seven months. I guess the only joy in required service will be watching the look in the eyes of the blinded youth that supported Chairman Obama in this election as they are dragged kicking and screaming to their required service. That's the only joy I see in this.

The choice of Emmanuel is clear. He served in the Israeli military. Israel trains all of it's citizens for war. Emmanuel understands how this works. The ruthless Emmanuel will the formation of the civilian service army.

We are led to ask Chairman Obama, what are national security objectives? Is this a legitimate plan to defend Americans from foreign and terrorist threats? Or, and more than likely, are national objectives a militant version of ACORN that insures these people their power and influence our elections through force?

I believe we owe it to ourselves to study up on Sal Alinsky so we can recognize where this might be going. The media won't report the truth.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/13/08)

A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy. -from Rendezvous with Destiny

The United States Slow Road to Socialism

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson 1919, six years after signing the Federal Reserve Act

In 1913, J.P. Morgan, Paul Warburg, and John D. Rockafellow managed to trick our federal government into giving them the control of the money in this country. As the story goes, the three of them convinced Secretary of State Philander Knox to lie to the American people that the states ratified 16th Amendment to the Constitution.

The 16th Amendment reads: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

These bankers believe that who controlled the money in the United States has the ultimate power, and the citizens were led to a tax on their labor. Later that year, while many Senators were at home on Christmas break, these three powerful bankers managed to get Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act. This handed the control of the federal currency to these bankers. In doing so, the government now had to borrow money from these bankers to finance the government, and the government was charged interest which made these bankers richer and more powerful. The American people were forced to pay the income tax to cover the government's bill to these bankers.

Now there's a reason I recall this legend this evening. I feel that we need to pay closer attention to what is going on in Washington with the current bailout plans. I am not a conspiracy theorist, and that's why I am careful of bringing up this legend. At the same time, I see a transformation going on in our country unparalleled with anything I have seen before.

To most Americans, it's complicated; therefore, they will catch a few numbers here and there and go on back to their lives. Some, like me, will try to follow it because we know it stinks. Whatever is going on in Washington, it is leading this country closer to socialism and away from the free-market democracy we have known. Maybe this has been gradually in play for nearly 100 years. As I am observing, it seems the government is gaining power at an alarming rate over our industrial giants, our largest banks, and other infrastructures of the economy.

According to the Wall Street Journal, a group of representatives from these banks met with Henry Paulson to distribute the bailout funds. Chairman Richard Kovacevich of Wells Fargo bank rejected the bailout. His bank wasn't in trouble. Paulson kept him in the room until he agreed to go along with the bailout. WHY?

Secretary Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke demanded that a bailout package be passed immediately to save the economy. Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid led the charge on Capitol Hill for what was suddenly the most nonpartisan moments in Washington since 9/11. Bush and Pelosi were working together to pass this because Paulson said it was dire that we get it done before Friday. Friday came, the package failed, and we woke up the next few days as normal. The economy didn't stop. Paulson demanded it get done. Eventually, $700 billion dollars and a bunch of earmarks did get passed. Why did it have to be done right here, right now without time to let the taxpayers consider the options? Why did Congressmen like Roy Blunt in my district ignore the pleas of the taxpayers seeking them to vote against it?

Isn't it ironic that around that same time, Barack Obama slips and mentions clues that he believes in socialism? It was reported today that Obama didn't agree with all these bailouts, but now he is is pushing them. Do our votes count? Is he just part of the plan?

I might be on to something, or maybe I have become doubtful of my government and now I am buying into conspiracies. The more I hear about this bailout, which now has tripled in cost to the taxpayers, the more I know something stinks. Our government is slowly killing the free market, while the Federal Reserve is becoming even more powerful. I felt the need to put these questions out there tonight because I am concerned with the direction of my country.

My Credit Card Bailout Gripe

Folks, to say I am angry at the direction of my country today would be an understatement. Our socialist treasury secretary, Henry Paulson, is now considering bailing out the credit card companies. I knew this was coming, but here is the kicker.

Americans who use credit cards, and I am not redirecting the responsibility of Americans who owe credit card debt, are subject to all sorts of fees, high interest rates, and hidden charges from these very companies. Under a bailout, Americans, like me, who use credit cards and continue to pay these foolish debts, are stuck paying the principle, the interest, the hidden fees, the known fees, and now the tax dollars used to bail out these companies. I know the credit card companies aren't going to take my payments to the IRS as part of my monthly payment. Doesn't this upset you as well?

These credit card companies have issued credit to children, to dead people, and to dogs. They irresponsibly push credit on everyone regardless the risk. In a typical week, I get four to five offers for a card.

Of course, that's how government works, so they probably don't see the problem. Considering how many layers of taxes I pay, some disguised at licenses, fees, fines, etc., it's just another day in Washington DC.

I wonder how much longer until individual citizens will demand their own bailout?

Obama's Springfield, Missouri Auto Bailout Flip-Flop

Dear Leader Chairman Obama visited Springfield, MO, in July to generate support in hopes to disrupt the Republican Greene County stronghold. The speech he delivered at Glendale High School came to be known as the tire gauge speech.

“There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy. Making sure your tires are properly inflated — simple thing. But we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling — if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You’d actually save just as much!”

Notice these Missouri state Kool-Aid drinkers were so drunk on the rhetoric they didn't even demand to 'show me.'

While the GOP was laughing at Dear Leader, as I was too, another important fact about Obama was overlooked. Chad Livengood, a reporter for The News-Leader, the small paper that serves southwest Missouri and parts of northern Arkansas, asked Obama a simple question. Would Obama support a bailout of the auto industry?

“The truth is that they’ve already made some tough decisions already.” Obama answered. “I don’t think that what’s needed is a bailout. I think that what is needed is assistance in making a transition.”

Obama at that time believed that the federal government should work with American automakers in developing technology to improve cars for the future and lowering the cost of health care cost to help reduce costs to the Big Three. Two months later, he helped the automakers receive a $25 billion bailout and now is pushing for increasing the bailout cost.

Once again, we see an Obama flip-flop. The truth is until Detroit reinvents itself, through better management, less union influence, and better products, this money is just a bandage on a huge oozing gash at the expense of the taxpayers.

The Obama Campaign is Begging for More Dough

As my constant research of political issues led me into the depths of the Obama Web site, the Obama campaign eventually got my e-mail address so I could dig deeper into the rhetoric and future mess that is Dear Leader Chairman Barack Obama. From that moment on, I became one of the 3.1 million in the Obama civilian army. Not by choice—I was drafted—forced into service, kicking and screaming along the way.

Each day, I demanded my e-mail be removed from the list, and each day I got letters from Barack, Michelle, Howard Dean, Bill & Hillary, David Axelrod, and a continuing list of liberals scarier than anything from the mind of Edgar Allen Poe. I could not get off Obama’s e-mail list. I probably should have reported Obama to the Spam Police.

I was relieved after the election thinking the madness would end. I thought maybe I escaped Obama Spam hell, but the e-mails kept coming. I was further recruited to wait for the next command. Nothing surprised me more than the one that came yesterday. If I donate more money to the Obama campaign, they will send me an Obama victory t-shirt. I wrote them back wondering if they would exchange it for a Mike Church Obama t-shirt. I didn’t get a reply beyond the typical robo reply.

Wait, isn’t the campaign over? In the worst economy ever, Obama raised over a half-a-billion dollars to purchase the presidency and he wants more! He ran on the premise that Americans are having a tough time; yet, he is arrogant enough to beg for more. Don’t think it’s going to stop at a t-shirt. The day is coming where you will be forced to give to Dear Leader, and the t-shirt reward won’t be an option.

What this really tells me is Obama and his campaign are the driving force of the ME generation now. They think about themselves and how they can keep themselves in power at your expense. Americans claim times are tough right now. I personally, don’t believe times are any tougher today than what they have been in the past. It’s what you make out of them, but I do understand the markets are down and money is tighter. Obama won an election by denouncing the health of the economy by pushing agonizing stories like Juliana Sanchez, haunted by the fact she can only buy half-a-gallon of milk. In this economy, he is begging for cash even after the election, and I doubt one cent will go to help Sanchez buy a full gallon of milk. Remember that when you wear your "greedy Obama" victory t-shirt.

