Post-Election Blue Wave: Democrats Have Flipped 2 Senate Seats And A Large Number Of House Seats Since Election Night

Election Influence

Minimum Wage Motivation

The ripple effect of a minimum wage raised by government intervention rather than by market forces are easily predictable.

Therefore, reasoning for the government to continue to intervene creating market inefficiency must reside outside of promoting gainful employment and the betterment of our economy including business owners, workers and consumers.

Wonder what the motivation could possibly be?

A. Attempting to increase the voter base of the Democrats
B. A cog in the wheel of the road traveled to socialism
C. Control of a large faction of the citizenry
D. All of the above

I'll take D, with B most weighted. What say you?

Dead Men Voting

Ante Up

Elisabeth Hasselback

A Facebook post, firing vile commentary directed at FOX & Friends co-host Elisabeth Haselback, alerted me that the progressive propagandists are stirring up the low information crowd once again.

On FOX & Friends, Hassleback hosted a conversation between two pundits about a proposal in Utah about young students having to pass a citizenship test.  Hassleback queried whether such a testing mechanism should be utilized before a citizen could vote, which is a legitimate inquiry.

With that question, Hasselback was described by the left as guilty of aiming to bring back Jim Crow laws, which would according to the author of the article linked in the Facebook post, supposedly hammer African Americans.  Hasselback's inquiry was not even remotely an attempt to suggest such a thing, rather an implication asserted by the author of the article. 

During the discussion on FOX, it was the pundit from the right, Whitney Neal, who found the idea of a test unnecessary, instead championing the idea of school systems investing in more educational opportunities in the arena of civics and government.  I agree completely.

It has been well chronicled, that although we continue to spend increasingly enormous amounts on public education, those investments are spent without receiving an adequate return on investment. 

Again in reference to Aldous Huxley, our citizenry, particularly a great deal of representatives of our young people in their high school and college years, are drunk on sea of irrelevance.  They know what the Kardasians are up to, who the new upcoming rapper on the scene is, but have no idea who their congressman is, or who the United States recently began bombing.

And they do not seem to care; with the lack of intellectual curiosity quite alarming.


On the subject of a minimum set of standards with respect to voting, I am open to investigating some options.  I cannot recall the exact source of the following quote, but is fixed firmly in the seat of truth.

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

With over 50% of the citizenry receiving some sort of governmental assistance, we have reached the point described in the above referenced passage.  Even if this was agreed upon as the proper direction for our government, the efforts are unsustainable for a country that is arguably insolvent.  For those who champion an increase in taxation as a remedy, it is noted the significant increase in taxation needed would fail to solve the issue anyhow, because when you tax something, you get less of it.

We are a free society, but there is a responsibility that comes with being a citizen of the United States of America, and it is clear the a large segment of our society is disengaged from the political process, which allows those in the arena of governance to expand control over the ill-informed.

Those of us who are informed are outnumbered by those who are not adequately educated in the process, and now by those who are receiving governmental assistance.  Many of these individuals and families are not in real need, just taking advantage of the system, which makes it more difficult to provide assistance to those who are in real need of help, a worthwhile endeavor.

Some skin in the game seems required.  To restrict voting to only those who own property seems limiting, and too radical as a criteria.  A testing system Hassleback queried about appears easily infiltrated by those with unsavory objectives. 

Perhaps the best qualifying mechanism would require that you are either a full time student, a senior citizen receiving social security having already paid into the system, sane individuals documented with legitimate handicaps, a member of the military or an individual who is employed and pays income taxes.  Individuals who fail to meet that criteria and receive governmental assistance would be ineligible. That would limit those voting to those who have skin in the game.

In addition, you must have an ID to vote.  This requirement is not racist, degrading, unfair or political in nature.  Adequate identification is required for many things, driving a vehicle of particular note, and would go a long way in the elimination of voter fraud.  One man, one vote.

Voting is perhaps the most important role of the citizen, and protection of the integrity of the process is integral to the efficiency of the process.

I say everyone ante up. What say you?

Nelson Lost in Space

The country is on fire in the aftermath of the current administration embarking on a spending spree to activate social justice, in turn strangling future generations with debt, a fiscal plan that now has Europe in ruins. Unemployment is at post WWII record levels, economic growth is anemic at best and among other meaningful items, there is civil disobedience taking place throughout the US.

One would think it reasonable for our elected representatives to be hard at work in an effort to get Uncle Sam back to strength, helping to get unemployed Americans back to work.

