The Fiscal Cliff is Looming...

The fiscal cliff is looming, at least that is what the Media keeps touting these days, and why is it looming?  Because those dastardly Republicans won’t compromise with the president by throwing all of their pledges, promises and morals out the window by giving the President exactly what he wants with no argument or debate in the process.  Well, I hate to break it to the major news outlets, but that isn’t how the system is supposed to work.  Just because Obama won the election doesn’t make him the end all, be all, when it comes to how things are going to work in DC.  Obama still has to work with Congress if he actually wants to achieve anything and, as loth as he is to do it, he has to reach across the aisle and start working with Congressional Republicans.  If he refuses, as he has the last couple of years, then nothing will get done and we all will suffer for one man’s stubbornness and stupidity.  Don’t let the Media fool you into thinking that this is all because of the Republicans, they have been trying repeatedly to get things done and have been stonewalled by this administration and the Senate Democrats.

And as for the Congressional Republican…  I know that no matter how this whole fiscal cliff thing plays out you are going to look like the bad guys.  This is due to a complacent Media that refuses to do their job and report the truth; instead, they choose to worship at the feet of the idol of Obama.  Get over it and do your jobs anyway.  We put you in office to prevent Obama and his socialist agenda from destroying the foundation of this great nation, not to turn tail and cower because you are afraid of looking bad.  If you give in and help Obama destroy this nation, you will be replaced in the next election. 

If all the conservatives in this nation (and conservatives still are the majority) have to go Third Party in order to get people in DC who will stand up for conservative ideals and not cave to political pressure just because another party controls two of the three branches.  I know that this would take a while to accomplish but eventually, if the Republicans don’t wise up, they will find themselves completely out of power and a new party with have taken its place.  So please, Republicans, grow a backbone and stand strong.  If you don’t, we all lose.

The Paths That Lay Before Us

I know that I promised over twitter that I was going to post this last night, but I found that I was still so angry over SCOTUS’s that most of what I had to say would have been extremely emotionally driven and counterproductive to an intelligent conversation.

Let me start of by saying that I think SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) really dropped the ball on this one.  Not only did we have Justices that should have been required to recuse themselves (Kagan is a prime example) due to a conflict of interests, but we also had Justices that decided that in order to make the law valid, they would effectively rewrite the law to make the penalty that fell under the commerce clause a tax instead.  Of course everybody knew from the start that it was a tax but the language in the law stated that it was a penalty and that the commerce clause was what gave the authority to enact said penalty.  Well, the Chief Justice (Roberts) decided that while the current wording made the law unconstitutional, he would rule on it as if it were a tax and effectively renames it as a tax in the written statement that was presented with the Court’s decision.  Effectively, this is a declaration from Chief Justice Roberts that the Supreme Court can now use judicial activism to rewrite laws in order to fit whatever personal agenda the members of the Court have but that is not the only fall out that will come with this horrible (and in my opinion if the Justices could be held accountable, which they can’t be, illegal) decision.

The second major piece of fallout from this decision effectively gives Congress the ability to tax your actions or lack thereof.  SCOTUS basically said that by making this penalty a tax, Congress can tax you for your choice not to buy health insurance.  Taken to its logical conclusion where does this end?  Not in a good place, that’s where.  If Congress can tax you for not buying something like health insurance, what is to keep them from taxing you for not buying healthy food?  What if they want to tax you for not buying Brussels sprouts because the poor Brussels sprout farmers aren’t making enough money to cover their employees’ health insurance? (By the way, health insurance costs are going to skyrocket.) Let’s take this one step further, what if they want to tax you if you don’t vote?  What if they want to tax you if you don’t buy the exact make and model of car that they feel everyone should be forced to drive?  Do you see where I am going with this?  SCOTUS has just given Congress the power of tyrannical rule through taxes.  They have declared that Congress has the ability to tax citizens for anything that they wish as long as it is just that, a tax.

Well, now the question is, what can we do about it?  The way I see it, we only have a few options, one of which is preferable, the others are not so preferable. 

The first and best option is the one I would really prefer to have happen.  It starts with electing Romney (as much as I dislike the man I will take him over the commie in the White House right now) and gaining the majority in the Senate while maintaining the majority in the House.  Romney then will need to repeal Obamacare with the help of the Senate and the House.  After that, several Constitutional Amendments need written and put up for a vote.  One of those Amendments needs to limit the taxing powers of Congress in such a way that this can never happen again.  The next needs to limit the powers of the Supreme Court to restrict the use of Judicial Activism to rewrite laws in order to make them constitutional.  The third needs to make it to where the Justices are held accountable to the will of the people. (I personally like Tom Kratman’s approach with the amendments ate the end of “State of Disobedience” where all the justices are on the ballot during every Presidential election and the one that gets the most votes is removed and the new President gets to replace him/her with a new Justice.) Forth, we need an Amendment that states that any laws that Congress pass apply equally to the members of the ruling body.  In order for get all of that done we would have to have politicians in office with the guts to pull of that kind of bold legislation… unfortunately I don’t think politicians like that exist anymore.  After those Amendments are written, then we the people need to go and vote them in.

