Bailout or Bankruptcy

   It seems that our President is still drinking from that "Liberals Only" water fountain again.  I think he's just lost his marbles!  So he's thinking about giving the automakers money from the TARP fund - illegally - to help tide them over 'til Mr. Obama can come in and nationalize them.  Never mind the fact that the vast majority of THE PEOPLE don't want to do this.  This once again proves to me that once a person gets to Das Capital they completely forget the REAL reason why they are there - TO SERVE AND REPRESENT THE PEOPLE.  

   I recently read an opinion piece from Investor's Business Daily and here's a bit of what was said: The bailout was killed in the Senate by the Republican block largely because the United Auto Workers (UAW) didn't want to give any further concessions.  However, "gold plated union contracts are a big reason for U.S. automakers woes (though managerial incompetence at the Big 3 also played a role).  The average Big 3 worker made $73.26 an hour in 2006; an average worker in a foreign transplant (Toyota, Honda, Volkswagon, etc. in the U.S.), $44.20."  Graphs posted online shows just what this means for these companies' bottom line.  In 2007, Toyota made nearly the same number of vehicles as GM (over 9 million).  Toyota made almost $39 Billion, or over $1800 per car.  Interestingly, GM LOST $39 Billion or over $4000 per car during the same period.
   
   Where did all that money go?  It paid for retirement funds for pensions and healthcare.  It paid for workers' salaries whether or not they were actually working in the plant or laid off.  It paid for corporate jets, and all the other perks for the executives.  It paid for the union leaders salaries, and all the bureaucrats within the union.  It even trickled down into large campaign donations to the Democratic Party's warchest.  

   The op-ed piece continues on what bankruptcy would mean to the Big 3.
   "We don't want to see workers suffer or the auto industry disappear.  But the fact is, under bankruptcy reorganization, they won't.  The workers will still exist, as will their skills.  Unprofitable plants that can't be turned around will close.  A bankruptcy judge will sell unprofitable assets to those who can use them productively.  We won't need a "car czar", or congressional oversight, or political micromanagement.  And out of this process, a slimmer, more competitive and, yes, even profitable Big 3 can emerge if we let it - one that will be able to compete with foreign companies on our own soil."  I couldn't agree more.  

   We don't need more government intervention.  Let the market run its course.  Suppliers will get paid, investors will get some of their money as well.  So what if they go bankrupt?  It would teach the automakers a lesson in economics.  It would also teach the union to not get too greedy.  The union can be a good thing, but they've got to be responsible and remember they are stakeholders in the companies' survival.  Just because you want the sun and stars doesn't mean you can get the moon too.

This is Definately a Railroad Job

   The Dear Leader and his Politburo have made it quite obvious that this election is fixed.  There is no way that a guy with all of the baggage Obama has would even get this far - especially against a Clinton. 

Fact: Obama is a freshman senator who hasn't "paid his dues" in the party. While it is true that he has spread lots of money around to 'grease the palms' of almost every Democrat in the party (that was how he was able to be a primetime keynote speaker at the 2004 convention) - he still shouldn't have gotten even a nod as a candidate in the primaries. 

Fact: Obama has a multitude of suspicious ties to extreme radicals on the Left.  We all know about Bill ("guilty as sin - free as a bird") Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah (God damn America) Wright, and Rashid (PLO terrorist) Khalidi (who also bankrolled Obama's Harvard Law School education).  But there's also the Communist Party, the folks at ACORN, and the Mafia ties that he has as well. 

Fact: Obama has a hazy corrupt past as well.  The whole Antonin "Tony" Rezko deal (sweet real estate deal on his house then kicking back state funds to Rezko to build/refurbish public housing that became nothing more than a slum), strong ties to the corrupt Chicago Democratic political machine (Mayor Daley, etc.), and the companies that produce ethanol (a proven flop when it comes to being an alternative fuel) giving huge sums of donations then getting major federal grants for ethanol production.

Fact: Obama originally promised that he would only take public funds for his campaign.  Apparently he must have thought that that meant the public could donate as they wish.  While he has raised nearly a BILLION dollars, his website for donations does NOT verify whether the donations recieved are from individuals or from unions, businesses, foreign nationals or countries.  All of these are ILLEGAL and shall not be used for campaign purposes. 

