We want the American dream back. An appeal to any country friendly to Americans...

We the people of America should be completely disgusted and tired of the Democrat party and its supporters. We were not placed on this planet by God to earn money for those jackasses in the democrat party to confiscate from us. Using Ayn Rand's idea in Atlas Shrugged, why should we not remove ourselves from this country to a place that appreciates talented and financially capable individuals. Without people like you the reader and this author, the progressives will have nothing. They need our money to force us to become socialists. Why should we stay here in a place where 47% of the population, 90% of the education system, all unions and the vast majority of all government employees have it out to take everything we own.

We the people who are patriots of America are patriots of the idea of government created by the people as defined by the Founding Fathers of this country. We are not obligated to stay in a place where the Constitution no longer applies. I am a patriot of the America where freedom is assured, with a government based on the Constitution created from natural law, my rights are mine to define, the government protects my rights and I can pursue my happiness and live my life anyway I choose. America is not this land, it is the people. It is the 45% of the population that still believes the founding fathers created the best country in history.

Ms Rand has a good idea. Why not have Americans take their skills and money to a place that welcomes us. Everyone wants to come to America. What most don't realize is America is the people. It is our attitude, our morals and our culture. We can bring America to any country we adopt and perhaps we should. We can always move back once the progressives and their supporters collapse in their own misery. Why should we stay and let them take everything from us and follow them into the oblivion of socialism they want so much.

Perhaps we could appeal to some country in the world, that is willing to take Americans in and let us transform them into the America people want to immigrate too.

Isn't the saying that home is where ever you and your loved ones are? America is it's people and we can form this government anywhere in the world. Perhaps we should do something as daring as the Founders and separate ourselves from our oppressors so we can again follow the path leading to the American dream. We should want to have the dream back. The democrats and their supporters have a different dream, one where everyone is equally miserable. The American dream is still alive, it just needs a home because clearly the Democrats have decided to alienate and make unwelcome the American dream and anyone who still believes in that dream.

Any government reading this outside of the the United States, consider this idea. If you make laws that welcome Americans as immigrants, you will likely find many willing to relocate. We have money, ethics, skills, morals, fortitude and always do everything possible to help as evidenced by our worldwide generosity. If you believe as we do, that America is a great country, perhaps you can make a second America one based on the original ideas of America and have the American people move to your country and help you create a new and potentially a country that exceeds the greatest nations that have existed in the past.

Obamacare is in and is the next step to the democrats inflicting American with socialism

For the first time in American history a political party has done what only occurred in banana republics, tyrannies and socialist countries in the past. The democrats have forced america into a National Healthcare system that will first tax everyone into poverty for 4 years with no actual benefit and during that 4 years the rest of the law will ensure the private medical industry and insurance industry will cease to exist.

Never before have politicians in America passed a law that had the majority of the population against it. Numbers range from 60 to 75% but clearly the majority don't want it. What is clear is the democrats have nailed shut their own coffin and have likely not only lost power this November but may have killed their chance at power again for 20 or more years. The question is what is in this bill that has them willing to let the entire party lose elections in november?

Here is what to expect from Obamacare.

Taxes going up very high. Of course, the democrats always claim they are taxing the rich and their core voters always buy that line. In reality, these guys are rich themselves and are not going to tax their own money or their friends. It will be the middle class that pays for this. Remember, they need not provide any services until 2014, after Obama's presumed re-election, though he may now only be a 1 term president. So from now until 2014, they will move the taxing from the so called rich , to the middle class. The rich know how to hide their money in ways to ensure no taxing will fall on them and this new law will likely drive the upper middle class into the same tax shelters. This leaves everyone else left to work like good socialist slaves for the benefit of the democrats and the so called poor with no insurance.

If you are retired, expect medicare to become more expensive and have reduced services. Obama claims he will "eliminate waste and fraud" in medicare and use that savings for the new national healthcare. Ask yourself when the last time any congress or president has ever dealt with waste or fraud or when they have ever reduced the cost of anything. Be assured just like in England and Canada, if you are retired, you will not be getting much. They government will set up rules that dictate who gets care when and being elderly is a mark against you.

The worse is yet to come. As the democrats erode this country by confiscating all money, nationalizing yet another industry and creating a so called "right" to healthcare, they are destroying this country as assuredly as any other socialist nation has destroyed itself.

