Under George W. Bush, IRS went after the NAACP, Greenpeace and even a liberal church

Isn’t is funny how Republicans forget about ‘their’ actions during their man’s administration?  Be sure to read this article!

American Idol Results – Were on Target

My opinion about who got kicked off of American Idol last night:

Candace is suppose to be able to sing anything, why then do we never hear her sing a fast song – they are all slow (church like songs) which helps her look good.  I sure hope the producers decide to make her sing a fast one.  Angie is an ‘ok’ performer but I think her HOME visit they showed Wednesday night hurt her.  People didn’t see her CRY once – not even when she saw her best friends.  She appeared to be saying – I’m here, love me.  Kree is a very good singer but seems to appear as though she doesn’t ’feel well’ in every song.  She looks like she would rather be some place else then on the stage.  She rarely smiles.  She should smile more.

‘Government On Notice’ With Loaded Rifles’

“Pro-gun activists are planning to march from Virginia into Washington, D.C., on July 4 as part of an open carry demonstration that could bring thousands of illegally displayed weapons into the nation’s capital.

The event, coordinated by libertarian radio host Adam Kokesh and advertised as an “Open Carry March on Washington,” is hoping to bring upward of 10,000 demonstrators ready to say “in the SUBTLEST way possible that we would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.”"

“We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny,”

And gun owners wonder why Americans FEAR guns and their owners?  Geez!  This is one huge reason!  When a person feels the need to resort to using a GUN (whether shooting it or showing it off-especially a LOADED ONE) instead of TALKING out their disagreements, then the nation has BIG PROBLEMS.

With plans like this, I don’t fear government taking my rights away, I fear gun owners hurting my loved ones or me.

Are GOP Pushing Socialism?

Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R) VA wants to give your private sector jobs the option of taking ‘time off’ instead of getting overtime pay.  It’s his way of appealing to ‘families’ he says.   Personally I think it’s just one more thing Republicans want to eliminate and help businesses with.

This bill would open the door for employers to pressure workers into taking time off instead of overtime pay.  Some people can’t afford to take time off, they need the money more.  Some employers can’t replace those lost hours with another employee either.

Besides all that mumbo jumbo, isn’t it the employer’s job to decide his/her employee’s benefits, not the Government’s.  At least that’s what Republicans are always pushing.  They constantly accuse the Obama administration of pushing government controlled health care on families remember?  Why are GOP now pushing for legislation to get employers/employees to do something government wants?  Isn’t that a form of SOCIALISM?

Read the Constitution When Necessary

Don’t you just love hearing the Right call on the Constitution when demanding something be done or not done yet when it comes to war they refuse to follow the constitution and actually DECLARE WAR against a nation rather than letting one man or woman send troops THEN authorize that action later….never Declaring an actual War. 

The same goes for voting.  They tend to interpret the Constitution the way they want when deciding what shall be allowed.  They forget how the Constitution began….for example…the men that wrote it refused to let women or minorities vote.  Doesn’t that kind of tell you just how much we should rely on what it says?  Those men didn’t think women or minorities were SMART enough to vote.  Kind of reminds me of some in the GOP Party.

To me the Constitution is a draft or a list of ideas — to work from… not live by.

GOP Plans for Changing?

The GOP came out today with their new plans to win elections.  Note – win elections….not help Americans by listening to their needs.

They have 10 point plan to do better during future campaigns.

1  Devote $10 million to hire hundreds of new employees in communities across the country who will have a permanent presence

2  Recruite more minority candidates

3  Be brave enough to go on tv shows like the Daily Show

4  Give Democrats hell – attack early

5  Work on voter actions earlier

6  Release more voter data

7  Shorten the Primary

8  Hold only 12 instead of 20 debates and start in Sept

9  Convention will be in June or July instead of August to help candidate more after

10  Change the tone not the message

So tell me folks, where in this 10 point plan is there anything about working with voters, talking with them, helping them or caring about their needs?

I’m Back

Sorry for being away for so long.  I’ve had family issues that have kept me busy.  I still have a few but I want to try and get back to my blog.

Americans Have Short Memories-Again

It seems that some folks still have short memories.  Allow me to remind those folks where we were when Barack Obama took office on January 20, 2009.  First, according to George W. Bush’s book, we were head for another Great Depression, and because the former President didn’t want that to happen under his watch he signed the bank and financial institution loans (TARP) bill in Oct of 2008 a month before Obama was even elected.  It was also the Bush administration that started the bailout of the auto industry.

As for spending, according to Forbes, Marketwatch and CBO, Obama’s administration has actually been tighter with a buck than any other president since Eisenhower. 

Somebody mentioned gas prices, let me remind you that the average gas prices in July of 2008 were $4.11 and because the oil companies (in my opinion) wanted to help the Republicans stay in power they dropped prices of gas to an average of $2.07 by Election Day of 2008.  Prices stayed in the $2 range until Election Day of 2010.  Less than a month later, after the House (has authority to investigate) was won by the Republicans, prices jumped over $.30 and have continued to increase since that time.

People are also judging ObamaCare before the main part of it, where everybody must pay for their own health care (if they can), has even taken effect.  It will take a couple of years of everybody paying for insurance to show whether or not it helped health care costs.  That part begins next year.  While you may be healthy now, there will be a day you will need health care.  If you have any idea what it cost to stay in a hospital these days, then you know you could not afford to pay that bill alone unless you’re very wealthy.  Unless you qualify for state assistance, you will need insurance or foundation help.  It’s simple logic, everybody having insurance and less repeat testing should help costs to go down.

Someone also mention Obama’s attacking Christian seniors.  Where the heck did that come from?  Why just Christian?  He is also a Christian, you know that don’t you?  As for hurting seniors, it is his administration and Party that is trying to save Medicare and Social Security not privatize them as the other Party intends on doing. Which means you will pay even more for your health care.

Impeach Sen Min. Ldr Mitch McConnell

Sen Min Leader Mitch McConnell should be impreached for betrayal of public trust, -TREASON. At least investigate his goal to stop Obama… His STATED number one goal the past 4 years was to stop President Obama from being reelected – Did our nation’s economy and safety suffer because of his actions to stop the President? I believe we did.

The House GOP are investigating everything under the sun to try and hurt the Democrats and Obama. For once I wish the Dems would stand up and do the same but for the RIGHT reasons. This man and a select few set out to destroy the President from day one and by doing so they risk our nation going into complete collapse thereby hurting their fellow citizens. They committed treason against their country. It wasn’t just politics they were playing with it was American lives.

As it is we allowed the previous administration to get away with War Crimes.  Exactly what will it take for the Democrat Party to stand up for what is RIGHT or against what is WRONG?
