9/11 is a solemn occasion to pay tribute to those who died, innocent people whose only crime is that they were not followers of a religion that celebrates death more than life.   It is an occasion to pay tribute to those who did not give up without a fight and to remember those who led us out of those dark days; some who are still paying the price.   It is an occasion to renew our support for and fight for those who are still suffering from the effects of 9/11, either mentally or physically and those who are dying from answering the call for help.  It is a time to donate blood, give to your local fire departments, police, EMT’s and other first responders, things we can physically do, each of us, but it is not a day to pick a fight. 

Thank God we live in America where Mr. Krugman can state his opinion, and freedom of speech allows others to call him on it.  His final comment [I’m not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons."] tells me Krugman only believes in freedom of his speech.  What is scary, is that is the same thing our enemies believe.

Wow.   Just, wow.   I got pwned, too.  I admit it.  Feeling betrayed has left me with even more resolve to demand that lawmakers in this ’2010 turnover’ do exactly what they were sent to do, and not one thing less.  Not one  thing.   I feel much like a woman who learns her spouse has a nightly date at the T-N-A club….doesn’t matter if you touch or not, the fact is you betrayed me in thought and that is as bad as any other act.    There are no second chances.

The Presidents campaign speech he called a budget deal showed his resolution to solving any crisis is class warfare, besmirching those who have the audacity to make money, using children, seniors and low income families as human shield.  His only solution is soaking the rich and excoriating Paul Ryan.   The petty, petulant man of no character tipped his hand and showed that not only is he an empty suit, but he is a contemptuous, vindictive little badger.  Therefore, I say, the time for talking or cooperation is over.

There is no more room for banter or barter.   There is no more time for being on the defense or taking anything lightly.  Our resolve, even if we must set it against our own, should be that there is not one dime spent for any program that adds to our deficit.  We should apply the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace program to the government and get our financial house in order.   It should not take 25 years, it shouldn’t take 10 years.   We should be cutting and gutting until the only thing left is infrastructure and defense spending.  The tax code should be completely revamped and simplified and Social Security should be phased out.  Medicare should be replaced and administered at the state or local level and should NOT be handled by the federal government.  Medicaid should be cut out completely and any charity to the poor should be done by the community in which they live, at that level.  

I do not feel badly for anyone who will have their livelihood altered because they will not receive unemployment, not do I feel badly for anyone who will not receive WIC, welfare, or any other program for the poor.  If they want to blame someone, blame those who defraud the system and jack up the cost to the working people who contribute to it.   If any of them want to assess blame, look no further than the Democratic party that seeks to keep their constituents, their base indebted and dependent on their handouts to live, to die, to give birth, to kill their unborn, to draw money from the productive class for food and shelter.  The fate of our republic far outweighs the needs of a group of people.   

There is no more room for kicking around the immigration problem.  When reports come out that state “households headed by immigrants have a substantially higher rate of welfare use than native-headed households, according a report released by the Center for Immigration Studies”  well that tends to chap my hide.   I am a compassionate person, but it extends only to those who deserve it and people breaking the law simply do not deserve it.   May 1st every one of these immigrants will be out protesting God knows what and carrying signs to demand “rights.”   Rights?   What rights are conferred to you for breaking the law?   The Democratic party cares solely about adding these people to the roles of their base and breaking the backs of the taxpayer.

It is time to deal with immigration.   Bill O’Reilly and other pundits cry “There simply is no way you can deport 30 million immigrants…..are you kidding me?  They’re out every May 1^st, altogether, protesting, gather them up and send them home.   If we can put a man on the moon we can rid ourselves of parasites to our economy that is adding to every individuals tax burden.  We must enforce the laws on the books now, or the republic, for which we stand, will be lost.  

In addition, today the House and Senate are expected to vote on separate bills to defund the federal health care law and to cut money for Planned Parenthood.  Both are no brainers.   Defund, defeat, repeat.

I am sick and tired of those who are supposed to be stewards of MY MONEY using it for things I would never allow if I controlled it myself.  I would never enable the lady who stands in the check out line buying 14 boxes of Twinkies and 3 gallons of soda with a LoneStar Card for her 6 children who were birthed in the county hospital, on my dime.  Kids who all have teeth cared for or replaced by the state while mom drives an Escalade and carries a Juicy Couture handbag paid for with money provided by the taxpayers.   I would never give money to someone who has no sense of responsibility but believes they are owed a living off the backs of the working class for whatever reason.  I would never hand money to someone for an abortion and I sure as heck would never force my neighbor to pay for my healthcare.  The federal government has proven time and time again they are not good stewards of my money, or yours either, and it is high time the social, fiscal conservatives struck a pose and did not waiver. 

I am rankled, and I am sure I am not alone.  

• John Boehner originally asked for  $32 billion in cuts to which
• Harry Reid called the original amount “draconian, scandalous” and other things behind closed doors, I am sure
• The funding received may have had to drop PP to be picked up in a separate vote, but we are only talking about 6 more months in the fiscal year.  So, in essence, Boehner may have only gotten half of what we demanded, but it was for only ½ the fiscal year anyway, so it all works out in the wash. 
• Planned Parenthood votes will be better served on an individual vote so we know who supports government subsidized murder;  the tax payer wasn’t there during conception and should not be fiscally responsible for the bad behavior of others
• I think this, in addition to the Ryan Roadmap will be a home run for the GOP.  I myself would cut more, like a mad woman on a coupon spree, but I suppose, for now, I can live with the Ryan Proposal because it will “simplify the tax codes and get all those special breaks and privileges and special treatment out of it, and lower the rates for everybody” to quote Rove.  It is a better roadmap than we have had in 100 years.

Now, I understand the Democrats will come out with more fear mongering  and outright lies. Obama will even propose his own budget that will have some cuts, but will propose changes to parts of the tax code he thinks benefit the wealthy, again with the class warfare bit, but I do not think any Tea Partier, Independent, Republican or those who are looking down the road at what they will inherit, no matter their politics, will be swayed much.   Seniors are smarter than Obama gives them credit and know they will be used as pawns, but even they will not be swayed.   The only people that will be challenged as to where they stand will be those who make a living off the government, those who have no job outside of taking from the government, those who have worked their whole lives to set up the government to take care of their every needs [i.e. baby boomers], those who are college graduate elites that do not yet pay their own way [son, you are in for one rude awakening],  and those of the non productive class that take and take and take and add nothing to the economy or workforce.  The Cloward and Piven ½ of the population made up of union workers, welfare recipients and the not so intelligencia that know better than everyone else how government “ought” to work, and usually they mean to line their pockets and make you pay.

The 2012 elections will be all about us, vs. them; the giant Federal behemoth vs. the rugged, independent individual.  It will be David vs. Goliath and his dependents because let’s face it, we will be battling the ideology and psychology of codependency.   We will need an AA strategy here, and it appears before the 2012 elections are done, everyone center of right will become Friends of Bill.

Paraphrasing Scott Wilder, Christian talk show host, we have to get the most we can with whomever we have in office.   We move the ball each down until we get to the goal…..it isn’t real often that we get to run the ball all the way back, and this budget deal was no exception.   As Boehner put it, to get this amount from one half of one third of the houses of government and get it through, well, it’s not peanuts, it is a start.   I think that Tea Party members who don’t think Boehner went far enough, I am one, may have to rethink getting to the goal.  I have. I think our Tea Party freshman pushed and pushed to where we are, and that in itself is commendable.  Within the GOP we now have a check and balance I think will allow us to move forward with less worry about caving in as we have done before.  

I know, so we WANTED $100 billion in cuts, we shot high…..we will get there.  If you mean to ask for $40 billion, you ask for $160, settle for 50% of that and still gain more than what you needed.   Horse trading is an art the GOP has never been good at.  We need to stand on principal, but when you can get the same result from another play and alienate less people, do it.  Keep your gains and keep going.   As Boehner has said, the next fight will be about Trillions, with a T and entitlements will be on the table, hopefully to end up on the cutting room floor.  2012, we take the fight to them.

