Hello Everyone!
This summer we spent a couple of weeks in the northeast looking at schools for my son, and then we spent a week at Disney. It is good to be home. Now it is time to get to work and ensure that our socialist President is a one-termer!
Have you been watching the debt ceiling fight? Obama wants to keep driving up the debt and even a few RINOs in Congress seem to want to help him. I thik it is interesting that every Democrat senator voted against increasing the debt ceiling in 2006…including Senator Obama! I think the American people are ready to seriously cut spending to get the debt under control. Obama wants higher taxes. Isn’t that a shocking revelation? A socialist wants more of your tax money to pay for unnecessary, and probably unconstitutional, government programs, like Obamacare.
That is not really news, but what I found interesting is the argument Obama is making to raise taxes. Obama said that 80% of Americans support raising taxes to deal with the debt. Ummm…I don’t think so, but let’s look at actual survey results. It turns out that Rasmussen Reports (no relation to this writer) did a survey on this question and only 34% of people support raising taxes. How did the community activist get this so wrong? I wonder if a staff member had the chart upside down?
Small business is where the jobs are in this Country. If you encourage the growth of small business more people will get to work. The outrageous unemployment rate will come down, and more people will be paying taxes instead of collecting benefits. Recently Obama said he doesn’t believe I am smart enough to understand economics, but I do understand that 80% does not equal 34%.

I always say that I think I write better when I am upset. That may or may not be true, but since we have had a Republican led House of Representatives, our socialist President hasn’t been able to forward any of his outrageous agenda. Therefore, I haven’t really been motivated to rant on the blog.
Finally, both parties did something to make me mad yesterday.
When you go to different political websites, you will see articles hailing the averted government shutdown. How can any taxpayer be happy with a $38.5 billion reduction in spending? I know I am not. That amount of money may sound like a lot, but the Republican leadership promised a $100 billion cut this year. I guess I am only 38.5% happy with them. $38.5 billion is a drop in the bucket when you realize that in the last seven days, the Federal deficit rose by $54.1 billion. So the Republican party is patting themselves on the back for a yearly savings that was wiped out in less than 5 days. I guess we get screwed the other 360.
As for those silly Democrats, they are the reason we were in this situation of continuing resolutions and last minute deals to avoid the alleged government shutdown. Remember that only about 30% of the government stops working on a shutdown. The critical public safety areas continue, and so does Congress, lucky us. You probably haven’t heard this on our state sponsored media outlets, but Congress last year, with a Democrat Senate, Democrat House, and a Democrat (or Socialist) President, neglected to pass a budget. Talk about a spineless bunch. They just kept spending money and raising the debt ceiling without passing a budget. Wouldn’t it be great to run your life like that, a total lack of fiscal discipline.
Our national debt is now at $14,273,028,684,212.22. Your share of the debt is $45,988. That is outrageous. We have to tell both parties that they need to stop overspending. We are going to collapse under the weight of this debt.

I have been a little lazy for the past couple of months when it comes to writing in my blog. Since the Democrat party was smacked around in November, there hasn’t been a lot coming out of Washington to get fired up about. I always say that I think I write better and more passionately when I’m pissed off.
I have heard many people say that with a split Congress we will have gridlock. All I have to say about that is Thank God! The last two years have been a bacchanalia of spending that had to be stopped. With Reid, Pelosi, and Obama, incredible amounts of money was spent for ridiculous programs without opposition. We got socialized medicine, government motors, and many more horrible laws that tried to turn us into good little socialists.
The American people sent a strong message. We are not a left leaning Country. We treasure personal freedom and small government. With a Republican House, our socialist President will be forced to move to the center to get anything accomplished. His abomination of a presidency is more than half over. Another reason to thank God.
In the next few months, the contenders for the Republican nomination for President will make themselves known. I hope a true conservative moves forward to take the lead. I’m sure I will have much to write about as the candidates are vetted. I doubt our party will nominate a candidate that was brought into politics by a terrorist (Bill Ayers), has no job history other than a community organizer, and believes that America is evil so he has to go on a world tour to apologize for us. And I thought Jimmy Carter was a horrible President.

