Are we on the brink of the next crash?

Alright it's time to look at the numbers and the numbers didn't lie back in 2008 when the market crashed.  There are underlying indicators and some that are pretty scary as we repeat history.  I am not by any means a financial expert, but I can see history and from what I can see it's about to repeat itself.  I am attaching an article and now does judge it by the name of the website.  It has a good timeline of events.  

Back in 2008 the price of oil dropped from all time high at that point of around $147 a barrel down to $50 a barrel very quickly and gasoline dropped as well from being in the $4+ range into the high $1 a gallon range. Now gasoline is being sold in the $1.75 range in the Tampa Bay area. Oil is now below $30 a barrel.

I went to Nasdaq and pulled the last 8 years to see the trend and it looks concerning in the drop.  Pretty much same time frame of months of the drop.  Also there are talks globally of a slow down economically and lower demand causes the lower prices as well.  

OPEC wants to cut production to increase prices by reducing the supply.  Now Iran is going to start selling on the open market.  If all producing stays the same get prepared for even lower prices.  

The stock market is also playing off record highs much like in 2008 before the crash where we say around a 50% drop in the market.  

I'm not saying it will happen or when, but as a person that see trends around me this trend sticks out like a sore thumb.  It's up to you to decide and do some of your own research, but from a few factors it is leading to a correction.  All we need now is some really bad economic news.  Maybe it will be the health insurance industry with the government reimbursements or the hiked up tax bills with health insurance being taxed.

What's Next: Health Insurance Credit Scores

With Obamacare starting to affect millions Americans some people are asking can it get any worse?  Well it might just get worse with Health Insurance Credit Scores.  Many Americans do not realize that insurance scores are used not just to buy automobiles, homes, and consumer credit cards, but are also used in applying for home owners insurance and even auto insurance.  Corporations use credit scores to determine risk and the ability to pay back a debt or predict future possibility of future claims.


While preexisting conditions are covered under the new "Affordable Care Act" millions of Americans are getting sticker shock.  While the can find coverage it certainly is not "affordable" as promised by President Obama.  Now insurance companies are being forced to cover a wide variety of coverages and items that are "free" to the consumer.  Americans should realize nothing is free and those "free" coverages under Obamacare are just worked into your premium.


The Health Insurance Credit Score is coming soon to Americans.  The government soon will have more data than ever before.  Even cash paying clients of doctors cannot hide anymore.  Doctors are required to report everything to the government.  The government will have a wide variety of data that it never had before on Americans outside of Medicaid and Medicare.  As you may know the government already had the data on Medicaid and Medicare patients since they are already paying for those people.


The tentacles of the government will have data concerning if you use walk-in clinics, Emergency room care, hospital stays, medications you use, preexisting conditions, DNA profiling, also family history of parents and siblings, income status, marital status, financial credit score, employment status, gun ownership, occupation, and so much more.  They will use these items and others not discussed here to create a Health Insurance Credit Score.  This score could turn into a score that determines your rates all the way to who gets care first "rationing" when the system is under too much stress.


I always say if you can think it the government is either working on it or will be doing it soon.  Millions of Americans may be in denial of what is going on around them by watching "reality TV" while the reality around them is ready to devour them.  Will 1/6th of the economy being taken over by the Federal Government with Obamacare legislation and regulations be prepared for the government to cut off people somehow due to millions more being put on the Medicaid roles by saying they qualify for Medicaid.  Billions of taxpayer dollars being diverted to people that had no idea "they were poor" to qualify for Medicaid.

Will the Benghazi Survivors Please Stand Up

I was doing another nightly episode of my radio show The Matthew Brower Show.  I proposed a question to my co host Chris Miller and to make my listeners and all Americans to think about this.  Where are all the Benghazi survivors from the attack on the United States Embassy?  Where are all the heroic Americans that help other Americans to safety.  How did around 30 Americans survive around 125 to 150 reported armed attackers onto the American embassy?

Can anyone explain how only four people died in this?  How 30 Americans survived this and we are not hearing any heroic stories of American courage to escape the carnage?  I guess we will never hear anything from the Obama administration on this.  I know the same Barack Obama that claimed his administration would be the most transparent administration in the history of the Presidency.  Another failure to launch you could say.

We have pictures of multiple vehicles burning and burnt to the ground and the whole embassy destroyed by mortar fire, grenades, gun fire, and other weapons fire.  Where are the other over 30 survivors of this attack?  It has been months since this occurred and no one is asking the hard question where are they, what do you they know, and why are they being silenced?  There are many questions that have not been answered and this occurred just before a Presidential election.  This would have not played very well if this was correctly portrayed as an actual coordinated attack.

As Hillary Clinton does her best deflection job of not actually answering questions and using her famous "With all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans! Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?"  Well Hillary is does make a difference because we need to know what actually happened here because millions of Americans think you are planning to run for President and millions of Americans see you as unfit to lead.  You left your post as Secretary of State to run away from this to distance yourself from what will take you down.  One question Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration does not want to answer is where are the these 30 plus survivors and did they really survive at all?

So we are being told that only four people died and many of them with no weapons and somehow miraculously escaped after hours of a fire fight with well over 100 armed terrorists.  Senator McCain was demanding a few weeks ago for the Obama administration to release the names of the survivors and it was also reported that the committee formed by Hillary Clinton to interview and get more information on what happened has not even directly interviewed the survivors.  Here is my logical conclusion to all of the information.  The one that the Obama administration and no one in the media is saying.  Those survivors if any did not survive at all.  Just look at the pictures of the destruction, no one coming forward, and no names.  This is much more than a cover up and I will continue to question this on my show and in social media.

