Last night's debate did it for me.
I thought Michelle Bachman was great. She is conservative, consistent, courageous,and courteous. Over the next four years she will provide excellent leadership to the Republican Party.
Newt was Newt. His description of Obama's failure to allow the pipeline from Canada was fantastic. His scorning of the whacko liberal judges was over the top but stimulating and refreshing. His defense of Fannie and Freddie was horrible. His defense of his $1.6m "consulting fees" was even worse.
Ron Paul was inspiring with his Libertarian domestic views and totally frightening with his view of the world and his isolationism.
And then there was Mitt. No screw ups. Great answers. Terrific temperance. And then he closed me with his philosophy of leadership.
Mitt said under Obama's leadership we were a declining nation and under his Presidency we would regain our position of leadership.
Post debate with Hannity, Mitt gave his formula for making the next century, America's Century. It follows:
"We need to make this century the American Century. It will require leadership in two critical areas to make that happen. The first input pertains to our nation's values and principles. Our values must be based on freedom and opportunity. Our society must return to a 'merit based' society, and it must be built around strong family units."
"The second requirement for American leadership is to restore an American economy that leads the world. The essentials include restoring a climate of innovation, entrepreneurship, and providing a business friendly environment."
Contrast this to Obama's recent tirades of condemning his Republican opposition for wanting to "go back" to those practices that got us in trouble (Obama hates the pre-Obama America). Obama's vision is clear. More government (taxpayer) spending on teacher's unions, more government (taxpayer) spending with construction unions, more government (taxpayer) spending with green energy cronies (Solyndra), higher taxes on job producers (the spending has to come from somewhere), and more government regulations and control (picking winners). These are the "new" reforms espoused by Obama that have worked so well over the last 3 years. In his view we just have not done enough spending, taxing, and regulating to assist his cronies and contributors (the governing class which is the real 1%).
Contrast that to "going back" to Romney's proven American values (freedom, opportunity, merit based outcomes, and striong families) and American economic leadership (business led innovation and entrepreneurship) with a government that gets out of the way of producers and encourages moochers to participate in the American dream. Just how difficult is this choice?
Mitt Romney was an effective counter balance to the Democratic controlled Massachusetts' legislature when he served as Governor. He was an effective CEO at Bain and Company and then at Bain Capital. He volunteered to rescue the 2002 US Winter Olympic organization and did a great job there. Given a Republican House and Senate I am convinced Romney can be trusted to return this country to it's rightful place of world leadership. I am also confidant he is the man to expose Barack Hussein Obama, and his Chicago style of corrupt politics, as the phony incompetent that he is.
Think about it,

Obama Calls For The Producers to Be Fair to the Moochers
"In Obama's speech yesterday he used the word 'fairness' about ten jillion times. Obama's idea of fairness is, I won, you lost, so I can take anything I want from you and give it to my people. Hell he took the largest automobile company in these United States from the share holders and gave it to the United Auto Workers while keeping some for his fat federal government. And what is sad, the American people didn't make a squeak about it. The Post Office is going to look well run compared to GM when the Obamas get through with it."
Using this attention grabber it is reported Butch Jackson launched into a tirade right there at coffee in the Hubbard City Cafe, "The Obama regime is running a major intelligence test on the American people here 11 months before the 2012 election. If the electorate fails this test, the socialists think they have clear sailing to four more years in the White House."
"The test goes like this. If Congress doesn't take action millions of the American middle class will suffer from a $1,500 tax increase on their payroll taxes. Obama asked why would the tax cutting Republicans block action to stop this tax increase. Of course he has the answer handy, because they want to protect millionaires and billionaires from paying their fair share of taxes by paying a small surtax on their income. If Obama can sell this garbage to the American voter, then he has clear sailing for 4 more years because he can play this rich against the middle class game over and over between now and next November."
Billy Roy tugged hard at the front brim of his hat while putting on his grimmest of many grim looks, "Butch, you may be on to something. I was looking at notes from Obama's Kansas speech yesterday where he was doing what these weird people call channeling, in this case Teddy Roosevelt. If you leap over all of his bullshit, which is a helluva big jump, I must say, Obama summarized his idiot pitch with three things: He said, 'Investing in things like education that give everybody a chance to succeed. A tax code that makes sure everybody pays their fair share. And laws that make sure everybody follows the rules. That’s what will transform our economy'. Let's break these words down. We he says 'transform' he is talking about making a too big federal government into an even larger European style socialist welfare state. He believes the Europeans current economic crisis is just that big governments and collectivism just haven't grown enough yet."
