Something wicked this way comes or, Barry’s Taxman Cometh!!

I’m sure we all remember very well, or we at least we should, the statement made that declared, “No one making under $250,000 will see their taxes go up, not one dime.” Isn’t that precisely what candidate Barry “Almighty” said during his campaign? I could have sworn that’s what I heard him say, over and over and over again. I know, I know, he was just trying to get himself elected, right, so that makes it all ok. Because apparently, if you’re a Democrat and you are trying to get yourself elected, that gives you license to say, or do, pretty much anything you deem as being necessary. The ends always justify the means. A little like the reason that “BJ” Clinton recently stated, about the finally deceased Robert Byrd, in that it was ok for him to be a member of the KKK, because after all, he was just trying to get elected in order to serve the people. Why is it always seen as being acceptable, even honorable, for Democrats to say or do whatever it is that “they need” to do in their effort to achieve an electoral victory? And as far as Barry is concerned, what he said was an outright lie, a lie that he told loudly and that he told often, and that was a lie every time he said it. And he knew it was a lie every time he said it. It was a lie because he “knew” that once elected, he had every intention of raising everyone’s taxes, it’s all that these scumbag Democrats know how to do, well that and spend other people’s money! So now, feigning some sort of faux outrage regarding a financial crisis that he says is the direct result of the last 8 years of George Bush and the mess that he left behind, he says taxes will need to be raised if we are to gain control of our financial situation. But that’s not quite an accurate statement either, and Barry is more than well aware of that little fact too. It’s all a sick façade, because he’s well aware that what has put us in our present and very dangerous downward spiral is the incredible amount of debt that has been amassed and that is directly of “his”, Barry’s, making. He knows full well that the excuse for which he must now claim as being the basis for his raising of taxes on folks making as little $50,000, is to place the blame for it on anybody but himself. But his claims ring hollow because the word is getting out, because these tax hikes, while being claimed to be so needed as a means of bringing down Bush’s deficit, it’s Barry’s massive spending binge that has created the present ballooning deficit. So essentially, we’re all going to be forced into covering the cost of “his” outrageous spending done for no other reason than to move his “progressive” agenda further along. Ya know, I would just love to go bang on my neighbors door and tell him that because of my poor spending habits, this month he’s going need to make my car note for me. What do you suppose he would say, “Well sure, I’ll be glad to help you out, so what if you spent too much money on things that maybe you shouldn’t have. I got ya covered there neighbor.” Nope, I’m afraid not, I know my neighbor, and trust me when I say this, that his response would be not something that can be included here. Suffice it to say, that it would be a very resounding NO WAY Jose!
As far as I’m concerned it should be all those morons who chose to vote for this blatant socialist thug who should be footing the bill, they should be all too happy to pay for all of this supposed namby-pamby “Hope and Change” nonsense. Whoops, that's right, they can’t because the majority of those folks are the very same ones who comprise most of those either on Welfare or are too lazy to go out and get a job. So that leaves the rest of us who are then expected to pick up their tab as they go through life. No doubt that that entire 47 percent of households who no longer pay “any” federal taxes were all very enthusiastic supporters and proud to be Barry voters. Therefore it’s left to the rest of us to be forced into the subsidizing of the booze, strip club and drug habits maintained by those many Barry supporters, plus provide for the kids they continue to pop out that they can’t afford. Kids, by the way, who most likely will turn out to be Democrat supporting wards of the state. Stop this merry-go-round, please, I’m ready to get the f**k off. The sheer insanity of what is going on here provides but one more very clear indication of the critical nature regarding this year’s election. I simply do not think that enough people fully realize by how fine a thread by which we are currently hanging.

Here’s a little of what’s going to be happening come January 1:

Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
- The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
- The 25% bracket rises to 28%
- The 28% bracket rises to 31%
- The 33% bracket rises to 36%
- The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%

Higher taxes on marriage and family. The “marriage penalty” (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income. The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level. The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.

The return of the Death Tax. This year, there is no death tax. For those dying on or after January 1 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes and a retirement account could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones.

Higher tax rates on savers and investors. The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.

And then comes……Obamacare

There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:

The “Medicine Cabinet Tax” Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).

The “Special Needs Kids Tax” This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education.

The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.

But wait, there’s more……The Alternative Minimum Tax and Employer Tax Hikes

When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they’ll be in for a nasty surprise—the AMT won’t be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired. The major items include:

The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year. According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress’ failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families—rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.

Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear. Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowly-deduct, or “depreciate”) equipment purchases up to $250,000. This will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can expense half of their purchases of equipment. In January of 2011, all of it will have to be “depreciated.”

Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the “research and experimentation tax credit,” but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.

Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available. Tax credits for education will be limited. Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut. Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed. The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.

Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed. Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA. This contribution also counts toward an annual “required minimum distribution.” This ability will no longer be there.

So, what do you think there folks, was voting for this corrupt piece of dog squeeze really worth the price that we’re now paying today? Was it worth forfeiting control of your healthcare to Barry, or to have the government now owning car companies, banks and quite possibly very soon even to have Barry in complete control of our entire energy industry. Was it worth it, REALLY? So I guess what I’m asking here is, “How’s all that “Hope and Change” working for you?” Was voting for this guy so worth it to you that we now have to mortgage our kid’s future in an effort to just try cover the costs of his quest for that ever-illusive socialist utopia? Now, again thanks to those who voted for him, we’re in the position of being stuck with this, this “Obamanation” for at least another two years, and trust me when I say, he ain’t anywhere near being through as far as what it is he has in mind regarding the wreaking of as much damage on our country as he can. Look back over the last two years and try to find what remains of our country today that is still recognizable from the one that existed prior to January 20, 2009. If that doesn’t put the fear of God into you and serve as more than just a little motivation for working toward the making of the coming election a referendum on what is being forced upon us, then I don’t suppose anything will. And should we fail in our attempt this November to at least limit the amount of damage he can do, during what hopefully will the last two years of his presidency, then my friends the thin thread by which we are hanging, that I mentioned earlier, will surely snap under the weight of what we have allowed Barry to do. And this is just the tip of the iceberg because remember, there is the possibility of the European style Value Added Tax (VAT) that is till looming out there until at least after the election.
The clock is ticking, those of us who wish to save our country must be resolute in the maintaining of our determination to put a stop to this madness. First we must focus on preventing further damage from being done by ridding ourselves of as many of those in the House and Senate as we can. Then must turn our attention and focus our energy on the turning back of the clock, to the point where we can make it appear as if Barry had never been here. Can we do it? We must!!

