Well, thanks to the Drudge Report, everyone now knows that 0bama’s example of why we need to extend unemployment benefits yet again was convicted of prescription drug fraud one month before she was fired. She probably cannot get a job because of her conviction (and was probably fired because of it), which any potential employer can find out by running a simple background check — something Commander inCompetent’s staff failed to do.

But I don’t want to talk about that part of the story.  What I want to talk about is her lament she might have to “[turn] to her father for financial support.”

Holy Leeches, Batman!  This woman has been sponging off me (and everyone else who works for a living) for over a year, and is now in the Rose Garden begging for more of my money, but hasn’t asked her own freakin’ FATHER!!

What the hell is this country coming to?  People are too damned proud to ask their family for money, but they’ll DEMAND it from people they have never met?

There is no way Bush could get away with this, but I’ll bet 0bama does. The left does not care what their politicians do.

According to the Washington Post, 0bama is proposing that the FBI can access your email traffic without a warrant, “if agents deem the information relevant to a terrorism or intelligence investigation.”

If they deem the information relevant, Mr. President, they can damn well get a warrant.

Financial Reform just passed with 3 GOP votes to take it over the top.  What does more departments with more minorities and women have to do with Financial Reform?  That isn’t even a taste of what is in this new bill that NO ONE has read.  We just found out that Obama waved his magic wand and now Healthcare Reform will include FREE screenings and consultations-without even a co-pay BUT only if you are on the government plan.  What’s next but cap & tax AND immigration reform.  So you say to me “ACT, just be patient.  The elections are coming and we will change all this”.  My ass!  By my recollection, there are still about 6 months before elected officials take office in the new Congress and during that time the Chinese might have already started setting up labor camps because we passed the “Asia Cancel Our Debt For Our Country In Trade Act”.  I find it very difficult to laugh this predicament off.  How will we go about re-establishing sanity, growth, wealth and our Constitutional rights after these massive, invasive bills are passed.  How do we stop Obama from creating more government offices with insane salaries?  I would like someone to tell me I can retire without the government taking everything I own anytime they want to.

These kind of actions started the War for Southern Independence.  Why have the states with balls (are there many?) not recalled their congressional representatives back home as a sign of boycott?  Why hasn’t Va. sued Dodd, Frank, Reed, Pelosi and others (including Obama) for not upholding the Constitution, curcumventing states’ rights and criminal activities which have resulted in the taking of liberty, monies, earned wealth and happiness (and the pursuit thereof) from its citizens?  I don’t owe bank bailouts-that was a lie.  I don’t want someone to not play by the same mortgage rules I do and not be penalized.  I don’t owe ANYONE a free ride and feel that I shouldn’t have to buy someone a ticket.  This is not going to change after the election and it is time to stop this free liberal ride.

You guys hate that issue of secesion.  You want to wait things out and go by the “process”.  Guess what?  That “process” is on the upper shelf in the closet of the White House-not to see the light of day.  If we do it correctly and Obama and Congress do it incorrectly, what is the score so far?  How much money, time  and quality of life will be lost forever while we are trying to stop the hemmorage much less reverse the flow before we get to just break even?  When is it time to keep all your paycheck until tax day; give what you have to your kids now before the gov’t gets it when you die; turn off all news media completely; make a class action suit by STATES to sue personal individuals in the U.S. Government; secede.  Just check other countries around the world and tell me which ones you think we are becoming.  Then understand how they got that way and how long it took.  The government is not corrupting the Constitution-only itself.  The Constitution can be saved but only if these new ideas/laws/mindset are rejected.  How do you go about doing that?  Hope and change in the upcoming elections aren’t going to do it!  Mark my words.

“NEVER AGAIN!” was the cry after the National Socialist Workers Party was done with its attempt at a final solution to the “Jewish Question” in WWII. The West as a whole vowed to never stand by and allow a new pogrom to reignite. Today the liberals are not standing by. They are actively taking part and assisting the likes of Hezbollah and mad Mullahs of Iran.

Obama and his cabal have treated Israel with contempt, and grovelled before the dictators of the world. A nation has the right to guard its borders. A nation has the right to protect its people. Obama condemned Israel for doing this. Last year over 100 rocket attacks were inflicted upon Israel. These attacks emanated from Gaza and the West bank. These attacks were conducted by Hamas. The Turkish ambassador to the US has said that, “Hamas must be part of the final solution to the Israeli conflict.” This thug is still on our soil?

Imagine if India were to attack Chinese cities on 100 separate occasions. What do you imagine the response would be? Imagine if Buffalo NY, Flint MI, Boston MA, and Seattle WA were subject to weekly rocket fire from Canada. Would our media advocate not only restraint but concession in light of such bombardment? I instead would imagine that such action would be viewed as a casus belli.

Many in the West are echoing the propaganda of the Junta’s of the Middle East. The dictators that rule from Morrocco to Pakistan echo the puerile antisemitism that is common fare of Wahhabi dominated mosques. On college campuses today it is cool to be an anti-Semite. MSM today is slanted towards this warped view. If a second holocaust is to be avoided, good people must stand up in the public square and cry NEVER AGAIN.

