AGK: America’s Gotta Know

America is back, baby!

January 19, 2010, in this man’s humble opinion, will go down in the annals of American history as a significant milestone for the republic and all for which it stands as established by our founding fathers and the U.S. Constitution. The beginning of the end of the progressive, socialist, big government movement being made by the Obama Administration and this Congress and the start of the resurgence of the real America, entrenched in the values of small government and personal responsibility bestowed upon us by our founders.

Last night, Massachusetts, a perennial hotbed of liberal ideals, voted against big government in favor of the conservative Republican. In the special election to fill recently deceased Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, Republican Scott Brown delivered a crushing defeat to Democrat Martha Coakley, 52% to 47%, equating to a margin of about 120,000 votes. This extremely unlikely result (Martha Coakley had an over 20% lead in the polls on December 19, at which time she decided it was OK for her to take a 2 week Christmas break from public appearances) should have any intelligent congressman reeling, particularly the Democrats who are masquerading as Obama-Pelosi-Reed lap dogs.

The ramifications and reasoning are astounding:

America has spoken loudly through Massachusetts. This is a microcosm of the Tea Party sentiment which has been being conveyed across this great land since the inception of the Obama Administration and its extreme left Democrat controlled Congress last January. If such an election result can occur in this predominantly liberal minded state (Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1 and Obama won by 27% in the 2008 Presidential election), what’s going to happen in all the critical Congressional elections which will occur later this year in November? Democrats who value their jobs will definitely be rethinking their votes.

The Democrats have now lost their filibuster proof majority of 60 in the Senate. If NOT ONE Republican votes for a bill, then it cannot pass. This, for all intensive purposes, should shutdown the healthcare bill anywhere close to its current socialist form, the cap & trade bill, and the future anticipated immigration amnesty bill. If passed, this trifecta of reforms would have senselessly crippled our economy for decades and would have passed on the check to our children and theirs.

In exit polls, the overwhelming majority of voters identified the reason for their vote was the current healthcare bill. The disapproval with this bill by the huge majority of Americans is monumental and the disregard of this opinion by Congressional Democrats is staggering to say the least and unethical & even criminal to say the most. Nearly 75% of undecided party voters cast their ballot in favor of the Republican, whose simple conservative platform was small government, personal responsibility and strong defense.

Embedded in this remarkable story line are incredible ironies surrounding Ted Kennedy. Ted, the man who waited his life for a single payer government controlled healthcare system to be passed, stood on the precipice of seeing it to fruition at the time of his death in August 2009. Now, as a result of his death, this special election was held to fill the seat that he held for 47 years and that seat is taken by a conservative Republican who vows to vote against the very healthcare bill that Ted Kennedy endorsed. That’s not it, though. The true irony is the fact that Ted Kennedy’s sincere desire to provide at a cost palatable to the average American, the same outstanding healthcare that enabled him to overcome for so long the cancer to which he eventually succombed, has a much better chance of coming to fruition with the defeat of this travesty of a healthcare bill which, in reality, has nothing to do with healthcare and everything to do with government control. It’s unfortunate that he didn’t recognize that when he had the opportunity to influence it.

Heresay has it that the Democrat machine is working on a plan to procedurally delay the approval of Scott Brown into the Senate. This is an absolute no win for them. If they proceed with such a tactic, they will be villified by mainstream America in a way which will dwarf what they’ve seen so far. If they don’t do this, however, they will in all probability lose their precious healthcare bill, an effort that has already been openly acknowledged by the majority leadership will sacrifice the Democrat majority in both houses come November. Hey, you Democrat in Congress: it sure sucks to be you!

This is a great day to be an American! However, after the smoke clears on this monumental victory, the hard work to reverse the current progressive, socialist direction and stabilize the republic, truly begins. Do NOT get complacent!

