Rick Perry: Do We Really Need Another Governor from Texas?
by Real Deal on Sep.08, 2011, under Economy, Elections, GOP, Obama, Politics, Presidency, Taxation
I’m predicting the catcalls from the “mainstream” (read: liberal) media (MSM) before they even start. They are so predictable in their cheap shots and personal attacks, that I know what their next move is even before they do.

Having been right about every social, political, and economic prediction I’ve made for the last 10 years, I will make a new one that I have complete 100% faith in. The media rallying cry against Perry within the next year will be: “Do we really need another Governor from Texas?”
And the answer to that, in short, is yes. But not just because Texas is one of the largest geographic, populous, and economic states in the union, but because of the man that has been running it successfully for over 10 years.
Perry, previously unknown to many outside of Texas, is actually the longest serving governor in Texas history, and has never lost an election. In addition, he has served as chairman of the GOP Governor’s Association.
Governor Perry is a proud patriot and unapologetic conservative who stands for the primary values espoused by the mainstream conservative movement.
But we’re not here to just hype him up with feel-good compliments as the MSM did for Obama, without even knowing anything about him. We are here to cover the details, specifics, and real factors.
Reasons why we need another Governor from Texas:
Conservative Values: Perry supports solid mainstream conservative values that most Americans believe in. This is a center-right nation, despite what the MSM pretends, and people do sympathize with mainstream conservatism. See Ronald Reagan, the best president of the 20th century. Principles like smaller government, lower taxes, and less government intrusion ring happily in the ears of most citizens. Further, Americans don’t elect moderate republicans as President. See Bob Dole, John McCain.
Intellect: Despite his cowboy mannerism, which is charming, he did write a book called “Fed Up” which delineates his disapproval of the Federal Government’s expansion into the huge monster that it is now, robbing Americans of their income, spending other people’s money, and interfering with everyone’s life. This is a sentiment that most Americans agree with, as shown in the TEA Party movement. Contrast that with Obama’s book about his college drug use and communist principles.
Common Sense: Whatever happened to this principle? Well it’s still alive and well with Perry. Any American with common sense realizes that we can’t sustain the Federal expansionist movement, including Perry, who can now vocalize those views with a national audience. We don’t need a genius as president, just someone who sympathizes with what his constituents want, understands how to implement it, and has the judgment to make the right decisions.
Common Bond: The way Perry comes across as an average southern American patriot is appealing to a great many people. The truth is, he’s well above average, but you wouldn’t know it by listening to him. Americans, right and left, are already tired of Obama talking down to us and lecturing us like we’re a bunch of idiot schoolchildren, especially those of us that have much higher IQ’s than Obama, but that’s another story. The citizens of this country like a man that talks to them straight up, as a peer or equal, and that’s what Perry does.
Longevity: Hopefully, after the 2008 election debacle, Americans learned their lesson about electing a half-term, unknown Senator, whose place of birth is still a matter of debate. The fact that nobody really seemed to know where Obama came from should have been a red flag. The fact that he was never in an executive position of any sort should have been a huge concern. Perry is the longest serving governor in Texas history, and has a known public record to run on.
Track Record: Perry’s accomplishments as Texas governor are well documented. He has presided over the state for over 10 years and enacted what the people wanted, despite a partisan legislature. At one point, he even hired a former Democrat opponent from a previous governor’s race to get a bipartisan bill passed, and it worked. His state is one of few that has had any job growth in the last few years, and other economic factors of the state rank in the top half of the union, despite the fact that it’s getting flooded by illegal aliens, which, as a group, bring down all the economic indicators.
Physical Qualifications: Let’s be honest, Obama is the first President of the modern era that doesn’t have a 14 inch part in his hair, but he does have a full head of hair. Perry does have the 14 inch part, plus he’s tall enough, ruggedly handsome, and although 61 he doesn’t look a day over 59. Most men wouldn’t mind looking that good at his age. As aforementioned, the old white haired or balding thing doesn’t work, see Dole or McCain; it just doesn’t work.
Cleanliness: Let’s be even more frank. To get elected as a Democrat, you can be a dirt-bag, and that’s fine. If you want to admit in your biography that you were a heavy drug abuser in college, and that you believe in the principles of communism, that’s fine, see Obama. If you’re a Republican, no such luck. If you had a DUI 30 years ago they will use it against you. If you once used the word “makaka” which means “monkey” to refer to a reporter, they can remove you from the Senate. You basically have to be a saint, which works more in Romney’s favor since he is actually a “latter day saint,” but that’s another story. So far, no skeletons have surfaced for Perry, but if they don’t, the MSM will create some, you can count on that.
Electability: Last but far from least, this is a factor that the GOP tends to overlook, much to their demise. People are not going to elect an old white haired Senator that has been part of the problem for 26 years. But they will definitely give a second look to a governor that’s literally “Fed Up” with the way Washington DC politics have been running the nation. Perry speaks with determination and sincerity, doesn’t mince words, doesn’t backpedal, and doesn’t need a teleprompter. He knows what he’s talking about and is not afraid to say it. In addition, he will certainly carry Texas, which has the 2nd highest amount of electoral votes, and would get Florida were Jeb Bush to officially endorse him, which is completely hypothetical at this point.
