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.

Wake Up, it's 1763

 

According to the latest Gallup poll 40% of Americans identify themselves as conservatives and 36% identify themselves as moderate with only 20% being self described liberals.   With such a minority on the left, how is it possible that America’s president is the most left wing, radical liberal in the history of the Republic? Simple, a government run education monopoly coupled with an extremely biased media resulting in a level of misinformation unparalleled in the universe. 

Consider that the main source of news for many Americans are the alphabet networks with anchors such as Katie Couric who is more fit for an appearance on Dancing with the Tards than to deliver the news.   Millions of Americans flock to buy People Magazine, log into TMZ or watch Entertainment tonight for their daily dose of whose screwing who in Hollywood yet they couldn’t name their state senators or Congressman. 

Perhaps the silver lining is that CNN is now dead last in the ratings of cable news networks. The aforementioned 40% of informed Americans are the driving force behind Fox News continuing its domination in this arena. 

Print media is down another 10.6% which certainly isn’t attributable to inflation or a nearly flat viewing of internet alternatives but rather due to the inherent bias resulting in most newspapers being better used as toilet paper than a news or information source. 

But none of this seems to matter to liberals who are intent on ramming through socialized medicine irrespective of the financial consequences or generational theft.   What’s more amazing is that Americans, who overwhelmingly are opposed to socialized medicine are sitting idly by more concerned about which celeb is adopting another baby from Obama’s Kenyan homeland. 

Perhaps it’s time for each and every one of us to take the initiative to inform our ill informed family, friends, relatives and neighbors of the failures of liberalism.   Start by going up to an unemployed Obama voter and asking them how that stimulus is working out and then remind them that when Bush left office the unemployment was less than 5%.   Ask about the coddling of terrorists in Club Gitmo and then point out the escalating troop deaths in Afghanistan.   Remind them about the failures of social security and medicare and remind them that those programs are the poster children for the health reform being proposed by liberal Democrats.   The list goes on and on but one thing stays the same; every program ever rolled out by liberals has become an utter failure. Why? Because liberals are measured only on intent, not results. 

Government schools sure sound good; by and large they are complete and utter failures. School bussing was designed to force integration of schools yet virtually all inner city schools are segregated with an primarily black population whose minds are raped by the unaccountable teachers unions.   Taxing the rich to pay for the poor may sound like a noble idea, but did you ever wonder why the rich are moving more and more money, jobs and businesses overseas? Unions were all about fairness until the jobs went to India and China.   Yes, every liberal ideal is has proven to be a failure. 

Now what? Bans on free speech, bans on guns, bans on Fox News, bans on transfats, bans on SUV’s, bans on fireplaces.   Again, an endless list designed to limit your rights and your freedoms because liberals know that the only way to make despotism succeed is to keep the people down and uninformed. Of course, it looks like they are succeeding in that regard. Time to wake up…it’s 1763 all over again.

Socialism Withering on the Vine in Europe

 

It must be really bad when the Treason Times puts out an article entitled “Europe’s Socialists Suffering Even in Downturn”.   In their worst performance in Germany since the 1940’s, the socialist party got just 23% of the vote.   Could it be that the idiot electorate is finally beginning to realize that the Great Recession of today was caused by socialist policies including excessive taxation, regulation and nanny state oversight?

Even in nanny state France, the breadbasket of euro-weenies, the direction of the country is moving to the right.   Ditto for England, Italy and Spain and eventually right here in the United States. I have to admit it is an uphill battle, as those of us with common sense are constantly having to fight the lies of the mainstream media and Hollywood elite.   It’s not possible to hold a conversation based on fact and logic with liberals, because liberals are inherently illogical and more often than not suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome.  

Perhaps things are about to change, and not the kind of change that bankrupts our nation for generations to come.   Even the left most polls are showing that Obama’s popularity is now below 50%.   Consider that the likes of AP typically poll Democrats at a rate of about 2 to 1.   They also skew their polling to places like California, New York and Kenya where Obama remains popular.

In zip codes where people work for a living, Obama’s popularity is below 30%.   The popularity of Congress is even lower, hovering in the teens. Watching the evening news one would not think that this administration was doing anything wrong.   The likes of CNN and the alphabet networks do everything in their power to sugarcoat any publicity that may be bad for Obama and the liberal/socialist agenda.   They have to; after all he was their creation, manufactured like a 21st century version of Weird Science.

The truth is that socialism has been withering on the vine since its inception.   It was a failure in the U.S.S.R. and across Europe. It has failed in Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea. Even in China, the socialist leaders have adopted capitalist principles.   So what’s the liberal answer? How about having Michael Moore create an anti-capitalist movie which will be nothing more than the latest sequel in his science fiction series.  