Boston Bombing and Crisis in our Nation

April 15th, 2013 marked a tragedy in Boston, Massachusetts with the bombing at the Boston Marathon.  Americans died and many Americans will have to live with the scars of a tragedy that should have never happened.  Now with tragedy we must break down what happened and what did not happen.  I am going to bring up things that many people say wow I didn't think about that or why didn't the authorities think about that.  I will show some pictures also in this blog to give you the visual of what I am writing about.

We have been told that we need "big government" to protect us from the "Boggyman" or what flavor of the week that will kill us all because we did not give up our freedoms for security.  The above image is one of those "Homeland Security" vehicles that are heavy armored vehicles.  The Federal government continues to buy these for the protection of the "Homeland" and did these actual save any lives in Boston?  No, they did not so the government wasted billions of dollars of your money that could not stop the bombs in Boston.  Also, the well over a billion rounds of ammunition that was purchased to protect the "Homeland" and still people died and were hurt in Boston.

Now let's breakdown issues with the venue that should have been considered by organizers and what the "terrorists" saw and planned against these innocent people.  The above picture shows first responders were dealing with.  As you can clearly see this where the first bomb went off and there were barriers to keep people from entering the path of the runners, but the police and other law enforcement were actually in the running area and not on the sidewalk area.  We have to ask some serious questions why did they have metal beams, wood, flag poles and this is probably a good 4 feet or more deep that they had to take several minutes to fight through to get to the injured.

This bomber or terrorist whoever they may be knew this was going to happen.  I did not see any law enforcement in the videos they were not around the blast.  I would think that there would be bomb sniffing dogs, video surveillance  or undercover officers patrolling the area for things out of the normal.  Reports are that duff-ell bags were used for this and these bags were left out on the sidewalk.  Is this not strange to think why no one noticed this?  A lack of law enforcement or just laziness and now you will have politicians and liberal blaming "right wing extremist" before the investigation has got into full force to fine the murderers.

The second bomb was placed around 100 yards away down the street and went off approximately 15 seconds after the first.  The second bomb was not meant for first responders by any means.  It was meant for innocent people that were trying to escape the first bomb impact and also the runners that turned around went in that direction.  This was cold and calculated by this murderer.  These bombs were used in the area that had people trapped from escape because of the man made barrier.  Also, are there check points for bags?  Every time I go to an amusement park my daughter's bags and backpack are checked but this escaped the trained eyes of local, state, and federal law enforcement?  We are practically molested at airports, but this happens here.

Terrorists and murders want to destroy our freedom and liberty and this will be used by politicians to gain more control over the population.  President Obama said on April 15th in reaction to the bombing in Boston "We're at the beginning of our investigation. It will take time to follow every lead and determine what happened, but we will find out. We will find whoever harmed our citizens, and we will bring them to justice." Yet he would not admit it was a terrorist act, but White House staff were leaking it was and I could have told you it was due to it was bombs and multiple bombs.  

President Obama talks about "justice" and I am sorry to say there will be no real justice because this is President Obama we are talking about.  We are still waiting for "justice" for Americans killed in Benghazi terror attacks.  We are waiting for more information on why they were left to die, but President Obama will bring those Boston murderers to "justice."  

Did a drone help prevent the tragedy in Boston?  No, of course not and President Obama did not want to give an answer on if he would use them against American citizens that are "suspected" terrorists.  Not caring about "due process" that is guaranteed in our country.  It took Rand Paul in the Senate speaking for almost 13 hours to get an answer because many Americans don't understand their rights will be destroyed by the "most transparent" administration in history.  Drones are machines of death and to fly them over our country is an act of war on it's own citizens.

Where is the "justice" for United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry?  Where is the "justice" for the hundreds of Mexican citizens killed with Fast and Furious guns that were bought with tax payer money and given to criminals and murderers with no real way to track the guns?  "We the People" of the United States of America are being told that we should give up our guns and the same kind of guns that our government gave to murderers to kill us with?  I cannot trust a corrupt administration that has proven to be the least transparent administration in the history of The United States and continues to tread on our freedoms and claim Executive Privilege to hide what President Obama knows about gun running.

People say "pray for Boston" and I agree, but we should also be praying for "Freedom and Liberty in United States."  Tragedy should not infringe on freedom in our nation.  If that happens tyrants and terrorists win and "we the people" lose.  Stop losing and start winning and vote out these control freaks that use tragedy and crisis to their benefit and to your dismay.

Republican Irony

We have a major issue in the Republican Party right now and it showed it's true colors this week.  The Speaker of the House John Boehner after saying that he would allow the American people to review the deal before voting on it lied to the American people in Nancy Pelosi style politics.  It was another example of late night politics when most people are either sleeping or doing something else like watching football or evening television.  This is becoming the norm in politics now in The United States of America.

The Fiscal Cliff vote included 151 Republicans voting for it and 85 voting against it, but that is just the beginning.  In order to prevent the Speaker of the House from being Nancy Pelosi, we know the Democrats in the House would vote for her solid, a majority of Republicans stuck with the same ole John Boehner.  We got a raw deal in this deal and of course there was pork spending in it.  Why wouldn't there be right?  Put it to a vote just minutes after it is completed so they needed to pass it last minute to prevent a supposed meltdown of our economy.  Just another scare tactic.

