Those DAMNED obstructionist Republicans!!!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: Congress, Democrats, Obama, Politics, Republicans, government

This is going to be a very short and simple post because I’m getting tired of seeing Democrat political hacks in this administration blaming “obstructionist” Republicans from preventing Obama from getting his agenda items passed.  I am no way a Republican supporter – I am not a registered Republican.  However, I think the record needs to be set straight.  We’ll let the facts speak for themselves:

Number of Total Senators = 100

Number of Democrat Senators = 58

Number of Republican Senators= 40

Number of Independent Senators = 2 (Both caucus with Democrats).

Number of votes needed to pass ANY legislation = 51

Can someone please tell me how the Republicans are obstructing anything?  Even with Scott Brown coming in – that will give the Republicans 41 votes and the Democrats 57 (not including the Independents).  The Republicans could not mount any kind of defense of any freakin bill.  So – how exactly is it that the Republicans are blocking passage of any bills in the Senate?

Total Number of Representatives in The House – 435

Total Number of Democrat Representatives = 256

Total Number of Republican Representatives – 178

Total Number of Independent Representatives = 0

There is currently 1 vacant seat.

Number of votes needed to pass ANY Legislation (51%) = 222

Again – even in the House – they have 34 more people than is required to pass legislation.  Again, the Republicans don’t have enough to mount a defense against any bill.

Between the House and The Senate – They are both controlled by a large enough majority that any bill written could be passed without a single Republican vote.  The Republicans can essentially stay at home for all of 2010 and twiddle their thumbs.  They had no power in 2009 – the have no power in 2010.  All Scott Brown will do now is enable the Republicans to mount a filibuster.  That just means that Harry Reid can no longer shut down debate whenever he feels like it.  You need 60 votes to shut down debate.  Filibusters eventually end – and – in the end – the Democrats will still have enough votes on their own without Republicans to pass whatever the hell they want.

Before you moonbats on the left start declaring Republicans as “The Party of No” and “obstructionists” I suggest you look to the Democratic party itself.  The only one’s obstructing Obama’s agenda are Democrats.  The reason they keep looking to the Republicans and blaming them is because the Democrats don’t want to be the only one’s caught holding the bag when this house of cards coming falling down.  They want to be able to point at the Republicans and say “They voted for it too!”  The Democrats own every piece of legislation passed in this country since 2007.  They and they alone are responsible for the total destruction of this economy because of their policies.  They and they alone have the majority vote without Republicans.

You see – we’re awake now – and – we know who is to blame.  Sure, Republicans are scumbags too – that’s why they are no longer in power – but – now we see who the BIGGEST scumbags are – progressive democrats that hate this country and the individual liberty and freedom it affords us.  Democrats and Obama own this mess.  Stop blaming Bush and the Republicans – they haven’t been able to mount any kind of defense in the last 4 years.

Obama does in 1 year what took Bush 8 years to accomplish!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: A Nation at Risk, America, Obama, P-BO, government

When Bush entered office in 2001 – the national “on-the-books” public debt was $5.7 Trillion (don’t buy in to that bogus lie that Clinton left a surplus – we were still in debt).  When he left in 2009 – the national “on-the-books” public debt was $10.0 Trillion. The Bush administration pumped up spending and the national debt by $4.3 Trillion!!

So – Obama comes in with a $10.0 Trillion national debt – as of today – those figures stand at:

Figures on government spending and debt (last six digits are eliminated). The
government's fiscal year runs Oct. 1 through Sept. 30.
Total public debt subject to limit Jan. 22		12,245,872
Statutory debt limit					12,394,000
Total public debt outstanding Jan. 22			12,302,465
Operating balance Jan. 22				   142,454
Interest fiscal year 2009				   383,365
Interest fiscal year 2008				   451,154
Deficit fiscal year 2009				 1,417,121
Deficit fiscal year 2008				   454,798
Receipts fiscal year 2009				 2,104,613
Receipts fiscal year 2008				 2,523,642
Outlays fiscal year 2009				 3,521,734
Outlays fiscal year 2008				 2,978,440
Gold assets in September				    11,041

Yup – $12.3 Trillion – AND – They are raising the debt ceiling by another $1.9 Trillion – that money is already spent – that’s why they need to raise the ceiling.  Obama – in one year – has increased the national debt by $4.2 Trillion!!  It took Bush – 8 freakin’ years to spend this economy in to dangerous territory.  Obama has taken only 1 year to spend the same amount that will no doubt bankrupt America.

