The quiet 75%

I wish I could take a survey of how many of the 75% welfare-freebie people watch Fox News. I'm sure most of them don't even know who Fox News is. The welfare-freebie people get most of their Kool-Aid from MSNBC, CNN, PBS, ABC, & CBS.

I am so glad to be one of the millions of viewers who have made Fox the number one cable news network for several years. I mean, let's face it; millions of Americans every day can't be all wrong. Even millions of progressive libs will tune into Fox when they want the news honest, fair, balanced, and unafraid. Well, except for the 75% of the freebie-welfare base that voted Mr. Obama into our White House.

To me the most hilarious is there is only one host, Sean Hannity, that openly declares he's a conservative Republican. And yet he still garners more viewers every night at 9:00 than MSNBC and CNN combined. The rest of the  Fox programming starting at 6:00 every morning is all televised under the charter of "fair & balanced".

To those critics who may disagree with me I can only proudly point to Fox's monthly published ratings. I always compare Fox to the old UCLA basketball teams under my hero John Wooden.
I lived in Southern California for thirty-five years, and watched John and UCLA win ten national championships; seven in a row. 

Coach Wooden's claim to fame was he never actively recruited a player. All the high school basketball stars flocked to UCLA just for a tryout to play for the Wizzard of Westwood.
To make my case I just point to Bill Walton and Kareen Abdul Jabaar. Yet, for all the unprecedented success Coach Wooden had at UCLA, the outstanding citizen, father, grandfather, teacher, and leader that he will always be remembered for, he was still attacked by his opponents. Blasphemy and lies were always cast at him. 

But all Coach Wooden did was keep winning; never paying attention to those that constantly castigated him. And what did he do in 1975? He put the exclamation mark on his career. He walked off the court after his final job of coaching with the NCAA championship in hand. What a guy. If John were alive today I'm confident Fox News would be his favorite news source.

To me, Fox News is the same way. Fox keeps getting attacked by the freebie-welfare populate because Mr. Obama has done a great job of convincing this particular group that the "evil-revenge" Republicans want to take their freebies away. Mr. Obama further promises the welfare people that he'll raise taxes on the rich to get revenue to keep their welfare checks flowing.

I guess if I was out of work, and only listened to MSNBC and CNN, I would be drinking Mr. Obama's Kool-Aid also. Really, can you blame them? They actually believe why work....the ugly evil rich cats are going to take care of us because our "Lord & Savior" will make sure they do so through his taxing policies.

If Mr. Obama's policies are so effective why has his approval rating dropped to 49% in the twenty-four days since his election? Yes, CNN and MSNBC won't report that. Another fact the fawning media won't report , and Fox will, is the drastic unemployment and welfare growth under Mr. Obama's watch is the only growth Mr. Obama can report to his welfare base.

Have any of the lame-stream media bothered to report that Mr. Obama, with the help of Senator Reid, wants to increase spending by $1.2.Trillion over the next decade with no promise of spending cuts except for the military. He also wants executive power to raise the national debt without congressional approval.  You can bet he won't cut any spending from his 75% of 14.9 millions on welfare. And where is Mr. Obama today? He's out selling this foolish dream on his campaign trail. Someone tell him to stay home, quit campaigning for the 2014 mid term.

Maybe one of may favorite scenarios is the media, along with Mr. Obama's minions are reporting to their welfare base that the Republicans are not offering any solutions to the fiscal cliff problems. What the fawning media and the Democrats won't report is that the House has offered forty-one job market solutions to the Senate. And what does Senator Reid do about it?
He won't even bring a single offer to the floor of the Senate for a vote. I think old Harry is afraid a House suggestion might actually get passed.

If the freebie-welfare people would only spend some time with Fox News they would see that Mr. Obama only wants their votes. He is not concerned about any job creation. If he were would he be sending money to wasteful energy companies instead of focusing on our own resources? Is it because these are the companies that donated to his campaign? Is he still giving them our tax money in bail-outs so they can donate it back for the mid-term elections?

I just can't seem to get a basic question answered, no matter how many times I've asked in my blogs; IF FOX NEWS IS SO TERRIBLE, HOW COME THEY ARE NUMBER ONE IN EVERY TIME SLOT FROM 6:00 A.M. TO MIDNIGHT EVERY DAY? Please, one of you strong critics of mine answer me.  To add insult to injury to the other networks, there are time slots where Fox leads in ratings against all other networks COMBINED. When I ask that I can't seem to get a logical valid challenge from my critics. Why is that?

I'm sure the other networks won't tell you that on election night Fox even topped the the big major networks; ABC, CBS, and NBC. And that's a fact easily proven.  Why are CNN and MSNBC constantly apologizing for comments from their show hosts? They just aren't credible.

I encourage all to keep watching your favorite talk shows; be it CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, or NBC. But every once in a while press your remote towards Fox. I guarantee you'll receive the news honest, fair, balanced, and unafraid. 

And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country...and our troops.

It's racist of course

Didn't we get enough of the race card baiting during the presidential campaign by the progressive liberals and their fawning media? The election is over, Mr. Obama won, or better yet, his Chicago thuggery machine, along with his rigged electronic voting machines, managed to amass 51% of the votes. It got so bad  the humorous MSNBC declared everyone a racist that disagreed with any of Mr. Obama's policies during the campaign.

So  what do we have now?  It seems the progressive liberals won't let it go. Now the Republicans are racists because they don't approve of Ambassador Susan Rice's possible nomination to Secretary of State. The progressive libs seem to forget the Republicans did have an African-American female as Secretary of State. Her name was Condoleeza Rice.

But the libs and the media fail to understand that  the Republican Senators don't care about Ambassador Rice's gender or the color of her skin. They're concerned about her abilities to hold one of the highest jobs in our country. Many believe she just isn't qualified. And let's face it; the way she conducted herself with lies on national TV trying to explain the Benghazi fiasco proves it.

She will probably be nominated by Mr. Obama, and will eventually be confirmed. My belief, along with many others, is that Ambassador Rice is definitely not qualified to be Secretary of State, but her qualifications have nothing at all to do with the color or her skin or her gender. Yet, any disagreement is met with horrible bitter words starting with "racist", or "war on women".

If it wasn't so true it would be comical. Even normal, everyday words seem to invoke tirades of racism from the progressive libs and their fawning media. Al "Rev" Sharpton of MSNBC is now blaming the Republican party for the high unemployment. Is that the biggest laugh you've ever heard? I'm not going to take the time and space in this blog to highlight how are economy has spiraled downward since Mr. Obama has been in our White House. I've done that enough.

Another piecee of race-baiting factual information is that currently there are 14.9 million Americans on food stamps. Over the past three years percentage numbers have grown from 10% to 12%, under Mr. Obama's watch. Yet whenever "food stamps" is mentioned in a sentence it is considered racist.  One liberal talk show host even went so far to say that to say "Black Friday" is racist when talking about shopping the day after Thanksgiving.   Really?

Layoffs have increased dramatically since election day, but to report that is considered racist.
Seventeen states have opted out of Obamacare; even states that Mr. Obama carried in the election. Well, states he carried or the electronic voting machines were successfully rigged.
The point is these seventeen states are called racist states because they will not support Mr. Obama's health care plan. Really?

Just got this great idea. Why not have two dictionaries in circulation? One dictionary could be labeled Politically Correct, and the other dictionary would be labeled Dictionary of Racist Words.
Is this a great country or what?

And that's Politics with Pete for today....God bless our country....and our troops

Plan? Where Mr. Obama?

(Before I start my blog, I want to address a critic that challenged my November 24th. blog. My esteemed critic asked for my sources as to Democrat James Carville's message. It appears my esteemed critic didn't read my blog in its entirety. I did offer two sources as to the validity of Mr. Carville's message.  To repeat I offered two sources for Mr. Carville's message. First source is THE WORD PRESS, whereby Mr. Carville's picture appeared showing him delivering his message. The second source is the AMAZON.COM NETWORK, showing the same picture, along with the actual word for word message from Mr. Carville. I don't think THE WORD PRESS, or AMAZON.COM.NETWORK would print a quoted message unless it was straight from Mr. Carville. I was able to locate two more sources; THINKEXIST.COM, and the YAHOO.COM NETWORK. These are also reputable sources, that like my other sources, printed the quotes direct from Mr. Carville, along with a picture of Mr. Carville delivering his message.  Now, I'm sure my critic will not recognize the four reputable sources, but that's his problem.)

Has anyone informed Mr. Obama that in order to prevent a "fiscal cliff" fiasco he has to present a plan. Yet, it appears he has no plan, except to raise taxes.  Has anyone informed Mr. Obama that raising taxes only alleviates the national debt by less than one per cent. The only spending cuts he has offered is to cut military spending. Mr. Obama himself said in 2009, and again in 2010 that "we should never raise taxes in a recession, and Medicare and Medicaid are doing fine." Me thinks Mr. Obama speaks in forked tongue.

