The Broward County Courthouse Debacle – A word from the mayor

February 17th, 2010

I love politicians who profess to know math.

First, $37 per taxpayer in tax for debt repayment is going to expire. The benevolent mayor votes to expend $8 per taxpayer and declares a $26 per taxpayer savings!

Well… the was a vote for the courthouse, but there really wasn’t. Now they vote more taxes, when we were expecting a decrease… and they call it a decrease.

Yessiree… vote yea by not voting… tax the citizens of Broward County more and tell them you are saving them money!

Hold on to your wallet, citizens of Broward County, you are being fleeced again!

It is time to clean house of all career, government wonk, entrenched politicians by voting against them. From local levels all the way to the federal level, it is time to get real people who have held real private sector jobs to represent us.

State of the Onion

January 28th, 2010

POTUS gave his State of the Onion address last night. It went something like this:

blah blah blah Bush’s fault blah blah lecture blah health care is what America wants blah blah I am arrogant and do not listen blah blah we need to drill offshore and build more nukes blah blah mare bailouts blah blah bigger government blah blah repeal DADT and let gays serve openly blah blah you people need to listen to me because I know what you need and will do it to you and your great grand children’s grand children blah blah blah.

About the only thing that surprised me was his call for offshore drilling and building more nuclear plants. We need nukes to get off the middle east oil addiction, but it will be ten to fifteen years before any new nuke plants go online. Federal regulation is the main thing responsible for the long lead time for this. The radical environmentalist fringe is also good at keeping this completely carbon free energy source form becoming reality. Not that I care about the man made climate change hoax, even though BO proclaimed it was still reality in his speech.

Offshore drilling is all well and good, but what we really need to tap into is the reserves on the coastal region of ANWR. No, not in those pretty flower filled meadows the environmentalists show in their propaganda. The part of ANWR that looks just like Prudhoe bay, which coincidentally is just a few miles down the shore, where the oil pipeline head is.  By the way, the pipeline is nowhere near capacity, so any new oil would be welcome.

Another place we need to be drilling is the Bakken oil formation in North Dakota and Montana. Tapping this formation alone could make us independent of the middle east oil fields controlled by violent repressive regimes that think human rights means sharia law and believe women are simply cattle.

Except for the energy blurb he gave that will be stomped on by the enviro groups the left includes in their power base, the speech was another example of how the Progressives that have taken over the Democratic party simply refuse to listen to what Americans want: small government in Washington that does not suck the life blood from the country.

That is obviously something that has to be done by American citizens demanding candidates that truly feel their pain and believe that the federal government has to be scaled back in a massive way. A second goal that is just as important is to root out the Progressive influence in education, the courts and the media that has worked for years to change history, deny God and dumb down the populace.

Do you truly believe America can and should be great again? Pray a lot. Get involved in politics. Join the local tea party movement. Consider running for government. If you cannot run, work to elect candidates that share your values and want to fix the problem that Ronald Reagan talked about in his first inaugural address:

government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.

That is more true today than it was in 1981.

Glenn did not tell the half of it!

January 23rd, 2010

I watched the Glenn Beck show last night in eager anticipation of something that would make my head explode. His documentary “Revolutionary Holocaust : Live Free or Die” did not tell the half of how many Communism killed in the 20th century.

In fairness, I have to say he did a good job and hit the bullseye on the target he was aiming for. He had four main points:

  1. Nazi facism was based on left wing socialist philosophy
  2. Communism and socialism killed millions of people
  3. Che was a really horrible person that would have killed most of the people that wear his t-shirts and belt buckles and bikinis today
  4. Progressives revere Mao and Che and work for president Obama

Nazi is a contraction of National Socialism. Progressives try to foist off Hitler as a right wing movement to bash Conservatives. Nothing could be further from the truth. Glenn did a good job of exposing this lie. He connected the eugenics movement that Hitler acted out with the left wing intelligentsia of the day. Glenn glossed over the other people, besides 6 million Jews, that Hitler tried to exterminate, such as the Romany (aka gypsies), homosexuals and dwarfish, mongoloid and other ” physically defective” people. He also did not talk about how popular abortion was in Nazi Germany, just like the Progressives push here at every chance. He did talk about how Hitler supported socialized medicine, the welfare state and centralized control of businesses like they are pushing here today.

Glenn told about the horrible famine in the Ukraine forced by Stalin where seven million or more died. He skipped from there to some of the incredibly brutal mass murders that Mao did. Sure, Mao killed more than 70 million Chinese, but Stalin killed a lot more than “only” seven million Ukrainians. Glenn totally missed all the “purges” that Stalin did, where he gathered people, basically at random” that he considered enemies. He shipped probably twenty million people to his work camps (gulags) in Siberia and elsewhere. These political prisoners were worked to death in massive projects like moving riverbeds with shovels and wheelbarrows. It is estimated that Stalin killed over twenty five millions, not just the seven million Ukrainians.

You can hear about what mass murderers such as Stalin and Mao did in detail in documentaries on the History Channel, among other sources. Glenn only scratched the surface when it comes to the atrocities committed by followers of Marxist philosophy.

Do we really want a president who wants to “fundamentally transform America” into a socialist country run by dictators like Hitler, Stalin and Mao?

True power does not come from the barrel of a gun.  It comes in the ballot box. Pray and repent of your apathy that allowed this problem to come up. Register and vote later this year. Get involved in politics. Get to know the candidates to make sure they hold to the conservative, small government principles you hold dear. Then vote them in and vote out the bums, the republican progressives and democrat progressives, that have created the mess America is in today.

Progressivism is totally un-American, despite the cheerful way Hillary talked about it. Progressives at all levels of government need to be rooted out and replaced. We can take our country back.

