Canada and the Cabin:
I have been very quiet in the past few months. I watched what the major media did and how
the mainstream media and the mainstream Reps decided who would be the Rep
nominee. I was hopeful that the
conservatives would actually have a reasonable shot at a true conservative
representing the Reps party in November.
It does not look as if the Carl Roves of the party will allow this to
happen anytime soon. When Fox News went
in the tank I knew it was all over.
Since I cannot stand Romney and I cannot stand Obama I am moving to the
Cabin in Ontario until late Sept.
Therefore, since the cabin is water access only and you get up with the
sun and go to bed with the moon I will not have to endure the battle between a
Moderate liberal and a Liberals Liberal.
I will not have to hear it (the lies, attacks, and more lies) that we
call a campaign, until sometime this fall.
Then I will come home and vote for Romney. Not with out trepidation,
angst and disappointment with America’s choice to continue to move toward
bigger government, less individual liberty, higher taxes, congressman that do
nothing, senators who can not even put up a budget, an activist supreme court,
class warfare, a full out war on Capitalism, the American dream, and a full out
attempt to redistribute the wealth of the country by the government not by
individuals. Lobbying, no term limits,
and political power will remain in the hands of a few and the mainstream media,
who have there own agendas and a continued erosion of the power of We The
People as envisioned by Jefferson and others.
Palin, Gingrich, Perry, and others should be proud to call
themselves conservatives and to take credit for pushing the conservative ideas
as far as they could. I still wish
Palin would have given it a shot but she knows what is best for her and her
family. Maybe later. In my dreams and only in my dreams I see the
Rep convention coming apart at the seems and drafting Palin. As I said, in my dreams.
At least I know in Canada what is available for healthcare,
(not much if you are sick), taxes, 7% Federal tax on all purchases and an 8%
provincial tax on all purchases total 15% tax on all good and services, yes services. Property taxes that are as high in the wilderness as in most US
towns. No services for taxes (fire,
police etc) just taxes. Super high food
costs, Cigarettes at $12 per pack, beer at $65 per case, fishing license at $80
and on and on. The nearest Dr. to me is
100 miles. I am only 80 miles north of
the US border. However I do know what
to expect. Socialized Medicine,
Socialized Trains, Socialized Banking (there are only 5 banks in Canada),
Native policies that are 50 to 100 years behind ours and that is not saying
anything. A rule and a law for
everything. There is a saying in
Canada, “everything is illegal in Canada;
the point is to know which law they are currently enforcing” Gun control, no army or navy to speak of, and no constitution at this
time. Two provinces are seriously
interested in leaving Canada to the point of actually voting and coming close
to getting out. The one thing they have
is good fishing and beautiful views and the people are “Canada nice”.
Company at the cabin this summer will consist off family and
friends and some Canadians that can tolerate my conservative notions about
government. I even have a number of
very liberal people that take the risk of a vacation with us at the cabin. This year we will have people from Texas,
the east coast, Arizona, The upper Midwest, the near south and the west. From liberal to right wing fanatic. Having all these people around will ease the
pain of this election year. I look
forward to getting to the cabin and getting this election over so we can start
the presidential cycle early in 2013.
At least Obama is done. Maybe
Hilary this time around.
