Supporting the Resistance.

With all the talk about health care and government wanting to control every aspect of our lives it is interesting that I received an email about "Supporting the Resistance" I decided to write my own idea of this.
First of all and make no mistake, money drives the greed machine we know as the government this is the exact reason they tax, add user fees, license and regulate every aspect of our lives so it makes sense to cut off any unnecessary funds from them so I have listed ways I plan to work this out.
Don't borrow money, the government collects fees on banks, credit card companies and in general large corporations pay big chunks of corporate tax so by cutting down on their business we cut down on government revenue.
Support local business. Large companies pay big tax bills and small companies not so much and some small shops will give a discount for cash.  When possible buy used items, this cuts down on import items as well and keeps money in the local economy so it goes without saying private sales are totally tax free and cut the government out of any share.  Bartering is another excellent way to not only cut off government funding but save a lot of money as well. Another little known fact, if you buy a car for example from a private individual you will pay tax on the price when you apply for the tag and title however if you barter or trade for the vehicle there is no tax, in our state for example when you apply for the title you simply put "trade" where the form asks for the price paid and the tax is zero, in fact I have never had it questioned it is none of their business what you trade. Craigslist has a whole section devoted to items for barter or trade.
Growing a garden is another good way to cut down on government funding and also gives you barter items not to mention the health benefits. Speaking of health we have decided not to participate in the health care exchanges, my wife is one who can't keep her plan, and we won't pay a penalty either (I won't give away that secret because I don't want to hurt this venue) you can do the research for yourself . I am sure you may have other ways to cut down on government funding if you do please share.
I am just a little voice in the wilderness but I will do my part to starve the beast and it goes without saying less money to the government means more in my pocket, how can you argue with that.

New FY, 0bama Care

This is a new fiscal year and part of the issue is the implementation of obama care.
I always try and look on the bright side and I think this will actually save me a lot of money.

I get all my medical care through the VA however my wife has a very high health insurance bill, but the deal now is insurance companies can't deny coverage on preexisting  conditions so I'm figuring just drop insurance till she gets sick, I am sure rates will double or triple overnight but if you go for years without having to pay premiums what a deal and even if you go to the doctor for the flu and pay out of pocket maybe $200 it's still cheaper than one month premium.
I am also sure it will wreak havoc on the whole health care industry if everyone did this but they have been wreaking havoc on my finances for a long time so turnabout is fair play.
And you know the bottom line, I'm not going to worry over it. The government has been screwing us over for a long time and not caring how we feel about it so it's about time we did what's best for us and not worrying how they feel about it.
Maybe we can get the government to drop preexisting requirements on car insurance companies, that would really save me a lot of money, I could just get insurance when I had a wreck........I like that idea.

It's Starting To Happen !

I have often said when things start going bad and times get tough it will separate the men from the boys and the weak from the strong. Some people like to be on a winning team and when it looks like a team may be winning they are quick to jump on the wagon .I have speculated many times about these 'mall ninjas' who act big and talk tough but if weapons were illegal they would be standing in line to turn them in rather than risk prison, well we are not to that stage yet however after the election I am reading blogs and emails from people saying we should accept the fact the American people have spoken and we should all get behind 0bama and help him, as far as I am concerned that is wrong, I will not help someone who I believe is undermining our values and freedoms. If a rattle snake got into my child's crib I would not say "well I guess we should try and understand it's needs and work with it" no! I would dispatch it and discard it in the garbage. I will not try and work with those who fundamentally disagree with our founding government. 0bama is not a friend of the US, he has apparently fooled many into thinking he is trying to help us and work for our good. If he was wanting to help us he would have approved the Canada pipeline construction, if he wanted to help us he would not have spent his first 2 years (with Dem's controlling the Senate and Congress) passing a health care bill nobody really wanted and we have yet to see how that will cripple our economy. I have lived in countries with "free" health care and most of their expenses are taxes, that is why tourists come here and buy Levis for $35 or $45 instead of $145 in their country... or they pay $9 for a gallon of gas instead of $3.40 but whoopee they have "free healthcare" In case you have not heard, NOTHING IS FREE and nothing the government does is cheep or efficient. The closest thing the government does well is the military but it by no means is cheep, anyone who has served can attest to the screwed up way the military operates much of the time.
0bama was not raised American, even if he was born here he was raised in anti American countries and raised by Anti American parents and grandparents and tutored by communists and terrorists (don't even try and argue against these facts, it's too well documented) he is on a crusade to destroy our economy or at the very best turn us into Europe with all it's socialism. I will not accept that he is good hearted and needs time to work things out, he has said he wants to fundamentally transform our country,  he wants revenge on the United States for our 'oppressing' other nations. (he actually said before the last election voting for him was the best way to get revenge) That scares me, revenge for what? I take great offense to him thinking America has treated other nations wrong (as he said on his first 'apology tour' overseas) America has sacrificed over 350,000 in WWI and over 1,000,000 in WWII I think that alone makes up for 'wrong' he may think we have caused.
I, like many of you have held security clearances for the US Government and know the questions and documentation you need for all your friends, family and acquaintances overseas to make sure you are not even friendly with anti-government sources, therefore I find it totally appalling that we have a imposter living in the White House who could never pass a security clearance and yet considers himself Commander in Chief.  If Bush had miss pronounced "Navy Corpsman" do you think he would have been labeled a total idiot ?....I think you know the answer to that.
Have we all forgotten the way our ambassador was slaughtered in Libya because 0bama was afraid to see dead Muslims in the street before the election. Have we forgotten the tripling of our debt in the last four years, have we forgotten the health care debacle. The list is endless, he has heaped more grief and misery and debt on us than we and our grandchildren will ever be free of.

I for one will not try to 'get along' with him and his policies, I will not bend to his anti-American views and laws against the Constitution. I for one (by the grace of God) will not be known for how much I could bend over to get along with the enemy but rather by how tall and straight I could stand against tyranny.
Now that I have had time to reflect maybe I am wrong. I think Hitler would have turned out OK if the Jewish people had gotten behind him and maybe worked with him more. So lets all hold hands and sing.
I guess those who support 0bama would have been in the group who were against our rebellion with England in 1776 because after all we were against the policies of our own government. It is funny to me how people like Hillary Clinton can say they were patriots for opposing George Bush but somehow now we are not.  
Is there one person out there who can tell me they would be satisfied if 0bama could re-write our constitution anyway he wanted, if you said yes you are not a friend of this great country if you say no......enough said, I made my point.
As a great man once said "The only way for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing."
