11/27/11 Glad I’m Not A Democrat
If it were not for the republicans in the house and senate, President Johnson would not have been successful in passing the 1964 civil rights bill. Robert Byrd a democrat, filibustered against the bill. President Eisenhower sent the 101st airborne division into Little Rock, so that black students could attend Central High School in 1957, best I can remember, he was Republican. President Kennedy, a Democrat federalized the Alabama national guard to remove Governor George Wallace from the University of Alabama door so Vivian Malone and James Hood could register. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican, does that tell you anything. Condoleezza Rice was a Democrat until 1982 but changed to Republican, due to her dislike for President Carters foreign policy. Her father was a Republican, because the Democrats refused to register him to vote, but the Republicans did.
At least Herman Cain knows how many states there are, and can make a speech without teleprompters. Mr. Cain has lived off of the fruits of his labor, not from the labors of others. As far as I know he has not been accused of rape and told the victim to put ice on that lip. Any one of the republican candidates have far more credentials for the office of president than the man that occupies the office now. I believe that all could produce a legitimate birth certificate, and a college transcript. I can’t believe how Democrats can adore Bill Clinton with all his escapades. The uninformed of this country elected a man with absolutely no qualifications to be president. It seems that all you have to do is promise the most ice cream and candy to get elected, it matters not what the cost. The Democrat party has absolutely destroyed the incentive for people to work. On one hand why work if you can get a check from fellow citizens ( you notice that I didn’t use the word government, because government doesn’t have any money ). On the other hand, why work, the government is going to take your money and give it to those that don’t work. When that takes place, the politicians can assure themselves a secure livelihood. The time is fast approaching when there will be more takers than there are providers.
Big government is the cause of poverty, when people lose their homes savings, and jobs, you can rest assured that it can be traced back to some government meddling. You hear it said that wall street was not regulated enough, could it be that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not regulated enough. The executives at Freddie and Fannie are getting large salaries and large bonuses, but surely there are thieves that would work cheaper. You hear liberals come unglued over the salaries and bonuses of CEO in the private sector, but not a whimper when government employees rob the tax payer blind.
The constitution entitles you to life, liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. Roe V Wade has denied life to some, and government regulations are denying liberty, and their meddling is rapidly making happiness very elusive.

11-15-11 Occupiers Represent What
Have you noticed how neat and clean the occupiers are and how they leave the area in better shape than it was before they came. All is calm and very compliant with the rules and regulations. No rapes or thievery or violence of any kind, such a nice and well behaved crowd. No bigotry or racism to be found in their midst.
Now let us take a look at those racist and possible terrorist, that Nancy Pelosi referred to. You know that bunch of tea party thugs carrying those flags with rattle snakes painted on. Why would anyone want to follow the constitution, and keep more of their hard earned money. Comrade Obama has already called it a flawed document, because it restrains government.
I agree whole heartily with Mr. Darwin Yeary, when he says that this is not the prosperous America, that many of us grew up in. I have a different opinion about how we arrived at the scene of this disaster. In the neighborhood that I and my wife lived in as children, there were no welfare checks, there were government commodities that were available, but neither of our families took advantage of the programs. It was considered unethical in some circles to take things that you had not earned. I believe if world war two had not ended the depression, and F.D. R was still president, we would still be plowing up cotton and wheat, because Democrats, love nothing better than telling the peasants what when and where.
President Kennedy, said ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Then along came President Johnson, with his war on poverty, and it looks like it is going to exceed his wildest expectations. There are more people on food stamps, welfare, and unemployment, at any time in the history of this nation. L.B. J. could not have achieved such great success on his own. With the help of President Carter, and the community reinvestment act, and coercing banks to make risky loans. President Clinton pushed the banks to make loans that were beyond risky. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac run by Democrats is the reason for the housing market and the stock market to collapse in 2008. President Obama certainly inherited a mess, but instead of laying all the blame on Republicans, he needs to look at stupid Democrat ideas that have not worked and will not work.
The jobs bill that the president is waving around, will only increase the debt. He is going to hire more teachers, police, fireman, and government employees. If there are no private sector jobs providing tax revenue to the federal treasury, how can these jobs be sustained. For instance, for easy calculation you earn 50,000 dollars in a public sector, job that would put you in the 15% tax bracket, your tax would be $7500.00. I am reasonably sure that the jobs bill is good for only one year, so if revenue is not received from the private sector, looks like your next years salary would be $7500.00 providing government shipping and handling had not taken a big chunk out.
