I find it funny that the President who says we should be “making sacrifices during difficult times” thinks it is ok to spend thousands in TAXPAYER dollars to send his wife and daughter on a trip to Spain…

I find it funny that many people who complain about having so much taken out of their paycheck each week will vote Democrat in the next election…

I find it funny that many of these people who will vote Democrat cannot name the Vice President, any Supreme Court Justices, their own Senators, their own Representatives…

I find it funny that some of the people trying to pass themselves off as “conservative” Republicans are no more conservative than the “blue-dog democrats” (Mitt Romney, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Sarah Palin, etc)…

I find it funny that despite polling that suggests constituents hate their Senator/Representative, that many of them will be re-elected (HARRY REID)…

I find it funny that we now determine the success of a stimulus bill on jobs “saved or created”. I still have a job… Does that mean mine was saved???

I find it funny that I picked up my dry cleaning the other day and their was a “HELP WANTED” sign out front. Can someone please explain to me why with REAL unemployment going as high as 16 % and up, that ANY business should have to invest $10 in a Help Wanted sign? People should be banging on the door!…

I find it funny that we have a government that says big business is evil because they are not hiring more people, but they do nothing but hand out more incentives for people to stay at home…

I find it funny that we have a government who says they main priority is protecting the rights of citizens, but allow people to come across the border constantly (sometimes 10 times after being sent back!)…

I find it funny that we have elderly people who have worked hard their whole lives and cannot get help when they need it most, but we find the money to provide healthcare, education, housing, food, etc for people who are breaking the law simply by breathing the air in the United States…

I find it funny that we look to people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Ben Jealous to “bring people together”…

I find it funny that these people, along with others like Jay-Z, Beyonce, John Mayer, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, Stevie Wonder, and other scholarly dignitaries have more access to the President than those in charge of protecting the country…

I find it funny that a media who at times demonizes Republicans, conservatives, tea party members, and others on the “dark side”, praised a former Ku Klux Klan member as one of the most uniting Senators ever when he died…

I do not find it funny that the overwhelming majority of people in America know nothing about those who control their money, safety, and other aspects of their lives and personal freedom. I do not find it funny that many people who vote every year would not know who to vote for if the candidates were not labeled as “democrat” or “republican” on the ticket. I do not find it funny that the President and Congress are probably going to have an additional 15-20 million votes once they find a way to offer amnesty to those here illegally rather than enforcing law. I do not find it funny that government employees have enjoyed a much higher rate of pay increase over the last decade than private sector jobs.

Learn what the heck is going on around you and then make your decision…

When trying to decide who to do first, I thought to myself, who is the biggest nobody loser hack I can think of that has the closest ties to the fuhrer and his family. The person who came to mind is Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett. Look at her smiling face…

Now I understand that growing up, we all probably associated with some characters that we look back and wish we would have. We know people, and become friends with them, but occasionally learn things about that person that makes us stay away from them. However, in this case, Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett fell in love like a Bennettsville thug driving a Cheetos mobile falling in love with a Bennettsville thug driving a Huggies mobile (if you have no idea what i am talking about, then you are lucky).

As Michelle Malkin describes in her book, Culture of Corruption, Jarrett’s ties to Obama began when she worked with corrupt Mayor Richard Daley. As Jarrett moved up the government ladder, she drug along Michelle right behind her. One of these jobs was President and CEO of The Habitat Company. While you will see this position prominently displayed on her resume, you will not see mentioned the fact that she allowed public housing complexes to rot and fall apart to the extent that they cannot be lived in to this day. One of the complexes she oversaw, Grove Parc, received a score of 11 out of 100 on its condition by inspectors. Doesn’t exactly sound like anything to brag about.

One of the crucial decisions that Jarrett played a significant role in was the hiring of communist and admitted black nationalist, Van Jones, to the position that he would eventually resign form. Van Jones is credited with starting several groups, such as communist oriented Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM). Jarrett most likely became acquainted to Jones via her father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett. Vernon Jarrett was a labor movement activist who worked with Frank Marshall Davis. The two would pair up to to work with several communist organizations such as Citizens to Aid Packing House Workers, and the South Side Community Art Center, which were both known communist organizations.

