Pelosi Wants to ‘Investigate’ Mosque Opponents, Perhaps She Should Speak With Moderate Muslims First

August 18, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Democrat Incompetence, News, Opinion, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, The Wicked Witch of the West Comments Off

Today’s headlines read, “CONSPIRACY THEORY: Pelosi Calls for Probe of Mosque Foes” – FoxNews.com; and “INVESTIGATE MOSQUE CRITICS!” – The Drudge Report. What Pelosi is doing is politicizing a subject that is being rejected by moderate Islamic leaders who say the suggestion of building a Mosque on that site has political motives.

In an interview with The Daily Caller, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, suggests that the proposal to build a Mosque in the shadow of Ground Zero is anti-Islamic. He told TheDC…

“This is not a humble Islamic statement. A mosque such as this is actually a political structure that casts a shadow over a cemetery, over hallowed ground. 9/11 was the beginning of a kinetic war, it is not an opportunity for cultural exchange. It was the beginning of a conflict with those who want to destroy our way of life.”

And yet, SanFran Nan, in the tradition of all moronic American Progressives, opens her mouth without knowing what the hell she’s verbalizing about. With 70% of the American people opposed to a Mosque being build in Lower Manhattan, Pelosi is calling for investigations into the opponents of the Cordoba House Mosque. In other words, the few are on a mission to dictate to the many again and if you oppose them look out, it may be off to the Gulag.

However, before we worry about forced labor camps and political inquisitions, let’s take a look at some undeniable facts surrounding this Mosque and “Cultural Center”.

The proposed site is in a business district where there is little to no residential areas.
The largest Islamic population in New York is actually located in another Borough – Brooklyn.
The Mosque’s planners don’t actually own the property they wish to develop, ConEd actually does.
The Mosque’s Imam has had ties to Islamic radicals in the past.
The funding for the Mosque comes from questionable sources. Some suggest Hamas is involved in financing Cordoba House.
Islam has a tradition of building Mosques on conquered land (ie: Temple Mount).
[UPDATE 1530] The name Chosen for the Ground Zero Mosque – Cordoba House – takes its name from the conquered Catholic City of Cordoba Spain. Conquered as in the Ottomans invaded and conquered Cordoba in the name of Islam.

I have voiced my opinion of Islam in the past and am very open about my criticism about a “religion” which has at its core death and destruction, however, my opposition to the building of Cordoba House has more to do with the chosen site than anything. Do I suggest that Muslims don’t have a right to build a Mosque anywhere they wish? Kind of. In this case they cannot build it there. Anywhere else in the US, sure. But not there.

Unfortunately, this site was chosen to put this Mosque on as a symbol of triumph over “The Great Satan” and has nothing to do with the stated purpose. It is an insult to the American people and should be stopped. Nancy Pelosi can ship me off to her Gulag if she wishes but that is not going to stop me (or others) for pointing out the insanity of allowing this abomination to be built.

Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress, told TheDC…

“I think they have an official green light either from the State Department or the White House telling them to, ‘Go ahead, you have our full backing,’ and they want to use this Islamic center as a place for diplomacy to the Middle East to demonstrate that the United States is a place where Muslims thrive. But that has backfired because this could have been done in many other ways.”

Could it have been The Speaker of the House who gave the “green light”? Judging solely on her calls for investigations I would have to say that it is a possibility. After-all, we all understand that both she and the Emperor have inflated opinions of themselves. So it would not be inconceivable that she would at least be in on the effort.

Dr. Jasser had another quote in the Daily Caller article which is so priceless that I cannot leave it out.

He said …

“We are Americans who happen to be Muslims, not Muslims who happen to be Americans. And this structure is all backwards. They just want to force Islam upon the American people and it is going to be used around the world, especially in Islamic media. From the ashes of this destruction comes the flourishing of Islam and I think that is just the wrong message. It is not good for America or for Muslims.”

Although I remain skeptical of any Muslim because Muhammed’s radical commands contained in the Qu’ran supersede his peaceful commands, I have to give credit where credit is due. Both Dr. Jasser and Tarek Fatah are attempting to be leaders who are both reasonable and respectful. However, unlike most in the MSM and Emperor Obamaramadingdong, I disagree with the notion that the majority of Muslims are like Dr. Jasser and Tarek Fatah. It is my belief that the majority of the world’s 1.6 Billion Muslims are radicals. My evidence – the Qu’ran itself.

