One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 59

It seems daily we discover new ways Obama is going to take money from you regardless of your status in American. It's not just the rich that's going to be hit hard. As we found out today, the Obama budget calls for the creation of the Automatic Workplace Pension. Since Social Security failed, they are going to try again and give it a different name. Regardless you will continue to pay at least 6% if you aren't self-employed, 12% if you are self-employed, and those rates will probably rise. Plus you will this additional money removed from your check. Obama lied when he said there would be no tax increases on the middle class. They are coming fast now.

The Definition of Conservative from a 13-Year-Old: He Gets It

For the people trying to redefine conservatism and walking away from Ronald Reagan, a 13-year-old speaking at CPAC just put you in your place. Listen to what Jonathan Krohn defind conservatism in under two minutes. I'd say he's got it down better than Chistopher Buckley at National Review does.

Obama's Forced Government Retirement Plan (Automatic Workplace Pension): Say Goodbye to Your 401K

Mel, the author of Voice for Moms, has been busy picking apart the Obama budget plan today. I guess it's a good thing it's not spring yet, because she found some very disturbing information. Pages 84 and 85 of Obama's 2010 budget contain information of a new government program that will require you to save money for your retirement through a mandatory IRA account. Employers who do not offer a retirement plan will be forced to enroll their employees into a direct deposit IRA. Remember this has been done before and it has failed. They call it Social Security. It's unclear what is going to happen if you are currently enrolled in a 401K plan, but over the past year, Democrats have discussed seizing funds in your 401K and placing them into a retirement account that the government oversees. This seems like a step in that direction.

It is called Automatic Workplace Pension which does the following: employees will be automatically enrolled in workplace pension plans. Employers who do not currently offer a retirement plan will be required to enroll their employees in a direct-deposit IRA account that is compatible with existing direct-deposit payroll systems.

Everyone be sure to visit Voice for Moms and give her a big thanks for this find. More freedoms are dying under Obama, and they are getting more of your money no matter how much you make.

Obama's Military Strategy: The Real Reason Obama is Leaving Troops in Iraq and Increasing Forces in Afghanistan

To the dismay of Democrats and liberals, Obama decided to leave 50,000 troops in Iraq even after the withdrawal planned for August 31, 2010. Obama announced earlier he was going to step up efforts in Afghanistan by nearly 20,000 troops. One has to wonder why Obama chances upsetting his base and Democrats in Congress over Bush's 'failed' (according to Democrats) war efforts. After all, the primary strategy of the Democrats over the past seven years was to politicize the war to discredit Bush and lower his approval ratings.

We already are well area Obama watches his approval numbers. After falling quickly in the Gallup poll a month into his term, Obama quickly drove the rhetoric to the positive side with hope and change again with his address in front of Congress.

What is Obama's strategy in becoming Barack the Warmonger? I can't help but think back to the days after the election when Obama announced he wanted to create a civilian military force, and then I look at the loyalty the Marines had for George W. Bush compared to the ho hum they gave Dear Leader. Do you believe the Marines Obama spoke to this week have his loyalty, or is their loyalty to the country as we know it and love it and to the Constitution? I tend to believe towards the latter.

If Obama begins to take this country down a radical path and creates an uprising from the true patriots in this country to move against Obama, the more troops located overseas will be less resistance for Obama. God and country loving troops are less likely to pull the trigger against their own no matter what Obama's orders are. If Obama stretches our soldiers around the world, leaving them thin in states side, his new civilian army can march against those who rebel against the changes occurring in the country.

Call me crazy, but I never thought I would hear an American president call to create a civilian military for stateside purposes. I might be totally off track, and I hope I am. I also believe Obama is very cold and calculated. I don't believe what he says, and I believe his goal is the death of the America we know for the birth of the Amerika he and his radical associations have longed for.

Recently Alan Colmes interviewed William Ayers. Why would Bill Ayers suddenly interview with Fox News? There was something he said during the interview. He said he didn't agree with the direction Obama was going in with Iraq and Afghanistan. The #3 rule for radicals states that you should cause confusion. What if Ayers is confusing us by telling the world this isn't the direction you would expect from Obama in order to confuse is over the truth Obama may have bigger plans? I would watch this military situation very closely. Obama could easily weaken stateside forces to his advantage to lessen the threat of revolution at home. If Obama creates his civilian military and large numbers of troops are rushed overseas, get concerned--get very concerned.

Do You Trust Someone Who Doesn't Look You in the Eye?:Obama Never Looks Forward

Barack Obama has a pattern when he speaks. He makes a hard left with his head, and he makes a hard right. He rarely looks forward to look you in the eyes. He seems to stare above the people he speaks to, symbolizing his power over them. I have never trusted people who don't look me straight in the eyes, and I consider looking straight forward into the camera looking you in the eyes when you are in front of a camera.

I point this out because there is a lot to be said about Obama's head movements when he speaks. Obviously the trust issue comes to mind. I also think symbolizes that we are no longer moving forward with the principles of the founding fathers. Although Obama is well-established in his political beliefs, it's as if he looks in the other direction for answers as a form of rhetoric. Considering how quickly he has moved to pass his agenda, this is only a rhetorical tool. He knows how he will move the country without looking for answers. Looking forward seems to symbolize the direction of our founding fathers, which he rarely does. He looks away from the foundation of our country and onto other political philosophies. I feel if he looked us in the eye, it would give him away.

The Top Blogs of February 2009: Bungalow Bill's Month in Review

Here are the top blogs for February 2009:

1. As Obama der Fuhrer maneuvered against the Constitution to gain power not granted to him, state legislatures across the nation began to react with sovereignty bills. New Hampshire's HCR-6 gained national exposure inspiring other states to move forward with theirs. If Obama is to be defeated, it must be done by restoring the states rights and described in the Federalist Papers. New Hampshire's HCR-6 Demands Return of Power to New Hampshire based on Jeffersonian/Constitutional Principles.


2. The liberal came out in numbers to attack me for attacking the Democrats and their weatherization. They failed to understand how insulted I was by Democrats, who attempt in some communities in this country, to steal another right of mine while spending billions on weatherization.


3. Travis the Chimp was big news this month. The death of Travis sparked a fierce political debate over a political cartoon. For years, Democrats and liberals got away with comparing George W. Bush to a chimpanzee (not the #3 blog, but worth your time), but compare Pelosi and Congress to a monkey, and the libs quickly throw the race card. It really shows the ignorance of the liberal media and liberals in general. They tried to say the chimp was Obama, but Obama asked for the stimulus bill. He didn't write it. That means Pelosi and company represents the chimpanzee. The blog covering the Travis the Chimp political cartoon is number 3 for February.


4. A simple inventor named Alfred Brock was a little excited about his new invention. He wanted to show it to Dear Leader, and was arrested outside of the White House. Police found a gun in the truck. He was later released.


5. New Hampshire HCR-6 hit a road block during early debate. We hope they keep fighting and declare their right to sovereignty.


6. Michael Phelps was stupid enough to have his pictures taken of him with a bong. I was amazed at the stupider people who came to my site and didn't read what I wrote and commented disregarding the real issue. Phelps broke the rules of USA Swimming. They aren't my rules, but they are rules he agreed to when he applied for their license to allow him to swim in their events. He was deserving of his three month suspension from the sport.


7. The popularity of the New Hampshire HCR-6 blogs show that we aren't a nation who all bow down to Obama's feet. Many of us are quite fearful of his desires to change the United States to his interpretation of a socialist Utopia.


8. The next position really bothers me. I think the people coming to my site were looking for information about the video game which you score points for raping young women. Judging from my search terms that brought them to my site, I judge they were wanting to play the game or at least see what it was about. RapeLay was banned from Amazon earlier this month.


9. The next blog is a blog I didn't write, but it showed the evils of Obama's intentions hidden in the stimulus plan. The nationwide patient health care database is one of the first steps to nationalizing health care in this country. In recent days the Obama administration has run from terms like nationalization and Fairness Doctrine, but as we discovered with the Fairness Doctrine, they can pass a Fairness Doctrine without calling it a Fairness Doctrine. Does anyone remember the HBO show Not Necessarily the News? They used to play a video clip of Dan Rather, sounding rather stupid, saying if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Well, remember that when it comes to Obama.


10. Not all entertainers support Obama. Etta James said a few colorful words about Obama this month, and she made the top ten at Bungalow Bill's Conservative Wisdom.

Since Obama's Redistribution of Wealth Plans Are Moving Forward, Let's Reexamine the Redistribution of Wealth Game

Obama announced several big plans this week that are designed to redistribute wealth. From higher taxes on the rich, which may put them in a 60% tax bracket, to carbon permits, liberal cheer as long as it's not their own money. We also now know liberals are willing to attack the little guys to gain more wealth. As in Sheryl Crow's case, she thinks she should be paid every time her records a played on the radio. She doesn't care that may just put thousands of disc jockeys out of work, not to mention rob Julio Osegueda from his dream.

Let's go back to the days when I was working hard to gain readers for this blog, and look at how an Obama supporter didn't necessarily support Obama's philosophies and vision for America. But first you need some background.

Let's play the Redistribution of Wealth Game:

This game is going to take some courage, but I assure you it will be fun. There might even be some surprise rewards in it. Here's how we play.

During my numerous fall bicycle rides on the south side of Springfield and the north side of Ozark, I have noticed many beautiful homes that many would consider mansions. They usually have huge front yards, nice gates, and of course very large homes with usually a Volvo, BMW, or Mercedes sitting out front. You want to look for the ones with Volvos in front of them because you should also notice that there will be an Obama sign in the front yard.Here are the rules of the game:

1. When you see a house that matches the above description, go up to the door and ring the door bell (more than likely the bell will be a medley and not a simple ring).

2. When the person answers introduce yourself and shake their hand.

3. Next ask them if they would go ahead and write that check to you and let them know you really need it at this time.

4. When they give you a crazy look at them, point out the sign in the front yard and let them know that you thought they might be excited to get the policies of Obama started and figured they might want to begin redistributing their wealth before the election as proposed by Obama and exposed by Joe the Plumber.

Now let's see what a hard-core Obama supporter really thinks about Obama's redistribution of wealth plans.

I was driving home from my mother's house in Nixa, Missouri (birthplace of Jason Bourne), I found my first Obama sign. Next to the Obama sign was a tomato sign. I could already see this playing out.

I parked my car in front of his house and not in the driveway. I figured that was safe. I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. A gentlemen comes out of his garage, and I let him know I am here for some tomatoes. He grabbed a grocery bag, and walked me to the scale where there were a lot of tomatoes. Perfect!

"Wow, you have a WEALTH of tomatoes. I don't have the WEALTH of tomatoes that you do."

He smiled at me. "Yeah me and my partner grew them about 15 miles down the road," he said.

He started telling me that he sells them for $2 a pound. I looked at him confused. "I don't understand. I saw your sign out there that said tomatoes, and then I saw your other sign, and I thought you were all for redistributing your wealth of tomatoes."

He looked at me puzzled.

I went on to explain. "I see your for Obama. He supports the redistribution of wealth. Do you support his redistribution of wealth plan?"

He said, "yes I do.

"I said, "Let me get this straight, you think it's okay for Obama to take some one's hard work and money and then spread it around to people who don't work."

"Yes, I do," he said, "and you aren't going to change my mind."

"OK, but when it comes to your hard work that you have in these tomatoes, it's not okay to spread them around, right?"

"Why you... you better get out of here before I kick your ass!" He then proceeded to chase me out of his driveway.

I'm ornery, but I proved my point. Obama supporters are okay with the redistribution of wealth, as long as it's not theirs.

Obama HIV Scare: Man Arrested for Targeting Dear Leader

When I woke up and read the headline today, I thought maybe there is some truth behind the Larry Sinclair and Barack Obama gay relationship which Sinclair has claimed. I noticed a tabloid at Walmart last night was running the Obama is gay story. The question is how was a man targeting Obama with HIV, the traditional way or the crazy way. It turns out it was the crazy way.

Apparently a Chicago man was arrested for sending Dear Leader and his staff envelopes containing HIV positive blood. Saad Hussein, (What is it with men that carry the name Hussein? They all seem insane to me and we have example numero uno leading us.) an Ethiopian refugee, sent a letter with reddish stains and a ticket to Dear Leaders unpaid for Grant Park election night celebration to the state office building in Illinois. There are a lot of people who obviously don't like our Hussein.

HAZMAT teams were rushed to the Illinois Department of Aging and the Illinois Department of Revenue (the nice people who lost one of my tax payments even though the check cleared my bank). After the offices were locked down, they come to find out bloody Hussein is an admirer of Dear Leader Hussein. That's some way to show it!

It turns out bloody Hussein has never held a job in the three years he has lived in the United States. Obviously there is love for him from Dear Leader Hussein who will push all sorts of benefits towards bloody Hussein in the months to come. Not to mention, how many thousands of dollars the refugee cost the state of Illinois with this strange symbol of affection for Dear Leader. He is under psychological observation, obviously at the cost of the taxpayer. Wouldn't it have been simpler to ship Insane Hussein back to Ethiopia?

As for Larry Sinclair, a former Obama buddy, he still claims he snorted cocaine with Obama and then did the dirty with the future Dear Leader. This is how all the Clinton scandals started, well sort off. His scandals were named Jennifer, Paula, Kathleen, and Monica--not Larry.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (2/28/09)

The other day, someone told me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same difference between a jacket and a straight jacket.

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days and Lots of Tea on its way to the Capitol

I stood with about 300 other patriotic Americans who don't want to see Obama turn this country into a socialist hell. We don't believe in Utopia. As I stood there saying the Pledge of Allegiance, a tear rolled down my eye. I felt like I have been watching my country die. We were all there to protest something that may be hard to stop, and it's not like people weren't warned. There's a reason why Joe the Plumber was the bad guy. He exposed all of what was about to take place.

I listened to Mark Levin on the way home. He predicted the yuppies and quasi yuppies living in suburbia would soon wake up and turn on Obama. Of course Obama will have already raised their taxes, Social Security, and Medicare rates. How could anyone doubt it's coming now?

Here's my totals:

Sheryl Crow: All I Wanna Do (Is Charge You For Playing My Songs)

Back in 1993, how many times a day did we have to listen to Billy peeling the labels of his bottle of Bud? Enough for Sheryl Crow to become a household name and very wealthy. Radio stations everywhere were playing All I Wanna Do helping Crow's dream come true. Now Crow wants to punish the same people who played her music so she could make more CDs, go on her massive carbon footprint tours, and tell the world they should use only one piece of toilet paper. Crow testified in front of Congress that radio stations should pay her and other entertainers every time they play their songs. Congress has introduced legislation that forces radio stations to pay musicians to play their music. They want to destroy talk radio. They want to destroy music radio. I think they just want to destroy every avenue of the free market they can.

Here's an idea. How about all the radio stations ban Crow's music forever and never help her sell a CD again. This is just crazy. She wouldn't be anything had radio stations not worn out All I Wanna Do, and this is how she returns the favor. I guess the cost of a single piece of toilet paper has gone up in the past few weeks or something? I don't know how else to understand her craziness and her greed. Or perhaps, she understands that Obama is about to take a huge chunk of her money and she now has buyers remorse over her vote. Anyway you look at it Sheryl Crow is another preachy liberal who only cares about herself.

Photos From Springfield, Missouri's Tea Party: Protesting Obama, Pelosi, Stimulus & Bailouts

Springfield, Missouri participated in the nationwide tea party protesting the spending and the policies of Barack Obama. Here are some pictures from the event:

I want Jay Nixon to look this kid in the eyes and tell him how him about the all money that his generation, according to Governor Nixon, will be forced to pay back because of the Democrat's outrageous spending spree. I want Governor Nixon to tell the kid how we are borrowing the money from the Chinese, and what that means in terms of interest and other political issues. Let's not forget what the results of printing more money means for this kid.

This is Chuck Knight, who I met in 1992 while working on the reelection of George H.W. Bush at the Greene County Republican Headquarters. We both miss Sarge and know he would have been there today if he was still with us.

This is conservative talk show host for KSGF in Springfield, Vincent David Jericho with another one of the event's organizers.

Semper Fi: Marines Give Obama Cold Response Unlike Rowdy Responses Given to George W. Bush

The dichotomy between the Marines reception of George W. Bush after nearly seven years of war and Barack Obama after one month in office is amazing. Two words excited these Marines, and they are two words that excite every Marine--Semper Fi. Other than that, these Marines seemed cold to their new Commander and Chief. I can't say that I blame them.

Please watch both videos:





These Marines have sworn to protect the Constitution of the United States first and before carrying out the orders of the President of the United States. I think we know whose side they are on.

Letter Challenging Jay Nixon May Get Published in the Springfield News-Leader

My letter challenging Governor Jay Nixon may receive some more media time. Earlier today, while I was at the Springfield Tea Party, the Springfield News-Leader e-mailed requesting a picture. They said they wanted to print the letter with a picture of the writer. I hope the newspaper run alerts people to the truth of Jay Nixon’s words, which I don’t think have received enough exposure.

Food Stamps Rise at the Fastest Rate in Missouri's History Under Governor Nixon: Governor Nixon's Reversal of the Blunt Welfare Reforms Hurting State

One in six Missourians are on food stamps. Last month Governor Nixon relaxed the welfare roles creating one million new food stamp users in the state of Missouri, according to Rush Limbaugh today. At the same time, Missouri legislators are voting to reduce the school week by one day to cut costs. Our priorities under Missouri Governor Jay Nixon are misguided. During Nixon's first month in office, he reversed the welfare reform accomplishments of Governor Matt Blunt. Missouri will soon be on the list of states needing a bailout.

The First Report from the Springfield, Missouri Tea Party: Springfield, Missouri Patriots Gather to Protest Obama, Stimulus, Spending, and Taxes

About 300 patriots showed up on the banks of the James River in Springfield, MO to protest Barack Obama and the Democrats stimulus spending, omnibus earmark spending, the Obama budget, and the planned tax increases. People showed up with signs, American flags, and lots of tea. I quickly bumped into Chuck Knight, who I worked with in 1992 at the Greene County Republican Headquarters.

The ceremony began with an introduction by Vincent David Jericho, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Star Spangled Banner. The history of the tea party was highlighted and placed in a modern perspective. Everyone formed two lines and dumped the tea into plastic bags. There are three tentative plans for the tea, but the favorite was to send the tea to Senator Jim DeMint who plans to dump the total accumulated tea on the floor of the Senate.

After the tea was dumped in the bag, various members of the community gave patriotic speeches. I had to cut the event short to get back to work. I will post pictures of the event later this evening.

Mike Church on Sirius Patriot May Read My Letter and Challenge to Jay Nixon on his Show Today

Eariler this week, as the news was spreading about Jay Nixon's comments about passing on the stimulus debt and interest to Missouri's children and grand children, I forwarded the link to Mike Church. He immediately played the clip after the break.

Today may be a huge day for some national exposure. Earlier today, I was on the Mancow show discussing the stock market. Last night, after sending my Challenge to Jay Nixon to Mike Church of Sirius Patriot, he responded letting me know that he had a very busy day scheduled for the show today but will try to read my challenge on the air.

Here’s the reply from Mike “King Dude” Church.

Oooh! Well done my friend.

Tomorrow is VERY busy for us BUT if I have time I will very much enjoy sharing your outrage with the audience. Thanks and keep up the pressure!

