Today Chrysler went Bankrupt. GM is not far behind. As I recall, when we the people (the Federal Government) loaded the money to GM and Chrysler, we were to be paid back before anyone else. Apparently everyone has forgotten the initial bailout. Our Government needs to get out of the economy. It's job is to keep the peace between the states, engage in foreign affairs and presenting the US to other countries. We are not to engage in control of the economy. It will run itself if we only let it. Barny Frank and the House Banking Committee decided to involve itself in the housing, and look what that did. Now the Car Manufacturers are out of business because no one wants to buy the cars the Federal Government is forcing the manufacturers are making. And it will be more of the same. What is going to happen to the economy next. We haven't seen the melt down of credit companies and the commercial Real Estate yet. This could further impact the economy and prevent the recovery until later 2010. If that happens, we may see a ground swell of resentment and the Republicans could be swept back into office. My hope is they remain true to their conservative roots.

I am trying to understand why we are accepting the statements from the left that Right leaning people are by definition racist, sexist, and fascist. All of this doesn't make sense. The KKK members were to a man, Democrats. The Politicians who were to a man against Civil Rights, Democrats. The Progressives and Fascists in the early 20th century, Democrats. One of the most racist presidents was Woodrow Wilson. The armed forces prior to his presidency was integrated. He segregated the army. He also fired all black people from the White House. He is said to say that he never ever wanted to see black people. He firmly believed that anyone not white was less then human and therefore needed to be controlled. He was a democrat.
It was Republicans that passed the 13, 14, and 15th constitution amendments. Democrats fought them tooth and nail. Republicans were lynched, arrested for trumped up charges and run out of town and states. All civil rights legislation over the years have all been initiated by Republicans. The 1964 civil rights bill was initiated by the Republicans. Lyndon Johnson received credit only because he signed the bill. Through out history, it is apparent that the more conservative a person would be, the less likely the person will be racist. In fact, Republican party planks as early as Lincoln were anti slavery, pro equal rights, pro suffrage, and small government and individual rights. Any Democrat expressing right wing racism, and the KKK with Republicans are either showing extreme ignorance or deception.
I believe that the Democrat party is on of elitist racism and believes that the common man must be controlled. That is why they consistently advocate greater government control, reduction of state rights and advocate stronger federal government. That is also why the Democrats are trying so hard to move to a trans-internationalism so they can get around the pesky provisions in the bill of rights especially the 1 and 2 amendment. If they can, they can remove religion and advocate worship of the state (Fascism), and removal of Gun rights. The 2nd amendment was placed there not to advocate hunting but to have an armed public in order to provide a constraint on the Government. We often think that the balance of power is between the three branches of the Government. In fact I believe the 2nd amendment shows that the actual balance of power was 5 ways. We have a balance between the three branches (Judicial, Legislative, and Executive. The other 2 ways belong to the people, elective and ultimately, the power to replace the government should it become necessary.
On a scale between Left and right, we all accept that the Communist belong on the far left. They believe in total state control and ownership of all means of production. Fascism, or Progressivism, didn't hold the state needed ownership of the means of production, but rather only control. The far left today believe this is needed. Secretary Clinton has actually stated she was a Progressive Liberal Democrat. The Right or Republican view in contrast, believed in as little government as possible. Strong individual rights were very important. This is why Republicans as a group tend to not be racist. This would interfere with individual rights. To be racist would require control. This is the belief of the left, not right.

I was going to post about the issues at home with the excess spending that will surely send us into out of control borrowing and resulting inflation. However, I heard about the situation in Pakistan. The Taliban has now focused on Pakistan rather then Afghanistan.
This is very serious because Pakistan is a nation that has nuclear weapons. The Taliban has not shown itself to be a responsible or reasonable nation. I don't think they would be able to do any additional science due to their beliefs, but they might show an inclination toward using the weapons against Israel or against the United States. I think Israel will not allow the Taliban reduce Israel to ashes so we have a strong possibility of an escalation of war. This would cause an emergency situation where Israel will make strike first before the Taliban could destroy Israel. President Obama would have trouble preventing Israel from striking in their best interest.

My fear is that Obama ran and won on a domestic issues and he is a progressive socialist and fascist in thinking. One major misunderstanding is that Fascism is right wing. Lenin named Fascism right wing, which make sense as everything is right wing to communism. All socialist believe that a large government is necessary to take care of the people.

I feel that the issues in the Middle east is so critical that we need to make sure that the Taliban do not take Pakistan. Obama needs to pay attention to the situation and make sure we show power. The Taliban will never negotiate or listen to anyone in a weak position. Obama has put the United Stated in a weak position.

I haven't posted for a while. I have been watching the direction of this new administration to discover if Obama is really a progressive liberal or more center as originally thought. After just a few weeks it is apparent that Obama is trying to get his entire agenda as soon as possible. At least as long he has a super majority or close to a super majority.
1: Domestic Policy reminds one of progressive liberalism or Fascism as was known in the 1920's. Ultimately the whole argument boils down to control. Conservative thought is that the control by the federal government should be kept at the minimum. Commerce between the states, and protection from foreign threats are the job of federal government according to the constitution. Liberal thought is that the government should take care of the people and protect them from themselves. This means the government will need to be larger to fulfill this need.

I believe that from the beginning the government's job was to stay out of the way of the individual. this means that the control belongs in the individual not government. I have the right to do what I want, where I want, and with whom I want. Liberals view the role of the government is to "take care of the people" leaving the individual out of the picture. As individuals we loose our rights and freedoms.

2: Foreign Policy is where the liberals show extreme weakness. Carter destroyed our military, Clinton destroyed our military, and now Obama is in process of destroying our military. In an ever increasing dangerous world, reducing our military standing is a dangerous

I believe that we need to make sure our military is stronger than anyone else so as to allow us to negotiate with strength.
