A Win for the Children

Yesterday Patty Ritchie shut down the nanny state. Now my boy will be able to do what he wants to do at recess and at in the park. We don't have to worry about what the government says about kids playing tough on the playground because Patty the Pitbull wants the government to know we won't let our kids be coddled. After Patty had a unexpected hard tough interview on Fox the government stopped saying what my boy can and can't do to other students. Patty gave nonensense common sense parents like me a vote of reassurance yesterday.

From what I read this is Patty's 3rd triumph over government regulations in this state after the new license plates, which she outlawed or something and food safety. Now the mrs. can put what I want in the food when its our family's turn to bring food to school functions and my kid can fight how he wants to at school. Thank you Patty for shutting these fools and their rules down.

Now lets have a win for the adults. Lets get down to job creastion the way we should by deregulating and untaxing everything in New York. Lets stop making employers buy insurance for their employees or lets repeal Obamacare, we can't have people creating jobs in New York if the workers keep taking from profits, costs will go down when people have to pay for it themselves. Cut the tax rate for businesses and all earners, make all welfare mothers take drug tests, kick failing students out of public schools so that I don't have to pay school taxes for their dumb 15 year old ass to be babysat, cut teacher pay, make all state retirees pay taxes on their income and stop letting new people into the program. We have to be a state that makes stuff again or every company is going to go the way of Birdseye, to places where the bosses are leaders not the worker.

Way to stick it to the MSM!!

I just saw on Newzjunky that Senator Patty Ritchie will shove it hard down the Mainstream Media elites' throats by appearing on Fox News today at 11:30. What had been a slow work week, not many people are upgrading their Central Air systems in April, especially not given our county's unemployment rate and fuel prices, has delivered a pretty decent afternoon for myself. According to the link, she will be discussing her war on imasculating our children. This is exactly the type of no nonsense, common sense fighting we need from our representatives, give 'em hell Patty!

From what I understand the state wants to outlaw red rover on playgrounds. I find that interesting because when my boy was playing kickball in the park 5 years back, I tried convincing him and the other kids to start running at each other and tackling (just like red rover) and quit paying pussy soccer-baseball, some other parents didn't like what I was doing and the cops were called. Well guess what Nanny State, it wasn't even illegal and with representation like Patty, its never gonna be illegal. Kids should be playing rough games from an earlier age, this is why the NFL isn't filled with white guys from the North like it used to be, we've stopped teaching our kids to be tough and our culture is paying a price for it. From an early age I've taught my kid to be tough like a man, other parents, teachers and the State didn't agree but Patty sure as hell agrees with how I parent and our kids' rights to pound the snot out of each other.

This is exactly what Patty should be fighting for because if we are ver going to make stuff again, we need tough kids who won't be afraid to work in a factory without having benefits or who demand going to college despite the fact that they're dumb as shit, like most of them are. This isn't stimulus this is long-term job growth, thank you for fighting for us and for giving the MSM the 1-2 by going to Fox News instead of: The Post Standard, The Pall-Times, The Watertown Daily Times, The Valley News, The Ogdensburg Journal, Oswego County Today, Channels 3, 5, 9 and 10 down here, WRVO, WSYR or any other local MSM, the people you really represent only get their news on Fox News and blogs, you're doing the right thing. They won't try and get around the point of what you're doing like everyone else will by asking things like what are you doing to improve joblessness in your district? when are you holding meetings about that plant that's leaving your district? or incredible liberal nonsense liek "why are you cutting education funding when your region is so reliant on it and letting the top tax rate expire?" We all know the answer to all of those - that's irresponsible.

The Day Oswego County Died

I have been away for a while, some commenters led me to beleive that maybe I was holding our newly elected Senator to an unreachable standard, that my writing abilities showed how stupid common sense conservatives like myself really are (I was an honor role student in high school, I didn't go to college because my family couldn't afford it, thank you), and that my ideals are not something that any government wants to acknowledge.

