Audacity of Politics

"I do not, gentlemen, trust you. If you possess the power, the abuse of it could not be checked; and what would prevent you from exercising it to our destruction."
Gunning Bedford


Our so called intelligent leaders will say and do anything to get elected/reelected or to push their progressive agenda on an unknowing and gullible public. Not only do they force laws , bills, and programs that we do not want or support down our throats, they lie about their agenda and its consequences and expect us to believe it. Sadly, many do.

Lets look at two of the bigger progressive lies touted during the campaign of 2008. In every speech Obama talked how the Iraq War was costing us 10 billion dollars a month. He would also say when asked about his energy how it would take no less than 10 years to bring any oil from offshore or ANWAR or anyplace else to make any difference and how it would take just as long for any new nuclear facilities. For some reason everyone took these statements as fact and failed to look objectively at them, just as they do all the time.

Take a look at the cost of the war and for the sake of argument that it was costing us 10 billion a month when he said it was, which was during the surge when there was more men, equipment, and supplies there. Tell me then how could presurge costs be just as expensive or postsurge. Some how that fuzzy math does not add up. Now lets question his stated cost. They have added every cost to the total, even those which would have been incurred no matter what. Our military personnel must still be fed, cared for, trained, and equipped even if they are not at war. War Ships will still be on cruises, planes will still be flying, and bullets and bombs would still be expended. So to add those things to your price is disingenuous.

Then you have the claim that we would never be able to extract oil in areas or build nuclear plants in less than ten years. Those folks that say that must not know their history. There is absolutely nothing this nation cannot do when our nation and our freedom is at stake. This is a nation went from peace to war and not just any war, the multi-front war that was previously unwinnable. After Pearl Harbor we put in a heroic effort and raised sunk ships and ships that should have taken months or even years to fix and fixed them within a couple of months and sailed into harms way. Our industrial might made ships in months, 100 tanks and plans a day. We not only supplied ourselves, but our allies as well. At this same time the Manhattan Project went from nothing to the first atomic weapon in less than five years.  This is the same nation that went to the moon in less than ten years.

So how dare they insult our national will and our national pride and our history by saying we can't do this. Then insult us even more by lauding just how they are going to bring renewable energy to fruition in less than ten years. Renewable energy that just is not feasible at this time. No matter how much propaganda they push, we need oil and will continue to need oil for quite some time in the future.

If they taut such bunk and expect us to believe and follow them, truly what do the think of us? How can any thinking person fall for such exaggerations and untruths. Just because and congressmen or a president says we can't doesn't make it so. They have an agenda to push, and if you look hard enough are getting campaign donations from opposing interests. Remember these are the same folks that has run our industry to other nations. What has congress or the president done lately? In the last three administrations and their corresponding congresses, where we have been ran by both parties, all they have accomplished is to earn the lowest approval ratings in history and to incur more deficit and debts than all those before them combined. They have done nothing but pander to special interest and ethnic/minority group for nothing more than reelection; they, none of them has done anything to restore this nation to the greatness it once boasted.

This nation and our people can overcome any adversity and survive any catastrophe without their help, or maybe I should say in spite of. And we will survive this national treason and destruction of our constitution that these politicians, who are more concerned over getting reelected than the survival of our nation, are pushing us toward. To do so we must return to those first principle our founding fathers gave us.

Sadly we are being force fed the progressive line by audacious politicians. Even sadder, we still follow and reelect them to office, just like the sheep we are.

My Hero

LtCol Alan West is my hero. He is plain spoken and not afraid to defend himself when he feels his honor has been disparaged by some "lady" that does not know the meaning of honor. This man has served his country and was willing to give his life for such ungrateful people such as Debbie Wasserman Schultz, so I believe he has also earned the right to plainly tell her what he thinks of her. If she don't like, maybe she shouldn't have as he said poked him in the chest.

Truth be told though, these folks aren't really mad over the words LtCol West spoke, its more that he spoke them. They have been so used to being able to say as they please without being challenged. The republican party was weak kneed and scared. They didn't want to be attacked by the news pundits so they took all the abuse. We have a new breed now though. A new breed who are unafraid to speak their minds and stand up for themselves as well as what they believe to be right. That is why they hate and attack Sarah Palin so much, because she is not afraid of them and they know that if they allow this to be seen it will grow and they will lose their message. What makes these liberals even madder, is when these defenses and outspoken critics come from what they perceive to be their own core constituency. Its ok to be against them if your just some "racist" whit guy, that's all republicans, but when these voices come from women like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman, or African-Americans like Alan West and Herman Cain, and even a Latino like Marco Rubio it drive them batty. Keep up the good work!!!

