Enjoy your Sunday. If you are a football fan this is a great day and could only be better if your team is playing, my team the Dallas Cowboys, are not so I will watch half heartedly.
Remember to reflect this Sunday on what an event like the Super Bowl does for us and our families. It brings us closer together to enjoy our friends, family, and loved ones. It represents all that is good in sports and the excitement of competition.
There will be several commercials to enjoy. Please pay attention to 2 commercials in particular, they have been receiving a lot of media attention. Despite what your opinion is on abortion look at both commercials objectively and ask yourself this question. What are the reasons to spend over 2 million dollars for each commercial and what is the message? Why did one group file a formal complaint and once it was rejected decide to run it's own commercial?
I love politics but I am a little put off by the fact they chose the Super Bowl to politicize the abortion issue. What has America become? Long gone are the days of the Bud Wei Serrrr lizzards and they are now replaced with political b*llsh*t. I don't like it.
Take time to acknowledge our Lord and Creator on Sunday and please say a prayer for all of the troops. God Bless them all and thank you.
If I had to pick a winner I would say the Colts. I hate the Colts and the AFC in general but I don't think the Saints are in the same class. My bet this year is on the Over, take it for what it's worth...
Enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday!!!

Fiscal Philosophies
There are two distinct philosophies of thought when it comes to generating revenue for America. Both ideas are predicated upon what your beliefs are for government and it's size and scope.
Liberals in general and Obama specifically believe that the scope and focus of government should be large and all inclusive. They believe that government should provide for it's citizens at the expense of business, wealthy, and finally middle class. There is a small amount of taxation upon all classes but not all of them are specifically targeted like business and the wealthy. This is a classic example of redistribution of wealth. Take from one entity and give to another entity.
Obama believes that if he raises taxes on business and the wealthy that it really won't effect their employees nor their desire to accumulate more wealth. He thinks business will always be a constant however, their profit margins will fluctuate but not to the extreme where they will reduce labor. If they reduce labor the government will be financially sound and be able to provide if it happens. The more people reliant on government there are the more powerful the government becomes...
Conservatives in general and me specifically believe the focus and scope of government should provide basic necessities for it's citizens but be very small, efficient, and unobtrusive. Americans don't need a bureaucracy to tell them how to operate, we just have to rely on our work ethic and common sense and values to lead the way...
Instead of raising taxes, reduce taxes and give businesses and citizens more discretionary income to put back into the economy. If this happens capitalism kicks in and business focus on their workforce and profit margins. They then pay normal taxes on higher amounts of profit which accomplishes the same monetary goal as raising taxes on less revenue or smaller margins.
There are more differences obviously but the main one is now you have citizens working and paying taxes instead of relying on the government to support and provide for them. This reduces the amount of power a government has and keeps it's scope smaller and focused on priorities and security which is much better for Americans.
The Liberals have created an us against them mentality when it comes to everyday Americans versus wealthy Americans. I don't understand this. Why would anyone resent anyone else for what they have or don't have? Some people are just smarter, luckier, harder working, etc than others, this is plain and simple. It is what it is and far too often we forget what we have right in front of us while we are busy worrying about what we don't have...
There you have it, fiscal policies and philosophies in a nutshell. At the end of the day we are all Americans which means a lot of different things to a lot of different people but be patriotic, work hard, defend whats yours, and love your fellow man as you would your own family. This simple philosophy will benefit us all.
God Bless.

Obama and the law
If it isn't bad enough Obama blatantly lied about the Supreme Court ruling and how it will effect campaign contributions, he just sent his minion Robert Gibbs to defend his civilian terrorist trial plans to the media.
Never mind the fact that this will potentially cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Never mind the fact that these are terrorists captured during war and shouldn't be given a civilian trial. Never mind the fact that Obama wants to hold the trials in the very same city where the terrorist acts were committed, opening the wound all over again. How about what the media isn't reporting on?
How many times have you heard Obama and several others in his administration already say KSM and the other captured terrorists will be found guilty and sentenced to death? So much for the old innocent until proven guilty standard! He confessed right? Yes, when he was interrogated by the Bush administration but that confession will be non admissible because he wasn't marandized at the time of the confession. What about finding an impartial jury in a city that was devastated by those attacks? Do you really think they can find anyone that is impartial?
Any judge that wouldn't allow a change of venue based on that criteria must have their head examined! Never mind the fact that several elected officials and countless security experts have urged Obama to try these terrorists in military court. Never mind the fact that those very same people don't want the trials in NYC.
Obama doesn't care. He knows whats best for you and you better shut up and get in line. Not on my watch Chief!
I can see it now, terrorists are either acquitted or simply found not guilty if not for the reasons listed above then others I haven't thought of yet. But mark my words, if these trials go forward it will sink the Obama administration and it should. If these terrorists are let go or at the worst given some sort of break or deal, I hope he rots in the bowels of hell for all eternity.

