Can Liberal News Media Sustain Itself Without Commercial Advertising?

February 28, 2010 Communism, Liberal MSM Bias, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, MSM Ignorance, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, The Fiction of Global Warming, socialism Comments Off

It is well known that in the war that is cable news, Fox is destroying CNN and literally killing MSNoBodyCares. Evidence of this became overwhelmingly evident as I experienced first hand recently.

In my home the ONLY time MSNoBodyCares is EVER displayed on my television is during the Olympics. Earlier this evening, I was at my wife’s parents’ home and they were watching a couple of apolitical programs on MSNoBodyCares. After a while something began to occur to me. All of the commercials were promos for their own losing leftist political shows. Not one of the ads were for a commercial product or service. As-a-matter-of-fact, some of the promos were running back to back for the same show. How lame can they be?

There were ads for Rachel Mad-cow, Mr. Ed, Keith Olberdouce, and Chris “Thrill Up My Leg” Matthews; but not one single ad for potato chips, diapers, feminine hygiene products, soap, beer, or any other commercial product. How long can a “news” organization survive without commercial advertising? Just ask Error Amerika – the former home of Rachel Mad-cow incidentally. Error Amerika went bankrupt and recently ceased operations because ~~liberal~~ progressive political commentary cannot sell advertising because it cannot draw an audience.

~~Liberalism~~ Progressivism DOES – NOT – SELL. As a political ideology Progressivism is diametrically opposed to business. Progressivism is Marxism Lite. Where Marxism achieves its Communist goal through revolution – most often times violent revolution – Progressivism achieves the same goal through evolution. Evidence – the 20th Century.

During the 20th Century, the United States evolved from a nation of rugged individualism into a nation on the brink of a pseudo-socialist dependency society which is only progressing at an increasingly rapid pace under the current Presidential Infestation with a massive Progressive Democrat majority in both houses of Congress.

MSNoBodyCares – and the whole NBC family in general – has positioned itself to become a de facto propaganda wing of the Obama Infestation. According to their ultra leftist political commentators, the Emperor can do no wrong while anything Republican/Conservative/Libertarian is by definition racist, obstructionist and standing in the way of progress. MSNoBodyCares is populated by on-air talking heads that do not reflect the ethnic diversity of the United States in any way. Mad-cow is Caucasian as is Olberdouce, Matthews, Schultz, and every other political anchor in their lineup. But yet they have the audacity to say the TEA Party movement is made up of sheet wearing racists? Remember what they say about people who live in glass houses…

ABC News has announced that they are cutting their staff significantly. How long do you believe MSNoBodyCares can afford to staff their “news” network if they continue to air programs without commercial sponsorship? General Electric is already attempting to unload the white elephant known as NBC. Could it be that GE’s embracing of ~~liberal~~ progressive politics is beginning to affect the bottom line?

GE and NBC dove head first into the man-made global warming agenda and now perhaps they are rethinking that whole boondoggle. But they cannot out-rightly admit that they were wrong. Oh no – can’t have that! Heads must first roll, management must change, a new owner will be found who will lull the apathetic public into believing that it never happened. And the whole idea that NBC was behind the global push to indoctrinate will be conveniently forgotten. But as of right now, they have no advertising. At least for their cable “news” channel. And without a revenue stream it is only a matter of time before GE decides to dump the left wing cable news channel. Or at least consider a realignment.

Obama’s Promise to Make Pigs Fly

January 30, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Fiscal Irresponsibility, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Distortions, Stupidity, Taxes, The Economy, socialism Comments Off

This week, the President and his Infestation began to speak of a ~~second stimulus~~ “jobs bill”. They’ve been instructed to not use the word stimulus but to use “jobs bill” instead according to an Infestation official in a television interview. If you are thinking, “yeah, it’s about time the Infestation addresses the space station level unemployment/under-employment numbers,” perhaps you need to take a few minutes and think about where the government gets all this money they are doling out.

First and foremost, the government doesn’t have any money. To insist that the government is using government money to fund something is ignorant to that fact. The government gets the money it wastes from “We The People” through the over-taxation of the employed. Government doesn’t create anything or provide a marketable skill for which it is compensated. Government is nothing more than a clearing house for pilfered money.

