Welcome back readers, this is my first blog post in over a month, so I will try to make it a good one. As the nation watches this health care debate unfold, the anger and outright disgust only deepens with every press conference, speech, summit or underhanded tactic by the left. Virtually every poll shows that the large majority of Americans oppose this takeover of our health care system. We have almost 10% unemployment and clearly jobs are the nation’s main concern. So you may ask why Obama Pelosi and Reid continue to push this disaster of a bill on our nation.
In this post, I will give you the top five reasons why the Libs are so determined to ram this down the throats of the American people at all cost.
1. They Know Better: First, you have to look at it from the Liberal point of view. The Liberals consider themselves to be an elite group, that does not have to answer to anyone or even abide by the same standards they hold everyone else to. In their mind, they know how to better lead your life than you do. This includes how to spend your money and what type of health care you receive. Let's not forget the mandate in this bill forcing you to buy health coverage or face jail time, yes that's right jail time. I guess to hell with the constitution right, They know better remember?
2. Follow The Money: The Libs love to point fingers at Conservatives and the Republican Party for playing to special interests. Let's be honest, this is the worst case of the pot calling the kettle black in history. Just to get this far in the process, Obama had to bribe members of his own party just to get their vote. But wait, it gets worse! Obama excluded Unions from paying certain health care taxes that everyone else in America would be required to pay. I don’t think it's a coincidence that they were the same unions that supported him when he ran for President. Of course he has to take care of those that gave him all that campaign money right? Speaking of money, let's look at some statements made by Obama, he said that he would not sign a bill that would add to the deficit. He also said taxing the rich would pay for his plan. WRONG and WRONG. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) under the proposed plan, we would have to pay 14 years worth of taxes to pay for 10 years of Government run health care. That basically means that the program is bankrupt before it even exists. Something is wrong here.
3. They Hate Capitalism: As we all know, one of the staples of a Communist / Socialist way of thinking is, that Government should control everything and there should be no such thing as a free market or Capitalism. The free market system has made America the richest nation in the world, this has long been a thorn in the side of Socialist thinkers. They have been plotting ways to destroy the way America does business for years. Now that they have one of their own in The White House, they actually have an opportunity to deal a blow to Capitalism. The health care industry represents 1/6 of our nation’s economy; taking over such a large section of our economy would be one step closer to a victory in their eyes. The ironic thing is, these Socialist like to use China as the example of a prosperous Socialist nation. There is just one problem with that. China is the biggest holder of American debt. This means, that China is only prosperous because they have decided to "Capitalize" on the opportunity to invest in America. China is making Billions each year in interest paid on our debt. It sounds to me like Capitalism is working out pretty well for the Socialist Chinese.
4. What's There To Lose?: It was less than 4 short years ago that a jubilant Nancy Pelosi stood in front of the Nation and said "The Democrats Are Back" symbolizing the first time in 12 years the Democratic party held the majority. It was less than 2 year ago that the Dems gained a super majority and The White House. Despite all of that, they still can’t get this bill through. Now here we are in 2010 and the American people are ready to march on Washington and remove Pelosi from office. Obama and the Democrats have made Americans so angry with their clear disregard for public will, that regardless of the outcome of this health care bill there will be an election massacre in November. I predict they will lose majority in both the house and the Senate. So why not go for broke? They are going to lose big time anyway, and they would have at least accomplished there goal of socialized medicine in America. They would be martyrs for the Socialist cause, what an honor.
5. It's All Obama Has: With his support at an all time low and falling, Obama has to face the reality that the American people have rejected him and his far left policies. In 14 months he has tripled the National debt, weakened our Nation's security, lost 4 Million jobs, lost the trust of the voters and practically destroyed his own party. That's the short list. Obama knows that in November when the Dems lose power he will have no possibility of passing any portion of his far left agenda. I believe if they pass this bill, we will see an uprising not seen in this country since the Revolutionary war. If Obama doesn't act now, it's over. He will be a lame duck President for his last 2 years in office. He will be a 1 term Presidential failure. Obama's ego can't let that happen.
