There is a tea pot brewing and it is going to boil over Tuesday November 6, 2012 to take this country back.
The Tea Party win yesterday in Texas was very significant. Although you wouldn't know it from listening to the national media or the Democrats as they try to spin it as a split in the Republican party. We are going to take this country back from all these spending, taxing, government-controlling Washington Representatives -whether Democrat or Republican. The Los Angeles Times reported today that Washington Senator Patty Murray, the chairman of the Democratic party senate campaign efforts says “Mitch McConnell (Republican Senate minority leader) is now going to potentially have a much more tea party-oriented caucus. And we have all seen the damage that has done to our ability to govern, to find compromise and to move this county forward in a positive direction. So I think it’s more of their problem than ours.”
I couldn't disagree with her more. Between the big Texas win yesterday and the overwhelming support for Chick-fil-A today, I know the Democrats and Obama are shaking in their shoes. The first President to come out in support for gay marriage suddenly (and he controls legislation as we all know - he didn't run in 2008 with this view). Then people wanting to boycott Chick-fil-A because of the owners comment that he believes in the traditional, biblical definition of marriage -one man and one woman - and 3 Democrat Mayors said Chick-fil-A wasn't welcome in their cities because of the Chick-fil-A owners comments. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister, declared it national "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" today. The turnout is overwhelming all over the country...we are standing up for freedom of speech and traditional marriage - not being anti-gay.
Look out Obama, Democrats and establishment Republicans - the tea pot is boiling over and we are going to move forward in a positive direction following the Constitution in 2013 and get you out of our lives!

OBAMA: THEY WANT TO CUT TEACHERS AND FIREFIGHTERS
Obama says "they want to cut teachers and firefighters." That is so misleading and ignorant. But Obama has to take the most useful local level jobs as an example of cutting. The federal government doesn't have any control over teachers and firefighters.
Teachers: On the Department of Education website under "What is NOT part of the Dept of Education's role," it is stated that the Federal Government has no control over the personnel of any educational institution. "These are responsibilities handled by the various states and districts as well as by public and private organizations of all kinds, not by the U.S. Department of Education."
Firefighters: From the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics
Mar 29, 2012 ... About 91 percent of paid firefighters worked for local governments in 2010. Most of the remainder worked for state or federal governments.
What the President does have control of is the size of the huge Washington bureaucracies and how much money the Government spends. We all know there is waste in the Federal Agencies that needs to be cut. I remember when President Clinton came in office, they did a photo-op showing him and Vice President Gore going through and tossing out waste in the Federal Government. It was only symbolic but at least he acknowledged the waste. President Obama increased department budgets and we have seen wasteful spending like never before in the last 3 years. The General Services Administration should be abolished. This is the Federal department which "serves a vital role in President Obama’s agenda to build a more sustainable, responsible and effective government for the American people." The GSA's lavish conference in Las Vegas fully-paid for by American taxpayers should be reason enough to fire everyone in the department and abolish it forever. But did Obama do anything about this? They probably got bonuses for their wreckless spending. In the first two years of Obama's administration, they increased their limosine fleet by 73%! And remember the 2.2 million spent on a new pair of buses for Obama to reach out to the people in the heartland. And what about the new 32 Czars Obama hired with taxpayer dollars-cut them! The administration has spent taxpayer dollars on the largest radio and television advertisements for government programs I have ever seen (food stamps and ObamaCare mostly) and our children will have to pay for all this and for Obama's lavish vacations for his family (many overseas). It is all enough to turn your stomach...and he says "they want to cut teachers and firefighters."
And while I’m on the subject, what about outsourcing? He’s trying to paint Romney as an outsourcer while at a private company when this administration gave/loaned Brazil 2 million dollars to drill for oil offshore when he bans drilling here by private companies! TALK ABOUT OUTSOURCING!

GOVERNMENT HIRES 16,000 IRS AGENTS, OBAMA DESTROYS WELFARE REFORM ACT OF 1996
We have Obama administration officials and Democrats saying this tax/penalty/mandate from ObamaCare will only affect about 1% of the population that don't want to purchase health insurance. What about the 50 million people we were told did not have health insurance during the health care debate? Well the Government is hiring 16,000 IRS agents to collect over ONE TRILLION dollars from American taxpayers according to the Congressional Budget Office. That means even if you don't want or don't have health insurance you will pay for coverage to the IRS. The Supreme Court twisted the law to say this is a tax and that congress has the right to tax the American people. They will decide that if you have a job, you can pay and your employer can pay. This should pose a significant burden on much of the working lower and middle class and businesses. So the 1% figure being touted is a bunch of bull.
Well, well. well. So today, the President will be letting some people leave the work force. How convenient. Have you heard this one? As of today, the Department of Health and Human Services released a policy directive rewriting the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. The new policy waives the federal work requirement for able-bodied Americans to actively seek employment in able to receive Welfare. The Welfare rolls dropped from 12.2 million in 1996 to 4.5 million today. So as these people stay on welfare indefinitely, taxpayers will now be paying for their health insurance too!
Let's EXPAND Welfare and CREATE Another Program (ObamaCare) while we are going bankrupt and have a downgraded credit rating for the first time in American history. What an idiot! What a Socialist! What an Imperialist!
Oh, maybe Obama can artificially reduce the unemployment rate with this move? Typical socialism - they take some who really don't want to work out of the work force, put them on welfare and it opens up some jobs for others...just in time for the election.