The key is creating a right. The Constiution does not grant the government any authority over rights. WE the people determine rights, the government protects them. Now that the democrats have precedent in creating a right, be assured they will create more and remove the ones they find inconvenient. The government is also taking even more of the economy than at any other time in history. The very protections this country started with to prevent what happened in the House under Nancy Pelosi today. The government does not have the authority to take an industry, nationalize and destroy it and create rights. Those protections are mentioned at the beginning of this blog, limits on funds and senators voted by state legislatures.

People, we need to force the democrats out and force the republicans to repeal this law. We have no other choice. If this does not happen, there is no where else for productive americans to go. These people are doing to us what the bolesheviks did to russia, what the current socialists in Europe are doing to their people and we are headed down the path China is on now.

At some point, we need to return to the America started by the US constitution because there is no room for a middle class in a socialist nation. Only the rich politicians and their poor slaves can live in the society the Democrats are building today.

The progressive marxist Democrats have handed the ball to the Republicans but will there be any action?

The democrats in their zeal to impose communism on the people have basically handed the ball over to the Republicans in November.

The Political Shaman will predict the GOP politicians will not reverse anything the democrats do.

Where in the last 70 years has any party reversed anything the previous party did. Sure maybe prohibition could be counted but in reality that had little effect on anything. Do you see the Republicans actually reversing Carbon Tax or Healthcare should they be passed? Do you believe the Republicans will enact a new Bush Tax cut after expiration? Do you think the Republicans will return unspent stimulus money, return the land taken recently in a land grab but the feds to own more land in the west? Do you feel the republicans can finally start to dismantle or make more effective Social Security or Medicare?

Best of all, do you believe the Republicans will reverse the taxes, spending and regulation killing this country?

There is no history supporting any of this. The only thing we can hope for from them is a stalling of the country on its current path to Marxism. That is what the last few decades of history shows. Republicans will slow the damage but not fix it.

It will be a good thing to have the progressives out of power. Just don't get too excited because no one is going to actually fix anything either.

The democrats are falling apart, yet the still have the power to force us to take anything, or do they?

The last few weeks have been incredible with the Democrats causing themselves all kinds of problems. They are losing elections they should not lose, having tickle fests, resigning, not running subsequent terms, taxing the hell out of us, spending more than any time in the past and being called out for pushing their marxist progressive agenda.

The real problem though is the Prophet Obama and Queen Pelosi have not just doubled down, they are going all in and have flatly said they will force their healthcare and presumably anything else down our throats, for our own good.

Here is the question. How can they force the people into anything? A law must be accepted by the majority of the people or the government will need to use violence to force us. Perhaps the American People need to start ignoring laws passed that are not legitimate nor accepted. The biggest mistake the people ever made was around slavery and the biggest excuse justifying it continuing for so long was "the law". In reality, Congress, nor the Supreme Court could vote for or rule in favor of any slave law because it is impossible for either entity to circumvent unalienable rights.

We have a right to live in the country without being forced by the government to do anything detrimental to our ability to live as free individuals. The fact that congress and the prophet may vote or pass a law is totally irrelevant, if the people stand up for their rights and ignore the law. Part of the success of America is the People in general voluntarily follow the law. We follow most laws but not all of them. Most people will speed occasionally or water their lawn against the rules prescribed and have no problem say getting an abortion when it was still illegal or drinking during prohibition. In fact, drug laws are on the books and many ignore those and the rest of the people don't care too much or the government would not have such a hard time enforcing those laws.

It is simple People of America, ignore the laws congress passes that are detrimental to us or are against the constitution. Some laws can't be ignored so easily, such as tax laws, since our money is taken before we get it. For these so called laws, perhaps we need to form a class action lawsuit against the individual politicians for passing tax and spending laws that have effectively ruined the economy.

Just remember people of America, we don't have to take it from the politician, unless they pick up a gun, they can't force us, unless of course they succeed in removing the 2nd amendment.

Middle class America, perhaps it is time to leave...

Middle class America, 50% of the country is voting in democrat politicians to steal your money, force you out of your homes and vehicles and slowly taking every freedom you have.

You are the producers of this country. The engineers, the teachers, the programmers, the technicians, plumbers, mechanics and the ones supporting the liberal socialist programs against your will. Every year these politicians take more and 50% of your fellow citizens vote them in to do this.

