There is no problem with protest and free speech. But like our President has said, we do not need to vilify each other. Taking President Obama at his word, this site does not vilify anybody. We do, however, express strong opinions without the name calling and often not too subtle stereotyping. Therefore, even the inclusion of the word, “dummy” in a response to this blog is not acceptable. Hey, write your own blog if you don’t think you get enough “time” on other people’s blogs.

Republicans are Serious About Fixing the Problem.
Paul Ryan is an honest man. I know that is something strange in a politician. But I believe that Paul is a serious American who wants the BEST for his country and its people. Please give the Ryan Plan a serious read. Give it a chance, because I believe, and I understand that you really don’t care what I believe, but that is the nature of blog posts, Give it a serious hearing and an honest debate. Harry Reid said that the Ryan Plan was “dead on arrival” in the Senate. Who the hell does Harry Reid think that he is? Is he the dictator of the Senate? Maybe Senate rules allow dictators, but American citizens do not. We must demand that the Senate allow the Ryan Plan to be fully and fairly debated in the Senate so that WE, yes, you and I can get the potentially best plan out there for the saving of SOcial Security, the saving of Medicare, and the Saving of America.
Paul Ryan

There is a lot of talk in the media about Congressman Paul Ryan. The website above allows Representative Paul Ryan to speak for himself. It is good stuff. I listened to video clips on the site which varied in length from 2 minutes to 12 minutes and every one of them was informative. Clink on the site and listen for yourself.
Rand Paul Calls Obama Out
http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul665.html
Many people are questioning the wisdom of electing Barrack Hussein Obama to be President of the USA. People like Sean Hannity and Mark Levin say that Obama is a Socialist. Rand Paul says Obama is a Corporatist. That’s worse. It is a unholy alliance Qbetween corporate interests, the civil government and the military. It means that for Philips petroleum and the others to be able to get the worlds oil, we muat lie, chet and steal; and we must lie to our people and to the world in order to gain illegal control of anotehr natssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
McCain In favor of war, who’d have Guessed
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110422/ap_on_re_mi_ea/mccain_libya
It is always surprising to this writer that Senator McCain, who personally suffered the cruelty and horror of war, should be a war hawk. It seems that at every turn the US Senator is cheering in favor of war, with its guns, bombs and destruction. It is disheartening to need to repeat so many times, but please remember that the government of Libya is the legal government recognized by the UN, most NATO counties and all international companies doing business with Libya. I don’t know how the Senator entered the sovereign State of Libya? It seems that a no fly zone does not apply to US Senators who are against the legal government. They can fly in without interference from NATO. Now, let’s reverse the scene. Imagine that there was a rebellion of the Union workers party in the USA. Imagine that a Libyan supporter of the rebellion entered the country on a private plane, landed at the rebel hideout and then held a clandestine press conference calling for the overthrow of the US government. What would happen? I believe the US government, would arrest the Libyan for advocating the violent overthrow of the USA. So…okay, the objection my readers make is that the USA is not a dictatorship. But according to the outlined scenario, the rebels in the USA would say that it was a dictatorship and should be overthrown. Now, back to today and reality, Mc Cain should have been arrested by the Libyan Government as a provocateur who advocated the overthrown of the internationally recognized government of Libya. And why wasn’t he? Because he entered the country illegally? Or because he was surrounded by USA secret service agents to protect him? Or because he wasn’t there more than a few hours, in which time he came to a complete, in-depth understanding of all the facts, and decided that the army, navy, and other armed personnel of Libya were bad and needed to be killed by USA drones, bombs, artillery and cruise missiles? I guess the military families of the Libyan government have no feelings, or rights? Let’s just kill them because American Senator John McCain says so! It really is surprising how much Senator McCain is in favor of wanton war. By the way, isn’t there a budget battle raging in the Senate? Isn’t there a need for Republican Senators to be out on the tour promoting the Ryan proposals? Isn’t there a great need for more jobs support efforts from the Senate? Maybe a nice little war in Libya that is costing us millions a day is what Senator McCain feels will fuel a recovery in the US armaments industry? Strange friends, government and armament makers!
Obama Buy Mc Donalds But Citizens Pay
The announcement that Mc Donalds Corporation will hire fifty thousand low paid workers for the fast food chain is good news. But it comes with a price. Mc Donalds Corp is exempt from Obama Care. Now some might say that this is very good government. But this writer suggests that this is further proof of the crony capitalism of the Obama administration. You and I are still required to buy into Obama Care. But the Labor Unions are exempt, Mc Donalds is exempt and the whole State of Maine is exempt! Is this equal treatment under the law? It is not, it is a street kid in the White House making deals to make himself look good in time for re election. But you and I and the small business owners of America are expected to abide by the law and pay the bill. Shame on Obama.
