Senator-Elect Scott Brown's Acceptance Speech

^.^

You know, after the exciting news of last night, I thought about what I might
say on the issue, and I probably *will* add my own thoughts. However, the
person who can best describe the impact of the events of last night is the
man himself. The following are the prepared remarks of Mr. Scott Brown,
the newly-elected Senator-elect of Massachusetts...

SENATOR-ELECT SCOTT BROWN:

"Thank you very much. I’ll bet they can hear all this cheering down in Washington, D.C.

And I hope they’re paying close attention, because tonight the independent
voice of Massachusetts has spoken.

From the Berkshires to Boston, from Springfield to Cape Cod, the voters of this
Commonwealth defied the odds and the experts. And tonight, the independent majority
has delivered a great victory.

I thank the people of Massachusetts for electing me as your next United States senator.

Every day I hold this office, I will give all that is in me to serve you well and make you proud.

Most of all, I will remember that while the honor is mine, this Senate seat belongs to no one
person and no political party - and as I have said before, and you said loud and clear today,
it is the people’s seat.

Interim Senator Paul Kirk has completed his work as a senator by appointment of the governor,
and for the work he has done, I thank him. The people, by their votes, have now filled the office
themselves, and I am ready to go to Washington without delay.

I also want to thank Martha Coakley for her call of congratulations. A hard contest is now behind
us, and now we must come together as a Commonwealth.

This special election came about because we lost someone very dear to Massachusetts, and to
America. Senator Ted Kennedy was a tireless and big-hearted public servant, and for most of my
lifetime was a force like no other in this state. His name will always command the affection and
respect by the people of Massachusetts, and the same goes for his wife Vicki. There’s no replacing
a man like that, but tonight I honor his memory, and I pledge my very best to be a worthy successor.

I said at the very beginning, when I sat down at the dinner table with my family, that win or lose we
would run a race which would make us all proud. I kept my word and we ran a clean, issues oriented,
upbeat campaign - and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

When I first started running, I asked for a lot of help, because I knew it was going to be me against
the machine. I was wrong, it was all of us against the machine. And after tonight we have shown
everyone that - now - you are the machine.

I'm glad my mom and dad, brothers, sisters, and so many family members are here tonight.

Once again, before I go any further, I want to introduce somebody very special... That is my wife, Gail.

And as you know, my wife Gail couldn't join me on the campaign trail because of her work as a Boston
TV journalist. But I will let you in on a little secret. She didn't stay neutral today, and she voted for the
winner. I rely as always, on Gail's love and support and that of our beautiful daughters.

Arianna will be returning a day or two late to her pre-med studies at Syracuse, because she’s been giving
her all to this campaign. As always, Arianna and her sister Ayla have been a joy to Gail and me, and we're
so grateful to them both. Even before her campaign performances, millions of Americans had already heard
Ayla’s amazing voice on “American Idol.” As Boston College basketball fans know, she’s also pretty good
on the court.

If the President thinks they’ve got basketball talent at the White House, I ask him to pick his best teammate
and find some time to play two-on-two with Ayla and me.

I’m grateful to all those from across Massachusetts who came through for me even when I was a long shot. I
especially thank a friend who was there with encouragement from the very beginning, and helped show us the
way to victory - former Governor Mitt Romney.

I’ll never forget the help of another man who took the time to meet with me months ago - who told me I could win,
and gave me confidence for the fight. It was all so characteristic of a truly great and heroic American, and tonight I
thank my new colleague, Senator John McCain.

On a night like this, when so many people mark your name on a statewide ballot, you think back to the first people
who gave you a chance and believed. For the trust they placed in me, and for all they have taught me, I thank my
neighbors and friends in my Senate district and especially my hometown of Wrentham. The cause and victory that
all America has seen tonight started right there with all of you.

Let me tell you when I first got the feeling something big was happening in this campaign. It was when I was driving
along and spotted a handmade, Scott Brown yard sign that I hadn’t actually put there myself.

