Vilani's blog

This past week in June, I have watched as our country has been assaulted with blatant forms of liberalism.

We are down to two liberals vying for the Presidency of the United States, Barack Obama and John McCain, Liberal and Liberal-Light, respectively.

Both Obama and McCain favor closing the base at Guantanamo Bay, granting amnesty to millions of criminals (Illegal Immigrants) and forcing the Hoax of Global Warming (now called "Climate Change") on rather unsuspecting law-abiding Americans.

They also believe, despite accurate financial proof, that the oil companies are gouging the American people in order to make off with billions in profits from oil sales.

McCain's solution to this perceived problem is still unclear while Obama's plan is to reinstate the "Windfall Profit Tax".

The words "Windfall Profit" as defined is "profit that occurs unexpectedly as a consequence of some event not controlled by those who profit from it".

What people do not realize is that both the US Government *and* the oil companies at large both profited from the skyrocketing price of oil. So, how is it that the Government would feel that it would be permissible to tax the oil companies on their profits when 15% of the price per gallon of fuel at any gas station goes to the Government?

The US Govenment does not explore for, drill and extract, refine or ship oil, fuel or any other petroleum products. They tax these activities though and tax them well.

It is said that the oil companies enjoy large tax breaks, this may be true but what is the level of the tax they are paying and what would the price per gallon at the pump be if they were paying more in taxes?

Any company doing business anywhere are only in the business for one thing, *Profit*. Companies are here to make money for themselves and their shareholders, not for charity, that is what the Government is for.

As I wrote in one of my previous posts, If you tax too much, people will buy less. If people don't buy enough product, the company making that particular product will either have to scale back their operations or raise prices, in either case, it is not profitable for the business and it certainly isn't good for the average consumer.

Raising taxes never has done one thing good for anyone but the Government, it hurts businesses and it damages the economy.

The issue of Guantanamo Bay.

Just the other day, 5 of the 9 US Supreme Court Justices decided to ignore our Constitution and Article 4, sec 2 subsec's a,b,c and d of the Geneva Convention

None of these men are covered under the Convention as Prisoners of War, yet the Supreme Court decided that whatever these men did, their actions warranted Constitutional protection, the same Constitutional protection that our men and women in uniform have died trying to protect.

The mastermind of the the 9/11 attacks is one of these men. This man who coordinated the deaths of over 3000 Americans in a little less than 2 hours may now file a grievance with a federal judge for release.

I feel that the lifetime appointment of a judge is something that needs to be reviewed and possibly changed. It is abhorrant that a person of this stature would make such a grievous error in the reading of the very document they are sworn to protect.

The last issue of this is "Climate Change". I have wrote on this more but in the last few days, I have learned something that chilled me straight through to the bone.

As you might know, most of our most liberal ideas come from the Old Country, Europe. I have learned that in the UK, there is a bill making its way through Parliament that addresses Climate Change in a way that makes American Liberals green with envy.

You can read the full text of this by this link:

In a nut-shell, the Government controls what and how much you buy and penalizes you for overusing your "alloted" share of "carbon". There is talk of issuing citizens "Carbon Debit Cards", these cards would be pre-loaded with your monthly allotment. If you use all of your credits before the end of the month, you would be forced to buy credits from the Government or from someone who hasn't used their total monthly allotment. There would be a cap on the total credits that the country would be able to use.

This is paramount to what is said in Revelation about the mark of the Beast, that no one may buy or sell without the mark, which is the number or name of the beast, 666, or some derivative thereof.

The Hoax of Climate Change is detrimental to the progress of mankind, the willingness to subjugate the free-will of man for the preservation of mother earth.

I have no problem with conservation, just conservation through excessive taxation.

Like the title of my blog says, we are on a very dangerous and slippery slope, will we be able to see the errors of our ways before it is too late or will we have to have yet another "Shot heard 'round the world"?

There is a battle raging in our country and it is not being fought by politicians.

It is being fought by us, the people.

I hear day in and day out, people lamenting on the direction America is headed and I hear complaint after complaint about the "crooked politicians" that are in Washington.

How did they get there? Are they unlike us? What would we do if we were there?

Questions, questions and more questions.

We, the people, elected them, sad but true.

Democrat, Republican, Conservative and Liberal. Most hear these terms but are still not quite sure what they mean.

The liberal left has changed the name of the Democrat Party to the "Democratic" party, hoping to soften their image up some by invoking some lofty idea that the Democrat Party is actually fighting for the "little man".

I have a bit of news for my fellow Americans, We do not live in a democracy, we live in a "Republic". If we lived in a democracy,no one would do any of the work, pay taxes or get free healthcare because the masses would prefer to live under the thumb of an opressive ruler rather than take responsibility of their own direction.

