Vote Democrat and Win Life’s Lottery

Courtesy: Creators.com

Throughout America’s history communists and socialists have camouflaged themselves and hidden behind seemingly innocuous words like progressive, new freedom, new dealer, liberal, and Democrat. This year, President Obama has recycled an oldie but a goodie to mask his socialist policies, the buzzword for his re-election campaign is “populist.”

You see, for more than a century, socialists knew that they had to hide behind the veil of secrecy because if anyone ever pulled back the curtain of truth and exposed them, the American people would reject their subversive policies every time, because they are decidedly un-American. They made a grave miscalculation when Barack Obama was elected president; they thought they could finally come out of the closet (pardon my faux pas), that America was finally ready to accept socialism. However, they couldn’t have been more wrong, Obama’s election awakened the American electorate like never before, and in 2010, the political pendulum made a decisive swing back to the right.

Recognizing that they have lost momentum and that they no longer control the debate, President Obama and the Democratic socialists are preparing to pull out all the stops to preserve their power.

Resorting to his community organizer roots, President Obama’s administration engineered the Occupy Wall Street movement as the opening salvo of his class warfare campaign designed to pit the American people against one another. The demonstrations we saw last fall were simply a dress rehearsal for what we will see during the upcoming presidential election. Imagine a bunch of radical left wing protesters demonstrating outside your polling location. What will that do to voter turnout?

Sadly, the young Occupy Wall Street protesters are nothing political cannon fodder for the Democratic socialists; a means to an end in a desperate attempt to preserve President Obama’s power.

The poor have always been targeted by the Democratic socialists. Time and again the proletariat, as the socialists like to refer to the poor, has been duped by the socialist’s grandiose promise of a Utopian society, where everything is equal, regardless of what you do or do not do for a living. All you have to do is cast your ballot for a Democrat and everything will be handed to you on a silver platter. Wow, I can have a rood over my head, food in my pantry, and money to spend all for something as trivial as a vote. Count me in!

The problem with this liberal get rich quick scheme is that the only one who ever seems to benefit are the politicians. Deceitful politicians prey upon the poor as if a vote for them is akin to winning the lottery. The problem with the premise that a politician can somehow grant someone wealth and success without ever having to work is in direct opposition to nature’s law, “for whatever a man sows, so shall he reap.”

In 2008, Americans flocked to the polls to cast their ballot for Barack Obama despite dire warnings from conservatives that he was a socialist. In the end, Obama steamrolled John McCain to become America’s first socialist president. The media couldn’t contain themselves, socialist propagandist Chris Matthew said “I felt this thrill running up my leg.” Americans who were tricked by the snake oil salesman took to the streets exclaiming things like; “I never thought this day would happen, I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage.”

After three years and well over $5 trillion in debt (and still growing) President Obama’s unprecedented spending has only exacerbated America’s ailing economy. The president’s policies have crippled the job market, real unemployment is north of 20-percent. The president actually promised that energy prices would skyrocket and they have, the price of gasoline has risen 83-percent since Obama took office. Something tells me that there are a lot of people worrying about how they are going to put gasoline in their car.

With nothing to point to in the way of success, the president is resorting to Marxism 101; blame the bourgeois, which is to say the evil rich people, claiming that they are not paying their fair share. Since they control the propaganda machine know as the mainstream media, most Americans swallow this political bilge without giving it a second thought. After all, why would a politician lie?

Of course the Democratic socialists will not tell you that America already has a massively unbalanced “progressive” tax system, ranging from 0 percent to 36 percent, and that only half the population pays any federal taxes.

No, the Democratic socialists want you to believe that you cannot change your circumstances, that achieving success on your own is little more than a foolish dream. The Democrats don’t want you to know that the American dream is alive and well. In fact, according to the book The Millionaire Next Door, over eighty-percent of the millionaires in America are self made. The majority of these millionaires have one thing in common, they own their own business. To contrast this even further: according to best selling author Robert Kiyosaki, the odds of becoming a millionaire playing the lottery is 12,000,000 to 1, however, the odds of becoming a millionaire by starting your own business is only 1,000 to 1. That’s right, one person out of every thousand is a millionaire, maybe your next door neighbor.

Unfortunately, socialist politicians have used this despicable class warfare ruse with great success over the years. They feed upon the human desire blame someone else for their lot in life. Regrettably the poor continue to fall for this political charade which has never done anything but spread misery in direct proportion to the size of the government they’ve elected.

