Rob Kidwell: The Hard Line

The Real Deal

2009-08-04T05:06:00.000-07:00

America,
How wrong is it for us to discriminate against someone who has different views than you? Apparently for the management of Concord Mills Galleria Mall, it's OK. I know most of you have been following the happenings and it's completely UN-American for this to take place in today's world. Look at what happened up in Mass, with the Harvard Prof and the cop. Here's a man who is trying to do his job, and here is another man who refuses to cooperate and what do you hear from our President? That the cop was stupid and his friend was right. Obama clearly showed that he is a racist on this level and a keg wouldn't solve that issue. I mean the President cant even admit that he is bi-racial.

I want you to really think about this so called CASH FOR CLUNKERS deal that's going on. They call it a way to reduce smog emissions, but isn't it really just another bail out for the auto industry? Hey Big wigs in D.C., how about you give me $4500.00 to pay off my vehicle, then I can use the savings to pay off debts, or by more products. Obama, that would be trickle up economics, not what your doing now. How much did the Unions of the auto industry "donate" for your campaign? Obviously more than the doctors of this country!

That brings me to the "Health Care Plan" that the liberals are fighting for. America, this is just another way for the government to exert more control over you. Not only that, it lets the government control what treatments you get. Patriots, the government has been unable to run the auto industry, the banking industry, or the train industry (Amtrak). When things don't go their way they fire who's in charge and put a CZAR in charge who has no knowledge of the industry. They have admitted that the government run "medicare" will be broke in less than 10 years. So why in the hell would we let them take over the "Management" of our health?

Don't sit by and let the liberals control your future, that is not what America was founded on!

Until next time,

Silence

A double Standard exposed!

2009-07-23T20:41:00.000-07:00

I read the story on the "Free Market Warrior Kiosk" and owner Mr. Spivack battle of free speech today. I thought that when a President of mixed races was voted into office, people would begin to stop thinking of everything as an attack on race, but rather as an attack on issues or character. Mr. Spivack as the same right as those who sell the anti-Bush paraphernalia that we have seen over the past 8 years. He also has the same rights as the thousands of spectators at President Obama's inauguration when they sang the song lyrics "na-na-na na-na-na-na hey hey hey goodbye" when President Bush was being flown away in the helicopter. I would first like to address Jennifer Ibanez who wrote that the material that the "Free Market Warrior" sold was "supporting racism, sexism, and slavery "and called his products "uncivilized and outdated" Ms. Ibanez, you are a bigot and a racist. If you cannot look past another person’s views and you criticize them for their views, then yes you are exactly what you claim Mr. Spivacks material to be. You are supporting racism, sexism, and slavery, and your ideas that the world is a perfect place and we should never question the government or a person based on their character is uncivilized and outdated. You are supporting the same views that so many fought and died for during the civil rights era, those of free speech, and being allowed to be themselves without being forced out of a business or forced to hide their feelings. In fact Mrs. Ibanez, we are still fighting that fight today against people like you. As for the owner of the Concord Mills Mall, well you’re buckling under the pressure of a couple of letters shows exactly the standard of your character. You sir, are a coward. I know that many of you reading this will be gasping in disgust from my words and thinking the worst of me. I don't care. My family emigrated from Ireland in the early 1900's. My grandfathers, father, uncles, cousins, and brothers served in the military for my right to free speech, for your right to free speech, for Mr. Spivack's right to free speech. Martin Luther King, a registered Republican, in his speeches he wanted for all us to be treated equal, so why is it ok for one person to sell anti-conservative, anti-Bush material, but when another sells the anti-liberal, anti-Obama material it’s not ok? I hope this letters finds you all well and ready to stand up for American Rights.

