very little respect for them.”

Obviously John drank the Kool Aid that the liberal mainstream media has been serving. What the left learned in the 60’s and 70’s was from the teachings of Saul Alinsky is that “organization for action will now and in the decade’s ahead center on America’s white middle class.” Why you ask? Because according to Alinsky “when more than three fourths of our people from both their economics and their self identification are middle class, it is obvious that their action or inaction will determine the direction of change.”

Alinsky also teaches that “all issues must be polarized if action is to follow.” That is why the
administration and their allies in the liberal media have initiated this all out assault against
conservatives and tea party members, calling us racists for supporting Arizona’s immigration law or denouncing the president’s agenda. By continuing to play the racisim card they are trying to marginalize conservatives and keep the all important independents in their camp. No one wants to be considered racist and that’s why it’s vital for conservatives to continue to win our battles in the arena of ideas.

Like most liberals, Cabarruvias results to name calling conservatives WART’s (White, Angry, Republican, Tea-baggers). Well John, let’s look at the facts about which party is racist and which one really stands up for equal rights. The Republican Party is the party that ended slavery. The Republican Party is the party that repealed the Fugitive Slave Act. The Republican Party passed the Civil Rights Act against strong opposition from the Democratic Party and especially Democratic Senator and former Klansman John Byrd. Of course President Clinton tried to sugar coat it by saying “Byrd was a good ‘ol boy just trying to get elected.” Okay, that’s why he held leadership positions within the Klan and actively recruited more than 150 members. Ironically, Senator Byrd died on the anniversary of the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Act.

The Administration drops charges against the Black Panthers who clearly were engaged in voter intimidation and are on video, publicly professing their hate of white people, and calling for the murder of white people and their babies. Who’s the racist here Mr. Cobarruvias?

He also has to fall back on the tired excuse of blaming Bush for all the problems in America. I’ve got news for you Mr. Cabarruvia, this administration is going on two years now and the bulk of the problems and the unprecedented spending are theirs.

He says the economic crisis was born from Republicans. Wrong! The economic crisis is directly tied to the Democrats during the Clinton Administration. After being elected, the Bush administration warned in 2001 and 2003 of impending disaster and attempted to regulate Fannie and Freddie. It was Democrat Barney Frank who defended Fannie & Freddie who had secured more than $12 TRILLION in mortgages, mostly sub prime. Barney Frank (1:22) said “Fannie May and Freddie Mac are not in a crisis.” He went on to say they were “financially sound” and said we should be doing more to get low income people into housing. John McCain introduced legislation in 2006 to regulate the two institutions, however, it was blocked in a straight party line vote by Democrats. Now because of the actions of Democrats, Fannie and Freddie have fallen so far that they have been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

We would be better off investigating Senator Barney Frank, Senator Chris Dodd, Jamie Gorelick, Fannie May CEO’s Franklin Raines, Daniel Mudd, Herbert Allison, and Michael Wilson as well as Freddie Mac CEO’s Dick Syron and David Moffett. These are the real culprits of the financial meltdown not unbridled capitalism and companies making their own rules.

I don’t recall the left being up in arms over Franklin Raines raking in his $90 million in bonuses while he ran that company into the ground. How about Jamie Gorelick and her $26 million? Why didn’t the SEIU thugs show up on her front lawn in protest? Because the left politicizes everything, as their god Saul Alinsky says “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Obama and his administration certainly did they are trying to distract America away from the real culprits of the financial crisis while blaming Wall Street and the Republicans.

Mr. Cobarruvias talks about Bush’s debt when he left office, which was admittedly atrocious, and conservatives around the country were railing against this. John says that it’s $1.3 Trillion when Bush left and I’m actually going to correct it to a higher number of 2.63 trillion. However, in 18 short months, with the Democrats controlling all three branches of government, the national debt has skyrocketed to nearly $13.2 trillion. What do we have to show for the bankrupting of our country?

Unemployment rates that compare with those of the great depression and that are being artificially lowered by the government hiring more than a million temporary census workers. Government control of auto makers, banks, and soon to be health care. Now the administration is trying to pass legislation that would allow it to seize even more control of private enterprise.

The administration is also using the Gulf oil spill disaster to try to ram through the American Power Act also known as Cap and Trade. These policies have failed all over Europe and are being repealed in France, Britain, and elsewhere. On numerous occasions the President and John Kerry have cited Spain as the model for this legislation. Well let’s look at what the people in Spain are dealing with:
• 20% unemployment rate
• Every green job created caused 2.2 people to loose their jobs
• The housing crisis in Spain is 6 times worse than the US on a per capita basis
• Spain’s debt to GDP is 270%, Greece was 170% when it received its bailout and is still likely to require further assistance or total collapse.
• Each green job created cost $855,000.00 per job

That sure sounds like legislation that’s right for America. The president likes to say that “we consume more than 20 percent of the world’s oil, but have less than 2 percent of the world’s oil reserves. And that’s part of the reason oil companies are drilling a mile beneath the surface of the ocean -- because we’re running out of places to drill on land and in shallow water.”

That is patently untrue. Environmentalists are the reason we’re drilling a mile offshore because regulations prevent them from drilling in shallower water where we have the technology to respond to this type of disaster. There are massive reserves in ANWR. In fact, estimates put the total at 16 billion barrels or the equivalent that we import from Saudi Arabia for 30 years.

How about all of the oil off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts? Both Petro China and Petro Bras (Petro Brazil) are drilling off the coast of our coast between Florida and Cuba yet American companies cannot drill there. The fact is that there is an estimated 86 billion barrels of oil off our coast.

It is also estimated that there are over 800 billion barrels of oil in shale lying in the Rocky Mountains. There are also billions of barrels lying in the Dakotas and Montana but strict environmental regulation prevent us from tapping these massive reserves.

Regardless of how you try to spin it, the Democrats and the Obama administration have been a disaster but we won’t let facts get in the way.
