I don't want to play nice or fair.

One of the lessons we learned in the police academy was the concept of not fighting fair. Rules like one plus for escalating our aggression. The instructors stated that we could legally used one step above the level of aggression we were subjected to. So you punch me, I can use my baton or OC spray. You bring a knife, I can shoot you. So even in law enforcement there is not concept of fighting fair. Oh but that concept does not apply in France and in many parts of Europe, sucks to be those cops. Maybe it's my nature to want to use any advantage I can to win. Is it a macho or masculine desire to convincingly defeat your opponents? Even though I am an intimidating presence at 6'2 270, I still feel vulnerable. I still remember being picked on and bullied throughout school and yes it still haunts me. I have made Jiu-jitsu a part of my life because of this, I won't fight fair anymore.

Now you know somehow I am going to spin this into some kind of poli-sci lesson. I just can't help myself. We are in a new error of virtually criminal Chicago style politics where it's win at all cost. The Romney camp has been playing a game that died thirty years ago. Though I admire them for being clean, honest, and noble using facts and figure, it's time to kick Obama's campaign in the balls. Now Romney has every right to drive his boot up the Stephanie Cutter, David Axelrod backside. That "Romney killed my wife", vomit ad what the shot across the bow that if I were Romney I would have created a made for television movie. Now my cinema verite would have been filled with plenty of Jeremiah Wright asking God to damn America. Sprinkled with stories of Bill Ayers and the weather underground cop killing ways. I would point out every Communist, Socialist, Capitalist hating influence and mentor Obama every had right there to the big screen.

Though I do not often watched Hannity on Fox News he does have one interesting point that seems to be a common theme for him. This was the least vetted president of all time. I will look you and you right in the eye and ask you to tell me about Obama's past. I bet you won't be able to tell me five things about his personal and business life without having to Google it. This man was a shadow. A low level community organizer with ZERO business experience. Zero job creation skills. Zero management credentials. Zero foreign policy experience, and you put him in the Whitehouse. Hey that would be another great commercial. A bunch of zeros going the across the screen and next to them the lack of skills he did possess to become president, then compared to what his opponent has it night and day.

Romney is too nice of a guy. Paul Ryan is too nice of a guy. It's like Andy Griffith and Opie fighting Brock Lesnar and Chael Sonnen politically. The republican campaign better call in some cleaners because if we keep play patty cake while they are playing rugby, we are going to get our asses handed to us this November. A whole nation will have a bloody nose for some time to come.

Back to what's real

It's been a long time since we spoke on Realism. In the chaos that we are experiencing on a global scale I feel it is necessary to review our beliefs as applied to the current situation. First, thanks Tim for reading the blog and the feedback you give me when we meet. Tim is a partner in Jiu-jitsu crime that leans left of center and oddly we always seem to come to an agreement on our views, some common ground. The common ground is the natural political state that we at our core are born with that I attribute to Realism. At our most raw we tend to be a species that wants to have and thrives on balance. Not too boring all the time, not too over the top exciting. In our natural law we want the same. Not too many restrictions and not too many liberties. Yet in "Our" system we are not being forced or coerced by a government agency or element, we go by the, "Do unto others", rule, which can have pleasant and monstrous consequences. I think that it's the immediacy of the penalty in our way that helps to deter the majority of the bad behaviors and transgressions our fellow humans can bring on us.

So in the current terrorist attack that took at least sixteen days to be fully acknowledged by the Secretary of State, a Realist government would have set up security even prior to the attack understanding the value of being attacked on 9/11. So military or security forces would have been in place with clear orders to defend our interest in the region. No holding arms no prohibiting bullets to the men who had the expert training to defend that poor defenseless ambassador. Under a Realist administration it is a foregone conclusion that we are hated by fanatics and that there are those who just for pleasure want to harm our citizens. There is evil and entire faiths and peoples can be evil either by indoctrination or will. It was naive of the president to think that just because he lived here or there and that he had a Muslim sounding name, he wasn't hated for the part of him he seems to run from most, his Anglo American part.

