All That Is Necessary

Contraceptive Mandate Is Not The Real Issue

The big fight over the contraceptive mandate in obamacare is not the real issue.  The real issue is Obamacare itself.  To argue about the contraceptive mandate is to accept the premise of Obamacare in the first place.

I do not accept Obamacare so any argument over the details is a waste of time to me.

The individual mandate is simply unconstitutional.  If the government can FORCE you to buy healthcare simply because you are alive then there is nothing they cannot FORCE you to do.  It is no different than FORCING you to buy a Chevy Volt.  NO DIFFERENCE!

No Common Ground

I have come to the conclusion that I have absolutely no common ground with about 50% of the US population.  If you are a liberal, democrat, socialist, marxist, communist, collectivist (all the same thing, really), then our world views are so contradictory that there is no possible way we can "co-exist".  I believe in freedom and personal responsibility.  You do not.

It is as simple as that.  Your way is winning, I understand that.  If the worst should happen in November, I will "Go Galt" as much as possible until I can find another place to live.  And I will encourage my children to leave the USA in order to build a better life.  I don't know if such a place exists, but I will be looking pretty darn hard.

Wait & See Until November

I keep trying to think about what the next few years will be like.  No matter what I come up with it always depends completely on what happens on Election Day 2012.

The biggest issue is whether we live or die as a country.

If Obama is re-elected and the Senate remains in Democrat hands, we are done.  Finished.  Kaput.  Why?  Because it will mean we have reached the tipping point where the voting majority of the country wants a totalitarian government.  If that happens there is no point to starting a business or trying harder.  It will all just be taken from you "for the common good".

If anyone but Obama is elected and the Republicans take the Senate it will mean we have a slim chance to pull this out as a country.  A slim chance given the stupidity of the Republicans, but still a chance.  Then it might be worth it to build or expand a business and work harder.

But until November it is wait and see.

My Current Cabinet Picks

These are picks I think Romney should make ASAP!  If people know he will surround himself with people who will keep him "honest" they will be more inclined to vote for the RINO.

Secretary of State - John Bolton

Secretary of the Interior - Sarah Palin - you betcha!

Secretary of Defense - Alan West

Secretary of the Treasury - Ron Paul

Attorney General - Judge Andrew Napalitano

That is all.  I would abolish all the other Cabinet posts.

Now that is a ticket I could vote FOR!

Whittle - The Vote Pump - Excellent!

This video is from Bill Whittle and speaks about what money is spent to buy votes.  It is also an excellent lesson on government revenue vs. government spending.

A "Hold Your Nose" Vote - Again

Well, it looks like I'll be holding my nose and voting for whatever jerk the idiot republicans put up against President Feckless.  Again!

But I am coming to terms with doing it.  You see, my vote doesn't really matter and won't change anything, anyway.  The majority of voters will eventually pick Romney.  But even if Gingrich wins the nomination, it doesn't matter.  If the Republican wins in November business in D.C. will go on as usual.  The President and Congress will continue to spend more than they take in.  Taxes will go up - they will just call them fees, or limit deductions on stuff.

We will still be heading for that inevitable cliff. 

If Obama wins, thanks to the majority looter and moocher class of "Americans", we will just get to that cliff a lot sooner.

It will be an interesting time for us all.

 

GOP Establishment Hasn't Got A Clue

Gingrich gets standing ovations at a recent debate.  The GOP thinks it is because we love Gingrich.

Nope.  (Personally I do not like ANY of our choices.)

It is because we actually saw someone apologetically take on the media and FIGHT!  We want a person who will FIGHT for our principals, not promise to "reach across the aisle".

The GOP establishment is really no different than the Democrat establishment.  Both just want the power to rule.

And the GOP establishment does not have a clue what is going on in the base.

Pelosi - Put Up Or Shut up

Pelosi is a despicable piece of liberal trash.  (But I repeat myself.)  She is threatening Gingrich with some "inside knowledge".

Pelosi On A Gingrich Presidency: "That Will Never Happen"

Pelosi: "He's not going to be President of the United States. That's not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction and stand by it, it isn't going to happen."

King: "Why are you so sure?"

Pelosi: "There is something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that's their prerogative. I don't even think that's going to happen."

The wicked witch of the west "knows something".  Please, Nancy, do tell.  Or STFU.

Lord, and this worm was the Speaker of the House.

The Guy Fights Back

I am not a big fan of Gingrich, but, damn, the man does fight!  It is refreshing to see a Republican with the stones to fight back against the media. 

Reminds me of Lincoln's quote on Grant during the Civil War.  Even with all Grant's personal faults, Lincoln said:

"I can't spare this man, he fights."

We need someone who fights.

The MOST Depressing Fact For The Future of The USA

If you are worried about the future of the USA you will not like this information.  Not one bit.

What it the info?

That after three years of seeing what Obama stands for and what he has done to this country he is still in a virtual dead heat tie with any generic Republican who would oppose him.  Obama could very well be re-elected, even with all the evidence of the damage he has done.

Real Clear Politics has an excellent page on this:  President Obama Vs. Republican Candidate
This fact, more than anything else, spells doom for this country.