Weakness

Can't Obama see that he makes himself, and this country look weak and ineffective when he makes demands on these petty dictators only to be ignored. Keep your nose out of it if your not willing to do it yourself. He is starting to believe the hype about himself, that he is the one and all should do as he wants. Nobody told this to the rest of the world and they are laughing their behinds off at him and us. He does the same in political debates, like the recent debt ceiling, drawing lines in the sand that are too easily crossed. The only thing that saves him here is his opponents, the republicans are just as waffling, and the lamestream media won't point his out.


Holier Than Thou

I am so tired of these holier than thou feel good folks complaining out of one side of their mouth how our debates have become too partisan and the rhetoric is just too much, but in their next breath they are saying that they want to have grudge sex with Michelle Bachman or how stupid her or Sarah Palin is. This includes our fearless, or maybe feckless leader Obama. There just isn't any real news networks there to point this out.

I am here to tell you this next election will be the most vile and hateful in our history. The progressive have nothing to run on but bad, so they are going to do nothing but attack. It's all they have. They think this is going to be their "OK Corral" so they will pull out all stops. They think their movement is over if they don't win. They way they went after Sarah Palin will be child's play. This nominee will have it even worse, especially if they get their way and FOX News and News Corp is forced out of the way. That is the reason this is so hot in the news, it isn't the act, it is the progressives see they can get rid of their main opponent right before the big game. Never think for a second that it is for any other reason. Do you actually think these fake reporters who have sold their profession out cares that some phones got hacked. Please, if you do I have some ocean front property to sell you in Yuma, Arizona. So get ready for it. Don't expect the news to point this out, who do you think is going to be Obama's attack dogs are going to be. Fasten your seat belts and don't be fooled by their propaganda. Stay the course and take our country back.


Stupid and Selfish America

What is wrong with Americans today. We all know that government has a massive spending and debt problem that is so far out of control it will be our ruination if it is not pulled in. Yet when someone comes up with a plan, a real plan that will work to tackle the core issues of this problem, you cry and whine because it affects you. You get on TV and play right into the progressives playbook and say, "don't cut mine, tax the rich!" Really? That wouldn't help us one bit. Even if we did, the politicians would just spend even more. So that won't do, we must drastically reduce our spending and it will have to hit everyone. If we don't you are going to end up with nothing. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

Don't let us become the people who saved this world many times and who has been called "the world last, best hope," and who ultimately became the catalyst of the world's demise. As President Obama said, "We all must eat our peas." But that means everyone, not just the rich and republicans.


Run If You Think You Can

I encourage all candidates or potential ones to run if the want. If you think you have better ideas to offer this country then run. Don't let the pundits who know nothing tell you you can't win or even get the nomination. This life was not meant for those people. It was meant for those who went on and did it. I seem to remember some "Bubba" from Arkansas who didn't have a chance to beat President George HW Bush, at least that was what all the smart people said. Only thing is nobody told him.

Say what you want about President Bill Clinton, but he stood up and defied the odds. He said he was going ahead anyway, and he won. He didn't listen to all the pundits telling him he didn't have a chance. We also had another such man. He was told he shouldn't run against a sitting president for the nomination. He did, but he lost. Though four short years later in 1980 he became one of the best presidents our country has ever had.

So if you think you can be president and could help this country, but aren't running because you don't think you can beat Obama or 2016 will be better, then you don't deserve to be president. The American people deserves better and if you don't think you can win, then you are not it.

Terrible Tactics

                        
The republicans are not keeping their powder dry. In their battles with the president and the democrats they are letting their adversaries know just how far they are willing to go, before caving into their demands. They did this in the budget battle, and they are doing so again in this debt ceiling debacle. When your adversary already knows, because you have told them and every news outlet that you are only willing to go so far, in this case you will not let the country default, all they have to do is dig in and hold out until that time. Then they will get their way. just like when President Obama did in Iraq and Afghanistan, letting the insurgents and terrorist what we will and will not do, where we will and will not go, and when we are going to pull out. It is stupid to do such a thing in war, and almost as stupid to do so in political debate. Hey GOP, your suppose to steal an idea from your enemy when they have a good one, not a terrible one. How have we ever one a debate, let alone an election with behaviors like this. Nice tactics, NOT!!

Snippets

-How can the news get away with giving President Obama credit for calling for spending cuts. He has spent more in three years than any other president has ever dreamed. On top of has spending our money like a girl with her daddy's credit card, he wants more to spend and demanded a "clean bill" raising his spending limit. Yet here the news is giving their hero credit for calling for cuts in spending. While on the debt ceiling, why is these same news networks failing to point out that Senator Obama refused to raise the debt ceiling for President Bush. If they were real reporters or the roles were reversed, they would never fail to point that fact out.
-There were reports last week of chlorine gas being used in Sadr City, Iraq. Could this be part of Saddam's elusive stockpile of chemical weapons beginning to surface? And yes people chemical weapons are WMD's.