This is what passes for journalism today

We are now on the verge of having government controlled media.

The Daily Caller has a brilliant article by Matt Lewis exposing at least eight major exaggerations or outright lies in a Reuters article on Senator Marco Rubio.

For years the mainstream media has become little more than a propaganda arm for the Democrat party. They say anything they want without fear of reprisal because the only media alternatives for conservatives are Fox News, talk radio and the internet.

Since taking office, the Obama administration has been using the FCC to take these outlets away from the American people, soon there will be nothing left but state controlled media.

Obama, “Everyone Must Pay Their Fair Share.” – IRS Reveals 36 Obama Aides Owe Back Taxes

Andrew Malcolm has an ironic story over at Investors.com that shines the light of truth on an ever more hypocritical Democrat Party.

President Obama has made “paying their fair share” the cornerstone of his re-election bid (because he can’t point to any real success), yet the president has 36 staffers who are behind on their taxes.

The president believes that Americans are dumb enough to buy into his blatant class warfare. He thinks that Americans don’t know that we already have a massively unbalanced progressive tax system where only 47-percent of our citizens pay any federal taxes at all.

The president even had the gall to target presidential hopeful Mitt Romney in his State of the Union address. If you’re a regular reader, you know I am no fan of Mitt Romney but the president’s ad hominem attack against Romney during the State of the Union was beyond pathetic. Again, he is assuming that Americans are ignorant and don’t understand that Romney’s income, like Warren Buffet’s, comes from investment income which has already been taxed. That tax is called the capital gains tax and differs from the federal income tax which is paid on new income in the form of salary.

The president also forgot to mention that Romney gave 140-percent more of his income to charity than President Obama did but that’s another story (By the way, Vice President Biden gave a whopping $369 to charity).

I’ve got an idea, maybe the Occupy Wall Street protesters should go demonstrate in each of these staffer’s yards until they pay their taxes like a good socialist… I mean Democrat should.

Why Don’t Conservatives Like Romney? Because He’s a Progressive

 

Could Sen. Marco Rubio be America's next great leader? - Courtesy: UPI

Red State has an article about why the Republican base does not like Mitt Romney and why the Media doesn’t report it. The answer is really quite simple; Romney is a “progressive” cut from the same cloth as President Obama.

Logically one should ask, why is the mainstream media is championing a Republican candidate at all? There are only two reasons they would do so; the first is that a Romney nomination will reduce voter turnout, because conservatives will stay home, thus insuring an Obama victory. The second is, in the event that Romney actually wins, Romney will continue to “progress” America down the road to ruin with socialist policies because he is essentially Obama Light.

While I am not particularly enamored with any of the candidates left in the race, Gingrich is now my man now that Cain and Perry have called it quits.

We conservatives are left to dream of another Reagan but unfortunately, there have only been a handful of great presidents in America’€™s history, and other than Sen. Marco Rubio, I don’t see anyone on the political horizon that has that kind of potential.

Think about it, truly great leaders, the kind that live forever in the annals of history don’t come along very often. Men that transcend all others, whether good or evil, typically only come along once in a lifetime. America has had more than her fair share of great leaders given the relative young age of our country compared to the rest of the world. Since Reagan was president when I was a teenager, in fact he was my commander-in-chief when I joined the Army, I can only pray that America has another great leader during my lifetime.

All of Life is Politics

The Merovingian from the Matrix trilogy

My apologies for being away so long, I have a tendency to go through periods where I simply don’t feel like writing. Coincidentally, or maybe not, my break coincided with our internet going down for about a week during the Christmas holidays. With family visiting it made it even easier to get out of the habit of writing.

Usually these down times are accompanied by periods where I read voraciously and this time was no different. Aside from studying the Book of Matthew, I read five books and bits and pieces of others. Emerson postulated that a true scholar reads for inspiration to stimulate his own thinking and then expounds upon them with his own writing. Prior to my extended break I had been in a period where I was writing quite a bit although much of it was for my own edification, perhaps I’ll share some of it at a later date once I’ve codified my thoughts.

Interestingly enough, it was an article in the Washington Times which referenced one of my posts that spurred me back to my keyboard.

I’ve been thinking a great deal about philosophy especially as it relates to politics. The two are so intertwined it’s hard to actually separate them. I like to think of philosophy in its simplest terms which is essentially how a person thinks and perceives the world around them.

