Iowa Tea Party Billboard

The North Iowa Tea Party put up a billboard in Mason City, Iowa last week. The billboard compares President Obama to Hitler and Lenin.
At the bottom of the billboard, the statement is: "Radical Leaders Prey on the Fearful & Naive."
I find that humorous.  Isn't that what the Tea Party group that put out the billboard is trying to do - prey on the fearful and naive? Isn't that what the entire right wing has been doing for the last ten years in this country?

That said, the best part of the billboard is the fact that even members of the Tea Party... find it to be wrong: "That's just a waste of money, time, resources and it's not going to further our cause," said Shelby Blakely, a leaders of the Tea Party Patriots, a national group. "It's not going to help our cause. It's going to make people think that the tea party is full of a bunch of right-wing fringe people, and that's not true."
At least it wasn't MY money they wasted.

The Queen of No

There's a lot of talk that the Republican Party is the party of No.  They have no ideas, no solutions and they vote no on everything.  And, now, if Nevada doesn't vote for Harry Reid, they will send the Queen of No, Sharron Angle, to Congress. According to a Huffington Post entry from July 9th, "Democratic assemblywoman Sheila Leslie recently told the New York Times. "She [Angle] took great pride in voting 'no' for everything."  
Is this really who Nevada wants to send to a National office?
Why is it that the only message I hear from the Republicans is "Stop spending! Obama's a socialist! Lower taxes!" ?  They don't explain how they plan on stopping the spending.  The Obama's a socialist remark is plain ignorant.  They don't explain how they plan on lowering taxes.
The truth is that they have no plan in place for when they "take over".  The truth is, they can't lower taxes.  The truth is they have no idea where to cut spending - except, of course, when it will affect real people who can't find jobs.
Right now, in any state, we don't need a party of no.  We need a party of yes. I urge Nevada to not send the Queen of No to Washington.

Political America

America is not a true democracy.  We are democracy, mixed with republic with a bit of socialism and a pinch of libertarian.  The sad thing about this is that a great deal of Americans don't even understand this - even the ones with college degrees.

Sad, isn't it?

Now, the big thing is that Obama is a socialist and we're going to become this giant socialist nation and all of our rights will be taken away.  Sad thing is, we've had socialism in our society for well over 60 years and, in some cases, since almost the beginning.

Being the libertarian that I am, I say, let's get rid of all of the socialistic programs.  This is the only way to make our federal government smaller: (these are MY ideas and not necessarily the ideas of the libertarian party)

Socialistic Programs to Cancel
Social Security	Bank Regulations
Farm Subsidies	School lunch programs
Public Schools	Head start
Corporate Welfare	Welfare
Medicaid	Medicare
VA Benefits	Labor Laws

I would support a tea party candidate.  I wholeheartedly support libertarianism.  My problem with them is that they want to be libertarians with a huge amount of right-wing Christianity mixed in.  The whole idea of libertarianism is NO government interference and individual liberties.  The problem with the tea party is they want NO government interference and only those individual liberties THEY support.  They aren't what they seem to be.  Most of them are just Republicans in sheep's clothing. 

Let's change our government mix into a libertarian one. To find out just where you fall on the political spectrum, take this quiz.
