Barack is fumbling, stumbling, falling down…


Barack is a man who is stumbling hard, like a drunk. His campaign is pretty much self destructing in a manner I did not expect but am pleased to see.

Liberals take heed. This is something you should feel alarmed about.

First there is gas prices. By vetoing the Keystone XL pipeline, as well as easy proof he has blocked permits on Federal lands and especially the Gulf of Mexico, has created a viewpoint that he is uncaring about the price people pay at the pump.

Obama is trying to ride a wave of successful private and State land drilling… but as pump prices rise ever higher this will be seen for what it is… a lie.

Next we have coal power. Until recently coal power was on the Presidents ‘kill on sight’ list with his famous quote “Electric prices will necessarily have to sky rocket”. His EPA passed harsh requirements which will prevent new Coal fired Power plants from opening and is designed to ultimately shut all of them down. Several have shut down already in fact.

Then someone in his staff saw three States he won by narrow margins… are huge on coal power. These battle ground States will carve him up and serve the Presidency to Romney. So suddenly on the Obama power chart “Clean Coal” replaces “Fuel Efficiency”. Good luck with that… coal miners, power plant workers and people now seeing their power bills rise have been hearing this for three years.

North Carolina was supposed to be a smart choice… a State they marginally won that could be influenced to turn to the Democrats… or at least that was the argument. So far there has been a scandal over exclusively hiring out of State union workers for some of the stuff, a gay sex scandal involving the committee chairperson (who resigned in shame and was voted back in by loyal cronies at the State level… much to the humiliation of many Dems)….

Where was I… oh yeah… the State overwhelmingly passed the day before his outing himself a No Gay Marriage law (a very strict one at that), the Unions are pissed at him for choosing a Right to Work State (even with them getting some exclusive contracts), he is short by 30 million dollars for the Convention, he booted out ‘lobbyists’ and ‘corporations’ from donating to it in a very public way… only to have organizers provide back doors, he is renting the “Bank of America” properties which pisses off his 99% followers, they were forced to cut from 5 days to 3 days due to lack of funds, and… oh my this list is getting long… some businesses want to not be involved and are being public about it.

So did you hear the Presidents Gay? No seriously… there is a guy who was once chums with Obama who claims he and Baracky boy had fun times in the backs of cars together. But then Barack recently said he is pro-gay marriage. Amazing choice huh?

Only the problem here is Joe “the wonderboy” Biden seems to have sucker punched Barack so he might have a better chance in 2016 of getting elected (hahahahahahahah). Barack had been walking a very tight rope avoiding a direct response but seeming to ‘care’ about the issue. Most strategists agree that Biden forced the issue (thanks to NBC) and Barack was cornered like a rat so had an amazing coming out and supporting gays (which is going to get him as much as 50 mil imho).

The problem is that it loses him a lot of votes. First it reaffirms to the religious that he cares not for their values (see attacks upon Christianity below), second most black voters do not hold this view, third most States (35 IRC) have made Constitutional Amendments or Laws banning gay marriage, some by huge landslides, and fourth a super majority of the population feels he did it for political reasons and not because he actually cares about the issue. Including coincidentally some battle ground States. Oops!

Unemployment ‘looks down’ but feels up. Why is this? Well it is because the huge number of people who ran out of their 99 weeks and quit looking for work. Add in the underemployed and the underpaid and actual unemployment is hovering near 16%. Each unemployed person has to wonder if Mitt can get them working again successfully. The polls show most people are uncomfortable with how Obama has handled the Economy.

Attacks on Christians… a strategic blunder if I ever saw one. Obama gave an exemption for Muslims on the issue of Abortificants, Birth Control, and similar ‘trouble stuff’. This nation is highly Catholic, and a LOT of Universities, Private Schools, Hospitals, and Donation Centers are Catholic based. His actions have shown he HATES the Catholic Church despite Catholic voters being a big source of his 2008 win. A 3% shift in how they vote will lose the election for him.

But his troubles do not stop there. The LGBT groups singled out Mormon churches for the no Gay Marriage law passed in California (2008 I think) and the Mormons remember that. Obama just put his *censored* into the subject and now they will lockstep with Mitt on the issue. Mitt gains the Mormons and a larger amount of Catholics than he should have.

