MESSAGE TO BOEHNER: DON'T GIVE AN INCH

SPECIAL POST

To Mitch McConnell and John Boehner:

When you meet with Obama tomorrow, do not sell out.  We HAVE to stop this damned spending and we HAVE to start someplace.  

WE'VE done all of the compromise in the past.  It's time for THEM to step up to the plate.  No more taxes; cut spending. 

One final point: Do NOT kick the can down the road again. WE AMERICANS have had enough. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

HOW TO REALLY CUT OUR NATIONAL BUDGET

SPECIAL POST

Every single one of us has to be arriving at the same conclusion: Our government has become just too damned big for its britches. 

One of the oldest political tricks in the world is to:

• find something that needs fixing
• create a law to address it
• create an agency to administer the law
• hire a bunch of friends to run the agency
• collect the political i.o.u.’s results at election time

We have more useless agencies in this country than we can shake a stick at.  Surely the country is more populous, but it would seem to me we could address that with a few more employees in existing agencies, not a whole slew of new agencies.  Certainly we can see that with Congress meeting year around, it doesn’t have enough to do and therefore spends its time creating useless and intrusive laws; likewise, the result of too many agencies with not enough work to do is too many regulations. 

  

What we really need to do is to:

• put Congress on a six-month schedule
• slash the number of agencies to 2000 levels
• absorb the employees into the remaining agencies
• freeze hiring and let attrition reduce the number of employees to reasonable levels
• eliminate all government regulations enacted over the last 20 years, with the stipulation that they can only be reestablished if Congress agrees on a case-by-case basis

In so doing, we will kill many birds with one stone and will cut the expense of our government immensely, thereby reducing or eliminating our deficit and putting us on track to reduce our debt, while freeing up money in the private sector to fuel the economy.

MICHELLE OBAMA IN 2016?

SPECIAL POST

The Clintons probably thought they would be the first to pull it off as a husband and wife team of Presidents in the White House.  Indeed, Hillary came very close to the trophy in 2008 and now seems to be the likely choice for the Democrats in 2016. 

That prospect begs the question: Why not Michelle?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

THE REAL RESULTS OF SEQUESTER

SPECIAL POST

Sequestering was Obama’s idea.  He suggested it to the Democratic Senate, they went for it; the Senate and the White House twisted the Republican House into agreeing to it; it passed the Senate with flying colors, squeaked by the House and Obama signed it into law.  Now, he’s running around like Chicken Little, exclaiming that the world will end if Sequestering kicks in and it will be the Republican’s fault. 

Well, let’s just set aside the fact that, even if Sequestering kicks in, spending is going to go up this year over last year.  Just based on that alone, how can all of these dire forecasts possibly come true?  Obviously, Obama has taken further leave of his senses, but using the President’s own distorted reasoning, I have put together a list of the REAL results of Sequestering:

1. ObamaCare
2. Fast and Furious
3. Benghazi
4. Solyndra
5. NASAgate
6. Hanford Nuclear Leaks
7. TARP
8. Geithner
9. Guantanamo Prisoner Moves
10. Statistical Lies Regarding ARA
11. $787 Billion Stimulus & “Shovel Ready” projects
12. Abuse of Executive Powers
13. Legal Decisions Against NLRB Appointments
14. Secret Service Scandal
15. GSA Scandal
16. USDA Scandal
17. Obama Jobs Program
18. Van Jones
19. Deepwater Horizon – Gulf Oil Cleanup
20. Salahi Scandal
21. Wikileaks
22. Arizona Immigration Debacle
23. Contraception Mandate
24. Libyan War Powers
25. Keystone Pipeline

 Well, if HE can get away with a laundry-list of poopoo, why can’t we?

HOW TO FIGHT GUN CONTROL

What can you do as an American citizen to exercise and protect your gun rights, and to support legislators and law enforcement officers who share your views? 

1.      Write the top officer of the agency who issued your concealed weapons permit; thank him/her and voice your support for them. 

2.      Email all of your state legislators and Congressional delegation and let them know where you stand; ask them to support your views, even if you know they won’t.

3.      If you are not a member, join the NRA right now; you don’t have to own a gun to join.  You can get in for $35 and that’ll get you a magazine and window/bumper stickers, as well as discounts on a whole ton of shooting gear.  Growing NRA numbers will help send the message. 

4.      If someone challenges your guns or your views, stand up to the challenge and tell them where to go and what to do with themselves when they get there.

5.      Be just as loud and insistent in your views as the anti-gun establishment is. 

6.      Take note of every elected official who supports gun control and be prepared to vote against them in the next election. 

7.      Quit buying products from companies or news outlets that don’t support your views. 

8.      Learn how to shoot your weapons and take self-defense training. 

9.      Do not allow any… any… infringement of your full and complete 2^nd Amendment rights.

10.  If you see someone else abusing the right to carry a gun, such as shooting at signs or brandishing their gun in threatening manners, turn them in.  We can help to police our own ranks. 

11.  Make absolutely certain your guns are not available to any child, teen or thief when you’re not around. 

12.  Join a local gun club.

13.  Attend any local hearings or meetings where gun control is the subject.

14.  Stand ready to fight this to the bitter end.  Never waiver, never give an inch.  If these people win, they’ll want your freedoms of religion and speech next.

OBAMA'S BLUFF: LET'S CALL IT

SPECIAL POST

The Omnipotent One keeps on with his endless harangues to the effect that, unless the Republicans do as he commands and agree to more taxes and higher spending, he is willing to let "Sequester" kick in and punish all of us by stopping meat inspections, letting criminals loose, firing police, closing down the FBI... the threats are ominous and never-ending.  

Well, since he invented the sequester idea and signed it into law, I think we would be fools if we don't call his bluff.  If the Republicans cave in on this, they might as well kiss their sorry asses goodbye.  It's about time someone in the country grew a little spine.

WHERE IN THE HELL IS OUR SPINE?

SPECIAL POST

Have we lost our minds?  Can’t we see things for what they really are in this country anymore?  Are we willing to follow blindly, without question?  Are we a nation of sheep?

Is the real problem with violent deaths in our country guns?  Is the answer to immigration really to reward those who get here illegally?  Is a double-barreled 12-gauge shotgun really better defense than a semi-automatic Glock 23 pistol or a .306 rifle?  If you raise taxes, will that cure the economy?  If you keep on talking to Iran, will that stop their nuclear ambitions? 

If the President ordered the National Guard to come and confiscate your guns, would you meekly hand them over or would you stand up for your Constitutional rights?  If anarchy broke out and the President declared martial law, took over the country and declared the Constitution void and of no effect, would you shut up and obey, or would you fight? 

Wouldn’t you really rather stand up right now and use your political clout as a citizen and owner of this government to prevent the possibility of a horrible, disastrous showdown?  Are you really comfortable doing nothing? 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
