Well, it's been a While Since I Last Posted.   I haven't been able to access the blog.  Maybe I will try to use this blog again,  I guess we will see.  Townhall doesn't seem very interested in these blogs anymore so few may be even able to find it.  

But this year will be interesting, so I may try to post again.   I hope we will be electing a new president.  Its been a rough couple of years and a second Obama term will not be good for anybody.

These idiot liberal Democrats are now trying to spin this Standard and Poor downgrade of the federal government credit rating on,,,,,,,,
the TEA PARTY!!!!

What!   The tea party?   Since when and how could it be the fault of the tea party?    They aren't the government.   They aren't even a political party (yet).     The Democrats are,  they control the Judicial,  Executive and half of the Legislative branches!   This happened on BARRY'S watch,  the Democrats watch,  the liberal watch.   That's how history will record it. 

Had they listened to the tea party this wouldn't have happened.  They have been warning of it since the beginning of the tea party.  

If you think this is the fault of the tea  party,,,,,,  frankly you are an idiot and a moron. 

This downgrade is the BARRY OBAMA DOWNGRADE!   Is it 2013 yet?

Why is that they never talk about what it will actually take to stop the increasing the debt?

We presently spend about double the incoming money (2 trillion collected- 4 trillion spent). That means we really need to cut 2 trillion from JUST THIS YEARS SPENDING. Not over 10 years, not over 5 years. JUST THIS YEAR.  Just to balance this years spending vs what is this year's income.    

That only stops the debt from increasing. It does nothing to reduce the 14 trillion or more on the credit card already.  And you have to do it every year to make sure it doesn't start up again. 

How anyone can try to make this out to be anything but a spending problem,,,,,, is absolutely clueless!!!!!!

Until we cut over half of what is spent, the crisis will continue.

There is no revenue problem. In spite of a serious recession-depression, the IRS is still collecting 2 trillion. Why can't we live on 2 trillion?

Or better yet  1 trillion.   The other trillion could go to debt reduction.     Even at this rate it would take at least 15 years to pay off the debt we have already.  

The reality is that we have little money for anything but defense and debt reduction.     You never hear this either.   Forget about something like Social Security.    Nobody really wants to do what it is really going to be necessary when there is no other choice.   That sounds dire because it is.

Since there is no front runner yet for the Republican primary, here is a few things I would like to see in a candidate.     I think not having a early frontrunner isn't a big deal,  we just need to make a better choice this time.   The so called "moderate" McCain got us no moderates and made conservatives stay home.  We cannot allow another RINO give Barry a second term.   Our future depends on Barry not having a second term.    I cannot afford to have Obama there for a full eight years, I know you can't either.   Yes, its that important!

Here is my list. 
 
One that doesn't care what the lamestream media thinks.   Most  Republicans seem to go out of their way to please these jokers and what does it get them?   Nothing.   Republican candidates just have to forget about that bunch, they aren't your friends, they aren't going to vote for you no matter what.   Basically who cares what they say or think, they are going to get it wrong no matter how many times you tell them.   Luckily there aren't that many of them so losing them as voters isn't a big deal.  They aren't worth the effort.   Just have good answers for their lies.  

One that will not be crowed by the b^#@#$*& from the Obama campaign and their lamestream lackeys.   They are going to lay it on thick this time,  as they get cornered on their record.   The Obama regimes  record is terrible so all they can do is attack your character and compare you with Hitler.    Take being called a racist,  a nazi, backwards trilobite as a source  of pride.   That means they got nothing on ya.  

One that doesn't have skeletons in the closet.  They will be found.   You aren't Obama,  where they won't look for anything bad (or anything for that matter).   You don't get a pass.   Have a clean nose. 

One that does do something about voter fraud.    This is one of the biggest failings of the 2008 election.   The Bush administration  did virtually nothing to stop the widespread election fraud committed by ACORN.    Now the Obama regime will do even less, nothing in fact (and call you a racist to boot) and ACORN is even more hidden (its broken up into thousands of little separate organizations)  this time so the fraud will be even worse this time.    I really don't know what a candidate is going to do to stop fraud,  even putting it in the light of day isn't going to stop it, the lamestream media will bury it (again). 

