Candidate Romney: Is a Wool Suit Sheep’s Clothing?

Noted Economist Michelle Obama Cites ‘Remarkable Progress’ of U.S. Economy

Newtney on the Bounty

Not only is the GOP torpedoing their ship that’s supposed to come in this year, they are steering it directly into the Obama Port of Second Call.  Is this how we shore up the Conservative base or win the Moderates and Independents?  This intense implosion within the Republican party gives fodder to the Obama campaign — a gift in video sound bites. 

Obama clearly cannot run on his record.  One of the few arrows he does have is to vilify the ultimate GOP candidate — but alas the Republicans are doing a bang up job of handing him the full quiver.  If Newt is the candidate, Obama runs excerpts of Romney’s campaign against Newt.  Ditto if Romney wins.  Read the rest of this entry

The Myth That America Spends Too Much on Defense

The Fiscal Year 2013 defense budget promises to slash $43 billion, leaving $662 billion to equip the world’s largest economic and strongest military power. Normally, cutting the defense budget could be justified considering America’s financial stress, if it were peacetime, and if the threats were relatively few and non-taxing.

We’ve all seen the statistic – “America spends more on defense than the next ten largest military budgets combined.” While true, the pre-eminent superpower checks in on defense spending at a meager 4.7% of GDP in 2010, ranking tenth overall.

Americans Slumber On While Progressives Take Over Internet & Embrace Muslim Brotherhood

If you watched the news today, you might wonder what those little blips between Republican campaign reporting were.  They were so short, and yet so unbelievable, that you might think you dreamed them.  They were so outrageous that you might think it was actually a nightmare.  But then, thank goodness, the smiling reporter returns to scenes of balloons, flags & glitter- the campaign trail!- and you feel much better.  Reassured that none of it was what you thought you heard.

Take over the Internet?  Make Eric Holder (Mr. Fast ‘n Furious) the new Internet Czar?  Control the last bastion of truly open communication in the United States?  Censorship like they have in China?

Israel is Ready to Kick Some Iranian Butt- Guess Who Will Win That One?

“If the United States Won’t Do It, We Will Have To.”

Good for Israel.  They have had enough and can no longer wait for Captain-Wait-Until-It’s-Too-Late. They are ready to preemptively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.  And who can blame them?  If anything, one must wonder why they have waited this long.  Personally, I believe they waited this long because they love peace and have been waiting to see if Obama & the United States would work diplomatically to protect Israel.  The reverse has been the result of Obama’s foreign policy.

The day that I agree with the ACLU is the day that confirms my belief that the world has truly turned upside down.  That day is today.  The ACLU is demanding transparency & legal justification for the killing of American born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, his teen age son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen who was born in Denver in 1995, and his 17-year-old Yemeni cousin that were killed in a U.S. military drone strike that left nine people dead in southeastern Yemen.

Huffington Post Claims Cantor is Corrupt & Wants Boehner’s Job

Huffington Post Claims Cantor is Corrupt & Wants Boehner’s Job.

You know when the Huffington Post & Progressive Liberals start investigating your stock portfolio and start publicizing feuds that don’t exist, then you must be doing the right thing. This is what is happening in Washington today. The Huffington Post has been printing articles that Eric Cantor‘s walk-out from the Biden led debt ceiling talks are a direct result of money he might make from his stock portfolio. They base this on his purchase of stocks that they claim would benefit from a full governmental shutdown. Absurd. Further, they are attempting to pick a fight between Republicans in the ol’ divide & conquer scheme. Obama was quick to ‘praise’ Boehner as the more ‘reasonable’ Representative between Cantor & Boehner in an attempt to give Boehner the ‘kiss of death’. Liberal politicians are getting major air time from Obama’s news-owning élite saying that 70,000 children will die and that seniors will actually starve if this debt ceiling is not raised. Further, Obama has loaded his gun and fired both barrels this weekend by stating that he won’t guarantee that social security checks will be sent on time.  read more..

Give The Girl A Prize: Obama Gets Gun Control Out of Fast n Furious Debacle!

Give The Girl A Prize: Obama Gets Gun Control Out of Fast n Furious Debacle!