Kicking the can down the road is not the solution to fix our nation, but it is the way for these politicians to keep themselves in power.  Once you realize that one day this house of cards will fall and the soon we fix it the better off we will be.  I am realist and see us spending trillions on social programs and other nation's military welfare and we have nothing to show for it.  Just millions more being added to the role of welfare state and our politicians are allowing it rather than stopping it.

Welfare abuse all around us and no one from either parties leadership coming out to admit it.  They keep feeding the sheep more lies and more money to keep quiet.  They are economic slaves and they are alright with it as long as they are paid off.  The economic house of cards it going to fall sooner or later because running up over $3 billion in new debt a day over a $1 trillion in new debt a year and that is in a year!  How can anyone in their right mind not see that is unsustainable?  Apparently we have millions of Americans from all economic classes, races, sexes, and religions simply do not understand there is a problem.  I hope and pray that there will be an awakening of either a new party that represents the American Dream or common sense for that matter.

Welfare and Government

Alright we are living in a time of ever expanding welfare.  The welfare state is so screwed up you qualify for more welfare if you are already on another welfare program.  Case in point is if you are food stamps you can get a government supported cell phone with several hundred "free" minutes, "free" texting, and "free" long distance.  Freebies all around them and the government continues to hook people on the handouts with more handouts if you are already on handouts.  Wow must be great to have no motivation to get a job because the more you get the more you qualify for.

Here is the thing that people don't realize that is going on.  Our government does not really care if you are poor or not.  Let's be honest if they did they would give you basics like food to make sure you do not go hungry and give you food directly and not a EBT card.  The EBT card that people use in some cases to get cash for them.  Once you give someone something and do not check up on them anymore things can get out of control.  Crab legs on EBT?  My family doesn't eat that good.  Buying junk food on EBT and not eating healthy on my taxpayer money is insulting.  Not only that when their health declines I have to pay for the Medicaid because they did not take care of themselves.

Driving through town and seeing satellite dishes in the government housing is insulting.  You mean you can't afford housing and need taxpayer subsidized housing, but you can afford satellite t.v.?   Sounds legit right?  My wife and I work hard and when I say hard we have our regular full time jobs and own our own business also.  We work to provide for our family, but it seems that people are o.k. to take handouts while my family gets robbed by I.R.S. gunpoint.

If you have a car or even a car payment for that matter and you are on food stamps that is theft from the taxpayer.  You can afford a car, but you can't feed you or your family?  I have to call that out and say stop the fraud.  Another fraud is people on Medicaid when they do not take responsibility by having more children than they can not afford.  Having children out of wedlock and continuing to get child tax credits for having more of them and not having any intention of giving them a decent life other than government welfare is wrong.  No matter the race of the person it is happening everywhere.  Let's face it we are all humans and people are people and there are people that are out to take from the government and could care less about you or me.

It is time to fix the welfare state in this country.  Get rid of the fraud and make people earn what they get.  Allowing people to get handouts with no intention of getting a job or getting off welfare.  Why would they want out of it to be honest.  The government has continued to make it easier to get more handouts be staying exactly where you are at by being poor and dependent on the kindness of the government.  The government is not your friend and this nation was not founded on handouts.  We have allowed this to happen by electing
people that care about power and not people.  The government handout is not compassion it is economic slavery and if we don't vote out the enablers and turn this around very soon we will see the implosion of our economy under the weight of welfare.

Our charities, non-profits, and churches are going to suffer as the government continues to tax more people to fund this welfare state.  The food banks and soup kitchens are going to be pushed harder as the middle class and even rich are hit harder with more taxes and regulations to deal with.  Soon the government will push them out of business so the government will have less competition.  We have to face it the government does not like competition so just regulate it and tax it out of business.

Twinkies, Jobs, and Government

This week we found out that Hostess made the decision to close it's doors due to the baker's strike.  Common sense would say you can't sell baked goods without bakers right?  So the baker's union and the bakers were warned if they started a strike the company would shut down operations started a strike anyways.  The Hostess company maker of the famous Twinkies was already in financial trouble before the strike started.

The irony of all of this is what troubles me.  The baker's union bosses and their officials still have jobs even after 18,500 people lost their jobs.  These bakers decided to ask for more when the company already warned that they could not give more and actually had to cut back.  I guess the management of Hostess wasn't bluffing when they said they would close their doors.  Now 18,500 people lost their jobs because they listened to the union that did not lose their jobs.

Even if Hostess survived the baker's union strike it would not be long until Michelle Obama and the food police shut their doors anyways with either regulations or new taxes.  The food police are coming for your snacks and you can't have any fun, but the government will provide your birth control and government mandated insurance.  The scary part is we need jobs and the government in it's all might wisdom saves certain industries while others are allowed to die off.  I am in not favor of bailouts, but the irony of President Obama being for the middle class and for union workers is not accurate.  See what just happened?  18,500 mostly middle class jobs gone due to unions that give mainly to Democrats.  I guess President Obama and his administration were not coming to the rescue of Hostess, these middle class jobs, or these union workers.  They were used for a reelection campaign and they got a pink slip because of it.