"Good exercise, BM. We all know an Obama 'investment' is SPENDING. The Socialists Libs think the only thing wrong with the almost $1 Trillion Stimulus Package was that it wasn't big enough. Obama in his summary picks out education for more investing to the delight of the teachers union. Our schools are spending jillions and our educational system just gets worse and worse. Included in these investments would be spending tax payer money for infrastructure (paying back construction unions) and for green energy which shovels taxpayer money to Obama's millionaire and billionaire contributors in the biggest scam in American history (Solyndra is only the tip of the iceberg). Bottom line, Obama's 'investments'are paying back his contributors who have put up a record $1 Billion for his re-election. Ironically these contributors consist mostly of labor unions thugs and rich fat cats who are mostly billionaires."
"Good insights, Butch. Let's break open Obama's new 'fair' tax code. Obama says if the rich would only pay their fair share and if we would make minor adjustments to Medicare (which he has never defined) that the $15 Trillion debt of this country would be taken care of 'long term' (meaning when he is long gone from office). Do millionaires pay their fair share? Well .2 of 1% of tax payers make over $1 Million. Yet they pay 21% of all taxes. The other 99.7% pay 79%. What do the Obamas think is fair for this way less than 1% of tax payers? Remember 50% of those on the tax rolls pay zero taxes, and many of these get tax rebates. Which is the biggest tax problem, .2 of 1% paying 21% or 50% paying no taxes? In the state of New York the top 1%, who the occupiers in the street are rioting against, pay 40% of all taxes collected. Clearly Obama's strategy is to invest (spend) NOW, tax middle and upper income folks (including small businesses and employers) NOW, and make moderate reductions to Medicare (after he leaves office). That's his tax reform and investment plan. Most of Obama's fat cats (like Goerge Soros, John Doerr, and Algore, and Warren Buffet) will not be effected by the tax increases because they take their income in Capital Gains from selling stock they have pumped up with big government's corrupted assistance."
"Right on, BM. You nailed it. That leaves the feds making laws that makes sure everyone follows the rules. Obama is talking mostly about financial regulations. He claims that Bush was weak on regulating Wall Street and that caused the financial collapse and recession. The truth is Barney Frank and his Washington cohorts working with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mack, and socialist activists pressured banks to make housing loans to low income and minorities. The banks were assured they were backed by Fannie and Freddie and were boycotted if they didn't make the loans. The banks in many cases created fraudulent transactions to make these loans to willing low income borrowers who thought it was there right for the government and rich banks to provide them a home. So who were the culprits so far in this scam? Socialist politicians, Fannie, Freddie, the banks, and the borrowers who locked arms in this act of thievery.
Who are the innocents who got screwed? The taxpayers. Over $700 Billion of taxpayer money was shoveled to the banks through TARP for a bailout. These are the same banks who fraudulently packaged these worthless mortgages and passed them around like a hot potato (by the way Warren Buffet made literally billions on the bailout). When the bubble bursts what did the Feds (Department of Justice) do about the fraud? NOTHING. Not one person has been tried for fraud. Meanwhile as 60 Minutes reported last Sunday, most of the execs in the banks that blew the whistle on corruption have been fired and silenced. So the biggest culprit of all is the Obama administration (the DOJ run by Erich Holder when he wasn't running his Fast and Furious debacle). Obama's grand plan is to create more laws instead of enforcing the laws on Obama's HUGE FAT CAT WALL STREET CONTRIBUTORS."
Billy Roy took on his summarizing posture, "So back to this Payroll Tax Trial balloon pitting the Rich against the Middle Class. A Payroll Tax is intended to go to the Social Security Trust Fund. That fund is currently in trouble to the sum of $5 Trillion. Any reductions in these taxes make the bankruptcy of Social Security come even sooner. Any honest person knows this is the last place we should be reducing tax collections. The Payroll Tax Holiday, if extended, would cost the Trust Fund about $200 Billion. What you never hear are things like 25% of government workers do not pay Payroll Taxes at all. If they did, it would source about $100 Billion to the Trust Fund. Why the hell aren't they talking about this instead of the stupid class warfare of rich against the middle class? This President of ours is a very mean and deceitful person who is only interested in his re-election. Let's just hope the folks get enlightened and don't fail this idiot test."
