Democrats Need Amnesty for Illegal Aliens

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:47:00 +0000

Most every resident in the country received a letter from the U.S. Census Bureau informing them that the official 2010 census form will be arriving shortly. Its plea for cooperation states that a prompt response helps the recipient's community get its fair share of government funds.

It also determines the number of House Representatives each state is entitled based on population. States with growing numbers of residents may get additional seats in Congress, while those with stagnant or declining populations will end up with fewer.

California, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Michigan may have the size of their delegations reduced, while states like Texas and Florida may see their delegations increase in number. The redistribution of the 435 House seats have the Democrats worried.

The states that gain seats will create new districts to accommodate the increased representation. This puts the majority party, in the growing states, in a position to carve out districts that favor its members. The governors of these states will wield a lot of power. Their decisions will influence the direction of the country for a decade.

The Democratic Party, which controls all the states hemorrhaging residents, sees the percentage of residents in favor of their agenda growing. But they are not gaining converts; they are losing opponents. The productive citizens of these states are bailing out and heading to states with sane spending and tax policies.

The Democrats see the problem. They can't stop the brain drain in the liberal bastions, nor do they control the healthy states that appeal to the proponents of private enterprise. This explains Mr. Obama's attempt to tuck the 2010 census under the arm of the White House.

This effort, combined with the Democrats' proposal to use statistical sampling rather than actual body counts, would have allowed them to massage the data. It was a blatant attempt to preserve the Democratic advantage in the House by retaining control of the seats currently situated in Blue states.

The Democrats have been aware of these demographics for a long before the Tea Party movement. Their hopes are now pinned on illegal immigrants. States like Massachusetts have managed to balance the loss of their productive, self-sustaining population with illegal immigrants. The Democrats desperately need them counted in the census.

This explains the U.S. Census Bureau's introductory letter offering help in five foreign languages. But the strategy is backfiring. The liberals' solution compounds their problem by requiring ever greater taxes to support the welfare programs attracting illegal aliens.

This in turn encourages emigration from the Blue states by increasing the tax burden on their ever dwindling tax base. Like California, all the bright Blue states are imploding. Expect to see a rush of amnesty legislation in the coming months. But don't be naive. It has nothing to do with fairness and justice. It's not about helping the innocent children of illegal aliens.

It's about creating a majority consensus for socialism. It's the same reason Obama Care is being pushed. It's about crushing the opportunity still available in the Red states. It's about destroying the last sanctuaries of private enterprise and freedom of choice.

The Enemy of Prosperity

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:58:00 +0000

The Democrats and Mr. Obama are on a health care tirade. It is obvious that the objective in their take-no-prisoner plunge into socialized medicine isn't driven by potential improvements in the cost, quality or increased access to medical services.

Even the pretense that these considerations are the driving factors was abandoned right after America's citizens rejected the proposed legislation en masse. Obama's tune is changing. His latest speeches implore the electorate to accept the government's takeover of medical care to punish the evil insurance companies for the growing cost of premiums.

That's like blaming the unemployed for deliberately increasing the cost of the business contributions (taxes) which fund the benefit. If Obama's logic is applied, the unemployed should be punished for losing their jobs. After all, the rising cost is directly related to their greedy attempt to survive.

Here is a disclaimer. No one pretends, nor even alludes, that the thirteen hundred health insurance companies have never gouged a client. To believe this would be as naive as trusting that 100% of the Unemployment Compensation beneficiaries exclude illegal aliens and US citizens scamming the system.

The majority of the Democratic members in the House and Senate are screaming that without Obama Care the nation will not be competitive in the world market, and its rejection will ultimately cause the economic collapse of the United States. Granted, it's a lie, but for the moment take them at their word.

If Obama Care is the most critical lynch-pin to the survival of the nation it would be insane not to implement it. One problem: The cost of Obama Care will bankrupt the nation. It seems Americans are down to choosing which cliff to jump off. But there is a third alternative.

If the nation is doomed without Obama Care and will be doomed by its cost if it is implemented, it's time to examine the nation's priorities. It can survive without the EITC, all welfare entitlements, Pell Grants, the Departments of Education, Agriculture, Commerce and the EPA.

Then scrap Medicaid and SCHIP. And certainly the budgets of other government agencies can be reduced 30% if it means the nation's survival. Even the budgets of the Pentagon and Homeland Security can be reduced 10%. Illegal aliens cost the nation about $300 billion annually. Say good-bye to press #1 for English.

These cuts would provide ample funding for Obama Care, balance the budget and save the nation. It's remarkable that not one single Democrat has demanded budget cuts to save the nation from imminent collapse. Their solution is higher taxes.

Millions upon millions of US families have stripped their budgets down to the bone to survive, but not the federal, state and local governments. And we all know why. They only have one priority, namely, the preservation of their fiefdoms. That's why America is in a world of hurt.

It's time to admit that government is the real enemy of prosperity. Its growth erodes opportunity.

The Snakes in the Grass

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:05:00 +0000

Mr. Obama's reputation is about on par with nuclear fallout. He is determined to make socialized medicine the masterpiece of his administration's legacy. This objective has erased any doubts about his ideology. He has his fist in the air and is screaming all the Marxist slogans.

The election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts opened the White House doors, which barely concealed the deception and corruption required to dismantle the practice of private medicine.

The loss of the super majority in the Senate didn't create Democratic listeners; it just eliminated any pretense that Obama, Pelosi and Reid cared if their policies created the political equivalent of a nuclear winter.

