A sign of the times, Ft Hood should be a wake up call!

Every day, it seems, there is something new, something happens that just makes me wanna barf! If it’s not Nancy Pelosi, or our “President” doing something to destroy our country, it is the lack of doing something that will do the same. With all of the info they have on that terrorist at Ft Hood, and that is exactly what he is, why won’t anyone call it that?

Why is it that the progressives are so obsessed with passing the health care bill? Why is it that these people will not listen to the people that are supposed to be in charge? We The People, are the ones that should decide, why not hve a vote, of and by the people to make a big decision like that, maybe state by state, there are 50 states, so, if it comes out 25 states for aand 25 against, then its over! If it comes out 26 for and 24 against, its over and that means it passes, or, just let it be a national vote, by the people. I say get rid of all of the idiots in Washington, vote them out, rid our country of this “progressive” disease!

Back to the terrorist at Ft Hood, why is the military so politically correct, I say it is simple, if a gay guy wants in, let him in, but also let it be at his own risk, when I was in, we weren’t very nice to them, and guess what, they didn’t want in, because they knew they would get picked on, problem solved. Just like with the gay guys, if a muslim wants in, let them, but don’t be surprised when the rest of the people beat them up and make them want out, simple, just don’t make everything a hate crime, that is rediculous! Boys will be boys, now, you get in trouble for it! It is a natural thing, birds of a feather flock together, if a pidgeon tries to get with a buzzard, the pidgeon will get eaten, that is life!

I am so sick of all of this PC crap, speak your mind, and remove the penelty for doing so, it is my mouth, if I want to say something, it is my business and those that I am speaking to, no body else. Just like this site, if you don’t like what I write, post a comment and say so! Vent, let it out! That is what is missing in America now! We used to go to the bar, get drunk, get in a fight, and if the cops een were called, they just broke up the fight and sent everybody home. Now, if you even had one beer, and an idiot pisses you off, and you tell him he is an idiot, you end up in jail! Yet, they let terrorists in the military, yep, that is a sign of the times! We must take our country back, Vote the Assholes out! Hopefully, if they can manage to stop this health care crap, it will never happen again!

Americans are finally waking up, and unless we all get shut down with some new rule where they take over the internet, and get rid of conservative talk radio and tv, then maybe the next president will be worthy of his office! I’m sorry, I used to be somewhat of a moderate, now, I am a Conservative all the way! Yeah, I think pot should be legal for medical purposes, but other than that, we need to fix the border problems, we need to clean out the “muslim extremists”, pack them up, send them where ever, I don’t care. In fact, any of the groups that want to destroy America should be run out of the country, like the progressives, send them to Europe, let them see what its like, I lived there and it sucks! Stand up America, vote out the bad guys, vote in the good guys, lets clean up this mess that snuck up on us while we were busy working within the system that we didn’t notice was changing! It is time to realize that the sign of the times can be changed, VOTE in 2010!