Jarrett clearly displays the characteristics and has the type of past that can be devastating if she is allowed influence on key decisions. Jarrett, just as Michelle and Barack Obama, grew up in the corruption of Chicago politics. All 3 tout their background in community organizing, most of which focused on race-based objectives and shady activities. To think we have a President leading America that has never been as much as an assistant manager of a McDonalds, being advised by a disgraceful and questionable person such as Valerie Jarrett is scary. Unfortunately, the media does not report on these types of stories and many of the same people who woke up around 2PM, walked up from their parents basement, and forced themselves to go to the poll and pull the lever for Obama on that November day, will never do the research they should (one reason why people should have to take a knowledge test and pay taxes in order to vote, but thats another rant).

November is right around the corner…

1. Everyone needs to support Nikki Haley for S.C. Governor. She clearly has what it takes to stand up for what we need, and not give in to the poisonous left and media. I walked out my front door yesterday to proudly discover that a member of her campaign team had placed a Haley for Gov sign in my front yard, along with a spare in the walkway. That is personal outreach in my opinion. She has been endorsed by RedState.com, a terrific conservative site run by Erick Erickson from his home in Macon, GA. Also, though he has not always been my favorite, Mitt Romney endorsed Haley for Governor just this week. Take a look at her website, watch the video of the debate, and make your decision. Barrett, McMaster (while he needs to stay in as A.G.), and Bauer sound like 3 bumbling idiots throughout the debate. It is great!

2. Several California cities are boycotting Arizona over the new (not really new) immigration law. Really? I mean really? Does anyone care what these idiots think?

3. Phoenix, yes Phoenix, is threatening to sue AZ over the law. Mayor Phil Gordon must enjoy being the #2 kidnapping capital of the world. No better way to show your allegiance to the bad guy than by trying to stop the reduction of kidnappings and violent crimes in your own city. You know where the #1 kidnapping capital is? Take 1 guess…

4. President Obama said yesterday “I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.” And how much is that exactly? $10 million, $1 million, or your favorite number, $250,000? Yep, definitely following the be all you can be phrase.

5. A 3 yr old boy was arrested in France on suspicion that he was a terrorist. Not even worth going into…..

6. Charlie Crist is looking more and more like he is going to run against Rubio as an independent, since he is likely to get squashed in the primary. I seem to remember on FoxNews Sunday a few weeks ago, Crist clearly saying “I will run as a Republican”. Oh, but that must have been taken out of context. He clearly meant that as meaning that all options are still on the table. (not even Rahm Emanuel will take his calls).

7. Screeching banshee on the right, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, says that AZ’s new immigration law is wrong, and stated that the law can be compared to the actual breaking of the law by the illegals. She also stated support for Carl Levin’s ignorant repeated use of the word s**t over and over when speaking to Wall Street execs. “At least they are being held accountable” she claims???

8. Happy Meals have been outlawed in Santa Clara, CA. Please reference fun fact #2 above.

9. Obama used taxpayer money to help teach Muslims how to start their own businesses. A 2 day “entrepreneurship summit” was held this week to help improve relations with the Muslim world. Add this on to the millions spent annually on sending foreigners to American universities. I’ll remember this each money as my student loan payment automatically drafts from my checking account. Dang mom and dad, why couldn’t I have been Nigerian?

10. Today makes 2 days in a row that I have played golf and boy is it nice. Just thought I’d throw that in there.

Yes, after an 8 month hiatus, I am re-energized, and ready to get back to sharing my thoughts and feelings with anyone who has absolutely nothing else to do but accidentally stumble upon my website. In the past 8 months, we have seen everything from Tiger Woods getting caught screwing 12 women to Barack Hussein Obama somehow getting away with screwing over 300 million. We have at the moment, a new healthcare bill which has the hands of millions outstretching even further towards the federal gub-ment. We have states suing the feds, and Al Sharpton doing, well, whatever it is that he does. We also saw a real man, Phil Mickelson, win another green jacket in Augusta, and the All-American American Jack Swagger capture the World Heavyweight Title (Still not the best “American” themed wrestler. That distinction will always go to the real American hero, Kurt Angle).