If you then think about the efficiency with with the federal government operates you must come to the conclusion that the feds manage money like a crack addict. For example – welfare programs. The government does not spend 100% of every dollar designated for helping the poor on the poor. It only spends about $.70 on the dollar. The other $.30 pays for the bureaucracy the government has in place to “redistribute” the nation’s wealth. Seeings how the government can only achieve D worthy work in this area, does it make sense to give them more money to waste? I mean a 70% success rate any student will tell you is almost failing.

As more and more people are forced onto the government dole due to the mismanagement of the economy by the President, his Infestation, and the pinheads in the majority in both houses of Congress, that system of “redistributing” what’s left of the nation’s wealth will only get less efficient. But then again, that is what Obama learned from his study of Cloward-Piven.

Remember their strategy was to overwhelm the system in order to create a crisis for which the only answer would be to implement draconian solutions such as socialism. That is why it is called the Cloward-Piven Strategy for Socialist Revolution. And Obama studied it.

His calls for a ~~second stimulus~~ “jobs bill” are just another phase in his plan to “fundamentally transform America”. He’s going to “transform” us from a nation of free peoples seeking for our own niche in society from which we can prosper into a society enslaved by an ever present, all knowing, all seeing, and all intrusive government which tells us what we will do as an occupation and how much wealth we can accumulate. Something tells me that Obama was cheering for “Big Brother” in George Orwell’s ‘1984′.

He boldly touts the “success” of his first stimulus package citing a phantom 2 million “created or saved” jobs. But where were they? Who knows? The Infestation sure doesn’t. Their own website recovery.gov lists allegedly “created or saved” jobs in Congressional districts that do not exist in zip codes that don’t exist either. If there is no such location, how then can there be a job “created or saved” there?

When Obama pushed for his stimulus package, he promised that without it unemployment “may go as high as 8%”. Here we are sitting at 10% unemployment (with many states way above 10%) after his stimulus package passed. If the President was right when he warned us it would go to 8% without his stimulus, had Congress not acted would unemployment have gotten this high? Many believe not. Many believe (and count me among them) that the President’s stimulus program made economic conditions worse.

And while we are talking about these lofty unemployment numbers, let us not lose sight of the fact that the number of unemployed/under-employed in this country is in excess of 17%. That’s 17% of our nation’s population either not working or working for a wage that is insufficient to pay the monthly bills. That is a crime.

Quoting Lewis Carroll –

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”

The truth of the matter is that for all the President’s talk about rescuing this nation’s economy nothing could be further from his mind. He is not interested in rescuing this economy as-a-matter-of-fact he intends on damaging it further in his effort to bring about the dream of Cloward and Piven. Like the oysters in Lewis Carroll’s poem, America is being led to the feast.

“A loaf of bread,” the Walrus said,
“Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed–
Now if you’re ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed.”

“But not on us!” the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
“After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!”
“The night is fine,” the Walrus said.
“Do you admire the view?

“It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!”
The Carpenter said nothing but
“Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf–
I’ve had to ask you twice!”

“It seems a shame,” the Walrus said,
“To play them such a trick,
After we’ve brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!”
The Carpenter said nothing but
“The butter’s spread too thick!”

“I weep for you,” the Walrus said:
“I deeply sympathize.”
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

“O Oysters,” said the Carpenter,
“You’ve had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?’
But answer came there none–
And this was scarcely odd, because
They’d eaten every one. [1]

And we, my fellow peasants of the United Socialist States of Amerika, are the main course. That is once Obama achieves his goals.

If you believe that Obama is going to rescue this economy then be prepared for a shock. Because that promise my friend stinks of pigs aloft.

Before I close I’ll remind you of a very simple truth that I’ve written many many times before…

You cannot legislate universal health, but you can legislate universal sickness;
You cannot legislate universal prosperity; but you can legislate universal poverty;
You cannot legislate universal happiness; but you can legislate universal dispair.

And Obama is attempting to legislate all the above.

Economic Recovery Or Economic Ruin? What Is He Up To?

January 22, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Communism, Death Care, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Health Care, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Presidential Politics, Taxes, The Economy, The Nanny State, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism View Comments

A few days ago I mentioned a plan for the economy laid out in the 1960’s which is finally coming to fruition now. It is called the Cloward-Piven Strategy for Socialist Revolution. In order to truly understand Barack Obama, you must first fully understand his influences.

