Obama Blames GOP for Problems…Again

Ask a liberal: Were Reagan’s and George H.W. Bush’s policies the reason for the booming economy of the 1990′s?  Was Clinton responsible for 9/11 and the uninhibited rise of fundamentalist Islam around the globe?  Most would say no.  But ask them if the current state of the US economy is the fault of failed policies of the George W. Bush administration and the answer you will receive is a resounding YES!

Aside from the fact that liberal’s are incapable of applying logic to a problem, why are they so quick to pick and choose?  The answer is simple,  they cannot grasp that liberal, socialist policies do not work.  The economic woes of America must be caused by some other reason.  There is no way it could have anything to do with excessive federal spending, increased reforms on the private sector (causing historical unemployment), or a complete lack of leadership in the White House.

But alas, the cold, hard truth is that our President has radical views on America, our economy and our place in the world.  As Karl Marx explained, Capitalism is necessary for Communism to be realized.   In the simplest of terms, Capitalism must fail, socialism must take hold and eventually Communism will set in just as soon as the benevolent leaders give up their power, position and money.  Obama, no doubt, seems more than happy to help the cause and destroy Capitalism under the false pretense that it does not work.

So, there he was last night on 60 Minutes, our most gracious and benevolent leader, pointing fingers at the GOP and crying wolf.  He spoke of the GOP being unwilling to make “common sense” concessions due to their “ideological baggage.”  Talk about the pot calling the kettle black (uh oh call the PC police), Obama has enough ideological baggage that even Southwest Airlines would charge baggage fees.  Obama is positioning himself to run against congress in 2012, not the GOP candidate.  Why?  Because he cannot run on his record or against any of the GOP contenders.  He has to run against congresses record and if the populist masses buy into his lies once again he might just succeed.

The GOP is far from perfect, many of the party elite are nothing more then big government Republicans.   What Obama clearly missed, as was evident in his interview last night, is that people blame the guy at the top, and in this case rightfully so, for the economic hardships that are effecting each and every one of us.  There are times to work together and there are times to stand up and say enough is enough.  This is one of those times and there is no room for failure on the conservative front.  I say, continue to stop each and every tax increase that the Obama administration tries to push through congress, continue to challenge each and every socialist program and idea that comes out of the white house, and continue to ensure the failure of President Obama’s administration, because anything less might ensure the failure of our great Nation.

Liberal Unions: Shame Shame

While we all know democratically elected politicians (specifically Republicans) are a sore spot with the Left.  Why should such simple people as the American public be allowed to choose their own government?  Well, the perfect storm is brewing in Wisconsin.  As you may know, a tragic thing (note sarcasm) occurred in November when the people of Wisconsin elected a Republican Governor who vowed to change state workers entitlements and help alleviate the ever mounting debt in The Badger State.

Talking heads on the left enjoy nothing more than to vilify Gov. Walker for doing that which he promised he would do on the campaign trail.  Why is this a shock?  It’s not.  It is nothing more than another desperate attempt by the Democrats to hold on to their crumbling empire.  Who can blame them though.  The unions pay for their campaigns, their homes, help keep them in power and sleep well at night.  The left needs unions like it needs to keep minorities poor.  Union workers have a forced dependency on Democrats as their pay, benefits and retirement all depend on corrupt politicians making deals.  And the worst part of the whole thing, those deals involve taking more of your money ( in the case of government unions) and in the case of Wisconsin, hurt the children.

This is about greed and nothing else.  Always is with the unions.  Gimme Gimme Gimme.  They do not believe that any responsibility lies with themselves to pay for their own benefits, retirement, etc.

Newsflash: Teachers should pay into their benefits at the same level as the rest of the private workforce (and so should ALL government employees).  You are not special.   Forklift operators at a Ford Tuck Plant should not make $80 an hour (true story in Louisville, KY) just for doing their job at the same place for many years.  Wanna make more than $18 an hour, contribute more (and Car companies need bailouts.  Shocking).  If you are not allowed to teach kids in New York because you abused a student, you should be fired on the spot, not collecting a salary, benefits and a retirement because of a union contract (see New York Public Schools cannot lay off 4000 former teachers).

Wake up America.  This is our Country going to Sh#t.

Congresswoman McCollum skips ‘under god’ in pledge on floor of House

‘Under God’ not important to Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum

By now most of you have heard about Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) omitting ‘under god’ as she lead the House of representatives in the Pledge of Allegiance back in 2002.  For those of you living under a rock, or “in Rio Linda” as Rush would say, a Minnesota Congresswoman openly, and on video, chose not to include the phrase ‘under god’ in the pledge on the floor of the house.  Allow a liberal to show you what they are made of and they will not disappoint.  Rep. McCollum is a tried and true lunatic and her opponent Teresa Collett is using her own words against her.