In my personal life, the past 8 months has been quite good.  I decided to give Carnival Cruiseline a second chance, and boy was that a great idea. We once again chose the Bahamas as our destination, and what a nice place that is. I have never seen better weather, or more hard-working and nice people in my life. I have continued in the same profession, though i will not explain details, but I will say I have continued to ensure that the communication hopes and dreams of the Augusta area come true. Yes, I realized how old I am getting due to the fact that my brother will be graduating college in 2 weeks, and hopefully moving on to pursue a master’s degree and higher. Yep, that kid is alright in my book. Throwing age out the window, we also learned that the greatest annual event in the world, Wrestlemania, will be a mere 2 hours away from us next year. The only decision left to make is not will we go, but what characters will we invent and dress up as?

OK, now on to business.

I want you to take a look at these pictures…

All people you probably do not know. All from different parts of the country. I will briefly tell you about each going from left to right.

1. Officer Rodney Johnson of Houston, TX. As many officers are, Officer Johnson had been recognized for brave and heroic acts. One can assume he became a police officer because he wanted to make his community and city a better, safer place. In 2006, Officer Johnson pulled over illegal immigrant, Juan Leonardo Quintero, for what seemed to be a routine traffic stop. After discovering that Quintero had no valid drivers license, Officer Johnson arrested him and put him the backseat of the patrol car. During the officer’s pat-down, he apparently missed a gun that Quintero had concealed. Officer Johnson got in the drivers seat of his patrol car, and was abruptly shot 4 times in the back of the head by Quintero. Officer Johnson left behind his wife and their 5 children. Juan Leonardo Quintero, an illegal immigrant, had previously been deported in 2004 after his conviction of indecency with a child. Had the border been protected, Officer Johnson may still be alive.

2. 9 yr old Jordin Paulder of Fulton County Georgia. Jordin and friends were playing one day in the parking lot of the apartment complex where they lived. A car road by that appeared to have a bad tire. Jordin yelled out to the car hoping to get the attention of the driver to let him know about the tire. The car turned around, and Santos Cabrera Borjas, apparent illegal immigrant, got out of the car. He walked up to Jordin and slammed an axe into Jordin’s face. Borjas was killed shortly thereafter in a standoff with police. Had immigration received the priority that it should have, perhaps Jordin would be alive today.

3. Paramedic Ryan Ostendorf of Lawrence, Kansas. While driving to work one day, Ostendorf’s vehicle was struck head-on by the vehicle driven by illegal immigrant, Victor Anzua-Torres. Anzua-Torres had a blood-alcohol level well over the legal limit. He had even been deported before for drunken driving, but somehow made it back into the country. As Anzua-Torres told the attorney, driving while drunk is often seen as “tough” by Hispanics, and he wanted to show how bad and tough he really was. The paramedics that arrived on the seen to assist Ostendorf had the unfortunate luck of seeing one of the co-workers and friends die.

4. Robert Frentz of Arizona. Perhaps the most recent example of violence from illegal immigrants is cattle-rancher Robert Frentz. Robert was recently killed on his own land by what is believed to be an illegal immigrant who then fled to Mexico.  What makes this case so atrocious, is the fact that Frentz was actually known to help illegal immigrants he came across by offering them water in the extreme Arizona temperatures. Krentz was known to help anyone who needed help.

