What the %#$K

I just saw this picture. Can someone please tell me what the *&#$ is going on here. Is the kind of president America needs? I don't mean a gay one. I mean one that has no principles that he will not bend or break for anyone. America needs a president that will not kowtow to anyone. It is my view that this is without a doubt totally unacceptable behavior from any world leader.

If you have a different point of view let me know.

Racism in the CBC

So we have heard some questionable comments from members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) before, but this time they pretty much call themselves racists outright. It has been know by many that some black politicians display racist tendencies. They often ask others no matter their race to help blacks. However, they rarely ask their black colleagues to help anyone other than blacks. As a matter of fact, one might say they are black-centric. Further, one might also say that black politicians get away with saying some outrageous things about their white counterparts.

Now, even the blacks themselves have noticed and began to speak out against it. In the most glaring example we see blacks protecting the president from themselves and his political opponents.

Here is an article that explains it very well:

It has quotes from Maxine Waters, Frederica Wilson, Emanuel Cleaver, and Andre Carson.

Constitution Day

Happy Constitution Day!

 I just wanted to quickly this all important date in the history of this great country. Let’s not forget what makes this country so great: The Constitution.  This document is one of the most well written and powerful documents ever. I am proud to be an American and to be under the protection of a set of laws and beliefs that has never been equaled. With the drafting of this document the founding fathers gave birth to the greatest nation that ever graced the face of the Earth. We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

Happy Constitution Day!

How About Some Honor?

We have elected people to represent us as a group because we cannot in an effective manner represent ourselves individually. We chose those who basically pass an interview-like process when they campaign. We collectively ask them questions which are important to us. Our elected officials answer them as well as they can. And when they are elected they seem to lose their memory and forget how they answered our questions. Once they are elected they lose their honor.

Honor, it seems, has been lost to history or has been relegated to movies and books. I know my voice is small and the reach of this blog is even smaller, but I implore our politicians to find their honor. The leaders we have chosen are beginning to look like the politicians of third world countries. They are now at the rhetorical level equivalent to that of shoe throwing anti-American Muslim ideologues.

There are plenty of examples of this all over the internet. There are numerous democrats quoted as saying some very incendiary things. They accuse the Republican Party and more specifically the Tea Party movement of being racist and of wanting to see black people as second class citizens. This is not only false, but utterly inflammatory.

In closing, I just want to say that we can all do our part to regain our collective honor. If there is a dishonorable person that is up for re-election we should not vote for him or her and send everyone a message that such behavior will not be tolerated.

Obama’s Failures

1. “Stimulus”: after nearly a trillion dollars wasted on bailouts the economy is still floundering like a fish out of water.

2. Promises: as we all know he has yet to make good on any of his campaign promises.  (I don’t mind this because I am against most of his policies)

3. Leadership: on every issue that has faced us since he took office he has failed to lead or even show a willingness to take a leadership role.

4. Duties: it seems like every time you look for the president you have to look in a golf course or at a vacation spot for the rich and famous.

5. Responsibility: he has yet to take any responsibility for anything. He has blamed everything and everyone including members of his own party.

6. Credibility: he can’t be believed because every time he says something it goes against what Americans are experiencing. He says that his administration is creating jobs yet the unemployment rate keeps climbing.

7. Diplomacy: he gets two big thumbs down for betraying Israel and befriending Hezbollah.

8. Hope: He ran on a promise of hope and change and all he brought was despair and tired old politics.

9. Inspiration: The President of The United States of America is, and traditionally has, inspired a nation to greatness. The only thing this president has inspired is the demanding from the whimpering entitlement-minded leftists that would love to see this great country fall into the death grip of communism.

10.  Pursuit of Happiness: The Declaration of Independence grants us the right to the pursuit of happiness, but thanks to the president and the democrats in government that right has been whittled away to such an extent that happiness seems too far off for most us to achieve.

I Do Not Like This Uncle Sam

I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like his health care scam.
I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books.
I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like ex-speaker Nan, I do not like this 'YES WE CAN.'
I do not like this spending spree, I'm smart, I know that nothing's free.
I do not like their smug replies, when I complain about their lies.
I do not like this kind of hope. I do not like it. nope, nope, nope.

I looked for the source so that I may credit the person responsible, but I was unable to find it.

I thought it was pretty cool.

And Then There Were…

On the morning after the Iowa Straw Poll Tim Pawlenty has bowed out of the presidential race. The candidate for the presidency finished in third place in the poll behind Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul.

In a field of ten candidates plus a place for “other” candidates the results were as follows:

Michele Bachmann             28.65%    4823 votes

Ron Paul                              27.74%    4671 votes

Tim Pawlenty                      13.62%     2293 votes

Rick Santorum                     9.84%      1657 votes

Herman Cain                       8.65%      1456 votes

Rick Perry                            4.26%      567 votes

Mitt Romney                         3.37%      567 votes

Newt Gingrich                      2.29%      385 votes

Other                                    0.96%      162 votes

Jon Huntsman                     0.41%      69 votes

Thad McCotter                    0.21%      35 votes

With Tim Pawlenty out of the race, that leaves nine named candidates from this poll. There are quite a few others that have thrown their hats into the ring, but they aren’t worth considering. They are the fringe element and maybe just seeking publicity and a story they may one day tell their grandchildren.

Out of the nine remaining, three others should stop wasting their time, money and resources: Thad McCotter, Jon Huntsman, and Newt Gingrich.  The first two couldn’t even get a half of a percent of the voters to cast their votes for them. The third is the interesting one. Newt Gingrich has experience to spare. However, he came off as just a grumpy old man in the debate leading up to the poll. He seemed to be angry to be there, angry to have to answer questions and miffed with his competition. And let’s not forget that his campaign has been a train wreck with his staffers quitting en mass then another mass exodus of his fund raising team. With these three and Tim Pawlenty out of the race we will start to get a clearer picture of what is in store for us.

One thing of note here is the fact that Rick Perry had not yet declared himself a candidate and still placed sixth in front of Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. In a less than gentlemanly way Rick Perry announced his candidacy on the same day that Michele Bachmann was pronounced the winner of the Iowa Straw Poll. He should have been gracious and let Michele Bachmann have her day.

Bachmann – Rubio in 2012?

It is going to be a wild ride for the next few months.
