I read yesterday that the current Obama induced deficit and future interest will amount to approximately $10 trillion dollars, which is roughly $50,000 per tax paying American.   Rather than waste all this money, perhaps the government should give the money directly to the tax payers.  

Congress needs to pass the Common Sense for America Act and provide a one time payment of $50,000 to everyone who paid taxes in 2008.   If you didn’t pay taxes you get nothing! Sorry, but you gotta pay to play this game.   

The conditions of the payment are that each recipient purchase one American vehicle, pay off their credit card debt and then use the rest to purchase whatever they so desire.   My guess is that this would do far more to stimulate the economy than the eight dollar pittance Obama returned to Americans under the guise of a tax cut.

Perhaps the Republican Party can use the Common Sense for America Act to highlight what has gone so wrong since Democrats took over.   It can be a bully pulpit to expose the true agenda of the left who seek to silence free speech with the incidious fairness doctrine or tax away our right to defend our loved ones with bills designed to eliminate the right to purchase ammunition.   

The fact of the matter is that common sense does still exist in America, it just doesn’t’ exist inside the beltway where terrorists, murderers and pedophiles have more rights than innocent children and Christian Americans. 

My guess is that a Common Sense for America Act could single handedly undo the liberal agenda for a generation.   It would reflect the values held by Americans who believe in God, family values, economic freedom and individual liberty; you know the values held by the founders of our nation.  

It is time that we all band together and demand that the Congress which claims to represent the people do something for the people of this country, rather than bowing at the altar of those who seek to destroy us.   

The Oklahoma legislature has voted to declare sovereignty under the 10^th Amendment to the Constitution.   This comes just weeks after Texas governor Rick Perry made the same declaration of his state’s right to secede.  Given our nation is no more as the result of northeast and west coast liberals, it is time that we wholeheartedly support the efforts of those who strive for economic freedom and individual liberty.  All I can say is that I am glad that Texas and Oklahoma have a lot of open space because they should expect a huge influx of people if they can pull this off.  I've got a call into Allied Van Lines today!

While common sense seems to prevail in the south central portion of America, the idiots in the nation of New England are at it again with Maine and New Hampshire getting ready to permit gay marriage. Mind you, this was done with legislative fiat without the vote of the people. My guess is if the people had their say so, which they won’t, they would do precisely what Californians did last year and defeat the nonsensical notion that marriage is anything other than the way God intended; between man and woman. 

The number of unemployed is up yet again. Guess this stimulus package is really working wonders on the economy.   Hey, at least the welfare rolls continue to grow which should ensure Democrats another good round of elections.   Did you ever wonder what our Congress would look like if only tax paying Americans were permitted to vote? 

Have you heard that 6 of the 9 new board members on Chrysler will either be government or union appointees? Considering liberals and unions have destroyed our schools, forced manufacturing overseas and undermined free enterprise I give the company six months to die a slow and miserable death under the guidance of the truly incompetent.  Ditto for GM which is really nothing more than a health care administrator that just so happens to make some cars on the side.  

Rather than throwing good money after bad what if the government were to give money only to those who paid taxes.   No more money to GM, AIG or ACORN. No more money to illegal aliens or terrorists. With 140 million tax payers, the government could give every one of them 100,000 dollars which equals about 14 trillion in total expenditure. Given the trillions already spent, this is actually doable.   Let Americans decide what to do with the money with the stipulation that at least 50% must go to paying down debt and 25% going to purchasing of products made in America. There’s no doubt in my mind this would result in the greatest period of economic growth since the days of Ronald Reagan.  

Of course this won’t happen because we all know that of the 140 million Americans that pay taxes most are conservative and government handouts are all about buying Democrat votes which come from the uneducated and uninformed.   So rather than get our nation on track, the liberals in Washington would rather have us wallow in economic misery just as long as they have their jobs…oh yes and their AIG backed pensions. 

Isn’t it amazing how common sense can fix everything? I think someone once wrote a book about it. Maybe it’s time for a 2009 version because it is greatly lacking inside the beltway.

More than forty years after Ted Kennedy waterboarded Mary Jo Kopechne liberals are finally upset at the use of this interrogation tactic.

Obama burned more than 9000 gallons of fuel on Earth Day.

California is thinking of convening a Constitutional Convention to alter the framework of that state…in no particular order the Amendments will call for legalizing illegal aliens, banning free speech, prohibiting the use of guns by any non felon, outlawing marriage between a man and woman, banning fireplaces, grilles and campfires and expressly prohibiting the use of private schools or any establishment of religion.  

Liberals have sunk to a new low with their seeking to prosecute former administration officials for using “harsh” interrogation tactics to keep our nation safe.   Never mind there hasn’t been another terrorist attack on our homeland since 9/11.   Remember, with them it’s all about putting ideology over national security.   Now that the terrorists know we won’t lay a hand on them one can only imagine the mayhem they are conjuring up in their caves.

