Hey where are our nukes going?

2010-04-05T22:06:00.011-06:00

Ummm....Why is Russia selling nukes to Venezuela and Iran while we destroy ours? "We're ready to start drawing up the first plan of a nuclear power plant, obviously with peaceful aims," Chavez said. (Aprl 2, 2010) So now that we have disabled ours in Turkey and there isn't much doubt now that Iran has bomb grade nukes we pretty much gave up our power in that area of the world. And uh... if Venezuela has nukes soon I guess they will be as capable as us in South America. In South America you don't need a lot of nukes and they don't have to fly very far to be uber powerful.
Most important why are we cool with Venezuela building a nuclear power plant when we were told they were too rough on the environment to build nuclear power plants ourselves. Why did we just take a big step back from being a world power? Why isn't anyone talking about it?

Do I have this right? We are signing a treaty with Russia so that we both reduce our nuclear arsenel. The only stipulation is that Russia gets to sell theirs to a country awfully close to to the USA.

Just a little worried here in the heartland

2010-04-01T11:38:00.003-06:00

I am not sure why Obama is still out trying to sell his health care plan. It is already law. Is anyone else worried about what is coming if he is still selling it? Could it be that it is a terribly expensive plan to give Government more power? It's beginning to get exposed for what it is and Obama is trying to get in front of the soon coming complete rejection of the American people? Why all the rumblings about the USA becoming a socialist country? Actually I am not worried at all about what is coming, I know what is coming and I hate it.

From the Heritage Foundation:
The President’s health care law is only eight days old, and already it has cost our economy billions of dollars. Late last week, AT&T alone took a $1 billion charge because of the impact of the bill, and the consulting firm Towers Watson told the Wall Street Journal that the total hit this year will reach nearly $14 billion. It is sad, given the present state of our economy, that the President’s party in Congress has reacted not by trying to find ways to spare the jobs that will be lost because of this law. Instead, they are trying to intimidate companies that take such charges with threats that they will be hauled in before the Energy and Commerce Committee.

Oh no Obama didn't go there! (Click here for headlines)

2010-03-20T08:56:00.001-06:00

Headlines: Obama Urges Congress to Act Quickly on Financial Reform

This is coming from the guy that is ramming health care down our throats. The spending on it is so out of control they didn't even send the complete package to the Congressional Budget Office to be analyzed. This is coming from the guy that tripled the debt that dead beat Bush left us.
Obama says we need to free up financial markets. Really? His banking policies have made banks pucker up with commercial loans. Has anyone noticed the construction industry is dying a slow painful death? Government take overs of the auto industry, banking industry and insurance industry are not helping. A political war with Toyota isn't helping. There is no way this is a genuine charge to congress.

There is not much use in posting for a while.

2010-03-19T20:44:00.001-06:00

Our country is going to become even more socialist. Just wait until you see what health care brings. I no longer think that America will do the right thing. Health Care looks like it will pass on Sunday. This little measly blog is a waste of time for now.

Congress is an Embarrassment

2010-03-13T08:52:00.002-06:00

Next week congress will use a reconciliation rule (cheaters) to move forward with the next step of turning this nation socialist. This new health care plan is so crooked that even bribes couldn't get the job done for Obama and crew, so they changed the rules on how many votes they needed to pass it. Their justification is that the reconciliation rule has been used before including the Bush tax cuts. I thought they hated Bush, that he was nothing more than a stupid cowboy. I thought this was the administration of change and transparency.
We are so screwed.

See ya Pelosi

2010-02-28T11:58:00.006-06:00

Nancy Pelosi says that although unpopular, lawmakers should focus on ramming through health care instead of job creation. They still haven't figured out that jobs provide health care. San Francisco, please get rid of this bat! However, that would mean the private sector is more of a solution than the government. And they don't want that. I know there are people who are disabled and need assistance. Let's deal with those who are truly less forunate not the lazy people, not the illegals and not the whole nation! America lost something like 450,000 jobs recently surely with a good portion of those jobs went health care. Let's get the corruption out of health care, provide meaningful jobs and let's do it now!

