Maybe He is Starting to Get It

So here we are...election is over. People are still going NUTS over this guy.

Obama 'Reaching Across the Aisle'

Well, we lost the election. There was, however, some good news. Barack Hussein Obama informed me in his victory speech that he was going to reach across the aisle. Maintain a cabinet of bipartisan officials to run the country and help him "earn" the support of those who didn't vote for him.

How does he do this? Well, first he chose Rahm Emanuel for his Chief of Staff. Bipartisan? Oh sure. He's head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Oh, by the way...I should mention that one of this fellow democrats moved to the Right side of the aisle. What did he do? Oh nothing...well, if you consider mailing a rotting fish to someone who disagreed with you 'nothing.'

Ok, what about his Secretary of State? Surely given the delicate views from the public on foreign policy he would chose someone who would be embraced by both sides of the aisle. So who does he appear to have picked? Sources say that the lucky lady is none other than the Jr. Senator from New York- Madame Hillary Clinton. She has gone on and on about her extensive experience in foreign policy.

Okay......let's play ball. What successful foreign policy accomplishments does Madame Hillary claim to have been instrumental in? Macedonia, Bosnia/Kosovo, and Northern Ireland. She claims to have been a key player in putting a stop to the conflicts which plagued these 3 nations during Billy's administration. Time for a little fact check:

• Macedonia- Hillary claims to have "negotiated open borders" in the country in an effort to provide an escape for fleeing Kosovo refugees. What actually happened? The border opened up before she even arrived.
• Northern Ireland- Queen Pant-Suit claims to have "helped bring peace to Northern Ireland." However, you ask Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey (the First Minister of Northern Ireland and a Nobel Peace Prize winner) how she contributed to "bring peace" and he laughs. "I don't know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill going around" he said. The Lord went on to say "I don't want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principle player."
• Kosovo-Hillary also claims to have been instrumental in ending the conflict in Kosovo. Really? I mean..really? Sure, if you consider touring the country with the prince of peace Sinbad, the Tennessee diplomat/country singer Sheryl Crow, and her gorgeous daughter Chelsea a diplomatic 'negotiation.' Folks, that's all she did in Kosovo- toured refugee camps with a guy who plays a 8ft tall genie, a mediocre country singer, and a daughter who is ugly as sin.

So when it comes to her ability to direct our nation's foreign policy operations I am supremely concerned. Not to mention that she is one of the most partisan politicians in the Senate. But some of you say "ohhhh, but her husband had such good diplomatic relations with foreign leaders." FINE. Put him in the cabinet. Not his wife.

About Libertarianism

In the wake of the Nov 4, 2008 tragedy (the election of Barack Hussein Obama) it seems necessary that those interested in the strength of this nation take a look back and review the principles of the Constitution of the United States. It has become apparent that the majority of our nation no longer votes to elect officials who uphold the Constitution. Both parties have completely gone down the crap shoot.

The Republican party has gone fiscally insane when it comes to spending. They voted for No Child Left Behind and for the 700 billion dollar bailout. This goes completely against their supposed philosophy of CONSERVatism.

And the Democrats? Where do I begin? At least they don't claim to be fiscally conservative. Almost every vote cast by a democrat involves an increase in spending. Democrats and liberals feel that the government should be America's nanny. However, this nanny doesn't punish you when you behave badly. She simply prevents you from feeling the consequences of your actions. When a child goes unpunished he or she usually turns out to be a completely dependent and worthless brat. America's brats are the beneficiaries of government programs (welfare, social security, etc). America's nanny? The Democratic Congress and as of January 4, 2009- President Obama. Democrats punish success and reward ignorance.

So what about the libertarians? Although most Americans harbor strong libertarian beliefs the libertarian policy has never cut the mustard when it comes to electability. We are socially liberal so the republicans (not to be confused with conservatives) disapprove of us and we are fiscally conservative so the democrats can't stand us. Here are some of the things the party stands for (later I will list my personal stance on a variety of issues):

• Laissez-faire principles which limit the state's role in the economy. By this principle, libertarians advocate the elimination and/or privatization of Social Security and Welfare, limited regulation of business, limited regulation of trade, and fewer labor laws.
  
