Our Coming Socialist Future! Wake Up america!

I was going to lay low for a few days and just take in the leftist garbage so I could go off on one of my tirades and actually make sense doing it. However, I ran across this brilliant essay in the American Conservative Daily by J.D. Longstreet. This gentleman, back in the 50's recognized what our future could be and unfortunately is in fact being proven correct! This is must reading for anyone who cares about our great country, it's ideals and it's future!

I'm going to repeat something I wrote back in January as to this very subject at the end of this post. This is important folks! As I have said many times, the very foundations of our country and in turn it's survival are being shaken to the roots by the people now in office! And don't think for one minute it's all on the left! Many of our so called conservative friends are right in line when it comes to grabbing power at the expense of the electorate.


Madam Speaker Unmasks the Ugly Face of Socialism
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*******************

Back in the 1950’s, while still a lad in high School, I delivered a speech at the University of South Carolina. I don’t remember a great deal of what I said in that particular speech, but I remember I called notice to the dangers of socialism and communism -- and the danger of an all powerful government they both demand.

I remember, too, that I mentioned how socialist governments, such as the one in the socialist Soviet Union used the power of the government to keep their citizens in check, in line, if you will. I mentioned how the secret police of the Soviet Union would come knocking at the doors of their citizen’s homes at the “dead hour” (3 AM), smash it in -- and drag the would be dissident off to the Lubyanka Prison – and if he/she lived through the interrogation, would, quite likely, wind up in a gulag prison somewhere in the frigid climes of Siberia, there to work for the state while valiantly trying to remain alive.

Living in the socialist Soviet Union meant toeing the socialist line. One thing, which was never tolerated by the state, was disagreement with the state. If one dared to openly disagree with the government of that socialist country, you would be investigated, immediately, and fairly soon you would find yourself in the bowels of the Lubyanka Prison -- or some other suitable site for “intensive interrogation” -- then on to digging latrines in the frozen ground of Siberia.

So – what does this have to do with America today? I assure you it has more to do with the situation we Americans find ourselves in today than I care to dwell upon. But we will dwell upon it for a few moments.

Unfortunately, America finds herself on the threshold of just such a society ruled over by socialist thugs in charge of our government in Washington, DC.

We are all aware of the debate over the attempt to locate an Islamic Mosque, just 600 feet from the ghastly hole in the ground of New York City where the World Trade Center stood, until a handful of Muslims brought it down by crashing two loaded airliners into it killing nearly 3,000 innocent Americans including men, women and children.

Recently, the President of the United States announced, pointedly, and publicly, his support for the placement of that mosque so near the still tender scar on America’s soul.

An overwhelming majority of Americans have voiced their disapproval of that particular site for an Islamic mosque. Islam was the religion of those Muslims who hi-jacked those planes and deliberately flew them into the Twin Towers committing mass murder in the name of Islam. Some of the voices raised in disapproval are those of prominent citizens. They joined the protesting voices booming from the conservative side of the blogosphere including the voice of “yours truly.”

Just last week, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, a democrat, suggested that those who disagreed with the placement of that mosque at Ground Zero should be investigated.

When I heard what the Speaker had said, my blood ran cold. This was exactly the same thing I had warned the audience about, back in the 1950’s, at the University of South Carolina. I was just a high school kid then, but I already, instinctively, knew way down deep, where I live, that socialism was a product designed and manufactured in Hell and marketed by Satan, himself. I knew then, as I know now, that socialism is nothing more than a pleasant looking façade for pure evil.

Speaker Pelosi’s suggestion that those who disagreed with President B. Hussein Obama’s position of support for the Ground Zero Mosque should be investigated is straight out of the socialist handbook. Never, ever, disagree with them! They will make every effort to destroy anyone with the temerity to disagree with their “statist” philosophy.

Speaker Pelosi’s suggestion to investigate those, like myself, who disagree with Obama, is just one link in the chain of socialist slavery with which the democrats are working, tirelessly, to shackle America. They are making it known they are coming after anyone who threatens their hold on power.

As the American Mainstream Media has voluntarily pledged their fealty to the socialist government of B. Hussein Obama, it is the conservative voice of the blogosphere that presents the most vociferous challenge to Obama, Pelosi, and Reed and the socialists in the American government. We have NOT escaped their notice and, rest assured, they are coming after us anyway they can.

The democrats have guided America into socialism and they are now very afraid Americans will turn on them and snatch the reins of power from them. They are in a state of near panic while the level of anger toward them, and what they have done to America since 2006, has risen to an explosive level. That explosion is set for detonation on November 2nd of this year – and the democrats know it.

Publicly, the democrats deny it, while privately they are sick at heart over their blow-hard, narcissistic, President who has not only embarrassed them, but may have led their mutual political party to near destruction.

Indications are that the democrats are just now coming to realize Americans are not ready for socialism on a par with the socialist states of Europe. They already knew that my generation of Americans would never willingly accept socialism without a fight. They also knew that my generation could be counted on to vote -- at every election.

As our national leaders observe the quiet rebellion of its citizens exercising their constitutional right to assemble and petition the government for redress of their grievances -- under the banner of the Tea Parties, they react outwardly in surprise and anger. That is their public reaction. Privately, they know the game is over and their over-reaching gamble to turn America from a constitutional republic to a socialist sewer has failed.

It is incumbent upon the American electorate to hammer the nails into the coffin lid of the Democratic Party’s attempt to “Fundamentally Reform” America into a “collectivist” socialist state. We can do that by going to the polls this coming November and voting as many democrats out of office as we possibly can -- and voting against new Democratic Party candidates seeking office, as well. Doing so will insure they cannot perpetuate those socialist programs they managed to activate since 2006 –and that includes ObamaCare.

In addition, we must make absolutely clear that we insist the GOP, once bestowed with the power of leadership, defunds and repeals those socialist programs with which the democrats have yoked America.

The GOP must understand that if they try and fail, or if they refuse, America will be very unforgiving and will vote them out of office, as well. The stage will then be set for a thriving third party, which will replace one of the two major parties in existence today -- just as the Republicans replaced the Whig Party in the 19th century.

As a young High School student in the 1950’s I intuitively knew this fight was coming. Now that it is here – we must not fail.

This nation is at a crossroads in it's history. Our way of life is being stolen right under our nose by a group of ultra leftist Soviet style Marxist Socialists. Dictatorship is not out of the question with these kind of people and, as I have said more times than I care to admit, "We the People" are responsible for the peril our country is now facing! I repeat below something a good friend of mine said to me in January and ask again. How many swats up the side of the head with a two by four is it going to take before the American people wake up and revolt? Their isn't too much more time left before we are delivered lock stock and barrel to Comrade Obama's leftist handlers. And I'm honestly not trying to be funny or flippant here! The actions of our elected leaders speak for themselves. We must stop this now!

A good friend of mine here in Vegas is from the old Soviet Union. He was lucky to get out years ago and loves his new country dearly. When we talk about this, he always asks the same thing. “Can’t we as a country see what we are doing to ourselves? Can’t we learn from past history? Could it be that we as a country now do not believe in our own principles?

He asks this and states as follows. “I lived the horror in Russia. I’ve seen what Marxist Socialism can do to a people. I have seen it rob the will to succeed and in fact the will to live! When I lived there, the U.S. was the beacon of hope. Now, I fear that the “I wants” of our country have lost track of that.”

He went on to say that the leadership he is witnessing now is every bit as deplorable as where he came from. He sees the beginning of same lies, the same anti-free speech rhetoric and the same despite for free will now, in this country, as he did then. Funny, isn’t it? A lecture from someone from another country who loves our country more then her native born citizens! In all reality, it’s a harsh indictment on this Anti-American administration and it’s sheer ignorance of our basic principles.

Obama World! Lying To Get Their Way!

From the beginning of time, the world has been full of charlatans or what we know better as snake oil salesmen. All of the above are known to lie out of their wazoos if that’s what it took to make a sale. So, in that context, welcome to Obama World where we can be assured truth and honesty will not be part of the discourse as he keeps trying to sell the country on his Anti- American agenda!