But wait we are not done yet! In 2010 and 2011 the Jewish community started showing they are upset with the Democrats as well. Normally this group is considered attached to the Democrat hip… but they kicked a New York politician for the Dems to the curb in an astonishing upset. That they are switching sides has gone uncommented upon as of yet, but the truth is they are changing sides in large divots.

Unions…. wow…. Keystone XL, Coal Mines, Trucking Regulations, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and more. Obama may have lost some serious support from the Unions. No wait… he has lost a lot of support from the Unions. Oh they say they are together in bed and such… but Obama won’t aid the Unions, and the Unions have stopped aiding Obama.

Worse is the membership in Unions. The number of volunteers is way down and the various fights at the State level have sucked funds from them. In fact when a State becomes Right to Work the Public Employee union rolls typicallly drop to under 20%.

The 99% was supposed to be the left’s answer for the Tea Party (after the Coffee Party fell asleep at the wheel and died). Obama and many top Democrats quickly endorsed them and support came hard and fast from the left. Only to have thes people defecate on cop cars, graffiti land marks, stink up parks and neighboring businesses, and otherwise make the life of people around them miserable.

Crime rates went up, acts of violence against the cops kept happening, a bomb plot involving several bridges was foiled, and other really nasty stuff was uncovered. They also were bigoted, racist remarkably white in nature, and asked rape victims to take one for the team.

Stock Markets… Obama went and did his GM thing which when he seized some of the ownership from investors and gave it to the Union… cooled a lot of them to Obama for fear he would seize assets of theirs as well. His diatribes against them, that stupid super audit bill, and his choosing to scare monger over-sea’s money further iced the relationship. Obama raked in money from them in 2008… Now he gets a trickle. Of course two of his bff’s Chris Dodd and Barney Franks had nothing to do with that.

In fact recently in April Obama lost a lot of fundraising revenue compared to March. Turns out that the consensus is this is bankers turning their aid to Mitt Romney. Apparently J.P. Morgan is now best chums with Mitt.

Campaign staff is usually not a big issue… but Obama is spending fistfuls of money on his huge staff… and this started way early. His spending here is out of control and has been eating more than he brings in. Yes he had a decent sized bank account to absorb the losses…. but that is depleting fast.

On the subject of staff he has had several problems with how he treats women. His staffers earn far less if female than if male, are typically kept at positions lower than their skill range and it has been noticed. Additionally he has taken heat for a staffers attack on Anne Romney being a stay at home mom. This was damaging to many of his soccer mom votes.

But wait… the hatred of feminists does not stop there. He accepted into his PAC a million dollar donation from a man who routinely is abusive in the extreme about women. His campaign just found some bad news this week about how he is percieved by women…. for the first time since possibly Reagan, probably before that, a Republican Candidate is polling higher for single women than the Democrat candidate. This poll was done by a liberal news source.

Obama has lost a lot of support of students as well. Most show signs of disillusionment with the President. A popular quote is “He had two year where he could do anything. Instead he passed a healthcare law less radical than the one proposed by Nixon”.

His Healthcare law did not win him points either. A majority of the nation wants it REPEALED, not amended but REPEALED. His signature ‘achievement’ is due to collapse via the Supreme Court.

Worse are the holes inside of it. Aka the black hole that would suck all our money into it, the gaps developing in Medicare/Medicaid coverage, the holes in our new technology, the holes which represent lost jobs as the taxes on hardware manufacturers goes on. To many holes for him to fill.

Obama has not been good on the Internet either. Truth Squad’s, Julia, failures to get Twitter hits, and more. His internet campaign is being ridiculed by an internet empowered right and we own Twitter… as in he launches a campaign thing there, in less than 20 minutes it is completely shot down and ruined.

Oh then there is his Presidency staffers. Chu, Napolitano, and others each have their scandal. Chu backed $9.00 a gallon gasoline and other hard environmental left stances. Then there is the TSA grope sessions, Fast and Furious deaths, Solyndria Loans, recess appointments when Congress was not in Recess, and more. So much more. One of his staffers is in Right Wing news almost daily in a light he should be worried about.

Then there is his commercials. I quote myself here “Really? WTF is his staff smoking”. I hope they have a half years supply because their commercials are all easily crushed with counter commercials.

