Simple Observations

Not everything that happens in Washington, DC deserves a lot of attention. But the accumulation of these incidents add context to the political debate. For example:

The Pro Life commercial produced for the Super Bowl got the Pro Choice crowd hot under the collar. Based on their response, they should stop the pretense and officially change their name from Pro Choice to Abortions R' Us.

Rahm Emanuel's description of the radical leftwing members of congress as retards, after they proposed attacking the moderate Democrats, raised a lot of ire and the call for his dismissal by Sarah Palin. A woman comfortable in the wilderness and in tune with nature should know that a fox smells its own hole first.

It's been determined that the Attorney General, Eric Holder, made the decision to read the Detroit bound, underpants bomber his Miranda rights. This is the same official who decided to have the terrorist, KSM, tried in New York City. And the very same guy who is out to hang some CIA personnel and Navy Seals for mistreating terrorists. It could be worse. At least he hasn't asked the US to practice Shari law.

The Earned Income Tax Credit, enacted in 1975 during Nixon's presidency, was supposed to be temporary. What began as a $1.2 billion program is now chewing up about $50 billion a year. These cash payments, which average $2659 per eligible family, aren't counted when determining their eligibility for food stamps, subsidized housing and Medicaid. It's the federal government's way of saying thank you to the people who don't pay income taxes.

The elderly are complaining because the government doesn't pay for all their prescription drugs under the Medicare Prescription Plan, enacted in 2003. Lest they forget, they were on the hook for 100% of the cost before 2003. So they should thank their children and grand children for this $100 billion, deficit-financed creation and shut up.

The defenders of the Obama administration claim the terrorist retention center in Guantanamo, Cuba should be closed because it incites blood lust and rallies volunteers for the Islamic Jihadist butchers. Here's an idea. Let's unite all the true believers by renaming it Club Obama and dedicate it to the destruction of the United States.

With the number of companies now pitching gold as a hedge against the decline of the dollar, can anyone doubt that it's a right wing conspiracy to smear Obama economics? Or are the ads part of the wakeup call the voters in Massachusetts heard recently?

It's common knowledge that Mr. Obama promised not to fill his administration with lobbyists. But he has a big heart. It must be difficult for felons, tax evaders, child molesters and Marxists to find a friend in the White House. Maybe it was an act of mercy for Obama to hire forty of them. At least, his generosity kept them out of Chicago politics.

As symbols go, the portrait of the Chinese communist, Mao, on a Christmas ornament in the Obama White House, pretty much tells Americans where Obama stands politically. Enough said?

Prove It Mr. President

The 2011 US budget, presented to congress by the current administration, calls for $3.8 trillion of spending. The same document estimates the government will gross $2.2 trillion in revenues. Do the arithmetic. The federal government's appetite will add $1.6 trillion to the deficit.

Finger pointing is fruitless. Here is the reality. Private enterprise carries the entire burden of the cost of entitlements and government overhead. And it can no longer sustain itself, entitlements and the government bureaucracy.

The US economy is in crisis because of government spending. Every job lost in the private sector reduces tax revenues, and increases the demand for government services. Increased taxes on the income of the surviving companies and individuals, to replace the contracting revenues, only results in the further decline of the economic engine.

Ironically, the growth of government bureaucracy and entitlements is a direct result of the hardships caused by taxation on business and especially on the Middle Class. Every government welfare program from Pell Grants to Day Care allowances to Cash for Clunkers is taxpayer compensation to justify the cost of government.

Every administration and congress, since LBJ introduced the Great Society in 1964, has expanded entitlements to pacify the taxpayers, and to build dependent constituencies. These government expenditures have put the economy on the brink of collapse because there is no fiscal elasticity left.

For five generations productivity in the private sector shielded most Americans from the negative consequences of over-taxation. Advances in technology hid the dire consequences of government expansion.

Arguably, technology was the root cause of the jobless recoveries in previous recessions. Without the advances in robotics and computers which spurred productivity, the current economic calamity facing America would have occurred in the late 1980's.

The collection, analysis and dissemination of information eliminated the jobs of middle management, as well as, the jobs on the manufacturing floor. This kept productivity and profits soaring. It also cloaked government's avarice and made the people on Wall Street rich as the stock market climbed to record levels.

Taxation and government regulation also pushed jobs off-shore, encouraged by Wall Street which was only interested in quarterly profits. The same phenomenon, and for the same reasons, have families migrating to states with lower taxes. This spirit of self-preservation is sowing havoc in the states which enriched welfare programs and bureaucracies, believing private enterprise would provide an eternal source of revenue.

