I had the opportunity to watch excerpts of the electrifying Sarah Palin speech at the Tea Party Convention, despite spending the majority of the day shoveling 18 inches of snow as many parts of the country were rocked by a record snow storm. Since we have Global Warming charlatans like Al Gore, Michael Mann, Barack Obama and Phil Jones as part of a fraudulent chirade, it might be divine justice if they could help America to dig out from one of the worst storms of the century as part of their community service. The audacity of these scare mongers still wanting to push mandatory redistribution of wealth through climate legislation is hard to fathom, especially as several Scientists were caught “Cooking the books” to mislead the world community. “Global Warming” is probably the greatest flim flam scam in world history where these “hoaxers” have collaborated on the socialization of the world, coupled with enriching themselves in the process.
Sarah Palin is an absolute rock star, coupled with becoming the defacto leader of the Tea Party. Palin received passionate standing ovations at the convention with the masses chanting, “Run Sarah Run”, which nuked the “insanestream media” attempt to portray that many of the “Tea Party” amazing Americans resented Palin being the featured attraction at the first annual Tea Party. Palin spoke eloquently about free market principles to jump start the economy versus big government and involked the country’s most articulate conservative voice President Ronald Wilson Reagan who would have been 99 years old today, pertaining to her national security philosophy, that mirrored Reagan’s take on the Cold War; “We win, they lose”. Moreover, Palin admonished the Democratic Party for not getting the message in the three high profile races that they unceremoniously lost this year, when she asserted, They need to stop lecturing and start listening” to the American people. The left is scared to death of the incredible enthusiasm that Sarah Palin generates, which explains why they are working overtime to try to destroy her. Run Sarah Run, indeed!
I’m hoping that the Tea Party has lasting power as the conservatives are now taking the Republican Party back. Psuedo Republicans and mushy moderates need to be punted out of the party with primary challenges for RINO’s (Republican in name only) such as Benedict Arlen Specter who jumped ship in Pennsylvania to attempt to salvage his sorry career. Clearly, America’s peaceful revolt has played a pivotal role in stemming socialized medicine and “Cap & Tax” legislation as Democrats enjoyed huge majorities in both Houses of Congress, but couldn’t get it done.
It is imperative that the Tea Party and the Republican Party morph into one cohesive and lean, mean fighting machine to deal the liberal Democrats crushing defeats in the next few election cycles. The Democrat-Socialist machine is trying to pit the Tea Party against the Republican establishment in a comically transparent attempt to divide and conquer. Therefore, we must work toward uniting all forces with the caveat that weak kneed moderates should find a home in the Democrat Party. Case in point, a political star Marko Rubio in the making is streaking ahead of Republican establishment candidate Governor Charlie Christ for the Florida Senate seat. Christ backed Obama’s “stimuless” bill that has been a disaster and then lied about supporting it so Florida voters are rebelling against him too, according to recent polls. This means that we don’t run third party candidates in major elections as this would just split the vote handing victories to liberal Democrats. We can reform the Republican Party from within making it more conservative as the moderate approach was a crash and burn debacle highlighted by Senator McPain’s (McCain) weak Presidential bid. The ludicrous lurch to the middle for the Republicans resulted in landslide defeats so let’s not be “slow learners”. The legendary Ronald Reagan summed up the best approach at the 1984 Republican convention that would translate perfectly to this millenial issue before us, “Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third Party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second Party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors, which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on the issues troubling the people?”
Our wonderful friend of the website Peg wrote an incredible and insightful piece in the comments section of “Students in dire need of some mug shots, so I encourage “y’all” (I can’t help myself as I spent a couple of years in the Sunshine State) to check it out. I was concerned with Peg’s mention of Hillary’s “It take a village” so naturally I had to respond. This coupled with Dick Morris’s fervent assertions that the former First Lady could primary Barack Obama “if her country needs her” by virtue of the Democrats getting “Housed” by the Republicans in the 2010 mid-term elections, coupled with Obama’s tanking popularity and job approval numbers. Another scenario would be a Obama-Clinton ticket as Biden can only deliver Delaware and a slew of gaffes during a campaign.
It does take a village to raise children, but not Hillary’s version of rampant socialism as the answer, since she is just like Obama believing that government has solutions to all of our problems. In the interest of full disclosure, I didn’t take the time to read any of her books. It seem to make more sense to look at the “Secretary of Appeasement’s” actions, rather than words assembled on pages of political propaganda.
I doubt that Hillary even wrote “It takes a Village” as ghostwriters are very busy campers penning a multitudinous number of books for celebrities and politicians. I dare say that Obama didn’t write his books either, unless of course they were dictated to him by his teleprompter. I want to make sure that Americans are not stupid enough to elect Hillary Clinton thinking that she will be different than President Obama, especially since they share almost all of the same worldviews. The only discernible difference that I can make between the two of them is that Hillary has a fabulous collection of pant suits in an array of beautiful colors and throws lamps at her naughty husband.
