For a guy who took over four months to decide on a dog, and still hasn't made a decision on a Church to attend he sure is in a hurry to push through his agenda.
Push, push, push! Let's push through more stimulus money. Let's push those Gitmo prisoners out into the world. Let's get Sotomayor pushed through. Push through more czars! Push GM into government takeover mode. Let's push through a universal health care plan.
What's the rush Prez Obama? If you can't decide on how to worship God, then why do we have to be rushed into accepting your agenda? These are important issues with huge pieces of legislation that needs to be read, discussed and voted on properly. What's the rush? Are you worried that someone might actually pay attention if you slow this down a bit?

Practice what you preach
We visited with a young family recently that are very big Al Gore fans. They argued that we all need to limit the size of vehicles, homes, etc. to help the planet go green. And, that the oil industry is a major pollutant of the planet. All the while we were debating these issues they had two vehicles sitting out front of a very nice home, a mini-van and a 4-door full sized pickup truck, which happened to be furnished by his oil field company which pays him big bucks!
I fully agree that we all need to become good stewards of this planet but swallowing Al Gore's hoax hook, line, and sinker is completely ludicrous. Especially since Al Gore owns something like 4 homes that suck down large amounts of power and natural gas. It's reported that his main home consumes more power in one month than an average home does in a year. And his pool uses $500 worth of natural gas a month!
Come on people. If you preach and truly believe, shouldn't you practice it as well?

Are you scared yet?
Come on, even if you voted for Obama, you must admit that you must be getting a little bit scared about the direction he is taking this country!
The first sign of a true dictator is to tell people what's really good for them because we probably aren't as smart as he is and he knows better. Green is good for us. Taking over private business is good for us. Cap and trade is good for us. Taking control of health care is good for us. Telling us what size car is good for us. Telling farmers what to plant is good for us. Telling us that we need to pay for abortions and birth control in other countries is good for us. Telling us to stay away from Vegas and not fly in private jets is good for us. Unions are good for us. Telling profitable businesses that they must close their doors is good for us. The list goes on and on and is getting longer every day!
Well, we can vote him out in four years, right? The day of free and fair elections is gone here in the good ole USA. The dems are making sure that illegals will have the "right" to vote and ACORN will continue in their arrogant ways. "Obama is good for us. We love Obama. Obama is good for us." Remember that clip?
We all need to pay more taxes on just about everything he can think of: cows emitting gas, cell phones provided by our employer, driving too many miles in our car, this list too, goes on and on. What are these taxes going for? Well, for Queen Pelosi to jet back and forth. For a Pres that can't stay in DC for more than 24 hours. For a "date night". For Barney Frank to hand out favors to his gay little friends.
Do I sound angry? You damn right. And are we going to do anything about this guy? This guy that says we are too arrogant, that we wave our little tea bags, and that we need to be more like Europe? Let's take our country back people!

It's time to de-throne Queen Pelosi
How much more can this woman get away with? Her prima-donna ways and lying is getting way too much. Nancy Pelosi thinks she is some kind of queen and expects everyone to give her a pass no what she says or does.
She lives on a double standard. This woman thinks she can tell corporate executives (and no I am not defending their excessiveness) that they should not be allowed to have corporate jets at their disposal but she can have do so at the taxpayers expense! Corporate America usually have offices throughout the country and world and several officers that utilize their jets. Time is money in corporate America.
Queen Pelosi thinks she is above traveling on commercial airlines and insists on having her own jet. And, she insists on having one of the most expensive jets the government uses. I could go on for hours on her excessiveness using tax payers money.
Now she is outright lying about her knowledge of "enhanced interrogation techniques". This woman has changed her story so many times about this one issue. It's not the first time she has lied but hopefully this time she has her feet held to the fire. This wouldn't even be an issue but she has been the one making such a big deal about the "torture" of those poor Gitmo detainees and has pushed to have the Bush adminstration prosecuted for doing the things that she knew about.
It's time to de-throne this liberal, money sucking, arrogant queen!

Retirement, what's that?
Well, if you work for, or have worked for, the big three car companies you have your retirement. As long as the unions keep sucking the life out of the car industry to pay retirement and health care benefits to everyone who ever worked for them for the rest of their lives they will need to keep stealing the taxpayers money to keep them solvent.
It's amazing to me that I have lost more than half of my retirement funds lately but these guys are guaranteed theirs and they made 3 times the wages of the ordinary American worker to top things off. Now our tax money has to keep bailing them out of trouble. Makes you sick doesn't it?
Why doesn't the government give the American taxpayer a big stimulus check ($15,000 or so) and let us go buy a new car if we want one? It's not solving the problem to just keep giving money to the car companies if no one is able to buy a new car! I would bet that the percentage of people that would buy a new car with a large stimulus check would be very high.
Common sense... Something Obama and the rest need a little more of, instead of tax money!

It's My Money and I Want It NOW!
If I were a citizen of California or Kansas I think that's what I would be yelling today. These states have overspent their budgets and guess who gets to pay for it? Of course, the taxpayers. Which is normal, right? But not in this circumstance it shouldn't be.
We have always been told that if you owe the government taxes then it is NOT your money to spend. If you do and can't pay your taxes then you can be prosecuted by the law. We have been in the position where we couldn't always pay our bills but do you think we could have used our income tax money to pay them? Nope.
Does this money belong to the State? No. It belongs to those people who have overpaid their taxes and deserve a refund. Wouldn't we be prosecuted if we tried to keep money that belonged to someone else?
I think if I lived in a State that did this I would do what most illegals do, put 9 dependants on my I9! That's how they get out of paying taxes on their income.
And that brings up the point that maybe California is suffering so much because of all of the illegals in their state. Some would claim that they pay taxes when they work. I beg to differ on that point. Most will claim 6 to 9 dependants, even 18 year olds! So therefore they don't pay any taxes but they qualify for all of the government assistance programs available and they know how to get it!

One little, two little, three little...
I love kids just as much as the next mom but I sure wonder about this woman! A single woman, who has filed bankruptcy, who has lived off of disability, and who lives with her parents has just had octuplets through invitro. Her other six kids were also invitro. Why? She loves babies... I would think that if you loved and wanted lots of kids then maybe adoption would have been a better option.
But, this doesn't all bug me as much as the the thought of who is going to pay for all of this? That's pretty well a no-brainer. The tax payer of course. I think she was hoping for lots of offers from baby companies, etc but they have kept their distance on this one.
Is she capable of giving these kids a good home? Sure, I know a family from Mud Lake that raised a huge family in a two bedroom basement home and they all turned out well. They had both parents and even though they didn't have much you never felt like the kids were neglected. I'm also pretty sure that the parents didn't expect handouts for their family.
I think that if a woman expects the government to pay for her kids then maybe there should be a limit. She can have as many as she wants but there should be a cutoff of payments for more than four kids or something like that. Too many women are making a "career" of having kids and then living off of welfare. It's just too bad that the kids are the ones that suffer from these situations. Where is personal accountability from these people?
I guess that as long as we are a society that feels guilty for every supposed wrong that someone flings at us we won't figure out that giving handouts is not the way to salve our conscience.
