On the Fence? Or to the Right?

So I’ve been sort of following this whole St. Louis Rams sale and Rush Limbaugh’s interest in purchasing the team.  I just stumbled across an article linked on Drudge Report about Rush Limbaugh being dropped from being in contention as a potential buyer.

Al Sharpton came out strong as a critic of the deal with Rush.  Rev. Al Sharpton said, “we shouldn’t welcome owners who are “divisive and incendiary.”  That’s a flippin’ laugh!  If there’s anyone who knows how to be divisive and incendiary it’s him.  But Al Sharpton’s views aren’t what kept Rush Limbaugh out of contention.  And doesn’t Olbermann make divisive and incendiary statements?  I believe that Roger Goodell has allowed him to work with the NFL by commentating games.

Apparently, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay came out saying he’d not support the selling of the team to Limbaugh.  NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell agreed.

Jim Irsay is making a strong statement of rejection of Rush Limbaugh because of political views.  Honestly, I couldn’t care less if Rush got the team or not, but since when is football related at all to politics?  Is a football team owner not allowed to have opinions?  Rush Limbaugh’s career is as a political talk show host.  Who cares?!  Why should that preclude his seeking after his dreams of owning a football team?

I’ll tell you why Jim Irsay rejects Rush Limbaugh, not just as a potential football team owner, but as a person.  Jim Irsay doesn’t seem to believe firmly in either political philosophy.  How do I know this?  I’ve done some research to find the root cause of this man finally finding something to be passionate about; being a stumbling block for a certain private citizen seeking to be an NFL team.

Here’s my research for you.  According to News Meat (Popular Campaign Donor Search Engine) Jim Irsay has given close to $100,000 in political donations since 1978.  This is one little interesting tidbit;

IRSAY, JAMES MR. INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46253 INDIANAPOLIS COLTS/OWNER	George W Bush (R) President BUSH-CHENEY ’04 (PRIMARY) INC	Won	$2,000 primary	04/01/04
Irsay, James Indianapolis, IN 46254 Indianapolis Colts/Owner and CEO	John Edwards (D) President EDWARDS FOR PRESIDENT	Lost	$2,000 primary	01/13/04

So he gave donations to both John Edwards and George Bush in the 2004 Election season.  You can look at more on News Meat and you’ll find he’s done interesting things like that throughout the years, such as giving money to the RNC and DNC in Indiana only 3 days apart.

So in today’s society, being divisive and incendiary is enough to kill the dreams of Rush to own a football team, but since when is sitting on the fence more admirable or honorable?

God Bless America!

Freedom of Speech…. Stifled!

I recently tossed a joke centered on irony.

The Nobel Peace Prize Winner just sent 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan. While I’ll agree that Peace Keeping, those folks in Oslo would generally disagree… if it weren’t Obama.

There was the joke.  I even told it to an Aussie buddy of mine who actually happens to really like Obama and he just cracked up.  He was laughing quite hard.  Then I told him a reaction that an obvious supporter of Obama gave me and he was shocked.  “What’s so offensive about what you said?” he asked.  “It was just a joke!”.

I agreed.  It was just a joke and intended as such.

I’ve been running into attacks and attempts to stop people from disagreeing with this President… Heaven forbid.  Disagreeing was ok with Bush, but how can anyone disagree with the Messiah?  Ok, sarcasm aside, it’s actually a true assessment of the pedestal on which the the U.S. and the flippin’ rest of the world has placed Obama.  I will continue to disagree with the man as long as his views conflict with those of the Founding Fathers.  I will continue to voice that disagreement.

I encourage you all to search out and learn what the Founding Fathers intended if you don’t know.  Tell those around you.  Get informed and inform others.  That’s the only way we will see the CHANGE and HOPE we really do need.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Congratulations Mr. Messiah Obama!

So George W. Bush made the United States of America the joke of the world.  At least, that’s what I’ve come to see in my time overseas.  The election of Barack Hussein Obama has made that joke disappear apparently.  The world loves Obama as we have all come to see.

I think I can honestly say that the tides have turned.  World, sad to say it, but, the jokes on YOU now.  You’re a total complete joke to offer the Nobel Peace Prize to a man who has accomplished next to nothing in his lifetime and certainly hasn’t ended the two wars that America is currently involved in.  He’s even considering sending 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan… wouldn’t that escalate violence?  Well, that’s very much deserving of the Nobel PEACE Prize.

All I gotta say is, I’m glad the rest of the world don’t get to vote in our elections.  My prediction – This man’s out in 2012.

God Bless America!

Unfortunately

Unfortunately, I must postpone my return to the Blog World until January 2010.  I’m bogged down in work in Australia and internet is nowhere near as available as it is in the States.  I look forward to returning home to friends and family.
God Bless America!

AWOL

I’m going to be away for a bit.  I won’t be posting for about a month or so as I’m really busy in my work until then.  Internet is also a bit sporadic where I am.