First up! “We are in fact serious about Immigration Reform! However, we must find an easy path to citizenship for the millions of illegals now here. We’re so serious in fact that I just signed a bill to hire 1,500 new border agents which will better help us enforce our immigration laws” After all, this is what the people want to hear, isn’t it? The President says he is serious about this issue. Why doubt him. He’s the President, not some shyster used-car salesman? Oops! Moron alert! As usual, the administration is lying to their teeth, which seems to be the norm for the majority of politicians in D.C. on either side of the aisle. In this case, his so called seriousness about the immigration issue is, as usual nothing but the same old leftist B.S.! Below, I reprint from Michelle Malkin’s site an article that to my knowledge I of course have not seen in America Pravda, oops, I mean the Main Stream press. Lie to the people and then do the direct opposite. SOP for these clowns!

Another Team Obama draft memo we’re not supposed to worry about
By Michelle Malkin • August 20, 2010 10:58 AM

"When President Obama’s minions put their policy wishes on paper, we’re told it’s nothing. Just “brainstorming.” Idle chatter. No worries.
It’s what they said about the BLM’s land grab scheming. and the DHS’s amnesty-by-administrative fiat musings. And it’s no doubt what they’ll say about the latest draft memo from ICE chief John Morton to his field agents.
Jessica Vaughn at CIS has the story:

ICE’s misleadingly-named Office of State and Local Cooperation (OSLC) has announced the next step in the Obama administration’s efforts to drastically diminish the scope of immigration law enforcement. According to a draft policy document now being circulated among a limited group of stakeholders, ICE chief John Morton intends to prohibit not only his officers, but also local officers with 287(g) immigration authority, from busting illegal aliens who are discovered as a result of traffic violations.

…According to the draft document’s cover e-mail from Ann Yom Steel, a political appointee whose mission seems to be to harass and discourage local agencies who want to help ICE and who want ICE to help them, the agency is responding to the “many concerns [of immigration law enforcement critics] related to immigration detainers, including that they could distort the state criminal process or open the window for pretextual, minor criminal charges.” In other words, ICE believes the ethnic advocacy groups who accuse local cops and sheriffs of abusing their authority by trumping up traffic charges on innocent illegal aliens in order to have them deported. Therefore, all illegal aliens who violate traffic laws will get a free pass from ICE, unless they also happen to have committed other “real” crimes. The policy draft says: “Immigration officers shall not issue a detainer unless an LEA [law enforcement agency] has exercised its independent authority to arrest the alien. Immigration officers shall not issue detainers for aliens who have been temporarily detained by the LEA (i.e. roadside or Terry stops) but not arrested,” although the LEA may hold them without a detainer if ICE is coming right away (don’t hold your breath).

Vaughn points out that you can give your two cents to DHS. The comment period on this policy proposal ends September 30, 2010."

Of course, once any politician gets elected, especially if he lied from the beginning as to his positions and with the help of a co-opted press misrepresented everything he actually stands for, it’s only natural that once in office, he in fact becomes emboldened as to his or her lying nature. So it should come as no surprise that as the President and his lackeys openly lied as to the Health Care plan and shoved it down the nation’s throat the B.S. would in fact get deeper as the public caught on to the real facts. A plan that wasn’t even read by half our elected representatives, but one that we were promised would fix everything and lowers costs. Now that the law is signed, the truth is coming out. It is not only bad law, but most likely unconstitutional. Do these bozos care. NOT! Faced with the truth being thrown back into their faces, the President is going to do what he does best. LIE! Remember one thing kids. The President and politicians in general, especially the left think you and I are stupid. They sure as hell don’t want us to think for ourselves and heaven forbid we do in fact figure it out.

As such, the next item from the “blogprof” is quite revealing. Once again, I didn’t see this in the MSM, but no surprise there. But it should come as no surprise. As is usual for any leftist wannabe dictator, the lie is one of their main weapons to cement power. Country or people be damned, this leftist piece of scum will do anything it takes to deliver this country to Soviet style Marxist status. I deeply believe that. So, take the next item for what it’s worth, These people lied from the start and will continue lying until the American people believe the lie! Oldest trick in the book.

Once again, the quote I’ve used in the past! “Who made the following quotes? How fortunate for governments that people they administer don't think. The broad masses of a population are more amendable to the appeal of rhetoric than any other force. Make the lie BIG, make it SIMPLE, and eventually they will believe it. The answer: ADOLF HITLER ! This quote is fact. The practices of this President and many other politicians mirror the quote.

So read the article below and see for yourselves. The Democratic Party and their moronic leader have their marching orders. Lie like hell. The people are too stupid to know the difference! Well guess what Comrade Obama. We are onto you. I’ll rot in hell before I believe any of your garbage. Luckily the American people are not quite as stupid as you think. I for one can never forgive the fact that you and your followers are destroying our nation. “We the People” must fight this and we will.

Democrats abandon claim that ObamaCare will reduce cost and deficit

Abandon ship! Abandon ship! That claim that ObamaCare will save on cost that was made by double-counting medicare, cutting it by $500 million, giving only 6 years of benefits for 10 years of taxes, the doctor fix, and I could go on and on - all to show a fictitious savings from the boondoggle is now being abandoned by Democrats. The people know better. You simply can't add $30 some odd million people to a program and claim it will reduce cost, especially when the perception of something as 'free' will incentivize people to abuse the system. From Ben Smith's blog via memeorandum: New Dem message: 'Improve' health care, don't talk cost

Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce costs and deficit and instead stressing a promise to "improve it."

The messaging shift was circulated this afternoon on a conference call and PowerPoint presentation organized by Families USA — one of the central groups in the push for the initial legislation. The call was led by a staffer for the Herndon Alliance, which includes leading labor groups and other health care allies. It was based on polling from three top Democratic pollsters: John Anzalone, Celinda Lake and Stan Greenberg.

The confidential presentation, available in full here and provided to POLITICO by a source on the call, suggests that Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. Instead, the presentation is designed to win over a skeptical public, and to defend the legislation — and in particular the individual mandate — from a push for repeal.
Uh - the individual mandate is patently unconstitutional. There is no need to repeal it because it will get struck down assuming our judges still follow the US Constitution.

The presentation concedes that groups typically supportive of Democratic causes — people under 40, non-college-educated women and Hispanic voters — have not been won over by the plan. ...

...The presentation also concedes that the fiscal and economic arguments that were the White House's first and most aggressive sales pitch have essentially failed.
"Many don’t believe health care reform will help the economy," says one slide.
The presentation's final page of "Don'ts" counsels against claiming "the law will reduce costs and deficit."
Here's the contents of the final slide:

Don't:
* assume public knows the health reform law passed or if they know it passed understand how it will affect them;
* list benefits outside of any personal context;
*barrage voters with a long list of the benefits;
*use complex language or insider jargon;
*use heated political rhetoric or congratulatory language;
*say the law will reduce costs and defict


You won't be surprised by the list of "partners"here: AARP, AFL-CIO, SEIU, Health Care for America Now, MoveOn and the National Council of La Raza, among "many others." Natch. More from Sweetness & Light, Weekly Standard, Erick's blog, Scared Monkeys, Wizbang, Betsy's Page, Hot Air, Weasel Zippers, The Other McCain, YID With LID, Right Wing News, GayPatriot and Reason Hit & Run "

I rest my case! Openly lying to the public as these people have done is tantamount to treason in my book! You libbies out there that don't like my message can sit on it! Fact is fact! Lies are lies! This President and his two faced lackeys are a danger to this country and our way of life!

Treason! Another Commie Appointment By our Comrade In Chief!~

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out I do not hold our President in high esteem. No, to the contrary, I feel he is nothing more than an Anti-American traitor! Again, nothing new for those who know me. As such, I and others have been taken to task for our views, the proof not withstanding. The man has surrounded himself with radicals of the worse kind, has in his own words sided with ideals that are surely against those that our country was founded on and has put forward a Socialist agenda that in less than two years has almost destroyed our great country. But that pales compared to what he has just done as to a recess appointment he just made today!