In fact, Mr. Obama met  yesterday met with union leaders and promised there would be no entitlement cuts. Can you blame him? His plan is to keep delivering the same campaign message to the 75% of freebie-welfare people that he did campaigning for his presidency.

There is only one thing on Mr. Obama's mind right now. The 2014 mid-term election, and to destroy the Republicans. He continues to remind the freebie-welfare people that he will continue to furnish them with monthly welfare checks, to coerce them how to vote in two years.  And this will probably work for Mr. Obama, because our country now has eleven, yes eleven, states that have more "takers" than "makers". This means we have more people on welfare/food stamps/extended unemployment than we do working in a job in these particular eleven states. 

Want to know how clueless Mr. Obama is? Guess who he's having lunch with tomorrow? Yes, the same man he attacked and criticized during the presidential campaign, Governor Romney.
Can you see the meeting now....."Governor Romney, you were a successful business man for decades...what should I do to get our country out of this economic mess?"  Oh yes, it's a private meeting and no press is allowed. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.

It's very clear Mr. Obama does not want income and economic growth in the country. What he really wants is income equality through income distribution. This is something he alluded to in his own voice from the movie "2016".  I just  wonder if Mr. Obama would like all Americans to send their entire assets, holdings, and moneys to him. Then he would sit in a large office with Jarret, Reid, Pelosi, Geithner, Holder, and Bernanke and then "equally" send money out to Americans based on their need. Wow, what a country.

Way to go Mr. Obama. We sure like the way you're looking out for all Americans.

And that's Politics with Pete for today....God bless our country....and our troops

Let 'em have it all

Hey Republicans don't forget that 51% of the American people voted in Mr. Obama for another term. Well, we really don't know how much help he got from alleged rigged electronic machines, or votes that were cast by dead people. But nevertheless Mr. Obama, barring impeachment,  is our "Lord & Savior", as Jamie Fox puts it, for another four years.

Therefore my idea for the Republicans in the House & Senate is to stand back and let Mr. Obama and his Democrat supporters do everything they want without a fight. Let Reid and Pelosi structure the "fiscal cliff" anyway they want.

Mr. Obama wants to raise taxes on everyone making over $200,000. per year. Heck, just stand back and let the Democrats raise taxes on anyone making more than $1.00 a year.  Don't you understand Republicans that if you don't go along with everything Mr. Obama wants you're going to be criticized for stopping the growth of America's economy.

Presently we have more Americans on welfare than the combined population of 21 states. This has grown substantially since Mr. Obama took office in 2008. The Republicans should just step aside and let Mr. Obama raise taxes all he wants so that he can raise the welfare program to 50 or 60 million.  Presently the national average of tax computation is those making one million or more are taxed at 20.4%.  Those making $50K- $110K per year are taxed at 7.7%, and those making $30K-$50K per year are taxed at 4.8%.  Those making less than $30K per year pay no taxes at all because of their deductions and tax credits. Still, Mr. Obama feels the necessity to raise taxes.

Dividend taxes are going to raise to 39%, layoffs have increased since this past election, more colleges and companies are suing to opt out of Obamacare. So what? Why even care?  Just step back and let Mr. Obama, Senator Reid, and Nancy Pelosi take us over the fiscal cliff. Don't protest anything they want. Let them have whatever they want.

Yes, give them all the rope they want. And in three years or less our country will be so far down the drain hole that severe changes will have to be made to get us back on track. However, at least the Republicans can hold up their hands and proclaim, "don't blame us...we had nothing to do with it".  Another nice thing is Mr. Obama will be in office for eight years, and he'll not be able to say, "it's Bush's fault".

If we do give Mr. Obama and his team everything, yes everything, they want you can be sure we will not grow enough revenue to sustain welfare, and along with unemployment growing to 12% or higher there will be no more money. We will be so broke that Ben Bernanke won't even be able to buy green ink to print more money. 

This is not sarcastic rage. It's very simple reasoning. Mr. Obama and his supporters feel they know what is best for America. They feel the best way to raise revenue is to tax, tax, and tax more. They even feel justified in raising taxes on small businesses is the way to go. Of course the media will support them, and as we continue to spiral downward you can bet they will broadcast, "it's still Bush's fault".

The Republican leaders in the House & Senate should take the easy road and say, "whatever you want Mr. Obama...it's your ballgame". If this happens then even the 75% on welfare that voted in Mr. Obama will start wondering, "hey where's our welfare check Mr. Obama?". You can bet without their monthly welfare checks they're going to start doubting their "Lord and Savior".