Take a close look at those numbers up there.  Total Revenue in 2009 is $2.1 Trillion.  The national debt (as reported up there) is 6x our total revenues – and will be 7x our total revenue once they raise the ceiling.  This is totally unsustainable.  The fact of the matter is – our REAL national debt is (as of May 2009) is $70 Trillion.  That is 35x our total revenues.  No telling at this point how high that number actually is today.  It hasn’t been published anywhere yet.

Whether you are on the left, right, or middle of the political spectrum – you have to wake up and realize this is unsustainable and our country is headed for a real nightmare.  There are more foreign countries who own American land and public debt than there are American owners now.  Our crooked politicians have mortgaged our country to foreigners – and – no doubt – they will be sending in the collectors soon.

I know you guys on the left love this country and the freedoms it affords you – but – you must beg your government to stop spending now and shut off the spigot.  They need to reduce the size of government immediately and start shutting down entire departments and wasteful entitlement programs that are already unconstitutional.  If Obama can do this in just one year – what do you think he can accomplish with 3 more years?  A total destruction of this country and our economy.

I’m calling on all Americans to come out November and vote out all of the incumbents and let’s begin the reset of our government.  Then – let’s do it again in 2012 and finally rid our government of all those corrupt power-hungry politicians that care only for themselves.  We need a total reset of our government with new, fresh blood, consisting of representatives who will do the right thing, listen to we the people, and take very practical and pragmatic steps to reduce the size of government and stop the idiotic spending we have going on now. We are in a world of hurt if we the people don’t take action now and take our country back.

The BoBo Carnival of Politics – January 17, 2009 Edition

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: BoBo, Carnival, Conservative, Harry Reid, Liberals, P-BO, Politics, Religion, blogs, government, libertarian

Hi All – welcome to another great edition.  Before we get started – I recently learned that a high school buddy of mine was trapped and survived a building collapse in Haiti.  I just wanted to give a public shout-out to Lt. Col. John Christopher Thomas and say – thanks for your service – and glad you’re a live buddy!  While were on the subject – Haiti and the people are in some very serious trouble right now.  If you can’t volunteer your time or talents – please make a donation to help them out. Now – on with the show!


Conservative

Scott Spiegel presents Reid to African Americans: “I Come Too Far From Where I Started From” posted at Scott Spiegel.

I’m with you on this – Democrats have definitely manipulated the black community for political gain and power.  See the post before this one.  Great analysis.

Liberal

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Al-Qaeda Talking Points? posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.

Not really sure where you’re going with this one.  Those individuals you pointed out spoke the truth about the failures of the administration to keep the people safe.  That could have turned out much worse had the bomb actually detonated.  Just out of curiosity – what were you saying when Reid said “The war is lost?”  What about when Durbin called our marines baby killers?  What about when Kerry said our soldiers were terrorizing citizens in the middle of the night?  What about when Obama said our military was bombing villages indiscriminately?  Those were truly statements that undermined our military, our national security, and helped to truly bolster Al-Qaeda.  I think in this instance you are trying to make a case where there isn’t one.

Libertarian

Wenchypoo presents D-I-Y Economic Reform–Starving the Evil Piggies posted at Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket, saying, “Probably more in line with “money” carnivals, but it does contain some political talk in there.”

Wenchy – no problem – it does loosely fit with politics given today’s economy.  These are all good pointers.  My family has tightened the belt as well.  Given your list – it appears there is more we can do.

Miscellaneous

Steven and Debra presents Government False-flag Operations and Operation Northwoods posted at The END TIMES Hoax, saying, “Could our very own government be the enemy?”

That was indeed a very interesting read.  However, you failed to put it in context – JFK never signed off on Operation Northwoods.  You have to remember, this was just one of many potential strategies put forth to deal with the Cuba problem.  Everything is on the table during war planning.  It is then up to the President to decide what actions the military should take.

Steve Parry presents Racism In American Politics posted at The Axis, saying, “It’s about time we fight back on this.”