Concerns: Democrats love to point out that Perry used to be a Democrat that supported Al Gore. Of course they skip over the fact that Gore used to be more conservative than most Republicans. At the time, Gore preached fiscal responsibility, and he was even (gasp) pro-life! That was before the Clintons lured him to the dark side and he became a flaming liberal. At that point, Perry jumped ship, not only deserting Gore but the entire Democrat Party, realizing there was no hope for it. Another Governor once went through a similar story after spending the first half of his life as a Democrat; his name was Ronald Reagan. Any other character concerns that opponents will point to are likely some kind of slant on the facts or just outright slander.
That’s the full rap on Perry, and those should be good enough reasons why we need another governor from Texas. Let’s end it with a few quotes from Perry himself.
I stand before you today as a disciplined conservative Texan, a committed Republican and a proud American, united with you to restoring our nation and revive the American dream.
In Michigan, a liberal democrat raised taxes and kept their government programs at the same level. And guess what? Their economy continued into the toilet, it continued down.
Let’s stand up. Let’s speak with pride about our morals and our values and redouble our effort to elect more conservative Republicans.
Social Security is a Ponzi scheme; it’s a big lie to tell young people they will get anything out this program they’ve been paying into.
Texas has long been known as the nation’s largest energy producer, but we are equally proud of our distinction as the nation’s leading energy innovator.
Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.
The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we inhabit are not only critical elements in the quality of life we enjoy – they are a reflection of the majesty of our Creator.
Our party cannot be all things to all people. … Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let’s stop trying to curry favor with them.
The Obama administration is an affront to every freedom-loving American,and a threat to every private sector job in this country.
The people who illegally cross into the country are from countries that have very close ties to al Qaeda, whether it’s Yemen or Afghanistan, Pakistan, China. It is an absolute national disgrace.
This administration in Washington that’s in power now clearly believes that government is not only the answer to every need, but it’s the most qualified to make the most central decisions for every American in every area.
Under Obama, our federal tax dollars can now be used to fund abortion all over the world. With the stroke of a pen, abortion essentially became a U.S. foreign export.
We need to stop apologizing for celebrating life. We need to stop apologizing for wanting to protect an individual’s right to build a business.
Our shared conservative values, our belief in the individual is the great hope of our nation.
Maybe it’s time to have some provocative language in this country…
That about sums it up. It is time for some decisive language. It’s time to stop being a wussy about criticizing the useless idiot that is supposedly running the nation. Now, we have someone that’s not afraid to tell us like it is. That, my friend, is why we need another governor from Texas.
Romney Endorsement Withdrawn
by Real Deal on Jun.16, 2011, under Elections, Politics, Presidency
Updated: June 16, 2011
We were willing to forgive Romney of state health care, which his liberal legislature would have passed some form of over his veto, and the same with the Boston tunnel, but caving in to the global warming hoax is going too far.
Real Deal Politics has withdrawn the Romney endorsement at this time, keeping it open for other candidates that desire to run as conservatives. Romney is a fine man and was a solid business man and governor, but we simply can not support his new lean towards liberal tenets, regardless of his motive for supporting them.
Original article below:
The Real Deal continues to endorse Mitt Romney as the best US Presidential candidate currently available. It is not known for sure whether he will run again, but he hasn’t denied it. He will have his hands full with Donald Trump, and we just hope whoever does win doesn’t totally trash the reputation of the others, so they can have some respectability coming out of the primaries.
Reasons to support Romney:
1. Conservatism
2. Electability
3. Loyalty
4. Dogma
5. Purpose

Official George Allen Endorsement
by Real Deal on Feb.15, 2011, under Economy, Elections, Obama, Politics, Senate, Taxation
Real Deal Politics, upon first hearing of George Allen’s intent to run for the US Senate in Virginia (again), hereby wholeheartedly and officially endorses the former Governor, Senator, House Rep, and lifetime public servant.

George Allen is a better man and patriot than he is a politician, but he is also a charismatic leader and excellent manager, who understand the issues and puts the constituency first in all of his decisions.
During my decades living in Virginia, Allen was the best governor by far. I was fortunate enough to meet him during a campaign season, and can say that he is as gracious and sincere as any “politician” that I’ve met.
The truth is that he became so scary to the left wing that they sabotaged his 2006 re-election campaign amid rumors he would run for President in 2008, honing in on one word he said that they didn’t know. Once they figured out what it meant, they used it against him incessantly to label him a racist (far from the truth) and enabling his opponent a narrow and undeserved victory.
Allen had decided to have fun and poke at an annoying cameraman, calling him “macaca,” a word meaning monkey. It was a simple lighthearted jab that the leftist media harped on relentlessly until they convinced enough people it was some kind of racial slur, which it is not and was not intended as such.

You see, the media doesn’t care that Barney Frank was having carnal relations with an executive at Fannie Mae, regardless of gender, while Frank passed laws to relax their lending restrictions, leading up to the real estate collapse of the century.
They also don’t seem to care that Mr. Obama admitted in his own book to spending college in a drug-induced haze and a desire to carry out the communist dreams of his father who abandoned him. In fact, they don’t mind that he can’t prove he’s a US citizen either.