Mike Church

Mike sent me a second e-mail later in the evening, after I discussed my goals. He said something we all need to keep in mind.

We are not helpless we are powerless at this point but in numbers we will grow. Keep writing!

M C

Mike Church is the only reason I kept my Sirius subscription and turned it into a lifetime subscription. He has an amazing conservative show that’s deeply rooted in the Constitution. He is the reason to get Sirius. Andrew Wilkow follows Mike, but I have been a Ditto Head for nearly twenty years. When Rush has a guest host, I listen to the Wilkow Majority on Sirius.

August 31, 2010: Mission Accomplished

The sign hanging behind Obama, Harry Reid, and the rest of the spineless Democrats reads 'Mission Accomplished.' There won't be American flag, just white flags. The Democrats won the war, at least they won the right to lose the war. On August 31, 2010, the final American brigades will leave Iraq after months of American brigades slowly coming home.

Now that there is a clear date, it is essential to teach the new government in Iraq to defend itself, but Obama's lack of foreign policy vision doesn't give me hope. I look for a needless Civil War to break out in Iraq once we leave. Thanks to President Bush and the surge, things are under control in Iraq, but a quick withdrawal will unravel the progress with the surge.

Sure, I don't like war, but cutting out over doing the job right and making sure Iraq is at peace within it's boundaries is the wrong thing to do. Obama's naive foreign policy efforts will sacrifice lives, Americans included.

I Thought Hillary Was a Friend to Israel: Only During Elections, Right Hillary?

"I'm a very strong supporter of Israel," Hillary Clinton exclaimed as she maneuvered for post White House life. Knowing New York's rich Jewish culture, Hillary's meaningless words generated support many Jews now regret as she continues to work against Israel.

Hillary is no friend to Israel. In fact, recently she promised $900 million dollars to restore the Hamas infected Gaza Strip. Yesterday, she demanded Israel to speed up their aid to Gaza and the terrorists there.

Of course, the Obama administration would never admit to aiding Hamas. They are giving the money to the Palestinian Authority. Hamas will benefit from your tax dollars.

Jewish community leaders in the United States, who have been fooled by Hillary's agenda for many years, are finally turning on her. They are another group used by the Democrats for many years--Democrats who promise support for Israel and then curse Israel behind closed Congressional doors.

"I am very surprised, frankly, at this statement from the United States government and from the secretary of state," said Mortimer Zuckerman, publisher of the New York Daily News and member of the NYC Jewish Community Relations Council.

Mr. Zuckerman, Hillary never loved Israel or the Jewish people. You were all little pawns wiped out by the evil queen's words. You voted for her and she took you off the chess board. I hope you are wakening to how the Democrats use minorities to gain their power.

Americans don't owe the Palestinians a dime. I am mad as hell that our tax dollars, which is now money we are borrowing from China, is being handed to a region that promotes terrorism, the death of Israel, and no love the United States.

Obama's foreign policy is a disaster out of the gate. I can't help but think how many Americans will die because of his radical ideas and hidden support for Hamas.

Do Something Meaningful on Your Lunch Hour in Springfield, MO Today

Our country is under attack from the long-term planning of the radical, left-wing agenda of Obama and Pelosi. They are recklessly spending money in Washington which they don't have. They have asked China to fund some of it, and they are printing more. The Democrats call it stimulus. Since when is controlling the odor of pigs (I am not referring to Pelosi, but to the additional $410 billion they approved day after the stimulus), removal of gang tattoos, and forcing a national health care database stimulus.

It is time to come together as one against these forces that rob Americans of a better future with increased taxes and liberty and as our stimulus bloated governor said, force Missouri's kids and grandchildren to pay many years after we are gone.

The symbolic start of the American revolution was the Boston tea party. Today, across America, American will participate in their own tea parties. Vincent David Jericho of KSGF will host Springfield's tea party at noon today at Lake Springfield Park. I will be there, and I encourage you to as well. I hope we never have to take up arms as prescribed in the Constitution to protect ourselves from an oppressive federal government who are willing to rob Americans of their Constitutional rights. As I see more regulations placed on the First and Second Amendments and the reduction of states rights promised in the Tenth Amendment, we might on day find ourselves fighting harder than we needed to in order to preserve our way of life and our Constitution. Let your voice be the weapon for liberty and freedom today. I hope to see you at Springfield Lake Park. It starts at noon.

Governor Jay Nixon Exposes the Evil Truth About the Democrat Party, Yeah, It's for the Children All Right

Children have been a part of political campaigns since before I was born. From Lyndon Johnson to Obama, Democrats love to use children as part of their political rhetoric. Creepy in a pedophilia way, it's always for the children. Johnson's classic Daisy ad was the first time I saw children exploited for political gain. A camera creeps up on an innocent on an innocent child counting daisy petals, as if the camera is a stalker ready to attack the child. The little girl looks up and a nuclear bomb explodes. Suddenly, in an almost eerily celebratory tone, LBJ begins to speak.




Bill Clinton used it's for the children to create pathos for his many of his programs, and the children didn't grow up with Clinton. Remember the ponytailed guy in the debate begging the candidates to pretend we're your children and then wanting to know how the candidates were going to take care of him if they were the President.

The 2008 election saw its share of children. Once again they were a theme for health care and welfare. In reality, they are mere steps to nationalized health care. Hillary tried topping the LBJ ad with the 3 A.M. ad in hopes to derail Obama. She forgot one thing. We never saw Hillary as the loving mother. She was always the ambitious power grabber.

Obama had the brainwashed sounding children singing his praises (little did they know how much it was going to cost to sing to Obama). Obama quickly acted to fill his promise to make sure all children were covered medically with SCHIP, even the older children like the guy at the Clinton debate. Yes a common theme of the Democrats is ‘it’s for the children.’

We found out what for the children means thanks to the stimulus bloated Governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon. That's right, Jeremiah J. Nixon explained in detail this week what for the children mean. It means we are spending money so rapidly but we don't have to worry about it. We plan to pass it off to Missouri's children and grandchildren. It's for the children all right.

You see, I am tired of the Democrats using children to drum up meaningless campaign rhetoric. They view children like they view you and I. They are future taxpayers just like most of us were future taxpayers at one point in our lives. There's only two things the Democrats care about, you vote and getting as much of your income as they can. There's nothing patriotic about the Democratic party these days. In fact, what Governor Nixon said this week is far worse than anything they have former Governor Rod Blagojevich saying. Why is that? Those of us who lived in Illinois under Blagojevich knew he was full of it. It was no surprise when it came out. Governor Blagojevich disgraced his office. What Governor Nixon said was the equivalent of spitting on each child not only in Missouri, but across our nation.

I should thank Governor Nixon at the same time. After all, he once again showed the true colors of the Democrats. Not only that, but he removed the for the children argument out of politics. I am willing to bet on one truth about Governor Nixon. I bet his courage is limited to C-Span. I am challenging Governor Nixon to come to Southwest Missouri and tell the parents and the children in Southwest Missouri, and across the state for that matter, who is going to pay for this massive debt occurred by the Obama spending spree. He's welcome to come to my house for coffee to discuss this matter with me. I want him to look the children in the face and tell them how much each child in the country is going to be responsible for once they graduate from high school and join the ranks of taxpayers. Something tells me Nixon doesn't have the balls to tell the children what he told a faceless talking-head on C-Span. We shall see.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (2/27/09)

We Americans are slow to anger. We always seek peaceful avenues before resorting to the use of force -- and we did. We tried quiet diplomacy, public condemnation, economic sanctions, and demonstrations of military force. None succeeded. Despite our repeated warnings, Qadhafi continued his reckless policy of intimidation, his relentless pursuit of terror. He counted on America to be passive. He counted wrong. I warned that there should be no place on Earth where terrorists can rest and train and practice their deadly skills. I meant it. I said that we would act with others, if possible, and alone if necessary to ensure that terrorists have no sanctuary anywhere. Tonight, we have.

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 57 | The New Era of Carbon Taxes and a Trillion Dollars in Other New Taxes

It looks like corporations will be taxed for their carbon output with the announcement of Obama’s Carbon Permits. Permit is a nice word for tax. Think about it. When you buy a hunting permit, you are paying a tax to be given a right. In this case, you are given the right to hunt. Now industries will have to purchase a permit to produce. The same guy who is convincing you he can save the economy, is regulating the hell out of the businesses that are key to saving the economy. Why is this so hard for a man, who we are told is so, so smart, to understand?

Those of us who really know Barack Obama know once these permits become law, industry regulations choke the remaining American industries, and Americans are forced to cars smaller than Mini Coopers, global warming, according to Obama and the liberals will be worse than they first believed when they passed these restrictive laws in 2009. They will raise carbon taxes higher and create new carbon taxes. Those who celebrate the carbon permit know not what they have just done.

Obama announced nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes today. He doesn't have a clue how to jump start the economy. Here's a breakdown of how the government is going to steal more for you. Yup, this is the change 46% of voters didn't ask for, but will get ripped off nonetheless.

On people making more than $250,000 (Count on this number coming way down, say like to $60,000, since the math doesn't add up based on the number of taxpayers at that rate.):

$338 billion - Bush tax cuts expire (we all get a tax increase, not just the $250,000)

$179 billlion - eliminate itemized deduction

$118 billion - capital gains tax hike

Total: $636 billion/10 years

Businesses:

$17 billion - Reinstate Superfund taxes
$24 billion - tax carried-interest as income

My Letter and Challenge to Governor Jay Nixon

Dear Governor Jay Nixon,

For years, I have heard the Democrats fill campaign speeches with it’s for the children to justify wasteful spending and new taxes--taxes which often rob families of the extra money needed to enjoy quality time together on vacations and weekend getaways. When I was a child, my dad earned enough to take care of our family. As a teenager, the tax burden combined with the cost of living took away from the family time we once shared and forced my mother to find work.

Earlier this week, I found out what for the children really means. For Democrats, who have gone on a spending spree in Washington unparallel to any time in our nation’s history, children are simply the next generation of American taxpayers to pay for this reckless spending. On C-Span this week, when asked about the stimulus, without any remorse you said we would spend the stimulus money in Missouri and pass the expense of our government’s mistakes to Missouri’s kids and grandkids.

It must be easy to tell a C-Span reporter the truth. What shocked me most was the lack of regret in your answer. It seemed no big deal to you that our current administration is creating a debt that will be passed on to generations of Americans. Well Mr. Nixon, that hasn’t set well with me the more I consider your words.

Instead of telling a C-Span reporter, I want you to visit my home and tell the children in my life what all of this debt means to their future. You owe them an apology sir for your careless words, which I have no doubt is the way you feel. This spending spree isn’t a game so you can get your name on as many buildings in Missouri during your term as Governor. This is a debt that’s going to have long-term consequences in Missouri and our nation. Frankly, I am tired of the Democrats lack of respect towards taxpayers, our country, and most importantly the next generations of Americans.

So Mr. Nixon, I am demanding you come to my home and tell these children what this debt means to them.

Sincerely,

Clayton Bowler



This letter has been submitted to Governor Nixon, KY3, KOLR 10, KSFX 27, KSPR 33, The Springfield News Leader, the Mike Church show on Sirius Patriot, and the Vincent David Jericho radio program.

Timothy Geithner's Experience Vs. Reality

Defeat Obama and the Democrats With the Power of the Federalist Papers: Contact Your Representatives Today

Combining state and federal government gives me two U.S. Senators, one Congressman, one state senator, and one state representative.

My two U.S. Senators are:
Christopher ‘Kit’ Bond-R
Claire McCaskill-D

My representative in Congress is Roy Blunt-R, 7th Congressional district in Missouri.

My state senator is Dan Clemons-R, district 020.

My state representative is Raymond Weter-R, district 142.

You can easily find out this information at www.votesmart .org with your nine-digit zip code. This is the first part of the assignment. It’s essential you collect every person who represents you in the legislative branch of your state and federal government.

The next part of defeating Obama and the Democrats is restoring power back to the states like Thomas Jefferson and the forefathers prescribed when they wrote the Federalist Papers which led to ratifying the Constitution. The Federalist Papers are the backbone of the Constitution and what you should read before interpreting the Constitution.

Many states like New Hampshire (HCR-6) and Missouri (HR-212) introduced sovereignty bills during the past few months. These bills reduce the roles of the federal government and restore it to the states. We need to discover which legislators support limiting the power of the federal government and restoring the power of the states.

Now you need to contact each of the legislators listed above and send them the following e-mail.

Dear XXXX,

I am concerned by the growing power and size of the federal government. Many states have recently introduced sovereignty bills to return the power to the states based on the Federalist Papers and the Constitution. What are your thoughts about a sovereignty bill in our state?

I appreciate your opinion,

XXXX

If that legislator supports the sovereignty bill in your state, then add a point to the voting scoreboard in their favor. If they don’t, do not vote for the legislator when they run for reelection. If a Republican says they support it, mark two strikes against them. This is the only way we are going to defeat the Democrats run on power in this country. The states must stand up for their rights.

Mike Huckabee Names the Stimulus Bill

I thought this little explanation on Obama and Pelosi's stimulus from Mike Huckabee was worth posting. The Congressional Relief Action Program, enjoy!

The Obama Disclaimers: Holding the President to the Same Language Government Standards Imposed on Advertisers

Obama's message to Congress, well, all of Obama's speeches are really long drawn out commercials selling Obama's naive vision for America. Many people buy into it without really thinking much about what he said--you know, the impulse buyers. I tend to think Obama likes these voters the best. He's got four years to deal with buyer's remorse.

These tend to make up a majority of Obama voters. If you really listen to his message, he presents a bi-polar plan. He wants to save the auto industry in one sentence, and then further regulate them into bankruptcy the next. He celebrates the massive spending of the stimulus in one sentence, and then preaches financial responsibility in the next. Obama is a bi-polar leader, governing from both polls. He actually sounds conservative at times, and then he heads back to the other pole. His magnetic pull is strongest on the left pole. The other pole is an illusion of words.

I am reminded of when I began designing Web sites. I designed a Web site for a local Ozark dental office with a team of two other designers. We quickly learned the laws required to prevent the dentist from getting in trouble with the state. This general dentist offered orthodontic services including Invisalign. As we wrapped up the site, we had to put an disclaimer on the Web site which read: Dr. Dentist is a general dentist and is not a specialist in orthodontics. At the time, this was a new law in Missouri. Apparently, one woman was upset that the orthodontic treatment her child received wasn't performed by a specialist, contacted the Missouri State Dental Board, and they worked with Jefferson City to pass a law requiring the verbiage.

After listening to Obama rattle on during Tuesday night's address, we need to require Obama to place the same disclaimers underneath his promises.

Let's start with the promise to find a cure for cancer:

Obama is a slimy lawyer and a community activist. He may have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express during the campaign, but he is not an oncologist.

Here's another claim Obama made during his address that needs a disclaimer:

Over the next two years, this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs.

Obama has never ran a small business or major corporation in his life. For his plan to guarantee 3.5 million jobs, he has to have the approval of the free market which sees a need and hires people accordingly. If there are 3.5 million new jobs created with livable salaries and good benefits, chances are Obama had nothing to do with it unless the government received massive and suffocating growth during his tenure.

When Obama brags about spending nearly $2 trillion dollars in his first month in office, the following disclaimer should scroll across your TV screen:

According to Governor Jay Nixon, it will be fun spending the money but your children and grandchildren will be left paying the debt for many years.

We really need the let's correct the global warming lie disclaimer the next time any Democrat claims that all science and scientists believe in global warming:

According to over 650 reputable scientists, man-made global warming may be a political scam. There is not a consensus in the scientific community that global warming is happening.

When Obama promises no earmarks in his budget:

Removing gang symbol tattoos from dangerous gang members is only an earmark if the tattoo is located on the gang member's ear, in which the federal government will offer no assistance in removing.

I have no doubt that every word that comes out Obama's mouth needs a disclaimer. When you go promising the world to people like Peggy Joseph, disclaimers protect the stupid and should be required. We all know Stimulus II is coming; perhaps, the office of Obama disclaimers for all of his faith-healing promises. That's probably enough to add $100 billion to the growing-faster-than-ever deficit, but it's really not needed since this site provides the disclaimers you need to survive the Obama administration.

'Carbon Permits': A Nice Word for Obama's New Cap-and-Trade Carbon Taxes

Obama’s new budget includes large carbon taxes, known as carbon permits (Don’t you love how they think we are stupid?), which the administration is counting on an additional $300 billion. Just what companies in the struggling economy need, more money leaving their bank accounts in the form of taxes. Of course, these companies aren’t going to pay for their carbon permits. They are going to pass the costs on to you when you buy their products and services.

The permits are required for any company that releases green house gasses linked to global warming. Does anyone else see the danger with this? Don’t all companies release CO2 just by hiring people who breathe? Obama includes carbon dioxide, an essential gas for life on earth.

The plan lacks details currently, but the Obama administration predicts the permits will be required by 2012. It will follow the cap-and-trade system. The government will place a limit—a cap—and when that cap is reached, the taxman cometh. No doubt, the corporations will be forced into purchasing the equipment needed to monitor their emissions, and there will be some punk from the government watching them like a hawk, getting in the way of their production, and furthering their financial hardships.

Alarming: The Out of Control Spending of Obama and the Democrats and What They Are Passing on to the Children (Including Sasha and Malia)

What's Obama's legacy? Spend and then spend some more. And what's it matter? According to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, we won't have to worry about paying it back because we can leave it to the the children and grand children.

After negotiation a trillion dollars of spending down to $750+ billion, the Democrats got the last laugh after the Democrats in the House passed another $410 billion in spending, which includes projects like the removal of gang tattoos at the tax payer's expense. Obama's new budget includes so much spending that the administration is predicting a $1.75 trillion deficit. All this on the heels of Obama demanding financial responsibility from all of us and promising to cut the deficit by 2/3. In the middle of the recession, Obama promises to increase taxes in energy, capital gains, and on the rich. I told you energy prices were going up, and the government will be the blame--not the oil companies.

According the House Budget Committee's minority Web site, even before Obama's budget is debated, they are predicting a $1.3 trillion deficit. That's nearly three times the deficit left by George W. Bush in his final year. The budget creates a double-dipping effect. That is, sectors of the economy that received billions like alternative energy receives billions more in Obama's budget. The National Endowment of the Arts received $50 million in the stimulus package and receives another $21 million in Obama's budget.

The earmarks which Obama promised no earmarks. The new budget contains $11 billion in earmarks. From the fore mentioned tattoo removal to pig odor management to a water taxi service, earmarks are out of control under Obama. Funny how Obama's promises don't mean a thing, and no one cares.

Democrats loved attacking Ronald Reagan for deficit spending. Reagan's pocket book had limits, Obama doesn't. Obama is on path to double or triple the deficit during his term. He's not going to cut the deficit as promised. Obama is full of number two! But, it really doesn't matter does it Jeremiah J. Nixon? The children can pay for the Democrat's evil ways. Someone needs to take the Bank of Commuinist China Visa Card from Obama.

Barack the Warmonger: Liberal Outrage With Obama's War Spending? Anyone? Anyone?

Obama's pledged to spend over $75 billion on two wars that have suddenly been taken off the radar screens of liberals in the country. They are no longer accusing the President of war for oil, of course we know Obama would never do anything to actually help the American economy. Liberal war critics have been hushed as Obama continues the 'Bush' wars. Even some of the largest war critics continue to Obamagasm as Obama announces he may continue surveillance (wire tapping) to listen to our enemies, seek $75 billion to fund the war, and send more troops to Afghanistan. There are no talk of war crimes, even though the military bombed a country we aren't at war with at the end of January.

