Hello everyone, the mainstream media has now started to focus on the candidates who have now thrown their hats in the ring for the Presidential election next year. So far, for the Republican Party these candidates include former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, former CEO of god Father’s Pizza Herman Cain, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Pundits everywhere have theorized on how these candidates and anyone else that my run could possibly defeat President Obama. Sadly, after evaluating his time in office so far it won’t take much to defeat him. It isn’t going to require a thorough understanding of Robert Dahl’s political models, nor will it require the ability to distinguish the difference between john Locke and THOMAS Hobbes governing principles. What will it take to defeat Barack Obama who has most of the media in his back pocket, and a radical political machine at his disposal to smear anyone who attempts to oppose him in his quest for reelection? The answer is common sense.
Common sense may seem like a simplistic approach, but it truly is the answer. Let’s apply common sense to most of the policies so far put in place by the current administration. It will shock you how simple it is to combat the policies of a man who the Chris Matthews of the world endeared as the man who would save our nation from disaster.
The White House yesterday conceded to the media that the three most concerning aspects of the economy were high gas prices, the stagnant unemployment rate, and the lack of economic growth. The constant increase in gas prices partly stems from Barack Obama opting to put in place a moratorium on off shore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico along with maintaining a ban on drilling in areas that have substantial amounts of oil such as ANWAR in Alaska to salvage his reputation as a deeply concerned environmentalist. Well, the answer is simple as I stated above. If the off shore moratorium got lifted, and companies who have a track record of utilizing environmentally friendly drilling techniques got the opportunity to tap into these oil rich areas it would have a booming effect. The off shore drilling would create thousands of jobs for places such as Louisiana who suffered the most from the BP oil spill along with the Obama moratorium. The drilling in other sites would create jobs around the country, and our own supply would increase, and gradually it would help diminish our dependency on foreign oil. This would also caused gas prices to sharply drop, and it would allow us to sell our oil to other countries as opposed to begging others for their black gold.
The solution to fixing unemployment has a common sense answer as well. The Obama administration has chosen to use the redistribution of wealth as their main model. Also, it has chosen to used tax payer money to solve every single problem that it deemed worthy. This approached has caused taxes to rise, for companies to go elsewhere to avoid the second highest corporate tax rate in the world, for 44 million people to be on food stamps, and for 8 million people to currently be collecting unemployment benefits. The unemployment rate has remained at 9% a staggering amount for quite a long time along with the rate of foreclosures in the housing market.
Once again, the answer does not require several years of experience as a community organizer or a degree from Columbia. If the corporate tax rate got cut, then more companies would be enticed to do business in the United States. This would mean that jobs would be created, and this would also mean that shockingly more money would be collected by the government from paid taxes which would help eliminate the national debt if the federal government managed to only spend within its means. Furthermore, this would allow the economy to grow since it would be driven by the free market as opposed to the suffocating choke hold of Uncle Sam. The United States could once again ensure that the dollar gained strength in the world market, and the idea of depending on the communist Chinese would no longer be a looming possibility.
Finally, the Obama administration has chosen to practice a rather poor style of diplomacy. Barack Obama has bow down to other world leaders, and has aligned itself with radical Arabic nations. The administration wonders why this makes our strongest allies uncomfortable, and why these new so called ties haven’t bore any fruit. The answer is simple. The United State shouldn’t concern itself with what other countries who have always deemed our founding principles as inadequate think. America must stand firm with those countries that have stood with us when others turned their back on us. Our foreign policy should be quite simple. If any country does not respect the sovereignty of Israel, then we aren’t interested in dealing with them. If any country threatens Israel, then we let them know that they are threatening us as well. If any country tries to systematically damage Britain, then they are systematically hurting us and they will have to deal with us as well.
Anyone who chooses to run for President must demonstrate the ability to use common sense. They must prove to the American people that they truly stand for the core principles upon which this nation was founded on as opposed to just doing it through catchy slogans. In short, the candidate that embodies these values and principles in all of their policies has a great chance to defeat Barack Obama in the Presidential election in 2012.

Do Not Pass Go!