Obama studied the Cloward-Piven Strategy and fully believes in it. He also studied, and even taught, Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals which he also fully believes in. Obama is the marriage of both the Cloward-Piven Strategy and Saul Alinsky’s Rules. Everything that he has attempted to do since January 20, 2009 is in fully accordance with both.

But what are they? Good question.

From DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue a black man suspected of drunk driving), Cloward and Piven published an article titled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty” in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation. Following its publication, The Nation sold an unprecedented 30,000 reprints. Activists were abuzz over the so-called “crisis strategy” or “Cloward-Piven Strategy,” as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.

In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when “the rest of society is afraid of them,” Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would “the rest of society” accept their demands.

The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven’s early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. “Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules,” Alinsky wrote in his 1972 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system’s failure to “live up” to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist “rule book” with a socialist one.

The authors noted that the number of Americans subsisting on welfare — about 8 million, at the time — probably represented less than half the number who were technically eligible for full benefits. They proposed a “massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls.” Cloward and Piven calculated that persuading even a fraction of potential welfare recipients to demand their entitlements would bankrupt the system. The result, they predicted, would be “a profound financial and political crisis” that would unleash “powerful forces … for major economic reform at the national level.”

Their article called for “cadres of aggressive organizers” to use “demonstrations to create a climate of militancy.” Intimidated by threats of black violence, politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of “a federal program of income redistribution,” in the form of a guaranteed living income for all — working and non-working people alike. Local officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would apply pressure on Washington to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act.

This was an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse movements — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. The flood of demands was calculated to break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.

Ask yourself, “what is happening right now? What if any of this is the Emperor attempting to do?” The truth is, all of it.

I want you to think back all the way to January 20, 2009. I know that is a stretch for some of you. Especially those linking here from DRONE sites. But try.

The national debt on the day that Barry took over was sitting at $10.6 Trillion. A shocking sum to say the least. However, now take a look at the national debt today. In just one year, Barack Obama, with the help of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, raised the national debt from $10.6 Trillion to $12.3 Trillion. To put this into context, when George W. Bush took office on January 20, 2001 the national debt was at $5.7 Trillion. Over 8 years in office the national debt increased $4.9 Trillion. In case you are keeping score that is an average of $600 Billion per year.

Barack Obama has raised the national debt $1.7 Trillion in just one year. The Senate is looking to raise the debt ceiling another $1.9 Trillion which the White House is projecting will last the government until June 2011. If that actually lasts out the year they’ll be lucky.

At the rate that Barry and this Congress is spending money, by the time Obama leaves office, if left unchecked, the national debt will be $17.8 Trillion in just 4 years. Bush added $4.9 Trillion over 8 years. Obama is projected to add $7.2 Trillion in half that time.

So what is he spending money on? Political payoffs and expanding the welfare class.

His agenda is destroying the ability for the private sector to conduct business. It is leading to massive unemployment levels which chases many from the middle class onto the government dole. Seems that he is attempting to collapse the economic system a la Cloward-Piven through expansion of the Nanny State.

Every time he proposes something to bring about economic recovery, he is actually proposing measures that would have the opposite effect. Ask yourself, what sense does it make to raise taxes during a recession? The short answer is – it doesn’t. But he is hell bent on allowing the Bush tax cuts which have kept this country from plummeting into a full blow depression to expire. In that one non-action, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid will be eliminating the 10% tax bracket effectively giving those at the bottom of the income ladder a 50% increase in their taxes. If he is willing to do that to the lowest of income earners, what then is he willing to do to those above the current 10% bracket?

From top to bottom, allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire will have dire consequences for this country economically. Why? Cloward-Piven.

Saul Alinsky said the ends justify the means. If his means are this dastardly, what then are the ends toward which he is directing his means? Full blown Socialism.

“Economic recovery or economic ruin? What is he up to?” Economic ruin. No doubt about it.

Putting Tuesday Into Context – GOP Are You Listening?

January 21, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Death Care, Elections, Fiscal Responsibility, GOP/RNC, Health Care, News, Opinion, The Economy, US Senate Comments Off

Scott Brown’s victory is not only historic in that a Republican was elected to an office from a State that hasn’t been won by a Republican since 1973. It is even more historic on HOW he did it. The Republican Party as a whole needs to take a careful look at HOW Brown won. Duplicating the Brown campaign is essential to complete victory in November 2010.