Great post, Steve.  One of the very first blog posts I wrote was about the hypocrisy of the Democrats regarding racism.  It was their party that started the KKK.  My most recent post points out how they use and enslave blacks just as they did when they were slave masters – only now they use social policies and laws instead of chains.  The good thing is that they have overplayed the race card and no one is buying it any longer – except for those really hard left libtards who believe anything coming from another liberal’s mouth.

News

SVB presents Can A Home Loan Modification Ruin Your Credit? posted at The Digerati Life, saying, “How one person is dealing with a home loan modification, given the credit crunch and the possibility of losing a home.”

Some great information to consider.  I personally don’t care about my FICO score.  At one time I did – but not now. With the exception of one credit card – we paid them all off and closed them.  Essentially, the only credit debt we have is our house, the one card, and a leased vehicle.  We pay for everything with cash now.  If we can’t pay for it with case – we can’t afford it.  Once the lease is up on the SUV – we’re buying a used one with cash.  I know not everyone is in the same position as I am and may not have the resources available right now – but – lowering debt by any means (not including not paying your bills) is always a good option and a loan modification shouldn’t be ruled out just because it might hurt your credit score.  That can always be fixed later.  Ten years ago I had a FICO score of 450 because of my divorce and previous marriage.  Since my divorce I have done a lot of repair and built my credit up.  I hit 780 two years ago and have been consistent ever since.  It has fluctuated as we paid off our debt and closed our accounts.  It’s odd how having money in the bank and little to no debt changes your FICO score. Maybe that’s a good topic for one of your next posts.

Politics

Super Saver presents Holding Congressional Leaders Accountable posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, “Here’s a change I’d like to see happen.”

AMEN!  We used to be able to hold our representatives and senators accountable before they put in the 17th Amendment.  Prior to 1913 – Senators were appointed by the Governor and were subject to recall whenever the people felt the Senators were not acting on behalf of the people of that state.  The 17th Amendment changed all that – that also marked the beginning of the progressive era in the U.S.  I say we need to repeal the 17th Amendment.

Ann Margrain presents Road to Terrorism posted at Heroin and Cornflakes, saying, ““Terrorism is the greatest threat of the 21st century”, a phrase often uttered by our leading politicians. But does this statement hold true?”

WOW!  I don’t know whether to laugh or be offended.  You use terrorism and the horrors of 9/11 as a lead-in to car safety?  I’m not real sure how to take that.  What you presented with regards to roads, car safety, and transport tubes is very informational.  I just think it loses its value when you lead in with something not even closely correlated.

Joe Garecht presents How to Get Elected Even if Nobody Knows You posted at Local Victory – Your Guide to Winning Elections, saying, “This recent article gives tips on how candidates can get elected, even if they are starting from square one, without name recognition.”

Those all great pointers.  Very similar to getting recognized as a blogger in the blogosphere.

DWSUWF presents Scott Brown in Massachusetts: Hope or Delusion? posted at Divided We Stand United We Fall, saying, “Obama is stumping for Coakley using the same old”Change” mantra – exactly as if the last year never happened. Does he really have so little respect for Massachusetts voters that he thinks he can just repeat the same empty campaign slogans of a year ago? I mean – we now know what “change” means. It means two massive blowout omnibus spending bills with a combined 14,000 earmarks. It means a trillion dollar “stimulus” bill that didn’t stimulate anything, was written by the House of Representatives and was predominantly a vehicle to funnel money to Democratic districts. It means a trillion dollar Health Care “reform” bill that was written by big pharma, big insurance, and big union lobbyists and does not go into full effect until 2019 when it still will not cover 28 million Americans. It means a massive escalation of the War in Afghanistan. I guess if that is the kind of “change” Massachusetts wants, they should vote for a rubber stamp like Coakley.”

Let’s hope you have a lot of readers in Massachusetts and gets the whole DWSUWF point you are trying to make.  While Brown is not what I would call a real conservative – the fact of the matter is that he is at least fiscally conservative and is on the right side of the issues.  If anything – we need him to be there just to break that supermajority.  Who’s to say though that once he gets in there that given his moderate leaning he wouldn’t vote with the Dems on other issues?   Either way – let’s hope he wins so we can break the morale of the Dems and get rid of that horrendous health care bill.  I realize you submitted this before the weekend – but – did you hear that Coakley said in a radio interview that Curt Schilling is a Yankee’s fan?  LMAO – I think that alone may have just cost her the election regardless of what potential, of at all, bump P-BO could give her.  She just offended the entire state with that comment.

