Does it pay to miff the public?

cooperWhen you make your bread and butter off the public it would be wise to protect your position by not pissing said public off.

Apparently CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who made repeated “teabagging” references, and MSNBC’s David Shuster, who said, “Teabagging day for the right wing and they are going nuts for it.” … were stupid enough to forget that rule of thumb.

Or maybe they are so use to being stupid and the public either accepting or ignoring it daily they simply figured they would get away without repercussion.

How many ways can you say WRONG! ?

I have to tell you with the mood of the day changing moment by moment as the “we the people of the USA” giant awakens … those in the media or public service with a cushy job best take note.

The FCC has received complaints as well it should. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

We the people have a voice and most of us can shout long and hard enough to eventually BE HEARD.

What Do We Do Now After April 15th?

April 19, 2009
Posted by Economics9698 @ 8:41 AM

perryThanks to grass roots, Republicans, Fox, Rush, Democrats, Boortz, Libertarians and the thousands of local organizers the Tea Party Revolt was a huge success. The fascist in Washington downplayed the protest. So be it. Like in any contest there is not enough time to worry about the other side. Let the intelligence operations in the Republican Party worry about the fascist in Washington. Real change will have to come from outside Washington and that is where the protest is centered.

The first thing people need to realize is what are we for? Limited government. Pretty simple concept. Fine. Keep it that way. Realize that ALL federal programs with the exception of the military and federal judicial responsibility are nothing more that political power grabs. Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, State Health Insurance Program and any program that pays individually money. Power grabs. Simple.

Proof? Look at the power Social Security has over old folks. They go crazy any time reform is proposed. And Social Security is nothing more than a Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Social Security like most federal programs is poorly designed and a huge waste of resources. Similar to having a water pipe broken continually flooding the back yard and never bothering to fix it. It gets worse with time.

John McCain was right about one thing. Social Security is an easy fix. Dissolve the program. Pay contributors their money back with interest, pay retires their retirement benefits till they die and move on.

And just like Social Security is an easy fix so is the rest of our federal programs. US Department of Housing and Urban Development? Dissolve it and sell the assets. US Department of Health, Education and Welfare? Dissolve it and sell the assets. Nothing more than special interest programs that do almost nothing positive.

There is nothing wrong with any of these programs – at the state or local level. And that’s what needs to be the top priority of the people and the next third party that challenges the fascist currently in Washington. No social engineering programs at the federal level period.

A lot of protesters had flat tax signs. Very encouraging. Another way to get the federal government out of our lives. Thanks Boortz and Linder for promoting the idea whose time may come.

Another encouraging development was the awareness of the protesters to the destructive power the Federal Reserve has over our economy. Bravo! I give business television contributor Peter Schiff and others for bringing this to the publics attention. The Federal Reserve should be tasked with increasing the money supply 3% to 5% a year period. No federal funds rate. No discount window. No liquidation insolvent banks. Nothing but increasing money stock 3% to 5% a year. Alan Greenspan had the fed funds rate at 1% in the middle of the sub prime mortgage melt down. It should have been at 9% to make the insane loans more expensive. If the free market was allowed to work risky loans would have been at 9% or higher and millions of them not made. Time for the Federal Reserve to get out of the interest rate business forever.

Finally we need to understand the enemy at the gates of Rome that is burning it down. The people in charge have no connection to the Judeo-Christian country that we are. Obama was born to a communist whore mother and philandering Negro father. He attended a racist Black Theology church for 20 years. The dude in his heart hates white people. Look at the whites he surrounds himself with. Jews, lesbians, homosexuals, incompetents and communist. Anyone see a main stream white dude anywhere around the racist?

White people need to understand that the rest of the world is not like them. White people don’t like to be bothered by racial issues and will do anything they can to avoid the subject. Having grown up around Negros I am telling you all Negros think about is the world in racial terms. Obama is sacking Washington right now because he feels the black folks deserve all that money. Pretty much the same as if burglars’ came into your house while you were gone and took all your stuff for themselves. That’s how Obama and his communist buddies in the White House view the Federal Treasury. Finally the white folks are reacting to the theft. Well it’s about time.

Jews for the most part are secular. Jews although small in number have huge financial resources and contribute to secular causes. Jews have a long history of being persecuted but one has to ask why? Could it be because they are a bad influence on society? In America looking at Hollywood and the Federal Reserve I would unequivocally say Jews are a VERY destructive influence on America.