In other news, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has admonished Israel for plans to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities citing “dangerous consequences” and the only available option to stop the madness of Ahmadinejad is if “Iranians themselves decide it’s too costly”. This is a primetime example of why liberals should never, ever be in power in the age of apocalypse because that great philosopher Forrest Gump summed it up best, “Stupid is as stupid does”. How about some reality here, Amadinejad is a certifiable maniac that believes that the holocaust never happened, plus Israel is the “Little Satan” in his warped terroristic little mind that must be obliterated! He has repeatedly threatened to annihilate Israel, and when madmen bluster it is advisable to take them seriously. Fortunately, real leaders like Isreal’s President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu realize that a nuclear equipped Iran is an untenable situation. The Shimon and Bibi tandem will not listen to an ignorant, toothless Obama Administration and hopefully will destroy Iran’s nuclear sites for the good of humanity. As most of our learned bloggers out there know, the United States of America is considered the “Great Satan” by radical Islamists, which means that a nuclear Iran puts us an even greater peril. Do you think that Ahmadinejad would think twice about equipping terrorists with nuclear weapons? Iran is considered the number one purveyor of state sponsored terror around the globe for a reason. America it is time to “Prayer up” to God above as we have a completely innept comedy troupe in charge of our national defense. Obama had boasted about a nuclear free United States of America, coupled with freezing our “Star Wars” Strategic Defense Initiative with two lunatics like Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the cusp of being a nuclear power. This was act two of the Democrat horrow show as Clinton-Gore’s disastrous eight years included them helping to facilitate and accelerate China’s ability to strike America with nuclear weapons, when they didn’t stop the treasonous Loral Space Communications from sharing vital launch technology with the Chi Coms. This advanced Communist China’s capabilities by a decade, putting innocent men, women and children’s lives in the United States of America in grave danger as they can now vaporize American cities. As Clinton-Gore, Secretary of State Madeleine “All Dim” Albright declared, “We don’t want to be the world’s only superpower”, but their idiotic decisions could cost us millions of lives. Then you have Obama’s breathlessly naive move of freezing missile defense shield technology. I’ve said it before, and I’ll sign off with, “Whose side our the Democrats on?” The liberals are either terminally naive or purposely aiding and abetting our enemies.
There was yet another tragedy in a High School in Massachusetts that was reported on Fox News by Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly regarding a teenage girl that hanged herself because of evil bullies that called her a “Slut” and other horrible names on Facebook and physically and mentally assaulted this poor girl. These vicious girls topped off their nefarious actions by making fun of this young lady after she had died. In my humble opinion, these animals need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Maybe in prison these “thugettes” can get a taste of their own medicine. It’s time that schools get control over “Mean Girls” and “Mean Boys” by partnering with various police departments around the country with stingent laws enacted by Congress to throw the book at bullies in schools. The lame excuse that school officials can’t do anything about students actions off of the premises is ridiculous. Clearly, these same rules don’t apply to employees that break laws when not on the clock as they frequently are fired or treated to harsh sanctions. If I was the parent of the young lady that committed suicide I would sue the school and the parents of the girls if it is proven that they didn’t know about these truly heinous actions of these despicable bullies.
There needs to be a zero tolerance policy at all schools in this country about physical altercations where the police are summoned for each fight, coupled with suspensions and expulsions for students that resort to violence. Moreover, we should build more military schools where kids who are repeat offenders receive the discipline that they desperately need. Convicts in training can find redemption or change, but not through coddling and failed liberal policies. Tough love is required in many scenarios; I remember a great program called “Scared Straight” where children at risk were sent to meet with hardcore criminals to give them a snapshot of what life in the “Big House” would look like if they continued to embrace poor choices.
Dynamics must be shifted in this country because there is no reason that America should continue to have the most incarcerated citizens by percentage of any free society on the planet. Today’s children in many instances feel that they are bullet proof, that rules apply to others in part because teachers and parents seem to be at odds regarding students. It used to be that parents, teachers and school officials were on the same page with corporal punishment on campus and “capital” punishment at home so children had respect for authority. With all due respect to President Bush, there are some students that deserve to be left behind if they are constant disruptions, while being terrorizing forces that drive kids to commit suicide or to live in constant fear. I know this first hand as I got on the wrong side of a junior mafia group in training who constantly targeted students for intimidation and beatings. I remember like it was yesterday when one of the kids that also got in the crosshares of these ruffians brandished a knife before being talked down by a teacher then breaking down into tears. There have been studies that show that 50% of kids were victimized by bullies or were the actual bullies, which cannot continue to be the standard operating procedure in the United States of America. If a 25 year old man beats up another person on the streeet the consequences are severe. Why should school children be allowed to be savaged by fellow students without similar punishments?
