No pain no gain

Posted by Brandon O'Neal Wright on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 10:16:45 PM
The nation is waking up, finally! Our two year hibernation as a nation is over and we are starting to get hungry again. The funny thing is that the country wants "CHANGE," again. Isn't it funny that Barack Obama's promise of change has made the nation hungrier for change than it has ever been? A recent Gallup poll, conducted from November the 5th through the 8th showed that forty-eight percent of those polled said that if the Congressional elections were held today they would vote for the Republican candidate. Forty-four percent said that they would vote for the Democrat. Taking it a step further, independent voters, the ones that usually decide an election, would choose the Republican over the Democrat by a fifty-two percent to thirty percent margin. A difference of twenty-two percent among independents! And, despite the billions of dollars that Obama has wasted on the economy, the number one reason for the strong Republican support? The economy! Why is the Republican support such a positive sign this far from the elections? A quick look at last years poll reveals the reason for optimism. Last April, the same poll revealed that the Democrats enjoyed a thirteen point lead over the Republicans during the House congressional elections. The winds of change are blowing hard, America, and we must capitalize on it. We must not sit back on our laurels and enjoy what seems to be an imminent victory. Instead, we must forge ahead and continue to expose the corrupt, socialist fraud that has hijacked our nation. We must continue to educate our friends, family and neighbors to make sure that this type of hysteria does not happen again. We must, never again, accept the fact that certain media outlets do not require answers to questions that must be asked prior to the American people voting for a politician. Barack Obama promised us change, and in doing so, he did not lie. He is trying to change the country alright, but thank God the American people are largely resisting the change. I think, maybe naively, that the American people have realized the change that they need. It's not a change of our fundamental beliefs or ideology, but rather a change of the lunatics that are running our country. We have paid a price for our ignorance of the past several years. In fact, we may pay an even bigger price before the next election cycle rolls around. But, as the old saying goes, no pain no gain, right? A long term conservative movement that brings our country back to where the founders intended it to be would be well worth the circus that we have had to endure for the past year! When the 2010 congressional elections roll around, if all goes as planned, we will all owe the Obama- Pelosi extreme regime a genuine thank you for awaking the American people. Although we, as a nation, may not have the greenest grass in the neighborhood, it is still the yard with the least amount of dog crap in it!

Does this guy understand his job description?

Posted by Brandon O'Neal Wright on Monday, November 09, 2009 10:16:20 PM
The point of this article is simple. I want an explanation. Sounds pretty simple doesn't it? I do not want to argue, here, just give two stories and ask for an explanation of President Obama's comments.
      James Crowley, a police academy expert on racial profiling, responds to a home burglary call. Upon arrival at the house, Sergeant Crowley carefully walks up to the front door, thinking that he is on the doorstep of a house that is hiding a criminal. Did Sergeant Crowley drive to this house just because he needed something to pass the time? Of course not! He drove to this house and walked to the door because a neighbor called the police to report a burglary. Sergeant Crowley was honoring his call of duty. When Henry Gates showed up at the front door, Sergeant Crowley asked to see his identification. Gates refused. Sergeant Crowley asked Mr. Gates to step outside so that the two of them could talk. How did Gates respond? By telling the officer that he would "Talk to your mamma outside." Probably something that a rational human being would not say to a police officer. Crowley arrested Gates for disorderly conduct, part of which was because of the refusal to show his identification. Any normal person would agree that Sergeant Crowley did not do anything out of line. He responded to a call from a neighbor, walked to the door, was approached by an irrational man and was forced to arrest this person because of their eratic behavior. Mr. Crowley was doing his job. However, "President" Obama disagrees. He said, and I quote, ""I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry," he went on to say that "Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home." Mr. Obama, you see, jumped to a conclusion. He was not there the night of the incident, but he still felt the need to interject his own personal feelings and beliefs.
      Story number two is a recent happening. Fort Hood Texas is the home of  an Army military base. Last week, an Army psychiatrist by the name of  Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire, killing 13 American soldiers and civilians and wounded 29 others. The shooter was a Muslim who had openly criticized the United States and had, according to the CIA, tried to reach out to individuals associted with Al Qaeda. Hasan expressed, openly, that he thought suicide bombers were justified in their actions. A mentally sane person would surely come to the conclusion that an American hating individual should not be allowed into any branch of the military. In fact, if you hate America, you should not even be allowed to stay in the country. Don't like it here? Leave! A sane American would draw the conclusion that trying to reach out to Al Qaeda just weeks before you shoot to death 13 people and wound 29 others on a military base would, in fact, be a terrorist attack. However, President Obama disagrees. Just the other day, President Obama said that American's should not "jump to conclusions." What? Are you kidding me? The commander in Chief, you know, the man IN CHARGE of the Army says that Americans should not jump to conclusions about an American hating murderer who killed 13 troops and nearly killed another 29? Is this really where we are at as a nation? Have we really reached a point where our leader, the President of the United States, can criticize a police sergeant for doing their job and even call the police department "stupid," but won't let the American people jump to the conclusion that says a man with hatred for America in their heart that kills 13 troops on a military base is a terrorist? Do we really value the feelings of those with violence against America as their goal above honest American's just trying to do their jobs? For this, I would like an educated explanation. I have a feeling that I will be waiting for awhile. To you I say, answer me please. To "President" Obama I say wow, you never cease to suprise me with your ignorant arrogance and stupidity. To the families of those who lost a loved one at Fort Hood last week, America mourns your loss. We are sorry for what you have endured and are sorry for the embarassment the President has bestowed upon you and America.