Liberals aren't discussing a crises in leadership in Washington, despite the astronomical amounts of money Obama spends. The liberals complained about ever dime spent on the war, but now the President can spend trillions which includes war funding, and hardly a peep. To my knowledge Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon have no new books planned describing how Obama's losing the war and promoting radical Islam. (I think we will soon learn Obama promotes Islam in other spiritual ways.)

The only Democrat firing words at Obama is Robert Byrd, and they aren't about the war but over Obama's power grab. The Democrats were quite fearful with their rhetoric concerning how they figured Bush would play out his lust for power. Byrd can be hushed with a race card.

Amazing how things change overnight in Washington. In 2002, I spent two weeks in DC, and I quickly learned how fake the city was--a quality you can't even try to hide in 2009. Heck, you can't even find Senator Harry Reid's white flag of surrender in the Capitol these days.

Upstaging the Obamessiah: Recession Tax Cuts (Netanyahu) Vs. Recession, Big Government Spending (Obama)

The tension just got thicker between Obama and Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanyahu announced his economic plans to life Israel out of the recession. They happen to be the opposite of Obama's plan. Although, the media will never admit to it, Israel heads towards the right direction as Obama sets off to increase the national debt at a level never seen before while doing little to stimulate the economy.

Netanyahu takes office in less than six weeks, looks to repeat the same policies he did six years ago. To get Israel out of the recession, he will cut taxes and shrink the size of government. Hey Ben, do you you think once you get your country fixed and slap around Hamas and Iran a little bit, you could come over here, slap around our disgrace in the Oval Office, and save our economy too?

Israel's situation is similar to ours. Their stock market is down 46 percent since October 2007. Their gross domestic product has fallen, and their exports have taken a big hit. The fact that Netanyahu is doing the exact opposite of Obama provides an excellent look at the two methods of recovery. Of course, deep down inside, I know the people of Israel are on the right track, but sadly, when the outcome shows tax cuts and smaller government prevails, Chris Matthews will still be tooting the Obamaloser's horn.

Springfield, Missouri Tea Party Inspired By Rick Santelli: Vincent David Jericho Organizes Springfield's Protest

Vincent David Jericho, the conservative morning talk show host on KSGF, announced Springfield will participate in the nationwide tea party started by Rick Santelli. The event starts this Friday, February 17, 2009, at 12:00 PM at the Lake Springfield Park.

Purpose is to send a loud and clear, visible signal to President Obama, Congress, and other people around the country that the stimulus bill was not wanted by the American people, that people who play by the rules and work hard don't want to pay the tab for people whose businesses have failed or who bought houses they couldn't afford.

I know where I will be during my lunch hour on Friday.

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 56

For tax year 2007, I wound owing both the feds and the state of Illinois money--lots of money. During the last quarter of 2007, I lost my job, so money was tight. Today, I called the state of Illinois today to check on my balance. The state of Illinois lost a couple of my payments. So I spent my morning calling the bank setting up faxes of the proof of payment. The Illinois Department of Revenue gave me attitude telling me my lost payment wasn't their problem. The problem is, when I called the Illinois Department of Revenue a month ago, they admitted to receiving the payments, and were still processing the very first payment I made four months prior. That payment processed, but they lost the second and third payments. Lucky me! What else should you expect from the state of Illinois?

Requesting Accountability from Ozark Junior High Teacher Leads to Teacher Insulting Me : Ozark, Missouri

I have noted on a couple of occasions, to restore values and accountability in our country will require following locally what's happening in local government and public education. Since moving to the Ozarks from Chicago, I have become increasingly aware of issues with the local education system that I feel people need to become aware of before it's too late resulting in higher taxes and poor education.

The first issue that alerted me to a problem was the new Ozark Tiger Football Stadium at Ozark High School. The district built a new high school a couple of years ago and the new stadium opened in the fall. The school celebrated its opening with an open house, where they showed off the full-color video playback scoreboard, the field house, the artificial turf, stadium seating, and luxury press box. There are NCAA football teams which don't even come close to playing on field like this.

The school includes a professional weight room, sports medicine center, plasma TVs in the hallways, a color-video sign displaying announcements and student artwork at the east entrance, and many other unneeded luxuries needed for education.

A couple weeks later, the school sent elementary home with fundraisers to pay for testing computers their budget wouldn't allow. It hit me quickly how much more important athletics have become over academics. Ozark schools were sending kids out to sell so they could look better than Nixa, or whatever their reason was to build their stadium and overlook the needs of their students.

Such excesses will provide costly future property tax assessments. Having moved from Chicago, I understand how these luxuries hit homeowners hard when their annual assessments come due. It's not uncommon to pay $4,000 to $6,000 a year in property taxes on an average ranch style home in Chicagoland. I decided it was time to go to work and do my part in hopes of raising the awareness in the community, so we never have to look at the reality increased property tax assessments to those levels.

The second issue happened about a week ago when I discovered Ozark Junior High School was using Morgan Spurlock's anti-capitalism movie, Supersize Me, to teach why you shouldn't eat at McDonald's. The movie promotes suing the ‘evil corporations’ rather than taking responsibility for your actions. Supersize Me demonizes an American company who provides jobs, community service, and opportunities to earn wealth through franchising. The movie contains sexual dialog, a rectal exam, drug references, penis references, and a graphic medical procedure. When I asked a parent of a student if the school requested their approval before showing the file, they told me they weren't even aware the children were seeing it until after the fact. The movie is clearly a liberal attempt to hurt McDonalds, and teachers should be able to teach a healthy diet without needing Spurlock's political rhetoric.

Yesterday evening, an Ozark Junior High student asked me to help out with some English homework. My degree is in technical writing, so I gladly accepted to help out. As I looked over their work, I noticed their inability to use punctuation as simple as a period. It was a pattern throughout the eight pages of their writing. There were other mistakes that weren’t acceptable for a kid a few months away from a high school composition class. I didn't make a big deal of the mistakes. I explained the rules and edited the paper. This student is an all-A student, by the way, so based on their grades, I expect them to know how to use a period and a comma most of the time.

I asked to the see the assignment sheet. They handed it to me, and the sheet alarmed me with its poor grammar usage. This was an English assignment and the teacher showed little attention to those rules many of you hated growing up. It was hard to understand, there was punctuation missing from the end of sentences, and basic style rules were thrown out. This is where you ask yourself should I ignore this teacher who might rob this child of a good education like I was by some teachers, or do you stand up a demand excellence. I remember the teachers that didn’t take my education seriously without any affection, and for this kid, college is a few short years away. This was strike three in my book, and I am tired of watching where entitlement education has led this country over the last few years. The lack of critical thinking skills are killing this country. I decided to say something. I wrote an e-mail to the teacher and the principal. I wrote to express my concerns. I had no idea of the attitude I was about to receive.

My e-mail:

Dear Ms. Houston,

I am helping one of your students with their homework, and I am disappointed with their lack of knowledge of grammar and basic punctuation. When I looked at the assignment, I quickly noticed your lack of attention of style rules in your own writing.

For instance: You need 3 “good” actually bad animals, and 1 animal accused of being bad but he/she was misunderstood and is actually good.

If you are going to teach children English, don’t you think you should consider displaying good writing techniques when you create an assignment? I would consider the Chicago Manual of Style if you don’t already have a copy.

I am not sure I know what a good actually bad animal is. Do you mean good examples of bad animals, or do you mean good animals that have gone bad?

You always spell numbers under ten.

He or she is considered sexist language and should be replaced with a neutral noun or pronoun.

This is an ugly sentence, and you should strive to promote good writing by displaying good writing, especially if you are assigning and grading writing assignments. As I read on, you frequently leave out punctuation throughout the remaining portion of the assignment sheet. You can’t prepare children for the future by demonstrating and celebrating mediocrity. Communication is the greatest skill a child learns in school.

Sincerely,

Clayton Bowler

I seriously wasn't trying to insult her, but at the same time I felt she had a responsibility to her students to display what she supposedly teaches them. If you are not going to enforce the rules by displaying you too follow the rules, then the students begin to think the rules are not important. Not only that, but based on the writing of the student I read, the student is not an A student in English.

Here's the reply:

Dr. Mr. Bowler:

Are you serious? Pardon me if I come off a little less than professional in my attempt to answer your criticisms of my assignment, but perhaps you should spend one minute in my life and then you just might have more insight into what it is I do here at Ozark Junior High School.

On the particular day that I was creating that assignment, I was also making an outline to demonstrate to my speech class, writing a letter to parents to ask them to judge at the Saturday speech tournament I spent my entire day at, and emailing my husband to purchase a book from a Springfield book store for a lesson I wanted to teach the next day. Oh yes, and I was also making a prop list for the One Act play I direct after school. I am currently not using a textbook in English, and I have to come up with many of my own lessons, so those are sometimes created rather quickly (as was the one you mentioned in your email). Since you asked, I will tell you that my day begins at 4:30 a.m. and once I arrive at school (usually by 7:10 a.m.) my mornings are filled with visiting with my students, emailing parents, filling out hot sheets for missing assignments, tutoring students, working in the library, and making copies for my classes. All this I’ve done before 7:45 in the morning. In fact, I’ve had so many kids in my room this morning visiting with me, that I’ve barely had time to respond to this email. I won’t even detail what I do after school, as I simply couldn’t do it in the limited amount of time I have this morning. Suffice it to say, I don’t leave school until 4:00 or 4:30 most days.

I’m not sure what your life is like, however, if you have time to email a junior high school English teacher about one particular assignment she created in the five minutes free time she had that day, you’ve probably got too much time on your hands. Perhaps you should think about a day job. Please accept my humblest apologies for not making an error-free assignment sheet. You are right. I am an English teacher, and in an attempt to teach my students, I should model better work than the sheet in which you refer. I promise to do better next time. I may have to do it on one of the weekends that I’m not spending EIGHT hours with my student performers, or perhaps I’ll do it on an evening after I’ve graded 150 (should I have spelled that out?) essays. I may have to stay up until midnight to get it done, but believe me; the next assignment that I must create myself will be self-explanatory and free from any errors. I hope this will guarantee that people such as you will not take time out of their busy schedules to write me emails filled with disappointment with my lack of knowledge of basic grammar and punctuation. Oh yes, and my pronouns will be as neutral as they can possibly be. In fact, I promise not to make them gender specific at all in the next assignment.

Thank you once again for showing me the error of my ways. Now if you don’t mind, I must wrap this up and go teach a class of thirty-one 7th graders while making less money than an assistant manager at Arby’s.

Sincerely,

Natalie Houston
OJH English Department

Obviously, the insults from this teacher are unbelievable. Beyond that, she doesn't want to take the responsibility of her position to teach children English. She complains about it and the time it takes to perform her job. Then she tells me to get a day job, and continues to discuss the miseries of her job. If it's that bad, quit. Don't rob a child of a good education because you are not happy. If it's about the money, go to Arby's, or go to school board meetings and complain about the money spent on athletics at Ozark. Don't ever insult another adult who is concerned about a child’s education.

Lackadaisical teachers were something I dealt with in high school, and I tired of fighting them and accepted that they weren’t going to teach me what I needed. I shouldn't have, but when you are 15-18 years old, you don't believe your opinion matters. I'd go home and tell my mom the history teacher didn't know history. He just passed out word finds every day in his American History. He had a word find for all fifty states. That's how the year started, and it ended with word finds. I had to play catch up when I got to college.

You don't want your child playing catch up when they get to college, so you should demand excellence from your teachers. No one should ever have to put up with an insulting teacher who forgets parents pay property taxes that fund the school. I am worried about the direction of education in this country.

Change comes from each of us. It's about standing up when a San Francisco kindergarten teacher invites her students to her lesbian wedding and hands out gay tolerance cards. I know those days may be a long way away for Ozark students. If you don't stand up and demand your school system to teach what a child needs to succeed, it's not unrealistic that those philosophies may one day infiltrate in the school system. After all, who would have ever thought I would be insulted for demanding excellence from a teacher?

Missouri's House Passes Four Day School Week (HB242): Kids Get the Short End While Nixon Expands Welfare

Isn't it funny Governor Jay Nixon had no issues with expanding welfare in the state of Missouri during his first week in office? Guess who's going to pay again? The Children. In case you missed it earlier this week, Nixon told CNN the cost of the stimulus would be passed on to Missouri's children and grandchildren. Now he the power of his pen may save the state millions by cutting a day from the school week.

Missouri's Republican controlled House approved the first round of debates that would allow school districts the option of four-day school weeks. Republican Representative Gayle Kingery, of Poplar Bluff, sponsored the bill citing the costs to the state's rural schools.

Did anyone look at challenging Jay Nixon's expansion of welfare that's promoting more Missourians to sit on their butts as funds they could reappropriate to children who have still have a future to do something with the talents they are given? Our priorities under Governor Nixon have become totally screwed up. Missouri's children will pay the another price as they are robbed of a day of education.

Market Gives Obama No Confidence Vote After Last Night's Address to Congress

The market voted no confidence early this morning as it’s down over 120 points in early trading. Obama’s speech proved to be a campaign speech with lots of pathos. Obama would have done the economy a favor if he had just kept his mouth shut, and from Hillary’s yawns, I think she agrees.

Obama Talks About a Trillion Dollars Like It's No Big Deal...: Guess Who They are Planning on Paying it Back

Obama and the Democrats discuss spending a trillion dollars like it’s no big deal. It’s only a trillion dollars…and besides it’s needed to spark the economy. I didn’t hear him discuss where the trillion is coming from. Americans need to know Hillary Clinton was sent to the Chinese to request the loan, citing their success is dependent on Americans buying Chinese junk. Obama never cites the truth of what too many dollars spread into the economy does to the value of the dollar. This continued discussion without the truths of where the money comes from, conditions Americans to believe a trillion dollars isn’t a big deal. It’s a very big deal!

According to tax data, there are approximately 90 million Americans who pay income taxes. Not all Americans pay income taxes; although, they all pay taxes out of their paychecks. Many Americans pay in, but get bigger refunds thanks to tax credits at the end of the year. This is how wealth is redistributed in America.

Based on tax data, consider these facts about Obama and Pelosi’s stimulus plan, the bailouts, and the mortgage fix:

Without interest figured in, the cost to each of these tax payers will be $8,000. Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri says we can just pass this cost on to our children and grandchildren like it’s no big deal--the amazing enlightenment of the Democrats. Governor Nixon is the go to guy when it comes to giving!

When you add all the bank bailouts, auto bailouts, and Obama’s mortgage bailout, the average cost to taxpayers rises to $19,000. Are you children and grandchildren feeling the love yet, Governor Nixon?

When you add all of the above to the current national debt, the cost to taxpayers is over $60,000. Remember when Governor Nixon showed how much he cared about college kids during his first week in office? Yeah, he really cares.

Did Prescott Bush Steal Geronimo's Skull for Yale's Skull and Bones?

A court case filed last week, which includes Obama as the defendant accuses the Yale's secret society the Skull and Bones of grave robbing and possessing the skull of Geronimo. The Apache tribe decided to file the suit for the 100th anniversary of the death of Geronimo.

CNN has investigated the mystery and uncovered a 1918 letter from a member, a bonesman, citing the skull was placed in 'the tomb.' CNN has repeated that Senator Prescott Bush, father of President Bush, was one of the grave robbers.

“It’s been 100 years since the death of my great-grandfather in 1909. It’s been 100 years of imprisonment,” Geronimo’s great-grandson Harlyn Geronimo told reporters.

The legend tells the order stole the skull and other artifacts from the grave located at Fort Sill, OK in 1918, and have hid them in a secret location on the Yale campus.

“Skull and Bones, with all its ritual and macabre relics, was founded in 1832 as a new world version of secret student societies that were common in Germany at the time,” reported CBS News. “Since then, it has chosen or ‘tapped’ only 15 senior students a year who become patriarchs when they graduate — lifetime members of the ultimate old boys’ club.”

Why Obama is mentioned in the suit is unclear. He went to Harvard. Robert Gates is also mentions. Both George W. Bush and his father were members. Geronimo's grandson wrote W. a few years ago requesting release of the bones, and didn't receive a reply. Both presidential candidates in 2004 were members of the society.

Here's a list of famous Skull and Bones members:

1830s

• Morrison R. Waite (1837), U.S. Supreme Court Justice[3]

"Oh God!": The Critical Thinking Skills (or lack of) at MSNBC

Leave it to the Keith Olbermann show to once again display MSNBC's lack of critical thinking skills. Rather than question Obama on a number of contradictions, like Obama saying he hates big government but praised the porkulus stimulus bill, they show their critical thinking skills in two words. Oh God!

As Bobby Jindal, who presented an excellent rebuttal to Obama following the windbag's speech, a producer or Olbermann exclaimed 'Oh God!' as Jindal walked towards the camera. It was an 'Oh God!' said in disgust. How anyone can take NBC or its news even serious these days is beyond me.

The real question is why the disgust? Was it Jindal's smile stretching from ear to ear? Was it the fact he is simply a Republican? Or does it stretch into Jindal's nationality? I already bet there is a war planned against Jindal, and you can count on a 7-Eleven theme because that's how Democrats operate. Just like they got away with comparing Bush to a chimpanzee for so many years, but compare Obama to the chimp just once, and all hell breaks lose.

Time and again, the network tied to Obama advisor Jeffrey Immelt of GE, has shown its bias. GE stands to make billions from business with Iran--business that includes selling military technology to our enemy. When you see how much money is involved, it's no wonder NBC leans so far left.

Thomas Jefferson has Rolled Over in His Grave so Many Times His Coffin has a Hole: The Travis the Chimp Bill HR-80

Six feet under a gravestone in Monticello is the rattling of bones bones rolling over and over again. The federal government has turned into everything Thomas Jefferson wrote the Constitution to prevent. Last night as Obama addressed the nations, any Jeffersonian knows Obama as well as all those members of Congress and many who came before them. Obama cited he doesn't like big government last night, but has done little to prevent the expansion of the government. In fact, has he ever said anything about shrinking it other than the pathos he delivered promising to reduce the national debt.

I noticed a bill recently that the House of Representative passed which shows the perfect example of the federal government crossing the line. Yesterday, Congress passed HR-80, the Captive Primate Safety Act. The law bans ownership of chimpanzees as pets, and the law is the perfect example of how out of control the federal government is.

The original bill was written by Democrat Earl Blumenauer of Oregon and Republican Mark Kirk of Illinois. In writing the bill, the removed the power from the state to decide which animals can be considered pets and which can't. I scanned the Constitution this evening trying to find out what power is granted to Congress to decide pet laws. The only thing I found in the Constitution that comes close is to provide common defense, and that's pushing it, since the chimpanzee would obviously have to be known as an enemy. Travis the chimp was a friend until the day he went wild--maybe too close of a friend.

Go ahead and laugh, but this is how freedoms are taken away. All bills start with good intentions but eventually limit people of their freedoms. Now the federal government is telling B.J. McKay that he has to drive without Bear. I know, that's a bad seventies sitcom reference, so let me explain. B.J. and the Bear was a late 1970s NBC sitcom starring Greg Evigan (B.J.) who drove a big red Kenworth truck with his chimpanzee Bear. His nemesis was Sheriff Lobo, which NBC created another show based on.

