Saturday Stuff

Now that's funny I don't care who you are voting for. What scares me is the treatment "Joe the Plumber" got from several regulatory agencies at the state level in checking on every aspect of his life. Their excuses for doing so were lame at best. This was just one American expressing his concern to a candidate for the highest office in our land. This same candidate has had the records of his background sealed. Joe Citizen is fair game for veiled threats and intimidation for daring to confront a major candidate, while the candidate won't even release the most basic of his personal information. The real puzzle to me is no one except the fringe elements of media and the Internet seem to think it's strange. I was a criminal investigator for over thirty years and I think it is very strange. I have never seen anyone coated in so much Teflon.

Well, I was shocked Friday morning when I went to vote early. Since I am, according to the media, one of maybe five people voting for McCain/Palin, I expected huge media coverage. I just knew I would have to wait in a long line for the members of Obama's Opposition Obstructionist Party to cast their ballots. But there were no National Media Mobile broadcast trucks there, and only three Democrats. I was dressed in black to make a statement for all the world to see, but all in vain. I really haven't seen huge lines anywhere thus far in early voting. I wonder how they will handle all the dead people, and the masses of people living under the bridges? How will they get to the polls? I am still having to snipe at Democrats who will not let go of their lame reasons for supporting "The Phantom." He doesn't know where he came from, he doesn't know where he's going, and he doesn't know what or how he will accomplish his mission once he gets there. Be assured the socialists who pull his little puppet strings know what is going to happen. I just have trouble believing the majority of silent voters won't turn out in unheard of numbers and give the arrogant pretenders a good left hook to the liver.

Now I know some of you who read me are "good" Democrats. I just can't figure where your heads are right now. How could you condone the obvious voter fraud groups like Acorn are openly committing? How could you be for a party who has a platform plank making it legal to use abortion (murder) for birth control? Why don't you add a plank to make killing old people in nursing homes legal for the convenience of those saddled with the burden of caring for them? How could you be for a party, who as I recall, said it was O.K. for a sitting pardoned felon, Bill Clinton, to have oral sex in the White House with a young intern, and yet feigns shock when a young teen aged girl is pregnant out of wedlock (and this only because she is the daughter of the V.P. candidate of the opposing party). Check your voter roles - I would bet money the percentages of young women on those roles who are in the same condition are exponentially greater than those in the same demographic on the roles of the opposition party. It is pure hypocrisy. How could you be for a party which advocates taking over more businesses and involving itself in a greater way in controlling every aspect of our lives in direct conflict with the U. S. Constitution. Can you name one federal agency that is not mired in the hopelessness of managing programs of such magnitude? Do you not remember the Carter years? I just can't wrap my mind around it. Do you not realize it is not really the President, but the party who controls the legislature, and the judiciary that put us in these perilous times? Check your own party's record on ignoring the warnings about Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. Check to see where the warnings were coming from. As greedy as private business and banking may be, it was the leaders of the Democrat Party who forced them into abandoning sound business practices and making loans to people who they knew would never be able to pay them back. Who got rich? The Democrats who controlled these government backed giants. The same people who funneled millions to Community Organizers like Barack Obama, and the same people who will benefit from his election. The Republicans we voted for in record numbers eight years ago failed to steer the course and failed to place the proper road blocks in place to stop the "out of control" Democrats. But I can assure you we do not need any more input from our own Socialist Party in order to right the ship. We may need a Constitutional Convention to overcome the damage done to our Constitution by the liberal judiciary.

I leave you with these quotes:

="One of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the great struggle for independence.": Charles Austin Beard (1874-1948)

="What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms".: Thomas Jefferson

="A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves": Edward R. Murrow

=
"I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave:" H. L. Mencken

It is hard to mount an argument in this day and time for one party without sounding like a sycophant, however to try and defend the Democrats is impossible without sounding like a psychotic. Dennis Price

More Bail Outs

Ahhhh C'mon! My teeth are on edge this morning. I just read where our concerned governmental representatives have slipped a little 25 billion dollar subsidized loan past us while we were carping over the 700 billion dollar Wall Street/Banking Industry bailout. This one is for U. S. Automakers. The loan is allegedly for research and development of more fuel efficient / alternate energy automobiles. This is simply unconstitutional. The U. S. government has no constitutional authority to do this. Why can't these giants deal with their poor management practices and dismal failures the way you and I would? No one runs to my aid when I make bone-headed decisions. I pull in my horns and start over from scratch. These thieves have always taken the path of least resistance in research and development. As long as gas was plentiful and people would buy the same gas guzzling automobile, with minor cosmetic changes, year after year that's what they gave us. They stifled anyone who challenged their fiefdom with their considerable wealth and influence. I am of the opinion they bought out and destroyed technology designed to improve gas mileage to maintain their kingly financial status. I wouldn't doubt people who could have provided evidence of these practices were killed by the industries' co-horts from organized crime who run the labor unions. Our editor in the Valley Morning Star editorial this morning says: "Doling out heaps of sugar to the auto companies illustrates one of the many dangers inherent in the Wall Street bailout. If the government can use taxpayers' money to bail out Wall Street, it makes it easier to justify bailing out other industries in trouble. Just three weeks ago, the auto company loan proposal was controversial with mixed prospects at best. But amid the chaos of last week, it passed with barely a murmur. Even as taxpayer resources dwindle, more interests will be clamoring for special treatment or "free"money, and there will be no principled reasons to deny them." (See the attached link on my sidebar for the Valley Morning Star and read the entire editorial) These strong arm practices have been going on for a long time. In 1948 Preston Tucker designed and built a truly innovative automobile called the Tucker Torpedo. The big three automakers in conjunction with Detroit Senator Homer Ferguson conspired and ran him out of business. The role of crooked and greedy politicians remains the same today. Inventor Robert Kearns approached the Ford motor company with a design for an intermittent windshield wiper assembly. Ford was not interested, but later came out with the same design which also mysteriously made its way into the hands of the other automakers. After years of legal wrangling and personal loss, Ford and Chrysler were ordered to pay Kearns 30 million dollars for the design they stole. Why should the U. S. taxpayer be saddled with bailing out these corrupt corporations? Show me in the U. S. Constitution where the government has the right to do this. While losing money over the last year, these auto giants gave their unionized workers lavish pension plans. If the people who represent us are too crooked to do the job they were elected to do then we should recall them. We should flood their offices with demands to re-structure their lavish pension plans and make the provisions of a more sensible plan retroactive. We should boycott these major banks and corporations until they fold. We could do it if we acted collectively. I think there are enough right thinking Americans in this country to pull it off. The other side has media support, but we can turn off televisions and radios, or change them to stations that carry programing designed to edify and benefit the American public.
