Roseanne Roseanne Roseanne

With all the reports of ABC and the rush to cancel the new Roseanne Show, I have to say that I believe that in the end this will be good for Trump supporters and America as a whole. Now before you hit the back button or close the tab let me explain. I believe, that like many actors, she is a self-promoting, self-serving, actor. She only cares about what whatever she believes will keep her in the spotlight. I fear that she, and her show, would have been only a fair weather friend.

Tweet

To begin with, I must be honest and say that I never watched the Roseanne Show. I refuse to watch ABC, NBC or CBS network television. It is just has a lot to do with the political slant of their so-called news programs and how it creeps into of their programming. However, beyond that I can say that I never watched her show in its last iteration. The broadcast occurred after I began to look for other entertainment options. Therefore, I am not a critic of her acting or of the content of these productions.

I can only base my comments on what I have read or what others have said about its contents. I am not interested in her earliest show. I did find it very interesting that so many people became so enamored with the Roseanne Show when it returned. I just find the contents of her new show to be quite interesting.

Looking at the actual character of the lead actor who is the namesake of the program, my interest was piqued further. It should goes without saying that Roseanne Barr has always been a controversial person. She started her career as a stand-up comedian, billing herself as a domestic goddess. This persona brought her media attention, late night show airtime, and then her first prime time show. Her folksy comedy hit a nerve with many Americans and feed her popularity.

Roseanne is a wild card. Some of her past publicity stunts has been hard for me to explain, other than they were just that: publicity stunts. Her “2012 Presidential run” with Cindy Sheehan may have been just a way to sell a movie idea. However it the stance she pushed were socialist solutions. Her beliefs would seem to be far from the policies implemented so far by the Trump Administration.

Although her character declares her support for President Trump from the beginning of the reboot of her show, the writers for the show are liberals. My belief is that the end game could have been to use any reason to turn the narrative to the negative. I truly don’t believe that the people working on her show would have not tried to use her popularity to undercut the president. The progressives are pulling out all stops to turn back the hands of time and restore the damage done by Obama. It seems thou that Roseanne herself may have killed this plan by accident. Her tweet that caused the firestorm may have been her attempt to convince more of the show fans that she was on their side and it backfired. But the Progressive movement has been shattered so badly that they are feeding on each other. President Trump has outsmarted them at almost every turn.

This episode is not over. I just hope that if I am correct in my hypothesis, that it is just another sign that we are closer to draining the Washington swamp to the point where it can never regain this type of power again.

A New Day in America

Beyond all else, I woke up in an America where a major part of our First Amendment right to free speech has been restored. Today, as proven by the demonstration in Washington on Saturday, Americans can once again disagree with the President of the United States without being called a racist. However, in a strange twist, it seems that if you do not disagree or criticize President Trump, then now you are a racist. It really makes me wonder who the real racist is in this argument. I think I know the answer.

Tweet

According to those, who have controlled the narrative for far too many years, if you defend yourself, your beliefs, or have any American values you are an evil person. We are not evil people for defending ourselves. We are not evil people for defending our way of life. We are not evil people for loving life and wanting to improve that life. We are not evil for wanting our children and those who come after us to have the same and even more freedoms and, this is the most important part, the responsibilities of a free people.

We have an insurgency in the major population centers of this nation who no longer support the founding principles and traditions of our nation. They no longer care to work toward the common good of the nation as a whole. They want to get “their way.” They only want to impose their will upon the rest of the nation. They have lived under government control for most or all of their lives. They depend on government for so much in their lives; they have lost the basic meaning of what is freedom.

When you live in a cage, you become happy with your captivity. They demand more from government because they fear losing the safety of the cage. Too many trust a faceless, uncaring government bureaucracy more than they do the human beings around them. They have enslaved themselves to the ideas of that perfect socialist society, without understanding the full cost. They just need their streets cleaned and trash removed. What they eat and drink is ultimately determined completely out of their control. The local governments in most cities are determined to forbid their citizens from defending their lives or property. They have been told that guns are the problem not those how use the guns. Hollywood paints a picture of violence that reinforces the notion.