The $1,000,000,000,000 Mistake

		U.S. Representative Michael McCaul 10th District of Texas 5929 Balcones Drive, Suite 305 Austin, TX 78731 (512) 473-2357
	For Immediate Release February 13, 2009 The $1,000,000,000,000 Mistake By Congressman Michael McCaul
	(Washington D.C.)- {For a time when the nation is full of talk of change, the Democrat leadership in Washington seems committed to repeating the mistakes of the past. The so-called stimulus package presented to us this week is no stimulus at all. In reality, it’s a Trojan Horse for billions of dollars in pork barrel spending. Democrats have said repeatedly that there is not a single earmark in this bill. In fact, the stimulus bill itself is one giant earmark, a massive collection of unnecessary spending, pet projects, and kickbacks to well-heeled contributors. While I do support some provisions of the bill such as the tax relief and investments in infrastructure, only 17% of this $1 trillion bill provides new tax relief and less than 10% provides new roads and bridges. This economic crisis demands leadership. It demands immediate tax relief for working families, and help for America’s small businesses, giving them the funds they need to stop the layoffs and hire more employees. It demands that we stabilize home values, and yes, give assistance to the unemployed. All these goals are fulfilled in an alternative plan that I support, but to which the Democrats gave little consideration. We cannot spend our way out of debt. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says that long-term, this package will do more harm than good. And the President’s own analysts and economic advisors say the Republican plan, which institutes long-term, meaningful tax cuts for individuals and small businesses, will create twice as many jobs for half the cost of the stimulus package. According to their calculations, this alternative stimulus would create an estimated 490,000 jobs in Texas, compared to only 204,000 in the final bill. At a critical moment in America’s history – when our nation desperately needs strong, principled leadership – Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid are bent on taking advantage of this crisis and manipulating the fears of American taxpayers to their own ends. Instead of creating jobs, they’re focused on pushing through massive overreaches of government. Consider Welfare spending. One measure in the bill seeks to take limits off of Welfare spending that President Clinton imposed 12 years ago. University of Texas professor and former assistant Health and Human Services Secretary Benjamin Sasse, explains that, “Through a little noticed provision of the stimulus package that has passed the House of Representatives, the bill creates a fund that is open-ended.” Sasse explains the provision would essentially remove the five year limit on federal benefits and jeopardize the requirement that recipients begin working after two years of government support. The stimulus package also includes a step toward government-run healthcare. It creates a new entity of bureaucratic oversight, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, to monitor your treatments. Thanks to this stimulus package, government will be looking over the shoulder of your doctor, preventing him from giving you any treatment they deem “not cost-effective.” How does putting a bureaucrat in Washington in charge of your health care stimulate the economy? How does it create jobs to roll back welfare reform, unleashing an endless stream of government handouts? Perhaps my favorite line item in this stimulus package is for $300 million to purchase golf carts. Something’s wrong with this picture when an economic stimulus package includes $300 million of hard-earned taxpayer money for buying $40,000 apiece golf carts. No one seems to know where they’ll even be used! In times of crisis, history should be our guide. It’s worth remembering an old statement from Henry Morgenthau Jr., the famous Treasury Secretary under President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression, who confessed, “We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before, and it does not work.” Printing money we don’t have will only result in inflation thereby increasing interest rates on credit card purchases and home mortgages. Spending the equivalent of a million dollars a day for the next three thousand years is not a solution, and it is not leadership to saddle our children with the cost of our poor decisions. It’s time to get Americans working again, and working for themselves – not for paying off the salaries of more bureaucrats and the costs of pork barrel spending. Michael McCaul represents the 10th Congressional District of Texas (####)

Socialism: Why is this bad for America?

For those of you that do not “Get It”, socialism is where control of your life, your business, your family, and everything else, is taken away from you and given to the government. Socialism always starts out looking like a nice thing, Free Stuff for Everybody! Welfare for all!  However, somebody has to pay for it!

I am sure that everyone has seen that the government CANNOT be trusted to spend money wisely, look at what happened with the TARP program, you know, the first wave of the bailouts, they have already “misplaced” $78 Billion! Had this program been handled the way it was said that they would, this money would now be helping things in the housing market, did it work? Obviously not, now they want more! So, where were you on the first one? Did you agree with it? Did it do you any good? Now, “President” Obama is trying to get a new spending bill shoved through the system, under the guise “Stimulous”, even Obama himself has called it a spending plan! So, why should We the People, let the government spend another Trillion or two, or three, or whatever it ends up being? We shouldn’t!

What is the plan? Well, at this point, Obama’s idea is to create jobs through re-building the infrastructure, you know, old government buildings, roads, bridges, and so on, sounds good right? Have you ever noticed who is doing the construction work? I don’t know about where you live, but here in Texas, you don’t see too many Americans actually doing the work, so, who will this help?

Here is another part, Obama is going to make the Unions have even more power, you know who runs the unions, right? So, if you combine Unions, and labor jobs, to get this “job” you will have to join a union! I have seen what happens when they are in charge, the cost of the job is more than double what the private sector could do the work for, that sounds wasteful to me. Does the $700 hammer come to mind yet? I thank God I live in Texas, those Pro Union states will be the one that waste the most money!

Back to the main topic, socialism, these union jobs are a perfect example of socialism at its best, in order to get these jobs, you must pay an additional tax, called “Union Dues”, since I am not in a union, I don’t know what the percentage is, but I do know it is like paying double the FICA tax you already pay! Now, lets look at this from the consumer side, do you know how much “extra” a car costs you because of the union? Well, the last I read, there is an addition $1000, just to cover the health care costs of the workers! Think about this, how many cars are built each day? Lets just say it is one car per employee average, that is what $30,000 a month, per employee,  just for health care! Here in Texas, you can get health insurance for a whole family for maybe $600, per month! See where I am headed? It is called waste!

I lived in Germany for almost 10 years, and at that time, I paid 10% of my gross pay for health insurance, a couple of years ago, my daughter, who lives there, told me it was up to 15%, then, she will be here in a few days and I will ask again what it is now, but regardless, 15% of your paycheck gone for insurance, that doesn’t sound bad if you only make a couple of bucks a month, but, this is per person, so, if you are married, husband and wife pay 15% each. What this boils down to, is myself and my ex, together were paying between 6-800 per month at 10%, at 15%, that would be 9-1200, per month, and yes, I was in my 20′s then! This is just for health insurance, the income tax is astronomical as well!