Another threat to steal the American Dream

2009-07-16T06:00:00.001-07:00

We the American People should fear what the house passed yesterday. In a vote, directly down the party lines, a new health care version was passed. Patriots this bill is a joke! Not only does it put our health care in the hands of a government that continues its reach into our households, but it will cost thousands of Americans jobs. The democrats, when confronted by the AMA and other insurance groups threatened to assess new fees to cover this program if they didn’t go along with it. Now that sounds like coercion tactics to me….Do what I want or you’re going to pay! To expand on it, the Obama administration said it will tax the rich to pay for it. His tax increases would be higher than those of the 1980’s. His administration also said that if that doesn’t cover the cost, they will just raise them even more. So let’s add this up America, the Obama administration is using threats against the American businessman and woman to get what they want, they are going to essentially rob the rich to give to the poor, and if it isn’t enough, they will take more. Our current government is bringing back slavery! Yes, Slavery! Think about it going to a class of people who have worked hard to achieve what they have and they are taking it from them. Then they are telling them that they will take more, and what they are taking they are making the rest of us use. They are keeping the rich in line, and showing the rest of us what will happen if we attempt to succeed. Obama, who has had the opportunity to inspire and live the American dream, is now stealing away from all of us. Don’t be fooled Patriots, this is one more step to socialism. If you need more proof that the liberals are heading this way I ask you to read the bill H.J. Res 5, which repeals the 22nd article of the constitution, that limits the amount of terms the President serves. That’s right, they don’t want us to vote a new person in office, and they want you to have a dictator. They also want to go by popular vote only which can be manipulated by the media as they have put in bill H.J. Res 9 that would eliminate the electoral college. We cannot stand by and watch what the founding fathers sacrificed so much for, be thrown out into the garbage. Stand with me and yell to the Capitol Hill liberals who want to steal the American Dream and tell them we will not accept it!

Gov. Bev Purdue thinks your STUPID!

2009-07-10T10:21:00.000-07:00

When did it become acceptable for our elected officials to use scare tactics to what they want? Gov. Bev Purdue is following the Obama administration’s socialistic and imperialistic ways of governing by threatening the public. If you haven’t noticed they believe that if they scare the American voters that we the people will do whatever they want. We are not stupid; we can make an informed decision. Why won’t, why don’t they want us to have all the information so we can make and educated and informed decision? It’s because they are scared of you and me putting the screws to them. They put bills up for vote without letting anybody read them. They tell the world, that if we don’t do what they want, it will be life ending. They get mad as hell when you question their actions. America, we need to keep pissing them off. We owe it to ourselves and our children to challenge the government on this. We are not mindless drones who don’t know what to do; we are capable of amazing things, such as making decisions on anything. Write a letter, make a phone call, send an email and tell them that you will not accept this behavior any more. Join me friends and fight the leaders that ignore our best interest.

Life, Libert, and the Pursuit of Happiness

2009-07-09T10:22:00.000-07:00

My Friends,
It has been several weeks since I have last written to you, and yes so much has happened in that time. We the People, have watched the governor of South Carolina disgrace himself, not just because of the affair, but because he was AWOL.
We finally saw justice for the Connecticut fire fighters, proving that racism can go towards any color, and that we need to move past it.
North Korea and Iran, yes my friends they continue to puff out their chest, and our government continues to hide behind soft words. The dem’s secured another seat in Washington, which could help them control all of our lives.
The President gave the FDA control over an entire industry…..I would say that is a tad bit socialistic, yet the media says nothing. The President has signed a bill that limits how much power a light bulb can use….Again, seems a little more communist than normal, Right?
One of the most or I should say least talked about items that we haven’t heard about is the Cap and Trade bill. Patriots stand up and fight against this bill. The liberals say it’s a way to decrease our energy usage, yet all it does is tax us. Yes that’s right raised taxes, and it doesn’t say just the rich, it says everyone. As I recall during the election, the Obama train was only going to tax the upper 5%, now it seems that upper 5% includes us here in the lower 95%.
The people in Washington D.C, our elected officials, live in a bubble. They have no idea what we go through day to day, they say they do, but when’s the last time we’ve seen them take a pay cut, have their benefits frozen, had to make a choice between what bills they would pay. Did you know that the average elected official in the house makes 175 thousand dollars a year? Did you know that there are 593 of these officials? The Obama administration wants to put a surtax on people and couples who make over 200 thousand dollars a year. The Obama administration wants to put salary caps on executives. The Obama Administration wants to take away our rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
I have written them many times, and asked them these questions, and you should too. “Why do you insist on passing these massive tax bills, government bailouts, and socialistic takeovers of the American business? Why don’t you give yourselves a pay cut of 100 thousand dollars? That would be a savings of 593 million dollars a year. Why do you continue to ignore the people of the United States of America, and continue to apologize and send money to foreign nations?”
Patriots, start sending them your questions! Start fighting for you rights! Start believing again in the American Dream of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!