So playing devils advocate our system missed a beat an our ambassador was assassinated as the current one was. Our response would have been swift, through, decisive. We reserve the right to personally hunt down the dogs who dared challenge us with or without that countries help. If you cant police or control your own and it effects us, in Realism you have forfeited that responsibility to us. Once we are done we return control and command to your officials and go on our way. That speed of pursuit and punishment is key to a truly free society. Now I believe in punishment fitting the crime. If you steal a loaf of bread first we ask why your hungry. If you stole it just to steal then a similar legal system to our current one will judge and sentence you. This will happen very quickly as compared to the current system. I think I lean towards for lower crime ie petty thefts and assaults a street level justice system where our officers have the ability to issue a ruling ,yes just like Judge Dredd, except for felonies and capitol crimes. Wait, how cool would that be...r

You get what you deserve

Maybe we should get another Obama term. Maybe it will teach a good number of us a lesson. Part of our country deserves a swift kick in the ass for burdening us with Obama. Now we will all pay for another term through a  continued mediocre economy. We will become second to China when it comes to military strength and the power of our currency. A dying world power slowing making it's fall equal to that of the Soviet Union. As Obama expands his Socialist agenda in the second term our production and productivity falls due to so many on the dole or working for the government. America will slowly not innovate or invent as much as exist and subsist. I can see a time in the Obama future where we begin to stand in line for things. I remember during the Carter administration time where tough around the house and grandma would take us to the local rec center to stand in line for a bad of government food. Today instead of the humbling experience of the food stamp and the food line we give our people an debit card.

Throughout my life I have heard parents tell each other, "let him fall, how's he gonna learn to get up if he doesn't know how to fall". We are in some very difficult times but I really dont consider this a fall. Another term would bring it. Another term for Obama would usher in a new era of dependency and stagnation. More bowing to foreigners and apologies to our enemies. The world will talk about us in the past tense. Remember when, will be what starts a conversation about the United States in the end of the second term for Obama. I go as far as to say that I see a bolder attack of the U.S. in the Obama second term. With his policy of shoot first ask questions later, the intelligence agencies are starving for fresh information. When before you sent operatives in for renditions, now a guy on a Joystick at Barkdale AFB sends a Hellfire down the tailpipe. Without those bodies in the cells feeding you data to pled for their freedom, the next Bengahzi is around the corner.

A line in one of my favorite songs goes, "Some say the end is near","Some say we'll see Armageddon soon, certainly hope we will, I could us a vacation from bullshit three ring circus of side show freaks". Yes I am tired of the cult of Obama and if it takes another term to finally solidify his place in history as the destroyer of what was America I say let him have it. Let his presidency be the chemotherapy that sickens us first to heal us. The true Americans will survive. Though a generation might pass before she regains her glory, American will return. The Obama presidency will be the Bogeyman we scare our children with when they continue to depend too much on us. The name Obama will be synonymous with defeat, decay, dependency. So, will you pull an Obama this fall?

The dream that is a third party.

As I have become more mature in my thinking and reasoning, I have become more tolerant of certain behaviors and customs. I look at the things that I have done and experienced in my short forty three years and have calmed down in my fervor for what I thought was right and just. I still have beliefs that are clearly black and white and do feel I will never compromise or change. I am pro-life, but not like you would assume pro-lifers. I do not back gay marriage, but for a completely different reason than religious, it's more Nietzschen than that. Though I can be seen clearly politically as a conservative I know it's time for another political path. Many would think I should just join the Libertarian party but remember as a Realist I believe in preemptive war. The Libertarian party would have me sign that away and I will not.

Decades and decades millions have thought about and formulated the idea of a third party, yet since Perot no one has come close. The Tea party has made some political dents, yet they act only as endorsers not a platform building group. There is the Green Party, the Socialist, I could go on and on. Where is the party for those who just want the government to act as tool and not a machine. I want boring, stay out of my way and others lives kind of government. I will send you a little money every paycheck to fix my roads and run the military, other than that go home. Rick Perry had a great idea. Did I just say that?! Yes, Rick Perry had a great idea, politicians should be part time and serve occasionally through term limits. Maybe that should be the name of the new party, the "Part Time Party".