If an earlier passage in the Qu’ran is contradicted by a later passage, the latter supersedes the first. All the peaceful passages are early in the Qu’ran. The radical passages appear later. Any devout Muslim would understand this.

A Vote for ANY Dem in November is Approval of the Obama Destruction Agenda

August 17, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, Elections, Fiscal Irresponsibility, News, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Presidential Politics, Taxes, The Economy, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

The Emperor is on the campaign trail, well sort of as he has been asked to stay clear of those wishing to actually win their seats. Anyway, he’s attempting to convince the American people to keep Democrats in power. His reasoning? Giving the GOP power will return the country back to the policies of George W. Bush. But is this accurate? No. This reasoning is so inaccurate let me count the ways….

First, Obama is President (like it or not) and he is who sets policy not Congress.

Second, George W. Bush couldn’t win in this political environment. Bush is not seen by Conservatives and Libertarians as someone who reflects the common desires of a smaller, less intrusive government. It was the spending of the 109th Congress under the direction of then policy maker George W. Bush which led to the disaster of the 2006 midterms and a repeat of that disaster in 2008 and the election of Obamaramadingdong. Remember the reasoning why every gullible voter was willing to vote for a vague empty suit. The promise of changing the status quo was too much to resist especially when that promise of change is masked by a cloud of ambiguity.

The election of Barack Hussein Obama was a precursor to a statement made by Nancy Pelosi in the days leading up to the approval of the Death Care bill. Remember when she said, “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it”? Yeah that statement. Well in relation to the 2008 Presidential election Obama failed to identify what he wanted to change and what he wanted to change it into. He also failed to define in whom or what we should have hope. It was a calculated effort to keep the American voter away from details because if they knew the agenda prior to his election, he would never have gotten elected.

With Death Care the bill got passed so we could find out what was in it and the people do not approve. Likewise, we now know Obama’s change agenda and it too is not approved of.

Progressivism took a 100 year approach to getting their political will which culminated with the election of Obama. His aggressive agenda has alienated the American people who were looking for fiscal responsibility and freedom. Its far reaching intrusion into the lives of the American people are responsible for the creation of the TEA Party.

Speaking of the TEA Party, isn’t it ironic that the largest threat to the Progressive agenda was born out of said agenda? After-all, what exactly IS the TEA Party? Broadly, it is a rejection of Obama Progressivism and its policies.

Congress is polling at 11% which translates into only 11% of the American people believe that the agenda being forwarded by the Congress is in their best interests. The GOP has been out of power for nearly 4 years. The agenda from January 2007 to present has been a Democrat agenda [Read also: that includes the last 2 years of the Bush Administration] not the agenda of the Republican Party.

The GOP has been attempting to reassure the American people and in particular the Conservative “base” of the Party that they have learned their lesson. That remains to be seen. However, compared to the spendaholic ways of the 110th & 111th Congresses, the spending spree of the 109th seems like a spending binge. Sort of like a weekend spending bender that ends on Sunday morning with a hangover that produces promises of reform whereas the spending ways of the current Congress is better explained as being in a state of perpetual spending intoxication. They avoid the impact of the morning after by staying drunk from the night before. No sobering realization of self destruction, no promises of reform. While the GOP has been forced by the American people into a figurative SA (spending anonymous) 12-step program, the Progressive Democrats have no intention of giving up their drug of choice.

As the Emperor is out on the “campaign trail” remember that he only wants you to keep his party in power so they can spend more, tax more, and pass more legislation which erodes even more of your individual liberties. Also remember, he understands that come January 2011, his party’s majority is gone. He is also well aware of the fact that his Presidency is going to be restricted to 1 term. That is the price he was willing to pay for progressing the Progressive agenda.

This point is driven home by a post on the Democrat friendly Politico…

Q: Will Barack Obama be a one-term president?

A: Yes, he might last that long.

Honest to goodness, the man just does not get it. He might be forced to pull a Palin and resign before his first term is over. He could go off and write his memoirs and build his presidential library. (Both would be half-size, of course.)