Legacy

Much has been written of Bill Clinton's search for the Clinton legacy. Through a strong economy that carried over from the eighties, most people can't name the policies that define him. In fact, when we watched those buildings fall on 9/11, we realized that his administration blew chances to fight terrorism which may have possibly prevented those tragic events. The Clinton legacy remains perjury and a stained blue dress.

Now, eight years later, an interesting dichotomy presents itself between Clinton and President George W. Bush during his final weeks in the White House. In Clinton's final days, his approval numbers remained consistently above average, while Bush's remain the among the lowest in presidential history. Not only that, now we have a President who provided Americans hope and a coming President who is promising hope of a much different kind.

The past eight years have redefined America, and the leadership provided will be proven the best course for America. No American President has had to make the decisions that Bush has had to make, and it's easy to criticize a man walking down an unknown path. The policies of the last administrations didn't work, and the buildings fell because those policies. Bush's courage to face terrorism on their home field rather than keeping it on our turf, like the Clinton administration did, provided Americans with a great hope than Obama could ever provide. Bush hope is simply that America will remain safe, and our enemy's efforts have been stalled.

For the last eight years, we have watched an angry Democratic party, still bitter over the 2000 election, go out of their way to pollute the efforts of our President--including turning the war into political divide. The Democrats placed this country in greater jeopardy by the threat of terrorism for the exchange of political power. Judas hung himself for the exchange of truth for monetary power, now consider this story some 1900 years later.

Our enemies in the Middle East are closer to developing nuclear weapons, and tripping George W. Bush up has handicapped his ability to tackle these issues. The Democrats rant there were no weapons of mass destruction, while they ignore Saddam Hussein's huge stockpile of yellowcake uranium (weapons grade) discovered in Iraq.

The Middle East hasn't grown in danger because of George W. Bush, the Middle East has grown more dangerous because the democrats are willing to sell our safety out so they can arrogantly lead Congress. In a few short weeks, enter Dear Leader Chairman Obama. Conversations will not end the nuclear threat and the hate of Israel that is driving these mad men to develop and eventually use these weapons. The one force that will divert this doomsday scenario in the Middle East and possibly in the United States is the strength of the United States military.

Of course, I don't like war. No one likes war. The cost not to fight now and take out these dangerous nuclear weapons facilities out immediately might be the burnt shadows of anti-war liberals, moderates, and conservatives on the sidewalks of major cities in the United States. The democrats tied Bush's hands and allowed these weapons to be produced. They sold you out for the 30 pieces of silver.

George W. Bush hasn't spent his last days wondering what his legacy will be. He understands the world we live in, and he understands teaching the world to sing and buying it a COKE isn't going to keep America safe. Unlike Clinton, Bush hasn't thrived on legacy; his purpose is much greater than that. I believe the history books will be much nicer to George W. Bush than the polls have been. Bush's legacy will be that he made tough choices that were right no matter how unpopular they were. That's what makes a great leader.

Sure they will attack the economy, but Presidents haven't the power over the economy that people think they do; although, Obama's policies might disprove that. Americans surrendered that power to the Federal Reserve, which is probably the single greatest American sin. Besides, Bush's economy remained strong until the Democrats took over Congress, and the Bush economy survived the days after 9/11. George W. Bush was the right man for the job.

In the coming weeks, the new administration will pick apart and delete what defined the Bush administration. I don't wish any harm on any American from a foreign enemy, even if you are one of those pantie waste liberals with your peace sign singing Kumbaya all day long. You liberals have attacked our president with words, lies, distorted news stories, and most dangerously, a polluted vision of the world which revolves around why can't we get a long. When Obama's conversations fail to prevent the next attack, I hope you finally realize W. right.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/12/08)

When the government takes away incentives to work and save, the economy goes flat--millions are thrown out of work and government revenues plunge.

You better be paying attention Chairman Obama.

Thank You Veterans

I just want to give a big thanks to all the Veterans who have served and fought in the armed services to protect our freedoms and our way of life.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including their life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -Steven C. Schreiner-Veteran, S.E. Asia 68-69 and 70-71

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/11/08)

I'll tell you a story of a friend of mine who was asked to a costume ball a short time ago. He slapped some egg on his face and went as a liberal economist.

February 11, 1988

Obama's Coming GITMO Mess

The inexperience of Dear Leader Chairman Obama is already peeking behind the wall the media and the democratic machine built over the last two years. Obama and his left-wing cronies plan to close Guantanamo Bay. Obama aims to bring some prisoners of war back to American soil where they will receive trials and full Constitutional rights.

Other prisoners will be released so they can back to their American hating lives--that's right, released. They can go back to their training camps back in Afghanistan, Iran, or Iraq to plot more violence against Americans, while Obama brings other terrorist suspects to the United States and gives them full Constitutional rights. I thought the goal of the terrorist were to destroy our Constitution, our way of life, and our economic strength. Now the Constitution will serve them.

Do you sense any irony here? We have democrats out there who want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine to quiet opposing view points. The Constitution protects these opposing viewpoints. Do the democrats care? No, of course not. They want to 'hush rush,' and give our enemies the rights they are willing to take away from the citizens in this country. It's no wonder many people believe our best days are behind are us. What else can you believe when the looneys run the asylum?

Movin' on Up: Tax Payers Get Extra Mouth to Feed at the Obama White House

Michelle Obama has begged her mother to leave her south side Chicago home and move into the White House to help out with little Malia and Sasha. Although Marian Robinson has not decided whether or not to live in the White House, Michelle is pushing hard that she does so she can help raise the children.

Why is it the media attacked and asked Sarah Palin hard questions about how would she have time to raise children and serve as vice president? Shouldn't they look at the Obama's in the same light? They are moving a woman to Washington so they can pass off their parental responsibilities to Grandma Robinson, and not one peep from the media who was so critical of Palin.

I have another question. In my lifetime, no first family has moved an extended family member into the White House to raise children. Are taxpayers going to pay for the baby-sitting expenses? If so, it looks like Mrs. Robinson is movin' on up and finally getting a piece of the taxpayer pie pie ie.

Mind Numbing Millennials (From the Mancow Show)

Bring on the depression. Let's have an earth shaking Tsunami caliber economic collapse. Bye bye bottom! Bring on chaos, panic and rioting in the streets! Why? Because it just may save our nation. The 20 something's are an aloof group that needs their asses handed to them. Experts call them "Millennials" others just call them "a-holes." Our economy has been so bitchin' for so long it's actually providing a compfy place for these jerks to incubate in. We've become the brainless partying with peacocks on the rooftops of Metropolis.

A worthless lot that wears their Hollister hats backwards as they backslap and congratulate each other over nothing. These men buy their clothes already distressed so they look like they actually do something. "Distressed" is how they describe the cloths of today that are riddled with holes, worn spots, and faux dirt stains painted on designed to make them look rugged. Their jeans run half a grand and they spend hundreds on their hairdos. The hair is highlighted with Seacresty lighter tones & their skin spray-tanned to give us the illusion that they actually are working outside. They want to look like cancer free Marlboro men with soft hands and stupid smirks.

These are not rednecks that actually stand for God, guns, and guts. These are there more "enlightened" contemporaries. Mostly white guys born between 1980-1995 that have had everything handed to them and yet the complaining never stops. They got a new car at sixteen that they promptly wrecked. Their college dorm rooms looked like they were decorated by Crate & Barrel. They partied and got luke-warm grades but it never really mattered. They've always had so called "helicopter parents" hovering around them to clean up their messes and cushion any bumps in life's road. Every second is scheduled so they never have a moment of solace to reflect and realize "I am a complete douche bag." When they played Little League every child was called winner. Even the kid that came in 17th was called "champ" and given a trophy. And now anytime you have to deal with one of these propped-up "winners" you lose.