President Barack Obama, as well as Janet Napolitano, have stated on multiple occasions that American borders are secure. There are hundreds, if not thousands of reasons, such as those above, that these statements are 100% false and dishonest. This comes as no surprise, as is visible in the “out of nowhere” push for immediate immigration reform. The democrats claim that the reform they want will make Americans safer, protect jobs, and allow fair treatment for all Americans. Reasonable people clearly see thru the lies. We see that this is a mid-term election year, and the democrats are in trouble. They view amnesty as the pathway to even more reliable votes from those that would unjustly become American citizens if they have their way. While they are liars and crooks, they however are not stupid. They realize that a large thanks for Obama being elected had to go to the record numbers of African-Americans and Hispanics who voted for him. Without a minority Presidential candidate on the ticket in November, they realize that the race-based vote and support that got him elected, will not be as prevalent this November.

There are many prominent figures who claim that opposing amnesty is the result of being a racist. To them I say shame on you. Never can you make an argument or fight for a cause without involving race. I oppose amnesty and support COMPLETE AND SWIFT action be taken to seek out people who openly break the law and enter America illegally and immediately deport them. I heard a good point this morning made by Mike Church (if you do not know who this is, please listen to Sirius 144 at 9am daily). The fact that you are not an American citizen means that you are in fact a citizen of another country. It is not my job as an American to subsidize citizens from other countries, and this is exactly what has been happening for years.

Immigration is not about race. It is about preserving the rights of Americans, and preserving the rights of those immigrants who choose to move to the United States by following the appropriate legal path.

2004- Two men are arrested for possession and distributing marijuana. The men are picked up while driving a vehicle belonging to Michael Vick. Vick took no responsibility and blamed his friends for being untrustworthy. Well sir, who chose these friends?

October 2004- Michael Vick and friends were going thru security screening in an Atlanta airport. One of Vick’s friends (see a theme?) is caught on tape stealing the watch of a security screener when he was not looking.  The watch was eventually returned

2005- Woman claims that Michael Vick, a.k.a. Ron Mexico, intentionally and knowingly gave her an STD. She claims Vick knew about the disease, and sought treatment under the above alias.  Vick eventually settled out of court with the woman.

2006- After being booed by fans in the Georgia Dome following a loss to New Orleans, Vick gives 2 middle fingers to fans while exiting the field. He is fined $10,000 by the NFL, and also donates another $10,000 to charity.

2007- In yet another airport incident, Michael Vick is caught with a water bottle which contained a hidden compartment with what appeared to be marijuana. Vick claimed that the hidden compartment was for jewelery.

And then comes the dog-fighting allegations. After initially lying about the charges, Vick admits to the following…

*Allowing dogfights to be held on his property

*Gambling on the dogfights and organizing others to gamble

*Funding these dogfights including the dogs, kennels, cages, houses, as well as the instruments used to kill and torture the dogs

*Assisting in the training of dogs to learn to fight and creating vicious tendencies in the dogs thru torture

*Allowing the hanging of dogs who were old or failed to perform

*Allowing the drowning of dogs who were old or failed to perform

*Allowing the electrocution of dogs who were old or failed to perform

*Allowing the beating of dogs who were old or failed to perform

And this man deserves a “2nd” chance? I believe he is now in his 4th, 5th, 6th chance. Who knows at this point?

Even after all of this, while out on probation, Vick failed a required random drug test!

So you see, allowing him to re-enter the NFL is not a 2nd chance. He should have run out of chances long ago. He should be forced to the same tough life others face when they exit prison for a crime of this nature.

Michael Vick is a despicable human being, just as any person who participates in this type of activity is. Yes, I know there are plenty of people saying “Oh, he has paid his debt to society” or “He should be commended for admitting his mistakes”. Yes I know the law and yes i know people should be allowed to work when exiting prison. The problem I have is that after showing what type of evil and selfish person he is, that he will move on to making potentially millions over the rest of the football career he may still have.

What disappoints me even more are the numbers of people who rooted for him over this entire process. Those ignorant fans in Atlanta, and around the country, should be ashamed of themselves. Not only that, but the parents who raised them should be even more ashamed. People who are evil enough to commit these actions on animals, people, or anything do not deserve to have one thing made easy for them.