Hello everyone, the stories from all over the world in the last week have been captivating especially those surfacing from Japan several days removed from the devastating earthquake and tsunami. The damage sustained by two nuclear power plants in the area has proven deadly. In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia has deployed troops into Bahrain to help that monarchy suppress any protest that could get out of hand. Also, in North Africa Allied forces after the ratification of several UN Resolutions are now helping rebel forces take out Gaddafi’s army of thugs. Despite this excess of events happening throughout the world, it’s necessary to address a crucial domestic issue. This issue is the budget crisis. America is known for its generous heart we are willing to help anyone who encounters a crisis like the one that the Japanese are facing right now, but if immediate drastic measures aren’t taken by the time that the budget crisis gets resolve we are going to be the ones needing assistance from others.
Often intense negotiation sessions are compared to a match of chess. The style of negotiations so far used by Congress regarding the national debt along with the current budget crisis resembles a game of monopoly more than a chess match. Congress already has implemented six temporary continuing resolutions in an attempt to resolve the current federal government’s budget crisis this year. Democrats claim that this matter should be resolved without resorting to more continuing resolutions, but are only willing to reduce the current budget by 6 billion dollars. They aren’t willing to reduce funding for entitlement programs that are responsible for a large portion of the current deficit. They aren’t willing to reduce federal funds for pork barrel or environmental projects either. Some Democratic leaders have proposed a cut in funds appropriated to the defense department and the Pentagon though. According to this logic it’s more important to name a train station after Vice President Biden than it is to help keep America safe.
Let’s expand upon the monopoly analogy though. Liberals are those monopoly players that every time they land on chance, or community chest, or when they pass go they decide to spend every single dollar they get their hands on. They choose to invest in properties that won’t net them much money. They are the players that are broke most of the time so they are hoping to land on free parking before landing on Boardwalk or Park Place. In other words, Liberals aren’t willing to approve a budget resolution that makes legitimate cost cutting measures as well as the cuts they are willing to sacrifice don’t make much of a difference. They seem satisfied with maintaining a budget that has already resulted in catastrophic financial consequences. This attitude has proven disastrous for the American economy through the various financially reckless measures proposed by the Obama administration in the last 2 years.
Republicans have attempted to approach the budget crisis aggressively this time. They have proposed several resolutions that could cut as much as $61 billion from the existing budget. This would make a small dent that could help make federal spending no longer an issue as opposed to a large part of the problem. The problem among GOP leaders exists in the willingness of some to commit themselves to resolutions that aren’t fiscally responsible. This often occurs when certain members of Congress like Senator Olympia Snow choose to vote for anything that might get them more attention as opposed to voting for what’s best for the country. Other more Conservative representatives such as Paul Ryan of Wisconsin are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that America has a bright future by diminishing the size of the federal government.
The Snow like representatives are the monopoly players that will from time to time make some reasonable moves with the properties they acquire, but for the most part they will go along with whatever the other players tell them to do. They trust that the dice will roll favorably for them. In the other hand, legitimate Conservative members of Congress are the type of monopoly players that will only invest in properties that are going to pay immediate dividend as well as in the future. They are willing to sell off those properties that they can’t afford, and then they will make sure that any money they get from places like free parking is saved in order to help eliminate any existing debt.
The United States federal government has grown exorbitantly for way too long. Congress needs to address the budget crisis with a resolution that will shrink the federal government, and that will finally allow the free market to resuscitate the economy as opposed to putting it on life support with more government controlled programs. Conservative leaders of both chambers need to ensure that legitimate changes are made: otherwise, the future won’t be any different than the present. In fact, if the bullying tactics of Harry Reed and Chuck Schumer succeed Americans in the future won’t be able to pass go to collect our retirement checks, instead it will be a bill to keep paying China more money each year.

Somewhere Over A Barrel.
Hello everyone, by now I’m certain that everyone has seen the violent scenes emanating from different regions in the Middle East and North Africa. President Obama as usual has opted to condemn the violent acts a few casualties too late, and has chosen to avoid directly addressing heads of state carrying out these heinous acts such as Muammar Qaddafi in Libya. This isn’t unusual since he developed cases of name amnesia with Hosni Mubarak, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and others in the past. The current administration inability to effectively deal with foreign policy crisis causes our closest allies to wonder about our intentions as well as further damages the already fragile economy.
Despite the bloodshed and economic consequences the current administration still wants to approach the crisis diplomatically. Diplomatic tactics are no longer an option when doctors are prevented from treating individuals that the government shot. Diplomacy isn’t a valid option when everyone regardless of their age, gender, or career paths becomes a target for the rogue government forces. A murderous dictator who doesn’t think twice about slaughtering his own people isn’t going to care too much if Secretary of State Clinton or President Obama tells them to go to time out for being naughty.
