Here are some random thoughts about the past year and a few predictions for the year to come. First. I don't know who is advising the Republicans, but who ever it is, should be fired immediately. Obama has been calling for a tax on millionaires and billionaires and the Republicans should hold him to it. Since when is a tax on someone who makes $250k a tax on a millionaire? If they would have pushed the concept that $250k is not a million dollars, they may have been more successful especially in the eyes of the public (but not the buased media). Romney should have done the same, stating that people that make between $250K and 999K are not necessarily millionaires, but many are small businessmen who are the engine for the economy. Taxing them will continue to keep the economy in the doldrums. Of course, anything that affects our economy in a negative way is exactly what Obama wants. He said as much,in the book Bill Ayers wrote for him, Dreams from My Father. In addition, he wants to destroy the lives of our senior citizens. Obamacare takes $50 billion out of Medicare each year at a time when 4 million new baby boomers are being added annually. His death panels will speed the demise of many grandmothers and grandfathers when life saving drugs and procedures are withheld when the death squad deems them too old, infirm, or just not contributing to Obama's concept of society. This is where the so called savings in Medicare will actually come. If you kill off the beneficiaries before they use resources then you can save money. This is his plan for saving Medicare. By killing off the elderly, he plans to save Social Security as well. This is his way of dealing with entitlements and why he hasn't otherwise put forth a separate plan to do so. Additionally, he wants to tax dividends and capital gains at a higher level. Seniors live off of the interest and dividends that their retirement savings provide, sometimes changing stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or CDs to gain an income advantage. These new taxes will have grandma and grandpa eating dog food and living with the homeless as their savings run out, unless they turn over their life savings and become eligible for food stamps. Oh I forgot, that won't be a problem as Obama will kill them off before it happens...if they are lucky. Look for the life span of American to recede as Obamacare's invasive nature takes over the life and death of all Americans. The headlines from the mainstream will not tell you this, instead it will tell you how the lives of leeches (maybe cockroaches is a better word), the welfare beneficiaries who contribute nothing and who have never contributed anything but more welfare beneficiaries, have increased. Maybe they should be required to become responsible citizens and contribute their fair share. Oh, I forgot, Obama ended "workfair" to garner their votes. It seems unfair to change the system for people who have worked, saved, and planned all their lives to live comfortably in their golden years. Obama should be impeached for enacting genocide for the elderly. And now if this is not bad enough another presidential fiat has been forced upon us that will affect the healthcare of all American in a very negative way, affirmative action on NIH research grants. Some bureaucratic moron did a study that determined that way too many grants were going to Caucasians and not enough to Blacks and Hispanics. So now there is a 10% set a side to insure that minorities get their fair share. This moron didn't understand that grants are given out on the basis merit and potential benefit and previous successes in related research and that a research team consist of a diverse group all of who benefit from the grant. Secondly, research applications don't ask for race, but I guess NIH will begin profiling applicants now. We can't profile terrorists boarding airplanes, but we will profile NIH grant applicants. Because these grants are obviously awarded on merit, grants of lesser importance may now get preference lowering the quality of research. This is exactly what the gangster Obama has done in the past, wasting our money on worthless green energy companies that contribute little to our economy, but much to his campaign war chest.
Speaking of impeachment, the ongoing hearings on Bengazigate (my own term), though damaging to some, will not disclose the real cover up. A day or two after it happened, I was able tell you pretty much what happened, apparently before Obama, Susan Rice, and Hillary Clinton knew, yeah right. The cover up would be pretty easy to discover. First an independent special prosecutor would need to be appointed. He could subpoena phone records, emails, text messages and personal visits of all involved. From these records the trail could be followed from those who watched the terrible tragedy unfold and where it went from there. The Obama regime would resist turning over these documents and then, taking a lesson from the Clintons, a lot of info would mysteriously disappear, especially those leading directly to Obama and his directives. Hillary Clinton is now deciding whether she will side with Obama or come clean, trying to determine what will hurt her the least in her run for the White House four years from now. She needn't worry, the media has a short memory, when it comes to progressive Democrats. Watergate was over an stupid burglary and forced Nixon, a relatively moderate and otherwise great president, to resign. With Bengazigate, four Americans including a United States ambassador were brutally murdered and dragged through the streets. The coverup was to shield the public from the facts so close to the election. Al Qaeda was not dead, the Arab and Moslem outreach was a failure, and they had been killed with weapons that they got from us. Sort of sounds like the "fast and furious" scandal that was successfully covered up.
It has been predicted that by 2017 the United States will be the largest producer of oil and natural gas, passing Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately our laws don't allow to export much of these valuable commodities. This will lead to a glut, which will lead to a price collapse and then a rapid slow down in oil production. The very thing that turned a backward desert wasteland into a wealthy country, namely oil exports will be denied us because of a left thinking president and congress. This is one of the reasons why pipelines have been denied and applications to build export facilities put on hold. Despite over twenty application to build export facilities for liquid natural gas (LNG), only one has been approved. As we speak LNG in North Dakota is being burned off for lack of transport pipelines. Green energy, no matter how good it sounds, is decades and maybe centuries away from replacing fossil fuels as an economic means for electricity. Those who push it now, are either too stupid to understand this, been brainwashed by the media, or want our economy to fail. This is not my opinion, this is the history of green energy to date.
The guy who admits to never having ever made a mistake and always blames everyone else, would have been happy to see us go over the fiscal cliff. Taxes go up on everyone and military spending down. Though other spending is to be cut as well, much of it would have remained or even increased by presidential edict, ignoring the Constitution and Congress, just as he has done numerous times in the past. The economy would have continued to suffer again to Obama's liking. Milk prices may have tripled and been the first sign in what could have turned to food riots, need for marshall law, and quickly turning America into a Marxist dictatorship. Opponents to the regime would have been arrested and private property and wealth confiscated. Gun owner would have been the first to go to concentration (reeducation) camps. The Republicans were caught in a trap and accepted a bad deal, but the only one available at the time. They must not cave to threats over the deficit increase. It makes sense that if you cut spending and balance the budget, there is no need to increase the deficit.
My last comments are on the recent attacks on the 2nd Amendment. None of his recent attacks and regulations by Obama would have prevented the recent tragedies in Colorado and Connecticut or the murder rate in Chicago. He said so. Then why propose them at all. The reason, of course, is to destroy the 2nd Amendment and terrorize legitimate gun owners on one level and to attack constitutional rights in general on another. Very few first degree murders are carried out by NRA members with registered weapons. What could help? Little has been said about punishment. The death sentence should apply to those convicted of first degree murder, attempted murder, armed robbery and rape with a gun with one year or one appeal after conviction and then sentence is carried out. If nothing else, it will prevent the criminal from ever committing another crime. Illegally possessing a gun, possessing a stolen gun, theft of a gun would warrant long mandatory prison terms. The situation with crazies is much harder to deal with as the libs forced there release on to our streets at the end of the 1970s and now they make up a sizable segment of the homeless population, few of whom, fortunately are dangerous. admittedly enhanced background checks and a national data base would help as long as it does not interfere with privacy rights. Remember Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Castro all disarmed their citizenry. As the patriot and father of the Bill of Rights George Mason once said,"To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
Finally, I'd like to wish all of you who follow my blog a happy and healthy New Year. I am hopeful that we the American people can overcome Obama and all of the terrible things for which he and his cronies wish upon us. Only 1461 days left for the tyrant. Pray the Constitution of the United States of America and its 22nd Amendment prevail.
Well said Doc, well said.