In a republic, we elect a representative to "represent" us in Washington. After all of the corruption, loan sharking and other back door deals that all of our fine elected "representatives" have been party to, we still have this insane notion that theyare actually doing what they said they would do if elected.

It was once said "Power corrupts, Absolute power corrupts absolutely", truth does hurt.

The monikers "Democrat" and "Republican" explained in short...

Democrat = The supposed will of the people.

Republican = The preservation of the ideology of the Founding Fathers.

The monikers "Conservatism" and "Liberalism" explained in short...

Liberalism = Anything goes, the suppression of theological ideology and the suppression of free speech.

Conservatism = The strict conservation of the most basic tenets of the Constitution and the acknowledgement of GOD as the CREATOR as our Founding Fathers did.

Liberals believe that there are grey lines everywhere and that everyone is a potential victim.
Liberals believe in Abortion, Gay Marriage and the Hoax that is Global Warming (now called Climate Change). They also believe that government is the best solution to any problem.

Our "Democrat Presidential Candidate" BHO, would like to pull out of the War in Iraq immediately, leaving millions of Iraqis to die needlessly in the bloodbath to follow our departure(not unlike the Killing Fields of Cambodia).

He will talk to known terrorist leaders of Communist and Socialist countries without pre-conditions. He will attempt to reverse the many tax cuts that Bush instituted in his first year as President.

He will also attempt to institute some sort of nationalized healthcare system. Ask a vet at the VA how well socialized healthcare works for them.

The basic fundamentals of Liberalism is a direct attack on the progress of mankind.

Conservatism, I think, is quite misunderstood.

People view Conservatism with the understanding that it is the support of the status quo. That couldn't be further from the truth.

The basic fundamentals of the modern Conservative movement is the upholding of the Constitution and the basic freedoms that it affords us.

Freedoms of religion, speech and the right to bear arms are all coveted freedoms. Without these rights, we would not be the country we are today.

We have spawned an entire generation that believe that America is the root cause of all the evil in the world today.

I would not know where to begin to describe what the world would be like without us.

I will begin this with an analogy. You have the Blind Shepherd, The Wolf and the Wolf in Sheep Clothing.

The Blind Shepherd leads the masses over the steep precipice speaking words like Hope and Change. He has oratory skills that many envy but his words are hollow and meaningless. He wants to talk to people who won’t listen and those who would like to kill us or destroy our way of life. He also would like the United States to pay (to parties unknown) a huge tax that offsets our Global Warming impact.

The Wolf is the sly one. She has many friends and twice as many enemies. She wants to take the profits of companies and put those funds into a government controlled agency that would supposedly seek out new forms of energy. She wants to create a national retirement fund seeded with monies brought in from raised taxes. She also wants to create a government controlled bureaucracy that regulates people’s healthcare, how much it costs and who does it.

The Wolf in Sheep Clothing is the one we really need to watch. This one favors amnesty, global warming, and stepping over the aisle to support other liberal ideas. He calls himself a Conservative but isn’t.

Have you watched the battles on the news enough to know who is who?

You have to realize what these people stand for. How would you like to be in a business for profit and have the government step in and tell you how much you should charge for your services or who you can serve. Would you like that same government to tax you out of business or to *take* your profits? How would you feel if you went to college for all those years and then the government will tell you that you can’t charge what you think your time or efforts are worth?

Conservatism is the idea of smaller government, lower taxes and the security of our nation. The pursuit of happiness and the right to free speech. The Democommunists want to bring back the “Fairness Doctrine” which is the rule that in order for radio or television to support one side, they are forced to give the opposite views equal time. This equals the government telling radio and television what they can and can’t air. This is different than vulgarity or indecency. The free exchange of ideas part of the Constitution is not a rule that the government can force a private business to do something that might even be in direct conflict of their own beliefs.

The Democommunists believe that Mankind is DIRECTLY at fault for global warming. I wonder if they have given any thought to the sun, more sunspots = more heat, less sunspots = less heat.

The Democommunists believe that the United States is the cause of all genocide and killing all over the planet. They also believe that we are RAPING the world of all its precious resources, leaving none for the next generation.

I am one that believes that we are, in fact, living in the last days. I’m having a real difficulty in believing that we puny humans can destroy something that GOD created. We think so highly of ourselves that we seem to have forgotten who is really in charge.

Vanity is our downfall. We have strayed far from the path. Our country was founded by White, Landowning Slaveholders and we have the audacity to claim superiority.

We have a responsibility to uphold the Constitution. If we don’t do that, I’m certain the lovely Islamofascists would enjoy our amber waves of grain.