Congrats N.C. Liberals, your change has arrived!

2009-06-15T17:29:00.000-07:00

Congratulations N.C. Liberals, you voted for change across the board, and now you have gotten it. The N.C. House has Okayed the new budget and is sending it on to the State Senate for approval. We on the right get, but you on the left continue to stick your head in the sand when you vote for these guys. Let’s break it down for you. They have approved a budget over $18 Billion dollars, with $780 million in new taxes. $3 Billion in program cuts. I already hear the voices from the left, “it’s ok, their just taxing the ultra rich, their cutting pork programs, we believe”. Wake up and smell crap pile liberals of North Carolina, the new taxes affect almost everyone rich and poor. All universities will raise tuition, the state sales tax, for all of us will be raised, oh and it’s now applied to other things, such as digital downloads, and all of the LLC companies will now be taxed. I guess we will see the unemployment go up as they close their doors. If that doesn’t bother you, then maybe the program’s they are cutting will. The budget calls for more teacher cuts, that meens they lose their jobs. Hey bigger classrooms is better for the kids right? They are cutting social service programs. We already have an overloaded SS program, trying to keep up with so many families and kids, but hey it’s ok right liberals. We can sacrifice a few kids to make a budget. Now if change is what you believed in, then get ready, because they are also cutting all state financial aid. Sorry recent grads, if you can’t come up with the money for college, you’ll just have to go out and get a job….”good luck from the dems on that one”. Now this particular one is for you parents of the left persuasion. The dems want to cut early childhood programs. That’s not just for the rich, but for the middle class and the poor as well. The one that affects us all, no matter what status we have is Prisons. We just can’t afford to keep the men and women who are convicted of crimes in prisons, so we’re going to let them out. That’s right early parole, hope you don’t mind. Now to be fare, here are just a few programs and $$ that were not cut from the budget. $13.1 million to public television programming. $19.5 million to a Kannapolis research facility. $2.3 million to the UNC President personal slush fund. $2.3 million to the NC Symphony. $492 thousand to a furniture manufacturing and management facility. One of my personal favorites is $563 thousand to an ergonomics center at NCSU. So just the tip of the iceberg of this pork spending is around $43.6 Million dollars. I don’t think I need to make my case any further, but contact your elected officials and ask them why?
Pass this on to your friends, especially those who are teachers, police officers, firemen.

NC Dem's want to add another 1 Billion in Taxes

2009-06-09T16:15:00.000-07:00

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Hold on to your wallets and purses. The NC Dem's want to add an additional 1 BILLION dollars in taxes. Oh and they are taking a page out of the US Dem's and not letting anybody see it until about an hour before they vote for it. Stand up and fight against this type of reckless taxation. They have proved time and time again that they do not care for the average NC Citizen, by imposing such tax hikes. They also have eliminated the gas tax cap, which opens it up for another 68 million in gas tax hikes. My friends, neither party has the answers to everything, but is increasing how much we are taxed really the answer? We are moving dangerously closer to a socialist state where the government can tax any and everything to suit their needs. In this budget they also call for another 1000 teachers to be let go. Have they looked to cut their own salaries to help the people they were elected by? I encourage you to send them all emails, phone calls, letters, smoke signals, whatever to let them no that you will not sit quietlly by and let this happen. Join the Tea Parties, your local political groups and start making a difference today. I have included emails for you to copy, paste and let them know that you do care.

Got an extra 8 Million lying around?

