From A Supreme Court Justice No Less!</title><content type='html'>In my last few posts,I have tried to remind everyone of why I believe and how the founding fathers, faith, education and so on have formed those beliefs. I fervently am thankful for the founding fathers and what they gave us! Yet as we have all seen, there are folks in power who are more than willing to sacrifice everything this nation stands for and in fact are openly hostile to our basic principles and ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Below are some quotes from Justice Ruth Ginsberg she made in a speech to a group in Egypt. Talk about a far left, Anti-American agenda and in fact something that I for one feel is on the edge of open disdain for our founders and our ideas? Read the below! I pulled this from the Right Wing news site, William Teach, but its all over the news (again, if one looks because I sure as hell haven’t seen it in the MSM!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I can’t speak about what the Egyptian experience should be, because I’m operating under a rather old constitution. The United States, in comparison to Egypt, is a very new nation, and yet we have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You should certainly be aided by all the constitution-writing that has gone one since the end of World War II. I would not look to the US constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, had an independent judiciary… It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done. Much more recent than the US constitution – Canada has a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It dates from 1982. You would almost certainly look at the European Convention on Human Rights. Yes, why not take advantage of what there is elsewhere in the world?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, open disdain for our Constitution and this from a Justice of the Supreme Court! And do not think for one moment that this President, most on the left and more than a few on the right do not agree with this! They are in fact marching lockstep with her in their open disdain for our founding principles. And it is “We the People” that pay the price for their and for that matter our own follies! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, its time for a Moron Alert! Our Constitution is the law of this land! It is not something to be ignored or trampled on as many feel. it is not there for a Supreme Court justice to openly dismiss! It is not there for a President to ignore and in effect say it does not apply to him as this bozo in office does every day! And it is certainly not a document that anyone in this country, in power or not has the right to dismiss as Justice Ginsburg does in her statements. It is the Law of the Land!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How dare her! Who in the hell does she think she is to ignore the document and the laws of this land, something she as well as every office holder in D.C (and don't even get me started on the corrupt lost cause that runs the Justice Department or his boss for that matter) are sworn to uphold?! And where is the outcry from the co-opted media. Good God! How can so many people have their heads so far up you know where and ignore the obvious?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-23477724663811131?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/23477724663811131/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2012/02/open-disdain-for-our-constitution-from.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/23477724663811131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/23477724663811131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2012/02/open-disdain-for-our-constitution-from.html' title='OPen Disdain For Our Constitution!

Looking at it I realized I should in fact include this as to my arguments and feeling as to how far this country has fallen and why. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Back on my soapbox here folks sorry again about the length, but this has to be said over and over!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we argue about racism, the MSM and so forth, I would like to return to something much more important and that is the complete lack of the “informed voter” or as I like to call it, “The Mind Dead Electorate”. As I have said more than once, the real problem in this country is in fact the electorate. When all is said and done, it is “We the People” who are responsible. As I said in my last post and many times before, I do not completely blame our woeful excuse for a President. The facts about this moron were there for all to see if they had wished to look for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Unfortunately, seeing the importance of an educated and informed electorate is not even deemed important by our educational system, much less the political establishment, we are now faced with the fact that our great country is on a precipice and whether folks like to hear it or not, we are in fact facing third world Socialist doom. That is fact, pure and simple!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Party affiliation doesn’t matter. One only has to look at our boy Romney as an example. How one can remotely call him a conservative is beyond me. Yet the establishment entrenched Republicans and their shills are pushing this bozo,his policies and record. WHY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The facts are evident for all to see. More than half the electorate that is eligible to vote doesn’t. Yet, we have an administration that is willing to allow illegals and ineligibles to vote. Of those that do vote, they vote for the person that promises the world. They vote with their hands out. They vote for anything for which they do not have to be responsible for. The entitlement society is real and it is fostered by the entrenched scum politicians of both parties, but especially the left. I know there are folks that don’t like it when one calls a politician scum or whatever, but fact is fact. As power is all that matters, the scum in D.C. as well as the states have done everything possible to Dumb Down the American public, both in the schools and in day to day life. And a co-opted Mass Media has willfully put out the most vile propaganda to the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When all is said and done, the blatant racism being fostered by the left (and I am sick and tired of the “code word” argument from those clowns!), the open hostility to basic American principles and the hard core leftist Socialist propaganda that is promoting open class warfare is more than I can stand. And let’s not forget the open hostility towards not only the Jews (its blatant and hostile if one just looks) but to all religions other than Islam, where it is at the point if one says “Radical Islamic Terrorist” as in the case of the Fort Hood shooter for example, it is a hate crime. Of course, this administration, its corrupt justice department and others won’t even say the word terrorist. After all, that would be the truth and that is certainly something that is not allowed in the cesspool known as Government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth is power and it is there for one to find, but one has to look for it. As it is well known that there are far to many people who do not even know of or understand our history and that same history is being rewritten and bastardized by the leftist scum educating our children,it is up to the people to look past the lies and deceit and make the informed choice when going to the polls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I lifted the following from the Political Pistachio site, but it hits the nail on the head. How many people today can even tell you about one of our greatest founding fathers? Just wondering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Madison and the Importance of Informed Voters:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If it be asked what is to restrain the House of Representatives from making legal discriminations in favor of themselves and a particular class of the society? I answer, the genius of the whole system, the nature of just and constitutional laws, and above all the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America, a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it.” –James Madison, Federalist No. 57, 1788&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With those words, I rest my case. This country is in grave danger! It is up to the voter, "We the People" to rescue us from the scrap heap of history, something we are diving headlong into! As I said earlier. My beliefs come from education, an ability to look at and analyze all facets of a subject, and hopefully make an informed decision. That is my responsibility as a voter! It is a sacred right to vote and it is sad to realize that the vast majority doesn’t give a damn for anything other than what is in it for them as long as they do not have to earn it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Yes, it is a sad commentary of the state of this country, but it is fact! And the entrench clowns in office, especially the Anti-American idealist (that is my opinion!) President along with “We the People” are hastening our demise! Someone wake up before it is to late! We don’t have a lot more time left!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-5423148697497353393?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/5423148697497353393/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2012/02/we-people-do-we-even-care-anymore.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/5423148697497353393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/5423148697497353393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2012/02/we-people-do-we-even-care-anymore.html' title='&quot;We The People&quot; Do We Even Care Anymore?'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-6789491372862052074</id><published>2012-01-30T12:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-30T12:28:56.539-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Traitor To Our Basic Ideals</title><content type='html'>As we all know, I can get on my high horse at times when it comes to this failure of a President and both political parties in general. And of course, I haven’t been shy as to my disdain for the “mind dead” electorate and what they along with the pathetic so called journalists of the MSM had wrought unto this country. Well, after the talk down to the public called the State of the Union speech, one can guess I was ready to blow, especially with the MSM and others lauding President Bozo. And don’t even get me started on the sad spectacle of the entrenched establishment Republicans and their horrible “let’s destroy the party” attitude as to their campaigning. As such, two items caught my eye which tie in with the following tirade. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, was the First Lady’s comments on an interview. First Lady Michelle Obama: “I guess it’s more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here and a strong woman. But that’s been an image that people have tried to paint of me since the day Barack announced. That I’m some angry black woman.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have railed on in the past how I feel this President, his party and followers are race baiters of the highest degree, this comment did not surprise me. However, I cannot remember ever seeing anything accusing or pointing to Mrs. Obama as “an angry black woman” I swear, I’ve looked, but haven’t found it yet. So as such just another piece of proof as to the racial bias shown by this administration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second piece was about Gov. Brewer of Arizona and her “finger waggling” as it’s being called or in most cases her so called lack of respect for someone who certainly doesn’t deserve it, office be damned. This of course is not the first time the petulant little boy in the White house has talked down to someone who is in disagreement with his Anti-American leftist policies. From various news sources:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ It was a tense moment on the tarmac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama, alighting from the stairs of Air Force One in Phoenix this afternoon, was greeted by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who handed him an envelope and the two exchanged what appeared to be some heated sentiments. At one point, she pointed her finger at him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked afterward what happened, Brewer said, “He was a little disturbed about my book, Scorpions for Breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt,” she said, according to a pool report. “He didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially. I said I was sorry he felt that way but I didn’t get my sentence finished. Anyway, we’re glad he’s here. I’ll regroup.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It was though President Obama thought he could lecture me, and I would learn at his knee,” the governor wrote, calling his tone “patronizing.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“He thinks he can humor me and then get rid of me,” Brewer wrote.&lt;br /&gt; “But it was a pretty one-sided conversation,” Brewer said. “He was, I believe, condescending. And he was lecturing me about what we were going to do and how we were going to do it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one of the sites I follow, Flopping Aces, I wrote the following. Of course I was taken to task for my references to dictators, etc. in my defense of Gov. Brewer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Just a reminder here. He is the President. HE IS NOT A KING! As Gov. Brewer said, she’ll respect the office, but she sure as hell does not have to respect the man, especially when the man is someone who seems to feel he is a king. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This President has more than once shown his disdain for the groveling masses, preferring to threaten rather than govern. After listening to his Bull S… session the other night, the only thing I can see is he now feels he is in fact the dictator he wants to be. What I saw harkens back to the days of Hitler, Stalin or whatever dictator you care to mention. For you libbies out there, I’m not referring to him as a murdering scum as Hitler was. However since most libbies refuse to even learn history, Hitler was a great orator who managed to fool the public with his lies while amassing power. when confronted, he pulled exactly what President Bozo did with Gov. Brewer. He talked down to, threatened, etc. and always took umbrage to anything bad written or said about him. That is historical fact! Of course, the leftists and for that matter the establishment RINO scum don’t bother to learn from the facts. Only power counts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this country we have the right to stand up to and speak out against those who would want to destroy our way of life. Gov. Brewer did this, first in her book and then face to face with the President. A citizen of the United States stood her ground to a wanna be tin horn dictator! Good for her. How sad that so many in this country refuse to stand for their basic rights!”&lt;br /&gt;Of course, this brought a myriad of responses, one of which when I looked back through the thread &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my original answer to a commenter who asked me if I thought the President was being “uppity” below, I noted the President was not “uppity” In rereading the thread, it occurred to me that there was a racial element put in there by the commenter which I somehow missed and I just wanted to clarify myself. Having said that, once again, the race card is thrown as it is being thrown in the class warfare rhetoric coming from our President and his minions and this too is traitorous in my view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No, I don’t think he is uppity. I feel he is such an embarrassment to the office and the country that I could not remotely relate to someone who I feel is against everything I and our founding fathers hold dear! Practicing one’s right to Freedom of Speech and expression takes a lot of guts in this PC age of idiocy, especially considering one now becomes an enemy of the state in doing so! Gov. Brewer only did that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The President is nothing except a man. He is the employee of every taxpaying citizen here in the U.S. We the People are his bosses. Personally, I have no use for arrogant elitist know it alls who tell me how to live my life. However I have absolutely no tolerance for people who i feel are traitors to our country and our way of life. In my lifetime of sixty years, I have seen many morons who once in office have turned against our founding principles and in effect became corrupt with the power, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And followers of this site also know I rail against the establishment Republicans as well as the Leftist democrats and their Marxist/Socialist/Muslim loving leader. They are every bit as bad as this scumball is. but never in my life have I seen any President so openly hostile to this country and our ideals! When a man states as he did the other day here in Vegas that the individual cannot do it alone but in fact government must do it (I’m paraphrasing here) then something is terribly wrong if “We the People” in fact believe that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man in my estimation is a traitor to this country and its ideals! Uppity? NO! This man, his and his wife’s policies and beliefs as well as the scum political circus in D.C. is a cancer that is quickly destroying this great country of ours. I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit by and be quiet as so many are wont to do in this case for fear of jobs or whatever. Gov. Brewer stood her ground as she is allowed to do in this country! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice I allude to Hitler and other dictators in my first comment. That my friend is not my believing he is “uppity”. That is the cold hard fact that the brain dead electorate, choosing to believe the lies and false promises (the hands out mentality as I call it) rather that take responsibility for their own actions, an electorate that not only refuses to take their most sacred right, the right to vote seriously is now facing. “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another commenter took me to task for among other things calling the President a scumball as well as showing him disrespect. The commenter is a Marine who served honorably and of course I respect his right to his opinion, much more so that some others. I answered him as follows when he accused me of in effect “being brave on the internet”. He was also upset I called Obama a traitor, something I truly believe to be true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As a born Chicago boy, I will say one thing that is fact! If President Obama were here in front of me, I would call him a traitor to his face. While I’ve always admired you for your service to our country, you do make me wonder sometimes. I call it as I see it (and yes, I can get quite crass, but unlike the politically correct, I don’t really care about name calling. That’s how I feel about him and most politicians and that’s what I call him) and would not be the least bit cowered in letting him know exactly what I feel. And don’t forget one other thing. The internet is in many ways the only way to get the truth out now. You sure as hell won’t get it from the MSM or the lying sacks of you know what we call politicians, headed as usual by our so called President. Respect the office? Yes. Respect the man in it? No? As I said, we are his bosses. He is not a king!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Read the sentence in my first response, especially the last part, “who I feel is against everything I and our founding fathers hold dear!” A traitor can come in many guises. In this case, the people, refusing to take their sacred duty as citizens and voters seriously and/or just being too greedy, lazy or stupid and believing the lies elected a person into office who is the personification of everything that is abhorrent to true Americans. His race baiting, his Marxist/Socialist policies, his utter disdain for the individual and so on. Everything he does in my view is Anti-American. We are a country founded on a set of ideals, ideals that made us the greatest country to ever exist, yet we have people defending this guy, his policies and the leftist agenda. Yet everything this guy espouses is in stark contrast to our founding principles. That in my view makes him a traitor!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This particular commenter than came back in effect accusing me of sitting on my butt and only commenting on the ”internet”:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I take a little umbrage in the “get up and do something” comment. I practice what I preach. I vote after I have fully educated myself as to the pros and cons of any candidate. As such, I would if warranted vote for someone of any party that I felt could do the job correctly. I speak out, not only on the internet. As for blaming the MSM, I am not putting the blame squarely on them. There are so many other causes of the voter stupidity out there such as the “Dumbing down of our schools” (I believe the late Senator Moynihan coined that phrase? And my gosh, he was a Democrat!) , the ultra left causes being pushed by the D.C. entrenched morons (for which I have always blamed both parties) and so on. The fact is that the MSM is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the left, pure and simple.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While I point out how I feel as to the guy in the White House (and please understand. I realize the President is the C in C and as an ex Marine you hold to that credo and should). The service didn’t want me although I tried to enlist so I don’t quite get into the C in C mode (My lottery number was 3 in 1968, but both my draft and when trying to enlist physical disqualified me). As such, I find it hard to respect this man as a leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said earlier, “ In this case, the people, refusing to take their sacred duty as citizens and voters seriously and/or just being too greedy, lazy or stupid and believing the lies elected a person into office who is the personification of everything that is abhorrent to true Americans” The information was out there. The MSM, PACs or whatever openly lied or hid those facts. The MSM in particular did not do its job! And I’m not talking about (nor never have) the birther issue. For whatever reason, the powers that be refused to vet this guy properly. However, in turn the electorate as I have said until I’m blue in the face did not take their jobs as citizens seriously enough and have not for years to actually elect a person who was suitable for the job. False promises, lies and entitlement mentality took the place of an educated electorate. And that is also fact. Why is it the folks on the left promote class warfare and entitlement mentality as well as mandate school curriculum that do not teach our basic ideals? Even when my kids were in school we saw (especially at USF with my 2 oldest girls) the open leftist curriculum being pushed so as such, I speak from experience. Seeing what the schools are teaching now to my grand kids I find the situation far worse. Luckily, we have instilled in our kids what it is to be a true American, something that schools do not teach anymore! They are good at rewriting history though. My point is in my eyes they are purposely creating a mind dead electorate with the sole purpose of keeping their power. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the information to make a reasoned decision out there? YES! But it certainly is not reflected in the MSM or the 2 major political parties. That again is fact. You fought for among other things, our right to vote. Yet there are so many who actually advocate withholding the information needed to make an informed decision. And when people such as myself and others, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST 3 YEARS WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION, SPEAK OUT, we become enemies of the state as I noted before. This President has openly advocated “telling on your neighbor” or “reporting Anti-Obama/Democrat speech or writing. This President has splintered this country, racially and philosophically. His vision of America is one that as we can see in Europe and every failed Socialist country is completely against our way of life. His embrace of the Radical Muslim agenda (Bin-Laden aside) is one that is leading us into a Third World War. And let’s not forget how he throws our allies under the bus.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This is how I feel. I have come to the conclusion I have about this guy because I know how to read and look at everything I can get my hands on. I then make an informed decision based on my beliefs and knowledge of any subject or candidate. Am I perfect? No! Can I be wrong and change my mind? Yes! Have I seen anything yet to change my mind as to what I feel is a cancer that has permeated not only the White House but government in general? No!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and so many others fought for my right to state my opinion and I appreciate that deeply. But as I said earlier, I have no tolerance for elitist tin horn wanna be dictators, especially those of a hard left Marxist/Socialist such as I feel this President is. We were a country of doers, yet now we have a President that in effect bad mouths success. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this really what you and so many others fought for? I sincerely hope not. I hold service men and women in high esteem as I have said before on this site. My father and two step-fathers gave of themselves far more than I can maybe ever hope to understand. I truly believe they are rolling in their graves right now seeing what is transpiring in this nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry to be long winded her, but I really want everyone to understand where I’m coming from on this. And please note once again. Yes, I call Obama a traitor to this country, but I do not entirely blame him. I blame as I’ve said more than once a “mind dead electorate” that has either forgotten or in many cases has not been taught the basic principles this country was founded on. That is my belief. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave you with a quote I lifted off the Political Pistachio site: look at what comes out of the mouths of our so called leaders then tell me with an straight face that this man in his policies is not a traitor to our country’s ideals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexis de Tocqueville&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-6789491372862052074?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/6789491372862052074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2012/01/traitor-to-our-basic-ideals.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6789491372862052074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6789491372862052074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2012/01/traitor-to-our-basic-ideals.html' title='A Traitor To Our Basic Ideals'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-6142069503038297851</id><published>2012-01-01T09:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T10:06:37.140-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy New Year! Optimistic? We Should Be!</title><content type='html'>I want to start out today by wishing everyone a safe and prosperous Happy New Year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed a headline yesterday noting Americans were greeting the New Year with “optimism”! As I read that story. I asked myself: What the hell is there to be optimistic about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost, there are our friends, the Radical Muslims whose sole intent, under the guise of religion, is death to Jews, and all in the Western world who cling to the ideals as espoused by our founding fathers. One must make no mistake of this. Between the radical Muslim terrorists and enablers such as “Mr. We Will Talk To Them” Obama and other Chamberlain like morons, the entire Mideast is heading for an all out war. Not surprising when we have leaders and hate mongers such as we do here who despise Israel beyond rationality!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As our President has openly professed in his own words (read his book!)siding with the Muslims if needed, the end result is clear. Refusal to call terrorists terrorists, the fiasco still going on as to the Ft. Hood terrorist and apologizing repeatedly for “America’s” “misunderstanding”(what a joke) of the Muslim world (and for that matter, basically standing with the scum of the U.N. and blaming us for everything) leaves little room for hope on the Mideast front. And heaven help poor Israel. This President and his moronic advisers (and let’s not forget that great Anti-Israeli Ron Paul) are leading the charge for his Muslim brothers. BTW: Let’s also not forget the blown opportunities and in turn the embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Taliban (America at this moment is “negotiating” with these clowns).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One also must note the creeping onset of apparent Sharia compliance as well as censorship of all free speech when speaking the truth as to the Radical Muslim s. Not much to hope for if free speech is the victim, and in many cases it is!  The war that is being waged in the Mideast and for that matter in Socialist Europe is only the beginning. We are next!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And it is coming here what with Political Correctness and not! The truth about the Muslim religion if one chooses to believe the Radical Agenda and for that matter the words of the Koran is a message of hate, intolerance, despite of women and a complete hatred of Western Ideals including Freedom of Speech and Religion! One only has to look not only at places like Dearborn, Michigan, but listen to the shameless idiots including our Muslim leaning President who steadfastly refuse to call a spade a spade! They are not our enemies. They are not terrorists. It's always alleged with them. Call the Radical Muslim terrorists, the Mullahs or the religion itself what it is from their own words and you are branded either a racist or intolerant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Here in the states even now, one can be charged with a hate crime for daring to speak the truth about this bastardized religion (by bastardized, I mean bent to conform with the hateful views of the mullahs and their indoctrination of the uneducated Muslim masses). THAT IS THE TRUTH! Speak it and you will be persecuted, whether it is to call the assassin at Ft. Hood a radical Muslim or for that matter criticize the clown President and his apparent Muslim leanings!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How’s this for wondering about “optimism”? We have a President who openly promotes class warfare and racism! He brands the people who succeed as robber barons1 He sees any gains earned by hard working people as illicit and belonging to the state! Of course in his words, it’s “to all the people”. Moron alert! It’s the state! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has an Attorney General who refuses to prosecute a blatant racist act as to the Black Panther Voting scandal, one who is covering up a terrible episode as to the Fast and Furious gun running episode among others yet one who also has the temerity to speak out on “gun deaths and crime being up and he will do all he can to take our guns away! Hypocrisy at its highest. The man and his puppet master fan the seeds of racism and class warfare then are shocked, absolutely shocked when crime goes up! Talk about the gang that couldn’t shoot straight! Yep. Lots of optimism when it comes to this justice department! Case in point:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Cal Thomas:&lt;br /&gt;“Is there, or should there ever be, a point when a state is no longer penalized for its discriminatory past?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not according to the Department of Justice, which last Friday rejected a South Carolina law that would have required voters show a valid photo ID before casting their ballots.&lt;br /&gt;Justice says the law discriminates against minorities. The Obama administration said, “South Carolina’s law didn’t meet the burden under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlawed discriminatory practices preventing blacks from voting.” Why South Carolina? Because, the Justice Department contends, it’s tasked with approving voting changes in states that have failed in the past to protect the rights of blacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are they serious?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This comes from a Twitter posting by cutiepi2u, a CA Conservative:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QUOTE OF THE DAY: Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that will require every citizen 2 prove they are insured but not 2 prove they are a citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man, what a dead on quote. As this President and his lackeys push this country into third world poverty status, they openly pit Americans against each other as well as enabling the Illegal Aliens that have over run this country to amass even more power. Law abiding citizens be damned, all of you! We’re in deep do do when only Illegals have rights and the citizens of our country are in fact the criminal element as deemed by this administration and Prince Harry and his clowns in the senate (let’s not forget Princess Lisa and the rest of the RINO scumbags either).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I saw today a statement by the administration wherein he will rather than run on his pathetic record, he will in fact run against Congress for doing nothing! While there can be a grain of truth in that, one can be sure the co-opted media will bastardize that into the “Republicans stopped everything”! Fine and dandy, but not much hope for optimism there, is it? After all, his Democratic Senate has still refused to do their job as per the laws of this land and even vote on a budget for over nine hundred days! That’s 3 years if inaction, yet it’s the other side’s fault! His stance is not even hypocrisy for god’s sake! Moron Alert! The man and his minions are bald faced liars who do not give one damn about the American people!  Power! That’s what it is about! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was also stated he would resort exclusively to Executive Orders. Bypassing Congress and for that matter the Constitutional law of that land (something for which it has been proven he has utter disdain for) if needed. Ah yes! King Barak and Queen Michelle will in fact force the Marxist Socialist, Muslim agenda on us all, laws be damned! Even as he peaks of income redistribution, vilifying the rich and cutting downs the bedrock principles of this country,  he projects an air of royalty (at least that’s what he and his propaganda industry think) when in fact he is destroying the very fabric of this nation! Certainly something to be optimistic about, right? NOT! Read the words below then watch the actions of this scum bag President (And for those of you who read this who don’t like me calling him that, fact is fact! Free speech and my perception. You can all bite me!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; BTW: I highly recommend Douglas Gibbs and his Political Pistachio blog. He always has pertinent up to date views as well as reminding one constantly of what this country is really about!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Douglas Gibbs at Political Pistachio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No Aristocracy in America "As our president bears no resemblance to a king so we shall see the Senate has no similitude to nobles. First, not being hereditary, their collective knowledge, wisdom, and virtue are not precarious. For by these qualities alone are they to obtain their offices, and they will have none of the peculiar qualities and vices of those men who possess power merely because their father held it before them." --Tench Coxe, An American Citizen, No. 2, 1787 "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on here for hours, but I think you all have the drift of this now. Between the establishment Republican scum that is actively tearing apart their own party so they can keep power and perks to the Democrats who apparently have absolutely no idea what this country is anymore! Bring on the Euro model seems to be their rant. Entitlements mean reelection and more perks for us! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, that is not my intent! I for one am optimistic for many reasons. First, let me comment on the Tim Tebow garbage. I bring him up a as an example optimism as to our future and its leaders! The MSM, sportswriters and most of the Anti-God brigade are openly attacking a fine young man (and yes, his throwing mechanics suck!)!  He along with a young man named Josh Ripley epitomize what is great about this country of ours! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A month or so ago, I came across a great story about a young man named Josh Ripley ( I posted on this great young man a while back), a high school athlete who, strong in his faith helped a hurt competitor during a cross country meet, throwing away his chance at winning a championship or glory and instead showing the leadership that faith in one’s God can deliver. In that post, I wrote the following about this great young man. In an comment on a Tebow story on the Flopping Aces site, I changed the name from what I had written about Josh to Tim whom it must be noted gives so much of himself to his fellow man also!). Both of these give young men. while proudly professing their faith, live by it! Both show leadership! Both give of themselves. One is rich and famous, the other a high school athlete. Yet both are the kind of men I am happy that my kids, grandkids and I look up to! As such, the folks who insist in belittling Tim and others should get their heads out of their collective behinds! How I wish the scum in Washington from our so called President to the rest of the establishment scum we call leaders could just once show the qualities of Tim Tebow or Josh Ripley!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In this young man, we see what not only a true leader is, not only what a hero is, but in fact we see the very essence of what makes real Americans what they are. Here we have a young man, who gives of himself for his fellow man. He prays to his God, adhering to his faith as all good men do. His humanity takes over and he casts aside his own aspirations. In every quality, this young man shows us what a man is and from my point of view, he is thousands of times the man (or woman as I am speaking of character here) our President, so many elected officials and the members of the MSM can ever hope to be. Character, something of which there is a complete lack of in people who we stupidly call leaders and advisers! Yes Virginia, there is hope for optimism! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a great site called  “The New Jacksonian Blog” written by a gentleman named Michael Kaplan. He is historian by profession and teaches American history at Farmingdale State College, SUNY. His last post was “Winston Churchill on the Meaning of Civilization “.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I commented as follows because Churchill’s stirring words not only capture the American Ideal, but in fact point to the optimism that in fact radiates from that ideal!:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What a fabulous speech that was! It's rather amazing in some ways that Churchill and Thatcher, Brits to boot epitomized what is the "American Ideal"! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who is willing to actually learn from history should not only be aware of the dangers from appeasers like our current president, but also should realize one must learn from history and not make the same mistakes. The hatred, Anti-Semitism, racial and class warfare now being practiced by this administration is evidence of as you state above an elitist mind set that is destroying our country from within, just as Khrushchev said would happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sometimes wonder if there is a leader left with the stature of a Reagan, Churchill or whatever and if so, would he or she really want to subject themselves to the character assassination tactics of the co-opted media and the left. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we have a President who spouts out how he has done more for Israel than any other President (I"m just using this as one example of lack of leadership and loyalty) while openly throwing them under the bus and embracing the Muslim Radicals, one can only wonder where the real leaders are at this time and when they will come out and say enough is enough!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always Michael my thanks once again for a great article, in this case, a reaffirmation of not only the greatness of Mr. Churchill, but the American ideal in spades!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is Churchill’s speech which I lifted from Michael"s sight LOL! Seriously, these are not just words! This is in fact the American Ideal in spades! This is what the lefties from our President on down do not want you to hear! Western Civilization is in great peril! Yet every time it gets to the edge, great men and women have fought back. I mention Tim Tebow and Josh Ripley above as evidence of the leadership needed, but there are many others for sure. I am optimistic our future is in fact going to be ok as long as our Freedom of Speech and in turn the basic liberties are not stomped on any more than they have been! Faith in God and one’s country is not a sin as the President and the MSM would want us to believe! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winston S. Churchill, “Civilization,” Chancellor’s Address, University of Bristol, July 2, 1938&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are few words which are used more loosely than the word “Civilization.” What does it mean? It means a society based upon the opinion of civilians. It means that violence, the rule of warriors and despotic chiefs, the conditions of camps and warfare, of riot and tyranny, give place to parliaments where laws are made, and independent courts of justice in which over long periods those laws are maintained. That is Civilization—and in its soil grow continually freedom, comfort and culture. When Civilization reigns, in any country, a wider and less harassed life is afforded to the masses of the people. The traditions of the past are cherished, and the inheritance bequeathed to us by former wise or valiant men becomes a rich estate to be enjoyed and used by all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The central principle of Civilization is the subordination of the ruling authority to the settled customs of the people and to their will as expressed through the Constitution. In this Island we have today achieved in a high degree the blessings of Civilization. There is freedom: there is law; there is love of country; there is a great measure of good will between classes: there is a widening prosperity. There are unmeasured opportunities of correcting abuses and making further progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this very week we have seen a Prime Minister at the head of a large and loyal majority bow with good grace to the customs of Parliament, and we have heard Socialist Members speaking with pride of the precedents of the early seventeenth century, and the principles of the Petition of Right. (Editor’s Note: A reference to the Report of the Committee of Privileges which inquired into the dispute between Mr. Hore-Belisha and Mr. Duncan Sandys.) In this respect for law and sense of continuity lies one of the glories of England. And more than that, there also lies in it an important part of her strength and safety. Such episodes are astonishing, but also educative, to countries where dictatorships prevail, and where no one dares to raise his hand against arbitrary power. They stir and cheer the minds of men in many lands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have, however, to face the problem of the turbulent, formidable world outside our shores. Why should not the same principles which have shaped the free, ordered, tolerant Civilization of the British Isles and British Empire be found serviceable in the organization of this anxious world? Why should not nations link themselves together in a larger system and establish a rule of law for the benefit of all? That surely is the supreme hope by which we should be inspired and the goal towards which we should march with resolute step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is vain to imagine that the mere perception or declaration of right principles, whether in one country or in many countries, will be of any value unless they are supported by those qualities of civic virtue and manly courage—aye, and by those instruments and agencies of force and science which in the last resort must be the defense of right and reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Civilization will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, then, we see the task which should command the exertions of the rising generation which tills this spacious hall, and which may bring to the life of Britain the surge of a new impulse towards the organization of world peace, and across the gulf of these eventful years prepare and bring nearer the Brotherhood of Man.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-6142069503038297851?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/6142069503038297851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-year-optomistc-we-should-be.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6142069503038297851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6142069503038297851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-year-optomistc-we-should-be.html' title='Happy New Year!

