What Happens If the US Defaults?
Jun 18, 2015 Political
The United States is supposed to be the world’s superpower and the dollar the world’s currency but America is unable to control its spending. Despite taking in record amounts of money the federal government continues to spend even more.
We have 18 TRILLION dollars of debt but we have over 100 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities. These are things the government has promised but cannot pay for. When the day comes for those items to be paid the US will not honor the obligations because it will be unable to.
The war cry from liberals is to tax the rich more. The wealthy folks in our country pay most of the taxes. The bottom 47% of earners pay NO federal tax and often get back more than was withheld in an income redistribution scheme overseen by the IRS.
Taxing the wealthy would not solve the problem. If we confiscated 100% of the money the wealthy have the government would run out of that money in a few months. Then there would be no more to take and we would still have huge bills to pay.
China, among other nations, holds a lot of our debt. If China ever called for us to pay them everything back we would go under. The Chinese could collapse our economy, and thus our nation, and it would never have to take a hostile act to do it.
We are in serious trouble and it is getting worse. Soon, if things do not change, we will be like Greece.
The government there is looking at every possibility to solve its financial woes and that includes confiscating money from citizens and limiting their access to their own money. The US has schemes and one of them is to confiscate all the money in the various retirement plans throughout the nation. Doing so would give the government TRILLIONS of dollars to spend. It would keep us from defaulting for a while but it would leave everyone penniless. We would all be wards of the state.
Nanny state types will insist it is for the greater good and that the money confiscated can pay bills and be used to evenly pay every person a retirement. It would allow them to redistribute to the poor who have little or no retirement money saved while forcing those who saved to accept small amounts and live meager lives in retirement.
This of course assumes that the public will not revolt and stop this from happening by any means possible. That is a distinct possibility since people do not like their money to be screwed with. The poor who stand to gain will likely support it as will politicians who want to enslave even more people to the government plantation. Those who stand to lose will likely not take any action lying down.
The unrest will make for an environment where any enemy can take advantage and start trouble.
This all because our government can’t live within our means. This because our government insists on spending money on things that are not authorized by the Constitution. This because the tax system is screwed up and complicated and because the money that is confiscated from the people of the states is held over the heads of the states to gain compliance with ever increasing federal rule.
We need to abolish the IRS, change to a simpler tax system where EVERY wage earner pays (and we all pay the same percentage) and we need to harness the out of control government to force it to only spend money on things it is allowed to spend on.
Troubling times are coming and we will all pay a heavy price for the things our arrogant government is doing.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

O’Malley NOT Fit To Be President
Jun 15, 2015 2016 Election, Political
Can we all agree that the reason to vote for someone to be president is NOT because they are black (the first or otherwise), they are a woman or they are a midget or Muslim or any other physical characteristic? Can we all just agree that these characteristics do not make a person a leader or worthy of the position of president? Some people voted for Obama solely because he is black and he has been a disaster. Hillary wants your vote because she is a woman. Those are not traits that one should base voting on. They are things people cannot even control.
Martin O’Malley of Maryland wants to be the president. He wants to be that so he can dictate to you how to live your life. An article in the Washington Post says O’Malley is little known and not the front runner but that he would win a swimsuit contest.
The article shows O’Malley, who is in good physical shape, coming out of the Chesapeake Bay in the middle of the winter after he participated in the Polar Bear Plunge. He is in a long pair of what might be swim trunks.
Oh my, he looks dreamy so vote for him. He is such a stud and will give the half-naked Putin a run for his money in the bare chested beefcake leader department. The article is clever in that it leads people to think the WAPO wants you to forget him as a candidate and think about how great he looks. The reality is the WAPO loves him and wants your mind to think of how wonderful it would be to have this dreamy dude in the White House.
Give me a break. Being fit is not a quality that one should use to decide on the leader of this nation. O’Malley is in great shape but he violates his oath of office, violates the Constitution (of the US and of Maryland) and he is a nanny state progressive who thinks government is your mommy and daddy. Physically fit or not he is not fit to lead this nation.
[note]Sarah Palin is in great shape and the left skewered her as some kind of Bimbo. In other words, the fact that she was (and is) in great shape was not touted by the WAPO as a plus for her in the election nor should it have been.[/note]
The people of Maryland have suffered under the rule of liberal Democrats for decades. The state has high taxes, onerous laws (Maryland law allows them to tax the RAIN), and is a huge violator of our Second Amendment right. Martin O’Malley was very instrumental in all of these things. He raised taxes scores of times so he could spend the money on things government should not be involved in as part of the progressive agenda and in an effort to support illegal things (like providing for people who are in the country illegally). O’Malley and his progressive allies passed restrictive gun laws that added even more burden. Maryland had tough (unconstitutional) gun laws and O’Malley made them worse.
There are not enough negative words in the English language to describe O’Malley. He is a slug who wants to be the dictator he was in Maryland on a national level.
Reject him (and all progressives) or you will regret it (unless you are one of the slugs living off the taxpayer).
I would prefer competent leaders who follow the Constitution and I don’t care what kind of shape they are in, what sex they are, what color, religion or heritage they are or if they use tobacco products.
As long as the person is able to lead and do so following the Constitution then I am interested in taking a closer look.
Oh, and I don’t care what party the person belongs to (though I can’t imagine finding a Democrat to fit the bill)…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Welfare Funding Terrorism…
Jun 8, 2015 Political
A number of Muslim store owners have been caught in an EBT for cash scheme that uses the money scammed from the welfare system to pay for jihad.
These schemes are not new and they are not limited to Muslim businesses. The EBT system has been rife with corruption and fraud for a number of years. There are plenty of stores that use illegal means to give cash to people for bogus charges against the EBT. Usually a store will ring up items and pay the person a portion of the amount while keeping the items in stock where they can actually be sold for profit. There are also schemes where people get 50 cents on the dollar for bogus transactions.
The system is full of fraud and now the Muslim businesses have taken the fraud scheme a step further and are using the money to pay for holy war.
Fortunately these people were found out and many are now in custody with warrants out for a lot more of them.
The welfare system is a mess. There is no accountability and billions of taxpayer dollars are wasted through this system of fraud.
We need to end this system and do something else. The best welfare, of course, is a job.
But there are millions of cases of MREs in warehouses that can be given to families so they can eat. If they are good enough for the troops they are good enough for welfare recipients.
No matter what they do though, there is no way this program should be financing terrorism.
Joe Biden said it was patriotic to pay taxes.
Looks like using welfare is supporting terrorism…
Cave canem!

