Corporate Welfare Lubricates America (7-26-10)

Monday, 26 July 2010 00:00

Hi - this is Dr. Carl with today's candid conservative minute...

By now it's apparent that most of our politicians are special interest groupies. Funding the party is America's mumbling majority - liberals, moderates, and conservatives who are growing weary of bending over. Coincidently, the folks making the lubricants are one of our biggest beneficiaries. Oil companies receive over 35 billion a year in tax subsidies. Until recently, BP, a British company, was getting $225,000 in tax deductions a day for renting the Deep Water Horizon rig. It's no surprise then that Obama has been the biggest recipient of BP PAC cash and Democrats are as guilty as Republicans in supporting oil subsidies while oil companies support them. To their credits, some of our donkeys are starting to bray while Republicans continue to follow the herd to the trough. Subsidies have very little impact on domestic oil production - serving as little more than another socialistic welfare opportunity for the rich and powerful. Let your congressman know you are tired of bending over for all special interests - especially the guys in the lubrication business...

Talking Head Theater (9-3-10)

Hi - this is Dr. Carl with today's candid conservative minute...

Though the conservative movement is blessed with some brilliant voices, it might be time for a drug screen on the studio water coolers. Some of the sharpest minds in the business are increasingly demonstrating behaviors typical to histrionic psychiatric patients. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coutler can blow away the left with their wit and wisdom. More and more they seem to be trying to blow up their polls. Who the heck cares whose number 1? What conservatives care about is cognitively correct perspectives on social, governmental, religious, and other matters that bring us closer to truth. Slapstick comedy, head banger music, and juvenile presentations distract from and damage the essence of the discussion. Leave the polls, slapstick, and hysterics to the guys who are best at it - the leftheaded talking heads. Our important conservative voices need to get back on track with their compelling dedication to reality, reason, responsibility, and right. As has been proven, the polls will then take care of themselves...
