What do you want John Boehner to do? It’s impossible to negotiate with a brick wall. It’s impossible to compromise with the intransigent. It is good ole Barry who won’t compromise and who won’t lead. He was elected and re-elected to lead. Leadership means the willingness to compromise. Without compromise, we have a dictatorship. Perhaps a dictatorship is what Barry wants. Next he will be pushing his daughters to succeed him. Then we will have a perpetual dictatorship and the divine right of kings. John Boehner and a few newly elected republican congressman in the House of Representaitves are all that is standing in his way to achieve the conversion of this democracy into a dictatorship. If that is what our dictator wants, then let him take us over the fiscal cliff. At that point, he will own it. As far as the fiscal cliff is concerned, it is really only a figment of the imagination of a liberal Media, and it has just about as much basis in fact as the garbage that has been circulated concerning the Mayan calender and catastrophic doom on this the shortest and most beautiful day of 2012. What we really need in this country is a new Media dedicated to truth, Christian values, and democratic principles where the vanguished and the minority are, at least, listened to and given a “wee small voice” in our government. At least, Hillary is out, and John Kerry is in for a change of scenery if not an improvement.

I imagine it must be pretty hot where ever Errol lives – he seems pretty comfortable in his flip flops.

What is it then? A cliff, whether real or imaginative, involves a fall over a precipice. A fiscal cliff is not a precipice. It’s a budget shortfall. Thanks to Prince Harry, we haven’t had a budget in four years. I believe that the Constitution says clearly that the President must propose a budget, and the Congress must approve a budget each and every year. How can Prince Harry get by with blocking budget after budget without even bringing any up for a vote. This is clearly an impeachable offence. The fiscal cliff does not involve a fall. Our nation’s trillion (and climbing) debt means that it is pay-up time. We have lived a life of ease for too long. It is time to either pay up and maintain our independence and freedom as a great nation or to shut up and fall in line in a march towards slavery whether it is to the Chinese or to any other holder of our indebtedness.

As far as flip flops are concerned, I hate flip flops. I do not wear flip flops. Flip Flops are a symbol of an over indulgent and selfish generation that has ran up our indebtedness in the first place to an extent that even the third generation removed cannot repay. John Kerry is known as the flip flopper, He loves flip flops. He is a part of the selfish and overindulgent generation that produced the debt and that is refusing to do anything about it.

Right! A trillion dollars is not going to make much difference in the grand scheme of things after we reach the point that a trillion dollars will not even buy a loaf of bread at the grocery store. We are a little far from that point right now, but we are getting there a little to fast for comfort. A few more years of Barry in the White House and Prince Harry in the Senate blocking all budgets and spending and taxing legislation will put us there very quickly. The thing that disturbs me most of all about this President is that he absolutely will not compromise with the new majority in the House of Representatives that “We the People” elected to office on the promise that they would keep our taxes low and government spending down, so that the non-existent budget that Prince Harry keeps blocking will balance. Neither is a super fast computer, a slide rule, or a fancy Japanese abacus is needed to keep track of our zillion dallar indebtedness. We only need to pay it. Then, and only then, can our nation begin to become “all things to all people” once again and again achieve the achievements of The Greatest Generation in both love and war.

As far as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are concerned, these are merely just other government taxes which our dear representatives in Washington past because we would not let them pass any taxes that were more directly pertinent and directed to the needs at hand. The money collected for these never went into a special, secure trust fund for yours and my declining years. It only went into the government treasury as do all taxes for our representatives to spend. If we don’t like the way they are spending it, then we must vote them out of office. You hear of talk in the Media about entitlements, but the only entitlements possible are two: to be born and to die. If one is to die without starving, then one must work, work, and work.

What in the world has happened to America and the American Dream that involved hard work, self reliance, and the pioneer spirit. Sure I’m dreaming. That’s what my Dad (a member of the Greatest Generation did, and his Dad, and many Dad’s before him. Dreams do not come from the government. Government only provides the peace, security, and the economic conditions to make those dreams possible. I still have a dream of building a “big house” in Coal Fire as my Dad did, but not one financed by the government or the tax payer. I only want to keep a little of my taxes so I can build it. Henry Ford had a dream too. He built the greatest motor car company in the world, which became so successful it was able to spurn federal baleouts. Bill Gates, a lowly but smart programmer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, had a dream too. He built the largest and the wealthist software company in the world that has totally changed society in ways that we do not even realize yet. Dreams are essential, and they don’t come from the government. In fact, government is the greatest “killer of dreams” in the world. There were no dreams at General Motors. That company tried to take over the motor car industry (and almost did) and ended up becoming “government motors”, which was their intention all along. You can have your big government. I’ll keep my dreams. Just give me the opportunity to bring my dreams to fruition without the interference of big government.

So, I am a “flip flopper” Move over John Kerry. Make room for me. It’s better to be a “flip flopper” with dreams than to be a government bureaucrat without them. That is the way that I differ from John Kerry.

No one in this blog has ever said anything about the Prince of England. The Prince of England is okay. It is only Prince Harry of the U. S. Senate that I am concerned about and who increasingly is deserving of impeachment for the obstruction of the work of the People’s House of Representatives where the U. S. Constitution clearly says that all taxing legislation is to be initiated. We still haven’t seen a national budget in over four years. Prince Harry is the cause.

Please Jerry! Have you ever heard of Senator Harry Reid, the senior senator from Nevada and the majority leader of the Senate? He is not a Prince, but he thinks he is, maybe, perhaps even a king. The fact is that he fiils an electable position, and he deserves to be impeached for willfully obstructing the business of the Congress of the United States by disabling the House of Representatives by acting as a roadblock for all revenue legislation which that body has passed in the last four years, including four national budgets.

I’m very sorry, Jerry, if the descriptive terms which I used to apply to Senator Reid offended you. The term was not meant in a disrespectful manner, but it was only meant as a term of description. Prince Harry of England, son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, is an internationally known personage. I used his given name and title only as a term of description to reference the Senator from Nevada. The use of the term in this way is no different than the use of “buck stopper” to reference President Harry Truman or the use of the term “cowboy” to reference President Ronald Reagan or the use of the term “criminal” to reference President Richard M. Nixon. It is not even any different than the use of the term “African American” to refer to President Barack Obama, when he is obviously neither fully African in heritage and perhaps not even American, since he spent his formative years in Indonesia. Most certainly, he is half white and half Anglo-Saxon with very little contact with Africa except through a father whom he barely knew. All these terms have been commonly used in the liberal press to reference these presidents. They are meant as terms of description only. No one has ever meant them to refer to titles of respect. Your lecture concerning the use of titles of respect is well taken, however. I will certainly be more careful in the future. Thanks for the reminder.