Our President is a Communist loving Socialist! His appointments and associates prove as much. He has the utter gall to tell the American public we are too stupid to know what is good for us than turns right around and once again appoints an avowed Communist into an important position, in this case as ambassador to a El Salvador. Never in my life have I been more disgusted than I am at this moment! I for one have had enough! How is it that "We the People" were so blind as to elect this traitor as our president? And he is a traitor in the truest sense of the word! Obama is single handily turning us into another Soviet Union! And the MSM is so in the pocket of the administration that they happily go along with it!

Below is from Erik Erickson's blog, but as always is common posted news.

"This is huge news coming on the heels of Barack Obama’s support for the Ground Zero Mosque.

He has appointed Maria del Carmen Aponte to be Ambassador to El Salvador.
Three United States Senators have a hold on her nomination. Why? Because she had a long term relationship with a top Cuban spy. She withdrew as a Clinton appointee back in the 90’s because of it.

Senators questioned whether or not Aponte knew about her lover’s spying on the United States and had other serious concerns related to that relationship.
How will the American public react when they learn Barack Obama has bypassed Congress to put an avowed socialist in charge of health care and the lover of a communist spy in charge of our relationship with El Salvador?

On the other hand, this will hopefully convince people that Barack Obama really isn’t a foreign born Manchurian candid"

Yes, I am disgusted! I fear for my country! I fear for my kids and grand kids, not only for the bankruptcy they're going to have to pay for, but also the fact that I am deeply afraid they will end up living under the same kind of Marxist Tyranny as the people in the old USSR did. This isn't a joke folks. This president is taking the very steps every Socialist dictator has taken. History repeats itself if we do not learn from it! Someone out there please wake up to this before it is to late!

Our Socialists In Congress! Not That We're Surpised!

In the past, I and most other conservative people have been taken to task for trying to point out the hard core Socialist leaning of this president and various members of his administration and Congress itself. I found the column below in the blogs (you can bet your sweet asses the MSM didn’t report this). The list below is just Congress kids! We’ve all now seen the truth as to the Socialist President and his administration. We’ve seen Comrade Harry veer as hard left as possible to try and keep his power. This speaks for itself. As I have said before. We are destroying ourselves from within! “We the People” elected these twits! Moron Alert! The electorate did not do their homework! They did not take one of their most sacred rights seriously, choosing to get on the entitlement bandwagon rather than be responsible for their own well being!

And now we have a country spinning to the brink of bankruptcy and chaos due largely in part to the Commie bastards listed below. BTW: I should probably not call them what I just did, but the fact that we have allowed it to come to this peeves me off beyond any sense of reason.

Bottom line. This is important folks! Our country’s future depends on every citizen realizing exactly what is happening and who is responsible! Our country is being taken away from us by the same kind of wonderful people who presented us with the Soviet Union, Red China and of course Cuba. Our leaders, beginning with Comrade Obama have the audacity to look down from their pulpits and inform the electorate to collectively blow it out their asses! It is our responsibility to stop this!

Below is the list I cited above from Terresa Monroe-Hamilton's blog site. It is on others, but as always I have not seen anything in the MSM as to this (not even sure if Fox picked up on this one). Just remember,. This is just members of Congress! Don't forget the hard core socialist leanings of our President and his advisers!

Extremely disturbing huh? Actions speak far more than what these people say. Look how our leadership has been infiltrated and read up on these guys. We need to clean house and get rid of them so mark your voting calendars…

Racism On Parade and Obama, The Empty Suit

First, I want to make a quick comment as to the asinine comments made by Dr. Laura on her radio show the other day and her use of the N—word. That happened to be the same day I commented on the vile racism being shown by our friend Harry Reid. So let’s get this straight once and for all. What Dr. Laura said was despicable! In my view the woman should lose her show. There are no excuses or apologies that can in any way condone her actions. While we’re on the subject, Jason Whitlock has a great column out this week. In it he refers to a minor league manager who nastily got in the face of a gay umpire. First, there was a suspension, than he was fired as he should have been. Open racial hatred or bias of any kind is uncalled for in this society.

Of course, we all know there was the usual outcry from the left as to the two examples cited above, as there should have been! Hell, to listen to it, one would have thought nothing less than an execution would right the grievous wrong done to the victims of these two verbal assaults! But where is the outcry from the libbie bastards as to Harry Reid’s horrible racist comment as to the Hispanics? Well? Can anyone out there answer that? I see the usual apologists coming to his side, but not one “tut tut” from the left. You no count hypocritical bastards! And you along with the racist bastard in the White House have the audacity to lecture us?

Last but not least: Today I found this great column on the WSJ site. I’m only reprinting a small bit of it, but I highly recommend one read the entire column. It is a smart concise evaluation of the President or as I would say, “the empty suit”. I really wanted to center in on the second paragraph I’ve reprinted below. It neatly depicts the entire problem with our so called President. Our friend Obama is quick to blame. He has managed to show beyond a doubt his distrust (I would say hatred) in the American way of life. He despises the voters and public opinion. He is in fact a Socialist radical of the worse kind, but most of all, he openly puts himself out there as some kind of Godlike leader who should never be even remotely doubted. He is right, all others are wrong! And that folks is why we are in the trouble we are in now. We have an Anti-American egotistic bastard in the White House. The man is not a leader. He is a follower of a failed doctrine!

And worse of all, unlike Reagan, he does not believe in the American people, our system or our country in general. His every action displays to me a deep seated hatred for our country! Reagan may not have been a mental giant as many on the left would say. He was however a man who’s love for his country was unbounded. How sad that the American people so often forget their heritage until they’re slammed in the face with the type of vileness now coming from our friends in D.C.

From the WSJ OPED
The Obsolescence of Barack Obama
The magic of 2008 can't be recreated, and good riddance to it.
By FOUAD AJAMI

It was canonical to this administration and its functionaries that they were handed a broken nation, that it was theirs to repair, that it was theirs to tax and reshape to their preferences. Yet there was, in 1980, after another landmark election, a leader who had stepped forth in a time of "malaise" at home and weakness abroad: Ronald Reagan. His program was different from Mr. Obama's. His faith in the country was boundless. What he sought was to restore the nation's faith in itself, in its political and economic vitality.
Big as Reagan's mandate was, in two elections, the man was never bigger than his country. There was never narcissism or a bloated sense of personal destiny in him. He gloried in the country, and drew sustenance from its heroic deeds and its capacity for recovery. No political class rode with him to power anxious to lay its hands on the nation's treasure, eager to supplant the forces of the market with its own economic preferences.

The Co-opted Press: Racism and Open Bias!

Today, I want to address the co-opted mainstream media or as I call it the “Pravda of the West”.

There are 3 items I’ve noticed only because I had to dig deep to find them (note: The Harry Reid item was reported here in Vegas, but I didn’t see much anywhere else). This from Tim Grahm:

“Long-time DC TV news anchor Doug McKelway has been suspended by local ABC affiliate WJLA-TV (owned by Allbritton Communications, the same people who own the paper and website Politico) after a standup report last month from a liberal cap-and-trade rally trying to capitalize on the BP oil spill.

"According to several of McKelway's colleagues," reported Paul Farhi in The Washington Post, "the newsman's reporting may have lapsed into partisan territory when he commented live on the air about the oil industry's influence in Washington, particularly its contributions to Democratic politicians and legislators" -- which must have included bigtime BP recipient Barack Obama.”

The story goes on to say that his boss took him to task in front of others and then suspended him for “insubordination while witnesses claim it was his story that truthfully reported contributions to the Dems that got him in hot water in the first place. Again, I did not see anything about this on any mainstream media site. Can’t have the dirty laundry out in the open I guess.

Then there is this one from Diane Suffern:
State Department to send Ground Zero Mosque Imam on third Middle East tour
Not one to rest on its laurels, the administration extends its incredibly tone-deaf streak by sponsoring an overseas “goodwill” trip featuring Feisal Abdul Rauf, executive director of the Cordoba Initiative and proposed Park51 NYC mosque. The ACLJ is filing a complaint with the State Department in an effort to stop taxpayer funding of the trip, Fox News reports:

The State Department confirmed Tuesday that the administration is sponsoring Feisal Abdul Rauf’s trip to Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, which is described as part of a program to send Muslims abroad to educate other countries about the role of religion in the United States. Rauf made similar trips during the Bush administration. [...]

