NY 23: 5% Stupid

The Republicans had more votes in NY District 23 in last night's election; unfortunately, their vote was split between 2 candidates allowing the Democrat to win.  5% of the vote was still cast for  Scazzafava, which proves 5% of the voters there are really stupid.
 
Why vote for a candidate that can't win; a candidate who withdrew from the election?  Way to throw away your vote and elect the Democrat.  And if that's what you wanted, why didn't you just vote for the Democrat directly?  Stupid is what 5% stupid voted in NY 23 last night.

America, Your Government is Working AGAINST You

Just look at the 2,000 page Health Care horror story the House just put on the table.
(The table collapsed under the weight, by the way.)  The wrote it in secret, without
Republicans and without letting the American people see what they were up to.  Sounds
like Nazi Germany or the USSR to me.
 
Now Comrade Pelosi wants them to vote on it in 2 weeks.  There is no way anyone can
read and comprehend a 2,000 page bill in 2 weeks, especially the dimwits in our Congress.
Anyone who votes for this debacle must be voted out of office on principle alone.
 
Get a life America. Vote these BUMS out of office.

C'mon New Jersey

I used to live in NJ, so I have some empathy for you.
You have a Governor who has ruined your state's economy, and
the polls say you just might re-elect him!  Are you kidding? Think
how bad it will get with Corzine in office for another term.  Wise up,
vote him out of office.  And don't waste your vote on the independent,
Daggett.  He can't win.  If you vote for him, you're voting for Corzine
whether you like it or not.

America, Your Government Thinks You're Stupid, Too

I see the Dems have proposed that states could "opt out" of a public option in State Run Health Care.  Of course, it's a non-option as the states (ie, the residents of the state via taxes) will still have to pay for the plan.  So, why would any state opt out if they still had to pay? They wouldn't.  But the Dems don't think you are smart enough to figure that out. 
 
They also (ala Madam Pelosi) want to change its name, because the American citizens are too stupid to realize it's still a stinking fish whether it's wrapped in newspaper or birthday gift wrap.
 
Wake up America!  You have elected Bozo the clown and the circus to take over your government.  I think it was P.T. Barnum that said, "There's a fool born every minute."  Time to shut the circus down and run the clowns out of town.  You've been fooled once; shame on you. Don't be fooled again.  Vote the bums out.

America, Your Government Hates You

Wake up Americans!  While you weren't paying attention and voted for style over substance and rhetoric over accomplishments, you have elected a President and Congress that despises you.  They vote for bills that aren't written.  Even when bills are written they don't read them, and when criticized for not reading the bills they hire a speedreader to show their contempt of you.  How dare you expect them to do their job!
 
While there are flaws in our current healthcare system, the vast majority of Americans know that we have the best healthcare in the world and they like it.  Your government doesn't care.  They know better than you; you're too dumb to run your own life.  You need to let these
academics who have never done anything useful in their life, tell you what is good for you.
 
I suggest everyone take note of the shenanigans of our government and vote them out of office as soon as you can.  Vote for candidates who love this country, who listen to their constituents and who will not bankrupt us in their rush to socialism/communism/fascism.  Elect folks who understand, respect and love our Constitution.  Tell these bums to get a real job, learn what an honest day's work is, and understand that it is your money - not theirs!

An Independent That Can Win

My last post was about voting Republican as votng for third party candidates usually meant "throwing your vote away."
However, I did state that I would support and vote for a good, conservative third party candidate if they had a reasonable chance to win.
Such in the case in NY's 23rd district.  Doug Hoffman is running against 2 liberals (one allegedly a Republican) and the latest two polls
show him ahead. 
 
Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota, supports Hoffman and said “We cannot send more politicians to Washington who wear the Republican jersey on the campaign trail, but then vote like Democrats in Congress on issues like card check and taxes,”  I totally agree
with him.
 
The voters in NY 23 need to throw the Democratic and Republican candidates aside next Tuesday and vote for the independent, conservative Hoffman.

Vote Republican; Vote Early, Vote Often

I'm originally from Chicago. Yeah, Obama's city (sorry, Mayor Daley).
But I was there long before him, and I was born there.  Only God and
Obama knows where he was born.
 
Anyway, The "Vote Early, Vote Often" is a Chicago saying.  It's how
the Democrats in Chicago practice "Democracy."  I use it as humor, not
as a legitimate suggestion.  Although, "they" say "fight fire with fire." Hmmmmm.
 
Now, I am not a registered Republican.  I am and always have been an Independent.
I have never contributed to any political party or to any candidate; doubt I ever will.
However, it has become clear to me over the years that  the Democratic Party has become
nothing but a bunch of truth-challenged, liberal/progressive/socialist/communist/fascist
American-hating criminals, hell bent on destroying this country.
 
The Republicans certainly have their problems, but the majority are America loving Patriots.
I would hate to have to vote for many of them.  I voted for McCain, but closed my eyes and
ran home and took a shower.  If nothing else, he wasn't a Democrat.  I liked some things Bush Jr.
did and hated others (ie, trying to grant amnesty to illegal aliens), but his best quality was that
he wasn't a Democrat.  No doubt in my mind he was far better than Gore or Kerry (I shudder at
the thought).
 
So, why not vote for an independent, or a Libertarian, or write in someone else, you may ask?
Because that would be wasting my vote.  Elections have consequences (dire ones as we see now)
and we must make sure that the "best" candidate (or the "least bad" candidate) wins.
 
There are elections coming up next month.  Hopefully, the GOP will win the governorships in
Virginia and New Jersey.  Only God knows why anyone would want to be the Governor of
New Jersey, but I digress.  (Hey, I've lived there; I know.)  That will build on the recent Republican
wins in congressional races for vacated seats.
 
