Obama and Change

I have watched the events since the coronation of our new messiah with great vindication. You will have to take me at my word that I find no comfort in the fact that i and many of the Conservative pundits were right about this guy. In fact i think we were all wrong. This guy is more liberal than any of us would have ever dreamed. and one of the first things they do is pass a power grab so huge that Joe Stalin would blush. The sad part is we, the American people, are bending over and saying "give it to me! we NEED this enema" It seems we were wrong about the conservatives being the silent majority in this country. Of course toward the end of the 08 campaign, Obama sounded more like Ronaldus Magnus (Ronald Reagan) than the Republican candidate did.

I am disheartened at the level of complacency that we show toward our Government. We seem to have forgotten that WE, the people, elect the government. they work for us not the other way around. They should rely on us. Instead we have politicians saying what we want to hear in order to get elected. There seems to be no integrity in the process anymore. We rely on a national press core that pushes it's own agenda to vet our candidates for national office and, this election cycle, we have allowed them to choose the candidates they wanted to run. I am not sure that we will be able to elect anyone that will have the testicular fortitude to roll back the changes that will be made when the Spending bill gets through Congress.

I hate to sound defeatist. I REALY do but, I believe they will ignore the will of the people that put them there in the arrogant notion that they know what is best for you. Better than you know your self. I really think we could flood the halls of congress with calls, faxes and letters expressing our displeasure at the ‘stimulus’ bill they are trying to enact and it would make no difference what so ever.

That being said, I will not be one that will call for an armed revolt. There are many that think it is the only way to fix the mess. I do not think there is a need for that. For the last 200+ years we have had a peaceful transfer of power. I believe the Democrats will be beaten in 2012. If that happens and the transfer does not happen, we can talk about it. I do know that in 2010 the Republicans will make great strides in regaining the control we have lost over the last few years.

I do hope that we have learned a lesson and will run as what we are. Small Government, Strong National Defense and safe Homeland Conservatives. As far as a remedy, we are doing what we should be. Call Congress, your representatives, email them fax them. inundate the switchboard with messages that they are on the wrong track and we do not need socialized health care! I am just afraid there are not enough of us to make a difference.

B. Hussien Obama = Saviour?

I tell you, from the outside, the great unwashed see a savior in B. Hussien Obama. Being Christian, my wife and I think this is scary. Our President is a rock star, no offense intended to rock stars. He is like the Teflon Don. Nothing sticks to him. We know he associated with known terrorist Bill Ayers. We know he got campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage giants run by the government that all but forced the banks to make questionable loans and now need ANOTHER bailout. He got a ‘sweetheart loan’ from countrywide, another bank that needs a bail out, all of which he was in favor of. He won his Congressional seat by challenging his opponents petitions and getting enough signatures disqualified that they were removed from the ballot and so he ran unopposed.

Obama is hailed as a visionary yet, he fills his cabinet with folks that have all been there before. He promised an end to corruption yet has not proven that he is even a citizen. He promises to end the recession and yet he vows to raise taxes and expand government.

Dick Morris has written a piece for thehill.com here that warrants your attention. He describes the first term of our current President. With any luck, he will grossly over reach and Conservatives will regain some lost ground. I am hoping this happens by 2010. Either way, I fear that Dick Morris is right. Obama will change the landscape and economy of our country forever.

The systematic suppression of political speech

Over the past months there have been many reports of Campaign signs being defaced, threats being made, albeit indirectly, and then we learn of a couple of assaults that have happened over campaign signs. I truly believe that there are those people that would suppress political speech for personal gain.

Intimidation

The reports of campaign signs being defaced and stolen, The Democratic presidential nominee telling his followers to 'get in their face', speaking of people that do not agree or would not vote for him. He would like his followers to aggressively argue his case. In and of itself, this is not bad. I tend to get passionate about my political leanings, my Family and my God. I will try my best to get you to see my point of view and change your mind. If I cannot we will agree to disagree. At least I will. There is a story of a man being assaulted in a restaurant when he cut of a political discussion. The affiliations of those men are irrelevant. That was a violent attempt to silence an individual's political speech. A man was attacked because he disagreed with another’s political view point. A campaign manager's house was shot up; it is suspected, over the campaign signs in his yard in support of McCain/Palin. In the news for about a week, we have heard political Pundits warn us that since Obama has a ‘massive lead' in the polls that there will be 'trouble in major cities if the One is not elected. These are subtle attempts to intimidate people to vote in a certain way, to intimidate you and me into either voting for Obama or staying home. The news reports and poll results are all geared to get you to stay home and not vote. They tried this in o4 when we elected Bush by a narrow margin. They will do the same thing this year. They do not care that they are shooting their credibility to hell. A Socialist state is their goal and I think they may have a chance this year of electing another Jimmy Carter.

