Am I "misinformed?"

You know how you can tell the difference between a liberal and a conservative? A conservative does not RELY solely on rhetoric, and is willing to back up what they say with FACTS. It's easy to just label someone as "misinformed." But if you are unwilling to cite EXAMPLES of how I am misinformed, then may I suggest cease listening to Tom Brokaw and the liberal lying left? It's a good idea for those of you who are living your life day to day in a fantasy world.

So let's go through some of what may more appropriately be referred to as "today's thoughts."

Barack Obama. I hear in one city there has been declared to be a "Barack Obama Day." In other places, schools and other landmarks are being named after "The Messiah." Hold the phone people! The man has not been president for ONE DAY yet. Even John F. Kennedy didn't have ANYTHING named after him until after his assasination! Why are we so quick to want to name our children, our schools, and so much else after a man who has not actually ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING? Now, for those of you who think I am just "misinformed," I invite you to cite the accomplishments of "The Messiah." Yes, he is MY President, or WILL BE effective January 20, 2009. And honestly I wish him nothing but the best. I hope that all my speculation was WRONG, and that he lives up to his label as "Messiah."

This is not a LABEL that I, or any conservative has unfairly placed upon him. Here's one of his quotes: "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." What is he talking about? Suddenly I am REMINDED of his promise . . . that electricity prices would "necessarily skyrocket" under his administration. Hmmmm . . . . yeah, let's slow the rise of the sea level . . . by taxing the hell out of energy. Good idea, Barack. And let's be sure to do that during an economic downturn which none of us have ever seen in our lifetime! Yeah, great idea. And even if he were successful . . . if the U.S. STOPPED creating greenhouse gases alltogether, and everything ran off of solar and wind energy . . . what about every other country on earth? Even THINKING that we are going to make a DENT in the "global warming" is incredibly naive. But I guess that is what makes a liberal a liberal. Believing in fairy tales.

Now, let's switch subjects. Let's talk about the "Big Three." First, as an economist and a patriot, let me say that I believe that the "Big Three" MUST be "bailed out." However, as you will read in my previous posts, there is no getting around the FACT(now who is misinformed?) that 1)labor in almost every other country is cheaper(much cheaper) than here in the U.S. Obama can't change that fact, and neither can you or I, AND 2)the only auto manufacturers in the U.S. who are having problems are the ones INFECTED by the UAW.

Nissan is doing fine. Volkswagen and BMW are doing fine. Toyota and Honda are also doing well. ALL of these companies MANUFACTURE in the U.S. and NONE of these companies are having economic hardship like the ONLY THREE WHO ARE STRAPPED BY CONTRACTS WITH THE UAW. Whether you like it or not, the FACT is that these manufacturers have roughly a $30/hour advantage per hour per laborer over the "Big Three", and now YOU are asked to pick up the tab. What happened to competition? Why don't we just bail out EVERYBODY? The UNIONS have put the "Big Three" in the situation they are in, and BANKRUPTCY is the only way they can survive.

In BANKRUPTCY COURT, the "Big Three" can rid themselves of the burdensome UNCOMPETIVIVE contracts that UAW has forced upon them, and compete. Oh, by the way, GM just announced it is CLOSING 21 plants nationwide.

Question: How many Toyota, Honda, BMW, Volkswagen, or BMW plants have been closed? Zero. Now who is misinformed? The "Big Three" cannot pay $30 per hour per worker MORE than it's competition, and stay in business, period. But I guess that is where we get to "the rub." No candidate in U.S. history has EVER been supported by the unions more than "The Messiah." Why? Money. They gave HIM money, and now they want HIM, Nancy, and Harry to keep writing the checks . . . and take the money out of YOUR PAYCHECK to fund it. Well I will tell you ONE thing . . . THIS conservative isn't having any of it. If you want to be FOR marriage between TWO MEN, and help subsidize the UAW, go for it. Be as progressive as you want to be, liberal. But THIS conservative is not going to be a part of it. Call me "misinformed." But don't call me stupid. This "misinformed" conservative has a bachelor's degree in Economics and a J.D. in law. AND to go with that, I haven't been "drinking the Kool-Aid." You want to live in Disney World? Fine. But don't think I am going to help you pick up the check.

"Misinformed?" That's funny. I CHALLENGE those who think I am "misinformed" to stop hiding their head in the sand and deal with a little thing us conservatives like to refer to as "reality." Cite the case, baby.

And as my PARTING THOUGHT for tonight . . . I remember Obama saying last week that there was no contact(with Gov. "Blogo"), and he STARTED to say "whatsoever," but retracted that word because he knew it would come back to bite him in the ass . . . . and today we hear that there was "nothing improper." Hmmmm . . . . . well, Barack . . . we now know that your CHIEF OF STAFF has been on tape discussing the successor for your senate seat . . . are you not BIG ENOUGH to just admit it, and move on? Naw, I guess Tom Brokaw and Chris Matthews are who REALLY runs this country. Did it REALLY take Barack OVER A WEEK to discover that his CHIEF OF STAFF has been in DIRECT CONTACT WITH GOV. BLOGO? You people just need to keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

But what do I know? I am misinformed.

Here's a little homework assignment for you Kool-Aid drinking Obama heads who want to name everything in sight after a man who has 1)accomplished NOTHING, and 2)not been president for even a day: This is a TWO-PART ASSIGNMENT!

PART ONE: Please explain when and how an "Office of the President Elect" came into being. I am so curious!!!

PART TWO: Please provide a list of politicians who came from Chicago, in U.S. History, who were not utterly corrupt . . . the list must include only those who did not coincidentally SURROUND THEMSELVES with corrupt individuals as Tony Rezko, Gov. Blogo, etc . . . I am waiting . . . . get those assignments turned in!!! OR, just keep hiding your head in the sand, because as a liberal, I am WELL AWARE that the only way you can keep supporting a CORRUPT IDIOT like Barack Obama is to be misinformed yourself.

Nitey Nite.