But they did care greatly that Allen used a word they didn’t understand to make fun of one of their own people. Hopefully for everyone’s sake, Senator Allen will refrain from insulting media members again, and using words they’re not familiar with.
Times have past and Allen has apologized for his insult and use of the word, admits responsibility for it, and wants to move on with the important task of repairing the recent damage to America by leftist politicians.
George Allen represents those who want a limited, less intrusive, less expensive federal government, and lower taxes for individuals and corporations. In other words, he desires some fiscal responsibility that will help recreate jobs.
Allen is also in favor of common sense energy policies, excessive spending reductions, and a line-item veto to help remove pork-barrel additions to bills going to the White House. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Keep in mind that George Allen is only one man, and will need people to support him and others like him who want to get this country back on track before it completely derails.
At the link below, watch the interview with Allen and the story of how none other than Ronald Reagan, the greatest president of the 20th century, hand picked him to become involved in organized politics. We could use someone in the Reagan mold right about now.

Double Standard Vision
by Real Deal on Dec.31, 2010, under Communism, Economy, Elections, Obama, Politics, Presidency
The double standard within the media continues to go on incessantly. Democrats get a free pass for just about any behavior, while Republicans had better be squeaky clean, or else their career and reputation will be destroyed by the media.
October Surprise, year 2000, the media made a huge deal about GW Bush getting a DUI 20 years beforehand. Fortunately most people realized its insignificance and irrelevance although the media tried to make it the most pressing issue of the time.
I argued with some idiot online who said the DUI was proof of alcoholism and that alcoholics could relapse at any time, making Bush an unstable persona. Anyone who has ever had 2 drinks in an hour then drove should know they were just as eligible for a DUI as Bush.
Understandably, realizing his career was on the line, Bush decided to quit drinking and as far as anyone knows, never took a drink after that. This was commendable, and sobriety is a quality we should all look for in the leader of the free world.
Fast forward to October 2008. No surprises, at least not for the media. Several major but non-”mainstream” media personalities revealed that not only was Barack Obama a foreign national, but also a communist and a drug addict.
In fact, Obama himself corroborated this information in his own book, “Dreams of My Father” written beforehand, that he was in a “drug induced haze” throughout most of college.
He also went into detail about his communist tenets inherited from his Arab Muslim father, who abandoned him, leaving him to his communist mother, who also later abandoned him. No wonder he was on drugs.
But the “mainstream” media failed to report on any of this, deciding for the public that this didn’t matter. After all, a two-year drug induced haze is less of a character flaw than a DUI, right?
No, this information wasn’t important to them, because he was a democrat, and an extreme leftist, raging radical liberal democrat, at that. The media was not about to jeopardize his chances at a fraudulent presidency.
So here we are, 2 years later, Americans wondering why they had no idea what an extremist, ideological, unstable moron their president was, before he was elected. All they heard from the media was how smart Obama was.
The economy continues to go down the drain, and the only economic indicators on the rise are unemployment and buyer’s remorse.
We can chalk this one up to the double standard. The media failed to do its job of reporting the truth, and reeled in the people, hook line and sinker, into the biggest scam in American election history.
Thanks, “mainstream media.”
20% Minority Running the Nation
by Real Deal on Nov.22, 2010, under Communism, Elections, Obama, Politics, Socialism
How is that possible? A recent Gallup poll, Conservatives Maintain Edge as Top Ideological Group, confirmed that while 42% of Americans identify as conservatives, only 20% call themselves liberal. In addition, another study found that only 23% of voters are registered as Democrat.
If that is true, then how did we end up with liberal democrats running our nation? Tough question indeed. Why would people that are not liberal or democrat, vote for liberal democrats?
The answer is that the liberal democrats have been controlling the nation at every level of government, and the majority of the media, for several decades.
But how did they get into the government in the first place? The elected officials got into office by running as moderates, a label which 36% of Americans will identify themselves with, then govern, or rule, as liberals.
The reason that the average American doesn’t know that the elected officials are extreme leftist/ socialists before electing them is that the media covers for them. The media, controlled by about 90% liberal democrats, controls public opinion, and willingly cover up the extreme socialism of the democrat party candidates.
Most people don’t have the time or the desire to do their own research and find out the truth behind their candidates before voting for them. Instead, they hear a little news from the socialist media and assume what they’re saying is true.
For example, most people believed Obama was some kind of moderate populist that wanted to help out the middle and lower class. The truth that he is actually a hard core communist was revealed by this blog, Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, and others before the election.
But with the majority of Americans preoccupied with American Idol, sports, and stupid entertainment news, they weren’t listening to those trying to warn them about the truth: that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid were the triad of socialism that would plunge the country into unseen depths.
What has happened since the elections of 2008? The country is in a downward spiral, with government spending, unemployment, bankruptcy, foreclosure, and general loss of wealth spiraling out of control.
As covered elsewhere in this blog, leftists infiltrated the public schools and media several decades ago, in order to sway public opinion towards their extremist viewpoints. How else can you explain 90% of either institution identifying themselves as liberal democrats?
The fact is that the majority of the public was brainwashed since they entered the public school system at the age of five. Why are most people conservative or moderate now then? Because most people grew up and realized the socialist ideology they were brainwashed with in school was all bullshit.