Now to quote a section of a post from a famous blogger:

I mean, yes: we’ve had it noted that Obama only racked up 59.4% of the West Virginia primary vote; 80.9% of New Hampshire’s; and 79.2% of North Carolina’s. But here are some other primary race vote totals, thus far (all via The Green Papers): Rhode Island, 83.4%. Louisiana, 76.5%. Alabama, 80.8%. Massachusetts, 81.2%, Oklahoma, 57.1%. To give you a baseline… if you remove places like American Samoa or Guam, if I read this right in 2004 George Bush never dipped below 89.5% (Idaho) of the primary vote in states he won and 79.6% (New Hampshire) in states that he didn’t. Other states of note in 2004, to give you an idea: Alabama, 92.8%. Kentucky, 92.5%. Massachusetts, 90.6%. Rhode Island, 84.9%.

From Moe Lane’s post here

What that shows is Obama cannot get people motivated AND many are actually upset. There is word an Open Primary State might actually give a Democrat other than Barack the win…

The fundraising part bears attention. Typically a Presidential candidate offers assistance for some campaigns from what I read. But Obama rejected Wisconsin Democrats and has rejected the Wisconsin Unions AND rejected the DNC as well from requests they made for funds. In a parallel the Unions have balked at aiding Barack. Obama is trying to win even if it costs him many congressional battles.

Barack has been living it up as well. He has golfed… well I understand it as… more than any President ever has even when they had two terms. The parties are also quite… numerous… and Michelle just loves to take a huge entourage along with her to vacations on tax payer dimes… This flies in the face of the sick, the hungry, the unemployed, those with Staycations, and those who hate such luxurious activities. Live it up Michelle!

Immigration has proved to be a two edged sword for Obama. He promotes this DREAM via executive fiat that pisses the right off… while he removes more illegal immigrants than Bush which pisses the left off. He fell hard on that sword.

I close with a talk of disclosure. Obama is less transparent than he says he is which is less than he campaigned to be. He and his staff avoid answering questions as much as they can to the media. He and his staff do not give information to Congress except when forced to. He and his staff do their best to hide damaging information by breaking it in chunks and releasing it in an avalanche of other documents on a Friday afternoon.

In fact there is an alarming level of lack of accountability on various programs and departments and the public feels it.

Bill Clinton himself said that Barack is running an amateur campaign.

I feel Barack is burying his party for us… he will lose the Presidency, his self centered efforts will result in losses in the House and Senate, and the effects will be felt for at least a decade. He will also go down in history as one of the five worst Presidents for sure, if not the worst when angry liberals turn on him.


The Individual Mandate was not the only such effort by Obama


Obama declared war on Truck Drivers

In a new regulation put out by the Department of Transportation (a while back in fact) truckers were going to have to put a device to track them in every truck. Obama’s DoT specifically singled out several providers of such devices (Read Cronyism) as appropriate vendors. All trucks were going to need these devices installed.

DoT said the reason was safety. However, as records indicate, Trucking has only gotten safer in the more recent years and is still proceeding on a down-ward spiral into less accidents. In fact the level is something that if it was a stock would indicate a mass sell off and a soon to be dead company! Trucking is currently safer than it ever has been in the History of the United States

These devices, commonly known by the first provider…. Qualcomm’s… would track all drivers and allow companies the ability to send messages. The system is quite expensive (A typical word can cost a dollar). The idea was to force electronic logging of driving time on drivers. However the need for such is not really there. There is a program to mandate it on companies with a lot of log book violations, which I endorse, but this regulation would put all drivers on the log and make things… difficult.

Some drivers have never used a computer in their lives. Others are finding it hard when they are asked by a company to operate the different functions of the electronic logs. However we got lucky. A lawsuit succeeded in Federal Court to stop Obama from proceeding. While specious in my opinion, it is with merit. The reason given was that trucking company dispatchers could ‘harass’ a driver with the devices (This in fact can and does happen). But Obama wont let this stop him. He has a history of not letting go of his ideas.

This unfortunately fits a pattern for Obama as he is truly attacking American Drivers. As seen on my website http://michaelharrington.org/nafta/ Obama and his policies will cost American drivers up to 600,000 jobs.