While I am not a fan of politicians attacking each other there is a need at times to call out your opponent if their radical beliefs are as extreme as Betty McCollum’s.  Keep in mind, this woman believes that Al-Qaeda is no longer a threat and also proudly supports Nancy Pelosi.

This is exactly what the TEA Party is out to change.  No more are the days of American politicians who refuse to accept America for what it is, GREAT.  No more are the days where it is deemed acceptable not to include God in the pledge of allegiance.  No More are the days where liberals try at every turn to tear down the greatest nation on the planet just to replace it with the broken, old, socialist vision of much of Western Europe.

If you live in Minnesota, regardless of your congressional district, support Teresa Collett and help put another liberal politician on the street.

Bill Maher thinks Americans are “Stupid” “like a dog”

Bill Maher joined George Lopez in trashing the American public

The ever humble, all knowing Bill Maher has once again proven to the American people that he is a fool and out of touch.  Maher, known for his useless HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher, has made a name for himself as a left wing ideologue with worn out jokes, offensive rhetoric and just plain stupid talk.  He is a typical liberal, a progressive who thinks that the American people are to simple minded and out of touch to ever make informed decisions about their lives, politics, work, or money and their only solace is big government ran by enlightened liberals, such as himself.  He felt so strongly about this that he found it acceptable to call the American people “stupid”, “like a dog”.

Recently Bill Maher went on Lopez tonight and if you were one of the 12 people who watched that show you would have seen this:

Really?  This is great.  The left is running for their lives.  They are pulling out all the stops, putting the biggest and the dumbest out there to shoot down the TEA Party, Republicans and anyone who disagrees with their progressive agenda.  What has it accomplished?  Well, for those of you who were on the fence about how crazy these people are, now you have your answer.  For those of us who always knew they were all nuts, sweet validation.

Hey Bill!  We will see who’s laughing in a few days when after we stupid dogs take back our country.

Obama calls for Latino’s to “punish our enemies”

President Obama spoke on Univision Spanish television on October 25, 2010 and addressed the Latino community in the US.  Apparently Obama feels that 1. Latino’s will decide the outcome of the 2010 elections and 2. Latino’s are not part of or hate 57% of the American public that opposes Obama and his agenda and 3.  that 57% is the “enemy” of Latino’s and Obama and the Democrats are their friends.

Before I continue,please take a minute to listen to the audio President Obama (You can’t accuse me of rebel-rousing, his words are all his own!)

What’s that you said MR. President?  You want the Latino’s to “punish our enemies” and “reward our friends”. Interesting, I thought those dangerous TEA Party “extremists” were the only ones throwing around words like “punish” not enlightened liberals such as yourself.

This is unprecedented rhetoric for a sitting American President.  Jimmy Carter hasn’t even said something this stupid (and he is the king of saying stupid sh*t).  The outrageous nature of this comment lies in the fact that Obama is calling more than half of the American public the “enemy”.  So goes the rhetoric in the age of post-partisan America.  This is dangerous language for a President to be using.  In fact, people much smarter than yours truly might say this language promotes violent retaliation.  And in my humble opinion, I agree.

Watch your back America.  Send a message to President Obama and the Democrats on November 2, 2010.

Repeal ObamaCare: The Repeal Pledge

According to a Rasmussen Reports Poll from October 18, 2010 “55% of Likely U.S. voters favor repeal of the health care law, including 46% who Strongly Favor repeal”  SEE POLL REPORT.

Most Americans are very concerned with the expensive and dangerous regulations that Obamacare is forcing on the American public.  While most Americans will not feel the effects for some time there are some regulations that all of us will feel as of January 2011.  For example, many Americans including myself have HSA accounts where we put pretax income in an account for medication, doctors co-pays, etc.  I purchase all needed medications, prescription and over-the-counter, with my HSA card and while the need for medication in my household is very limited, the savings involved are very nice.  Well, thanks to the anointed one, over-the-counter medications are no longer covered by HSA accounts.  Add to that increased insurance costs and someone who doesn’t work for a living is looking at some health coverage on me and you.

It’s time to take action and Repeal ObamaCare.  Visit The Repeal Pledge website and get involved.  Sign the pledge, ask your representatives or nominees if they have signed the pledge.  Challenge friends, family and government officials to sign the pledge.  If they refuse, are they the right candidate for you?
