Two new Nuke Plants. A step in the 'Right' direction

I will opine at length about this later this week, but I want to go on the record as approving the steps the President is taking on the issue. HOW he does it is a different story entirely.

Kill Cap and Trade and Hang the Progressives from the Yardarm

Can anyone just come out and say it? No?

I will;

Fraud, on an epic proportion

"No global warming since 1995" or maybe it never was.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7026317.ece

We are witness today one of most distasteful and unmitigated frauds ever perpetuated on the the Human Race, our Government and our Citizens.

With the revelations exposed in the London Times about the lie and lies of global warming, I am demanding that the U.S. Congress stop any and all funding of said "green projects" that were/are designed to mitigate the now extinct 'Global Warming Problem", any projects, research, or any other noun associated with the discovery, study, counsel, advisory board etc that is funded by the United States Government vis-a-vis the American Taxpayer stop.

I demand that the GAO launch a fraud investigation into the expense and waste to the American Taxpayer on a direct and indirect level.

From the grocery bags used in the Military Exchanges, to the Billions of Dollars wasted on new satellites for imagery of the Arctic. Every Dollar must be accounted for.
I can already hear the critics "It will cost millions to do that" So what! We, Americans deserve nothing less than a total accounting of it.

305 million Americans have altered their lives, paid undue taxes, and were levied unnecessary fee's. Our children have been taught in our schools and on Federally funded commercials either T.V. or radio that this is a problem and it's all a LIE!

If I were in Congress today, I would initiate a total recall of all marketing and educational material the U.S. Taxpayer was deceived into purchasing in order to perpetuate this absurdity, and I would also demand all funds paid to any external U.S. Government body, group, individual. and molecule be accounted for and sent to the Attorney General of the United States Office for intimidate litigation for the repatriation of U.S. Taxpayer Funds, and the freezing of all assets associated with this prevarication until a U.S. Court has determined if any monies are due to the People of these United States of America.

Notes From Lincoln Days Dinner

I woke up this morning thinking about what I wanted to say tonight. I had a standard speech about lowering taxes and slinging mud and the opposition... Boring.

Maybe I'll tease Sen Nodler about his lobbyist friends, or poke fun at Billy Long about raising Half a Million Dollars for a 174K job. maybe not.

Many have asked me why? Why are you running? Why now?.

Was it to get a job? Boost my Ego? No.

I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and that oath has no expiration date. I couldn't stand around and let my country continue down the path that it was one without standing up and doing something about it.

So I tossed in my hat and started listening to folks. I heard a lot of things, and many of those things are the same things that you and I want. Smaller Gov. Cut spending, cut taxes.
But let's face facts all of us are similar, about 85% the same. Some day we will have a debate or some similar format and drill down on a few items that we may differ on, but that's it.

This Election, in this district is more than those things I mentioned earlier.
The three most important things in this election are:

Character, Integrity, and Leadership

Lincoln spoke of Character, he said something like "If you want to see the true character of a man, give him power"
Look at the White House, and you can see a 'true character'

We can't fix the problems of our Nation without them, and at the same time we see the result when a group doesn't.

L&G, I Can't lower your taxes or build a Nuclear Power Plant in the district, I can't solve your problems, But I can work to get Government out of the way so you can.

I"m not perfect guy just a normal one that believe in the ethos I spoke of tonight,

Character, Integrity and Leadership are what this election is about, and that is what I want to take to D.C..

Thant is the only promise I'll ever make.

Thank You.

Yet, America Continues to Function. First, because we are still free, in spite of some peoples actions, and the second, because of it.

D.C. gets dumped on by upwards to three feet of snow, paralyzing the city. Hooray for Liberty!

As D.C. begins to dig our from this global warming reminder (hey is that a Polar Bear? nah! It's just Chris Dodd) I hope that the people of the Eastern Coast of our Nation are safe from the storm, because I KNOW that our freedom is safe, at least for a short time.

In the wonderful words of Gideon J. Tuckers' "A final Accounting is the Estate of A.B."

"No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session."

With the Capital of the U.S. at a standstill, I can report to all that 'Indeed, the Nation survives, flourishes, and goes on it's daily business" in spite of the weather in Washington D.C..

Progressives must just be in a tizzy about the possibility of not being able to 'Govern', if that's what you call them doing, and are stupefied that America has not halted it's collective breath, waiting to hear direction from those inside the beltway.

I would cry if I weren't so distracted by more important matters. ('Finding Nemo' is on and my daughter is having too much fun. After that my sock drawer needs attention.)

Yes it's news, but has anyone heard about the Two Fort Bragg Paratroopers killed in combat in the Afghanistan on the 4th?

Didn't think so.....

I did because my best friend just called to tell me. The PFC was his cousin, and it was he that encouraged him to join. You see, My friend is also a Vet of Afghanistan.

On this info I do shed a tear, and said a prayer, for there are Men and Woman who put their lives on the line and say, 'Follow Me!' and on this note, part of America does halt it's breath, either here in the U.S., or over there.

Either way, America will continue to function. The first one because we are still free, in spite of some peoples actions, and the second, because of it. Who's side will YOU be on.

Social Security Privatization, It's Your Money Anyway

Michael Ramirez Could Not Have Been More Accurate.

The Administrations' failures in the past as well as the current ilk that pace those hollowed halls of Congress and Pennsylvania Ave. need to have the living &$%# beat out of 'em, and we all know why.

The off the books accounting of American's Money must cease immediately.

As dismal as it may seem to those in power, we Americans can handle the truth unlike what Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Col. Nathan Jessup in the movie 'A Few Good Men'. We can't fix the problem if we don't know it's broken, and it's not just broken,

We are.

The President tells us to not buy a new boat and remember to pay the mortgage. You should smell what you are shoveling Mr. President.
Here are a few facts that should scare the excrement out of every American.

By 2030 there will be 57.8 million Baby Boomers between the ages of 66-84 (US Census) Think that's far off? do you remember 1990? We're there.

57.8 million will expect their monthly check of, conservatively, $1876 (2008 Dollars) simple math tells me that this will cost us $1.3 TRILLION a Year, Not to mention another global financial melt down. Don't think so? What will happen to the stock market when most of those in that demographic start to take their REQUIRED withdrawals our of their 401k's and IRA's? Again lets speculate that half of that number takes out $2000 a month for a whopping total of $3876 a month. That's another $7-800 BILLION a year coming out of the Market. I hope your home and cars are paid for.

The sad part about this all is that this could have been avoided. Both Sides of the aisle are to blame and it's now up to us to fix this debacle.

For those that are young enough to opt out of the system and self fund their own retirement, we allow them to use the monies that would be normally be sent to Washington, D.C. and invest it on their own. Crazy? no crazier than leaving it to the politicos in D.C. to manage, They have shown us what great stewards of our retirement money they are. Remember, doing the same thing and expecting a different result is the definition of stupidity, or it should be. Some will say "Wall St. is no better!" No? Well we can debate that another time but at least I can control that part of the equation with a Donald Trump inspired 'Your Fired!"

The primary litmus test that I am using is simple, It's called "Reality"
When Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman derides the so called crisis saying that the problem is modest within the framework of the GDP. (requiring additional revenues of only .54% of that figure) Well Dr. Krugman Macroeconomic factors are wonderful to tote, but the reality is if our GDP is (2008 Dollars) 14 trillion than that .54% equals $2478 for every Man, Woman and Child, in the U.S. All 305 Million of us. So a family of fours' taxes goes up about $826 a month. So much for eating. But Hey, it's only 1/2% of GDP. Considering the Ave. family only makes about (US Census) $46K a year, lets just take 20+% more from you because we were too stupid to plan.
The other reality test is all of this is predicated on one fact; there will be people still paying into this ponzi scheme. Dr. Krugman makes a huge assumption that in order to make this work current workers must continue to pay so that others can receive. What if we choose to no longer participate in this money pit? If someone did this out in the Market Place they would be....oh,wait.

This is not true financial security.

I suggest that we look at several options that the American People can choose from;

1. Stay in Social Security and nothing changes
2. Give American's the option to use their retirement funds as they see fit. i.e. some in the Social Security or cash, gold, stock, real estate etc.
3. Everything to the taxpayer.

We need to ensure that those who bought into this and have planned to have these funds available in their retirement, have them, but we can't continue down this path. We need options. After all....it is your money, shouldn't you have a real say in where it goes.
