The items found on this blog were written during the past few years and strictly reflect my own opinions. Because these articles deal with difficult issues they are bound to be controversial. They reflect my personal analysis based on the limited information that I have. I am certainly no expert and fully respect different opinions. Difficult issues would not be difficult if there were clear-cut answers. Although you will see in reading some of my material, I don't like being pigeonholed with a label, I will admit to being politically independent with a tendency to be more conservative fiscally and slightly more liberal with regard to social issues. Having lived through the 1940's, I have a great appreciation for the sacrifices made by our armed forces and, in fact, all Americans during World War II. The greatness of this country shone bright as we rehabilitated and rebuilt our enemies after winning that war. I am very patriotic and proud of our country. While we are far from perfect, we're not as far from that ideal as most other countries in the world.

Here We Go Again

  -->
Here We Go Again 


We’re now less than three weeks away from another Presidential election and, personally, I can’t wait for it to be over.  Beginning November 7th we should have at least several weeks free of campaign lies before the next round begins.  As you might guess if you’ve seen the report card I gave President Obama, I’ll be voting for Romney.  Actually, I’ve already submitted my absentee ballot here in Connecticut.  Now that was probably the biggest waste of time and effort I’ve ever engaged in since Connecticut is as left wing as you can get and Obama will undoubtedly win this state.  However, I had to fulfill my civic responsibility.

I have to say that Obama’s presidency has turned out to be exactly as I predicted before the election of 2008.  The evidence of his far left political philosophy in 2008 has been born out and I’ll have to give him credit.  He has never attempted to hide his socialistic agenda.  His goals focusing on income redistribution have been as plain as day from the beginning.  I referred to him before the election of 2008 as a “pied piper” and he has proven to be one of the best.  While I gave him a report card full of Fs, as a “pied piper” or con artist or however you want to refer to his ability to make people thank him after he has given them the shaft with a smile on his face, I give him A+.

I’m not certain that things will be all rosy under a Romney administration but I think we have to take that chance.  At this point the bus is heading for the cliff with Obama pressing hard on the accelerator.  Our National Debt is heading for $17 trillion and a future of financial misery that I don’t want to leave for my children and grandchildren.
The problem is, we may already be too late to avoid serious financial damage to our economy but I think that outcome will be locked in if Obama wins reelection.  I don’t go as far as many who feel he is attempting to bring down the U.S. economy on purpose in order to create a crisis enabling him to grab more power.  However, I do feel his objective is to install  “European Style Socialism” here.  Do we really want to face the kinds of problems currently taking place in countries like Greece and Spain?
