If Obama’s first legislative priority had been immigration or financial reform or climate change, we would have seen the same trajectory. The conjunction of a black president and a female speaker of the House — topped off by a wise Latina on the Supreme Court and a powerful gay Congressional committee chairman — would sow fears of disenfranchisement among a dwindling and threatened minority in the country no matter what policies were in play.

I find it disturbing that every time someone disagrees with a liberal, then that person has to be a racist or stupid, and often both. Please note Rich’s wording, “a wise Latina on the Supreme Court.” I don’t think she is all that wise. I think she has manipulated the system to move ahead by virtue of her Hispanic heritage.

What I found most disturbing about the health care legislation was the lack of transparency in the entire process. To this day, most people do not know what is in the bill or how it is going to affect most Americans. If Obama wanted to be a “post-partisan” president, then it was incumbent on him to be inclusive and create a law that would be beneficial to all Americans and that included ideas from conservatives and liberals. If that had been the case, then there would be no opposition to the health care law. Obama’s skin color does not mean squat to me and I think that it does not to a majority of people. It is his arrogance that I find disturbing.

I hope to see a day when liberals do not fall back on the specious claim of racism whenever they are challenged. Maybe then we can have racial peace in this country.

Full disclosure: I am a naturalized immigrant who was born in Cuba. I, therefore, do not belong to any of the groups mentioned—even the wise Latina’s group since I do not consider myself wise or a Latina. Here is another disclosure: I consider myself an American first, as we all should if we are enjoying the bounty and rights of this country.

Be careful what you wish for Mr. President, you just may get it. What will you say when you lose majorities in both houses of Congress? What will you say on January 20, 2013 when you are heading back to community organizing in Chicago?

Writing or reading a blog like this is meaningless without action.  I have voted in every election since I was 18. I  believe that we have to vote all the rascals out and limit the amount of damage they can do.

I am a Republican because Republicans are closer to my views. However, Republicans are hardly perfect.

The name of this site should not disturb moderates, it would not get as much traffic if it was called, "democrats-arent-nice.com." Just for the record, I tried to purchase "republicanssuck.com" and the person who owned it would not sell it to me because he feared I would simply keep it under wraps. If I owned that domain name, I can assure you that there would be entries on that site too. I try to build related sites with related names to enhance the branding. For example,  I own yourviewssuck.com, but have not put any content there yet.

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that it is more moderate than the name might imply. I want responsible government that responds to the will of the people. What a concept! That is the concept that this country was founded on.

I am thrilled that so many people are becoming more active in determining the future course of the United States.

Guess what the Democrats did with this amendment? They defeated it in a 57-42 vote. That vote shows you how hell bent they are about not letting anything get in the way of their precious takeover of health care in this country. I think it is an embarrassment before the eyes of the world that this amendment was not passed. The lives of children and innocent women are at stake.

Sunday, the day of the health care vote in the House of Representatives, the site received 400% more visits than is normal. Most of these visits came during and after the vote. Here are the leading keywords that were used on Sunday (in order):

• democrats suck
• democrates suck 
• why democrats suck 
• obamacare sucks
• this sucks, health care passed
• rascism
• democrats suck ass
• democrtas suck
• demacrate suck 
• obama care sucks
• obama healthcare sucks
• george w bush democrat majority in the senate
• dems suck
• democracts suck
• demecrates suck 
• brian williams sucks

Besides the fact that even misspellings are bringing visitors to the site, it is important to note the underlying theme that Democrats and Obamacare suck. As a side note, I think that George W. Bush is getting some blame for the Democrat majority that passed this legislation. I thought it was also funny that NBC anchorman Brian Williams was also thrown into the mix.

Monday, this site had even more explosive growth. The number of visits grew by 600%. The keywords were similar. Here they are in order of use:

• democrats suck
• obamacare sucks
• democrates suck
• democratssuck.com
• speech on why democrats suck
• "cash for clunkers" healthcare
• democrat suck
• we-are-screwed.com
• obama suck
• house of representatives suck
• who thinks democrats suck
• democraats suck
• dems suck
• health care bill passed democrats suck
• white democrats suck
• why the democrats suck
• liberals suck quotes
• democrats suck go to hell!!
• rahm emanuel sucks

My favorite is “rahm emanuel sucks.” The “we-are-screwed.com” one is interesting in that it takes you to that domain which is redirected to democratssuck.com. I do not own or control that domain, so whoever is doing that, “Thanks!”

More importantly, the rise in visits and the keywords indicate the discontent that we feel. Obama and the Democrats can congratulate themselves until November. That is when we show them who is boss.

