Remember ACORN? Congressional Democrats voted to offer billions of taxpayer dollars to ACORN and other leftwing outfits – YOUR tax dollars - in their “economic stimulus” legislation.

But that isn’t all. House Democrats voted to spend $600 million on new cars for the federal government, $50 million for the National Endowment of the Arts, and $136 billion on at least 32 government programs. They even voted to spend $335 million on STD prevention.

None of this will fix our ailing economy.

How about a simple NO for those begging for handouts.
Like any business owner if you can not make it on your own then you need to go out of business.
If ACORN can not make it on their own they too need to go out of business.

It will be interesting to see how much of this stimulus package they want to siphen off to themselves in raises or perks.

Personally I think they all need about a 25% pay cut (at least) since they are responsible for this problem.

It could never happen to us seems to be what much of the populations thinks.
That is either arrogant, delusional or flat out stupid. The most interesting thing to me is until the bomb drops in your own back yard much of population functions on business as usual.

First we have a President of the USA who has been sued more in 12 months than any other President has been sued in a whole life time. That should send up red flags somewhere. Again there is a new lawsuit challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president.

Instead of the President simply presenting the documents that would settle all of this … NO ! NOT going to do that. So we have suit being brought on behalf of Charles F. Kerchner Jr., Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr. and names as defendants Barack Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Where’s the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the “natural-born American” clause in the Constitution?

HERE THIS LOUD AND CLEAR … THERE IS NONE YET !!

Then we have Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s nomination was held up after it was revealed that he had failed to pay more than $34,000 in taxes.

Now we have former Sen. Tom Daschle, chosen to lead the new president’s health reform efforts. Daschle recently filed amended tax returns to report $128,203 in back taxes and $11,964 in interest, according to a Senate document obtained by The Associated Press.

Daschle filed amended tax returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007 to reflect additional income for consulting work, the use of a car service and reduced deductions for charitable contributions. He filed the returns after Obama announced he intended to nominate Daschle to head the Health and Human Services Department.

Most of the additional taxes resulted from unreported income from the use of a car service provided him by a close friend and business associate, Leo Hindery Jr. The unreported income for that service totaled more than $250,000 over three years.

I am beginning to wonder if a requirement to be in the Obama administration is DON’T PAY YOUR TAXES.
Clinton ushered in the legacy “it’s okay to be in politics and be a liar” … it appears that the legacy for Obama is “tax cheats are okay”.

Meanwhile a large segment of the population either does not have a clue or simply does not care we are in an economic meltdown.

EVERYONE should stand up and scream STOP !

I already contacted my state officials and told the to vote NO.
Let your voice be heard.
You can go HERE and get help composing your letter and they will send it for you.
You are NOT HELPLESS unless you choose to do nothing.

There are millions of Americans who are politically ignorant. That does not include the voting public that are simply plain ignorant. Today it is unfortunate the rest of us are left to suffer those consequences. To top that off it appears that a good part of the public have lost the ability to use what we all know as ‘common sense’ and far worse have lost their ‘ethical compass’.

Personally I give up my political affiliation with the Republicans.
The bad behavior in Washington in my viewpoint is rampant on both sides of this isle. I blame the Republican party the most because they failed to hold the ethical line that made me proud to be in that party. The Democrats have always been whiny sniveling boo hoo artists giving handouts to the undeserving in order garner perks for themselves.

Why do I put the heaviest blame on the Republicans? Because they KNOW BETTER and are either in collusion or chose to say nothing for whatever reason.

I fully believe that those who sit on the sidelines and say NOTHING when they see a wrong being committed are as guilty as those who commit the bad behavior. In that case SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN.

I watched Orin Hatch being interviewed about the ‘okay’ of Tim Geithner on Glen Beck the other day. I was appalled that Hatch thought it was better for the country to have a crook watching over the treasury assets because he was “so brilliant” so “smart”. I am aghast at Hatch’s definition of brilliant. Hatch looked into Geithner’s eyes and trusted this was an honest mistake. We trust the running of our government to people who themselves have less than adequate judgment skills?
1. Brilliant DOES NOT trump ETHICAL.
2. Someone who ‘cheats on his taxes’ is a gambler … better defined by stupid rather than brilliant.

