Obama the Magnificent the Grand Illusionist!

       Never before in american history have we had such a president.  I sat in awe during this past election cycle as statistics about our economy surfaced. The republicans saw an opening as the statistics were atrocious. They jumped back into an old play book and rightfully asked the american people "Are you better off now than you were four years ago".  People were outraged at the statistics and the republicans started rising in the polls. Quickly Democratic and media specialist went into action declaring "Forget those statistics, America is better off", "We are in a much better position for a great future", "This is a sign our policies are working" and  "Lets go Forward". The liberal friendly media ran with and every democrat ran with it. The results with over 23 million people out of work, 47 Million on Food Stamps, Disability Claims rapidly growing, Unemployment maintaining rediculous levels, 70% of americans living pay check to pay check, gas prices doubled and nearly every other stat moving in a declining position, the people deemed yes things must be better. Over half of the nation agressively, as though their very souls depended on it, declared yes things are better "vote for him"

     The illusion of job growth. I will never understand how an average citizen can be told "We created 150,000 jobs, the new unemployment claims are 350,000 things are really getting good.   I am not really sure but the math I learned says we are 200,000 jobs in the wrong direction. Then we have another issue where people run out of benefits and fall out of the job market.  That was hard to disguise so they re-work the formula. Hmmm, Now I see, they called a numer of households and asked how many  people are in the home that works, how many works part time, How many even worked one hour, how many are self employeed, how many have started home businesses and come up with a larger numer of job growth. No way to confirm the numbers based off of questions to manipulate the unemployment rate. So the rate comes down slightly and we are told things are getting better and his policies are working.  Abracadabra or Hocus Pocus?  NO, just Political Nonsense.

       The grand illusion isnt amazing, its manipulation of the human spirit. People want to succeed  and feel secure..  He plays on this to a huge success.  I encourage people to look at reality, what are the facts. Yes Facts are reality, even though perception usually dictates political positions. Look at our constitution, the majority of people dont want it changed. We live in a society of capitalism not socialism. The President scoffs at the accusation of being a socialists when his theories and beliefs say otherwise. Even news sources in Russia state that he is doing a masterful job of implementing communism here and other countries admire how he is implementing socilaism. But That all dissappears when he declares I just want a level playing field for everyone. Even though everyone do not take the same risks, they dont make the same investments or pursue the same education, but they want a piece of the same pie.

       I am also amazed at his ability get his supporters to berate anyone who disagrees with his policies. Look at news comments or go to facebook and find a active republican congressman or senator and look at the vile, rude comments. When did dignity and human decency disappear. Now that is magic...  a republican senator or candidate can make a poor staement on rape or abortion and they are crucified. A democrat senator calls for blood in regards to thr right to work vote in Michigan. Yes calling for violence and its not a big deal. Human values are now onesided. Thats magic indeed. So is he Obama the Magnificent? No, not at all. But he has magnificently manipulated public perception.

Mandate for the President?... Or Freedom for the People?

      First of all lets breakdown what a "Mandate" is. It is an Order or Command. For the President to say "you will buy insurance" or "you will pay more taxes no matter what you want" is a mandate to the people. We receive many mandates from the government, many good and some are imposing on our rights. Then there is a mandate to the president from the people.  He likes to say "the people gave me a mandate to raise taxes". He also says "the people gave me a mandate to pursue my agenda". The  modern term mandate has been expanded to include the people electing or demanding a candidate to purse a position or cause.

    Did the president receive a mandate to raise taxes? Did he receive a mandate to punish the rich? Did he receive a mandate to pursue his socialist  agenda? Did he receive a mandate to enforce Obama Care?  No! He did not. He was re-elected off of his promise he would compromise and work in a bipartisan manner to accomplish whats best for the american people. Congress was held in place to balance power. The senate is democratically led, but to tight to be fillibuster proof. There was a MANDATE set from the american people and it is was for the government to quit playing partisan politics from the president down and work together for the best interest of the american people.  Thats the mandate set with this last election.

       Lets look at a couple of current mandates from the people to washington. The majority of americans say "Tax cuts must be coupled with cutting spending". There are also national polls that show 65% of the people want "across the board spending cuts". Yet the President says "No, the people want the rich to pay more". Lets look at what he feels is a mandate. First he along with the media have convinced the average americans the "Rich" should pay their fair share.  What should be considered are how many of the people polled on taxing the rich fall into the 47% category of people who pay "NO TAX". Is it right or even decent for someone who not only pays no tax but often receives government refunds of several thousands of dollars that they never paid in, to demand that anyone else pay more taxes.  

    The people mandated that the government improve our economic position. They also mandated more jobs. We were promised by the President that he would compromise with the republicans for the best outcome for the american people. Yet we see the same Obama who told John McCain after the last election when he broke the same promise"John the election is over", taking the same posture, if not even on a harder line.

Unions or Right to Work.

     Unions certainly had a place in this country... Workers rights were horrendous. This was prevalent during the industrial revolution. At that time industries popped up shoving in as many workers as possible demanding hard work and crazy hours. In those times a family may run a farm. On that farm the entire family would have jobs... Kids may be up up at the break of dawn working and wouldnt attend school at times, like during harvest season for an example..  This same type of expectations fed in to the manufacturing sector. For new industries safety wasnt  addressed yet. This sometimes caused dangerous environments and sometimes put people in jeapordy of environmental illnesses. This along with unrealistic labor demands of all ages were a huge problem.

      Anyone who has had a business knows it takes a while to become profitable.. It was no difference then.  Many businesses faltered as profits grew..  Part in greed, part in fear, they looked for cheap labor. The greedy wanted more in their own pockets and the others felt they had to follow suit to compete. Unions came about in the mid 1800's fighting for workers rights.Through the 1900's most of these issues were addressed. Now we find that the unions are overly demanding making huge monies for themselves and taking their workers to unrealistic wages and benefits pushing many jobs over seas.

  The Right to Work?  You would think that would be part of living in a free country. But it isnt. The Unions have to get their cuts. They often incite worker hosilities and violence. Such as we are seeing now in Michigan. The right to work in many states came about in 1935 with the Wagner act. Now our President is insinuating a lack of intelligence for those who want the right to work.  He is aggresively supporting the unions in Michigan(after all the gave him millions of Dollars).

     Other signs the unions have out lived their purpose are in the news everyday.  In NY right after the Storm Sandy hit  utility crews picketed out of state utility workers leaving their neighbors and families without power for days. They demanded no non-union workers. Also clerks in California shut down the piers with the demand only union workers be hired.. This cost various americans $1 billion a day... Putting many individuals pay on hold, truckers who drove across country basically denied work.. How does this effect families and even the ability to afford Christmas for their kids.. Time to get rid of unions.. There are plenty of lawyers out there for when our rights are violated.

Separation of Church and State?

        In the United States we have a separation of Church and State in our constitution. Or do we? We are promised that we have a freedom to practice our religion  and that it will not be infringed upon. Lets look at that first. We are not allowed to have outward displays of our religion in many places today. Many businesses require their employees to say "Happy Holiday" instead of "Merry Christmas". No prayer in school. A teacher cant lead a group of Christians in prayer, Yesterday a governor was publically admonished for promoting a faith rally for other christians. Christians are attacked by many secular groups constantly and anytime they get a chance.  I see that as our rights are infringed upon.

        The Separation of Church and State:  Now this is not how most people consider  it. This is not a constitutional right nor was it intended to be.. This was from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote in reply to a concern by a church that the government would take over that church.. He wrote back that there was a separation in church and state. Otherwise the government was not and did not intend on getting into the business of running a church. Many Secular groups use this to suit their needs and even claim its constitutional. They use the NLP. If you say it enough people will believe it. But that does not make it so.

Gun Control or Society Mr. Costas?

