The Next Big Thing…
First and Foremost – to those who are serving, have served, have bled and have died; our champions, our wounded warriors, our fallen heroes, our veterans - THANK YOU! Nothing that we can do or say can ever repay the debt that we owe you! You walk daily in harm’s way so that we may walk free, you give up your homes and your families so that we can enjoy ours, you sacrifice all so that we can be - we are America and proud to say – Thanks to you all, every single day!
Midterm elections are less than a year away! A few thoughts to keep in mind as this critical time in US history rapidly approaches:
When liberals took control of Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008, we were assured of the following:
- A vibrant economy, with lower taxes for the working class and higher taxes for the wealthy evildoers.
- The most honest, accountable and transparent government in our history.
- Decisions and laws based upon the will of the people.
- A truly bipartisan government with no more politics as usual.
- An end to special interests and lobbyists.
- No more closed-door sessions and backroom deals.
- An end to the Bush era “cowboy” diplomacy.
What we ended up with:
- A nearly collapsed economy, with the dollar devaluated to historic lows, unemployment at historic highs, taxes poised to crush the small business owners who employ nearly 70% of America, thousands of dollars in federal “pass-through” taxes overburdening every working family’s annual budget and no end in sight to our insurmountable federal deficit – the liberal response to this, “we inherited this from the Bush Administration” – even though they have been in total control since 2006.
- Rampant corruption (e.g.: Moran, Jeffers, Buris, Blogovich, Rangel, Richardson, Dachle, Spitzer, Pelosi, Reed, Dodd, Schumer, Murtha, Frank, Jefferson, Holder, Geithner and the list goes on, ad infinitum – it would be easier to list the few Democrats that have not engaged in illegality, corruption and deceit), extraordinary unaccountability and the most secretive government that has ever existed in our history - the liberal response to this, “move along, there is nothing to see here”.
- Bills passed in the dead of night, highly secretive committees convene daily and backdoor deals with lobbyists, industries, unions, and questionable organizations (ACORN, SEIU, Soros, et al.) are made without a single thought to the Constitution or consequences to America and our future generations - the liberal response to this, “the good of all Americans are at the heart of every decision”.
- HA!… partisan politics have achieved DEFCON 4 under this administration and the “no more politics as usual” is a “change” from Washington politics to Chicago style political corruption - the liberal response to this, “we do this for the repressed, the elderly and the children”.
- Special interests and lobbyist are now writing bills for Congress for clandestine passage of legislation, the only “change” that has occurred is that the process is streamlined and unquestioned - the liberal response to this, “we have a mandate and we know what is best for America”.
- The closed doors are now routinely locked, not only to keep out Republicans, but all of America - the liberal response to this, “keep your eyes on this hand”.
- Iran now has nuclear weapons and is in the final stages of perfecting their long-range delivery systems, North Korea is dictating terms and conditions and is threatening war with South Korea and the west if they are not met. Russia and China exploit our weaknesses continuously and encourage world dictators to push our buttons to the point of provocation. And terrorist around the world can smell the blood in the water… where is “cowboy” diplomacy when you need it.
I truly hate to say “I told you so”, but read my blog “Welcome to the New Republic”, which I wrote in November of 2008. Liberals are exceedingly predictable…
Now for the “Next Big Thing”:
Liberals narrowly avoided getting their hands stuck in the proverbial cookie jar after the 2008 Presidential elections. They have (at least on paper) successfully distanced themselves from the voting fraud and illegality perpetrated by ACORN and their proxy organizations. This was a reprehensible offense and even the liberal mindset realizes the catastrophic consequences if their collusion were to be exposed. ALL demographic statistics, polls and societal experts agree that America is a right-centrist country – nearly 34% of Americans are conservative, with a right-centrist “independent” component of nearly 24% comprising nearly 58% of Americans with a “right leaning” proclivity. Left-centrist Americans comprise nearly 31% of the electorate, while the remaining 11% are considered liberals. With nearly 55% of Americans in the middle ground, add to that the conservative Americans and you have a full 89% of the voting populace. With those numbers against them, liberals have realized that they need to cheat to achieve their goals and implement their Marxist agendas. Hence you have ACORN, massive voter fraud, illegal campaign financing, liberal candidates who routinely pose as socially compassionate right-centrists, conservative candidates who are routinely vilified and now the new manifestation: the DemoRAT. This is not a Rhino (Republican in name only) who is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, this is an ultra-liberal who has infiltrated the GOP. We have seen this in the special election in the New York 23rd Congressional District. Divide and conquer – the new liberal mantra. DO NOT be fooled! It has worked once and will be attempted again. Question your candidates as to their true nature and listen carefully – remember “Joe the plumber” exposed Obama’s true nature early in the campaign cycle. In addition, cautiously review third party candidates (understand that I am all for a multiple party system to provide greater choice than an often corrupt Democratic candidate or an unimpressive Republican candidate). Quite often these third party candidates are introduced by the DNC to strip right-leaning votes away from the Republican candidate. As an aside - what ever happened to Ralph Nader during the 2008 Presidential elections, is it just me or did he announce his candidacy, receive threats from Rahm Emanuel and then just fall off the map? Enough ranting for the day – Have a safe day and do something nice for a veteran, they have earned it!
Remember: Vote your conscience! Get rid of the Marxists, the corruption and the greed!
