Isn't it funny, in a very sad way, how the liberals are latching onto the Wall Street mess to further their ambitions?
They have very poor memories of just who created this stink bomb and when.
Now, every liberal candidate is out beating the drum to pin the blame on Bush.
At the same time, they have insisted on a pork- laden mess of a bill, but now call it "Financial Rescue" instead of a bailout. More than 80% of the American people responded negatively to the bailout, so the Masters of Semantics (Congress), renamed it to something they thought was more palatable(yuk!)
Of course, the new Rescue had to contain things like cash -blink of an eye- to Detroit (!?)to encourage auto makers to do what they do anyway; engineer automobiles.
Money for education and solar energy, biofuels, and mental health coverage on par with medical coverage. Of course, the liberals want it to fund unpaid mortgages for the "poor" as well.
What have these things to do with Wall Street finances?
NOTHING!
The sad part is, this bailout is itself a gamble. There is no proof that putting the taxpayers on the hook for the irresponsibility of others will even work!
Yes, bail out the small, honest lenders that have hung on to their own mortgages. But not the reckless Vegas- like mob on Wall Street or the people who never should have been given loans in the first place. These are two segments of society that don't pay taxes anyway, and now are about to get taxpayer bailouts.
And oversight for the plan? Laughable! The same clowns who watched this mess unfold before their very eyes are the same ones charged with oversight now. It borders on criminal.
I urge every one of you to contact your senators and congressmen in Washington to rebuke them for once again failing to listen to their constituents.
This bandaid approach will be costly and, I believe, make this pain last even longer than it should.
Cavuto said it best: "In capitalism, some people are supposed to fail."

Duck and Run
In local campaigns, it's time for some debates; on TV and on radio.
David Allan Pundt, our Republican endorsed candidate for House Seat District 12A, will face off against current DFLer John Ward on radio station 3Wi (95.9 fm locally) Wednesday, September 3rd at 9:00 a.m.
It should be quite interesting and entertaining to hear Mr. Ward squirm in his chair when pushed about the out- of- control spending preferred - and voted upon- by the DFL majority in St. Paul.
For instance, Ward's support of the DFLiberal Gas Tax Bill increase during some of the most trying economic times we have seen in quite a while is difficult to justify. He claims the money is for "roads and bridges" but forgets to mention the loads of cash going to light rail.
Yessir, we get to bail out, then re- fund, an amusement ride for the Twin Cities.
Just what Crow Wing County residents need......
Then there's the issue of legislators putting another constitutional amendment on the ballot to allow themselves to raise their pay, their per Diem, AND pay themselves $1200 a month ALL YEAR LONG for their housing subsidies! Not bad for a 3- 4 month per year job. (Sarcasm intended.)
If we, as a voters, pass this amendment, the DFL won't ever have to ask us for the money again. It will become automatic, by law!
We, as voters, MUST vote this amendment down in November, along with the other amendment, the Dedicated Funding for Conservation and the Arts.
Both are nothing but DFL reasons to stay in your wallet -by law- for ever and ever.
I can't wait to hear John Ward try to mumble out of this!
TUNE IN 9/3/08 9:00 a.m. on 95.9 fm, 3Wi radio!
More debate info to come!

You Decide
I think the protesters at the RNC in St. Paul portray the vivid differences in the two parties, their members, their objectives, and their ideologies.
For example, just how many windows did you see smashed in Denver during the DNC by rampaging Republicans?
Just how much pipe bomb making material was confiscated from conservatives in Denver?
How many stored gallons of human waste were the Republican supporters in Denver caught with?
How much literature was printed by the Republicans in every conceivable language promoting protest and hatred, not to mention offering to bus those agitated people to the DNC?
You get my point.
The liberal agenda is not about saving America. It is not about unifying America. It is not about making America better, or safer, or stronger, or more intelligent.
It is about anarchy. It is about taking control of the United States of America and turning it into something none of us will even recognize as American.
Change. What kind of change?
Hope. Hoping for what?
Look at the actions of supporters for the Democrats. Look at what their ACTIONS say about the liberal agenda.
You decide what kind of America you want for yourselves and your grandchildren.

