Government Creates Poverty, Capitalism Creates Prosperity

Today the average American is worse off than they were 2 1/2 years ago. President Obama's socialist policies of tax and spending, excessive regulation, and redistribution of wealth has caused a human tragedy in America.   
 
Obama's assault on the private sector and our free market system has created more dependence on government. America is now suffering from record levels of poverty.  One in seven Americas now lives in poverty while one in five children live in poverty.  47% of Americans now receive government assistance.  Democrats have longed for the opportunity to have a majority of citizens living on government assistance in order to secure a permanent voter base.  Government will never make you wealthy or happy.
 
Obama has destroyed job creation in America. Real unemployment in America is 16% and rising. Millions of people have lost their jobs since Obama took office while millions more have given up looking for work. Zero jobs were created in the month of August. The so called "stimulus" was nothing more than a slush fund to protect the unions and state and local governments from feeling the recession.
 
 Welcome to Obamaville.
 
America is bankrupt from Obama's big government spending binge and is buried under $16.5 trillion in national debt that a future generation who has no say in the matter will have to pay for.  No one can blame free market capitalism for our economic collapse and the downgrading of our AAA credit rating.  Only government is to blame.  
 
Millions of Americans have been led to believe the myth that free market capitalism makes rich people richer and poor people poorer. 
Politicians love the whip up ignorant people with class warfare attacks on achievers and producers in our society.  People who engage in class warfare are people filled with envy, many of whom do not believe in personal responsibility and feel entitled to other people's hard earned money.  Class warfare and envy are cancers of the soul.
 
Our free market capitalist system was the envy of the world before Obama came along.  America had the world strongest economy because of free market capitalism.  Unregulated free markets unleash America's entrepreneurial spirit and creates innovation and prosperity. Government intervention and excessive regulations strangle free markets.
 
Anti-capitalists argue that government needs to police and regulate free markets to prevent fraud and corruption.  The free market punishes those who engage in fraud and corruption.  I cannot think of anything in America more corrupt than the federal government.  The federal government engages is fraud, corruption, greed, and theft on a daily basis.
 
No one can offer one shred of evidence that free market capitalism makes rich people richer and poor people poorer.  Free markets provide a ladder for poor people to climb out of poverty.  Unregulated free markets give people of all income groups the opportunity to achieve prosperity and gain upward mobility.
 
Middle class and poor people do not create jobs.  Government does not create jobs either. Jobs are created when wealthy people risk their hard earned capital starting a business that creates a product or service they believe can be sold for more than it cost to produce it.  Profits are not evil.  Profit motive spurs the greatest innovations. If you can't make money producing a product or service you cannot create jobs.  Free markets create competition which benefits the consumer.  More competition means more choices and lower costs for goods and services. 
 
In a free market system you have winners and losers.  If you lose, you have the freedom to try again.  Consumers pick winners and losers, not government.   
 
Government picking winners and losers is crony capitalism. Crony capitalism occurs when Wall Street firms give large sums of money to politicians in exchange for political favors, i.e. bailouts.  Obama giving over $500 million dollars of taxpayer money to Solyndra, a phony start up solar panel company who filed bankruptcy, is crony capitalism, not free market capitalism.  Crony capitalism is Obama suing Boeing to prevent Boeing from building airplanes in a brand new non-union manufacturing plant located in South Carolina to repay unions who are Obama's largest campaign donors.
 
Ronald Reagan created 20 million jobs in our free market system by lowering taxes and getting government out of the way of the private sector.  George W. Bush created several million jobs and grew our economy in the aftermath of 9/11 by cutting taxes to spur investment in our economy.  Our economy suffered when Bush violated free market principles with massive expansion of government and bailouts at the end of his presidency
 
Today there are 25% less millionaires in America than there were one year ago.  That is nothing for class warfare minded people to cheer about.  As a result our economy suffers because there are fewer people who can afford to risk capital to create jobs.  When people cannot risk capital to create jobs the poor and the middle class suffer the most.  You cannot grow an economy from the bottom up.  No government has ever been successful growing an economy with central planning and control. The economy is grown from the top down by entrepreneurs who take risk and create jobs.
 
Unregulated free markets create more taxpayers.  Big government has smothered the private sector reducing revenues to the treasury.   Today over 42% of Americans do not pay taxes.  Obama creates class warfare when he falsely claims secretaries and plumbers pay more taxes than millionaires.  The top 1% of the wage earners in America pays 40% of all taxes while the top 10% pay over 70% of all taxes. 
 
Our country has always prided itself in leaving a better America for the next generation.  We are now on a path to leaving a bankrupt country with less opportunity for the next generation.  If we continue down our current path of big government socialism, our economic collapse will deepen and future generations will inherit a declining America with limited opportunity.

An Affordable Solution to College Education

The cost of a college education has become unreachable for many Americans.  Many people who can not afford to go to college struggle to find a good paying job with upward mobility if they lack a trade skill.  In todays economy students graduate from college in debt six figures unable to find a job. 

College tuition has skyrocketed over the last 30 years because government subsidizes college tuition.  Poor families and lower middle class families who can not afford to send their kids to college have tuition paid for by the government at the expense of the taxpayers.  That means colleges are free to keep raising their tuition with no fear of losing customers. Wealthy families can afford the rising tuition rates and government keeps paying for those who can't afford it.  This is a win win for colleges.  Democrat politicians love to demonize the private sector for making a profit.  Isn't it ironic that these same politicians never turn their hostility towards academia for outrageous tuition rate increases and "obscene profits"?  I have elementary school age twins.  If they were going to college today my wife and I would be paying $80,000.00 to $100,000.00 per year in tuition.  How many families can afford that?

We can solve this problem by eliminating government subsidies and developing and accepting a more common sense higher education solution. Employers have a large role to play and need to reconsider what is as an acceptable level of higher education.  Corporations are missing out on young talent because the cost of a college education is unaffordable for most Americans.

Many fields do not requie a four year college degree.  People seeking a career in sales, marketing, advertising, accounting, nursing, computer programming, and many other fields do not need a four year degree.  Unless you are going to specialize in medicine, biology, engineering, finance, or a truly specialized field, an associate’s degree is a fine education.   Let’s face it, no matter what you do; most of your learning is on the job!  Nurses will tell you most of their learning was on the job, not in the classroom.  You don't need a four year degree in accounting to take and pass the CPA exam.   