The bubble broke on Mr. Obama's shift. The only difference between Obama and his predecessors is that he, Pelosi and Reid exposed the scam. TARP, the Stimulus, the 2010 Omnibus budget and Obama Care tore the covers off the charade.

His attempts to blame private enterprise for the recession hasn't impressed the taxpayers. He's promoting more government spending and higher deficits. He blows kisses to the bureaucrats when he should be practicing tough love.

It's obvious the Democrats do understand the repercussions of Scott Brown's election in Massachusetts. Before Brown could be sworn into office, they raised the debt ceiling another $1.9 trillion. This gives them a $300 billion slush fund to squander.

Mr. Obama, prove you are not an ideologue. Cut government spending across the board, or shut up and sit down until your term expires. Ditto for every state governor and every mayor.

Chris Matthews' Agenda

Chris Matthews is an informative, liberal specimen. After watching Mr. Obama's State of the Union address, he admitted that during the presentation he forgot that Obama was black. This reaction seems to indicate that prior to this event that Chris Matthews couldn't listen or watch Obama without thinking of his skin color.

His observation provides insight into the bias of the sensitivity indoctrination of the leftwing. Liberals demand that all Americans be blind to ethnicity and race. This standard doesn't apply to their spokespeople. Chris Matthews admitted that it has taken him at least two years to see Obama in non-racial terms.

There is a much darker side to his epiphany. Without equivocation, Matthews inferred that Obama's presentation was so good that he forgot Obama wasn't white. It's apparent that Matthews, in his experience and judgment, finds articulate, intelligent black persons so uncommon that they are mesmerizing.

That shouldn't comfort blacks. It's preposterous to suggest that Chris Matthews is a racial bigot. He's not. But he is a card carrying proponent of ethnic wars.

Whether consciously, or unconsciously, he is an advocate of racism, the wedge issue of the liberal agenda. The leftwing needs racism to justify and drive its socialist agenda. And understand, if Matthews is unconsciously promoting class warfare, he is a liberal dupe and too stupid to be taken seriously.

It's pure hypocrisy for liberals to condemn racism, while simultaneously encouraging political correctness, multi-culturalism and diversity. The implementation of these standards require racial profiling and automatically introduce racial friction. They were never intended to promote racial harmony; they were designed to muffle the proponents of personal initiative and self-reliance.

MSNBC did not hire Matthews because he has sensitive legs, it employs Matthews to promote the liberal agenda. And it has gotten its money's worth from him. He now personifies the left's willingness to repeat a lie until it's accepted as a truth.

The world has noted that there is no honor among thieves. This admonishment has never slowed Matthews or MSNBC from promoting Obama's administration and the deeds of Pelosi and Reid. Matthews and company are so contaminated by ideology that they have lost sight of truth.

A liberal news organization, without an unbiased perspective and balance, will rationalize and justify racism if it creates a shortcut to socialism. Chris Matthews is the poster child for this propaganda. Frankly, his act is just ethnic jingoism masquerading as inter-racial peace negotiations.

Matthews and company want the world to believe that all who oppose Obama's agenda are racists. But please note, he is the only commentator who brought the subject of race into the discussion. The other pundits and newscasters focused on Obama's message.

This explains why MSNBC is now a footnote. It dragged itself off the page by misrepresenting the integrity, generosity and aspirations of ordinary Americans. The crowd of effete, socialist sympathizers, like Matthews, have segregated themselves by promoting racism.

It's that Obvious Mr. President

In his State of the Union speech Mr. Obama knew what to say to appease the Americans revolting against his agenda. He is very good at knowing what to say when standing behind his trusty teleprompter. Of course, Americans are also aware that there is little correlation between his promises and his political practices.

His poll numbers are in the tank, so it is not surprising that he finally reached out to the Middle Class by focusing on employment. But it is hard to feel the love. It's obvious that this arrogant little windbag is galled to have to mend fences with the folks he regards as Bible thumping, gun toting, pickup truck driving dunces.

He assembled a prestigious panel to focus on the economy and job creation. The Middle Class Task Force appears to be a step in the right direction, especially after he, Pelosi and Reid spent the last twelve months and over a trillion dollars growing the government payroll.

It's just a shame that this body is filled with persons unfamiliar with capitalism and private enterprise. But it keeps decision making simple. They will conclude that another Stimulus is just the medicine the nation needs to heal the deficit ridden economy.

No one should be alarmed by the national deficit as Obama is now a deficit hawk. That's right! He promises to hold the line on 17% of government spending for three years, beginning in 2011. He forgot to mention that the budget and Stimulus he approved increased these sectors by about 24%.

Do the arithmetic. That's equal to a 6% increase for every year he will sit in the White House. Only a true believer in socialism would have the audacity to call this fiscal responsibility. But here's the deception. The deficit, without spending cuts, will grow $6 trillion despite this "fiscal restraint."

