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.

Since nobody is actually taking B. Hussein Obama seriously anymore I guess it is only appropriate that he accepted an invitation to be a guest of Jay Leno’s; another celebrity that nobody takes seriously either.      If Obama was Pinocchio his nose would have been three feet long after denying knowledge, and expressing outrage, over the AIG bonuses.  

It’s no secret that not only did Obama know about the bonuses, but as the elected leader he condoned these bonuses; not to mention accepting his very own six figure bonus from the failed financial giant in the form of a campaign contribution. 

Perhaps Obama should have shown similar outrage over the 9000 earmarks that were stuck in the most recent spending bill.   Given the billions upon billions spent on butterfly farms, hybrid blueberries and candy flavored condoms these AIG bonuses as a pittance.  

Folks, the problem is not the bonuses but rather the collusion, lying and orchestrated maneuvering by the government, in particular Chris “Fannie and Freddie and just fine” Dodd and Turbo Tax Timmy that allowed this to happen in the first place.  And now the government has the gall to actually express outrage at what they condoned in the first place! Perhaps if these liberal idiots would read the legislation that they are passing then all of this, and other outrages most certainly coming down the pike, could be avoided.   But no, they are liberals where fact, logic and common sense are as evil as enforcing immigration laws and questioning Islamic fascists. 

This entire administration has turned into one laughable joke in less than 100 days.   They are proving to be liars who hold themselves to be above the law in a nation that has turned into a banana republic.   They are using Congressional power to steal money and assets that is not theirs.   Don’t get me wrong, I am not condoning the bonuses that were given but to use government power to steal that money back is not only illegal, but it is an egregious act of abuse the likes not seen since Nazi Germany. Bottom line, if they didn’t want the bonuses given then they should have done something about them back in September rather than waiting until it was politically expedient. 

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.
