Random Musings of a proud “Tea Partyer”.
1. If Islam is a religion of peace and Muslims really don’t support the radicals among them, why do our government leaders & the news media have to keep telling us that? Why is it not just self-evident?
2. If the Democrats thought the deficits created by Bush & the Republican Congress were so bad, why are Obama’s deficits that are 4 times what Bush had not considered 4 times worse?
3. If Obamacare is “urgently needed by the American people”, why does the House bill start taxing for it immediately but not start providing the “benefits” until four to five years later?
4. If Obamacare is so good, why do the liberal Democrats feel the need to push it through this year? Why not wait until next year when it is closer to the elections so that all Democrats can be more closely associated with it and get the credit for it at election time? Oh yeah, I forgot, it’s “urgently needed” - four or five years from now.
5. If Obamacare will pay for itself & not add to the deficit, why do they need to start taxing for it four years before it goes into operation? And, why do they have to take $500 billion from seniors’ Medicare to help cover the cost? Do you suppose that might have a negative impact on seniors’ health care service?
6. Do you suppose the fact that the AARP will financially benefit through the increased sale of their own health insurance policies under Obamacare had anything to do with their backing of the House bill? Follow the money – do the same for the AMA’s endorsement.
7. Do you suppose that the lack of support for tort reform in the Obamacare bill (lawsuits are estimated to add between 20% & 26% to the cost of health care) & the fact that the Trial Lawyers Association is one of the biggest contributors to the Democratic party is just coincidence?
8. Do you ever wonder if the Trial Lawyers Association name crosses Obama’s mind when he harangues on about “special Interests” having too much power in Washington? Don’t wonder about it too long ….
9. Candidate Obama promised to televise the “Health Care Reform” bill negotiations on C-SPAN as part of his transparency in government pledge. Do you suppose President Obama recently reminded Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid of his campaign promise? Do you suppose either of them would give a damn if he did?
10. If there are huge savings to be had through making Medicare & Medicaid more efficient, what are the Democrats waiting for? Why do they need health care “reform” to start achieving those savings?
11. If the President says Afghanistan is a “war of necessity”, why is the President not in a hurry to win it as quickly as possible?
12. Do you suppose Harry Reid thinks we’ve lost in Afghanistan? If so, do you suppose he’ll say that to the news cameras?
13. If Iran will give up on its desire to create a nuclear weapon because President Obama apologizes & speaks nicely to them, why did the same people, who now control Iran, taunt & belittle the equally apologetic Jimmy Carter administration in 1979 & 1980 when those Iranians took our embassy officials hostage? Why do you suppose the Iranians immediately caved in to the unapologetic Reagan administration and gave back the hostages?
14. Why are the Democrats always so worried about the Republicans “self destructing” by moving more towards conservative ideals? Wouldn’t you think the Democrats would be happy about the self destruction & just shut up about it & let it happen?
15. If a man attends a church for 20 years & has his children baptized by the pastor of that church but says he never knew of the pastor’s hate speech that had gone on in that church during those 20 years (including videotaped copies of the hate speech for sale at the church), do you suppose it is plausible the man is lying? Or, do you think the man is just a poor listener?
16. If the “advanced” global climate change models, that show the earth is warming at an alarming rate due to human caused carbon emissions, are any good, why did the authors of those climate models have to change the models after the fact to account for the last 11 years of cooler global temperatures & cooler oceans?
17. If Carbon emissions are warming the earth, why has the earth (most importantly the oceans) been cooling for the past 11 years while Carbon emissions have gone up?
18. If Al Gore is so concerned about his children & grandchildren living in an environment so damaged by “global warming caused by manmade carbon emissions”, why do you suppose he keeps increasing his carbon footprint with his large house, large cars, & frequent flights on private jets?
19. If Christians are just as likely to be terrorists in the name of Christ as Muslims are to be terrorists in the name of Allah, why aren’t the Lutherans bombing the hell out of Minneapolis, MN & the Southern Baptists shooting up Jackson, MS? Speaking of terrorists, do you suppose Bill Ayers would be more likely to be a follower of Reverend Wright or the Pope?
20. If our government leaders & the news media are so concerned about hate crimes, why do you suppose so little is said about hate crimes directed towards Jews, the number one target of hate crimes? Oh yeah, when was that last Jewish terrorist attack on the United States?
21. If the Constitution was intended to be a living / breathing document always changing with the times, why do you suppose it takes a sizeable effort to officially amend it?
22. Do you think you might need the protection of the Constitution someday? If so, do you hope it won’t be changing with the times to suit the arbitrary likes or dislikes of a particular judge? How about to suit the arbitrary likes or dislikes of a particular President? Did you notice what happened when the Germans let their Constitution be interpreted according the changing times in the 1930s? How about Venezuela in the current changing times?