I have a four year business administration degree with a major in marketing.  The majority of courses I was required to take were irrelevant and a waste of money.  Only a few courses actually prepared me for a career in sales.  Not one college course taught me about salesmanship.  I learned that on the job and by reading books on salesmanship. In addition to the required business degree courses, my college required me to take 2 semesters of chemistry, 2 semesters of philosophy, 1 semester of sociology, 1 semester of European history, and many worthless electives.  Academia claims this gives you a rich educational experience. In four years of college I was required to take only 2 semesters of math and English - two subjects everyone uses for their entire life no matter what field you are in.  How many parents reading this struggle helping their elementary school age children with their math homework?

Education is the one product that many consumers do not mind getting ripped off on.  Lets be honest, many of you reading this who have a bachelors degree were thrilled to take easy, irrelevant elective courses so you could skate by with an A or B grade without ever considering that these courses were a waste of your time and money.  For many, easy courses meant more time for fun.  Was that really worth the steep price you or your parents paid for your education?   

For decades colleges and universities have been infested with radical professors who hold an ax to grind against America.  Instead of actually teaching, these so called professors use class time trying to indoctrinate students into Marxism, socialism, and communism.  Do parents get their moneys worth from their children listening to this garbage?

We need a common sense affordable educational solution for people seeking a general degree that can be useful in many fields at a fraction of the cost.   Colleges, Junior colleges, and community colleges offering a 2 year degree program can offer the following two year curriculum which will provide students with a good common sense education that will prepare graduates for the real private sector world.

  • Four semesters of math
  • Four semesters of English
  • One semester of public speaking and business writing
  • Two semesters of economics - everyone needs a basic foundation of economics
  • One semester of free markets and capitalism study - entrepreneurs create jobs, not government
  • Two semesters of US history - young people today have an appalling lack of knowledge of our nations founding and our history
  • One semester of US Constitution study - our Constitution protects our freedoms. We must protect the Constitution.  Everyone should understand the Constitution and the role of the three separate branches of government established by our Founding Fathers
  • Elective courses specific to ones potential career interest - nursing, accounting, sales and marketing, computer programming etc.
If I ran a business I would rather hire an intelligent person who undertook a serious two year degree program at a community college as opposed to someone who spent four years finding themselves at an elite college.   An affordable common sense education will give students the skills and knowledge necessary to be a valuable asset to any organization they will work for in the private sector.   Educating future entrepreneurs who will someday become small businesses owners will expand  job creation.   Job creation is something our crumbling economy badly needs.

What Obama and the Left Really Want

Everything Obama is doing today is weakening and destroying our economy and America, and it is done on purpose.  Out of control deficits, failed stimulus, TARP, Obamacare, Cap and Trade (cap and tax) takeover of the financial sector and the auto industry, weakened national defense, union favoritism, and amnesty for illegals are all part of Obama and the democrats plan to takeover America.  No sensible person who loves America would do anything that Obama has done. 
 
Obama has declared war against our economy and our freedom and liberty. Obama's destructive policies and agenda are not the act of a reckless politician.  Like Communist dictators Lenin, Hugo Chavez, Mao, and Castro before him, Obama is intent on destroying the middle class in America.  Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat party who have controlled congress since 2007 are his willing accomplices.  
 
Why would Obama want to destroy the middle class?  If Obama and the democrats turn the middle class into a class of welfare recipients, Obama will then control the middle class.  America will become a nation of welfare recipients who require government assistance and welfare handouts to survive.  The majority will be supported by a minority of hardworking people who believe in personal responsibility. The number of Americans receiving food stamps set a new record for the 20th straight month in July.  People who live on government handouts will never vote themselves out of a free paycheck and we will lose our country.
 
As a Christian nation we have a responsibility to help those in need who can not help themselves. We do not have an obligation to give a never ending stream of welfare assistance to able bodied freeloaders who chose not to help themselves.
 
Obama aims to turn the middle class into the welfare class by destroying job creation with his war against the economy and our free market system.   Real unemployment today is 15% to 20% and rising.  Haven't you heard the liberal talking heads telling you that double digit unemployment is the new norm?  Jobs are created when entrepreneurs take risk and create a product or service consumers want that can be sold for more than it cost to produce it.  Obama views profits as something big government needs to confiscate.
 
The expiration of the Bush tax cuts at the end of the year will be nails in the coffin of the US economy.
 
Today America is governed by a minority of ruling class elitists.  The entire Obama agenda is overwhelmingly unpopular with the majority of American people and the people who make this country work.  Not one incumbent democrat is campaigning on their vote and support for Obamacare, TARP, failed stimulus, Cap and Trade, take over of the private sector, and tax increases.  Democrats can not campaign on their record - they are running from it.
 
Obama has created  a conservative uprising, not a republican uprising in America.  America must return republicans who are led by the conservative Tea Party movement back to power in the House and Senate this November.  Republican control over congress will allow republicans to start defunding Obama's destructive policies.  Americans do not want big spending, big government running our lives and taking away our freedoms.  If established moderate republicans in Washington continue to  buck the conservative movement, they will quickly find themselves back in the minority again.

Ivy Leaguers Need Not Apply in 2012

I for one have had enough of Ivy League educated law students occupying the White House - Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, and now Obama. Enough already!  The last president who was not an Ivy League elitist was none other than Ronald Reagan.
 
Brilliant people very often only give us brilliant rationalizations for their brilliant mistakes.  Weren't we told that Rhodes Scholar Bill Clinton was the smartest president ever?  We are told Obama's IQ is so high you can't measure it.
 
Obama and his fellow wizards of smart in Washington have given us dizzying debt that future generations will pay for, near double digit unemployment, falling income, and a financial and housing crisis resulting in the worst economy since the Great Depression.  The recession has been caused by and prolonged by our government, not by the free market private sector.  
 
The so called smartest people in the country are rushing to replace the best healthcare system in the world with government run rationed healthcare, cripple our economy with "Cap and Tax" policies in the name of discredited science, and erode our unique culture with amnesty and citizenship for illegal aliens. 
 
The vast majority of Americans are opposed to all of Obama's destructive policies.  Socialized healthcare and "Cap and Tax" policies are proven failures in other countries but Obama is rushing at breakneck speed to implement these policies in America.  This is a power grab by our government in an effort to control the people and make us servants of the government.  Elected elitists in Washington are stripping away our individual freedoms.  So much for a government of the people by the people.
 
I want a real person for president who is not an elitist and knows in their heart what is best for America.  A true conservative with the courage to criticize Obama for his destructive policies.  A conservative who believes in American exceptionalism and stands for lower taxes, limited government, free markets, strong national defense, using our abundant domestic energy resources, right to life, and traditional values.
 
