MIDDLECLASS WALKS THE PLANK!!


Middleclass Arkansans walk the plank.  Truth in media?          April 26, 2013

Front-page story authored by T.R. reporter Mary L. Crider titled “Lawmakers give museum $1 million”….correction Ms. Crider, lawmakers redistributed by force $1 million belonging to taxpayers without their permission.

The newly minted Republican majority, you may recall, all bill themselves as Constitutional/small government representatives. A topical examination follows.

Senator Files and tagalong fellow faux conservatives, Holland, Stubblefield, Douglas, Malone, Fite, Altes, and Democrat McGill funneled $1 million into the proposed nascent colossus to be known as the Marshall’s Museum.  Their actions fly in the face of honesty!

The museum, at its initial kickoff with follow-ups was billed as a “privately endowed venture”…pushed by Richard Griffin, Sam Sicard, Bennie Westphal, etc. now utilizing new-age Urban Renewal to develop their downtown for-profit endeavors, i.e. taxpayer subsidized. The government enabler for Griffin/Sicard/Westphal/et al is Senator Jake Files who orchestrated the disbursement of another $2 million to the museum a couple of sessions ago.

Have Files and any of his tagalongs ever consulted middleclass Fort Smithians & environs regarding their tax dollars being diverted to this pie-in-the-sky behemoth?

There is no way the colossus  can or will be built by private funding as above examples so demonstrate; therefore citizens are being maliciously hoodwinked by the Ft. Smith city government (who have already donated substantial taxpayer largesse), the aforementioned insiders & others, and of course couple them with Files & his tagalongs. Imagine if you will, if this behemoth is allowed to reach fruition what the costs will be to build & maintain. Think hundreds of millions. The Convention Center on steroids. Another tax burden placed on productive citizens without their permission.

At the recent end of the 89th General Assembly Arkansas’ 35 state senators awarded themselves $1 million each and the 100 state reps awarded themselves $350,000 each.  What for? Bribery, vote-buying & fundraising? Will they voluntarily reveal what & who is getting the stolen tax dollars? This unvarnished theft must be terminated next legislative session.

Then comes the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) allowing 250,000 additional Arkansans and illegals to enter the welfare arena for life compliments of Republicans, not knowing or caring about the cost or how it will affect the nation’s productive citizens. Senator Files was one of the first to join hands with Gov. Beebe, Sec. of Health & Human Services Sebelius and Obama of Obamacare in Arkansas’ version…a Republican sell-out.  The stated number has already grown by 36,000, furthermore; the passage of the traitorous Affordable Care Act automatically qualifies and enrolls them in ALL entitlement programs. Arkansans & illegals slopping in the welfare trough is rapidly approaching 1.5 million…half of Arkansas residents.

Then there was the move to incorporate school board elections with elections traditionally held in November so there would be a higher voter turnout in school board elections.  Fort Smith Superintendent Benny Gooden got exercised and demanded it be kept at the stated date (lower voter turnout means he can keep his puppets in place)…this proposed legislation was defeated and 26 Republicans withheld their vote.  The above mentioned were part of the group. I understand one school board member has held that position for about 20 years….why?

Republicans created an initiative to be brought to the voters which would extend term limits to 16 years.  Ask yourself why a self-supporting honest citizen would want to spend 16 years in such a capacity—public service or self-service? 
Representative/Lobbyist Stephanie Malone (Chamber & Ft. Chaffee Redevelopment) initiated this particular attack. Malone described this as just “partial term limits”!

The 89th General Assembly served the top & the bottom echelons of society—the welfare masses and corporations/government.

Nothing left for the middleclass except to pay and walk the plank.  Isn’t it time we rethink our positions regarding incumbency?  Observe every level of government.  All corrupt to the core.

Joe McCutchen

P.S. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, April 22, reported that the Arkansas Joint Budget Committee set aside hundreds of millions of surplus tax dollars.  Do you really believe that government at any level is not awash in tax dollars?

Arkansas legislature legacy of forced redistribution


IT’S PAYOFF TIME!                        April 23, 2013
Back in the day, the former Republican Party opined they were the political party that espoused the Constitution, the rule of law, small government and lower taxes.  The Party now cannot be accused of any of the above virtues, abandoning all as attested by the near conclusion of Arkansas 89th General Assembly.