Conservatives: COME OUT OF HIDING!
Where have you been, conservatives? Enjoying the lakes, the warm weather, the sun?
GREAT! Good for you! This IS the time of year we all live for and dream about.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but THERE IS AN ELECTION COMING.
Yes, yes, I know; the State Fair hasn't even started yet. But by golly, you can bet your asses that the Democrats have not been sitting on their bums sun- tanning!
It is TIME to start thinking about the future of America. The one we all take for granted when we sit in lawn chairs with a cold one, enjoying the weather and our company and families.
Victory in November has HUGE ramifications this year; this is possibly the most important election year in United States history.
There is so MUCH at stake. Not just who is the controlling party, but the ideology of our national history, culture, and heritage rests with this election.
Come on, conservatives. What the hell are you waiting for? GET MOVING! GET INVOLVED! GET YOUR CHECKBOOKS OUT!
Are you waiting for the day when we can get together and reminisce about freedom????

Time To Call A Spade A spade...
John Ward, State Representative for District 12A, has been lining his pockets --- ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE MINNESOTA HOUSE- with more of OUR tax dollars.
Seems Johnny and his buds at the capitol decided they needed raises.
They gave themselves raises in per Diem (money per day) from $66 to $76 dollars per day.
OK. Fine. I have no beef with per Diem's.
But Johnny and his pals decided that they shouldn't have to show any PROOF
for what they claim they spent (ie., receipts, or vouchers.)
No big deal, except that if you and I want to claim something as a deduction for an expense, we need every shred of evidence as proof, up to and including a blood test to prove we spent it.
Why are John Ward and his DFLiberal pals allowed to skate, taking our tax dollars without proof of pain or misery on their part?
OK. that's bad enough on its own.
But John Ward and the DFL legislature ALSO voted to give themselves a year- around housing subsidy of $1200 per month- - - EVEN WHEN THE LEGISLATURE IS NOT IN SESSION!
Can you imagine that? When John wants to take his best gal to a Minneapolis play in November, YOU get to PAY for his apartment! Who CARES that the legislature is NOT IN SESSION?
These clowns are raking in $31,000 for a PART- TIME JOB of 4 months or less, PLUS $14400 for their housing!!
Plus $77 per day spending allowances without having to show receipts!
This truly IS Minnesota Welfare, but not the kind you and I ever imagined or anticipated.
Tell ALL your representatives NOW that you will NOT STAND FOR THIS WASTE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS!

John Edwards....
My my, John. It's so amazing that you, as a liberal mouthpiece for morality, have been caught with your pants down, so to speak....
You say, "My wife and my Lord have forgiven me, so I will move on."
You forgot about US, John. WE haven't forgiven you, and you will NOT just "move on," despite your fervent wishes.
Another liberal phony, two- faced liar exposed.
Here's the FUNNY part: John claims that during the last two elections, he has become self- centered and narcissistic......
The Breck Boy has ALWAYS thought he is another 'God's gift' to mankind.... just like the other Messiah threatening our freedoms.

Perceptions and Truths
I have been rather amazed recently reading on-line posts and comments to news stories by many Americans in general, but especially the readers of the Brainerd Dispatch.
So many of them seem to labor under the impression that President Bush has led the United States into a recession and a deficit.
Must I remind these astute readers/ posters of their 8th grade Civics Class lessons?
The President does not spend ANYthing. He does not write ANY bills. He does not write ANY laws.
The Congress, in general, has that dubious distinction, and the House of representatives in particular, when it comes to appropriations.
The President can but sign a bill or veto a bill.
So when talking with your friends and neighbors, gently remind the liberal- leaners of just who spends the money of America, and just who is responsible for our current tax and spend nightmare.

