Monday – Pruning Time

September 9th, 2013 . by Cary

“The multiplication of public offices, increase of expense beyond income, growth and entailment of a public debt are indications soliciting the employment of the pruning knife.”

–Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Spencer Roane, 1821

Founder’s Daily Quote

You know what’s really sad? There are 535 “representatives” in Washington, DC who ran for office, are running for re-election, or will be running for re-election on the platform of “Reducing the Debt”. Problem is, it’s the fox guarding the henhouse – these same “representatives” are the ones who GENERATE the debt, in the form of creating offices, departments, czars, programs, benefits, and whatnot. None of them have yet to remove an office, department, czar, program, benefit, or whatnot in order to demonstrate their willingness to reduce the debt and, consequently, the size of the Government machine and the not insignificantly onerous rules regulations and requirements mandated by these areas on businesses and, therefore, the economy. No, they want to see MORE government, not less. They think We, the People, need to see more government in order to know that we are getting enough bang for our buck.

I would be quite happy to have less bang, less buck taken from me, and less government interference in the economic engine that is the Free Market system of the United States.

Not just the current administration, either – I’m looking back at nearly one hundred years of uncontrolled government growth. We can’t support or sustain this much longer without a crash waking us up, shaking us out, and breaking a lot of households. It will be devastating. Just imagine what happens when all the welfare recipients (deserved and un- alike) realize there are more of them than there are of the providers – and the benefits are no longer coming. That will be an ugly day.

Watch The Other Hand

January 29th, 2013 . by Cary

So, while Obama(THHO) has been keeping our attention on the Second Amendment and the violation thereof by the administration, Obama(THHO) and his team of lackeys (all DemocRATS, including my senator from Arizona, John McCain) have been working on a “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”. The Arizona Democrat Republic has a big old Front Page Headline showing the four leading democRAT representatives during the introduction of this measure.

A bipartisan push for comprehensive immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship that is contingent on border security, shifted into high gear in the Senate on Monday, the day before President Barack Obama was expected to make a major speech on the issue at an appearance in Las Vegas.

Let’s take a look at some of the points, shall we? (bullet points taken from the print version of The Arizona Republic, I’m not sure if the on-line version will continue to show them.)

1. Citizenship Pathway – Create a “tough” but fair path to citizenship for undocumented (their words, not mine) immigrants in the US, contigent on securing the borders. (Translation: “As soon as Janet Napolitano tells us the borders are secure, we are going to flip the bird at all the legal immigrants who have followed the legal path to citizenship.”)

2. System Reform – Reform the immigration system so that it better meets the demands of the economy and strengthens families. (Translation: “We are going to continue screwing over US citizens who need work by facilitating the flow of low-cost illegal immigrants into this country and allowing the ones here to take even more jobs from US families, while at the same time stopping our law enforcement agencies from splitting families up when we send the illegal immigrants home, leaving their anchor baby families here.”)

3. Worker Verification – Create an effective system for employers to verify who is eligible to work and who isn’t. (Translation: “E-Verify has caught up too many people trying to work illegally in this country, so we’re going to create a system that lets all kinds of criminals slip through the cracks.”)

4. Workforce Demands – Establish a better process for workers to enter legally to meet the nation’s workforce needs, while protecting all workers. (Translation: “We are going to continue screwing over US citizens who need work by facilitating the flow of low-cost illegal immigrants into this country and allowing the ones here to take even more jobs from US families, while making sure that employers cannot fire the ones who are already here illegally, all the while ignoring the fact that the United States is sitting on 7% and higher unemployment.”)

There, I think I’ve got it figured out. What do you think? And remember, while this brewing, keep an eye on the other hand AGAIN so that Obama(THHO) and his minions administration can infringe on the Second Amendment some more.

Disappointed, But Optimistic

November 7th, 2012 . by Cary

Nothing is more depressing to a conservative, independent voter than to wake up and discover that Obama(THHO) is still pResident.