Unemployment checks, The fastest way to create jobs...HUH?

"Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program", so says House Speaker Nancy "Botox" Pelosi. While talking to reporters, our esteemed House speaker was defending a jobless benefits extension against those who make the argument that it provides recipients very little incentive to actually go out in search of work. Using some rather unorthodox reasoning, she makes the claim that those checks are in reality helping to give somebody a job. "It injects demand into the economy," Ms. Pelosi said, arguing that when families have money to spend it keeps the economy churning. Sorry, I guess I hadn't yet realized that our economy was churning, I thought it was doing something that more closely resembles plunging into the abyss. Anyway, she went on to say, "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name." Pelosi said the this type of aid has the "double benefit" of helping those who have lost their jobs as well as acting as a "job creator" on the side. "It's impossible to think of a situation where we would have a country that would say we're not going to have unemployment benefits," Pelosi said. I would ask Ms. Pelosi, why not? If unemployment benefits are going to be offered then they should be made available only for a definite period of time. It should be provided for a suitable period of time that affords the person who finds him or herself unemployed a period of time to look for another job. It should be for a period of months, not years. Let’s just call it, providing a little incentive.
Ok, now look, I freely admit that I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but this kind of sheer nonsense advocated by the Speaker just doesn't compute for me, it doesn't make a lick of sense. If there is someone, anyone, out there who can enlighten me regarding the accuracy of the statements made by the Speaker, I would really appreciate it, because this sounds exactly like the same perverted "Progressive" logic that got us into this fiscal jam in the first place. The rationale behind even the making of such an idiotic statement, totally escapes me. It's nothing more than the purest form of Liberal lunacy to throw anything against the wall to see if it sticks. And it shows just how screwed up things have really gotten. Because when the Speaker of the House can stand in front of reporters and a television camera and say something this stupid, and with a straight face no less, or as straight as she can get it, convinced that she's making sense, then my friends, we have a much more serious problem than even I thought. Does it strike anyone other than myself that the reason that our country has gotten so far into the crapper in the first place is because of morons like this who have worked so hard to put us there? And so, it would appear we are but just one flush away with these pathetic pieces sh!t having one hand poised on the handle ready to enthusiastically perform that final flush? And what's really depressing is the fact that a lot of these flaming imbeciles will wind up getting reelected come this Fall because, as a nation, we've managed to morph away from a country with a proud heritage of rugged individualism, personal responsibility and uniqueness into something so far removed as to now make it totally unrecognizable. Many of us simply too stupid to see what it is that we have here and seem far too eager to just throw it all away. You know, you can tell a lot about people by the politicians they repeatedly elect and re-elect. Take Massachusetts for example. How many times did those folks re-elect that drunken slob of a lying pervert Ted Kennedy and how many times has John Kerry Heinz, who spent a fictionalized, and very brief, period of time in Vietnam, been re-elected? And then, of course, there is that "Gay Caballero", Bawney Fwank, on second thought let's not even go there, he's just too repulsive to even talk about. With them having repeatedly elect these lunatics, I think it very safe to say that the combined IQ of those who make up the general population of the "Bay State" would be very close to the largest shoe size that one could find there. And that's just one example, there are many, many more! Just look at any Blue state, they’re all the same. And there seems some evidence of an growing epidemic of sorts that has as its origin Washington D.C., and it is rapidly spreading all across this nation.
The truth of the matter is that our government is only going to be as good as we the people choose to make it. So, in effect, you could say that our economic situation, the poor response to the continuing oil spill in the Gulf, the outright seizure of our healthcare system as well as 2 car companies and a bunch of banks, is pretty much our own fault. After all, the bottom-line here is that we elected these crooks, so we really have no one to blame but ourselves. You could say we screwed up because trusted them, but with us screwing up so badly, that’s kind a lame excuse. Of course, if you happen to be of the opinion that these crooks happen to be doing exactly what you elected them to do, then I guess I would be questioning your sanity. So, for those us who did not elect them to take these sort of actions, the question that remains is, are we willing to accept the error of our ways and to now take the necessary and appropriate action to rectify it. Are we ready to work to remedy the situation this November by booting out as many of these hypocritical a**holes as possible. Or, will we simply revert to our old selves by taking the easy way out by re-electing them and to then spend the next two years bitching about them only to turn right around and re-elect them yet again. At some point the little light bulb will have to come on with us finally coming to the realization that we are never going to achieve a different outcome if we keep repeating the same mistakes. We're going to need to force ourselves to come the conclusion that we simply cannot go on like this because sooner or later we're all going to end up living on the streets watching Barry and the rest of his ilk drive by while they waving to us through the windows of their big, shiny limos. If we want to survive we're going need to raise our standards a bit regarding those who we wish to have representing us, because right now that bar is way, way too low. Even as I say that, I know there remains a segment of our voting population who, when choosing whom to vote for, cares very little about any qualifications their candidate may, or may not, actually possess, witness the election of Barry "Almighty." Their primary concern is one of where it is that the candidate stands on current government entitlement programs. Does he/she plan on pursuing attempts to increase or decrease funding or perhaps require a little work be performed in return for government handouts? This is what these folks see as being their single most critical issue. And to be the recipient of their vote, the candidate must be strongly in favor of both the continuing and the increasing the amount paid by way of these subsidies.
The present fiscal condition of our country and the crushing amount of debt that is rapidly being piled up, is of very little consequence to those who base their vote solely on they're being given some guarantee that their gravy train will continue to go chugging along totally unimpeded. And if the taxes of others will be required to go up to cover the exorbitant cost, well then, so be it. These individuals see it as being not acceptable that the rest of us who subsidize their behavior, courtesy of our taxes, wish to do so for only a finite period of time. Those on the receiving endless welfare payments who continually cast themselves as being victims of society feel that those paying the bills have no right to make those payments contingent upon the beneficiaries working toward the goal of eventually being able to cover their own expenses. Doing so by actually finding a "job" and going to "work." Heavens NO! Look, thanks to their hero "Barry "Almighty" we are BROKE, DEAD BROKE! That these people just do not get that, clearly shows where their priorities are. Tax the rich makes for a nice little mantra, but for crying out loud, rich or not, how much money should someone be required to fork over to the government for no other reason than to continue to subsidize the shiftless and lazy among us. The situation in which these people find themselves is purely self-inflicted. Ultimatums are going to need to be given that no more free rides are going to be given. If you’re unwilling to be contributing member of society, then you’d better have a plan B. Because plan A will no longer consist of the raping of taxpayers to provide anyone with a check that enables to purchase their booze and drugs. Reasonable, rational and constructive reforms along with a realistic tax policy need to be enacted. And we all know that is not something that’s going to happen as long as the Democrats are running the show. We have to work our way back toward the direction that the Founders had intended for us. We have gotten ourselves so far off course and all at the hands of those who wish to move as far as possible away from that original design. If we are going to be serious about getting ourselves back on track our first opportunity will come this November. So, have we finally had enough of the continuing fiscal irresponsibility coming from Congress? While we’re saddled with Barry for at least another two years, we can make a fundamental change in the face of the House and Senate this fall. The question that needs to be answered is……will we?