OK, that's enough with the stupid media nonsense that comes with a "modern" election , here's some of the real issues. 


Pro-Life:   The candidate has to be pro-life.   It may not be the biggest issue this time around, abortion still is a hot issue no matter.   Why is it important.   Simple answer,  Supreme Court justices.    Barry has unfortunately  gotten to replace two old liberals with young liberals.  We cannot allow the so called "moderate" justice (who votes anti-life most of the time) be replaced with a full time liberal.   It would be bad enough for a Democrat to install another liberal,  it would be worse for a Republican to do so. 

Constitutional Supreme Court picks:  Only constitutional justices should be picked.   One for the reason above,  but the "living" constitution that the liberals believes in,  has caused some major problems.    Citing foreign laws or making up new "rights" are some examples of that nonsense.   The biggest danger is allowing Obama to replace Justice Kennedy (or one of the conservatives). 

Downsizing the Federal government:   It just has to be done.   It has been growing at enormous rates lately,  but its been growing far too much for the last eight decades.   It is taking our liberty (and hard earned cash) and we just can't afford it.   Plus we don't even need it.   Return things to the states or better yet just get rid of many things that should never have been to begin with.    The goal of the Republican party should include  as a plank (since no one president is going to be able to do it at once) ,  downsizing the federal government to about a quarter of the size of what it is today.   Reagan was the only president to make a dent in the growth of the federal government and he was only able to slow it.   It needs to stop growing.   That may have to be the goal of the next couple of Republican presidents.  

Economic growth:    Obama policies have ensured there is little to no growth.    Taxes and regulations have to be rolled back.   Many industries have so many rules and regulations that have nothing to do with safety and purity  (the original reasons for regulations).   Outside of those reasons there are few reasons for any rules from the government.   It just drives up costs and doesn't do anybody any good.     The poor economy is the issue that will likely cost Barry his second term, because even some who otherwise wouldn't vote Republican, would.   Hammer him relentlessly on this issue.   He has nothing to defend himself on this issue.  Don't let him blame Bush anymore,  its his problem now,  and it is his fault its not getting better.

Taxes:  Government has to live on a budget, just like everybody else.    Therefore the government has to learn to live on far less, as the rest of us has learned to do.  The candidate must be firm on not creating or raising any taxes. 

Energy Policy:  The policy we have been stuck with hasn't done us any good.   We would be better off with nothing.    Its time to produce most of our energy at home.   Its become clear we have far more energy reserves within our own borders so let us develop our own energy industry.   It will provide real,  good and high paying jobs for millions.   Plus we don't have to send money to people who don't like us even though we made them rich.   We need a pro-America energy policy.  

No more Subsidies  for big crony businesses and "green" energy:  No auto, bank,  bail outs.   No money for green technologies that don't work or that are clearly niches.  As long as there is government money  to be had the invention that makes some of that stuff  work won't be found.   Profit motive works far better. 

There is more,  I will write that at a later date.

In one word: No.

Sorry if you don't like that or have a hard time accepting it.

If Washington DC was actually interested in balancing the budget, the cuts would involve a number with a T in it. Since it isn't, and may not even have a number with a B in it. Its not interested in stopping spending. It would rather drive off the cliff. Most government employees and politicians really don't believe the government could go bankrupt and be insolvent. I was reading a liberal board the other day, and they had a thread documenting how they believed the US government could never go bankrupt. Impossible they say!!! They are so delusional on the subject, they just don't believe it could run out of money. (Never mind it really is broke already).

The only ones interested in stopping the spending are the Tea Party people in the Republican party. No Democrats and most of the Republicans aren't.

We will have to drive off the cliff to solve it, none of these little cuts will do it (not that we shouldn't do the little cuts, because it will be lots of little cuts that will do a good part of doing it). Unfortunately that is going to be much harder on folks because it will happen suddenly. Imagine one day when Social Security goes away because the Fed cannot borrow anymore. Imagine the day the military misses payroll. That is going to happen if we don't stop spending money we do not have.

That's why it needs to be done now, before this crisis become a disaster. So people can make other plans.  People are going to learn the hard way that they cannot depend on the government.     We can solve this problem the hard way or we can solve it the REALLY HARD WAY.    It seems we are going to have to do it the really hard way. 