Perhaps it is time to leave. American is the best country on earth because of the Americans who produce, who live decent lives and simply want to ensure their own families are taken care of and have the generosity to help others when needed. We are America, not the 50% of people taking from you.

If we leave, they will not survive. There are plenty of decent countries who would take Americans with open arms, treat us well and since America is us, anywhere we go will effectively be America. This idea is not new as it is the main solution in Atlas Shrugged for example. It would not be a long stay. After all, how long could the liberals last in America without the people whose money they confiscate for their ideology and welfare programs.

Not long at all, plus when they implode not only will America be free again for us to go back too, we will be bringing with us other countries likely very friendly to Americans and more than willing to continue the profitable relationship after the liberals have finally defeated themselves.

As long as the middle class productive people stay, the democrats will keep stealing our money until we have none, we are all destitute and we will not be able to leave.

Just a thought because the only other option is to pick up guns and force the liberals to leave but that would make us no better than they are, after all the end result of the liberal marxist path is an army turned against the people, at least every other example of marxism in the past ended this way, why would it be different this time, after 100 million already killed in the last 100 years.

Lets follow the example set by the very wealthy, just leave and let the democrats wither away on their own.

Finally the socialist Democrats are losing power but will the republicans do anything useful?

Finally, after almost a year of the Prophet Obama, Queen Pelosi and Court Jester Reid trying to convert American into a socialist utopia, the people of Massachusetts have spoken. The Democrats have lost their filibuster proof majority which effectively stops the Obama agenda in its tracks, assuming the Republicans have the backbone to actually use the 41 vote advantage they have.

It would seem the liberal democrats and Obama their messiah did not learn well the lessons taught by Nikita Khrushchev, former leader of the Soviet Union who said American can't be converted to communism instantly, it has to be done slowly over time. It is a good thing that Obama and his followers do not pay attention to history as we know by their quotes of Chairman Mao and Hollywood celebrities insistence on wearing pictures of Che the Cuban general responsible for killing hundreds. Though perhaps if the progressive liberal marxists in the democrat party did read history, they would know the old progressive marxist agenda is a failure but that may be asking too much.

The people of Massachusetts, a dark blue state has overwhelmingly rejected the democrats and their 8 years of insane government incompetence and spending compressed into 1 year. The situation is grim for the democrats and as the Political Shaman predicted, the democrats did go to their core belief of total marxism and attempted to in one year convert American, which predictably failed. We will see the Democrats repeat 1994 and lose everything again but the question is about the republicans. Will they take up the ball, the American people just knocked out of the hands of the democrats?

Probably not.

You see, the republicans would have to go back to the core Constitutional conservative belief that government is the problem. The republicans would have to actually stop the spending and pay back the stimulus, actually reduce taxes and above all, reduce the cost of government and the effects of bogus regulations.

Since no congress in living memory has actually reversed bad laws, truly cut spending and effectively reduced taxes enough to reduce it from a burden to a cost, it is safe to conclude the republicans will not be setting a precedent.

We can possibly hope for the republicans to grow a pair and at least go back to the 1994 mentality and perhaps make a new contract with America.

It is good news the Democrats have been stopped before they could finish off the country but America will remain on the precipice of destitution as long as the current government and laws remain in place.

The Prophet Obama send troops to Afghanistan using the Bush doctrine for war

The Prophet Obama has finally decided after over 3 months, to send more troops to Afghanistan. His defense of this surge is using the same surge plan that Bush used in Iraq.

This is great, The Prophet has screwed everything else up but at least he made a good move here. Iraq and Afghanistan are different, though and it is uncertain we will succeed in a stable government there, which seems to be the goal. In reality, we only need to kill terrorists there, it really makes on difference on the government installed there but it probably can't hurt if the end result is dead terrorists and a stable afghan government.

The repubelicans do need to calm down on the 19 months. The same guy who ran the DOD for Bush is still in charge and we should take the Generals at their word that 19 months is merely a time when they will consider if they can change the battle plan. We could be wrong and if so, then it would be on Obama's head if he planned to cut and run all along though clearly he is planning to use either a claimed victory or a cut and run as political points for the 2012 election.

Either way, the Prophet is doing a Surge, which worked before and is a fairly good plan to try again. Considering his campaign promises were almost entirely the liberal socialist mindset of we just need to understand those that are saying they will kill everyone, it is nice to see that for a moment a few of his braincells worked long enough to make a good decision.