Geithner by action is not brilliant or he should have known HE WOULD BE EXPOSED. Maybe he did and thought “oh well business as usual”.

“Inexcusable negligence” for non-payment of ($43,000) in taxes during his International Monetary Fund days … was the comment from Susan Collins of Maine (R). Tom Harkin of Iowa, Robert Byrd of West Virginia and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin (all Democrats where smart and ethical enough to put the nix on the okay) as was Bernie Sanders an Independent. Arlen Specter said he would vote yes but had a change of heart and the last moment and voted NO. Well BRAVO to those with the ‘common sense’ and ‘ethical guts’ to call a spade a spade. You see it seems a good many feel “Had (Geithner) not been nominated for treasury secretary, it’s doubtful that he would have ever paid these taxes.”

Geithner was given a thumbs up and now is in charge of the IRS.
This is ethical insanity.

Thank heaven there are still young people who are not as foolish as their peers and some of their professors and administrators.

Reformed is not part of what Bill Ayers is at all.
He is not the least bit sorry for his actions … in fact he denies them.
He maintains HE is not responsible for any bad behavior (anyone believing that has a serious brain function impediment). Isn’t that what every narcissistic jerk says?

Every PARENT footing the bill for their kid to take classes from Ayers should be pitching the BITCH of a lifetime. Insist on your money back and start a class action if you don’t get it.

Bill Ayers was one of the founders of the Weather Underground, a Vietnam era radical group responsible for several bombings in the early 1970′s. At present, he is a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago and noted for his work in education reform.

Ayers was invited to speak at the St. Mary’s College in Moraga Wednesday night as part of a lecture series designed to challenge students to think in new ways. But not everyone welcomed him. Several conservatives went to the college to protest Ayers’ appearance. They called him a domestic terrorist.

During his speech, one man tried to present Ayers with a bible. Security took him away and Ayers went on with his lecture. He challenged students to look at the world differently and get involved. “We need to open our eyes and see the world as it really is.. not some fragmented stereotype of a world predigested corporate ideological lenses and see the world as it is,” Ayers said.

Bravo Barack Obama … well said!

President Barack Obama issued a withering critique Thursday of Wall Street corporate behavior, calling it “the height of irresponsibility” for Wall Street employees to be paid more than $18 billion in bonuses last year while their financial sector was crumbling.

“It is shameful,” Obama said from the Oval Office. “And part of what we’re going to need is for the folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of responsibility.”

The president’s comments, made with new Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner at his side, came in swift response to a report that employees of the New York financial world garnered an estimated $18.4 billion in bonuses last year. The figure, from the New York state comptroller, drew prominent news coverage.

Then we are facing this:

Eastman Kodak Co. said Thursday it is cutting 3,500 to 4,500 jobs, or 14 percent to 18 percent of its work force, as it posted a fourth-quarter loss of $137 million on plunging sales of both digital and film-based photography products. Its stock tumbled more than 23 percent.

Ford Motor Co. said Thursday it lost $5.9 billion in the fourth quarter and burned through $5.5 billion in cash as sales slumped, but the company still says it does not plan to seek federal loans.

The Labor Department reported that the number of Americans continuing to claim unemployment insurance for the week ending Jan. 17 was a seasonally adjusted 4.78 million, the highest on records dating back to 1967. That’s an increase of 159,000 from the previous week and worse than economists’ expectations of 4.65 million.

This is a drop in the bucket of what is on the horizon.
Apparently the “oh well” attitude will continue until the pink slip hits the mailbox of “we the people”.
Do you have a plan B?
If the breadwinner in your family were cut loose from their job what would you do? Those are things that could be just around the bend. The first domino has been pushed over … how long will that line take before it hits your spot on the planet?

California faces a $42 billion budget deficit through June 2010. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a plan.
Two-day-a-month furloughs (without pay) to all 238,000 state workers. Of course two employee unions had challenged Schwarzenegger’s executive order, saying he did not have authority to order furloughs.

Judge Patrick Marlette disagreed. In a preliminary ruling, he said the governor has “express authority to make the challenged order.”