I don't think a chimpanzee is a great idea for a pet. I dated a girl in college who had monkeys (I know, they aren't chimps, but...), and her house smelled like a zoo. Needless to say, like an episode of Seinfeld, I couldn't stand the thought of dating her after smelling her house. These issues of for state legislatures to decide, not the federal government. It no wonder states are lining up after New Hampshire (HCR-6) to declare their sovereignty from the federal government. When the federal government restricts every angle of your life including pets, they have stepped to far out of line.

Section Eight of Article Two provides a list of things Congress is allowed to do. No where in section eight does it mention pass chimpanzee laws. Here's what Congress is allowed to do:

• To create and collect taxes


• To provide the common defense


• To provide the general welfare (which I believe has been trampled on and pushed beyond its meaning)


• To pay debts


• To borrow money


• To regulate commerce with foreign nations and among states (this was set up to promote trade from state to state, not necessarily restrict it to the point they have today with their heavy regulations)


• To establish an uniform rule of Naturalization


• To create uniform laws on bankruptcy


• To coin money, which they passed of to the Federal Reserve in the controversial 16th


• To punish counterfeiters


• To establish post offices and post roads (not federal interstates which have lessened the state's powers)


• To promote the progress of science and useful arts with exclusive rights to their discoveries (this isn't giving Congress the right to decide global warming is happening)


• To constitute Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court


• To define and punish piracy and felonies committed on the high seas.


• To declare war


• to raise and support armies (it limits funding to two years)


• To provide and maintain a navy


• To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces


• To provide for calling forth a militia to execute the laws of the union


• To suppress insurrections and repel invasions


• To organize, arm, and discipline the militia


• To pass laws that are within the limits of the Constitution

Which leads us to Amendment X. It says the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Travis the Chimp legislation coming from Congress should have never been debated in Congress, but it's now headed to the Senate for a vote. This country needs Jefferson. It needs him now. Our government is out of control, and there are many who sit and applaud as they watch it happen.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (2/25/09)

If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

Iraq Exit Strategy and Date: Obama's Plans to Leave Iraq

Obama plans to leave Iraq in August 2010. He originally promised May of 2010 during the campaign. He will begin by removing one brigade a month until the troops are home; although all troops won't be home until December 2011. White House official say he is a couple days away from an official decision.

There are currently 14 brigades in Iraq, or approximately 142,000 troops. It shall be interesting to watch Al Qaeda's reaction once the troops start leaving. I pray Iraq moves forward to democracy and freedom.

Obama's Address to Congress: Where do I Start

Unbelievable! Remember what I said earlier today about Obama's bipolar governing style? It was on display tonight. I actually said I don't like big government and then celebrated the big government stimulus plan. He definitely knows how to play the crowd.

He wants to fix Detroit. Then let Detroit do what they do best and build cars people want, but no, global warming comes up in the next part of the speech.

I am just so upset watching this speech. When they announced him, he had that silly little childish smirk on his face, lavishing in the words President of the United States.

Someone please hold Pelosi down. Was that not strange with the Joe knows part. She stands up, faces Biden, and gives him the we won deal with it applause.

I could go on and on. I had to leave the room. He lies. He tells each side what they want to hear and then does his thing. This country is in for a long four years. I don't know I can sit through this rhetoric any longer. I am going to take a deep breath and walk away from this tonight. Yelling that television probably is about as healthy has Morgan Spurlock's McDonald's binge. At least the Republicans stopped standing to everything. Someone please tell him to shut up. It sounds like he is trying to fix everything in one night. His cabinet looked exhausted. So he delivers a pathos filled speech, big deal! He preaches responsibility, and then rewards irresponsibility with the mortgage bailout. Oh by the way, he's going to cure cancer too! There just comes a point where you have to realize there are limits to what this man can do, and it's obvious he speaks out of both sides of his mouth. When it comes down to it, he is going to raise taxes, yours included when he lets the Bush tax cuts expire, which isn't going to help this economy, and he is going to redistribute wealth to irresponsible people while making us feel good that he's for responsibility. Wake up!

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 55

Did you know that if you owe back taxes, obviously you aren't getting your full refund the following year. That makes sense, and other than having to pay the IRS in the first place, I don't have an issue with applying part of my refund to past taxes. Paid off! No more monthly letters from the IRS!

What I do have a problem with is that they have acknowledged my refund, told me what day to expect it, yet haven't applied the funds to my account to pay off what I owe. Therefore, each day, I owe them a little bit more in penalties and interest charges, and my refund shrinks a little bit more. They have a lot of nerve. They over tax me thousands of dollars, and don't pay me once cent of interest to use that money for the year.

I did write Congressman Roy Blunt earlier this year concerning HR735, the Charlie Rangel Rule. I expressed my frustration with the current interest and penalty charged by the IRS, and how it seems members of the government play to different rules. He didn't say if he could commit to HR735, but told me he would consider my feelings if HR735 comes to a vote. I am quickly moving out of the Roy Blunt for Senate camp. I want someone who stands up for the little guy without a doubt, and our current tax system hurts everyone involved with the exception of Democrat politicians who get away without paying their taxes. This should be a no brainer.

Here's his reply:

Dear Clayton:

Thank you for your letter regarding H.R. 735. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns.On January 28, 2009, Congressman John Carter introduced H.R. 735, the Rangel Rule Act of 2009. This measure would allow for an individual who is a citizen of the United States and who writes “Rangel Rule” on the top of the first page of a tax return form shall be exempt from any requirement to pay interest, and from any penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount, with respect to such return. Currently, this legislation is under consideration in the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Should H.R. 735 come to the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote, I will keep your thoughts in mind. Again, thank you for contacting me. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Sincere regards,Roy Blunt

Member of Congress

The Hypocrisy of Sheryl Crow with her Northern Trust Gig: Crow Not the Anti-Establishment Rebel Rouser She Claims to be on her CD Detours

Sheryl Crow is obviously not the good little liberal she pretends to be. I am starting to doubt if she even wipes with one piece of toilet paper like she claims. She released her last record, Detours, attacking everything from George W. Bush to the evil oil companies. Well in 2009, the evil oil companies are the evil bankers looking to woo business with events that wind up ruining many nights for Barney Frank's male escort buddies. And guess who's playing center stage with her hand out? Sheryl Crow! Don't mind putting a little of the bailout money in your pocket eh, Ms. Crow?

This past weekend Northern Trust flew hundreds of clients to California and entertained them with Chicago, Earth, Wind & Fire (the same Earth, Wind & Fire, that according to one of my anonymous liberal commenters offers hope around the world, took money from the 'greedy bankers?'), Sheryl Crow, and lots of golf. I guess Sheryl Crow isn't the anti-establishment rebel rouser she poses as in her songs. Crow's agent would not release how much she was paid for the gig, nor was it released how much Earth, Wind, and Fire or Chicago made either. (I can't believe I am blogging twice today about Earth, Wind, and Fire; perhaps, that's a sign of the Apocalypse.)

Congressman Frank wrote a letter today demanding Northern Trust to pay all the money back. Frank now thinks he is the most powerful banker in the land. Don't you just love socialism. This fool screwed Fannie and Freddie, and now the officials at Northern Trust are taking it from behind with this guy.

The Great Presidential Chimpanzee Debate of 2009: Bush the Chimp Vs. Obama the Chimp, All of a Sudden It's No Longer Fun

Since last week, a political cartoon connecting Travis the crazed chimp to the Obama/Pelosi stimulus package has brought the race baiters out from hiding. Reverend Al Sharpton spent his week upset over a cartoon when he should have been concerned about another fellow black religious leader, Reverend Walter B. Hoye III, who is going to jail for practicing his right to free speech. Travis the Chimp has brought out the hypocrisy in the ranks of the Democratic party, and the Democrats have demonstrated how little they care about the First Amendment. Attack one mad for practicing, while failing to come to the defense of another man for speaking out.

I decided to dig deep to see how the original Presidential chimpanzee advocates felt about
Sean Delonas' cartoon that many claim is an attack directed towards, what many liberals and Darwinist believe, our ape-descended President, Obama. (Don't blame me, blame Darwin since he is the one who claims Obama's relatives are monkeys.)

I decided to go to Smirking Chimp, a blog that constantly insulted Bush with its title and an image of Bush next to the title. The page itself is a Web designer's mess, cluttered and hard to find information, so I decided to use the search function. Nothing came up. Shouldn't there be a rant defending Delonas and the right to compare the President to a monkey? After all, this Web site has been doing it for years, and quite proudly at that. I decided I would look in the archives around that same period of time, nothing. I guess the Smirking Chimp doesn't have the conjones to defend the behavior they exhibited time and again during the Bush administration. I decided to search further.

My next stop was the George W. Bush or Chimp? Web site. They have a nice collection of our 43rd President side by side with chimpanzees making similar facial expressions. A couple of the Bush expressions were so far out there, that they couldn't find a matching chimpanzee picture. I thought it might be fun to create my own version of their page. I could call it Barack H. Obama or Chimp. No, wait a minute, that's already got them screaming racists at Delonas. Oh, what the heck, I might buy the domain name this evening and let them know this page was inspired by Bill Feldspar, Rich and Alex. Do you think those guys would defend me when the number two hits the fan with Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton?

The next Web site I went to failed to capitalize on the Obama/Chimp comparison in the New York Post. They are still living the last eight years of Presidential monkey games. The Chimp vs. the President game site features a Tic-Tac-Toe board. Instead of Xs and Os you get a chimp and W. When W. beats you, you get a nice little exclamation asking if you're stupid since you just let Dubya beat you. Still, no courageous statement from this Presidential chimp Web side defending the New York Post.

Once again, we learn a simple lesson. It's okay if the tolerant and compassionate liberals compare the President to a chimpanzee, but they'll be damned before they allow anyone to compare their precious, ape-descended (according to Darwin) President to a chimpanzee.

New Gallup Poll Shows Obama is Coming Back Down to Earth

Obama fell nearly 10 points to 59% in his first month, which makes Obama's first-month approval rating worst than George W. Bush's first-month approval rating (62%). George W. Bush had the controversy of the election holding him back. What's Obama's excuse? No doubt the White House is in damage control. Obama's disapproval rating is raising faster at nearly a nearly 13 point increase. Traditionally, the President's first month has been more forgiving, and considering disapproval for the stimulus package, these numbers may be inflated.

The Government is Now Entering the Tattoo Removal Business: One of 9000 Earmarks in the new Congressional Budget

The new Congressional spending bill contains over 9000 earmarks. The $410 billion budget contains earmarks to remove gang-related tattoos. Now our government is in the business to remove tattoos? What did Obama say about reducing the federal deficit the other day?

The People’s Republic of Madison, Wisconsin Passes State Tax Increase Quietly (Wisconsin Executive Budget Act of 2009): Media Chooses to Ignore Story

A week ago, the democratically controlled Wisconsin legislature passed a tax increase in the middle of a recession. Obviously, they haven’t learned from their eastern neighbors in Michigan who have suffered after Jennifer Granholm’s tax increases. Two days later, February 19, 2009, the tax increases were signed into law by Governor Jim Doyle. The law increases taxes in Wisconsin by $1.2 billion, which equals approximately $225 additional taxes for every man, woman and child in Wisconsin. Very little attention was paid to the increases by Wisconsin’s media outlets. If it hadn’t been for a national conservative news site, my friend wouldn’t have known about the tax increase. The Wisconsin media kept it a secret. How much does it cost to the silence the media to that extent? Now the Detroitization of Michigan reaches across Lake Michigan into Milwaukee, Green Bay, and across to Minnesota and Iowa. Enjoy the demise of your state Wisconsin, and be sure to thank the Democrats as your quality of life is cut into by the crazy timing of their greed and tax increase.

Gallup Investor Optimism Poll Reaches All Time Low in February 2009: Drops 24 Points under Obama

Obama’s approval number may still be high, but the real numbers that matter is the crashing market and an alarming poll Gallup recently released. The Investor Optimism poll dropped 24 points to its lowest level of -64 after Obama’s first month in office. With all the bailouts, stimulus, and other plans to save the worst economy in the history of worst economies, investors remain unimpressed with Obama’s plans to fix the economy. There is little hope these plans will fix the economy, and chances are, they are going to make it worse.

The market started upward today, but it did this yesterday. Tomorrow will be a telling sign after Wall Street reacts to Obama's speech tonight.

Obama Parties as Economy Crashes: Earth, Wind and Fire Perform at the White House

If there is one sector of the economy that thrives under Obama's leadership, it's the party and entertainment sector. As more Americans lost more money in the market last week, more job losses announced, and the reality of Obama's massive debt robbing generations of Americans from tax freedom spread across the land, Obama threw another party.

Sunday night Earth, Wind and Fire performed at the White House for Obama and special guests. Surprisingly the Marine Corp Band was there too. Obama may not have the road to a better economy down, but he does know how to throw a party. I wonder what he is celebrating. The collapse of capitalism in American, perhaps? I just haven't seen too much to celebrate since January 20th, and now the media is fixing polls claiming the country is behind Obama.

So the polls favoring the stimulus goes from 37 percent in favor to 68 percent in favor according to the latest ABC poll? I'm not buying it. Obama (and his teleprompter) addresses the nation tonight for his first national address in front of Congress. Watch the markets fall further and an Obama celebration following. It's apparent Obama hates America as it was and has no respect for the limits placed on him by the Constitution. America wake up! Obama is no 'shining star.'

Selfish Jay Nixon Admits He Doesn't Have to Worry About Paying for Stimulus: The Jay Nixon Legacy in His Own Words, Pass it on to Missouri's Children

Democratic Governor Jay Nixon's legacy was created shortly after the stimulus passed. Take the money and leave it to Missouri's children and grandchildren to pay off. Nixon is a selfish idiot and now he has a legacy I won't let him forget. Here is our worthless, bloated governor:



I am embarrassed by the leadership of Democrats in Missouri. Both Nixon and Claire McCaskill need to be made one-term residents of their offices. I hope Missouri Republicans don't forget these words in 2012. Mr. Nixon, my nephews don't deserve this debt Obama is occurring. They deserve the opportunity to live in a free country without the burdens of taxation because of your greed and the federal government's mistakes. You are an idiot sir. (By the way, we just tipped the Mike Church Show (Sirius) to this information and he played it during his show. Thanks Mike!)

After the Rushed, Camouflaged Stimulus, Transparency Begins with the Obama Budget

Obama only wants transparency when transparency is safe for Obama. After slapping the nation in the face with the transparency promise during the stimulus debate, Obama promises things will be different with his budget. He testing the Americans have a short memory theory.

"The president is determined to treat the American people as adults and be straight up about what we're facing and what we need to do to move forward," said David Axelrod.

Really Mr. Axelrod? So in less than a week Americans go from children and a stimulus package that's for our own good to adults that will to have a say. What a crock! You didn't listen to us during the stimulus debate, so why the facade now?

The Obama budget is about one thing. Attacking George W. Bush. The President's advisers are highly critical of the Bush deficits. Bush ran a $158 billion deficit in 2002 according to the LA Times, and $455 billion his last year for a total of $2.5 trillion in addition to the national debt. How lazy our press must be not to remind Americans Obama has contributed to nearly half of the amount of the national debt in one month that Bush accumulated in eight years.

Obama's intention is not to go to Congress with additional spending throughout the year, which they attack Bush for. Remember this. If I were a betting man, I would venture that Obama will go to Congress, but we won't know he went to Congress. Congress will claim to introduce new spending to save the Obama budget facade and promise. In other words, as our markets crash and unemployment goes up, stimulus II will come from Congress through secret maneuvers that don't have Obama's fingerprints on them so he can claim he isn't responsible for the additional spending. He will insure Americans it is absolutely necessary to save the economy, just like he did for stimulus I.

My source didn't explain what in what form the transparency will exist, but I already smell a rat since the language is directed towards blaming Bush. I guess we will know Thursday if it gets posted online.

Obama's Bipolar Governing Style: Nothing Stable in the Middle

Bipolar disorder causes serious shifts in a person’s mood, energy, thinking, and behavior – from the highs of mania on one extreme, to the lows of depression on the other.

Obama is a strange dichotomy of hopeful and sometimes responsible words to reckless behavior often destroying his earlier dialog; words he recycles to take our eyes off of reality of what was destroyed. I have said this before, as he ran for President during the early primaries, even I was captivated by the dope of hope. Why wouldn't you want to believe in the positive energy that surrounded his campaign? Of course, before drinking the Kool-Aid, the cautious side of me that has guarded my every step since I was a young, began to listen. Obama hid his left-wing radical side providing only small hints in his rhetoric. Anyone who paid close attention to Obama could easily observe his darker side. Most chose not to look or lacked critical thinking skills to understand what was below Obama’s iceberg rhetoric.

Obama best displays his bipolar style with the word hope, remember when all was good out on the campaign trail. He didn't even blink when the banks were crashing before the bailouts. According to the media and his followers, Obama could pull America out of the rut, bring fresh ideas never before held to the office, and empower a new generation of Americans to participate. We quickly discovered his ideas were the same ideas of old. The people he surrounded himself with, were the same tired Washington insiders left over from Clinton. Hope became panic and panic became gloom. The optimist became the pessimist preaching the economy is worst than we ever thought. Obama went from a total rock-star high to a total buzz kill in a few short weeks, and the affect it's had on the economy has been devastating as the market closed 250 points lower yesterday after Obama promised to raise taxes.

Obama celebrates one side of the left-wing spectrum one day, and then toots a different horn the next. The Obama stimulus package promises nearly a trillion dollars of new government spending and lots of new government. Obama stopped talking about the stimulus the day after and began preaching to workers in Illinois that we need to become financially responsible. He followed up this act with a fiscal responsibility summit at the White House yesterday. How do you go from spending nearly a trillion dollars in one day on items like weatherization of homes to demanding financially responsibility the next? It's bipolar to say the least.

It doesn't stop there. Obama made the biggest, impossible promise of his political career last week. He will cut the national debt by 2/3 before his first term expires. We are back on the Obama high. Not even a week later, we find out he is going to propose an extra eight percent in government spending in his first budget, which doesn't even include the nearly trillion dollar stimulus plan. There is no in between with this man. It's either one extreme or the other. You can't cut deficits and increase spending.

We see his bright and dark side exposed in the way he treats people. He claims he wants to hear all ideas and comes across as warm and open, but the second an idea comes out that makes sense that doesn't coexist with the direction he wants to take the country; he quickly ridicules the person coming across as cold and calculated. We have seen both Rush Limbaugh and Rick Santelli make valid points about the economy, and both have been punch lines in Obama's rhetoric. A few from the media praised Limbaugh’s idea of spending according to Obama’s winning percentage and tax cuts based on the percentage who didn't vote for him as a solid bipartisan structure to design a stimulus plan around.

