Some of you are probably wondering why I call my blog the DREAD Blog. The DREAD stands for Devoted Republicans Engage Against the Democrats. I came up with this before the Tea Party movement kicked in a couple of years ago. This is actually based on an old idea from the 1970s when disco ruled the charts. Back then, a Detroit radio station (WRIF, 101.1 FM) created the DREAD card, the acronym for Detroit Rockers Engage in the Abolition of Disco. By the early 1980s, just when Ronald Reagan became President, disco disappeared. Thank God for that.
Last Friday, the Republican National Committee elected Reince Priebus as its Chairman. My goal is to work on the RNC staff to implement my DREAD strategy. I've contacted the RNC to show my interest. I also gave LegalZoom.com a sketch of my logo which would be the regi-stered trademark of DREAD. Priebus hopes to raise $400 million in the 2011-2012 election cycle to help defeat the Democrats. But I think DREAD can raise $1 billion to whip the Democrats into submission. For those of you reading this blog, I hope you donate to DREAD to help spread the cause of freedom. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Let's pray for Gabrielle Giffords!
I want to send my deepest thoughts and prayers for all of those who lost their lives or were wounded in the tragic shooting in Arizona on Saturday. It's really hard for me to express in words how sad and scared I am for this nation. I wish all the best for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords as she recovers from her bullet wound to her brain. Among the six people who died were a federal judge, a Congressional aide for Giffords, and a nine-year-old girl who wanted to learn more about politics. There are three thoughts that have been floating through my mind as I have watched the aftermath of the tragedy unfold. My intention is not to inject politics into this horrific crime, but just to give you my perspective.
Last Thursday, during the first full day of official business of the 112th Congress, the House of Representatives opened up its proceedings by reading the United States Constitution. House Speaker John Boehner started off by reading the Preamble. Then several other Democrats and Republicans followed. Congresswoman Giffords read the First Amendment which covers free speech. The press seems to think that was an eerie coincidence because she almost died at a gathering that allowed people to speak their minds in front of her. I think it would've been ten times as eerie if she read the Second Amendment, which gives us the right to keep and bear arms. Jered Loughner, the man who killed six people and wounded about 14 others, was a lone psychopath who was bent on creating as much chaos and tragedy as possible. He succeeded at the expense of the security of this nation.
The second thing that crossed my mind was how fast the medical personnel who responded to all of these victims and saved many lives, including that of Congresswoman Giffords. But let's say this took place five years into the future when Canadian-style universal health care would've been fully enforced. Do you think that the doctors and nurses who worked on the wounded would have been able to give these shooting victims the care they needed in the trauma unit? I don't want to speculate here. I'm also not trying to make this a political commentary even though the Democtats insisted on passing universal health care that would give trauma victims inferior care by having the government take over the system and letting bureaucrats decide who lives or dies.
The third thing that I thought about was how Jered Loughner was able to get a gun legally and go on his shooting rampage at all. I've been watching reports on Fox News and reading reports on foxnews.com. There should've been red flags going off all over the place with this guy. He's written a lot of disturbing things on the internet. He claims that 'The Communist Manifesto' is one of his favorite books. His neighbors have said he's an unstable man. He's a high school dropout who disrupted classes at Pima College. Even the college instructors warned about him.
Yet in this politically correct world we live in today, we're supposed to look the other way. What a shame.
The bottom line is that this never should've happened. Even as I feel the loss and pain that
these victims endured at the mind of a madman, I can't help but think that this could've been prevented.

Whose debt is it anyway?
As the Republicans get set to control the House of Representatives tomorrow, one key issue is going to dominate the headlines. This topic is the debt ceiling, which is currently set at $14.3 trillion. The current national debt just eclipsed the $14 trillion mark. This means that Washing-ton will max out its credit card in March. The Republicans are now between a rock and a hard place here. Do they raise the debt ceiling and give themselves more time to fix the mess with the deficits, or do they refuse to raise it and risk the federal goverment defaulting if the debt goes above the limit? This is an important question and a huge dilemma. But first let's think about what happened during the previous two years.
The actual debt went up about $3 trillion during the 111th Congress. The people in charge of the entire federal government were womb-to-tomb progressive liberal Democrats bent on destroy-ing America. That's God's honest truth. Please don't fall into the trap that the Republicans will agree to increase the actual debt if they agree to increase the debt ceiling. The Republicans may not have a choice in this matter because the debt is increasing at about $4 billion per day accor-ding to Fox News. They may not have time to fix everything long term unless they do something about the debt ceiling in the short term.
President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid set this up so beautifully for themselves. The timing couldn't be better for them. In order to increase the debt, they raised taxes and passed Obamacare. They bailed out the automobile industry, the banks, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They passed stimulus bills costing trillions of dollars.
They printed trillions of dollars courtesy of the Fed, diluting the value of the dollar. And they passed all this legislation using bribes and kickbacks to empower themselves. Obama will use this opportunity to blame House Republicans if the debt goes beyond the ceiling, causing America to default.
Before you blame Republicans for raising the debt ceiling if they have no choice, we need to blame the Democrats for getting us so close to that limit in the first place and make the Repub-
licans look like the bad guys for something they did themselves. Remember that a raise in the debt ceiling doesn't necessarily mean a raise in the debt. I think the Republican House should put the brakes on all this insane spending immediately. If it is inevitable that the debt ceiling will go beyond $14.3 trillion, the Republicans should raise it (to about $15 trillion) and come up with a plan to stop the waste in the long term. They should force President Obama to come to the table and have him agree to negate all of the spending bills that have put America into such a bind.
I hate these looming debts as much as any Tea Party Patriot, but we must deal with reality. Our national debt stands at $14 trillion, as does our Gross Domestic Product. It's very sad to see the wealthiest country in the history of the world be on its knees because our politicians can't control spending and corruption. If the Republicans need to increase the debt limit, I can live with that. If the Republicans refuse to control spending, I can't live with that!