Do these people not feel that if he is evil enough to commit these actions, that there is not more screws loose in his sick head that could lead to even worse actions in the future? I do not feel that a person can engage in acts like this, and then suddenly be sorry and truly remorseful. This was not a 1 time incident or bad decision. This was a lengthy operation and was meticulously covered up and carried out. I do indeed hope he is truthful when he says he is sorry, but I do not believe it for a second.

Friday evening, a tremendous tragedy occurred in the House. First off, this happened despite the outstanding efforts on reputable and honorable Congressmen such as John Boehner (OH), Mike Pence (IN), and others to prevent this job killing energy tax that will most likely not make it through the Senate when the votes come down in the Fall. However, with a margin of 219-212, the House passed the bill, which covered over 1200 pages, including over 300 pages of amendments filed at 3:09AM the night before the vote.

Actions such as these should make it clear to voters who they must send to the ranks of the unemployed in the crucial 2010 elections. Unfortunately, a large bulk of the uninformed voters who cast a ballot for Obama, are most likely the ones who could not even tell you anything about what Cap and Trade is, or even that one of the most important votes ever in the House took place 2 days ago. They are the ones who view Republicans as “big evil businessmen, who cut deals with oil companies and others just to make a buck”. They view the Democrats as the ones “looking out for the little guy”. Wow, could they be more wrong?

It is 100% fact that if this Cap and Trade energy tax were to ever become law, it would kill thousands, if not millions of jobs. It would drive energy costs sky high for companies. This will then cause energy bills for the folks Democrats falsely claim to be protecting to go through the roof!

This bill is about nothing more than POWER. Power over the lives of the people living in this country. The Democrats will not rest until they control every last thing that we do. Some, including Obama and Pelosi, call this bill moderate and one that should appeal to both sides. THEY COULD NOT BE MORE UNTRUTHFUL. I am not saying they are simply incorrect. I am saying that they are simply liars. This is a radical, left-wing bill and does nothing more than give them more power and satisfy the desires of radical environmentalists, some of whom do not think the bill goes FAR ENOUGH!

Do you think I am wrong? Obama and the Democrats have answered this one for me. Part of this new tax is a rebate credit that will be given to low income citizens who are hurt by the higher energy costs that OBAMA himself admits will result!

Obama Quote from San Francisco Chronicle: Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Businesses would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that cost onto consumers.

There you have it. He said it himself! And still people will not listen. Now I want to get into who is directly responsible for this bill passing in the House. Now I understand that it was expected for Democratic members to vote with the Speaker on this. The pressure that her and the President most likely put on them was no less than tremendous, not to mention the “back-room” deals that were agreed upon to buy votes. The 8 members I would like to focus on are the so-called Republican members who betrayed their Party and more importantly the American people they represent. When you look at the states represented by these 8, they will come as no surprise. Nonetheless, they must be held accountable for their betrayal. Step one is to contact them directly, regardless of whether they are from your state or not. Their actions affect all of us and they must hear from all of us. Next to their names below, is the direct phone number to their office on Capitol Hill. No need to go through the switchboard, this will take you right to them.

Mary Bono Mack (CA)- (202)225-5330

Michael Castle (DE)- (202)225-4165

John McHugh (NY)- (202)225-4611

Frank LoBiondo (NJ)- (202)225-6572

Leonard Lance (NJ)- (202)225-5361

Mark Kirk (IL)- (202)225-4835

David Reichert (WA)- (202)225-7761

Chris Smith (NJ)- (202)225-3765

Call them. If they do not answer, call them again. If you are able to reach them, which I am sure will be difficult because their phone lines will most likely be turned off with the influx of calls, be polite and ask them what it is about the bill that they like. They will have no logical answer to this question. Tell them you will find out who they are running against next time, and you will ensure that they are defeated. Nothing will scare a Congressman more than the threat of not having that position. They must be held accountable.

