GOV. CRIST-OH REALLY?????

 I have a hard time keeping a straight face when I hear our(Florida's) well-tanned, suave Governor declaring how he has lowered taxes,cut government, blah,blah,blah.
 He is also saying that (today) he is against the stimulus package or is he for it...hard to tell, but if it is Friday, he must be for it.
 He may have cut taxes for some, but I wasn't one of them, nor were any of my friend's or family's
taxes cut. If he is counting the property taxes, that was a shell game . For all the lowered taxes,property values went up, countys raised their millage rates, market rates went down,but the schools taxed on the higher County value....it is a mess!
 Insurance rates are still going through the roof and the more Insurance companies that leave Florida, the less competition. We have our FABULOUS Citizens Insurance (Sounds rather USSR-ish doesn't it) who has been chafing at the bit to raise rates and our "PUBLIC" Service Commission has granted rate increases to everyone they are friendly to.
 We knew the moment Gov. Crist hugged Obama that we were in for a time. Everything that this Governor touts as an "Example of great Governance" has backfired -costs have increased,people are leaving the state in droves because it is becoming a playground for the rich and famous-to Hell with the rest of us.
 There are no jobs, (The countiess and the state have killed the golden goose with impact fees,permit fees,environmental hoops to jump through,code de jours, etc.) The education system is so bogged down with red tape and paperwork that the teachers don't have time to teach and when they do they are forced to teach a politically correct curriculum that has no meaning.
 We have a Governor and Legislature than would rather be beholden to Washington, that maintain a sovereign state by using her God-Given resources. We now have a state that would rather fund China with "Green Technology" than drill for oil and gas off her own coast. Encouraging "green Technology is a scam at best, and a vicious attack on our way of life .
 By the way, did you know our light bulb companies in the USA have closed and laid off employees and china is making these stupid, mercury laden light bulbs?
 Having been forced to buy these things for our fan-light  they last two only stood two weeks of their five year energy savings.....THEY ARE A CROCK! You can't see diddley with them, if you break them it takes a phone call to "Poison Control" to legally dispose of the mess and they last about 1/10th of the stated guarantee. Sorry I have wasted more gas and "Precious elements" getting replacements than ever before!
 I don't trust these guys, I have to be convinced they mean what they say and say what they mean.....I am not so sure with Crist.
 I THINK I'LL STICK WITH RUBIO........ I don't care what the news media says(I don't believe them any more either).
 I suspect that if Gov. Crist is elected to the Senate, his vote will go with Olympia Snowe and the rest of the Democrats. I honestly don't know, it is hard to tell whether he is telling the truth now or before.....

UNLESS YOUR IN MAINE, YOU MUST HAVE A SENATOR WITH A BRAIN

Is it just me, or is there a definate disconnect with the Republicans in Maine verses the Conservatives?
 Please don't be fooled with Ms. Snowe's attempt at "Bi-partisanship". She has unilaterally decided that there should be a trigger for a "Public Health Option".
Talk about the "Wolf in sheep's clothing". Who gets to decide? Obamas minions?
  You guessed it, The government will decide if premiums go to high or exclude to much or .......
Don't be deceived, they will have Government controlled health-care one way or another.
  While you are contemplating the consequences of the health-care-they are going to slam through cap and trade!
 WE ARE SCREWED PEOPLE.....THEY WON'T LISTEN, THEY DON'T LISTEN, THEY DON'T CARE ONE WIT ABOUT YOU....THEY WANT THE POWER OVER YOU AND THEY WILL HAVE IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...
 You are now being classified as an extremist if you believe that the Constitution of The United States of America is the most important document ever written. You are an extremist if you believe that Government should be out of your personal business. You are an extremist if you disagree with this administration... FOR GOD SAKES - WAKE UP!
 They want your life,your labor,your choice,your family,you religion...everything....under their control and we have one year to make sure that everyone that values freedom, knows what is happening to them and get rid of the bastards that just want power.

SENSIBLE LAW OUT OF VERMONT???

A friend from Maine sent me the following e-mail. It is amazing that this bill is originating in the only state with an avowed socialist for a Representative ( or is it Senator).
After this weekends vote out of the House of Representatives, it is becoming more and more clear that the Dems in charge are using their power to control ,not only 1 sixth of our economy, but every aspect of our lives. The current president has a history of wanting to ban guns from everyone except his admirers and all of his friends from the last 20 years are Marxists. Put these two things together and we are in deep trouble. Bills such as these should be proposed in every state! There are enough naive people out there that have no interest in guns or have been conditioned to just be afraid of them. It is the damage done to them because they are unarmed or unwilling to defend themselves or their property that is a great economic burden on the rest of us, therefore, why shouldn't they pay the astronomical amount of money required to arrest,try, and imprison the perps and care for their injuries.
It seems to me that this is a sensible way to make cowards pay for services rendered.


Finally .... A Sensible Gun Registration Plan That Will Work:

Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack has read the Second Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution, as well as Vermont 's own Constitution very
carefully, And his strict interpretation of these documents is popping
some eyeballs in New England and elsewhere.

Maslack recently proposed a bill to register "non-gun-owners" and
Require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would become
the First state to require a permit for the luxury of going about
unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun

Maslack read the "militia" phrase of the Second Amendment as not only
affirming the right of the individual citizen to bear arms, but as a
clear mandate to do so. He believes that universal gun ownership was
advocated by the Framers of the Constitution as an antidote to a
"monopoly of force" by the government as well as criminals

Vermont 's constitution states explicitly that "the people have a right
to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State" and those
persons who are "conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms" shall be
required to "pay such equivalent." Clearly, says Maslack, Vermonters
have a constitutional obligation to arm themselves, so that they are
capable of responding to "any situation that may arise."

Under the bill, adults who choose not to own a firearm would be
Required to register their name, address, Social Security Number, and
driver's license number with the state. "There is a legitimate
government interest in knowing who is not prepared to defend the state
should they be asked to do so," Maslack says

Vermont already boasts a high rate of gun ownership along with the
Least restrictive laws of any state... It's currently the only state
that allows a citizen to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.
This combination of plenty of guns and few laws regulating them has
resulted in a crime rate that is the third lowest in the nation

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the
system, but too early to shoot the bastards."

This makes sense! There is no reason why gun owners should have to Pay
taxes to support police protection for people not wanting to own guns.
Let them contribute their fair share and pay their own way.
