DUH?

Great Article by John Bolton on Obama's Foreign Policy Doctrine:  The Innocents Abroad.
To summarize for those with a math background, here's an equation of Obama's Doctrine (OD).

OD =  ( x 0) + ( x 0) 

From the article:  "Tracing these factors to their logical conclusions, we can see that Obama is simply an invention; there is less to him than meets the eye. Worse than being merely doctrinaire, he is hollow at the center. And that is most assuredly not what we need today, or for another presidential term." - John R. Bolton


I agree wholeheartedly John, we cannot afford another term with this man as President.

I am bringing my conservative political passions to the Closet Conservatives Blog.  I am going to post a weekly commentary focusing on conservative political thought.  At the same time, I'll use this opportunity to update Insane Conservative.  Check out the site:  http://closetconservatives.com.

California on the road to hell.

November 4, 2010.

Weather is brilliant, 90 degrees. Surf is up. Lakers are winning. And David Bahnsen describes where we are headed.

I just cannot give up the weather and waves here yet, but the alternatives are tempting. Do I want to keep funding our nightmare through my taxes?

California Election Guide, November 2010

California is a republic (see our state flag), not a democracy. What does that mean? We elect our representatives to decide what is best for us. Which also indicates we shouldn't have so many propositions on the ballots. Leave that to our elected representatives. So vote for conservatives, who will best represent the great state of California by lowering taxes and out of control spending. Here's how I'm going to vote and why.



US Senator - Carly Fiornia. 15% unemployment? Government spending out of control? Boxer would continue to raise taxes and spend, spend, spend. 28 years is enough.

Governor - Meg Whitman. Meg has a plan. Jerry admitted he doesn't have one. You need a plan to fix California's mess.

Prop 19 - NO. Legalize marijuana? Every major police organization and politician is a no on PROP 19.

Prop 20 - YES. Allows bipartisan and citizen input on redistricting.

Prop 21 - NO. Increase taxes to pay for State Parks? Only $18? Still, I don't trust the government to spend our money well. We are over taxed.

Prop 22 - YES. Theoretically prohibits state government from raiding local government funds. I'm voting YES because the California Teacher's Union is voting NO, and the Teacher's Union isn't concerned about better education, rather concerned about protecting their enormous pensions and benefits.

Prop 23 - YES YES YES. Stops global warming business restrictions until economy approves. If this doesn't pass, approximately 1 million jobs will be lost.

Prop 24 - NO. This is an attempt to increase taxes on corporations, thus killing jobs. Unions are for this, business is against. I'm with business. Vote NO.

Prop 25 - NO. Call for simple majority to raise taxes and pass budget. Democrats want to raise taxes in California, and the 2/3 vote required today thwarts a lot of those tax schemes. Unions want a YES so they get more revenue. So vote NO.

Prop 26 - YES. Requires 2/3 vote to pass new taxes, fees, levies, charges. We are over taxed as it is in California. Tax and spend is failed economic policy. Reduce taxes, reduce spending, then our economy will boom again.

Prop 27 - NO. This is an attempt by California Senate to continue to redistrict and keep their cushy government jobs. This is the anti Prop 20, which will allow for fairer redistricting. Where I live in Westchester, we used to vote in the South Bay, in which republicans would be competitive. But our more conservative district was re-drawn, and given to Inglewood and Maxine Waters, and which now keeps South Bay democratic, and no loss to Maxine who despite corruption charges, wins easily every time.

Seismic Shift

First off, prayers to those in Haiti, suffering from the earthquakes.

Congratulations to Senator Scott Brown from Massachusetts! Ted Kennedy must be rolling in his grave.

One year into the Obama Presidency, and we have a disaster. My new nickname for Obama is "Liar in Chief."

Obama ran on a platform to change the atmosphere in Washington, with a new spirit of cooperation, bipartisanship, and a rejection of special interest politics. The reality is, this administration has holed up in secret meetings (no Republicans allowed), and cut back room deals with special interest groups (Unions) to try and ram a very unpopular Health Care Reform bill through Congress.

We the people are not stupid. Or as the Clinton campaign used in 1992, "it's the economy stupid." The people want jobs. They want an economy that is expanding. And they do not want further government intrusion into their lives. In 2009, unemployment was at 7.5%. Obama slammed through a trillion dollar stimulus package, that promised to create jobs. Well, it failed miserably. Unemployment is now at 10%.

Now, I should stop right here, and not give away the farm. But I want our government to succeed. I want prosperity. The only way to save the Obama Presidency is to take a page from the Clinton Presidency. Clinton tried to run with a liberal agenda his first two years in office (Gays in the Military, Health Care Reform), and then the republicans swept into power in the House and Senate under the leadership of Newt Gingrich. Clinton learned to govern from the center, work with the Republicans. Cut taxes, cut spending. And for the most part, his Presidency experienced a great awakening of the American economy (assisted by the internet and technology boom of the 90s).

It appears, that Republicans will lay waste to many of the Democrats currently in office in the the November 2010 elections. Obama won't have carte blanche anymore. If he wants any chance at re-election, he needs to immediately abandon the liberal agenda, and do what works to improve the economy. Cut spending, cut taxes.