The Left and the elitists in the Republican Party know who this person is.  They are terrified of her because they know she is electable!  Sarah Palin is a genuine person who has all the right issues and policies.  She is a rock star because everyday hard working Americans relate to her.  Many Americans look at the Palin's and see similarities in their own families - a  hard working couple with a son who is a hero for serving in the military, daughters involved in sports, and for millions of Americans, a special needs child who the Palin's view as a gift from God.
 
Media elitists such as Maureen Dowd, Kathleen Parker, and Peggy Noonan are afraid of Sarah Palin because she is a traditional values working mom who with her husband raises their own kids.   Elitists who attack Sarah Palin and her family are sick people.  Those on our side who attack Sarah sound like terrified little Katie Couric's.  All suffer from Palin Derangement Syndrome.
 
Most Americans are conservative in some form of their life and identify with one or all of the basic conservative principles of limited government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and traditional values.  The Republican Party needs a candidate with passion who can genuinely articulate these conservative principles to contrast Obama's un-American socialism.  No one can do that better than Sarah Palin because she speaks with common sense from her heart to the American people.  She does not need to use polls and focus groups before taking a stand on an issue.  Americans want patriotic leadership.  Alaska's former governor loves America and she can win.
 
Before her resignation, Sarah Palin was America's most successful governor. In less than three years she accomplished more than most governors accomplish in eight years. Palin cut Alaska's spending by 10%, reduced Alaska's request for federal funds by a whopping 80%, fought corruption in her own party, and successfully secured a new Alaska pipeline agreement that will deliver Alaska's abundant natural gas to the lower 48.  The Alaska natural gas line project (known as AGIA) was spinning in the wind for 30 years before Sarah Palin made this act of energy independence a reality.
 
These are facts that the inside the beltway snobs on FOX News do not want you to know about.  They want you to believe that she is not intelligent, well read, ready for the job, or worldly.  Sarah Palin is smarter and savvier than all of these elitists.   She is an American success story not because of who she married, but because of her own hard work and talent.
 
After the 2008 election Obama and his allies in the state run media set out to destroy Sarah Palin with their Chicago style thuggery because they know she can win in 2012.  Sarah outsmarted Obama by stepping down as governor.  Obama thought he had his enemy isolated in Alaska so he could destroy her reputation.  Now Obama must go back to his hero Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals playbook to come up with another plan.
 
Palin is the only Republican that the Left is afraid of.  You don't see anyone attacking Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, or Mike Huckabee do you? 
 
The more the media snobs attack Sarah Palin the more that tells you she is our best candidate for 2012.  If you thought Howard Dean screamed loud in Iowa, just wait until you hear the Left scream if Sarah Palin runs for president in 2012.

Are You Safer Now Than You Were Three Months Ago?

The most important duty of a US president is to defend and protect the United States from enemies foreign and domestic.  This is a duty that President George W. Bush took very seriously, and he did not let his country down.
 
For seven years following the 9/11 attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, President Bush kept America safe from another attack by aggressively taking the fight to al-Qaeda, their infrastructure, and their allies.  By treating terrorism as a war and authorizing enhanced interrogation techniques and eavesdropping on terrorist communications, Bush preventing another 9/11 style attack on Los Angeles and disrupted and stopped terrorist attacks around the world.  Enhanced interrogation techniques such as sleep deprivation, playing loud music, scaring terrorists with insects, and painless water boarding gained more intelligence information that saved American lives than any program the CIA or FBI could come up with.  Water boarding 9/11 mastermind Kalik Sheikh Mohammed enabled us to stop the planned 9/11 style attack on buildings in Los Angeles.
 
Three months into the new administration, Obama has prohibited our government from referring to the war against jihadists as the War on Terror, and terrorism is now referred to as a "man caused disaster".  Our surrender operation in the War on Terror is called the "Overseas Contingency Operation". Future acts of terrorism against the United States will once again be treated as a mere law enforcement issue. This is the same failed Clinton policy of pacifism, appeasement, and retreat that resulted in eight terrorist attacks against the United States under Clinton's watch leading us to 9/11.  As you read this, many of the procedures Bush put into place to keep us safe from future attack are being dismantled.  Obama's recent public disclosure of classified records on the highly successful interrogation techniques authorized by the Bush administration is an act of treason.  It comes as no surprise that Obama has refused to make public the records that prove the success of these interrogation techniques and the lives that were saved.
 
Obama has announced that the Bush administration architects of our interrogation policies may be charged with criminal acts.  Never before has a sitting president criminalized the policies of a former president that he disagrees with.  Taking criminal action against Bush justice department officials will be devastating to the security of our country.
 
Obama has declared that the greatest threat America faces is not from terrorists but from right wing conservatives, particularly members of our military who disagree with his radical socialist polices.  Obama has already issued cuts in military spending and has ordered some of our vital missile defense systems be dismantled. These missile defense systems are designed to protect America and Europe from nuclear missile attack from rogue regimes and terrorist groups, North Korea, and Iran.
 
Official Obama foreign policy consists of trash talking the United States during his world wide apology tour and cozying up to our enemies such as Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.  If you are an enemy of the United States Obama loves you. If you are an ally of the United States Obama resents you.
 
Our boarders will remain open to those who wish to cause harm to America.  Nut case Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano has declared that illegally crossing our boarders is really not a crime.  This will all be very comforting to terrorists around the world who wish to destroy America and our allies.
 
Weakening our military and removing successful tools for fighting terrorists will only embolden our enemies. Obama owns the next terrorist attack against America. When that day comes, you can thank an Obama voter.

Elections Do Have Consequences

Thomas Jefferson wisely said that "the greatest calamity which could befall us would be submission to a government of unlimited powers".  In the 2008 presidential election, America sadly did just that. 
 
America is marching head long into socialism and most Obama sheep do not understand what they voted for. The majority of Americans do not even understand what socialism is.  Sadly, too many Americans are sponges who watch the news once or twice a week believing everything the left wing media feeds them because they are too lazy to research facts.  Slogans and propaganda are easy sells to Obama supporters who never questioned his soaring rhetoric.  Class warfare rhetoric of screwing achievers and producers is a popular sentiment during tough economic times. 
 
America was founded because of a rejection of overreaching government.  We are now faced with a government that will strip away our individual freedoms one by one for the next four years in the name of fairness, equality of results, and income redistribution.  America is the greatest nation in the world because of our individual freedoms and liberty which allow people to achieve to their fullest potential and strive for prosperity to the best of their own individual ability.  We have the strongest economy in the world because of individual responsibility and our free market system.  The entrepreneurial spirit of the American people makes our nation great. Not big government. 
 
