Jerry Brown should take a lesson from Scott Walker

California Governor Jerry Brown is continuing to push for more taxes, something that would most likely become nothing more than a burden for just about everyone in the State.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Friday that Governor Brown is insisting on pushing for a $25 billion cut in State services, if voters do not approve more taxes. Of course there is already more bickering up in Sacramento, as Democrats act like a bunch of rubber stamps anyway and a majority of Republicans signed a tax pledge last year vowing to vote against any tax hike period. However there are some Republican State Senators that Governor Brown says he can win over.

I guess some Republicans are able to show their true colors as a bunch of back stabbing worms.

But perhaps Governor Brown should take a lesson from Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Last week, the Wisconsin Assembly approved a bill to take away union rights. You know, the same unions that receive largely inflated pension funds and huge pay checks? And the same unions that are part of the problem as to why States across the nation continue to suffer financially because the tax payers are on the hook to pay for all of their crap?

It was amazing to finally see politicians do something which usually only receives talk and no walk. 

Only if Governor Brown would take note of Wisconsin's unprecedented steps at real union reform, but the problem with Governor Brown is that he protects State unions, not to mention illegal aliens. The two huge factors that play a part in California's escalating financial crisis and yet he refuses to even acknowledge this. To him, it is all about raising taxes on Californians. No other alternative exists.

I wonder if Governor Brown has any conscious at all to the families in California? Thanks to the protests in the Middle East, gasoline prices have begun to skyrocket and if it continues, people will have to start spending less and California already suffers from 12% unemployment. I'd really like to know why Governor Brown thinks it is so necessary to add more fuel to the fire, instead of looking at alternative solutions to solve the problems that have cost this State an arm and a leg for decades now.

Take a lesson from Wisconsin, Governor Brown. At least they're actually doing something.

Obama ignorance is shocking

As the United States and the rest of the world apparently continues to poor gasoline all over the place and set themselves on fire, President Obama has decided to celebrate by bringing Motown to the White House as a tribute to Black History Month. Simply unbelievable.

I honestly think Obama's ignorance and his contradictions are just about as worse as the Bush Administration, hence Obama's nickname "President Extension of George W. Bush".

Shortly after the upheaval began in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, all President Obama did for an entire week and a half is demand that President Mubarak must resign, never mind the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood was helping provoke the unrest in the first place, and never mind the fact that Egypt helped keep the peace with Israel, something that the Muslim Brotherhood has wanted to destroy for quite some time.

Yet on Wednesday during his press conference, President Obama addressed the unrest in Libya for the first time in almost nine days since it began. In his speech, he refused to even ask for Gaddafi to resign, let alone even mention his name. He also seemed to completely ignore the fact that the spiritual cleric of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, called for the assassination of Gaddafi and acknowledged that it will be the primary focus of the Muslim Brotherhood to continue to destabilize the Middle East and whip out Israel.

Why is President Obama reluctant to acknowledge the Muslim Brotherhood's plans and why is he forgetting all about Gaddafi, when Gaddafi himself also has deep resentment against Israel and is an even worse dictator than Mubarak was?

In addition to completely ignoring the facts in the Middle East, President Obama is all about standing with the unions today, after the Wisconsin Assembly passed a bill that would break union rights, to help pass Wisconsin's budget. If anything, that should be a plus. It is about time that someone in the political spectrum finally woke up and realized that unions are one of the primary reasons why States all across America are in critical financial condition. Maybe if he actually understood facts, the President would call for union reform.

This President has not even made an effort to keep any of his so called campaign promises on "hope and change", its all about the status quo as far as he is concerned; continuously catering to the special interest groups and the far left socialist agenda.

Obviously we are living in a country that is no longer represented in a Democratic Republic and we probably don't even know what we stand for anymore in this country. When you have a President like this that is completely out of touch with reality, you have to question the motive.

Perhaps he really is just ignorant. Or perhaps, he, like the rest of the Arab World, doesn't like Israel either.

Ahmadinejad: Unrest will spread to Europe and America

Well the head of the circus in the Middle East came out yesterday and said that the "wave of unrest that is happening in the Middle East is certain to spread to Europe and America."

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made the comments at the height of the protests in the entire region and has drawn criticism that his comments are derived from the belief that Shiite Muslims believe a ninth century hidden Imam will reappear.

Maybe 2012 really is the year the world will end, or maybe this really is the second coming of Christ, or some kind of rapture?

This is the same Ahmadinejad that spoke in front the United Nations assembly insisting that America was responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks and also that Iran is resisting a New World Order. Yet, in his comments, he is calling for a new system of world governance.

I guess he really has lost it.

Regardless, Ahmadinejad comments are unfortunately, somewhat correct. The protests that have been happening in the Middle East, are having impacts both in Europe and here in America. In Greece, Russia Today reported that over 60,000 people violently took to the streets attacking police officers. In Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker is having a hell of a time balancing the budget and meeting the demands of greedy union workers, so much so that State Troopers are actually being dispatched to find missing State Representatives to return back to the capitol and put in their vote on balancing Wisconsin's budget.

To make matters worse, as the protests continue throughout the Middle East, it will unfortunately have dire consequences on the U.S. economy. Gas prices are starting to rise and when the cost of gas skyrockets, people seem to spend less, which means consumer products will most likely also start to rise, but the consumer demand for these products will start to decline, as they become too expensive for people to afford to purchase them.

There really is no way out of this mess we're in. Congress and State Legislatures will cut costs and raise taxes regardless, it will make no difference; the Muslim Brotherhood can continue to influence protesters and remove their sinister governments so they can establish a new order of government and remove Israel and finally, the United States, will probably, most likely, not be the United States anymore sometime down the road.

We only have the greedy self-serving international businessmen to thank for destroying our economic system