Diana Hall presents Jesus killed my political apathy posted at damascusmoments.

Welcome to the world of politics.  Given this day and age, I believe everyone should be passionately engaged in politics.  It is because of our global apathy towards politics that we allowed politicians to ruin our lives and the global community as a whole.  Politicians are supposed to be servants of the people and they have by nature now become self-serving and corrupt.  Jesus knew this.  We should have all heeded his actions and remained engaged.

smrtas1 presents Obama Proposes New Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee posted at Conservative Patriot HQ.

You’re spot on with the observation that this fee covers Geithner’s failure.  If they really wanted to fix the banking crisis – the would get rid of the CRA, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac – along with a few politicians directly involved.  My wife and I had a discussion about this fee last night – if these taxes get passed on to us as fees at our bank – we’re switching to a local bank.  Right now, we pay absolutely zero fees.  There is a very reputable local bank with three branches.  They started off just 5 years ago with only 1 in my neighborhood.  They added their 3d branch this past year during the bank bailouts and they did not receive funds.  I would encourage everyone that if they are with one of those top 50 banks and the taxes are passed on to them – start researching your local smaller banks and make the move.

I blame “Independent” voters for this mess!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: America, Congress, Conservative, Democrats, Elections, Idiots, Liberals, Politics, government, health care

confusionAs most should all know by now – the Dems passed that idiotic health care bill in the Senate this morning.

The good news is it still has to go to reconciliation to combine the House and Senate bills – which – it appears there could be some serious obstacles to getting this thing passed. The bad news is that Pelosi and Reid are going to do it behind closed doors.  What ever happened to transparency? Let’s hope there will be enough outraged Dems this time around that will refuse to allow this closed door policy to pass.

But – given all things – the only ones to blame for this mess are those so-called “Independent” voters who are always in the middle of the road – afraid to commit.  During this last election everyone knew how the left was going to vote and everyone knew, pretty much, how the right was going to vote – either McCain or some other conservative candidate. The reason Obama won was because of those so-called “Independent” voters, sometimes called “Swing Voters.”

We really can’t blame Obama or the Dems in the majority of both the house and the senate.  They are doing exactly as many of us warned the country they would do.  They are moving this country in the absolute wrong direction – towards socialism and a complete government takeover of this country.  If the healthcare bill passes – the government will control 49% of the economy and all GDP.  If they pass the Cap-and-Trade bill next year – the government will control 62% of the economy and all of GDP.

This doesn’t surprise me at all.  Myself and many other bloggers out there were constantly sounding the alarm on Obama before the election and warned of the dangers of allowing the Dems a supermajority.  But – we were called nutjobs, idiots, and talk radio zombies by the left and those “independents.”  If there is anyone to blame for all of this mess that our country now faces it is because of those idiots who now have buyer’s remorse for voting for Obama.  We warned you guys and now we’re stuck with this bullshit because of dipshits like yourself.

This is politics – there is no middle ground.  You have to take a side in politics.  It is either Yes or No.  A vote of “present” or “abstain” is not a vote.  Either you consider yourself liberal and vote for liberalism – or you are a conservative and you vote for conservatism, or you are libertarian and vote out government all together.  You idiots in the middle are the problem in this country.  At least we know what liberals, libertarians, and conservatives stand for.  You guys in the middle stand for nothing.  You guys in the middle are weak and non-committal.  What we see now is the result of standing in the middle of the road.  Our economy is trashed because of Obama and the Democrats, our housing market is trashed because of liberal policies, and now health care in this country will be trashed because of liberalism – and the only one’s to blame are you independent boneheads who voted for Obama even after you were warned constantly and consistently by those of us on the right.