Barack Obama has struck out every single time he has had to step up to the plate when it comes to dealing with any foreign policy conflict. He has demonstrated that he lacks the political fortitude to stand up with those who desire a government of their own that uses the same democratic principles upon which America was founded on, or the leadership to condemn governments who turn on their people as well as any new government that decide to align themselves with political organizations who relish our own demise along with that of our closest allies. He couldn’t even use that teleprompter of his to scare the living daylights out of those thugs off the Somali coast who continue to terrorize and kill innocent lives.
Also, the same political cowardice that has prevented him from walking tall and carrying a big stick has caused America to still be at the mercy of the above mentioned regimes that are prominent players in the cartel formerly known as OPEC. The United States has enough oil of its own in places such as the continental shelf and ANWAR to diminish this dependency. Also, the economy would get quite a boost from those individuals working on off shore rigs if the moratorium were to be lifted. Instead, President Obama has chosen to talk about green energy as an asset right now. Tax payer money funds green energy projects, while the price at the pump continues to rise since we have to hope and pray that the Saudi’s keep waking up on the right side of the bed each morning so that oil doesn’t stop flowing.
Unfortunately, Liberals often choose to play nice for the fear of coming off as too stern. It’s time that Barack Obama learns that America’s future is more important than what any manipulative oil rich Arab leader thinks about the United States. It’s about time that he understands that the price of oil is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to commodities prices escalating. The administrations current foreign policy approach and President Obama’s political cowardice has America’s future precariously sitting somewhere over a barrel.

Americans United Against The Unions.
Hello everyone, the news has quickly shifted from violent and chaotic scenes in the Middle East and North Africa to our own back yard. Once again, liberals are utilizing their ability to really sell a sob story for one of their favorite targets, children. I do hope no one decides to misinterpret my use of the word target.
Democrats often defend irrational political vitriol by posing the question, but what about Granny and little Bobby. So far, the most powerful political group representing the elderly sold out its own members when it supported Obama Care, and now a union is choosing to take action complaining about several state legislatures with the support of its constituents to make several fiscally responsible measures to address large debts. Several reports indicate that over 1200 teachers in Wisconsin have not shown up to work with the support of union clowns like Jesse Jackson in protest to several measures proposed by governor walker. I thought that they cared so much about little Bobby that nothing would stop him from becoming better educated than little boys and girls in China though.
Let’s clarify an erroneous misconception now emanating from most pundits microphones. I as a Conservative still believe that teachers are a vital pillar of society in America today. Teachers are incredibly important in honing kid’s minds by helping them master numerous tasks as well as honing various skills essential in the development of a child’s mind. When they choose to actually teach subjects such as math, science, and history as opposed to regurgitating from a pamphlet written by a union thug they can unlock the potential of every single pupil inside of their classroom. Finally, teachers should have the opportunity to be rewarded for their hard work within reason.
The first step in this process will be to tell the NEA to go jump into The Potomac. This union has swindled tax payers long enough by manipulating teacher’s salaries that doesn’t reflect the quality of education that some children receive in public schools. Most often the highest paid teachers are found in the least successful school districts. Also, even though teachers are essential sometimes everyone has to sacrifice especially when the economy is struggling. Why not instead of demanding for new multimillion dollar schools focus that money on improving the schools that already exist. Why not exercise some fiscal sanity by cutting the salaries of some school officials to ensure that other teachers who do their jobs aren’t fired due to lack of funds.
Unions once represented the solidarity of certain industries to prevent the government from bullying their members. Recently, Unions across the country as in those in Wisconsin have emphatically emphasized their willingness to advance their cause no matter who stands in the way. Those in Wisconsin and other surrounding states are willing to sacrifice the future of those children they so vigorously pretended to defend against evil fiscally caring Conservatives as well as ignore any attempt to make financial maneuvers to eliminate debts for the sole purpose of maintaining their political allegiances.
Those teachers in Wisconsin who chose to not show up to school to side with the Unions best exemplify why the membership to certain Union’s should be optional. Also, they show the extent of the powers of Unions in the United States today. Just like a House can’t stand when it is divided, nor can any industry. Union bosses should remember though that the will of the American people can topple any bureaucratic force that stands in their way. James.