Alone at the gate

Posted by Brandon O'Neal Wright on Thursday, November 05, 2009 9:41:06 PM

I just don't understand it. Why is it that every time the government tries to get involved in something they have to go against everything that the majority of Americans stand for? Why is it that the national consensus only matters if the national consensus agrees with the particular government intervention that is being called for? Take the issue of national health care. Tucked deep inside of this bill, page 110 of section 222 to be exact, there is a clause that states abortion will be allowed under the proposed government run health care plan. Did you know that? Whether you agree with the right to an abortion or not will not be argued here. There is an underlying issue that must be brought into the light of day. I know, I know, our politicians aren't used to doing things in the daylight where everyone can see what's happening, but bear with me for a moment. Under this Pelosi backed bill, everyone who is enrolled in the government health care plan, and we all know that eventually everyone will be financially forced into it through unbearable tax rates on private policies, everyone will pay an abortion premium! Don't believe me? Think I am some crazy right wing zealot? Read page 96, line 16, section 213. It's right there for all to see. The problem is nobody's looking!! Everytime that an individual sends a check to good ol' Uncle Sam for their health care premiums, the government sets aside a portion of that premium for abortions. That absolutely makes my stomach churn!! By doing this, the government is telling you that they do not care about your individual ideology or morals. They don't care if you think that abortion is a sin or immoral, you are still going to fund it via your tax dollars. This is a perfect example of why we have got to make sure that government stays as far away from our personal lives as possible. As citizens of the United States, we do enough to damage our moral standing in the world. Do we really need the governments help in that arena? I think not. When it boils right down to it, I would rather quit my job and live under the nearest overpass, as long as there is an IHOP nearby, than send my tax dollars to Uncle Sam so that he can help pay for something that I find to be unacceptable. Read the bill people, and call your Senators and Representatives! You will realize, when you take the time to read it, that you are being asked to pay for things that you alone will have to answer for later, and the government will not be standing at that gate with you!!

You better wake up Washington!!