The federal government will now confiscate as much of the private sector as possible.  Nationalizing banks and the automobile industry will be a disaster. The trillion dollar plus porkulus spending program debated in congress will not revive our economy and will only lead to massive deficits, deeper recessions, future inflation, and higher unemployment. Most of the money from Obama's welfare expansion plan will not reach the economy until late 2010 or 2011. According to the Heritage Foundation, the House porkulus bill will increase welfare spending by $787 billion to a staggering $9.8 trillion over the next ten years costing the average taxpaying household $127,000.00.  You can bet that these temporary increases in welfare spending will be made permanent.  Increasing welfare will not put a penny into our economy.
 
The current porkulus spending bill bans funds provided to colleges and universities from use in renovating buildings where students engage in worship. $4.1 Billion is allocated to ACORN to continue engaging voter fraud activities. How is this going to stimulate our economy? 
 
Increased government spending will never revive our economy. The trillion dollar TARP rescue bill failed to revive our economy. As a matter of fact, $78 billion from TARP is missing and the government can not account for it!
 
The only measure that will revive our economy is tax cuts. Cut the corporate tax rate to 12% to 15% and cut income taxes. Tax cuts will encourage investment, increase consumer spending, and create millions of new jobs. 
 
Socialist Europe has failing economies and skyrocketing unemployment. Today countries like France, Sweden, Germany, and China are cutting taxes.  Russia now has a flat tax of 15%.  Nations abroad are turning toward our conservative principles of lower taxes to stimulate economic growth while we turn away from our own proven principles for economic growth.  Obama and the Democrats will turn America into a failed socialist society.  Japan has already proven that government can not spend their way out of a recession.
 
America gave Obama a sweeping victory to implement his radical socialist policies and central government control.  Obama's goal is to transform America into a society where the majority of people do not pay taxes, and are victims that live off meager government hand outs at the expense of those who achieve, produce, and pay taxes. A voter majority of welfare recipients will never vote for Republicans who want tax cuts for those who pay their way!   Obama will rush to legalize illegal immigrants and put them on a quick path to citizenship to reach his goal.  And John McCain will be there to help his friend, and continue to poke his own party in the eyes.  
 
Obama will not moderate his policies. Right out of the gate Obama has made a mad dash to the left by ordering the closure of Guantanamo Bay detention facility, ordering the release of the terrorist mastermind behind the bombing of the USS Cole, and allocating taxpayer dollars for funding overseas abortion clinics.  Four of Obama's cabinet nominees are tax cheats, his nominee for Director of the CIA sought the destruction of this very agency during the Clinton presidency, and newly confirmed  Attorney General Eric Holder is a terrorist sympathizer.  Under Obama, we will continue the same failed Clinton foreign policy of appeasement, concessions, and deceit which will place America at great risk of attack.
 
The battle for the courts is lost for now. Obama will have the opportunity to appoint at least one liberal judge to the Supreme Court and he will fill the lower courts with radical liberals.  Sadly, Republicans have never shown a willingness to fight to protect our Constitution and our courts from radical jurists who impose their liberal policy preferences on our society.
 
Republicans in congress must fight Obama every day of his presidency. If Obama is successful in implementing his anti-American policies this will be the death of democracy and the death of our economy.  Republicans must fight to slow the massive government expansion Obama has in store for us.  Conservatives in congress must also forcefully oppose the Obama-Pelosi welfare expansion bill. 
 
Conservatives must also focus our fight on two key issues that will reduce the carnage of Obamunism - preventing nationalized healthcare and amnesty for illegals. Socialized medicine is a complete failure in every country that suffers from its symptoms of delay, deny, and then you die.  These are the two key tipping points that are battles we can win. We won the first round of the amnesty battle with George W. Bush. 
 
Obamunism will fail.  But like FDR's failed policies, the damage from Obama will be felt for generations to come.

Hope Obama Succeeds Itis

The growing chorus of Republicans and some conservatives who have stated they "hope Obama succeeds" is alarming.
 
Why would anyone who embraces individual freedom and liberty, free market capitalism, and limited government want Obama to succeed?  Obama succeeding means that he is successful in forcing his radical big government socialist agenda on America.  If Obama succeeds we will have higher taxes and more income redistribution, higher unemployment, a new New Deal that will cause a deeper recession, larger more intrusive big government that will take more control over the private sector and strip away more of our individual freedoms, weakened national defense that will put our nation in grave danger, disastrous nationalized healthcare, a ruinous energy policy that will destroy our economy, and a Supreme Court and federal court that will trample our Constitution.  Success for Obama means two terms. For you Obama voters, that is eight years. 
 
Does anyone who believes in the greatness of America really want Obama to succeed?  Apparently no one in the Republican party has the courage to oppose Obama.  Republicans are afraid to state they want the Messiah to fail.  The GOP looks ready to roll over and play dead to Obama.   Republicans did not know how to lead when they were in the majority and are already showing they do not know how to lead an opposition minority.
 
Adopting Democrat policies and trying to water them down is one of the reasons the Republicans are out of power!  That is not conservatism. When will Republicans learn that they are supposed to defeat Democrats, not work with them? 
 
41% of Americans do not pay taxes and live off those who do pay taxes. If Obama can transform the majority of Americans into welfare recipients living off government handouts, the Republican party will be doomed. Why would the majority vote for Republicans who want to cut taxes for those who pay their way?
 
Obama's socialist policies and experiments will fail.  But the effects will last decades. I for one hope Obama fails.

The Road Back to the White House

Ronald Reagan famously stated “let them go their way…” when referring to Republicans who would not subscribe to conservative principles. Republicans lost the White House to an anti-American radical because the Republican party abandoned conservative principles, ran a moderate, and lost their way.

The Republican party led by President Bush abandoned core conservative principles and became moderates adopting Democrat policies. The average voter who pays little attention to the issues was not inspired and could barely tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats. John McCain was considered to be the safe candidate who would attract Independents. Post election analysis shows 20% of Republicans stayed home or did not vote for McCain while 69% of Independents voted for Obama.  Joe Lieberman campaigned for McCain but today remains a Democrat. McCain stunningly lost the tax issue to Obama.

Those who jumped ship and endorsed Obama like Colin Powell should never be allowed back into the party. They joined the Democrats, let them stay there. The Republican party can grow today and in the future by bringing people in as conservatives just like Reagan did.