This says it all

2010-02-02T15:14:00.003-06:00

I really thought Obama would have learned that the USA does NOT want to go where he wants to take this country. Actually it isn't that he hasn't learned, it is that he doesn't care what we want. If the heated healthcare debate causing democrat congressmen to retire and the Massachusetts election doesn't teach him anything, he really doesn't care. I really thought he was going to move more towards the center of the political spectrum this year being an election year. Instead he has doubled down by proposing a budget that will have an adverse effect on this country for generations. He will leave democrat congress road kill behind him as he continues to try and ram his agenda down our throats. Nothing will distract Obama from his push to move this country towards socialism. His legacy, his comrades, his party.... all carnage.

I have had this emailed to me a few times, so I am posting it on the ol blog

Good gravy. Thank goodness this idiot didn't get voted in.

Changing the subject... I work in the construction industry, a lot of the government projects in the liberal portion of our state are funded and moving. In my part of the state, conservative, they are stalled. Another reason why I can't stand this administration.

How about a li'l irony

2010-01-23T02:25:00.004-06:00

Good gravy, my PSU and motherboard fried but I think I am back in action, once again I will try and get the blog up to date. My boss is always talking about things that are ironic, probably because he is so sharp he notices.

I'll give it a try:

Isn't it ironic that in Obama's final week of his first year as President the Republicans win a solidly held Democrat senate seat in Massachusetts? There is no bigger Democrat base than Massachusetts.

Isn't it ironic that Obama was spewing out in a speech in Ohio(D) that he would have healthcare and jobs for everybody, he said he isn't going to quit fighting until he achieves that. Doesn't he see that his health care plan is keeping people from jobs? I am in a hiring position. How can I recommend another person when we have no idea what they will cost us in the near future if his plan goes through?

Is it not ironic that when Exxon made 45 billion dollars, the biggest profit in one year by one company in the history of the United States, they were absolutely raked over the coals by our Government? However, this past year the Fed topped it with a 48 billion dollar profit and they won't open their books to anyone including the US Congress.

Makes ya say Hmmmm.....

2010-01-13T08:31:00.000-06:00

Why does California want to legalize marijuana to help with their economy but not offshore drilling? No bias against Cali. here I was raised there, I am just saying...

Why is the Massachusetts senate election even going to be close? Obama won that state by 26%.

Why all of a sudden does Obama want a record amount of money for the wars? Is this a political move to have the conservatives vote down war spending? Why are we playing politics with wars?

Why do we need another stimulus when we haven’t spent all the money from the first one? Where is this money really going?

A letter to my Senator

2010-01-06T07:47:00.003-06:00

This is a real email that I sent to my Senator this morning. Please send one to yours, there is a link on the right side of my blog that makes it easy to contact your Senator. Feel free to copy and paste any portion of my letter that you like.

Dear Senator XXXX,
Thank you for your response to my last email regarding health care. A quote from your form letter reads, "I have said that reform must make coverage more affordable, reliable and accessible without breaking the bank, and I supported H.R. 3590 because I believe the Senate legislation achieves these goals." There are ways to achieve these same objectives without Government intervention. It also achieves my participation in the payment of abortions and takes billions from my parents healthcare, please don't insult my intelligence with such political spin. It will not reduce costs over time. As a matter of fact there are costs associated with it for years before we see one benefit. As of Jan. 3, 2010 52% Americans oppose this bill and 42% Americans support it. So please Mr. XXXX please quit with the spin and do what is right. If this was a good bill, you and I both know there wouldn't be bribes involved and we would see the transparent debate promised to us that isn't being provided. What is it that you people don't want us to see?

TSA is hilarious

2010-01-05T00:18:00.002-06:00

So the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) screwed up and let someone get through their check point in the Newark airport of all places. Then as a result the terminal was evacuated. Then thousands of people were re-screened, causing a basic shut down for hours. I have not been able to tell what that did to peoples flights, how many folks had to spend the night in the airport, etc. Apparently all flights were grounded and even the passengers who had boarded planes had to get off and be screened again.

The TSA blamed Continental Airlines for not providing access to monitors in a timely manner which they say caused the delays. Bahahahaha.... are they trying to say if the TSA (Government)had more power with the screening this wouldn't have been such a mess? The TSA messed up in what they were supposed to be doing and then said it is becuase they don't have enough control. bahahaha. Can we privatize the security check points?

I am back from vacation... I hope to get the ol' blog current again.

