Wise Conservatism

This to me, is your administration calling every one of us stupid. And getting away with it. The latest numbers on unemployment supposedly tells us, that unemployment has gone down, to just under 10%. Now, in a time of high unemployment this usually is a good thing. But when our government is lying to us to make us think something is happening that really isn’t, then we have to start studying the situation, and stop accepting willy-nilly what the government tells us, as we have always done.

From the blog, CHESSNOID comes this little gem:

How can we have an overall lower unemployment rate when we lost more jobs than created, didn’t count correctly 800,000 original jobs previously lost, and are still losing more jobs everyday? It’s simple, you just don’t count people who haven’t looked for jobs or gave up in the last month. Maybe they simply stopped counting when it was convenient.

Now they didn’t just stop there. The words ‘800,000 original jobs’ were linked to another story that was from CNN Money.com, written by senior writer Chris Isidore, on February 4, 2010, at 1:31 pm ET:

Poof: Another 800,000 jobs disappear

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) – As bad as the government’s jobs readings numbers have been during the Great Recession, we’ll soon find out the real situation likely was worse.

Much worse.

Since April, 2008, the Labor Department estimated that business openings created thousands of more jobs than were lost from employers closing in every month but one. But those gains may end up being a mirage.

“It’s an enormous understatement of the severity of the crisis,” said Heidi Shierholz, labor economist with the Economic Policy Institute, a union-supported think tank. “It confirms that things were actually worse on the ground than what the reports suggested.”

The new reading will come when the economists at the department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics release their annual revision of U.S. payrolls from April 2008 through March of 2009 Friday, using data that wasn’t available as the monthly readings were being estimated and reported.

Typically the revision results in only a slight change in the previous estimate — about 0.1% to 0.2% of the total number of jobs. But there was nothing typical about the twelve month stretch that ended last March.

That period included the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the seizing up of financial markets and the U.S. economy toppling close to the brink of another depression.

Battle brews over hourly jobs

The government’s current readings show that 4.8 million jobs were lost in those twelve months, more than twice the jobs lost during any comparable April-March period going back to 1939, when the numbers first started to be compiled.

But the department has already given a preliminary look at this Friday’s revision, and it says it believes it will show 824,000 fewer workers on payrolls than the current estimates. That would be the biggest downward revision in the 30 years for which comparisons of those adjustments is possible.

“There’s certainly a disconnect between economists like myself who say the recession ended in May or June and the person on the street who says the recession hasn’t ended,” said John Canally, economist LPL Financial. “This report is only going to widen that gap.”

Canally said the big revision is one reason that it’s difficult to estimate what Friday’s report will show about the labor market in January, or how investors will react to the report.

Economists surveyed by Briefing.com are forecasting a net gain of 13,000 jobs in January, following a loss of 85,000 jobs in December. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at 10%.

Economists say it shouldn’t be a surprise that there is such a big revision this time, given the severity of the economic downturn.

“Most of the time it’s reasonably accurate. But when there are very sharp changes in the economy, they tend to miss and it becomes a big problem,” said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.

The problem is that BLS models appear to have grossly overestimated the number of new businesses that opened during the recession.

Now the question has to be asked. Does our current president and his administration really think that we are that stupid? The answer is: YES! They do.

They have “spin artists” who take the real numbers and then leave out certain parts of the equation, for the sole purpose of getting the numbers that they want.

Left out of these stats are the people who have been out of work long enough that they have simply given up looking. They are no longer counted in the unemployment rolls. Left out are the work aged young adults who could be working, but are not, because they don’t want too. Left out are the disenfranchised who, simply don’t care anymore. Added though, are the temporary census jobs that are just that. TEMPORARY. Hence the drop in unemployment. If they were able to still leave out the 800,000 jobs that suddenly showed up in their records from out of thin air, they would. But that leaked out. Sorry Obama. We are not as stupid, as you think.

What you need to start doing as President of this great nation, is to start taking the blame for this. Because it is not Bush’s fault. Sure, he started it, but when he left office, things were not that bad……No matter what your media has said, or continue to say. Bush, until the last few years of his presidency, did a good job. We had low unemployment during the first six years of his terms, we had low inflation and the economy was going great guns because of his tax cuts.

During the last two years of his administration he couldn’t get anything done because you democrats took over. That is when the economy started to turn around. And I do not mean turn around in a good way. Unemployment started going up, inflation stayed low, but the economy started to sputter. And because Bush was the president, you blamed him, and the trouble is, you still do, even for the things YOU ALONE have done.

The national debt started to rise because of spending, but it is like I said before, and you all know this, only Congress can spend money. And at that time, Congress was owned by the democrats. So the blame needs to be put where it really belongs. With the democrats and with you Obama. I know you don’t see it that way, but I must tell you, the majority of us do. GET IT RIGHT FOR ONCE. And start telling the people the truth. We are not stupid. If you think we are, then continue with your lies. The last three lost elections for you democrats will be but the beginning. MARK MY WORDS!