Nationally, the day after the last presidential election, the former Republicans instituted a corrupt philosophy of trying to out-do the Democrats, apparently not understanding that the Democrats have a 70 year jump on them headlong into Cultural Marxism. How foolish they have been, those former Republicans, flushing long held principles to vie for vote-buying (Hispanics & OTM’s, welfare bums of all stripes), direct attacks on constitutional principles (tort reform) but not limited to, engineered by the likes of Stephens, Tyson’s, Insurance companies, etc.  and most of the former Republicans took the bait.

The former Republican Party now rebranded as the (POI) Party of Irrelevance, has given up all claims of representing their constituents.  So who do they represent?  Clearly, the 89th session demonstrated that they are in bed with the welfare crowd and the corporate/government nexus.

Who represents middleclass Arkansans—NO ONE.  Anyone who tries gets politically destroyed, i.e. Jon Hubbard. 

A brief critique of the legislative activities of the 89th assembly the rebranded majority party was engaged in will stamp them as traitors to the American way by increasing the size of government and attacking citizen held involvements in Ark. State government.

1.    The POI’s increased the state budget by $197 million.
2.    The Joint Budget Committee set aside hundreds of millions of surplus tax dollars “for various projects & purposes” (the amount is breathtaking). This demonstrates nothing but corruption. How many hundreds of millions of surplus tax dollars does the Ark. state government have? This vividly demonstrates that Arkansans are criminally overtaxed and why aren’t these millions given back to the taxpayers?  Then there is the matter of “various projects & purposes”.  Why are they not specifically revealed?
3.    Gave State employees a 2% cost of living raise.  When is the last time citizen subsidizers of government got a raise of any kind and then factor in that all government employees’ net incomes on average is 30% higher than private sector taxpayers!  More vote-buying by shameless legislators.
4.    Gave the government school system an increase of $47 million to an already existing budget of $2.046 BILLION.   FUNDING FOLLOWS FAILURE.
5.    The POI’s bequeath Gov. Beebe with $100 million and the House & Senate each received $35 million on their “favorite projects”. Each of the 35 Senators received $1 million apiece.  What’s the chance of this stolen money being used for vote-buying and fund raising schemes? Ask your legislators!
6.    The POI’s pushed through in the largest welfare program history of Arkansas (remember this is the former Republicans conducting this dollar onslaught) which will place ANOTHER 300+ THOUSAND ARKANSAS DEADBEATS & ILLEGALS ON WELFARE FOR LIFE.  This is one of Obama’s deals that no one & I mean no one understands what is in it. To further inflame the wound, these former Republicans dumped in another $107 million in the state’s Medicaid program.  The federal government (that’s me) is alleged to be paying for the above thievery while the fed now has a $17 Trillion debt and a president who is dedicated to destroying our former preeminent republic.  And these legislators have gleefully joined the Obama attack on Western Civilization.
7.    Passage of a Bill that makes it extremely difficult for citizens to petition the government through the use of initiatives for redress of grievances, i.e. training for signature gathering, increase in the percent of voter signatures needed to meet state mandates, etc.

In time it will be pointed out the relationships these representatives & senators have with whom and what for and further demonstrate that their first goal is to absolutely and totally destroy middleclass Arkansans’ influence in state government.
Be aware that this bunch wants to extend Term Limits to 16 years.

The question becomes, is this bunch who languishes in the Capitol most of the year traveling at taxpayers’ expense to meetings far & wide, “public servants” or “self-servants”? (Think Jeffress brothers).  As stated above, in due course the devil in the details will emerge.

Joe McCutchen

P.S. Gov. Beebe will tout the addition of 300,000+ per year on Medicaid as a program that is virtuous, pure, and his legacy.  Oh yes, I believe he cut the grocery tax a ¼th of a cent, or something like that, which he boasts about.

Another win for Collectivism in Arkansas


                                April 17, 2013
Two reasons why the once Constitutional Republic of the United States of America cannot and will not survive…American’s brains have long been short-circuited by government schools, formerly known as Public Schools. Here are two out of thousands of examples.

