The patriotic premises of liberals and the lies they tell

Did you know that children who attend American Independence Day celebrations are more likely to vote Republican (gasp!) when they grow up?

Don’t tell the Obama regime, otherwise they might concoct a scheme to ban the celebration altogether.

Oops! Too late: the media arm of the Obama regime has already posted the story.

It’s true. Well, almost… Not really. ABC News admits that even the study’s co-author, David Yanagizawa-Drott of Harvard University can’t match up the thesis with the facts. Not to worry folks; like the Christmas stories that proclaim Jesus wasn’t really born on Dec. 25th or that what he said and did can’t be authenticated, this is just another attempt by the anti-American media to belittle you for waving your American flags and celebrating the moral convictions of those who risked life and livelihoods to declare themselves and others free and independent from the tyranny of King George by signing the Declaration of Independence.

According to the story’s author:

One thing not addressed in the report is that nearly every kid in America attends Fourth of July celebrations, but the Republican Party is a minority party.

Minority party? So what’s the problem? If most kids grow up to be Democrats who cares?

Let’s apply a little Philosophy 101 here… If there are fewer registered Republicans in America then certainly the premise must be that there are more registered Democrats.

US voter registration in 2004.

The 2004 census statistics even bear this out. So, if nearly ever kid in America attends an Independence Day celebration in the United States as declared in the story, simply philosophy would suggest that celebrating Independence Day would make one more likely to be Democrat than Republican, even though ABC News declared the exact opposite?

Halfway through the story ABC News printed this joke: “Calls to Democratic officials were not returned because they had left their offices early to celebrate the Fourth of July.”

Really? How did the author of the story know they were out celebrating Independence Day? Come on now: George Stephanoloulos works for ABC News and is one of the Democrat Party’s biggest apologists around! Isn’t he one of the author’s colleagues? Even if he was reluctant to make up a quote I’m sure he could find someone out there to make up some lies about Republicans and Independence Day.

Of course that isn’t why they printed the paragraph. For Liberals, the time off for patriotic or religious holidays has nothing to do with celebrating the memory of the holiday. You don’t believe for a moment that Liberals actually go out and celebrate Independence Day, Christmas, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving or Easter for the rememberances that they are? That’s not the purpose of a holiday for these folks. The purpose of a national holiday for these people is just another paid vacation on the taxpayer’s dime.

As an aside, I thought that children weren’t affected by the things they watched, did or played? We’re always told that the violent video games kids play are perfectly harmless, that they don’t lead kids to violent tendencies, or that the music they listen to doesn’t encourage them to act out in ways that are counter to the morals of a good and just society.

So what’s the worry Mr. and Ms. Liberal? These kids at the Independence Day ceremonies will likely continue the practice of drinking the kool aid you serve up to their older brothers and sisters in college and continue to vote with the premise that government is good, politicians are the only people in America who have your best interests at heart and that freedom and liberty are the archaic, evil and racist outcomes of a bunch of hooligans who dared to break away from the theocratic and despotic regime of King George.

I am the Infidel (that your Imam warned about)

“Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition” and “Sliding down the slippery slope/put your own neck in the rope” are just two of the great lines from this anthem by a good friend of mine, Joe Dan Gorman.

Political correctness has placed us on a dangerous slippery slope as Islam becomes the religion du jour in America. Already children in public schools are being taught the religious Pillars of Islam and are given assignments to test their sensitivity to the so-called religion of peace. Yet because of the twisted opinions of a few, what people like to trumpet as the “separation of church and state” prohibits teaching the Beatitudes and 10 Commandments in those same schools. Both are religions — Islam and Christianity — yet one is prohibited, even though our nation was founded on it and most of the state constitutions in America directly cite God in their preambles.

Sharia Law is certainly not something that Jesus or his disciples taught, yet it’s something that is coming to America unless We the People in this “one nation under God” get on our knees to pray, then stand up and oppose America’s forced conversion to Islam!

Declaration of Independence: Superbowl XLV Commercial

I was absolutely amazed that something like this was produced for television in America today. I am extremely pleased that it was produced on a day when millions of people around the globe were watching television. I can only hope that this was not censored anywhere it was broadcast.

It’s time for revolutionary change

The problem with politicians is that they’re, well, politicians.

Of H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, which was deemed passed last year by the Democrats and hurriedly signed by the President, Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio is quoted by the Associated Press as saying “”I think it is important for us to lay the groundwork before we begin to repeal this monstrosity.”

That doesn’t sound much different than what  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in the same story.

“I’m ready for some tweaking” on the health care law but would fight its repeal, Reid told the AP.

