Obama a gift to conservatism??

Before you think I have my head stuck somewhere it doesn't belong  when I say that the election of Barack Obama has been a gift to the conservative movement, let me explain.
 
If John McCain had gotten elected, he would have been an endless source of frustration for us consertives, like Bush was towards the end of his term. But since he was a Republican (In Name Only), it would have been delaying the inevitability of a Democrat winning (probably Obama in 2012), because the American people would quickly have gotten fed up with him over things like Cap & Trade, Illegal Immigration, etc and thrown him out of office in 2012. Over those four years, the Democrats would have been backstabbing him like they did Bush and have done to McCain ever since 2000 or beyond, meanwhile gathering more vitriol and venom. Then when they got the White House in 2013, they would have almost assuredly over reached but had more and more powerful troops in their camp to ram their Marxist agenda down our throats.
 
Now with the Democrats showing their true colors the American people are waking up to the fact that the modern Democrat party is not the same Democrat party of their Grandfather, perhaps Father. Instead the Democrats have lurched so far to the left that a self proclaimed communist (Van Jones) was an advisor to Obama, a person who considers Mao Tse Tung a political hero of hers (Anita Dunn) is the (now outgoing) White House communications director, and so on and so forth. John F. Kennedy would not be welcome in the modern democrat party or so it seems.
 
If the American people once again trust the Republican party to be Republicans and have the reigns of power, they need to act like Republicans not Democrat Lites like they did most of Bush's term. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, We need bold colors not pale pastels when it comes to the two parties. I am not 100% convinced that a third party is the best idea, because Ross Perot running third party in 1992 handed the White House to Bill Clinton. On the other hand being that I live in Minnesota and how I saw both the Republicans and the Democrats were allied against Jesse Ventura when he was our governor, and how nothing got done and that it was a good thing, perhaps if the Republicans start to go wobbly again, then it will be time for a third party.
 
I think err scratch that I KNOW the Silent Majority of Americans has been awakened and now that we are awake, we are as mad as hell, and we're not going to take it any more.
 
However the Republican party could easily snatch defeat from the jaws of victory if they nominate another John McCain / Lindsey Grahm type Republican (In Name Only). I feel this is evidenced by what happend in Upstate New York were the party brass nominated a very liberal RINO in DeDe Scozzafava, thus forcing the party loyalists to hold their nose and vote for her (except for the fact she dropped out then supported the Democrat). Thankfully in that case there was another choice in Doug Hoffman. In 2012, if we get another McCain type as our nominee, you'll see more and more steam behind someone like Ron Paul.
 
Please accept my apology for not posting anything lately, it is because I am unemployed and have been focusing on finding a job. Additionally I do alot of political commentary on my Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?v=feed&id=1417080781

The Failed policies of the last eight..... MONTHS!

I am literally about ready to barf, after hearing the sound bite of Captain Catchphrase Barack Obama speaking before what Rush accurately described as the Star Wars Bar Scene aka the United Nations.
 
The Narcissist in chief Obama, trashes his country anytime he speaks to the world. Didn't his mother ever tell him, if you have nothing nice to say, shut the hell up?
 
Here is a letter I sent to the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
 

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the industrious out of it. You don't multiply wealth by dividing it. Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from somebody else. Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to enjoy the fruit of their labor." --Dr. Adrian Rogers

The policies of the current administration seem to be hell bent on trying to legislate the industrious class out of their wealth and then re-distribute to those who refuse to even attempt to work, and instead just sit home and take advantage of the generosity of the State. From my research it seems the widely thrown around number of the uninsured being 47 to 50 million people, is greatly inflated for all too politically convenient reasons, of legislating the industrious out of their (economical) freedom while in their minds legislating their preferred constituents into freedom. But as a wise person stated; “Capitalism is the unequal distribution of happiness, Socialism is the equal distribution of misery” But by enacting their brand of health care reform, the current administration will take more power out of the hands of the people. Instead this reform would increase the power in the hands of the few and well connected, instead of the many.

How much do you want to bet, it doesn't get published?

Legislate into freedom?

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the industrious out of it. You don't multiply wealth by dividing it. Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from somebody else. Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to enjoy the fruit of their labor." --Dr. Adrian Rogers
 
It is obvious that Barack Obama and the progressives either think that they can legislate the poor into freedom or they are trying to tear down the America that founders envisioned with intentions of re-building it into Eastern Europe. It is my belief that they say they are legislating the poor into freedom while really they don't give hoots in hell about the poor. They use the poor to tug at the heart strings of the average nightly news watcher into surrendering their freedoms and liberties to the government, thinking that they are helping the poor. If you look at the inner cities, which the Democrats have owned for years. Since the Great Society and War on Poverty there has been BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in wealth transfer payments to the poor and indingent people in the inner cities.
 
I heard an African American Conservative caller to a local morning talk show here in Minneapolis/ St. Paul area state "that the Democrat Party has always wanted to the black people on the plantation, it used to be the master's plantation in the old south, and now it is the Government (dependency) plantation." Personally, I would say they don't just want to keep the african-americans on the plantation, but also to put all Americans on some form of welfare and thus depend on and vote for Democrats.
 
Is it too harsh to say that Obama and his administration aren't just socialists, but approaching the level of communism or facism?

One Big A$$ Mistake America

 
I love how Barack Obama keeps saying that expanding Government Run Health Care will not increase the national debt and increase jobs.
 
So let me get this straight, we have the government increase its spending, increase the taxes, which in turn will kill jobs and when less people are working, the government then gets less revenue, and then in order to keep costs down, they will ration the treatment.
 
I "stole" the following from a caller to the Jason Lewis Show:
