Who do You Think Should Top the No Fools Allowed Friday List?

Clowns with CannonImage by soulmate02 via Flickr
All right, I guess I am just tired of some people. People I am not even sure how they got to be where they are at in the first place. Like Paris Hilton; if her family wasn't wealthy who would notice? I live in Southern California so my list can start right here.

I think Barbara "Call me Senator" Boxer is a fool and needs to be voted out! She is green with mold.

I think state Senator Rod Wright is all wrong and has chased too much green. The fool needs to go.

I think former failure of a governor, current Attorney General of California, Jerry Brown is a clown and California doesn't need his foolishness. Is he the best the Democrats have to offer?

Nancy Pelosi is the current ringmaster of fool central, also known as congress. That fool should be shot out of a cannon to see how far a hot air fool can fly.

Who do YOU think should be on this list? Leave me your nominees!

Have a great No Fools Friday!

All Call to Conservative Leaders

Ronald and Nancy Reagan at the 1988 GOP conven...Image via Wikipedia
Is it funny, odd, or distressing that the Republican Party old-timers are gripping about TEA Party candidates? As a punk I find it kind of amusing that the oldie but moldy GOP "leaders" are having a hard time with these up and coming TEA Party candidates. As a Republican I find it odd that some of the GOP folks have trouble with conservatives. What I find distressing is that the group formally known as conservatives have difficulties with their constituents who are plainly calling for their representative Senators, Representatives and any other politician calling themselves Republican, to act and vote like a conservative!

I have grown up always understanding that the Republican Party was against big government and taxes. I came of voting age and began voting during the late President Ronald Reagan's terms in office. America was great. As a true fiscal conservative he starved excessive government programs to rid the government of fat. Thank you Ronny! But, ever since Reagan we have had President after President, Democrat and Republican, that have simply added more government and increased taxes.

It is time for the GOP to pull its collective head out of the posterior shaped sand castle and LISTEN to what the people who voted them into office are telling them. We are Taxed Enough Already!

No Tax Tuesday: The Coveting Left

Say Goodnite America!Image by Templar1307 via Flickr
You know what? I just don't like paying taxes. I don't like paying taxes because it reduces my standard of living. To restate the obvious: when I don't have money I can't use it to provide for my family. Since the government is such historically bad stewards of my money I consider it a wasteful use of my money. 

What kind of person sits around thinking about taking someones money? Besides the obvious answer: thief. There is another answer; a Democrat, socialist, or leftist. Follow me on this, please. Socialists like to talk about the redistribution of wealth. Taking from me  and you to give to someone else whom "they" deem more deserving via taxation is what the left does, ever so self-righteously. They love to accuse capitalists of being greedy. The idea being that in order to succeed one must do so at the expense of someone less fortunate. I guess the thought is that hard work is really just grabbing something (profit) before someone else can get it. 

 Now, what about coveting? To covet is "to desire (another's property) eagerly or wrongfully. "I say this is what the left is all about! They covet the success of those who work hard and wrongfully believe they have a right to take another persons "wealth" and give it to whom they see fit. Everyday there are politicians sitting around coveting our money. Now, the Good Book calls coveting a sin. Taking other people's money is also called stealing, again, a sin. So, what we have is a bunch of thieves coveting our money and willing to steal it. They are called politicians.

Say what, Vern? I mean Mr. President.

United States President Barack Obama signs int...Image via Wikipedia
It is almost comical what I hear coming out of Presidente Obama's mouth. We always hear Democrats pontificate and give lip service to being champions of the poor. Yet, every policy they have seems to have the opposite effect.

The Associated Press stated, "The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama's watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national War on Poverty."
Now I know el Presidente will blame the Republicans and let off the hook the Democratic Senators and Representatives that were in the majority and who actually voted in the policies that are wreaking havoc on the economy. But, it has been over 2 years now and time to see some actual positive change, not just imagined or selective change. Not to mention time to man up and take the blame.

The best was the POTUS's comment:
"The most important anti-poverty effort is growing the economy and making sure there are enough jobs out there," Obama said Friday at a White House news conference. He stressed his commitment to helping the poor achieve middle-class status and said, "If we can grow the economy faster and create more jobs, then everybody is swept up into that virtuous cycle."
 Did the teleprompter break? He sounds like Vern (from TV commercial fame)with a comment like, "Not only did it rain, but it was powerful wet also." Yes, creating a climate for actual companies to expand and create actual jobs that produce actual products or provide actual services would OF COURSE be nice! And the idea that "everybody is swept up into that virtuous cycle" in an expanding market is way familiar! I believe that late President, Republican and free-market capitalist, Ronald Reagan called it "Trickle Down Economics."

The question is if is that just lip service campaign speech? Probably. But it will fool some of the people, will it fool you?
