The Intelligence of a Reagan

During the first years of his presidency, many liberals outside his administration and for that matter some Republicans within his administration, thought that Ronald Reagan might not be intelligent enough for the office. They felt he couldn't stay focused on the many problems he faced with the economy in recession.

Reagan fought for and got a tax cut for us all during those first years. Many felt that because of the decrease in tax revenue, that country would not come out of the recession. Reagan wanted time to prove that his economic plans could work. He was focused on the "big picture" and not the small trappings of the presidency. Reagan "stayed the course."

Soon he proved all his critics wrong. Reaganomics worked. Tax rates went down, revenue went up, inflation went down, big government started to become smaller, and private sector jobs were created. The central idea behind Reagan's economic plans worked another miracle, the American people felt good about themselves once again!

The not so intelligent and not so focused President showed us all what can be done when everyone else thought it couldn't be done! Reagan, unlike the current administration, created jobs from the private sector through reduced taxation. Reagan, unlike the current administration, reduced government. Reagan, unlike the current administration, lifted the American spirit.

And soon we will be looking for another Ronald Reagan to take us out of the doldrums of a president worse than Jimmy Carter. I'm looking for a person who may not debate as well as others, a person who might be human and forget things, a person who is or was once a state governor like Reagan, a person committed to smaller government, and a person demanding less taxation while creating more jobs through lower taxes.

Personally...I'm looking for a Rick Perry...how about you...think about it!

More on HOAs and Bigotry

Well, folks, once upon a time I blogged about the dealings of a Home Owners Association (HOA) in Florida. The HOA had a problem with one homeowner displaying our American flag. It appears that flags aren't exclusive to the "do no display" rules HOAs enforce.

I mentioned at the time that here in Texas we have like problems with HOAs and their gulag style rules. The article below from TheBlaze.com reinforces my opinion of HOAs and specifically those in Texas. Read it carefully and forget about your freedom of speech...

I Wish I'd Said That!

Peggy Noonan once asked President Ronald Reagan about how he looked at himself in history. This is his reply...short and sweet:

"I never thought of myself as a great man, just a man committed to great ideas. I’ve always believed that individuals should take priority over the state. History has taught me that this is what sets America apart — not to remake the world in our image, but to inspire people everywhere with a sense of their own boundless possibilities. There’s no question I am an idealist, which is another way of saying I am an American.”

If we only had a leader like this!

The Next Ronald Reagan

Over the last few months, Barack Obama has spoken about Americans in some very negative terms. He tries to overlook his mistakes by pointing fingers at us and making us the “scapegoat” for his errors and lack of true leadership. Here are two examples of his “it’s your fault” comments:

Obama alleged on Sept. 29, 2011:

“The way I think about it is, this is a great, great country that had gotten a little soft and we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades. We need to get back on track.” 

Obama remarked on Nov. 12, 2011: 

“But we’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted — well, people will want to come here and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new business into America.” 

Obama’s words are reminiscent of a speech made by Jimmy Carter. On the evening of July 15, 1979 Carter admonished our country by saying, "In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but by what one owns." According to Carter, Americans no longer had the “can do” attitude! 

Ronald Reagan later responded to the remarks Carter made about our country’s lack of moral fiber. Reagan said: 

“People who talk about an age of limits are really talking about their own limitations, not America’s.” 

What Reagan said regarding Carter’s “malaise” speech can easily be used to describe Obama’s comments. Ronald Reagan lifted the American spirit; where Jimmy Carter blamed his situation to American malaise or feebleness. Barack Obama now blames his ills on the same America that Reagan once called “the shining city upon a hill.” 

It’s time for voters to find the next Ronald Reagan…that person who will bring our country out of the dark pit Obama has put us in. I feel that Rick Perry is that person. Others have their own choices, but the reality of it all is that we don’t want nor need a Barack Obama!

More Friends of Obama Benefiting From His Rule

Ever hear the name George Soros? If you haven't, then you haven't been paying attention to the Obama administration and its groupies.

Soros is not only a groupie, but a donor in good standing. Some call him the "puppet master" regarding Obama decisions. Well, folks, here's another call from the puppet man....see how he makes money off Obama!