Schwarzenegger has declared a fiscal emergency and he said the reduced-work plan will save California about $1.4 billion through June 2010.

Marlette said “The current circumstances constitute an emergency,” and “The challenged order is reasonable and necessary.”

So the furloughs are scheduled to start Feb. 6.

Schwarzenegger also has sought other concessions from state employees, including eliminating two of their 14 paid holidays.

The governor said “To me labor has the choice, and I made this very clear: That they can help us in making the decision in how they save the $1.4 billion,”.

From my perspective it’s a pretty simple decision … you take the cuts as individuals or you lose your job. My husband always says “half of something is better than all of nothing” … it is prudent to think along those lines sometimes in the real world.

Perhaps Barack Obama needs to pick up the same gauntlet with the federal government job force.
The public is called on to chinch in their belts … lets see Nancy P. spearhead the movement in her house.
That would be refreshing wouldn’t it?

Electronic database to include lawsuit, mental health, abortion, sexual details and only GOD knows what else.

Another little discussed insert in the Obama economic stimulus plan would demand that every American submit to a government program for electronic medical records without a choice to opt out.

Documentation on abortions, mental health problems, impotence, being labeled as a non-compliant patient, lawsuits against doctors and sexual problems could be shared electronically with, perhaps, millions of people.

Could be shared? … well we all know how leak proof ANYTHING in our government is. Lets translate that into lay language. Will be shared either for FREE or an under the table FEE.

Consumer Watchdog, even suggested today Google is trying to lobby for the “sale of electronic medical records.”
Pushing for the provisions so it may sell patient medical information to its advertising clients on the new ‘Google Health’ database?

Consumer Watchdog sent a letter to Congress urging them to put the nix on this process … no doubt like everything else it will be ignored by all. LETTER HERE.

Does any of this matter to you?

If so TO BAD.

This is simply one more thing the ‘Obama HOPE AND CHANGE’ is quietly trying to slip by the public.

Gee I wonder how this could possibly happen?
Well of late I have wondered not only how is this happening but when/where did it start?

It seems Bernard Madoff is a lightweight at ponzi when you look at the $825 billion stimulus plan.
The nation is about to be screwed without even a kiss.

The majority of the voting population voted for Barack Obama with the promise of change.
I would be willing to bet the change expected was not for the WORSE. In reality suddenly ALL sides of the isle are leaping onto the disaster bandwagon.

I have just had an opportunity to look over the latest American Reinvestment and Recovery Plan.
It sounds GREAT! Keep in mind the operative word is SOUNDS.

$825 billion stimulus plan? Stimulus to who? The majority of it certainly will not benefit you or me.
It does not take rocket science or even 4th grade math to realize this governmental 2 + 2 does NOT ADD UP to 4.
Those awestruck by ‘Obama Light’ are slowly beginning to realize they and their children will be left footing the bill.

Thank heavens I have a dollar tree in my back yard, I expect the value of those leaves are equal to that of the US dollars they are cranking out by US presses 24/7.

Nancy Pelosi in an interview TRIES TO JUSTIFY the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars for family planning services. How literally enlightening … “the states are in terrible fiscal crisis”? And that is solved by handing out condoms? Is this woman dumb as a stump?
Apparently!

How stupid does she think we are to fall for this CROCK?

Let’s see here it takes 3 mos for the money to hit these agencies, another 3 most to get the teaching process going, then at least a year for the drop in unplanned pregnancy to manifest (if it does and probably will not).

That is simply one logic shooting holes in the “Pelosi rationale’ and there is no doubt you all could come up with about 100 more.

Then we have our ‘clown friend Barney’ (Barney Frank that is) bailing out his buddy bank? You know the one that the FDIC is pinging on because of misconduct? Why is this ‘corrupt dunce’ still in a position to do any of this?

How intelligent can Barack Obama be to allow any of this on his watch. Maybe he thinks we do not hold him accountable for what his underlings do?

