America has many disagreements, some of which are large, some of which are petty.  They all lead us down the same road, of argumentative, and in some cases even wars amounst ourselves.

Within the few things that all, or at least the vast majority of our beloved country can agree on is that we all want within ourselves the opportunity to  be successful.

Within that desire to achieve success should, and normally does come a desire not to be penalized for one's success.  This is what brings me to the real motion I believe all Americans with a fully functional brain will agree with ELIMINATING THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX.

Now it would be nearly impossible, and in some c`ases to drastic to eliminate the cap gains tax entirely so I have a plan which Americans of all walks of life can agree with.

We eliminate the capital gains tax for all those individuals who earn less than $200,000 Gross Annual Income.  These range from everyday average Americans, to the poor, to the middle class, to the upper class, who I like to refer to as "The Job Makers".  Essentially this helps America.

If you are an immigrant to this country like we all are at one point or another, and you work, and work, and strive to achieve that dream of buying that house, or driving that fancy car, or just having a wife who loves you, and a family you can count on, and after all that you manage somehow someway with your $80,000 annual salary (some ignorant politicians now refer to this level of income as RICH.)  If you manage with all you have on your plate to shack away 15K to buy a stock, or a mutual fund, and your eyes light up with glee, and excitement because you actually got LUCVKY and made 30% ($4,500) on your RISK INVESTMENT, the last thing you want, need or deserve is to turn around and give half of that profit right back to the government.

It's ridiculous, it destimulates the economy, and in some cases i believe it to be almost cruel. 

That is why we as Americans, and as Conservatives need to push for fairness, we need to push for the American dream, and the rights to life, and success that we deserve.  That is something we can all agree with, and if your one of the great Americans who do believe you can go here, and sign my petition to eliminate the Cap Gains Tax on all Americans who earn less than $200,000 a year.

Thank you My Fellow Conservatives.

As we reach the end of the Bush Presidency, I'd like to take a moment to break from the daily intrigue, and analysis of who our next President will be, and look at the man we have called commander, and chief for the last 8 years.

President Bush has been belittled, and degraded throughout much of his term, some of this by the liberal media, and even catching some flack from fellow conservatives for "over-spending", and what some see as larger government activity.

As a Bush supporter I find it intriguing that so many can dislike the leader of the free world, and themselves not even know why?  It is my firm belief that while President Bush has had many accomplishments in his time in office, (most notably keeping our country safe for the last 8 years following 9/11).  I believe the real story of Bush's greatness lies, in what he attempted to accomplish.  It could not be easy to be a conservative leader living in America today, the "PC" crowd forces any opinionated statement, be it true or false to be relentlessly cruelly scrutinized.  Whatever the issue may be you can always find at least 1 person who can give a credible argument for it, or against it.  This is why in todays America we not only have to fight wars to win, we have to fight a war, and apologize for it as we go, making sure that we don't "offend anyone" in the process.

Do you think the media was demanding a time line during world war 1?  Can we assume that there was a daily protest in Washington with ignorant people dressed as dead Germans during world war 2?  Of course not that would have been looked at is insanity, and how it's not today I have no clue.  If for nothing else pronouncing a definitive date for the end of the Iraq war is a Incomprehensible tactical mistake.  It would be like the New York Giants telling the Patriots what play they're going to run in the third quarter of the super bowl.  It doesn't make sense in any walk of life to let the enemy know your strategic thoughts, and regardless of what some uneducated people may think TERRORISTS ARE THE ENEMY.  President Bush realizes this, and has attempted to rid our country from terrorism, and people who only live to harm our country's way of life, for this if nothing else he is a great American.

However, let's address the idea that some people believe Iraq questionably was a mistake?  It has become a common misconception, or in some cases outright lie that President Bush was on an island screaming for war, and against the countrys will marched us into battle kicking and screaming.  Those of us who have an attention span longer than 3 minutes know this is not the reality.  The same ignorant liberals who are screaming fowl today, wer voting to go Iraq at the time of war.  The majority of the country, was understanding if not exuberant about the thought of ridding the free world of a dictatorship and preserving the American way of life.  This is a profound example, of how the media can distort things.  If you wer to ask 100 average American's if Bush was the sole component for war in Iraq probably 70 or more would tell you yes.  Where do these views come from?  How could people be so misinformed when the true unmistakable reality is so drastically different?  All anyone has to do is research congressional voting records, and it is clear this was not a one man operation.  But most American's sadly don't research, they watch they're favorite news programs and live in an ignorance is bliss mentality.  The media knows this, and they rely on it.  President Bush should be remembered as a man who has principles, a man who was fighting against a never ending grain of "PC" hit pieces designs to form a false perception of who he is, and yet after all that he has still had many successes along the way.

Would it surprise you to know President Bush, and his wife Laura have been the architects of a foreign aid bill which has given more than 40 Billion dollars in aid to starving community's in Africa>? Sounds like a real heartless soul doesn't he (Said with obvious sarcasm).  You will never hear headlines about that.  Just as you will never hear the truth that privatizing social security is the only true, and constitutional way to SAVE social security, which is a liberal mess from the start but I won't ramble about that.  You won't turn on your tv, and see commentators discussing the radical successes we have had recently in Iraq, the fact that violence has dropped nearly 90 percent.  It's a sad world when you reach 4,000 soldiers dead in Iraq, and you know for a fact that there are countrymen smiling because they want the sacrifices to be used for they're political agenda.  That is un American, and that is what President Bush has fought against, the terrorists abroad, and the terrorists right here at home.

Having fought through this, and still managed to potentially protect my American way of life, I salute President Bush, and I will remember him as a man, and as a President who did so much, and could have done so much more if he had been given the opportunity that he, and every American leader deserves.  (As long as they're conservative).

Political poetry with a sense, of pride,
It's something you feel in your heart proudly deep inside,
A love for your country, and a sense of the being the best,
Fighting for your values, and shunning all the rest,
Your values to be met, and your people to be here,
The country needs you the message is, here, it's now, and it's ever so clear,
Be on guard for your party, be on guard for your love,
fight for your country, when push comes to shove,
be with your fellow Americans, and share that sense of pride,
I'm a Republican, I'm an American, say it with a happy glow in your eyes=)
