DuckTales's Blog

Its been a while since the last time The Duck posted anything here AND this will be A VERY LONG READ.. Sorry about that folks, there has been a lot of introspective going on at The Duck Pond and with this, a lot of research as to what is presented this time.  I will, in advance, apologize for the "LONG READ"", but hope, in the end, you will consider the time spent well worth your while.

During the 1950's and early 60's "Dragnet" , starring Jack Webb  as Detective  SGT Joe Friday...Los Angeles Police Department, was one of the most popular TV shows around. In each and every show over the course of its popularity, there was one line which was always heard... "Just the facts... Just the facts".  While the looming November presidental election is most certainly NOT a TV show, this line stands out as the very essence of what is required, espically in the case of Barack Obama, in order to make at least a semblence of some kind of informed,  intelilgent decision.  From seemingly out of nowhere Obama appeared as a presidential canidate and now, unless something earth shattering occurs,he  will be the Democratic Party presidential nominee.  The problem with Obama is not just his total lack of experience in all of  todays most critical areas such as national defense, national secuirty and most certainly, ecomonic policy. The problem is one of mutiple unknows as well as what  little is known.  FACT...Not fiction.

What is unknown.. ?  Too much. Things like where he stands on the vital, central issues of our times. The War on Terror... Iran and its nuclear intentions.. North Korea and its possession of and probable intent to use, along with Iran should its lunatic "president" and council of mad mullahs aquire them, such weapons of mass destruction on nations such as Isreal.. A nation by the way, which this Iranian madman says.. "Will be wirped off the earth".  The ever present and growing problem of this Republics total dependency on oil from nations like Saudia Arabia.. Kuwait and Hugo Chevez in Venezula.  The need to establish our independence from these and other nations who hold The United States constant hostage to their whims.  The "price gouging" practiced by oil speculators, NOT the oild companies, who are directly responsible for the high cost of a gallon of gasoline at the pump.  The list goes on and on.   FACT...Not fiction.

What we DO know... We DOKNOW where not only Obama, but the entire Democratic Party stands on the issues of increased taxes, increased useless spending, weaking the US military, appeasing terrorist and the nations who sponsor, train and fund them .. Obama is the "proud" so-sponsor of The Global Poverty Act...The senate bill  which would turn over to The United Nations .2% of this nations GNP (Gross National Product) without any oversight, accountability, congressional inquiry or scrutiny... Give the most corrput, anti-American and useless organization on this planet HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of US Taxpayers DOLLARS.  Were this bill to pass, and be signed into law by President Bush, it would turn over to the UN, based on the 2007 GNP, $EIGHT HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE BILLION (Yeah BILLION with a "B") DOLLARS.  This would amount to an INDIRECT PER PERSON TAX on EVERY MAN, WOMAN and CHILD in The United States, of $1800 ANNUALLY.   FACT...Not fiction.

The creation of a " FAIR PROFITS BOARD" made up of "members of Congress" whose "job" it would be to determine how much profit "Big Oil" could make and if in their  "judgement" they deemed this too much.. STEAL the excess and put such funds "to good use" (Ie: fund pork barrel "earmarks" to "buy" votes).  Supposedly this "oversight" wouid only be toward the oil companies.  Yet, how long would it be before such powers would be used aganist each and every business...  every individual in this nation?            It was Woodrow Wilson and THE DEMOCRATS who "sold" the national income tax to The American People by staying it would be levied ONLY on The EVIL RICH barrons of the northeast.. !!  Government and Congress have an unquenchable thrist and constant hunger for other peoples money (ie  YOURS and MINE) and once this so called "oversight" board starts stealing, there will be no end in sight to its greed.   Everything from the oil companies to Little Johnnies lemonaide stand on the corner will become fair game.  If thats not bad enough for you.. How bout you personally?  Do you think, for one gigasecond, it will stop there?  Think again.  It will not be far down this road before every working person in this nation, blue and white collar alike, will come under its "supervision"..  Get a raise for hard work.. The "Fair Profits Board" will have to revue this first and if, in their considered opinon, its too much.. Well then, by George, they will just  "STEAL" what they consider  to be in excess of "your needs"... Afterall, THEY know far better than YOU how to spend YOUR money..  FACT... Not fiction.