There's a pattern of extreme behavior that defines Obama's method of governing. He continues to reach a peak and quickly descends to the lowest valley. This hasn't been healthy for the country during his first month, and I doubt we see much change in the way he governs. Obama's bipolar style provides those who support him hope that he might actually mean what he says, while his actions provide the truth that he doesn't. He means little of what he says. He knows what to say just enough to keep the hope alive. This is the positive mania side of his governing. His actions provide a far more serious depression, which the market has followed since his inauguration. Even this past weekend, Drudge reported that Obama wants to move the discussions away from nationalizing the banks, only for the nationalization conversation to grow stronger by Monday morning. He's tough to keep up with, but if he says it, expect him to do the opposite. For now, he believes it catches his critics off guard, but then again, we know he's not the smartest cookie in the jar. He expect him to tell us the opposite and while changing the political philosophy of the United States to the hard socialist left.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (2/24/09)

Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

Hillary and Obama Providing $900 Million to the Palestinian Authority to Rebuild Gaza

Isn't it nice that the day after we find out Hillary is begging the Chinese Communist for money to cover the United States lack of funds to pay for the stimulus package, she and Obama are going to give $900 million to the Palestinian Authority to rebuild Gaza after recent military skirmishes with Israel. What did Obama say about lowing the deficit? We are never going to get there at this pace.

To make matters worse, the United States trusts the United Nations to disburse the money. You've got to be kidding me. The Obama administration blows me away with their stupidity more and more everyday.

"This money is for Gaza and to help strengthen the Palestinian Authority. It is not going to go to Hamas," said an unidentified official. Gee, if that doesn't make you feel better, I don't know what does. Ten bucks says Hamas winds up with the money anyway as Obama keeps spending and spending.

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 54

Want to know how stupid Barack Obama is? In the middle of the worst recession in the history of worst recessions, he vows to raise the taxes. Guess what! The market headed downward again today. It was down 250 points. There is no confidence in Obama.

I will be examining who was the brighter recession President. Both George W. Bush, and Barack Insane Obama inherited recessions. I have no doubts Bush's plan will prove in history the right road, and we know Bush quickly moved the country out of Bill Clinton's recession and managed to save the economy from the single greatest foreign threat to the economy, 9/11. We are going to be paying for Obama's amateur hour for many years to come. Now he promises to raise taxes during the recession which will lengthen the pain. Can you say IDIOT boys and girls?

Dow Down 250 Points After Obama Announces Tax Increases

Obama announces tax increases and fears of bank nationalization come closer to confirmation and the weekend. The market loses another 250 points.

Penalizing Law-Abiding Missourians to Attack the Meth Problem in Missouri: It's Not Going to Work

How bad is the methamphetamine problem in Missouri? So bad that two Missouri legislators want to require prescriptions for common cold medications that contain pseudo ephedrine. Missouri state Senator Jason Crowell (R-Cape Girardeau) and state Representative Jeff Roorda (D-Barnhart) are pushing legislation that penalizes Missourians seeking treatment for a common cold.

As we watch insurance premiums increase because too many people abuse their insurance going to the emergency rooms and their doctors for minor cuts, bruises, and illnesses, Crowell and Roorda will increase the demands on insurance that are driving costs up by requiring Missourians to see their doctors to receive FDA approved over-the-counter cold medicines like Sudafed and Claritin D.

Under current Missouri law, pseudo ephedrine drugs must be kept behind counter and can be bought in limited quantities. Businesses who sell these medicines must keep logs, which will be made easier thanks to Dear Leader’s attempts to nationalize health care with the national health care database. Might as well use it for some good. It may be the only good thing to come out of the database.

With all these measures in place, meth labs are still receiving enough of the drug to make Missouri the meth capital of the United States. I just don’t see how this is going to work. Regular Missourians will be penalized while methheads find a way around their legislation. Nice attempt to care, but that’s all this bill is, a caring piece of legislation that won’t fix the problem.

LA Times Article on Green Energy Shows Little Promise in the Hyped Renewable Energy Future

The LA Times ran a story today claiming 'Green energy needs a big leap.' They compare how the communication industry was transformed from the simple transition from vacuum tube to transistor. What was alarming is a simple fact they state afterwords, for over three decades the United States has spent many multiple times more money on researching and harnessing green, renewable energy than was invested in the transistor, and doesn't have a 'transistor' to show for it.

So what's Obama and Pelosi's solution, pour even more money into it. Let's remind you how much of a personal investment Nancy Pelosi has made of her on money into windmills and other green energy technology. After billions of dollars spent over the last thirty years and failing to find efficient ways to harness the Earth's energy, we are led to believe because Obama is doing it, it's going to be different. It sounds like an endless money pit in my opinion, a money pit taxpayers need to quit funding and leave to the best minds of the free market to make the necessary discoveries.

As long as government continues to pour research grants into the research, little will get done. It's called job security. )Not to mention the stimulus money pads Pelosi's green investment pockets.) The private sector doesn't have that convenience. I'm willing to bet we would get honest answers if the government got out of the renewable energy debate and left it up to corporations investing their own money into the research.

"It's very easy to say we should spend more" on research, said Jeffrey Wadsworth, chief executive and president of the Battelle Memorial Institute, which manages several Energy Department laboratories. "What really needs to happen is more effective use of the money."

When has government ever been efficient or effective with your money other than bombing enemies? You don't' get more bang for your buck than what you do with the military. Other than that, government does little right. It reminds me of the promises of the space shuttle. The space shuttle was supposed to make space travel cheaper and more common. It has done neither, and after thirty plus years of research, two accidents caused from inefficiencies, and billions of dollars over the projected promises for space flight, the space shuttle program soon will be scrapped. Nearly fifty years after John F. Kennedy's goal to go to the moon, we have repeated the goal. This is progress? With that said, we have gotten more out of the 30 years of shuttle research than we have the government's investment in green energy. It's time to scrap both programs. Hand both of them to the private sector to invest their money in. I guarantee you, we'd get better results. I'm not against discovering new energy sources, but continuing to rely on the government is foolish; after all, they have little to show for billions spent.

Tough Day Ahead for the Stock Market: Under 7000?

The Dow rallied back on Friday from 7259, after suffering a 150 point loss, but fell again shortly before its close. It could have been worse. During the week Obama signed the stimulus plan, announced his housing bailout plans, and moved towards the nationalization of the banks, the Dow had its worst week in years. So what does Obama do to provide hope? He promises tax increases and its discovered 40$ of Citicorp soon will be nationalized. Enjoy watching your 401K's death rattle this week. Investors have no reason to believe things are going to get better under Obama.

The first few minutes after opening will probably see the downward trend that will have the market flirting with under 7000 before the week is over, if not sooner. Don't think for one minute because Obama directed the tax increases towards the rich, investors are breathing any relief. Obama continues contributing to the collapse of the American financial system, and at this point it seem so purposeful. Why else would the idiot announce tax cuts on the heels of one of the worst weeks in market history.

How Obama Works: Obama's Use of Words

He promised hope, and delivered gloom. He promised change, and delivered hell. Obama's use of words have predicted the opposite of what we are going to get. With the stock market coming closer to record lows under his leadership, the fear of nationalizing banks sent it plummeting last week. After the markets close, Obama steered the conversation away from nationalization and put another mask on a problem he has made worse. After a couple days, the mask is ripped off off of the nationalization cool down talk.

It turns out Citicorp, the parent company of Citibank, have been in negotiations with the government to give up 40% of ownership to the government and the right to a vote for corporate direction. How quickly the lies are uncovered.

The saddest part of this is, Citibank shares have dropped to this level in the last twenty years, and they survived without the government having a controlling interest. What's difference this time, except whoever crippled the banks on September 11, 2008, hurt them enough to bring them to the table to give up their control.

Obama's Veil: What Once Haunted W.E.B. Du Bois, Works to Cover Obama's Inexperience and Lies

Then it dawned upon me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others; or like [them perhaps] in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast veil. I had thereafter no desire to tear down that veil, to creep through; I held all beyond it in common contempt, and lived above it in a region of blue sky and great wandering shadows.

W.E.B. Du Bois' famous veil (The Souls of Black Folk) he describes what life is like for black Americans. A veil is a covering draped over the head. For Du Bois, his skin color is the veil. It keeps society from seeing him for whom he is underneath the veil and provides consciousness that he is different and has to come to terms with how he and other blacks view themselves and how society views them.

While I will agree with Du Bois over with the veil, I never agreed with DuBois' methods to lift the veil. Du Bois radical approach insisted that blacks should force themselves into society over Booker T. Washington’s approach to slowly blend in through accomplishments. Du Bois radical approach crated the outspoken rhetoric that quickly angered a nation trying to find itself and balance post Civil War America while healing the wounds of slavery. In comparison, Washington believed that as time went on black accomplishments in America would open the eyes of whites in America furthering their acceptance in society. As I have argued in the past, rock and roll and more to do with merging the two cultures together than the rhetoric of the NAACP, which proves Washington was correct.

In 2009, I thought I might be able to argue the veil was finally lifted; after all, whites went to the polls and helped elect Barack Obama--courage that Eric Holder quickly forgot as he tried to stir the racial pot. Mostly, I believe society lifted the veil. Unfortunately, hatred will always be a sad pat of any culture whether it's religious, racial, or political, as much as we would love to believe humans can love one another. I think the veil still exist, and Obama uses the veil now not as a sign of oppression, but as a symbol of untouchable power.

Obama uses the veil to his advantage. It covers up his inexperience during the election and created pathos--the first black who could win--that turned him into a rock star. It covered who he was, and people were so enamored with his blackness they didn't look under the veil to see the ugly side. Americans didn't want to lift it to know his radical associations, his religious mentor preached white American hate, or that he supported infanticide in the state of Illinois. Obama's veil provided him shelter never before seen in the political world. After the election, it still protects.

The media respects the veil. They don't dare uncover it, and the pesky reporters who have tried to uncover the veil find themselves with angry answers, which is how I viewed Du Bois throughout his life, angry. The veil covers the truths about Obama. It hides what the White House is doing. You can't have transparency when there is a veil. As Obama breaks campaign promises, the veil becomes timing is critical rhetoric, and the media makes no attempt to lift the veil. Even when Obama calls to lift the veil (transparency), he provides Americans with little insight into his administration. His Presidency is a four-year campaign for 2012.

We shouldn't be surprised. Obama's veil worked to provide generalities with few details during the campaign. He had a dream alright, but his dream was never in color. As with most dreams worth shouting out, people bought into it without lifting the veil. Obama provided glimpses underneath in books and associations, but the veil played to embarrass those with the worst accusation of all--racist.

The veil serves to protect Obama from criticism. As the country falls deeper into economic turmoil (the Dow is down over 3000 points since investors decided Obama would win up to the day I wrote this), few are critical of the new administration. In fact, the veil empowers Obama to call out those who do--Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh for starters. Certain political powers are too afraid the nation's first veiled President might fail, that they celebrate moronic policies that will prove little significance for healing the economy. Why is it America fail if this President doesn't live up to the greatness the veil built for him? Covering his policies with useless veil rhetoric doesn't make them successful, and Americans are waking up to this reality. Blacks don't fail if Obama fails. That attitude only forces a veil on generations of new blacks who haven't lived with the realities of the veil DuBois wore. If the veil exist today for black Americans, it doesn't cover the whole face like it did for DuBois. There are plenty of blacks in every sector of the nation's economy who are successful. Not only that, but they have real American stories that we need to celebrate. There are so many holes in Obama's story, that it's hard to celebrate. We know so little of him, because he left out so many parts. If we continue to let the veil hide the truth about Obama's naive and inexperienced policy decisions, generations of all Americans stand to fail. It's time to lift the veil and hold Obama to the same standards the held George W. Bush to.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (2/23/09)

Ronald Reagan understood the ignorance of many in the media and he knew how to handle them. As he would head out to Marine One, he always ordered the Marines to keep the helicopter on so he wouldn't hear the questions from the White House press corp.

During an informal exchange with reporters on April 7, 1983, he was asked, "What are you going to tell the Chinese ambassador?"

President Reagan: "Hello."

Greedy Jennifer Granholm Ruined Her State and Now Wants to Help Push the US in the Same Direction at the Expense of Non-Michigan Tax Payers

Not all the nation's governors are ready to bow down to Obama and his stimulus. As I mentioned last week, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is leading Republican governors telling Dear Leader no. South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford says Obama's "short term" thinking is digging America a new hole to dig out of.

But never fear. You can always count on a Democrat to stick their hand out. After running the state of Michigan in the ground after huge tax increases, Governor Jennifer Granholm wants what the Republicans don't want. She obviously could care less about the Americans who will inherit this debt.

“This is about real people who, through no fault of their own, are laid off because of a recession, and they need to be able to put food on the table,” I will be the“first in line” to “take their dollars too” if South Carolina leaves funds unspent.

Well whose fault is it in Michigan Ms. Granholm? Granholm shut down the Michigan state government to win her tax debate with the state legislature. She successfully pulled off one of the largest tax increases in Michigan. She raised state income taxes from 3.9% to 4.35% and and increased the state's tax on gross business receipts by 22%. The tax increases didn't raise the revenue as Granholm promised, but it did provide the residents of Michigan with lots of misery.

The Michigan Department of Revenue lost money after the tax increase, and it has been reported up to 33% less in revenue. Unemployment shot up in the state, and the state felt its own recession before the country felt it. In other words, we could learn a lot about what not to do from miserable Governor Granholm's leadership. Now she wants to steal from the taxpayers of other states in order to bail herself out of the mess she has created in Michigan.

Michigan businesses are closing down or leaving the state under her leaderhip. Home values have dropped faster than the national average. People are leaving Michigan at a rate of two to one. What a disaster! I think before the Michigan gets a dime, the people of Michigan need to demand better leadership from Lansing. David Littman, an economist, claims the only industry that's growing in Michigan is government. No wonder there's such a fondness between Dear Leader Obama and Governor Granholm.

If Granholm continues down this path, the crime-infested city of Detroit (which may be the worst place I travelled to do business in) may stretch from the Detroit River westward to Lake Michigan and northward to Mackinaw Island--a fact that will have the 'Yoopers' ready to secede from the state once again.

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 53

Watch the stock market closely. I think it will be a telling sign of where the economy is heading now Obama promised to raise taxes. Oh, it's only on the rich the Obamaphytes claim. Guess what, they will pass their tax bill onto you when the prices of goods and services rise. Look for the market to fall further tomorrow. Obama is doing everything wrong, and no one wants to yank him by the collar and ask him what the heck are you thinking!

We don't know who the rich are. In the campaign, the number changed so many times. I know my tax increase is coming as a member of the upper half of the middle class. The Bush tax cuts expire next year, and taxes are going up for everyone. They will be going up sooner for some Americans sooner rather than later. What will be the magic number. $300,000, $250,000, $200,000, $150,000, or $60,000? The lower you go, the more accurate I feel the tax increase chances are.

Here's the tally:

Excited About Sammy Hagar's New Supergroup, Chickenfoot: The Political Angle of Two Van Halen Frontmen

When it comes to conservative rockers, Ted Nugent takes the top spot. My mom, after reading Ted, White & Blue, is even a fan. There are a few others who side on the Republican side. Gene Simmons of KISS wasn't afraid to tell anyone Bush was right for the country in 2004. Alice Cooper recently opened a Christan center for kids. Sammy Hagar has been a contributor to California Republican Congresswoman Dana Rohrabacher for many years, and supported Bush in 2004. He also played in Minneapolis during the RNC this past year.

I am incredibly pumped with the announce of his new super group that includes Michael Anthony, friend and bass player from Van Halen, guitarist extraordinaire Joe Satriani, and former Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith. He calls the new group Chickenfoot, and the new CD will be out around April. You can get a taste of their sound at Van Halen News Desk.

Van Halen has had its share of right leaning front men. Gary Cherone stood up for pro-life efforts, writing two letters to Pearl Jam front man and abortion advocate Eddie Vedder in 1999. The letter may have been what pushed Cherone out of Van Halen. Here are those letters.

"I feel like I know every angle of this issue,"said Eddie Vedder."I know the adoption angle; I know what it's like to be fifteen and be in a situation and have to make a decision. Terminating pregnancy is not an easy thing."—Eddie Vedder, Rolling Stone 11/12/98 #799

An Open Letter to Eddie Vedder

When is a woman not a woman?

Therein lies the only clear refutation of a woman’s rights.

A woman’s rights —seems a mere tautology, a redundant catch phrase.

Are not rights self evident?

Intrinsic assumptions of the inalienable?

So, when is a woman not a woman,a right not a right?

When she doesn’t exist.When does a woman become a woman?

Is it when her first ballot has been cast?

Or when she graduates from her class?

Is it when she makes a wish on her sweet sixteenth?

Would I be amiss if it were her first kiss?

Is it when she’s diagnosed by the boy next door?

Or as ambiguous as the cutting of the cord?

Is it the time it takes to travel the distance through the canal?

Or when she’s kicking and becomes viable?

Is it when her sex is discovered by a sonogram?

Or after eight weeks when the changes in her body will be mainly in dimension?

Is it when her brain waves are detected after 40 days?

Or is it around three weeks when her primitive heart beats?

Can there be only one true line of demarcation?

One finite measurable point in time that differentiates life from non-life?

Womanhood from non-womanhood?

Rights from no right?

Is it the moment of conception —that point when all of the above is set in motion?

That precise moment when"a separate human individual, with her own genetic code,needing only food, water, and oxygen, comes into existence"?

Indeed,It is at that point,"like the infant, the child, the adolescent,that the concept
us is a being who is becoming,not a becoming striving toward being.

She is not a potential life,she is a life with great potential".

She is not the mother,she is an other —a somebody other than the mother.

A woman, however beautiful, however complex when fully grown,begins life as a single cell, a zygote —that stage in human development through which we all pass.

She fulfills "the four criteria necessary to all life —metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction.

Her genetic makeup is established at conception,determining to a great extent

her own individual, physical characteristics": her eyes, her hair, her skin color, bone structure, her gender.

So let us not be confused,"she did not come from a zygote — she once was a zygote.

She did not come from an embryo, she once was an embryo.She did not come from a fetus, she once was a fetus".

She did not come from a little girl — she once was a little girl.

When is a woman not a woman?

The answer is absolute, non-negotiable.

To argue against would be to ignore the innate,the fact of the matter.

The answer can never be a matter of opinion or choice.

This is not a metaphysical contention.This is biology 101.

The answer is scientifically self-evident —as inherent as the inalienable.

Therefore,the ability to pursue happiness is contingent upon liberty —her liberty,and her freedom is solely dependent upon the mother of all human rights...the right of life.

Respectfully,Gary Cherone(June 1999)

The Second Open Letter to Eddie Vedder

What About the 98.6 Degree Angle? Another Letter to Eddie Vedder

The vast majority of people who support abortion take that position with the firm conviction

that life does not begin at conception

That being said...If one personally felt "terminating pregnancy is not an easy thing"

but was the right of the individual to make that "decision"

Is the life within the mother's womb a human person?

If the answer is no, it is not a human person

Why would one feel it "is not an easy thing" to do?

If the answer is yes, it is a human person

Why would one advocate "terminating" it?

If the answer is I don't know, if it is, or isn't a human person

How many more "decision(s)" would one make in an uncertain "situation"?

If the unborn is not a human person

No justification for abortion is necessary

However...If the unborn is a human person

No justification for abortion is adequate.

Nearly all arguments for abortion are based on the faulty premise that the unborn are not fully human.

Respectfully,

Gary Cherone(1/22/2001)

Cherone claims to be a Libertarian.

Sick Food Facts About the FDA: And People Still Want to Hand the Health Care Industry to the Government?

I was catching up one some reading this afternoon. I picked up a Lance Armstrong covered Men's Health a couple of months ago (February 2009), and finally got around to looking it over today. The posted some facts about the FDA that will make you consider your food choices a little closely, and should make you ask, do I really want these morons running my health care.