I think and hope that in my lifetime it will happen. That a new party emerges that wants government to small and stay away from social issues. Leave those to the states to handle. A party that ask those we appoint to work in our communities and not D.C.. One can only dream.

Why do they still believe?

Bread and circuses have been the staple for totalitarian governments for thousands of year. When a ruler has felt his control of rule slipping he promises parties or pastries. We are so like sheep. We follow our bellies to the end. We also follow the fear of not having something in our gut. The human race is constantly in a battle with our bodies over our intellect. We see ourselves so much more evolved than other species on the planet. Push come to shove we will kill our fellow man for a loaf of bread or a gallon of crude. Throughout history there have been those charismatic leaders for both good and evil use that base part of our nature to guide us or compel us to act. From the divine Christ and loaves and fishes to Hitler and the fatherland, the very primitive part of us has be used, this is where we stand today.

Now there have been comparisons on both sides of Obama as deity and demon. I subscribe to neither. I believe he is a dysfunctional man who through his ability to manipulate through speech has duped millions. Obama to me is just wrong not evil or demonic as some have purported. So in his errors, in his miscalculations, he has tapped back into the circuits that are still easily programmable within us. Now I certainly don't believe he has done this alone. This Obama path has been an artificially created and mold road. The right mentors, the right schools, the right tragedies. When I look at Obama's life its seems there is no other path that he could have followed other than Socialism. Really? Did I just suggest a Manchurian candidate?

So why do they still believe in him? The half or less of us Americans who still see the failed experiment of Obama as a viable option still for the future. The only reasonable answer is clear and simple. Romney said it and it nearly killed his campaign. I can say it because I am no one, nobody. Americans are losing their independent, small business creating, hard working spirit. So now we are afraid and lost and don't remember how to sacrifice and struggle and save. We have become in part a nation of woulda, coulda, shoulda. There is only one choice who will save us from ourselves and guarantee we eat and be merry. The guarantee comes with a high price, the eventual death of our nation as we know it. When your afraid your instincts take over, and if you have always been trained to stick your hand out you won't be able to take that hand and pick up a shovel.

So decades of dependence has brought us to have these mass of crowds looking for a savior. They cried, "Hope and Change, Hope and Change". Reminds me of a scripture I will paraphrase. "When they cried, Peace, Peace, sudden destruction befell them". This November use your intellect, not your belly.

Oh did we say it was a terrorist attack?

What a backpedal. The UN embarrasser was all over the Sunday new shows saying how these were just a bunch of rowdy kids that got upity and brought RPG's and two man recoiless rifles to a little protest. It just got out of hand you know. I always keep an RPG in my car, because you never know when someone will insult the Lord Jesus Christ and I need to destroy their embassy and kill the ambassador. That's just the way Libyans roll. Then a US security specialist came out and said, "there is no doubt this was a preplanned coordinated attack". Then the real rub was that a Gitmo alumni was at the head of the operation. Of course our president was hard at work looking over the intel reports and, oh way he was with Beyonce and Jay-Z at and then a fund raiser at the Waldorf Astoria. The president was singularly focused on bringing these "law breakers"' because there are not terrorist according to the administration, to justices. Pour me another Crystal.

Vive la France! My 100th post!

It has to be the end of the world is coming. I never thought in my lifetime that I would ever be applauding the French for their courage. I know that's a back handed compliment but it's my first. The French publication Charlie Hebdo has released some cartoons that make fun of the prophet Mohammed. Though in that part of the planet with the huge Muslim population it's more than courageous it's a real risk. The offices of Charlie Hebdo were bombed the last time they posted similar cartoons. Now I do not agree with poking fun of any faith, it's just not polite. What I do believe is that when someone makes that choice they should be able to express themselves without the local Islamofacist trying to behead you or blow up the neighborhood. The Muslim culture does not seem to want to assimilate into the French culture or any other other culture per se so I tip my hat to the French for calling them out.