That’s not what America wants. We don’t want Congress to “tweak” anything, particularly anything as hugely expensive as the health care bill. America can’t afford to shave a dollar or two from something promises to cost in the trillions of dollars.

For Mr. Boehner, the response should be to simply write:  ”H.R. 3962 – the Affordable Health Care for America Act is hereby repealed” and put it for a floor vote on the House of Representatives, as Rush Limbaugh says, “every week and make the Democrats defend it.”

The point is: they can’t. Nobody can. At least not anyone who wants to be truthful and honest with themselves and the American public.

Which gets back to the problem at hand. Politicians can’t do anything simple because it goes against the very core of their beliefs that we the people are simply too stupid and too simple to understand the complex inner workings of the government.

Well, we do understand, and we don’t like it! That’s what the recent election was all about.

America didn’t overwhelmingly wake up one morning and decide that it wanted the Republicans to once again be in power as much as we began to get fed up shortly after Obama was inaugurated and discover the direction he and the Democrats wanted to take this great country was 180 degrees from the direction our fathers and grandfathers fought to prevent. It’s certainly not because we have a love-affair with the Republicans; we simply can’t stomach the socialism that the Democrats and their complicit Republican cohorts are forcing down our throats.

That’s why most of the so-called “Tea Party” candidates won big where they ran for office (except in California, where none of the incumbent legislators lost their reelection bids, but that’s another story!). Those Tea Party candidates who won were successful because of their no-nonsense approach, and that’s what America hopes takes place come January when the new Senators and Representatives are sworn in.

So to Mr. Boehner, who will likely become the next House Speaker, listen up sir: we do not want you to merely tinker around the edges to appease the Democrats or the GOP leaders who aren’t much different from the crop of socialists currently inhabiting and running the House of Representatives and US Senate. We want drastic and significant change, and we want it immediately.

Here’s some suggestions:

• Repeal H.R. 3962 as your very first act.
• Repeal and eliminate the US Tax Code and the IRS. Replace each with a simple flat tax of 10% on all income and all wage earners with no deductions, credits or similar “incentives.”
• Along with this tax reform, eliminate all corporate taxes for two years, then raise them to the 10% level to mirror the income tax. That should provide some incentive for private industry to grow and flourish in America, and once back on its feet, the taxes collected will be enough to pay for a leaner government.
• Eliminate most of the existing government agencies — don’t merely cut their budgets, but ELIMINATE them, including the US Department of Education and the US Environmental Protection Agency.
• For those departments we keep, such as State and Defense, cut their budgets by 25%. Government is too costly and it’s too big. Now is not the time to merely slow the growth of government or to propose a hiring freeze, but to perform major surgery and remove the cancerous growth that is affectionately known as the federal bureaucracy.
• Tell the United Nations it has 30 days to evacuate its New York headquarters and then sell the building space on the open market. Use that money to help pay back the Chinese and others who currently own our debt.
• Aside from the national parks, sell all remaining federal property that is not directly tied to defense. Put that land back on the tax rolls for local governments.

America will not die if we significantly cut government back. On the contrary, America will cease to exist as we once knew it if we don’t stop the insane spending and fiscal shell games that has ballooned our budget to numbers nobody can grasp, much less understand.

If government fails to heed the drastic changes we the people seek of them, on behalf of us and this once-great nation, then the only resolution will be to execute our duty as described by the Declaration of Independence and “alter or to abolish it, and to institute 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.”

We have no other choice.

Congress has duty to declare war on Mexico

Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution gives Congress the authority to declare war. This is certainly in keeping with the preamble, which declares that government was established to provide for the common defense of the United States. This is important to note because Fox News in Phoenix is reporting that Mexico’s ruling authority (a drug cartel) has called for the assassination of one of our elected political leaders, and has gone so far as to offer a reward for this killing.

If this threat were only against the current President of the United States or one of the regime’s minions then something might be done about it, but because it’s merely the duly elected sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, Washington is egregiously unconcerned that America is under armed attack by foreign forces that have already killed American citizens.

This is an utter outrage! When our military was attacked while docked in the port of a territory that wasn’t even an official state of the United States at the time our President at the time wasted no time calling on Congress for a declaration of war against the nation that attacked us. At that point we utilized every tool in our military arsenal to defeat this foreign force, which several years later culminated in the annihilation of two major Japanese cities and the unconditional surrender of their military to ours.