The second option which I don’t like as much because it would be even harder to do is to forget about winning the Presidency.  Focus only on gaining a veto-proof House and Senate, and then have them enact all the steps I laid out in the first option.

The third option I like even less.  That is revolution.  I don’t like this option because of the potential for bloodshed, but it wouldn’t be the first time blood has been shed for our freedom.  To be quite honest, the prospect of a second American Revolution frightens me, but I see it as a potential future that will become necessary in order to preserve what little is left of this once great nation.  I really hate to say that but that is one of the only ways we have left.  I hope and pray that it never gets that far.

The fourth option I dislike as much as the third.  This option involves all of the conservative states that still believe in the American Ideal of freedom announcing their succession and forming their own nation independent of the liberal states.  I dislike this option because I see another Civil War happening.  Like the first Civil War, it would be about a multitude of reasons with State’s and Citizen’s rights being at the forefront. 

I know none of these options are particularly great, but the way I see it they are all we have left aside from becoming complacent in letting our freedoms slip away faster and faster.  I was going to go into how this law is going to hurt everyone that the Libs are saying it would help but I have ran out of time for now so I will have to take that up at another time. 

Thank you for reading and remember to vote this November.  Aim for Option #1 with me please.

It Takes A Heartless Man Sometimes

OK, so Obama’s campaign has come out and said that it is all about focusing on Mitt Romney’s time with Bain Capital.  Honestly is that the best that they can do?  They are using Romney’s time with Bain to paint him as a heartless human being that cares nothing for the people that he hurts in pursuit of the all-mighty dollar.  This is clearly a misrepresentation of the job that Romney did for Bain and in my opinion the way that the Obama campaign is painting him actually helps him considering that this election cycle is more than likely going to revolve around the economy.

Now, to get things that have been twisted by the left straightened back out…  Yes, Romney worked for Bain Capital by taking companies that were going down the toilet fiscally and turning them around to where they were once again making money.  Yes this involved making hard decisions about who and what to cut from those companies which did in turn hurt people and their families as they found themselves without jobs, but think about all the jobs Romney saved in the process.  Every cut Romney had to make had to be painstakingly gone over to weight the cost verses the benefit.  If he had to cut more jobs then he saved at any one of these companies then the cost would have been too high.  The whole point of his job was to make sure that the least amount of cuts are made in order to get the company out of the red and back into the black.

Obama’s campaign is painting this as a horrible and black hearted thing that Romney was doing and, if you are a bleeding heart liberal that would rather see the entire company go under with everyone losing their job as opposed to a select few, it might be.  But the facts can’t be denied Romney did what was necessary and because of his actions, those companies survived and prospered. 

I know I have my problems with Romney; I just don’t like the man.  I think he is a lite version of Obama socially but I do recognize that when he has a job to do that involves pulling something out of the fiscal fire his track record is remarkable.  Maybe, if he is as heartless as Obama’s campaign suggests, we need someone who can look at our Government’s budget with a heartless eye and make the painful yet necessary cuts to pull us out of the hole Government has dug us into.  Both sides are to blame, don’t get me wrong, both sides put us here but whereas were digging the hole with a spade before, Obama came in with a backhoe and said “Let’s see deep we can get this”.  I hope Romney will take that same backhoe and fill the hole back in before digging with a spade again at the least, at best I hope that he can get us back into the black though I realize with the Government that is almost impossible.

In closing I say, give Romney a chance to heartlessly fill in Obama’s hole.  I realize some will get buried in the aftermath but we are in so deep because of the last 6 years that some sacrifices will have to be made by all.  We need a heartless man to repair the damage done by men with weak hearts so that a man or woman with a strong and firm heart can step in afterward.

Some Thoughts on the Eventual Republican Nominee

Well, I know it has been a while since my last post and a lot has happened in the political realm, but never fear, I am back for a little bit.  Work has gotten extremely busy for me so I have not had as much time to focus on my novel as I would like, so I have put it on the back burners for now.  This doesn’t mean that I am going to start posting regularly on my blogs once more, because more than likely I am not.  I just don’t really have the time to do that.  I do have the time to really sit down and write blog posts out regularly, much less work on my novel.  When work slows down a bit I can pick the novel back up but till then I think I will stick to sporadic blog posts.  Once I finally finish the novel, I will be back to posting regularly on my blogs while I take a break between books and start focusing on trying to sell them.  But anyway, on to what I was focus on for this post.