We also have the NOW FAMOUS Rod Blagojevich … I have now watched him on 3 interviews or clips of those interviews. The same mindset and phrase occurs ad nauseam. “I did nothing illegal” … it sounds so much like “I did not have sex with that woman” I want to throw up. What suddenly struck me like a ton of bricks … the common thread. These people HONESTLY DO NOT think they have done anything wrong.

I am sorry I DO NOT ACCEPT that because some people lie it is acceptable for all politicians to be liars.

The corrupt system wins when “we the people” think we do not count. That is the time when it is most necessary to take a stand and have your voice heard. At least you do not succumb to the apathy and become a part of the problem.

Let your voice be heard … http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ enter your zipcode and you will be taken to a page to contact your own state representatives. Let them know you are not happy having your future sold out from under you.

Dianne Goldman Berman Feinstein is the senior U.S. Senator from California, having held office as a senator since 1992.

Feinstein has been married three times. Her third husband, Richard C. Blum, is an investment banker with large investments in companies that have won large government contracts without competitive bidding. As of December 2006, according to SEC filings and FedSpending.org, three corporations in which Blum’s financial entities own a total of $1 billion in stock won considerable favor from the budgets of the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

In 2003, Feinstein was ranked the fifth-wealthiest senator, with an estimated net worth of $26 million. By 2005 her net worth had increased to between $43 million and $99 million. Her 347-page financial-disclosure statement is characterized by the San Francisco Chronicle as “nearly the size of a phonebook.”

And to compound this conflict of interest it appears Mrs. Feinstein would be trading favorable vote for China and possibly selling them intelligence. After all Mrs. Feinstein is the Chairperson of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). Can anyone believe these freaks in Washington? Let’s see we will put the most compromised untrustworthy senator in the senate whose husband has made multimillions from one of our potential enemies in charge of intelligence. The gall of these people just boggles my mind. The government school brainwashing have had such a huge impact when corruption and treasonous behavior by a senator smacks the public in the face they are completely oblivious to it. What spy? What conflict of interest? Instead the brainwashed press and masses concentrate on sex scandals and Obama’s gluteus maximus. Nothing better than being Jewish and a democrat these days is it Mrs. Feinstein?

As a politically insensitive person let me throw out a few names here. Julius Rosenberg, Ethel Greenglass Rosenberg, David Greenglass, Morton Sobell, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Leo Szilard, Bruno Pontecorvo, Morris Cohen, Lona Cohen, Robert Soblen, Jack Soble, Victor Perlo, Lee Pressman, Jacob Albam, Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, V. J. Jerome, Alexander Trachtenberg, Israel Amter, Arvo K. Halberg, Philip Bart, Philip Carl Weissberg, Joel Barr, Harry Dexter Weiss, Alfred Sarant, Harry Goldodnitsky, Theodore Hallsberg, Yakov Golos, Armand Hammer, Samuel Dickstein and Jonathan Pollard. All spies working against the United States of America. They got paid a whole lot less than Mrs. Feinstein’s husband. So why would Mrs. Feinstein be any different from these characters? She has a whole lot more motivation than these other spies. I mean after all for some people nations come and go. Money is forever. It’s all about the money isn’t it Mrs. Feinstein?

We can only hope the NSA is doing the equivalent of NATO secret to Mrs. Feinstein and her opportunistic colleges at the senate willing to sell out the United States for some Chinese gold and silver. For those of you not in the military back in the cold war days they had NATO secret documents which basically meant everyone in the world knew the information but we were going to pretend it was a real secret. We all knew the first frog or kraut that laid eyes on the document would go running to the nearest KGB operative and spill his or her guts as fast as their diarrhea mouth could spit out the information. So basically NATO documents were completely boring useless crap so frogs and krauts could feel useful “undermining” the United States. We can only hope Mrs. Feinstein is receiving the same treatment.

These freaks in Washington think the masses are stupid. And for the most part they are right. Talk to anyone who voted for Obama and we can see that brainwashing truly is effective. But those of us who are not will have to be dealt with sooner or later. We may just help our future opponent the Chinese in fulfilling the liberals’ dream of the destruction of America. We may rise up and create a second civil war. Maybe we will migrate to Canada, central and south America leaving the parasites the horrible task and realization that there are no workers to suck blood from. Or the most direct option of removing parasites from elected office. Nobody can predict how this will end up. Probably a combination of all the above.