Study your options and be informed, don’t fall victim to the empty platitudes of change and hope. Don’t be fooled by a person who calls himself one thing and is actually another. Be wary of anyone who says they would like to take the profits of a private business and use it for the greater good. Any government who uses the “for the greater good” line, you should immediately see what the fight for the greater good gets the people in China, Venezuela, Cuba or any of the other Communistic/Socialist countries.

Capitalism is what drives our country. It drives our economy. It drives everything. If you aren’t able to enjoy the fruits of your labor, why would you want to sweat for anything?

If you tax the companies, they will raise prices to maintain their bottom line. Prices go up, people will buy less. People buy less, companies have to downgrade their operations which in turn, run the risk of layoffs and worse, the company could go out of business. If that happens, then the city the company was located in will lose the tax income that the company was paying them.

Do you see the line? Lower taxes, lower government spending is how you drive the economy. Not raising taxes. Why do you think companies are flooding out of our country and going to places like China? It’s cheaper to operate there.

If you still don’t see what is happening, then you are perfect fodder for the Democommunists.

Think about what you see and hear.

One of the most defining pictures of Oil was the Spindletop gusher in

Beaumont, Texas in 1901, since then it has been a war to control

supply all over the world.

Oil drives everything in our society, not one thing is untouched by

oil. Ever think about plastic? How about rubber?

Vaseline? I know, who uses that anymore now that we have KY, but

you get the point eh?

Soaring oil prices drive up everything and now we are taking

precious farmland to grow corn for ethanol and not for food. All food

prices will go up because of this and ethanol actually takes more

energy to make than the benefits it would give out.

Oil is the main driving force of the world economy.

I was watching a special on the Clinton News Network, about a

fantasized oil shortage by terrorism attacks in Saudi Arabia. It's

simply amazing that people are so hypnotized by the possibility

of an oil shortage. It's somewhat akin to people running around

like chickens with their heads cut off.

Human civilization has existed for thousands of years without oil,

what makes these people think life will end without it?

Human civilization will change, but it will not be eliminated.

Besides, humanity needs a little jolt anyway. We have so much

knowledge and so little desire to use it. Nuclear power is certainly

one answer but the incident at Three Mile Island still have people

scared.

The future takes risks, just like you getting into your car to drive

to work. Anything can happen, just take the risk.

As President Lincoln once said, 'You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all the time but you can never fool all of the people all of the time'.

The art of politics is the ability to say one thing and mean another. There has never been an honest politician. If anyone ever needs proof of this, just take Lincoln for example. When Lincoln was elected, nothing in his rhetoric said anything about emancipation yet this has been taught in schools that he was the Great Emancipator.

I believe that the emancipation was one of the worst things that could ever have happened to black people in the United States. Imagine being freed from the chains of bondage, only to have to wait another 100 years to have the US Congress have to pass something like the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Lincoln forcing the southern states to end slavery is akin to what our government is doing today, usurping the rights and powers of the states to make decisions on what is best for their own people.

Don't take these words to mean that I support slavery, but slavery, like communism has its shelf life of working. Communism in Russia only lasted 80 years and it collapsed. What has grown in its place is a hybrid of socialism and capitalism, much like the direction our own country is making these days.

Race is a very sensitive subject, speak on it one way or the other and you will immediately be branded a racist by one race or the other.

You've got the entire drama of Obama/Wright and Clinton and her "First Black President" husband, Bill. Neither one of these duos have their act together. Wright wants to make it about race and Obama wants to turn our country into a socialist wasteland that is subjugated to the whims of creatures like Ahmedinijad (sp?) and Chavez. Clinton would love to take profits of companies and put them into a fund to research alternative forms of energy.

If Clinton wins the primaries by a slim lead, Obama and the blacks will believe that the nomination was stolen, If Obama wins the nomination, Clinton will do everything in her power to wrest the nomination away from him, either way, this will be a most interesting thing to watch on TV.

There is actually a group called "Recreate '68", which will probably turn Denver into a wasteland through riots and what-not.

Anyone who says this election isn't about race has their head screwed firmly up "where the sun doesn't shine". The first viable white woman and the first viable black man, both with an equal chance at taking the nomination. If you look closely at the numbers, there isn't a clear choice. In the Democrat party, (even without OpChaos in action) there isn't a clear choice. People are either voting against one or for the other. Women voting for Clinton and blacks and impressionable young people voting for Obama.

Obama talks and talks about Hope and Change, it's nice to hope but what exactly is he hoping to change? The President of the United States is largely a figurehead, without the power of the Congress behind him or her, the President can't and won't be able to do a damned thing, sad but true.

I think Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has more power than the President does, people actually respect her. If the President does not have the respect of the people or the Congress, he won't have the power to get anything accomplished.

It's fine if you get elected through race relations or treachery but if your party doesn't control Congress, you're what they call a "lame duck", certainly an apropos name for either of our Democrat candidates, don't you think?