How about nationalizing the oil companies?... Another plan put forth by DEMOCRATS this week.  Just let the federal government take them over, run everything the same way they do all government agencies...?  Yeah, right.  We all know just how efficent anything government becomes involved in really is.  If you think the price of gasoline is high now.. just wait.  Should government take over the oil companies, you havent seen nothing yet!  The cost of everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING will skyrocket.  From a gallon of gas, a loaf of bread to milk will see massive price increases such as this nation has never experienced.  Just look at whats happening right now.. And by the way, all this talk by THE DEMOCRATS should sound damn familar... Afterall, Jimmy Carter took many of the same steps and just look at Chevez and Venezula.. Food riots in the streets.. shortages of everything from gas to building materials.. Then there is NORTH KOREA.. a nation which cannot even supply its own people with sufficent food to exist.. Not to mention such "luxuries" as gasoline, heating oil, natural gas AND of course rice.  IRAN.. same thing.. another nation who "nationalized" oil companies and now has an ecomony going in the toliet... Which brings us to Putin and Russia. Things there are going from bad to worse. Putin "nationalized" YUKOS...The Russian National Oil Company...   Now, this once thriving, prosperous and profitable company can't even pay its own workers with any regularity.  Things here, in the United States, will not turn out one bit different should THE DEMOCATS have their way.   FACT... Not fiction!

Both sides of the aisle agreed to the enforcement of our immigration laws yesterday. La De Dee... They agreed we need to start arresting and immediately deporting all illegals found to be "wandering" around.  Well you don't say..!!  Wandering around..?  Just what is this supposed to mean?   Nearly two thrids of the illegal population in this nation are "wandering around".. They pocess bogus or stolen social security numbers, "green cards", drivers licences... assume one false idenity after another... create billions of dollars in credit card debt, home and auto loans, with absolutely no intention whatever to honor these obligaitons.  This whole thing is nothing more than election year theater preformed for the benefit of The American People in order to try and con us into thinking both sides are proenforcement.. In reality its just another chorus of "The Potomac Two-Step"...     FACT... Not fiction.

One of Obamas and the Democrats chief "talking points" has been and is the implementation of  "Universal Health Care" much on the same model as which now exist in France, Canada and Great Britan.  ALL of which are TOTAL  FAILURES.... FAILURES bleeding HUNDREDS of BILLIONS  of DOLLARS from their citizens each year and which return damn near nothing.  That cause doctors and other medical professionals to flee in droves due to almost proverty level salaries and too much government interference and regulation of the medical profession.  They tout such a program as "Free" health care.  Free... Uhmmmm....?  What would be "Free" about it...? In reality, this so-called  "Free" program has an estimated annual cost of somewhere between $$$ FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY and $$$ SIX HUNDRED BILLiON DOLLARS $$$..(Yeah AGAIN.. BILLION with a "B")  And just where does Obama AND the Democrats plan on getting the money to pay for this "Free" health care progam..?   Why from YOU and ME, The Ameican taxpayer,  of course.  They would implement the LARGEST TAX INCREASE in this nations HISTORY. Obama made it clear one of his "main goals" is to RAISE TAXES by ONE TRILLON DOLLARS over a TEN YEAR period. Put iinto simple  terms... ONE HUNDRED BILLiON DOLLARS each YEAR for TEN YEARS... And folks.. remember... Good Democrats like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and many, many others,,, DONT PAY the SAME TAXES as YOU and I do... They're constantly screeching about the so-called "Evil Rich" in order to incite class warfare, but never, ever place themselves in this catagory.  NO.!!  They're good liberals..  Their MILLIONS like their Hollywood supporters aren't the same as those of the "evil Republicans"... The "Evil Rich"....  FACT...Not fiction.

While we're at it.. lets examine some of the "accomplishments" Democrats have racked up over the last several years. How about... The US Department of Education. Since its creation, the level of education in this nation has decreased at an alarming rate.  Where once The United Stattes had the highest ranked system of "public schools", colleges and universites in the world... Now, its NOT in the TOP FIVE.. Students today have no idea of history, government (other than its there for them to serve, to make their lives "easier" and to "give" them what they "need" in life.).  FACT... Not fiction.

The group is supreme to the individual.  Each citizen OWES their loyalty and allegiance  to "the group".  Individual drive, the desire for personal sucess, both in life and finacially, is wrong and to be condemed. The individual is scorned as "unacceptable". Schools all over this nation literally preach the atributes of "government".    With and through the influence of The NEA (National "Education" Association) and their lobbist, they receive HUNDREDS OF MILLION of DOLLARS of taxpayer money. Teachers are discouraged to teach students anything about personal responsiblity.  The ability of parents to oversee and particpate in the education of their children is viewed as an annoyance and  "interference".  Parental guidence is seen as "medling" in the arfairs of the "educators" ( Can you say "indoctrinators")?   FACT... Not fiction.