Still More Questions About Obama:
Why is it that when Barack Obama's chief fund-raiser is CONVICTED of fraud, money laundering and bribery Wednesday after a trial that exposed a corrupt culture of payoffs and campaign finance abuses plaguing Illinois politics, (and not just charged, in today's litigious society) the media merely reports him as "A political fund raiser?"
After this and all the other events, like his ministers, why aren't more Americans asking questions about Obama's moral fiber, background and associations?
Because he is black?
Untouchable?
Allegedly charismatic?
I don't get it.
If this were John McCain, the American media would be publishing his obituary by now.
OK. So we all KNOW the media is against Conservatives.
But what aren't Conservatives more vocal in their demands for truth, fairness, and balance of information?
Get vocal, folks.
WRITE letters and emails to your local newspaper editors. WRITE to your Congressmen and Senators. WRITE to your Governors.
DEMAND truth and full disclosure.

It's Time
It's time for Conservative America to unite. Time to defeat anti- Americanism once and for all. Time to defeat Obama and the socialists.
It's time to unite behind John McCain.
I know. That may be a bitter message for some Republicans to swallow. But it is TRUE.
The day for us to individually back Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Guiliani, Thompson, or whomever, HAS COME AND GONE.
Do we need or want to look like the democrat fools who keep bickering, lying, and trying to manipulating their OWN party system? Of course not. I say lying because Hilary said she didn't even care about delegates from Michigan, "Because they broke the rules." NOW she wants them. NOW she is bitterly complaining the "party" has stolen her delegates and given them to Barack Hussein, even though he didn't even CAMPAIGN IN MICHIGAN.
We are, and should be, above that kind of crap.
In Rochester, we came together in unity for our Party. Let's keep the momentum going.
It WILL be a tough fight.
After all, the opposition is offering FREE living.
But we all know that free is a misnomer at best, a lie at it's worst.
It's time to put aside differences and stand behind the Grand Old Flag.
It was put best at the convention: There are two things that are the greatest threats to America.
1. an unsustainable fiscal policy.
2. the Islamic fundamentalist.
BOTH Hillary and Barack miserably FAIL in addressing theses issues.
There is but one clear choice when it comes to the threats to America:
JOHN McCAIN.

Brainerd Disgrace
I read, again, this Sunday in the Brainerd Disgrace, er, I mean, the Dispatch about the terrible woes of the schools here in town. Closings and the like.
Because the Referendum Failed.
The referendum failed???
Don't you mean the School Board failed to correctly use their finances? That they spent money that did not have?
That they failed to comprehend that the average citizens cannot live beyond the teacher's union's means?
Get over it.
The public voted and the School Board was exposed as the money- grubbing institution it has become.
It's for THE CHILDREN.
My ass, it's for the children.

Election Reminder
As the Minnesota Legislature closes their session, PLEASE remember a few things:
1. Thanks to the DFL -led legislature, we have been saddled with the largest tax increase in Minnesota history.
2. We went from a $400+ million dollar surplus to a deficit approaching a billion dollars. (yes, a billion.)
3. Time has been wasted by the DFL on bills which do NOTHING to improve ANYTHING, but limit your abilities to make decisions; nothing more than a series of shows of CONTROL over you lives. THE MORE YOU GET USED TO SMALL, KNIT- PICKY THINGS, they feel, THE EASIER IT WILL BE FOR YOU TO ACCEPT TOTAL DOMINATION OVER YOUR LIVES.
4. We are paying all- time high fuel prices, and now compounded with a new state gas tax increase. Why? Because the DFL got caught with their collective pants down. For 30 years THEY have neglected roads and bridges in favor of meaningless and costly social engineering programs, benefiting few, costing all.
5. LIGHT RAIL will never benefit Brainerd in your childrens' lifetime.
6.Remember who has cost you what, and what little you have to show for it other than fewer freedoms.
7. Most of all, REMEMBER THAT ALL OF THESE DFL CLOWNS ARE UP FOR RE-ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.
Vote them out just as quickly and surely as you can.

