Ron Paul Will Never Be The Answer
I can already smell the bong resin emanating from the radical marijuana legalization crowd that supports Ron Paul to the point of being cult-like, breathing down fire upon my comments section. You would have thought I punched the pope at Christmas mass after my last article on Ron Paul:

I feel very strongly that Ron Paul is wrong for our country for a variety of reasons, and I am tired of seeing a small, fringe element attacking anyone who doesn't agree that Paul is the greatest thing since George Washington to grace this nation.
Let me first start by giving credit where credit is due. Ron Paul deserves accolades for his stand against the federal reserve. I agree with him on some of his economic ideas and his recent appointment as Chairman of the U.S. House Domestic Monetary Policy Subcommittee is a great position for him. This is where Mr. Paul needs to concentrate his efforts, as he seems to be quite knowledgeable in this area.
Where Paul goes astray is in the subject of foreign policy. Ron Paul is an isolationist...oh, wait...sorry Paulites...what have you changed that term to?? That's right, he is a "non-interventionalist" according to his supporters. This approach to foreign affairs is naive at best, and catastrophic at worst. Oh wait...what is that I hear??? I can hear the chants of "warmonger" and "neocon" already arriving at the front door of my comments section. One thing Paulites are is predictable. If you criticize Paul's foreign policy ideas you are sure to have these names hurled in your general direction early and often.
Ron Paul was against the Iraq war. After all, it is really none of our business if a country is building weapons of mass destruction to terrorize other nations according to Paul...and yes, folks, there were WMD's:
Ron Paul has gone so far to say that we (USA) are to blame for the unprovoked 9/11 attacks, aligning himself with the anti-war fringe leftists.
Paul has stated quite clearly that he would close down all U.S bases in foreign countries and bring all of our military home within our borders in order to defend them. Paul is against what he perceives to be our meddling in others affairs. Imagine what the world would be like if we hadn't meddled in Europe's affairs with Hitler. What Paul does not wish to take into account is that we have interests which stretch outside of our borders. We cannot just withdraw to our own borders and ignore the rest of the worlds plight. As long as their is evil in the world we will have a moral obligation to do something about it. I would certainly not stand in my front yard and watch my neighbor beat the snot out of his wife next door under the justification that it is not my business.
Paul thinks we should just leave radical islam alone and they, in turn, will leave us alone. This sounds all good and well in pot-smoking hippieland, where the most intelligent words are generally, "I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob." Unfortunately that is not the reality of our world, and to take a foreign policy approach under the assumption that it is will be destructive to our nation. Do you think these kind muslims are planning on leaving us alone?

Additionally, Ron Paul has come out in support of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Apparently, Mr. Paul thinks it is just peachy that someone post our classified documents for all the world to see. Apparently Mr. Paul doesn't see the threat to national security that this poses at all. He either doesn't understand or doesn't care that this puts the lives of our servicemembers at a greater risk every day. This is not the type of judgment we need in the oval office.
Now let's explore some of the more, shall we say, questionable behaviors of Ron Paul. Ron Paul has allied and surrounded himself with some very disturbing characters. The large majority of "truther" conspiracy theorists, who believe our own government is responsible for the 9/11 attacks, support Ron Paul. Paul has gone out of his way to encourage these nuts, and only when directly pressured by the media during the 2008 campaign, gave a half-hearted denial of espousing the theory himself.
Ron Paul supports the legalization of marijuana and has drawn a large following of young, smelly, stoned followers who support his every idea like mindless zombies, in the hopes that he will bring about their utopia, a nation where the sticky-icky grows like the sycamore.
More disturbingly, Ron Paul cozies himself up to the King of Conspiracy theories, Alex Jones. Ron Paul goes on his show regularly and does a wonderful job of giving credibility to this fat, schizophrenic bag of wind. One has to ask oneself, if a person really wanted to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate, would they go on this show???
Alex Jones is a complete nutjob, who is the leader of the 9/11 truthers as well as just about any conspiracy theory one could concoct. I have written about him before
and although he is regularly acting like a complete psychotic fool, Ron Paul seems to be best friends with the guy. Does anyone still think who a person hangs out with doesn't give you a picture of what they are like?? I think Obama has proven that theory to be fact with the vast array of marxists and criminals that he has surrounded himself with.
So we have Ron Paul...a man who's major following consists of drug users, anti-war leftists, truthers, and conspiracy-laden schizophrenics. They should call it the Ron Paul Circus, not Revolution. Yeah, I said it Paulbots!! It's my opinion and I am entitled to it...at least until the government steals my thoughts, and sends the secret security force to cart me off to the FEMA camps in the middle of the night.

