"Old McDonald Had an Illegal Alien" (And Other Great Hits Like "Illegal Aliens Fell on Alabama")


Alabama's new illegal immigration law came under a lot of fire before it was implemented, as many lies and distortions were told about the law by liberal groups and media in order to make the Hispanic populace scared. Once the law finally got implemented the earth shattering consequences that were predicted simply did not occur, but the cries of indignation remain, fueled by half truths and lies told about the aftermath if the implementation of the law. I hope to clear some of these things up for you.

First I want to address the people who claim that this law is a racist blow to discriminate against the Hispanic population of Alabama. This is a distortion of the law. The law never singles out Hispanics, in fact it worded to prevent officers from discriminating against anyone based off of their race. How can the law be racist if it designed to protect against racism? On top of that, why do the people who state this automatically assume it is targeting Hispanics? Do they believe all Hispanics are illegal? Going with that line of thinking, do they think all non-Hispanics are legal? Don't they realize that people how are not of Hispanic decent can be here illegally too? After all, there are more countries out there besides America and Mexico. Case in point, the first person to get detained because of this law wasn't Hispanic, he was from Yemen.

That brings me to my second point. The story that the liberal news media is trying to spin on the illegal immigration law in order to make it look like an utter failure actually assures that the law is working as intended. The previously mentioned story is about three men from Yemen who were arrested on drug related charges. One of them had a drivers license, he was released after making bail, the second had a work visa, he was released after making bail, the third had no form of identification and could not state his drivers license number or social security number, he was detained until his lawyer could prove he was here legally. The liberal news media wants you to think that the police just picked this poor man (the third one) up because he looked like he wasn't a citizen. No they picked him up because he was messing with illegal substances and then was detained because he could not prove he was here legally. He was NOT Hispanic, nor, if you see any pictures of him, does he look Hispanic, that throws the theory that it is a racist law that targets Hispanics out the window.

The law is designed to protect Alabama citizens from criminals, plain and simple. I, for one, have no problem with criminals having it a little tougher. As for those of you who think that illegal aliens (or as the Obama regime wants to call them, undocumented workers) are not criminals, put the crack pipe down and listen up. Illegal aliens come to the USA through ILLEGAL means, meaning, THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW. I know some of you bleeding hearts out there take offense to that, but it is true. “Well, they're just coming here because they want to work to provide for their families in Mexico,” is what some of you are saying right now. Yes, that is the reason some of them come over here, but you know what? That doesn't make it any less illegal, they are still breaking the law. The USA has plenty of guest worker programs that the Mexican citizens can take advantage of in order to come here LEGALLY and work. As for you who are asking “Well, what about the ones here seeking asylum? Hmm? What about them?” Once again, there are legal ways for people seeking asylum, to come here for protection that don't involve breaking the law.

Now to my third point, and this is the one I find myself getting the angriest about. Alabama farmers have stated that this law has dried up the workforce that they relied on for harvesting their crops. They claim that they can't get any non illegals to come work for them, stating that Alabamians refuse to do that kind of physical labor. I don't know about you, but if I was hurting for work (and Alabamians are at the moment with ten percent unemployment) I believe I would jump at the chance to earn some money. If Alabamians are truly refusing to do this kind of work to earn an honest days wage, then that right there says something about the unemployment system not doing it's job right, (but that is a discussion for another time) and we really need to reform it so people stop wanting to settle for unemployment. In fact, some of the local radio stations that have been interviewing these farmers have offered to let them advertise, free of charge, that they need work and where the people who want it need to go and who they need to call. The farmers every time have refused to give out that information so that Alabamians who want to work have no way to contact them for work. Am I the only one that sees the problem there? That, though, isn't that part that makes me mad.