Suppression of free speech

As a case in point I would point out the Democrats discussion and apparent desire to reinstate the fairness doctrine. The fairness doctrine would move talk radio back to the era of shows on how to fatten cattle, your favorite carrot cake recipe and farm and market reports that dominated the news cycle. Another example was actually perpetrated a couple of years ago in the McCain Feingold campaign finance reform act. This act restricts the amount of money and who can give what. The SCOTUS (Supreme Court Of The United States) has since equated money and political speech and has struck down portions of the law.

Voter Fraud

This is another attempt to suppress political speech but, more than that, it is stealing. There are many allegations against the group ACORN for voter fraud. They have attempted to register Mickey Mouse and Nadda Realperson. They have claimed many times they cannot vet all of the registrations they receive. I see this as a transparent attempt to deflect blame to their employees, employees that the employer is ultimately responsible for. Now we get the word that GOP Election Board members have been tossed out of polling stations in at least half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status. This is a direct violation of a court order but, apparently, the law does not mean much in Philly.

The OBAMASSIAH

Have you seen the cover of New Yorker Magazine? It is hillarious!

But wait!!! Obama is out raged! he does not like this depiction of his extreamest views. Well Phooey. He needs to lighten up and learn how to laugh at himself. This is quickly becoming the public perception of him and his wife. and i am sure there will be more of this in the future. One can only hope that Democrats do not take to the streets and riot as the Islamists have done when their Profit has been depicted in Satire. I would not think they would, to become violent at protesets and destroy the personal property of others is to.... umm... never mind, what was i thinking?

British knife ban

I just saw this on the American Thinker, They are actually trying to ban ‘pointy’ knives!!! Because the only people that need 'pointy knives' are professional chefs... That has GOT to be the stupidest thing i have ever heard. I am not ashamed to say that I was sceptical so, I looked. I found this:

Kitchen knife ban sought May 27 2005: James Meikle Accident and emergency doctors today call for the banning of long, sharp kitchen knives, arguing they account for at least half of all stabbings.

And this:

British Medical Experts Campaign for Long, Pointy Knife Control

This is all about taking away the ability of someone to defend them selves. Guns have been taken away from the Brits a long time ago. According to Jon Dougherty © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com 'Britain, Australia top U.S. in violent crime' course that was a couple of years ago so look at this site it has a map of the countries with the highest crime rates. Notice that the countries with the highest crime rates are the countries with strict gun control laws. The same can be said of US cities that have enacted gun control laws.
God bless the 2nd amendment…

Of Men and Mice

Ok… ok… OK….

You cannot even call the inactivity on this blog a lapse since there is no track record. That and the folks that I have tapped to write for us have dropped the ball. Pete has a GREAT article in the development stages. Course it has been for 3 weeks now.

EVERY one is talking about oil prices and generally the cost of getting by. Ok so it is expensive. Every thing else will catch up at some point. Yes we need to drill for more oil and find more efficient ways of using it. We also need to find alternative forms of energy and, when they are economically feasible, they should come to the market and then the free market will decide if they are worthy. With one candidate advocating the policies that got us to this point(not encouraging local energy exploration) and the other flip, flopping on the same issue (McCain now would like to open the outer continental shelf to drilling but still opposes drilling in ANWR) the choice is getting clearer in the POTUS race. I REALLY wish Rush Limbaugh would run but he has said many times he does not want the pay cut. Sean Hanity I am not sure would run and Newt has turned into a tree hugger. ‘Our list of allies grows thin’

The supreme’s (SCOTUS) has confirmed an individual’s right to own a fire arm to protect them selves and their families. That is a good thing though the margin was a little closer that I would have liked. It is like the left in this country has decided that we peons deserve only the rights they say we can have. We should eat what they tell us, believe what they tell us, possess what they tell us we can possess. When the reality is, the Bill of Rights is a list of rights the Government has no right to limit or take away. Justice Joseph Story(Appointed to the supreme court in 1811 at the age of 32) said – Consider the right to keep and bear arms “the palladium of the liberties of the republic,” which enables the citizenry to deter tyranny.

Lets see what else happened since my last post… Rush Limbaugh has signed a contract through 2012 for $400Mill everyone is jealous and many want to shut him up just for his beliefs and his audience base. The FCC looks at the fairness doctrine again. So now we are looking at officials that are not elected, curtailing our freedom of speech. Just like the bureaucrats at the EPA can tell you what you can and cannot do with your private property. NICE....