And never forget that his latest budget was packed with nearly 9,000 earmarks. Obama's promise to veto any spending bill which contained earmarks must have slipped his mind. Of course, his pledge of transparency, bi-partisanship and protecting the nation's security is also missing in action. In his defense, he may have selective memory syndrome (SMS).

SMS is a common malady among socialists. They don't even remember that every socialist scheme in history collapsed under the weight of universal conformity. So it's not strange or unusual for Obama to think the government is the chief job creator and the protector of the citizens from the perils of private enterprise.

Obama was all over America's enemies. He carefully explained that those evil bankers and financial types are the root cause of the recession. He's aghast at the size of their bonuses and incomes.

Yet, he forgot to mention the $33 billion that his administration secretly handed these players after publicly paying them $29 billion, a fair market price for the derivatives originally valued at $62 billion. Please note: $33 billion plus $29 billion equals $62 billion. What was Obama buying? Silence for Tim Geithner's complicity?

Just keep in mind that this is the same administration that offers terrorists the same legal rights as US citizens; the identical administration which refuses to concede that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were out of control, and the principle cause of the recession.

And don't forget! Every proposal Obama supported, from health care to energy, targeted the income of the Middle Class.

Since President LBJ introduced the Great Society, the Middle Class' standard of living has been ravaged by federal, state and local taxes. Government is solely responsible for its decline. Even the Democrats in Massachusetts realize this.

Yeah, it's that obvious Mr. President.

Taxes, Tenure and Entitlement

In their initial school year it's doubtful that first graders would select government dependent as a career over the dream of being a fire fighter, or actor, doctor, cowboy or astronaut.

School administrators don't engage speakers to promote welfare dependency on Career Day. And have you ever seen a booth at a Job Fair reserved for spouting the advantages and benefits of not working?

Yet, entire wings of government buildings are dedicated to administering welfare. The bureaucracy manning these offices competes head-on with private enterprise for growth dollars. Their jobs, like their clients, are totally subsidized by taxes generated by private enterprise.

The only tangible difference between the bureaucrats dedicated to the growth of welfare and their equally insatiable customers is union membership and ID badges. Of course, the parasites with the ID badges have one big advantage.

They pay themselves and swell their ranks first. Their clients only get the crumbs that are left over. In a nutshell, this explains the core inefficiency of any government controlled program.

Of course, the size of subsistence payments is carefully monitored. The payments must be high enough to guarantee brand loyalty and low enough to assure dependency. It's the same formula used to attract bureaucrats and retain their allegiance.

Unlike the folks in private enterprise, the success and life style of bureaucrats are not determined by ingenuity, productivity and marketing skills. Their economic growth is determined solely and exclusively by the outcome of elections. They prosper when taxes are raised.

Bureaucrats regard tax cuts like farmers regard drought. That's why the majority of them always vote for the candidate who espouses the need for higher taxes. Taxes pay their salaries and fund their marvelous retirement, vacation and medical benefits.

For decades the Democrats and Republicans have worked diligently to build government bureaucracy. The Republicans addressed the strategy in terms of compassion, while the Democrats created the right of equal outcome. Together they managed to give government workers numerical superiority over the workers in private enterprise.

The rapid growth of government finally caught the attention of the taxpayers. When they discovered the average annual wage of bureaucrats was about $20,000 higher than comparable posts in the private sector they became testy, especially with unemployment over 10%.

Now put the outcome of the recent Massachusetts senate race in the context of the exponential growth of government. Don't be deceived. Ninety-five percent of the bureaucrats and welfare recipients who voted, checked the Coakley box. The superior numbers of government workers and their welfare constituency got beat by turnout.

The Republicans may have benefited, but they didn't win. Both parties suffered a devastating defeat. Working Americans are taking back control of the country from government one elected post at a time. They see the relationship between higher taxes and loss of freedom. They now recognize the enemy; they are called incumbents.

Any politician who proposes higher taxes on anyone or anything to improve employment has his or her head stuck in a dark place, and the floors in Congress aren't covered in sand. The winners in 2010 will address deficit reductions through spending cuts and demand tax cuts to stimulate job creation. The rest will join Coakley.

Good Morning America

Scott Brown just defeated Martha Coakley and won a Massachusetts senate seat which has evaded Republicans for nearly six decades. Hang onto your hat. Here comes the spin and distortions and political contortions.

Fact: Every Democrat, Republican and Independent knew the result of the special election, to fill the seat vacated by Kennedy, was a done deal. Short of butchering her husband or spitting on Kennedy's grave, Coakley's path to DC was strewn with roses.