In an economy where since President Obama's reelection has companies announcing layoffs of 10's of thousands or workers pretty much as soon as the results are in is troubling.  Troubling is that these companies in order to survive have to shed these jobs to either get under the amount of employees on staff to not get hit as hard under Obamacare or simply to keep their doors open with less employee overhead.  The promise of "Forward" and the utopia society is causing many middle class workers to lose their jobs while Washington politicians have exempted themselves and other donors from the same Obamacare fate.

Remember the government is not creating jobs they are destroying jobs with crippling regulations, taxes, and mandates.  Why stay in business when you can just give up and get on the government handout bandwagon.  Here is another thought about the bakers from Hostess.  Where are they going to find jobs in their field that they have been working in and get around the same pay and benefits?  The answer is they probably won't since many companies will not hire people at higher salaries starting as new employees and the benefits forget about it in this economy.  Good luck finding a job much less good benefits especially health insurance.

Obamacare and Non-Profits

Many people know that Obamacare is a disaster and will affect millions of people directly through higher taxes and penalties.  There is one issue that many Americans do not realize and will be a direct result of Obamacare and what you may ask that is?  Obamacare is going to destroy the non-profit sector in the United States of America.

Many Americans give to non-profits, charities, and churches to help their local communities.  I am one of those Americans that gives out the generosity of my heart because I feel local money and local decisions get better results because we understand the needs of our own communities.  The problem of Obamacare is that it is going to hurt many people that give to non-profits.  If you get hit with an additional $3,000-$4,000 tax bill because you have a good health insurance or you don't have health insurance so you now have to pay a penalty you start to look for ways to cut back.

Americans will look for a way to cut back so they can afford rent, mortgage, car payment, insurance, and utilities and that list goes on.  Non-profits are going to suffer, but the government did not tell you that did they?  The government machine does not want you to know that non-profits will suffer and will give government more power to give away your hard earned money to groups and people that you did approve of giving your money to.  The government wants to squeeze out non-profits without saying it or doing it directly so why have Obamacare do it for them.

Churches will suffer also in not only their gifts from their congregations, but also for food banks and other help they provide for communities.  The government does not like competition so the squeeze is on, but if you are in the leadership of the church you can't speak out or face losing your non-profit status.  Ironic isn't it?  It's like trying to be in business against a company that can print money and borrow money on an almost unlimited basis.  Irony in this situation is dangerous to our local communities and non profits.  The government continues to acquire more power over our paychecks and now non-profits are in danger of being put out of business.

Many non-profits get matching funds from private companies or even government funding, but they must meet certain fundraising goals so without the private money coming in they serve less people and the government creeps in again on the non-profit sector.  Now private companies will be hurt on their bottom lines with Obamacare.  Many are starting to announce layoffs and positioning themselves to make a profit so soon you will see many companies cut charitable givings to survive this Obamacare nightmare.  Remember elections have consequences and this is one of them.

Is it Time to Reinvent the GOP?

The question after the loss in the 2012 Presidential election is that is it time to reinvent the GOP?  Many people in the media are saying the the Republican Party needs to change with the times.  I agree in a way with this and have thought of this for a long time. In order to win elections you need a majority of the votes in the election to win right?  So it's time to get more people in the Republican Party and time to change leadership to make that happen.

The leadership of the Republican Party tow the social issue line on abortion and while I do not support it this social issue turns people away even though you may agree on most of the issues in our country.  While abortion is seen as something that is terrible to many Americans and even other Americans may not agree with it, but are not willing to try to overturn Roe v. Wade because women will try to get abortions even if it is against the law.  It should be safe for women that get them even though you do not agree with it.

I have a view on this and many Americans may have the same view, but are not as willing to say it.  While I do not support abortion and it is legal at this time women that have this procedure done have to answer to their God at the end of their lives.  We have free will in our lives and if someone chooses that option then they will have to live with that decision for the rest of their lives.  While the Republican Party is talking about overturning the decision by the Supreme Court it scares people to the Democrats because of this social issue.  Let us practice our religion and our beliefs, but not scare away people that are fiscally conservative and want to be on our side if it was not for this issue.  In addition our tax payer money should not be used for abortion since that is an elective procedure.

The Republican Party needs to do a better job selling conservative economic values and the value or work.  If conservatives want to get the government out of the welfare business we need to get more involved in our communities so the government is not needed to prop up millions of people.  Republicans have for decades allowed the government to expand the welfare state and have not spoken up to get churches, non profits, and charities more involved in taking care of social issues at the local community level.  Many politicians either want their name on a building, a piece of legislation, or be popular rather than doing the tough job of keeping our country out of a nanny welfare state that will eventually collapse our economy.

The Republican Party needs to be more welcoming to gays and lesbians.  I know this may be a shocker to many people, but you probably know a gay or lesbian, but they have not come out yet.  It is time to be welcoming to these people and treat them as Americans instead of a sexual preference.  In regards to gay marriage I do not thing gay marriage should be in this nation and I will explain why.  Marriage was created as a religious institution and should remain that way.  The government started to adopt it and started to make money on it with fees and taxing it.  If you get married that should be in religious and if it crosses over to the government it should be considered with the government as a civil union.  Gays and lesbians have civil union rights in many states and if they choose that then they have made their choice.  Civil unions are the answer since many religious groups do not want "marriage" involved in the issue.

