The Government vs The People, you decide!

Here we are, waiting for President Obama to give his first State of the Union speech, and I expect it to be another of his me, me, me, lectures, about how he and the Government can solve or have already solved all of our problems but we are just too stupid to notice it. If I hear him blame President Bush one more time my head is going to explode!

The government is not the answer it is the problem, only President Reagan said it, and it is the truth, and the people are finally standing up and putting their votes where their mouths are! Look at what Massachusetts did, talk about a slap in the face! I bet ole Teddy is rolling in his grave! He and the rest of the progressive liberals just knew this was the way to government control, but even the people of the most liberal state in the union have said that is enough!

I expect to hear Obama talk about how wonderful he is, and how much the American people suck, and how he will fix everything no matter how bad Bush screwed it up! Of course he is going to seem to move more to the center, but it will all be lies, just as usual. This year is going to be an upsetting time for those socialist bastards that want to take us over and ruin our way of life, because now that our eyes have been opened, we shall vote them out, each and every one of them! Regardless of what lies Obama spews tonight, We The People, will overcome!

Pay close attention to what the “Chosen One” says,  it will be nothing but a regurgitation of the same crap the progressives always spew! His spending freeze is a joke, he increased the spending, and now wants to lock it in so it cannot be cut! Obama talks out of both sides of his neck, the progressives will stand up and cheer, but the rest of us should see through the lies, it is nothing but a bunch of crap! Just another way to try to take over the country and turn us into something we are not and do not want to be! Who do you want to be in control, We the People, or, the Government?

Is This Obamas Sneaky Little Secret?

I think I have figured out what Obama is up to! I may be wrong, but I believe that I am at least pretty close!

I am sure that you have noticed all of the things happening in our country, and the world, like North Korea trying to provoke us into doing something, Iran having an election, followed by the people rising up, due to miscounted votes, and of course, our own beloved President Obama and his henchmen, and women, spending every penny on the planet that Fedzilla can borrow, yet, the mainstream media says nothing? I believe that I know why!

If you will remember, Joe (the mouth) Biden, even warned us, that within six months President Obama would be tested, was this a gaff? Did Biden say this for a reason? I believe so, after all, I don’t think that his so called gaffs, are what they appear to be, I think it is all part of Obama’s plan! Remember what I wrote here, “Is anyone else getting this?“,  take a closer look at the photos on that page, read what I have written there. Well?

Many people will say that I am nuts, but if you combine all of what our “President” has already done, with what the world is doing right now, maybe I don’t seem quite so crazy?

The whole world hated Bush, yet the whole world, even our enemies, love Obama, doesn’t this make you even a little bit suspicious? When the people of Iraq started to stand up, the first time, after Daddy Bush had driven Saddam out of Kuwait, and promissed them we would be there to support them, yet he fell weak under political pressure and abandoned them, remember that? Well, when G.W. Bush came along, they didn’t trust him, heck, I wouldn’t have either, if you were them, would you? Well, when Dubya actually did what he said, and freed them, then didn’t fall to the political pressure and stood by his word, what happened? The people of Iraq stood up and voted! Freedom actually happened! What happened next?

IRAN, not the people, but the rulers, the Mullahs and Ahmad-the-nut-job (Ahmadinejad), started causing problems in Iraq, but why would they do that? Simple, they were afraid of Bush! They were afraid of America, and the freedom that America represents! Well, look at what has happened now, the Iranian people are standing up! These people know that these protests could lead to their death, not caused by America, but their own rulers! Is this a signal or what? So, what has our, “Ruler” done? Nothing! Why? Obama says he doesn’t want to meddle, but, Iran’s rulers are blaming the U.S. anyway, no, they are not pointing the finger at Obama, like they would have Bush, but, they are pointing it at America! I believe that a “real” American President would have at least made a statement of support for those people, maybe there is a reason he doesn’t want to encourage them? Looks to me like that desire to be free has seeped accross the border from Iraq, maybe Bush was right?

Here in America, soccer (real football, played with the feet), doesn’t mean much to anyone, but, to the rest of the world, it means a lot, you could call soccer the world’s sport, now to the point, did you notice the green armbands that these players of the Iranian team are wearing? These armbands are to show support for the people of Iran that are standing up to their government! OK, the millions of people marching in the streets may be tough to identify, but the Iranian national team? Everyone knows who they are, who their families are and so on, now, to me, that makes a statement!

Now, we get to my point of this article.

Why hasn’t Obama done anything, about anything? What’s up with those bogas Treasury Bonds? Why was Obama grinning the way he was in that picture with Chavez? Why were Chavez and Ahmadinejad smiling and laughing in that other picture? Why was his statement to the Iranian’s so weak? Why was his statement to North Korea so weak? Why is he so obviously spending us into debt? What is going on with all of Biden’s little slips? Why did Hugo Chavez say that Obama is even more liberal than he? Haven’t you figured it out yet? Obama is using all of this as smoke and mirrors! Obama doesn’t want his sheep to find out he is taking them to be slaughtered! Maybe not literally, but financially! Obama wants this country to be so weak, like he appears to be, so that we can’t do anything about what he has done! Dictators, like Chavez, and Hitler took control of the countries by deception, so, why wouldn’t Obama do the same thing? Maybe that is what Chavez was referring to? Maybe that explains it all? I hope not, but if you look at Obama’s friends from the past, like Bill Ayers, ACORN, and that bunch of radicals, even that Reverend Wright could be an indicator of things to come! Once the county is broke and we are all on welfare, then Obama, Chavez and Ahmadinejad can finally get that group hug picture!

