The Homeless Man and Michelle Obama

1. Cost of a bowl of soup at a homeless shelter: $ 0

2. Cost of staying overnight in a homeless shelter: $ 0

3. Cost of catching a "homeless" man taking a picture of Michelle Obama with his $300 Blackberry (I don't even have one sigh) (+ 100 a month service) WHILE receiving his FREE GOVERNMENT provided meal: PRICLESS !

The Abandoment of Israel

I think it is despicable the way Obama has treated Israel since deceiving his way into his office. I don't for the life of me, understand why or how he can treat the one true ally we have over there the way he has. There is no justification or excuse. Time and time again he has sided with the Palestinians when he should have stood by Israel.
Israel is absolutely JUSTIFIED in its current blockade and according to international law equally as legal. When Israel has bombs constantly lobbed into them they have the right to defend themselves by any means necessary.
We should standing behind them, not chastising them as Obama has done repeatedly. Even some congressional Democrats are beginning to balk and become quick to step up to the mike in support of Israels right to stand up for themselves-finally. They are seeing the potential political fallout coming perhaps belatedly trying to do the right thing.
Of all the countries in the part of the world, Israel is the most like us. They respect a persons right to practice other religions, women work and drive, even be a respected part of the military. Name ANY other country over there that treats its women so well or respects other faiths as they do. You cant because there aren't any.
Israel also is the only true democracy in the Middle East. Why would we not stand up for the one and only capitalist ally we have in that region? We side with countries that not only in some cases support terrorism-outright or subtly, but we take every opportunity to defend them. We are isolating ourselves and allying ourselves with our and their enemies. This cannot be allowed to stand, because when Israel goes down to the Palestinian terrorists we will be truly isolated and the whole Middle East region will be in dire danger of falling.

Obama's Salary Cap

Posted 04/29/2010 07:05 PM ET


Freedom: In voicing his feelings Wednesday about earned wealth, President Obama shone a bright light into the thought recesses of the far left. And what a dark and ugly place it can be.

During a two-day swing through Illinois, Missouri and Iowa, the president went off teleprompter and blundered into another Joe the Plumber moment, that unguarded instant during the 2008 campaign in which he told a potential small-business owner that he planned to spread the wealth around.

"Now, what we're doing, I want to be clear, we're not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned," Obama said in Quincy, Ill. "I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money."
Remarks prepared for the occasion reportedly don't include the president's thoughts about how much money he'd let Americans make. But without the help of a teleprompter to carefully steer him away from his gut feelings, he wandered into a Marxist bramble.

It takes a certain kind of person to think he or she has — or should have — the moral authority to cap other people's incomes. Especially when that person and his wife somehow made $5.5 million in the first year of his presidency, a job that pays $400,000 a year.

In a free society, it's not the president or any other government official or branch that decides when someone has "made enough money," even if liberties are being lost in that free society. Incomes, with the exception of labor contracts won through coercion and union-favorable federal law, are decided by voluntary agreements between employer and employee. To limit what someone can legally earn is morally corrupt and economically foolish.

Envy, the urge to exercise authority over others and pandering to both of those baser instincts are staples of the political left and drive its agenda. Unfortunately, emotions tend to have consequences, and these feelings blind democratic-socialist eyes to the value of economic incentives.

What the left doesn't understand is that capping salaries through government policy destroys the motivation for Americans to develop products and services that enrich lives and expand our economy.
If the president is eager to regulate salaries, he might begin — and end — with the federal work force. Commerce Department data show that average federal worker compensation of $119,982 in 2008 was twice that of average private-sector pay ($59,909).

If he can't bring himself to spread federal workers' wealth around, he and the rest of Washington need to stay away from everyone else's income.

This is the land of liberty and opportunity, where state interference in private affairs is supposed to be intolerable.

Response to an AP article that says Majority lacks trust in government

I love how "nonpartisian" this story is.It's pathetic. Yes the republican party has made mistakes, no denying that, however at the present time we are the only ones trying to say hey the federal gov is getting to big and too powerful. So if saying that makes them the party of No then SO BE IT ! I say no and H** NO to Obama and his czars, his crazy a** speaker of the house, and his notion that we are all too stupid to know whats good for us so he is going to shove it down our throats. Really in the end he is going to A) destroy this country B) possibly get us all killed. Say what you want about Bush (and yes he wasnt perfect), but you could never accuse him of (and be thinking str8) some of the things Obama is clearly guilty of. Clearly the country is falling into three catagories of people: those that want to be taken care of and expect the federal gov to do so hence their fanatical and irrational support of Obama. Those who prefer to take care of themselves with limited government interference and control and those who for whatever reason, simply dont give a rats behind and have their heads buried in the sand like the perverbial Ostrich.
I want a government that supports LESS government control . Less taxes and more incentives for people to acutally work and not fear being punished for it by the IRS. I want a government that doesnt do everything in it's power to destroy the private sector like this one seems h** bent on doing and to some extent even the one before it( much ,much smaller extent however). I want a government that respect the Constitution and its founding fathers not scorn them and their crazy Freemarket capitalist ideas. I want a government that truly hears the voices of its people and not just the unions and special interest groups (of all kinds). I want politicans thats actually give a d*** about doing the right thing and not just paying back their donors and saving their own hides. I want a leader who inspires the same kind of respect as Regean did from the world.And those that didnt respect him feared him because he backed up his words with his actions. Where is that leader now? It sure as H** isn't Obama. I think I probably just want too much though. One can always dream I guess