Wow!! Obama Faced Toughest Presidency?? Really??
There is no depth in lying that they will not stoop to. I suppose they feel they have "dumbed down" public education enough over the last 20 years that Americans may accept this idiotic claim as truth.

Ronald Reagan Presidential Christmas Address
How far we have come as a nation since Ronald Reagan's address in 1981. Has President Obama even made a Christmas address? If he does, I am guessing it will be called a "holiday address" and will not speak of Bethlehem, a manger, or Jesus. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone. If I find an Obama christmas address I will post it. I'm surprised there isn't one yet since the almighty Obama usually makes any excuse to post himself on all of our network channels so he can pontificate to his followers.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT DETAILS SHEEPLE, THERE WILL BE CAKE AND ICE CREAM AND HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!!
It is becoming increasingly clear that the radical left of this country led by President Obama have underestimated the American people and their ability to research, study, and get actively involved in ensuring their "representatives" are actually "representing" them when it comes to healthcare. To be honest, I am somewhat surprised at the recent success of individual Americans finally rising up to protest the rampant power-seizing being conducted by this administration which contradicts the United States Constitution almost on a daily basis. After last years election, when it seemed everyone had become brainwashed into the "hope and change" speeches, I was under the pessimistic impression that the majority of Americans had become unconcerned with the political details of what bills their leaders supported, and more concerned with mesmerizing oratory concertos. I will now happily admit I was wrong.
The reinvigoration of the American people's involvement into politics and the direction of this country could not have taken place without the left-wing statists pompous assertions that the American population would blindly support all of their policies without looking into the fine print. It has long been the far-left's achilles heel...their continuing belief that they can mix up their potion of:
1 part- class warfare, 2 parts- villification of one or more classes, 3 parts- government bill which promises to rescue the wronged, punish the perceived villain, and create utopian existence; mix well and top with enthusiastic speeches by world class orators...
and the American people will blindly trust that they have their best interests in mind without looking any further into the actual details of the legislation, which removes a little more of their freedom. I am so inspired by the re-awakening of us "Average Joe Americans" (the"AJA", if you will) that I have downloaded the actual healthcare bill and have done a little research to debunk all of the liberals who continueto lie (yes, I said LIE...A SPADE IS A SPADE) about what is or isn't contained in the bill.
1. A GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE WOULD DETERMINE WHAT BENEFITS INDIVIDUAL AMERICANS RECEIVE OR ARE DENIED
page 30, section 123- SEC. 123. HEALTH BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.-
(1) IN GENERAL.-There is established a private-public advisory committee which shall be a panel of medical and other experts to be known as the Health Benefits Advisory Committee to recommend covered benefits and essential, enhanced,and premium plans
(2) CHAIR.-The Surgeon General shall be a member and the chair of the Health Benefits Advisory Committee.
(3) MEMBERSHIP.-The Health Benefits Advisory Committee shall be composed of the following members, in addition to the Surgeon General:
(A) 9 members who are not Federal employees or officers and who are appointed by the President.
(B) 9 members who are not Federal employees or officers and who are appointed by the Comptroller General of the United States in a manner similar to the manner in which the Comptroller General appoints members to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission under section 1805(c) of the Social Security Act.
(C) Such even number of members (not to exceed 8) who are Federal employees and officers, as the President may appoint. Such initial appointments shall be made not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
Note how many members of this board are directly or indirectly appointed by President Obama!!!
I will continue to post the facts and fiction of this proposed healthcare bill, one detail at a time, each day, supported by the actual bill's writing; verbatim, until A) this travesty of legislation is voted down, or B) an Obama supporter reads this and reports me to the "fishy blog police"program he has apparently started. Please check back daily and send this link to all who support or are uninformed of the actual ramifications of this bill.