     Why do we have a right to "Bear Arms"?   It was cut and dry.. There were several reasons with number one reason being.. deterring tyrannical government, number 2 repelling invasion, number 3 being suppressing insurrection,4 was facilitating a natural right of self-defense, 5 was participating in law enforcement, and 6 allowed the people to organize a militia system. After consideration of these needs the second amendment reads " 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 upon".

    No where was the verbiage for sportsmanship or self-defense only written or inferred. It was there because our forefathers had just battled a tyrannical government for freedom. It started with unfair taxes being imposed without representation from the people. Following the Boston Tea Party the colonies were hit with other oppressive regulations. This caused the revolutionary war. When the Bill of rights were ratified this was the cause. In today's  world we are only a step away from such oppression. How can individuals arm themselves appropriately when the police and military representing the government looks like the picture to the right. Today our political parties pass legislation in representation of their own political parties not the people who elect them. Our right to bear arms established this country and to revoke that right would surely cause its downfall.

     When individuals like Mr. Costas screams or advocate that our rights be taken away because of individual action, it is an attack on our core freedoms. I contend that in our society the misuse of guns falls more on society than the rights we have. Every movie, every show, every book and every video game that we confront everyday desensitizes our population to the realities of violence which includes the misuse of guns. It is seen as random and with no effect on people who would be close to such violence and also without effect on the moral conscience.  The same has effected how our younger generation has come to view sex, drinking and drugs. I suggest to Mr. Costas that instead of spewing non American views, maybe he should lobby to cleanup Hollywood and other media outlets. Also through education and re-establishing the morals our country was founded upon.

Call a tax Increase a tax increase

     Currently our president is heading out on a $4 million vacation while a fiscal cliff is looming. Congresss is  considering a cut in tax rates, but doing away with even more in exemptions and deductions.. This is a backdoor tax increase and will put less money in your paychecks... They need to call it what it is an increase in tax revenue is an increase in TAXES perioid. All without a balanced budget, and eliminating waste, fraud, reforming entitlements(Not SS & Medicare its almost gone as is) and giving aid to countries that Hate us. 

What Is Too Much Tax?

Everyone needs to review the Simpson Bowles act... Our congress is debating this now. It will reduce medicare, raise gas taxes, raise income taxes and change the age you can receive Social Security. Its already age 70 for somneone my age and my life expectancy is 73... They are stealing our retirements. It will cut non specific spending which means nothing gets cut. They do this as each Congressman makes in excess of $175k, They receive that in a pension for the rest of their life after one term. The receive in the neighborhood of 1.5 million for staffing and 75k for descretionary spending, travel expenses an so on. They have lifetime top level medical and they are cutting ours out.. Call your congressman and senators and stop this now.. Review these numbers and see what you can afford: I would like to know what is too much tax. Figure $852 per week national average for househould income.Thats under $3700 per month, Average family Insurance Contribution in 2010(Its Higher Now) was 333 per month. That leaves 3367 per month All Current taxes are in the neighborhood of 50 cents per dollar. That leaves $1683 per month. The national Average for a mortgage is $1687 per Month. Thats not food, clothes, car payments, car or life insurance, savings, vacations or anything else. When Congress has such lush benefits, national uncontrolled spending and waste, foreign aide out of check, No balanced budget. How much more are we expected to pay. What is fair.. 

Lets Save Christmas

About 236 years ago our forefathers set forth establishing this great country.. In doing so we were given rights that were undeniably from our Creator, The Almighty God, The laws of Nature, and Natures God. We were given in the first Admendment the right to pursue and practice our choice of religion. Even in times when it is not so popular for that religion to be Christianity. A time when fellow americans with equal rights as established by the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights which were established because the rights were so endowed by our creator, the Almighty God have tried to suppress our rights to our religion. Now and for the last couple of decades they have been and are attempting to abolish Christmas and the reflection of Christmas.. As I reflect on the Gift of Christmas that God gave us, the birth of Jesus our savior, I am ever so appreciative of the gift our forefathers gave us with the right to practice and enjoy our choice of this blessed christian tradition. I am also so appreciative that it was written so firmly that those rights still exists today for it surely has been under attack to no avail. So I encourage all Christians to fully practice our traditions openly. Be proud of this gift and share with those who desire this gift, sharing the true meaning of Christmas with our friends and family. Merry Christmas to all.