The majority in the urban areas believe that by their sheer numbers alone that they not only absolutely correct in their belief, that they can decide the fate and direction of the nation. That if you live in a rural area, you do not count. A majority of the states not a majority of the population determined the last election. That is the way the founders designed it and I fully support it, since that was the idea behind a republic. The majority that lost are currently throwing something that can only be described as a “tantrum.” Along with this immature display, the anarchist and socialist can use this disorder to create even more disunity in the nation.

I do not know if President Trump can be trusted no more than anyone can fully trust anyone else in public life. I just feel better that maybe, just maybe there will be some real common sense brought back into the government. I can only hope that our government will begin to start protecting the citizens of this nation from enemies from without and within. I hope that we will discontinue the move to globalism, where the government set policies that send American jobs overseas.

For far too many years, governments raised corporate taxes and set overbearing regulations to the point where companies found it easier and more profitable outside of the country. When the Federal Government alone is taking 35% of a company’s profits and told that, they are not paying their “fair share” with no one defends them, why would they not want to leave for another more friendly nation? When they left, they took the jobs with them. The jobs that many Americans need to support their families. The only jobs left paid far less than the jobs that the governmental globalist policy ran away.

I also hope that our government can once again become a Constitutional Government. The 20th century saw the Federal Government overreach their constitutional limits. The growth of that government has caused it to become so removed from the people that I feel that they are no longer a representative government. Far too many of the agencies and government employees are not justified within the confines of our founding document. However, too many people really believe that those agencies are actually involved in what their name implies. Therefore, that makes it harder for a reformer to make the changes that must occur to reestablish our republic. In addition, the large number of government workers makes them a huge voice to push back against any reforms. Not to mention the unions that should have never been allowed to organize government workers.

I pray for our country. I pray for our President. I pray for those who do not agree with me. I pray that we can become that shining city on the hill that everyone want to emulate not invade. We must stop trying to impose “democracy” on the world and show them the way that they can build their own republic. By trying to impose ourselves on the world or trying to buy their friendship, we do nothing that moves the world to a place where humans can live in truly peaceful and prosperous would. However, the promise is there with new leadership in Washington to move us in a new direction.

WI Win

When you see daily the government ceasing more and more power and attacking the Constitution it is easy to become cynical. The progressives as they continue to preach to the nation nightly that the things that made this nation great are evil, out of date, or no longer relevant to “today’s world.” The Left Stream Media constantly paints a progressive picture of the world as they ignore the hate and violence on the left but accuse conservative Americans for events that never occur.

Tweet

With so many factors—even with the Internet as a balance to the LSM—it is hard to stay positive. Any thinking American knows the obstacles faced by anyone who is reformed minded. There are huge Federal and bureaucracies. The public sector unions are very powerful and command giant war chest to protect their stranglehold on government workers and Democrat politicians. The incestuous relationship between the unions and Democrat party officials are legendary. Taking on these mostly corrupt and highly thuggish machines is enough to make a person concerned about winning such a battle depressed. When Obama took the Administration branch in 2009 and started his push for “card check” that would have, if passed, allowed forced unionization across the nation. The nations march to socialism at the least and communism at the worst seemed to be a predetermined fact.

Mr. Obama has had a near parade of union leaders through the White House, starting soon after his election. These close relationships with union leaders and his admitted preference for radicals, socialist, communists, and domestic terrorists are enough to understand that this man and his close advisors do not have the same ideas for the future of this nation. He and his advisories not only have been willing not let a crisis go to waste, but seem quite willing to create a crisis to exploit. This is not a recipe for a bright future and some of his policies may have damaged this nation forever.