Fact: There has never been such open media bias toward a candidate in the history of the U.S.  In years past the elite media outlets (CBS, NBC, ABC, NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Newsweek) all were somewhat slanted to the Left - but this year was blatant.  "This is the year (2008) that journalism died.", Sean Hannity opined.  The media bias runs deeper than what is shown on television or published in newspapers and magazines.  Several of the major polls are done by media outlets.  If you want to show "your guy" in a better light, it is relatively easy to skew your polling data by questioning only certain demographics.  The polls that use a total average of the polls will also be skewed by this kind of tactic.  Now if an undecided voter keeps hearing day after day that one candidate is doing better than another - that voter is more likely to vote for the one in the lead. 

Fact: As soon as anyone tried to show any kind of strong opposition to the Obama steamroller - the stooges were deployed to expose, humiliate, discredit, or silence them.  Sarah Palin was the first victim of this insidious tactic.  She continues to be ridiculed for things that wouldn't normally be newsworthy.  Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher was investigated, exposed, belittled, humiliated, and all done illegally via the State of Ohio's databases.  To an extent Joe Biden is silenced (not enough apparently - "we'll be attacked in 6 months").  The Clintons were hushed up (how many times did you hear Hillary speak since she was steamrolled - compared to the number of times you've heard Romney, Guiliani, and Huckabee?).  Television stations around the country have been blackballed from further contact with Obama/Biden because they asked tough questions that put them in a bad light.  This is comparable to what is currently going on in Russia.  Putin has control over his own media outlet, and has forced opposition out of business.  Therefore he can control what the Russian public sees.  Sound familiar?  

Fact: Obama is a minority.  While he is of mixed heritage, historically minority candidates do not fare well in national elections.  Believe it or not, whites are still in the majority (not by much), followed by hispanics, asians, and blacks.  His background is very atypical of the traditional candidate (alcoholic father from Kenya who ran off & a mother who was 'flaky' at best), and he openly admits to having used illicit drugs (an image killer in times past). 

Fact: Obama has family who are shady characters in Kenyan politics.  Having family who are involved in ANY kind of politics overseas (especially in Africa) has been a huge red flag for a potential presidential candidate.  There are just so many things that should have prevented Obama from getting to this point - but he has gotten a 'free pass' from so many people that he has been able to have his associations overlooked. 

Fact: The Left is bitter and upset over the last two elections and will stop at nothing to fix this election.  G.W. Bush won in 2000 by just a few thousand votes in an outrageous debacle in Florida. He won again in 2004 by another close election focused on Ohio.  Both times the liberal left felt that they were robbed and now feel that it is their turn to steal an election.  Problem is, it is pretty obvious what they are doing - and we on the right aren't able to do too much about it.  

So if things don't go our way on Nov. 4th - don't be suprised to wake up in the O.S.S.A (Obama Socialist States of America) on Nov. 5th.  State controlled media, one party government, with a blind eye turned to the corruption and waste of our socialist government.  GOD HELP US ALL!

Barney Frank ... idiot, homo, criminal

   If this idiot was a Republican - he'd have his nuts chopped off by the media, would be on his way to being forced to resign.  But - once again - the folks at Pravda, er The New York Times refuse to go after him.  Further, the folks at any other liberal elite mainstream media wouldn't even touch it.  
   First of all, Barney Frank is openly gay and has been romantically involved recently with one of the key players in the financial mess we're in.  Second, his refusal to believe that the FannieMae and FreddieMac crisis came as a direct result of his negligence and partisan views.  Third, he is now advocating even more spending despite the record budget deficit and cutting - yes CUTTING - the military's budget by 25%.  Is this guy on CRACK!?!  We must not be at war anymore, or he broke out Biden's crystal ball and saw that we won't have that so-called "international crisis that "Joe the VP Candidate" he predicted.  Either way I hope that the folks that are so poorly represented by him rise up and vote him out of office. 

If you have lousy representation - don't just give them a free pass, vote the bums out!  .

Post 1 of a Couple posts today

   Oh boy, I have to get in on the Biden bashing today.  I've been mum too long on his latest flub.  Can you actually believe the absolute NONSENSE this guy was spewing?  "A world crisis...to test Obama...will happen in six months."  WTF!?!  Did "Joe the VP candidate" whip out his crystal ball and come up with this?  Or maybe he's psychic?  No, I think he's more PSYCHOTIC than psychic.  I used to respect Biden because he once had a few good ideas about Iraq and the conduct of the war there.  Now I've come to the realization the man is a certifiable idiot! 