I have been a Republican for many years myself and it is time to be more inclusive in the party if it is to survive.  We are Americans and it is time to band together to save our nation from a financial collapse.  Because if our nation collapses under the weight of social welfare and bad economic policies then we all lose.

Voting is the Best Revenge

Link to the Obama Revenge video

On November 2nd President Obama's reelection campaign went off script again and now the President is asking people to for vote for "revenge."  Let's first look at the definition of revenge that I reviewed it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge and it shows "Revenge is a harmful action against a person or group in response to a grievance, be it real or perceived."  The anger of the Obama campaign is now reaching its peak as revenge.  Revenge from what you may ask?  What has Mitt Romney done to Barack Obama or the American people to invoke revenge?  Seems once again President Obama is desperate to get votes so when a crowd boos Mitt Romney he has to invoke the word revenge.

President Obama has accumulated another $6 trillion in debt, unemployment rate at 7.9% for those actually counted and that number is not a real indication of show bad it really is.  That 7.9% number is a number that does not include under employeed, people that have had their unemployment benefits run out, people that took part time work, or those people that have given up looking for work.  Those are what President Obama will not touch and why would he right?  Running on his record would not get him reelected at all, but he has to use people with "revenge" as a motivation to vote for him.

President Obama has showed anger in this election along with his Vice President Joe Biden.  President Obama cannot run on Obamacare because many of the taxes and fees are about to start and he doesn't want the election to be about that accomplishment.  That is why he continues to use Big Bird, Elmo, and now revenge.  A person running from his record will try to deflect attention from what really matters.  The debt is out of control and the President is not telling us how he will get us out of it with real answers.  Saying I will cut some here and tax the rich over there is not reality.  It is playing politics as usual, but with class warfare this time.  Demonizing success is not American, but this election is about The United States of America and the future of our nation.

The future of our nation is on the line and not an angry President deflecting what the issues are.  Over 47 million people on food stamps and over 15 million of them are added on his watch.  Why does he ignore this and not address it?  He doesn't want to remind people on how he expanded the social welfare state and has no plan to get people off of food stamps and allows the USDA to continue expanding the program with more Chinese debt.  President Obama wants to have people on government assistance and if did not he would not allow it to expand this much and would have not laughed at the not so shovel ready jobs.  Spending all that money for nothing and laughing at it.  Our economy is not a joke, but this election is about revenge.  The President is out for revenge, but on who?  

President Obama and the Campaign Ad

Link to the Obama campaign video

Once again the Obama reelection advertisements set new lows.  This time using children to push their agenda of madness.  Throughout history propaganda has been used to influence children since their so impressionable so why not use children in this way.  Trying to get parents guilt vote this year because the President can't stop campaigning while Americans die in the name of progress for this administration.

President Obama has acquired over $6 trillion in new debt in under four years, but the President is not asked by the media what have the American people bought with all of this debt?  Are there any fixed assets for this money that was spent or will these children in this video be the butt of the joke for some more not so shovel ready jobs as the President laughed at.  The President of the United States of America Barack Obama laughed at wasting a Trillion dollars on jobs there were not there.  He wasted our children's futures on a bet.

I just want to break down this little gem of an ad.  In this ad the kids say "and lots of Chinese stuff" so I propose this question to the Obama administration that is way to scared to answer anything of substance.  How about those trillions in Chinese debt to fund this social welfare experience?  We are drowning in Chinese debt right now so don't try to play off the real Chinese debt problem.  Debt is dangerous to a free society because someone has to pay and economic freedom drives a nation or can bring it down when it is limited.

Also, it wouldn't be an Obama ad without bringing up Big Bird.  The President is desperate to win and cannot run on a record of success.  President Obama continues to pander to people to get votes without explaining all of the failures of his administration.  Failure of 1 in 6 in poverty, an additional 15 million on food stamps and plan to get them off of it, and $6 trillion in new debt and nothing to show for it.  The President has failed and he is using children because he is absolute desperate to win and won't accept he has failed.

President Obama said if he can't get this turned around in three years then it would be a one term proposition and now he asking for more time.  More time for what Mr. President?  More time to go over $20 trillion in debt after you promised to cut the debt by half.  More time after you promised to lower unemployment to around 5%, but we have this falsified 7.8% unemployment rate that does not include people that have run out of their unemployment benefits, dropped out of the labor force because they cannot find work, or they have part time work and are not counted as underemployed.  The President has failed and his vision of "Forward" will destroy our nation.  So we must move "Forward" without Barack Obama as the President.

You're First Time

The infamous Obama supporter losing her voting virginity to a great guy.

Link to the Obama campaign video

I saw a video that was very concerning to me and other Americans.  This video is a typical left wing democrat attempt to say women should vote for another four years of President Obama by saying I will give your more free stuff.  Free stuff is not truly free first of all.  Someone has to pay for your way and that is theft by the government by the I.R.S.  Theft by extortion because if you don't pay your taxes you can be penalized with interest, more penalties, and even jail time in some cases.  

Free birth control is not a right.  If you are going to engage in sexual activity no one should be paying for your birth control except yourself.  You want to do the "deed" it is on you to pay for your own.  I am absolutely tired of this so called "war on women" because if you want to do something go ahead and earn it.  Get a job with good health insurance to pay for your birth control or find a company that offers birth control as an option in their insurance programs.  You don't have a right to my money to get your freebies.  Another leftists that is willing to vote for someone to take from someone else's family.