If the occupiers represent the middle class working folks, I pray to God that I never reach that rung of the ladder. If we don’t vote comrade Obama and his czars out of power you haven’t seen anything yet. They are out to destroy our country.

11/10/11 Endangered Species
Why aren’t there more jobs being created. Let me give you my opinion, There are too many hoops to jump through. When the small business man pays his employees, he has to send in their tax, and his share of their social security and medicare tax, then he has to send in the federal unemployment tax, which comes out of his stash, then he gets to keep some if there is anything left.
A friend told me that he had twenty employees at one time, but now he has none and will never hire another. If you are out of a job, thank your meddling government, and unions. I heard a union leader say that the unions and the Democrats are going to get this country employed. Seems to me that government and unions are the cause of unemployment. If you have any doubt, take a good look at Detroit Michigan. The unions and Democrat party were in charge for many years, does that look like the utopia that Democrats and union bosses claim will appear if you will only support their policies.
I know a gentleman, that operates a company in Fort Worth, and he let his nine year old nephew operate a fork lift. One day a government meddler came by and the lad was on the forklift, he asked , how old are you, and who pays you, the answer was nine, and uncle John pays me. The high and mighty man from the government, found uncle John and gave him a refresher course on child labor laws and fined him. A friend told me that the regulations on his business are ridiculous, for instance, you must put your equipment in park set the parking brake and scotch the wheels, and lower all elevated components. All products must have special codes to identify it plus the name of the product. If I remember correctly the fine is $2000.00 for the first offence.
I operated a small business for several years. I had no problem with the inspections that were required, but when it got to the point where the college boys designed the work and inspected the project, and in case that there were problems, guess whose fault it was.
If I am going to be responsible for their incompetence they can design install and inspect the whole thing. I told the college boys that they could take over, and I found other things to do. I would have probably expanded my business, but there were too many head aches forty years ago, and now it is a hundred times worse.
Do you remember Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, they are back in the news. The top executives are going to get approximately 13 million dollars in bonuses, while requesting another bail out. The government has taken over the student loans, just wait till this turkey comes home to roost. Aw don’t worry the tax payers have plenty of money to bail them out, if not we can print more or borrow from China.

10/9/11 Hypocrites Supreme
Herman Cain is being criticized for his lack of foreign policy experience. Let us examine Mr. Obama’s foreign policy experience. Mr. Obama lived in Indonesia as a child, traveled to Pakistan and India with some friends as a young man. Why was there no concern over the fact that Mr.. Obama had no foreign experience, but all of a sudden Mr. Cain is not qualified because he has no foreign policy experience. Herman Cain has more accomplishments, than Mr. Obama, will ever have. I believe that Mr. Cain would vote yes or no in place of just present like Senator Obama did. So many times. Mr. Cain has proven that he has the ability to surround himself with well qualified people, and that is what it takes to be successful leader. No person can be knowledgeable in all areas, not even a ditch digger such as myself.
I am really relieved, that Nancy Palosie has drained the swamp and gotten rid of all the corruption in Washington D.C. As long as there is money involved, there will be those that will take advantage of the opportunity to make a fast dollar.
The people protesting on Wall Street and other places, want to put the bankers in jail. There are those that probably need to be punished. We need to look at the whole picture, that will include elected officials, from President Carter and his community reinvestment act, President Clinton, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and too many Democrats to name. Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick, Jim Johnson, were not elected officials, but they were hip deep in the Fannie and Freddie disaster. Just for your education, you need to do a web search on Jamie Gorelick. Comparatively speaking Al Capone was a first grader. The protesters are angry at the Republicans, but there are more ultra wealthy Democrats. Herman Cain was being badgered by a reporter, who accused him of just being lucky. Mr. Cain responded by saying “ Luck is what happens when preparation and opportunity meet”. There are those who say Mr. Cain has no political resume. What a refreshing thought of having someone leading the country who has lived off of the fruits of his labor, rather than off the fruits of the tax payers.
Does it seem odd, that Jeremiah Wright lives in a mostly white, gated community, after railing against rich white people? Seems to me that liberals hate rich people, but love to be rich. Some of the protestors want to replace capitalism, but they don’t know what they would put in it’s place. They can look around the world and see what happens when socialism or communism is put in place. I can’t believe that there are those who are not aware of the long lines in Russia, hoping to get a loaf of bread when communism was the order of the day. I knew a gentleman that came to America from Russia, and many times I heard him say Russia is a good country, good people, good land, but government, not worth a damn.