• Protection of Property rights!!!!!
  
• The government's only responsibility is to protect our individual rights from the 'initiation of force or fraud.'
  
• Opposes civil rights laws (ex: affirmative-action and non-discrimination)
  
• Unrestricted rights to the means of self-defense (guns, mace, etc.)
  
• Abolition of victimless laws (ex. seat-belts, prostitution, censorship, use of controlled substances, fraternization).
  
• Free trade
  
• Hard currency
  
• ABOLITION OF ALL FORMS OF TAXPAYER-FUNDED ASSISTANCE: (Welfare, food stamps, public housing, health care).
  

So those are pretty much the basics. Basically our entire view can be summed up in one word: freedom. We believe that you can do whatever you want, whenever you want as long as it doesn't interfere with another citizen's rights. What people do to or with themselves is no business of mine, yours, and the government's. That includes screwing up your life or becoming a success.

My Views on the Issues- Have Your Insults Ready

Since I don't agree with all libertarian issues I decided to take a moment to lend my opinion on the following issues:

• Abortion- totally against it. In all other matters I am pro-choice. However, injecting poisonous saline solution into the brain of an infant (aka murder) should NOT be a choice unless the birth will cause death to the mother.

• Affirmative Action- Deplorable. Advocates of this monstrosity say it promotes equality. Idiots. Do you really think having to check a box identifying the color of your skin on job/college apps promotes EQUALITY!? For true equality, race/gender shouldn't even be an option on applications.

• Capital Punishment- Absolutely for it. However, I feel that these people sit too long in our prison systems while we pay for their daily/revolting existence. It is because of this I feel that they should be granted priority appeals should they choose to do so. This would be completed in a matter of 12 days. If they do not get the appeal they are to be executed within the following 6 days. No more of this 12 year crap while we foot the bill.

• Censorship- totally unconstitutional. This is YOUR job parents. NOT the government's.

• Current Congress- Horrible. Terms should be shortened to prevent abuse of power. That said, I feel that congress should be given greater jurisdiction to pass laws in their on states. No wonder people aren't showing up at the polls. They feel totally disconnected from government. I also feel that this localized congress should vote for president. I am sick of each election being this presidential beauty pageant.

• Education- Absolutely heinous. I think the Department of Education should be abolished and all parents should receive vouchers (privatization of education) to choose a school that they feel is best fit for their child. That way, schools will have to compete to get kids' butts in the desks. The effect? Bad schools will close and, through competition, schools will have to work harder to keep parents from sending students elsewhere. Results? Better schools. Brighter kids. Do you not find it odd that while our higher education system (majority privatized) is the best in the world, our K-12 public schools are a joke?!

• Energy- drill baby drill. I am absolutely for eliminating our dependence on foreign oil. To do this I think we need to do two things. First, we need to stick those wells in the ground and get that oil out of Alaska and the Dakota's. The Federal government (specifically, the democrats) has NO right to tell states what they can and can't do with THEIR land. Secondly, we need to work on clean technology whereby oil won't even be an issue.

• Flag Burning- I think its disgusting and I would severely hurt anyone I saw doing it. But unlawful? No. It is protected under free speech.

• Free trade- yes

• Gay Rights- What people do in their sex life doesn't effect individuals anyone else but those involved. It doesn't bother me and, more importantly, has nothing to do with the Constitution.

• Global Warming- It is happening but we don't know that it is because of human actions and not a natural cycle. Livestock emissions effect greenhouse gasses more than cars. This is a fact. In the 20s we had a global cooling scare. 10 years later- global warming scare. 15 years after that- global cooling scare. Today- global warming. Which is it?