Democrats won't escape the wrath of those who Obama disdains as Bible thumping, gun toting, pickup driving morons. Others refer to this body of voters as the Middle Class. Obama treats their objections as petty and uninformed obstacles to the wonders and rewards of life under the government's thumb.

The earthquakes in Chile and Haiti will pale in comparison to the global repercussions felt when the fault lines beneath Washington, DC open and swallow his followers on November 2, 2010.

But it's his willingness to sacrifice them to secure his legacy that is frightening. It begs the question. If he is willing to cut the throats of his political proponents, what has he planned to destroy his political enemies?

Obama is not an honest man. He is a devout, pragmatic opportunist with a messiah complex. His actions and words are those of a man who believes he is the sole arbitrator of the truth. His disciples in the media created and groomed this image, which carried him into office.

Despite its heroic attempts, the media can't rewrite the facts fast enough to bolster his reputation and justify his agenda. In fact, they couldn't even justify his existence without mentioning God's mercy, which they will never do as this would undermine their core anti-religious principles.

Although the voters were sucker punched, legions of them have regained their balance and are walking away from the myth. Obama is down to saving the core constituency of the Democratic Party. They are the parasites who depend on the taxpayers for their existence. The words of those in the media, which created the Obama myth, now have the same appeal as dog food.

Of course, the goal of socialism is to convince the citizens that it is better to be government pets and accept a universal diet of dog food, than allow the inequalities and inequities generated by personal incentive. In truth, income redistribution is political dog food masquerading as equal opportunity.

The Republicans are gloating due to their misconception that Obama has given them a free ride in the mid-term elections. Their lack of support for Senator Bunning's recent demand that the cost of the extension of Unemployment Benefits not be added to the national deficit did not go unnoticed.

Pretend Republican politicians are more revolting and insidious than the scourge of Democratic socialists. At least the Democrats have stopped pretending that they are defenders of the Constitution and support a robust private economy.

Beware of Democrats in Republican clothing. They are the snakes in the grass.

A Good Day for America

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:34:00 +0000

Mr. Obama is convinced the government can spend its way out of a recession. His mindset hasn't been deterred by public opinion, history, nearly insurmountable deficits and gruesome job statistics. His Health Care Summit was symptomatic of his state of mind.

It's clear that he believes: 1) Americans trust him, 2) that his intellect is superior to all other mortals, 3) that being President entitles him to ignore contradictory evidence, 4) that he has the absolute right to determine what is best for America, and 5) that disagreement with his vision is tantamount to civil disobedience.

He was finally transparent. His performance clearly denoted a smug, entitled, dismissive person blinded by his title and handicapped by his limited experience. He is a socialist troglodyte, unfamiliar with the aspirations, ethics and principles of the people who live beyond the horizons of his cave.

Obama is so tangled in self-love and Marxism that he will never be worthy of the title, President of the United States. He will never grasp the ideology of the nation's founders, nor admit that the fundamental rights listed in the Constitution aren't open to conjecture. He sees the Bill of Rights as an exclusionary impediment to his vision of government.

He is so steeped and comfortable with political corruption that he doesn't see the disgrace in these sordid practices. He has never drawn a line between success and success at any cost. The health care legislation epitomizes his contempt for integrity and his willingness to abandon fairness to achieve an objective.

His loyalty didn't blossom when he took the oath of office. He has never come to grips with the duty of a President to represent and protect all Americans. He is still mired in the tawdry relationships he made in Chicago. His representation remains confined to protecting and nurturing the corrupt and hungry bedfellows that followed him from Illinois.

Obama arrived at the White House without any experience in the private sector. Thus, his economic solutions are confined to addressing hypothetical circumstances. He doesn't share American's belief in the free market, because it's foreign to him.

In his eyes, personal responsibility and the risk/reward incentive are not substitutes for guaranteed government handouts. This partially explains his apology tour around the world. He believes Americans were duped by capitalism.

He was apologizing for a government, built on the aggressive pursuit of individual wealth, that he believes harmed the world by unfairly using more resources-per-capita than the other nations. This observation dovetails perfectly with his pursuit of Cap & Trade legislation. He wants to cripple, if not destroy, America's reliance on energy to harness capitalism and establish a new social order.

Those who claim that Americans learned nothing, and that no minds were changed by the Health Care Summit are wrong. They watched and heard Obama defend his administration's determination to substitute government control for private enterprise and freedom of choice. And they saw that he is not trustworthy. It was a good day for America.

Fiscal Insanity on Steroids

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:22:00 +0000

It's clear. The mounting US debt is on the verge of crushing economic growth for decades. The country is already being held hostage by foreign lenders. And the prospects for America's future generations look bleak.

There are no reserves. Yet, the Obama administration and Congress continue to ignore this reality. They are still promoting a healthcare program that will add about $300 billion a year to the deficit. Each year rampant legal and illegal immigration adds tens of billions of dollars to the deficit. There is no way to pay for any of it.

Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are not sustainable without massive tax increases, benefit reductions and eligibility restrictions. Since the EPA was created in 1970, US dependence on foreign energy imports increased by 230%.

Until 1971 the US always enjoyed a positive trade balance. Today, manufacturing is nearly extinct. As the trade balance went permanently negative in the mid-1970's the political class soothed a suspicious electorate, claiming the future jobs in America would be generated along the Information Technology Highway.

