Crisis Averted! Pelosi Has The Answer!

26 01 2009

After centuries of critical thinking and testing, Western economists are still struggling to agree on the best way to minimize the effects of an economic contraction. Is it the supply-side approach? Or maybe it’s applying Keynesian principles? Fear not oh people of these great United States, for Nancy Pelosi has uncovered the secret that has been missed by the greatest minds known to man! The answer you ask? Birth control funding, of course.

Birth control funding? The answer to our recession? Yes, that is the very question going through the minds of rational thinkers everywhere. Dr. Roy Cordato, Vice President of Research at the John Locke Foundation writes in the JLF Locker Room that Nancy Pelosi wants to use federal revenues for birth control and “family planning” practices. She argues it would stimulate the economy by saving the states money they would otherwise spend on social services. I am seriously trying to wrap my head around this insane logic, but with little success. Is her message simply that babies are a potential burden to society and that we, as a society, would be better off if those babies were aborted?

The explanation to Pelosi’s thinking is best explained by Dr. Cordato himself. Here is his full post:

“Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said yesterday that federal revenues spent on birth control and family planning will help save states money on social services and therefore should be considered economic stimulus. Of course what she is more than suggesting is that procreation among poor people is a burden to society and therefore needs to be stifled by the Feds. This is completely consistent with the views of those who were the pioneers of the progressive movement during the early part of the 20th Century. Most of Pelosi’s intellectual forefathers and mothers were ardent advocates of eugenics, a philosophy based on pseudo science, which suggested that population growth among the lower classes needed to be controlled because they were a social burden. For example, economist John Maynard Keynes, father of “stimulus package economics” was on the board of the British Eugenics Society and Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, was an outspoken believer and advocate of Eugenics who saw her organization as a tool of accomplishing her goals in this area.” http://www.johnlocke.org/lockerroom/lockerroom.html?id=18703

Can you believe the nerve of these liberals? These extreme liberal democrats are using the nation’s economic troubles in order to push their extreme, vile agenda onto the public. The Speaker of the House of Representatives actually condones the use of federal tax dollars to fund “family planning” a.k.a abortion practices in the U.S. This is absolutely treacherous!

Ms. Pelosi does not concern herself with the fact that there are a huge percentage of Americans that are against abortion and believe it to be morally wrong? Forcing pro-life individuals to pay for abortions or other questionable birth control practices via their tax contributions would be a severe case of taxation without representation.





Do You Want To Silence Opposing Views Too?

21 01 2009

As Bush walked onto the inaugural stage, the pro-Obama crowd felt it necessary to mock and ridicule him. I am ashamed and embarrassed for those imbeciles who insist on behaving like animals. Have people so little respect for the office of the President that they would treat their outgoing leader with such contempt? It appears to be so.

This is a perfect example of the liberal intolerance of opposing views. Liberals are determined to silence those who disagree with them while insisting that the silenced be conciliatory to liberal views. What a blatant violation of the 1st amendment to the Constitution. Isn’t the promise of freedom of speech supposed to apply to everyone? According to liberals, apparently not.

One example of this intolerance is the libs are determined to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, which will enable government bureaucrats to silence conservative talk-radio. I specify only conservative talk-radio because there are so few liberal talk-radio stations that get any attention at all. And therein lies the problem of “fairness.”

Congress refuses to admit that conservative talk-radio is as popular as it is because the people actually want to listen to it! It is simple, conservative talk-radio is driven by public demand! The only reason liberal views do not have “equal” airtime is because consumers do not demand it! It’s as simple as that.

This is also the reason why liberals do not like the free market. Free markets favor conservative views and the libs cannot allow the rational choice of consumers to ruin their big plans!

Wait. Aren’t our elected officials in Congress supposed to be representing  us, the people, their constituents? Their actions make it blatantly obvious that public service is not in their agenda.





HR 4040: Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. Protect Your Business And Fight This!!!

14 01 2009

READ THIS LEGISLATION AND CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMEN IMMEDIATELY!!!

HR 4040 is the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. From what I have heard, there are still a great deal of people that have no idea what this bill is about. HR 4040 is disgraceful and unfair piece of legislation that passed both houses of Congress almost unanimously and then quickly signed by our president. I cannot comprehend who in their right mind would think this regulation is good for anyone. This bill requires that all toys, articles of clothing, and even all inputs to clothing (buttons, string, etc.) to be individually tested for lead. OK, no one wants lead poisoning, but this is absolutely ridiculous! Lead in a button!!! Give me a break! A close relative of mine has her own children’s clothing line and recently checked into what it would cost to test ONE button for lead. The answer she received…$25.00 each! Yes, you read correctly, $25.00 to test ONE button for lead. A cost like this will drive any company out of business, small or large. Those in our government are either total idiots or they have an ulterior motive to bankrupt every small businesses they possibly can. I am fairly confident it is mostly the latter. Why our elected officials would want to do this to small businesses, I just do not know.

The bill is to take effect in February of this year, but must be stopped! Please send a letter to your Congressmen and Senators and insist they fight against this bill before it is put into effect. During this time of recession, our country cannot afford to put even more people out of work. Not only will this significantly increase unemployment, but it will bankrupt the businesses that many have worked so hard for over their entire lifetimes to build. 