WORSE is yet on the horizon as well, as over half a million small businesses (Truck drivers who own their own trucks) could close (aka lose their trucks) due to high Diesel prices thanks to policies Obama has forced upon the oil industry as much as he can. Yes this is a guess by me, but based on the previous fuel problems we had under Bush the number may be spot on. Truck drivers who do not have a fuel adjustment built into their contract of some sort are reporting a loss of 75% of their take home income. You heard that right… Drivers who used to take home $2,000 a month to pay their mortgage, to pay electric bills, to give their children clothes and such…. are now earning $500 a month in take home pay. How would you live with 25% of your current pay?

Society seems ignorant of the plight of American Truck Drivers, and the true test on our economy will start this summer. Gasoline and Diesel prices will be followed closely by sky rocketing prices on goods at the store. When Gasoline prices keep rising past what economists estimated… you know the reason why is that less truck drivers are able to deliver fuel at a competitive rate and less trucks are available to deliver the fuel. There is a saying you will see on some trucks: “Trucks, we bring good stuff”. Well the goods will be stopped in some cases for lack of means to move it.

Obama is not stopping with NAFTA, Electronic Logs, or CSA2010 either. No… He has pushed our trucks into “Green Machines” and keeps mandating new standards. It is a sad fact that a modern Semi-Truck takes in dirtier air than the air it puts out the smoke stack. This has only increased the average cost of a Semi-Truck to 125% of what it used to be. Yes Obama has carried out his dream of “Green” on trucks, though his efforts to force car drivers to buy the more expensive Chevy Volts has faltered.

Hear our plea, here our cries for help. Support trucking, call a member of congress, or even donate today to the cause.

America lives on trucking

Do you want to outspend Obama?


Obama may spend 2 billion thanks to Super PAC’s

No one has said as much, but consider that the left is desperate, the Super PAC’s have changed the game, and Soro’s and such may go all in.

That part is just my 0.02 dollars

So what can we do about it?

We can argue over the current crop of candidates, all of which are bloodied and limping, or we can push for a brokered convention.

In a brokered convention there is a chance for one candidate to get max donations from everyone following that person, a chance for Super PAC’s supporting that candidate to get flushed full of money, for a rapid organization of infrastructure as ever could be seen, and volunteers who would be more fanatical than RonPaulBots (but in a good sort of way)

That Candidate is:

Sarah Palin

Let’s face it… she woo’s the crowd where-ever she goes. She has supporters aplenty even to make Ron Paul look weak, she has an established staff, name recognition, and more.

She can be our hope in these trying times, she can be the one that we all can unite around, and the one we can name MADAM PRESIDENT.


Conservative Candidates and Languages


As a candidate myself, I have noticed that despite reality, we do not often enough pay attention to bilingual minorities or to those who do not speak English.

In fact in chagrin I plan a Spanish page on my own website after thinking deeper about this.

I had thought of this a while ago, and intended to try to push for us to not just get a person to write for us, but for every candidate to be able to passably speak and write a different language.

The value of knowing how to speak to minorities in their language is an amazing boost to the votes you can get from that group.

I believe Bush, a moderate, won due to his outreach in Spanish to Spanish Speakers. Every edge counts!

We Conservatives are correct in wanting to give everyone the gift of a single language, as studies show if you fluently speak and write English you earn more than otherwise (Statistically speaking).

But we also then ignore those who have trouble with languages, who feel they are to old to learn a new language, those who are deaf, and those the Democrats supress by placing them in ‘native language’ classes.

Lets not kid ourselves… legal immigrants are very staunchly pro-American, let us channel this for Conservative values.

To that end, finally, in January I started learning Tagalog (The Filipino language).

Having examined language programs I found one that can work for my schedule. I am not associated in anyway with, but just use a paid for copy, of an app called LLingo, which you can choose from dozens of languages.

Of course there is Rosetta Stone and others.

This is something we as an ideology need to incorporate into our structure. Being bilingual is not a chore, not useful…. but a necessity for stopping the tide of liberalism.

As always this is just my .02 cents.


Are you a Tea Party Not For Profit?

If you have been suddenly sprung with an IRS request for information Since December then please email me your State, email, and the name of your Not For Profit.

I will forward this information over.

I call upon all Conservative Talk Shows to drop Carbonite…


Yes let us have a full Conservative black out on Carbonite and all companies that have a ditched Limbaugh.

Lets shut them all down and make them realize we are the driving force of their economy not the other way around!

Carbonite in particular is antiquated, lived by advertising on Conservative Talk Shows, now they can die by Conservative Talk Shows.

