The Gall Of These People

The audacity of the White House is incredible.  All I hear from these people (none of whom ever had a real job where they had to create, innovate or drive the bottom line) is how the President and his policies brought us back from the precipice of financial ruin.

First of all Mr. President, how dare you underestimate the American people's spirit, the power of America's free enterprise system and the courage of the American entrepreneur.

Second Mr. President, to use one of your favorite patented lines, "let me be perfectly clear," you had absolutely nothing to do with any progress the American economy has made.  I did.  And other entrepreneurs like me. 

I used my personal credit line to save jobs in my company, not you.  I didn't put any money in my retirement account in 2009.  Instead, I used the money to pay my bills.  You had nothing to do with that.  I didn't put money in my children's 529 college savings plans either so that I could reinvest in new ideas which will create more jobs in the long-run.  You on the other had nothing to do with this.

If anything, you and your policies have made it harder for me.

I am sick and tired of you taking credit for my hard work and the hard work of other entrepreneurs.  If the fools on the left wish to ignore the truth and walk the plank for you that's their business.  Me, on the other hand, I'm no fool.

Obama's Most Disturbing Shortcoming

President Barack Obama is a petty man and his pettiness will be his downfall.  Hopefully, the collateral damage wont be too bad for the rest of us.

You need look no further than his staged Job Summit or his moronic assault on Fox News.  Here the man holds a Jobs Summit in the worst economic times in modern history and he refuses to invite the National Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Independent Business Owners and the National Association of Manufacturers all because they dared to disagree with his far left, anti-business policies.

His obsession with Fox News is equally petty. Mr. Obama miscalculated that the nation's love for him trumps free speech and as such, unleashed a terribly misguided plan to isolate the most powerful news network on television (e.g. according to the polls, it could easily be renamed The People's Network) which of course, fell flat on its face.

It is very dangerous for the Country when a man who is childish has his hands on the controls.  Pride prevents him from changing course.  As a result, we all suffer the consequences.

Healthcare Reform Does Not Have To Die

It simply needs to be bipartisan.  Most people agree that some reform is in order. The Democrats just screwed it up because they shut out the Republicans and worse...showed utter contempt for the American people's will.

I have no doubt that if the Democrats are willing to stop the bribes and the cheating and the behind closed door meetings and start involving their colleagues across the aisle good things can get done.

The only question is, can the Democrats change their ways?  On their own I doubt it. But, with the Massachusetts's election the American people took away their power so they may have no choice.

The Meaning Of The Massachusetts's Senate Race

Tonight was a complete and total repudiation of President Barack Obama's socialist agenda.  The people have spoken and they have demolished a Democratic machine more interested in preserving its power than it is in listening to the will of the people.  

The only question is, will Mr. Obama be capable of the change the people want?

Another Reason To Be Embarrassed To Be A Democrat

The latest vulgar pig from the Democratic party to insult the people of this country who dare to disagree with the way the Democratic Party is running this country is none other than Senator Chuck Schumer (D NY) who like so many other towering thinkers in the Democratic Party called Massachusetts' senate candidate Scott Brown "...a far right tea bagger."

Gosh, the Founding Fathers would be so proud.  Once again the Democrats have lowered the standard of what is considered respectable discourse to the point where the notion of any standard is rendered meaningless.

At some point if you have any manners or self respect you have to say to yourself "I've had enough of these low brow clowns."

If You Have Any Sense Of Embarrassment

If you consider yourself a thoughtful Democrat you've got to be embarrassed to admit it...

• Your leaders in the House and Senate are Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
• Your spokespeople are the likes of Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Arianna Huffington
• Al Franken was elected one of your senators
• Your leaders are shoving health-care down the throats of the American people against the wishes of the people (Not a single poll shows even a hint of support by the American people) 
• To pass this atrocious bill your leaders used tax payer money to bribe House and Senate leaders for their votes (Senators Landreaux and Nelson) 
• Your Cap and Trade bill is based on a hoax called global warming
• Your scientists lie about the facts supporting this hoax (Climategate) 
• Your head of the IRS (Timothy Geithner) is a tax cheat himself
• Your Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee is a tax cheat
• Your President is so out of touch with the War on Terror he is trying the mastermind of 9/11 in NYC against the wishes of the American people and the wisdom of the entire intelligence community
• The incompetence of your Secretary of Homeland Security nearly got 300 innocent Americans killed in an attempted Airline terrorist attack
• Your leaders failed stimulus bill didn't halt unemployment at less than 8%. In spite of the dumbest spending bill in American history unemployment shot up past 10%

I'm tired of writing.  It is making me depressed.  All I can say is "Hell of a year. Obama really was the right choice I guess."

