All That Is Necessary

After Health-Care? Immigration "Reform"

If this health-care monster isn't enough for you, waiting in the wings is a massive immigration reform bill.

Obama backs plan to legalize illegals

President Obama gave a thumbs up Thursday to the outline of a plan to legalize illegal immigrants and create a flow of low-skilled foreign workers for the future, saying the immigration bill being worked on by a Republican and a Democrat is "promising."

The senators also proposed to turn all Social Security cards into tamper-proof IDs to be checked by employers when they are about to hire a worker. The cards would include biometric information designed to prevent counterfeiting -- but the senators said the information would not be stored in a government database.

Wonderful!  Unemployment is high, so by all means, lets legalize all those illegals that are taking the jobs a LEGAL Americans.  And we know these illegals suck our health-care system of billions of dollars every year.  But government health-care will take care of that, right?

Of course there is an idiot RINO, Lindsay Graham, as one of the co-creators of this next monster.  The biometric identity card is a nice touch, too.  But they promise they won't abuse the card info.  Oh, ok.

This just keeps getting better and better.  Cloward and Piven must be very proud right now.

Debt - It Is OK If You Are The Government Run By Liberals

You probably have seen this headline:

CBO: National Deficit to Hit Nearly $10 Trillion Over Upcoming Decade

"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts that Obama's budget plans would generate deficits over the upcoming decade that would total $9.8 trillion. That's $1.2 trillion more than predicted by the administration."

Hey, what's to worry about?!?!

I keep having this word in my brain.  That word is "unsustainable", as in not being able to be sustained, as in our goose is cooked if we don't stop spending and start paying down debt.

We all know the "stop spending" part will never happen while the liberals are in charge.  So, pray for a massive upheaval this coming November, or stock up on gold/silver/food/ammo.  (Yes, I am one of those "preppers".)

On Why The Government Always Grows

In my reading about the Cloward-Pivens Strategy I came across this absolute gem of a passage.  It tells in the most concise way I have seen why government always grows bigger and bigger.

It was over on American Daughter:

"Why does virtually every liberal scheme result in ever-increasing public spending while conditions seem to get continually worse? There are a number of reasons:

   1. The programs usually create adverse incentives. This is especially true in so-called “anti-poverty” programs. The beneficiaries find government subsidies a replacement for, rather than a supplement to, gainful employment and eventually become incapable of supporting themselves. This in turn creates a dependent culture with its attendant toxic behaviors which demand still more government “remedies.”
   2. The programs create their own industry, complete with scads of “think tanks” and “experts” who survive on government research grants. These are the aptly named “Beltway Bandits.”
   3. They create their own bureaucracies, whose managers conspire with interested members of Congress to continually increase program funding, regardless of merit.
   4. Members of Congress secure votes and campaign donations by extorting them from beneficiaries of such programs, either through veiled threats — “vote for me or those mean Republicans will wipe out your benefits” — or promises of still more bennies.

In short, all develop a vested interest in the program’s survival. But if the result is always more and more government, of government, by government, and for government, with no solution in sight, then why do liberals always see government as the solution rather than the problem?"

Cloward-Pivens use this fact to implement their strategy to bring down the USA.  They are winning at the moment.

Scary Thought - Has Our Government EVER Gotten Smaller Or Less Intrusive?

Think about it.  Since our founding well over two hundred years ago, when we started off with some pretty basic rules on how to run our country, has the government EVER become smaller and/or less intrusive in our daily lives over that time?  (I am talking about our federal government, but it applies to states as well.)

For the first 80 years or so it remained pretty small.  But once we hit the Civil War it took off like a rocket and never looked back. 

Jefferson said:  "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."

How right he was.  Things are bad enough now with the incredible intrusiveness of our government in every part of our lives, but using history as a guide, it will only continue to get worse.

The Tea Party movement is a step in the right direction, but it seems to be a like an ant facing an incoming tsunami and asking it to stop. 

Right now, I have no answers on how to reverse this "natural progress of things".  The only time government has gotten smaller that I know about was the result of a bloody war.

I would like to avoid that if at all possible.

Scott Brown Just Disappointed A Whole Lot Of People

Newly elected Senator Scott Brown from Massachusetts didn't take long to show his true colors.

New U.S. senator helps Democrats advance jobs bill

A modest job-creation bill advanced in the U.S. Senate on Monday as the chamber's newest Republican bucked his party and sided with Democrats on a $15 billion package of tax cuts and highway spending.

Republican Scott Brown joined four other Republicans, 55 Democrats and two independents to overcome a procedural hurdle that sets up a final vote later this week.

This "modest bill" will not create any real jobs and will add $15 Billion to our debt.  There is no reason a true conservative/libertarian would vote for it to proceed.