Don’t be afraid to see what you see.
-Ronald Reagan-

It is like Reagan said. We should not be afraid of seeing what we see. From the Republicans fighting against the Socializing of America that the Democrats are vested in, to fighting the hoax of Global Warming. Al Gore always warns us that the Polar Bears are drowning but he doesn’t give us the facts. The facts are, the Polar Bears that he so conveniently pictures out in the ocean on a small ice floe, is nothing more than a Polar Bear resting or sunning himself or playing or something. Polar Bears are among the most efficient and strong swimmers in the world. He doesn’t tell you that now does he? He doesn’t say that the polar ice is now thicker than it has been in a while now…..does he.

And when weather patterns hit, like they are now, where the midwest is being hit with one of the biggest storms in Modern history, he is strangely silent, or, he will try to tell us that being colder proves his theory that Global Warming exists. Folks, he is just like liberals when it comes to they’re ideas falling apart. They think that we are too stupid to think for ourselves and they will use both sides of the argument to win theirs. Apparently, their parents never told them that they can’t win them all. So, they do not see the writing on the walls. They look for more ways to skew the truth. That is something that the left has done for a long time now and they are very good at lying. Better than most of us I think…….

But, that is neither here or there. The truth will never make them tell it.

From the AP this morning is the latest that will probably be skewed into the next part of the Global Warming hoax:

Snow piles up, paralyzing nation’s capital

By NAFEESA SYEED, Associated Press Writer Nafeesa Syeed, Associated Press Writer 37 mins ago

It's getting deep out there.....

Officials urged people to huddle at home for the weekend, out of the way of crews trying to keep up with a storm that forecasters said could be the biggest for the nation’s capital in modern history. A father and son were killed in Virginia when a tractor-trailer struck and killed them after they stopped to help another driver.

A record 2 1/2 feet or more was predicted for Washington. As of early Saturday, 10 inches of snow was reported at the White House, while parts of Maryland and West Virginia were buried under more than 20 inches. Forecasters expected snowfall rates to increase, up to 2 inches per hours through Saturday morning.

Blizzard warnings were issued for the District of Columbia, Baltimore, parts of New Jersey and Delaware and some areas west of the Chesapeake Bay.

“Things are fairly manageable, but trees are starting to come down,” said D.C. fire department spokesman Pete Piringer, whose agency responded to some of the falling trees. No injuries were reported.

Airlines canceled flights, churches called off weekend services and people wondered if they would be stuck at home for several days in a region ill-equipped to deal with so much snow……..

…….The region’s second snowstorm in less than two months brought heavy, wet snow and strong winds.

Several thousand people in West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania had lost electricity and more outages were expected as the snow began to bring down power lines. A hospital fire in D.C. sent about three dozen patients scurrying from their rooms to safety in a basement. The blaze started when a snow plow truck caught fire near the building.

Authorities blamed the storm for hundreds of accidents. Some area hospitals asked people with four-wheel-drive vehicles to volunteer to pick up doctors and nurses to take them to work.

The snow comes less than two months after a Dec. 19 storm dumped more than 16 inches on Washington. Snowfalls of this magnitude — let alone two in one season — are rare in the area. According to the National Weather Service, Washington has gotten more than a foot of snow only 13 times since 1870……

……..The heaviest on record was 28 inches in January 1922. The biggest snowfall for the Washington-Baltimore area is believed to have been in 1772, before official records were kept, when as much as 3 feet fell, which George Washington and Thomas Jefferson penned in their diaries.

But this storm is not one of the storms that show up somewhere in the U.S. and dump snow in someplace, it is a huge storm. Ranging most of the way across the nation. Here in Indiana, it is dropping snow on the ground to depths not seen in the area in a long time. Here, west of Indianapolis, we had predicted anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of the white stuff, and I think we so far we have about six on the ground. And the storm is not over yet.

Now, I am not complaining about a small amount of snow, as I grew up in Colorado on the Western slope and was used to seeing the first snow of the year dropping enough snow on the ground that you didn’t see the ground again until spring thaw……some six months later. But looking out the window, knowing that this is one of the coldest winters in recent history, makes me want to go and laugh in the faces of the global warming alarmists because they are wrong.

All this hoo haw about how Climate change, *the new term for Global Warming* is going to destroy this world is laughable at best. This cold that has the nation in it’s grip is not Global Warming or Climate change. As I have said so many times before it is cyclical.

Global Warming at it's best folks!

Climate has been a changing entity since the beginning of time, even before man came onto the scene, and for you alarmists out there, it will continue to change long after we are gone. Mankind has little to no effect on what the weather is going to be. ONLY GOD CAN BE THAT POWERFUL! We need to stop trying to walk in his footsteps, which is impossible, because our ego’s get totally in the way of rational thinking on this subject. The best thing we can do is what we have been doing. Recycle and be good stewards of this world. Take care of the planet. But don’t go hog wild over some assumption that mankind is destroying our climate, because we are not. And it is as the old adage goes: When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me. And I for one do not like paying for your fallacies like the ass you think we all are.