Scott Brown ran on a platform of the Tea Party movement. Plain and simple. He ran an issues based campaign refraining from personal attacks. Is it permissible for a candidate to attack their opponent on an issue? Of course. But leave families out.

Massachusetts voters rejected the personal attacks of the Coakley campaign and the Emperor’s attacks on his pickup truck. Massachusetts voters recognize that the out of control spending of Washington is the problem. Massachusetts voters recognize that the Emperor’s Death Care bill would balloon the federal budget even more than he and his minions in Congress were able to do with the Porkulus, Omnibus, and Cash-for-Clunkers. Massachusetts voters recognize that the federal budget deficit and out of control national debt and unfunded liabilities are a problem that the people of this nation can no longer live with. So they did now what the nation is preparing to do in November. And thank Almighty GOD they did.

The Tea Parties opposition is rooted in this Infestation’s fiscal irresponsibility. Should Republicans return to the same fiscal irresponsible ways of the Bush era, they too will be targets of public angst.

We’ve had a taste of the Progressive Movement and we (collectively) do not like it.

The Obama Infestation clearified the differences between Conservatives and liberals (Progressives). If the GOP runs all of its races on Conservative Principles (Tea Party Principles), the GOP will win. That is the lesson of the Brown victory. Should the GOP deviate from the Brown plan – failure is inevitable and we will slip further toward Progressive Socialism.

The people of this nation want true economic recovery and that does not mean additional federal spending that only truly translates into political payoffs. The people of this nation understand that true economic recovery can only happen when the government gets out of the way and allow the economy to recover on its own. More taxes cannot accomplish this. The economy is more important to the People than universal health care but the leftists do not understand this truth.

I have said many times…

You cannot legislate universal health, but you can legislate universal sickness.
You cannot legislate universal prosperity, but you can legislate universal poverty.
You cannot legislate universal happiness, but you can legislate universal despair.

The Obama Infestation and Pelosi/Reid Politburo are attempting to legislate universal sickness, universal poverty, and universal despair a la the Cloward-Piven Strategy for Socialist Revolution. And you all now know this.

As for the calls for Brown to consider a 2012 Presidential run? SHUT UP!

We are now suffering under a President who, once elected to the US Senate, shifted his focus to a Presidential run. What has that gotten us?

Emperor Barry ran for President and won only because no one knew who the hell he was. If we knew then what we know now, I doubt he would have even gained his Party’s nomination.

Brown has yet to speak on the floor of the Senate. He hasn’t even cast a vote yet. For the love of Pete, he hasn’t even been sworn in. Can we please refrain from pushing the man into something that he may not wish on his worst enemy?

Let him concentrate on doing the things that he has promised to achieve in the Senate.

Unemployment Down But Is That Good News or No News?

December 17, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Health Care, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, Stupidity, Taxes, The Economy, U.S. House, US Senate Comments Off

I’ve been meaning to comment on November’s unemployment numbers since their release but have been pulled in several other directions and my blogging efforts are the casualty. That said, here are my thoughts on the massive recovery in the job sector…

First off, and this may be news to all the pinheads who believe the Infestation’s estimations of the nation’s unemployed, a .2% drop in new jobless claims in November does not a recovery make. Let’s first take a look at what month we are talking about – November. What happens in November Class? Anybody? Short answer – seasonal hiring.

That’s right campers, that miraculous .2% tumble in new jobless claims can in all likelihood be attributed to seasonal hiring in the retail sector. Come January, I see a massive jump in new jobless claims as those who are currently taking part-time retail work to put presents under the tree for their kids suddenly find themselves again looking for work.

Next, let us not forget that the numbers used to gauge the nation’s unemployed are NEW Jobless Claims as filed in the various states. It does not count those who are already in the system. It also does not count those who take part-time (or seasonal) work or other menial jobs for less pay than that which they were receiving in their former positions. This is called – mark this down libtards, it is a word that you have obviously never heard of – underemployed. The underemployment rate in this country is estimated to be between 17 and 18 percent. A disastrous number if the average American Lemming were to ever take the time to understand.

Since the beginning of this recession an estimated 7 million jobs have been lost. Approximately 4 million of those jobs have been lost since Emperor Barry took command. Unemployment has more than doubled under his watch as the federal budget deficit has tripled. The government is spending like crazy and making fictitious claims of “saving” jobs. Now the Turd-in-Chief wants to spend nearly $200 Billion more under the guise of creating jobs?!? It is time someone cut up Mr. Obama’s National Debt Credit Card.

