My 2 cents on the comments on http://usa-wethepeople.com/2010/01/random-thoughts-on-palin-beck-and-obama/#comments

I watched all of the recent Palin interviews. I am sorry to say it appears she is getting a little conditioned to media attack.

Her main strength is who she is … people tune in on that. They do not care if she winks, hugs or says “you betcha”.
Those trying to polish her up and mold her into a politician are DEAD WRONG. Let her remain a diamond in the rough … give her her head … she is like a fine racehorse that instinctively KNOWS HOW TO WIN AND HAS THE HEART FOR IT.

Those who think she is stupid are TRULY THE STUPID ONES.
When you hear someone call her stupid respond with a “YOU ARE THE STUPID ONE!”
A spade is a spade and we are all watching our USA tank because of the politically correct whining hacks and those who choose to learn from them.

What Sarah Palin understands is LIFE IS HARD … no one promised easy here so you better buck up little buddies if you are going to survive to thrive. How many of us forgot that in the raising of our kids? Personally from day one I understood Dr. Spock was a wingnut and his advice for bringing up kids was in left field. I tossed his book for fools ONLY.
So we have a generation or 2 primed for the government taking care of them and thinking its great. What they do not all quite realize is THEY GET TO PAY?

As for Beck … when you have hit bottom there is literally no place but lateral or up. Beck had the metal to choose up and the key? To daily be grateful for the experience, knowledge, and understanding to change.

How many of us can say the same?

I have few words for Obama.
He knows exactly what he is doing and it is intended.
He is a narcissist and anyone with that malady is nothing at all under that facade. I am not sure who made him … what I am sure of is sooner or later we will all find out.

Last let me say this to those willing to use the RACE CARD BULLSHIT:
IF BARACK OBAMA WERE WHITE HE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ELECTED!

Love this guy

All this health care debate is so tiring. We the people know the special interest have both the democrats and republicans in their pocket. The biggest factor in getting the cost down would be to get the government totally out of the health care business and we all know it. But they push on looking to grab the prize. Similar to the 1966 Kansas City Chiefs pushing to get that last American Football League championship one year prior to the merger with the NFL. Interesting but quite irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. So many bigger games and battles to be fought in the coming years ahead.

And so it is with our politicians of today. Social Security will be insolvent in 2018 if not sooner. Does anyone think we will pay 20% to keep it solvent? Does anyone think the government will graciously pay off the file cabinet of IUO’s back to the people? Not a chance. Social security will become a welfare program and all the IOU’s will magically disappear with the stroke of a pen.

Medicaid and Medicare are insolvent in many states and federally. And? The politicians’ want to rip off the programs like Social Security. Collect a few trillion pay a few billion and pocket the change. Cover illegal’s and give grandma and grandpa a pill. These politicians are diabolical.
And then we have our affirmative action Harvard educated lying president. An informal look at his speeches and statements reveals at least a 50% lie rate. Quite high even for a politician. At least Bush told the truth and lied by omission. This pathological liar is so stoned on his ego he can’t help but lie almost constantly. Very few in the press call him out. Watching him lie to George Stephanopoulos about the extremely regressive $3,800 medical care tax was too much to stomach even for me. Hell give me Jimmy Carter, at least he tries to be honest.
We the people in the fly over states know the federal government is doomed.

And what are you going to do about it? Does anyone see a Libertarian take over of the party? Last time I checked it was the same corrupt players as 2006. Graham, McCain, Boehner and what are they going to do different when they get power in 2010? We are $11 trillion in debt. The GDP is $14 trillion. And? There going to magically cut out waste and fraud? Did they do it in 2005? Did they regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2005? No the Republicans will take over in 2010 and the beat will go on. The nation will be insolvent just like the former USSR in 1989.

It’s what business people call an end game. We all know it. The politicians know it. Only some of the people know it. Now you know it. And how does this play out?

The nice business folks in the suburbs want to keep the illusion this is America as long as possible. The government wants to stay in power as long as possible. Why? To rip the people off as much as possible before it all breaks down. And then you are left holding the bag as those with money leave while the next revolution is fought by those that remain.
None of this slips by our military. None of this should slip by state legislatures. And none of this should slip by the public.

What needs to happen? Spending on every entitlement program must be eliminated or cut. No Department of Education. No housing and urban development. Medicaid cut drastically. Everything must go or we perish holding on to nothing. It so reminds me of the story on how to catch a monkey. I have no idea if this is true or not but here it goes. In Africa natives place a banana in a box with a narrow entrance big enough for a monkey to place his hand in. When the monkey grabs the banana he makes a fist. The fist is too big to pass through the opening. The monkey will pull and pull for hours until the hunting party arrives. And then he is killed. And so it is with our politicians and the people. They have themselves trapped financially and they will pull and pull until the Day of Judgment and it all is over. And the sad thing will be right before the Republic dies is all we had to do was let go of the debt and move on with our lives.

If business, politicians and the people with money don’t understand this the Republic is over. As longs as they are fighting over trivial issues like nationalized health care the war is lost. The issue is our unfunded liabilities and the national debt. This country need to turn on a dime. Libertarians taking over the Republican Party is the first step in a long road to recovery. And the chances of that happening are slim to none.
The only thing we the people can do it elect local and state representatives with leadership abilities and a understanding of the original constitution and the role of state government. And be ready to succeed from the union.

If I write that 28.6% of blacks, 16.7% of Hispanics, 4.4% of whites and 1.1% of Asians end up in jail is that racist? If I write Asians have an average Q of 101, whites 100, Hispanics 93 and blacks 85 is that racist? Or would it be stating the facts as compiled by the Department of Justice and every IQ test ever devised?

The simple truth is racism is a belief of one race in its superiority over other races. Blacks fit this mold better than any other group in America. In my experience and the continued controversy over the subject in America blacks and their party, the Democratic Party, can’t let race drop . It doesn’t matter that since 1962 blacks have achieved equality based on their potential and IQ. It doesn’t matter that million and billions have been spent on affirmative action and inner city development. It doesn’t matter that America has kissed the black ass for 30 years and counting. It doesn’t matter to Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. America will always be racist and to hell with reality.

The reality is America has spent billions in the black community, discriminated against white in every aspect of government and the private sector, demonized white people and played the race card for the last frigging time. It ends here and now.

White America is feed up with paying out of our pocket for bull crap that never works and gets incompetents positions of power and authority. President Obama is exhibit #1. Does anyone in their right mind think he is anywhere near Bill Clintons intellect? Can he change his narrow ideological view of the world on a dime like Bill? Hell no! He’s a teleprompter reading ideological dolt wedded to his Marxist philosophy. He’s a 95 IQ affirmative action dolt passed along at Columbia and Harvard to inflict the indoctrination session he received onto the rest of the nation. The guy is one of the dumbest presidents to ever parade around in the oval office.

To be fair Bush was no brainer either. Nor Ronald Reagan. But Bush and Reagan compromised, some would say more than compromised, with the opposition. Both had enough smarts to do what they wanted to do. Bush won in Iraq. Reagan won the cold war. Like them or hate them they achieved victory and made America a safer place. Obama so far has displayed none of these characteristics.

This weekend Obama will go on all the major networks except Fox to push government health care. Why? He’s a communist at heart and cannot bring himself to acknowledge or dignify the press operation he would like to shut down. It’s that simple. Bill O’Reilly hypostatizes that it is because Obama is immature. Bull crap. Obama is a communist at heart and will go down with the ship before he concedes an inch to freedom and liberty. That’s the truth.

What do I think? White America better frigging wake up and real soon or all those crime free suburbs will be history. All those nice suburban crime free schools will be history. All those kids going to college will be history. Communism doesn’t allow for such bourgeoisie pursuits of happiness. All must be for the state and all else is discarded. Kiss the black man’s and men of colors ass all you white people is the object of this administration. Is this racist or reality? So far it’s Obama’s reality and the white folks are starting to get the message.

I have said this in the past but am saying it again.

WHEN? are we going to quite the funny talk (politically correct) and call things by their correct names?

Is anyone but me tired to the teeth of our politicians saying oh well it was “misinformation”, “misdirection”, or “confusion of the facts”?

Lets get with the program here … a damn lie is ALWAYS A DAMN LIE no matter who says it for whatever reason.
Enough with the polite passes !

We are facing a full blown crisis in this country and it has absolutely nothing to do with health care.
It appears our Government is corrupt to the core.

If indeed there are still honest people on both sides of the isle they better get their butts in gear and start making their position known. Those without blinders can see what is on the horizon. It is a full scale revolution and I fear it is not going to be peaceful.

Our President is simply a puppet figurehead … wrap your minds around that FACT.
He is not excessively bright (he is however easily manipulated by the puppet masters) he is an average man plucked from the pool of VERY FAR LEFT minded radicals and groomed for this particular change.

Look back in history to those who actually were true world movers and shakers (be they bad or good) … the true leaders DID NOT NEED A TELEPROMPTER … they spoke from a “true innate passion”.

Caroline Kennedy and Barack Obama have the same disability … it’s … ummm … ahh … stutter, stutter … while it takes several seconds to come up with the next few words in a paragraph or sentance. Obama has one edge … rehearsal and a teleprompter (most of the time) so he does not forget what comes next.

You CAN NOT … pass on or teach something if it is not part of your makeup. It’s time ! we have to FACE IT … BARACK OBAMA IS NO LEADER.
He is not doing a good job now nor will he in the future.

We the people need to stand up (before its to late and war breaks out before our eyes right here in our own back yard) and INSIST TRUE CHANGE OCCUR.

The forces of the people have been waging a assault on Obama and his health care for months now just as the allies in WWII pushed the Germans back out of France and next to the motherland. Like the allies it has been a wonderful campaign of watching the fascist in retreat. Only problem? The other side has a lot of men and material left to do battle with. And like the Battle of the Bulge the people will get a big huge smack down if they don’t take heed to the counter attack coming their way.

What does the other side have? The press. Not to be underestimated. Obama and his emotionally handicapped thugs can turn the press into vicious attack dog in a New Your minute. A few well spoken words that the attack is on and the press will vilify any opponent in its path. And it will.

59 senators and 257 congressmen and women. Legislatively they can do as they please. Fraudulent elections like in Minnesota and Washington are just a warm up for the coming fraud in 2010 and 2012 when California will gain 9 congressional seats due in large part to illegal immigration. If you think your going to get a conservative Republican sympathetic to your values think again. It ain’t going to happen. We have one party rule until succession and revolution.

Inflation. That weasel Ben Bernanke knows his role in the future. He’s the dude that will drop the inflation bomb if things get really bad for the fascist. He can destroy you overnight just like what happened in Argentina where a peso became worthless overnight. And it will happen. The bonds have been issued and the currency printed. It’s already there in place and all the weasel has to do is raise the fed funds rate. You will be destroyed and helpless. Your money worthless. Gas will be $6.00 a gallon. The deed has already been done and Bernanke is just waiting his marching orders from the chosen one. And you will suffer for your disobedience.

What do you do? Get a gun and learn how to use it inside and out. Don’t be like the 6 million Jews during Hitler’s reign that went down without a fight. If the government fights you will you win? No. You will lose but you have to ask yourself do I want to go out like the millions of Jews to the concentration camps or go down with a fight. Well which one is it? You the individual can make a difference.

