Walker for 2012

Tomorrow is another landmark day for what has become to be known as the Tea Party movement. And what is the Tea Party? I have described it once as everyone who isn’t living off the government, and the acronym for Taxed Enough Already is more than fitting. But it is more than taxes, it is the corruption, which can be simply defined as the buying of votes with tax payers money or more darkly described as the picking of winners and losers by the government (Hello GE, goodbye Big Oil), and the phony budgeting by which the government operates.

Zero baseline budgeting, in my interpretation, is a must for the Tea Party, as is tax ‘reform.’ Tax reform, cutting out all loopholes and then lower tax rates is something the democrats could share in. You think that would make tax reform a slam dunk. But another attribute of the Tea Party is that many have come to realize that the democrats, led by their liberal extremists, have no interest in doing what is right for this nation. The best that can be said for these liberals is they want the best for their cause. Unfortunately for them their cause is not what the United states represents, or had represented, and is detrimental to this nation as a whole. And the people of this country, the Tea Party, realize this also.

I believe that is an appropriate description of this indefinable leaderless grass roots organization. And while being endlessly attacked, the name may be suffering in the polls but the beliefs fueling it are unchanged. And tomorrow will determine the true vitality of what is known as the Tea Party. Tomorrow six republican state senators are fighting for the future of Wisconsin in recall elections. Recalls driven by union activists, many from other states, that have invested all they could in robbing the people of Wisconsin of its legitimate government. They are pulling out all the stops in misleading advertisements and election fraud to secure the overthrow of democracy. Yes, democracy itself is in the balance if liberal forces and their worker union thugs turn the tide against the Tea Party.

But I firmly believe the elections will come out in favor of the conservative republicans tomorrow. Though we don’t see much of the Tea Party in the way of activism there is a reason for that. The people, the Tea Party, has come to realize that they are not in the minority. They have come to understand the smoke and mirrors and dirty tactics the left relies on. They have uncovered the vapid mainstream media agenda to support the liberal cause and pay it no heed. Or more precisely, they have better more productive things to do with their time. The Tea Party understands that they are in the drivers seat and the only thing they need to do is get out and vote, and THEY WILL!

Still this nation is in crisis. And the nation is of much greater importance than any single part or state. While the governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker has worked miracles in a very short time and many believe he is irreplaceable, including me, he is an ideal candidate for President with the issues we are facing now.

Scott Walker has been a budget guru long before anything known as a Tea party was around. As the county executive of Milwaukee County he presented balanced budgets year after year, making hard decisions and cuts that were for the most part overridden by the County Board. But he did it, proposing plans to contract out janitorial work as well as season jobs rather than keep union wage workers on staff all year long as some of his solutions. He presented balanced budgets others thought impossible, and they were considered intelligent and responsible by anyone even remotely conservative. But again it was union forces that have have enslaved the county Board that have kept a continuous budget dilemma alive.

Now as governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker has balanced a budget that under the previous administration was robbing from road funds, illegally claiming monies from a doctor’s malpractice fund and counting tax monies yet to be collected to balance the books; a requirement of the Wisconsin Constitution.

In the face of all this Scott Walker balanced the budget, paid back the doctors fund, provided more money for the schools despite cuts by savings he legislated for them, did not cut a single job for state workers and now Wisconsin is looking soon to run a surplus without raising taxes. Not only that but new private sector jobs are leading the nation in numbers. And for those moderates, Scott Walker never once accuse his predecessor and treated all his adversaries with calmness and respect no matter how disrespectful they were to him in return.

Scott Walker’s skills are a perfect match to what this nation needs in this moment of trial. If he were elected as President in 2012, and the Tea Party were to bring republican control to the senate this nation would be turned into an economic powerhouse that would never be surpassed in our lifetime. Scott Walker as president, with his fellow Wisconsinites Paul Ryan and Ron Johnson, would transform this nation. Scott Walker with his unmatched budgeting skills, Paul Ryan with his expertise in entitlement reform and common sense solutions, Ron Johnson with his expertise in business and how things really operate in the real world, together with a slew of tea Party legislatures that may not hold the same expertise but definitely share the passion to save this country, are the absolute antithesis to the perfect storm of destruction that the left has been battering this nation with for decades.

