Tell me, if you had a trial lawyer who, through consistent acts of incompetence, got you into a bunch of trouble, would you not fire him? If you went to a doctor with a stomach ache, and he amputated your foot, would you go back to him for a fever? So why do we keep Obama in the White House when he has graphically demonstrated his arrogance and incompetence by destroying the US financial system and trying to take over very aspect of American life. He has proven himself to be an enemy of the American people by handing out citizens' rights to the terrorists who want to kill us. He has alienated every country he has visited, he accepted a Peace Prize to which he held no entitlement, when the people say "no" to Obamacare, he clearly calls us too stupid to understand and persists in cramming his legislation down our throats, he spends our taxes like a drunken sailor, he lavishes himself and his family at our expense, and he lies consistently. Is this the description of a leader of the free world? So where is the impeachment movement? No, not to be. We elected him, and we must suffer three more years of incompetence. Such is the price of fad voting and liberal guilt.

In six or seven decades, I have never heard a state of the union speech that was not a rehash of an administration's already failing policies. Osama's SOTU was certainly predictable in that vane. I suppose conservatives should be grateful to Osama for his excesses and ultra-liberalism. Even people of liberal tilt are disappointed with the incompetency of the Obama administration. Few people in distant memory have displayed such political ineptness as our Nigerian President. If he is given sufficient encouragement by the White House lackies, he will forge forward blindly in his arrogant and partisan ways, destroying the Democratic Party in his wake. Only the Peanut President has such a record of ineptness. Go, Obama, go! Obamacare, global scamming, spending, taxing...do it all until there is no DNC left, just smoldering ruin. And you loyal worshipers of the Messiah, hang in there. It's all good, eh? Lord knows, the Republicans aren't bright enough to do any better, but at least they fain the idea of less government and greater freedom. They probably wouldn't do worse, unless we, the electorate, give them a controlling majority. If you want small government, keep it snarled by leaving both parties in the minority.
"Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them" R. Reagan.

God bless the moderates and conservatives of the bluest of blue states. America has been saved from the excesses of a pro-Socialist government by the least likely to come to our rescue. Not only did Massachusetts' special election show just how much the heavy hand of Washington is despised, but it has finally exposed a truth we all understand. but seldom repeat to ourselves. The American people don't want any political party elected to Washington to hold a majority in all three branches. Checks and balances work best when we send a mix of political beliefs to represent our best interests. Dominance by one political party inevitably leads to excess. We all need to bear that thought in mind when we go to the polls. The more the Beltway thiefs fight amongst themselves, the less we, the people, lose to them. The less their excessive spending, the less their excessive mothering, the less their constant quest for more perk and privilege will effect our lives. The less attention we have to pay to our leadership, the more we can get done. Jefferson, a wise Virginian, said it right: "A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."

This is from a Jan 9th news feed..."Disruptive passengers caused two commercial airplanes to be diverted Friday, with military jets scrambling to escort a San Francisco-bound flight into a Colorado airport, authorities said." The jets were scrambled by the way to shoot down the passenger jet should the unruly passenger threaten to crash it into something more important than the passengers' lives. I have always thought flying as a mode of transportation to almost be more trouble than it was worth. Now I believe decidedly so. I know if you are a salesman and have customers coast-to-coast, it would be very hard to do your work by driving everywhere, but the bureaucracy has made it so difficult and dangerous to fly that we need to completely reconsider the airline industry. The biggest disservice to America committed by the Bush administration was TSA and Homeland Security. If an irate passenger just cannot tolerate the abuse of security regulations imposed upon the airline by TSA or HLS and blows off steam at a crew member, they scrambled armed fighters that are authorized to shoot down the plane. Wonderfiul! As if being 30,000 feet up in a fallible mechanical device werre not scary enough.

Rabbi Nachum Shifren from newswithviews.com:

"-- more than 10 million Americans have reached the 12th grade without having learned to read at a basic level
-- more than 20 million have reached their senior year unable to do basic math
-- almost 25 million have reached 12th grade not knowing the essentials of US history.

Totally aside from the tremendous waste of taxpayer money ( a recent UC Santa Barbara study estimates the drop-out bill due to Californians at $45 billion), we are creating a sub-class that can and will be manipulated by demagogues, preparing them for massive shifts in government control over individual liberties, transforming America into a third-class banana republic. We will march off to our work camps, cheerily singing hymns extolling "hope and change," thereby ending the golden period of America. " Those of us who are now entering the golden years must realize that we have lived in an America that is no more and will never return. It was the best of the American tradition, a country that hopefully received the world's tired, hungry, and poor from the despotism of Europe and Asia. The old world has caught up to the great experiment in government by the people and for the people. More persistent, more determined, more incidious are the forces for fascism and power. As we replace traditional faiths with a growing dependence on big government, the more enslaved we become, the closer to our ancestral roots in old world despotism. 