Protest often and hard. I am a regular working class American like millions of others but have through hard work and my own cash been able to obtain a pretty fricking respectable education. I am fortunate that give or take a little I KNOW where this crapola is leading. We have a bunch of adult juveniles that are slowly waking up to see the coming dictatorship for what it is and those of us who saw through the junk from day one. The question is can we turn back the clock. Its 1934 Germany in America and thanks is to God for people like Glen Beck, Neal Boortz and other less intellectually gifted pundits for getting the word out ton the people. WE HAVE GOT TO MAKE ONE LAST PEACEFUL STAND!

Going to Washington DC or a local 9-12 protest is our chance to peacefully engage the imperial federal government before dissent is shut down. We can make a difference! This is your chance and you need to take advantage of it or go to your grave regretting you didn’t make a stand.

In the long run what you need to know is that the USSR broke up over being BROKE! They, the Central Committee, simply could not pay their bills. The army, civil servants, peasants all went unpaid. The USSR federal government was broke. And that is what is happening to OUR federal government. The day China and Singapore lose faith in America and stop buying our treasury notes is the day inflation will kick in and our government will be broke. USSR II. And the ground work has been accomplished by Obama, Bush and our imperial federal government.

If we get to the point where Washington cannot be rescued from itself state legislatures need to be VERY strong in the face of adversity. That day may be a year from now or 20 years from now but that day will come. State legislatures need to self segregate based on their constituents. California will be its own nation. Don’t fight it. The south and Midwest will form the most powerful new nation and the northeast will form its own union. Accept it and don’t waste men and material fighting it. Form free trade alliances and live in peace and liberty. The new motto should be “freedom for those who want to be free.”

As the Irish bastard Ted Kennedy is laid in the grave to spend the rest of his eternal life in purgatory the malcontent fascist, socialist and communist will rally and press the American people for government option health care. They have no choice. The revolution is starting to take hold and it’s not exactly the revolution they envisioned where the people of color got their reparations from the white folks. They must put white people back in their place or lose the revolution.

The politically incorrect truth is the white people of America have finally been awakened after years of wine and roses to the very real possibility that they will soon be the equivalent of serfs working for illegal immigrants and Negros. Talking the talk about equality and privilege. Givi ng Negros with an education a soft overpaid government job. Appeasing the bastards and then the realization kicks in the thugs and malcontents have real political power sets in. And the old farts go crazy. This is America and as long as the white can self segregate themselves everything was cool. Buy that $350,000 house in the suburbs and forget the cities and lower middle class. And then this Negro comes into power with all his creepy communist friends and the idea of real equality finally dawns on the fine white folks.

Where were these people when affirmative action was discriminating against better candidates in everything from the military to college? Where were the Republicans when desegregation was destroying thousands of schools and communities? Where were these white people standing up for OUR values of honesty and hard work? Where were they? Off in the suburbs ignoring it all. And now you have handed over the power of the White House to a communist educated half Negro who has every intention of following through with a dictatorship of the proletariat to achieve his goals.

And you will soon be outnumbered. Illegal immigrants swarming into California. Yea illegal immigrants with four times the crime rate and not a care about politics flooding your cities. The same losers who supported the PRI in Mexico for 90 years. One party people much like our American Negros who support the democrats 88% to 95% of the time.

As her opponents seethe, writhe and wail over governor Pailin’s every move it is business as usual in Alaska. Sarah Palin quietly goes about her business as usual much to the chagrin of those who have rabid hate for her. Personally I find this whole “OPPOSE SARAH PALIN” (from both sides of the isle) drop dead funny. Apparently the opposition is so out of touch they have no clue how “mindlessly stupid” they appear to anyone who has no vested interest one way or another in what she does.

In fact daily it is becoming more clear just how “mindlessly stupid” the majority of officials running our government have become (or always were and we just paid it no mind).

While Governor Palin was busy signing a joint resolution declaring Alaska’s sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution – and now 36 other states have introduced similar resolutions as part of a growing resistance to the federal government.

Kathleen Sebelius Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services is doing the footwork trying to foist the latest SCAM onto the citizenry of the USA. Free health care to all.

When asked by a reporter “does president Obama expect EVERYONE to pay the bill for this program?” her answer was YES. Now either the woman is totally out of touch or plainly an open faced liar.

What a surprise of late!

It certainly does not take rocket science to see why the Sarah Palin bandwagon grows daily by leaps and bounds.

If I go to Google and enter top 10 most intelligent breeds of dogs I get a whole list of responses. Border collie, poodle, German Sheppard and so forth. Conversely there is a list of the 10 least intelligent dog breeds. Very straightforward for the potential dog owner. Dogs through the centuries and through human breeding have very different characteristics. Some are hunters, predators, herders, and so forth. Breed for specific task or evolving20for their climate. So why all the fuss when it comes to humans?

One of the most controversial issues today and ever since the beginning of the republic has been the issue of Negros in American society. The founding fathers counted them as 3/5ths of a man. They were segregated into the agricultural society of the south. The north fought the south and 640,000 American young men went to their grave in a war of southern independence provoked in large part by the issue of enslaved Negros. Throughout American history Negros have been the proverbial thorns in the side of white and now Latina America. And today in America we are once again drawn apart along mostly racial lines by a communist educated half Negro president and his fascist followers.

How did we get here? In the recent past Negros were part of the Republican Party. People forget it was Republicans who fought the civil war to free the slaves and republicans who opposed Jim Crow laws in the south. Democrats after the civil war forced Negros to register as republicans. Their logic was simple. No southern white person would ever vote for a republican after Abe Lincoln freed the slaves. A republican vote was a wasted vote much like today a Libertarian Party vote is considered a wasted vote. It was a backdoor way to disenfranchise Negros.

In the 1950’s and up to the early 70’s Negros were plagued by Jim Crow laws relegating them to inferior status. Laws passed and imposed on them by racist democrats. The same people who today profess to be the defenders of Negro values and people. The same people who feverishly worked as hard as they could to set up Planned Parenthood clinics on every inner city corner to promote abortion. Quite successfully it appears since the black birth rate has declined from 38.9 per 1,000 to 15.7 per 1,000. The black abortion rate is almost double the birth rate at a whopping 28 per 1,000.

And today 88% to 95% of the time these same democrats get the Negro vote. And how did these early 20th century progressives earn this vote? Two pieces of legislation were critical. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 but far more important was the Great Society legislation by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 that opened up the welfare billions that poured into black communities creating dependence and the break up of the Negro family. In 1965 24% of blacks were born out of wedlock. Today the number hovers between 64% and 70%. A very satisfactory trade of for the early 20th century progressives (Hillary Clinton, Woodrow Wilson). 12% of the population uneducated and dependent on them keeping them in permanent positions of political power.

The same people who find Negros undesirable and would not think twice about instituting a one child policy for all undesirables. Certainly Negros and Latinas would fall into this category. The same racist democrats who put nooses around Negros in the old south and hung them by the dozens.

As a Libertarian I do not support payments to Negros or any g roup for that matter. I think if two people are going to parent they should be married and provide for the children’s welfare. I do not support child support and welfare of any kind for single and unwed mothers. It’s rewarding bad behavior. The children should go to the parent in divorce cases to the parent best able to provide for them financially. Or be put up for adoption. End of story.

What is the truth? The truth is Negros have had a hard time assimilation into north American society since they have been imported from Africa to serve as cheap labor. One civil war latter and one looming civil war on the horizon not much has changed. Negros continue to plague the rest of American society with their monopolistic voting patters, outrageous crime rates, low performing academics and inability to join mainstream America in productive and civil discourse. The communist educated half Negro president and his Marxist domestic policies only being the latest insult and attack on the rest of the non indoctrinated American society. So what is the truth?

The truth is the average Negro has an IQ of 85 and the average white guy has an IQ of 100. Poverty increases as IQ declines. 48% of the poor are in the bottom 20% of IQ. 67% of high school drop outs come from the bottom 20%. 64% of men who did not work year around are from the bottom 20%. A staggering 62% of men in jail come from the bottom 20%. Latinos have an average IQ of 93. Similar statistics as well. And w hat do these groups have in common? They overwhelmingly need and vote for politicians who will give them government services. In the last election 95% of the Negros voted for democrats a 65% of the Hispanics. Also 78% of the Jews and 62% of Asians. Whites voted for McCain by 54%.

Now can I be politically intolerant here for a minute and ask how in the hell are we white people going to have a democracy where ideas compete in the political arena when 12% of the population votes 88% to 95% of the time for anyone with a “D” next to their name? It isn’t going to happen and the sooner white folks realize it the better. Without Negros and Latinas the Democratic Party would be history. To put it bluntly low IQ minorities are killing America as we white folks known it.

What to do? In the coming years there will be a possible civil war but at the very least political violence like that experienced in France. The ghettos will fill with rage once again when Obama is given the boot. The communist have tasted power and will not give it up without a fight. So let them fight.

Form a country from the red areas and surround the violent crime riddled areas. Sign free trade agreements with the areas and let them fight it out among themselves. Why should we get involved inn their devolution into chaos? I see no need to fight their decent into anarchy. Let them do as they please.

Of course we know the outcome. Look at Africa, South America, Central America and Mexico. That what Detroit, Los Angles, Houston, Tampa, Miami and the other Negro and Latina cities will look like. So be it. Manifest destiny. Let’s plan the succession and get out of the way. Maybe in a century or two Negros wont vote 88% to 95% for the same party.

I watched the clip of Barack Obama sniveling about Fox News and its big megaphone badmouthing him.
“Boo Hoo”.
Is this the first adversity this man has encountered in his life?
This is typical narcissistic behavior “what the world does not love me as much as I love myself? Snivel, whine how can that be?
This man is SO TOTALLY OUT OF TOUCH!

This says it all about the Gangsta in the Whitehouse.

I have watched Glen Beck off and on since he hit fox news.
He apprears to be sincere and forthright when my cousin pointed me to the ambush on “THE VIEW” … I was a bit surprised at the whole 7 minutes of “YOU ARE A LIAR” the women foisted onto the view audience.

I was left with a WHY?
I made comment back then.

Well here is where the truth finally shakes out. Appaently I was not the only person troubled by the situation on a number of levels. I did not think Beck lied because I figured he was to smart to do that in front of millions when his motto is “say what you mean and mean what you say”.

So here is what finally tumbled out of the dirty “THE VIEW” laundry basket under scrutiny. Amtrac wanted the whole issue to be swept under the carpet, ABC who indeed asked for SPECIAL TREATMENT of Walters and Goldberg and GOT IT!

The outcome?
Walters is either a journalist who DOES NOT CHECK HER FACTS or is hopelessly out of touch with how ordinary people ride Amtrac.

Woopie? … I don’t know … I have always given her credit for being pretty even keeled. In this instance she was totally whacked. So why I ask?

The women OWE BECK A HUGE APOLOGY!

Will they give it?
If there is a chance I suspect it would come from at Goldbergs urging. I will not hold my breath.

You can watch the saga played out by a real journalist (Scott Baker of Breitbart TV and The B-Cast)

You be the judge.

Open letter to Bill OReilly:

It seems these days there is a strong correlation between graduating an Ivy League school and stupidity. Bill O’Reilly, Harvard graduate, appears to be the latest idiot spawned from these reportedly institutions of higher learning. I mean what the hell with Bush, Obama, Sotomayor, Al Gore and other assorted idiots who cannot think enough to get themselves out of a cardboard box with a box cuter. Why Bill O’Reilly? His comments on Supreme Court Nominee Sotomayor.

