I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.
It’s unbelievable, the hypocrisy, the rampant spending, the “drunk with power” mentality, and the elitism of the liberals is a change driving this country toward the brink of the new fall of another American-Roman Empire. And it’s all been accomplished in less than two months. What in God’s name can we except in six months, a year?
Its obvious Obama is in way over his head. Most of the smart people in this country knew that before this left-wing nut case was elected. But, as my father always said, a smart man will surround himself with people smarter than himself. Well, we know that’s not the case here, half his appointments couldn’t even figure out the tax code, others are so corrupted from being entrenched in paybacks to those who rewarded this administration with dollars and the third person in line for president is swinging the doors so wide open for illegals that American citizens are getting sucked out by the vacuum.
We cannot continue on this course. Everything is completely out of control. The media is attempting to put a happy face on it and Obama is still campaigning by going on Leno and letting everyone knows he’s still a really cool dude. In the meanwhile the Chinese are financially taking us over, illegals are taking the jobs our tax dollars created, drug runners are crowding our southern border with impunity, schools are becoming nothing more than money generators for the teachers union, especially in California, Korea is testing rockets, the Taliban is growing stronger, Iran probably has nuclear weapons and on and on. I can’t even write anymore right now because I’m so pissed off and truthfully, scared.
If there has ever been a time to rise up and revolt, we better get our act together soon. With so much damage created so quickly the affect of this American nightmare will soon be irreversible. The inmates, and soon the terrorists, oops, sorry, enemy combatants are running this asylum straight to hell. Am I overstating? I don’t really think so. But I sure hope I am.
Victory or Death
The other night I had the great pleasure of listening to one of the smartest, if not the smartest man in or around Washington, D.C., Newt Gingrich. He is by far the one person who has a pulse on this country and the people who run it. And because of that, the democrats had to demonize him down to the knees, because, as we know, liberals are supportive of ideas only as long as it’s theirs.
In any case, he pointed out, coming soon in his new book, how George Washington decided on that famous night to cross the Delaware. They had nothing to lose. If they didn’t take the fight to the enemy, they were done. Hence the battle cry of, Victory or Death. If they didn’t die on the battle field they would have died by the rope. That truth is applicable to what’s happening to us today with this new administration.
Obama and his obamanites have nearly destroyed in four weeks what’s taken two hundred years to build, and they’ve only started. And, once again I have to give them credit for their political strategy. The liberal playbook they’re using is a doozy. With the anointed one still running high in the polls and with every one of his followers still wobbly in the knees, Emanuel, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the gang are striking while the iron is hot. Sorry for the cliché. They’re milking this honeymoon period as fast as they can to ram all their socialist and communist policies on America before most of the blind followers know what hit em. By the time the obamanites wake up and realize what he’s done it’ll be too late. Actually, it’s probably already too late.
Can you imagine, and many in America are faced with this problem, you’re deep in debt and you decide the only way to get out of it is to go deeper into debt. Even my five-year grandson knows better. Then how come we’re allowing this nightmare to take place we call the stimulus package? It’s just not possible the liberals can actually believe what they’re doing is smart. So what’s the real reason for this Obamination? By now at least half of us know it’s to Change America as we know it (Obama wasn’t kidding when he preached change).
And if you really want to get pissed off all over again, read Bernie Goldberg’s, A Slobbering Love Affair. It will remind you all over again how corrupt and in the tank our media was for Obama and how we the people really got screwed.
On the upside, Obama’s approval rating is dropping. His on-the-job training program is already opening some eyes.
Oops and I’m changing too.
I spoke too soon in my last column. The News Press did end up printing my letter. The first time in five years.
I have so much to write about that I can’t get myself started. The old deer in the headlights thing. First of all I’d like to say that this website was never intended to be political. I have a number of novels I’m working on and have friends with books we’ll be adding to the site. All along my intention was to market the books and inform other writers with the experience I’ve had so they don’t make the same mistakes. And, to hopefully motivate a little. Being a writer has never been easy. Even in the “old” days when you could go directly to a publishing house and they might have even looked at your manuscript if you were lucky to get pulled off the slush pile. Then it went to where only agents could get their attention. Now, you’re lucky if you can get the agent’s attention. These truths can be a morale buster. You have to write for yourself. If you’re really good, take the craft serious, and are willing to bust your ass to promote yourself, you might sell a couple books.
