The Washington Freak Show John Boehner

John Andrew Boehner is currently serving as the House Minority Leader in the 111th Congress and a U.S. Representative from Ohio’s 8th congressional district, which includes portions of the Cincinnati and Dayton suburbs, as well as a small portion of Dayton itself .

Boehner is an honorable man unlike the traitor Dianne Feinstein who made millions from her husband’s Chinese business dealings and most likely selling state secrets to China in return for favorable treatment for her husband.

He is honorable compared to Obama whose only goal is to weaken and humiliate the United States as was so promptly demonstrated this week when he ordered prosecution of Cole mastermind terrorist suspect Al-Nashiri to be stopped. No Boehner is not a traitor like “Shoeless” Joe Jackson who sold the 1919 World Series out to gamblers. Nor is he as hideous as our goofy communist educated president.

No the problem with Boehner and all Republicans in leadership roles is they are simply losers who do not have any fighting spirit or the will to win. The public needs to take a good long look at the Republican Party and ask themselves if they really want these guys and gals representing them. Pretty much the same way a manager looks at a former star Hall of Fame pitcher who at the end of his career keeps giving up home runs every inning. It pains the manager to pull the plug on his once magnificent pitcher but eventually it has to be done. For the good of the team the manager needs to tell and eventually cut the player from the team.

That’s pretty much where clear thinking Americans are at with the Republican Party. They are simply losers who can no longer deliver. As long as we put them into the game almost assuredly we will lose. Time for a change.

With all due respect to Boehner other candidates who have sold out America to the socialist, communist and fascist could just as easily been chosen. Trent Lott, Mitch McConnell, Bill Frist, Bob Dole, Howard Baker, Hugh Scott and finally the GOP leader that killed the party George W. Bush. The one exception to this list in recent memory is Newt Gingrich who delivered on his promises and won legislative battles with the leftist. The Republican Party and leadership no longer have any killer instinct or anyone willing to sacrifice for the team. Essential ingredients if you want to win.

Let’s be clear what is at stake. We have had a takeover of our government by communist, socialist and fascist. They are negotiating with companies like General Electric in the best tradition of Hitler and Mercedes Benz to combine socialist and fascist principles. We have seen this story before. It leads to less freedom, lower living standards, war and the ultimate destruction of the nation. Is there anything else? Can I make this any clearer? If Republicans can’t get fired up for this then please exit stage left and let people who will fight for the people take center stage.

The Republican leadership and party are like the once great Yankee team of the early 60’s. Five pennants, 2 World Series, 505 regular season wins, 62% win percentage, all glory and honors. And now they wake up and it’s 1967. 20 games out of first place. Three consecutive losing seasons. That sterling 62% win percentage has gone down to a miserable 45% and last place is becoming a very common occurrence. The roster is filled up with once great players who are washed up. Whitey Ford, Elston Howard and the all time great Mickey Mantle. The desire to win is gone. Only the memories remain. And the day of reckoning has come. As the players and team end the miserable season everyone knows what needs to happen but no one will say anything. It’s over.

So what now? The Republicans who truly support the taxpayers and people should quit the party and switch their party affiliation to Libertarian. That simple. Walk out on the party that along with McCain and Boehner abandoned them in 2008 with massive bail outs that were doomed to failure just as FDR’s and Herbert Hoovers bail outs were doomed to failure. Simply walk down to that court house and change your party affiliation to Libertarian and be done with it. Some of you will lose reelection. Life goes on. Some will not and a party that can stand up to the fascist, socialist and communist will eventually replace the party of the past. The sooner the better.

Economics is not as complex as people make it out to be. We all know tax cuts are evenly distributed with no preference to special interest groups. Cut corporate taxes to 0% and watch the economy boom. Cut capital gains taxes to 0% and watch the economy boom. It’s no secret. We know what works and what doesn’t. All the bail out minutia is cover for a power elite power grab. Nothing more, nothing less. A power grab no different than Hitler or Stalin did.

A bail out is taking money from workers and delivering it to special interest groups. Are some projects worthwhile? Of course they are but do you want to spend $100 on a restaurant meal with a plate full of garbage and one item you like? Spending $10 on the item you like seems a whole lot cheaper and more sensible. Well now we have the whole plate and it will be shoved down our throats for years to come.