Obama:big mouth or diplomat?

If you saw Obama and his town hall meeting in Istanbul, I bet you missed one key thing that he said, that definitely, had to be heard by someone other than just myself.

Obama, while answering questions about U.S. Relations with Muslims, he said “maybe we should put the mothers in charge”, I bet that went over real well! If you don’t “get it”, I will explain.

This comment just shows how little President Obama actually knows about this subject, why? Do you remember seeing how the Taliban were treating women? Do you wonder why the Muslim women have to wear a burkha? Why the women were not allowed to go to school? Why these countries that have Sharia law are so opposed to the U.S.? It is because we believe in equal rights and freedom for everybody, not just men!

By saying that maybe the mothers should be in charge, he is saying that these male dominant societies should be, in their minds, reduced to following a woman. That sounds like an insult to me!

Like it or not, any place that requires a woman to cover herself up, completely, due to their religion, and thousands of years of history, is not likely to appreciate what he said, I just wonder if anyone else will catch it, so that they can spin it into being some sort of “innocent” accident, you do remember the reactions to the cartoons showing Mohammed?

Gun Control: What separates reality from fantasy and paranoia?

Gun control, a big issue, but, what separates reality from fantasy and paranoia? The shooting in Pittsburgh is but one of the first, I fear, that will have at least some basis in the belief that President Obama and his regime, will somehow find a way to circumvent the U.S. Constitution, and take our guns away. This is the paranoia.

Don’t get me wrong, what the guy in Pittsburgh did was wrong, how it got started, his mental stability, his job loss, and so on. all play a part in this, but, what does it prove?

Americans have very little confidence in the government, and fear that the Constitution is in jeapardy. This is a huge problem, and could trigger more of the “less stable” to snap!  President Obama and his henchmen, will, if they get a chance, limit our rights to “Keep and bear arms”, we all know it, but, it is these type of events that give them the “ammo” (pardon the pun), to get the population behind such an idea!  This is where the fantasy comes in, it is that the very group that wants to keep guns, doing stupid things, that the “other” side believes is reality, this guy has provided fuel for their fantasies of getting rid of guns! The fantasy, of the perfect Utopia with no guns.

My heart goes out to the families and friends of anyone harmed in what this guy did.  Maybe we can all learn from this? The state of our society is in panic, because so many of us believe that the very fabric of our founding, is going to be unraveled, one line of the Constitution at a time, do we need to start shooting at each other? NO!

What we need is to stand up, and speak out, get others like us involved in expressing that “We the People” want to keep our Constitution, and maybe, just maybe, some that are teetering on the edge of sanity, will not be able to use that fear as an excuse! People come in all shapes, and flavors, but we have one thing in common, we are all Americans, and we need to act like it! People get sick, people go crazy, we all have problems, but, we can not blame one mans problem on all other mens freedoms! (or womens)

“This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.”

An email from Michael McCaul 4/3

April 3, 2009

Dear Friends,

This week I continued to stand up for the taxpayers in my district by voting against President Obama’s and Speaker Pelosi’s $3 trillion a year budget.  Unfortunately, it passed.  Over the next five years it will double the national debt.  Over ten years it will triple our debt and raise taxes by $1.4 trillion.  I encourage you to visit my new website, where you can see how quickly our debt is adding up, and view my speech on the House floor before yesterday’s vote.

I voted for an alternative to this massive spending bill called The Path to American Prosperity.  It’s a blueprint for economic recovery that keeps spending and debt under control, keeps taxes low, and still addresses the country’s core needs.  The Republican plan:

• Spends $4.8 trillion less than the Democrats’ budget over 10 years
• Brings spending back down to 20.7% of GDP, in line with the historical average, instead of climbing to 24.5% of GDP as proposed in the Obama budget
• Freezes non-defense/non-veterans spending, instead of increasing non-defense spending by more than 9% as proposed in the Obama budget
• Borrows $3.6 trillion less than the Obama budget over 10 years
• Increases the Defense budget by $5 billion over the cuts in the Obama budget
• Increases Veterans funding by $540 million over the President’s budget
• Institutes pro-growth tax cuts instead of $1.5 trillion in tax increases on small businesses and families as proposed in the Obama budget
• Creates 2.1 million more Jobs than the Democrats’ Budget
• Suspends capital gains taxes through 2010 instead of increasing taxes on investment
• Institutes needed entitlement reforms to ensure the long-term solvency of Social Security and Medicare

Today I am heading back home for the April District Work Period.  Over the next two weeks I hope to see many of you as I travel the 10^th District to discuss our economic situation, and continue to offer solutions.

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!