One should make no mistake of this fact. Obama and the Democratic Party have in fact tied themselves in with and with the docile support of their propaganda industry the MSM openly supported the movement which is rife with hatred of America, Jews and our ideals in general. Now, I want to focus on the racial aspect of this hate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the left (and unfortunately sometimes the right) do not have a leg to stand on, when fact trumps every argument they have, their only recourse is and has been personal attacks and hate! Beware the wounded tiger. It will do anything to survive. Racial hate, class warfare, open bald faced lies anything is fair game to them in their attempt to keep power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quotes below, as in my last post are just an extreme few yet easily show thw racial hate being put forward by not only the left and the MSM, but so called black leaders, all of whom either in their silnce or their words support the views below!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Harvard professor Randall Kennedy claimed “Black people know that if Herman Cain had his way, their lives would be diminished.” Former Time reporter Jack E. White added “Herman Cain tells them what they want to hear about blacks, and in turn, they embrace him and say, see, that proves we aren't racist. He's even willing to be a minstrel for them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“MSNBC Democratic strategist Karen Finney: Very seriously, this is a little harsh but, one of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy, I think he giving that base a free pass.&lt;br /&gt;MSNBC Host Martin Bashir:  Wow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finney: And I think they like him because they think he’s a black man who knows his place. I know that’s harsh, but that’s how it sure seems to me.”&lt;br /&gt;Bashir: Well, thank you for spelling that out.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I think when [members of the Tea Party] can vote for a Herman Cain and hear him say the things that he says they feel like, ‘Well, you know, I can, I support this guy and…so it shows that I’m not racist and I’m supportive,’” Cummings told host David Gregory.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ROGER SIMON, POLITICO: Can I just say one thing about the birther issue? It's not a fun issue to poke somebody on. It is more than a little bit racist. It grew, not everyone who believes it is a racist, but it grew out of the belief that a black man could not be legitimately elected to the President of the United States. Now why would Perry use that in the primaries instead of saving it for the general when he's running against President Obama? Well, it's because being extreme perhaps, and, a little bit racist perhaps, gives you good bona fides in a Republican primary. It shows them you're on the same side as they are”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leonard Pitts:&lt;br /&gt;“So why don’t blacks vote Republican? The answer is simple. Black people are not crazy. Being not crazy, they understand a simple truth about conservatives: They have never stood with, or up for, black people. Never.”&lt;br /&gt;Forget modern controversies like mass incarceration. Social conservatives, then based largely in the Democratic Party of the early to mid 20th century, opposed the Voting Rights Act. They opposed the Civil Rights Act. They opposed school integration. They opposed the Montgomery Bus Boycott. They opposed a law to crack down on lynching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the people for whom African Americans are now supposed to vote? To make the argument is to betray a stunning contempt for the intelligence — and memory — of black voters.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can go on and on in this vein, but to what purpose? There is now a Conservative Black man running for President. The left, unable to stand on their record has as always resorted to racial hate and class warfare. In this case, they have sent out their attack dogs on a decent man who preaches self-reliance and responsibility to get ahead as well as adherence to the principles that made this the greatest country ever! He is a steadfast supporter of Israel and our allies in general. And what do we get from the left? He is the wrong kind of black! As shown above, racial hatred is ok if spewed by the left or the administration. Heaven forbid that there would be such a thing as a conservative black man! Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Armstrong Williams and MLK’s niece who I apologize but her name escapes me are all vilified as traitors to their race!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cite below David Limbaugh who I think captures what I’m trying to say:&lt;br /&gt;“– On a related matter, Democrats have slandered genuine grassroots Tea Partiers as lawless, racist, AstroTurf scofflaws who are sometimes even domestic terrorists, despite the Tea Partiers’ peaceful, respectful behavior, no evidence of racism and almost no arrests at any of their events. Liberals pejoratively labeled them Tea Baggers and mocked their legitimate protests against the unprecedented spending of the Obama administration. But when leftist Occupy Wall Street protesters have truly been organized from above, have engaged in lawless and violent behavior leading to many arrests and have spewed anti-Semitic bile, liberals, including President Obama himself, have lionized them and identified with their cause.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While David is on the money here, it has to be mentioned that the president, the usual morons such as Jess, Al and the rest of the intellectually corrupt black leadership in general as well as the white apologists or as I would refer to them the leftist racist scum are completely silent as to the vicious hatred being directed at Herman Cain! We see the “he is the wrong kind of black” argument or the “ he is just a make me feel good black candidate so as I won’t feel guilty” argument. What the left and in turn the administration has not done is to refute the hate. They and their spokesmen are more than happy to slam any black man that has the balls to not only stand up to the policies are designed to keep them underfoot of the power lusting politicians (RINO scum politicians included as they are part of the problem) but in fact with their silence support and enable the political lynching that is taking place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was listening to MLK’s niece the other day who espouses everything that Herman Cain preaches, self responsibility, work ethic, color blindness, etc. Yet the left slams the man as an Uncle Tom! Where are you Jesse? Oops! Forgot. You’re to busy race baiting because Mr. Cain does not support your views!  Can’t have someone as President who would call you out on your racial hatred and biases could we? Same to you Al! And BTW: What about our friend Atty: General Holder? I’m assuming one shouldn’t be surprised that the man who openly supports the Black Panthers in their Voter Intimidation cases is extremely silent as to the racist hate being spewed at a fellow black American! Why? Oops! Can’t be racist hate if the person it’s aimed at is a conservative that stands against the administration can it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sept 29th, LL at Virtual Mirage Put out the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Herman Cain really Black? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberals seem very upset that black businessman and conservative, Herman Cain, is doing well in polling on the run-up to the Republican primary process. And why shouldn't they be? The black political stereotype is cracked beyond recognition by Cain's candidacy. Thieves-in-office such as Congressman Charlie Rangle (D-NY) and Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) tend to be the people that we think of when we think of the Black Congressional Caucus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberal actor and lesbian issues activist, Janeane Garofalo feels as if Herman Cain is simply not 'black enough' and is the Tea Party's boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He simply doesn't fit the model of shiftless political gadfly Barack Hussein Obama Jr., the Reverends Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson and other 'famous, but useless' activists and political organizers. Herman Cain has actually had jobs with massive responsibilities -- which from a liberal point of view, paints him as dangerous and suspicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From a 'progressive' point of view, Herman Cain simply can't be trusted. Clearly (following Garofalo's logic), any Republican who supports Cain's candidacy must be a racist. His big win in Florida's straw poll is clear proof that Republicans are racists according to the progressive icons. It's a good example of how they think and how they process information."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LL’s point is clear. He cites and has video of the morons who question the man’s blackness and in effect disqualify him in their minds because of his conservative beliefs. “He isn’t back enough”, a phrase we have heard many times in the past from the left whenever a black American has in effect butted heads with the establishment. Yet where is the outcry from the left? Why is the President, a black man, so silent when a fellow black man is racially slammed by his own party. He sure as hell couldn’t say enough when a black man was supposedly wrong by a police man doing his job. Boy, Mr. I’m Against Black Injustice was right there, wasn’t he as were Maxine, Al and all the others! Words and actions or lack of them speak louder than anything else. As such, the racial divide in this country is widening once again at an alarming rate and it is spearheaded by this President&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-3825637289845527?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/3825637289845527/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/11/hatred-racial-and-anti-semite-part-2.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3825637289845527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3825637289845527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/11/hatred-racial-and-anti-semite-part-2.html' title='Hatred Racial and Anti-Semite   Part 2'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-3736775293577133605</id><published>2011-11-12T09:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T07:37:09.426-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hatred Racial and Anti-Semite   Part 1</title><content type='html'>I have been in quite a rage lately as to the extreme hatred, be it racial, Anti-Semite or Anti-American period as evidenced by the Occupy (Communist) protests being put forward by the MSM, the left in general and in turn endorsed, be it silently or openly by this sad sack of an excuse for a President! I have two posts today. This first one, I want to focus on the overt Anti-Jewish, Pro-Radical Muslim agenda of this President and the open Anti-Semites who are fueling the exact same hate as the German High Command did in the forties as well as evidenced by the age old hatred for Jews by the Muslim world. The second post, I will focus on the open racial hate and hypocrisy (once again sadly enough) towards a Presidential candidate because in the end “he is the wrong kind of black!” as evidenced by the complete silence of the so called Black leadership including the Anti-American clown we call a President!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start here with a few things I have said in the past and hope I can tie it all together. Please note, there are thousands of examples every day as to the vile hatred now evident in the world society and here at home. Although I only cite a few, the evidence is damning provided one gets their heads out of their asses, open their minds and actually look at the facts! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it is an imperfect document, and I think it is a document that reflects some deep flaws.”&lt;br /&gt;– Barack Obama on the United States Constitution, (Sept. 2001).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I include the above and the next quote once again just to remind everyone once again that this President does not believe in the American ideal and in turn is more than willing to throw any ally under the bus, especially Israel to appease not only his loony leftist base but also his Muslim Brethren. His words and actions speak for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Barack Hussein Obama, The Audacity of Hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice once again the next statement, something that to this day the President or anyone in his administration have not and will not refute!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Zionists ...will lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House," Jesse Jackson, October 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the last few months we have seen open hate for Jews in general coming not only from the MSM and the usual culprits, but from a so called movement called “Occupy Wallstreet” or something idiotic like that around the country. The MSM reports these morons as being “just like the people of the Tea Party”. Being a member of the Tea Party myself, I for one do not remember ever seeing open overt hatred coming from the members of said party, be it for Jews, Blacks or hatred for America itself as we are charged. And I sure as hell have never seen open hatred for the President because he is black! Having said that, one of the really horrible manifestations of this Occupy movement is the open hostility towards Jews! The MSM steadfastly refuses to report it, but at every one of these so called protest there are signs everywhere in big letters extolling open hatred for the Jews! Yet all we see is so much more as the next few quotes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The United States would be "satisfied" should free elections in Egypt produce a victory for the Muslim Brotherhood, AFP reported Friday according to the US's special coordinator for transitions in the Middle East, William Taylor.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Michelle and I extend our greetings for a happy Eid al-Adha to Muslims worldwide and congratulate those performing Hajj. Thousands of Muslim Americans are among those who have joined one of the world’s largest and most diverse gatherings in making the pilgrimage to Mecca and nearby sites.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the propaganda industry and the White house consider us all as nothing more that dumb followers. As such they continue to feed us the lies and misleading statements because they know we will believe. As such, they will always try to say crap as “it was taken out of context” or such when caught with their pants down as follows from an “open mike” slip up, something by the way certain French and other reporters tried not to report!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The White House is declining to comment about an audio tape from last week's G20 summit that captured President Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy venting about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Sarkozy calls a "liar."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conversation overheard by reporters -- who evidently agreed not to report it because it was captured before the two leaders thought they were on-mic -- was picked up on English and French simultaneous translation headsets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to French website, Arret sur images, which analyzes media coverage of current affairs, Obama was heard asking Sarkozy to help persuade the Palestinians to stop their efforts to gain U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarkozy told Obama, "Netanyahu, I can't stand him. He's a liar."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama did not object to the characterization, and responded: "You are sick of him, but I have to work with him every day."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, something I said a while ago!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“President Obama has not stood for Israel or the Jewish people and has made it clear where the United States will stand when Palestine attempts to gain recognition of statehood by the United Nations. The President should focus on the real obstacle to security- the Palestinian leadership and its ultimate goal to eliminate Israel and the Jewish people."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet this President with his actions is every bit as despicable as the morons in Germany back in the 30’s. For all of the lefty apologists out there, you can take my comparing this to Hitler and blow it out your asses! The heads of the Muslim Brotherhood as well as so many other Radical Muslim factions are uttering almost word for word the exact Anti-Jewish tirades one heard prior to and during the Holocaust! There are Muslim leaders who openly condone this and the President in his actions and words sides with them! That is fact kids! President Obama with his demands is openly signing Israel’s death warrant! Yet, we have so many morons here at home in the Jewish community who back this guy! My God! What is it you’re drinking?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can the above really be true? Is the Jewish American population completely brain dead? Are they so completely screwed up in their heads that they believe for one moment that the atrocities we see aimed day after day at Israel will not be aimed at them once Israel is destroyed? Do they think for one moment a President that openly embraces a radical element bent on the elimination of the Jewish people will even try to stop the insurrection that is already making itself evident around the country? This same slow creeping cancer that is the Anti-Jewish sentiment is exactly the same as Nazi Germany. The similarities are there for all to see. Of course, I and others will be vilified for even having the audacity to compare our President to Hitler, yet he is allowing this to happen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Between his perceived hate for the Jews (again, this is how I see it!) and his Chaimberlain like stance of “I believe they’ll negotiate in good faith” belief in the radical Muslims who are now apparently running things (this clown really does believe in his heart radicals can be reasoned with. I’ve never figured this out, yet year after year morons think one can deal with hateful radicals. Can’t be done!) Israel, all Jews and if someone will finally get their heads out of their asses and realize, Western civilization as we know it are in deep danger!” (A caveat here. When I wrote the last paragraph or so, I was still moronic enough to think this clown was just in fact naïve and inept. I now state his hatred for Jews and Israel in general is pure open hostility!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is now openly acceptable to preach hatred of Jews and Israel in our society. It is as it was in Germany all those years ago! The haters are yelling and acting while the people stand and watch because “it doesn’t concern them! Then Pow, it’s to late! Moron Alert! This concerns everyone! The MSM, The silence of the President as to the hate marches and speech, the open hostile hatred of Obama towards Israel in general, these are all real! Good God! Why do people always repeat the same asinine mistakes? And why is it that hatred, especially of the Jews is at the forefront of these actions over and over?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people out there will argue with me and in fact say I am overwrought , paranoid or whatever when I voice my views on things like this. "You oppose Obama because he is black, not be cause of his policies and positions" is always the comeback from the brain dead morons. Yet the hatred from the left is real, be it for the Jews in general or for that matter what we are seeing as to Herman Cain. It doesn’t change the facts! The hate is real and our President in my view supports it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Below is from Pam Geller’s great sight, Atlas Shrugged. She posted an email she received which shows clearly the extent of the hate for Jews in this country and of course the world in general! This is the real world people! We are coming full circle just as we did in the forties in Germany! This isn't some fantasy world! This is real overt hate and it is tacitly endorsed by the Left and the President of the United States! (My apologies. there were some images included in the below, but I'm on a short time leash and can't seem to get them pasted in LOL!) I implore all to please go to Pamela's site, "ATLAS SHRUGGED" and see the hatred and vitriol this brave woman goes through every day as she does her best to not only present the truth as to hatred of the Jews, but in fact hatred towards all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Jew hatred that has been unleashed in the Obama era is monstrous. It is fashionable, and the uglier the better. I received this in my email last night. I don't post all the hate mail and death threats I get, but this one was ....packaged differently:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: Representing the People&lt;br /&gt;Subject: get involved Holocaust II&lt;br /&gt;Date: November 8, 2011 12:04:20 AM EST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holocaust II is here&lt;br /&gt;Right in the heart of America - join us for REMOVE ONE JEW DAY.

This president through his silence endorses it! This President, who's open disdain for the Prime Minister of Israel is there for all to see is every bit part of the overall problem as are the Radical Muslims and other Anti-Semites who now openly espouse the same hatred that was evident in the 40's and since the beginning of time! This open hatred is a cancer which is destroying the world in general and definitely this country and this President is one of the many malignant tumors which are eating away at the civility of this nation!

Of course, when I saw it, I realized immediately it would offend anyone out there who either doesn’t know how to think for themselves or feel that any reference  too  Hitler is reprehensible or hate. And of course, I was right. Oh my God! The media morons and in turn the Disney Corp. all got their panties in a wad! And Hank was out as the opening to MNF!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Well guess what folks! Seeing as I am a firm believer of shoving Political Correctness where the sun doesn’t shine, I’m here to say Mr. Williams was dead on! The Speaker and the President are basically on the same page as Hitler and BIBI would be. This is in the “why are we sitting here for a photo op when the world knows I’d run over your sorry ass in a moment given the chance” category of diplomatic bullshit. The analogy was a good one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, let’s not forget I for one have and will continue to use it for obvious reasons. I have compared this President and his administration to the Hitler regime more than once, just as I openly call this President a Soviet style leftist Marxist who is openly against every basic tenet this country was founded on. For this and standing up against his Anti-American policies, I and others are called racist or worse. Yet day after day his actions or lack of actions or words paints him and his wacko followers as the hateful scum they really are. Class warfare? You got it! Racial divide? You’ve got it! Anti -Semitism? You’ve got it. All courtesy of what one poster on Flopping Aces called the Divider in Chief!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s start with something I have posted in the past! I use this quote a lot, but I repeat it again! "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. We better not get out of the way or it will be too late" Lies, Lies and more Lies. This president truly believes we are stupid enough to swallow it all, just like Hitler did in the 30's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hitler, as Obama was a mesmerizing orator. They both were able to charm the pants off the populace. They both were freely elected, the voters choosing to ignore the reality in front of them, instead voting on lies and false promises. Now don't get me wrong here! I'm only using this comparison as to the election. For whatever reason, people are afraid to use the word Hitler. As for what happened after he came in power, I agree. That doesn't change the fact that he rode into power on the back of lies and deceit, just as this president did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above is fact, pure and simple. The man has lied from day one and his only purpose is to advance his Anti-American agenda. If he has to divide the country to do it, so be it. For example, we see evidence of this with his class warfare rhetoric. We see it with the racial divide that is widening under his leadership (or lack thereof).   With the flash mobs, the Black Panther voting scandal and most of all the closed lips of our racist in chief as to the open racism being shown by his party and the Media, one cannot be surprised that the Congressional Black Caucus would openly state what they are. It is now the accepted norm under this President that class warfare and racial hate is the way to go.!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below are various comments, all from the left! There are thousands of them of course, but I’ve just grabbed a few so as to illustrate the fact that this President with his silence on this matter is an open Racist and in fact is therefore using the exact same tactics as HITLER, a man who if one chooses to remember correctly used not only class warfare, but open racial hatred towards an entire race to achieve his goals!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gary Kukis on Flopping Aces:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Black Panther leader Shabazz: “Our message to the State Department, our message to the CIA, our message to Homeland Security, our message to the government today, is that your enemy is not our enemy.  Our enemies are right here in the United States of America…We have to fight. Gird up your loins college students. Gird up your loins young black man and young black woman, for the hour of war is at hand.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tavis Smiley: “That’s not hating on the President, it’s defending your own flanks. And whatever happened to that notion that to the victor goes the spoils? If anybody ought to be looked out for, it ought to be the persons who represent the most significant and the most loyal part of the base. That would be African-Americans.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Moore: “They are so filled with hate for Obama, it has so blinded them — their rage, their hate and for many of them, their racism — let’s just call it out for what it is. They can’t see that they’ve all hopped on the Titanic, which I call the Tea-tanic.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BILL MAHER: Big news, of course, in the Republican ranks. There is a new - I say this every week - but there is a new frontrunner:  Herman Cain, Herman Cain. The Republican establishment is freaking out because their token black guy is in the league now. They never expec-, it's like an episode of Star Trek where the black guy beams down to the planet and lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAHER: Let me just ask, before we move on, about Herman Cain because I don't hear any person who thinks that's going to last, even though he is the leader, except Herman Cain. I love Herman Cain keeps saying, "People who get on the Cain train don't leave." It sounds a little like, "Once you go black, you don't go back.&lt;br /&gt;"AUDIENCE LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does. I mean, it does. that's what, I think he should get a different slogan. But I don't know one person - do you? Is there anyone here? - who thinks Herman Cain in a month will not be down in the middle with Newt Gingrich and the rest of the also-rans?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAHER: A million to one, I will give you a million dollars. (AUDIENCE APPLAUSE) If you think that the Republicans are going to have an election with two black guys against each other, that they don't have a choice to vote for a white man in the general election, that will never happen.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This last comment below is just another example of not only politically correct bullshit, but how the liberals will spout racial hatred against a “person of race” and yet be considered reasonable. Let a conservative say what is below then batten down the hatches!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“On his show last night, Schultz said that Demint, whom Cain has mentioned as a potential running mate, repeated an “old southern racist term when talking about defeating President Obama during the health care debate.” Schultz’s example? He quoted Demint saying that “If we are able to stop Obama on this [health care law], it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.” For clarity, Schultz repeated the offending line, “It will break him.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. James Peterson, director of Africana studies at Lehigh University, explained that “break” is a racist verb, “a term that was used to destroy, mentally and physically, slaves.” Accordingly, the Demint line demonstrated “how dark some of these racial discourses can be in presidential politics.” Peterson said that Cain, by naming Demint as a possible VP pick, “gives those folks a pass” on racism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is more to the aspect of tell the big lie over and over. Let’s take a quick look at the “fast and Furious” gun running fiasco and the cover up and lies associated with it. Again, from various sources, but one thing stands out! There is video! Yet they, being the A.G. and it would appear the President himself continue to lie, all in the great Hitler tradition. One must note here. You could substitute Stalin or Kruschev or Lenin or many others for Hitler! This would include scum ball politicians here also. Wouldn’t matter!  Lies are lies and facts are facts! This President has and continues to lie to “We the People” in a manner that is consistent with all tyrants of history!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KING: Well, Congressman Cummings, let’s get to one of the questions here. Let’s first listen to the attorney general. He came before this committee back in May. Here’s what he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)&lt;br /&gt;ISSA: When did you first know about the program officially I believe called Fast and Furious? To the best of your knowledge, what date?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ERIC HOLDER, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL: I’m not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;(END VIDEO CLIP)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KING: He says over the last few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;That is on May 3, 2011. Listen to this interview the president of the United States, not the attorney general, the president of the United States, had with CNN Espanol back in March.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: There have been problems, you know. I heard on the news about this story that — Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn’t apprehend those who had sent it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eric Holder has — the attorney general has been very clear that he knew nothing about this. We had assigned an I.G., inspector general, to investigate it. (END VIDEO CLIP)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KING: It begs the question, how did the president know about this in March, and how did the president know the attorney general knew nothing about this in march, when the attorney general says in May he just learned about it a couple weeks ago?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From The Liberal Lie The Conservative Truth:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama has denied any knowledge of the plan until March of 2011 although the operation began in early 2009. Eric Holder denied any knowledge of it until April, 2011 just weeks before his first testimony before Congress during hearings on this ATF debacle that falls under the jurisdiction of Holder through the Justice Department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holder denied Obama having knowledge of this during his testimony yet Obama specifically said he knew as early as March in an interview with CNN after Holder's testimony. Yet, according to the video above both Obama and Holder are lying about their knowledge of the operation and the timing of their learning of it. The video above is a presser held by a Justice Department Deputy AG in MARCH 2009, when the operation started and in the video it is stated that the operation was begun by PRESIDENTIAL ORDER with the full knowledge and backing of HOLDER AND JUSTICE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as not to be a not trick pony on this, let’s remember that Hitler as I noted above wanted the eradication of the Jewish race! Our President, his party including the head of the DNC and others have allied themselves with the OWS movement as they are calling it! Again, one only has to open one’s eyes to see the Soviet style Anti-American/Capitalism slant being spewed by the rabble. Open hatred being shown by these people for not only our country, but our very ideals. We have seen elected officials, our so called President who just yesterday co-opted a memorial service to Dr. King to espouse his support for the idiocy going on and in effect align himself with the movement, and of course the usual far left scum be they politicians, Hollywood liberals and of course our boys Jesse, Al, Van Jones and the rest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Atlas Shrugs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Occupy Wall Street movement is supported by Communist Party USA, the Islamic Republic of Iran, communist dictators Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, as well as the AFL-CIO, SEIU, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Ayers, Barack Obama, and the Democrat Party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there is this from the WN(Nazi Party Website):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This issue is TAYLOR MADE for National Socialists, as well as WN who are serious about DOING SOMETHING – MORE – than shouting “racial slurs” and acting like “poster boys of hate” loons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all – JUST WHO – are the WALL STREET BANKERS? The vast majority are JEWS – and the others are SPIRITUAL JEW materialists, who would sell their own mother’s gold teeth for a PROFIT. And MORE and MORE people are AWARE of this truth, are not only NOT afraid to TALK ABOUT IT – they’re shouting it on WALL STREET!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I urgently URGE all of you to TAKE PART and JOIN IN when these protests hit your neck of the woods. Produce some flyers EXPLAINING the “JEW BANKER” influence – DON’T wear anything marking you as an “evil racist” – and GET OUT THERE and SPREAD the WORD! Put as a “contact point” on your literature, our www.ANP14.com address – it won’t immediately “scare off” some of these scaredy-cats for even looking at our FACTS – for FACTS they ARE! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These same people including the MSM, who have vilified the Tea Party at every juncture, who have lied and misrepresented everything about the Tea Party are now strangely silent as to the pure hatred being shown by their own people! The Communist Party and the Nazi party are openly supporting and participating in the protests around the country! Where is the condemnation from the MSM or the President?  What about it? The President has taken sides with the Nazi party! Where is the outcry? Look at the above! Hitler would be proud! That’s right Mr. President! I am comparing you with Adolf Hitler! With your own words and actions, you and your party have openly sided with the policies of one of the most hateful people in history! I am not saying you are going to go out and eradicate people! I am saying that your silence on open racial hatred as espoused by your party as well as your open support of the above gives me and others every right to equate your actions with his in many cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way: Hitler came into office at a time when Germany was on the ropes! He actually did some good things, especially as to the economy. Volkswagon comes to mind. None the less, early on it was recognized that he was the epitome of evil. The people chose to ignore the obvious until it was too late! Early on, if one had bothered to look under the covers, it was apparent this President was everything this country did not need. The electorate, happily with their heads up their asses chose to ignore what was in front of their noses. They listened to and accepted the big lie as put forward by the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, the MSM! &lt;br /&gt;For those who find it offensive that I and others use the Hitler analogy, I say one thing. Get over it! In this country we have the right to voice our opinions as we see fit! Yes, the politically correct would have it other ways, but the fact is we are free! As this President has chosen to follow an ideology that has failed time and time again, he must be outed as to what he is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A poster at Flopping Aces referred to him as the Divider-in-Chief. I personally think that is way too kind. This President, his leftist Socialist followers (again, don’t try feeding me any crap on this! One only has to look at what is going on with an open mind to see this) and the propaganda machine known as the MSM are a CANCER that is spreading unabated. Kruschev said they would bury us because we would destroy ourselves from within. Now, it’s out in the open! And leading the charge to total destruction of our country is this President! One’s actions or lack thereof speak volumes as to the truth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-2245532917700675335?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/2245532917700675335/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/10/analogys-versus-facts-hitler-obama-and.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/2245532917700675335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/2245532917700675335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/10/analogys-versus-facts-hitler-obama-and.html' title='Analogys Versus Facts / Hitler, Obama And More'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-9103396358040890916</id><published>2011-09-24T13:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-24T13:37:59.951-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Heroic Example Our Leaders and Americans in General Can Learn From</title><content type='html'>I really wanted and in fact was starting to go into one of my tirades as to the numerous scandals that are now a part of the Obama administration. Fast and Furious, the Solyndra green scandal and of course what I said was the worse off all of it, the overt open racism being shown by this administration, the propaganda industry known as the MSM as well as various elected so called leaders. As such, as I was doing some more research to bolster my contentions, it became more apparent than ever that in this president, there is not the first trace of leadership ability. This also of course trickles down to Holder, Reid, Waters and so many countless others who profess their “care” for this country and its people when in fact they despise everything we as a people stand for. Leadership is so much more than just lies and false promises, although you could not prove this by the actions of this president.  However, a person can be judged by who they associate with and their actions with the people they choose to aid them, Of course in this case, the record is clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My main problem with this is that I sense not only a hatred for everything we stand for as a country, but in point of fact I see an elitist press as well as our elected officials openly lying to the public. The hate of the racism being espoused by so many and being met with silence by the President is bone chilling. And the correct word is hate. Make no mistake about it.  I honestly believe there are two many folks who don’t  give a damn about not only this country, but their fellow man in general. It is and always has been all about them. Jesse, Sharpton,  Obama, left biased journalists, it doesn’t matter as long as they keep their so called power and the spotlight is on them. Real everyday Americans be damned. This is the real facts of life here now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as I was saying earlier, I was researching so I could write what I hoped would be a blistering but factual slam at the cancer I see that is part of what is destroying this country. Lies and open hatred and in my eyes a lack of basic humanity has gotten me almost to the point of despair as I feel we have for all practical purposes gone off the deep end as to our chances of survival as the United States of America. The inner enemy I felt has just about taken over. Then, I stumbled across the story below on a site I follow, All American Blogger. Just as one thinks our Great American Society is coming to an end as we know it, there occurs a miracle of goodwill, sportsmanship, faith or whatever one wants to call it to remind us that this is what we are as a people!  If only our leaders understood this!!! Josh Ripley, the young man described below does understand and is someone we should all aspire to be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hero: 16 Year Old Runner Carries Bloodied Competitor A Quarter Mile to Safety&lt;br /&gt;By Duane Lester at All American Blogger:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When 16 year old Josh Ripley came around a corner during a 5K cross country meet and saw a freshman leaning against a fence bleeding, he didn’t think about the race.&lt;br /&gt;He thought about getting him medical attention:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I had heard this scream, and as I rounded a corner, he came into view,” Josh said. “He was against a fence holding his ankle, and it was bleeding pretty badly.&lt;br /&gt;“I picked him up and ran with him in my arms. I asked if I could say a prayer for him, and he said that was fine. And I just tried to reassure him that everything would be OK.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was quite a sight when the two runners finally rounded into the view of their coaches. There was the 6-foot-5, 185 pound Josh, from Andover High School, cradling the 5-foot-5, 100 pound Mark, a freshman at Lakeville South H.S., in his arms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I am waiting for all my kids to go running by, and there is no Josh, no Josh,” his coach, Scott Clark, said. “I was wondering, ‘What was going on? Why was he so far back?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Then I see Josh. … He’s got the kid in his arms, like you would carry a youngster.” &lt;br /&gt;Josh dropped Mark off and then got back in the race. He was dead last, but passed 50 kids by the end of the race to finish 211th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turns out that the kid he helped needed some serious attention to that leg. He had been spiked and the wound required 20 stitches and a walking boot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I really feel I just did the right thing,” he said. “Any of my teammates would have done the same thing. It wasn’t an act of heroism. It was an act of kindness that I know I needed to accomplish.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most acts of heroism are acts of kindness. Well done, son. Well done.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this young man, we see what not only a true leader is, not only what a hero is, but in fact we see the very essence of what makes real Americans what they are. Here we have a young man, who gave of himself for his fellow man. He prayed to his God, adhering to his faith as all good men do. His humanity took over and he cast aside his own aspirations. In every quality, this young man shows us what a man is and from my point of view, he is thousands of times the man (or woman as I am speaking of character here) our President, so many elected officials and the members of the MSM can ever hope to be. Character, something of which there is a complete lack of in people who we stupidly call leaders and advisers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Josh, you give us hope! Thank You from one who now and then seems to think there isn’t any hope left. With great young men and women like this, we can in fact save this country. We still have the nucleus of a great country. We can still be the America we were always meant to be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-9103396358040890916?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/9103396358040890916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/09/heroic-example-our-leaders-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/9103396358040890916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/9103396358040890916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/09/heroic-example-our-leaders-and.html' title='A Heroic Example Our Leaders and Americans in General Can Learn From'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-333273689567157976</id><published>2011-09-19T15:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-19T15:06:02.776-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jobs? The Real Scandal! Racism At Its Worse!</title><content type='html'>In the movie “Dave”, there is a point in which Dave, the fake President wants to promote his job’s plan, but in effect no one will listen due to a scandal within the administration. Now Dave wasn’t part of this scandal, but as he is pretending to be the President, he is ensnared by it, the media and adversaries latch unto it and in effect a goes plan goes by the wayside as scandal is all that matters. Thus was the premise of a movie. And thus I am reminded of the realities of today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We see now a President in real life who is now “focused on” the dismal job problem here in the U.S. Let’s forget the question of “where the hell have you been the last 32 months on this you blithering idiot?” and look at another facet of this. As I am rather cynical at best when it comes to this President and his true intentions, can one make the supposition that the “Jobs Program” is just a way to turn attention away from the various scandals that this administration is now being shown as being involved in? And if so, why hasn’t the MSM on the whole picked up on this (mind you, there are some, even an ABC reporter surprisingly enough who have) raced into scandal mania nirvana?  Unlike “Dave” where the scandal stole the attention as would normally be the case, we have the Jobs Bill, hopefully in the view of the lefties, taking attention away from the scandals! And what scandals they really truly are!&lt;br /&gt;Listening to the President this morning, one as usual only heard the same tired rhetoric and pandering to his base, nothing more, nothing less! Personally, I want to point out the scandals because in his Class warfare attack this morning, we might have the biggest scandal of all. A President who in fact is destroying the very foundation of this country’s economy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up front we have the “Green Industry” scandal, highlighted by Solyndra Inc. and other Green companies”  as is usual, we have the cover up in which administration officials deny any involvement with the rewarding of stimulus funds, etc to these companies&gt;. Oops! Here comes a bankruptcy and almost  ½ billion dollars lost! But “We know nothing!”  While I’m not going to go crazy citing things, here are two or three instances. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Emails released Thursday night show the Obama administration privately worried about the effect of a default by Solyndra Inc. on the president’s re-election campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The optics of a Solyndra default will be bad,” an official from the Office of Management and Budget wrote in a Jan. 31 email to a senior OMB official. “The timing will likely coincide with the 2012 campaign season heating up.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gotta love this next one! “The four-star Air Force general who oversees U.S. Space Command walked into a highly secured room on Capitol Hill a week ago to give a classified briefing to lawmakers and staff, and dropped a surprise. Pressed by members, Gen. William Shelton said the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony to make it more favorable to a company tied to a large Democratic donor.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course we even get a Rom sighting here! Convenient lack of memory here: Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel says that he doesn’t recall the Obama administration’s loan to Solyndra, the bankrupt solar panel manufacturer that received more than $500 million in taxpayer loans and is now under investigation.&lt;br /&gt;Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, told local radio station WLS that he was not going to talk about the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don’t actually remember that or know about it. So, what I’m dealing is with what I’m dealing with here today,” Emanuel told a reporter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More from the Daily Caller:&lt;br /&gt;E-mail communications from the White House obtained by the House Energy and Commerce Committee point to more involvement in the deal than perhaps Emanuel would care to remember.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vice president was scheduled to announce the closure of the Solyndra deal on Sept. 4, and several e-mails show pressure from the White House to approve the loan.&lt;br /&gt;In one e-mail, an assistant to Emanuel wrote on Aug. 31, 2009 to the Office of Management and Budget about the administration’s upcoming announcement on Solyndra and asked whether “there is anything we can help speed along on OMB side.”&lt;br /&gt;Suffice it to say anyone can follow this easily and it is a scandal of major proportions, at least to those who aren’t lapping up Obama’s favor! Still, this pales in some ways compared to the “fast and Furious” gun running scandal! Here we have the Attorney General as well as the white House not only denying but in fact stonewalling an investigation of something that has resulted in numerous deaths including a border agent! Holder denied knowledge of this even after a speech he had made citing the very program a year before was played to the public! Gets better though!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the LA Times:&lt;br /&gt;Newly obtained emails show that the White House was better informed about a failed gun-tracking operation on the border with Mexico than was previously known.&lt;br /&gt;Three White House national security officials were given some details about the operation, dubbed Fast and Furious. The operation allowed firearms to be illegally purchased, with the goal of tracking them to Mexican drug cartels. But the effort went out of control after agents lost track of many of the weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The supervisor of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation in Phoenix specifically mentioned Fast and Furious in at least one email to a White House national security official, and two other White House colleagues were briefed on reports from the supervisor, according to White House emails and a senior administration official.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ ATF Director: Holder Obstructing ‘Fast and Furious’ Probe”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If his account is accurate, then ATF leadership appears to have been effectively muzzled while the DOJ sent over false denials and buried its head in the sand," Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said in a letter Tuesday to Attorney General Eric Holder. "That approach distorted the truth and obstructed our investigation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cover up is afoot, and quite familiar: Fast and Furious Follows Watergate Template”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, I’ve discussed this before and the examples of the lies and cover up are there for all to see! As stated earlier, people died because of these actions and the Attorney General as well as the PResdient, the men sworn to uphold the law of the land are in fact fighting every way they can to cover up their actions. Pure and simple fact here kids!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, the two examples cited above in many ways are being cast as “politics as usual” and of course only touched by the propaganda industry known as the MSM! Beyond a doubt, the actions by the administration are in my view are of a criminal and for that matter Anti-American nature and should be dealt with harshly, something that as we now well know will never be the case when it is an ultra anti-American ideal administration in charge! But quite honestly, these scandals are small potatoes compared to the worse scandal of them all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, once again, the President resorted to class warfare in his Jobs speech! For those with an ounce of common sense however, it is not only the class warfare aspect that is troubling enough, but in fact it is the overt racism being shown by the Democrats and other lefties that is the biggest scandal of all! This administration, the MSM and all others involved are inciting racial hatred the like of which many cannot even imagine! Examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The interesting question is: What is it about this president that has stripped away the veneer of respect that normally accompanies the Office of the President? Why do Republicans think this president is unpresidential and should dare to request this kind of thing? It strikes me that it could be the economic times, it could be that he won so big in 2008 or it could be, let’s face it, the color of his skin. This is an extraordinary reaction to a normal sequence of events,” MSNBC contributor Richard Wolffe said on “The Last Word.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REP. ANDRE CARSON, (D), INDIANA: Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us as second-class citizens. (audience members reply, "Yes!") Some of them in Congress right now of this Tea Party would love to see you and me- I'm sorry, Tamron- hanging on a tree. (audience members reply, "Yes!") Some of them right now in Congress are comfortable with where we were 50 and 60 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;“I’m not afraid of anybody,” said Waters. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned, the ‘tea party’ can go straight to hell.“&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, can’t not have something from our boy Jesse:  “The tea party opposing Obama, Jackson said, should be called the “Fort Sumter Tea Party that sought to maintain states’ rights and slavery.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just today we have this drivel from the Congressional Black Caucus! Via The Political Pistachio: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Unhappy members of the Congressional Black Caucus “probably would be marching on the White House” if Obama were not president, according to CBC Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If [former President] Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House," Cleaver told “The Miami Herald” in comments published Sunday. "There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cleaver acknowledged that some of the things members of his caucus say might not be in the best interests of the “aggressive agenda” he said he is seeking to develop as chairman.&lt;br /&gt;“Maxine Waters represents central Los Angeles first and she has to represent her constituents first and she’s going to say things in order to represent them,” he said.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a scandal that is eroding every bit of progress made in the last century or more!  From the same Political Pistachio post we have the following!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Character Matters:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate -- look to his character..." -- Noah Webster, Letters to a Young Gentleman Commencing His Education, 1789 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. -- Martin Luther King, I have a Dream, 1963 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let’s look closely at the facts. We have the CBC now openly avowing their stance as to open racist hate towards the whites! We have seen the Justice Department at the command of AG Holder refuse to prosecute the New Black Panther hate movement when it came to PROVEN racist voter intimidation! We have members of this administration. Congress, the MSM and others yelling ”Racist” whenever one says the words Illegal Alien”!  We have anyone who disagrees with this President and his Anti-American Soviet Style Socialist policies and plan for income redistribution branded as Racist!  We have what is called Flash Mobs, black mobs attacking White people, documented and proven to have occurred! The list goes on and on. And what is the biggest scandal here? The absolute silence form our President, the Attorney General and the MSM as to the open Racism that is in fact being ok’d by the upper levels of power, chief among these, the President and his Attorney General!  Silence! Not a word! And why not? Easy. He’d piss off his voting base. The hell with the good of the country!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jobs? The economy?  Terror? As important at these things are, they are all being used by this administration to cover up their real scandals! The silence as to the overt Racism being put forward by his party and the MSM speaks volumes to the cancer that is this administration! It is an indictment of a President and his lackeys as to a complete dereliction of duty as it relates to the racial harmony of this nation! This President, with his silence on the overt racism being espoused by those who support him is a traitor to his job and his country. Furthermore he is an insult to the memory of people like MLK ! Silence in this case is not golden! Silence in this case appears to be a core hatred for the very principles we as a people hope to live under!

I Heard Nothing! I Saw Nothing! I Know Nothing!</title><content type='html'>After a nice break, I’m back and hopefully with a vengeance.  I’ve done a lot of thinking this last 4 weeks, trying to not only put the disaster that is this current administration, but also this entire country’s complete loss of direction into some kind of perspective. I stepped back to not only refresh my mind, but in fact I had hoped I could find a way to see something, anything good as to what is actually going on and in turn, not go off on one of my mad eyed tangents. Alas, that was not to be. Between the horrible racist accusations, the “Fast and Furious” cover up, Backdoor Amnesty for Illegal Aliens (including Uncle Omar) and of course the fiasco that is this President’s fiscal/economic/ or “whatever policy”, all I’ve managed to do is get even more irate at the situation and in turn find I in fact have to vent and for that matter loudly and as is my wont sometimes crassly.  So, let’s go for a ride kids! If nothing else, I know for sure I have to be who I am, and stand true to my convictions.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mentioned 3 things above that I feel warrant comment and before I get to my main thrust of today, I want to add a fourth (all of which I will be posting on over the next two days). That is the situation in Egypt and the break in and ransacking of the Israeli Embassy.  No surprise here! Hope you’re happy Barack and company! And ooh, we’ve expressed our “displeasure” at this. They’re shaking over there and at the UN over that for sure! NOT! Israel is in the crosshairs and this administration is oblivious to this and any other Islamic action against her! Arab Spring my ass! &lt;br /&gt;Now, for my main thought of today:  As all know, we had another wasted hour Thursday night in which, according to the Obama Pravda propaganda machine he is now completely focused on jobs!  Before my thoughts on this, I share from Scared Monkeys the following which pretty much sums it up in a nice way (as compared to my upcoming tirade).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;… What was the market’s reaction a day after Barack Obama’s more of the same class warfare, jobs speech … the Dow lost 303.68 points, 2.7% and fell below 11,000 to 10,992.13. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I can sit here and go on and on as to “it’s the same warmed over Rhetoric” or “it’s just another campaign speech” or whatever! All that would do is get us to the same place we’re at right now. Still, for grins and giggles, (and the fact my evil twin is pounding at my head to get out) here are some thoughts on “Barack’s Jobapalooza” or “How Too Appear Completely Out Of Touch With Reality”!&lt;br /&gt;“Pass this bill!” Over and over! Good God, does this idiot think we don’t understand his words? Moron Alert! What bill? Excuse me, but is this another pass it to find out what’s in it thing? More spending! A Jobs Bank? More money for infrastructure?  Extend unemployment benefits?  Wasn’t that what the last trillion dollars or so was supposed to do? Spark the economy. Create more jobs? Take care of folks until they could take care of themselves.  What exactly am I missing here? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, our beloved leader couldn’t stop with just more spending! No sir! We had to have our daily dose of class warfare thrown in! Can’t let a speech go by without taking another shot at putting everyone at each other’s throats! He sure managed as usual to demonize business   in general and reinforce his support for the corrupt unions and their practices. Funny, not one word about the Boeing situation. How many jobs is his NLRB preventing from being given out as they persue this suit against a company that “left the reservation” in their eyes for greener pastures? How many Mr. President? Hell, you couldn’t answer that if you wanted to as you probably can’t hear or see what’s going on what with your head stuck so far up Trumpka’s you know what!  As always, you are who you associate with and it was apparent just in who was with your wife! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The administration now says 9.2% unemployment will be the norm for the next few years. Not my words! And of course, they have to blame the usual culprits. Nice not to here’ Bush” the other  night, but as usual he made it very clear Conservatives are the enemy of the people! “It’s the Republicans! They blocked everything I tried to do.”  Blah Blah Blah! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I didn’t hear was any substance, just worn out Bull! How is one to believe he is now “focused on jobs and they economy” when in fact he is prescribing more of the same failed policies that are destroying it? Obamacare is a costly boondoggle! Not to worry, it’s the cornerstone of his economic recovery!  Ask him! He’s stupid enough to believe it just as he believes in redistribution of wealth rather than self responsibility and incentive. That is fact!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must assume Comrade Obama knows his stuff though. After all, he had this Simpson/Bowles study that had recommendation to try to fix this. OOPS! Didn’t fit his beliefs I guess as our brilliant leader basically said “stuff it!” Shouldn’t worry though! After all, he talks down to and addresses the entire electorate as morons or worse. As such, we have to believe him We’re too dumb to figure out finances on a grand scale. Government is different than real life everyday finances. I know., he said so!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens when a leader becomes insignificant? In three years we have lost the respect of the free world in general. We have turned our back on our allies! We watch as the crazed Islamists openly defy every tenet we hold dear and are told to “understand”!  And now, we are supposed to believe someone in every move he has made has finished, (As I have said in the past, many on both sides are responsible. He just openly show his anti-capitalist nature) destroying our country’s finances? Millions of jobs have been lost thanks to his policies, policies that were pushed through a compliant super majority legislative branch. Policies that were not vetted by that branch! And let’s not forget the fact that the Democratic Senate to this day has refused to address a budget! All lead to uncertainty in the business community! &lt;br /&gt;There’s no inflation. Must be true, he through his propaganda machine says so. Yet business and individuals are paying more through the nose for fuel, raw materials, etc! Yet he proposes as usual to continue raping the very folks who pay most of the taxes! We all know the figures! We all know over 50% of the populace do not pay a cent in federal income tax! Yet, this hate monger chooses as usual to pit the taxpayers against those who don’t pay. Class warfare at its finest!  But the MSM says it needs more fairness as he says! This of course comes under the heading of incredible BULL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line here!  The man ain’t got a plan! After the debt ceiling debacle we got an unconstitutional panel to decide our financial future. Our leader chose to go on vacation and fed us the “I will make an important jobs speech when I return: line. We were told he would put forward a plan1 I didn’t hear any plan I did hear something about let’s spend more money we don’t have now and sometime in the future I’ll tell you how we’ll pay for it! The man who is so focused on jobs and the economy sure couldn’t be rushed to come up with something to fix it! And in turn, he hasn’t in fact come up with anything now! The man ain’t got a plan! &lt;br /&gt;Now that I really think about it, I didn’t hear anything of substance from this pathetic facsimile of a leader just the usual garbage! I would have been better off going to bed! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last word here! I notice the usual RINOS coming up with their “we must compromise with the President” B.S. stand! Grow some cahoonies guys! No compromise on the basic principles that built this country! No compromise as to Socialist government programs as wanted by this clown! No compromise with anyone, be it the President, Senate, House or whatever when that compromise can and will hurt the country. As always, you morons put your own sorry asses first, worried about your jobs and power. Tell us the truth! We can take it. Once you do that, look at that truth and act on it as you should. Of course, this would entail everyone of you corrupt morons to actually adhere to  an ethic and principle much less actually putting aside your power lust for the good of the people! Crap! I forgot, that’s what you’re in government for. You and the moron we call President are in it for the people! How could I be so stupid as to forget that? After all, you all tell us you’re about us, not you, especially the leftist in charge! Lies are truth to you , be it the economy or apparently anything concerning the good of the United States in general!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And that goes for the President and his speech the other night. All lip service but not a damned thing said! And to think someone actually said he is the greatest orator of our time!  I’d wager the likes of Stephen Douglass (a Democrat BTW: I probably have to wonder if many have been taught the Lincoln/Douglas debates though) are rolling over in their graves being compared to the mind numbed robot that is our supposed leader! &lt;br /&gt;Wake me up when he says anything I should hear! As of now, he’s not even a broken record anymore, merely the proverbial screeching fingernail on the chalkboard. And that fact alone bodes badly for our future!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-4831060089394142929?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/4831060089394142929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/09/what-speech-i-heard-nothing-i-saw.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4831060089394142929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4831060089394142929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/09/what-speech-i-heard-nothing-i-saw.html' title='What Speech?

