Red Blooded American Boy

Archive for January, 2010

Karl Rove declared this week that the State Of The Union speech is not a reset button for Obama. Rove is right. Elections are the reset button. This year, millions are posed to give it a push.

Dick Armey (R-Texas) was rallying the Republican troops today. The former GOP leader of the House issued a challenge to get “small-government, grass-roots conservatives” back in the Republican camp.

Good luck.

Armey acknowledged the difficulty with this considering the overall failure of the 1994 Republican Revolution to solidify and sustain their “Contract With America” for a prolonged period of time. As I recall, the Republicans started with a strong start steering Clinton into passing welfare reform and less government spending. However, Republicans always acted like the underdogs, never putting up much of a fight. Eventually, they morphed into big spending Democrats while hiding from criticism of political enemies and the press. They became spineless weenies.

So, the tea-party people like me are concerned about electing so called Republicans back into office. We fear that over time that the same echo of history will be repeated. We don’t want them to be voted in and then act like visitors to Washington.

Republican Rep. John Shimkus echoed Armey’s concerns saying, “…you walked away from your core principles and values, that’s why you have an outside conservative movement because they have no home.”

Thats why we need to hit the reset button. Lets just get all new blood into Washington so we can prove who is really in charge.

If government regulations about healthcare and CO2 emissions make you anxious, you might turn to the tube to relax. Forget it. Democrats now want to control advertising on your TV. Under the guise of controlling “loud” TV commercials, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) are taking government control to a new low. The brilliantly titled, “Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation” or CALM laws will regulate the volume of commercials blaring from your TV.

How stupid is this? Don’t they know that Americans take their TV seriously! Americans also like their TV commercials and love the freedom of using their remotes to turn the volume up or down. Also, not all commercials are loud. There are plenty of times commercials are actually lower in volume than regular programming. Should this not be a function of the TV makers? Can’t they make TVs that normalize volume if we choose? I want to know how many retired folks use the commercials to track time, waking to take medicine and such when their show is over.

This is really an assault on capitalism. Democrats are looking for all ways to limit the ability of businesses to advertise their products – loud or not. The cost of mandating additional technology being placed into TVs will increase cost and kill jobs. I wonder if these statists will keep my volume from going to mute when I turn on CSPAN at night to fall asleep?

Obama’s first State Of The Union address was delivered with pomp-ass arrogance. A year ago, liberals were falling out on the floor with the sound of his voice. The rest of his hopeful voters listened to his words with some element of faith.

Now, his voice incites anger in the bowels of Americans. People now feel a smack against their faces when they hear Obama’s eloquent delivery. If anyone was calm enough to actually listen to what he was saying, then the contempt for America would have incited rage.

Obama talked down to Americans while talking over them. America was already insulted before he spoke. Now they are really angry.

Thank you for throwing more fuel on the fire of revolution in America. Obama’s second State of the Union address will be less glorious year from now. The rebellion surrounding him will incinerate his facade.

Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty. — Ronald Wilson Reagan, President Of The United States

Nothing good will come of the American effort to rescue and rebuild Haiti. Americans will infuse millions of dollars and it will disappear in the land of embezzlement. Our cash will fund the bullets used to kill needy Haitians when the world is not looking.

American soldiers will dig people out of the rubble and feed those who are hungry. These soldiers will eventually be accused of not doing enough or moving fast enough to make a difference. Eventually, the soldiers will be blamed for Haitian abuse and neglect. They are already being accused of being occupiers of a foreign land by others around the globe.

Obama declared that America will be a hero to Haiti. In the end, Obama will be blamed for hype, not heroism. The main reason for this is because Haiti is a very corrupt and violent place. We can not expect to drop in money to help and have any good results. Good seed will not grow on that barren ground. Yes, for a short time our efforts will be helpful. But, as the rebuilding effort continues, spirits of discontent will crawl out of unsettled graves and haunt Obama. Being a citizen of the world will not save Obama from critics, either.

To be clear, I am not referring to the common people in Haiti. They are and will be most appreciative of our help. However, the common people have no voice and no influence in politics. The corrupt leadership that remains will be an obstacle for success. The newly endowed leadership rising from the dust will intrude in our humanitarian efforts. In order to keep themselves out of trouble, the leadership in Haiti will start pointing fingers. Those fingers will point right at us. The United Nations will most certainly jump on the blame America band-wagon. It would not surprise me if the Haitian leadership blamed George W. Bush for their problems, too.

The finger-pointing has already started. Anderson Cooper of CNN reported on how the dead are being tossed around in mounds in Haiti. In his special report, “Dishonoring The Dead” tonight he outlined how Haitian officials and staff of the US State Department are doing nothing to keep people from being thrown in piles of dead bodies. America is already getting egged for its efforts.

In the end, our charity will be our disparity.

James Carville is entertaining. He is one of the most obnoxious clowns in the circus of Democrats occupying Washington. His latest skit declares W. Bush as the source of Obama’s troubles. Blame Bush, Blame Bush, Blame Bush.

Why not? Obama has already been praising Bush for his “inherited” problems. Obama kick started his Presidency by stepping on the Bush legacy. Certainly, Bush tarnished his own mantle by spending, spending and even more spending.

So, here we are a year later. Obama and our liberal Congress have made Bush’s spending seem like throwing pennies in a well. Democrats have increased the national debt ceiling and deficit spent more than any other administration ever. Recent elections show that Americans are not happy anymore

Maybe, Obama should blame Bush. After all he is carbon copying Bush’s monopoly money game — only to a worse degree. Bad policy equal bad results. Americans don’t like bad results.

After publishing a book this year, prophesying “40 More Years” of liberal leadership, Carville has to wipe the egg off of his own political face. So, Carville needs to blame Bush for his own failures in punditry. His opinions are worthless.

Carville claims a “next generation” will live life enveloped in liberal ideology. Which generation is that?

Baby boomers like their government security blanket. They can add and subtract, too. Boomers know that adding millions more to a government program will not decrease the cost of the service while increasing the availability of it. Liberals are lying to them, and they know it. They will get off their lazy chair and vote those government growers right out of office in an automatic implantable defibrilated heartbeat.

Generation X is coming of age and coming of power. We are independent souls. We would rather push entitlement elders in Congress right down the steps of the Capital building. X’rs do not like being manhandled or robbed by government pilfers. Government needs to kindly get the heck out of way, please.

The Millennials are fighting our war on terror today. They have a passion for America and are giving of themselves – even their own lives. But, they do not die for the state itself. Instead, they fight for their families and communities back home. Security and the American way of life are vertebrae in the spine of their battles.

None of these generations lean easily to a Liberal agenda. They are not willing to surrender Freedom for the power of the State. The war you been fightin’ is over, Carville. Too bad Bush was better at fighting a war. Guess you can blame Bush for that, too.