In the novel by James Thurber, Mitty, a mild mannered nobody has a secret daydreaming life that rivals that of James Bond.   Mitty is described as ineffectual person who spends more time in heroic daydreams than paying attention to the real world, or more seriously, one who intentionally attempts to mislead or convince others that he is something that he is not.   Hence, the parallel to Barack Obama.

Mitty has many daydreams, one as a Navy Pilot.   Barack Obama imagined he could be president of the greatest country on the face of the earth, but it has proven to be a task he simply is not up to.

Mitty imagines himself as a one-of-a-kind surgeon, performing a miraculous, never before tried surgery.    Barack Obama and his handlers made him out to be an oracle, the  black Gipper, a great orator with words of fluidity, as proven by his books.  He was a made out to be a uniter, one who could walk on water and find ways to bring everyone to the table.  In reality, the real Obama falls far short of the myth and has become a divider along every line imaginable.  He cannot speak without the aid of a teleprompter.  He is arrogant, but is it simply narcissism and not confidence of achievement.

In another episode Walter Mitty is a lone assassin in a courtroom drama, while the reality for Obama is not quite so heroic or sexy.  He has dodged questions on his birth certificate and fought exposing it, and his college records, tooth and nail.  Why?  Not simply to frustrate the birther crowed, but also to keep his myth, his mystique alive.

He has squandered open and shut cases such as the New Black Panther Party; he has considered the KSM trial be performed in all three rings under the big top in New York and had to back track.  He has had to backtrack on closing Gitmo and having civilian trials for Club Gitmo detainees. 

Obama’s forays into the court system are a losing proposition.  Maybe it is because he has an Attorney General that fancies himself a man of “some of the people” rather than a servant of “all of the people” of the United States.  And then there is Judge Vinson’s ruling on Obamacare.  We are still waiting with rapt attention to see what Mitty will do on that one.

Further into the Walter Mitty story, the character sees himself as an RAF pilot on a suicide run….not much of a stretch there.  One would have to live under a rock to not see the wake of destruction to our nation this presidency has left behind.

As the story ends, Mitty imagines himself facing a firing squad, bravely.  We have seen this face of the president:  tongue lashing the Tea Party, whipping the SCOTUS members at the state of the union address, publicly chastising members of Congress and calling out pundits and columnists who dare to disagree. 

It is one thing to have an escapist, day dream of a life because the one you have is mundane and you are feckless, but it is quite another when you hold the highest office in the land.  It is an utter betrayal of the trust of the American people when

on the important issues of the day you are either silent, impotent, or send in a second string to take care of things because you are too busy doing what you deem to be more important:    hitting the links, dithering with NCAA brackets, or spending time with Disney-365 making PSA’s with Demi Lovato or Jojo on how to “Stomp Out Bullying.”  It is really quite a slap in the face to those who depend on you to lead or to those who are reaching out to you to act on their behalf, for you to simply pull a Waldo or a Mitty and become the Invisible Man.

At this point, the Libyans trying to oust their bloodthirsty tyrannical leader think the world has abandoned them.  Apparently the US has.   Obama has waited for the French to take the lead.  The FRENCH!??  He has waited for the UN to lead.  The UN!??  He has waited for the Arab League to give us permission.  Permission!??  The middle east continues to  burn while the president is on the golf course.   Japan is devastated, and Obama indulges in March Madness.  The southern border is a battlezone, as is Arizona, and the president of the US readies himself for a trip to Rio and then Ireland. Party after party, DNC fundraisers and Mowtown Celebrations….while the economy is in the tank.  He shakes his head like a two year old who just learned the word “NO” and will not meet with those big fat meanies on the GOP side to avert a government shutdown while Harry Reid laments about the Cowboy Poets.