The Millennials are self centered, yet never self-actualized. My Space, Face book, i pod, i phone, and video games, keep them in their own heads where their ids rule supreme. The theme song to their existence is the same one an operatic tenor sings as he warms up "me me me me me me." It's their movie and were just extras in it. The road sign for them always reads "one-way." They use the word "journey" a lot. They blog about their "journey" and no one ever bothers to tell them what tedious bores they are when they tell their ripping yarns of what they had for lunch or who they loathe on the television show "The Hills.

"Tom Brokaw wrote about the "greatest generation." The generation that fought World War 2 and survived the great depression. The generation that fought and died for what they believed in. Maybe, they left us with an America with too much opportunity. We are so prosperous we can actually support a class of shallow nothing people. We are mentally & morally bankrupt that we've mutated into politically correct sheeple that tolerate intolerance. When radicalized Islamic fascist want to kill them they want to try to talk it out. (Well, it worked out well for Neville Chamberlain & Adolf Hitler.)

They get hooked on the credit-card crack pipe in college and never stop buying trinkets they don't need and can't afford. Spoiled boys can't say "no." If it has the word "extreme" on it spelled wrongly then they gotta have it. Add the word "energy" and promise them their hearts will race and they'll act all the roided -up and crazy and it's already on the Amex. Monster energy to help you on your lame-assed so-called journey to oblivion? High five!

The Millennials voted for Obama. Oh, not because they actually knew anything about Obama's politics but because it's what their group collective did. They believed it gave them street cred. That coupled with a few ghetto phrases and ass-crack revealing baggy pants, they believed would endear them to their darker skinned homies. Un-fortunately their African-American peers wisely view them as pathetic posers with no sense of issues or history completely governed by emotion. "Eminems a poet, Yo.

"If it's a graphically violent, degrading to women video they can't wait to share it with there buds on the internet. They idolize "Girls Gone Wild's" Joe Francis and pay for friends in the form of fraternities. They do keggers, snort Ritalin, and plan their next rape.They believe they are individuals yet like all good lemmings they never look around to notice they all wear the exact same uniforms. Abercrombie & Filth, Hollister, Gap, Hot Topic, mall store, mall store, and mall store. Tomorrow? A beer gut covered with Tommy Bahama.

They think nothing of destroying those closest to them and then saying something clever like "hug it out man." However, they claim to feel deeply for the latest victims of some natural disaster that happened in some country with a name they can't pronounce. They'll argue that we have to rebuild every despot regime even though they hate Western civilization. Meanwhile an American city like New Orleans can stay in ruins. It's much hipper now to root for one's enemies. They are the gods (small "g") of their self-absorbed parent created empires. Standing in the shallows giving out bullshit advice with long pauses between each thought. Sadly our pathetic Public schools have robbed them of ever being genuine leaders. "Everyone's the same" goes the diversity loving governmental brain washing the teachers spew. They get constant praise and even though they really are all the same they somehow still all feel superior. Odd. So much effort has been put into there feelings not being hurt that they are never given any truth. They were graded on the low end of the curve because our politically correct system demands that the non-English speaking illegals don't feel dumb. And while Pedro may or may not be stupid it's lowering the bar for everyone. Think we aren't de-evolving as a culture? Have you tried to have a conversation with anyone just out of high school lately? Trogs! We desperately need school choice if we ever hope to steer the S.S. America away from the iceberg.

American business leaders will tell you they simply can not find anyone willing to put forth any effort. Corporate America hates the new crop. As much as I can't stand the corporations you have to feel something akin to empathy for them. The new work force needs endless praise every single day. They cannot, and will not, do any long term projects. They can't focus for long. Their A.D.D. is enabled by Tivo and workdays dicking around on the internet on your dime. They decorate their cubicle like a ten year old boy's playroom. They tape up juvenile cartoons witty only to the basest of dullards. They pose their action figures from movies that pre-date them around their computers.

The work ethic has disappeared from this generation. They have the blue tooth ear piece perched on their ears so you always feel like you are interrupting some phantom conversation. We call them "blue tools" around my office because rudely they are literally always on the phone. Or should I say their phone is always on them? They always have a slightly constipated irritated look on their smug mugs. Glancing around establishments that actually employ these pretentious pricks one can't help but wonder: "how does anything get done around here?" Then you spot her. That one sweating good-natured fat girl that actually does all the work. If you want a successful business now days I say skip the preening twenty something white boys and hire sloppy fat white women. They really do try harder. Like Avis, and they'll put out if you get desperate. It's a 2 for 10 work ratio fat girls versus asinine frat boy types by my calculation.

Maybe the newscasters are correct about us needing illegals because lazy Americans don't want to work. I believe the talking heads and that's why we actually need a good old fashioned depression. Then we won't sit idly sipping Starbucks as our country gets destroyed. Congressman Tom Tancredo told me about our governments plan for one borderless North American Union. Canada, America, and Mexico blended together to become just another third world backwater dump. NAFTA lit the fuse for the implosion of skilled workers leaving & factories closing.

We keep hearing how wonderful the global economy is and yet I remain unimpressed.Our over-inflated fiat currency has to crash along with the housing and stock markets. We won't have the time or money to give hand-outs, welfare, and affirmative action... The complaining will stop and the Millenials will simply have to get busy or die. Perhaps an even greater generation will rise from the ashes. We'll celebrate intelligence and, the work ethic once more. Shallow blogs will be abandoned for more authentic character building pursuits. America will have renewed relevance to use once again out of necessity. The coddled crowd that's heard "yes, yes, yes" will just have to get used to "no." So bring on the bad times for our own survival. Let's sing the blues-its better that whatever recycled unfeeling crap is on the radio nowadays anyway. Our Jewish friends don't hold the patent on self loathing. Only a spoiled American, like me, could actually say a depression would make me happy. Right Now.

Thanks Jason Johnson for bringing this to my attention.

Obama's Hitler Youth Program Updated

On Friday, I blogged about the required community service Chairman Obama was going to mandate. Since then, the http://www.change.gov/ site has changed Obama's required community service to voluntary community service. The plan originally required 50 hours from all middle school and high school students.

It now reads:

America Serves

"When you choose to serve -- whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood -- you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream."

The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

I wonder what is the truth? For months, the Obama campaign Web site read that community service will be required. I think they are avoiding a preinaugural landmine, and my guess is that required will return to the verbiage in the future, after all, this is a socialist idea.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/10/08)

One thing our Founding Fathers could not foresee... they were farmers, professional men, business men giving their time and their effort to a dream and an idea that became a country ... was a nation governed by professional politicians who had a vested interest in getting reelected. They probably envisioned a fellow serving a couple of hitches and then looking eagerly forward to getting back to the farm.

The idea of term limits for Congress has been forgotten, but we need to revive the idea to keep ideas fresh and for the sole fact that too many years in Washington seems to corrupt the image of what goes on in the real world.

Obama's Mutt was the Star of the Sunday Shows

Gone was the confidence displayed during the campaign. I believe the cliche that works best is a deer in headlights, but the media wasn't talking about that. Obama supporters felt an important part of the presidency was the ability to speak--many have gone as far as saying the last eight years we lost respect in the world because the current president wasn't a great speaker. During Dear Leader Chairman Obama's first press conference, the uhs were back. The press lobbed nine softball questions to the podium, and Fox News didn't get a trip to the mound.

The talk this Sunday focused little on the press conference, the racial mutt comment, or the Nancy Reagan gaffe. I think it's safe to say that after Sunday, I know which dogs are good for children with dog allergies and those which one are not. Throughout the Sunday shows, Obama's pathos/ethos based decision to adopt a dog continued until football began. Obama so desperately wants us to think that he is one of us. If the economy is a priority, why is he filling this important press conference with this self-identity ethos? I think he was successful with it. It has taken the focus off that he looked lost in front of the podium.