Point of Fact: Rotten trade agreements, taxation and government regulation sucked the profitability from goods manufactured onshore. Corporations even received tax incentives to move jobs offshore. And here is the irony. The countries that the US deeded its manufacturing to are the ones that own its debt. These policies ripped a giant hole in the Middle Class.

Middle America has watched its earning potential dissipate, while the federal, state and local governments demand an ever higher percentage of its income. A large chunk of these taxes continue to be needed to cover the cost of welfare subsidies; the need for which is driven by government policies that have spurned economic growth since the 1960's.

The US rode the dotcom bubble for about twenty years before it crashed in the mid-1990's. That's about the time the government opened the gates of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy worthless mortgages. (Note: On December 24, 2009 Congress guaranteed these entities unlimited funding.)

The father of this fiasco was the Community Reinvestment Act, passed in 1977. That's when the government guaranteed the high risk mortgages the financial institutions were encouraged to write, under the slogan Equal Opportunity Lender.

Construction jobs in the housing industry were created in mass when the government guaranteed credit to the non-creditworthy. This turned out to be the largest public works scam in US history. Of course, when the bubble broke the financial institutions were reimbursed with the TARP funds. The costs will be picked up by the Middle Class for generations to come.

This is what makes it easy to understand why the $800 billion Stimulus never targeted job creation in the private sector. Having destroyed US manufacturing, all Congress could do was prolong government employment and create a few temporary public works jobs.

Again, future generations of the shrinking Middle Class will pick up the tab for this extension of the bloated government payroll.

The current recession reduced the trade deficit in 2009 to -$380 billion, from a high of -$760 billion in 2006. Those aren't just statistics. The trade deficit represent trillions of dollars that were never re-invested into the US economy, or increased tax receipts or created more jobs for forty years.

While the Middle Class is hanging on by its fingernails, the Democrats spent another $15 billion for job creation. It's fiscal insanity on steroids!

CPAC 2010

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:38:00 +0000

The Conservative Political Action Conference held no surprises. It was a rain dance. The attendees were fed plenty of red meat and those flirting with a 2012 presidential run were buoyed by the crowd's exuberance.

There was plenty of chatter about deficits and out-of-control spending. But the potential candidates and Republican Party stalwarts skirted specifics. A few alluded to the fact that Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP (Children's Health Insurance) are on the brink of collapse. That's not news.

The Key Note Speaker, Glenn Beck, momentarily disturbed the party faithful by accusing the Republicans of being as big of spenders as the Democrats. History and evidence is on his side. The remark wasn't a shot across their bow; it hit an open wound.

Although he didn't mention names, it was obvious that he wasn't there to put all Republicans on an economic pedestal. His finger was pointed at the likes of Senator McCain. It took the crowd about five minutes to realize the import of his message: It's the record and the political philosophy of the candidate, and not the party affiliation, that will count in 2010.

Beck was speaking for more voters than just the 15 million people classified as Tea Baggers. The electorate isn't hostile and it isn't radical, but it is aware, angry and vocal. And it is determined to wrest control of the government away from those politicians determined to guarantee equal outcome rather than equal opportunity.

Beck elaborated on this observation, stating that the fundamental difference between Progressives and Marxists is patience. The former are satisfied with evolutionary change and the latter demand revolution. Beck made it clear that they share the same objective, government control of the citizenry. Their craft is the art of trading personal freedom for handouts.

And there sits Mr. Obama, Mr. Progressive incarnate. He isn't the enemy of the Republican Party, he is its savior. In thirteen months he has managed to take control of the banking and financial community, car manufacturing and he even tried to control the outcome of the US Census.

He only made one mistake. He adopted the Marxist timeframe for revolution. Healthcare and energy were the first targets he attacked. He wanted them out of the hands of private enterprise before the mid-term elections. This frontal attack on the US Constitution created the Tea Bagger movement.

The Tea Baggers are not in the Republican corner. More precisely, the Republican Party is the enemy of their enemy. The coming healthcare summit hosted by Obama is a test of the Republicans' learning curve. If they adopt the new Obama plan after tinkering with its margins their political careers are over. A third party will form.

Americans want America back. They want the future of their children and grandchildren to be better than their own. This will only occur if the size of government is slashed and taxes are reduced. That's what the 2010 elections will demonstrate. No special margin will be bequeathed to the Republican candidates. They have been warned.

That's What It's About

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:11:00 +0000

Anyone not frightened by the agenda of the Obama administration must rely solely on MSNBC's news content. The nation's fiscal affairs are on life support. The surge of concerned voters, lumped under the Tea Bag label, was spawned by the wanton disregard of their economic survival by Congress and the White House.

There is no bridge between the citizens and the federal government. It's gone. The communication links have been severed. Mr. Obama's crew knows the unrest is growing; and they know the cause. But they have no intention of listening or changing course, just their tactics.

Rather than taking directions from the citizens, they have introduced a media blitz to ridicule and demean any person or group who challenges their agenda. They have declared war on the citizens of the United States. And they have the blessing and cooperation of the mainstream media.

The nation is hemorrhaging from deficits. With Medicare and Medicaid on the brink of collapse, any attempt to add another 30 million people to the government's health care roles is economic suicide. It's just not feasible.

Yet, Obama and his fellow socialists are still promoting this cause, while deliberately ignoring basic market corrections like tort reform. It's starkly clear that improving the quality and affordability of health care were secondary considerations.

Obama and company want to control healthcare to configure a society based on the usefulness and productivity of its members. Don't kid yourself. There is no room in their worldview for the aged, or physically and mentally handicapped. In their utopian future, the consequence of being labeled a "f------ retard" will be a death sentence.