“This shows a tremendous lack of judgment on behalf of the State Department; and for the American taxpayers to be funding this global journey is not only wrong, but deeply offensive,” Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the organization, said in a written statement. “It seems with each passing day we learn more disturbing information about this project and the people behind it. We demand that the State Department put a halt to the Imam’s participation in this publicly funded trip.” (Emphasis mine.)

At least in this case, I understand why I haven’t seen much on it. After all, a good propaganda organization is not going to publish anything to put a bad light on a corrupt administration that they are in bed with no matter how asinine it is! The vast majority of people in this country are against the mosque at Ground Zero and we sure as hell do not want to be paying for a radical Iman such as this to be representing the U. S. Not only is this an insult to the victims of the attack, but it is in fact a slap in the face to everyone in this country who holds our ideals dear. But why not? After all, Obama has made it quite clear he feels the people of the U.S. have no right to be against his ideas, you know. The Muslims are right and the U.S. is evil! The American people be damned, he will deliver us to his Muslim and Socialist brethren! But as usual, we see no major outcry from the scum known as the mainstream press!

You would think by now the media as a whole would possibly take a look at themselves and clean up their act. Maybe they could report without bias. That however is what is known as a pipe dream. The state press answers to one entity and it sure as hell isn’t the people or their own journalistic ethics! As long as they tow the line for their dictator, oops, I mean President all is well. As such, when something as heinous as the next item on today’s agenda crops up, instead of REPORTING on it, the media falls strangely silent. Case in point?

If I, in a speech said ” a welfare recipient who is healthy and able should try to get a job rather than expect to keep recieving welfare” I would be labled a racist. Please note: There is not one word in that last statement as to race of any kind! I refer to able bodied healthy people who are too damned lazy to get off their asses and work (and for you crybaby libbies out there, I realize the President and country have screwed up the job market as it is. I’m referring to people who are basically lazy takers of which there are many) I would be subject to the worse of vilification by the leftist scum out there as well as be the poster boy of racial hatred in this country as that is the way the main stream press would in fact portray me! So, where is the outcry from those same bastards as to this next item from John McCormack?

Reid Suggests Opponents Want to Target Hispanics Because "Their Skin's a Tone Darker"
BY John McCormack
August 11, 2010 1:09 PM

Harry Reid's campaign is spinning his statement--"I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican"--claiming that Reid wasn't making a racial argument.

"Sen. Reid’s contention was simply that he doesn't understand how anyone, Hispanic or otherwise, would vote for Republican candidates because they oppose saving teachers’ jobs, oppose job-creating tax incentives for small businesses, oppose investments in job-creating clean energy projects, and oppose the help for struggling, unemployed Nevadans to put food on the table and stay in their homes," reads a statement from the Reid campaign.

In fact, Laura Meyers of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports that Reid made his comment in the context of a discussion about immigration policy and suggested that some want to treat Hispanics differently because "their skin's a tone darker."
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid on Tuesday slammed Republicans for blocking comprehensive immigration reform and told Hispanics they shouldn't be treated differently because "their skin's a tone darker" than that of America's early European immigrants. [...]
"My wife's father was an immigrant from Russia," Reid said of his father-in-law, who was of the Jewish faith at a time of deadly religious persecution across Europe. "He and his family were driven out of Russia. They came for the peace and quiet and safety of the United States.

"Immigration is nothing new," Reid added, speaking to more than 50 mostly activist Hispanics who applauded his anti-GOP remarks. "We are a nation of immigrants. So because the wave of immigrants we have now -- their skin's a tone darker than ours -- doesn't make it any different."

The clear implication of the "their skin's a tone darker than ours" line is that some if not all of those who oppose Reid on immigration are motivated by racism. In other words, Reid's campaign isn't doubling down on his remark so much as it's trying to weasel its way out.”

Can you believe this crap?! The leader of the Senate puts out some of the most racist tripe I have ever seen from a public official! And yet, except for a few courageous reporters out there I either didn’t see anything mentioned on this or worse, those that did finally address it fell over backwards to “explain” exactly what he meant. And, I have yet to see anything on this on the major networks! What? Is Chairman Harry so untouchable? Is this administration and in turn the lap dog media so blind to their own biases? Or is it the fact that they, as always are indeed correct while the majority of the rest of us are too damn dumb and stupid to understand their definition of racism?

Our country is under attack, not only from outside but also from within. It’s there in the open yet when an idiot like Chairman Harry comes up with something as asinine and hateful as the above, the smiling happy go lucky no count bastards who call themselves the Media refuse to do their job! Instead, they dutifully spread the hate! What Harry said, in my book proves beyond a doubt the man has no right to hold any public office including dog catcher (maybe I shouldn’t go that far. That’s an insult to honest working dog catchers).

The sad part is the Media. In their rush to vilify honest people and protect the very rancid scum that they should be exposing they instead show their true colors. The mainstream media is every bit as corrupt as Pravda was in the USSR or the Goebells propaganda machine was in Nazi Germany! When is the so called Free Press actually going to exercise their rights and in fact become what is expected of them?

More Lies From The Thieves In D.C.

As everyone by now knows, I’m pretty much fed up with the lies and misdirection coming from every nook and cranny in Washington. As our elected representatives forgo any semblance of transparency in their attempt to keep power and implement their Anti-American agenda the Bull gets deeper and deeper. I and others have tried to point out in the past the blatant manipulation of information for political survival. As we all know, the Imbicile in the White House House touts his many reforms and policies as “Successes” Using lying methods worthy of praise from the likes of Goebells and most Marxist lying sacks of shit, he proudly and openly screws over the American public. Anything it takes to save his “royal”ass (that’s satire for you libbies out there) he throws out there, fact or fiction. Example: The race card? Why not if it accomplishes his end result? And on it goes.

I’ve reprinted 2 columns I found today, one from Bruce McQuain and one from Rob Port. Well researched using facts. Bottom line: OBAMA LIED! We have and in fact have some really borderline people in government when it comes to truth, but never in my lifetime have I seen anything like this guy! However, we shouldn’t be the least bit surprised that in effect they rob from Peter to pay Paul. Time honored way of doing things in our dysfunctional capitol. But destroying our country with lies and deceit for political gain? Please note: What is explained below is important. Misleading the American public as these clowns are is not just about power. I believe it is treasonous! Someone has to get this through to the electorate before it's to late!

As usual, I’m sure good people like the two gentlemen I cite below will be vilified by the fawning admirers of our dictator, oops, I mean President. Funny how people like Peron, Castro and other dictators are admired by the very people they will crunch under their heels. I never quite understood that. As for me, I just can’t see how bankrupting our country and destroying the free market system along with Socializing the entire shit and caboodle will lead to anything other than utter failure of the great experiment known as the United States! And as always, it begins with an electorate that chooses to take and listen to lies and false promises from folks who’s only aim in life is absolute power.

Political fiction of "Trustees’ report" too much for CMS actuary
August 9th, 2010 | Author: Bruce McQuain

You remember last week when the supposed “good news” was released – Social Security wasn’t in as dire shape as we’d been told and Medicare was going to be fine too? Yeah, since ObamaCare passed and the doc fix was sure to be implemented, not to mention the half trillion in cuts to Medicare, why we were on the road not only to solvency but to deficit reduction.

And the yearly bit of political theater played out as planned:
The normal process with the annual Trustees’ Reports is for the Trustees to develop and publish the best available projections for the future finances of Social Security and Medicare. The respective Social Security and Medicare actuaries then sign a pro forma blessing of those projections, which is tacked to the back of the report when released to the public.

“Pro forma” is the key. Usually, whether they believe the rosy projections or not, their signatures appear on the report.
But this year, one of them just couldn’t do it in good conscience. The Medicare Chief Actuary just couldn’t sign his name to the fiction without adding a memo of his own.