When Obama talks "investments", he is talking MORE BIG GOVERNMENT SPENDING. When Obama talks "fair taxing", he is talking income "REDISTRIBUTION FROM THE MIDDLE AND UPPER CLASS (PRODUCERS) TO THE MOOCHERS. When Obama talks "more laws", he is talking MORE BIG GOVERNMENT INTRUSION INTO FREE MARKETS AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS.
Think about it,
ANYBODY BUT OBAMA in 2012!!!!!!!

While Obama Fiddles Someone Is Blowing Up Iran's Nuclear Facilities
Today's news is all about diplomats being kicked out of the UK, France, and Iran. The real news is "under-reported". While Obama strives to get China and Russia (zero chance)to agree to meaningless economic sanctions on Iran something interesting is happening. The Jihad Watch and London Times have reported nuclear facilities in Iran have recently mysteriously exploded. Accident? Or canny Israeli self-defense? Either way, it's good news. "A second Iranian nuclear facility has exploded, as diplomatic tensions rise between the West and Tehran," by Sheera Frenkel for The Times, November 30
AN IRANIAN nuclear facility has been hit by a huge explosion, the second such blast in a month, prompting speculation that Tehran's military and atomic sites are under attack. Satellite imagery seen by The Times confirmed that a blast that rocked the city of Isfahan on Monday struck the uranium enrichment facility there, despite denials by Tehran.
The images clearly showed billowing smoke and destruction, negating Iranian claims yesterday that no such explosion had taken place. Israeli intelligence officials told The Times that there was "no doubt" that the blast struck the nuclear facilities at Isfahan and that it was "no accident".
The explosion at Iran's third-largest city came as satellite images emerged of the damage caused by one at a military base outside Tehran two weeks ago that killed about 30 members of the Revolutionary Guard, including General Hassan Moghaddam, the head of the Iranian missile defence program.
Iran claimed that the Tehran explosion occurred during testing on a new weapons system designed to strike at Israel. But several Israeli officials have confirmed that the blast was intentional and part of an effort to target Iran's nuclear weapons program.
On Monday, Isfahan residents reported a blast that shook tower blocks in the city at about 2.40pm and seeing a cloud of smoke rising over the nuclear facility on the edge of the city.
"This caused damage to the facilities in Isfahan, particularly to the elements we believe were involved in storage of raw materials," said one military intelligence source.
He would not confirm or deny Israel's involvement in the blast, instead saying that there were "many different parties looking to sabotage, stop or coerce Iran into stopping its nuclear weapons program".
Iran went into frantic denial yesterday as news of the explosion at Isfahan emerged. Alireza Zaker-Isfahani, the city's governor, claimed that the blast had been caused by a military exercise in the area but state-owned agencies in Tehran soon removed this story and issued a government denial that any explosion had taken place at all.
On Monday, Dan Meridor. the Israeli Intelligence Minister, said: "There are countries who impose economic sanctions and there are countries who act in other ways in dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat."
NO WONDER CHRIS CHRISTIE HAS LABELED OBAMA "THE BYSTANDER IN The OVAL OFFICE". Check out his comments this weekend.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ripped President Obama for the failure of the debt supercommittee calling the president "a bystander in the Oval Office" in comments Monday.
"I was angry this weekend, listening to the spin coming out of the administration, about the failure of the supercommittee, and that the president knew it was doomed for failure, so he didn't get involved. Well then what the hell are we paying you for?" Christie said in Camden, N.J. "It's doomed for failure so I'm not getting involved? Well, what have you been doing, exactly?"
Maybe a Gingrich/Christie ticket wouldn't be so bad. Axelrod would have his hands full with these two.

Marco Rubio Rocks!! David Axelrod and Newt, Not So Much!!
Marco Rubio appears to be the absolutely perfect running mate for a Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich in 2012. He rose to this position riding the Tea Party wave. He is bright, articulate, energetic, and reeks of credibility and humility. He claims he is not available in 2012. We should not accept his NO for an answer!
Marco is also absolutely spot on when it comes to the critical ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION issues of our time. He proposes a three step program:
1. Regain the confidence of the American people by securing and closing our borders to illegals. Also, enforce our laws against employers to prevent them from hiring illegals.