It looks like we finally have our Republican nomination even though Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich refuse to drop out of the race.  Technically I guess you could say that we are still in primary season, but look at our “choices”…  We have a choice between the crazy guy, Ron Paul, the career politician that idolizes FDR, Newt Gingrich, and Obama-lite, Mitt Romney.  Not really much of a choice there is it?  Not that there really is a choice left, Romney is so far ahead in having delegates that there really in no way that Gingrich or Paul can catch up.  Romney is going to have this one in the bag and that is mainly due to the people who say “anyone but Obama,” which is a dangerous attitude to have.  It is for that reason that we lost all of the truly good conservative candidates early in the primaries.  The liberal news media saw those candidates as the largest threat to Obama’s presidency and went after them full force to knock them out before they could get any serious ground.  In doing so, the liberal media effectively made the “anybody but Obama,” people say “It’s ok, anybody will be better than what we currently have so let’s not stand by the people that are clearly to best choice, drop them and move on to the next best thing.”  That kind of thinking is what has now saddled us with Mitt Romney, aka Obama-lite.

You may be wondering why I call Romney Obama-lite, well if you will recall from previous posts I referred to Mitt as Obama 2.0.  The reason I call him this is due to how similar he is to Obama in policies when it comes to things like healthcare.  Granted Mitt has publicly stated that government healthcare is a state’s issue not a federal issue but the fact remains that Romneycare was the base that Obamacare was built on.  Due to this I have pretty much determined that regardless of who wins the presidential election, we, as a nation, are screwed.

Really when you think about it, it boils down who do we want to destroy us.  Obama will take us down fast and quick, look at the job he has done so far, and our destruction will insure that the new Communist States of Obamica forms quickly, left hordes of mindless worker drones to fill the gaps left by all the sane people who fled or were killed because they were a little too free thinking.  If you don’t believe that that would happen, do some research and see what happens to educated people and people who won’t conform in communistic states.  Mitt on the other hand will take a softer approach.  Don’t get me wrong, it will be the almost same one that Obama would take, just scaled back, which, would cause it to linger on for quite a time longer then Obama’s would and be devoid of the heavy communistic leanings that Obama would employ which would also make it drag out longer.  The up note of Mitt is, even though he would kill us eventually, if we survive his term, we may survive to get a conservative in office that can fix all the crap either of these two idiots can do to us.

So, in light of Mittens being the only one that I believe we could potentially survive, I have to say this… 

VOTE MITT ROMNEY 2012,

AT LEAST HE’S NOT A COMMIE!!!

The Song Was Sung By The Fat Lady

I hate to be the one to bear bad news but I feel it necessary now.  One of the things that I feared would happen has happened.  As such, I am now calling the Presidential election.  I know, I know, you are thinking that is too early to call, but trust me when I say, no it isn’t.  No matter who wins the election at this point, none of them will be any better than what we already have in office, Barack Obama.  The real losers this election year are the American people, plain and simple.  With Michelle Bachmann dropping out there are no more real fiscal conservatives left in the running with the exception of the one person who terrifies me the most due to his global and social policies, Ron Paul.  In case you are wondering what exactly I mean, I am talking about the few choices that we have left in the Republican field. 

First, there is Mitt Romney.  If Obama had a magic mirror that would show what he would be like if he were white instead of mixed, the reflection would show Mitt Romney.  “What do you mean by that?” you are probably asking yourself.  Am I making a statement about the fact that Obama is a “black” man?  No.  I am just saying that the only difference between the two is as superficial as skin color.  As much as Mitt tries to talk about how wrong Obama is and how bad his policies have been, he can never get away from the fact that everything he has stood for in the past mirrors Obama and his policies.  Since that is the case, if Mitt gets elected to run against Obama, we will have a choice of Barak Obama the second term vs. Mitt Romney, Obama 2.0. 

Second, there is Newt Gingrich.  This little man is so twisted in his political views that half the time he is staring up his own ass.  Newt doesn’t know which way he is coming or going from, nor does her care.  He is going to keep barreling ahead, even if it means that he ends up with his head in his ass.  He calls himself a fiscal conservative but his record sings a different tune.  The man is a fan of big government and is of the opinion that government is there to help the people through increasing regulation and restrictions of freedoms.

Third, there is Rick Santorum.  This man like a spinning coin, he spins round and round.  You never know which way he is going to land till he lands and then you are not sure that you like the side he lands on, but that’s ok, he’ll just spin a little more till he thinks that you are happy.  His policies are designed to fit whomever he is directing them toward in his lackluster fashion and he will never commit to one thing or the other out of fear of offending someone, somewhere.

Forth, there is John Huntsman.  Do you know who John Huntsman is?  No?  Don’t feel too bad, most people don’t know him either.  Moving on.

Fifth, there is Rick Perry.  Ahhh, Rick Perry, lovable huggable Texan, Rick Perry…  You know what?  I am not even going to get started on him.  He is not worth the waste of space it would be to talk about.  Moving on.

