Just some observations on what is happening in our country.
First... The recent election has shown Washington that the real taxpayer is fed up with the abuse of power of the executive branch, the inaction of Congress, and the disintegration of our American ideals.
We are being sacrificed at the altar of Political Correctness and I think real Americans have said enough is enough!!
Second... The Republican Party leadership needs to get a set of stones. This president is shredding the Constitution and it must be stopped or we are done as a Republic. If the Republicans think they won without the backing of the real Tea Party, aka the taxpayer, woe to them. Let them go along to get along and you will see the Senate and presidency in Democratic hands in 2016. Government must be scaled back to be accountable to the people, and the Republicans must act now!
Third...Stop destroying the military. The Air Force is working with obsolete aircraft, the Navy is too small for its mission. The Army is losing many field grade officers and is the brunt of Obama administration social engineering, and our Special Forces are spread way to thin.
Secure the borders...period!!!
Repeal Obamacare. This is nothing but a wealth redistribution while at the same time destroying the finest healthcare system in the world. Make Insurance portable across state lines, reform the tort laws, give incentives for people to stay well, and have all people on Medicaid pay even jus a small premium to keep them as consumers and not just consumpters!
Illegal aliens must register and get a green card and start paying taxes. Their path to citizenship should be limited to a 5 year contributing member to our society. No anchor babies, and no distribution of children throughout the country. These kids do not even meet the most basic health parameters that would keep an American child out of school.

US Senate votes for law abiding Americans! For a change!
Congratulation to the US Senate for finally getting something right! The gun bill as proposed would create a federal data base of all legal gun holders in the country. What is wrong with that? Ask any one who lived in Nazi Germany during the 30s. Look what happened in Great Britain and Australia, look what happens in the big cities in this country with strict gun laws. Nothing good for the honest citizen. The dirty little secret is that most responsible gun owners are not going to pull out a Bushmaster if some creep comes up their steps at 3 in the morning. The reason behind the curtain is that an armed citizenry is what any government fears. It is the best check and balance we have against a tyrannical government. Think it can't happen here, just look how our freedoms are being chipped away. You have them controlling our healthcare choices, our resources, our property rights, our upward mobility, our children, our elderly. They leave our country vulnerable to terrorists through a porous immigration system; they have a foreign policy that has left the Middle East in turmoil, and has the Far East on a war footing. Our allies can't trust us, and our enemies laugh at us. This country is in a world of hurt. Obama and his Socialist ilk are bleeding this country dry. His fiscal mess will probably never be undone. Why does all of this come back to the gun issue, simple: The country is being led into a period of civil unrest that will resemble a civil war. Not necessarily like the one in the 1860s, but a clear fracturing of the American people every bit as dividing. Why is the government stock piling ammo, and what does Homeland Security need personnel carriers for? I am not a right wing nut, or a conspiracy theorist, but I am a student of history, and history is replete with the societies that collapsed from within because their citizens gave up rights, responsibility, and their weapons. Thank you to the Senate. One for the good guys!!

The New America
America the not so beautiful...
Now that the Pravda styled media has gotten a dumbed down public to reelect the worst president in our history, let me share a few observations on where this country is heading.
Let's start with the fiscal cliff which became front page news the day after Obama was reinstated.
The reason is quite simple. Obama can afford to let us go over the cliff because he will get much more tax revenue than he ever could by just taxing "rich" people. He also has the power of his Goebels inspired friends at all of the networks to demonize the Republicans with stories of how they don't care about the middle class.
Think about it. The media crucifies the Republicans for two years with the sole purpose of helping the Democrats regain control of the House of Representatives. Obama will pontificate for those two years how the Republicans will just not work with him. The stupid people will go along when they are not slobbering over the latest Twilight movie.
Obama care goes into full confiscation mode in 2014. There are fees, taxes, ans penalties that will further decimate the upward mobility of every American. No one bothered to ask the medical profession about health care delivery and how it will be affected. You will see a staggering loss of qualified doctors, and, a rationing system that will border on intentional destruction of peoples lives by denied care.
We are now the Saudi Arabia of oil. So what! Have you seen anything in this mans energy policy that say independence. The only independent people I've seen are the honchos of alternative energy companies that reaped great treasure by bundling taxpayer money into their failed venture, and laundering it back to the Democratic party.
Public service unions, which have no business existing are also conduits for the Democratic reelection hopes.
Foreign policy, Obama's strength???
We will never get the truth about Ben Gaza period. Israel will be at war soon. The Muslim Brotherhood is moving into every country in the Middle East, China owns us, the Russians laugh at us, our allies don't trust us, and while GM is alive, Al Quida thrives!
Killing their figurehead leader was like cutting one head off of a Hydra. It seems every week we are killing some top commander yet they are spreading throughout many under developed countries.
We are in a tailspin from which we may never recover! Most younger people will never enjoy the upward mobility of their parents, and sadly, they have been nurtured by a system that is telling them to do less with less.
Goodbye America. I loved you for your goodness, strength, honesty, and dignity. You are losing much of that, and the world will miss you when you die.Let's see who else comes in force to help the next country ravaged by a natural disaster. I think the people of New Jersey and New York are already seeing what its like to be in Barry's world.