This little campaign of ours was destined for greater things than any of us knew, and the message went far beyond
the name on the sign.

It all started with me, my truck, and a few dedicated volunteers. It ended with Air Force One making an emergency
run to Logan. I didn't mind when President Obama came here and criticized me - that happens in campaigns. But
when he criticized my truck, that's where I draw the line.

We had the machine scared and scrambling, and for them it is just the beginning of an election year filled with surprises.
They will be challenged again and again across this country. When there’s trouble in Massachusetts, there’s trouble
everywhere - and now they know it.

In every corner of our state, I met with people, looked them in the eye, shook their hand, and asked them for their vote.
I didn’t worry about their party affiliation, and they didn’t worry about mine. It was simply shared conviction that brought
us all together.

One thing is clear, voters do not want the trillion-dollar health care bill that is being forced on the American people.

This bill is not being debated openly and fairly. It will raise taxes, hurt Medicare, destroy jobs, and run our nation deeper
into debt. It is not in the interest of our state or country - we can do better.

When in Washington, I will work in the Senate with Democrats and Republicans to reform health care in an open and
honest way. No more closed-door meetings or back room deals by an out of touch party leadership. No more hiding
costs, concealing taxes, collaborating with special interests, and leaving more trillions in debt for our children to pay.

In health care, we need to start fresh, work together, and do the job right. Once again, we can do better.

I will work in the Senate to put government back on the side of people who create jobs, and the millions of people who
need jobs - and as President John F. Kennedy taught us, that starts with an across the board tax cut for individuals
and businesses that will create jobs and stimulate the economy. It's that simple!

I will work in the Senate to defend our nation’s interests and to keep our military second to none. As a lieutenant colonel
and 30-year member of the Army National Guard, I will keep faith with all who serve, and get our veterans all the benefits
they deserve.

And let me say this, with respect to those who wish to harm us, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect
this nation - they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should
pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them.

Raising taxes, taking over our health care, and giving new rights to terrorists is the wrong agenda for our country. What I've
heard again and again on the campaign trail, is that our political leaders have grown aloof from the people, impatient with
dissent, and comfortable in the back room making deals. And we can do better.

They thought you were on board with all of their ambitions. They thought they owned your vote. They thought they couldn’t
lose. But tonight, you and you and you have set them straight.

Across this country, we are united by basic convictions that need only to be clearly stated to win a majority. If anyone still
doubts that, in the election season just beginning, let them look to Massachusetts.

Fellow citizens, what happened in this election can happen all over America. We are witnesses, you and I, to the truth that
ideals, hard work, and strength of heart can overcome any political machine. We ran a campaign never to be forgotten, and
led a cause that deserved and received all that we could give it.

And now, because of your independence, and your trust, I will hold for a time the seat once filled by patriots from John Quincy
Adams to John F. Kennedy and his brother Ted. As I proudly take up the duty you have given me, I promise to do my best for
Massachusetts and America every time the roll is called.

I go to Washington as the representative of no faction or interest, answering only to my conscience and to the people.
I’ve got a lot to learn in the Senate, but I know who I am and I know who I serve.

I’m Scott Brown, I'm from Wrentham, I drive a truck, and I am nobody’s senator but yours.

Thank you very much.

How the Underwear Bomber Dealt Serious Damage to Obama

^.^

While the vast majority of the populace of the country had a nice Christmas, a Nigerian citizen
boarded a plan in Amsterdam. He paid for his ticket with cash at the last minute, he bought
a one-way ticket, and he had no carry-on luggage. When he was unable to produce a valid
passport, an associate of the man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, said that he was from the
Sudan, and "we do this kind of thing all the time".

We all know the ending to this one ... Abdulmutallab was carrying a chemical explosive similar
to that carried by the "shoe bomber" Richard Reid. He managed to get through the security
checkpoint in Amsterdam, and it wasn't until the plane was approaching Detroit, when he was
trying to trigger the explosive that a Dutch passenger intervened and stopped the whole thing.

