Are you a true conservative, and What Do You Want To Conserve?

I always ask the question, define “conservative.”

No Republican has ever been able to reverse the tide of rising federal spending. None. Gingrich came the closest. And he wasn’t able to stop it; he was able to slow it down. Reagan certainly wasn’t able to stop it. Bush just joyously padded it, added to it.

The honest look at this, or the honest appraisal of the current malaise that we find ourselves in, and I believe H.L. Mencken, the great writer, said this once upon a time, that the American people vote for the government they want, and they ought to get what they want and get it hard. You people vote to be ruled. You people vote to be taxed. You people vote to create welfare, welfare frauds, welfare cheats, welfare moms. You vote for it. You don’t demand that your legislators go to wherever it is they’re legislating at and leave you the hell alone. You go there, you vote in most instances, maybe up until the last year or so until you found this show, you vote for your share of the loot. You vote for your share of the booty, of the goodies. Hey, man, bring some of that back to me, man. I want to inject, I want to mainline it. Come on, I need my fix.

The sooner we admit that, the sooner we admit that we were wrong and we need to reverse that practice. Like Jim DeMint said yesterday, too many people believe that they send someone to Washington, D.C. to go get them something. And too many Republicans believe – your saviors – that they send someone to Washington, or to Beacon Hill in Massachusetts’s case, or in Rouge Baton here in Louisiana’s case, you send your legislature there, or legislator, to go get you something. “Hey, man, its your job to go fend for my fair share.”

This is why I laugh at this idolatry of the tax cut. “Chris, aren’t you for tax cuts?” I’m for no income taxes. None. Zero. Zip. I am for no national sales or value-added taxes. None. Zero. We’ve got enough people consuming enough goods made in foreign lands that come into this country to tax them and tariff them to provide for all the common defense you people could ever want.

I know what you people say, If we eliminate taxes, we won’t have a military, Chris, you idiot, and we’re all going to get steamrolled.” We have 675 million firearms in this land. 675 million firearms. You people have been watching too many reruns of “Red Dawn.” You people, the militia out there, 675 million firearms. You boast and brag about how locked and loaded and armed you are. You think the Mexicans don’t know that? You think the ChiComs don’t know that? You think the Russkies don’t know that? All this, but we have to have taxes. If we don’t have taxes, goofball, we’re not going to have a military.”

Did you know that if you eliminated the income tax, just eliminated it, eliminated all the revenue from the income tax – and I’m using 2007 tax numbers. If you eliminated what the federal government took in in income taxes – which are illegal in my estimation, but that’s another arguement for another day.
If you eliminated the income taxes in the 2007 budget, there was still enough tax revenue pouring into the Federal Treasury to fund the government operations that existed before George W. Bush took office in 2000. That’s right. You could fund the entire governmental apparatus that existed at the end of Bill Clinton’s two terms in office without an income tax. All of it. But oh, no. “Chris, we want to be taxed for military spending.
We have to police the world, dude.
You need to stop hanging out with those libertarians.” We can’t afford the police the world anymore.
I don’t understand what part of this is not sinking in.

Oh [sighing]. Another day, another dollar. Another day, another round, another discussion with decepticons and others. What do you mean, Venice is sinking? Why is Venice sinking? You mean Venice, Italy is sinking? Oh, oh [laughing]. We could all use a little bit of global warming right now. Because of global warming, Venice is sinking.

Oh, and by the by, Dear Leader Chairman Maobama, remember the new guy that turned a new leaf? I heard loud and clear what the pickup truck fans and Massachusetts said, and we’re going to listen.

Here’s a headline from earlier this week:
Obama to Nationalize Student Lending with Pending Budget Bill.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been blogging about this forever. When Obama was on the campaign trail, as a matter of fact, this is how he got the name Chairman Maobama. Because he said [I`m mimicking President Obama], “We need to stop giving money to banks and other lending institutions that make money on student loans when the government can do it cheaper.” He actively wants the federal government competing for the profits(you know those dangerous profits that all the companies he demonizes strives after)– or actually wants to eliminate the competition from the federal government. How ironic is that?
The healthcare bill is all based on choice. “We want choice.” There are choices now for students that want to get loans. There are. there’s too much choice. So, and there are too many people making money on the choice. So we’re going to eliminate it.

A bill currently before the Senate would empower the Obama administration to nationalize the student lending industry, eliminating the federally subsidized private loans millions of university students rely on for their education. I would say that they rely on them to be de-educated. But that’s just me. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act currently being considered by the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee would eliminate the Federal Family Education Loan program. FFEL loans are federally subsidized and make up 80 percent of the student lending industry. And ladies and gentlemen, this is just yet another, another example, if I may point out, of the welfare state that you people participate in, that your chirruns, your tots participate in, and you never give it a thought. Federally subsidized student loans means that someone is subsidizing that loan. And if your tot or your tike doesn’t pay it back, then we’re all subsidizing. Oh, that’s fine, though. That’s fine. So now Obama proposes to take over yet another industry. Just Hugo Chavezing his way through industry after industry. Oh, I think I want to take this one over. Oh, I think I want to take that one over.

While all this is going on, congress just goes along, and for those out there that are keeping score thats dems/libs and republicans alike, not to mention the millions of americans that just stick their head in the sand and pretend that nothings going on, or just maybe it because they have been so brainwashed by the liberal agenda in our education system that they are too stupid to tell the difference between right and wrong, who knows, all I know is that this run away government has to be stopped and everyone in congress, the judicial system, and yes, the president, his admin, and all his czars should be arrested and jailed for what they have done to this once great nation.

That is my dream, my hope and change....!