-It is totally crazy how President Obama gets a free pass from the press on everything. They won't even point out when he calls for everyone to set aside partisan bickering and come together in one breath and in the very next blames the GOP and President Bush (yes, still Bush after three years) for all the ills of this nation. This is coming from the same man that during the Health Care debate told Eric Cantor that "elections have consequences, we won." He is the most partisan president in the history of this nation and our "watchdogs" in the press lets him get away with it.

-How can the progressives get away with calling these hard times the "great recession?" How can the have the gull to compare this time with one of the worst in our history. It is a slap in the face to those that lived and died during the Great Depression to make that comparison. They get away with it because there is no news to point this lie out and sadly the American people are historically stupid. They are aided by the fact that most of those from that era are already dead. As all good progressives know you can't change history while those that lived through it is still alive, but as soon as they begin to die off you begin to rewrite it to fit your purpose.

-Isn't it funny how President Obama says he won't stand for a continuing resolution on the debt ceiling. He claims he will veto any that comes across his desk and that the republicans are just playing politics with the debt ceiling (which incidentally he voted against raising in 2006). Funny thing is, he didn't have that same resolve when his party was playing politics with the budget in 2010 passing continuing resolution after continuing resolution in hopes not to lose as many seats in the elections, and trap the GOP in a quagmire. Now who is the ones really playing politics, Mr. President?

-How is it that President Obama and the progressives get away with "what could have been" when they speak on how they saved our nation from disaster or how they saved millions of jobs. Neither statement can ever be proven. So why isn't it ever challenged on the news shows? I guess when you have no record but bad, you have to make up something good and since the news networks are on their side they know it will never be challenged and will actually be reported as fact.

-It's funny how the GOP candidates cave in into pandering to some demographic or to the independents. The press never fails to ask them how they plan to get the black or the Latino vote or how they are going to grow their tent. sadly none of them ever give the right answer. We have been showed the way twice, and it wasn't pandering to nobody, but to America. Ronald Reagan won two of the most lopsided elections in our nations history by giving his conservative platform and letting them come to him. And come to him they did. They came in droves, because he spoke to the people. So why is it that we now find our candidates following the democrats pandering to everyone. And they wonder why they lose.

-Is our country better off? We must ask ourselves this question with everything, not just with elections. How about applying it to such progressive institutions such as the department of Education, HUD, EPA, Welfare, etc. or any of their social engineering, redistributive and politically correct programs and projects that litter and deplete our budget. Are we better off? Sure our technology has improved, but is our society better. No we have seen massive declines in responsibility, respect, morality, and honor just to name a few. It is a me generation. So are we better off?

-President Obama is trying to take credit for talking about spending cuts. He has no plans to actually do so. Yet you hear the press and people praise him for talking about it. Then again these people voted for him for him talking about it. This is the same man that whined that the republicans had no plan (when they actually did) when it came to the health care debate. So tell me Mr. President, where is your plan on spending cuts. And where is the press pointing out this lack of a plan? Oh yeah they are the ones giving him credit for talking about it.

-This progressive idea that everyone should go to college is ludicrous. Not everyone is cut out for college. We have all seen those kids there wasting their parents money just marking time and partying. Sadly though many our wasting our money as well, because they are getting financial aid. We have planted this seed in their heads that they should all be executives and CEO's. They see jobs their parents and grandparents did beneath them. They see manual labor for the poor. They are lazy and were made so by this progressive idea. Well, our country needs workers, those not afraid of getting their hands dirty. Besides is there any job beneath you when you don't have one? There shouldn't be, neither should there be if you are sponging off the taxpayers.

-I am so tired of hearing about Michelle Obama's "food desert's" it isn't funny. I know first ladies must have their cause, but this one is patently ridiculous and the propaganda being forced down our throats about it by the press is worse. There is no such thing as a food desert. Especially one in a city. Think about it, there are many small rural communities throughout the US cutoff from stores. My own hometown is more 20 miles from the nearest, yet we all seem to make it there without the benefit of public transportation. So how is it that some inner city neighborhood that has plenty of public transportation options can't go a few miles to a market? The truth is, they don't want to make an effort, so they invent these ridiculous concepts and expect the government to do something? That is always their answer to all the problems. The government to fix it, when they have never fixed anything. Just as they won't be able to fix these fictitious food deserts.