We can do the easy cuts now, like cutting PBS and NPR.  Yes, those are easy cuts, that's a couple hundred million with just those two.   Phase in the harder ones over a little more time (the reason for not waiting anymore).  

I think if Congress were serious about spending,  it would cut the full 1.5 trillion deficit (just THIS years overspending) for this year alone.    Things need to stay cut too,  PBS should never get funded again.    The debt ceiling shouldn't be raised no matter what either.    No spending can occur without the ability to float debt.   Remember the Feds borrow 40% of what gets spent.   That's why we cannot afford Obamacare,  why Medicare and SS have to change fundamentally. 

I am glad there have been some cuts.   However its a drop in the bucket.   Its not even 1%.  Its a start, but its not even a down payment.  

I think the debt bomb could take down the federal government from within.    Yes, its that serious a problem.   With all the challenges in the world today, the last thing the world needs is a powerless USA.    We cannot have a military,  arguably the most important federal function, without cash.    Even if we pulled out of everywhere,  we still need to defend our own borders.

There are quite a few liberal myths that people today take as facts.   They have been repeated over and over so many times that many think they are the truth.   

However how many times does it have to be repeated to make it true?

Doesn't matter,  its still a myth.  And it still untrue.  



Some political myths.

Obama used one in his "energy" speech today.  The 2% oil reserves myth (as is, that the US only has 2% of the worlds oil reserves).   The idea with this myth is that even if you would drill for more oil here, it won't help the energy crisis much.   

Why they use this myth.

Liberals don't really want any energy development in the US.   That even includes their favored "energy sources" like wind and solar (solar panels and windmills are ugly and in my view at Cape Cod).   So forget about oil and nuclear (nuclear is no more popular with liberal lately then it was before, they will always hate it).  

The reality.   The oil companies have found huge amounts of oil in the US (and Canada as well) recently.   There are now known oil reserves that are larger then most of the Middle East reserves.   We simply need to drill for it.

The problem:   Will there be the political will on the part of rest of the US to actually end this energy embargo that the liberals have placed on US energy production?   I hope so, as we need the high paying jobs in the US that energy business provides.   Plus we will slow the the financing of the Islamic terror when we buy less oil from the middle east.   Oil is the only source of income for most of the Middle East,  cutting it defunds terrorists.  

SIde note Myth.   Peak OIl.  

This one is pure nonsense.   There are hundreds of years of conventual energy left.    We easily have four hundred year of coal alone.   There is far more oil then we ever thought.   Solar and WInd are niche energy sources that waste billions of tax payer dollars.    They will never be the main source of energy ever.   We just have to recover the energy.   It would really help end the current depression that seems to have no end.   

Myth 2 Global Warming (recently renamed Climate Change)

There are so many things wrong with "Global Warming" .    I have never seen any good info on if something like this could even happen.  It seems so highly doubtful.   That's why its so hard to fight it, because the target keeps changing when the "nightmares" don't happen.    They even have to change the name due to it being really cold the last couple of years.   It's telling that few weathermen (and women) on TV talk about global warming because most don't believe it either.  

They talk about conservatives having no science but I have seen no science at work here either.  

Global Warming is a scam on a such a huge scale it's unbelievable.  
 

Myth 3

Cutting or ending social programs will make people starve and force people onto the street. 

Like social programs are actually really helping people!

Of course ending social programs will not make people starve and make people homeless.   In fact returning social programs to private charity and organizations will help people better and at a lower cost (not just financial) to society.   That's the way it was done before, and it worked far better then government.   It was only taken from those groups to increase government power not to actually help people.   It should be returned to those groups. 

Helping people is in fact too important to be left to government.   We do a disservice  to people to throw them at the jaws of an uncaring government.    Government can never "care" about people, no matter how much the people who work there may care.    Many people in those government groups clearly don't care, and only want to protect their jobs at our expense. 

Myth 4 History is loaded with Liberal myths. 