And, another thing there should be teachers and professors with firearms or armed security guards utlizing state of the art trigger lock with identification technology so the guns can’t be taken from them at schools across America. Let’s prevent future Columbine High School or Virginia Tech massacres where students and teachers are at the mercy of deranged gunmen. It’s time that the assassins become targeted for an express ticket to hell when the good guys take them down. Let’s not let these gunmen turn schools and public squares into shooting ranges with these home grown terrorists getting their fifteen minutes of fame by becoming serial killers at the expense of our loved ones.
It seems like it was yesterday that President Bill Clinton out of political necessity declared “The era of big government is over”. Clinton didn’t have any ephiphany or change of heart in his liberal core beliefs, but the 1994 Republican takeover of the House and the Senate convinced him to change course. President Clinton was pragmatic enough to realize the status quo wouldn’t enable him to maintain residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It was stellar advice from political strategist Dick Morris that he would need to moderate or move to the middle via “Triangulation” if he was to win reelection in 1996. In a brief sidebar issue, I don’t understand why Republicans don’t retain the services of Mr. Morris because he is brilliant. I know he had human failings in the past, but he is the best in the business, and he would be invaluable in our efforts to defeat Democrats. His wife has also forgiven him, plus they collaborate on many New York Times bestseller books. Back to the present, Obama has shifted gears to the “Era of big government is job 1″. According to Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times, “The era of big government has returned with a veangance in the form of the largest Federal work force in modern history.”
Federal workers in 1981 to 2008 comprised on average 1.1 to 1.2 million workers. Obama has jumped that number to an unsustainable 2.15 million Federal Workers in 2010 and 2.11 million for 2011. I’m not indicting all of the Federal Workers, although there is no reason why we need an additional one million Federal Workers that make on average a $71,000 salary versus the private sector work force only making $40,000 in comparison. There are some fabulous people in the Federal workforce, but I’m sure their hands are tied by bureaucratic regulations and counterproductive dictates created by Congress. Case in point, the Department of Energy was founded during the Carter Presidency to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. The Department of Energy scored a 65 billion dollar budget in 2010, plus they employ tens of thousands of Federal Workers. They are charged with energy policy and nuclear safety. Now I understand the need for nuclear safety, but this could be shifted to the Pentagon or some of the workers could be retained in different agencies. The Department of Energy’s mission to lessen our dependence on foreign oil has been an utter failure as our percentage of foreign oil imports has steadily increased over the last few decades. I bring this point up because we could easily slash one million Federal Workers in this country to reduce our unsustainable debt ratio. Au contraire, the Democrat Party wants us to look like Eastern Europe where the people are wards of the state, and the ruling elite can control the peasants with an iron fist.
President Obama is the consummate ideologue, that was rooting ferociously for the Despots to win in Honduras. Fortunately, for humanity and Honduras the more moderate government beat back the tyrannical forces. Why does Obama feel so comfortable around evil thugs like Hugo Chavez of Venezeula or the brutal Castro Brothers? This is the type of government that he secretly wishes that he could impose on America, sans the genocide. I’ll qualify that because if we get socialized medicine passed than tens of thousands of American citizens will die needlessly. Moreover, Obama ruled twice against the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act” during his Illinois Congressional stint where medical personnel couldn’t help babies born alive during botched abortion procedures. The babies were reportedly left to linger for hours as Doctors and Nurses were left powerless to help them. Obama may have a winning smile, but don’t buy it as he is not a compassionate person. This is why I find it hard to fathom that Americans still somewhat like Obama, despite them losing confidence in his ability to lead the country.
President Obama has resorted to smoke and mirrors to attempt to fool the American public into believing that his alledged budget freeze makes him fiscally sound. The fact of the matter is that only 1/8 of the budget would be frozen while entitlement spending can continue into the stratosphere putting America on the brink of bankruptcy. Obama loves to blame Bush for everything, but the Democrats fingerprints are all over the record deficit spending, and they will own this ludicrous budget if it is passed. If any Republicans dare to vote for this record 1.55 trillion dollar budget boondoggle for 2010 then they should be thrown out of the Party. Interestingly, the Obamacrats are even upping the ante to an outerworldly 3.8 trillion dollar budget for fiscal year 2011, that is immoral and almost surreal. Let’s compare that to President George W. Bush’s highest budget in 2008 that was about $600 milliion, but Obama disingenously tries to lump the TARP Bailout of $700 million dollars to Bush, which Obama signed onto to make his irresponsible spending spree look more palatable.
