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.

Lurking behind the green door of the New York Times editorial board is a green memo calling for a ban on the term global warming.   Apparently the staffers of this failed news organization have learned from polling data that the general public considers global warming to be a farce, ranking 20^th out of a list of 20 voter concerns.

This should come as no surprise to any of us who have common sense, or lived through the last winter which was the coldest in a century.   But to the Birkenstock clad liberals, this truly does upset their twisted world view. 

Apparently the general public is beginning to understand that the global warming hoax, which while synonymous with climate change and environmentalism,  has nothing to do with saving the planet and everything to do with increasing taxes, redistributing our wealth and giving the government more power.    

So what’s a biased organization like the Times to do? Pass out a green memo with new code words to use in public.   They will now be speaking of saving money for a more prosperous future instead of mentioning cap and trade, which by the way will be the largest tax in history.   Instead of talking of the environment they will refer to the air we breathe and the water our children drink.  It will just bring tears to the eyes of the Obama electorate.  

The reality is that this type of game playing is part and parcel to the liberal ideology where special interests take precedence over intellectually honest debate.   The inherent problem with liberalism is that everything they stand for is based upon flawed logic, be it their position on coddling criminals, worshiping gay marriage, welcoming illegal aliens, embracing terrorists or marching with NAMBLA. There is absolutely nothing in the realm of liberalism that has any semblance of common sense which is why everything they stand for must be enacted by judicial fiat rather than the vote of the people. 

The bottom line is that we all understand our obligation to be good stewards of God’s creations, be it the forests, the seas or the children put on this earth.   Perhaps if liberals shared the same concerns we'd give credence to their push for environmentalism but the reality of their worldview is eerily similar to what we have seen in dictatorships around the world; do as I say not as a I do, which would explain the liberal propensity to fly private jets around the globe while preaching lies about the changing climate. 

Perhaps now is the time to tell the Times and all their liberal allies that we have caught onto their little charade.   We know that their level of caring for the environment ranks right up there with their wanting to give the productive amongst us a tax cut.   We understand that while they speak of equality the truth is that they put the rights of killers above killed chilren.   At every turn we come across another example of liberal hypocrisy where they do as they please to placate the dumb masses and then turn around and do something else to punish those of us who work hard.

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?

Senior White House Advisor David Axelrod said yesterday that the tea party movement is unhealthy, while fellow liberal James Carville called it damaging to Republicans.   They expressed confusion of their misguided notion that 95% of Americans just received a tax cut.

Perhaps I can help set the record straight.   First, the tea party movement is not only healthy but it is a necessity in a day and age when government seeks to usurp more of our liberties and rights.   Denouncing the tea party movement shows the true disdain liberals have for freedom of speech and expression. Just as the tea party was needed in the years preceeding the Revolution, it is needed now, for now, like then, we are facing taxation without representation. 

Sure, we may have representatives in Washington but do they represent us. Does spending money on studying pig flatulence and building bridges to nowhere reflect good stewardship of the money they steal out of our paychecks each week? The answer is no.   Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid represent a growing underclass of unproductive citizens that are needed for votes; nothing more, nothing less. 

The political class in Washington is what is fueling the fires in the tea party movement.   The blatant disregard for the will of the taxpaying public is why thousands showed up in protest.   The liberal politicians hatred of you and I is precisely why Governor Rick Perry suggested that Texas may secede.  

While secession may not be the answer now, it is certainly an option that all states should keep on the table if America ceases to be America.   If capitalism is replaced with socialism and freedom replaced with censorship, such as the bans on free speech and guns proposed by liberals, then alternative means to overcoming such un-American behavior must be examined.  

Face it, our nation would be better off without places like Seattle or San Francisco.   For the most part, the population east of the Hudson and West of the Sierras is why we are in the mess we are in today. Without the votes from those regions there would be no B. Hussein Obama in the White House and Congress would be overwhelmingly dominated by conservatives who reflect real American values. 

Ridiculous ideas such as gay marriage, appeasement of terrorists or the welcoming of illegal criminals would be met with looks of scorn, as they should be.   Coddling criminals and marching with NAMBLA would likely net someone a jail sentence themselves.  

Is there any plain in the world of liberalism where hypocrisy doesn’t exist?   Take the meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus with Cuban thug Fidel Castro.   Aside from the black caucus being the epitome of hypocrisy (what if we had a Congressional White Caucus) these people have no shame whatsoever in dealing with rogue foreign leaders.

California communist Barbara Lee called Castro warm and receptive. Fellow communist Bobby Rush (D-IL) said the visit with Castro was like listening to an old friend.   Wow, I wonder what kind of praise he’d heap on other liberal idols such as Hitler, Lenin or Marx? 

Making matters even worse, fellow black caucus member Laura Richardson (D-CA) said that many of her own peeps live in conditions far more squalid than what she witnessed while visiting the despotic island nation where poverty is the norm.   This would the same Laura Richardson whose house was foreclosed upon when she didn’t bother to pay the mortgage company.   What I’d like to know is how someone so irresponsible and obviously stupid can get elected to office. Well then again, these same people just elected Obama. 