Is it too much to ask for a president that is not only present, but accountable to the American people?   How is it this man still has a job?   In the private sector, he would have been shown the door after 6 months, but almost 3 years into the term and we will be paying for Mittyesque behavior for  a long, long time. 

1.  DOMA:  Atty. Gen. Holder and Obama no longer believe in the constitutionality of the defense of marriage between one man and one woman.  Newt Gingrich is on the record as having stated it could be the start of an impeachment for this president, but I find this is just one of many offenses.   Civil unions are not defined as marriage for a reason.  The main reason is that marriage is the cornerstone of a society and adds to it and the population.   Civil unions, while they may feel right, are not the same and never will be.  They do not add to society, in fact of the all the monogamous relationships plead to defend civil unions, only a few actually turn out to be so monogamous.   They do not add to the population, they have to borrow from others what they cannot produce.   Let’s face it, it takes slot A and tab B to make a completely new entity.  Two of the same will never cut it.  

Not only is DOMA constitutional but it is sanctified and enshrined by people of faith.  The administrations act on not defending it is twofold.  First, to attack the sanctity of marriage and the faith of people and 2.  to attack the cornerstone of any civilized culture.  Once the cornerstones that uphold the pillars of a community crumble, they can be remade in any skewed version.  Once societal norms and social boundaries have been forced to jump the shark, then it is an anything goes scenario that reeks of anarchy.

2.  March on DC for Sharia Law:  I have addressed this before, but this president cannot allow Anjem Choudary to assemble a group calling for Sharia Law in the US.  This is a clarion call for the president and the newly elected GOP personnel to defend the US Constitution and make it crystal clear that Sharia has no place in the US and that a march to demand it will not be tolerated.  They need to stand firm and unequivocally state that First Amendment rights do not extend to insurrection.  Sharia Law is diametrically opposed to our founding documents and cannot usurp rule of law.   What the GOP does, what the newly elected freshmen do will separate the wheat from the chaff.  Fidelity to the people, the citizens and fidelity to the law is what we demand.  Show some backbone.

3.  July 4th Million Muslim March, again in DC:

Why on July 4th?   9/11 healing?  Please.  The US was attacked by MUSLIMS who practiced ISLAM on 9/11, not the other way around.   There were no mosques destroyed after the attack and damn precious few Muslims were harassed afterwards.  Taqqyia is spinning here, folks, and this again, cannot go unanswered.  In fact, the spirit of Neville Chamberlain is in the House as we see that the US is spending millions of YOUR tax dollarsto buy goodwill that will never be given.  We are giving middle eastern mosques a face lift while Muslims are marching on our soil…..I have never been so ashamed of our elected leaders.

Forget the Chicagoland tactics of the unions and their funding by Obama’s Organizing for America.   Far more is at stake and they are allowed to go on to keep your eyes off of what is REALLY happening to and in America.

1.  Choudary to protest in DC/wants Sharia Law in the US:    from the DAILY MAIL, of all places, and not from a US outlet, but picked up by FOX, Choudary the author of “the flag of Islam will fly over the White House,” says he will lead a demonstration rallying Muslims to establish Sharia law across the United States.

If the President doesn’t make it clear that Sharia law is not compatible with the US Contstitution and that such actions would be tantamount to insurrection and is punishable in this country AND throw them all out of the US, he is not worthy of the office he holds and MUST be removed.

It is not time for talk.   It is not time to recalibrate.   It is not time to reflect.  The answer is not no, but hell no and if you don’t like it, get out.

2.  Pirates take US citizens hostage/US mulls response:   The only question I have is what in God’s name is there to mull over?    Send in the spec ops, free our people and kill the pirates.  It isn’t hard.  It isn’t strategically tricky.  You just do it.   What is the president doing?

If the President doesn’t make it clear that you don’t mess with us in an attempt to see if we will blink, such actions are punishable by swift and terrible justice AND just follow up with action, he is not worthy of the office he hold and MUST be removed.