Republicans should not put up a fight any longer. Just give Mr. Obama all the rope he wants. Let him raise taxes, let him increase welfare and food stamps, let him pay back all the companies that donated to his campaign with taxpayer's money. Hey, it's not his money.
In fact, the best job now is to be one of Mr. Obama's 36 aides. According to the IRS they owe a combination of $836.Million in back taxes, and have no intention of paying it.

Republicans and the 49% that didn't want Mr. Obama in office are smart enough to realize and predict that if Mr. Obama gets all the rope he wants America will suffer more economically than we ever have. Then when we're at the very bottom there's only one place to go.  We'll find another Ronald Reagan and once more America will prosper. But not until we suffer the burden of Mr. Obama. 

I guarantee, however, America will again prevail. God sent us Mr. Obama to wake us up. Just be patient.

Must be getting old

Today I'm feeling a little melancholy and benevolent. When you get my age you learn to cherish these serene and peaceful times. What does this have to do with my "Politics with Pete" daily blogs? Well, keep reading.....please.

I continue to thank my two "bosses" Laurel and Cheryl for giving me this opportunity to write my daily conservative blogs. It's been great, and I hope they allow me to continue this passion  for years to come. Writing a daily blog has become a hobby that I look forward to every day.

I am grateful for the positive feedback I receive from Twitter, Facebook, and the News-Herald comments. I've received some pretty nice feedback comments from as far away as  the Carolina's and even California. Makes an old man feel good. Thanks. Even received a phone call from a close friend of my California daughter, asking, "hey Mr. C. is that you writing those blogs....I read them every day".

Before I break my arm from patting myself on the back I must also acknowledge the comments I receive from those that do not agree with my political views. Rest assure these comments will not dissuade me in any way. I will continue to write on the errors and fallacies of Mr. Obama's policies. I find myself, at times, that these particular negative feed backs allow me a much deserved chuckle.

My wife, children, and grandchildren are the most precious gifts in my life, and right under them is this great country I live in. I will continue to do, speak, and write all this 77-year old body allows to honor this country, and yes I will continue to do, speak, and write against those policies that do not honor and do what they can to advance the growth of this great country. Of course this includes Mr. Obama. Yes, I will continue to refer to him as "Mr.", not President. I will always respect the office of the presidency, but never respect what this man is doing to this great country.

As I've written earlier, I will invoke my First Amendment privileges to do this, as I will welcome the First Amendment rights of those who speak against me. However, I've noticed that with every disagreeing comment I receive I can always count on personal attacks, lies, and blasphemy. I've grown to accept this, but still can't understand why when someone cannot intelligently, with facts, point out their views, they resort to names like "whitey", "supremacist", "old man who has outlived his use fullness". Of course there are names not fit to write in this or any other blog, but my 77 years has afforded me a pretty thick skin.

I find myself this afternoon, as I sit here in my peaceful, melancholy, and benevolent mood trying to understand why people like that feel they are elevating their positions, or themselves for that matter, by degrading someone else. At this moment I actually feel pity for them.  Love and God bless to them; more than those who agree with my blogs.

And that's Politics with Pete for today....God bless our great country....and our troops.

Hey...I'm on Welfare

I just found out I've been on Welfare since I turned eighteen, and joined the US. Air Force. So that means during my four years in the military the paycheck I received every month was welfare from the government. I didn't know that. Is this a great country or what?

Then after an honorable discharge I enrolled in college, and received government assistance for books and tuition under the G.I. Bill of Rights. I guess that means I was surviving on government assistance.  Again, that's welfare huh? Wow.

And now at 77 years young I continue living on welfare, as I receive a monthly Social Security check, and have been receiving it since retirement, for approximately twelve years now. Wow, is this a great country or what?  I've been receiving welfare since I was eighteen.

Wait a minute folks. Will someone explain to me how is our government been able to put me on welfare status for almost sixty years?  I guess it's from hard working Americans that have money deducted from their pay checks, sent to the government, and the government sends out welfare checks to lazy people like me.

Now wait a minute here. Since I was a teenager, up to the age of sixty-five,  I've had money deducted from every payroll check of mine to pay into the Social Security program.  The dictionary definition of welfare is, "Government assistance provided to those who are unable to provide for themselves". Does that mean even if I didn't have any funds deducted from my paychecks for over sixty years I could still receive my monthly Social Security check? Hey, that's what happening now under Mr. Obama's extended welfare plan. Wow, is this a great country or what?

One of my critics claim I have "outlived" my monthly Social Security checks. I think this particular critic failed his seventh grad math class. I've been paying into the program for over sixty years, and have been receiving Social Security for twelve years. By the way thank God for DEMOCRAT president FDR for starting this program. I wonder what the reaction would have been had a Republican president initiated the Social Security program.

