On Saturday, South Florida Conservatives hosted an impressive group of candidates for national office at a Freedom Forum I. There were four candidates for the House of Representatives, Robert Lowery, Corey Poitier, Edward Lynch, and Bernard Sansaricq, and Marco Rubio, a candidate for the United States Senate.
And then there was a disappointing crowd. I would guess there were about 200 people there. I don’t believe that people didn’t really know about the function. I told about 80 or so people, and it was on the blog several times and was read by hundreds of people in South Florida, and that was just me. So where was everyone? Does the win by Scott Brown in Massachusetts mean we can take a break? That win means we have an opportunity, it is not a foregone conclusion that Republicans will sweep elections in November. We must work for the wins. We cannot assume that this will happen on its own. I encourage each of you to donate money , time, or both to these candidates. Only with our support can they bring some semblance of rationality back to this Country.
Luckily for us in South Florida, there are an excellent group of conservatives that need and deserve your support. Last night I had the opportunity to hear them speak, and then talk to them as they answered questions and just talked to the crowd. I talked to my son about having the opportunity to speak personally with men that would be making the tough decisions about the direction of this Country in the future. It was an incredible experience.
Now on to the candidates…I voted for Charlie Crist for Governor. However, after hearing Speaker Rubio and looking at his platform and what he believes in, I will be supporting him. I have a problem with Governor Crist’s support of Obama’s stimulus bill. I believe the only conservative in the running for Senate from Florida is Speaker Rubio and he is the only one that I believe will stand up for conservative principles in Washington DC. To donate money or time to this campaign, go to http://marcorubio.com.
Mr. Robert Lowry is running against that idiot Debbie Wasserman-Shultz. That should be enough for you to break out your checkbook and give him whatever he wants. Regardless of his opponent, Mr. Lowry is an engaging intelligent man. I spoke to him for several minutes. He seems genuinely concerned for people and spent last week in Haiti helping with the relief effort. To donate money or time to this campaign, go to http://lowryforcongress.com.
Mr. Corey Poitier is a high school government and economics teacher in North Miami. He is running for the seat for some unknown reason vacated by Kendrick Meek. Mr. Poitier spoke about inspiring students and improving education, and being fiscally responsible. He is in a very crowded field and in need of our help. To donate money or time to this campaign, go to http://poitierforcongress.com.
Mr. Edward Lynch also spent the last week in Haiti. It is so inspiring to see leaders go out of their way to help in times of crisis. He talked about one of my favorite topics: Energy Independence. He spoke about the large amounts of money we send to people who don’t even like us, and the fact that we have plenty of oil here, we just need to access it. This would also create thousands of jobs. To donate money or time to this campaign, go to http://electlynch.com.
Last, but certainly not least is Mr. Bernard Sansaricq. This is a man that makes you want to stand up and shout “God Bless America” when he describes why he is running for Congress. Mr. Sansaricq is a former President of the Senate in Haiti. He spent his teen years in America, and after Aristide was placed in power by Clinton, he came back to America and became a citizen. He is an inspiring speaker that is running against that crook and impeached Federal Judge Alcee Hastings. How Hastings continues to get elected is mystifying. Please support Mr. Sansaricq in his race. To donate money or time to this campaign, go to http://sansaricq4congress.org.
Okay, there is my report on Freedom Forum I. Please join me for the next one and support conservative candidates. Together we can affect the direction of this Country. I got this today from a good friend. It is definately worth your time to watch!
I thought it was appropriate that on the one year anniversary of our national catastrophe, we pause to reflect on the direction of this Country. I started to write this blog just 4 months after the inauguration of our socialist President. It didn’t take a clairvoyant to see that the liberal policies of this administration would drive us to the brink of bankruptcy, socialism, and a total break-away from the principles that made this Country great.
As we as a Country were looking into the abyss, one small beacon of light appeared in the Northeast. It wasn’t Scott Brown, he just happened to be the name on the ballot. The true patriots were the people of Massachusetts. Descendents of the people that suffered through the Boston Massacre and stormed British ships to have a giant Tea Party and said NO to taxation without representation, overlooked partisan politics and sent a message to the liberal elites in Washington that even though Democrats outnumber Republicans in the State by a 3 to 1 margin, a Republican was elected as a Senator.
This is an important day. We should look back and resolve that we will not let the media force feed us a candidate by censoring information for their own liberal agendas. It makes me feel all warm inside that we can count on the American people to see through the spin, half-truths, and outlandish campaign rhetoric. The people of Massachusetts reminded the elected officials that they work for us. This should make Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of the Democrat party shake in their boots.
I never thought I would ever have these words come out of the end of my fingers…thanks to the people of Massachusetts for slowing down the march toward socialism. Thanks for standing up and saying no to big government, high taxes, and government takeovers. God Bless You.