Free healthcare is another item that is not really free.  Taking money from my family to support someone else that is not willing to get an education or job training to get a better job is wrong.  That is called communism.  Taking from one group to give to another group without earning it is simply wrong.  Take personal responsibility and do better for yourself.  Save money in case if there is an emergency.  Get a job that has good benefits and stop counting on someone else to pay for your way.  One day and that day is coming soon, when there will not be enough other people's money to go around, not enough Chinese debt to fund it, and people will stop trying to do more because the motivation for many will be gone since more and more of their money is being taken away.

President Obama is simply trying to deflect his record of $6 trillion in more debt and nothing to show for it.  At least nothing that President Obama wants to brag about.  The President continues hide what happened in Fast and Furious when Americans and Mexicans died with guns bought and given away by the United States government to drug cartels.  President Obama will not answer to why we did not try defend our embassy in Libya and allowed four Americans to die and won't come out and called it for what it is and that is a terrorist attack.  It is time to vote out President Obama and get people back to work so they can get their own paycheck instead of a welfare check and stop this social welfare experiment that has failed and put our nation's financial security in jeopardy.

Food stamps and Parties

Recently there have been reports that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is giving us fresh new ways to put people on welfare. This case it is food stamps which are also known as EBT or SNAP.  You know the government needs to create new names in order to make the stigma of food stamps to go away.  The USDA is a part of a corrupt government that is willing to promote the welfare state rather than promote a work or career driven state.

Now, the USDA wants people to throw a party!  How about a party to promote the USDA and their ever increasing food stamps program. Over 47 million Americans are on it so what is a few million more right?  It seems like that the government programs continue to grow faster than the jobs market.  So why not join in on the giveaway and not get a job.  If you make too much income you can't enjoy the benefits of the welfare state and you have to start paying for other people's food stamps and government welfare.

Evidence in a FDLE investigation on food stamp fraud.

Sure food stamps ,once upon a time in a land and time far far away, were meant to be a temporary program to help those in need.  Now it is a generational program handed down through the generations no matter what race, age, or sex you are.  Educating others on the benefit of freebies has been perpetuated by the government.  Radio, television, and online advertising saying if you are on one government benefit you could qualify for another.  More taxpayer dollars and borrowed money (borrowed time with Chinese debt) to fund the welfare and nanny state.  Why get an education, job, or have any personal responsibility when the government is willing to prop you up?

Get more welfare by calling.

We have a $16 trillion debt in this country, but we have more government programs expanding so how are they going to pay for it?  More Chinese debt, print more money and create more inflation, or raise taxes are the options.  None of them look pretty as options and having a valid conversation about it can make you look like a jerk when liberals say you don't care about people.  Caring about people is charity and this government is not a real charity.  Wasting trillions on an Utopia welfare state has failed and the "War on Poverty" has failed.  Sometimes you have to admit there is a problem in order to fix it.

This election season start thinking about our future.  A future when people have jobs and if you work you can provide for your family and help those in need in your community.  The USDA continues to perpetuate a welfare state where you can buy junk food on food stamps, use cash benefits to take money out at strip clubs and casinos, and retailers can commit fraud also to abuse the system.  The Founding Fathers envisioned a nation of free people that could take care of themselves.  Now, we have a government that takes care of millions.  

Michelle Obama and the Flag

Link to Michelle Obama video

Recently I saw a video that was just disturbing to me so I had to share it.  The video just shows how much Michelle Obama respects the flag of the United States of America.  Her love or dis-love for the flag for that matter.  The President on several occasions has shown his lack of respect for the flag that he represents as the President of The United States of America, now we have a lip reader that captures Michelle Obama showing how she feels.

The other disturbing thing about this video and is the approval of the President nodding to her.  He approves of what she is saying.  Once again another off script and off teleprompter moment in the Presidency of Barack Obama.  It took someone on Facebook to bring this up to me because the mainstream media won't expose this to the light of day.  The American people deserve to know Michelle and Barack Obama's real feelings about our nation and how they want to fundamentally change it forever.  Just another reason to vote Barack Obama out in November.

Michelle Obama's "All this for a damn flag" comment shows no respect for the flag of United States of America and what it stands for.  It stands for freedom, hard work to keep our republic free, and the people that gave their lives to keep us free.  Apparently Michelle Obama does not care about the freedom loving Americans and just cares to keep her lavish lifestyle in the White House on the taxpayer dime.  This November 6th it is time to send a message to Michelle and Barack Obama and to the American people that we are done with this administration of hating on the flag and our values that made our country great.

Make sure to get out and vote and share with your friends and family why we must change direction before it is too late.  We are a nation that has had it's struggles, but it is time to come together to fix it without the government taking over industries and taking our rights.  We still have the ability to vote and remove our representatives peacefully in our nation.  Use it before we could possibly lose it.  God Bless our flag and God Bless The United States of America.

Elmo and the White Suburban

Link to President Obama Video

President Obama was in San Francisco this week and wanted to make a joke at a campaign rally.  Of course this joke that President Obama wanted to make was not on script or teleprompter.  The President in his almighty wisdom wants to be somewhat funny, but all he did was make many more American's wonder why he continues to try to make jokes while millions of Americans are suffering.

