It's that Obvious Mr. President

In his State of the Union speech Mr. Obama knew what to say to appease the Americans revolting against his agenda. He is very good at knowing what to say when standing behind his trusty teleprompter. Of course, Americans are also aware that there is little correlation between his promises and his political practices.

His poll numbers are in the tank, so it is not surprising that he finally reached out to the Middle Class by focusing on employment. But it is hard to feel the love. It's obvious that this arrogant little windbag is galled to have to mend fences with the folks he regards as Bible thumping, gun toting, pickup truck driving dunces.

He assembled a prestigious panel to focus on the economy and job creation. The Middle Class Task Force appears to be a step in the right direction, especially after he, Pelosi and Reid spent the last twelve months and over a trillion dollars growing the government payroll.

It's just a shame that this body is filled with persons unfamiliar with capitalism and private enterprise. But it keeps decision making simple. They will conclude that another Stimulus is just the medicine the nation needs to heal the deficit ridden economy.

No one should be alarmed by the national deficit as Obama is now a deficit hawk. That's right! He promises to hold the line on 17% of government spending for three years, beginning in 2011. He forgot to mention that the budget and Stimulus he approved increased these sectors by about 24%.

Do the arithmetic. That's equal to a 6% increase for every year he will sit in the White House. Only a true believer in socialism would have the audacity to call this fiscal responsibility. But here's the deception. The deficit, without spending cuts, will grow $6 trillion despite this "fiscal restraint."

And never forget that his latest budget was packed with nearly 9,000 earmarks. Obama's promise to veto any spending bill which contained earmarks must have slipped his mind. Of course, his pledge of transparency, bi-partisanship and protecting the nation's security is also missing in action. In his defense, he may have selective memory syndrome (SMS).

SMS is a common malady among socialists. They don't even remember that every socialist scheme in history collapsed under the weight of universal conformity. So it's not strange or unusual for Obama to think the government is the chief job creator and the protector of the citizens from the perils of private enterprise.

Obama was all over America's enemies. He carefully explained that those evil bankers and financial types are the root cause of the recession. He's aghast at the size of their bonuses and incomes.

Yet, he forgot to mention the $33 billion that his administration secretly handed these players after publicly paying them $29 billion, a fair market price for the derivatives originally valued at $62 billion. Please note: $33 billion plus $29 billion equals $62 billion. What was Obama buying? Silence for Tim Geithner's complicity?

Just keep in mind that this is the same administration that offers terrorists the same legal rights as US citizens; the identical administration which refuses to concede that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were out of control, and the principle cause of the recession.

And don't forget! Every proposal Obama supported, from health care to energy, targeted the income of the Middle Class.

Since President LBJ introduced the Great Society, the Middle Class' standard of living has been ravaged by federal, state and local taxes. Government is solely responsible for its decline. Even the Democrats in Massachusetts realize this.

Yeah, it's that obvious Mr. President.

Taxes, Tenure and Entitlement

In their initial school year it's doubtful that first graders would select government dependent as a career over the dream of being a fire fighter, or actor, doctor, cowboy or astronaut.

School administrators don't engage speakers to promote welfare dependency on Career Day. And have you ever seen a booth at a Job Fair reserved for spouting the advantages and benefits of not working?

Yet, entire wings of government buildings are dedicated to administering welfare. The bureaucracy manning these offices competes head-on with private enterprise for growth dollars. Their jobs, like their clients, are totally subsidized by taxes generated by private enterprise.

The only tangible difference between the bureaucrats dedicated to the growth of welfare and their equally insatiable customers is union membership and ID badges. Of course, the parasites with the ID badges have one big advantage.

They pay themselves and swell their ranks first. Their clients only get the crumbs that are left over. In a nutshell, this explains the core inefficiency of any government controlled program.

Of course, the size of subsistence payments is carefully monitored. The payments must be high enough to guarantee brand loyalty and low enough to assure dependency. It's the same formula used to attract bureaucrats and retain their allegiance.

Unlike the folks in private enterprise, the success and life style of bureaucrats are not determined by ingenuity, productivity and marketing skills. Their economic growth is determined solely and exclusively by the outcome of elections. They prosper when taxes are raised.

Bureaucrats regard tax cuts like farmers regard drought. That's why the majority of them always vote for the candidate who espouses the need for higher taxes. Taxes pay their salaries and fund their marvelous retirement, vacation and medical benefits.

For decades the Democrats and Republicans have worked diligently to build government bureaucracy. The Republicans addressed the strategy in terms of compassion, while the Democrats created the right of equal outcome. Together they managed to give government workers numerical superiority over the workers in private enterprise.