And as for the Democrats, the passing of this bill for you will result in terrible things. After this, I am sure you will think you can try to hammer through more and more radical bills every day. You will fail at this, as well as fail at maintaining your House majority after the 2010 elections. You may think you are sneaky, but even your self-proclaimed wisdom will not get past the American people after your actions result in higher costs, fewer jobs, and a faster-shrinking economy than ever before.

These are just a few facts about what Cap & Trade will do…

-Electricity Rates will rise as much as 90%

-Over 1 million MORE jobs will be lost

-Federal debt will rise over 25%

-American families will pay on average $1500 more per year for energy

-Most importantly, Cap & Trade will do nothing to help the environment or reduce CO2 emissions which Democrats claim we must do

This is not an energy bill as Democrats claim. It is nothing more than a new indirect tax that will drive up costs and put people out of work. With energy costs having gone up for years now, this will cause the increase to take off like never before. Obama claims this bill will create jobs and also help save the economy. FALSE!

You all need to read ones of my favorite quotes ever by a man named William Boetcker…

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer.
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative
and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could
and should do for themselves.

Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it?

Warren Buffet (Obama Supporter) Slams Cap & Trade

Well, we have now learned who the next Supreme Court Justice will be. His majesty Obama has chosen a fair, balanced, constitution-focused justice who will do everything… Wait… that is wrong. Mr. Obama has nominated a racist, sexist, wannabe-lawmaker to hold one of the most prestigious positions in the country. Sonia Sotomayor, despite the fight Republicans will most likely wage, will be the next member of the United States Supreme Court.

In her acceptance speech, Sotomayor referenced a very honorable quote often used by Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg who quite often said ” a wise old man and a wise old woman would reach the same conclusion when deciding cases”. I think that Sotomayor missed the fact that the Supreme Court, as delegated by the Constitution, exists solely to INTERPRET what the Constitution clearly says. Sotomayor’s feelings on the quote are as follows… “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” Oh how could a statement possibly make her admit that she is more unqualified than this. As I watch the reaction to this pick unfold on the evening news, I cannot help but cringe.

It is people just like the one that was just interviewed as a “political expert” on PBS with Jim Lehrer. She said that this was a wonderful thing because it is important that throughout this diverse country, with the various cultures that exist, it is important that every American have someone in the court that they can relate to and have pride in. It is important that Americans have someone that will use their values and apply them to the Constitution. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The job of a Supreme Court Justice is to interpret what the founders wrote in the Constitution. It is not for them to decide what is right and wrong, what is legal and illegal based on their opinions, or to use their values to drive their interpretation.

Moving on, I want to show a video of Sonia Sotomayor. This is from a meeting a Duke University where she put her foot in her mouth once again. Stating that “All of the Legal Defense Funds out there — they’re looking for people with Court of Appeals experience. Because it is — Court of Appeals is where policy is made. And I know, and I know, that this is on tape, and I should never say that. Because we don’t “make law,” I know.  Okay, I know. I know. I’m not promoting it, and I’m not advocating it. I’m . . you know. ‘

This sums up her knowledge in what the job requires very very clearly. It shows that she in fact believes that the court makes the law. Clearly not what the Constitution allows for, but obviously what she admits and what she knows is the result of the Supreme Court being empowered to do just that for many years now.

In the end, this proves one thing. That Barack Obama has 1 of 2 problems

1. He honestly believes this person is qualified for the job (WRONG)

2.He has the evil and power-hungry motives that many think he does and simply nominated her due to reasons including exactly what she said in her quote, that she “is a wise Latina woman”.

This morning, a man that I used to say I would vote for for President of the United States had an opportunity. He had an opportunity to redeem himself for shocking Republicans and Democrats alike with his 2008 endorsement of Barack Obama. You see, after this tremendous mistake, Colin Powell had the opportunity to prove to the nation that he is indeed the Republican, and more importantly the Conservative, that everyone has always distinguished him as. As I expected, the endorsement for Obama was a sign of things to come.