I called it in my Fast n Furious- That’s How Eric Holder’s (& Obama’s) Heads Should Roll article. Gun Control. That is exactly why ATF agents were forced to allow these weapons into Mexico in the first place. The original plan was to intercept them and make arrests before the Mexican Border. But no. Obama & Eric Holder had other plans. It was no ‘mistake’. It was intentional. And it makes total sense. Let them go south. Surprise! They were used to kill hundreds of Mexican civilians & at least one American Border Agent. Interestingly, the drug cartel conveniently left behind two of the assault rifles- just dropped ‘em to the ground after killing our agent. You know, the weapons that were marked and recorded for this Fast n Furious project? The ones that are so traceable? They found them lying there in the dirt, next to the body of our agent.

Has ANYONE ever wondered why the rifles were dropped? No one was chasing the guys who did it. No one shot them. But we are to believe that the shooters didn’t need their expensive, hard to get, high-powered rifles any longer. So they dropped them. Right.

Oh, the stink does rise from this carcass. Who’s stupid here?� continue reading..

Why Obama Won’t Talk Debt- He is the New, Lesser Teflon President.

“Obama & Michelle will take the tax payer’s jet to his gala fund raiser events tonight instead of meeting with Congress over the plebian issues of the debt ceiling & national debt.”

He sneers that only ‘people with jets’ will be asked to contribute more (though these same jet owners already pay 40% of ALL taxes paid to the U.S. government already). What he doesn’t mention is that he will also increase taxes on those earning a mere $250,000 as well. Those are not jet owners. Those are not even rich in today’s’ world. George Soros, with his billions, is rich. And he is Obama’s good friend. Now why would Obama raise taxes on his friend? Because, my friend, the truly wealthy don’t pay taxes at all. Their money is locked up in off shore companies, shell companies, and clever schemes. Soros laughs at taxes. Only the hard working, sweating small business owner will be crushed by the new taxes proposed by Obama & the Dems. And they are the ENGINE of the economy. Hmmmm….  Obama video & commentary

Reaction to Obama’s Afghanistan Speech

Reaction to Obama’s Afghanistan Speech.

I want to pull out of Afghanistan. But not the way Obama does it. The guy makes a speech about Afghanistan when he should be making a speech about Libya. To Congress. Because he is making war when the Congress has not agreed with him. Everything about what Obama says makes causes me pause with suspicion. Especially if he agrees with me. So, he wants to pull out of Afghanistan. Why? See, I think we have lost our way in Afghanistan. We no longer know what our mission is. When Bush attacked, the mission was #1) Punish those who perpetrated 9/11 and 2) to destroy, forever Al Qaeda. Especially their training camps. # 1 is done. #2 is a work in progress and will be so for some time to come. Sooo…. why are we there? It needs to be re-defined. I was waiting for Obama to outline our new focus. He did not do so. He simply told Al Qaeda when they could re-commence building political alliances and training camps.

Now, I am no dummy. I know we need to prevent further Al Qaeda training camps from growing in Afghanistan and from anywhere around the world. But do we need boots ..continue reading..

Stinging Quote of the Day – Wait a second… Say that again?

What’s going on here? Despite the ferocious opposition he has faced since the day he took office, Mr. Obama is clearly still clinging to his vision of himself as a figure who can transcend America’s partisan differences. And his political strategists seem to believe that he can win re-election by positioning himself as being conciliatory and reasonable, by always being willing to compromise.

But if you ask me, I’d say that the nation wants — and more important, the nation needs — a president who believes in something, and is willing to take a stand. And that’s not what we’re seeing.

I hilite the “yea””s for a reason. Wannna guess what it is? OK, I’ll give one clue. Democrats passed this thing 51-12. Without one single Republican needing to vote, they passed it. The military didn’t like it, the gay community didn’t like it, no one liked it. The Democrat controlled House, the Democrat controlled Senate, and the Democrat President rammed it through anyway. According to Clinton, it wasn’t perfect, but it was a start. Media pretty much ignored “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” for a while until it became expedient. Over time, it became purely a Republican issue as the Republicans did exactly as the Democrats did years before and effectively ignored it. The media bias culminated itself this year when Lady Gaga chastised Republicans for talking about filibustering the bill that would eliminate Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell:
http://abcnews.go.com/assets/player/walt2.6/flash/SFP_Walt.swf

“I will not stop calling until I reach them to tell them to vote with Sen. Harry Reid to end John McCain’s ‘shameless filibuster,’” she said.