So Obama goes out and tells lies to the American people such as, "federal funds will not pay for abortions". I know this administration doesn't like reading bills before we pass them but, maybe he should read this one. Because it's clearly in the bill that abortion is a part of the federal plan. Not to mention that during a speech to Planned Parenthood in 2007, Candidate Obama said "We will set up a public plan that includes reproductive services" Again, Obama shows his true agenda despite what he tells America. I could go on for hours with examples of one Obama lie after another. Don't get me wrong, I want people to have access to quality affordable health care but, a Government run program is not the answer. Here is the bottom line. If they pass this bill, our country forever be changed for the worse. It's these kind of entitlement programs that not only run the risk of bankrupting our nation but, continue to erode the self reliant go getter attitude that makes our country great. I encourage all of my fellow Americans to stand firm on this issue. Keep fighting, keep spreading the word and exercise your right to free speech. America is the last stronghold for freedom in this world and must be preserved. So as Obama takes his last stand for Socialism, we must stand against him in the name freedom.
Welcome to A "Little" Common Sense In Today's Politics, my name is Larry Little. I am a fiscal, social & Constitutional Conservative. I believe the Liberal movement can & will be the destruction of America, unless we take action to stop it. I will use this blog to speak out against Liberalism. I believe in the Constitution of The United States & feel free speech is one of the most valuable things we have as Americans. I invite everyone to take part in the debate.

Avatar a left wing agenda?
Last night I took my lovely bride on a dinner and movie date to celebrate Valentine’s Day early. We decided to see what the big fuss was about this Avatar movie. Let me first say that it was a very interesting & well written movie that had special effects like I have never seen. I certainly did enjoy that aspect despite my distaste for Sci-Fi flicks. As I watched this film, I couldn’t help but notice the political and very clear Liberal theme that seemed to be an undertone for the entire movie. I know you’re probably thinking that I’m crazy, but let me explain. Before you can understand the very subtle message, you must first see the world through the eyes of a Liberal.
First, to be a Liberal you have to view America as an evil, selfish, super power that wants nothing more than to take advantage of others, especially those who are weaker. Second, you have to view Corporations as a pure evil and an enemies to the environment with the only goal to rob the Earth of it’s natural resources and pollute all in the name of profit. Third, science is gospel; there is no great creator & no God. The Earth, trees, air and animals are all a part of some ecosystem that man is solely responsible for destroying. I could go on all day about the Liberal’s flawed and twisted way of thinking but I won’t. Let’s get on with the movie.
Let’s begin with why we were on the planet Pandora in the first place. In the movie they say, that we have depleted Earth of all natural resources and the Earth is dying. So we decide to go to war with the people of Pandora so that we can now rob their planet of resources. Of course, it’s the United States military that is attacking the innocent defenseless people of Pandora. For years the Liberals have tried to depict the US military as monsters that attack those who are weak. Remember during Vietnam? Our brave soldiers returned home to protests and chants calling them baby killers, it’s the same old song and dance. The main thing we are after on planet Pandora is some kind of rock. I don’t remember the name but, it’s found underground in the forest and we are bulldozing the trees to be able to dig them up. Do you see the hidden message so far? We have the evil American empire destroying the forest and killing innocent people to deplete natural resources. You can relate this rock to what oil is today. Sound familiar? Wait, it gets better. The person in charge of this operation is none other than a corporate executive of a company that sells these rocks for a huge profit. Hmmmm….. Here we are again painting corporations as an enemy of the environment that only wants to make money regardless of who it hurts in the process. The best part is: the people of Pandora are tribal people. Their belief system, language and culture are almost identical to the American Indians. They even have a war cry and face paint that looks like an American Indian warrior. I also noticed how the producers slipped American Indian tribal music in the background as they were preparing to face the evil force that was “taking their land” The story of the American Indians and how the US stole their land, raped and pillaged is the oldest example of how the left tries to show just how evil America is.
I was amazed how much this movie had such a left wing agenda. The only thing it was missing was, somehow blaming George W. Bush for the turmoil depicted in the movie. Oh, and to have Obama descend from the heavens as the great savior of all and walk on water. Well, maybe that’s a little extreme. The media and Hollywood have had a left wing propaganda campaign going on for years. The key to getting the liberal message across is not hitting you in the face with it. It’s a slow, subtle, piece by piece brain washing. They hide behind causes like the environment, global warming, the peace movement and many other feel good causes that look like so great on the outside. But my friends, let me assure you, these people are nothing but wolfs in sheep’s clothing. They have a very evil and destructive agenda that can be the downfall of America if we let it take hold. Our only way to combat them is: to educate ourselves, recognize their methods of deception and take a stand.