Seaparation Of Mosque and State
Back from an extended vacation and other commitments, but here goes:
If the current situation with the Muslim school in Inver Grove Heights isn't a wake- up call to all of America, I don't know what is.
This school is run by Islamic fundamentalists.
Fine, OK.
But they are using PUBLIC EDUCATION (with matching public funds) to teach Islamic law, including mandatory prayer time for students. ON the campus. IN the school.
Where the hell is the *&%$&**! ALCU NOW?
Why is there no public outcry from those legal haters- of- America, who decry the very MENTION on God in public U.S. schools?
Nowhere to be seen.
If this does not clearly paint the agenda of the socialist left, nothing does.
I urge you to DEMAND of your representatives and senators to STOP this flagrant violation of Minnesota law.
Remember the words of Teddy Roosevelt, who said we welcome anyone to America as equal Americans. But ONLY if they abandon their old countries and EMBRACE America as their one and ONLY new home, with ALL of their loyalties to America.

Thank You, Representative Bachmann
Michele Bachmann made it clear where the problem lies with the US House of Representatives not voting on the Intelligence bill, which allows the government to monitor terrorist phone calls in real time. She has challenged Nancy Pelosi publicly to explain why the measure has not hit the House floor.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, displaying an appalling abuse of power, decided that the measure simply would not get to the House floor. Period.
If it cannot even be voted on, it couldn't possibly pass.
Pelosi has done this in spite of the fact that even her fellow liberals have supported the bill as essential to America's security.
She decided it wasn't.
What gall! What a disgrace!
Better yet,
What can we do to remove Pelosi, this enemy of the state, from office? She is personally acting in a way that places American security in grave danger.
Aren't there laws against treason? Seditious Acts? Something that can be done to stop these kinds of traitorous acts?
I urge each and every one of you to contact your U.S. Representative, (http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml) and ask them to demand an appearance on the House floor to vote on this bill. Pelosi may be the Speaker, but she cannot be allowed to act as dictator to all of our Representatives.
We must act, America, before it is too late.

Great Editorial
Please go to this link for an excellent editorial that appeared today in the Bemidji Pioneer. It really spells out the actions of the DFL- controlled Minnesota Legislature very clearly.

Be Careful What You Ask For............
Endlessly, we hear ObAma chant that it's time for CHANGE in America.
Well, since 2006, things have changed, but not the way we'd like them to.
For instance, consider this:
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) Democrats assumed the majority in both houses of congress ( the 2006 newly- elected officials sworn in 1/2007)
With the Democratic Congress we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) the cost of regular gasoline is over $3.08 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate
(stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for "change" in 2006 (per Pelosi and Reid), and we got it!
How much more "CHANGE" (now, per Obama) can we stand? How much more of this type of change do we want?
At the local level, people like John Ward and his socialist cronies have decided that you still have too much control over your money. He has, in the last few weeks, seen to it that a larger portion of your money and your decision- making ability has been stolen from you.
The liberal agenda for change is the kind we need to firmly, uniformly, and absolutely reject.
Now, in November 2008, and forever.

Dems Lose Further Credibility- (if that's possible)
The dems want a couple of do- overs, it seems, in Florida and Michigan.
The DNC earlier this year said that both states would be punished if they insisted on moving up the dates that they held their primaries.
Well, both states did it anyway. The punishment was supposed to be the loss of their delegates to the National Dem convention.
Geee whizzz- guess what?? The DNC now wants to SEAT those delegates, somehow, someway.
Talk about a paper lion! Really good teeth, DNC.
Of course, Hillary is all for the idea now, even though she agreed earlier that those states should lose their delegations.
What a phony bunch of two- faced hypocrites.
Same- same, every one of them, from John Ward to Margaret Kelliher to Amy Klobuchar to Nancy Pelosi to Hillary and barack.
Does that sound mean?
Tough.

Of course, Hillary is all for the idea now, even though she agreed earlier that those states should lose their delegations.
What a phony bunch of two- faced hypocrites.
Same- same, every one of them, from John Ward to Margaret Kelliher to Amy Klobuchar to Nancy Pelosi to Hillary and barack.
Does that sound mean?
Tough.