She then calls two Democrats who refuse to take her call. There was no filibuster, Harry Reid never sent it to the floor. The gays returned to attacking the hell out of Republicans only even though the Democrats once again had all the votes they needed to pass the legislation to end it. All the while, no one was mentioning the fact that a lawsuit was working it’s way through the legal system to undo what Bill Clinton and the Democrats did in 1993. It wasn’t filed by Lady Gaga. It wasn’t filed by any Democrat. It was filed by the Log Cabin Republicans. And then a weird thing happened. They won. Republicans, who controlled nothing in DC, did what Harry Reid refused to do. They ended “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”. The Obama administration thought about it for a couple of days. And, knowing how the gays felt about DADT, had this to offer:

WASHINGTON — After two days of silence, the Obama administration urged a federal judge on Thursday to let the military press on with its “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gays serving openly in the military. Still, President Barack Obama insisted the policy that has divided the nation for two decades “will end on my watch.”

The Pentagon said the military “will of course obey the law” and halt enforcement while the case is still in question. But gay rights advocates cautioned gay service members to avoid revealing their sexuality in the meantime.

A federal judge abruptly threw out the Clinton-era ban on Tuesday, setting in motion a legal, political and human-rights back-and-forth that put the administration on the spot just two weeks before crucial midterm elections. Obama has consistently argued against the ban, approved by Congress in 1993. But he says it is up to Congress to repeal it.

The policy, summed up as “don’t ask, don’t tell,” refers to guidance that gay or lesbian Americans can serve in the military but not openly. Their superiors are forbidden to ask about sexual orientation, but service members can be thrown out or denied enlistment if they talk about being gay or let it be known that they engage in homosexual acts.

Obama’s Justice Department asked U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips to stay her ruling that overturned the ban while the government prepares a formal appeal. Asking the judge for a response by Monday – “given the urgency and gravity of the issues” – the government said that suddenly ending the ban would be disruptive and “irreparably harm the public interest in a strong and effective military.”

Obama, challenged Thursday at a town hall meeting by a Howard University faculty member who questioned his “alleged commitment to equality for all Americans, gay and straight,” said his stance has not wavered. He can’t end the ban with the stroke of a pen, he said, but “we’re going to end this policy.”

You read that right. The Obama Administration is asking for a delay in the ruling so the Obama Administration can prepare an appeal to the ruling. They wanna fight it. So, even though the Democrats wrote DADT, passed DADT, have ruled over DADT for nine of the seventeen years it’s been existance, refused to vote to end DADT, and now are fighting legally to keep DADT, I bet you good money there won’t be a single liberal gay person come out and point their finger where the problem is, has been, and continues to be. If they do, I’d love to see their comments here. The reason DADT has survived all these years considering no one seems to like it is because the Democrats know they won’t be held accountable for it so no need to antagonize their moderate to conservative base, and the Republicans know that no matter what they do they won’t get any credit so they have no reason to antagonize their base either. When media and gays become less partisan and more objective then maybe they’ll get what they want.

Until then, they’ll have to keep relying on the Republicans. It’s a core issue with Republicans in a way most people don’t really think about. In expecting the government to protect a minority, the government has to do it in a way that is equitable to all people affected by the minority. Sometimes that doesn’t necessarily work to the minority’s advantage. By NOT recognizing the minority as a minority, it removes the issue of being a minority and allows the issues that affect that minority to be addressed. There is no reason to protect gays in the military. They are already protected by our Constitution. What needs to be protected are the rights gays have as US citizens. When that occurs, gays will have all the same rights as anyone else in the military and I am quite sure that would make everyone happy. Repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell therefore is kind of moot to me. What needs to happen is all references to discriminating on the basis of sexual preferance need to be eliminated. I really don’t buy the argument that it would be disruptive to the military at all. Obama may want you to believe that, but I don’t.

Extending the Bush tax cuts

I’m still trying to figure this all out.

John Boehner said he might play nice with Obama and support whatever tax cuts Obama wants, since it’s better than nothing. Robert Gibbs immediately attacked Boehner pointing out it was the policies of the last eight years that got us in this mess now. That reflects what Obama said in Cleveland last week as well. So, now Boehner is being attacked for saying he will possibly support Obama. Which side is the “party of No”?

James Lee hearted Al Gore

James Lee was influenced by Al Gore. He believed An Inconvenient Truth was gospel. What else do I have to say?