It is not time for talk.   It is not time to recalibrate.   It is not time to reflect.  We don’t mull, we act.

********UPDATE**********http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/02/22/americans-aboard-yacht-captured-pirates-reportedly-killed/   This is a Jimmy Carter, Mickey Mouse response and I hold lack of action on the part of our Administration and those who allowed this to transpire, accountable.

3.  All the Presidents Pawns/OFA organizes Wisconsin Thug-a-Thon:  Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is right to ask for Teachers Unions [and any others] to pay their fair share and quit asking the taxpayers to pick up the tab.  The unions are wrong, the sick out is wrong, indoctrinating young people is wrong and taking them to protest on the taxpayer dime is wrong.  In addition, the greed of the public sector employees means that 6,000 – 12,000 may lose their jobs.  They are not being asked to pay anything more than what private sectory employees are being FORCED to do.   Moreover, the President insinuating himself on the side of unions and allowing HIS group, OFA to organize the protest tell me and SHOULD tell you all you need to know about the man, his lack of character and lack of leadership.  It should also tell you what form of politics he employs, and it isn’t democracy.  It is Chicago style thuggery and intimidation.  He wants a socialists workers state and he will manipulate and use any crisis to get it.  He is not presidential material, he is merely a community organizer that got lucky and we are paying the price for it.

If the President does not remove himself from the situation and order the teachers back to work, his role in the who kerfuffle needs to be made very clear.  If he does not order OFA to step back and let Wisconsin citizens deal with their own affairs, he needs to be publicly chastised.   If he does not mind his own federal affairs and quit sticking his nose in states affairs, he needs to recalled along with the Democratic representatives that have abidcated their role and responsibilty to the people of the state of Wisconsin, and to America.

I don’t know which is scarier, that Texas planned to make Arabic a mandatory foreign language to learn and didn’t tell allow for parental input, that it is starting in elementary school, or that this nugget is found within the article:  The DOE has identified Arabic as a ‘language of the future.’  Video can be found here.

What is even scarier to me is that this was provided by a FEDERAL grant of $5 million.

This was awarded to 5 schools nationwide, could we not SPEND $25 million in a better way than indoctrinating our children?  

Understandably parents are concerned that the language cannot be severed from the religion and I agree.  Islam and the language are a common denominator among Arabs and are intertwined.

I suggest that this means we will be INUNDATED with those from the Middle East, like we were after the fall of the Shah in 1979;  you know when everyone from Iran was suddenly Jordanian or something other than Iranian?  I further suggest that having the federal government prepare the way for them means they care very little about things that concern the average American:  assimilation and legal immigration  and  knowing who is in our country and expecting them to act according to our laws and our Constitution rather than their cultural beliefs and regulations.   YOU know this will set up a showdown of the US Constitution vs. Shariah Law.

This hand will be forced by the current administration, and since he has made it clear that his loyalties do not lie with our allies, we should be wary of anything Obama does that allows for the propagation of Islam in this country.

I get tired of calling for a recall of this man for breach of contract with the American people.   But I predict  we will go from allowing Islamaberg to exist outside of New York [speaking of a slap in the face!] to Cairo like outrage to remove him from office before his 2012 run is through.  *****Even Rush agrees.*****

With all the meltdown occurring in Egypt today, if one was watching the media in the US one would think we were living through 1979 again.  In 1979 we had an impotent liberal president in office that looked like a feckless fool in both domestic and foreign affairs.   2011 is no different.  In 1979 the roiling of the people in Iran boiled over and the pro Western government was overthrown for an authoritarian government.   Fast forward to 2011 and Tunisia, Lebanon, Egypt are all roiling over looking for a more democratic government.   Take note however, that democracy in the the middle east does not look like democracy in the US and they have groups like the Muslim Brotherhood just waiting to fill the void. 