DISILLUSIONED, DISHEARTENED AND DISAPPOINTED…IN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Feeling as I do about the importance of the coming election, I'm somewhat disappointed in the fact that I'm not seeing any real sense of urgency coming from any of those around me as I go about by daily travels. Everybody seems to be so self-absorbed in their own little World and completely unaware of what it is that our leaders are so desperately trying to foist upon us. It would seem that they are now to the point of being completely oblivious to what it is that may be looming just over the horizon. I would venture to guess that not one could provide me with the name of the current Supreme Court nominee that will deal a very severe blow to the Constitution when she is in all likelihood, confirmed. They're much too busy living for today to worry all that much about anything that may be waiting for us out there tomorrow. I mean really, what the Hell, why worry about the future anyway, we can't change it. Right? WRONG! That's pretty much the same attitude that got us into our present predicament. The time for changing the future is now, today, before it becomes the future, because once the future becomes the present, then it becomes all the more difficult, if not totally impossible, to change in any meaningful way. So in reality now would be the ideal time for us to attempt to alter what the future is to be, because it is not yet cast in stone. And it really isn't all that difficult to see what lies ahead if we continue on the path that we presently are on. An fairly accurate picture of what our future may look like can be created by simply comparing what our country was like back in the 50's or 60's and then fast-forwarding to see what is has become today. Now don’t get me wrong, there have been some positive things that have occurred over that time, most notably in the area of race relations, thanks to the Republicans, but for the most part, the changes that have taken place have been very detrimental to our being able to maintain any degree of survivability as the freest nation on the planet. It would seem that we have looked the other way in the allowing of certain changes to be forced upon us, changes that have accomplished nothing more than to undermine the critical underpinnings of our society all under the guise of making America a better place by preaching to us all varying degrees of pabulum about the benefits of diversity,inclusiveness, tolerance and compassion. Over time, groups such as the ACLU and their ilk, have taken it upon themselves to energetically supplant the will of the people through an orchestrated and very well executed, tactical plan of attack by way of using the federal court system. A method that has proved to be very effective for them courtesy of some very activist, and Democrat appointed federal judges. A voluminous number of frivolous law suits have been brought about for no other reason than to weaken the foundations of our country, which instead of being tossed out, were allowed to proceed at great detriment to our country. And even on the off chance that they failed, there was always some damage that was done. And in the end all that was really accomplished was the successfully cheapening of the concept of what it means to be an American, which I think it fair to say, was the objective all along. We were conned, and we continue to be conned, with our good nature and our sense of fair play, being seriously taken advantage of by those with ulterior, and somewhat sinister, motives. None of us wish to appear as standing in the way of progress, even if we, ourselves, may not view it as such. We find ourselves agreeing with those in positions of authority thinking that they must see something that we don't, and if it is said to be what's best for our society, than far be it from us to stand in the way. Well my friends, the time has arrived for us to begin standing firmly in the way! If we're going to be able to stop the wholesale destruction of our country that is currently underway, extreme measures are going to need to be taken, and soon.
But are there now enough of us left willing to do so? I know what the polls say about the approval rating of Congress and of Barry, as well as what the polls are predicting regarding the coming election. But the question that remains is will that sentiment actually translate into votes? That's the great uncertainty we're facing at the present time. Because as we all know, the only poll that counts is that one conducted on Election Day. And between now and that time, we must muster our forces as best we can and form an army of resistance and to add to our numbers through the convincing of others that the time is now right to work toward changing the future. Because if we fail to act now, it may become too late to rectify the situation once the future has arrived. People need to be convinced that those presently in power do not have our best interests at heart. What they remain focused on is their marching of our country further and further leftward, which can have only one result, the succeeding in further reducing the freedoms and liberties that used to be so much more prevalent here in what was at one time the bastion of freedom. Those very same freedoms and liberties that now, for the most part, are taken for granted by so many. But the crux of matter regarding what we are now being faced with is that so many people seemed to have resigned themselves to the fact that "We the people" no longer have the capability to move things back toward where it is that a majority of populace actually reside. Also, a substantial portion of our voting population, primarily made up of those in the various minority communities, have become far too comfortable in they're receiving of taxpayer funded "entitlement" benefits that