What makes me mad about the claims of these farmers is some of the thing they are saying when talking about how this law has screwed them. I'm not saying all of them have said this but a fair number of times I have heard this said (yes this is a quote), “Them brown skinned folks is the only ones that will come out here and do this kinda work. Colored folks and white folks won't stoop to doing this kinda back breaking work. After all, them brown skinned folks is built for it, they are made to work out in the heat and the sun.” Not all the farmers have said exactly that (but the nature of what is said is the same) but that it the latest I have heard with my own ears, which is why I quoted it. Am I the only one this kind of speech ticks off? How dare they refer to these people like they are live stock! Both Illegal and legal Hispanics are not live stock! This kind of speech churns my stomach, it is disgusting, reprehensible, hateful, and extremely offensive. The last time speech like this was said about a people based off their skin color was back when plantation owners were told they could no longer use slave labor. Is that what we have come to think of these people who come here looking for work as? Slave labor? NO, if they come here illegally they may be criminals, but they are NOT slaves!

The plantation owners had to change their business model when they could no longer use slave labor, the ones that didn't throw up their hands in defeat survived and were able to continue earning a profit thru legal means. The farmers here in Alabama need to do the same, adjust their business models and they will see their business survive. Those who refuse to change will see their business crumble and fall, that is the simple truth to it. They can succeed by hiring legal citizens who want and need the work, they just have to try.

The Occupy Wall Street Zombies Drink Kool-Aid, Not Tea!


I am so sick of people comparing the “Occupy Wall Street” movement to the Tea Party. This is a complete misrepresentation. The two movements have nothing really in common. The Tea Party stands for upholding the principles that this nation was built upon, once again relying on the Constitution to lead us as it is written, not the twisted interpretations that politicians have come up with to promote their own agendas. The Occupy Wall Street movement is all about destroying the current system in order to create an environment of chaos, in which they can rebuild the financial structure to a socialist utopia model that has been tried in Europe multiple times, failing every time, driving those nations into chaos in the process.

The Occupy Wall Street movement is a destructive force that is building on the left, much like the Tea Party was a constructive force building on the right. The Occupy Wall Street movement is attempting to place themselves into the same position as the Tea Party except they are going about it in a completely different fashion. The are using lies and deceit to try to affect the emotions of the ignorant to cause them to rise up against against the financial systems of the US. They are backed by groups that have been known to have malicious intent against the US government including Anonymous.

If you need proof of this I present a transcript of the promise of attack posted today by Anonymous ….

“Greetings, Institutions of the Media.

We are Anonymous. The events transpiring within Wall Street have caught our eye.
It seems that the government and Federal agencies enjoy enforcing the law a little bit too much. They instate unjust laws as mindless automatons, blindly following orders with soulless precision.

We witness the Government enforcing the laws that punish the 99% while allowing the 1% to escape justice, unharmed, for their crimes against the people. We have observed this same Government failing to enforce even the minimal legal restraints of Wall Street’s abuses. This Government who has willingly ignored the greed at Wall Street has even bailed out the perpetrators that have caused our crisis.

We will not stand by and watch the system take over our way of life.
We the people shall stand against the government’s inaction.
We the people will not be witnesses to your corruption and ill gotten profits.
We will not labor for your leisure.
We will not assist you in any way.

This is why we choose to declare our war against the New York Stock Exchange. We can no longer stay silent as the population is being exploited and forced to make sacrifices in the name of profit.
We will show the world that we are true to our word. On October 10th, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On October 10th, expect a day that will never, ever, be forgotten.

Vox Populi, Vox Anon.
The Voice of The People is The Voice of Anonymous.
We are Legion. We are the 99%.
We do not forgive. We do not forget.
Wall Street: Expect us”


Anonymous has once again proven their dedication to anarchy thru terrorism in order to harm innocents who are hard working individuals trying to make a living the best they can. They claim, like the Occupy Wall Street movement, that this is the will of the people and for the good of the people. How is terrorism and chaos good for the people? All that does is creates an atmosphere where might will make right, in this case might being money. Don't these idiots realize that the people with the money are the ones they are claiming are the problem? By taking the steps that Anonymous and the Occupy Wall Street movement are taking, they are setting it up to put the people (George Soros for example) they claim to hate into stronger positions of power. In fact I personally believe that the people that will benefit (see the prior sentence) are the ones behind stirring the pot of ignorance that has led to this.