• The FDA allows five fly eggs and one maggot per 500 grams of canned tomatoes.
• The FDA allows 60 mites per 100 grams of frozen broccoli.
• The FDA allows 400 insect fragments and 11 rodent hairs per 50 grams of ground cinnamon.
• The FDA allows 30 insect fragments or 1 rodent hair per 100 grams of peanut butter.
• The FDA allows 20 gnawed grains or 2 rodent hairs per pound of popcorn.
• The FDA allows 6% of potatoes used for potato chips to be rotten.

Obama and his 'Big Green' Friends: A Look at the Organization Structure of a Company Benefitting from the Stimulus Plan

For years, the media pried into Bush's relationship to big oil, and as Democrats tied his hands with restrictive environmental regulations furthering dependence on foreign oil who drove costs higher by limiting production. Americans often forget gasoline prices started to rise after Clinton signed the Clean Air Act of 1993. Just like every March, prices are going to begin rising quickly at the pumps as the formulations change creating shortages during the transition. In October, they will fall, just like they did this year. Are you ready for the higher prices under Obama? Who are you going to point the finger at when they do? Haliburton? Bush and his big oil friends? Let's point it at who it deserves to be pointed at, Obama and his 'Big Green' friends. Enjoy your cheap gas during the last couple weeks before the formulations change for the spring and summer driving seasons.

The media has done a poor job of reporting Obama's 'Big Green' friends. This past week, Obama signed the stimulus package, full of money for green energy alternatives that won't spark the economy as gas prices rise in the coming weeks, at Namasté Solar in Boulder, Colorado. Very few have looked into the strange coincidence of the signing, if it was a coincidence. It may have been intentional. Namasté from the Sanskirt language means 'I bow down.'

The company is the perfect little Obama company. Everyone is treated an equal in the company. They are paid as equals in the company. No one makes more than the other worker according to their 'holistic wealth' philosophy found on their page. The managers make the same as the workers. It's all about the collective working for the central. Are we surprised by Obama's 'big green' friends? Namasté Solar sounds like the perfect little commune. Why am I not surprised 'Big Green' is inspired by 'bigger red' purpose. It's not hard to figure out what drives the green movement once you start digging around, and Namasté Solar obviously takes it to the next step. Without a doubt, your stimulus money will probably be pumped into this red company. Karl Marx is smiling somewhere.

Obama Promises to Lower Federal Deficit by 2/3 (66%): And Where is Hillary?

In case you missed it, Dear Leader promised to stall the economy yesterday with promises of tax increases. You think the market sucked last week, you haven't seen anything yet. Accompanying Obama's tax increase pledge was another huge promise/wall. Obama plans to lower the deficit by 2/3.

On the same day Obama promised to cut the deficit, Hillary begs for money from the Chinese, who own a large portion of the US Debt. She wants them to invest in more US Debt. If I remember right, and this is complicated, Bill Clinton bragged he lowered the national debt. In reality, he allowed the Chinese to finance the debt when the bonds came due at a lower rate than the previous bonds. It was an illusion he successfully got away with because the media chooses which truths to report.

I smell a rat. Perhaps the magic trick is already planned from Bill Clinton's earlier illusion. The $10 trillion plus national debt would have have be lowered to under $3.5 trillion for Obama to fulfill his promise. He has the opportunity to spend that in his first months in office, so he's not off to a good start. Each additional dollar accumulated makes it harder for him to keep his promise. He's got less than four years to do it, and if I was a Vegas odds maker, the odds would be astronomically against him. All he has is an illusion he knows the press will report for him.

In 2009 America, Jesus Loves You and Your Baby is a Hate Crime: Rev. Walter B. Hoye II Going to Jail

When the greatest story of love becomes a hate crime in the United States, you better pay attention to the rest of your Constitutional rights. Rev. Walter B. Hoye II, a Baptist minister at the Progressive Missionary Baptist Church in Oakland, California, awaits sentencing from a judge because he held up a sign that said something that many kids are taught and sing from the time they are old enough to talk, 'Jesus Loves You.'

Reverend Hoye stood outside a California abortion clinic with his sign offering a message of love and additional information to those who wanted it--not forcing it upon anyone. Two thugs from the baby killing clinic, wearing orange colored jackets, stood in front of his sign to block people from seeing it. They carried large blank cards blocking Reverend Hoyes sign.

A few days later Hoye was charged for a hate crime. As the case was heard in a California court room, video evidence showed Hoye was not a threat and the abortion clinic's employees testimony didn't match up with what was on the video.




"I sat in the courtroom when the videotape was shown," said Dana Cody of the Life Legal Defense Foundation. "And pastor Hoye wasn't blocking; he was being blocked. He wasn't harassing, he was being harassed."

If something as loving as Jesus loves you is a hate crime which the First Amendment no longer protects, when will you be arrested for commenting on your descent for Obama? Our thug of a government is obviously out of control. They have on video the abortion thugs pacing next to this man harassing him for holding up a sign, and the reverend is the one who is arrested. He didn't threaten those men. He didn't threaten the women going into the clinic to who chose to kill what they created. He didn't threaten the building, the doctors, the receptionist, nurses, or even the Oakland city sanitation department workers. He held up a sign that says Jesus love you, and two years of his life may be robbed from this man.

Over the past week, I learned quickly why this country is divided. The bleeding heart liberals who teach tolerance aren't tolerant. I have known this fact for a very long time, but never personally dealt with it. Now that I have nearly 1,000 conservative themed blogs on the internet, I like many of you have become a target. Our country is divided because there is no tolerance from the left. The right has stayed silent and true to tolerance for so long, that we have allowed extreme liberals to cross a line. Now Reverend Hoye pays the price for our silence. Our silence has allowed these laws to be passed with little resistance.

Offer resistance that a liberal doesn't agree with you, and they start threatening you. They take your words out of context, attempt to change their meaning, and call you names. I learned this from experience this week as one visitor to my page began to investigate who I was and threw insults at me. All these childish games, like blocking signs, are designed to take the attention away from your argument. It's simple. We are right. They are wrong. In fact the left has become so wrong the only way they know to combat your argument is with silly games of insults, attempting to gather information about you and then threaten to use it, and changing the direction of your argument. So desperate was one person to change the direction of the argument that he used my Google ads, which I have little control over because they are based of keywords in my blogs, to attempt to claim I was hypocritical. Of course the obvious response is that makes MSNBC, Chris Matthews, and Kieth Olbermann hypocrites too, since they took ad revenue from John McCain--end of argument. It's too easy with to win arguments against liberals, but they now use the courts when all else fails.

In 2009, especially in the Obamanation, we are going to have to become proactive within our state's legislatures to insure the laws of the federal government meet their demise through the Constitutional powers of the states. The states have the power over the federal government, but there has been a trade off between federal dollars in exchange for the power. This is how we began losing our country along with the Federal Reserve act and Roosevelt's New Deal.

Everyone needs to flood Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's office with phone calls demanding he pardon Reverend Hoye. California has considered releasing prisoners because of their budget restraints, let them start by granting an innocent man who practiced his First Amendment right, over Captain McCrunch the Raper who stole the innocence from a young teenage woman.

This story should concern every one of you. The First Amendment is once again under attack. Are you going to let that continue, or are you going to stand up starting tomorrow when the state offices of California open?

I'm just curious why the REVEREND Al Sharpton or the REVEREND Jessie Jackson hasn't rose to their fellow reverend's defense.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (2/22/09)

At the annual Gridiron Dinner, April 28, 1987:

Incidentally, I've got a news item for you: We have a spin-off from our Star Wars research. It's a helmet for me to wear at press conferences. All I have to do is push a button and it shoots down incoming questions.

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 52 (The Day I Discover Liberals Hate Me)

Wow, Obama just spent more many than any other President in one month, and now he made the ulitmate promise. Cut the debt by 2/3 by the end of his first term. Conservative Women Unite, are you ready to mark another broken promise? I would imagine Monday is going to be another tough day for Wall Street as he announced tax increases for the rich. What a fool! This economy is going to be sick for a very long time.

I found out today that liberals hate me. Not that I was looking for long term friendships with people who can't put together understandable sentences and can't go without insults and name calling. Things got quite heated today, so I took the advice of Chicago Ray and established the intelligent quotient doctrine. It states, I will post liberal comments providing they show some class and present a reasonable argument to debate, but I refuse to approve any more crazy comments. At first, I thought that it would be good to post them so people can really see how crazy and angry the left is. Even with their guys running the Oval Office and Congress they are still miserable. I should have taken Ray's advice. It was like enabling an alcoholic. They eventually start assuming things in your argument, and I don't feel my blogs are hard to read. It's just a waste of my time do anything but hit delete. Thanks Ray for the good advice.

Here's tonight's totals:

The 2009 Screwtape Letters, Washington, D.C.: Letter From Uncle Billtape to Young Nephew Wormwood

My Dear Wormwood,

Uncle Billtape is very pleased at how well you have deceived the Americans. You are so close to stealing so much from them, but you must practice patience my young apprentice. To successfully steal the American soul, you must not make yourself so obvious. It's good other demons like Soroszeebub have taken over your doom and gloom. Quite clever really. Uncle Billtape is quite proud. Was it your idea or his idea for Soroszeebub to take over the Great Depression talk while you calm Americans fears by denying your support for their free speech and the Fairness Doctrine and sending Robert Gibbs out to lie for you young Wormword and claim it's not your intention to nationalize Citigroup. Deception is the key to robbing the American soul, so hit them when they don't see it coming young Wormwood.

My dear nephew, I give you an A for your first month's effort, but so much more can be done. Remember, my little buttercup failed in 1993 to shorten the lives of Americans through our sinister nationalized health care plan. Our master would love nothing better than to shorten the life of these miserable mortals and give them less of a chance to find faith, hope, and love through reducing the quality of their health care. Learn from buttercup's mistakes, deceive them and hide it in complicated legislation; perhaps a stimulus II to increase the sloth in America. The path to hell is legislation my dear nephew. You have done well creating a new generation of slothful Americans in such a short time.

Your affectionate uncle

Billtape

If you are unfamiliar with C.S. Lewis' (The Chronicles of Narnia) The Screwtape Letters, Uncle Screwtape is a demon observing and writing letters instructing his young demon nephew ways to insure damnation of a young man's soul. It's a look at the Christian life in the eyes of the devil. It's quite brilliant, and I thought I would have a little fun with it at the expense of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama; after all, the soul of America is facing another great test. Does America have the character she once had to prevail, or have we become so dependent on the government that we are willing to sacrifice freedom to provide them with more power? That's the question we need to ask in 2009, and I hope if its the latter, we work harder to protect the freedoms our country offers us.

The Reagan Quote of the Day (2/21/09)

Reagan joked at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in 1985:

It's my job to solve all the country's problems, and it's your job to make sure know one finds out about it.

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 51

More positivity from the Democrats. George Soros now claims he sees no bottom for the financial collapse. Given everything I have seen in the last couple weeks, I'm willing to bet Mr. Soros is making lots of money while I watch my mother's retirement fund shrink week after week. Soros called the current financial situation similar to the Soviet Union's financial collapse. Mr. Soro's if we had a media who did their jobs and discovered who, maybe you, is responsible for the run down on money market accounts that started this decline, then maybe we could remove the lack of leadership in Washington (who I have a feeling due to Mr. Obama's lackadaisical attitude towards the stock market) knows what strings got pulled behind the scenes. Ruin everyone's lives so Obama and the Democrats can get their power. What else am I to think at this point? Soros and Buffet know Obama's economic blunder isn't going to spark the economy. I wonder how much they stand to make by all of this?

We need action and some positivity coming out of Washington, and we are getting either. The middle class is dying tonight, and I have to look at my tax bill which feeds these greedy politicians who play political power Russian roulette. Nearly 40% of my income has been robbed from me this year, and you have to ask why the economy sucks. I'll tell you why it sucks. Steal 40% from the middle class, and they can't buy the goods it takes to keep the economy strong. Continue destroying the markets like whoever is responsible is doing in order to gain political power, and you are destroying the middle class who contributes to the strong economy. What hope are we really given from this fool named Obama? We're all going to be good little Peggy Josephs. Please Dear Leader pay my mortgage and put some green energy into my car. Praise ya masta, praise ya!

Would someone in the press please get the cojones (thanks EagleEye) to uncover the strange coincidences that have occurred since September 11, 2008, or am I going to have to resort to Alex Jones to uncover it for me? I can't bare to watch my county falter anymore, especially with a moron named Barack in charge.

3000 Plus Point Drop in Dow Since Polls Showed Obama Winning Easily Through His First Month in Office

Sometime in October, the reality of Barack Obama becoming (I still can't say it) Dear Leader Obama started to worry investors. As I noted last week, about the first of October, Obama took a double digit lead in the polls. Since then, the market's been on a roller coaster dropping from 10,831 to today's 100 point loss totaling 7,365. That's a net loss of 3466.

This was the week Obama's plans were to generate excitement and hope. They did neither, unless you are part of the Obama administration whose talking points are starting to wear thin on traders and investors. Just ask the guys at the Chicago Board of Trade.

Before you flame away blaming this on Bush, there comes a point when Bush no longer matters. Investors look beyond the old and what's going to happen in the future. Clearly on in October, investors were looking at whose policies were going to shape the economic of the United States. This became Obama's crash when investors decided he was moving to the White House.

Since the liberal readers don't accept reality, we will play be their rules. After all, it's the libs who are in charge of this now, and their programs obviously didn't inspire any confidence this week. On January 16, the final day the markets were open during the Bush Administration, the market closed at 8281. On January 20, the markets fell to 7949. Today they closed at 7365. That's a 900 point drop in Obama's first month.

There has been no confidence in the markets by investors or consumers. Obama's economic plans don't inspire, nor is Obama looking at the situation with any concern that millions of Americans retirement accounts are in real danger. It's almost as if he hopes the markets fail, so he gains more power over them. Once powerful stocks like CitiBank and General Motors are cheaper than a $5 footlong at Subway.

I say that it's almost as if he hopes the market fails, because the White House laughed at Rick Santelli after hearing his common sense rant on Obama's housing plan. Robert Gibbs blasted him today during the White House daily briefing. The liberals have demonized Wall Street investors, and they work to do the same with Santelli. Why should I have faith that they care what's going on with the markets?

I don't look to see any upward movement in the market. At work, we are waiting to see when it dips below 6000. It's pathetic that we have a leader who is obviously clueless, doens't care, or both. The Wall Street they demonize is the same Wall Street providing the hope of a better retirement over the pathetic mismanaged Roosevelt program we know as Social Security. Perhaps, Obama's love of government dependence is producing dependence for the next generations of Americans who were counting on their 401K plans. Thanks for the hope Dear Leader.

Friday Conservative Comedy Relief: Girl Scout Cookies, Bailouts, and Tim Slagle

Girl Scout cookie pre-orders are down 19%. The question is when Dear Leader Obama will step in to solve the worst Girl Scout cookie crisis in the history of Girl Scout cookie crises.

There's a common theme in today's laugh, but it's a scary theme. A theme even Bill Clinton mentioned in a recent interview, even though he partook in the theme for his 1992 election bid. For liberals to have a crisis, it has to be the worst crisis in the history of all similar crises. Here's Tim Slagle, a comedian from Chicago addressing this theme.




Have a great weekend!

Think Your Small-Town School is Safe From San Francisco-Style Liberalism?: Think Again

So you think your small-town school is safe of the anti-American views often associated with the liberals who teach San Francisco schools? Think again. I recently discovered an anti-capitalist movie was shown without the permission of parents in health classes at Ozark Junior High School, in Ozark, Missouri.

The movie in question carries a PG 13 rating and is shown to children on the age borderline in the school. When I was a kid you had to have a parental consent form to view these types of movies. I guess the schools feel it's their decision to make that decision for parents now. The move includes sexual discussions, a rectal exam, foul language including the ‘F’ word, drug references, references to male genitalia, and a graphic medical procedure. During the movie, Spurlock's vegan girlfriend worries she might not be sexually satisfied after Spurlock eats at McDonald's. This isn't educational. While I can’t be sure whether or not the teacher forwarded past these scenes, there is a far more serious issue with the movie.

The movie’s theme is capitalism is evil. McDonald’s is Morgan Spurlock’s victim. Spurlock goes on a 30-day McDonald’s diet to show a biased view claiming eating at McDonald’s is dangerous. The movie displays the evil corporation theme throughout its script. The movie promotes suing corporations over self responsibility. Don't want to teach people, or these children at Ozark for that matter, that you must be responsibility for your personal choices when you can have an attorney gain riches from your irresponsibility, right?

Spurlock’s claim that his health went tragically downhill in thirty days, was encouraged by his whiny vegan girl-friend, who was promoting herself as a vegan chef throughout the movie and his overbearing mother who cried as if McDonald’s was a terminal disease. Spurlock weakened his claim after featuring Don Gorske, who lives on a Big Mac diet. Gorske celebrates his 19,000 Big Mac during the movie. That’s over one Big Mac a day since 1972. If this guy isn’t dead, I think Spurlock’s claim his liver was junk after thirty days is just silly. Either that or Spurlock is one big liberal wuss whose mother was probably afraid of exposing him to germs as a child.

Spurlock uses many of the same elements in his movies as Michael Moore does. The underlying message of Supersize Me is capitalism is evil. This movie needs to be kicked out of Ozark Schools. If a teacher isn't capable of teaching healthy food choices without pushing Spurlock’s anti-American business rhetoric fueled by his girlfriend’s vegan beliefs, then they don't need to be teaching in the first place.

Dow Jones Drops Nearly 150 Points Shortly After it Opens: Please Shut Obama Up Before I Lose Any More Money

There is absolutely no confidence in Obama. His continued attempts to redistribute wealth with his social experimentation stimulus plan and housing plans have upset the real drivers of our economy. The Dow is down to almost 7300 in the first two hours of trading. Obama continues to let it slide by not considering his policies are pushing it lower, admitting that he may be wrong with the stimulus and other plans including banking plans, and working to come up with a better solution. Wake up Obama before we are officially in the 'Obama depression.' It's at the lowest point in nearly a decade, and there are no signs it's going up. The more Obama announces, the more it heads downward. The market has continued downward since it was obvious Obama was going to win the election.

Chicago Sun-Times Reports Obama and Democrats Haven't Paid Back City of Chicago for Grant Park Celebration

The Chicago Sun Times reported today, Chicago tax payers have not been reimbursed for the Obamagasm at Grant Park celebrating Obama’s victory. Obama and the Democrats owe the city $1.7 million dollars, and have made no attempts to pay the city back. Coincidentally, members of the Obama administration announced today new ways they want to use to take more money from you.

Chicago Looks to Put Cameras on Every Street Corner: Mayor Daley's Invasion of Your Privacy

As part of Mayor Daley’s attempt to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago, he wants to increase the use of government cameras in the city. Daley argues the cameras, installed after 2001 from a grant from the federal government, help police lower crime in the city? Oh really? How many murders happened in Chicago last year?

Daley wants to put a camera on every street corner. He says it’s for security, but in the past Daley has considered putting stop light cameras and speeding cameras on trash trucks and various other city vehicles. Are the cameras for security or to watch you and tax you? As a former resident of Chicago, I know Daley is infamous for looking at new ways to take from the people of Chicago.

