Random Thoughts from a Real American

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?

Yes, we can sum up his first 100 days in four words, well it’s four without the expletives; complete and utter failure. This guy isn’t fit to be a Wal-Mart greeter let alone let alone leader of the once free world.

God, Guts, Guns.........and Pansies

 

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 21st 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.

Government Makes Obscene Profits on Gas

 

Government Makes Obscene Profits on Gasoline

I just returned from Los Angeles where gasoline is routinely $4.00 dollars a gallon. Of course, this is rather expensive, although when adjusted for inflation is not the most expensive gas in history which occurred during the Jimmy Carter debacle. Yes, another factoid that liberals don't want to share with the dumb and the uninformed.

Did you know that the government profit on a gallon of gas in Los Angeles is $.71 cents? Yes, for doing absolutely nothing but sitting on their unaccountable asses, the federal, state and local governments get immense profits to waste on worthless government programs. I find it amazing that the government has the nerve to chastise Big Oil who nets a profit of only $.09 cents a gallon, much of which is reinvested into oil exploration.

In yet another inconvenient truth, it turns out that the government makes a profit that is nearly 8 times greater than the companies that actually bring the oil to our local filling stations. Perhaps it is time for government to look at their own obscene profits and understand that we could have an immediate reduction in gasoline prices if they would reduce, or better yet eliminate, fuel taxes.

As prices continue to rise in other consumer goods, one has to wonder how much of an impact the gas price is playing. Certainly it is costing more to transport goods and to provide services. This is largely the result of rising fuel costs. If the government ceased their practice of stealing an amount equal to nearly 20% of a gallon of gas, wouldn't it make sense that other consumer goods would fall by a similar amount? Perhaps rather than blaming Big Oil for this problem they should take a long hard look in the mirror as once again government is proving to be the majority of the problem.

Then again, this is nothing new. Government is an inherently inept bureaucracy filled with unaccountable employees who could never find a job in the private sector. If you don't believe, take a drive down to your local DMV or drive through a neighborhood government housing project and consider that this is exactly what our healthcare system will look like if we ever enact socialized medicine.

Yes, government is a disaster of epic proportions, especially at the federal level. Perhaps it is time to ask how many government employees we could do without? Is it 20%, 30%, 50% of the workforce? Aside from the military, is there really any need for any federal government? We have wasteful bureaucracies ranging from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Education. We have an unaccountable postal service that would be more efficient and effective if it were outsourced to the private sector. In all, we have over 44,000 federal programs that are basically nothing more than a waste of everyone's time and money and in reality benefit only a very few constituents that comprise the voting base of the moveon.org Democrat Party.

Ah-ha, now we are onto something. Democrat Party, voting base, constituents and entitlements. Gee, imagine that; an entire federal government that has been designed to buy votes from the nanny state entitlement class. Once again, the truth has been revealed and at its rotten core lies yet more of the liberal agenda that seeks to do nothing but steal more of what is ours and give it to those who are too damn lazy to get a job. So the next time B. Hussein Obama rambles on about change, give some consideration to the type of change he is talking about as it undoubtedly means stealing more from us to give to his nanny state constituents.