The former Secretary of State started off swinging– for the wrong team. Host of Face the Nation, Bob Schieffer, began by discussing the recent comments by Rush Limbaugh and Vice President Dick Cheney regarding Powell. Specifically, Cheney’s week-old statement that he did not realize Colin Powell was still a Republican. Powell’s response CLEARLY is contradictory of itself. After starting off by saying that he is still a Republican, and clouting his 20 year record of voting for Republican Presidential candidates(leaving out his votes for JFK, Jimmy Carter, and LBJ-3 gentlemen that completely made a mockery of their position), Powell reaffirmed his endorsement last year for President Obama. When probed for reasons for this surprising decision, Powell began to show his true agenda-

Colin Powell admitted to feeling that if the Republican Party continues pushing further and further to the right (which I must say they have a long way to go), then this will open up the moderates and middle-of-the-road voters to be taken in by the Democrats. He follows by saying that there must only be 2 political parties–Democrats and Republicans. And for Republicans to be successful, they must move more towards the center. This statement alone should give him a free ticket out of the Republican Party and out of the minds of Conservatives as being one of their own. This man has completed what many say is the biggest turnaround in may years. While his call to Republicans to move more towards the center was a broad statement, he made sure to nail down exactly what he meant.

The hot topic that came up first was the talk of closing Guantanamo Bay. While there are Republicans that favor this, they are party members who can join him on his donkey ride out– Lindsay Graham and John McCain. Colin Powell appears to share Barack Obama’s “Citizen of the World” dreams. He feels that the fact that America catches and imprisons terrorists who are caught in the act of fighting and killing soliders makes us look “bad” in the eyes of the world. It makes us look as though we are not a “nation of law” as he puts it. Colin is right in one thing- it is important how the world views America. It is important that the world view us as a nation that is not “soft” or “tolerant” of those who choose to attack us here or around the world. It is important that the men are captured, thrown in prison, and the key thrown away. There have been many men released from Gitmo in the past. The fact is that almost 1 in 5 will go right back to planning and attacking Americans, quite often in the very same place they previously did. Powell says he supports Obama closing the prison, but only after Obama outlines a detailed plan of where to place the prisoners. Let’s see, prisons around the country are bursting at the seams of overcrowding. Guilty convicts are being given lighter sentences to free up space. And you, Mr. Obama, want to close a perfectly good prison which centrally locates the worst of the worst, and place these terrorists in prisons somewhere else in the country. Where is your logic? That’s it sir, you have none, and neither do you Colin Powell!

After this enlightening discussion, Powell moved on to several other issues. Powell stated that the people in America want an effective and fair government (I will give him this one). But, he did not stop there. He went on to claim that Americans want a government that will keep them safe (right), provide them aid thru groups like FEMA (ok, not going the right way), and finally, will HELP THEM OUT OF A DIFFICULT ECONOMY SUCH AS THE ONE WE ARE FACING NOW!!!!!! Mr. Powell, you are now out of the closet. No Republican, and certainly no conservative, should ever share this feeling. Powell specifically mentioned that he agrees with Barack Obama’s sharing of wealth with the rich and the poor, and the Republican Party should move in this direction (Sounds like Mr. Powell should get Meghan McCain’s number).

In closing, Colin Powell clearly demonstrated today that his days as a conservative member of the Party are well behind him. The Republican Party must not take action on any ideas such as the ones proposed by Powell today. They must do what true conservatives say they must do, and that is stick to conservative principles. How did George Bush win re-election in 2004? The Party focused on its base and transformed this into an excited Party who believed in a candidate that had their best interests at heart and would keep them safe for the next few years. We had a candidate this past year who fit exactly what Powell claims we need, and he was soundly defeated by the most radical President ever elected. This should silence people like Colin Powell, but unfortunately for us, it will not.