Once the government has control of everything, do you think prices will go down? Look at Luftansa airlines, owned by the German Government, to fly with them it costs double or triple the rate of an american airline like Delta, once the government bails out the airlines, who will be able to fly? What will happen to the cost of a new car? What about a government owned home? Is socialism sounding like a good thing? America is supposed to be free, the right to life, liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness and all of that right? As Glenn Beck has pointed out, the pursuit of happiness is not a guarantee of happiness, just the right to pursue it! We all have different levels of skill, intelligence, and ability, should the person who can earn millions be responible to pay for people like me that don’t? There is no such thing as a free ride, and if your boss has to pay more, just to have you as an employee, will you be the one he has to get rid of, to pay for keeping someone else? Remember, it is the dead weight that goes first, if you want a free ride, are you a productive employee?

Maybe you noticed, all of the big layoffs started when it became obvious that Obama would win, these companies were just getting ready for what was coming! Once you add in all of the Welfare and Entitlements, this country will be like France, in other words, a really big mess! Since it is these companies that pay the most in taxes, what else can they do?

Tax cuts are the answer, not more spending, if you are in debt and cannot pay your credit cards, do you go out and buy a new car? I don’t think so, but that is what this spending bill amounts to! If your neighbor does this, should you make his or her car payment? Well, that is what is coming, welcome to socialism!

If Obama gets his spending bill passed, and I am sure that he will, this country will be in debt at the tune of $37,000, per person, per year, are you ready to write that check? With the government bailing out, or buying, private companies, increasing entitlements, not just social security, but welfare as well, what will this do? Just get out that checkbook and don’t worry about it, the government will fix it, with your money!

Oh, I almost forgot, remember that tax cut for 95% of Americans? Well, I hope you enjoy that extra $13 on your paycheck!

Hillary Wins Indiana, Obama Wins North carolina, Now What? Who is going to drop out of the Election?

So, what happens next, will Hillary Clinton drop out? Funny, she and Barack Obama are almost tied for delegates, hmm, both just need to drop out! Just kidding, but what will happen? When will it happen? I can’t answer either, but I bet it won’t be pretty! These two are going to get down and dirty and start really throwing punches! I can’t wait!

For the last several weeks, all of the pundits have been saying that the elections of today would turn out the way that they have, does that make them smart, not really, if you listened to their reasons for predicting this outcome, it sounds pretty simple.

Yes, as sad as it is, it turns out that race and class do matter! That is just wrong! It hurts me to think that a black, white, or other, person would vote for, or against someone just because of the color of their skin, or gender, but it appears to be true. That is too bad, even the candidates tried to not make it so, maybe it is just human nature? I don’t know, but it is just wrong! Read more

What is up with Health Care? Where is the Crisis? Why all the hype? Health Insurance is Cheap!

This is 2008, and where is the best health care available? Here in the U.S.A.!

Have you ever lived in Europe? Have you ever actually paid for “Government” enforced health care? I have! I lived in Germany, as a civilian for about 5 years, and they took 10% of my pay to cover the cost of the “health insurance”, if you make $600 a month, that doesn’t sound bad, but, I made about 4K a month! That equates to what, 400 a month, that was just for me! My now late, ex wife, another example of the health care, also paid about the same, that is about 800 a month! Yes, my daughter, then a baby, was covered “free” under either one of us, what a bargain. At that time I was under 30 years old! Full heath insurance here in America would have been less than $200 a month, for all three of us! Wow, national health care is a great thing! Yeah right!

Here in the U.S.A. we have it made! If you have a “real” job, with benefits, you get it FREE! If you have a job, but not with a big company, still making a living, in the best country in the world, depending on your age, health insurance is still like $200 for an individual or less, that is cheap! My daughter, now almost 25, and still a student, in Germany, pays 15% of her part time paycheck! Her boyfriend, practically husband, is a banker, and also pays 15%, together, that is enough to cover at least twice if not 4 times what it would cost here, and that is if you are older, and unhealthy!

Here in America, the U.S.A., if you have no job, and no income, MEDICAID, is available! So, what is the problem? If you are like me, and served in the military, honorably, you have the VA to lean on! Thank God for that! I wrecked my back and can’t work, but, it is getting better, so I will soon. Anyway, what is the complaint? Are people too stupid? Maybe too lazy? Or, do they just want the government to do it for them? I don’t know, you tell me! Read more