Oh god Bill yea she’s a closet conservative because she opposed federal funds for abortion and she’s okay according to Bill logic. Okay Bill for a supposed street thug back in the day you sure are coming off as some stupid city slicker to the rest of us. Here’s the down and dirty for the white folks who grew up with decent parents in the nice lily white suburbs like Bill O’Reilly.

Barack Obama is a racist. How do I know this for a fact? All black people of that generation were taught from the time they were old enough to suck a tit that whitey was bad. Whitey had screwed the black man and whitey was going to pay some day. I was one of the few people to have witnessed this first hand as the races mixed in Pontiac, Michigan in the 1970’s. Anyone remember bombed busses? Irene McCabe? George Wallace? Well I do.

When desegregation happened all the white kids were told the black kids were equal and all the black kids were told to beat up whitey and get even. And that’s pretty much how it went down. We experienced race riots and an all out race war thanks to liberal pin head judges. What was before a normal majority lower income white slightly integrated city became a war zone and soon 73% black. What was once a decent place to live is a burned out crack zone. And from this racial intolerance Obama grew up and eventually adopted this hatred of white people.

How do I know? Oh maybe his book to quote “It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere … That’s the world! On which hope sits.”

Or was it the twenty years in a Black Liberation Theology church isn’t enough of a tip off? The racist spoiled pig Michelle Obama’s comments? The only associations Obama has with white folks are gays. Communist, fascist, socialist, terrorist and an occasional screwed up Jew. Is the pattern forming? Didn’t they teach the Fibonacci sequence at Harvard? Bill?

Obama hates white people. Everything he’s done as president has been or is designed to do two things.
1. Gain power for himself and his new fascist dictatorship.
2. Weaken the power of mostly white people but specifically the rich down to the middle class. This would be the top 50% of society that pays federal taxes.

Sotomayor is a Latino racist pig with a 95 IQ. If that. Maybe 90 IQ. Just like Obama she rode her skin color to where she is today. She hates white people and would rule on the Supreme Court cases based on race not the law. In other words dull boy Harvard educated Bill she’s an emotionally handicapped idiot that should be serving lunch in the public school cafeteria. Give me 100 average white guys and any test you want, a reasonable study time for the 100 average white guys and Sotomayor, and guaranteed 80% to 90% of these average white guys will score better than the Latina lunch chick. That’s the cold hard reality of it.

This Latina lunch woman chick is the problem with affirmative action. Why is this low IQ racist lady even a judge let alone seriously considered for the Supreme Court? This is insanity. Argue all you want to against Souter or Ginsburg they have the intellect to serve. This racist punk Latina bitch lunch lady doesn’t.

And then we get into the GOP is racist if they oppose the Latina racist blab bla bla. Hey Bill did you notice that fascist in the White House lately? You think the Republicans should really give a crap if they are called racist? Really? If I was a Republican, and I am not, I wouldn’t mind being called a racist. I mean what the hell difference does it make when my electric bill will be going up $2,000, my gas bill $1,500 and my purchases 25% with a value added tax. Some Latino just used the government as an instrument of plunder and they just plundered my wallet for $10,000 to support their life of idleness and breeding opportunities. Call me a racist.

Look Bill if you’re too stupid or old to see Hitler over there to the south of you consolidation power and getting his dictatorship in order please do Fox a favor and resign. Yea Bill that fascist thug in the White House really is out to screw up the United States and harm our people, especially white dudes like you. It’s the biggest story in your life time right under your nose and you choose to play some middle of the road milquetoast cutie city slicker cuddling up to the other milquetoast republicans and democrats.

Wise up dude. The chick is a racist and should be treated as such. Obama and his crew are fascist. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

One needs to apply some common sense in watching this President in the now past 100 days of service to this country.

I read something put forward by Joseph Farah this morning and I stopped to think. Does any of this honestly make sense to you?

• If you held a job and people were questioning your qualifications, and all you had to do to put an end to those questions, not to mention more than a dozen lawsuits filed against you, was to produce a valid birth certificate you claimed to possess, would you refuse to take that simple step? Or would you, as Obama has done, spend at least $1 million to fight the lawsuits? I think most people would agree that someone who chose the latter is either crazy or doesn’t have a valid birth certificate.
• Let’s say you got a job in which you succeeded someone with whom you disagreed passionately.Would you try to have that person prosecuted over those differences, knowing that some day, someone with whom you disagree would succeed you and possibly contemplate the same course of action? That’s what Obama talked about doing in the case of his disagreement with George W. Bush over the practice of coercive interrogations – policies, I might point out, that were employed not just by his immediate predecessor, but by every war-time president in the history of the United States.
• Or what do you make of Obama’s efforts to ban the use of the words “terror” and “terrorism” from his administration’s lexicon? The administration prefers to call attacks on terrorists “overseas contingency operations.” And terrorist attacks at home are referred to as “man-caused disasters.” These new terms are apparently considered less offensive to terrorists.
• While there are hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens voluntarily serving in arms overseas, the Obama administration put out a report to law enforcement agencies throughout the country to be wary of returning veterans, because they might be more inclined to get involved in “right-wing extremist” activities.
• Obama presides – legitimately or illegitimately – over a nation founded on the ideals of “independence” and “national sovereignty.” Yet, in a speech given in Prague, what was his prescription for making the world a better place? “All nations must come together to build a stronger, global regime,” he said.
• How about his solution to an economic crisis spurred by too much indebtedness? More debt.
• Let’s say you’re the first black president. Do you appoint a black attorney general who indicts the people who just elected you as a “nation of cowards” on matters of race?
• Imagine appointing to a top policy position at the Defense Department, a columnist from the Los Angeles Times who believes U.S. policies were to blame for the 9/11 attacks by al-Qaida. That would be Rosa Brooks, who also previously referred to Obama’s immediate predecessor as “our torturer in chief ” and a “psychotic who need(s) treatment” while comparing Bush’s arguments for waging a war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler’s use of political propaganda.

Personally I continue to waver between:
“Is this guy NUTS?”
“You have got to be kidding!”
and
“We are so screwed!”

Something that’s been bothering me since Obama has gotten elected besides the fact that he’s an emotionally handicapped communist nut case that is. Yea that something is political correctness. Obama is a great political reader of the teleprompter maybe the best there ever was. Most of the time his body movements and gestures are fluid and graceful like Manute Bol on steroids and ecstasy. Still for all his grace his tall skinny frame makes him look awkward. And with Michelle next to him they look like a couple from the past, 1968 to be exact.

I had a conversation with my mother about this resemblance and she was aghast with horror. She said I was a racist for saying such a thing which is par for most liberals when they hear an inconvenient truth with a racial aspect to it. I reminded her that people made the same EXACT comparison with former President Bush. Of course that comparison was comparing George Bush to a chimpanzee.

Who can forget the 5,253,114 hits Bill Feldspar got on his web site showing side by side pictures of Bush and chimpanzees. Or Dr. Michael I. Niman showing a picture of a chimp and stating that the chimp would be a better president than George Bush. And the entire photo shopped photos depicting Bush as part chimpanzee. And even DougUK superimposing Bush’s face on a chimp. Yea all that was fine because Bush was a white male who believed in Jesus. Not a problem for the fascist on the left. My dear mother even gave me some refrigerator magnets depicting Bush as half man half chimp.

After my mother scolded me about being a racist I pointed out the double standard and like most liberals she was somewhat confused and had no rational explanation. Finally realizing the impossibility of her position said it was wrong no matter what. Hmmm didn’t hear any racist cries coming from her or any liberals when Bush was compared to a chimp. So in the interest of fair play I want to get this off my chest and not be a coward when it comes to race relations as Attorney General Eric Holder has recommended. I will follow our affirmative action United States Attorney Generals advice and not be a coward in expressing my views on race. I strongly feel if this treatment was good enough for the white guy its good enough for the half Negro guy.

First thing about Obama is he reminds me of Cornelius in the 1968 version of Planet of the Apes. For those who don’t remember or haven’t seen the movie Dr. Cornelius was the doctor studying the humans with his companion Dr. Zira. They were the equivalent of wimpy liberals today. Cornelius showed some stubbornness as are most males and had to be prodded into accepting that humans were intelligent animals by Zira.

“Look Cornelius Bright Eyes is trying to say something.”

“Don’t be ridiculous humans cant speak”

“But look he IS trying to communicate.”

And so the movie went. A bunch of stupid apes chasing down the more intelligent humans, capturing them and enslaving the poor creatures for the rest of their natural existence.

So much reminds me of the Marxist in the White House today chasing down all the wealth creators, capturing them and enslaving the survivors into perpetual purgatory. Weeding out the strong ones that can do the labor for the ruling class and killing off the smaller weak ones. The movie fits the reality we are living today. Sorry if that’s politically incorrect but that’s what I am thinking Mr. Attorney General Holder. The stupid apes are in charge of the White House and the head chimp just keeps reading that teleprompter until all the humans are in cages and under control.

Now I will not say Obama is dumber than a chimp or a chimp in the White House would be better like liberal jerk said about Bush. And I really don’t want to compare Michelle Obama to Dr. Zira in the movie. No they are totally different beast. Dr. Zira was intelligent and compassionate. Qualities Michele lacks and has displayed to the nation on several occasions. No Michelle is more like a spoiled indulgent brat that is throwing a temper tantrum against all the white folks who scored higher on test and look more beautiful than herself. Now that her man is in power she’s going to make all those nasty evil white folks pay the price for her shortcomings. Using Marxism to justify her actions of course as any good totalitarian asshole does. Got to hide your own shortcomings somehow right Michele?

Michele was recently bragging about poetry reading in the White House opps “people’s house.” Poetry reading? The people’s house? WTF Michelle. We know you hate strait white folks so just do as Attorney General Eric holder suggest and don’t be a coward. You can tell us white folk you hate our guts. We can take it. Not a problem.

Also Michelle your not stoned on pot and 19 anymore. What I would guess you’re in your 40’s and have children right? Do the words Amy Carter ring a bell? There a reason 40 somethings act 40 something Michele. You would be wise to do the same.

No I don’t really want to dig too bad on the spouse of the president. But I know what the lady is thinking. Another emotionally handicapped Marxist thug wanna be.

And so let the discussion begin. I hope Mr. Attorney General Eric Holder is proud of me. I let it out Mr. Holder. Please don’t call me a coward. Be careful what you wish for Mr. Holder it might come true.

I love Ann Coulter.

Her latest rant is directed at those who consider waterboarding a war crime.

It is my firm belief that every one of these waterboard protesters would in a hot new york minute waterboard anyone who had information that would save THEIR loved one. If they say they would not?
You can count on one thing THEY LIE!

Its pretty easy to be an idéologue when someone elses ass is on the line and yours or those you care about is not.

Is Henican a hypocrite?

HERE is the Coulter article.

Myths about the Great Depression were once a mere annoyance. Now they have become a source for tyranny. The Bush-Obama response to the meltdown proves that one thing is certain: until we get the history of the 1930s right, liberty will be under threat of those trying to repeat the drama.

Thank goodness Robert Murphy has come along to straighten out the mess in a way that everyone can understand. In this hard-hitting book, we find the most accessible and most truth-telling book about the Great Depression and the New Deal that has ever been written.