The photo above was taken this morning, in the lull of the storm that is hitting the midwest to the Atlantic coast. This is not a normal thing, it is not global warming or global cooling, it is part of the cyclical change that has been happening since the dawn of time. And I refuse to pay for your cockamamie ideas that we are the cause of Global Warming. We are not and it is not. Global Warming is a hoax that was placed out there by the left whose only purpose, is for finding a way to tax us more than they could, if it wasn’t there. Which, since Global Warming is a hoax, is nothing more than stealing. And the last time I looked at the law books, stealing was illegal.

Vice President Biden presides over the swearing into office of the New Senator Scott Brown, of Massachusetts.

When Scott Brown won the seat that Ted Kennedy had held for decades, everyone on the Right was saying that the democrats would delay seating him if he won. And sure enough, the democrats were doing just that. But, and this continues on with the subject of yesterday’s post, where the Republicans are NOT STANDING DOWN now when confronted. After Scott Brown won the seat in Massachusetts, the democrats WERE doing just that for a while, and the Republicans put a stop to it. So much so, that Scott Brown was seated today. From Associated Press, is this article:

Brown sworn in as US senator from Massachusetts

By ANDREW MIGA, Associated Press Writer Andrew Miga, Associated Press Writer 1 hr 41 mins ago

WASHINGTON – Republican Scott Brown took over the seat of the late Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy on Thursday, vowing to be an independent voice in a bitterly divided Senate.

“I can’t promise I will be right in every vote I make. … I will do the very best job I can,” Brown told reporters.

Brown was sworn-in by Vice President Joe Biden at a Capitol Hill ceremony a week earlier than he originally planned, and just in time to plunge into a partisan fight over President Barack Obama’s choice of a union attorney for a top labor job.

Brown’s arrival in the Senate ends the Democrats’ supermajority and gives the GOP 41 votes they can use to block President Barack Obama’s agenda.

At a news conference, Brown made an assertion about the last economic stimulus bill that most economists would dispute.

“The last stimulus bill didn’t create one new job,” Brown said in response to a question about a jobs bill pending in the Senate. He added that the stimulus may have retained some jobs.

Republicans have questioned the way the Obama administration has counted jobs created or saved with stimulus money. But most economists believe new jobs were created even though unemployment rates rose.

Depending on how Democrats set the Senate’s calendar, Brown’s first vote could be against the confirmation of Craig Becker, a lawyer for the Service Employees International Union, to a seat on the National Labor Relations Board, the federal panel that referees private sector labor-management disputes.

Brown said he hasn’t decided on whether to support Becker.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee approved Becker’s nomination on a party-line 13-10 vote Thursday, sending it to the full Senate.

Republicans have held up Becker’s confirmation for months, saying they fear he might use the post to make labor laws more union-friendly without congressional approval.

Brown, 50, a little-known former state senator, stunned the nation with his upset victory last month over favored Democrat Martha Coakley and put the 2010 midterm elections in play for a possible GOP takeover of Congress. Brown’s win derailed Obama’s health care overhaul and catapulted Brown onto the national stage.

On Wednesday, Brown said he wanted to move up the swearing-in so that he could participate in upcoming Senate votes. On Thursday morning, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick certified the results of Brown’s win, clearing the way for him to take the oath of office.

Conservative radio hosts and newspaper columnists had pressed for Brown to take office earlier.

Former Democratic Party Chairman Paul Kirk had been holding the seat temporarily after being appointed by Patrick after Kennedy’s death.

Brown will fill the last two years of the late Kennedy’s term. Kennedy held the seat for nearly a half-century before he died in August.

So now, the Republicans hold 41 seats which makes the democrat’s lead in the Senate not filibuster proof. The last four elections have swung the majority from a Super Majority, to just a Majority. I know that the rest of us Conservatives out here cannot wait for more elections to happen. We can see good things happening for this country. But when it does, and the Conservatives win back the majorities, we have to stay the course and not fall away from our base like we did before. WE THE PEOPLE will not allow that to happen again, if we can help it. Congratulations again the Senator Scott Brown.

I have watched with amazement over the last few decades, as the Republicans would take crap from the Democrats and always it seems, would back down. The Democrats, right or wrong, would stand up for what they were saying and always….the Republicans would back down. When the Republicans were RIGHT on their issue, and the Democrats would disagree with them, the Republicans would always….back down. But I think they are finally starting to learn how to fight, and all I can say is, it is about time!

A discussion yesterday morning in Washington on Capitol Hill on the Senate Budget Committee, we finally see a Republican stand up to the Democrat, for something that the democrat is doing wrong. And the senator explains it by reading the law to the democrat. This is great.