Climategate... We really didn't need it to know these "scientists" were fabricating the entire global warming hysteria

Climategate is all over the media for the last few days, basically some emails and documents found on a public server show evidence that the so called "scientists" who have claimed that global warming is a human caused planet killing phenomenon were in fact fabricating the entire thing.

Do we really need these emails to confirm what should already be known? Their data comes from less than 100 years of temperature data, that is imbalanced across the planet unless you believe the claim that thermometers in the US and Europe and some scattered parts of the planet some how equals the temperature of the entire planet. They rely on tree ring data which only indicates a warming trend for the last few hundred years and does not prove anything about the cause or if it is even unnatural. Ice core data shows the CO2 rise is actually after the temperature rise and is an effect repeated between all of the ice ages, indicated we are in fact between ice ages though this information is suppressed.

These "scientists" also have arbitrarily set a "global" temperature and chose what the "normal" temperature should be, even though over earths 4 billion year history, there is no evidence for what "normal" should be nor that this measure is in fact effective.

The main "evidence" of all of this hysteria are so called climate models. The scientists use the above suspect and conflicting data as well as the entirely fabricated average global temperature and of course the model will predict catastrophe.

None of the so called causes can be repeated or tested in a lab. CO2 is one of the main molecules in the biosphere called earth, how can this possibly be a pollutant. Actual laboratory tests show that water vapor is a better and more likely culprit for global warming, which is caused by a hotter sun. The sun is also proven to be warmer now than it has been in many years.

The ice core and other data showing the CO2 and Temperature during and between ice ages, is in fact the best indicator of what is happening. This data shows between every ice age is a huge but short warming period(short is relative to earths 4 billion years) followed by a long ice age. Today's warming is neither hotter than the past nor getting hotter at a higher rate.

In short, there is no human caused global warming, the entire thing was fabricated as logic of the "evidence" should show anyone with a brain and proven by these emails.

A real scientist would simply gather evidence and form conclusions based on the evidence. What has happened here is climategaters have decided there is human caused global warming and seek to "prove" it by collecting partial data, hiding contrary evidence and fabricating the rest.

It is time now we end this nonsense. Should we continue we will suffer more than just the massive financial burden for the cap and trade tax on your breathing.

Scientists are moving toward removing "carbon" from the energy production process by storing it underground. Here is the major problem with this. For every CO2 molecule forced underground or otherwise taken out of the atmosphere by one of these methods, is taking 2 oxygen atoms and burying those as well. The Political Shaman has major issues with climategaters, reducing the amount of oxygen in the environment for he would like to have enough to breathe. The only effective way to get this Oxygen back into the atmosphere is to let plants use the CO2, which means leaving the CO2 in the atmosphere. There is no prediction at all on what happens underground if you start filling the empty spaces with CO2, such as saturating the ground water with so much CO2, it becomes undrinkable.

Think like these idiot scientists. They will bury CO2, then when there is not enough oxygen, they will give us oxygen tanks, when not enough CO2 is available for plants, they will find a way to manufacture it. This is akin to the perpetual prescription drug problem of doctors giving you one medicine, then another to counter the side effects of the first, then another pill to counteract the side effect of the second medicine.

Think deep down in your mind, do you really want these scientists, messing with the planet's biosphere?

It makes sense that our burning fossil fuels is creating more CO2, which uses up oxygen. It is a fact that humans do cause pollution. However, CO2 is not the problem. The reason the politicians and scientists want CO2 to be the culprit is because there is no way to measure for the correct amount. It isn't causing any problems, so the climategaters can make any claim about it and they will be right how could they not be right, when they fabricated the problem to begin with.

There really is actual pollution to end or mitigate in this world, such as sewage in rivers. However, that would take real scientists and real effort to solve and these problems would be solved, something no politician wants, solved problems means no power or money to gain, so why solve them.

CO2 and global warming is just a perpetual method for the scientists involved to keep getting grants and politicians to keep making laws to take more money and have a way to persecute those who they don't like.

People of the world, do yourselves a favor and vilify the scientists, media and others involved to shut them down forever. Vote out the politicians involved as well. The politicians are as much to blame for the perpetuation of this and nearly every other problem. If we do not, all of us will eventually be just slowly dying, wearing government issues oxygen tanks, eating government produced MREs, living in government approved locations all in the name of saving the planet.