The visions of the Fabian Socialists who invaded American academia in the early 20th century have their chance. It is Barack Hussein Obama. If he can’t close the deal before he’s tossed out of office and designated along with Jimmy Carter in the pit known as “the worst US Presidents in US history”, he will have certainly gotten them closer than ever to achieving their ultimate goal in the US, turning it into a full-blown socialist nightmare.

Failing to understand who Obama was in 2008 has resulted in what is occurring now. He can blame Bush all he wants but the truth of the matter is the American people understand that this economy is owned by Barack Hussein Obama and the Progressive leadership of the 111th Congress. No matter how much he tries to re-paint and revise that simple and undeniable truth into “this is all Bush’s fault”, this is his mess and it is getting worse not better due to his neo-socialist/neo-marxist ways.

It is now 2 years later and some of the damage can be controlled if only Congress were controlled by the opposition Party. Perhaps aggressive action can be made by a Republican Congress to curtail some of the more harmful items on the Obama agenda through its power of the purse. But in truth, the Obama years will take at least 18 more years to reverse. Giving Obama and Democrats another 2 years to do more damage double that time frame.

Consequently, if you cast a vote for a Democrat for any office this fall, it will translate into your personal approval of what Obama is doing to this nation. If you cast a vote for anyone, and I mean anyone including Dog Catcher, you are endorsing the complete and utter destruction of the greatest nation this planet has ever experienced. If you think that statement is far fetched, remember what Obama said about the election so Scott Brown. He made the case that it was the same angst with the status quo that swept himself into office which then elected Brown to a traditionally held Democrat seat.

In other words, a Democrat being elected Dog Catcher of your little hamlet will somehow be made to reflect the American people’s endorsement of Democrat policy. So short-circuit that by making sure every Democrat is relegated to political irrelevancy.

Will Annual ‘Teacher Bailout’ Be The Next Federal Entitlement?

August 10, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Democrat Corruption, Democrat Incompetence, Elections, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, The Nanny State, The REAL Culture of Corruption, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

According to a well-known Chinese proverb, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” The Federal government has so usurped the sovereignty of the various states that they have become dependent upon mother government for their very existence. This is the reason why the United States House of Representatives found itself in session today. That and to give Charlie Rangel an opportunity to whine on the House floor about his persecution at the hands of the Ethics Committee.

The White House and Congressional Democrats were all in a tither about getting a $26 Billion state aid packaged passed that Nancy Pelosi felt compelled to call the House back into session during the August recess. The emergency? To get the legislation passed before the school year begins. Why? So those reliable Democrat votes (teachers) don’t lose their jobs.

Is this going to be an annual event? I mean, is this setting the standard for years to come? Will the House and Senate be recalled from their “much needed” summer recess in order to pass “emergency” legislation so that teachers don’t lose their jobs every August from now until the fall of the Republic? 47 of the 50 states are running budget deficits thanks to mismanagement at the state level and federal intrusion. Unfunded mandates from the federal government and federal aid has made the states dependent upon the feds for funding of all aspects of governance. This is NOT how this nation is supposed to work. If anything, it should be reversed. At least that was the intention of the founders.

Education has become the latest dependency class. Soon to follow will be police and fire departments. Although, the aid package passed this afternoon by the House is a general aid package for states that includes funding for police and fire.

Glenn Beck warned several weeks ago that soon we will have a national police force. He went on to say that it won’t be named as such but follow the money trail.

If the Cleveland Police Department accepts federal funding you should fell safe to bet the farm that the feds will have a dominant say in how the CPD conducts its business. The same can be said of the fire departments AND – Teachers.

Conservative pundits – myself included – understand that this is nothing more than another veiled payoff to a major labor union. Employed teachers equal votes for the Democrat majority. Verbose urging from the Emperor increases his popularity among his base, but only his base.

What isn’t widely known about this bill is that it steals money from another federal program in order for it to be paid for. Beginning in 2014, the federal food stamp program will have a reduction in its planned annual increase in order to keep under-performing and junior teachers in their positions for the 2010-2011 school year. When 2014 rolls around, Progressives around the country will be screaming for additional funding for the food stamp program because this bill gutted the planning increase in funding.