Free-market economists have been working for decades to make the record of the calamity clear. This book may just be the magic bullet we’ve been looking for to kill off the myths before they kill us.

He puts together in one easy package the research of hundreds of scholars, showing that it was not capitalism that failed in 1929 but the boom times created by Fed credit expansion. Murphy takes aim at the Chicago School economists and the Keynesians who continued to be in denial on this central point.

A particularly great feature here for Austrians dealing with monetarist myths: Murphy explains that the deflation in the 1930s didn’t have to be somehow devastating. It was not egregious by historical standards, and was fully compatible with economic growth. In fact, the Fed tried but failed to flood the economy with money in the 1930s. Here Murphy provides a very compelling explanation of fractional-reserve banking and its effect on the supply of money.

He further shows that Hoover was not a free-market president. His policies were so statist that he might as well have been a Soviet agent. His biggest critic, who blasted him for his spending and centralization, was none other than FDR. But once FDR came to power, he enacted the longest string of cockamamie, prosperity-killing measures of any president in American history.

The economy still hadn’t recovered going into World War II, a war that didn’t help the economy or get us out of the Great Depression. It prolonged the government-made pain.

Murphy dissects the real history here with facts, analysis, clear prose, suggestions for further reading, fantastic quotations from all the main players, and even when he is discussing complicated data, he never leaves the reader behind.

Murphy concludes his book by recounting what led to the current crash. And wraps it all up with an excellent criticism of Bush-Obama and predicts that their policies will prolong problems.

This book appears as part of Regnery’s “Political Incorrect Guide” series but, in fact, this account is not biased in any particular direction. It is just good history, accurate history, truth-telling history that we have to know to navigate the treacherous waters of today’s economic and political environment.

Capitalists everywhere should have this on their bookshelf and in their briefcase.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal (The Politically Incorrect Guides)

(272 pages, paperback, 2009 ISBN: 9781596980969)

Who is this man Barack Obama?
The truth is NO ONE KNOWS.
No one that is … other than those who manufactured him.
All of his records have been sealed.
Someone is paying huge bucks to keep that material from public view.
WHY?

There are probably a myriad of reasons which all boil to one point … he is a fraud. If this were not true the records to confirm his credibility would have been opened long before now.

So what do we know about Obama?

We know the Obama campaign promised “Hope” and “Change,” but delivered neither.

For what purpose?
Could it be global governance?

G20 meets on April 2 in London.
The most important goal of the global governance advocates is an independent income stream for the United Nations. Another very important goal is to gain international control of the global economy through the regulation of capital flows, currency and trade.

Is the USA the target of this new income stream?
You bet!
Both Obama (in his campaign speech in Berlin) and Geithner (global currency) have signaled the world of interest in global governance.

Watch out for taxes on fossil-fuel energy.
We the workers of the USA are expected to be the slaves in this global governance plan.
Obama and his minions have already pledged our children and grandchildren with bail outs and stimulus.

WHO IS THE REAL PUPPET MASTER?

The rest of the nation dismissed the Libertarians and Ron Paul as the un-hip crowd. The Jews voted 78% for the new messiah. The Negros voted for the dictator by 95%. Asians voted 62% for the dictator. Only the whites voted for McCain with 55% of the vote. Protestants were the only religion to vote against the dictator with 54% of the vote. The poor, rich highly educated Jews and uneducated overwhelmingly voted for Obama. Where have we seen this story before?
This past week we got a glimpse of the new Brown Shirt strong arm of the Obama Administration in the form of ACORN. Bus loads of fascist and Black Liberation Theology scum went into the neighborhoods of AIG executives to intimidate them. Pretty much the same as Hitler thugs terrorizing Jewish shop owners. Our first taste of the Obama thugs in real life. Get use to it and get armed.

This make no mistake is a final push from inside and outside the USA to enslave the White Anglo Saxon Protestant people of America. No other race or religion shares our values of individual liberty and justice for all. No one. We are alone against a world of thugs dedicated to the destruction of liberty and freedom emanating from the United States to the rest of the world.
If you have white guilt you better get rid of it real quick. Forces are being assembled as fast as possible to jail, kill and enslave you economically and physically. You are going to fight or become a slave. It’s that simple.

60 days and we have seen our thug president lie at press conferences about fiscal discipline and other minutia. We have seen his thugs in action. We know he believes in Black Liberation Theology. He is a student of Islamic terrorist and Carl Marx. Time to get your head out of your ass and accept the facts. America’s Hitler is in the White House and its 1933. The clock is ticking.

You need to know there will be a lot of inflation and unemployment purposely brought onto you from both the democrats and republicans. War will visit America once again. Obama and his thugs will not be afraid to draft your kids. Your kids will be in Obama youth corps and sent off to war to die in foreign lands. This is what dictators are about and this is what dictators do.
We have about 100 decent congressmen and women and about 15 decent senators left. The rest are Obots who will follow the dictator to the bloody end. Get use to that idea.

Republicans are not your friend. Republicans serve the propose of letting people vent and then turning them over to the police. They are a false hope and will let you down every time. They have been corrupted. John Boehner is totally corrupted and should be treated with the same scorn and contempt as Nancy Pelosi or Diane Feinstein. The revolution will not come from the Republican Party.

Everyone ask themselves what they would do if they were in Germany in 1933 and Hitler was in power? Run? Fight the secret fight? Write? Well now for Americans it’s no longer hypothetical. We have our Hitler. And instead of the Jews it will be the White Anglo Saxon Protestants the Negros and Jews hate so much. Race wars suck but Obama sat in a Black Liberation Theology church for 20 years soaking up the hate. Obama not me.

It really sucks to talk in such racial terms. We all know people in Costa Rica, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, India, China, and Japan and throughout the world who cherish and love individual liberty and freedom. And if these people only voted for and supported politicians with those values we would all be better off. But that’s not what happens in the real world and we all need to stop deluding ourselves that we are all on the same side. We are not.

Look at the world. See any thriving all black democracies in Africa? How about South America? A few here and there. Europe is being taken over by the Islamic fascist. Asia? Japan and Korea countries where the USA set up their governments. No the idea of individual liberty and justice for all is a white man thing. Capitalism and free markets are a white mans thing. The rest of the world is annoyed by it and now they and Obama are out to kill liberty and freedom for another 600 years. The Dark Ages will return.

So what will you do? Organize protest? Tea partiers and tax protest are great organizers and fun. But protestors are easily wiped out and people arrested. What do millions of Jews who were exterminated wish they could tell you now that you face the same fate as they suffered?

What would millions of Jews have done if they had a second chance? Escape would be the most obvious answer. Escape to America. And for our youth escaping to Alaska is an alternative location to regroup against the tyrant to the south.
What about the older generation with property and responsibilities? Millions of older Jews were killed in Hitler’s gas chambers. What would they tell us today? I would suspect arm yourselves and be ready to fight. One loner taking on Obama’s ACORN Black Liberation Theology thugs isn’t much but a few hundred thousand sure would make an impact. Imagine if in 1933 the millions of Jews destined for the gas chambers decided to resist in any manner they could. Would it have changed history? Probably not but it sure would have put the fear of God into the NAZI bastards as they rounded up the Jews for slaughter.

How many millions of dead Jews if they had a chance to go back to 1933 would have prepared differently? How many would have responded differently to that knock on the door by the local SS officer informing them that they are to leave town immediately? How many dreamed of a chance to retaliate as they were being shipped off to their deaths?
Obama is a thug who hates white people. He will create inflation and war with China to get what he really wants. A dictatorship like FDR had from 1933 to 1944. Some pundits like the dim witted Carl Rove pretend Obama is done in 4 years because the economy will stink and be lot worse than today. False. FDR had an average unemployment rate of 17.2% and was re-elected three times. Make no mistake like Chavez in Venezuela Obama is your dictator for the foreseeable future.

So ask yourself what are you going to do about it?

The federal government is well on its way to dictatorship. Controlling 20% of the economy doesn’t seem to satisfy the incompetent idiots in Washington and soon they will be going for more. Socialized medicine will add 16% of the economy into the federal sector. Banks another 10%. Why not go for the auto industry? And of course the bail out are already pushing the federal government’s involvement into the economy up to 22%. And of course this does not count the state and local governments 20% control of their share of the economy. Add it all up and you’re looking at government control over 70% of the economy. And there you have it. The socialist promise and then the fascist boot up the ass.

The founding fathers knew of monopolies and government control of business and literally revolted. The Boston Tea Party was a tax payer revolt plain and simple. We never had a federal income tax until 1913. Never had a permanent federal bank until 1913. And we prospered as a nation. No Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Section 8 Housing or any federal programs. Welfare was a local concern for the local politicians and religious organizations. Exactly as the founding fathers had envisioned for our country. Now we have dictatorship frantically striving to consolidate power.

When this government eventually collapses in the future here is the amendments I would like to see.

28th Amendment. Repeal of the 16th amendment allowing a federal income tax. Prohibiting all forms of taxation except the national sales tax or “Fair Tax.” No tariffs or user fees. Nothing but a national sales tax would be allowed for the federal government.

29th Amendment. Term limits for all federal workers to twelve years including members of the house, senate and the president to 8 years excluding military personal. Why do we want career federal employees? Let them get a job in the private sector and work for a change. Only military personal would be exempt.

30th Amendment. Prohibition of the federal government from legislating, taxing or paying for social engineering programs. Prohibit the federal government from making any private citizen payments except in the case of wrongful deprivation of a persons or companies life, liberty or property. Social Security is bust. Medicare and Medicaid will drop this country like a rock into debt. Housing for the poor is a horrible disaster. Time to let the state and local governments do the social engineering. We don’t need no federal education. We don’t need no thought control.

31st Amendment. Prohibit federal courts from ruling on all social engineering programs set up by the states. Legislating from the bench is very destructive. Time for it to end.

32nd Amendment. Prohibiting all federal and state government financing and legislating local primary and secondary school. Get out of our schools. We don’t need indoctrination from flunkies who failed calculus. Let the people run the schools at the local level.

33rd Amendment. Prohibit all unionization of federal, state and local government workers. We know the track record of unions. We see General Motors and Chrysler on the news everyday. Bankruptcy and bail outs are nothing to be proud of or encourage.

34th Amendment. Prohibit the federal government from regulating any and all drugs. Drug laws should be at the local level. I mean really does anyone in his or her right mind think the “War on Drugs” has accomplished anything except getting people killed and spreading violence? Take a look at Mexico and the killing down there. Soon to be crossing the border into the United States. Prohibition doesn’t work and never has. Grow up.

35th Amendment. Any citizen convicted of three felonies will immediately receive a vasectomy or tubal ligation. Any citizen with children that required government assistance will immediately receive a vasectomy or tubal ligation. If you can’t feed them then don’t breed them.

36th Amendment. Voting in federal and state elections is limited to persons receiving a four year college degree at an accredited university, home ownership or business ownership with gross receipts over $250,000 adjusted annually for inflation. US citizenship must be proved to the satisfaction of a court of law. Local elections are open to all persons 18 and older including foreign residences residing in the local communities. Federal and state election must be held on different days than local elections. We have all had enough of the Obama 20 year old idiots out to save the world voting and screwing up our politicians into mindless zombies searching for the next few billion to hand out. If you’re stupid or ignorant you shouldn’t vote. It’s that simple.

