Waive State's Rights to Create Jobs

So in order to create jobs, we have to take State's Rights away?

(a) Abrogation of State Immunity- A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution from a suit brought in a Federal court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of this Act.
(b) Waiver of State Immunity-
(1) IN GENERAL-
(A) WAIVER- A State's receipt or use of Federal financial assistance for any program or activity of a State shall constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity, under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution or otherwise, to a suit brought by an employee or applicant for employment of that program or activity under this Act for a remedy authorized under Section 375(c) of this Act.

I wonder why it takes the waiving of State's Rights to create jobs - or is there something sinister at play here? Na - couldn't be...this must be an innocent progressive clerical error.

Is the President sending American jobs overseas?

Certainly the events of the Deepwater Horizon explosion, which resulted in the loss of life and oil spilling into the Gulf waters, was a tragic accident. (By the way, as a side note, why did we see and hear more news on the birds and turtles suffering from the oil slick than we did on the families that lost loved ones and livelihoods?) Of course, this accident most likely would not have happened had the many layers of government regulators been doing their jobs. Additionally tragic, is the loss of jobs and economic activity due to the outrageous ban on oil production in the Gulf. (There is nothing quite like making private industry pay for the Government's ineptness) Why hasn't mainstream media broadcast in bold the 36 rigs in the Gulf of Mexico that have been put out of work, or the five rigs that have left for Egypt and other parts of Africa, and the roughly 8,000 to 12,000 jobs lost?

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.