Now, even though the "underwear bomber" failed in his mission, even if only by the grace of a
failed trigger, the entire incident, and its aftermath has exposed the inability and incompetance
of the Obama administration when it comes to fighting the war on terrorism.

From Janet "the Incompetant" Nepolitano, who said that the system had "worked", despite the
fact that it DIDN'T ... and she then had to reverse the statement, to the State Department not
getting the information from the CIA that was retrieved from the man's FATHER who said "Hey,
my son might be a terrorist!"

Then there's the idea that Britain had already had Abdulmutallab on a no-fly list, so he was not
allowed to fly into London, but perfectly okay to fly into Detroit.

While I am certainly not an Obama supporter, the administration and its supporters really should
stop making hating them so easy. With the attack at Fort Hood, and now the "underwear bomber"
incident, the American people are getting a distinct feeling of INSECURITY, and they are placing
the blame squarely on the head of Barack Hussein Obama (mmm .. mmm .. mmm) and the
lightweights that infest the administration.

About the only good news is that the mid-term elections are only eleven months away.

I WIN! The End of the Tiff WIth Frank

^.^

Quite frankly, this is an entry that is a long time coming, and to bring you all up to
speed, I must do a bit of background for you...

Within the first few blog entries of my blog, I told you about Frank, who was my
room-mate at that time, and being a Liberal, he hated conservative stars such
as Ann Coulter, whom if he had his way, would meet a mysterious death somewhere,
whereas I always felt that a person should be allowed to speak their arguments,
even if you disagreed with them.

Now, as you may or may not know, depending on what I said about Frank in those
earlier entries, Frank works at the local talk radio station, KOWB, heard in the Laramie
WY area at 1290 AM. KOWB's morning and afternoon programming consists of
three hours of Rush Limbaugh and three hours of Sean Hannity before going to
sports, so Frank has felt that he works in a hostile environment of sorts.

More recently, I have written a couple of emails to Frank, and the station manager
of KOWB when Frank has acted in ways that I consider un-professional, such as
referring to program snippets by conservatives such as Mike Hucklebee by things
other than their name, or making derisive remarks about Rush Limabugh on the
air.

Now, while Frank has as much right to free speech as the next person, there are limits,
for business practices and such, and talking down at the programming on the radio
station you work for, is one of those things that should best be left off the air. Advertisers
don't want people turning off the station in anger over comments that the station
announcer makes.

So, I sent two emails to Frank and the station manager about the remarks, and considered
the matter closed.

Fast-forward to yesterday, August 8, 2009. I was eating at a chinese buffet when Frank walked
in the door. He looked very thin, and it seems as though he's not been having fun recently.
However, any disagreements I've had in the past with him were the furthest from my mind as
I got up and went over to him. After all, KOWB has a new station announcer in the morning, and
I have been wondering what the deal was. So I went over to Frank, greeting him with "Hey Frank,
how are you doing", or some such thing. He responded with: "I don't want to be associated with you."

I went back to my friends and continued to eat. Frank however, kinda stormed around looking for a
seat, then mumbled to the waiter that he'd be back later, and then he stormed out, slamming the
door behind him. He got in his car, and drove off very quickly. He made such a scene, that it got
comments from not only my two friends, but other patrons of the restaurant, who thought that
Frank acted very rudely.

The idea that I am able to drive Frank from the scene and make him so upset was absolutely
fabulous to me. Ok, so I am small a bit, but it appears that I have made an impact on him. I'm
not sure why he still feels as he does, and he spoiled the perfect situation to have a quick
conversation on it. Despite him being a Liberalista Obummer Kool-ade drinker, I don't dislike
the man personally, and in fact, seeing his condition, I am a bit concerned for his welfare.

And his guy won the 2008 election! He should be upbeat and happy. Rush Limbaugh, Sean
Hannity, and local conservatives such as myself should be relagated to whining about the
bad smell of the bathrooms for the next four years as far as the Liberalistas such as Frank
are concerned, but as anyone can see from the way that Liberalistas from the President and
his administration on down are reacting to conservative opposition to Liberalista policies,
the current administration and its supporters can not seem to tolerate an opposing voice.