23. If we spent $787 billion to raise unemployment another 3% to a national average of 10.2%, do you suppose instead we could have spent $1.574 trillion to have driven it up 6% to a national average of 13.2%? Do you suppose the Democrats will give it a try? Do you suppose the younger folks who helped vote Obama into office will ever come to hate the deficit he’s piling on them?
24. If New York keeps increasing its tax rates and its tax revenues keep going down, do you suppose New York will raise its tax rates high enough to drive revenues to zero?
25. Do you suppose that if the Secretary of Homeland Security had been more focused on Islamic terrorists and less focused on returning-from-battle U.S. military “terrorists”, Hasan might have been stopped before he performed his act of Islamic terror? Do you wonder how many of those U.S. military returning-from-battle “terrorists” she caught? Do you suppose she’s heard of Islamic Jihadists? If so, do you suppose she’s concerned about them and their terrorist rampage? What is her job again?
26. Do you suppose that if a few of those soldiers in the Ft. Hood Soldier Readiness Center had been armed they could have stopped Hasan before he killed 14 (including the unborn child) and wounded 41? Do you think Hasan may have picked that spot for his shooting spree because he knew no one would be armed in the Readiness Center?
27. If a burglar is deciding to burgle houses in your neighborhood and knows you are unarmed but your neighbor has a gun or two, all other things being equal, which house do you suppose he’ll choose? Would you want to borrow one of your neighbor’s guns that evening?
28. Why do you suppose that when guns are outlawed, gun crime goes up?
29. If all of a sudden gold was available just for the picking in everyone’s backyard, do you think its value would go up or down? Do you think the same logic might be true about the value of the dollar? Which has risen more in value since the dollar went off the gold standard – the dollar or gold? Which has been more freely available? Which has recently been dumped into the U.S. economy?
30. If using the medical services of a doctor who has trained & studied for many years is a “right” for everyone, if prescription medicine that took significant investment & risk to develop should be available to all as a “right”, and if medical equipment that takes capital investment and the services of others to build is given to you & me as a “right”, then do you suppose it was a “right” for the plantation owners to keep the cotton planted & picked by slaves in the early days of this country? Why do you suppose we waged a civil war to stop slavery if the value of work & property can be arbitrarily taken from some and bestowed upon others as a “right”?
31. Why did we have to turn in clunkers as part of the payment for those new cars? Don’t we have a right to a new car?
32. If the Obama administration wants to be so transparent, why do you suppose the President will not allow photos taken of him while smoking his two packs per day? Will he still have a right to slowly kill himself under Obamacare? Do you suppose he tries to avoid the extra high cigarette taxes by secretly flying to Missouri to buy his smokes? Did you ever wonder why he makes all those transcontinental flights that just happen to stop in St. Louis to “refuel”?
33. Do you suppose Mother Teresa would have had Mao as one of her favorite philosophers?
34. Do you suppose we can balance the budget & reduce the deficit by taxing the citizens in those extra 7 states that President Obama talked about during his campaign? Do you suppose that is where all the people who voted for him in the last election are hiding?
35. If raising the minimum wage was such a good thing, is 50% unemployment among black teenagers an equally good thing? Do you suppose there might, just possibly, be a correlation?
36. Have you noticed this Congress is not holding hearings into the causes of the mortgage meltdown? Do you suppose they may already know the answer? Do you suppose they don’t want the American people to know the answer? (Do Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Community Reinvestment Act ring a few bells?) Do you suppose Christopher Dodd was influenced by his sweet deal from Country Wide?
37. If the liberal Democrats believe letting illegal aliens come to the U.S. to take jobs from U.S. citizens is a good thing, why do you suppose the Democrats are so opposed to having other jobs taken overseas & away from U.S. citizens? Do you suppose they ever notice the inconsistency?
38. If the government can run health care so effectively, why do you suppose, with all of the warning & time they had, the Obama administration doesn’t have enough of the H1N1 virus vaccines prepared for this “national emergency”?
39. If “free” national health care is so good, why do you suppose are there prosperous businesses in Canada that specialize in getting Canadian citizens to a U.S. doctor when they really need life saving care?
40. When you are waiting for a government bureaucrat in Washington D.C. to decide whether you are eligible for a certain health care service that is necessary to save your life, do you suppose you’ll be at least a little bit nervous? Have you experienced customer support from any government agency? Will that experience will make you feel more or less nervous?
41. Do you think a few Californians may have had plans for the extra 10% of their income their state assembly suddenly decided to withhold from their paychecks? Do you suppose you’d like to give your state a supposedly-6-month no interest loan equaling 10% of your income (before taxes)? No, well then how about to me? Have you heard that a number of Californians are moving to Tennessee? Do you suppose it has anything to do with California’s tax system versus Tennessee’s? I wonder what that does to California’s tax revenues.
42. Do you suppose President Obama ever lies………about his golf score?
How’s that “Hope & Change” working out for you?
