Double Dip Recession

the economic data just keeps getting worse and worse.  so many people are unemployed now that the government doesnt even count them.  the fed keeps on soaking us with so much paper money that our dollar has almost no value now and pretty soon we are going to be in for more inflation then we bargained for.

the worst part about it is that the people who are to blame are getting off scot free and are hard at work trying to make it worse.  treasury secretary tim geithner is going around trying to convince people that the worst thing we could do is stop the government spending spree that got us into this mess.  this is completely unacceptable.

Govt Overreach

every year the size of the federal government just keeps growing and growing.  Most people have just resigned themselves to this.  In fact most people alive today have never known a time when this wasn't the case.  

I think this is pretty sad.  I think people should expect more from themselves then just going along with this.  Honestly I think most people would be suprised at just how much they could accomplish if they had more control and responsibility over their own lives.

"Liberalism"

Liberalism in it's modern context bears no resemblance to what the founders originally intended when they said liberal. 

Liberalism has been hijacked by people who don't believe in individual freedom, restraint of government to constitutionally mandated parameters, personal responsibility, and self sufficiency. 

Modern liberals believe that citizens should be subjects of the state.  They believe that the state should have discetionary to pick winners and losers.  They believe that the state should provide the most important things for them in life. 

They do not believe in equality before the law.  Instead, the believe that they need to divide and conquer, by declaring certain groups of citizens as favored and protected, and other groups as unfavored, and fair game. 

This is a horrible perversion from what the Costitution means, and good people everywhere should stand up against it.

PALIN IS IN!!!

I was starting to think that Sarah would sit it out, but she decided to toss her hat in the ring!  I think all the other big names that have been dropping out clinched it for her.  Once she saw how open the field was, she couldn't resist. 

I hope she does well.  I think now that there is so much open space in the field, she will be the first of a sort of second wave of candidates that decide to take a chance.  I could see Huntsman joining, as well as Guiliani, and maybe Christie. 

Definitely shaping up for a lot of fun this winter and next summer!!!

The Big Zero!!

Obama's budget was voted on today in the Senate, and it failed by a whopping 0 to 97 vote!!!  It is so unpopular, and downright insane that even the most socialistic members of the Democrat party couldn't be caught supporting it in public!!

At least Toomey and Ryans' bills got 42 and 40 votes respectively.  These are actual serious proposals that could start the long process of getting our government back under control.  They are strategies to stop this insane government spending that has been ruining our economy, and to put it in check permanently. 

Daniels Out!!

This week we have had Mitch Daniels, Mike Huckabee, and The Donald bow out.  Couple that with Palin not getting in, and Newt's less then spectacular performance, and it looks like everything is lining up for Pawlenty to get the nod!!

I have actually met Tim a few times and I think he is a good man, and an honest leader.  He is definitely less then overwhelming, but thoughtful, and fair.  He would definitely be a good candidate to offer as a competent, quiet alternative, so that all the lights focus on Obama, and his incompetence. 

I think the primaries are lining up to be Tim's to lose.  It should be fun, and there will be a lot of less then serious candidates that make big waves, but Tim seems to hold the reins.

Antons Widget Fallacy

Badges?! We don't need no stinking badges!!

I love the fact that Obama doesn't feel like he needs to follow the laws as a President conducting a war!!!???!! 

If it's that limited and unimportant, then why the heck did you get us into it in the first place???

Debt Ceiling

I am constantly disgusted by the situation our country has gotten itself into. 

It should be common sense for any grown adult that if you spend more money then you take in, eventually you are going to find yourself in a pile of trouble.

I invite everyone to look for themselves at the mess that we have gotten ourselves into.  Check out :

When you watch that alongside news interviews of Democrats explaining, arguing, and even down right begging to keep spending every last dime they can get their hands on, they look absolutely desperate. 

These people need to be stopped before they ruin this country!!

Romneycare

Mitt seems to being doing well right now.  He definitely has the organization and financial backing to propel him into the primaries. 

Unfortunately, this election is going to be a referendum on what Obama has done so far.  And Obama's greatest weakness is Obamacare.

No matter what Mitt says or does to try to explain away Romneycare, it is the black stain on his record that he will never be able to recover from. 

GOP crop of hopefuls

Still keeping an eye on Palin, Christie, and Daniels to see if they jump in.  I still don't know much about Huntsman. 

Pawlenty, and Gingrich seem like the most serious candidates.  Although Newt sure has shot himself in the foot since declaring!!!  I would like to see more of Cain, but unfortunately, I don't think anyone is going to want to vote on a nation wide level for someone who has never won a single election.  Bachman needs to throw her hat in, and stay in as long as she can.  Her influence will be extremely important. 

Obama's Israel speech

I am always suprised at how often certain Americans are willing to toss our friends in the fire.  The Israelis have it tough enough as it is without the American President tossing bones to their enemies. 

Pleezed to meet ya!!

Let me introduce myself:

My interests include precious metals, guns, hockey, football, and everything Army.

I believe in the Christian God, and don't believe that to conserve nature we have to worship Al Gore. 

I enjoy debate, but demand that everyone keeps a civil tongue!