This is an incomprehensible “Alice in Wonderland” type of governance where our kids and grandchildren will be one of the first generations to be so mired in such mountainous debt to have no absolutely no chance to do better than their parents. I’m beginning to finally understand what Obama’s “Change” meant back during the campaign days; it seems that Americans would forced to take a vow of poverty so the Democrats could control us peasants with “womb to the tomb” government. There are more people on food stamps than at any time in history, coupled with an effective unemployment rate of 17% if bundling in individuals that have given up on finding jobs and those that are underemployed. I keep thinking that since the Democrat takeover of Congress and the Presidency that our country has been “Punked”, and I’m hoping and praying that Ashton Kutcher will emerge to tell us that it has all been a big joke. Unfortunately, in the real world we are looking at trillion dollar deficits through 2020. Stuart Varney of the Fox Business division said it best, “Redistribution has always been at the heart of this President.” We should have listened to “Joe the Plumber” when he predicted what Obama was all about.
We have ignoramuses like Democratic Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina declaring that we have to spend ourseves out of this recession. Clearly, history is not on his side as Japan tried this in the 1980’s, which failed miserably and was called the “Lost Decade”. And, America tried this Keynesian economic model during the Great Depression. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt never spent more than 12.5% of the Gross Domestic Product in any of his years, and analysts assert that his policies exacerbated the Depression. Obama is the turbo Roosevelt as he is forecasted to spend 25% of the GDP for the next three years if the budget passes and he is President Jimmy Carter on steroids in terms of incompetence and ineptitude.
In the midst of an economic castastrophe, at least we can take solace in the fact that the Obama White House has been bringing in more world class chefs to cook them extravagant culinary delights. And, Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is jet setting her family around the globe on the taxpayer dime, plus she gave us a $100,000 booze bill. It’s time for a muscular response on the part of American citizens to this hypocrisy on parade. The elections in 2010 will be the second “shot head round the world” when the elephants seize Pelosi’s gavel, and hopefully take back a majority in the Senate too.
We talked about stepping up and becoming active in the political process in order to wrest our country back from Marxist-Socialist forces. I did my part by submitting a Letter to the Editor in the Harrisburg Patriot news that will be published this week, although they had to size it for space considerations. I was reading the Sunday edition and didn’t want the Obama talking points to go unchallenged so I get involved. The Republicans and their Conservative supporters need to unite in the next few election cycles working together to win the hearts and minds of the voters who were snookered in 2006 and 2008. We have to outwork the liberals while presenting a positive vision, instead of relying on America’s disgust with the Democrats this past year.
Dear Letter to the Editor:
I enjoyed the Sunday Patriot-News article by David Wenner, but I felt compelled to respond to Obama supporters and apologists that were interviewed. President Obama’s first year in office was reminiscent of the sinking of the Titanic, as his popularity and his agenda of socialism has capsized on an inceberg of reality. Clearly, the historical and monumental Scott Brown victory over Martha Coakley in Massachusett’s special election for the “People’s Seat” was a game changer because it dramatically changes the dynamics of Congress, plus it was a repudiation of the “Obamacrats” leftist lurch.
I would like to respond to Shirley Yate’s assertion when she said, “With all of these things he inherited, I think he has done a great job,” with a few facts of those alleged soup kitchen years during the Bush-Cheney years; unemployment in 2006 was at a tidy 4.5%, the Stock Market soared to an all time high in the summer of 2007, coupled with the Gross Domestic Product in the United States of America nearly tripling any other country in the world. It’s true that we have been enduring a recession, since the latter stages of 2007, but that was precipitated by the Democrats cover-up of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s financial debacle, which ignited the economic meltdown.
Let’s roll the tape to the first year of the Obama Administration where over four million people have been “pinkslipped”, despite the 1.2 trillion dollar stimulus bill with the interest. Those four million plus jobs lost was higher than any of the Bush years wih an effective unemployment rate of over 17% in the United States of America when factoring in underemployed workers or people that have given up looking for work. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the unemployment rate is still in double digits currently at 10%, which is twice as high as 2006, while Obama “inherited” less than 7% unemployment.
“It’s so obvious the agenda of the opposition is to prevent him from accomplishing anything.” said Robert Ford. Mr. Ford needs a reality check as the Republicans were helpless to stop any of the Democrats initiatives in 2009 as they had a fillibuster proof Senate, and enjoyed a huge majority in the House of Representatives so they could have enacted any legislation that they decided to pass. The agenda imploded because Americans led by the “Tea Party” revolt had enough of government growing exponentially with haughty liberals ignoring the will of the people.
