			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/march-on-wash.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-270" title="march on wash" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/march-on-wash.gif?w=152&#038;h=300" alt="" width="152" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>For the second year in a row, I will be travelling to Washington DC for the FreedomWorks 9/12 March on Washington entitled &#8220;Remember in November&#8221;.  This time my son will be going with me.  I am looking forward to participating in this event.  To be surrounded by so many patriots that realize a terrible mistake has been made with the election of our Socialist President makes you feel all warm inside.  I will again post pictures and comments from the march.</p>
<p>This rally and march should energize all freedom loving Americans to go to the polls in November and elect fiscal conservatives that will stop the crushing level of spending that continues to emanate from the Democrat party.  If you are able, I would encourage you to attend.  You will not be disappointed.</p>
<p>With the primaries over, the campaigns for many important seats are in full swing.  I continue to be impressed with Marco Rubio.  His depth of knowledge and stance on issues is refreshing.  He is running against an empty suit (Meek) and a sore loser (Crist).  Charlie said this week that now he supports the healthcare bill and would have voted for it.  That isn’t what he said when he was a Republican.  It sure looks to me like he will say anything. </p>
<p>Meek should get pummeled in this race.  Whoever advised him to give up a Congressional seat he could have held for life gave him terrible advice.  I guess it’s back to Wackenhut for Kendrick.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/budget-deficit.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-263" title="budget deficit" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/budget-deficit.png?w=300&#038;h=205" alt="" width="300" height="205" /></a></p>
<p>That’s a big number.  That is the Unites States’ debt, owned mostly by the Chinese.  I would like to thank our Socialist president for spending money like we can print all we want.</p>
<p>What is your share of the debt?  About $44,000 for every citizen.  The millions of illegal aliens in the Country don’t owe anything, because they don’t pay taxes.  They sure do cost money though, through medical, education, and law enforcement expenses, along with many other costs. </p>
<p>I don’t want to completely blame the ultra-liberal Obama administration.  The Bush administration also spent too much money, but this extremist has increased the Federal debt by almost $3 Trillion Dollars in 19 months!  President Bush increased the deficit by $5 Trillion in 8 years.  When this Obama nightmare ends in January 2013, our deficit is anticipated to be $17.4 Trillion.  Almost a $7 Trillion increase in four terrible years.  That is even before the majority of the costs associated with socialized medicine kick in.</p>
<p>We have to put the Federal government on a diet.  They have to be told by the people that pay the bills that they must stop wasting our money.  TARP, Stimulus, Government Motors, and all the other wasteful spending must stop.  Elect fiscal conservatives to office.  Tell the liberal extremists it is not okay to buy votes in congress like they did for Nelson in NE, and Landrieu in LA.  We do not have to accept this type of governance.  Throw these bums out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/marco-rubio-cover.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-255" title="Marco Rubio cover" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/marco-rubio-cover.jpg?w=227&#038;h=300" alt="" width="227" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>On Wednesday, August 11, 2010, I attended an excellent town hall meeting on Facebook.  Marco Rubio was sitting in his house at a computer being peppered with questions from the hundreds of people watching the broadcast.  I asked about five questions, but because of the vast number, he didn’t answer any of mine. </p>
<p>The thing I found most interesting and impressive was that Mr. Rubio was answering complex questions about many topics off the top of his head.  His knowledge of issues is deep and thoughtful.  You can tell he believes what he says and when he speaks, it is with confidence and conviction.</p>
<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/urinal-teleprompter.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-256" title="urinal-teleprompter" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/urinal-teleprompter.jpg?w=235&#038;h=300" alt="" width="235" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>As I watched, I couldn’t help but compare and contrast him to our Socialist President who can’t say good morning without a teleprompter guiding him.  One thing that keeps me up at night is remembering that Axelrod and Emmanuel are telling Obama what to say.  The communists and ultra-liberals have got to love the fact that Obama will say whatever they type into the teleprompter. </p>
<p>One more thing…I usually don’t comment on local politics, but there was one person I would like to urge you to vote for.  Monica Gordo is running for Judge in Miami-Dade County.  I worked with her while she was a gang prosecutor in the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office.  She would make a great judge and I urge those of you in Miami-Dade to vote for her.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/hero.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-239" title="hero" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/hero.jpg?w=300&#038;h=201" alt="" width="300" height="201" /></a></p>
