Will the Democrats stand up?

 

Will the Democrats stand up?

Congratulations on a Democrat victory

Yeah, the Democrats have won.

Now what will they do?  Will they turn tail and run out of Iraq or will they stand and fight.  I have often observed that it has been tremendously hard for President Bush to execute the war in Iraq because he is not only fighting the enemy but also the media in this war.  President Clinton got a free ride in Serbia, in fact the media put propaganda on the news to support the war.  They stupidly didn't call it a "quagmire" the 1st hours of the war.  They showed many pictures of refugees and had many discussion how the death squads were killing the innocent.  While with President Bush, they openly hid the facts about the death squads, and the torture prisons. 

Now the Democrats have the power.  Lets go in and kick some unobstructed booty.  Get the Lawyers to stop screaming everytime we kill someone.  I'll admit President Bush made some huge mistakes.   He should of killed Asater at the beginning.  When the hung those soldiers from the bridge, weren't you just waiting for the US military to blow the heck out of that bridge with all the enemy scum standing on it.  How about and open order to shoot any guy with a mask on holding a gun.  What the heck would be wrong with that.  Let's use some sense in this war and kick some booty and get out.  Enough of this mister nice guy.  I appeal to the Democrats to use their influence on the news media and the legal profession to let our military do just that.   Your really not antiwar, you proved that in Serbia.  So now that you have some control, lets do it well, and please get the media and the lawyers off the military's back.  Or do you think that if we get completely humiliated in Iraq, you will get the White House.  What you and the media have done to President Bush is sick and wrong, but it worked for you.  How long do you think lying, siding with our enemies, and attacking our President will play with the American people.  Stand up and do something right.  Please

Why I Vote Republican

 

Why I Vote Republican

"Give us free" was the slave cry from the movie "Amistad".  I sometimes feel that same battle raging in my soul when I see the Democrats gaining power.  In ancient times when the Muslims first took over Egypt and Israel, they instituted at practice of double taxing the people who would not convert.  It worked very well.  Muslims soon had the majority.  Don't the Democrats want to do the same to us and have for years.  They refuse to give us choice.

They refuse to give us vouchers for private schools, so if we want private schools for our kids we have to be rich enough to pay twice.

They want a single payer government controlled health care program which everyone will have to pay into, taking away our choice in health care unless we want to pay double.

They force us to pay into a social security program for our retirement, when we could save for our own retirement.  They won't budge one inch in allowing us to even control a small percentage of our retirement.

They want to force us to pay for public daycare so our wives will no longer have the freedom to stay home with their children because they will have to work to pay for all their programs.

They want to over tax anybody who is above the middle class, therefore making it almost impossible for someone to grow out of the middle class.

They are weak on defense against terrorism, therefore forcing me to live in fear of radical Muslims.

They give to many rights to the criminals, and are apposed to the death penalty, so I have to fear repeat rapist and child molesters attacking my family.

They appose the right for the people to bear arms.

They appose the right for the people to speak, if it is something the deem unworthy.

They appose proselytizing by Christians (i.e., ACLU lawsuits, and tolerant religion laws in Europe).

They appose public display of religion. (i.e., The attack on the Ten Commandments and public prayer).

They appose Christians presenting the Biblical view on homosexuality.(i.e. tolerant speech laws in Canada and Europe currently.)

They appose smoking in public.

Their supreme court justices are the ones who are approving eminent domain for communities to take private lands.

The Democrats do offer an attractive freedom to a lot of people.

Sexual freedom with very few limits.  (On this we strongly disagree on the consequences of this freedom on a nation and individuals.)

Reproductive choice.  The freedom to choose to kill life even when it is not self defense.

The freedom to do nothing.  You can depend on the government if you don't want to work because "Help is on the way!"


      Was the government tent camp really better in the book "Grapes of Wrath".  It seemed like a living hell to me.  I would rather struggle to be free than live off the government.  Were Lenny's dreams all that bad in "Of Mice and Men".  At least he had dreams that lit his spirit on fire.  I don't want a government that is going to throw water on those dreams.  Would Lenny have been happy with his socialist 10 x 10 tent with no place to raise his rabbits?  Maybe he would of chose the ending he received in the book rather than have a destroyed spirit, the possibility of his dreams coming true because he would be placed on a fixed income.
 
       I see life much differently.  I see people living in a free society were there spirits are set free and they can make choices that give them dignity.  I do see the need for government to step in and give welfare to those who need help (I agree the government is not doing as good of job at this as they should).  But, why can't it just be help for those who need it.  What is good for the goose is not good for the gander.  When the cookie cutter approach is applied to things like education, retirement, health care, and wealth, it squelches the human spirit.  I truly with all my heart wish that the government would quit forcing social programs designed to help the down and out on all of us making those of us who want to opt out have to pay double.  Who has the money for that.  In the end will they convert us all?  We are making a valiant stand!

The Health Insurance Problem.

How Do we solve the health insurance problem in America.

Skyrocketing heath insurance prices seem to be caused by several factors. 
1.  Better heath care.  This ain't your parents medical system.
2.  Lawyers.  They definitely get a piece of the pie, ask John Edwards. 
3.  Greed.  Executives do seem a little eager to pad their pockets.

Who is not getting rich is the doctors. 

The solution.  I am a solid Republican, but what I am about to say may offend some. 
Government competition.  We need a competitive government healthcare plan that actually pays doctors as well as private health care plans.  Medicare and medicaid pay less than half of what doctors charge.  Try being on those programs and finding a doctor. 
A competitive Government health care company would offer subsidies to those who could not afford healthcare on a sliding scale.  This system would fight corporate greed while still encouraging a private healthcare system.  It's time has come. 

I think the government ought to get into a lot of industries competitively.  Not to drive out free enterprize, but to put a check and balance on the system. 
The government could also create important companies to our infrastructure that don't seem to be profitable to the free market, like a steel factory.

The government could get involved in the production of oil and electricity to keep a check on the market. 

The answer to the new Republican is "government competition and freedom to choose".