There is one major reason why employers are not hiring right now and it is a concept that libtards cannot understand if you presented them with full color animated illustrations. Uncertainty.

With a certainty of a massive tax increase as the Bush tax cuts sunset combined with the uncertainty over health care reform, the lack of credit being extended to small and medium sized businesses, and a daily barrage of legislative proposals designed to crater the market economy of the United States, employers are apprehensive about hiring anyone at this point.

The word tax means to impede. Taxes are an impediment to the private sector. As tax rates increase, the number of jobs decrease. As jobs evaporate, government revenues evaporate as well. The liberal answer to lower government revenue is to raise tax rates which in turn eliminates additional jobs.

It is a mistake to believe that doubling down on the mistakes which create an atmosphere in which fewer people support the masses will improve the situation. As fewer and fewer people are contributing to the government through taxes on income, the less able the government is going to be to support the dependency state which they have created for the rest of the population.

Try as they may to shift the blame for the current economic conditions in this country to the Bush Administration, this President and his Administration are responsible for this economy. The President said that if Congress did not pass his $787 billion Porkulus package unemployment would rise over 8%. They passed it, he signed it, and unemployment hit a 26 year high of 10.2% anyway. Obama owns this recession so do not let them get away with their attempts to pawn off their responsibility. Remember, the worse the unemployment rate got under the Bush Administration was 6.5% (in 2008).

The 10% unemployment numbers for November are still extremely bad. Don’t be fooled into thinking this Infestation has finally gotten their collective heads out of their proverbial backsides because new jobless claims dropped an anemic .2%.

.2% of 7 million unemployed is a relatively insignificant number.

Newsweek: ‘Recession Over’ as GDP Sits at -1%

In the lead up to the 2008 elections, the extremely left leaning media of this country were trying to convince you that the nation was in recession when key indicators suggested economic growth not recession. They created the current recession by convincing you it existed when it didn’t. Now, one of the leftarded media outlets is trying to convince you that the recession that they helped create is over when the key economic indicator of the existence of a recession shows evidence that it the recession is continuing..

From CNN:

But according to all of the economic indicators, Newsweek is a bit premature in that announcement. This includes the most important indicator – the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

A recession is defined as 2 or more consecutive quarters of negative GDP. The main stream media all were announcing that the United States was in recession when the nation still had positive GDP numbers. And now, Newsweek in their infinite stupidity is announcing the end of said recession unilaterally with no evidence to back it up. But what the hell, evidence doesn’t mean a fucking thing to these assholes.

CNN is reporting, ‘Obama mocks Newsweek cover, Newsweek hits back‘.

“I don’t know whether you’ve seen the cover of the latest Newsweek magazine on the rack at the grocery store, but the cover says: ‘The Recession is Over,’” the president said as part of his prepared remarks at the event.

“I imagine you might have found that news a little startling,” Obama continued. “I know I did.”

Obama went on to say while certain indicators are improving, like the stock market and home sales, “That’s little comfort if you are one of the folks who have lost their job.”

For the first time in his short Presidency, Barack Obama is correct. It is little comfort for the couple of million people who have lost their jobs since the Man with the Middle Name Hussein took over. He has been consistently wrong in every prediction that he has made from the campaign on.

He warned us that if we didn’t pass his economic stimulus package that unemployment would climb to 8.5%. With the national unemployment numbers flirting with 10% and the jobless rate in the Democratic People’s Republic of Michigan tipping the scales at a whopping 15%, somehow I believe the douchebag from Chicago got that one wrong.

He said that his stimulus package would create jobs. Wrong again. Green jobs – wrong. The only evidence that I personally have been able to find that any of his stimulus claims are being implemented is a sign on I-75 southbound into Dayton, Ohio that claims that a project begun 8 years ago, the I-70/I-75 Interchange, and near completion is part of the Obama Porkulus package. I’m sorry, but I’m sure funding for that piece of road work was secured before ground was broken. The same can be said for the other I-75 project. Ground was broken on that in early 2008. So somehow I doubt Porkulus funding got those projects off the ground or created any jobs there since they were both going before Obamaramadingdong secured his Party’s nomination.

