I am thoroughly convinced that Barrack Husein Obama is a communist and idolizes the former USSR dictators. His 14 tsars of various responsibilities are simply puppets. Bill Cunningham accurately depicted Obama's administration by leaving the American population with change only. We do not need nationalized healthcare (obamacare aka sociolized medicine), we do not need to spend trillions of dollars to bail out companies that were irresponsible, we do not need to cap and trade. He is trying to get all the power he can and add a "S" into the USA, thus earning the title of United Soviet States of America...It pains me to even type that or think about it. My forefathers fought for my freedom. Now is our time to fight the tyranny of the current administration for the freedom of our children. We do not need to bury the middle class in so much debt that we essentially have children born into debt that they will never be able to get out of. IF all 300 million people were to pay off this debt that is rising close to 2 trillion dollars, we are all responsible for 6700 dollars. When we have children they are now resonsible for that amount of money. That is paying it off right now. Personally i do not have 6700 dollars to pay the government so we tack on all the interest and we easily owe close to 10,000 dollars. It is insane, that is an additional amount to the already paid taxes we pay. And if this Cap and Trade bill add another 3000 dollars to your taxes. An average family that makes between 100,000 and 150,000 dollars per year has to pay between 5,000 and 10,000 dollars already every April. Now add on this money and every middle classed family in the country has to write the government a 23,000 dollar check in April. 23,000 dollars! Where are they supposed to get this? Most of America is within 1 fatal family injury or illness away from bankrupcy. We live paycheck to paycheck, some worse than others but still.
If you respect the founding fathers and what this country was founded upon then you need to be against this frivoulous spending. Let me remind you what we were founded on. LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. How can we pursue happiness if we give every dollar we save to the government, how do we live with only change in our pockets, how is this liberty and freedom? It simply isnt. The American people do not want what congress is giving us. They are supposed to do as we say. We elect them to lead us, NOT use their power to get what they want.
That is all my readers.

Cash for Clunkers..A trade in program voucher
When I first heard of the idea of this I admit, I thought it was going to be a good idea. But once I got the details on it, Needless to say I am against it. This car voucher which gives any post-84 model that gets less than 4 mpg than the new car you want is worth $3500 or $4500 if it gets 10 mpg less. BUT it does not allow you to trade in a car and get the voucher, the voucher simply substitutes as a trade in. Totally useless unless you car is not worth $3500. So all of us with modern early 2000 model cars that were thinking about trading the car in for a new one that got better mileage or to celebrate a new job/recently graduation you are better off keeping your clunker. This clunker program only affects people driving cars worth less than $3500 but those who drive cars that are in that nature cannot afford a new $24,000 car.
thank you government for being even more wasteful time to create this useless program. thank you very much....