Let's break it down the President's joke about Elmo and the White Suburban.  The joke was meant as a comeback to Mitt Romney's statement in the debate that he will cut funding to PBS if he is elected as President this fall.  President Obama said that Elmo is driving to the border in a White Suburban.  While many people think it was an O.J. Simpson joke I really feel it wasn't at all.  San Francisco is very well known as a sanctuary city for illegal aliens.  The driving for the border by Elmo is just another gaff by the President in a well known sanctuary city.

Second, let's break down the White Suburban comment that the President made.  Another hidden meaning in this case.  The President is talking about white suburban people.  Think about the words in a sanctuary city talking about driving for the border and mentioning a white suburban vehicle.  The suburban a well known soccer mom vehicle in the suburbs of America.  Words have meanings and he used that white suburban comment off script and off teleprompter once again showing his true thought process.  

Third, many people may or may not be aware that Elmo's voice is actual done by a Kevin Clash who is an African American puppeteer and voice actor.  Don't think the President did not have has this on his mind when he used Elmo.  Why not use Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, or any other character for that matter.  The President made a decision to use Elmo in this case.  We must watch our politicians very carefully and the words they speak because you can get a glimpse into what they are thinking when they are off script or teleprompter in this case.

Why would President Obama be so specific in picking a "white suburban", "Elmo", "driving to the border", and of all places in San Francisco a well known sanctuary city known for protecting illegal aliens.  This break down of his statement can be very revealing into the mind of President Obama.  The President is known as a very well educated person so we have take him at his words right?  It is time to listen to the President and figure out the meanings of his words and I figured out his words as soon as he said this statement.  Watch the video and you will see what I am saying.  He was trying to figure out what to say and those were his words.  

The election is fast approaching and it is time to use our education and make a choice for the direction of The United States of America.  I encourage you to learn more about your candidates for President.  This election is important for our lives and future generations.  

President Obama and his tweet

I was reading on twitter this morning and saw a "featured tweet" from President Obama. It's always nice to see how twitter thinks I want to know what President Obama wants to say (being sarcastic). Even though I don't particularly want to know what President Obama says I always want to know what the competition is up to.

I saw the tweet from President Obama of @mattbrower26: “@BarackObama: This election is too important to sit out. Register to vote before it's too late: http://t.co/gBOYqdtn” so I just had to retweet it! I did retweet it, but I included my own little message at the end. It was just one of those moments where you want to thank the President for giving you something you can use. I put "vote republican" on the tweet. It's just my public service to our nation.

After President Obama's less than spectacular debate results this week he should definitely regroup. Just tell us what you believe in. Don't candy coat it, but tell us how you want to change out nation forever with millions out of work and joining the welfare roles. A Marxist is a Marxist no matter how you spell it. His actions as President and his past show it. Sealing your records along with your wife's records is not the transparency we were looking for you. It is time to show us the items you are hiding so the American people can to know you little better!

We must vote on November 6th and show the President we are done with this fantasy Utopia society he is trying to create will destroy our nation! You have run out of money and time. People are suffering and you are running around on talk shows while we have Americans giving their lives on our borders and in other nations. They are giving their lives in vain for a President with a vanity problem!

Coexist

Alright I am sure by now you have seen these "COEXIST" bumper stickers.  I know we all love going to theme parks or watching fantasy movies and this bumper sticker is the ultimate liberal fantasy.  Fantasy is o.k. as long as you are not in danger.  The danger my friends is the danger of letting your guard down and living in a fantasy world.

While most religions of the world tend to be peaceful and welcoming there are always the exception to the rule.  Sure while many people would like to live in peace some religious fundamentalists want to control people rather than letting them live free and make decisions for themselves.  We have many nations in the Middle East that are not willing to "COEXIST", but we have liberals that continue to live in the fantasy world that everyone will get along.

As long as we have theocracies in this world that are willing to hurt people and hurt people just because of the religious beliefs we cannot "COEXIST."  You can never "COEXIST" with someone that wants to kill you because of your beliefs.  A great example of this in the Middle East with Iran vowing to wipe Israel off the map or the terrorists willing to send their children with bombs to kill innocent people on buses, restaurants, and other public places.

We must remember a bumper sticker cannot change the world.  A bumper sticker will not change the minds of those that want to harm you, your family, your neighbor, and other innocent people.  You must always realize there is evil in the world and there will be people that are willing to harm you so go ahead and have your bumper sticker and live in a fantasy world and hopefully you will not be harmed by extremist that will have no problem harming you.

Christian and Democrat

I saw this in the Lakeland Ledger newspaper in it's October 2nd, 2012 edition.  When I saw this opinion piece and it's title I just had to read it, even for it's comedic title.  I am going to give you little break down of this opinion piece because I feel this person is definitely on the wrong team in terms of political party.  Not all political parties or people are perfect, but this has to be addressed.

This person outlined why she is a Democrat even though she is a Christian.  The first bullet says she believes in what the Bible says about homosexuality and abortion.  So you believe those are wrong, but you willfully show your support for a party that actively support these practices.  This person is willing to vote for a President that once did share your belief in marriage between one man and one woman, but he all of sudden evolved his beliefs in an election year?  As for abortion the President and his Democrat Party support abortion on demand rather than practicing personal responsibility by not sleeping around and taking precautions to prevent pregnancy.  If you vote for this then you condone it because it is what they talk about and support.