His now revealed membership of the far left "New Party" shows his true goals of this country. Their connection with ACORN not only adds to the concerns that I have been fighting, but it also drives home how important the November elections are to the future of our republic. I understand how each and every citizen is to this fight. Although his ego seems to have caused him to not support the unions in their hour of need, I don’t believe he has abandoned his goals. He just knows that if he wants to maintain his seat of power, he can not openly support the unions with such a show of opposition. I’m sure that he believes that he will be able to obtain many of his goals, but only if he gets that second term. Who knows, he might think that he will be able to actually change the system so that he can get a third and fourth term. Maybe he thinks he can cease even more power and control. He has not been afraid to exceed his authority with Executive Orders and regulations.

The results of the Wisconsin win this past Tuesday, along with the little watched ones in California, are enough to give honest freedom loving Americans hope. Over the past few decades labor unions have taken control of many local governments. Many partisans, labor leaders, and Democrat operatives will say that that assertion is false, but look at how much power these unions have obtained. This relationship is driving many cities, counties, and state governments into bankruptcy. The nation as a whole is near the edge of financial collapse due to crony capitalism and unchecked corruption.

Although I’m very pleased to see the people of Wisconsin winning some control back from a system that has raided treasuries across the country with wild abandonment one victory does not win the war. Because this is a war on the union thugs that are unafraid to use almost any means to win. These wins have wounded the unions, but they are now aware that they are fighting a much larger and important battle then they first thought. They will be fighting back as hard as they can to preserve the power they have enjoyed. Nothing is more dangerous then a wounded animal. The actions that those union supports took last year were those more like animals and less like reasonable people.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not so much anti-union as anti big union. When unions became larger than the businesses that they unionized they became big business. When unions openly began to openly support socialism and reject the capitalist system they became an enemy to the nation and the republic. When unions became a barrier between the people and their government they no longer served as a benefit to the nation. I am and have always been an opponent of public sector unions. There are many reasons why private sector unions came into existence and why they’ve lost their membership and political power. They over exceeded their relevance and out grew their needs. The unions have become too radical and too big to serve the average workers. They seem to only serve their national goals and the huge money that comes with their size.

Now is not the time to celebrate the win in Wisconsin too much. We must learn from the victory and understand the weaknesses of the public sector unions that have attacked our system of government, the free enterprise system, and the American way of life. The next election is too important to assume that we have won the day. We must not aim to destroy the unions, but we must curtail their power. We must find and remove the thugs from their ranks. We must take control of our nation and restore our republic by ending the creeping tyranny of the unions, the government, the Progressives, and the Democrat Party.

If we do not follow through on the lessons learned from June 5, 2012 this win will turn into a footnote in the history of the demise of the United States of America and our once grand republic. Moving forward to November is something that we must keep in mind. The Wisconsin win is one victory in a long battle. We can not throw it away.

None of the Above...Again

The Democratic Primary of 2010 was very interesting. One of the most interesting things was when a political unknown won the South Carolina Democrat Primary for the U. S. Senate race. I wrote about this in “None of the Above” and “The Shocker in South Carolina.” But once again Democrat voters have spoken their disappointment of their party through the electoral process. Now that it is primary season again many of the loyal party members are going against the party bosses. The mood of the voters would seem to be very unsettled. Although the “powers that be” wish to portray these primary results to uninformed “southern voters,” Republican tricks, racism, or other convenient self-serving excuses. But dismissing the concerns of the rank and file of an American political party is not a formula for long term success.

Tweet

In 2008 Alvin Greene entered the South Carolina primary with what was assumed to be no chance of winning. This assumption was wrong. He won the primary and then was defeated in the general. It was a clear case of the members of the party voting for “none of the above.” This year it seems to have happened again when the voters in West Virginia voted in a large number against Baraka Obama for a federal prisoner. This can only be seen as a protest vote. To think that at least 40% of Democrats that voted in the West Virginia primary would go to the polls and select an unknown person over the seated President is truly amazing. It is also should be keeping many politicians and political advisors awake at night.



The political unrest is not confined to the Democrats. This year has seen a couple of incumbent Republicans have been shown the door. Several politicians have sensed the mood change and decided to not seek reelection, but it appears that there are many who don’t understand the change in the political winds.