Unfortunately, so little is being done on the Democratic side you might conclude that they are satisfied with the current state of affairs. Not only are our Democratic leaders failing miserably to generate ideas to grow the economy, they are active in efforts to continue the destruction of the capitalist system, by using anything and everything to remain in power. Intentional? You are familiar with the Cloward and Piven strategy are you not?

Here in Florida, US Senator Bill Nelson, (D:FL), has put in long hours to convince Senator Dick Durbin (D:IL) to open an investigative panel on new voting laws passed by Florida. Nelson and Durbin are in agreement that the new laws "will disenfranchise a wide swath of Florida's young, minority, senior, disabled, rural and lo-income voters". Translation; Democrat voters.

Durbin, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, thinks he should interject his wisdom on how us Floridians go about voting and plans to hold hearings to take a "closer" look at the new voting laws. Even the ACLU is ready to jump in.

Durbin should mind his own business; however, if he were to get involved in voter issues, he may want to call Attorney General Eric Holder and ask him about the thugs in Philadelphia.

Both Durbin and Nelson should be spending their time getting this country back to work, not trying to advance the Obama agenda by protecting fellow Democrats and their politically correct minority districts.

Floridians voted these Amendments into law at the ballot box, which were designed to place strict limits on how legislative and congressional districts can be drawn. Across the nation, and particularly here in Florida, the outlines for districts are gerrymandered and are a mess.

Congresswoman Corrine Brown, (D:FL), was on a mission to stop passage of these Amendments: “I want to make sure that minorities have an opportunity to elect someone of their choice,” she said. “Based on the way the initiative is written, you cannot do that.” Brown's district is first on the list of those that need to be re-drawn, as her district is mostly minority numbered reaching from Jacksonville to Orlando. As I see it, Brown should worried about all Floridians having proper access to casting a ballot, not just minorities. This would presume there is a problem, and there is not.

Here in Orlando, minority clout is at issue in redrawing the Orange County map, which may spur lawsuits. "If they don't have a Latino-majority district, we will absolutely look to go to court,"said Diana Sen, a senior attorney with Latino Justice, a legal advocacy group. "And it doesn't look good."

Not to worry. In a Congressional redistricting proposal, The Orlando Sentinel reports the Florida Senate released a new map which is believed to increase the number of Hispanic lawmakers. Demands for stronger minority representation seems to be favored over natural borders in adherence to political correctness.

These districts need to be redrawn using common sense barriers such as major roads, county lines and section, township and ranges. There should be no consideration given to providing minority groups special boundaries to enhance their voting clout. They are Americans, and Floridians, just like I am, and non of us should be discriminated against.

I have no problem finding my voting precinct or carving out time to get down there and vote. It is not difficult for anyone with the desire. Providing proper identification and a shortened time frame may derail efforts to commit voter fraud, but here in Central Florida local government goes to great lengths to ease the process.

Our country is in great peril, with a level of steady unemployment not seen since the Great Depression. Closer to home here in Central Florida, Obama has destroyed the space program, and on that issue alone, Sen. Nelson, who once flew on the Shuttle, should have parted company with Obama. No such luck. Nelson is obviously worried about other non relevant items, among them standing behind our teleprompter in chief as he transforms our exceptional nation from being the beacon of freedom around the world.

With Sen. Nelson so vitally concerned about the opportunities of us Floridians to get to the ballot box unimpeded, he should know many of us take great pleasure in voting. Certainly, I view it as a responsibility and will be the first person at my precinct on November 2012 when the front door opens at 7AM. After voting against Obama, my next vote is for Connie Mack against Nelson, whose tenure as a representative of Florida should go down with the sunset over Paynes Prairie.

$26 Billion Fraud

We have an emergency! With many states, who criminally spent exponentially beyond their annual budgetary moving average, if they even have one (Uncle Sam does not), now need major bailouts and with the school year about to begin, thousands of teachers need to be paid. Quick, please help!

Enter House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who should be relieved of her speakership the first Tuesday in November, to save the day by calling the House back from summer recess. Oh thank heaven, not for 7-11, but for a $26 billion aid package which was passed yesterday to ease the pain of the states and keep those teachers employed.

Well, not so fast my friend! Enter Rep. Michele Bachmann (R:MN) to hit us with some common sense on the subject:



The problems with this aid bill are plentiful. First, half of the stimulus remains unspent (and passage of that was a hair on fire emergency). States, meanwhile, are in immediate need of some extensive belt tightening, and Governor Chris Christie (R) of New Jersey has a playbook to offer.