Van Jones the Garbage Man Lives On...WHY

The OWS (Obama's Wired Stooges) needs help from an avowed Communist...so they hire Van Jones. You remember him, Obama's chum and fellow socialist, the guy Glen Beck exposed, the big time talker with the small brain. You do remember. Well, if you don't think OWS is a socialist, left-wing, radical group then why did it hire this guy? The answer...OWS is a socialist, left-wing, radical group.

Leave My Flag Alone!

I've noticed here in Texas how home owners' associations (HOA) like to use Gestapo tactics in the name of keeping a "beautiful atmosphere" in these housing concentration camps. Now we have a Florida HOA and another case of "take down that awful flag...it ruins our views."

Yes, folks, this is the same flag that our fathers/mothers and grandfathers/grandmothers fought for in the Great Wars. The flag that many of us fought under in Vietnam. The flag that men and women in Iraq and Afganistan hold high. BUT...some liberal home owners' association in Florida (and some other states as well) declares that it ruins the atmosphere!

Greenie Guy: More Obama Anti-Oil Shenanigans

The Obama administration’s decision to postpone the Canadian XL pipeline has led some energy execs to conclude that Obama is at war with American energy production. GOP Rep. Ted Poe of Texas told Newsmax.TV that he indeed suspects this is happening.

Let’s see…Obama over-extends on Solyndra for “green” energy but short changes the oil industry on a money making, job stimulating, oil price reducing pipeline. Sound like the same old Obama. The guy has to make money somewhere…just like good old Al “Hot Tamale” Gore!

Stock Tip...

If only we all had Congressional accounts...we could all be millionaires or at least thousandaires. Pelosi started the ball rolling and now the "little pixie" has more dough than Captain Hook...poor Peter Pan!

Who else has the knack for stock tips? Should we all be leery of our Congressional representatives? Maybe we should all put the "touch" on them for a loan...or like Obama, a "gift" just for being our representative in Congress?

We live in a republic, and that form of government allows us to vote in those folks in our area we feel will best represent us. Unfortunately we don't always get a real "Mr. Smith" who is looking out for our good. Too many times we get a "Mr. Politician" who's looking out for "Mr. Politician!" But, all said and done we have to trust our system and vote in the person who impresses us most and hopefully he or she will do good by our vote.

Check out the various Conservative web sites for more on Congress and it's uncanny ability to make money on the stock market.

OWS Goes Extreme

Those crazy folks manning the OWS helm are getting a bit edgy. They are dropping their drums and using the sticks for more intense beating.

Perry the Washington Outsider Speaks

Well, folks, sparks are a flying and Rick Perry is making those sparks. He has some really good ideas regarding Washington D.C. and its entrenched politicians and judges.

Rick Perry...Today's Ronald Reagan

It's funny and sad how many "elite" Liberals criticized Ronald Reagan for not being very smart. Reagan didn't go to Harvard or Yale like some of those Liberal thinkers.

Rick Perry went to Texas A&M. Here in Texas you hear a lot of "Aggie" jokes, but some really smart folks came out of A&M and we should be proud of that university...and Rick Perry!

Wear a Communist to School...Not Our Flag

It is totally crazy...schools allow kids to wear T-shirts with the image of Che Guevara, a murdering Communist, but they won't let kids wear our flag on their shirts. I'll give you this...the California school in this article was doing a "Cinco de Mayo thing" and some students wore T-shirts with the U.S. flag on them.

Maybe this was not such a smart stunt (wearing our flag) on that occasion celebrating Mexico's "independence" day. BUT...California is not part of Mexico...so what is the big deal? We have become overly "politically correct" and have forgotten our heritage.

Our country is made up of immigrants who "assimilated" into a people of ONE country not a smorgasbord of many peoples and nationalities. We were assimilated or absorbed into an American way of life.

We can remember our heritage as individual nationalities, but we must always remember our American heritage. I thank my Mexican grandparents for seeking a better life here in Texas. And thanks to them for assimilating and learning English and becoming decent citizens.

My point...California school authorities need to remember this is the U.S.A. and if students want to remind their classmates that they do live in the U.S.A. by wearing a shirt with our flag on it no matter the occasion...all the power to them...and keep the courts out of this! Oh yes...free speech is another issue in this fiasco!