1.    A new taco joint opens in Ft. Smith, Arkansas by the name of Taco Bueno and initial customers told owner John Davis they had waited 12 hours in line to taste Taco Bueno’s food.
2.    Emanating out of Arkansas’ 89th General Assembly, Arkansas House Speaker Davy Carter (R-Cabot) told reporters after the vote on the misnomer “Affordable Care Act”…”I think we’ve had a great day in Arkansas in the Ark. House.”  The great day Carter is alluding to is putting an additional 250,000 more Arkies & illegals on welfare and statewide the number is approaching $1.5 million.  Admitting this type of failure and accompanying theft from the producers is a “great day”??

Oh yes, the 250,000 number has already exploded to 281,580 and the bill isn’t even out of the gates.  Simple question: the federal government has stated it will pay (that’s me) for all Affordable Care Act theft taken by force by the 89th Assembly for redistribution and the Fed is currently in debt $17 TRILLION, with $100 TRILLION in unfunded mandates, i.e. social security, medicare, & MEDICAID.

Legislators tell us again how & who is paying for this phantom unearned largesse that will be redistributed to Arkies & illegals?

Finally this 89th General Assembly is a producer-subsidized protection racket and on close examination it is revealed that most of you legislative whiz kids are in bed with government, either directly or indirectly.  Middleclass Arkansans don’t stand a chance.

Joe McCutchen

P.S. the Republican Party has once again caved; hence the new name The Party of Irrelevance (POI).

More welfare plunder


More Welfare Plunder—not “public service” but self-service            April 11, 2013

It comes to pass that a 27 year old Arkansas State Representative (R) named John Burris, apparently employed part-time and receiving some sort of Arkansas healthcare welfare, who from all accounts is the architect of the upcoming additional One Quarter of a Million person healthcare “giveaway”.  It is said that Burris has been working on this scheme about ½ a day, every day for months to implement the 250,000 “giveaway”/plunder.

What sustains a 27 yr old State Rep. with no fulltime job and who is able to supersede seasoned legislators in an issue of this magnitude?

Giving Rep. Burris cover is House Majority leader Davy Carter (R).  It is said that Carter resigned a position from a lending institution to devote fulltime to Arkansas government.  Carter, a family man, poses the question what sustains him & his family economically?   Clearly he has higher political ambitions to spend his life ensconced in the taxpayers’ trough, as does Burris. More severe Term Limit legislation is desperately needed.

Rep. Carter glides in and out of both sides of the isle as if he were on a sheet of ice.
As you may recall, he’s the fellow who blindsided Rep. Terry Rice, the heir-apparent to the Speaker of the House.  That may be just politics to some, but to me it is self-serving, unethical behavior.

Then there is the matter of government employees removing themselves from their place of public employment for 5-6 months to function in the capacity of a legislator. This is arrogance and corrupt government. Two examples come to mind:  Representative Stephanie Malone who is employed by Ft. Chafee Redevelopment Authority and then there is State Rep. Bill Gossage, Assistant Superintendent of the Ozark Public Schools.  These are horrible examples of self-service and conflicts of interest and taxpaying citizens are being fleeced. There are numerous other examples.  At the very least they are guilty of ethical violations. It should be noted that Rep. Malone is fanning the flames for the extension of Term Limits.  FOIA’s revealed one pleasant fact, their bosses say they are not paying them while they languish in Little Rock for 5-6 months.

There is absolutely no justification for them to remain employed by government while they are serving in a legislative capacity. If they are not needed for 5-6 months at a time, they are not needed and should resign one or the other positions.  Apparently they are shills for government expansion.
Then comes the matter of Senator Joyce Elliott’s (D) bi-yearly promotion of in-state tuition for illegals & children of illegals. 

Two more of the plethora of big government mouthpieces (cheap labor, open borders) came to her aid in the failed Senate Bill endeavor.  Charles Welch, President of Ark. State Univ. opined on a number of occasions regarding the “investments” made in the illegals and children of illegals.  Bureaucrats and politicians love the word “investment”, i.e. spending taxpayer dollars and expanding their individual government entities.

Welch openly flouts U.S. law 8 USC, Sections 1325, 1324a, etc., as have other chancellors & presidents in Arkansas schools.