While, I don't know if it's true, but it does appear that one particular critic of mine that keeps slandering me for receiving a "welfare" monthly Social Security check, does not have a job that has funds for the Social Security program deducted from their paycheck. I would further guess this particular critic is on the government's welfare program.

It seems individuals that are on welfare are so quick demonizing those of us who proudly paid into the Social Security program for decades. Many Americans pay into Social Security for their entire working life, only to pass away before they are able to collect a single Social Security check. Or some retirees that pass away too soon into their retirement and receive only a small fraction of their entitled monthly Social Security check.

Where does their "unused" funds go? Oh yeah, I know. It goes to people, maybe like my critic, for welfare payments, people who do not have a job. Great country huh? Let's hope Mr. Obama doesn't run out of money, as some economists, and the CBO have predicted, in two years. Then where is your welfare check going to come from? 

By the way, when all else fails from my critics they resort to name calling. I am called a stupid "whitey". Well that is true. I'm 77, and have a complete head of white hair, so you're right; I am a "whitey".  There are many names I can't write here, but another comical name I'm called is "white supremacist". Now there you are wrong. If you were here to watch my wife bark orders to clean the garage, wash the car, etc., etc., etc., you definitely would not attach the word supreme to me.  And every Saturday I go to 4:30 Mass, kneel before my Jesus Christ and pray.
Now does that sound like I'm a supremacist in any way?

I'd like to close today's blog with a comical definition a funny friend of mine just sent me.
The definition of INEPTOCRACY: A system  of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of the diminishing number of producers.

Wish I could take credit for this clever definition. But it really says why 75% of welfare recipients voted for Mr. Obama, and what his plan is for the next four years.

And that's Politics with Pete for today...God Bless our country...and our troops 


 

Free-Free-Free..Gimmee-Gimmee

Recently a well known Democrat, James Carville, who was Bill Clinton's campaign manager, made some very astute observations regarding Democrat voters. I can't believe I'm writing this, but it's one of the very few times I am in complete and total agreement with a high rankingand respected Democrat icon.

I'm sure my beloved critics are going to attack me, and many will believe I fabricated the information in this blog. Let me assure my critics these quotes from Mr. Carville are just too good to make up. Besides, the sources of his quotes are The Word Press, and Amazon.com.

Hard to believe that Mr. Carville's beliefs and what I've been writing in my blogs for a long time go hand in hand, so I'm really expecting, and I'm ready, for a deluge of attacks. Bring it on. This is going to be fun.

Mr. Carville started his presentation stating "80% of people who call themselves Democrats are completely clueless". Right after that Mr. Carville stated, "Ideologies aren't all that important. What's important is psychology".  Right on Mr. Carville, I couldn't agree more.

Another quote from Mr. Carville: "the Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running."  Want some more? From Mr. Carville again: "That's why I became an operative working with Democrats......all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the old cattle prod when a few bolt from the herd".

I love you Mr. Carville. I can't get enough of this. How about you? The reason I'm highlighting Mr. Carville's message is that the main stream media will not report this because Mr. Carville is a Democrat, so I thought I'd give his comments as much attention as possible. Especially when I agree, and they're so right on.   Now, if he were a Republican the media and Mr. Obama would be out to ruin him.

Some more juicy tid-bits from Mr. Carville: "another reason I became a Democrat operative is there were more Democrats that didn't have a clue than there were Republicans....the Democrat voter is basically dumb and lazy, and I can make them think whatever I want them to".

Many conservatives, including yours truly, do not agree with a lot of Mr. Carville's political views, and have a lot of "love-hate" feelings toward him. He is truly a Democrat icon, which makes his observations of his own Democrat party all the more appealing to Republicans. 

If I may interpret Mr. Carville's message, simply put 75% of welfare recipients cast their votes for Mr. Obama. Again, simply put, they were led to believe that their freebie/welfare state would not only continue, but would continue with growth.  Most of theses voters that Mr. Carville referred to don't really care, and can't relate to job growth, national debt, GDP, or most of other issues plaguing America today. They want their freebies to continue, and that's why they are so easy to manipulate, as Mr. Carville so correctly alluded to. 

The welfare/freebie mantra is clearly, "gimmee the free stuff, and tax that rich guy over there, so I can continue getting it...start with my Obamaphone".

A very much deserved thank you to Mr. Carville. You just made a lot of friends from the Republicans, starting with yours truly.

Tomorrow we'll discuss the definition of "INEPTOCRACY". 

And that's Politics with Pete for today.....God bless our country....and our troops