And if I hear one more time about the firemen and teachers, who without further stimulus (bailouts), massive layoffs among them will cause significant civil decay, I may blow a gasket. Would the possibility of reducing bloated staff elsewhere in localities be possible? Why always the teachers, police and fireman?

It is not about them. It is about power, and the theft of taxpayer money to support the unions who represent these folks. Don't argue with me, just listen to the retirement of the outgoing General Council of the National Educators Association.



I am at a loss for words to describe the idiots clapping. But Mr. Chanin is right. It is not about the children for the NEA, it is about their power.

I am all for the advancing the education of our greatest asset, our children. However, I am beyond tired of these bureaucrats stealing my tax dollars for the benefit of union executives and members, and the funneling of cash to Democratic campaigns across the land.

Racial Disturbance Used as Political Pawn

With the overreaching and thugocratic Obama administration going down in flames, there is nothing left for them to do but race over to their base and start a high octane fire. It has begun, and reaching a new level of evil, the excellerant is to toss out a straw man regarding race relations.

Recall back to the voter intimidation that took place on election day in Philadelphia. Roll the tape:



Unless you are blind as a billiby goat, it cannot be any clearer that this is voter intimidation by members of The New Black Panther Party, which is illegal as all get out. It should be illegal and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as the right of our citizenry to cast a ballot free from external influence is central to the foundation of our republic.

Prior to President Obama taking office, the Department of Justice under President George W. Bush, initiated a case against the two folks in the video. Astonishingly, after winning the case, the DOJ under Obama Attorney General Eric Holder failed to pursue the case with any vigor and now has essentially dropped the charges.

In an explosive interview with FOX News Megyn Kelly, former DOJ employee J. Christian Adams, now claims a racial component is behind a decision to all but drop the charges and that there is a new, troubling policy at the DOJ under Obama and Holder.



Holder, who is by the far the most radical AG in our countries history in my opinion, essentially let these two racists of the hook. Racists, you ask? More video:



And come to find out, this was an orchestrated event and the organizers have obviously gotten the wink wink from The White House that this behavior is acceptable. In addition, they find it funny.



The New Black Panther Party seems to closely resembles a black version of The Klu Klux Klan. Both groups are a bunch of ignorant idiots that preach hate and advocate violence. I am vehemently opposed to both of them.

Although the DOJ is quite busy, suing states, antagonizing police forces and spending every waking hour working on the Gulf Course, you would think they would certainly want penalize activists blatantly exhibiting in voter intimidation would you not? You would be wrong. But why? Is President Obama associated with this group? Did I have to ask that? Glenn Beck was wondering as well:





If did not know better, I would come to the conclusion the administration is creating chaos in race relations in an effort to further gain their progressive political footing. Certainly, outside of the lunatic fringe, members of both parties would be strongly opposed to such policy. That just cannot be happening, can it?

Oh no, just when you think it was a grand illusion, Megyn Kelly got hold of Democratic political strategist Kirsten Powers. This is not pretty. Megyn is, but the interview is not, for Ms. Powers.



I have long concluded the administration is a bunch of thugs, and from the taking over of private companies to forcing health insurance down the throat of the public, the evidence supporting that position is extensive.

If however, the administration is attempting to create chaos in the form of disturbing racial harmony for political gain, it is nothing short of evil and the prompt removal of this President from office should be engaged.

If true, Martin Luther King, who preached about racial equality stressing non violence, would be ashamed. To think the change King fought and died for is now being used as a political pawn is most disturbing. God help us!

Obama Skirting the Truth: ACORN

In repeated efforts to distance himself from the radical left wing organization ACORN, who at present is being investigated in a dozen states for committing voter fraud, Barack Obama maintains his stance that he was only involved with them at a minimal level over a decade ago.

ACORN is a left wing radical activist group of community activists, which aside from the pending issues with respect to voter fraud, is a major player in the housing crisis we find ourselves involved in at present. Barack Obama represented ACORN as an attorney threatening legal action against banks who, in the mind of ACORN, perhaps were racist in denying loans to potential home buyers who could not otherwise qualify. Shakedown anyone?

Is Obama not heavily influenced by this unethical, fraudulent and criminal organization? I say so, and here is some video for your review:



Seems like if Obama is elected, ACORN will be helping shape policy, which cannot be good. Please see Capm's Blog for further information on this troubling subject.