The Tea Party on the other hand has taken steps to educate anyone that is willing to learn about the principals that this nation was built upon. Thru doing that they hope to raise awareness of the corruption and abuse of power in Washington. They believe that thru proper and truthful knowledge the people will gain the knowledge to elect people into office that will enact change that is sorely needed to bring back honor and integrity to our government. It also encourages non-politicians to get involved in politics in order to bring about the changes that our government sorely needs. It also encourages dissenting views in order to encourage intelligent debate on the issues in order to guide our nation to the prosperity that we once had.

The Occupy Wall Street movement, hand in hand with Anonymous, is attempting to remake America through promotion of ignorance and terrorism, whereas the Tea Party is attempting to steer America back to it foundations and principles through promotion of knowledge and education. There are hard times coming. Which side will you stand with?

"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 Party of No

Why are the Republicans always accused of being the “Party of No”? Can anyone tell me?

I personally think most people hear them being called the “Party of No” and associate the Republicans with not wanting to work together with Dems to pass any legislation. While it does seem like that is the case due to the spin that Democrats are so good at presenting, that isn't the case. Take the whole debt-ceiling fiasco that is currently going on, the Republicans have presented and passed multiple plans (all while being accused by the Dems of not doing anything). Meanwhile the Dems in the the Senate (even the White House) keep insisting that that anything the Republicans in the House passes, they (the Dems) will not even allow it to come to the floor to be looked at. How are any bills supposed to get passed when half the people involved in the process (the Senate Dems) refuse to even look at any of the plans the Republicans have passed?

The really sad thing about how this process usually goes is, each time the Senate refuses to look at these bills that have been passed by the House, the House then turns around and writes up another plan that is a gutted version of the previous bill. The newly gutted bill passes the House, then goes to the Senate where they won't look at it yet again. I think the Dems plan is to just keep rejecting House bills till the House sends them a blank page. So far who sounds like the “Party of No”?

All the while, the Democrats are constantly accusing the Republicans of not wanting to compromise and blaming them of being an obstacle that is preventing anything from passing. The thing that makes this even more absurd is, while they are blaming and spreading demagoguery, they refuse to present any ideas in writing. They work only towards making the Republicans look like villains when in truth the Republicans are the only ones working toward solutions.

The big problem with the Republican party is that in the past when the Dems have used this tactic, it has always worked in getting the Republicans to give in and agree to anything the Democrats want. The Dems even get the Republicans to draw up all the paperwork on it once they give in so that the Dems can come back behind them, copy it and claim that they are the ones who got it done. This definitely made the Republicans the “Party of No”, or as I think of it, the “Party of No Spine”.

Now with the current debt-ceiling debacle, the Democrats are lost once again on what to do so they look to the Republican party for ideas all while blaming the Republicans of doing nothing. Yet this time something is different. Yes, the Republicans have caved little by little on the one-sided (because the Dems are still refusing to do anything) debt-ceiling debate, there are new members in the Republican party that are from the Tea Party crowd. They appear to have at least given the Republican party a partial spine. For once the Republicans seem to be standing firm, refusing to give in anymore past the point that they have (sadly) been whittled down to. While I disagree with how much they have given up due to the Dems tactics, at least they seem to have stopped caving on their principals for the moment.

The Republicans are finally standing up and saying “No”. No new taxes. No new spending. No promised future cuts to the budget that will never come. No allowing the Dems (Obama) to rule against the will of the people.

Lets hope they stick to their guns and stand proud as the “Party of No”

The Debt-Ceiling Bonanza or Power to the 14th

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

Section 4 of the 14th 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 14th 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 14th Amendment doesn't and cannot affect the power that was given to Congress in Article 1.