This is a time to think of the bigger purpose and to trust in one’s fellow man. Scott Walker may seem irreplaceable but we in Wisconsin need to trust that others can carry the torch locally. If tomorrows elections fall powerfully in the republicans favor in the recall elections, definitely Scott Walker should be considered as a potential candidate for President, perhaps even if they don’t. It is time to rush the liberal beast and strike for the heart.

Mitt Romney vs. The Wisconsin Miracle

Mitt Romney, the ultimate beltway baby is the next in line, the ordained, the anointed, the candidate of choice of the old school, blue blood, died in the wool or any other adjective(s) you want to add to republicans blind to the will of the people candidate.

Mitt Romney was set up so smoothly. Look! He raised $10 million so easily. The press played him up as a legitimate candidate in contrast to anything remotely labeled Tea Party, or rather what the press mistakenly calls fringe when being polite.

And then, most telling of all, just prior to Mitt Romney’s official declaration Mike Huckabee stepped out of the race, proclaiming he will not run. Huckabee even going on the Tonight Show, a spewing platform for liberal tripe, to make it official.

Remember the religious bigotries Huckabee’s campaign team put out in the 2008 campaign? Huckabee is a sleaze and I’m glad he is out. I wrote my opinions of him clearly some years past. But his withdrawal was forced because of his previous stoking of religious tensions. No one is going to attack Romney for being a Mormon.

The press, and forums such as the tonight show, are all playing along with his predetermined nomination because Romney is a government spending advocate. It was the greatest fault of the Bush Presidency that they went along with big government spending. Yes, the Bush administration warned against the looming mortgage crisis, but then simply backed down. How sweet would the republican party be sitting now if the Bush administration had hammered and hammered and hammered on the mortgage issue at the time, before the bubble burst.

Mitt Romney is a big government spender. His comments on global warming, ethanol and his belief in government solutions to health care are tells that speak to even the inexperienced. He is blind to the will of the people, a will confirmed through polling. A blindness that can only be described as a contempt for the people of this nation.

Shame, shame, shame on your head Mitt Romney. You portray yourself as a righteous man, a man of faith, yet play along with liars and cheats to achieve your ambitions. You saved the salt Lake City Olympics. You know government spending is unsustainable. You know the Tea Party, the people of this nation have serious legitimate concerns, yet you stand for the status quo, unable to take a stand for the sake of this nation. Step down now you phony! It’s not about your religion, it’s about you Mitt Romney. The curtain has been pulled back and you don’t even know it.

The Tea Party is made up of those ‘Taxed Enough Already.’ It is not the fringe. It is everyone not living off the government. Your Mitt Romney's, John McCain's and powers to be want to hold up a failing system, a system heading for tyranny. They represent the blind trying to lead the enlightened; the people who pay for this nation. They speak out against the Tea Party, its’ candidates and its’ successes.

Here in Wisconsin conservatives swept the legislature and executive in the last election. Scott Walker, Wisconsin’s new governor, has turned massive deficits into a surplus. He has saved every job outside of those the union destroyed by refusing to implement the governor’s changes to collective bargaining. A miraculous turn around, victory, that those same old powers to be, government spending republicans, are trying to smother.

I wrote, after the election that brought Scott Walker to power, that Wisconsin would be leading the way for the nation. We have a successful businessman, Ron Johnson, in the senate and the whole country looks to Paul Ryan in congress as a true conservative solutions go to. Yet, as republicans in the Wisconsin State legislature face recalls this coming month, the miraculous accomplishments of this republican government are not being proclaimed in the applicable campaigns. Why?

We need to proclaim strongly and proudly conservative successes, and we need new republican leadership in congress. We need Tea Party leadership. The old political culture needs to be destroyed to save this nation. The democrats are on the ropes, defeated, beaten, gone. This is no time to pay homage to a failed history.

It’s time to purge the republican party. And all this talk about third parties? … I wrote about that a long ago too. Someone like …Donald Trump needs to challenge President Obama for the democratic party nomination and bring honesty back to their party. He needs to circle the wagons of the financial muscle behind the democrats that don’t belong to the liberal socialist powers to be and take a stand against the tyranny they represent. Yes Mr. Trump the odds would be against you. The battle may be seen as lost before it started. The toll would be great for you and your family, but with you leading it could only be described as …Glorious!

