Just Ranting

I recently heard several things on television that just spun me up and is driving this rant.

First of all, Laura Ingramn was hosting the Bill O'Reilly show and had a former female aide (did not catch her name) to Senator Harry Reid (R-NV) on who defending the Obama Health Care mandate where US Citizens will have to indicate on their tax returns if they possess health care or pay a fine. Laura's assertion was that failure to pay the tax on not having a health care plan would bring tax agents to your door. This former aide stated over and over that the result of not paying the fine would be a "letter" asking you to pay it, and subsequent failures to pay will only bring more letters. I don't think so. IRS agents arresting people who refuse to get health care or pay the fine will be a defining movement.

Then Senator Bart Stupak (D-MI) announces he will not seek another term, then making a fool out of himself, states he is proud of the work he and the Democrat Party has down "standing up for small business". Alright, hand me the barf bag, there has not been a more anti-small business administration in decades. Where do these politicians get their reality from?

The final insult was President Obama himself, after making himself out to be the rube of the decade trusting the newly emerging Russians with talks on nuclear weapon reduction then telling the world under what conditions the U.S. would not use nuclear weapons, he performs a maneuver called "the Pot calling the Kettle black" by saying Sarah Palin has "no experience in Nuclear issues", when his experience consists of 14 months of controlling the nuclear football and obviously knowing nothing about National Defense and the world around him. Having spent half my adult life overseas, particularly in the Middle East, I'm pretty sure of the fact that the rest of the World see's Obama as a weakling. Letting the World in on his Nuclear Weapons strategy was just stupid.

Tea Party People - Who Are We?

According to a USA Today Poll, this is who the Tea Party People are:

49% Republican
43% Independent
8% Democrat (no surprise)

70% Conservative
22% Moderate
7% Liberal (go figure)

55% Men
45% Women

19% Annual Income less than $30,000
26% Annual Income $30,000 to $49,000
55% Annual Income $50,000 or more (these are the evil rich people)

79% Non-Hispanic White
6% Non-Hispanic Black
15% Other (must be aliens, not illegal aliens, but the extra-terrestrial type)

The USA Today poll is one thing, but the accompanying Associated Press article calls the Tea Party the angry-at-government movement and has yet to establish itself as a force, which after rallies, thins out.

This is who I think the Tea Party is,....or my Demographics poll if you will:

100% tired of over burdensome taxes
100% against the Stimulus Plan, the Health Care Bill, Cap and Trade,..oh, yeah, and bowing before the Saudi Royal family
100% tired of un-ethical and in some cases criminal politicians
100% tired of political correctness
100% want smaller government
100% (or near to it) believe in God, respect any religious belief, but believe this Country was founded upon the Christianity
100% believe in the pursuit if happiness and the government's role is to get out of the way, not create obstacles
100% believe this Country is heading for a collapse unless we greatly curb spending
100% (or near to it) want a drastic reduction in entitlement programs and pork barrel spending

The mainstream media is intent on minimizing the Tea Party movement as are politicians, mainly Democrats, but some Republicans too.

We have got to get to the polls. Stay informed. Talk politics with your friends, get them involved. We have go to save this Country - there is no place less to go.

Smart Kid - Good Analogy, iPad v. oPad

Some smart kids made the video below upon the concept "If only the government passed a law to make sure that those people who can not afford an Apple iPad do not suffer the unfairness and indignity of living without access to tablet computing", drawing an analogy to the Health Care Bill (ObamaCare) where all those politicians, who don't believe they are accountable to the People, passed a bill knowing nothing about the contents. Unbelievable.
