Comrades, are you paying attention?

It's been a long time since I posted here, and alot has happened to me in the past year.  Last year at this time, I was employed and earning a good salary.  I drove a Corvette and a Harley, paid my bills on time and had a little extra for charity and emergencies.  Oh what a difference a year makes.

I'm still on my blood pressure meds, thanks in large part to the Obama administration and the 111th Congress.  How did so many Americans get bamboozled into electing this crop of tone deaf nitwits?  So far, the company that I worked for had to release me because the economy is still depressed (although the elites will spin it otherwise) and Obama is an anti-business socialist. Thanks Barry.  I had to sell the vehicles that I loved so much because I couldn't afford them without a job.  Obama might say I needed to take a hit for the team.  Thanks Barry.  I'm not able to meet all of my obligations on time, so my credit score is taking a hit.  Who needs credit, right?  Thanks Barry.

But, despite the active efforts of this administration to undermine my way of life, as well as 300 million others, we will endure by reducing expenses, watching our budgets and making the personal sacrifices all sensible people make when managing through a financial crisis.  Our elected "leaders" haven't quite come to grips with the average Joe's budgeting approach, though.  They seem to think that if they just pass a law, the money to pay for it will magically materialize.  To them the taxpayer wallet is open and the party is just getting started.  A Stimulus bill that didn't work, Nationalized Health Care that most American didn't want, Finance Reform that doesn't address the probelms, Cap-n-Trade that doesn't make sense and won't work; and I shudder to think about their solution to Immigration Reform.  Thanks Barry.  The current Administration and Congress shouldn't be allowed to govern a homeowners association, much less the most powerful economy in the world. 

The only employement sector that has grown are government jobs.  When was the last time the Federal Government created wealth...answer-NEVER.  I don't hold that against them because it's not their charter.  The formula for economic growth has been tested and proven in our history repeatedly.  Reduce taxes on everyone.  Get the free market primed to invest the trillions of dollars sitting on the sidelines and watch the country get back to work.  That's how a free market system works...which is why the economy is so messed up today.  It's not looking like a free market anymore.  Too many bailouts of people and companies that don't deserve it, rewarding them for violating basic business principles and bankrupting the shareholders. Thanks Barry.  If a company has been mismanaged, let someone else take it over through the BK courts.

To my comrades that are old enough to remember when the United States of America was the envy of the world and promoted the principles of prosperity, honor, personal responsibility and world leadership - it is incumbent upon us to hold tight to those values and teach our children about their great heritage.  Don't  let the progressive socialists obtain their goal "re-making" America with their misleading hope & change illusions.  Think for yourselves.  Stand up for your beliefs.  If you let them, the left wing minority crack pots will have transformed our great country into something that would never resemble the vision of our founding fathers.

Praise God that I have finally found some peaceful seclusion in my faith.  Our rights were given to us by God and cannot be taken away from us by Barry and his thugs.  This is an important election year and we cannot make the same mistake that was blindly made in 2008.
