Ladies and gentlemen, I have some bittersweet news today. First, the bitter part of it. Obama's stimulus plan has passed the US House of Representatives. This plan is doomed to fail, and it will send the US into even more debt. Anyone with half a brain can see this package is loaded with pork, and anything that isn't pork is the government cannibalizing the private sector.
The good news? The good news is that Republicans banded together to send Obama a message of defiance. Unanimously, Republicans voted no on this, putting up 188 votes saying that this plan will only further hurt the American public. Conservatives in this country aren't as fringe the media will lead you to believe. It's not just people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity saying this plan is junk. This is one of the best examples of party unity I've ever seen. I mean, even 11 Democrats voted against this bill.
Why is it important that Republicans stand against this bill? There are 2 reasons:
1. It shows just how much of a "Great Unifier" Obama is. Even memebers of the house that he sat down with and talked with personally weren't convinced by this load of crap. Obama claimed he'd take conservative concerns seriously, and then he refused to put any tax cuts on this. Don't buy in to what the media is saying. Obama is a LIBERAL. He only has his party's best interests in mind, and he'll lie about being bipartisan at every turn. This wouldn't be a big deal if he wasn't lying about being bipartisan, but it just shows how much of a snake he is.
2. Once this policy comes to it's inevitable conclusion of failure, and mark my words, it will fail, the Democrats can't place any sort of blame on Republicans. It will wreck their party's image for years. It will be 1994 all over again in 2010, and Republicans will take back the Congress in a big way. That's when the fun really begins. You say you want to see the recovery of the GOP? This is laying the foundation for a huge return. As long as we stand strong against Obama, we can expose him for the fool that he is.
When I first read this story, it was one of the few points of happiness I've read in politics in the past month. When we band together like this, even when we don't have the majority, we can still send a powerful message. Prepare for the resurgence of the right, because it is coming folks. We can take Obama's legacy and drag it through the mud. We can prove that he is all sizzle and no steak.
Until next time folks, I'm that Conservative College Guy, and we are America.

Facebook-like stupid petitioning by the Democratic Party.
We got a good one today folks, because just reading this article inspired so much rage that I could actually feel my blood pressure rising.
http://cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=42616
There are two reasons why this angers me:
1. A common cry of Democrats and liberals right now is that Republicans and conservatives just need to grow up. So why does this petition seem like a petition being passed around Facebook by some teenage girls because they don't like what they serve in their high school cafeteria? This is probably the most childish thing ever conceived by the Democratic party. How dare they have someone who calls them out on who they are? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I understand that, but that doesn't mean your opinion makes you look mature, in fact, it can have quite the opposite effect. This is another prime example of a private citizen being attacked by the government.
2. They didn't play the full clip. They didn't explain what he said at all. Allow me to present the full transcript of what was said:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_011609/content/01125113.guest.html
Now, actually reading this transcript gives a completely different story. Mr. Limbaugh harbors no ill will towards Barack Obama, the person. However, Rush does not want to see his policies succeed. And why would he? I don't recall liberals exactly rooting for any policies that Bush set out. Double standards are running wild right now. Rush doesn't have to apologize for anything he's said, and he should continue saying it. Opposing opinions are something that makes this country great. Liberals are trying to destroy a cornerstone of American Politics right now.
Readers, I strongly suggest that you support Rush right now. He's the sole voice of conservative reason in these times right now. Send your emails the Democratic Congressional Campaign Comittee, asking why they are attacking a private citizen and why they are so afraid of someone with an opposite point of view.

Global Warming. IT'S A TRAP!
This is just gonna be a quick repost from my facebook, but this is more for any new readers than anything:
http://www.mlive.com/opinion/flint/index.ssf/2009/01/its_time_to_pray_for_global_wa.html
CO2 Emissions have nothing to do with Global warming. Global warming isn't happening right now. Global warming is a SCAM. I know this is going to be hard to believe, but Al Gore shouldn't be your prime source of information on climate. I'm going to side with 650 of the world's top climatologists and say it's a scam. After all, polar ice caps are up 5% since 1980. While that might not seem like a significant amount, it's a lot better than us losing polar ice.
So folks, don't get red in the face about going green. It's all a scam invented by liberals to make you feel guilty for polluting the earth and to atone for your guilt, they expect you to vote their people into office.

