To hell with two state solution

Recently President Obama talked to Israeli Priminister Netanyahu and the subject of the two state solutions for the Palestinians had obviously had to come up. I don’t understand why it is that the people in that country can’t live together, if the United States did that we would have to have a 7 state solution.
A state for each ethnic group.
1. Black
2. White
3. Spanish
4. Asian
5. Jewish
6. Native American
7. Any other that is not a large enough group to make the list.
Next we need to ensure that there is fairness, like the Israeli’s get from the Palestinians. Every time one of those states has an individual that they want from another territory, they will have to give up hundreds for a exchange (like the Palestinians’ prisoner swaps that the Israelis’ have to deal with).
Will the major groups have to help fund the smaller groups? Will we have other countries involved telling us how the smaller states are being oppressed even though their leaders don’t do anything to improve their status?
There are people in the United States who would probably like to have just that kind of situation, but the truth is that we are better for everyone who wants to come here and make this a better place and that is the main difference, even if we don’t agree most Americans want to make it a better place!
The point that I am trying to make is that Israel shouldn’t have to constantly be punished because the Palestinians can’t build a working relationship with the people they live with or that the leaders of the Muslim religions use them as a excuse to send their kids to die instead of find a way to make a better future.
The real solution to that problem is to make them live together and stop pandering to any one group. That is all their land and each one should just worry about how to make it better instead of how to leave the ground blood stained.

Using scalpels on warts as the cancer grows.

When then presidential candidates Obama and McCain debated people listened, I noticed that when it came to government spending each talked about how they would cut spending.
McCain said we needed to take a hatchet to the budget while Obama talked about the scalpel.
We are now at the point to see the actions of the one that America chose; President Obama has asked that each department in government find a way to cut their budget.
The problem is that each department is like a patient being told to operate on themselves, with overspending, fraud, waste and abuse being the cancer that is in almost each department of government.
There is no way these department/patients can cut out the cancer, the only answer is for a surgeon to come in and do what is needed. Instead of the President (the surgeon) doing what is needed, he has helped the departments gain weight (pork projects) and become bloated. Were the scalpel to be used now it would not be able to get through the fat to cut out the cancer.
I have some suggestions, they may or may not make sense but I am willing to speak up and give my thoughts on the subject.
Make federal, state and local government share offices, land and equipment in a lend lease type of agreement. This could make sure that any equipment that is not being used by one group will be used by the other. This means that less equipment will have to be purchased and less tax dollars spent.
All federal, state and local departments that do the same thing should be pushed down to the lowest level, with the federal and state governments being an oversight.
This is just some suggestions, they might or might not work but it is up to us conservatives to show that we are the party of answers.
The problem is the government is using a scalpel that is only good enough to remove the warts, when the cancer that is government spending grows and grows.

Conservative answers

Not too long ago there was an article in the newspaper that talked about the Republican Party being the party of “no.” What people do not understand is the conservative portion of the Republican Party is the most inclusive within the Party. We want everybody who supports and defends the Constitution and the rule law to be part our party regardless of race, religion, color, or creed. Moreover we are the party of answers.
What I want to do over next couple weeks is posit suggestions for the conservative party to give answers for fixing what is wrong with America. Subject I think are important are: taxes, healthcare, government involvement in corporate America, education, tort reform, openness in government, the environment, the Constitution, government spending, immigration, homosexuals, and the appointment of czars.
I feel that the solution for taxation is twofold:
First implement the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax will ensure big spenders pay their fair share and those who are frugal will end up paying less. It is also a way to ensure that those who are paid under the table pay their fair share too. This will incentivize investors and business to come back from overseas because we currently have one of the most punitive corporate tax rates in the world. Under the Fair Tax everyone contributes regardless of being here legally or illegally. No matter if their income is legal or illicit, when they buy any good or service whatsoever it will contribute to our tax system.
Second I feel taxes should be collected in a lump sum each month with the individual having to write a check to the government instead of an automatic deduction. This would cause the average American taxpayer to realize the huge amount of tax dollars that comes out of their paycheck each month. The government should send out lists and quantities of taxes that individuals paid the local, state, or federal government to inform the tax payer how much the government requires individuals to pay.

Two Questions

I watched the debate that went on in committee about the Cap and Trade and climate change bill. I have two questions? what is the temperature you want the world to be set at and what will you do if the globe goes through a cooling cycle and we start to slide towards another ice age?
The cap portion of cap and trade is about carbon emmisions, well what happends if it works and the world starts to cool? or is this all about having more government control over the economy?

Conservatives can win

For conservatives to win we need to gather our knowledge base and teach our children right!
We need to start and/or administer charities and treat the truly needy.
Develop business support systems that are based on true conservative principles.
Pass laws that support the rule of law, prove that America is a law abiding country and that the constitution is the base for it.
We need to develop the right politicians who believe in government by, of and for the people.
For conservatives to win, we need to explain that we don’t want the environment to be poisoned or destroyed, but that there is no set temperature and man can not make the globe heat or cool.
The conservative party doesn’t have to explain about our views on race we have to show we don’t care what your race is but what your views are.
We must show that we are not a party of anti-abortion but a party of rights for the un-born.
Conservatives must explain better their tax stance; we are for the right amount of taxes to support a local, state, and federal government as required by the constitution not as a way to give free stuff to people.
Finding immigrant stories of success from those who came here legally will help the conservatives’ show that our hand is held out to welcome all who obey the rule of law.
Being gay is not something the Conservative cares about, but marriage is. Why add onto something that is already broken?
If we have many issues with tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs holding back people why would we want to add marijuana to the list?
The Conservative is the main cause for the rule of law, the freedoms guaranteed, civil rights for all, and the reason we have a free country!

Where does the patriotism lie?

Having seen hundreds of immigrants living and working here in Citrus County, I noticed they are missing something. It is a sense of patriotism, not in their homeland because there seems to be plenty of that. No it seems that there just doesn’t seem to be an over whelming sense of patriotism for the United States of America! I rarely hear of who great they think it is to live here or how proud they are to be in America. Instead their focus is still on being either Mexican or whatever country they are from. In my family history my maternal grandparents would not speak Italian to my mom and aunts because as my grandmother told me, she wanted them to be American (and so they could talk privately behind their back) and not be looked at differently. Today’s immigrant doesn’t think like this, the push to assimilate has gone the way of the wagon wheel. America after two centuries think it’s better to pander to the immigrant population and make forms bilingual! People have even lost their jobs because they didn’t speak Spanish. Will this keep going till English is the minority language? I feel for the most part that today’s immigrant doesn’t believe in constitution. They continue to try to life the life style they did in their home country instead of by the constitution like everyone else has to. Illegal immigrants in large numbers have gotten on our welfare system being the major reason for the growth in the numbers of those who need aid. What happened to the immigrant who struggled to make a better life in this great country? By this you may assume that I am anti-immigrant, I am glad to hear when an immigrant comes here to America and gets citizenship, as long as they did it the legal way! The last time I talked to one who did it legally he spoke pretty good English and was very proud of being here, he had a sense of patriotism that is the kind America has built its sense of freedom on.

Blinded by the light

One of the problems that I see us having to deal with is that we are many but not well orginized. The current administration has put to much out there, it's like walking out the door of a dark house and into the bright sun. You become disorginized and people are able sneak things by us! This is one of the easiest tactics, put to much out there and no body can stop everything. This gives every issue a larger chance of succeeding.We Need to orginize, such as on this web site. Each basic subject should be broken down so people can get in line behind a subject they are more passionate about, this will build our resistance to the on slaught.People working in a more orginized manner will help us put the blind down so each group can handle it. As we are now we are blinded by the light!

Listening tour? what the heck!

Listen, over 50 million of us voted for the Republican Party. Most of us did so because of Palin and her traditional values!

Listen the people who changed sides and voted Obama were mad at the Republican Party for screwing up (not following conservative values) and wanted “change”.

Listen stop coming up with candidates who are as corrupt as the Democratic party and will pander to each special interest group.

Listen, explain that we don’t see minorities as a color and they shouldn’t waste time punishing the Republican Party for things the Democrats claim we did. Even though we were the ones who made the push for civil rights, were part of the north’s fight to end slavery, and were those who put all men created equal in the constitution!

Listen stop trying to give away more than the Democratic Party! Show that we want to save money just like the average citizens!

Listen, grow a spine!

Everyday Conservative

This is my first blog, I hope this becomes a home for the conservative voice. where points of view can be exchanged. I am a Conservative who is willing to speak out and I think that we should help those who are Conservative to be heard.
