#31 Children of Kennedy

We are living with a new breed of Democrats than those of Kennedy. When you go back and listen to Kennedy's inauguration speech you hear these famous words of:

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for
you—ask what you can do for your country."

Today's democrats, the children of Kennedy, have abandoned what the man stood for. His speech was calling for all Americans to make sacrifices but voluntarily do so, to remain loyal and not trade in American values, to stand strong against any who oppose and want to change our values, and to put aside our differences so we do not make a big deal out them. But today we see democrats going the opposite direction. Instead of standing strong, they want to tuck their tails and flee. Instead of putting aside our differences they want to stress them and only get their agenda done (but of course admittedly this is a two way street). Instead of remaining loyal they want to help the terrorists and give them clemency and legal rights. But, the worst thing they have done is fail to make sacrifices for their country.

The new battle cry (which is echoed or perhaps is led by their new messiah) is "Don't ask what you can do for your country, ask what can the country do for you?". They live in a world where they feel the government and the rest of the citizenship owes them something. They do not know what sacrifice is all about. They may know hardships and hard times but not sacrifice. They are embracing socialism because many do not want to try. They want the rest of us to pay for them. Some are so duped they think all of their problems will disappear. This is the new generation of voters people. This is what will drive them to the polls. This is something we will have to deal with for years perhaps decades until we realize life is not free.

And when all of the true Americans stand up and say "I do not want to be forced to pay for those who are asking the previous question", the response by the Democrats will be a familiar: "Yes, we can. Yes, we can." Starting with the cost of the inauguration, which is four times the amount than any other president. President Clinton spent $33 million. President Bush spent $42 million. President Obama???? $160 million. Guess who is paying for it. And this will go on for 4-8 years.

In an economy that needs $160 million, the new Democrat will make us pay for it. But ask not!

#30 A Burning Bush

November 2001, President Bush acquires an 88% approval rate, one of the highest ever recorded in American history. Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike all gather around the man who will lead America through a national tragedy. Congressional leaders gathered on the steps of the Capitol Building and sang "God Bless America". Nationalism at its best. The President promised to find those who did this atrocity to us and keep us safe. We found out who did it. We have not been attacked since. Not once has the US been under attack nor has any American property domestic or foreign been severely hit. We toppled Saddam Hussein and brought a dictator to justice. We toppled the Talibani regime. Millions of people voted for the first time in history. Women in Afghanistan were allowed to go to school for the the first time in their lives. More money has been spent on AIDS relief to Africa under President Bush than any other president, worldwide. http://www.avert.org/pepfar.htm. Everyone in the US who actually pays taxes received tax cuts. This is something the Democrats tried to stop.

Yet, November 2008, President Bush acquires a 25% approval rate. Why? Because the left wants to burn Bush. They want to blame everything bad that has happened on him and many are unfair claims. The economy always has downturns, historically you can not change that. But he is not in charge of the economy. His policies rarely get to the American people. Congress was in control more of the economy than he was. And when the Republicans were in charge the economy was at an all time high. The DOW-Jones hit 14,000. Then after Congress changed in January 2007 the economy started to slip and when Barney Frank and his cohorts denied any problems on their watch Fannie Mae and friends took a nose dive thereby starting a spiral effect of the American way of life. Hurricane Katrina WAS NOT President Bush's fault. Even the slow response was due to New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana, and FEMA. Not finding WMDs in Iraq is not President Bush's fault. They simply were not there. The information given to him was bogus. But shouldn't we feel safer now that we found out they have none?! The environment is not President Bush's fault. We have been tearing it up since the day God created us. Gas prices were not President Bush's fault. Greed from Arabic/OPEC nations and the stupidity of people not wanting to use our own resources caused these to go up.

The present wants to burn a Bush. The future will look back and notice that he had been misjudged. So long, Mr Bush. Thank you for 8 years of safety.

#29 Help is on the Way

Happy New Year. Hope that doesn't offend those who do not celebrate a new year or have a different day to celebrate.

Results of December's Poll:
62% think that President-elect Obama's biggest problem is the economy.
12% think that his morals are going to hurt him.
12% think that the Middle East will give him trouble.
6% think terrorism.
6% think his popularity will turn on him.
0% think China, Russia, Congress or anything else will give him struggles.

So only 18% think that the outside world will effect Mr Obama and 80% think his biggest problems will come from the inside.

The economy though is not really under a president's control. Oh, they can influence the market by signing stimulus packages. We see how much that helped and changed the economy. He can give back tax breaks and refunds. That sure did help. Or he can create short term jobs that will end after his presidency or bail out every one in need. The economy is only about 5% of what the president does. It's about 10% of Congress. It's about 25% of the consumer. It's mostly about what the companies and those with money do. If they decide to raise prices, the rest of us pay the price. If they decide to lay people off then some people get screwed. If they decide to hold meetings and send people to seminars for $4 million then we have to hear about it. If the economy hurts Mr Obama, we should feel sorry for him just like any other American who doesn't own a million dollar house.

The Middle East is always a problem. There are no solutions to what happens over there. It's not going to stop until the anti-Christ puts an end to it. Oh wait..., never mind.

Terrorism? William Ayers? On the serious side, we should all hope that this never effects any president ever again. Sorry, President Bush.

Popularity? Well, he has already ticked off the homosexual groups and atheists. This is actually raised his popularity for one person. :-)

China? Russia? Congress? They may not be his downfall but these will definitely be road blocks for him. They always are. They are the three largest groups of humanitarian atrocities in history.

No. If Mr. Obama has a downfall, it will be his morals. He's going into the presidency without any. He is starting out with a lie: CHANGE! He is bringing in all the older government workers. He hasn't had a backbone to stand up against abortion activists. It's above his pay grade. His tax cut isn't, but abortion is.

His other promise is HOPE. Let's hang on to that. It may be all we have left after he is done...in 8 years.
