Come Fly With Me! What happens when you put Democrats in office? pt.3 The TSA’s new rules (Attack of the Republican Blogs)

Today on my Republican blog: Come fly with me: Yet another example of the lunacy that occurs when you elect democrats into office.

To those of you who’ve booked a flight today, you may have noticed that you were asked two questions that were totally unrelated to your travel plans: (1) your birth date and (2) your gender. What this information has to do with purchasing a plane ticket is completely beyond me.

Starting today, many air travelers will be asked for their birth date and gender when making airline reservations.

In the latest bizarre manifestation of the so-called “Secure Flight” program, which switches the responsibility of checking passenger’s identities from a particular airline to the government (socialism), the TSA has said that it has made this decision to create more “public visibility”.

Previously, airlines checked passenger identities against a list of known or suspected terrorists. But to anyone who remembers, the 9/11 commission decided that the government would be better suited to handle this responsibility since they’re the ones who compile the “terror watch lists”.

According to the TSA, government control increases security and reduces the number of people who’re mistaken for terrorists. That part I agree with. But the thought of being required to provide my birth date and gender to a ticket agent over the phone or to an airline’s website just begs the question: what information do they have to check it against?

Since most reservations are made over the phone or online, theoretically they already have my name and my credit card information. So what exactly does my age or my gender have to do with booking a flight? It’s not like its going be printed on my boarding pass. Are we really in the age of big brother?

Hypothetically, if I were to tell the agent that I’m 29 when I’m really 30; does he or she have any way to find out if I’m being honest? If someone named Pat, who’s really a woman, were to say she that she’s a man; would there be any way for the TSA to find out? This is just yet another example of the socialization of the United States, yet another example of the increased bureaucracy we’ve seen from the Obama administration and so on and so on and so on.

To those of you who voted for change: congratulations. The change we received is higher taxes, an attempt at socialized healthcare and now this TSA nonsense. Where does it end? Allow me to tell you: when the new Republican Party takes this country back in 2010 and 2012. I’m all in favor of screening passengers against a list of suspected terrorists; I’d love not to be on a plane with one, but it’s just starting to seem to me that since we’ve had a this administration, our country is starting to look more and more like…well…you know what I was going to say.

Can we please stop this socialism, stop the development of this big brother state, stop the transfer of money from the rich to the not so rich (capital gains taxes anyone?), stop electing people who’ll censor anyone who’s critical of them (how’s your blog doing?), and remember that at the end of the day…we’re all Americans.

Please people- remember that this is 2009. We have very wonderful things (I’m about to get sarcastic) such as the internet, tv, talk radio, newspapers, ect, ect, ect. You have no excuse for not being informed about the agenda of the people that you elect to office. Wake up! You can’t complain if you don’t vote. And you definitely can’t complain if you vote for a democrat.

But in closing, special thanks to all of our Armed Forces, the RNC, the Missouri Republican Party, the Illinois Republican Party, the College Republican National Committee, the National Black Republican Association, the Wall Street Journal, KSDK Channel 5, KTVI Fox 2 News, my personal assistant /gf #2 Jeanette, Missy (is this thing on?), Joy (no really- is this thing on?), Kevin (move to the right), all of my Republican Blogs and Bloggers (They’re really giving 2012 to us on a silver platter), my Libertarian blogs and bloggers (booked a flight today?), my Democrat blogs and bloggers (we’ll be at your town halls!), and to all Political blogs and bloggers: Let your voice be heard. GOP in 2012! If you’re not on the right, you’re wrong. Ready by 2011 to win in 2012! And to all my Illinois residents who enjoy having a spirit every once and a while: how do you like the tax on beer, wine and liquor going up 90% on September 1st? This is what happens when you put democrats in office. Follow STL_Politics on twitter!

Happy Mother’s Day! A Republican State of Mind (Attack of the Republican Blogs)

Today on my Republican Blog: Happy Mother’s Day! To all of the mothers out there, I’d just like to take a moment to say happy mother’s day. To be honest, most of us don’t truly appreciate the sacrifices our mothers have made in their lives to make us the individuals that we are today. We’ve all gone through the different stages of needing our mothers (as a baby) to thinking we know everything (as a teenager); to eventually needing your mothers help and advise at times (as an adult). So to all mothers reading this: enjoy your day! And to my mother: I know I haven’t been the best son at all times, but I love you for always supporting me and instilling in me the value of taking care of family first. And that people, is a Republican state of mind. In closing, I’d like to give a special thanks to the RNC, the Missouri Republican Party, the Illinois Republican Party, the College Republican National Committee, the National Black Republican Association, the Wall Street Journal, KSDK Channel 5, and KTVI Fox 2 News. To all of my Republican Blogs and Bloggers, my Libertarian blogs and bloggers, my Democrat blogs and bloggers (apologize to your mothers), and to all Political blogs and bloggers: Let your voice be heard. GOP in 2012! If you’re not on the right, you’re wrong. And I love you Mom!

Auto Industry Bailout? What the F***?

Today on my Republican Blog: Earlier today, while watching CSPAN2’s coverage of Pres. Bush’s news conference about the auto industry rescue package, it suddenly hit me: I’m going about my job all wrong. While I come in early, stay late and work from home on weekends with the goal of increasing revenue; I’ve been wasting all of this time being great at my job- when I could’ve made more money by being terrible at it. Why should I spend all of my day trying to gain new accounts, babysitting my existing accounts (yeah, most buyers do act like 5 yr. olds), going to meetings about nothing and flying to the most boring cities (Springfield, IL anyone?) weekly? I should just sit in my office and check my fantasy football league stats all day, take 2 hour lunches, expense everything I can and only show up when it works for me. I was off today, but after seeing that nonsense I immediately called my division manager and told him that I’m going to require a lincoln towncar with a driver to take me to and from work on monday; and every day thereafter. If the CEO’s of General Motors and Chrysler can get a 13.4 billion dollar christmas gift for doing a terrible job, while also bringing their companies to the brink of bankruptcy- I at least deserve a chauffer for making my company money in 2008. So to Bob Nardelli and Rick Wagoner: I wish I were you. To Henry Paulson: bail me out. And to all of you out there reading this: get on your Republican Blogs, your Libertarian Blogs, your Democratic Blogs (I know ya’ll read me too) and contact your local elected officials on their respective websites and blogs and let them know how you feel. Merry Xmas!