MB has their political platform ready:  “The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt calls for war with the tiny Jewish state. What better way to unify the ummah than with tried-and-true, religiously mandated Islamic anti-semitism.”   HT to Atlas’s Pamela Gellar.   If you want the facts, be sure to read Gellar and Gabriel.  One note you do not hear from the drive by media, if Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Backs ElBaradei Role, we should be against it.

**added 5:30  http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/01/31/study-guide-in-depth-history-of-egypt-and-mubarak/   Do your homework.   Look who’s looping the Southern Sudan secession and who will burn down Europe.   What will happen when we have China, Russia, The Muslim Caliphate?   What will happen to the Muslims in the US or within the administation or high levels of office?  Who will stand with the US and Israel?  Just food for thought, and homework….

2011 has brought two separate rulings that Obamacare is NOT constitutional.The latest in Florida, the individual mandate has been ruled to be unconstitutional, not even the tears of Shep Smith could save it.  From Fox News: “Florida judge rules that health care law is unconstitutional and says the entire act must be declared void.”    Vinson stated there is no severability, meaning, that the entire bill cannot stand separate from the individual mandate which is NOT constitutional, the entire bill is null and void.   I love the smell of constitutional righteousness in the afternoon. 

Not surprisingly, two separate rulings state just the opposite, but such is the way of political plays on its way to a Supreme Court ruling.

J-Nap, or the Napster is wagging her finger at the Mexican drug cartels.  They are quaking in their boots because of these words:  :”Don’t even think about bringing your violence…. across this border,”    NOT.   Man we look like feckless fools, again.   Lip service is laughable when precipitated with removing a border fence and removing our Sesame Street color coded threat level system {ie  Elmo Red, Cookie Monster Blue, Oscar Green}.

Napster.   Our Marcy Darcy.  I feel all secure now, don’t you?

Early voitng begins in New York for the Mayoral race.   Rahm Emanuel still has his name on the candidate list, despite being a resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for the last two years.   Consider this a dry run for stealing the 2012 election.  You have been warned.  

The whole election is SOP for Chicago style tactics:

Emanuel’s closest contender for the office is former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun, who stirred up controversy on Sunday when she accused another candidate of being a crack addict.

Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins, a community activist who has 1 percent support compared to Braun’s 21 percent, according to the Tribune poll, accused Braun at a candidate forum of not being active in the community in recent years.

Braun retorted that Van Pelt-Watkins didn’t know where Braun was “because you were strung out on crack.”

Van Pelt-Watkins has told local media outlets that she had never used crack cocaine, and has been sober for more than 25 years. On Monday, she was demanding an apology from Braun.

Not surprisingly, of these stellar choices, Emanuel is in the lead by far.

According to AP the Obamanots have announced plans for new power plants and oil refinery emission standards for 2011 and beyond.  Under the Clean Air Act in 2011, the EPA plans to.  According to Lisa Jackson, EPA Adminstrator:   “We are following through on our commitment to proceed in a measured and careful way to reduce GHG pollution that threatens the health and welfare of Americans, and contributes to climate change,” … “These standards will help American companies attract private investment to the clean energy upgrades that make our companies more competitive and create good jobs here at home.”

She neglects the parts where the EPA’s micromanaging the decline of the energy industry and the escalation of electricity prices will zap you and me in the wallet while simultaneously killing off two major industries [oil/gas and coal] in echange for the less-than-stellar benefits of wind and solar power.  Coming from Texas, that is a big chunk of our economy.

The EPA will accept public comment on these two agreements for 30 days following publication of notice in the Federal Register.   You can read it, here.

Please make your voices heard.  I thought we had killed Cap’n Tax, but he lives.  Call you reps, call your governors, call your senators, make the EPA understnd that they cannot unilaterally makes these kinds of calls where action by a governmental agency is based on high school or college thesis papers or shoddy climate data, manipulated to suit their needs.  This seems to be the chosen tack of the federal government and it we must be ever vigilant as our rights are eroded one by one.  We are under siege; it is time to ask yourself, are you a citizen or are you a subject?