seem to be never-ending. It should be obvious to all that it is very unlikely that any of those who receive these "entitlements" would ever be willing to vote for those who would wish to put an end to them. So with a large segment of our population has already been taken out of the equation for change, which leaves us with just that many fewer people to work with in our effort to keep things from deteriorating any further. So it becomes all the more important to convince those that we have left and are the most apt to actually listen regarding the importance of the task at hand. And it will be an uphill battle for sure, because we are working from a place where we have a distinct disadvantage. And what is very obviously missing here is a sense of any degree of genuine outrage seen as coming from a significant number of the American people. Granted, we those who make up the Tea Party movement, but comparatively speaking, it's not a large enough number.
The Democrat Party has many powerful allies who are ready, willing and eager to assist them in any way possible in the successful advancement of their cause. Those that can be counted on as being among those allies are the State Run media, Hollywood, and many, many rich individuals who are more than willing to part with large sums of their personal wealth if work will be done to accomplish their specific objectives regarding the dismantling of our country. Numerous Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) disguised as "think tanks" and all with very non-descript and harmless sounding names have been fronted will millions of dollars by men with motives that run completely counter to all that America has come to stand for. The NGOs have set to work in all manner possible to slowly, and sometimes not so slowly, to eat away at the critical institutions that have made this country great. Add to them the fact that Democrats now possess a very firm grip on the media conglomerate in the country, as well as those who willingly make movies with specific themes, and the result is that we now have propaganda that is constantly coming at us and from pretty much every direction. No longer are there many movies made for pure entertainment purposes, now more often then not, there must always be some political message, sometime subliminal and sometimes not, that runs throughout the movie that more often than not ends up ruining the entire experience. No longer can we just go out to a movie to be entertained, now we must leave having "learned" something from it. It's just one more reason that what used to be pretty frequent trips to the theater has now become something vey rarely done, having been severely reduced for another reason as well, that being the exorbitant cost. And of course it goes without saying that the Democrat Party essentially owns, lock, stock and barrel, the written and broadcast news media outlets presently available here at home. And with that being the case there are very few opportunities to glean any usable information from anything watched on television or by reading anything available for pick up at your local newsstand. A reliable, unbiased source of information simply no longer exists. I suppose the closest thing out there that can even be remotely referred to as being unbiased is Fox News. But then even at that, other than Beck or maybe Hannity, there aren't many that I care to even watch there either. There is nothing which Greta, Shepard and especially Chris Wallace and, of course, "Jerry Rivers", aka Geraldo, would have to say about any topic that I would view as being usable information. Therefore, I just don't watch it because there's just nothing of value to be gained from doing so. So I'm left with a few websites as being my only sources of what I classify as being useful information. But how many of my fellow citizens are willing to go to the lengths that I go to in search of the truth and how many are content to simply listen to the likes of Mr. "Tingly" Chris Matthews or that other imbecile, and ESPN reject, Keith Olbermann both on PMS/NBC. Granted the combined viewership of both of the shows that these guys host is securely located in the basement, but that anyone watches either one of them at all, is quite amazing in itself
So, I know I may have strayed a bit from my main point, and I didn't mean to ramble. The only point that I'm trying to make here is that if the American people are really serious about undertaking a rescue mission designed to wrestle control away from those who are so determined to drive us over the cliff, then there is a certain reevaluating of priorities that's going to be required. If they're not willing to do so, then they cannot claim to be serious about trying to stop the present madness that we are now being exposed to. No one says that it's going to be easy, but anything worthwhile very rarely is. But it's something that's going to need to get done. Now of course if you are one of those who are content to sit back and enjoy our present track, then I will not expect much from you in this fight. But, should you choose to attempt to prevent me from doing what I see as being the saving of my country, that would be an attempt on your part to infringe upon my rights, and that is something that will not be tolerated. Sides are going to need to be taken, lines are going to need to drawn and arguments will need to be drafted in preparation of the coming battle for control of our country. A very limited number of opportunities remain, none of which can we afford to waste. And there is little doubt that we'll be required to get our hands dirty, because the Democrats can never fight fair. So we must be ready for anything that they can throw at us because the victory will go to those who are best prepared and who want it the most. BE READY MY FRIENDS, THE TIME IS AT HAND!

COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS!!!

While not wanting to sound like the little boy who cried wolf one too many times, the fact remains that we are, at the present time, right around 120 days away from, what has got to be, one of the most crucial elections in our history. Granted, 2012 will be just as crucial, if not more so, because it is imperative that Barry not be permitted the opportunity to continue to subject this country to another 4 years of his malignant brand of Progressivism. But first things first, we must properly deal with the election of this year. A massive and very thorough house cleaning is what is in order and needs to be what results from the upcoming Congressional elections. Democrat and Republican alike, must be made to understand that there is an excellent chance of them being sent packing if they are going to continue to refuse to listen to those who are responsible for sending them to congress in the first place. They must be brought back to reality, being made to understand that they serve at the will of the people. As well, the people themselves need to realize that if they are going to refuse to hold these career politicians accountable, that in very short order they will come to find themselves being taken very much for granted or simply ignored entirely. These pompous gasbags with an overinflated sense of importance seem to have forgotten from where they came and forgotten for whom it is that they work. They work for us, "we the people", it is not, as much as they would like it to be, the other way around! This one party rule thing that we have managed to create for ourselves has proven to be nothing of not very detrimental to our way of life and is responsible for the bringing about of some pretty dire consequences. It has directly resulted in our freedoms being decreased and our taxes being increased with all having taken place over a very short span of time. Too many lies have gone unchallenged by our lame excuse for a unbiased press, leaving the American people thoroughly exposed and vulnerable to the most corrupt administration in recent memory, with it easily ranking right up there with the administrations of Grant, Harding, and of course, "BJ" Clinton. And after only 18 months! Hey there, how's that "Hope and Change" workin for ya? Personally, I'm thinkin it sucks!! I dunno, is it just me??
We have a rabid ideologue in the White House working in concert with a blatantly unethical Congress, determined to take us down a road that has as its only destination the demise of America. That they are so determined to destroy our country is also revealed by the company they keep. For one willing to look, it is not all that difficult to see that they have formed some very questionable alliances with some very shady and dishonest groups and individuals. What should also be very apparent is that this movement to deconstruct America that is currently underway, is not strictly limited to those Democrats serving in Washington. It is, instead, like a massive web that is being spread across the entire country. Governors, Mayors, Attorneys General and many activist Federal Judges who are all very proud to call themselves "Progressive" Democrats, can all be found to be working toward the same end, America's end. It is insidious, what they are trying to do. A great amount of energy is now being focused on subverting the will of the people. I know, I know, I'm starting to sound like some crazy conspiracy nut. But if you doubt what I'm saying, go look for yourself. The evidence is out there and is not all that difficult to find. Just don't be foolish enough to be taken in by any of those who are in charge of the state run media, because they're in cahoots with the very ones plotting against us. Their job has now become one that involves them acting as ones providing the smoke screen designed to keep the people off the scent, so to speak, and distracted just long enough for our freedom to literally ripped from our grasp. Today's media has come to amount to nothing more that the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. It no longer is comprised of separate "news" organizations presenting different points of view, instead it has become essentially one large conglomerate made up of several smaller branches, with each being portrayed as being independent from the other. However such is not the case, because all are busily presenting the same rather skewed view points based on the same talking points dispersed by the democrat party. And all work tirelessly to portray, in the favorable light imaginable, the democrat party and its policies. Because of such a scenario, trust has now become something that we can no longer afford to dispense freely without first a little proof up front coming from the recipient of said trust in order to ensure ourselves that what we are offering is not being offered in vain. And they must be made to understand that once that trust is gone, it's gone for good. Fool me once shame on you and there will be no chance for you fool me again. Sometimes I wonder if there is anyone anywhere, other than my wife, whom i can really trust. Our president asks that we trust him, but I've lost count of the lies and broken promises that have sprung forth from his very mouth.
So, if we the American people, or at least those of us who still proudly call ourselves American and not some hyphenated bastardization, truly desire to rescue our country and to restore to it its rich traditions and prosperity, then we have much work to do in a very short period of time. And make no mistake, if the Democrats feel threatened in their ability to hold on to their power, then my friends, it's going to get very,very ugly, very, very fast. All the stops will be pulled out, with Barry most likely bringing out the traditional goon squads of the Democrat Party, thugs from the unions and the black panthers. But we must not allow ourselves to be intimidated, there is simply too much at stake. I thought it quite funny when I read that John Kerry Heinz, whom I believe spent a brief time in Vietnam and has created a rather fictional account of his exploits of daring do, called Rand Paul, "dangerously radical." you have to ask yourself, just what planet is this doofus from. Oh wait a minute that's right, he's from the equivalent of another planet, the planet dumbsh!t, aka, Massachusetts. You know these morons just tear me up, with all the nuts, loons and outright freaks that inhabit and are freely parading around on the left, that they have the nerve to call anyone on the right a "radical" simply boggles my mind! Ya know, it's always on our side where the crazies are supposed to be, but it's just not so! The sheer volume of raving lunatics, imbeciles and perverts on the left, and from the top on down, dwarfs any number you'll ever find residing here on the right. And we won't mention the number of vile and hateful blogs you'll find being very warmly received by those on the loony left. A bigger bunch of crackpots you will never see in your life than the merry band of brain dead misfits that make up the left in this country. Although, for them to have achieved the level of power that they have, doesn't really say much about the intelligence of the average American voter, that's for sure! God help us!!

