Girly Men

Reagan believed less government and tax cuts would spur the economy. Beginning in 1981, the biggest recovery in United States history happened. So big, it has come to be know as "The Seven Fat Years". It was a time when tax cuts were enacted by a majority controlled house and senate, the Federal Reserve agreed to keep interest rates down & Tip O'Neill promised to cut spending. Of course O'Neill, being a Democrat, lied to the Americans and didn't keep his word. It didn't matter, the amount the Treasury took in doubled in that time. We saw an unprecedented recovery and abundance that hasn't been seen since 1929. Of course, George the First became elected and ran as fast as he could away from Reagan's principles and... well, you know the rest of the story.
Fast forward to today. Another recession. And... who is at the helm? Ole B.O. Take a look at the spending proposals. Most are for welfare programs resembling the old WPA under the Roosevelt Administration. It didn't work then either. If it was not for WW ll, we'd still be in it! Make work jobs lowered the unemployment rate from the low twenty's to the middle teens by 1937 but was heading back up because employment was temporary.
So, here we are again at the precipice and what does Ole' B.O. do? Big government all over again. And you want to know the scariest part? The lemmings in the country want it! No conservative leadership! Feminine Republicans! My party is the party of girly men!
We, conservatives, hunger for someone to take charge and dump the liberals, lemmings & girly men. I'm so sick of the wimps in this country. Stand up and act like conservatives!!

Change

Change was the buzzword bandied about by ole'b.o. before the election. "We Need Change".

So what does change look like so far? Hmmmmm Hillary as Secretary of State... I don't really have to go into this one do I? Health and Human Services Secretary: Former Senate Majority Leader Tom "Puff" Daschle: The irony here is so thick you can taste it. Daschle fights like a pit bull every year to prevent tax cuts for working-class folks, like South Dakota farmers, who could save a few thousand dollars on their taxes thanks to the Bush tax cut. But there's no limit to the steps he will take to avoid paying taxes himself. Daschle was telling the truth when he claimed he was for tax relief: Tax relief for the Daschle family, that is. Attorney General: Eric Holder, former deputy attorney general. Let's not forget Holder's role in Clinton's pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich eight years ago. Gov. Janet Napolitano, D-Ariz: she was the attorney for Anita Hill during the confirmation hearings for Justice Thomas. She has presided over a budget deficit in Arizona that is currently the second highest in the nation. She has presided over a state educational system that according to several surveys that is dead last in K-12 Education. Most importantly, she is the Gov. of a state in which illegal alien incursions into the US since her election have increased over 210% according to the DEA. Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M. Spending has risen dramatically during his time in office, an average of nearly 7 percent per year. This trend to spend shows no sign of slowing since the just-passed fiscal-year 2007 budget will grow by more than 8 percent.

I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. I can't wait for the next 4 years of change....

We Deserve it Dividend

I just had to share this with you. Liberals won't understand:

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a "We Deserve It Dividend."

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide adults in the U.S.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
"We Deserve It Dividend."

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket!
A husband and wife has $595,000.00!

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage? – housing crisis solved!
Repay college loans? – what a great boost to new grads!
Put away money for college? – it'll be there!
Save in a bank? – create money to loan to entrepreneurs!
Buy a new car? – create jobs!
Invest in the market? – capital drives growth!
Pay for your medical insurance? – health care improves!
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean?

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out
a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG – liquidate it!
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

But can you imagine? ...How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
"We Deserve It Dividend" more than I do the geniuses at
AIG or in Washington DC.

And remember, This plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned
instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam!

It Does Get Better

When the economy takes a downturn the first thoughts are "Gee, it may not come back". Don't worry, it always comes back. This is my third one and it isn't scary at all anymore. The only deterrent to getting the economy better is Ole B.O. Instead of this lasting 2 to 2 1/2 years it will last at least 3 1/2. Remember, this one is a tax and spender. He is going to expand the economy by public works; repairing highways etc, instead of the way it really works; less government spending and lower taxes. By the way, where are all of these roads that need repair? In one of my last columns I asked where Ole B.O. will get the money. C'mon, you know it is through taxes.