The rapid growth of government finally caught the attention of the taxpayers. When they discovered the average annual wage of bureaucrats was about $20,000 higher than comparable posts in the private sector they became testy, especially with unemployment over 10%.

Now put the outcome of the recent Massachusetts senate race in the context of the exponential growth of government. Don't be deceived. Ninety-five percent of the bureaucrats and welfare recipients who voted, checked the Coakley box. The superior numbers of government workers and their welfare constituency got beat by turnout.

The Republicans may have benefited, but they didn't win. Both parties suffered a devastating defeat. Working Americans are taking back control of the country from government one elected post at a time. They see the relationship between higher taxes and loss of freedom. They now recognize the enemy; they are called incumbents.

Any politician who proposes higher taxes on anyone or anything to improve employment has his or her head stuck in a dark place, and the floors in Congress aren't covered in sand. The winners in 2010 will address deficit reductions through spending cuts and demand tax cuts to stimulate job creation. The rest will join Coakley.

Good Morning America

Scott Brown just defeated Martha Coakley and won a Massachusetts senate seat which has evaded Republicans for nearly six decades. Hang onto your hat. Here comes the spin and distortions and political contortions.

Fact: Every Democrat, Republican and Independent knew the result of the special election, to fill the seat vacated by Kennedy, was a done deal. Short of butchering her husband or spitting on Kennedy's grave, Coakley's path to DC was strewn with roses.

Fact: The primaries in Massachusetts are always hotly contested. Winning any primary election, for the House or Senate or dog catcher, automatically guarantees the Democratic contender a smooth ride to the finish line. Martha Coakley crushed her opponents, receiving 73% of the votes cast in the primary.

Fact: There was no need for Martha to mount a campaign beyond a few perfunctory appearances. Her verbal gaffs were immaterial. In a state that only recognizes one party a Democratic incumbent can be comatose and win. Contenders merely have to be able to sit up and take nourishment and demand higher taxes. She could do both.

Fact: In mid-December, 2009 Martha Coakley, without any serious campaigning, held a 20% margin of victory over Scott Brown. She just had to hang around for the election to confirm the obvious.

Fact: Scott Brown's political thumping by Coakley was rear ended by Mr. Obama, Pelosi and Reid. The cesspool deals they cut with Nebraska's Senator Ben Nelson and the unions to salvage Obama Care turned a de facto landside for Coakley into a sporting contest.

Fact: Scott Brown ran as the forty-first vote against Obama Care, for lower taxes and stronger national security. He waged his campaign against the Obama agenda. Coakley just happened to be the local candidate who represented Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

Fact: Scott Brown did not run as a Republican, nor did he profess loyalty to the Tea Baggers; he ran as an Independent under the Republican label. Although the GOP hierarchy will beg him to be their spokesman, he will not be their point man.

Fact: Scott Brown and his trusty pickup truck gave voice to working Americans. He gave them the opportunity to vote for themselves. He made it okay for ordinary people to fight for their right to be heard and be reckoned with.

Fact: The Democratic Party is so out of touch with working Americans that it actually ran commercials promising the end of Obama Care if Brown was elected. These arrogant, insulated weasels confirmed that Brown represented safe passage from a hated abomination.

Fact: Scott Brown saved the careers of many Democrats seated in Congress. His election proved that Marxism is not in vogue on Main Street. His election excuses sitting Democrats from following Obama, Pelosi and Reid. He made it safe for them to say "no thank you" to political suicide.

Fact: Scott Brown's election showed all Americans that the United States is not the property of the Republicans nor the Democrats. He woke the slumbering masses It's a new day in Washington, DC.

So good morning America, it's good to see you awake.

Calling All Parasites

The senatorial race in Massachusetts captured the attention of Mr. Obama. He must be exhausted. It's not easy dragging a teleprompter down the steps of Air Force One on a cold New England day.

The Democrats weren't expecting a Republican challenge in Massachusetts. They just assumed that the voters understood the vacant senate seat was part of the Kennedy Endowment. The liberals had anointed Martha Coakley to hold the post until another Kennedy heir could be propped up for the coronation.

So put Scott Brown's surging campaign in context! The Massachusetts voters are obedient masochists. A few short years ago they voted down the opportunity to eliminate the state's income tax. These voters are the perfect prototypes for socialist zombies.

It's obvious that the Democrats are confused and frustrated, and feel like they were blindsided. They truly believed that their neck-deep corruption and their socialist agenda had pushed all the industrious out of the state.

So regardless of the outcome, heads are going to roll in the Democratic Party for this failure to eradicate the pro-Constitution opposition in this bluest of blue states.