To win back the White House in 2012 Republicans must return to conservative principles of limited government, lower taxes, strong national defense, personal responsibility, individual freedom, capitalism, and traditional values that apply to all people regardless race or gender. Politics of identity and voter block is a loser. Through conservative leadership we can win the votes of whites, blacks, Hispanics, and women.  

Names of future candidates are already being discussed. Mitt Romney, Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Newt Gingrich, and Sarah Palin are potential candidates two years from now. It would be a mistake for any candidate to start campaigning now.

Any candidate who has aspirations for 2012 needs to spend the next two years advancing conservative principles and helping conservatives get elected in federal, state, and local elections.  Candidates need to be visible and follow the Reagan model of advancing conservative principles throughout the country. Serious candidates must have a demonstrated track record of conservatism, not just tell us in two years they are conservative.

Socialism has failed in every society it has been tried. Spreading the wealth around is good for no one. The only thing Obama will spread in the next four years with his radical socialism is misery and economic disaster.   An economic policy of taking from producers in a society and giving to those who do not produce creates equal distribution of misery and want.  

America is the most prosperous nation in the world because our economy is built on free markets, capitalism, and private enterprise. Overreaching government regulation stifles economic growth, innovation, entrepreneurship, and prosperity.

Conservatives need to champion freedom and liberty. Shortly a president will be occupying the White House who could not be more at odds with freedom and liberty.

Obama will be a one term president; Jimmy Carter’s second failed term and worse.  Obama will not lead our country; he will run a bigger more intrusive government that continues to strip away our individual freedoms.

Obama’s radical policies will fail and our economy and security will suffer terrible set backs.  If Republicans return to conservative principles, not only will Republicans regain the White House in 2012, the carnage of the Obama administration could put Democrats out of power for many years.

Conservatism was not Defeated

Obama won the presidency because no elected official in Washington has led a conservative movement for the past eight years.  Bush was never a conservative and therefore had no intention of leading a conservative movement.
 
America became dissatisfied with Republicans because the Republican party has been taken over by moderates who abandoned timeless conservative principles of limited government, lower taxes, traditional values and morals, and strong national defense. One by one moderate Republicans who behave like Democrats have lost senate and house seats since 2006.  Elected Republicans thought they could win by adopting Democrat policies and attempting to water them down. The Republican party abandoned conservatives, moved left, ran a moderate candidate for president, and got creamed. 
 
A majority of Americans have decided that they want government to take care of them and want to be free of personal responsibility. This certainly reflects poorly on what our nation has become.  Class warfare sentiments certainly ran strong in this election. Americans have been fooled by phony promises of hope and change.   
 
We lost this battle, but the war is not lost. Americans respond to leadership.  A motivated conservative base led by an unabashed conservative leader will rescue America from the carnage of Obama.  It won't be long before the average Obama voter starts saying, "what, I did not vote for this".  Obama's radical liberalism and communist policies will fail.
 
A new battle for our country starts tomorrow.

You Are Who You Surround Yourself With

There is an old but wise saying that "you are who you surround yourself with".  You can learn a lot about the character of a person by looking at who they associate with. Close inspection of who Barack Hussein Obama surrounds himself with reveals Obama to be a radical socialist who resents America.  Obama surrounds himself with radicals and racists who resent America and everything that makes America the greatest nation in the world.
 
Let's first take a close look at Obama's close friend Bill Ayers who Obama refers to as "just a guy from the neighborhood".  Bill Ayers is a radical domestic terrorist who with his wife Bernadine Dohrn ran the Underground Weathermen, a violent domestic terrorist organization.  In the1960's and 1970's Ayers bombed the Pentagon, the U.S. Capital, police stations around the country, private citizens homes, and other targets killing innocent people in the process. Ayers was arrested but not prosecuted because of a wire tapping technicality. Upon release, Ayers proudly claimed "guilty as sin, free as a bird, what a great country".  Bill Ayers is not just a domestic terrorist.  Ayers is a Timothy McVey who got away with it.  After 9/11 Ayers told the New York Times he wished he "could have done more".  
 
Ayers helped Obama launch his political career and held one of his first fundraisers when Obama campaigned for the Illinois state senate.  The only administrative job that Obama has ever held was provided to him by a known terrorist. Obama and Ayers served together on so called community projects; most notably they served together on the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) that was billed as a project to reform public schools. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge received a $50 million grant and Ayers put Obama in charge of distributing the funds.  Obama channeled millions from the grant to ACORN. Ayers goal was to radicalize students.  Ayers used the CAC to instruct public school teachers on a radical socialist program that would teach young children to resent capitalism, resist achievement, and embrace radical activism.   
 
The CAC was a failure and did not reform schools as intended. Today, the Chicago public school system is one of the worst school systems in the country despite spending $10,000.00 per student.  Less than one-third of Chicago high school juniors meet state standards on tests while only 6% of the students will graduate from college by the time they turn 25 years old. 
 
Ayers is an enemy of the United States and our capitalist system and recently traveled to Venezuela to meet with our enemy Hugo Chavez to discuss socialist agendas and the overthrow of capitalism. Ayers seeks to destroy our capitalist system and work with Obama to replace it with a radical anti-American socialist system that will destroy our economy and slowly take away our individual freedoms.    Ayers and Obama could not be happier with the current economic meltdown. The Democrats who are almost solely responsible for this crisis are blaming the financial crisis on free markets and de-regulation, not their intrusive government regulations and policies.
  
Obama is one of the people responsible for our current economic crisis. While working as a Community Organizer before running for president, Barack Obama provided legal work for and has close ties to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).  ACORN is a radical left wing organization that engages in voter fraud, and has their hands filthy dirty in today's financial crisis.
ACORN has been very successful at intimidating lenders into providing home loans to the poor and minorities who can not afford them, and successfully lobbied Democrats in Congress to loosen lending standards.  Obama is reported to have filed a lawsuit on behalf of ACORN against Citicorp for not providing more home loans to minorities and poor people.  Where does ACORN receive their funding you might ask? 40% of their funding comes from the American taxpayer!
 
Obama gave $800,000.00 of his own campaign money to ACORN to support their voter fraud efforts, and refuses to denouce their illegal activitiy. ACORN is committing rampant voter registration fraud across the country and is under investigation in 12 states.  Dead people, illegal aliens, and children are fraudulently registered as Democrat voters multiple times all across the country by ACORN who employs felons as voter registration workers.  ACORN has registered the Dallas Cowboys football team as new voters in Nevada and Missouri.  It is believed that ACORN has registered over 1.3 million people as new voters this year alone and frequently offers homeless people booze and cigarettes as rewards for participating in their fraudulent registration drives. Are you wondering how many of these new registered voters are legitimate? 
  
