What's Next on the List? Can you say "Windmills"?

Here is a lesson in Government intervention in the energy marketplace. Nukes and drilling for more oil. That's the true path to energy independence.

"Share the Meat!"

We all know that the current administration is harking back to the FDR's New Deal to justify its Keynesian intrusion into our economy. We are also aware that when it is pointed out that the New Deal was an abject failure to restart the American economy and that is was only with the advent of WWII that full employment was achieved, Obama supporters will often shoot back that the initial monies devoted to the New Deal was not enough and that is was the truly MASSIVE war spending the restored America to its financial supremacy. Thus the justification for enormous stimulus bill and the passing of the current budget and talk of more stimulus. I will agree with the Democrats judgment with only a few minor caveats:

1) We beef up our Armed Forces to the same relative levels they were in WWII. Out of a population of 140 Million, that was approximately 16 million men and women, or 11.5 % of the population. With current population of the US over 300 million, that means an armed forces of around 34.5 million. Talk about reducing the unemployment rate!

2) For the next 4 to 5 years or so we go about making sure every major industrial power in the world is turned into so-much burnt out debris so that for the next 25-30 years we have little or no economic competition (hey, we got to give our guys and gals in uniform something to do). I know, I know, people will die, but look on the bright side; All the dust and pollution in the air will reflect back those awful sunrays and cool down the Earth, right?

3) To support above said effort, we devote almost all of our industrial capacity towards making sure that our 34.5 million man Armed Forces are the best equipped military in the world. That also means major R&D into exotic technologies like nuclear fusion, anti-gravity, space based weapons, Anti-Obesity Drugs, etc. (Can you say "Manhattan Project"?) Solar and wind power will just have to wait.

4) During this 4-5 year period (aka "War"), we allow the government to set prices, wages, dictate profit margins, raise taxes on a progressive scale up to 90% on some people and tell practically everyone where they can or cannot work. But, best of all, the government gets to implement that great equalizer, RATIONING!! Yes sir! Nothing like total economic rationing to force people to save their money they earn from full employment and since they will have nothing to spend it on, we can get them to invest in OBAMA BONDS (aka "War Bonds"). I can see it now, all our Hollywood stars hawking them across the fruited plain. (My money is on Sean Penn to be our equivalent of Abbot and Costello and sell the most). Just to give you a taste of what rationing will sound like, give this a listen!

5) After the 4-5 period (aka "War"), the government gets to keep it's progressive tax rate up to the 90 percentiles, cause it won't really affect our working people until the world rebuilds again.

6) The only downside to this is that after our 30 year window of economic prosperity, Disco would make a comeback....

Of course, we could do just what Reagan did and reduce taxes on individuals and business and get the same result.

This report from POWERLINE scares the hell out of me.... and It should scare the hell out of you too.

Let's Support GM and Chrysler By Boycotting Them!

I urge the American Public to help save GM (and maybe Chrysler.. If we are lucky) by boycotting them. Let's start a movement that we will not buy any GM/Chrysler products until the following actions are taken:

1) Both Companies file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization
2) The head of the UAW, Ron Gettelfinger , resigns, just like the GM's Rick Wagoner.
3) No one associated with the Government is appointed to the board of Directors and all government oversight is suspended.
4) No more tax payer funds are given to the either company.
5) Congress and the president cease and desist from passing anymore laws that try to force the automobile manufacturers to build "politically correct" cars that NOBODY REALLY WANTS.

The five above actions will force GM (and maybe Chrysler) to become productive, viable businesses . If they don't, then they go the way of the buggy whip. Don't worry, we will still build cars in America, but they will be built by companies that make a profit and don't rely on taxpayer largesse. Like the rising of the Tea Parties across America, it is the grass roots that are going to have to stand up to the really bad decisions being made in DC. If enough people take the pledge, the quicker the much needed overhaul of the Detroit automobile business will occur. Pass the word. My next car will be either a Ford or an American built transplant until unless the above 5 actions are taken. Let your Senator and Congressman know how you feel.

Don't take this stuff lying down!

This little letter to the NW Florida Daily News is what the Republicans of NW Florida are going to have to deal with in 2010. The Dems think that Charlie Morris and his corrupt cronies are going to usher in a new era of Democratic rule into Okaloosa County...WRONG! Tip O'Neill once said "all politics are local". Not anymore. How do we, the NEW Republicans of NW Florida respond?

1) We tell our citizens "We send our bad apples to jail or off packing" (Charlie Morris, Rep. Bob Livingston, Sen. Ted Stevens)

2) We tell our citizens "The Democrats promote their bad apples to powerful Committee Heads" (Rep. Charlie Rangel, Rep. Barney Frank, Sen. Chris Todd and yes, Ted Kennedy)

With the advent of the microchip, the Internet, talk radio and the 24 hour news cycle, politics is no longer "local"... it is NATIONAL. Because these Democrats (with the recent TRILLION dollar stimulus package and gargantuan budget of 2009) have bought the entire NATIONAL economy, lock, stock and barrel, from the Interstate to your local cul-de-sac. Whatever whining about deficit spending they did with Bush is rendered MOOT and all Democrats, from the President down to your lowly Clerk of the Court, are fair game on this issue. If you are a Democrat, then by choice you support Pelosi, Rangel, Frank and Obama and this horrible financial hole we have dug for our children and grandchildren. Why should we trust Democrats with our local tax dollars when they have so little regard for our federal tax dollars?

So, dear Republicans of Northwest Florida, I say this: Take The Offence. It's time to play hardball, starting right now.

Welcome!

Welcome to my initial foray into the political sphere. I hope this will become a site that the NEW Republican party of Florida can rally around and make a difference with regards to the direction our country is heading. I hope to provide links and comments to current events, both locally and nationally.
