President Obama: The New Mr. Goodwrench

America is in the car business now; expect an American version of the Yugo on a GM lot near you.

What we witnessed on March 30, 2009, was frightening, but not completely unexpected. Even more frightening was President Obama’s belief that American’s would feel reassured by the fact that the full force of the US Government is now backing GM warranties. Makes me glad I own a Honda.

I also have no sympathy for either Chrysler or General Motors. When you dance with the devil, you shouldn’t be surprised when he leads.

Newsbusted: President Obamas Idea of Bipartisanship

Obama’s Brown Shirt Army: Americorp

During the Presidential campaign, then candidate Obama had what many of us felt was a “Reichstag” moment when he proposed “a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded”

Throughout the ages social fascist have known that the key to power is to control the press and indoctrinate the youth. It is in that spirit that President Obama, with the willing participation of Congress, is preparing to release an internal domestic force comprised of the same sheep that help put the Leftist in power:

Expanded Americorps has an authoritarian feel

“……strong odor of creepy authoritarianism.” That is an understatement!
The facts should frighten all Americans:

• 75,000 to 250,000 soldiers
• Funded at $5.7 billion
• Youth engagement zones
• Operational headquarters placed on college campus’
• Superintendents/cadre and uniforms
• Mandatory service learning that will be part of the curriculum in all secondary schools

The only thing missing is a salute, a march, and a endearing title for the overall leader of this force. I would like to suggest the Deutscher Gruß, the goose step, and either Chancellor or Duce Obama. Just keep reminding yourself....its for our own good.

Obama’s Rescue Plan “A Road To Hell”

Up is down, right is wrong, and European leader’s warned President Obama that his policies will lead the world to economic ruin:

Czech prime minister Mirek Topolanek adds to transatlantic friction over plan for global economic recovery

In all fairness, Minister Topolanek is not a socialist, and has been a valuable ally to America. Nevertheless, when Europe believes your polices go too far Left, you should take heed.

Daniel Hannan: A Voice Of Conervative Reason

Conservatives rejoice, a new voice has stood up and fired the first reasoned attack on the insanity that has permeated governments around the globe.

On March 24, 2009, Daniel Hannan, MEP for South East England, gave a brilliant speech chastising British Prime Minister reckless spending that has greatly jeopardized the financial stability of the UK:



Where is America's Daniel Hannan?

What If Liberals Ran The World

Barney Frank: Scalia Is A Homophobe

Proving once again that he lacks any intellectual discipline, and has no problem resorting to false character assignation, Barney Frank took it upon himself to malign a true gentleman of the Supreme Court, Justice Scalia:

Barney Frank: Antonin Scalia is a ‘Homophobe’

In typical Liberal fashion, if you present an intelligent, reasoned argument, which just happens to disagree with your selfish version of the “truth,” than by all means, resort to name calling. Isn't that what Left falsely accuses Conservatives of doing all the time?

Note:

This is the actual interview that Frank gave to www.365gay.com. There are issues of concern mentioned during the interview that Frank's outlines as part of the Democratic agenda that he hopes they achieve over the "next two-years." Why two-years?

Conservatives: Nothing But A Bunch of Bigots

Conservatives are often falsely accused of “not pay enough attention” to minorities. The truth is that Conservatives are not guilty of ignoring minorities, merely Conservatives are not willing to exploit minorities as Liberals have. Our lack of wiliness to exploit minorities often comes across as uncaring. Nothing could be further from the truth:

Why the GOP Can't Win With Minorities

Shelby makes some valid points. However, what Conservatives really need to do is explain how conservative principals are not about skin color, ethnic background, or gender. Conservative values are not about categories, but about the “content of your character.”

I have always had difficultly even using the word “minority,” mainly because of my glamorized belief that we are all Americans, and as such we are all a majority. E Pluribus Unum, Many Into One, it is not just a slogan on our currency; it is statement of our unity, a testament to our very strength as a nation. E Pluribus Unum is a motto of a nation made up of immigrants from all around the world, brought together by whatever means, to form one nation. Think about it, you can move to Japan, but you will never be Japanese. But you can come to America, and become American.