Some of Obama's other close friends are well know. Obama's spiritual advisor and minister is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a radical left wing nut who preaches hatred of America and racism against white people and Jews. Wright's sound bites of "God Damn America" and "America's chickens have come home to roost" (the later comment is in reference to 9/11), made headlines earlier this year. Obama belonged to Wright's church for twenty years and brought his young children to listen to his incendiary hate filled sermons.
 
It is believed that Obama was introduced to Reverend Wright by none other than his wife Michelle Obama.  Where has Michelle Obama been lately?  Obama's wife is so radioactive that Obama's campaign has locked her away so no one can hear from her.  Michelle Obama famously called America a "mean country", and states that she is just now "proud of her country for the first time".  Speaking to healthcare workers earlier this year on the campaign trail, Michelle Obama lectured to avoid achievement and avoid striving for high paying corporate jobs. Instead, she advised attendees to get active in their community! I wonder where she learned that.
 
Obama has been endorsed by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrikhan and the terrorist organization Hamas.  This is the first time in history a terrorist organization has endorsed a presidential candidate.   Today, Obama is trying to distance himself from his friends Farrikhan, his chief finanical supporter Tony Rezko who is on his way to prison for a fraud and bribery conviction, and the highly controversial Reverend Pfleger who has preached at Obama's church.
 
In the past, American voters have often looked closely at a candidate's character when deciding on a presidential candidate.  Obama is friends with terrorists and anti-American radicals who resent America and wish our country harm. Obama's beliefs and value system has clearly been influenced by his circle of radical friends and acquaintances. If Obama is elected president with Democrat majorities in Congress, our individual freedoms will be stripped away, our Constitution will be trampled, our judiciary will become even more activist and radical, and our free market capitalist system will be replaced with a radical socialist system.  America will lurch into a communist system that will fail, but in the process our country will suffer carnage that will take a generation to recover from.  
 
This is the most important election of our time. Based on recent polls, the majority of American's are not concerned about Obama's circle of radical friends and acquaintances, or are not paying attention. Has our country really changed this much?  We will soon find out if the majority of American's will fight to defeat Obama, or if a majority of American's today share in his radical beliefs.

Class Warfare Policies Hurt All

 

This election season we are hearing the same old tired diatribe from Barack Obama and the Democrats that we must tax the rich. 

Barack Obama’s economic policy is to raise taxes.  Obama will raise income taxes, payroll taxes, corporate taxes, capital gains taxes, and the death tax. The federal government last year spent a whopping $2.9 trillion and Obama wants to raise taxes! Democrats always want to raise taxes ripping off hard working Americans so politicians can grow government, transfer wealth, and consolidate more power. The United States has the second highest corporate tax rate in the world. Raising corporate taxes will only serve to send more jobs overseas putting more Americans out of work.  The main goal of a business is to earn profits and our government can’t wait to tax them.  Where would our economy be without businesses big and small that employ people and provide heathcare and retirement plan benefits for their employees?
 
Obama deceivingly claims that he will only raise taxes on the top 5% of the wage earners. Who exactly is the top 5%? Well according to the IRS, 75% of the taxpayers filing as individuals in the top income brackets are small businesses. That’s right, small businesses that employ many of you. The IRS allows small business owners to file as individuals in order to avoid double taxation. If a small business filed taxes as a corporation, they would have to pay revenue taxes and dividend taxes.   Obama is not telling the truth when he claims small businesses will not be effected by his tax increases.

In today’s economy small businesses create the vast majority of new jobs. If small business owners are hit with tax increases, jobs will be lost and you or people you know will be unemployed. Facts are inconvenient for politicians who do not understand basic economics but like to play on voter’s emotions during election season. While a stick it to the rich sentiment might temporarily make some feel good, our economy will suffer greatly from tax increases.

Obama falsely claims he would like to cut taxes for 95% of working Americans. How is Obama going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans when 33% of working age Americans do not pay taxes? Obama claims tax increases are a matter of fairness.  His gas bag running mate Senator Joe Biden stated that paying higher taxes is patriotic! According to the IRS, the top 1% of the wage earners pays 40% of all federal taxes and the top 50% of the wage earners pays 97% of all federal taxes. Does that sound fair?  Under Obama's tax plan, top income earners will actually pay more in taxes than they will earn in take home pay.

Is the government’s $1 trillion plus bail out of the financial industry at the expense of the taxpayer fairness? Only 3% to 4% of homeowners are having difficulty meeting their mortgage obligation and our government’s solution is to take over $1 trillion dollars from hard working taxpayers to fix a problem Democrats caused with their failed policy of forcing lenders to provide home loans to people who could not afford them.
 
Presidents Kennedy, Reagan, and Bush all proved that lower taxes for working Americans and businesses creates new jobs, spurs entrepreneurship, lowers the unemployment rate, and grows our economy. Since the Reagan policy of lower taxes and smaller government began in the early 1980’s, the US economy has been in a recession a mere 16 months while producing over 50 million jobs. Socialist Europe can only dream of these economic statistics. Democrat claims that the Bush tax cuts only benefited the so called rich and left behind the middle class is class warfare rhetoric that is simply not true. The Bush tax cuts produced astounding economic growth and job growth while the federal government generated record tax revenue. Yes, the federal government actually increases tax revenue when income and capital gains taxes are cut.  Under Bush, America has enjoyed six years of economic growth despite a mini recession inherited from the Clinton administration, 9/11, and the ensuing War on Terror.

Class warfare economic policies have never lifted a single person out of poverty and only lead to increased government spending, abuse of power by elected officials, and higher unemployment.  Tax increases will cripple today’s weak economy and send our economy into a recession.

If elected president, Barack Obama has $1 trillion in new spending in store for us with no way to pay for it other than sending a tax bill to the two thirds of working Americans who pay taxes. The economy can only grow if working Americans are allowed keep more of their hard earned money. Our Founding Fathers created our government to be a government of the people by the people. Slick talking politicians who want to decide who makes too much or too little money are not serving the people, and are not worthy of our vote.

Free Markets not Government is the Solution to the Trillion Dollar Disaster

Government is almost always the cause of the problem, not the solution to the problem.  Free markets and conservatism is the solution to the financial industry crisis, not a taxpayer funded government bailout. 
 
President Bush and Democrats in Congress are behaving like cheap used car salesmen pressuring and scaring the American people that the consequences of not acting now with a taxpayer bailout are dire!  
 
