Where Do We Go From Here?

Being conservative in LA is like wearing a meat jacket in a shark tank. One must be very careful what you say outloud if you don't want to judged, chastised or straight assaulted. Not that I couldn't handle it, after all they're just hippies. I was at a Shabbos dinner the other night which featured a guest speaker Malcolm Hoenlein who is the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations talking about how we needed to stop sitting on the sidelines and get in the game. The game he spoke of was sitting on our hands while Iran gets closer and closer to a nuclear weapon. Of course this involved speaking harshly of Obama, muslims and liberalism, which on;y went over so so with the crowd. The speaker did try to tip toe around direct accusations and blaming but we all knew what he was saying.

Diplomatic negotiations with Iran will fail. George Bush tried this with N. Korea, he said America (& the UN) wouldn't tolerate a nuclear NK and sent all sorts of "firm letters". Sanctions will fail. They were useless as well, Kim Jong-Il just starved the people in order to pay for his weapons program. All the hemming and hawing got us was a nuclear armed N. Korea. Sound familiar? This is the same exact situation with a much more threatening bad guy. Ahmadinejad is no pudgy dictator with a love of classic American movies. He HATES us, he HATES Israel and he speaks often of wiping us both out. Joking aside, this is no time for more diplomatic negotiations.

This leaves us with very few options; 1) We can shake our fist with empty threats until Tel Aviv (or New York or Los Angeles) is wiped off the map, then be forced to respond with massive action. 2) We can stop trying to tie Israel's hands, they have done a fine job of keeping both Iraq and Syria out of the nuclear world. Not to mention they are our ONLY real ally in the Middle East and deserve our support. 3) We can take care of it ourselves, I know it's not PC and the liberals will piss and moan, but what are they really gonna do? They're just hippies.

I asked Mr.Hoenlin about characters like George Soros, and he told me we have to call people like him out on their undermining of progress. Warren Buffet, Jeff Immelt and Richard Trumka all need to be brought into the light so their deeds can be seen by all and put to the American people to decide whether we follow them deeper into hell or start climbing out.

Just Saying

• You'd think with this being such an important election the republicans would have put up better than Giant Douche (Romney) and Crap Sandwich (Gingrich).

• The White House said that the Ft. Hood massacre was just "Workplace Violence", who are they kidding?

• Mika Brzezinski told Boone Pickens that the $650,000,000 he paid in taxes over the last 13 years isn't enough. "Fair Share" is everything you have and more.

• In his speech a couple days ago Obama pretty much said the United States has never functioned properly, since it birth. Thanks Comrade Obama.

• Speaking of Obama, after a ripping by conservatives, the President decided to postpone his 17 Hawaiian Christmas vacation until Congress decides what to do on the payroll tax holiday. But don't fret FLOTUS is still taking the girls on the 757. 

• Michelle Malkin came up with a great new hash tag for twitter #Evict_____ insert name of worthless government official here. I.e #EvictHolder.

• Michael Savage is offering Newt a million dollars to drop out of the race, and I'm starting to think Newt should take the money.

• Newt did say that the palestinians are an invented people, and I say it's about damn time someone spoke the truth on national TV. 

• While we are on the subject, there are still several rockets a day coming out of Gaza and striking Southern Israel. Yeah that hasn't stopped in months.

• I know there is a lot of controversy around the Muppet Movie, but I've seen it and it's good clean Muppet fun. 

• Of course Sesame Street is a complete loss, their latest character is a "poor, hungry" muppet who talks about how the government can help feed her.

• The same government that hid information about the Chevy Volt's catching on fire because they own Chevy and didn't want to hurt sales.

When 8.6% Is Really 17.2%

I know it's been forever since my last post. I recently moved from Victorville to Los Angeles, I also started a new job. Which is a good thing since I was unemployed for nearly two years  before this. That means by the White House numbers I wasn't looking for work anymore and therefore didn't count towards the unemployment numbers.

Take this week's unemployment change, The number dropped form 9% to 8.6%, now normally that would be great, but the Obama admin skews the number for their own good. Last month 115,000 jobs were added to the overall numbers. Though that in itself in not enough to lower the rate by 0.4, good thing after 99 weeks an additional 320,ooo people are dropped off the list of unemployed with added to the 115k is 435,000 jobs (added) to drop the official unemployed numbers to 13,896,456.

Beyond that fallacy lies an even larger one. The actual number of unemployed is 25,029,907. Every week some more people fall off the "unemployed" list, not because they got jobs but because they "stopped looking". I can tell you the whole two years I was unemployed I never stopped looking. When you add the "stopped looking" people back into the list you get the 17.2% that are actually unemployed.

Obama desperately needs the unemployment numbers under 9%, no president in modern history has been re-elected with unemployment over 8%,  and while 8.6% is over watch the msm they will only acknowledge 8% and push how the great Obama saved the day. Time to take the wool off your eyes, and spread the word. Tell your friends and neighbors not to fall for the administration's illusions.

Don't believe me? Do the math yourself, take the numbers from the debt clock and do the math with the official WH numbers.

