Well...I'm Waiting

 

Well, I’m waiting…I still have a mortgage and an empty gas tank.   You promised to take care of me from cradle to grave. I heard the campaign rhetoric and the best you can come up with is a taxman who refuses to pay his taxes. Oh, that’s right, he said he was sorry. Yes, it was a goof. In fact it wasn’t even his fault, it was Turbo Tax! Of course, silly me, go ahead and confirm the guy so we can all use him as precedent if we conveniently forget to pay our taxes. Then again, if we do it, we go to jail becase we are not members of the political elite.

Seriously folks, what’s the messiah done already? Wall Street tanked on Day One. He attended an overpriced orgy of fellow liberal elitists who flew in on their leer jets at our expense.   I heard he called a few foreign leaders….what dinner in Tehran? 

All the while the media gushes with pride and joy that their self serving man was put into office by the folks over at ACORN.   Usually I’d be willing to give the new president a chance, which I did. He promised that his election would bring about a change to politics as usual; yet we have a cabinet filled with Clinton retreads. The media promised an end to the racial divide; yet we had to listen to the race baiting drivel of Reverend Lowery. No more corruption in Washington; yet we sit through confirmation hearings on the queen of corruption herself.   Honesty and integrity inside the beltway; is that how Timothy Geithner spells his name? 

The liberal template has been laid out before us, so I guess wanting Obama to fail is where I stand. Certainly if he were proposing the Fair Tax, English only mandates, an end to illegal immigration, defeat of Islamic fascism and school choice I would want him to succeed, but that’s not where he stands. He stands for socialism and an undermining of our rights of economic freedom and individual liberty, so why on earth would anyone who loves America want to see that agenda succeed?

I don’t know how long the honeymoon will last but it can’t possibly be forever. Will it take saddling out kids with a few more trillion? Perhaps. Will it take a terrorist attack on our homeland? That may do it.   Will it take free healthcare, education and welfare for gate crashing criminals? Well, that’s already going on and people could care less.

My guess is once the nanny state stupor wears off, the anger will escalate. I think it may come down to increased taxes. Obama and his fellow liberals seem to be of the belief that they can just tax the superwealthy but the last time I checked they were in relatively short supply.   What happens when they are tapped out, or just get fed up and move elsewhere? 

Each trillion dollar check costs every American somewhere in the neighborhood of $6700 dollars.   We are talking multiple trillions for a population that doesn’t have fifty bucks in the bank.   The debt we are creating will be the demise of our country. If you don’t believe me, just wait until China decides to stop underwriting our foolishness. 

As any historian of the Great Depression will tell you, the market crash of 1929 would have resulted in mere recession of twenty four to thirty six months had the government not intervened.   They did and it took World War II and a half million American lives a decade later to fix what the government created.   If Obama and the liberal Congress institute what they have planned it will take an equally catastrophic event to get our nation back on course. Is that really what we want for our kids? Maybe you should ask those who are hoping his socialist agenda works.

Coronation, what coronation?

Today is just another day. I’ll get up, go to work and see half of what I earn stolen by an out of control federal bureaucracy intent on destroying America.   While the nanny state electorate of sub IQ 80 Americans celebrates the coming of hope and change as the messiah parts the skies, I’ll be toiling away to figure out how to make more money, because Lord knows I’m going to need it.
The waning hours of a presidency are always interesting, especially the pardons and commutations. You will recall that in his final act, Bill Clinton pardoned felon fugitive financier Marc Rich and members of the Puerto Rican terrorist organization FALN.   After eight years of crime, corruption and cover-ups that defined the Clinton administration, this came as no surprise.
Pardons and commutations tell a lot about a person, so it also came as no surprise when I heard that President Bush commuted the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. It makes perfect sense that a man who has committed eight years of his life to defending our freedom would stand up to free two honorable men who were maliciously prosecuted while defending our borders.
If you recall, Ramos and Compean were border guards who confronted Osvaldo Davila, a convicted drug smuggler and illegal alien.   After a brief scuffle, Davila attempted to flee and was shot in the butt. Liberal , activist prosecutors then took Ramos and Compean to task and somehow won convictions.   The two men were sentenced to ten years in jail and Davila rewarded for making up stories as he testified for the prosecution.  
The greatest mistake of Ramos and Compean was not finishing the job. They should have done what any honorable American would do when faced with a gate crashing felon; kill the parasite. 
As our president leaves office, he leaves on a high note that will certainly be ignored by the mainstream media. Why? Because it would make the president look good which would run counter to their never ending agenda of character assassination. 
Besides, it would take time away from the coronation of the anointed one.   I mean, seriously, how can we talk about national security when Michele Obama is wearing a new dress.   How can we talk trillion dollar budget deficits when the orgasmic events of the day are only costing the tax payers $150 million, which by the way is four times more than Bush spent on his inauguration that drove the media ballistic. 
But this is the day and age of hypocrisy. The liberals have finally found a leader, who like them, loathes freedom, liberty and justice.   They now have the ability to undermine God, family and country with their own values of emasculation and political correctness. They now have the power to ban free speech, only allow criminals access to guns, gay marriage, drive through abortion clinics, economic illiteracy, failing schools, union intimidation, sham elections, pedophilia and terrorism.  
Certainly there may be a democrat or two that doesn’t share those values but it’s fair to say that they aren’t in Washington where NAMBLA has front row seats to the Li’l Jazzy J rap show at the mall. As I said earlier, today is just another day for the intelligent few left in America. Certainly it’s a celebration for the young, the dumb and the uninformed to whom Obama owes a debt of gratitude. For the rest of us it’s time to figure out how we’re not going to get our pockets picked over the next four years.