Does The Electorate Care Now?</title><content type='html'>I had almost finished a rant and rave as to the pathetic lies, misconceptions and pure hypocrisy coming not only from the lying sacks of you know what in the administration but in fact the entire menagerie referred to as D.C. politicians, a group one can easily equate to prostitution when it comes to the majority of those clowns. As I was doing some more research to augment my arguments, I came across this fabulous post by Christopher over at "Conservative Perspectives", a blog I follow and recommend to anyone! Honestly, it's as if the man read my mind!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With his permission, I am posting it below. Please, read it with an open mind! When you finish the below, ask yourself the question. Does it matter now?! Or do you believe as some do it's to late or worse, you cannot do anything about it? As I have said many times in the past, the electorate with it's short attention span combined with the evil propaganda that comes from the ruling class of both sides has poisoned us to the point that this great country is about fall. Welfare state zombies who refuse to face up to their responsibilities all being led by a socialist puppet master dare to ask for more not withstanding the dire straits we are now in! As the blame for this is, according to the media and Comrade Obama on the Tea Party's head and conservatives in general ask yourself. Does it matter? Do lies matter? Does open spite for your country and it's founding ideals matter? Does open racism matter? Does "above the law" attitude matter? Does the Constitution matter? If it does, make yourself heard! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Conservative Perspective:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding 2012,,,,Does it matter now??????? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the 'inbox' (multiple times) - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us already know of the facts contained in the following but when compiled together it makes for a very strong argument AGAINST Obama to those in the "undecided" camp if it actually exists. If you have not yet received this in your 'inbox' I strongly encourage all to copy and paste this and "redistribute" it as you see fit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does it matter now???????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN Obama wrote a book and said he was mentored as a youth by Frank (Frank Marshall Davis was his Mother’s boyfriend) an avowed Communist, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN it was discovered that his grandparents were strong socialists who sent Obama's mother to a socialist school where she was introduced to Frank Marshall Davis. He was later introduced to young Barrack Hussein Obama. People said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN people found out that Barrack Hussein Obama was enrolled as a Muslim child in school and his father and stepfather were both Muslims, people

people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN an independent Washington organization, that tracks Senate voting records, gave him the distinctive title as the "most liberal senator," people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN the Palestinians in Gaza set up a fund raising telethon to raise money for his election campaign, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN his voting record supported gun control, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he refused to disclose who donated money to his election campaign, as other candidates had done, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he received endorsements from people like Louis Farrakhan and Mummar Kadaffi and Hugo Chavez, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN it was pointed out that he was a total newcomer and had absolutely no experience at anything except community organizing, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he chose friends and acquaintances such as Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn who were revolutionary radicals, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN his voting record in the Illinois senate and in the U.S. Senate came into question, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he refused to wear a flag lapel pin, and did so only after a public outcry, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN people started treating him as a Messiah and children in schools were taught to sing his praises, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he stood with his hands over his groin area for the playing of the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he surrounded himself in the White house with advisors who were pro-gun control, pro- abortion, pro-homosexual marriage and wanting to curtail freedom of speech to silence the opposition

nothing could be found about him, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN the place of his birth was called into question, and he refused to produce a birth certificate, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he had an association in Chicago with Tony Rezco--a man of questionable character and who is now in prison and had helped Obama to a sweet deal on the purchase of his home-- people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN it became known that George Soros, a multi-billionaire Marxist, spent a ton of money to get him elected, people

the nations largest tax, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he appointed Van Jones, an ex-con and avowed Communist as Green Energy Czar, who since had to resign when this was made known, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN Tom Daschle, Obama's pick for health and human services secretary could not be confirmed, because he was a tax cheat, people

Christian during the election and tapes were later made public that showed Obama speaking to a Muslim group and 'stating' that he was raised a Muslim; was educated as a Muslim; and that he is still a Muslim-- people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States through Cap and Trade, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State , people finally woke up--- but it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are an Obama Supporter don't be angry with me because I think Barrack Hussein Obama is a socialist. Far too many facts support he is indeed a Socialist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you seek the truth you will be richer for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't just belittle the opposition.. Search for the truth. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalists, Libertarians all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE. Our biggest enemy is not China , Russia , North Korea , and Iran our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question....will you ignore this, or pass it on to others who don't know about Obama's actions and plans for the USA , so that they may know how to vote in November, 2012 and the ensuing years? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's your decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe it does matter.

Obamaland As Usual</title><content type='html'>I can’t let the day go by without commenting on two other issues! In Wisconsin, there were reported instances of Black on White assaults outside the State Fairgrounds. Of course, the politically correct (save for a few brave souls) refused to categorize it as such, preferring the generic “youth gang or mob” designation and openly refusing to report the truth! This has been going on in a few cities this summer and will in fact get worse as I say below! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not the least bit surprising! The media and the police forces themselves in all of these instances refuse to report it as is, choosing to be politically correct or in my estimation as usual cowtowing to Jesse, Al, Holder and the rest of the racists who seem to steer the narrative. The fact is these are Racial assaults pure and simple. It is Black on White! Someone has top get their heads out of their asses and report the truth! Do not expect it from either the MSM or most of the politically correct compromised police departments and surely not from the scum politicians who happily use the race card only in one direction. And that’s at conservatives. One can be sure the propagandists are already looking for a way to describe the assailants as “unfortunate victims of our racist society” rather than what the racist thugs they really are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moron Alert! It is not racist to report a crime as Black preying on White if it is a fact as this is! It is not racist to report a killing as being done by a Mexican Illegal Alien if it is a fact! And it sure as hell is not racist or anything else if one reports a Radical Muslim runs over his daughter in an attempt to apply their own sick version of Sahria Law if that is a fact! Jesse, Al, Holder and you also President Obama! The main Racism in this country now is being orchestrated and condoned by the very people who are supposed to disavow it! What have we heard from our moron of a President or the Attorney General about these instances, all factually documented by the way? NOT A DAMNED THING!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess one shouldn’t be surprised considering the stance as to the Black Panthers and the illegal alien situation. We have a racial problem in this country, on that most hope was easing up. That problem is being perpetuated by this President and others who when backed into the corner with their failed policies choose to throw the race card. Sure as hell no balls on their part as to facing the truth! Racists? Look in the Mirror Mr. President! And while you’re at it, have Jesse, Al, Holder and all the others who have thrown out these venomous lies look in it with you! You and your ilk disgust me. You dishonor the office with your racist lies!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally today, Operation Gun Runner, Fast and Furious or whatever it’s called! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Obama administration, at the highest levels, and likely Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama themselves, authorized the sale of at least 2,000 high-powered rifles and other sophisticated weapons to the “Sinaloa” Mexican drug cartel.  That much we have learned so far in sworn testimony and documents from the “Fast and Furious” investigation by  Congressman Darrell Issa’s  Congressional Oversight and Government Reform Committee.  As bad as the weapons sales are, it doesn’t stop there. It is now learned through sworn affidavits in U.S. District court in Chicago that the U.S. government, at very high levels, “negotiated” to allow tons of Sinaloa cocaine into the country, supposedly in exchange for “information” about other drug gangs.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is it (except for CBS which broke it) that the major networks and MSM morons are choosing to cover this up. The DOJ and the administration has been openly stonewalling and in fact lying about this operation. Now we find out the above! Where is the outcry? When in the hell are we going to go after this rouge above the law administration? When is this country going to demand accountability form the President on down for this miscarriage of justice? 1,000’s have died including one of our border guards, all thanks to this misguided operation. Yet we see nothing but lies and coverup! The administration knew this was going on. A brave American border guard and many others died because of this! The responsibility lays squarely on the shoulders of the President of the United States! What is going on is and has been a criminal act! The fact that this President feels he and his followers are above the law is pathetic yet there for all to see! When will it stop?!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-4456404597341254154?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/4456404597341254154/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/08/racism-and-coverup-obamaland-as-usual.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4456404597341254154'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4456404597341254154'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/08/racism-and-coverup-obamaland-as-usual.html' title='Racism and Coverup.

As usual what did Comrade Obama have to say? Not a damned thing new!  Raise taxes and spend more money. As all politicians, this clown only knows how to lie and deceive. $7 trillion in new debt is a spending cut! And so on and so on and blah blah blah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have seen not only political idiocy at its worse, but in fact have seen  a complete dereliction of duty involving both sides. Rhino Republicans along with their leadership sold the country down the road. The had Obama by the balls but chickened out,  unwilling to hear the terrible things the Obama propaganda machine would say about them! Raising the debt limit gave Comrade Obama and company an open checkbook. In turn, S&amp;P followed through on their threat to downgrade. Of course, to the lying sacks of crap in D.C., this was a political act! Morn alert! S&amp;P and others were branded as culpable in the housing bubble and so forth that led to the current recession. It just could be S&amp;P is actually doing what they are supposed to. If I bite off too much, my rating goes down! Why shouldn’t the governments? So not to anyone’s surprise other than the lying bastards who said all would be well, we got the following!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The U.S. debt surpassed 100 percent of gross domestic product after the government's debt ceiling was lifted, Treasury figures showed Wednesday, according to AFP. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new borrowing took total public debt to $14.58 trillion, over end-2010 GDP of $14.53 trillion, and putting it in a league with highly indebted countries like Italy and Belgium”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing surprising there. Note not only below, but in fact for decades, spending has risen unabated with not one true leader having the balls to intercede and try to stop it! For the lying Democrats and scum bag RINO Republicans, Aa Socialist welfare state is a promise of their job security. Nothing less. Promise a brain dead electorate the moon and be set for life! A few more interesting tidbits, all fact!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Newsbusters:&lt;br /&gt;Since the Democrats took over Congress in 2007, the deficit has grown tenfold from $160 billion to $1.6 trillion. Spending has increased $1.1 trillion or 41 percent as the debt exploded $5.9 trillion or 68 percent. Meanwhile, unemployment has gone from 4.4 percent to 9.1 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“U.S. debt shot up $239 billion on Tuesday — the largest one-day bump in history — as the government flexed the new borrowing room it earned in this week’s debt-limit increase deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The debt subject to the statutory limit shot way past the old cap of $14.294 trillion to hit $14.532 trillion on Tuesday, according to the latest the Treasury Department figures, which are released on the next business day.&lt;br /&gt;That increase puts the government already remarkably close to the new debt limit of $14.694, which means one day’s new borrowing ate up 60 percent of the $400 billion in space Congress granted the president this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The previous one-day record debt increase was $186 billion, set on June 30, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;So now we are in free fall. Congress did not do its job! The President sure as hell didn’t lead! And what in fact have we heard from him! Wait, we did hear something!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the PJ Tattler: The King of Excuses&lt;br /&gt;“The week prior to the downgrade of US credit by S&amp;P, President Obama and his spokesman took four separate occasions to cast blame for the poor economy on the Japanese tsunami, the Arab Spring, the “unrest” in Europe and the rise in oil prices. The lousy economy predates all of those, and his policies have made a bad economy much worse. Now that the downgrade on our credit has happened, the president sent out David Axelrod, John Kerry and the usual suspects to blame the Tea Party. They even called it the “Tea Party downgrade,” a line so cynical and dishonest it catches your breath.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So basically, nothing other than the usual bullshit! After the downgrade, President Weenie went into hiding! Not a word for over 2 days! Oops! Forgot one thing. He did send out his propaganda ministers to spread the usual lies and crap pointing the finger at everyone except him and his clueless cohorts form both parties!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And before I go any further here, I am sick and damned tired of being blamed for this fiasco. I believe in the Tea Party and its stands on issues! I am not a Racist as charged! I am not a terrorist as charged! I am not a cannibal or anything else as portrayed by these sick bastards in the media and on the left. I and others are American citizens concerned about our country. Yet Comrade Obama sent out his propaganda ministers to demonize the Tea Party and all conservatives in general! Below, are different quotes from moronic imbeciles whose only concern seems to be blame the Tea Party! BTW: Let’s not forget these are the same jerks who when they had complete control of all facets of government, could not even bother to pass a budget much less anything else other than that which they wanted to push as part of their socialist agenda!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is essentially a Tea Party downgrade,” Axelrod said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I believe this is, without question, the tea party downgrade,” Mr. Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is a Tea Party problem," the fiery politician said. "They are totally unreasonable and doctrinaire and not founded in reality.&lt;br /&gt;"I think they've been smoking some of that tea, not just drinking it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But could they just leave it at that? Of course not! Why waste an opportunity to further vilify decent Americans if the ones in power can benefit from it? Nope! The MSM or in my view, the co-opted media shills for Comrade Obama happily kissed their Fearless Leaders hand and proceeded to rip into anyone opposing their views as evidenced below!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You know what they say: Never negotiate with terrorists. It only encourages them. These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people....For now, the Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests. But rest assured: They’ll have them on again soon enough.”&lt;br /&gt;— New York Times columnist Joe Nocera, August 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tea Party budget-slashers....were like cannibals, eating their own party and leaders alive. They were like vampires, draining the country’s reputation, credit rating and compassion. They were like zombies, relentlessly and mindlessly coming back again and again to assault their unnerved victims, Boehner and President Obama. They were like the metallic beasts in Alien flashing mouths of teeth inside other mouths of teeth, bursting out of Boehner’s stomach every time he came to a bouquet of microphones.”&lt;br /&gt;— New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, August 3 column.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Some people say that the Republican Party has been held hostage by the Tea Party. One of our Facebook followers sent in an interesting analogy and said, ‘Why are Republicans allowing freshman congressmen to control this debate?’ and this person said, ‘It’s like letting the teenager in the family run the family budget.’ I mean, there’s some truth in that.”&lt;br /&gt;— Moderator Bob Schieffer to GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell on Face the Nation, July 31.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Let me finish tonight with this bad experience we’ve all just been through. What we saw, what I saw at least, was one guy with a knife and the other trying to avoid being cut. It was a thug attacking a victim. It was a mugging. Now, the good news — relief is a better word, I suppose — is that the victim did get through it. The bad news is that the mugger got what he wanted. He got the wallet....The mugging continues, again and again and again. The people who perpetrated this assault on the President will come back to do it again.”&lt;br /&gt;— Chris Matthews talking about the debt talks on MSNBC’s Hardball, August 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to Newsbusters for the above quotes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now in my view, this is disgusting enough. In the past as all who follow me know, I have railed endlessly about not only the co-opted media, but in fact the loss of our freedoms such as Freedom of Speech! That is bad enough on its own, but increasingly we see power mad assholes such as John Kerry below openly advocate what is in effect censorship of any position opposed to theirs!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEN. JOHN KERRY: “And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it’s exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It doesn’t deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do. And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of what’s real, of who’s accountable, of who is not accountable, of who’s real, who isn’t, who’s serious, who isn’t?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we have a sitting U.S. Senator advocating and in fact openly telling the media what to write about or what to say or not say! Where in the hell is the outcry about this! Will someone please tell me what the hell gives anyone the right to tell the “Free Press” what to say? Oh, silly me! I forgot the MSM is a propaganda shill for Comrade Obama and company, just as TASS and Pravda for the USSR ro the media in Venezuaela as an example are required to be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I am always taken to task about what I feel are the Soviet Style Marxist leanings of this President and his party, let me give you this incredible piece of B.S.!&lt;br /&gt;“While noting he is disappointed with "some aspects" of the Obama administration's domestic and foreign policy, Sam Webb, chairman of the Communist Party USA, threw his support behind Obama's re-election bid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an article last week at People's Weekly World, the official newspaper of the Communist Party USA, Webb discussed the need for a third party consisting of the so-called working class and labor as well as "racially and nationally oppressed people, women, youth, immigrants, seniors, gay and straight." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Webb, however, recognized that such a party is not likely to emerge by next year. &lt;br /&gt;"Millions who have to be at the core of this party still operate under the umbrella of the Democratic Party, albeit increasingly in an independent fashion," he noted. &lt;br /&gt;Webb said that for communists there are major differences between Democrats and Republicans. He urged his supporters to continue to back the Democrats. &lt;br /&gt;Wrote Webb: "Neither party is anti-capitalist, but they aren't identical either. Differences exist at the levels of policy and social composition. And despite the many frustrations of the past two years, the election of Barack Obama was historic and gave space to struggle for a people's agenda." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I’m not surprised, we have seen way too often that this President’s supporters feel he has not gone far enough!  Moron Alert! He’s already in less than 2 years bought the U.S. to its knees! China now lectures us and why not? They own so much of our securities and in fact are now the de-facto leader of the world, courtesy of Comrade Obama!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I didn’t think there could be any more inane idiocy to come out of this, I must stand corrected. Below is one of the most incredible and really asinine things I have ever seen or heard in my life! Print more money! All will be well! Our current administration says they never did this (stimulus QE1 and 2 and so on notwithstanding which were all in fact just printing more worthless money)! Just remember kids! I can’t even make this bullshit up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on Sunday ruled out the chance of a US default following S&amp;P's decision to downgrade America's credit rating.&lt;br /&gt;"The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default" said Greenspan on NBC's Meet the Press.&lt;br /&gt;"What I think the S&amp;P thing did was to hit a nerve that there's something basically bad going on, and it's hit the self-esteem of the United States, the psyche" said Greenspan”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally today, I want to give Joe Scarborough a kudo or two. As one well knows, I very rarely will say anything good about a lefty commentator but in this case, he is right on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“SCARBOROUGH: I am not blaming the President exclusively. We have blamed the Tea Partiers here for not moving. We have blamed Republicans. We have blamed Democrats as well. But please – I know it makes you feel better, but, you know, stop using the Tea Party as a piñata. We’ve got systemic problems in this country. The President could have done something for two years when he had Democrats controlling the House of Representatives and controlling the United States Senate. He did nothing on entitlement reform.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today across the pond, the ECB put together a bailout package for Italy and Spain! More worthless money thrown away at more countries which followed the failed premise of Socialism! What is happening here in the U.S. now is just another symptom of the sickness that consumes any country in which their people reject personal responsibility and choose to expect someone else to do it for them. Our country is at a crossroads! The politicians up to now have chosen to either not act for all practical purposes or even worse continue in a way that can only destroy us! I firmly believe this President and the majority of our current leaders do not have the fortitude to take the actions needed to save this country.  Yes, the medicine is bitter, but the creeping disease is hundreds of times worse! Get your heads out of your asses Washington! Stop lying to the electorate! Cut the bullshit promise and put the house in order!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-7832494306083394392?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/7832494306083394392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/08/debt-downgrade-lies-and-deceit-nation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/7832494306083394392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/7832494306083394392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/08/debt-downgrade-lies-and-deceit-nation.html' title='Debt, Downgrade, Lies And Deceit  A Nation Bankrupt  Of Both Money And Moralls'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-3200116891079005229</id><published>2011-08-08T10:06:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-08T10:15:25.568-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Downgrade Madness</title><content type='html'>I have a post ready to go as to the absolute bullshit going on as to the debt and downgrade issue. Before I post it though, Comrade Obama is about to speak. Nice of him to make an appearance over two days after the downgrade and the ensuing panic in the world markets! I guess that's understandable though seeing he had to give his lying propaganda ministers a few days to get on the Sunday talk shows so they could demonize the Tea Party and any other responsible citizen and set the table for him to once again feed us a colossal line of crap as he rides to the rescue.  More to say on this later. Let it suffice for the moment that in my mind, Comrade Obama has succeeded in delivering us to his handlers in Red China, a country that now is in the position to lecture us! The word, power and trust of the U.S. has been thrown into the crapper, courtesy of Comrade Obama and company. And let's not even begin to address the lies and hypocrisy as to Immigration, the criminal Operation Gun Runner fiasco or the open ignorance shown to the increasing black on white crime wave (yes, what these events are are indeed a crime)! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the moment as I'm finishing my major posts, I am madder than a wet hen1 As I've been extremely crass lately, I hope the coming posts reflect more thought than obscene passion!

As such, I still have the feeling we have not only criminal activity but in fact a cover-up by Obama on down which in my view should already have led to impeachment proceedings! Unfortunately, the so called debt crisis is giving our friends in the MSM propaganda industry a good excuse to ignore it! I will come back to this in a later post. Let it suffice for the time being that the administration in this case as most others is full of bull!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now onto the debt crisis. Be warned, I'm beyond mad and am writing as such! First and foremost, let's state some fact! Democrats have not even introduced a budget in over 850 days! Moron Alert! They had an unstoppable majority but they actually announced they didn't feel they should do budget stuff going into the last election so as not to hurt themselves! The Democratic majority refused to do their jobs! They did however in the first two years of this Commie administration pass completely insane programs such as the failed stimulus bill, Obamacare ans so on, not even bothering in some cases to read the bill and certainly not giving a rat's ass about the consequences of their actions or where the funds would be coming from! As such, this administration alone is adding over 1.2 trillion dollars a year to our debt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As evidenced over the last few days, there are also some assholes known as Republicans who also will and have vote for anything that might lead the electorate to believe the incredible lies and false promises put forward by these folks who are in  my mind 100 times worse than street prostitutes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having given a super brief outlook of where I'm coming from, let's look at the last week or so. Obama: "I have a plan". Bullshit (thanks to watching Airplane the other night, I will be a bit crass. I only eish I could have found a gliph of the seat belt signs from the movie) ! Where is oh mighty leader? Watching the news conference yesterday, "Lick Your Shoes Carney" wouldn't even answer a question about it! Why, because you have no plan! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The House has passed two bills, both flawed as they not only allow the raising of the debt ceiling, but do not cut spending. Of course, we have Comrade Reid who refuses to even allow debate on those bills, much less a vote! Nope, instead we get more incredible bullshit! "This is the worse piece of legislation in history" OR how about "I will allow a vote om my plan" You know, the plan he just made up out of the blue to at least make it look like the Senate, sorry bunch of bastards that they are (after listening to Mcain, Brown and of course Snow and Lisa I don't feel bad lumping them in with the rest of the bullshit artists)just so he can feed us even more crap of the Republicans are blocking everything" variety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Moron Alert! The stench from the Senate, bad as it is pales compared to the White House! These aren't mere lies coming from the Senate leaders. This is on the verge of treason as the majority of Senators are more than willing to bankrupt the country rather than face up to not only their responsibilities but in fact the truth! The truth is they are spineless gutless wimps whose sole aim in life is to continue their lies and deceit all in the name of power! Disgust from my end? No sirree Bob! I'm beyond that. Hate comes to mind! Hate for the fact that our elected officials of both parties and the morons who keep voting them in are so willing to sacrifice this great country for their own power lust! That is My belief. If it doesn't stop, we are through as the country we once knew to be the greatest ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's look at a few more things here. As I noted, the house passed two bills, neither of which were going anywhere as it was felt by the leftist scum that it would tie their hands as they continue raping the citizenry until they control every last thought and cent. Moron Alert! Neither bill cut spending! Why is it these bastards keep telling us they are cutting spending? Along with the debt ceiling bullshit (bullshit in that why do we even call it a ceiling when over the years both parties ignore it and raise it)there is the fact that not one bill, rather passed or not as well as any of the so call "plans" (that's bullshit for what is actually more of the same) in fact increase the debt! And not by a small sum!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every thing I've seen indicates the debt going up another 750 billion a year! That's another 7.5 trillion in debt over 10 years! Where is the cut in spending? Our friends in Washington will tell us they cut 300 billion a year! Really, then why are we going deeper in debt? Moron alert! If you spend more than you take in, you go deeper into debt! As has been in the past, instead of responsible actions taken by our elected leaders. we in fact get more incredible bullshit thrown at us! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now of course let's not forget about the President! I've watched every thing in the last few weeks I could. What exactly did the President and his propaganda ministers actually do or say? One could say in fact NOTHING worth listening too! We've had at least three instances of the President openly lying to the American people. We've had the usual scare the seniors and class warfare as to Social Security checks, etc. We've seen the Treasury Secretary and his "the world is coming to an end" bullshit. And let's not forget not only the race bait garbage but also the fact that Tea Partiers or conservatives in general are in fact "terrorists" if the oppose the Soviet Style confiscation of and misspending our money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That would be bad enough if it wasn't so pathetic. The MSM said Obama is the only adult in the house. Yet we saw Obama waste an entire news conference blaming Bush as usual, and in fact pointing out what he opposes! Not once did I hear him say what he stands for! Not once! He asked for compromise then turned around and told the opposition to kiss his royal ass! We saw his "call my bluff" line which when in fact it was called, he once again ran away and hid! He reached out to the people! Normally Presidents do this to inform the people. In this case, he wanted the people to cover his sorry ass! As usual, he lied!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would love to be able to talk about this with a modicum of respect for our elected officials and the offices they hold.  I wish there were more than just a few out there who would stand on their principles and do what's right! Compromise? I wish there were more brave people out there who would say enough is enough! As Gene Krantz once said, Failure IS Not An Option!" Yet we have the majority of elected officials who are in fact willing to accept just that. Abject Failure! And why? Because the do not have the intestinal fortitude to bite the bullet and swallow the medicine as needs, something we all need to do and now! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I might be kind of meandering on this, but I hope one get's my point! I'm not including news clips, etc. today. I am in fact ranting and raving as loudly as I can.&lt;br /&gt;The lies have to stop. The inaction by our elected officials have to stop! The spending of more than we take in has to stop!Someone has to lead! As it has been proven beyond a doubt that the President is nothing but a follower and of failed principles at that, some brave soul in D.C has to lead! Some brave media outlet has got to throw away their leftist elitist agenda and report the truth! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama is nothing but a bullshit artist as are most politicians. That is fact! Real leaders are rare! We sure as hell are not seeing anything even remotely resmbling leadership. All we see is "Incredible Bullshit"! When will it stop? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This country is already bankrupt monetarily as far as the government. We the People, as it has been pointed by the President and his moronic sidekicks, are too stupid to understand what is going on with the budget and the debt. That was in his own and others words! We don't get it? Those of us who have to who have gone bankrupt, those of us who work 3 jobs just to keep our heads above water, those of us who would end up in jail if we did what this President and legislative bunch is doing, those of us who just want our children and grandchildren to have a chance of possibly making it, we don't understand! Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll tell you miserable bastards in D.C. what I don't understand! I don't understand why you look down on us as the scum of the earth! I don't understand why you refuse to adhere to the very principles that made this country great! Most of all, I don't understand why you cannot stand up, show some spine and do the job we elected you to do. I don't understand why lies and bullshit mean more to you than your constituents! I don't understand why you are willing to destroy this country! And I sure don't understand why so many of you claim to be Patriots when in fact in your inaction towards something as basic as the debt and the budget you are in fact committing treason of the worst kind! You are allowing our country to be destroyed. And that my friends is the most INCREDIBLE BULLSHIT OF ALL!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-6763998522804976177?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/6763998522804976177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/07/debt-crisis-treason-of-first-degree-or.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6763998522804976177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6763998522804976177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/07/debt-crisis-treason-of-first-degree-or.html' title='The Debt Crisis - Treason of the First Degree or Incredible Bull!'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-8863348555495618207</id><published>2011-07-24T10:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-24T11:13:08.275-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Charade Known As The Budget Talks or "Where Were You When  Country Went Belly Up?"</title><content type='html'>We are in the process of witnessing what could well be the sorriest moment ever seen as to our government! From the little boy who stalked out when in effect “his bluff was in fact called”, to the scumbag Reid who deemed a plan that was in writing as the worse piece of legislation ever seen in D.C., to scumbags on both sides who are willing to kick the can down the road once again to ensure their own phony baloney positions, the smell emanating from the halls of power are overwhelmingly sour!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I get into the clips and other comments, one really has to wonder about a President whose only worry seems to be a deal that “that will take us through the next election! Even the President has been quoted as “wanting this to extend beyond the election”! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Detroit Free Press:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Obama is insisting that the debt ceiling extension be large enough to ensure that the issue does not arise again until after the 2012 elections...”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well Hell’s Bells! At least we now know what’s important! Certainly not the fact that in anything these clowns are even remotely discussing, there isn’t one iota of thought as to actually cutting spending to the point of incoming revenues! No Sir1 Everything from not only the leftist scum, but also way to many on the right indicates a desire to continue spending at a frenetic pace far and beyond revenue stream. In other words, we still would have to borrow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few posts ago, I cited the clown’s statement that he was ready to roll up his sleeves and focus on the economy. Well, that was I though one of the top comic moments of his administration! God knows what he was concentrating on before that! But of course, President Bozo still had some more humor in his arsenal! Now, he is a leader! Now he is the “only adult in the room! Now as the media wants us to believe, he is the only person with a plan! The examples below from various sources of course belie that inane notion to be sure! Leadership from this moron!? Yeah right. The only thing he’s leading is this country’s march to the garbage heap of history!&lt;br /&gt;So let’s start with our so called President’s statements as he whines about the nasty Republicans who refuse to pay him lip service!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I've been left at the altar now a couple of times,” the steely-eyed president said. “And I think that, you know, one of the questions that the Republican Party's going to have to ask itself is, can they say 'yes' to anything?” (Oh My! His little feelings are hurt because the patsies didn’t roll over?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama said that he had put forward a package that would significantly cut deficits and debt in a way that does not raise individual tax rates. It is compatible, an exasperated Obama said, with the no-tax pledge that “a whole bunch of these folks signed on to, because we were mindful that they had boxed themselves in.” (What package? What plan? Except for the phony budget that not one Democrat could vote for, the man and his party have not offered jack shit in over 800 days! MORON ALERT! It has been stated more than once that the Democratic party has no intention of passing any budget. They cry about their opposition blocking it! Yet they when they had an untouchable majority refused to enact a budget. If one looks back they then proudly stated their open intention to demonize the right for their failure to act as they are now!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The challenge, he said, “has to do with the seeming inability, particularly in the House of Representatives, to arrive at any kind of position that compromises any of their ideological preferences – none.” (Compromise my ass! The definition for the word in our benevolent dictator’s world is “Republicans, go F… yourselves! It’s my way only! Don’t you dare question me! This from a man who apparently doesn’t understand the first thing about the definition of the word budget!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrats had done their part and agreed to compromises that were difficult to swallow, he said. Now it’s the Republicans’ turn. (see above)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If you want to be a leader, then you got to lead,” he concluded, then turned and walked briskly from the room. ( Choking with laughter at this one, albeit it a laugh of scorn! If this man is a leader, I’d hate to see or for that matter want to know any of his followers!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I apologize because I forgot to note the site I lifted the next thing from. It is a cool statement though!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Now the President is outraged because the GOP House leadership called his bluff and ended discussions with him because they deemed him an obstruction to any real solution to the debt crisis.&lt;br /&gt;He has been deemed a lame duck president. And he is angry now because he is being treated as such.&lt;br /&gt;His foreign policy strategy has been described as “leading from behind.” Well, that’s his domestic policy strategy as well. Why should he be surprised that he’s been left behind in the negotiations when he’s been leading from behind on this debt crisis?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We now turn to our friend John Boehner who at least seems to have grown a bit of spine!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Boehner sent a letter to his Republican colleagues explaining his decision to pull out of talks for a “grand bargain.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Folks – The White House is misleading reporters tonight by claiming that new revenue in the framework that was discussed would have been generated by letting the current tax rates expire. That is simply false. Under the framework, a CEILING was offered by the White House that would generate $800 billion in new revenue over ten years. This would be done through comprehensive tax reform that would clear out deductions, credits, and loopholes in the system – and spur economic growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the gang of six plan came out, the White House moved the goal posts and insisted on $400 billion more in higher taxes – a 50% increase in revenue – and wanted that to be the FLOOR instead of the ceiling. The President acknowledged this in his remarks tonight. “Letting tax cuts expire” was never part of the tax reform agreed to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary of the White House ‘walk backs’ during discussions of the ‘framework.’&lt;br /&gt;TAXES&lt;br /&gt;• The White House agreed to a revenue total that would set a ceiling of about $800 billion in new revenue over ten years that could be generated through economic growth and efficiencies in our tax system (not tax hikes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• After the ‘Gang of Six’ plan was released, and in the wake the reaction from Hill Democrats, they moved the goal posts and insisted on $400 billion more in higher taxes – a 50% increase – and wanted that to the floor instead of the ceiling.&lt;br /&gt;• At the same time, they struck principles of tax reform that were already agreed to, including&lt;br /&gt;No a protection against tax hikes on small businesses&lt;br /&gt;No and a guarantee that there were would be only 3 tax rates and highest one would be below 35%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOCIAL SECURITY&lt;br /&gt;• There was an agreement to change the way government calculates inflation that would significantly extend Social Security’s solvency&lt;br /&gt;• The White House moved off of a previously agreed to solvency target, suggesting a weaker level with 25% less in savings”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I’m not going to pretend to know exactly what was said or not between the Speaker and the President! Anyone who knows me will realize I don’t trust any of the entrenched scum in D.C. and certainly not the MSM reporting on this from the President’s pocket. Having said that, if one looks closely at Mr. Boehner’s stuff above, we as usual see the usual “it’s my way” B.S. from Comrade Obama! No surprise here!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Rubio of Florida put into words exactly what I feel as to the President’s so called “I’ll compromise stance (that’s the President’s “ I’ll feed these clowns whatever bullshit I have to to make it look like they’re the culprits in this” stance). Please note: There cannot be anything called a plan if the CBO cannot score it. There is nothing on paper, there is no plan!  Just lies and distortions from the President and his lackeys Reid and Pelosi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rubio responded by speaking truth to power:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have watched the President give press conferences, I have watched the President give speeches, but I have yet to see a plan from the President. And with all due respect to my colleagues in the other party here in the Senate, I haven't seen a plan from them either.  They are the majority party. They control this chamber. They control the Senate. And I haven't seen a plan from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A moment ago we heard this talk about -- well we have to compromise. Well it's really hard to compromise when the other side doesn't have a plan. What do you compromise on? Where is your plan? You can't compromise if only one person is offering plans. There is only one plan that has been voted on by any House to deal with this issue, and it's the one we're on right now, Cut, Cap and Balance. I would submit that if you don't like Cut, Cap and Balance, if you don't think we need to cut spending, cap spending and balance our budget, then show us your alternative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Or maybe you do believe we need to cut, cap and balance, but you don't like the way this bill cuts spending, caps spending and balances spending. Fine. Offer your version of Cut, Cap and Balance. Let's proceed to this bill. Let's get on this bill that the House has passed and if you don't like it, change it. You've got the votes here to do it. If you've got a better, bring this bill up and amend it. Put your ideas on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But how could you ask for compromise? How could you ask the House-- how could you scold Republicans in the House for refusing to compromise if you don't have a plan of your own? How can you compromise if you don't have any ideas of your own? It's not a fair thing to say. And so I would urge the leadership of this chamber and the President of the United States to offer their ideas on paper. Put your ideas on paper and offer them so we can begin to work on this concept of compromise that you've offered. Because you can't compromise and you can't negotiate with people that will not offer a plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Let's get -- why don't you vote to proceed to cut, cap and balance? Proceed to this bill so we could have a debate on this bill and so you could offer your ideas on this bill. This is the perfect opportunity to do it. Let's stop negotiating in the media and through press conferences and start doing it here on this floor, which is what people sent us here to do."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Newsbusters, I’ve seen this great stuff from Mark Steyn:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As I said, these are structural problems. In theory, they can be fixed. But, when you look at the nature of them, you’ve got to wonder whether they ever will be this side of societal collapse. Blockbuster went bankrupt because it was wedded to a 1980s technology and distribution system. In government, being merely a quarter-century obsolete would be a major achievement. The ruling party in Washington is wedded to the principle that an 80-year-old social program is inviolable: That’s like Blockbuster insisting in 2011 that there’s no problem with its business model for rentals of silent movies with live orchestral accompaniment. To be sure, there are some problems parking the musicians’ bus in residential streets, but nothing that can’t be worked out.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Obama ... claimed to have a $4 trillion deficit-reduction plan. The court eunuchs of the press corps were impressed, and went off to file pieces hailing the president as "the grown-up in the room." There is, in fact, no plan. No plan at all. No plan whatsoever, either for a deficit reduction of $4 trillion or $4.73. As is the way in Washington, merely announcing that he had a plan absolved him of the need to have one. So the president's staff got out the extra-wide teleprompter and wrote a really large number on it, and simply by reading out the really large number the president was deemed to have produced a serious blueprint for trillions of dollars in savings. For his next trick, he'll walk out on to the stage of Carnegie Hall, announce that he's going to play Haydn's Cello Concerto No 2, and, even though there's no cello in sight, and Obama immediately climbs back in his golf cart to head for the links, music critics will hail it as one of the most moving performances they've ever heard.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The only "plan" Barack Obama has put on paper is his February budget. Were there trillions and trillions of savings in that? Er, no. It increased spending and doubled the federal debt.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How about Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader? Has he got a plan? No.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“... It seems reasonable to conclude from the planlessness and budgetlessness of the Obama/Reid Democrats that their only plan is to carry on spending without limit. Otherwise, someone somewhere would surely have written something down on a piece of paper by now. But no, apparently the Department of Writing Down Plans is the only federal expense the president is willing to cut. ... the ruling party of the Brokest Nation in History has no spending plan other than to plan to spend even more. ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... The domestic media coverage of this story has been almost laughably fraudulent: To the court eunuchs, a failure to raise the debt ceiling by a couple of trillion would signal to the world that American government was embarrassingly dysfunctional. In reality, raising the debt ceiling by a couple of trillion without any spending cuts would confirm to the world that American government is terminally dysfunctional.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This folks is sheer brilliance! Straight and to the point it is the perfect illustration of what is wrong not only with our Commie leftist leaders, but D.C. and government in general! As I’ve said many times, the blame is there for all to share. It goes back 5 or 6 decades! The balloon is at the bursting point and the renegades in D.C. don’t seem to care. Insatiable lust for spending our money is all that matters! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, let me really bust the Left’s balls (although I’m not sure of that as to our President) with some wonderful thoughts from one of their worst nightmares, the great Sarah Palin! (I couldn’t resist throwing in the boogey man here)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “After listening to the President’s press conference today, let’s keep in mind the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the same president who proposed an absurdly irresponsible budget that would increase our debt by trillions of dollars, and whose party failed to even put forward a budget in over 800 days! This is the same president who is pushing our country to the brink because of his reckless spending on things like the nearly trillion dollar “stimulus” boondoggle. This is the same president who ignored his own debt commission’s recommendations and demonized the voices of fiscal sanity who proposed responsible plans to reform our entitlement programs and rein in our dangerous debt trajectory. This is the same president who wanted to push through an increase in the debt ceiling that didn’t include any cuts in government spending! This is the same president who wants to slam Americans with tax hikes to cover his reckless spending, but has threatened to veto a bill proposing a balanced budget amendment. This is the same president who hasn’t put forward a responsible plan himself, but has rejected reasonable proposals that would tackle our debt. This is the same president who still refuses to understand that the American electorate rejected his big government agenda last November. As I said in Madison, Wisconsin, at the Tax Day Tea Party rally, “We don’t want it. We can’t afford it. And we are unwilling to pay for it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, let me once again express my disdain for the atrocity that is President Obama!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man is the epitome of evil in any sense when it comes to not only his hatred of his country and its ideals, but also his complete lust for power. As stated in the Detroit Free Press, ‘Obama is insisting that the debt ceiling extension be large enough to ensure that the issue does not arise again until after the 2012 elections…” one definitely gets the impression that his only concern is keeping his position long enough to finish delivering us to his Leftist Soviet Style handlers! And make no mistake about this! The man is a hard left Socialist and a wanna be dictator! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every action he takes, every word he, his wife and his cohorts utter, every obstruction he and his lackeys put out there be it the economy, his “I’m, above the law” attitude  (let’s not forget the impeachable offense now being orchestrated by Bozo and his A.G. as to Project Gun Runner), every openly blatant lie to the electorate and every cave in to the Radical Islamic fundamentalists in supporting his open hatred for Israel and in my eyes the Jewish race in general combined with his complete disregard for our basic principles just reinforces the perception of his Socialist, dictatorship style way of governing. Mix that with an ineptness that makes Jimmy Carter look like a saint and you have the recipe for the disaster that is now facing us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s also not forget so many of the brain dead electorate who not only refused to do their homework on this idiot, but in fact still support him! Hell, the majority of Jews here in the states will would supposedly vote for him again, someone who is open in his hostility towards them! And let’s not forget the likes of Hanoi Jane, Comrades Harry and Nancy and the rest of the entrenched political scum of both parties who are more than willing to bury this great country for their own power lust! And even as I write this, millions of dollars are being funneled to his campaign from “big business and lefty millionaires! I really wonder if when God was handing out brains if these people weren’t of in the north forty or something!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a lot of blame to spread here! This man’s purpose in life is to destroy this country as we know it. He expressed this in his books, his associations with radicals of any ilk and most of all in almost every action he has taken in his so called leadership roles points to this one sad conclusion. It is there for all to see.  As such, he is in the greatest sense destroying our economy purposely so as to achieve the Soviet Style Socialist status he feels is the way to go! Again, his words actions ad associations provide more than enough proof of my statement! Why we even pay lip service to this abomination of a so called leader is beyond my comprehension!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-8863348555495618207?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/8863348555495618207/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/07/charade-known-as-budget-talks.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/8863348555495618207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/8863348555495618207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/07/charade-known-as-budget-talks.html' title='The Charade Known As The Budget Talks or &quot;Where Were You When  Country Went Belly Up?&quot;'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-1360569186309886037</id><published>2011-07-15T12:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-16T09:03:19.068-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Project Gunrunner: Coverup and Lies</title><content type='html'>As upset as I am about the deficit garbage, I’m even more pissed off as to the Project Gunrunner case that is unfolding now. For starters, we have what appears to be a completely moronic operation that went extremely bad! We then add to the mix the fact that the ATF which ran the operation had to have had the sanction of at least the DOJ and really also the President. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Attorney General Eric “The law doesn’t pertain to me” Holder denied any knowledge of the alleged gun running program as did President “how dare you insinuate I should be responsible for anything” Obama! No surprise here. But, something strange happened. A U.S. border agent was killed by one of the guns sold to Mexican Drug Cartel scum! And an even bigger surprise! CBS News actually investigated it, I’m sure much to the chagrin of the I’m above the law” President and AG. The results of the investigation by CBS have led to a Congressional investigation. And what have our wonderful officials done? Stonewall. Lie! Everything but own up to the fact that they have the blood of a decent man on their hands! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This from the same people who refused to go after the Black Panther thugs in Philly, in effect another cover up! They denied any knowledge and yet Holder apparently knew about it in 2009!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1,000’s of people have been killed, many by the guns these idiots let go over the border right after our lying leader ranted about the fact that most weapons were being purchased here and shipped to Mexico, another fabrication from Mr. Bignose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below are various items I’ve found all over the net and news:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Skookum at flopping Aces:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Attorney General Eric Holder admitted and boasted about operation “Gun Runner” on April 2, 2009 to Mexican officials in Cuernavaca, Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Curt at Flopping Aces:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In a blockbuster development in the Operation Fast &amp; Furious gun-running scandal, Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson secretly testified before House and Senate investigators on July 4 with his own personal lawyer present, former United States Attorney Richard Cullen, without the knowledge of the ATF or the Department of Justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Charles Grassley released a copy of a letter they sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on July 5 about Melson’s testimony. Melson’s revelations raise even more serious issues not only about the operation itself, but about apparent attempts by the Justice Department to mislead Congress on the details of the operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The transcript of this interview has not been released of course but the letter from Issa and Grassley is pretty startling itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…His interview had originally been scheduled through the Justice Department to occur on July 13 in the presence of DOJ and ATF counsel. As you know, however, under our agreement Department witnesses who choose to attend a voluntary interview with their own lawyer are free to exercise that right rather than participate with counsel representing the Department’s interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After being made aware of that provision of our agreement, Acting Director Melson chose to exercise that right and appeared with his own lawyer. We are disappointed that no one had previously informed him of that provision of the agreement. Instead, Justice Department officials sought to limit and control his communications with Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No evidence of cover up….yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there are two twists to this story that should ring some alarm bells.&lt;br /&gt;The first one, DOJ officials failed to tell Melson he could testify with his own lawyer instead of department lawyers.  That is curious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second twist?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was about to be ousted from his position when he tried to tell the DOJ that the ATF operation was in fact FUBAR’d&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrary to the Justice Department’s denials, according to Melson, ATF agents specifically witnessed transfers of weapons from straw purchasers to third parties without taking any further action. Melson claimed that it was not until the public disclosure of the operation that he personally reviewed the “hundreds of documents” related to the case. He said he became “sick to his stomach” when he learned the full story. Even more shocking is that some of the “gun trafficking ‘higher-ups’ that the ATF sought to identify were already known to other agencies and may even have been paid as informants” by agencies such as the FBI and the DEA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melson provided detailed information and documents to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General at the Justice Department. But that information was not given to Congress by then-Acting Deputy Attorney General James Cole. In fact, “Melson was not allowed to communicate to Congress” and “Justice Department officials directed [ATF’s senior leadership] not to respond and took full control of replying to briefing and document requests from Congress.”  According to the letter Issa and Grassley sent to Holder, it was “two days after [Melson] told [Cole] about serious issues involving lack of information sharing” that the Wall Street Journal suddenly reported that Melson was about to be ousted by the Obama administration.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Guns were found at the scene of a high profile kidnapping and murder in Mexico involved in what has been described as a government operation gone terribly wrong. This is the latest revelation in the investigation of Operation Fast and Furious. The murder of Border Agent Brian Terry, allegedly committed with these guns, has brought scrutiny to the operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William La Jeunesse confirms that two of the guns sold to the Mexican cartels under the secret U.S. government program were used in the kidnapping and murder of Mario Gonzales Rodriguez, a lawyer and brother to a prominent Mexican official.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“For an additional amount for ‘State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance’, $40,000,000, for competitive grants to provide assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to ‘Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses’ for the ATF Project Gunrunner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice that’s $40,000,000 for Southern border enforcement, $10,000,000 of which specifically for Project Gunrunner. What does $10 million pay for here?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Standing With Arizona on You Tube:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The scope of Eric Holder's disastrous 'Fast and Furious" ATF operation just keeps expanding. Now a single traffic stop in Phoenix has revealed 43 automatic weapons with serial numbers traceable to the the ATF scandal - taken from 4 illegal aliens arrested in the stop. How many AK-47s has this Administration put in the hands of gangs throughout the U.S. How many children will die in drive-bys using weapons Holder GAVE to criminals? And with the ATF Director now saying the DoJ obstructing the investigation, the House GOP must not stop until all responsible are rotting in jail. And what did Obama know and when did he know it?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Meanwhile Thursday, Mexican police released a videotaped interview of Jesus Enrique Rejon Aguilar, in which the recently captured No. 3 leader of the Los Zetas drug cartel said “all the weapons” the Zetas use were “bought in the United States” and that “even the American government itself was selling the weapons.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hume: This is a real scandal. And once again we have the classic question “what did the Attorney General, for example, know and when did he know it.” This Obama Justice Department reminds me of nothing so much as the Nixon Justice Department. You have the scent of high level knowledge, of serious wrongdoing, and you have the smell of cover-up and I think the stench of cover-up on this gunrunning operation is very strong indeed.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Virginia O’Brien, Special Agent in Charge at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Tampa Field Division, ran a gun-running investigation that was walking guns to Honduras using the techniques and tactics identical to Fast and Furious, it was reported to these correspondents this evening via private correspondence from a proven credible source.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Are high-profile suspects in Mexican drug cartels also paid informants for U.S. federal investigators? If so, could a brewing scandal in Washington implicate more U.S. agencies in the ongoing drug-related violence in Mexico?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kenneth Melson, the embattled chief of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), made the earth-shaking revelation in testimony early last week, The Times reports. Melson reportedly told congressional leaders that Mexican cartel suspects tracked by his agents in a controversial gun-tracing program were also operating as paid informants for the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the FBI.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Folks, this is a major breakdown! Not only do we have a badly run operation which resulted in murder of the most heinous kind, but even worse we have a cover up that appears to go straight to the Attorney General and the President! The stonewalling and cover up we are now seeing combined with the lies are in my mind criminal acts by Mr. Holder and the President.  The great Alan West put it best below!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Appearing on Nashville radio host Steve Gill’s show last week, West said Obama would be “complicit” with what he sees as Justice Department attempts to slow down and avoid a congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious and Project Gunrunner if he didn’t push his attorney general to resign. “The president needs to realize that Eric Holder needs to be removed from the Department of Justice,” West said after detailing why he thinks Holder should appear before an investigative committee to testify about how the DOJ has handled its response to the Operation Fast and Furious investigation. “Or else I believe president Obama is complicit and he is in approval of the actions of his Attorney General.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. West is correct but it has to go further than that! What is going on as to this is as I said criminal! In my mind, the actions of the AG along with the lawless jerk in the White House in fact constitutes an impeachable offense! People died because of this operation and in turn people are lying! Testimony has been given that ATF and others were told to stonewall and dodge! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have ranted more than once about President Scumball, but this is the absolute bottom of the barrel! Of course, the deficit B.S. is putting a blanket over this story, but it must be made public. The electorate needs to know this President is a law breaking piece of crap! And thanks to him and his out of touch administration and DOJ, innocent people have been killed. This President as well as his selected officials disgust me! They have taken this country to the bottom of the barrel both respect wise and honor wise.