The members of congress and the political pundits have advised the nation that the Cap & Trade legislation is dead. It's apparent that the scientific data supporting the Global Warming scenario was distorted and much of the evidence was faked.

Yet, Obama has threatened to unleash these draconian measures by Executive Order. He has threatened to license the EPA to choke the growth of fossil fuels and grant the federal government absolute control over energy usage, without the consent of Congress or the voters.

Why? It's not just because he is virulently anti-capitalism. That's a given. He needs the $600 billion of new taxes to fractionally reduce the size of the projected deficit. And, equally important, he can confiscate these monies from the budgets of those making less than $250,000 without appearing to break his campaign pledge.

The song of praise for the Stimulus emanating from the White House is falling on deaf ears. Only 6% of US citizens believe this world class Pork Barrel created or saved 2 million jobs. Most realize it only forestalled the collapse of unaffordable welfare programs and bloated bureaucracies.

The nation can only hope that 41 Senators can fight a rearguard action until the November 2 election. That's the day Americans will reopen the channels of communication by electing listeners. And that's what it is all about.

You Don't Say, Joe

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:29:00 +0000

The Obama administration is squirming. It's thrashing about looking for a reason to justify its existence. The only feat it has accomplished is the creation of a deficit that has ransacked the national treasury.

How desperate is this administration for a victory? Vice President Biden proclaimed that the US' success in Iraq can be laid at the feet of the glorious leader, the wartime Commander-in-Chief Obama. That's like giving the Girl Scouts of American credit for the invention of cookies. Nice try Joe.

But it is going to get a lot sillier. Obama is already guaranteeing that employment will grow at the rate of 95,000 jobs per month. After the loss of 4 million jobs in the last twelve months, that would be a positive accomplishment, unless they are all government jobs.

Of course, if this estimate materializes, the number of new positions won't even keep pace with the employment demands of those entering the job market for the first time. And with the 2.3 million new immigrants arriving this year, some of whom are even legal, employment opportunity for Americans will trend downward for at least another year.

In fairness, the pressure for jobs in America is reduced by the willingness of one-half of the illegal alien families to subsist solely on welfare. Joe, can Americans expect you to put these numbers into the Jobs Saved for Americans column. This would bolster the number of make believe jobs created by the Stimulus.

Granted Joe, the people are not giving Obama enough credit for his determination. He's still advocating a version of Cap & Trade this year, despite Americans' overwhelming rejection of the federal government's takeover of all energy production, distribution and the regulation of its usage.

Facing a potential increase of about $3000 in a family's annual energy bills would certainly reduce consumption. This would thrill the environmentalists . . . until they notice that every tree in the country is being cut down for cooking and heating. Hey Joe, would that have a negative impact on the environment?

While you're praising Obama's accomplishments, Joe, tell us how his Iran policy is doing. Did his strategy of publicly maligning the United States and bowing to foreign heads-of-state have a positive influence on the Islamic butchers? It's not apparent from here. It appears their smirking. Is that a good sign, Joe?

And Gee-whiz, did we just hear that China threatened to toss all its US bonds on the open market if we don't play by its rules? Experts state that if China pulled this trigger that inflation would destroy the value of US currency. Tell us Joe that Obama has a contingency plan, which doesn't include printing money, to counter this catastrophe.

Joe, Americans are pleased with Obama's new spirit of bi-partisanship. And we appreciate his sudden involvement with the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. The vast majority of Americans would like this policy changed. After all, it seems unfair for the government and businesses not to question the resident status of people who need an interpreter to apply for a job or public assistance.

Oh, sorry for the confusion, Joe. You say Obama was talking about the military's homosexual policy. After political correctness got thirteen soldiers killed at Fort Hood, would it be impolite to suggest Obama's timing stinks as badly as his socialist agenda?

Voter Wrath

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 13:28:00 +0000

The recent Tea Bag convention in Tennessee rang some alarm bells. It's time to be a little suspicious of those running to the front of this army of angry voters.

Ostensibly the gathering was convened to bring non-affiliated participants together to share their ideas and to mobilize their efforts. But the Tea Party movement is an uprising of individuals who happened to stampede in the same direction at the same time.

They don't need a compass, nor a program to identify their elected enemies. Nor are they waiting for someone to tell them who they should vote for in the next election. They discovered the power of the federal government and lobbyists is no match for the common sense of middle Americans united around a set of principles.

The Tea Baggers don't need marching orders, they're giving them. They can smell the blood in the water and aren't about to apologize for spilling it. Their power stems from the realization that they are not a fringe group. They are at the center of America's political philosophy.

So it is fair to question the motives and agenda of those promoting organization and unity. There is a lot of money in politics. The spokespeople capable of turning out the vote prosper mightily. And in politics, perception pays as many dividends as reality. The convention had the distinct odor of opportunists attempting to cash in on a rebellion.

Mr. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the Democratic establishment threw down the gauntlet when they informed Americans that voter input was no longer required or desired. By persuading themselves that the electorate was their private petting zoo, the Democrats mistakenly stepped on the tail of the wrong animal.

The voter response wasn't organized and it wasn't personal. But the attack was vicious. The crowd had no finesse, just the brute power of numbers. The election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts was not a warning shot. Rather, the American electorate stated emphatically that it wasn't in the mood to take prisoners.

To the chagrin of the Democratic Party, the protest didn't fizzle. The demonstrators didn't slink away and silently wait for a beating. That was the expectation and the reason Obama and company ignored and trivialized their complaints. After all, for fifty years middle Americans bowed to the pressure of government, believing they couldn't beat city hall.