Well, Patty and readers I am back and critics be damned, my voice will not be silenced! Our County was dealt the worst blos its seen in a very, very long time today. The Birdseye Plant in Fulton is closing, some of the last people in the County (besides Novelis) that mass produce a real thing you can hold in your hands for our Nation to buy will be moving to Wisconsin. Patty Ritchie we are dying here and its time the State finally did something good for the working men and women.

Its no coincidence that Wisconsin was chosen by Pinnacle Foods as the home of their new plant because as every non-union working man in the Republic is well aware, taxpayer funded unions were just outlawed there and for good reason. After the government, unions are the main barrier between the common man and liberty, they keep the longest serving, highest paying members employed and reward them first for their work, regardless of their contribution becasue they are the ones who repeatedly vote for corrupt union bosses. We witness everyday the disgustingly high standards that union employees set for themselves, the real reason health care costs in our (once)great nation is because all union employees demand that their bosses pay for their insurance, it doesn't matter how much it costs because they aren't the ones paying it, the taxpayers and consumers are.

Senator Patty Ritchie I am pleading with you and all of the other Senators, do what you can to prove that Upstate will no longer be safe for unions, give Pinnacle a reason to stay. While Wisonsin may still have private unions, Pinnacle knows that they are next to be outlawed and that's why they are moving there. No company can make a profit when all 250 of their employees demand that their asses be wiped daily by the boss, that's not how business works and that cannot be how America works. Until we do something in New York, employers will flee to places like Wisocnsin where they know that workers will appreciate the opportunities that are given to them and will work to earn themselves a better life.

Patty, do what you can to make this company stay here for another year, pay them off if you must with tax breaks and "grants" and spend the next year fighting to show these people that Upstate can make things again!

22 Days: Cautious Concern

There were 2 articles that popped up in my google alerts this morning that have me worried about the direction Senator Patty Ritchie might be taking, but it may just be that I'm still learning the ropes of government and I may not be understanding what's going on. The first artice from the Watertown paper is here: http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20101209/NEWS03/312099956 and the one from a New York magazine is here: http://www.observer.com/2010/slideshow/state-senate-slideshow

The first article scares me a bit because she says that she is going to open up three offices across her district and that has to be expensive. I'm glad that she plans on having an office in Oswego to hear our concerns,  I just think it's going to cost us alot of money. On the other hand she is only hirinf three people to work for her which is good news for us Taxpayers, I just hope she doesn't use all of the $350,000 that she was given, I know she won't, no one is worth that much money on top of the salary they are already getting. It's what these people do though, they open up loads of offices and spend all of our money on mail that says they care about me so I vote for them again, well news flash I only voted because you said you weren't the type to do this. So that's my new goal for her: don't waste my money on self promotion. Because I can tell you this, if you are spending my money trying to convince me you are looking out for my money, there's no way in hell I'd ever trust you with it again.

With the next article I have already talked about how Patty shouldn't be talking to liberal lamestream media about anything, especially when they are some magazine in New York City that I'm sure advocates for my "right" to marry my shoe. So I'm all on board for Patty not playing their game, she should only be talking to the public through fair media like the Internet. She's a tech smart person, she has a friendly facebook page that she was keeping us updated on during the campaign and she'll get back into gear with it soon and that's the ONLY media she should use. Maybe she can trust the Syracuse paper they did endorse her after all because she was going to put the state on the right track, but still all papers are written by the college types who feel they need to "change" the world - change is in quotes because like Obama they feel it means taking all of my change along with my gun and freedom to make a progressive, socialist heaven right here in America.

24 Days: Don't let the Mainstream Media make you into someone you aren't

A friend of mine sent me this link this morning and told me to pay close attention to the bottom: http://www.capitaltonight.com/2010/12/ball-asks-his-constituents-to-keep-the-faith-post-leibell/. For those of you who don't have time to read the whole thing I'll sum it up with the quote from the end, "He (Ball) was one of only two incoming senators to refuse an introductory CapTon interview. (The other was Senator-elect Patricia Ritchie, who defeated Democratic Sen. Darrel Aubertine, and is apparently a little camera shy)."