Following Welch was a fellow named Rich Nagle, the Executive Director of the Ark. Educational Assoc. Now that’s a collection of self-servers.  Nagle huffed & puffed & bloviated that Arkansans have a moral imperative to pass Elliott’s legislation, claiming Arkansas citizens need to remedy and fix a real injustice. (the injustice is to the taxpayers who foot the bills). Just what is the moral imperative?

Nagle was hired by the AEA to lobby for exactly these kinds of legislations to increase their funding, size, and political clout, all at taxpayer expense. The Government School System in Arkansas is a woefully failed endeavor (by design) and Ark. educational leaders & teachers are propagandizing and indoctrinating the minds of our young Arkansas citizens with their collectivist goals.

Welch & Nagle will be better served if they stay at home, mind their business & increase their proficiency in Constitutional teachings, and keep out of the affairs of beleaguered, over-burdened taxpayers.

It should be noted here Education Committee Chairman Representative Johnny Key (R) co-sponsored Elliott’s bill and instituted a below the belt move by demanding a voice vote which passed…one honest soul (congratulations) demanded a roll-call vote.  Elliott’s bill then failed.  Interestingly on the roll call vote, Key did not vote and the Con Con Chairman, Senator Jason Rappert (R) hid in the wings.

And finally, former Senator Gilbert Baker who is employed at UCA, typically with an inflated salary, apparently spends more time at the Capitol than a locust does on an oak tree, lobbying/influence peddling for Higher Education.

This is merely a microcosm of the self-serving collection of legislative whiz-kids working to pick our pockets.

NOT ONE OUT OF THIS COLLECTION HAS THE GUTS TO SAY NO TO OBAMA—SEBELLIUS—BEEBE—ROSS FOR THE PROPOSED MEDICAL/ECONOMIC RAPE OF ARKANSAS CITIZENS.

In-state tuition for illegals…AGAIN & AGAIN


PUBLIC SERVICE IS SELF-SERVICE!                    April 4, 2013
Senators Joyce Elliott (D) & Johnny Key (R)—the very odd couple in sponsorship of SB 915—in-state tuition for illegals and children of illegals.

These two Senators are aggressively hustling for illegals, LULAC, La Raza, the institute of the Catholic Church & taxpayer funded Catholic Charities, the Chambers of Commerce, and corporate Arkansas…all at the expense of middleclass taxpayers, while creating another government bureaucracy and smashing the rule of law. (8 USC)

Each of them must know that the vast majority of Arkansans want no part in the scurrilous SB 915.

Elliott and Key are allegedly diametric opposites in their political philosophies:  Elliott an avowed progressive Marxist and Key an alleged Conservative Republican (a RINO).

So what’s in it for these two? 

Senator Elliott, a black activist who in the past has pushed programs designed specifically for blacks. Some of which are Affirmative Action, Set-Asides, Quotas, and presently this ethnic group enjoys more freedoms than any group in the history of man, yet are failing in most endeavors.  Again, posing the question, why is Senator Elliott fanning the flames for illegal Mexicans and OTM’s and not championing the cause of black Arkansans who are American citizens, e.g. why not fighting for real education in the Delta/Pine Bluff for young failing blacks?

Then comes the matter of Senator Key—being a Republican he claims to be an advocate of the Constitution, the rule of law and small government, so why is the Senator abandoning the ship in support of illegal invaders. Perhaps he has signed on to the new Republican mantra “to hell with ethics, morality and the Constitution” “we have to like Hispanics” as Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal so aptly put, cheered on by Florida Senator Marco Rubio. We have to lasso those Hispanic votes.

Senator Key and his entourage of Republicans are desperately trying to out Democrat the Democrats, foolishly failing to understand Democrats have a 60 year lead in unconstitutional giveaways. Republicans additionally don’t understand that the only way they can now win elections is to stand for the original principles articulated by our Founding Fathers, which is what all REAL conservatives hunger for.

Observing Senator Keys resume he is big government personified: belonging to practically every governmental institution in the state of Arkansas and noting as a graduate chemical engineer he and his wife own two babysitting operations.

Question:  Are my state and federal tax dollars subsidizing his two babysitting operations?

VOTE AGAINST SB 915!   FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!  AND WHO PAYS???

New Economic Theory: Adding welfare recipients is good economics!


Representative Greg Leding (D-Fay) and his “New Economic Theories”        February 28, 2013

Ahhh, the benevolent Arkansas State Representative who hails from that Marxist enclave on the Hill.