My biggest is that Hitler was a man of the right.   Total nonsense.    The nazis were a socialist party, which can only be on the left.  There are no right wing socialists.    Yes, they and the communists didn't get along, but who cares?   They both had the same goals and mostly the same methods for getting there.    They both killed hundreds of millions.  The Nazis used rich people instead of killing therm.   That may be the biggest difference. 

Another liberal myth is that Democrats are the biggest supporter of civil rights.    They can't be more wrong.   A black person would have never been a Democrat in the decades after the civil war.   Blacks didn't vote for Democrats in large numbers until the 1930's.   Before that they didn't even want their votes.    The change is one of the best snow-jobs of the 20th century.  The Republicans wanted to do civil rights in the 1860's but the DEMOCRATS delayed it to the 1960's.   Even in the 1960's more Republicans voted for civil rights then Democrats.   Al Gore Sr voted against Civil RIghts.   So did JFK when he was in Congress.  Bull Conner was a Democrat.   The KKK was founded by Democrats.   Democrat Senator Byrd was a member of the KKK.    Martin Luther KIng was NEVER a Democrat.   Up until the 1950's Civil right leaders were never Democrats.     They couldn't be.

As I sit here at about one AM (central time) most of the returns are in.   There are a few left,  so there may be a few changes.  Illinois  and  Colorado Governors,  Alaska and Colorado Senators are a few left.  

Overall it was a good election for Republicans.   The love affair with Obama is largely over for the majority of Americans.  The liberal tide has been stopped for now.  America's gamble with Obama and his minions has been a failure in spite of a pretty big Democrat majority in Congress for his first two years.    An advantage he has no longer.  At least in the House, though the Senate will remain by a small margin Democrat.  Hopefully the movement will continue in the direction of Republicans in 2012.   I was hoping the Senate would change hands tonight but it isn't going to happen until 2012.   Maybe that isn't so bad,  it will continue to be harder for Obama to blame Republicans.  But most of his agenda can be blocked now.  

The biggest story is the House where it is looking like Republicans have taken about 65 seats from the Democrats.  It is better then most pundits have been predicting so that is good news for Republicans.   No it wasn't 100 but it wasn't 30 either.  A good showing.  The House elections shows that the nation wants something different.   The Senate was always going to be long shot in 2010,  the fewer amount of open seats makes changing it harder.    It should be easier to pick it up in 2012 along with the White House.   

The second part of the story is the Governors races.   Republicans will take at least 10 governor seats back.   Michigan will be free of the nitwit that they have had for a governor finally.  Illinois is still up in the air,  but hopefully Brady has pulled it off and unseated Quinn.   Will see tomorrow.   

Even though the Senate wasn't won tonight,  it looks like about 8 seats are Republican again.   The most ironic one is the Senate seat in Illinois that Obama briefly held.  Indiana finally has two Republican Senators.   It  looks like Pennsylvania is going the right way. The biggest win is Rubio in Florida.   

The biggest disappointment for me today is Harry Reid.   I was really looking forward to send him packing.  I really thought Angle was going to win that one.  Hopefully the voter fraud didn't change the outcome.  

I weep for California.   What is so fundamentally wrong there?    Jerry Brown?  Are you kidding me?  Barbara Boxer another term??  These are the folks that got California in the mess its in.   When California hits bottom its going to really hurt.   That bottom hasn't happened yet and I don't know what will make it hit bottom finally.   The state is so broke,  people are fleeing,  business climate is about the worst there is,  but yet they reelect Boxer and return the moonbeam to the governors office after a couple of decades.    The rest of the country is going to pay big to fix California someday and the bill is going to be even BIGGER then it is now.   Brown will tax and spend like nothing is wrong.   This is probably the worst news of this election.   

Since I live in Indiana,  I will comment on it.

Overall state wide the elections were quite good.   The property tax cap (1% for first home, 2% on rentals and farms, 3% on business and other investment property) passed overwhelmingly and will become part of the Indiana Constitution.   It will prevent fast increases in property taxes in Indiana and require that towns go to the voters for tax increases for big projects.   It will help areas like Gary, if the state doesn't allow them to evade it (like they are trying to do).   It will insure that it will no longer have way higher taxes then the towns around it.   Wish Mayor Clay would believe that, but he has a different agenda.  

