It’s come to my attention from the left that I am a racist. For two years I’ve been fighting the label, but in the end, using their definition of the word, it’s true. Let me count the ways:

I believe Immigrants coming to this country should be required to learn English and our culture – if they refuse, show them the door;

I take issue with people who wish to be referred to as African Americans, Mexican Americans, Arab Americans etc.  – if you’re living in America you’re an American;

I take issue with Federal Funds aka my money paying for abortions. Morality aside, did you know that there are over 3400 abortions done EACH DAY in America and the majority of them are performed in disproportionately located black neighborhoods;

I take issue with giving every kid playing sports in school a trophy – it’s setting them up to believe no matter what they do or don’t do, they’ll win;

I am most favorable of border control and am totally against the latest name change of illegal immigrants to undocumented workers;

I disagree with President Obama on countless items – guess what – I disagreed with President Bush too;

I favor racial profiling. Why? Because granny isn’t on the record stating she wants me dead;

I’m against ObamaCare. Yes, because it’s unconstitutional and if that’s not enough of a reason how about that it will reduce the number of American jobs by a CBO estimate of 800,000;

I detest anything PC (Politically Correct). Let’s say what we mean and mean what we say. If it insults you or I, too bad –we’ll  get over it;

I believe in manners; I have unwavering morals; I believe in monogamous, heterosexual relationships;

I believe in the Bible and do not believe the left’s version of ‘there are exceptions within it’ – read it, you won’t find any;

I believe we have a culture crisis – one where people believe they are entitled to something without earning it. This must change for the only thing anyone is entitled to is the opportunity to acquire whatever ‘it’ is through their hard work not mine;

I don’t believe anything is too big to fail. If they had been operating honestly, responsibly and by the book, they would not have failed to begin with. I believe in the words personal responsibility;

I don’t care what you do behind your closed doors, that’s between you and God, but I don’t want to see it on TV or in the movies;

I believe in the US Constitution and do not believe it’s a living breathing document.  I certainly believe that we can’t afford to take the words of our founders lightly if we want to see our nation stand.

I believe America is a Republic, not a Democracy.

There’s no denying it any longer. By the left’s definition I’m a racist and I can live with that!

The President of the United States has an investment plan. In order to ‘Win the Future’ he wants nearly ALL Americans to have access to high speed wireless services, for in his mind this action will result in bringing prosperity to remote parts of America. Debatable, but in this authors mind it is a means to furthering the ObamaCare mandate of modernizing health care records and ensuring that everyone living in  America will hear/see his new Emergency Broadcasts.

Further, the President wants a high speed rail, for in his mind this will create jobs, albeit union jobs but ignore that fact for a moment.  This is the mother of all green initiatives for it will in theory reduce our dependence on oil imports. However, history tells us that Amtrak hasn’t done well so why would we assume a high speed rail will? John Mica, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman said “This is like giving Bernie Madoff another chance at handling your investment portfolio.”

High speed wireless is costly, to the tune of billions, so is high speed rail, to the tune of over $53 Billion. Bought groceries lately? Did you notice that your hard earned money isn’t going as far as it did say last year? How about gas? Like the price increases? Have you driven over a bridge or highway lately? How are those potholes working out for you and your car? Are you prepared to have your money spent on the President’s plan?

We need to start asking ourselves some serious questions. For instance, in the end what is the cost compared to the benefits? It doesn’t compute. The President contends that we can’t expect tomorrow’s economy to use yesterday’s infrastructure. Why not? If we want to invest in high speed anything perhaps we need to take the unions out of the picture. If we didn’t have to hire/pay union worker wages both pieces of Mr. Obama’s plan would be workable, but with them, it’s a costly pipe dream. Mr. Obama wants to focus on infrastructure  fine, but at this point in time it would behoove us to focus and invest on what we already have and use our money to fix it before taking on any further spending projects that we can’t afford – period.

On Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced a $750 million investment in prevention and public health -- building upon the $500 million investment last year. Sebelius said the new taxpayer dollars "will help prevent tobacco use, obesity, heart disease, stroke, and cancer; increase immunizations; and empower individuals and communities with tools and resources for local prevention and health initiatives." 

Clearly this is an example of what Mr. Reagan once said, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem". We not only have a spending problem within our government, we have a government that believes in their latest mantra 'We know better than you on how you should take care of yourself and your family', and as such they're going to war with tobacco, salt, fast food, soda, trans fats and anything else they deem hazardous to our lives. This is most amazing for Our Founders gave us a good form of government combining responsibility and accountability - the responsibility falls on us to hold our government accountable for their actions. Our job today is to remind the Government that their job is not to be our Mother or Father. Our Government, much like our children, need to be reminded every now and then of who is in charge and what their Constitutional authority really is. 

The 10th Amendment states "Powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution...nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The People - that's us! If you're not fed up with this government of ours that has become intoxicated on its own power using our own tax dollars against us - then you're just not paying attention.