The government is the problem...

Politicians claim almost continuously they will solve all problems. Social Security, Unemployment, recessions, medical costs, insurance costs, banking, war and etc... are all examples of these so called problems and how the politicians will solve them.

The real problem is all of these issue the politicians want to fix, were created and caused by the government itself. Any government program having trouble was created by the politicians, so logically the politicians are the cause of the problems. War is another, though in this case it is other countries political leadership that is the real problem. American politicians are only failures here for letting antagonistic political and theocratic dictators threaten our existence for so long and doing nothing about it but wishing these psychos across the ocean will just see reason.

Indirectly, recessions, healthcare and nearly every other problem is caused by the politicians because of their interference through taxation, regulation, borrowing and printing money. It would seem the industries with the most problems are also the ones with the most government interference. Taxation and regulation, including the government protecting racketeering efforts by unions, cause recessions. Bailouts were for the more heavily regulated industries or union protected industries. Healthcare is expensive because of regulation and more regulation is on the way.

How can a business hire an employee, when so much capital is redirected into government coffers. After all, the governments through taxes and borrowing are taking nearly 50% of all capital earned each year, is it unreasonable to think the economy will remain in recession when 50% of all capital is being confiscated by the government?

Americans and people around the world, the problem we all face is universal. The politician, bureaucrat and theocrat are the biggest problems we all face. Getting rid of them and their impact on the world is the best thing we could do for ourselves. This is not advocacy for anarchy, only the replacement of these parasites with men and women who truly will manage the government and limit law to what is necessary for this purpose. Examples of legitimate government tasks are protection of individual rights, protection of the country, mediating disputes between individuals, dealing with criminals and to a limited degree minimizing the effects of fraud from businesses.

Anything else the government does is just the nonsense politicians do for their own personal power and wealth.

The government is the real problem and it is insane for the people to believe the politicians who cause these problems, will somehow be able to fix them.

Obamacare, The democrats will force it on America, even if Americans don't want it.

It seems that the Democrats are going to force this Obamacare insanity on America, no matter what the people say about it.

After voting yes for a "Concept" as the democrats put it, the bill is now in the Senate and will soon be voted on. Democrat politicians have flatly stated that they don't care if the majority of people don't want it. These Democrats do not care if it is going to do nothing and cost massive amounts of money.

They can't even explain how it is the combination of Obamacare and Medicare will cost more than the entire healthcare industry currently is.

There is only one goal the Democrats have in mind. Another Marxist welfare program they can use to take more money and maintain power. This happened in the 30s and 60s with Social Security and Medicare. Both are expensive failed systems that succeeded in ensuring Democrats kept power and had an excuse to take money.

America wake up. The Democrats are devaluing America faster than the people can recover from the damage. Obama and the democrats have done more damage in less than a year than what normally takes 8 years to do. The American people will not be able to generate a large enough economy at a fast enough rate to absorb 8 years of damage done in 10 months.

Obamacare will make it another 8 years of damage done instantly.

Why would they take the tax money for Obamacare now but not actually implement the plan until after Obama's presumed reelection?

Why would Obamacare only be for those in need but force everyone else to pay for it?

Power and money is all the Democrats want, these welfare bureaucracies they create have only one purpose, power and money.

America your country is slowly being bled to death by the Democrats and they have been doing this for decades, when are you going to vote these fools out of power?

The Prophet Obama gets a Nobel peace prize for doing....Nothing? At least he is American

It is true. The Prophet Obama actually was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing. The committee that voted for him actually admitted they did awarded the price based on the promises that Obama has stated about reducing nuclear weapons and encouraging peace in the areas of the world where Muslim tyrants and communist dictators are doing killing women for speaking out, genocide and threatening the world with destruction.

The Prophet has exacerbated the Afghan war, Iran has admitted to an extra nuclear weapons facility and no where have Muslim terrorists stopped killing and Muslim leaders still saction violence with their laws. So where is the promise of peace the Norwegian committee thinks Obama is going to accomplish?

Some people were right to wonder what is going on. Basically stating that the prize should go to someone who has actually done something.