Still, the mass media still has a huge say in public opinion. Did you hear anyone at ABC, NBC, CBS, or CNN news outlets ever say anything remotely negative about Obama before the election? The answer is no. You probably heard a lot of negativity about Mccain though didn’t you? How about anything positive about Mccain, after the primary?
So, according to the mass media, Obama was a perfect human and Mccain was very flawed. The reality however, is that while both men were flawed, one was a veteran POW and patriot, and the other a communist brainwashed since birth by two communist parents.
That’s the truth of the matter, and given that I’d take the aging POW any day, as would by far the majority of Americans. But alas, again, the media brainwashed people into thinking that Obama was a normal moderate, and combine that with the know-nothing brainwashed teenagers fresh out of high school, ready to make Obama their socialist messiah, and it was a tall order to defeat their savior.
Fast forward to today, when half of Obama’s voters now have buyer’s remorse, with his socialist policies out of control, and people finally realize they’ve been duped. They took away many of his allies on Congress. But is it too late?
It’s not too late. Educate yourself. Read this blog. Listen to some conservative newspeople. You want to hear moderate news? There is no such thing. The mass media are all hard core leftists. Listen to them if you like, but you’re just getting lied to. If not, they would have told you the truth about Obama before we found our country in the toilet.
Obama: The Messiah of Generation ME
by Real Deal on Aug.05, 2010, under Communism, Education, Elections, Obama, Politics, Presidency, Socialism, Taxation
In many ways, Obama represents the sum product of the generation primarily responsible for electing him. He is ignorant yet arrogant, narcissistic, selfish, idiotic, delusional, and has an unreasonable sense of entitlement. In other words, he is highly representative of the youngest voting generation.
From a CNN exit poll: “Voters in the 18 to 24 age group broke 68 percent for Obama to 30 percent for John McCain, according to the exit polling. Those in the 25 to 29 age bracket went 69 percent to 29 percent in Obama’s favor…” That would be Generation ME.
Generation ME consists of those older boys and girls of ages between 18 and 40, the group forming the majority of Obama voters. It would be faulty refer to them as young men and women, since those nouns imply some kind of maturity or adulthood. Rather, the majority of them are overgrown children that behave and think like adolescents.
They are surprisingly arrogant considering their ignorance, and they are also selfish, idiotic, delusional, and brainwashed. They have an unbelievable sense of entitlement. Everything should be given to them just as they want it, regardless of where it comes from or how much other people toiled for it.
(To be fair, not all of them are overgrown children. I certainly know many that are fine young men and women, responsible adults, and good Americans. But these are in the minority, and many are embarrassed of their own generation.)
There are certainly other names we could issue to this generation, but “ME” seems to be the simplest word that sums up so many of their characteristics. Look at all the products that are oriented towards this generation: Imac, Ipod, Ipad, Iphone, Youtube, Myspace. The list goes on. Everything is about ME.
Who is responsible for Generation ME? How did we get here? It’s a long story but you have to look at the big picture. Here’s the short version:
It all started with the Lost Generation that elected President Franklin Roosevelt. FDR was the father of modern socialism in the US. He brought about Social Security and other entitlement programs, and raised top rate taxes to levels unheard of.
Perhaps his greatest legacy was ridding the US of hundreds of thousands of patriots from the Greatest Generation by sending them off to die overseas, in order to save nations of apathetic socialist idiots that didn’t want to even make an effort to save themselves from socialist dictator Hitler (look it up, NAZI = National Socialist Party; Hitler was a man of the left.)
With a large volume of patriots dead and gone, FDR was free to usher in a new era of socialism. In fact, he used their loss as the very excuse for Social Security. There simply weren’t enough young adults around to care for the old anymore, so it was determined the government would care for them.
It did make some sense as a short term solution, considering the government was responsible for sending children of the elderly off to die. However, the program would never go away, and permanent socialistic government care for the elderly replaced the traditional family care that existed in all previous generations. The dead of the Greatest Generation were rolling over in their graves already.
With higher taxes, most of the working class couldn’t afford to take care of extra family members anyway, so the next generation made no efforts to diminish Social Security or taxes. Instead, Baby Boomers stood idly by watching the Socialist Security program expand and taxes go up.
In the meantime, the public schools were being stocked with leftists of all sorts: liberals, communists, socialists, and atheists. These were the people that harbored deep resentment for a capitalist society, either because they couldn’t function in it, didn’t like its morals, or otherwise didn’t want any part of it.
Keep in mind that many of these were counterculture leftists that spent most of the 60s and 70s doing drugs and thus had no practical skills in a capitalist society. Many of them went into journalism as well, building a highly effective leftist propaganda machine on that end. They did, after all, know how to talk.
Either way, much of this collection of misfit leftists landed in public schools and universities. Those who couldn’t do, taught. And what they taught, besides reading, writing and arithmetic, was their leftist principles, including revisionist history.
Those who reported spent most of their time bashing Nixon, Reagan and Bush. Their hero was President Carter, the worst ever US president until Obama*. (* Personally I do not consider Obama to be a valid president, having been fraudulently elected and unable to prove his citizenship, but I’m trying to keep on point here.)
While most responsible Baby Boomer parents were working all day and making money to save for college tuition, their children were in school getting brainwashed by these irresponsible but principled leftists. Thanks to their parents’ hard work, they could receive further brainwashing in college. Thus was born Generation X.