Obama laid down a racial comment. His campaign played these games throughout the election and then pointed the fingers on the Clinton's and the McCain campaign. I never once thought I would have to see Bill defend himself on the subject of racism, but Obama successfully pulled it off. Obama called himself a mutt during the campaign, which many thinks describes his half black/half white. (We forget that Obama is half white as every celebrates electing the first black president.)

I took something more out of the mutt comment. A mutt is average. Obama's mutt statement is designed to lower the expectations. Obama's real problem is not the economy, the war in Iraq, and the fact the Putin is flexing the Russian bear's muscle. His real problem is that people have bought into he is the messiah. They have bought into he will save them from the average problems facing their everyday lives. Remember Peggy Joseph believed that if Obama was elected that she would no longer have to worry about her mortgage or putting gas in her car. Obama should have told these people during the campaign that it wasn't the responsibility of the president to pay your mortgage and put gas in your car, but he maintained the facade. People like Joseph aren't going to accept anything less than the faith they placed in Obama. His road will be rough as these followers discover their disappointments.

Thank You Missouri Voters for Reelecting Peter Kinder

I just want to send a brief thank you to Missouri voters for reelecting Peter Kinder. Kinder has been the driving force behind the Tour of Missouri, and his Democrat challenger made it a campaign issue, which would have probably insured the death of the Tour of Missouri if the challenger beat Kinder. In an state election that favored Democrats over Republicans, Kinder managed to win. Congratulations Peter Kinder! Here's to the future of the Tour of Missouri bicycle race!

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/9/08)

In our nation today, government has grown too big, to complex, and possessed of what Cicero called the "arrogance of officialdom."

Remote from the wishes of the people, it forgets that ours is a system of government by the consent of the governed--not the other way around.


To those who passed the bank bailout plan, to this day, the majority of people I spoke to disagreed with the bailout and vocalized it to their local Congressman and/or Senator. The people were proven right, and the politicians ignored us yet once again. I wrote letters to Congressman Roy Blunt-R, Senator Christopher 'Kit' Bond-R, and Senator Claire McCaskill-D (McGaskill, because of the foulness of what comes out of her mouth). To this day, I have not received one response from any of them.

Obama Administration Could be Tough for NASCAR

You won't fine a more patriotic group of Americans gathered together as you do when they are gathered for a NASCAR race. A NASCAR weekend is a celebration of freedom, the American armed forces, American industrial power, and the American tradition of winning and being the best. Before each race starts, fans participate in the prerace prayer, the National Anthem, and a bone-shaking fly over that rattles that track. Then the most famous word are spoken, GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!

The horsepower roars-800+ under the hood. Forty three cars line up following the pace car ready to take the green flag as the aroma of burning fuel begins to fill the air around the track. Fans who wear race radios, hear the spotters yell GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, and the cars quick speed up to unbelievable speeds, nearly 200 mph on some tracks.

Could this American tradition come under attack? I believe so based on Chairman Obama's belief that carbon dioxide, a gas necessary for life on earth, should be labeled a dangerous pollutant. (Read by blog on Obama's CO2 lies.) How far would an Obama administration direct environmental policy? Would it go far enough to put NASCAR racing in jeopardy?

As crazy as this may sound, let's remember it was Democrat George Mitchell who led Congress to investigate steroid use in baseball. I am still trying to figure out where in Article One does it give Congress the right to hold hearings on games. I still cite this as an example of the height of arrogance of Congress. Congress doesn't legislate the basic rules of Major League Baseball, so what right did they have to investigate a problem within the league. That is the job of the commissioner and the governing body of MLB, not Congress's. They did it.

In doing so, these shameless members of Congress, who coincidentally rarely walk down the road of honesty, pointed fingers and indirectly labeled players like Mark McGwire. With all the corruption in Congress, what right did they have to do this? My point is, in the past, they have pushed their way into the professional sports arena before, and they have since. Most recently, they are discussing the NFL television broadcasting policies surrounding blackouts when the local stadium isn't sold out.

So we know Obama's position on energy and CO2 emissions. We understand Pelosi's anti-oil stance in the house (primarily based on her huge investments in windmill technology). What would stop Congress from having hearings now about fuel mileage in NASCAR? What would stop them from examining emissions levels and requiring them to lower them to levels no possible to race with? You may laugh, but I recall when Rush Limbaugh predicted the war on the sports utility vehicle (SUV). Many laughed then. I listened, and I watched it happen.

NASCAR has taken steps towards cleaner fuel burning cars. Over the past two seasons, they switched from regular gasoline to unleaded gasoline that burns cleaner. NASCAR understands the attack is coming, and they have been researching ways to keep the intensity of the competition while facing complying with future government regulations. It might not be enough if Obama successfully wages a war against carbon dioxide. (I highly recommend going back a few weeks and reading the CO2 and Obama blog.)

McCain Staffer's Claims not all Bad for Sarah Palin

I can't recall an election where there has been as much focus on the defeated vice presidential candidate as there is on the new president elect, or in this case the chairman elect. Every day, more stories of Sarah Palin share headlines with the dear leader. At first, I thought this was bad, but the more I see these stories, the more I realize this is good.

Sarah Palin is a bright spot in what was a dismal election for the Republican. Postelection polls show nearly 3 out of 4 Republican voters approved of Palin during election as John McCain's loser strategists and campaign managers look for a reason other than themselves to blame the loss on.

Had Palin been guilty of these petty charges of McCain staffers, she might not want the press but she is fighting back. This gives American time with Palin to discover who she really is since she isn't on the strings of the McCain puppeteers. I believe she will take advantage of this time to continue pushing her message, the rouge message according to staffers. In the end, it will be Palin that shines as she plants the seeds for 2012. Go Sarah!

Did Obama Call Nancy Reagan a Witch?

Did anyone catch Obama's statement about Nancy Reagan? During Dear Leader's first postelection press conference he said, "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances."

I thought that Obama was this great unifying force in American politics who was going to transcend partisan politics. Here we see an example of him calling the widow of one of the greatest and most popular leaders in American history a witch. Of course, he is going to get away with his simple apology. The media isn't going to give this much time. What if Newt or Rush was to make fun of Michelle Obama's 'ghetto booty?' Do you know how differently left-wing nut jobs like Andrea Mitchell or Keith Olbermann would handle a comment like that? (Have you gotten the picture that I think Olbermann is the lowest form of left-wing media scum?)

Conservatives expect this from Obama. Hillary Clinton told us that Obama is just a speech. Frankly, he looked lost yesterday during the press conference. I didn't know I was viewing the same Obama of the campaign. The insult to Nancy Reagan shows us once again how divisive Dear Leader Chairman Obama is and will be. Wake up America, the real racists and dividers in this country are coming home--to roost!

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/8/08)

On January 20, 1981, Reagan faced what is truly the worst economy since the Great Depression. Reagan faced a higher unemployment rate, high inflation, outrageous interest rates that brought the construction industry to a halt. His words are the opposite of what we have heard in this election, and we know that Reagan brought our economy back to a point of peace-time prosperity never before seen.

Can we solve the problems confronting us? Well, the answer is an unequivocal and emphatic "yes." To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I've just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy.

In the days ahead I will propose removing the roadblocks that have slowed our economy and reduced productivity. Steps will be taken aimed at restoring the balance between the various levels of government. Progress may be slow, measured in inches and feet, not miles, but we will progress. It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles there will be no compromise.

Steep Grade Ahead for Republicans

Once again, I am disappointed in the Republicans. I knew all along that John McCain wasn't the unifier our party needed. The taste he left in our mouths time in again was sour-flavors like Russ Feingold, Ted Kennedy, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The hope that he introduced to Republicans now faces slander from the insiders that ran his campaign, and where is McCain defending Palin?

The Republican party needs to fix its identity as a conservative voice. Moderate Republicans like McCain prevent the party from achieving the success it achieved under Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich. Standing in the middle has never worked for Republicans, and it always winds up biting rabidly back. We need to stop trying to make friends with the media. Idiots like Keith Olbermann will never be our friend. When you try to hang out with losers like Olbermann and Chris Matthews, people label you a loser like Olbermann and Matthews. Republicans have become too worried with what these empty talking heads say, and they are empty. (Read the end of Obama's Electronic War for examples.)