This entire health care “crisis” is manufactured.  There is NO health care crisis in this country.  90% of this country has insurance (270 million – that is the total population 300 Mil less the 30 mil uninsured).  Of the 30 million uninsured – 10 million are already eligible for some form of coverage, either medicaid, medicare, or schip – they just haven’t applied.  Another 8 million are between the ages of 18 – 30 that CHOOSE not to buy insurance, and another 2 million make $75k or above and CHOOSE not to purchase insurance.  What this leaves is 10 million in the million who want insurance but either can’t afford it or don’t qualify for the other programs.  This means that effectively 97% of this country either has insurance or choose not to buy insurance.  Of the 90% who do have insurance – 85% are satisfied with their insurance.  So – essentially – only 18% (15% unhappy with their coverage plus the remaining 3% who can’t get insurance) of this entire country has a problem with our current system.  So, what this means is that the catalyst behind this so called health insurance crisis in this country is the result of 54 million people out of 300 million.  That, my friends, does not constitute a crisis serious enough to warrant a complete government takeover of our health care and our country.  If this were truly a health care reform bill meant to drive down the costs of health care – WE WOULDN’T NEED INSURANCE!!!!

You independent idiots bought in to the lies and now the rest of the country suffers because of your idiocy.  Thanks for nothing!  Now – go grow some balls and pick a side and stay with it.

The BoBo Carnival of Politics – December 20, 2009 Edition

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: Carnival, Conservative, Democrats, Liberals, Politics, blogs, government, libertarian

Hey all – so sorry for my apparent lack of participation throughout the past week.  It was very hectic both in the real work world and in the real family world – things are pretty busy as we ramp up towards Christmas.  There were plenty of evenings where I was just too tired to do any blogging.  I suspect my posts may be a bit sparse next week also.

Which also leads to this next announcement – this will be the last BoBo Carnival of Politics of 2009.  I will be in Virginia the following week and then the week after that is New Year’s weekend.  The next edition will be on January 10, 2010.  So, enjoy the last edition for this year!


Conservative

Joe Manausa, MBA presents Erwin Jackson Asks Tallahassee To Demand More posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, “The Tallahassee City Commission cooked up a plan to give themselves an unlawful raise by calling it something else. They called it “deferred compensation.” Yet they deferred no compensation, they continued to cash their fully-funded paychecks, and they each received an additional $22K per year!”

As a fellow Floridian – this outrages me as well, even though we are in two separate areas of the state.  I hate politicians.  Good for Mr. Jackson.  I’ll keep an eye on this issue as well.  I hope all of those commissioners go to jail.

Scott Spiegel presents Top 10 Conservatives of 2009 posted at Scott Spiegel.

A very interesting list you have compiled there.  While I agree they all belong on a list of top conservatives – I have others in mind I think I would have put up there before some you have on the list – but – then – that would be MY list . :)   A very interesting selection you have there to say the least. I think the best thing about this list – every one of those individuals listed would drive those lefties absolutely insane.

Liberal

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Dressing Down The President posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.

Good one.  I won’t say anything more – okay – just kidding..when have I ever left anything like that? LOL.  Actually, we both agree this bill needs to be killed – but – for completely different reasons.  You guys want MORE government intrusion in the lives of American people – and I want the government to quit trampling on the constitution.  This bill is unconstitutional in every variation – even the one in the house.  Also, thought you might like to know – in the House they only need 51% not 51 votes.

Libertarian

Rick Sincere presents Bill of Rights Day 2009 posted at Rick Sincere News and Thoughts, saying, “Report, with video, of the Jefferson Area Libertarians’ annual celebration of the anniversary of the Bill of Rights”

Rick – first – I’d like to thank you for enlightening me – I did not realize there was a national Bill of Rights Day.  I will keep December 15th noted on my calendar for years to come and will be actively seeking out these rallies in my area now.  Thanks for providing some great video’s and some great commentary regarding the Charlottesville area rally.  Lastly, Keith Olbermann is an idiot.

News

Archvillain presents Egregious Stupidity posted at A Dark and Sinister Force for Good, saying, “Four little words are being used to destroy our civilization: It’s for the children!”

As always – an excellent post.  One thing that I would like to add regarding that case in Boston – while we all recognize it was an attack on Christianity – this kid’s father took it one step further – he pulled the race card in to this – whereby adding another two words to what has gone wrong in this country.  Zero tolerance, parental abdication of responsibility – and – race card.  These, in addition to the other four words you mention – all fall under that other hideously dangerous term – Political Correctness.  This is a great post for everyone to read.