AG Office and Unions
I see headlines and stories detailing the mess at the Minnesota Attorney General office.
Apparently the Assistant Attorneys General want to unionize the office. All previous Attorneys General have resisted the urge to unionize, including, to her credit, Lori Swanson, the current DFL A.G.
The largest union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, has been trying for quite a while to organize the Assistant A.G. group.
Great. Just what we need.
Another union pulling the strings of political motivations for state attorneys.
As if lawsuits by the State of Minnesota didn't already have enough political motivation behind them!
At the heart of any union you will find a hotbed of socialism. Unions routinely and completely preach a message of socialism to their members under the guise of "collective bargaining" and "social progress."
You think that message doesn't trickle down into their members' politics?
Unions have become obsolete in modern times. They have outlived their usefulness. They have become nothing more than vehicles of socialism.
The teachers union and AFSCME included.
For those of you who feel offended by my remarks, just look at what UNIONS have done to our educational system in Minnesota. Just look at what they have done to lower the competency level of teachers. To lower the quality of what and how our children are taught.
Keep the unions OUT of the Attorney General office.

Oberstar Gets a New Hip
Jim Oberstar recently had surgery for hip replacement.
I suspect his old one failed under the weight of all the graft and pork he had been carrying in his pocket after so many years as a liberal Congressman.

The Math About DFL Tax Increases
This is a piece written by a friend of mine from Crosslake, MN.
Used with permission.
Based on what I can find and read on the Internet, and based on my math, we find the following:
The BIPARTISAN efforts and hard work of the United States congress, after studying and analyzing the current economic situation, decided to send approx. $150,000,000,000 (150 billion dollars) to U.S. taxpayers. The bill was approved by president George Bush. IRS estimates show that 130,000,000 (130 million) taxpayers will receive a check from the IRS. (130 million families/individuals paying taxes as compared to a US population of 302 million people, or 43% of the US population constitutes a taxpayer/family.)
This means that each taxpayer/family will receive, an average of $1154 as a rebate from the IRS to stimulate the economy.
At almost the same time, the partisan, DFL controlled legislature of Minnesota, after studying and analyzing the current economic situation in Minnesota, passed a "transportation bill" that increased taxes by $6,600,000,000 (6.6 billion dollars.)
Governor Pawlenty vetoed it, but the democrats and six moronic Republicans made it law by over-riding the veto.
This increase comes from a combination of increased gasoline taxes, a sales tax increase and an increase in vehicle registration fees and excise tax on new vehicles.
Since the population of Minnesota is 5.5 million, and using the 43% figure to calculate how many tax payers/families there are in Minnesota, we find that 2.36 million taxpayers/families will be saddled with this new burden.
That works out to $2796 per MINNESOTA taxpayer/family.
So we owe the democrats and the 6 turncoat Republicans that voted to overturn Pawlenty’s veto, a huge thank you (?)
Not only did they nullify the federal government's effort to stimulate the economy by "stealing" the rebate from all Minnesota families, they exceeded even this by forcing and expecting all of us to pony up an extra $1642 each, on top of it.
So much for improving the economy in this state.
How is it possible that the Democrats and turncoat Republicans in the Minnesota state legislature can even consider, let alone pass, a bill like this, especially after the governor's veto?
Are they better informed, or do they have better judgement than the BIPARTISAN wisdom of the Congress of the United States?
Do they think we live in a different country and economy?
What country do they live in?
All Minnesota tax payers, please remember this in November.

This Just In
Sounds from the Crow Wing County Republican Convention indicate that there will be another GOP challenger to DFLiberal incumbent John Ward for our State Representative.
GREAT!
You see, Mr. Ward, among other blunders, had the "courage" (?) to give us a tax increase- the largest in state history- during one of the worst economic situations we Minnesotans have faced for some time. It's time to show Mr. Ward just how we feel about his "gifts" to us.
Pretty hush- hush on the GOP candidate's name, but watch for more news later this month.
Time to take back Minnesota. Time to take back America.
Stay tuned...........