2. Rewrite and improve our current immigration laws and systems. They are dramatically broken. Rewrite our visa and guest worker provisions to make them more efficient and effective.
3. Then turn to the difficult issue of the 11-12 million illegals in the country today. This is the political quicksand that Gingrich jumped into last week, and most politicians are not prepared to address. Any issue this complex should be subjected to open debate led by rational and seasoned leadership. A Romney or Gingrich ticket with Rubio deeply involved would be the perfect team to find and codify the proper solutions.
One thing is clear. The solutions should result in LAWS that the executive branch enforces unlike recent administrations (Clinton, Bush, and Obama) who have brought shame to the US Constitution and the rule of law in this country with their neglect.
It seems to this feeble writer that Newt is brilliant about 90% of the time, and THEN a wire seems to come loose, and he takes a picture with Nancy Pelosi espousing global warming. Or, like last week, he takes on the cause of an illegal immigrant family of 25 years who pay their taxes, work hard, and break no laws (except the little immigration thing that nobody pays any attention to anyway). Meanwhile he doesn't say what he would do if they had just been here 20 years, or 10 years, or 2 years. This statement was uncalled for and has dominated the press ever since as they try to shoot down all Republican candidates. Meanwhile we have no idea what Obama's stated position is on any issue with the exception of taxing millionaires and billionaires. I also worry about the liberal press digging into Newt's income between the time he left office and today. Rumors have it that he made "many millions" during this period. And then there is Newt's personal life. What we know is bad. What the Obama mob will make up will be even worse. We shall see.
The worst the Dems have on Mitt so far is his flip flopping and no one has flip flopped more than the campaigning Obama and the elected Obama. Mitt has flipped from bad to good. For example pro-choice to pro-life. From socialized medicine to overturning Obamacare. From a lenient position on gays to a commitment to traditional marriage. While Obama's flips have all gone from good to bad. From bringing us together to demonizing white working people. From lowering healthcare costs and letting everyone keep their own policies to skyrocketing health care costs and forcing insurance companies to drop current programs. From being President of not blue America and not red America but of the United States of America to a President of occupiers, unions, and moochers.
Interestingly the Obama regime is already running negative flip flop commercials against Romney while not laying a hand on Newt, YET. These ads are mostly on social issues (abortion, marriage, etc.) in an attempt to convince the Republican voter that Mitt is not a true conservative. It is obvious that they want to run against Newt.
Obama's political guru, David Axelrod, only knows one thing. That is how to elect Black Mayors in large urban American cities. He has done it many times. Additionally his same tactics worked to elect a young unknown candidate against a very unattractive Hillary and her immoral husband in 2008. However with the Obama presidency resulting in the poorest record in the history of American politics, Axelrod has no choice but to launch a $1 billion campaign of pure filth and deceit beginning now and running through the 2012 election against the Republican candidate.
Axelrod's current attention, in addition to trying to influence the Republican race away from Romney, is to solidify the black voting base. That is why time and money is being spent to completely destroy Herman Cain. Axelrod has successfully used sex and sexual harrassment against Obama's opponents in all of his early elections. Throw up enough claims, whether true or false, and the typical voter will believe "where there is smoke there must be fire". It is a filthy, cruel, and un-American political tactic, and it is Axelrod's specialty. Axelrod foams at the mouth thinking of the attacks he can make against a Newt Gingrich presidential candidate in a head to head match up with Obama. If they can get the American people to believe that Cain has things in closets then they can convince the same public that Newt has things in warehouses. Remember the Libs have already discredited Newt once before, and they ran him out of Washington. The liberal news media can't wait to help do it again.
It is time for Republicans to drop the debates over issues. Any Republican candidate can beat Obama on the issues. It is time to get serious about the most electable conservative candidate. That would be the candidate that can best fight off the filthy character attacks of David Axelrod. At this time the best ticket is clearly ROMNEY/RUBIO.
Believe me, Axelrod has no shame. It is obvious and completely predictable how the Chicago mob will attack the Conservatives. And yet it works time and time again. Evidence? Today, Herman Cain is toast. The ethics and intelligence of the American electorate will continue to be severely tested. If the electorate does not respond to this challenge, the greatest country in history (you and I included) will join Herman Cain in the toaster.
Think about it, and it wouldn’t hurt to say a little prayer for Marco Rubio as well.