Last but not least, there is Ron Paul.  Where to start with Ron Paul…  Oh, I know let’s start with the good.  Ron Paul is the only true fiscal conservative in the running.  He believes in cutting taxes as well as cutting a lot of the unnecessary and wasteful spending that goes on in Washington.  He even has the record to back up his claims of being a fiscal conservative and nobody can really dispute that fact.  Unfortunately, that is where the good ends.  On social policies, Ron Paul is a flipping nut job.  He believes that ALL drugs should be legalized and in general promotes anarchy with the rest of his social policies since he believes that ALL government regulation and control is wrong and harmful to the people enslaved by said regulation and control.  On his global policies he believes that every country should stay out of every other countries business, therefor we should let all the other nations of the world do whatever they want no matter of the potential treat it could pose to us.  This wouldn’t be a problem if every nation in the world was content on leaving each other alone, but sadly that is not the way things work.  There are real threats to the US out there that have to be addressed or else they will become a major problem.  Look at Iran, China, North Korea and Russia.  Do you honestly think that they are content to sit by and not try to bully the other nations of the world around?  No, they want to be top dog and everyone with half a brain knows it.  Ron Paul is insane if he thinks the world would ever function the way he seems to think it should.

But, despite the sour and pessimistic note I started this post on there is actually hope.  Something to strive for since the Presidency is lost.  We all need to work hard to get fiscal conservatives that have some backbone (unlike John Boehner) who are not afraid to stand up to not only the Dems, but the establishment Republicans who are content with the status quoi.  We need to fill the House and Senate with people who truly want to see this great nation rise up once again and become the light of freedom for all the world that we once were.  We need to elect people who will stand on principle and not back down because this poll or that poll says that they should.  On top of that we need to elect enough of them to get a veto proof majority so that no matter which one of these 7 losers (count Obama) gets elected into the office of President, they can’t screw up this nation any worse.  I know that electing enough to have a veto proof majority is tough.  It’s a lot harder than focusing on the Presidency alone but we are left with no choice. 

We no longer have Herman Cain or Michelle Bachmann to look too as the next Presidental hopefull.  As I said before, all the options that we have left are no better than what we have now.  We are at a crossroads with this election and I’m afraid that we may have already committed to a path that we can no longer divert from.  We have already lost the Presidency, let’s not lose anything else and maybe we will have the chance to turn this boat around and get back on the right course.

Social Security Relief... Tax Cut or Investment Cut?

I know that this is a little late but, this has been bugging me all of the Christmas holiday so I am going to address it now.  For those of you who do not know, Speaker Boehner caved in to the Senates demands that the House pass their 2 month extension of the Obama “tax cut”.   Speaker Boehner had been standing strong (or so it appeared) against the 2 month extension in order to get a 1 year extension instead.  This would be good for businesses because a tax that only lasts for 2 months guaranteed is hell on them when it comes to doing payroll, where as a 1 year guarantee will insure that the businesses will not have any surprises during the fiscal year to throw them off in accounting.  But I get ahead of myself; let me start with telling you about this “tax cut”.

The “tax cut” that Obama and Reed (as well as the majority of the Dems) have been bitching about is not really a tax cut at all… that is unless they are now admitting that Social Security is a tax.  Up until recently the Dems have always sold SS as an investment into your future for when you retire.  You pay into the system then when you reach a certain age; you get the return on the money you put in.  This would work fine if it were executed the way that it was originally intended to be executed, but instead of the money sitting there waiting for you to claim it, the Federal Government spends it in ways that it was not meant to be spent.  The fact of the matter is; the money that we as tax paying citizens put into the system is already claimed by someone or something (other programs that are deemed important) else instead of staying put for the rightful owners (the people who are paying in.. aka us) to claim at a later date. 

I, myself have said for years that this makes SS a tax as opposed to an investment and the fact that money gets given to other people rather than the ones that put it there.  By this I mean the people who are currently putting the money there, I know the people who invested in the years long gone are now getting paid for what they put in, but the simple fact is, the money they are getting is our money not theirs… theirs got wasted years ago.  I know it sounds cruel to talk about it like that but the simple fact is once we get to the point to where we are supposed to get our return on out SS investment, we will be the ones leeching off of the current generation that is paying in.  That is if SS can last long enough for us to even see a return on our “investment”.  This is one reason I supported George W. Bush’s push to allow people to invest the money that would have gone to SS in stocks instead, there would be a better chance for us to see an actual return on our money.  But once again, I am getting off topic.  Fact of the matter is, the only way that Obama and the Dems can claim what that the “tax cut” that they were pushing for is just that… a tax cut, is to say that SS is a tax which is something that they have vehemently denied for decades.

Now on to what this “tax cut”.  What the Dems want to do is provide an extension for the current “Social Security Tax Holiday” which reduces the amount of SS that is cut from your check when taxes (and your “investment”) are taken out.  The Dems did this to make it look like they could be tax cutters like the Republicans were under George W. Bush.  But the reality of the situation is this… the money that they have cut from being withdrawn goes into the SS system which is already being strained because of wasteful spending and a lack of planning ahead.  Because we are now putting less money in the system that means that when it comes time for us to get out return (once again to remind you… if SS is still around at that point, which would be a miracle) there will be even less money there for our twilight years because we put less in then we should have.  On top of that, the people who are currently receiving our money (because their money has been wasted) have less money to pull from because of the decreased revenue, therefor the Federal Government has to borrow the remaining amount that SS is supposed to cover from other countries or the Fed (but that is a whole other topic all together).