Senator Judd Gregg, a Republican from New Hampshire, was talking with the budget director Peter Orszag. Here is the exchange:

GREGG: The whole concept of the TARP was that as we recouped the money — because we were borrowing it from Americans and from the Chinese. That as we recoup that money, we would use it to pay down the debt. Now, that’s not going to happen. It’s become a piggy bank, which adds to our deficit, adds to our debt.

Now, here is where the Republicans have always retreated, because the budget director Peter Orszag comes right back with this:

ORSZAG: The degree to which shifting funds, ehhh, would add to our debt or — uh, uh — deficits depends on what the net subsidy rate would be on that new activity. And, remember: The purpose of TARP was to address problems in our financial markets, and it has been remarkably successful in bringing credit spreads back down to normal levels. One of the lingering problems in our financial markets, however, is access to credit for small businesses.

But here is where it gets interesting. The Republican, Judd Gregg, from New Hampshire, didn’t back down, He came right back with this, and the exchange follows:

GREGG: No! No! You can’t make that type of statement with any legitimacy.

ORSZAG: Okay.

GREGG: You cannot make that statement. This is the law.

ORSZAG: Small businesses are not suffering from access? A lack of access?

GREGG: Let me tell you what the law says. Let me read it to you again, because you don’t appear to understand the law. The law is very clear. “The moneys recouped from the TARP shall be paid into the general fund of the Treasury for the reduction of the public debt.” It’s not for a piggy bank because you’re concerned about lending to small businesses –

ORSZAG: Senator, this would require new legislation.

GREGG: — and you want to get a political event when you go out and make a speech in Nashua, New Hampshire. That’s not what this money is for. This money is to reduce the debt of our children.

This is great, because not only is Senator Gregg standing up to Peter Orszag, he is quoting him the law! Telling him since he doesn’t know it, he reads it to him, so he can know what it says, and start doing the right thing. Bravo to you Senator Gregg. Keep standing up for what is right. Maybe more politicians will do the same, and save this nation from the Obama’s, the Pelosi’s, the Reids, and the Schumers.

Here’s the final exchange, and Bernie Sanders gets involved here.

GREGG: Let me ask you another question.

ORZAG: Okay.

GREGG: Because clearly we’re not going to agree on this and you’re not going to follow the law.

Secondly — Well, then you’re not going to be able to do it unless Congress –

ORSZAG: Yes!

GREGG: — gives you the authority to do it.

ORSZAG: Exactly.

SANDERS: That is how laws are made usually. Congress passes them.

It is about time the Republicans learned how to fight back. Keep standing up for what is right. That is the only way to win this war, that the Liberals have waged on America. Again, Bravo to you. Keep your backbone. It becomes you.

The latest from the Liberal Media has me up in arms, and I am not the only one. I thought that I had seen and heard the dumbest things that the liberals could say and do, but I guess not. Yesterday, they went after Rush Limbaugh because Miss Virginia, a black woman, won Miss America ‘in spite of Rush being one of the judges.’

It seems the media are the only ones who can say things like this and get away with it. It makes one wonder just where they left their brains before going on the air.

Rush Limbaugh was a Miss America judge for this latest pageant, and this year Miss Virginia (a black woman) who Rush said was everything, won.

She is beautiful with classic beauty, she has talent, she has composure, everything that the winner should have had. She is the whole package. And once again, some members of the media have taken to branding Rush Limbaugh as a racist. As news Busters.com said, ‘a black woman was able to win, even with Rush Limbaugh as one of the judges.’

Once again the media had to do this. Letting their own racism take over. Yesterday as Boyce Watkins lamented in his “Black Voices” article, “This week Rush Limbaugh was standing in front of a talented black woman who was trying to become Miss America. I am not sure if Rush Limbaugh voted for her or not, but the black woman was able to win. Caressa Cameron a 22 year old from Virginia Commonwealth University, was crowned Saturday night. Watkins, himself a fervent anti conservative from the Al Shartpton School of Race Baiting, was merely voicing what many in the media are thinking.”

Many in the media? Just who are these many in the media? Do you know who these “many” are? Sharpton? Clinton? Do you know? Those of you from the now defunct Air America? Do you know? Other than the Radicals among you? A Black woman won despite the presence of Limbaugh? It would serve you right Mr. Watkins, if Rush decided to do what you all would do in the same situation, and sue for defamation of character. And he would win too. You guys always talk about getting rid of racist ideals and yet, you are the ones that always bring it up.

Take NBC Washington for example, who explains that Rush was indeed charmed by Miss Cameron, saying that she won simply because she “has it all.” This is Rush talking. “Extraordinarily good conversationalist, amazing presence, unique and classic beauty, glamor, and the girl can sing.” NBC couldn’t contain their amazement however, as the full paragraph actually read, ‘the twenty two year old was even able to WOW pageant judge Rush Limbaugh the controversial conservative radio host told the Washington post the same quote.’ And it’s no surprise that no one else thought that. ONLY he did.