What is incredulous to me is how the lemmings cannot figure out how capitalism works. People work for money. The money is used to buy goods and services. Well, that puts allot of other people to work building our stuff and supplying us with things. When the government takes our money nothing is produced. 85% of tax receipts goes to social programs. We have less to spend. We can't buy as much. Jobs decrease. So lemmings, when Ole B.O. starts his FDR program people will get paid with our tax money. Unfortunately, our government will have to borrow money to pay them because there will not be enough tax money to cover it. Works great up until the money has to be paid back. How does it get paid back? You guessed it... Tax money.
Wake up lemmings! You put a Tax and Spend Liberal in office.

No More Liberals Needed!

"Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom."
F. A. Hayak

I've been doing allot of thinking and reading over the Thanksgiving Holiday. I'm stuck by the adulation of a messiah. People hanging on every word. As we spiral headlong from socialism to collectivism I can 't help wondering if we have a chance to stop the train. I'm watching as we head as far away from freedom and liberty espoused by Ronald Reagan in the 80's. It took 25 years to get here. How did we get from the best president this century to Ole B. O.? Most of the blame goes to my republican party. We want to be nice to liberals and get along. We're afraid of what the electorate will think and say about us if for some reason, we decide to lead again instead of trying to get along. I don't want to get along with liberals... I want to defeat them! Their ideas have been tried over & over & over and have NEVER worked!

Liberalism is dangerous. Liberalism led to the propagation of Hitler's Germany. All the way up until 1940, Neville Chamberlain and his cabinet still clung to the belief that if he talked to Hitler just one more time he could persuade him to cease his devouring of Europe. Of course, Churchill's warnings were finally headed and the UK declared war on Germany to save and preserve their way of life.

I don't consider Ole B. O. Hitler. Be serious. I do, however, believe the situation is strikingly similar. Liberals are out of control. Their lies and misdirection are being perpetuated by the lemmings in the media. Those of us who are still true conservatives feel like Winston Churchill. We keep sounding the warnings but the lemmings can't or won't listen. The biggest threat to freedom and liberty is the lemming's voluntary forfeiture of their personal responsibility to Ole B. O. for security


My friends, we need to keep sounding the charge. No giving in to the lemmings or Ole B.O. and his merry band of liberals. I am NOT voluntarily giving up any of my personal responsibility.

Public Works Heaven

What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it his heaven.
F Hoelderlin.


So, we have our answer to the problems of our economy. Public works heaven. Hello FDR. The New Deal all over again. From Business Week Online come the details: "President-elect Barack Obama on Saturday outlined his plan to create 2.5 million jobs in coming years to rebuild roads and bridges and modernize schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars." My question to all of you LL's is where is he going to get the money? I'll leave you with this thought for a bit. Think about it LL's

Let em' do it

I'm so happy Ole B.O. (Barrack Obama) won the election! Conservatives have been beating their heads against the wall to stop him from getting into office. I say 'get out of the way and let em' do it'

Two generations have passed since Ronald Reagan was in office. We've forgotten how good we really had it. I really miss him. Really.. no kidding! He is the best president we've had this century. Yea, I know some of you are pounding your computers saying "NO, FDR WAS THE GREATEST! No, FDR rebuilt our country with borrowed money that has NEVER been paid back. Reagan did it by giving our tax money back. He breathed new life into our "Stagflation" country .Reagan spawned a tremendous fiscal revolution the carried Bush 1 into office and helped slick Willy hold the country together for two terms.

I assume you all know the Dow took a another 411 point drop today. Our country is spiraling into a depression. Companies are going out of business at record rates. About 20% of American mortgage borrowers are upside-down, meaning they owe more than their homes are now valued. Unemployment is at 6.5% a fourteen year high!

Like FDR, Ole' B. O. s new jobs plan is the usual tax and spend. I alluded to it in my last column. He wants to save the country. The irony is we're asking the same party who put us in this situation to fix it. That's the same as making a alcoholic a bartender!
Our new bartender Ole' B.O., the power alcoholic, will be serving us potions to keep us drunk. Drunk and blissful for the next four years! LL's are dancing in the streets! Wait till the honeymoon is over and Ole' B.O. has to govern. I give him till July for his ratings to take a nose dive. The drunks will wake up in a hangover and say "My God, what have we done?"

It makes me ill to compare Ole' B.O. with Ronald Reagan.....