What I find interesting is the choice of which federal spending program to raid in order to keep these under-performing and junior liberal teachers working. The food stamp program. A recent report showed that a record number of Americans are receiving benefits from that very program. Approximately 40.5 million to be exact.

What also hasn’t been discussed in public is the fact that funding for these teachers is already in place. Nearly half of the American Robbery and Redistribution Act funds have yet to be spent. It included funding for teachers, police, and fire but yet the Congress of the United States (House and Senate) with urging from the President, thought that new legislation with an additional funding source needed to be passed now – urgently – before the beginning of the school year so that more liberals turn out to the polls on November 2nd to vote for Democrats. There is no other explanation.

Why use existing funding when they can seem to be taking action by passing new legislation. As I said in another post, it’s a shell game.

I predict that next year there will be a push from the White House to bailout the states again. The cries will be that our school children need these teachers in class when in reality Obama needs their votes.

Dems Poised to Feel Wrath of Voters in ’10 Just As GOP Did in ’06 & ’08

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana
.

Democrats haven’t learned anything from the failures of the GOP in 2006 and 2008. They have consistently gotten it wrong over the last two election cycles. Democrats falsely believed that the rejection of GOP candidates in the past two election cycles were a rejection of policy. They ran on the mantra of the “Culture of Corruption” and won an unstoppable majority.

Was there corruption in the GOP? Yes there was. Many were beginning to get corrupted by the power that Washington D.C. infects. Many were using their offices to gain personally and others were using legislation to insure re-election. The Pork being enjoyed by many Republican members of Congress in the latter years of the Bush Administration led to the downfall of the GOP.

In 2006 Conservative voters had no one to vote for so they stayed home. In the 2008 Presidential race, the choice was between a Progressive Democrat and a Progressive Republican – Socialist or Socialist Lite. Identity politics played a larger roll than ever before in American politics. The euphoria created by the possibility of electing a minority candidate to the Presidency won over voters and rationale lost.

The GOP’s candidate was selected by the progressive main stream media because they all knew that if given the choice between a Democrat and a Liberal Republican, Conservative voters would bail on the Republican as they did in 2006.

Voter intimidation and fraud did play a roll in the 2008 races as well. But yet, the Obama Infestation doesn’t have any interest in making sure those crimes are never again repeated. After-all, they benefited from those crimes.

Since taking office, Obama and Nancy Pelosi have led their party to the far left. The sheer growth of the federal government and the near Imperial powers now granted to the President by this Congress must have the founding fathers rolling in their graves. The result of all this growth in government is record high deficits which are 4 times the size of those that led to the downfall of the GOP in 2006.

The $427 Billion deficit racked up by the Bush Administration in 2005 pales in comparison to $1.42 Trillion 2009 short-fall and seem like nothing in comparison to the projected 2010 deficit of $1.75 Trillion. To put the Bush deficits into context, during his 8 years in office, Bush added $4.9 Trillion to the national debt. If you just take the past two years in to account, Obama has already added $3.17 Trillion. If left unchecked with a hypothetical returning Democrat majority for the next 2 years, Obama’s contribution to the national debt over 4 years in office would be an estimated $6.34 Trillion and likely more.

Debt and corruption were the GOP’s undoing in 2006 and 2008. Now, the Democrats are facing 4 times the debt and double the corruption. The current Treasury Secretary is a known tax cheat. The former Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee is as well as evidenced by his 13 ethics violations and pending criminal indictment (because we all know there is an indictment in the works). Another Democrat member of Congress faces an ethics battle. Pelosi has failed to “drain the swamp” and seems to have encouraged her members to seek out ways to exploit the earmark process.

Nancy Pelosi’s most ethical and most transparent Congress in history is about to fall flat under the weight of its ethics violations and shady back-room deals. Remember what she said about the Death Care bill?

“We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.”

How about that transparency Nancy?

I won’t hold my breath waiting for her to answer.

Now Pelosi has another shell game in the works. As the school year is about to begin and the financially strapped states have less money to dole out for education, SanFran Nan and her band of miscreants are calling the House back into session in the middle of the August recess in order to pass “emergency” legislation totaling an additional $26 Billion in spending for teachers. Ask the question “why?” since nearly half of the American Robbery and Redistribution Act money is still unspent. After-all, wasn’t that supposed to fund police, firemen, and – umm, who else… that’s right – TEACHERS so they wouldn’t lose their jobs?