A MILITARY LESSON IN LEADERSHIP FOR THE POTUS
After fifteen years of service in the United States Marine Corps, I have often stated to others that I believe everyone could benefit from a little time in the military. I do not say this to offer support for a mandatory enlistment program. I am actually against such a program. I say this because there are many positive lessons that can be learned in a short amount of time in the military. These lessons encompass just about everything a person needs in life in order to be successful in any endeavor. Discipline, bearing, decision making skills, I can go on all day but I do not mean for this to sound like a recruiting commercial. In my opinion the two most important traits that are acquired in military service are leadership and integrity.
It is painfully obvious after President Obama's first 100 days in office that he has never served in the military, not that this is his fault. I am sure he would be the first to say that he is not to blame for his absence of service in the military, and this is indirectly the point I want to concentrate on. I am not pompous, but feel more than qualified to offer this lesson to our Commander in Chief, should he be inclined to listen to anyone for a change.
I have learned over time that the higher rank you achieve in the military, the more missions and tasks you become responsible for. Once you have climbed the ladder high enough, you can no longer attempt to accomplish tasks on your own, but must delegate them to the troops you are in charge of. This is identified as, "Delegation of Authority." This is where leadership becomes more complicated, as you can no longer merely count on yourself to get things accomplished, but must train, instruct, and trust that your junior troops are going to accomplish the mission on your behalf. If you are a good leader you will be pleased with the results most of the time, but once in a while your superiors will not be pleased with the results of what they assigned to YOU for completion. I capitalized the "YOU" because you, as the leader, are responsible for the results. When things go bad you can not shift the blame on your workers. After all you were responsible for them. In the same regard, your superiors (if they are worth a cup of coffee) don't march you into their superiors office to explain why the mission failed, they take their own responsibility for it.
Apparently President Obama hasn't grasped this idea as of yet. He likes to blame everyone else when he or his troops (cabinet) make mistakes. Most recently it was the "Scare Force One" fiasco, where he claimed to know nothing about it but promised to look into it and the Biden "Swine Flu Fear Mongering" where he sent his minions out to explain what Joe, "meant to say." Not long ago it was the Saudi King incident where he clearly bowed to the leader, but rather than admit error, insulted everyone's intelligence by claiming it was not a bow. I've also not seen any "oops" or "my bad" from the DVD gift fiasco, knowledge of the AIG bonuses in the bailout package, attempting to force war veterans to pay for their own medical care...I could go on all day but I think you get the point. He seems to not take responsibility for any mistakes he or his cabinet makes. This is not a positive trait for the most powerful leadership position in the world.
Allow me to use a non-military analogy to simplify this. I live in military housing (I know I said non-military, bear with me). Military housing is like a subdivision. There are rules like many subdivisions have stating acceptable levels of cleanliness, what may be displayed, etc. I, being a father of three children; aged 12, 14, and 17, have been known to delegate some of my yardwork to them. If I delegate authority to them to mow the lawn, and they do a poor job, or don't complete it at all, I may receive a citation from the housing office for failing to maintain the grounds on my property. If this happens, what do you think my recourse is to go before the housing board and argue to them that it isn't my fault, as I assigned it to my kids and they didn't do it? Or, better yet, what if I claim that my children "meant to" do it properly? Exactly!!! After being laughed at for such a silly defense, I would probably be informed that it was my responsiblity to see that the job was done, and that I cannot blame my children. You see, leaders generally learn the rule early on that you can delegate authority, but you can never delegate responsibility.
This, Mr. President, is a simple lesson that you should learn if you wish to be taken seriously as "LEADER of the free world."
