Our politicians are taking command and control of our lives to greater heights daily. Higher taxes, massive bailouts, corporate takeovers, the housing crisis, skyrocketing deficits, socialized medicine, the expansion of welfare, growing unemployment, and booming inflation are just some of the many problems that Democrats are causing to make our problems more miserable. But what is the basic difference between how liberals and conservatives view the world? The answer may unlock the key to the problem.
Liberals lack several critical personality traits essential for daily living: intelligence, common sense, decency, compassion, love, empathy, sympathy, a work ethic, concentration, and so on. But at the foundation of it all, liberals lack focus because they want to control everything. Our Founding Fathers knew that power within government had to be decentralized and limited in order for it to work. Today, President Barack Obama wants centralized and unlimited power for himself. Conservatives realize that the powers of the federal government should be concentated
in a few constitutional obligations: a strong military, a rule of law, the preservations of our rights, and other powers described in Article I, Section 8. Conservatives want to simplify as much as
possible so we can be focused. Liberals want to complicate as much as possible to stay in power.
Concentration of power and lack of focus caused the Soviet Empire to collapse under its own weight. It's amazing how determined we were to eradicate Communism abroad when faced with a nuclear threat, yet we are so naive to let Communism take over our lives gradually in our own back yard.

Tea partiers vs. the press (the real story)
We've all seen the negative coverage of the hundreds of tea parties held across America on April
15th. Hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans took to the streets to protest higher taxes and government largesse. A lot of media critics concluded that the press bashed these protesters because they're rallying against the Democrats in charge of our government. While that may be the case to one extent, I think something else is in play here.
Many media and entertainment people portrayed the protesters as racist, sexist rednecks. We all can recall Jeneane Garofalo saying 'this is racism straight up' on MSNBC. But I think the real reason the press came down so hard on the tea partiers is because they represented a threat to the mainstream press, not just a threat to the politicians they support. Deep down inside, those protesters hate how the press portrays them, not just how the politicians want to raise their taxes.
Think of what has happened to media outlets in recent years. Many liberal newspapers have folded their tents or have cut back because they're getting fewer subscribers. The feeble attempt
by liberals to start a talk radio enterprise went belly-up. Virtually nobody listened to Air Amer-
ica, or 'Dead Air America' as I like to call it. And the viewership in the television media is favor-ing Fox News more every day. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and CNBC are suffering from lower ratings and less revenue.
The media is worried about its own fate more than about the Democrats they favor. The Demo-
crats have a firm control of all lavels of government. They can take care of themselves while raking the taxpayers over the coals. So when you see all the people in the mainstream press complaining about all of the patriotic protesters in these tea parties on July 4th, remember that they're really worried about the future of their own existence.

The wrong host called it quits!
You've heard of the controversy between late night talk show host David Letterman and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin by now, but I need to have my say in this. On his show earlier this week, Letterman cracked a 'joke' when Palin came to New York over the weekend to attend a Yankees game and do charity work for autism. Letterman said that during the 7th inning stretch of the game, Yankee Alex Rodriguez knocked up Palin's daughter. This is not humor; this is a sign of mental illness. What made it worse was that the audience laughed at the 'joke'. Letterman is clearly a political hack making this preemptive strike on Governor Palin. He didn't crack a joke; he just cracked up. And he didn't make a joke; he is a joke!
I thought the election was over. Palin was not on the campaign trail. Letterman's 'joke' was only offensive and vile. His so-called apology was far from authentic. He was trying to defend himself by saying that he was referring to Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol instead of her 14-year-old daughter Willow. I don't buy that at all. It was just a feeble attempt at weaseling his way out of the situation. Nice try, Letterboy!
It's amazing how liberals still think Palin is a threat to their agenda. Yet liberals are a greater threat to America than Palin is to the liberal establishment. Jay Leno retired after being the host of 'The Tonight Show' for 17 years. I think the wrong host called it quits. Leno was funny. Letter-
man would be better off doing stupid pet tricks. And if Sarah Palin is elected President in 2012,
Letterman would have to play dead. God help us.

First, do no harm!
You've obviously heard of the death of Dr. George Tiller, the notorious late-term abortion doctor, by now. Tiller was murdered in his church last Sunday in Kansas by an anti-abortion fanatic. First I just want to say that I feel very sorry for the loved ones he left behind, but Tiller himself is another matter.
While the incident is very tragic, Dr. Tiller received what he deserved. He was responsible for the deaths of up to 60,000 babies who could've survived effortlessly outside the womb. George Tiller is not a doctor in the traditional or moral sense of the word. Doctors take an oath to do no harm, but Tiller committed infanticide. I would've preferred that he would've met his fate differently, but I have no sympathy for him.
The state of Kansas had opportunities to prosecute Tiller for his practices, but the politicians never pursued the matter. Tiller ran one of only three clinics in America that performed partial-
birth abortions, and he charged up to $5,000 per procedure. It's amazing how liberals who claim to condemn obscene profits will turn a blind eye when those profits benefit the abortion industry.
It's shocking how the same liberals who claim to fight for equal rights for blacks, Hispanics, and women refuse to lift a finger for the unborn. It's depressing to hear anti-war zealots claim that our brave soldiers are baby killers while abortion doctors kill babies at will. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, 'Tiller's death, while tragic, probably saved lives.' George Tiller
was neither a healer nor a martyr; he was just a baby killer. Nuf said.

What big government means to us!
Big government has now encroached into every nook and cranny of our lives. With higher taxes,
booming deficits, high unemployment, huge bailouts, and the government takeover of so many industries, Americans aren't going to have a lot of money or control left when the Democrats are through with us. So what will that mean for our lives in the short or long runs? I'm afraid the worst is yet to come.
One thing that gives people comfort when times are tough is having a backup plan. Having some-thing to fall back on is essential when life knocks you down. Having candles and flashlights is handy when the power goes out. Having extra money in the bank is good if you lose your job or need a car repair. And of course children need their parents to raise them right. But when the government takes half of your earnings in the form of taxes, fees, penalties, fines, or regulations,
it's hard to fall back on anything.
When the government takes so much of your money, you may have just enough to help you live,
but nothing else to make you thrive and prosper. And don't fall for the line that government is
there to help. The government doesn't give back; it just takes. Government's only role is to be present when emergencies happen. That's why it's essential to have a military, police officers,
and firefighters. It should be there only as a last resort, and that's it. It's not meant to micro-
manage our daily living. Let the people manage their own daily living. All of this social engi-
neering will come to an end because something has to give. The Soviet Union learned that lesson the hard way after 73 years. Let's hope things change soon before it's too late.