Republicans retook the Indiana House and increased its majority in the Indiana Senate to super-majority.    It should really help Governor Mitch Daniel's pro-business,  pro-growth agenda in his final two years in office.  Indiana has done much better in the great recession with Daniels in office then all of the rest of the midwest combined.   Indiana is looking better everyday.  

I wish I could say the same locally here in Northwest Indiana.   The people of Northwest Indiana have a lot of good qualities like hardworking  blue collar ethics etc.   But their bad habits in the voting booth continue to be a source of frustration for this writer.    They are too much like California in this regard.   In spite of  the Democrats totally screwing the area with its party machine,  the local voters go back for more. In spite of a scandal and being listed as one of the most corrupt in the country  Rep. Visclosky was re-elected to his 14th term in the House!  One bright spot though,  Republican Hanks Adams won the Lake County assessor's office.  He is the first Republican to win a countywide office in 60, yes 60 years!   So you see what is going on here for far too long.   

Now the story will be how the Republicans handle the House and how Obama reacts to the new reality.   Will the Republican finally learn and listen to the tea party conservative majority?   Will they go back to their old ways?  And more importantly what will Obama do?  Will he continue to ignore reality and still govern from the left or will he pull a Clinton and move more to the middle to save his own job?

The next two years will be very interesting, to say the least.   But I think the worst is now past.

I just hope we aren't setting ourselves up for a disappointment, even if the results are pretty good. When people are throwing around ideas that Republicans can win 100 new seats in the house,  what happens if only 50 are won?  We cannot allow Democrats to minimize this election if 100 seats aren't won.    We should be happy the direction of the voters has shifted away from the Democrats finally.  It was difficult to watch the elections of 2006 and 2008 because they didn't need to happen the way they did.

But even if Republicans win pretty big on Tuesday, the majority won't be very big.  This election is just the warm-up for 2012.  Democrats will be more ready in 2012 once the shock of this year is over.  They will be more ready then, as fewer will ignore that Obamacare (and Obama himself) has cost them big.  

A poster at another website  has a very good point too,  in all to many cases we are only taking back what should be Republican seats all the time.  In a lot of cases we will be getting rid of the few conservatives left in the Democrat party!  Why is it that not so conservative Democrats can win and hold on to (in some cases a very long time)a seat in a Republican state?  Why has there been a Democrat senator (Evan Bayh) from a red state like Indiana for so long (thankfully that will be over this time) when a not that conservative Republican like Scott Brown are quite rare in blue states like Massachusetts?

The party needs to lock down more Republican states like the Democrats have in their states.  So we don't have to keep re-wining the same areas over and over.   We will never have any success at chipping away at their states if we have to defend areas that should never be in play.

Republicans will someday have to battle for the voters that the Democrats take for granted. We need to break this vote for the Democrat automatic disease in urban areas and the working class.  How, I don't know, since Democrats haven't helped urban areas or working people  ever, but yet control the declining cities and unions year after year.

Other wise we will continue to have elections like this one where power shifts from one party to the other getting us nowhere, making the country weaker and weaker as time goes on.    The battle needs to move to Democrat dominated areas of the country and they need to be won,  but we have to lock down solid Republicans as well and keep them that way. 

Otherwise there will never be a generation of Conservative dominated federal government and no reform.  Its clear that the Democrats don't wish that the country get better.   So they have to go.

Barry was on the "The Daily Show" the other day (guess he didn't get the memo that sitting presidents don't appear on "entertainment" shows but that is a different story).   One of the things that came up was Obamacare.  Not a surprise, since Obama thinks its significant.   Obama would probably like the idea of calling it historic since these types of things end up defining a presidency.   And Barry the narcissist that he is,  would love that. 

But is it.

Not really.

Its just another bad "progressive" piece of junk in an all too long line of unfortunately done laws that liberals have stuck us with.

So what could make it historic? 

Obamacare could be historic if it is the first major law overturned to restore liberties to the people of the U.S.   That would make it historic.   It's place in history certainly wouldn't be the way that Obama would want it to be seen in history, or the way he thinks it will be seen. 