Democrats caused this problem by forcing private financial companies to provide home loans to the poor and illegal aliens who had no money for a down payment and no means of paying back the loan.  Failed government agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac existed to provide home loans to the poor in order to increase home ownership.  Now we are expected to pay for politicians reckless policies and failed social experiments.  Home ownership is not a Constitutional right.  Those who have no intention or no means of meeting their financial obligation should not be allowed to keep their homes at the expense of hardworking taxpayers.  Congress can not put an exact figure on the trillion dollar crisis, but expect the taxpayers to provide a blank check so government can nationalize the financial industry.  Politicians like Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank who are primarily responsible for this mess should go to prison.
 
The $1 trillion taxpayer bailout is touted to be a financial windfall for the government. Politicians are boasting that the government will make a fortune reselling these risky loans when market conditions improve.  But the taxpayer will not see a penny of it.  This predicted cash windfall will be used to expand government and create more socialist policies and programs.  America's ongoing creep towards socialism will go into overdrive.
 
The solution to this problem is free markets and conservative policies, not a taxpayer bailout.  Rush Limbaugh proposed a brilliant solution today. Encourage growth and investment, and pump new money into our economy by temporarily suspending corporate taxes and capital gains taxes for one to two years.  Let the failed institutions go under and let free markets take care of the market corrections.  The market will recover, it always does. Our economy would be flush with new cash and would experience enormous growth if congress enacted the Limbaugh tax cut solution. 
 
Conservative solutions and principles are timeless and simple, yet brilliant.  Free our economy and the American spirit of entrepreneurship from the shackles of government and free markets will lead our country to unprecedented growth and prosperity.

Sarah America to the Rescue

A new champion of the conservative movement burst on the scene in St. Paul, Minnesota.  Articulating unabashed conservatism and good old fashion patriotism, Sarah Palin, Governor of the great state of Alaska electrified America and rallied the conservative base behind John McCain.  And not a moment too soon.
 
A governor who most Americans never heard of a week ago is now a household name.  Sarah Palin is intelligent, a gifted speaker, charismatic, witty, conservative, and a real person.  Poor little Barack Obama.  After the mainstream media mauled Sarah Palin and trashed her family for five days leading up to her historic speech, more Americans tuned in to watch her speech than Obama's acceptance speech.  The Democrats and the mainstream media are terrified of Sarah Palin because she is a real person who appeals to all mainstream Americans.  She is a working hockey mom who enjoys hunting and fishing! 
 
Her acceptance speech was the greatest political speech since the great Ronald Reagan.  With small town America appeal, Sarah Palin articulated conservative principles of limited government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and traditional values.  She spoke about the greatness of America, and really took it to Obama and the do nothing Democrats. When was the last time we heard a Republican leader speak like this?  Her speech was so refreshing.  Democrats only speak about how rotten they think America is. Their pathetic speeches are littered with bogus stories about sad sacks who can not survive in America. 
 
Sadly John McCain had to follow up Palin's historic speech with praise for Obama and more promises to reach across party lines and work with the communist Democrats.  Palin is the perfect running mate for a candidate who is reluctant to take it to Obama and the Democrats.  Conservatism wins every time it is tried in a national election.  Sarah Palin is a proud American, a proud conservative, and a rare political leader. 
 
Our next Vice President is a great American story who has achieved significant accomplishments as mayor of her hometown and as governor of Alaska. She opened more oil and natural gas resources for Alaska, fought corruption, eliminated wasteful spending, and balanced the budget. Palin is a leader who takes charge, not a timid politician who seeks consensus.
 
Thanks to Sarah America, the shinning city on a hill is about to shine a little brighter.

Are We Still a Government of the People by the People?

Abraham Lincoln famously stated we are a "government of the people by the people...".  Our Declaration of Independence states that "governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed".  Read those two historic passages again.  Does that sound like our government today? Our government is no longer servant of the people.  The people have become servants of an overreaching power hungry government that ignores the will of the people.
 
Today over 70% of Americans want to drill for oil in the United States to lower gas and heating oil prices.  But our government is obstructing our will and is insisting that we continue to pay more for gas at the pumps.  Politicians are restricting us from using our own natural resources and Americans are suffering.  We can not drill for more domestic oil and coal mining and exploring for more of our own abundant natural gas supplies are restricted by elected officials who are supposed to serve the people.  America has more coal than we can use but government restrictions force us to actually import coal. That is a crime.  Think about how many jobs are eliminated by energy policies that make no sense.
 
Congress has just passed a government bail out of the mortgage industry that President Bush will sign against the will of the people. Government created a housing and mortgage crisis by forcing lenders to loan money to people who did not qualify and were bad risks, and is now telling the taxpayers to pay for it.  Why should responsible people who are working hard to pay their own mortgages be forced pay for the mistakes of irresponsible people? This is not about fairness; this is about individual responsibility. 
 
The Democrat led congress is anti-business and creates policies that interfere with businesses through excessive regulation, creating red tape, and excessive taxes on businesses that employ people.  Big and small businesses are not embraced but demonized with charges of excessive profits and excessive CEO salaries. These hostile policies hurt our nation's job growth and prosperity.  But politicians do not care because obstructive policies such as these create more government power. 
 
Our elected officials are more interested in consolidating power than serving the people.  The McCain/Feingold bill and continued efforts to grant amnesty to illegal aliens are perfect examples.  McCain/Feingold is unconstitutional and is a violation of our free speech.  Yet congress voted for it, our president signed the bill into law, and our Supreme Court in a narrow majority found nothing wrong with the bill.  McCain/Feingold has nothing to do with taking money out of politics and everything to do with saving incumbent senate and house seats, and consolidating more power.
 
For the past five years the overwhelming majority of Americans have said no to amnesty and citizenship for illegal aliens who break our laws.  Yet our elected officials continue to scheme new ways to circumvent the will of the people. Politicians view illegal aliens who are supported with taxpayer funded government handouts as future voters.
 
Today you frequently hear Democrats such as Barack Obama speak of equality of results, social justice, economic justice, equal distribution of income, fairness, and balancing our needs with those of Europe.  This is not the advancement of freedom and liberty which our great nation was built on. This is communism and government abuse of power.
 
Our elected officials and our judiciary are stripping us of our individual freedoms and are imposing their radical agendas and policy preferences upon us.  Are congressmen obligated to represent the will of their constituents or impose their own preferences on those they are supposed to represent?  It seems to me that congressmen are obligated to represent the will of their district or face the consequences at the ballot box.  This November Americans have the opportunity to go out and vote and remind our elected officials that government derives their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Will America Fall Like the Roman Empire?