ON FORTUNE TELLERS AND THE NOVEMBER ELECTION…

I keep hearing, and pretty much nonstop, about how it is that all this recent behavior by the Democrats to so grossly expand the size and scope of government is going to have a definite impact on the outcome of this November's election. That's supposed to be because of their outright seizure of our entire healthcare system, the nationalizing of auto companies, the student loan program, a big chunk of our financial sector and with they're now working toward trying to revive their economy killing Cap and Trade legislation. It is said that there are now a sufficient number of red flags flying to finally bring about some mass awakening where, and at long last, the long-silent silent majority out there amongst the American people will finally rise up and make their voices heard. Supposedly, the resulting flood of conservative victories that are soon to be forthcoming will be of sufficient number to enable all those Republican Party victors to put the brakes on this rapid lurch leftward that is presently underway. Far too many seem to be far too giddy, if you ask me. I've never put much faith in fortune tellers and I honestly do wish that I could raise my confidence level to the point where my enthusiasm would match that held by so many of these effervescent cheerleaders. I would love to be where I could actually believe what is being said by so many about an event that has not actually taken place yet. But I just can't seem to get there. Because it just seems as if I have been down this very same road far too many times before, times where there has been just as much euphoria prior an election of which the potential outcome was prematurely proclaimed as one that would be bringing about the equivalent of some massive rebuke of government by the public. But sadly, when all was said and done, and after the dust had finally settled, I would only once more have my hopes dashed because, in the end, the outcome proved to be so radically different than expected and 180 degrees out from what I was lead to believe that it would be. Because for whatever the reason, whether through Republican Party ineptness or rampant voter amnesia, things never quite turned out as they were supposed to. And because the record of those who are presently predicting this huge victory looming just over the political horizon is far less than being acceptable, I will be extremely nervous right up to the time that I see the final election results. And also quite worrisome to me, is the fact that if it is true that the Democrats themselves see the handwriting on the wall, or have read the proverbial tea leaves that foretell of the changing political winds that will effect their electoral chances this fall, can anyone out there possibly imagine all of the political chicanery that will be forthcoming and the level of it which we will all be witness to, between now and November 2 of this year? Barry is already making some very threaten noises, that must be taken very seriously, about using his presidential pen to arbitrarily make millions of illegal immigrants suddenly…legal residents, and therefore able to vote. Now, it doesn't necessarily take a rocket scientist to figure out just who it is that those millions of brand spanking new voters would be voting for. DUH! And that would be the final fiscal nail driven through any chance of us ever being able to wrestle our country away from the Democrats and thus achieve the opportunity to rescue our entire way of life. And that my friends is their game plan, to conceive of a way that will prevent us from yanking the wheel out of their hands and steering the country back more toward the right. It would seem that Democrats, as a rule, and no matter at which level of government, or even out of government for that matter, possess a certain level of loathing when it comes to how they view our country. As well, they are very determined in their efforts to seek out new and ever more inventive ways to bring about our country's demise. Their ability to remain in political power seems to be the singular driving force behind all that they do or wish to do. There is an axis of evil in America today, and it is made up of Democrats, many of those in the state run media as well as a substantial percentage of those who comprise the various minority communities in this country. The individuals involves are all acting in concert and have as their primary mission the complete destruction of America as it currently exists. The question is, are there enough us left outside of these groups to be able to thwart their efforts and to save our country for our children.
There continues to be far too many on our side who insist on referring to Barry as being incompetent, but I think the real issue here, as well as the one that is in most urgent need of being addressed on some level, is the growing problem of "voter incompetence." It’s a fact that there is an inherent laziness among many, and is seen as being needless by many more, when it comes to actually feeling any sense of urgency to actively go in search of where it is that a political candidate may stand on any particular issue. It’s simply just so much easier to listen to the opinion of some talking head on television and to then go with the flow. And then of course, as always and just like clockwork, at every election time we are continually forced to contend with that certain minority group, that bastion of free and independent thinkers, commonly known to all as the African-American community. These folks could not care less where a candidate stands on absolutely any issue except for, of course, any issue related to their favorite cause, themselves. What is of paramount importance to them is to ensure that the expanding of government entitlement programs continues and increases the benefits that are available to them. This, the most paranoid, insecure and racist segment of the American electorate, is the one that can always be counted on as being firmly imbedded within the ranks of the Democrat Party, and willing to vote exactly as told by their Democrat Party overseers. As a community, they possess very little concern regarding the condition our Republic is in or in which direction it may headed, as long as it isn't toward those who expect to work in return for benefits received. The fact that we are now so close to going down the tubes matters very little to these people, except for maybe a very small minority within this minority. They are already essentially wards of the State, that fact having been accomplished through essentially their own actions. It's like, once a slave always a slave with only the face of their master having changed. And I've always been more than just a little curious about exactly why it is that they don't see that. Or do they, with any self-respect that they may have at one time possessed, simply having dried up to the point that they just simply no longer care. Or is it because this community of individuals, thanks to the Democrat Party, are able to keep their hands buried deeply into the pockets of those of us who actually work for a living and pay taxes. Which is exactly how we got to where we are, with them thinking that all they really need to do to virtually guarantee the keeping of the gravy train on the tracks and moving, is to simply continue to vote for the Democrats, no matter what. What makes things all the more crucial regarding our being able to survive, is that if the Democrat Party is successful in their attempt to bring to fruition their perceived treasure trove of millions of "new citizens", working Americans will be stuck subsidizing yet another group of freeloaders. Which would not bode well for the survivability of our country. To make the conscious decision to allow millions of immigrants to forgo the process for becoming a citizen will do nothing more than to encourage others to violate our laws and serve only to exacerbate and already serious problem. What we do not need to do in this country is to continue to add to the number of those individuals who seem to think it perfectly acceptable to have others be the responsible party for paying for their way through life. What is it about those who make up the vast majority of these individual minority groups that allows them to assume that they are somehow better than the rest of us. How exactly is it that they feel no obligation whatsoever to society and at the same time so entitled to a free ride paid for by the rest of us? All this "fair and equitable" nonsense, is just that, nonsense. Very destructive nonsense! The bottom line here is that these individuals fit right in rather nicely with the Democrat Party elite because they too detest their country. They are only in it for whatever they can get for themselves, it matters very little that what’s being given to them is being stolen from someone else. What they have done is to sell their votes to a bunch of pandering hypocrites who will guarantee that in return for their votes they can expect to never have to actually work for what they are given. The excuse that's always used as the basis for such crap is that it’s our society that it is said to be somehow at fault for these people being unable to find a job by which they can support themselves. It's because society is always accused of being anti-something, either of being anti-minority, anti-woman or anti-gay. What society is actually proving to be is anti-white male. Because I’ll tell you what guys, if you happen to be a white male in this country, unless of course you also happen to be a screaming liberal, you might as well bend over and spread 'em, because that's all that's involved regarding what it is that Barry and the Democrats would just love to do to you. So the fortune tellers can make all the predictions they want, I'm still not sure the numbers are in our favor.

WELCOME TO AMERICA?