Now lets just take this apart for a minute because this just absolutely pisses me off. Why is it, if your politics include limited government, lower taxes, a strong national defense, supporting the troops, believing in traditional marriage, and wanting sovereign borders, you must therefore be a racist to these people? And God forbid that you mention that your pro life…. because in the minds of the liberals, you gotta be a racist to be pro life.

Curious enough though, the victims of abortion tend to be African American or urban, which is a lot of what the sinister, dirty, stinky, crud about abortion is from the American left. It’s they’re way of getting rid of undesirables if you let them say it that way.

The rest of us don’t think that way but they get away with it because they are the left. They are privileged in their eyes. Which is why when someone big on the Conservative side like Rush Limbaugh does something good, the left will come down on him and the race card will always be brought out, because that is the way they do things. It is about time that we started to realize this. This kind of thinking is destroying this nation, and at least one side is up in arms about it. It is scary that the left doesn’t get it….and yet want all the power.

Graduates get Government Jobs

We are not supposed to say anything against Obama, the headmaster of the Institute. We are not supposed to say anything against Pelosi and Reid, the administration of the institute, and yet, they are the ones who are tearing this country down. And it is politically incorrect to try to stop them from doing it. HUH?????

What in the hell ever happened to pride in America? Whatever happened to being able to tell our government they are wrong? Whatever happened to the American public saying to our politicians “Stop it damnit! We do not like what you are doing.”….and have them listen?

According to the politicians on the left in Washington, that America doesn’t exist anymore. And they are wrong about that. Because it does exist, and the people who are rising up in arms over this ignamous ignoring of the people’s desires are not going to get them safety in numbers in our government. Because they have forgotten that it is our government and our country…..not theirs. And it is WE THE PEOPLE who tell them if they have a job or not. And they can keep going on their present course, and I promise them, they will NOT have a job very long.

We had Obama speaking recently, about the economy, and the problems he is having. Of course blaming others for his ineptitude. And OF COURSE….Obama lied.

Here is what he said:

OBAMA: Ten years ago we had a budget surplus of more than $200 billion with projected surpluses stretching out toward the horizon. Yet over the course of the past ten years the previous administration and previous Congresses created an expensive new drug program, passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and funded two wars without paying for any of it, all of which was compounded by recession and by rising health care costs. As a result, when I first walked through the door the deficit stood at $1.3 trillion with projected deficits of eight trillion over the next decade.

Does he really think we are that stupid??? First off, that is a lie. He said the same thing to Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) and the Republicans on Friday at the retreat in Baltimore, and Hensarling went on MSNBC today to put the lie to what Obama had said.

But through it all, we can still hear Obama waving off the blame to someone else:

“It wasn’t my fault. I didn’t do anything! When I showed up here, Bush ruined the country. Bush did this, an entitlement program and all the tax cuts that weren’t paid for. Bush did it. Bush did it! All those irresponsible things were the previous administration.”

But the nasty little problem Obama is having with all of that blame shifting is, he voted for all of it! He voted for every spending bill that came up, from 2005 on. And that brings us to this: we have got a serious problem. It is turning out that Obama is, as Rush Limbaugh says, a delusion. Obama is being delusional. If Medicare entitlement is so bad, and if it’s such a strain and big drain on us then the answer would be to repeal it. Offer legislation to get rid of it, if it’s so bad.

Now, here’s Jeb Hensarling. After hearing Obama say, “We arrived in office with a $1.3 trillion deficit and projected deficits of $8 trillion over the next decade.” Here’s the truth: Obama’s spending is much higher than Republican spending ever was. Obama is delusional, and being a little bit disingenuous if he thinks all this blame is not his. And we can’t forget, that nine years ago we were attacked on 9/11.

HENSARLING: Well, either the president misunderstood the point or he just hasn’t been well informed. If you look at the 12 years when Republicans controlled the Congress, the average annual deficit was about $104 billion. I’m not proud of that number. That’s too high. But in the three years that Democrats have controlled Congress, the average annual deficit is now $1.1 trillion. Do the math.

What used to be an annual deficit under Republicans has become a monthly deficit under Democrats. And so when the president says, “I inherited a big deficit,” I agree, but he inherited it from a Democratic Congress and only Congress can spend the money. That’s the point I was making. Facts are facts, and maybe that’s why he wasn’t too happy with me.

At the republican retreat Obama actually implied Hensarling was lying in his question about this, but Hensarling is right. The Democrats ran Congress starting in 2007, all of 2008 — and, of course, all of last year. So, when Obama says the debt is Bush’s fault, he is lying through his teeth. That was the next question that Hensarling got.