The arrogance of the ruling class in this nation has separated them from the nation as a whole. For many years our children have been taught socialism is a better system. The ideas that made this country great have been demonized for years. There are too many socialists and communist in our government. These forms of governing are at odds with freedom and liberty. The United States was built on the principle of citizen representation. When our representatives are actively pursuing socialism then freedom will soon be come extinct. Freedom and socialism are at odds with one another. There is no way that you can confiscate a person’s possessions and still claim that that person is free. Without property rights and the dream of prosperity there is no America. There is only slavery and servitude.

The Communist Party USA stopped running candidates over a decade ago. The reason they put on their website was: That the Democrat Party’s goals were in line with their goals. Far too many members of Congress are members of the Progressive caucus. Their overall goals are at odds with everything I believe in as a freedom loving American. It seems that too many citizens in this nation are willing to give up liberty for the lies and promises of the Progressive Socialist. As they have gained more and more power they take more and more of our liberties away. This process has been so slow that many of the people today don’t realize what has been lost.

When people obtain power and lose sight of those who they have been elected to server, then tyranny will follow. The political parties have lost sight of the average person and the ideas of American freedom. Our politicians have talked about controlling us. Freedom and government control are on the opposite ends of the scales.

We must regain our freedom of speech. When I was young American would say: “I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it.” This has been lost to “Political Correctness” while many on the left or of a “protected” ethnic group can say anything without repercussion.

We as a people must regain our liberties. It seems that many of the freedom loving loyal American Democrats beginning to understand that the policies of the people they have been supporting no longer support the nation. They understand that democracy and socialism are far different things. They see the Progressives spending the nation into irreversible debt. They see corruption and crony capitalism. They see the FOB (friends of Barak) getting kickbacks and making millions while they are unemployed or underemployed.

So yes I do believe that there is a rebellion in the Democrat Party’s loyal supporters as they continue to look to vote none of the above whenever they can. I can only wonder how many of these Democrats will hold their nose and vote Republican or just stay at home on Election Day. I can only pray that more and more of our leaders will be replaced with intelligent and loyal Americans who will stop the out of control spending and government regulations. That will be just the beginning of returning our nation to the freedoms that made it great.

Bless the GSA

There are just times when you have to thank people for doing what comes naturally. It has become fashionable these days for people on in the Left Stream Media to praise and preach the value of government control. Washington constantly declares that bigger is better, of course that only counts when they are talking about government agencies and their big donors. This is true when talking about everything from healthcare to taxes as those in government believe that they can solve any problem with a huge program spending billions of dollars. The sad part is that many Americans seem to believe this illogical concept.

Tweet

Share

No one seems to believe this more than the current spender-in-chief, Barack Hussein Obama. His only plan to get anything done is to spend more money. He, and his willing accomplices in Congress, has spent so much money that they have outpaced every President. The reckless pace at which the government has grown endangers the nation as a whole. Bureaucracies are self feeding mechanisms and the federal system has been made even worst by the phenomenon of baseline budgeting which provides ever growing amounts of dollars to them. Since real budget cuts never really occur, then the various agencies and administrative organizations must find ways to spend all of that money.

One of the ways that much of that money is spent is through “empire building” among midlevel managers. They find ways to justify additional projects or expenditures to increase their head count and budgets. I’ve seen this in large companies and government agencies. In many cases the only way that a manager can further their career is by growing their department or program. With baseline budgeting they are not only fighting for an ever growing pool of money but many are finding creative ways to attract and spend those funds. This is the reason that bloated businesses and governments fail in the long run.

Logic and economics—not Keynesian economics—would point to economic activity creates wealth. No matter what the Socialist today say; Free Market Economics created freedom, liberty, and prosperity. Big government programs only create temporary activities but create obligations that can overwhelm the private sector due to the inefficiencies. Because bigger is not better for everything. Bigger is just naturally inefficient and not cost effective.