Obama came to Martha's rescue, hoping that he could change the election dynamics in the Commonwealth. He was informed that Marxism wasn't selling, so Obama settled for encouraging illegal aliens and the steadfast welfare crowd to vote on Tuesday. He hoped to attract throngs of parasites to the voting booths. And that's exactly why he showed up.

He didn't have to address the membership of unions, the trial lawyers, the educators and bureaucrats who already get the lion's share of the common wealth of Massachusetts' tax payers.

Obama must really miss ACORN's ability to turn out non-existent voters. Under the tutelage of the Democratic political machine, this criminal organization earned their keep by turning the election in Minnesota. Imagine the sorrow of Pelosi and Reid and Obama when the treachery of these community organizers was uncovered by Fox News.

But the Democratic faithful should fear not. Massachusetts Democrats have a strong communion with God. When the outcome of an election is in peril they can rely on the Almighty. He always delivers in Massachusetts. Low and behold the heavens will open.

Thousands will rise from the dead in time to be bused from the cemeteries to the voting booths. It's a miracle that happens in every close election. So it would be naive to expect Scott Brown to win a senate seat in Massachusetts.

In a one party state, patronage is not a shared commodity. Brown can only offer the residents of Massachusetts a chance to end the government tyranny. There's no proof that the majority of citizens want or can win a contest in such a corrupt environment.

Obama bet the parasites, who outnumber the hosts, will show up for a free lunch. That's all he was selling.

Reid's Misjudgment

You have to love it. Senator Reid got caught in the glare of political correctness. During the heat of the 2008 elections, he observed that Mr. Obama's light skin and ability to speak proper English made him a viable candidate. It was an accurate assessment.

Reid misjudged the impact of skin color on the voters' reception of Obama. It dates him. He has spent so many years telling minorities that whites are their enemies that he actually believes that nothing has changed since the Sixties.

But, Obama would still be a community organizer if he had delivered his campaign messages in the dialect common to inner city inhabitants. Black, vernacular English (Ebonics) is near universally equated with a sorry education and all the tangential shortcomings associated with this static environment.

Political correctness is a weapon that liberals rarely encounter, as it's designed to squelch the objective truth by besmirching conservative proponents. It's used to smear the subject when an accurate observation challenges the flimsy facade of the Democrats' propaganda. They always resort to personal attacks.

Naturally when a liberal is inadvertently caught telling an obvious truth, which contradicts the liberal message, the offender is excused and the incident is ignored. Had Sarah Palin or Senator McCain made the same statement as Reid, the Left Wing would have unleashed the dogs of war to destroy their reputations and careers.

This conclusion is supported by the willingness of the two most infamous, anti-truth scoundrels in politics to forgive and forget the transgression. There hasn't been a negative peep from either of the nation's two notorious race-baiting slugs, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. And the Black Caucus must be in hibernation.

Now read between the lines of Reid's statement in the context of the political campaign environment. Reid accurately concluded that an articulate and charismatic black had a better chance of winning the presidency than a woman with negatives as high as the Rockies. Obama offered the best opportunity for the Democrats.

And note Reid never mentioned Obama's inexperience, nor his associations with anti-American preachers, Marxists and terrorists. He correctly pinpointed Obama's strengths, and the opportunity to harness white guilt. It was an accurate assessment.

Now analyze Reid's decision to support Obama. Reid knew that Obama was the most liberal member of the Senate. Obama was a true believer, and black.

Thus, Reid could safely assume that Obama blamed the wealthy for the misery of minorities. And Obama's devotion to income redistribution, the green agenda, higher taxes on the wealthy, his anti-military and anti-business stances and his rejection of school vouchers were indicators that proved Obama had swallowed all the liberal propaganda.

Reid saw the ring in Obama's nose that would allow the Democrats to set an agenda that Obama would enthusiastically follow with a simple tug. It was an accurate assessment.

But Reid's judgment was flawed. He believed that an articulate, charismatic, black president could persuade the majority of Americans that socialism was superior to capitalism; that the nation's security would be improved with a smile; and, that Americans didn't care about deficits. He misjudged America, but not Obama.

Profiles Work

Most everyone can understand the negative impact and consequences of racial profiling. For example, if the police respond to a home robbery that was not witnessed, and react by only stopping vehicles in the area driven by minorities, that would be prejudicial and counterproductive racial profiling.

However, if neighbors witness the thieves and give the police a description of the culprits, it is not racial profiling if the police only stop vehicles whose occupants match the eye witness accounts. Or, if the police have a description of a thief spotted in earlier burglaries in the neighborhood, it is not racial profiling for them to concentrate on people with like characteristics.