Scott Brown is our newest RINO politician.  I don't live in Massachusetts.  If I did I would be writing a very nasty letter to his office.

This is a good lesson on not projecting your hopes and dreams onto another person, PARTICULARLY SCUM POLITICIANS!

Sometimes The Collective Stupidity Is Just Too Much

I read the news sites, other blogs, listen to the radio.  Sometimes you just want to bang your head against the wall at all the stupidity of our so-called "leaders".  So I think I will do that:

Gingrich - Shut Up And Go Away

So Gingrich is now saying the republicans should work with Pelosi.

Newt: GOP would be "clever" to work with Pelosi

Gingrich sees the Massachusetts as a boost for his party, but also as a renunciation of go-it-alone by either party, and thinks Republicans would be "clever" to pass a series of relatively non-controversial measures with "huge bipartisan majorities."

Newt, you had your chance and you blew it.  Then you went and sat on a couch with Pelosi and bought into the Climate Change bulls&*t.

And they say you are considering a run in 2012?!?!?!?  Please, God, NO!

Just shut up already, and leave.

If You Have Kids Or Grandkids You Should Be Very Angry

Heck, if you have nieces, nephews or any young person you care about you should be livid with what our government is doing to them.

What is the government doing?  No less than destroying the American Dream for them.  That's what.  What dream would that be?  To me, it is the knowledge that if you study hard, work hard, take responsibility for you actions, and develop your individual talents (whether as a doctor or a dancer or whatever) you will be able to live you life to the fullest with only minimal interference from a controlling government.  Basically, you are a free human being endowed with "certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".

That dream is well on its way to becoming a fable spoken of at night around the fireplace about how things used to be. 

*Our children are already saddled with a crushing debt load that simply cannot be paid back.  And the collectivists are adding more debt as fast as possible.  Our kids will pay the price for this orgy of spending over the past few decades.

*The education system has been dumbed-down thanks to the effects of political correctness cheating our kids out of the benefits of rigorous and tough studies.  But don't worry, the kids "feel good" about themselves.

*Our kids are growing up in an increasingly regulated world where initiative and daring are frowned upon and punished by ridiculous lawsuits or government rules.

*Our kids are being exposed to actions of our Presidents, Senators and Representatives that are reprehensible, lacking all sense of honor or virtue.  Our "leaders" and Hollywood have relegated the concepts of honor and virtue to the trash heap of cultural history.

I could go on, but you get the point.  I am furious at what the government is doing to me, I am livid at what they are doing to my kids' future. 

BUT!  There is something you can do for your kids.  Of course, be active in trying to turn away this tide of collectivism at the ballot box, but the more important thing is to prepare your kids.  Teach them responsibility and self-reliance.  (Yes, a good dose of suvivalism won't hurt!)  Teach them that success comes from within them and not from some government handout.  Show them what the government has done to their future, so they know who to blame down the road.  In short, raise them as Americans should be raised, with pride in themselves and our history as a country.  So, even if the country goes to hell, your kids can be prepared to pick up the pieces and do it right next time. 

Republicans Searching Hard For A Clue

Saw this at FoxNews.com:

GOP Chief: Republicans 'Screwed Up' After Reagan

Here is the intro:

"Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele offers a simple explanation for why the GOP may have lost touch with some Americans since the Ronald Reagan era: "We screwed up," he claims in a new book offering a blueprint for the party's resurgence."

Gee, ya think?!?!?!?!?!

The Republicans since the late 90's have been absolutely horrible!  They have been worse than democrats at times, particularly when it came to spending.  They have no excuse.  They did screw up big-time.  That is why they lost in 2006 AND 2008.  Now look at the mess we have to deal with.

Steele says some goods things, such as:

"We must support Republican officials who assert these principles," he writes. "When elected Republicans vote against Republican principles, the voters must withhold their support -- withhold it vigorously and consistently."

And he does criticize both Bushes, McCain and the republican congress that spent like mad.

However, to-date, his actions don't match his words.  Still, it is nice to see.  I'll keep my eyes and ears open for his actions to match his words in the coming months.  November 2010 is too important to slit our own throats on the "right" side.

If You Think Taxes Are Bad Now......

I think we already pay too much in taxes.  That includes Federal, State, & Local.  Was surfing the web and found a nice little piece that states the problem nicely.  It is called "Government OUTRAGE: 65% tax rates coming".

Here is the important part:

"At the end of the day, the top tax rate in the U.S., starting as early as next year, will soar way over 50% of income. While further number crunching is required, it is a very safe assumption that top income earners will soon be paying over 65% of their income in taxes.

And this while more than 40% of Americans pay no income taxes at all."

Think about that.  The people who actually WORK in this country will get pounded by increased taxes.  The welfare, moocher crowd won't pay a dime.  Guess who these moochers vote for.  Democrats!

This will not end well.