It is time for Republicans to drop the debates over issues. Any Republican candidate can beat Obama on the issues. It is time to get serious about the most electable conservative candidate. That would be the candidate that can best fight off the filthy character attacks of David Axelrod. At this time the best ticket is clearly ROMNEY/RUBIO.
Believe me, Axelrod has no shame. It is obvious and completely predictable how the Chicago mob will attack the Conservatives. And yet it works time and time again. Evidence? Today, Herman Cain is toast. The ethics and intelligence of the American electorate will continue to be severely tested. If the electorate does not respond to this challenge, the greatest country in history (you and I included) will join Herman Cain in the toaster.
Think about it, and it wouldn’t hurt to say a little prayer for Marco Rubio as well.

Whose Side Is BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA On?
Clearly most sane folks would agree the current greatest threat to Europe, the US, and the free world is Islamic Terrorism. To be more specific that would be radical Muslims who want to annihilate Israel and every other Christian or Jew in the world. Sane folks would agree that since 911 we have been involved in a WAR against these elements.
So how is the WAR going?
The Bush administration declared WAR not only on the terrorists but on any nation who harbored or supported them. We took out the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. We drove most of the Al Qaeda forces out of both countries. We initiated a counter insurgent surge in both countries to provide their new and fragile governments a fighting chance to survive.
We then elected BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA to continue our WAR. His first major non-event was to throw the revolutionaries in Iran under the bus by claiming we would "engage" the Iranian regime to convince them to be nice to demonstrators and to stop developing and threatening their neighbors (those friendly to the free world) with nuclear weapons. The outcome? Iran put down the demonstrators and is racing to become a nuclear power.
BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA then turned his attention to Iraq (what he called the bad war) and to Afghanistan (what he called the good war). In Iraq he is pulling out all US forces after offering to keep a token force there. The leaders in Iraq were smart to believe no US forces were better than an OBAMA led token force. This leaves the country and the third largest oil reserves in the world at the mercy of Iran and the militant Muslim Shiites. Our investment of lives and treasure appears to be for naught.
In Afghanistan BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is negotiating with the Taliban to return them to power after making a token effort at a surge. He also pulled out General Petraeus and other military leaders crippling the leadership of our war efforts.
Needless to say the militants throughout the Middle East have become emboldened by their comrade in arms BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA as evidenced by what OBAMA and his press called the Arab Spring.
First we had Egypt where mobs protested for "democratic" elections and the overthrow of a long time American ally (the primary player in providing peace with Israel), Hosni Mubarak. BARRACK HUSSEIN immediately called for his resignation. Remember in Iran our strategy was to engage the regime that is hostile to the US. Engage America's enemies? In Egypt just the opposite. Throw America's allies under the bus? As this blog goes to press the Muslim Brotherhood is preparing to take over Egypt, the largest and strongest country in the Middle East. It will be a typical Middle East Muslim driven election: one man, one vote, one time. Just like the democracy in Iran.
Then we joined our naive European friends to drive out and murder Qaddafi in Libya. He will be replaced by a Militant Muslim regime as well.
Tunisia, ditto. Replace a strong leader with a Militant Muslim Mob. Somalia is up for grabs as well. Other countries with "protests" include in Algeria, Yemen, Jordan, Bahrain, Mauritania, and Pakistan.
Is it clear to the most casual observer that BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA has consistently done the bidding of the Islamists, who wanted to preserve the regime in Iran and who wanted to remove the US friendly regimes in the other Middle East and North African countries. Why? What is his intent? Is it diabolical? Is it to weaken and destroy the US and free world leadership in the world? Or is he just incompetent making one foreign policy blunder after the next? Does it matter? The results are the same, and they are catastrophic.
And guess what? Polls show the American people give their highest ratings to OBAMA's foreign policy leadership. Why? Because we are weary of our involvement in the Middle East who controls 70% of the world's oil reserves. Half of the American voters think that oil comes out of the local gasoline pump---temporarily. That is until we harness the power of the sun and wind. Then everything will be OK.
BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA doesn't scare me. Militant Muslims don't scare me. The US electorate is what scares me.
Meanwhile BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA has mobilized less than 1% of the most worthless Americans (called occupiers) to declare WAR on successful tax paying Americans. He claims this worthless mob represents the 99% of Americans who want “social justice”.

Re-electing Obama Won't Hurt Much? Huh?
