The Democrats have managed to push that obamanation of a health care bill through the house. Without a single Republican vote they will effectively be taking over one-sixth of the American economy. My representative, Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, did not vote for the economic death bill.
Out of the 219 Democraps who voted for this Marxist manifesto, I am going to find the one's that are in nearby districts, then do what I can to contribute to their un-election in the fall. I encourage everyone else to actively work against these 219 traitors to the Republic.
I, for one, am mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.
Remember in November.

Quote of the Day
"You win this round, broccoli."
Patrick Star
Makes more sense than anything that has come out of Obama's, Reid's, or Pelosi's mouth recently.

Census Form Arrived Today
The Census form arrived in the mail today. Every ten years the federal government is constitutionally mandated to count the number of people in this country. That's fine.
The Constitution does not require the government to collect my name, age, birthdate, race, and whether I own, rent, or squat in my residence on April 1, 2010.
The only question I am answering is the number of people at my address.
Interestingly enough, the letter accompanying the census form states that my answers cannot be used in court. I assume that applies to blank answers, too. For most of the census form, "blank" is my answer.

I'm on the Radar
Over the years I have defended a few people against state action, from minor criminal charges to the Division of Children and Family Services taking parents' children away from them. One phrase I have used with clients is, "You're on the radar. Be careful." I believe that someone who has been charged with an offense is less likely to be accorded the benefit of the doubt in future actions by police and prosecutors, even if the charge did not result in a conviction. Similarly, once DCFS has been involved with one's family, it is more likely that DCFS will apply additional scrutiny to that family in the future.
I have to wonder if I am "on the radar" now. Every once in a while I check to see who has been visiting this blog. I don't get a lot of visitors, and that's okay because I mainly write for myself. This morning I noticed that I had a visit from the United States Department of Justice. Interesting.
Well, I am still going to be the same politically incorrect troublemaker. Agitating for change isn't a crime. Yet.

Voting: Forestalling or Aiding & Abetting?
2010 will be the twenty-fourth year in which I have voted. I can't think of a lot of good that has come out of it.
I can count on one finger the number of Democrats I have voted for. Unless the Republican was an out-and-out crook and the Democrat had some redeeming qualities, I just cannot bring myself to pull the lever for the cesspool of big government, high tax, anti-small business, pro-union, environmental wacko, anti-gun, pro-gay rights, pro-minority rights, pro-illegal immigrant waste that the Democratic Party has been in my adult lifetime. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against anybody wanting to live his life anyway he wants to as long as it is not thrust in my face. If you don't want to own a gun, please don't. I promise that I won't defend you with mine.
Most of the time I have voted Republican because my interests are low taxes, small government, and individual rights. Any Democratic politician who promised sympathy with my interests was almost certainly a liar. With Republicans, at least conservative Republicans, there was a better chance the politicians actually supported my views (excepting RINOs and some of the religious right). Despite promising elements of the Libertarian and Reform parties in the past twenty years, there really hasn't been much of an alternative to the Ass and Elephant Show.
While my disgust with the Democrats knows no bounds, I have become extremely disillusioned with the Republican Party. Instead of differentiating itself from the Democratic Party, the Republicans have spent a generation being the "me, too" party. With Democrats the growth of government from Franklin Roosevelt forward has been exponential. When Republicans are in power the growth is only slightly less than exponential. When the Democrats want the government to take over and socialize the health care system, Republicans should say, "NO!!!!!". Instead, they just come up with a less-intrusive, less socialist government takeover.
I am beginning to believe that voting Republican is only forestalling the collapse and the end of the America I grew up in. With Republicans in power, it will still happen, it will just take a little longer. Maybe, just maybe we can get this over with a lot sooner and rebuild this country if we let Democrats finish the demolition job they have started on this country. Instead of voting for Republicans, or Libertarians, or not voting at all, we should all vote for Democrats in November 2010. Let them finish their destruction so that we citizens can organize our militias, round up the Obamorons, and commence rebuilding this country without them.
Voting for Democrats in order to hasten them along their destructive path is not the same as joining the Kool-Aid drinkers who elected the likes of Obama, Pelosi, Reid and, in the case of my state, such dubious intellects as Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. Voting for Democrats allows them to finish the now-inevitable collapse and to own the mess completely. It also makes cleaning up Washington and every other political capital that much easier. When the landscape is neck-deep in Democrats, one can be much more indiscriminate in the use of the pitchfork.

Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
I haven't posted in just over a month now. I've been watching the economy and politics, wondering when the crash is going to come. There are enough indicators that it is going to happen, what with the government spending like there is no tomorrow, China signalling that it will stop buying our debt, phantom buyers of treasury bills, and the price of gold persistently staying above $1,100.00 per ounce. I have been noticing something interesting about gold over the past few weeks: whenever the price gets over $1,140.00 and appears to be heading higher, there is a sudden drop off in the price, bringing it down near $1,100.00. I have noticed that this just about always happens only when the NYMEX market is open. Is someone manipulating the price of gold to keep the dollar afloat?
So, I firmly believe that an all out economic collapse is in the works. I don't know if it is a slow collapse over a period of weeks or a sudden collapse within the space of a day. But there is no way that the government can continue to spend the way it does without consequences.
Today I read some news that I believe is the other shoe, and that it has dropped. Get ready for the collapse to gain momentum.
According to this story on Newsmax, the social security trust fund is now running a deficit. It is paying out more to retirees and other claimants than it is taking in. What is even more alarming is the fact that the social security trust fund is now going to call in all of the IOU's from the federal government. That's right, the government is going to have to start paying back all of the money that it borrowed over the years to finance massive deficit spending.
The federal government borrowed from the social security trust fund so it would not have to borrow from foreign sources (read: China).
The solution seems simple. Either cut spending or replace the "domestic" borrowing from social security with foreign investors. If the recent news is any indication, cutting spending is out of the question. The Obamorons plan on running a deficit in 2010 of over $1,500,000,000,000.00. That's before we add in the costs of the Obamacare Obamination and other boondoggles.
That leaves foreign sources. The two biggest foreign purchasers of our debt, China and Japan, have been cutting back. China has been rumbling that it will not be purchasing more and will in fact sell off treasury bills if something doesn't change. So far the Obastard has thumbed his nose at the Chinese. Japan doesn't look much better after it has elected a less-than-pro-U.S. government.
With tax receipts in free-fall, the federal government has little choice but to crank up the printing presses and line up more phantom buyers at the treasury auctions.
I think this is the beginning of the end. Got preps?

Quote of the Day
"Since it is unacceptable for people to believe that government agents will carry out paramilitary raids to confiscate firearms, a paramilitary force was sent to Girard’s home to confiscate his firearms."
William Grigg
(describing how the Manchester-By-The-Sea, Massachusetts police violated the constitutional Rights of Citizen Girard by taking his lawfully purchased firearms after his wife told the police about his supposedly alarming view that martial law was imminent).