I think free persons from all over the planet should declare a symbolic war on any culture who limit the free exercise of speech. I believe we may already be in an actual war against these freedom haters since the premeditated assassination of our ambassador in Lybia and the attacks on our embassies all over the globe. What got us here? I think political correctness and tolerance. Yes tolerance I say as you scratch your head. There are beliefs and traditions and systems that are incompatible with the American way and the way of freedom. Shari'a is one of them. Being tolerant to the idea that we can allow anyone in the US to use their own laws due to religious needs slides us down that slippery slope of government endorsing religion. Though I do firmly believe in Christ I do not want anyone in the government directing me free exercise of.

I will eat some french fries and drink a glass of Burgundy and salute the French for giving these radicals the finger in a comical way. I hope that this escalates really if I have to be honest with myself. I think the only way some of my fellow humans will allow me true freedom of speech is to be lain quietly in the ground. If only they would be as tolerant of me as I am of how they speak of America.

How we will lose.

I have constantly heard over the election campaign that the election was Romney's to lose. With every single aspect of our countries social and economic strength diminished, you'd expect a powerful, successful businessman to just walk into the victory. Now Romney does have the deck stacked against him in when it comes to the mainstream media, a significant challenge to overcome. However, the public is begging for specifics and answers and the base of the party is scratching their heads wondering when those answers will come. I hope this is some mad scientist type of strategy that maybe the thought is peaking too soon before the election would hurt Romney. I pray that they are just waiting for the debates. One thing about that play that concerns me is that 30 states have early voting. So you could have voters making their choices before even seeing or hearing the specifics of Romney's platform.

I have seen some presidential moments from Mr. Romney. I thought he was right on the mark with his speech on the debacle in Libya. I think that what the country is being suckered into is an emotional attachment to a candidate again. Mr. Romney is not going to be that candidate. This is a sober, calculating, thoughtful business genius who is more drill instructor than drama class teacher. This whole situation reminds me of the Biblical story of when Israel was asking for a king. The entire time God was telling them he didn't want them to have a king they have Him. After the nations pestering God relented and gave them exactly what they asked Him for a king. Now they weren't very specific and to teach them a lesson he gave the nation a leader who later on turn psychotic. So a good portion of this nation is pleading for a king and not a president. Those on the left want that charismatic individual to fall in love with like the first Obama run. You got what you asked for, but it's not what we need.

How do I convince those of my friends that are asking for a king and not a president? How do I remind them that we are Americans and that no one rules us anymore? How we will lose will depend on the individual's ability to want to live lean for a short amount of time while a conservative administration repairs the socialist holes drilled into our society. Do we have the fortitude as a people to endure this discomfort? We have struggled for four years most of us are worn down and exhausted of treading water. I ask you all to make the choice to return to a type of government where the individual and his efforts are the focus not the government puppeteering the masses. Be tough, be brave, make the hard choice.

Return an iron fist to the middle east.

I have given up trying to understand the middle eastern mind. Jackie Chan last year made an outrageous statement that I am reevaluating. Jackie Chan when asked what he thought about democracy for China he stated, "Some people just can't be free","They need an iron hand". For a few weeks he was called every sort of name short of vulgarities. I think he was on to something and I am realizing his view of some cultures fit the Arabic culture. When you look historically at the governments and rulers that were effective in controlling the masses, they were Totalitarian rulers or monarchs. Every time they went easy on the population and tried to implement any sort of self rule, the really radical and maniacal factions rose up.

My question is why does the entire world be democratic? Why does the United States have to keep exporting what we have here to a world and culture that rejects it? The world is imperfect and maybe there are just individuals that have to live under tyranny and fear because the have no ability to govern themselves. Look even in Russia there are millions of people calling for the return of the Soviet Union. These people at least are fully aware that they are sheep and need to be led. They see no hope in individuality or independence. These peoples fear self reliance and self sufficiency. There is a peace in group think and culture. True freedom is extremely risky.

