Yesterday’s tea party rallies were a sign that most American’s are fed up.  Another great piece of news was Pat Toomey officially annoucing his challenge to wanna be Democratic Arlen Specter in the 2010 GOP Primary. 

This is how the French President Sarkozy discribed President Obama.  Ironically, President Obama just gave a speech at Georgetown about the Sermon on the Mount.  Hey, at least he is walking the walk.  But look on the bright side, at least the French like us. 

Dear American Economy;

I write to regretfully inform you that my service have been terminated.  Unfortunately, a man who has never held a real job has decided my contribution to the American economic system is no longer necessary.  It is no longer necessary because the United States government has outsourced the contributions of millions of hard working, job producing, income creating capitalist entrepreneurs like me.  Allow me to say goodbye to some close friends.

Goodbye to all those in the service industry -  the bartenders, the waitresses, barbers, and valets  - I hoped you enjoyed my tips for your hard work .  Fear not, my tips are no longer necessary as the government will pay for your student loans, healthcare, rent, and mortgage.

Goodbye to all those that I would have potentially hired – new employees, contractors, etc.  Your services are no longer needed as I have no incentive to grow my business or build something.  However, you will have health care (have patience with the waiting lists) and $13 more in your paycheck, plus you don’t have to pay your mortgage.  Be well, spend it wisely - just do not invest it, there is no point – and enjoy your home.

Goodbye to the my fellow dreamers, thinkers, entrepreneurs, and innovators all of whom were smarter than me.  Your vision taught me a lot.  Your contributions to are nation are priceless.  Sadly, the problems we sought to solve, the diseases we sought to cure, the improvements to peoples lives we sought to make, will be solved by the government.  Heck, Barack is going to cure cancer, smoke if you got ‘em — he is.

Goodbye to those who would have benefited from the cures, products, and advancements those dreamers, thinkers, entrepreneurs, and innovators would have created.  Fret not, however, enjoy your high speed train to Las Vegas, your newly paved highway, your extra $13 a week, and your 20% mortgages rates from runaway inflation.

Goodbye to our children’s future.  However, we thank you for paying for high speed trains to Las Vegas, healthcare, and 20% mortgages rates.  The deadbeats that don’t pay their bills thank you as well.

Thank you America for the opportunities you have given me.  It was a heck of a run.  Would the last capitalist please turn off the fluorescent energy saving lights?

Thank you,

P.S.  Don’t get fooled again American, vote Republican in 2010.

To my supporters in my native State of New Jersey, this man needs your support.  Fight back against Obama’s Marxist agenda!

If there indeed will be a special election for the BHO/Burris/Blago Senate seat is there any doubt this guy should be the Republican candidate:

           Seems like you can’t go anywhere today without folks complaining about the economy and for good reason – it’s a mess.  What is surprising is that every person I speak with — liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat, or independent – apparently believe in supply sider economics. 

            Not sure if you are a supply sider?  Here are some clues. 

If you work as a waiter, waitress, or bartender, and are not happy you are making less tips now, you are a supply sider.

If you are a union construction worker and are out of work because there are fewer projects, you are a supply sider.

If you are an attorney who has been laid off because your old firm’s real estate work dried up, you are a supply sider.

If you sell cars and are not happy the dealership you work for is closing because it isn’t selling any cars, you are a supply sider.

If you are a real estate agent who wants to sell more houses, you are a supply sider.

Its amazing how many consider themselves supplier siders and don’t even know it.  Believe it or not you may actually believe in “Reaganomics.”  Somewhere Milton Friedman is smiling.

       I am not anti-environment.  I believe its sound policy to invest in technology that cuts pollution and waste.  No one likes smog, repertory problems, dirty oceans, and wasted energy.  However, I am deathly afraid of the global warming.  I am not so much afraid that the earth is going to combust and we will cease to sustain life, rather I am afraid of a society that refuses civil debate, especially scientific debate. 

          This is what happened with the debate — or lack there of — about global warming.  The open-minded Left along with their Gestapo muscle, the main stream media, refuse any to allow any civil discussion on the issue.  If you question the reality of global warming, the Left labels you a pariah and a kook.  Meanwhile, there are real questions concerning whether CO2 emissions causes global warming.         Don’t believe me?  Then ask the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, or the grandfather of global warming and mentor to Al Gore, Roger Revelle.  Sadly, Professor Revelle passed away a few years back but not before questioning his own findings on the reality of global warming and warning lawmakers to proceed with caution when drafting policy addressing carbon emissions.        