“Comprehensive immigration reform”, an essentially nonsensical phrase and pretty much a meaningless one. It is a phrase that can have any number of different meanings depending on who it is that you’re talking to. Regular Americans see it as something that is used by all those who wish nothing more than to turn into a reality that which essentially amounts to amnesty for the 11-18 million immigrants who are now in this country illegally. Of course our dishonest and self-serving politicians, who reside in both parties, disagree with that assessment because they see these “illegal” individuals as being nothing more than as a huge pool of potential voters while seeming to be oblivious to the fact that they are breaking our laws. Therefore they go in search of any argument they feel sounds plausible. So they make the idiotic statement that by making these illegal immigrants legal, then we’ll be better able to cope because we’ll then know exactly where they are and how many there are because they’ll “come out of the shadows.” Well in the first place, they’re in the shadows because they “know” they’re here illegally! And then those in power follow up with their claim that it would simply not be cost effective to try to deport the number of individuals that we’re talking about. Well, it certainly isn’t cost effective to allow them to stay here either! The fact that these politicians can be so cavalier, and use such pathetically weak arguments against something so fundamentally important as the protecting of our way of life and our national sovereignty, lays bare their true motivation for pushing this legislation that is so detrimental to America and on so many levels. And recently, Barry “Almighty” seems to have raised the stakes a bit by his proclaiming that he has absolutely no intention of working toward the securing of our borders unless it is part of “comprehensive immigration reform.” In a stunning revelation at a recent Arizona town hall meeting, Republican Senator Jon Kyl told his constituents that Barry “Almighty” had privately insisted that he will not secure the border until “amnesty for illegal aliens” passes first. Isn’t there a name of that type of conduct? And isn’t it more than just a little unseemly to be seen coming from our president? Anyway, according to Kyl, Barry argued that Democrats would lose their bargaining chip for any type of amnesty if the government beefs up its presence on the chaotic border. “The problem is,” Barry allegedly told Kyl, “If we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.” So for Barry “Almighty”, and so many politicians, the safety and security of the American people has now been reduced to nothing more than pure politics. That this type of behavior is seen coming from the President of the United States is reprehensible. Add to this statement, Barry’s recent threat of making this whole amnesty thing a reality through the simple use of his presidential pen and we have a situation here that very clearly borders on a blatant abuse of presidential power. And this amnesty sentiment is something that seems to be running rampant throughout the Barry administration. A case in point is Barry’s Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who as such, is supposed to represent American workers. What you most likely are completely unaware of is that she is a longtime open-borders sympathizer who has always had a rather radical definition of it means to be "American." At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los Angeles some years ago, Ms. Solis asserted, and to thunderous applause I might add, that "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not." That's right. The woman in charge of enforcing our employment laws doesn't give a hoot about our immigration laws -- or about the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream and those who didn't.
And where else but in America would it be tolerated for a leader of another country to be invited to speak before our governing body and to then be permitted to dictate to us how it is that we should go about the conducting of our internal affairs. And what does it say about the supposed leaders here in our country who when witness to such an event, fail to offer up any kind of a stern rebuke. Such was the case when Felipe Calderon, president of Mexico came to Washington not long ago. Not only did he receive a very warm welcome from our members of Congress and from our president, even though his government has repeatedly offered assistance to those coming here illegally, he also received a standing ovation from the Democrats in Congress regarding his comments as they related to Arizona’s recently passed immigration law. This useless piece of sh!t needs to be as energetic toward keeping illegals from coming to America in as he as on keeping them out of Mexico, it’s just what a good neighbor would do. And it might be better if he were to pay much more attention to goings on in his own country before he comes north of the border to offer a critique of ours. And those Democrats who so enthusiastically gave him that standing ovation made it very clear on that day that they no longer stand in favor of our nation of laws. And they no longer deserve the privilege of being allowed to serve the people. Because they have failed us through their rather politically skewed priorities.
Perhaps President Calderon would prefer that we implement the same immigration laws as those of Mexico:
1. If you migrate to this county, you must speak the native language

2. You have to be a professional or an investor. No unskilled workers allowed.

3. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, all government business will be conducted in our language.

4. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.

5 Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office.

6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs.

7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

8. If foreigners do come and want to buy land that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted. You are not allowed waterfront property. That is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.

9. Foreigners may not protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no badmouthing our president or his policies, if you do you will be sent home.

10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail.
And now our stellar President is suing to invalidate the Arizona law that addresses illegal immigration. How dare he, or anyone for that matter who is not being forced to experience the violence being forced on the people of Arizona, tell these people what they can do or cannot do to protect themselves. And why is he incurring the enmity of even his own Democratic Congressmen from the Phoenix and Tucson areas by trying to kill a law that two-thirds of Arizona and a similar proportion of America as a whole supports? And it’s a law that does nothing more than that same federal law does that Barry “refuses” to enforce. There is a very straight forward and easy answer: It is a desperate, last-ditch attempt to rebuild his sagging popularity with America's Hispanic voters. It’s these voters who are furious at Barry for failing to keep his election-year promise to promote “comprehensive immigration reform” when he had his super-majority in Congress standing at the ready and at his disposal to do his bidding. They now seem to be deserting the president and his party in droves. This is all further evidence of the low level of significance that Barry places on ensuring the safety and security of the American people. And since rising unemployment, a sagging economy and their sharp disagreement with Barry over social issues doesn’t help the president's cause any, he must find other ways of appeasing those who favor having those who are currently breaking our laws being provided with amnesty. So Barry has now seized upon the Arizona immigration law as a symbolic target, hoping to accomplish through a lawsuit the political task of rebuilding his base. Don’t forget that in 2008, Barry “Almighty” won precisely the same share of the white vote that Sen. John Kerry won in 2004. There was a shift among whites, as Barry won more young whites and lost more older ones, but the white vote ratios as a whole remained constant. His entire margin of victory was based on two factors: a) The African-American vote rose from 11 percent of the total in 2004 to 14% in 2008 and who, using race as their only qualifier, virtually all voted for their anointed one; and, b) Latinos, who had backed Kerry by only 10 points, supported Barry by 50 points. For Barry “Almighty” to have a shot at keeping Democrats in control of Congress, he must replicate the enthusiasm of 2008 among minorities. But his Hispanic flank is definitely weakened. Hence the political rationale which serves as the sole motivation for Barry’s bringing lawsuit, he hope to shore up that weakened support.
The solution to viable immigration reform is really a very simple one, ad you don’t to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. The difficulty arises in trying to get our politicians to create it and to then actually implement it. Priorities need to be realigned and politics needs to be removed from the process. Granted some reform is needed, but it must be stressed that we will welcome people here, but it by our standards, not theirs. “Realistic immigration reform” would consist of a policy that would adopt a three-part program designed to dry up the jobs that attract illegal migrants in the first place. When there are no jobs, they will not come and those who are here will go back home without deportations or roundups. They will essentially self-deport when there is no longer a reason to come here.
What we need to do is to:
-- Strengthen penalties and enforcement of laws barring people and companies from hiring illegal immigrants. Those who do so should face prison time.
-- We need a foolproof national biometric ID card so employers can tell who is legal and who is not.
-- We should implement a broad guest-worker program to bring upscale and manual workers into the U.S. to fill our labor-force needs. They must get at least the minimum wage and have health benefits. But, when the job is over, they must go home.
However, the Democrat Party won't wok to establish such a program because the unions won't let them and because they want illegals to stay here and become Democratic voters. Although you would think the unions would favor stricter immigration policies. Republican agri-businesses won't go for it because they want to exploit illegal workers with low pay and bad work conditions. But this is the solution and it will work. Trying to seal the border always makes for good rhetoric but is a hopeless task. Drying up the jobs that bring illegal immigrants here is something we can and must do. And if the current batch of those now serving in Washington refuse to do it, well then, they simply need to go. Democrat or Republican, it is now time to sending them packing and this November seems like the perfect time to me to send home as many as we can!