Just a suggestion, only a suggestion, maybe Obama needs to direct his Homeland Security people to look in a different direction? The last two attacks certainly can’t be described as “right wing extremism”. Ya think Janet Napolitano’s making that argument to Obama right now? Do you really?

That pesky 10,000 mark

A few months or so ago, Obama hit the beach and started delivering his “economy is recovering, but not enough” message.  Some think this was in response to the rather catastrophic forecast of the first Tuesday in November.  Personally, I do.  “It’s the economy, stupid.”  Simple message, hard to debate.  The message then was that the recovery was so obvious even his critics had to admit it.  He wouldn’t say who they were, but you know who they are because they would go home and take credit for the successes.  Well, as of today, it’s not being reflected on Wall Street.  That’s who Obama blames for all of our problems. 

When he gave that speech, the Dow had just topped 10,500.  As of today, it’s 9,985.  What’s scarier is some finance guys are forecasting 5,000 in less than two years.  I won’t rule them out.  I’m looking for that “critic” that has to admit that negative growth is an obvious sign of recovery. 

In the time he gave that speech, new housing permits have dropped from historic lows.  I don’t think anyone in housing construction is quite ready to admit that negative growth is an obvious sign of recorvery either.

In the time since he gave that speech, unemployment has dropped .2%.  However, employment has dropped precipitously as well.  It’s not that fewer are claiming unemployment benefits because they’re finding jobs, it’s that fewer people are even trying to at this point.  I don’t think too many critics will admit that fewer people working is an obvious sign of recovery either.

Quite frankly, the speech he made on May 18, 2010 claiming his critics were going home taking credit for the obvious recovery is just a flat out lie.  It looked bad then, it looks much worse now.  I’d shout out “You lie!”, but then I’d be called a racist.  So, I won’t.  I’ll just type it very quietly here.

More people out of work while imports surge?

While employment still failed to gain any traction, businesses increased their inventories and invested in infrastructure. Usually when businesses invest heavily, you get employment. This time however, it all came from overseas by way of imports, which surged 28%.

The reason is simple, it’s so much cheaper to buy overseas than it is to try to manufacture this stuff here. And, with Obama making damn sure hiring people gets as expensive as he possibly can, it’s just going to get worse. There’s no law that tells businesses they have to buy domestic. Even with Obama’s Cash for Clunkers program, most of that money went to buy foreign made cars. Sure, some of them were manufactured in the United States, but a lot were not. And apparently a good deal of the current ARRA money is being sent out of the country. That just doesn’t really do us much good now does it? Borrowing money to give to other countries. Bad plan.

Rule #1: If you receive Recovery money, it has to stay here. That won’t solve the whole problem, but it will certainly mitigate the damage of these brain-dead stimulus programs.

And the next time Obama brags on the millions of jobs he saved, ask him which country they were in.

That Bush wrecked the economy pushing two wars myth

The prevailing story that liberals have hung their hat on for the last couple of years is Obama can’t win because he was strung with funding two wars. No economy can sustain that. Case closed. Sounds simple enough. Numbers should back that one up, right?

Look close at that again. Make sense? Try again. Without going into a whole lot of detail, quite simply, in his first year, Barack Obama spent more on his stimulus than the entire Iraq War. The CBO puts the actual cost of the Iraqi war at $709 billion. Not the $3 trillion cited by Obama.

It’s not that he was slightly wrong on an estimate or anything, he was way off. No one has a clue where that number came from. That amounts to about $100 billion a year. To put it in perspective, his stimulus plans have accounted for about $800 billion. A year. All those wonderful things he could have done with that $3 trillion never would have existed. He lied to you.

To put it in proper perspective, his one year of stimulus cost us more than the entire eight years of the Iraq War. Raise your hands, how many people benefited from the stimulus? We could have benefitted probably, but his special interests got it first. I’m not in a union, it didn’t do squat for me.

If we couldn’t afford those wars, then it’s obvious we can’t afford Obama.

Obama supports the 911 Mosque

“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country,”

“That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,” he said. “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable.”