Politics

Grandpa Oddball presents Throw the Rascals out!! posted at GetOddNews.

Welcome to the Carnival Grandpa.  I can say, if we throw the baby out with the bathwater – then – so be it.  I’m with ya on this one and I’m sure there are many more Americans across this country that feel the same as we both do.  This is a great post.  I look forward to seeing more submissions, especially as you follow up on this post. Also, I read your “about” page.  I’m very impressed that you are able to do the blogging that you do.  My continued thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family as you continue to fight your illness(es). Keep up the great blogging!

Ann Margrain presents Corruption in Health: Addiction to Pills that Kill posted at Heroin and Cornflakes, saying, “Why would his supervisors intimidate scientists? After all, this is a government agency – not some drugs cartel from Mexico. Well, it helps to understand that in addition to campaign contributions to elected government officials and candidates, companies, and other organizations spend billions of dollars each year to lobby Congress and federal agencies. Some special interests retain lobbying firms, many of them located along Washington’s legendary K Street; others have lobbyists working in-house.”

Actually, if you want the FDA to act really quick – just let an actor or sports figure die from abusing and using them improperly.  While I certainly agree with the main points of your article – the FDA shut down all diet products made with Ma Huang (ephedra) shortly after Steve Bechler died.  There had only been 1 death that year related to ephedra – and – it was found that he was taking more than the proscribed limits.  More people die every year from accidental aspirin overdoses – yet – that product remains over the counter.  I harp on this particular drug/supplement – because it was highly effective and non-addictive.  You are on to something – I bet those other drug companies prompted the FDA to act quickly to ban ephedra so that they can continue to push their addictive supplements.  Great post.

Scott Social Media Allen presents Don’t Make New Laws – Enforce the Ones We Have posted at Scott “Social Media” Allen, saying, “The last thing we need is more laws, especially when existing laws cover the issue at hand.”

Absolutely!!  But, then again – we have more laws on our books throughout the country that most have probably never even realized were there.  So, why should we expect our government representatives to actually investigate to see if there are already laws on the books that would fit the need they are looking for – let’s just make up another law – it’s easier!  How could we citizens possibly demand our elected and selected government officials to actually do the job they were hired for? ;)

Super Saver presents Tax Credit for Golf Carts – Another Unintended Consequence? posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, “What will the politicians think of next? Perhaps the health care reform bill will include a exercise tax credit for buying golf equipment and playing golf.”

It absolutely floored me last week when John Stossel did segment for his inaugural debut on The Fox Business Network.  Talk about a huge waste of taxpayer dollars.  Thanks for posting this story and for submitting it here at the carnival.  This is another of those issues that I heard about, intended to blog about, then just got bogged down.  This is a must read for everyone.  You won’t hear this story any where on the MSM.

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of The BoBo Carnival of Politics using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

The Country is Upside-down

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: A Nation at Risk, America, Constitution, Liberals, Politics, Socialism, government

I’ve decided I’m not going to rant today.  I’m going to take a very calm approach today.  I’m sitting here watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my kids and something is just sitting here eating at me…everything seems to appear normal – but in reality – this whole country is completely screwed up right now and our constitution has been turned upside down.

The house passed a finance reform bill that would give the federal government the power to force corporations to sell off assets.  Tucked in that bill is a payoff to the Congressional Black Caucus of $6 Billion to African-American owned small businesses – with the lion’s share of it going to one individual – Percy Sutton

The EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson flat out lied to everyone and said that CO2 is poisonous, needs to be regulated, and that nothing about climategate changes the science of the global warming hoax.

Harry Reid flat out lied to the American people and said there is no public option in the health reform bill – yet – we know for sure there is. In addition to that – tucked away in the bill is a provision that would guarantee coverage for illegal aliens (2 million at least) – something that Obama promised wasn’t in there – and that Joe Wilson got excoriated for when he yelled out “You Lie” and the bill says if you don’t buy coverage you can be fined and/or go to jail not to mention a $10,000 “penalty” just for being married.