So with all of that said it is no wonder that the General Services Administration (GSA) would see no problem with extravagant outings at major resorts. The idea that somehow these public servants saw no reason to think that they were wasting tax payer money is not surprising when you consider the resent attitude shown by other government workers. It is true that only one district—has so far—been found to be abusing the trust of the American people.

I believe in The US Constitution and the rights that are enumerated in it. I believe that everyone who is a citizen is protected from governmental abuse and persecution. Even Mr. Jeffrey Neely’s invocation of his Fifth Amendment rights should not be misconstrued but could point to some deep concerns about the possibility that more abuses will come to light. The abuses that have been made public should be a warning to all Americans.

As we move forward in this election year I have to say that this whole episode is a blessing. I can only hope that more Americans take the correct lesson that big government does not work. The Democrats and Obama Administration thinks that the only answer to any problem is bigger government. Look at their track record so far. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is estimated to be valued at $831,000,000,000.00 which went to many failed projects and directed money to pet projects of the President. The President and his talking heads would want us to believe that without this massive spending the economy would be worst, but the full price of this mismanagement of funds is not full understood by most of us.

The nationalization of the health care system slowly moves forward and may be accelerated if the Supreme Court declares ObamaCare unconstitutional. The lies that told to get its passage was bad enough, but the biggest was the cost estimates that ignored reality. The Progressives believe that by creating a huge price controlling government entity will actually control the free market. So how they overlook the spending of over $1,000,000,000,000.00 to implement this grand scheme will save money. Joe Biden said at the beginning of the Barack Obama’s term that they could spend their way out of debt. This is not only verging on insanity, but shows a total disregard for reality and common sense.

As the government continues to nationalize more industries through regulations and other means there will be more and more wasting of taxpayer’s money. There must be a total rejection of this statist attitude and a return to our constitutional limited government. It is time to run the Socialist, Progressives, and Communist out of government. This will be a slow process which has started, but we can not lose sight of what we have lost. The abusive attitudes of those who have been charged with the duty of protecting our nation must not be forgotten. So I have to be thankful for our blessings and realize that one of the biggest is that those who do abuse the system are not immune to the scrutiny of the people. Now we must real in the abuses of the rest of this out of control government. So I bless the GSA for showing use the true nature of our government. I can not forgive them for their abuses, but I’m thankful that they were arrogant enough to believe that what they were above the law and would not be scrutinized.

To Preserve, Protect and Defend

It seems clearer to me why the legal system and our government is such a mess. With a Law Professor like Barak Obama teach Constitutional classes it brings a multitude of problems into focus. As a professor the responsibility should be to teach future lawyers not only about legal precedent, but the actual Constitution. It seems that every few of our institutions of higher learning are actually teaching the foundation of our government. But it seems that few of our elected—and for that matter unelected—official are aware of that document’s content. That was made very clear as Princess Pelosi has struggled to justify ObamaCare. In her latest attempt she could not cite the Constitution of the United States, but instead cited the Declaration of Independence. She might as well have cited the Articles of Confederation. Which absolutely never allowed such a power grab as the one attempted by the Progressives in the government.

Tweet

Of course the Progressives are not concerned with preserving, protecting, or defending the Constitution. Mr. Obama sees our foundational document that defines our system of government and is suppose to preserve the liberty of the citizen, as an impediment to his ideas of a “perfect” union. The Socialist Progressives believe that they are meant to rule without impediments. The ideas that anyone can speak freely or defend themselves are frightening ideas.

The founders created a government with three equal branches.

Administrative: The Administrative Branch is supposed to, first and foremost, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. The occupant of the office is also tasked with enforcing the laws passed by Congress and caring out those duties that protect the nation from all enemies, internal or external. There are other duties but they all relate to the preservation of the legally constituted republic, defined in our Constitution.

Legislative: Congress is supposed to, first and foremost, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. They pass the laws that govern the nation. This also includes the preservation of the legally constituted republic, defined in our Constitution.

Judicial: The courts are supposed to, first and foremost, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. They interpret the laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. This also includes the preservation of the legally constituted republic, defined in our Constitution. The Supreme Court was designed to be separate from the political system. The members were supposed to be unconcerned about the current political temperament and only concerned with the implementation and constitutionality of the laws.

