January 20, 2013 – ‘Go for It’

Robert Alonso — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 13:05:01 +0000

President Obama is clearly the most arrogant president that we have had in recent memory. He jams the health care bill through congress by promising anything to get the Democrats to vote his way, and he thinks he has accomplished something akin to the New Deal. Now he is egging on the Republicans to run against the bill. Look at the video:

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?

Viagra for Sex Offenders

Yesterday, Senate Republicans offered 29 amendments to the health care bill that was passed by the House of Representatives. Many of these were designed to slow down the law or prevent it from being passed on a second vote in the House. At least one of these is just common sense. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) offered an amendment that would bar federal purchases of Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs for sex offenders. The senator claims that it is not only the right thing to do, but that it could also save millions of dollars.

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.

Obamacare Kills Freedom

Robert Alonso — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 00:20:18 +0000

There are many articles appearing across the Internet and in print that have summaries of things found in the bill that the President signed. Isn’t it outrageous that these details were not available to the public until the bill became law. How is that for open and transparent government?

Investors.com has an excellent article on how different sections of the bill will affect you, your business, your doctor, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. The article is called, “20 Ways ObamaCare Will Take Away Our Freedoms.” Please read it because it is incredibly important that we know the facts and are not led blindly in any direction.

Once you read it, you will know what a disaster Obamacare really is. I don’t know about you, but I know how that “hope and change” is working—it’s not.

Democrats SUCK – Search Keywords

Robert Alonso — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 19:43:28 +0000

If this humble site is any indication of the disdain that the American people have for the Democrats, President Obama and the new health care colossus, the electorate is angry indeed. On Saturday, my site received 50% more visitors than normal. This was indicative of the anger leading up to the storm.

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.

Socialism Prevails – Smellosi Wins

Robert Alonso — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:21:50 +0000

Several times throughout the past year I have thought that the proposed health care bill would not pass or would be dropped because of opposition from constituents. I was wrong. The Democrats have been surprisingly stubborn and arrogant. Last night, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) twisted arms, negotiated, and threatened other Democratic representatives into voting for the Senate bill. It will now be sent to the President for signature. Once it is signed, the Senate must debate the reconciliation for at least 20 hours. It is during this period of debate, that the Republicans in the Senate can add amendments that might affect the outcome. However, I am not hopeful at this point. I think that this insane legislation will be the law of the land until it gets overturned on constitutional grounds.

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!

Problems in Greece Sound Familiar

Robert Alonso — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:56:23 +0000

I sent an e-mail to a friend in Greece asking him for clarification on what is happening there. I wanted a first hand perspective since we do not get much detail in the news media here. We are so saturated with news about House Speaker Pelosi’s (D-CA) health care machinations that we know nothing about the rest of the world. The following is what he had to say about the problems there:

Yes, it is true that in Greece we have a serious financial problem. You see the last few decades (starting from Andreas Papadreou in 1980’s) , Greek governments started getting loans, they hired lots of people on the public sector, although there was no need for so many people and they did not make the changes required to make the Greek economy more competitive. As a result, after about 30 years, we have a huge debt, we have lots of employees in the public sector and we have huge loans to pay back. In a sense the country has already bankrupted. On the contrary, in the private sector things are different, but the whole bad situation affects the private sector. In the private sector, salaries are not high (in several cases, the salaries are lower that the corresponding salaries of the public sector), people work lots of hours (in the public sector, people work less hours and are by far less productive), there is no job safety (in the public sector, there is a law that public employees can not be fired no matter what!) and there are lots of cuts on the benefits. As a result, the situation is not that good. There is lots of unemployment and things seems that will get worst. But we hope for the best. I hope and I believe that eventually we will recover and we will make it. But it won’t be easy and the current government has already started making changes, putting new taxes, but also cutting money from the lazy bastards of the public sector…it was about time! Nevertheless, all these changes and taxes have triggered "angry protests", as you said.

Does this sound eerily similar to the situation in the United States right now? It does and that is what makes it so scary. We need to change course, spend less and the people in power (Democrats) need to realize that living within our means will ensure a future for the country. Spending frivolously and passing expensive legislation that the people do not want or need is a path to bankruptcy. Vote the spenders out.

Health Care Reform Summit Arrogance

Robert Alonso — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 17:51:34 +0000

Here we are a year and a month into President Obama’s presidency and he has accomplished nothing and is still clinging to health care reform as if everyone wants it. The so called, “Health Care Summit” that took place a few days ago was bad political theater. The president either came prepared with Machiavellian lines to throw at the Republicans or improvised arrogantly. Which is worse is up to you to decide. Here is an exchange between a respectful Senator McCain (R-AZ) and a very disrespectful President Obama:

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?

Obama Panders to Women

Robert Alonso — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 03:06:46 +0000

President Obama is considering submitting a $3.8 trillion budget on February 1st that exempts programs for women and girls from the spending freeze he proposed a few days ago. This is payback to women for voting for him and, more importantly, is also a way to appease women’s groups. Many of these groups are upset with Democrats because of the proposed restrictions on government paid abortion coverage in the health care bills.

This shows once again how little conviction the President has. Days after announcing a spending freeze to help with the budget deficit, he makes exceptions for his favorite voting block. It also proves that the little he tries to do always has a political calculus. He has had a completely unsuccessful first year and is well on his way to another one.

Republicans are exited about their prospects for 2010. However, I’m praying for 2012 to get here faster before President Obama completely destroys the country.

What a Difference a Day Makes…

Robert Alonso — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:23:00 +0000

President Obama said today, “The Senate certainly shouldn’t try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated. People in Massachusetts spoke. He’s got to be part of the process.” I cannot imagine him saying that yesterday when he was still working on secret deals and arm twisting to jam through the health care reform. It seems that the significance of Senator Brown’s victory has finally sunk in—even at the highest level.

Obama also suggested that the reason Brown won was that people are angry and that it was the same sentiment that got him elected to the Presidency. He believes that the anger and frustration is “not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.” This is classic Obama still blaming George W. Bush. His statement forces me to quote Reagan one more time today, “There he goes again.”

The Tidal Wave of “Change” Has Started

Robert Alonso — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 03:39:29 +0000

Obama ran on the premise of “change.” Unfortunately, his change is one that the electorate of this country is soundly rejecting. The real change has started with the three Democratic losses in Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts—the bluest of states. It is so blue, that Obama carried Massachusetts by 26 percentage points and Kennedy held the Senate seat for 47 years.

The Democrats in the House of Representative and Senate must now realize that “we the people” will not accept rushed Christmas Eve votes, special deals for Louisiana and Nebraska, special deals for the union health plans, record deficits and secret negotiations to jam the health care bill through Congress. “We the people” will remove all incumbents and put fresh faces with new ideas into office.

The arrogance of the Democrats has caused this defeat and will cause many more electoral defeats if they do not change immediately. The health care bill should be abandoned immediately. President Obama should concentrate on building the economy, creating jobs and keeping this country safe. Instead of forcing people to spend on programs that they do not want, the government should create tax incentives for new and existing small businesses to expand and hire people. Are you listening Democrats? Are you listening President Obama? (Or will your continued arrogance lead you to complete political annihilation at the voting booths across America?)

It is a great day for America! Congratulations on your victory Senator Scott Brown (R-MA). Thank you God for this victory.