X is a surprisingly accurate title, since it is a heavily divided generation. Think of the X in terms of its two halves.
The first slash in the X represents many of them that grew up to become responsible adults, and shrugged off their communist teachings once they realized how the real world operates. That is, one must contribute to society by participating in some form of business, whether as an employee, manager, owner, or night shift worker, in order to achieve some kind of wages.
The backslash in the X represents those that never shook their leftist brainwashing, and adhere to it to this day. They refuse to think for themselves, and instead believe only what their school teachers and communist media tell them. They were taught that Ronald Reagan was an evil tyrant that tried to destroy the US by bringing down the Soviet Union and lowering taxes, and they believed it.
While the right split of Gen X worked their butts off to make a paycheck, many had little time to pay attention to the brainwashing their kids were receiving, much less get involved politically. They left it to the public schools and the TV to raise their kids while they toiled all day to give their kids everything they wanted, including things they never dreamed of having when they were young.
All this conspired to give Generation ME a deep sense of entitlement. At school they learned that everyone should have according to his need, taking from those according to their means. Then they came home and their parents gave them everything they needed and more, for nothing. It was the ultimate reassurance that what they were being taught by the schools and the TV was correct.
In the meantime, the left split of Gen X was busy teaching, reporting, doing drugs, collecting welfare, and irresponsibly raising families of complete leftist losers, whose primary desire is to bring down the capitalist system and implement their Marxist utopia.
Thus Generation ME is comprised of children of the left split X communists and many socialists from the right split X parents that let the schools and media raise their children. Collectively, this is the most left leaning generation in the history of the US, even though many came from conservative families.
If you tell them how communism killed millions of people under Stalin, Lenin, and the various Asian leaders, they will tell you unequivocally that it wasn’t really communism, and was corrupted by the bad men in charge. With the right people in charge (Obama) it will work. Redistribute wealth and everyone will be happy. Let government run everything and everything will run great.
This is what they believe. This is the scariest generation that you can imagine living on US soil. They faithfully believe in socialism and communism as they were taught, and they fully intend to implement it during their time.
They are not adults, and they are not Americans. They are spoiled brats that believe that America is an evil country that has been run by rich greedy capitalists at the expense of the poor. They do not appreciate the concept that business owners are the people creating jobs in the US. They would rather have the government provide jobs.
Gen ME was raised to believe there is no God; that Government is the only higher power. Government should provide everything to everyone from cradle to grave: jobs, income, welfare, medical care, transportation, utilities, and whatever else you can think of. They don’t care where it comes from.
All wealth should first be given to the Almighty Government, which can then decide how and when to redistribute or squander it. Government should run people’s lives.
This is what they really believe. To paint a scarier picture, consider that many of them have still not achieved voting age. This problem will not go away anytime soon.
If you think going to the voting booth to push R buttons in November will solve the problem, consider that 2 more years of Generation Me will be in there pressing D buttons in hopes they won’t need a job.
They still believe that Obama will provide everything they need, because he’s the right guy in charge. Stalin was the wrong guy. Hitler was the wrong guy. Obama is the right guy. Communism will work under him, because he’s a good guy.
They are delusional enough to think Obama cares about them as well. But caring isn’t part of the communist plan. The plan is for the ruling class to take wealth from the backs of the working class, and distribute it as they see fit, after keeping most of it. It’s that simple.
Generation ME: selfish, ignorant, arrogant, irrational, delusional, and narcissistic.
Obama is their ideal messiah.
Massive Upset in Massachusetts
by Real Deal on Jan.19, 2010, under Communism, Economy, Elections, Politics, Presidency, Socialism, Taxation
GOP Takes Ted Kennedy’s Senate Seat
Republican Scott Brown has just defeated Massachusetts state Attorney General Martha Coakley in the race for the vacant US Senate seat left by Ted Kennedy. In an upset of monumental proportions, Brown is the first Republican to win a Senate seat in the heavily Democratic state in 30 years.
Democrats outnumber Republicans 3-to-1 in the state — 37 percent of registered voters are Democrats, 12 percent are Republicans and 51 percent are unaffiliated. Obama won the state by 26 percentage points in the 2008 presidential election, which gives you a clue how the “unaffiliated” usually vote.
Just one month ago, Brown trailed in the polls by 30 points, which he cut in half to 15 points two weeks ago, indicating that he had “a steep hill to climb.” Then, several days before the election, he suddenly had a slim lead in the polls.
Today, in what is being called “the Scott heard around the world,” Brown has won the Senate seat with 53% of the vote to his opponent’s 46%.
Five years ago the late Ted Kennedy successfully lobbied for a bill that enabled the state to call for a special election if a US Senate seat in Massachusetts was abandoned, in case fellow senator John Kerry won the presidential election.
At the time, Republican Mitt Romney was the governor of Mass., and would have certainly appointed a senator from the GOP, as was his right to do so as a special appointment. Needless to say, Kerry did not win and the law was unnecessary.
Ironically, the law came back to haunt Kennedy in his last days. Realizing his terminal cancer, he pled last year for the state to revert the law to call for a governor’s appointment, since the governor is now of the Democrat party.