Notes on Economy, Energy, and Hybrids
So like it or not here it comes..the low down on hybrids and the true ownership costs, the energy crisis, and maybe a little bit about the president and how he handles everything.
to start this blog off i will cover hybrids. while hybrids boast the high 30 to low 40 miles per gallon this isnt the true cost of energy that they do use..In gen 1-2 and all non plug in hybrids you have to factor in the cost of the batteries for them. these batteries only last about 10 years or 100,000 miles (the later to be reached in most circumstances). what happens after this has been reached? you are forced to replace the batteries which will set you back between 5-10 grand..i havent done the math on it but i know it makes true cost per mile higher, its just common sense. so basically if you buy a used hybrid, you need to go get a dunce hat and wear it. now plug in electric hybrids...a great concept and coming on to the market very soon..but where does this electricity come from? the wall? dont be ignorant..it comes from the electric grid which is 80 percent based on fossil fuels. so you arent any greener than that of a gas engine owner. not to mention that your electric bill jumps up and while you may save money at the pump you will put it into the pockets of the electric companies. so you really arent saving a dime and you definitely arent saving the world by driving a hybrid. leading to my next topic
with the increased usage of hybrids and general energy demand increasing where is this energy to come from? fossil fuels are not the answer because like the oil crisis they will only continue to get more expensive as mines are used up. solar is well expensive and does not have the capacity..it only works in the day time and most people work during the day and use little power at home. so now we all drive home in our hybrids and plug them in but oh wait a blackout occurs because we used up all the sun's energy we harnessed for the day..at best the capacity factor for a solar farm would be close to 60 percent which is assuming 60 percent of the day we are exposed to sun light and we have 100% conversion..both are highly unlikely. similar to solar wind is considered the next best green option. and like solar, wind has a low capacity factor..simply there is not the amount of wind required to turn the blades at 100% speed all the time. I believe the number is in the low 30s or 20s depending on area. what is left? dare i say the words...NUCLEAR!!! OMG nuclear its like the devil and its terrible, radiation is bad :( as many of you know this is a common view and it couldnt be more wrong. everything in this world is radioactive to an extent. capacity factors on nuclear plans are in the low 90s and it is the safest form way to convert a fuel into a power due to the extensive designs and regulations. nuclear is by far the only option to solve this crisis in a timely manner and not risk the rolling blackouts due to the irregularity of the actual energy demands of the only other two options. the ignorant population wants a magic power that comes free and is underground so they dont see it and is always there when they want it..well guess what it does not exist so face the system. the fact is democrats keep screwing the industry over. it started with carter turning his back on his heritage (he was either a nuclear operator on a sub or an engineer on one..but in the navy these two are vary similar positions) now we have pelosi and reid blocking everything and the poison has spread into the white house. we need nuclear and we need it now..the time to start building plants is now. the time to start training new engineers and scientists is now. use some of that stimulus money to give scholarships for students to study in those areas.. leading into my final topic
the president couldnt be more wrong on the economy...the national debt has risen substantially in the last 5 months and there is no plan to reduce it. now he wants to spend an addtional 1 trillion dollars to fix healthcare? this is the most absurd thing i have ever heard. i watched his abc special report on blah blah blah free healthcare blah blah blah lies lies lies. let me simplify it for you. bankrupt america. he is going to bankrupt america or put the country into a depression. it will have to pay for this somehow. it will come sooner than you think. the current recession may be lifting but when april 15th 2009 rolls around and the middle class has to start shelling out his first born child just to pay its taxes. i kid you not..it may not be 2009 but we will have another recession or depression because of this spending. taxes will get raised and the middle class will suffer as they have been since the beginning of the bourgeois in times of the monarchies of europe. we need a GOOD plan to pay for the debt we already have before spending any more large sums of money. period. and what about North Korea? the korean war has never ended..it is still going, right now they are just at a ceasefire agreement which came to an end at the end of may this year..the north koreans are looking for any excuse to invade and take over.we currently have roughly 30,000 men and women in that part of the world. they would have to fight off a 1.3 million man army..needless to say they would all not come out alive but it would cost us 30,000 america lives. appeasement politics do not work look at hitler and WWII. the only thing they understand is getting the literal piss bombed out of them. i say go for it. lets hit the capital city quick and hard. continuous bombing runs until they surrender. they dont have an airforce. so use the air to our advantage. block off the coast and get rid of the dictator before he makes this a nuclear grade conflict. and this whole iran situation..wtf you guys cant come have hot dogs and burgers with us because you killed civilians who rioted...seriously..like this is change this is the same old bush politics. i liked bush as a president but i did not like how he handled everything. change would have been to go in and offer to help quell the rebellion in a civilized manor..yes i know that the current president rigged the election but there isnt anything we can do about it. if we helped contain the rebellion as a peaceful act of kindness it would change the views of america as an evil empire. plus people would not be getting beat by our soldiers or killed. on the smoking ban garbage..i dont smoke and i dont like being anywhere around it but people have the right to smoke..it is not an illegal substance so get over it. people that smoke have been around it for their lives and you wont stop anybody from doing it unless you make it illegal (i dont think is right but still) targeting children..bad flavored tobacco products not so bad who cares if they have cherry flavored cigars or snuff...it gives the user a different flavor..i happen to love the smell of snuff or chew, i can thank an ex roommate randy for introducing me to the smell. i dont dip but i love the smell of wintergreen and other flavored snuff. you arent going to stop people from smoking unless you make it illegal so quit isolating a minority by raising taxes on it. all it does is take food out of the mouths of our children. i know you are questioning the validity of that statement so let me explain. the rich can afford the increased cost so no harm done, the middle class could give up a minor thing say not eating out at a restaurant on a weekly or biweekly basis to afford it but the poor would be forced to give up what? they would most likely buy less food in order to afford the increased costs of tobacco related products. less food means a kid could go hungry which is terrible. i disagree with spending money on bailing out any company whether it was AIG, GM, Chrysler, etc...all the automakers that were bailed out went bankrupt anyways..so a waste of70 billion dollars (50 for gm and 20 i think for Chrysler)
i agree with Thomas Jefferson, co founder of the USA, the government is meant to be wise and frugal. we are not acting wise or frugal at the moment. in fact it is the exact opposite.

The Dawn of 1/21/09
Yes that is the 1st day when Obama is president. Being a republican, myself, makes me cringe at the idea of a democratic president and democratically controlled congress, but like many of you think some change was needed. Over the past few days while i watch the late news on Fox Topeka (the only channel i get by the way) all of the talk is about this inauguration that is to take place tomorrow. With the state of the union, there is no way a republican candidate really had a shot at making a 12-16 year period of white house control. In my eyes all politicians are the same, they all tell you what you want to hear and do whatever they want to. They look out of numero uno or their party. They dont care about the people. Maybe I am cynical but so be it. So many people talk about how tomorrow is going to be historical, news flash: no matter who was elected; what color his/her skin was; or as previously mentioned gender, it would have been historical. It is a big ordeal when ANYBODY gets inaugurated as the most powerful leader in the world. It seems like utter nonsense that people are getting tattoos of this guy on their body, yes permanent tattoos of a guys face on their body. I dont know how you feel about that, but I can tell you I think it is beyond insane. Tattoos themselves are ok, I have tossed the idea around of getting one myself, but if I do get one, it would never be some girls name or a picture of anybody because I find that creepy and disturbing. I heard talk of his green inauguration and I just had to laugh. The day itself may have taken a lot of precautions to be green but what about millions of people that traveled on commercial airlines, private jets, diesel powered buses, and their luxury cars? That doesnt sound green to me. When the big automakers went to congress in their private jets they were told no because of their lavish trip on a private jet. Now there is nothing you can really do about the millions of people that are going to be there but marketing it as green? I just had to laugh. I am no politician and like I said before, cynical but absolutely nothing is going to change when he is in the white house. The troops will still be over seas, the economy will still suck as it will for the next few years, gas prices will still be all over the place, and the country will continue to spend more money than it has and go into a larger debt. I am not saying that McCain or anybody else would have fixed these issues, well McCain would have been a better leader for the military due to is military life. Obama is a great public speaker, but that doesnt mean he isnt like every other politician aka liars or in latin many blood sucking ticks. It doesnt mean everything is going to be magically fixed over night. I actually pity the man for the problem infested and troubled country he now gets to lead and have the masses blindly follow him and wonder if everything is going to be fixed. I will be utterly amazed if all of the problems even get addressed in the first 100 days, let alone his first term. Expect the best, get disappointed; expect the worst, get surprised. Who would you rather be?