People this is nothing more than as cheap game of 3-card Monty. Chase the red queen but there is no queen on the table. It’s a ploy for votes and nothing more. The funds are already allocated to save teachers’ jobs if the Infestation wished to use it; but they don’t. They’d rather Pelosi do a little grand standing in order to buy some more votes and in the process increase the debt a little bit more in order to justify more tax increases in the future. You see if they use already appropriated funding to “save teaching jobs” it doesn’t make headlines. No headlines, no votes.

Before you go to vote on November 2nd remember a couple of very important items.

Obama promised that if the “stimulus” (aka the American Robbery and Redistribution Act) were passed unemployment wouldn’t go any higher than 8%. How’s that 9.5% unemployment feeling America? Or how about the estimated 17% – 24% underemployment for that matter?
Pelosi promised to drain the swamp and yet one Congressman has been sent to prison for taking bribes, and two more are under Ethics Committee investigations and expected to be expelled.
Democrats rode a wave of discontent over Republican deficits in 2006 and 2008 but the current budget deficit is 4 times higher.

And finally I want you to ask yourself a question…

Is your family better off today than you were in 2006?

OH.. before I go. I have a little misconception to clear up.

That surplus that all you Clintonian drones like to point to that Bush destroyed with his deficit spending… That was the brain child of a Republican. Rep. John Kasich of Ohio wrote the budget that created that surplus. Kasich is currently running for Governor of Ohio. And much to the dismay of Obama and Uncle Ted (Strickland), he’s leading in that race. And for the record… Uncle Ted rode that anti-GOP wave in 2006. Remember the quote at the top Uncle Ted.

Remember the “Culture of Corruption”?

August 5, 2010 Democrat Corruption, News, Opinion, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, The REAL Culture of Corruption, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House Comments Off

I’m going to ask you to remember the 2006 midterms. I understand that asking you to remember what happened in 2006 is a stretch because of our political short-term memories, but please try.

During the 2006 midterms, Nancy Pelosi coined a phrase that hurled her into the position of Speaker of the House. She promised to preside over “the most ethical Congress in history”. Now ask yourself, “has she?” The short answer is no.

During her tenure as Speaker, she has had multiple members of her caucus abuse their offices. William Jefferson, Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, and Maxine Waters, just to name a few. The bigger question should be, “if these are the ones who we know about, how many more are there that do we not know of – yet?”

Instead of “draining the swamp”, Pelosi’s tenure as Speaker seems to have flooded it with more corruption. We all have known for years that Rangel was dirty, but no one did anything about it. Everyone already knew that Barney Frank had ethics problems as well, but no one did anything about it nor do they seem to be willing to do anything at present. William “Cold Cash” Jefferson got caught on both audio and video tape taking a $100,000 bribe from what turned out to be an FBI Informant. 90% of the money was recovered by the FBI in a raid on the then Congressman’s home. This all happened BEFORE the 2006 elections and yet, he was permitted to run for re-election, be re-elected, and seated for an additional term all while Pelosi continued to point at Republicans and cry “CULTURE OF CORRUPTION”.

One other note about Jefferson before I move on…

During the flooding of New Orleans associated with Hurricane Katrina, Jefferson commandeered a National Guard truck to remove personal possessions from his home. This truck got stuck in the Congressman’s front yard and needed a second truck to remove it. The Congressman also found the need to further commandeer vital resources that would have been of better use assisting the rescue of stranded citizens when he called for a Coast Guard helicopter to remove him from a balcony at that same home because the first National Guard truck had gotten stuck. He was never questioned or charged for these flirtations with ethics violations.

I’ve read the charges against Charlie Rangel and to be honest, it’s a slam dunk. I’ve also read the charges against Maxine Waters, that too is a slam dunk. What in the world is possessing these idiots to fight the charges? They both actually believe they are above the law.