OBAMA WORKING ON GUN CONTROL UNDER THE RADAR
I feel like I am watching re-runs of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal as supporters of President Obama run from one television microphone to another trying to defend Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder and make the Congressional panel investigating the Fast and Furious Gun Running Operation look like the evil Ken Starr. Supporters talking points: The congressional panel is attacking Holder 'because of his skin color', the questions are "very pointed", this is all to make Obama look bad in a presidental election year, and of course "this was started under President Bush"...and on and on.
After the death of border patrol agent Brian Terry on December 15, 2010, a reporter asked President Obama about the "Fast and Furious" operation in which Obama said he first heard about it on the news. In a letter dated February 4, 2011 Department of Justice Attorney General Eric Holder denied the existance of Fast and Furious. Later he claimed it was a local office operation. But later, during the congressional investigation and under oath, he said that it was an operation which started under President Bush which he later "retracted" under oath when documents showed that the Wide Receiver operation in which he was refering to, had been shut down in 2007.
Now, after a year and a half of congressional investigation, President Obama invoked Executive Priveledge to withhold information from Congress in the "Fast and Furious" gun running scandal. ABC news reported 'Obama doesn't want congress to be able to snoop around in their email'. What happened to "We're the most transparent and ethical administration in U.S. history." - Obama, January 23, 2010.
Sarah Brady who became an avid proponent of gun control after the assasination attempt on President Reagan paralyzed her huband, James Brady, told the Washington Post in a story in their Style Section published April 11, 2011 that President Obama told her he was 'working on gun control under the radar'.
As far back as 1995, Eric Holder, said "We must brainwash people against guns."

President Obama invoked Executive Privelege in the investigation into the death of a border patrol agent. I invoke the question, "What are they trying to hide behind Executive Privelege?" I guess they're putting aluminum foil on the transparency on this one.

STATE OF THE UNION SPEACH
UNBELIEVABLE.
President Obama said 'the war in Iraq was successfully over which removed the evil dictator Saddam Husein who for over a decade racked havit on his people and our nation'. (We listened to him and all the Democrats condemn this war since its inception.) I guess he didn't send out his talking points to all his democrat talking heads who continue to say that the war in Iraq was the worst mistake in US history (Ariana Huffington on CNN last Sunday). Obama wants to keep taking more money for people to pay for government projects (except for the military that has been successful). He says we all want a smarter, smaller government.
Who does he think he fooling?
Obama's only budget since he has been President:
Percentages in parenthesis show increase or decrease from the Bush Administration budget of 2009 (also WAY TOO MUCH SPENDING!)
I can't believe what I heard tonight. God help us in the next election.

PROTESTS AGAINST CAPITALISM, WALL STREET VS. POST OFFICE PLEADS TO OPERATE MORE LIKE A BUSINESS
If you think the "Occupy Wall Street" movement is "grassroots" - think again. At first, I found it very ironic and a true testament to what works and what does not, that as the US Postal Service is begging the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs to be released from the government restrictions and mandates (both congressional and union) while the leftist-products of today's public school system are protesting against Capitalism and for government take-over of Wall Street, big business (on their own admission some of them do not know what they are protesting against). On September 6, 2011, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe told the Senate committee that without enactment of legislation by the end of September (last month), the Postal Service faces default, as funds will be insufficient to make a congressionally mandated $5.5 billion payment to pre-fund retiree health benefits.
“The Postal Service is in a crisis today because it operates within a restrictive business model and has limited flexibility to respond to a changing marketplace,” Donahoe testified. “We need the ability to operate more as a business does. This applies to the way we provide products and services, allocate resources, configure our retail, delivery and mail processing networks and manage our workforce.”
"Specifically, legislation is needed that would do the following:
Thank you Mr. Donahoe for providing the facts of what is wrong with government and union mandates on businesses. The Obama Health Care mandates haven't even been fully put in place and you are already asking to be released from them and those restrictions imposed on you by the failed leftist governmental and union policies of the past.
A union and a government run operation is under attack by within - someone wants to run it like a business to make it sustainable. "Grassroots", "ironic", - I don't think so - a protest by unions/the left by design after this senate testimony against a failing government-run program is more like it. Finally, MSNBC found a recruited "coffee party": they reported two years ago after the uprising of the Tea Party that the "coffee party" was looking for members. This is so funny it is sad.
Update to previous (last post): Obama's American Jobs Act has still not been co-sponsored (introduced) as a bill by a single Democrat in the House of Representatives.

This applies to the way we provide products and services, allocate resources, configure our retail, delivery and mail processing networks and manage our workforce.”
"Specifically, legislation is needed that would do the following:
- Resolve a unique law requiring the Postal Service to make $5.5 billion annual payments to pre-fund retirement health benefits
- Return $6.9 billion in Federal Employees Retirement System over payments
- Grant the Postal Service the authority to determine delivery frequency
- Allow the Postal Service to restructure its healthcare system to make it independent of federal programs
- Grant the Postal Service the authority to provide a defined contribution retirement plan for new hires, rather than today’s defined benefit plan
- Streamline the process for product development and pricing."