<p>I wake up every day hoping to hear news that Obama was removed from office.  To even speak the name “Obama” turns my stomach.  Will the ways that he can show his contempt for the ideals our Country was founded upon ever end?  His presidency, his administration, and his friends are an embarrassment to the long and storied history our Country enjoys.</p>
<p>The United States of America has made mistakes during our history.  I believe our top redeeming quality is that eventually, we try to right our wrongs.  Changing minds, laws, and culture is a slow process.  We are certainly far from perfect, but risking a comparative argument, we are the best Country in the world.  I don’t see the exodus of our citizens and illegal guests to other countries.  That being said, what were people thinking when 65 million of them voted for this liberal extremist?</p>
<p>Back to the issue at hand…since 1968, the President of the United States has placed a wreath at the grave at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery the vast majority of the years.  Sometimes foreign commitments have kept the Presidents from going to Arlington.  This year, a President that is surrounded by liberal extremists has decided it is more important to go on vacation to Chicago than to be at Arlington on Memorial Day.  What a weak excuse for missing an important American tradition.  Obama will scurry back to Washington to honor that great American hero Paul McCartney.  That will be, I’m sure, an important national event that the President is obligated to preside over, unlike the silliness of putting a wreath at a tomb.</p>
<p>Obama is a disgrace as a President.  He does not protect this Country, he appeases our enemies, bows to everybody, and apologizes for everything.  How bad is he? He is so bad that his presidency makes me long for the good old days of Jimmy Carter.</p>

<p>On May 22, 2009, I published my first blog.  It only took four months of living under the rule of our current President to motivate me to become more active in politics.  This has been an interesting year.  It has also been an education.  (I never thought I would participate in a demonstration.)</p>
<p>I started writing a blog because I hate the direction our Country is going.  The liberal agenda is contrary to the vast majority of principles this Country was founded upon, and contrary to the majority opinion.  In writing the articles, I have had to think about what I believe, and competently defend conservative stances.  The background research done on each entry has assisted me in clarifying the issues in my own thought process.  It has made me a better debater and has also focused my arguments to be more persuasive.</p>
<p>One thing that has surprised me is how hostile and divided the opposite ends of the political spectrum are.  I have been called every name in the book.  I usually do not allow those filthy comments to be posted.  I also realize that I frequently am sarcastic, demeaning, and hostile toward those idiot liberals (oops, sorry) that believe they have some special knowledge or insight on how my life should be lived.  My friends know that I always seem to write more passionately when Obama does something that really irritates me, like calling me a right-wing extremist.  I have to say that I do enjoy writing angry and I try to illicit emotional responses from others, both for and against me.</p>
<p>Thank you for reading my blog this year.  Thousands of people have visited the site and hundreds have left comments.  This is my 40<sup>th</sup> post.  There have been times when there is so much to write about it is a little overwhelming, and then there have been weeks where I haven’t felt the motivation to write.  I would also like to thank the guys from work for the spirited discussions that have been the impetus for many of the posts.  </p>
<p>I hope to keep writing for many years to come.  Unfortunately with Obama and his hoard of extremists, I should have an almost infinite amount of material to keep me busy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/socialism.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-223" title="socialism" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/socialism.jpg?w=300&#038;h=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>After multiple bailouts of the auto, banking, insurance, and mortgage industries, the Stimulus Package, and now the assimilation of health care, we are in so much debt, I don’t think we will ever be in the black again.  This $938 billion debacle signed by the socialist now occupying the White House may push us off the cliff we have been teetering on. </p>
<p>A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon we are talking about real money.  We have to stop bleeding money.  We need to elect candidates that will enact a law requiring a balanced budget.  In an era of limited and diminishing resources, the Federal government needs to be put on a diet.  There are priorities that each of us need.  The founding fathers did a pretty good job enumerating them in the Constitution.  The past Republican administration overspent and that makes me mad.  This socialist administration is spending like they own the printing press.  They don’t, we do, and until they feel the flex of the American electorate, they will continue to bleed us for every cent they can get.</p>