So in light of all this information you are probably wondering why the Republicans are even wanting to push for an extension on this “tax cut” period.  The answer is simple really; they don’t want to look like the party that caused people to have less take home money on their paychecks going into an election year.  It would make them look like they have compromised their principles by “raising taxes” on hard working Americans.  Of course this isn’t true, but we are talking about politics here, are you really surprised?  So it that is the reason that they are for the extension then why are they pushing to make it last a year?  Because as I mentioned before, only extending it for two months puts an unnecessary burden on employers, making them have to spend more time and money when calculating the numbers to pay their employees.  At least with a one year extension, while not good for everyone as a whole, it would help the people who create jobs which would hopefully encourage them to create more jobs since they would have more money because the taxes would be simpler. 

So why did Speaker Boehner cave then and give the Dems the two month extension instead of holding out for the one year extension like he said he would?  I don’t know.  I know that part of that deal was an agreement that they would come back in January and begin talks about a one year extension again, but if he is going to let the Dems push him around like that, then when they go to talk about them again things won’t go as he hopes.  He has placed himself in the weaker position because now the Dems know that all they have to do is lean on him a little and he will fold…  This isn’t this first time Boehner has demonstrated this lack of spine either which only encourages the Dems further.  I am sick of the lackluster leadership that the Republican Party has had in the last few years.  It is time for someone who had the guts to stand up for the good of our nation, not the good of their political career.  Yes that means looking like the bad guy (or girl) from time to time, but something has got to change, otherwise we will become a reflection of Europe and I don’t know if you have paid any attention to what is going on over there at the moment, but it is not pretty.  We need to remove Speaker Boehner and replace him with someone who has a spine and will stand for conservative principles.  If we don’t do that, nothing will change any time soon.

"I Wish That They Would Just DIE!!!"

I have seen a disturbing trend in liberal people recently, it has to do with the way they treat conservative female politicians. Mainly I'm referring to Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin. I don't know where this express hatred for those women comes from but I have heard numerous liberals calling them offensive names (I would list all of them but some of the less offensive ones are names such as bitch, whore and slut. You can use your imagination for the more offensive names) and saying that they wish they would die.

You would think it would only be men talking like this, but the fact of the matter is, it seems to be more women then men saying these offensive things. Furthermore, the women who are saying these things are the ones that belong to women's and feminist groups. You would think that, if anybody were going to stand up against the name calling it would be the people in these groups, yet they seem to encourage it. Why?

I don't hear any conservative groups talking about any women, conservative or liberal like that. Is it possible that these liberals (and by liberals I am referring to all, politicians and everyday people), despite all their talk about civility and toning things down can't take their own advice? That is what it seems like to me. I, personally, have never heard a true conservative (and just so you know I am not talking about politicians as well as the working people who are true conservatives) say any of this hate filled deconstructive rhetoric.

If I, or any other conservative out there were to call Nancy Pelosi a “stupid little whore” that needs to “shut the hell up and die for the good of the country” we would be vilified and told that we are the reason for all the decision in America. Likewise, (going to touch a little on racism now mainly because I have heard these things said about Herman Cain, even though it is slightly off topic) if I, or any other conservative, were to call Maxine Waters an “Uncle Tom” along with the “stupid little whore” and “shut the hell up and die for the good of the country” comments we would be accused of trying to incite lynching and branded a racist.

When are the liberals that are good people actually going to stand up against this kind of speech? Are they ok with it because it is being said about people that they disagree with? If so than they need to look at themselves and the ideals they claim to stand for. They will see how hypocritical they are being.

I, and a lot of the conservatives I know, disagree with Barack Obama (I know still off topic, but I feel he is a bit more of a predominate figure to use as an example). We don't want him to die. We just want to get him voted out. It is nothing personal against the man, we just think his policies are bad for the country and are bring us down, much like Bush did in the last 2 years he was in office. We aren't going to go around and call him “crack whore” just because he smoked crack at one point in his life (which he did, he admitted it proudly) and we disagree with him.

We aren't going to start calling Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, or any other female liberal any of the names that we hear them calling conservative women. Why? Because, despite the fact that we disagree with them, we still respect them as human beings. Despite all they say that we feel is one hundred percent off target, we still respect their right to have an opinion. Doesn't mean they are right, doesn't mean we are right, but at least we admit they have the right to formulate their own opinion regardless of whether or not we agree with it.

Just because Michelle Bachmann thinks that an unborn child has the right to live or believes that homosexuals make a choice to be gay due to traumatic experiences in their life, doesn't mean you have to agree with her. But to wish her dead because she believes those things? That is ridiculous.