Will the outcome of the presidential race be the fall of America like the fall of the Roman Empire?  There are disturbing similarities between the fall of the Roman Empire and what is happening in America today. 

One of the main reasons the Roman Empire fell was that a high percentage of the Roman population were radicals who resented their own empire.  America is the freest and greatest nation in the world. We have the most opportunity to achieve prosperity and happiness, and live to our fullest potential.  But today, America is infested with citizens and immigrants (legal and illegal) who resent America and everything our great nation stands for. Radicals in our society are Liberals.  One of our political parties resents our individual freedoms, our institutions, our free market capitalist system, and our status as the greatest superpower in the world.  The Democrat party advances radical agendas that are opposed to our own security, freedom, sovereignty, prosperity, and economic growth.  
 
Today our institutions, traditions, unique culture, our language, and everything that makes America the greatest nation in the world are under assault; our Constitution, our individual freedoms, our sovereignty, God, our traditional morals and values, traditional families and marriage, our private property rights, our free market capitalist system, and our military who protect and defend our liberty and freedom.  Liberals do not appreciate our freedom and prosperity and view America as a threat to the world.  The Democrat Party has nothing but contempt for our military and has actively sought our defeat in the War on Terror for political gain. America has liberated millions of people and is the most caring, giving, and generous nation in the world.  We feed, cloth, protect, and care for the world.  American taxpayers give billions of dollars in aid and assistance to countries all over the world.  But Liberals view America not as the solution to the world's problems, but as the cause of the world's problems. Left wing nuts blame America for terrorism and blame Americans for Global Warming hysteria.  Global Warming is nothing but a left wing attack on our freedoms, prosperity, and our free market capitalist system.
 
Liberals resent the greatness of America.  The next time you are at a party or barbecue, ask people you know or suspect are Democrats what they love most about America.  You will be shocked at their responses or lack of responses.  If they have trouble answering or answer by criticizing America, you are talking to a Liberal who resents America!
  
The Democrat Party resents our individual freedom because freedom allows you to be free of the shackles of the state.   Slowly and surely our elected officials and radical federal judges have chipped away at our individual freedoms one by one.   Our private property rights have been violated, we are told we cannot smoke, and the government is telling us what we can and cannot eat.  Our Supreme Court and lower federal courts over step their authority and make a habit of overturning the will of the people by striking down laws they don't like that were passed by the people. Federal and state judges impose their radical policy preferences on America.  The Democrat party has been enormously successful at advancing their radical agenda that would never pass at the ballot box through the federal courts. Issues such as legalizing gay marriage and providing constitutional protections to terrorist have been forced on Americans against our will. According to Barack Obama, if he becomes president, he will not allow us to drive SUV's, eat whatever we want to eat, and use our energy as we see fit because the world won't like it.
 
Obama and the Democrat party resent our free market capitalist system because free markets allow people to achieve to their fullest potential.  This of course creates a system where some people will achieve more than others. Obama resents that.  In Obama's world there must be fairness and equality of results, and everyone must be in need to the government.  Those who achieve must be punished with higher taxation so others may be given more government handouts.
 
Our nation's sovereignty is under daily assault because our political leaders refuse to protect our borders, do not enforce our immigration laws, and do not require that immigrants assimilate to our culture, language, and way of life.  We are told that we must make accommodations to immigrants who do not speak English and who are offended by our culture and traditions.   Some Hispanics refuse to speak English and some Muslim groups preach their hatred of America at taxpayer funded Muslim schools and mosques.
 
Liberal extremists control colleges all across America where young students are indoctrinated in anti-American propaganda.  Sadly many of these students believe the crap their radical professors are preaching and go out into the real world hating America.  The Messiah Barack Obama is a product of what he was taught by radical professors. Obama is a naive appeaser who views America as a threat to the world and thinks diplomacy and concessions to rogue regimes such as Iran will solve the world's problems and eliminate the threat of terrorism to America and our allies.
 
The 2008 presidential election is one of the most important elections in our history.  The outcome could change America for the worse, forever.  Barack Obama is the most radical anti-American presidential candidate in our history.  Obama is a pure communist who resents our superpower status, individual freedoms, traditions and institutions, and our free market capitalist system.  Obama is ashamed of America and can't even bring himself to wear an American flag pin! 
 
Obama has accomplished nothing in his life that would indicate that he is even capable of being president of his community association.  Obama's career experience consists of nailing pamphlets to telephone poles in Chicago and then spending an arduous 140 plus days as a member of the US Senate where he has accomplished absolutely nothing.
 
Obama would be Jimmy Carter's second term and that would be a disaster America may never recover from.  Obama would surrender to the terrorists and his domestic policies would destroy our economy.  Like McCain, Obama supports cap and trade policies to combat phony Global Warming.  Cap and Trade policies will create negative growth and will ruin our economy.
 
Thirty years ago in the America we used to know, a radical like Obama would not last 2 days in the primary.  But today Obama is loved by the mainstream media and polls indicate that nearly half of the voting age population will vote for him in November (i.e. people who resent America). In the aftermath of 9/11, who would have imagined that 7 years later the Democrat nominee for president would be a radical who resents America, is friends with domestic terrorists, has sought our defeat in the War on Terror, and is sympathetic to our enemies who are state sponsors of terrorism?  Iran is arming themselves with nuclear weapons that they intend to use to destroy Israel and America and Obama does not take the threat they pose seriously.
 
Sadly John McCain is not much better than Obama.   McCain has made a career of supporting left wing causes and sponsoring horrible legislation that has been damaging to our country.  Bills such as McCain/Feingold and the failed McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill have caused incredible harm to America.  Fortunately the McCain/Lieberman Global Warming bill that would destroy our economy did not pass, but we have not heard the last from McCain on Global Warming.  McCain resents individuals who prosper, is clueless on basic economics, and his energy, immigration, and economic policies will ruin our economy and sovereignty. 
 
This fall we have a choice between an anti-American radical who will destroy America and an inept candidate who will harm our economy, prosperity, and sovereignty. People who vote for Obama are radicals who resent America or are clueless independents who do not pay attention to the issues.  At least with McCain we have a candidate who supports free trade, may resist out of control government spending, will maintain a strong national defense, and will not surrender in the War on Terror.   America cannot afford the carnage of an Obama presidency.  The night Ronald Reagan won the 1980 presidential election the late Senator Jesse Helms declared: "God has given America one more chance". If Obama wins in 2008, America may be out of chances forever.