UPDATE: Former Clinton spokesman, Joe Lockhart, said: “I hope we are strong enough as a country to sustain voices that are wrong, voices that offend, even voices that incite.” Cry me a river. This yahoo support’s shutting down the voices of descent with the ‘fairness doctrine.’ Great 1984-ism that bill.

Back to Germany and Poland?

Helen Thomas gives voice to what the media is thinking, the crazy aunt in the attic speaks what is on her ‘mind’

UPDATE:
One of our resident philosophers Wolverine has posed a most excellent question: Where is the ADL? If Thomas where a conservative pr a Republican the ADL, and other watchdogs, would be out in full force decrying this comment. If the president were Republican they would be demanding a statement of him as to whether he supports Helen’s comment. The ADL has become more of a liberal lapdog than a guard dog of Judaism. The Jewish community should take note of this.

Someone needs to explain that the German’s killed 6 Million Jews just 65 years back ‘home’ to Helen. Europe is no home to Israel, it is the land of their diaspora. The Kingdom of Israel covered the region from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River and beyond. Someone needs to explain this to Helen and the other anti-Semites in the liberal Media. The left has returned to its anti-Semitic roots. The world should take note of this.

UPDATE II: Helen Thomas Retires!!
Good riddance to bad rubbish I say.

The People’s Republic of Kalifornia is collapsing. The State has a budget gap of $20B. To help close it, the State is asking the federal government for $6.9B.

Say what?!

Yes, the State that in 2007 had the 7th highest per capita income is asking the rest of us to bail them out of their self-dug socialist hole. Lavish government union contracts — with generous retirement packages and medical coverage, social programs galore, and crippling business regulations, have sent the State into a tailspin. They may cut their programs some, but they’re not going to raise taxes — it takes a two-thirds supermajority to pass a budget, and it is not likely that the California Republicans would go along with a tax increase. Instead, they will make the rest of us pay more in taxes to pay for the shortfall or, more likely, to make payments on the increased debt we will be taking on.

Thanks, Arnie. The Austrian Oak is now the Austrian Oaf.

…0bama will start work on Immigration Reform, so that more indigents can be added to the overburdened “safety net,” and Cap-and-Tax, so that he can hit our businesses from the other direction, too!

C’mon, libs, you have a nation to bankrupt!

History shows that when a significant percentage of a population is enraged with the government, the government fails. Mostly through some kind of revolution; sometimes through despotism, sometimes through a popular uprising. That percentage historically has always been less than 30% (find any country in which 30% of the population is angry about the government in which the government has remained … I don’t think it possible). Right now, there is a large percentage of people in this country that are enraged with what congress has done. It may be that the change of government will be peaceful … we do have an election in November coming. But knowing how polarized the country has become I’m not confident we can continue in a peaceful exchange of power any more.

The present government came about because of liberals being enraged over Republican policies (not what I would call conservative policies, but what Bush I and Bush II did). There were a high percentage of people angry about government then. Now there is a similar percentage of people angry about the government. In a very real sense, there is little ability for the country to cut a “middle ground” as the polarization becomes more and more complete.

The fundamental issue that presses is the proper role of government. If one group hears “We are from the government; we’re here to help” as a curse, and the other hears the same words as a blessing, there is little way to have reconciliation and compromise that will satisfy either group. Those that see government take over of everything as a curse will be upset by a government that imposes itself in more and more of life. Those that see government take over of everything as the only way to be “fair” will by upset unless government does take control. Even a middle ground is excluded, both side will dislike it.

My hope is many people see the problem, and realize this could be the end of the republic.

The time to remember is November…both 2010 and 2012…. Let us hope that we can pass through one more change (in both congress and executive branches) and that the people will remember how they were betrayed by those they elected.

As of 10:27 pm EST, the criminals appear poised to triumph in their effort to rip off the American citizenry. The fix appears to be in. If this bill passes with all of its corrupt machinations which have barely begun to have been revealed – apart from the dissolution of the Democrat party, what is next in addition to bankruptcy of the U.S., the end of our health care system and, possibly, civil war?

If this abortion is delivered to the President to be signed, the signing event should be accompanied by a massive march on Washington.

UPDATE: Hypothetical question: The next time you meet an elected Democrat, why should you not slap that person in the face, for the sake of history?

UPDATE II: As the discussion has moved to the topic of everyone’s favorite Loudoun County Supervisor, I submit this memento from memory lane. Good times, good times ….

Naturally, the godless socialists deem it appropriate to ram their godlessness down our throats by voting for socialism on the Sabbath.

An open letter to congress

We won’t forget it.

Regardless of what you might want to think, or hope, the people of this country are not as stupid as you might want to think. Sure, they are gullible at times, but they won’t easily forget what you do if the entire country has spoken. Remember Scott Brown. If you don’t, you too will find out what it is like having those whom you would have vote one way (for you) vote another way. Polish up your resume, or vote against the health care bill.