As a powerful force for freedom America needs to come to the human conclusion that our system is unique and not one size fits all. The age of democracy and freedom for all is dead. We have the living examples in the countries effected by the Arab spring, that once these iron fisted rulers are deposed, the population begs for complete oppression through a religiously dominant ruler who has little tolerance for free will. Some people just can't be free.

Islam=Peace?

Yet again we find ourselves in the middle of a religious war. Yes we are again at war. Our embassies both in Bengahzi and Cairo have been burned and two Marines and an ambassador are dead. For the life of me I can't remember a time in my life time when a negative comment against Christianity was made and a full scale attack was launched. I am really trying to remember one. Again as eleven years ago the "Moderate" voices of the Islamic faith are silent. No condemnation, no rebuke, just silence that to me equals acceptance. CAIR quickly comes out when there is opposition of some Muslim project or discrimination takes place. Where are they now when human life is lost? Silent. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the Marines and the ambassador.

The Whitehouse quickly putting it's tail between it's leg and apologising for the film and the free speech that "caused" these peaceful Muslim people to kill three human beings in cold blood. Yet who has sent the prime minister of Israel an apology for the diplomatic snub yesterday. I think we see a pattern in who's allegiance is more important to this president. Why are we so afraid of just telling the world the truth about Islam and just letting the end come? We are the most powerful entity on the planet. We took on the Soviet Union and ran it into the ground, but when some third world rabble rouse yells, "Allah Akbar",  we run for cover and cower. We need to put an end to this gentleness toward radical Islam lately and put a boot on the neck again.

Who are we? Are we that weak and defeated as a people? Has this economic downturn broken our warrior spirit? Did we forget these last four years that WE make the world a better and freer place? We need to remember that as Americans, black, white, Latino, whatever, we bring order and democracy to the entire planet. Will we let a religion, any religion dominate us or control us, I say no.

Police state

I used to blow off Alex Jones as an Art Bell wannabe. A radio personality just wanting to make an honest buck entertaining the hoards of fans of that type of radio. For the last month I am starting to worry myself that I am starting to believe his police state hype. One of the stories that most convinced me that on a federal level we were losing our freedoms was the case of Brandon Raub. Brandon Raub was the Marine that was literally kidnapped and placed in a mental hospital for his speech on Facebook. It took a judge to finally get the government to release his indefinite hold on him. I can see and illegal combatant but an American citizen? We have crossed the line at the federal level taking away your liberty with just a word and no trail. We should all be very frightened by this escalation.

Now comes the case of a young man Justin Hallman. Again I give credit to infowars.com for the article. This minor, he is 16, was questioned by the FBI about a youtube project he received an A on for school. The project was a pro Ron Paul video that spoke about some very intricate governmental and constitutional issues. The FBI's special agent Matthew Bowman attempted to recruit the child to infiltrate the infamous Anonymous group. I do not understand why the federal government would place a child's life in so much danger to gain access to these hackers. I understand that Anonymous has been a throne in the side of the US since the Wikileaks Bradley Manning case, but to bring a minor into the fight is the height of irresponsibility.

As far as I understand someone in this childs school saw the video as a threat and reported to the FBI. Justin describes the questions that were asked of him that leads you to believe this assertions. I hate to go here but I guess this Rican will. It just gives me the WWII Nazi Germany creeps when I here incidents like these. I remember the phrase that came out of the days of our nations most tragic event we honor today, "See something, say something". It makes sense to be a responsible citizen you should act. The look at the phrase closer. In it it never asks you to do one other piece that is critical to our free republic, "THINK". If you think about what your looking at it causes you to try to understand. That pause is crucial in our very paranoid society these days. That knee jerk, jump on the phone and rat out our neighbors before doing what was done 50 years ago by talking to our neighbors is isolating us to death.

That division is what gives those who would take our freedoms away the upper hand. United we stand divided we fall.

