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.
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.
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.
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!
It is good to be home. I spent a couple weeks traveling to DC and the Northeast. My son looked at a few colleges and took a class at Georgetown, but now we are home and ready for the push to school start and November elections.
I wrote earlier about the travesty of the United States ceding territory to the drug dealers from Mexico. The people in the state of Arizona recently passed legislation that will help them stem the flow of illegal immigration into the State. The Federal government, under the “leadership” of our socialist president has seen fit to sue Arizona for passing a law that covers enforcement activity that is a Federal responsibility. Unlike that idiot Holder, I actually read the law, and it mirrors the Federal statute on illegal immigration.
Holder decided that this law was terrible without reading it. Why does the Federal government believe they are the solver of all problems? Oh yea, they are a bunch of socialists! They have healthcare, car companies, banks, investment firms, mortgage lenders, and many other institutions that belong in the private sector. Those liberals believe they know what is best for us. Now they believe that they know what is best for Arizona.
Back when Big Sis Napolitano was governor of Arizona, she sent a bill to the Republican led Federal government for the cost of incarcerating illegal immigrants. The bill was for $217 million. I guess she thought it was a good political move and brought to attention the incredible hardship illegal immigration brings to the State of Arizona. She also declared a state of emergency along the border. Now that she is part of the socialist administration, I guess this is no longer an issue.
A recent study by Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) puts the cost of illegal immigration at $113 BILLION. Guess what part of this incredible figure the feds pay for: $29 billion. That leaves the states to pick up the rest of the tab. Why shouldn’t states pass laws to protect themselves?
The people of Arizona have the right to be secure. They have the right to protect themselves from the illegal invasion of their borders. They have the right to enforce laws that the representatives of the people enact. I am pro-immigration. Besides the fact that we are all immigrants, I and my brothers are married to women born outside this Country. Let me re-phrase, I am pro-legal immigration. If the Federal government wants to increase the number of immigrants allowed in the Country, adjust the quotas. We cannot afford to let this continuous flaunting of our laws to continue. The law abiding and tax paying citizens deserve to have their taxes and limited resources used to the betterment of the Country, not to have those hard earned taxes used to pay for the consequences of illegal immigration.
Having been in law enforcement for more than 23 years, I have developed an attitude that we should not accept lawlessness. When criminals believe they can act with impunity, it is up to the official charged with protecting the citizenry to step up, take action, and return the affected areas to a condition that allows law abiding citizens to feel secure in their person. It is disgusting that the Federal government does not see this situation the same way.
Since October 2006, 3500 acres in the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge have been off-limits to American citizens because of the danger of violent drug traffickers entering the United States of America from Mexico. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service closed the area and said they have no plans to re-open it. I guess they will just ignore the problem, keep closing areas of the Country, and hope the lawlessness stops.
This situation is completely unacceptable. We cannot allow pieces of our nation, our National Parks, or our cities to be ruled by criminals. I can see the meeting with my bosses now. “Captain, there is a significant amount of gang activity in neighborhood X. Please do something about it.” I don’t think I would last very long if my response was to make the area off-limits to law abiding citizens. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service posted signs to keep us out of areas in the park. I guess I could ask them to send me some signs to put up around neighborhood X. That would do the trick! NOT! I think my bosses would say something like “If you can’t get the problem solved, we’ll find someone who can.” That needs to be done here.
We need to control our borders and punish those who cannot respect our laws. Intense enforcement action of drug and immigration laws should be vigorously implemented. It is a travesty of justice that parts of America can be closed because we refuse to stand up for law. Can you imagine shutting down portions of Washington D.C.? This is no different. We must require the officials charged with protecting the Country to do their jobs, or they should be replaced.
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.)
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.
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.
Thank you for reading my blog this year. Thousands of people have visited the site and hundreds have left comments. This is my 40th 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.
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.
Previously I have written about the dismal performance of our free and independent press in performing their duties as the watchdog for our republic. I have bitterly complained that the liberal bias shown by the mainstream media gave us a socialist president with their blind dogmatic regurgitation of the leftist talking points. Now the hand that fed them, slaps them on the nose while yelling “bad dog.”
The newest extremist put forward by the socialist administration is Elena Kagan, Supreme Court nominee. I have several problems with Ms. Kagan, and it seems members of the media do also. The first interview was done with a Whitehouse staffer asking the questions! I feel pretty confident that most media outlets would not ask difficult questions of the nominee, but having your own staff play the part of reporter is outrageous.
The video has been edited and cut together. It is easy to see that the administration is only showing us what they want us to see. I, being the helpful guy I am, decided I would try to recreate the parts of the “interview” that were deleted. Here, to the best of my knowledge, are the parts of the “interview” that are on the cutting room floor:
Administration Junior Staffer Lackey Interviewer: What is your opinion of military service and the role of the military?
Radical Supreme Court Nominee: As my good friend Senator John Kerry pointed out, we all know military personnel are baby killers and do nothing but help to oppress people throughout the world. That is why I banned them from recruiting on the campus of Harvard when I was the Dean.
Whitehouse Little More Senior Editor: That is a great point Ms. Kagan, but unfortunately that warmonger Bush got us involved in an illegal war that we are stuck in. We have to try to convince people we like the military or they won’t feel safe. We will have to skip this answer.
Administration Junior Staffer Lackey Interviewer: Ms. Kagan, what aspects of the First Amendment do you think we should repeal first?
Radical Supreme Court Nominee: As I have argued before, the motive of the government is the most important factor when restricting free speech. Government can restrict speech if the speech may cause harm. Harm is defined as incitement to violence, hate-speech, threatening or “fighting” words.
Whitehouse Little More Senior Editor: When you’re right, you’re right. We have to stop people from saying naughty things, especially if they are talking about us. Let’s do this, we will cut this answer out and after you are confirmed, you can side with the savior’s new leftist solicitor general in getting rid of this silly amendment.
I’m sure there was more, but you get the idea. We are getting another radical that no one knows anything about and the media will give a pass to because they are not doing their jobs. We need a free and independent press to protect our freedoms. We are not getting that. I would ask each of you to pray for the health of Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas, and Kennedy. If we lose one of them, we are in big trouble.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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/
