Rep. Jim Clyburn out of touch with America

Rep. Jim Clyburn told Politico the following,

"I trust Obama to make the right investments in education, access to health care, energy independence and American ingenuity to lead the country on the path toward recovery. But I believe that lawmakers who were elected by the people they live among, and who see firsthand the day-to-day challenges their neighbors face, should play a role in directing some of those federal investments.

In the past decade, earmarks quadrupled and the word “earmark” became a bad word because of a few bad actors. But we have dramatically reformed the process, reducing earmarks to less than 1 percent of discretionary spending and instituting openness, transparency and accountability so we can discourage, expose and properly punish the bad guys. Those with a political agenda will demonize congressionally directed spending, but to me, it’s an appropriate answer to Ty’Sheoma’s letter and a proper response to schools such as J.V. Martin and communities along the corridor of shame."

Now this is a guy who is truly out of touch with America and the Constitution. First it is not your job as an elected official to just trust the President to spend money(and wrongly like the current President's plan). The only people with the power to Appropriate money is the Congress. If you spend your time doing your real job of being stewards of the peoples money you would not feel the need to actually "do something" like you say and insert earmarks. No one is demonizing good Congressional spending what has been done is the calling out of specific projects that should not be just inserted in the budget. There is also two levels of government below you to spend money at a local level Representative or maybe you have not heard of local or state government and their role. If you actually understood the role of the Federal Government maybe there would be some money left to fix some of those local issues.

The Great Obama Lie

President Obama promised that 95% of workers would not see their taxes raised by one single dime. Well, he really didnt mean that. The buget Obama released includes a cap and trade policy. Dont let the administration lie to you this is a tax that you will see. It will be a tax that affects every single taxpayer (well as long as you have electricity) through their power bills. Those households already struggling to hang out during the recession will be faced with a new tax that comes every month. Not exactly what the President would have you believe.

To make matters even worse, in the middle of the recession President Obama is proposing a plan that will drive manufacturing jobs out of the United States. In Europe where they have already instiuted a similar policy steel workers have been protesting as they are losing jobs by the day and the manufacturing sector is shrinking at an alarming rate.

Obama would like everyone to believe that none of these policies will hurt them. But, the reality is far from what the administration would have us to believe. This is not the time for failed social movements like climate change fearmongering. But, a time where we should be helping buisness and households recover and prosper when the recession ends.

The Obama Plan: 1 Trillion in Taxes

President Barack Obama came to office promising Hope and Change. But, since taking office he has just offered us fear and misdirection. Now as the Presidents budget is presented we see exactly what he has planned for us all. He loves bigger government and more taxes. In a economic downturn it would seem crazy to offer higher taxes not for obama he plans for an additional 1 trillion of them. What will the money be used for? Well 600 Billion is going to be set aside for socialized medicine. We are also going to pay for alternative energy that will not work with out talking about Nuclear power plants. Oh, and from the guy who wanted no waste there are a mere 9,000 earmarks. And today he comes out against guns. I wonder why he would do that? Because he wants to make sure no one will have any when they decide to follow the Declarations of Independence and try to "alter or abolish" their government.

Robert Reich and Charles Rangel dont think White Workers deserve help

Robert Rangel and Robert Reich expose the truth behind the Obama's administration's real goals. They dont want to help ALL Americans, just the Americans they wish to help. It is class warfare and Social Engineering at its best. If the media was not bought and paid for by the far left maybe we could have a real discussion about their policies. What is equally scary is their total distrust in the Federal System. They have no time for State Legislatures because they might not rubber stamp their decisions. America deserves better than this.

In Defense of Democracy

Modern Day Publius is back, after some off and on again attempts to spend more time here now I am committed. I believe the blame Bush crowd became to much for us to handle. Not everything was or is President Bush's fault. And the ultimate insult itself occurred when President Bush was booed at the Inauguration. Now we have a new President Barack Hussein Obama, and if left to his own far left agenda and that of our Congress our nations very freedom is at stake. The answer to bad economic times is not the socialization of our Nation, but nevertheless it will be attempted to be used as such. So we are committed to defending The Freedom that our Founders envisoned for this nation and will maintain our presence here in the defense or Democracy and Freedom. We look forward to the dialogue.

Obama's Church at it again

A new video has surfaced from Barack Obama's Church and it is quiet scary. The pastor speaking is a regular guest at the Church and a friend of Barack Obama who was featured on his website until it was just removed because of the video. Now they have turned their hate and racism towards Hillary Clinton. It is time that we got real answers from Barack Obama about his feelings on race and his attitude towards the church that he was a member of for 20 years and his pastor and friends. We know very little about Sen. Obama and he should come out and be honest with us all.

Here is the video:
