73rd Rant: Obama’s Second Inauguration and America’s Future

Well, the unthinkable which we had failed to prevent on November 6, 2012, had officially happened this past Sunday. We have 4 more years of Barack Obama. I say officially on Sunday because according to the Constitution January 20 is the official day when the President and Vice President begin their term, with the public inauguration occurring on Monday, January 21.  We already know what plans Obama has for the second term, and that which I had long feared might just occur in his second term, that in turning the Republic which the Founding Fathers had fought and died to create into an Empire like that of Soviet Russia a century ago or (even worse) like that which we had seen come about in Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. Granted, the latter is just a movie, but it is still powerful nevertheless.

If you had not seen that movie, there is a very interesting clip which has been removed on YouTube where Chancellor Palpatine was speaking to the Senate and spoke of the Jedi attack on him, thus leaving him scarred and deformed. However, he said his resolve had never been stronger and that ” in order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire...for a safe and secure society!” The reply from Senator Padme Amidala is rather alarming, and possibly serves as a warning for us today: “So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause.”  Is there any way to prevent this from happening in our world today?

Fortunately, there might be a way. AJ Reissig has written a book entitled Escape to Freedom: Book One in the FreedomRedux Series. AJ lives in New Richmond, Ohio with his lovely wife Christina and children. Born in 1973, he grew up in the small river town of Moscow, Ohio. He is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati with a background in chemistry. After spending several years as an analyst in manufacturing, he began to pursue writing as a part-time freelancer. His hobbies include gardening, woodworking, home improvement, and anything outdoors.
AJ has long followed politics. Over the years, AJ has become increasingly disturbed by the trend toward big government in the United States. His novel series, FreedomRedux, revolves around a United States of the future that is governed by a totalitarian regime that is bent on world domination, and those who wish to restore the United States to the nation that the founding fathers intended. In 2011, he started the political blog FreedomRedux to express his libertarian political beliefs. In 2012, he founded Freedom Notes Press, LLC to publish political novels.

72nd Rant: An Open Letter to the Haters

I have picked up a lot of haters in my 38 years of being vertical and walking the earth. However, over the past three years that I had decided to actively blog about politics (as opposed to passively blog now and then) they had come out of the woodwork. Many would think that because I am a Conservative that it would come from the Liberals, but that is not the case. Roughly 95% of the haters had come from those who call themselves Conservative. The following goes out to them on behalf of myself and a few close friends:

Dear haters and other douchenozzles,

It is because of you and your egotistical bullshit that we are 24 – 48 hours from the coronation of Barack Obama. While I understand we each had different candidates through the Primaries, when Romney had the nomination all locked up in April we should have put our differences aside and supported him as the candidate to go up against Obama in November. However, that was not the case as had been mentioned on Red, Right, and Blue as well as this very blog on several occasions. Thanks to you, the Left had controlled the narrative and that led to Obama winning the White House for 4 more years.

Many of you had said that “a vote for Romney is a vote for Obama because they both believe the same thing.” I had disproven that as well because we had all seen how Obama hates America in many ways, more recently with the executive orders he signed this past Wednesday tightening gun control. On the other hand, if you had heard Romney with an open mind then you would know that he loves America and would do all he could in order to make this the best country on the earth.But you would not see that through your rose-colored glasses. We lost the White House not because of WHO we ran or HOW we ran, but rather because we were not a solid unit. Now, because we were not a solid unit, you better be prepared to see all that the Founding Fathers fought, bled, and died for crumble and America as we know it go to hell in a handbag even faster. I told you this is exactly what would happen, but you were so bull-headed that you could not see an inch from your own face.

I know you had told me to go back to my blog because I know nothing. I also know that you had told a few conservative BlogTalk Radio show hosts to get off the air and you have bragged that you ran off a couple of others. Well, you had not run us off but rather we are bigger and better than ever before. In the immortal words of Katy Abram to Arlen Specter, you have awakened a sleeping giant. We WILL NOT be denied. You might have run us off of BlogTalk Radio but you have NOT silenced us. We own the narrative because it is not just a fancy saying or something that can be turned off like a light switch. Rather, it is a way of life, something that is in us every second of our lives, and we are determined to make your lives a living hell the only way we know how. You might think that you have silenced us, but instead you have made our drive to take back America that much more in the fore. We are bound and determined to own and control the narrative. Whatever narrative we do not have, we will do all we can to take the narrative away from the liberals and also you haters. You are no better than the liberals. In fact, and I speak for myself on this, you are ALL liberals in my eyes!

Sincerely,

Richard P. (Rick) Bulow

A REAL American fighting for what’s right

I do not know about you, but the haters and douchenozzles had only given me more incentive to got to #WAR and ensure that I can do all I can to save this nation in 2014 and beyond. While the past is behind us, I will do all I can to learn from it and move ahead so as not to let the past repeat itself.

It seems that  the wheels are falling off the Steubenville Rape Mess because The Other McCain uncovering the facts and Lee Stranahan reporting on it live from Steubenville.

And in speaking of Lee Stranahan reporting from Steubenville to dismantle the Rape Mess, it seems he has found the source of the lies. (possible source unmasked; story developing)

And check out Instapundit and The Layfield Report for more news

It looks like Allen West (Former Republican Congressman from Florida’s 22nd District; lost in the 2012 election to Patrick Murphy when the district was changed to the 18th due to redistricting) is going to be joining PJ Media as their Director of Next Generation Programming (h/t Becca Lower)

It seems the networks felt that Obama’s last Presser of his first term was more important than The Price Is Right.

For the second time in as many Congresses, the Constitution was read on the House floor yesterday. Unfortunately, it was not without drama for the second time in as many Congresses. Last time someone shouted “Birther!” during the reading of the second article. This time, it was someone yelling about assault rifles and abortion. (h/t Twitchy)

h/t to Sarah Rumpf for her piece on Marco Rubio's Op-Ed in USA Today demanding an end to "Washington's Reckless Spending"

The Sandy Relief bill came up for a vote in the House yesterday, and it passed in spite of almost 75% of the House Republicans voting against it because of the pork stuffed into it.

h/t to the Barracuda Brigade for the entry on the Journal News (New York) reporters not taking what they dish out

While The Barracuda Brigade’s entry was good, I like The Other McCain’s headline on the same incident better

And just as I thought I have no more reasons why I am happy I am not living in Chicago any more, this beaut from The Other McCain gives me more reason

It seems that #TeamKimberlin has a vested interest in the Steubenville rape case (read mess). Hogewash wants to know: “What is Team Kimberlin doing in Steubenville?”

h/t to The Other McCain for their piece on the non-facts in the Steubenville mess defaming the entire town

Lee Stranahan has many articles on the Steubenville mess. Two articles in particular are how everything we know about the Steubenville rape mess is wrong and a list of the news outlets talking about the Steubenville rape mess.

I had not heard Jimmie Bise’s radio show. However, I had been to his website and I have to say it is a good site for someone to Instalanche on!

A major h/t to Robert Stacy McCain for his piece on what depression is and isn’t. (NOTE: This is a very helpful article especially as my family has had bouts of depression. I have even had a short fling with it now and then)

In brighter news, I would like to thank The Other McCain for awarding me with the Full Metal Jacket Reach Around Award for the second straight week. If you want to know what the Full Metal Jacket Reach Around Award is and how you can get the award, read the ever popular piece “How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog in Less Than a Year” (from his old blog at http://rsmccain.blogspot.com) and you can see your blog stats rise exponentially.

h/t to Diane Sori of The Patriot Factor for her Op-Ed entitled “Barack HUSSEIN Obama...a firearm dealer's dream come true”

71st Rant: An Apology to the Founding Fathers

My friend Laurin Moreno had written something on December 15, 2012, which really put things in perspective nowadays.

Dear Founding Fathers:
 
I’m sorry that after all we have been through as a nation that we cannot see when something is wrong under our very eyes.
 
I’m sorry that we have become so dependent on government instead of on ourselves.
 
I’m sorry that we care more for our enemies overseas than we do our allies.
 
I’m sorry that in times of tragedy that people will use their political beliefs to get their agendas across.
 
I’m sorry that we have been so arrogant as a Nation, thinking that nothing or no one will harm us.
 
I’m sorry that we are electing people to Office without vetting them.
 
I’m sorry that we have come to a point where free speech is considered a hate crime.
 
I’m sorry for those who think we are on the right track when we are coming so close to falling off a cliff, financially, economically, and morally.
 
I’m sorry that good is being called evil and that evil is being called good.
 
I’m sorry that people who live today do not realize the struggles you all went through to get yourselves from under the thumb of the British and make America what it is today.
 
I’m sorry that we have become a nation where we can sit back and watch someone die without even trying to help them.
 
I’m sorry that we are fast becoming the government from which you fought so hard to break away.
 
I’m sorry that we have a president who has been spitting on the Constitution ever since…ever since before he got into Office and after. In his opinion, the Constitution is flawed.
 
I’m sorry that after such tragedies like Fort Hood, Operation Fast and Furious, the oil spill in Florida, the theater shooting in Colorado, the death of Team SEAL Six, Benghazi, and just recently the shooting in an elementary school in Connecticut, that people still can’t see our President as someone who is only looking out for himself.
 
I’m sorry that we elected a president whose background includes: growing up around those who worshiped terrorism, racism, socialism, communism, Marxism, and Saul Alinsky. Add to that the fact that anyone who knew the president for what he really is and who tried to come forward and warn U.S. citizens, especially when he was running for President the first time, have been killed, or have disappeared.
 
I’m sorry we have a president who apologizes to other countries for America being America.
 
I’m sorry we have a president who supplies our enemies with OUR weapons.
 
I’m sorry we have a president who gets our men and women in uniform killed because he keeps bowing to our enemies and making their missions much more dangerous with ridiculous Rules of Engagement.
 
I’m sorry we have a president, a Senate, and a House of Representatives who continue to dig our country even deeper into debt while imposing disastrous regulations on small businesses while catering to big businesses, forcing banks to make "bad loans" in order to be ALLOWED to expand and in the process killing American jobs.
 
I’m sorry that we try to see the good in people—especially our elected officials-- when, day after day, year after year, they continue to intentionally hurt America and its people emotionally and physically.
 
I’m sorry that ignorance, stupidity, and gullibility is the new norm.
 
I’m sorry that the murdering of the unborn is just all right, when in the Declaration of Independence it clearly states that people have the right to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
 
I’m sorry that even America’s most patriotic people can’t even see the evil that pervades most of our elected officials, especially our current president who is the most evil, anti-America president that we have ever had.
 
I’m sorry that U.S. citizens take their rights-something that most countries do not have—for granted.
 
I’m sorry that, instead of telling people of certain religions and ethnic backgrounds to integrate, we have to treat them like they are someone special.
 
I’m sorry that hardworking, law-abiding citizens are having everything taken from them by those who do the opposite.
 
Most of all, I’m sorry that everything you all have fought and died for is being thrown away, daily. If all of you were here right now, you would probably look at us in disgust and think, ”If we knew America was going to be like this, we would not have ever broken away from Britain.”

 

No truer words have been spoken. She had summed up in 739 words what many have tried to say in in the past 20 years. America is suffering, and the Founders are probably spinning in their graves seeing the once beautiful country that they bled and died for being turned into the despotic cesspool that it is now, no thanks to Obama and his cronies. We need to do all that we can to take this country back. Everyone should ask themselves one question which I had spoken of in my most recent rant: Will you give up, or will you fight on?