Picture becoming clearer.

      It has come to light in the past week or so that the republican party not only considers Romney an outsider but they appear that they really do not even like him. I believe Mitt Romney was a sincere politician that would have accomplished alot. The other republican candidates offered nothing and were rejected by the voters. Now that Romney has lost we will see what they have to off otherwise.

   This also explains why there was no challenges to such things such as misrepresented unemployment numbers the last two cycles. The lack of outrage over Benghazi by the establishments. Congress should have been all over it. The fact it was announced that Obama had the defense contractors hold off to announce lay offs. The fact that hundreds of companies were lining up for lay offs and cut backs if Obama was re-elected. Why was this not brought to the voters attention. Why were there tens of thousands of supporters at his rallys all around Philadelphia and he didnt receive 1 vote(Nonsense). No one believes this and everyone believes voter fraud was rampant. Congress should have been all over this with full blown press conferences on all of this and more.

     I hope someone like Marco Rubio grabs the reigns of the party and set policy that makes our core values become stronger again. Immigration policies that bring the latin vote into the Republican Party where their values are appreciated. Refresh the american fold on all of the civil rights that the republican party had been champions of. The pure fact that most minorities are very spiritual and hold their relationship with God very close puts them in closer alignment with the republican party. The democrat party, party  of  Pro-Choice, Gay Marriage, rewarding those who refuse to work, who denounces God as a whole at their convention is not a party for Christians of any race.

How can there be no questions?

   Romney has huge turnouts at all rallys all over the country, Much larger than Obama's. He had to bring Bruce Springsteen to get a decent turnout. everyone we run across suffered and can not stand Obama's policies. Obama just does not do his job. In our community we have about a 62/38 Rep/dem ratio. 73% voted for Romney. On face book. Its a handful of spiteful, gloating  people compared to masses of shocked people. There has to be something going on with the counting, Systems had to be hacked.
   
   Also Benghazi, How can SOS Clinton make herself unavailable. Petreius steps down because of an affair after the FBI checked to see if he was cheating. Why is the FBI investigating sex? I want my tax money back. Lybia needs a top to bottom investigation with Obama and Biden prosecuted. Both have lied and both publically covered it up. Also Obama had defense contractors hold off announcing layoffs to after the election. That is illegal on the front of regulations and against election law. I see another executive privialge order coming to shut this stuff down. I could rant on but obviously americans dont care and americans have changed their values and they have changed morally. But lets send the FBI to investigate who is having sex. Where were they with Clinton and Kennedy and John Edwards....

Voters Enthusiasm

      What is everyones take on voter enthusiasm. I see reports of huge rallies that Romney and Ryan are having. Reports of Romney having 30,000, Obama 2800 at events over the last few days. Reports that Obama had 80,000 at a rally in 2008 and 4000 there this time. How does this play in to the fact that more people identify themselves as republicans this election while less identify themselves democrat. Also with the gap in women voters being erased and independant voters swinging strongly republican how do the polls stay so close... It feels like there is either a strong misrepresentation of what is going on out there or the models the polls are based on have to be off. Off of the ground game reports I feel led to believe Michael Barrone and Dick Morris are correct.

Unions Stop Recovery in NY

       Why the rest of the country is tired of unions and think they should be reduced to a diminished role. In NY they are vulgarly harassing utility workers from out of town. Millions are without power and other utilities and these union workers only care about themselves. No one has taken their jobs or threatened to.  These good, loyal union workers only see opportunity for extended overtime. Not the many many people in dire need of help. They also dont appreciate the people who were torn from their families and make personal sacrifices to help fellow americans... Vote against the unions and organized labor.      http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/03/shock-audio-ny-union-members-shout-scabs-and-scumbags-at-visiting-utility-crews

I am beginning to believe!