Interview with candidate for 30th Congressional district, Major Travis Washington Jr. USAF (Ret)

Since we are meeting pretty much for the first time Major, what are the 3 most important facts about you my fans and I should know?
I am pro-life
I support our rights to bear arms
I believe God should remain in the United States Constitution

What is the most important issue that needs to be immediately addressed for the people of the 30th congressional district?
Unemployment.

What are the experiences that you had while a Major in the Air Force that prepared you to take on Washington bureaucracy and gridlock?
The Department of Defense is an organization in which the Services and Agencies are capable of coordinating effectively together. I was last assigned to the Pentagon in Washington D.C., where bureaucracy does exist, but I have also been assigned to the operational levels where gridlock is not an option. The important thing to understand is the mission must continue. I don’t believe that is any different on Capitol Hill. Though politicians may disagree, they must ultimately continue to effectively serve constituents.

Would you now be able to go against the president on his decisions, since you served for so long and were trained to?
Though the President is the Commander in Chief, military members are not coerced into agreeing with policies outside of military service. If elected to serve in the United States Congress and if there is an issue in which we have a difference of opinion, it would be my duty to voice my concerns just as it is the President’s duty to do the same.

What is the worst part of running for congress?
The worst part is asking for campaign donations in the midst of an economic crisis.

How difficult is it to attract African Americans to the Republican party?
I think the real question is “how difficult is it to show African Americans that for the most part their conservative values are more in-line with the current Republican Party than they are with the Democratic Party?” Most people assume their elected counterparts possess similar values or make exceptions for variances because they have no intention of changing their political party.

What is you stance on our ever increasing debt?
We need to address our ever increasing debt immediately. I believe government spending is and has been the problem.

What is your stance on Socialized healthcare?
Extreme socialism has failed in numerous societies. The United States continually discusses revitalization and reform of its major socialized programs Social Security, and Medicare. I think socialized healthcare would be an additional burden to the American public.

Should we continue to have a Federal reserve?
We should continue to have a transparent Federal Reserve unless we are able to come up with a viable option.

Where do you see America in the next four years?
That depends on who wins the election November 2012. I see light on the Horizon if Romney is elected. If he is not elected I predict an increase in debt.

I would like to thank Major Washington for coming on Ricantotheright. If you would like to learn more or for contributions please go to http://www.traviswashingtonjrforcongress.com .

The world needs ctrl-alt-del

Someone out there keeps pushing the illusion that the worlds economy and morals are improving. Subtle hits by the media that events and reality are not as bad as the mathematics are saying. The European economy is still of life support. China is headed to another stimulus package. This morning the US woke to 368,000 Americans leaving the work force. The worst labor participation rate in thirty one years. Yet oh yet I know today the Obama administration with pat itself on the it's back and spin the numbers. The convention was full of the false facts that blinded alot of uninformed Americans in the last election. I think the different this time is that Americans are famous for being fair weather fans and it's storming.

The convention knows that it is dealing with a segment of the population that it's working so hard it can't go back and fact check every word they say. So once this part of the populace hears the rants they take it in and have no way to intellectually protect themselves with facts. Mr. Obama spoke and ridiculed the Romney campaign for calling Russia an enemy of the US. Russia under Putin in bringing back the iron to dissidents by imprisoning them. The Russian military is building up it's arms stockpile again. Putin is consolidating power again in a single man, himself. Al-Qaida has been cordoned off to a small corner of the world and being taken out at will. Yet Obama pats the president of Russia on the knee and states, "Tell him in my next term I will be more flexible".  

A reset is needed. Socialism should have died in the 80's! Let's finally do to Socialism what I saw done in Chilé, put a knife to the jugular and keep the knife in so it bleeds out. Let capitalism steam roll us out of this global funk. Let imagination and individuality flourish throughout our world so that our dreams can be made into reality. Global governments have suppressed our liberty long enough. Press reset now.

Thrill is gone

This is the last hoorah for the left. After their messiah delivers his gospel, the rains will not cease and the seas will not be calmed. Those close to him might have a bit a residual enlightenment, however the twenty three million unemployed and the thousands of struggling business owners won't fall for those old Jedi mind tricks again. The sales pitch is just that now, a used car salesman's desperate plea to make another buck the illusion of quality. The Greek columns are gone and the stadium was traded down.

