SOME THINGS ARE OBVIOUS . . .

----- Do people really believe that taxing the rich will solve our fiscal problems?  Wait.  I guess they do.  That was what Obama was preaching.

----- Without economic growth, everything stops!  Without economic growth, there is no funding!
Without economic growth, no Federal debt has the slightest possibility of ever being paid off.

----- Well, now.   The Left  has accomplished another "phase" of its desire to bring America to its view of a Utopian world.  Why is this?  Simple.  American voters who make under $30,000 a year
voted for Barrack Obama 60% to 30%.  These people voted for a Nanny State over Capitalism.  They want "stuff".  They want freebies.  It is the "new" culture.

Western Europe, here we come!

----- Why do all Democracies eventually die?  Because Liberals always get their way.  Sometimes it just takes longer.  We are seeing the same thing right now in America.  We have to fight.

----- Obama wants an economic system like China has.  Where the Government (Communist) runs the economy, but lets the people own some property and do all the work.

----- Exactly one day after he was sworn in for his second term, Obama and his cohorts went after
the Second Amendment.  It looks like it will not survive in its entirety.

----- Today Government is so deep into our lives that words like "liberty" no longer apply.

----- Recently Barack Obama went before the Supreme Court, telling the judges that the Defense of Marriage Act, passed by Congress, was unconstitutional.

----- In some schools in Florida, they are teaching sex education to Kindergartners.  Is this a good thing?  In my view, it is not!










GERMANY WANTS ITS GOLD BACK!

Germany, in my lifetime, has always stored its gold bullion offshore.  In the New York Federal Reserve Bank and also in France's.  Now they want to do a repatriation.  They want to have an inventory taken, an assessment made, and "transparency" in a reporting of the entire process.  And then they want it all shipped back to Germany.  Portugal has been making the same noises.

Now, what does this mean?  Anything?  What does the mind conjure up?  Will this become a trend for the rest of the world?  America holds most of the known gold reserves of the world.

PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS HAVE HELPED THE DEMOCRATS DESTROY OUR NATION

Going back to long before the Great Depression, in my opinion, every Republican President except one has been a "Progressive" .  I say this because for a long time I have been researching past Presidential speeches, trying to get a better feel for what they stood for, and where they stood in the world of Progressiveism.  I have been shocked at what I found.

In my opinion, and I am a staunch Conservative,  Ronald Reagan was the only Republican President in all those years who did not slip and reveal that he was a "Progressive" sympathizer, with certain Progressive ideals.  His speeches speak for themselves.

Just what is the deal with Liberal Democrats and "Progressive" Republicans, anyway?  Basically, they all have the same fundamental misconception that our Founding Fathers set up a system that was meant to adapt to a changing world.  They are wrong.  It is the other way around.  They believe in Socialism (the "Collective").

Following are some quotes from some past GOP Presidents and some wannabes.  With some of them, you would think they were Democrats:

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt :  ". . . and the wealthy man, whomsoever he may be, for whom I have the greatest contempt, I would fight for him, and you would if you were worth your salt."

Greatest contempt for the wealthy man?  Are we sure he was a Republican?  He not only distrusted the rich, he actually seemed to despise them.  He couldn't help but slip in his hatred for the upper class.

More from Teddy:  "Every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it."  Notice the term "public welfare."


John McCain :  Loser to Barack Obama four years ago, he has famously said that "Old Teddy Bear" Roosevelt is his political idol.  Well, now.  Maybe it won't take you long to realize what a poor choice he was as the "Republican" nominee.  I love John McCain because he is an American war hero.  I just wish he hadn't gone into politics!


George W. Bush:  When George W. Bush established the Department of Homeland Security, it was about our collective desire to be safe and secure.  When he signed his Medicare Part D (Prescription Drugs) bill, it was in response to our collective obligation to care for our seniors.  It was a massive expansion of government that added billions to our debt.  He gave a quote that seemed to come straight out of the Progressives' handbook:  "Medicare is a great achievement of a compassionate government and it is a basic trust we honor.  Each generation benefits from Medicare.  Each generation has a duty to strengthen Medicare.  And this generation is fulfilling its duty."

Mitt Romney:  Loser to Barack Obama in November of 2012 and the Governor of Massachusetts,
 he installed his version of Socialized Medicine in his state.  It has been proclaimed to be successful.
 Later he would show Barack Obama how to do it nationwide.  Obamacare.  It will be a disaster.  And people wonder why he lost to Obama.