    When I look at the polls as they come out I am amazed at how close they are. Especially when we hear things like Governor Romney has closed the gender gap.  A large portion of businesses and most small business backs Mitt Romney. Catholics and other Christians lean toward Romney because of the gay marriage issues, abortions anywhere, anytime or anyplace, and the governments infringements on religious institutions. Many black Churches will not vote this year. There are only 3.7% of Americans gay. Romney has the major support of the military. Independent voters are swinging in a large way to Romney. But the polls are still deadlocked. Romney has a record of success in business and government. Obama  has no business record, his senate record took no sides voting present and his presidential record is atrocious.

     I think Dick Morris and Michael Barone may be on to something. With all of the news in the favor of Romney and so much wrong with Obama's record I am starting to become a believer in what these two men have to say.. I cant wait to see if they are right and to hopefully celebrate a renewal of values that will make our country strong again.

The Latin/Hispanic Vote

     We are super glad that the majority in Miami have paid attention and voting for real progress. This election has been a venue where the media and current president have misguided and  directed the Latin Vote by illegal policies and untruths.

     The Latin/Hispanic vote should naturally fall to the republican side.. With strong conservative values,  strong work ethics, and deeply religous roots they should walk hand in hand with the core base of the republican party.
   
      The media through illegal policy and false representations have guided many Latin/hispanic voters to the democrat side.  This is truly a travesty and is using peoples dreams for political gain.

Obama, Losing Could Be His Best Option

     Losing such a prestigous election could be Obama's best bet. His cover up and inability to handle foreign policy is much worse than what Nixon did. His only saving grace is the mainstream media has been on his side. I believe that if he is re-elected he may end up prosecuted along with Hillary. One if not both will lose a job over that scandal.

    He also has covered  up other crimes such as Fast and Furious. His giving taxpayer funds to campaign donors another crime. Misappropriation of funds is a big deal. I believe his best bet is to lose. His arrogance keeps him in the race. Thankfully with his bad record we will probably not see him  elected to a second term saving our country the heart ache of such a scandal.

Common Sense Wins

The NYC Marathon has been cancelled.. Was it common sense or the fear of rebellion. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/NYC-Marathon-Post-Storm-Resources-Mayor-Bloomberg-Defends-Decision-177019721.html?dr

Very Presidential

     Such a positive message today... I really dont understand how people can not say he has a plan or message. He covers what is at the heart of todays problems and he shows he has the experience to correct them...  

      I  dont see how anyone can look at the Presidents Record and then compare them to Mitt Romney at all. That shows some people would vote for Donald Duck if they were on the ballot, if they represented their party.

Unacceptable

        We can not let this be the new standard. The unenployment rate is only this low after all of the playing with numbers and coming up with a new formula that got the rate under 8%, and barely under that rate.  We should expect more of ourselves than this and we should definetley not allow public servants to tell us we need to accept this.

Harry Reid Will Refuse to Work With Romney

  Harry Reid doesnt understand who he works for... If the people elect Mitt Romney, Harry Reid should work with him or get out of the way. Working with a President and finding compromise is what our governmental system is based on. I cant understand how he has stayed in office so long. What is the best way to deal with Harry Reid?   As Americans lets hold Harry Reid accountable and move our coutry forward.   http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/nov/2/reid-says-he-cant-work-romney/

Our Purpose

   This blog will cover what is going on in our country today. Is there transparency?   We will keep up on government activities and how they will effect the lives of Americans. We also want the citizens of our great country to know and understand that they can see the truth of what is going on today.  When we see such a breakdown and cover up as Benghazi, a politician will not be able to say it is all good. They should never get away with telling us the opposite  of what we see or hear.

   Feel free to follow us here and we will keep up to date on activities that will determine the quality of the lives of ordinary citizens...