Socialism will always fail because you cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.   You can’t effectively take from the producers and give the entitlement class without causing a revolution, which is where we are headed.   Hopefully this will go no further than the ballot box, but liberals throughout history and across the globe are notorious for rigging elections to retain power, so who knows what will ultimately occur.  Will America become a banana republic reminiscent of Nicaragua and Chicago, or will sanity prevail with liberals being cast aside. 

What we do know is that the people who matter in America, the producers of goods and services, are not happy.   These are the very small business owners being punished by the Obama agenda of tax increases who in turn are forced to lay off employees.   These are the people who buy durable goods, but no longer can afford them.   Ultimately something has to give, and apparently the Washington establishment doesn’t appear willing to discuss steps that we can take to fix what they have broken.  

Stay tuned, because the next year could get very interesting if liberals don’t wake up to rising sentiment of anger amongst real Americans.

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?

The Real Fix for Healthcare

 

In the most recent AP poll taken yesterday, 52% of Americans are against the Obama/Democrat healthcare plan.   So what does Obama do? He speaks to a joint session of Congress and the American public with one of his most partisan speeches to date.   He ridicules the prior administration for cutting taxes and creating jobs while completely ignoring the fact that his economic policy has doubled unemployment since he took office. He pays lip service to tort reform and competition; the two things that could actually lower health insurance costs. Worse yet, he outright lied about what was contained in the 1000+ page document. 

The highlight of the Obama speech was Republican Congressman Joe Wilson who stood up and said, “You lie,” when it was suggested that the bill wouldn’t provide care to illegal aliens.   All the while, Nancy Pelosi could be seen glaring with her aging, hollow eyed hippy, hate filled eyes while Michelle Obama, still not proud of her country, sat idly by shaking her head wondering how someone could dare challenge the messiah.  As it turns out, Wilson is right and Obama did lie.   The unfortunate thing is that Wilson actually apologized for what he characterized as uncivil behavior. The truth is that we need more like Congressman Wilson and we need them to shout from the mountaintops about the every increasing frequency of lies coming out of this administration.  

Watching the speech was like watching an infomercial trying to sell an unwitting audience on losing weight while never leaving their couch.   It is utterly amazing that Obama continues to state that we can all have government healthcare without raising the deficit by one dime.   Right; and I’ve got a few bridges to sell you. The facts just don’t mesh with the rhetoric coming from the Obama administration that has yet to spell out any measures that will be taken to cut costs.

In reviewing this bill (something the mainstream media has yet to do) the fact remains that the government option creates 53 new bureaucracies, all more unaccountable than the ones that exist today.   Obama talked about fixing the problems in Medicare and Medicaid, which have become a cross generational disaster. The bottom line is that he has an agenda which is to create his legacy proving once again that he is more narcissist than president.   He could care less about any one of us, but he must do something to get the egg off of his face in the wake of his poll numbers falling like a rock.  

Proving that he could care less about you or I or especially the aging, he continues to be dogged by the language of Section 1233 which states that advanced care planning consultation shall include five year reviews of options or more frequent for the terminally ill. While they are not called death panels, a review with your doctor of options on sustainability of life could be construed to be just that if the government is forced to ration healthcare, as is the case in every other nation with socialized medicine. 

If government is to provide care with no cost increases to anyone then rationing will be required. They will have to cut expenditures which will be a line item in the annual budget. In other words, bureaucrats will have to make life and death decisions.  

The fact remains that our nation cannot support socialized medicine, which has failed in every nation on earth.   Nor should we.    The bigger issues are the underlying problems in our existing system where competition has become increasingly limited and doctors increasingly scarce due to over regulation and frivolous lawsuits.   In one sentence I will do what Obama and the entire Congress has failed to do. Create competition by allowing carriers to compete over state lines and enact tort reform with loser pay laws. If it’s that simple, why don’t we do it? Ask the unions, trial lawyers and illegal immigration advocates to whom Democrats are beholden.

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.

Obamanomics is Doomed to Failure...and that is a good thing!

 

It was bad enough when someone lacking the experience to be so much as a Wal-Mart greeter was installed by ACORN as president of the United States.   Now we have union thug Dennis Hughes, former head of the AFL-CIO, appointed (most likely payback for campaign contributions) as Chairman of the Federal Reserve for New York.  

How is it possible that so many completely unqualified people are being placed in positions of such great power and Responsibility? Remember, the AFL-CIO is largely to blame for our trade deficit and the moving of manufacturing jobs overseas.   This power hungry, mob controlled organization ranks right up there with the modern day Democrat Party in their culpability for the destruction of economic freedom and individual liberty in what was once the United States of America. 

All the while, Mr. Obama takes a vacation at a $35,000 dollar a day estate with the nation losing a war in Afghanistan and the economy in the tank.   I wonder if any of this will make CNN or will they be too busy extolling the virtues Obamanomics and Obamacare…which by the way are both destined to fail. 