One is Project Gunrunner , the idiotic plan by the ATF that was sanctioned by the DOJ and thus also the President which resulted in the death of a U.S. Border agent as well as God knows how many Mexicans! This as all now know is being covered up by this lawless administration and I will discuss it in a later post today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number two and easily one of the most insidious things that has happened to our country in its history is the current budget/debt debacle!  Here we have a President who thinks the only way is his way, truly believes he must keep spending more than there is to spend and clearly does not have the good of the country as his first concern. The lies and hypocrisy from this Commie clown are bad enough, but the fact that there are scum politicians on both sides of the aisle that actually want go along with this disaster in the making is far and beyond my comprehension to be sure. Of course, maybe it’s the fact that according Comrade Obama , I and for that matter all of the electorate are too Damn Stupid to understand the idea of budgets and deficit spending! After all, he made that very clear in his own asinine words!&lt;br /&gt;“So… the the American people are misinformed if not incapable of absorbing matters beyond the narrow, personal sphere. It’s the ‘What’s the Matter with Kansas?’ answer. You don’t know what is good for you. If you knew, you’d agree with me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “Let me distinguish between professional politicians and the public at large. You know, the public is not paying close attention to the ins and outs of how a Treasury auction goes. They shouldn’t. They’re worrying about their family, they’re worrying about their jobs. They’re worrying about their neighborhood. They have got a lot of other things on their plate. We’re paid to worry about it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve ranted in the past as to the sheer disdain this moron has for the electorate in general. He went on to say that this is a job for “professional politicians” and the public should let them do their work and in effect keep their opinions to themselves. There’s a calming thought for us all! Let the idiots who have destroyed almost everything we hold dear continue on their merry way. “We the People” are too busy or dumb to know any better. As much as I hate to say it, there is a bit of truth in that. The electorate as I have said in the past keeps putting its collective heads up their asses and votes for the lying scum that now infests the great halls in D.C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One wishes they could find something good in what’s going on now, but instead we get more incredible B.S. as below!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mr. Obama pledged that he was "ready to roll up his sleeves" and get to work on the economy that he's presided over for 2.5 years.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MORON ALERT! What the hell has he been doing for the last two years? Now that his policies have basically bankrupt the nation, he wants to get serious? What exactly is serious to this idiot? “Spend more non-existent money?”  Phony cuts that don’t even take effect for years?  Same old crap as before because that is exactly what he is pushing in these phony budget talks that are being held so as to give him ammo to rake the opposition over the coals along with his pawns, the MSM! Speaking of the charade known as the budget talks, we have this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“He became very agitated, said ‘Ronald Reagan wouldn’t sit here. You either have to compromise on the dollar figure or the grand bargain,’” Cantor said. “He said, ‘Don’t call my bluff. I’m going to the American people on this.’”&lt;br /&gt;"I've reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this," Obama said, according to a Republican aide.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Washington Posts’ Jennifer Rubin posted this on their blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today’s White House meeting suggests there is no deal remotely in sight on the debt ceiling. A GOP aide familiar with the talks told me, “Today was the most tense meeting of the week. In fact, the president ended the meeting by abruptly leaving the room. During the meeting, the speaker challenged the president to offer real spending cuts. He said the gimmicks and accounting tricks that Washington has used for decades are not applicable here.” House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has had enough. “When White House officials attempted to justify budgetary gimmicks, the speaker said pointedly ‘We’re not doing that anymore.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, how could we not get an asinine remark from Chairman Harry as to the situation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says House Majority Leader Eric Cantor should not be part of the debt limit negotiations. He’s calling the Virginia Republican congressman “childish.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reid says Cantor’s conduct during the sensitive White House talks have shown, in Reid’s words, “he shouldn’t even be at the table.” Reid says other congressional leaders are negotiating in good faith as an Aug. 2 deadline approaches for raising the debt limit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This from a certified out of touch idiot who just yesterday called Tea Party followers “Garbage”! One should not be surprised at this. After all, Comrade Harry certainly is in lockstep with Herr Obama as to his feelings about the dumb American electorate! Maybe if they’d stop talking down to their employer, (that’s the American Taxpaying Citizens for those of you out there who are to ignorant to realize that) and do the good of the country, we might in fact respect their opinions! But to have these lying scumbags lecture us about our so called ignorance when in fact they are destroying our economic base is pure tripe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course they couldn’t leave it at that! No Sir! A few people have floated the idea of a balanced budget amendment, something of course that was met with the usual histrionics from the left. I didn’t think they could get anymore moronic than what we’ve already seen, but sure enough another statement straight from the rear end!&lt;br /&gt;“The fact is that the balanced budget amendment would be, is basically an admission by Congress that they can’t do anything, right?” Carney said. “And that’s not true, as [evidenced by] these discussions that we’re engaged in right now. And it should not be true. And it’s a shame if people actually believe that. So no, we don’t support it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is that Congress needs to come up with a solution to budget deficits and long-term debt, he said, not punt the issue to the Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such an amendment “is not good for the economy; it doesn’t answer the problem, and we need to act because we are capable to doing the work that the American people sent us here to do,” Carney said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MORON ALERT 2! Congress as a whole has steadfastly refused to do their job as to the budgeting process. Every elected official of either party for the last twenty years or more is guilty of complete dereliction of duty when it comes to the deficit if they voted to overspend. Doesn’t matter what party and as we’re seeing now, spineless Republicans only worried about their power are every bit responsible as the loonies on the left! As one can assume Carney is speaking for the President, one must also assume the President is completely oblivious to the fact that Congress and both he and past Presidents refuse to do their job! Mr. Carney, not only hasn’t Congress done anything right as you state, but neither has the bonehead that you work for! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democratic (or should I say Soviet Socialist Party of the U.S.?)  Party has not even bothered to act on a budget in over two years! And in that time they had an unbeatable majority in both houses! Yet, they insisted the Republicans, spineless wimps that they are in effect stopped any budget process. Or as I would say they lied as the sacks of crap they really are! And for what? Rush as shown below is correct! The President as leader of the Democratic party and more so as the supposed leader of our country should have at least forced his party to do their Constitutional duty! But that would be against his plan to destroy this nation as we know it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Rush:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have no specifics. They have no budget. Nor does Obama, other than this monstrosity from last February with a $3.7 trillion budget that not even one Democrat voted for. Other than that, they don't have one -- on purpose -- so that the only numbers out there are Republican numbers that they can demagogue. That's the strategy. So if Senate Democrats don't have to project spending and revenues -- if they can just choose not to in violation of the law -- then why should I have to pay quarterly taxes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Its 806 days, ladies and gentlemen, since Senate Democrats -- and they run the place -- have passed a budget. There are 365 days in a year. So it's well over two years since the Democrats, who run the place, have passed a budget. The law requires them to pass a budget every year. Eight hundred six days and counting –"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gotta give him credit though! He can come out and do his usual class warfare let’s scare the Seniors thing as to non-payment of Social Security if we default. And yesterday, both him and Boener said the money for that in the end comes from the general fund. You know! The program that supposedly has its own trust fund? Oops! Forgot, that money was stolen for other asinine purposes years ago! However, the lies continue as Social Security can be paid!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From John Hawkins at Right Wing News:&lt;br /&gt;Social Security benefits are entirely self-financing. They are paid for with payroll taxes collected from workers and their employers throughout their careers. These taxes are placed in a trust fund dedicated to paying benefits owed to current and future beneficiaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most editorials are accompanied by an opposing view — a unique USA TODAY feature that allows readers to reach conclusions based on both sides of an argument rather than just the Editorial Board’s point of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When more taxes are collected than are needed to pay benefits, funds are converted to Treasury bonds — backed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. government — and are held in reserve for when revenue collected is not enough to pay the benefits due. We have just as much obligation to pay back those bonds with interest as we do to any other bondholders. The trust fund is the backbone of an important compact: that a lifetime of work will ensure dignity in retirement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the most recent report of the independent Social Security Trustees, the trust fund is currently in surplus and growing. Even though Social Security began collecting less in taxes than it paid in benefits in 2010, the trust fund will continue to accrue interest and grow until 2025, and will have adequate resources to pay full benefits for the next 26 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny thing about that; Barack Obama is claiming (falsely, but still) that if the debt ceiling isn’t raised, we may not have the money to send out Social Security checks NEXT MONTH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s how President Barack Obama answered CBS’s Scott Pelley’s question about whether he could guarantee that Social Security checks would go out on August 3, the day after the government is supposed to reach its debt limit: “I cannot guarantee that those checks [he included veterans and the disabled, in addition to Social Security] go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner echoed the president on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday implying that if a budget deal isn’t reached by August 2, seniors might not get their Social Security checks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As shown below, the President is full of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The BPC study found that the United States is likely to hit the debt limit sometime between August 2 and August 9. “It’s a 44 percent overnight cut in federal spending” if Congress hits the debt limit, [Jay Powell of the Bipartisan Policy Center]said. The BPC study projects there will be $172 billion in federal revenues in August and $307 billion in authorized expenditures. That means there's enough money to pay for, say, interest on the debt ($29 billion), Social Security ($49.2 billion), Medicare and Medicaid ($50 billion), active duty troop pay ($2.9 billion), veterans affairs programs ($2.9 billion).&lt;br /&gt;That leaves about $39 billion to fund other things.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When is this going to stop! The electorate has got to get their heads out of the sand and react to the sheer disrespect these clowns have for us? Wake up America! You are being fed propaganda of the worst kind! While President Bozo first fiddles than pretends to take action, the country is dying!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-3378898538806875688?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/3378898538806875688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/07/budgetdeficit-charade-or-as-i-like-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3378898538806875688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3378898538806875688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/07/budgetdeficit-charade-or-as-i-like-to.html' title='The Budget/Deficit Charade or As I Like To Call It &quot;What LEadership?'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-5836806948403751932</id><published>2011-07-04T08:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-04T09:02:37.596-07:00</updated><title type='text'>HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!</title><content type='html'>There are many great documents that have been generated through the course of history. The works of Plato, Socrates, etc. come to mind. The Magna Carta of course was another great document. But there has never been in the history of mankind any greater document than the one cited below combined with the Federalist Papers and our Constitution!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are not just mere pieces of paper with scribbled words or thoughts. These documents are the basis of the greatest country this world has ever known! The men who wrote these words were not perfect! They were men! That’s all. Yet they had the common sense to realize what Freedom should be and set up the framework for our liberty and self expression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men and women put their life on the line to afford us our Freedoms! Our forefathers risked all! My father and step-fathers fought for our country and our freedoms. Even now, we have our people in harm’s way defending this precious thing called Freedom! &lt;br /&gt;Because of this, we have a country that in theory allows all points of view to be aired! At least that’s the way it is supposed to be! Yet not only do we now have government entities and in effect a wanna be dictator telling us what we can think and do, we have an open hatred for our country’s basic principles being expressed from the President on down! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Br it jealousy, lust for power, religious fanaticism, Hard Left Socialism or whatever, there is a concerted effort to destroy our country both from outside and within! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet through all of this, millions of people from around the world want to come here! (Neil Diamond’s great song, AMERICA! Says it all, doesn’t it?) They want the Freedoms and Liberties that what appears to be the vast majority of citizens here have come to taken for granted, so much so that the electorate has chosen to accept lies and control over every facet of their lives. I’ve cited before my friend from the old USSR who asks how we refuse to learn from history! How can we not understand the very basics which make our country great! How can we be turning to the very systems that millions of people including him are trying to escape from!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love of country isn't a joke! Love of country is a real, live emotion! On this Independence Day weekend, all of us need to remember that!  Somehow, some way we need to go back to our roots! The words below as well as our other great documents are the guide lines that made us great when we in fact followed them! And yes, Revolution is part of this! We can revolt through the ballot box as I have said countless times before!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this Independence Day 2011, let me give my prayers and thanks to our forefathers for handing us this great country.  My prayers and thanks to our fighting men and women for giving their lives to keep me and my countrymen free! May God Bless America! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now beseech all too once again read, I mean really read the stirring words of our Declaration of Independence! The path to Liberty was and is a brutal fight in many ways, but the rewards are just! We as a country must get our hearts back! There is no better way to start than to reacquaint ourselves with our basic principles. Our future as a country depends on this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                   THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.&lt;br /&gt;The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,&lt;br /&gt;When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.&lt;br /&gt;He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.&lt;br /&gt;He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. &lt;br /&gt;He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.&lt;br /&gt;He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.&lt;br /&gt;He has kept amo&lt;br /&gt;ng us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.&lt;br /&gt;He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:&lt;br /&gt;For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:&lt;br /&gt;For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:&lt;br /&gt;For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:&lt;br /&gt;For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: &lt;br /&gt;For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:&lt;br /&gt;For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences&lt;br /&gt;For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:&lt;br /&gt;For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:&lt;br /&gt;For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty &amp; perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;The 56 signatures on the Declaration appear in the positions indicated:&lt;br /&gt;Column 1&lt;br /&gt;Georgia:&lt;br /&gt;   Button Gwinnett&lt;br /&gt;   Lyman Hall&lt;br /&gt;   George Walton&lt;br /&gt;Column 2&lt;br /&gt;North Carolina:&lt;br /&gt;   William Hooper&lt;br /&gt;   Joseph Hewes&lt;br /&gt;   John Penn&lt;br /&gt;South Carolina:&lt;br /&gt;   Edward Rutledge&lt;br /&gt;   Thomas Heyward, Jr.&lt;br /&gt;   Thomas Lynch, Jr.&lt;br /&gt;   Arthur Middleton&lt;br /&gt;Column 3&lt;br /&gt;Massachusetts:&lt;br /&gt;John Hancock&lt;br /&gt;Maryland:&lt;br /&gt;Samuel Chase&lt;br /&gt;William Paca&lt;br /&gt;Thomas Stone&lt;br /&gt;Charles Carroll of Carrollton&lt;br /&gt;Virginia:&lt;br /&gt;George Wythe&lt;br /&gt;Richard Henry Lee&lt;br /&gt;Thomas Jefferson&lt;br /&gt;Benjamin Harrison&lt;br /&gt;Thomas Nelson, Jr.&lt;br /&gt;Francis Lightfoot Lee&lt;br /&gt;Carter Braxton&lt;br /&gt;Column 4&lt;br /&gt;Pennsylvania:&lt;br /&gt;   Robert Morris&lt;br /&gt;   Benjamin Rush&lt;br /&gt;   Benjamin Franklin&lt;br /&gt;   John Morton&lt;br /&gt;   George Clymer&lt;br /&gt;   James Smith&lt;br /&gt;   George Taylor&lt;br /&gt;   James Wilson&lt;br /&gt;   George Ross&lt;br /&gt;Delaware:&lt;br /&gt;   Caesar Rodney&lt;br /&gt;   George Read&lt;br /&gt;   Thomas McKean&lt;br /&gt;Column 5&lt;br /&gt;New York:&lt;br /&gt;   William Floyd&lt;br /&gt;   Philip Livingston&lt;br /&gt;   Francis Lewis&lt;br /&gt;   Lewis Morris&lt;br /&gt;New Jersey:&lt;br /&gt;   Richard Stockton&lt;br /&gt;   John Witherspoon&lt;br /&gt;   Francis Hopkinson&lt;br /&gt;   John Hart&lt;br /&gt;   Abraham Clark&lt;br /&gt;Column 6&lt;br /&gt;New Hampshire:&lt;br /&gt;   Josiah Bartlett&lt;br /&gt;   William Whipple&lt;br /&gt;Massachusetts:&lt;br /&gt;   Samuel Adams&lt;br /&gt;   John Adams&lt;br /&gt;   Robert Treat Paine&lt;br /&gt;   Elbridge Gerry&lt;br /&gt;Rhode Island:&lt;br /&gt;   Stephen Hopkins&lt;br /&gt;   William Ellery&lt;br /&gt;Connecticut:&lt;br /&gt;   Roger Sherman&lt;br /&gt;   Samuel Huntington&lt;br /&gt;   William Williams&lt;br /&gt;   Oliver Wolcott&lt;br /&gt;New Hampshire:&lt;br /&gt;   Matthew Thornton&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-5836806948403751932?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/5836806948403751932/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/07/happy-independence-day.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/5836806948403751932'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/5836806948403751932'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/07/happy-independence-day.html' title='HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-8740209339442673522</id><published>2011-06-26T11:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T13:02:33.422-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Rants, Raves and Moron Alerts! More Lies, Deciet and B.S.</title><content type='html'>Thanks to what has been for want of better words, a bad two weeks (this includes a death in the family) I am as I said in my earlier post today in a somewhat cross mood. Actually, that would be an open lie because in fact I am really pissed at things in general, especially as it pertains th the lying sacks of crap known as our President, A.G. Holder and the rest of the entrenched scum in D.C. that the American electorate with its head deeply up its ass, keeps sending to D.C. to “lead us”!  These clowns are leading us? You’re damned right they are, leading us into the trash heap of history!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the last couple of weeks, I have followed and compiled a list of the incredible lies, misleading information and hypocrisy emanating from our so called leaders. It starts with Comrade Obama, one who is openly against the very ideals that built this country, members of his administration such as the openly racist A.G. holder who also feels he is not accountable to anyone to way too many members of Congress on both sides of the aisle as well as to a co-opted MSM. And while I’m at it, let’s not forget activist judges who create their own law out of nothing at the bequest of a limp wristed (I know I’ll hear from our PC Correct folks on that one. LOL! Too Bad!) Congress that doesn’t have the balls to openly enact a law that might cost them their power which is what it’s all about in the first place!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As such, let’s go on a thrill ride of lies and deceit as put forth by our esteemed leaders. By the way, one can assume I am putting forth numerous Moron Alerts for those who are lost in space so to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s start with the war being waged on Libya. The President, a man who feels the law is beneath him as he is all powerful has been brought to task for not adhering to the War Powers Act (something that I by the way feel is unconstitutional but is in fact the law of the land). As the date arrived for him to justify his actions to Congress, his administration came up with this incredible bull shit! (Apologies here. I most likely will be quite crass today, but I want it exactly as I feel).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In contending that the limited American role did not oblige the administration to ask for authorization under the War Powers Resolution, the report asserted that “U.S. operations do not involve sustained fighting or active exchanges of fire with hostile forces, nor do they involve U.S. ground troops.” Still, the White House acknowledged, the operation has cost the Pentagon $716 million in its first two months and will have cost $1.1 billion by September at the current scale of operations.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moron alert!!! We are using our drones in this action! We are bombing Libya with NATO! Every drone or bomb dropped that is U.S. owned is being used to commit a wartime act!  Yet as usual, this administration led by a so called constitutional lawyer and a bad one at that, chooses to feed everyone a line of crap! Add to that the fact that they choose to ignore the exact same conditions in Syria and also feed us a line of crap and one has to wonder exactly where this clown’s head really is!&lt;br /&gt;One of course should not be surprised that His Royal Dumbness would in fact flaunt his open disregard for the laws of the land. After all as I said above, he himself claims as much as do his cronies in the MSM. As such, I’m sure one should never question this when in his own words, we get the following!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it is an imperfect document, and I think it is a document that reflects some deep flaws.” &lt;br /&gt;– Barack Obama on the United States Constitution, (Sept. 2001).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moron Alert!  Imperfect document!?  Who in the hell does he and his wife (after all, she fiercely is against everything we stand for as a country) think they are?  The only thing imperfect here is this idiots complete disregard for our founding principles!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let’s talk about our borders, you know, the ones that are now safe and secure! We of course have Operation Gunrunner. In this adventure, against the advice of Border Agents, the Justice Department  allowed arms to be sold to Mexican scum so the arms could be tracked.  Excuse me while I choke. Among other things, a border Control agent was shot and killed by one of those weapons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Fox News)" A hearing in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is laying the groundwork to compel U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to turn over documents related to "Operation Fast and Furious," a secret Obama administration program that put thousands of guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast and Furious aimed to track gun sales to Mexico, allegedly, say critics of the program, to build up evidence to publicly blame cartel violence on U.S. gun store owners and lax American gun laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past two months, the Department of Justice, on behalf of ATF, has ignored subpoenas and seven letters demanding details of the program. It has refused to provide a single document to the oversight committee, according to chairman Darrell Issa."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as I write this, the A.G. is still stonewalling and both he and his master refuse to acknowledge any idea this was going on. However, one of the agencies involved is firing the one of the whistle blowers who brought this to the country’s attention. Not surprising for this bunch now is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it gets better! Janet Napolitano once again declares our borders safe. And yet just the other day, we get this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(KGNS) –A convoy of three military trucks loaded with Mexican soldiers crosses the border at Bridge Number Two clearly violating international law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It happens as Customs and Border Protection inspectors try to figure out what to do.&lt;br /&gt;A CBP spokesperson says they got on the phone with Mexican authorities after being alerted that the military trucks were heading their direction loaded down with soldiers and weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mexican leaders say the soldiers, who had just been deployed to Nuevo Laredo, didn’t know the area, got lost and then made their way through Bridge Two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And let’s not forget our traitor in chief has ordered ICE to in effect stop arresting Illegal Aliens (oops, more political incorrectness!  Forgot. Illegal doesn’t mean that if President Bozo says so).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And how can one not be assured all is well on the border when the man who refuses to prosecute any crime it seems if committed by a Black (there is written documentation that the J.D. was ordered to do this) or Hispanic issues a completely asinine statement as below! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holderism(my terminology):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I know that – in distant countries, and within our own borders – there are people intent on, and actively plotting to, kill Americans,” he told his legal peers in the enthusiastic audience. “Victory and security will not come easily, and they won’t come at all if we adhere to a rigid ideology, adopt a narrow methodology, or abandon our most effective terror-fighting weapon – our Article III [civil] court system,”&lt;br /&gt;So in one fell swoop we have the A.G. effectively espousing not only unsafe open borders, but overt support for fanatical terrorists who’s only aim is destruction of this country and Western Civilization as we know it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below, more Bull from the administration and its lackeys as to the economy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don’t go to a bank teller, or you go to the airport and you’re using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate,” Obama said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about this when the Chief of Staff was being questioned by business leaders? At least a shred of truth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Daley said he did not have many good answers, appearing to throw up his hands in frustration at what he called “bureaucratic stuff that’s hard to defend.”&lt;br /&gt;“Sometimes you can’t defend the indefensible,” he said.”&lt;br /&gt;And of course, let’s not leave this go without a little more B.S from King Obama!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama said, “If you were looking for a bunch of partisan rhetoric, I’m probably not your guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“My job over these first two years has frankly been to clean up a big mess,” Mr. Obama said at a $10,000-per-ticket event at a gated mansion in Miami Beach.  “We were able to make sure we yanked an economy out of what could have been a second Great Depression.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have a better plane” than when he visited the same plant three years ago as a presidential candidate.” and “I travel with a bigger entourage” than he did as a candidate. “I brought some folks with me.  You know, I travel with a bigger entourage these days than I did three years ago’.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"There are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery," President Obama said at a Jeep plant in Toledo the other day. "We're going to pass through some rough terrain that even a Wrangler would have a tough time with."&lt;br /&gt;More idiocy from various members of the left!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Jim Clyburn ,Dem Congressman: Obama Doesn't Have "Time" For Debt Negotiations &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The president has much more to do with his time, and that's why you have a Vice President."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In prepared remarks for Monday’s event, budget director Jacob Lew said wasting taxpayer dollars through inefficiency “is particularly offensive at a time of such fiscal challenges.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ Debbie Wasserman Schultz – We (Democrats) turned this economy around” (right into the crapper! My quote)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responding to DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s comment that Democrats “own” the economy, Carney offered: “We all own the economy. We all work together in Washington to devise policies to improve the economic situation.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if that isn’t bad enough, during hearings in the house, we had this exchange:&lt;br /&gt;“Testifying to the House Budget Committee on the growing federal debt, Ryan, the chairman, asked the director of the non-partisan office if his staff "scored" Obama's budget address in April — when the President laid out his 12-year budget framework.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elmendorf gave Republicans the soundbite they've always wanted in order to criticize Obama's lofty — and sometimes empty — rhetoric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We don't estimate speeches," Elmendorf said. "We need much more specificity than was provided in that speech for us to do our analysis."&lt;br /&gt;Finally today, I want to address the NLRB’s completely illegal action against Boeing! The great Charles Krauthammer wrote the following as to the suit brought against Boeing for opening another plant to build jetliners!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Krauthammer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But Democratic fealty to unions does not stop there. Boeing has just completed a production facility in South Carolina for its new 787 Dreamliner. The National Labor Relations Board, stacked with Democrats — including one former union lawyer considered so partisan that he required a recess appointment after the Senate refused to confirm him — is trying to get the plant declared illegal. Why? Because by choosing right-to-work South Carolina, Boeing is accused of retaliating against its unionized Washington state workers for previous strikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, Boeing has increased unionized employment by more than 2,000 at its Puget Sound plant. Moreover, the idea that a company in a unionized state can thus be prohibited from expanding into right-to-work states by a partisan regulatory body is quite insane. It violates the fundamental principle in a free-market economy that companies can move and build in response to market conditions, rather than administrative fiat. It jeopardizes the economic recovery, not only targeting America’s single largest exporter in its attempt to compete with Airbus for a huge global market, but also threatening any other company that might think of expanding in any way displeasing to unions and their NLRB patrons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has been utterly silent in the Boeing affair, which is understood by all as tacit approval. He’s facing reelection next year. And Democrats need unions.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a response to Darrel Issa as to questions about this blatant attempt at Union thuggery that appears to be openly supported by our Commie leaning President (you know, the clown who swears he is turning the economy around while prosecuting companies that are actually creating jobs all for his union bosses) we have below one of the most incredible lines of bull shit I have seen in quite some time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The timing of the hearing, your insistence on (National Labor Relations Board Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon’s) personal appearance, and the nature of your June 14 letter indicate a serious potential for improper interference with a pending case involving private parties and a disturbing disregard for what that interference could mean for the due process rights of those parties. ... you have demanded internal deliberative documents from Mr. Solomon that could include, among other things, documents revealing the prosecution's trial strategy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Letter from Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, obtained by FOX Business Network, blasting Chairman Darrell Issa for holding a hearing about the NLRB’s effort to stop Boeing from expanding a South Carolina plant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moron Alert! Who in hell gave these assholes the right to tell any company where they can build a plant or their business. Since when is it that the government can force a company to be Union? Since when is it the role of government to stop any company from moving to another state or venue, unions be damned! And in this case, union jobs were actually added to at the old site. How in the hell does the NLRB have any jurisdiction in this when in fact they are subverting the very foundations of Free Enterprise and in fact breaking the law of the land in doing so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oops! I forgot again. The Obama administration is above the law, as are Illegal Aliens, Unions and anyone else who happily kisses King Obama’s hand! Mexican drug smugglers can now openly cross the border without fear! Look in Chicago where black gangs are robbing people openly (Moron Alert! Look at the videos! I don’t want to hear any bull shit about racial profiling! The videos, of which there are many, clearly show black gangs! A picture is fact folks! Those of you politically correct morons out there had better open your eyes and quick!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And before I leave this and settle down, let’s not leave out the entrenched politicians on both sides as far as the disdain I hold for their dereliction of duty. Entrenched Rhinos as they are called are very bit to blame for the coming downfall of our country as are those on the far left! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope one can at least sense what I’m trying to get at here! Our country is in deep danger of falling not only into third world status as folks like Obama and Al Gore would like, but is in fact on the precipice of becoming a dictatorship! This isn’t Chicken Little yelling the sky is falling! This is fact. We the People have to get our heads out of our asses and return to the values and ideals that made our country great. The current leadership is not the answer! Good Grief kids! The people are the government, not the leaders. When did we lose sight of that? When did we become a nation with its hands out, only taking and refusing to take even a bit of responsibility for our own actions? When did we as a nation decide  failures of past nations and systems are better than the liberties and opportunities afforded us under our Constitution, a document that appears to be reviled by the very people who are sworn to defend it and abide by its guiding principles! Why are we slipping into Soviet (By Soviet, I mean the dictatorship that was the Soviet Unino1 for those idiots out there who worship that form of government, ask someone who lived under it how great it was!) style Socialism and why are We the People allowing it? Why don’t we adhere to what made us who we are?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My country is going to hell! I am afraid my grandchildren are going to be living under the yoke of a Soviet style tyranny, courtesy of our leftist President, a person who if anyone had bothered to really check it openly expressed his admiration for and his adherence to that form of government! We have to stop it now!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-8740209339442673522?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/8740209339442673522/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/06/rants-raves-and-moron-alerts-more-lies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/8740209339442673522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/8740209339442673522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/06/rants-raves-and-moron-alerts-more-lies.html' title='Rants, Raves and Moron Alerts!