Barry followed up his extremely expensive political payoff package with another aimed at cutting greenhouse emissions when in fact, it does nothing of the sort. It is another tax package dreamed up by the President and put into a bill by SanFranNan, both of whom have never seen a tax proposal they haven’t absolutely been in lust with. The House Cap and Trade bill doesn’t curb the emissions of greenhouse gasses. It only taxes them. Somehow they have the idea that raising taxes on businesses in this country will somehow create jobs. I’ve never heard anything more ignorant in my life. But they truly believe this tripe.

Now Barry, Nan, and Harry Reid (the human sleeping pill) have another brilliant idea. Let’s place greater mandates on the health care industry by forcing Doctors out of the profession through regulation and lower compensation for government funded options. Let’s place a mandate on the American people to get private coverage before this bill becomes law or be forced onto a government run health care system that will create waiting lists, rationing of care, and the end of privacy. Let’s remove the patient and the doctor from the decision making process and put an empathy free board of bureaucrats in charge of making health care decisions for people they’ve never met. And while we are at it, how about ending care for seniors and fund as many abortions as we can to reduce the population.

What’s next for this turd? Soylent Green?!?

So no Newsweek, the recession that you helped create by instilling fear into the minds of many non-thinking lemmings out there who wrongly believe that you are an independent news service is not over. It is alive and well and about to receive a huge shot in the arm if the House and Senate pass Obama’s health care scheme.

Of cabbages–and kings–

July 26, 2009 Opinion Comments Off

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”

from ‘The Walrus and The Carpenter’ – Lewis Carroll

This quotation from ‘The Walrus and The Carpenter’ is often quoted in relation to the truth. A truth that someone may not want to hear and another may not really want to divulge.

After a couple of weeks of self-doubt and questioning brought on by those on the left whose goal it is to silence those who seek out and discuss the truth regarding the agenda of the left, I have spent the day devouring the writings of others like me who doubt that the current administration has anything but contempt for us – the lowly governed class. What I can’t understand is the insistence of these same reprehensible people that they are thinking human beings when they do nothing but parrot the Democrat Party elitists and attack anyone who dare challenge the words of the President, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. It seems to me that they are nothing but the lowly foot-soldiers – the stormtroopers as it were – of the same elitists they parrot.

Leaving the unfortunates to themselves is something that I’ve promised myself, my family, friends, and readers. In that light, I will only reference them from this point forward as DRONES (in all caps) because of their non-thinking nature and blind obedience to an ideology which has failed each and every time it has ever been attempted.

As Einstein said…

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

So I’m done with going toe to toe with the insane and have come to the decision that they, like most people, only ridicule that which they are incapable of understanding. In this case, logic and truth.

Programming note out of the way – on with the show…

As I stated above, I spent today devouring anything written by friends, colleagues, and those I admire for their insight and wit. Of all the articles that I’ve read today, Austin Hill’s Townhall.com contribution stuck out the most. Austin asks a question -

Why Aren’t Americans Obeying Obama?

As Austin rightly points out in his article, Americans are not subjects of some great sovereign. We are the government who then entrusts its management to a select group of people elected to terms of specific length. In the current case, the electorate wrongly or rightly selected Barack Obama to manage the people’s government on November 4, 2008. In the roughly 6 months since his taking power, the nation has slipped further into the abyss of the current global economic crisis. Each time one of his programs is implemented, we slide a little further. What does this say of the man who got himself elected solely based upon his communications skills. Skills which have been proven to only exist if his speech writer has the opportunity to prepare his words in advance and deliver them via teleprompter. Anyone with a high school education can sound politically eloquent when all of their words are fed to them via electronic device.

Special note: President George W. Bush was derided by many in this nation for his inability to communicate. I on the other hand would prefer to have a Commander-in-Chief who understood the word nuclear even if he couldn’t say it than the current pinhead who thinks that if he says the United States is going to disarm, those words would be enough to short circuit the third world’s ambitions to join the nuclear club.

And speaking of Bush, some of his best speeches, the ones where he really spoke to the people, were the speeches where he didn’t have any prepared texts. Obama, on the other hand, cannot say the same.

Austin Hill points out in his article today Obama’s need of control –

President Barack Obama has demonstrated an unquenchable need to control the lives of private citizens, and the workings of private sector society, and his indignation is aimed at those who would question this. Two American car companies, multiple banks and financial institutions, the rates of salaries paid to business executives, the entire American medical profession and health care industry, even content on the internet – - Obama will control it all. He knows best in all circumstances, and our role is to simply comply.