There has to be someone out there who is surprised by this.  2 in 10 New Yorkers polled supported the idea of the Cordoba House.  73% of all polled opposed it.  Blacks, whites, males, females, latinos, you name it, they opposed it.  So, as usual, Obama disregards the will of the majority to assert a moral opinion that he has some special insight that 73% of the people don’t.  That the same funding mechanism and values that supported killing 3,000 innocent New Yorkers should be accepted by those victims simply because it was done in the name of religion.

Clue here Obama, there’s a bunch of New Yorkers who I don’t think are going to be very tolerant.  I don’t expect them to be.  A good portion of that religion has declared holy wars on the citizens of the United States.  Some people take that seriously. 

Others think they can talk their way out of it.

Side note, I’m going to bet this headline alone costs the Democrats 10 more elections.  The rap on Obama was he would be weak on defense.  The very day an aggressive Islamic nation announces they are going nuclear, Obama sells out New York City to Bin Laden.  We are pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan and tossing in Manhatten to boot.  I would hope it would be a lot bigger number than 10, but some people just can’t vote anything but Democrat.

When the heavy lifting is over

7/22/2010: “Now that the heavy lifting is over, we can go out and make our case,”, Joe Biden. The legislative season is over. The big stuff is all done. No more contentious votes for a few months. Nancy Pelosi even went so far as to completely skip the funding process because of the incredible issue that this is an election year. Congress is now expedient.

Obama’s making history

We got the news that unemployment claims have risen this week. That’s in July. That’s as in traditionally one of the busiest months of the year. That puts Obama on a course of distinction:

Cutting Corners is a very bad thing

The Senate passed the finance reform package. They’re sending it to Congress. It’ll pass. It’s 2,300 pages. It’s 390,000 words. When I asked a finance person what the impact would be on my personal bank, and my investments, he said “very little, if any”. Obama’s advice was a little more direct:

“Unless your business model depends on cutting corners or bilking your customers, you have nothing to fear.”

Who defines “cutting corners”?

Who defines “bilking”?

Tossing the Defense of Marriage Act

A federal judge in Massachusetts tossed out the federal Defense of Marriage Act. His logic, get this, is it encroaches on states. Here’s Federal Judge Joseph Tauro’s Ruling On DOMA:

Now, this is where being conservative gets fun for me.  I’m with Judge Tauro 100%.  First, let’s clear the air a litte bit:

Obama sues Arizona

As expected, the United States Department of Justice is apparently filing suit againt the state of Arizona over its immigrant law. Apparently Eric Holder will be running with a pre-emptive supremacy clause. The way I understand it is Holder will be arguing that federal law trumps state law.

And it does.

And Holder will lose.

Allah destroys infidel planet

Charles Bolden took bold new steps in pushing NASA in its new direction today.

infidel planet

What was discussing the hottest known planet in the universe will now simply be referred to as an infidel planet being destroyed per Allah’s will.

Or, moreso Barack Obama and Charlie Bolden’s will.

NASA’s new mission ( you’re not gonna believe this one! )

A few months ago, President Obama gutted NASA. People threw a fit. In order to get his health care reform passed, Obama cut a deal. Charles Bolden was the man to get it done. Quite confident in NASA’s lack of direction, Charles Bolden was now in charge of Obama’s newest direction. They were going to build the next generation module, with no rocket to carry it. In other words, NASA’s five year mission became to boldly go nowhere.

Obama’s speech on immigration

Obama just gave a speech on immigration.  I was told it was coming.  He had totally lost the leadership role on the issue and needed to get it back.  So, expect a speech.  Well, we just got it.  He spoke at length on the merits of legal immigrants.  People who moved to the US and made the US a better place, their lives better, and the entire world.  He spoke of the huddled masses who work their fingers to the bone 20 hours every day so their poor but honest children can have a better life.  He spoke of the horrible people trying to take all that away.

What he never mentioned was the drug trafficking, the human trafficking, the murders, the violence, and other stuff that’s gotten so bad his own Homeland Security people decided to put up signs:

Border Sign

The first word on the sign, in big letters, says “DANGER”.  Obama never mentioned the signs.

Flying drones to make sure illegals get paid fairly?

This is indicative of the complete chaos coming out of the Obama administration at this time. And, given liberal philosophy, it won’t stop.

The Obama Department of Labor just spent your money to put together an advertising campaign letting illegal workers know they have rights to minimum wage standards. In Spanish.

They don’t have one in French. Guess Ms. Solis isn’t too worried about French Canadians being taken advantage of. That could never, ever, ever, be considered racial profiling would it?