Obama Is A Delusional Narcissist
Jun 2, 2015 Political
Obama is viewed as weak by a large portion of the world. He is routinely made a fool of by other nations and their people and he has made the US a laughing stock in some parts of the world.
But to listen to Bathhouse Barry tell it he made the US the most respected country on the planet:
“People don’t remember, but when I came into office, the United States in world opinion ranked below China and just barely above Russia, and today once again, the United States is the most respected country on earth. Part of that I think is because of the work we did to reengage the world and say we want to work with you as partners with mutual interests and mutual respect. It was on that basis we were able to end two wars while still focusing on the very real threat of terrorism and try to work with our partners in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s the reason why we are moving in the direction to normalize relations with Cuba and the nuclear deal that we are trying to negotiate with Iran.” Breitbart [Spelling errors in original corrected in this copy]
We get so much respect that Russia and China are doing what they want and slapping us in the face while doing it, Iran is negotiating with us while openly telling us they won’t abide by the deal and ISIS is threatening to come to this nation and kill the president at the White House. Not to mention the wars he ended are still ongoing and we have lost billions of dollars in equipment to terrorists because those we are “working with in Iraq and Afghanistan” fled and left it for them to take.
This does not sound like respect to me.
Then again maybe it means something different to Obama.
Of course he does have a history of drug use…
Cave canem!

Making Vaccines Mandatory Requires Hiding Data
Jun 2, 2015 Political, Tyranny
There is no doubt government at all levels wants mandatory vaccines for everyone. The big push was for school aged children but in recent years there has been a backlash over the program.
Some parents do NOT want their children vaccinated. I think vaccines are generally a good idea but have issues with them being mandatory. Once government can make any vaccine mandatory it can make them all so. This was the case with Gardasil. It was made mandatory in Texas and people pushed back. But government had a precedent because it has already made some vaccines mandatory.
Gardasil is not a necessary vaccine. While it might be helpful to some it is not something that is required and can cause more problems than it solves.
I understand the whole herd immunity idea but if most kids are vaccinated and a few are not then they are at risk and if they get sick or die because they were not vaccinated then it is on the parents who decided not to do so.
[note]Funny how a woman’s body is her own if she wants to abort her unborn child but if she decides not to vaccinate a child she chooses to have she is in the wrong…(In both cases she is deciding for the child. It just depends on where the child is residing at the time)[/note]
The government wants to extend its reach and force adults to get vaccinated as well. One would expect that most adults are vaccinated but there are some who are not. The government wants to force them to get vaccinated.
Who the hell is the government to force people, particularly adults, to have something injected into their bodies?
What’s the big deal? They should have gotten them as children and they will be healthier. Really? Seems to me they made it this far without them.
Plus, and this is a big plus, what happens when the government decides some new vaccine is a must for everyone? What happens when flu shots are made mandatory (and government never gets that one wrong /sarc)?
Suppose a vaccine is developed to prevent HIV and government decides that everyone MUST get it? Now a vaccine for that might be good and it might help at risk populations (homosexual males and IV drug users) but for the larger population it will have no value. It will likely be worse for them in the long run given the low odds of getting HIV.
There are also the sinister aspects of this. Government can’t be trusted. What if they decided that mandatory vaccines would be a good way to put RFID chips in people without their consent? Can’t happen you say?
The US used a vaccine program as a cover to get DNA samples of people in the Middle East to look for relatives of terrorists particularly Bin Laden in hopes of tracking him down.
What is all the hidden data you referred to in the title?
Sharyl Attkisson has a piece up about how the government has wiped recent vaccine injury data from its website. It is a good read and worth the time.
What does that have to do with your whole rant here?
In order to get buy in of the population to willingly line up and let people inject stuff into them it must be presented as safe. By hiding data the government can tell people that it is safe and there are no worries. If people can’t find information to the contrary they will foolishly believe that their government is telling them the truth and they will not resist. Why else would they hide it?
The liberal/progressive/socialist people in government don’t care how they get you to comply so long as you comply.
If you want to be vaccinated then by all means do so. But you are supposed to be free and if you do not want things injected into your body then you can say no.
Just don’t sue if you catch something you could have been vaccinated for and get sick or die (in which case it would obviously be your heirs suing).
Government lies so it is best to know the facts before doing anything.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
