Fight For Your Right To (A Boston Tea) Party

CBS's Chip Reid shows the arrogance of the networks. "That cable rant..." was how he described the comments that Santelli made about B.O.'s "Tax Yolk" that has been forced onto Americans' necks.

It is encouraging to see that although Santelli may have chosen some slightly different words, his tone and position remain the same.

Stand your ground, man. There are millions of Americans looking to people like you to encourage a mindset like that which would prompt another Boston Tea Party.

Problem number one, however, is getting so many Americans to re-learn about the Boston Tea Party, what it stood for, why it happened, etc.

From Tax Hike To Tax Halve?

So, in less than his first 100 days, B.O. passed his Economic Tankulus (sorry, "stimulus") bill. Now, not even a week into that bill, he is already talking about how he intends to halve our trillion dollar deficit by 2013.

This should tell people that it's obvious even to the socialists (I'm about done calling them liberals) that lower taxes and no deficit is good for our country. Otherwise, why on earth would B.O. already be talking about getting rid of half the deficit.

Here are a couple of reasons:

1) He's already campaigning for 2012 re-election (duh!)

2) The goal of the "Big Bailout" was never designed to be an economic stimulus. It was a ruse to pass a truckload of liberal legislation. Don't believe me? Read the bill and all the fine print...including what Harry Reid (D-NV) hand wrote just before delivering to B.O. for his signature.

3) The ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of the American small business owner will continue to help drive our great Republic forward - and the Dems want to take credit for a market that gets corrected during B.O.'s Presidency...so they start talking now about all that will have been accomplished by 2013 (one year into a presumptuous second B.O. term).

One very frustrating thing that hit me today is that I have no way of knowing whether or not we, as a country, have a $10 billion deficit or a $5 trillion deficit. Who holds that checkbook? Who is personably responsible for showing the American people how this all works? I have no idea how to know if our politicians, or more to the point - if our President is telling the truth on our deficit and financial situation of our country.

More on the USSA

After seeing the headline on the Drudge Report regarding the NY Times article on NYTIMES: 'Many women... dreaming about sex with the president'..., it is no wonder that the newspaper's circulation and their credibility are in the proverbial toilet! And they want bailout money??? Like every other business out there, they should either succeed or fail based on their own ability to turn a profit. That is what American free enterprise is all about.

We must fight against ALL attempts by the B.O. and his toadies to turn this into the United Socialist States of America! The USSA -- Not now, not ever.

Coming Soon: U.S.S.A.

If you feel like what you see, hear and read in the press these days is moving our great country to resemble a communist state similar to Russia or Venezuela - you're not the only one.

Republican Governor of South Carolina Mark Sanford is going on record as saying as much.

The "Big Bailout" is moving - at light speed it would seem - our country away from a market-based economy to one where the government bails your stupid butt out for bad business decisions and no consequences for it.

B.O. and the Dems are pushing right down party lines (so much for "non-partisan politics") to get the "stimulus" approved. They (the Dems) keep callin it 'the solution' for our country and that the longer it takes to pass it, the more dangerous place we will be in financially.

WHAT?!

Let's go into debt, lots of debt, and that debt will pull us out of debt. Have you ever seen a family do that? The result is generally bankruptcy, isn't it? (that...was rhetorical) It is a solution. There is no question about that. The question no one seems to be asking is what is it the solution to? Answer - what it will take to create (as Gov. Sanford so eloquently phrased) a savior-based economy?

The other question it answers is what will it take to finally prove Karl Marx and create an environment for the U.S.A. to fall and become a Socialist nation? If you are not old enough, or educated enough to know about all of that Karl Marx talk, then I suggest you inquire about it with your parents or grandparents. There was a time when we acted like a smart country and the fabric of our country not only ran diametrically opposed to the ideals of someone like Karl Marx - we were intentional about doing things opposed to those philosophies.

WARNING - This Story Should Disturb You...A Lot

This constitutes murder - no matter what your politics are on the subject of abortion.

Personally, I hope first degree murder is what this clinic and those employed there are charged with.

A woman gave birth to a live baby. Yes, a live baby. The baby was found (in the autopsy) to have had air in her lungs. That means...a live baby was born. What happened next (read here) is what will disturb anyone.

This is exactly what those of us that are pro-life have long feared would occur with legalized abortion - - - stone cold murder of a life right in front of your eyes under the guise of "legal abortion."

Please speak out against this to your local Congressmen & women.

Leadership Free Zone

A recent Fox News article entitled "Graham Says Obama Is 'AWOL' on Stimulus Debate", stated (in part) the following...

President Obama has been "AWOL" in negotiations over the economic stimulus package, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday in a scathing rebuke of the new president.

The South Carolina Republican told FOX News that Obama has not been providing leadership, and he criticized the president for giving TV interviews and writing an editorial touting the package, rather than addressing the complaints of lawmakers.

"This process stinks," Graham told FOX News, before repeating a lot of his criticisms on the Senate floor. "We're making this up as we go and it is a waste of money. It is a broken process, and the president, as far as I'm concerned, has been AWOL on providing leadership on something as important as this."

I can only ask this question -- "How in the world anyone could think that the B.O. could provide leadership when he had no leadership skill set or experience prior to his coronation?"

It is simply not realistic by anyone from either the left or right to imagine that he will just magically start being a leader simply because he now inhabits the White House.

News flash --- You can't gain leadership experience through osmosis!

Yes, this is the change we can believe in.

B.O. said he's visited all 57 states.

Do they know we only have 50 states and a little over 300 million total Americans in the United States of America (including illegals)?

You can't make this stuff up, folks. Keep the change.