Even if that voice is simply saying HELLO.

Treating Ex-Presidents Civilly

^.^

Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na,
Hey hey hey,
Goodbye.

These lyrics to this 60s era song were used by the
crowd at the Obama inauguration to serenade former
President Bush as he came down to his seat to watch
the swearing in of our 44th President, Barack Hussein
Obama.

This kind of disrespect almost makes me ashamed to be
an American. We didn't see this kind of rudeness when
President Clinton left office, and of course, there were
all sorts of people who were political enemies of both
Bill and his wife. I got to see the first inaugaration
of President George W. Bush, and the former President
was treated with the respect he deserved.

One wonders if President Bush could see the placards that
were in the crowd...the ones that called for him to be
arrested.

Prehaps I should not be surprised. A new internet video
for Momlogic.com uses a two-year old as a pawn in an
anti-Bush video. These are the same people who voted for
Obama simply because of "hope" and "change", people who
couldn't even name the person he was running against. Yet
these same vacuous people have the unmitigated gall to
treat President Bush worse than dirt.

These people forget that President Bush never walked into
the Oval Office searching for a controversy. They forget
that we were attacked in Spetember of 2001 and nearly 3000
people were killed. They forget that we liberated two
countries and 50 million people. People can disagree with
President Bush, even on some of these things, but up until
now, these disagreements have general been civil.

However, people with Bush Derangement Syndrome are not about
civility, they are about twisting the dagger just a little bit
more... The problem these people are going to have is that they
will only be able to complain, whine, and moan about President
Bush for about a week before he fades from the scene, and
people won't be able to blame him for very much. Certainly
the psychos who are on the extreme Left will continue to
be around for as long as they have things to hate.

The rest of us will move on.

Look, I don't agree with Presint Obama's politics or policies,
and I believe that the country will be worse off in 2012,
when Obama runs for re-election. However, I also don't want
the country to fall completely apart in the next four years,
and President Obama should be given the respect that is due
to anyone who occupies the Oval Office.

I Want My Bailout!!

^.^

AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and now Ford, GM, and Chrysler all have gone to the federal government with their hands out,asking for money from Congress, ie: you and me. They say that the economic crisis was unexpected, and it threw all of their plans to become more "financially viable" out the window. Various federal officials have said that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and AIG were "too big to fail", and of course, if one of the Big 3 auto makers tanks, well that will just ripple out into the economy, and it will cause all sorts of problems...

Yeah, and from my Econ 101 class a few years ago, I found out that all of that is called "capitalism". Of course, with the election of Barack O'Bummer, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, who will heal the world and make the ocean levels rise or fall... we won't be worried too much about that evil system of capitalism that we have been using since the founding of the nation...

I'm not the first to propose this. I heard the story on the Rush Limbaugh radio show a couple days ago, but I had thought of it before I'd heard it on the radio. If a government bailout is good for AIG, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and the others. If the auto makers can go to Washington DC and *BEG* for money, if credit card companies can pass themselves off as banks in order to put their hand in the till, so to speak, I figure I have an angle on this too.

Look, I am getting an MS/P on December 1 in Psychology. I am planning on applying to the University of Wyoming for a Master's degree in Counselling. This will allow me to get the year of field experience that most employers want, it will put me on the proper path to state liscensing, and it will complete my education in this field. I currently owe about $80K in student loans, and I estimate that the new MS degree will cost an additional $20-40K. However, even if I low-ball the thing and start my own practice, I'd guess I could repay the loan within 5 - 10 years.

So, I have a short-term need, much like the auto makers. There is the possibility of a good result, much like the auto makers, and I have a plan for repayment, much like the government does with respect to the auto makers.

So, I want a bailout from the government!

Why not? I deserve it as much as the auto makers!

Being realistic for a bit, two things...