The truth about the upcoming election.
Just returned from CPAC in Washington DC and there were several things that impressed me that I would like to share.
First off: The conservative side of the Republican party will line up behind Mitt Romney, no matter what the mainstream media tries to spin differently.
On the straw poll taken at CPAC, plus a national voting mechanism that was put in place to correspond with the CPAC vote, Romney won both handily. Remember that people who attend CPAC are the conservative hard core,and those most earnest in addressing the concerns of the nation in traditional ways that have made the United States the pillar of freedom and opportunity. What we look for this year is a candidate who can beat Obama, and turn this country around from the dangerous spiral it is in. President Obama in three years has managed to destabilize not only the United States, but also the entire Middle East, our strategic ties with our new Eastern Europeon allies, negotiated a disasterous arms treaty with the Russians, embolden North Korea, China, insult Canada, and coddle Mexico. No leader worth the title can truly believe that our foreign policy is strong and purposeful.
Now in Afghanistan, while the Chinese move in and buy up the mineral rights and mine there, and our precious military is bled for a corrupt unsustainable government in Kabul, Obama's administration is embracing talks with the Taliban! This is the same group that executed women in stadiums, denied women the most basic of freedoms, harbored terrorist training camps,(anyone remember 911?)and tortured men for not having beards.
It is time to hope that change is coming in November, America is at a tipping point on a par with the Civil War, Great Depression, and World War 2. Four more Obama years are not an option!
Back to CPAC. Another point worth noting is the large number of young people attending. The majority of attendees were in the 18-55 category, and it was obvious that a large percentage of that group was well under 40. It was also telling to observe the large number of young women attending. My guess is that it is because young people have the most to lose if the country does not change direction. They are looking at a future which leaves them little hope for a better life than their parents. There is no upward mobility in a Socialist state.
Last observation. The CPAC crowd was polite, respectful of others, dressed nicely, and for the most part in shape. These are people that practice personal responsibility, and realize that the only way they can convey their message is to live it. They do not need a nanny state telling them what to eat, what to put in their gas tank, how to light their house, who to get their healthcare from, or to follow blindly a Chicago hack politician who's past we really do not know much about at all....We do now!
Let's make Obama past tense, and he and Jimmy Carter can travel arm and arm around the world telling the foreigners and fellow travelers who worship them that they really were great presidents, and that the American people were just too dumb to realize it...
Call me stupid then, let me call them both failed first termers!

Presidential presence
My congratulations to President Obama for finally realizing he is a leader, or more importantly, acting like an adult.His decision to take out Bin Laden was very risky for him politically, since I am sure he had Jimmy Carter's debacle in the desert in 1979 on his mind. That disaster more than any other weakness Carter showed, put the final nail in his political coffin.
I am sure that Obama has no clue how good our military is, and how dedicated they are to destroying the enemies of our way of life. I hope this was an epiphany for him.
He cut his golf game short to watch "the show'"
He would have been better pictured glued to the command center waiting for word of the commencement of the operation. That would look much more commander in chiefish.
The temporary bump in the polls will fast fade as the economy bends under the weight of his incompetence,and the American people of all classes watch their quality of life continue to slide.
I congratulate President Obama on the most adult decision I have seen him make since his unfortunate rise to power, and I hope that he gets plenty of time to reflect on his one shining moment when he is in retirement after 2012.