Please write you representatives, click here for a directory of Senators

2009-12-23T07:43:00.005-06:00

Situation: Your Democrat Senator/Congressperson voted for the healthcare bill. That means they voted for you to help pay for Medicare/Medicaid to the people of Nebraska and Louisiana. Those states received special "deals" to persuade their vote. I would call it a bribe, but hey that's just me. The most troubling piece of that is they were bribed with our tax money and the people of several of these states don't even want the handout, they want to be responsible for themselves. Your taxes will pay the Medicare for your state and the states that required a bribe just to get the bill passed. In the case of Nebraska, we will pay forever. For Louisiana we only have to pay them 300 million, argggg. Each of the above states negotiated their own deal.
The Senate will actually vote on this bill tomorrow night, please write your representative and tell them to represent your state, and not just go along with a certain policial party. Barely 40% of us want this bill to be passed. Scroll down to my post about 5 items of craziness in the bill and you will find reasons to oppose this bill as well.

Merry Christmas! Thank you for your support.

We are going to give 30 Billion to poor nations, click here for the story

2009-12-19T11:38:00.002-06:00

In the waning moments of a disastrous conference on climate change in Copenhagen, President Obama came up with a compromise that volunteers us to send 30 Billion (with a capital B) to poor countries for emergency climate aid. Can someone please explain why 30 Billion dollars sent to poor tropical countries is going to change the weather? Seriously, for the sake of argument, let's say industry can change the weather. It isn't the 3rd world countries creating the problem. Is it that we just feel guilty that we are so industrialized that I feel I need to sacrifice to some 3rd world country. No, I am rather proud of our achievements and I am proud of my country, I have no apologies to make.

I have news for these crazies. AMERICA IS POOR TOO! We are borrowing at a such a rate, some folks say that we can never repay it. In effect we are going to borrow money from probably China, who thinks this whole climate thing is a bunch of hog wash and give it to other countries. Is there a better reason for the Chinese to cut us off? I am just hoping that this takes some sort of congressional approval. And I hope it gets delayed until after the elections. By the way, these payments ramp up to 100 billion per year in 10 years. I guess I was hoping that there might be some of the social security money that I have been paying towards when I come of age. No, our administration finds poor tropical countries more important than our own.

We want Condi, We want Condi, We want Condi

2009-12-18T09:26:00.004-06:00

Whether or not you liked Pres. Bush you, had to love Condoleezza Rice. Pres. Bush would send her into tough situations to do the bidding for America i.e. Russia when they were worked up over our missile defense in Poland, Israel VS. Hezbollah etc.

Yesterday in Copenhagen, Hillary Clinton was trotted out in front of the world to tell everyone that the USA will be prepared to begin giving 100 billion dollars per year to poor countries in 10 years. I could do that job! Pelosi, after a severe attack of Queen Bee Syndrome loaded up 3 jets and headed to Copenhagen. Let's see what she does so that she isn't out done. What a circus!

Can anyone remind me of a succes story that Hillary was able to manage? Obama is keeping our Secretary of State suppressed so that she doesn't gain any political points. Remember during the Democratic primaries there was talk that she might run against him if he wasn't all that. Um....

Yeah, a world without nukes, when will our administration get it? Click here for the story

Iran Test-Fires Its Longest-Range Missile
Wednesday, December 16, 2009

AP/ISNA

In Blog by Bryan version 1.0 I predicted this to happen this last summer. I guess I was off by a few months. Honestly who didn't see this coming? Can we at least put in meaningful sanctions against Iran? They tell us they have meaningful sanctions in place, obviously not.

Goodbye Christmas thanks to Obama

2009-12-12T01:06:00.002-06:00

According to Fox News and I must say they never substantiated the story, Obama doesn't approve of Christmas because it is a religious holiday. Apparently, he hasn’t given gifts to his kids in the past because he refused to celebrate Christmas. He wanted to take down the nativity scene at the white house until he gave into tradition, go figure Obama caved. Someone please prove me wrong. I have gone from thinking he is the most ineffective President in my lifetime to thinking he is an idiot. I have tried to stay away from hate, anyone who denies the meaning of of Christmas is a person I have absolutely no respect for. Too bad it is the President of the United States.