<p>I truly hope the fervor over this latest spending spree holds over till November.  These elected officials are spending our money like drunken sailors and Obama is paying off congressmen like Stupak with our tax money.  Did you see that Stupak’s district got almost $1 million in airport grants two days before the vote?  Maybe the useless executive order on abortion was not the determining factor in his yes vote.  I think it would be good to see what these “servants of the people” have gotten us into.</p>
<p>I am a George W. Bush fan, but he was no fiscal conservative.  When he entered office in 2001, the Federal deficit was $5.7 trillion.  When he left office in 2010, that number had grown to $10.7 trillion.  That is an 88% increase in our debt in eight years.  I guess the only thing that kind of lessens the impact of the increase is the use of the majority of the money for post-9/11 security measures.  Of course, there were those two wars where we are still spending incredible amounts of money.</p>
<p>Since our current socialist president has taken office, he has put the checkbook to extreme use.  We may have an ink shortage soon.  Our estimated deficit at the end of this year is $14.5 trillion.  How about that, 26% in two years!  That’s not the bad news.  In 2012, when our socialist president will be thrown out of office, he will leave us with a total debt of $17.4 trillion.  That is a 63% increase in debt in only 4 years. </p>
<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/deficit1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-225" title="deficit" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/deficit1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=248" alt="" width="300" height="248" /></a></p>
<p>I would now like to thank each of those uninformed 65 million people that voted for “change” for the personal debt of $58.000 for each man, woman, and child in this Country, most of which is owed to the Chinese.  This spending has to stop.  Support and vote for candidates that will hold the line on spending and this redistribution of wealth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/squealer.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-215" title="squealer" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/squealer.jpg?w=300&#038;h=275" alt="" width="300" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>Did you ever read “Animal Farm” by George Orwell?  It seems the current socialist administration is well versed in the tactics of attacking critics of the government.  In the book, one of the pigs, Squealer, was tasked with spreading propaganda and rhetoric to consolidate the power of the government and squelch dissenters.  Our newest Squealer is Mr. John Brennan, Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.  Mr. Brennan says that critics of the Obama administration’s handling of terrorist incidents serve the goals of al-Qaeda.</p>
<p>Okay, I guess anyone that has a problem with Janet Napolitano’s assessment that the system worked concerning the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day is working for al-Qaeda.  How many times must we be insulted by this administration?  I have already been labeled and then I self-reported as a right-wing extremist, had my neighbors asked to report on me as someone that is talking negatively about healthcare, (which I also self-reported) and now I am being accused of helping al-Qaeda. </p>
<p>I would encourage you to read Mr. Brennan’s comments.  There are many examples of typical liberal elitism condescension.  Doesn’t everyone know that this administration knows what is best for us and we should follow direction like good little subjects?  He suggests that critics of the administration are hypocrites and clueless.  He also says that no one needs to lecture the administration about the fact that this nation is at war. </p>
<p>This administration never ceases to amaze me in their arrogance.  They believe that only they know what is good for us.  I know that I have zero confidence in this administration’s ability to protect the citizens against attack.  They said last week that we would be attacked in the next three to six months.  That seems like they have just accepted the fact that the terrorists will be successful.  I think it would be a good thing to try and stop that attack.  Let’s try to use intelligence resources and the vast Federal law enforcement community to protect us, rather than say…concentrate on reading Miranda Rights to terrorists after a failed attack.</p>
<p>If we survive the next three years, and if the administration allows a vote for President in 2012, I pray that the people of this Country remember that we are not socialists, we do not believe the government can solve all our problems, we are a Country built on principles of freedom and individual rights.  Come on 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/boston-tea-party.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-199" title="boston tea party" src="http://captainras.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/boston-tea-party.jpg?w=300&#038;h=182" alt="" width="300" height="182" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Happy New Year everyone!  May God bless you and your families this year.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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/</p>
<p>Now get out there and get to work!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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? </p>
<p>This administration is quick to lash out at “right wing extremists” like Americans that believe in the 2<sup>nd</sup> 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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