Queen Obama Thanks The Propaganda Industry Known As The Free Press. LOL!</title><content type='html'>I have in the past railed quite frequently as to the co-opted media that is in lockstep with this Anti-American ideal President leading the charge to our country's disintegration as we know it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day, a rather remarkable snippet came up on CNN as most know by now as they were interviewing our First Lady or as I call her, Queen Obama!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From CNN:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    CNN’s Robyn Curnow: “How’s the family ready for this [the election]? It’s going to be quite vicious, isn’t it? How do you prepare for that?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Michelle Obama: “You know, it’s … we’re ready, you know. Our children, you know, could care less about what we’re doing. We work hard to do that. Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I’m very grateful for the support and kindness that we’ve gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband’s policies or what have you, they care about children and that’s been good to see.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I am in what one would call an extremely cross mood (oh, the adjective I really want to use there!), it set me off as usual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You know”, You know” I for one don’t give a hoot about the fact she talks like the typical street person instead of a supposed educated lawyer type. I’m more concerned about this! “Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I’m very grateful for the support and kindness that we’ve gotten.” The fact that she openly confirms everything as to the main stream press is beyond comprehension. Are they now so secure in their thought of inherent right to their monarchy that they now throw the fact in our faces that there is in fact a co-opted press that they have paid for and own? Her contempt for us mere mortals is now complete to the point that she sticks it in our face that the propaganda industry will continue to lie and cover for her and her leftist husband?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I for one will agree with her on one thing as a parent. Leave the kids alone! However, I notice Her Royal Blindness couldn’t at least throw out a Bull Sh.. line of something to the effect of “maybe all children of politicians (on both sides of the aisle!) should be left alone”. No Sir! Not Queen Michelle or any leftist scumbag for that matter! (One point here. Too many in the media on both sides have been guilty of this in the past! In my view, the left just seems to be extremely more vicious in their attacks and are also the first to point fingers when they are usually the ones that are getting caught)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It must be nice to be able to not only have a propaganda industry that will protect you or yours while that same agency ruthlessly attacks anyone who, in a country that is supposed to at least respect opposite opinions, in fact stands up to the lies and hypocrisy. Of course, the families of good decent citizens can be attacked openly and is in fact condoned by this corrupt administration starting with the “we think we’re royalty so the rest of you be DAMNED!” first family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disgusting hypocrisy! Even more disgusting open disdain for the American people in general all on display! And they are proud of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you listening America, or are you in fact grateful for the putrid crumbs of compassion and such coming down from the "monarchs in their minds" leaders starting with our Marxist/Leninist President and his queen? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree the kids should be left alone! There are circumstances however that stop that. Take Mcain's daughter. She injected herself into the limelight. That makes her fair game. But as most people bring up, what about Sarah Palin's kids, especially Trig? The hate and vitriol from the MSM is astounding! Yet not a peep from hardly anyone, least of all the First Bimbo (that's aimed at you PC correct morons out there)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here was a chance for the First Lady to stand for something that counts (don't forget, she really doesn't think much of our country or our founding ideals as she made perfectly clear many times)! But, as usual, she chose to only be concerned with herself as most people who think they are above we mere mortals do! Comrade Obama and his Queen are an embarrassment to our country and it's ideals! The fact that the press is in the forefront of pushing such only makes it worse!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-4101460271286957807?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/4101460271286957807/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/06/moron-alert-queen-obama-thanks.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4101460271286957807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4101460271286957807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/06/moron-alert-queen-obama-thanks.html' title='Moron Alert!

As all know, I and others have railed on and on about this President and his disdain for the laws under which we live as pertaining to him. Combine that with the lies and ineptness shown by this clown not only in foreign policy, but everything pertaining to this country's present and future, one has the feeling the brain dead electorate in fact elected a czar or a dictator ala Chavez. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I for one solemnly believe this man is a hard core Soviet style leftist Socialist. furthermore, his words and actions support this contention. He hates Israel! He hates anyone who would dare question his deity! He certainly considers the Constitution nothing more than a piece of toilet paper as evidenced below!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think it is an imperfect document, and I think it is a document that reflects some deep flaws.” &lt;br /&gt;– Barack Obama on the United States Constitution, (Sept. 2001).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Alan Caruba’s Warning Signs blog , there is the following statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When republics begin to ignore their founding documents, they are literally committing suicide and, in Obama’s case, it is an assisted suicide.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I agree with him as to the assisted suicide term, the facts are much deeper in this case. We have a President who in openly choosing to ignore our founding documents (something that was there for all to see if a deaf and blind brain dead electorate had bothered to ignore the lies and look!) destroying our country from within! Are We the People going to stop this? I wonder when we numbly march to the polls (those that even bother) and keep electing lying scumballs from both sides who don’t give one damn about our ideals! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As amazing as it was to watch Bill Clinton come up with new definitions and/or parse words as to his actions, he is an absolute amateur compared to this lying sack of S…. who is the current inhabitant of the White House!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This guy doesn’t even try to conceal his complete and utter disdain for the law if it doesn’t suit him. He is in his mind a god or something and certainly feels we mortals are to stupid and beneath him to question his elitist brilliance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is about a man who is against everything this country stands for! I will, as I said above go into much greater detail on this. This is a warning! The future of our country and way of life, our freedoms and our childrens depend on all the people understanding we are being delivered to the Third World by Obama! Lies, race, bias or whatever. It's all part of the plan to destroy us from within.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-2562462863714738417?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/2562462863714738417/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/06/quick-word-as-to-our-anti-american.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/2562462863714738417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/2562462863714738417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/06/quick-word-as-to-our-anti-american.html' title='A Quick Word As To Our Anti-American Ideals President'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-9045784458939431542</id><published>2011-05-30T06:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-30T07:25:42.303-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Memorial Day - 2011</title><content type='html'>Today as we all should know is Memorial Day. Sadly, there are far to many people, some old, many young who for whatever reasons choose to vilify our Armed Forces. Be it the anti-ROTC nuts on the campuses around the country, to the now indoctrinated mind numbed robots being turned out by our schools, to our leaders, many who are so blind to our basic ideals they choose cut down our military, to the fervent anti-American, hard left, or radical Muslim (I could go on and on)elements, these people all forget one important fact!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The men and women of our armed services have laid their lives on the line to not only protect our country, but the rights of all of us. As such, the people who opt to demean, badmouth or debase our military, our President or each other are allowed to do this thanks largely in part to the sacrifices of our fighting forces! Our most sacred rights, Free Speech and the Free Vote have been established and protected by these fine folks! Many have paid the ultimate price. Many are injured and scarred. Yet all gave to their country! Now, in this day and age, soldiering is voluntary, yet thousands still choose to serve their country!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I wonder sometimes just how so many of us refuse to recognize not only our basic ideals, but also the people who have sacrificed so much, I also realize that this is what can happen in a free society, one that has as one of its basic tenets the rights of all to share their ideas with all, boneheaded or not! But the utter disdain and vilification aimed at our soldiers is uncalled for and asinine!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the bottom of my heart, I thank all who have given their service in order so I and all can live our lives in the greatest country the world has ever known! I am allowed to state this as I am right now due to the efforts of those who not only came before me, going back to our founding father's time to now,but every man and woman who has fought for my country!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The founders defined the basic tenets we now live under, but men and women had to fight and die to actually establish those rights in actuality! We have them and our military to thank for what we have now! We as a people must always remember that Freedom is not free! It comes at a price, something that many have paid for with the ultimate sacrifice! I live free thanks to them! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To our military! Bless you all! May God protect you as you defend me and all of us! My heart and prayers are with you all! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thing. As most who follow me know, my son-in-law is in Afghanistan at this moment. Dave, be safe!

Not only has he thrown Israel under the bus as to his asinine demands of Israel to in effect commit its own suicide, he continues to not only back the agenda of a people that demands the eradication of an entire segment of the world population (Moron alert! That’s the Jewish people for those of you who are to blind to the facts) he in fact has once again made the U.S look like a laughing stock as to perceived leadership! Perceived is probably not the right word. President Bozo for example demanded Syria’s president should do as Obama says. Of course, Assad immediately went out and shot 32 more demonstrators’. So much for U.S. leadership!  Obama says jump, countries say “Bite Me!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I go off on my tirade, a few quotes, some of which I myself have used in the past to illustrate what I feel is this President’s complete disdain for Israel, something that was there for all to see well before he was elected.&lt;br /&gt;"I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Barack Hussein Obama, The Audacity of Hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Zionists ...will lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House," Jesse Jackson, October 2008.&lt;br /&gt;“In December of last year, Obama publicly demanded that Israel “FREEZE” all building of settlements and new constructions in the West Bank, which undercut Israel and deepened the growing divide between America and one of our strongest allies.”&lt;br /&gt;The next thing is from various sources and right on the button as to the President’s “head up his ass” attitude towards Israel and in my opinion Jews in general. Please note one thing here. When I watched this speech, I truly felt I could see and sense the hate he has for Israel. That is my opinion! Take it for what it’s worth, but this clown always expresses his despite for something openly, be it Israel, his hate of basic American principles or his disdain for the electorate in general. One can see it in his face. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thursday, President Obama delivered an unprecedented rebuke of the Israeli people by an American president. In words that were designed to reach more Muslim citizens than United States citizens, Obama called Israel’s legitimate West Bank settlements an “occupation”; and by calling for a return to the 1967 borders, he is calling for a divided Jerusalem. He continued to press Israel to negotiate with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and, subsequently, with the “Unity Government” the PA has formed with the terrorist group, Hamas.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From J.D. Longstreet:&lt;br /&gt;Our President, with his loyalty to the world and not to the country that trusted him with the sacred duty to be leader of America and Commander-in-Chief of the mightiest military force in all of history, has gone over to the “Dark Side.” He has turned his back on the one nation, which occupies the most important piece of real estate on the globe. He has made it clear he favors the countries, which consider themselves Israel’s most ardent enemies. Israel now knows they stand alone.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herman Cain says Obama did Israel wrong and lays out the Cain Doctrine: “If you mess with Israel, you are messing with the United States of America. It’s that simple.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(WASHINGTON) --- Congressman Allen West (FL-22) released this statement today:&lt;br /&gt;"Today's endorsement by President Barack Obama of the creation of a Hamas-led Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders, signals the most egregious foreign policy decision his administration has made to date, and could be the beginning of the end as we know it for the Jewish state.&lt;br /&gt;From the moment the modern day state of Israel declared statehood in 1948, to the end of the 1967 Six Day War, Jews were forbidden access to their holiest site, the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City, controlled by Jordan's Arab army.&lt;br /&gt;The pre-1967 borders endorsed by President Obama would deny millions of the world's Jews access to their holiest site and force Israel to return the strategically important Golan Heights to Syria, a known state-sponsor of terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;Resorting to the pre-1967 borders would mean a full withdrawal by the Israelis from the West Bank and the Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem.  Make no mistake, there has always been a Nation of Israel and Jerusalem has been and must always be recognized as its rightful capital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, the Hamas-run Palestinian state envisioned by President Obama would be devastating to Israel and the world's 13.3 million Jews. It would be a Pavlovian style reward to a declared Islamic terrorist organization, and an unacceptable policy initiative. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America should never negotiate with the Palestinian Authority- which has aligned itself with Hamas. Palestine is a region, not a people or a modern state. Based upon Roman Emperor Hadrian's declaration in 73 AD, the original Palestinian people are the Jewish people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's time for the American people to stand by our strongest ally, the Jewish State of Israel, and reject this foreign policy blunder of epic proportions.&lt;br /&gt;While the winds of democracy may blow strong in the Middle East, history has demonstrated that gaps in leadership can lead to despotic regimes.  I have questions for President Obama:  'Who will now lead in Egypt?' and 'Why should American taxpayers provide foreign aid to a nation where the next chapter in their history may be the emergence of another radical Islamic state?'&lt;br /&gt;President Obama has not stood for Israel or the Jewish people and has made it clear where the United States will stand when Palestine attempts to gain recognition of  statehood by the United Nations.  The President should focus on the real obstacle to security- the Palestinian leadership and its ultimate goal to eliminate Israel and the Jewish people."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the President felt he was appeasing his Muslim brethren. NOT! The Arab world is outraged also! Their hatred for Israel and Jews in general is such that they will even turn on one of their own if it is against their stated objective “death to all Jews!”  This isn’t a joke folks. These people preach this every day. This President is happily enabling them with his inane policies, all aimed at one thing, the elimination of the Jewish state. Moron alert! A jackass could figure out the hatred of the radical Muslim world towards the Jews and Western Civilization in general is real! Not this clown though!&lt;br /&gt;Our good friends in the Muslim word had the following imbecilic statement, something that I’m sure isn’t surprising to anyone other than His Royal Hind End, you know, the Presdient:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“President Barack Obama’s Mideast policy speech Thursday was a “total failure,” Hamas said Thursday evening.&lt;br /&gt;“The (Arab) nation does not need a lesson on democracy from Obama,” said Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip, Sami Abu-Zuhri. “Rather, Obama is the one who needs the lesson given his absolute endorsement of Israel’s crimes and his refusal to condemn Israel’s occupation.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We will not recognize the Israeli occupation under any circumstances,” the Hamas spokesman said, while adding: “We object to intervention in our internal affairs.” &lt;br /&gt;Abu-Zuhri also urged the Palestinian Authority not to endorse the American president’s speech. He stressed the need to coordinate Palestinian positions in the face of what he referred to as “American-Israeli arrogance.”&lt;br /&gt;Other Hamas sources said the president’s speech was “deceptive.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s a despicable act and the American Administration must make sure that Israel bears the responsibility for the ongoing deterioration of the peace process,” he said. “We respect the American decision to revive the peace process.”&lt;br /&gt;One can well imagine how I feel about all of this. I have ranted for years not only as to this Presidents clear hate for Israel but in fact his despite for anything or anyone that disagrees with his philosophy that we are the cause of the world’s problems and must apologize for this and in turn cede our leadership to the third world haters in the U.N and other counties! Only a complete idiot could or would turn their back on the one ally we could always depend on. Only a blind asshole would support a people who kill without though other than to exterminate a race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Yet this President with his actions is every bit as despicable as the morons in Germany back in the 30’s. For all of the lefty apologists out there, you can take my comparing this to Hitler and blow it out your asses! The heads of the Muslim Brotherhood as well as so many other Radical Muslim factions are uttering almost word for word the exact Anti-Jewish tirades one heard prior to and during the Holocaust! There are Muslim leaders who openly condone this and the President in his actions and words sides with them! That is fact kids! President Obama with his demands is openly signing Israel’s death warrant! Yet, we have so many morons here at home in the Jewish community who back this guy! My God! What is it you’re drinking?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As one can expect, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not take to this lightly. No Siree! Friday, Bibi stood face to face with the President and proceeded to administer a smack down that was a marvel to behold! We can all sit here and marvel at the fact that Carter was a really inept leader to say the least. At least he was an honest moron! As he bumbled his way through his Presidency, he was of course ridiculed to a great extent by all. However, I’m not sure if in my lifeline I have ever seen a President of the United States put into his place as what we witnessed yesterday! The 2 quotes below say it so nicely:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; From the great Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs: “Much needed. Schooling the delinquent”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Ironic Surrealism: “The bitch slap heard around the world.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bibi showed the kind of balls and courage it takes to be a leader! Amazing how Obama's complete disdain for Israel showed in his face and actions, isn't it? I for one would ask as Bibi did in so many words, "Who in the hell do you think you are President Bozo! What in the hell gives you the right to demand us to do anything? Who died and made you the chief apologist for the radical scum that wants to wipe every Jew off the face of the earth?! While I’m on the subject! Have you opened your eyes to the fact that the Radical Muslim states are telling to  F… Off?! Just wondering because you sure as hell aren’t looking at the Mideast through open eyes!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I for one was embarrassed for our country as we now know as a fact this President is prepared to help with the elimination of the Jewish state! Bibi stood his ground and the President openly showed his hate for not only the man but in my opinion every Jewish person around the world. The hate and scorn in the President’s eyes was real. His open disdain for Bibi was not only apparent but hostile! And this is supposed to be the leader of the free world! Barf! Bibi basically took the proverbial two by four and whopped an ass up the side of its head. Unfortunately, Obama’s head is beyond thick. More like pig iron I guess as apparently the ass whipping didn’t change his perverse view of the Mid-East or the world in general!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My only question now? Will the Jewish population in this country now come to their senses and stop marching in lockstep with the very politicians that actually hold them in utter disdain? Hell, I’ve seen over and over people saying (including O’Reiley) that the American Jewish population would still deliver at least 65 to 70 percent of their votes to the President and his Anti-Semite leftist party! This is from an earlier post of mine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have said in the past I feel this clown is the most Anti-Israel leaning President in my lifetime. One only had to read his book as it was there in his own words! (Quote from Obama’s book: Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’). My question is and has been, being of Jewish descent myself, I can't help but wonder how the Jewish population here in the U.S. keeps voting for Anti-Semitic liars, yet every polling day they somehow blindly rush to do so. In turn, we now have an administration that appears more than happy to watch Israel be eradicated. "As Ye sow, so shall Ye reap". We are now witnessing the harvest of a seed that was planted centuries ago, nurtured over years and years, blooming every now and then (Nazi Germany for example) and now is in fact at full bloom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure what the answer is, but it sure as hell isn't the Anti-Semite in the White House anymore that it is the self hating Jews who helped elect him. Israel and in turn Western Civilization as we know it is in grave danger. The Muslims are candid about this while we here in Obama land are being told to accept it by our sad sack leaders! Yet, this could have been stopped if the electorate had just taken their responsibilities as voters seriously! When the President and his minions speak of Israel and the Mid-East, I sense pure open hatred for Israel. I point out that's how I feel. I only know when I watch this clown speak and look at his eyes, I see hate. And that is a bad thing to see in anyone's leader. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One should not be surprised at the actions of a person who has actually been open about his ideology in the past. That is they shouldn't be if they weren't so open to accepting the lies and deceit that come from almost every politician. Almost every action this President has taken seems predicated on one thing, acceptance of the radical Muslim agenda as part of our society. As that, if it came to fruition would mean the end of Israel and our own way of life, one must conclude Israel is in grave danger.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the President and his minions? Below we have the fact that as soon as he advocated destroying Israel as we know it, he immediately went after the Jewish voters for funds!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Messina, his campaign director said the campaign would reach out to Jewish donors and expected strong support.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“On another network questions were directed to Ken Solomon, an Obama fund-raiser and CEO of the Tennis Channel, who said “any problems were minimal and that most Jewish voters were concerned about many issues, not just Israel...”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can the above really be true?  Is the Jewish American population completely brain dead? Are they so completely screwed up in their heads that they believe for one moment that the atrocities we see aimed day after day at Israel will not be aimed at them once Israel is destroyed? Do they think for one moment a President that openly embraces a radical element bent on the elimination of the Jewish people will even try to stop the insurrection that is already making itself evident around the country? This same slow creeping cancer that is the Anti-Jewish sentiment is exactly the same as Nazi Germany. The similarities are there for all to see. Of course, I and others will be vilified for even having the audacity to compare our President to Hitler, yet he is allowing this to happen. Between his perceived hate for the Jews (again, this is how I see it!) and his Chaimberlain like stance of “I believe they’ll negotiate in good faith” belief in the radical Muslims who are now apparently running things (this clown really does believe in his heart radicals can be reasoned with. I’ve never figured this out, yet year after year morons think one can deal with hateful radicals. Can’t be done!) Israel, All Jews and if someone will finally get their heads out of their asses and realize, Western civilization as we know it are in deep danger!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This isn’t something I say lightly. I firmly believe there are people that are hell bent on this course of action. The fact that the President and his supporters are selling out to radical fundamentalists only reinforces that feeling in me. Wake up America! The plight of Israel is only a portent of things to come! This President is aiding the very people who want to destroy us, openly and brazenly with a disdain for the American public that I have never see form any leader (Come to think of it Reid and Pelosi also can be poster children in this respect( in my lifetime!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-6793742056624751033?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/6793742056624751033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/05/anti-israeli-political-suicide-or-obams.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6793742056624751033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6793742056624751033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/05/anti-israeli-political-suicide-or-obams.html' title='Anti-Israeli Political Suicide or Obama Says &quot;Bite Me&quot; Israel and Jews in General!'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-6005744398786060522</id><published>2011-05-15T09:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-15T09:39:34.096-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Immigration, Boeing and Debt - Examples of our Nation as it Loses it's way!</title><content type='html'>As this is the busiest time of the year for me, I really haven’t had much time to comment on the sheer idiocy emanating from our dear friends in D.C.  Personally at this time, I really want to concentrate on the Triple Crown and the Stanley Cup Playoffs and try to forget the real world for a while. You know, possibly gain a little bit of sanity or peace. But alas, that was not to be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  As the lies and distortions keep flowing from Obama and his brain dead legions, I just have to throw in my two cents worth. In other words as the crap flows from the scum bag politicians, I’m getting madder than hell! Nothing new there I guess, so here we go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago, the President gave his little “Oh please Hispanics, I care for you! Don’t forget to vote for me”, immigration speech. First, let me comment on the following from various sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“President Barack Obama says those opposing a pathway to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. shouldn’t have amnesia about how the country began. He says America is a nation of immigrants.”&lt;br /&gt;Notice how our Clown in chief is trying to steer away from the ILLEGAL aspect of this issue! Amnesia my ass! My father’s parents came from Norway, LEGALLY! They worked their asses off as have millions of LEGAL immigrants! They assimilated into our culture and became proud Americans, all LEGALLY! For the record! You can take the “pathway to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.” argument and stuff it Mr. President. Not one person who is here illegally has any right to citizenship! I don’t give a damn what the apologists think. They want to be citizens, let them go back to their third world country and enter our country legally! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s not bad enough we’re overrun with illegals thanks to the lack of enforcing the law of the land, but then we also get the usual denigration from the President to those who oppose what he wants. As shown below from his speech, President Obama couldn’t just leave it at the usual “give them amnesty” line. Nope, as usual our tone deaf so called uniter had to as usual take his usual potshots at anyone opposing his divine mantra!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So, here’s the point. I want everybody to listen carefully to this. We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement. All the stuff they asked for, we’ve done. But even though we’ve answered these concerns, I’ve got to say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AUDIENCE MEMBER: They’re racist!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE PRESIDENT: You know, they said we needed to triple the Border Patrol. Or now they’re going to say we need to quadruple the Border Patrol. Or they’ll want a higher fence. Maybe they’ll need a moat. (Laughter.) Maybe they want alligators in the moat. (Laughter.) They’ll never be satisfied. And I understand that. That’s politics.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We have gone above and beyond” Oh, by the way. He also gave us a few other wonderful B.S. lines such as “the border is more secure than ever and there has to be a program in place to take in the people already here. Funny, he didn’t mention the violence on the borders though. He didn’t mention how one can watch every night as thousands of ILLEGALS flow across the border! He sue as hell didn’t mention the fact his ATF and Justice department allowed guns to be shipped to Mexico and are now stonewalling any investigation! Hell, just a few hours ago A Mexican helicopter was shooting missiles at some drug runners right across the border! And while we’re at it, he didn’t have anything to say about the many intrusions into our country by the Mexican military! The borders are not secure. The President did nothing but LIE! And in turn he as usual threw out another rant against people like me that can only be construed as racist! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amnesty is not and never has been the answer! Enforce our laws. If they are caught, throw their asses out of the country. If they want to be here legally, let them leave and come back! We don’t need “Immigration Reform”! We need a leader with the balls to enforce our nations’ laws , something this President wouldn’t understand as he has placed himself above the law as so many leftist dictatorial morons have done! I for one am sick and tired of paying for ILLEGALS! Unfortunately, politics and power are all that matter to our wanna be dictator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is another even more insidious thing occurring right now and that is the absolutely insane lawsuit brought by the NLRB against Boeing! This isn’t government overstepping it’s boundaries!  No Siree! This is blatant dictatorship and complete government support of the unions and their anti right to work stands! This should scare the hell out of the entire country!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore explain why the NLRB's actions are so pernicious: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Obama administration's National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint last month against Boeing to block production of the company's 787 Dreamliner at a new assembly plant in South Carolina—a "right to-work" state with a law against compulsory union membership. If the NLRB has its way, Dreamliner assembly will return to Washington, a union-shop state, along with more than 1,000 jobs. &lt;br /&gt;The NLRB's action, which Boeing will challenge at a hearing next month, is a big deal. It's the first time a federal agency has intervened to tell an American company where it can and cannot operate a plant within the U.S. It lays the foundation of a regulatory wall with one express purpose: to prevent the direct competition of right-to-work states with union-shop states. Why, as South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley recently asked on these pages, should Washington have any more right to these jobs than South Carolina? “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, if this lawsuit actually were to end in a decision for the government, no one would have the right to do business where they wanted! What is so hard to figure out about this! NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL ANY PRIVATE COMPANY WHERE TO DO BUSINESS!  Yet this lawsuit is saying exactly the opposite! Who in the hell gave anyone the right to tell me where to build my business? And have we heard one word from our Socialist leaning President against this insanity? HELL NO! Couldn’t expect any common sense from someone who agrees with the premise that government runs all! Talk about insane B.S.! This one really take the cake!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, a quick word as to the debt ceiling fiasco! I for one think Geitner and the radical so called economists who are all crying doom are full of it!  We are spending more than we take in! Cut the spending! Do not raise the debt limit! Cut the spending! Gee whiz, even a moron can figure this one out! Fact! Every time taxes have been lowered, government revenues have gone up! Fact: Every time revenues have gone up, government has raised spending! Fact! Every time government has raised spending, they have done it at well above the levels of revenue coming in! Fact! Every time government has “cut spending”, those cuts have only been to the raised level of spending while still spending more than previously. Example: Let’s say there is a proposed spending increase of one trillion dollars for the next year above this year. Now, the phony baloney politicians say they will cut spending so they cut 200 billion from the proposed one trillion increase (note: consider the trillion an amount that is already above revenues taken in). Yay! We cut spending, and they have their propaganda ministers in the MSM feed the saps in the public the good news! MORON ALERT! There is still an 800 billion dollar increase in spending! Scum bag politicians have been doing this for years, choosing their power over the good of the land! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This isn’t brain surgery kids! Cut Spending! It doesn’t take a fool to realize the nation is on the edge of if not already bankrupt! It takes people with honor and balls to tell the public the truth and do what is right! Between the RINOS, the entrenched bureaucracy that only cares about itself and of course our Marxist/Leninist President, we are headed towards third world dictatorship status!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-6005744398786060522?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/6005744398786060522/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/05/immigration-boeing-and-debt-examples-of.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6005744398786060522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6005744398786060522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/05/immigration-boeing-and-debt-examples-of.html' title='Immigration, Boeing and Debt - Examples of our Nation as it Loses it&apos;s way!'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-3129187212000298059</id><published>2011-05-09T11:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-09T11:35:18.913-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Week That Was!  Osama Dead! Obama Blows It In The End!</title><content type='html'>It has been an interesting ten days to say the least. While I’ve commented in a few places, my attention was mainly on the Kentucky Derby preparations I needed to perform at my place of business. Derby Week as always tends to take my attention away from the fiasco called the “World” and affords me a modicum of sanity and relaxation from what is at best a slide into mediocrity for our country. So, while I was immersed in horse heaven, some good things happened, followed as usual by the idiocy that always seems to be this Presidency!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremast! Thank God for our wonderful service men! Kudos must be given to the President (like it or not kiddies, in the end he did the right thing! Might be a first for this administration. I’ll grant one that, but none the less he acted), Patreaus who stuck his head on the block in while going after things in Pakistan, what with drones, etc., something the administration was loathe to do as the Pakistanis didn’t like it. Even bigger kudos must be given to the interrogators who were badmouthed by the lefties to the point of being accused of criminal actions when in fact it was from their actions we got the lead that led to Obama’s demise. (I do wonder how many permission slips they had to get from the folks in D.C before they actually carried out the operation, but that’s just a thought that ran through my mind. Hard to fight when your hands are tied by absurd so called legalities!) At least for a change we have the A.G. backing an action that had to be taken!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Attorney General Eric Holder defended as lawful on Tuesday the U.S. operation to go into Pakistan that resulted in the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and the taking of his body.&lt;br /&gt;The acts taken were “lawful, legitimate and appropriate in every way. The people who were responsible for that action, both in the decision making and the effecting of that decision, handled themselves I think quite well,” Holder told the House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all a good thing! However, normally when one cuts the head off a snake, the body dies. In this case, citing the centuries of radical hatred, etc. that comes from these people, one must still assume the body is whole. The deep rooted hatred not only for Israel, but for anything other than their own views I’m afraid will keep these folks going on their merry way. As such, we must not ease up on the pressure! We go after these bastards until they fold up their tents! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As radical Islam is in itself a hateful spiteful cult like religion (for want of better words), it must be assumed things will keep going on as they are. Obama will continue to want to "play nice", his idiotic justice department will continue to file lawsuits like the one against Ohio ( I think that was the state. Sorry if I'm wrong) against the Anti-Shiria bill and so on and so on. While all this is going on here, a radical persuasion that has been preaching hate and death to not only Israelis, but any entity different from their own will continue on its merry path of hate and destruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, our fearless leader had to go screw it up as far as being Presidential! Stories started changing. We’ll release photos. We won’t release photos. We have absurd idiocy (a picture of His Highness and his court supposedly watching the action live from the scene)  like what the Telegraph published below as an example!&lt;br /&gt;“Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A photograph released by the White House appeared to show the President and his aides in the situation room watching the action as it unfolded. In fact they had little knowledge of what was happening in the compound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shocker that that pic was contrived by the regime and the media, no? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Panetta said: "Once those teams went into the compound I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes where we really didn't know just exactly what was going on. And there were some very tense moments as we were waiting for information.&lt;br /&gt;And a bombshell: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Panetta also revealed that the US Navy Seals made the final decision to kill bin Laden rather than the president. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said: "The authority here was to kill bin Laden. And obviously, under the rules of engagement, if he had in fact thrown up his hands, surrendered and didn't appear to be representing any kind of threat, then they were to capture him. But they had full authority to kill him.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is, it seems that as usual, this president manages to take even the simplest thing (He’s Dead! Good Riddance) and shoot himself and the country in the foot! That’s not bad enough though! We of course have the obligatory “victory lap” being taken by the President!  Let me say one thing here. As he authorized the mission, he deserves some credit today! The sitting President always gets the blame or the kudos, no matter what the deal is, good or bad. So be it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, he of course had to take his dog and pony show to Ground Zero. And as usual, he made things worse. The MSM as expected is extolling the courageous leadership of Obama while still doing their best to vilify Presdient Bush. I will grant one that inviting President Bush could have been construed as a “gracious gesture”. Yet, we have folks like David Ignatius of the  Washington Post:&lt;br /&gt;“ President Obama thought that President Bush should get credit [for Obama's death] 'cause he invited him to go to Ground Zero. I think the reason that Bush didn’t go is the photograph of the two of them together would have locked the reelection of Barack Obama in 2012.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or how about this to the Muslim community here, the wonderful folks who basically just shut their mouths and let the radicals call the shots!&lt;br /&gt;:You have consistently supported efforts to keep our country safe, prevent terrorist attacks and oppose violent extremism,” Bill Daley, President Obama’s White House chief of staff, said Wednesday.  “And at the same time, your community has faced a unique hardship in the wake of September 11th, and many of our citizens were unfairly viewed with suspicion.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, our President in his infinite wisdom selected hand picked 9/11 survivors, etc. to attend his photo-op. All well, good and expected. I wonder a bit about the warmth in the invitations that started out “Dear 9/11 Survivor” though! As such, one of those invited was Debra Burlingame. She had the utter gall to ask the President a question about the continued prosecution of CIA operatives who were doing their jobs interrogating radical Muslim prisoners. There is a video that clearly shows she was respectful while the President, as usual once again showed his disdain for the common folk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Debra Burlingame, the sister of Charles “Chic” Burlingame (pilot of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon) met with President Obama today, along with other families who were victims of 9/11. Burlingame said she confronted Obama about Attorney General Eric Holder prosecuting the men who interrogated KSM, which may have produced intelligence leading us to bin Laden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burlingame describes the encounter with Obama: “As a former attorney I know you can’t tell the Attorney General what to do, he said, ‘No, I can’t.’ But I said ‘we — that shouldn’t stop you from giving your opinion. We wouldn’t be here today if they hadn’t done their jobs. Can’t you at least give them your opinion.’ And he said ‘no I won’t,’ and he turned around and walked away.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for me, a prejudiced, publicity hound scum politician who not only is using this as a “pat me on the back moment” (again, way too many scum politicians do this) and in turn ignores not only a citizen who is in effect his boss, but in fact chooses to treat her with what I feel is a snide contempt as well as a demeaning rebuff of her question has no right to be called a President. This man, in almost every action demeans the office the electorate so stupidly elected him to. He makes one good decision and wants us to believe he is infallible then turns around and treats a citizen like scum and why?  Because she asked something he didn’t want to hear!&lt;br /&gt;As I turned this over in my mind, I came back to President Bush and that absurd comment by like David Ignatius of the Washington Post I cited above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, George Bush, the gentleman who unannounced appears when troops come home to welcome them. Not for glory but to profess his love for their efforts and his country.  In the case of Debra Burlingame, he would have been cordial, listened and in turn if he felt she was correct would have relayed the message as she requested. The difference between a PRESIDENT and a pretender? One is a man! The other, I’m not sure what the expression should be, but surely no more than an eighth of the man that President Bush is! How sad that the leader of the free world is such a petty tyrant as the majority of the political scum bags that inhabit D.C.!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note! This is not just an indictment of the President! Politicians of all stripes take advantage of any situation for political gain, the electorate be damned. Just look at the “establishment Republican scum that is thwarting every issue put forward by the newer members who want to adhere to a more conservative ideal (that’s Tea Partiers for those out there of the liberal ilk). Political scum always somehow rises to the top, be it the President or any of the elected morons who place their own power lust above the needs of this country.  As much as I despise the current resident of the White House, I can’t blame him for using the same tired tactics and actions as have been taken by the political class for years now. Nope! Not his fault kids! IT’S OUR FAULT! ALL OF US!  Until we as voters accept our responsibility and drive these idiots out, we will continue to reap the disdain for the common American as shown not only by our President, but in fact by the majority of the elected scumballs now in office!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-3129187212000298059?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/3129187212000298059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/05/week-that-was-osama-dead-obama-blows-it.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3129187212000298059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3129187212000298059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/05/week-that-was-osama-dead-obama-blows-it.html' title='The Week That Was!