The frightening comments were the world leaders who think giving Obama this reward as a prize for bringing America in line with the beliefs of the rest of the world for economics, environmentalism and violence. This is frightening because the rest of the world is a mess and they should be emulating America. If they did, there probably would be peace, less weapons, no more genocides, no slavery, no girls being sprayed with acid, no beheadings and the people of the world would probably have some money to take care of themselves. The world politicians and theocrats have long cherished their freedom to subjugate and kill anyone in the name of their personal power and they want Americans to emulate them?

The Nobel committee in Norway proved long ago they are fools and the prize worthless. This happened the day they awarded the prize to the terrorist Yasser Arafat. That violent animal murdered who knows how many for his power and through his leadership, the PLO murdered hundreds and rival offshoot organizations murdered hundreds more. Arafat practically invented modern terrorism such as kids strapping bombs to their chest to go murder a bus full of other kids. The Nobel peace prize went to Yasser for his promise to stop killing more people.

So much for promises.

The Prophet Obama has many promises, so far he has not accomplished any of them and in fact is making most of American life harder and certainly has had no influence on peace. How could he have any effect in the world, since he is basically handing over the leadership of the world to the Europeans?

At least now the American people can see why the conservatives call him Prophet, Saint or Messiah. It is a joke on the fools who follow a man who can do nothing or make things worse and yet he is still lauded and awarded.

The Prophet Obama may have a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing but at least he is American. There are 13 prizes in all and 11 of them went to Americans. This is a good thing at least.

"You lie" is racist are you kidding NY Times?

It would appear the liberal columnist Maureen Dowd is either insane, stupid or really good at protecting her prophet Obama.

This is the controversy caused by Republican Joe Wilson yelling "You Lie" during Obama's Campaign speech or whatever it is called given to the senate mostly on Obamacare.

Regardless of the opinion about Obama lying or not or Wilson being rude or expressing the concerns of millions, Maureen Dowd has created a new non-existent controversy over this to basically deflect the fact that the liberals look stupid with their Standard bearer doing nothing but regurgitating the same tired talking points the liberals have been saying for months about healthcare.

She claims that Wilson's response was not about Obama's claims during the speech. According to Dowd this was all racist. She decided she heard the word " boy" as in "You Lie, Boy" then proceeds to run of a list of supposed racist decisions Wilson has done and groups he is in. She then follows this with "Some people just can’t believe a black man is president and will never accept it." and the rest of her article attempts to create this myth that anyone against Obama is not against his moronic plans, these people are against an African American as president. Obama and the democrats are not spending insane amounts of money and imposing socialism, no the liberals are ok, anyone against the liberals are just closet racists who simply don't like the fact that whitey is not president.

Well Moron Dowd, the Political Shaman will have to disagree. There is no evidence that the majority of the population is racist. The majority of the population is conservative, independent of party affiliation and the people protesting Obama and Pelosi are not racist, they are coming to their senses. It does not take much intellectual capacity to realize that you just can't borrow trillions and rack up more national debt than our economy can produce over years. These people are waking up and seeing socialism being imposed, something most of us know is a complete and total failure, thanks to recent history formed by the demise of counties like the soviet union. These people know deep down that the government is here to protect rights and the people, not grant and restrict rights, confiscate all property and only protect those people deemed worth of attention.

No Maureen, no one protesting Obama is racist, they are protesting the left's desire to follow the likes of Lenin into oblivion and taking us along for the ride.

The people are against bad ideas and no race has a monopoly on bad ideas but it does seem that the democrat party is trying to monopolize these bad ideas.

Next time Maureen Dowd, why don't you be a real Journalist or at least be honest during a debate and instead of creating controversy about race that does not exist, try defending these bad ideas created by the democrat party you support.

Obamacare, healthcare or any care

The Prophet Obama had his little campaign speech/address to congress on his so-called healthcare plans. The speech itself was just as pretty as all of his campaign speeches, promising the impossible and having no actual substance in the speech that could shed light on any actual solution. The most interesting point is The Prophet has this "plan" of his kicking in 4 years from now, conveniently after his presumed re-election.

The Prophet, the democrats nor the republicans are offering ideas that actually solve the problems with healthcare. Some problems are mentions, such has preventing loss of insurance coverage or obtaining coverage due to pre-existing conditions or tort reform. Here is the issue with all of the politicians idiotic ideas, they themselves and their idiotic laws, their uneven application of laws and failure to protect the people are the cause of the problems, which means the government is the cause and they could fix the problems and it cost nothing extra to the taxpayer or patient.