One thing is certain is there is a large minority out there that is not buying your crap. When the dollar tanks, unemployment goes up to 12% and inflation flares to 30% a lot more will not be buying your bail out to the parasites crap. We all know you hate America. We all know you worship your gold and silver pieces far more than some stupid nation. Someday you will be gone. Make fun of nations. They come and go. You are right about that. But so will your family and its gold. We the people will make sure of that.

The government hierarchy is entrenched in scandal these days.
MSM could not wait to leap on the bandwagon to tar, feather and pillar anyone in the Republican party that they felt was doing wrong. The silence from them TODAY is deafening.

Perhaps they do not consider all of the scandal rife in the new political administration wrong?

The news is full of stories about how Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich attempted to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat to the highest bidder.

Obama’s new White House chief of staff, FOB (friends of Barack) Rahm Emanuel, also has serious ethical shortcomings. Emanuel’s voice is on the tapes of Blagojevich and John Harris, Blagojevich’s recently departed chief of staff. Emanuel is heard representing Obama in the negotiations to sell the Senate seat. When approached by the governor, Emanuel didn’t contact authorities and turn in Harris or Blagojevich for pitching the deal. Remember, at least two players are required for the “pay to play” game. All of those who actively participated in the alleged negotiations to sell a Senate seat are just as guilty as Blagojevich.

There is little if any concern about the pattern of close Obama associates involved in scandal. Apparently the MSM can not connect the dots or never heard the old term BOAF (birds of a feather).

Then we have Eric Holder, FOB and Obama’s nominee for Attorney General, is also guilty of questionable entanglements, making it nearly impossible for him to fulfill his duties as the nation’s top law enforcement officer. Holder, on the last day of Bill Clinton’s presidency, worked on the controversial pardon of felon Marc Rich and a whole slew of others. Later, when in private practice, Holder represented the Chiquita company, securing them a sweetheart deal in the lawsuit against them for paying protection money to AUC, a Colombian terrorist group. AUC is responsible for horrific massacres in Colombia and plays a large role in the exportation of cocaine from the country. Court records reveal Holder wanted the Chiquita case dismissed, saying, “There is no clearly defined rule of international law prohibiting material support of terrorism.” The U.S. government designated the AUC as a foreign terrorist organization on September 10, 2001.

FOB Bill Richardson recently withdrew his name from nomination for Commerce secretary due to a grand jury investigation. He is accused of taking $100,000 from another FOB, David Rubin, president of the CDR Financial Products, Inc. “I have been an unabashed supporter of Democratic causes and public figures, especially those like Richardson, who support a liberal, inclusive agenda,” Rubin said.

The grand jury is looking into Rubin’s Beverly Hills, Calif.-based CDR, which received almost $1.5 million in fees from the New Mexico Finance Authority in 2004. This is after donating $100,000 to Richardson’s efforts to register Hispanic and Native American voters and pay for expenses at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. The New Mexico probe comes two years after the FBI searched CDR’s records as part of a nationwide investigation into whether banks and advisers conspired to overcharge local governments on financing deals.

CDR has also been the target of investigations by the Internal Revenue Service, Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice into whether banks and brokers conspired to rig bids on municipal derivatives and profit from deals at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.

What the news has failed to cover is that Obama, too, received big money — $30,000 — from Rubin in September. Obama has raked in millions for his presidential campaign from donors with business before the federal government.

Then we have the brilliant Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary. He is a must have because he is the ONLY PERSON who can pull us out of the economic crunch the government has foisted our way. He is SO BRILLIANT he can not figure out his income tax using turbo tax. I have to ask how brilliant can someone be if they can not figure out a program set up for kindergarten children. How brilliant is someone who fails to pay their tax for 4 years. How exceedingly brilliant is someone who takes a check compensating for those failed tax payments? Can anyone spell CROOK except me?

If there is a silver lining in all of this it is simple … all of those silent PUNDITS are going down the tubes along with all of us little guys. Apparently these visionary’s can not see the writing on the wall they too will be standing in an unemployment line somewhere.