Have you taken the time to ask your liberal friends why they hate our country so much?

Down under, the prime minister is suggesting that Australia is a Christian nation where terrorists aren’t welcome.   Don’t fret, Obama has already rolled the welcome mat out here.   I’m sure he’ll even throw in a Koran or two. 

In a poll by Real Clear Politics, VP Joe Biden is less popular than former VP Dick Cheney.   Betcha don’t hear about that on the evening news.   But all is not lost as the young, the dumb and the uninformed still support the Messiah. He even has support of 24% of Republicans, showing that idiocy transcends  party lines. 

GE shareholders are outraged at the bias shown by subsidiary MSNBC.   I don’t know why they’d care as nobody even watches the network that is perennially  in the basement of cable news ratings largely as a result of their anti-American left wing bias. 

Why is it that Fox News continually wins the cable news ratings? For those of you educated by the government, that was a rhetorical question. 

Now that tax day has come and gone does anyone know if Timothy Geithner paid his taxes?

Obama is scheduling yet another prime time news conference.   I wonder if he is going to apologize for all the apologies he has given on behalf of America?

The White House in their never ending quest to pacify terrorists has released classified documents describing in detail the interrogation methods used against Islamic fascists.   After I laughed myself silly at what emasculated liberals describe as torture I came to the stark realization that my dog may get worse treatment when he steals food off the kitchen counter. 

First is the insult slap, designed to induce shock or surprise. This is followed by a facial grasp, where open palms are used to hold the terrorists face in place.   I’m not sure what happens when he spits at the interrogator but I sure hope that a quick knee between the legs gets his attention.  

Next is the attention grasp where the terrorist is grabbed on each side of the collar bone, sort of like parents do to their kids when they don’t listen.   Then comes “walling” where the criminal is pushed into a taxpayer funded flexible wall because our government feels that the real walls just aren’t good enough.   I’m quite sure that the brick and mortar down at Club Gitmo, also paid for with our tax dollars, would work just fine to draw some blood. 

Some terrorists have been confined to cramped places that are “usually dark” while others were put into boxes with harmless insects.   Oh, the travesty.   These criminals, whose own version of interrogation involves hacking off limbs while extolling the virtues of Islam were also put into stress positions where they had to kneel on the floor and lean back at a 45 degree angle.   Now that strikes me as a great position for putting a boot to Habib’s chin and knocking out some teeth. 

It gets even worse in the eyes of liberals who are forlorn at the idea of an Islamic fascist being deprived of sleep. Liberals say nary a word when these goons fly airplanes into tall buildings but all hell breaks loose of they are deprived of a good round of shuteye. 

Of course the king of all torture methods used by our stellar intelligence operatives is “waterboarding” which involves laying the terrorist on a board and placing a wet cloth over his nose and mouth creating the perception of drowning.   Wouldn’t it just make sense to save time and money by just drowning them for real instead of buying them prayer rugs and Koran’s? 

So once again, we are witnessing the leader of the free world capitulating to the sworn enemies of America, be they domesticated liberals or foreign fascists.   Mind you, I am sure that the Taliban isn’t spending a lot of time worrying about how to be gentle to the POW’s sitting in their caves and certainly our being pansies isn’t going to get them to do the same. 

I’m really not sure when we forgot how to win wars, but in this one we have a distinct advantage. We are facing an enemy that operates under no flag and therefore is not entitled to Geneva Convention Protections.   These enemies are human trash and need to be treated as such.   We need to use any means possible to extract information, up to and including ending their miserable existence.   

According to a new Pew Research poll 88% of Democrats approve of the job Obama is doing while pretending to be president.   Only 27% of Republicans feel the same way.   The idiocy among Democrats should come as no surprise, because well…they are Democrats. Besides, being an idiot is a key indicator of being afflicted by liberalism.   

The significance of this margin is that it is the most polarized in the history of presidential polling coming in a day and age of a president who called for bipartisanship.   The hard and fast truth is that there was never any intention for bipartisanship other than shutting the other side up with Constitutional abuses such as the Fairness Doctrine and an all out assault on our right to defend ourselves from the very government that is usurping our rights on a daily basis. 

Obama’s bipartisan rhetoric is on par with Hugo Chavez airing Radio Free Venezuela.   The fact is that Obama has achieved failure faster than any president in history.   His administration is riddled with tax cheats who see the only salvation to our problems as government when the reality is that government is the cause of every problem facing us today.  

Without government interference in the housing market, our homes would be worth double their current value.   Without government interference and special interest union thuggery we would have no trade deficit and would still be a manufacturing behemoth.   Without government condoned child abuse our schools would actually be able to produce productive citizens.   Without government sanctioned racism, such as affirmative action,  there would be no racism in our nation. 

Is there anything the government does right? Sometimes we drop a bomb on a terrorist, but besides that they ride the short bus in everything they do.   If you don’t believe me, pay a visit to a housing project or VA Hospital.   Perhaps now is the time for government to back off but that is not part of the Obama template where greed and corruption are the norm. 