We the workers of America need a party that will represent us. We don’t need a union. We like working and having our employers make a profit. We don’t mind being screwed once in a while because we screw our employer once in awhile (at least the smart workers do shhhh). Any union idiot that thinks non union workers don’t get even with employers is living in the 1930’s. I will not give away my secrets on this web site for obvious reasons. Capitalism allows me and millions of workers to get what we want out of our employment. We don’t want government interfering in that relationship. What we want is for the federal government to get out of the way.

When I say this images of Ronald Reagan come to mind. He did cut taxes but he was no friend of workers. He raised social security taxes when he could have let the system go broke forcing privatization. Reagan increased spending faster than revenues came into Washington. No I never want to see Ronald Reagan again. Ronald Reagan was all talk and no action. If he stuck to what he said in his speeches he would have done well with the working man.

Bush increased spending 55% at the federal level. He did change the dynamic of terrorism and cut taxes but capitulated to the sky is falling idiot Secretary of the Treasury Paulson and his stupid bail out mentality. All Bush should have done in 2008 was veto everything that came in front of him and this “crisis” would be 70% played out. Because of his utter stupidity when it comes to economics we are looking at short periods of recovery followed by inflation then stagnation for the foreseeable future. We get to relive the 1970’s thanks to the economic illiterate George W. Bush.

No clear thinking Republicans need to see this pattern of selling out the workers and taxpayers of America year after year. If the Republicans regain power in congress in 2010 will it be any different? Of course not. The Republicans don’t represent the people any more than Democrats do. Both are beholden to special interest groups looking for that quick buck.

Libertarians fundamentally understand that federal government is a rip off. Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Housing, Education and all federal programs need to be eliminated with the exception of the military and federal court system. Republicans do not see this and never will because they are Democrats whose friends are businessmen instead of lawyers and unions. Different clientèle and different spending priorities with the same result of ripping off the workers and taxpayers of America.

Libertarians also understand the destructive role the Federal Reserve plays in the economy. Economists have studied the Federal Reserve ever since there was a Federal Reserve. Half the time they get monetary policy right and half the time they don’t. Greenspan did pretty well up to about 2001 when George Bush came to power. Seems as though Mr. Greenspan didn’t like Bush much because a review of his moves during that time show him pretty much setting up the 2008 financial melt down. So why was he given the power in the first place?

Libertarians understand that the Federal Reserve should be in charge of increasing the monetary base 3% to 5% a year and nothing else. Print and protect the value of the dollar. Nothing else. No discount rates, no federal funds rates, no reserve requirement. Set the reserve requirement at 8% and get lost. One thing a lot of talking heads fail to see is the one common thread of all these banking disasters is the countries involved all have a central banking system similar to our Federal Reserve. Libertarians get it and few others do.

tom-feenyWe the workers and taxpayers plead with the few decent Republicans to make that trip down to the court house and switch your affiliation to Libertarian. My ex Congressman Tom Feeney was one of these patriots. He was a Libertarian, one of the few brave ones to speak out against all the bail outs and rebate schemes, and he lost in 2008. Before he lost I pleaded with him to change party affiliation. Why go down smeared with the label of Republican? I wish he had changed his party affiliation but in the end he will be remembered as one of the losers of 2008 caught up in some trip scandal with Jack Abramoff. What a shame. Should have gone down flying a flag you believe in Tom.

The first “Republican” to make this trip down to the court house to change party affiliation to Libertarian should be none other than Ron Paul. Two time Libertarian candidate for president and one of the few sane voices on the bail outs and domestic policy in 2008. I totally disagree with Mr. Paul on foreign policy and so do many Libertarians but Libertarians are united on domestic policy. Libertarian have the killer instinct and fight to confront fascist, socialist and communist face to face and are not afraid to sacrifice for the good of the team.

We can defeat the Democrats but the Republicans need to retire and get off the field and let the new players have a chance to play. As long as we cling to past glories we are doomed to failure. Time to let the prospects have at it. The Tampa Rays have a team of prospects and an American League pennant hanging up at Tropicana Field. With 41% Republican representation in congress it’s time to let the fighters take over the battle.