As for Sarah Palin, she isn't even running for office, why are you libs so threatened by her? Is it because she challenges your world view? You constantly bash the woman left and right trying to make her shut up, but all you are doing is making more people take note of her message.

And as for all you women's and feminist groups out there that stand idly by watching these women get attacked and threatened, shame on you! As for the ones participating in the attacks, maybe you should go back and look at what you claim to stand for. You both allow people to denigrate women everywhere by letting these words go unchallenged. You are saying to all women that they are only allowed to have an opinion that fits your world view (which interestingly enough was formed by men) and if they dare to think anything otherwise then they are less then. You shouldn't be punishing women to think for themselves, you should be encouraging it and lifting women up that think outside the box that has been placed for them to think in.

How to Deal With Cancer, or, Time To Start Cutting

Due to the recent folding of the majority of our Republican House and Senate members on the Debt Limit Deal, the recent attacks (verbal) on the patriotic Americans that call themselves the Tea Party, and the nations first ever credit downgrade, I have decided to write this.

The Tea Party has supported the ideas of a fiscally responsible nation throughout it's short existence. These ideas haven't been the most popular with most Democrats, even the ones that claim they are working toward getting us fiscally responsible. The one thing these Dems keep insisting that we need to do to bring ourselves to fiscal responsibility is raise taxes on the wealthy. They don't seem to see the fact that such action will harm the job producers in this country, this in turn will put more people out of work, something we don't need when we such a high unemployment (9.1% of eligible workers are currently filing for unemployment, if you look at the percentage that have stopped trying in to that number you get something more like 18%).

Now, before I go any further, let me clear one thing up so not to confuse you. When I refer to the Tea Party I am not necessarily referring to the Republican party. The Tea Party is comprised of Fiscal Conservatives who want to curb spending for the good of the nation. The Republican party has members of the Tea Party within their ranks, but the Republican party itself does not represent the Tea Party most of the time, in fact it seems like they are fighting against the Tea Party because they are afraid of losing power to the whims of the people. They should be working with the Tea Party instead of against them considering that they both are supposed to be standing same ideals.

The Republicans though are afraid of the Tea Part movement due to the fact that they are now being held under a microscope by the people that they claim to represent, making it much harder for them to get away with all the self serving policies they were passing. They are so afraid of the Tea Party holding them accountable that they have begun to join the Dems in demonizing the Tea Party in an effort to push them out of the picture so that they don't have to worry about their positions.

The Tea Party (the people, not just the politicians) realizes that taxes are just going to hurt us and that the real path to fiscal responsibility is to curb the spending that has become so prevalent as time has passed. They realized that someone had to take a stand in order to stop the wasteful spending in Washington DC and since it appeared no one in Washington DC would step up to plate, they stood up and elected people that stood for what they believed. These individuals have stood up to the Dems, the Republicans, and even Obama, fighting to cut spending and get our deficit under control.

In the recent battle over the debt-ceiling, they stood strong and were even able to provide a backbone for the Republicans that normally would have folded immediately. S&P warned the nation that if it didn't get serious about cutting our spending it would be forced to downgrade us from a AAA to a AA+ rating, meaning that the value of our dollar would drop even more and our interest rates would jump (I know the fed came out later and said it would not raise interest rates, but that is really a sham, will explain later). Unfortunately, the Tea Party candidates just weren't able to support the weight of the entire Republican party and, due to mounting pressure from the Dems and the far left, most of the Republicans caved in the end, leaving the Tea Party high and dry. As a result, the debt-ceiling was raised and our spending cuts were left to the whim of 6 Dems and 6 Republicans (All of whom I honestly think won't do a damn thing) who, if they can't reach a consensus, will cause automatic spending cuts to go into affect (mainly on the military). This method of making cuts (Oh, they can also raise taxes if they deem, just thought I would mention that) is bad for the country and bypasses the ways set up by the Constitution for controlling our spending.

On top of that, S&P, true to their word downgraded us, this sent the Wallstreet into a major downturn, losing all of the gains made in the year over a few short days. The Fed, as a response said it wouldn't raise interest rates, instead it would leave them where they were at till 2013, just long enough for another administration to deal with unless (heaven forbid) Obama wins his reelection bid in 2012. If that happens, then the Obama administration can continue it's destructive policies unhindered.

Now, because of all the misfortune brought on due to the insanity of the Dems policies of keep doing the same thing and hope for a different outcome, and due to the Republicans proving once again that they have no spine (even when one is provided via the Tea Party they slither off it so they can fold under pressure), we are in an even bigger mess then before.

Who do you think both the Republicans and the Dems are blaming all this on? The Tea Party.

Just like the Obama administration has done throughout it's entire time in power, the Dems and the Republicans have decided to try to pull the wool over the eyes of everyone by blaming their new scapegoat, the Tea Party. This behavior is expected of the Dems (sadly enough), but the Republicans jumping on the bandwagon with the Dems is downright reprehensible. They are attacking the people who have stood up for them, backed them against the assault of the Liberal machine, and voted for them so that they could do the right thing and balance the power in Washington. The fact that they would turn their backs on the people who put them where they are is disgusting.