                I have no idea whether Professor Revelle is correct or whether global warming is real.  That is not the point.  What scares me is the extinction of even the notion of debate on the subject.   But then again the lack of debate is what the Left wants, as reasoned debate quells irrational arguments. 

             The Hollywood Left is quick to condemn activities with an alleged wider societal impact.  The Hollywood Left seems particularly concerned with things we do in the first world that have supposed consequences to those in the third world.    “Green” causes preventing famine in Africa, “fair trade” coffee that helps poor farmers, Tibet, and the Bush administration killing of civilians  in the war on terror are all examples of this phenomenon. 

            But what about the illicit drug use?  Each year the Columbian and Mexican cocaine cartels murder hundreds and terrorize families.  A recent report suggest that Mexican drug gang violence threatens to undermine the stability of the Mexican government.  Moreover, if Mexico and Columbia are too far from home, drive through your nearest inner city ghetto to see what the drug trade has wrought.  Yet, the Hollywood left has yet to fully embrace the condemnation of illegal drug use’s wider societal impact.  Imagine if Starbucks sold coffee that was purchased from murdering thugs, the WTO crowd would shut burn each one down.  However, many on the Left turn a blind eye to those purchase drugs like cocaine although the cost to produce the drug includes the loss of innocent human life, broken homes, and stolen futures. 

            This is just another example of the Left’s hypocrisy.  Enjoy your free trade shade grown coffee  and heroin, just remember the lives it took to get to you. 

America should be petrified of President-elect Obama’s official selection of Leon Panetta for CIA chief.  America should be concerned about Obama’s commitment to effectively fighting the war on terror. 

Immediately after September 11, 2001, President Bush explained that the war on terror would be unlike any war our nation has fought.  Progress would often be difficult to define.  There we no beachheads to take, no hills to secure, no enemy army to conquer.  Moreover, much of the success in this new kind of war would take place in the shadows away from the media spotlight to optimize mission success. 

Former Washington Post editor, Stephen Coll, describes the nature of such covert wars in his Pulitzer prize winner book, Ghost Wars.  While not the main subject of the book, Coll’s painstaking research shows a direct connection between the decline of our intelligence agencies under the Clinton administration and the events that lead to 9-11.    President Clinton’s ideology caused much of the decline.  As lawyer and Rhodes Scholar, President Clinton believed that terrorist should be brought to justice and tried in court rather than killed on the battlefield.  His appointments to key intelligence positions shared his view .  This viewpoint  prevented the CIA from killing Bin Laden on numerous occasions because the CIA was ordered to “capture” him so he could stand trial.

The Panetta appointment signals a return to the Clinton ideology.  Indeed, as Clinton’s chief of staff, Panetta was no doubt present in high level meetings when the “capture or kill” decision was made.  His criticism of the current war leaves little doubt which side Panetta was on in that discussion. 

As many former high level CIA operatives have commented, appointing someone to run the CIA with NO intelligence experience like Panetta will devastate the agency’s morale.  If you worked in a law firm would you be pumped if you new boss never practiced law before?  It is befuddling why Obama would want to ruin morale at arguable the most important agency in the war. 

In recent months, the CIA’s covert operations in Northern Pakistan have resulted in many high level Al-Qeada being killed, including two men on the FBI’s 25 most wanted list.  Do we really want a man with no intelligence experience and who opposes such clandestine operations running the CIA at such a critical time?  Be afraid, be very afraid. 

The City of Philadelphia maintains a $375,000 a year needle exchange program.  (Kudos to the Public Record for revealing this.)  Such programs are illegal everywhere in the Commonwealth except Philadelphia.  The “purpose” of the needle exchange is to “stop the spread of HIV and AIDS among users.”  Everyone is in favor of stopping the spread of HIV and AIDS but how about stopping it by getting people to stop using drugs?  And, just how may fewer cases of HIV and AIDS are spread because of this program?  Typical of liberal government programs, they remain whether they work or not. 

 What makes this story even more ridiculous is that the City is cutting back on vital city services like Fire Departments and libraries while drug addicts still get theirneedles.  Even a Philadelphia institution like the Mummers was forced to go to the City hat in hand to even hold their parade.  2008 will go down as the year that those that played by the rules got screwed.  Enough is enough.