Conservatives are not bigots, but we are guilty of being naïve. That naivety can come across as being disconnected, or worse, heartless. However, the truth is that the Conservative message does not need to be “adjusted or tailored” to suit the needs of minorities. Simply put, the Conservative message is in need of fusion, a synergy between issue and solution. Which is easy when we not only utter the words E Pluribus Unum, but we live by them.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Employee Free Choice Act: Exposing American Workers To Intimidation

There has never been a more poorly titled piece of legislation than the pending Employee Free Choice Act (well maybe other than FOCA). This piece of legislation has nothing to do with “choice,” and everything to do with a workers right to choose their own destiny without fear of reprisal and intimidation:

Secret Ballots Are Free Choice

The argument by those who support this bill falls right on its face with a simple question – “Is a voter more likely to be exposed to threats, pressure, and coercion if their vote was out in the open or secret?” Repeatedly, whether we are casting our ballot for student council, mayor, or President of the Unites States, the vote is matter between the ballot box and ourselves. It should be no different for union votes.

Do not get me wrong. There was a time when unions served a purpose in this country; and there are some companies still that mistreat their workers and deserve a union presence. But unions are adversarial in nature, and in modern times have become greedy entities feeding off the fears of their members, and holding decent businesses for ransom. This piece of legislation has nothing to do with the rights of employees, and everything to do with political payback to the unions.

Unions in this country overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party. The full weight of union money and personnel are used to support Democratic candidates in almost every major, national election. However, union membership is decreasing, which in turn is reduces membership dues and the union’s political clout. The Democrats need this bill to pass so that dishonest union thugs can try to rebuild a corrupt machine that the Democratic Party needs to survive.

It Won’t Be Called The Fairness Doctrine When Free Speech Dies

The reality is that the Democrats will not pass the Fairness Doctrine, but they won’t need to. The Democrats will attempt to silence free speech in the name of “fairness,” but call it by another name:

Speaker Pelosi Backs Senate Amendment to Regulate Talk Radio

Notice that the Democrats are not talking about print, TV or college classrooms that are in need of “regulating.” I wonder why that is?

Is Obama Ready For A Vacation?

With each misstep, Obama’s cheerleaders (formerly known as the mainstream media) offer up lame excuses for the ineptitude of President Obama’s administrations. We have the Chinese’s threatening our Navy, the Iranians passing the nuclear threshold, and our economy sinking further into the abyss. And what has been President’s Obama’s priorities? Stem cell research…perfect!

The Obama administration is so incompetent that cannot even get the exchange of gifts right:

Obama’s re-gifting due to fatigue
No Way To Treat A Prime Minister
Obama and Hillary are developing the gift of the gaffe

You will notice that I did not use any headlines from CBS, NBS, ABC, or the New York Times. They decided to sit this story out. Obliviously, the foreign press is just overreacting; this is clearly just another case of crybaby Europeans.

So which is it: exhaustion, stupidity, lack of experience, ADD, alien abduction, or just simply a case of the Monday’s? What do you think the reaction would have been if the Bush administration had done this?

In Defense Of Reaganomics

From the Wall Street Journal:



Has Reaganomics been replaced by Obamanomics?

Obama’s Tax Cuts Are Just A Big Lie

We have heard the numbers before. The top 5% of tax payers pay 60% of the taxes., but under Obama’s tax plan that burden will increase. When is a enough a enough?

Jonah Goldberg: Obama’s ‘shared sacrifice’

You could take all of the money made by the richest 1 percent in this country and it wouldn’t come close to covering government’s expenses….even if those rich people for some reason kept working. How much more can we put on the backs of so few before they break?

Obama’s War On The Rich: Disney Class Envy

There are too many people in this country who have taken to vilifying the rich. The chief pitch-fork shaker being our very own President:

The Scrooge McDuck Myth

The myth starts when people arbitrarily determine who they perceive to be rich, and then start to crave what their neighbors have earned. Is that what America is closer to becoming?