Before the pundits start to criticize Rick Perry for his memory loss...remember that last time you left your car keys in your locked car...remember when your best high school friend lost his name because you forgot it...remember the day you locked yourself out of your house...remember that speech you practiced so well that you forgot the main idea. Yes, folks, we are all human and prone to error. No one is perfect and Rick showed he is not above us. He may have problems talking unlike Obama, but unlike Obama...Perry gets things done...RIGHT!

Obama Blunders USAJobs.gov

In 2004 the federal government brought the web site USAJobs.gov online. People in search of federal employment are able to use this site to match their skills to actual openings. Great Idea! At that time the web site was created and monitored by Monster.com, one of the biggest job search companies in the private industry. Things looked pretty good for USAJobs.com under Monster's supervision...but then...

The Obama Administration decided that the federal government good do a better job than Monster.com and spent around $6 million developing a new "in-house" version of the site. The Office of Personnel Management ran the site and soon the bombs started falling.

People going online to do job searches soon crashed the web site. The web site also ran at "snail mail" speed and eventually locked out thousands of applicants. So much for government intervention!

Monster.com has offered its services while the federal government revamps its "in-house" job search monster. Let's see if USAJobs.com version 1.5 works any better...or how about letting the free enterprise system work and let Monster.com take over! Not under Obama the Socialist!!

FYI...Thanks to the Wall Street Journal for publishing this information in their October 25th issue. I'm just passing it on to you, my blog reader.

Occupiers Hit New Low...Using Kids

Excerpt from HOTAIR.COM..."Isn’t it great when families get together for quality time? Take a break from TV and game consoles and go out together for a fun evening, like strolling through the park, going to the zoo, or … blocking doors at political events? Stephen Gutowski found the toddler shields deployed at Occupy DC, and wondered what idiot would put two small children in harm’s way."

Brian Williams - Climate Expert

NBC junkolist, Brian Williams, claims that the snow storms that hit the U.S. East were caused by global warming. He had a Dr. Gerry Meehl proclaim that "... we're already experiencing climate change." And then another climate expert, Mr. John Nielson-Gammon added "...the impact of climate change has manifested itself in a tangible way within the state of Texas.

I wonder if any of these "climate experts" (Williams, Meehl, and Nielson-Gammon) has heard of El Nino and La Nina. These weather patterns come and go each year. I'm no expert, but every weather forecast I've seen mentions these weather patterns and how they can cause snow storms up East and drought in the Southwest.

OWS List from The Blaze Online

This Is the Comprehensive List of Those Supporting Occupy Wall St.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 9:35am by   

Mike Opelka

“Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.” That line is one of the famous “Mom-ilies” often heard in homes all around the country. Perhaps mothers have drawn this wisdom from the Bible and Proverbs 13:20: “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Either way, The Blaze has presented details on the people inside the OWS movement as well as those believed to be supporting it with money, material goods (sleeping bags, non-perishable foods, etc.), organizational skills, and even storage space. We have named names from the White House to the American Nazi Party, we have shown connections to several unions (like SEIU, UFT, and TWU) and pointed out the organizers like the Working Families Party and ACORN.

This morning we ask you to consider the recently posted Official list of Occupy Wall Street’s supporters, sponsors, and sympathizers put together by intrepid blogger Zombie.

“Local” supporters:

Communist Party USA
The American Nazi Party
Revolutionary Communist Party
Black Panthers
Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan
CAIR

Some big names in the political world have also lent support to the cause:

President Barack Obama
Vice President Joe Biden
Nancy Pelosi

International Leaders and Governments:

Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei
Hugo Chavez
Revolutionary Guards of Iran
The Govt of North Korea
Communist Party of China
Hezbollah

“As each new controversial endorsement has appeared over the last month, OWS supporters have dismissed them one by one as ‘isolated examples’ that don’t reflect any overall trend toward extremism,” writes Zombie. “But when viewed in aggregate like this, it becomes much more difficult to dismiss any individual endorsement as an aberration; instead, an undeniable pattern emerges.”

Zombie has sourced the list with links back to evidence of participation or support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. It will be regularly updated.

The full list can be seen here.
