Nightmare on K Street

 

I suppose it is only apropos that the nightmare on K Street begin on the eve of Halloween.   The Democrats, fulfilling a promise to destroy healthcare and bankrupt our nation, have come up with the most insidious legislation in the history of the Republic. 

Containing over 400,000 words in 1,990 pages, their healthcare bill doesn’t even use the word doctor.   It is page upon page of legal mumbo jumbo that Nancy Pelosi and her ilk have graciously agreed to post on the internet for all to read.   But you better read quick because they are planning a vote for next week! Considering that the Torah contains only 80,000 words and takes a typical synagogue congregation a year to read how do you suppose the Democrats will justify a vote in five days? Simple; they have no intention of reading the bill.  

The CBO is putting the cost of this bill, which by the way doesn’t even provide coverage for every American, at $1.05 TRILLION dollars!   Not a million, not a billion…but a trillion dollars.    To put this in perspective, the U.S. government in 2006 took in $1.04 trillion in TOTAL tax revenue.    Since then, taxes have gone up, so revenue has gone down which is a concept still foreign to liberals. 

This bill contains a tax increase and puts taxes on the path to reaching new highs not seen since the failed days of Jimmy Carter.   This will result in a tax upon every American who works because there is no other way to pay for this insidious piece of legislation that runs counter to everything that American stands for. Simply put, those who vote for this legislation should be brought up on charges of treason, because this type of generational theft is not only un-American but it is criminal. 

If I walked up to you, pointed a gun at your head and stole your wallet I would go to jail.   That is exactly what the government is doing, creating massive penalties for those who don’t play by the rules in this ponzi scheme that makes the crimes of Bernie Madoff seem like misdemeanors.  

Making matters worse, this bill was crafted in a closed door session involving one political party. So much for the bipartisanship promised during teleprompter laden campaign speeches.   What is occurring in Washington will be seen through the prism of history as tantamount to the rise of Marxism in the Soviet Union and Nazism in Germany.   It is a government that has overstepped its bounds and usurped the will of the people for its own political gain and power.

We have a chance to do something and we have one year to get prepared to do it.   Every person who votes for this bill needs to be removed from office.   Every person who does not openly voice dissent also needs to be removed from office.   Every two years we have the power to engage in a revolution at the ballot box and it is high time that we did just that.  

We need to kick those in Congress who have so little regard for the American people and Constitution to the curb and start over.   We need to take back the reins of government from those who seek to undo two hundred plus years of greatness.   It’s time for accountability to find its way inside the beltway and for this who have failed the American people, such as Nancy Pelosi and her ilk, to be called out for their insidious actions.

Obama's White Flag of Surrender

 

In yet another victory for the enemy, Barack Obama has decided to scrap missile defense systems in the Czech Republic and Poland.   You will recall that these shields were initially proposed by the Bush administration as a way to intercept missiles from Iran or another rogue Middle Eastern state.   Given our rocky history with Russia, the locations selected couldn’t have been more ideal, as they would have killed two birds with one stone.  

What’s one to do in this day and age where our commander in chief routinely appeases our enemies, at home and abroad.   Whether it’s the Pelosi democrats in Congress or al-Quada at Club Gitmo, it just doesn’t seem to matter just so long as their seditious pals in the mainstream media vilify anyone who stands up for America, God and families.

At least the U.K. Telegraph is calling out Obama with a headline that reads “Barack Obama surrenders to Russia on Missile Defence”.   Yes, it is indeed a cowardly act by arguably the most unfit person to ever lead our nation.   Can you imagine Ronald Reagan, or even old school Democrats such as Roosevelt or Truman, acting in such a cowardly way?   Seriously, is this Barack Obama or a reincarnation of Neville Chamberlain? 

With each passing day it seems that the only war being waged by liberals is against our own citizens. Heaven forbid we call someone an Islamic fascist but don’t let a day go by without referring to true patriots who attend tea parties as terrorists.   Don’t get me wrong, there are domestic terrorists and most of them are in Washington and all of them are liberals.  

These are the people who are seeking to silence free speech and who use the mainstream media to indoctrinate the young, the dumb and the uninformed, best known as the Obama electorate.   The amazing thing is that these people still support Obama despite his doing everything in his power to undermine the free market and national security. 

Can you imagine the outrage if George Bush had bankrupted our nation, increased troops in an Islamic fascist stronghold or grew government exponentially? Oh, I forget, he did that too.   Yes, the liberals were outraged, calling him every name imaginable. But one Congressman calls Obama a liar and all hell breaks loose.   Once again, we are seeing typical liberal hypocrisy.   Don’t voice your opinion unless you agree with us and if you do, we will use every means possible to silence you.   Sounds a little bit like a third world banana republic. Kenya perhaps? 

So what’s the next PR disaster that the Obama administration will have to cover up?   Perhaps the corruption of ACORN, the group solely responsible for rigging the 2008 elections with voter fraud and intimidation?   Maybe it will be the czars, many of whom have skeletons in the closet that will make Van Jones seem like a toddler.   Perhaps it will be the unions who are diligently using force to silence all dissenting opinions on socialized medicine.   The list goes on and on.   Is it possible that this administration is even more morally bankrupt than the Clintonistas?