A moderate friend recently commented that if Obama is re-elected it will not hurt much since the Republicans will probably control the House and Senate after the 2012 elections. This friend's brain has gone really soft since nothing could be further from the truth. We folks traditionally have been fairly well protected from government when government was divided. Even Bill Clinton was fairly harmless with a Newt led Republican congress. In fact they even showed a surplus and reformed welfare (to some extent). But that was in the "old days" back when the President was not surrounded by Communists, and most politicians believed they had to abide by the U.S. Constitution. Neither of these is true anymore.
Today's White House resident can use his czars, agencies, and judges to destroy the American system, not to mention our way of life. Speaking of judges, what kind of judge do you think Obama will appoint to the Supreme Court? Short of impeachment, the Congress can do very little about Obama's appointees, czars, and agencies. And of course, the courts are packed with looney liberal judges.
Need evidence? Let's start with immigration and education, each harboring hugely important issues today.
Our Justice Department who is charged with protecting and defending our borders is somewhat distracted today. Eric Holder is fighting to avoid impeachment over his Fast and Furious perjury. However, he is not too busy to bring his third law suit against states who are trying to protect their borders and educational systems. On Friday "Justice" told Alabama's attorney general that it has the express authority to investigate potential federal civil rights violations in Alabama's public schools authorized by the state's controversial new immigration law. Civil rights violations? This claim is on top of the suit against Alabama over their recently passed law requiring school officials to insure that students are legal residents or legal immigrants. Justice argues the law unconstitutionally invades the federal government's exclusive authority over immigration. Alabama argues, like Arizona, that it would not have to pass such legislation if the Feds would do their job.
And now the Feds want to harass Alabama with claims they are violating the CIVIL RIGHTS of illegals. In their investigation, the Justice Department on Monday asked Alabama public schools for a list of all enrolled students as of Sept. 27, and a list of all students who have withdrawn from school since the academic year started. Obviously a witch hunt and purnishment for not abiding by the wishes of the Chicago Mob in Washington.
If this isn't scary enough, how about the Energy Department and energy czar? When Obama bailed out the auto industry they screwed every preferred and common shareholder of GM and Chrysler. People like you and I. They diluted their stock positions by giving stock to the labor unions, and of course, the feds took stock ownership as well. No problem. They were looking after the tax payers, right? Wrong! How about Solyndra? Here the Feds threw away over 1/2 of a Billion dollars of the tax payers money while putting the Solyndra shareholders (mostly venture capitalist friends of Obama) AHEAD of tax payers (they actually broke the law on this one). When Solyndra just auctioned some of their bankrupted assets the funds went to shareholders not taxpayers. In addition $13 million was used to pay management bonuses to keep them quiet. Why did they treat the Solyndra shareholders different than GM shareholders? Because Obama and crew are completely in bed with the "Green Crowd". Solyndra is just the tip of the ice berg of the "Green SCAM". There is still Billions of stimulus corruption to be uncovered with other green energy crony companies.
Think how the Environment Protection Agency will play God if Obama is re-elected. In the name of protecting us from dirty air and water and warming temperatures, they have license to destroy any organization and to favor others. And even the Agriculture Department just gave over $2 Billion to Black Farmers (these payments went to some people who have never seen a farm much less owned one).
Our Energy Department was created to make the US energy independent (how has that worked for you?). Instead they will spend four more years keeping American companies from exploring and producing American oil, gas, and coal while scamming the American taxpayer and consumer with all things green (Did you see this weekend that the Wind farms are interfering with military radar?).
Every agency (pick one) will have four more years to destroy our capitalist society and the freedoms that go with it. With probably more than one in five Americans un or under employed, and with debt of over $15 Trillion that's just what America's enemies can get really excited about. And our enemies call themselves the 99 PER CENT?
Please don't let anyone lull you into believing four more years won't hurt that much. Does anyone think a divided congress stopped Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Mao, or Chavez? No communist ever let the will of the people nor laws interfere with their takeover plans. This one won't either.

Our Generation Is Destroying Middle Class Producers
The Obama Socialist game is an old one. A game played time and again by Communists. Blame the rich for all problems and use the mobs (moochers) to revolt and disrupt, all the while claiming to be fighting for the middle class. Of course the "rich" doesn't include the "ruling elite". That would be people like George Soros, Algore, and cronies from companies like GE and Goldman Sachs. They readily join up with the Socialists in their quest for money, but mostly power.