5 items of craziness in the current health care bill

2009-11-24T08:44:00.000-06:00

1. EVERYONE will pay additional taxes to help fund abortions. My problem with that is that means I am participating in abortions. Whether or not you support the legality of abortions, how do you feel paying for someone else’s?

2. The Senator from Louisiana, Sen. Landrieu. Was given $300,000,000.00 to fund Medicare in her state to sway her vote. She was prepared to vote against even bringing this discussion to the floor. Instead, she was bribed and she caved and now you and I will pay Louisiana 300 million dollars.

3. It starts taxing as soon as it is passed but doesn't go into effect until 2013. That means in the first 10 years we will pay for 10 but only get anything out of if for 6. This is one way they used to tweak the numbers and it is widely known. It is so crazy you would think I am lying.

4. It goes into effect in 2013, our next presidential election is in 2012. If this was a wonderful plan, it would be in effect before the next presidential election. This whole idea is absurd why else would the plan go into effect after we can't vote Obama out?

5.Kiss your health care as you know it goodbye. They have already tipped their hat to let us know what to expect by telling us that women should wait until they are 50 instead of 40 for breast exams. And that women would see their Gynecologist every other year instead of every year. How again is this going to make anyone any healthier? The health care rationing is already beginning and the bill hasn't even passed yet.

Obama to announce Afgan decision on Dec. 1st? Really?

2009-11-24T08:06:00.000-06:00

I am going to give our President the benefit of the doubt and hope he has made his decision and the new strategy is going into effect today. He had a "rigorous" meeting regarding the subject yesterday. If December 1st is the magical day that he will announce his decision, that has to mean he has made a decision. Our Generals on the ground made recommendations in August and he is going to tell us what his decision is on December 1st meaning he has dithered for 3-4 months.

Prediction: He knows today what his decision is, however he needs to give time to his speech writers and aids to come up with something glossy. His approval rating is sinking fast so this has to be a major victory for him. He has been so committed to healthcare and globetrotting that I do believe it has taken him this long because the war is not as high on his priority list as health care. Crazy but it is the only reason he would wait to give our troops what they need to win.

Our Government is Dangerous, click this title for story

2009-11-17T12:51:00.002-06:00

Our Government is recommending that breast screening should start at 50 years old now. Interestingly the American Cancer Society recommends 40. My sister in law who is under 50 and just starting chemotherapy for breast cancer would disagree with the government's opinion. If the key to stopping cancer is early detection, why should anyone decide to wait another 10 years for something as simple as a screening?

Here is the scary part. There has been a lot of debate about how intrusive government will be once their health care bill passes. This is a perfect example of them wanting to control your life. The ONLY reason that the government would recommend to wait for a breast cancer screening is to save money. Obviously, it isn't healthier for women. This is a trial balloon floated out there to see what we will tolerate. Seniors beware... I am sure you are next. Oh yeah... they already want to cut 500 billion from Medicaid or Medicare. Too bad sorry.

Disgusting information

2009-11-08T12:25:00.001-06:00

A buddy of mine emailed this to me this A.M. and said it is blog worthy, I would have to agree.

Written by Dr. Paul L. Williams

"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much," she said. "See, that's why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, "... Michelle Obama

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.
Just think, Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhowe had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary from her husband's salary.

Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:
Mamie Eisenhower : 1 paid for personally out of President's salary
Jackie Kennedy: 1
Roseline Carter: 1
Barbara Bush: 1
Hilary Clinton: 3
Laura Bush: 1
Michele Obama: 22

How things have changed! If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Ms Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by YOU, John Q. Public:
Michele Obama's personal staff:
1.. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to thePresident and Director of Policy And Projects For The FirstLady)
3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to thePresident and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)
4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
5. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa E.. (Special Assistant to thePresident and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
6. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
7. $84,000 - Lel yveld, Catherine M. (Director and PressSecretary to the First Lady)
8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)
10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
11. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director andDeputy Social Secretary)
12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)
14. $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director andDeputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant forScheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
17. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director ofCorrespondence For The First Lady)
18. $43,000 - Tubman, Samanth a (Deputy Associate Director,Social Office)
19. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
20. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to theSocial Secretary)
21. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
22. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)
(total = $1,591,200 in annual salaries)

There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense.

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe .

Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press had to publish this perhaps because America no longer has a free press and theUSA media is too scared that they might be considered racist or suffer at the hands of Obama.
Sorry America !

Just one more thought about universal healthcare for now

2009-11-08T10:26:00.000-06:00

If our current universal healthcare plan was really great universally, there wouldn't be so much debate.

Our reps will not even listen to us at all, they have to go!!!!!!

2009-11-05T18:42:00.008-06:00

Excuse me.... 20,000 people stormed Washington D.C. today in protest of the universal government run insurance bill. I am sure the media will say that is not many people, in reality it is more people than the population of a lot of American towns. Virginia and New Jersey were just swept clean by Republicans. Some would say (Hannity) in total disagreement of Obama's policies, I will go a little easier and say say partially because we don't want the government to run our lives.

I am great with reforming health care. In fact I think there needs to be reform. What so many people don't understand is that the Republicans have great reform ideas that are even documented and read to discuss. The Republicans want to reform healthcare without the government running it which makes so much sense. It is too bad the other side isn't interested in a non partisan solution. Ummm... I am pretty sure this is another broken campaign promise. Furthermore... I am still waiting for the TV coverage of the healthcare debate.

Nonetheless.. on Saturday Nancy Pelosi(D) will have the House of Representatives vote on this to shove it down our throats without consideration of what the other half of the country thinks.

Fox New: Republican Scozzafava Suspends New York Congressional Campaign

I can't believe this, the republicans have told the Republican candidate from the 23rd district of NY to hit the road, instead we are supporting an Independent candidate who is much more conservative. Hopefully this means no more McCain type candidates. No more "let’s just everyone get along" type candidates and no more cowering. Oh I hope people are getting the message that if you are going to run for office as a Republican in name only, it will no longer fly. Why is it that conservatives have always had to do all the compromising in the past? Oh how I hope this is a bold statement. There you go Republican Party, there is our message. Get charged up New Jersey, it is time to put an end to Corzine before you are the next Michigan where people are leaving in droves due to no work and heavy taxes thanks to their liberal governor, Jennifer Granholm. Go Jersey go. Make a bold statement next Tuesday as well! Yahoo. This makes my weekend. I am very proud of NY. Nice work.

Worth the read, Another Failed Presidency

2009-10-30T22:35:00.000-06:00

I tried to describe in my first post why I don't support Obama. A buddy of mine from Texas emailed this to me. I have a hard time reading a long article but I am glad I did this one. Have a little patience on this, the American Thinker is soooo right. Thanks M -

by Geoffrey P. Hunt - An article from American Thinker (August 31, 2009)

Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson. In the modern era, we've seen several failed presidencies--led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait-- they are repudiated, in the vernacular, spat out. Of course, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncoming traffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, yet his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his triumphant overture to China .

But, Barack Obama is failing. Failing big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people. The incomparable Dorothy Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal put her finger on it: He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and may indeed loathe them. Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard says he is failing because he has lost control of his message, and is overexposed. Clarice Feldman of American Thinker produced a dispositive commentary showing that Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate; his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame.

But, there is something more seriously wrong: How could a ne w president riding in on a wave of unprecedented promise and goodwill have forfeited his tenure and become a lame duck in six months? His poll ratings are in free fall. In generic balloting, the Republicans have now seized a five point advantage. This truly is unbelievable. What's going on?

No narrative. Obama doesn't have a narrative. No, not a narrative about himself. He has a self-narrative, much of it fabricated, cleverly disguised or written by someone else. But this self-narrative is isolated and doesn't connect with us. He doesn't have an American narrative that draws upon the rest of us. All successful presidents have a narrative about the American character that intersects with their own where they display a command of history and reveal an authenticity at the core of their personality that resonates in a positive endearing way with the majority of Americans. We admire those presidents whose narratives not only touch our own, but who seem stronger, wiser, and smarter than we are. Presidents we admire are aspirational peers, even those whose politics don't align exactly with our own: Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Harry Truman, Ike, Reagan.

But not this president. It's not so much that he's a phony, knows nothing about economics, is historically illiterate, and woefully small minded for the size of the task--all contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us. And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper. Moreover, he doesn't command our respect and is unable to appeal to our own common sense. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant and how things work just don't add up. They are not existential. His descriptions of the world we live in don't make sense and don't correspond with our experience.