Today, however, we have armed foreign forces regularly crossing our southern border for the express purpose to kill residents of this country, and all Congress can do is argue (I won’t stoop to calling it debate because that would insinuate that they’re actually engaged in coherent discussions with the common goal of America’s common good) about whether to allow more Mexican foreign nationals in to pick fruits and vegetables and perform other jobs in America while nearly one sixth of American citizens are out of work, or whether to grant illegal aliens voting rights commensurate with the rights of American citizens by applying blanket amnesty to those who are already here illegally.

If Congress won’t do its duty then We the People have the duty and the right to remove them (read the Declaration of Independence) and institute a government that will live up to the duty and authority already granted under the Constitution.

Protecting liberty: America’s first defense against government

I’m glad I’m not the only one with such an opinion: The Second Amendment isn’t about hunting, or even protecting ourselves against street thugs, though firearm ownership does afford us those abilities. It’s much larger, and much more important than that.

Any government capable of disarming its citizens is not only capable of, but is also very likely preparing for the day when those in power plan to rule by despotism and inflict all sorts of evil on their subjects. History bears the proof in this from the smallest of insurrections in third-world countries to the larger and more historically notable regimes ruled by dictators who’s names are widely published in history books.

There are countless examples of such thoughts not only running through the mind of President Barack Hussein Obama. Given his public statements and rhetoric that we currently have at hand, it’s not a stretch to believe that reports are true of his wishes to amass his own police force and establish martial law sometime within his first term. Stories in the Washington Times and even in the European Union’s online newspaper The European Union Times bear witness to such reports.

I came across a YouTube video taken from what appears to be a US Senate committee or subcommittee meeting (Sen. Chuck Schumer is visible in this hearing) from the mid 1990’s. The gist of the video is of Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp sharing a personal story with some Senators about a gunman who killed her parents and a host of others in a massacre in Killeen, Texas in October 1991. One would guess that the discussion before this committee of the self-important was over the assault weapon’s ban.

The most poignant comment made in this video clip, as Sen. Schumer sat with his head in his hand, staring smugly at Dr. Hupp, was when she told the senators that “the Second Amendment is not about duck hunting… but it’s about our rights, all of our rights to be able to protect ourselves from all of you guys up there.”

Wow! Someone with the guts to say that to a bunch of self-righteous senators should be held up to high esteem and lauded for openly speaking such truth. I’d vote for her for President of the United States based on that belief and statement alone!

Consider the man who was President about the time Dr. Hupp made this statement to the senate committee. In 1994 President Bill Clinton said this on MTV:

“When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly. …However, now there’s a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there’s too much freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it.” (http://www.featherlessbiped.com/)

The Second Amendment is truly the linchpin to our inalienable right to self-government and our ability to, in the extreme, force a tyrannical government aside and start afresh. The Declaration of Independence bears this thought out in the second paragraph. To place some context to the phrase, I’ll include the sentences leading up to this point:

“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 abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

Did you catch that? “…that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government…” (emphasis added).

The Second Amendment is our trump card, so to speak, against government’s desire and ability to grow larger and assume powers not afforded them under the Constitution. Contrary to the opinion of President Barack Hussein Obama the Constitution constrains government; it does not constrain the governed.

Above all others, the Second Amendment holds in itself the ability to enforce the rest of the Constitution — but only if those willing participants stand up and assume the awesome responsibility that comes with liberty and freedom to challenge those who would oppose those rights through tyranny and oppression.

Amazing how little things really changed since 1948

“Citizen: What is your name?”

A short video created by a friend of mine, Joe Dan Gorman. A clever use of the lies, distortions and thoughts of our elected officials to illustrate why every one of them is unfit for office and must be removed.

American Newspapers apparently okay with shredding of the US Constitution

It took all of a day after the party to celebrate the shredding of the US Constitution — otherwise known as the signing of the Affordable Health Care for America Act — for the local newspaper to try to eviscerate our local congressman for his opposition to the recent health care bill in Congress.

This doesn’t come as a surprise that an American newspaper would say something negative about a Conservative Republican congressman. And sadly, it’s no surprise to those of us who do follow the Visalia Times Delta and Tulare Advance Register here in Central California that their editorial board is as naïve as they are. In fact it’s actually pretty comical to watch them try to be relevant when they have proven themselves irrelevant time and time again.

In the grand scheme of things, the Central Valley of California has benefitted over the past year or so in an ironic sort of way with respect to water and politics. Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh have highlighted the water issues impacting California’s Central Valley, and our own Congressman here in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., has been eager to give voice to a region of the United States that is disappointingly ignored in both the state and US capitol buildings.