Personally, politics has become much more than those that govern using their power to influence us to their way of thinking, which is their philosophy. Politics pervades all aspects of our lives; there’s marital politics, office politics, club politics, and so on.

One of my favorite movies is the Matrix trilogy. These movies brilliant weave politics, philosophy and religion together. One of the characters is the Merovingian who has many brilliant quotes but one of my favorite is “choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without.”

Think about the last few years of federal politics. We have politicians voting for legislation without reading or having any earthly idea of what it includes simply because they agree with a certain philosophical bent. Even though polling showed that an overwhelming majority of Americans didn’t want Obamacare to be passed, those with power tried to make us think they were listening but in the end, it was an illusion and they simply crammed it down our collective throats.

All of life has become political. Our government and media have colluded to dumb down the population so that the common person cannot answer the most basic questions about current events. If you ever listen to Sean Hannity’s Man on the Street interviews, where he interviews random people on the street, you will be blown away at the ignorance of the general population. Sadly they can probably tell you all about the latestHollywood gossip or the scores to last night’s game but they can’t tell you a thing about what’s going on in the country.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge sports fan too, I ranked in the top five-percent picking NFL games against the spread on ESPN’s Pigskin Pick ‘em the last two years. There’s nothing wrong with having other interests outside of politics but it saddens me that so few people are involved in the process. Hundreds of thousands of men have died to provide us with freedom and it is an insult to their memory not to exercise your most basic duty as an American… Be informed and vote.

The truth about the Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act

Rep. John Culberson (TX-07) is one of the few in Congress that is fighting to do what's right.

The talking heads on television and some of the more dubious members of Congress, chief among them are Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, are out spreading all sorts of misinformation about the Middle Class and Job Creation Act. Fortunately there are still a few principled members who are actually trying to do what’s best for the American people. Rep. John Culberson (TX-07) has distinguished himself as a true patriot, whether it was posting twitter updates live from the House floor during the Obamacare debate or penning this brilliant article on the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act:

This is not complicated.  The House bill keeps everyone’s payroll taxes stable for one year.  The Senate bill allows everyone’s taxes to go up in two months.

“The House bill requires people who get an unemployment check to prove they are looking for work or completing a GED or college degree.  The Senate took this out.

“The House bill allows states to require you to submit to a drug test to receive unemployment benefits.  The Senate took this out.

“The House bill permits business owners to immediately expense 100 percent of new investments, dollar-for-dollar, in the current year tax return.  The Senate took this out.

“The House bill protects American industrial boiler manufacturers from being shut down by unachievable Obama EPA restrictions.  The Senate took this out.

“The House bill stops welfare recipients from using their Lone Star-type cards at ATM machines in casinos, strip clubs and liquor stores.  The Senate took this out.

“The House bill cuts off unemployment and food stamps payments to millionaires.  The Senate took this out.

“The House bill requires people to produce a Social Security number before receiving a refundable child tax credit.  The Senate took this out.

“The House bill protects doctors from a 27 percent cut in Medicare reimbursement payments for two years.  The Senate only protects them for two months.

“These are dramatic and important differences that are unacceptable under any common sense standard.  I agree with Speaker Boehner that we should always do the right thing for the right reason.  The House bill is the right thing for the right reason.

“We must follow the rules everyone learned in Civics 101.  When there is a difference in the bills in the House and the Senate, we go to Conference to work them out as soon as possible.  I am ready to do just that and I am prepared to stay for as long as it takes to make sure that no one’s taxes go up; and we preserve as many of the House-passed common sense provisions as possible.”

Jeremy Shockey Slams Houston Texans Players For Poor National Anthem Etiquette

I’m glad Jermey Shockey called out Texans players for not showing at least basic courtesy during the National Anthem prior to yesterdays game. I realize this is America and they are free to do as they like but Shockey is free to call them out about it.

Shockey is a true patriot in my book and I am proud to call him a fellow American and Floridian even if he is a Cane.

(Yes, I know he’s orginally from OK but he claims FL as his residence now.)

 

HOUSTON (The Blaze/AP) — Carolina Panthers tight end Jeremy Shockey criticized members of the Houston Texans for not putting their hands over their hearts during the national anthem, calling their inaction “kind of offensive.”

Shockey says he saw “about 10 players” who didn’t do the traditional gesture when the anthem is played, and he told some of them how he felt during Carolina’s 28-13 victory.