So before I get off on my tirade for the week, let me send out my heartfelt concern for the folks in the South who have gone through a terrible ordeal due to the tornado outbreak. Our thoughts and well wishes to all and I urge everyone in this country to dig deep and help these folks as much as possible. After all, we are Americans and we don’t have to be forced by our government to do what is right! Folks need our help now! Please give all you can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, away we go. Today I want to mainly once again address the outright Marxist/Leninist agenda that is this President and his lackey’s apparent badge of honor. As is the case with this kind of leadership, one can see we are slowly creeping into a dictatorship, one that is destroying the very core of our country and for sure is against every principle we stand for. This includes the horrible penchant of the Left and their propensity to hurl out the racism charge when they are out of arguments.  They choose to use vilification rather than fact, lies rather than truth. Such is the way of doing business as evidenced by this administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This last week saw the President finally release his full birth certificate. While I for one cannot be counted as a birther as they are calling people who question his birth place, I do wonder why he chose to spend millions to keep from releasing it. Makes one question his true motives. Was it political? Was it to take the focus away from his failed absurd policies and agenda? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the case, I have to wonder why questioning his true origin is considered to be racist! I have to wonder why questioning anything he or his administration does is racist! Overt reverse discrimination as to the dropping of the Black Panther Election fiasco being questioned by fair minded Americans is racist?! Wanting our immigration laws enforced is racist?! On and on it goes and no matter what we question as seeming to be strange as to this administration’s policies, we are branded racist. Tavis Smiley spouts this will be the most racist campaign ever. How does he know that? Easy! He and this administration want it made perfectly clear that any opposition to this government at this time is racist. Over 45% of whites voted for this clown, yet we are racist! Media on the whole has branded us all racist. And heaven forbid if one even remotely says stop blaming Bush! Once again, we will be branded as racist.  It really doesn’t matter to the scum in the media and the administration. Question anything, you are a racist! Sure seems like that to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As such, I wonder if the distinguished  gentleman quoted below will now be tossed into the racist category along with us conservatives.  This is a very telling observation, one that we have been trying to point out for some time.  One note here:  Mr. Alford says he voted for Obama because he was black! On one hand is there anything more racist than that?  Did this gentleman in fact ignore his role as a voter and choose to vote by color rather than responsibly voting for the best qualified? I applaud his courage for what he says below as he will certainly be a target of this administration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Laura Ingraham: Harry Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alford: "[Obama] is anti-business and … [Obamunism] is starting to look Marxist to me."&lt;br /&gt;Ingraham: "Marxist? You voted for him."&lt;br /&gt;Alford: "The worst mistake I ever made in my life."&lt;br /&gt;Ingraham: "Why did you vote for him?"&lt;br /&gt;Alford: "Because he was black, and that is a lesson that I will take to my grave."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Alford’s comment as to Marxism leads to my next point, one I have yelled about more than once and that is the co-opted  MSM media and their refusal to even remotely adhere to even the thinnest journalistic standards when defending this Socialist wanna be dictator in the White House. I’ve been taken to task more than once for constantly referring to him as such, but in seeing what happened in San Francisco the other day, I do believe that I am in fact 100% correct that assertion.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A reporter for the SF Chronicle, Carla Marinucci, was banned from the press pool for daring to take a video of an event that included a protest against His Majesty, King Obama! (And yes, I mean that in the meanest satirical way) How many times have I and others pointed out that a co-opted media will in fact be shoved aside if it even remotely started to do its job? In this case a reporter who, when one reads her stuff is for most cases purely an Obama supporter, is shunned for actually doing the right thing. As one well knows by now however, doing the right thing is an invitation to have one’s legs cut out from under them by this President! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the San Francisco Chronicle:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The White House told media outlets Friday that it did not threaten to exclude The Chronicle from pool coverage of events in the Bay Area after the paper posted a video from an event in San Francisco last week, contradicting statements from the paper's editor, Ward Bushee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bushee said Friday the White House press office is not telling the truth.&lt;br /&gt;"Sadly, we expected the White House to respond in this manner based on our experiences yesterday," Bushee said in a statement. "It is not a truthful response. It follows a day of off-the-record exchanges required by key people in the White House communications office who told us it would remove our reporter, then threatened retaliation to The Chronicle and Hearst reporters if we reported on the ban, and then recanted to say our reporter might not be removed after all."&lt;br /&gt;Bushee said The Chronicle's report on the matter Friday was accurate. He also asked that the White House issue an on-the-record notice that Chronicle senior political reporter Carla Marinucci remains eligible to be the San Francisco print pool reporter if indeed she has not been excluded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said The Chronicle "violated the coverage rules that they - and every other media outlet - agreed to as part of joining the press pool for that event. If they thought the rules were too restrictive, they should have raised that at the beginning. However, no reporters have been banned from covering future presidential events and the White House of course would have no problem including any reporter who follows the rules in pool-only events."&lt;br /&gt;From what one can see above and in fact this is all verified many times. We now can see that this President holds the American public and our country’s ideals in such disdain that he openly asserts his control on the so called “Free Press”! For God’s Sakes people! Most of the mainstream co-opted media have ignored this!  This quote from Chairman Obama (thanks to Skookum at Flopping Aces) says everything one needs to know as to his want of full control of the media. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The main reason we wanted to do this is, first of all, because more and more people, especially young people, are getting their information through different media. And historically, part of what makes for a healthy democracy, what is good politics, is when you’ve got citizens who are informed, who are engaged.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can anyone out there explain to me how this is not one of the most Anti-American things we have yet to see from this clown? Hold up on that question for the moment because there is something even worse as to how illegitimate this man is as to his right to govern our free society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been reported that Boeing has built a second assembly line in South Carolina for its jumbo jet production. This of course opens up thousands of jobs in Carolina! As has been barely reported (one really has to look for it) the union clowns in Washington State are now in a huge snit even though “Boeing has made it clear that none of the production jobs created in South Carolina has come at the expense of jobs in Puget Sound and that not a single union member has been adversely affected. In fact, Boeing says IAM employment in Puget Sound has increased by approximately 2,000 workers since the decision to expand in South Carolina was made in October 2009.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet we now have the NLRB filing a suit against Boeing!  The NLRB claims that Boeing is being “retaliatory” against California’s International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and that is why Boeing is choosing to open its newest facility in a right to work state. Below is a column from the WSJ by Gov. Nikki Haley:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the WSJ:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama’s Silence on Boeing Is Unacceptable&lt;br /&gt;The president’s appointees have moved to block the company from building planes in my state. He owes us an explanation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By NIKKI HALEY&lt;br /&gt;In October 2009, Boeing, long one of the best corporations in America, made an announcement that changed the economic outlook of South Carolina forever: The company’s second line of 787 Dreamliners would be produced in North Charleston.&lt;br /&gt;In choosing to manufacture in my state, Boeing was exercising its right as a free enterprise in a free nation to conduct business wherever it believed would best serve both the bottom line and the employees of its company. This is not a novel or complicated idea. It’s called capitalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boeing has since poured billions of dollars into a new, state-of-the art facility in South Carolina’s picturesque Low Country along the Atlantic coast. It has created thousands of good jobs and joined the long tradition of distinguished and employee-friendly corporations that have found a home, and a partner, in the Palmetto State.&lt;br /&gt;This a win-win for South Carolina, for Boeing, and for the global clients who will see Dreamliners rolling off the North Charleston line at the rate of 10 a month, starting with the first one next year. But, as is often the case, a win for people and businesses is a loss for the labor unions, which rely on coercion, bullying and undue political influence to stay afloat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;South Carolina is a right-to-work state, and we’re proud that within our borders workers cannot be required to join a labor union as a condition of employment. We don’t need unions playing middlemen between our companies and our employees. We don’t want them forcefully inserted into our promising business climate. And we will not stand for them intimidating South Carolinians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is apparently too much for President Obama and his union-beholden appointees at the National Labor Relations Board, who have asked the courts to intervene and force Boeing to stop production in South Carolina. The NLRB wants Boeing to produce the planes only in Washington State, where its workers must belong to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s be clear: Boeing is a great corporate citizen in Washington and in South Carolina. The company chose to come to our state because the cost of doing business is low, our job training and work force are strong, and our ports are tremendous. The fact that we are a right-to-work state is an added bonus.&lt;br /&gt;Who or what in the hell gives the government the right to tell a privately owned company where it can do business. If Boeing chose to completely close the Puget Sound plant (it did not) and move the entire thing to a “right to work state” hoping to cut its costs  and in turn its prices to the users of its equipment, what gives the government the right to stop them? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHO IN THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?! The union cries and the government is willing to fight against the very principles that drive our free market system? This scum is willing to cost a company and in turn workers crying for jobs in Carolina billions of dollars because a union is upset? WHO IN THE HELL GAVE THE UNIONS OR THIS GOVERNMENT THE RIGHT TO TELL ANY PRIVATE ENTITY HOW WHERE TO PLACE THEIR OPERATIONS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as the Governor states above, why not one word from Chairman Obama?! Well, at least I can answer that one. The man can’t say anything against the unions. After all, they (the main union leaders! Unfortunately there are far too many union members, all hard working people who have chosen to ignore what their leaders are doing) march in lockstep with the hard core Socialist in the White House. One other word here: Some folks take me to for calling the President and his asinine allies Socialist. They say I don’t know what I’m talking about. I believe much of that is the fact that thanks to the indoctrination by the leftist pigs in education who steadfastly refuse to teach the evils that Socialist governments have led to time and time again, they are in fact ignorant as to what is actually going on. When I refer to Socialist, I am always referring to the Leninist type of Socialism that overtook Russia, one that if we would only open our eyes is slowly creeping into every facet of our society. That in the end is called a dictatorship! If the two examples above as to the press and the right of a company cannot be understood as something that is against every principle this country was founded on, if we choose to remain blind to the loss of our sacred rights, if we choose to believe the Commie dictator in the White House, than this country is in deep do do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up America! Your country is being stolen from you while you watch and do nothing! Someone has to fight this creeping disease that is destroying us from within! Your President, his appointees and his administration is leading this country into third world dictatorship status. It is not up to the government to control our lives! It is up to each and every one of us! It is my right to question this no count of a President! He works for me! For me and every other CITIZEN (not the illegal immigrants he is also cow towing too) in this country! He is not a king! He is our employee and we need to fire him! Wake Up!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-6918329421207945102?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/6918329421207945102/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/05/can-you-say-dictatorship.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6918329421207945102'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6918329421207945102'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/05/can-you-say-dictatorship.html' title='Can You Say Dictatorship?'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-2057643807439518568</id><published>2011-04-23T09:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-23T09:30:03.161-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Leftist Hate vs Reality? Time To Wake Up America!</title><content type='html'>One note before I go on. Anyone who has followed me at all will recognize most of the tail end of this particular post, especially in regards to the Tea Party. It is something I not only deeply believe in, but is in fact something that has to be said again and again. We silent majority Americans have got to drown out the destructive garbage coming from the hard left (as well as from the right)! This is long (sorry bout that!), but as I say in the main body below it has to be said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a wonderful site I follow called Flopping Aces. (http://floppingaces.net) . They have some great writers and contributors, and the comments are quite colorful and varied from both sides to say the least. 5 or 6 days ago, one of their folks posted a number of videos showing the vile hatred spewing from various lefty loons. The post was titled “Left wingers are animals” by Dr. John.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As expected, the lefties on the site took the writer to task for having the horrible gall to even equate a human to an animal citing how hateful that was and in turn ignoring the very proof in front of them as is normal for hard core ideologues of any persuasion. Early on in the thread, which by the way is one of the longer ones I have seen, I posted the following. (Note: I’m leaving things as I posted the comments. There are referrals to a few of the folks who comment on this site. Again, let me say they it is one of the best sites out there for discourse and I really enjoy engaging with everyone on there. One other note. I refer to Skook who actually goes under the moniker of Skookum when he posts. Among other things he is an ex racetrack (blacksmith) as I am . I just want to point out that he is in my opinion one of the greatest writer I have ever read. His stories are warm and reflect a life well lived). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m not sure what a poor animal has ever done to be equated with these dregs of society! I’m sure Skook would agree with me as in the case of a horse for example. Noble and proud animals who surely are a far better example of life then these lowlifes!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next couple of days, I kind of forgot about it until I looked at my email as I get alerts from their site as to comments. Man, I couldn’t believe  what I was reading as to the arguments going on between the commenters.  As usual of course we had the racist hatemonger charge being bandied around as well as a rabid disregard for any facts bring put forth. In fact, the feel of the thread was becoming in my view extremely snitty. As there are way too many posts on this, let it suffice that when I finally caught up with it 3 days later, I got into one of my “I’ve had enough of this crap snits”. So let’s go on! My next reply was as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Long one here folks, but I’ve got my dander up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My My, we’re getting a bit snitty here. For the record from my little place in the world. First and foremost it needs to be noted that the saner minds on this site (Mata, Bees, Skook and the others) are always first to point out there are loonies on the fringes in both parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, the main facts speak for themselves. The hatred, racist accusations, disdain for any opinion different from their own as evidenced by the leftist Democrats, their leaders and in turn the portion of the electorate ( I wonder a lot about those making the most noise. Losers like them tend to be the takers and not responsible voters) cannot even remotely be described as civilized. And as I said early on in this thread, animals should be insulted to be compared to the trash passing themselves off as “liberals”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;For the Gregs, Riches and others out there, I notice every one of you pretty much march to the hateful tune being put forward by the Dems. I will say one of you at least acknowledged the media’s leftist bias and then in turn defend them! So, I ask something I’ve asked more than once. What the hell is the matter with you people?! You defend the lies put forth (or the truths hidden) by the MSM and the party. You not only try to justify bit in fact glorify the pure vile hatred as put forth by these idiots. You lecture anyone with an opposing view to be tolerant. Just because they might be “expressing it badly, they still might be correct in their assertions”, those assertions being anyone on the right is a racist hateful person who only wants to get rich or whatever off the backs of the lazy idiots who only want to take!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been to 3 so called Tea Party meetings. I have not seen anything comparable from the right as to what we are seeing from the left. In the Town Hall meetings I have been too, the hate has come from the left. I have not seen people from the right trying to take over or disrupt meetings as what is happening from the left. And I sure as hell don’t see the right day in and day out throwing out the race tag or whatever other class warfare item they can when they cannot justify their positions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that from what I see the left will only put out the propaganda that they feel all should hear is bad enough. But for them to put out the Bull S… arguments that I have seen through this thread while refusing to even remotely acknowledge the compromised media is absolutely beyond me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As near as I can see, the leftists have just about succeeded in their quest at indoctrination of the masses. They lash out at the truth yelling as loud as possible to block it. Their double standards are all they want one to see. The hate spewing from the left, be it the Al Sharptons, the Trumkas or any off the others is a sad commentary on what was once a great country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look in the mirror folks (this also goes for those far right idiots)! I believe the quote goes “We have seen the enemy and they enemy is us” (sorry if I got it wrong)? Well that’s what you have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re out of time here folks! Tough decisions have to be made. not the posturing or the bull shit lies coming from the President, his lackeys or the entrenched RINO bastards who think we can just keep rolling along! Hell, you folks on the left actually feel anything I make belongs to the people! And you can all go jump because it belongs to me! Even now, one could take every dollar from every facet of this country and NOT PAY OFF THE DEBT, FORGET NORMAL SPENDING! My and your kids and grandkids are being stuck with this and you’re out there spewing hatred and worse. The President has the balls to tell a flat out lie his budget will cut the deficit when he still spends more than taken in? Ryan’s budget is accepted with scorn as being hateful towards whomever but at least is an attempt to if nothing else start the discussion. OOPS! Can’t have that! Discussion isn’t allowed by the left if it counters their position. So we’re right where we’ve been!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s time for those on the left and the right to understand one thing. I and others do not owe anyone a damn thing other than the equal right to succeed. Morally we all need to help the truly helpless. Other than that, those who refuse to help themselves don’t deserve anything from me or my government. We are out of time as far as addressing this country’s deficit. The fact that those on the left (and some on the right) are so intent on keeping their handouts and entitlements and in turn are willing to accept our fall into third world status disgusts me. Thoughtful discussion is fine. throwing out hate is bad! Since we all know the truth is now easy to find if one wants to look, something the left definitely doesn’t want to do as some on the hard right, it’s time for everyone to get their heads out of the sand and be real for once in their lives.&lt;br /&gt;Just a quick example: When one has a Congresswoman who says she can’t understand the new members of Congress who insist things should be Constitutional when passed, one has to figure the party is now completely ignorant of any recognition of our country’s true ideals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play time is over folks. gloves off. It’s time for the hate mongers(and those few on the right who we have heard from, minuscule as opposed to what’s coming from the left at this moment) on the left to stop their yelling and vitriol and start acting on the problem at hand! Take the co-opted media to task. Take the political scum who refuse to act responsibly to task. Take the 40 or more percent of the “I wants” to task. This isn’t a free ride by any stretch of the imagination kiddies. For those of you who are moronic enough to actually justify the antics of the cretins as evidenced above, this probably goes against your very fiber but you need to get your heads into the game. And the game IS NOT THE VILE TRASH ONE IS SEEING FROM THE LEFT AND FOR THAT MATTER THIS PRESIDENT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, the left refuses to acknowledge the truth choosing to point a finger rather than suggesting a real remedy. This is about the future of our country! The electorate had better come to it’s senses now. The hate has to stop! We are out of time!!!!@ “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bit later, a gentleman named Rich Wheeler, a regular on the site replied as follows (please note. Rich was gracious in his reply to the following. I rarely agree with him, but he is one who is always willing to engage in discourse, a rarity for the left. Don’t think I or others have changed his mind on anything though. LOL!):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reply from Rich Wheeler:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe T. Short note. Tea party consists of 80%-90% disgruntled white Repubs. To continue to paint some “rainbow picture ” is disingenuous .Let’s get real on that. Their approval sits at 27% and dropping. Sarah has disappeared in the polls. Will Michelle replace her?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For better or worse left leaning MSM, as evidenced by ratings, is no more powerful than right ranting Fox and Limbaugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see crazies on the fringes of left and right. The over zealous protestors in Wisc. have been condemned. When people say BHO’S GOAL is to destroy the country and the Constitution I WANT TO THROW A NET. Why would a man who owes everything to his country purposely try to destroy it? Is he a Russian communist plant.? A Manchurian Candidate? C’mon Has any other Pres. in history TRIED to destroy his country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a Dem and a Patriot A USMC V.N. VET. I love my country and have fought for it. As mentioned before I get real tired of those who tightly wrap themselves in flag and Constitution but have never served in our great country’s military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As one can imagine, I couldn’t leave that one alone, now could I? So, I once again went off on one of my tirades. Again, most familiar with me realize this is all stuff I have discussed in the past exactly like I say below. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Good lord Rich! Do you just read off a list of talking points or something? Get this straight once and for all. I don’t give one damn about ratings, polls or whatever. I give a damn about the truth as it should be put forward! I care about this country as it was founded, not about the Marxist/Socialist Dictatorship that the left seems to espouse! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I commend you for your duty! There is no higher sacrifice. However, the fact is that this country is now nothing but a sad shell of what it once was and that disintegration is being caused by the hard left slant taken by our leaders. As I say above, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to open their eyes to the truth. It just takes someone to open their eyes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I believe one could refer to Obama as a Manchurian candidate? Yes, I do. Do I believe he is purposely destroying the country? No, I don’t! I feel he is hopelessly indoctrinated in a hard left agenda that always leads to ruination wherever it has been tried. He believes it’s good because as like so many in the electorate he refuses to budge off his agenda no matter what is proven otherwise. I also personally believe he does not feel the laws pertain to him. That is my feeling as shown by his performance the last ten years. It is in his words and actions and guilt by association when you see who he has surrounded himself with. I do not believe in the agenda being put forward by the left, pure and simple. I do not believe in anything other than my country and the ideals she was founded under. As such, I cannot in good conscience support anything coming from this administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you point out, there are crazies on both sides. Unfortunately at this time the vast majority of the hate is emanating from the left. Again, that’s just fact at this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a member of the Tea Party. I am not a disgruntled Republican however. I and most of us are disgruntled Americans! As I have said in the past, we are at this point because the electorate on both side chose to either not bother to vote or those that did couldn’t take the time to take their most sacred right responsibly! There is blame on both sides, don’t get me wrong. Doesn’t change the fact that everything being put forward by the left and RINOs is hastening the destruction of this country!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One word here as to the “ranting” of Rush and others. If the silent majority would in fact get off their asses, do their homework and wake and up to the disaster that is now our government and the loss of their liberties left and right, they’ll have to coin a new word other than ranting. As the left seems to feel the only way to defend their asinine policies is to out yell the other side, heaven forbid if the majority of Americans start sounding off. A hopeful pipe dream on my part I’m afraid as it appears that most in this country only give a damn about what the Government can give them, never realizing people like me don’t own them a damn thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You fought for our rights, a country that was founded by a revolution for those very rights. While I have no problem with the freedom of people to say what they want, I do have a problem with people of any ilk who refuse to speak out against the hate, lies and deceit that is now part of the public discourse. As I said, it can be bad from both sides, but in my 60 years I honestly do not recall not only anything like what is going on now, but I sure have never seen this kind of garbage coming from the sensible thinking right! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do believe you love your country and as such, I find it even harder to understand your positions. As my assessment of Obama, that’s the conclusion I come to from his own words. Please do not take offense at this. I personally relish the discourse when I get the chance." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rich sent a nice reply with no offense taken but of course, I had more to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As long as I’m on one of my mini-tirades and please Rich, know this is not aimed at just you and the left, but everyone in this country, I want to add a few more things.&lt;br /&gt;We the people sometimes do not pay attention to all that is going on, but once we open our eyes, we act. The hateful noise coming from the hard left at this time leads me to the following. I am hopeful this is the start of a second revolution that will restore our country’s soul. I’ve said before that we need a revolution but we are the only country that can have one that is done peacefully through that ballot box. As to the Tea Party, my feelings are well known but apparently need repeating!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is apparent beyond all doubt that the establishment on both sides are deathly afraid of the so called Tea Party (and thus the electorate in general) and they well should be! For those of you who prefer to live in a cave, the Tea Party from my view is not just about returning to conservative principles. The people who are aligning themselves behind this movement are looking for so much more. We are looking for men and women of principle! We want representatives that obey the will of the people, not their leaders or their own power lust! We want a return to the bedrock principles this country was founded on! We sure as hell do not want to be told we are racists, hate mongers or all the other names we are called just because we disagree with the direction this country is being taken. We believe in free speech, not hate speech!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tea Party movement is not a fight for the heart and soul of the Republican party! A co-opted media led by a hard core left wing wanna be dictatorship government would want you to believe that it is in fact all about the Republicans. And they would be dead wrong! The Tea Party movement is a fight for the heart and soul of our country! It is a fight to return us to what made us the greatest country in the world! How sad that entrenched politicians on the right along with the tone deaf clowns on the left cannot or refuse to understand such a basic tenet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom comes at a price kids! Sit on your hands and take, take, take, you’ll lose everything! Take responsibility, work and earn your way, respect the rights of others to pursue those same goals and live as true Americans! Those who fought and died to make this melting pot the greatest country this world has ever known deserve that from all of us and if we act now, there is a chance to save it all. But time is running out and the fact that even now most of the current political class would rather punt and destroy our grandkid’s  future is disheartening to say the least. Add the hate we now see and we are in free fall! “&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-2057643807439518568?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/2057643807439518568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/leftist-hate-vs-reality-time-to-wake-up.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/2057643807439518568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/2057643807439518568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/leftist-hate-vs-reality-time-to-wake-up.html' title='Leftist Hate vs Reality?