I will buy Mozy or Drop Box instead of Carbonite.

When Mr. Friendship offers to pay 30% more to each talk show, cease donating to Liberals, and donate to Conservatives he can have another chance, but not until then!


Debunking Global Warming – A Tool


Man made Global Warming (AGW) is false.

 

In fact it was so one sided once people started looking at evidence the profiteers started calling it Climate Change.

Now I have studied the issue at length. I know all the claims, many of the major players, and I have determined it is all false. I have had this view point from 2003 I believe. Now I use www.surfacestations.org as a primary evidence site. This  compilation site is tl;dr for 99.9% of the worlds population, but if you want access to a sorted list of evidences then read on! When I feel like mocking I use www.wattsupwiththat.com. Let me make this clear, I have no degree, no accreditation, no published papers on the topic. This is evidence laymen can find, and for the most part understand.

I am opinionated. After studying the evidence I cannot sit idly by. Some players I save my largest scorn for are CRU, the EPA, and NOAA. These organizations need 100% of their funding removed, their ‘champions’ banned from ANY Government funds forever, and need prison terms unless they can pay back the damages they have caused. That’s just my opinion. But please do read on.

Now what the AGW crowd says is warming is happening, carbon dioxide levels are rising, ergo correlation equal causation. Climate Change re-branders try several claims but the ‘strongest’ in my view is that the variability is due to heating of the oceans, changes in the currents (air and wind), all due to carbon dioxide (and a little bit to some other specific gases).

To which some laymen will tell you temperatures have flat-lined while carbon dioxide levels have increased. They are only partially correct. The truth is temperatures have dropped but the AGW and CC crowds are trying to hide that. A good tool to them is using models for area’s not covered by monitoring equipment. This practice is only increasing, via the removal of stations. There is the problem of local reporting stations that are not part of their ‘network’ but they make a variety of reasons for why they do not use that data.

Problems have arisen for the AGW crowd, such as evidence the oceans are not following models at all, that the upper atmosphere is colder than it is supposed to be, that the lower atmosphere is colder than it is supposed to be (source for all three here is NASA). Things are always being debunked that they try to bring up. Their models always have to much heat.

Then there is the issue of Modeling their works. They cannot get a single model to work.

I will say… one model actually works, but it debunks AGW and CC.

That model is Farmers Almanac.

Now before CERN did their science experiment I was following a scientist who claimed Cosmic Radiation was the largest outside influence after the sun, and that water molecules was the only real issue in the atmosphere. CERN reinforced he was correct with a large experiment that mimicked the Earth’s atmosphere.

In short here is an explanation of the real influences on the Earth temperatures,

The Sun (and Jupiter to an extent) has a magnetic field which repulses Cosmic Radiation. This field varies in strength according the the ‘currents‘ in the Sun. This field as said stops some Cosmic Radiation, but not all, and the amount varies as per a variance in the amount coming from without and with the variability of the Sun’s magnetic field.

Now when Cosmic Radiation hits the atmosphere it binds water molecules into cloud formations (they are not the only component, but they are the primary component). Now if water vapor remains as water vapor it absorbs heat (much more so than Carbon Dioxide ever can claim) and keeps it in the atmosphere. If it forms clouds then it redirects sunlight (and heat) back out into space.

Then we have history to use against AGW and CC arguments.

Historically there has been wide, stress WIDE, variations in the temperature of the Earth. There have been periods where grapes where grown in England, and times when Ice Ages covered the Earth. The dinosaurs might testify to that fact, if we can just subpena one.

In fact there is proof that the Carbon Dioxide claims they have done is wildly wrong including ice cores. If Ice Cores are removed from the equation, then Carbon Dioxide levels are pretty much stationary.

As well as those two facts there is proof temperature and carbon dioxide were not correlated (sometimes same time, sometimes not) together in the historic past. Some scientists point to the Maunder Minimum, and try to use this to identify causation as well. Of course there is some conspiracy theory… for instance a variation of Planet X has it that a giant dust storm is headed our way and this will put Earth through an ice age… but meh.

History helps me claims further. In fact strongly so. Go to a library and you will find that Greenland is not melting away. Honestly! Read it here for instance. Or one could just dig up some old junk like this! Or if you prefer there is a nice home here.

So where did this hysteria, this lie start?