Had old Ted left it alone to begin with, the special election would have never happened, and his seat would almost certainly have been given to a Democrat of his approval.
Democrats are now scrambling to point fingers and trivialize the election, but this is a state that has voted solid blue for decades in all national elections, for president and congress. All of the state’s other congressional representatives are Democrats, as they have been for decades.
First of all, Coakley ran a poor campaign. She had an air of arrogance, refusing to stand outside Fenway stadium and shake hands because it was “too cold,” misspelling her state’s name in a campaign ad, and assuming she would win just because she’s a Democrat in perhaps the most Democratic state. She also made fun of Scott Brown’s truck, and called Curt Schilling a Yankees fan.
Since their coup in 2008, the Democrats have lost major elections for governor positions in Virginia and New Jersey, both of which have gone blue in recent elections. Their only victory since then was a House position in New York’s heavily Democratic and liberal 23rd district.
In that race, liberal Republican candidate Scozzafava, who agreed to support the Democratic agenda in Congress, failed to gain GOP support for obvious reasons. Doug Hoffman entered the race as a third party conservative, losing by only 2% of the vote to Democrat Bill Owens. Had the RINO candidate withdrawn as she should have, instead of taking 5% of the vote, Hoffman would have won.
But Democrat Nanny State Pelosi recognized that as a huge victory, while ignoring the reality that the Democrats were losing much larger elections in other states.
If a Republican can win a US Senate seat in Massachusetts, he can win anywhere. If the Democrats don’t change their tune soon, they will continue to lose major elections.
Democrats may lose as many seats as they lost in 1994, when the arrogance of the Clinton administration and his congress caused over 50 congressional seats to change parties.
If you will recall, Newt Gingrich took the nation back and put us on the right track. It was after that Republican revolution that congress introduced welfare reform, huge spending cuts, and balanced the federal budget.
Keep in mind that the Clinton administration and his congress were not nearly as arrogant, condescending, and defiant as the current administration, although Hillary did also want to pass universal health care.
The arrogance today is off the charts, along with the blatant lies. The “transparent government” hasn’t happened, spending hasn’t decreased, but rather increased by $1 trillion in Obama’s first year, and universal health care promises only a larger federal budget.
The promise of tax cuts for all wasn’t kept either, but a tax hike in the form of letting Bush tax cuts expire, is definitely on the board.
They promised more jobs, but despite major increases in spending and pork in the form of the Stimulus Bill, we only have increased unemployment.
The Democrats and media have ignored repeated calls directly by the people in the form of Tea Parties and other peaceful rallies, and polls showing that they are in disagreement with the people.
If 58% of the people are against the health care plan, and only 37% are in favor of it, then why do they continue to try to push it through? Arrogance.
Obama’s approval numbers continue to go down, now below 50%, and Congress can’t even muster half of that. Yet they continue, defiantly on their socialist course, spitting in the face of the American people.
Democrats have only themselves to blame. You reap what you sow. The Americans are now rebelling against the government. We don’t want more socialized health care, more taxes, and more spending.
The people are speaking. If the government still doesn’t hear us now, they surely will in November.
Federal Government Spending Faster than Speed of Light
by Real Deal on Dec.08, 2009, under Economy, Elections, Govt Spending, Politics, Presidency, Taxation
Updated: September 2011
In light of continued uninhibited and reckless federal spending by the Obama administration, this page continues to be updated.
The actual “budget” for this year is $3,800,000,000,000, but for the sake of this discussion we will round up to an even $4 trillion. We feel confident that those in the White House and Congress will find a way to spend another $200 billion even if it is not officially designated yet.
In fact, Obama refuses to submit budgets to Congress and figures they will just write him another blank check like they did when raising the debt ceiling earlier this year. The graphic at the top of this page sums it up.
First, here’s what the government spends per average working days and hours of government employees, assuming they actually work their full hours, which they don’t. Here are the statistics:
Total this year $4,000,000,000,000 4 TRILLION!! Per month $333,333,333,333 $300 Billion! Per work day $20,000,000,000 20 Billion! Per work hour $2,500,000,000 2.5 Billion! Per work minute $41,666,667 41 Million Per work second $694,444 2/3 of a Million!
It has been proven, by the way, that light can not travel faster than $100,000 per second… Einstein’s equation.
Just to be fair, let’s see what it looks like for a 365/7/24 work scenario.
Per actual day $10,958,904,110 $11 billion! Per actual hour $456,621,005 450 million Per actual minute $7,610,350 7 million Per actual second $126,839 more than US avg salary
As an added bonus, what is the federal government spending per person?
Per person $13,072 Population 306 million Per taxpayer $74,074 Approx 54 million liable
Now, before you get on our case about these figures, there were about 90 million individual tax filers last year, and it is estimated that 40% of them have zero tax liability. So per actual taxpayer, they are spending $74,000 per year.
This raises another question entirely. You then realize that those actually paying taxes are averaging $74k in their donations to the US government, while the rest pay nothing.
Perhaps if everyone paid taxes, i.e. fair tax or flat sales tax, this scenario would be a little more justified for everyone.