Put simply, Obama and company overreached and discovered that Americans will rip the face off anyone caught putting them on a leash, and that they don't cotton to arrogant politicians who behave like masters.

The polarization of these voters isn't unique in American history. In fact, the origin of this discontent was attended by the same mid-wife present at the nation's birth. She doesn't have a name. She is only identified by the inscription on her banner, Don't Tread on Me.

Any politician who steps in her path will get an education in voter wrath.

Simple Observations

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:30:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:23:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:07:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:12:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:15:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:08:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 12:58:00 +0000

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.

Reid's Misjudgment

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:19:00 +0000

You have to love it. Senator Reid got caught in the glare of political correctness. During the heat of the 2008 elections, he observed that Mr. Obama's light skin and ability to speak proper English made him a viable candidate. It was an accurate assessment.

Reid misjudged the impact of skin color on the voters' reception of Obama. It dates him. He has spent so many years telling minorities that whites are their enemies that he actually believes that nothing has changed since the Sixties.

But, Obama would still be a community organizer if he had delivered his campaign messages in the dialect common to inner city inhabitants. Black, vernacular English (Ebonics) is near universally equated with a sorry education and all the tangential shortcomings associated with this static environment.

Political correctness is a weapon that liberals rarely encounter, as it's designed to squelch the objective truth by besmirching conservative proponents. It's used to smear the subject when an accurate observation challenges the flimsy facade of the Democrats' propaganda. They always resort to personal attacks.

Naturally when a liberal is inadvertently caught telling an obvious truth, which contradicts the liberal message, the offender is excused and the incident is ignored. Had Sarah Palin or Senator McCain made the same statement as Reid, the Left Wing would have unleashed the dogs of war to destroy their reputations and careers.

This conclusion is supported by the willingness of the two most infamous, anti-truth scoundrels in politics to forgive and forget the transgression. There hasn't been a negative peep from either of the nation's two notorious race-baiting slugs, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. And the Black Caucus must be in hibernation.

Now read between the lines of Reid's statement in the context of the political campaign environment. Reid accurately concluded that an articulate and charismatic black had a better chance of winning the presidency than a woman with negatives as high as the Rockies. Obama offered the best opportunity for the Democrats.

And note Reid never mentioned Obama's inexperience, nor his associations with anti-American preachers, Marxists and terrorists. He correctly pinpointed Obama's strengths, and the opportunity to harness white guilt. It was an accurate assessment.

Now analyze Reid's decision to support Obama. Reid knew that Obama was the most liberal member of the Senate. Obama was a true believer, and black.

Thus, Reid could safely assume that Obama blamed the wealthy for the misery of minorities. And Obama's devotion to income redistribution, the green agenda, higher taxes on the wealthy, his anti-military and anti-business stances and his rejection of school vouchers were indicators that proved Obama had swallowed all the liberal propaganda.

Reid saw the ring in Obama's nose that would allow the Democrats to set an agenda that Obama would enthusiastically follow with a simple tug. It was an accurate assessment.

But Reid's judgment was flawed. He believed that an articulate, charismatic, black president could persuade the majority of Americans that socialism was superior to capitalism; that the nation's security would be improved with a smile; and, that Americans didn't care about deficits. He misjudged America, but not Obama.

Profiles Work

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 12:45:00 +0000

Most everyone can understand the negative impact and consequences of racial profiling. For example, if the police respond to a home robbery that was not witnessed, and react by only stopping vehicles in the area driven by minorities, that would be prejudicial and counterproductive racial profiling.

However, if neighbors witness the thieves and give the police a description of the culprits, it is not racial profiling if the police only stop vehicles whose occupants match the eye witness accounts. Or, if the police have a description of a thief spotted in earlier burglaries in the neighborhood, it is not racial profiling for them to concentrate on people with like characteristics.

In fact, any police officer who ignores the description of a thief in his or her search should be fired for dereliction of duty, or more precisely, for stupidity. But that is not the way the system works. Law enforcement and the application of common sense have been divorced to appease the sensibilities of the Far Left.

The security of the nation is held hostage by the advocates of Political Correctness. The inane enforcement of political correctness ignores the evidence and gives criminals the extra consideration granted protected species. The rights and safety and convenience of the general public become secondary to the safeguards granted certain groups, nationalities and those with specific religious affiliations.

Such government mandates are expensive, wasteful and require the suspension of common sense. Of course, this explains why Congress is held in such low esteem. They live to displace common sense by enacting regulations which criminalize it.

A farmer who discovers his chicken coop has been raided, after seeing a fox hightailing it across a field with a hen in its mouth, would not be inclined to suspect the dastardly deed was committed by the cows, horses, pigs and sheep in his farmyard.

However, if he had temporarily worked for Homeland Security, he would check all their mouths for traces of feathers. If he was a cop from a sanctuary city, he would only check the other livestock on the farm, including the hens that survived the attack.

Of course, these government trained farmers would all pretend that the dozens of similar attacks were random and unrelated to the growing fox population. Welcome to the world of airport security.

There is nothing in the world that makes one feel more secure at an airport than watching a TSA agent confiscate grandma's shampoo. And your heart swells with national pride when one of these scrupulous agents inspects the feet of a business man, whose wingtip shoes rest in a plastic bucket.

Everyone knows the process is a sham. The procedure was instituted to implement security without offending the real suspects. So to provide airport security and appease the sensibilities of the Far Left, hundreds of millions of Americans suffer intolerable lines which waste time and resources.