HENSARLING: No jobs, no recovery. I’m happy to see the GDP numbers, and I don’t understand how you can slosh around so much money — borrowing it from the future, bringing it into the president and not have an impact on GDP, so I’m glad to see that — but if it’s working, I guess it begs the question: Why does the president want yet another stimulus plan? I lose track, this is either Stimulus 3 or stimulus 4 when you throw in the whole government omnibus plan.

REPORTER: All right.

HENSARLING: I personally don’t think it’s working, and small businesses are wondering: How are we going to pay for this debt?

REPORTER: Yes.

HENSARLING: And so that’s one of the reasons that job growth is inhibited.

And you cannot believe the lie they are trying to pass off on us, that the economy is coming back.

Sure we have had six months of growth….but mark my words people, this will not last. Next year, we will see different. the economy will crash if we keep letting Obama do the things he is doing. Stopping him is THAT imperative people. America does not need to go down this way. America no longer needs to be run by graduates of the Institute of Fools and Morons.

Over and over again, we hear the politicians talking of progressives. They refer to progressives with every speech, and every ideal that they espouse.

Obama is a progressive. Notice what he believes in? It isn’t the constitution. He wants to change America. He wants to tax the people, though now he is saying he is for a spending freeze, though, it isn’t what you may think.

Hillary Clinton is a progressive. She has said so herself. She likens herself to an early 20th century progressive. She wants to change America. She doesn’t believe that the people should be in charge. Only politicians that believe as she does are qualified to do that.

To show that this isn’t a Democrat/Republican thing, John McCain is a progressive. Progressives hate profits. McCain said this: “Um, I don’t like obscene profits being made anywhere — and I’d be glad to look not just at the windfall profits tax — that’s not what bothers me — but we should look at any incentives that we are giving to people or industries or corporations that are distorting the market.”

Distorting the Market Mr McCain? Isn’t Capitalism all about making a profit? Isn’t Capitalism all about being able to have your own business and doing as well with it as possible? So what is this about obscene profits? Isn’t a profit what you start a business for? Now, I am not singling out John McCain here my friends. We have Obama who is a progressive and hates profits made by anyone, unless it is himself and his cronies. But, what we the people have to realize here is, the progressive movement has it all wrong. The progressives are anti American. Anti Constitutional. Anti people. We have to remember that the first three words of the Constitution are WE THE PEOPLE. And the writers of the Constitution meant it to be that way. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have made those three words so much bigger than the rest. They are emphasized for a reason.

But the progressives think that the people are too stupid to rule anything, just like the liberals do. The founding fathers had it all right though. They knew, that if government got too big, eventually the people would wake up and fix it.

But, in all of our presidents, I can only think of two that really had it right when it came to that ideal. George Washington and Ronald Reagan. They both knew that government was not the answer.

Washington said, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” And isn’t that the truth. We have allowed our government to become too big, and yet, the democrats now only wish it grow bigger. They can never have it big enough. Because they understand those words of Washington, that Government is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. They wish to be the head of that fearful master.

One way to tell about how they feel about Government, look at what they are saying now that they have control of it all. They want government to do everything. They want government to be everything. To everyone. But, when our government is run by someone else, say the Republicans or the Conservatives, and yes Martha, they are different, big government is intrusive and not right. The democrats then are not for big government because they are not fully in charge of it.

To these men, George Washington, and Ronald Reagan, the Constitution of this nation was important. George Washington said of it: “The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.” The democrats today are abandoning it because as Obama said the Constitution is flawed…….“It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it’s been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.” The trouble is, the Constitution does say what the government can and CANNOT do. And that is what irks the likes of Obama. He feels that since he is in charge…..he can do what he damn well pleases, and the Constitution won’t allow that.

Reagan, on the other hand loved the Constitution as did Washington. It was and IS the founding document that this country was founded on and should be referred to everytime something comes up. And Reagan also feared government. He said: “Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a loud voice at one end and no responsibility at the other.” And watching Washington in action these days shows exactly that. A huge appetite for money at one end, and a lot of talk of responsibility at one end, and at the other, actions that have no responsibility in them or the ability to accept blame. Something that now is being passed off to everyone else. A great example is Obama still blaming Bush for the mess he has put us in.

Sure, the deficit was big when Obama took office, but if Obama had done the right thing, lowering taxes, making government smaller and been fiscally wise, the situation would have gotten better. But, unemployment has gone from about 5.5% when he took office to over 10% now. The deficit has skyrocketed along with prices of everything that we need to live. My electric bill this last two months for the first time in my life has gone way over 300 dollars for the month. Before that the biggest electric bill I ever got was only half that. Obama is spending us out of house and home and country. And only now, after all his spending, he is finally talking of a price freeze, then he subsidizes his new jobs bill that will cost billions more.