There is a steep grade ahead of us. Dear Leader, Chairman Obama's victory on Tuesday comes at a great price. There are three issues Republicans need to consider now that Democrats now have free reign over the Congress and the White House.

The first challenge Republicans face comes from the south. The demographics are changing. Once a Republican guarantee, northeasterners are now leaving states like Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York for the less taxes the southern states promise. The idiotic part of this is that they continue to vote for Democratic candidates that raise taxes. You people in the south need to thank these liberal escapees who now jeopardize your weekly paycheck, and the Republicans need to reestablish a grassroots effort to insure the south.

The second challenge is to embrace voters in California and New York. There are 86 electoral votes between the two of these states. That's just too many not to fight for. I am not convinced the state of California is ran by a bunch of left-wing loonies. San Francisco may be a loss, but the victory of Proposition 8 (banning same-sex marriage) in California proves there are still voters there that do care about the principles the Republican party stands for. Did you know the Republican party put no effort into these two states? California is the state of Reagan, let's return it to that great status. In doing so, let's not embrace left-wing environmental policies that threaten America's industry.

Finally, the greatest challenge that Republican face is Chairman Obama's amnesty vision. Obama and Biden support a policy that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.
Democrats will aggressively pursue the Hispanic vote in this country by whatever means possible. We have watched them do it to other minority groups, and the Hispanic vote could be the nail in our national-election coffin if we don't effectively govern and promote conservative ideas with our current Latino community.

Republicans forget they are the party that freed the slaves, founded the NAACP, created affirmative action (not what you see today), set up black colleges, pushed for black citizenship and voting rights, and passed every piece of civil rights legislation. It was the democrats who founded and joined the Ku Klux Klan, and Senator Robert Byrd, Democrat from West Virginia, once served proudly in the KKK. It was Democrats that labeled Martin Luther King and enemy and had his house bugged. Yet, Democrats win the black vote. The Democrat's socialist agenda of welfare has kept these people down and has established a voter base for the Democrats.

Yes, that is controversial to say. Ask yourself this. Jesse Jackson is a Democrat. Can you name one thing he has done to get blacks out of the current social situation? Can anyone tell me how one of these social programs have helped the black community as a whole succeed and move away from government aid? Of course not. Blacks have been taken advantage of to create a solid voting block for Democrats and now Democrats are coming after the Latino community.

Blacks aren't born liberals. Black communities have a solid foundation in God, and most of their churches don't spew the hate of Jeremiah Wright. Proposition 8 in California is proof of this. It was the black vote in California that is responsible for passing California's constitutional ban on gay marriage. Maybe it isn't too late to build on this in California and other black communities to let them know we are the party who stands for morality. It's time to begin a grassroots efforts to prevent the damage to the Latino community if the Democrats continue to play skin-color games. If we don't start working together now, 2010 and beyond may be bleak. That's not acceptable.

Slavery is Coming Back: Obama's Hitler Youth Program

Under the Obama plan, Obama and Biden will require all middle and high school students perform 50 hours of community service a year. Does the term Hitler Youth come to mind? Parents, you must not let the government influence your children beyond the influence of the public school systems. Even letting them into the public school system has become questionable considering the left-wing agenda that's being taught--like taking first graders to a lesbian wedding in San Francisco. Schools have become indoctrinating zones for children, and now they want to push this community service stuff on them. This is scary stuff! Dear Leader wants your kids to follow his community organizing path. Be sure to check their school's reading list for Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/7/08)

Despite the spread of democracy and capitalism, human nature has not changed. It is still an unpredictable mixture of good and evil. Our enemies maybe irrational, even outright insane—driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships.

Obviously, Joe Biden, so-called foreign policy expert, has failed to notify Chairman Obama of these very facts. Throughout the campaign and into the following days, I listened to how he is going to cut the military, stop production of new nuclear weapons and a missile defense system, and talk to our enemies without setting preconditions. Top brass in the military call for an updated nuclear program, citing that our current nukes are dated and becoming less reliable.

The bear will roar again in Russia as Putin is going to place himself back in power next year. Iran is continuing to develop nuclear weapons designed to drop on Israel and possibly friends of Israel (you know who), and terrorist still threaten our way of life. This is not a time to forget the words of Reagan and cut our military.

Obama's Electronic War: The Fight is on YOUR Screen to Defeat an Image

Throughout the campaign, I noticed that if I read an anti-Chairman Obama article or blog, there an army of pro-Obama comments to debunk the article, demoralize the author and those on the opposing side reading these stories. The comments felt scripted like the entire Obama campaign. Shortly before the McCain, a Clinton supporter who transferred to the Obama campaign after the primaries blogged how the Obama electronic army seeks out blogs and stories to do just this.

Obama has called out to this army again, and we will see if their enthusiasm will last throughout the four years when the truth comes out and we discover who the real Obama is. In an e-mail, written to the army shortly before his Grant Park victory speech, Obama let them know to be ready. "We have a lot to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next."

Yesterday, I heard the pundits claim these electronic warriors are the new Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, and Mike Church. Granted 3.1 million electronic warriors is an impressive number, but does not even come close to Limbaugh's dedicated daily audience. Most of these 3.1 million are kids that probably can't wait to get back to the daily drama of Facebook and MySpace. They will never receive the rewards Limbaugh earns for his service, so this army will weaken as fast as our military weakens with Obama's military cuts that are coming.

"I'm going to be sitting at the phone, asking, 'What do you want me to do next? I'm ready,' " said volunteer Courtney Hood, 37. Will Hood's three children suffer loss of their time with their mom because she is threatening some blog or writing Representatives over and over using different aliases? I sense holes in the armor.

Whatever Obama's plans, whether it be intimidating members of Congress using ACORN and Saul Alinsky tactics to send thousands of e-mails to opposing members of Congress or demoralizing pro-right bloggers and columnist, we need to stay strong, present the facts, write members of Congress, and fight Obama's electronic warriors. This is the way to begin to defeat Obama on a grassroots level. We can help rebuild the conservative movement in America, and we need to rebuild it using sound facts and positive rhetoric. Name calling is not acceptable.

I invite Obama's electronic warriors to my blog. They didn't demoralize me, they upset me and brought out my passion for the philosophies that I hold dear. I accepted their challenge and enjoyed proving with facts that they were lying bullys. Remember, Obama is an image, nothing more, nothing less--a very dangerous image.

As I close, consider the conversations in the media just before and after the election. It proves Obama is nothing more than an image.

From the Charlie Rose show with Tom Brokaw:

ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don't either.

ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.

BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

BROKAW: You know that's an interesting question.

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches, two of them.

BROKAW: I don't know what books he's read. (Clay-We know he has read Sal Alinsky's Rules for Radical, surely Brokaw know this.)

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?

BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.

From the Charlie Rose Show with Evan Thomas and Jon Meacham, both of Newsweek Magazine:

MEACHAM: He's very elusive, Obama, which is fascinating for a man who's written two memoirs. At Grant Park he walks out with the family, and then they go away.

ROSE: Mmm. Mmm-hmm.

MEACHAM: Biden's back, you know, locked in the bar or something.

ROSE: (haughty chuckle)

MEACHAM: You know, they don't let him out. And have you ever seen a victory speech where there was no one else on stage?

ROSE: Mmm.

MEACHAM: No adoring wife, no cute kid. He is the messenger.

THOMAS: There is a slightly creepy cult of personality about all this. I mean, he's such an admirable --

ROSE: Slightly. Creepy. Cult of personality.

THOMAS: Yes.

ROSE: What's slightly creepy about it?

THOMAS: It -- it -- it just makes me a little uneasy that he's so singular. He's clearly managing his own spectacle. He's a deeply manipulative guy.

ROSE: Watching him last night in that speech, he finishes --

MEACHAM: Yeah.