I wonder what the Congressional Black Caucus thinks of North Korean gargoyle Kim Jong Il launching a missile capable of delivering a nuke to the west coast? Hmmm, my guess is if this nuke could reach Alabama they’d be all for it. Remember, this cast of characters hates real Americans; especially if you just so happen to be white and live in the south (the last bastion of sanity in America).

Speaking of insanity, the Vermont legislature has voted to allow Neil to marry Bob.   According to the Vermont Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin, "You cannot veto love and commitment between two people," the Democrat said.  That’s right; it’s a free for all in the world of marriage. Fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, man and dog, woman and horse.   Whatever you want, at least in the crazy and confused world of liberal derangement syndrome.  Well almost anything, as I am sure Vermont is first on the list to ban marriage between a man and a woman…unless they so happen to be related. 

Is there anyone in the mainstream media that doesn’t get downright orgasmic when talking of their messiah and his trip to Europe and the Middle East where he kowtowed with cowardly western European socialists and then declared an unholy alliance with the terrorist leaders who seek to annihilate all non Muslims? Isn't the purpose of the press to provide Americans with facts or are we relegated from getting those from People Magazine and Entertainment Tonight? Maybe the alphabet networks should just roll out a red carpet for some suicide bombers being freed from Club Gitmo to have their way yet again on our soil. 

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. 

If you had any doubt as to whether Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is a kook that doubt should be erased today.    With the mere suggestion that government have the right to seize private business on a whim Geithner has gone from a simple tax cheat to a fascist who should be immediately removed from office and charged with Treason. Yes, suggesting government takeovers is tantamount to a Stalinist tactic which by its very nature is un-American and seditious. 

Of course nobody in the mainstream media is commenting on this because they would have egg on their face.   The mere suggestion that Obama and his cohorts were Marxists was met with jeers and scowls just months ago, but once again it is another “I told you so moment”.

In a recent poll 39% of Americans believe that America is becoming socialist, 36% don’t.   I guess the rest are too busy watching American Idiot or Dancing with the Tards to have an opinion.   So let’s go with 39%, nearly 4 in 10.   If you don’t think that’s a lot consider it’s about the same number that Bill Clinton got when he was elected to office.  

Take this one step further and consider that these 39% are obviously the intelligent and successful amongst us who have skin in the game.   These are the people who work for a living, own businesses and control the majority of wealth in this country.   In other words, these are the members of the non political class who wield the power that government is trying to usurp. 

Folks, this is how electoral revolution’s start.   This type of ground swell will gain momentum even in the face of a hostile mainstream media that wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them between the eyes.   The current level of anger among those of us who are successful could result in a revolt at the ballot box like none ever seen in the history of our Republic, especially if the terrorists that our elected leaders like to coddle decide to strike at our homeland again. 

To sum up the disaster in Washington would take pages.   To put it bluntly this administration has achieved what no other has ever done; they have failed in the first 100 days.   Those of us with IQ’s over 80 knew that Obama was woefully inexperienced and that is showing through in everything from his going back on campaign promises to the filling of cabinet positions with Clintonistas.  

Crime, corruption and graft are polluting Congress as the mainstream media bats a blind eye.  Yes, stealing from our children in the name of special interests is a crime.  The Speaker of the House, third in line to inherit the throne, is proving to be the biggest political failure in history, making even Jimmy Carter look like a genius. 

Over at the Senate, Harry Reid is jockeying to take the title of incompetence away from Speaker Pelosi in quite impressive fashion.  

The GOP has an opportunity to seize this moment, but they need to do it in visible fashion. They need to make a public spectacle of every aspect of the nanny state agenda being proposed by liberals. They need to not only make a spectacle of it, but make fun of it. The liberal lunacy should be mocked for just how pathetic it is. In fact we all should be mocking our liberal friends to enlighten them to just how dumb they truly are if they are supporting this seditious socialist ideology.  

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. 

The public is upset at AIG execs receiving $165 million in bonuses.   Not to minimize this, but what about the $20 billion dollars, an amount that dwarfs these bonuses, which was paid by AIG to foreign banks?   Does that not matter, or is it something that liberals think won’t rile up the public?

 According to records from the TARP bailout these bonuses were used to retain employees and were part of employment contracts. Given this being the case, shouldn't this current outrage have occurred back in September when the bailout occurred? Then again, it’s probably taken Congress that long to read what they actually voted on.  

Even more irritating is that Turbo Tax Tim Geithner was involved in much of what transpired between AIG and the feds.   He was well aware of these bonuses, as well as the billions of dollars in bailout money going to foreign banks.   He did nothing, kind of like he did when it came time to pay his taxes.  

Then there is Obama himself, a recipient of an AIG bonus amounting to $101,332, in the form of a campaign contribution.   Perhaps this explains his crocodile tears when his teleprompter tells him to feign anger at this latest AIG exploit.  

Mind you, Obama was not alone, as Chris Dodd also received thousands of dollars in bonuses for his campaign.   Of course, if it wasn’t for his lack of oversight when it came to Fannie and Freddie, nobody would be in this mess and our homes would be worth about 50% more than their current value. But hey, we wouldn’t want the mainstream media to report the truth now would we .  

Whiel this entire situation is a mess, perhaps these bonuses will be enough to rile up the public, who for the most part expresses anger based upon their own class envy.   If there is any silver lining it is that these bonuses may be the straw that breaks the bailout camel’s back.   That would be a good thing. 

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.