Another question might be: WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GETTING FOR THE $13,000 THEY’RE SPENDING ON EACH PERSON? Personally I’m not getting anything back…
Previous versions of 2008 and prio:
Now someone sent me the following today, and I checked out the math, it works. However, given that the federal government does not work 365/7/24 (trust me I’ve worked in govt for a while), let’s calculate how much only during working days/hours. The spending rate is astronomical. This doesn’t even count state/local govt…
Per Year $3,100,000,000,000
Per Working Day $15,500,000,000
Per Work Hour $1,937,500,000
Per Work Minute $32,291,667
Per Work Second $538,194
Half a million per second? I’m not sure but I don’t think light can move that fast. Hillary, Obama, and Mccain think our taxes aren’t high enough. OK well. Agree to disagree.
Original email:
Know what the federal Government spends:
per second? A: $ 98,300
per minute? A: $ 5,898,021
per hour? A: $ 353,881,279
per day? A: $ 8,493,150,685
per year . . . $ 3,100,000,000,000 (George Bush’s 3 Trillion!!)
(Anyone complete their Federal Form 1040 return yet?)
Now we’ve got Obama’s 4 trillion! So you thought democrats would spend less? LOL
Ft Hood: Taking Responsibility for the Latest Terrorist Attack
by Real Deal on Nov.12, 2009, under Communism, Elections, Law, Politics, Terrorism
Update: Attack # 18 came on December 25, 2009 as a Nigerian muslim attempted to ignite explosives on an airliner in Detroit, wishing everyone a Christmas as miserable as he is. Nobody was injured except himself.
Another radical muslim has just commited yet another terrorist act on our own US soil. Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an admitted muslim, conducted his own jihad at the Fort Hood US Army base in Texas, leaving 13 dead and 29 others wounded, in the largest US terrorist attack since 2001.
Add this to the list of other individual radical muslim jihads since 9/11/2001:
· Muslim soldier who murdered his officers at US Army base in Kuwait in 2003 killing two
· Radical muslim imam has a shoot out with feds in Detroit last month and dies, fortunately
· Muslim fanatic attacked an Arkansas recruiting station in June of this year killing one
· New York muslim cable TV network owner beheads his wife in Feburary this year
· Muslim father ran over his own daughter in Arizona for being “too westernized” she lived
· 5 muslims arrested in 2007 for plot to kill Army members at Fort Dix NJ (3 were illegal aliens)
· Bosnian muslim in 2007 shoots up the Trolley Square in Utah leaving 5 dead, 4 wounded
· Muslim stole a car in Minneapolis and rammed other drivers in the name of Allah
· Muslim ran over people in San Francisco 2006 with his SUV, telling police he was a terrorist
· Muslim goes on a shooting rampage at Jewish community center in Seattle 2006
· Muslim student runs over students with SUV at a NC campus in 2006 to protest Iraq war
· Muslim student in OK blew himself up with a backpack bomb in 2005 outside of football stadium
· Egyptian muslim opened fire at LAX killing 2 and wounding 4 in 2002
· Saudi muslim student in Houston decapitated his Jewish “friend” in 2003
· Two gay muslims terrorize the entire national capital area in 2002, taking pot shots from the back of a car, known as the infamous “DC snipers” 13 total dead including previous shootings
· Muslim opened fire at New Orleans airport ticket counter in 2002, killing 1
That is a total of 17 terrorist attacks since 9/11 that I know of. There are perhaps others that the media successfully covered up, as they are very good at. Did you have any idea the count was that high?
The death toll is now 38, with dozens more injured, and untold millions terrorized.
If you notice, there is one thing all these attacks have in common: they were all conducted by muslims against unsuspecting people, in a cowardly manner. Another thing they have in common is that the government and media refuse to call them terrorist attacks.
Guns are not at fault here. Note in the list of above terrorist attacks, the diversity of weapons: guns, knives, bombs, and cars. A lot of people have cars, should we outlaw them?
Soldiers reported that Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar!” while shooting at dozens of unarmed employees. This phrase, which means “Allah is great,” is always repeated by Islamo-fascist terrorists. It has something to do with their mental self-justification for doing something they know is a terrible crime.
Clearly, Hasan and his radical Islamic ideology are at fault, but also complicit in this act is political correctness, the same which has already compromised free speech, and has now compromised our own military, and with it our national security.
The signs of trouble were visible early in his career. In Army medical school, students and faculty both knew that Hasan had problems. In fact, one even told him so. “I told him, `There’s something wrong with you,’” said Osman Danquah, co-founder of the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen. “I didn’t get the feeling he was talking for himself, but something just didn’t seem right.”
His fellow students complained to the faculty about Hasan’s “anti-American propaganda,” but said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim student kept officers from filing a formal written complaint. You heard it right. Anti-American propaganda, and yet he stayed in the US army because of political correctness.
Dr. Finnel, who studied with him at medical school, said Hasan made a presentation that justified suicide bombing, spewed out anti-American propaganda, and argued that the war on terror was a war against Islam. Finnel and another student complained about him, but no formal complaint was filed.
Hasan received a poor performance evaluation, and had some problems that required counseling and additional supervision. Some of the doctors even reported that he had mental health problems. Despite all of this, they graduated him and promoted him to Major upon his graduation from the medical center.