Mr. Obama has accused the court of Activism activities. Well it seems that there are two different ideas of what defines activism in the courts.

Activist Courts Defined:
To Progressive—such as Nancy Pelosi and Emperor Obama—an “activist” court is any court that stands in the way of the implementation of their radical agenda. They believe that their power is unquestionable and that anyone who disagrees or impedes their “progress” in redefining their personal power is an enemy. It is easy to see with the open attacks and Obama’s enemy list that they don’t believe that anyone should be allowed to challenge their actions.

To conservatives the idea of an “activist” court is when a court exceeds its constitutional bounds by redefining or creating a new “right.” There have been cases in which “activist” courts have order governments to spend money on social programs or involving themselves in-state commercial activities—such as Wickard v. Filburn.

The most extreme case that many cite is Roe v. Wade, in which the Supreme Court somehow decided that the Constitution allowed the Federal government to overturn all state laws and establish a new “right.” Even though there is nothing remotely close to their conclusions outlined in the final judgment delivered in this case. This case is responsible for much of the division in the nation. Because the court determined law by straying away from the customary self-imposed limits usually adhered to by the judiciary, many Americans feel that this was the ultimate “activist” court decision.

The Case that keeps Progressives awake:
It has been repeated several times this week—in different venues—that the courts have the final say. Although that may be true, it does not mean that all decisions are final. I keep hearing Progressives saying that cases like Roe v. Wade are settled law. The only problem with such a statement is that is not really true. That case could be overturned. It has happened before, which sets precedence. The case of Plessy v. Ferguson must worry pro-abortion advocates awake at night. Well if they even know about it. Of course many Americans only know about Brown v. Board of Education. Brown v. Board of Education was the case that eliminated the idea of “separate but equal” which was defined in Plessy v. Ferguson. By revisiting this case the Supreme Court overturned a really bad decision and set forth the desegregation of the nation.

Mr. Obama’s recent attempts to either intimidate the high court or at the every least to undermine their authority, has crossed the line. His political posturing has no place in his dealing with an equal branch of government. It will be interesting to see if the high court takes any actions to reestablish their non-political status and defend the rule of law.

This is the second time he has attacked the Supreme Court. He has exceeded his authority as President. The courts are a separate branch and are not accountable to his whims and wishes. His open defiance of our constitutional system, once again, puts him in direct conflict with his oath of office. As he continues to change our government with executive orders, I can only hope to see more court intervention to halt this erosion of our republic and the liberties of all Americans.

For far too many years our elected representatives have spent their time attempting to circumvent the Constitution and not defending it. The power grabs have been too many and the abuses have gone on for too long. It is time for more actions that will once again restore individual liberties and curtail governmental abuses. It is time to replace the Progressives in every branch at every level, with those who will adhere to their oath, to preserve, protect, and defend our Constitution.

Thoughts from Thursday 3-22-2012

Throwing gas on a fire: A former aid to the president is infamous for saying: "Never let a good crisis go to waste." Well even thou Mr. Emanuel is no longer in Washington, Mr. Obama still seem to live by this radical anti-freedom stance. Of course after the "beer summit" everyone with any commonsense knows that he has a disdain for the laws and the law enforcement of this nation.

Tweet

Share

His days as a community organizer never prepared him to be the chief law enforcement officer. He seems enjoy fanning the flames of hate. Well sir that is not your job. Maybe you should review the oath of office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

You are not defending the Constitution by seeding division and feeding hate. Your words were not designed to calm the nation as witnessed by the reaction from the merchants of hate that continues to call for violence. What happened in Sanford Florida was a tragedy. It should be view in that way. Sane and caring people do not relish the death of anyone born or unborn. But you seem to desire that there is violence. Your actions once again bring the question up again: Are you fit to lead the country?