The Terrorists are the bad guys. It's time to be pragmatic and concentrate our resources on those who fit the profile of the Islamic Jihadist Terrorists. They are Muslims.

Here's a hint for the Democrats. No Islamic Jihadist Terrorist caught on the field of battle, or responsible for the attacks on America, was an Irish Catholic grandmother.

Keep a List

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 12:47:00 +0000

Americans are naturally optimistic. So as the polls continue to indicate that their faith in growth and prosperity has retracted appreciably, it's a good sign. Most can't attribute their apprehension to specific statistics or events. They just smell the country is unraveling.

They have lost faith in Congress' willingness to do the right thing. Again, the folks on Main Street can't necessarily define the actions required to stop the downward spiral, but they have concluded that the government solutions are riddled with "me first" considerations.

This sense of abandonment has really hit a nerve. It's the root cause of the anti-government demonstrations spreading from coast to coast and the take-no-prisoners attitude reflected in the town meetings. It's not a revolution; it's just the case that the public has reached a consensus. Government is out of control.

The realization that there is no distinction between government policy and economic failure has crystallized. The politicians are the culprits. They have greased the skids of economic collapse with self-serving spending.

Americans see no correlation between the massive deficits and the promised bridge to economic recovery. They are incensed by the cynical and blatant use of bribes, by both political parties, to insure the passage of legislation detrimental to the well being of the nation.

In fact, Americans know (instinctively) that the bailouts, make work projects and the government financial props for the housing market, vehicle sales, insulation and green projects create nothing but debt. They know these programs are a charade to protect the office holders.

They are aware that these programs were instituted to temporarily mask the dreadful consequences of unbridled spending. To date, the politicians have amassed $12 trillion of immediate debt, and these same politicians keep advocating more debt as the best solution for an economic recovery.

It's not. Americans know it's not. But the politicians have near universally rejected representative government in favor of building and grooming constituencies to protect their flanks.

The Democrats' inspiration for Obama Care, Cap & Trade, Amnesty and the denial of the terrorist threat is the promise of a Democratic plurality for generations to come. And it would be foolhardy for Americans to believe that the Republican opposition to these measures isn't self-serving.

Their intransigence is propelled by the same objective, namely, their reelection. It just so happens that their position on these legislative initiatives happen to coincide with the majority of Americans.

Business as usual can't continue. Obama, Pelosi and Reid have pushed the nation to the edge of bankruptcy. America needs leaders who believe in the people and the Constitution, leaders who are proud of the country and the principles upon which it was built, leaders ready to protect the institutions that protect the people from government.

We must stop electing liars. Here is a place to begin. Any politician who states that Obama Care is revenue neutral, won't create rationing, won't destroy Medicare, won't require massive new taxes, won't interfere with the doctor-patient relationship and will improve health care is a liar.

Start an "Enemies of the People" list with their names. It will be a good beginning to end the government reign of terror.

Happy New Year

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 13:15:00 +0000

Happy New Year! The year 2010 looks more promising than 2009 for the industrious Americans who hope capitalism, the Constitution and Christianity can survive the Obama, Pelosi and Reid socialist cabal.

The Democrats in Congress are in full retreat. Obama Care will destroy the political careers of many in the House of Representatives and the Senate. Those seated in the Red and Purple States wishing to survive will not support Cap & Trade and blanket amnesty.

When the electorate discovers that a large portion of the cost of providing health care for the extra 30 million people is being dropped on state governments, which will require huge property and income and sales tax increases, the eyes of the tax crazed Democrats will be frozen in the headlights.

The Democrats' definition of revenue neutral is hypocrisy wrapped in lies and studded with fantasyland projections. If they pass Obama Care the cost of health care will grow in indirect proportion to the quality. Policy holders and Medicare recipients are going to get hammered. The income of the young and healthy will disappear in front of their eyes.

Few Democrats are bragging about the merits of the $878 billion Stimulus Package. It's no longer part of their lexicon. Likewise, they aren't talking about the masterful job Obama and company have done creating non-government jobs. And you can bet your last dollar they are not about to praise the Department of Homeland Securities Secretary, Janet Napolitano.

Of course, they haven't reformed. The coffers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are being reloaded so unqualified home buyers and Democrats can con the public out of another $200 to $300 billion. It makes the Wall Street bonuses, which outrage their ethical standards, chump change by comparison.

The Obama "speak softly and burn the stick" international policy debut has crashed and burned. Only an arrogant, narcissist would have entered the field of battle in his birthday suit. Our enemies are shaking in their boots, doubled over in laughter.

The overall B+ Obama gave himself adds a whole new dimension to grade inflation. In fairness, he deserves an A+ for deficit growth, an A++ for the policies that have stopped the job recovery, and an A+++ for mastering the teleprompter. The grade of F- pretty much covers all other aspects of his first year in the Oval Office.

This insipid, little creature is still working under the misguided perception that Americans wait breathlessly for his next appearance with a teleprompter. He wore out his welcome in most living rooms when his guarantee of unemployment staying below 8% went up in smoke. And most are tired of hearing that President Bush made him do it.

Obama is tanking in the polls. This fact is a testament to the intelligence of the majority of Americans. Coupled with the declining viewership and readership of ABC, CBS, NBC, the New York Times and the other subsidiaries of the Democratic Party, the year 2010 looks like a year ready for a November recovery.