Tax Day Tea Parties including Harrisburg’s
Tax Day April 15th is fast approaching and the fiscally responsible Americans among us are preparing for a peaceful, yet forceful, demonstration of their dissatisfaction with Congress’ partisan and socialist private sector bailout (and socialist takeover), economic stimulus (entitlement spending the likes the U.S. has never seen) and budget legislation (which, in even the most conservative estimates, triples the national debt that existed during the Bush Administration) already passed or currently being proposed, which is encouraged and endorsed by the Obama Administration. The liberally biased mainstream media, who is invested too heavily in the Obama Administration’s success, predominantly refuses to report this rapidly growing capitalist revolution, dismissing its proponents as the lunatic fringe of the conservative movement, despite the significant numbers of concerned Americans that have been flooding the streets for capitalist tea party rallies in a growing number of American cities. President Obama, although he won’t acknowledge it publicly, realizes the challenge to his socialist agenda that this peaceful revolution represents because the premise for it is data-based and grounded in history, in fact, he has gone viral. He has perpetrated an aggressive email video campaign to his “followers” professing the benefits of his endorsed excessive spending and is asking these individuals to knock on doors and influence their neighbors to give his plan a chance.

Despite the mainstream media’s failure to do their job, please see for yourself how pervasive this movement truly is. Here is a link to a site which is keeping track of all the Tax Day Tea Party rallies scheduled to be held across the U.S. on April 15th…

Calling for an American Capitalist March on Washington
These demonstrations are just encouragement and a spring board, however, for the vigilance that each of us who are concerned about our country’s future must maintain on a daily basis including factually influencing our friends, family, neighbors and congressional leaders to the danger this administration’s fiscal policies pose to the American way of life. The same life that responsible, hard-working, productive Americans have contributed toward and benefitted from for over 230 years. Ours and our children’s livelihood, that for which extremely brave Americans have valiantly fought and many have distinguishably died, is under assault. We cannot permit it to be vanquished by politically-oriented, career-motivated, power-mongering politicians who are sequestered secretly in some smoke-filled room making decisions over a cup of coffee that will impact you, me and ours forever.  

Take charge of a like-minded initiative in your community. My aspiration is that, within the next 60 days, this conservative activism metamorphosizes into an American Capitalist March on Washington, a peaceful, yet persuasive, demonstration large enough to dwarf Obama’s recent 1.5 million person inauguration turnout, such as to bring so much nationwide and worldwide attention that it cannot be ignored or dismissed by anyone. This is the only way to redirect the partisanly liberal Congress’ rubber stamping of every Obama Administration fiscal initiative.

Please join me in this patently American fight worth fighting.

Were you impressed by Rick Santelli’s rant last week at CME Group in Chicago. Well, he’s stirred some things up with his mention of coordinating a Chicago Tea Party in July. This has generated similar enthusiam in many cities across the country, including Harrisburg.

1.  
   1. Are You troubled with the recent actions of our elected officials? 
      1. Are you frustrated by austentatious & gratuitous government pork barrel and socialistic spending masquerading as economic stimulus and jobs legislation?
      2. Are you tired of the never ending litany of government bailouts of private companies who have placed themselves in position of imminent failure due to poor business practices (ie. wasting your hard earned tax dollars on companies who are destined to fail anyway)?
      3. Are you sick of your tax money being controlled and used at discretion by the very same political characters whose complicit behavior, poor decision making ability and/or lack of action led to the failure of the mortgage market which led to the ultimate collapse of the entire real estate structure and all lending markets?
      4. Do you think it is ridiculous that illegal immigrants are being granted opportunities, rights and government funding that is out of reach for U.S. citizens?
      5. Do you believe it is ludicrous that President Obama believes he can convince the job creators in this country to hire us out of the recession then come back in two years and increase their taxes to the 60%+ range including eliminating the interest reduction on their mortgage and increasing capital gains taxes to around 40%?
      6. Is your intelligence offended by the Obama Administration and liberal members of Congress looking down upon you saying that they know what you need better than you know what you need and that we’ll be able to spend our way out of a poor economy despite the fact that it’s never successfully been accomplished before in the history of the world?
      7. Are you exasperated when hearing Obama Administration officials saying that America voted for change therefore they have a mandate to do so in whatever manner they see fit, despite the pesky fact that the popular vote was extremely close at 54% to 46%, far from a referendum?

Then do something about it and here’s a place to start
Be at Harrisburg at noon on Saturday to find out how you can join the grass roots conservative and capitalist revolution to take our country back. Make the statement that you will not permit our great nation to be destroyed by socialist economic policies that have recently left many European countries in shambles, who are now grasping for capitalism to save themselves. OK, here’s the scoop…