The “Blame Bush” strategy that the liberals are employing will only backfire on them as Americans want real leadership, devoid of whining and finger pointing. Bush didn’t quadruple deficit spending either in 2009, where our children and grandchildren will become unwilling indentured servants of the government either. I have an idea; let’s put all government proceedings in 2010 on C-SPAN!
There is a heavyweight controversy regarding a pro-life ad to be run on Super Bowl XLIV on CBS pertaining to Florida Gators and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow’s mother Pam’s decision to eschew doctors recommendations to have an abortion as she was at risk of dying during the delivery. Pam choose life because of her Christian beliefs and the result was the birth of an amazing American Tim Tebow who is a superior athlete and an even better human being. Tim Tebow is a wonderful ambassador involved in array of charitable works including missionary work. Tebow as a star quarterback is projected by National Football League analysts as a first round or second round draft pick. Focus on the Family created the ad, reporting that the 2.5 million dollar price tag will be picked up benovolent donors. Focus on the Family is a evangelical organization that is as popular with the secular left as the Cross is to Dracula.
The radical women’s groups are feigning shock and outrage that CBS would have the temerity to accept the ad on Super Bowl Sunday, which is yet another example of the liberals believing in free speech as long as you agree with them. A medley of clueless spokespersons included Jehmu Greene, president of the New York-based Women’s Media Center said, An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports events of the year-an event designed to bring Americans together” is wrong on so many levels. First of all, football is a vicious contact sport where the gladiators attempt to annihilate one another. Meanwhile, Ms. Greene has apparently never been at an actual game as the fans from opposing teams routinely fight one another for sins as small as rooting for their own team. I’ll never forget attending an NFL game a few years back between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins where it reminded me of the war movie “300″ where the Spartans and Persians were engaged in a bloody and epic battle. I’ve always said that many of the Philadelphia Eagles fans are less civilized than the Taliban, which was illustrated by a man punching a women in a face that dared to root for the Redskins, knocking her down the concrete steps, resulting in a black eye for her, and an ejection for the cowardly ruffian. We were also treated to a beer shower as the out of control fans didn’t appreciate the thug being hauled off to the then Veterans Stadium court. These ignorant liberal women’s groups need to get their talking points straight as in past years they talked about the Super Bowl being a catalyst for increased domestic abuse because husbands were driven to violence because of the outcomes of the game.
How about this gem from the National Organization for Women, Feminist Majority Foundation and Women’s Media Center that collaborated on this non-sensical screed whining, “By offering one of the most coveted advertising spots of the year to an anti-equality, anti-choice, homophobic organization, CBS is aligning itself with a political stance that will damage its reputation, alienate viewers, and discourage consumers from supporting its shows and advertisers.” Nothing could be further from the truth, if CBS doesn’t buckle to these anti-free speech zealots, then the Executives will strengthen their following and consumers could go out of their way to buy a plethora of goods and services from the advertisers. Case in point, the National Organization of Women urged boycotts against Rush Limbaugh and Florida Orange Juice Growers because of his Conservative views. Rush affectionately calls NOW the NAG’s for the
“National Association of Gals”. What transpired was NOW prostesting against Rush and Florida Orange Juice Growers in front of several Supermarkets, but “Dittoheads” depleted the stock of Florida Orange Juice in some cases buying out the stores within hours. Recent Gallop surveys reported that 40% of Americans consider themselves Conservative, versus only 19% that admit to being liberal so these groups arguments are a non-starter.
Let’s tackle these aformentioned women’s groups that are in actuality only representing a minority of women as they despise Conservative women, especially Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. Their hypocrisy of preaching tolerance is ludicrous as they are part of a liberal cabal that always tries to destroy their enemies. They also didn’t target President Clinton’s mistreatment of women because he was “Pro-Choice”, in fact, some of these liberal women talked about having sex with the President as long as he supported abortion on demand.
The fact of the matter is that fringe feminists are afraid that they are losing the argument as more people in the United States of America are now Pro-Life versus Pro-Choice. Many Americans realize that when one out of every three and a half babies are vacuumed down a sink as they have beating hearts and brain activity that something is seriously wrong. The overwhelming number of abortions in this country are not because of rape or incest. And, partial birth abortion is a gruesome procedure where living, breathing babies are partially delivered by “Doctors” (Do no harm?), only to have their brains extracted with surgical instruments without the benefit of anesthesia. The astounding fact is that most of these barbaric partial birth abortions are not because of rape or incest either, rather they are out of convenience! By the way, the Clintons, the Obama’s and the vast majority of Democrats support this infanticide.
I would also like to address critics that talk about what a waste of money it is to run a $2.5 million dollar ad that could be used for more important causes. I don’t know what could be a more important issue than having less abortions in America, plus billions and trillions of dollars are routinely wasted by liberal politicians.