Next, she believes in the Bible telling people to help those in need.  So the government should just take whatever it deems necessary to help those people it believes that are in need of your money?  This is the backwards thinking that has allowed our nation to be taxed so hard to buy the loyalty of those on welfare.  The Bible did not say for the government to take to become a forced charity and if you don't pay your forced charity gift you could end up paying fines, penalties, or even jail time.  If you truly believe in helping people then give out of the kindness of your heart and stop forcing people by taxing them.  Once again some personal responsibility would be great and also allowing non profits, charities, and churches to get involved with helping people on a local level to get them to a better place.  The government is not interested in you personally, but only filled with people ready to get power and keep it.  Local issues require local people to step up and do the right thing and get government out of it.

She also wants to talk about freedom.  I believe in freedom in our great nation so let's talk about freedom for a moment.  President Obama and the Democrats said you are going to be able to keep your doctor with Obamacare.  Many doctors are already not taking new Medicare and Medicaid insured people because the reimbursements are too low and not cost effective to keep seeing these people.  So keeping your freedom of choice for doctors is not true under that insurance plan.  Let's also talk about freedom in general.  If you have freedom to do everything then why have laws.  Supporting the Democrats freedom grab in healthcare if wrong.

If you feel the Democrats or the President are on the side of Israel you are wrong again. President Obama preferred to be on The View rather than meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The President is more concerned with keeping his power rather than meeting with the only true democracy in the Middle East.  The President is not being tough on Iran and it's leaders that have publicly said they want to wipe Israel off the map.  That is the President and the Democrats in action.

Finally, the Bible does not tell us to follow leaders that are not following principles that we do not believe in.  Many times in the Bible Christians were killed because they would not bow to false idols or false gods.  The Democrat Convention had a part where people actually "boo" God.  Really this is the party that shares your Christian beliefs?  The nanny state of providing for people that do not take responsibility for their own actions.  A party that removed God from it's platform at the start of the convention you feel shares your Christian values?  The question at the end of the day is what is the price of your freedom worth because freedom has different definitions especially with this woman in Florida.

Theft of a Nation

When someone steals from you or your family you call the police right?  But who do you call when the government steals your money to give it someone else?  Well that's when you need to call upon great American's to run for political office to stop the theft of the American people.

It is time to bring back citizen representatives again in our political process.  We need to focus on people that not only will promise to do the right thing, but when they are under pressure from their political party or special interests they do not buckle and break their promises to those that voted for them.  Promises are just that promises and we have allowed too many politicians to break them, but we continue to reelect them.  We not only reelect them we elect them to higher positions to acquire more power and the ability to take more of our money.

When I interview candidates I ask them questions on my radio show.  I want to hear them give their thoughts on the issues and allow people to decide for themselves.  I allow them to share what they would do to turn things around in their local communities, states, and our great nation.  We don't have much time left to turn this around so we must be educated on who will lead us into the future.  The future decisions that will not only affect us, but will affect generations to come is coming so be prepared to make educated decisions when choosing our elected officials.

This November you will be choosing people to represent you, your family, friends, and neighbors.  I hope and pray that everyone that goes out to vote did their homework.  Homework is something that most people dreaded in school, but now we must do our homework or our nation will fail it's greatest test.  The greatest nation on the face of the Earth can go down in history like many other great civilizations.  Will you be one of those that allowed this to happen?  I hope not so do your homework and tell others to be educated on the candidates because the consequences can last beyond your lifetime.

Politics and Religion

Alright the title says it all and that is something that so many people say that you should not talk about. Politics and religion are those touchy subjects that people say not to talk about around the dinner table, around strangers, or at work for that matter.  So I guess our country has been taught that discussing the hot issues of the day might "offend" someone and you might just be carrying about a "brown box" from work.

It is truly sad that we live a in supposed free nation where the exchange of ideas was once one of the great things that separated us from the monarchies or the dictatorships of the world.  The United States of America has been molded into a nation of keep your mouth shut before you offend someone.  Well guess what?  Keeping my mouth shut offends me because our nation is failing because we can't talk politics or religion for that matter.

We cannot point out that extremist countries in the Middle East are "holding onto their guns and religion" while in our country President Obama made fun of Christians that believe in the 2nd Amendment and their religious beliefs that they hold dear.  Maybe President Obama should go to Mecca and go ahead and give his holding onto your guns and religion speech and see show that works out for him.  Now, that I have pointed that out, maybe I will be on the list of people that are on President Obama's attackwatch.com list.

I believe that we need to have the tough political discussions while we still have time to do so.  We are approaching an important Presidential election and need to talk about what issues face our nation and who is going to be "our leader" to get us out of this economic situation.  Don't get me wrong the President does not control the entire economy, but the President is the face of our nation and the world is always watching what the President is going to do or not do for that matter.

If you don't talk about religion I can understand since we do not live in a society that will kill you for not being with the "state sanctioned religion," but it is time that we discuss the issues that are affecting us in politics.  Politics surround us and we need to talk about the issues of the day before the issues we are talking about are $10 a gallon gasoline, $10 milk, and how we remembered the good old days of the 2010's.  It can happen my friends.  We must work on electing people that will turn this around.

A debt that has passed $16 trillion dollars and the President will not acknowledge it on late night T.V.  Ignorance is not bliss especially when our nation borrows over $3 billion a day to pay for our government to run welfare programs that we simply cannot afford, wars that we should have won years ago, and inefficient government that our politicians prop up with Chinese debt and inflation by printing more money.  The House of Cards if almost falling down and it is up to us to start talking about politics now before it is too late!