Democrats have systematically used the very Constitution which should ensure THE RIGHT of each and every citzen of The Republic to worship as they believe to remove all references to God from public affairs.  Beginning with the Supreme Court ruling of the 1950's which "outlawed" school prayer, liberals have slowly but surely taken each and every refrence to God in all manners of public life away.  For instance, only last week, a "grade school" princpal in Portland Orgeon OUTLAWED The Pledge of Alligence during the 5th graduation excerise becauce it contained the phase "One Nation Under God"... She "personally felt" it MAY be OFFENSIVE to MUSLIMS!!  Democrats, by appointing far left liberal judges to enforce their so-called "Secular Progressive" agenda by legislating from the bench have almost destroyed many of THE RIGHTS put forth in that same Constitution.   FACT...Not fiction.

It takes a village to raise an idiot... or in the words of Hillary Clinton, "It takes a village to raise a child".. Residents of Stone Mountain Georgia have been seen with "bumper stickers" proudly proclaiming.. "My child is being raised by "The Village" of Stone Mountain..!! NOT by the parents... BUT.. by "The Village"...!!  The removal of any and all parental supervision is and willl continue to be a prime goal of Democrats.  Their view is parents are not to be seen, never mind heard when it comes to their own children.  It is GOVERNMENTS RIGHT to BRAIN LAUnDRY your CHILD, to INSTIALL  in the CHILD the GOVERNMENTS AUTHORITY  over them.. To do as they are COMMANDED by THE IMPERIAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT without QUESTION or HESITATION.  Again.. be a part of "THE GROUP"... and NOT an INDIVIDUAL...  FACT...Not fiction.

In schools, colleges, universities and other like places of supposed education all across this nation, ANY student who DARES disagree with the teacher, the professor is labeled as a TROUBLEMAKER, and in most cases either fails the course or is kicked out of class.  Case in point.. Ward Churchill.. University of Colorado... Churchill produced FORGED documents claiming his hertiage was Native American... PLAGARIZED data from others which was incorporated into his own "works"... and then when confronted... Became almost violent... Threatened to "sue" the university when his "tenure" was about to be revoked... Not to mention kicking students out, giving failing grades in his far left wing, biased classes full of hate filled diatribes for challenging the content of his "lectures" on Native American Culture containing statements such as "those killed on 9-11"  were as he phased it "Nothing but little Eichmans"...   FACT... Not fiction...

Theough the use of the most complicated tax laws and code in the world, liberals have set out to destory the American Family... Where once the average Americans tax burden was between 2.5% and 4%, its now between 24% and 40%,  Where once it was the privledge of the husband... father.. to work, care for and provide for his family, now it takes both husband AND wife just to make ends meet.  And things are not getting any better. FACT... Not fiction.

With the creation of "The Great Society" by Lyndon Brainless Johnson, the United States government, in tis rush to "eliminate porvety" created a  total welfare class. One which is completely dependent upon government for everything in life. From housing (the United Stattes Government being the nations largest "SLUM LORD") to the very food necessary for life, this class depends on government and the American taxpayer.  This is not to mention, having the lowest high shcool graduation rates and thus the highest illiteracy rate in the nation. Living in government housing "projects" riddled with drugs,  gangs and the violent crime that goes along with them... An  out of wedlock pregnancy rate higher than the overall national average..Broken homes, and absentee "fathers"  Additonaly, because of this "welfare dependent" class, congress through its infinite wisdom, STEALS the money paid into the Social Security Trust Fund and places it in The General Fund... Thus, Social Security is almost broke..  So every four years, Democrats use their scare tactics with our senior citizens screaming  its "those Evil Republicans" who will take away your social security.. medicade.. medicare.. That should they vote for Republicans, they will end up homeless and  eating "Alpo"...  In reality, its the DEMOCRATS  who are constanly weaking the system by failing to end their use of such assine measures as "earmarks"... STEALING money from the Social Security Trust Fund to spend on whatever strikes their fancy...  FACT.. not fiction.