Fact: The primaries in Massachusetts are always hotly contested. Winning any primary election, for the House or Senate or dog catcher, automatically guarantees the Democratic contender a smooth ride to the finish line. Martha Coakley crushed her opponents, receiving 73% of the votes cast in the primary.

Fact: There was no need for Martha to mount a campaign beyond a few perfunctory appearances. Her verbal gaffs were immaterial. In a state that only recognizes one party a Democratic incumbent can be comatose and win. Contenders merely have to be able to sit up and take nourishment and demand higher taxes. She could do both.

Fact: In mid-December, 2009 Martha Coakley, without any serious campaigning, held a 20% margin of victory over Scott Brown. She just had to hang around for the election to confirm the obvious.

Fact: Scott Brown's political thumping by Coakley was rear ended by Mr. Obama, Pelosi and Reid. The cesspool deals they cut with Nebraska's Senator Ben Nelson and the unions to salvage Obama Care turned a de facto landside for Coakley into a sporting contest.

Fact: Scott Brown ran as the forty-first vote against Obama Care, for lower taxes and stronger national security. He waged his campaign against the Obama agenda. Coakley just happened to be the local candidate who represented Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

Fact: Scott Brown did not run as a Republican, nor did he profess loyalty to the Tea Baggers; he ran as an Independent under the Republican label. Although the GOP hierarchy will beg him to be their spokesman, he will not be their point man.

Fact: Scott Brown and his trusty pickup truck gave voice to working Americans. He gave them the opportunity to vote for themselves. He made it okay for ordinary people to fight for their right to be heard and be reckoned with.

Fact: The Democratic Party is so out of touch with working Americans that it actually ran commercials promising the end of Obama Care if Brown was elected. These arrogant, insulated weasels confirmed that Brown represented safe passage from a hated abomination.

Fact: Scott Brown saved the careers of many Democrats seated in Congress. His election proved that Marxism is not in vogue on Main Street. His election excuses sitting Democrats from following Obama, Pelosi and Reid. He made it safe for them to say "no thank you" to political suicide.

Fact: Scott Brown's election showed all Americans that the United States is not the property of the Republicans nor the Democrats. He woke the slumbering masses It's a new day in Washington, DC.

So good morning America, it's good to see you awake.

Calling All Parasites

The senatorial race in Massachusetts captured the attention of Mr. Obama. He must be exhausted. It's not easy dragging a teleprompter down the steps of Air Force One on a cold New England day.

The Democrats weren't expecting a Republican challenge in Massachusetts. They just assumed that the voters understood the vacant senate seat was part of the Kennedy Endowment. The liberals had anointed Martha Coakley to hold the post until another Kennedy heir could be propped up for the coronation.

So put Scott Brown's surging campaign in context! The Massachusetts voters are obedient masochists. A few short years ago they voted down the opportunity to eliminate the state's income tax. These voters are the perfect prototypes for socialist zombies.

It's obvious that the Democrats are confused and frustrated, and feel like they were blindsided. They truly believed that their neck-deep corruption and their socialist agenda had pushed all the industrious out of the state.

So regardless of the outcome, heads are going to roll in the Democratic Party for this failure to eradicate the pro-Constitution opposition in this bluest of blue states.

Obama came to Martha's rescue, hoping that he could change the election dynamics in the Commonwealth. He was informed that Marxism wasn't selling, so Obama settled for encouraging illegal aliens and the steadfast welfare crowd to vote on Tuesday. He hoped to attract throngs of parasites to the voting booths. And that's exactly why he showed up.

He didn't have to address the membership of unions, the trial lawyers, the educators and bureaucrats who already get the lion's share of the common wealth of Massachusetts' tax payers.

Obama must really miss ACORN's ability to turn out non-existent voters. Under the tutelage of the Democratic political machine, this criminal organization earned their keep by turning the election in Minnesota. Imagine the sorrow of Pelosi and Reid and Obama when the treachery of these community organizers was uncovered by Fox News.

But the Democratic faithful should fear not. Massachusetts Democrats have a strong communion with God. When the outcome of an election is in peril they can rely on the Almighty. He always delivers in Massachusetts. Low and behold the heavens will open.

Thousands will rise from the dead in time to be bused from the cemeteries to the voting booths. It's a miracle that happens in every close election. So it would be naive to expect Scott Brown to win a senate seat in Massachusetts.

In a one party state, patronage is not a shared commodity. Brown can only offer the residents of Massachusetts a chance to end the government tyranny. There's no proof that the majority of citizens want or can win a contest in such a corrupt environment.

Obama bet the parasites, who outnumber the hosts, will show up for a free lunch. That's all he was selling.