Let's review, shall we?  
   1. "We should do our patriotic duty and pay taxes" in order to support the Socialist - I mean - "Democratic" agendae when they get in office.  Ouch, let go of my checkbook!  
   2. "The real issue comes down to just 3 letters...J..O..B..S."  You say potatoe we say potato, you spell jobs with 3 letters we spell it with 4.  Yeah, whatever Einstein! 
   3. "There will be a world crisis...mark my words...in 6 months...to test Obama...and we may make a few decisions that may seem wrong...but we'll need for you to stand beside us (and keep spreading the propaganda that the "Dear Leader" is in control)".  That makes me all "warm and fuzzy" - oh wait that's that tingle up my leg.

Yet again another victim...

   Yet again, Obama's stooges have been mobilized to dig up whatever skeletons, misdeeds, or dirty laundry they could find.  We saw these stooges invade Anchorage, and Wasilla, AK in their satellite news trucks and shiny black Lincoln Navigators loaded with vermin.  These operatives of Obama are none other than the media and so-called "campaign workers".  Again I was appalled at the speed these sub-humans began to devour a target of Obama and his Terminator-like political machine.  Don't tell me that the underworld of Chicago mafia and radical extremists aren't behind this either.  With his ties to these groups, Obama can easily target anyone - even you or me - for instant public humiliation, scrutiny, and scorn.  
   The stooges descended on small-town Ohio this week to rein in the insubordinate Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher.  What scares me most is that it happened to a private citizen who simply asked a question that put the "Dear Leader" in a bad light.   "How dare he challenge the Great and Powerful Obama?!?" - they shouted. "He, he's not even registered to vote!"  "How dare he ask abot taxes when he doesn't do his patriotic duty and pay his!?" "His union says he's not even a plumber!"  "Why, he's even a sodomizing, child-porn loving, satan worshipper!"  "I bet the CIA planted him there just to attack our Beloved Leader!"   The interviews and comments made about Mr. Wurzelbacher in the following days after the incident were shameful and should be a huge opportunity for John McCain to capitalize on the liberal elitist mentality of the Obama-Biden ticket and the Democratic Party.  
   Even the "Dear Leader" himself put Joe the Plumber up for scorn.  In a speech at one of his rallies, Obama pokes fun at John McCain for sending a plumber to do his work.  The mesmerized crowd laughs on cue, and it makes a great sound bite for NBC's Nightly News.  Dianne "I'm too old for Primetime" Sawyer interviews the poor guy on ABC (Always Be Condescending) for Good Morning America.  Just like Charlie Gibson - Sawyer tries to trip him up by asking him if he is registered to vote. 
    "Yes, yes I am.", he replies.  "Oh, (SHOCKED) oh, I just wanted to clear that up.", Sawyer comes back.  When she asks him about his views on the Obama tax plan, she spews VERBATIM the Obama talking points in reply.  How much more in the tank can you be without working for MSNBC!?  
   I feel bad for Joe.  But, you know that there are millions of other "Joes" and "Janes" in this country.  John McCain MUST stand up with them and fight for them.  We are tired of do-nothing politicians that take our money and stuff it in their own pockets and in the pockets of their friends and contributors.  We need you John McCain!  Stand up and fight for us John!  Don't forget about us!

FannieMae and the Liberal Mindset

   I got this a few days ago, and some of the comments I've gotten recently (thanks Sue and bryce) have reminded me about this clip.  I can not for the life of me figure out how McCain/Palin have missed this point. The House Republicans and some of the Senate Republicans (including McCain) have been trying for several years to regulate and get a handle on the free-for-all lending practices that were FORCED on FannieMae and FreddieMac.  The only reason why none of this never saw the floor in Congress was that it could never have passed with enough votes due to the then slight Republican majority and the more recent Democratic majority in the House.  I am furious over the fact that not enough was done to stop this madness.
                