The actuary’s alternative memo explains that “the projections in the report do not represent the ‘best estimate’ of actual future Medicare expenditures.” Worse than that, they are not even in the ballpark of reasonability. The official 2010 Trustees’ Report tells us that total Medicare expenses will be total 6.37% of GDP by 2080. The CMS actuary’s alternative memorandum explains that 10.70% of GDP is a more reasonable estimate for that year – though one that is roughly 68% higher.
The two reasons the actuary cites are the “doc fix” – a formula the actuary describes as "clearly unworkable and almost certain to be overridden by Congress” (both the Obama administration and leaders in Congress are on record opposing them – yet there they are in the report on the “plus” side of the ledger).

The other assumption the actuary dismisses as unrealistic is the assumption that future program cost will be contained by “downward adjustments in annual price updates reflecting in turn the assumption that health service productivity growth will parallel “economy-wide productivity.” The actuary flatly states there is no evidence to support this assumption and, on the contrary, much to call it deeply into question.

E21 notes:
This is a key point; the glowingly optimistic projections in the official Trustees’ Report assume that we as a nation will be content to have 40% of our medical facilities go under within the next 40 years, and that we will happily accept these severe constraints upon beneficiaries’ access to health care. If that is not in fact the societal will after the enactment of health care reform, then the official cost estimates should be tossed into the nearest receptacle.

Bad though all of this is, none of it is actually the worst gimmick in the official report’s advertised improvement in Medicare solvency. That involves the double-counting of Medicare savings. Earlier this year, Congress passed a health care bill containing various new Medicare taxes and constraints on program expenditures. Such savings are assumed in the official report to extend the solvency of Medicare. But Congress chose instead to spend the savings on a new health care entitlement.
Remember, the Trustees’ report, like CBO projections, must be based on current law. So they must include the assumptions contained within those laws. What the actuary says very bluntly is the assumptions are a fantasy and that the reality of the situation is far from that included in the report.

“(T)he financial projections shown in this report for Medicare do not represent a reasonable expectation for actual program operations in either the short range. . . or the long range. . . . I encourage readers to review the ‘illustrative alternative’ projections that are based on more sustainable assumptions for physician and other Medicare price updates.
You can read that “illustrative alternative” here. Needless to say the Trustees’ report, as published, belongs on the same shelf in your library as “The Wizard of Oz.”

Rob Port:
Accounting Gimmicks: Democrats Using Cuts To Food Stamps Program To Pay For States Bailout
Rob Port • August 9, 2010

Here’s the thing: They’re not really paying for it.
The much-hyped bailout for government workers in the states is being “paid for”, according to Democrats, by cuts to the food stamps program. Which, whatever you may feel about the bailouts for unionized public workers, sounds reasonable enough.
Until you realize that the Democrats are pledging to re-instate the food stamps spending as soon as the bailouts pass.

Liberal Democrats said they will vote for a $26.1 billion state aid bill when the House reconvenes this week but are committed to restoring the food stamps program funding that is being used to pay for it …
Nearly half of the state aid bill’s cost is being offset by taking $12 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is the official name for the food stamps program. The bill finds those savings by ending in 2014 a stimulus program that has increased food stamp levels.

They’re counting the money twice, basically. They count it once as savings that “pay for” the bailouts for the states. Then they count it again as a restoration of funding to the food stamps program.

This is actually the same sort of accounting deception Democrats used on the health care bill. Over the weekend Obama’s weekly radio address touted a government report claiming that Obamacare added another 12 years of solvency to Medicare. The problem is that the report indicated that the additional 12 years of solvency was nothing but an accounting gimmick.

They counted the spending twice.
Liberals are entitled to their own opinions about government policy. They’re not entitled to their own math.

On Crybabies And Circumventing The Law

Busy day today kids. There are 2 other things I really want to comment on. First off, something that registered quite high on my “Oh you poor overworked bastard scale” of “you got to be kidding me” bullshit that seems to come out of the propaganda mill daily as to this sad sack administration. I read this and almost choked:

“ President Obama’s economic team is exhausted, according to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, and that is one the reasons Christina Romer announced her departure Thursday.
Gibbs dismissed reports that Romer, the outgoing chairwoman of the president’s council for economic affairs, was leaving because of conflicts with Larry Summers, the director of the National Economic Council.
The press secretary told The Hill on Friday that Romer and the rest of the economic team have worked the equivalent of six years during the 18 months they’ve been in office, and Romer wanted to return to her normal life”

I can’t make up crap like this. What exactly have they worked on? Oh, that’s right. The bankruptcy of our nation as we march to Socialism! Seriously, that couldn’t have taken much work on their part, could it? After all, the radical left has had their marching orders from their Socialist handlers for years. All they had to do was implement it (that’s force it down our throats for you libbies out there). Certainly not much thinking or planning here, No Siree! Simply deliver our country to the Socialist bastards that have happily destroyed the rest of the world! I’ll tell you who has worked for the equivalent of 6 years in 18 month! The men and women who have fought and are fighting now to give us the freedom and rights we enjoy, things that while, unfortunately they are taken for granted by far too many people, are in fact being taken away from us by the very bastards who are crying how overworked they are! Give me a break!

Finally today, I want to reprint a brilliant column I found by Charles Krauthammer. Brilliant in it’s analysis and, I think, exactly what I have been trying to say in my own way as to the complete disregard to our laws and our Constitution! This is exactly what is happening! I have said more than once we are headed for a hard core, hard left dictatorship! This ain’t rocket science folks! This is fact! Our country's very survival as we know it is at stake!

Is 'Consent Of The Governed' Thing Of Past?

By CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER Posted 08/05/2010 06:24 PM ET

Last week, a draft memo surfaced from the Homeland Security Department suggesting ways to administratively circumvent existing law to allow several categories of illegal immigrants to avoid deportation and, indeed, for some to be granted permanent residency.

Most disturbing was the stated rationale. This was being proposed "in the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform." In other words, because Congress refuses to do what these bureaucrats would like to see done, they will legislate it themselves.
Regardless of your feelings on the substance of the immigration issue, this is not how a constitutional democracy should operate. Administrators administer the law, they don't change it. That's the legislators' job.

When questioned, the White House downplayed the toxic memo, leaving the impression that it was nothing more than ruminations emanating from the bowels of Homeland Security. But the administration is engaged in an even more significant power play elsewhere.

A 2007 Supreme Court ruling gave the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate carbon emissions if it could demonstrate that they threaten human health and the environment. The Obama EPA made precisely that finding, thereby granting itself a huge expansion of power and, noted the Washington Post, sending "a message to Congress."

It was not a terribly subtle message: Enact cap-and-trade legislation — taxing and heavily regulating carbon-based energy — or the EPA will do so unilaterally. As Frank O'Donnell of Clean Air Watch noted, such a finding "is likely to help light a fire under Congress to get moving."

Well, Congress didn't. Despite the "regulatory cudgel" (to again quote the Post) the administration has been waving, the Senate has repeatedly refused to acquiesce. Good for the Senate. But what to do when the executive is passively aggressive rather than actively so?

Take border security. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., reports that President Obama told him about pressure from his political left and its concern that if the border is secured, Republicans will have no incentive to support comprehensive reform (i.e., amnesty).

Indeed, Homeland Security's abandonment of the "virtual fence" on the southern border, combined with its lack of interest in completing the real fence that today covers only one-third of the border, gives the distinct impression that serious border enforcement is not a high administration priority absent some Republican quid pro quo on comprehensive reform.

But border enforcement is not something to be manipulated in return for legislative favors. It is, as the administration vociferously argued in court in the Arizona case, the federal executive's constitutional responsibility. Its job is to faithfully execute the laws. Non-execution is a dereliction of duty.