It guess from the Obama perspective now is as good a time as any to get the hell out of Dodge as his poll numbers continue in a free fall rivaled only by Nancy Pelosi and her seditious alliance over on Capitol Hill. I wonder what part of enough is enough these self serving narcissists don’t get? Then again, this isn’t about us…it’s about them and their never ending quest for power and control over the dumb masses.

My guess is this reprieve from Washington will buy some time for Democrats to plot their course for ramming some form of socialized medicine through Congress on a party line vote.   Interestingly the AFL-CIO and other union thugs have resorted their ubiquitous intimidation tactics against Blue Dog Democrats who provide the only chance for derailing Marxist medicine in Congress. 

It appears that once again Obama has lied to the public as he steers the course of beltway dialogue away from bipartisanship, currying favor to lobbyists from radical, left wing organizations who are demanding more government in our lives.   Then again, those of us with intelligence (read those that did not vote for the messiah) knew that he never intended to govern from the center (another Obama lie) but rather from the far left as evidenced by his track record while acting as a puppet for Bill Ayers and ACORN. 

There is no doubt that the worst is yet to come, as government intervention in healthcare will doom us to a double dip recession.  With the CBO now stating that the Obama deficit is now headed to $9 TRILLION dollars there is no way that the nation under liberal leadership can survive.   This type of monetizing of debt will result in stagflation that would make even Jimmy Carter blush with envy.   It is highly likely that unemployment will hit 15% (30% among Obama voters) before all is said and done and within the next couple of years inflation will rear its ugly head as the Fed will be unable to use interest rates to control inflation due to nobody having jobs and credit remaining relatively tight.   Then again, this is all part of the liberal plan to create mass hysteria and ultimately dependency on the nanny state government.   Perhaps now is the time for everyone to say a prayer that Obama fail miserably because if he succeeds in his quest for power and control the nation that we once knew will cease to exist.

Liberals Once Again Show Their True Colors

 

It appears that the Congressional Liberals, our very own domestic version of the Taliban, are going to ram through a public (socialist) healthcare option despite rising opposition. Why not; they have an entire underclass of unproductive citizen’s whose votes must be bought before the mid-term elections. 

The GOP is smart to steer clear of this one, as socialized medicine has failed in all corners of the globe. Just like the rest of the Marxist agenda being pursued inside the beltway, this is doomed to fail as well.  

What liberals fail to realize is that the government does nothing right; and government is not the salvation of anything. To the contrary, whatever the government touches ultimately implodes. Be it the debt ridden post office, bankrupt social security or the failing medicare program, everything runs in the red.   If you want to get a glimpse at the future of our government run hospitals I suggest taking a drive through your local government run housing projects.   For a preview of the lines in the emergency rooms head down the DMV.   To get an idea of the caliber of your medical doctors, wait in line at the DMV until you get a chance to go to the counter.  

Then again, this isn’t about you or I. It’s about power and votes. It does appear that some of the Jim Jones Obamabots are finally waking up from their state run media induced stupor to the reality of a culture of corruption never before seen outside of Central American banana republics right in their own backyards.

In the liberal worldview, socialized medicine is important. It ranks right up there with state run media and industry because it brings the Marxist utopia one step closer to reality. For those of us with common sense and an understanding of history, we know that it brings the tyranny of Marxism one step closer as well.  

The key now is to keep up the pressure on Congress.   While the GOP, and the few true conservatives that still remain in the party, can’t derail this disaster they can be vocal dissidents. They can focus their energy on becoming as obstructionist as possible and urging their constituents to do the same.   At the end of the day, when this house of cards comes crashing down, they can then say “I told you so” just as we have successfully done with every other liberal utopian ideal.   

So as Obama’s popularity plummets and the public outcry over socialized medicine becomes fiercer, liberals will finally be showing their true colors. Their actions, in the face of mounting opposition, speak volumes of their true un-American intent.   Remember, to them the Constitution is a mere inconvenience to be addressed by liberal activist jurists.   The electorate is nothing more than a nuisance to be controlled by ACORN proctors in polling places. Ah yes, Stalin, Hitler, Lenin and Marx must be beaming at the success their protégés are having on Capitol Hill.

The Liberal Dog and Pony Show

 

If you’ve been watching the mainstream media you’d think that all of the town hall meetings are staged. Yes, those rabid conservatives are orchestrating events and feigning outrage at the Obama healthcare plan.   In fact, the only legitimate town hall meeting was the one held by Obama, where pleasantries were exchanged and even the most diehard opponents of socialized medicine had an epiphany and now support the concept marginalized care and death panels run by government bureaucrats. 

