Obama's endorsement is kryptonite to voters

The anti incumbent sentiment continued on Tuesday as Pennsylvania voters gave Sentator Arlen Specter an early retirement. The president had endorsed Specter and Vice President Biden had been on the campaign trail with Specter in recent weeks. Specter's loss to Joe Sestak is also notable because Sestak didn't have the backing of either the state or national democratic parties and campaigned on a platform against health care reform and TARP bailouts.

In similar fashion, Rand Paul, son of Texas Representative and possible 2012 presidential candidate Ron Paul, defeated Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson. Grayson enjoyed the backing of retiring Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as well as the state and national GOP.

In Arkansas, Senator Blanche Lincoln failed to get more than 50% of the vote and now faces a runoff for her senate seat with Arkansas Lt. Governor Bill Halter in three weeks. The winner will then face Republican John Boozman. Senator Lincoln also enjoyed President Obama's support but clearly the president's coat tails are all but nonexistent at this point.

It is almost a given that the tide of anti establishment sentiment will continue to grow through November as Obama, Pelosi, and Reid continue to push an agenda that the American people clearly do not want.

Obama says information is a distraction?

Last weekend, President Obama gave the commencement speech at Hampton University in Virginia. In that speech is the now infamous ipod quote, "You are coming of age in a 24-7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't rank that high on the truth meter. And with iPods and iPads, X-boxes and Play Stations; none of which I know how to work. Information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than a means of emancipation." (video here)

The media tried to laugh this off as the president being funny and technology challenged. Since when is information a distraction? Information is POWER! And that is why the president and his minions in the liberal media have been in an all out assault on Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean, Hannity, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party.

The president and the left understand the threat that Fox News, talk radio, and the Internet present to their hostile takeover of America.

The president has now created his own White House media that has been the only outlet to interview supreme court nominee, Elana Kagan. Why hasn't anyone else been able to interview her? So they can control the information and therefore the power. Where does that rate on the truth meter Mr. President?

We're beginning to see some dissension in the ranks. There have been a few in the liberal media who are beginning to question the new white house media. Why, because they aren't getting an opportunity to interview Kagan? More likely it's that they're being excluded from the inner circle and losing their power. But would they really ask the tough questions? Of course not; because they are nothing more than a propaganda tool for Obama... When he needs them.

What's even more troubling is that they are excluding the media even further as evidenced by the new White House Video Blog. Here you will find all kinds of video that the media has been excluded from. I thought this was going to be the most transparent administration in history?

More like opaque. The president and his administration have become quite adept at saying one thing while doing something else entirely. What will be interesting to watch is whether or not the media will start doing there job. I doubt it.

Save NASA Rally

Republican and Tea Party groups From Houston and Galveston will be holding a rally to save jobs at NASA. The rally will begin at 6:30 PM at the League City Sportsplex.

The rally is being held to protest a Democratic fundraising rally help under the auspices of saving jobs at NASA. The rally is sponsored by the AFL-CIO Union and Speakers will include Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congressman Gene Green, and will be hosted by Jim Yarbrough.

Republicans and Tea Party members are upset that the democrats taking advantage of an issue of vital importance to the Houston - Galveston Bay Area. The feeling is that it is the Obama administration that has made sweeping cuts to the space program and are now trying to pin this on the past administration.

Apollo 17 commander, Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, told lawmakers Wednesday the Obama administration's plan to shift near term space flight to private industry could result in a 10 year gap between the end of the shuttle program and the debut of reliable rockets.

NASA faced similar circumstances when Bill Clinton slashed the budget which forced mass layoffs during the 90's. Since NASA isn't a social program, Democrats seem to have little use for this program with the exception of pushing the global warming myth.

Leaders from the GOP and the Tea Party urged people to be respectful and to be aware that many media outlets are likely to be in attendance.

I'm Back

For those that don't know, I spent nearly a week in the hospital and a few additional recovery days at home after having surgery to repair a broken back (my second one). My other hobby aside from politics is cycling and suffice it to say that I won't be racing again for a while. Thankfully I have such a great family who is taking care of me: My beautiful wife, my mom and mother-in-law came to town, and of course my boys.



I'm also glad that we still have our current health care system because I would have likely had to wait 6 months to year to get this type of surgery, not to mention that I was able to select one of the top spinal surgeons in the world to perform both surgeries.



I'm finally lucid enough to catch up with what's happened the last couple of weeks. From what I can tell, not much; oil continues to poor into the Gulf of Mexico and the Democrats are still trying to fly us straight into the mountain of socialism.



After seeing that public sentiment is with Arizona despite the propagandist media tyring to make the sheeple think to the contrary, the democrats have decided to shelve immigration reform. Our illustrious regime has re-branded Cap & Trade for the third time and it's now called The American Power Act.



The fact of the matter is that if this bill does pass, it will likely be the final nail in the coffin of our economy. The bill will drive what's left of American manufacturing off shore because of incredibly high Carbon Taxes.



Of course this will create more unemployment despite them hyping these so called green jobs. In Europe, where these measures have already been implemented, unemployment has soared. In fact, many of the EU countries are repealing these measures because they have been such a detriment to their economies.



The other kicker in this is that it is now widely disputed that global warming is happening. The data has been manipulated and lied about to promote this hoax. Of course the global left continues to stick to the big lie thinking that if they repeat it often enough the people will believe them.



The face of the global warming movement, Al Gore won't even take questions any more and has banned media from attending his speeches. Why is this? It's because just like his movie it's all being disproved. Gore, who had the audacity to stand on a stage and say, about George Bush, "He betrayed this country! He played on our fears!"