And our duty – for the good of the country mind you – is to obey. To let him have his way and obey.

This brought up an interesting thought as I read Austin’s article. We’ve all joked, “When I’m elected dictator…” But in this case, Obama has been. Or at least in his mind he has.

His is to edict and ours is to obey after-all he only has 4 years to destroy what’s left of the old America.

So to Lewis Carroll I say – yes pigs do have wings. America is now a socialist nation and we have a leader who is attempting to establish himself as a person of nobility if not divinity. Only problem, our new king smells like cabbage does when heat is applied.

Obama is Drunk With Power & Refuses to Accept TARP Repayments

Being the devout Socialist that he is, control of the nation’s banking system is key to Obamaramadingdong’s plan of Socialist reform. Many banks were not in trouble when the emergency bailout was passed last fall BUT were REQUIRED to accept money from the federal government for assumed bad assets. The federal government inserted itself into our banking system and now refuses to be bought out.

From the Wall Street Journal - Stuart Varney:

I must be naive. I really thought the administration would welcome the return of bank bailout money. Some $340 million in TARP cash flowed back this week from four small banks in Louisiana, New York, Indiana and California. This isn’t much when we routinely talk in trillions, but clearly that money has not been wasted or otherwise sunk down Wall Street’s black hole. So why no cheering as the cash comes back?

My answer: The government wants to control the banks, just as it now controls GM and Chrysler, and will surely control the health industry in the not-too-distant future. Keeping them TARP-stuffed is the key to control. And for this intensely political president, mere influence is not enough. The White House wants to tell ‘em what to do. Control. Direct. Command.

It is not for nothing that rage has been turned on those wicked financiers. The banks are at the core of the administration’s thrust: By managing the money, government can steer the whole economy even more firmly down the left fork in the road.

If the banks are forced to keep TARP cash — which was often forced on them in the first place — the Obama team can work its will on the financial system to unprecedented degree. That’s what’s happening right now.

Here’s a true story first reported by my Fox News colleague Andrew Napolitano (with the names and some details obscured to prevent retaliation). Under the Bush team a prominent and profitable bank, under threat of a damaging public audit, was forced to accept less than $1 billion of TARP money. The government insisted on buying a new class of preferred stock which gave it a tiny, minority position. The money flowed to the bank. Arguably, back then, the Bush administration was acting for purely economic reasons. It wanted to recapitalize the banks to halt a financial panic.

Fast forward to today, and that same bank is begging to give the money back. The chairman offers to write a check, now, with interest. He’s been sitting on the cash for months and has felt the dead hand of government threatening to run his business and dictate pay scales. He sees the writing on the wall and he wants out. But the Obama team says no, since unlike the smaller banks that gave their TARP money back, this bank is far more prominent. The bank has also been threatened with “adverse” consequences if its chairman persists. That’s politics talking, not economics.

Think about it: If Rick Wagoner can be fired and compact cars can be mandated, why can’t a bank with a vault full of TARP money be told where to lend? And since politics drives this administration, why can’t special loans and terms be offered to favored constituents, favored industries, or even favored regions? Our prosperity has never been based on the political allocation of credit — until now.

Which brings me to the Pay for Performance Act, just passed by the House. This is an outstanding example of class warfare. I’m an Englishman. We invented class warfare, and I know it when I see it. This legislation allows the administration to dictate pay for anyone working in any company that takes a dime of TARP money. This is a whip with which to thrash the unpopular bankers, a tool to advance the Obama administration’s goal of controlling the financial system.

After 35 years in America, I never thought I would see this. I still can’t quite believe we will sit by as this crisis is used to hand control of our economy over to government. But here we are, on the brink. Clearly, I have been naive.

Mr. Varney is a host on the Fox Business Channel.

First – the feds required banks to accept this money whether they wanted it or not. Then – Obamaramadingdong refuses repayment of the money so that he can maintain control of the financial system of this nation. Can we say DANGEROUS TERRITORY?!?

To all those who discounted the claims made by those of us who actually looked into his background that his intentions were to destroy what we all know as the United States of America had better wake the hell up; because it is happening right under your noses. You people who voted for this turd just because you bought into the Democrat race warfare/class warfare BS, you people should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing this to happen.