Another important point. If one does not follow this new law, they could face up to 5 years in prison and a fine!!! What a shame.

Since They Can’t Take Our Weapons…

11 01 2009

The liberals filling the seats of our Congress have been trying for some time to keep law-abiding citizens from acquiring weapons.  They do not seem to be concerned about a person’s need to protect themselves or their family against an attacker or a potentially dangerous situation.  They have implemented restriction after restriction and law after law, but fortunately for us, they have not been able to fully take our gun rights away as much as they would like to due to the 2nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  The 2nd amendment states: 

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

 

May I repeat…”the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  This issue should not even be up for debate.  The problem lies with the liberals in Congress who feel the Constitution is a “living and breathing document” and simply too restrictive for modern-day society.  If they could, they would remove the 2nd amendment, as well as many others, from the Constitution all together.  For years, these liberals have been pushing their anti-gun agenda on the public by making it harder and harder for law-abiding citizens to get them, while the criminals have no problem acquiring weapons because they just buy them on the black market.  Our government is not technically forbidding legal weapon ownership, but they are doing everything they can to make it either very expensive or very inconvenient for a person to own a weapon, much less carry one. 

 

Since the libs have not been able to axe the 2nd amendment, they have decided to focus on the ammunition.  What good is a weapon if you have no ammunition to put in it?  Ever heard of the Ammunition Accountability Act?  This bill will require all uncoded ammunition to be destroyed by July 1, 2011.  They will also implement a .05 cent tax on every round purchased from that point.  There are 18 states that have this legislation pending: AL, AZ, CA, CT, HA, IL, IN, KY, MD, MS, MO, NJ, NY, PA, RI, SC, TN, and WA, and NC is not far behind. (http://www.hunttheus.com/huntingarticles/ammunition-accountabilty-act.html)

 

All of these restrictions do not help “protect” the American citizen from harms, but only keeps them from being able to protect themselves against the government itself.   Consider this, if our government gets too powerful and restrictive, how could the citizens who reject this tyranny possibly become a “well-regulated Militia” and stand up to a power-bloated government if we do not have the weapons needed to back the cause for freedom?  It is legislation like this that makes me fearful of what the liberal democrats have in mind for us once they succeed in removing all weapons from society.  Be vigilant!  The democrats now have almost incontestable power.  They have the presidency and majority power in Congress and it will not be long until they have the Supreme Court as well.  If you live in one of the states trying to enact this legislation, contact your legislator and tell them you do not want them to vote no on the Ammunition Accountability Act!





Government Mandated Censorship Here We Come!

7 01 2009

If anyone naively believes that our beloved Democratic Congress honors and respects our Constitution, they are gravely mistaken.  This accusation is not unfounded.  Amongst the many issues that can be called into question, one stands out above all the rest, and that’s the issue of free speech.  Congress is currently working hard to reinstate an old piece of rejected legislation called The Fairness Doctrine.  The Fairness Doctrine is meant to regulate the expression of controversial issues and public opinion regarding the same.  This legislation would do little more than silence conservative voices on the radio air waves.  This is a frightening concept.  What this means is that a government commission would be responsible for monitoring the radio waves to make sure that what is being broadcast is “honest, equitable, and balanced.”  So who determines what is honest, equitable, and balanced?  Can any one person or group of persons really be qualified to determine what honest, equitable, and balanced is?  This is simply an open door for corrupt, power hungry politicians to silence the voices who oppose them.  If the government empowered gulag does not like Rush Limbaugh, for example, then they would actually have the power to silence him for good.  Is Mr. Limbaugh alone in this threat?  No way!  What about Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levine, and many many more conservative talk radio voices?  I seem to recall a particular part of the Constitution called the Bill of Rights and I think one of those Rights deals with free speech!  Does anyone remember what the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution says? 

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Without this 1st amendment guarantee, we citizens would be subject to a serious violation of our individual liberties.  This encroachment on our freedoms would start small and then build over time in order to avoid the risk of rebellion.  And the news media would be right by their side to implement the “new rules.”  A recent example of how this may take place happened on Monday, January 5th.  NBC banned Ann Coulter from their news station FOR LIFE simply because they didn’t agree with the topic of her new book, “Guilty.”  They just didn’t want anything to do with someone who had a negative view of the president-elect Obama and took the unprecedented step of banning her completely.  Aren’t the news media supposed to be the epitome of fair and balanced?  Aren’t they supposed to represent views from both sides of the political spectrum?  Oh don’t we wish!  This is certainly how it is supposed to be, but these current media mongols have one agenda, and that is to further the cause of the Democrats and force liberalism down the throats of every impressionable person they can.  Their want nothing more than to squash conservative views to ensure that the next generation of voters will be overwhelmingly liberal in their ideals. 

This whole flap with NBC and Ann Coulter is just the beginning of our troubles since our “wonderful” Democratic Congress has already started down this path to censorship.   If our elected representatives cannot even respect our basic fundamental liberties, such as free speech, that have been upheld and fought for with the blood of our ancestors and our children, wake up my friends, we are truly on the road to TYRANNY.

Note:  NBC has since taken back their “ban” on Ann Coulter due to the negative publicity they received from the very same conservative media that they, along with our government representatives, wish to silence.  It won’t be long until they succeed if we are not fighting back.