12 Step Program for Liberalism

 

Step 1- Liberals must admit that they are powerless over their addiction to big government, entitlements and their hatred of George W. Bush, God, economic freedom, individual liberty and capitalism.

Step 2- Liberals must come to believe that a power greater than government can restore us to sanity.

Step 3- Liberals must make a decision to turn their will and their lives over to the care of God.   They must first accept that there is a God and that our nation lives as one nation under God and that God was the creator of all the hot Fox News babes.   

Step 4- Liberals must make a searching and fearless moral inventory of themselves realizing that a generally miserable disposition is the foundation of their being and that they are not happy unless they spread their misery around to others who have achieved greater success in life.

Step 5- Liberals must admit to God and themselves the exact nature of their wrongs which include censorship of free speech, unionization, gun control, socialist indoctrination in government education, welfare, entitlements, coddling of terrorists, appeasement of illegal alien, compassion for murderers, rapists and pedophiles, disdain for sanctity of marriage and general heterophobia.

Step 6- Liberals must be ready to have God remove all of these defects of character.

Step 7- Liberals must humbly ask God to remove their shortcomings.

Step 8- Liberals must make a list of all persons they have harmed and be willing to make amends to them. This list will be incredibly long, so be prepared to spend lots of time on this one.

Step 9- Liberals must make direct amends to all that they have harmed which would include anyone from whom the government routinely steals money from.

Step 10- Liberals must continually take personal inventory and when they are wrong promptly admit it. This includes support for censoring free speech, the Fairness Doctrine, gun control, illegal aliens, terrorists and criminals in general, gay marriage, pedophilia, NAMBLA, racism, unions, fascism, big government, taxes, propagandist education monopolies, tofu, hybrids, NOW,  Chavez, Castro, Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Carter, infanticide, welfare and entitlements.   

Step 11- Liberals must seek prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of God’s will for them and the power to carry that out while watching Fox News or listening to Neal Boortz.

Step 12- Liberals must have a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, try to carry this message to others afflicted with the incurable disease of liberalism and practice these principles in all their affairs.

No Soup For You...

 

Liberals in Congress are apparently working to pass new taxes to combat obesity. Go figure, the same group that created the entitlement class with food stamps, welfare checks and free satellite TV to watch reruns of Jerry Springer now wants to tax the very constitutents who put them in office.   Are they afraid that the folks from whom they routinely purchase votes will get so fat and lazy that they won’t be able to make it to the voting booth? Maybe they should give them free scooters from the Scooter Store!

According to recent reports, the CDC is working closely with Congressional liberals to push through a three cent tax on soda. Seriously, do they really thing three cents is going to have any impact on obesity in America. My guess is that this move is part of a bigger ploy to further take over greater aspects of our lives. 

Liberals created the insidously un-American concept of political correctness to control what we say. They are pushing laws to ban our right to defend our homes and families from criminals.   The Fairness Doctrine is being pushed as a way to silence dissent on talk radio.   They now own our banks and our auto makers. They soon will tell us what doctor we can see; when, where and how often.   Now they want to tell us what we can eat. Imagine another four years of Obama’s hope and change:

Pizza Guy: Thank you for calling Papa John’s, can I have your phone number?

You: 555-1212

Pizza Guy: What can I get for you tonight?

You: I’ll have two large pizzas, one with the works and the other with pepperoni.

Pizza Guy: Sorry, according to the CDC records you have high cholesterol. How about a salad.

You: No, I really want a pizza. 

Pizza Guy: No can do, the government says you are too fat. I am only authorized to sell you a salad.

You: Fine, I’ll just call Domino’s.

Pizza Guy: You can’t do that. It’s now in the system that you attempted to order fatty foods and if you try again you could be arrested by the food police.

What truly is amazing are the sheeple who can’t see through this charade, where Stalin and Marx have been reincarnated in the form of the Obamamessiah who seemingly walks on water to the dumb and ignorant in our midst. At any other time in history the actions we are seeing in Washington would have resulted in an all out revolt by the people. Then again, what we are witnessing is the result of 200 years of government using education as a tool to indoctrinate the masses. 

Keep in mind the worst is yet to come. I, like many conservatives, predicted that the Obama economic plan would result in an economic disaster. We called global warming the greatest hoax on earth (Chicago just had its coldest July in 66 years).  We predicted the government take over of banks and auto makers would result in inferior quality and eventual bankruptcy (look at AIG and GM).  The list of liberal failures goes on and on as does the culpability of politicians, many of whom should be serving time in prison rather than Washington.

