We Noticed

Just prior to the elections, Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was lamenting that in her view, "Democrats haven't necessarily gotten the credit they're due for the work they've done the last two years." In other words, the American people haven't paid enough attention to us, especially for how hard we have worked!

It appears, however, that America was paying attention to what Nancy Pelosi was working on so hard, and by extension, the Democrat Party in general. We hadn't forgotten about Nancy's pledge to "drain the swamp" of corruption and run the most ethical House of Representatives in all history.

We hadn't forgotten about about Nancy's pledge of "pay as you go, no new deficit spending" and "not burden them with mountains of debt."

We hadn't forgotten about all the hard work that goes into producing several thousand page legislative bills that require "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."

These are just three quick things that come to mind from over the last two years.

No, we hadn't forgotten how hard Nancy Pelosi and her gang worked to keep their word to us. We noticed. It's just too bad they didn't try harder, things might have been different today.

The American people might be gracious, but don't take us for stupid when we go to the polls.

Worth less than a free lunch?

Corrine Brown offers free meals for early voters.

There has been this trend going around in this election cycle of giving away free meals to voters. Might I add, to my knowledge, it's only been the Democrats doing this. The latest is Corrine Brown. So why do these incumbent Democrats feel the need to give away a free lunch to get their constituents to come vote?

The answer is simple. All of what they have accomplished up to this point isn't worth their own constituents time to come and bail them out. Think about it. If they would have accomplished something worth while, people would flock to re-elect them - but apparently that's not the case. So, the best they can muster is free lunch, which eventually will end up in the toilet. There is just nothing quite like incriminating yourself with your own actions.

The Commander of Fiscal-Insanity: Letting Washington Run Wild Again

Weekly Address: Letting Wall Street Run Wild Again

This past Saturday, the President delivered his Weekly Address to the nation. He entitled it "Letting Wall Street Run Wild Again." It was the typical "I am so great, the Republicans are so toxic" pontification that we have come to expect from the President.

Here is the a summary of the Weekly Address as stated on the White House website.

WASHINGTON – In this week’s address, President Obama called out the Republican leadership in Congress for vowing to repeal Wall Street reform, which will protect Americans from unfair practices in mortgage transactions and foreclosures. The Wall Street reform law also set new rules so that taxpayers will never again be on the hook for a bailout if a big financial company goes under, helps rein in the secret deals and reckless gambling that nearly brought the financial system down, and set up the strongest consumer protections in history. The special interests fought hard against reform, spending millions to preserve a system that worked better for them than for middle class families. And now, the GOP leadership is calling for repealing this law and that would take the country backwards.

After I read the transcript of the speech and watched the video, I couldn't help but grow even more disgusted at Washington hypocrisy. Essentially the President is making a big deal out of having swept the garage floor while the house is burning down!

How so?

Give me a break of that Kit-Kat bar!

The other day I was standing in line at the grocery store waiting to pay for my groceries. The gal in front of me, grossly overweight, was having her groceries tallied up, and I noticed that she paid for her groceries with two separate transactions. The first transaction was paid for with food stamps. This transaction seemed to buy the "healthier" items. The second transaction was made with cash and appeared to buy junk food. Now, do I need a degree in "stupid-ology" to figure out what's wrong with this picture?

Taxes, Taxes, and more Taxes

The White House Whiteboard

Putting aside the PMS of politics on this issue, let's ask ourselves a question. How would we feel if the government selectively targeted certain people and required them to pay more taxes than others...and you and I were part of that crowd? Would you feel it is right that you were singled out by the government and forced to pay more taxes than your neighbor, though you and your neighbor are equally American citizens? O, so it is OK that your neighbor has to pay more than you, but not OK if you have to pay more than your neighbor? In any other area of life, we would call this "racism" and hate. I haven't said anything about income levels yet, but since you're thinking that, what does income have to do with being more or less of an American citizen?

First of all, welcome to Politicritique. My name is Matthew, and I am the founder of this blog. I am a young conservative American in my early thirties, with a small family, enjoying my American Dream. Eleven years ago, I co-founded a small business and watched it become very successful. I know what it is like to start with nothing, work hard, and be rewarded with the fruits of my labor. To say the least, and without apology, I am 110% Capitalist, and I am enthralled with my individual liberty. I don't care what Michael Moore says. (I don't think a lot of people care either.)