I did my best to try to discern when this all started. This is the result of my studies.

It started when Earth First, Elf, Alf, and similar groups won by falsifying evidence in Oregon. They put dead Spotted Owls in Old Growth tree’s as an effort to protect Old Growth from logging. They succeeded in this because there was not many who could, or would, map out the living habitat of an animal. In truth the Spotted Owl lives in Christmas Tree sized growth, and by limiting logging and replanting… ironically… we are limiting the living habitat (by fighting forest fires) of the Spotted Owl. (I can attest to this via knowing the history of the Spotted Owl)

Flush with success in using a lie, they continued using lies to try to get their agenda. Their next target was glaciers (insofar as I know of). They claimed a number of glaciers were shrinking. Some of there claims were dismissed as evidence at the time showed no such thing was happening. The claims gave a variety of reasons, the strongest being acid rain. Well strongest at the time.

Of course science has caught up, and seems few glaciers are shrinking, that a new one may be forming in Washington, and that a lot of lying has happened. But I digress…

Then there was the “Ozone Hole” which started Climate Science in earnest. They started recording all sorts of things at a new hyper scale.

One result of this was a sudden tracking of ice bergs as they formed, and not just when they were in danger of entering shipping lanes. This information, and others lead to a dubious claim…

THE EARTH IS WARMING (Cooling)!

Using the new data sets they had gathered, and where no data existed ‘forcing‘ results from other data, and of course mixing in all their lies in one melting pot resulted in AGW.

During these events more and more Universities were starting climate science programs and the worries got them funding. This funding got higher and higher. To validate their jobs they MUST say that bad things are happening. After all if they sound an ‘all clear’ then most of their jobs go away. AGW almost started at the right time. There was a minor stretch of warmer years where each year in a row was warmer. But the amount was very much so within natural variance. This however did not stop them.

They set out to discredit any opposers from the start, which is a Saul Alinsky model… attack the person and you destroy their efforts. They also set up to coordinate, at a deep level, from the start. This gave them the time to get politicians and news reporters on board. This lie had to be pushed, pushed hard, and any issues glossed, or painted, over. By now legitimate scientists were noticing the money involved and tried to do research as well. But they found the errors were to much, and when they talked to a core person, they got attacked.

This started the resistance.

Out came the hockey stick, out came Al Gore’s true (fictional) movie, out came other clearly dubious claims. With this the resistance grew. I joined the resistance sometime in 2003.

At first the resistance was fragmented, our voices unheard, with no leadership. Then some of the more financially stable and/or smarter ones set up clearinghouses for information.

This is when the resistance started winning.

  • The first blow was real evidence that they were wrong.
  • A showing of models that all failed.
  • It was a landslide that some tried to ignore.

The enemy of our enemy then published emails from CRU (Twice no less!) and other facts started leaking from the Great Wall of Environmentalism. The end is near for AGW, and CC.

If you read this and you do not believe their religion, then you are now part of the resistance!


The American Truckers Plight


American Trucking

American trucking would qualify as a threatened species if we were an animal.

In the next few years this group, which is currently short drivers as it stands, will lose more than 10% not through attrition, but through regulations and subsidized competition.

It is pretty bad when under NAFTA it will be cheaper to move cargo as far as 90 miles North of the Mexican border to Mexico first, and then drive it as far as 600 miles in.

It is sad that it could become Mexico that ships a lot of our goods as well, since it would be cheaper by 30% to have goods hauled 600 miles to a Mexican port than 600 miles to an American port.

The plight of American trucking may be the only thing to unite the Teamsters Union with Republicans. So severe is the damage that my estimate is NAFTA may ultimately cost America 500,000 jobs. Tied with the damages happening due to new Department of Transportation rules and a minimum of 10% of American trucking jobs will be lost.

It would be bad enough if this was the only assault going on right now… but it is not. New rules on emissions have increased the cost of a new truck as high as 125%, cities and counties strapped for cash are pulling trucks over more often due to the higher ticket payouts trucks generate, new regulations make for less pay, new requirements make independent drivers face impossible to continue being independent, and so forth.

We are under a full assault, and we are losing.

Truckers are aware of what is happening, but the general public is mostly unaware. Talks of boycotts keep climbing from drivers… wether denying certain cities goods or with a rolling roadblock effort… the talk is getting grimmer in truck stops.

