Reset Button

     Amazing!  I just listened to President Obama on the news speaking to the Europeans how they are in a tough spot right now in regards to meeting their energy and security needs in part because they have grown reliant on Russia and have not diversified their energy sources.   Unfortunately, America is dependent on foreign energy as well.   The “drill baby drill” party has been preaching energy independence the last 6 years but their message has fallen on deaf ears, until now.   As we see the reset button Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed with Russia fail, Obama is finally becoming ‘more flexible’ and talking more about exporting U.S. energy.

     The Keystone pipeline, new drilling technology, and increased drill permitting have all been met with incredible resistance from the Obama administration, his lockstep democrat party, and his radical environmental supporters.  Billions of dollars have been pumped into renewable energy sources like solar and wind but there have been no detectable benefits.  In fact, billions of dollars have been lost from these energy companies going bankrupt after getting huge loans from the American taxpayers.   

     My own electric bill has soared over the past few months and gas has topped $3.50 again!   Perhaps, if the Obama administration was not so opposed to fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas we would not be seeing such high heating costs and gasoline prices.  We would actually have an advantage over these non-friendly energy producers like Russia right now had we diversified.

          Got gas?  America does!  America has incredible natural resources that we are not harvesting and using because the folks leading us have this utopian vision of the world that is not practical.   Many of them are financially secure so paying extra at the pump or on their heating bill does not really affect them as is does the majority of Americans.  We need to start using commonsense solutions and not allow this powerful progressive agenda run our nation into the ground.  I say drill baby drill and let’s press our own reset buttons at the voting booth in 2014!

Obama’s America

Obama’s America

     Film producer Dinesh D’Souza, a ‘renegade conservative’, was recently indicted for election campaign finance fraud charges.   Is this a coincidence?  He may or may not be guilty.  What is known is that Dinesh D’Souza is a political enemy of President Barrack Hussein Obama because he produced the surprise hit and highest grossing documentary ‘Obama’s America 2016’ that came out just before the 2012 elections.

     D’Souza made three predictions at the end of his movie.  First, he predicted Obama would not do anything significant to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons and he hasn’t.  The most recent negotiations have stalled as centrifuges continue to spin.    Russia, an ally of Iran in its nuclear program development and supporter at the United Nations, senses Obama’s weakness.  As we watch Russia waltz into Ukraine with military forces without fear, we have to wonder about the United States diminishing influence on the world stage.

     Second, D’Souza predicted that Obama would spend money like the deficit did not matter and he has.  In fact, every year, Obama has increased the debt by one trillion dollars.  The U.S. debt is now over 17 trillion dollars.  This huge debt is a global redistribution of wealth to other nations, many who are not friends of America.

     Third, D’Souza predicted that Obama would cut defense and increase taxes.  Secretary of State Chuck Hagel just announced the White House plan to severely cut back defense spending. Obama himself is asking for cuts in defense and increases in taxes in his new budget. 

     I would say that is three for three, a trifecta, according to current events.  I believe the accuracy of D’Souza’s forecast has made him the perfect conservative political target as they try to extinguish his voice, just like the IRS did with TEA Party conservatives.  The question is how did this guy, a foreign student from Mumbai, India, that eventually became a U.S. citizen and a college president, get it right?   Well, you will have see the movie at our next TEA Party meeting, rent or buy the movie, or go online and watch it for free to find out.

Cap and Trade

                                                             Cap and Trade

     One of the first of many failed policies of President Obama and his New Democrat Party was Cap and Trade.   It passed the Democrat house but stalled and died in the Democrat senate.  Instead of focusing on getting the economy back on track in 2008, they focused on Cap and Trade, an un-stimulating Stimulus, and an unaffordable failing Healthcare Act.

      Cap and Trade is basically a government takeover of companies by regulating their carbon emissions.  Companies produce a ‘carbon footprint’ and the bigger the footprint the more they would have to pay to operate.  Supposedly, this would reduce pollution and create revenue that our rulers would eventually let trickle back down to us….yeah right!  Even Obama said an inconvenient truth, “Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket!”

       How the Democrats didn’t ram Cap and Trade through when they controlled the Senate and the House is a political miracle for freedom loving Americans!  Liberal emotionally loaded names like ‘save the planet’, ‘global warming’, and ‘income inequality’ were employed to soften our hearts but the intent was to control and step all over us with their big government boot.  Frankly, I am tired of seeing the Constitution and middleclass Americans trampled underfoot.

        As a concerned citizen of the United States, I would like to put forward my own Cap and Trade  Plan;  come November 2014 every freedom loving American be registered to vote and bring two other registered freedom loving Americans with you to the polls aiming to clean up the political pollution in D.C..   We can CAP Obama’s ability to pass more harmful laws his last two years by TRADING those that voted in lockstep for these failed policies.  With new freedom loving Americans representing us, we can walk the walk and not the plank!  

     In closing, I think the footprint that really matters to most of us right now is the one on each of these rascals’ behinds as they pack their bags and head out of Washington come November!

Laura Story - Blessings I just heard this song on the radio...AWESOME!

A great visual for understanding the immigration problem. Bringing them here is not the solution.

New Blood

New Blood

     I had the privilege of hearing a young man from Las Cruces by the name of David Clements speak at a rather large gathering of concerned Sierra County Citizens on Monday .  It was refreshing to see so many folks interested in hearing what Mr. Clements, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, had to say.

     I liked his reference point, the Constitution of the United States, which many of our politicians swear to uphold but probably have not studied or even read it from cover to cover. (They tend to not read important things, like the Obamacare Health Bill, but they should!)  The Constitution is a short read and is PACKED with common sense logic to guide our nation into the future; applause for Mr. Clements for using the Constitution as a guide and compass.

     Mr. Clements has conservative values which I think our country greatly needs.  It seems we are in a ‘progressive’ freefall of anything goes.  Standards, morals, and ethics that guide our leaders’ decision making and their lifestyles are ‘loose’.   Frankly this ‘fundamental transformation of America’, this journey from the middle ground to the far left in politics and government, scares the heck out me.  One only needs to have watched how Obamacare deceptively got pushed through all the branches of government, how promises were made and not kept, and how the cost of this mad progressive social experiment is hurting  Americans.

         Leadership matters!  Let’s educate ourselves this election cycle on the candidates.  What are their values and what will they use to guide their leadership decisions?  Let’s voice our convictions with our vote this November after we have thoroughly evaluated the person’s resume and voting record.  Ultimately, America is OUR responsibility. 

     Mr. Clements said several times he is applying for this Senate  job and we would be his boss.  It is evident he desires to serve and not be served.  America needs a service-minded transfusion of new blood.   With a sincerity to serve, a passion for common sense, and a commitment to the Constitution, we can improve our future and the future prospects of our children.