The classy Tim Tebow said, “I know some people won’t agree with it, but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe.” I’m in your corner Tim, and so are millions of Americans that are cheering for “Life”!
I had to chuckle about Barack Hussein Obama lecturing the Republicans about bi-partisanship at their retreat in Baltimore, Maryland after the President condoned his Democratic collagues in locking out the elephants for all meaningful legislation for the entire year. The media’s self created “Messiah” has lost much of his luster with the formerly charming and charismatic candidate literally putting some of his colleagues to sleep during the State of the Union address. I logged onto www.huffingtonpost.com as they provided a full text (transcript) of the SOTO, and found they provided some stunning pictures including Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano apparently napping during the President’s address, coupled with other bored attendees like Harry Reid who was yawning. Janet Napolitano counting sheep at the address is a microcosm of the Obama’s Administration’s sleeping on the job regarding national security and border enforcement. Meanwhile, Speaker of the House was starring as a trained seal that leapt out of her seat at almost everything that Obama uttered. I wonder if Vice-President Biden was tossing her some fish as rewards to continue the “show” of enthusiasm. In a breaking story, Nancy Pelosi aboard the largest plane ever for a Speaker of the House was setting up the taxpayers with extravagant cuisine and adult beverages for their trips to Copenhagen to participate in the great global warming hoax summit.
Let’s return to our regularly scheduled analysis of the SOTO (State of the Onion) by our “Bolshevik” President (I Know that it is a State of the Union address, but I explained why I call it this is the first installment). I’m sorry–I couldn’t resist this little zinger, since Obama said that he is not an “Ideologue” or a “Bolshevik” at his meeting with Republican Congressional members. It’s too bad that politicians that have been known to be less than honest, that they can’ be hooked up to lie detector machines.
Obama: So I know the anxieties that are out there right now. They’re not new. These struggles are the reason I ran for President. These struggles are what I’ve witnessed in places like Elkhart, Indiana; Galesburg, Illinois. I hear about them in the letters that I read each night. The toughest to read are those written by children–asking why they have to move from their homes, asking when their mom or dad will be able to go back to work.
Wayde: If you truly care Mr. President, then reverse course on attacking banks, financial institutions and insurance agencies. If you want to help Mr. President, then why is the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) hovering over businesses with extra regulations and why do 71% of investors feel that you are hostile toward business? It seems as if the economic woes are purposeful by the Democratic party as the more Americans are dependent upon government, then the more government can grow, which in theory will keep the donkey’s in power in perpetuity. The problem with this is Americans don’t believe in Socialism. Many are quite familiar with Socialist countries that routinely endure 10 to 20% unemployment rates. Moreover, many of these citizens in those countries are part of a rental society versus an ownership society as they are forced to pay 60 to 80% in taxes, which leaves precious little money left over to buy things.
Obama: For these Americans and so many others, change has not come fast enough. Some are frustrated; some are angry. They don’t understand why it seems like bad behavior on Wall Street is rewarded, but hard work on Main Street isn’t; or why Washington has been unable or unwilling to solve any of of our problems. They’re tired of the partisanship and the shouting and the pettiness. They know we can’t afford it. Not Now.
Wayde: Americans are actually angry because they were sold a bill of goods; change was supposed to be a positive phenomena, instead it has meant a lower standard of living, exploding deficits with an escalating unemployment rate. The partisanship and pettiness has been the domain of your Democratic Party Sir, with Republicans being excluded from all of the proceedings. I’m not surprised that President Obama took his obligatory shot at Wall Street. The Democrats are certainly using poll tested class warfare, but by constantly beating down the private sector, recovery, restoration and rebuilding cannot begin in earnest. It’s like the liberal nimrod Governor Patterson in New York that wanted to punish the rich with even higher taxes so the achievers are just checking out of the state. And, the same thing will happen nationally if the Obamacrats continue their “trickle up poverty” where the rich and even the middle class are constantly under assault.
Obama: As a result, the markets are now stabilized, and we’ve recovered most of the money we spent on the banks. Most but not all. To recover the rest, I’ve proposed a fee on the biggest banks. Now, I know Wall Street isn’t keen on the idea, but if these firms can afford to hand out big bonuses again, they can afford a modest fee to pay back the taxpayers who rescued them in their time of need.
Wayde: Mr. President how come you are not targeting General Motors and Chrysler for extra fees, especially since they haven’t paid back the lion share of all of the bailouts? Both of these corporations declared bankruptcy, but this bailout was to prop up unsustainable union contracts that forced the automakers into financial ruination. We know the reason is because unions and government in your world vision are benevolent, and the private sector is evil. Mr. President, how come you didn’t move on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s executives that made off with millions of dollars in bonuses for running the country into the ground? Meanwhile, banks and financial institutions that have paid back their loans in full with interest are the villains that need to be shaken down a little more (The Gambino crime family would have been oh so proud). And, misinformed and naive citizens that applaud more taxes on these entities should be aware that banks, and businesses for that matter don’t pay taxes, instead they will just pass on these costs to the consumer.
