Welcome to the crazy world of DC.  So many that are elected because they say the right thing, just can't walk the walk!  I know it hurts but watch and learn.  This is why I keep asking Tea Party members to join the REC.  The REC is where the power is, wake up, all the talking and yelling does little.  We have to remove the Libs in the GOP and replace them with Conservatives.  We start with the local and go from there.  Remember the fish rots from the Head up.  We're in trouble even down here at the tail!!

Note to Roma and Tom: Unfortunately, we need something like the Patriot Act to leagally obtain information about terrorist activities. The problem would be the abuse of the Act! Federal judges cannot be depended upon to protect America; just look at how much lawyers and judges are hampering our troops in combat.  It is definitely not a black or white situation.

"I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man's virtues the means of deceiving him." - Samuel Johnson

 “Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy "accommodation." And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer--not an easy answer--but simple.” – Ronald Reagan (1964 speech Rendezvous with Destiny)

I want terrorists either jailed or killed, and I am not very sympathetic to their 'Rights' having precedence over yours and mine!

No Tom the third grader was reference to the smartest people in the world running the country into the ground because they have no clue how business works. All they have managed to do is suck the life out of the economy. I sorry if you thought I was mocking your post, I wouldn't do that.

 

People need to start to understand that every time the government spends a dollar it one less dollar we can spend. Government produces nothing and beyond the scope of the Constitution they are nothing more then a parasite.

 

Again sorry for the misunderstanding.

Roma and Tom

 

Its happening right now, any third grader with a calculater can figure that out. Our leaders and the media are covering it up, but ask any small business owner and you will know, there is no recovery.

 

In the world there are about 192 countries, almost all have a debt problem. So you can see its only a matter of time before everyone starts to default.

"One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much." - Luke 16:10 ESV

The Republicans had a chance to demonstrate their principles of fiscal responsibility and their resolve to stand by those prnciples!  They missed the chance to show the Democrats that they are not geldings!

There are 19 Florida Republicans in the House; only 5 voted against the CR, and Ander Crenshaw (my representative) wasn't one of them.

"Their heads are no bigger than the ordinary: it is the atrophy of the chest beneath that makes them seem so.  And all the time—such is the tragic-comedy of our situation—we continue to clamor for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that what our civilization needs is more 'drive', or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or 'creativity'. In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful." -C.S Lewis, The Abolition of Man. 

 

 The Nation is drowning in a Lake of Debt, and Boehner is stymied because of the "No Swimming" sign in the House. This is 'Capitulation' not 'Responsible Leadership.' At least Marco Rubio and Five Brave Florida Conservative Republicans get it!

The Republican leadership has been timid in acting on real budget cuts, and growth policies. They mouth the right words, but do not speak with one half of the passion of the big spenders on the left. Cutting spending-entitlement and discretionary-is a moral issue. It is morally wrong for the government to pay off special interests, and beggar America for the next 3 generations. It is morally wrong to choke America's marvelous creative energy with the dead hand of socialist, anti American "czars." It is morally wrong strip down America's defenses because the Obama administration does not believe in American exceptionalism. It is morally wrong that this administration has moved bad policies through its czars and not elected officials. It is about time our Republican leadership really speak out on the moral argument and stop sounding like a bunch of CPA's.

I call on the governors of the states to convene a Constitutional Convention with only three amendments to be considered.  Repeal of Obama-care, Balanced Budget, and FAIR (consumption) tax.  We can no longer trust any DC politician.

 

Rick Scott, where are you?

The best reference for this issue is having to take the credit card from your college child who has maxed it out during spring break and can't seem to understand why they cannot just keep buying more beer. Our government is already drunk on spending money. This should be their sobering experience. We need some parents in the room (congress) who will stop the drunken binge. This was what November was all about. The whole Tea Party movement is about being a good parent. Most of us have been there on a personal basis and of which we speak. We just want our government to act as we do. It is not rocket science.

 My experience running a business is that when my employees are spending my money, they are not nearly as fiscally responsible as when it is their quarter. Human nature. Government employees are not spending their own money and they act just like the college students. Perhaps if more polititians came from the private sector instead of academia or law school, and had to be personally accountable for their decisions, we would have a different country. Wisconsin is a good example of the temper tandrum exhibited by the irresponsible when some fiscal disipline is exerted to cope with what obviously is a dire situation. It's time for the parents to show up. Hope we have anough of them in congress to make the difference.

Thank God for giving our Founding Fathers the wisdom to have a congress with two year terms.  Shortly, we will have the ability to load up some more congressional champions and repeat the message that seems to be ignored.  I think that a repeat of the message will but us in an all out fight, and I am looking forward to it.

We'll also get a chance to add to the Senate, and hopefully, we will be more skilled at providing quality candidates who can win.  Senator Nelson will be up for election, so will Obama. 

In the meantime, we have to support our new Governor and get our City government filled with Vision, Values and Valor.

Last night, in our Small Business Group meeting, we decided to focus on the city council and the school board.  We want to start attending the City council as a large group, let our city council know that we have their back and give them strength to make the hard decisions. 

More to come.

Power corrupts, absolute power, corrupts absolutely. Here is the catch 22; if they stop spending we collapse now. If they keep spending we collapse when no one will loan us any more money. In a nut shell Congress has maxed out the MasterCard and Visa, they used the Discover to make payments on the Mastercard and Visa. Now the Discover Card is maxed out and they are using short term money from American Express to keep Mastercard, Visa and Discover up to date.

 

We are about to have our cards cancelled early because one of the biggest buyers of Treasuries, Japan can no longer buy our debt and has to liquidate the trillion they hold.

 

Its not going to be pretty folks. America will have a financial collapse and the sooner we end the ponzi scheme, the sooner we can start rebuilding America.