Yes, I am disappointed that the UNited States of Free Cheese has decided that Free Cheese (thank you, BZ) is more important than Free Enterprise. Free Cheese is more important than a Free Market. Free Cheese is the End All and Be All of being a citizen of these United States. And, sometimes, even the end all and be all of NOT being a citizen yet still enjoying the fruits of the labors of others in these United States.

Funny – Obama(THHO) supporters threatened to violently riot if their god did not win reelection. Notice how the opposition did not threaten to riot if Obama(THHO) DID win. Well, that might be a wasted observation, since most of the supporters of Obama(THHO) don’t seem to listen to anything not being said by Obama(THHO) hisownself. But it is an observation, nonetheless, of how the two sides comported themselves.

People will blame bad voting machines, bad counting, pictures in polling places of Obama(THHO), Obama(THHO) supporters wearing clearly political garb preventing those wearing Biblical garb from voting – the list will go on, but the bottom line is this country ALLOWED Obama(THHO) to win this election. This country does not care about the future, only about the RIGHT NOW – as long as the RIGHT NOW involves getting food stamps and other forms of assistance for free – well, free to the recipients – it’s costing actual taxpayers more and more of our takehome to support the free loaders.

I wonder what the tipping point will be? I wonder when the rest of us, those of us who are actually supporting the free loaders, get tired of having our hard earned money redistributed to the shiftless and lazy, and decide that we will either take our pay in cash or just quit working and join the unemployed and over-benefited of the United States of Free Cheese?

But I am optimistic – one day soon, the truly Free people of these United States will finally say “ENOUGH!” and the socialist and communist agendas of the Left will be put to rest.

Along with the left-leaning defeatist, elitist, lame-stream media.

I Am Not Hating Anyone

August 5th, 2012 . by Cary

I have been accused (by family members, no less!) of being a hateful man. I have been accused of not being tolerant of those who think differently than I do. I have been accused of HATING certain religious belief systems, and MAKING UP phrases such as “The Homosexual Agenda”.

To borrow a phrase, “guilty as charged”. Well, guilty of being truthful, which appears to be hate to certain people, especially those who allow their “feelings” to overrule their “thinkings”.

I am tolerant, of those who are trying to live correctly. I am NOT tolerant of those who try to force their ideologies on me or my family – and by “ideologies” I mean trying to convince me that homosexuality is “normal” and an “accepted” part of society now. (no, they are not. they may be considered normal and acceptable by liberal left leaning peoples, but not by true Christians.) And intolerant? How about when Christians decide not to support a business, and are called “racist” for doing so? How about when Christians decide to show their SUPPORT for a business and are called “racist” for doing so? Who is intolerant?

As far as the “Homosexual Agenda” – tell me you haven’t noticed that every prime-time show now has a “gay” character – or a “gay couple” – and the other characters pretend it is normal. Yes, the producers of those shows are trying to convince people that these types of relationships are normal and accepted. THAT is the Homosexual Agenda.

Don’t take my word for it – the mainstream media has been slanting coverage and cherry-picking stories for a while now. A man with a blog that I just found today, Lloyd Marcus, states the whole issue, even addressing the “racist” issue obliquely, in his post:

My conversation with Dad was yesterday. He called me at 9AM this morning. “Why haven’t I heard about what Christians were doing in support of Chick-fil-A?” I told Dad the reason is because the mainstream media, where he gets his news, is in the pocket of the socialists/progressives who embrace same-sex marriage. The mainstream media (CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC) gave the phenomenon minimal coverage.

Dad was surprised to learn that all who oppose same-sex marriage are branded bigots and haters by his beloved Democratic Party and the mainstream media. Dad said he does not hate or judge anyone. However, the Bible says homosexuality is wrong. He must stand on the Word of God.

You can read the whole post here.

Now, really, you gonna call a black gentleman who happens to be a conservative Christian “racist” too?

Isn’t that kind of … I don’t know, maybe intolerant of you?