So what is next for the president?

God is dead to Demos

So God is dead at the Democratic convention. God is just too uncool, too controversial. God had to be put down according to the DNC. Oh lest we forget with the Hebrew God comes the Hebrew capitol of Jerusalem, off with it's head. Chop chop and gone, the founding principle of our nation killed by a political party. Over night abortion rung in the hall. My body, choice. It's my baby and I will kill it if I want to. The hard working job creators told they need to pony up even more by young up start Socialist San Antonio Mayor Castro. See last night was the real face of the Democratic party coming out. The emotional pleas, the smoke and mirror. Social justice as Biblical doctrines. This convention is more like a cancer, those first cells of the disease are never noticed.

Though I do not believe in the same faith as Mitt Romney, at least he espouses faith and freedom. The Democrats stated yesterday that we are "All" part of the government. That we owe it, that we should become a part of it. I remember a line from one of my favorite Sci Fi shows, "we are the Borg, resistance is futile". The other philosophy of the Borg was that whatever you were previously would be slowly machined away making you into a drone. Making you into a mindless follower who's only goal was the preservation of the group. Your name gone, your uniqueness erased, you ended up as, "One Of". I hear the low rumbles of civil disobedience on the horizon from both the Left and the Right. To Americans the individual is the Holy Grail of society, to attack that as the Obama administration is, is to attack our core beliefs. Neither end of the political spectrum will ever accept that.

If you can't beat them, lie

It never ceases to amaze me. The amount of just sheer lying that is done during political campaigns. Not exaggerations, not embellishments, just flat out, bold faced lies. I have seen political attack ads in the past, however I have never seen ones accusing candidates of killing someone or throwing people over cliffs as in this election. What is this win at all cost attitude put on by those on the left? It's simply they have no record of any success to stand on. The presidents minions keep claiming they have created jobs for twenty seven straight months. No they haven't the private sector has. The current administration claims they have stabilized the jobs market, yet unemployment continues to rise.

The question all of us should be asking is why give Obama another chance if he has failed? The housing market is still depressed. Our trade deficit is the highest ever. The national debt as I write this just hit sixteen trillion dollars. That means more than a third of the national debt has been added under the Obama administration. Sure a little help from Bush. I give him a trillion of it, but that leaves Mr. Obama with 4.4 trillion on his books. A brand new tax ie. Obamacare, bowing to other leaders and diminishing our power internationally and insulting our allies like Israel. What else does a man have to do to not get reelected?

If it doesn't kill you...

If it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger. I heard that phraae throughout my workout and athletic life. The concept that if an act or exercise or routine challenges you to the point of complete fatigue, you will be the better for it. I was hoping we could apply this to our current economic situation here in the US. Through past economic mistakes starting from the Carter administration, and not repaired in the Bush, we have a giant financial barbell on the chest of each and every sector of our businesses. Now with the introduction of forcing equality, over regulation, and socialized medicine we are at our max resistance. This resistance should be looked on as a positive. As a smelter that we have been placed in to purify our metal as Americans. Under all of this pressure we have no choice but to make two decisions. Drop the weight or push through the lift. If we look throughout our two hundred plus years of existance as a nation we have always chosen the later.

Instead of condemning the Obama administration we should give them a large sloppy kiss right on the mouth. The left has handed those of us on the right a gift. They have not used the sudilty of the Clinton administration by moving to the center to gain more power and time over the American populace. What the Obama left has done is shone their true core colors to us. That the real goal of this mindset is, control of the population through addicting them through government benefits. Another goal is to diminish the foreign influence of foreign policy through isolationism and apologies. Also the Left will use the current economic collapse to place free businesses under government control. The Obama administration has just not hidden it's hand well and that pressure of turning us in a different direction so fast has woken millions up to the fact that if we continue on this path, we won't be America any longer.