Now to be fair, there are still some Republican that still stand with the Tea Party even though they were not Tea Party candidates and those have done this nation proud by standing on principal. These party members have shown real courage standing up to their colleagues and will have the full backing of the Tea Party in the election cycle that is coming up (my opinion, not fact). The rest of the Republican party though has proven itself to be unreliable and in need of removal.

We need to cut these Senate and House members like the cancerous growths that they are and cut them out for good, then we need to make sure that we replace them with people who will stand up for the ideals of the Tea Party. Until we replace every last Republican that voted for this disaster, we will continue to go down the path of destruction that we are on. We need people who are willing to stand up and stand strong in the face of the demagoguery that will be thrown at them. We need men and women of principle. We need to save America.

The Debt-Ceiling Bonanza or Power to the 14th

Let me start by citing the part of the 14^th Amendment that I am going to be referencing in this post.

Section 4 of the 14^th Amendment states:

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

The reason I started with this is due to the fact that the White House is gearing up for an attempt to bypass Congress, citing this section of the 14^th Amendment, saying that no matter what we cannot default on our debt. They will say that, due to Section 4, if Congress refuses to raise the debt-ceiling (they may even argue the debt-ceiling is illegal due to Section 4's wording) then the President, as a last hope to prevent default, can raise the debt-ceiling with an executive order. This is one hundred percent untrue.

Nowhere in the Constitution is authority given to the President to...

1. Make laws in order to pay the debt of which the nation has accrued.
2. Levy any taxes in order to pay the debts that the nation has accrued.
3. To bypass Congress in order to pay the debts that the nation has accrued.

In fact in Article 1 Section 8 (the part of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to tax, appropriate and regulate commerce) states that Congress (not the President) shall have the power to borrow money on the credit of the United States. The 14^th Amendment doesn't and cannot affect the power that was given to Congress in Article 1.

All the 14^th Amendment does is require Congress to make sure that the debts of the nation are paid and the majority of those that are covered are the bonds held by bondholders. Almost everything else is required to be put on the back burner if necessary to insure that the bondholders get paid. This puts all payments to social programs (because they are not covered) on hold if the United States cannot afford to pay for them and pay the bondholders. Congress can chose to raise taxes to fund all other programs if they chose, but they must make sure the bondholders get paid before a penny goes to anything else. If Congress chooses not to raise taxes, then they are responsible for cutting spending to these programs (even if it means cutting them out all together) till the bondholders get paid. End of story. That is a fact that cannot be disputed no matter how much the White House try's to spin it.

If the debt-ceiling is not raised, the Obama administration would have you believe, that the US will default. Unless our Lord and Savior Obama, sweeps in and raises the debt-ceiling himself, superseding Congress in all his glory, we as a nation are doomed and will go bankrupt. This is simply not true, and no matter how much the administration says it is, it never will be true.

If the debt-ceiling is not raised, Congress will have 2 options left for them to pick from.

First, they can raise taxes, this is what the Dems are pushing (ever though Obama stated that in a recession you don't raise taxes due to the damage it will cause to the economy) for because that is all they seem to know. They don't care about the fact that that will hurt everyone financially during a time that they are already hurting, all they want is the increased revenue coming in to fund their lavish lifestyles. The Republicans don't want this option to be put in place because they understand that no matter who you raise taxes on, the working middle class and the working poor are going to be the ones to suffer in the long run due to inflation on goods and services.

The second option is to reform entitlement spending on social programs and put the responsibility in the hands of the people, not the government. This is the option that the Republicans are pushing for due to the huge amounts of waste and abuse that is rampant in the system. The Democrats don't want this, stating that it will disenfranchise minorities. What this translates out to is this... “We don't want to force these people to have a chance to better themselves by lifting them up and out of the state they are in by giving them personal control of their financial outcome in life.” Therefor the Dems elect to try to keep the people down, therefor making them reliant on the Democrat party to hold their hands since they will never learn to walk on their own.

I'm not saying that the social programs are bad, don't get me wrong there. We are a compassionate society and we take care of those who can't take care of themselves or have fallen on hard times. The problem is we have to many people who are dipping into the system that are very capable, they just don't want to take care of themselves because the government will do it for them. In some cases people will actually lose money if they go off government assistance. But I am getting off the point.

The point being, if the debt-ceiling is not raised we will not default, we cannot default. Congress has to pay the debt one way or another. The only way the this nation will default is if Congress refuses to do the job that they are bound by law to do. The Obama administration needs to stop the fear mongering (Obama stated today that that the government wont be able to issue social security checks on August 3 if the debt-ceiling isn't raised) about what the serious reforms Republicans are proposing to social security and medicare will do, and start talking seriously with Republicans on how to bring these needed changes about as smoothly as possible for all involved. Until Obama gets serious about this problem, the deadline will come and then it will really be time for the hard decisions.