So why are the politicians NOT fixing anything? The Political Shaman could speculate that the reason is power and money but the reason doesn't matter. History shows that the politicians are either unwilling or incapable of fixing any problem, especially the problems they cause.

The laughable comment the Prophet made during his speech was how he will cut waste and fraud in medicare and use the saved money to pay for the Obamacare. Where in history has any politician cut waste and fraud? The democrats and republicans practically invented the both government waste and fraud and the Prophet who is a former senator and community organizer has had years of experience doing both himself. As a Senator, creating waste and as a community organizer, working for organizations skilled at committing fraud.

So who really cares what the Obamacare plans are, what the republican plans are or any other plan for healthcare. The actual result of any healthcare change by a politician is more fraud, more waste, more taxes, more regulation, more costs, more for their power and more for their pocketbooks and the citizens of American having to pay for it all, history doesn't lie.

The Democrats promised change, so where is it? Credit must be given to the Prophet Obama for supporting the war.

So far the Democrats have changed nothing. They are pushing socialism as they always have, are spending money like it grows on trees as the always have, they are still giving lobbyists more consideration than the people as they have always done and there is WAR.

What happened to the promise to bring troops home? The Prophet Obama flatly said he would bring troops home and that the war against terrorism was wrong. The liberal media did everything they could to ensure the war was always on the front page to ridicule Bush with for the entire time. The lib media published the number of dead every day and had various people against the war in the news constantly and the democrats rode that antiwar pony into power, regardless of the fact that the position to let terrorists kill us is wrong.

So what happens after they get power? The escalate the war in Afghanistan and spending on the war is higher than it was under Bush. So where is the promised change? Why are the troops still dying? Why is the lib media now suppressing criticism of the war? Why are they not making big news out of every death?

The Prophet Obama deserves credit though. We should escalate the war until the insane fools who call themselves Muslim give up or are dead. Change here would have been bad.

Still it is a concern about the media and free press and their impartial reporting is certainly in question, since this is the same war Bush started, yet they are not attacking Obama for escalating it as they attacked Bush for years.

What is the point of freedom of the press, if all the press does is become a cheerleading team and defender of socialism and single party rule?

Polls indicate the majority of Americans do not believe the stimulus is working and they want their money back.

As predicted by the Political Shaman in an earlier blog the stimulus would not work. Basically the stimulus spending spree was based on FDRs socialist spending ideas from the 1930s during the depression. Considering the Depression existed beyond 3 years as all other recessions before and since were 3 years or less, we can conclude FDR failed.

Here is the problem with the stimulus, socialism doesn't work. Nearly all of the stimulus is earmarked for every socialist program the Democrats have and desire to make. You simply can't take money from those you feel have plenty and give it to those you feel are in need. Additionally, spending this money to support insane things like cap and trade, unions and other bogus regulations only makes the problem worse.

The last problem of the stimulus is where the money went. The consumer represents 2/3rds of the economy. 66% of all money in America is earned and spent by the people, the consumers. Yet, Obama and his liberal comrades threw this money at 1/3rd of the economy. So what did they expect? Is it really surprising that the stimulus failed when your plan is to take trillions from 66% of the economy, reducing their ability to spend and giving it to 33% of the economy? To make this even more of a joke, the consumers got nothing out of it. No break from union insanity, no relief from taxes or reduced costs on say fuel, no new science producing a marketable technology nor even a break from the bad mortgages.

Mortgages are a good example. It would have been cheaper and more effective for Obama to just pay off the bad, near failing or flipped mortgages, than what was done, which was to buy the bad loans from the banks and make these people keep paying. Assuming anything should have been done at all, since the banks could have renegotiated these loans. Still, why should the taxpayers take a risk on bad loans for 30 more years, when it would have been cheaper to just pay them off?

Apparently the American people are not as blind as the used to be. Polls now indicate that the people do not believe the stimulus had any effect or is not working. Additionally, the majority of people would like the unspent money returned. This makes sense as it would either reduce the massive national debt Obama is racking up or return capital to the 66% of the economy that needs it to get us out of this recession.

Too bad what the people want is contradictory to what the Democrats want, if they admit they were wrong and give the money back, they will not be able to achieve their goal of maintaining power and imposing socialism.

Be assured Obama and the democrats will not return a single penny of money they should never have taken or printed in the first place.
