The deficit hits an all time high, 1.5 trillion dollars. Obama sets another record. This just happened after he sugar coated more spending by calling it investing in the future. After two years of stifling innovation he now touts his plan to encourage educational endeavors an innovation. His message was to get back to what this nation is known for, innovation. His record spending and health care expense uncertainty has brought this nation to a crawl in so many ways. Many may give him credit for extending the tax cuts. These cuts can only do so much considering after two years they are scheduled to go back to socialist style rates. It takes years for the corporate sector to invest and see a return. Two years only helps the those already in production. If I had a billion two spend on a new plant I would think twice. By the time it was up and running the taxes would be back to record high rates again.
Obama taught me early on to watch his left hand while his right puts on a show. He has reportedly teamed up with world bankers. One of which is George Soros. Soros make billions betting against nations currency. Obama is supposed to work for us. Does he?

The following is an email I received from “Townhall Spotlight”.
Dear fellow Patriot,
Gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently announced the Obama Administration will be working hand-in-glove with the UN to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.”
Disguised as an “International Arms Control Treaty” to fight against “terrorism,” “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates,” the UN’s Small Arms Treaty is in fact a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.
I’m helping lead the fight to defeat this radical treaty in the United States Senate and I want your help.
Please join me by taking a public stand against this outright assault on our national sovereignty by signing the Official Firearms Sovereignty Survey.
Ultimately, the UN’s Small Arms Treaty is designed to register, ban and CONFISCATE firearms owned by private citizens like YOU.
So far, the gun-grabbers have successfully kept the exact wording of their new scheme under wraps.
But looking at previous versions of the UN Small Arms Treaty, you and I can get a good idea of what’s likely in the works.
If passed by the UN and ratified by the U.S. Senate, the UN “Small Arms Treaty” would almost certainly FORCE the U.S. to:
*** Enact tougher licensing requirements, making law-abiding Americans cut through even more bureaucratic red tape just to own a firearm legally;
*** CONFISCATE and DESTROY ALL “unauthorized” civilian firearms (all firearms owned by the government are excluded, of course);
*** BAN the trade, sale and private ownership of ALL semi-automatic weapons;
*** Create an INTERNATIONAL gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION.
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that this is NOT a fight we can afford to lose.
Ever since its founding 65 years ago, the United Nations has been hell-bent on bringing the United States to its knees.
To the petty dictators and one-world socialists who control the UN, the United States of America isn’t a “shining city on a hill” — it’s an affront to their grand designs for the globe.
These anti-gun globalists know that so long as Americans remain free to make our own decisions without being bossed around by big government bureaucrats, they’ll NEVER be able to seize the worldwide power they crave.
And the UN’s apologists also know the most effective way to finally strip you and me of ALL our freedoms would be to DESTROY our gun rights.
That’s why I was so glad to hear that the National Association for Gun Rights is leading the fight to stop this assault on our Constitution!
The truth is there’s no time to waste.
You and I have to be prepared for this fight to move FAST.
The fact is the last thing the gun-grabbers at the UN and in Washington, D.C. want is for you and me to have time to mobilize gun owners to defeat this radical legislation.
They’ve made that mistake before, and we’ve made them pay, defeating EVERY attempt to ram the “Treaty on Small Arms” into law since the mid-1990s.
But now time may not be on our side.
In fact, we’re likely to only have a few weeks to defeat the treaty when they make their move.
And we definitely don’t have a President in the White House who will oppose this treaty.
So our ONE AND ONLY CHANCE to stop the UN’s “Small Arms Treaty” is during the ratification process in the U.S. Senate.
As you know, it takes 67 Senate votes to ratify a treaty.
With new pro-gun champions joining me in the Senate, rounding up enough votes to kill this thing should be easy, right?
Unfortunately, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Even with the Republican tidal wave in November, there still isn’t a pro-gun majority in the Senate to kill ratification of the treaty.
You know just as well as I do how few Senators are truly “pro-gun.”
Not only that, but many Senators get “queasy” about killing treaties for fear of “embarrassing” the President — especially with “international prestige” at stake.
They look at ratifying treaties much like approving the President’s Supreme Court nominees.
Remember how many Senators turned their back on us and voted to confirm anti-gun Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor?
A dozen more only voted against Sotomayor after receiving massive grassroots pressure from the folks back home.
So if we’re going to defeat the UN’s Small Arms Treaty we have to turn the heat up on the U.S. Senate now before it’s too late!
Do you believe the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Second Amendment are the supreme law of the land?
Do you believe any attempt by the United Nations to subvert or supersede your Constitutional rights must be opposed?
If you said “Yes” to these questions, please sign the survey the National Association for Gun Rights has prepared for you.
Your survey will put you squarely on the record AGAINST the UN’s Small Arms Treaty.
And along with your signed survey, I hope you’ll send a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or even just $35 or as little as $25 to help finance this battle.
With your generous contribution, the National Association for Gun Rights will continue contacting Second Amendment supporters to turn up the heat on targeted U.S. Senators.
Not only that, but they’re preparing a massive program to launch the second this treaty is brought before the Senate.
Direct mail. Phones. E-mail. Blogs. Guest editorials. Press conferences. Hard-hitting internet, newspaper, radio and even TV ads if funding permits. The whole nine yards.
Of course, a program of this scale is only possible if the National Association for Gun Rights can raise the money.
But that’s not easy, and we may not have much time.
In fact, if gun owners are going to defeat the UN’s Small Arms Treaty pro-gun Americans like you and me have to get involved NOW!
So please put yourself on record AGAINST the UN’s Small Arms Treaty by signing NAGR’s Firearms Sovereignty Survey.
But along with your survey, please agree to make a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or even just $35 or $25.
And every dollar counts in this fight so even if you can only chip in $15 or $20, it will make a difference.
Thank you in advance for your time and money devoted to defending our Second Amendment rights.
For Freedom,
Rand Paul
United States Senator
P.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced the Obama Administration will be working hand in glove with the United Nations to pass a new GLOBAL, “Small Arms Treaty.”
If we’re going to defeat the UN’s Small Arms Treaty we have to turn the heat up on the U.S. Senate now before it’s too late!
Please return your Firearms Sovereignty Survey and put yourself squarely on the record AGAINST ratification of the UN’s Small Arms Treaty.
And if you can, please make a generous contribution to the National Association for Gun Rights of $250, $150, $100 or even just $35 or $25 right away!