In a year there will be a bigger election, with all Representatives and a third of the Senators up for
re-election.  All must vote for Republicans and take back the House and reduce the Democratic
majority in the Senate.  Then in 2012 we can get rid of the "Great Pretender" in the White House
and take back control of the Senate.
 
I'm all for voting for a good 3rd party or independent candidate that has a "real" chance at winning.
But I want to save the country and the only way to do that is to vote Republican.

A New Declaration of Indepencence

 

IN AMERICA, JULY 4, 2009

The unanimous Declaration of the fifty united States of America

When in the course of American events it becomes necessary for the people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them and to re-assume the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience have shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these States and their citizens; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present Supreme Court, Congress and President of the United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States and their citizens. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

They have made a mockery of our legislative process by passing bills in the dead of night with no time to read, review or debate the bill.

The have mocked the citizenry who have complained by hiring speed readers to read bills so they can claim they have been read.

They have destroyed the inalienable Right of Life by legalizing abortion.

They are destroying the right to own private property by allowing the government to take private property for reasons beyond the constitutional “public use.”

The now control 90% of the media and intend to take control of the rest.

They have refused Assent to Laws such as the rights of corporate bond holders.

They have corrupted our voting by allowing criminals to falsely register voters, vote more than once and in states in which they do not reside, miscount votes, allow illegal aliens to vote and allow voter intimidation without prosecution.

They have illegally fired public servants who have made their corruption public.

They continually lie and tear down American institutions with premature or false assertions such as “The war is lost” and ‘The CIA lied.”

They have corrupted the census by allowing a criminal organization to run it.

They have illegally taken over private corporations.

They have erected a multitude of New Czars, and sent them to harass our people.

They have spent us into unrecoverable debt that has the nation on the precipice of bankruptcy.

They refuse to protect the citizens by controlling our borders to prevent criminals and illegal aliens from crossing into our beloved country.

They are intent on allowing criminals who have entered this country illegally to become citizens in order to garner their votes and further cement their authority.

They are intent in eliminating our national sovereignty and putting us under the control of a world government.

They fail to support democracy in Iran and protest the Honduran democracy saving itself.

They are intent on destroying the family by legalizing same sex marriage allowing children to have abortion without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

They are intent on destroying free speech as it exposes their lies and schemes.

They are intent on eliminating our right to bear arms as it prohibits them from forcibly taking over the country and destroying our Republic.

They are intent on passing new environmental laws based on false science while suppressing the truth.

They are intent on taking over national healthcare so they can have total control over our lives.

They are intent on government takeover of the private sector and destroying the entrepreneurial spirit that has made this the greatest country on Earth.

They exempt themselves from the laws they oppress the citizenry with.

They are attempting to remove God and Religion from our lives and claim that we are no longer a Judeo-Christian nation.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. The Supreme Court, Congress and the President, whose characters are thus marked by every act which may define Tyrants, are unfit to be the leaders of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Government. We have warned them repeatedly of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of their folly. We have appealed to their intelligence and integrity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections. They have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, accountable for their excesses.

We, therefore, the People of the united fifty States of America, in unanimity, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these States, solemnly publish and declare, That these united fifty States are, and of Right ought to be Free from the current Federal Government, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the current Federal Government, and that all political connection between them and the current Federal Government, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do including the formation of a new Federal Government. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to legally take back our Country and Government.

Universal Medicare

The federal government already runs one national health care system for those over the age of 65; it's called Medicare.
Medicare is underfunded and is growing broke.  The only way to fix this is to raise everyone's taxes.  Medicare pays poorly.
As a result many doctors and medical facilities will not treat Medicare patients.  Medicare's coverage is not very good either.
Seniors must have a second, private insurance policy to cover what Medicare doesn't pay for or they risk going broke from
medical expenses.
 
Nationalizing our healthcare system is nothing more than government creating a Medicare program for everyone -- Universal Medicare.
So, why does anyone want national healthcare.  It won't be any better than Medicare.  If it is, why doesn't the government fix Medicare
first and show us how wonderful a government run healthcare system can be?  It will definitely be worse than Medicare.  It will cost us all
more in taxes and it will go broke faster.

The Myth of Man Mad Global Warming

Q: How much carbon dioxide is the atmosphere?
A: Less than 0.04%.  It could increase by 25 time and still be less than 1%.
 
Q: How much carbon dioxide is in the air you exhale with every breath?
A: Between 4 and 5%.  So, with every breath you are "polluting" the atmosphere with more than 100 times the amount
     of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
 
As my mathematics books used to say, it should be "intuitively obvious" that man made global warming is ridiculous.

Obama and Taxes, Part II

Even if I have to say so myself, I hit the nail on the head with my previous "Obama and Taxes" post last week.
Today Obama lowered his tax threshold from those making less than $250,000 to those making less than $200,000.
Ah, then Biden trumped him and stated no new taxes for those making less than $150,000.  And now today, Governor Richardson of New Mexico (a Democrat supporter of Obama) said less than $120,000.   Where does it stop? It stops with EVERYBODY paying more taxes.  You won't be able to say I didn't warn you.

Obama on Taxes

Barak Hussein Obama keeps repeating he won't raise taxes on those making less than $250,000/yr.  Really?  He will let the Bush tax
cuts expire.  Now I know the Democrats keep saying the tax cuts only helped the rich, but, as usual, they lie.  As an example, the Bush tax cuts reduced the tax rate from 15% to 10% on the first $10,000 of taxable income.  Let me see, I think that applies to EVERYONE with
any taxable income.  I could go on, but this is enough to prove that Obama is not telling the truth (and that's putting it mildly).