In this current era of a grumpy electorate, of which I am a proud member, it is the little hints of elitism that go mostly unnoticed that burn me up. The most recent example from the Democrat Party is the sense of entitlement to a Senate seat in Massachusetts. I have seen many articles this week denouncing the fact that, God forbid, a Republican may win Ted Kennedy’s Seat! You remember Teddy, right? If you are to believe the Democrats and the disbelieving media, that “pillar of virtue’s” seat has no business being occupied by a Republican.
Here are a few statistics for your information. I know you will never hear them from the media, because remember, that seat belongs to the Kennedys. The State of Massachusetts has had 46 Senators in their history. Guess which party has had the most? Republicans at 16. There have been 15 Federalists, 9 Whigs, and bringing up the rear, Democrats with 6. I know what you are saying…Teddy was there for more than 40 years, that has to be worth something. Not to confuse my liberal friends with facts, let’s look at years in office. If you add up all the years of both seats in the Senate, there have been 377 years of service from Senators in MA. Guess who has the most, yep, Republicans, 192 years, or 51% of the time. Next in line are those Democrats with 32%. Federalists had 10% and Whigs had 8%. It doesn’t really seem like Teddy’s or even a Democrat’s seat to me.
The Republican that dares to infiltrate the sacred seat is Scott Brown. As far as the Democrats and an incredulous group of liberal media are concerned, no Republican is worthy of being a Senator from MA. It mystifies them that Lt. Colonel and State Senator Brown is actually ahead by 3 points in the most recent polls.
To his credit, Mr. Brown reminded the members of the media and the Democrat party that the vacant Senate seat actually belongs to the people of MA, not the Kennedy mob. The liberal media doesn’t seem to understand that the American people are upset. Even the traditionally liberal voters of MA can see that the socialist policies of this current administration will lead us to destruction, or at least bankruptcy.
If Mr. Brown does win Tuesday, there may be a chance to stop the government takeover of the healthcare system. If you live in MA, make sure you vote Tuesday. If you can support the campaign with a donation, I urge you to help. Here’s a link to Mr. Brown’s web site: http://www.brownforussenate.com
Lets show the media, liberal Congress members, and our socialist President what is in store for them come November.
Happy New Year everyone! May God bless you and your families this year.
I am glad 2009 is over. It was just a terrible year for our Country. Many people lost jobs, a great number of houses were foreclosed, and several terrorist attacks killed hard working people that were completely innocent. Many members of the armed forces also lost their lives defending us in far away lands.
I thank God every day that we have citizens who raise their hands and volunteer to put themselves in harm’s way. The all volunteer armed forces continue to amaze me with their dedication to freedom and selfless acts to promote democracy throughout the world.
The year 2009 will also be forever imprinted on my mind because we inaugurated a socialist president knowing full well he was incapable of governing. This administration has been a total failure. Unemployment skyrocketed, terrorists have been given rights in unprecedented situations, conservatives have been labeled as right wing extremists, and the list continues to grow. Did you see that Interpol now does not have to be subject to any American law enforcement oversight?
Well, it’s 2010. You have it in your power to stop this march toward socialism. You have the say in which direction this Country goes. The vote on every member of the House of Representatives and one third of the Senate is only 11 months away. It is up to each one of us that believe the government is not the answer to all our problems to get out and vote, and support candidates that believe in less government and lower taxes. If you have the financial resources, give money to help like minded candidates. If you have time, work on a political campaign.
The holidays are over. It’s time to get to work to change the path of America. Here is an opportunity for those of you in South Florida. The South Florida Conservatives are hosting a candidate forum at the Doubletree Miami Mart on January 23, 2010, at 5:00 p.m. Marco Rubio, LTC Allen West, and other Congressional candidates will be there to answer questions. Please join me there, and for further information, go to http://www.sflaconservative.com/upcoming-events/freedom-forum-1/
I was watching today’s General Hospital that my wife tapes to watch every evening, and much to her chagrin, President Obama preempted the program to announce that someone attempted to blow up a plane bound for America! The shocking development of a radical Muslim attempting to kill hundreds of Americans is so important, that the President decided to hold a press briefing to deliver critical information to the American people.
There must have been a typo in the graphics that were on the screen. They said that the “incident” (read that as terrorist attack) occurred on Christmas Day, December 25, last week. If that’s true, did our Panderer in Chief get the memo? I guess he could throw some of his socialist underlings under the bus for not bringing this “incident” to his attention while he was playing golf in Hawaii.
Remember that this is the President that not 2 months ago, was being talked about as being too visible. He loves to give interviews, unless you are with Fox News. He picks football and basketball games, loves to spread disinformation about his socialist policies, and forward his leftist agenda. However, when it comes to labeling terrorists or defending this Country, he is nowhere to be found. Don’t you feel safe with him and Napolitano watching out for the safety of your families?