Our forefathers created segregation of White Anglo Saxon Protestants from other groups for our benefit. We are learning what happens when those other get control over us and enslave us financially and physically. It’s why we fight wars. WASP are 66% of the population. If Obama has his way that number will shrink below 50% in a heartbeat. Obama wants to open the floodgates to immigration and create a white minority. Obama doesn’t want a white America. Obama doesn’t have any use for democracy or rule of law. That’s his dream. That’s the cold hard truth.

Texas governor Rick Perry gets it. He knows the first state Obama wants to make whites a minority in is Texas. Win Texas and the country is yours. Enslave the white folks with high taxes and set up a country where only those you like have power and wealth. Dictatorship. Venezuela. Cuba. The United States.

So the Tea Party is a wake up call. For the 30% that will actually fight this war this is just the first round. Yes succession has to be a viable option. Yes there will be confrontation. For the 30% that actually understands what is happening we have to be ready to fight in any way we can. Palin and Perry get it. We just may need a second civil war if we WASP are to remain free. That’s the cold hard reality. Live free or die.


Commander in chief not so in command?

Posted by clinicalthinker @ 8:31 AM

Much of my life has been spent as an observer of behavior.
From the start my peg of Obama was a man of “much talk but few guts” if you know what I mean. You know the kind who is first to take cover (or worse) run when the first shots are fired. The kind you can not count on in an emergency situation.

With all of the hype about being ready to hit the ground running if elected it is clear to see that was not the case. (Where oh where is Sarah Palin when you need someone reliable?) There is one thing we can CERTAINLY count on THIS PRESIDENT to do.
Push everyone close by flat on their face if there is a photo-op close at hand.

I have to give him credit he excels at that!

Clearly protocol is not his strong suit and neither is it of his advisors.

Let me say it again … we have a clod in the White House.
Bush had a number of down sides but we can all say without equivocation decorum was not one of them.

Lack of leadership apparently raised its ugly head with the Somali pirate situation.
While the MSM was showering Obama with GREAT JOB ADULATION … the truth behind the scenes was Obama and his advisors hampered the rescue.

Reliable military sources close to the scene are accusing the president of employing restrictive rules of engagement that actually hampered the rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips and extended the drama at sea for days.

Multiple opportunities to free the captain of the Maersk Alabama from three young pirates were missed, these sources say – all because a Navy SEAL team was not immediately ordered to the scene and then forced to operate under strict, non-lethal rules of engagement.

Savage sues Napolitano for targeting vets

April 17, 2009
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 19:35 PM

My latest new catch phrase seems to be “you have got to be kidding!”. Daily the fools in DC do something more outrageous than the day before. I honestly think a 10 year old has more sense than some of these dolts.

I watched Bill O’Reilly last night as he defended Janet Napolitano for the blunder in the latest hand out from the DHS. She stated to the public she wished she had used better language when singling out vets as “potential would be terrorists”. Bill gets a giant gold star for THIS FAIR AND BALANCED. Hopefully he does not get Scoliosis from being excedinly fair in this case.

Anyway GOOD FOR SAVAGE!
Some of these non thinking officials need to have their butts kicked by the public … who are screaming … ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Radio Host LawsuitRadio talk show icon Michael Savage has teamed up with the Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor, Mich., to file a lawsuit against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

“It is a civil rights action brought under the First and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution, challenging the policy, practice, and custom of the United States Government that targets for disfavored treatment those individuals and groups that are considered to be ‘rightwing extremists,’” the complaint announced today said.

R rated CNN and MSNBC?

April 16, 2009
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 8:57 AM

My my what is this world coming to?
The other night while watching CNN and MSNBC I thought I picked up several more than over the top sexually R rated slurs in regards to the “tea-parties”.

My first response was NAHHHH. Must have been a slip of the brain with those who uttered them.

Apparently I was not the only one to notice. Seems like others caught the lewd joke foisted on the public by CNN’s Anderson Cooper as he insulted the grass-roots Tea Parties that blanketed the United States this week.

The comment:
“It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging.”

The comment parallels the “tea-bagging” term commonly used in the homosexual community to describe a homosexual act in which testicles are inserted in someone’s mouth.