Barney Frank’s VIP loan from Countrywide isn’t the only problem that he’s had since being elected to Congress. He has twice been party to a crime and never charged. The first in 1989 -

“Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank, an acknowledged homosexual, today confirmed that his Washington apartment had been used as a callboy headquarters by a male prostitute for a year and a half until late 1987. Responding to a story in today’s Washington Times, Frank said he had hired the prostitute out of his own funds as a personal aide and fired him when he found out what was going on.”[1]

The second was in 2007 -

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was present during his partner James Ready’s marijuana arrest in 2007, according to a police report.

Ready was arrested at his home in Ogunquite, Maine and was charged with marijuana possession, cultivation, and use of drug paraphernalia. Marijuana plants were found in Ready’s backyard. Ready paid a fine for civil possession and the rest of the charges were dismissed in 2008.

The Boston Globe reports that Frank was on the front porch and told police that he never saw the plants and would not have recognized them. Frank repeated those remarks to Boston TV station FOX25, saying he would not recognize the plants because “he is not a great outdoorsman” and “would not recognize most plants.”

Congressman Frank, who is openly gay and serves as the head of the House Financial Services Committee, supports legalizing marijuana for medical use.[2]

Not only has Pelosi not “drained the swamp”, she seems to be looking the other way as the swamp becomes more flooded with corrupt Democrats. So I’m asking you to remember Pelosi’s campaign against the “culture of corruption” on November 2nd. That “culture of corruption” mantra was the cause of many Democrats being elected in 2006 at all levels of government. Now that these same politicians are up for re-election, might I suggest it is time to return them to their previous state of employment?

As for…

Jefferson – convicted and sentenced to 13 years in prison in 2009.
Waters – she’s going on trial before the ethics committee.
Rangel – he’s currently facing a trial before the ethics committee and expected to be facing multiple criminal counts as well. Rangel may be joining William Jefferson very soon.
Frank – he’s still “serving” in the House but it is looking increasingly likely that he won’t be returning for the next Congress.

UK Announces Plans To Decentralize Health Care System

July 24, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, Stupidity, The Economy, The Nanny State, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

Is The Emperor Listening?

Now that The Emperor has used a recess appointment to get his Health Care Czar, you know – the one that likes the UK’s health system, I wonder what is going through his mind as he reads that the UK is making plans to decentralize their system. According to several sources, the UK’s new Coalition government is in the process of making plans which they say will save an estimated $30 Billion a year in “efficiency savings” and reduce administrative costs by 45% by 2014. How do they plan on doing this? Decentralizing the National Health Care System and putting local General Practitioners in charge.

From the New York Times…

Practical details of the plan are still sketchy. But its aim is clear: to shift control of England’s $160 billion annual health budget from a centralized bureaucracy to doctors at the local level. Under the plan, $100 billion to $125 billion a year would be meted out to general practitioners, who would use the money to buy services from hospitals and other health care providers.

The plan would also shrink the bureaucratic apparatus, in keeping with the government’s goal to effect $30 billion in “efficiency savings” in the health budget by 2014 and to reduce administrative costs by 45 percent. Tens of thousands of jobs would be lost because layers of bureaucracy would be abolished.

Yet another example of Europe moving to the right as Obama forces America to the left.

Leftist policies Do Not Work but the Moron in Chief is so stuck in a 1960′s neo-Socialist mentality that he is incapable of making the necessary adjustments as Europe seems to be willing to make. The Euro-Socialism that American leftists wish to emulate is in decline at a time when they are finally in a position to implement the failed policies which are drawing out the global economic crisis.

The window is shifting America and we are all about to get caught as the sash comes crashing down. The way it generally works is the left demands outrageous leaps to the left which can’t get passed because the right blocks them. So they compromise and take a slight movement to the left instead. But since the beginning to this Infestation, aided by the leftist majorities in both houses of Congress, those giant leaps have been made in spite of the will of the American people. Poll after poll shows the public’s resistance to the measures put forward by this President and this Congress but they get their entire wish list anyway.

They have abandoned their gentle nudging in favor of massive shoving and so far it’s worked because nothing could be done to stop them. However, November 4th is quickly approaching and many Democrats are going to be facing forced retirement because of the neo-Socialists’ [read also: Barry Obama, SanFran Nan, Dingy Harry et. al.] aggressive agenda. The major worry for Conservative AND Independent America is what the lame-duck Congress will attempt.