I know, I know...it is all Bush's fault. 

If You Are A Democrat Here's What You Stand For

With the passage of this atrocious health care bill out of the senate it has become clear that if you are a Democrat you stand for two things...

Cheating and lowering the bar.

The Democrats will cheat anyway they can in order to advance their anti-religion and anti-free enterprise agenda. 

One merely has to look at Harry Reid's use of American taxpayer monies to bribe Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Mary Landreaux of Louisiana to vote for a bill they were otherwise opposed to. "I hate the bill unless of course you pay me enough money and whatever destruction it does to the rest of America is not my problem I got what I need." This is what we Americans can expect from our leadership? 

Lowering the bar...where does one start?   Not a single public opinion poll supports what the Democrats want to do.  Not one.  And what do they do?  Vote at 1:00am when no one is watching.  Just as Bill Clinton lowered the bar on the moral expectations we should have for our President, so too have the Democrats lowered the bar once again on what we can expect from our legislators.

As the Democrats and their liberal, feel good policies turned the inner cities into third world waste lands and our public schools into putrid, war zones so too will this bill take us one step closer to the destruction of the greatest health care system in the world.

Time and time again I come back to the same question...if you fancy yourself an informed, thoughtful person how could you possibly be a Democrat?  It just doesn't make sense.

If you voted for Barack Obama, be you a liberal or conservative Democrat, an independent or a disaffected Republican, congratulations on a job well done.  You and you alone are responsible for where we are headed.  And I for one will never tire of reminding you.  As an American whose rights were ignored I take it personally.

If we have to be tolerant, then so should everyone...

America, Canada , all Europe ..... needs a President like this

 
A message from:
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. 

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. 
Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians'. 

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'. 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!' 

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.' 

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.' 

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 

'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted..' 

It Is Becoming Laughable With The President

If you have a shred of intellectual honesty you had to be cringing as you watched President Barack Obama deny "three times"  to George Stephanopoulos that his healthcare plan which penalizes people up to $3,800 if they don't purchase health insurance is a tax.  To his credit, Stephanopoulos would't let President Obama off the hook. After one denial George pressed on.  After the second denial George pressed again.

This time after Obama claimed again a $3,800 penalty was not a tax, Stephanopoulos referred to the Webster's dictionary definition to which the President incredulously charged, "George the fact that you looked up the Merrriam Dictionary indicates that you are stretching alittle bit right now..." Huh?

Full text of exchange if you are so inclined

When there is a dispute over a definition don't you go to the dictionary?  Oh I get it.  We didn't go to the Obama definition dictionary. My bad.

My only question is how long and what will be the turning event when people who still live in a state of denial will wake up and say, "Hey this is not the change I voted for."     

Who Do These People Think They Are?

Fifty-six percent of the American people are opposed to the President's health care reform package and yet he still tries to push it through?

These people are either the epitome of arrogance or just plain dumb.  And it is weird, when talking to people who support the President's plan and you bring up this overwhelming statistics, they refuse to engage. This is precisely why we must stay on these people.

The President doesn't represent the people on the health care issue.  He represents his own constituency. Period.

If he really wanted to improve the system why wont he support an amendment which prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for abortions?  Because the big business of Planned Parenthood and the radical left don't want him to.

Why isn't tort reform on the table?  Because the trial lawyers who are the money supply for the Democratic Party don't want it.

Why wont he support taxing gold-plated health plans?  Because the unions don't want him to.

It is simply extraordinary that the President would try to shove a plan down the throats of the American people just to support his constituency.  Than again this The One and he knows best