But the story goes back to his youth, when Hasan attended a mosque in Falls Church that has been linked to 9/11 terrorists and al-Qaeda. The former imam of such mosque is a radical muslim known to be connected to al-Qaeda, named Anwar al-Awlaki, was in fact the leader of that temple while Hasan attended.
Awlaki praised the recent actions of Hasan:
“Nidal Hassan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people,” wrote al-Aulaqi, who now lives in Yemen since leaving the U.S. in 2002. “This is a contradiction that many Muslims brush aside and just pretend that it doesn’t exist. Any decent Muslim cannot live, understanding properly his duties towards his Creator and his fellow Muslims, and yet serve as a US soldier.”
I will agree with Awlaki on one point, that a muslim can not properly serve Islam and serve as a US soldier. I would strike the word “decent” and replace with “devout.”
During his time at Ft Hood, Hassan, who was a psychiatrist, was assigned to counseling soldiers returning home from war. So we had a psychotic doctor counseling other soldiers. That’s efficient. In this capacity, he told them to question whether their sacrifices in fighting the war were worth it, and argued with them about the nature of the war.
Hasan also warned a room full of senior Army physicians in early 2008, that to avoid adverse events, the military should allow muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars against other muslims.
Hasan was supposed to be making a presentation on a medical topic, but instead lectured them on Islam, suicide bombers, and threats the military could encounter from muslims conflicted about fighting in muslim countries. “It’s getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims,” he said in the presentation.
He was right that there would be problems, but apparently nobody knew he was talking about himself. I would have had one question for him: Why the hell are you still in the Army if you so vehemently disagree with everything they do?
The last bullet point on one page reads simply: “We love death more then (sic) you love life!” Ok, in the future I would advise these type of muslims to just kill themselves if they love death. Those of us that are normal people, don’t like it.
Under the “Conclusions” page, Hasan wrote that “Fighting to establish an Islamic State to please God, even by force, is condoned by the Islam,” and that “Muslim Soldiers should not serve in any capacity that renders them at risk to hurting/killing believers unjustly — will vary!”
The final page, labeled “Recommendation,” contained only one suggestion:
“Department of Defense should allow Muslims [sic] Soldiers the option of being released as ‘Conscientious objectors’ to increase troop morale and decrease adverse events.”
So this is the gratuity he shows the Army for sending him to medical school for free, paying him to be a subpar employee that constantly sought to undermine their mission and beliefs. A room full of dead soldiers.
On top of all of this, US Intelligence knew long before the attack, that Hasan has been in contact with an al-Qaeda sympathizer. About that term, in my book if you are a terrorist sympathizer, then you are a terrorist suspect. I mean, do we really have to assume you’re NOT going to act on your beliefs?
Hasan also showed some final typical warning signs, giving away belongings to others, saying good bye to friends and neighbors, and attending a local strip club named Starz several times in his final weeks before the attack. He assumed that he would end up dying in the attack, which he should have.
Hasan had also been in contact in 2008 with the same radical cleric named Awlaki referenced above, and federal authorities knew it. What did they do about it? Apparently, nothing. My guess is they were concerned about being accused of “profiling.”
Profiling is a term that in the past was used to describe a process by which law enforcement was doing their job correctly by singling out various individuals for surveillance who fit the profile of a criminal or terrorist. Now, it is a derogatory term and considered racist by the liberal media and others who collectively comprise the politically correct thought police.
In short, a process that used to protect our people by preventing crimes by would-be criminals, or at least bringing them to justice, is now itself a crime. That makes a lot of sense.
This “political correctness” movement is a thought control device used by communists, to not let people speak truths that they don’t want to hear. It has successfully infected all levels of our society, law enforcement, and now even the military.
But once the military and federal intelligence agencies are afraid to report the truth about someone who is obviously an Islamo-fascist wacko, what line of defense do we have against them? Who do we appeal to when they won’t do their job of eradicating extremists from their own ranks?
I would appeal to the American people as a whole. Stop complying with the communist thought police. Speak out about things you know are wrong. Don’t accept the dereliction of duty by federal employees. Don’t tolerate elected officials who try to sweep this under the rug or pretend it’s not a problem.
When we have a list of 17 terrorist attacks with 38 dead, and over 50 wounded, and millions terrorized, then it is definitely a problem.
We the people have a unique ability that is not available in most countries. That is, we can fire our elected public officials when we don’t agree with their policies (as long as we don’t let Acorn and other communist organizations undermine our vote with fraudulent election practices.)
Stop voting for that old windbag just because he or she brings pork into your state or district. If you’re a taxpayer, you’re paying for that pork anyway. Is it really worth sacrificing your own safety and that of your friends and neighbors?
Terrorism in this country is unacceptable. It may be acceptable in other countries, but not mine. I’m tired of living in my realistic fear that there is a radical muslim just around the corner, who may just be planning a terrorist attack.
Why do we have to live like this? We DON’T have to. We need to stand up for our rights to not be terrorized. We know who these people are. We know what mosques preach this kind of hatred. We need our law enforcement officials to protect us. Don’t accept anything less.
We can’t continue to stick our heads in the sand and pretend we don’t know what the problem is. The matter needs to be discussed and resolved. Radical muslims can not be allowed to exist in our society. I don’t care what we do with them, just get rid of them. Are you listening Congress?