Rep. Greg Leding is no doubt a soul-mate of the Catholic Bishop Anthony Taylor, the individual who is no respecter of the U.S. Constitution and the Rule of Law, e.g.  the purveyor of Sanctuary Cities and recipient of taxpayer dollars to fund the misnomer “Catholic Charities”.

The Honorable Greg Leding spewed his benevolent new economic equations at a press conference at the Capitol Wednesday.

To begin with Leding stated “Not only is it the right thing to do to get these ¼ million Arkansans access to healthcare, but it is also an economic driver”.  So welfare is an economic driver? Yes, it drives economics into the ground.  Rep. Leding, no disagreement that these folks in all likelihood need healthcare.  These folks do not have a RIGHT to healthcare and the method you are prescribing for attaining their healthcare is immoral, i.e. theft by force from one group for redistribution to another.  You call these potential welfare recipients numbering ¼ million “Arkansans”.  How many in these numbers are illegal Mexicans & OTM’s? As a Catholic, in all likelihood the number of illegals is of no concern to you.

You go on to say, “We’re looking at about $550 million added to our state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP)”.  Representative Leding is it your belief $550 million stolen from taxpayers and disseminated to non-producers is GDP?  I further call your attention to the fact that the U.S. government does not have $550 million when we the producers are saddled with a $17 TRILLION debt.  In this same vein your view of economics and math is the same immoral fiber that Governor Beebe wallows in, i.e. “if we don’t take the money someone else will”.

Your economic silliness reaches a new high when you are quoted as saying 6,200 new jobs will be created with the acceptance of Obama’s vote-buying thuggery. You are speaking of government positions, not jobs, while increasing the size of state government and placing more economic burdens on the producers.

Rep. Leding you go on to state, with your pretzelized arithmetic; about 2,800 lives will be saved each year. What crystal ball are you using?

Back to Gov. Mike Beebe and his bloviating, “The federal government will pay all costs for the first 3 years”.  Governor, where does the federal government get the money?

Rep. Leding, you have no constitutional or moral authority to grandstand before the state legislature and Arkansas citizens demanding more forced redistribution from the hard-pressed middleclass.  You and your Democrat soul mates are stealing money from Arkansas citizens without their authority.

“Welfare? A cruel hoax.


WHERE DOES IT STOP, OR DOES IT—IN ITS WAKE ARE MOUNDS OF ECONOMIC ASHES AND HORDES OF BEGGARS—IT’S CALLED “WELFARE”                                                            January 24, 2013

Another proposed grand theft orchestrated against middleclass Arkansans, but not limited to, by Gov. Mike Beebe, a disciple of the Marxist Communist President Barack Hussein Obama, State Surgeon General Dr. Joe Thompson, Dr. Daniel W. Rahn, Chancellor of U of A for Medical Sciences, Dr. Clark Fincher, the Governor of the Arkansas Chapter of American College of Physicians; and some members of the Arkansas state legislature.

Do we feed them forever?  The aforementioned luminaries never, ever question why welfare numbers continue to exacerbate, what remedies are available which could terminate the lack of self-discipline and foster self-reliance, etc.  Instead, without any forethought, these subsidized bureaucratic and political elitists posit their position without feeling for the poor souls who are generating the funds for their entitlement feast.   In this same vein, the 30 year politicrat Beebe is proposing a 2% pay raise for state employees. It’s in your face citizens, and is a mirror image of precisely what Obama is doing to all America.  The producers are not receiving raises, as you well know, therefore why should government employees receive raises?

With the proposal to add 250,000 (that’s ¼ million) more non-producers to the welfare rolls will tally out to be at least 1,100,000 welfare recipients languishing & reproducing in our state alone. Arkansas’ population is roughly 2.5 million. Does that sound an alarm?  Citizens are not aware of how many illegals are dining at the welfare table—more corruption by Beebe and the state legislature. On bended knee, they shuffle to the music of the Walmart’s, Tyson’s, Stephen’s, the State Chamber of Commerce, etc.