If there is a camera on every street corner, Mayor Daley can not penalize people who make major purchases outside of the city, which is something he has contemplated for many years. Chicago residents frequently purchase expensive items like computers, appliances, and TVs in the burbs to escape Chicago’s nearly 11% sales tax. How much privacy will Chicago residents give up and what abuse of power will those who operate the cameras have. I can’t help but think about Minority Report. Without a doubt, it’s time for Daley to go. Wake up Chicago!

Netanyahu Wins: Hope to Exterminate the Iranian Nuclear Threat

Israel announced Benjamin Netanyahu will lead Israel after the close elections. This is good news after the Drudge report announced today Iran sits on enough weapons grade uranium to build a nuclear weapon. Netanyahu knows the threat and plans to remove it. He obviously has the kahoneys and the leadership now lacking in the United States in the current administration. According to Israeli intelligence, time is critical for removing the threat, so we should see action quickly. Netanyahu promised to destroy Hamas during the election as well. Somehow the world feels a little safer knowing someone in the region understands the threat of radical Islamic terrorists.

"Obama More Popular than Jesus Christ" in America: Sad Results of a New Harris Poll

What a sad day in America when Obama is considered the number hero in the eyes of America. There was a time in America in which Americans burnt Beatles records for such a claim. According to a poll, Obama is more popular than Jesus with Americans. I guess Jesus isn't giving away enough free houses these days for the participants, a mistake many participants will realize when they are refused an eternal home after their death.

Jesus fell to second after receiving the top position in 2001. Martin Luther King followed with Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush taking the fourth and fifth spot. And we wonder why we are no longer blessed as a nation and why we suffer in 2009?

First of all, would someone please tell me what Obama has done to become a hero? May I say it? Other than being black what has he done? He’s not even all black at that. He’s imprisoned future generations of American with his wreck less spending. He has rewarded the undeserving. I don’t see hero when I look at Obama.

This reminds me of a paper I wrote my freshman year in college about how shallow Americans are in picking their heroes. Obama’s record is not heroic. Even prominent black leaders have attacked his blackness. What is it about Obama that makes him heroic?

My hero was my grandfather. If you want real heroes, look around you. Forget the demagogues. There are three people that deserve to be on the list, and Obama isn’t one of them. Let’s give him a few years to see what he does as the nation’s first halfrican President.

The top ten are: 1. Barack Obama 2. Jesus Christ 3. Martin Luther King 4. Ronald Reagan 5. George W. Bush 6. Abraham Lincoln 7. John McCain 8. John F. Kennedy 9. Chesley Sullenberger 10. Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa fell five spots, and is more worthy than most on the list, especially number 1. Interestingly enough, Bush rose from #19 to #5. Perhaps Americans value his leadership now they have no leadership.

Senator Jim DeMint Hopes to Force Vote Banning Fairness Doctrine: Broadcaster Freedom Act

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) plans to offer the Broadcaster Freedom Act in the Senate next week. The idea of the bill prevents in the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine. DeMint hopes to force a vote to pressure Democrats to choose a side.

I’m glad President Obama finally confirmed his opposition to the Fairness Doctrine, which attacks the right of free speech on talk radio, but many Democrats in Congress are still pushing it,” DeMint said. “With the support of the new administration, now is the time for Congress to take a stand against this kind of censorship. I intend to seek a vote on this amendment next week so every senator is on record: Do you support free speech or do you want to silence voices you disagree with?”

We know three Senators, Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Tom Harkin (D-IA) no longer believe in the First Amendment and hope to restore the Fairness Doctrine. Bill Clinton, who has been a media darling as of late, supporting everything that made his Presidency a failure, also supports the Fairness Doctrine.

Write your Senator and demand they support Senator Jim DeMint and free speech!

Texas Joins Sovereignty Bill States: Leo Berman, Brandon Creighton, and Bryan Hughes Introduce HCR-50

You'd expect Texas to lead in the sovereignty battle to restore power back to the states as Thomas Jefferson and the forefathers intended. They were a little behind in the movement, but they have jointed, nonetheless. Leo Berman, Brandon Creighton, and Bryan Hughes introduced H.C.R. 50 citing the state's power which the Ninth and Tenth Amendment gives Texas and the other 49.

HCR-50 demands the federal government to cease and desist all mandated beyond those which the Constitution grants them. This is similar to California and Arizona's sovereignty legislation. Alarmed by the increasing, influence of the federal government over the states, Texas' 81st legislature has moved in the right direction. To defeat Obama, states must restore their Constitutional rights to rule as individual republican governments.

New Hamspshire's HCR-6 is still the best of the sovereignty bills I have viewed to date. It's good to see more states moving to protect themselves from Obama's plans.

Clinton Hands Young Obama Grade Card: What Country Has Bubba Lived In the Past Month

Bill Clinton is the new media darling again. Just a few months ago, the Clintons were the scum of the world in the Democratic party. Now the election is over, the press has made up with the former, disgraced president. As long as Clinton speaks positively about Obama, they are giving him all sorts of air time. All of this looks really fishy to me. Give Bill the airtime he missed during the last eight years, and watch him blindly follow the man who made Clinton look like a racist.

So the amateur Clinton cited as inexperienced before the nomination gets an A for his first month in office. On the day the stock market closed at it's lowest level in nearly a decade without much hope to spark it upwards today, Clinton obviously shows how responsible for the modern education system that rewards all kids on feelings--not accomplishments. Don't want to hurt Dear Leader's feelings again, eh Bill? Afraid of the race card and what it may do to your meaningless career as an insignificant ex-President?

The truth is Clinton doesn't have much of a legacy left. He has worked to glamorize the legacy in the eight years since he left office, but a blue stained dress and a cigar are what most people remember about him. Clinton's real legacy is he had the chance to kill Bin Ladin eight times, and let him go each time. (We now know what that meant to over 3,000 Americans.) What was good and worth celebrating about the Clinton administration, and something Clinton has bragged about for years, was reversed in less than a month leaving no significant remains of Clinton's eight years in Washington. Obama returned America to the welfare state. Clinton's grade is a joke.

It will be fun watching Clinton run from Obama once all of this starts going wrong. For some reason, Obama wants to handle a bad situation with everything bad piece of economic advice he can take. It will be Clinton speaking up first. If my administration was still in office...

Transportation Secretary Recommends Microchipping Your Car to Tax You on Your Milage Usage

If Transportation Ray LaHood thinks I am going to microchip my car, so the federal government can watch and tax my movements, he’s got another thing coming. At first, the state of Oregon toyed around with the idea of tracking cars with GPS for taxation. The idea reached the federal government, and LaHood wants to consider the idea.

Under the law, you will receive a tax bill for the number miles you drive. It’s unclear if the federal excise tax on gasoline will expire. Taxes could be calculated based on the size of your vehicle.

"We should look at the vehicular miles program where people are actually clocked on the number of miles that they traveled," the former Illinois Republican lawmaker said.
I can’t help but think of the can of worms this opens up. In fact, I could see this used as a weapon to destroy political enemies of the current administration. If they control the microchip and the software, you may find your cars been in places it has never been before to ruin your reputation and remove your chances of removing those who in control. I know this sounds crazy, but let’s put it in a different perspective.

What if your car is in the vicinity of a crime. You just become a suspect based on your cars location. If the government wants to hush you up, let’s say a prominent Conservative voice of descent, who is to say they wouldn’t be willing to set up a murder based on the vicinity of your car. I know these are all huge conspiracies, but in the wrong hands, these types of scenarios exist.

Today we have more stories of cameras and government tracking through GPS. Your right to privacy is under attack. Are you going to let the government track your every move through the use of cameras and GPS. It’s time to fight!

"So This is How Liberty Dies, With Thunderous Applause"

The liberal attacks have increased in recent weeks as Obama, for the first time, outlines his plans for America. My passion for Thomas Jefferson's vision has liberals calling me negative and hateful. As government tramples on our Constitution, many claim I am ticked off at the world. Since when is standing up for your rights and against an oppressive government negativity? Only in the Obamanation, I guess.

The rants linger on forever, often lacking coherence. How could one spend that much time attacking the liberty that allows them to type their weak arguments in the first place? Why is it so hard for people to see when the government regulates simple pleasures like fireplaces, they are gaining too much power. When government wants to place GPS in your car to track your movements and tax you based on your movement, they are robbing you of your liberty. As long as you follow the basic moral laws of the land, it's none of the government's business where you go daily. Yet, these attacks support the government's efforts to remove more freedom. The applaud believing Obama's plan to weatherize homes will provide the spark the economy needs, without considering our forefather's never intended the federal government to have the power to weatherize homes. Such ignorance builds the government's power over us.

Thomas Jefferson once said, "A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have."

These liberals applaud the removal of free speech in the Fairness Doctrine. They want the one force that insures liberty to removed from law-abiding Americans who practice Jefferson's enforcement against a strong central government in the Second Amendment. They blindly follow science, polluted by government grants and subsidies, that hasn't been proven in exchange for giving up a few rights and attack scientists who admit their science/religion is politically motivated. They attack corporations and CEOs who are motivated by money, but they never hold scientists the same standard. They all battle for government grants to fund their research. Where is Thomas Jefferson when we need him most?

Liberals don't care if they trample my right to carry a gun or my free speech as long as they have to right to kill the outcome of a one-night-stand or a careless accident. Do they celebrate their current leader approves of killing born babies? He voted four times in favor of infanticide in Illinois. Do born babies not have rights either?

Isn't it sad that people in the United States need the government to tell them how to live life these days? The nanny state is here, and playing the parent gives government more power. These liberals used to scream against the government and its powers in the late 1960s. Now they celebrate the increased power the government gains. If you disagree with them, they work to shut you up attacking even the most basic parts of you. I had one disgraceful liberal unsuccessfully try to bring up my professional life to discredit my blogs. He obviously didn't realize I separate my professional life from my blogs, even though there are similar elements in each. He did so without understanding what I do, or use the tools I provided him to do so. He hoped to shut me up and embarrass me, but he only embarrassed himself with his assumption.

My blogs have quickly moved up in Google. I am amazed at how many of my blogs get ranked high. It invites the loons to attack. I don't know if these people are paid Democratic workers, as someone told me they might be, or just blindly follow Obama. I don't care. It saddens me to see how quickly they are willing to give up their freedoms.

For eight years, I listened to these liberals complain George W. Bush infringed on our rights with wiretapping designed to gain knowledge of those who wished to do our country harm. These same liberals celebrate the Presidency of Bill Clinton, who used the Echelon project to gain knowledge of his political enemies, giving him access to any digital transmission relayed to satellites. Now after Obama decides to follow Bush's footsteps, these liberals could care less about their rights. In fact, they further their attacks on conservatives rather than question Obama’s goals. Bruce Springsteen once said, "blind faith in your leaders will get you killed." Something tells me he doesn't believe that in 2009. How naive! That same thinking should apply not just to Democrats but to Republicans as well. Americans should care more than they display.

For six years, the liberals complained about the war. Now Obama is shipping 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan. The complaints have died. What was it Bruce Springsteen said again?

I have had enough of the ignorance liberals display on my blog, often leaving an incomprehensible pile of crap as T. Carlson and others who celebrate the death of the RV, the fireplace, and the SUV, while remaining hopeful Obama's stimulus will create jobs. The best jobs are gone, and as long as government places government restrictions based on bad science over people, they are not coming back. These people chose to listen to a certain group of scientists gambling for government grants over those who ran from the science and risked losing grants.

I have noted liberals celebrating spending $6 billion on home weatherization to save $400 million dollars in energy bills. (I didn't post it, some liberal named Mr. Anonymous in Texas posted it.) It's sad to see the idiocy produced by the public schools in this country. It's sad that I actually have people coming to my site already from Google searching how to I get my weatherization stimulus money. Grow up. Do you need someone to hold your hand throughout the rest of your life? What happened to the love of Independence children learn as they turn to teenagers. It seems like these days, it comes back at age 18. Weatherize you own homes. You would ask the government to mow your yard, so why are you asking them to put additional fiberglass in your home? There is nothing to celebrate in this bill, unless you never grew out of sucking off a teat.

Glen Beck Interviews New Hampshire Representative Dan Itse on HCR-6

Even the Ron Paul's Web site reported New Hampshire HCR-6 hit a road block last week, New Hampshire Representative Dan Itse seems optimistic for the bill. Glen Beck interviewed Representative Itse earlier this week regarding his sovereignty bill. Notice Itse never says secede, because as he points out, there is no union if the Constitution isn't followed. Brilliant! I never looked at it that way before.

As you will see in the video, these aren't radical ideas. They are the ideas of our forefathers.

The Growing Movement of State Sovereignty: The Fear of too Much Federal Government Power has Sparked a Quiet Revolution

Amendment X: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Obama's stimulus bill, housing plan, international abortion funding, and the unknown plans of the future of which we are seeing hints of in the stimulus law, such as the national health care data base, has many state legislatures preparing to enforce the Tenth Amendment. While secession was demonized during the election, as Democrats tried to smear Sarah Palin's name with a secession movement in Alaska, nothing could be further from the truth. Secession is patriotic. Far more patriotic than Joe Biden's definition of patriotism. In fact, the federal income tax would be just cause to secede. Each state has the right to leave the union providing the federal government grows too powerful and removes the power of the states.

For far too long, the states have allowed the federal government power in exchange for appropriations to the states. States have sold their sovereign soul to the federal devil so to speak.

Americans need to get it out of their mind that secession is bad. It's the big, overpowering federal government that's bad. The founding fathers never intended on the federal government bailing companies out, taking over the health care system, overseeing public education, and weatherizing homes. (For some reason, I get a lot of flack for reminding liberals it's not the federal government's job to weatherize homes.) All of these violations are valid reasons to secede.

It's not disrespectful to the military to secede either. One lady couldn't support New Hampshire HCR-6 because she felt it was disrepectful to our troops. Remember, the troops took an oath to protect the Constitution and the Constitution comes before the president in that oath. Our Constitution is far greater in importance that Barack Obama.

In nearly half the states now, state legislatures are preparing to save our Constitution with their own sovereignty bills which reflect the power granted in the Tenth Amendment.

The following states have sovereignty bills.

Arizona HCR 2024-That this Resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.

Missouri HR-212 introduced by Representative Cynthia Davis, restricts the federal government from mandating union regulations upon the state with the Freedom Choice Act. I have asked her to draw up additional conditions as well, similar to HCR-6 in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire HCR-6 introduced by Representative Bob Mead and Representative Daniel Itse. This is my favorite and lives up to the slogan, Don't Tread on Me. It prohibits martial law, involuntary servitude, surrendering of power to a foreign government, and protection of the First and Second Amendments.

Oklahoma HJR 1089 serves as “Notice and Demand to the federal government, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.”

Michigan HCR 4 which protects the Second Amendment.

Montana HB 0246 protects the Second Amendment.

Washington HJM 4009 restores power back to the state and instructs the federal government is in violation of the Constitution with its federal mandates and legislation over seeing the state.

Hawaii

California SJR 44 is similar to Washington's HJM 4009.

Georgia SR 308 is similar to both California and Washington's.

Colorado House Joint Resolution 94-1035 is similar to the Washington, California, and Georgia's.

States which are considering a sovereignty bill this year include:

Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine, and Illinois.

Surprisingly Texas, with all the issues with illegal aliens crossing the boarder isn't on the list. I actually find it sad that Texas isn't leading the way. With its rich history, you would think they would have a bill drawn.

If we are going to beat Obama and Democrats, we are going to have to do it by using the Constitution to restrict their powers. That's what the Constitution does. It keeps them from stepping out of bounds. This administration is way out of bounds, and representatives like Cynthia Davis, Daniel Itse, and Bob Mead are heroes and patriots for standing up for the Constitution.

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 50

Wow, we're already 50 days into the year. Where does it go?

Today we saw our Dear Leader Obama tell the people of Canada "it's good to be hear in Iowa," during his first international trip. Anybody get the feeling all the blunts and lines of cocaine Obama admitted to doing has killed his mental capacities? I have no doubts!

Obviously, Obama's limited mental skills weren't utilized during the nomination process. It looks like Rahm Emanuel has received some favors amounting to over $100,000 that he didn't disclose and pay taxes on. I wonder of Obama sounds like Homer Simpson when he yells D'oh! (I looked it up on Wikipedia. It's really D'oh and it's a trademark of 20th Century Fox! Who knew?)

Is it just my imagination or does Obama look older? Remember they made Clinton look older too to generate some ethos. Surely the lack of media hasn't stressed him out and aged him that much in 30 days.

The Julio Osegueda Review from his Shot on the Mancow & Pat Cassidy Show

If Julio Osegueda wasn't so conditioned on entitlement and government dependence (last week he asked Obama if he would help him get more benefits from his job at McDonald's), I'd probably like the kid. He has lots of heart. DJ in a major FM market? I don't think so, but the kid has heart.

He appeared on WLSAM's Mancow and Pat Cassidy show today. Like I said last night, Obama learned to lie after the Jessica Simpson statement, who Obama basically called fat. Osegueda's communication skills need work. Despite Oseguda's heart, he isn't smooth in his delivery. What you heard with Obama and CNN, is what you got with Mancow-monotone, sloppy, and choppy. Surprisingly, To my surprise, Cassidy was the hardest on the Obamaphyte.

I am not sure why Osegueda wishes to leave McDonalds? After five years, you would think he would be in management, but he still works the drive through, where he practices his radio career. He claims the customers love him, and I think I would enjoy Osegueda too compared to the guy at Wendy's today who handed me my receipt with a stoner sounding 'thanks man.' Not that I am sure Osegueda isn't smoking something. He had a man-size Obamagasm not seen since Chris Matthews, and one has to wonder what causes one man to get that excited about another man. In Chris Matthews' case, we probably know the truth, but Osegueda has a girlfriend.

As I was saying, he practices his radio announcing at McDonald's, "Would you like 44 ounces of thirst-quenching and refreshing, ice cold McDonald's sweet tea to go along with your 100% pure beef, mouth watering Quarter Pounder?" Now that's some suggestive selling coming out of that little drive-through speaker. How could you say no? I can't remember the last time I received that kind of service at a McDonalds. I don't think this kid's calling is radio, I think he could teach some customer service in the McDonald's corporation. Are you paying attention Oak Brook, IL? You might have yourself a real asset worth offering a promotion to and some benefits. Heck, Julio could probably even convince Morgan Spurlock to Super Size it one more time.

By the way, I have come across a couple of blogs calling Osegueda "Our Joe the Plumber," meaning he is the liberal version of Joe. You can't have a liberal Joe the Plumber. It doesn't work that way. Joe is self-motivated, Julio the McDonald's Chef is dependent and wants further dependence on the government. It's really the stupidest comparison I have seen in recent days.

Has Rahm Emanuel Cheated on his Taxes Too?: More Stellar Ethics from the Obama Administration

Rahm Emanuel is one of those cheap, liberal millionaires-the stingy type. In fact, probably has the role of Scrooge down perfectly from what I know about him. So, how much of a miser is Emauel? For years as a Congressman, he freeloaded off Representative Rosa De Lauro (D-CT) living in a posh Capitol townhouse for over five years . This may seem like it's none of our business, but there were kickbacks to De Lauro's husband, pollster Stan Greenberg. Emanuel threw official work the way of Greenberg, so the problem exists, under House ethics rules, did Emanuel disclose the gift of free rent? Of course he didn't.

As chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Emanuel approved huge contracts for Greenberg's firm. The contracts totaled over $550,000.