                                  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs   

   I understand why the Liberals in Congress think the way they do.  They feel the need to help the poor, the folks in need, and such.  But I care about these people too.  We just don't need to go around forcing bad business practices on lenders to help the disadvantaged.  
   My view is that the poor and needy can better benefit from a "hand up" and not a "hand out".  I think you all can agree with the old saying: "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, feed him for life."  That is what many good and caring Conservatives feel.  Sure, help those in need - by giving them the opportunities to better themselves.  Don't turn people into welfare and entitlement junkies.  Let them have some dignity by getting out of the way to let businesses hire them, encouraging local faith-based groups to help the needy improve themselves, and save our tax dollars for those who truly need help (i.e. the disabled veterans, the family who lost a loved one while serving the country, etc.).  
   I went to a fantastic prep school in Detroit - University of Detroit Jesuit High School (GO CUBS!).  While I was there, we were encouraged to work with a wonderful group sponsored by the Archdioscese of Detroit (yes, the Catholic church) called FOCUS:Hope.  This organization (which I've visited several times even after I graduated) does help feed the needy, the elderly shut-ins, and the homeless.  But, they also have several fantastic vocational training programs to teach folks a trade (like machinists, and other technical jobs) so they can get good paying jobs. I think programs like FOCUS:Hope should be established everywhere, and supported by all of us with our donations of money, time, and talent.

Anyone Out There - Part Deux

   OMG!  I can't believe I forgot one of the best moments on television (actually I heard it on Sirius satellite radio) when Bill O'Reilly exploded all over Barney "Sylvester the Cat" Frank.  That was EPIC!!  Barney Frank has got to have one of the silliest lisps (remember - he's gay too) and I was expecting the cameraman to reach around to wipe off the lens - like they do when Geraldo is standing on top of a levee in a hurricane - from all the spit he was producing.  O'Reilly flat out AMBUSHED the congressman - deservedly so - and called him out as a liar and a coward.  BRILLIANT!!  
   The Dems have no cover for their deceit.  They forced their radical liberal agenda onto FannieMae and FreddieMac by demanding that they give loans to un-creditworthy minority homebuyers.  This is going to sound racist - but facts are factsHow in the hell is a black family in the inner city of Detroit, Chicago, New York, Newark, St. Louis, Dallas, or L.A. going to buy a house with a minimum wage job and a welfare check!?!  How in the hell is a young latina single mother with 4 kids (from 4 different daddies) going to buy a house in the city with a welfare check!?!  Sure, their Democratic representative in Congress (Charlie Rangel, Chuck Schumer, John Conyers, etc.) will look even better to these poor people when election time rolls around because they helped them get a house - roaches, rats and all.  But these same slimeballs also benefitted from these programs for themselves - and wrecked the economy at the same time. 
   IF YOU LIVE IN A DISTRICT REPRESENTED BY A DEMOCRAT - ESPECIALLY THESE GUYS - THEN YOU MUST VOTE THESE BUMS OUT OF OFFICE IN NOVEMBER!!  THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DID NOTHING AND STOLE YOUR TAX DOLLARS!!  THEY ARE THE ONES WHO REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING, GO ON VACATION AND TRIED TO SILENCE THOSE WHO WANTED TO WORK OUT A SOLUTION TO OUR ENERGY CRISIS.  THE DEMOCRATS LIE, AND THEY WANT TO TAKE AS MUCH AWAY FROM YOU AS THEY CAN!!!

Anyone Out There?

   Wow, has it been nearly a month since I last posted?  A lot has happened in the past 3 weeks and I have been missing out on putting in "my two cents".  Is anyone even reading me anymore?  Give me a shout out if you are getting these!  I want to hear from you.

   1. What in the heck is goin' on with OUR government!?  Bailouts, earmarks for wooden arrows and race car tracks?  WTF!?!?  I have a really good video on YouTube that all of you should watch.  It explains how the monetary system we currently have came to be.  Warning: it is a bit "wonkish", but it explains things pretty simply.  Also, the Ron Paul types would go for some of the proposals at the end - but still a good primer on the economy and how it really works. The link is: Money as Debt - A 45 minute primer on the Economy .  
   