Now until the second Bush administration, I was disinterested in politics (sorry, but I am not a big fan of some Bush policies - Mr. Fiscal-Stupidity). I had trusted our politicians to do their jobs, with the same meticulous excellence, I myself put into my business. I had thought our politicians were working for the American People, like I was working for my customers. I had thought when our politicians placed their hands on the Bible, swore an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution, they would keep their word and perform their duties with integrity. I had thought that our politicians, understanding they represent us the people (our form of Democracy is a Republic), would conform their will to ours. Call me naive, but unfortunately, the hard and disgusting reality is that what I thought, and maybe what used to be, has experienced “Change.” What irony, that in some perverted and twisted sense, politicians are keeping their word and giving us what they said they would, “Change.”

Well, this “Change” has certainly changed me. All across America a “sleeping giant” is arousing itself. There is an awakening happening on front porches, factory floors, at kitchen tables, and on the steps of church houses. This “Change” has been liberating in many ways, and it has certainly aroused a sense of patriotic duty and boldness that has long been neglected by we the people. It has given the electorate a sense of ownership in shaping our future. It has created a fervor and excitement for the real American spirit, what our founding fathers saw, and embodied in our nation’s most sacred documents. Yes, this “Change” has brought with it change. Evil will have a harder time triumphing, because there are a lot of good people, who were asleep at the wheel, now starting to do something. I am one of them.

How about you? What are you doing? Have you fallen into the snare of depression and fear that the “Change We Can All Hope In” has brought? Have you found the “Audacity” to rise above the media, the ACORN wing-nuts, and the illogical pontificating of many of our politicians? Don’t forget, America has come through some dark times in the past, so let’s repeat that part of our history. America, roll up your sleeves and get involved; let’s help this giant flex it’s muscle!

Here at Politicritique, we are proud to be American. We are proud to speak English. We are proud of our Citizenship. Liberty is not made in China. Liberty is not defended with the blood of illegal aliens. Liberty does not bow in the presence of world dictators. Liberty does not apologize to the world for her freedom and prosperity.

Liberty is not cheap, she never goes on sale, and she cannot be purchased with food stamps, jobless benefits, and bailouts. Liberty’s currency is blood, the blood of patriots, and patriots are not ashamed or afraid of her cost. If Liberty was free for the taking, every nation would have her, and freedom would be a commodity. But freedom is expensive, and Liberty is discriminating. Those not willing to pay Liberty’s price will remain shackled with the chains of tyranny, socialism, and slavery. You cannot forever spit on Liberty, burn her flag, run from her demands, apologize for her greatness, and steal from her treasures - in time, she will leave.

Liberty is precious, as precious as her soldiers draped in the colors of her flag; as precious as grief laden tears that flow from loved ones and friends left behind; as precious as an old photograph, worn around the edges, that brings back the memories of those that had the courage to pay Liberty’s price. Yes, we are proud to be American. We are proud of the Red, White, and Blue. We are proud to pledge our allegiance to the flag. We are proud to cross our hearts and take our hats off when Liberty’s anthem is played. We are proud to be one nation under God. We are proud to stand and not bow. We are proud and will not apologize. Liberty, to any patriot, is just too precious to be dishonored and forgotten.

In the eyes of a patriot, soldiers that come home having paid Liberty’s price, whether physical, mental, or emotional; they are not suspected as terrorists. To the patriot, politicians that bow, and apologize to the world for Liberty’s freedom and prosperity, are traitors to Liberty and her price paid; that price represented at Arlington National Cemetery, by every soldier’s grave that honors our soil, and of all those who never came home. To the patriot, the same crowds that ran from Liberty’s demands, yet in the name of Liberty’s freedom, demonstrate and burn her colors; they are abhorrent, dishonorable, and despicable.

Yes, we are proud to be American. We are proud to speak English. We are proud of our Citizenship. We will not forget the soldiers that bought our freedom. We will not trample on their sacrifice with apologies. We will not dishonor their bravery and courage by bowing. We are proud to be American. We are Americans.