Fear the Electorate

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 12:42:00 +0000

It's difficult for any rational American to comprehend why Mr. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid despise the nation's success. We may never know. And it's equally hard to understand the effrontery of their contempt for its citizenry and the Constitution.

In the spirit of Christmas accept for the moment that this trio fervently believes that the benefits of socialism outweigh those of capitalism. Then allow that they are historically illiterate and are overwhelmed by the desire to share the nation's bounty with the less fortunate.

Now agree that their zeal to right inequities is pristine and is only motivated by their love of mankind and nature. Finally, acknowledge that they are not interested in power, and that their sole political goal is to set the world on a path to universal happiness.

About twenty percent of the electorate in the United States of America ardently believe that this trio is only motivated by these virtues. With all their hearts they believe that happiness is a right of birth and that uncontrolled prosperity is the root cause of misfortune. Another thirty percent conceptually accept these liberal tenets.

The trio's path to building eternal joy on earth got muddied by the fifty percent of social heretics who believe a person's financial destiny shouldn't be abridged by government guidelines, which define and allocate opportunity. They believe in the economic neutrality of government. They expect government to watch their backs while they toil on behalf of themselves and their families.

Most of these heretics never thought of themselves as capitalists, nor Constitutionalists, nor gave much thought to religious traditions or the scattered attacks on religious symbols. They were too busy working.

Their spirit of independence and self-confidence and trust of government created a period in history when their work ethic distracted them. For generations, they, maybe naively, trusted their representatives to strengthen and protect their ability to prosper. And they were too busy working to secure a foothold on the American Dream to notice their right of self-determination disappearing.

The erosion of self-reliance never occurred in pandemic proportions. It was more like the seasonal flu, expected and worrisome but never catastrophic.

Taxes kept encroaching on their personal goals. They didn't revolt. They just worked harder to build their dreams. Most never equated the government's demand for absolute equality and the growth of taxes with the gradual loss of freedom.

Fortunately, Obama, Pelosi and Reid abandoned the stealthy approach to building socialism. They regarded the election of 2008 as a chance of a lifetime to bury capitalism, Christianity and the Constitution. Their greed may have saved the nation.

Americans were persuaded that TARP was necessary, but the electorate was wary. The Stimulus, the bloated budgets, the takeover of the financial institutions and General Motors and the trio's decision to control health care at any cost awakened America's industrious class.

The realization that Obama, Pelosi and Reid despise their ethics and ideals is manifested by the confederation of Americans that hit the streets in protest. The Tea Party is not a political organization; it's a consensus.

Americans want America back. And they will take it back. Any politician who fears the socialist trio more than an irate electorate is doomed.

Merry Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:42:00 +0000

Christmas is a noisy holiday with a quiet message, Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men.

The Western World has sprinkled this Christian holy day with decorative lights, mistletoe and wreaths, carols and greeting cards, Santa and elves, gift giving and tales of a shiny nosed reindeer and a talking snowman.

Say what you will, these ingredients merely add to the festivity of this special birthday party. The glitter is a reminder of the joy of the season in a world in need of a welcome respite from the headlines.

With all these distractions, the message of Christmas remains translucent. Mankind was blessed. The salutation, Merry Christmas, reminds all that the world is blessed with a guiding light we call Jesus, the son of God.

It's nice to be reminded that someone has our backs. That's the real joy of Christmas. Merry Christmas!

The New Enemies of the State

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:48:00 +0000

Well, the Mistress of Marxism, the Commune Captain and the President of the Proletariat have managed to ratchet health care away from the clutches of America's families and those evil private entrepreneurs.

Pelosi, Reid and Obama threatened, bribed and harangued Democrat, Ben Nelson, into accepting socialized medicine. The identical technique worked to crush the resistance of a handful of other moderate Democratic Senators who capitulated under the same pressure.

Because Nelson faltered, he will be welcomed into the ranks of the fifty-nine Senators who abandoned any pretense of supporting constitutional government. Like the others, Nelson withered and died under the convoluted weight of party politics.

These sixty Senators obediently subscribed to the logic that their protection of private enterprise and the economic benefits of capitalism will endanger the power, agenda and career of their leader, the narcissistic, socialist twit sitting in the White House.

They were convinced that the failure to pass Obama Care would limit the liberals' battle against capitalism, which in turn, would have undermined the influence and power of the Democratic Party.

In the final analysis, these sixty Senators succumbed to the implementation of socialized medicine to create a springboard upon which they hope to guarantee a Democratic voter majority. Their promised reward for abandoning support of the Middle Class is the opportunity to permanently control both Houses of Congress by overwhelming the forces that support Capitalism, Christianity and the Constitution.

This is what's driving Reid to conceal the details of the Democrat's health care plan, and demanding its passage without disclosing its contents. In fairness, the Senators whose districts are welfare bastions filled with the leftwing, lunatic fringe at least represented the wishes of their constituencies.

The moderate Democratic Senators, like Bill Nelson, raised their finger to the very Middle Class that voted them into office. They abandoned any sense of morality, their conscience, their oath of office and any shred of honor. These weasels endorsed socialized medicine to protect Obama's reputation and the march of Marxism.

And here comes a political charade. Ben Nelson and nine other closet, socialist Democrats were promised they could vote against the final legislation to protect their reelection chances, as final passage only requires 51 votes. Vice President Biden, the White House pet, will cast the deciding ballot.