This administration is quick to lash out at “right wing extremists” like Americans that believe in the 2nd Amendment and are anti-abortion, but when a Muslim extremist attacks this Country, we hear crickets. Has anyone heard an update on that piece of garbage that attacked Ft. Hood?
I was going to write about our 12 TRILLION in debt that is projected to be 21 TRILLION in 10 years, but that will have to wait for the next post. This socialist President is an embarrassment to the ideals and founding principals of this Country. I can’t wait for 2012.
It’s a great time of year. The Christmas season always is hectic, but it is very enjoyable. We will be heading to Disney for the week, but before we go, I wanted to wish each of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and a Happy New Year.
I have a difficult time not ripping our socialist president even during Christmas, but since he doesn’t believe America is a Christian country anyway, I guess it really doesn’t matter. I still don’t understand how you sit in a church with Reverend Wright for 20 years and don’t believe anything, then again, maybe I do.
The President just got home from that debacle of a conference in Copenhagen. Luckily for us, Obama wasn’t able to convince the world that America was totally evil and we should foot the bill for this alleged “Global Warming Catastrophe.” It seems China doesn’t bow down to the rest of the world’s leaders like our apologist does, so no agreement could be made. Isn’t that pathetic? We have to root for the Chinese to muck up the waters in order for us not to be shackled by the rest of the world.
Back at home, the outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled a vote to take over 1/6th of the American economy on Christmas Eve. Doesn’t anybody in D.C. believe holidays should be spent at home with your family?
After the holidays, it will be time to work on removing this rubber stamp congress from power. South Florida Conservatives will be hosting gubernatorial candidate Speaker Marco Rubio and Congressional candidate Lt. Col. Allen West at a forum on January 23. I urge everyone to view the You Tube video with LTC West. He is a strong conservative voice. Contact me for information.
I was thinking that it doesn’t pay to be a member of Congress that follows the party line, whichever party you belong to. It is far more valuable to be someone that is always undecided. If the party can always count on your vote because you vote to the extreme left or right, there is not a lot of reason to pay you for your vote.
The current healthcare reform vote is an excellent example of this. The Democrats are so desperate for votes, they have made millions of dollars worth of concessions to those representatives that were “concerned” or “undecided.” Those words are code for “you have to pay for my vote,” or “what are you going to give me to help you rape the American people?”
Do you really believe that there are Senators and Representatives that are uncertain of their position on healthcare reform? It’s as if they have never considered the question and they want us to believe that they are still developing an opinion on this issue. That is ridiculous. I feel the same way when a Supreme Court nominee says they don’t have an opinion on abortion. Are we really supposed to believe they have never pondered this before?
Why do we put up with this form of horse trading to run a Country? Our tax money, taken from us under threat of criminal prosecution, is given out by elected officials to other elected officials to secure votes to take more tax money from us that will be used to buy more votes, etc. etc.
We have to end this cycle of violence against the American people. There are very good reasons to have an efficient and productive government. I believe that the government has gotten too vast for our own good. Government, particularly the Federal government, needs to be placed on a diet. This continued grab for areas of the economy to be socialized has been shown through history to be a failed model. I’m sure our socialist president loves this expansion, but this is not sustainable. When more people find out they can vote themselves more benefits to the detriment of the Country’s health, we will collapse under our own debt.
I saw a great bumper sticker this week. It read: Socialism is a great idea until you run out of other people’s money. We are fast approaching that barrier with Obama driving this socialist bus. I can’t wait till 2012!
It has been a couple of crazy weeks around the house, so I have not been able to write. There has been much going on in our almost socialist Country since President Obama got his fake Nobel, so let’s spend a few minutes catching up…
A tragedy that is both devastating and infuriating is the attack of unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood. My heart, prayers, and sympathies go out to the families of the patriots killed and wounded in the attack. May God grant you the comfort that only He can. In hard times like these, lean on the Lord and He will provide comfort to the inconsolable.
Now to the issues that really make me mad about the information released on the incident. Shortly after the first reports of the attack, we heard that the FBI stated this is not a terrorist event. Why in the world would they say that? There is NO WAY they could possibly know that so soon after the attack. Now it turns out that the shooter was under investigation for 6 months and tried to contact Al Qaeda. My local fish-wrapper, The Miami Herald, posted a poll today asking readers if the government should investigate if the attack was a terrorist incident. Can you believe that? What an insane question. I guess we should just wonder if there is a coordinated plot to kill Americans. Thankfully, brave police officers responded and shot this low life. I’m sure he will be hanged as a traitor soon. Military justice moves much more quickly than civilian courts.