This nation has BILLIONS and BILLIONS of barrels of OIL just waiting to be developed. ANWAR is only one of the options on the table, and of this area, think about the size of The State of Virgina and New York Citys "Central Park"... ANWAR encompasses millons of acres.. The area in which drilling would occur encompasses about 2000 acres.. Less than 1/10th of ONE PERCENT.. There are huge deposits of oil found in the "schale" deposits all around America. BILLIONS of TONS of COAL... NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS which can produce clean power at a greatly efficent cost..   BILLIONS and BILLIONS of barrels of OIL waiting to be developed off our own shores... Oil which by the way, is now being sought after by nations such as China and Cuba within only a few miles of OUR shoreline.  Nations which give a damn less about what should happen in the event of a disaster.. The effects on the environment. OUR environment... Over the last 20 years, every industrial and developing conutry on this planet has increased its own domestic crude oil production from 25% to over 1000%... That is every one BUT The United States.. Ours has DECREASED by 22%... Why... Because DEMOCRATS have BLOCKED each AND every attempt to develop our own oil resouces.  BiILL CLINTON  in 1998 VETOED a bill which by the current time, would have been producting approximatly ONE BILLION BARRELS of OIL annually from ANWAR alone.  Only yesterday, President Bush urged the DEMOCRATIC controlled CONGRESS to open ANWAR to development...To develop legislation to explore and develop oil deposits off our own shores... The Gulf of Mexico.. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocenas..  Their response...?  NOT just NO.. HELL  NO!!... They are more concerned with courting the far left wing environmental nut case groups that have been taken over by what remains of the old communists and socialist  displaced after the fall of The Soviet Union  than providing for the security of this nation and its independence from imported oil.  Over and over again DEMOCRATS have REFUSED any ATTEMPT  to make this nation SAFE from the EXTORITON of  the Arab and other OPEC member nations...  FACT... Not fiction

These are just some of the "Change.. Change you can belive in" that will be coming this nations way should OBAMA and HIS fellow DEMOCRATIC CON ARTISTS  manage to, in the same manner as Jimmy Carter in 1976, hookwink the American public into believing their "marketing" program currently being put forth.  An Obama presidency will be nothing short of a SECOND JIMMY CARTER TERM.. Only now... The stakes.. conquences of such stupidty are far more dire than at any time during Carters "adminstration"    FACT... Not  fiction.

This IS a TIME for CHANGE.. However, NOT the kind of changes Obama and the Democrats seek... We need EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP... The end of congressional earmarks, a viable national energy policy  that will reduce and cause the eventual end to this nations dependency on imported oil... An effective ecomonic policy  to ensure America remains the worlds most developed and prosperous nation... A LEADER who understands  the very nature of THE WAR  which we are in  and will be for decades to come... A LEADER who is STONG on NATIONAL DEFENSE.. NATIONAL SECURITY.. BORDER and IMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.. NOT one who has stated, time after time, he will meet with the leaders terror nations such as Iran and North Korea without any "preconditons"... Avocates "Constitutional Rights" for TERRORIST... Trial by CIVILAN COURTS... OPEN BORDERS..  A COMMANDER IN CHIEF who understands and RESPECTS our military..Who KNOWS the TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES of WAR and the TOLL it TAKES on THOSE who FIGHT, SUFFER and DIE and THEIR FAMILIES.   Who will demonstrate his committment  to this NATION  for an EFFeCTIVE DETERENT to OUR ENEMIES .. HAMMAS.. HEZBOLAH..Al-Queda, The Taliban..  IRAN.. NORTH KOREA and OTHERS such as RUSSIA and CHINA.  NOT ONE  determined to reduce our military to the lowest levels since post World War II... Committed to the destruciton of our inteligence ability worldwide, following in the footsteps of the failed policies of Jimmy Carter and the  Church Commission.  NOT one who has said, time and again, he will withdraw our forces from iraq and Afganistan, regardless of the situation on the ground and the advice of OUR COMMANDERS..   BUT.. if things "turn bad" , send them back... Pay  in THE BLOOD OF OUR TROOPS for the same ground twice.. (I mean, hey.. its NOT his blood, is it?) And MOST CERTAINLY... NOT one who, in HIS OWN BOOK... and IN HIS OWN WORDS.... States CLEARLY... "IF THE POLITICAL CLIMATE TURNS BAD... I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS"  FACT... Not fiction...

We NEED... WE MUST HAVE... EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP... NOT LOFY RHETORIC.. Hitler was a great orator... And Gemany suffered... Stalin was a great orator.. And Russia... along with all of Eastern Europe suffered... Amercia does NOT need EMPTY SPEECHES filled WITH CATCH PHASES written by some unknown operative in the back room.. Spoken by  someone who is, as they say in Texas,  ALL HAT and NO CATTLE.. America needs JOHN MCCAIN... America NEEDS  a PROVEN LEADER... NOT a president who MUST have "ON THE JOB TRAINING"... America needs a EXPERIENCED LEADER who, FROM DAY ONE is PREPARED TO LEAD... TO TAKE COMMAND and who is PREPARED TO DEFEND and PREPARED TO PROTECT this NATION...!!!

Think.. Think long and hard... This is definitley THE TIME for "BUYER BEWARE"... or as the saying goes..."Be careful what you wish for... you just MAY get it!"
