Doctor Tom's Rant

Where will the Green Line be in 2016 if Obama gets a second term?

Home owners and would be home buyers must understand these facts about their homes and future purchases. As I have said, education is the most important part of this blog and any issue that affects me will affect you.  Happy Educating: How Taxes Drive Down Home Values "In the past five years, house prices have declined to 2003 levels, and the average home declined in price by 3.9 percent over the last year alone.  National politicians are scrambling to reverse the trend.  But the remedy lies in state houses and town halls, says Nicole Gelinas, a contributing editor to the Manhattan Institute's City Journal. A house is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it in monthly costs. But when you buy a house, you're not just committing to a mortgage -- you are also promising to pay the future property taxes on that house. What drives those local property taxes are the future costs of paying state and local workers and retirees, particularly retirees' pensions and health

  To My Democrat Friends:  Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012 but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color,

President Barack Obama may need a vacation from his vacation. Obama is in Hawaii for a delayed Christmas vacation. But the cost of the trip -- about $4 million total -- has created a firestorm. Michelle Obama insisted on the pricey Hawaiian holiday while her husband had said he preferred a short trip to the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., The Daily Mail reported Friday, citing news accounts. The trip to Hawaii is expected to cost taxpayers almost $4 million, and is the latest example of Michelle Obama's skyrocketing spending, sources told the National Enquirer, according to The Daily Mail. “ The President’s advisers have told him that Michelle’s spending has spiralled completely out of control,” the National Enquirer quoted one source as saying. “Barack read his wife the riot act, but his words fell on deaf ears. Michelle said there was 'no way' she was going to disappoint her daughters."  Newsmax.com: Obama Heading Off on $4 million Hawaii Vacation

I was just loafing around the house the other day and started to think about some things that really didn't make any sense. So, I jotted some down and now there seems to be enough of them that I'm really confused. Maybe, you could help me! 1. Where are Obama's girlfriends. I saw an email asking this and it really hit me. He did date, didn't he? 2. Where are Obama's college friends? Gosh, you would think someone would pop up and say he or she was a friend or acquaintance back when, right? 3. Where are the professors who taught him? You would think, most professors being LIBERALS AND progressive, would be so proud to say they educated Obama, right? 4. Where are some of the bosses or people or organizations, other then ACORN, who Obama worked for? Wouldn't at least one of them show up, beaming and state they hired him once? 5. How about some basketball buddies? Yeah, Obama liked to play basketball back when, but there aren't some guys he played with reg

Did you know that Rachel Maddow has been a more frequent visitor to Obama than any major dignitary or head of state in the world? Does this not tell you what kind of president we have. He only meets with and develops relationships with people who parrot his own viewpoints and say what he wants to hear. Narcissism:"  means inflated self-importance,  egotism ,  vanity ,  conceit , or simple  selfishness .  This man exhibits all of these. His philosophy and ideology of how America and the world should be are so irrational, flawed, and misguided, it is a wonder anyone would be willing to follow his creed. The character flaws he presents everyday are as transparent as the weather at any given time. He lies yet he believes what he is saying at the moment he says it. This is an incredibly obvious inner sickness or disease that can not be cured. His presence in the White House is tragic for America and horrendously destructive to our culture and place in the world if he should hav

                            Costly Regulations Cost Us American Jobs According to a September 2010 report from the Small Business Administration, total regulatory costs amount to $1.75 trillion annually—enough money for businesses to provide 17.5 million private sector jobs with an average salary of $100,000. As of 2008, small businesses—which have created 64 percent of all new jobs in the past 15 years—face an annual regulatory cost of $10,585 per employee, which is 36 percent higher than the regulatory cost facing large firms. Some of these regulations include requiring microwave manufacturers to measure the amounts of energy their products use in the “off” position, stricter regulations on the amount of dust on American farms or imposing a fee on tree sales to promote tree sales. Unfortunately, President Obama continues to make the burden worse. According to Republican staff estimates, the government’s health care takeover has already added 6,578 pages of regulations and Federal Reg

Ok, Ok, let's get this straight. Obama and the Occupiers want: 1. Level Playing Field for all 2. Fair Play for All 3. Fair Share for only a few Right? Well that equates to: 1. No Jobs 2. No Incentive 3. No Innovation 4. No Entrepreneurship 5. No wealth 6. Sick Economy 7. NO PROSPERITY!!                                                                                                   Exactly What Obama, The Occupiers, The Liberals, The Progressives, and The Communists Want!                                                                       DO YOU?

Harry Ried, Obama's Go-To Boy, has stalled almost all of the House's Job Bills I thought Obama wanted so desperately to create jobs! I'm not thinking so! "You Gotta a-lot-of Esplaining To Do, Obama!!"