ROSE: -- and he sort of -- it's almost like he then ascends to look at the circumstance.

MEACHAM: He watches us watching him.

THOMAS: Watching him!

ROSE: Exactly!

THOMAS: He does --

MEACHAM: It's amazing.

ROSE: It is amazing.

THOMAS: He writes about this metaphor being a screen upon which Americans will project. He said they want of Barack Obama; I'm not sure I am Barack Obama.

ROSE: Mmm!

THOMAS: He had -- he has the self-awareness to know that this creature he's designed isn't necessarily a real person, and he's self-aware enough --

ROSE: Ahhhhhh!

End of transcript.

It's time to go to war in the name of conservatism. It's time to beat this movement and the 3.1 million volunteers. Remember, conservatives are more passionate that liberals, and that is the key to win this war.

If Obama Supporting College Students are so Smart...

I have come to terms that America elected Barry Obama. I have decided that it is time to put out a hand of support to the future administration. I know, I know, you aren't ready to hear this. I am a thinker, and this afternoon I thought about it. Please hear my proposal out.


The Obama plan states: Obama and Biden will create a new American Opportunity Tax Credit worth $4,000 in exchange for community service. It will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students.


My question is: if Obama supporting college students are so smart, why are the registering to go to school this semester or any semester until Obama passes his new education program? Aren't they just wasting their money if the government will pay up to two-thirds of their education, up to $4000, and all they have to do is give some of their time to Dear Leader Chairman Obama.


Now as a college graduate who took the traditional paths of paying for my education through my earned money and student loans, I am in no way supporting giving an education away as an entitlement. I am proposing that we give the liberals who run these institutions and brainwash students with their liberal agendas a taste of their own medicine. At Missouri State, Pumill Hall has a couple of offices that are full of left-wing hateful rhetoric taped to their windows. I had to view that rhetoric everyday on my way to classes. This is especially for those instructors who felt the need to tell me what a miserable person George W. Bush is. It's time to teach all those instructors, who felt the need to tell me what a miserable person George W. Bush is, what misery is all about.


Here's the medicine:


We need conservatives to volunteer to spend time on college campuses. We need to promote the Obama plan and help familiarize them with the Obama plan. We need to convince them that they are wasting their OWN money if they register for school for the next few semesters. We need to let them know that Dear Leader Chairman Obama wants to take care of their education, and they will be far better off if they just wait to take classes. Don't enroll for the next few semesters.


Here's the goal:

The fewer students on campus means the less need for liberal instructors like those on the first floor at Pumill Hall. Let's make these instructors get real jobs with real people who work and could care less about their pseudo-intellectual liberal beliefs. If there are no minds full of mush sitting stargazed in front of them taking in their liberal lies, their lives will be meaningless and miserable. I couldn't think of a better way to help educate all those professors that held it against me that I was a conservative, especially that political science teacher that held it against me that I supported Justice Clarence Thomas.


We know the Obama education reforms are coming. We might as well have some fun at the expense of a liberal. Good luck in your new mission.

Disgusted with the McCain Camp

I am saddened by the McCain camp and their comments about Sarah Palin. The McCain campaign was dull and boring before she came along. These people now scramble for reasons why they lost so they are considered for campaign jobs during the next election cycle. McCain lost because he didn't excite the base. For years, he betrayed conservatives looking to form partnerships with democrats and forgetting the conservative principals of Reagan. His defeat had nothing to do with Palin. Palin excited the base and I voted for Palin, not McCain.

Obama is the New Reagan?: What an Insult!

I just wanted to go the bathroom and throw up my breakfast burrito. Jon Markman , in his MSN column, writes that Obama is the new Reagan. Mr. Markman, how dare you compare Obama the socialist to Reagan the great conservative. Thanks for ruining my breakfast Mr. Markman.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/6/2008)

There seems to be an increasing awareness of something we Americans have known for some time: that the ten most dangerous words in the English language are, "Hi, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

I have met many people in my life that are dependent on government programs to live. For the most part, they are not happy people. They complain about not having enough, but they aren't willing to go and do it on their own to begin achieving freedom from the government. When the time comes to get off the system, they are scared to do it. They want the government there to catch them because they are convinced they can't do it on their own. I know college-educated people like this. I wouldn't want to live life like that.

Now, Obama has catered to the Millennials--the entitlement generation. They are conditioned that they are owed something in life. These government programs that keep people dependent are going to grow. The liberal politicians get exactly what they want from the programs, votes. These programs keep people dependent on the government and maintain a voter base for the democrats--in other words they keep you fat and stupid and scare you into voting for them by stating the evil Republicans are going to cut these programs. Entitlements become a ball and chain that prevents people from being their very best.

What to Expect from the Obama Socialist States of America

Well, I wasn't surprised Tuesday night. I sat in disgust as I watched states like Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ohio turn blue. In a couple of years, they will easily understand the error of their ways as Dear Leader Chairman Obama's environmental policies destroy the coal industry. Once the coal industry is destroyed, a trickle down effect will occur putting other people in these states out of work as the local tax base is destroyed hurting schools. Hey, you states voted for him.

Let's look at how Chairman Obama will rule America:

• He will label carbon dioxide as a dangerous pollutant. (Read my blog about it.) Carbon dioxide is an essential gas to maintain life on earth. He will use this to attack the coal industry and redistribute wealth in the name of environmentalism. This is nothing more than an attack on capitalism and will weaken our country.


• His environmental policies will cost Americans jobs and put industry and factories out of business.


• The cost of energy will be driven up, and hey, you won't have Bush and his big oil friends to blame. You think you hated filling up your gas tank this past summer, you haven't seen anything yet. Home heating cost and electricity will rise too as power plants are taxed more and subject to high fines.


• Taxes are going up to pay for Obama's big government dreams. Obama started saying yesterday that expectations are going to have to be reset. It's only a matter of time until the middle class will to have to "sacrifice" with higher taxes.


• The Fairness Doctrine will be reinstated to shut opponents of Obama up. The first step will be talk radio, then Fox News and other conservative outlets, then the internet will be cleaned up to shut up Michelle Malking and other conservative bloggers up.


• The most liberal Senator will become the most liberal President. Obama supported infanticide four times in the Illinois State Senate. Infanticide is where you take a just-born baby and place it in a janitor's closet to die. You can count on your tax dollars going to pay for abortion in Obama's nationalized health care.


• The 401K program established under the Reagan administration will come under attack. The same party that brought you Fanniegate will claim they will be able to provide you with a more secure retirement than what you and your investment advisor can; therefore, they will seize your 401K and nationalize it. Democrats have already discussed plans to do this. To sucker you into it, they will print the money to restore your 401K to August levels. This will actually devalue your 401K since printing more money lowers the value of the dollar. You will be given a $600 a year adjustment for living each year ($50 a month) and you will make 3% on your money per year. I don't know about you, but I know many current 401K plans making over 11% and more each year. The Democrats came up with Social Security and it's messed up. Do you want them to control your 401K. I will liquidate mine before I let them have it! Do you hear that Barney Frank?


• Union laws will change. The closed ballot will end and this will force many small business to unionize as union thugs can use strong arm tactics to unionize these small businesses. Do you understand what that will do to prices of services and goods?


• The stock market will continue to go down as investors remove money from the market to avoid an increased the capital gains taxes that are coming.


• As the Obama administration abuses its power, don't forget we already see the Chicago factor in his decision of Chief of Staff, the second amendment will come under attack. We will see gun control laws toughen--making it harder for law abiding citizens to purchase guns to hunt with and protect their families.


• His foreign policy will be blunder after blunder putting our security in jeopardy. We should know in the first six months, according to Biden, why we aren't going to like the way he handles our enemies.

I hope for the best, but we heard what Obama said during the election. His words make me less than optimistic.

A Headline Yesterday on YAHOO!

Does this mean Peggy Joseph isn't getting her mortgage or her gas paid for by an Obama administration? I know one thing it does mean--here comes your middle class tax hike.