A Missed Opportunity By Both Parties
Where do I begin with last night's State of The Union Address? There were so many moments that made me shake my head and ask myself, is the President of The United States really saying that?
Let's start with the fact that Obama actually took time out of this important and historic event, to blame the previous administration for the problems of today. How UN-Presidential and just plain immature. Not to mention the fact that the numbers he gave on the deficit when he took office were wrong and exaggerated. Obama and his party have been in the driver's seat for a whole year, when is he going to start being President? because if you listen to him, it would seem that George Bush is still in charge of the country.
Let's move onto Health Care. Mr.Obama actually said that he hasn't explained Health Care well enough for the American people and that's why it's being rejected. So all of those town hall meetings, press conferences and not to mention the address he made to both houses wasn't enough? Mr. President, the American people are rejecting it because we don't want it! it's too big, too expensive and it gives too much power to the Government over our lives.
Then Mr. Obama brought up the issue of "ear marks" and said he urged Congress continue on the road of ear mark reform. That's funny considering that it was Obama and his party that passed a $787B non stimulus/stimulus bill that contained a whopping 8,000 ear marks. It is Obama and his party that are cramming an unwanted Health Care bill down our throats that is full of kick backs, payoffs, bribes and ear marks that could bankrupt our nation. I guess he thinks by digging up an old campaign speech that the country will somehow forget what has been taking place over that past year.
He also spoke out of both sides of his mouth. On one hand, he criticized Bush for his tax cut that included a drop in the capital gains tax to %15, then Obama turns around and proposes to eliminate it. He said we need a spending freeze, then proposes another stimulus bill that could cost $115B. So which is it? tax cuts are bad, or only when Republicans propose them? Are we going to freeze spending, or are we spending more? which is it? Just like I predicted yesterday, it was another radical left wing speech that sounds pretty but has very ugly consequences.
If he was still running for President, he would sound like a convincing candidate that could really "Change" things. But he's not running, he is the President and it's about time he act like one. The American people demand and deserve more than just campaign promises and pretty speeches, we demand and deserve results.
It just amazed me how he tried to separate himself from everything as if he had nothing to do with the events that took place since last January. Obama is an ego maniac and really sees himself as some great savior. He is still pushing an agenda that is dangerous and reckless. I was hoping that I would be wrong about him and that he was going to show some humility. Instead, he shifted blame and continued his liberal agenda despite the will of the people. I could go on and on but the bottom line is. He had the opportunity to "Change" direction and listen to what the American people are saying. He had the opportunity to start a course that would help this country begin economic recovery. He had the opportunity to do what so few President's have had the chance to do. HE MISSED IT!
Now onto the Republican response. What was that? The Republicans had a chance to call Obama out on his deception and failed polices. They had a chance to show the nation why they are the better choice for America. They had a chance to lay out a clear vision and give new ideas to get this economy moving again. Instead, they had a lack luster, feel good, don't want to be too confrontational speech that would make most people fall asleep. Did we not learn anything from McCain's defeat in 08 or the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts? The Conservative message works! it makes sense, it resonates with people and it has a proven record of job growth, Strong economy, strong national defense and a good moral foundation. If we are going to take this country back, we need to start giving the American people a choice. Last night was the Republican's opportunity and THEY MISSED IT!

The State Of Obama
Tonight is the very first state of the union address by President Obama since being elected. Considering the disaster his first year has been, it should be interesting to see what "The Great Hope" has to say. Some people in the media are predicting that he will use tonight's speech to move towards the center and away from his far left way of governing. That very well could be true. However, there is nothing in his past that would lead us to beleive that he would. Every policy, group,inititive or affiliation he has ever beena part of has been extreme and Liberal. We can look at groups like planned parent hood or his association with Rev. Wright & Bill Ayers. All left wing extermeists. The ironic this is, as we see many member of the Democrat party move away from Obama you can't help but ask. Is he too radical even for the radicals? My prediction is that he will come out tonight talking about moderate policies and give the appearance to be moving to the center. But like everything else he has said, it will amount to only words and a bunch of hot air. For the sake of this country I hope I'm wrong.