Imperialistic BS! Queen Obama's Trip

I found the below on various blogs and news sites. I’m not going to pretend I know exactly what is paid for privately as opposed to “by the taxpayer” other than we can safely say the Secret Service Protection and flights are most likely paid for by you and me. I will however be more than happy to agree with the premise that brands her as “a modern-day Marie Antoinette”. And yes, my anger is indeed mounting as to this foray into “princess Land” by our first lady. Again, my apologies as I forgot to copy the site name I got this from:

“Michelle Obama today faced a fresh wave of attacks over her lavish break in Spain with 40 friends, which could easily cost U.S. taxpayers a staggering £50,000 a day.
The First Lady has been lambasted for her extravagance at a time when the economy is still struggling. One blogger went so far as to brand her a modern-day Marie Antoinette.
And her critics will be further annoyed when they learn that the president's wife had a Spanish beach closed off today so that she, her daughter and their entourage could go for a swim.
Spanish police cleared off a stretch of beach at the Villa Padierna Hotel in Marbella after the Obamas had finished a busy day of sightseeing. . . .
For a start, they will be paying for the 60 rooms booked at the 129-room Hotel Villa Padierna. With basic rooms starting around £380 each, the nightly bill will be no less than £22,800. . . .
The meal cost about £40 a head, according to El Mundo - which means a bill topping £1,600 would have hit the table if all 40 friends dined together.
Stretched over five nights that's £8,000 for dinner alone. . . .
The per diems for the secret service team runs at around £172 each, which amounts to nearly £60,000 for the length of the summer break.
Use of Air Force Two, the Air Force version of a 757, comes in at £91,900 for the round trip. This does not include time on the ground. . . .
Conservative estimates already put the total cost at £150,000. With Majorca to come, the bill will be more like £250,000. . . .
Back in the U.S., anger was mounting - especially as it has emerged the First Lady will have enjoyed eight holidays by the end of the summer. . . .”

So, once again we see not only the sheer “We are royalty and the public as a whole had better start treating us like it” attitude of this President and his Queen, OOPS! I mean his wife but also the sheer disdain as evidenced by the present ruling class (that’s the leftist Democratic radical scum in office now as well as any other politician who thinks they are above us for those of you off in La-La leftist heaven) foe the taxpaying electorate as a whole.

Some years back, there was a controversy as to an elegant first lady and the White House China. As we all should remember, Nancy Reagan was taken to task quite harshly when after she had found the White House did not have a matching set of China, she had the old China replaced. I can’t get over the fact how the left honed in on the “perception of Royalty” and how they demeaned Mrs. Reagan’s attempt at giving the country something to be proud of. If memory serves, the Marie Antoinette charge was thrown at her quite viciously. The problem with all of that! The only reason was to try to show Nancy as “above” the everyday man. What was lost, and the leftist scum to this day will never admit to is that not one cent of taxpayer money went to replacing that China! Nancy got her “friends” to pay for every piece. This is better known as private donations. People who were proud of their country replaced the China, not the taxpayer. Nancy Reagan was a good honest, god loving patriot.

On the other hand, look at the current first lady. She puts herself out there as a queen. And don’t think for one moment she doesn’t think that (or maybe I should say Czarina. After all, the President seems to be Red Russian in nature). Where is the outcry from the left? Hell, shouldn’t the Marxists be crying about the waste and regal posturing emanating from their rulers? Of course not! Seems to me the ruling class of the hard core Red Socialists also lived as fat cats while the Proletariat suffered! This isn’t even a double standard anymore! The fact that this president, his wife and the powers that be in general choose to keep shoving it up the ass of the American taxpayer is more than enough proof of the complete disconnect between this administration (and it seems most members of Congress) and the people! Funny how the main Media outlets also choose to glorify Queen Michelle instead of chastise her. And people wonder why I’m sick of all this!

This current First Lady brings dishonor to her position. But we shouldn't be surprised, should we? After all, she has more than once expressed her disgust and dislike for our great country. Just like her husband, she is nothing more than an Anti-American radical. Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, Nancy Reagan, Mamie Eisenhower, Lady Bird Johnson, Jackie, hell even Hillary Clinton do not deserve to even be mentioned in the same breath with "Her Highness Michelle" She is an insult to the people who have proceeded her as is her leftist husband!

BTW: One quick question here. Why has the media, in covering Chelsea's wedding treated it, for want of better words, a royal affair, yet when Bush's daughter got married it was treated as an afterthought or worse, described as excessive as to the pomp and circumstance? Is the hatred for anything from the right prevalent as to the press that they even impose their double standard on the kids? Just wondering.

You Can't Make This Up! Corruption and Idiocy!

I was going to lay low for a few days figuring I had spouted off enough as to the moronic idiocy that comes from our friends in D.C. Combine that with the fact I am extremely ticked off about the way our country is going down the tubes thanks to the leftist bastards now in power and my temper as a whole, I just wanted to back off for a while. Of course, that was a pipe dream! After all, Idiots Anonymous, the people in D.C., once again gave me fodder so I have to once again vent my spleen. Apologies in advance for any nasty words of which there will be a few.

As has been reported, Christina Romer is resigning her position to go back to Berkley and teach. Below are two exerpts reporting this. As anyone can see, apparently she believes tax hikes will harm the economy. I’m ok with that though. So what. Supposedly she’s leaving as she feels she is being ignored in deference to one of the President’s leftist advisors. So what set me off on this? Read the statement by her below! “The U.S. needs stronger job growth to lower the nation's unemployment rate.” No Shit Sherlock! Why do these elitist bastards have to talk down to us? We didn’t know this. The American people are too stupid to know something that basic?

Aug. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Christina Romer, who chairs the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, said the U.S. needs stronger job growth to lower the nation's unemployment rate.

Then this: At least I can almost applaud her for resigning. That is I would if she hadn’t of been so extremely stupid as to join this administration in the first place!

"Frustration with the slow job growth? Maybe the frustration is from the fact that Christina Romer knows better and that Obamanomics are a complete disaster. Romer knows that tax hikes mean loss of jobs and that is exactly what Obama intends to do. Christina Romer had no choice to resign, especially when she and her husband David Romer wrote “The Macroeconomic Effects of Tax Changes: Estimates Based on a New Measure of Fiscal Shocks.”

In short, tax increases appear to have a very large, sustained and highly significant negative impact on output… the more intuitive way to express this result is that tax cuts have very large and persistent positive output effects.”

Then we have President Bozo and his side kick “loose Cannon Joe” out there touting the great recovery. At the same time, we added roughly 75,000 jobs last week according to administration hacks. Oops! Moron alert! There were 150,000 more jobless claims. Seems like a net loss of roughly 75,000 jobs to me. Below from Bruce McQuain.

“Yup, as Tim Geithner would say – “welcome to the recovery”. And, given the trends, I would guess this isn’t the last of the “unexpectedly” high unemployment report we’ll see. Again, ad nauseam, there’s been no incentive provided by government, but plenty of disincentives that are keeping businesses on the sidelines and consumers from spending:

Initial jobless claims climbed by 19,000 to 479,000 in the week ended July 31, the most since April and exceeding the highest estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The number of people receiving unemployment benefits dropped, while those getting extended payments rose.

A cooling economy means employers will resist taking on more staff in coming months, raising the risk consumer spending will weaken further. The jobless rate rose last month as payroll increases weren’t large enough to keep up with gains in the labor force, economists forecast a government report tomorrow will show.
As if anyone has to be told, this is not good. And it wouldn’t surprise me to see the U6 unemployment rate tick up over 10% again in the next few months:
“There really is no upside momentum in the labor market, and that’s a critical long-term determinant of where the economy is going,” said Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA Inc. in New York. “People just aren’t getting jobs.”

That’s because jobs aren’t being created and offered. Name the incentive, at this point, to do so? Tax increases are in the offing, health care laws, 1099 requirements, Democrats still pushing for cap-and-trade, new financial regulations that impact the market and economic policies which give the impression the administration is at war with business.

Why would any sane business owner invest in his business in times as unsettled as these?

Answer: he or she wouldn’t. And that’s the biggest reason unemployment continues to “unexpectedly” rise. Headcount is the easiest thing to add when times are good. It’s also the easiest thing to reduce when times are bad. And if they stay bad – as we’re seeing now – few if any are going to be adding jobs.
Economics 101 – provide incentives to get the behavior you want. Provide disincentives to discourage the behavior you don’t want. The administration’s economic policies have, to this point, provided business with all manner of disincentives to hiring. And then the “experts” are surprised when jobless rates are “unexpectedly” higher than estimated.
Go figure."

I found the below in the Illinois Review, but the conservative sites are reporting this pretty thoroughly. Bottom line: A big Democrat fundraiser is in fact corrupt. Funny how quiet the majors have been on this though. Oops! Forgot, a co-opted media can’t spread the truth about the people they support. Hell, they’re already upset enough that they have to at least report something as to Rangell and that racist Waters. Goebells' like propaganda. Truth be damned! Those of you who don’t like my comparing it to Goebells. TFB!!!