Don't Blame Sarah Palin: John McCain did this to Himself

This election was unique, not for the reasons that a black man or a woman was on a major ticket. No, this election was unique because you had two democrats on the ballot—Barack Obama, the extreme liberal Democrat, and John McCain, the Democrat in Republican clothes.


I admire McCain because his story of service to this country, but as a politician, I haven't been able to stomach his policy departures from the conservative side of the Republican party. His rhetoric on global warming scared me because he doesn't understand the politics of global warming--the redistribution of wealth from American industries by weakening them with unscientifically proven environmental policies. He was the victim of his own campaign finance reform bill that has proven friendlier to liberal candidates.

McCain is a moderate. He prides himself with reaching out to Democrats, and last night during his consession speech, he reached out to another Democrat, Chairman Obama. I threw up in my mouth. He still doesn't get it. Years and years of reaching out to politicians that don't share the conservative views of Reagan Republicans cost John McCain votes.

I know that because when he started to move ahead in the primaries, I wasn't going to vote for him. I shared no enthusiasm to someone who I felt sold out what my party represented. It wasn't until he picked Sarah Palin that I decided to vote for him. Yesterday, I voted for Palin, not McCain.

The political experts wish for you to believe that Palin cost McCain the election. I am not buying it. I saw how she rallied the conservatives. I was fortunate enough to get to see her speak twice during the election, once in O'Fallon, MO, just before the Republican National Convention, and at Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, MO (I got to meet her and talk to her.) Both times, the enthusiasm for her was out of this world. It rivaled that of the rock star on the other ticket.

We saw the pundits, who were mostly supporting Chairman Obama, tell us that she was dragging the ticket down. That's funny! You want Obama to win, but you are telling us that Palin is causing McCain to lose. Where's the logic in that? Of course there isn't any. You don't coach a football game and tell the losing team part of your game plan; therefore, I am convinced that several levels of liberal forces went into effect to destroy Palin.

You see, she connected with people, she had a resume, and most importantly, she was conservative. For the first time in the election, McCain was drawing the attention of people like me. I was willing to give McCain a chance because of his brilliant chose. I know there were many others that felt this way too.

What bothered liberal is that here was a woman who was going to shake up the feminist movement. She was pro-family, pro-child (life), self-made, religious, pro-Second Amendment, spunky, charismatic, and intelligent. She was everything that Gloria Steinem and company fought against. She had to be destroyed.

Sarah Palin didn't create her negative press. Did she say anything to hurt the campaign? No, of course not. When Joe Biden spoke, the press covered up his gaffes. The libs and the media carefully crafted their stories in an attempt to destory her. They wouldn't lift a finger to turn over any of the rocks covering Obama's past.


Then came the pseudo intellectual conservatives like Christopher Buckley. They wrote her off as being ignorant. Mr. Buckley, who doesn't come close to living up to the standards of his father, wasn't coherent enough to celebrate her for the accomplishments that were truly freedom's friend. Her natural gas pipeline was the work of a brilliant politician who moved towards America's energy future instead of playing partisan politics and holding the people of America hostage with high energy costs. For the record, there were many of these pseudo intellectual conservatives who said similar things about Reagan, the greatest leader of the conservative movement.

Palin was the bright spot of the McCain campaign. She was the life. She should be proud of her effort, even though no one should have had to put up with the intolerance of the liberals and the attacks on her family. She knows they attacked her to destroy her, which is a testament of who she is, a rising conservative star in the Republican party.

In the stories today coming from the McCain camp, I have to wonder if she is being attacked by people within the party for poltical purposes for 2012. Frankly, most of the arguments they ahve reported seemed petty to me. Palin will have more exprience in 2012, and will probably be considered a front runner. I am looking forward to watching her grow.

A Warning to Claire McCaskill: MISSOURI IS RED

Missouri went red, barely. None the less, let Claire McCaskill hear this. Missourians did not give Chairman Obama a mandate in our state; therefore, Claire Mc'Gas'kill shouldn't be allowed to drag this state to far left while following Chairman Obama like a love-sick puppy dog. We are watching you Claire!

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/5/2008)

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again.

The next four years may test the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Democrats threaten free speech promising to restore the Fairness Doctrine. Dear Leader Chairman Obama's record on protecting the Second Amendment his horrible. Let's remember these words from Reagan's first gubernatorial inauguration as California's governor. Let's always be prepared to fight for our freedoms and never let any politician threaten them.

Yes We Can?

Chairman Obama and his supporters now have reached the fork in the road. The speeches that so brilliantly mesmerized a movement now transform into policies and leadership. Reality soon will set in. The magic that surrounded the movement isn't going to solve the problems like many of the supporters believed. Supporters like Peggy Joseph believed that if she helped Obama that he would help her, and that she would no longer have to worry about putting gasoline in her car and paying her mortgage. She will soon discover there is no magical solution that fixes her daily needs. Barack isn't going to pump her gas, and in fact, energy might be just the start of her problems as well as ours. Barack's promise to bankrupt the coal industry will cost this country severely.

There are no magic in the words 'yes we can,' if the we is substituted for he. Many Obama supporters think the we was just coming together in masses to produce the popular vote and Obama will do the rest. This country has never worked this way. The idea the word entitlement produced a president is a scary fact. The people have become followers with their hands out looking for government to solve their everyday problems. Did you feel the energy drop in Obama's Grant Park audience when he said now we all must sacrifice?

Government has become the dope that keeps people fat and stupid while giving the illusion all their problems are fixed. Like dope, you wake up one day with the reality that your problems still exist, and the dope has only made your problems worse. In just less than four years, we will know how addictive the dope is and if this country is in need of intervention.

The truth is there is no magic in the name Obama. His history includes inexperience, indecisiveness, and most importantly division. The local newspaper recently published my response to Nelson Parnell's letter which claimed Obama's past associations don't matter. I responded that our past associations and experiences make us who we are today. The hate that Jeremiah Wright preached in the pews Obama sat in for 20 years could well be the driving force of division.

The truth is, after last night, race baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have nothing to complain about anymore. Maybe that's why Jackson was in tears last night, but race will be an issue. Obama learned the politics of race in these sermons. You can only speculate how it will play out, and you will probably be labeled a racist if you speculate realistic scenarios. Will you be called a racist if you opposed Chairman Obama?

In 2000, when Bush won the election with a Republican Congress, the liberal media said he was going to have to reach out to democrats. In similarity, Chairman Obama won with a Democrat Congress. I didn't hear the rhetoric of crossing the aisle. The Democrats, led by Americans who don't share my values, will bully Republicans in submission, and their cronies, the liberal media, will slander every Republican who doesn't go along. I'm interested to see how Joseph Lieberman is treated as well.

When I went to stand up for free speech at the Obama rally last week in hopes to try to awaken a few Obama supporters to the truth, I noticed a look in the eye of his followers. It was the same look that a cow has before they are led to slaughter. The cows trusted that farmer to feed it everyday and care for it, and then the day comes when the farmer betrays them. I wonder what the farmer thinks as he sees the slaughterhouse shrink in his rear view mirror as he drives away. Is America somewhere in that rear view mirror? Shrinking, shrinking, until she's gone?

As I Go To Bed Tonight

As I go to bed tonight, I know change is coming. Not because of skin color; although, I predict race relations may intensify for many reasons-namely Jeremiah Wright's influence on Chairman Obama. I fear for the warnings that were out there for Americans to discover--warnings that the biased media failed to pursue.

Two days before the election, stories of Chairman Obama's plan to destroy the coal industry started to surface--a few weeks too late. Just this alone should question the hope that Americans must have seen in this fresh political lightweight. The coal industry is a vital part of economy, and bankrupting it through the redistribution of wealth will destroy not just the coal industry, but other businesses as well. It will drive up costs to light and heat your home.

Now that Democrats have control, you can count on the Fairness Doctrine coming back, and possibly affecting this very media that I present to you tonight. Suppressing opponents is something Chairman Obama has done quite well, and the Fairness Doctrine will suppress opposing political thought and dialog delivered by conservatives like Rush, Hannity, Levin, and Mike Church.