First, as Rush said, no one should be surprised that all sorts of companies are trying to get in on the bailout binge that has hit DC. Hey, if AIG can be bailed out, if the auto makers will eventually get assistance, why not anyone else who is suffering economic hardship. Such a wide-ranging handout of money would make our economy implode, but no one seems to care very much.

Second, I probably will get a government bailout...or at least a government-backed repayment plan on my loans. See, let's say I get that additional $40K. Now I owe $120K, which I will then consolidate, and then hand to the government to take over. Sure if I default, I will be in HUGE trouble, but once I am done with my education and I have job prospects, I won't have a problem with repaying the loans.

A bailout however, would be less painful.

Hiding Out for the Next Four Years!

^.^

Alright, if you are a fan of this site, or simply a Conservative, or even a Republican, the next four years are going to be hard to take. For example, it's been not even a WEEK after the election results came in, and we've already heard that Barack Obama is reviewing President Bush's executive orders, some 200+ of them, and he's already planning to overturn some of them.

However, as Fred Barnes is saying right now, and as I said in a recent blog post, all the Republicans need to do, at least for now, is sit back and let the Democrats, and Liberalistas BE THEMSELVES. There are a number of issues, such as immigration, global warming, energy production, and the economic gap between the rich and middleclass...these issues are things that Republicans can build a serious opposition on, while at the same time supporting Obama where it's sensible to do so....which may be NEVER, but who knows...Clinton was sensible in signing NAFTA...

As for us here at Politics City, we're going to refer to Obama while taking our feelings into account.

Oh Bummer.

The American Conservative Party

^.^

It's time for people to move away from the mainstream Republican and Democrat parties. In the
election we just concluded, the American people had to choose between a middle-to-Left Republican
who was very comfortable making deals with the other side when it was convenient, and a unabashedly
Liberal Left Democrat, and in a contest on who can be the more Left, the real Lefty will win...and he did.

John McCain, good man that he is, is not the Conservative that he claims to be. We as a people need
new leadership that real Conservatives can be proud of, real leadership that Conservatives can get behind
and support.

With that in mind, I am forming the American Conservative Party.

Now, I understand that third parties have never made much of a difference in American politics, to which
I would tell you that until yesterday, Americans had never elected a Black man. The American Conservative
Party could well become a party that elects people to local or national office. That will be up to the people in
the party. At the very least, I see the ACP as being an organization that points out real Conservatives in
the mainstream parties, like Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal on the Republican side, and Senator Joseph Lieberman, formerly of the Democrat party.

The platform of the American Conservative Party is as follows:

- The ACP supports fewer government regulations on business and industry, this will lower taxes on business and allow them to continue to be the showcase of American inginuity.

- The ACP opposes the expansion of welfare, and supports the establishment and expansion of work programs and work opportunities.

- The ACP opposes affirmitive action and quotas, rather, these positions should be attained by individual merit, as this supports and affirms the value of the individual, and their own skills and achievements.

- The ACP supports the responsible use of the land. Industry has shown us that land has multiple uses, both at the same time, and after industrial use is completed. Any use of land should be conducted responsibly, while maintaining the ability of the land to be used in a different manner at a later time.

- Our natural resources should be expanded. Oil reserves need to be expanded through drilling in areas such as ANWR, an off-shore areas in those states who want to do so. However, we should also allow for the expansion of alternative sources of fuel, including nuclear energy, solar power, wind energy, etc.

- The ACP does not support the establishment of a national health care system. Rather, individuals are best able to decide for themselves what kinds of health care insurance are best for them. Prices for health insurance can be lowered through supporting an expansion of the health care market.

- Our immigration laws need to be enforced across the board. Illegal aliens crossing the border should be deported immediately, if illegal immigrants are picked up for some other violation of the law, they should be deported. If a company is caught hiring undocumented illegal aliens, they should be fined heavily. The government
should assist in the establishment of resources to support these policies.

- The ACP supports our military forces, and their work in maintaining a strong national defense. The men and women who defend our freedoms deserve our unqualified support, whether that is in the field where they risk
their lives in service to their country, or whether that be at home.