I, I, I, me,me,me
If you were willing to brave through the first State of the Union speech by Obama, you now know this man is in love with his own image. I have never in my life seen such an egotistical a**hole, that I can remember anyway. Keep in mind I grew up surrounded by wrestlers, football players, fighters, and cowboys and still haven't met one of them who was more full of himself than our very own president.
This man is a do what I say and not what I do zealot who is corrupt as the day is long. I understand the necessity for a positive image because everyone slips from time to time. But, for Obama to out and out lie about the Supreme Court ruling and what it meant was quite simply horrific and shouldn't go unpunished. He blatantly and knowing lied as well as insulted the highest court in the land...Hopefully karma is a bitch on that one...
Obama also was caught awarding a first no bid job that was a direct payback to political contributors to his administration. It was the first reported no bid job but in actuality it is his 7th after he pledged, promised, and swore he would open every government contract job for an open bid...
The man is not only a racist, Marxist, Socialist, he is in love with himself. This is a scary combination and even worse for our future when this idiot thinks he can do no wrong. I would like to buy him for what he thinks he's worth and sell him for what he's actually worth...

State of the Union
I am baffled at how much Obama is completely out of touch with Americans right now.
I don't believe a word he says when he tells us he wasn't trying to make any backroom deals and he is pushing for transparency.
I don't believe him when he says creating jobs is his first priority, well maybe I do simply because it took losing 3 elections for him to realize that was America's first priority.
I don't think anyone in his entire administration has the first f*ck*ng clue what a terrorist is or how to deal with one when we catch them.
I don't think asking congress to spend valuable time on the "don't ask don't tell" gays in the military policy should have even been addressed. Where is that on your top 50 list of things Americans need right now?
I can't believe he is willing to defend the most incompetent treasury secretary and the most idiotic attorney general in American history! Why does he want to continue this idea of civilian trials for terrorists and let a tax cheat run the treasury?
Special interests, secret deals, fleecing, lies, etc so on and so forth. I am absolutely sickened and appalled but quite honestly, not surprised just disappointed...

Earth to Washington???
The Senate rejected an attempt to form a deficit task force today. Why? Normally it would be proactive and dare I say responsible for our elected officials to look a little into the future and try to predict how their votes will affect Americans, but not in this case.
In this case what they (Democrats) want to do is raise taxes to help our deficit. Depending on what you political ideology is this may be a good idea but higher taxes are never a good idea when we are in a recession or at all for that matter, but even Obama has said before raising taxes in a recession is a bad idea... Why does he want to raise taxes then?
Because when Liberals or Democrats are in charge they think the government must be the end all be all for it's citizens and all of that bureaucracy and corruption results in trillions of taxpayer dollars to operate. Republicans believe the govt should provide basic necessities like strong military, money for roads, education, pro business, and enabling the free market but they must be unobtrusive in your life. Stark contrasts but they are very accurate generally and reasonably speaking.
Here's the kicker. Obama realizes to fund his enormous social spending government bureaucracy he needs more money and has to go back on his word that if you make less than 250k a year your taxes won't go up. But, if he appoints a "task force" and they recommend raising taxes, well Obama is just listening to the "experts" and he had no choice but to raise taxes that way he didn't break another of his numerous campaign promises...
The dirty little secret here is this task force which is mostly comprised of Democrats, Obama's majority, they don't want to put their necks on the line and be the ones to say we must raise taxes during an election year. So, the tax increases, when they deem them necessary, won't be effective until after the November 2010 elections.
Just another shining example of how Washington thinks Americans are stupid and can justify anything they do because we aren't smart enough to figure it out. Not on my watch Chief!!!
Either way, Obama will raise your taxes despite your income level and here's a newsflash, he already has! He just doesn't want to be the one responsible for doing so because it hurts his re election chances. Obama is being untruthful by trying to manipulate tax increases but if he came out and raised them across the board and said here's why ( unions, social programs, health care, global warming) he knows America won't stand for it.
Our economic situation is getting more and more desperate with regards to inflation and the weakening of the dollar but that's a different topic to be discussed later. Bottom line for Obama is to fix this recession he must cut taxes across the board and allow businesses to expand and hire employees to pay taxes and grow our economy. But, he is a Liberal big government Democrat and it isn't in him to do so. Our loss and all of the unions and social welfare beneficiaries gain at our expense...