On their agenda in the event of a loss of their majority is…

Full implementation of Cap and Tax
Card Check
Tax Increases under the guise of balancing a budget that has yet to be passed and couldn’t be balanced if they did pass one. And no, you won’t be exempted because you earn less than $250k a year. They want to soak everybody.

My question is now and will also be in November and December, are the Republicans willing to put up enough of an opposition to stop it. It will take Every Single Republican to reject this. In the House, it will take some Democrats who are unwilling to play the role of a petulant child.

The American people have been speaking LOUDLY and the Democrat Congress has had their hearing aids turned off. They erroneously stand by the notion that what they have done was what the people wanted. If there were ever a reason to never put Democrats in a position of power – this President and this Congress is that reason.

So to answer my initial question…

NO, he isn’t listening. He’s the Obamassiah. He knows all and sees all. His is the only vision for the future. Too bad it leads to conditions similar to those experienced by Detective Thorn in ‘Soylent Green‘ or Winston Smith in ‘1984‘.

As I keep saying…

You cannot legislate Universal Prosperity; but you can legislate Universal Poverty.
You cannot legislate Universal Health; but you can legislate Universal Sickness.
You cannot legislate Universal Happiness; but you can legislate Universal Despair.

It is my belief that the left knows and understands these three simple truths and that is why they deliberately leading this nation into a condition of Universal Poverty, Sickness, and Despair.

Rush Limbaugh: “We Need To Defeat These Bastards”

March 23, 2010 Death Care, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House Comments Off

AMEN BROTHER!

Failure to do EVERYTHING you can to defeat these “Bastards” in November is akin to supporting their agenda. Send all 219 House members who voted for this POS bill packing November 4th. Along with them, every Senator with a D next to their name.

Elected Republicans and Republican Candidates for office,

Don’t think you are getting a free pass here either. When you are sent to Washington, if you play the same game as those that were there prior to the 2006 midterms, you’re done too.

There are many calling for a third party to step up and throw both major Parties out. But most of us don’t want to go to that extreme – just yet. This is your final chance. Fall into that Washingtonian Corruption Swamp and we’ll make sure you drown in it politically come 2012. Your election in November will be on a probationary status. Don’t screw it up.

To Those Calling for a Third Party,

Doing so will only solidify the current Socialist policies. It will divide the Conservative/Libertarian vote and keep those we loath in power. Do you want that? Our goal now is to elect ConservativeRepublicans and watch them as if they were Democrats. Should they screw up, pounce on them too. This primary season those of us voting in Republican Primaries need to weed out any non-Conservative candidates for the nomination. RINO’s are just as bad as Democrats. No more John MexiCains. No more George Voinovich’s and Lindsay Graham’s. Throw them out in the Primaries and elect true Conservatives.

No one is getting a free ride in Washington anymore. The days of sending politicians off to get fat on the taxpayers’ dime are over. Every word they utter is now accessed by anyone and everyone. Every vote they cast is a reflection of their character. Every time they compromise the trust of their constituents they should be called out for that compromise and returned home with their tails between their legs never to make an attempt at running for public office again.

In Ohio, we thought that is what happened when Cleveland finally booted Dennis Kucinich out after he ran the city into default. But, you can never underestimate the stupidity created by time. We cannot have political ADHD or permit political apathy to continue. Stay just as involved as you have been over the past year and we may get our country back.

If A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words – How Much Is This One Worth?

That is about the size of it. Pelosi, Reid, and Obama are leading their Party to a massive defeat in November. And they don’t care. Advancing a ultra-left wing socialist agenda is more important to them than the power that they currently have. Obama will still have another 2 years to govern by fiat and that is his plan.

Here is a more accurate description of the ObamaCare plan…

Cartoonist – Brian Farrington

If 216 Members vote for this POS bill today, we’re getting it that way regardless.

So Much for a REPRESENTATIVE Government

March 18, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Communism, Death Care, Democrat Corruption, Fiscal Irresponsibility, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House, US Senate, United States Constitution, socialism Comments Off

The US House today released the text of their Death Care Reconciliation bill which assumes the Senates Death Care bill was passed. This is the Slaughter rule in action.

By releasing this text, SanFran Nan and her lackey Steny Hoyer are making a unilateral decision to create a law in spite of the wishes of 73% of the American people who do not want this bill to become law. Pelosi and Hoyer, with the help of Louise Slaughter, are passing legislation that an estimated 217 members of the House would vote “NO” on.