Obama Abortion Policy: There Will Be No Conscience Objectors

The Obama administrator is considering overturning the policy that permitted medical personnel not to participate in abortions due to conscience:

Obama ‘Review’ Likely to Reverse Bush ‘Conscience’ Protections for Doctors, Health Workers

With the battle over FOCA looming, any the potential appointment of Governor Kathleen Sebelius as Secretary of HHS, this could be the first salvo to force all American’s to embrace abortion. I guess choice is in the eye of the beholder.

Who Is Really To Blame For Our Current Financial Crisis?

Which was it………not enough regulation or too many regulations? Are the Republicans to blame, or the Democrats? Is this all Wall Streets fault, or is the weight on President Bush? Financial expert Phil Gramm wrote an enlightening piece on the cause of this crisis:

WSJ: Who Really Is To Blame For Our Current Mess?

Because it is Phil Gramm there are those on the Left who will immediately dismiss this piece, but what they are really ignoring is the truth. And why shouldn’t they, because in the end they would have to place blame where it belongs…..with them!

Democrats Ignored Warning Signs

What Caused Our Economic Crisis?

Iran Has Enough Fissile Materials To Make A Bomb……Fantastic!

Iran, the country President Obama once called no “threat”, has been very busy. First the managed to get a hold of the blueprints for Marine One, and now we learn that they have all the major components needed to complete their first nuclear weapon:

Fox News: Iran Has What It Needs To Build The Bomb

Mullen: Iran has fissile materials for bomb

Iran Amasses Enough Fissile Material for Bomb, Officials Say

"Iran, Cuba,Venezuela? These countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose any serious threat to us." How is that working out for you President Obama?

Rush Limbaugh at CPAC: The Target On His Back Just Got Bigger

Rush Limbaugh brought down the house at CPAC on February 28, and those on the Left immediately jumped on his speech. In fact, Rush has given the Left enough propaganda ammunition for years to come:

Limbaugh: The Target On His Back Just Got Bigger

We can count on the Left to use sound bites from Rush’s speech to help raise money and create further false controversies. Worst yet, there are some Republicans who will try to distance themselves from not only Rush’s speech, but Rush the man. That would be very unfortunate.

Rush stated facts and made some very important points, proving when they are articulated correctly, they are part of a very powerful message. For those who chose to ignore what Rush said, or who have completely neglected the muscle of the message, you are missing out on an opportunity to recapture the truth of conservatism. Don’t kill the massager because you do not like the message.

CPAC Straw Poll: Romney The “Front Runner”

When you live in a 24/7 news cycle, every story is a big story. The media is making more out of CPAC and the straw poll selection of Romney then they need to. We are four years away from the next Presidential election, and this straw poll should mean very little. Let us remember that this is the third time that Romney has won the straw poll….how has that translated during the primaries?

Right Pundits: Romney Wins Straw Poll

I like Romney, and I believe he would have been the best person to handle this current financial crisis, and this not to say that Romney is not a leading contender………..but come on! This is 2009, we just finish our last Presidential election a few months ago, and our next Presidential election is the last thing conservatives should be worried bout.

Conservatives need to temper their focus and put their energies towards winning local elections (school boards, city councils, and State government) and taking back Congress in 2010! All of our time, money and effort should be at the grassroots level. Grassroots organizing and strong local efforts are the elements that will ensure that we build a strong foundation of influence.

Iran Behind Security Breach: President’s Helicopter Fleet Compromised

A Pennsylvania company that participated in the preparation of Marine One, the designation for the Presidential helicopter fleet, discovered that blueprints for the helicopter design have been passed onto an IP address in Iran:

Fox News: Marine One Security Breach

America has enemies, and possession of theses plans by a terrorist nation such as Iran is a grieve menace to the leadership of our country. This incident is a grime reminder that regardless who our President is, there are those in the world whose continued existence will always be a threat to our security.

Given this recent intrusion, what should be America’s response?
