Man of Steele

There's a storm a'brewing. And its name is Michael Steele. I'm happy to say I was a supporter of his candidacy to lead the Republican National Committee. People will claim his color is the main reason behind his nomination...a response to the hue of our President. The fact of the matter is, he represents a progressive voice for a party that has grown too stoic. That doesn't mean he's a contrarian to all my party believes in. It means he's a staunch proponent of all that makes the party great. Namely...REDUCING government.

Lord knows in two years -- when the nation will chime in on the chaos a Democratically-controlled government has brought to our country -- the Republicans will have even more government to dismantle. I hope that the Man of Steele can help the party steer the wrecking ball.

And for the record, unlike the Democrats who failed to acknowledge Clinton's complicity in handing over Bin Laden to Bush, I will not forget that Bush was largely responsible for handing over this economic mess to Obama. It's what Obama does from here that will define him. And so far, pouring $800 BILLION at FDR-like public works projects and orgies of government agency creation is NOT the way to go.

Try walking into a McDonalds without any money and asking for a Big Mac. They'll kick you out or call the police. In Washington, they'll create a 40-person commission and spend $15 billion in studies to figure out the best way to provide low cost Big Macs...letting you eat for free in the meantime while McDonalds goes bankrupt.

If you don't have the money, don't spend it. I understand it. Why doesn't everyone else?

ATMs don't print money.

Credit cards aren't magic tools of fairies that grant every wish.

It's time to shut government down. It's time to make people accountable for their own prosperity and to take care of their own. It's time to stop taxing people for their hard work and let them keep the money that they earn instead of divvying it up among millions of people who did NOTHING to deserve it.

Let's do this thing, Michael!
