Hillary Clinton

I've really never been a big Hillary fan. She's too liberal for my taste, particularly regarding gun control. However, I do think she is doing a good work, striving for peace and alliance in the middle east.

But i have a conspiracy theory to share with you. I know President Obama and her do not get along regarding how things should be done. I wonder if he has her over there so often to keep her from interfering in domestic affairs and damaging his political image...

Hope

I got this in an email :)

You can't see the rest, but Uncle Sam has a thought bubble that says, "It's fading."

No kidding.

Agreement and Progressivism

"Even on things we usually agree, they say no. They just think it's better to score political points before an election than to solve problems."

The President said this today in a speech, where he told us that he is going to raise taxes on oil, spend another $50 Billion to "stimulate" the economy and create jobs "immediately." The republicans have perhaps been working with him on past initiatives that were similar, but we can hope that maybe the Republicans in the legislative branch are seeing that this progressive, "moving forward" and "creating a better tomorrow" business is really a load of crap to socialize America, and that socialism doesn't work as well as it's proponents claim.

We can only hope.

The republicans need all the political points they can get. I hope they keep up this strategy of disagreeing with the progressives.And they need to steer this country back toward the free market, back to deregulation, back to letting us keep the money we earn, and thereby create more jobs, because we'll have the money to pay more workers, which will produce more product and services, have more money for research, marketing, and advertising, and create a higher demand. More demand, more money, more sales, more jobs, more income for the Fed.

Wow. What a concept.

From the President's tone today, I can see that the he's in a panic. He is angry that we want to take things back to how they used to be, the way that worked, the way that created the roaring 90s: Reganomics.

Read the full article here on FoxNews. You can see how worked up he really is, that he's losing political capital.

False Reasoning

Thinking that we can solve the problem of growing government by growing the government, as well as more spending to stimulate a debt-ridden economy, is circle reasoning, bordering on being non-sequitur. I'm just saying.

Quote of the Week

"Sometimes I can't remember really important things.... yet, somehow, I can remember all the times I've gone pee in the past six months."

-my 18-year-old brother

So I read today on CNN and FoxNews that the Iraq War has cost the United States less, in its 7 or 8 years, than the recent stimulus bill that was passed. The Iraq war has show results. The government has kept us safe through fighting it, which, last I checked, is its job.

The stimulus bill has done nothing of the sort, save raise taxes and drive us further into debt. Sounds productive, huh? A strong federal government was not what the founding fathers had in mind, and said bill has certainly not been in line with their way of thinking. We've seen a 25%increase of government with this and other recently-passed bills.

And it's all done against the voice of the majority of the people. A democrat/progressive/liberal I engaged in a debate (if you can call it that; he just attacked people the whole time) put their view rather succinctly:

"D*** the Republicans! Full Speed ahead!"

I figured that's how it was...now my worst fears have been confirmed.
