Hell.....


Yes, that’s where Representative Maxine Waters of the People’s Republic of California it telling all Tea Party people to go – “straight to hell”. At a community summit on Saturday she expressed the sentiment of liberals across the country who have been given free rein to attack anyone who doesn’t agree with their radical left wing agenda. And while her statement is totally inappropriate, I found it curious the air play it received on the CNN and Fox News morning news programs. If you do a search on CNN.com, there’s no mention of the story – in fact, it got literally no airtime on “American Morning” from their left leaning reporters. On Fox, they played the video of Rep Waters making the statement and reported it for what it was – desperation and disappointment by liberals in their “appointed one” who resides in the White House (or wherever he is vacationing this week).
However, I found it amazing how CNN’s American Morning news team made every effort to keep on reporting on Governor Rick Perry’s comment about the Federal Reserve’s actions being treasonous. They referred Perry's comment at every opportuinty - even if it has nothing to do with the news story they were currently reporting. It was so blatant they wanted to keep this story alive in the news that I was expecting it to be part of the weather report – something like “Tropical Storm Irene’s path is so radical that Rick Perry would probably call her actions treasonous”. At least CNN’s American Morning program keeps providing me ideas for my blog -- I just hope I can hold my coffee down in the morning.

The Hypocrite Campaign Tour


President Obama is out on the campaign trail - on YOUR dime. Yes, that's right, the brand new shiny busses, the hotels, the security, all travel costs - right out of the taxpayers pocket. I heard the President's stump speech today, and if that wasn't a campaign speech, then I'm not an old NCO. It's really ironic that the "Champion" of the American taxpayer doesn't think twice about using taxpayer dollars to advance his personal political career - even after boasting about having a billion dollars in his campaign war chest.

And the President's message?? Well, since BIOB (Blame It On Bush) isn't working anymore, he now blames his blatent failures of leadership on Congress - or as he says, "some in Congress" which specifically means Tea Party Republicans. How horrible for those Tea Party people to take away Obama's blank check to spend America into bankruptcy.

So what's Obama's answer to America's economic woes while he's out wasting taxpayer dollars? Well, he is announcing he will be proposing yet another "stimulus package" when Congress comes back from vacation. I guess the first one wasn't a big enough failure that he feels another one is necessary.

Blame and Excuses


This is what President Obama gives us in a time of economic crisis. Blame anything and anyone other then the administration -- and then make excuses for HIS failures of leadership. This administration of failure sent out their comrades to the news programs this weekend hawking a line that this was the “Tea Party Downgrade” in reference to the S&P downgrade of America’s credit rating. The truth is that the Tea Party movement has demonstrated much more leadership than the President by forcing the “spend, spend, spend” liberals to cut up their credit cards. President Obama and his comrades are like a bad relative that keeps asking you to financially bail them out, and then you see them take the money you give them and party it away - only to be back at your doorstep for more money. As least the Tea Party sent the message that the days of the blank check for Liberal programs is over.
Bottom line, Barack Obama said it himself in February 2009, “If this economy hasn’t recovered in three years, I’m a one-termer”. Well, Barack, you have six months to get it right. But based on your performance over the last two and a half years, it doesn’t look like you have a clue.

War Declared!!

The ink wasn’t even dry on the Debt Reduction Bill on President Obama’s desk before the Democrats in the House of Representatives began their all-out verbal assault on conservatives. Faced with a real crisis with the debt ceiling, Democrats had to concede that maybe, just maybe, the Government can’t do everything for everybody. And it was a very bitter pill to swallow for these Socialist Democrats. Their lashing out today at Republicans proves this out..

Let’s begin with what Queen Pelosi said -- “Every time I have met with you, we started our session with how many days it has been since the Republicans have been in office. Well, today it is 210 and we haven't seen any legislation yet that has created jobs. In fact, we have seen legislation which has cost nearly 2 million jobs. More than 9,000 jobs a day would be lost if the Republicans' legislation were signed into law.”

I assume Nancy isn’t speaking of the two YEARS (that's 730 days Nancy) when she was in control of the house – and all that resulted in was massive debts and higher unemployment. It’s nice she is now setting on the sidelines, waiting on the Republicans – at least if she is just sitting on her liberal rump, she isn’t further damaging America. Also, it’s nice to hear her new battle cry ‘Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs’. That’s a refreshing change from her previous credo of ‘Spend, Spend, Spend, Spend’. And as for Republicans proposing legislation to create jobs, how about a bill to lower the national debt so interest rates stay low and inflation doesn’t get out of hand – Nancy, that would be the bill that you were just forced to support that the Republicans – specifically the Tea Party Republicans – got through Congress.

And then Denny Hoyer adds “Let me suggest at the outset that talking about jobs is talking about the debt. The only way we are going to successfully deal with debt is to create jobs and economic growth in America. We know that, but 8 months on the job, no jobs bill for the American people. That is the negligent record of the Republican majority.”

So what’s Denny’s answer – more redistribution of wealth? As the song goes, tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more. But, I agree that the only way out of debt is to grow jobs and have economic growth. But you don’t do that be demonizing those that create jobs and creating an uncertain tax atmosphere, massive amounts of government regulations, and crippling health care legislation – which is Denny’s idea of how to grow jobs.

The Democratic plan to fix America’s economy seems to be, find what will work – then do the opposite. Seems like they all want to be heros in a Bizzaro world where everything is backwards. Maybe we could just fly the House Democrats there in those ‘Corporate Jets’ they love to talk about.

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.