Imagine the repeal of Obamacare being the first in a line of other laws shown to the door of history.   If we can finally turn the tide of ever growing government back to what the founders saw as the ideal U.S. government.  One that was very small that doesn't become the giant that threatens the liberty of us all.   The one where citizen legislators are the majority, instead of career politicians.  Ones to go to Washington to get rid of unneeded laws instead of going to create new ones.   Ones that want to put the power back into the hands of the citizens instead of some overpaid government employee. 

Could we have this?

I think we can.  And it starts on Nov. 2!

Get out there and vote the bums out!!!

Since its about 15 days from the last 800 of the Obama regime, its important to discuss what the policies of the next president should be.  

Since we as Americans probably want about the complete opposite of Barry,  what are some of those things. 

Respect for life.  Liberals and Democrats (and Obama) have a terrible record on respect for life.   The support for abortion,  the support of the wrong answers for end of life issues,  support for embryonic stem cell "research" cannot be worse for them.    Unfortunately Republicans can be wishy washy on life issues at times,  so having them in office doesn't always put life first.  Life issues has been a small part of this election due to the lousy economy.   Conservatives have to keep Republicans feet to the fire on this issue.    Democrats are always against life, and keep the few that do respect life are kept from the spotlight.     A pro-life president is needed more then ever. 

Understanding the Proper Role of the Federal Government.    This issue has been brewing for decades with no sign of ending.   Unfortunately we generally have been going the wrong way on this issue for far too long.   It seems the only time the huge growth of government was slowed was the Reagan years.   And it only slowed it a little coming nowhere close to being it to a stop.  Neither of the President Bush's slowed government and no Democrats are interested in the job.  The growth of government must be stopped and then reversed.   Billions of dollars must be prevented from being spent  and thousands of federal agencies have to be defunded and ended.   It has to go much further then just defunding NPR.    The new president must direct Congress to send him a budget that is far smaller then today and provide no money for thousands of federal agencies.   The federal government must get out of health care, education and housing completely. 

Restore the Constitution.    Takes ups from the last point.   The federal government has only a few jobs.   It must be put back to those few things.  One of them is the National Defense.  Both the military and border defense.    The only increase in any government spending must be defense.   The president must install federal  judges (at all levels, not just the Supreme Court) that believe in the constitution as written, not the "living" constitution that liberals think exist.  

Getting the Tax Code in Order.   High taxes and far too many rules  hurt the economy more then just about anything.   It is the biggest reason that jobs get sent of the country.   The reason why this recession is lasting so long is largely due to business being frozen in place because they do not know what the government is going to do next.   And when the do, its almost always the wrong thing making business even harder and less profitable.    A simple flat tax or the fair tax must replace income, business and investment taxes (and the IRS).   No more tax breaks for politicians favored companies and people.  

Privatizing Charity and Social Services.  One of the biggest mistakes of having the big government is charity and social services.   The government has failed for the most part at both.   The private sector once did those things and had no problem doing them.   Why did that change,,,,only because some people thought they knew better.    So the government took over  more of it, and destroyed it and the people it was supposted to help.   It should be returned to the people.   

Running the Remaining Parts of Government.   The remaining employees of the federal government must understand they are public servants and they are not going to have higher pay and benefits then the private sector.    All pay must be least 20% less then the private sector, and benefits need to lowered to a affordable level.    It should be easier to fire bad employees.   And the biggest one.   They should be prohibited from joining unions.   No public employee should be a member of a union or be allowed to strike.   If one wants to be "rich" don't work for the government. 

Of course no one president is going to be able to do all those things.   But we need a president that will set the nation on that path.   President Reagan gave us an idea how an America like that could be.   We need a new era that puts the American people first instead of its federal government.    It could be a great thing.  America is an amazing nation and we need to end the things that make it decline.   Liberalism has been a horrible experiment that needs to end.

Well,  there are 900 days left of the Obama Regime (barring somehow he gets reelected, but with politics and his unbelievable good luck one cannot rule it out).  

He will be running for reelection the minute the House and Senate return to Republican control.   I am a little worried that Republican control of Congress does increase Obama's reelection chances.   What do people think of that?   Or has he been Jimmy Cartered enough already to preclude a second term? 

