The America We Deserve

Posted by Cullin on October 24, 2008

We deserve to have 4 years of terrible administration, relentless government growth, and our freedoms and rights taken away from us if the elections turn out as polls are forecasting.  We’ve grown lazy and we’re not holding anyone accountable.  The news tells us something, it must have happened, if they omit it, or say that it’s not really an issue, they must be right.  If we refuse to vet a candidate because he’s going to bring “hope” and “change” and that’s all we care about, we deserve our government.

Biden has promised us an international crisis within six months, if Obama gets elected.  He said that we’ll need to support him, even though it’s not going to look like he has made the right decision at first.  I can promise you that this will be an opportunity for the Obama administration to take away some powers from the congress or the judicial, or possibly state governments or even the people.  He’ll be able to further centralize the power flow in the US.  I wouldn’t be surprised if term limits got over turned either.  We’ll start to see even more rampant voter fraud, because now democrats will control every part of the voting process, guaranteeing democratic majorities for the rest of time.  We deserve our government.

No one will do better under an Obama tax plan.  Redistribution doesn’t work.  They’ve tried it in many countries, but for some reason they think it’s going to work better here.  He says that he’s only going to tax the wealthy.  Which, at best, only sounds good to people who don’t realize that he’s disincentivising upward social mobility.  But, who cares about social mobility right?  I mean, my dad was poor, I should be poor too, it’s only right.  In reality his tax plan is the same as saying that he’s only going to draw water out of your neighbor’s side of the well.  But, it doesn’t matter as long as he’s yelling about how two legs are bad and four legs are good, and as long as he keeps pushing our country to build this windmill that we so desperately need, people will follow.  We deserve our government.

A long time coming

Posted by Cullin on October 17, 2008

It has been just about two weeks since my latest blog, but I just can’t keep up with all of the crap I’ve seen in the news lately.

Voter fraud is running rampant and no news is reporting it.  Some companies, like the NYTimes are making excuses for it, even saying that making fraud easier would be better.  And, it’s incredibly scary.  If the messiah wins because more people legitimately voted for him, fine.  But, if he and the democrats sieze power because they stole the elections process through fraud, we’ve lost our country.  We’ve moved into a dictatorship.  And, it should be a call to arms.

In other news, the Obama camp is affraid of Joe the Plumber.  You can tell it, the same way they were with Stanley Kurtz investigating Obama’s ties with Weather Underground Terrorist Bill Ayers.  They tried keeping him from ever reading the files of the Chicago Annenberg Project, when he got a hold of those, they tried to keep him from being heard on the radio, and they tried to smear him.  Classic liberal police state policies.  In tried and true democrat fashion, they have once again adopted the mantra, “If you can’t beat him, smear him” (Thanks to Michelle Malkin for that one).

We get it, MSM.  His first name isn’t Joe.  It’s Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher.  He’s not a licenced plumber, he doesn’t have to be, the company he works for currently needs the licence.  He doesn’t make 250,000 now, so he’ll qualify for the Obama’s fake tax cuts; great, you’re going to punish his social mobility?  Don’t do better for yourself, because we’re going to take it away.  He owes back taxes already, la-dee-fricken-da, Charles Rangel, the demon-crat who writes tax codes was evading taxes and said that he didn’t know.  BS, now pick up the cards.

The moral of the story is that the democrats are going to establish a police state in the US and we can’t do a thing about it because we can’t garner enough of the dead, 12 year old, or fictional character vote.  We’re screwed.

My Letter to the Cornyn Team

Posted by Cullin on October 3, 2008

Cornyn’s vote on the bail out plan has made me lose a great deal of confidence in him.  Just the other day I had sent a letter to Rep. Gohmert expressing my gratitude that he had voted against the initial bill, and I hope that I get to keep him in such great accord after tomorrow.

This bill is not what we need to fix our financial problem.  It is only a big government reaction to a problem which was caused by previous, similar big government programs.  The government cannot and should not regulate the markets.  They work very well on their own, but as soon as we start trying to artificially bolster them, we will keep having to increase our stimulation and regulation, until we slowly work our way into the same type of socialist governments of Venezuela and the like.  On this day, I would have higher approval ratings for the French government than that of my own country because they have been moving away from the bureaucratic theocracy where the almighty regulator is our lord and saviour that we are ever so steadily starting to embrace.

For the last several weeks and months I have been greatly pushing Cornyn as the candidate for the Senate from Texas.  However, my heart broke and I was not able to continue advocating for his re-election this day whenever I had to tell a curious voter that he did indeed vote for the bail out.

The initial bill was not a good idea at 700 billion.  When it was pushed through with another 150 billion dollars worth of pork and pet projects that otherwise would cost the taxpayer next to nothing, it was an even worse idea.

It is too late for this senate bill, the damage is done in that governing body.  Hopefully, the bicameral nature of our legislature will hold true to its intention and kill this atrocity of Keynesian thought.  And, hopefully Cornyn will have a chance to redeem himself by not voting for another such bill, which would cost us too much, and benefit us much too little.

I would hope that you would relay the fear and lamentations of those like me.  Those who wonder what happened to Cornyn’s principles.

“The government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could conceivably put taxpayers on the hook for $200 billion. Taxpayers should not be in the business of rescuing shareholders, CEOs or those who made bad business decisions. Both institutions have demonstrated spending habits that should not be underwritten by taxpayers. We must hold fully accountable those individuals at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who failed to live up their responsibilities. This is why I could not support the American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008 (H.R. 3221), which provided Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with an unlimited credit line to the U.S. Treasury.” – Sen. John Cornyn, September 8, 2008