I have been asked several times for recommendations on the candidates. I will give a few opinions on some of the elections.
There are a couple of races I feel strongly about…Marco Rubio is heads and shoulders above the field. I strongly encourage you to vote for him and send a true conservative to Washington. If you have access to the Miami Herald, Morin’s cartoon today is very funny. Crist is trying to get back in good with the Republicans. Too late Charlie!
Lt. Col. Allen West is running against Representative Kline in House District 22. Col. West is a strong conservative voice that will be a great servant of the people, just as he has done for the last 23 years in the Army.
Joe Garcia and David Rivera are in a nasty fight for House seat 25. These two crazed individuals are shining examples of the joke that politics has become. When discussing this race, I find myself asking “Who will they caucus with?” That makes the answer clear, vote Rivera. Garcia is an extreme liberal, and will simply do what Obama tells him to.
If I was in Broward, I would get to vote against Debbie Wasserman Shultz. Voting for the Republican would be a given. Debbie, the attack dog of the Obama administration, should be sent on her way.
There are several Constitutional Ammendments on the ballot. I haven’t researched the questions, but former Governor Jeb Bush has made some recomendations. I read his article and it sounds good to me. Here is the link to that article:
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/oct/21/jeb_amendments/news-opinion-commentary/
Last but not least, the race for Florida Governor…I am at a loss here. I have deep problems with both candidates. Ms. Sink is too liberal and supports the socialist takeover of our healthcare system, wants more stimulus money, and loves our socialist in Chief. Scott on the other hand, ran a company that defrauded the government, and ultimately you and I out of hundreds of millions of tax dollars. He has been using “his own” (read our) money for his campaign. I can’t in good conscience vote for either of these two.

Here is another record and story the Obama administration would prefer you miss. The Federal deficit for FY 2010 was $1.294 TRILLION. There is some good news, that is actually down from our Socialist in Chief’s first year deficit of a record $1.4 Trillion. For both his years in office, Obama has set the record for deficit spending. How’s that for a resume builder? I think the Democrats strategy to bury this story involves counting on most of their supporters watching Jerseylicious instead of news.
Any idea of what the deficit was in President Bush’s last full year in office? $160 Billion. This socialist and his buddies will bankrupt this Country if they are not stopped. When you go to the polls in November, vote for the fiscal conservative. We have to cut spending to get out of this mess Obama is creating.
There is some good and bad news out of the State of Florida. The good news is that Marco Rubio has increased his lead in the Senate race to over 16 points. The recent debate showed why he is the candidate to vote for. He is conservative and will stand up to help stop the insane march to socialism the current administration and congressional leadership are proposing. I would not be surprised to see him as President in 12 years.
The bad news…I am at a loss as to who to vote for Governor. Unfortunately, Scott beat McCollum and now we have to choose between an extreme liberal who will do exactly what Obama tells her (Sink), and a guy who probably defrauded the Federal government out of $300 million (Scott). I don’t think I can vote for either of them. I can’t believe Scott beat McCollum. There is no viable candidate.

I still blame millionaire Ross Perot for Bill Clinton. Perot spent millions of his own money in a failed campaign for the Presidency. Perot was (still is?) a conservative and the votes he got would have been cast for George H. W. Bush. By splitting the Republican vote, the Country got stuck with Bill Clinton who won the election by a plurality.
I have heard a lot of talk about “Tea Party Candidates” that are splitting the votes and causing havoc in the Republican Party. The people talking about the Tea Party like they are outsiders are mistaken. The vast majority of us that identify ourselves as members of the Tea Party are Republicans. We just happen to be more conservative than the recent leadership of the party.
In the November election, there won’t be three candidates in most of these critical races. The Republican will simply be a more conservative Republican. The fact that a candidate identified themselves with the Tea Party movement only means they are not RINOs. The Tea Party candidate won the Republican nomination and eliminated the establishment backed candidate in the primary.
The Republican leadership seems taken aback that conservative candidates are beating the Party backed candidate. We do not need to elect Republicans who vote like Democrats, or will be out there selling the tax payers down the river so they can “reach across the aisle.” We don’t like liberal policies, and conservative members of Congress that identify themselves with the Tea Party will help stop the insane spending that is going on in Washington.
Speaking of three candidates on the ballot…Republican Marco Rubio has opened a 9.8 point lead over a flip flopping used to be a Republican but couldn’t accept defeat Crist. Meek is so far back that he already updated his resume. I’m sure Obama will make him the Czar of something. Please support the Marco Rubio campaign. Visit his website (http:marcorubio.com) and support a true conservative. Marco Rubio will be a great advocate for conservatives, a defender of freedom, and the American way of life… things that are currently under attack in this Country.

For the second year in a row, I will be travelling to Washington DC for the FreedomWorks 9/12 March on Washington entitled “Remember in November”. 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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?
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.
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.

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.