Bipartisanship. Believe it or not, conservatives are capable of it too.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_012609/content/01125108.guest.html
Now, I know this is going to hurt my Liberal guests to read this, but please, just read this and give it a fair shot.
Now, if you couldn't stand to read that, I'll give you the too long/didn't read version of it:
Obama is calling for a 1 Trillion dollar economic stimulus package. Now, the voter percentages broke down to roughly 54% Obama to 46% McCain in the last election. So, why not break up the stimulus package that way? Allow conservatives to use 460 billion as they see fit, and liberals can use 540 billion as they see fit, and then we'll observe the results. Everyone gets a piece of what they want. This is compromise. This is a true representation of the spirit of Bipartisanship.
Now, granted, I'd love to have the entire 1 Trillion for use by conservatives, but that isn't going to happen. So why not have this plan? It satisfies both ends, and allows for both sides to have a say, according to the votes they recieved, which represents this country more accurately.
So, what do conservatives want to use it for? Tax cuts, capital gains, and corporate tax rate reduction. We could also put it to use by reducing personal income tax rates. Now, a lot of you may be saying that that only really helps the companies, but buy helping the companies, it will help you. Don't believe me? Who hires our professionals in this country? Companies. Who are the professionals in this country? The college-educated population. The goal is to make more good paying jobs for Americans, not more minimum wage jobs. Once the corporations start getting back on their feet, the private sector will follow along. After all, who does the small businesses buy their supplies from? The big corporations.
Listen, I know Democrats talk about bipartisanship all the time. Now, it's time to stop talking about it and start being about it. This is a solid plan that allows everyone to get what they want. The olive branch has been extended to Liberals, now will you accept it?

Hello, and welcome to America in crisis.
Hello folks, and welcome to the first of hopefully many blogs that will discuss the crisis we have here in America today. I am your humble blogger, That Conservative College Guy, Jordan Bogart. A quick background on me:
I am a freshman Indiana State University as a Management Information Systems major. I was excited to escape Illinois, thinking I'd be moving to a red state, finally, but unfortunately Indiana disappointed this election cycle and went blue. I am also a Christian, I believe in God and his son's teachings, and that's a large part of me being a conservative. I'm also a follower of common sense, as I believe most true conservatives are.
In case you don't know exactly where I stand, let me show you where I stand on common political issues:
I am Pro-Life. Abortions have no place in this world and they are murder. I'll be re-posting a note from my Facebook here that has the details on that.
The government is not here to hand out welfare at every turn. I'm fine with people getting help when they truly need it. I'm not OK with people abusing the welfare system, leeching of people who make an honest living and work hard to keep their family fed, sheltered, clothed and protected. I believe welfare should be reduced to make there be motivation for people to want to get out of their situation.
I support the War on Terror. What happened on September 11th was absolutely inexcusable. Radical Islamic terrorists hating America for being the most successful nation on this planet (for now) and killing our citizens because of it is inexcusable. We need to stop these terrorists by whatever means necessary. If we need to torture the terrorists to protect American lives, then by all means, we need to do it. These terrorists have to be stopped if we are to enjoy any semblance of peace again.
I believe Global Warming is a scam. Again, this is something else I'll be re-posting from my Facebook, but it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the earth's climate moves in cycles. Don't buy the liberal agenda that you are to blame for this. Even if this was true, Al Gore, the champion of global warming, is the biggest hypocrite on this planet, flying private jets and having a complex that leaves one of the biggest "carbon footprints" to be seen.
I think you can see where I'm going with all of this. I'm a real conservative. Not one of these new "conservatives" that are pushing for more moderate policies. I'll be honest, I didn't vote in the 2008 election because it was a choice between two liberals. If I was asked to choose one, I would have chose McCain, but only for Sarah Palin. Palin represented a return to Reagan style conservatism, and that's what this country needs right now. Reagan's economic policies lead to the success that Clinton takes credit for in the 90's. Don't believe me? Look at the economy near the end of Clinton's time in office. It was starting to fall, and something people don't give Bush 43 enough credit for is for pulling us out of the 2001 recession.
In general, this blog will be about criticizing our current administration. Now, you might ask, why do something like that, that's not fair. I humbly disagree with you. The mainstream media (MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS) has attacked George W. Bush for the past 8 years, and they aren't treating Obama with the same style of criticism. Therefore, it's up to the little guy to do that. It's up to us common sense Conservatives to make this right. That's why I made this blog, so that the voice of conservatives could be heard. Obama is already trying to silence our voice, by attacking one of my favorite talk radio personalities, Rush Limbaugh. He has no right to do this, and I know Rush will continue on, and so will I. If you want "change" you can honestly believe in, look critically at this administration, and then in 2010, begin the process by taking this liberal congress out of power.