   2. The VP debate.  Sarah did well and did attack BHO and Joe - some.  Joey "Motormouth" Biden spouted off a bunch of incorrect "facts" about the middle east, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria - but not a single word was mentioned in the media about it.  Johnny Mac better go into Tues. night's debate and kick Mr. Empty Suit's rear-end - or we may be looking at the "United Socialist States of America".  The U.S.S.A. is not a place I want to live in.  Bread lines, Pelosi's politburo, statues of Obama looking down his nose at the commoners - you get the idea.  
   
   3. Sarah Palin is NOT STUPID!!!  The liberal "mainstream" media has been all over this poor lady and has grilled her more than a freakin' bratwurst.  Katie Couric is NOT a journalist!  Charlie Gibson is SEXIST and ELITIST!  Who do these punks think they are!?  They're NOT Walter Freakin' Cronkite that's for sure.  I got word that some Hollywood actress (don't remember her name - and frankly I don't give a rat's @$$) was coming to town.  It was not a big shock to find out that she was campaigning for - you guessed it - Barack Hussein Obama.  The media is a god-awful joke and should stay the hell out of politics.  
   
   4. What the hell is wrong with the Chicago Cubs!?!  Best team in baseball during the season and they get swept!?!  Guess that priest blessing the Cubs' dugout and pouring holy water on it did a whole lot for them.  The only way they will get to the World Series is if they sell their souls to the Devil and tear down Wrigley Field to play in a domed stadium on real Astroturf  (not that new fake grass - the kind of stuff you put on your patio). 

WHAT DO YOU THINK!?

The Latest Nonsense

   You have to love the Libs.  Joe Biden putting his foot in his over-active mouth, and the Obama machine spreading lies and more disinformation.  They talked about what a gift McCain gave them when he said (truthfully) that the basic tenets of the economy were strong.  The machine tried to spin that so McCain looked like Bush and had no clue about the economy and how out of touch he was.  Riiiiiiiight, and they're not taking their economic plans from the Communist Manifesto.  Ooops!  Did I say that!?  Nope - that would be Joe "I've got a mouth with a mind of its own" Biden.  He spilt the beans and says that they actually want to TAKE money from us and spread it out "for the common good" - read government - because that is the "patriotic" thing to do.  HAH!  They neglected to realize that the soviet socialist economic policies FAILED!!!  They also neglected the fact that the economy GREW over the past few months.
   The Libs plan to grow the government an even larger size - to control us even further, and get even more in the way of progress.  When has the government ever done anything well!?!?  Do you really want to have some dorky bureaucrat telling you how high you can turn up your thermostat, or when you can see a doctor, or how often you can drive your car?  
   They also plan to tax the s*it out of businesses, the folks that run these businesses, and the incentives that these folks had to stay in business.  So when all these businesses pass on the cost of these taxes in higher prices, firing the workers, and eventually closing their doors - should we be suprised that Obama and his sleazy friends will find a way to blame everyone else but themselves?     
   Then the libs want to put us even further behind in the world economy by closing our doors to foreign trade, not taking the steps to get us out of debt, and not taking the steps to truly get us free from the strangle-hold that OPEC has on us.  How can we regain that respect in the world if we refused to trade fairly with other countries, and welch out on our debts?  What we need is someone who will push for proven conservative economic policies, and have the courage to have the cajones to say that we're serious about drilling for our own oil.  Leadership is lacking in getting the budget squared away.  It is NOT a good thing to be "owned" by the Chinese.  It is no wonder why we didn't take a harder stance on their poor human rights record during the Olympics.  We want to keep our "sugar daddy".  
   Speaking of sugar daddies, what is up with the Fed (a non-constitutional entity) bailing out AIG!?!?  I thought that only the Congress could spend our tax dollars.  Don't we get a say in how our money is spent?!?!  I think that if the IRS sent an invoice for all the programs and earmarks that my share of our tax dollars went to every month - I should get to pick which ones I want to pay for and don't put my money toward the ones I don't want to pay for.  Its obvious that Congress and the Fed don't listen to my opinion anyway.  What do you think?

O'Reilly and Obama - "O" My!

