A Sad Day for Republicans
After recent news, Mark Sanford should now resign, and then the Republican Party is left with a little less leadership. He was a strong conservative and a true Republican. Turning down stimulus money put him in the national spotlight. I believe many conservative and liberals upset with the stimulus packaged respected Mr. Sanford’s boldness. In my opinion, he had (obviously before this) a strong case for a part in the Republican nomination in 2012. He seemed intelligent, bold, eloquent, and fresh- almost a male form of Sarah Palin (except not as attractive of course). However, his hideous action bring flack from the left. He has lost a great deal of respect and credibility. Actions like this do the same for Republicans- the party of family values. It’s a sad day for the Republicans. Let’s hope Bobby Jindal doesn’t do anything stupid now.

Obama's Socialism Won't Be Built in a Day
Sitting in the kitchen Wednesday afternoon, I laughed and was angered at the same time as Sheppard Smith reported the news of a new czar. This time, a pay czar. I laughed because of how ridiculous it sounds in a capitalistic country. I was angered because of a majority of American’s are okay with their grandchildren living out Orwell’s 1984 in 2084(or sooner). How can we knowingly let America be deceived into a knowingly failed economic system?
Kenneth Feinberg, the first and probably not the last pay czar of the United State of America. President Obama has appointed Mr. Feinberg as the “Special Master for Compensation” if that doesn’t sound like another Orwellian name than I don’ t know what does. Feinberg is responsible for “[ensuring] that companies receiving federal bailout funds are abiding by executive-pay guidelines” according to Ms. Solomon of the Wall Street Journal http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124416737421887739.html . Seriously? If the socialist nature of the bailout wasn’t bad enough, now we have someone monitoring the our pay?
Now I understand that he only monitors the pay of companies backed by the federal bailout. But this is only the beginning. It starts with something small and grows larger. This is just another way for our President to bring intrusion into our economic system-another way for the government to control our life. Eventually, Mr. Feinberg or his successor will be able to monitor the pay of smaller businesses. The most ridiculous part of this whole situation is that the majority of CEO’s aren’t stealing money from their companies or taking enormous end of the year bonuses. They are hard working small business owners who put in more hours than they will ever get paid. During hard times like these, small business owners take pay cuts, sometimes to nothing, just to keep their business running. And when the good times return and the money is available, they will make up for the money they didn’t make earlier. However, Mr. Feinberg will oust these types of practices that keep small business running, and capitalism as we know it will be gone and replaced by a failed system.
Rome wasn’t built in a day. And neither will Obama’s socialist America. We must be careful and watch for the signs. Sometimes the liberal mainstream media does not report it but it is happening. President Obama is bringing change. Change we should be afraid of.

My political beliefs
For my first post, I will layout my political beliefs. I believe:
· Our current federal government is too big.
· We have lost the intent of our founders and all of them are rolling over in their grave when they see what we have done with the Constitution.
· The whole tax system is screwed up- starting with the income tax. The income tax, along with corporate taxes, the estate tax, the death tax, and many other unnecessary taxes allow the federal government to grow in size and invade our life more and more each day. The only way to change our system is with a complete overhaul of the taxing system. The FairTax is the best solution for America and its future. The government should let the free market run itself. The bailouts are ridiculous and will only hurt our economic situation. President Barack Obama, or no other president, should ever have the power to fire a CEO or president of any company- no matter what the size or situation.
· Our federal government should be run like a business. I understand that most businesses are small business where the CFO/CEO/president is one hard working American who does not make millions every year or take voluptuous end of the year bonuses. The federal government should have a sound budget like these small businesses do every year. This would be possible if we eliminated our spending on programs like welfare, Medicare, Social Security- that are not specified in the Constitution.
· Welfare is unconstitutional and only makes the situation worse for the people receiving it.
· Affirmative action is unconstitutional based on the 14th amendment and only allows the recipients to be mediocre.
· The best solution to our energy problems is for the government to stay out and let private entrepreneurs drill off our shore and in Alaska.
· The second amendment grants citizens the right to bear firearms. Plain and simple.
· The federal government should follow the 10th Amendment and let the states control all other matter. Let the states be, as Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once said, “laboratories of democracy” like the recent referendum of Prop 8 in California.
· The Supreme Court’s sole responsibility is to interpret the law and should take not part in creating legislation. I believe that Roe V. Wade should be overturned because everyone should have the right to life, including an unborn child
· The current war on terrorism was justified and was a success. We had several terrorist acts on American from 1993 to 2001 when we practiced apathy, and since 2001we have taken the fight to terrorist, no innocent American lives have died.
· The United States was founded on Judeo- Christian principles. Now this does not mean everyone must practice these values, but by recognizing them, the principles of the Constitution and the intent of the founders are clearer.
· Education was never a function of the federal government, but it looks like it is here to stay. Therefore, the best solution to high schools now is school vouchers.
· Global warming is not real. It has become a hoax by the government and liberal scientist and the media as another way to expand the federal government and control the lives of citizens.
· The American should get out of the United Nations. It has done us no good whatsoever.
· The government must crack down on illegal immigration. A fence would be a great way to monitor the border and protect American from possible terror suspects’ crossing over into America.
· As you can see, I am very conservative an all matters of government. However, I am not an anarchist. Government should protect Americans right to life, liberty and property (I understand these are the words of Locke not Jefferson). It should be in charge of national defense, interstate highways, and other minor things specified in the Constitution.
· To save America for as long as possible (since every great nation/empire in the history of the world has eventually collapsed and America will too one day) we must return to the original intent of our Constitution and founders.