In fact, any police officer who ignores the description of a thief in his or her search should be fired for dereliction of duty, or more precisely, for stupidity. But that is not the way the system works. Law enforcement and the application of common sense have been divorced to appease the sensibilities of the Far Left.

The security of the nation is held hostage by the advocates of Political Correctness. The inane enforcement of political correctness ignores the evidence and gives criminals the extra consideration granted protected species. The rights and safety and convenience of the general public become secondary to the safeguards granted certain groups, nationalities and those with specific religious affiliations.

Such government mandates are expensive, wasteful and require the suspension of common sense. Of course, this explains why Congress is held in such low esteem. They live to displace common sense by enacting regulations which criminalize it.

A farmer who discovers his chicken coop has been raided, after seeing a fox hightailing it across a field with a hen in its mouth, would not be inclined to suspect the dastardly deed was committed by the cows, horses, pigs and sheep in his farmyard.

However, if he had temporarily worked for Homeland Security, he would check all their mouths for traces of feathers. If he was a cop from a sanctuary city, he would only check the other livestock on the farm, including the hens that survived the attack.

Of course, these government trained farmers would all pretend that the dozens of similar attacks were random and unrelated to the growing fox population. Welcome to the world of airport security.

There is nothing in the world that makes one feel more secure at an airport than watching a TSA agent confiscate grandma's shampoo. And your heart swells with national pride when one of these scrupulous agents inspects the feet of a business man, whose wingtip shoes rest in a plastic bucket.

Everyone knows the process is a sham. The procedure was instituted to implement security without offending the real suspects. So to provide airport security and appease the sensibilities of the Far Left, hundreds of millions of Americans suffer intolerable lines which waste time and resources.

The Terrorists are the bad guys. It's time to be pragmatic and concentrate our resources on those who fit the profile of the Islamic Jihadist Terrorists. They are Muslims.

Here's a hint for the Democrats. No Islamic Jihadist Terrorist caught on the field of battle, or responsible for the attacks on America, was an Irish Catholic grandmother.

Keep a List

Americans are naturally optimistic. So as the polls continue to indicate that their faith in growth and prosperity has retracted appreciably, it's a good sign. Most can't attribute their apprehension to specific statistics or events. They just smell the country is unraveling.

They have lost faith in Congress' willingness to do the right thing. Again, the folks on Main Street can't necessarily define the actions required to stop the downward spiral, but they have concluded that the government solutions are riddled with "me first" considerations.

This sense of abandonment has really hit a nerve. It's the root cause of the anti-government demonstrations spreading from coast to coast and the take-no-prisoners attitude reflected in the town meetings. It's not a revolution; it's just the case that the public has reached a consensus. Government is out of control.

The realization that there is no distinction between government policy and economic failure has crystallized. The politicians are the culprits. They have greased the skids of economic collapse with self-serving spending.

Americans see no correlation between the massive deficits and the promised bridge to economic recovery. They are incensed by the cynical and blatant use of bribes, by both political parties, to insure the passage of legislation detrimental to the well being of the nation.

In fact, Americans know (instinctively) that the bailouts, make work projects and the government financial props for the housing market, vehicle sales, insulation and green projects create nothing but debt. They know these programs are a charade to protect the office holders.

They are aware that these programs were instituted to temporarily mask the dreadful consequences of unbridled spending. To date, the politicians have amassed $12 trillion of immediate debt, and these same politicians keep advocating more debt as the best solution for an economic recovery.

It's not. Americans know it's not. But the politicians have near universally rejected representative government in favor of building and grooming constituencies to protect their flanks.

The Democrats' inspiration for Obama Care, Cap & Trade, Amnesty and the denial of the terrorist threat is the promise of a Democratic plurality for generations to come. And it would be foolhardy for Americans to believe that the Republican opposition to these measures isn't self-serving.

Their intransigence is propelled by the same objective, namely, their reelection. It just so happens that their position on these legislative initiatives happen to coincide with the majority of Americans.

Business as usual can't continue. Obama, Pelosi and Reid have pushed the nation to the edge of bankruptcy. America needs leaders who believe in the people and the Constitution, leaders who are proud of the country and the principles upon which it was built, leaders ready to protect the institutions that protect the people from government.

We must stop electing liars. Here is a place to begin. Any politician who states that Obama Care is revenue neutral, won't create rationing, won't destroy Medicare, won't require massive new taxes, won't interfere with the doctor-patient relationship and will improve health care is a liar.

Start an "Enemies of the People" list with their names. It will be a good beginning to end the government reign of terror.