Depending on whose numbers you accept there are somewhere between 2-5 million 3rd World, uneducated, poverty-ridden legal & illegal aliens entering our country on a yearly basis.  We as a nation are $16.4 TRILLION in debt, with a $75-100 Trillion in unfunded mandates, i.e. MEDICAID, Medicare, and Social Security. Notice that the Marxist Democrats gave approximately 3% increase in Social Security checks and those who have saved and had some wealth netted out less than they were receiving in 2012.  That is bald-faced thievery. The money was earned by hard labor and the DC thugs have dried up the Social Security coffers.

Not to bore, some specifics about government arithmetic and fabrication used by Dr. Joe Thompson.  Thompson asserts that with the 250,000 add-ons we would end up with 400,000 with insurance…tell us Dr. Thompson, who is we?  Thompson goes on to say that the add-ons would save 2300 lives per year…where is that crystal ball Dr. Thompson and is that the same ball that came up with the padded 250,000 number?

Next, an example of political doublespeak and outright dishonesty.  Dr. Thompson states that if the Ark. Legislature signs on to this not so Affordable Care Act, with the addition of 250,000 non-producers it will create 6200 jobs. Jobs? Jobs? These are not jobs they are positions. Dr. Thompson may be a bright individual but also devious & sinister. .  Those 6200 jobs bloviated about amount to a huge expansion of state government, no end in sight, all subsidized by the producers and he and Beebe are not producers. Government employees hold positions, not jobs, again all subsidized by middleclass, hard-working Arkansans.

What is the philosophy that states that a government may take by force from one group for redistribution to another group? Ladies & gentlemen of the legislature, it is Communism.  Your political vote-buying benevolence at someone else’s expense is not only unappreciated, it is highly resented.

It will be interesting to see how the former political party identified by the name Republican, now the majority, morphing into the Party of Irrelevance, handles the proposed abuses of middleclass taxpayers orchestrated by Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe and his Democrat Legislature. Do the POI’s have the backbone to terminate the Marxist attacks on our once free society?

WELFARE HEAVEN OR HAVEN?


ARKANSAS, THE WELFARE HEAVEN…OR IS IT HAVEN?

Governor Mike Beebe, the Arkansas Legislature & Altruism, i.e. Soft Communism.    January 16, 2013

Auguste Compte was born in France in 1798, inventor of Sociology and coiner of the word Altruism.  Altruism laid the groundwork in America for Political Correctness which has all but destroyed the 1st  & 2nd Amendments and virtually all important institutions.

Altruism is a philosophy holding selflessness as the highest virtue, which excludes rational self-interest.  Few individuals practice Altruism because of its totally destructive nature; however government uses sanctimonious Altruism routinely to buy votes and positions, i.e. all politicians & bureaucrats.  Simply put, producers provide unearned largesse to the Takers and as time goes by the demands of the Takers increase, ultimately destroying the abilities of the producers to provide for the Takers—what is left? Ashes.

Witness Government: In this case the positions of Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe & the state legislature in the matter of burgeoning & expanding welfare programs.

It is noted that the opponents of rational self-interest (individualism) have created environments which low-information citizens seize upon the “something for nothing” scheme thereby aiding & abetting our destruction. Implementation of Political Correctness has been fueled by the much bandied phrases, e.g. “make a difference”, “giving back”, “mentoring”, “volunteerism”, “compassion”, “egalitarianism” (stressing the importance of the collective over the individual) all of which paralyzes Middle Americans.  The faux philosophy has allowed the elites to launch an all-out attack, destroying individual freedoms, property rights, seizure of individual wealth, self-reliance; ultimately destroying the totality of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law, and hands America over to the Global Cabal.

Before elaborating on the proposed Arkansas legislative destruction that is about to occur referencing Altruism (middleclass destruction), it is appropriate that remarks made by certain Arkansas leaders be topically analyzed:

1.    Governor Mike Beebe:  “Some people understandably, believe the federal government simply can’t afford to be throwing this kind of borrowed money at states” ($1 Billion per year for 250,000 new welfare takers), and Beebe said, “that money is going to be borrowed and spent regardless of whether Arkansas takes its relative pittance ($1 Billion per year is pittance?).  For us to decline the expansion (adding 250,000 more individuals to the current welfare rolls) would be to close some of our hospitals, conspicuously deny insurance to our working poor people and perpetuate an unsustainable system of uncompensated care (Beebe and his worn-out scare shtick & where is the proof?). And it would accomplish diddly in regard to the federal deficit”. (This is exactly the kind of thinking/actions which have bankrupted our republic. Incidentally, Arkansas is currently $139 Million in welfare arrears. )

a.    Does the governor have any comprehension of the true meaning of his quotes, and certainly he chose not to elaborate, only elements of fear which are absolutely ungrounded? His quotes would have you believe Arkansas is an island unto itself and amounts only to a mere pittance and not worth diddly when there are 49 other states and any number of Protectorates at the trough.
b.    What’s the genesis of the outrageous number 250,000? Let’s have a name!
c.    If 250,000 are added to the welfare rolls, how long can we expect the recipients to remain on the dole?
d.    There are no visible protests by citizens demanding to be put on welfare. The state’s urgency to accomplish this is criminal. The state practices this criminality on a daily basis by running TV ads, print media, and other forms of advertisements baiting people to join the welfare brigade.  In police parlance this practice can only be described as entrapment.
e.    No mention of the throngs of illegals gaming the systems in our state.  Defense?
f.    No enumeration or names of the hospitals allegedly forced to close, or why.
g.    Aside from his fear mongering of throwing old folks out of nursing homes, the governor & legislature should inform citizens when ALL the unconstitutional & illegal unearned Altruistic largesse will end, or does it continue to its logical end when all parties are consumed.

2.    Senator Michael Lamoureaux (R-POI) Senate Pro Tem:  “I don’t think there will be any cuts to Medicaid”…dittoed by the Speaker of the House, Davy Carter (R-POI).  There is some evidence that Lamoureaux & Carter have formed a serious nexus with Beebe (D).

The bone of contention is this, President Barack Obama created the “Federal Affordable Care Act”, which at this juncture is financially overwhelming business communities, exorbitant costs & rationed healthcare, and mammoth tax increases across the board.

To put all this in perspective, the bill for Arkansas welfare is a $5.5 Billion per year and escalating, devoid of means testing and as mentioned earlier, fraught with illegals and at this juncture presently there are 780,000 Arkansas residents on welfare out of the total state population of 2.5 million. The “shortfall” for this Altruist behemoth is projected to be somewhere between $140 million to $298 million for this year.

The governor and some members of the legislature are pushing for an additional 250,000 to the above population, presenting producers with a body count of at least 1,030,000 dependents bodies to mother. 

This feel-good Politically Correct Altruistic approach to government, which is nothing more than vote buying and position gathering, has all but destroyed Western Civilization, our heritage, and our standard of living…all by design brought about, in the main, by indoctrinated, dumbed-down citizen Americans who vote to retain elected & appointed invertebrate cowards term after term. OBSERVE.

The state & federal POI’s (Party of Irrelevance-Republicans) will fold like a cheap lawn chair in matters of importance…state Medicaid expansion, gun control, and nationally amnesty, gun control, tax increases, & debt ceiling abolition.  Precisely why Republicans have morphed into the realm of political irrelevance. POI’s  have only one articulated position…war & more war…what fools.

Altruism by force: Americans tethered.

Joe McCutchen

A friend sent this & it should be the battle cry of every American.  The quote “The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered & controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance”. —Cicero—55 B.C.

Evidently we have learned nothing after 2,067 years.

From Cicero to Uvalde.   Arkansas Senator Uvalde Lindsay—among many of his foolish statements the following quote sets the tenor for the 2013 Ark. Legislative session….Lindsay said “It wouldn’t be fair to extend Medicaid coverage to an additional 250,000 Arkansans for 3 years, then take that coverage away”.  His quote says it all.

Democrats & the POI


Deals From the Democrats & the POI.                      January 4, 2013

When the media & politicians exhort that deals are in the making—BEWARE!  The exhortation “Deals” in political parlance states loudly & clearly that middleclass citizens are about to be screwed again.

Citizens that are not comatose or complicit are aware that President Obama’s Arkansas’ enabler Gov. Mike Beebe is well on the way to putting another 250,000 (that is ¼ MILLION) residents on the Arkansas Medicaid welfare rolls.  I say residents simply because we do not know how illegal Mexicans & OTM’s are programed into the travesty and our governor, out of the side of his mouth, states he does not know how many illegals are nesting in the Natural State—a lie.