   If you haven't been watching O'Reilly's interview with Obama, then you've missed some good exchanges.  I only wish that there was more time to further pursue some of the topics being discussed.  O'Reilly had Obama on the hook about Iraq and the surge - then let him off so they could move on to Afghanistan.  Then again he had him on the hook about the economy - and let him off the hook.  
   I realize that part of it is just simple time constraints, but I have to believe that Bill O'Reilly is a smart TV commentator and knows how to play the ratings game.  I agree that O'Reilly had no choice but to jump at the chance to interview Obama and air the interview just before McCain's acceptance speech and during the following week.  Obama's people aren't stupid, they figured that they could "blunt the bump" in McCain's poll numbers after the convention.  It doesn't look like that mattered much - because McCain did get a bump.  Also, this may even backfire on Obama because it shows how far left he is and how he gets flustered under pressure.  
   So what does it all mean?  McCain should further capitalize on this and try to extend the lead by continuing to expose Obama's radical, liberal, and dangerous views for America.  There are polls out that show foreign countries would rather see Obama in office than McCain.  That idiot British comedian on the MTV awards show didn't help Obama much by pleading for Americans to vote for Obama "for the sake of the world".  Since when did the Socialist, Leftist Euro-scum vote for president?  And who cares what they think anyway!?  The US shouldn't have to seek approval from the rest of the world to protect our interests!  I think they seem to have forgotten their history.  They're free to spew this crap because of the blood of AMERICANS "sacrificed on the altar of Freedom".  
   John McCain is the right choice for America because he knows what works.  Failed Socialist policies of the left have not and will never bring the success and growth we currently enjoy.  I don't want some government agency telling me how to run my life.

McPalin and the WOW factor

   I have to say that the pick of Sarah Palin was BRILLIANT!  I am very pleased with this choice and I know that everybody was talking about it over the weekend.  She is everything that McCain wants in a running mate.  She's pro-life, tough on corrupt pork-barrell earmarks, has EXECUTIVE leadership experience, pro-2nd Amendment, and has the WOW factor.  
   I was at work the morning she was announced as the VP pick.  A conservative (and a latina) co-worker calls me from home to tell me the news and how excited she is about Gov. Palin.  I couldn't get over her excitement.  The rest of the staff on duty were also buzzing about the pick as well.  Another comment about Gov. Palin I heard was "she's hot!" meaning she's georgeous. Funny - but that isn't the reason I'd use to make up my mind about who to vote for.  My email box nearly exploded with WOW messages over her selection.  Even my Democrat mother was suprised and had a few nice things to say about her - not that she's going to vote for McCain, but I was suprised by her comments.  
   McCain has certainly put the WOW back in the campaign!!
 
   Gov. Palin has already been criticized by Obama's camp as being just as inexperienced as we are making him out to be. Hmmm, do I sense a bit of realization that Obama is nothing more than an over-ambitious, empty-suited, corrupt Chicago politician?  Let's see...
 
  • She is in command of real military units as Alaska's govenor.
  • She is the chief executive for Alaska's government.
  • She has made real (and effective) changes in the way the state is run.
  • She has fundamental political viewpoints and hasn't moved from them to fit the audience she's addressing.
  • She isn't corrupted by Chicago's Democratic Machine, Hollywood's deep pockets,  or blinded by ambition when choosing associations (Rev. Wright, Fr. Pflager, Tony Rezko, William Ayers).  AND
  • (As my friend would say) She is "hot"

Hung Over

   Sorry gang for not posting too much in the past few days.  I guess you'd say I am a bit hung over from the hoopla of the past few days.  You can expect me to add "my 2 cents" in the coming months leading up to election day.  Hope you'll enjoy and comment as well.  I'm just a simple guy with a silly sense of humor - so bear with me.

"Get me a young priest and an old priest..."

   Y'all remember that line from "The Exorcist"?  Well, seems the DNC did too.  They got an "old priest" to go along with their "young priest" to try and "exorcise" our hold on the White House.  I'd say that this should be a slam dunk for the McCain team.  The Dems can't bring up age, or the tired line "more of the same" anymore since they've got one of the most senior senators running along with The One.  The Dems realized just how weak he really is and are trying to shore up his lack of experience by getting Biden. 
   Biden is an interesting character.  Yes, he's very smart when it comes to foreign policy.  He's one of the few on Capitol Hill that I've heard that had any kind of a plan for a post-Saddam Iraq.  Having served over there, I was hopeful that Biden might be able to have some sway with the Defense dept. in getting us out safely with a win.  He did say - before the surge - that we needed to provide a secure environment for the Iraqi government to grow and demonstrate to the people that they are capable of holding power.  As you now know, Iraq is just about ready for us to let their military and police handle the security part and have us there as a backup.  I'm not saying that I'm "going over to the dark side" because of Biden.  I just think he's another stunt by the Dems to help polish The One's image as a leader.  This whole week is going to be nauseating to watch with all the lies, and the omissions of fact about The One and Number Two.  
   Remember folks, these guys have some of the slimiest weasels working for them - so don't let your friends and family get suckered in.  Keep speaking out and spreading the truth about the lies about Obama and Biden.  We all know what they are - no plans to fix the energy crisis, more taxes to "redistribute the wealth", and no spines when dealing with Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, the Saudis, Hamas......