Or is he going to continue to ignore the Clinton years or will he learn and inch away from the left?   So far he hasn't learned from that.   That worried me at the beginning that he would be able to avoid the major problems of the first two years of Clinton.   Thankfully that didn't come to pass as Obama's first two years have been even more rocky then Clintons!

It seems he is a very committed ideologue, that hopefully will lead to his downfall.   Clinton learned to work with Republican at least a little.   Obama doesn't seem capable of it, preferring his way or the highway method (notice how the lamestream media never notes that for Obama: only G.W. Bush was labeled with that).   Republicans will chose the highway because that turns out to be the better choice.   I think they need  to isolate him the final two years so he cannot do more damage.   Its better to do nothing then allow his agenda to advance any more.   Even if it means the conservative agenda doesn't move much either. 

He thinks he has done much,  but Obamacare will not last long.   Its unpopular, and more importantly the vast majority of it is unconstitutional.   Hopefully the end of it will be sooner rather then later.   Unfortunately many will lose their jobs as companies tighten their belts with the new taxes and regulations for this so called "reform".   Not that much can be done to stop that damage even with Republican control of Congress.   Obama will veto any rollbacks on it until he is out of office.

But one day, a great day for America, will be the day he leaves office for good.  

I have wondered what Obama will do after he leaves office.   He will be a thorn in the side of any Republican president that has to undo the damage his  presidency has caused this country.    He will be an annoying pest who will not want to leave the limelight.   I wonder if he will run for office,  like his old Senate seat (which he really never sat in much).   That seems like a possible thing, since that is the only thing he is good at.   Yeah, he will run for something.  Especially if he loses in 2012,  I would see him trying again for a second term in 2016.   He is just arrogant enough to try.

Thankfully the Supreme Court came down on the side of the Constitution this time.   Far too often the Supreme Court rules against it.   Too bad it took nearly 30 years to strike down this very out in the open, clearly unconstitutional law. 

Unfortunately local governments can and do overstep their bounds just like the federal and  states governments do on a regular basis.    The creeping overreach is particularly bad in large cities and the counties they are in.   They become so large themselves that they seek to do more and more.  Even though they can't do what they are supposed to be doing very well.

Gun Bans are what results.  In the warped sense of reality that liberals think things are, it makes all kinds of sense.    The real reality is a different story however.  Disarming private citizens do nothing to keep weapons from the hands of the criminal element.    Now criminals know the law abiding don't have guns, and have free reign over huge areas of the city.   Why do you think mass shootings happen in places like schools because most ban guns.   Same principal.  The police cannot be everywhere and have little interest in some neighborhoods.  

So the lawlessness grows rather then ending.   The few that keeps their guns become "criminals" due to having their weapons,  and get charged when they have to use them. 

But the big issue is: gun bans are unconstitutional.   Its is as plain as it can get.   The government has no right to disarm private citizens.   It should have never been.   This was known in 1982 as well as 2010 but ignored.  Plus the city knew it would lose,  Washington DC's gun ban was stuck down as well.

Mayor Daley hasn't learned this lesson yet.   The city quickly came up with a new gun control law that's just as unconstitutional as the gun ban.   It's designed to make gun ownership as hard and expensive as possible.   Yes, gun owners should be responsible for their weapons,  but the city shouldn't have any regulatory authority over private weapons.   It really doesn't increase safety at all.   The state has plenty of laws already.    Having nit-picky regulations is confusing and hard to comply with.   Knowing the laws of every city one passes through is impossible.   Thats why its at the state level.    Unfortunately most states have too many laws,  many of which are themselves unconstitutional.   

I am all for local control.   Most of the time its a better solution for most things,  the feds and the states rarely have the right solutions.   However it seems to give some license to "do-good" in things government has no right to be involved in.    Gun bans and control isn't the business of a city or town government.    They need to stick to things like filling potholes.    If they would stick with the basic things maybe the big problems like high crime would have never come around.

"It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job.

It's a depression when you lose your job.

It's a recovery when Barry loses his!"

Isn't anything sacred anymore?   Happy Meal Toys Could Be Banned in California County.  

WHY?

Most counties are incapable of filling potholes properly.   Why are they thinking they need to regulate HAPPY MEALS!