First off, you will see that the website looks different and you have not seen any posts in a while. I felt I was extremely limited in where I could go with the other website program I was using so with some great assistance I have made a change. It doesn’t look like much now, but I have some big plans ahead of me. Well, on to my story…

I want to tell you about a man. While I do not know very much about him, I feel I know enough to make my point. The man is between the ages of 70-80 years old. He is not afraid to talk to a stranger, and share some of the experiences he has encountered throughout his life. He has a family that he cares very much about, at least for sure 1 son that lives a good distance away but that he is very proud of and talks to every chance he gets. The man appreciates what he has in life, and respects what has allowed him to have it. What I mean by this is that he cares about his country and his freedom and he proved this by taking part in the Korean War. As are many veterans, he is extremely proud of this part of his life, and does not mind sharing stories about it with you. He served his country in a very active manner so that people like myself can have what we have today.

People like this deserve our help. While the man is getting up in years, it does not make anything he has done less important, and it does not mean that he deserves anything but the best from those around him.

What if I told you that in the coming years, and possibly months, this selfless and caring man may be denied  medical treatment that may be necessary to prolong his life? You may be saying, “Well that could not be”. Let me share some facts with you.

In Europe, more expensive drugs and treatments with fewer side effects are reserved for younger patients, while older patients are forced to receive less expensive drugs with vastly more side effects. This is due to the “free” healthcare system.

Studies of kidney dialysis in Europe has shown that over 20% of dialysis centers in Europe, as well as over have of those in England, have refused to treat patients over the ago of 65!

Currently, the elderly in America already receive “universal healthcare” in the form of medicare. In the United States, a majority of the money is spent on the elderly versus younger patients. What this means simply is that we are going to be working our entire life, paying in on a system (universal healthcare) that will NOT benefit us when we need it the most.

And Europe is not the only place that has been destroyed by Universal Healthcare

Canada, too, is afflicted with this type of healthcare system. While the following story is about one particular person, there are hundreds more just like it.

A man began having constant headaches and declining vision. He was not at an age where his vision should be deteriorating this fast so he knew something was wrong. As it stands in America, this person would have been able to call the doctor and schedule an appointment. NOT true in Canada. This man was told it would be 4-6 months before he could see a neurologist. Not wanting to wait that long, the man decided to travel to Scottsdale, AZ to the famous Mayo Clinic. After conducting  numerous tests, doctors determined that the man had a brain tumor which required immediate surgery. Not thinking that a doctor could turn away a man in his situation, he traveled back to Canada to complete the surgery. He was wrong. He was in effect told that he was now a number, and would have to get in line. The life of this man was not deemed “important” enough to save in a timely manner like he required. A little over a week later, the man traveled back again to Scottsdale and had the surgery.

This man is now a free market activist in Canada. He hopes that his efforts will eventually help Canada realize that their system is fatally flawed and will seek a change. Little did he know that the place he traveled to to save his life could quite possibly join Canada on the Universal Healthcare front.

President Barack Obama will stop at nothing to ensure complete government control over our economy, our healthcare, and our lives. Obama and the Democrats are concerned with one thing and one thing only– POWER. They want the power to save, and they want to the power to destroy.

They completely devalue liberty, freedom, hard work, success, self-reliance, and charity. They feel that we as citizens are incapable of taking care of ourselves and our families without their wisdom and assistance.  

You may now be wondering why I told you about the gentleman at the beginning of the story. The reason I told you about him is because if we do not stand up and fight against the socialistic principles that the Democrats and Obama stand for, people like this will not receive the care that they may need, and the care that they deserve. It is because of people like this that Obama and his cronies have the ability and freedom to shape this country as they do, whether that is a good thing or bad thing. People like this are the reason I have the freedom to go to work each day, to go on vacation, to have a family, and to write this post. It is people like this that made sacrifices for future generations, and it is us that take this for granted each day. Men like this deserve to be taken care of until the bitter end.

If we allow the ObamaCare plan to make its way into our lives, that will be the end. The reasonable, selfless, appreciative members of Congress must stand up and figh against it. I do not want to live in a world like that. It is not a world where people care about each other and help each other out. It will be a world where people must fend for themselves just to simply survive. That is not the way I want it, and that is not the way that the people who created this country wanted it.