Enter incoming President of the Arkansas Senate Michael Lamoureux (POI—Russellville) who stated “I am open to Medicaid Deal” and he believes a deal can be accomplished that adds another 250,000 deadbeats to the welfare rolls of an already ultra-bloated bureaucracy. The august legislative body states it will not cost Arkansas citizens one dime, it will be paid for by the federal government…with what?  Are our legislators so simple-minded enough to believe anything emanating out of DC is an absolutism? And just where do said legislators think the Fed gets the money?

Lamoureux and other members of the former Republican Party, now the “Party of Irrelevance” (POI) will tell their constituents they are against more new taxes and for limited government.  What a crock!  Some of their POI brothers in D.C. increased the debt ceiling, accompanied by a current deficit of $16.4 TRILLION and 2 of the Arkansas’ POI’s voted to increase taxes (the Fiscal Cliff)—the “Travellin’ Man Senator John Boozman (POI), the tax & spender Rep. Steve Womack (POI-Rogers), and Rep. Mike Ross (D) who cast the deciding vote to enshrine us with Obamacare, followed by the big legislative zero Sen. (Pryor’s for life) Mark Pryor (D).

The “Deal” will be consummated as usual and middleclass Arkansans will continue to be oppressed with more political & economic burdens and cowardice.   The POI’s will fold like a cheap lawn chair pursuing their own perceived self-interests.

What is the end-game of “welfare mania” that Obama and his legislative disciples are pursuing—is it a 3rd World, multi-cultural, communist society?  It appears so.

Arkansas legislators do not seem to understand or care that our former preeminent Republic is bankrupt and if you question that remark look no further than the $75-100 TRILLION in unfunded mandates—Social Security, Medicare, and yes Medicaid.

The projected add-on will put at least 1,030,000 on welfare in Arkansas with a population of 2.5 million. Governor Beebe has added approximately 4,000 new state employees since initially taking office.  A study released today states the addition of 250,000 Arkansas residents to the welfare rolls will create 6,000 new jobs.  THE 6,000 ARE NOT JOBS BUT STATE GOVERNMENT POSITIONS, ALL OF WHICH DEMAND MORE TAX REVENUE FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR WHO UNDERGIRDS THE WELFARE THEFT, COMPLIMENTS OF ARKANSAS LEGISLATORS WHO ALLEGEDLY ARE ENGAGED IN THE GUARDING OF INDIVIDUALS’ FREEDOMS & PROPERTY!
Do the existing and projected numbers not send cold chills up the backs of taxpayers?

The “Achieve Act” amnesty scam


THE IRRELEVENT REPUBLICAN PARTY & VOTE BUYING

Senators Kay Hutchison, John McCain, & Jon Kyl:            November 28, 2012

Senator Hutchison, I listened to your TV explanation of your Achieve Act that was obviously hastily concocted post Nov. 6 election debacle.

What you articulated was a not so veiled call for amnesty for apparently a select segment of illegal Mexicans and OTM’s…all of which is unconstitutional, under the heading of what you call the “Achieve Act”. 

Aside from the unconstitutional and unprincipled call for blanket amnesty, you fail to detail, of course on purpose, what would happen to the 20-25 million (no, not 12 million) adult illegals who are nesting in our former preeminent republic.

And in my judgment, and more importantly, there was no plan to seal our southern border contiguous with Mexico. The fact that the three of you left out the very factor that is killing America and turning it into a 3rd World dump, i.e. mass immigration, you can only be framed as constitutional traitors and hell-bent on destroying middleclass America.

The sophomoric act you put on Senator Hutchison is transparent and precisely why the Republican Party as of Nov. 7 is irrelevant.

The vote buying scheme will not be successful.  Why?  Do you three really believe you can out-Democrat a Democrat?  And then there is the matter of principle, which is a forgotten commodity in D.C., not to mention the willful breaking of immigration laws found in 8 USC…which is a felony.

By your positions and acts you are proposing to destroy the bedrock of Western Civilization & society, i.e. the middleclass by turning our country into a 3rd World multicultural colossus—power & votes.

P.S. Do you three believe you will receive a net gain for your proposed betrayal in ensnaring legal & illegal Mexicans & OTM’s, versus the defection of real Conservatives?  We shall see.