As I started responding to a thread on another site, it hit me once again that the problem is all of us. Until we as a people realize that, we are in deep doo doo.  The thread was on Flopping Aces, one of my favorite sites as it has frank open and sometimes some quite vicious discussions as to the issues. It concerned the absolutely marvelous speech Mrs. Palin made in Wisconsin the other day. My response was as follows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah is what she is and we are blessed to have her as a spokesman. One thing for sure, she has a set that this wishy washy poor excuse of a president wishes he had!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, it must be pointed out how so many of us on this site have in fact pointed out more than once that this catastrophe that is now our government and in turn the fiscal disaster we face is in fact the fault of every piece of S… politician of either party who has chosen to put their power lust at the forefront rather than what is right for the country! Entrenched RINO scum is every bit as responsible as is the Marxist/ Leninist wanna be dictator and his lemmings on the Democratic side. I and so many others on this and other sites have in fact pointed this out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being as the MSM, the Dems led by the President and the entrenched idiots both elected and appointed are on a “spend like hell, make sure the electorate is beholden to us” rush to disaster, it once again has to be pointed out that the problem is D.C. in general but the electorate also has to accept a major part of the blame. They as always choose the candy rather than accept the responsibility. As an example, it has been proven time and again that a robust economy, stimulated by lower taxes has resulted each time in higher revenues to the Treasury. Yet we continue to spend an average of 42 cents above every dollar taken in! And what do we get from our leaders?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tax them more! We can’t stop ourselves so the hell with the public! Just be damned sure we are allowed to keep our power! Oh please MSM, make sure to keep the people ill informed so as to not jeopardize our phony baloney jobs! And the electorate, their heads firmly buried up their asses somehow keep electing these morons! Let someone speak against it they are either vilified by the opposition or as is the case ridicule from the MSM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those are the pure and simple facts, not all the rhetoric and caustic crap from the Ivans, Gregs and others of both sides who refuse to look beyond their own ideological idiocies! If I sound caustic or mad, I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our country is going down the tubes and one seems to think nothing can be done. But there is a fix. It’s called revolution through the ballot box! We as a country must get rid of the garbage that is destroying us! We must take our country back. It is the responsibility of every citizen. We as an electorate are judge and jury. We must find these clowns guilty of the high treason they are committing that is leading this country to it’s doom! I’m dead serious about this!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn’t take an elitist moron for one to see how screwed up we have become as to the very ideals that once made us what we were, the greatest country ever. Too many are now just selfish to the point they refuse remember they are Americans first!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most folks on this site (as well as here on my site) have seen my rants and raves, so you know how strongly I feel about this. Just an hour ago, SandP downgraded the nation’s debt outlook to negative! And what did we get from the morons in the administration? “It was a political move!” As always, they refuse to acknowledge the truth choosing to point a finger rather than suggesting a real remedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As to Sarah and the others. The facts remain they will be slammed by not only the Commie leaning Leftists, but also their own party. As pointed out above there are far too many who in the end care only about the power. Hell, just look at Rove! Even now, he and other moderate (God, I want to gag on that) Republicans are leading the charge against anyone who does not toe the D.C. line!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This isn’t about just Sarah or Obama or any of the other crap anymore and hasn’t been for quite a while. This is about our country. The electorate had better come to it’s senses now. We are out of time!!!!@&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-1142575962322498726?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/1142575962322498726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/sarah-electorate-and-impending-doom.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/1142575962322498726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/1142575962322498726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/sarah-electorate-and-impending-doom.html' title='Sarah, The Electorate And The Impending Doom'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-9213679118525093907</id><published>2011-04-16T15:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-16T15:50:17.469-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Budget Follies and Whining Unions and Dems</title><content type='html'>Last week we witnessed another boondoggle effort by our leaders as to addressing the out of control budget deficit. We had a ballyhooed attempt at a compromise that in the end hardly cuts crap which in turn the very person who wants to spend the most started taking credit for cutting. Cutting what?!  If one looks a t the following, we aren’t even talking 1% of spending outlays!  Good God, we are talking incredible Bull S… here! Nothing else!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Via the AP) A new budget estimate released Wednesday shows that the spending bill negotiated between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner would produce less than 1 percent of the $38 billion in promised savings by the end of this budget year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Congressional Budget Office estimate shows that compared with current spending rates the spending bill due for a House vote Thursday would cut federal outlays from non-war accounts by just $352 million through Sept. 30. About $8 billion in immediate cuts to domestic programs and foreign aid are offset by nearly equal increases in defense spending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When war funding is factored in the legislation would actually increase total federal outlays by $3.3 billion relative to current levels.&lt;br /&gt;So after this fiasco of a vote and as I noted in my earlier post, POTUS declared certain things he signed into law do not pertain to him. So as it should be with a wanna be dictator. After that, we get the Paul Ryan budget. At last, an attempt in writing to address our country’s deficit and out of control spending. Is it perfect? Probably not. But it is a start. Nor according to POTUS, tha MSM and the Commie left however! No siree! The nasty conservatives want to kill seniors, children and completely lead us into Third World status, which by the way, the left has been doing quite nicely on their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of leadership from POTUS however, we instead got one of the most hateful, ideological, partisan leftist leading speeches in the history of this great nation. Below are some great excerpts which say what I want to much more eloquently than I ever could!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Krauthammer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I thought it was a disgrace,” he said. “I rarely heard a speech by a president so shallow, so hyper-partisan and so intellectually dishonest, outside the last couple of weeks of a presidential election where you are allowed to call your opponent anything short of a traitor. But, we’re a year-and-a-half away from Election Day and it was supposed to be a speech about policy. He didn’t even get to his own alternative until more than halfway through the speech. And when he did, he threw out numbers suspended in mid-air with nothing under them with all kinds of goals and guidelines and triggers that mean nothing. The speech was really about and entirely an attack on the [Rep. Paul] Ryan plan.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Krauthammer offered up an example and showed in one scenario, the tax rates in Ryan’s plan were higher than what Obama’s own deficit commission had recommended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m going to give you one example of how dishonest it was – he went on and on how the Republicans want to steal from your grandma to lower taxes on the rich,” Krauthammer continued. “And he talked about the Bush tax cuts and how much he is going to stand on the bridge and oppose any extension which is what he knows how to do. He has done it over and over for the last six years. The Ryan plan is not about the Bush tax cuts. It transcends them. It’s what the deficit — what Obama’s own commission recommended, strip out loopholes and lower rates for everyone. It’s not about whether it’s the Bush rates or Clinton rates. It’s a whole new approach by which the Simpson-Bowles Commission recommended itself. In fact, Bowles had recommended in one of its scenarios of a high rate of 23 percent. Ryan is at 25 percent. Obama did this knowing that this is a way to play to his base. It was a speech that was quite remarkable in how demagogic it was and I say that with all due respect.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charles Krauthammer in many ways is a quiet man who speaks openly and plainly. My read on the above was it was as close as he would ever get to accusing POTUS as being a hypocritical run of the mill political bastard without saying it. The man is professional to a fault. I’m not! Next we hear from Herman Cain. A man along with Alan West I am admiring more and more every day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Herman Cain:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“President Obama’s address proved yet again that he values ideology over basic economics and leadership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His budget employs his typical class warfare tactics, insisting on taxing America’s job creators into oblivion for what he deems “fairness.” In doing so, he makes clear his willingness to further cripple our economy in exchange for pushing his wealth redistribution agenda and abandonment of the free enterprise system.&lt;br /&gt;President Obama also took the opportunity to blame everyone but his own administration for this economic disaster, shifting blame to the Bush administration, Congressional Republicans and America’s highest earners, neglecting his own administration’s reckless spending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of using this speech as an opportunity to preview a budget that could significantly pay down our mounting debt through meaningful spending cuts and entitlement reforms, he again insisted on saddling America’s job creators with an even heavier tax burden to pay down the debt. Meanwhile, Congressman Ryan proposed his own budget that reduces the national debt by $6 trillion without raising taxes on a single American family or business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most importantly, actions speak louder than words. President Obama claims that his budget proposal would cut $4 trillion in just 12 years. Can we really trust a man who vowed time and time again that his administration would cut the budget deficit in half, but instead, brought our budget deficits to record levels in just half a term in the White House?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, since President Obama just filed his re-election candidacy papers, Americans today got their first televised campaign speech for 2012: all talk, no leadership.”&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least in this vain, I reprint an article from the Wall Street Journal. This is easily one of the best columns they have put out in years and says everything I want to say!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE PRESIDENTIAL DIVIDER - reposted from The Wall Street Journal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did someone move the 2012 election to June 1? We ask because President Obama's extraordinary response to Paul Ryan's budget yesterday—with its blistering partisanship and multiple distortions—was the kind Presidents usually outsource to some junior lieutenant. Mr. Obama's fundamentally political document would have been unusual even for a Vice President in the fervor of a campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The immediate political goal was to inoculate the White House from criticism that it is not serious about the fiscal crisis, after ignoring its own deficit commission last year and tossing off a $3.73 trillion budget in February that increased spending amid a record deficit of $1.65 trillion. Mr. Obama was chased to George Washington University yesterday because Mr. Ryan and the Republicans outflanked him on fiscal discipline and are now setting the national political agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama did not deign to propose an alternative to rival Mr. Ryan's plan, even as he categorically rejected all its reform ideas, repeatedly vilifying them as essentially un-American. "Their vision is less about reducing the deficit than it is about changing the basic social compact in America," he said, supposedly pitting "children with autism or Down's syndrome" against "every millionaire and billionaire in our society." The President was not attempting to join the debate Mr. Ryan has started, but to close it off just as it begins and banish House GOP ideas to political Siberia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama then packaged his poison in the rhetoric of bipartisanship—which "starts," he said, "by being honest about what's causing our deficit." The speech he chose to deliver was dishonest even by modern political standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The great political challenge of the moment is how to update the 20th-century entitlement state so that it is affordable. With incremental change, Mr. Ryan is trying maintain a social safety net and the economic growth necessary to finance it. Mr. Obama presented what some might call the false choice of merely preserving the government we have with no realistic plan for doing so, aside from proposing $4 trillion in phantom deficit reduction over a gimmicky 12-year budget window that makes that reduction seem larger than it would be over the normal 10-year window.&lt;br /&gt;.Mr. Obama said that the typical political proposal to rationalize Medicare's gargantuan liabilities is that it is "just a matter of eliminating waste and abuse." His own plan is to double down on the program's price controls and central planning. All Medicare decisions will be turned over to and routed through an unelected commission created by ObamaCare—which will supposedly ferret out "unnecessary spending." Is that the same as "waste and abuse"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fifteen members will serve on the Independent Payment Advisory Board, all appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. If per capita costs grow by more than GDP plus 0.5%, this board would get more power, including an automatic budget sequester to enforce its rulings. So 15 sages sitting in a room with the power of the purse will evidently find ways to control Medicare spending that no one has ever thought of before and that supposedly won't harm seniors' care, even as the largest cohort of the baby boom generation retires and starts to collect benefits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama really went off on Mr. Ryan's plan to increase health-care competition and give consumers more control, barely stopping short of calling it murderous. It's hardly beyond criticism or debate, but the Ryan plan is neither Big Rock Candy Mountain nor some radical departure from American norms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama came out for further cuts in the defense budget, but where? His plan is to ask Defense Secretary Bob Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mike Mullen "to find additional savings," whatever those might be, after a "fundamental review." These mystery cuts would follow two separate, recent rounds of deep cuts that were supposed to stave off further Pentagon triage amid several wars and escalating national security threats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama rallied the left with a summons for major tax increases on "the rich." Every U.S. fiscal trouble, he claimed, flows from the Bush tax cuts "for the wealthiest 2%," conveniently passing over what he euphemistically called his own "series of emergency steps that saved millions of jobs." Apparently he means the $814 billion stimulus that failed and a new multitrillion-dollar entitlement in ObamaCare that harmed job creation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the Obama tax plan, the Bush rates would be repealed for the top brackets. Yet the "cost" of extending all the Bush rates in 2011 over 10 years was about $3.7 trillion. Some $3 trillion of that was for everything but the top brackets—and Mr. Obama says he wants to extend those rates forever. According to Internal Revenue Service data, the entire taxable income of everyone earning over $100,000 in 2008 was about $1.582 trillion. Even if all these Americans—most of whom are far from wealthy—were taxed at 100%, it wouldn't cover Mr. Obama's deficit for this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama sought more tax-hike cover under his deficit commission, seeming to embrace its proposal to limit tax deductions and other loopholes. But the commission wanted to do so in order to lower rates for a more efficient and competitive code with a broader base. Mr. Obama wants to pocket the tax increase and devote the revenues to deficit reduction and therefore more spending. So that's three significant tax increases—via higher top brackets, the tax hikes in ObamaCare and fewer tax deductions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, Mr. Obama came out for a debt "failsafe," which will require the White House and Congress to hash out a deal if by 2014 projected debt is not declining as a share of the economy. But under his plan any deal must exclude Social Security, Medicare or low-income programs. So that means more tax increases or else "making government smarter, leaner and more effective." Which, now that he mentioned it, sounds a lot like cutting "waste and abuse."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama ludicrously claimed that Mr. Ryan favors "a fundamentally different America than the one we've known throughout most of our history." Nothing is likelier to bring that future about than the President's political indifference in the midst of a fiscal crisis.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as we’re on the subject as to the President and his complete disdain for the common American citizen, I would like to point out the little letter that came from the Office of the White House Press Secretary. Can someone please tell me why the White House is shilling for the unions? Moron Alert! They are supposed to represent all of us! Not the leftist trash that is destroying the very fabric of this country. And for god’s sakes, I’m not talking about the everyday union member. I’m ranting at the leaders who openly steal your dues to promote their hard left Commie agenda! And that is exactly what is going on! The fact that the White House puts out this letter just proves how out of touch they are with the bed rock principles this country was founded on and in turn highlights their open disdain for the American people in general! When is this crap going to stop?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House&lt;br /&gt;Office of the Press Secretary&lt;br /&gt;For Immediate Release &lt;br /&gt;April 13, 2011 &lt;br /&gt;Trumka Statement on the President's Fiscal Policy Speech&lt;br /&gt;By: Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO President&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Today, President Obama gave a promise to America’s working people that he wouldn’t follow the path of the radical Republican fiscal agenda that leads to lost jobs and a national decline of standards. That commitment is essential at this crucial moment for children, students, seniors and everyone who hopes for a secure economic future.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The President also made clear that he understands why Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are so important to working people. The labor movement is equally clear that we oppose cuts to any of these critical programs – no matter who proposes them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Above all, let us refocus our national energy and attention on job creation – because successful job creation is the key to making long-term deficit reduction both easier and more politically achievable.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Republican budget proposal, by contrast, is simply a shameful wealth transfer from working people to corporate CEOs. It does not make a significant dent in the deficit. It is a fraud on the American people.  Republican leaders in Congress have shown they want a massive cut in tax rates for the wealthy and for Wall Street, and they want the middle class and the poor to pay for it in various ways, including higher health care costs, hidden tax increases and cuts in essential programs. At a time of record unemployment, each cut to our nation’s budget threatens American jobs and the Republicans’ irresponsible cuts would eliminate hundreds of thousands of them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Here’s the truth:  We cannot have an honest conversation about the deficit until we return fairness to our tax system, and that includes addressing our medium and long term fiscal problems created by the $100 billion-a-year Bush tax cuts, as President Obama made clear today. But we also must close corporate tax loopholes in a way that raises additional net revenues. We must insist that corporations and the rich pay their fair share instead of shortchanging education, health care, technology and other investments in our future. President Obama does not yet have the balance right between spending cuts and new revenue. Without significant new revenues, we will just end up balancing the budget on the backs of the poor and the middle class.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The regressive and economically destructive plan of the Fiscal Commission Chairs is not a starting point. A number of groups on the Democratic side have come forward with plans and ideas that seek to restore fiscal health, tax fairness and investments in our future. Those ideas have to be the way forward to create an economy in which our children can thrive, with a renewed focus on creating good jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, I have my laugh for the day. Poor Nancy Pelosi is crying because she was left out of the budget negotiations in the exact same way the President and his party refused to include the Republicans in any way as they pushed their socialist healthcare plan and agenda down the throats of the American public! And The MSM actually is trumpeting her cause! These assholes refused to point out how the administration actually told the opposition to take a hike and now ant us to feel bad about how the Dems are being treated? This is indeed what I would call an Alfred E. Newman moment, except I’m afraid that even Mad Magazine couldn’t make this up! I found this on various sites and news agencies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelosi:&lt;br /&gt;“To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors. Because there are so many things at risk right now -- perhaps in another question I'll go into them, if you want. But the fact is that elections shouldn't matter as much as they do...But when it comes to a place where there doesn't seem to be shared values then that can be problematic for the country, as I think you can see right now.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Washington Post:&lt;br /&gt;“House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi complained Thursday her caucus was shut out of the negotiating process last week when congressional leaders and the White House hammered out a 2011 spending deal that avoided a government shutdown.&lt;br /&gt;The California Democrat added she feels “no ownership” to the compromise.&lt;br /&gt;“It’s pretty evident House Democrats were not a part of that agreement,” said Mrs. Pelosi during her weekly briefing with reporters at the Capitol. “The Republicans in the House, the Democrats in the Senate — the two majorities — they were the ones who had the votes so they have the strength to negotiate.”&lt;br /&gt;“I feel no ownership of that or any responsibility to it, except that we don’t want the government to shut down.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a surprise. She’s so out of touch, she believes she should still be relevant! The amazing thing here is that the President and his propaganda arm are actually paying her lip service! How much more disgusting can they get in their stances and whining? One really wonders if there is a leader of any kind on the left and for that matter if the right has anyone who in the long haul has the balls to stand up and fight for what is left of our country!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-9213679118525093907?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/9213679118525093907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/budget-follies-and-whining-unions-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/9213679118525093907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/9213679118525093907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/budget-follies-and-whining-unions-and.html' title='Budget Follies and Whining Unions and Dems'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-3774286338983979724</id><published>2011-04-16T15:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-16T15:09:29.229-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hypocrisy On Parade: Lies and Deceit</title><content type='html'>Before I get into the budget fiasco on my next post and what I consider a complete disconnect (I’m going to try and be civil today, not crass as I’ve been lately), I want to just throw a mention out there as to the lying hypocrisy practiced by the occupant ( I’m finding it to be an insult to the office addressing him as President) of the Oval Office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, we have him on an interview with George Stepanopolous in which he reveals a past vote cast for political reasons only along with a lame “Well, I was a new senator” excuse!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As Obama revealed to George Stephanopoulos, he voted on the basis of what was politically expedient.  In effect, he voted with his party to embarrass and make things difficult for George Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In response to Stephanopoulos’ query on that vote, Obama said, “I think that it’s important to understand the vantage point of a Senator versus the vantage point of a . . . President.  When you’re a Senator, traditionally what’s happened is this is always a lousy vote.  Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit for the United States by a trillion dollars. . . As President, you start realizing, “You know what?  We–we can’t play around with this stuff.  This is the full faith in credit of the United States.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then pled inexperience: ”And so that was just a example of a new Senator,  you know, making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country,” and had to add a plug for his unique honesty, ”And I’m the first one to acknowledge it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He pleads inexperience?! The man shows exactly what is wrong with Washington and politicians in general, that being their standings as prostitudes are in fact intact. But it doesn’t stop there, not with this clown! We have the following! In effect, he once again puts himself above the law and in turn into his perceived lordship position of self ordained dictator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Althouse and Jake Tapper:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One rider [to the bill] – Section 2262 -- de-funds certain White House adviser positions – or “czars.” The president in his signing statement declares that he will not abide by it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The President has well-established authority to supervise and oversee the executive branch, and to obtain advice in furtherance of this supervisory authority,” he wrote. “The President also has the prerogative to obtain advice that will assist him in carrying out his constitutional responsibilities, and do so not only from executive branch officials and employees outside the White House, but also from advisers within it. Legislative efforts that significantly impede the President's ability to exercise his supervisory and coordinating authorities or to obtain the views of the appropriate senior advisers violate the separation of powers by undermining the President's ability to exercise his constitutional responsibilities and take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, the president wrote, “the executive branch will construe section 2262 not to abrogate these Presidential prerogatives.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words: we know what you wanted that provision to do, but we don’t think it’s constitutional, so we will interpret it differently than the way you meant it.&lt;br /&gt;During his presidential campaign, then-Senator Obama was quite critical of the Bush administration’s uses of signing statements telling the Boston Globe in 2007 that the “problem” with the Bush administration “is that it has attached signing statements to legislation in an effort to change the meaning of the legislation, to avoid enforcing certain provisions of the legislation that the President does not like, and to raise implausible or dubious constitutional objections to the legislation.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then-Sen. Obama said he would “not use signing statements to nullify or undermine congressional instructions as enacted into law.”&lt;br /&gt;Once again, his words and actions reek with hypocrisy! Again as I’m trying to be gentile here, I’ll omit my slant which roughly translates to B.S.! He openly claims legislation which he signed does not pertain to him! And one wonders why the American Presidency is now the laughing stock of the free world? Doesn’t it seem the world is happily watching as we regress into Third World status (something which the POTUS claims is being caused by those no good nasty Conservatives, not his Marxist/Leninist policies)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MSM of course refuses to take him to task on any of his lies or reversals. He has proven in his actions he will do what it takes to keep power and just the two examples cited above should prove that. Not only does he think he is above the law, but he actually feels he has the right to lie too and deceive the electorate. It seems he sees himself as a king of some sort and heaven forbid if one questions him! I for one am tired of it. My country does not deserve this!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-3774286338983979724?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/3774286338983979724/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/hypocrisy-on-parade-lies-and-deceit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3774286338983979724'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3774286338983979724'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/hypocrisy-on-parade-lies-and-deceit.html' title='Hypocrisy On Parade: Lies and Deceit'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-746938696166649740</id><published>2011-04-11T11:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-11T11:21:14.976-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Budget, State and Foerign Policy Lunacy!</title><content type='html'>There is just so much I want to comment on today, I don’t know where to start! So bear with me kids. It’s going to be a long one! LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose the best place to begin today would be with the budget. We have the President and the main media morons claiming “leadership” as to last weeks fiasco. It’s almost enough to make me puke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lost in all of this is the fact that one hardly hears any mention of the Dems failure to pass the budget last year as required. From the lying sack of crap in the White House to the propaganda industry they control, it's not their fault! How so many in the public refuse to recognize the failure on the Dems part is just an indication of how indoctrination in the schools combined with the welfare society these scum bags on both sides of the aisle is destroying the very fabric of this great country! Having said that, here are a few snippets I’ve stumbled across in the last few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From various sources:&lt;br /&gt;The federal debt increased $54.1 billion in the eight days preceding the deal made by President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) and House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) to cut $38.5 billion in federal spending for the remainder of fiscal year 2011, which runs through September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again from various sources but something I feel is true:&lt;br /&gt;House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said Sunday that White House senior adviser David Plouffe is not being honest when he says that President Barack Obama has been leading the discussion on cutting taxes and reducing the deficit.&lt;br /&gt;“We’ve had to bring this president kicking and screaming to the table to cut spending,” Cantor said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I then hear they’re going to present a plan as to how to address the fiscal situation…. In my opinion, It’s really hard to believe what this president is saying.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little headline I found. I’m not sure if it should be in the joke department or the garbage:  "George Soros Says The US Should Take On More Debt And Not Be Obsessed With Budget Cuts"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there is this By The Prowler in the American Spectator:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STANDOFF CYNICISM&lt;br /&gt;No one can say that President Barack Obama and his administration weren't thinking of the American people during the budget standoff with Republicans. Their inconvenience was very much on his mind.&lt;br /&gt;According to White House sources, in the weeks leading up to last week's push for a budget deal, the President approved plans that had the White House and federal agencies looking at every federal government resource that entailed public interaction, and whether it could be shut down during a closure of the government -- even if under normal government closures those resources would have or could have remained open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The goal was to inflict as much inconvenience and pain on the American public and lock them into supporting the Administration's perspective on the budget fight," says a White House source. "It was our nuclear option, but we saw how a government shutdown under Gingrich just destroyed Republican standing with the public, and we felt we could achieve that kind of damage and more, even if we really didn't have to." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, a number of websites that provide the public with information about everything from Social Security options to veterans services, even public-private educational websites operated by the Smithsonian, would have been shut down by the Obama Administration had a government closure taken place Saturday morning. "Those sites don't even involve government employees to operate, but we were going to shut them down anyway just to hit home the right message with the public," says the White House aide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;White House sources say some agencies, like the Smithsonian, which manages a number of the museums and Washington attractions tourists prize most during their visits, pushed back on shutting down the websites, but were overridden by the White House. &lt;br /&gt;While about 800,000 federal employees might not have gone to work on Monday, the White House did have options to ensure that visitors to Washington got at least some of their tax-dollars worth. For example, the Smithsonian could have been identified as a federal program requiring "essential personnel," so that public-facing employees, such as security guards, docents, and exhibit managers, would be present to enable tourists to visit the museums. Also, museum employees covered by private foundation grants for specific exhibits could have been deployed. But the Obama Administration shot down all those plans, putting in place a draconian government shutdown plan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Basically, making life easy for the American public was not something that would have helped us," says another White House aide. "We controlled the executive branch and the federal environment. How could we basically do what would have been great for tourists, and then have media reports showing business as usual in Washington for tourists that undercut our arguments and our fight?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, the Soros thing is beyond amazing! He would have us piss away our entire future and spend nothing other than the phony money this lost in space government is printing! The sad part is, in listening to the talking points being put forward by President Bozo’s henchmen, he wants to take a scalpel rather than an axe to the budget and invest! Invest, for you moonbeam lobbies out there is their way of saying “spend like hell more of what we don’t have”. After all, our kids and grandkids are going to be stuck with it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about this for a start? $200 billion in spending on redundant programs and useless government employees! And I don’t want to hear the crying about these folks loosing their jobs. They aren’t doing anything space cadets! Some legitimate estimates that go as high as 25% in waste and funds that cannot even be accounted for! And let’s not forget NPR,CPB, Planned Parenthood and any other entity that if the public wants it, let them support it themselves (and for you libbies out there, this also means programs supported by the entrenched Rep. scumbags as well. I am after all an equal opportunity disser when given the chance)! I could go on and on. The point is a $38 billion cut for the rest of the fiscal year is just another slap in the American people’s face!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we are now seeing our leader, you know, the one who had his ass against the wall and will be more than happy to abandon his Soviet style agenda only long enough so as to keep his sorry ass position. Not only is this clown taking credit for basically nothing, but he’ll use it to show he “is listening and thus deserves re-election! Anyone who is foolish enough to even remotely believe this clown has changed his stripes is either stone cold dumb or completely ideologically brain dead! Even if he pays the right some lip service, the moment he’s assured another 4 years, he will finish forcing this country into Soviet style government. That is and always has been his mantra as evidenced by his own words, actions and associates! In my book, guilty as charged!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vilification of Paul Ryan has already started as well as the scare tactics by the left! As evidenced by the media slant, they are going to paint the right as extremists. Yet as evidenced above "The goal was to inflict as much inconvenience and pain on the American public and lock them into supporting the Administration's perspective on the budget fight," And they call this leadership from the President? More like stone cold treason in my book and if nothing else, it once again shows the utter disdain this elitist asshole and his minions have for the American public!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, a quick comment as to the farce going on in Wisconsin. As one now knows, a conservative in the end won the Supreme Court election. There was an issue that was resolved before the results were sent out to the press, something that the Union owned left is choosing to not disclose. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has to be noted that a major Democrat who participated in the vote count and the subsequent discovery of the 7,500 omitted votes validated that it was an honest error and approved the final vote tally. She is acknowledged by many people  from both parties as a lifelong union member, a Democrat and as honest as they come!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every now and then an honest Democrat appears! Kudos Ramona Kitzinger! Your party could learn a thing or two from you! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shouldn’t be too long now before the scum on the left starts demonizing another one of their own now, should it? After all, in the union owned Democratic Party, having someone actually tell the truth or show some moral backbone is tantamount to treason, isn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the “You can’t make this crap up” segment of today’s post, we have the following.:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Arab League Chief Amr Moussa said the organization will ask the UN to impose a no-fly zone over Gaza, which Israel has pounded with air strikes in response to rocket fire... "the Arab bloc in the United Nations has been directed to ask for the convention of the Security Council to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza and impose a no-fly zone."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One cannot make this crap up! Get yourself attacked but do not under any circumstance defend yourself. Or better still, make damn sure Israel is treated as the pariah we, the Muslim world say it is! Seems to be what they're saying.&lt;br /&gt;As this moronic proposal winds its way through the farce known as the U.N., I’m wondering what our Anti-Israeli President will have to say. One guess is he’ll be leading the charge to shut down Israel’s right to defend themselves from the murderous bastards of Hamas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least for sure is what should be the laugh for the day except for the fact that not only are these idiots serious, but I would be deathly afraid that this Commie bum (and yes, as I’ve said before I do believe in my heart he is all of that) would actually be stupid enough to allow something like this:&lt;br /&gt;From the Telegraph:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A top Kremlin official has told the United States Russia wants “red button” rights to a new US-backed missile defense system for Europe, a move that would allow it to influence the shield’s day-to-day operational use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Sergey Ivanov, Russia’s deputy prime minister, made the controversial demand during a visit to the United States where he met with top officials including Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We insist on only one thing,” he said of the nascent US-backed missile defense shield. “That we are an equal part of it.”&lt;br /&gt;“In practical terms, that means that our office will sit for example in Brussels and agree on a red-button push to launch an interceptor missile, regardless of whether the missile is launched from Poland, Russia or the UK.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-746938696166649740?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/746938696166649740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/budget-state-and-foerign-policy-lunacy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/746938696166649740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/746938696166649740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/budget-state-and-foerign-policy-lunacy.html' title='Budget, State and Foerign Policy Lunacy!'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-1681163744021794991</id><published>2011-04-11T10:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-11T10:13:11.953-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Blackhawks Back To Defend Lord Stanley's Cup!!!!</title><content type='html'>Before I get off on my tirades for the day on my next post, I would like to point out that my beloved Blackhawks have made it into the playoffs, albeit through the back door. All records are even now and they’re getting their injured players back. Big hopes as always!  One other comment on this!&lt;br /&gt;Last night I watched a great hockey game. The reason I mention this (not only because the Stars loss got my beloved Blackhawks into the playoffs) is because quite honestly, I'm at the point where I could care less about the other three sports, especially football and baseball. The way these sports have become what they are on the professional level has pretty much destroyed them as an enjoyable attraction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now back to the Minnesota Wild. In the other sports we hear all the garbage as to the "professionalism" of the players, the integrity of the teams and all the other B.S. Yet let a team in any other sport be eliminated from contention they will at once fold up their tents and just go through the motions. Get it out of their hair and go home, the hell with the fans, you know, those who pay through the yang to watch Professionals!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, we saw a team going nowhere play with pride! We hear it all the time from the talking heads, but we never see it! Last night we did. I salute the Minnesota Wild Hockey team. They could have laid back and helped eliminate a bitter rival. They didn't! This is a lesson not only in pride, but in doing your job to the best of your ability every time, everyday! I would not think twice about using that team as an example of what sports and sportsmen should be for my grandkids! I cannot honestly say that about any of the other sports!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-1681163744021794991?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/1681163744021794991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/blackhawks-back-to-defend-lord-stanleys.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/1681163744021794991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/1681163744021794991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/blackhawks-back-to-defend-lord-stanleys.html' title='Blackhawks Back To Defend Lord Stanley&apos;s Cup!!!!'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-8981223213762559880</id><published>2011-04-08T12:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-08T15:00:59.245-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Random Comments: The Scum That Is D.C. Politicians!</title><content type='html'>Today, I am beyond mad. We are being told so many lies by this administration and government in general. We are told a legislative branch that had an insurmountable majority couldn’t pass a budget due to the minority blocking them.  We’re being told the economy is improving. We’re being told inflation is minimal while fuel and food prices are going through the roof!  We can’t drill for oil here, but we can give money to Brazil to do it! All of this spite aimed towards the American people continues unabated while the powers that be happily go about the destruction of our country! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First today, I have to comment on the pathetic performance art being put forward as budget negotiations! Can anyone out there tell me what those idiots do not understand about the fact that spending must be cut?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moron Alert! The President is being portrayed by the scum in the MSM as being the “adult figure” as to the budget negotiations! What am I missing here? This guy has been AWOL from day one! He sure as hell hasn’t bothered to do any leading on the subject, that’s for damned sure! He and his Democratic cohorts had an insurmountable majority yet chose to not pass a budget last year. He’s out there with the best of them blaming the other side, but he sure as hell isn’t blaming himself! Leading? Adult Figure? The man wouldn’t know leadership if it crawled up his rear end!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lost in all of this is the fact that one hardly hears any mention of the Dems failure to pass the budget last year as required. From the lying sack of crap in the White House to the propaganda industry they control, it's not their fault! And let’s not forget that space cadet Harry Reid! Today, he’s whining about the fact that the cherry Blossom Festival might be jeopardized!  How so many in the public refuse to recognize the failure on the Dems part is just an indication of how indoctrination in the schools combined with the welfare society these scum bags on both sides of the aisle is destroying the very fabric of this great country!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if the lies about the budget aren’t enough, we have the wonderful lost kids in government telling us we’ve turned the corner! The economy is recovering fine! Ask them. They’ll tell you so!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joke of the year, but not funny. It’s being reported there were only 382,000 new unemployment claims. The economy added 216,000 jobs last week. The economy is turning around!!! Everything is fine now! Trust your government. Their tax and spend policies haven’t destroyed business! It’s turning around! Must be true! Katie said so!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OOPS! Moron alert!!!!! If I’m looking at the weekly figures correctly (after all I am a dumb Neanderthal conservative and not a “learned head up my ass elite Ivy League genius” like our hallowed leader), that translates to a net loss of 166,000 jobs! That has been the same pattern every reported period, yet we get the “things are turning around” lies from the no counts in D.C.! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone has some “splainin” to do Lucy! The lies continue to pour out as the country goes down in flames, a pattern we have seen way to often in past failed hard left Socialist dictatorships! Someone has to start listening to the truth before it’s too late!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A comment as to the insane murders going on in Afghanistan that were caused, according to the Muslim wackos by the idiot Terry Jones. (Note here: My son-in law is over there and unfortunately saw 2 children he had grown quite close too killed by these morons! He is upset with them as well as Jones, but like he said to me, the free speech here at home should never be used by ideological morons to justify this kind of moral outrage: His words)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terry Jones is not responsible for this (and yes I concede he’s an idiot). Unfortunately as usual we have the “America should feel guilty about everything” legion out there that refuses to put responsibility on the shoulders of those who deserve it, namely the murderous radicals blinded by religious or cult like fury! I posted this on another site a couple of days ago, but it fits right in here also.&lt;br /&gt;“And yet we have people here and in other countries informing us we should not and will not be allowed to exercise our constitutional freedoms under the guise of hate speech, intolerance or whatever one wants to call it! Burn a Koran, you will be charged with a hate crime. Burn the bible, that’s fine! Criticize Mohamed, you are a hater. Piss Jesus? That’s art!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why isn’t everyone in this country outraged? LOL! I’m assuming I’ve posted enough here so one can imagine the word outraged doesn’t quite fit what I feel about this nonsense !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One doesn’t have to agree with the Terry Jones (the man is just another self-centered religious bigot) of the world but we sure as hell have to defend his right to do as he did. If I’m supposed to turn the other cheek when some commie bastard burns my flag, I sure as hell need to do the same in this and any other case! As much as I hate to admit it, he is correct on one thing. The idiocy we are now seeing over there does prove one of his points. The intolerance of these religious fanatics is beyond reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One other thing here as long as I’m on my soapbox. It is high time the people of this country stand up for their ideals. If I want to draw a satiric cartoon of Mohamed with his virgin harems, that is my right in this country. Yet, we have a rabid element starting with our President that wants to take that and other sacred rights away form us! We have a press who is afraid to offend and as such will not publish the truth about so many things. Personally, I don’t care who worships what! But I sure as hell care when one infringes upon another, especially with violence (Irish take note. Same idiocy there as I’m an equal opportunity disser. I mention this because once again religious fanatics are setting off bombs in Ireland. Same idiocy in my book!).” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another comment. While the budget impasse has been going on, our erstwhile leader decided he had to go speak at an event with that wonderful racist Al Sharpton. Gotta take care of what’s important I guess. The hell with the country’s deficit problems! Priorities!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gotta be careful here. I was taken to task on another website by someone who didn’t have the balls to comment on my site (I don’t and won’t block anyone. I want the feedback) as being a hard core white racist! My, crime? Using the President’s words. actions and associations against him in my assessments and comments as to his sad sack administration. Whenever one points out inconsistencies (can’t use the words “outright lies and hypocrisy”), I and others are branded racist. If one points out the shameful actions by the DOJ as to the Black Panther voter intimidation, we are branded racist. If one points out the need for self responsibility rather than earning one’s way, we are branded racist. And on and on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any way one looks at this, if they will just open their mind and actually look and listen, read and study, and take their so called leader at face value as to his words and actions, the end result is clear. They would have to come to the conclusions I and others have. I believe in guilt by association, by one’s words and one’s actions. Obama is exactly what he has always been. A Marxist/Socialist/ Anti-Israeli/Anti-American ideals hard lefty. Pure and simple. He will lie and ignore the laws of the land to achieve his set goals. And since he and his lackeys have no sound basis as to explain their wayward actions, they and their followers will continue to throw whatever they can put there to turn the attention away from their deceit. And the racism charge will always be number one. I know. I’ve been branded as such for simply pointing out the facts! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it gets even better! Saw this headline on a site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite Huge Fuel Cost Increases, Networks Criticize Airfare Hikes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what do we have in the media? They are taking the air to task for raising their prices. The hell with the fact that fuel prices have almost doubled as this President apparently wanted! After all, he said so in his campaign. And of course, just the other day he chastised a citizen at a meeting telling him if he’s that worried about the prices the citizen should trade in his gas guzzler for a more efficient car. Once again, our chief loony tune had to talk down to a citizen who is worried about being priced out of even being able to go to work. The hell with the fact that this person didn’t even say what he was driving. He just had the veracity to question his President, you know, the person this citizens taxes are paying the salary on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I found the following on Alan Caruba’s “Warning Signs” site. As always, he hits it on the head! Not really much I can add here without going off on a tirade so I’ll let it speak for itself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In two years, the nation has accumulated debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as its entire prior history since the day George Washington took office. In January 2009, when President Obama was sworn into office, the national debt was $10.627 trillion. Today it is $14.052 trillion and rising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leadership that the world has long looked to America to provide has dissipated. The nations of the West, in particular the European socialist nations, have also spent themselves into penury. Portugal is the latest to cry out for help. Greece, Ireland, Spain, all once among the great powers, have drained their coffers with cradle-to-grave assurances that the government would always pick up the tab.&lt;br /&gt;After two years in which every regulatory obstacle, including an illegal “moratorium” on deep water drilling for oil was imposed, the price of West Texas crude oil went from $38.74 a barrel to $99.02. Other commodities, soybeans, sugar, and corn have all seen similar increases. The price of corn has more than doubled in just twelve months. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America has enormous reserves of oil, coal, and natural gas. It has long been a giant agricultural economy, but all this potential wealth is being throttled by men and women in the Obama administration who think Americans must be forced to change their driving and eating habits. In a consumer-driven economy, they want Americans to consume less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When President Obama was sworn in, there were 2,600,000 long-term unemployed. Today there are 9,193,000 Americans in that category. People living in poverty in America have, in just two year’s time, gone from 39,800,000 to 43,600,000. This occurred during a time when massive “bailouts” were undertaken by the government. They are now widely regarded as failures.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I ran across this little gem. As we have witnessed the Union thuggery in Wisconsin and around the country with the MSM of course pushing the union side. Either way, it’s not the least bit surprising that a union morn would liken his job to slavery. After all, when one watches some of these government employees do their job, it sure seems like they’re being paid to do nothing! Heaven forbid they’d actually have to work!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Right Wing News: Warner Todd Huston:&lt;br /&gt;“John Gage, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), recently said at the National Press Club that if there is a government shut down and his member’s luxurious paychecks don’t get paid out on time, he’d use using the 13th Amendment as his legal basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 13th Amendment essentially ended slavery and indentured servitude in 1865 at the close of the Civil War. Gage says that having to work during a government shut down and if their paychecks are not issued in a timely manner, then these poor, poor government union members are somehow just like the slaves.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-8981223213762559880?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/8981223213762559880/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/random-comments-scum-that-is-dc.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/8981223213762559880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/8981223213762559880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/04/random-comments-scum-that-is-dc.html' title='Random Comments: The Scum That Is D.C.

Pat Boone is a true American who willingly voices his heartfelt thoughts and concerns as to our nation. There is really not much I can add to this as most who follow me know how I feel about not only this President, but also every Anti-American ideal politician now in office. As I have more than once tried to make these same observations, allow me to share Mr. Boone's thoughts with you all. and Thank You Pat, not only for your true patriotism but also for the joy you have brought us all in your entertainment endeavors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Pat Boone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "We're no longer a Christian nation." - President Barack Obama, June 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "America has been arrogant." - President Barack Obama&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "After 9/11, America didn't always live up to her ideals."- President Barack Obama&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "You might say that America is a Muslim nation."- President Barack Obama, Egypt 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking about these and other statements made by the man who wears the title of president. I keep wondering what country he believes he's president of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one of my very favorite stories, Edward Everett Hale's "The Man without a Country," a young Army lieutenant named Philip Nolan stands condemned for treason during the Revolutionary War, having come under the influence of Aaron Burr. When the judge asks him if he wishes to say anything before sentence is passed, young Nolan defiantly exclaims, "Damn the United States ! I wish I might never hear of the United States again!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stunned silence in the courtroom is palpable, pulsing. After a long pause, the judge soberly says to the angry lieutenant: "You have just pronounced your own sentence. You will never hear of the United States again.. I sentence you to spend the rest of your life at sea, on one or another of this country's naval vessels--under strict orders that no one will ever speak to you again about the country you have just cursed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it was. Philip Nolan was taken away and spent the next 40 years at sea, never hearing anything but an occasional slip of the tongue about America. The last few pages of the story, recounting Nolan's dying hours in his small stateroom--now turned into a shrine to the country he foreswore--never fail to bring me to tears. And I find my own love for this dream, this miracle called America, refreshed and renewed. I know how blessed and unique we are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But reading and hearing the audacious, shocking statements of the man who was recently elected our president--a young black man living the impossible dream of millions of young Americans, past and present, black and white--I want to ask him, "Just what country do you think you're president of?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You surely can't be referring to the United States of America, can you? America is emphatically a Christian nation, and has been from its inception! Seventy percent of her citizens identify themselves as Christian. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were framed, written and ratified by Christians. It's because this was, and is, a nation built on and guided by Judeo-Christian biblical principles that you, sir, have had the inestimable privilege of being elected her president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You studied law at Harvard, didn't you, sir? You taught constitutional law in Chicago? Did you not ever read the statement of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and an author of the landmark "Federalist Papers": " Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers--and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation--to select and prefer Christians for their rulers"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In your studies, you surely must have read the decision of the Supreme Court in 1892: "Our lives and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphaticallyChristian."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did your professors have you skip over all the high-court decisions right up till the mid 1900's that echoed and reinforced these views and intentions? Did you pick up the history of American jurisprudence only in 1947, when for the first time a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson about a "wall of separation between church and state" was used to deny some specific religious expression--contrary to Jefferson 's intent with that statement?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or, wait a minute: were your ideas about America 's Christianity formed during the 20 years you were a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ under your pastor, Jeremiah Wright? Is that where you got the idea that " America is no longer a Christian nation"? Is this where you, even as you came to call yourself a Christian, formed the belief that " America has been arrogant"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if that's the understandable explanation of your damning of your country and accusing the whole nation (not just a few military officials trying their best to keep more Americans from being murdered by jihadists) of "not always living up to her ideals," how did you come up with the ridiculous, alarming notion that we might be"considered a Muslim nation"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it because there are some 2 million or more Muslims living here, trying to be good Americans? Out of a current population of over 300 million, 70 percent of whom are Christians? Does that make us, by any rational definition, a "Muslim nation"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are we not, then, a "Chinese nation"? A "Korean nation"? Even a "Vietnamese nation"? There are even more of these distinct groups in America than Muslims. And if the distinction you're trying to make is a religious one, why is America not "a Jewish nation"? There's actually a case to be made for the latter, because our Constitution--and the success of our Revolution and founding--owe a deep debt to our Jewish brothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you stopped to think what an actual MuslimAmerica would be like? Have you ever really spent much time in Iran ? Even in Egypt ? You, having been instructed in Islam as a kid at a Muslim school in Indonesia and saying you still love the call to evening prayers, can surely picture our nation founded on the Quran, not the Judeo-Christian Bible, and living under Shariah law. Can't you? You do recall Muhammad's directives [Surah 9:5,73] to "break the cross" and "kill the infidel"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems increasingly and painfully obvious that you are more influenced by your upbringing and questionable education than most suspected. If you consider yourself the president of a people who are "no longer Christian," who have "failed to live up to our ideals," who "have been arrogant," and might even be "considered Muslim"--you are president of a country most Americans don't recognize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could it be you are a president without a country?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-4339240965948815060?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/4339240965948815060/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/03/open-letter-from-pat-boone.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4339240965948815060'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4339240965948815060'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/03/open-letter-from-pat-boone.html' title='An Open Letter From Pat Boone'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-6184532455243933994</id><published>2011-03-26T08:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-26T08:21:49.794-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Presdient of  Who? Obama's Disconnect With the Real World</title><content type='html'>As I write this, our so called leader has embroiled us in another lost cause, that being interceding in the Libya civil war. This morning, the President gave us peasants his take on the situation. After one reads his words below, we are as always with this Bozo left with absolutely nothing as to what is really going on! One question here. If this is a no-fly zone, why are we bombing targets on the ground? As we know they are using civilians as shields, how many more "innocent Libyans are being slaughtered?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; From his radio address: &lt;br /&gt;“Last week, when I ordered our armed forces to help protect the Libyan people from the brutality of Moammar Qaddafi, I pledged to keep the American people fully informed. Since then, I’ve spoken about the limited scope and specific purpose of this mission. Today, I can report that thanks to our brave men and women in uniform, we’ve made important progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I firmly believe that when innocent people are being brutalized; when someone like Qaddafi threatens a bloodbath that could destabilize an entire region; and when the international community is prepared to come together to save many thousands of lives—then it’s in our national interest to act. And it’s our responsibility. This is one of those times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re succeeding in our mission. We’ve taken out Libya’s air defenses. Qaddafi’s forces are no longer advancing across Libya. In places like Benghazi, a city of some 700,000 that Qaddafi threatened to show “no mercy,” his forces have been pushed back. So make no mistake, because we acted quickly, a humanitarian catastrophe has been avoided and the lives of countless civilians—innocent men, women and children—have been saved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This military effort is part of our larger strategy to support the Libyan people and hold the Qaddafi regime accountable. Together with the international community, we’re delivering urgent humanitarian assistance. We’re offering support to the Libyan opposition. We’ve frozen tens of billions of dollars of Qaddafi’s assets that can help meet the needs and aspirations of the Libyan people. And every day, the pressure on Qaddafi and his regime is increasing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our message is clear and unwavering. Qaddafi’s attacks against civilians must stop. His forces must pull back. Humanitarian assistance must be allowed to reach those in need. Those responsible for violence must be held accountable. Moammar Qaddafi has lost the confidence of his people and the legitimacy to rule, and the aspirations of the Libyan people must be realized.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let’s get this straight. Innocent people were being killed for over two weeks while Mr. “I take my orders from the morons at the U.N. and my Radical Muslim cousins” sat on his ass while “trying to get permission to attack. Never mind that there was the same kind of situation in other countries! What the hell, who cares if innocent Iranis or Syrians or whatever are killed. At the same time he sanctions this action, his administration is lobbying for 1.7 million in aid to Libya! &lt;br /&gt;So, finally after over two weeks, who takes the lead. It sure as hell wasn’t the leader of the free world! No siree! We let the biggest cowards in the history of the world take the lead, the capitalists known as the French! As I saw on another sight, “Obama is the first President in our history who has refused the title leader of the free world:”. No truer words have ever been spoken. This president has turned over the leadership of the free world to the radical Muslim/Leftists in the U.N.! And the world will suffer for this! No coherent policy here. Then we have what might be the real reason for action below. Would one be the least bit surprised if true?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Time:&lt;br /&gt;“President Barack Obama says he’s intervening to prevent atrocities in Libya. But details of behind-the-scenes debates at the White House show he’s going to war in part to rehabilitate an idea … the president and some of his advisers are so eager to rehabilitate the idea of preventive intervention that they’re exaggerating the violence they say they are intervening to prevent in Libya. “The effort to shoe-horn this into an imminent genocide model is strained,” says one senior administration official. That’s dangerous. Americans deserve an honest explanation when their leaders take them to war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama and his aides know they are taking a big risk. “It’s a huge gamble,” says the senior administration official. The administration knows, for example, that al Qaeda, which has active cells in Libya, will try to exploit the power vacuum that will come with a weak or ousted Gaddafi.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So finally after 2 weeks and someone yanking his little gonads, he finally commits!Then what does he do? Off to Brazil to sign an agreement giving them money to help them drill for oil in the gulf so we can but it! So not only do the taxpayers get to pay for all the drilling, we then get to buy the oil with money that is quickly becoming worthless due to the fact the government while lying to our faces saying they would never do such a thing is printing money faster than they can spend it!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if that’s not bad enough, we have the below news item, certainly not a surprise for those of us who were even remotely paying attention for the last twenty years or so but surely shocking to the administration (sarcasm here kids). As this is the most Anti-Semite President in our history and one who I feel is extremely Pro-Muslim, one would think they not only did they in fact know this was going to happen, but they endorse it! You know, the “peaceful organization known as  The Muslim Brotherhood, one that is hard set on the eradication of Israel and establishment of fundamentalist Muslim regimes. And folks wonder why we question this clown?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In post-revolutionary Egypt, where hope and confusion collide in the daily struggle to build a new nation, religion has emerged as a powerful political force, following an uprising that was based on secular ideals. The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group once banned by the state, is at the forefront, transformed into a tacit partner with the military government that many fear will thwart fundamental changes.&lt;br /&gt;It is also clear that the young, educated secular activists who initially propelled the nonideological revolution are no longer the driving political force — at least not at the moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the best organized and most extensive opposition movement in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood was expected to have an edge in the contest for influence. But what surprises many is its link to a military that vilified it.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While all of this is going on, what about Israel? Well, hell, the Palestinians are lobbying bombs and missiles over there and of course we have the horrible massacre of a Jewish family in their beds. Yet hardly a peep from Sheik Obama! And what is the missile attacks called? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Reuters:&lt;br /&gt;Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian strike.&lt;br /&gt;An Israeli term?!  Good Greif! This is what it’s come to. An attack by these radical Muslim numb nuts can’t even be called what it is! And what about condemnation from Sheik Obama! Haven’t heard any yet! No surprise there though. Heaven forbid this clown stand behind Israel! Might piss off the Radical Muslim side!&lt;br /&gt;Time to change course here. Earlier this week, we had the head of Homeland Security state the borders are more secure than ever before. Of course, this comes under the line of “incredible bullshit! Not only is that an outright lie, but we also have the fact that the government allowed shipment of arms to the Mexican scum go unchecked! &lt;br /&gt;And the clown in charge of the DOJ had to know it! He had to!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From CBS:&lt;br /&gt;“In an exclusive interview with CBS News, the lead ATF official in Mexico at the time Darren Gil says somebody in the Justice Department did know about the case. Gil says his supervisor at ATF’s Washington D.C. headquarters told him point-blank the operation was approved even higher than ATF Director Kenneth Melson.&lt;br /&gt;“Is the director aware of this,” Gil asked the supervisor. Gil says his supervisor answered “Yes, the director’s aware of it. Not only is the director aware of it, D.O.J.’s aware of it… Department of Justice was aware of it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s been obvious from the start that Eric Holder is easily the most incompetent AG we have ever had in our history. His handling of this along with his complete bungling of the Black Panther voting scandal is beyond ridiculous. One would think it couldn’t get worse! Wrong!  Our Racist Muslim leaning AG rushed to the defense of a teacher in Chicago (big surprise here) who demanded 3 weeks off so she could travel to Mecca on a Hadj. She’s been there 9 months and demands this. Of course, the school board said no and here comes the knight in shining armor to once again set us non-believers straight! What else can it be? We are being forced by our own leaders to cow tow to everything Muslim, everyone else be damned. Question it, you’re a bigot! Well so be it. I’m a bigot. Holder, get your head out of your ass and start defending the laws of this country. Nothing gives you the right to circumvent our laws. Neither you or the President have that right! Then again, he does work for a Commie Leftist wanna be dictator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On that note, I would like to refer everyone to Alan Caruba’s great sight “Warning Signs” at http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com. He has two marvelous articles, Obama, The Great Prevaricator  and Obama, As Red as It Gets. Alan is wonderful at explaining in easily read terms my exact feelings (and not quite as bellicose I might add, LOL!).I have more than once as you all  know referred to the fact that I feel this President is a hard core Marxist to say the least. Aln hits it on the jead!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, please take a gander at the nonsensibleshoes site at http://nonsensibleshoes.blogspot.com Dean has a great three piece article called “the American Roadmap” Quite thought provoking to say the least.Again, words this country should live by!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-6184532455243933994?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/6184532455243933994/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/03/as-i-write-this-our-so-called-leader.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6184532455243933994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/6184532455243933994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/03/as-i-write-this-our-so-called-leader.html' title='Presdient of  Who?

