The Face of Nothing

The Democrats in the Senate. The party of no. The party of arrogance. The party of politics only. While House Speaker Boehner is working feverishly to pass a bill through the House of Representatives, Harry Reid and his comrades in the Senate are doing nothing. Even worse, they have informed Speaker Boehner that if he is successful in getting a bill through the House to save the country from financial disaster, Harry and his fellow Democrats will do everything to kill the House's bill. Even the President supports Harry Reid's obstructionism to progress on the debt limit crisis. And this is while the President, nor the Democrats in the Senate have offered anything - no plan, no proposals, just the old Democrat party line of Tax the Rich and Blame Bush. Democrats are masters of criticizing others, but total failures in finding real solutions.

That’s not leadership - that’s just politics on the part of the Democrats in Washington DC. It’s time for Harry and his comrades to step up and be Americans first and politicians second.

Poor Jane

Even though the political urinary competition over the debt limit dominates the current news cycle, a second page story about Jane Fonda deserves a little attention. I read that Jane Fonda is saying she has been “banished” from QVC, where she was scheduled to promote her latest book on aging, Prime Time. She said the reason for her banishment was due to her political past as an activist against the Vietnam War. QVC stated no reason for her cancellation and added that they frequently make programming changes that result in short notice to scheduled guests. Jane claims otherwise - she says QVC told her there were a lot of calls to QVC from viewers who threatened to boycott the show if she appeared. Well, QVC could have received lots of calls, but I doubt is was because of her speaking out against the Vietnam war - many people in the 60s and 70s spoke out against the war. But very few used their celebrity to travel to North Vietnam in 1972 and commit what some would call treasonous acts against the United States. I guess this privileged limousine liberal is now a little annoyed her past is haunting her and has caused her to suffer the inconvenience of losing the QVC gig. Sorry Jane. I imagine the numerous POWs that were being tortured in North Vietnam prison camps while you partied with the communists back in 72 should be upset too. Time heals all wounds and all transgressions are forgotten - Right? But maybe not. After all, there are people who have been convicted of treason against the United States and will spend their lives in prison. Jane Fonda returned to the United States from her 1972 North Vietnam trip to make millions in film, exercise videos, and celebrity appearances. So now there's no QVC for you Jane - life is so unfair.

Rich People have all of the Money!!!

Oh those evil rich people. They, and only they, with their corporate jets, their country club memberships and multi million dollar homes, are responsible for everything wrong in your life. They are responsible for the over 9 percent unemployment. They are responsible for the economic downturn. They are responsible for the crushing national debt. And yes, they are responsible for the high price of gasoline. If only we could only punish them by taxing them to death, all of our problems would be solved.

Don’t believe me? Well, just listen to the President of the United States - he’ll tell you it’s so. He’s prepared to blame anyone or anything other then his prosperity killing policies for our country’s woes. He has to attack rich people as the “blame Bush” excuse has gotten a little old. So let me translate Mr. Obama’s strategy. He’s using class warfare to advance is Socialist agenda - and it works like this. Address a bunch of middle class Americans who would like to be better off financially, and tell them their plot in life is not their fault - that evil rich people are keeping them from advancing up the economic ladder -- and they have only one hope, and it is he, the working man’s savior. So if you are willing to pray at the alter of the Obama-God, he will save you. Just support him, and he will give you the rich man’s money.

Well, I’m not an economic genius, but I know enough that an economic policy built on the redistribution of wealth is called Socialism. So we should all be prepared for the Democratic campaign this coming presidential election - as it will be built on a platform of class warfare. Instead of uniting America, the Democrats plan is to turn Americans against one another so we don’t notice the damage Obama and his cronies have done to our country.

Socialism Fails - Every Time

Does Socialism work? Well, look at this picture of the happy people in Greece, where Socialism has been providing their people with everything - like early retirement at age 55, free medical care, and where over one third of the population works for the government. All of that sounds great, until the inevitable happens - which is that the government starts running massive debts and eventually runs out of money - forcing the government to make very undesirable cuts in government benefits while asking for handouts from other countries. And this just pisses people off - the people in the socialist country who have their free ride taken away and the people from the country providing bail out money as they see their taxes going to a bad investment.

Sound all too familiar? Look at the debate in Congress over raising the debt ceiling. Look how much the Obama administration has run up the national debt. Look how much we owe the Chinese. And now our government is forced to cut benefits, which we all will pay for either by picking up expenses formally paid for by the government or through higher taxes - or both.

No matter what happens, it will be painful for the average income American, who will be effected the most. Socialism fails - every time. So take a good look at Greece, because if we have four more years of Obama, Greece is our future.

Do We Ever Learn?

That’s the late Representative Charlie Wilson of Texas. For some who do not know his story, in the 1980s, Representative Wilson was instrumental in procuring funding to buy weapons for rebels in Afghanistan who were fighting a war against the Soviet Union who had invaded their country. Eventually, the Soviet Union threw in the towel in Afghanistan and retreated back to the USSR. The United States then pulled away from further funding for Afghanistan - over Representative Wilson’s objections. Seems old Charlie thought we ought to build some schools and roads since the country was in rubble - but it just wasn’t politically advantageous to support Afghanistan anymore.
So here we are, almost 30 years later, pulling US troops out of Afghanistan. But why, have we completed our mission? Are we 100% sure the Afghan security forces can stand on their own? Or, is it just not politically advantageous to support Afghanistan,,,, again.

Run, Rick, Run??

Gov. Rick Perry of Texas may run for President. He certainly sounds like a candidate, especially his recent speech in New Orleans this past Saturday. His comments were “Reagan-esk” - which has set him apart from all of the other Republican Presidential hopefuls. He indicated, like Reagan, that the Federal Government is not the answer, it’s the problem. He told his fellow Republicans to stop pandering to the left, because no matter what Republicans do, Liberals will never like them. And finally, he is a strong advocate of states rights - in that perhaps, yes perhaps, the Obama administration doesn’t know what’s better for us than we do.
Which brings about the liberals only criticism of Perry so far - in that he suggested that Texas should secede from the Union to escape the tentacles of Washington DC. The liberals said that statement was stupid. That only tells me the limousine liberals in Washington know very little about Texas or Texans. After all, they obviously forgot that Texas was an independent country before it joined the union - Texas decided to join the Union - Texas can certainly state if it would like a divorce. But, how could the liberal elite understand Texas? After all, Texas has more job growth than any other state, lower unemployment that most, and is one of the fastest growing states in the Union.
So, Run Rick Run. Liberals already hate you -- so you must be doing something right.

Same Old Double Standard

Anthony Weiner. Representative from New York. Liberal. Democrat. One of the privileged few. Still in Congress. Even though the evidence about his alleged sex photos to women via his Twitter account are pretty convincing that the good Congressman has been doing something a little less than honorable.
So just why is he still in Congress? Why has this dragged on so long? Simple answer is above - he’s a liberal Democrat. Weiner’s situation has gotten so much bad press that even Nancy Pelosi has stated it’s time for him to go. But he is still in office. Supposedly he is now seeking “treatment”? For what, a sex addiction? Twitter-idis?
I hear the liberal pundits on CNN stating what ‘restraint’ the Republicans were demonstrating while everyone had a chance to get all of the facts on Representative Weiner. The real reason is that Republicans were just letting Weiner self destruct - which exposes the Liberal Democrats for the hypocrites they are - because if Anthony Weiner had been a Republican, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the rest of their liberal comrades would have on Weiner like Vampires on the hemophiliac.