Democrats can now proceed to nationalize your 401K plan. They destroyed the stock market by driving down consumer confidence and forcing banks to lend money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back. Now, you are going to pay. Word is they want to seize 401K plans and pay out 3% on them. I would much rather pull mine out and put it in my own savings account or reinvest it based on something my sister told me today. She claims once they nationalize it, you won't be able to will it to your spouse or children.

I go to bed at night knowing not every American thinks like me, although I wish they did. I would think that energy costs, free speech, and acquiring wealth for retirement are all issues that would make Americans consider their vote more carefully, and time and again this election, I spoke with people who weren't informed. They just thought it was cool they were voting for a rock star and being a part of an exciting crowd. I am afraid that the lack of education might have cost this country a great price tonight. I guess we will know more when it starts to play out in January.

I am going to enjoy the remaining days of the Bush presidency knowing he kept us safe, maintained a good economy until the Democrats took control of Congress, and upheld the Constitution. History will prove Bush right, and it will be our responsibility to make sure the history books record it that way. It too will be our responsibility after Bush to defend the Constitution at whatever cost. It's going to be attacked and has been attacked by the man who was elected tonight to protect it.

I never thought I would say this, but Hillary, I wish it was you who beat McCain.

And Now We Wait

I woke up and voted today. I followed the stories of the 'new' Black Panthers giving voters grief in Philadelphia. They weren't calling them 'new' so I pictured some old radical farts from the 60's. I waited for news story after news story today to give a sign about what is going on across our land.

I am more concerned this election than an any other time I have been aware of Presidential elections. That would be 1976 when I voted in the Weekly Reader for Jimmy Carter because of his smile. Over the next four years, even as a young kid, I would realize the mistake I had made. Reagan solidified who I was politically, and I never looked back.

Presidential election days are always intense, but there is more on the line this election. There are many freedoms that will be examined in the coming months with a democratic win tonight. Just the fact that Fairness Doctrine will raise it's ugly head and threaten to shut opposing views up. Funny thing is, those democrats didn't seem to like when I shut up the political rhetoric of Dear Leader Chairman Obama with an air horn during his Saturday night stop in Springfield, MO. In fact, I was assaulted three times by women pulling on my arm trying to secure the air horn from me. My point was to demonstrate how unfair the Fairness Doctrine is. I don't think those dimwits really got it.

I came up with a name for Claire McCaskill today. From now on, she is Claire Mc'Gas'kill thanks to the foul stench that leaves her mouth when she talks.

I pondered today why the Christian County Democrats offered ride to the polls, but never called me back. I called twice. I left a message that I would appreciate a ride to the polls and that I was excited about voting for John McCain. They never returned the message. I called again, and they said they would call me back with arrangements. They never did. How dare they try to suppress me. I guess they didn't figure they would be blogged about. Next time they should make sure they put a little asterisk on the offer with a side note saying offer open to dummycrats only.

Now I am on my way to my mom's watch party. I hope it's a celebratory one, and if it's not, I will exercise my right to disagree with the democrats with free speech. I know they might try controlling the internet too with the Fairness Doctrine, and when they do, I will just work harder to defeat their efforts to suppress free speech.

So here's to America, and possibly the most uneducated voters in American history who participated in this election. I heard one voter say that she won't have to worry about putting gas in her car and paying her mortgage if Obama is elected. Wow!

And now, the results will soon start coming in...

My Favorite Political Rhetoric of 2008

The Reagan Quote of the Day (11/4/2008)

Ronald Reagan was asked what advice he would offer a young person going out in the world today. President Reagan replied, "Vote Republican."

Election Day

Today, Americans go to the polls. Change is going to happen no matter who is elected. For the past three months I have made a case against Dear Leader Chairman Obama. I have presented the evidence and backed it up. I am just one voice-one vote (We don't have a local ACORN chapter; although, I bet the Greene County democrats probably wished we did.) I am convinced that Obama is the wrong man at the wrong time. I am not going to take up a lot of your time today, but I will leave you with a bulleted list to think about before you submit your vote.

• Obama has a history of suppressing his opponents (Alice J. Palmer, Jack Ryan, Joe the Plumber, Barbara West).


• Obama is going to raise taxes on the people who provide jobs, products, and services. There is a trickle down effect, and the cost will be passed on in lost jobs and increased prices.


• Obama has a history of division to gain power. Race relations stand to be worsened by an Obama presidency based on his past.


• Obama is weak on foreign policy and Joe Biden has a history of making the wrong decisions in foreign policy. In a changing world, does Obama understand what it takes to keep you and your family safe?


• Obama is proposing over one trillion dollars in new spending. Do you really think you are going to get a middle-class tax break?


• Obama and the democrats will try to nationalize your 401 K and take away the right for you to control you retirement investments.


• Obama will appoint the most liberal, anti-Constitutional judges to the bench.


• Obama will force higher energy cost for unproven environmental sciences. Will you be able to afford to heat and light your home if they destroy the coal industry.


• Obama will attack Second Amendment rights. He claims to be a friend to gun owners, but his community organizing efforts in Chicago never questioned Mayor Daley's extreme gun control laws.

Four years from tonight, if Obama is elected, we will have a country that we might not recognize. Obama has pledged to make fundamental changes to the philosophies of this country, and Dear Leader Chairman Obama has gone as far as saying he will put an end to certain philosophies. "One of the reasons I am running for the presidency is to bring this philosophy to an end," Obama on the free market.

I have this record showing that I warned you. It will be here for you to review until Obama supresses free speech with the Fairness Doctrine and other efforts.

Fatal Attraction: Claire McCaskill's Psycho Attraction to Obama

Do you remember the 1987 psycho thriller Fatal Attraction starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close. In the movie, Douglas has an affair while his wife is away for the weekend. The affair turns out to be a psycho attraction in which Close stalks Douglas and tries to destroy Douglas's Marriage including killing the family's pet rabbit.

Enter Fatal Attraction 2008: Claire McCaskill's Psycho Attraction. In the fall of 2006, Missouri voters chose McCaskill to represent them in the Senate on a moderate platform. Two years in the Senate and she is following one extreme liberal named Barry Obama like a love sick puppy dog, compromising all the principals that she promised Missouri voters.

If Obama is around, you can count on McCaskill someplace close, usually reciting memorized democratic talking points. I doubt she can come up with an idea on her own. Her pro-Obama interviews have brought her national attention, but I can't imagine that Missourians, bitter Americans who like Pennslyvanians cling to their guns and religion, are impressed with her switch to the far left. She likes to lie to Missouri voters about Obama's second amendment stance, but she knows Obama has never been kind to the second amendment. With McCaskill longing to gain power through her infatuation with Dear Leader Chairman Obama, you can count she will forget Missouri gun owners. Anything for dear leader, right Claire? Makes you wonder what goes on behind closed doors when Michelle isn't around, huh?

Unfortunately, we have to watch McCaskill disgrace Missourians for four more years; however, we don't necessarily have to watch this sick love affair that has unfolded before our eyes. We can keep it contained in the Senate. We can stop it tomorrow by voting against Obama. If we don't stop Obama, we will have to watch McCaskill's ogle as she attempts to give herself to Barry by moving to the extreme left, which doesn't represent the Missouri values that I grew up with. I know it probably doesn't represent your Missouri values either. If we allow this to continue by electing Barry tomorrow, Missouri values will be the pet rabbit in a boiling pot of water (watch the original if you don't recognize the reference).

In 2012, I have promised myself that I will work hard to help defeat McCaskill. She has made my list of the three worst Senators to ever represent me (#1 Obama, #2 Dick Durbin, #3 Claire). After watching her behavior and her inability to develop a coherent thought beyond a talking point, she is an embarrassment to Missourians. Let's make sure she is a one-term Senator, but most importantly Missouri, let's end this sick love affair tomorrow at the polls by keeping Missouri red.