So, as usual we have to examine the facts that the liberal media won’t investigate.   Last week Nancy Pelosi called anyone against socialized medicine un-American and referred to them as Nazis. Conveniently a swastika appears at the offices of Georgia Democrat David Scott.   Coincidence? I think not. I wonder if Pelosi and her ilk have been shopping in the paint section at Home Depot lately.

In Michigan there was a downhill attendee carrying an “Obama as Hitler” sign who it turns out was a union plant, out to shed negative light on those who support freedom and liberty. Check out the video yourself.

http://theblogprof.blogspot.com/2009/08/busted-obama-as-hitler-poster-was.html

Liberals are on a mission and will use any and every tool available to deceive the American people into giving up more of their rights.   All the while, the single biggest thing that could fix healthcare isn’t even on the table. If liberals really wanted meaningful change, don’t you think they’d be discussing tort reform and putting an end to the frivolous lawsuits that continue to drive up medical costs.   Then again, liberals don’t care about you, only about power which comes in large part from the campaign contributions of trial lawyers.   Are you starting to see a pattern here. 

The anger that we are seeing is very real and it is only a tiny fraction of the true sentiment present in the productive segment of our population.   There is a reason we are called the silent majority. The anger is reaching levels never before seen in our country and will likely spill into the streets eventually.   Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat controlled Congress are an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to our nation. The Republicans who sit idly by and do nothing aren’t far behind.   Where’s the real leadership in Washington? 

Historically speaking, wars have been fought over much less than destroying one fifth of an economy.   The liberals have reached too far and the oppression and name calling of white Americans has gone on too long.   Perhaps people are finally waking up from their American Idol induced stupor and realizing that those Fox News babes have been right all along.  

Unfortunately things are going to get worse, much worse.   Unemployment will continue to rise with inflation coming down the pike as the result of ridiculous amounts of monetized government debt.   With that will come Carteresque interest rates and an increase in home foreclosures.   For those that didn’t take Economics 101 Obama is creating the greatest economic disaster that our nation has ever seen. How’s that for change you can count on…

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?

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.

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

Pelosi's Big Mouth and Economic Illiteracy is to Blame for Failure in Congress

The bailout is a bust and the stock market plunges.  Of course this is all going to be blamed on George W. Bush and his Republican cronies, but will anyone stop for two seconds and look at the facts?
 
Nancy Pelosi gave a scathing speech in advance of the vote, basically blaming anyone who isn't a bleeding heart, bedwetting, anti-capitalist for the problems that exist today.  For the past couple of years I sat back and laughed at the hollow eyed hippy from Haight Asbury, never really taking her seriously.  However, I must reconsider my position as she is truly a threat to our nation as we know it.   She is so pathetically ignorant on the basic concept of economics that she makes Karl Marx look like a capitalist.  
 
The vote was lost because it was a bad bill, plain and simple, that threw good money after bad.   The bill was so bad that not only did Republicans vote against it, but 95 Democrats joined their ranks.   Now that the mother of all welfare checks has been put on hold perhaps Congress can look for real solutions to the problems at hand. 
 
First, let's repeal that insidious Sarbanes-Oxley legislation that was haphazardly thrown together in the wake of Enron.  As evidenced by the past two weeks it has been an abysmal failure that has resulted in foreign investors moving their money out of our nation into less regulated environments such as England and France.   Yes, I said it, less regulated environments such as England and France whose own economies have been suffocated by over regulation. 
 
Second, we need to abolish the principle of market to market accounting that forces banks to reduce the value of their paper because of one single data point that skews all results.   Plain and simple, if every home on my street is worth 500,000 but one owner sells for 250,000 for whatever reason (tax lien, short sale) then all the paper held by banks on the street is now worth 250,000.   To say this is stupid is an understatement, but if you are Nancy Pelosi it is the fault of Republicans despite Democrats being solely at fault for this ridiculous type of economic mandate.  
 
Third, we need to get government out of the private sector.   They created this mess with the Community Reinvestment Act that forced banks to make loans to people who could not otherwise afford the loans.  The quasi government puppets at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac backed these loans from borrowers who used such things as welfare and unemployment checks as proof that they were good credit risks.  Obviously those aren't the votes sought by the GOP, so who do you think came up with this lunacy.   Yep, Democrats.  It was created by Carter and strengthened by Clinton.  
 
These are all simple solutions that cost far less than 700 billion dollars.   If little ol' me can come up with them while clinging to my Bible and gun, why can't liberals come up with them?   Is it because they are really that stupid or do they have a more sinister motive such as undermining capitalism and creating a plan by which government would suddenly have a major interest in the private sector?
 
We know they want to ban free speech, Bibles and guns.   Is this part of their ploy to ultimately achieve their master plan of Marxism in America?   I don't know, but under the Obama regime we will likely find out because if the young, the dumb and the uninformed have their way on Election Day the anti-America Messiah will be on his way to Pennsylvania Avenue unless the ignorant amongst us wake up.