I am sure there are a few more and when the next revolution comes those areas of the country fortunate enough to have decent people like our founding fathers should learn from the demise of our government and adopt these principles. Large federal governments lead to dictatorship and catastrophe. The only legitimate function of the federal government is to have a first class military and settle disputes between states. All the social engineering needs to be done at the state or local level. As it was in the past.

I am a little tired of listening to ‘black politicians’ denigrate their own race and then turn around and denigrate whites because they themselves were born black.

Boo FRIGGING Hoo!
Part of these idiots were still in pampers while a MAJORITY of US WHITES were marching for their very equality and right to stand on some pulpit and spout this total trash.

Who am I referring to specifically today?

South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn. As the highest-ranking black in the U.S. House, he said that opposition to the stimulus bill is “a slap in the face of African-Americans.”

Hey you small minded twit … how about it’s a slap in the face of EVERY TAX PAYER who is FORCED to pay for this folly?

Then Eric Holder has the audacity to call us a nation of cowards?
HOW DARE YOU! If it was not for this nation of cowards you would NOT HAVE the soapbox from which you spout today.

What this man says about sums it up far better than I ever could.

What others have to say via Michael Savage talk radio:

Let me again remind visitors to this site of my opinion on several things.
Politically Correct was a miserable attempt by the ‘whiners of the world’ to continue in their cushy rut of ‘failing to thrive and survive in a tough world’.

EVERY minority group will have someone or some many who have an agenda that dooms that minority group to mediocrity.

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and their likes have an agenda to keep minorities slaves to the system.

Let me point out the hierarchy to this system.
Government = Slave owners
Slaves = those on the government dole … who today are required to do nothing period.
Share Croppers = those of us paying taxes to the government in order for the government to pass it on to the slaves who do nothing.

To top it off the SLAVE OWNERS (politicians) … are siphoning of a handsome sum (they ALSO DOING NOTHING) for perpetuating this growing of slave population.

Inertia spawns inertia.
There is a UNIVERSAL LAW … if you do nothing, NOTHING HAPPENS.

“We hate you guys. Once you start issuing $1 trillion $2 trillion … we know the dollar is going to depreciate, so we hate you guys but there is nothing much we can do”.
Lou Ping, China Banking Regulatory Commission.

The one thing China CAN DO is say no to loaning us the money we need for this ‘porky pig stimulus package’.
Face it America this is NO STIMULUS … lets call a spade a spade. This has turned into a lunatic Democratic SPENDING SPREE fully condoned by Barack Obama.

What has Barack Obama turned in to … or has he simply been this all along?
What happened to the transparency? The time to check things out? The debate and coming to a bipartisan consensus?

I have heard the public say “oh … he has only been in office 3 weeks give him a chance”.
A CHANCE TO DO WHAT?
LEARN TO BE A LEADER?
TAKE CONTROL OF THE RENEGADE PARTY THAT IS FAST DESTROYING HIM?

Daily I sit here in disbelief.
I am dumbfounded that what is going on in our government is actually occurring.
It takes all of my strength to keep from bursting into tears of frustration over the new events we are daily facing.

The television draws me like a magnet to what one feels by being drawn to a horrible accident where you are helpless to do anything but watch. It takes every ounce of my strength to muster the will to read, research and pound these blog posts out. I remind myself moment to moment the worth of any of this is to show others they are not alone. If there is one sound in the night there will at least be one.

A friend said the other day … I looked at your blog to see if there were other posts but yours. In digging to understand that statement the outcome was there were 3 of us out of the registered 7 … which apparently were not enough to join in. After thinking seriously about this I determined that was fine. If there is just ONE interested person out of the average 130 per day (average this month so far) visitors who gets one tiny thing? … mission accomplished.

I am not a formally educated woman. I do not have a degree in anything but perhaps hard knocks. I am simply and average citizen just like all of you. We at least should be smart enough to see the trillions that are so UNTHINKINGLY plucked from thin air are NOT going to solve the problems we in America face much less the crisis now to be made worse by the renegade spending spree foisted on us all.

First and foremost the financial crisis we face IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
The true problem is the lack of ethics and moral fiber of those who we put in charge of running this nation.

I did not vote for Obama.
I did however hope he would come through with what he said he would. Not only am I sorely disappointed I see the demeanor of those who honestly HOPED, TRUSTED AND EXPECTED this man to be EXACTLY what he said he was. What is going to happen when those trusting people realize that no matter what this man says HE CAN NOT PRODUCE THOSE PROMISES and HE IS NOT the person with the metal he claimed have or be?

This very morning I was discussing this with my cousin (who on most core issues is like minded).
It is natural for people to survive better if they understand and prepare for something.
Today the people of this UNITED STATES are heading for a train wreck.
It might not happen tomorrow afternoon BUT IT WILL HAPPEN.
Almost everyone in the MSM is willing to either soft peddle or is ignorant to the gravity of the subject period.

Who is going to fair best when the brick wall is met?
Those prepared for the worst and hope for a miracle that keeps the worst at bay … or those who did/could not see what was coming their way?

I saw Glenn Beck discuss with Bill O’Reilly the D & R of our future.
His interpretation was not Democrat and Republican but Depression and Revolution.
THIS IS NOT 1930.
The people are different. We still have slavery. There are great numbers who are slaves to the government taking care of them on some level. This time the slaves are multi-colored NOT JUST BLACK.

The irony of Barack Obama being the first black president is HE A HALF BLACK MAN is perpetuating that slavery. He is just as guilty as his historical kinsmen who rounded up their own people and sold them to the white land owners in America.
Instead of SLAVERY it is now GOVERNMENT NANNY.
THE RESULT IS THE SAME NO MATTER WHAT THE NAME MIGHT BE.
SLAVES NONE THE LESS!

WHAT A CRYING PITY!

Barack Obama WAS HANDED on a SILVER PLATTER every TOOL NECESSARY to emerge THE NOTED HERO OF THIS CENTURY.
To date he has miserably blown that opportunity.
Why? He is heavily influenced by a ‘tiny man’ Rahm Emanuel (Obama’s right hand man) and a ‘witless’ female speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi.

In the computer hardware world the best equipment only functions at the level of the lesser equipment. Today that is the case with Obama and his staff. If he were the best of the best … that best is lessened and degraded by those who are less around him. Unfortunate he either does not understand that or does not have the guts to correct it.

What happened to what I perceived to be an honest, well spoken, man of high ideals?
Just who is pulling the strings behind the scenes in our white house today?
Barack Obama’s own party are/will destroy that divinely given opportunity for greatness.

Again I say WHAT A CRYING PITY!

Clearly the ‘Washington Wingnuts’ have forgot just who pays their over inflated salaries.

I just emailed a friend that daily when I boot my laptop I feel like a deer hunter with a stampeding herd of bucks headed my way and do not know which I need for dinner. The government has more crap going on than the proverbial Christmas Goose.

Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor Tuesday was quick to malign the public for burning the telephone wires to a frazzle over the PORK FILLED bill trudging to completion so it can serve as the next “OBAMA PHOTO OP” for the slobbering masses. While the ‘midget minded’ San Fran Nan insists there are NO ‘pet projects or ear marks’. I am not sure who is the parrot Obama or Pelosi on this issue. It does not matter except clearly both think the population is below stupid to believe either one of them.

We the people are now relegated to the ‘chattering class’ which sort of reminds me of the comment ‘let them eat cake’ uttered by Marie-Antoinette before she was marched to the guillotine.

Daily it is more clear this renegade government feels they are comfortable thieves in charge.
This tiny trillion? What can they be thinking. How about a resounding THEY ARE NOT. I suppose the next thing that comes to mind is do they have the capability to put more than one THINKING word together in order to form a sentence. PROBABLY NOT!

Obama asks “what’s wrong with replacing the government fleet of cars with new green ones”?
Gee how about the GOVERNMENT IS BROKE? Or fine fund it out of your OWN POCKET … in fact pass the collection plate starting with Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank and anyone else thinking this is a stunningly great idea? Maybe ask Geitner and Daschel to kick in the penalties they both WERE NOT REQUIRED OR FAILED to pay on their little tax frauds?

Let’s see what we still have:

$300 million for new “green” golf carts for government workers … now that is certainly a must have while the private sector scrambles for their next scrambled egg for the family.

The Los Angeles-to-Las Vegas magnetic levitation train … Harry Reid’s PET PROJECT … is defined as what now? Oh I get it an emergency solution to the problem at hand … you know the loss of jobs, homes and food?

$1 billion was added back for Prevention & Wellness Programs, including STD education.

Is it becoming evident here these politicians are tossing around BILLIONS OF OUR MONEY as if it were nothing.

I say today and will continue to say. WE THE PEOPLE need to apply some BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION here.
INSIST those who think up this PORK fund it themselves out of their very own pockets starting with OBAMA himself.

Take a look at this little snip from Chuck Schumer on the stimulus.

At what point did Schumer fall out of the loop? Is he simply deluded or somehow has he failed to notice the majority of people in the USA DO NOT WANT THIS PACKAGE!

I am a little behind the times politically today and maybe that is a good thing. I did take the time to watch Barack Obama deliver his first press conference. I tried the best I could to listen as an ordinary citizen (of which I would normally claim to be). ONLY today I have made the effort to be a ‘better informed citizen’ spending hours reading the constitution, pouring through economy sites and many other reference sites to try and figure out what lies ahead of us as a people in the USA and the world.

First things first. Trying objectively to listen to what Obama had to say as a citizen I thought BRAVO! This is exactly what the average citizen wants to hear. It had hope, drive, determination and optimism to get HIS JOB DONE.

I am a fairly savvy internet woman. I know what drives the internet and must say SOMEONE taught Obama well. I do not for one moment think he picked this up on his own. He is an excellent speaker (providing he is well prepped) and has a calm demeanor of authority.

What I also noticed were the stress line in his face. It is easy to see he is NOT AT ALL HAPPY with the turn of events these last couple of weeks. He emphasized more than once he inherited this problem which is true. However insinuating the Republicans (or opposition) is at fault is blatantly false.

Anyone with over a gnats brain capacity understands the forcing of the banks to loan housing money to people not qualified was the first domino pushed over in this current crisis. Who is to blame there? I would say just about everyone on both sides of the isle.

I can easily see how the average Joe who is busy fighting for the next house payment, dinner on the table for his 2 kids, wife, dog and cat could easily be seduced into a false calm. YES THE GOVERNMENT is the only one who can fix this.

Once the dust settled and my ‘ordinary citizen’ mindset lifted and ‘logic, reality and common sense’ crept back in I found myself saying HOGWASH!

THIS CAN NOT WORK. It does not take rocket science. Are not these people smart enough to understand this?
The answers are these:
1. Yes they do.
2. No they don’t
3. They do not care.

All of those answers make everyone supporting this particular bill a governmental FLOP.

None of those bode well for the USA citizen … NONE of us.

This is the bottom line.
I have always considered myself a share the wealth spender … meaning I kept my money churning … buy, buy, buy … whatever, whenever, wherever. Need it or not. I AM NOT RICH … probably as average as anyone. My husband says I am witless where money is concerned. From his perspective (the very conservative investor) he is absolutely right.