So it looks like Emanuel provided favors for a free place to stay without ever declaring it. Emanuel claims it was just hospitality, but does a five-year stay sound like simple hospitality to you?

Estimates of the rent for that time period are well over $100,000. Which is and should be taxable income. (Do you understand that Tim DeChristopher blog surfers who have attacked me for suggesting DeChistopher better declare the money received as gifts to purchase the land he bid on.) Basically, we have another case of Daschle in the Obama administration. It looks like Emanuel has lived up to the reputation of the Democratic discipleship. Obama's administration is amongst the dirtiest in politics when it comes to ethics. If Conservative Women Unite haven't marked down the ethics promise as broken, please do so.

Video of Rick Santelli and his Obama Dissent for Paying "Losers' Mortgages": Suggests "Chicago Tea Party in July"

Rick Santelli is an American hero, and shows clearly not everyone is behind Obama! We salute you Rick! You are worthy of a Thomas Jefferson award for Constitutional Awareness. If you organize the Chicago Tea Party, we will come! Won't we! Rick just became Peggy Joseph's Freddy Krueger.

Market Down 13% This Year

Obama's two most important days in his Presidency met Wall Street's rejection. The market is at a near ten-year low, and Obama's stimulus package and his announcement to help home owners did little to spark investor confidence. The market is down 13% this year, and considerably more since investors saw an obvious Obama win. Obama hasn't been good for the economy, and the market shows it has little faith that Obama is the man to save the economy. I sit wondering how much more money I can throw away with the hope of a bounce or recovery. Sure, I am picking up stock cheap, but I have been given little confidence that Obama's interests are in the free market.

Chimpanzee Political Cartoon Sees Racist Charges: New York Post Among First Charged with Obama Racist Tag

The New York Post is receiving racial flack for a cartoon they ran linking the crazy chimpanzee to the stimulus package. I don't know, considering Pelosi had more to do with the Stimulus package than Obama, I think it's a stretch. I personally don't find it offensive. Government is a monkey on the backs of many, and the stimulus bill is the King Kong of all government spending. It's quite clever, and it foreshadows what's coming. Now Congress has their pet projects they held knowing Bush wouldn't pass them, there will be stimulus two after stimulus one fails. I'm willing to bet a chimp could write a better stimulus package than what Obama, Pelosi, and Reid came up with. As a former member of the armed services and from a family with two World War Two veterans, I find Attorney General Eric Holder's comment calling America a nation of cowards far more insulting. Let's stop being over-protective of Obama. Obama and his policies need tough analyzing so we have a nation when he is finished experimenting. George W. Bush had far more ugly things thrown his way, not to mention the racial slurs against Condoleeza Rice. The same people who are upset with this cartoon are the same people who gave Obama's preacher, Jeremiah Wright a pass from his racial hate. There's obviously a double standard when it comes to Obama, who received the same free pass after nearly 20 years of sitting in a church that preached hate for white people. Free speech isn't always beautiful, but it's better than the alternative.

Another Sign the Economy Will Become Sicker Under Obama: Tough CO2 Regulations Coming

Obama's next vision of change is the naive attempt to reduce carbon emissions. How far will he go? I'm thinking perhaps, he should stop picking on the little guy trying to make a living, and look at the government he is building up to make a difference. He could start looking at the little things like how much CO2 does Kennedy's eternal flame put off? Perhaps, he could reduce it to a candle. Air Force One could become Cessna One. (Something tells me he will log more miles on Air Force One than Bill Clinton. He hasn't stayed in Washington for longer than five days.) He could sell the presidential limo which gets a whopping four to eight miles to the gallon, plus the fuel and costs to ship it everywhere add to the Obama's carbon footprint. How about the presidential hybrid. Obama's plan to regulate carbon will destroy more American industries, so might as well make the inevitable change and make it a Toyota Prius. There are obvious cuts Obama's administration could make in their own lives before telling us how we are going to live. Will they? Of course not? Just like Nancy Pelosi is too good to fly in a little plane that she has to fill up half way across the country, Obama will force these regulations on everyone else but the global warming extremist Democrats in government. (Obama with all of his global warming beliefs drove a Hemi V-8 in his private life.)

In the coming months, Obama will become the first man to regulate CO2. Despite a considerable number of scientists running from the global warming debate, Obama won't open the debate to these respectable scientists claiming man-made global warming is a hoax. It's not nor has it ever been about climate change. Democrats know they can use global warming to control and tax Americans. Many 'green' Democrats fail to live green lives (Al Gore), which tells me all I need to know about what they really think about man-made global warming. Remember Obama's weekend leading up to is 'ungreen' green inauguration? Remember Nancy Pelosi demanding a bigger plan to fly herself back to San Francisco? These idiots (Obama and Pelosi) claim they care about the environment, shape policy on the environment, but won't be inconvenienced by their own claims and laws.

The New York Times surprisingly cited a truth about Obama's plan. It "would have a profound impact on transportation, manufacturing costs." I have predicted it many times on my blog and the liberals at work don't want to listen either. Fuel prices are going to soar under Barack Obama, and last summer's prices will look mild compared to what's coming. Not only that, but Obama's stimulus package will take another hit once the costs to manufacture goods goes up, not to mention the stimulus packages goes to fix infrastructure they don't want us using in the first place, roads, bridges, etc. These structures will receive less used with Obama's attempts to regulate.

The Supreme Court ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to determine whether CO2 is a dangerous pollutant that affects the public health. Apparently the Supreme Court forgot one of the most basic science lessons they teach you in school.

As Obama tells us this is the worst economy in the history of worst economies, he is going to risk healing the economy without listening to other arguments challenging the global warming debate. If he environmental regulations create an anti-industry climate, we might as well kiss GM and Chrysler goodbye. Of course, why am I not to believe this is just a power play for more government power on the road to nationalization. Weaken the industries with pseudo science, and they will come begging to you. Government has forced them to beg, and then inconvenienced them and humiliated them with their private jets (as the government continues to fail, occurring massive deficits, Pelosi's flights back and forth to San Francisco cost this country millions every year). You'd have to be a fool not to see the double standard with the Democrats.

Coming Soon to a Theater Near You: The Worst Forgotten Bailouts in the History of Worst Forgotten Bailouts

It was a time of economic unrest. Over the period of the first month, the same theme was repeated over and over and over. This is this worst case scenario in the history of all worst case scenarios. In the eyes of one young, black man, nothing about America looked good. He quickly went to work proposing massive, big-government spending unlike any massive, big-government spending in the history of massive, big-government spending. Despite it being one of the most unpopular bills in the history of unpopular bills, he signed it into law anyway. The next day he proposed to spend billions more to solve another crisis that was the worst crisis in the history of worst crises. This man, Barack Obama, only knows one way, spend and spend fast. No other pocket has burned faster in the history of burning pockets than the money burning from Obama's pocket.

Each day as he makes each new crisis into the worst crisis in the history of worst crises, there are a couple crises that people have forgotten, which might entice Dear Leader to spend even more money. So far we have the worst bank crises in the history of worst bank crises, which may be more of a scam than a crisis. We have the worst automobile industry crisis in the history of worst automobile crises. We have the worst recession in the history of worst recession crises (even far greater than the worst recession crisis in the history of worst recessions crises of 1992 which helped elect Bubba Clinton (amazing how people still fall for this rhetoric)). We have the worst housing crisis in the history of worst housing crises. Barack Obama has more to money to print and spend as the money continues to burn faster in the pocket of the fastest burning pocket which money has ever burned through in the history of fastest money burning pockets.

In the coming days, the student loan crisis which is the worst student loan crisis in the history of student loan crises will need more money thrown at it. Obama will scare students that they may not be able to go to school in the fall because this is obviously the worst student loan crisis in the history of student loan crises. Obama throws more money at the students from that burning pocket which is the fastest money burning pocket in the history of money burning pockets, and Obama saves the day and sures up the youth vote in 2012.

I don't think the credit card crisis which is the worst credit card crisis in the history of worst credit card crises has gone away either. I wonder how much the fastest burning pocket in the history of money burning pockets will throw at the Peggy Joseph constituents who carelessly used their credit cards? Like the worst housing crisis in the history of worst housing crises, the tax payers will fund more irresponsibility from the worst generation in the history of all irresponsible generations with Obama's solution to the credit card crisis.

When theses crisis are over, there will be new worst crises in the history of worst crises because printing money just created the worst hyperinflation in the history of hyperinflation, and you will have this blog to say I told you so.

I think even gave Obama a headache after reading this. Of course, he has given us all a headache with his everything his worse rhetoric.

(If you had problems reading this blog, thank Gertrude Stein for the inspiration, who Dr. F tortured me with Stein in Survey of American Literature.)

The Reagan Quote of the Day (2/19/09)

I realize there's a theory that good news is not good for the ratings, but I would like to suggest to the media that during National Volunteer Week they give attention to America's heroic private-sector initiatives. Then if the ratings go down, they can go back to the bad news.

Add Sarah Palin to the List of Repbublican Governors Looking to Just Say No (Stimulus)

Earlier today, Bobby Jindal (Louisiana) led the charge of Republican governors who may tell Obama where to stick his worthless stimulus law. In Missouri, our worthless governor, Jay Nixon, Obamagasmed first presenting the first stimulus project in the United States. It's not all cheery for Dear Leader. Five other governors are considering telling Obama we don't believe your stimulus will stimulate the economy. And a major concern to all six governors are what they will have to concede to the Obama administration once they accept the money.





"My concern is there's going to be commitments attached to it that are a mile long, We need the freedom to pick and choose. And we need the freedom to say 'No thanks,'" said Texas Governor Rick Perry.





The other four governors are:

• Sarah Palin, Alaska
• Haley Barbour, Mississippi
• C.L. Butch, Idaho
• Mark Sanford, South Carolina

Julio Osegueda Get's Shot on Mancow's Show Tomorrow

After listening to Julio Osegueda stumble for words speaking to Obama and then to CNN, it was obvious to me he has a long way to go before he is of professional quality broadcaster/DJ. Thanks to Mancow, he will get his chance tomorrow on WLS and on his syndicated show. Both can be heard online. (syndicated show 5:30-10:00 AM CST, and WLS 9:00-11:00 AM CST)

Mancow's made fun of Osengueda saying he sounds like Cookie Monster, playing cuts of Osegueda followed by C is for Cookie. No doubt the Drew Peterson interviews are starting to wear on the show, which reached it's peak when Peterson challenged Geraldo Rivera to a fight.

Although Mancow hasn't come out and said it, it doesn't seem like he has much confidence in Oseguda's vocal talent. It's obvious after Obama attacked Jessica Simpson on her weight, that someone pulled Obama aside and and told him compliments only. I guess tomorrow we will see. I hope Osegueda hasn't quit his McDonald's job. Also, how is he keeping up with college with all this notoriety?

One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 49

A caller on the Rush Limbaugh show today called stating that his property taxes haven't been adjusted downward even though the value of his house declined. Are any of use surprised? That reminded me of the letter I wrote to Christian County, Missouri Assessor Sandra Bryant-Littles. I had forgotten about it, because like most public officials, they often don't feel your important enough to address your concerns. As far as they are concerned you just a contribution to the city, county, state, of federal government, and the only time they get really concerned about you is when you don't pay your taxes, unless of course you an Democrat nominated by Obama.

My letter asked the simple question, when can I expect a refund on the illegal tax Christian County, Missouri charged in their property tax assessments. I guess when you charge an illegal tax which the voters didn't approve you wish to stay clear of those questions until the courts rule. After all, Ozark High School does have a football stadium to pay for with those extra tax dollars. I also called to see if there will be an adjustment in property taxes based on current housing trends. They must go home before 5:00.

Something tells me the residents of Kansas are receiving the same treatment from their elected officials, who overtaxed them last year, and mismanaged the budget. I doubt Kathleen Sebelius hesitates to take stimulus money, unlike Bobby Jindal, who looks to protect the residents of Louisiana of any conditions which might imposed on the state after receiving stimulus.

The bottom line is you are always at the mercy of the government when it comes to taxes. The states of California and Kansas decision to suspend tax refunds says one thing about the leadership in those states. There's obviously a disrespect to the hard working people of those states who have little choice in the way the tax system is set up. They are forced to pay in before they even see the money; yet, these states don't care enough to insure a penny over is refunded in a acceptable amount of time. If I were Kansas, I would show Ms. Sebelius to the door.

Finally, I went to Walmart today. I have been sick the last couple of days, and my faith is in the Rush Limbaugh approved Zicam. Honestly, I think it probably would have been worse without the Zicam, but I wish it was working a little quicker. I have been lucky this winter as this is my first cold. I have been using Zicam as a preventative. It seems to work.

As I was picking up more Zicam, I decided to buy a case of ammo. The man said we are all out. "I don't know why we are going through it so quickly. It's not like they are going to take the guns away." I had to think about that for a couple seconds, bite my tongue, and settle with, "but they might make buying ammo harder." He wasn't convinced.

This bothers me a bit. People really aren't paying attention to the militant method in which the stimulus bill passed. Obama broke so many promises getting it passed, that this guy wants to put his faith that our gun laws are safe? Remember what Bruce Springsteen said. "Blind faith in your leaders will get you killed." In this case, it may put the man in the outdoor section at Walmart in the unemployment line. Pay attention, there are a few bills in the House right now putting further restrictions on guns.

Richard K. Davis of US Bancorp: The New Enemy of the State

The details that continue to come out about the current financial crisis in the United States are scary to say the least. Why would the government lock the CEOs of the nation's most powerful banks in a room, instruct them they aren't leaving until the agree to take TARP money (despite banks like Wells Fargo not needing the money), and tell them that they are to spend it in investing in smaller banks while politicians tell Americans the CEOs were instructed to begin lending again?

The first bank to speak up with Wells Fargo. They claimed Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke forced them to take the money regardless of the health of their bank. Wells Fargo managed their banks funds admirably, and didn't provide mortgages to those who didn't qualify. (I'm sure to the dismay of Barney Frank.)

Richard K. Davis now speaks up alerting Americans that the government told them not to use the money to free up lending but to purchase smaller banks. No wonder there was no economic impact on the economy after the banks were provided with $750 billion in bailout money.

We were told to take it so that we could help Darwin synthesize the weaker banks and acquire those and put them under different leadership," he said. "We are not even allowed to mention that. ... We were supposed to say the TARP money was used for lending."

But Davis is talking about it now, he says, because he and others oppose current and future strings attached to the program. Davis didn't detail those strings, but he said he and some peers intend to voice their opinions to Washington, D.C., soon.

Now they're punishing you for having the capital, he said, adding that he refuses to stand by and let his company become "collateral damage" in an attempt to nationalize the banks.

In the last week, we have learned what led up to the banking crisis--an unexplained run down on money market accounts which the government stopped at $550 billion to save the US Economy. We know it occurred on September 11, 2008, making it look like it was terrorist related. We know it set up the election of Barack Obama. We know it brought many bank CEOs to their knees and forced them into a Faustian Deal. We know the public was now misinformed to the purpose of the bailout money and fed a different story than what these bankers were told. It's becomes more obvious everyday that a power play occurred to transition the center of power in the United States from a free-market economy to a government to a statism, socialist-based economy. Today, we find out that some Republicans are backing Democrats to nationalize the banks. I'm starting to feel sold out by both sides, but my gut feeling tells me the Democrats managed to pull of the greatest transition of power in the United States, and hopeless Republicans like Graham and McCain now accept the inevitable hoping Obama keeps his words that the banks will only be nationalized until they are healthy again. I think they are fools.

Skeptical About Obama's Statement Opposing the Fairness Doctrine

Yesterday, Obama just signed into law a bill no one had time to read. Congressional interests through a little bit in here, and a little bit in there. Based on what I have seen so far from the Obama administrations inattention to important details, I'm provided with no comfort regarding today's statement on the Fairness Doctrine.

White House spokesman Ben LaBolt stated on Fox News, "as the president stated during the campaign, he does not believe the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated." That may reassure some people, but judging from what I have seen come out of Washington the past four weeks, I have my doubts.

Who's to say that the Fairness Doctrine doesn't wind up hidden in a piece of massive legislation and rushed to pass. Democrats locked out Republicans, including the three traitors (Specter, Collins, and Snowe) from the final negotiations between the Senate and the House during the stimulus debate. Who says it won't happen again and at the last minute and the Fairness Doctrine, or something similar, gets thrown in. Given the amount of time legislators were given to read the stimulus bill, there may be no way of finding out it's in there until it's too late.

Obama hopes to appear bipartisan. He's not going to step on anyone's toes by announcing his support to hush his critics up. After all, he's got Lindsey Graham and John McCain on his side now moving towards nationalizing the banks. Nationalizing banks should present complicated legislation of a few thousand pages; perhaps, it might wind up in there.

Obama has given little reason to trust him. He claimed transparency and then built a wall. He claimed ethics, and pushed Timothy Giethner in. It's obvious for a man who claimed ethics would be important to him, other nominations weren't vetted. He may hold the record for most promises broke in the first four weeks of the Presidency.

I know it's been only four weeks, by my pitch fork is ready to march on Washington. I don't like the direction my country is headed, and polls show a majority of Americans don't support the government's efforts to stimulate the economy. It should have been a cake walk for Obama and the Democrats to push through the stimulus considering their majority; however, the voices of Americans heard on talk radio and in the blogosphere alerted America to the pork and massive government growth. Why wouldn't Dear Leader want this gone? He make say it, but I look for something to come about, even it it's not officially called the Fairness Doctrine. I'm not letting my guard down, and neither should you.

Obama's $30,000+ Bailout For Each Foreclosed Homeowner: The Greed of the Lower Middle amd Working Class Americans

I am tired of hearing about the greed of the achievers in this country. There is a class of people who are just as greedy in this country, and their greed may be the cause of the American dream becoming American tax bondage. We are talking about those people too greedy, wanting what they couldn't afford, to live within their means--the same people who bought houses knowing their incomes weren't capable of meeting the the monthly payment for the homes.

Should we place the all of the blame on these people? Of course not, but there should be guilt directed their way; after all, everyone wants to own a house in the United States. With ownership comes responsibility before and after the closing. The real blame goes to Democrats like Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd, who pushed the Community Rejuvenation Act, which placed pressure on lenders to provide loans to money to people who couldn't afford the houses in the first place. We can't let the pressure off those who signed. They knew darn well the monthly mortgage payment was beyond their means.

It's the greed of these people, the lower middle class and the working class, which just cost tax payers $275 billion. Nine million people will qualify for the Obama's mortgage bailout plan, which means just over $30,000 of government assistance for each these people with behind mortgages. Add the mortgage bailout plan with the bank bailouts, the auto (UAW) bailout, and the stimulus package, it we can quickly see buying a house might be tough for future generations of Americans once the credit dries up. That's right, the greed of these people to buy homes they couldn't afford may have just cost many responsible Americans their opportunity to buy homes in the future. Thanks to Obama, there is no guilt, just more rewards for those who don't deserve it. The Obamanation is the welfare nation. We shouldn't be surprised; after all, he told Joe the Plumber. Asking for the government to save you from your financial mistakes and ignoring the ultimate cost to the nation is greed. It's me, me, me greed.

We are up to nearly $2 trillion dollars in spending to save what shouldn't be saved. No one cares about the next generations of Americans who will face the reality of immaturity, irresponsibilities, and obvious racially driven