Update:

The Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has proposed this afternoon, a bill that will strip Congress of its power to chose to raise the debt ceiling and turn it over to the President. I cannot put into words how big of a mistake this is. The proposal states that the President can propose a raise to the debt-ceiling up to 3 times a year, provided that he submit a plan with as much in budget cuts as he is raising the debt-ceiling by. Congress then can vote to disapprove the Presidents proposal blocking the raise... or does it? Here is the tricky part... the President can then veto (as long as there was not a veto-proof majority vote) the disapproval resolution and implement the raise without the spending cuts.

This is a stupid proposal on the Senator McConnell's part and any Republicans who vote for this proposal to pass are showing their real colors, they need to be removed from office and replaced with people who are looking out for our best interest. Giving up Congressional power just so you don't have to make hard decisions is a cop out and the American people don't need people like that in power.

Mitt Romney, AKA Obama 2.0

Ahhh, Mitt Romney. Don't you realize nobody wants you as president? We already tried giving a socialist a chance, and look at what Obama has done. We have record deficits, we are now waging 4 wars (yes 4 - Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and now Yemen), we are about to be forced into the crappiest government heath care system ever devised (based off your Romney-care, might I add) and racial tensions are at the highest since the civil rights movement.

You aren't fooling anyone Mitt. You promise to undo Obama-care, cut spending and promote and strong fiscal policy, yet look at what you did to Massachusetts. The American people aren't idiots. We know you will continue the work of Obama. You will indeed repeal Obama-care but, you will repeal and replace.... with your own version that will be the same thing, just worded differently. Thanks but no thanks.

We need a strong conservative to come forward to lead the nation, not another socialist that will run us further into the ground. We need a leader who isn't going to start 2 illegal wars (yes I know Obama still has the 60 days after the start to go before congress for the war in Yemen, but that time has long passed for Libya) because he/she decides it is best to bypass congress. We need a leader who will get serious about cutting the budget and deficit, not taking the money from one program, giving it to another (just because you shift money around doesn't mean you actually cut spending) then raising taxes to supplement the program you cut.

We need a leader who cares about the real injustices that occur to the citizens they represent, not pandering to criminals who don't respect our laws by coming to this country through illegal means. We need a leader who will stop trying to feed the world and focus on feeding the people of this great nation that are starving. We need a leader who realizes when we drop off aid to third world nations, that aid instead goes to the people that are preventing those nations to prosper and be able to take care of themselves.

We need a leader who realizes most of the rest of the world hates us and will never support us, no matter how much money we give them. We need a leader who will be willing to pull the money from those who don't support us and tell them to get over it. We need a leader who will stand by our allies like Israel instead of turning our backs and telling them to go back to the 1967 borders.

We need a leader Mr Romney, not a liberal slave who will swing which ever way the money blows. We need a leader who will make the hard choices that more then likely will hurt for a short period of time but will pay off in the end, bringing prosperity to all. We need a leader knows the value of the dollar and is willing to do what is necessary to make it stronger.

We don't need pretenders in the White House Mitt, we already have Obama.

The new Illegal Heath care law

My first REAL post, YAY!

Ok, today, in case you couldn't tell by the title, I want to talk about the new Health care law. A law that has illegally been implemented by a bunch of politicians that have no respect, nor care to respect, our constitution. This law forces people to buy health insurance or face a fine. The people that this law claimed to help is only going to punish them instead.

How does nObama expect people who can't afford insurance already to be able to afford it when the prices get jacked up even higher? They can't!

How are the people who have to take medication everyday for things like Lupus or Diabetes etc. supposed to afford their medicine when the price jumps because nObama made a deal with the Pharmaceutical companies? They CAN'T!

All this Law is going to do is make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer by widening the gap between the two. The middle class is going to vanish and all these idiots in Washington can do is either pat themselves on the back because only they know whats best no matter what the American people think or whine because they don't have the balls to stand up to the ones who put this idiocraty (my word, I claim it) into place.

Barack Insane nObama, STOP FUCKING OUR COUNTRY UP YOU STUPID IDIOT!

Democrat hippy butt fuckers, STOP FUCKING OUR COUNTRY UP YOU FUCKING SOCIALISTIC BASTARDS!

Republicans who claim to be conservative, GROW A PAIR OF BALLS! STOP WHINING AND DO SOMETHING! YOU SOUND LIKE A BUNCH LITTLE BITCHES!

And lastly, to the real conservatives, keep pushing. Fight till you have no fight left then fight some more, don't let these well meaning, yet harmful people another inch of ground. They want to destroy what makes this country great so the rest of the world can feel better about itself. Fuck the rest of the world. Lets get our shit together and show the rest of the world why they should look up to us. Because we are the best there is, but we won't be if we let ourselves be drug into the ground with the rest of the world.