Making matters worse are those running Congress.   Nancy Pelosi is undoubtedly the most incompetent Speaker of the House in history.   Harry Reid clearly has this same distinction in the Senate. Yet Democrats don’t get it. They actually think that this caste of incompetent boobs is helping our nation.   Maybe when unemployment hits 10%, which it will, Democrats will start to wake up. 

According to Reuters the Obama administration has dropped the term “war on terror” from its lexicon. Secretary of State, Mrs. Bill Clinton said, "The (Obama) administration has stopped using the phrase and I think that speaks for itself. Obviously." Yes, obviously this caste of incompetent buffoons has not a clue that the greatest threat to freedom (aside from Obama) are Islamic fascists. This comes on the heels of Obama closing down Club Gitmo and seeking to bring our sworn enemy to the United States where they will undoubtedly be freed into a city near you. 

To put this in perspective, these actions would be like FDR saying that Hitler wasn’t such a bad fellow and freeing all the Nazis from post WWII tribunals. Perhaps the current administration doesn’t care about the slaughter of innocent Americans but I think there are more than a few of us true Americans out there that recognize the dangers posed by Islamic fascism which is precisely why we must win the war on terror at any cost.

This action comes on the heels of Obama demanding that Rick Wagonner, CEO of General Motors resign. Excuse me but what right does a sitting president have to abuse his power to this extent? This is kind of like Hugo Chavez marching his thugs into private industry in Venezuela and demanding a change in management. In fact it’s more than kind of like, it is exactly like. This action in and of itself shows that Obama is a Marxist, which I have been predicting were his true colors since day one of his campaign to overthrow freedom. 

What’s next? Obama doesn’t like what Fox News has to say so he fires all the talking heads and puts perky little Katie on the air for 24/7?   Maybe he doesn’t like the person running your business so he’ll fire you as well.   Anyone not seeing the dangerous precedent being set by these Un-American actions surely has an incurable case of liberal derangement syndrome.  

The only constant in the Obama administration is proving to be failure; be it on the economic front, on the policy front or on the paying your taxes on time front.   These people have to go at any cost. They actually make the war on terror look like a walk in the park. Let’s clarify, that would be the war on Islamic terror.   As Americans we are now fighting a war on economic terror that is being waged against us by our very own administration who seeks to undermine our nation at any cost. 

God, Guts, Guns……..and Pansies

 Why is it so hard for liberals to understand what made America great?  Going back to the infancy of our nation, Real Americans (you know, those who aren't emasculated bed wetting liberals) have viewed our place as the leaders of the free world as manifest destiny.   Never before has a nation achieved so much in so little time on the sweat of those who had little to speak of but a burning desire for freedom with the only impediment to success being the scourge of liberalism. 

 Our nation was borne of the frustration of big government that raped and pillaged at will.  They silenced free speech, stole private property and enforced their will on the masses who turned out to be nothing more than sheep.   If this sounds familiar, it should.   The year may have been 1773, but it also could have been any of the couple hundred years between then and today, where the sheep still flock to their messianic leader with promises of more nanny state entitlements. 

 Truth be known, the majority of colonists did not support the out of touch visions of such radicals as Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington or Samuel Adams.   They viewed those who spoke of freedom, liberty and rugged individualism with as much disdain as liberals today have for General Petraeus, George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Joe Arpaio or Tom Tancredo who all share a burning desire for preservation of our Constitutional rights from the continued assault being waged by the anti-American left. 

 Were it not for guns, our small militia never would have found a way to win at Saratoga or Trenton.  Were it not for guts, Thomas Payne never would have written Common Sense.   Were it not for God, Thomas Jefferson never would have had the inspiration to pen the Declaration of Independence.   Were it not for pansies, Barack Obama would not be a serious presidential candidate today.  

 Many say that we have become a disgrace; a worthless nanny state on its way to the economic hell known as socialism.   We have a nation of pansies who preach hatred of capitalism and success while bowing at the alter of failure, defeat, class warfare and racism because they know no better.  

 I beg to differ, as there are millions who do understand our plight.   Sadly, the millions who do understand make up barely a majority of Americans, and should even some of those stay home on election day, we could put in place a president who will inevitably be the 21^st century of Jimmy Carter; in other words a failure of epic proportions.  

 It’s important to remember that most of the colonists were against the revolution.  My guess is that they were most often the stupid, the uninformed or equally as bad those who desired the security of the nanny state imperialist government.  While times may have changed, people have not, as we still have the stupid and the uninformed in our midst who unfortunately are allowed to vote.  Worse yet, we have those who cling to the nanny state mentality, not realizing the implications their greed will have on our freedom and our economy.

Simply put, the upcoming election will be a gathering of those who love freedom and those who are merely sheep. There is time to educate the sheep, for if we fail in this simple duty, there will be no return as liberals lead us down the beaten path to hell, better known as socialism.