Ben Nelson and the other so-called moderate Democrats are now the most dangerous representatives in Washington, DC. They blew their cover. Thus this band of traitors must support any legislation, from blanket amnesty for illegal aliens to massive entitlements and ruinous energy taxation, to quickly build and replenish their voter block to replace the industrious Americans they just betrayed.

Imagine the joy Pelosi, Reid and Obama felt when Nelson rebuked the US Constitution and capitalism. Now, Obama and the Democratic Party will officially declare the US Constitution, Capitalism and Christianity the Enemies of the State on Christmas Eve. They get three for one.

Terrorism by Any Definition

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:58:00 +0000

The vision of Mr. Obama and the Democrats has more in common with that of the Islamic Jihadist Terrorists than with America's families. Both these enemies are fighting an undeclared war against the United States of America.

If this contention is hyperbole, rather than a cold blooded assessment of the Democrats' agenda, the American people wouldn't be sounding alarms cross the land. Obama's agenda continues to imperil the economic survival of the nation.

The Democrats plan to steal the $700 billion in TARP repayments, and the unspent funds in the account, to grow the federal government. They pretend that this money is a real asset, but it's not. Every penny was borrowed and increased the national deficit $700 billion.

The $787 billion Stimulus Plan is a total failure. These funds were all borrowed to expand the power of government; and with good reason has the world questioning the US' credit worthiness. Sadly, either the White House can't account for the spending, or is hiding its distribution.

These are the same smarmy weasels demanding full citizenship for all illegal aliens. This act of "moral generosity" will cost $1 trillion in direct federal and state compensation for these new citizens the first year it's enacted. The federal share of this debt can only be paid with borrowed money. The states will be forced to raise taxes to cover this mandate.

Now the fiscal henchmen running the White House are threatening to use the EPA to expand the government's control of energy to protect the planet from Global Warming. Of course, their sole purpose (other than to appease Al Gore aficionados) is to indirectly raise taxes. This green masquerade party will cost every family Obama promised no new taxes about $3000 to $6000 a year.

Obama and the Democrats are hiding the 2000 pages of details in the Senate's version of the health care bill. If they weren't aware of the economic destruction it will cause, they wouldn't be concealing it from the public. The cost, when fully implemented, will add about $2.5 trillion to the national deficit.

This addition to the deficit is greater than the projected gross receipts of the federal government in 2009. Of course, its real cost is the deterioration of medical health care, including the ability of hospitals to keep their doors open and doctors to stay in practice. Obama Care is to US medicine what Pearl Harbor was to world peace.

Obama, Pelosi and Reid are in full attack mode. The current $447 billion budget, awaiting Obama's signature, is filled with billions of dollars in earmarks and raises government spending across the entire administrative spectrum a full 12%.

While 15 million Americans are unemployed the Democrats showered government with riches. In fairness, the economic psychopath sitting in the White House proposed spending billions of dollars hiring performance dance groups and other warm bodies to caulk windows and doors.

To cover the cost of their flagrant spending, the Democrats will raise the nation's debt ceiling another $1.8 trillion beginning with a stealthy $290 billion.

This should guarantee that inflation will soon send the cost of goods and services into a Jimmy Carter orbit. This universal thief will steal whatever scraps are left on the plates of the current generation of Americans, after Obama and the Democrats have stolen all they can from the future generations.

One Sorry Tiger

Is Tiger Woods preparing for a future in politics? He has showcased most of the attributes and prerequisites required for a distinguished career in government.

He doesn't honor his vows, is willing to abandon any sense of loyalty or ethics for personal gratification, ignores the expectations of his supporters and is too arrogant to consider anyone's financial security if his behavior pleases a handful of camp followers.

His great smile and lack of moral character make him a natural for national office. And he can play golf. He's practically a prototype for Congress.

To date, his only shortcoming is that he hasn't demonstrated the art of declaring himself a victim of a conspiracy. This skill entitles him to proclaim no responsibility for his actions, and automatically infers that his detractors are liars.

Tiger was born with a fabulous athletic skill and parents who understood the value of practice. Both of these assets are irrelevant, if not detrimental, to a political career. With the right family name and fortune an individual can by-pass that whole learning curve nuisance and buy an election.

It's obvious, Tiger doesn't understand the value of shortcuts. This character flaw would outlaw him from the Democratic Party and make him highly suspect in Republican circles. Think about it. The fool would probably want to read the legislation before casting his ballot.

If this character flaw doesn't have the potential to make him the laughing stock of the Washington, DC insiders, think of the snickering that would ensue if he showed up for work more than three days a week.

Holding a political office would be a difficult adjustment for Tiger after years on the professional golf circuit. His tournament competitors all had to play on the same course, on the same day and were judged by the same rules. Imagine the guffaws if he played by the same rules as those foisted on the voters.

And no bureaucrat ever subtracted points from his score card for the sake of multi-culturalism, diversity or to fulfill affirmative action requirements. It would take him years to adjust to the fact that his skin color should always allow him to replay any unsatisfactory drive, chip or putt.

The Black Caucus would shun him and label him an Uncle Tom for demonstrating that persistence, hard work and personal initiative are the backbone of success in America. His very existence repudiates their agenda.

The American Dream is within the grasp of any man or woman with the ambition and fortitude to achieve it. If that message got out, the liberal agenda would crash and burn. So be assured the liberals will claim that he was a target of those evil conservatives. It's coming.

His crime hurt his family and deprived millions of Americans from watching and admiring such a gifted athlete. If he looked America in the eye and promised he would never again be unfaithful to an oath, the people would believe him because he has already demonstrated his resolve to be a winner.