In the meantime, while we've been struggling to take a measurement of this man, he 's dissed just about every one of us--financiers, energy producers, banks, insurance executives, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, post office workers, and anybody else who has a non-green job. Expect Obama to lament at his last press conference in 2012: "For those of you I offended, I apologize. For those of you who were not offended, you just didn't give me enough time; if only I'd had a second term, I could have offended you too."

Mercifully, the Founders at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 devised a useful remedy for such a desperate state--staggered terms for both houses of the legislature and the executive. An equally abominable Congress can get voted out next year. With a new Congress, there's always hope of legislative gridlock until we vote for president again two short years after that.

Yes, small presidents do fail, Barack Obama among them. The coyotes howl but the wagon train keeps rolling along.

Is Rush Limbaugh right?

2009-10-30T22:21:00.002-06:00

Limbaugh contends that the healthcare plans of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are more about their political future than compassion for America. Hmm...is he right? The American people have spoken in town hall meetings and with the Tea Party projects. All of the polling shows we do not want this. We don't like the idea of a massive and probably government run healthcare system. We know that it is only time before they are telling us we are too fat, we eat wrong, we need to exercise more etc. Anybody that smokes or drinks should pay even more because they create a higher risk. The control government will have over us under the name of "health care" is crazy. As a result this puts Democratic leaders in power for as long as they want to stay there.

So I ask the question... is this more about their power and careers? If so is it theft? We don't want to give up money to support this health care plan yet they are going to take if from us anyway. This is a really expensive plan. If they were so concerned about health care would Medicare be going broke? It seems outlandish that Limbaugh would call them thieves but I wonder. We don't want it, they know it, it isn't beneficial to most Americans, it is beneficial to those in Washington DC. Is it theft?

The mega powerful MOVEON.ORG making threats. LOL

2009-10-27T17:13:00.009-06:00

Moveon.org issued a warning Tuesday to any Democrat who might join Republicans to filibuster a government-run insurance option -- if you oppose the government option you will lose support from the organization's 5 million members

That's it!!! Blog by Bryan is hereby firing back. I can say, I think, I am pretty sure that some of the 43 people that hit this blog so far today won't vote for any Repbublican that votes FOR the public option, there take that.

Oh... I get it I just checked the President's approval ratings, it looks like things are headed south. This would not only be a terrible blow to the President but the whole Democratic party who now owns the public option piece of the bill 100%. Olympia Snow(e) bailed on it yesterday, she was the sole Republican supporter of the current legislation. Hmmm... no wonder moveon.org is making huge threats. There sure seems to be a lot of threats and bullying around Washington D.C. these days. The Whitehouse and the libbys are sure getting mean. It is stressful to be in panick mode I guess.

Oct. 21: President Obama arrives to deliver remarks at a campaign rally for Gov. Jon Corzine in Hackensack, N.J. (AP)

This is a great thing for our President to be doing. New Jersey Governor Corzine is getting smoked by Republican candidate Chris Christie by 10%. In the midst of a battle where the American ground forces are screaming for help by sending more troops our President can't stop with the politics to make a war time decision. He continues to risk lives to ratchet up the politics. Ubsurd.

Too crazy

2009-10-21T17:52:00.001-06:00

You know I used to think that Glenn Beck and his type had lost it. That I was turning into some kind of freak. As I listen to the radio at work all day, everyday. It is interesting to see how things come together and are conected. I found these two clips on the right of the blog a few days apart by pure chance. You know, the bible really does talk about a One World Government. Wow, I am hoping that Lord Monckton is just wrong. There are a lot of indicators that say he isn't and we knew this day would be coming at some point.

Sean Hannity

2009-10-15T19:00:00.001-06:00

With my current job I wind up listening to Hannity on the radio just about every day. He says a lot of things I agree with. He is a Reagan Conservative with lots of ideas that support his political stance.

Over the past few months has been intentionally taking calls from liberal democrats. It is almost embarrassing how rude and disrespectful he is. He usually interrupts them several times and doesn't let them make their point. Hannity's occasional on air behavior keeps me from being too much of a fan.

No real comments needed for these headlines.