All the 14th 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.

Lindsay Smarter Then Obama? The Apocalypse is Nigh!

Recently Lindsay Lohan tweeted this "“Have you guys seen food and gas prices lately? U.S. $ will soon be worthless if the Fed keeps printing money!”  Is this a sign that even Lindsay Lohan understands economics better then our own president?  Does she have a better grasp of the irreparable damage that Obama himself is leading us to while claiming that he is fixing the problems?  The answer.... sort of. 

True, Miss Lohan did tweet a statement about the state of the US dollar and true, it made a lot more sense then anything that Obama (who is seemingly detached from the reality of the state that our economy is in) has said so far.  Unfortunately, (much to my disappointment because I would have had more fun with this post) those words were not her own.  Miss Lohan was paid by the National Inflation Association to tweet those words.  When criticized about the tweet by her fans though, she replied “I actually do care about gas and food prices, so whether it’s an [advertisement] or [not], it’s important for people to be aware of it.” showing that even though the words were not her own, she at least aware that people should be informed about what is going on. 

If Lindsay Lohan can sober up enough to realize there is a problem with the Obama administrations solution to the falling dollar, why can't Obama (who hopefully is sober, though sometimes I wonder) see that his policies are broken and breaking things further.  I often wonder how Obama and his worshipers can look at the way things have gone downhill at an alarmingly fast rate since he started implementing his policies and think that things are on an upswing.  It is plain for me (and most of the other people I have talked to) to see that his policies are destroying the dollar, why can't he see it?  I honestly think Obama knows exactly what he is doing.

Originally I wasn't sure if Obama realized that his policies were destructive.  I thought "Maybe Obama honestly thinks that his proposals will drive the country forward and upward even though historically socialism has failed every time they have been tried.  Maybe he thinks that the American Machine will be the one thing that will change the fact that socialism fails."  Now, I'm not so sure this is the case. 

Ignorance of historical fact is one thing, staying the course and claiming things are getting better when at best they have plateaued is a different matter.  Obama refuses to admit that there is a problem with any of his policies, in fact he goes out to address the people of this nation and lies straight to their faces.  At this point, in my opinion, there is no way he can be ignorant of the facts.  He is knowingly lieing to everyone about the state of the dollar, the unemployment numbers, the costs of Obamacare, as well as the policies the Republicans have introduced in an attempt to fix Obamas screw up. 

The Republicans have even had to sit down with him and call him out on the lies he has told about the policies they were trying to pass to prevent the hole he is putting us in.  Despite the Republicans correcting him (in case he was speaking out of ignorance) on the lies he was telling, Obama goes right back out and continues telling the same lies.  This says to me Obama is willingly distorting facts in order to sabotage the plans that the Republican propose.  I think he is doing this because he feels he has to prove his way is right and anyone else being right is a threat to his picture perfect world. 

Obama feels he has to be right, therefor (in my opinion) he lies about things in a vain attempt to convince himself that he is right.  If he keeps up his mantra long enough, I think that he thinks it will eventually become truth.  Any sane person knows that just isn't the way the world works but that seems to be the way Obama thinks it works.

You can't print trillions of dollars to cover your costs and expect the value of said dollars to remain the same, just like you can't claim that you have positive unemployment numbers (it amazes me whenever Obama brags about how many jobs he has "saved or created" when unemployment is still creeping up and that's not even counting the people who have just given up) when you are still in the negative.  Oh, and for the record, government jobs shouldn't be included in that because they are more of a drain (not saying government jobs are bad for the record) on the governments resources then they bring in.

Miss Lohan may not have tweeted her own words yet she at least seem to have a grasp on the fact that there is a problem even if she is just hitting on a small part of it.  Maybe Obama needs to take a tip from Lindsay Lohan and acknowledge that there is a problem.  Once he does that he can start working towards solving the problem, not making it worse.