OReilly Reveals his Obama Side
In the telecast March 31 Bill O Reilly revealed that he is fulfilling a question he asked when he interviewed President Obama. In that Interview he asked the President, “What can I do to help you, Mr. President?” Since that time O Reilly has done a good job of covering up his new-found admiration for the President. Mostly, O Reilly acts as though he is being fair and balanced, but the nuance of his comments is decidedly pro Obama. Tonight with the use of one word, O Reilly revealed his inner convictions. In discussing the difference between Obama and Bush as regards the Mid East, O Reilly said that Bush was a “cowboy” in Iraq while Obama revealed a deliberate cautious and careful approach to Libya. He said that Bush was a cowboy in his go it alone approach to leadership while Obama’s broad coalition with NATO is proof of Obama’s leadership. The use of the negative word “cowboy” as regards President Bush shows that O Reilly is no longer even pretending to be fair and balanced and has become a Obama defender, just like MSNBC and CNN and the other media sycophants. Too bad, because now there is only Mark Levin and Sean Hannity to trust for fair and balanced and Glenn Beck for thorough investigative reporting. O Reilly is really a democrat advocate and it would be better for him to admit his true Pro Obama position rather than to continue to pretend otherwise.
Does the Court In Wisconsin Believe It is Superior to the Legislature?
Yesterday a Court Judge ruled that the Wisconsin Labor law cannot be enforced. Amazing how a single Judge sets herself up against the Governor and the legislature of a sovereign State. It is disheartening for average citizens to watch such judicial legislation. The Judges are supposed to rule on the legality of the law under the constitution. So what is the Judge doing here? Is it judicial politics or does she have legitimate reason to tell the legislature, in due order assembled, that it is not allowed to pass laws? I understand this may seem simplistic but the people do elect legislators and Governors and they expect their decision to be respected unless the legislature does something egregiously harmful to the citizens of the State. Do we really think that limiting government employees collective bargaining rights, and telling them to pay 8% of their pension of 12 5 of their health insurance is harmful to the State. I am sure that the majority citizens of that State pay as much or more into their plans. So what’s the problem?
Ohio Law Second in a Popular Revolt Against Tyranical Unions
|
The Ohio statue for limiting the negotiation privileges of Public Employee Unions is the second in a popular and publicly supported wave for Responsible Government. The problem with having Unions for government employees is that the Unions apply their money to the support of candidates that favor them. This results in a closed and circular system. The Unions automatically support Democrat candidates who in turn are obligated to support Unions. This means that an agency of government is obligated to support a fraction of the population ad versus the rest of the non unionized population. The result is a prejudice against the non unionized in favor of the unionized. This prejudice uses favorable actions of the Executive and legislative branch to singularly favor unions and thereby exclude the majority population which is non union. This prejudice of the government in favor of the unionized means that the majority population, which is non union, is required by the law to pay for the wages, benefits and pensions of the minority. As President Obama is fond of saying, he wants to spread the wealth around. However, he is reaching into the pockets of lower paid non union workers in order to pay the higher wages, pensions and benefits that the unionized workers receive. This is unfair, since the non unionized have not voluntarily agreed to do this but are forced to pay for the unionized by legislation and the tax code. The preferential treatment of one category of people against the interests of another category of persons is coercive and it seems to this writer to be a civil rights issue. How does this play as a civil rights issue. Simply! A citizens should not be required to pay for the higher wages, higher benefits and higher pensions of another group of citizens.

Is Bill O’Reilly a Closet Obama Fan?
Hey! the Obama Interview aside, I wonder if Bill O’Reilly voted for Obama.!? Right after the 2008 election I thought Bill O’Reilly was a Obama man. Then it seemed that he soured on the President. This antipathy to President Obama increased the more the Stock Market, and especially GE declined. Then there was a period when I thought I heard Mr. O’Reilly pleading for an interview with the Prez. During that “whining” time, I thought that Bill was “fair and balanced” toward the Prez. But immediately leading up to “THE INTERVIEW” and ever since, “THE INTERVIEW” I seem to be hearing Bill O Reilly fulfilling the answer to his last interview question ” What can we do for YOU, Mr. President?” Well, this viewer does not think that The Factor needs to help the Pres. get elected again in 2012.