U.S. Budget Deficit Hit Record $1.4 Trillion in 2009
The previous record deficit was $459 billion and was set just last year. Obama loves to tell everyone that he was handed a deficit, in fact, he was... the only problem is that he tripled what was handed to him. Bring on the $900 billion dollar Government run health care. The people in Washington DC are getting really scary to us in the heartland of America.

The Current Health Care Proposal is Going to be Fantastic

2009-10-05T12:17:00.001-06:00

I am so excited about the health care that Obama wants to put in place. Just hang on with me and you will be excited too. We have heard Obama say over and over again that it will be unlawful for insurance companies to not accept a customer due to pre existing conditions.

Fantastic! This is what we are all going to love. So cancel your insurance plan insurance until you need it. In other words I am going to cancel my insurace coverage as soon as possible and quit paying these blasted monthly fees. Then when I am feeling sick or get hurt I will just stop by the insurance company on the way to the Doctor's office or emergency room and get a policy to take with me. Once I am treated and have all my meds under my new insurance plan I will just cancel the plan again and not pay any monthly fees. This is going to be great. I can't wait to save all that money.

Obviously I am joking. The President now is using the word "reform" in context like the only way our current health care system will change is if we go with a government managed system. There can be a lot of change for the better without having the government try manage your health. I don't know why I am trying to convince my readers of this, we have already spoken. We don't want the government to manage our health...they are going to try and do it anyway. Vote them out in 2010.

Why I don't support Obama

2009-10-04T12:11:00.000-06:00

I respect the office of the President and I give some props to Obama for being succesful in his career. However since I don't approve of the job he is doing, I will write the reasons why so that when conservative haters get on here, they can simply refer to the list below before they start trumping up inaccurate posts.

1. Obama is not a man of his word. He said he was going to post all legislation online before it was voted on. There was a recent vote to make that happen and it failed. Did Obama support the bill? I don't know we never heard from him about it he certainly didn't get behind it like healthcare or cap and tax. He speaks like he is a moderate Democrat yet he governs like a liberal. He claimed he would put an end to earmarks. There were something like 8,000 in the past budget he approved. While Bush was President he had no support for the war in Iraq, he only would be critical by making it known that Afganastan is where we should be, he is doing a terrible job there. And he was going to shut down Gitmo immediately, it is still open. He was going to end the war in Iraq. Now we are hearing it could be 3 years befoe we claim victory.

2. I am sick of seeing his mug on TV. I don't know why he thinks he needs to be appearring on late night TV shows. Why is he filming commercials with George Lopez? Actually I do know the answer. It is becuase he wants to keep the media in the bag. They report on him so favorably it isn't even funny. I wish the media would be informational and reliable. However, they are in the tank for Obama since Obama also does favors for them to drive up ratings.

3. I have been in the work force for 28 years. I have always provided a comfortable living for myself by hardwork and dedication. It would be the opinion of our President that I don't deserve what I have and that I should give it to those who haven't worked as hard in life. I understand there truly are a few folks that genuinely need assistance, don't get me wrong. At the same time, he is riding around in Airforce One like he has a new toy and his enterage when he travels is absurd. Why should he be able to take the largest, least economical jet when he travels yet he blew a gasket with CEO's of private industry fly jets.

4. He is way to much of a socialist for me. According to today's published online polls, only 41% of us want the Government to run our health care system, he is going to try and ram it down our throats anyway. You either believe in free market enterprise or a socialistic financial system, Obama would be the latter. He stole Chevrolet from the rightful owners. These people paid for their shares of the company and he gave it to the union. He forced Dodge into bankruptcy. He has meddled in the banking industry. He appoints Czars. Where again do Czars fit into a free republic?

I will keep this a limited list for now. There is no opinion in the above statements, just facts. I don't agree with how he leads.

Inspired to get the 'ol Blog fired up again

2009-10-03T22:51:00.000-06:00

I was checking out some old bookmark links in my computer the other day and decided to see my blog tracker. I was surprised at how many people were checking it out. Then I read a political article online that ticked me off and so I challenged the author. I am now inspired to get the ol' blog going again. For those of you who may be just running accros this blog, it is a conservative opinionated commentary. Conservatives will enjoy it, if you are on the left side of the political spectrum... not so much.

Enjoy the fresh look and there are a few new things I was able to add thanks to blogger.com