After taking two days and conferring with two lawyers, I have decided to write the following comment on the tragedy in Tucson. Mrs. Giffords can now move her arms and legs and amazingly breathe on her own. Equally amazing is the shooter, Jared Laoughner, also is breathing on his own. I blame him for the shooting. He pulled the trigger on all the victims. End of debate.
Oh, there is some image of an American map with shooting targets on it? You mean this one:
If you notice there are 19 other “targets” on that map who did not suffer a horrific tragedy. Two of them are in my home state of Colorado. But before I get off on a tangent on what this kind of speech means, let’s examine the “toxic rhetoric” from the left that may have actually led to such actions. “If they bring a knife, we’ll bring a gun.”-President Obama. Well I have documented on this site that Obama is a word bender. When he said “we” he meant the left and when he said “they” he meant those who disagree with his policies. And Gabrielle Giffords did disagree with his border security policy.
She called for the deployment of the National Guard and more Border Patrol agents to the region. Giffords claimed victory when the Obama administration allotted 1,200 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border and dedicated about $600 million to add technology and border agents.The 8th District’s border with Mexico for years had no permanent checkpoint. “We had a wide-open gap, like ‘enter here!’” Giffords said, and Tucson was a magnet for smugglers.When the Border Patrol announced a permanent checkpoint near a densely populated area in Santa Cruz County, local residents objected. Giffords formed a group consisting of business owners, residents and environmentalists that worked with the Border Patrol on a compromise to move the checkpoint six miles south.-(H/T Congress.Org)
Mrs. Giffords tried to play in the middle. Which is what the President said at memorial service. She was willing to compromise, Jared Loughner was not. And when does one deranged lunatic get to dictate what I can say, where I can take my gun, or even own one, and handcuffs the media from reporting real news. Mrs. Giffords’ recovery (God Bless) is news. Christina’s donations that save the child’s life is Boston is news. Jared Lougner is not. I do not feel sorry for him or blame any sociological impact to him.
He read Marx-from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. He read Hitler-Jews are to blame for everything, final solution and world domination by Germany. It looks to me that Gabrielle Giffords was not left enough for him. He wanted more government and Mrs. Giffords was seemingly saying that more government is NOT the answer. Disclaimer: I do not speak for Rep. Giffords and the view previously explained is opinion.
There is noway I believe that Mr. Loughner ever saw that map. He probably spent most of his time on HateAmerica. com (I hope that is a made-up website) and stewed over everything that he disagreed with his Representative on and it boiled over into last Saturday’s horrific event. Sarah Palin is not to blame for this, because the kind of rhetoric she engaged in is similar to both parties. There is no link to Rush, Sean, Beck, or Levin a.k.a talk radio. Because I seriously doubt he even knows who these people are.
Jared Lougner was living in a left-wing echo chamber that proposed that some are not doing enough to advance the cause. Though I believe that cause is destroying America, apparently Mr. Loughner thought the left was destroying the America he envisioned.
God Bless your recovery Representative Giffords. My prayers go out to all involved.

Folks, a few days ago, I found out about the winner of Miss America 2011. Her name is Teresa Scanlan, a previous winner of the Miss Nebraska pageant. She is a 17 year old girl, making her the youngest winner of the pageant in over 80 years. Those are the basics. Now, why am I comparing her to Sarah Palin? Well, for starters, she comes from a small town and is a person of Christian faith, like Sarah. Another thing is that she aspires to become a lawyer, judge and possibly a politician, basically making a leap from pageants to politics, like Sarah. And finally, she believes that security of our nation comes first! Sounds like an aspiring conservative to me. So, what do you folks think? Personally, I am thrilled about it, and I wish her the best of luck for whatever is in store for her future in politics. BTW Sarah hasn’t mentioned anything about Teresa, but I bet that she is VERY proud of her!