Obama has shown his true colors once again. He is not pulling any punching on his full fledged campaign to inhabit the White House. Yes, that's all he can do, inhabit. He certainly has no abilitiy to lead. He has done nothing positive in 3 years for America. He even can't say when the Iraq war is over. One day he says, “Today” and the next day, he says, “This Month.” He can not get himaelf to say the word, “Victory”, and when he give thanks to people who fought the war, 4500 Americans did not come home, he first listed the Iraqi people before our troops. He also had the audacity to invite a former Iranian Guard leader, respsonsible for 19 Americans dead in Saudi Arbia bombing to the White House for a ceremony “Ending the Iraq War.” This man is a true embarrassment to America, and he really doeasn't care who knows it. He flaunts his Marxist and communistic ideology everyday like a high school cheer leading girl without the pompoms, using a teleprompter instead. Such an u

America's life line is an oil-based economy. Others may jump up, scream and yell about the benefits of solar, wind and ethanol, but there is no way these will ever, I mean ever, be alternatives to oil. We need it and we will need it for decadesand centuries to come. We have a great deal of it here in our country but Obama won't budge from his policy of “Screw America.” Now Cnada wants to bring our lifeline of fluid to the US and Obama again stands in the way. I have extracted the main points from an article posted from “Personal Liberty Digest for you to read and educate yourself as to the destructive policies of Obama. They are not hidden anymore. He blatantly waves his socialistic mindset in front of all Americans to witness. It is incredible tha there are those who still are loyal to such a foreigner. Obama An Agent For OPEC?

                                                   "Obama and the liberal agenda will kill Americans."                                                             An astounding declaration, but so very true.                            Read the following and if you are a democrat, maybe you should change your mind                                                     especially since you, too, are growing older everyday.

Many people do not really understand the unions and what they really try do. I have tried to explain that they were useful once, but now they seem to be overbearing and down right aggressive toward any company that has allowed them to enter the work space. The mandated dues from the members are used to donate to politiciians who, if elected, will then negotiate with the unions for better benefits. The workers are really not a real part of the union other than those so loyal as to used as goons to intimidate the rest and other non-union people. Companies understand the importance of good, loyal, and well paid employees. They become more productive when happy and believe in the company's aspirations and product. It is not as in the earlier 1900's. There is much more interconnection between management and staff. The following video will give you a very good understanding of the kind of work unions insist on and what benefits are obtained through intimidation and strikes. Pleas

A Man, who has earned his place in history, retired yesterday! A man who served his country with dignity and pride and altered the Iraq war so significantly that his strategy will be used in future wars of its kind.  A man who, through it all, was calm, cool, collected and went to work silently and effectively. Strong leaders surround themselves with the most excellent people they can find, even those brighter and more capable than themselves.  Weak, arrogant, insincere, hypocritical, and self-centered individuals don't.  It is a shameful disgrace, exposing the indifference of Obama, that the Commander-in-Chief this man honorably served did not appear  and salute this America Hero.     "THE WASHINGTON TIMES  , EDITORIAL     EDITORIAL: An old soldier who won't fade away     Obama is outclassed and outsmarted by retiring Gen.

Obama has sent out his lemmings all over America to tell the black community, now, how much he has done for them. Of couse, he, as usual, doesn't realize that they have a deep disappointment over Obama’s failure to enact the kind of progressive agenda they feel they were promised in 2008. So, in his own prevaricating style, he has outlined what great things he has done like Obamacare: unemployment compensation that has increased the national debt , and public education over hauls and encouraging minority entrepreneurship.  The US test scores are the lowest they have been for a long time, and no one can start a new business with all the regulations that squash entrepreneurship. None of these have helped the black community, period. He is just laying these falsehoods out there believing that the blacks will believe without evaluating the facts. The message, being conveyed by his campaign workers and volunteers dispatched to beauty and barber shops, church halls and ne

OK, folks, I'm just so damn irritated by these statisitcs that are banted about all the time, the most recent being the unemployment rate dropping .4%. This is a bunch of hog wash. As once said, “you can do anything with numbers!', and the government has for sure. When 315,000 thousand people have stopped looking for work because they have tried and tried and there are no jobs for them, that means there are 315,000 more people out of work,UNEMPLOYED, period! Our government, I have no idea why, considers those people no longer in the the unemployment ranks. This is lunacy! This is a way to “smoke and mirror “ the uninformed and ignorant Americans who do not understand the government's methods of deception or those who just take whatever the government says as gospel. OMG, and the lies. Obama said we have had 21 straight months of job creation, but in August, 2011, there were none whatsoever!!! Does he not know the real stats or is he lying once again. I pick the latter. H

This is a letter sent out by Dudley Brown, Executive Director of National Association for Gun Rights. The gist of this whole letter is that if you allow a government official too much power and prestige, they feel that they are too elite and above the law. Politicians and other elected officials, as a group, have the most chances to be coerced into the temptation of accepting minor "compensations" as they serve their terms. There are some who have the willpower and proper sense of duty to not cross the line and continue to perform well for their country. Then, there are some who go overboard, lose their sense of decency, and become evil to the core. We have witnessed this type of behavoir in many officials over the decades, and this is the story of another: “ You know what they say about absolute power corrupting absolutely… One of the reasons I am so opposed to the government being involved in our Second Amendment rights is that it takes the power away from you and puts i