The bill they are about to deem passed cannot pass the Senate today. Add to that the fact that it won’t be voted on in the House. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that each House MUST pass the same language of a bill to comply with Article I Section 7.[1] What about each House MUST pass the same language does the Speaker and her cohorts not understand?

In a sense, their joint contempt for and perversion of the legislative process of this country is putting us on the verge of a dictatorial system where a President (in this case Emperor Obama) and a couple of minions in key positions (Pelosi and Reid) can in a sense ignore the Will of the People and do whatever they want. Why must Death Care pass? Because Obama wants it to pass. No other real reason. 85% of Americans like the health care plan they have now but Obamacare will likely put an end to that health care.

To this point, I’ve referred to Barack Obama as “The Emperor” in jest. But as of now it is no longer funny it is a very scary reality. His is assuming Imperial power with the aid of Nancy Pelosi, Steney Hoyer, and Harry Reid – The Emperor and his Legislative Jesters. He does have an interesting looking Court doesn’t he?

Assuming this thing goes forward on Sunday, expect several lawsuits to be filed on Monday challenging the Constitutionality of the procedure used to “pass” the Death Care bill. Once a federal court, any federal court, agrees to hear the case, the whole mess goes on hold. As I’ve said before, it could take YEARS for a final ruling.

To make a legitimate attempt at repeal, the Congress will need to shift power and there must be a 2/3rds majority in support of repeal to survive an Imperial veto. [Note: I did not strike out Imperial because that is in fact what it is at this point]

Relying on a 2/3rds majority for repeal in 2011 is a gamble; however if the federal court system can tie-up the bill’s enforcement until January 20, 2013, Death Care can die the death it so richly deserves. This is because after January 20, 2013, a repeal effort wouldn’t require a 2/3rds majority because Obama’s successor is going to be ready with the pen to sign the repeal of that POS Death Care bill the day he/she takes office and it never has to do any damage.

As of this writing, the votes in support of the rule are falling short of the 216 required for passage in the House. The proof will be in the pudding come Sunday afternoon and evening. If the vote does not happen before midnight, the votes do not and will not ever exist. Why else would Obama indefinitely postpone his planned trip to Asia? The ONLY reason for his not going is a lack of votes and Pelosi needs him in DC to twist arms.

Those voting “yes” against the will of their constituents will be facing the very real possibility of losing in November. If the Emperor promised these people appointments for their “yes” votes at the expense of their re-election, those appointments have the real possibility of coming before a Republican controlled Senate for “advice and consent”[2] also known as a confirmation hearing. What are the chances of an affirmative vote for confirmation of these appointments? Ask Senator Tom Coburn who informed “yes” voting Democrats today of what would happen.

The truth is, Representatives are selling their votes. The Emperor has convinced a bunch of them to “take one for the team” and in doing so doomed them to an early retirement from the House. So what has he promised them? There has to be something in it for them. What did Denny sell? Kucinich got on Air Force One on Monday at Andrews a “NO” vote and landed at Hopkins Airport a “No Comment” – translation “maybe”. Wednesday he’s a “Yes” vote in spite of his repeated announcements that he could not support a bill which did not include a “robust public option”.

Those on the far left who have been holding out for a “robust public option” are being wooed by The Emperor with language that says, “this is just the starting point”. Obama has said that single-payer is the goal but it isn’t realistic to get there overnight. You just can flip a switch and change without a trans-formative step. This is their trans-formative step. [Note: Not sure if trans-formative is an actual word but The Emperor uses it a lot] He said that Canada didn’t get to single-payer without this same trans-formative step.

Great. Look how well Canada’s system works.

My wife and I spend a tremendous amount of time at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and out in front of the main sections of the hospital known as the concourse there is a circle for traffic picking up patients. In the center of that circle there are 8 international flags representing the 8 countries from which the most international patients have come for treatment. Canada always has a flag displayed. There has never been a visit there when there hasn’t been a Canadian flag flying out in front of that hospital. NEVER. Witness by my own eyes so I do not have a citation because I am the source. I’ll let you judge the Canadian health system based solely on that fact.
