But you cannot stop a horses ass from unloading all over the place. Such is the diarrhea we have been drowning in since the media circus began yesterday. And there were enough horse asses to last a lifetime.
Ass number one, our illustrious senator, Dick Durbin. This moron makes horse crap smell good. He was telling America how the republicans will destroy a recovering economy if they close government. He could hardly say it with a straight face. He struggled to call it a "recovering" economy and to convince himself, he had to say it a couple times, "the economy is slowly recovering", he assured himself.
Of course, Harry Reid is such a horses ass and spews so much, let's call it, unpleasantness, that even flies stay away from him. I am so sick of hearing his lies that I can bring myself to repeat them. It has grown tiresome.
Then there is the Commander in Chief of the horses asses. Every campaigning, today he repeated his ridiculous lie again, telling the county how (not verbatim), we have worked hard to overcome crises from previous administrations, and they want to throw us back into a new made-up crisis. This on the same day retailers announced a disappointing back to school shopping season and are preparing for an equally disappointing Halloween and Christmas. None-the-less, every time he told us how he guided us out of the previous administration's crisis, I had to ask myself, how? Where? When? From all indications, the economic recover is anemic at best, non-existent at most.
Now, when he refers to the previous administration, if he is talking about his last four years, well that would not be a lie. Otherwise, he is pathetically still blaming George W. Bush. This alone would be enough to win him the golden pacifier award.
For those who are warming up to this tool because Bill Clinton supports him? Remember, Hillary will run in 2016 and these equally morally bankrupt, comic book characters will want Obama's support when she runs. As for Bill, we already know what he is and based on his, under the desk activities, we also know his price...and it is not very high.
So GOP leaders, you know what to do, if you choose not to do the right thing, you already know you will take the blame for EVERYTHING that goes wrong and you know you will seal the fate of the 2014 election and you know you are likely to give up the 2016 election. In short, you are every bit as responsible for the destruction of the United States as Obama and his galloping goof balls.
For anyone who would question my patriotism, I will say this...I love my country! The United States of America! I love what this country stands for - our Constitution, our history and our freedom. I do not love or support what one president, 100 senators, 435 state representatives, 8 supreme court justices and one chief justice in 2013, are doing to our country. It is wrong, IT is not patriotic, IT is not American!
In short, you can lead these horses to water and push them in but the stink will not go away.

Sorry, We're Closed!
So Ted Cruz spent more than 21 hours telling the nation why Obamacare is bad. He also took a lot of heat for doing this from members of both parties. The sad thing is, if the Republican party had taken a more aggressive position from the start, we wouldn't be in this position today. Since 2006, conservatives have been beaten down by the left and by the media through lies, misrepresentations and false accusations. Through it all, the conservative leadership has taken a passive approach by either responding to charges with a wimpy response or not responding at all.
With increasing frequency, the left is rewriting history in an effort to make republicans and conservatives appear evil. Over the past several weeks, I have heard politicians, radio hosts (and callers); and even the president; describe Ronald Reagan as a president who gave the rich all the breaks at the expense of the middle class. Our college age voters today did not know Ronald Reagan. They did not know that he led the country out of the worst economy in our nations history, until now; and into the longest economic expansion in our nations history. College students today do not know that the lifestyles of all Americans, poor to rich, drastically improved because of the economic policies of the Reagan administration.
Just this past week, republicans in congress were compared to terrorists with "bombs strapped to their chests". This, in response to the republicans refusing to pass the finance bill with a rubber stamp. Obama, Pelosi, Carney and others have said over and over, how they will not negotiate... Now, if any republican president or lawmaker would have said this, he or she would have already been kicked out of Washington. If a republican president said he would not negotiate, he would have been smeared throughout the nation and the world. In fact, Ronald Reagan's success could only be attributed to his ability to bring the two sides together and LEAD them to a compromised resolution. Lead and compromise, two words which cannot be used to describe Obama. One other interesting observation is how Obama repeatedly says, "we will not negotiate..." Is there a connection or a play on words since George HW Bush said, "we will not negotiate with terrorists".
Obama, supposedly in his final term, has attacked conservatives, Christians, Fox News, and everyone else he has disdain for, which is anyone who does not agree with him. Can anyone remember Ronald Reagan personally attacking the citizens he was supposed to be representing? Reagan was elected by 60% of the population, but he was president to all Americans, Obama is president to himself and the people he chooses to help; gang bangers, Islamic extremists and Hollywood.
So back to the topic at hand, do republicans allow government to close on October 1? Have they learned nothing from the sequester, when Obama closed public parks and anything else which would attract attention of the media? Allowing government to close would mean one of two things, either republicans are working on Obama's behalf, or they are incredibly stupid. A closed government would be the best thing that could happen to this administration as it would guarantee a democratic blowout in 2014, a veto-proof repeal of the 22nd amendment and a guarantee of the total destruction of the American form of government.
If the government were to close, anything further that would go wrong with the country or Obamacare, would be blamed on the republicans closing government. Heck, Obama is still blaming George W Bush for the economy today. Is it really too complicated for these guys to figure out? This past week, Obama said he would not let republicans reverse all of his accomplishments. You see, here he is positioning himself to blame EVERYTHING on republicans, particularly since he has accomplished nothing. The republicans must not play into his wicked hand.