Art Laffer, who was the creator of the Laffer curve, which is what Reagan used to implement his tax cuts in the eighties, said this about what is going on now. ‘….the economy is now heading toward ‘a train wreck’ in 2011. ‘It will make the decline in U.S. output from 2010 to 2011 worse than the decline in output in 2008 and 2009, which will be catastrophic. Don’t be fooled into thinking the economy is coming out of the woods this year. Unlike most of Obama’s economic critics, we will have modest growth this year, but a sharp decline in 2011.

“The chief reason: ‘In anticipation of known tax increases, the economy will shift income and output from 2011 — the higher tax year — into 2010 — the lower tax year. As a result of this income shift, 2010 will look a lot better than it should, and 2011 will be a train wreck,’ “Meantime, Obama’s spending freeze proposal is a sham, affecting only a tiny sliver of the budget, and, by the way, it wouldn’t take place until 2011 after the midterm elections. That is, if Congress adopts it. Lawmakers say that under his plan, spending will still rise by 44.3 percent instead of 45 percent over the next 10 years. That’s why the recent GOP victory in Massachusetts was barely a tremor for the Democrats compared to the real disaster that’s coming in November.”

We have some bad times coming and our leaders know what is coming, and they do not care. It is what they are after. If not for any other reason, than to blame someone else for it, and try to come out smelling like a Rose. The trouble is, the people are awake to their deceptions, and the smell for the leaders, isn’t going to be anything like a Rose.

But Reagan also said this of Government: “….government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”

We have to start listening to what our politicians say. They usually say the same thing over and over again, until they are caught with their pants down, then they will change suddenly. People, the sudden changes mean nothing. Just as Obama’s sudden changes of late mean nothing. He and they still mean what they have always preached. They just know that their ideals will not work and are not accepted. So, they do what they do best. Change their tune, without changing their agenda. Place the blame elsewhere. Accept none of the blame. Fool the people into falling back asleep.

We cannot, and I repeat, we cannot allow this to happen anymore. Our country….our great republic is dying on the vine. It needs us to come to her rescue. And I believe that rescue her we will. Look out Obama and you others, we are coming!!!

“The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.”

I want us to have a constructive debate. The only thing I don’t want — and here I am listening to the American people and I think they don’t want either — uh, is for Washington to continue being so Washington-like. I know, folks, uh, when we’re in — in town there, uh, spend a lot of time reading the polls and looking at focus groups and interpreting which party has the upper hand in November and in 2012 and so on and so on and so on. That’s their obsession. And I’m not a pundit. Uh, I’m just a president. So take it for what it’s worth.
-Barack Obama-

Sad isn’t it? In the Republican meeting with the President, Obama had this to say. To me, all he is doing is throwing a temper tantrum because there are those out here that do not agree with him. He wants bi-partisan help with his bill, but when the help comes, he wants nothing to do with it, because that help, doesn’t agree with what he wants to do.

He’s lying to them again. He’s lying to us again. “Hey, look, I’m even for tort reform. That’s the Holy Grail to you guys, and I told you I’m for it.” He just said that, and he said, “Republicans and Democrats have to work together. We just have to work together.” Remember, this is a guy who told these very Republicans, “You can’t listen to Rush Limbaugh. That’s not how things get done in this town.”

But he is also saying that they can’t listen to us the people either, because that is not how things get done in that town. But he is wrong. I have to say to Obama, oh yes it is.

The people have always been a big part of what goes on in that town, and no matter what Obama thinks, he does not know what the people think. And if he does, he is totally ignoring what we want. Mainly because he is not interested in what anyone wants, except for him.

That is the reason he jumped on the Supreme Court for doing the right thing in their last decision, which went against what Obama wanted. Even though it was the right thing to do for the Country, Obama was pissed that he wasn’t listened too.

He has shown over and over again that his only concern, when it comes to his presidency, is to do what he wants. NOTHING ELSE Matters.

His quote above, shows that so clear, that it is like a slap in the face of anyone who loves this country and wants to protect it from him, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, and others who are hell bent on destroying the fabric of this nation.

And I for one am sick and tired of watching him acting like el Duce *you remember Benito Mussolini?* every time he is in front of a camera. Musolini also, was not interested in the people’s decisions or wants. His nose was always in the air in the same way as Obama’s is.

When Obama said: “I am listening to the American people and I think they don’t want either,” I knew that he was lying. He has done everything possible to NOT hear what the American people want or say. He has proved it by continuing with his Health Care bill even though 80% of the people, at least, have stated that they do not want it. They want the government to stay out of our health care. I want the government to stay out of my health care. What you are doing is unconstitutional. MR OBAMA, you say your listening, but that comes off as just another lie, that you are telling to the people, to try to pass legislation that is against the wishes of the same people. And sadly for you, the American people have woke up. And we are not going back to sleep until long after you are gone. And that time is coming ….. SOON! Start counting the days on your calendars.

Mark my words!