• Globalization- USA is the world's police and all we get is griping for it. I think we should let the world have what it wants. Life without the United States. I think we should pull out of the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, etc. We should also kick the UN out of their east river diggs and let them go to a different country. See how the world bows down at our feet asking for us to come to the rescue. It is at this point i would simply tell them to go away.

• Gun Control- People have the right to bare arms. The democrats want to stop that. Why? Because that means bigger government. Do you really feel comfortable with the government being the only ones with guns?

• Healthcare- Socialized medicine is awful. Are you for it? Not sure? Well let me help you. Take all the emotions associated with going to the DMV, Social Security office, post office, and put those feelings in the waiting rooms of doctors' offices. THAT'S socialized medicine.

• Illegal Immigration- I feel that we should give CURRENT immigrants the right to EARN citizenship but we should shoot on site any individuals who try to enter the country illegally from this point forward.

• Marijuana Legalization- Our war on drugs is ridiculous. If somebody wants to mess up their life in the privacy of their own home, that is their affair. Fighting drugs makes drug lords richer because increased efforts to fight leads to increased prices associated with risk on behalf of the dealer. Instead of fighting drug users- we should be pushing for treatment. Not incarceration.

• Media Bias- Obviously it exists. New York Times is the most obvious. Economics is where the bias hurts us. Every day we are constantly told that the sky is falling financially and they are always proven wrong.

• Minimum Wage- If you are above the age of 25, not mentally/physically handicapped, have been in the work force for more than 6 months, live in this great country of ours, and STILL can't seem to make above minimum wage then you are a pathetic loser and don't deserve to be bailed out by the taxpayers. Only government could come up with a system where you reward bad behavior and punish good behavior.

• Outsourcing- This sucks and it is happening because of minimum wage laws. If you are for minimum wage requirements don't you complain to me about outsourcing. If you are a business and you are being asked by your country to pay an employee for more than they are worth, what do you do? Take your business elsewhere.

• Right to Die- Keeping Terry Schiavo was a horrible effort on behalf of the republicans. She was later found to be brain dead (85% of her brain had turned to liquid). Why in the WORLD would they not allow this woman to die. Not be killed, but ALLOWED TO DIE.

• School Prayer- In private schools I am all for it but it is unconstitutional for teachers (government employees) to lead prayer in public schools. Before you go off on me, notice my stance on education. I think public schools should be abolished.

• Separation of Church and State- absolutely necessary. God doesn't need a government permission slip to make his presence known.

• Social Security- See my comments on minimum wage. We are currently paying for current retirees and not one CENT is being set aside for our retirement. SOCIAL SECURITY WAS NOT CREATED FOR RETIREMENT

• Stem Cell Research- for it

• Taxes- The adoption of the Fair Tax. This means the elimination of the IRS and, in it's place, institute one national sales tax.

• Constitution- the most important government document ever written.

• Unions- Awful. If you need someone else to make sure you have a job you really suck and should probably not leave your house/kill yourself. Dems want to eliminate the secret ballot. The secret ballot is a system where you can sign a petition in public saying you want a vote to take place as to whether or not to unionize. The secret ballot, however, is private. Nobody knows how you voted. That means that unions are unable to bully people into voting for their formation.

• United Nations- Awful. If I were president I would issue a notice for the UN to vacate their East River diggs and move elsewhere. I would form a new organization where membership would require being a democracy and a level of human rights modeled after our own Bill of Rights.

• War in Iraq- Necessary to combat radical Islam. Many don't realize that the decision to invade Iraq was made during the Clinton administration. George Bush just followed through with it. This war is the only way to fight Iran without them nuking our allies. It's a proxy war and people don't get it.

• Welfare- If you are disabled, you deserve our support. If you are just down on your luck and can't seem to muster up a steady job then sorry- you don't.

• Wiretapping- illegal without probable cause. Democrats and a lot of libertarians want you to believe that because of the Patriot Act, the FBI is monitoring your phone calls to the grandparents. This is not true. They are monitoring phone calls made from US cell phones to positively identified Islamic terrorists abroad.
