Buyer Beware

June 24, 2009 – 5:08 pm
Bills structured to improve healthcare for Americans are currently being drafted in Congress. The President will address the American people on ABC tonight to discuss why an expansion of Medicaid is needed. Many believe that these efforts will bring the U.S. one step closer to socialized medicine, others contend that the government should provide healthcare. So far no discussion has been set forth explaining how it will be paid, nor what kind of impact it would have on the already struggling private sector. With many industrialized nations providing universal healthcare to its citizens, many in the U.S. find the concept appealing. On the other side of the coin, many understand that a free market solves economic problems better than a bloated government. The more the government gets involved in the private sector, the more adverse effect. For example, when the government forced banks to make risky home loans to low ...

Mr. Obama, Where is Your True Birth Certificate?

December 3, 2008 – 7:28 am
Well, well, well, it looks like all us “conspiracy theorists” might be on to something after all. “The Office of the President-Elect” has not produced a true copy or original Birth Certificate showing that Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States, and is qualified under the United States Constitution, to become the next President, after numerous requests to do. And guess what? There is absolute silence from the pissant media, including some of the country’s most hardened conservatives and so called purveyors of truth. No surprise here. It’s in countries like Communist China that information is purposefully withheld from the public, and the way things have been moving along lately, only us “conspiracy theorists” or internet bloggers are unafraid to uncover the truth. There have been many articles floating around and I will try to link to as many as I can (h/t to larwyn, contrairimairi, Mitchell Langbert’s blog, ...

I Had a Bad Dream

November 18, 2008 – 11:40 am
I woke up in the middle of the night after having a nightmare that the country of my birth, the country that I love had changed from a God fearing, free market, freedom loving country called the United States of America into a communist State, controlled by bad politicians, an ineffective police force, and a pissant media hell bent on demonizing traditional values. My nightmare consisted of the following: An innocent little old lady defending traditional marriage, being pushed around and encircled by a gang of thugs, with no one around to help her, crying because several men, at least twice her size, stomped on her cross of Christ Jesus, the world’s true Savior. A presidential administration being excoriated for allegedly permitting torture of captured terrorists trying to kill American soldiers on a battlefield, and an organization purporting to protect American civil liberties claiming that these prisoners ...

Obama Won By Lies, Fraud and Manipulation

November 10, 2008 – 4:00 pm
I am a partisan I admit it. It is my right as an American citizen to say what I feel and why. I believe the election of Obama is based on lies, fraud and a unified effort to stop the Republican Party from advancing politically. The Bush haters have won, and the American people have lost. They lost because they were duped into believing that Obama offers something much more than he does. That Obama will take his oath to follow the guidelines of the United States Constitution, but he won’t. That Obama is willing to put partisan politics aside and do what is right for America, but he won’t. That Obama will protect our Nation from harm’s way, but he won’t. That Obama will protect the freedom of speech of those who disagree with him, but he won’t. That Obama will “fix” the economy, but he ...

Conservatism is Still Alive in America

November 5, 2008 – 2:28 pm
Of course I woke up this morning with a big fat headache, and a well of tears in my eyes, but I shall move on.  I do not dislike Obama on a personal level, nor do I dislike his supporters, I am simply disappointed that Americans are so misinformed about American history and politics that they would elect the most liberal Senator in Congress, just because he is a Democrat and a black man. Surely Obama offers "change" and "hope" to the many African Americans who have felt isolated and abandoned by a society and a history that judges men by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.  I submit, however, that what Obama has successfully done is turn the late and great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s rhetoric on its head.  Whether it was Obama’s intention or not, many Americans voted for Obama based upon ...

Wake Up America

October 26, 2008 – 6:40 pm
My friend and fellow blogger Mitchell Langbert posted a link to a very candid and good article from National Review On-line summarizing the messiah-like effect the Obama campaign has on its followers.  This is more dangerous than the normal political fans because it perpetrates a falsehood about a candidate who is, after all, human. Personally,  I am sure Obama is a nice man, and a good father and husband, but politically he encompasses an idealogue that is way out of the mainstream of most Americans, which National Review has pointed out (I strongly recommend you read it).  Obama's vision for America is quite different from the image that our founding fathers imagined. In a capitalist society, there is an owner and a worker, that's the hard truth.  Without the owner's capital, there can be no workers.  That's how things work in a capitalist society.  If you take away the profits of the ...

Why I’m Voting Democrat (Not!)

October 24, 2008 – 7:56 pm
(Editor's note: I received this forward from a friend of mine.  It is a sad reminder of what the Democrat Party has become.  For those of you still undecided in this year's election, please take a moment to read the following letter which in my opinion accurately describes what an Obama presidency would look like.  Senator John McCain is the only candidate who has the experience, determination and commitment to be the next President.  The New York Times caters to a very selective readership and do not possess the judgment required to pick the next President.  Don't let them convince you otherwise!) I’m voting Democrat because like most Americans I trust Lawyers more than anyone else, I think only lawyers should run the government, and all the Democrat Leaders are lawyers: Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, John Edwards, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Leader Harry Reid, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, ...

Subprime Mortgages Fail

October 1, 2008 – 2:10 am
Speaker Pelosi, in her usual style, blames the Republican Party for all that woes America, including the current failure of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac to uphold sub-prime loans. The evidence tells a different story, and places top Democrats and Democrat policy right in the middle of this mess.  Please take a few moments to see this video which explains what happened. Lt. Col. Allen West, candidate for Congress (Florida's 22nd District) issued this press release that further explains why bailing out irresponsibility with the people's money does not work, is unfair, and opens the door to further irresponsibility.