WELL FOLKS, ITS OFFICIAL, THE WHEELS HAVE NOW COME OFF!

With us now most assuredly on the road to financial as well as economic ruin, courtesy of Barry and the Democrats, I think it pretty darn safe to say that the wheels have effectively come off of this little thing that we so fondly refer to as the land of the free and the home of the brave. Although, what I'm not entirely sure about, is whether they just came off because of neglect on the part of the people or, if Barry and the scumbag Democrats purposely took them off, with “We the people” simply unable to stop them. But either way folks, they're definitely off. And there seems to be no sign from any of our supposed leaders, a willingness to step up and to expend the requisite amount of effort to put them back on. Because of certain actions taken, or in some cases not taken, I’m afraid that the fate of our country and the future that we all now have to look forward to bears very little resemblance to what I would have imagined just 18 short months ago. Far from trying to remedy our rapidly deteriorating economic situation, Democrats continue to take measures which, most assuredly will guarantee, that our rate of descent into the economic abyss will dramatically increase, with them apparently being quite pleased with themselves in being able to bring just such an event about. The measures taken by these rejects from an insane asylum, these career politicians, while claiming to fix our ongoing problems, have been, in point of fact, specifically designed to do just the opposite. This whole process of actively working to bring about the demise of this country has been a continuing and nonstop process going all the way back to that hero of the Democrats, FDR. It was expedited, to a certain degree, back during, surprise surprise, the Carter administration with its creation of that abomination called the Community Reinvestment Act. This little gem of leftist chicanery was then made worse, hard to believe but true, by “BJ” Clinton with the help of his willing assistant, the very squirrelly, and then Attorney General, Ms. Waco, Janet Reno. The entire blame for the collapse of the housing market that took place, as we all remember, in 2008 just before the election, can be traced straight back this very same piece of cockamamie legislation that was, and remains to this day, the very wet dream of "Progressive" Democrats. This government “created” scenario presented the Democrats with just the excuse they were looking for to literally shove through Congress, a bogus “stimulus” spending program of astronomical proportions. It was a tactic by which these boobs have now put this country so far into the hole we may never manage to crawl out. And for what? What of any substantial value exactly, has been accomplished by all of this reckless spending? Oh, wait a minute, that’s right, Barry got to assemble a nice little slush fund so that he could then go about the paying off of his Union buddies for helping to get him elected, all by way of the taxpayer. What the Hell else has been accomplished? The net result of the last 18 months of this administration is nothing more than a collapsing economy, a ludicrous foreign policy and disintegrating reputation as a trusted ally. Exactly what Barry was hoping for and has succeeded at far beyond his wildest expectations.
These pathetically corrupt politicians are nothing if not determined to bring about the ruin of our country through the exacerbating of a bad situation and, for very selfish motives, to make it worse. By enacting legislation that has zero chance to produce anything other than a financial meltdown, they wish to create a tool, of sorts, which they can then use to ensure an increased governmental involvement, which means Democrat Party involvement, in our former free market, private economy. An expanding involvement as well which will result in even a further encroachment into every single facet of our lives by Washington bureaucrats. These power hungry hacks will not be satisfied until the day comes when they and they alone are able to dictate to us everything from the food we are allowed to eat to the cars we will be allowed to drive to even which doctors we will be allowed to see and what services from said doctor we will be allowed to receive. To all you morons who thought it would be so cool to vote for this bunch of frauds, especially Barry, how's that “Hope and Change” working out for you, because for me it’s really starting to suck! I didn't vote for any of these creeps, especially Barry "Almighty"! I've voted for a Democrat only once in my in entire life and I still flog myself every day and it's been roughly 40 years. Ya know, I’ve always wondered what it is exactly, that runs through a person's mind as they step into the voting booth and make that conscious decision to vote for one of these lying pieces of dog squeeze. Granted, there is that certain minority group here in America, for whom it has simply become automatic to vote Democrat because down to a man, or woman, they possess absolutely no concern whatsoever for anyone other than themselves. As a whole, this group is pathological in its need to vote for Democrats. But you would think that at least a majority of the remaining population would be of sufficient intelligence to where they would recognize the dire consequences that voting for these gutless wonders bring upon the country. But if that were in fact the case we would not, today, be confronted with Democrat majorities in both Houses of Congress or find ourselves with a dedicated Socialist occupying the Oval Office.
So, I guess the question is, how do we get enough genuinely interested people all working together in the same direction in an effort to put the wheels back on. Now we know that that group previously mentioned will be no help, because they see the wheels going back as being nothing more than counterproductive to their basic need to have their bad behavior subsidized by the rest of us. That rest us, being the ones who see it as being nothing short of imperative that we get the wheels back on and as quickly as possible, for which there is a simple plan. Step one will actually involve us making sure that the Republican Party “leadership” is responsible enough to field actual conservative candidates and not try to push RINO's like Charlie Crist who the Party leadership initially backed, only to get stabbed in the back quite personally, by Crist. A level of commitment cannot be merely expected but must be demanded from the Party leadership. That same leadership which resides inside the beltway and is far too prone to ignore those of us out here in the field. Step two is that we citizens must be responsible enough to support the "most conservative" candidate that is seen as being capable of winning and race in the general election. It just is not reasonable, or realistic, for anyone to expect that a candidate hold exactly the same position we all do on every single issue. And we must not fall into the trap of going with some Third Party candidate because by doing so we accomplish nothing more than the shooting of ourselves in the both feet as we watch Democrats simply waltz to victory. And I guess Step Three would be that once we have committed ourselves to a candidate to do ourselves a favor by not listening to any of those in the state run media who will be doing their damnedest to convince us that our candidate just can’t win. The choice is ours, we do still have the power if we choose to use it by standing together for America and against those who comprise the monumentally corrupt political elite. Those of us who care about the future have a decision to make. Do we buy into the tripe and drivel that continues to spew from the Democrats and their allies in the state run media? Or, do we give them the amount of attention they deserve by focusing our attention on rescuing our country from those who are determined to destroy it!
