I See Said the Blind Man

 

First it was dodgeball, then it was tag, then it was banning red pens to grade students papers. Now liberals have launched a ban on touching. Yes, according to New York’s WCBS, students in the Glen Cove government indoctrination centers will be prohibited from touching when school starts next week. Only in the bluest of blue states could such an asinine proposition be set forth. 

According to New York Health officials the no touch policy is a way to reduce the spread of the swine flu. Why not just postpone the start of school until the media hype fades? Better yet, our emerging police state should consider banning talking, sneezing, coughing and breathing.  Then again they could just immunize the kids but that would entail using common sense.

Speaking of police states, you better watch out of you’re planning a garage sale. The Kansas City Star is reporting that the nanny state Obama Gestapo are out en masse enforcing a new federal law that bans the resale of certain goods at neighborhood garage sales.  Included in the list of items the imperial government has banned are Polly Pocket Dolls, Easy Bake Ovens and hooded draw string sweatshirts.   What next, mandates on the types of food we eat? Oh I almost forget, liberals have already banned transfats.

Vice President Cheney recently suggested that steps being taken by Obama, such as coddling prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and banning the term War on Terror, are making our nation more vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Apparently Team Obama isn’t too happy about being called to the mat, sending National Security Advisor Jim Jones out to challenge Cheney’s statements.   I couldn’t think of a more appropriate person than a guy named Jim Jones out to reassure the economically and socially blind, kool aid drinking public.  All the while Obama and his seditious liberals are celebrating the release of Abdul Ali al-Megrahi, the Libyan terrorist responsible for the Lockerbie plane disaster. 

Meanwhile, our own domestic terrorists, better known as Congressional liberals, are pushing back debate on their global warming bill, claiming that healthcare must take precedent.   Could this possibly be the result of the northern tier of states coming off their coldest summer in centuries which once again exposes the utter lunacy of the greatest hoax in the history of mankind? 

The silver lining amidst the ubiquitous failures of this administration is that Obama’s latest approval rating has slipped to 46% which translates into single digit support from those who actually work for a living.

The Wretched Excesses of Liberalism

 

Leave it to USA Today, the only paper more seditious than the Treason Times, to run an op-ed by co-commie conspirators Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer calling those against socialized healthcare un-American. 

To be an American one must support the concept of economic freedom and individual liberty, the two key principles upon which our nation was founded. In addition, one must support the concepts of rugged individualism and self reliance, the qualities that came to define America and real Americans. Lastly, one must have an unbridled passion for the Bill of Rights, the ultimate key to our freedom. So just how do Pelosi, Hoyer and the rest of the Benedict Arnold Brigade stack up?

Well, they don’t want dissent. They have been using union thugs to squelch free speech at townhall meetings from coast to coast.   They are using their power and control to pass a so called Fairness Doctrine which is about as fair as the reporting on CNN.  Their agenda on free speech is so un-American that their idols Stalin, Lenin and Marx are beaming down from the heavens above. 

They are afraid of the people, which is a real problem in their minds.   Thomas Jefferson once said “when governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”   The government is tired of living in fear of us as evidenced by their mandate that we be quiet and take their medicine (no pun intended). Pelosi, Hoyer and the rest of the seditious left want us to live in fear of them.  
 
There is a very good reason that the liberals in America want to ban guns and it isn’t to reduce crime. We have thousands of gun laws on the books, yet liberals want to pass more laws intended to only allow murderers, rapists and illegal aliens to carry guns.   The reason; they don’t fear criminals, they coddle them. However, they fear you, me and every other hard working, God fearing, true American patriot. 

By supporting and promoting a ban on guns, they have taken the first step to banning dissent. Remember, the folks in Washington are all about power. They want to mandate what you can wear, what you can drive, what you can eat, the type of grocery bags you use, the type of fuel you buy, the color of your house and on and on and on. If I wanted that, I’d put my wife in a burqa, buy a cave and move in with the Taliban, who by the way aren’t subject to any of Pelosi’s mandates. 

Perhaps the scariest thing is the neo-McCarthyism being put forth by the current administration in their quest to silence free speech. This week they created a website where neighbors can snitch on neighbors who don’t support their anti-American concept of socialized medicine. This ranks right up with the fascism of Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, Pol Pot and Chavez as one of the greatest affronts in the history of free speech and expression. 

Newsflash to Pelosi, Hoyer and friends, the people who love America and the economic freedom and individual liberty that comes from being a true American aren’t un-American; you are. Anyone who is against free speech and the right to defend your life, liberty and property from criminals, be they felons or government employees (or both) is un-American. Any person who promotes communism over capitalism is un-American. Anyone who stands in the way of self reliance and rugged individualism is un-American. The question every true American should be asking is how to we take our country back from the wretched excess of liberalism gone mad?

Obama Names Head of CIA Who Has Zero Espionage Experience

 

Oh Boy, do I feel safe now. As Islamic fascists regroup to hatch a plan on what to blow up next, the Obamamessiah goes and picks Leon Panetta as head of the CIA. Seriously, he should have gone to Wal-Mart and picked a cashier who would likely have more experience in espionage than Panetta who served as Bill Clinton’s chief of staff and whose biggest decision in life was where to hide the blue dress after Bill made a mess of it.