Now I’m sorry for going a little long on this rant because your probably acting like Janet Napolitano by now and zoning out. We will pick up some more of the SOTO in future posts.
When President Obama attacked the Supreme Court of the United States of America during his State of the Union speech Wednesday night as these brave Justices dared to uphold the First Admendment; in this case the rights of businesses and groups to donate money to political campaigns was ensured where key provisions of McCain-Feingold was rolled back. While the President arrogantly ignored the Seperation of Powers act, Samuel Alito mouthed “Not true” about Obama’s ignorance regarding free speech rights. Obama set world records for campaign donations last election so his hypocrisy is breathtaking. And, I’m going to borrow Justice Samuel Alito’s line to refute Obama’s endless spin cycles, which was replete with his roiling anger at Americans for being “too stupid” to understand the Obamacrats utopian vision of benevolence where all solutions are correlated to government growing exponentially is really in our best interest. On the contrary, Mr. President, the “peasants” are in a revolt because we have figured out that you were a Karl Marx candidate, cleverly selling moderation in a slick package of “hope and change that we can all believe in”. Obama is in cahoots with Marxist stoodges in the Democratic Party like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid that keeps threatening to seize healthcare, despite 60 to 70% of Americans saying not just no, but “Hell NO” to their power grab. Well, the donkeys are slow learners if they haven’t realized that the stunning victories in the Virginia and New Jersey Gubernatorial races for the Republicans, and Scott Brown winning over Martha Coakley in Massachusetts in the political upset of the century for the Ted Kennedy seat are the second great “Tea Party”, then they will have to face the ultimate “teachable moment” in the 2010 mid-term elections and in 2012.
The President and the Democratic Party is still defiant as they are getting ready to double down on “Tax & Gouge” (Cap & Trade) legislation, socialized healthcare and their array of leftist job destroying, freedom crushing policies. I hope that they play this hand as it potentially could cost them both Houses of Congress, coupled with ensuring the Obama is a one term President. Let’s go to the transcript to breakdown his recycled promises with my snippy, yet reasoned analysis. By the way, the funniest line that I heard among all of the analysts was on the Rush Limbaugh show when he said, “Nancy Pelosi looked like a trained seal at Sea World” pertaining to her obedience in giving the President standing ovations seemingly every few moments.
Obama: One year ago, I took office amid two wars, an economy rocked by a severe recession, a financial system on the verge of collapse, and a government deeply in debt. Experts from across the political spectrum warned that if we did not act, we might face a second depression, so we acted, immediately and aggresively. And one year later, the worst of the storm has passed.
Wayde: This is a nice try commitee for a better President; one year ago the economy was reeling, but you and your Democratic comrades exacerbated the situation by passing an ill-fated $787 billion dollar stimulus bill where you promised that the unemployment rate would not exceed 8% if we passed your boondoggle. Now, the Commerce Department reports a 10% plus unemployment rate, although the effective unemployment rate is over 17% with underemployment and folks that have just given up looking for work. And, I was against all of the bailouts because many of these lending institutions and banks had made highly speculative loans to third world countries. Unfortunately, the sub-prime mortgage scheme was a Democratic fiasco so some leniency might be in order. Moreover, the Chrysler and General Motors bailouts were American taxpayers ponying up money for untenable union contracts. By the way, both of these automakers ended up declaring bankruptcy anyway so that was money that was flushed down the drain.
The worst of the storm has not passed; Obama is still attacking Capitalism playing the class warfare game by targeting banks, financial institutions and insurance companies for additional punitive taxes or outright destruction. I heard a pundit say that a Government option would ensure that insurance companies would be bankrupt as government wouldn’t need to make a profit, plus they could just print more money to guarantee that the insurance companies couldn’t compete. Obama was on record as saying that he wanted a “Single Payer” plan, which means that he wants the field cleared. Imagine how many more jobs would be lost if the insurance industry is destroyed. This is what happened in France, Canada and Great Britain where the private insurance companies couldn’t compete with a government that made all of the rules, ensuring that profits would be impossible to attain.
Obama: But the devastation remains. One in ten Americans still cannot find work. Many businesses have shuttered. Home values have declined. Small towns and rural communities have been hit especially hard. And for those who’d already known poverty, life has become that much harder.
