Almost 650,000 clunkers were removed from America’s highways and byways in what the Obama administration is touting as a resounding success. The final price tag will be around 2.9 billion dollars, give or take a million. And how did America benefit from this? Well let’s take a look and see.
Charities across America who relied on people to donate there clunkers for a tax deduction are hurting for cash that would have been generated from the sales of those clunkers at auction. 650,000 clunkers would have gone along way in funding these charities.
Used car lots are out about 650,000 cars. A lot of Americans rely on the use car market for their next car to get from point A to point B. An inexpensive used car could make the difference between getting to work and going hungry.
Auto repair shops are short 650,000 cars to work on. Clunkers need maintenance and auto mechanics need clunkers to maintain. It will be some time before more cars reach the status of clunker, so what are the auto mechanics going to work on in the mean time?
Auto parts store are short 650,000 cars to sell parts for. There are a lot of shade tree mechanics like me who do as much work on their own cars as we can to save a buck or two. Those shade tree mechanics and other non mechanics that traded their clunkers in won’t be visiting the auto parts store anytime soon.
Car dealers are in a credit crunch now, because our wonderful government is very slow in paying them the $4500 for each clunker they helped to take off the road. And a lot of the news cars bought were not from GM or Chrysler. They were from the other American auto makers and some foreign auto makers too!
The biggest looser in this whole mess was the American people! Capitalism took a big hit, and many American showed us all just how much they don’t mind being socialist! Isn’t legal plunder by the government a wonderful thing!
So was cash for clunkers a success? Only if you are bent on the total destruction of what America should be under the U. S. Constitution! Socialist world wide are praising the Obama administration for their work in this area. Socialist’s in America are thinking they are one step closer to a workers paradise. And they wonder why constitutionalists like me are upset at what is happening to our country!
We need to get back to the rule of law before it’s too late. And that means that we need to bring this rouge government back under the rule of law by any legal means necessary, or we won’t have any law left to live under!

Socialists are nuts!
By; Dan Clements July 4th 2009
I was listening to Forbes on Fox news and they had a socialist on there, his name is Mike and I didn't catch his last name, and as far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter, all socialist sound the same and have the same message.
They were talking about health care and as usual the socialist were spouting lies about President Obama's plans for national health care. Mike was talking about shared risk and cost in a government run plan. Is he kidding? Are socialist that stupid? Do they think we are that stupid? Does anyone really believe that as a whole the nation will share the cost of a national health care plan? What kind of drugs are these folks on?
First, if the numbers that the administration are using about the uninsured are correct (and they are over inflated) then we will start with 50 million uninsured to put on the government doll. Then add another 119 million that will lose their current plans because employers will drop them off their plans in favor of reducing the cost of doing business. Then add all the illegal aliens and this is a formula for disaster.
Second, how many of these folks I just mentioned can afford to pay for their health insurance? The 119 million probably can, but what inventive do they have to keep paying when the government is willing to pick up the tab and pass the cost onto the tax payers? So if the vast majority of those receiving national health care don't pay for it were is the pool of payers to share and shift the cost? The only cost shifting I see will be to the American tax payers!
These socialist make me sick. They want to make sure everyone gets whatever they want in life no matter if they deserve it or not. Believe it or not not everyone needs or deserves health insurance or health care! You might think that's a cold hearted statement, but it is the truth!
Some people are just starting out in their young adult lives and they look at the cost risk of health insurance and decide they don't want insurance at this time in their lives. As people get older and start families, they reevaluate their lives and start getting insurance for the family to cover unexpected medical expenses. Towards the end of our lives is when we need the most insurance so we can live out are lives in some semblance of dignity.
There are those in America that go through their lives taking everything they can without giving anything in return, I'm talking about those in our society that can work and contribute, but refuse to! These are the people that do not need or deserve health insurance or care. First, if they needed insurance they should get a job and obtain it that way. Being poor is no excuse for not having health insurance. My wife and myself make just above minimum wage and we have health insurance. Second if you are not willing to work, why do you expect anyone else to carry you through life? There is a difference between able and not able to work, and I'm talking to those who are able to work but refuse to!
Bottom line is socialism is trickle up poverty. In order for socialist to sell socialism, they have to lie about it and try and tug on people's heart strings in order to make it palatable! By the time socialism makes people sick to there stomachs it's hard for people to turn away from it!
Don't let the socialist fool you, they are trying to take over every aspect of our country and our lives! And socialist like Mike are selling the American people down the river! People who are supporting, or promoting the socialistic moves of this government are traitors to freedom and liberty everywhere, especially here in America!

Amnesty Watch Marathon weekend June 27 and 28 2009
By: Dan Clements June 29 2009
It’s Monday Morning and I’m just trying to get my head around the information overload form all the shows this weekend hosted by The Conservative Alliance Media Network (www.conservativealliance.org) (www.zeroamnesty.com) in the immortal words of the long time Chicago Cub’s radio announcer Harry Caray “ holy cow”
Subjects ranged from crimes by Illegal aliens to how much of the government money, our taxes, are being wasted by Illegal aliens every day in this country. We talked about healthcare, welfare, identity theft, taxes, cultural destruction, and much more. There were a whole host of panel discussions on a lot of these subjects.
Most of what was aired over the weekend, you will not find talked about in the lamestream media, or by our cowardly politicians in Washington D.C. In regards to our elected officials’, they are found wanting with the facts about all the problems with illegal aliens, starting with what to call them. Illegal aliens are not immigrants in any way, shape, or form! They are not undocumented, because they steal people’s identity daily to be able to work here! Or they overstay their visas, and wreck havoc on our legal immigration system!
Illegal aliens come here uninvited; will not melt into our distinctively unique American culture. Illegal aliens want to remake this country into a third world cesspool, like the one they came from (Mexico), instead of staying in their own country and changing things!
Illegal aliens are cowards in that they run away from their problems in their home country, instead of changing things in their country. And their governments encourage this behavior, because if they didn’t then the people may get the idea that a change in government is called for and they would be on the outside looking in or dead!
And our politicians and bureaucrats are literally breaking the law everyday they allow this illegal alien situation to continue! We have laws on the books that are not be followed or enforced. We have state and local Politian’s turning a blind eye to what is happening to our country and the rule of law. We have mayors that are aiding and abetting these criminals by claiming a sanctuary status for their cities. The law is the law and to break it just because you don’t agree with it or to gain political point with certain constituents is an impeachable offense! Any American, who breaks these laws, should be brought to justice, from the President of the United States, to the lowliest of citizens!
Folks this weekend a group of Americans came together and voiced our opposition to the powers that be! WE are mad and we will not take it anymore! This weekend the country has been put on notice, stop illegal aliens now or we will not have a country to call our own! The time is well past to have put in place a border fence that would stop something forty foot tall, hairy, with fangs from coming across our southern border! This fence is to keep undesirables out not people in this country.
We need to take a hard long look at our current immigration policy and see if we need to let all the people in we are letting in now, or make them stay in their own countries and make their country better for themselves and their fellow countrymen! We cannot solve the world’s problems by importing them here. We need to keep that intellectual capital in the countries that need it most.
If you are an American and you care about OUR country, please help us fight this pox on our country, illegal immigration, and hold our elected and unelected officials accountable for breaking this nation’s laws!