Throwing Petraeus under the Moveon bus

This is precious.

I displayed my prophecy skills adeptly a couple of days ago in predicting General McChrystal’s departure. OK, the whole country did too. What I don’t think too many people did was predict the replacement. Here’s a discussion Obama had with Petraeus in 2007:

Throwing McChrystal under the bus

I’m not going to spend much time or effort on this one.

Obama has to fire McChrystal.  McChrystal left him no other option.  McChrystal did it on purpose.  Obama was totally ignoring him, totally ignoring the war, and putting his men in harm’s way for no real purpose.  He had no choice but to call out Obama.

McChrystal was a fool for accepting the position in the first place knowing how anti-military Obama was.

That’s it.

What’s Wrong With Obama?

The Beast already brought up some of the head-scratching from the MSM here and here.

I’m not a psychologist of any kind, but even as a layman I think this analysis makes a lot of sense. Sure, it’s arguable as it is one person’s (even if she is a psychotherapist) opinion.

Interesting to ponder, nonetheless.

A Shrink Asks: What’s Wrong with Obama?
By Robin of Berkeley
So what is the matter with Obama? Conservatives have been asking this question for some time. I’ve written a number of articles trying to solve the mystery.

Even some liberals are starting to wonder. James Carville railed about Obama’s blasé attitude after the catastrophic oil spill. The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd revamped Obama’s “Yes We Can” motto into “Will We Ever?”

The liberal women of the TV show “The View” have expressed sympathy for Michelle Obama’s living with a man so out of touch. Peggy Noonan, hardly a vehement Obama foe, recently pronounced him disconnected.

Obama’s odd mannerisms intrigue a psychotherapist like me. He also presents a serious diagnostic challenge.

Empowering the mentally challenged whether they want it or not

Fellow blogger Rudolph Carrera touched on a topic that’s close to me.   I have worked with the elderly for twenty years.  I have specifically worked with homebound indigent elderly for eighteen of those years.  Over those years we’ve had to deal with one “initiative” after another.  In very short time each one exposed weaknesses that eventually pushed its funding back to where it was in the first place.  Now, as Rudolph points out, they’re cutting funding to the people that need it most.  The indigent elderly are often abandoned by their families, if they even have one.  They are very often suffering from either the onset of, or the full symptoms of Alzheimers.  And, they are most likely unknowledgeable in how their governments work.  And, what makes them most vulnerable of all is their services are most often provided by very small organizations that are very often non-profits and charitable organizations.  In other words, they don’t have the lobbying cash the doctor’s associations do.  Although everyone is supposed to take a hit with the Medicaid cuts, the doctors are lobbying hard to get their cuts funded.  And, in Kentucky, and I imagine most other states, theyr’e getting support from the governors.  In our case, and I imagine most states, the Area Agencies on Aging aren’t even being mentioned as the governors lobby Congress.

Obama’s EPA Approved candle

Hey all.  I’m, glad to be here.  I don’t normally post an awful lot.  I’ll kick it off with an observation that I think is the perfect example of what exactly Obama has in mind for our future.  I stumbled across this on a clandestine mission a few days ago:

Obama's EPA approved candle

Not to be confused with a jar of blood, it’s a candle. It’s wax. It’s only wax. There is no wick. It does not burn. It does not emit light. It is a zero-carbon footprint candle. Now, I was assured this was most likely a screwed up attempt at a real candle, but I know better. I’m much too fast to pass that test. This is some company’s shot at the federal candle market. It fits perfectly into the EPA’s new no-carbon standards. Now, although I have no factory, I will offer anyone who wishes to have the Obama EPA approved candle for $19.99. Sure, it’s a little pricey for a candle, but in order to meet EPA’s new no-carbon standards, extra effort has to be made to remove the wick. Not sure how much shipping and handling will be as I’m not sure any shippers can meet the new no-carbon standards yet. But, somehow, for some cost, I will get it to you. Promise. I’ll bill you for whatever I want to charge after you get it.

Obama in the bunker

Yet another parody of the classic scene from “The Bunker”.

