Back in the Saddle again...I just can't stand by and only watch...

Well, after a 8 month hiatus, I have decided that I can no longer be removed from the political scene.  No one probably thought that we would ever see a worse President that Carter or the Clintons.  Guess What?  Yep, we've got another one.   This BHO is without a doubt the worst of the bunch.  He was elected by the huge "something-for-nothing" group of citizens that don't have a clue as to what is going on in the world around them.   He also got support from the reigning Democrats who were scared to death that they would lose their control of the nation's pursestrings, something they have controlled since January of 2007 when the Dow was at 14,000.  Never mind that they are solely responsible for the America's financial crisis...oh no...just let us keep our cushy jobs, plush power and unmatchable retirement income.  Heck, they said, let's get this guy in office and we can continue business as usual.  I firmly believe even they had no idea this guy would be so bad.  His first 100 days were a disaster and he shows no signs of letting up.  The only supporters he has left are those on the dole...even the dyed-in-the-wool Liberals are deserting the ship.  Almost no one will admit to voting for him - publicly at least, so how in the heck did he get the job? 
He will, unless checked for now and defeated in 2012, undoubtedly take America down the Socialism path to destruction, render the Constitution ineffective and set new standards for Presidential cowardice.   Our enemies are drooling at the prospect....

Obama in the British Press - BHO: America's best enemy...

By Gerald Warner - London Telegraph
Why does President Pantywaist hate America so badly????

If al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the rest of the Looney Tunes brigade want to kick America to death, they had better move in quickly and grab a piece of the action before Barack Obama finishes the job himself. Never in the history of the United States has a president worked so actively against the interests of his own people - not even Jimmy Carter.

Obama's problem is that he does not know who the enemy is. To him, the enemy does not squat in caves in Waziristan, clutching automatic weapons and reciting the more militant verses from the Koran: instead, it sits around at tea parties in Kentucky quoting from the US Constitution. Obama is not at war with terrorists, but with his Republican fellow citizens. He has never abandoned the campaign trail.

That is why he opened Pandora's Box by publishing the Justice Department's legal opinions on waterboarding and other hardline interrogation techniques. He cynically subordinated the national interest to his partisan desire to embarrass the Republicans. Then he had to rush to Langley, Virginia to try to reassure a demoralized CIA that had just discovered the President of the United States was an even more formidable foe than al-Qaeda.

"Don't be discouraged by what's happened the last few weeks," he told intelligence officers. Is he kidding? Thanks to him, al-Qaeda knows the private interrogation techniques available to the US intelligence agencies and can train its operatives to withstand them - or would do so, if they had not already been outlawed.

So, next time a senior al-Qaeda hood is captured, all the CIA can do is ask him nicely if he would care to reveal when a major population centre is due to be hit by a terror spectacular, or which American city is about to be irradiated by a dirty bomb. Your view of this situation will be dictated by one simple criterion: whether or not you watched the people jumping from the twin towers...

President Pantywaist's recent world tour, cozying up to all the bad guys, excited the ambitions of America's enemies. Here, they realized, is a sucker they can really take to the cleaners. His only enemies are fellow Americans. Which prompts the question: why does President Pantywaist hate America so badly?

Democrats will increase income taxes in 2009!

Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening
Taxes under Clinton 1999                   Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400           Single maki ng 30K - tax $4,500

Single making 50K - tax $14,000         Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $23,250         Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $16,800       Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $21,000       Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $38,750     Married making 125K - tax $31,250
 
Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates
It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton wasthe greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a
good portion of the people that fall into the categories above haven't a clue this will happen.  They will vote for Barack or Hillary and then scream when their take home pay is cut by higher taxes.
 
The Demos want to tax working folks and give it to the illegal immigrants and other non-working poor.  Robin Hood this is not.   If people choose not to learn, not to train, not to take advantage of free education, then they have no right to take money from those who worked hard to get where they are today.   There is no free ride, except it seems, in a country controlled by the Democrats.
 
 Remember the election in 2006?  In just a little over 16 MONTHS ago: 
 
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high; 
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; 
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%. 
 
