Not So Small Government

Greetings blogspotters...okay, bad name. Anyway, you always hear about Conservatives always claiming to be Small Government.

No you're not! Sorry, you’re not for small government.

You ask them, do you want a bigger Military?

Most likely they will answer yes.

Do you want more police? Most likely they will answer...yes.

How they claim to be for small government when they support these two things being bigger is beyond me. If that doesn't tell you they aren't for small government look at some of their plans coming soon.

Investigation of miscarriages to make sure there’s no "foul play". What's a bigger invasion by the Government than having your own pregnancy investigated?

Other ideas include tracking illegal aliens having children and pretty much deporting them after the pregnancy. While I'm discussing illegal aliens, does anyone find it ironic how some of these pro-lifer candidates want to track illegal aliens having children in hospitals? Doesn't that just discourage immigrants from going to hospitals to get their child delivered? I thought they cared about the wellbeing of children in ALL circumstances and yet they are aiming to prevent these children from getting a proper delivery.

(Still completely off topic) I had a revelation. I may stop the ownage of the tea baggers. I point out the inconsistencies often, but when you’re as crazy as some of these candidates does it really matter if you're inconsistent?

Back on the topic at hand, let's not forget wire tapping. Nothing says “Small Government” like having your phone tapped. (I caught them once listening in on me, heard Cheney breathing on the third line myself.)

Let's also link another value of conservative land…Fiscal Responsibility? All the terrorist programs you want to fund? You have agencies to try and protect us from all types of terrorist attacks. But, no complaints there, just hand over the tax money for that and not for any kind of Social Security, Healthcare, unemployment or anything like that right?

So to wrap things up. Conservatives, you’re not some far off entity that can’t even compare to a liberal. You’re closer than you think except on Social Issues

The only noticeable difference I see other than Social Issues is you want to cut programs from our taxes that actually DO benefit us.

You both fund dumb programs that almost none of us benefit from.

Can’t cut some of those unnecessary high cost, no result programs, cut social security, and while you’re at it still complain about Obama.

Complain hard even when/if you win house and senate.

Complain and when you do make the changes intelligent people are actually foreseeing.

The morons who bought your crap will jump back to the Democratic side by 2012.

When you're behind that Damn Palin and lose.

Then you will complain EVEN MORE.

I'm back...and the world is still messed up.

Hello Blog, nearly a billion blogging years ago, I left to get my internet provider changed and in that time (a week) we had the usual hilarious campaign ads.

The downright crazy Sharon Angle “Look, it's a Mexican” ad.

And this gem from a California (or Carlyfiorina if you’re crazy) candidate.



While they all will be lined up sometime later this week for me to dig into, I want to talk about something I saw earlier.

I was with the family at Dillions. (A Kansas market trying to take down the Evil Wal-mart) Anyway, we went to checkout and I noticed before I walked out an older man who was sacking the items we purchased. He looked over sixty to me. I glanced at his name tag, his name was Lou, and he has worked at this store since 1997.

I started thinking about how potentially; if the Republicans get the house, want to scratch Social Security. (Oh wait, maybe now they don’t since they won the Republican ticket for their respective states.)

I know people, notably Republicans, hate paying taxes and they should. I'm sure I'll hate paying taxes when I reach that point in my life. Why I'd hate taxes is because what I'm paying into never really benefits me or anyone around me. But one of the few things -- like Social Security -- that people DO benefit from, they want to scratch.

Now the big thing Republicans always talk about on Social Security is how it's going to drive us bankrupt or destroy us. Yet, on a recent poll, a majority realizes this but at the same time didn't want to pay taxes. However, there’s also over 30% who don’t want to pay taxes BUT WANT Social Security to stay.

Yeah, I'm going to complain and see how high the debt in this country goes, but at the same time I don’t want to pay taxes for it. You see, it's this kind of stupidity and not contributing to my own society to complain about the deficit, but not wanting to make the sacrifices to get us out of it that will one day...make us all Lou's.  Working when we are so old that our arthritic hands can barely keep up.

And republicans want to raise retirement age to 70?!

It seems to me we'll be working until we croak. Throwing away something like Social Security for a guy who's probably been doing labor jobs for 3/4th's of his life, you tell me how that’s right.

Really bad ideas.

I've got some "good" ideas

Hello blog, Sunday on Meet the Press house minority leader Mitch McConnell, or a more scientific term for him – Turtle man – dodged REALLY BADLY the question about Bush's tax cuts. If you don’t, know the Republicans want to once again keep the tax cuts that Bush set after the Ten years have been up in which we would have to pay for them. The price? 3.1 TRILLION dollars to the deficit.



The LEADER of the party, that is attacking democrats over the deficit and spending, is trying to pander to the 2% and lie to the rest of us. Now here is where it gets interesting, he thinks we can get the tax cuts without paying for them?! Although in the LAW it says after ten years of the Bush Tax cuts (if extended into 2011 and beyond) we would have to pay and pay big time, 3.1 TRILLION. So you think, “Hmm, what will they take away to make up that 3.1 Trillion dollars?” YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY!


Yes, your social security, the thing that Republicans have tried to get rid for so long with fear tactics. It's just classic Republican tactics. Pander to the 2% tax bracket and cripple the remaining 98%.

This also shows they’re lying about their love for small business. Making us pay for their Tax Cuts would hurt small business and prevent people from hiring. And prevent businesses from giving these people jobs. As Mr. Beck would say about the 99'ers, "Get a job" is increasingly harder to do when the government does things like this by only helping 2% of the population.

Today, we have a few primaries and if you live in those states let them know how you feel at the voter’s box. This so called "plan" to help the recession is far from helping. Experts have warned that keeping these cuts would bring DARKER times to our economy.

I also noticed something in that “Meet the Press” interview that NO ONE else seems to be talking about. I noticed Mitch says that “This administration, for the last THREE YEARS…” Just a reminder, Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009.

Mitch, my man, you are telling me you and your party have an idea to "fix" this economy, but you can't even count?

We all know, though, that this wasn't some unintentional mistake. Look at it this way, the recession hit early on in 2008. Conveniently that's almost three years ago. This turtle of a man is trying to tell you, the people, that as soon as Obama stepped into office this recession magically hit. Maybe I'm wrong on that assumption, but then again I doubt it considering the same guy is also planting skepticism about Obama being a Muslim and contributing to the 34% of the Republicans in this country that do believe Obama is Muslim.

Can't tell 'um apart, can ya?

That's all I got to say about Turtle man and his "plan".

I leave you today with some more refreshing hypocrisy. Take this video of Glenn Beck, a few years ago (2006),  talking to Imma Rauf about Moderate Islam’s. Beck says he is the epitome of moderate Islam’s and that the country needs to see that we should fight the radicals NOT all Muslims.

"I didn't mean it? I miss-spoke?"

In 2010 times have sure changed, huh, Beck boy?
