2010 begins a new year and a new decade. After experiencing Barack Obama's idea of "Change", the nation is now looking to the opposition to provide a different direction. I suggest a few New Year's resolution to guide us to victory in the 2010 mid-term elections and to pave the road to taking back the White House in 2012.
-We resolve to support and contribute to candidates with strong, conservative principals over candidates who are marketed as "winnable" because of their ability to compromise everything.
-We resolve to stand for, fight for and practice fiscal restraint and responsibility, reduction of government intervention at the cost of personal freedom and the promotion of job creating, economy building capitalist growth.
-We resolve to follow up criticism of Democrat flaws with conservative solutions thereby nullifying any comment from them that we are just complaining.
-We resolve to take off the gloves when attacked by Obama, Pelosi, Reid and their media minions. Hit back and hit hard. Like Dick Cheney.
-We resolve to fight for the safety and freedom of American's FIRST. To lead the world in fighting for Democracy to combat the Obama need to be popular at the cost of empowering dictators and Marxists.
Resolving to stand for these core, Conservative beliefs will show the stark contrast between us and the Democrats. We may recall how most of the Democrats ran as 'moderates' then ran left with their agenda. We must not allow the same to happen on our side. Better to lose because of what we stand for than to win under the veil of deception. Time always lifts the veil. As it is now.
May 2010 be the year we begin the second Reagan Revolution!

Here We Go Again
As President Obama prepares yet another mass spending spree to attempt to spur employers to start hiring and move us away from a national average of 10% unemployment, I can't help but be reminded of all of those pre-approved credit card applications that fill my mailbox. Easy money. Bigger debt. A short term fix but a long term nightmare.
Billions of U.S. tax dollars are going to be offered to homeowners to insulate their homes. Supposedly this will create more jobs by the demand for new windows, new roofs and more efficient heating. This may sound good in theory, but as has been proven by the last stimulus, employers will choose to offer more hours and pay to existing workers while utilizing temporary and a few part time positions than to hire a slew of new workers.
Creating jobs cannot be done with a quick fix or a government loan. President Obama has no experience in hiring or meeting payroll, let alone creating the need for new jobs. What is happening now is extreme caution by a business community who has had the rug pulled out from under them and sees more government mandates, fines and regulations in their future. Dangling a carrot in front of employers to distract them from the oncoming environmental and health care costs coming in the future is how most see the administration's actions.
Fear of the certainty of what lies ahead is why unemployment remains high. As long as Pelosi and Reid continue to ram their expensive leftist agenda through the legislature, employers will be watching their wallets, keeping their staffing to a minimum and their operating costs out of government hands. The only way to create jobs is to drop the threat of "green" mandates. To actually REFORM health care to a less intrusive expense, not re-invent it as a government run agency set up as a tool to benefit democrats by controlling the free market.
Americans have got much smarter and have 24/7 access to news and information. And not just the news agencies that act as spokespersons for the White House. The golden carrot on a string won't create jobs. Until employers see a long term solution to the rising cost of hiring unemployed Americans, they just won't do it.