Last week during the debate leading up to the vote on the health care bill, and in the days since it was approved and signed, Rep. Nunes made numerous appearances on local and national television and radio. This apparently caught the eye of the editorial writers at the Visalia Times Delta, who lambasted Nunes in the March 24^th edition for using “some of the most extreme language of any Republican in trying to block passage of the Affordable Health Care for America Act.”

In a telephone conversation I had later the same day with Nunes’ chief of staff, Johnny Amaral, we laughed over how naïve and infantile the editorial board writers appear to be. Of considerable note to Amaral was how the editorial contrasted Nunes to Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. While it was no surprise that Nunes would vote against the Affordable Health Care for America Act (the title itself would be laughable if it wasn’t so offensive to the intelligence to the millions of Americans who openly opposed the bill), to be placed in the same sentence with Stupak, who stood firmly on principle until someone showed him the money, is hilarious in its naïveté. As Amaral put it, “Stupak is the laughingstock of Washington DC right now.”

The VTD’s point throughout the editorial appeared to be Nunes’ firm opinion on the bill — not just that he voted against it, but that he couldn’t be swayed to vote in favor of it. This seems to be consistent with past editorials that have chided Nunes for being too partisan in his opinions on various matters. But, as Amaral noted in our phone conversation, Nunes wasn’t the only one voting no on the health care bill. Every Republican in the House and even several dozen Democrats voted against the bill. So in the grand scheme of things, this health care bill remains the most partisan piece of significant and sweeping legislation passed in the history of the United States.

The editorial also chides Nunes for apparently not bringing home the pork to the district and gaining “nothing from his opposition” to the bill. Apparently the editorial writers figure that Stupak gained a lot from his early opposition to the bill, even though he played the appropriate part of an expensive whore, holding out for the right price. In fact that was the accusation made against Nunes’ fellow California representatives, Dennis Cardoza, D-CA, and Jim Costa, D-CA. The consummate spineless moderates that they are, they played their cards close to the vest until very late in the game, and as a result, were “awarded” with a 25-percent allocation of farm water to their already dead agricultural districts. Not quite Sen. Mary Landrieu’s “Louisiana Purchase” deal, but nonetheless offensive to many here in the Golden State, including the wealthy farmers who have bankrolled Cardoza and Costa’s campaigns in the past. Of course Costa and Cardoza deny being “bought” with this allocation of farm water, but it sure stinks given the timing of the whole deal.

The editorial also criticized Nunes for accusing the Democrats of “totalitarian” tactics as they rammed through the health care bill.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.

“On television, his Web site and the floor of Congress, Nunes used some of the most extreme language of any Republican in trying to block passage of the Affordable Health Care for America Act,” the editorial states.  “Nunes called the Democrats’ tactics ‘totalitarian,’ referred to health-reform supporters as ‘communists’ and predicted America’s decline into socialism.”

What else do you call it when the President of the United States forces an issue so unpopular, and the House of Representatives resorts to unconstitutional tricks, in order to pass something that most Americans don’t want? By what other name do you ascribe those who support forcing people to buy health insurance or go to prison? For all his faults and all the baseless criticisms of President George W. Bush, at no time during his two terms did he even come close to attempting to force such an unpopular piece of legislation down the throats of the American public. Even Bill Clinton knew when to give up on his attempts to socialize the health care system in America.

Nunes deserves much credit for trying to encourage his colleagues to live within the proper constraints of the US Constitution. To accuse Nunes of using “extreme language” when his language was true and to the point is offensive to everything this country was founded upon. For those interested in reading some “extreme language,” I’d invite you to read the Declaration of Independence because many of the complaints the colonists had against King George pale in comparison to the treason committed by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., President Barak Hussein Obama and the others who supported this piece of legislation. And while you’re at it, continue by reading the US Constitution and other historical documents from the founding of this country and then report back on how folks like Rep. Nunes are somehow misrepresenting their constituents.

Be VERY afraid!

Be afraid… be VERY afraid!

This morning’s health care signing party was bad enough except I had to listen to a rabid liberal in town praise the benefits of this plan (all of which are as real as the tooth fairy); not only that, but he went on to recite over and over how this was an historic event in America as if we’d just defeated a foreign country in war and forced the unconditional surrender signing ceremony be held in the Oval Office. The only thing defeated today was the American economy by the tyrant-in-chief!

The truth continues to come out, but sadly it’s too late. Health care premiums next year are expected to rise some 3,000%, which will force Obama and his Liberal goon squad to ramp up the public option. Meanwhile, doctors across America are preparing to leave the practice as the White House expects to add some 32 million people to the health insurance rolls. Where are they going to get their health care? Where are WE going to go for our health care? Will there even be health care in America in two years?