As this episode once again demonstrates your judgment is lacking. I pray for the country and you. You should look before you leap. I hope that you can control this—what appears to me to be a—deep seeded hate in your heart. This nation doesn’t deserve a person who is unable to control their words, emotion, and actions. You occupy the Oval Office and are suppose to represent all of the people in this nation, not just those who look as you do.

For someone who is able to garner a large enough following to become President of the United States, you don’t seem to be very intelligent. This sad episode should have been ignored or mentioned only to try and comfort, not insight violence. When you called for “soul searching” you try and convict not just the shooter, but all Americans. We did nothing wrong. But you seem to think that somehow there is a collective guilt. That type of thought process is not only ignorant, but unproductive. Instead of chastising the American people and instilling hate and resentment, you should be trying to comfort the bereaved family and the American people. Death is a part of life and I never like to see an innocent person fall victim to any crime. A leader and I mean a true leader would not feed the flames of hate, but work to calm people down and look for answers.

UPDATE: On Saturday 3/24/12 it was reported that there was an eyewitness to the shooting—as opposed to overheard phone calls—that support a different version of event than that of the LSM. It could be that this time again the Mr. Obama has thrown gas on a fire and fanned it again. Once again it seems that he acted "stupidly." But I do not want to make the same mistake that Mr. Obama continually makes, rushing to judgment.

Say Anything: Speaking of gasoline, it appears that Mr. Obama is once again painting a picture based upon fiction. He somehow thought that in 3 years he could solve America’s dependence on petroleum. Breaking it would be a great goal to obtain, but finding a replacement for an estimated 19.18 million barrels of oil per day (EIA) is a titanic undertaking. But he blindly through billions of dollars into programs like Solyndra which had no chance of succeeding.

In his 3 year run for reelection he has spun many of a fanciful tell, but his latest concerning oil production are almost—if not so serious—laughable. He claims that he is responsible for the increase in oil production, of course not that long ago he was saying that drilling today would take years—longer that three—to have an affect on oil supplies. So the increased oil production today is due to the permits issued by the Bush Administration, one of the few things that he has not blamed on Bush.

Well as he continues to blame the bad on anyone he can while taking credit for anything good, it is plain to anyone looking that he will say anything to keep his power. I just don’t see why he is qualified for reelection. He is not big enough for the job and has not grown in it. If nothing else, it seems that he has become smaller.

A Date of Infamy: This week marks the anniversary of The Death of the Republic when the Democrats in the US Congress ceased control of the heath care industry. Although this was just the first step in a 100 year goal, this action changed the relationship between the American people and the Federal government. This seizure of power has further separated those who are supposed to serve and the electorate.

Although this week marks the second year anniversary of this transgression, little has been heard from those who pushed it through. The only major defense I’ve heard was from former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. She seems to think that the Declaration of Independence somehow granted them the ability to impose this law. But I’ve heard nothing from Mr. Obama, who made ObamaCare the cornerstone of his administration.

For too long the creeping erosion of the Bill of Rights has gone on with little more than a whimper from many Americans. But now the tyrannical acts of the Democrats, Socialist, Progressive Socialist, and Communist who have gained power over the years have awoke many who have been asleep. They know that they must not show any weakness and are working very hard to not only destroy or electoral process—or just the faith in it—but to cement their power base. The 2010 election woke many of the tyrants up and they are now fighting back with every weapon they possess.

Even if the Supreme Court overturns the mandate, there is no certainty that they will overturn the either law. It may be even harder to repeal it. Even if it is repealed there are thousands of pages of regulations that have been written by the DHSS. These extra-constitutional regulations may make enough changes to the existing system that they will just become standard policy.

So what do we do? We don’t give in or give up. There is going to have to be a much needed house cleaning at the Federal government level. Many of those whose jobs depend on the enforcement of this unethical and unconstitutional government mandate must renounce it or find another career outside of government. We must remember this day of infamy and never again let a political movement obtain such a strangle hold on our day to day lives. Our lives and freedoms hang on the decisions we make today to bring our nation back to the freedoms once enjoyed.