Illinois Review:

“Will the name "Magliocchetti" become as household as "Abramoff"?
The Washington Times' points to another federal Democratic scandal brewing in DC -- besides the Charlie Rangel/Maxine Waters' ethics embarrassment. This one involves an indicted super lobbyist that made $16 million a year lobbying for congressional earmarks. It remains to be seen as to whether the lamestream media makes the name "Paul Magliocchetti" as household as they did the name "Jack Abramoff":

A federal grand jury has indicted one-time supe rlobbyist Paul Magliocchetti on charges of making hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions through straw donors to favored members of Congress.

Mr. Magliocchetti headed the PMA group, an Arlington lobbying firm that specialized in getting its clients earmarks from key members of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee. He arranged for large amounts in donations to, among others, three powerful Democratic members of the subcommittee - John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, James P. Moran of Virginia and Peter J. Visclosky of Indiana.”

Finally, as to the corrupt leftist pig we get to refer to as Mr. President. Bad enough he has no leadership ability. Good at lying, blaming other people for what’s wrong. Can’t take criticism. Pisses him off . But the stuff below really shows just what a rancid piece of you know what this guy really is. One caveat here. Being from Chicago myself, I shouldn’t be the least bit surprised by the fact that this idiot would ask us to trust him and a corruption tainted candidate. It’s always been that way I guess. Basically, it’s more of the same old Bull Shit! And yes, I meant to say it exactly like that. Our country is in grave peril and this Bozo is telling us to trust him! Thanks but no thanks!

Frontpage.com/Michelle Malkin

“What would Giannoulias know about “ordinary Americans”? Giannoulias, 34, befriended Obama during pickup basketball games with an elite group that also included Michelle Obama’s brother, Craig; Chicago edu-crat Arne Duncan (now Education Secretary); and hedge fund manager John Rogers (the ex-husband of the Obamas’ ex-White House social secretary, Desiree Rogers). He spread his wealth and influence around early and often to support Obama’s fledgling political career. He pitched in $7,000 in 2003-2004 to Obama’s Illinois State Senate bids. He hosted fundraisers for Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2004 and for his presidential campaign in 2007.

Where’d the cash come from? Giannoulias’ Greek immigrant family founded Chicago-based Broadway Bank, a now-defunct financial institution that loaned tens of millions of dollars to convicted mafia felons and faced bankruptcy after decades of engaging in risky, high-flying behavior. It’s the place where Obama parked his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign funds. And it’s the same place where a mutual friend of Obama and Giannoulias — convicted Obama fundraiser/slum lord Tony Rezko — used to bounce nearly $500,000 in bad checks written to Las Vegas casinos.”

Wonder Why Our Country's Going Down The Tubes?

I have just finished watching the tape of Mayor Bloomberg pathetically trying to justify the building of a Mosque at Ground Zero. Never have I been more disgusted than I am right now. What next Bloomberg? Well, Boo Hoo! “It’s about religious freedom” he cries. “We have to show the world we are tolerant and understand. The terrorists win if we deny them the right to build it” And on and on and on! Forget for just a moment the complete lack of respect for the victims of the 9/11 attack. Hell, for that matter forget it even happened. Appease the Muslims. Hand them the propaganda victory they will trumpet through the world. “The U.S. now understands the horrible things they have done in the past. They are apologizing for their arrogance!” BULL SHIT!!! (apologies for the harsh language).

I have had it up to here with mealy mouthed politicians who are more than happy to spit in the face of the public at large just to score a political point. Furthermore, I have no use for treasonous bastards who turn their backs on not only the victims in this case, but their own heritage and that includes you Mr. Mayor. No one is saying they don’t want them to build their Mosque! They are saying please just do not build it in this place. Do we think for one moment the radical Muslims in other countries would allow a Christian church to be built in Mecca? Moron Alert! They’d destroy it and the people that came with it! As someone of Jewish descent, it really pisses me off that the Mayor of New York can weepingly preach “tolerance” as to a people that would want him and everyone related to him wiped off the face of the earth if given the chance.

As I have said previously. I am against the building of this Mosque. Thousands of Americans and some foreigners were killed by those bastards. As far as I’m concerned the Muslim community, in this case can rot in hell before I would ever condone this building on this site. BTW: All of you Jews in N.Y. I have a question. How is it that you are so tolerant not only of your turncoat mayor, but this Anti-Jewish President. Why do you as a group turn your back on the hatred that is aimed at you? I’ve always wondered about this. Some of my relatives were in the concentration camps! My step-father told me of the horrors orchestrated by the Germans on our people. The main radical Muslim fanatics want us dead. Yet, you side with the left, people who, when you listen close despise not only we Jews, but also the ideals of our country. You should all be ashamed of yourselves, especially you Mr. Mayor. People like you disgust me!

Now that I have that off my chest, there are 3 other things I want to address today. First, I’m reprinting this from O’Reilly’s site. It’s all over the news. For the record, I agree whole heartedly with Rep. Rogers. Treason against our country should be punishable by death. I have always felt this way. Leaking of documents or spying. It is still treason! The sooner the cry babies and apologists understand that the better!

STORY EXCERPT /O’Reilly site/Politico:

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) believes the death penalty should be applied in the case of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning if the accused provider of nearly 80,000 secret intelligence documents to WikiLeaks is found guilty by military tribunal. Rogers made the comments Monday during an interview with the Michigan radio station WHMI, which later posted an audio file of the interview. "The death penalty clearly should be considered here," Rogers said. "[Manning] clearly aided the enemy to what may result in the death of U.S. soldiers or those cooperating. If that is not a capital offense, I don't know what is."

Next is the little tidbit below, again in many news sources. This is how the stimulus money that has been stolen from the pockets of hard working Americans is being spent. And they want us to trust them to waste even more money?

“Despite President Obama’s pledge to retain more hi-tech jobs in the U.S., a federal agency run by a hand-picked Obama appointee has launched a $22 million program to train workers, including 3,000 specialists in IT and related functions, in South Asia.
Following their training, the tech workers will be placed with outsourcing vendors in the region that provide offshore IT and business services to American companies looking to take advantage of the Asian subcontinent’s low labor costs.”

But it gets better. I’ve seen this everywhere and copied this from Business Insider. If true, you all might as well get ready for a deeper recession than anything in the past.

"We mentioned this morning the chatter about the Obama administration possibly using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to perform major mortgage forgiveness as a way to "bail out Main Street" (blech), and buy votes for the November election.
We're not convinced that this is good politics (let alone good policy). After all, there's a lot of frustration at the idea of homeowners getting bailouts they don't deserve.

The conservative blog Hot Air is already tearing into the plan:
A massive write-down of principal in underwater mortgages would cost us additional tens of billions of dollars, if not $100 billion or more, in order to get these mortgages to market level. That money won’t come out of thin air, either. Either it will take taxpayer dollars to make up the difference, or the sudden and arbitrary writedown will make Fannie/Freddie investors a whole lot more poor than they were before. The Obama administration can’t afford to send Wall Street reeling with that kind of shock, especially this close to an election and with the economy already sinking, so it would almost certainly require massive taxpayer subsidies to accomplish, on top of what’s already been spent on TARP bailouts.

In other words, it’s exactly the same kind of Obamanomics that we have seen for the last eighteen months — spend what we don’t have now, run up debt like crazy, and hope that a momentary spike will translate into political success. Unfortunately, that has also been the formula for long-term economic failure."