Greg Gutfeld and the Red Eye group do a great job of skewering Cooper and his ilk over the “teabagging” comments.

Imagine the weeping, wailing and absolute howls of outrage that would be coming from the left had any of this been uttered by the right about a NOW rally.
MSM hypocrisy at its finest by CNN and MSNBC and the agents that govern them.

Personally I think both Cooper and Shuster should get the Imus treatment to be “fair and balanced”.

A mini re-cap by Fox News:

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interspersed “teabagging” references with analyst David Gergen’s more staid commentary on how Republicans are still “searching for their voice.”

“It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging,” Cooper explained. Gergen laughed, but Cooper kept a straight face.

MSNBC’s David Shuster weaved a tapestry of “Animal House” humor Monday as he filled in for Countdown host Keith Olbermann.

The protests, he explained, amount to “Teabagging day for the right wing and they are going nuts for it.”

He described the parties as simultaneously “full-throated” and “toothless,” and continued: “They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending.” Shuster also noted how the protesters “whipped out” the demonstrations this past weekend.


Main stream media clue less!

April 15, 2009
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 17:26 PM

I was interested in what the reports would be over the tea-party on the 15th. Since much of the prelude to the event was being played down by the MSM.

President Obama was not aware of the tea-parties according to whitehouse representatives?
I find that a little hard to believe. If this is true what can we the people think of the situation? I would think a good leader would certainly be AT LEAST aware of what was going on at the grass roots of the country he is SUPPOSE to be running.

Take a look at Susan Roesgen of CNN in the midst of a tea-party crowd in Ill. Looks like Susan was trying (SHE FAILED) to whip up a little confrontation of her own. No wonder CNN is close to bust with both feet on a banana peel. Where on earth do these networks dig these people up? Were they missing in action when common sense were passed out? Clearly this woman was.

Next I whipped over to MSNBC and who should I run into but my favorite Keith Olbermann. I jest of course. I have seen nothing of Keith Olbermann that points to good journalist, commentator, reporter or anything of the kind. Those that pay his salary are being screwed royally. Apparently that does not matter and again may be the cause of this networks decline in the ratings also. Who in their right mind would watch this guy day in and day out?

Over the coarse of an hour Olbermann referred to the tea-party gathering as having a few hundred people. Diminish the impact apparently was the goal. Instead Olbermann comes off as being ignorant, stupid, deceptive or just a plain liar. Most likely all.

Apparently Olbermann and our own President are clue less about these tea-parties. They started at the GRASSROOTS by ordinary people who were flat fed up with EVERYONE in government. They are flat fed up with the Olbermanns in the media who think THEY CONTROL what “we the people” think or do.

I personally have watched this developing for several months. The GOP, Fox News or high powered politicians WERE NOT behind it. (no matter how much the opposition wishes it were true.) Most of the tea-party movement organizers haven’t ever organized, or even participated, in a protest rally before. General disgust has drawn a lot of people off the sidelines and into the political arena, and they are already planning for political action after today. The sleeping giant has awakened and is not likely to do another Rip Van Winkle in the near future.

All of the BULL**** foisted around on the networks show how worried they are. We the people … you and I, the Joe the Plumbers of the world are radical extremists. NO WE ARE NOT! We are every day people who are tired of being pushed around by the ELITE BUBBLE HEADS in Washington who have done this to long with little or no VIABLE OPPOSITION.

There were tea-parties all over the USA. It is estimated there were 300,000 attendees. Somehow that is a little more than the few hundreds reported by Olbermann don’t ya think?

Then we have the Huffington Post and Andy Ostray.
His latest take on the tea-party movement:
Tea Parties: GOP Once Again Manipulating the Average Joe

Dear old Andy thinks the average Joe is simply some ignorant hack that can be dragged around forever by a nose ring and say nothing FOREVER.

Get a grip Andy … wake up and smell the real coffee.

Here is a comment I left on his post … he monitors all comments so doubtful it will see light of day unless he is shamed into it by this entry into this blog:

Andy,

It would be refreshing if you knew and reported the facts rather than your opinion or concept of what is going on.

The tea-parties are exactly what they are suppose to be. Grassroots everyday folks who are tired to the teeth of being shafted by the government (BOTH PARTIES). Get use to it … it’s not going away.