I want to scream at Obama … don’t you get it you half-wit? (I know name calling is not very nice but it is what I feel)
I as a citizen who is very free to spend … I REFUSE TO SPEND ONE DIME on anything but a necessity for now.
I DO NOT TRUST YOU!
I DO NOT TRUST THE BANKS!
I CERTAINLY DO NOT TRUST THE STOCK MARKET!

Now maybe it would be wise to understand that one grandmother may not be a bother to you and your stimulus want/need … but there are millions of us out here who think JUST LIKE ME.

I trust one thing … ME … MY ABILITY TO SURVIVE IN SPITE OF YOU!
I only hope there are enough of ME’s out there to withstand, kick, scream and stop you in orchestrating our destruction.

The biggest obstacle we (like me) face is the disbelief and denial that any of this could happen here in the USA.
Wake up folks … you are seeing this (up close and personal) for the first time on this level in our history.
If “we the people” do not quell this socialistic take over then none of us have anyone to blame but ourselves.

Here is what you face.
THERE ARE NOT going to be CREATED EVEN 500,000 jobs in the next few months. Instead you will see MORE SOUND SOLID business fail. What is passed so far WILL NOT create jobs immediately. We are no longer a nation creating much of anything. We are at the mercy of China, Mexico and any number of other countries for a good part of our food.
What is going to happen when those shortages begin to happen?
You think it can not happen here to us in the USA?
Well think again!

My brother said something interesting the other day.
“People think I am crazy for preparing for the worst … I tell them I would rather be prepared and nothing happen than have it happen and be stuck.”

Have you all considered maybe the WORST never visits those prepared?

The worst of what is happening here is NOT how indebted our children and grandchildren are going to be when this is all over.

THE WORST IS OUR GOVERNMENT IS RUNNING RENEGADE AGAINST 67% WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND NO ONE IN THE GOVERNMENT IS PAYING CARES.

Yesterday I was drawn to the TV in order to watch the presidential inauguration … one of the more historic moments in my time.
A half black man was elected President of the United States of America. That in itself is a minor miracle to one who looks back 67 years in time.

I have to say this is the first time in my life I was interested enough to watch most of an inauguration of any past President. Barack Obama’s speech was one of the most inspirational I have yet to hear. It reminded me somewhat of a speech by John F. Kennedy where the famous “ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do of your country” was born. All of the ‘hope’ pieces directed at the populace were there … certainly something that the mass could cling to for ‘hope of positive change’.

So what if the moment was a little tarnished by an 87-year-old civil rights pioneer, Rev. Joseph Lowery, during the inauguration benediction when asking God to help mankind work for a day when “white would embrace what is right”.
Apparently Rev. Lowery is to old to remember where he came from and where he is today … ALL achieved by the majority of whites who worked so hard by the side of blacks in order to usher in that change. Otherwise Lowery and his issue might still be behind a horse drawn plow in some Louisiana cotton field of old.

So what if the occasion were further tarnished by those in the crowd chanting ‘boo’ to President Bush, his wife Laura, Vice President Chaney and his wife Lynn?

We must be reminded this bad behavior is indicative of the ‘warped character’ sported by a ‘minority left fringe’. Unfortunately this fringe would vote for Mickey Mouse … the silver lining was Obama was there instead.

What I found disappointing was Barack Obama snickered at (Rev. Lowery) and ignored the ‘boo chant’ of a fringe that he mistakenly thinks love him.
Obama missed the opportunity to stop EVERYTHING in its tracks and in reality be as great as a majority expects him to be. Instead he showed his own lack of character by failing to respond to ‘right is right’. We are lead by example not by words alone.

Do you think maybe ‘we the people’ should expect someone who ‘walks the walk’ instead of simply blathers on about ‘hope and change’?

For me what overshadowed this whole historic moment was when Barack Obama placed his hand on the Lincoln bible and swore to uphold the Constitution of the USA.

WHAT A CROCK!

What kind of light is shed on the character of a man who knows he does not qualify as a ‘natural born citizen’ (AS REQUIRED BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA) but pretends he does anyway?

What does it say about the character of those who claim to love our nation and the Constitution (the foundation of this country) when they sit idle and say/do nothing?

We expect this man is capable to lead us where?

This commentary has NOTHING to do with politics … it has everything to do with character and ethics, which clearly is sorely lacking in our government today.

So ‘we the people’ are saddled for 4 years with someone who spouts “hope and change” while being void of character and ethics?

This is THE JOKE OF THE CENTURY!

I have been watching this Franken situation since election day.
Today I stumbled onto an article by Ann Coulter.

She is caustic no doubt about it. Funny certainly! Rabidly hated by the left who generally have no comeback other than name calling. All of this as she blows them off and laughs all the way to the bank. Apparently her books are evenly read by both sides of the political isle.
Clearly she is not “politically correct” which gives her “kudos” in my book. So I just dashed out to order an autographed copy of her latest “Guilty” … I trust it will not be dull or disappointing.

Her read on the situation and as always you decide what to make of it.

It’s bad enough that the Republican Party can’t prevent Democrats from voting in its primaries and saddling us with the New York Times’ favorite Republican as our presidential nominee. If the Republican Party can’t protect an election won by the incumbent U.S. senator in Minnesota, there is no point in donating to the Republican Party.

The day after the November election, Republican Sen. Norm Coleman had won his re-election to the U.S. Senate, beating challenger Al Franken by 725 votes.

Then one heavily Democratic town miraculously discovered 100 missing ballots. And, in another marvel, they were all for Al Franken! It was like a completely evil version of a Christmas miracle.

As strange as it was that all 100 post-election, “discovered” ballots would be for one candidate, it was even stranger that the official time stamp for the miracle ballots printed out by the voting machine on the miracle ballots showed that the votes had been cast on Nov. 2 – two days before the election.

Whole story …

One of the things that drives me crazy is watching the tremendous amount of ignorance the public has about taxes. I have seen politicians, media, private foundations and my own relatives state as absolute fact things I know the be absolutely false. I try to explain in a rational manner what the truth is and it’s useless. People think “logically.” As one who has had years of math classes I and anyone else in that situation quickly gets burned and receives an “F” for thinking “logically.” It is best to pause and think about things a little more thoroughly.

And so it is in public life. We have so many examples of herd mentality. Herd mentality based on emotion. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were inspired by the feeling that all people should be given a chance at the American dream. Emotionally it really makes sense. Why not? Yes we can! But hundreds of thousands of defaulted mortgages later we all realize, even the most ardent supporter of Fannie and Freddie, that maybe more thought should have went into regulation and oversight.

And so it is with taxes. We now owe 10 trillion in debt. Hell, even I don’t know what that is. $40,000 per man, woman and child? Somewhere around there. And if you look at the direction of the bail outs and congress this total will soon reach $18 trillion. We got to $10 trillion with Republicans. Nancy Pelosi gives every indication that is nowhere near enough.

So if we all acknowledge the problem and want to pay the money back what is the best way to do it? The emotional knee jerk reaction is to raise taxes. Seems logical. Raise taxes and more money will come into the federal treasury. Right? Wrong.

Since classical economic theory back in the early part of the 20th century economist have always known about money circulation. What is referred to as velocity. The faster money goes through the economy the more money people make and the more taxes are collected. Since then the equations have gotten a lot more complex with partial differentials, regression analysis and other mathematics. The principals are the same. The faster the economic activity the more jobs, income and taxes.

So how do we get a faster economy? There has to be some tax rate that allows maximum tax collections right? Yes there is. Arthur Laffer took a simple business principal studied by millions of business

majors the world over. The maximum profit point or maximum revenue point. It the point where the price of your Chevy trucks makes you the most profit. Charge too much and you lose customers. Charge to little and you lose money. It’s not that complex. Disney does it for ticket prices. Walmart does it for their store pricing policies. All business does it. So why when Arthur Laffer does this same thing for government maximum revenues is he ridiculed for “trickle down,” “Voodoo” and other names too discredit his theory?

Because he discovered that the maximum revenue point for tax collections for a economy was about 27% to 30%. That would be federal, state and local taxes combined. He looked at all taxes because that is what we all pay. State income tax, sales, property, sewer, telephone, federal, social security, Medicaid, Medicare, gas, cable, the whole picture. And the picture wasn’t pretty. Currently we pay around 44% of our earnings in taxes. Now it’s easy to see why politicians react stridently against Laffer and his “trickle down” or supply side economics. We are taxed too much and it hurts our economy. It would be a similar reaction if a medical doctor walked into the village hospital and told the witch doctor his method of using leeches to bleed patients was causing infection and anemia. The witch doctor would not be very pleased to hear this news. Politicians don’t want to hear that taxes are too high. And so we get the disinformation and smears.

What is the best tax system? As a Libertarian I support the fair tax for several reasons. First a simple explanation of what the fair tax is. Skip ahead if you are familiar with it. The Fair Tax would eliminate all federal taxes. No payroll, social security, Medicaid, Medicare or corporate taxes. They would all be replaces with a 23% retail sales tax. No IRS, no April 15th, no corporate taxes. This alone would save billions in accounting and compliance cost. Billions that could be spend on more productive uses.

First a sales tax would shift taxes from income to spending. A very critical point for a nation 10 trillion in debt. If people saved they would pay no tax. If they spent they would be taxed. Guess which direction people would go? Savings and investment are more critical now than ever before. Soon our debt will exceed what we owed during the darkest days of WWII as a percentage of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Without dramatically increased domestic savings and investment we will be subject to the whims of foreign power that may or may not be friendly to our interest. What would happen if we get in an international dispute with China? China could tank our economy overnight that’s what would happen. Taxing spending instead of income is a no-brainer for the situation we are in today.

Second a sales tax would eliminate the IRS. Why pray tell does the government need to know what every worker makes? What business is it of theirs? Are we free men? Not in today’s society. Think about it. The government can investigate you for political beliefs or whatever they choose to and all they have to do is make a phone call to the IRS and they know what you are doing 2,080 hours of your life a year. Probe a little further and voilà, tax filing mistakes! Getting rid of the IRS would be the biggest transfer of power from the government to the people since the Declaration of Independence. Politicians cringe at the prospect of this.

Third no corporate taxes. Currently the corporate tax rate is 35%. Now think about it. Who pays that tax? If you ran a business and had to charge 35% for the government what would you do? Raise prices as much as possible. Lay off workers or buy less equipment. Pay fewer dividends or do less research and development. All pretty damaging to your company and to the overall economy. To put it simply corporate taxes are nothing more than additional taxes on you. You pay with lower wages because there is less demand for workers. You pay higher prices for products. You pay by receiving less dividend income for your savings and retirement. Another no-brainer. Get rid of all corporate taxes.

A couple of interesting observations about corporate taxes. First some big corporations like complex corporate tax systems and draconian accounting rules. Why? It keeps competitors occupied and discourages start up companies. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 should be called the No New Competitors ACT because no new company can afford all the compliance hassles of the Act. And when the complex accounting rules are in place where to the big corporations go to get relief? Why congress of course. Congress uses high tax rates and a complex accounting system as a way of getting donations from companies and industries looking for tax breaks and relief. The typical thought process of a bright financially orientated federal legislator is to raise taxes as high as possible and sell the tax breaks to the highest bidder. What is best for the people or new companies never enters their head.