Enter Print on Demand. The times have truly changed. You can now write a book, print it yourself, stare at the finished product and pat yourself on the back. You have a book! Now what do you do with it? Market, market, market. More on this later.
I want to first switch back to something else. I’m starting up a new website called, and I thought long and hard about this, HenrySchulte.com. That will be where I can comfortably vent my political views. I’ll let you all know when it’s up and running. In the meantime I’ll continue to throw out a few things here.
Back to the deer in the headlights thing. I have no idea where to begin. Obama is proving he hasn’t a clue what he’s doing. His administration is throwing so much stuff out there it’s becoming a whirlpool of experimental plans. An analogy would be, if you say one lie, we all know it leads to another and another until finally there are so many lies you’ve lost the truth. Or, maybe a better analogy is when you gamble your allotted hundred bucks and you lose it, then you decide to chase it with another bucks and lose it, then you chase it with…you get the idea. It doesn’t work, and that’s what is happening in our country.
We may have gone through some rough times, but the private sector would have eventually corrected itself, and it probably still will. But the debt and government intervention we’ve allowed to occur is beyond anything the founding fathers could ever have imagined. What a mess.
Censorship…or just don’t like me?
I’m not anyone special and I’m certainly not that smart. But I’ve kept pretty close tabs on the politics of San Francisco South or Santa Monica North, or better known as Santa Barbara. I’ve run for office a few times and had to endure the wrath of Jane Fonda, organized hippy brigades and the dirtiest of Chicago style politics, all from people who profess peace and love. For a number of years I was writing a column in a small local newspaper. The owner allowed me great leeway. I also continued to write columns and letters to the editor in the Santa Barbara News Press. For a while they were printed, then, someone black balled me. I tried for a number of years to get something printed. I wrote short pieces, long pieces, nice pieces, nasty pieces. Didn’t matter.
Below is another letter to the editor I attempted to recently get published. I was even contacted to reduce it to 250 words, which I took as a good sign. I cut it down to 249. But, somewhere in the publishing news chain, I was once again denied. I don’t think it was all that nasty and don’t have a real answer for why I’m being censored, but someone does have it our for me. I wonder if I should have my feelings hurt?
Santa Barbara News Press
Another recent letter to the editor pointed out yet again what’s wrong with this city and the country as a whole. The writer pointed out how wonderful Obama’s Inauguration was, how so many people had come together, how everyone chipped in to clean up and most importantly “when was the last time so many of us…were proud to wave the American flag?
During Clinton’s reign of shame, after turning the White House into a frat house, I was still proud to wave the American flag. I have always been and always will be. However, in less than three weeks our new president has already alerted us that the very people who want to raise our taxes, don’t pay them, that over the last two years when Democrats controlled congress they couldn’t pass a bill for the life of them, but when it comes to spending the money of the American people under the guise of a stimulus package, they’re capable of doing it overnight.
We’ve also learned with this new power, the Democrats are going to use our money to repay the people who put them in power and do what it takes to stay in power. They’re not even being sneaky about it. Just take a trillion dollars and funnel it to the unions, to ACORN who cheated for votes, shower the environmentalists with funds for what is now being called “climate change” and a myriad of other paybacks. It’s an in-your-face Chicago-style politics followed by a wave of the middle finger.
And to further secure their position, the White House is employing Californiagerrymandering tactics. By bringing control of the 2010 census into the Oval Office, the Democrats will start drawing districts like that of Lois Capps. We’ve already had to endure these kinds of politics in California for years and you can see exactly how successful it’s been: the highest tax rates, the worst schools, bulging prisons, unions run amok, a massive flood of illegal immigrants, insurance rates through the roof and on and on.
I’ve always been proud to wave the flag. And even as I watch our country become France, and even after enduring eight years of listening to the venomous hate mantra of president Bush and the endless attempts by the left to bring down this nation, I’ll always be thankful to be an American.