Al, the person betraying his country is you. Al Gore is also tied to Maurice Strong who said, "what if a group of these world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the earth comes from rich countries? In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring this about?"



So who is Maurice Strong? Aside from being tied to Al Gore, he's also linked to the Clinton's, been Secretary General of The United Nations (who always has America's best interests at heart), The World Bank, and the author of the Kyoto Protocol just to name a few.



The revolution has begun and we must be prepared for the fight.

Chrysler’s Fall May Help Administration Reshape GM

Chrysler's Fall May Help Administration Reshape GM. This headline should cause us all to wake up and realize that in the last 100 days, our country has made such a major shift away from freedom and liberty to that of tyranny and government control.

Since when is it the government's place to reshape any private business interest? The US government now has a controlling interest in General Motors as well as much of the banking industry. The implications of this are quite significant because this is the most significant step towards socialism since the New Deal.

The last time I checked the one business that the US government does run, the US Postal Service, is in a complete shambles and has been running in the red for quite some time. The funny thing is, it's not even supposed to make a profit, just break even and they can't even manage to do that.

One could argue that Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the IRS are all businesses too and of course all of them are horribly inefficient. The only government agencies that are somewhat efficient are our military but of course the bureaucrats always find a way to screw that up too but I digress. If the USPS and The Social Security Administration are any indication of the effectiveness of government run entities, we're all in for an even more rude awakening than we could ever imagine.

Those of us in our right state of mind understand what is happening but my fear is that most American don't. Since the looters (liberals) control most of the media, Obama and his minions are able to spread the big lie that they are helping rather than stealing our freedom. It is imperative that conservatives continue to fight the good fight and limit the damage they are doing to our country.

Think of it like this: if Obama has been able to make such a major shift towards a socialist state in 100 days, what will he be able to accomplish in the 1,300+ that he has left?

Spread the word,

Back In The Saddle Again

You don't realize what you've got until it's gone. I have been fighting a series of injury problems since being hit by a car and breaking my back. Of course I had surgery to repair the damage and now have 8 screws and 2 steel rods supporting my lower back.

After rehabilitating from my surgery, I thought I had made it all the way back, only to find out 2 of the screws in my back are stripped. Subsequently, there won't be any more racing in my future but I can still ride for fitness.

After 10 weeks off the bike letting my back heal, I've logged three good weeks of training.

• Week 1 - 50.2 miles / 2.88 hours of training
• Week 2 - 114.9 miles / 6.7 hours of training
• Week 3 - 158.2 miles / 8.8 hours of training

Now I'm looking forward to a rest week even though I am feeling very strong. The only problem that I'm suffering from is a sore tushy from such a long lay off. I think the hardest part of cycling is getting your self toughened up to spend long hours in the saddle. I am amazed at how the pros spend so much time on their bikes.

Fortunately, God has given me a third chance to ride and pursue my passion. Now I need to just enjoy the ride and all the benefits that come from living a healthy lifestyle.

Hammer On!

The Rudderless Ship

The Rudderless Ship

Over the last year I have spent quite a bit of my free time studying the founding fathers and the more I do the more I am convinced they would be very disappointed at what our country has become. Not since President Reagan have we had a capable leader with any kind of real vision or direction for our country. Needless to say I have become quite apathetic with our entire political process.

I mean seriously, which candidate strikes you as an actual leader with vision for the future that doesn't involve socialism? John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama. Please, it’s just more of the same style over substance. None of these people are capable of really leading our country into the future.

Unfortunately this means America is destined to spend another four years drifting along aimlessly like a rudderless ship on the sea of mediocrity. We’ll have our leader but regardless who wins, America and the rest of the world for that matter are destined to drift along for a while longer. Hopefully a new captain, will finally emerge and right the ship and lead us back toward that shining city on the hill.

From my studies, it appears that we only have a few great leaders each century (Reagan, FDR, JFK, Roosevelt) and now that it’s been nearly two decades since President Reagan left office we’re due to have a truly dynamic leader emerge sooner rather than later.

For those of you who know me, you know that this bothers me a great deal to say anything negative about America. I consider myself an ardent patriot, served in the U.S. Army for five years, and fought in Desert Storm. I am extremely proud to be a veteran and understand, like Thomas Jefferson “that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots.”

At one time I thought that George Bush going to emerge as that leader the way he lead us after 911. Unfortunately he has been relegated to fighting a politically correct war and has been constantly under the microscope of mostly liberal media. Most of the people in charge of the media are leftists who protested Viet Nam and seized upon the opportunity to turn Iraq into the same predicament.

What would these liberals, who hold FDR in such high regard, say about the tactics we fought World War II with? War is hell and unfortunately must be fought with an all or nothing mentality. I’m glad that we have the technology to drop a bomb down a chimney, I’ve seen it first hand, but we must stop worrying about what the media and the rest of the world think of us and fight with all of our might.

The world hated Reagan too only to find out that he was right all along. I remember his Tear Down This Wall speech and was fortunate enough to be stationed with a border patrol unit in Germany when that wall came tumbling down. What an amazing period in history to live and experience first hand. I remember East Germans coming up, so excited, thanking us for giving them their freedom. They wanted every thing American and were offering to buy the Levis we were wearing and the Nikes off our feet.

I guess every generation waxes nostalgic about the good old days and perhaps that’s all I’m doing too. I wouldn’t want to live any place else because regardless of our faults, we’re still the greatest country on the planet. I’m just looking forward to the next great American leader to emerge and lead us into the future.