(Sorry about not signing it before, I forgot that the new software does auto sign.)

The Other McCain has full coverage ….

The statists are fond of saying that ours is a “living, breathing Constitution,” which can be interpreted according to the prevailing winds of politics.  But when words have no fixed meaning, then they have no meaning at all.  Let us consider a Constitution that guarantees citizens  ”freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration.”  Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?  It’s the Constitution of China.  Maybe that’s what the statists want.

The people are coming out tomorrow to march against Obamacare 2.0. The socialists (Democrats) are desperate. They cannot pass this bill on an honest vote. They cannot pass this bill by bribing their fellow congressmen with our money. So. What do they do. They will pass it in committee and call it a day. The Slaughter proposal takes us into banana republic style government. This would be a law passed by fiat. Do we now call the DOTUS el hefe? What is wrong with this bill? A better question is, “What is NOT wrong with his bill?!” It is:

Riddled with Taxes: This legislation is riddled with tax hikes. They start by taxing those earning over $10,831 year who don’t buy health insurance $750—a tax that escalates to $3,800 as income rises. Health insurance, health care devices and drugs are also taxed, adding to the cost of health care, and decreasing the competitiveness of these businesses.
Medicare Cuts: The bill cuts $500 billion in Medicare spending, including over $130 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage and nearly $120 billion in Medicare cuts for hospitals that care for seniors. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says they “expected the Medicare Advantage plans to lose 2.7 million enrollees over the next decade” as a result.
Raises Insurance Prices: CBO also finds “premiums in the new insurance exchanges would tend to be higher than the average premiums in the current-law individual market…” (so we are doing this WHY?)
Force, Not Choice: This legislation includes an “individual mandate” forcing all Americans to purchase health insurance, like the Massachusetts law. Taxpayer subsidies will be given to those earning up to three times the federal poverty level. Those not qualifying for subsides will be taxed up to $3,800 if they do not buy insurance, and the Joint Tax Committee has confirmed failure to pay your fine could result in jail time. The experience in Massachusetts has left those caught in between unable to afford insurance and having to pay the tax.
Big Insurance Boondoggle: Forcing all the uninsured into insurance could bring as much as $200 billion a year in new premiums to insurance companies, including $465 billion in subsidies over 10 years.
Privacy Violation: This legislation would allow law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and the Department of Justice unprecedented unfettered access to medical records.
No Lawsuit Reform: This legislation fails to curb junk lawsuits. It doesn’t even implement the “demonstrations projects” on reform the President called for (despite the fact that states like Mississippi have already done so and seen medical malpractice insurance premiums drop 42 percent). Instead, it will “express the Sense of the Senate that health care reform presents an opportunity to address issues related to medical malpractice and medical liability insurance.”
Bipartisan Opposition: The only thing bipartisan about this bill is the opposition to it.
The Senate:a vote for “cloture” on this legislation is a vote in favor of government-run health care.

We will be watching your vote closely. Congress — VOTE NO! People — Now is the time to call your congressman. Now it is time to call the blue dogs in the house. Blue Dog Democrat means, ‘leftist pretending to be moderate’ in a right leaning district. Let these dogs know the jig is up.

Obama is a leftist ideologue. The press, our dear MSM sold us a bill of goods last November. They refused to look behind the curtain and see the great Oz for what he really is. A man who gives good teleprompter. A man who whether the MSM will report it or not is a pawn of the far left thug-o-cracy of Chicago. This is what we get for refusing to pay attention to the scam the NYT’s and the alphabets were pulling. Shame on US.

The woman is cracking up before our very eyes. The on going gaffathon, the delusional statements, the outright falsehoods delivered with all the believability of a four year old with their hand in the cookie jar. It would be funny if this woman where not third in the line of Presidential succession. Nancy Pelosi is Joe Biden’s life insurance. How is that for scary? Get a load of this latest howler:

So much for accountability. So much for the most open and honest congress ever. Now, if we want to see the legislation, we have to first enact it as law?!? Hey, Nancy this is not the ’surprise’ in a box of Cracker Jacks. This a law that will heavily impact one sixth of our economy. This is a law that will impact who controls our choices regarding which doctor, what procedure and what medicine we can choose to use. This is a law that will impact how we make our choices near the end of life, the beginning of life, and everything in between. This insane woman expects such a choice to be made in the dark?

What do we do after the bill passes and is signed into law? Yell “Surprise?!?” Nancy Pelosi has more than likely succumbed to dementia, that has been caused by the stress from the task of trying to pull off the greatest con job the world has ever seen. She will go down in the books as the crazy aunt of our congress. We as Americans have witnessed this health care fiasco unfold over this past long year. Time and time again the Democrats shut the Republicans and the American Public out as they schemed behind closed doors, cutting deals to somehow get this travesty signed into law. We as Americans can do better, and should demand better of our government.