The correct way to play this hand is very simple. You've made your point, now let the bill through and let the sparks fly. Following the passage of this poison pill, republican leadership must be in front of cameras everyday, telling America how their lives are worse because of (fill in stupid Obama plan here). When Obama says, well you voted for it, the republican lawmaker can say how he voted against it before he voted for it. Apparently, this is a way to erase stupid decisions politicians make. After-all, John Kerry used this as his anti Iraq war position.
Like all other crazyness we are seeing today, history tends to repeat itself. Today we are watching the implosion of the republican party because they cannot take a position or a stand. Strangely enough, it was idealogical incompetence of the Whig party in 1856 which caused Lincoln to join the new Republican party. This Tuesday, we may very well see the beginning of the end of the republican party. In other words, if the "Sorry, We're Closed" goes up, republicans better start posting in the "Positions Wanted" section of the newspaper.

Is It Time To Give Up?
Several days ago, I had an opportunity to listen to the Dennis Miller Show on 560AM, WIND, in Chicago. Though I do not get the opportunity to listen very often, I have always enjoyed Dennis Miller for his intellectual humor; and since his show was added to the WIND lineup, for his political points of view. From time to time however, I have had reason to question some of Dennis' positions. Occasionally, these "questionable" points of view have given me reason to re-think my positions.
On this particular day, a caller questioned Dennis' attitude toward the president of late. The caller felt that Dennis has taken a laid back position, arguing that if Dennis was practically required by virtue of his celebrity, to fight for the conservative cause. The caller was essentially telling Dennis that if he were not a part of the solution, by default he would become part of the problem. I agreed with the caller as I have been telling everyone that we are not fixing anything by ignoring everything this president is doing to destroy our country.
Dennis respectfully disagreed with the caller, reasoning that none of the garbage this president is doing, is worth taking minutes from his life. Dennis observed that he was becoming angry all the time and he did not like the way it felt. He said that he would not give the president this much power over his life, allowing the president to determine when or whether Dennis would be happy. Dennis said he respected the caller's opinion but did not feel the president was worth the energy.
Dennis next began reasoning about how the president was elected twice by a overwhelming majority, indicating that as a nation, our priorities have changed. He believed that this is the president and the desires of the current generation. This is the part that caught my attention. This is the part that made me stop and think. Afterall, my generation had Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan represented and was a reflection of my generation.
The ideals of my generation were personal accountability; hard work equals rewards; peace through strength; respect for the law and love of country. We were a nation of doers, takers were the exception. The nation was united under Ronald Reagan and while people may not have liked other people who were different, most people respected those who were different. It was during this period in our history that I believe we made our strongest gains in racial relations.
Today's generation is made up of victims. Everyone is a victim of somebody - blacks are victims of business and hispanic vigilantes; gays are victims of conservatives, women are victims of men, hispanics are victims of whites, elderly are victims of big business, those who do not have are victims of those who have. Each day on the news, there are stories of how one group or another is being victimized by someone. This is in complete contrast to the Reagan philosophy.
Because we are victims, we believe the government owes us. The government owes us healthcare, food, housing and a college education among many other things. Now who will pay for this? The government! Who is the government? Each of us are the government, however the "haves" are the people who are funding the government since the "have-nots" do not pay taxes. Broken down to the lowest common denominator, much of this generation believes the "haves" should pay the way for the have-nots.
This way of thinking has been created by an administration which has mastered the art of divisiveness. This administration has taught our youth that rich people have become rich by taking from the poor and middle class. They have used this argument to convince the new generation that government is far more qualified to make financial decisions then those who actually earn the wages. This again, is in contrast to the Reagan philosophy. Ronald Reagan believed that government is not the solution to our problems and he believed that citizens, you and I; were much more capable than government, of making our own financial decisions.
Our Constitution gives us the rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Constitution does not guarantee the right to a home or healthcare or even food. It does however, grant each of us the right to "pursue" each of these things if we truly want or need them. We can pursue our happiness through hard work or through begging or by stealing. During the Reagan years, or through my generation, we were taught to obtain what we need or desire through hard work; a lesson taught to us by our parents and our government leaders. The idea of begging or stealing was discouraged and/or punished.
The generation of today has been taught that working for what they need or want is unfair. There is a certain pride associated with dependency, to the extent that parents can now carry their children on their healthcare insurance well into their 20's. This generation has even made begging fashionable as we see someone holding a sign at virtually every off ramp or major intersection. Stealing is virtually revered as we tend to idolize celebrities who are caught stealing. Gift giving during holidays is not a consideration or an option, but an expectation. While as children, my generation was taught to be grateful for any gift we received, today, any gift we give must not fall below an unwritten minimum; and while cash is preferred, gift cards are acceptable.
So, as I think about what Dennis Miller said on his show, I agree it would be much better to lose the anger because I do not the way it feels. However, I disagree that this is the decision of the new generation and it is their turn at bat. If people took this position during the transitional points of our nation's development, I wonder where we would be today? In fact, I believe it was our leadership which had people striving to achieve their dreams during the 1980's. It was leadership which united us as a nation after the attack on New York in 2001. While leadership had taken us to great heights in past generations, the lack of leadership has created the atmosphere of dependency and malaise we are experiencing today.
To sit back and let things happen, will not fix the problems with our young generation. Becoming vocal and teaching our young people that our nation is only as good as the people allow it to be and as strong as we make it; this, and only this will fix the problems over time. We owe this not only to future generations, but more importantly, to those who sacrificed over the past 237 years.