This time it’s Election Night 2009, from the White House…

Obama’s Revenge Against GM

Watching Obama is a psychiatrist’s delight. Here we have a middle-aged man with no real-world accomplishments, but with truly astonishing grandiosity and a rock-star following that confirms his Jesus Christ Complex at every opportunity. Obama must have real, ingrained grandiosity, the kind that is anchored deep in the soul. He goes ‘way beyond the usual high-fallutin’ rhetoric from presidential speech writers — because he has just fired the President and CEO of General Motors, something no previous president, including FDR or JFK, would ever have imagined doing.

That’s not rhetoric, and it isn’t just show. It’s a political gamble unprecedented in American history, a throw of the dice so breath-taking that the press, the pundits and the voters haven’t yet been able to take it in. It is a sort of political Blitzkrieg, a lightning stroke so sudden that it’s hard to even understand, but which will trigger wave upon wave of thunderous echoes in the years to come.

If this were a Hitchcock movie I’d be settling back for a rollicking good time. Unfortunately, it is reality — and that means we have another four years of this psychodrama to live through. Good luck to us all.

The liberal cliché — a false one — is that capitalism follows the slogan, “What’s good for General Motors is good for the United States.” For the moment it is not relevant that the President of GM never said that during the Eisenhower years. What’s important is that Google shows 389,000,000 citations for the phrase “good for General Motors.” It’s a mental meme gone viral on the Left, and all the liberals think it means that to rich capitalists, GM comes first and everybody else comes later — or maybe never. It is the leftist accusation that has stuck in the minds of the liberals.

We know that Obama has a very conventional mind. I have not heard a single novel or even interesting idea from the man over all the months that I’ve listened to him. He clearly has no understanding of classical economics. He doesn’t understand, as Bill Clinton did, the real harm and suffering that welfare dependency has inflicted on black people after LBJ’s War on Poverty. He does not understand the elementary difference between productive and non-productive investment of scarce resources. He has no conception of the damage inflicted by inflation on the poor, more than even on the rest of the country. He has no real understanding of the dizzying complexities of foreign policy — nor does his Secretary of State, who was hardly picked for her competence in foreign affairs.

These are not just rank amateurs, they are willfully ignorant amateurs, who also happen to be grandiose narcissists, and who now have free reign over the levers of power in the United States. We are all watching the Titanic steaming full speed ahead right before that diamond-hard iceberg tears off all the steel rivets from her skin. If you’re not aghast, you’re just not paying attention.

So why did he decide to fire Rick Wagoner, the President and CEO of General Motors?

Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuehrer

I received this email from a friend, which I Snopesed.
Here and here.

Gotta say, I’m not surprised in the least. I had this vibe from the start, just like I saw through Slick Willie when he was campaigning. But I never thought I’d see a “Messiah” who would be magnitudes of order worse.
I don’t agree with the “white supremacists” part. I don’t personally know one conservative who is a racist. And I certainly wouldn’t call him/her my friend. I’d rebuke that person publicly.

Dr. Sam Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist. He presents an interesting view of our new President.

Dr. Vaknin has written extensively about narcissism. Dr. Vaknin states “I must confess I was impressed by Sen. Barack Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident – a wholesome presidential package. I was put off soon, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama’s speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history. Never a politician in this land had such quasi “religious” impact on so many people. The fact that Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishments makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects.”

Barack Obama is a narcissist.

Make Mine Freedom

Pay special attention to the narrator starting about 8:45…pushing class warfare, racism, etc. What party does that sound like?

Any similarity between Dr. Ism and the Current Occupant is purely coincidental, considering this was made approx. 13 years before he was born.

Obama Worship

Crissakes. I admired Ronald Reagan because he actually stood for what I believe in.

We still don’t know really what the heck Obama believes in (aside from socialism), and yet these people are just over-the-top infatuated.

I’d like to think they are “one offs”, but I’ve got at least one “live one” in my neighborhood.

Late January, I was taking a different route out of our ‘hood. I noticed that there were still a very few houses with their Christmas lights on. I came upon one with a spotlight on the side of the house and I could tell there was a portrait in the window. I thought it might be of Jesus, but nope– you guessed it– it was an illuminated portrait of Obama. If I hadn’t been in a hurry, I would have parked my car and taken a picture as proof. I drove by last week and noticed the photo is no longer being displayed. It was up for at least 10-14 days, though, cuz Mr. Mo saw it, too.

Most Obamanites don’t go to that extreme, but they still feel that he will end all their worries.