2009-06-04T17:29:00.000-07:00

How do you feel about spending $8,000,000.00 for a study on a street car? You actually won’t get the street car; you will get a bunch of diagrams and a nice power point presentation on how it would work. Did I mention it will span about 10 miles. That’s right citizens of Charlotte, NC the city council has approved in their budget, by an All Democrat vote for it and All Republican vote against, for this study. Mayoral Candidate, Anthony Fox said the study would help determine how much it would cost. So let me see, we will spend eight million tax dollars to find out how much it would cost to have a street car in Charlotte that goes 10 miles from east to west. Again Democrat Anthony Fox said it would be a growth strategy for the Charlotte area. Mr. Fox, you are telling me that you believe a street car that goes back in forth through the Queen City would promote growth? Seriously, what business would move here because of a trolley? But wait folks, it does get better. You see we already know that the project would cost an estimated 373 million dollars, again of tax payer’s money, to be completed. That’s only 37,300,000 dollars per mile. Why would the democrats want to spend an additional eight million dollars if we already have an estimated cost? It’s simple; they do not value you or the money you work hard for. To further explain that comment, the city council has voted for a 15% increase in the cost for water and a 5% increase in storm water rates. You remember when they asked us to cut back because of the water shortage, well we did, and now they are not so happy we are so green.
So if you think that Mr. Fox is here for you, then you have another thing coming. He obviously does not care about you or how the economy is affecting you. He’s the one pushing for a street car named “ridiculous” and agrees that a hike in water rates is necessary since you’ve done such a great job in conserving during a drought. Hey city council, how about spending the eight million on the school system or paving our roads?
ON a separate note, to all the teachers out there in North Carolina, The House Democrats in Raleigh are planning on proposing a budget that would cut the education spending by 12%. That means that about thousands of teachers would lose their jobs in the 2010 year. I have many friends that are teachers and most of them liberals and this question will be directed to you. To my liberal friends, is this the change you wanted? You are losing your jobs, and the state still wants to spend more money. I will leave you with one quote today my friends.
It's not tyranny we desire; it's a just, limited, federal government.Alexander Hamilton

Are you Proud to be a Republican?

2009-06-01T16:26:00.000-07:00

Are you Proud to be a Republican?

Are you proud to be a member of the Republican Party? I know it is a strange question to ask, but it’s one that is worth asking. It seems that many people think the word, Republican, to be dirty or a word that is spoken in disgust. It also seems that many Republican themselves are scared to say that they are a member of, or that they are affiliated with the GOP. Why? Are they afraid they won’t get the support from the masses if they admit it? Are they afraid that they will be shunned by their friends or co-workers if they say they are a Republican? I can’t answer these questions, only ask them, well ask you them. You see, I am a Republican, and I am proud of it. I am not a racist because I’m a Republican. I am not a member of the economic elite because I’m a Republican. I am not a terrorist because I’m a Republican. I am a Republican because I believe in small government. I am a Republican because I believe that it is the right for every American Citizen to earn the American dream. I am a Republican because I believe the United States is the land of opportunity and freedom, and all opportunity and all freedom, is worth fighting for.
As a member of the Republican Party, I am privileged to be associated with a great political heritage. One that began with a dream to abolish slavery, because all men were created equal and should be treated so. Abraham Lincoln believed in that, and he was a great Republican. The GOP went on to play a leading role in the civil rights era, again fighting for the rights of all Americans, women and men, of all colors, to be treated equal. One Republican, Martin Luther King Jr., helped win that fight. After years of economic turmoil, it was a Republican president by the name of Ronald Regan, who brought back America from that near disaster. You see my friends we have a long wonderful history to be proud of, not ashamed of. So the next time you’re asked, who did you vote for? Are you a Republican? How do you feel about the current left wing administration’s policies? What are you going to say? I know what I will say! I voted for a Republican! I am proud to be a Republican! I am a Republican and I believe that the current administration is ruining America and the American Dream!
So, in conclusion, the next time you’re asked the questions above or asked who supports your group, or what affiliation you are? Tell them you are a member of the Republican Party.