The Rouges Gallery

During Obama’s speech last night, he turned and lectured the Supreme Court, with the members present, about their SCOTUS ruling permitting corporations to freely speak out on political matters in federal elections. In this ruling, the Supreme Court was looking out for America in that decision, but Obama took it in a different way. He lectured them about how wrong they were.

Behind Obama, Chief Justice Samuel Alito was seen shaking his head and mouthing “not true”.

And in that, Alito was right. President Obama was once again showing he has no idea about the law, even though he thinks he is a constitutional scholar.

From the National Review Online, professor Bradley A. Smith observed:

Tonight the president engaged in demogoguery of the worst kind, when he claimed that last week’s Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, “open[ed] the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities.”

The president’s statement is false.

The Court held that 2 U.S.C. Section 441a, which prohibits all corporate political spending, is unconstitutional. Foreign nationals, specifically defined to include foreign corporations, are prohibiting from making “a contribution or donation of money or ather thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State or local election” under 2 U.S.C. Section 441e, which was not at issue in the case. Foreign corporations are also prohibited, under 2 U.S.C. 441e, from making any contribution or donation to any committee of any political party, and they prohibited from making any “expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication… .”

This is either blithering ignorance of the law, or demogoguery of the worst kind.

Now this is rich my friends. Trying to decide between being ignorant to the law, like a blithering idiot, or demogoguery of the worst kind? You make the call. It is one or the other.

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
-Ronald Reagan-

Tonight is Obama’s talk on the State of the Union address to the nation, and it will be nothing more than his spun version of the truth about how his first year has gone. In reality, he will be fizzling at the margins. He will not be able to help himself. He will talk about green jobs. He will talk about things that he has talked about before. He will say he has talked of these things, even though he hasn’t.

He will talk about the economy. It is on the rise. The recession is over, yet, the media and the left are always surprised when the economy takes another nose-dive, and yet, we here on the right have been telling them over and over again that you cannot spend your way out of a recession. YOU CANNOT.

He will talk about how he has made us safer since he took office, and yet since he took office we have had at least several attacks on the mainland. Four that I can think of, though the left is spinning that too. The latest was the froot of the loom bomber that tried to bomb the plane inbound to Detroit. It took Obama 72 hours to even respond to that, and no one said a thing. When 9/11 happened it took Bush a few hours at the most to respond, and the media and the left were trashing him for having his priorities in the wrong spot. To which I say: HUH?????

Obama will talk mostly about the economy and how we need to do everything we can to bring it back to normal, and we the people are going to pay for this.

He is going to talk about how he will probably go back a little to something on the lines of what Clinton talked about when it comes to the economy.

What Obama needs to do, though he won’t, is this:

Defund ACORN.

Prosecute voter intimidation.

Fire all the czars and end the practice of hiring them.

Propose a bill that actually cuts spending 2% every year for the next ten years and veto every spending bill until the requested bill is passed. List your proposed cuts to achieve the 2% reduction in spending every year. Across-the-board tax cuts, individual two levels: 10% up to a hundred thousand dollars a year, 25% for over that amount. Corporate tax rate: 15%.

Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax, the death tax, and capital gains taxes. Just repeal them.

Privatize General Motors and Chrysler, and that includes getting the unions out of ownership.

End TARP and the slush fund. Cut off all slush fund and Porkulus spending that has not been spent.

Lift all restrictions prevalent interstate health insurance and real tort reform, and endorse Charles Krauthammer’s proposal to scrap the current medical malpractice system.

Repeal Executive Order 10988 he will which gives federal workers the right to join unions and bargain collectively.

Reserve constitutional rights for Americans: Treat terrorists as enemy combatants and not common criminals and US citizens, and return the right to interrogate those that attack us to the FBI and the CIA.

And last, but not least, keep Guantanamo Bay open for business because we’re going to need it. It’s very simple.

This is a great idea, and it comes from Rush Limbaugh, but he won’t do that.

The one thing that he will touch on is Global Warming. He will tell us to watch out for the worst effects of Climate change. Right now, it is colder than hell here in Indiana, and we have had more snow this winter than normal, and it has been colder than normal, yet, that, to the liberals like Obama and the Global Warming freaks is just another way that shows Global Warming is happening. Again I say HUH??????

Obama will talk about expanding government some more, ignoring the words of wisdom that Reagan said once: “We must remind the people that as government expands, liberty contracts.” Does that sound like Obama? NOPE??? Well, he does want bigger government and take away our liberties…….

What we have to remember here folks, is no matter what Obama says tonight, he isn’t changing his agenda. Just changing the wording to try to pass his ideas off on us stupid people cause that is what he thinks of us. But it will not work….because unfortunately for Obama, and fortunately for America, the people are not stupid. And once awakened to the tyranny of the government, we will not fall back asleep till the tyranny is gone. And starting with the three elections of late, the tyranny is on it’s way out.

Remember folks, listen, but don’t fall for his new ploy, because he is not changing his agenda. Just the way he presents it.