The lamestream media is already trying to frame Patty's refusal to play their game as a weakness of her character instead of a criticism of how they deal. Patty isn't going on the news to answer their questions because she's the only TEA party candidate to win in this State and the only candidate that wants to stand up for taxpayers. Any question they ask her will always be done to make it look like she's against the children or working families or against the poor. Well the real answer is she's not against children she's against teachers and their union thug bosses and she better be against the Working Families - who by the way don't work and have their families spread across this State and where ever they came from before they chose to feed off of our fat government and she's against the government forcing the poor not to work for their money - newflash folks you need to work to get paid or you'll never want to work when you can just get "free money" not working.

The media does this to every woman who really cares about the hardworking people they want to represent - look what they always say about Sarah Palin or that lady from Delaware - it's all lies to make them look like the bad guys when really the bad guys are whoever is buying all of this media and forcing them to be so liberal. They should have to tell the truth of the story not the spin the unions want them to.

29 Days: Don't Let it Happen Again!

Outside of raising taxes and spendng last year, the worst thing New York state did was close Fort Ontario to save pennies. There are very few things that state government "gives" us that are actually worth it and Fort Ontario and the other state parks are certainly worth it. They must have had to pay equal what they saved not mowing the lawn for a month in moving all the valuable stuff out of their and chaining off the entrance back in April. And how much can it possibly cost to keep that place open, there's no heat, no electric, you just need to pay a groundsman part-time to keep the facility looking alright but I'm sure it being New York they have a crew of 20 CSEA members sitting around all day playing cards and driving around in State vehicles all day on my dime just like they do at the college. Here's a better idea fire all of the union members and hire a contractor to mow the lawn! don't close the park, it's public land and the public has a right to it, do they have any idea how many men died for their country there? - of course not! And do you know why they died for their country? so that we could have the ability to live free! It's such a contradiction - take away my freedom to appreciate what America's bravest did to protect it!

If I haven't been clear enough that means my goal for Senator Patty Ritchie is: do not close parks so that you don't have to cut real spending. I expect her to protect our history and freedom, and she has the support of Taxpayers on this - all she has to do is ask us for support and she's got it. I know she's smart enough not to let this happen again, there's a lot of history where she's from and she understands what happened at places like the Fort.

30 Days: Meeting Senator Patty Ritchie

I met Patty at Harborfest in Breitbeck Park. Shortly after Darrell Aubertine and Will Barclay gave us their blessing to have a Harborfest from onstage, I met a nice woman in the crowd who asked me to sign her petition. She said that she wanted to run as the Taxpayer candidate and needed my signature in order to run. I told her no thanks, I don't really do the hole political thing and I hadn't even voted until the Hoffman race in 2009. But then she went down the list of inhumane taxes that those two apes on stage felt I needed to pay so that they wouldn't have to tell the public employees that they wouldn't be getting raises or that the criminals in the City that they would have to work to feed their McDonalds loving guts. She told me that they felt I needed to pay some 150-odd new taxes, and that's just from what they did in 2010 alone. I was mad, I was angry, I felt like I had to do something, so I told her I would sign her petition and I would tell everyone I knew that they needed to vote for her if we ever wanted our government to work in this State. The thing that impressed me the most about her was that while she was telling me all of this awful stuff that Albany did she was calm, she was like a teacher reading a picture book to a class. Let me tell you I couldn't do that, I'd be yelling, I'd be angry, I'd certainly scare away every voter around.

So that's how I know Patty and also is my first goal for her: don't make taxpayers do your job for you. That means cut spending and cut taxes. I heard Carl Paladino say over the summer that if he were the Governor, the first thing he would do is cut spending 20% and cut taxes 10%. I want to see Patty make sure that both things happen. Carl's out, but because of people like me she ran as the Taxpayer candidate and won, and I don't have a doubt in my mind that she will show up everyday to do her job.