“I was pretty upset in the way they weren’t showing respect to America during the national anthem,” Shockey said. “This is America and you should at least give respect to America.”

Shockey‘s rant came in response to a reporter’s question about the Texans’ defense.

“This is America and this is just a game and they should not only be very proud of this country, but very gifted to be living here,” Shockey said. “Maybe they just forgot to do it or something, but I don’t see how you could forget to do that.”

At least one of the Texans shot back following Shockey’s comments.

“If he’s so patriotic, why was he looking at our bench instead of the flag?” said linebacker DeMeco Ryans. “Where did he come up with the number 10? Was he counting? Why was he paying attention to us during the national anthem?”

Shockey sports a red, white and blue tattoo on his right biceps portraying a bald eagle draped in an American flag. He caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton in Sunday’s game, then pointed at linebacker DeMeco Ryans and appeared to yell at him and cornerback Jason Allen.

The day that Freedom died! U.S. House members banned from using “Merry Christmas” in correspondence

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are being censored by the congressional franking commission which monitors all official correspondence. The commission will not allow any outgoing letters which contain the phrase “Merry Christmas” to be mailed, in doing so, members of Congress are having their First Amendment rights trampled into the ground.

This is yet another usurpation of freedom and liberty in the ongoing war between the left and Christians. A member of Congress wishing someone a Merry Christmas in no way establishes a national religion which is what the Constitution expressly prohibits.

Christians and patriots must start taking a stand against these blatant infringements upon our Constitutionally protected rights or we will cease to exist as a free nation.

 

The congressional franking commission that reviews all congressional mail is taking a stand against Members of the House of Representatives writing holiday greetings. Fox News reports that Hill staffers tell the Washington Examiner that mail with greetings such as “Merry Christmas” or “Happy New Year,” has been barred by the franking commission:

“According to the Washington Examiner, members who submit official mailings for review by the congressional franking commission that reviews all congressional mail to determine if it can be ‘franked,’ or paid for with tax dollars, are being told that no holiday greetings, including ‘Merry Christmas,’ can be sent.

‘I called the commission to ask for clarification and was told no ’Merry Christmas.‘ Also told cannot say ’Happy New Year‘ but can say ’have a happy new year’ – referencing the time period of a new year, but not the holiday,’ a Hill staffer who requested anonymity told the paper.”

A December 12 memo from the “Franking Commission Staff” concerning “Holiday Messaging,” sent to Members reads:

“Members are unable at the current time to use official resources to record holiday greetings, post on social media/website, or send to constituents in franked mail or e-communications.

Expenses related to the purchase or distribution of greetings, including holiday celebrations, condolences, and congratulations for personal distinctions (wedding anniversaries, birthdays, etc.), are not reimbursable.”

Franking Manual:

4(a). Example of Nonfrankable Items

-Birthday, anniversary, wedding, birth, retirement or condolence messages and holiday greetings are prohibited.”

You may make reference to the season as a whole using language along the lines of ‘Have a safe and happy holiday season.’ It may only be incidental to the piece rather than the primary purpose of the communication.”

Lowe‘s pulling ads from All American Muslim is not bigotry, it’s good business

Brain Dead Liberals

Brain dead liberals protesting Lowe's decision to save money by not advertising on one of the lowest rated shows on television.

Home improvement giant Lowe’s has been taking some heat from liberal media outlets, opportunist politicians and civil rights organizations for pulling its ads from the reality show All American Muslim. The Blaze is reporting that about one hundred people protested outside a Detroit area Lowe’s yesterday, which is where the reality show is located.

First and foremost, this is America and a company is free to choose when and where to spend its advertising dollars. That being said, the company’s decision to pull its ads from the poorly rated cable television show, is simply a good business decision; not the blatant bigotry that the protesters are asserting.

That’s right, according to the Hollywood Reporter, TLC’s reality show the All American Muslim is one of the lowest rated shows on television. The show ranks a dismal 78th on the day in which it airs, with a paltry .3 share and less than a million viewers.

Anyone who looks at this objectively will see that Lowe’s made a good business decision and is not engaged in any type of bigotry.

Perhaps these people, who are feigning outrage, should protest against groups like Media Matters who are leading the cabal against Fox News to convince companies not to advertise on top rated cable giant. Then again, that would actually make sense, so I know a liberal would never do that.
