Okay, I wanted to go to bed on time but there were just some things that I had to say. I haven't blogged in a while but after watching the movie Julia and Julie, I remembered how important this was to me.
So those three things: tomorrow's election in Massachusetts is one of the most important elections for freedom in a long time, I hate when people play politics instead doing what is right for America and Americans as a whole, and socialism ALWAYS fails and Haiti is a great example of why it does.
First, everyone who enjoys their God given freedoms and liberties has a stake in tomorrow's (today's if you are reading this on Tuesday) election in Massachusetts. State Senator Brown needs to defeat State Attorney General Coakley if freedom has a chance to survive in America. I don't care if Obama is president for the next 6 years, we need opposition if our freedom is to survive. We need the Senate to be able to filibuster bills that harm that freedom and harm the Constitution in the way that the Health Care Bill or Cap and Trade does. I could go into long book-like tangent about those two things but they are just bad. Bad for the economy, bad for your pocket books (taxes and higher costs), bad for freedom, and of course bad for the Constitution. If Brown is elected, then the Senate can stop those things from coming to pass. Having ALL the power in one party is too dangerous. Just look at what the Republicans did under Bush (they spent way too much, among other things- i.e. Patriot Act, Iraq War, and so on).
Speaking of Bush, it has been a farce if you believed that Obama was going to "Change" the way things are done in Washington. Obama is doing the EXACT SAME THING as Bush just more of it. He is spending more, he is more secretive (no CSPAN like he PROMISED but closed door meetings for the healthcare bill), he is increasing the debt and deficit more, getting us into more wars (more troops to Afgan.) It was a lie that he was/is for change. The only thing he changed was a mascot and the speed at which the government was doing things. I mention this because the thing I hate about some Republicans that bash Obama so much like Hannity and others, yet they did not really speak out when Bush was attacking our freedoms, our Constitution, and killing the debt/deficit. Great reads out there from Judge Andrew Napolitano on this subject, as well as any economics by Dr. Walter Williams and Dr. Thomas Sowell. Get over it- many Republicans are socialists as are Democrats (check how many in both parties are members of the CFR- a globalism think tank). Bush and Obama are the same- just a different mascot. They are socialists. They believe the government can solve our problems. Bush with "compassionate conservatism" (nothing related to conservatism), and Obama with Cap and Trade, Obamacare, and the plethora of government bailouts/stimuli. Its all the same. Who cares what party does it. It is wrong in both cases. Socialism fails. (The only thing I will concede to Bush is that he did do a better job at protecting innocent life than Obama-check out his response to Rick Warren on the issue of abortion and then see what Obama did day 3 of his administration and see if he was consistent with his word)
Finally, speaking of socialism failing, of which there are countless, countless examples in many countries besides our own that have proven this, the country of Haiti is a great example of how socialism has failed. First let me say, I believe that the people of Haiti need help and I don't blame them. My heart breaks for them, especially those little children, and I am going to talk about that, so follow me here. The United States has given BILLIONS of dollars to Haiti and they are still so poor. By the way, GM and Chrysler only wished they could profit billions. The problem is those billions came in the way of socialism. Our government giving to their government, either directly or through one of the many globalism organizations. The money never goes to the people it only goes to the corrupt government. It is a waste of our hard earned tax dollars. Cut taxes and I will give my money to Samarians Purse or Compassion International and I know that money makes it to the people. Socialism is a failure and the policy in Haiti proves it. We should and need to help those people but our government can't do it. It has to be done privately or corruption will continue like it always does in socialism. Just ask all the Senators and Unions who got bribes for their states/people to support the government's socialized health care plan.
Now, I can go to sleep.
Understand one thing though. I am not an advocate of disrespecting authority. I believe in upholding it. The problem in our country is that most people think that Bush and Obama or the Congress and Supreme Court are the authority in our country. They would be wrong (outside of God of course), the CONSTITUTION is the "supreme law of the land", not those jokers in Washington. Read the Constitution and you will see that I am right.
