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.
The Senate race in Florida could be more competitive than it needs to be in November. I wonder when politicians will put the needs of the Country ahead of their own?
Governor Charlie Crist is now 23 percentage points behind former Speaker of the Florida House Marco Rubio, and that race for the nomination appears to be over. Mr. Rubio is picking up endorsements from the heavy hitters in Republican politics recently, and it seems the Governor is reserved to the fact that he has lost the Republican nomination.
But here’s the rub, should the Gov lose the nomination to Rubio, will he run as an independent? I think Governor Crist has been a member of the Republican party for 24 years. That is 24 years of support of his many campaigns, forwarding his policies, and providing a political machine for his ambitions. If he leaves the party and runs as an independent, he may win, but the real hazard is splitting the Republican vote and then we would have the real possibility of having that empty suit Meek as a Senator.
If you look at the polls, both Rubio and Crist whip Meek in a straight up vote. In a three way race, Rubio is still in the lead, but the margin is small. Much too close to risk putting a liberal like Meek into a Senate seat. By the way, what possessed Meek to leave a Congressional seat that would have been his for life? What a bone-head move. More on that later…
Remember the last time we split the Republican vote? Ross Perot ran for President and we ended up with that overly-sexed Clinton. (Thank God he was impeached.) Those people who voted Perot were not going to vote for Clinton. He split the Republican vote and we got Clinton elected by a plurality (another bit of solace).
Governor Crist should run against Speaker Rubio. When that winner is decided, the party should come together to ensure we smoke Meek in the general election. Senator Nelson is up for re-election in 2012, we are going to need a strong candidate for that fight. Either Rubio or Crist can run for that seat. Wouldn’t it be great to have two Republican Senators from Florida?
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!
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/
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.
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?
An event that was largely ignored by the liberal media, avoided by a socialist president who went to Minnesota, trivialized by members of the administration, laughed at by the presidential spokesman, marginalized by liberal political pundits, and underestimated by the Capitol Police, was held in Washington DC and all around the Country on Saturday, September 12. I was proud to be in the Nation’s capitol for the largest gathering of conservatives in the history of the United States of America.
The Washington Times estimated the crowd at 600,000. CNN said there were about 50,000. No matter what the crowd, I was a proud participant with many thousands of others that peacefully demonstrated at the United States Capitol.
The most striking thing that I experienced was the make-up of the crowd. After hearing the empty rants of the left calling American citizens an “angry mob,” it was great to see exactly who this angry mob was. The amount of senior citizens and families was amazing. I would venture to guess that 90% of the people I saw on Saturday have never protested anything in their entire lives. Here are a couple pictures of the “angry mob”:
This was my first excursion into the life of a demonstrator. I have always been on the other side of the line. When policing demonstrations, you are always on the lookout for escalation of emotions that could trigger ugly incidents. Even though I was in the middle of a huge crowd and could barely move or even get within several hundred yards of the stage, I never felt the slightest hint of any aggressiveness. The crowd was incredible. The people were all friendly and respectful. I was honored to be there with them.
I would ask that if you are concerned about our Country, that you continue to stay informed about the actions of our government. Support candidates that believe this Country is great. Candidates that believe in smaller government, lower taxes, and democracy.
For the first time in my life, I am going to demonstrate for a cause. I, along with two friends from work, am going to Washington DC this weekend to participate in the 912 Project March on the Capitol.
I never thought it would come to this. I never imagined the leadership of this Country would take such a huge turn toward socialism in such a short period of time. It is astonishing that people who believe in individual freedom, democracy, and capitalism have to march and demonstrate to remind elected officials of the tenets the United States was established on.
The liberal media will probably dismiss this action by saying the participants are being bussed in by the GOP, or maybe the vast right-wing conspiracy is just a bunch of hateful hicks. Well, whatever they say, I know why I am going. I believe in small government, the free enterprise system, hard work, and the freedom to live without unnecessary government interference in my life. I believe there are many millions of people who believe as I do. I hope this socialist administration realizes that they are charged with protecting all Americans, not just the misguided 65 million that voted for this “change.”
So we are marching on Saturday. If you are near DC, come on out. I’m sure there will be a few of us there!
