The RINO is out of the closet

 

The RINO is finally out of the closet…well at least one of them. Most Americans have long understood that Arlen Specter was not really a Republican and certainly was not a conservative. His voting record is littered with nanny state programs and my guess is he probably voted for the messiah himself.  

Certainly losing a Republican in the Senate is not good, if that person were a Republican. Remember, the magic number to overcome filibusters is 60.   Democrats now have 60, but the reality is that they had 60 before because Specter overwhelmingly voted with his pals across the aisle. 

What needs to happen now is for Democrats to push their agenda and push it hard.   They need to diligently work to silence free speech and the right to defend your loved ones from criminals. They need to openly admit their admiration of terrorists and loathing of  real American values.   Now that they have what their leaders will consider to be a mandate it is time that they officially declare war on family values, national defense and God.   I’d add in capitalism but that war started with the election of Obama. 

By showing their true colors perhaps Americans will begin to realize the error of their ways.   They will begin to see the disdain that liberals have towards the values upon which our nation was founded.   Economic freedom and individual liberty will be kicked to the curb with their onslaught of nanny state entitlement programs designed to do nothing more than buy votes.    As Specter joins the party of the entitlement class (read the unproductive wastes on our society) he will get to witness firsthand how they react at getting more handouts which is no different than a junkie getting their next fix.

Certainly losing Arlen Specter is not a loss in the long run as it gives Republicans a chance to become the vocal minority who can do nothing more than sit idly by and watch the filibuster proof Senate degrade and demean America and our values.    But it is critical that they seize upon this moment. They need to make a national spectacle out of each and every un-American issue brought to the floor by Democrats.

From bailouts to amnesty for criminal aliens, the GOP has a golden opportunity to expose Democrats and their Marxist/socialist ideals.   From gay marriage to coddling felons the few conservatives left in Washington need to make a mockery of anything and everything that liberals stand for because those values are exactly why we are in the pickle we are in today. 

Conservatives need to set forth a new Contract with America that calls for the resurrecting of the land that liberals have destroyed.   It can contain ten simple items that will instantly expose the failed ideology of liberalism.  

1.       Make English the official language

2.       Build a fence and build it now. 

3.       All free healthcare, welfare and education for illegal’s and their children is hereby terminated. If you don’t like it, leave. 

4.       Become energy self sufficient by drilling here and drilling now.   ANWR and the coasts are fair game and when people realize that gas will be a buck a gallon they’ll quickly jump on board.

5.       Create fairness in education with tuition tax vouchers and use the competition to put the insidious teachers union out of business. 

6.       Pass the Fair Tax and abolish the income tax and the IRS.   It’s a no brainer and if you don’t agree then you obviously haven’t read the book.   www.fairtax.org …learning it, know it, live it.

7.       Make people pass a test for the right to vote.   You have to pass a test to drive, for graduate and for many professions…all with far less consequences than a negligently cast ballot.  

8.       Impose a five year moratorium on the hiring of all non-military federal personnel.   It probably won’t be long enough to get rid of the bureaucratic disaster liberals have created but it will be a start.

9.       Declare a war on bailouts! Never again should we be using our tax dollars to support those who can’t support themselves.   If a company fails let it fail. 

10.   Outlaw political correctness and impose lengthy jail sentences on those who dare to try and violate our right to free speech. 

It’s amazing how simple fixing this country could be if our elected leaders would just do their job.

Guns 'N God

 

Guns 'N God

I am beginning to think that it will take B. Hussein Obama personally flying a jet into a tall building before Americans truly understand how dangerous this terrorist sympathizing socialist really is. Equally as dangerous are the sheep who actually drink his kool aid about “hope” and “change”. I guess if his entire following consisted of DMV employees and housing project residents it would be somewhat understandable, but sadly that is not the case.

Most recently he said of his inability to garner support from the white working class, “It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” Like a typical elitist liberal, this guy is once again showing his complete lack of understanding of the plight of Real Americans or the devastating impact his Marxist ideology would have upon our society.

Obama clearly fails to realize that the reason Americans cling to their guns is out of fear of government, as this will provide the last line of defense as government seeks to silence the masses while stealing more of our property to redistribute to the entitlement class. He clearly lacks the intellectual wherewithal to realize that gun ownership is largely the result of increasing crime against law abiding citizens by the criminal class who are coddled and emboldened by liberals.

When it comes to religion, Obama has about as much credibility as Teddy Kennedy at an AA meeting. We have witnessed his pastor's incendiary hate filled rhetoric and the black liberation theology to which Obama seemingly prescribes.

As for people who aren't like us, who is; unless you so happen to have an identical twin. Like most liberals, Obama would like the public to believe that all whites are anti-immigrant while failing to realize that all whites in this nation are descendant's of immigrants. Hey dummy, it's not the immigrants that we are against, it's the illegal aliens who broke the laws to get here and then refuse to speak our language or assimilate to our culture.

To put it mildly, B. Hussein Obama poses no less of a danger to our nation than the Islamic fascists who seek enjoyment as they hack off the heads of infidels while extolling the virtues of some bastardized version of the so call religion of peace. He poses no less of a danger than the millions of illegals who come into our nation every year and then murder, rape and rob hard working Americans. He poses no less of a danger than the pedophile down the street, the rapist laying in wait or the street gang who kill kids on the playground in a drive by gone amiss. Simply put, he is the danger, as he and his ilk enable and encourage all of the aforementioned atrocities commited by those who seek to bring harm to our nation, our freedom and our way of life. If you don't yet understand this, then you too are part of the problem.

There is certainly more to come out on Obama, but understand that the mainstream media will put a muzzle on anything they can. How many Americans realize that Obama is friendly with domestic terrorist William Ayers, who wrought havoc across America as his Weather Underground blew up numerous government buildings and said, “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution, kill your parents, that's where it's really at.”

If there were a connection between John McCain and this terrorist, it would be a front page headline and McCain would have already withdrawn from the race. But it's not, it's a connection between Obama and a homegrown terrorist of the same mold as Tim McVeigh. Perhaps its time that we all work to educate our family, friends and neighbors about the real B. Hussein Obama before it is too late and the only thing that will save us will be our guns and our God.

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.