Coming on the heels of two illegal Senators being installed by the corrupt Democrat machine, this could be an even bigger mess for the chosen one, who was supposed to part the skies and walk on water. 

Today marks the beginning of the Congressional session, as Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of their sedition brigade head to Washington to seize more of our money and usurp more of our rights. I guess the big question is whether or not they will be able to get an approval rating of more than single digits. 

The first item on the agenda is this so called stimulus package that will cost the taxpayers somewhere in the range of $1 trillion dollars.   Included in this stimulus package is a lot of pork, including snow making equipment for Minnesota. As if they needed more snow, but then again when the idiot portion of the electorate votes for Al Franken what do you expect.  My guess is there is even a bailout for the Somali pirates, who by way of a long and sordid family tree are probably distant cousins of B. Hussein Obama himself.

Did you hear that B. Hussein is going to take the oath of office and use his entire name. Yes, the name that Americans were banned from uttering is now going to be broadcast on prime time for his coronation as the latest winner of American Idiot.   I wonder how Ann Coulter feels about that. If you recall she was repudiated for emphasizing his middle name. Perhaps now the Obama voters will realize what damage they have inflicted upon our nation. Then again, most of them don’t even know that 9/11 occurred because it wasn’t reported on Inside Edition, their main source for current events.

Speaking of Ann Coulter, she has been banned from NBC. Yes, banned. Along with transfats, charcoal grilles and fireplaces, the liberal elitists now want to ban Coulter because of her new book, Guilty, which decries media bias. OK, so if the media isn’t biased why don’t they have Coulter on to discuss the media lies, distortions and treasonous agenda that they put forth.   It’s kind of like Obama’s continued refusal to make public his purported birth certificate that would put to rest whether or not he is really an American citizen.

All I can say is it is going to be a very interesting few years.   My suggestion; get as much money out of the country as you possibly can. Explore other places to live because the government has written a check that they can’t cash and when it comes time to pay the fiddler all hell is going to break loose in a way not seen in the history of our republic.   For that you can thank your local liberal.

Breaking the Chains of Energy Dependence

 

Only time will tell if the GOP can parlay the current energy crisis into success this November, but as it stands now it is their only chance.   The mainstream media and Congressional Democrats have done a tremendous job in a assassinating the character of President Bush while concurrently tarnishing the Republican brand.   The moveon.org Democrats are effectively leading a deaf, dumb and blind electorate down a path towards nanny state socialism that may come to a screeching halt as even the most economically illiterate Americans understand the pain at the pump.

Nancy Pelosi is refusing to allow a vote on offshore drilling because she knows full well that many in her party will break ranks with her to support what America wants and needs. If this happens before November, the GOP can effectively pin the Democrats with the label as the party of energy dependence. They are the party that would rather send money to terrorist nations than keep it at home. There continued refusal to exploit our domestic oil resources which are four times the known reserves of Saudi Arabia could very well be their death knell this fall. 

It is time that the GOP focuses more on this. Taking over Congress was a start, but how many Americans really know that the Democrats left town for their summer break while sticking the rest of us with high gas prices? The GOP needs to demand that George Bush call Congress into a special session.   The Republicans then need to refuse to fund a continuation of government as their budget expires at the end of September. They need a radical departure from the status quo, as that will translate to victory this fall. What they need are bold ideas that will cause Americans to sit back and recognize the havoc the moveon.org Democrats have wrought on our nation and our economy since their election in 2006. 

The undeniable reality is that our economy was strong during the majority of the Bush years.  After inheriting the Clinton/Gore recession in 2000, Bush immediately implemented tax cuts which improved the economy.   Even after a devastating impact from 9/11, further tax cuts put us on the right track. Housing values skyrocketed, energy was cheap, inflation and unemployment were low. The only common denominator that has changed during the Bush years was the introduction of liberals to Congress. 

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have partnered in an endeavor of sedition to undermine everything that America stands for. They have led the majority of Democrats to vote against making English the official language yet supported giving socialist security to gate crashing illegal aliens. They have demanded that we surrender to Islamic fascists while at the same time denouncing out men and women in uniform. They have denigrated traditional marriage, Christianity and family values while extolling the virtues of their perverted and deviant constituents such as NAMBLA (the National Man Boy Love Association).   They passed the largest tax increase in history and a failed energy policy that has resulted in our economy imploding while causing the price of food and energy to skyrocket.  

As has been the case throughout the history of our nation, liberals are once again the cause of failure. Their defeatist attitude governs their policy and their negativity are the guiding principles of this failure. They stand in the way of success and accountability seeking to keep people down and dumb in exchange for government handouts and votes.   Anyone who is too stupid, blind or uninformed to recognize this is part of the problem and should do us all a favor and stay home on Election Day.   Remember, America was founded on the very principles that liberals loathe economic freedom and individual liberty.   We fought a revolution to escape confiscatory taxation and regulation that was a lot less burdensome than Democrats have given us today.   What’s it going to take to get the idiot portion of the electorate to wake up?