The aim is to transfer absolute power to the ruling class while destroying the middle class by transferring their assets to the moochers.
Examples? Health care for one. The worst fears about Obamacare are now being realized in a decision on Monday by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MPAC) established by the law to supervise $500 billion in Medicare cuts (while Dems claim they will not touch Medicare). MPAC, whose decisions have the force of law, has voted to impose drastic pay cuts on all doctors under Medicare and, by extension, under Medicaid (which tends to follow suit). Obama's ruling board is passing down edicts that Specialists will have their Medicare (Obamacare) fees cut by 50% over the next ten years. General practitioners will take a 33% cut. Why? This is one way to pay for insurance for moochers (the poor uninsured). The largest cuts (25%) will come in the first three years. Obviously at least two things will happen, both bad. First, fewer bright people will become doctors. Secondly, the specialists (like oncologists and cardiologists) will quit treating Medicare (Obamacare) patients. The rich will continue to pay for their services, right? So who will be without specialized treatment? The middle class, of course. The moochers gain at the expense of the middle class.
What else? Education is being put through the same type drill. Mooching students who qualify by meeting government regulations are getting student loans up to $200,000 in many cases. Universities are dramatically raising their tuitions and fees because of these generous government loans. Students will be given up to 20 years to make token payments, and then all is forgiven. They are only required to make minimum payments during that period meaning the taxpayer will pay for most of the loans. So the Universities get paid in full in the first 4-5 years. The taxpayer (mostly middle class) pays the bill over the same period while receiving no financial assistance and having to pay the inflated college prices for their own children. The moocher spreads token payments over 20 years and then the balance is written off by the government. How large is the problem today? One trillion dollars is outstanding, one third of the nation’s total budget this year.
Remember the good old days when a middle class family's primary objective was to work hard, save money, and put their children through college. The Socialists are doing everything possible to convert broken families to moochers.
If health care and education are not personal enough, how about housing? Most experts agree the world's financial crisis is primarily the result of what they call a "housing bubble". We are told by Obama and his "occupiers", who are street mobs, that Wall Street greed was the problem. Many in the middle class have found that their home values have collapsed to the point that they owe more the current value of their homes. Why did this happen? Moochers were given "hot deals" to buy homes that they could not afford. Low interest rates with adjustable mortgages for the "sub-prime" buyer with plenty of homes to pick from since builders were enjoying low interest rates and readily available loans as well. The government assured bankers they were behind them with guarantees from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack (both of which went broke, were bailed out, and will never pay taxpayers back). Mobs would march on banks if they weren't responding to pressure from the government to make the loans. The banks unloaded the mortgages as best they could (who wouldn't?), and of course the bubble popped as they always do when you defy basic market principles. Obama's current solution is to spend another $35 Billion of taxpayer's money to FORCE banks (again) to refinance these bad loans to buy time and votes. Again the middle class (producers) suffer through an awful economy as moochers benefit with taxpayer funded bailouts.
If these schemes are too convoluted to follow let's take one that is a little more blatant. President Obama cheered Friday a federal judge who approved a $1.2 billion government settlement with black farmers who claim they were cheated out of loans and other assistance from the Agriculture Department over many years. Congress approved this payout one year ago. It comes on top of the initial payment of $1 billion paid to 16,000 black farmers. The second round was created to help those who missed the filing deadline on the first payment. Our leader made the following comment, "This agreement will provide overdue relief and justice to African American farmers, and bring us closer to the ideals of freedom and equality that this country was founded on." This scam comes right out of the pockets of the middle class who worked for their money and paid their taxes. All in the name of freedom and justice. Are you kidding me?
If these farmers were "cheated" who is going to be prosecuted and sent to jail? You know the answer. Not a soul because this is a scam that white, timid politically correct folks willl not challenge. Somehow taxpayers think this $2.2 Billion is not their money. They seem to think that it comes from someone else.
Who knows how many other scams will come from the Obama administration between now and 2012. Or imagine if the electorate gives him another four years after that. Here are four examples of Obama taking money from the hard working middle class taxpayer and giving it to the moocher who believes they have rights to free healthcare, free college educations, government assisted home ownership, and government handouts for being black. Every one of these programs was paid for with money that this government and nation does not have. It is a debt that our innocent children must pay.
While I truly believe the World War II vets were our best generation, I am equally convinced that the generation that followed and governs today is our WORST. I am sad to say that is my generation.