Bless you all and talk to you again soon!

God Bless America!

Hate Speech Legislation to Curb FREE SPEECH!

This is one of those bills we all have to be on top of, folks!

Check it out here linked to my blog: Hate Speech Bill to Curb 1st Amendment

We must be diligent!

Mad Patriot

Taxes! Their FAVORITE word!

Check this out!     http://www.mcclatchydc.com/nation/story/71078.html

I had heard about a year and a half ago about the possibility of this to come in the coming times.  I thought, “aww, they’ll never get away with that!”  Now, I’m not so sure.  Obama is doing some incredibly UNpopular things and managing to “get away” with it.

So the plan (by folks that are not elected) are looking to impose a “by the gallon” tax on gasoline by the year 2020.  By the gallon?  Guess a road trip is out, but that’s ok because we all know that if we drive less, the worlds temperature will drop.  Hm… that’s total crap.  All of it!

I remember hearing Bill Clinton say something to the effect of, “Lower taxes! Don’t the republicans have a better line?”  Something like that anyways.  I was furious.  Our liberty and taxes are directly related to each other.

The United States of America declared independence based partly upon disgruntlement over unfair taxes.  It’s right there in our beginnings!  People streamed to the U.S. seeking liberty.  For a lot of them, that meant a fair place to earn a living and make their own way in the world, unhindered by the bureacracies bogging them down and stealing their money in their previous country.  People believe they have a right to what they have earned.  Why?  Because they do have that right!

Point:  If a pay-per-gallon tax is imposed on us, it limits our driving trips as well as our wallets.  Since when does ANY government have that right?

No, I’m not for no taxes.  Let’s use our brains now.  I will continue to pay my taxes, but for once, I’d like the tax plan of the democrats applied to me.  ”Don’t pay, wait, get nominated”

Two quotes from the late Ronald Reagan:

“I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers: Go ahead, make my day.” —March 13, 1985, in a speech threatening to veto legislation raising taxes.

And one that Obama will do well to remember:

“When people tell me I became president on January 20, 1981, I feel I have to correct them. You don’t become president of the United States. You are given temporary custody of an institution called the presidency, which belongs to our people.” — Address to the Republican national convention. Aug. 15, 1988

Both quotes found here.

God Bless America!

Where is my President?

Obama has chastised Ahmedinejad over the handling of the election in Iran.  What has come of that?  Pretty much all that has happened is the Iranian leader scoffing at us and accusing us of meddling in Iranian affairs.  All I’ve seen is the Messiah of the world saying, “Stop it Ahmedinejad.  You’re not being very nice right now.  Be nice.”  How pathetic.  I’m sure this foreign police would have worked well with Saddam Hussein as well or perhaps the Taliban.

Well, obviously I’m not the only person to notice that lack of results that our Supreme Leader has compiled in his folder labeled foreign policy.  The Honduran military overthrew their leader when he tried to illegally tried to ammend their constitution to allow for him to be re-elected.  Countries in that part of the world have been falling to socialism and being commandeered by tyrannical leaders.  The Honduras people knew that they no longer had a friend in the United States.  The have watched as a strong beacon of light for Freedom has crumbled and lost it’s spine.  That’s why they did what they had to do.

I’m shocked (though some of my friends say I should not be) to see Obama condemning this act of self preservation alongside Chavez.  Is Obama going to push for more terms as President for him?

ObamaCare

“Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, said that elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it’s not provided by insurance.

Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn’t seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he’s proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.

The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if “it’s my family member, if it’s my wife, if it’s my children, if it’s my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.”        -http://www.mwilliams.info/archive/2009/06/best-care-vs-obamacare.php

“ObamaCare” is on the menu folks!  As information is coming out regarding the proposals by our esteemed Leader and his cohorts, it’s becoming increasingly clear of his intent on more Government takeover.  Unfortunately, he’s quite “clever” about it.

From the reading I’ve been doing, it seems that it starts with the Government creating another competitor in the healthcare field.  That would of course be the federal governement.  It would be a government run “medicare” that would compete with private insurers effectively forcing the private insurers to increase their premiums.  This would make it much harder for the middle class (whatever the definition may be these days) and certainly anyone but the upper class unable to afford the best service available.  Ultimately, it will lead to a system without the option for private care for anyone (As the private competition was forced out of business).  All this leading to a one payer system (Universal Health Care).

This is all Obama’s clever way of putting in place an immensely unpopular system that he himself would not use, but is willing to force upon Americans, as proved by the quote at the top of the blog.  He admits that it all may very well lead to a “one payer” system.

“President Obama himself has said that if he were designing a health-care system from scratch, his preference would be a single-payer system “managed like Canada’s.” He has also said that, while his proposal is a less radical approach, “it may be that we end up transitioning to such a system.”  http://www.commonwealthfoundation.org/commentary/obamacare-come