When the Constitution was being written by the founding fathers in the last half of the 18th century, John Adams tried to have voter qualifications as a part of the election process. He believed in regular free elections, but he was suspicious of the average citizen of the time. America, as in today, was populated with many uneducated, non-propertied, non-tax payers, who looked to the government for support and the solutions to their problems. Adams felt strongly that only educated, propertied, tax payers should have the privilege of the vote. He was voted down of course. The country had to belong to everyone and everyone had to have a say. Adams foresaw the time when the population of America would be disproportionately weighted to the federally-dependent, uneducated, non-propertied, non-tax payer. His vision has been realized. The Democratic Party now relies for its power base on such people, because they now outnumber the industrious and self-reliant. They are much easier to manipulate with promises and the tax dollars of others. They believe lies and propaganda, and since they have no desire for individual freedom, which requires individual responsibility, they will vote for the whiskey barrel party every time. There will be no standards of conduct, no judgment of results...just keep the whiskey flowing. Se le vie, eh?

It is official...health care reform, Dimo style, will be shoved down the throats of all Americans, including and especially, those that don't want it. It is also obvious what the Dimocratic agenda has become...autocracy and fascism. Instead of representation of all the people, there will only be the Dimocratic Party with its policies of surrrender, apology, and elitism. The people who built this country, settled it, industrialized it, fought for it, and died in its name were and are conservative, religious, and dedicated to individual responsibility and freedom. They stand for everything despised by liberal seculists. With the subjugation of 49% of the country, a shame , a disgrace overshadows the American tradition. Congress,under Dimocratic rule, no longer is subject to Constitutional law, no longer the servant of all the people, but instead follows a path to perk, privilege, and power...the very attributes that drove our forefathers from Europe to the American experience. Beware America, we are in danger...not from foreign intrigue, but from within.

Thomas Jefferson said, "In questions of power, let us hear no more of trust in men, but rather bind them down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution." Those words hold an even deeper meaning today, a time when the powerful seek absolute power. In every corner of Washington, DC, bureaucrats and the perennially elected are scurrying to find their permanent position with the coming "regime." I did not say the next administration, I said the next regime, the next hereditary prince. As America slips into a one-party, fascist politic, politicians no longer respond to the voters' commands, but instead seek favor from the all powerful. Like fawning jesters, Congress obeys its Party's precepts and ambitions, ignoring any public protest of their actions or inaction. More and more this country begins to look and act like Old World Europe, that earthly place from which our fore bearers sought escape. The privileged few are exalted; the common citizen once again subjugated.

Conservatives should cheer Mr. Obama on, he is after all the best advertisement for conservatism there could be. He owns, thanks to liberal voters, the authority of the presidency without the guile, intelligence, or experience to do the job according to America's priorities. He is becoming, even among liberal apologists, an embarrassment of mistakes and bad decisions. They are becoming almost too numerous to enumerate from allowing shyster lawyers to represent America's enemies ina sham trail which will be a praganda platform for Islamic rage to allowing the continued killing of US service personnel in a under-manned and under-funded war by being indecisive. He defends outrageous federal deficits by lying about jobs created by his failed stimulus. The more of Mr. Obama the country gets, the more they will wish for someone else. Go, Obama, go! Just hope, America, that he doesn't destroy the country by his tenure.

The latest scandal comes out of a British university (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/21/science/earth/21climate.html?_r=1&hp) from which emails dating back several years show that scientists were slanting conclusions in favor of global warming in order to insure grant money would keep flowing. I lived in the academic environment for several years, and became aware of the fierce competition among university professors for grant money. Their very jobs depend on the size and frequency of their support from grants. Without grant money there are no graduate students, thus no publications and no tenure. Would, for the sake of a career in academia, a professor or scientist slant the conclusions of his research to get him more grant money. Hmmmm? No way, I say! We scientists have a code of ethics and conduct. And if you believe that, I have a bridge I would like to sell you.

Our present Dimocratic congress is in the process of drafting laws (Obamacare and Cap and Trade) that are being professed to be for our good. While the citizenry objects to having these laws shoved down our collective throats, the Dims are not perturbed. These laws are in fact a government take-over of the US health care system and energy sector. Private enterprise, the very backbone of democratic capitalism, is being pushed out in favor of federal fascism, aimed at the final acquisition of total federal power. In many ways the Dims are reviving the philosophy of John Adams, who believed voting should be restricted to the affluent, educated, propertied, tax-payer. He believed the average person was not capable of a responsible choice among candidates for public service. He did not anticipate the Dimocrates actually counting on the ignorance and greed of average American voters, who look to Big Brother to feed and cloth them. They will always vote their stomaches before their understanding. In this respect liberal elites manipulate and use the average voter and buy his vote with tax-payer dollars, creating a dependent and obedient electorate. And so it goes...

..."government for the people, by the people"...no longer accepted, because it represents the finest tradition of America. Through a generous helping of liberal secular progressivism, traditional values have become passe and trite. We have become a Godless country with no restraints on appetite or action. Everything goes, and political correctness covers the truth nicely. The Dimocratic Party, for all its high-sounding rhetoric, seeks only power over the people. The DNC has become the Central Committee in every sense of the word. The Decline of the West is at hand...Spangler has become the Prophet. The "Followers" continue the decline, encouraging Hedonism by the enactment of law condoning everyone's right to whatever turns them on. Power, perk, privilege, and domination are the watch words of big government. And so it goes...