The government just paid off the American-Indians $3.5 Billion because the government mismanaged their money!  What about the rest of the American taxpayers?  The government has been mismanaging our funds for just as long as the Indians claim their funds have been mismanaged.  Since when has the government ever managed anything right?  They need to just get over it.

Congress is attempting to turn the leftover TARP money in to a Presidential slush fund to continue spending like crazy rather than do what is fiscally responsible – pay down the debt.  Congress is supposed to be the gatekeeper of taxpayer money  – yet – they continually mismanage that money.  If they were a private corporation they would already have been dissolved in court for not upholding its fiduciary responsible to the taxpayers/shareholders.

The average pay of a government employee is now $71,000 – $30,000 higher than the average private citizen.  In addition to that there has been a 19% increase in government employees who now make $100,000 or more (not including White House, Congress and DOD employees).  This is just further proof the government has gotten out of control.  The government pay scale should NEVER exceed the private sector.    While this country is at 18% unemployment and many private sector employers freezing pay to survive in this economy – the government is using our taxpayer dollars to give pay raises to themselves.

Obama quadrupled the national debt from $400 Billion when he entered in to office to $1.4 Trillion. How does this make any sense at all? – he did this in just 10 months.  Now those idiots in Congress want to increase our debt ceiling ANOTHER $1.9 Trillion!

While everyone was paying attention to the gate crashers of the state dinner (who claimed they were invited) – no one was paying attention to the fact that a convicted felon actually WAS invited to the White House.Not only was he invited – but – apparently he wrote the blueprint for the Obama agenda for getting the health reform bill, cap-and-trade, and any other socialist agenda they can think of to get passed WHILE IN PRISON.

We also learned this past week that the man hired to protect our children while they are in school also gave a speech to high school kids on the benefits of “fisting” and passed out “fisting kits” to those kids.  We also know that he is the founder of GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) you should check out his recommended reading and recommended K-12 curriculum for our school children.  Additionally, we also know that he counseled a 15 year old boy on gay sex with an adult man – and just simply warned him he should wear a condom.  He had the legal responsibility to turn the adult man in to the authorities for being a pedophile.  But then again, we also found out that his role model is the founder of NAMBLA.

One of the most powerful CEO’s in America that has his hands as deep in to P-BO’s back pockets as possible steps out and chastises OTHER CEO’s over greed?  And then two days later his company is awarded a $1.4 Billion contract to produce windmill farms?  Coincidence?  Not only that – but he is named as one of the chairmen of the board to the Federal Reserve. Is it also a coincidence that after Comcast bought out NBC – suddenly Comcast decides they too are all for the health reform agenda?  If that were true – why didn’t they say so BEFORE they bought Immelt’s network?

Then – we have one of the worst freakin’ terrorists in the world’s history getting ready to be tried in our Federal courts when precedence clearly states that all enemy combatants are to be tried by military tribunal and the federal courts have no jurisdiction over prisoners of war. NOW – we find that Obama is transferring all of the GITMO detainees to a prison in Illinois – hey – did you guys in Illinois know that?  Well – apparently – nobody else did either.  Where’s the transparency P-BO?  Gotta bring these terrorists on to American soil behind closed doors and in the dark of night?

I just need to stop here.  It’s driving me absolutely crazy.  We live in a world now where people can come right out and lie to your face and then try to convince you that either they are telling the truth – or – you’re either a hater, racist, or a nutjob for questioning the lies.  I don’t get it.  All I know is – this is NOT the America I want my children to grow up in.  I don’t want to be sitting down with my grandchildren in the future and say – you know, I remember when we were allowed to control our thermostats.  I can remember when we were allowed to go to a car dealership and pick out our own cars – whatever car we wanted.  I can remember when I could choose my own health care and my own doctors.  I can remember when I had a bank account instead of a government controlled tax fund.  I can remember when I had the freedom to practice my religion and not have to worry about being thrown in jail because I disagreed with homosexuals.  I can remember when I could own my own business – whatever kind of business I wanted – instead of being forced to work for the government at the wages the government decides.  I remember when I could say something critical of any government official and  our President and not have to worry about going to jail.  I remember when everyone had access to the Internet and it wasn’t controlled by the government.

I don’t want to be that grandfather that says…I remember when…..