Can We Impeach Him Yet?

So pleaded the left wing blogs when President Bush was in office. For almost every action the former President took there were calls for impeachment. Baseless accusations that if paid head to would keep the President from fulfilling his duties.

President Obama has duties of his own to perform. One is to provide for the security and well being of the people of this nation. As August 2nd approaches, what are his duties if the debt ceiling is not raised?

Without raising the debt ceiling the government still has the funds incoming to pay on the debt and payout social security. If President Obama insists on not paying out on social security, if this day should come, he should be impeached. He is defrauding the public for political gain.

Let's not even get into the Fast and Furious gun operation, or they fraudulent credit card processes used by President Obama's campaign to raise funds to get him elected President. President Obama claims the economy needs stimulus to recover; the influx of money from the government. Well, social security is a whole lot of government dollars (actually they are supposed to be our dollars) going straight into the economy. There is no justification for such action, stopping payments, by his own standards of what this economy needs.

The majority of the public is in favor of conservative practices of cutting spending, ...drastically. The Republicans cannot fold. Too much is at stake. Government spending by way of the democrats is unsustainable. The President's proposed actions, if implemented, are immoral, without justification and of great harm to the people of this nation. Can we impeach him yet?

Shame, Shame, Shame

Shame, Shame, Shame. A statement heard over and over here in this great state of Wisconsin. The accusations of the long haired hippie freak types, all that remain of those union driven protests designed to protect the jobs of union bosses with their exorbitant salaries, directed at the responsible grown ups solving Wisconsin's budget crisis. Those legislators who have saved all state workers jobs, given school districts savings more than enough to cover cuts, and cutting taxes and regulations to stimulate job growth for the vast numbers of unemployed. Republican legislatures who have reformed government and spending so that Wisconsin will soon run a surplus being the objects of their scorn. These hippie freak types are slaves to their passions, acting without thought or control.

And I say Shame, Shame, Shame to all others unable to, with knowledge and understanding, keep themselves from being enslaved by the influences of their own surroundings. Yes, I say Shame, Shame, Shame to you John Boehner, you crying fool.

Golfing with President Obama? President Bush gave up golf as he found it distasteful as he commanded men in war, sending them to their deaths, bringing grief to the families of this nation. Yet President Obama plays as if he's retired. His outings and lavish vacations not going unnoticed among the peoples of this nation. Many of your fellow citizens, John Boehner, being unable even to afford to go golfing during this economic crisis. A crisis that appears more and more to have been the result of government policies.

So in this environment John Boehner you go out and validated President Obama's vice and sloth? While our men and women are still dieing in foreign wars, while many in our own nation are suffering economic hardship in this Obama depression, while men and women are being slaughtered in their streets by their own government in Syria, you stroke away with the leader of the free world. I bet you felt really important too.

So put on the spot John Boehner are you going to cry? Perhaps cry yourself to sleep? Those in Syria standing for freedom, who lost their homes and loved ones, wondering if their government will be coming for them next, perhaps clutching a firearm as they attempt to catch a bit of sleep might shed a tear. But mostly they will be gritting their teeth willing to look death in the eye to be free.

And they are free. Not free as too many Americans believe freedom to be, the ability to follow the slightest whim that any particular moment may present (heads up to Anthony Wiener), but free in that they are unshackled from the restraints of that which would restrict their pursuit of God's desire for their lives; to live blessed and prosperous lives.

Here in the United States we can see our blessing and prosperity drifting away. Our freedom being subverted and taken away by those unable to free themselves from their own vices or self imposed restraints. Restraints such as bowing to power and position rather than standing against the current for what is right. Whether it be social, moral or fiscal issues the beltway culture is one of surrendering to the powers to be, an illusion of power and goodness devoid of ties to reality; a self consuming self indulgent culture. Just as the serpent in the garden first distorted reality in order to control Adam and Eve, bringing about the fall, the origin of evil in this world, the beltway culture with their media cohorts pound the public with ideas in conflict with the truth. The idea that raising taxes will increase revenue being one of those falsehoods that refuses to die despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. And to place Mitt Romney in the hall of Shame we can include man made global warming and government run health care.