Rep. Wasserman Schultz on MSNBC regarding Haiti’s earthquake

January 15th, 2010

 

Listen to the video clip. This is posted on Ms. Wasserman-Schultz’s YouTube.com channel.

First, I understand the nervousness, but pay close attention… the first issue I have is the comment about a “7.3 hurricane?” I know she stuttered and misspoke, but these are contemporaneous remarks and they really don’t sound coherent! That would be easy to overlook.

Listen further to Ms. Wasserman-Schultz. At around 3:20 in the clip, she talks about weather and stuff, but this curious quote pops up…

“The wrath seems to be reining down on them.”

I have to ask… what wrath? From where does this wrath come? From whom and why?

Ms. Wasserman-Schultz continues…

“It is absolutely imperative that the nations of the world come to  Haiti’s assistance and make sure that we can deal with the scourge that exists there. It is wrong, especially in a region as prosperous as this one, for us to continue to allow the desperate situation that exists in Haiti to continue”

More questions arise… If we do not allow poverty, how can we disallow it? Is not Haiti a sovereign nation?

I am sure the congresswoman does have some concern for the nation of Haiti, however, with this post I have a hard time finding it!

Little hope exists for those who have called out Pat Robertson to also do the same for Ms. Wasserman-Schultz! Her comments are on a par with his, especially “The wrath is coming down on them.”

Pat Robertson does not speak for all of Christendom! His comments on the earthquake in Haiti have been rightly castigated form all ends of the internet. Surely, thinking people know,  Ms. Wasserman-Schultz’s comments are equally outrageous!

Sea level rise affects the Keys

January 11th, 2010

While Mr. Neugent may attempt to find a resolution to the issues he faces as an elected official in the Florida Keys, using pseudo-science to exact tribute from the rest of tax-paying Americans is wrong. Subscribing to global climate change as the cause of the perceived problems he faces in his position of service is fallacious!

Those scientists who espouse the doctrine of Anthropogenic  Global Warming have been debunked, permanently! The science involved requires findings to further those conditions required for more government funding. This is the essence of corruption!

People who choose to make their homes on the seashore or any other body of water need to realize THEY assume the risks of their choice. You have chosen to live in an island paradise, yet you would choose to spread your risk to me, why?

Those who choose to live along bodies of water, where property prices command a premium, would presume upon the rest of us to subsidize your choice of home. Well, history proves coastlines, shorelines and riverbanks change over time. The challenge for humans to interrupt this change are indeed steep, and probably far too expensive to be practical.

While it is a problem… Man being the cause is far-fetched! However, to presume to ask all of the rest of us to subsidize your choice of homestead is wrong!

If you are fighting a losing battle, perhaps it is Providence telling you to find another place to live. These are the hardships humanity has faced for ages. For those who choose to live on ATOLLS, where shorelines change frequently, a dose of reality is in order! Maybe it is time that government officials, who’s first priority is maintaining the status quo, need to stop coddling their constituents.

For those homeowners who live in the Keys, perhaps it is time to evaluate your future, and change your plans accordingly. Be smart, there is NOTHING humans can do to change the shorelines that is not astronomically expensive and can last for more than a generation!

Quit using climate change as a way to exact tribute from me!

Congressional Reform Act of 2010

January 7th, 2010

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!
A friend sent this along to me. I can’t think of a reason to disagree.

I am sending this to virtually everybody on my e-mail list and that includes conservatives, liberals, and everybody in between. Even though we disagree on a number of issues, I count all of you as friends. My friend and neighbor wants to promote a “Congressional Reform Act of 2010″. It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I know many of you will say, “this is impossible”. Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress – the entity that represents us.

We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These people will become American hero’s..

Thanks,
A Fellow American
***********************************
Congressional Reform Act of 2010

Based on the premise that serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.

A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms

2. No Tenure / No Pension:

A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise or allow an automatic pay raise if they do not vote to stop it.

Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11 .

The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

___________________________________________________

We do not need 2000 pages of weasel words. The US Constitution is only 17 pages long and has governed the country for over 200 years. One page of direct points like this will do the job.

Is any politician brave enough to sponsor this bill? We should make sponsoring this bill a requirement for being elected in 2010.

Schwarzenegger has big goals for his final year as governor

January 4th, 2010

And if I were a betting man, I think in the end, they would all include spending more money that the state has, instead of what he has promised!

Politicians, Democrats mostly including those posing as Republicans, have shown no desire to be frugal with the public’s dollar ANYWHERE. They could care less, it is plainly evident, and it is our fault!

Start locally, attend city and county hall meetings. Hold these people accountable. Throw all the incumbents out, period! New politicians will take awhile to figure out how to feed in corruption, but like a pig to slop, they will eventually find it!

Election dates to replace Wexler set

November 5th, 2009

Why does this tool get to enslave us, when he is leaving already.

Yet another corrupt politician from Broward County… I hope the Feds that have visited other Broward County pols will also visit him.

I am so waiting to select a representative who actually lives in the district!

stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool huh?

November 1st, 2009

Our country’s sovereignty is being given away, bit by bit. As presidential aide to Clinton, Paul Bergala, succinctly put it: “stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool huh?”

As Sid Preskitt explains in  The Wizardry Behind Fishery Management, the UN held the Earth Summit in Rio do Janeiro in 1992. This is where the treaty called the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) with its companion documents, The Global Biodiversity Assessment (GBA), Agenda 21, and The Rio Declaration were introduced.

“Agenda 21 stands as a comprehensive blueprint for action to be taken globally — from now into the twenty first century — by governments, United Nations organizations and independent-sector groups, in every area in which human activity impacts on the environment”.

This treaty was on it’s way to being ratified by the Senate, regardless of the fact that the scientific study required by it was not even written, let alone performed. Nobody had even seen the GBA or Agenda 21. Continue reading »
