Arnold Schwarzenegger from Libertarian to Socialist

When did Schwarzenegger change from a fun loving free sex young adult to a true supporter of state control over the people? In his early years he went AWOL from the military and refused to conform to the strict catholic upbringing of his parents. He has reminisced about his free days of working out and having sex with whoever was available. He fondly recalls remembering Richard Nixon’s 1968 speech at the Republican National convention about freedom and liberty. So what happened?

Arnold Schwarzenegger


Also in his early childhood it is clear he had little or no feeling for his family with the exception of his mother. His father was abusive and his older brother was his parents’ favorite son. Depending on which version is told he did not attend his father’s funeral or his brothers when he passed in a car accident. Detached and self consumed he sought out stardom through weight lifting and acting.

And so the actor turned governor tried to save California like a movie star would do. He proposed four amendments to the California constitution that struck at the power the unions and special interest had over the state and budget.

The first would have required unions to get permission from individual union members to use union dues for political purposes. The unions won and the measure was defeated.

The second dealt with having judges draw district lines instead of gerrymandering. It was defeated.

The third dealt with the power the governor had over the budget. Allowing line item vetoes to get rid of pork and it was defeated.

The fourth increased the probationary period for teachers from two years to five years. The teachers unions won.

Some modest attempts at reform for the bankrupt state. All defeated. And so Schwarzenegger learned his lesson. If Californians thought they were invincible to the laws of finance and gravity he would not only accommodate them but speed up the process as the state went into financial chaos.

The lesson that needs to be learned is that if by the grace of God we elect politicians like Sarah Palin, Florida District 8 contender Todd Long, Connecticut Senate contender Peter Schiff we cannot wilt under the pressure the special interest will apply to them. They cannot stand alone and take all the fire while we sit back and watch. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the strongest man in the world but he is just one man. He lost his battle for the freedom and independence of California and its citizens. Sooner or later the federal bail outs will end. Sooner or later California will be a financial basket case absorbed by the federal government and we can all take one star off the American flag. Over the next decade we need to support financially, emotionally and at the polls politicians who support freedom and liberty or we will end up with a bunch of two faced Arnold Schwarzenegger’s.

Obama lies?

Talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh says the president has an addiction, and it is lying.

This whole conversation (apparently on his talk radio show) seemed to be directed toward broken campaign promises.
You can read the whole story HERE

I take a little different look at things.
What politician keeps his campaign promises? … THEY ALL open their mouth and say WHATEVER THEY think will collect votes.

Am I okay with that?
NO!
It is simply another example the public has failed to address in the political arena.

It has been my observation that every time the President stands before a camera and speaks A LIE ROLLS OUT. I have yet to determine if he simply thinks the mass is stupid and believes whatever he says or if he is simply pathological.

I am beginning to lean toward the latter.

My true question is who in his party is he going to sink along with him. Some of his most avid supporters (in the mass pool) are beginning to admit he has a serious problem. You can only defend someone so far without becoming painted with the same brush. The definition becomes “YOU are either a liar also or deluded” WHICH IS IT?

The people of the USA were conned. The writing was always on the wall about EXACTLY WHAT OBAMA was/is.

The majority of “we the people” CHOSE TO IGNORE IT!
