Left And Right Politics

Today Governor Sara Palin (R) of Alaska has announced that she will be resigning as of July 26th. This comes as a surprise to many Americans as well as political analysts.

She has decided not to finish out her first term as Governor of the state of Alaska. In a new conference in her home town of Wasilla, she stated “We know we can effect positive change outside government at this moment in time on another scale and actually make a difference for our priorities,” “I know when it’s time to pass the ball for victory.”

Palin, 45 was put in the spotlight after Senator John McCain nominated her to be his running mate. Throughout the campaign she was disrespected and insulted by the main stream media. From the way I see it, the Democratic party as well as candidate Obama felt threaten by her.

Unfortunately, this latest move might be the end to her political career. Leaving the Governor’s office after only fulfilling half of her term might make it hard for the Republican party to consider her again fro a national position. I could be wrong since politics and politicians have never thought logically.

Whatever Sara Palin and her family decide to do in the future, I want to wish her the best for them.

Unless you’ve been too busy or live under a rock in a far away place, You are aware that last Friday Congress voted on the Cap and Trade bill (aka, cap and tax). The bill is designed by the Obama Administration to basically tax everything that emits carbon. If you’re thinking that this bill is aimed at big business and the energy sector, you’re only half right.

This will tax everything. That includes flatulent cows, that’s right cows that pass wind. It doesn’t just end there. the truck driver who drivers the cow to the slaughter house. Let’s not forget the wrapping the is needed to package the meat. All the different processing plants that are needed to get the meat to your plate. Everyone of them will have to pay higher taxes to the government because of the carbon dioxide that they produce.

If you think that won’t affect you, you are dead wrong. It’s a known fact that these costs will be passed on to the consumer.

All in the name of global warming. That’s right we are going to be taxed more to help save the entire planet from a chemical that is a basic necessity for the world to survive. The global warming concern is nothing but a political move to redistribute wealth. Many African countries don’t have an infrastructure system and don’t emit carbon emissions, so counties like America (especially the U.S.) will have to buy the carbon credits from those countries, henceforth wealth distribution.

I expect that type of planning from the Democrats but to see Republicans join the crusade is not. The final vote was 219-212 for the bill. There were eight Republicans that voted for the bill. We need to send a clear message to those eight members of Congress that helped the Democrats raise our taxes. The only way to do so is to call them and let them know that we will not contribute to their campaign because we aren’t going to vote for them.

Here are the names and phone numbers to their office. There is time for them to change their vote and if they want any chance of being re-elected, they will have to do so.

Bono Mack (CA) 202-225-5330
Castle (DE) 202-225-4165
Kirk (IL) 202-225-4835
Lance (NJ) 202-225-5361
Lobiondo (NJ) 202-225-6572
McHugh (NY) 202-225-4611
Reichart (WA) 202-225-7761
Chris Smith (NJ) 202-225-3765

Remember that when you call them to inform them of your dissatisfaction, you must state that you are a contributor. If you don’t, they really don’t care what you have to say (which is a whole other story). They only care about their campaign fund and their own wallets. Which is another reason why we need to vote all of them out when they’re up for re-election.

Since President Obama has taken on challenge of running for office, he’s been shown obvious favoritism from the main stream media. Only FOX News Channel has been negative towards Obama in any way. I will say that they(FOX) are very against the current Administration.

It now gotten to the point where the media is outright in the open with their relationship with Obama. ABC will be airing Obama’ speech titled “Prescription for America”. The purpose is for him to explain his plans for nationalized health care. While reading the Drudge Report, I found this article about how ABC won’t let a organization buy some air-time after the broadcast so they can give an alternative viewpoint. You can read it for yourself here.

I also heard today how Obama will be “making his rounds” on many different shows to get his health care message out to the people. Of course he’s being selective of who will be broadcasting it. One of the ways he’ll be doing so is by having some sort of involvement with the show “Dora the explorer”. That’s right, a cartoon. It has been stated that FOX will not be given that option and the reason is because o the fact that FOX is not a financial network. All of this is still being hashed out and I will continue to follow this atrocity.

Today General Motors has filed for bankruptcy. After the American taxpayer has given them billions a pond billions of dollars. So now GM will be known has Government Motors and we as shareholders will not see anything in return for our investment.

The UAW has secured their future. The UAW along with Mr Gettlefinger will have 6 members on the board of GM to make decisions. As for the union worker, many of the plants will be closing down without any sign of them to ever re-open. I guess most of them won’t mind since it’s written in their contract that they will receive 80% of their salary while they’re out of work. Too bad all Americans can’t have that arrangement, stay home and do nothing and make at least $50,000 a year.

How is the company to ever get back on track and get the government out of it’s business if money is being handed out in such a manner?

The saddest part of this bankruptcy, is that none of the plants in foreign counties will be closing. If President Obama is trying to help America, then why isn’t he (since he is the CEO) closing those plants? The Mexico plants are going to be building the American cars for the American people. I presently own two GM vehicles and I don’t plan to buy another one when I trade them in. One of them (Pontiac Grand Prix) is no longer being built at all. AS for that matter, no more Pontiac will be built. The name is going by way of Hudson and Studebaker.

If anyone still feels that Obama is looking to help America, please seeking psychiatric treatment. Obama has no intention to help anyone except his friends who helped get him elected. The decisions he’s made in this matter of the GM bankruptcy, shows us exactly that.

Last night CNBC had a program on hosted by Maria Bartiromo titled The Future Of Capitalism. The show had a panel of “experts” for a meeting of the minds. I have to say that some of the guest had more to offer than others.

The panel consisted of Larry Fink, the Chairman of Blackrock, Shelly Lazarus, the Chairman of Ogilvy & Mather, Vikram Pandit, the CEO of Citigroup, Marc Morial, the CEO of The National Urban League, Mohamed El-Erian, the Chairman of PIMCO, Cliff Asness, Chairman of AQR Capitol Management and Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE. I expected the show to be enlightening, but as the show went on that was not the case.

It was evident that many on the many on the panel didn’t want to rock the boat with the government (namely the Obama Administration) by saying anything negative against it’s policies. Jack Welch was the most interesting and honest of them all.

Throughout the show they touch on many key topics that are in the news today in regards to the economy. One of them being the fact that we are in a crisis of governance not credit. I do agree with that statement, but no one on the panel would even go further into the subject.

The one thing that did not sit well with me was the comment that was made by Marc Morial which was that capitalism needs to be reformed. As Larry Fink said, capitalism is not broken. Capitalism is what built this country to what it is today. Our constitution is based on that principal. Morial also stated that capitalism needed to be shared equally by the people. I disagree with that statement since capitalism is based on a person’s effort to work hard and strive for more. It’s not something that is just given out.

We are in an age of leverage, an age of entitlement as well as an age of self regulation. Unless we as a country live a moral and honest way of life, we will not remain the super power that this great notion is known for. We can not live outside our own means, we are not entitled to anything that we didn’t work for and we should only regulate ourselves if we can remain honest and have morals.

What we need more of is less government involvement and less taxes. We do not need government and private business to come together, what we need is government to stay out of the private sector.