The second observation I would like to point out is if there were no corporate taxes what would happen to all the lobbyist on K Street? 90% of them would pack up and go home. The only remaining lobbyist in Washington would be the ones trying to win government contracts. Anyone want restrictions on lobbyist? Why not get rid of them. Seems like the best solution. Adios Senor Corruption.

For more information please go to fairtax.org.

The second type of tax is the flat income tax. Just like the one Ronald Reagan had in 1986. It was great. It was great for about 2 weeks until the lobbyist started getting tax breaks and rewriting the tax code to its current 66,000 page bible-times-four thing. Does anyone understand it? Flat tax systems work when you keep the tax flat which will never happen in the United States. Russia has a 13% flat tax system. Good luck Russia keeping it that way. We wish you all the best. Something tells me in 10 years it may not be so flat anymore.

And finally we have our whatever you call it tax everything policies. All the levels of government
have taxes for everything. Very inefficient and very damaging to the economy. Anyone run a corporation lately? State taxes, workers compensation, federal taxes, forms, paperwork, accountants, and lawyers. Oh what fun and joy! Not. Makes me want to kick the dog and commit various other acts of violence. Get rid of the layers and layers of useless time consuming work and let business sell whatever it wants to sell. Wow! The economy would be on steroids. Unemployment would be 3% to 4%. The recession would end almost overnight.

In a perfect world all states would have a sales tax like we enjoy in Florida. This is very critical for Florida because we have such a huge “mail box” and billionaire economy. Essentially retires move her and earn low incomes mostly through pensions and social security. Yet a lot of these retires have amassed

substantial wealth through the years. A state income tax would fail to tax most of this wealth. But when Mrs. Retiree goes down to buy her new Lincoln she has to pay sales tax like everyone else. When Mr. Billionaire buys his new yacht he pays the sales tax. This is a tremendous benefit to Florida and has attracted workers to this state ever since I can remember. Generally but not always we have a lower unemployment rate than the rest of the country. Currently the loss of construction jobs has put Florida about even with the rest of the nation.

So when the politicians tell you we need to raise taxes they are either ignorant, stupid or devious jerks who have no compassion for their fellow men and women. Most likely the latter. Most of the idiots get the fisheries and FEMA committee assignments. The game plan is simple for these maniacal power hungry predators. Enslave the people with debt and taxes. Pass out tax breaks to the highest bidder. Get that account in the Grand Caymans. Live well and keep the peasants fighting for the scraps.

And then…

Over the last several days we have heard repeated comments about the PERSONAL SACRIFICES that PUBLIC SERVANTS endure while serving. While there are those who are away from their homes and families for extended times while in Washington or in their states capitols, it appears that the benefits far exceed the alleged personal sacrifices they make.

In fact, SIGN ME UP. Those who know me, know that I am great at making personal sacrifices and putting the interests of others before my own. That fact alone should qualify me for that political appointment that will be converted to a Senior Civil Servant position at the end of “the decider’s administration”.  I will then, always, and forever have the most paid vacation days, the best health care benefits, the most paid federal or state holidays, per Diem’s, job security during an economic Armageddon, and the freedom to perform  less than stellar job performance because I am forever secure in my Senior Civil Service position.

My future is bright, my financial security guaranteed. I can plan for the future, visualize my retirement and the second home that will be available through the “foreclosure” market. All of which was made possible while I was personally sacrificing as a political appointee and waiting to become a SENIOR CIVIL SERVANT.

I BEG YOU! Please allow me to make this personal sacrifice and become the much envied yet much maligned public servant. It would mean THE WORLD TO ME!

I bring this to your attention, because truth be known that many of these appointees, and civil servant employees would never make it in the private sector. Believe ME. THEY WOULD NOT. I have known many such “servants” and their less than stellar work ethic startles me. I have been honest with them and suggested that many of them and their associates would be fired during a probationary period for a variety of inadequacies if they were employed in the private sector. THEY LAUGH UPROARIOUSLY! (It might just be a defense mechanism)

My point in this while seemingly sarcastic, is a sad truth about some Public Servants.  Not ALL, but a prevailing number of them.

Administration Moves to Protect Key Appointees
Political Positions Shifted To Career Civil Service Jobs

By Juliet Eilperin and Carol D. Leonnig
Washington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, November 18, 2008; A01

Just weeks before leaving office, the Interior Department’s top lawyer has shifted half a dozen key deputies — including two former political appointees who have been involved in controversial environmental decisions — into senior civil service posts.

The transfer of political appointees into permanent federal positions, called “burrowing” by career officials, creates security for those employees, and at least initially will deprive the incoming Obama administration of the chance to install its preferred appointees in some key jobs.

Similar efforts are taking place at other agencies. Two political hires at the Labor Department have already secured career posts there, and one at the Department of Housing and Urban Development is trying to make the switch.

Between March 1 and Nov. 3, according to the federal Office of Personnel Management, the Bush administration allowed 20 political appointees to become career civil servants. Six political appointees to the Senior Executive Service, the government’s most prestigious and highly paid employees, have received approval to take career jobs at the same level. Fourteen other political, or “Schedule C,” appointees have also been approved to take career jobs. One candidate was turned down by OPM and two were withdrawn by the submitting agency.

The personnel moves come as Bush administration officials are scrambling to cement in place policy and regulatory initiatives that touch on issues such as federal drinking-water standards, air quality at national parks, mountaintop mining and fisheries limits.

The practice of placing political appointees into permanent civil service posts before an administration ends is not new. In its last 12 months, the Clinton administration approved 47 such moves, including seven at the senior executive level. Federal employees with civil service status receive job protections that make it very difficult for managers to remove them.

Most of the personnel shifts have been done on a case-by-case basis, but Interior Solicitor David L. Bernhardt moved to place six deputies in senior agency positions with one stroke, including two who have repeatedly attracted controversy. Robert D. Comer, who was Rocky Mountain regional solicitor, was named to the civil service post of associate solicitor for mineral resources. Matthew McKeown, who served as deputy associate solicitor for mineral resources, will take Comer’s place in what is also a career post. Both had been converted from political appointees to civil service status.

In a report dated Oct. 13, 2004, Interior’s inspector general singled out Comer in criticizing a grazing agreement that the Bureau of Land Managementhad struck with a Wyoming rancher, saying Comer used “pressure and intimidation” to produce the settlement and pushed it through “with total disregard for the concerns raised by career field personnel.” McKeown — who as Idaho’s deputy attorney general had sued to overturn a Clinton administration rule barring road-building in certain national forests — has been criticized by environmentalists for promoting the cause of private property owners over the public interest on issues such as grazing and logging.

One career Interior official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to jeopardize his position, said McKeown will “have a huge impact on a broad swath of the West” in his new position, advising the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service on “all the programs they implement.” Comer, the official added, will help shape mining policy in his new assignment.

“It is an attempt by the outgoing administration to limit as much as possible [the incoming administration's] ability to put its policy imprint on the Department of Interior,” the official said.

In a Nov. 13 memo obtained by The Washington Post, Bernhardt wrote that he was reorganizing his division because the associate solicitors’ original status as political appointees undermined the division’s effectiveness.

“This has resulted in frequent turnover in those positions, often with an attendant loss in productivity and management continuity in these Divisions, despite the best efforts of the newly-appointed Associate Solicitors,” he wrote.

But environmental advocates, and some rank-and-file Interior officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of hurting their careers, said the reassignments represent the Bush administration’s effort to leave a lasting imprint on environmental policy.

“What’s clear is they could have done this during the eight years they were in office. Why are they doing it now?” said Robert Irvin, senior vice president for conservation programs at Defenders of Wildlife, an advocacy group. “It’s pretty obvious they’re trying to leave in place some of their loyal foot soldiers in their efforts to reduce environmental protection.”

In an interview yesterday, Bernhardt reiterated that he thinks the move is in the government’s long-term interest.

“I believe these management decisions will strengthen the professionalism of the Office of the Solicitor and result in greater service to the Department of the Interior,” he said. “However, the next solicitor and the department’s management team are free to walk a different path.”

One senior Interior official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters, said an incoming interior secretary or solicitor could create new political positions upon taking office and could shift Senior Executive Service officials to comparable jobs within a few months. As a general rule, career SES employees may be reassigned involuntarily within their current commuting area within 15 days, and beyond their commuting area within 60 days, but they retain their lucrative and permanent government posts. When a new agency head is appointed, he or she must wait 120 days before reassigning career SES officials.

Outside groups are trying to monitor these moves but are powerless to reverse them. Alex Bastani, a representative at the Labor Department for the American Federation of Government Employees, said it took months for that agency even to acknowledge that two of its Bush appointees, Carrie Snidar and Brad Mantel, had gotten civil service posts.

“They’re trying to burrow into these career jobs, and we’re very upset,” Bastani said. “Everyone should have an opportunity to apply for these positions. And certainly career people who don’t have partisan bent and have 10 or 15 years in their respective fields should have a shot at these positions.”

Kerry Weems, acting chief of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said he discourages political staff from moving into career slots. “It typically doesn’t work out for either party,” he said. Even though Weems is a career staffer, he expects to leave the administration when the Obama team takes over.

Alphonso Jackson, who was HUD secretary under President Bush, warned his political appointees not to try to burrow in when the administration changed. But one of his regional directors objected to that flat-out prohibition, according to union leaders at HUD, and has told his colleagues that he has been promised first crack at a career position.

Staff writers Ceci Connolly and Spencer S. Hsu contributed to this report.

Well! It quite simply does not end. So much for “we the people,” who are not connected or can’t “PAY TO PLAY”. 

So, all you much maligned “servants”, please give us a thought or two and please list your personal sacrifices. I will be the first to applaud and recognize you for such.

STAY TUNED

It has been several interesting days, since Political Bad Boy Blagojevich was arrested for a “political crime spree” that rendered several politicians shocked and awed.   Well!  You say,”shocked and awed”.

Really?

Isn’t that a gross exagerration of what you really felt.

Really?

Aren’t you seriously overstating your reaction?

How could those of us witnessing this, not suffer any of those shocking and compelling reactions?

Those of us who witnessed this via cable news, and are not elected officials, nor are we Federal Prosecutors, thought “so what’s new”?  Why did we not have any of those reactions?   Because it is what we expect. On a regular and ongoing basis. Again and Again and Again.

How would Watergate rate against this? (Suggested by Gov. Blago on Monday, December 8, during an appearance at Republic Window & Door during an employee protest regarding their job loss).

Blago, I suggest you ask former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan or former Special Counsel to the Nixon Administration John W. Dean. They can answer that question for you.

This “stuck as Governor” Bad Boy on a political crime spree makes our days. He inspires us to further our grassroots campaign to end the culture of corruption that is so pervasive in government. When we don’t think we can stand another political spin from the spinners, another ill gotten bailout, another self aggrandizing political statement,  his arrogance, narcissism, and what his co-horts call delusional political reality rears its’ ugly head and the media goes crazy all over again. We thank you!

The spinners start spinning, my head starts spinning, the phones start ringing, the dog barks, and anyone who has ever spoken to this tough guy ”stuck Governor” runs for cover as if they were walking through Baghdad and Blackwater was on patrol.