The president want’s his jobs bill passed now. Seems that we have had a couple of his solutions already, and according to Albert Einstein “Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity”
He wants to tax the rich, in the words of George Bernard Shaw” A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

9/18/2011 Sounds Fantastic
When we get every body covered by health insurance, cost of health care will be marvelous. Health care costs will go down because every body will be sharing in the burden. Government can force you to buy health insurance. The argument is made that liability insurance is mandatory if you drive an automobile. Don’t let this leak out, but I am familiar with three auto accidents, where the person that caused the accident, did not have liability coverage. A gentleman with a cab full of beer cans and a lady that was not his wife, ran a stop sign and ran into my wife, causing injury that causes pain to this day. My uncle was stopped for a construction crew, and was rear ended. The driver of the other auto handed my uncle his insurance card, it turned out that a card was all that he had, no insurance. A young lady that I know was hit by a lady that ran a yield sign, no drivers license no insurance and three citations for previous offences. Does that lower the law abiding citizen’s insurance premiums, or does it raise his uninsured motorist policy. One in five motorist in Texas do not have liability insurance according to a news report. It will be the same with health care, those that pay will pay for those who don’t.. The only difference will be more government bureaucrats to pay, which will raise the cost.
Mr. Warren Buffet wants the tax rate raised on the millionaires, but his company has been fighting the IRS since 2002. If he is so in favor of paying more tax, why doesn’t he pay up and add another million to the bill. He could be affected by human nature and wants the other rich folks to pay the higher rate, but leave his money alone. I have news for Mr. Buffet and any other folks that believes that you can pay enough taxes to satisfy the bureaucrats in government. If by chance there ever was a surplus of funds, there is a “do gooder” sitting in the wings just waiting to implement some new program, that will only cost a pittance. There has never been a government program that did not cost infinitesimally more than could have been imagined. If by chance it is proven to be an utter failure, it will not be discontinued, because government agencies never go away no matter how inefficient they may be.
There is talk about cutting the subsidies for petroleum companies. I am in favor of cutting subsidies for all companies, including the so called green companies. I have been reading stories that say that the stimulus money spent on green jobs that range from 200 thousand to as high as 5 million per job created. No matter how you look at it that is what I would call excessive. The plan is going to cut payroll tax, spend money that is borrowed, which will have to be paid back with interest.
May I suggest a jobs creating plan. Begin with telling Nancy Palosie, Harry Reid, and President Obama, what they can do with the unaffordable health care bill. I certainly don’t want to see the Cuyahoga River on fire again, but I do believe that there are EPA and OSHA regulations that could be backed off to encourage investors to start companies. If two trillion in spending has not jump started the economy, what would make anyone think that another half trillion will work this time? In my opinion President Obama is determined to put this nation into total bankruptcy. He wasted over a year on the health care bill, when he should have been concerned with jobs.
The liberal talk about how dumb the Republican field of candidates are, it might be wise to take a closer look at what is in the Senate and White House.

9/3/2011 Missing Link Discovered
There is talk about further study of man made global warming to determine if that was what caused hurricane Irene to sweep up the east coast. Before Al. Gore invented the internet, and discovered man made global warming, there were hurricanes doing what Irene did and some a lot worse. The Great hurricane that struck in 1938, hurricanes Carol and Edna in 1954. If you listen to the global warming crowd you would think that Irene was the first one to ever go all the way up the coast into Canada.
Are the folks that work for NASA a bunch of uneducated hay seed? I bet you haven’t heard about the eight year study on man made global warming that NASA did. The following paragraph is taken from an article by James M. Taylor, senior fellow for environmental policy at The Heartland Institute and managing editor of Environment & Climate News.
“When objective NASA satellite data, reported in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, show a “huge discrepancy” between alarmist climate models and real world facts, climate scientist, the media and our elected officials would be wise to take notice. Whether or not they do so will tell us a great deal about how honest the purveyors of global warming alarmist truly are.”
In my opinion the man made global warming crowd, have no interest in the facts. They are out to bankrupt America, and send us back to the stone age. You capitalist pigs are using too much of the world’s resources, and causing the rest of the world to live in poverty, and you deserve the same. It doesn’t matter that America has done more to help other nations than any society in the history of the world.