No One Else Will!</title><content type='html'>Before I get off on my tirades for the week, I want to give my heartfelt prayers and hopes for the people of Japan. As all know, they have had a natural disaster of major proportions and the entire world needs to step up and help they’re recovery. That is what we do best here in the U.S. when all is said and done!&lt;br /&gt;As to the Japan quakes, Tirade #1:  It didn’t take long for the “Climate Change” BSer’s to blame man and his allegedly caused climate change for the quake. The fact that Japan lies on top of one of the most active faults is of little or no consequence to these lying bastards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's always interesting when a disaster like this occurs. Of course, we already have the global warming alarmists claiming the Earth's crust is also affected by the B.S. and as such this was predicted. Al Gore would be proud!   The geological history of our planet is pretty well known. Earthquakes are and always will be part of the equation in the fault areas. All knew Japan is on one of the MAJOR fault lines and it was just a matter of time.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in all seriousness, it's apparent that our schools do not teach anything anymore! When  I was in school way back when we had to take required science classes. I distinctly remember being taught the earth is ALWAYS MOVING beneath our feet. The plates are always interacting. Even back in the late 50's and early 60's plate tectonics was understood and the locations of the major faults were known. we were taught this!  These things have happened since the beginning of Earth’s history and will continue and it has absolutely nothing to do with man!&lt;br /&gt;As I saw on another site (forgive me, I forget which one), a poster more or less said the following. “If the earth wants to rid itself of man, all it has to do is shake it’s body like a wet shaggy dog” As evidenced by the Japan quake and others, this is the true fact behind this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, my next tirade: The hearings taking place on Radical Muslim Terrorism. We had the spectacle of Rep. Keith Ellison and his crocodile tears at the beginning of the hearing which of course the MSM played up as something one should feel is the way one should think.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here goes folks. Moron Alert #1 for the day:&lt;br /&gt;Oh Boo Hoo! I’m so upset this guy is upset! NOT! First he uses the usual racist tactic of false accusations as to Hamdani, someone whom appears to be a true hero and certainly one has not heard anything as to his bastardy accusations of “some people”, then comes up with his crocodile tears! Get this straight you Moron! Radical Muslims killed our citizens. Radical Muslims continue to target western countries! Radical Muslims incite and foment violence against all infidels including Jews and Americans. Radical Muslims have openly stated their intent to infiltrate countries and indoctrinate our children and anyone they can. The sooner you Congressman Ellison get your heads out of your asses and stop apologizing for the scum of society that is the Radical Muslim (and this also goes for other radical groups) element, the better off we’ll all be. Until then I suggest you remember you are an American Representative in Congress. You sure as hell are not supposed to stand up for scum that wants to eradicate entire civilizations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a shock. Individuals can be terrorists or worse! Many are the nut jobs (how about the Arizona shooter? Oops! Can't ask that one. He was a left wing loonie) One fact is clear. Radical Islam declared war on Western civilization! Radical Islam by their own admission will do whatever is necessary to achieve their ends. This includes murder and infiltration of any populace for the sole purpose of indoctrinating them to act against us and our way of life. It's high time our Muslim leaning President, his lackeys and the gutless morons in Congress get their heads out of their asses  and admitted the obvious. There is a radical Muslim element in this country and their pathetic defense of them is helping to lead the world off a dangerous precipice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As to our so called President, let me quote the great Charles Krauthammer:&lt;br /&gt; “Was the guy in Germany a terrorist? All the evidence says yes. This is a guy who shouted by the word of many witnesses repeatedly, “Allah hu Akbar,” which is the jihadist cry, as he shot the Americans and as he was being taken away. Now, and he was recently radicalized, he’s a Muslim, either born or emigrated out of Kosovo, and now he has confessed. Clearly this was a jihadist attack.  And the fact that when the president came out and spoke yesterday about this, he talked about it as if it was a bus accident, it was a tragedy. It is incomprehensible why he can not even say out loud that this could have been a jihadist attack, a part of the war on terror. This was an attack on the American military abroad, an attack on our country, an act of war by a terrorist enemy. And if a president can’t speak about that, what does it say to moderate Muslims around the world who are against the jihadist, and here a president of the United States who won’t speak the truth about it? It’s demoralizing.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One should not be surprised however by the stance of this clown in the White House. After all, only someone who is either 1: naive, 2: a blithering idiot, 3: a Muslim sympathizer, or 4: A person who in fact is a bald faced liar who will say or do anything to achieve his endgame (which in my belief is Pro-Muslim and Socialist) would be insane enough to get up before a roomful of Jews (you know, those of us in the world who have been prosecuted for 1000′s of years by folks of Muslim descent and yes, I meant it exactly like that!) and tell them not to worry about the Muslim Brotherhood or the changes in the Mideast! This isn’t a major disconnect from reality. This is Johnny Depp Mad-Hatter stuff!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tirade #3:  I have many times in the past commented on the fact that if one disagrees with the policies of our current President, we will be branded as racist, haters or whatever as that is the only defense these clowns have for their ineptness. As such, one should not be the least bit surprised a t the statement of our Racist in Chief in a book published a few weeks ago. The below from the Flopping Aces website, but published all over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Obama, in his most candid moments, acknowledged that race was still a problem. In May 2010, he told guests at a private White House dinner that race was probably a key component in the rising opposition to his presidency from conservatives, especially right-wing activists in the anti-incumbent “Tea Party” movement that was then surging across the country. Many middle-class and working-class whites felt aggrieved and resentful that the federal government was helping other groups, including bankers, automakers, irresponsible people who had defaulted on their mortgages, and the poor, but wasn’t helping them nearly enough, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A guest suggested that when Tea Party activists said they wanted to “take back” their country, their real motivation was to stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president, and Obama didn’t dispute the idea. He agreed that there was a “subterranean agenda” in the anti-Obama movement—a racially biased one—that was unfortunate. But he sadly conceded that there was little he could do about it.”&lt;br /&gt;Then we have our boy AG Holder, someone who proudly wears his racism on his sleeve.&lt;br /&gt;Holder said, ”Think about that.  When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia–which was inappropriate, certainly that . . . to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man, espouses the most Anti-White attitude I have ever seen in a national public office. This is condoned by the President himself! It has to be and furthermore the MSM agrees! They must, They sure as hell haven’t condemned it! We had Louis Farrakhan come out with another one of his White hatred speeches and not one word form the administration against it. No shock there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moron alert! I say once again! you are who you associate with! As the electorate didn’t bother to do their homework and with heads buried up their asses chose a Muslim Leading Hard core Marxist to run our country, we are now seeing the results. Scum like Screwy Louie and all the other rats are now coming out of hiding! Not sure if anyone has noticed yet, but not one word of Dissent from Mullah Obama. Or is that comrade Obama? Oh hell, what’s the difference? He and his ilk are a blight on everything our country stands for and every action he takes seems to side with the likes of Screwy Louie and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tirade #4: I just want to make one quick comment as to the Wisconsin situation.  One should hope the Republicans have learned a lesson from this. The MSM and the leftist bastards in D.C. and around the country, including the scum Rhinos will do whatever it takes to defeat the will of the people. It has already been shown more than once that they will use any method legal to get their way as to passing asinine legislation. And if course, we can’t get past the hypocrisy that will be shown by them when they are beaten at their own game. Now that the Republicans have shown some spine, they must keep it up. They are going to have to fight tooth and nail and do their best to get the message out. They referred to the Democrat’s action as a scorched earth policy. Well, what’s good for the goose is good for the Gander! We must stay on the attack! Having said that, one has to marvel at the 14 idiots who just returned to Madison and a so called hero’s welcome.  Moron Alert! Why would one be surprised a their reception by the Union Assholes (and yes, I meant that!) After all, what exactly did the 14 Democratic Senators do, Why hell, they actually upheld what has become one of the great union traditions. They ran away from their work, laid around for 4 weeks then came back and started crying about their paychecks being affected for not doing their job. And of course, the union crowd cheers this! As it has been shown time and again so many government employees do little or nothing, one should not be surprised a bunch of brain dead idiots would in fact back what the scumbag senators did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been noted elsewhere that the MSM has basically refused to cover the hate, death threats and lies coming from the demonstrators and union scum in Wisconsin. Yet, let me say the policies being implemented by the guy in the White House are bad and I will instantly be charged as a hater. The demonstrations in Wisconsin have definitely proven one thing! The Left is in fact the scum of the earth! They preach to us how we should behave, etc. then turn around and do the very things they sat we should not do! Why? Because they feel the rules do not apply to them!  Scum, nothing but scum!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tirade #6: Back to President whatever his name is (and I do mean the disrespect for the man, not the office).  The lackeys for Obama have been out there in force telling us not to worry. The economy is well situated to absorb the rise in oil and food prices. As such, one should not be the least bit shocked when the President openly lied about the oil situation!   In his speech, he basically fed us another line of bull! He claimed we only control 2% of the world’s oil when in fact it is closer to 17%. He somehow claimed the offshore rigs have pumped more oil than ever, the loss of forty or fifty rigs not withstanding! He said he is all for domestic production yet even President Clinton says the slowness  of the issuance for off shore drilling permits is a farce! He says he would consider tapping the Strategic Oil Reserves, something that will not help the price situation one bit and he knows that! And he still fed us the bullshit line of “we have to develop new green technology”  One thing for sure, they WILL NOT allow the development of our own resources as that would be against everything these Socialist bastards stand for! His steadfast refusal to address the situation is in line with every action he has taken and as usual it has only pulled another underpinning out from under the economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tirade # 7: Last one kids! It has been reported how we have been misled as to how the Socialist Healthcare bill misappropriated funds. In a hearing. Kathleen Sebelius was caught in a lie and basically admitted double counting (for want of a better term) My slant?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s not fraud. That was a mis-calculation. Or maybe it was missed in reading the bill. Or maybe it was explained to me wrong. Or maybe I wasn’t there when it was going to be implemented. Or maybe “I’m just doing what the clown in charge told me to do”. Or maybe and most likely it was another blatant attempt at stealing another 500 billion form the people! Oops! couldn’t be that. After all, these bastards don’t consider it anything other than their own money. Watching the video, one can only say 2 words (excuse my French today but I’m rather ticked) Bull Shit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally while on the subject of our government finances and the charade in D.C as to the budget. The morons there are arguing over “cutting”. The Dems of course are saying we face the end of the world if we cut. The Reps, or at least some say we have to cut. The Rhinos as always just have their heads plugged up their asses and want business as usual. While all this is going on we have another Moron Alert! The GAO identified over 200 billion dollars in waste just on redundant programs. Yet through all the B.S. coming form the Clown in Chief and the legislature, we haven't heard anyone use some common sense and say start here! What, the Rhinos and Dems who depend on keeping around workers who produce nothing are so scared of losing their greased palms that they're willing to spend the country into oblivion? Hypocritical bastards! Now, just today, one of these morons are saying we will need a QE3 to keep things going. Print more worthless money and up the debt more! When does it stop? Probably no time soon as you now have the hard core leftists openly questioning one's right to their own money with no outcry from either the Rhinos or the moron in the White House. Get ready to bend over kids because this administration is going to drive the dry tapered corn cob all the way up and get out the rubber mallet to do it? We're bankrupt and no one in D.C gives a rat's ass about it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much more I want to go off on! I haven’t written much lately as every time I get started, I find myself unable to control what I really feel about all of the Bull! As anyone knows who reads my stuff, I don’t hold back and can get quite vicious for want of a better description. This country is going to Hell in a basket. Our politicians and leaders such as those of the public employee unions have the morals of alley cats and that’s actually being civil for me. The President and the MSM all appear to condone what is in every way an assault on this country, her people and our way of life! When are we going to stop this madness? There are now more bankruptcy worries in Europe yet we continue to follow their destructive course, the leftists as always vilifying anyone who points out the fallacy that is failed Socialism and dictatorship! Something is really wrong here folks and it doesn’t take an Einstein to figure it out, just some guts and moral turpitude, something sadly lacking in our leaders at this time!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-4356833709311728306?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/4356833709311728306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/03/heaven-help-us-no-one-else-will.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4356833709311728306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/4356833709311728306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/03/heaven-help-us-no-one-else-will.html' title='Heaven Help Us!

I’m going to be quite crass today. I am mad as hell and every action by these Anti-American leftist scumbags is just ticking me off more. My apologies in advance!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;To begin today. As most folks know, I follow and really enjoy Pam Geller’s “ATLAS SHRUGS” BLOG. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The other day she wrote about her demonization as put forward by the SOIA and apparently stated as fact in an article in the N.Y.Daily News.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She mentions an email that was sent by one of her fans to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Corky Siemaszko and in turn his response to her fan as indicated below:&lt;em&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mister Siemaszko,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The only hate groups I know are all ... leftist groups (and muslim outfits).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;They are masters in turning things upside down with wicked propaganda campaigns.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stop demonising Geller, she is the most courageous woman on the face of the earth.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Milan&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To which the quisling responded and revealed himself:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;From: Corky Siemaszko&lt;br /&gt;Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2011 15:09:17 -0500&lt;br /&gt;To: "milan"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ms. Geller is demonizing herself. CS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;After reading this, I responded as follows:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;"Stop demonizing Geller, she is the most courageous woman on the face of the earth."&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;No truer words have been spoken than those above. As I have said in my blog, Pamela is beyond fabulous! I admire her not only for her courage but also for her indomitable will to fight the good fight. What a shame our political leaders as well as the apologists for the Radical Muslim hate groups are so blind that in their ideology that they are so intent on destroying her. Way back when as most know, Jack Kennedy wrote a book called "Profiles In Courage". Well, I for one sure think that title fits Pamela Geller to a Tee. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;True to herself, true to her people, and by that I don't mean just the Jews. A picture of principle and one that I am proud to use as an example of what I would want my grandchildren (knock on wood, my kids turned out ok) to emulate!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I have one question here. Why is it the MSM as a whole but for that matter even the conservative outlets refuse to come to Pamela’s defense (Fox aside)? Not only do they ignore the false accusations, but they refuse to stand up not only for Freedom of Speech, but the very premise that this Anti-Semite leaning President and his administration are in fact aiding and abbeting the Radical Muslim Fundamentalists in their quest to destroy Western civilization! I just don’t get it, but Pam sure does and I admire her for that!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the meantime as she first reported yesterday, a crowd of 4000 Muslim radicals attacked a Coptic Christian church in Egypt, again something that from what I can see has been ignored by the MSM!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;And so it begins! &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;We are watching as the world is on the precipice of another holocaust! A radical element that openly admits they want to eradicate Jews and any other person who refuses to be compliant to Radical Islamic Bullshit! However, don't expect to hear anything from the Muslim oriented administration or it's Goebells like propaganda industry. It didn't take a fool to realize this is what would happen if one just studied a little and learned from the past. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;It will take Obama at least 2 weeks to even notice it's happening!&lt;/span&gt; Once he does, he’ll say it’s anything but what it really is, the intent of the radical Muslims to eliminate any religion or civilization counter to their twisted view of what the world should be. And this bastard we call our President will as always apologize for the misunderstanding shown by America and her allies towards the” poor misunderstood scumbags’ fomenting these actions , that is if he can get his head out of his ass, away from the parties and golf courses and actually do his job! &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Like I said, that in itself will take a few weeks. This story first came to light early yesterday yet I haven’t seen anything on the MSM and absolutely nothing &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;from&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;our American ideal hating President&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;or his so called Secretary of State, you know, the one that admires Al Jezeera.&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;In the past, I’ve flat out called the President and the scum in his administration liars! Now we have this!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;From the blogprof:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Obama and his Democratic minions stole $500 billion from the &lt;span class="ilad"&gt;&lt;span id="IL_AD2"&gt;Medicare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ilad"&gt;&lt;span id="IL_AD7"&gt;trust fund&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to fund ObamaCare, but double-counted it to try and make ObamaCare seem on paper as a deficit-reducer where the reality was that it is anything but. In addition to the double counting of Medicare "saving," they are also set to deliver only 6 years of service for 10 years of taxes, plus the doctor fix, etc.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;From The Daily Caller:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;In her first appearance before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee since the health-care law passed, Kathleen Sebelius responded to a line of questioning by Republican Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois about whether $500 billion in Medicare cuts were used to sustain the &lt;span class="ilad"&gt;&lt;span id="IL_AD6"&gt;program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or pay for the law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“There is an issue here on the &lt;span class="ilad"&gt;&lt;span id="IL_AD10"&gt;budget&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; because your own &lt;span class="ilad"&gt;&lt;span id="IL_AD9"&gt;actuary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; has said you can’t double-count,” said Shimkus. “You can’t count — they’re attacking Medicare on the CR when their bill, your law, cut $500 billion from Medicare.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He continued: “Then you’re also using the same $500 billion to what? Say your funding health care. Your own actuary says you can’t do both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[…] What’s the $500 billion in cuts for? Preserving Medicare or funding the health-care law?&lt;br /&gt;Sebelius’ reply? &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;“BOTH”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;And have we seen anything from the MSM on this? NO! Why? Because it would cast Comrade Obama in a bad light! Hypocritical bastards!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Now, let’s check in on our Mexican friends. The President of Mexico was here last week and along with our “we have to get these illegals legalized so I get more votes” scumbag of a President gave another one of his lectures to the American people:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Mexican President Calderon:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;“We need to change the general perception inside the public opinion in America and the public opinion in Mexico” because ”bad feelings are growing on both sides of the border.  The anti-American feeling in Mexico is growing again”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;So of course, I have to ask this. Who gives a rat’s ass what the people of Mexico think? They are with the aid of our government illegally entering our country! ILLEGALLY! Yet we’re supposed to care if they are having Anti-American feelings because we don’t want their sorry asses here illegally. We’re supposed to give a damn that they feel they have the right to take what they want from us illegally. Good Grief!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;As if that’s not bad enough we now have a report that the ATF was instructed to allow guns to be sent to Mexico and in turn one of our agents was murdered by one of those guns! At least in this case, CBS actually reported on it. What a shock!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In an effort to catch Mexican drug lords, the federal agency responsible for regulating the gun industry and cracking down on gun crime &lt;strong&gt;allowed thousands of weapons to pass into Mexico and fall into the hands of criminals&lt;/strong&gt;, according to a report by CBS News and other outlets this week.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A senior agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives—better known as the ATF—told CBS and the Center for Public Integrity that &lt;strong&gt;ATF supervisors instructed agents to not intercept weapons made in suspicious sales, but to monitor them to see where the weapons ended up.&lt;/strong&gt; CBS reported that a number of unnamed agents have made similar allegations.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This from the same Bozo who announced the main fault had to be placed on the United States for our willingness to sell as many guns as possible to Mexico drug lords! My god, what is it with these idiots?!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Finally, I would really be remiss if I didn’t comment on the racist asshole we have masquerading as Attorney General! Last week he basically admitted he makes his decisions based on race! &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;From Holder:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“Think about that, when you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that…to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;MORON ALERT! You’re supposed to represent all the people you idiot, not just the blacks! What, didn’t you or your puppet master in the White House get the message?! I can’t even remotely keep from showing the sheer disgust I have for the rancid leaders we have in D.C. And where is the outrage from the MSM and other elected leaders on the whole as to these racist policies? &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I for one have had it up to here with this racist administration and the chickenhearted bastards who refuse to call them out on this despicable stance! From Holder to his association over the years with radical hating racists, the President always manages in the end to show his true colors. Slam his Leftist policies, you’re a racist! Disagree with his complete incompetency in foreign policy, you’re a racist. Point out the open faced lies about cutting the deficit in his budget, you’re a racist! In other words, try to have a civil discourse with any radical leftist in this country today using facts and figures, you are a racist!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the case of the New Black Panther party as well as numerous decisions since, this administration has chosen to make everything about race! And make no mistake about it, this is aimed at those of us who disagree with anything these leftist bastards want to force on us!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;You are supposed to be President of the United States and Holder, you are supposed to be the Attorney General! &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;You are supposed to be unbiased and defend our laws! You sure as hell are not supposed to show the despicable racial bias and hate you both choose to use in defending your assinine policies! Can you even remotely understand this view Mr. President, or is your head stuck so far up your elitist ass that you as most politicians are too far above us mortals to bother worrying about it? From my little part of the world, it sure appears that way! One thing for sure! In my view you and your administration have done more to set back racial relations in this country than any other administration in my lifetime!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-2397048812987524049?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/2397048812987524049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/03/news-week-from-hell-how-do-these-clowns.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/2397048812987524049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/2397048812987524049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/03/news-week-from-hell-how-do-these-clowns.html' title='A News Week From Hell!

We see hate and a complete lack of respect for our fellow man. Yet, just when things seem to have gone completely into the gutter, there comes an act that restores one’s faith in mankind as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What occurred as described below is the perfect example of man believing deeply in one’s faith and in turn practicing the principles that places us at the top of the food chain! Coach Chris Hogan, his players, the faculty and cheerleaders and the parents and fans of Faith Academy are all true heroes. They not only showed some troubled youths what faith can accomplish but they were also true to themselves! I am honored to hopefully help spread the word on this courageous deed. In this day and age of open hostility towards the mainstream religions and people, it is heartwarming to see there are still good people that are fighting the good fight!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Political Pistachio is the Blog Home of the Writer and Blog Talk Radio Host, Douglas V. Gibbs. I have re-posted the following from his site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Faith Gives Hope, at a Football Game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The high school football game was between Grapevine Faith Academy and the Gainesville State School. Faith is a Christian school and Gainesville State School is located within a maximum security correction facility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gainesville State School's 14 players play every game on the road, and going into the game against Faith Christian, their record was 0-8. Up to that point, Gainesville had only scored twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gainesville players are teenagers convicted of crimes ranging from drugs to assault to robbery. Their equipment is old and outdated, and they play simply for the opportunity to gain a little freedom on a Friday Night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faith Academy was heavily favored, with a record of 7-2. They had 70 players, 11 coaches, and the latest equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris Hogan, the head coach at Faith Academy, knew the Gainesville team would have no fans and it would be no contest, so he thought, "What if half of our fans and half of our cheerleaders, for one night only, cheered for the other team?" He sent out an email to the faithful asking them to do just that. "Here's the message I want you to send," Hogan wrote. "You're just as valuable as any other person on the planet."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some folks were confused and thought he was nuts. One player said, "Coach, why are we doing this?" Hogan said, "Imagine you don't have a home life, no one to love you, no one pulling for you. Imagine that everyone pretty much had given up on you. Now, imagine what it would feel like and mean to you for hundreds of people to suddenly believe in you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea took root. On the night of the game, imagine the surprise of those 14 players when they took the field and there was a banner the cheerleaders had made for them to crash through. The visitors' stands were full. The cheerleaders were leading cheers for them. The fans were calling them by their names. Isaiah, the quarterback-middle linebacker said, "I never in my life thought I would hear parents cheering to tackle and hit their kid. Most of the time, when we come out, people are afraid of us. You can see it in their eyes, but these people are yelling for us. They knew our names."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faith won the game, and after the game the teams gathered at the 50-yard line to pray. That's when Isaiah, the teenage convict-quarterback surprised everybody and asked if he could pray . he prayed, "Lord, I don't know what just happened so I don't know how or who to say thank you to, but I never knew there were so many people in the world who cared about us." On the way back to the bus, under guard, each one of the players was handed a burger, fries, a coke, candy, a Bible, and an encouraging letter from the players from Faith Academy .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What an incredible act of Christian witness and kindness and goodness that was. Proverbs 11:17 says, "Your own soul is nourished when you are kind." Proverbs 3:27 says, "Do not withhold good when it is in your power to act."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-3647406201319955561?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/3647406201319955561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-was-going-to-go-off-on-one-of-my.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3647406201319955561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3647406201319955561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-was-going-to-go-off-on-one-of-my.html' title='An Act Of Faith And Heroship'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-3937151642326139112</id><published>2011-02-17T11:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-17T11:57:55.581-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hatred: Israeli and Racial</title><content type='html'>Let’s start today with our Anti-Israeli leader, although I would think calling this clown a leader is about the same as calling  the Sahara a ski resort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The U.S. informed Arab governments Friday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have said in the past I feel this clown is the most Anti-Israel leaning President in my lifetime. One only had to read his book as it was there in his own words! (Quote from Obama’s book: Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’).   My question is and has been, being of Jewish descent myself, I can't help but wonder how the Jewish population here in the U.S. keeps voting for Anti-Semitic  liars, yet every polling day, they somehow blindly rush to do so. in turn, we now have an administration that appears more than happy to watch Israel be eradicated.   "As Ye sow, so shall Ye reap".  We are now witnessing the harvest of a seed that was planted centuries ago, nurtured over years and years, blooming every now and then (Nazi Germany for example) and now is in fact at full bloom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure what the answer is, but it sure as hell isn't the Anti-Semite in the White House anymore that it is the self hating Jews who helped elect him. Israel and in turn Western Civilization as we know it is in grave danger. The Muslims are candid about this while we here in Obama land are being told to accept it by our sad sack leaders!  Yet, this could have been stopped if the electorate had just taken their responsibilities as voters seriously! When the President and his minions speak of Israel and the Mid-East, I sense pure open hatred for Israel. Ipoint out that's how I feel. I only know when I watch this clown speak and look at his eyes, I see hate. And that is a bad thing to see in anyone's leader. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One should not be surprised at the actions of a person who has actually been open about his ideology in the past. That is they shouldn't be if they weren't so open to accepting the lies and deceit that come from almost every politician. Almost every action this President has taken seems predicated on one thing, acceptance of the radical Muslim agenda as part of our society. As that, if it came to fruition would mean the end of Israel and our own way of life, one must conclude Israel is in grave danger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rant number 2: Where is the outrage form the leftist liberal press and black leadership?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dallas Commissioner John Wiley Price:&lt;br /&gt;As Price stood to leave, he looked at Turner and the five other citizens who addressed the court. Price said to them, “All of you are white.  Go to hell!”&lt;br /&gt;Price repeated “go to hell” three more times. An unknown member of the audience said, “You should be ashamed!”&lt;br /&gt;“I’m not ashamed!” Price answered. “I’m not ashamed! Go to hell!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, the progressive website Alternet published an article that was critical of Herman Cain’s choice of entrance music for his speech at CPAC.  Leftist author “Chauncey DeVega,” a writer whose one theme is race, wrote: (Thanks to the blogprof.com site)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Instead, Herman Cain’s shtick is a version of race minstrelsy where he performs “authentic negritude” as wish fulfillment for White Conservative fantasies. Like the fountain at Lourdes, Cain in his designated role as black Conservative mascot, absolves the White racial reactionaries at CPAC of their sins. This is a refined performance that Black Conservatives have perfected over many decades and centuries of practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you know, I find black garbage pail kids black conservatives fascinating not because of what they believe, but rather because of how they entertain and perform for their White Conservative masters.&lt;br /&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;We always need a monkey in the window, for he/she reminds us of our humanity while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of our own superiority. Sadly, there are always folks who are willing to play that role because it pays so well.&lt;br /&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;Herman Cain–an ironic name if ever, and one more suited to a tragic figure in a Harlem Renaissance era novella–is not “blackening twice” as some race minstrels chose to do.&lt;br /&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herman Cain’s shtick is a version of race minstrelsy where he performs “authentic negritude” as wish fulfillment for White Conservative fantasies."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally we have witnessed video and written words to the effect of “sending him back to the plantation, cut off his toes, hang him and his wife, etc.”  in regards to the Honorable Justice Clarence Thomas. Have we seen one word uttered against this racist hatred from the co-opted media? NO! Where is Jesse, or Al or the NAACP? These so called black leaders think we are supposed to take them seriously! And yet they are in the forefront of fomenting the racial hatred that is permeating our society and politics. I am fed up with it! What is it Jesse? Hey Al! Why is it every time a black person says anything counter to your race baiting that you allow the hatred to be ignored. You hypocritical bums!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The liberal media is right there with them. They have the utter gall to lecture the public on civility and decorum while choosing to ignore the extremely vile vitriol that they themselves not only write about but actually glorify. Remember, a co-opted media can poison the reason of the people. But also there is this! Once the dictator or in this case a wanna be dictator gets in charge, the co-opted media is also expendable!  The entire fiasco MAKES ME SICK. How sad there are not any real journalists left to fight this!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-3937151642326139112?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/3937151642326139112/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/02/hatred-israeli-and-racial.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3937151642326139112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/3937151642326139112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/02/hatred-israeli-and-racial.html' title='Hatred: Israeli and Racial'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-708548075804919443</id><published>2011-02-12T07:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-12T07:45:57.520-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What Now Egypt?</title><content type='html'>What has taken place in Egypt over the last two weeks is stunning in scope. Yes,  a dictator was over thrown and yes the people hopefully got what they wanted, a chance at self determination.  The next question thought is what does this portend for the future?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can all agree that Mubarak was a tyrant in the eyes of his people and deservedly so. And people here in the West cannot begin to imagine the hardships and travails of life in a country like Egypt or for that matter any Third World country, be it Egypt, Sudan or whatever.  Too many of the citizens of the U.S., even   if they were to look at it, are too busy whining about their own supposed problems to even consider what’s going on around the world. So be it. That’s what class warfare and the entitlement society have done to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as we  look deeper into the Egyptian situation, we can see a rather disturbing pattern emerging. Listen to the talking heads of the MSM. Listen to the President and his out of touch administration, Hell, they can’t even get their stories straight. Hillary says one thing. Clapper says another. And the President openly welcomes the very element that can and will destroy Egypt and in turn put Israel and the West in dire straits. Of course I and many others will be called alarmists, racists or Anti-Muslim bigots for pointing this out, but it has to be said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One only has to remember the Iran situation. Yes, the Shah as far as the people of Iran were concerned was a despot. As the people rallied there, the talking heads including our good buddy “lost in space Carter” went on and on about how the Ayatollah was in fact a moderate Muslim who would bring peace and open Democracy to the country. I distinctly remember the few brave souls who had done their homework and warned of the impending disaster that was coming. As it is now, they were branded as subversive or worse. The world sat back and we all know what has transpired since then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the Iran situation came to a head, the morons in the press and government here in the States put out the fallacy that the people of Iran, having grown use to the Freedoms they did have and their supposed love for all thing U.S. would in fact turn their back on radical Islamic fundamentalism and continue to embrace and expand the Western ideals to which they had grown accustomed to. Well, we all know how that worked out! Typical head in the sand gobbley  goop from the West and presto!, an Islamic hell was born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While one can hope the army there can keep the order and help transition to a free government, the chances of that happening in my view are slim at best. First, let’s take a look at the army. They have always been the power in Egypt since the overthrow of King Furuk. No secret there. Will they give up power?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As there is a vacuum in leadership right now can we assume the radical movements, those that any idiot can see are the best organized will in fact take their shots at power?  You can bet your ass they will. The head of the Muslim Brotherhood is a known terrorist with a deep seated hatred for Israel. As we move forward, one has to assume they along with infiltrators from other radical Muslim states will do their best to install a Radical regime in Egypt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took about 30 days from the overthrow of the Shah, to the Ayatollah’s homecoming and then an almost instant plunge in radical Muslim horror that is now Iran. Is this what one wants for Egypt. And what about Israel?  As we have a President who seems hell bent on hastening her destruction, will we come to the aid of Israel when the crap really hits the fan?  If Egypt is taken over in the end by the radicals, will Israel survive?  Hell, let’s not even go into the oil situation right now or the fact the Egypt controls the Suez Canal. At least Mubarak was honor bound to a treaty and kept too it. Can one even think for one moment that any radical function will not immediately turn on Israel? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those out there who think I’m off base here as to what could happen, I now issue one of my Moron Alerts! What happened in Egypt happened in Iran!  Heck, Mubarak even left on the same date the Shah did! For the few of us who seem to learn from history, this is almost like dejavu.  The real problem is that unlike thirty years ago, there is now an organized radical Muslim front that will do anything to destroy Western Civilization as we know it! Yet our President, just like that idiot Carter before him, is to blinded by his own power mad ideology to see it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are and have been dangerous times. One must pray that the people of Egypt do the right thing. Israel’s safety as well as the balance of power worldwide depends on the march of Radical Islam being stopped now!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8830402031542444308-708548075804919443?l=joetote1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/feeds/708548075804919443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/02/what-now-egypt.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/708548075804919443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8830402031542444308/posts/default/708548075804919443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joetote1.blogspot.com/2011/02/what-now-egypt.html' title='What Now Egypt?'/><author><name>joetote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830402031542444308.post-1396914840949464434</id><published>2011-02-07T09:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-07T10:50:10.620-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama World - Heaven Help Us!</title><content type='html'>I see the President’s ratings are going back into the dumpster after the “bump” he received after his B.S. session of last Tuesday. Gee whiz! He’s even diving after the MSM did their absolute best to equate this Dodo with Ronald Reagan. Wonder why? Oops, easy to figure that one out. The American people aren’t as stupid as Liberals think we are. None of the Doublepseak or Newspeak (1984 for those of you who refuse to learn how to read anything beyond the opiate for the masses being put out by the co-opted media) can stop the real truth from coming to the fore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been reported that there are Wikileaks cables suggesting Obama agreed to give the Russians nuclear secrets as to Britain’s missiles as per the Daily Telegraph. Strange, isn’t it that we don’t see hardly anything mentioned about this by the co-opted MSM?  Basically, it appears Comrade Obama used this as a bargaining chip to get the Russians to agree to the terms. The really bad part of this is that apparently the scum in the Senate either didn’t bother to read this treaty (thus the push to get it through the lame duck session) or they in effect stuck their heads up their asses doing the bidding of their corrupt leaders. Please note here. I for one do not exactly like the fact that this is from Wikileaks stolen cables, yet the cables are now out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is proven to be true, the U.S. is done as a perceived world leader! If this President has in fact done what is charged in the leaked cables, he must be impeached immediately!  Were the people in the Senate notified as required of this action? If so, why did the Senate vote to allow this to happen? Or is it possible this is another "we didn't read the entire thing" moment? If in fact the leaders of the Senate did in fact have knowledge of this action then they do should be brought up on charges!&lt;br /&gt;Again, this is alleged but something I feel is in line with the actions of this Marxist we now have in the White House. Very scary!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While on this subject, I see that one of the really leftist morons, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is requesting an audience with the traitor Bradley Manning as there are allegations of  “cruelty” as to his treatment, among other things that the poor little boy is being held in solitary confinement. Correct me if I’m wrong. This piece of scum openly admitted and in effect bragged about the fact that he stole and leaked the cables to Wikileaks or whoever. This so called soldier openly bragged about breaking his oath to protect and defend our country! And yet we have people out there who are worried about this traitor’s well being?! Let him rot in hell! The man committed treason! But then why should anyone be surprised at the crying from the Anti-American left! Someone sells out our country and they want to make him a hero! At least they are in lock step with the loony lefty in the White House!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are being told the unemployment rate dropped to 9% or in effect got better by .08% in the last 2 months. Now seeing that we needed over 3,000,000 jobs created to lower the unemployment rate by one point yet only 36,000 jobs were created last month and for arguments sake we’re averaging less than 100,000 jobs created a month yet there are roughly 4 to 5 hundred thousand new unemployment claims every month, can someone please tell me how anyone should be expected to swallow the bullshit figures being put out by this administration and being perpetuated by the co-opted media propaganda machine?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, I always like to include when possible any quote from the great Charles Krauthammer: ‘If Godzilla Appeared on the National Mall Al Gore Would Say It’s Global Warming’  Of course, I’m sure Al Gore and his like are in a tizzy about this one. LOL! And of course, we all know Godzilla came about because of reckless nuclear testing, not global warning! Seriously, a great and funny line that I really enjoyed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is something that came from across the pond. In this time wh