I’m going to be frank here, and I don’t care if you’re offended. I really think less of people who support him, because he doesn’t inspire us to be responsible for our own lives. All he does is encourage people to want handouts.

(Wes, I know you’re going to point out Bush, the Republicans, yada yada. I AGREE with you. I want CONSERVATISM, not the Republican party in its current form.)

Reagan/Obama Debate

How a Reagan/Obama debate might sound.

God help us under Obama’s administration.

And knowing that the USA’s total debt now exceeds The World’s??

I swear. The next Obama voter who whines about how fiscally UN-conservative Bush was, I just may have to punch in the nose.

Obama Reads Bush’s Letter

Saw this on a blog I frequent, and it made me giggle.

The world will be more dangerous than ever with Obama at the helm

I have long held the belief that the world is a far more dangerous, unpredictable and violent place with Democratic presidents. When the enemy sees you as weak and your allies see you as unreliable world crisis that have been on the back burner will quickly flare up to the forefront. The Israelis have moved quickly to squash Hamas while they can and it appears they may be prepared to move swiftly and decisively against Iran if the US is unwilling to do so. The Obama presidency will be one international crisis and disaster after another and “thank goodness” Hillary and Biden will be there to handle them. Obama may want to talk and play nice with the despots, tyrants, terrorists and brutalizers of the world but he well quickly learn than power comes from the barrel of a gun and our enemies, and the enemies of our friends, respect only those willing to rain down death and destruction upon them.

The time clock has run out: Israel ready to strike Iran

In an interview with FOX News, Bolton reasoned that Israel wouldn’t be able to hold off a strike on Iran any longer than that given Obama’s more conciliatory approach to Iran.

The Israeli government “would have to make a judgment whether to [strike] during the remainder of President Bush’s term in office or wait for his successor,” Bolton added.

William Perry, U.S. Secretary of Defense under President Bill Clinton, said that Obama would face a major crisis in his first few months in office over Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Perry, speaking at a foreign policy conference on Jan. 8, said that Iran is “moving inexorably toward becoming a nuclear power” and “it seems clear that Israel will not sit by idle while Iran takes the final steps toward becoming a nuclear power.”

And former CIA officer Robert Baer, author of the new book “The Devil We Know: Dealing with the New Iranian Superpower,” told Newsmax in October that Iran was at that time probably months, if not weeks, away from war with Israel.

The repercussions of an Israeli attack are not clear.

This could be interesting – Burris should be seated

Watching a bunch of white Democrats refusing to seat and denying entry to a legally appointed, sole black member of the United States Senate should be interesting. If I was Burris, I’d make every effort to enter the chambers as is the right of every Senator and make them deny entry. That should be immediately followed by a press conference and maybe he can throw in the line “don’t lynch me” a couple more times like he did at his appointment press conference.

I love to see the degeneracy, hypocrisy, scandal, and corruption of the Democratic Party played out on the national stage as much as possible. With that in mind I do appreciate Blagovitch showing that he has a pair by continueing to carry out his powers and privileges as a sitting governor and not being intimidated by the party bosses who are certainly no more “clean” or morally upright than he is.

Democrats have “Plan” if Burris shows up

The aide familiar with Senate Democratic leaders’ plans said if Burris tries to enter the Senate chamber, the Senate doorkeeper will stop Burris. If Burris were to persist, either trying to force his way onto the Senate floor or refusing to leave and causing a scene, U.S. Capitol Police would stop him, said the aide. 

“They (police) probably won’t arrest him” but they would call the sergeant-at-arms,” the aide said.

When asked about what would happen if he shows up and tries to be seated, Burris told the Chicago Tribune that he’s, “not going to create a scene in Washington.” He added, “We hope it’s negotiated out prior to my going to Washington.”

Oh, the irony

I heard a slight mention of this on the radio (not TV, though. Anyone else still wondering why we need talk radio and Internet/blogs?) .
For the record, this will be an extremely rare thing I ever do — I am copying this post in total (which is really a no-no), and it happens to be from one whom I consider my second Blog Father [the first one being Kim du Toit. OK, yes, I'm shamelessly linking to the recent post with pic where I was his T-shirt ad gal for the NoR a coupla years ago. But what the hell. BTW, sadly (for us Constitutionalists), he's retiring from blogging the end of this month]

Thank you, Denny, for your post. I couldn’t agree more:
