Van Jones gets the proverbial boot and resigns?

van-jonesSo Van Jones resigns?
Out of the goodness of his heart right?
Anyone who believes Barack Obama does not know EXACTLY what Jones is has ROCKS FOR BRAINS!

No doubt all of the dirt being dug up on the so called “NOT CZARS” is starting to cause a bit of concern in the WhiteHouse.

Concern NOT BECAUSE our President dislikes the behavior, mindset or actions of said “NOT CZARS” but because “we the people” are finding out.

Light on a subject the population knows nothing about is an amazing thing. (where is the lazy corrupt main stream media on this?)

Thanks to Glenn Beck and his last weeks of ferreting out key information on not only Van Jones but John Holdren, Cass Sunstein, Ezekiel Emanuel to name a few.

The average Joe and Jane work hard … come home from work and flick on the news … unfortunately the main stream media is silent about what is really going on.
They are silent why?
Not because they are clue less but because the are flat out corrupt also.
So Joe and Jane remain clue less and worse propagandized. Slowly that situation is changing. There is nothing better in the world than a true GRASSROOTS revolution … one sparked by passion and love of country.

Clearly a revolution the Obama puppet masters did not expect.
These are not only interesting but historical times my friends.
Are the politicians in Washington braced for political suicide if they decide to defy those who pay their salaries?
We all watch and wait.

I would imagine in order to save face they will quickly try and shove something through so they can AT LEAST claim some kind of a win.
Will it work?
I am betting on a public that apparently is FAR MORE informed than those who are at the switch casting votes to pass these bills without reading, understanding and open debate.


Obama sweats as poll numbers dive.

81248216CS026_BARACK_OBAMA_Apparently the old saying … “You can’t fool all of the people all of the time” … is starting to come home to roost for Obama and his sidekicks.

The Rasmussen poll has Obama’s approval dropping to 45 percent, after several weeks at 49 percent. The Zogby poll has it even lower — at 42 percent.

I actually got called by one of these pollsters 2 weeks ago.
Imagine that … after 68 years?

What happened to all that swagger in “WE GOT THE NUMBERS” routine bantered around the WhiteHouse way back when?

Apparently the Obama Team forgot or never knew how fickle “lady fate” actually is?

Will these lost supporters suddenly swing back to Obama’s side?
I say not !
Why?
Human nature !
Once someone has been screwed … human nature kicks in and one rants to 100 people that they know and by the end of the “rant spree” their mind is usually set in that negative mode.

This stuff is amazing when one understands the Obama approval ratings have plummeted faster (has he broken a sound barrier yet?) than any president in history from the start of his term. What makes this even more amazing is he cruised into the WhiteHouse with FAR MORE ACCOLADES and good will than any other president in history.

We need to face it people.
Obama is a myth … he is a made up man with nothing holding him up but his puppet master.
Have you ever noticed the lack of “true passion” when he speaks?
Screw the FAKE ELOQUENCE !

Most people will vibe to that basic true passion in another human being.
You may not agree with them but you KNOW AND FEEL the passion.

Who in my life have I seen with this “true passion”?
Ronald Reagan … Sarah Palin … Glenn Beck.
It is not something you can cultivate, buy or fake … it simply is an innate something these people ARE. It makes them stand out in a crowd when they speak … it makes people WANT to follow them.

None of those qualities are possessed by Barack Obama and that is what the public is finally beginning to see.

At what point are the politicians in Washington going to decide to leave a sinking ship … dawn a life jacket and bail out?
Self survival is an interesting thing to watch in real time don’t ya think?

You radical, loony, conspiracy theorists who are terrorizing these poor politicians? … KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !YOU ARE gaining a foot hold that will truly in the end change our USA to something it was always suppose to have been.


Shaking out the wash.

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.


Glenn Beck skewered on The View

May 21, 2009
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 18:00 PM

I have been very busy for the past couple of weeks and its been hard to keep up with the whiplash events we as citizens face daily from Washington much less care about the TRIVIA from the babes on The View.

It has been peaceful to say the least.

When I talked to my cousin last night late I was told of the antics on THE VIEW concerning Glenn Beck. That started my own research this morning. I finally found the segment on youtube.

Apparently THE GIRLS did not appreciate a small dose of what they put out in heaps daily (thus being mimicked as shrews) in public. To bad Joy Bahar was not involved in this particular incident since she deserves “mimic retaliation” more than most.
You might want to notice in particular Joy’s question about how/why Glenn cry’s (pulling a hair in his nose?) periodically. Which makes understandable his answer to Barbara Walters in the next piece as he responds to her question and comment about his crying.

Barbara’s last comment (as melodramatic as Barbara can be) was “I just want to know what your true convictions are?” “I just haven’t learned that much from you.” … gee maybe if they let him talk more than a minute out of close to 15 might do the trick?

Maybe since Barbara IS SUPPOSE TO BE the prime interview primadonna in the USA she should perhaps do the research she expected from Beck? You know that what’s good for the gander is good for the “prime goose”? Anyone taking at least 1/2 hour watching Beck (who wears his heart on his sleeve) immediately know what his true convictions are … the truth of the matter IS she does not give a flying flip what he thinks or his convictions are … she was just pissed at being portrayed as witch Heckety before millions of radio fans.


Glen Beck is Wrong About Economist

March 9, 2009
Posted by Economics9698 @ 19:52 PM

glenn-beckRadio and now television personality Glen Beck has recently grown fond of ridiculing economist who in recent years have made some really dumb predictions. The type of economist Beck likes to lampoon generally comes from government such as the Securities and Exchange Commission or private corporations or associations like the housing industry. Beck quotes one of the bought and paid for economist from say 2005 predicting the housing boom will last forever then smears all economist as dumb worthless boneheads. Well I guess it’s my time to come to the defense of economist so here goes.

Economists are like any business degree. Economics is one of a group of business degrees that include accounting, finance, marketing and so forth. Economist want the nice cushy job with the fat spending account just like anyone. So when Mr. Pump up housing prices association man offers young bright economist from proper university a sweet job Mr. Young Economist will search and search his massive educational and mathematical knowledge to give the boss what the boss wants. No surprise there. But if economists are trained in the “truth” then how do they get so far away from it?

The first little dirty secret is justifying economic distortions and sometimes outright robbery with the Pareto efficiency, or Pareto optimality. This little concept is an important concept used by millions of economist to justify social engineering. It is used in economics with broad applications in game theory, engineering and the social sciences.
Given a set of alternative allocations of, say, goods or income for a set of individuals, a change from one allocation to another that can make at least one individual better off without making any other individual worse off is called a Pareto improvement. And there you have it. The magical gateway drug economist the world over to justify some special treatment for their industry or political point of view. Similar to congressmen and women justifying their special pork projects as beneficial and hey it’s only a few million here and there. Of course the problem is a few million here and there, a few million special programs here and there, then a few tax breaks here and there and pretty soon add up into a huge headache and is anything but a Pareto improvement. More like a Pareto pain in the ass and drag on the wallet.

office-spaceThis concept is captured quite accurately in the movie Office Space where the disgruntled workers Peter Gibbons, Michael Bolton, Joanna and Samir devise a scheme to only take fractions of pennies from corporate accounts on the assumption that no one will notice and no one will get hurt while they get rich. Here is some commentary from the hilarious movie:

samir-and-michael-bolton bill-lumbergh peter

Peter Gibbons explaining the corporate account skimming as equivalent to: “Um, the 7-Eleven, right? You take a penny from the tray.”

Joanna: From the crippled children?

Peter Gibbons: No, that’s the jar. I’m talking about the tray, the pennies for everybody.

Eventually the scam ends up into an enormous very obvious corporate swindle forcing the mastermind Peter Gibbons to admit “You know, corporate accounting is sure as hell gonna notice $305,326.13, Michael!”

The Pareto effect put to use in the movie Office Space with hilarious consequences. Unfortunately in the real world we all pay for these little improvements in the form of higher taxes, higher consumer prices, and distorting income tax corporate and personal laws that do not allocate resources efficiently. In other words Mr. Beck its hogwash designed to sooth the minds of economist justifying the very types of abuses they were taught not to inflict on other humans.

What do economists know? The best tax is a simple flat or fair tax. Corporate taxes are nothing more than a tax on people, investment or dividends. Corporate taxes are a complete waste of time and resources if for no other reason than people end up paying the tax in one form or another. Capital gains taxes are a waste of time and money. Do we really want to tax capital formation? Pretty illogical when you think about it. I personally want my employer to raise and invest capital. It means higher productivity and higher wages.

So if I were advising Obama and I wanted energy cap and trade, socialized medicine, social security, Medicaid, Medicare, welfare and all the rest of the goodies? I would tell him is unrealistic but if he was hell bent on pursuing the madness the cut corporate and capital gains taxes to zero, raise personal taxes for those making over $1 million to 50% and cut tariffs to zero. Simplify the tax code to a progressive flat tax and eliminate payroll taxes. This flies in the face of his communist upbringing and education. Clearly it would strengthen segments of private industry. So Obama would reject it.

So what does Obama really want Mr. Beck? The bail outs are designed to reward friends and inflate the currency making huge segments of the population dependent on the federal government. Inflation wipes out seniors and the middle class first then works it was up. The idea is to have just a very few very wealthy capitalist at the top that will cow tow to the whims of the federal government much the same as in fascist Germany from 1933 to 1945. Same old same old to an economist.
Obama is a communist by upbringing and education. He clearly believed in Marxism and all its tenets. If he had the power he would implement communism overnight. His problem is the capitalist are to strong in America. Everyday the Dow Jones drops is another day people become agitated with his brainless economic policies. He is rapidly running out of good will. 10% unemployment is just around the corner and as more people lose their jobs pride in the messiah will turn to anger and contempt. People cursed Jesus and they will curse Obama. The magic carpet ride will soon crash.

Obama knows it. His communist brain boy David Axelrod knows it. And the deals with the capitalist pigs like GE will be made. And the legacy of the communist Obama someday will be as a fascist. Just like Hitler and Mercedes Benz. How ironic that for all these years Democrats have been accusing Republicans of being fascist and our first true fascist government will have been consummated by none other than an affirmative action half Negro communist. How appropriate.
So Mr. Beck we economist do know economics. We know more than you do what is going on and how it is being accomplished. Some of us are communist like former Nobel Prize winners Leonid Vitaliyevich Kantorovich and Tjalling C. Koopmans. Some are fascist like Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman of the New York Times and some are libertarians like Milton Freidman.

What truly astonishes most of us is the utter ignorance the American public has of even the most basic concepts of what is in their best interest. We see year after year, decade after decade politicians exploit people ignorance on a wide rage of issues like school choice, social security, Medicaid and Medicare, welfare, work rules. Some of us year after year try to inform people of why and how this or that works for or against them and year after year we are ignored or worse made pariahs in the business community. I mean what farmers organization is going to hire an economist who argues against farm subsidies? And there you have it. We try to inform people but are shut out by politicians and the media who don’t want to listen. And we need to feed our families. So we compromise and do what we have to do.

I would ask you Mr. Beck to invite Senior Fellow at the CATO Institute Dan Mitchell to your show as often as you can to explain economics. Mr. Mitchell is a wonderful man who is very honest in his economic analysis. And if you pressed him really hard I bet he would give you some very accurate predictions of what will happen in the future to our country if Obama’s economic policies are implemented.

So Mr. Beck lighten up on the economist. We are just guys and gals like you trying to make a living fighting the ignorance and dogma of the day just like you. Show us some love once in awhile dude.


The Tea Party Revolution for April 15th

March 4, 2009
Posted by clinicalthinker @ 17:48 PM

Yesterday my husband walked by and said “hey have you heard what your friend Glenn Beck just said on a morning show?” My comment since I normally do not watch morning TV and he could clearly see me sitting at my laptop with no TV on was “NO what.”

“He said everyone should SELL THEIR STOCKS and get out of the market because its on its way down further.”

Yes I had heard that the day before on his show. No big surprise for any of us looking at the real world.
“HE IS GOING TO CAUSE A PANIC” he says.
GOING? There is sort of already a panic already going on wouldn’t ya say?

Oh wait its gone up 150 today?
Could the roller coaster ride be over?
Unfortunately probably not.

Now on the horizon there seem to be a few storm clouds brewing over the Obama camp. A number of Obama key supporters are beginning to fidget. Could it be due to self preservation like their own money is vanishing before their eyes? PITY! Could it be due to those taken to protest in the streets over impending bail out trickle down tax is getting Democrat attention?
FEAR!
GOOD OLD DEMOCRATIC FEAR OF BEING UNSEATED PERHAPS?

We already see the GOP choking on their loss and scrambling as fast as they can to gain a BRAND NEW FOOTHOLD. Apparently that is not working well with Steele dissing Rush and then having to quickly back track for opening mouth and inserting foot down gullet before engaging brain.

Take a look at the latest stock chart and consider your IRA or 401K.
It is evident this re-distribution of wealth being foisted on the taxpayer is not working as well as expected.

market-chart

Obama, the Democrats as well as the Republicans have miscalculated THE REAL MEDIA.
THE INTERNET. Its almost as fast as a speeding bullet and can circle the entire globe in under 8 minutes with a well placed network. That media source has been awakened and is beginning to shout … ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I have to admit I am a little surprised that Obama would ignore that since it was so well used in his own campaign. It seems that the Obama narcissism is showing … like maybe he expected the conned would NEVER come to their senses and see things as they really are?
OPPS!

The real revolution has begun and the fools heading up our government today have yet to figure it out.
Check out these organizations:
Atlas will Shrug – Going Galt

Tax Day Tea Party April 15th

I can only wonder how long it is going to take the REAL powers that be in Washington to latch on and enact the failsafe so far ignored to really bail us all out.

Barack Obama has yet to release documents showing he is actually a “natural born citizen” which allows him to be POTUS.