Secondly, the elections in New Jersey and Virginia were ignored or dismissed by several members of the head socialist’s administration. I guess a Republican Governor in New Jersey is no big deal. I’m sure I saw Obama campaign for Corzine, but just like the begging for the Olympics, Obama could not bring home the prize. The good people of Virginia also gave us some hope for a massacre of the liberals in November 2010 by sweeping the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General offices for the Republicans. We have to keep the pressure up and continue this momentum into the election.
Lastly, the ultra-liberal House of Representatives led by the extremist from San Francisco passed a socialized medicine bill over the weekend continuing our march to being good little communists. The vote was very close, but I’m sure the results were negotiated to protect Democrats in conservative states. Check your Representative to see if he/she voted for this debacle. Remember that in November. Now the Senate takes up the question. Let your Senators know your feelings. I believe the Senate will not pass a bill as radical as the House’s, but we need to make our feelings known.
Rally to stop socialized medicine! Stop giving away freedoms. The Federal government already owns car manufacturers, banks, investment firms, insurance companies, and mortgage lenders. Don’t give them 1/6th of the U.S economy.
When people ask me about the academic prowess of my son, which is prolific, I often say that I would not be surprised to see him win a Nobel Prize in Physics or Chemistry one day. With our socialist President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize after only 11 days in office, I guess the bar for special recognition has been significantly lowered to the point where I should start saying that I hope my son can read dramatically from a teleprompter. It is so sad that this is our new standard of excellence.
Do you remember the first 11 days of our socialist’s Presidency? I don’t really remember any earth-shattering events. I remember seeing many speeches that offered “hope and change” to the downtrodden. I remember Obama pushing a Stimulus bill that he said had to be passed immediately or unemployment might reach 8.5%. Here we are pushing 10%, I wonder why his words didn’t stop the economic collapse. His vague words of “hope and change“ were enough for those panderers in Stockholm to give an award for what he said he may do.
When preparing to write this Blog entry, I was encouraged to look at the only other sitting President of the United States to receive the award, President Woodrow Wilson. After 7 years in office, leading the Country through World War I, creating the League of Nations, and crafting the Treaty of Versailles, President Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His accomplishments seem pale in comparison to Obama’s 11 day reign over the Country, his eloquent speeches, and the thoughts of what he may be able to accomplish with just the wave of his hand.
I guess you probably get the feeling from my writing that I do not believe that President Obama deserves any prize. That is true, but giving our top socialist a prize is the result of far more nefarious motivations and social attitudes that seek to further destroy the fabric of this Country. Firstly, I’m sure Obama and his merry band of leftists truly believe that he is absolutely deserving of special recognition for his 11 days in office. As far as they are concerned, he is entitled to this simply because he has said he will deliver “hope and change,” even if he really hasn’t and he may never do anything. This insipid entitlement philosophy permeates the entire leftist movement, and is ripping the drive for excellence out of the very soul of the Country.
Secondly, by giving the savior his award, I believe the “Stockholmians” are attempting to affect the foreign policy of America. How can a Nobel Peace Prize winner order 60,000 more troops into Afghanistan to perform missions that may not always be peaceful? How can we protect liberty around the world as a Country with a leader that is a beacon of peace by sending troops carrying guns that are definitely not peaceful. This thinly veiled attempt to tie our hands will probably work in our current socialist administration.
What is truly sad is that I’m sure Obama said to himself “It’s about time, I’ve deserved this award for a long time.” He and his leftist administration delude themselves that they have actually had some affect on the world. His 2009 apology tour, as I described in my entry entitled “Panderer in Chief” must have really worked in Europe. Luckily, I, and many other Americans see through this fraud of a president and can’t wait for 2012. This awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama has shown this award is a joke.
Have you seen the coverage of the G-20 protests in Pittsburgh? What strikes me is the difference between that protest and the 912 Project protest in Washington DC. Most people in the Country did not even know a protest was held in the Nation’s capital on 9/12/09 because of a dismissive and liberal media.
In Pittsburgh, the G-20 met, which brought with it the usual gang of anti-American, anti-democratic, environmentalist wackos that are attracted to every event meant to develop trade or capitalism. In the pictures you will see the same anarchists, anti-war groups, and extremist environmentalists that were in Miami when we had the FTAA meetings. They are a pathetic group.
So, who are the demonstrators in these two marches?
912 Project:
G-20:
What were their grievances?
912 Project:
G-20:
How did they interact with the authorities controlling the marches?
912 Project:
G-20:
How many arrests were made at each march?
912 Project:
0
G-20:
More than 200
How much tear gas was used at each protest?
912 Project:
None
G-20:
A Lot
Who was called an angry mob, right wing extremists, racists, and radicals by Congressional Leaders and liberal media members?