THROW THE DEMOCRATS OUT OF CONGRESS AND KEEP THEM OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

Trip thru the Heartland

   I'm back from an unplanned trip up to Chicago to get my daughter from the Navy's school for Hospital Corpsmen.  A good program, and an honorable rating in the Navy.  But I digress...
   Along the way, we saw a good cross-section of America and just how beautiful our country really is.  Here are a few things we noticed:
  • The booming wind turbine industry in north central Texas.  There are hundreds of turbines for miles and miles along I-20 around Sweetwater.  T. Boone Pickens and his people should be proud.  These turbines are neat to look at and help to break-up the monotony of driving this stretch of highway.
  • Most folks are just plain everyday people trying to get by.  The men and women who work along the highways in truck stops, toll booths, restaurants, hotels, farms, etc. are the real America.  I've always thought that if you want to see real Americans - drive along our highways. 
  • There is a LOT of corn being grown in the Midwest.  All we'd see for miles and miles in Illinois was huge fields of corn.  What I can't figure out is "Why are there people complaining that ethanol is taking all the grain away when there are such huge fields of corn and so few gas stations that sell ethanol?".  Is ethanol that inefficiently produced?
  • Chicago is a great town, but why are the roads always under construction?  Is it because the politicians are so involved with the road construction companies?  Even in Chicago, they realize just how crooked their politicians are - so why are they still there?

   Anyway, I thought you'd like to know that America isn't dead yet.  People are getting restless, but not to the point of picking up pitchforks and heading to Capitol Hill to chase the dolts out of the building.  Talking with these folks made me realize how far removed we Americans have made ourselves from those who influence our livelihoods.  So you folks who read these blogs need to go out and educate your friends and neighbors about what can happen if they stay complacent.  Ask them to read our blogs.  Ask them to think about what is going on in their city or state.  Get them active.

Have we lost our "Cajones?"

   The conflict between Georgia and Russia is evidence enough that our once great nation has been effectively neutered.  While it would be wise to gingerly deal with the Russians (remember - they still have nukes pointed at us) we just don't carry the clout like we once did.  Apparently the tarnished image of our nation in the world's eyes has weakened even more, and Russia had the golden opportunity to march into Georgia, sieze more oil rich assets and swat the buzzing fly of a warm Georgian relationship with the U.S.  A "perfect storm" came together with the coming U.S. elections, Georgia pushing to hold onto North Ossetia, the world indifference, and the U.S. military streched so thin already.  Not only that, but it makes us look even more weak as we struggle to meet our energy demands here at home.  
   The sad thing is that no longer the U.S. is considered a leader in keeping the peace.  Any nation that can somehow justify invading a neighboring country (as is the case here) has no need to fear from international consequences.  We are beginning a new age of Eastern Despotism where economically, and militarily strong countries like Russia and China will rule the day.  Be ready for the new superpowers, because this old one had been put on life support.  Our "shining city on the hill" isn't so shiny anymore.  We are headed for dark territory - and now more than ever our country needs to be vigilant for those who would do us further harm.  Support the movement for energy independence.  Support those who stand for American values, and not the Socialist lies.  Don't fall for the hype of "Change".  Change is good - if it is needed.  But steering this nation further left is NOT the way to go.  WE NEED A GOOD STRONG LEADER WHO WILL PUT HIS COUNTRY FIRST!  WE NEED SOMEONE THAT WILL NOT GO ASKING FOR PERMISSION SLIPS TO TAKE CARE OF AMERICAN INTERESTS.  WE NEED SOMEONE WITH A PAIR OF "CAJONES"!