I for one am a hard working simple man. I pay my bills and if needed will double or triple up on work to do it. The value of my house has been cut in half due to the economic conditions, thus I’m paying more than I should be on my mortgage. Well guess what? That’s not anyone else’s problem but my own! I brought the house at a set price and I will pay for it! But again I will rot in hell before I will ever believe that the American taxpayer should bail out anyone who bought a house knowing (and laughing about it) they would not be able to pay for it in the long run. Furthermore, we’re going to bail out Barney’s corrupt mis-managed mortgage corps? Responsibility people! It sure as hell isn’t mine or the taxpayers who do it right! This is nothing more than overt Socialism of the worse kind! Get this straight Mr. President and Mr. Geitner (I mention him because he said today that America will become even more unequal unless taxes are raised on the wealthy)

Moron alert #2! The American public does not in any way shape or form OWE anyone else a piece of anything we have earned! Other than reasonable levies (something politicians of all note laugh at) for government and helping those who cannot help themselves ( and I sure as hell don’t mean the lazy bastards who refuse to work for a living!) what I earn is mine! I do not owe anyone anything! Let them earn it! I did as did the millions of people who made it! Everyone should have the equal right to succeed, but don’t expect me or the American taxpayer to make someone else our equal. They can get off their collective fat asses and do it themselves!

Random Thoughts: Hypocrisy to Revolution

I have a lot on my mind today. Be it hypocrisy, lies, racism, ethics, or whatever else our elected officials either embrace or ignore, the last week has done nothing else except strengthen my contention that nothing short of a peaceful revolution is going to save our country! So, let’s get to it!

1: As we all know, there is a great debate about putting a mosque at the site of ground Zero in NY, something I am vehemently against. For taking this stance, I am called racist and a hate monger. We and the world have been told by our president and current leaders that we are “arrogant” or we “never understood” the Muslim community. Below, is from a blog I stumbled across (sorry, I forgot which one) in which the writer has reprinted a speech made by Newt Gingrich that came from Newt’s website. Notice, the second paragraph is the writer’s. What Newt says is exactly how I feel. This should be a warning to all Americans!

“In a deliberately dishonest campaign exploiting our belief in religious liberty, radical Islamists are actively engaged in a public relations campaign to try and browbeat and guilt Americans (and other Western countries) to accept the imposition of sharia in certain communities, no matter how deeply sharia law is in conflict with the protections afforded by the civil law and the democratic values undergirding our constitutional system.

He goes through a number of cases, many of which we’ve reported here, of stealth jihad and authorities backing down in the fact of Muslim demands. And he closes with these words on the ground-zero mosque:

We need to have the moral courage to denounce it. It is simply grotesque to erect a mosque at the site of the most visible and powerful symbol of the horrible consequences of radical Islamist ideology. Well-meaning Muslims, with common human sensitivity to the victims’ families, realize they have plenty of other places to gather and worship. But for radical Islam, the mosque would become an icon of triumph, encouraging them in their challenge to our civilization.

Apologists for radical Islamist hypocrisy are trying to argue that we have to allow the construction of this mosque in order to prove America’s commitment to religious liberty. They say this despite the fact that there are already over 100 mosques in New York City.

In fact, they’re partially correct—this is a test of our commitment to religious liberty. It is a test to see if we have the resolve to face down an ideology that aims to destroy religious liberty in America, and every other freedom we hold dear”

For the record on my part:
I am sick and tired of being told by our scum bag of a president that I am intolerant. Radical Islamist terrorists attacked us. I REPEAT! Radical Islamic fundamentalist terrorists attacked us! I and others do not condemn the common Muslim. However, I will rot in hell before I would even begin to think that putting a mosque at Ground Zero will promote understanding, blah, blah blah! Those people want to destroy us! My answer. They declared war on us, thus wipe the radicals off the face of the earth if needed. But under no circumstances should we even entertain the thought of changing our laws, erecting some edifice to show understanding. etc.

BTW: As to Shia law or whatever. We have a Supreme Court nominee who says she would look at foreign law to help her make a decision. So, I’ll use my big blanket here. The world can blow it out their collective asses. The laws of our land are the only thing that matters! No one, especially a Supreme court justice should give one hoot what the rest of the world does!

2: We also have the “ethics” problems both Charlie Rangell and Maxine Waters face. And before you lobbies get your panties in a bunch, there is also Sen. Ensign and others with problems. My main problem is as follows: We have an investigation by a “nonpartisan” ethics committee. In Rangell’s case, there are 13 serious charges. In Water’s case, again serious and substantiated charges. We can always make the argument as to the fact that if the culprit is from the right side of the aisle, demands for their expulsion are immediate and harsh while on the left, it’s “a small problem” But the problem runs much deeper and shows not only the hypocrisy of the lefty, but also the deep seated corruption that permeates DC on the whole.

Where are the cries for expulsion? Rangell broke the law and Waters, along with breaking tha law and unethical behavior is one of the biggest racists of them all. And yes, I repeat that also. The woman is a race baiter of the highest degree. Yet, unlike what happens when a Republican gets in trouble, no calls from the media for expulsion. That of course is expected. What troubles me more is this little fact. The “nonpartisan, evenly divided” ethics committee recommends REPRIMAND! Good God! The man is a tax cheat, yet a slap on the wrist?

On the surface, this proves something I’ve felt ever since Barney Frank got away with the reprimand he received when caught with the male page years ago and that is the fact that in the end, our elected officials are going to protect their own, ethics be damned. The cancer of corruption runs so deep that they can’t bring themselves to do the right thing. And the people suffer as these out of control idiots ruin our country. Oh, I know I’ll be brought to task bringing up our gay friend Barney. I’m sure the leftist morons out there will look at this as a form of homophobic hate or whatever. OFW! The man should have been expelled and put in jail, pure and simple. Those of you who don’t like my thoughts on that? I don’t really care what you think. A crime was committed and a man of power got away with it! Pure and simple and it is wrong, no matter what your persuasion, as is what’s coming down as to Rangell and Waters and any other elected official. They should be held to a higher standard. Period!

3: Of course, I can’t even remotely “not” comment on the Arizona thing. First, Judge Bolton. Did you really go to law school? Just wondering! One question! Who in the hell do you think you are?! No judge has the right to make a ruling on something “because the system will be overrun” as you state. The law of the land is clear! The Arizona law is sound. The only problem here is moronic leftist idiots like the president and yourself! The fact that you, a judge are willing to come down on the side of blatant political bullshit automatically disqualifies you from any right to a judgeship You and everyone in this country that is willing to turn a blind eye to illegal activity of any kind should be ashamed!

Sarha Palin has the perfect take on the situation in her statement below:
“Jan Brewer has the "cojones" that our president does not have to look out for all Americans, not just Arizonans, but all Americans in this desire of us to secure our borders and allow legal immigration to help build this country, as was the purpose of immigration laws.”

Perfectly put Sarah, so simple yet so true! She’s being taken to task for being “disrespectful” to the office, just as she did when she compared this moron in chief to Hitler. Yet unlike the crybaby in office who refuses to take any criticism, Sarah stands tall! And she is correct! But remember folks. It’s not just a lack of balls that makes this president the disaster area he is. It’s the fact that he is an Anti-American leftist radical! And let’s face one thing. The majority of the leftists have no balls. They are followers of failed ideology who cannot and will not think for themselves.

Revolution starts in the mind people. When one’s country is taken from them, when one’s ideals are held up to ridicule by leftist pigs, when one’s religion is held against them, when our leaders put themselves ahead of their constituents, when the greatest country in the world is branded as arrogant by her president, when enforcing our laws is only convenient if for political gain, when our elected officials basically bankrupt our children and grandchildren and when a leader openly shows his utter disdain for our founding principles while blatantly defying the law of the land, the thought of revolution begins to germinate. As our leaders proceed to oppress the electorate, that idea gets stronger until the people actually act.

Revolution in the U.S. can and should be peaceful, through the ballot box. When your elected official shows up at a town hall meeting (provided they have the balls to do so), confront them! Call their bluffs as to the lies and hypocrisy! Make them answer questions! You, the tax paying CITIZEN are their employers! They are not royalty, none of them including this sad sack of an excuse for a president! If as so often is the case they choose to ignore you, vote their sorry asses out! The time has come to “stop putting up” with the status quo! “We The People” must act before everything our forefathers gave us turns to shit! It’s happening now and has to be stopped! Freedom comes at a cost as our forefathers knew. It’s our turn now to rescue our country from the forces of evil. Cliché term, I know that, but on the button. I sincerely believe this president and his administration, made up of America hating radical leftist scum as it is, is hell bent on destroying our country as we know it! WE, the voters must act now!