Fox News, the GOP and some of the smarter Democrats will follow the movement and even join in if they are smart.

I have watched this grow now for over 3 months. It is pushed by ordinary people who are FED UP. Now you can snivel, whine and gnash your teeth all you like (free speech you know?) in the end it is wasted effort … but nice try.


Susan Boyle – Singer in – Britains Got Talent 2009

April 14, 2009
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 11:32 AM

I had to pass this on to all of you out there.
It was sent to me by 2 different people. Both times I watched it tears welled up for a number of reasons.
It reminded me of how superficial the world has become.
I AM NO FAN of American Idol. I find Simon Cowell an obnoxious jerk which makes the show a huge waste of time in my opinion. Belittling performers in front of millions does not display the best of character in the belittler as far as I am concerned.

As I watched this video I payed attention not only to the distain of the panel but that of the audience.
The video is of Susan Boyle – Singer in – Britains Got Talent 2009 auditions. This spunky charming 47 year old who lives with her cat Pebbles and has never been married or kissed wowed the audience. The change from start to end was remarkable.

It brought home the whopping “NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER” adage.Unfortunately this is not available to embed but certainly worth a click to watch on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Here is another song from Susan that was recorded in 1998 for a charity CD … this woman is a wonderful talent apparently undiscovered until now.

Susan’s hope to be as good as Elaine Paige … far to go? … I don’t think so.

Congressional Negros Honor Communist Thug

April 13, 2009
Posted by Economics9698 @ 11:57 AM

barbara-lee-pictureMembers of the Congressional Black Caucus lead by Congresswoman Barbara Lee visited the communist thug Fidel Castro last week. Being the stupid thugs 95% of Negros seem to be these days they praised the dictator. Warm gushy comments like “It was quite a moment to behold,” Lee said, recalling her moments with Castro. It was almost like listening to an old friend,” said Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Il.), adding that he found Castro’s home to be modest and Castro’s wife to be particularly hospitable. Pretty much the fawning over a dictator one would expect from a bunch of pretending to be educated idiots who only understand the law of the streets. Nothing more than thugs praising a thug.

Well let’s just have a look at where Castro has lead his people. The Purchasing Power Parity in Cuba according to the World Bank is less than $290 per year or $25 per month. Blacks in America make $39,683 (2007) or $3,307 per month. So for the pretending to be educated crowd of thug Negros Cuba is better than America because all suffer equally in poverty. And as long as the leadership lives the life of luxury let the peasants eat sugar cane. The Negros in America are the truly stupidest politicians there ever was in the free world.

I mean what is there to like about Cuba today? Lots of cheap whores and old 1950’s cars? I guess if I was into cheap whores Cuba would be a great place to visit. I now think I know why Bobby Rush was so giddy when he was down in Cuba. All those whores for only $5 a day. Wow what a deal right Bobby? America needs to be communist right Bobby? It’s a wonderful thing when you got all them brown and Caucasian woman selling it for $5 a day.

And what about the 9,000 political executions? Or the 77,000 people who died trying to escape the tyranny? I guess for American Negros deaths don’t count unless they are black people involved. The only time browns or Caucasians count is when they are getting cheap sex from them. And according to the CBC there is no better place to get cheap sex than Cuba. But everyone is equal and it a workers paradise right Barbara?

Back in the day not so long ago idiots and traitors like these morons were tarred and feathered. They were put into the town’s main square for all to see and be humiliated. Sean Penn and all the other whackos who think living on $25 a month is just the coolest thing should join these idiot traitors. And then all their private property should be confiscated from them. Send them to Cuba to live on $25 a day. Forever.

african-dream-cheBlacks better hope and pray there is never a revolution in America. They are outnumbered and hated by the Hispanics and Caucasians. As the brown communist revolutionary Che Guevara said:

“The Negro is indolent and fanciful, he spends his money on frivolity and drink; the European comes from a tradition of working and saving which follows him to this corner of America and drives him to get ahead.”

“Given the prevailing lack of discipline, it would have been impossible to use Congolese machine-gunners to defend the base from air attack: they did not know how to handle their weapons and did not want to learn.”

obama-che-supporter

I would imagine Castro who was a friend and comrade of Che’s holds the same sediments in his heart. Only complete idiots would praise him for delivering such a squalid living standard to his people.