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen: 
 
1) Consumer confidence plummet to a 5 year low;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.65 a gallon; 
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase); 
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses); 
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; 
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure. 
 
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it! 
 
Remember it's Congress that makes laws not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him. 
 
 If the Republicans had stayed in control in Congress in 2006, we would now be in a much better economical condition.    If we exacerbate the future problem by electing a Democratic President, we will be heading for a recession.   War Hero McCain may not be the perfect candidate, but he is so far above our two Marxist-leaning Demos, that, for intelligent voters, there should be no choice.

More Guns = Less Crime

Historical records and related data show that the more guns that are in the hands of law-abiding citizens, the lower the gun crime rate and crime rate in general.  The states and cities with the strictist gun laws have the highest gun crime!   Just think how many lives would have been saved in Virginia if students & faculty had been armed.   Just think how many shoppers would be alive today in the Nebraska Mall if those few who saw the disturbed young man pull out the rifle and took him down before he had a chance to get off that first shot.  If the teachers had been armed, Columbine would not have happened.  Same goes for employee related shootings.  Every time a demented shooter kills innocent people, blame the gun-control freaks, blame the education administration, blame the employers, do not blame the lack of gun laws.  Currently there are over 300 Federal and State gun control laws on the books plus thousands of local city and county laws.  Adding more laws certainly doesn't make any sense even to the uninformed gun-control advocates...however they still try to add to this total that is estimated to be around 20,000 laws!

What choice does a robber make when he chooses to break into a home?  The one with an armed resident or the one without any way to protect his family.  How many Muggers would try if they weren't sure if the intended victim was armed or not?  Law enforcement does not prevent crime...they just investigate afterwards and try to apprehend the criminal. 

How many people must die before the folks at the Brady Campaign finally shut up about gun control and disarming all citizens.   Britain confiscated guns in 1997 and their GUN crime rate is up 87%.   Same for Canada and Australia.  Gun crime is up!  Hmmm, if those Governments took away all the guns from law-abiding citizens, wonder where the criminals get their guns?

Sorta makes it obvious doesn't it...the Gun Control lobby, headed up by Hillary, Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein and supported by ill-informed groups like The Brady Campaign, Gun Control Rights, Coalition to stop gun violence, Million Mom March, Violence Policy Center; all who want to take guns away from law-abiding citizens but do not want to stop the criminals from having them. They all say the individual has no right to protect themselves or their families, that's what the police are for.  Yeah, Right!...The average time it takes law enforcement to respond to a 911 call is between 8 and 15 minutes in the U.S.  That's IF you have a chance to get to a phone and dial the number.  A criminal can do a lot to your family in 8 minutes or 10 minutes or 15 minutes.  Some of you will be dead by the time the police arrive and the killer is long gone.  You should at least have the opportunity to try to save yourself and your family shouldn't you?  These gun-control nuts say you do not have that right...Leave it all to the Police.  Dumb, really dumb statements, but the liberal media continues to shove this down our throats.

Death by all forms of homicide, (guns, knives, poison, strangulation, clubs, etc.) is 14th out of the top 15 causes of death, amounting to only .07% of all causes of death in the US.  More people commit suicide (1.3%) than are murdered.  The biggest cause of death in children under 21 is the automobile, but you don't see groups running around trying to ban the automobile.  (However, banning under 21 driving licenses might not be a bad idea).

These same mis-guided people want to ban all manufacture of guns, but never promote the banning of vehicle manufacturing.   Kinda silly isn't it to try to ban guns that very well be the difference between life and death when a rapist breaks into a home.  Guns that could well prevent mass shooting rampages.

The 2nd Amendment of our Constitution guarantees law-abiding citizens the right to own a gun.   Why do you think the framers made it number 2 right after free speech?  Because it is that important - that's why.

My advice?....go out today and buy a home protection gun.  A shotgun is best for the untrained.  Get some training, get a carry permit and keep it handy day and night, especially if you live in cities like:  Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans, Newark, St Louis, Oakland, Washington DC, Philly or Buffalo.  To see where your state/city ranks, go to: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
Our Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - but you have to help some!

Lots of data, facts and the rest IMHO of course.   Charly