We need to vote in November and let the Democrats understand that power in this country comes from the people and it can be taken away by the people. The myopic vision of the Democrats is leading us and them to ruin.

For the first time in the history of the United States, the Federal government will mandate that we buy a service or be fined. Crazier than this mandate is the enforcement associated with it. If you or your employer do not comply, you will be fined. The government will also grant the IRS more powers. They will be the enforcement arm of this law. It is outrageous! We are taking the tax collectors and giving them police powers over the purchase of health insurance.

The immediate impact of this legislation is that taxes will go up. Employees will see less money in their paychecks for several years before seeing any return on their money. Employers will have to offer health insurance to employees including part timers. This will mean that it will not be cost effective to hire more employees and will lead to lower salaries for existing positions. The cost for this mandate has to be covered somehow and I guarantee it will be covered through higher prices to customers, less employment and/or lower salaries. It could also lead to more off-shoring of service jobs like telemarketing.

I know of one business that could be pushed into bankruptcy by this legislation because of the low margins associated with the business and the business’ need for dozens of part time employees to function. It sickens me to think that someone’s hard work at building a business and providing employment to many needy part time employees could all be wiped out by a Socialist and arrogant President and his zombies in Congress. 

I am hopeful that several Attorney Generals will file lawsuits on the lack of constitutional basis for this legislation. However, it will take years for the lawsuits to get through the courts and, by then, the damage will have been done to many small businesses. Shame on the Democrats! Most of the lawmakers who pushed this through have not started a business, hired employees or struggled to make a payroll. That is why this arrogant group of do-nothing shit heads have passed this health care bill. (Yes, I realize it is the first time that I have cursed on this blog, but I think the circumstances merit it.)

It is now our turn. During the next election let’s vote every Democrat that is in office out. We need to tell them who is boss and they need to pay a heavy price. Losing a few seats is not enough. Losing every seat is not enough. I hope Democrats lose power forever. They want to take this country in a liberal and socialist path. That path is not what we the American people want or what made this country powerful and great. Do not forget this injustice. Vote all the bastards out!

I think this speaks for itself. One of the supposed champions of political correctness struck down by his own inappropriate exchange. One down 253 more Democrats to go before the House of Representatives really represents the United States of America.

Another New York ethics scandal is being exposed today as well. Governor David A. Paterson (D-NY) is accused of interfering with a domestic  violence case filed against his aide, David Johnson. According to news reports, Paterson called the alleged victim on February 7th. The next day, the victim did not show up in court and a judge dismissed the case. The governor’s call came after State Troopers assigned to his security detail called the alleged victim several times in an effort to get her to drop the charges. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) is now investigating the case. I’m sure he would like to know what the governor said in that call.

The New York State Commission on Public Integrity also has charged Governor Paterson with violating ethic laws by obtaining free tickets to the opening game of the World Series from the New York Yankees. This is a violation of the state’s ban on gifts to public officials. So far, Governor Paterson is refusing to step down from his post.

Let’s give these two Democratic leaders a cheer—a Bronx cheer that is.

McCain: Remove all the special deals for the special interests and favored few and threat all Americans the same under provisions of the law so that they will know that geography does not dictate what kind of health care they would receive. I thank you Mr. President.

Obama: Let me just make this point, John, because we are not campaigning anymore, the election is over.

McCain: I’m reminded of that every day. (nervous laughter from McCain)

Obama: Well, yeah, uh. So, the uh. We can spend the remainder of the time with our respective talking points going back and forth. We were supposed to be talking about insurance.

Let me ask you, is this the “hope and change” and bipartisanship that Obama pledged?

The story reminds me of President Obama. He struts about as if he were the most awe inspiring president that the country has ever had. He declines to listen to the wishes of the people and does so with so much insolence that he has prompted movements like the “Tea Party.”

Like the emperor of the story, he has been taken by a pair of swindlers who have sold him a health care reform bill that is unconstitutional at best. The two swindlers are Speaker of the House Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Reid is on his way to defeat and political obscurity in 2010—much like Senate Majority leader Dashle (D-SD) in 2004. (What is it about these Democrat leaders that they cannot hold onto their seats? Could it be arrogance?) Pelosi is safe in her liberal district, but could lose her position if Republicans gain a majority or enough momentum in 2010 that remaining Democrats realize that they need new leadership. We’ll see.

Unfortunately, we are stuck with President Obama until 2012. I hope that someone feisty will come along and tell him, “The emperor has no clothes.” It would have to be someone close to him who he trusts. Reverend Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers can you help us out? We need Obama to realize his dissonance with the wishes of the American people.