- The ACP supports the persecution of the War on Terror, we believe that this conflict needs to be won in order
to keep our own country secure.

- The ACP supports the freedom of the airwaves, and other forms of communication. Establishment of such things as the Fairness Doctrine is an infringement of our constitutional rights, and should be opposed out of principle.

- The ACP supports lower taxation where it can happen, be it at the local, state, or national level. Lower taxes allows for greater economic activity.

- The ACP supports a woman's right to choose, but we hope that the choice is for life.

---

We believe that these above platform ideas represent Conservativism to the best of our ability. We support those who agree with these ideas, and the Conservative ideal. We hope to be a part of a revival of the Conservative
movement, and we will push for the election of Conservatives at all levels of our government.

The Democrats are DOOMED

^.^

Obama has won yesterday's election and will become the 44th President of the United States.

The Democrats are DOOMED.

How's that, you might ask. Well, after January 20, 2009, the Liberalista Dems will control the
White House, they will have expanded their majority in the US House, and they will have just
short of a fillibuster-proof majority in the US Senate.

Right now, despite the fact that the Democrats can pass whatever they wish through Congress
and put it on the President's desk, they still have Republicans that they can blame the failure to
pass bills on.

Now, with the expanded majorities, with Republicans in such a minority that they are virtually
irrelevant. Democrats have no excuse for any poor perfomance that happens. Liberalista Dems
had better hope that everything in the world goes swimmingly for the next four years. Otherwise,
in 2012, you will see a wave sweeping Democrats out of government.

Do you believe that President Obama will have an easy time, a peaceful time? Already there are
serious issues that he will face. Our economy has taken a hit, and the president of Russia has made
noises about putting jamming units in eastern Europe to oppose our missile defense system there.
Israel attacked a suspected tunnel in the Gaza Strip (justifiably), and Iran has said that they don't
expect Us-Iran relations to improve.

And these are just some of the problems that we have to deal with NOW, much less what happens
between now and 2012.

Republicans will be able to run on Obama and the Democrats' inability to rise to some upcoming
situation, an inability to pass an important bill, or an inability to resolve an upcoming problem.

It will be all on them, and it will be their responsibility, and it will be their fault.

I'm Racist...Apparently

^.^

I'm racist...apparently.

You see, according to Barrack Hussein O'Bama and the Liberalista lackeys that are helping him
run for the Presidency, if I mention pretty much anything about O'Bama, his ears, his middle name,
his wife, the people he has associated with in the past, the fact that he wants to impose Socialism
on the country, all of these things the Liberals have said are racist, or codewords for racism.

This from people who have excelled in bringing race into the campaign. Remember the whole line
O'Bama tried to scare people with? That McCain would attempt to scare you by pointing out his
middle name, and that he doesn't look like "all of the Presidents on the dollar bills", and by the
way, they'll mention that he's Black.

Please note that while O'Bama warns against McCain bringing racism into the game, it is O'Bama
and *his* campaign that has injected race as an issue into the campaign. And it hasn't just been
O'Bama himself, but Michelle O'Bama, as well as campaign operatives such as Pennsylvania governor
Ed Rendell, who speculated that hidden racism would cost O'Bama roughly 5 points in the election.

Getting back to the point, O'Bama tells us all that we're racist for bringing up all of these things about
him, but in doing so, he stifles the Free Speech rights of all of us, including radio commentators and
blog writers.

I for one, refuse to have my rights violated in such a way, so I will point out the following:

1: Look at Barrack Hussein O'Bama's huge ears! They give Mickey Mouse a run for his money!

2:  O'Bama's middle name is Hussein. As he put it recently, apparently he was given this name by
someone who never thought he'd run for president of anything, and given that O'Bama has been
endorsed by some of the Middle East's most prolific terrorist groups, such as Hamas and Hezbollah,
well, perhaps Hussein is a perfect name for him.

3: Michelle O'Bama is an America-hating woman, who apparently was first "really proud" of her country
in 2008, with the candidacy of her husband, because "hope is making a comeback." *GAG* She also
described the United States as a "downright mean country", this despite the fact that with a lot of hard
work, the people of this country have come a long way in making things better for Blacks in America, and
by extension, *ALL* Americans.

4: Like his wife, O'Bama has pall-ed around with others who are also America haters. Jeremiah Wright,
who accused the US of inventing the AIDS virus to kill Blacks, who said that we got what we had coming
in 9/11 with: "America's chickens are coming home to roost." There are others in the religious arena
who like Wright, support O'Bama, but not the country.

Do we want them running the White House?

There's the unrepentant terrorist, William Ayers, who was once a member of the Weatherman Underground.
Back in the 70s, this group pulled off bombings in Washington DC, including the Pentagon. I'm not sure how
Ayers got around doing hard time for these bombings, but he has gone on to become a professor in Illinois,
an example that standards for hiring professors needs to be improved in Illinois. Ayers has also not apologized
for his past mis-deeds, in fact, within days of 9/11, Ayers told the New York Times that his only regret was that
he didn't do more. Nowdays Ayers is working on the harmless little task of promoting Socialism in the schools
of America.

Do we want Ayers in an O'Bama Administration?

5: We have heard that O'Bama wants to re-distribute wealth, away from those earning more than $250,000 per
year, which he believes is the top 5% of wage earners. The problem is that economists say:

    a: O'Bama's tax plan will actually hit those earning roughly $42,000 per year, and...

    b: O'Bama's tax plan will not cover the costs of the programs he wants to create.

What will happen then of course is that O'Bama will come to us and say what Bill Clinton did in 1992. "Folks", he'll say, "I'm sorry, but I have to tax the middle class in order to pay for these programs." If you don't think he'll
tax the middle class, what do you think $42,000 a year is, and that's the $250,000 tax level that he'll discover doesn't work. Quite frankly, I feel safe in saying that if you pay taxes now, you'll pay more under Barrack Hussein O'Bama.

In pointing out all of these things, I reclaim my right to free speech, something given to me by God, and re-affirmed by people who were in a much higher pay grade than Barrack Hussein O'Bama. I am the one paying for this space, and within it, I say what I want, about whomever I want. If they don't like it, they can call me a racist
all they want.

Celebrity Stars to Flee McCain Presidency

^.^

Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and other Hollywood Lefties have all said that a McCain presidency will be "dangerous" for America. Let's forget for a moment that the only way this statement can be even close to true would be if John McCain were to raise an army, march on Washington, seize the government by force, and declare himself the new monarch of the Empire of America.

He should, perhaps think about this...

I think that perhaps the Hollywood blowhards should remember that we have had over 200 years of politics in our history. That's over 200 years of different people, different political parties, different circumstances such as peace and war, and civil disturbances and such... Through all of this, the country has survived, and in fact, it has prospered.

I have about the same reaction to the Liberalista blowhards on this as I do toward my friends who have said before this or that event that the country was "doomed". In fact, the country was not doomed due to the actions of any one President, it's not been doomed through the actions of any political party, it's not been doomed through the actions of any private citizen or company, and it's not been doomed through trends, such as the trend in the late 1800s toward relatively weak and ineffective Presidents.

The problem I have about this is not so much that Baldwin, Robbins, and others are once again running their mouths. The thing is that this is not the first time that these people have said "OhMiGod, we're doomed! I'm moving to Canada if Bush is elected!" As recently as this week, none of these Liberalistas have put their money where their mouth is. A number of prominent Conservatives have even offered to pay for the trip, provided that it is a one-way trip.

And what are the Hollywood Liberalistas worried about? One quick look at the scoail scene shows that the rich and famous can live quite well in Europe, not to mention that the adoption cradle of the stars is a whole lot closer if the parents-to-be live in Europe.

The whole whining argument is actually a good defense of the United States. These cinema stars don't want to lose the rights that allow them to get in front of the camera and microphone and make complete STUPID FOOLS of themselves.

You only get to do that in America, and by NOT leaving, the Hollywood Liberalistas prove that they really like the place...