Socialism has FAILED each and every time it has been tried. As a matter of fact, Obama’s excursions toward Socialism is NOT the first time it’s happened on these shores. The Pilgrims first tried a communal form of governing and nearly starved to death. They quickly found when each were rewarded equally instead of each being rewarded according to his efforts, that those who had a propensity for sandbagging the community did so. Soon, it was proven that society cannot survive if effort is not rewarded. Complacency breeds mediocrity and sloth.

Control of the financial sector is key to Socializing America. Unfortunately until the current majority is ousted, there is little that can be done to short circuit this journey into the abyss of Obamaism. First there was Marxism. Then Lenninism followed by Stalinism, Maosim, and Castroism. Welcome citizens of the United States to Obamaism and the United Socialist States of Amerika.

RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s Rebuttle to Obamaramadingdong’s State of the Economy

February 24, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, GOP/RNC, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, RINOS, Stupidity, The Economy, The GOP's Leftward Turn, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

WASHINGTON– Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement tonight:

“Watching President Obama address our nation–and feeling the pride that is in every American’s heart–it’s worth pausing to celebrate our nation’s achievements. Yet even as we mark this historic event, we recognize the deep problems that continue to face our nation. Republicans are eager to work with President Obama on the challenges he discussed, especially restoring fiscal responsibility and growing our economy.

“After last year’s State of the Union, then-candidate Barack Obama asked the nation to imagine a time when a President’s agenda would draw standing ovations from both sides of the aisle. That sort of bipartisanship is an admirable goal–and one that unfortunately continues to elude Washington. The Democratic leadership in Congress must be willing to work with Republicans to stop out-of-control spending, promote the creation of jobs, and to keep our troops properly funded.

“Now would be a good time for this young Administration to ask the Democrat leaders in Congress to actually consider working in a bipartisan way to solve the real problems Americans are facing.

“I am more confident than ever that the American people will stand up for the principles our nation was founded on and will hold their representatives accountable to overcome the challenges that this nation faces.” emphasis mine

Unfortunately I do not share Chairman Steele’s optimism when speaking of bipartisanship when it comes to Reid, Pelosi, and especially Obamaramadingdong. I applaud his work in implementing his stated goals within the GOP BUT any hope of compromise and working together with the Obama Infestation is a pipe dream.

Bipartisanship is unattainable in the current political climate in Washington. With the Democrats heavily indebted to the extreme left and the GOP in rebuilding mode, I don’t see any wiggle room especially when bipartisanship to Democrats means Republican capitulation.

Those who voted against The Democrat Lard Act of 2009 need to keep that unity. Along with that the RNC led by Steele, the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the rank-in-file need to put pressure on Snowe, Collins, and Specter to bring them into line BEFORE any more additional harm is done to this nation.

Obama to Address the Nation AGAIN Tonight

February 24, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Democrat Corruption, Democrat In-Fighting, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, Stupidity, The Economy Comments Off

Two weeks ago the Obamaramadingdong felt the need to go on national television during prime time and beg the American people to support passage of a bill written by the majority – his “stimulus package” that I affectionately call “The Democrat Lard Act of 2009.” Tonight he finds the need to address the people once again to give his version of the “state of the economy” – yawn.

Here’s the long and short of what you will hear.

The economy sucks. Bush is responsible. We have to raise taxes and spend money like drunken sailors. He inherited the problem and he has a plan to fix it.

What you won’t hear but should…

POTUS B. Obama: “I have no freaken clue what to do about the economy.”

Because that is the real truth.

I find it incredibly interesting that he is having an increased amount of Presidential Addresses. Why? I’m not certain mind you but I do have a theory. I believe he’s in love with his own voice.

The truth be told, Mr. Obamaramadingdong is only good at making speeches.

“Just Words… Just Speeches…”

Actually governing he’s a bit of a dolt. One thing I can say positive about the turd… He knows politics.

He snagged Clinton for Sec of State to isolate her from competition in 2012.
He delegated the task of crafting his stimulus to Reid and Pelosi so when it fails he can shift the blame to them.

Politicking is different from governing. He is now finding out the difference.

Thanks Mr. Obamaramadingdong for having this address on a Tuesday. There isn’t anything viable on television anyway. We are planning on watching a video when the Turd-in-Chief begins to speak. Lord only knows when that will be. He’s notoriously late for everything.