Freedom comes from truth and understanding guiding our desires in the direction of God's will. Why? Because God is real. The wise come to see that is how one's innate innermost hopes and dreams will be fulfilled. Something our founding fathers knew. It is far removed from the knee jerk, vice driven actions of many we see protesting the good works of our legislature in Wisconsin. It is far removed from the beltway culture that feeds off its own delusion of self worth at the cost of the people they claim to serve. It is far removed from what the democrat party has become. The majority of citizens have come to understand this. They are called the Tea Party. No one cares about reaching across the aisle John Baehner.

Humpty Dumpty, The End of Red China

I have just written a new book. It is far from perfect grammar wise, but very readable and enjoyable. I just got the formatting for Kindle resolved. In the book, the main reason I haven't posted in some time, a nursery rhyme is worked in with some small variations;

Humpty Dumpty is ready to fall
Humpty Dumpty had a great wall
All the premiers horses and all the party men
Couldn't put the party back together again

In my story, a work of fiction, the climatic event will be the catalyst for what will be the break up of Red China. Something that will be significant in future volumes. But outside of fiction I believe we will see Red China break apart in the very near future. Even within a years time. Why?

Recently on the BBC they covered the spread of Christianity in China, the actual promotion of Christianity by the state. China is actually studying the link between western prosperity and Christianity and see Christianity as beneficial. Of course we would see this, state authorized religion, as a false form of Christianity, but where the word is life will bloom. They cannot control a true Christian spirit which will arise. They will never undermine the underground churches. However that is far from the biggest threat to China's cohesion. But it does point to the inherent contradictions in Chinese society. Contradictions that are severe, wide spread and numerous. Contradictions that will soon destroy what we know as China today.

First of all the destruction of China is secured in the loss of their traditional society. The rock solid inherent social and family structures nurtured by centuries of Confucianism and other eastern religious influences are being destroyed by the one child policy and materialism. They do not have enough children to take care of the elderly in traditional fashion. A newly married couple has four parents, perhaps eight grandparents, to care for with no other siblings to rely on. And they can't. But this is just a symptom of the deep contradiction between traditional values and materialism sweeping the hearts and minds of the youth. Some of this contradiction is assuaged by new religions and welfare for the elderly policies, but this dilemma is one of the strongest stresses on the culture. It was only those tradition social structures that allowed China to keep its cohesion throughout the Cold War.

Next you still have hidden deep resentments over Tiamen Square. The contradiction between the mind seeking freedom, especially in the youth, and an oppressive government that suppresses free thought. This spirit of revolt is being fed by what is going on in the Muslim world.

Of course you have the deep contradictions between the rich and poor, the rural and urban societies. A demand for manufacturing jobs and the race to keep pace with the demand. And even in the cities, those chasing the dream of prosperity find themselves trapped in slavish conditions, all the while living among the filthy rich flaunting their opulence. And the blunt reality is much of China's growth was planned, driven by infrastructure projects that cannot continue. Yet ...massive resources have been consolidated among groups and individuals, resources that can be directed to support causes those holding them see as beneficial to them.

Then their is the judicial system in which the wealthy and the party members seem immune to prosecution. Where corruption is ignored while the people suffer. Environmental catastrophes are severe and the idealists in the communist party have joined with lawyers and community groups to battle them, through the courts, as well as other forms of corruption.

And this points to the deepest contradiction of all. The contradiction within the communist party itself, between the corrupt and idealistic, between the militarists and those who may recognize a shared prosperity with the rest of the world. As the students, those fighting through the courts often with party officials support, and those suffering under the economic inequality among others, all find themselves struggling together as the traditional structures of society break apart, with availability to massive consolidations of capital, the ruling party will divide in contradictory directions.

Hopefully the idealists will win, but they will never be able to hold the entire nation together. If the corrupt group wins there will be a blood bath. This theory is all based on the concept that something trapped in severe contradiction cannot continue to exist. Or you can look at it from the communist perspective. That struggle, thesis and anti-thesis battling, produces something better, a synthesis. Still I do not believe they can keep their country together. All this will not mean the end of the communist party, but with their openness to Christianity, a religion that is capable of providing order in turmoil, the path to the end of dialectical materialism, atheistic communism, will be clear. China as a military threat, outside of their nuclear arsenal, will be non-existent.