Stimulation Perhaps but Stimulus No Way

Why is it that Democrats worked so diligently to ram the so called stimulus package through Congress? Why is it that President Obama wanted Republican support when the Democrats already had enough votes to pass what can only be described as the biggest welfare check in history? Simple, liberals have a well founded concern that it will fail and they don’t want to shoulder the blame which is precisely what they will have to do when our recession turns to a full blown depression as a result of their gross financial negligence and economic illiteracy.   
This $819 billion dollar stimulus package is like borrowing $10,400 dollars from every family in America. This is money that has to be paid back; if not by us then by our children and their children. This sum is greater than what the average family pays for food, clothing,  and healthcare in an entire year! Think about it, if government spending solved recessions we would never have a recession.
Of the package, passed by Democrats, an estimated 6-12% of the items have any element of stimulus with the remainder being pork barrel waste.  As an American I have to say that I am disgusted that our new president, who promised change and the end to politics as usual, is even entertaining this charade.  Then again, he's proving to be exactly what I told you he'd be; a radical left wing socialist who cares nothing about the people but rather only about power.
Perhaps if investigative journalism were alive and well, which it is not, the public would be aware of the waste unanimously passed by Democrats without one single Republican vote.   $87 billion dollars has been set aside for a Medicaid bailout, basically rewarding irresponsible government bureaucrats for their mismanagement.  There are refundable tax credits for people who don’t pay taxes; in other words welfare.   It includes $21 million dollars for sod and $200 million for repairs to the National Mall , $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts, $650 million for digital TV coupons, $726 million for an after school snack program, $600 million for government cars and $335 million for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.   Until just a few days ago this ridiculous spending spree included Democrat sponsored provisions for birth control for illegal aliens.   Stimulation, perhaps; but stimulus no way. 
FDR’s own Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau stated during the Great Depression, “We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.” 
Instead of mortgaging the future of our children with this waste, why not do something that works like changing to our tax code. Instead of debating whether or not we should provide free abortions for illegal aliens, Congress should be discussing a repeal of the 16th Amendment and the implementation of the Fair Tax.   What will work is making permanent the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 that have been proven to work. We should reduce the marginal tax rates for individuals and businesses by 10%.   Congress should eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax and the Death Tax, which would spur economic growth.   Lastly Congress should take it upon themselves to live within their means and end their reckless spending.   Any combination of these will produce results, jobs and growth that simply are not possible with the biggest welfare check in the history of our Republic.

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.

The Blind and Dumb Masses

 

As a recovering liberal I find myself periodically stopping into the local Liberals Anonymous chapter to ensure that I don’t deviate from the 12 step program.   Last night was no exception, but makes me wonder why it takes 12 steps, as cold turkey should work just fine when you realize the insidious nature of the disease. 

Liberals are a bitter bunch.   The group that supposedly stands for peace gets awfully violent if the subject of Obama losing comes up.   Why is it that this disease causes such vitriol amongst an otherwise loveable group?   What’s even more puzzling is their acceptance of a worldview shared by such people as Marx, Lenin, Mao and Hitler. It has to be deeper than the fact that they were beat up on the playground as wimpy kids. 

In less than one week we will have a complete take over of government by liberal fascists.   The most unpopular congress in history, with a 9% approval rating, will add to their ranks and be led by Her Fascistness Nancy Pelosi who has vowed to abolish free speech.   This congress will have the ability to ban anything and everything with a rubber stamp of approval from the messiah himself.   If you haven’t read the Book of Revelations lately, I suggest you take a moment to do so. 

As if this weren’t bad enough, Barack Obama will be appointing anti-Semitic, pro terrorist judges to the judiciary who will render our Constitution to be nothing more than a roll of Charmin.   They will whittle away our right to bear arms as part of a master plan to keep the dumb masses down while they rape and pillage our private property.  

If you have a 401K or a pension, look for the government to seize it.   Look for higher inflation as taxes increase and double digit unemployment as businesses move offshore to escape this confiscatory regulation.   In a nutshell, a new liberal nation will be born on November 5th.   I don’t know what it will be called but the United States of America will be dead.  

The new flag of our nation of liberals will likely be a hybrid between a hammer and sickle and the stars of Islam.   Founding fathers who created our great nation will be demonized, as liberal saints such as Castro, Chavez and Kim Jong Il are praised, for this is the true vision of liberals where wealth is shared evenly amongst the masses.  

There will remain a powerful class comprised of limousine liberals and their fellow media elite. They will punish success and censor those who dare to speak freely.   If you don’t believe me, ask the news anchor in Orlando who dared to ask Joe Biden if Obama was a socialist. That station is now banned from ever asking another question again.   If it sounds Pravda like, it is because that is the direction of our nation where biased media coverage is designed to protect the elite who will never cede power again short of a rising of the masses to take it back. 

It’s pretty amazing that this is the change that America wants.   If you think this isn’t the change then you, my friend, are sorely mistaken and prove to be a poor pupil of history.   History repeats and if you don’t believe that, I suggest watching some old video of the rise of the Third Reich.   Just as the dumb masses embraced Hitler, they are doing so with Obama.   My suggestion is that you use your vote wisely and don’t even think about voting until you watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pnRN0KBHuc