Fair Tax Rally in Jacksonville, Florida

April 11, 2009
Posted by Economics9698 @ 8:34 AM

boortz-excellent-shoot

This past Saturday April 11th another Fair Tax rally took place thanks to the dedication of radio personality Neil Boortz and Congressman John Linder. Both these fine decent citizens have donated countless hours for this effort. I would like to thank them and all those who put together these efforts to create a fair tax system for all Americans. Everyone involved is truly a patriot.

And now the not so obvious observations from the mischievous mind of a libertarian and economics ranting and raving type of guy.

seminole-county-front

The first thing I noticed was everyone seemed to be up on the fact that the 16th Amendment would have to be repealed but no one seemed to realize that all other federal taxes would have to be abolished as well. This would include tariffs. Why? Congress would take that 23% sales tax revenue and combine it with tariffs (imports and exports make up approximately 24% of the GDP), user fees, airport taxes, gas taxes and whatever else they could think of to gain control over America just as they do today. Trust me in a decade or two it would be business as usual for the slackers in Washington. A constitutional amendment repealing the 16th amendment would also have to contain provisions repealing all other federal taxes except in war time.
The second observation was all the speakers except the Talk Master Neal Boortz insisted that this was a Democrat, Republican, Independent and Libertarian effort. And in a way they are right. Make no mistake about it the Fair Tax is a frontal assault by the Libertarian Party and members to wrest power from Washington and return it to the people. If this Fair Tax thing ever does pass it will be a Libertarian Party victory for the people. Damn sure didn’t come from the other side of the isle.

dont-tread-on-me

The third thing no one seems to understand is that if the Fair Tax is passed there will be massive dislocation of work force and an increase in personal wealth. Everyone is for it but if personal wealth increases 50% as one speaker claimed well guess what? The Federal Reserve better be on it’s A game watching for inflation. There could be massive inflation and economic dislocation of resources which in the long run would be beneficial but chaos in the short run. In fact the diabolical part of my mind envisions Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke working with the fascist elements of our government using the Fair Tax as a Trojan horse to create hyperinflation making the political climate more conducive to consolidate and centralize more power in the hands of the federal government. Pass the Fair Tax; pump up the monetary base at the same time and whoa! Hyper inflation, another crisis and “we tried the capitalist approach and look where it got us!” The final coup de grace to freedom and liberty. After seeing Alan Greenspan sabotage Bush I wouldn’t put it past Bernanke to pull that stunt.

If the Fair Tax is passed the Federal Reserve will have to be dedicated to defending the currency and doing whatever it takes as the economy transitions from spending to savings. I would not want Alan Greenspan or Ben Bernanke running the Fed when such a transition occurs. Don’t trust either one of them as far as I can spit.

herman-cain

As CATO Senior Fellow Dan Mitchell points out a flat tax would accomplish much the same thing without the constitutional amendment. Yes the Fair Tax is better but the flat tax is easier. At this point in time anything is better. Cutting corporate and capital gains, anything but the suicidal insanity that has gripped our leaders.

Finally the secessionists are out and about. A gentleman was passing out the Free Magnolia pushing for southern independence once again. Everyone dismisses these succession folks but if we in America do see hyper inflation (sometimes defined as 50% annually or 10% monthly but there is no absolute definition at this time) succession will look awfully good for much of the country not sympathetic with the current political elite. Starvation and unemployment will drive even the best of folks to extremes.

Again thank you to the Talk Master Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder. I wish I was half the man these two are. God bless both of them.

How much of the national debt to you owe?

April 10, 2009
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 23:38 PM

With tax day just around the corner, here are some daunting figures to consider: take the amount you owe the federal government this year in taxes and add $184,000 — that’s your personal share of the U.S. government’s $56.4 trillion in debts, other financial obligations, and unfunded promises. Each American household’s share is even greater — $483,000.

So have you filed Form 483000 yet?

At a time when Americans are enduring the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation wants to help the public understand the consequences of our growing deficit and debts and learn what needs to be done to reverse them.

That’s why we’ve launched an entertaining new website to engage and educate the public on this issue: http://www.OwenandPayne.com. On the site, Owen and Payne — two hotshot tax preparers — explain to you how even after paying taxes, each American is still burdened with $184,000 in debts.