Solyndra, a green energy company that produced solar panels is filing for bankruptcy. The company and it’s buddies raised and donated heavily to the Obama campaign and Democrat party, in return the company received $535 million in government loans. Closing of the plant will eliminate about eleven hundred jobs, so much for green jobs. You hear the lefties howl about the tax breaks that petroleum companies get, well at least they provide good paying jobs and provide a product that is in demand. If the EPA doesn’t back off of the new regulations, that was supposed to go into effect September 1/2011, it is a possibility that eighteen coal fired power plants in Texas could be closed, according to an article by Rep Phil King, Obama has said that gasoline needs to be around $7.00 per gallon to discourage usage, and that your electric bill would sky rocket, because he will punish coal fired generating plants. So I recommend that you vote for Obama, if you want to walk or ride a bicycle, sit in the dark and sweat profusely, eat spoiled food, just to name a few benefits offered by the Democrat party.
Governor Perry doesn’t believe in evolution, or man made global warming, neither do I. The missing link seems to keep evading discovery. There have been many hoaxes, such as Lucy, Piltdown man, Ida, Java man, Nebraska man, which was built around a tooth that was later proven to belong to an extinct pig. Seems that I heard somewhere that true science was based on facts, not on some hare brain notion. If you don’t believe in intelligent design, how could you believe in the theory of evolution. If you are going to teach evolution, teach intelligent design and let students choose. Check out Dr. Carl Baugh’s Creation Evidence Museum in Glenn Rose Texas. It seems to me that man made global warming and evolutionist are taking Albert Einstein’s advice “ If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts’. In my opinion the missing link is between their ears.

8/7/11 I Think I’ve Been Wasting My Time
Seems some folks think that the Banking and Real-estate collapse was caused by President Bush. Evidently they never heard of the community reinvestment act that was promoted by President Carter in 1977. In 1994 President Clinton pushed the NINJA loans, which means NO INCOME NO JOB OR ASSETS to increase home ownership. Now explain to me how that is going to have a good ending. Then in 2002 President Bush challenged the housing industry to create 5.5 million new home owners by 2010. Between the three do gooders, there are millions of foreclosures. Bank closures, lost jobs and it goes on and on. The more government regulations you have, the bigger the disaster. When some one knocks on your door and says I’m from the government and have come to help you,. Slam the door and hide.
I keep hearing that the debt was caused by President Bush’s two unfunded wars and part D medicare. I can see how that would increase the debt, but I need some help understanding how that collapsed the banking and housing industries. The two wars are projected to cost 1.29 trillion dollars by the end of 2011. The bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could possibly reach a trillion dollars before they are cleaned up. In my opinion the Democrats own about $999,999.999,950 of that debacle. I feel reasonably sure that every one noticed that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were conveniently left out of the Dodd- Frank banking reform bill. They played a major role in the housing bubble that led to the 2008 melt down. They stand today as the primary remaining bailout debtors to the U.S. treasury. Barney Frank said there were no problems with Fannie and Freddie, and if there was a problem the federal government wouldn’t bail them out, some one lied. Just for your entertainment view these two you tube videos FANNIE MAE/FREDDIE MAC HEARINGS 2004 DEMOCRATS WERE WARNED OF FINANCIAL CRISIS AND DID NOTHING.
It never ceases to amaze me that if President Bush says it, it is a lie. If a liberal says the exact words it becomes the irrefutable truth. FOR YOUR FACTS FOR THE DAY watch this you tube video “Democrats on Iraq + WMD’s weapons of mass destruction.” Seems to me I heard some where that, “a thousand pictures is worth two birds in the bush.” I strongly recommend that you watch the videos listed above. I realize that it is very difficult for liberals to get away from the so called main stream news talking heads parroting of the regime talking points. In my opinion they are almost always a facsimile of the actual truth.
I have two of the neatest features on my radio, one is an on and off button, and the other one changes stations. I recommend that those who find conservative talk shows offensive avail themselves of these features. That is what I do when I hear a liberal spouting off nonsense.
This is still an almost free country and you can vote for whom you please. I recommend that you scrutinize the next candidate more closely than President Obama was. It is difficult for me to believe that a person that sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church listening to the cursing of America for twenty years could be a patriotic American. It appears to me that the man has a strong dislike for America and is doing his best to be the one who turns this country into “grease” and America slides into oblivion.