Wayde: The devastation will only remain the same, if not get worse because all of the liberal policies are an anathema to a robust recovery. Capitalism is under assault with the class warfare card frequently played. I had already outlined all of the industries that are being pressured and demonized by this Administration that won’t inspire any confidence to expand operations for businesses across the fruited plain. Tax increases are inevitable as the Democrats have voted against extending the Bush-Cheney tax cuts, which will end in 2011. Why would any business expand operations with “tax & gouge” legislation pending that is based on the phony global warming hoax that was discovered at East Anglia University in Great Britain, plus socialized medicine still lurking where taxes will dramatically increase? And, why would any person start a business right now, except out of desperation since there aren’t any jobs out there with a hostile Administration that has targeted industries to score cheap political points. No Sale Mr. President! Americans are not buying recycled campaign promises as they have become disillusioned with the true state of the union. Republicans have real solutions that can hopefully be implemented in 2010!
Here is another one of my tirades after my email friend Cindy took exception to my salient point that government agencies and departments virtually have a 100% record of failure through the 1930’s to the present day age of Obama. Cindy asked if I was on the moon or New York City, and I still haven’t found out what she has against the Big Apple.
By the way, stay tuned soon for our cogent analysis of Obama’s “State of the Onion” speech that will be preempting the Wednesday primetime line-up. I can hardly wait to dissect the “Onion” peeling back the spin, assumed dishonesty, and pie in the sky promises that President Barrack Hussein Obama will be delivering featuring poll driven, focus tested terms to try to trick the American people.
“This is Wayde, reporting live from the Moon. Keep drinking the koolaid Cindy! I’ve got my feet planted squarely on the ground; Social Security is bankrupt, Medicare is bankrupt too. Welfare is a disaster as only about 30 cents out of every dollar goes to the intended recipients once again illustrating that bureaucracy is inefficient. Would you call a business that is bankrupt a success? The corrupt leaders are in the government as you made my point for me when they stole billions of dollars in Social Security funds that were allegedly in a “lock box”. Did Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and Harry Reid crack the safe?
We love the country, that is why we are fighting to reform the government. These paragons of virtue in Washington have amassed over 13 trillion dollars in debt, which I would call an abject failure and an abomination? To quote from the box office blockbuster movie “300″, “This is madness!” AMTRAK declared bankruptcy several times, while never showing a profit and the Post Office needs a bailout. Moreover, the Department of Energy has thousands of government workers with billions of dollars in budgets started during the Jimmy Carter years to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. How’s that working out? As an aside, I’m supremely confident that the country would have been much better off if President Carter’s brother Billy would have been in office, rather than him. Billions of dollars have been lost or stolen from the Federal Government through the decades, which would even make ENRON leaders blush. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were sterling examples of profitability an efficiency too, NOT. Other than that, I think that the government has been downright peachy and dreamy!
My better ideas consist of the government dramatically shrinking; massive tax cuts to unshackle Americans once again, therefore igniting the best workers in the world to create wealth and prosperity. We need more competition in all industries, plus we can privatize sectors of government, coupled with deleting wasteful government spending. We don’t need class warfare, rather we need all Americans working together to attain the dream of freedom and independence. Clearly, when the government becomes larger, than we become diminished and beholden to self-interested bureaucrats that are obsessed with only holding onto their power as long as humanly possible. We need to drill for our own oil now, harness the plentiful shale deposits in the Mid-West and the West, open up the clean coal power plants stat, “greenlight” more nuclear power plants with the best technological safeguards in place, and approve more refineries. Do you think that will create a few jobs? And, where are all of those green jobs that were promised?
We need to set-up foreign countries with tariffs on their products that mirror their self protectionist policies that they slap on the United States of America. Let’s remove barriers to allowing quality American products to be enjoyed by our international partners, plus figure out ways to start making things in this country again. We can’t compete with tyrannical countries like China for some manufacturing, but by developing new state-of-the-art factories we can get the blue collar workers back off of the unemployment lines. It’s called Capitalism; it has enabled us to enjoy the highest standard of living in the world for decades. Capitalism has worked every time that it is tried, the economic meltdown was precipitated by government involvement, and I’ll grant you some corrupt CEO’s. But, I’m right with many on thi list that sleazy CEO’s and Presidents of Corporations can be fast tracked to general population prisons to act as a deterrent against destroying individual’s retirements and futures.
Keep in mind the Who’s anthem song from the 1970’s “Wont get fooled again” when watching Obama tonight on the State of the Union Address, although I’m not tipping my hat to any new constitution or bowing at a new revolution, unless it is a “Tea Party”, Republican solution revolution.
“I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution.
Take a bow for the new revolution.
Smile and grin at the change all around me.
Pick up my guitar and play.
Just like yesterday,
And, I’ll get on my knees and pray.
We don’t get fooled again.
Don’t get fooled again.”