There is a deafening silence until some artful dodger AKA a high ranking Illinois State official, Senate or House leader throws the media a bone with an artfully prepared statement saying nothing other than that they are  shocked and awed. The tone is set for what should and should not be said, while any and all in the sphere of influence of this man are making and releasing their politically correct and partisan statements. LET’S END THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND CALL A  SPADE A SPADE. The constituents of Illinois need to immediately call for his resignation AND the Illinois General Assembly must rigorously begin impeachment proceedings. Illinois State Attorney General Lisa Madigan is also preparing to go the the Illinois Supreme Court and have him declared unfit to serve.

 The US Senate Democratic Caucus (50 members)  issued the following letter: (from swamppolitics.com)

December 10, 2008

Dear Governor Blagojevich:

We write to insist that you step down as Governor of Illinois and under no circumstance make an appointment to fill the vacant Illinois Senate seat.

In light of your arrest yesterday on alleged federal corruption charges related to that Senate seat, any appointment by you would raise serious questions.

It is within the authority of the Illinois legislature to remove your power to make this appointment by providing for a special election. But a decision by you to resign or to step aside under Article V of the Illinois Constitution would be the most expeditious way for a new Senator to be chosen and seated in a manner that would earn the confidence of the people of Illinois and all Americans. We consider it imperative that a new senator be seated as soon as possible so that Illinois is fully represented in the Senate as the important work of the 111th Congress moves forward.

Please understand that should you decide to ignore the request of the Senate Democratic Caucus and make an appointment we would be forced to exercise our Constitutional authority under Article I, Section 5, to determine whether such a person should be seated.

We do not prejudge the outcome of the criminal charges against you or question your constitutional right to contest those charges. But for the good of the Senate and our nation, we implore you to refrain from making an appointment to the Senate.

Sincerely,

Earlier in the day, the senior senator from Illinois, Richard Durbin, sent a letter to Blagojevich asking him to step down. It was a reversal for Durbin, who just Tuesday said that such calls were premature, and that Blagojevich deserved a full and fair trial on corruption charges. Although even then, he said that the state would be better off with a new chief executive.

Here is that text of that letter.

Dear Governor Blagojevich:

I am writing to ask you to step down as Governor of Illinois. Beyond guilt or innocence, the charges against you raise serious questions about your ability to carry out your duties as chief executive of our state.

I also ask you not to appoint the next United States Senator from Illinois. Because of the nature of the charges against you, no matter whom you were to select, that individual would be under a cloud of suspicion. That would not serve our state, our nation, or the United States Senate.

Legislative efforts to impeach you or remove your ability to appoint the replacement for the United States Senate have been initiated but those options could take some time accomplish. I urge you to choose the path that will be the most beneficial for the people of Illinois and the nation, and resign immediately.

At this moment, I am the only United State Senator from Illinois and within weeks we will begin the next Congress facing unprecedented challenges. Illinois should not be underrepresented in the Senate during this critical time in our history.

I urge you to search your heart and summon the strength to put your state and your nation above any personal considerations.

Sincerely,

Richard J. Durbin

The two errors in Senator Durbin’s request is that first there must be an assumption that he has a pumping heart, and clearly he has no conscience to make a selfless consideration for his state and nation. The appeal was well intended, but stay tuned. I am certain that the Honorable Senator Durbin will yet again have another take on this in a few days as the CLIMATE changes. There must be some sunshine out there. Clearly Gov. Blago thought so on Monday when he invited the world to “tape” his calls both openly and notoriously.

LONG TERM FORCAST: TORNADIC

Public outcry toward Bad Boy Blago and his media friendly wife Lady Macbeth (a media reference) heightens while as public servants they continue to count their personal sacrifices.

No board to be appointed to.

No Secretarial appointment in the new Administration.

No Warren Buffet Foundation to lead.

No SEIU Union to defraud.

Clearly A GREAT PERSONAL TRADEGY at the very least.

I heard one political strategist suggest that if this had been a republican that was arrested, that the Federal Prosecutor and the media would be making a point of emphasizing his party affiliation. Geez, I didn’t think  corruption had a party. I thought it was a state of political being. A characterization. A REALITY, if you will Mr. Spinner. I don’t THINK Patrick Fitzgerald cares about PARTY affiliation when he investigates. Are you suggesting that he does? Some of us don’t give a hoot about what party it is, we care that it happens. REPEATEDLY!!!!

A self serving vote, a tainted dollar, a sold vote, an illegal contribution. It happens! REPEATEDLY!!!

Please all you strategists, review your banter and edit your political “wittisisms” before going on air and exposing us to this idiocy. You look a fool! It irritates CLINICAL THINKERS. We are AWED that you have left personal integrity and decency out of your rhetoric. That you will SPIN THE TRUTH to further your political agenda!  Alas! I am shocked and awed.  

I can deal with the crime spree, I can’t deal with the nonsense by some spinners.

A RANT:

UPDATE: Dec. 15, 2008

UPDATE: Dec. 11, 2008
Since I started this rant the bailout has passed the house. It sucks! We better hope and pray the Senate has more common sense and sends EVERYONE back to the drawing board or we will be revisiting this issue early next year.

My first inclination was an emphatic NO NO NO!

I have a billion questions about this whole situation … I will not list them here since there certainly is not the time, space or bandwidth to cover it all.

After putting a bit of “Clinical Thought” to it all I have decided it is a must on some level.
There is no point in the “blame game” we need to embrace the “fix game”. I looking over the offered solutions and those promoting them it crossed my mind NOT MANY offering solutions have ever run a business.

Come to think of it most would probably fall flat on their faces in the real business world. So they are offering a business solution?
HOW SMART IS THAT?
Let me answer that for you … NOT VERY.

Add to all of that who they are “sleeping with” (lobbyist “payoff” “kickback” “campaign donations”) and we have further skewed solutions.
How about we kick “Politically Correct” aside and call a spade a spade.
That whole can of worms is another article by someone wiser than I coming soon.

Handing over billions with a CAR CZAR to oversee?
Who the heck would want that job?
It will be most interesting to see who has the real wherewithal and guts to step up to that plate.

Anyway so far what I have seen appears to be pouring TAX PAYER MONEY down a rat hole.

What is expected of this program?
Is this a warning shot across the bough of all auto workers?
Get prepared to lose your jobs in 6 mos.?

AUTO MAKERS:

Here are the down and dirty facts … you think you can’t survive on what you make today?
Well how well are you going to survive on zilch?
If you think you can count on the government as a safety net you are sadly mistaken.
If you think you can count on your union you are equally sadly mistaken … both ARE/HAVE/WILL miserably fail you.
Keep in mind YOU ARE BOSS OF THE UNION not vice versa … make your voices heard before you are in some unemployment line while your company/union bosses are sipping mojitos in Dubai.

You want to know why the Banks got bailed out with few questions asked?
The bailers saw their own asses slipping into the great abyss.
Its called VESTED INTEREST!
NOW “Barney Baby”, “Pelosi the Shrew” Dodd and a whole slew of others are safe and can make an example.
YOU AUTO MAKERS ARE IT!

I just ran into the latest Republican Solution (below).
It would be refreshing if both sides of the isle FOR ONCE drop partisanship and hammer out a solution to help get an ICONIC industry back on its feet.

There are no better workers in the world than here in the USA there are just cheaper workers elsewhere. For those who say these American companies can not compete? The naysayers ARE DAFFED!
Perhaps a level playing field would help.

WASHINGTON, DC – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH), Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-IN), and other House GOP leaders today put forth an alternative to the $15 billion taxpayer-funded auto bailout proposed by House Democratic leaders.

The American Automotive Reorganization and Recovery Plan

Working families throughout our country are struggling to pay their bills and facing economic anxieties not seen in America for generations. Employers are finding themselves torn between staying in business and laying off people over the holidays. Nowhere are these challenges more acute than in states that are heavily dependent on auto manufacturing. It is essential that Washington address these challenges not through taxpayer-funded bailouts that prolong working families’ pain and put taxpayers’ money at risk, but by fixing problems and removing barriers that make it harder for working families to prosper.

Washington has failed this basic test with respect to the American auto industry. Republicans want to make certain that in its response to the resulting crisis, Washington does not fail American taxpayers as well. A responsible plan should do two things: it should protect taxpayers, and it should help auto workers and their families by allowing the Big Three to become competitive again. The Democrats’ plan does neither. Congress should not be stampeded into rubber-stamping a plan that guarantees failure at the taxpayers’ expense.

The Democratic Bailout proposal has three fundamental flaws:

• The only thing crazier than trusting the same management and union officials who got the Big Three into this mess to get them out is trusting a bunch of Washington politicians and bureaucrats – the very same people who ran up a $455 billion deficit last year. American auto workers and their families deserve better.
• If no private investors believe the Big Three restructuring plans are realistic enough to support with their own money, why should we put up taxpayer money? American taxpayers deserve better.
• The Big Three restructuring plan and the Democratic proposal lack accountability. There is no guarantee that once they get taxpayer money the restructuring they promise will occur. Once the taxpayers prop them up once, there will be a big incentive to keep bailing them out – keeping the industry dependent on government aid and further denying American auto workers the security of a viable industry that is back on its feet and ready to compete. American auto workers and their families deserve better.

What We Should Be Doing: The American Automotive Reorganization and Recovery Plan

Hard Benchmarks:

On December 2, the Big Three presented to Congress their plans for restructuring. While the plans included laudable goals, too few details were provided as to how the companies will actually achieve the restructuring and the savings they have promised. In some instances new agreements to achieve the savings would not be entered into for months or perhaps years.

The Big Three must lock in the restructuring they have promised in a matter of weeks, not months or years. Congress should instead establish firm benchmarks and a tight timeline for

restructuring. Such benchmarks will include for example requiring that by March 31, 2009 each company should reach agreement whereby:

• The companies’ creditors agree to a framework to reduce each company’s indebtedness by at least 1/3.
• The UAW holds to concessions already made and further:

o Concedes the elimination of Supplemental Unemployment Benefits;
o Concedes elimination of the Jobs Bank Program;
o Agrees to either reduce company retiree health care obligations or otherwise convert a portion of such obligations into equity; and
o Agrees to reduce wages and benefits to the levels paid by non-Big Three manufacturers.

A Process for Reaching Expedited Agreement, Instead of Nationalizing America’s Auto Companies

Because of the many legal and contractual hurdles to restructuring, the companies are urged to accomplish their restructuring through the use of a pre-packaged bankruptcy or another mechanism to bring all stakeholders to the table for an agreed-upon determination of their future. It is important that these stakeholders reach reasonable compromises amongst themselves. Creating a government bureaucracy or a “car czar” to arbitrarily pass judgment on the thousands of details involved with a restructuring is akin to nationalizing the auto companies.

Interim Financing: Insurance, Rather than a Taxpayer-Funded Bailout

The Big Three may need some form of interim financing as they finalize their restructuring. In normal economic times, if their restructuring plan is considered viable, such financing should be available in the private market. Because of the current credit crisis, limited assistance may be appropriate in the form of insurance, rather than a taxpayer-funded government bailout that replaces private investment. We propose that the government provide insurance, funded by the participants with a modest FDIC-like fee, which would cover up to 50 percent of the losses of new investment in the case of default, helping to unlock immediate private investment (not unlike debtor in possession financing). Such insurance would expire on March 31, 2009. This proposal ensures that taxpayers are protected and provides a powerful incentive for the Big Three to quickly implement their restructuring plans.

Its a start so get your dead asses to work and earn the paycheck and benefits that are way to high for the amount of successful work you crank out for “we the people”.