They're Coming

Molon Labe,


It should be no surprise to anyone who knows me or regularly reads this blog that I am a gun owner. I believe the 2nd Amendment to be just as important as the first if not more so. (Actually I think the entire Bill of Rights is important and if we lose one amendment the rest will fall like dominoes).  We know that most democrats hate guns, strike that, most democrats hate regular citizens having guns. It is easier to control a disarmed population. When the Obama administration tried some overt gun law action it was trounced and the president told radical left wing activist Sarah Brady about more gun control;  “I just want you to know that we are working on it,” ... “We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar.” So again it is no surprise that he president is backing this U.N. Small Arms Treaty and calling it harmless to everyday Americans. But lets take a closer look, Larry Bell from Forbes put it this way, if the US Senate ratifies this "treaty" it will have the following effect;

• Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.

• Confiscate and destroy all “unauthorized” civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).

• Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single “bang” manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).

• Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.

• In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.

Remember what I said earlier, this is two amendments gone in one harmless treaty. Former UN Ambassador John Bolton has warned 2nd Amendment advocates the the U.N. “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.” Obama has been stacking the deck for gun control in his administration and court picks for a long time. When he said "under the radar" he wasn't kidding. Hillary Clinton, Greg Nickels, Andrew Travers, and the highly anti-gun Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor are just a few of the radical gun control advocates Obama has foisted on us. 

Meanwhile the FBI released the official numbers for crime in 2010 and despite the sales of "evil" guns going up since 2008, the number of gun related crimes had gone down for the fourth straight year. In her new book "Chicks with Guns" author Lindsay McCrum says that 15-20 million women in the US are gun owners and proud. She speaks on the stereotypes attributed to guns and women of all ages, ethnicity and social classes love their guns. It's a unique relationship America has with guns, an amazing freedom where as many people own guns for recreation as those who use them for protection. 

There are many who fear guns, most fear what they do not understand, but our Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they gave us the Constitution. They took rights God bestowed upon us and made clearly available to all. That is the reason why 235 years later America is still the shining example of freedom on this planet. 

"So, as we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed, and especially for you, Mr. Obama*: 'From my cold, dead hands!"                                                                                                     — Charlton Heston, May 20, 2000

Then Came Cain

Editorial note: I know it's been a while since my last post. I have been having technical difficulties and it took too long to get them settled. Thank You for your patience.




Last week the MSM had declared the GOP presidential race a two man race. I never thought so, Herman Cain has always been a front runner to me, and now others are starting to see that politicians are all the same and Cain is no politician. 


In his new autobiography "This Is Herman Cain" (out Oct 4), he talks about ending the cavalcade of stars going through the White House, that alone will save the taxpayers big bucks. He also talks about his fight (and victory) with cancer and how he plans to deal with his lack of foreign policy experience. 


And while the MSM is brushing it off as a nothing story, Cain scored 34% to 39% against Obama in a Rasmussen poll. This is the first time Obama polled below 40%. This bounce could be a fluke, but Cain's 9-9-9 plan seems to be resonating with Americans and like me many are tired of the same old politics as usual. 


Mitt Romney is also still polling high and considered the front runner, but Mitt is the John McCain of 2012. Barely conservative and a you know if the media likes him, that means he's bad news for us. Ultimately I don't know if Herman Cain can secure the republican nomination, but I do know that the election is still over a year away and the front runner this time in 2007 was not John McCain. A lot changes in a year.

10

As I reflect on 9/11/2001, many many things come to mind. Frustration over the site itself, the insignificant structures being built and the despicable mayor bloomberg that didn't allow clergy to the memorial or make enough space for all the First Responders. The lack of heart in the hijackers and their backward religion, if you love death there is no place for you in this world. Sorrow for the lost, the innocent who were just going about their day on a beautiful September morning. Most of all Pride, pride in the Firefighters and Police Officers who went well above and beyond to save people and ultimately sacrifice their own lives. Pride in our Soldiers who for 10 years have tirelessly fought and died so this atrocity would never be repeated, and pride in the People of America who despite a weak leader are standing strong in their values and beliefs. 


This is and will always be a solemn day of remeberance, not of service like Obama would like you to believe, but a day to remember the fallen and the survivors. Most importantly so we never forget and never let it happen again.

I snapped this shot in 1997 from a subway train, it just seemed perfect.

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.

O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward. - Psalm 5

Debate On Debates

So after watching the msnbc GOP debate last night I have a few questions. First I have to point out that Herman Cain is still being largely ignored at all of the debates. Before it was not just Cain getting ignored, Gary Johnson was ignored to the point of disappearing from this debate altogether. Ron Paul was also sidelined at previous debates but last night was given lots of face time. Cain was asked four questions in 2 hours and pushed himself into a couple rebuttal answers. Mostly I blame the media, they have made their choice and it is going to be a two man race from here on out, unless Romney of Perry burn out for some reason. I still say we need to leave the politicians behind and put someone in the White House who knows business and is not a beltway insider.

Now for some questions;

• Why do journalist run these debates? 

• Why not people who know what they are talking about rather than bobble-heads who just read what's in front of them? 

• Why let the media dictate topics and set up the candidates to argue with each other? 

• What will it take to get substantive questions and not lightning round nothingness? 

While the others argue the same "social security is broken" points, Herman Cain lays out a plan for how to fix it. That's what I want form all the candidates, more detailed plans on how they are going to undo the mess Obama has put us in and how they plan to put us back on track.