However those efforts would fail, ultimately because the affected cities would get goods anyways, the roadblocking trucks would get hefty tickets they could ill afford to pay.

Our only two hopes are for the public to hear us, or for politicians to hear us.

If you, reading this today, emailed this to ten others, you can do you part to save 600,000 jobs. Bring awareness, bring stability, bring back common sense! Thank you for your time.

P.S. another way you can help is to donate to my campaign, a donation of $5, $10, $15, or $20 can go a long ways to helping my campaign to help truckers. In Oregon ANYONE can contribute, and in any amount they wish to do so. Click here to donate

Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity are failures and wrong.


I love math, but Statistics is my true love.

Statistics plays a lot in everything you do, and everything around us.

Statistics do not lie. Humans do.

A famous quote goes “There are lies, damned lies, and statistics”

Proof that lies happen… there are more women than men, and more white women than white men. Yet women are considered a minority…

So when i saw that the SCOTUS was going to review Affirmative Action I grew excited (source).

Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity are nightmares.

The supposed goal of one is to prevent abuse of minorities.. the other is supposed to give opportunities to minors who would not otherwise have earned them. Or did I flip that?

Regardless what we have is a system neither representational nor fair.

Oh the lefties will bring out math to try to say it is representational, and emotions to say it is fair…

But let me break this problem down.

In Chicago there is whole areas filled with only “African Americans”, in some areas of California there are whole counties filled with “Latino Americans”, and in some areas of Alaska you have whole tribes of Inuit’s only. Diversity my backside. Those regions just are what they are.

You can visit huge regions where a white man is a minorty, a black man a minority, or whatever floats your statistical boat.

Then we have other statistical flukes.

I drive a semi truck for a living. It is really hard work, the average work week is 60-70 hours, I am never home, I put on some serious weight, and liberals see you as a monster, States see you as a piggy bank, and the Federal Government is set to ruin you as much as they can.

Sadly few women are in the industry. Especially as solo drivers. Over-all there may be 1 in 20 drivers being that other sex, but less than 1 in 100 (based upon experienced observations) are solo driving females.

Next lets look at Secretaries… holy female empire batman! Yeah you guessed it… men need not apply or do they just care not to apply?

Sports is a good show of regional and identity differences… Basketball versus Hockey. Do I need to say more about the spectrum difference, or how regional differences play into it?

When you try to tell a company they need a certain number, based upon a math model, you are automatically using a wrong math model. There can be no doubt that no model can adequately cover regional differences, sexual choice differences (not as in changing sex, but what each sex prefers to do), religious differences, sociological differences, and other factors.

Then we can talk education. College is supposed to be for higher education, universities for the best and brightest seeking higher education… so the idea of putting enough seats on the side for minorites to enter even if they have less than ideal grades is grotesque.

“The sports teams refused me, the music director said i have tone deafness, so the only other thing with scholarships is brain suregon” sort of talk should scare you. I want someone who went after the choice of a career before hand versus someone who chose a career cause it was someplace they could get in to. That reads poorly…. I would rather you pushed hard for that career than getting it because your supposedly underpriveledged and you think it could be good money.

I rather Bill Gates do what he likes than if he was given a center position on the Blazers team due to a lack of nerds there (for the record I self identify as a nerd, suck it).

So if I were called to testify about Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action I would say they are racist, sexist, regressive, and un-American. PERSUE YOUR DREAM!


A Webactivist Initiative


Greetings fellow webactivists.

I am seeking to catch up, and then pass the Democrats in high tech GOTV (Get Out The Vote) activities.

Believe it or not… Crowd Sourcing is a new (or repackaged) method to gather ideas.

So here is the Stated Goal:

To write a comprehensive technological plan with links, explanations, methods, and FAQ’s for Republican candidates to use.

To get to this goal we need to talk bar code readers, mobile credit card readers, smart phones, data banks, new map services, social networking, auto texting, mailing lists, forums, and more.

So your mission, if you accept, is to help put together our collective knowledge.

Obama has the lead in this arena… let’s work to reverse this. He has smart phones with drawn up maps of previous donors and credit card readers. He has a huge twitter following, and updates people with text’s sent to their phones.

I am a forward thinker… I know I can do a smaller version on my own… but our collective knowledge easily can make this effort… The most effective tool for Republicans ever