Posted by Brandon O'Neal Wright on Monday, November 02, 2009 9:52:29 PM
Tomorrow is a big day! The first elections since the Obama administration took over will occur on November the third and could signal the first signs of life from a nation that is finally waking up to the political fraud that is happening inside the beltway. This could not be illustrated better than the race that is heating up for an upstate New York congressional seat. The race started with two choices. The Democratic incumbant, Bill Ownes, and the "Republican" challenger, Dede Scozzafava. But then something interesting happened. A local businessman by the name of Doug Hoffman put his name on the ballot. He has no political carreer, but was unimpressed with the choices that were being offered. He saw no distinct difference between the Democratic and Republican options. The Republican party was quick to attack Hoffman and his small band of followers, saying that Scozzafava was the best option that Republican voters would have come election day. Hoffman remained positive and determined. After Hoffman secured the support of Sarah Palin and Fred Thompson, two Republican heavyweights, Scozzafava dropped out of the race. What she did next clearly illustrates the point that Hoffman was making when he put his name on the ballot. Scozzafava threw her support to the Democrat!! This was a clear example of what has happened in Washington. The Democratic and Republican parties have become one in the same. There is no distinction between the two anymore. Out of control spending is no longer solely a Democrat problem. The disease has entangled both parties. In most elections you have a choice between the socialist (the democratic nominee) or the progressive (the Republican nominee.) Luckily for the voters in New York, there is another option this year, the Conservative Doug Hoffman. If Hoffman manages to win a congressional seat in one of the most liberal states in the nation, it will signal, at last, that the American people have awoke from their twenty year hibernation and could be the birth of a new conservative third party in this country. Tomorrow we could finally have a third party that is made up of common sense people that want what is best for America. Pay close attention America, something big is happening tomorrow. For those currently serving in Washington, you better pay close attention as well. I have a feeling that your wake up call is less than twenty -four hours away!!

What a bargain!!!

Posted by Brandon O'Neal Wright on Sunday, November 01, 2009 6:36:35 PM
America, this is urgent!! We must pass Obama-Pelosi Care now! We have 46 million uninsured citizens in our country and inaction would be a disaster. Lucky for us, the House has just introduced a bill that will solve the entire problem. However, before we allow them to pass this human saving program, let's look at a couple of numbers.
   Those who support national health care will tell you that there are 46 million uninsured people living in our United States. Really? The truth of the matter, and the part that they won't tell you is the fact that 10 million of those people are illegal aliens and another 18 million have household incomes that exceed $50,000. Should we offer government health care to illegals? Should we really offer tax dollars to families making $50,000 per year? Of course not! So, the next time that you hear them talk about the 46 million uninsured, please know that they think you are an idiot and will believe anything they tell you. (The numbers used here are from the U.S Bureau of the census, income, poverty and health insurance coverage in the United States.)
   After they make you believe that health insurance is out of reach for 46 million Americans, they will tell you that out of pocket expenses are too high under our current health care program. They will go on to say that national health care will fix that and will make health care affordable for all. Really? Lets look at the United States and compare out of pocket expenses with a few countries that already have a version of Obama- Pelosi care. The following percentages represent the out of pocket expenses for health care. Every country mentioned, with the exception of the United States has universal health care.
   France: 11%, Germany: 11%, Ireland: 14%, United States: 15%, Canada: 16%, Denmark: 16%, Finland: 21%, Italy: 23%, Spain: 23%, Switzerland: 31%. Isn't that amazing? The United States, using one of the most outdated and unfair forms of health care, enjoys one of the lowest percentages of out of pocket medical expenses that the world has to offer. Isn't it amazing, the things that the free market will give you? I know that I can't wait until my next doctors bill. I would love to pay for 31% of the visit instead of 15%. Thanks Nancy!!
   They will tell you that the bill comes in way under projected costs and will cost taxpayers less than 800 billion dollars. Wow, what a bargain. We better jump on a deal like that right away. Oh, ignore the fact that most government projections about costs are wrong. Like the projected cost of how much medicare would cost us by the year 1990. The government said it would cost us 12 billion dollars. By the time 1990 rolled around it was costing us 107 billion dollars. Well, at least they got the billion part right.
   They lie to us about the number of uninsured, the fact that out of pocket expenses are out of control and the fact that we are getting too good a deal to pass up. The common theme? They lie. When are we going to hold them accountable for this? Stand up and tell your elected officials that we simply do not trust the United States government to run our health care. Although, they have done a great job with the H1N1 vaccine, haven't they?
